Watervliet's top cop still without a contract
Chief's job description
limits use of oatrol
car
P
and aid outside the city
By Cliff Stevena
During a special Watervliet City Commission meeting September 17, approval was given to
adopt a detailed job description
for the duties of the Chief of
Police.
According to City officials, the
document is believed to be the
first such document for the position in the City's 71-year history,
The approved job description
stresses the Police Chief will
maintain law and order within
the City l i m i t s and restricts the
department from spending excessive amounts of time in
Watervliet Township.
Included in the job duties for
the Chief and department members is increased foot patrol in
the downtown business district
an average of two times per shift.
The job description calls for
halting the practice of "chasing
down bad checks" while on duty
and spending only a minimal
tune at the Berrien County Courthouse.
Under the document, mutual
aid responses by department
m e m b e r s will be limited to
prionty calls. 911 emergency
calls, and backing up Coloma City, Coloma Township and Hartford Police departments.
The job description also halts
the Chief from attending the
"time consuming" meetings of
the S o u t h w e s t e r n M i c h i g a n
Police Chief's Association while
on duty.
Under the terms of the Chief s
job description, the position of
Chief is a salaried employee of
the City so overtime and compensatory time are not available.
The Chief is also expected to
maintain a high level of morale
within the Police Department
and attend City Commission
meetings.
The Police Chief may also use
a patrol car to travel to and from
his residence ^ if and only if" the
Police Chief resides within the
City l i m i t s .
City C o m m i s s i o n e r David
Haase. Chairman of the Safety
C o m m i t t e e , n o t e d t h e job
description, which took immediate effect upon its adoption,
is also a "condition of employment" for the Chief.
Haase said the job description
was prepared by the City to give
current Chief Thomas Schultz
and any future chiefs a detailed
outline of their duties and responsibilities.
Chief Schultz, who has been the
city's top low enforcement officer since July 1991, questioned
if he had a 40-hour work week and
what his compensation would
total.
Commission m e m b e r s told
Schultz those issues would be settled in a contract between him
and the City to be resolved at a
later date.
Since beginning work with the
Gty, Schultz has worked without
iW
f-J
a written contract despite his inquiries as to when a contract
would be offered. He said last
May he was told a contract was
not needed.
In another area, the Commission voted to go into executive
session with Schultz to discuss
compensatory time he had accumulated.
In mid-May, City officials said
Schultz had over 100 hours of
compensatory time then.
Following the 30-minute closed
session, the Commission voted to
meet again with Schultz at a
special meeting at 5:30 p.m.

Quadruaple heart bypass surgery will keep
Coloma Police Chief off work 4 months
By Cliff Stevens
Coloma City Police Chief
Robert Wohler was admitted to
lakeland Medical Center, St.
Joseph, on September 17, after
suffering what has been described as a heart attack while at
home during the lunch hour. He
underwent a quadruple heart bypass operation Monday morning,
S e p t e m b e r 23, at Lakeland
Medical Center, and was listed in
serious condition Tuesday moming.
Wohler, 61, drove himself to the
Coloma Emergency Ambulance
Garage in Coloma Township September 17 and was immediately
placed into an ambulance and
taken to the hospital, according
to G t y Patrolman Ken Gustafson.
His wife, Shirley, said her husband started experiencing difficulty while he was home for
lunch.
Wohler, a former Coloma G t y
Commissioner, was named Coloma G t y Police Chief in September 1993 to fill the Chief's post

Old sewer plant sale sours;
City Commissioners blame
former manager Fred Snider
By Joe Cheshire
"We've been Smderized" was
the comment by Hartford Mayor
Ted Johnson, over the latest
episode in the continuing saga involving the old wastewater sewer
plant for the City.
The plant, abandoned 18 years
ago when the new system went on
line, has raised its ugly head
again over the sale of the property to the Van Buren Sportsmen's
Club which owns property near
the site.
The City Commission accepted
the bid of $2,002 from the Sportsmen's G u b last year, which was
$600 or so less than the highest
bid received. The Commission
voted to accept the lower bid,'
with the thought the sale would
benefit local residents if in the
ownership of the Sportsmen's
Gub.
Now enters the serpent of fate.
Interim City Manager Paul
Muinch, acting on a request from
the Commission, checked on the
status of the sale, only to find the
Sportsmen's G u b had balked,
due to the removal of the old
pumps from the facility.
According to information given
at the meeting, the pumps from
the old plant were given to the
Township of Coloma by then City
Manager Fred Snider when it
was deemed they were of no
value to the G t y .
The Sportsmen's Club said its

F a r m e r Friday's was among a
list of West Michigan sites listed
in the September issue of Michigan Living by the Automobile
Club of Michigan.
The article named a variety of
locations to draw motorists to enjoy autumn adventures in the uncrowded West Michigan attractions.
Readers of the monthly magazine from AAA of Michigan
learned of the thousands of Halloween items offered at F a r m e r
Friday's Market, in addition to
its Haunted House, the buffetstyle restaurant, and bakery.

bid of $2,002 was based on the
club's being able to salvage the
pumps and resell them; and without the pumps they constituted it
a breech of contract on the City's
part.
Snider deemed because the
pumps were donated to Coloma
Township the City could not then
turn around and ask Coloma
Township to pay for the pumps;
so he told the Sportsmen's G u b if
it would pay the $45 fee for property transfer the plant would be
the club's property.
Commissioner Mark Keyser
said he was outraged that Snider
would undertake such a deal
without consulting the Commission.

