July balmy compared to ’83 scorcher If the dog days of summer are yet to come, area retail- ers of air conditioners, fans and ice cream should enjoy a banner summer. For area residents, who welcomed news of “cool” temperatures in the 70s this week after 5 consecutive 90- plus degree days, however, the recent stretch of hot and humid weather has been sticky at best, dangerous at worst. Although temperatures this summer haven’t been far warmer than in past years, it has been warmer to date than in the same period in 1986,1985 and 1984. Humidity, which resi- dents and weathermen agree has been the real cul- prit recently, has made the heat even more uncomfort- able. Forecasters say they ex- pect temperatures to climb back up into the 80s this weekend, which will con- tinue the trend of warm days. While June’s average high temperature was 81 degrees, with 4 days in the OS, this month’s average to date is 87 degrees. Temperatures peaked at 94 Saturday and Sunday, according to data collected at the Wastewater Treat- ment Plant in Cass City. Average high tempera- tures in June and July in each of the past 3 summers were: 75 degrees in June 1986 (high of 88) and 82 in July (high of 94) ; 73 in June 1985 (high of 86) and 84 in July (high of 92), and 82 in June 1984 (high of 90) and 84 in July (high of 90). The recent heat wave doesn’t compare with the scorcher recorded in 1983-- at least not yet. In July 1983, the average high was 96, with 12 consecutive days of 90-plus degree tempera- tures beginning July 10. Highs during that period were, in order, 90,94,94,96, 97, 99, 99, 99, 96, 98, 99, 93.

R,ussell, who’s in her fifth year ,of working at the pool, said that there’s been only one day in which the pool’s maximum 250 person limit has been reached, and that was be- fore the Fourth of July. But, she added, the pool has been used by an aver- age of 150 persons during the 1 to 3 p.m. session--typ- ically the busiest session of the day. Although the pool staff in- cludes 7 full-time employees, 3 substitutes have also seen plenty of working time since the heat set in, Russell said. DOS AND DON’TS Although temperatures locally are expected to ease, residents can proba- bly expect to see more of the same in the near iuture. According to Cass City physician Dr. Richard Hall, persons who follow some comrnon-sense guidelines regarding work and play in the heat can prevent seri- ous health problems. Hall noted that persons should avoid a lot of physi- cal-exertion is the heat of the day and not overdo. Drinking a lot of fluids also is a safeguard against heat- related problems such as heat stroke, he explained. Other suggestibns tdr beating the heat are taking frequent showers or going swimming, wearing light- colored clothing and limit- ing outdoor activity to the cooler periods of the day. Dr. Hall pointed out that persons who are sweating and then suddenly stop sweating should get out of the sun and contact a physi- cian. That symptom is a strong sign of an impending heat stroke, he said, addirig that other symptoms in- clude weakness and dizzi- ness. O=G abandons decade-long struggle to reacquire Belk pard A recent decision denying the Owen-Gage School Dis- trict’s request for another , stay in the Belk property settlement prompted the board of education Monday night to shelve a planned appeal of the settlement. The board also voted to freeze administrators’ wages, and approved purchase of 2 school buses during the monthly meet- ing. The board’s action on the Belk property issue ends a battle spanning more than . a decade between the Owen-Gage and Cass City school districts for the par- cel. “The board had decided that. . .if we could get the stay, then we would file an appeal, and if we couldn’t, then we would drop the case,” school Supt. Harley B. Kirby reminded the board Monday. Kirby’s remarks refer- red to the board’s position regarding a State Board of Education hearing held earlier this year in Lansing. The district’s request to regain the land was later denied. Kirby, who announced that he was notified July 7 that the district’s request for the stay had been de- nied, recommended that the board stick with its deci- sion not to pursue the mat- ter further. The Owen-Gage district lost its fight to keep the property, but has been able to collect property taxes on the land because of stays Sidewalk events start Wednesday granted to the district over the years, board Treasurer Jack Brinkman explained. He added that the district will no longer be collecting those revenues. Brinkman estimated that the property is worth $25,000 to $30,000 per year in tax revenues based on last year’s state equalized valuation. The board, following a 50- minute executive session, voted unanimously to freeze all administrators’ contracts at last year’s weekly wages. Board members said the freeze is necessary due to financial difficulties faced by the district. Base salaries for the dis- trict’s 3 administrators last year were: Kirby, $44,909 based on a 52-week con- tract; high school Principal Robert Andrews, $28,500 based on a 47-week con- tract, and elementary Prin- cipal William Britt, $28,662 based on a 43-week con- tract. The board’s attempt to add to the district’s bus fleet was again a main topic of discussion. The board, after several weeks of investigating pur- chasing and refurbishing options, decided in March to have a 1978 bus refur- bished by Lamco Corp., Pinconning, at a cost of $18,250, not including tires. Rut the company has since gone out of business and will remain so until at least October or November, Kirby said Monday. The board, following dis- cussion, decided to purch- ase 2 new 1986 model buses at a quoted price of $29,351 per bus for a total cost of $58,702.

