Tri-City Area has rtore than one siren sources
What do those sirens mean?
Is it a fire, nuclear accident
or attack, a weather alert?
Ky Angela Stair
What do those sirens mean? The
Tri-City Area has two sources of
sirens, local fire departments and
the Palisades Nuclear Plant siren
system that is spread out in a 10mile radius of the Covert plant.
Watcrvliet and Coloma are within
Palisades' 10-mile radius, so the
local fire departments only have to
use their sirens for fire. Severe
weather and enemy or nuclear alerts
would be sounded on the Palisades
system.
£
Mark Savage, spokesman for
Palisades, said that the Covert Fire
Department, Van Buren County
S h e r i f f s Office, or South ilaven
Police could activate the 58 sirens if
an emergency situation arose. He
said they also watch the radar and
could use the sirens.
Savage said the sirens are tested
monthly on the second Saturday of
the month. This is a 30-second test
with an up-and-down wail.
Hartford has part of the Township
in the Palisades lU-mtle radius; but
the City o f Hartford is not, so the
Hartford Police department sets off
sirens for fire, severe weather and
enemy or nuclear alerts.
Hartford's Director of Emergency
Management, Pete Sinclair, explained that, although the Fire
Department has to set o f f the sirens,
they are basically the same everywhere.
A short up-and-down wail indicates a fire.
A steady siren for three minutes or
more indicates an alert (tornado,
severe weather, or nuclear or enemy
attack) and you should tune your
radio to the Emergency Broadcast
stations for this area. There you will
hear what the alert is and what you
should do. Our Emergency Broadcast stations are COSY AM 940 or
FM 98.3.
The sirens at the local fire
departments also go off at noon,
during the lunch hour and at 6:00
p.m., the dinner hour. This is a short
blast that lasts for 30 seconds.
Sinclair added these safety precautions and definitions for thunderstorms and tornadoes.
•
Watch—Conditions arc favorable for the development of
severe weather.
•
W a m i n g - A severe thunderstorm or tornado has been
observed
or
indicated
on
weather radar.
Severe
thunderstorms produce
strong, damaging winds, large hail,
heavy ram, and deadly lightning.
Lightning is one of the single worst
killers, so stay indoors. If caught
outdoors, seek shelter but avoid
towers or tall trees. If swimming or
boating, get out of the water as
quickly as possible.
Tornadoes are nature's most violent storms, Sinclair said. There are

Dr. Liebenthal has served on the
Hartford School District Board of
Education since February 1991. He
is presently serving as Vice President of the Board. He has put in
countless hours of volunteer work at
the school and through his church
affiliation.
Central America and Mexico have
benefited from his charity work. He
has gone for his church, the Agape
Christian Church of Kalamazoo, on
several mission trips to help those
less fortunate and who otherwise
would not have dental work done.
But his generosity has also extended
to many local people who could not
afford to have dental work done.
Dr. Liebenthal has volunteered
many hours on the Miss Hartford
Float for the Blossometime Parade
and helped with the designing of
sets and scenery for local plays and
pageants. For his church, he has
taught Sunday school, helped w ith
the youth kayaking and canoeing
adventures, and worked on the
Building Committee for the new
Family Life Center.
Nancy Larson, who wrote the
Lions Club nomination letter, said.
"As a community, we should be
proud of Dr. Liebenthal and all that
he does for our community, our
citizens and our children."
Hartford United Methodist Church
nominated Bonita Markillie. Bonita
is Pastor Ron Hansen's Administrative Assistant. She is married to
Paul Markillie and has two children.
Bonita started early to be a contributor to the community. She
worked on the first Hartford
Ambulance Service. Then, for many
years, she worked in the Central
Office of Hartford Public Schools.
She took an early retirement so she
could devote her time and skills to
the service of her church.
Cooperative Ministries is a groilp
of churches from the Hartford area
that gathers food, clothing, and
money for the needy. The food and
clothing are housed at Hartford
United Methodist Church and the
group dispenses the items when
someone is in need. Bonita is in
charge of seeing to the needy and
puts in many extra hours.
Pastor Hansen wrote the letter of
nomination
and
said. "Bonita
represents the best of the community. It doesn't matter if it is large or
small, she is always there to help;
and much of her work is done
'behind the scenes' where the
public is not aware of the good
work she does for the community.
Her humility should be recognized."