NOT TO BE
SNEEZED AT...
"BLESS YOU!"
By Tillman Amstutz
It's that time of the year.
Dozens of people are suffering
f r o m h a y f e v e r and allergies. •
Pqllens a n d allergenics a b o u n d
There's a c r e s of ragweed (both
kinds) and goldenrod. There's all
kinds of molds, inside and out of
doors. T h e r e ' s chicken feathers
and cat dander. There's even
dust mites, and their droppings,
that invade the carpeting and
upholstery of m o s t people's
homes.
None of the above a r e to be
sneezed at. Yet we do. Ka-shoo!
But they can do a lot more.
They m a k e our noses run and our
eyes water. They clog up our
nostrils and sinuses and enflame
our whole respiratory system.
We get all congested in our lungs.
Breathing becomes a labored
process. Energy is way down for
the lack of oxygen. We get irritable. Food doesn't taste right.
But we gotta breathe. It's just
that simple: "no breath, no life."
We go to the doctor for shots or
pills or inhalants. And we eagerly
wait for frost to kill off the pollen.
We find that getting help early in
the season is important (fruit
blossoms, grass, ragweed, goldenrod, mold, cat hair, chicken
feathers, mites, dust, etc.).
Are there pollens and allergies
about us that inhibit'Our Spiritual
breath g r a y e r life)? To be sure,
there are. tlife things we hear
about us, the things we see on TV
and in magazines and on billboards, the things we read can all
have the effect of pollen. The evil
mind and thoughts of m a n y people a r e allergic to everything
good and spiritual and Christian.
One teen-ager commented, "If
it's good, it's no f u n . "
It looks like it would be a
strategic thing for all of us to get
our spiritual respiratory systems
opened up so we can breathe the
pure air of Heaven.
Our prayer is that all of us will
join in t a k i n g deep p r a y e r
breaths f r o m t i m e to time in our
regular and special prayer t i m e s
in church and in our family and
personal prayer times at home.
We need to p r a y uncongested
and non-allergenie prayers.
We've got to p r a y - t o b r e a t h e to live the Christ life.
THE BACK FENCE
By Anne Bayer, co-publisher
I cannot believe that it is the
end of s u m m e r ; seems to m e as if
it has just started. I don't really
know why time seems to fly,
especially as you age. Not that I
a m ever going to do that age
thing, but here it is a u t u m n and I
still have so m a n y s u m m e r
chores to do.
Karl and I went up to the trailer
last weekend to help the crew
pull in the docks but, because it
was so cold and rainy, I never left
the warmth of the trailer. We a r e
supposed to head back up this
weekend to finish winterizing the
trailer and the boat; sure hope
the weather is better. If any of
you out there a r e m a r r i e d to a
fisherman, or even a golfer for
that m a t t e r , you know that often
times the weather does not even
matter. They can fish in s t o r m s
and in snow. Some years back we
had heard of some golfers using
orange-painted balls for their
snow play. Doesn't that beat it
all?
I also know that a t the first sign
of a storm with lightning most
people realize that they have to
get off the course. Many years
ago when I worked at Heather
Hills Golf Course in Almont,
Michigan, we had an outing going
on at the course for the day. After
the players had their lunch and
were back out for play, some of
the golfers brought in a m a n who
had been hit in the head with a
golf ball. That young m a n was
bleeding f r o m his head. That was
not a pretty sight. Accidents can
happen anywhere and anytime.
That was really something
about the little girl on her way to
school on Monday and the bridge
she was walking on collapsed.
What a surprise! Who would have
ever thought t h a t kind of an accident could happen to a small
child.
Accidents that cause a death
a r e the hardest sometimes to get
over because they are such a surprise. But don't get m e wrong,
any death is a hard and t r a u m a tic thing.
We have very dear and close
friends who a r e dealing with the
death of their own d e a r loved
one. Our h e a r t s go out to all of
you and hope that this, too, will
pass; and that in time all the
good m e m o r i e s you have can
bloom again, and she will be in
your hearts forever.I also suggest that m a y b e you all get to
know that little white cat; he or
she could be a friend.

The Renaissance Zone is beginning to shape up in the City of
Hartford as a series of meetings
has pinpointed 255 a c r e s that will
be designated for the benefit of
the zoning.
Three separate parcels of land
have been selected, with District
One being 190 a c r e s and consisting of the property in the PA 425
agreement, commonly r e f e r r e d
to as the annexed property on the
City's south side.
The property annexed into the
City two years ago will benefit
from a tax a b a t e m e n t for up to 15
years if Hartford is selected a s
one of the nine zones for the state
of Michigan.
The City pays a fee to the
Township in lieu of taxes and the
a g r e e m e n t states the fees will
continue for 20 years, a t which
time the City must have water
and sewer in place or the property will revert back to the Township.
The second district is a 40-acre
parcel on the City's southwest
side, consisting of the 23-acre
parcel commonly known as the
44
Beeny" property, along with
additional acres that encompass
the old Duwell Metal Plant on
Heywood Street.
The third p a r c e l . D i s t r i c t
Three, is a 25-acre parcel on the
northwest side of the City, including one residence and the old
Fruit Exchange property that
has sat idle for several years.
If Hartford is selected, the City
will forego collecting taxes on the
properties for up to 15 years as an
incentive to induce businesses
and industries to locate in the City.
With a filing d e a d l i n e of
September 30, the Commission
approved the hiring of PCT of

