Injured pilot rescued 5 days after crash
Passenger found dead
near crashed aircraft
By Joe Cheshire
A plane crash in the rural area
of southeast Hartford Township
/'claimed one life and miraculousI l y spared another. Dead is
Timothy Growl, 39, of Plymouth,
Indiana, who was a passenger in
a plane piloted by Jan Eby, 38, of
Culver, Indiana
The plane, en route to Indiana
from Ludington, Michigan, was
reported missing late Monday
tftemoon when it disappeared
from the radar screen at Ludin^lon, having departed that area
•t approximately 4 30 p.m. A
massive search was conducted in
the Manistee area over land and
Water.
Eby and Crowl were originally
beaded for Manistee but apparently changed their plans and
reversed directions, heading for
Indiana, without filing a flight
plan.
Although a flight plan would
have aided in the search, not filing one is not uncommon on short
flights over land When flying
over large bodies of water such
as I ^ k e Michigan, a flight plan is
usually filed with estimated time
of arrival at the distant location.
The pilot, who was hospitalized
with multiple injuries, including
a broken hip and wrist, reported
to Van Buren UndersherifT Dale
Gnbier the plane crashed in the
darkness about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday morning after running out of
fuel. As of Monday morning, Eby
was reported to be in serious but
stable condition in Borgess Hospital in Kalamazoo.
Eby holds a Private Pilot
license with less than 200 hours of
flight lime but is considered an
experienced pilot. A minimum of
40 hours of instruction hours is required to obtain a Private Pilot
license.
Eby is reported to have said
Crowl slated he was going for
help immediately a f t e r the
crash. Eby said he heard Crowl
cough and state his stomach hurt
and then went silent. Authorities
believe Crowl died the night of
the crash.
Eby was able to crawl from the
swampy area of the crash to a
high spot about 25 feet away;
and, without food or water, survived the nearly five-day ordeal.
The alert eye of a pilot flying
over the area late Saturday evening resulted in his rescue. Gribler
reported the Sheriff's Department received the report around
8:30-9:00 p.m.
The unidentified pilot spotted
t h e left wing of the Piper
PA-28-180. a four-seater plane, in
a treetop where the plane had
clipped trees in the dark. He
radioed his find to authorities and
circled the area until ground
crews were able to reach the
crash site.
The plane was equipped with
an Emergency Location Devise
which, although in the armed
position, failed to operate until
members of the Hartford Fire
Department bumped the plane
and activated it.
Emergency crews using chain
saws, cut a path to the crash site.
removed Crowl's body, and evacuated Eby to the hospital.
Eby reported they were returning to Indiana from Ludington
and were trying to skirt around a
storm in the area. Unable to
locate a roadway or field in the
darkness for landing, the fuelless craft clipped the treetop. ripping off the left wing, before falling on its side in the swamp.
An autopsy is scheduled to be
performed, to determine the exact cause of death to Crowl.
David Bowling of the National
Transportation Safety Board said
a preliminary report on the crash
would be available in five days,
with an official report in about
six months.
Assisting in the rescue operation were the Hartford, Lawrence and Keeler P ire def»rtments Medic 1 Ainbulance Ser-

DNR hearing draws unanimous
ort for after dark no-wake
inance on Paw Paw Lake
By Cliff Stevens
If officials from the state
Department of Natural Resources had any doubts over the support of establishing a no-wake
zone on Paw Paw I^ke, their
doubts should have vanished as a
result of Monday night's public
hearing meeting.
By a show of hands, all 76
members of the audience at the
August 26 hearing displayed their
favorable endorsement of a proposal calling for no-wake on Paw
Paw I ^ k e from one hour after
sunset to one hour prior to
sunrise.
The show of hands was a result
of DNR officer Sgt. Robert
Preston's interest in learning
how the audience members felt
on the no-wake issue.
Charles Pater, Secretary of the
Paw Paw Lake Association, said
the proposed times connected to
the no-wake policy coincide with
existing water skiing regulations.
Monday's hearing at the Coloma Township Hall marked the
third time during the past five
years lake residents have at-

tempted to obtain support from
the DNR to establish a no-wake
zone on the lake.
In 1993, the last time the DNR
held such a hearing, state officials failed to recommend a nowake zone.
In previous hearings, lake
residents expressed their conc e m s over the speed of boats on
the lake, the jet ski operators, the

overcrowded conditions of personal watercraft on the lake, and
the general lack of training by
boat operators.
The no-wake ruling has been
sought by the Paw Paw Lake
Association and the Paw Paw
I^ake Joint Advisory Commission.
Although Sgt. Preston did not
stipulate when the agency would
finalize its recommendations and
forward them to Coloma and
Watervliet Township officials, in
past hearings the DNR reaction
normally takes up to 60 days.
Concerns over the increase in
personal watercraft and recent
boating accidents on Paw Paw
Lake were mentioned at Monday
night's hearing.

