Generally speakng, a change n gran supply of ten percent affects prces to the tune of about thrty percent, so ts easy to see why farmers have been anxous about the deal. It fs not lkely the sales wll come anywhere near those of 972 so no one expects really hgh prces or hgher grocery prces to result from t, but the ncrease wll partally offset hgher producton costs and gve farmers a somewhere near reasonable wage for ther labor. Its unusual for all crops to look good at the same tme, but wth the excepton of a need for a good ran over much of the county, thngs are lookng pretty good. DeWtt Councl flls 2 jobs DEWITT - The DeWtt Cty Councl named a new cty clerk and buldng nspector Monday nght durng a specal meetng. Apponted the clerks Doston was Sharon Perce, who replaced Dorothy Keck who declned the appontment by the Councl on a temporary bass. The nterm poston comes up for permanent appontment n September. Named to be buldng nspector was Robert Ballard. Ballard, afflated wth Ballard Home Center jn DeWtt, told the councl he s retrng from the busness and wll dvest hmself of hs fnancal nterest n the busness. * He replaces Gary Newcombe, who also rejected re-appontment to the poston. Once agan, tempers arose among Councl members as Gerald Krchen complaned that Orla McGure, cty engneer, and Mayor *Murl Eastman spoke on behalf of the sewer system concernng who they would support n the debate between DeWtt Twp. and the County Department of Publc Works concernng the South Cjnton Area Sewer System, McGure and Eastman sad they were nvted to meet wth Roger Overway, county commssoner, to dscuss the stuaton and were not aware that Krchen, charman of the cty sewer commttee was not nvted. McGure stated that he stated, at the meetng he felt the cty would cooperate wth any unt on the sewer queston that would best sut the needs of the cty., Krchen sad he nterpreted the results of the meetng as a support of the County DPW. supervsor for about" 3 years before acceptng the poston of assessor n Petoskey about year ago. Pror to becomng townshp supervsor, VanSckle owned and operated a grocery store n Bath". "Guestmates" from the County Extenson Offce for crop acreage are that corn s holdng stable or down a lttle compared to last year wth about 70,000 acres; soybeans acreage s up maybe 35,000 acres; wheat acreage s about the same or a lttle less than soybeans; hay acreage s somewhere around 33,000 acres; and dry beans are down a lttle to perhaps,000 acres. Oats, barley and sugar beet acreage are pretty small compared to the crops mentoned, and are all down a lttle, About eght percent of the wheat n the county has been harvested. Yelds are not - record breakers, but reports of forty to ffty bushels are pretty common. Qualty has been very good and the harvest s at least a week ahead of schedule weather-wse. Frut set s generally good n county apple orchards. Weather condtons have made a good job of sprayng extra mportant ths year but most growers have nsects and dseases well under control. Shape of the Delcous varety may not be the best but the overall qualty s there. Clnton County s noted for beng the states top producer of spearmnt ol, but there s a lmted market for t and, consequently, t s produced by only about twenty growers. Last week growers fred up ther stlls, and t looks lke the hardest s off to a good start. Thrty to thrty-fve pounds of mnt ol are consdered a good yeld and t s currently sellng at a reasonable prce of about $9 a pound. As the harvest contnues farmers arent gettng rch but are farly happy; they know ther busness well enough to recognze the hazards of fannng, and wont spend the money untl the crop s harvested and at least part of t s sold Ball says lds are rollng-at least to dstrbutors durng every moment of tme avalable, he sad. The surge n home cannng, whch be^jan n 973, rose sharply n 974 and reached even hgher levels n the frst half of 975. Most of hfs demand has been fueled by nflaton and the overwhelmng respojse of mllons of Amercan famles to suggestons that they plant new gardens to help releve nflatonary pressures on- ther Income. "Ths s a reflecton of the mmense demand generated by the Amercan economy as people respond to a recognzed need," Fsher sad. The U.S. Department of Agrculture August -7 estmates there were 20 mllon home gardens n 973. Ths rose to 26 mllon n 974 and then jumped to 32.5 mllon n 975. Ball Corporaton, n the home cannng busness snce 884, longer than any other company n