Arron Anthony, former Assistant City Manager for the City of
Benton Harbor and now with
PCT, said if Hartford is selected
a s one of the nine zones approved
by the Michigan Legislature the
City would benefit f r o m additional job opportunities.
Anthony also said the City's
lack of jobs, businesses, and industry would be a definite plus in
being considered for the
R e n a i s s a n c e designation. Anthony added the polluted land
surrounding the old Duwell plant
will help in the process.
"The state is looking for a r e a s
that a r e lacking in many a r e a s ,
and Hartford certainly fits the
bill."
Anthony said the City's agreement with the Township will not
be affected, as the Township is
his support to the Renaissance
Zone quest, as has Hartford
Public Schools.
According to figures presented
a t the Commission meeting, the
City estimates a tax revenue loss

Hartford Township passed a
motion a t its S e p t e m b e r 12
meeting stating the Township

City in its application, conditional on the Renaissance Zone

agreement in any way.

JOURNAL
By Roy M. Davis
MAGIC MOVIE
MOMENTS
Lately I've had movies on m y
mind. The new ones a r e technically better than ever. But a r e
they really better? Many oldtime actors could convey m o r e
emotion with a c o m m e n t or lift of
the eyebrow than our new films
can show with a fifteen minute
scene in a bedroom that fogs up
all the windows!
George R a f t ' s slicked back
hair and gangster vocabulary
conveyed more t h a n a hint of controlled violence. He lived hard
and fast, once saying that in his
c a r e e r he m a d e and spent 10 million dollars. His explanation:
" P a r t of the loot went for gambling, p a r t for horses, and part for
women. The rest I spent foolishly." But on the screen he was a
gentleman, albeit a hard one.
One of his most famous movie
death scenes c a m e in a gangster
thriller named " S c a r f a c e . " As he
stood flipping a half dollar, Paul
Muni shot him dead.
Another legendary Hollywood
bombshell-Mae West. She was a
brassy, bosomy sex symbol who
c a r r i e d it a l m o s t to c o m i c
lengths. Her silken, hip-swinging
walk and sideways glance accompanied some lines that will
live forever. In h e r 1933 film " I ' m
No Angel," she said to Cary
Grant, "Why don't you come up
some t i m e - a n d s e e m e ? "
When Gary Cooper died in 1961,
foreign news writers commented
that Cooper, who usually acted in
westerns, had seemed to have an
exact sense of the dividing line
between good and evil....He was
a symbol of trust, confidence and
protection-raw-boned, slow to
anger and bashful with women.
But he also gave the hint that he
was capable of deviltry if exposed to F r e n c h p e r f u m e on a Saturday night.
Who can forget the perfect
balance and s y m m e t r y of his
Sheriff Will K a n e in "High
Noon?" And the end, when he
takes off his badge and throws it
in the dust as he leaves town with
his Quaker wife (Grace Kelly).
My all-time choice for favorite
ending of a war movie comes in
the film "Battleground." This is
a chilling account of The Battle of
the Bulge in W.W.II. At the end,
the weary surviving m e m b e r s of
an infantry company a r e pulled
back f r o m the front lines. The
horrors of war a r e etched on their
faces. As they walk down the
road, they a r e passed by fresh
troops going in. Van Johnson
says, "Hey, Sarge, whatever
happened to J o d y ? "
Now, Jody is a m a r c h i n g
cadence that m a n y veterans will
r e m e m b e r - " Had a good home
but I left!....Had a good home but
I left!...Jody was there when I
left...." The foot sore soldiers
begin chanting, the beat builds,
they straighten up into a marching unit, and the background
music swells into a stirring rendition of the "Sound Off.*' Then the
end. It literally gives m e chills
when I see it.
J i m m y S t e w a r t - m o s t l y later
in his c a r e e r he m a d e a lot of
westerns. He rode the same
horse, n a m e d " P i e , " in many of
them. One film, "The F a r Count r y , " he always has a little silver