Voters can cast their bal- lots at their respective school election sites from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The millage, which would raise some $690,000 for op- eration of programs for handicapped students in the local districts, would re- main in effect until voted out. “It’s our task to be an educational cooperative for 9 local districts,” A1 Mahan, assistant superin- tendent of special educa- tion with the district, re- marked Monday. “I guess it’s a question of the local districts providing the ser- vices or the ISD” providing the services. He added that he believes the ISD has done a good job in providing programs for students. Mahan said that inter- mediate school officials are “positive” in terms of the outcome of the election, but indicated a large turnout at the polls isn’t expected. “Typically, rnunty-wide millages like this usually have low turnouts,” he said. Currently, the inter- mediate district, which serves some 1,300 hand- icapped students in the county, levies 1.6 mills. The levy raised $1.35 million in the 1986-87 school year. But Mahan has pointed out that the district has been forced to dip heavily into its fund equity in each of the past 3 years, causing the fund to diminish. If the d millage doesn’t pass, the district will face a fund equity of $60,000 a s of July 1, 1988, the official re- marked. The district has been feel- ing a financial pinch due to plummeting land values, decreases in the state and federal governments’ shares of the cost of special education and increases in the cost of running such programs, Mahan said, ad- ding that there are few op- tions in terms of cutting costs. Aside from 3 programs - music, physical education and aquatics--the inter- mediate district’s offerings are mandated by state or federal government. Staf- fing levels, too, are man- dated, Mahan explained. He said that cutting the 3 non-mandated programs would probably save some $100,000, compared to an expected budget deficit of $345,000 in the 1987-88 school year. 12-year-old is drowning victim A drowning accident claimed the life of a 12- year-old Detroit boy in Day- ton Township Saturday, while a car accident in Tus- cola Township Thursday claimed the seventh life on Tuscola County roads this year. According to the report, Corey T. Greenfield was wading in water on the east side of Shay Lake when he stepped ar-d dropped off a ledge, went underwater at about 5:30 p.m. and never came back up. The boy was swimming with family and friends at the time, the report stated. The body was recovered by divers from the Tuscola County Sheriff’s Depart- ment about an hour and 45 minutes later. He was pro- nounced dead at the scene. One Millington man was killed and 2 others injured when their vehicle left the roadway and rolled over dL noon Thursday on Orme Road. Dead is Kenneth E.

Deputies said Workman was driving eastbound on Orme Road and failed to complete a turn, causing the vehicle to leave the roadway and roll in a ditch.

Benefit concerts bomb in Sanilac A Shabbona couple say they’re disappointed but not bitter with the dismal turnout over the weekend for 2 benefit concerts they organized to raise funds for Sanilac County farmers. Dean G. Smith, 51, his wife Yvonne and their 21- year-old promoted daughter the “Helping Cynthia Hands to Save Farmlands” show, proceeds from which were struggling to be used farmers’ to help prop- pay erty taxes. But the concerts, held at the grounds Sanilac in Sandusky County Fair- with featured performers Por- ter Wagoner Saturday night and Whispering Bill Anderson Sunday, drew a total of only a little more than 200 persons. The fairground grand- stand, meanwhile, seats 3,000 to 3,500 persons. “It’s really discourag- ing; it’s disappointing,” Yvonne remarked Monday. “It (the turnout) was very, very bad.” “We probably won’t be doing any more benefits for the ‘Helping Hands’ pro- ject,” she continued. “We feel the farmers could have been more supportive since we had done it for them.” “But we went into it with our eyes open, so we’ll take the loss. We’re not bitter.” The Smiths’ losses were substantial, with perfor- mers, fairgrounds rental and other related expenses totalling some $23,000. Tic- kets for the performances were sold for $15 per con- cert, or $20 for both shows. The family had planned to give farmers 60 percent of the proceeds after ex- penses, while the remain- ing 40 percent was to be di- vided among the Smiths, the Shabbona RLDS Church and a Sandusky radio station, which volun- teered to help promote the “As far as recovering the money that; we have in- vested, no way,” Yvonne said. “It will take us a while to recover, (but) we’ve been through a lot worse.” The Smiths had hoped for much better, particularly because the benefit concert was the first major project undertaken by the family’s “Southern Country Book- ing Agency,” which was concerts.

what really turns me off TV baseball is the close-up, liv- ing color shots of Sparky and his boys spitting.