the world, sad ts producton statstcs ndcated that durng tmes of economc stress, such as wars, depressons, nflatonand recessons, Amercans have tradtonally turned to home cannng as a means of easng part of the cost-of-lvng problem. settled on Commr. Vrgna Zeebs suggeston that they back B 3e, a westerly * route whch would hook up wth the exstng U.S. 27 algnment north of Coloney Road to x Ithaca. j Votng n^favor of the proposal were: Zeeb, Max Calder, Roger Overway, Elane Brockmyre, Maurce Gove, and Walter Nobs. Votng aganst ts acceptance were: Charles Gutzk, Dyle Hennng, Duane Cham}erlan, v Harold Martn and Leroy Vncent. Pror to any votng, the Board heard from Sam Burns, chef planner for the Tr-County Regonal Plannng Commsson, who nformed the Board Tr-County approved B 3e and C 3e and that the Captol Area Regonal Transportaton Study splt 9 to 9, on endorsng the B and C corrdors. Then, County Planner Denns Dunngan lsted, for the Board, the Plannng Commssons reasons for optng for B 3 and B 2. Accordng to Dunngan, the Board chose those 2 routes because they were n conformance wth the Countys 970 land use study, they promoted ndustral development n Watertown Townshp and would connect wth -96 and would accommodate traffc from Captol Cty arport. However, not enough support was mustered among Board members for those routes and then, they decded by a 6 to 5 margn to go on record as favorng the "no buld" approach, because, as Commr, Zeeb sad, the majorty of the 600 people who showed up at the July 2 Smth & Assocates publc hearng, seemed to want that approach.. t In the afternoon sesson, Commr. Zeeb asked the Board to reconsder the "no buld" and when that went down by another 6, to 5 margn, she suggested, the more successful B 3e. Though the Board appeared to seesaw from route to another, Zeeb admonshed everyone"not to nterpret ths as beng ndecsve. "Ths s a very mportant decson to the County and ths doesnt mean were ndecsve," she sad. "We all have mxed feelngs and we are tryng to vote-our conscence and the wshes of our consttuents." Commr. Hennng, charman of the Board, took the opposte vew and thought the Boards actons reflected unfavorably on them. "Im really embarrassed by the way ths thng has been kcked around," he sad. Commr. Gove, expressng the^omplexry of the stuaton, sad he had heard so many dvergent vewponts from people n hs dstrct (precncts 2 and 3 n St. Johns and BnghamTownshp) and decdedhe couldnt tell how the majorty felt and wanted t to be known he would vote hs conscence, not the vared feelngs of hs consttuents. The queston of what hghway route to pck s now n the hands of Wlbur Smth & Assocates, though the publc record stays open untl Aug. 6. After that tme, how strongly they wll consder the vews of the publc or the postons taken by the local governng bodes s, anybodys guess. After they make ther recommendaton, the Mchgan Dept. of State Hghways and Transportaton wlt, at a publc meetng on Aug. 27 n Lansng, announce ther decson on whether or not and where the new U.S. 27 wll be bult. In other acton the Board: dscussed, at length, the DeWtt - Bath Townshp sewer pact. supported alternatve of the Captol Cty Arport Expanson plan n Clnton County. fnalzed the creaton of 53 Comprehensve Employment Tranng Act Jobs for County resdents, ncludng 0 new postons, Federal government offcals estmate that.6 bllon replacement caps and ldsj wll be produced by the ndustry n 975. Ball Corporaton beleves ths to be a (Sea Page 8) County due recreaton money, but the queston s when? Clnton County s supposed to be gettng $2,757 from the U.S. Communty Servces Admnstraton to help run Its summer youth recreaton programs, but nobody really knows when. The money whch wll come through the Tr-County Regbral Manpower Admnstraton, was orgnally scheduled to be handed over to the Cooperatve Extenson Servce who, handled the Summer recreaton programs last year. However, the Manpower Admnstraton decded they wanted to gve the moneydrectly to local recreaton programs and PQE OttMXl asked the Extenson Servce to take applcatons from those groups though, they wouldnt be processng the money. The Extenson Servce sad no to that and the dsbursement of the funds was assgned to Gerald assstant to Ambrose, admnstratve the County Board of Com- mssoners. Though the bounty stll hasnt gotten the money, the board at ther July 22 meetng, OKd the funds, when they break through SHOWTIMES: Frday Saturday - Sunday 2 Shows Ntaly 7 8t 9 p.m. Mon. - TUBS.