pupils and five teachers. Today,
enrollment is estimated at 50
pupils but still with five teachers.
One is for special education and
one is a Chapter 1 teacher.
I talked to two children who go
there, Aaron and Jennifer Sawyer, and their mother, Cindy
(Mrs. Richard), and they are all
v e r y l o y a l to t h e i r " o l d fashioned" but m o d e m country
school. The present Principal is
Sharon Hatfield, who also
teaches the kindergarten class.
After eighth grade, these
students go to E a u Claire for
High School.
Let's walk on down the road
and turn in at the home of Mrs.
Marian Fikes Callendar, a very
brave and interesting lady, who
happened to be in Coloma High
School part of the s a m e years I
was. Mary Theisen had told m e
that she was a " w a r e h o u s e " of information on Riverside, and she
was right!
Marian is being taken care of
this s u m m e r by h e r granddaughters, Kimberly P r i c e and
Stacy Blevins, and had just
returned f r o m a stint at the Martin Lutheran Care Center in
South H a v e n . S t r i c k e n with
multiple sclerosis a t about the
age of 35, she has battled it for a
long time. It was especially hard
for her since she loved to dance;
she met her husband at one of the
famous Riverside Hall dances,
which she had attended since
childhood. In fact, m e m b e r s of
the Fikes family m a d e up the
band: Morris played the drums.
Wesley the violin and banjo, and
Clara the piano. A Mr. Bratton
joined them with several kinds of
horns. She also danced regularly
at Crystal P a l a c e and Woodward's and skated at the P a w
Paw l ^ k e Roller Rink.
Marian was always active in
Grange picnics; she played piano
at the school and especially
r e m e m b e r e d when Mrs. J e s s e
(Sarah) Shine became a visiting
music teacher and she would accompany for the class lessons,
i This rang an important m e m o r y
bell for me, as Mrs. Shine was a
good friend of my m o m ' s , and I
know that Mom had an important
hand in getting that p r o g r am
started throughout this a r e a ' s
country schools. Of course, Sarah
Shine was also my seventh-grade
teacher in Coloma and one time
punished me for being late by requiring me to copy, from the Bible, the story of Samson and
Delilah. I never got the connection between that story and tardiness, but it did m e no h a r m and 1
have never forgotten the story.
I'm sure it went as far toward encouraging promptness as writing
"I will not be t a r d y " 100 times or
a detention slip with nothing to do
but watch the clock.) But back to
our walk.
Mrs. Callendar managed to
raise three children with the help
of her husband, who c a m e to
Riverside as a f a r m worker for 10
to 20 cents an hour but ended his
c a r e e r at Whirlpool for 28 years.
He died a few y e a r s ago. W ar m
memories poured forth about her
childhood a t the Fikes homestead
on the c o m e r of Fikes and Coloma Road and the downtown
businesses in Riverside and of
the railroad station, which actually began Riverside's history,
and of the Methodist Church,
which remains a powerful p a r t of
her life. These will come back to
us next week as we continue our
walk through Riverside.

Stories of the Coloma/Watervliet Area by Dorothy Stark Canncll
Since Riverside never became
incorporated as a village or a city, who's to say where downtown
begins. So let's s t a r t at the south
end near the Daly f a r m , which,
during my earlier years, was the
real beginning of Riverside. My
first contact had been with a
pleasant lady, Mrs. Mary Theisen, who lives now in Watervliet
and had been a Daly. I had planned for our first stop at the home of
the Daly sisters, Mary and Katie,
just across f r o m the old Daly
f a r m . Their nephew, Owen Daly,
and wife run the f a r m now, but
the sisters live elsewhere; so
we'll move on down the road to
the Hagar No. 6 School, which is
one of two country schools left in
the whole of Berrien County.
They held a 125th anniversary
celebration in 1994. It was not the
first school in H a g a r Township.
In fact, five preceded it. That's
why it's No. 6. But it is the only
one still active and in use today.
Back in 1841, the first white
baby to be b o m in Hagar Township was Mary J a n e , daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. William McCray.
Eight years later, her father was
killed by a falling tree being cut
down for the lumbering industry,
and her mother m a r r i e d a Mr.
Anthony S. Bishop.
Twenty-eight years later Mary
J a n e became the first teacher at
this school. Well, not this school
which stands h e r e today. It was a
small log building just across the
road f r o m the well-kept, but old,
brick building now in use. The
date of its beginning is said to be
1869 too, so they must have built
the first one-room structure later
the s a m e year. It has been added
onto and improved through the
years. There w e r e 16 pupils when
it began; in 1969 there were 140

recent centennial celebration of
The State Bank of Coloma.
m o m e n t they first appeared on
the screen together. There is a
story that d i r e c t o r Howard
Hawks told the sultry model she
would have to lower her voice for
movie roles. So she went to a
deserted Hollywood hillside and
s c r e a m e d herself hoarse. Then
they m a d e " T o Have and Have
Not."
In one m e m o r a b l e moment
from that film she has confronted
a very cynical Humphrey Bogart
in his hotel room. She kisses him,
then says, "If you want anything,
just whistle. You know how to
whistle, don't you? J u s t put your
lips together and blow."
Then she slithers out of the
room while the surprised Bogart
looks pensive. Then he puts his
lips together and softly gives the
famous woli whistle. That film
started the r o man ce that endured
until his death in 1957.
Iâst but not least I'd like to
mention the w e s t e r n film
" S h a n e . " Critics give it the
highest possible rating. In it a
young J a c k Palance portrays a
famous gunfighter. But he is not
fast enough to outdraw Alan
Iâdd's Shane at the end.
Shane helps the homesteaders,
almost falls in love with a frontier wife, and earns the undying
devotion of her small son. After
killing the gunfighter and his cattleman boss, the wounded Shane
rides away into the sagebrush
Little Joey calls a f t e r him into

back! Shane, I love you! Shane!"
and the mountains echo back his
piping voice. We all realize, as
the boy is tearfully learning, one
of life's lessons: Nothing stays

At the September 23 meeting of
the Coloma City Commission, the
Chairman of the Ordinance Committee learned " f r e e " help is
available in compiling new ordinances for the Commission to
consider for adoption.
City C o m m i s s i o n e r Sven
Erickson told the Commission his
committee needed help in writing
new ordinances dealing with
multi-family zoning and banning
skateboards and rollerblades in
the City's business district.
He proposed hiring a law firm
to undertake the work and felt
$300 would at least begin the ordinance assistance.
Commissioner Charles Owen
objected to hiring any law firm
and told Erickson the City is a
member of the Michigan Municipal League and offers free
assistance in the form of supplying sample ordinances already in
use in other Michigan cities.
Owen said the City pays $1,000
a year to belong to the group and
felt the same professional wording of ordinances could be ob-
tained by contacting the organization.
"They'll send us several different ordinances on the same
topic and we can select the best
one for adoption/' added Owen,
in addition to the two proposed
ordinances being considered by
the committee, Commissioner
Julia Smith wants them to study
the need for a new ordinance
dealing with abandoned vehicles,
Smith told the Commission she
was aware of unlicensed vehicles
in the City which have been inoperative for years.
"We've got to get this garbage
out of town," said Smith.
in other areas, the Commission
voted to give Coloma Police Chief
Robert Wohler a three percent
pay hike, retroactive to July 1,
bringing his annual salary to
$37,100.
The Commission also approved
a pay increase to Police Secretary JoAnne Stevens, bringing
her hourly pay to $7.54. Her pay
hike was also retroactive to July
1.