Is this disgusting prac- tice an integral part of the game, or are they working to develop a second career in case baseball goes sour?

Actually, the art of spit (How’s that for a contradic- tion in terms?) is big time stuff.

Just a couple weeks ago, Jeff “Faucet Man” Barber, a 14-time spitting champion and world record holder, was dethroned in the 33rd annual National Tohcco Spitting Contest in Raleigh, Miss.

The modest Gary Bur- rows, who defeated the champ, admitted that “the wind made everybody spit shorter today.”

“This morning we were spitting with the wind, but this afternoon there were some crosswinds,” the 23- year-old spitter said. Capri- cious winds, I imagine, would affect expectoraters and spectators alike in such an event.

The winning globule traveled a mere 24’ 11 1/2”, far short of Barber’s 33’ 7 1/2” listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.

The spitting game is in no way limited to tobacco juice, though. The 14th an- nual International Cherry Pit Spit contest was held the 4th of July at the Tree- Mendus Fruit Farm in Eau Claire, according to an As- sociated Press story.

About lo00 spectators and a couple hundred contes- tants were on hand when Rick “Pellet Gun” Krause of Arizona sent a pit 66’ 6”, setting a new world record. Would that qualify as a mis- sile?

The top woman spitter managed a dainty 40’ 4”, and a 13-year-old boy cap- tured the youth division with a projectile of 33’ 11”.

A man from Lebanon won the dignitary (another con- tradiction?) match with a 38‘ 11” spit. Possibly a more vigorous effort would have endangered his eligibility for the category.

It was my intention to share the details of a recent watermelon seed spitting gala. but I misplaced the clipping. It’s just as well. Filling a column with mate- rial like this is sticky busi- ness. at best.

9 9 “If It Fitz... e . F -$ Signature shock

By Jim Fitzgerald 4 I

. . I Recently, a teller a t Na- :tional Bank of Detroit’s : *(lowntown headquarters re- ~ :jetted my signature on the ’ 1 back of my paycheck. ::. “I can’t read that,’’ she

“$aid. Well. There is no denying

my signature is scrawlish. *-But it is mine. That’s the ’ “Way I write my name. ; “Please write it again so - ‘that I can read it,” the teller ::said. Shewasniceabout it.

’ But if I write my name so it can be easily read, it won’t be my signature, It won’t match the signature

I card I signed when I began I ‘banking at NBD 11 years

ago. Forgery will be SUS- * . pected.

The teller smiled. “Please, what you’ve writ- ten could be anything. I have to be able to read it. ”

This was something new. I’ve been signing checks, front and back, for 45 years, and this was my signature’s first rebuff. It was a shock. +Had my handwriting de- teriorated that much in the mere week since the same bank accepted my signa- ture without question?

I sign “James E. FitzgeraId” and the 3 capi-

. ;tal letters appear easily de- cipherable to me. (The “E”

, *stands for Edmund, which + .gives you some idea how

close I came to sinking in ..Lake Superior.) And the

lowercase letters, espe- cially the “t” and ‘$2,’’ are fairly clear. I’ve seen many signatures morc unrcada- ble than mine. I know a wealthy lawyer whose sig- nature is a straight line with a curl on the end. 1’11 bet NBD doesn’t reject his signature; he’d sue their socks off.

I wanted to show the tel- ler how to read my signa- ture, guiding her through it letter by letter. I wanted to ask if I were a victim of a new bank policy, or was she simply more particular than the hundreds of tellers who accepted my signature in the past.

But there was a line of people waiting behind me. In a bank, there is always a line waiting. This is be- cause every bank puts its most competent viue-presi- dent in charge of closing another teller window whenever it appears that a line is in danger of disap- pearing.

(The second most compc- tent vic.e-president is in charge of making certain that tellers always quit waiting on customcrs in favor of waiting on fellow employes who approach tellers from the rear to get change for the candy machine. 1

I’m afraid to dally at the head of a bank line because

Kurt J . Fromm, 22, Caro, pleaded guilty to probation friolation Friday. Sentenc- ing will be set.

He was serving a 2 year probation sentence for at- tempted forgery in Cass City March 8, 1985. He fled the state Jan. 21.

David J. Diener, 25, Vas-

*-.

sar, was sentenced Friday on a probation violation conviction.

He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to one year in the county jail with credit for time served, and work release was granted.

Diener was serving a 3 year probation sentence for delivery of LSD Dtc. 16, 1983. He was arrcsted March 2 for possession of a shotgun and buckshot and taking a deer during closed season.

someone behind might do to me what I always want to do to the person in front of me when he or she doesn’t begin making out a deposit slip until reaching the teller, God help us all.