5 July 30,975 Clnton County Home Economsf The home freezers - we love em. Durng the last two or three years, wthfood prces ncreasng, people have been buyng freezers lke never before. Ths summer wll probably be no excepton, as many of Us, from lack of lds for cannng, turn even more to freezng foods. Wtofte faqem Those freezers dont save us as much money as many of us would lke to beleve, but they are a great convenence. We learn, to depend on them to help out n < emergences - lke when unexpected company comes to vst near meal tme. But have you even thought about what you would do f your freezer had ts own emergency? Freezers do stop runnng. The electrcty may go off, or there mght be a mechancal problem wth the freezer tself. Then, what would you do? Losng a whole freezer full of food would be a costly stuaton for anyone these days. To help you be prepared to deal wth such an emergency, the USDA has developed some gudelnes to follow f the Its our bag. Its everybodys bag. Wed lke to tell the world that theres no one lke the Amercan farmer. Youve been helpng us spread the word that "Farmng s everybodys bread and butter" wth those popular bumper stckers wentroduced a tew months back. Your PCA now has a handy shoppng bag that wll help you carry the hessagetwherever you go. COjne n jnd ask tor your bag. FREE at your PCA Charles Bracey, Branch Mgr. PRODUCTION CREDIT ASSOCIATION m 04 S. US-27 St. Johns Phone * Ch/oe Padght freezer stops. In usng these gudelnes, you stand a good chance of keepng your food. Keep the freezer closed. Open t only to take food out that you need to use or move, or to add dry ce. Try to determne how * long the current wll be off or freezer stopped, and how long the food wll keep. The length of tme food wll stay frozen depends on: t, -The amount of food n the freezer. A full freezer wll stay cold many hours longer than a freezer only a quarter full. -The knd of food. A freezer full of meat wll not warm up as fast as a freezer of baked food. -The temperature of the food. The colder the food, the longer t wll stay frozen. -The freezer tself. A wellnsulated freezer wll keep food frozen much longer than one wth lttle nsulaton. -Sze of the freezer. The larger the freezer, the longer the food wll stay frozen. Your best alternatve s to take food to a locker plant. Your next best alternatve s to add "dry ce" to the freezer to try to retan the cold. The more dry ce you use, the longer your food Wll reman frozen. Invest some tme on the telephone, when you have no emergency, to fnd out where you can buy dry ce n case you should need t later. If all else fals, and you have cannng lds avalable, then you could cook the food n ways your famly lkes t and preserve t accordng to proper cannng" technques. Snce most of us Would not have the lds avalable ths year, wed probably end up havng a bg party for all our frends, Of course, you should check your freezer regularly to see f t s workng properly/ The qucker you dscover the problem, the more lkely you wll be able to save the food. Sometmes frozen foods are completely or partally thawed before you dscover that the freezer s not runnng. The USDA says you may safely refreeze foods that have partally thawed f they contan ce crystals or f they are qute cold - afbut 40 degrees F. - provded they have been held at ths temperature no longer than or 2 days. But remember, use refrozen foods as soon as possble after the emergency. Dont plan on keepng them for several months. Always examne food before you decde what to do wth t, especally meat and poultry. Get rd of any food f the color or odor of the thawed food s questonable. It snt worth the possble consequences. Our thanks to Sharon Van- Dyne for ths nformaton. CLINTON COUNTY NEWS, ST.

The potash mnes and plant are located 45 mles southeast of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan n the heart of Canadas wheat country. A structure called a hutch, comprsng 24 square feet, wll satsfactorly rase calves at a lower cost than standard heated or cold enclosed housng. "Hutches may be used by small herd darymen who want to mantan low captal nvestment. Large herds may use them jo vacate ther enclosed housng f a dsease problem occurs," says Dr. Wllam G. Bckert, Mchgan State Unversty agrcultural. engneer. Hutch sze s usually four feet by eght feet plus an optonal outsde exercse area that may be enclosed by wood fencng or woven wre. Hutches have three walls and a roof but no floor, and should be placed on welldraned land. They cost about $50 each to buld as compared to $250 to $400 per stall n a warm enclosed system. Calves He on the ground on straw beddng. The hutches must be sterlzed after each calf and moved to a new area. "Calves stay healthy even n the coldest weather. Durng extremely cold or wet weather, a heat lamp may be used for the frst two days the calf s n the hutch," Bckert says.