Ellinger also said he and
Business Manager Michael Hall^'ren had been in conference with
the architects of the project,

well as the head of Shelton Construction of Benton Harbor, the

"We told them we were very

The Board voted unanimously
to approve the bills, with the

The Berrien County Health
Department will provide free
vaccinations to children at
H e a l t h F e s t '96 h e a l t h f a i r
scheduled for Saturday, September 28, at the Mendel Center,
Lake Michigan College, according to Carol Klukas, R.N., Personal Health Services Supervisor.
"The special vaccination service at HealthFest '96 has been
scheduled to provide another opportunity for parents to get their
children protected against dangerous, yet preventable, communicable childhood diseases,"
said Klukas.
Michigan law requires that all
new school entrants be completely immunized against vaccine
preventable diseases in order to
attend school. In addition, the
department is targeting the twoyear-old age groups and younger.
"The Health Department and
other organizations that are participating in a special Immunization Action Planning (IAP) Committee are collaborating to increase the percentage of children
two years of age and younger
that are up-to-date with their immunization," said Klukas.
The IAP consists of representatives from Lakeland Regional
Health System, Berrien County
Family Independence Agency,
Benton Harbor Area Schools,
Michigan State University Extension, the Health Department,
and other health and social serving agencies.
Free immunizations will be
provided in the Berrien County
Health D e p a r t m e n t ' s mobile
clinic, set up in the Mendel
Center. The vaccinations will be
provided 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.
Klukas noted the vaccine for
chicken pox (Varicella) is not
available at this time. There is no
charge for any of the vaccinations at this special clinic;
Through drenching rain and
cool breezes, the Hartford High
School Indian Emerald Vanguard really showed what it was
made of last weekend when it
took top honors at two area band
competitions. At Rockford, the
Vanguard took home the Flight
IV first-place trophy along with
trophies for "Best Winds," "Best
Percussion," "Best Marching
and Maneuvering," and "Best
Auxiliary."
The Vanguard then left Rockford Saturday afternoon for a second competition at Wyoming
Park High School where it
received a score of 57.72 and
received trophies for the following: "First Place Flight I V "
"Best Winds," "Best Percussion," and "Best Marching and
Maneuvering."
Though very tired after two
competitions and a Homecoming
âme, the Vanguard returned
home Saturday night, triumphant and in good spirits.
The 92-piece band includes 39
winds, 18 percussion, 16 auxiliary, and one field commander
l Kate McLellan) is under the
direction of Russell S. Hilton
(Director) and Ross Mullins
(Assistant Director). Assisting
with winds and marching are
Thom Dukshere, Steve White,
Greg Newell, Tom Golden, Brian
Beaman, Tonya Brown, and
Renee Cummings. Casey Spring
is assisting the percussion and
S c o t t R i e m e n s c h n e i d e r is
assisting the colorguard.
This year the Emerald Vanguard will be performing "Joan
of Arc," a musical tribute to the
short life of composer Lili
Boulanger, and it is based upon
themes of orchestral works of
Boulanger. It is a very visual
show depicting the heroic struggle and death of Joan of Arc, a
French heroine Boulanger very
much admired. The show has
three acts, which are-Act I:
"Knights F a n f a r e " : Act II:
" D e s t i n y " ; a n d Act I I I :
"Memories that were not to
be..."
If you wish to catch this awardwinning show, the Vanguard will
be performing Saturday, September 28, at Mona Shores; October 6 at At wood; October 11 at
Hartford during halftime; October 12 at Reeths-Puffer High;
October 19 at Jennison; October
25 at Hartford during halftime;
and October 26 at the state championships at the Silverdome.
Last year the Hartford Indian
Emerald Vanguard had a very
distinguished marching season
as it took home first-place division trophies the entire marching
season and received third place
at the state finals in Ann Arbor.

Here's an Interesting
bit of Information from "Teachings
of Nature"
by Adolf Hungry Wolf (which is one of
my many
sources.)
IVe consider
Chokecherry,
Prunus vlrglniana,
a
junk bush that grows in abandoned
areas. We//, If you will just take time,
at least one complete season, you
will observe very pretty white flowers
in May and spectacular fall color. The
small purple berries are popular food
for all songbirds. Not bad for a "junk"
shrub!
American Indians had many uses
for the cherries. They were boiled for
soups and brews; crushed and dried
for cakes and cookies. Hard Chokecherry wood was used for pipe stems,
tipl pegs, bows, and arrows. Fresh
sticks
were stuck into meats for
flavoring. Dry branches will not soak
up water and made good emergency
firewood. I bet I could do all that except I don't smoke or live in a tipl.
On your backroads travels, find a
Chokecherry, keep an eye on It, and
enjoy!
If you have any questions, please
feel free to call me at 468-8594.