In my eyes, my mother ("Marian

friend, and grandmother that a
daughter could ever want and ask
for.
For the simple reasons listed, I am
nominating my mother, "Marian
McKeown," as the "Best Mom."
A) From birth until becoming an
adult, my mother has always
allowed me to make my
mistakes and to learn and
grow from each one that I
made and still make, without
guilt or looking down on me
and to, most importantly,
teach me that I have to learn
from my mistakes so 1 know
not to repeat them in the
future.
B) My mother, "Marian McKeown," has always provided
love, support, and unconditional understanding in my

"It seems few truly understand
how precious this type of support is
to our men and women in uniform,"
American Legion National Commander Ronald F. Conley said. "As
veterans of past wars, we remember
the letters, care packages, and cards
of encouragement that kept us going
as we fought thousands of miles
from home. Now is the time for
every American, veteran or not, to
play a role in boosting the spirits of
those who defend our Constitution
and our way of l i f e - e v e n at the
expense of theirs.
"May it never be said we are an
ungrateful nation."

Judy Bums was the Watervliet
Middle School Principal for many
years but was forced to retire for
health reasons, due to her heart
condition, in January 2000. She has
since had a heart transplant.
Before coming to Watervliet to be
the Middle School Principal in
1991, Judy had lived with her
husband. Rex, in Washington, D.C.,
where he worked in the Pentagon.
Before that, they had lived in
Coldwater where they raised their
two daughters. Connie and Stacie.
B u m s ' story began in October
1998 when she had an angiogram
after having chest pain and a near
fainting spell. A blockage was
discovered and a stent was used to
open the artery. B u m s said the next
day a clot had formed in the stent
and caused a major heart attack.
Bums went back to work part time
and then increased t o full time as
W M S Principal. In October 1999,
her cardiologist. Dr. Kuhnlein. sent
her to the University of Michigan's
Congestive
Heart
Failure
and
Transplant Clinic. At the Clinic, the
testing and evaluation revealed not
only the damage that had been done
by the heart attack but also revealed
a pre-existing heart condition called
"cardiomyopathy" that had been undiagnosed previously.
Bums said. "The decision to retire
was not easy because of the new
school, but living had advantages
for me." Her last day at work was
November 16. 1999, and she
officially retired on January I,
2000. During this lime. Bums said
she was able to maintain her life
through medication and rest.
In April 2001, she and her husband
sold their home and moved into
their fifth-wheel trailer until iheir
new home could be built in Linden,
Michigan, where they now live.
Bums said the move brought them
closer to family and U of M.
In May 2001, she had a severe bout
of congestive heart failure and was
hospitalized.
After a discussion with her
cardiologist. Dr. John Nicklas, the
long testing and evaluation to
become a possible heart transplant
recipient began. The many tests that
were done were to gather information on her other major organs and
systems.
Bums said, "Having a physical
was the easiest part. 1 had to have
many different tests, from lung
function to a dental checkup and a
visit with the thoracic surgeon who
would perform the transplant "
Her tests had begun in June and by
October 2001 her case was taken to
the transplant committee lo see if
she met the necessary criteria. She
was listed on October 4, 2001.
On that same day, she was
hospitalized with an erratically
rapid heartbeat that resulted in the
implantation
of
a
pacemaker/
defibrillator. Her heart was having
difficulty in maintaining strength to
force blood through her organs.
In the spring of 2002, she again
had a major bout of congestive
heart failure and was hospitalized.
She spent two weeks in ICU at the
top of the transplant list, which is
the length of time you can remain at
the top of the list. A heart that
matched her blood type and size
had not been found, so they decided
to implant a Left Ventricle Assist
Device (LVAD).
The recovery from this thoracic
surgery was long and difficult.
Bums and her husband had to leam
to clean and change the dressing for
the drive line site. They had to leam
how to change back and forth from
the base power unit that had a 12foot cord to two batteries. Each
battery weighed two pounds and is
wom in a shoulder hamess. She
needed someone with her constantly
and she had to live with being in the
end stage of heart failure.
"This was a very difficult period
for me, but even more so for my
husband. Rex, who may as well
have been tethered to me by a 12foot cord." Bums said. "Being the
g 0 0 ^ guy that he is, he hung in
there. 1 guess that was the worse
part o f ' f o r better or worse.'"
Her heart transplant took place on
October 13, 2002. She said she was
one of the fortunate 29 that received
transplants at the University of
Michigan in 2002. Bums was
discharued 10 days later.
"Even before being listed, we
attended a transplant support group
meeting. We found the people to be
most helpful and friendly. 1 learned
about many things that I would
experience before, during, and after
the transplant. Many of those in
attendance were many years out
from their heart transplant birth-