A majorty of my colleagues passed House Bll,5250, whch has been promoted as an all-purpose poltcal reform measure, but whch wll actually end up dscouragng many qualfed people from,gettng nvolved n publc affars. In the frst place, the bll was ntroduced, consdered and passed wth Common Cause, the o-cahed ctzens lobby, holdng a gun at the collectve head of the Legslature. If we dd not pass what they wanted, they sad, they would come up wth "hundreds of thousands of sgnatures to put ther law on the ballot. ThSj of course, rases the ssue of legslaton by lobbyst pressure groups -- somethng the bll s supposedly desgned to prevent. We have already had one other sorry example of ths type of legslaton n the House-passed bll to permt,fve-week teacher strkes. -In the second.place, HB 5250 contans lmts not only on campagn spendng, whch are needed, but also lmts on campagn contrbutons. Many people have questoned whether or not these contrbuton lmts, not to menton the spendng lmts, represent an nfrngement on a persons freedom of expresson. Ther there are the dsclosure provsons. I defntely favor reportng all campagn contrbutons, contrbutors and expenses. But ths bll would not requre that - t would exempt reportng all contrbutors who gve $5 orless to a canddate n a. gven electon. Ths s a tremendous loophole. Also, the bll requres a rather complete fnancal dsclosure statement from all canddates and offceholders not only for themselves, but also for members of ther mmedate famly. Sources of ncome, real estate holdngs, fnancal oblgatons and busness assocatons would all have to be lsted. I consder ths to be an nvason of prvacy, partcularly wth respect to other famly members. Youll notce I sad HB 5250 requres dsclosure for all offcals, from governor to county, dty and townshp people to school board members, Ths, n addton to the multplcty of flng requrements, wll undoubtedly, work to dscourage many" qualfed people from runnng for offce at the local level. Lastly, the bll contans a provson for publc fundng of gubernatoral campagns through checkoffs on your ncome tax returns. Each canddate for governor could get up to $750,000 n publc funds. I consder ths to be taxaton wthout representaton; that s, would you want your tax dollars gong to a canddate you dont support? The Senate stll has to revew ths bll, but consderng the pressures that were appled n the House, doubt that t wll be changed very much. What wll be changed, though, when the bll becomes law, s the number of people nvolved Jn publc lfe - - t wll decrease SETS RECORDS The House-passed bll for poltcal reform, HB 5250, was not only one of the longest blls we have consdered ths year -- 7 pages - but also attracted the greatest number of amendments ever consdered on the floor for a bll - over 400! The sesson at whch 5250 was passed was our longest so far ths year, over eleven hours, and went untl almost three a.m. To top t all off, the Captol experenced ts frst bomb scare n over two years durng the fnal afternoon the bll was consdered. (The telephoned bomb threat was not related to thsbll.) t TEACHER STRIKES After months of acton and nacton on the subject, the; House last month passed a blr to allow fve-week teacher strkes, three of those weeks wth no fnancal penaltes for ether sde (except, of course, the chldren). Ths bll was largely the product of lobbysts for teacher unons and school board groups. Now the Senate has had ts chance at the matter and has not done much better. It has reduced the "free" perod from three weeks to two, but other than that, the bll s pretty much as t left the House. Governor Mllken has sad he wll veto the bll, H.B. 58, n ts present form. I certanly hope he does. Then we wll be back to the present law, whch says that publc employees have the rght to collectve barganng but not the rght to strke. If judges would only enforce ths law, the educatonal stuaton around the state would be a whole lot better, and our chldren would be assured of a contnung, qualfy educaton wthout nterruptons. BUDGET BILLS Durng last week, the House approved the last of the several appropraton blls for fscal 976 whch orgnated n the House. (Fscal 976 began on July ). We are how consderng the budget blls from s the Senate: n case you arent aware of t, part of the appropratons blls are ntroduced n the House, part n the Senate so both Houses can work on them at the same tme. Ths procedure s supposed to speed up thngs, but t doesnt seem to have helped a whole lot ths year. Were already four weeks nto the new fscal year wth no budget blls sgned nto law yet. Whle most of the blls are a bewlderng array of dollars and cents, there have been some nterestng amendments to, and ponts made about, some of the blls. For example, there were an unusually-large-number of Representatves votng aganst the State Polce Appropratons Bll. Ths was not because they were aganst law enforcement, but becausethe bll contaned a hdden subsdy for the Detrot Polce Department, and because adequate explanatons were not offered for some of the hgh salares provded for n the bll., An amendment to the School Ad Bll to prohbt the use of state funds to buy court-ordered buses dd not pass. Ths was not because a majorty of us are for busng, but because adopton of the amendment would have gven courts a "segregaton-bylaw" tem to pont to, and because local dstrcts and taxpayers would have had to pay for the buses f the state ddnt. t The House adopted an amendment to the Socal Servces Appropratons Bll whch prohbts the use of state funds to pay for abortons. Much of the debate on ths came from two female Representatves from Detrot: one sad the state should not support the murder of unborn chldren; the other sad ths amendment would force the poor to go to "back alley butchers" and that the cost of an aborton s less than supportng a chld on welfare for 8 years. Some of the budget blls have been at or below the level recommended by the Governor. Ths s partly the result of our strngent economc stuaton, but manly the result of our consttutonal requrement that we must have a balanced budget. Increased spendng would mean hgher taxes, and I dont know of anyone who would vote for that. BUILD A BEHLEN GRAIN,SYSTEM NOW DONT PAY UNTIL NOVEMBER 3.