By Cliff Stevens
A chase which started on Friday Road near Coloma after Coloma policeman Jeff Enders stopped a truck after suspecting the
driver was intoxicated was justified, according to Coloma City
Police Chief Robert Wohler.
The chase started after the
driver of the truck backed into
Enders' squad car and sped off
on August 12. The 4.5-mile chase
ended around 2:45 a.m., when the
truck crashed through a front
overhead door of the August Pohl
warehouse off Territorial Road.
One of the two passengers in
the truck driven by Nicholas
Baldwin, 17, of Hagar Township,
was Calvin Tunstill, 13, of
Watervliet, who suffered severe
injuries and was kept on life support at Lakeland Medical Center,
St. Joseph, until August 16 and
died Saturday, August 17.
A second passenger, Richard
Head, 13, also of Watervliet, suffered minor injuries.
The driver of the truck was
taken into custody after he was
found hiding in the building.
At least five other police officers from other departments,
including Coloma Township, the
Berrien County Sheriff's Department and Benton Township
Police, assisted Enders in the
chase.
Police reports indicated the
truck went out of control and
crashed after going around a
Sheriff's Department patrol car
that was ahead of the truck.
Baldwin was charged August
19 with a felony charge of
vehicular manslaughter by Berrien County Prosecutor Dennis
Wiley. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in
prison.
Chief Wohler said the chase
"was within the department's
policy" and the assault of Enders
by backing the truck into the
squad car gave the appearance of
a drunk driver.
"Who else was he (the driver)
going to hurt?' ,
The truck was allegedly stolen
from the Stephen and Mary Snyder residence in Watervliet
Township.

SNIDER SITS AT
LAST MEETING
Hartford City Manager Fred
Snider sat at his last meeting in
Hartford Monday night, August
26, and will see his last day of
work with the City on September
6.
During his five years with the
City of Hartford, Snider has
worked on acquiring 220 acres of
property that was annexed into
the City, along with the
downtown renovation. The City
has also seen a new water filtration and iron removal plant placed in operation.
Snider has rankled the hackles
of several commissioners and
many residents during his stay,
and threatened a lawsuit against
Mayor Ted Johnson over what he
t e r m e d a violation of his
(Snider's) contract. He also accused Johnson of violation of the
Open Meetings Act by contacting
members of the Commission by
phone, seeking support to terminate him.
Johnson said, " I ' m not unhappy with the City Manager position but with the individual in
that position."

asked the kids what their favorite
fun things were that we did this
summer. Right away Becky said,
"the water park." That's the way
we should view our spiritual
lives, too. For despite our fears
and screams, the twists and
turns, may we remember the
chills and thrills, the excitement
of risk taking, and the splash of

we have a Heavenly Father who
not only goes with us but who can
be twisted. And may we remember that with Him our lives really
can be a Pleasure Island.