This is the first day of May in this
brand new month. It is also a very
special month of the year because of
the color and the beauty it provides.
This is w hen all of the blooms come
alive from their winter's nap. To
live in Southwest Michigan at this
time of year is the best. We do have
all the color, with the beautiful trees
and the flowering trees and plants.
As 1 drove down the street in Coloma on Friday, 1 was amazed to see
the beautiful blooming trees on
Main Street. The whole town has a
soft white glow. The trees have not
been in too long but they still provide so much depth with the blooming flowers.
Along all of the streets in the area
you can see the flowering magnolias or the tulip trees as someone
calls them. They are so great. I especially love them when those
beautiful flowers began to drop and
the whole area under the tree is pink
and white.
Of c o u r s e after the many months
of no color, only white and shades
of gray, these brand new spring
colors really give the eye a blast of
reality. I be tulips and the daffodils
and the rest of the spring bounty
give us so much to look at in all of
the yards.
I have to admit that is the one
thing I was a little envious about
this last time Mom and I went out to
California... the wonderful flowers
days, which has given me hope and
encouragement," Bums said.
"My physical recovery has gone
remarkably well," Bums said.
She said there are three major
concems (physically). One is the
development of some type of cancer
because of the weakened immune
system or the development of an
infection that overcomes the immune system and doesn't respond to
treatment. The third is organ
rejection that cannot be controlled
or stopped
Rejection is determined by doing a
heart biopsy. Inserting a catheter in
the right neck vein and feeding it
into the heart is how a heart biopsy
is performed. They are done weekly
at first, then biweekly, once a
month, six weeks, and then two
months to six months and then, to
those far out from transplant, they
get yearly biopsies.
As a transplant person. Bums says
she must be especially vigilant of
her health and she is constantly
washing her hands. She takes her
medication religiously, watches her
diet, exercises, and gives thanks,
"Gaining strength and confidence
in what I can do again has been the
most difficult part of the recovery,"
Bums said. "For over 18 months, 1
was never alone. I was not allowed
to drive, go shopping alone, or do
all the things we take so for granted.
"I am excited about going grocery
shopping, cooking, playing with our
grandson and, as I reach my sixmonth anniversary, being able to
get in our travel trailer and just go."
She added, "I have not felt this well
in many, many years. I do not really
know how a 59-year-old should
feel, but this is wonderful."
Judy Bums has not met her
donor's family yet but has sent a
letter to them through the Gift of
Life. Eventually meeting them
could be a possibility.

The American Legion, responding
to increasing public interest, unveiled a new section of its Internet
Web site this week that answers the
question: "How can I support our
men and women in uniform.?
Visitors to www.leuion.org should
simply click the "Support Our
Troops" link to find an array of
ways to reach out to U.S. service
members and their families, prayer,
volunteer opportunities, blood donations, and scholarship contributions.
The American Legion's Family
Support Network is a key program
providing crucial aid to spouses and
children of military personnel.
Through the Family Support Network. local Legion posts adopt military families by helping pay bills
and providing cbildcare and other
services.
Looking to the future, the American Legion Sept. l l , h Memorial
Scholarship Fund is being funded to
ensure the children of active-duty
service members killed following
Sept. 11, 2001. including Operation
Iraqi Freedom, will have an opportunity for higher education.