Things have tightened up
this week f r o m top to bottom
to m a k e the RACE very interesting.
Chris Gargano went 1A and
maintains her first-place position by the s l i m m e s t of
margins. Chris had a threeg a m e cushion going into this
week, but J a y Patrick has
done his part to tighten that
up.
Jay had the best record of
the week at 10-1 and was the
only one of our competitors to
c o r r e c t l y pick Louisville's
upset of Michigan State. Jay
now has the same overall
record as Chris but was just
edged out by the tie-breaker.
Barry Nilson went 8-3 this
week which is good enough to
stay in third place, but he certainly doesn't have a comfort
zone. Barry is three games
behind the leaders and just one
game ahead of archrival Jim
Edwards.

INDIAN
HOMECOMING
PRODUCES
SEASON'S FIRST
SHUTOUT
Hartford coach J i m Webb felt
all along this season that his offense had a lot of potential. That
potential produced big results
last F r i d a y night a s the Indian offense rolled up 457 yards of total
offense en route to a 31-0 victory
over E a u G a i r e .
Up until now the Indian defense
/iad c o m e up big Ume and time
aâin in its first two g a m e s to
help preserve Hartford victories.
The Indians continued t h e i r
stellar performances by shutting
out the Beavers and shutting
down the E a u G a i r e running attack.
But this night it was the offense's turn to steal the show and
they didn't wait long. On the second offensive play of the g a m e
for Hartford, Justin Smith broke
loose for an 85-yard touchdown to
give the Indians a 7-0 lead and get
them off and running. Smith also
scored the second touchdown of
the evening on a 12-yard run to
give Hartford a 13-0 lead a f t e r
one quarter.

UP JUST SHORT
The Watervliet varsity football

their 14-6 loss.
Watervliet actually outgained
Bangor in total offense, 198 y a r d s
to 185. But the Vikings had built a
14-0 lead by the time the fourth
quarter had rolled around.

Caine for a 22-yard gain and a
first down that kept its possession
alive. Caine eventually scored
Watervliet's only touchdown on a
7-yard run and led the Panther
rushing attack with 76 y a r d s on 13
carries. Quarterback Ben Bobay
completed four of 12 passes for 94
yards, with Forrest Halamka
catching all four for 61 yards.
On defense, Kevin Caine also
led the P a n t h e r s in tackles with
11. Nathan Bobay had seven
tackles, Ben Iliff and Jason Arnold each had six tackles, while
Ryan Erickson added five
tackles. T h o m a s Reeves and
Halamka each had an interception while Iliff had a fumble
recovery. Panther coach Scott
Millin thought that his defense hit
real well while also shutting
down what was supposed to be a
high-powered Bangor offense. He
was also pleased with punter
Mike Horton who averaged 49
yards on three punts, including
one that went 77 yards. And, of
course, Horton showed some
poise under pressure on the fake
punt.
Now don't get the wrong impression that e v e r y t h i n g is
peachy because it is not. Even
though this is the second consecutive ballgame that the Panthers were in to the end, their
goal is still to win one. "We are

Watson hit Antone Hines for a
12-yard scoring strike to m a k e it
7-0. It stayed that way until the
second q u a r t e r when Haslett tied
it up. The score was still 7-7 a t

But the second half belonged to

Nancy Kutchinski stays in
eighth place but has brought
herself right back into contention. Nancy tied for the second
best record of the week at 9-2
and would have possibly moved up two spots if not for the
tie-breaker. Another performance like this week and she
will move up.
Just six g a m e s separate

anything can happen this
week.
water this week as he goes 7-4
and stays in sixth place. Doug
has something to be thankful
for as he beat out two other
people by virtue of the tiebreaker to keep himself out of
the cellar. Both Nancys a r e
tight on Doug's heels so he has
to get it in gear.
Nancy H u f f m a n is right
behind Doug in seventh place
a f t e r going 6-5. But that is not
necessarily good news as Nancy was in fifth place so she is
going in the wrong direction.
The Indians only scored one
time in the second quarter on
quarterback Joe Quigno's 1-yard
run to give them a 13-0 halftime
lead.
The third q u a r t e r saw Brian
Kays catch an 8-yard touchdown
pass from Quigno, followed by
Ricardo Troutman's 43-yard run
to paydirt on another possession.
When the dust settled, the final
score of 31-0 had been established
after three quarters. Both t e a m s
traded possessions in the fourth
quarter, with pretty much everyone on Hartford's roster gaining
valuable playing time.
All told, the Indians piled up
370 y a r d s rushing and 87 passing
to get that 457-yard total. Justin
Smith had 242 yards and two
touchdowns on 18 c a m e s . Quarterback Joe Quigno completed
four of six passes for 39 yards and
one touchdown, while sophomore
quarterback Kevin Klug hit on
four of nine passes for 48 yards.
Troutman had 93 yards and one
touchdown on 14 carries. Hartford quarterbacks hit seven diff e r e n t r e c e i v e r s , with Chad
Gargus getting two receptions;
while Brian Kays, Shawn Mead.
Steve Lowe, .Andy Bachman,
Keith Marquart, and Mike Johnson all pulling in one pass.
Defensively, there were plenty
of different players getting in on
the action as Doug Klug and Mike
DeLaRosa each had seven tackles, Korey Manning and Chad
Gargus each had six tackles, and
Andy B a c h m a n a d d e d f i v e
tackles. Brian Kays intercepted a
Beaver pass for Hartford.
Coach Webb was happy that his
offense was finally able to show
what it can do. He was also happy
that the defense was able to post
its first shutout of the season. The
Indian defense has now allowed
just 16 points in three games.