SAD AS I AM TO SEE THE
summer vacation days come to
a close, the sounds of the school
buses picking up the kids sure
brought back the fond
memories.
In my mind I could smell the
fresh-waxed floors, new varnish
on the desks, and the chalk. The
mere 45 years since I had my
first day of school could have
been yesterday.
Then I rolled the memories on
fast forward and there was my
son, Justin, sneaking out of the
school room to race his mom
home. Then Amy, she was the
most excited of our children to
go to kindergarten. She was
dressed up and eagerly waiting
for the time to go to school.
When Gillian's first day came,
she fought it with loud screams
for her "Mommy," who had to
spend most of the first few
mornings outside Gill's classroom door.
Now with grandkids, my firstday memories have been expan-
ded First-grader Willy announced the past weekend he
wouldn't go the first few days.
But come Monday morning he
was up and ready to see h^
"old' school friends. Karly will
be starting preschool next
week... with that practice under
her belt, her first day of school
next year should have nothing
but happy memories.
TAKE THE KIDS to Deer
Forest. The area's most famous
theme park will close the day
after l a b o r Day. Manager Dan
Atherton told me there are
plans to open for the annual
Halloween days in October, but
the summer park is closed as of
Tuesday
Anne and I look Willy and
Karly there last week after the
paper was off the press. For a
Wednesday afternoon, the place
was pretty busy but not
crowded. Our grandkids rode
everything (thanks to all-ride
bracelets), touched hundreds of
animals, and marveled at the
boa constrictors, baby mice,
and giant lizards. Plus, they ate
plenty of cotton candy, hot dogs,
and red pop; then agonized over
the selection of a dollar toy in
the gift shop on the way out.
While they had plenty of
stories to tell their folks when
they got home, including their
two rides on the ferris wheel,
most of what they did and saw
will probably become mired in
the rest of their memories of the
past summer.
The memories Anne and I got
from that day will last a lot
longer. Someday we'll be telling
them to take their kids to Deer
Forest and we'll tell them of
that day just before school
started when they were still
known as the "Tator Tots."
Take your kids, grandkids, or
the neighbor's kids... for your
own memories.

THERE OUGHTA BE A lAYi...
I wonder how many accidents
have been caused by drivers
slamming on their car brakes to
stop at a garage/yard sale.
I narrowly missed rear ending
a car this past week, on my own
street. 1 would have been in the
wrong. I was watching my
garage door open instead of the
car in front of me. Unfortunately. that driver was watching the
gargage sale. I stopped just
inches from the rear bumper.
That's just the last of more
than a few occasions where I've
seen the car driver in front slam
on the brakes so the occupants
can look over the items in
somebody's driveway.
We all know certain roads are
great for selling stuff. Maybe
it's because of the high volume
of traffic or the high number of
"entrepreneurs" selling their
goods. Somedays these roads
are barely passable, with cars
parked on both sides and people
darting through the traffic...
sometimes you'd think there's a
farm auction.
There's a stretch of Paw Paw
Avenue in Watervliet that has
hosted garage sales that create
lines of cars on both sides of the
road; all along in front of the no
parking signs... even in the spot
the local cops sit some days to
catch speeders.
Anyway, when you see the
garage sale sign at the end of a
street, beware and drive carefully... •he bargain you see
might be less than the body
work needed on your car.

INDEPENDENCE DAY
By Cliff Stevens
After reviewing a list of 15
grievances filed against Coloma
Fire Chief Randy Morris and
Assistant Chief David Woodward, at a special Coloma Joint
Fire Board meeting August 21,
the Board decided to wait until its
September 10 meeting before
taking any action.
At least two Coloma firefighters, Randy Springer and
Robbie Bates, both verbally
resigned from the department
during the special Fire Board
meeting, with Springer saying,
"It's no longer fun. M
A third firefighter, Mike Tavolacci, reportedly left the department roster last week.
Prior to the start of the special
meeting, two separate petitions
submitted f r o m f i r e f i g h t e r s
alleging Chief Morris and Woodward with inadequately managing the department and requesting they be replaced by the Fire
Board.
The petition naming Chief Morris contained the signatures of 10
f i r e f i g h t e r s ; however, the
number of signatures was reduced to seven members after the
meeting. The petition naming
Woodward originally contained
six signatures and later was
reduced to three names.
A week earlier, a petition seeking the removal of Morris and
Woodward contained the names
of 14 members of the 30-member
department.
The grievances include allegations of reckless driving, not
meeting state training requirements, fire reports not being
done timely, misuse of department equipment, not giving out
copies of fire reports, instigating

CHURCH'S
100TH
ANNIVERSARY
By Cliff Stevens
Organizers for the 100th anniversary of the Twelve Comers
Community Church are seeking
photographs, programs and data
on the church, as well as seeking
former members of the church,
in preparation of the church's
Centennial Celebration.
Co-chairmen Donald Miller
and Arlene Augustyniak said the
Centennial Celebration of the
church will be held September 21,
beginning at 1:30 p.m., with a
special program.
An open house in the social hall
will follow from 3 to 5 p.m.
Both Miller and Augustyniak
have direct ties to the church's
beginning in 1896. Miller's grandfather, Theodore Bamum, and
Mrs. Augustyniak's great-uncle.
Miles Stanley, were among the
first members of the church and
helped in its construction.
Former church members having old photos or other items they
would like to have displayed at
the church's Centennial Celebration should call Miller at 84W)939
or Mrs. Joseph (Arlene) Augustyniak at 849-1276.