them all year around. I wonder... if
we had them 12 months out of the
year, would we begin to lake them
lightly?
I was beginning to get eyestrain
from staring at the wonders of their
gardens. Everywhere one would
look there was something else more
wonderful to look at. And all the
time I was wondering what it was
like at home and do we have more
snow? And guess what, folks? We
did. and that made getting back a
small disappointment
1 had the same feeling the time we
drive to Florida in the winter. I had
such a great time looking at all of
the flowers and the beautiful gardens; and once we hit Indianapolis.
Indiana, on the return trip home, we
also hit the snow and the cold and
the blowing. We had even planned
to stop for one last night, but when
we hit the cold we gave it the
Michigan symbol for home and
drove straight through.
Any way, this is my "May basket"
to all of you. May you all have the
time to stop and enjoy those beautiful blooms; and if you cannot grow
them yourselves. 1 am sure the local
florists and gardeners will be glad to
help you have blooms in y our life.
Hopefully, with the coming of
May is also improving spirits and
the end of the war and winter blahs.

Rolling Back the Years
The Paw Paw River Journal
In the Toils of the Law!
The only Mantbrdite I know of
who was the subject of a five-state
police search was a mild-mannered
citizen of an inventive mind and
possessing a keen sense of humor.
His name... Lloyd Blyly. He was
the owner and proprietor of Riverview Dait and Equipment out north
of town on our own pristine Paw
Paw River. Son Larry and Wife
Lois, who are friends of ours, still
run the business to this day. The
story of
how
Lloyd
became
enmeshed in the toils of the law
follows:
The Blyly family is descended
from a long line of very independent thinkers. Quakers, they came
from the Carolinas and settled in the
Cassopolis area, where they were
actively involved before the Civil
War in the Underground Railroad.
I his was a clandestine organization
that helped poor slave families to
escape bondage in the South and
attain freedom.
Larry told me that when he was a
child his family used to visit
relatives in the Cassopolis area,
particularly his Dad's Aunt Cynthia
Keyscr, who lived in Elkhart,
Indiana. Living with her was her
Mom. Sarah Jane Segerfoos (I love
that name).
Now the Blyly family owned a
series of cars that were notable for
giving out on long trips... one was a
Whippet, as Larry recalls. The road
between Dowagiac and Cassopolis
was hilly and curvy... a desolate
area. Larry 's Mom, Mary, was a
careful soul. She dreaded the trip in
an unreliable car, so she suggested

they borrow her Dad's new Plymouth.
Mary, descended from an old
Hartford family, the Millers, was a
determined person in her own right.
She gave piano lessons in their
home. Generations of pupils still
enjoy the fruits of her teaching...
including her own son, Larry, who
plays in local Rig Hand groups,
including the Hartford Alumni All
Stars.
Her Dad was a local dealer in
butter, eggs, and other dairy
products. Anthony Miller generously let them use the new car for their
trip. And thus they embarked on
their journey.
Upon arrival, Lloyd said he
wanted to go downtown and visit
his old friends from former days
when he lived in the area. So he
did... parking the new Plymouth in
downtown Llkhart. After searching
out some of his old buddies, he got
in the new car to return to his
Aunt's, where they were staying.
On the way home, he stopped at a
gas station and filled the tank for
their return to Hartford. The
attendant commented on the line
new Chrysler Lloyd was driving.
The family ate supper with Aunt
Cynthia and Grandma Sarah. Afterwards, Lloyd allowed as to how
he'd better go out and bring in their
overnight luggage from the car.
When he did so, he was ama/ed to
find the trunk was empty. He called
Mary in alarm. When she came out,
she looked at the automobile and
said in horror, "Oh, Lloyd, this is
not Pop's Plymouth... it is a
Chrysler!"
Lloyd hopped into the seat and
drove back downtown, cringing at
the sight of every policeman he met.
Driving directly to the police
station, he walked in and slumped
in a chair. Police gave him a glass
of water. Revived, the Hartford man
gasped, "I have a car that doesn't
belong to me!" Then he unfolded
his story. Meanwhile, the police had
broadcast the theft of the car. owned
by an Elkhart salesman, over five
stales, and a three-hour search had
been in progress.
Lloyd found his father-in-law's car
right where he had parked it. When
the story later circulated around