So I meekly endorsed my check a second time, writ- ing slowly and roundly, as in third grade penmanship class, Palmer method, in 1934. The teller agreed to accept my deposit, and I bravely left without genu- flecting.

That evening I took my Social Security card out of my wallet. It is my original card, the one I signed in 1940, at age 14, when I got my first real job. Immod- estly, I’m proud that I’ve carried that card in my poc- ket every day for over 47 years without losing it. I have a son who loses his car keys twice every month.

I have to admit my 1987 signature looks absolutely nothing like my 1940 signa- ture. It is easy to read every letter written that long-ago summer when 1 was a soda jerk in the drugstore across the street from my home. By comparison, today’s sig- nature is a senseless scrib- ble.

What happened to that boy with the perfect pen- manship? I became a news- paper reporter and learned to take shorthand notes only I can read - one legi- ble word brings clarity to 3 pages of weird markings. For communicating the written word to others, there is always the keyboard.

It’s no wonder my signa- ture became sloppy. I’m re- ally sorry, but it’s the only one I have, and the NBD vice-president in charge of maintaining long lines should realize anything else is forgery.

THE REV. CHUCK RICHARDSON, his wife Diane and the couple’s 3 children say they’re looking forward to the challenge of a new ministry in the Tawas area. Richardson has served as youth pastor at the First Baptist Church in Cass City.

Kingston appeals board to hear variance request

A Wilmot man’s request for a zoning variance to build a storage shed will be decided by the Kingston Board of Appeals at a meet- ing slated to begin at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Township Hall in Wilmot.

Simon G. Pollurn, 1793 Nettleton Drive, is request- ing a 12-foot variance to build the structure, accord- ing to Zoning Adminis- trator Robert Sims.

Under the zoning ordi- nance, a 15-foot setback is required for such buildings, while Pollum’s proposed building would have a set- back of 3 feet, Sims said.

Jimmy Stewart is a per- fect I,t. Col. Oliver North (or vice versa). Whatever way it comes down, the ad- ministration couldn’t have a better representative be- fore the nation and inciden- tally before the congres- sional investigating com- mit tee.

Let’s grant for a minute that North was and is a pat- riot. Admit, too, that the battle between the Democ- rats and Republicans for a toehold in the coming elec- tions appears to be of grea- ter interest than getting to the bottom of a sticky at best and criminal a t worst situation.

North can wrap himself in the flag and repeat that he did what he wds told as a marine and feels today as he did then that his actions were in the best interest of

After spending a year gathering dust in a barn at Roger Marshall’s, the Cass City Rotary Club’s giant Statue of Liberty replica has become a well traveled lady.

It sauntered over to the driveway at the home of Tom Prwtor on North Seeger and from there mysteriously wound up in front of Little’s Funeral Home.

From there (hopefully) it will be given a decent burial. +**+****

the country, He comes ac- ross sincere. You’d be com- fortable if he took out your sister.

Although North is a proven liar, most of the country feels that at least this much of his testimony is true. A sizable minority (hopefully it is a minority) believe that he is a super patriot and the money is pouring in for his defense.

Forgotten in the drama- tics is the basic fact that North has admitted to con- spiring to set up a covert agency in the United States that would be answerable to no one and completely ignore the laws under which this country has flourished.

That’s a greater threat and more serious crime, in my opinion, than the Water- gate scandal that unseated Nixon and sent members of the committee to jail.

I don’t know why it is, but it appears in most any or- ganization or level of gov- ernment, the tendency to feel that they have all the answers and that they re- ally don’t have to answer to the membership which they represent. It’s too true that power corrupts and abso- lute power corrupts abso- lutely,

If you could prove that the administration’s posi- tion in Central America is absolutely right and to take any other course is one loaded with peril, North’s action would still be wrong.

And in the long run more dangerous to United States citizens than any supposed threat to us from Russia or any other foreign power.

If the perpetrators of this circumvention of the laws of the land get by with this, we have an open invitation for the executive branch to take over more of the power of the country and to forget about the constitution that helped make us great.

Sure, you’re thinking that really that can’t happen here. That’s the same feel- ing that ran across Ger- many in pre-Hitler days when the country was oper- ated as a republic and Hi- tler was merely another minority fanatic.

And that’s no lie.

Mary Wald

Veteran quilter-still going strong at 91 It takes nimble fingers, a

sharp eye and a certain flair for design to create what today is considered by many to be not only useful, but also a special bedroom showpiece--the quilt.

Area resident Mary Wald is an expert of sorts on quilts. At 91, she’s a veteran of the art. And she says she has no plans to slow down.

Wald, who remembers well a time when household items were things you either made or did without, actively pursues her in- terest in sewing both at home and as a member of the Elmwood Quilting Cir- cle.