and if state fire reports are not

Collis said the situation prompted by the filing of the grievances
is "destroying the department
and hurting the Fire Board."
Another Board member, William Moser, said he felt none of
the grievances indicate any gross
negligence by Morris or Woodward.
Following the meeting, Chief
Morris said he had no comment
regarding the grievances filed by
the department personnel.
During the meeting, both Morris and Woodward explained the
circumstances of their involvement in the cited grievances.
Board members noted many of
the incidents noted in the
grievances have already come
before the Fire board for action
or discipline, if warranted.
At the special meeting, Fire
Capt. Ronald Fitz Jr. told the
Board he was very concerned
about the safety of the firefighters, noting, in his opinion,
the degree of safety for them has
declined over the past two years.
Fitz said he feels the department needs new leadership. According to Fitz, both City and
Township should be concerned
about liability should a firefighter be injured or killed.

After reviewing each of the
allegations during a three-hour
meeting, Board Chairman Marilyn Schultz divided the grievance
list among the sue Fire Board
members to review.
The Fire Board was formed in
the late 1980s to oversee the
operation of the Coloma Fire
Department; the department is
jointly owned by Coloma City and
Coloma Township.
Board member James Collis
told firefighters attending the
special meeting the accusations
in the grievances are not substantiated and some contain no dates
as to when the alleged incident
occurred.
Collis said he feels some of the
allegations should be looked into.

A VIEW FROM THE PULPIT
Submitted by Jerry Amstutz
A couple of weeks ago Julia
and I took our kids, David and
Rebecca, to Pleasure Island
where we had a delightful family
day.
Upon entering the park, we got
the kids used to water slides on
the kiddie rides before we went
on the several-story-tall Rampage Water Coaster, a 50-foot
slide that you ride down on a
toboggan-type sled that shoots
you across a lake at the bottom.
After it was all over, wide-eyed
eight-year-old David summed it
up well, "That was the moment
of my life."
There were other highlights
such as the Runaway River that I
teamed with David on a two-man
tube, while Becky rode with
Julia, because we didn't think
they were ready to do it by
themselves. There were the
speed slides that David loved and
the slower Corkscrew slides that
were more five-year-old Becky's
pace. There was the Twister that
was so fast and got you so wet
that Becky sat out, that David liked despite its almost making him
cry, that Daddy tolerated, and
that Mommy loved. And there
was the Black Hole that only
adventurous Julia dared to ride.
Why am I telling you all of
this? Because when you think
about it, life is a lot like Pleasure
Island. There are a lot of things

Hartford hires BH firm to seek
Renaissance zone status for
city revitalization projects
By Joe Cheshire
Hartford City Commission approved a $2,500 expenditure for
PCT of Benton Harbor to seek a
Renaissance qualification. The
Renaissance Zone qualification
would allow a business in the
qualified zone a tax abatement as
an incentive to build, start or
relocate in the area, with the
state of Michigan picking up the
tab on school tax.
The Commission, by a 4-2
margin, approved spending the
$2,500 and told Charles Eckenstahler of PCT to fill out the
necessary forms for submission
to the state. The deadline for filing is September 30. Voting in
favor of the expenditure were
commissioners Mike Banic,
Mark Keyser and Rhonda Fillmore and Mayor Ted Johnson.
Opposing the motion were commissioners Bill Mclaughlin and
lieo ("Bud") IxitiLs.
Eckenstahler said in his presentation to the Commission the
Renaissance Zone concept is a
new piece of legislation, sililar to
the TIF A and Enterprise programs of the past. It is a way of
attracting businesses to an area,
with tax deferments and abatements.
With nine available zones there
is no certainty that Hartford will
receive the designation, but
Eckenstahler felt with the annexed portion on the City's south side
having 1-94 exposure it would be
an attraction to some businesses.
The City also has a 23-acre
parcel, commonly referred to as
the Beeny property on the City's
southwest side, which has water
and sewer in place. Tiie qualification for bein^ considered a
Renaissance Zone is the area is
economically distressed.
Water and sewer would be high
on the list of requirements to a