C o d y ' s favorite subjects in school

The four-sided wall stands two and

City of Coloma Ordinance
Committee to review speed limit
By Ami H e n d r i c k s o n
The City of Coloma Ordinance
Committee will meet on Tuesday,
May 6. to discuss several issues that
were raised at the Commission
meeting on Monday, April 28.
Among the matters lo be discussed
are the 25-miles-per-hour speed
limit at the City l imits on Coloma
Road. Commissioner Sue Dahlquist
wants the limit raised.
"It's the biggest speed trap. I'm
embarrassed by il," Dahlquist said.
"The speed limit is so far out of
town. It's a crock. People in that
cemetery aren't going to come out
on the road."
Coloma Chief of Police Kenneth
Gustafson argued that raising the
speed limit would just encourage
people lo speed.
"I've caught people doing 55 or 60
coming up the hill." Gustafson said.

"They're doing 72 down by Harriet

Dahlquist agreed that such speeds
were excessive but maintained "25
is ludicrous. It's wrong, just
wrong."
Dahlquist referred to speed limits
of 35 mph within the City I imits of
Hartford and Watervliet. Gustafson
said that those two cities don't have
the traffic that Coloma does.
" W e ' v e got enough speeders
Gustafson said. "We don't need to
raise the limit."

n i g h t c r a w l e r
Spring rains, pouring down in
torrents, often produce streams
running high and muddy. While this
is the worst thing thut could happen
to the purist tly fisherman, it can be
a source of delight for those who
prefer to do their fishing with live
bait. In fact, it can create a new
hunting s e a s o n - f o r nightcrawlers.
these king-si/ed worms, sometimes called dew worms and nightwalkers. can look like a real feast to
a hungry trout or nearly any other
game fish. I or that reason, all good
bait shops make sure they carry a
dependable stock of crawlers and
other kinds of worms used for
fishing.
During normal weather, nightcrawlers do what their name
indicates. Unless they ground gets
ver> dry, they come up out of their
burrow after dark to fee on lush
lawns and mate to assure a
continuing population. Watering a
lawn can create favorable conditions most of the time but a heavy
downpour of rain can threaten them
with drowning. That can create a
bonanza of opportunity for any
fisherman who wants to take advantage of it, then.
On most, normal nights, these big
worms, some nearly a foot long,
will just emerge part way from their
burrows. Fhey leave their rear ends
solid!) anchored in the ground as a
protective measure. Nightcrawler
hunters soon leam this and use extra
care in approaching and t n i n g to
capture them in the beam of a dim
flashlight. Although the\ probably
o f f e r
l o t s
o f
h u n t i n g
can't really see, a bright light
quickly spooks them and their
amazing rear gear can whip them
completely out of sight and to the
safety of their ground hole.
Just as is the case with trout in
small streams, nightcrawlers are
also repelled by vibrations. For this
reason, they should be approached
with care. Some crawler hunters put
a sheet of red plastic over their
flashlights to cut down on the
warning glare. If the light is too
bright, it should quickly be moved
off the intended target and shined
off to the side. Make any kind of
error, though, and your quarry will
vanish so fast you may not even be
sure a crawler was there in the first
place.
If everything is done right and you
grab one of these big worms, make
sure you catch it by the right end.
Make an error and it will slide right
out of your fingers and disappear
down the hole to safety. A beginning nightcrawler hunter usually
needs a bit of education before
becoming successful in this kind of
fascinating night activity. I he worm
must be grabbed fast but not so tight
or pulled so hard as to make it break
to where the rear half will zip out of
sight, leaving only the front end.
Done correctly, the worm is held
firmly and only worked out of its
burrow as it seems to relax enough
to be pulled out entirely.
As nightcrawler hunters get older,
the) begin to realize their backs do.
too. Where a kid may engage in
crawler hunting for an hour or two.
an older back will soon let you
know the difference. The only cure
for such a backache may be to just
give up this night sport and buy
your bait from a dealer, A few
successful do-it-yourselfers may
extend their crawler hunting days
by just crawling along on their
knees and maybe wearing some
rubber protection to keep from
getting too wet.
Best of all is to get one of those
huge rain storms, then hurry to take
advantage of the big worms. They
will be completely out of their
burrows and can often be scooped
up by the hundreds, providing bait
all summer if kept in the right, cool
container-not our home refrigerator
where they may escape. Wives tend
to get rather wrathy when that
happens!