The area native, as well as some of her fellow quil- ters, took time to talk dur- ing a gathering of the quilt- ing circle recently.

“It’s something to do- you might better do that

than sit and twiddle your thumbs, ” Wald remarked.

“I could sew ever since I can remember. I could al- ways sew, it seems,” she continued. Wald recalled that she learned how to sew as a young girl a t her pa- rents’ farm east of Gagetown, where she was born.

Back then, she explained, “You didn’t go out and buy a blanket; if you didn’t makeit, youdidn’t have it.” Wald grinned, adding, “If kids today had to do every- thing that we had to do then, they wouldn’t know how to get along, would they?“

Wald, the daughter of the late Theresa and George Wald, lives with her sister- in-law, Alma Wald, and nephew, George Wald, a t 4200 Dale Rd. She never married, she said, adding, “Maybe that’s why I’ve

lived so long.”

ELMWOOD QUILTERS

Despite her years, Wald’s skills as a quilter equal those of her younger Elmwood quilters.

“As far as doing it (quilt- ing), I can do it as well now as I ever could,” she com- men ted ,

Wald got no argument from Irene Tracy, a second

generation Elmwood Quilt- ing Circle member and host of a recent group meet- ing.

“That’s for sure, (Mary’s) one of our best quil ters, ’ ’ she said.

Tracy pointed out the Elmwood Quilting Circle’s long history, which dates back at least 75 years.

“It started out as a ladies aid to a Baptist church cal- led Frog Island. I couldn’t

tell you how long ago,” she said, adding that the church was located about 1 1/2 miles west of Cedar Run Road on Dale Road.

At first, the ladies aid did a lot of sewing for the Red Cross and Salvation Army, Tracy remarked. “When the church closed, they kept the ladies aid going, and it eventually evolved into quilting. Now, that’s about all we do.”

AT 91, AREA QUILTER Mary Wald has probably worked on enough quilts to warm the entire population of Cass City. When not working on projects at home, she’s quilting up a storm with the Elmwood Quilting Circle, which will display its best work at a quilt show set for today, Thursday and Friday at the Cultural Center.

Connie DeVall

Connie L. DeVall re- ceived a bachelor of music degree with a major in music therapy.

Originally from Kalamazoo, DeVall, 32, re- cently completed a 6-month music therapy internship at Highland Pines School in Caro. She is now looking for a full-time position in her field.

DeVall lives with her daughter, Jennifer, 6, at 4580 State St.

4th annual softball tourney set

The Fourth Annual Tus- cola County Big Brothers/ Big Sisters Slow-Pitch Softball Tournament will be held the weekend of July 31 at the Reese Community Softball fields.

The tournament is Class C and below with double elimination format, with a men’s and women’s brac- ket. Trophies and indi- vidual T-shirts will be given to the top finishers.

Concessions will be avail- able at the field. Additional information is available by contacting Vic Fritz (673- 5449) or Big BrotherslSig Sisters (673-6996).

The group now quilts for people on request, and do- nates proceeds from the projects to a variety of charities and community service groups. Among past recipients are the Cass City Zonta Club, Elkland Township Fire Department and Provincial House.

According to Marion Gray, a member of the cir- cle for some 50 years, the group usually meets on the third Wednesday of each month, but recently the number of meetings has in- creased because of an up- coming quilt show to-‘be held in conjunction with Cass City’s Sidewalk Sale Days. The ladies expect to display some 80 quilts dur-

ing the event slated for this week.

On the a”verage, the quilt- ing circle completes 10 to 12 quilts per year, with each quilt being worked on dur- ing 2 to 3 all-day sessions, Gray, a third generation Elmwood quilter, added.

OTHER PROJECTS

Qui1 t ing ‘ ‘friends hip -quilts” is a major project now underway, according to the group, which explained that each of the circle’s 18 members is creating a personally signed quilt block for each of the other members, When the project is com- pleted, each member will

have a quilt composed of squares created by her fel- low quilters.

The project means plenty of work for the ladies, who seem to enjoy getting to- gether to visit as much as working on quilts.

But for many of the circle members, there’s still enough time for other pr jects.

“I make quilts at home all the time; I’ve got one started now,” Wald, who’s been with the Elmwood Quilting Circle for about 30 years, remarked. I

Asked if she has plans to take it easy in the near fu- ture, she replied, “That will all depend on the Lord, I guess.”

Owen-Gage school boarc drops Belk parcel battle

IN OTHER BUSINESS

In other business during the 2-hour regular meeting, the board approved rent payments of $200 per month for a district-owned house in Gagetown.

The tenant of the house is some $1,400 behind in rent payments (normally $150 per month), but Brinkman said that the tenant has ag- reed to make regular pay- ments prior to each board meeting.