I am no judge of Olympic
sports, but when it comes to mailboxes I have experience. Along
my walks around the lakes I look
at mailboxes. There are so many
individually beautiful homes on
each peninsula, remodeled cot
tages that I can no longer
recognize, gorgeous $200,000
mansions where once stood ramshackle remnants of the century's beginnings! I would hate to
have to evaluate these, as the tax
assessor or realtor might. But
about mailboxes I consider
myself something of an expert,
self-appointed.
On my first day's walk, the
gold medal winner was on the
northeast side of Newton, just
two doors away from Paw Paw
Lake Road. It was beautifully
flowered and gave sparks of color

along the way. The silver would
have to be divided between one
on Nelson Road and one on
Milnes, Little Paw Paw Lake,
which were each a light polished
wood with darker insets of birds
or deer. A similar one like that at
6981 Maple in Paw Paw Islands
would vie for the silver in that
area. But here I found several
which might rate the gold. The
most unique and individual was
at 4949 Maple Court. Painted

even this-one at 6934 and 6884
Paw Paw Avenue was a clever
twin affair, with two flower boxes
and deer and flying geese on each
mailbox as well. Probably the
most artistic of the flower box
decorations was off the beaten
track on the way into what we used to call Chicago Terrace, at
8612 Orchard. Here, hand-painted
grapes on the mailbox coordinated with purple flowers in a
flower container.
Another hand-painted box on
this same street made me think
that perhaps a neighborhood artist had been at work. The other
was at 8640, with a hand-painted
head of a deer looking at you
gently like Bambi. I've often
wondered why some young artist,
who wants practice and a summer job, might go door-to-door
and paint scenes, birds, or
flowers on mailboxes, charging a
reasonable amount, because the
one problem with decorated
mailboxes is that weathering
takes place fast and they might
have to be redone often. But
wouldn't it be a pretty neighborhood, with each mailbox an
artistic expression of something

was a box built in the shape of a

Two which seemed to be artistically

the Spencers took boarders in
their farm home back in 1888). At

and at 5397 the geraniums on the
mailbox repeated the geraniums
in the yard. Gold medals to both!
Another hand-painted box was
at 4756 Woodland in the Wil-OPaw area. It showed a scene, including water, woods and a horse
and buggy.

owl on the branch of a tree at 5765

But some of the most beautiful
homes, with lovely plantings at
their gates, are still accompanied by a rusty old mailbox.
I didn't do all this judging in
one day, of course,, and I'm sure I
missed some good ones; but one
of the days I ended with a swim at
Motto's Cottages and I noticed a
woman fishing on the end of the
pier. She actually caught one but
didn't seem to have the least idea
about getting hold of it and taking
it off the hook. It was swinging all
around. Then she called a man
sitting in a lawn chair on the
grass. He came immediately and
took the fish off her hook and
returned it to the water. After
baiting the hook for her, he
returned to his chair. As I came
out of the water, I remarked,

Eckenstahler said, "In my opinion, this is the only economic

would still have to provide
utilities; and he cautioned that
before setting a policy they needed to understand the competitive

standpoint, this is the only trick

The City has received an
estimate of $1.8 million to install
the water and sewer lines, which
will require a pump lifting station.
Eckenstahler warned the Commission that taxpayers not in the
Renaissance Zone could be forced to subsidize the operation with
a considerable tax base increase,
so the City officials would have to
gamble on its success or failure.
Eckenstahler also said if the
City received the designation it
would require a tremendous
amount of hard work on the part
of the (Commission and committee to put together a plan to entice businesses to the area.

CANCELS
MEETING ON
SEWER RATE
INCREASE
By Joe Cheshire
The public meeting to discuss
an increase in the sewer rates,
scheduled for Thursday, August
22, was cancelled by the City of
Hartford. No new meeting date
has been set.
The sewer rates have been the
topic of many heated debates at
City Hall, where citizens have
complained about the spiraling
rate increase.
A battle ensued last year with
the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR), which was
demanding the City increase the
rates charged to users, based on
water consumption, plus a user
fee, to cover the oversight of the
City not building in a maintenance fee at the inception of the
sewer plant 18 years ago.
After many long and often
heated debates, the DNR agreed
to a compromise that still saw a
rate increase. Consumers
responded by using less water,
which now has caused a shortfall
in revenues for sewer operations
and has prompted a request by
City Manager Fred Snider to the
City Commission for an additional rate increase to cover the
shortfall.
"We're not going to be popular
in this town but we'll have to hold
our nose and raise the rates,"
said Snider.