( v U Jy.?. 9?? * Farmng and 4-H n Clnton County j Marketng advce for ths years wheat crop EAST LANSING - Wth ncreased emphass on a marketorented agrculture, producers must devote more thought and tme to marketng ther crops, partcularly cash gran and dry edble beans, accordng to Robert Zeeb, Charman of the Mchgan State Agrcultural Stablzaton and Conservaton Commttee. The July 0 crop report ndcated Mchgans estmated wheat crop at 40 mllon bushels, the largest crop snce 967 when t was 40.7 mllon bushels. The 975 wheat harvest s progressng rapdly n Mchgan, due to the generally good harvestng weather so far. Zeeb ponted out that market prces for 974 cash wheat at central Mchgan ponts ranged from $2.49 n June 975 to $4.64 back n October of 974. Market prce generally has trended down snce the latter part of 974 due to an unstable world market, a smaller export demand than last year, and the effects of an apparent worldwde ncrease n supples. Zeeb noted that the. prce support loan program s stll avalable on wheat. Ths program permts the producer to obtan low cost fnancng at harvest and hold hs crop untl later n the season when the prce s usually more favorable. Of course, there s no guarantee that the longer he holds hs crop, the better the prce wll be. There s such a thng as good marketng judgment n determnng when t s the best tme to sell. Zeeb explaned that the Commodty Credt»Corporatons loan program v has been used by many producers to ther advantage over the years. Zeeb also ponted out that the present nterest rate on 975 wheat loans s 6-/8 percent whch s about the best rate avalable. Producers wth CCC loans are remnded that the 974 com and gran sorghum loans mature on July 3. Wth present market prces, producers have a sgnfcant equty and should take ths opportunty to redeem ther loans. He also emphaszed that producers should be sure to obtan pror wrtten authorzaton to move the gran when t s beng Sold to repay the loan. Authorzaton can be obtaned promptly from the local county ASCS offce upon request by the producer. DHIA herds record hgh average mlk EAST LANSING, Mch. - Mchgan cows on the Dary Herd Improvement Assocaton (DHIA) system averaged,700 pounds more mlk sold per cow than non-dhia herds, accordng to a recent survey.