A letter of consent allow- ing resident high school senior Marilla Milbocker to attend Dryden Schools was approved. Kirby noted that if the Owen-Gage district were in-formula, the re- * quest would be denied un- less the other school district agreed to reimburse Owen- Gage for lost state aid.

A request by some area residents to paint a cafeteria at the high school was also approved.

Dean Smith, an elder in the Shabbona RLDS Church and now a car- penter and construction worker, had said prior to the weekend concerts that he had hopes of organizing similar concerts in the fu- ture and possibly trying to bring Willie Nelson to Michigan.

But those plans are on hold for now, according to Yvonne, who maintained that despite the recent fai- lure, the family’s booking agency will stay in busi- ness.

the board’s representative to the Huron Intermediate School District’s Board of Directors for one year. Brinkman agreed to serve as an alternate.

REELECTED

Each of the board’s offic- ers was reelected during a brief organizational meet- ing held prior to the regular session.

Board members and their offices are Ron Good, president; Joseph Warack,

vice-president; Brinkmar,, treasurer; Pat Goslin, ;is- sistant treasurer; Mary Abbe, secretary; William Kretzschmer, assistant secretary, and Donald Cummins, liaison officer.

The board voted to con- tinue alternating its meet- ing sites between Owendale and Gagetown, but ad- justed meeting times. Board sessions will begin at 7 p.m. November through March, and ,at p.m. in each of the remain- ing months.

purchased a home on Severance road which is in the Deford School District. In a letter to the board they said that they had been as- sured by the salesman, Marvin Hobart, that their daughter could stay at Campbell.

Trustee Ben Hobart said that Marvin Hobart had contacted him and he had checked with the superin- tendent. At that time the superintendent polled some of the board and it was the consensus that the girl be allowed to stay ‘at Campbell. However, no of- ficial action was recorded in the minutes. At that time, however, the transfer of students out of the district where the parents live was not the problem that it has become in the last year.

The board voted unanim- ously to approve the re- quest with the notation that it is for the McKnight girl only and not for any other family that might become owners of the property.

OTHER BUSINESS

Jim Turner, newly elected board member, will attend a meeting of school board members at Shanty Creek on a Friday and Saturday at a cost of $87 plus transportation to the northern Michigan resort and incidental expenses. Other members are unde- cided about attending.

A committee of ~col lon, Wallace and Beverley Auten was appointed to open bids for a new sidewalk on the west side of Cemetery Road between the Intermediate School and the high school. They are authorized to award the contract to the low bidder.

A proposed change in pol- icy concerning teach aides that included a sli& increase in wages was ta- bled until the next meeting when the exact proposal can be presented. ~ ’

If ants would only stay outdoors, most people would probably find them a lot easier to tolerate. Ants that come indoors in search of food or nesting sites rarely find the welcome mat out.

Gary Dunn, Extension entomologist at Michigan State University, says most ants that come into the house become kitchen pests. Whether they nest in the house or simply trek in and out, their main interest is food.

The exception is the car- penter ant. These large (1/4 to inch), black ants ex- cavate wood and other soft materials, such as ex- panded plastic insulation, for their nest. They usually start their excavation in moist wood. Once estab- lished, the ant colony gen- erates enough moisture to keep itself going.

Carpenter ants often come into the house in firep- lace wood. They may also wander in from outdoors.

The most effective way to control an ant invasion is to find and treat the nest, Dunn says. If ants are nest- ing indoors, this may be easier said than done. You may be able to trace the ants to the back of a door- frame or electrical outlet, but the nest may be some distance away in the frame of the house.

If that's the case, spray or dust as close as possible to the place where you think the nest is. Put insecticide into cracks or openings and on surfaces the. insects use or crawl over to enter a room. These insecticides kill the ants on contact be- fore they can crawl on coun- tertops or tables and get into food. Any that turn up after you've sprayed or dusted probably entered over surfaces that you mis- Sed.

Another approach if you can't treat the nest directly is to use poisoned bait that the ants carry to the nest themselves. To use these successfully, you must place them where the ants are foraging and sure to find them, and you must select a bait the ants will find desirable. Ants that prefer greasy foods will not throng to a sugar-based bait, and vice versa. If you do find a bait they like, they will carry some of it back

C omple te China tour with Lions Band to walk in, and there were community bathrooms,” Reehl said.

“After everyone got done with their shower in the morning, there’d be 5 in- ches of water on the floor,” she added.

After Taiwan, they spent 4 days in Hawaii relaxing before coming back to De- troit Metro Airport July 7.

“It was nice in Hawaii because we didn’t have to keep going to the bank to switch currency. A dollar

was a dollar and beside: people in America watcl for pedestrians.