And throughout all the increases in the quality ot
patient care we
deliver, we're able
to accomplish
something as

incredible—we
lowered the cosi
lor that care.
On average, our charge
patient is 17 percent below the
national average for patients with the same diagnosis at other hospitals, according to the 1995 Atlas measurement
system.
In our minds, there was only one hospital that could
elevate our level of patient care: Borgess Medical Center—the
core of the Borgess Health Alliance.
So now the people of this area not only have a community
hospital known for us excellence in patient care, they have one
of the nation's leading medical centers. Pretty reassuring to
know that that many people are there to care tor you. And even
better, we actually have room for you.

Jeff Andresen, Michigan State

we experienced in that harvest,"
Andresen says.
Generally crops do quite well
^ a cool, moist growing season
but in some a r e a s of the state
growing conditions have been
C()0

smaller fruit sizes, small ears of
corn and
'
reduced overall yields.
" ^ s been a very difficult year
^or Michigan's agriculture
because of the extremes we have
experienced in the weather," Andresensays.
Should the jet stream alter its
P a ttern and allow warmer, drier
conditions to overflow in the state
^ r o m ^ e Southwest, it could help
some of the lagging crops; but it
is doubtful that enough heat units
could
be accumulated to bring
of
crops to physiological maturity.
But
there are no solid indications for fall's weather, Andresen
says.
"There aren't many features
right now, globally or hemispherically, that a meteorologist or
climatologist can really hang his
or her hat on and say this is probably what we are going to see,"
Andresen says.

Just because summer's again
fast on the wane is no reason for
the knowing angler to pack up
those fishing rods, lock up that
tackle box and put the old landing
net in dry-dock, awaiting the
coming year and the return of
top-drawer fishing. There's still
plenty of fine fishing fun on tap in
our state come the fall. Some
veteran Michigan anglers'll gladly tell you that autumn is the best
time for fishing all year.
In addition to superlative
salmon and steelhead angling in
the early fall, top-drawer action
awaits for small and largemouth
bass, walleye, yellow perch, northern pike, and a whole host of
other popular sportfish species.
The typical Michigan autumn brings a prolonged period of simply
great weather and equally great
fishing.

At its August 26 meeting, the
Coloma City Commission voted
to adopt three new ordinances
and set a hearing on three other
proposed ordinances.
Adopted by the Commission
were ordinances discussed at a
July 8 hearing allowing the Commission to grant special exception permits, similar to special
land use permits, and two ordinances establishing multiple
dwelling wording and district in
the City Limits.
The approved ordinances will
become effective in 20 days, according to Mayor Robert Wooley.
The Commission voted to hold
a public hearing on three other
proposed ordinances which were
first presented at the July hearing but, due to word changes,
must be brought back for new
hearings.
The ordinances to be aired at
7:45 p.m. September 9, outline
the procedures for reviewing
plans for new developments in
the City; banning the use of
skateboards and rollerblades in
the downtown business district
and cemetery; and establishing
the height and type of fencing
permitted in the City.
Coloma Commissioner Sven
Erickson, Chairman of the Ordinance Committee, said
because of strong opposition
voiced last month against a proposed ordinance regulating vending machines and the display of
goods on s i d e w a l k s in t h e
business district the ordinance
has been dropped from any further consideration.
Erickson added another controversial ordinance, placing a
total ban on all burning in the City, has also been dropped; however, Erickson suggested the
burning ban be considered for
placement on the ballot in the
November general election.
City officials will check with
election officials at the Berrien
County Clerk's office to determine the deadline for placement
of issues on the ballot.
Another ordinance dealing
with parking restrictions was
referred back to the committee
for further study.
In other areas, approval was
given to purchase $1,823 worth of
material to widen the southern
portion of the City Hall parking
lot.
Also approved was an agreement naming Young's Environmental to handle all spills of
hazardous materials in the City.
The agreement was sought by the
Coloma Joint Fire Board.
Mayor Wooley . said an ordinance will soon be introduced for
adoption which stipulates who
will be responsible for paying the
c o s t s of h a z a r d o u s w a s t e
material spills.
Commissioner Charles Owen,
commenting on the August 12
chase involving an alleged stolen
truck and City patrolman Jeff
Enders, said Enders followed
departmental policies and handled the incident professionally.
Owen, Chairman of the Police
Committee, said, "The Commission and the community support
him (Enders) for doing his job."