GORDON C H A R L E S
ARCHERY DEER
SEASON OPENS
OCTOBER 1
,
Does any Michigan bowhunter
jeed to be reminded that Tuesiay, October 1, is opening day of
.he 1996 a r c h e r y deer season?
at chance!
Unlike their idol, Robin Hood,
Dowhunters of today no longer
run around the woodlands dressKi in green pantyhose. Instead,
they all a r e outfitted in special
camouflaged clothing f r o m head
to toe and designed to, hopefully,
make them invisible to the whitetails they a r e seeking.
Just in t i m e to get you into the
proper f r a m e of mind for your attempt at arrow-launching comes
a rather interesting story about
another f a m o u s archer. No, not
the mayor of Detroit, but the one
who shot the apple off his son's
head: William Tell.
After that hair-raising event,
you never did h e a r much about
the Tell family but they decided
it would be less hazardous to take
up a new sport. According to accounts, they all joined a bowling
league and had considerable success for some years. Finally,
though, they quit and all of the
bowling records were lost in a
fire, so the story goes. And now,
nobody knows for whom the Tells
bowled!
Okay, okay, back to more
serious stuff like why some
perfectly sane Michigan citizens
like to spend week a f t e r week
perched in a tree with their
sticks-and-strings. Some get so
bored by the lack of action that
they fall asleep, then follow that
up by falling out of the tree. This
often leads to breaking valuable
and expensive bones. Some even
manage to kill themselves, thereby making it quite possible for
their insurance-rich wives to
marry the more sensible fisher-
m a n who lives next door.
The Department of Natural
Resources tells us that the other
350,000 b o w h u n t e r s s o m e h o w
m a n a g e to m a k e connections
with s o m e t h i n g like 100,000
whitetails each year and end up
with venison in the freezer. Many
wives grumble about that, too,
especially when the roasts they
cook then end up leaving tallow
f r o m the m e a t sticking to the
roofs of their mouths. But what
mighty hunter could object to a
little thing like that?
As for the other 250,000 bowstring t w a n g e r s , they a r e
perfectly content to launch their
costly broadheads into nearby
trees they didn't notice when the
buck of a lifetime m a d e a sudden
appearance at their bait pile
down below. Digging an expensive arrowhead out of an innocent
popple tree, however, gives most
bowhunters something rather exciting to do when not engaged in
thinking of other things.
You have to admit, though, that
October is a beautiful month to
spend sitting in a tree out in the
woodlands. Besides the chance of
maybe seeing a deer, you a r e
likely to encounter other wildlife.
The squirrel which comes by
looking for a stray nut may briefly think he has found one. Launching an arrow in his direction,
however, is usually enough to
convince the bushytail he has
m a d e a mistake.
The bowhunting season is so
long, in fact, that a really
dedicated enthusiast could go
right on sitting in a tree until New
Year's Day, neglecting family
and business until he ends up
with frozen assets!

A number of nice sized bluegills were also taken at Van

most boats have had to move

to Ryan Siegert. That m a d e the
final score 2ft-13.
Coloma ended the evening with
243 y a r d s of total offense. Two
hundred and five of that c a m e on
the ground as quarterback Watson rushed for 93 yards on nine
carries, J e r r y P r y o r went 66
yards on 14 carries, while Ryan
Ott chipped in 47 yards on 11 c a r ries. Andy Watson completed
four of ten passes, including two
for touchdowns to Siegert and
Hines. Siegert actually had two
r e c e p t i o n s while P r y o r a l s o
caught one pass.
Defensively, Tom Hejduk led
the Comets with 12M2 tackles,
Pryor had 7 4 , and Keith Kinyon
had 6M». Kyle Weber was also
credited with playing a good
defensive ballgame. Ricky Cox
had a fumble recovery for Coloma.
Coloma's coaches felt that
their t e a m played very hard and
had better focus this week.
They hope that carries through
as the Comets will travel to
Cassopolis this Friday.
LADY PANTHERS
FALL TO DECATUR
Watervliet's girls varsity
basketball team only had one
game on the schedule last week
and it ended up being one of those
g a m e s where what appeared to
be a potential victory turned into
a 45-36 defeat at the hands of
Decatur.
Things started out innocently
enough as the Iâdy Panthers
took an 11-6 first-quarter lead and
held a 17-14 halftime advantage.
Hut a quick sequence of events at
the end of the third q u a r t e r
changed the momentum completely as Watervliet was then
outscored 17-6 in the final quarter
to ensure its second defeat of the
season. With time running down
in the third quarter and Watervliet ahead by five points, l i s a
Ashton hit a basket that apparently put them up by seven.
But the basket was waved off
because of a three-second violation. and when Decatur hit a
three-pointer at the end of the
quarter to narrow it to a twopoint difference everything had
changed.
Watervliet ended up shooting
54% (15-28i f r o m the floor, which
is good. But the Lady P a n t h e r s
just didn't take enough shots.
They were also 5-7 from the freethrow line. Lisa Ashton had 15
points and eight rebounds. Emily
Hutchins had seven points and
five rebounds, while Trisha
Lynch added six points.
Watervliet did commit 25 turnovers and will have to work on
that. The Iâdy Panthers a r e now
4-2 and will have started conf e r e n c e play against Lake
Michigan Catholic by the time
you read this. Then on Thursday,
September 26, they will host NewBuffalo in an important matchup.