“In Hong Kong they drivl like maniacs. They’ll jus run over pedestrians,” En derle said.

“When we got to Hawai we’d stop at a sidewalk an( the cars would stop and us through while we stolx there for fear we’d be rur over. After a while we, saM other people going so we decided it was safe,” Rezhl said.

man were inhumane. They had open sewers and in the best restaurant in town everyone was taking their camera in the bathroom and taking pictures, ” Reehl said,

“There was this concrete slab and pieces of wood to put your feet in and a little hole in the concrete,” she remarked. ’

“They did get it to flush,

but 1 don’t know how,” En- derle said.

“The employees were chuckling at us taking pic- tures of their bathroom. They were probably say- ing, ‘those silly Ameri- cans, ’ ’ ’ she remarked e

Enderle, Reehl and the rest of the band were never told what they were eating but it was probably just as well, they said.

“They told us the vegeta- bles were fertilized with human sewage and the water was contaminated, so we didn’t eat many veg- etables and we drank a lot of distilled water,” Enderle pointed out.

“It was the first time I’ve ever had to pay for water,” Reehl added.

They didn’t get much of a chance to speak to people

their own age, but the chances they did have- proved to be very entertain- ing.

“After marching in a parade in Taiwan, we were exchanging pins from Lions from around the world. I ran out of pins so I started giving out American cur- rency. Everyone really got excited about that, by the time I was done I was ban- krupt as far as change went,” Reehl remembered.

“There was one girl I re- member giving an Ameri- can quarter to as a gift and she came back and gave me a piece of her currency. I told her she didn’t have to do that but she said it was a gift,” she added.

“Then at McDonald’s this man came up to us and started telling us about the history of China, how the kids go to school all year around with 4 weeks off dur- ing the year,” Enderle said.

“He also told us that the Chinese government will only let them have one child and if they have more and are found out, they get fired from their jobs,” she said.

“We asked him what would happen if you had a child without getting mar- ried and he said that never happens in China. We laughed because it happens every day in America,” Reehl said.

“He said if it ever did happen they would be consi- dered an outcast,” she noted.

The group did experience some homesickness when they arrived in Taiwan, they said.

“We were used to plush hotels and this place was more like a dorm. There were 4 people per room and there was just enough room

Some 3 days after return- ing from a %week trip to China and Hawaii, 2 recent Owen-Gage graduates have found that some people aren’t asking what it was like to be in a foreign coun- try.

Some people, however, want to know what Hawaii is like.

“When I tell people I went to China and Hawaii, they don’t ask about the foreign country, they say, ‘Hawaii? Really? Wow ...,”’ said Kendra Reehl, 18, of State Street, Gagetown.

Reehl, a piccolo player and Cindy Enderle, 18, of McAlphin Rd., Owendale, a baritone player, were selected to tour with the es- timated 200-member Michi- gan Lions All-State Band in China June 22-July 7. Both young women traveled with the Band in 1986 to New Or- leans and auditioned again this year.

“Both my sisters Marcy and Julie were in (the band) and had a good time, and we both had a lot of friends encouraging us to try out for it,” Enderle said.

performance at Zhongshan University in Guangzhou, Enderle noted.

“The director met with the president and he told us he was really formal before the concert. During the con- cert we played some songs like ‘Boogie-woogie Bugle Boy of Company B’ and the, kids started boogieing. When the director talked to him (the president) a t the end of the concert, he seemed to be a lot looser,” she said.

Most of the pieces played during the performances featured a specific section of the band, such as the trombone or percussion section. The style of songs played depended on the au- dience, they said.

“At a commune in Canton we played the fun songs for the children. They were re- ally adorable kids,” Reehl remembered.

“Yeah, I wanted to take one home,” Enderle added.

4 SIGN OF THE EIGHTIES by Gail Parent (fiction), Shelley Silver is a successful carwr woman who has set her sights on the one thing she thinks her life lacks - a husband. The object of her pursuit is Mickey Burke, a divorced sitcom writer who has no desire to test the matrimonial waters again. Shelley plots her strategies with the care of an army general planning an invasion, but to no avail - Mickey remains firmly, happily unmarried. Into their lives comes Astra Rainbow Blakely, Mickey’s new secretary, a love child born in the late ’60s who wants nothing more than to be like everybody else. Astra Rainbow is a walking textbook of proper office practices, but as Mickey and Shelley get to know the young woman, they discover there is more to her than meets the eye.