During its August 19 meeting,
e Coloma Township Planning
ommission expressed concerns
ver a planned 61-site addition to
e Ravine View Estates Manua c t u r e d Home C o m m u n i t y
ark.
Planning members questioned
'hether the proposed expansion
s properly zoned for mobile
omes.
If the zoning is not proper, the
wner of the mobile home park
'ould have to request a rezoning.
Marc Glova, President of Propest Ltd., of Garkston, Michigan. which owns the Ravine View
Estates development located at
5100 Uttle Paw Paw I ^ k e Road,
notified Coloma Township officials in early July that expansion, when completed, would bring the total number of mobile
home lots to 184.
The planned expansion will
contain larger mobile home sites
which exceed state standards.
Currently, the park has 123
units and the most recent expansion took place in the fall of 1993
when 28 new sites were added to
the park facility, which brought
the park's overall size to its current level of sites.
Sketches depicting where the
proposed expansion would be
located indicates the 61 units
would be east of the current
mobile home development near a
stocked pond.
In a letter sent to Township officials in late July, Glova informed them a 60Klay period during
which time their concerns should
be addressed would end September 11.
In order to clarify whether the
property is zoned properly,
Township planners requested

ICE CREAM
Supervisor Jack Page contact
Glova to resolve the unanswered
questions over the zoning.
In other a r e a s , Township
engineer Monte Stemaman told
planners he plans to unveil an updated sewer expansion proposal
at the Commission's September
meeting.
The plans will contain possible
areas where the Township sewerage lines could be extended,
mainly to heavily populated
areas where municipal sewer
lines are not currently available.
The overall expansion, expected to cost over $1.5 million, may
require a bonding proposal.

pursue an integrated plan which
coordinates all components of the
criminal justice system in the
ongoing battle against drugs and
drug-related crimes."
Berrien County received
$72,855 to advance its limited or
no plea bargaining project for
serious drug offenders. Through
a five-part tracking criteria
system, the county has been able
to reduce the demand for controlled substances through quick
and effective treatment.
"The money will help our law
enforcement officers better protect our communities and the
futures of our children," said
Gnodtke, R-Sawyer.

"The key to this grant is providing law enforcement personnel with the tools to do their jobs
more effectively," said Gast,
R-St. Joseph. "Drugs strike at
the heart of our communities, so
we must do everything we can to
reduce the severity of the problem. This grant is a solid step in
that direction."
The grant programs have been
in operation for 10 years. Funds,
awarded to ongoing projects that
have proven successful, a r e administered through Michigan's
Office of Drug Control Policy.

from last y e a r ' s JV t e a m .
Kolenko is a S'B" forward. Cartwright is a 5'6" guard, Martin is a
5'5" forward, and Megna is a 5'9"
center. At this point, Cartwright
is the leader of the four for a starting position.
There are two sophomores on
this year's team, Natalie DelaForet and Sarah Noble. DelaForet is a 5'10" center from the
JV team while Noble is a 5'5"
guard that also played JV ball
last year.
There is one freshman on this
year's team, 5'9" guard Krystle
Weeks. Coach Brigham says she
has been out with walking
pneumonia and they need to get
her back.
John Weber is the JV coach
again this year while Tom Sundberg has taken over freshman
coaching duties.
The I^ady Comets will participate once again in the Tri-County
Tournament along with South
Haven, Bangor, and Fennville.
Coloma will have played South
Haven o n Tuesday, August 27, at
Coloma. Then o n Thursday,
August 21), the two losers from
Tuesday will play in the consolation game at 5:30 p.m., with the
championship to be played at
7:00 p.m. It is Coloma's year to
host the tournament.
Coach Brigham figures that
I .akeshore should be the team to
beat, while Brandywine and
Dowagiac both should be tough.
There are four juniors on this
year's squad led by S ' l l " forward
Krissy Clark and 5 ' H " center/
forward Kristin Kays. Both girls
lettered last year and are expected to play m a j o r roles this
year. Two other juniors that are
JV products from last year include Mandy Yarbrough and
Sara Foster. Yarbrough is a 5'10"
center/forward while Foster is a
5'6" guard, and both need to
make a positive contribution to
help this team to be successful.
Three sophomores round out
the team, all with JV experience.
Amber Williams is a 5'8" forward and was one of the top JV
scorers last year. Sarah Newnum
is a 5'6" guard while Sarah
Foster is a 5'7" guard/forward.
Hartford does not play until
next Tuesday, September 3, when
the I^dy Indians will take on
I^wrence. It will be a home
game if the gym improvements
are finished. If not, the game will
be played at I^wrence.
Coach Evick feels the Red Arrow should be pretty tough again
this year, with Watervliet, New
Buffalo, Gaiien, and Bridgman
all tough. If a few people step it
up, the I^ady Indians could also
be a factor.
Wally Traver is the JV coach.