COMET GIRLS
FALL TO BERRIEN
IN FINAL SECONDS
The Coloma girls varsity basketball t e a m dug itself a hole early against Berrien Springs last
week but then ended up making a
g a m e of it by coining back to tie
it up with five seconds left in the
g a m e before falling 47-46 on a
Iâdy Shamrock f r e e throw.
Coloma had trailed 15-7 a f t e r
one q u a r t e r and 27-20 at halftime
before closing the gap to 35-33
a f t e r three quarters.
The L a d y C o m e t s shot a
respectable 42% f r o m the floor
but went just 1-6 f r o m the freethrow line. They also had 39 turnovers, with 26 of those coming in
the first half. Amy Clark had her
best g a m e of this season to date,
with 13 points, six steals, and five
assists. Natalie DelaForet had
nine points and seven rebounds,
Stacey Schemenauer and Krystle
Weeks each had six points and
seven rebounds, while Heather
Brown had six points and six rebounds.
Earlier in the week the Iâdy
Comets dropped a 63-35 decision
to Brandywine. This g a m e was
totally different as they stayed
with the I ^ d y Bobcats the first
half, trailing just 12-11 after one
quarter and 22-20 at the half.
But the second half was a different story as the wheels fell off
for Coloma. They were outscored
20-7 in the third q u a r t e r and 21-8
in the fourth.
The Iâdy Comets only shot
28% f r o m the floor and hit 9-18
from the free-throw line. They
also committed 31 turnovers.
Amy Clark had 10 points and four
assists, Krystle Weeks had nine
points, Andrea Martin had five
points, Natalie DelaForet had
four points, while Stacey
Schemenauer pulled down nine
rebounds.
This Thursday the Lady Comets will host Edwardsburg before
taking next Tuesday off.
HARTFORD GIRLS
FALL TO GOBLES
The Iâdy Indian varsity basketball t e a m took on Gobies last
week and fell behind 26-16 at
halftime after a tough second
quarter. That proved to be the
difference as the I ^ d y Indians
fell by a 40-33 score.
Hartford only shot around 20%
from the floor and went 7-21 f r o m
the free-throw line while committing 22 turnovers. Katie Newnum
had 12 points; Kristin Kays had
six points; while Krissie Clark,
Anne Cardenas, and Amber Williams each had four points. Clark
also had six rebounds.
This Thursday the Iâdy Indians travel to Bangor before
hosting Watervliet next Tuesday,
October 1.

SPINEY NORMAN...band members include: (back row, from the left) Darren Tyler, Joe
Macmillan, Josh Raschke; and (front) Mark Pitcher.
Local band "Spiney Norman"
releases first
irst CD im area
By Paul Pflugradt J r .
Who is "Spiney N o r m a n ? "
This is a question many of us will
soon be able to answer. It is a
four-piece band rooted f r o m
Southwest Michigan.
Of the four m e m b e r s , two attended Watervliet Public
Schools; Darren Tyler, the
group's lead vocalist, r h y t h m
guitarist and piano player; and
Joe Macmillan, the group's percussionist They were both b o m
and raised in Watervliet. Other
m e m b e r s include Mark Pitcher
of B e m e n Springs on lead guitar
and backing vocals, and Josh
Raschke of Eau Claire on bass
and backing vocals.
Tyler,
Macmillan,
and
Raschke have been together on
the local original music scene going on six years now but just
" a l w a y s seemed to be mussing
something," s a y s Tyler, until
November of 1995 when they met
up with Pitcher. His 20-plus y e a r s
of playing experience and touring
s c a r s gave them what they were
missing, a bold source of leader-
ship and for the first time a true
belief that they could go somewhere with the music they were
writing; and, so far, they have
done just that.
By early spring of this year the
band's progress had already far
outdone the group's expectations.
They were performing m o r e
often and in more places than
they would have ever thought
possible. Spiney Norman covered
a r e a s f r o m St. Joseph, Grand
Rapids. Iânsing, Kalamazoo and
South Bend, all the way to Indianapolis.
The band m e m b e r s then decided it was time for something
more, a Spiney Norman CD. In
June the band began recording at
Station C Studios in G r a n d
Rapids, and over the last fewmonths the CD has been going
through its final stages of completion. Now- with the CD's
release just days away, the
b a n d ' s e x c i t e m e n t is heavy.
"This has always been our goal
from day one. and to think it is
just around the c o m e r is quite a
feeling for all of u s , " says Macmillan.
To top things off for the band.
Phantom Power Records of New
York has offered to sign the
group to its label; but at this time
these " h o m e b r e d " musicians
don't feel it would be in their best
interest. "We would lose a lot of
control over the disc and where it
is distributed; and right now we
just want to concentrate our efforts in Michigan, and locally,
because we have already gained
a headstart," s a y s Tyler.
Spiney Norman has slated October 4 as its release date and will
have a CD release party on that
night at C z a r s 505 in St. Joseph.
Also look for the band on the
(KI>Q) Aris' Big Disc and the
(WGRD) Radioactive CD.
These Spiney Norman CDs will
be available at Nightwinds Music
& Video, Music Matters and
Repeat The Beat Records in the
Southwest Michigan a r e a ; and at
various other music stores
throughout Michigan. The CD is
also available at Smith Lumber
in Hartford.