The 0 year or longer agreement stays wth the land and wll affect subsequent owners wth no penalty f they comply wth ts provsons. The owner pays property taxes as before, but any amount by whch the tax on the farmland under agreement exceeds 7 percent of the owners household ncome becomes -a tax credt appled to the state ncome tax. If the credt s larger than the ncome tax owed, the excess s refunded to the owner by drect payment. If a partnershp owns the land, the property taxes are allocated to each partner n the same proporton as the ownershp n the busness. Each partner apples hs property tax share to hs household ncome and obtans tax credt on hs state ncome tax. On farmland owned by two or more persons not n partnershp, property, taxes are, allocated to the respectve owners nthe same manner as a partnershp. Several methods of taxng ncome of farm corporatons are offered. Snce the regular method taxes corporate ncome to the corporaton, household ncome s not nvolved. In ths case, the bass for computng the tax credt s 7 percent of the corporatons taxable- ncome. Another method lets shareholders of a closely held corporaton choose to have corporate ncome taxed to them. The corporaton becomes a "tax-opton corporaton" or a "subchapter S corporaton." In these cases, property taxes pad by the corporaton are allocated to shareholders n the same proporton as the stock ownershp. Each apples hs property tax share to hs household ncome and obtans the tax credt on hs state ncome tax. Under a tax credt agreement, no structures may be bult on the land except those consstent wth farm operatons or wth the approval of the local governng body or state land use agency. Structures nclude: slos, barns, machne sheds, gran storage and feedlots. Land mprovements are also lmted to those consstent wth farmng or by approval - such as dran tles and dtches, fences, fertlzng, lmng and smlar actvtes. Land may be sold for scenc, access or utlty easements whch do not substantally hnder farm operatons. Applcaton forms can be obtaned from the local townshp board. They nclude maps showng sgnfcant natural features, all structures located on the land and sol classfcaton f known. An approved applcaton s sent to the state land use agency for revew and approval, except n cases where the agency feels the land does not qualfy as farmland. The state tax commsson wll then apprase the land for current market value. Ths, apprasal becomes the bass for the tax assessment n the frst year of the agreement.

Warn darymen about Bangs dsease danger EAST LANSING - The recent outbreaks of Bangs dsease (brucelloss) n Vermont, New York, Pennsylvana and Oho should remnd Mchgan darymen of the need for good calf vaccnaton programs. "Anmals must be vaccnated before seven months of age for protecton. Once nfected, cows wjll always be carrers of the dsease and must be destroyed to prevent transmsson to other herds, says Lous E. Newman, Mchgan State Unversty veternary extenson specalst. Present Mchgan law states that only cows that have had calfhood vaccnatons may be mported. The vaccne, however, called "Stran 9," s only 65 percent effectve. To date 80 herds have been quarantned n 2 northeastern states. The dsease s thought to have orgnated from hefers transported from Canada. Brucelloss s caused by an nfecton and produces abortons n late pregnancy and lower mlk producton. It s called "undulant fever" n man and also affects swne, sheep and horses. Brucelloss s transmtted by eatng contamnated pasture, contact wth nfected anmals or the ^aborted fetuses.

Aug 3, 75 Subjact To Applcable Stata & Local Taxa Except Sunday mornng I Bengal Townshp, s a near - fghtng word that farmers lke Larry Sturgs, Gerald Myers, Lester Mller, Don Irrer, John Schumaker and Mrs. Tony Feldpausch get together to muddle over now and then. If you talk to them, they tell you that the June 24 ran storm, whch they sad, caused only a small flood, destroyed for Sturgs, 60 acres of soybeans > valued at $8,000, whle for Myers t meant the damagng of 6 acres. The others say they are unable to estmate ther losses. The problem, n a nutshell, s that the Stoney Creek dran, whch runs eastward from Muskrat Lake to the Maple and Grand Rvers and eventually to Lake Mchgan, s an old. dran that hasnt been cleaned snce t was bult back n 909 and now, ts clogged wth sand, slt and fallen trees klled, by Dutch Elm dsease. One of the man problem areas s n Bengal Townshp where the boundares are Parks Road on the north, Centerlne Road on the south, Francs Road on the east and Wrght Road, n Dallas Townshp, on the West. Here, when a heavy ran hts the area, the dran over-flows causng damage to the lowground farms. The problem s compounded when the ncreasngly used tle on hghground land forces the water back nto Stoney Creek and on to the low-ground land, where, the tle cant check the oversupply of water. Hence, the damage s done. Accordng to Bengal Townshp farmers, the problem has magnfed n the last 5 to 8 years and now n Sprng, when ran and floodng are at ther worst, they are unable to plant ther crops and at the end of the season, ther yeld s reduced. "* l It used to be wthn a week, the Sprng flood would be gone," Sturgs sad. "Now a small flood lasts 2 weeks." What the Bengal Townshp farmers want done, accordng to Sturgs, to allevate the floodng s a smple cleanng tfcat would remove the muck, and dead trees now embedded n the dran. They also want t wdened back to ts orgnal 909 grade. Gettng ths however, snt all