Hartford coach Dave Evick is
not considered a rookie anymore
since he is starting his second
season at the helm. But that's not
to say his rookie season was bad;
he posted a 14-fl record. That was
good enough for third place in the
Red Arrow, and I'm sure he
would like to build on that.
Hartford has three seniors on
this year's team, all back from
last year Katie Newnum is a 5'6"
point guard that returns to handle those duties. Arianne Cardenas is a 5'7" forw ard that played
a big role last year, while Laura
Colegio ( 5 ' 6 " ) moves into the offguard position.

E v e r y o n e k n o w s how
important it is to properly
time your archery outfit a n d
probably most of us do a
pretty good joh of it - once.
However, keeping your comp o u n d in t u n e a n d y o u r
whole oullit in balance is a n
ongoing process.
Once you've got il right,
record tiie critical m e a s u r e ments
ot y o u r
original
p a i n s t a k i n g t u n e up a n d
check y o u r oullit on a regular
basis. Use a bow s q u a r e to
properly set y o u r n o c k i n g
point a n d b r a c e height.
Measure the position of y o u r
peep sight and arrow rest.
Use a bow scale to check your
draw weight regularly. Keep
limb bolts a n d sight p i n s
tight. (Selecting a bow sight
with a s t r o n g m o u n t a n d a
s t u r d y pin g u a r d is a great
idea in the tirst place!)
A slight slippage ol only a
fraction ol an inch in any of
your out tit 's critical dimensions can throw your arrow
group way off. There is plenty
ol" challenge in b o w h u n t i n g
without adding the difficulty
of an out-ot-tune rig.

M i c h i g a n ' s m a j o r hunting
seasons will soon be here but
there is still time to get in some
• plinking" practice with a .22 rifle or pistol to make sure you can
still shoot straight. Or, maybe
you would rather punch holes in
u r g e t s with your big bore rifle or
bust clay pigeons with the scattergun.
There a r e no closed seasons on
bull's-eyes or tossed clays, even
if you don't do any actual hunting. One doctor friend never did
go hunting, yet he got a lot of enjoyment out of roaming the
woods and plinking at a variety of
targets. He said it was a form of
relaxation for him and he got a
real bang out of it.
Plinking or shooting at stationary targets can be enjoyed
almost anywhere, although it is
mostly done at one of the sportsmen's clubs with a rifle range or
sporting clays course. Shooting Ls
never really safe near heavilypopulated areas and some places
it is prohibited by law, so use
common sense.
Best locations when using a .22
or a high-powered rifle is where
there a r e nearby hillsides. An
abandoned gravel pit, for example, can make a fine spot to shoot
in complete safety. One of my
f a v o r i t e s for c a s u a l t a r g e t
shooting is at a friend's farm, lie
has bulldozed up a big bank of
dirt on an otherwise flat area and
it serves as a perfect backstop to
bullets of any size.
The sport of plinking is merely
an informal kind of shooting at
targets, generally with a .22. A
row of small, discarded articles
are placed on a board, box, or log
in front of a hillside or other safe
place. They can furnish a lot of
entertainment for a shooter as
they are "plinked" or broken
when hit.
Nearly any kind of target can
be used, including small blocks of
wood, clods of hard dirt, chunks
of coal, clam shells or other
small, breakable objects. One
target, already too much of a
favorite, is best avoided. Bottles
can be very dangerous targets,
even if they do break with a shattering, satisfying sound. Stones
are poor marks too.
Both bottles and stones will, at
times, cause bullets to ricochet
and a glancing bullet is nothing to
fool with. Using either as a target
will not only endanger the
shooter but any nearby spectators.
Shooting at moving targets is
also fun. These can be provided
by hanging small objects in front
of a backstop and putting them
into motion like a pendulum. It is
mighty good practice once you
get the hang of it.
Shooting at objects tossed into
the air should never be done with
a .22. Even the "little" .22 short
slug is capable of earn, ing a mile
if shot into the air at the right
angle. You have no way of knowing where it will come down. For
aerial targets use a shotgun.