Also listed among area graduates are Pam Mer- chant, Cass City; Rita Sharrad, Deford ; Karen Koch and Ladonna Wise, both of Gagetown; and Anna Kietzke of Kingston. Real Estate For Sale ~ 1 )

-+ Real Estate Your neighbor says MISERY by Stephen King (fiction). Paul Sheldon, a writer of historical romances, is in a car accident; rescued by nurse Annie Wilkes, he slowly realizes that salvation can be worse than death. Sheldon has killed off Misery Chastain, the popular protagonist of his Misery series and Annie, who has a murderous past, wants her back. Keeping the paralyzed Sheldon prisoner, she forces him to revive the character in a continuation of the series, and she reads each page as it come out of the typewriter; there is a joyously Dickensian novel within a novel here, and it appears in faded typescript. Sheldon is a revealingly autobiographical figure; Annie is not merely a monster but is subtly and often touchingly portrayed, allowing hostage and keeper a believable, if twisted, rela tionship.

Ena Norene Partridge Has mixed emotions on

Mrs. Norene Partridge, 80, of Cass City died Wed- nesday, July 8, a t Lapeer General Hospital after a lengthy illness.

She was born Nov. 28, 1906, in Woodstock, Ont., the daughter of Leslie and Muriela (Brown) Goodall.

Miss Goodall was united in marriage to Ralph Par- tridge June 18, 1929, in Woodstock. Following their marriage, they made their home in Clio, coming to Cass City in 1932. Her hus- band died April 10, 1956.

She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Cass City and a past pres- ident of the Cass City AARP.

Mrs. Partridge is sur- vived by two sons, Donald

the IranXontra hearings The lead story in most

television broadcasts state and nation-wide this past week has been the Iran- Contra congressional com- mittee hearings, more specifically, the testimony of Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North.

North started giving his testimony to a congres- sional committee Tuesday and although he was sup- posed to be finished Friday, he was still answering ques- tions Monday.

He has admitted to mak- ing mistakes when the oper- ation the National Security Coupcil was conducting, without the Senate’s know- ledge or consent, was ex- posed.

While his face may be on television screens any- where from 5-7 hours a day and his picture in most major newspapers in the country, there are people who don’t follow the hear- ings.

Your neighbor, Connie Keehn, says while she re- ally doesn’t listen and watch the hearings, she has seen what he says in televi- sion broadcasts.

“I haven’t really kept a close watch. I’ve got mixed emotions about the whole thing,” she said.

“I think Oliver North is telling the truth, or what he thinks is the truth, but I don’t know. A lot of them do nothing but lie,” she re-

Coming Auction

marked. She said she also thinks

President Reagan’s reputa- tion has been damaged.

“He claims he didn’t know anything about it. That’s a little hard to be- lieve, or want to believe,” she noted.

Keehn lives with her hus- band Robert and daughter Renee, 11, at 6643 Shabbona Rd., Deford.

RAISING PG KIDS IN AN X-RATED SOCIETY by Tipper Gore (non-fiction).-You’ve seen her in the pages of Time, Newsweek, People and The New York Times. In living rwms coast to coast through appearances on Donahue, Entertainment Tsnight, MacNeil-Lehrer, Today and more. Everywhere, Tipper Gore has stood up for today’s kids and their parents - conscientious parents who are trying to raise emotionally healthy children in a world full of explicit song lyrics, videos, ads, movies, and TV. Tipper shows parents how to fight back; how to protect children from the cynical excesses of explicit media that can contribute to a climate of teen promiscuity, violence, suicide, and drug and alcohol abuse. Mrs. Gore is the co- founder of the Parents Music Resource Center in Washington, D.C., and the wife of US. Senator Albert Gore Jr. of Tennessee.

home tour

set July 25-26 The Bad Axe Historical

Society is planning a His- torical Home tour for the weekend of July 25 as a one- time project in honor of Michigan's 150th birthday.

Eleven Bad Axe area families have agreed to show their homes to the public Saturday and Sun- day between 12 : 30-5 : 30 p.m. Historical Society members in costumes rep- resentative of the period will act as guides.

The homes on the Satur- day tour are the farmhouse of the Robert Bennetts (Nugent farm) on Wadsworth Rd. ; the Hearsch home (Dundas) on West Huron; the Feren home (Cross) on East Huron; the Allen home on North Port Crescent, and the Dr. Straight home (Nu- gent) on West Hopson.

The Sunday tour includes the Umphrey home (Wat- son) on West Huroq; the Clark Herrington home (Whitney) on North Port Crescent ; the Copeland home (Maywood) on W. Woodworth; the Peters home (Stevens) on North Hanselman, and the Meyers home (Wakefield) on Pinnebog Road.

As an added bonus, the Weitenberner Funeral Home (Sleeper Mansion) on West Huron may be toured both days if it is not in use for business pur- poses.

The homes may be toured in any order and advance tickets may be purchased in designated businesses in most Huron County towns and Cass City and Caro.