Paw Paw Lake Almanac
By Dela\un Sipes
Spring is springing all about us.
Orchards are becoming colorful,
trees are finally beginning to leaf
out and the days are glorious in
southwestern Michigan, except that
our farmers need rain.
What do you call those pretty little
spring flowers, grown from bulbs,
with six petals and a trumpet-like
cup? Ihey come in white ranging
through cream and yellow to pink,
red and orange, if you said narcissus, you're right.
Some of them have a small cup;
some have double flowers with
more than one layer of petals.
Of the many narcissi, some have a
cup longer or shorter than the petals
and have two to six fragrant
flowers per stem. These narcissi are
often called jonquils.
I he lake is quite high, marked at
6 2 2 3 feet (622 feet 3.48 inches).

The leeches are muscular, flat

They have two suckers on the
bottom, one in front and one in the
rear. Ihey have many similar
segments arranged in a row with no
specialized regions.
Finally, there are the flat worms
which are soft, flat from top to
bottom, and elongate. All areas are
almost alike, with no individual
segments or specialized regions.
These creatures tend to be into

Area track results
1 call eight varsity baseball and
softball coaches alone every week
and have made numerous attempts
to work out something over the
years with area track coaches.
I hey say that they forget or give
me a host of other reasons, but tne
point is the kids suffer because
somehow 1 usually do not get much.
1 know most of them and they are
good people but, if it gets in the
other daily newspaper, how much
more trouble would it be to send
one more fax to the Tri-City Record
office?
1 read about the Watervliet Relays
in the daily newspaper. Otherwise, 1
would not even have known about
them. I am not picking on Watervliet, but that is just one example.
So 1 just wanted to let track parents know why they will not be seeing much in the way of track results
until they let their coaches know
they want their results sent to the
local paper as well.

tween the tables. A large bucket
was hung from the midpoint of the
deck of the bridge and weight was
added to the bucket until the bridge
collapsed or until the bridge held
110 pounds. Half of the bridges
entered held the weight, while the
others collapsed.
The bridge entered by Frank Wittorp, a seventh-grader, won the
strongest bridge category. His
bridge weighed 54.88 grams (1.9
ounces) and held 50 kg. (110
pounds) without breaking. The
strength/weight ration of the bridge
was 91 L l ; or the ability to hold up
911 times its own weight. This set a
new record for the strongest bridge
ever entered in the contest.
Faith Lutheran School is located at
6764 Paw Paw Avenue in Coloma.

By Angela Stair
Linda Castle, Hartford Postmaster,
decided to have a "Jellybean
Guessing Contest" for her patrons
and give a prize. A youth and an
adult each won a basket for being
the closest ones to guessing how
many jellybeans were in a jar.
"I could not believe how much fun
people had with it," Postmaster
Castle said. " W e are planning to
have a 'Monthly Birthday Drawing.' The prize will be a sheet of
stamps that say 'Happy Birthday.'"
Castle said they filled the baskets
themselves. They gathered items
they sell in the post office, such as
note cards, mailing labels and postal
supplies for the adult basket; and
note cards, post office coloring
books, and crayons for the youth
basket. Clerk Sandra Dimas put the
baskets together, finishing off with
stuffed rabbits for both.
The contest was to guess how
many jellybeans were in a jar that
was sitting on the desk in the post
office. There were two categories,
adult and youth. Castle said the
youth winner was 7-year-old Carrissa Ward of Hartford and the adult
winner was 20-year-old Virginia
Resendez of Hartford.
Postmaster Castle said, "I was
surprised how close Virginia came,
There were 583 jellybeans in the jar
and she missed it by only one. She
guessed 582."
Mother's Day sift ideas and Best Mom Contest prizes
Frank Wittorp, a student at Faith
Lutheran in Coloma, entered the
contest.
The rules of the contest were to
construct the lightest bridge that
would support 110 pounds, using
wooden Popsicle sticks and water
soluble glue only. Bridges had to be
wide enough for a matchbox type
car to cross and long enough to span
two tables placed 16 inches apart.
At the contest, the bridges were
weighted first and then placed be-