that easy..in 973, the Sol Conservaton Servce (SCS) a dvson of the U.S. Department of Agrculture, the Mchgan Department of Natural Resources and the County Dran Offce, thought they had a soluton and met wth 200 to 300 farmers n Smth Hall to offer them what Loyd. Campbell, drector of the County branch of the SCS, estmates as a $2 mllon project whch would have ncluded an extensve wdenng and cleanng and puttng up a fence and creatng a nearby recreaton area. "Campbell sad the Smth Hall audence, by a show of hands, turned down the project but, Sturgs argued the local cost that would have been assessed the farmers,-" was much more than we could afford." "Old farmers gettng ready to retre got scared, when mllon dollar fgures were tossed around," he commented. July 2, Sturgs and a few others met wth County Dran Commssoner, Dale Chapman and accordng to Sturgs, they talked about gettng together wth people n Clnton and Iona Countes, snce ts an nter- County dran, to dscuss the feasblty of a smple cleanng and wdenng Sturgs and other farmers want If that doesnt work out, Sturgs sad,.they mght try somethng else n Clnton County whch, mght mean pettonng the County Dran Offce to study the problem Accordng to Chapman, 5 land owners would have to petton the Dran Offce and the offce would then turn them over to a Board of Determnaton who, would decde f a dran cleanng and wdenng s necessary. If they determned so, the Drajn offce cbuld began takng bds, but, any farmer along the vdran could go to court and get an njuncton to stop the project f he felt t-was detrmental to l hs nterests., One of the problems n gettng the smple cleanng and wdenng Sturgs and others want, s the opposton,, from some farmers on hgh ground who dont want to help pay for somethng they feel wouldnt really beneft them. Marshall Hcks, Bengal Tow^shp supervsor, sad hs farm s on hgh ground and added that the June 24 floodng wasnt all that unque. "Theyve had floods n the area before," he sad. He also suggested the June 24- floodng was a wdespread problem tand that t he hms.elf, t had lost somefay.v *,,? J,**, redone of.the worst Jlopdngb areas s n the Park - Centerlne J - Francs - Wrght area and Mrs. Feldpausch, echong the sentments of many n the area, sad, "they (people east, north and south of the area) get rd of ther water and gve t to us," County Commssoner Harold Martn, whose dstrct ncludes Bengal Townshp, suggested the farmers get together and clean t themselves. Sturgs agreed ths could be A possblty, but, thought t would be cheaper f the Dran Offce hred a contractor to do the work. Sturgs thnks the smple cleanng and wdenng he and hs neghbors want would probably cost between $0 and $20 an acre though Chapman, sad the cost couldnt be estmated untl a contractor dd so. Whle Sturgs and hs neghbors, actng out of necessty, appear to be the most ardent supporters,of the smple cleanng and wdenng, theres a general feelng among area farmers that the upgradng of Stoney Creek would beneft everyone. Stll, there s no problem, as Lester Mller hnted, of gettng, the dfferent partes to agree, "They hate to admt the need because of, the cost," he sad.?*we* /dtoqe mutato* A regular meetng of the Fowler Vllage Councl was held on Monday, July 4,975.

16 6 DeWltt Twp Board OKs specal assessment DEWITT TWP, - The creaton of a specal * assessment dstrct that wll ask for mll* from all townshp resdents was unanmously approved by the DeWtt. Townshp Board of Trustees Monday nght n a short hour meetng. Dale Emerson, Townshp Supervsor, told the Board he favored the specal assessment as the best way to produce the needed revenue to pay for a porton of the Polce and Fre Budget that the l mll whch expred last wnter had been contrbutng to. The 5 people, out of the 4,633 regstered voters, who voted aganst the specal assessment dstrct at the July 6 publc hearng, he reasoned, "where a small mnorty who dd not represent a broad secton of the communty" and therefore, he sad, the rest of the communty were probably not opposed to the assessment. He also suggested that those attendng the publc hearng were not really aganst gvng up ther rght to vote on the mllage, but rather, were concerned they would be asked to pay more than mll. He offered the soluton of creatng a specal assessment dstrct for the entre townshp as the best way of meetng everyones concerns, whle producng the needed revenue and savng the Townshp the trouble of gong through costly mllage electons. The Board approved Emersons lne of thought ncludng hs stpulaton that, wthn a year, the Board wll revew the specal assessment and decde f they should retan t or return to the mllage electon process. The Board also announced they wll hold another publc hearng on the specal assessment Aug. 20, from 7 to 9 p.m. n the Townshp Hall to gve the ctzenry a fnal chance to voce ther opnons. In response to a queston, Emerson sad that f any group of resdents ddnt lke the specal assessment method, they could attempt to gather 0 per cent of the Townshp property/ owners sgnatures on pettons whch could force the ssue onto a ballot. In other acton the Board: accepted and referred to the Plannng Commsson a request for a specal use permt to operate a santary landfll by Howard Angell and Thomas Handvsde. gave the contract for openng a well to Mawer & Parks who had the lowest bd of $,000. referred the problem of pole frame buldngs to the Plannng Commsson. rejected the Gbson class C lquor lcense request because no plan of recommendaton was presented.

But changes n merchandsng have fouled up the home accounts, runed our defntons, and dstorted the cost of eatng. Everythng we buy atthe "grocery" store comes under the classfcaton for purposes of home accountng-ncludng rals, ol, tobacco, bolts, glue, pant, garden hoses, nylon hoses and radator hoses. Two thngs could be happenng actually - folks may be buyng these thngs and eatng them ancuhus* correctly callng theft* groceres; or they could be callng them groceres but usng them for other purposes. (Perhaps the mystery wll clear up when someone comes out wth a report on the nutrtonal value of nals, pant, ol, bolts and etc.!) But one never knows what folks are eatng. For example, 90 percent of all cat and dog food sold comes from the same place that other (?) food ssold. ; Consumers buy half of ther har spray/asprn and toothpaste at the supermarket. More money s spent for dog food than for commercal baby-food. And more "grocery" money s used to buy beer, cgarettes and pet foods than beef. Creatng a defnton for groceres s a practcal challenge for food producers and a problem n publc relatons. The consumer fgures the hgh cost of lvng begns wth food-he doesnt know that the cost of food has been gong down n relaton to hs total ncome. Maybe the answer s to change the name of grocery stores to "Home Supply Stores," then we wouldnt gve the mpresson to folks who are unacquanted wth our marketng system that we are eatng dog food, garden hoses, hammer handles and the lke. ww MOBILE HOME LOTS FOR RENT IN OVID Large 80x50 ft.

Senator Joe Mack tough nfghter from the U.P. won a fght ths week n hs ongong batter wth the DNR. Joe, and most of hs UP consttuents, dffer wth the DNR, and many downstate resdents about the future of Mchgans,beautful upper pennsula. Joe wants ndustry, development and the concurrent hgher standng of lvng generally provded. The DNR wants conservaton, preservaton, mprovement of the present natural wonders. The two are often on collson course. Joe got hs bll through the Senate ths week that makes some exceptons to Mchgans Envronmental Protecton Act for the mnng ndustry. No longer could ctzens sue to stop mnng operatons that had been approved by regulatory agences, I voted aganst the bll as an nfrngement of ctzen rghts, possbly harmful to the envronment. However, I am sympathetc to some of the problems busnessmen face n the present stuaton and I am proposng a soluton. There are two basc problems to throwng envronmental - development conflcts nto the court system. Frst the decson s often drawn out as one goes from court to court n the appeal process. A needed new power plant could.be (and has been) held up for years before the ssue s settled. Ths s of course costly to busnessmen and eventually the publc. It may hold up needed jobs as well as needed power.. Nurses wanted. No matter what you do for a lvng, you can do a lot of good for somebody lvng n your communty. And do yourself a lot of good at the same tme. To see how much, wrte!; Volunteer. Washngton, D.C Your help s very much wanted. f Volunteer, Itll make you a better human beng. The second problem s that the court system often does not have the expertse really requred to decde the ssues. Judges are not generally scentfcally or technologcally educated. I propose a new decson makng agency to handle only envronmental suts. One member would be apponted by each of three major unversty presdents based on ther qualfcatons to judge such ssues. Two crcut court judges would be apponted by the Governor to gve the body the necessary legal ablty. All ctzen suts n the State over envronmental ssues would go drectly to ths body and then could be appealed to the appeals court. Snce ths body would be an expert body compared to the crcut courts all over the State that could presently hear such suts I thnk there would be far fewer appeals consdered. I dont thnk Joe Mack should get hs specal nterest legslaton for the^up. But I thnk he has ponted out a problem that needs a soluton. Hanson, 5. Kathy Green, 6. Mke Green.
