A seventeen-month investigation
into Illegal Drug Trafficking ended
Tuesday morning in Berrien CountyAuthorization on 272 warrants on
178 people for Controlled Substance
violations was sought and authorized during this investigation. The arrest warrants were issued by the
Berrien County Prosecutor's staff,
and authorized by the Berrien County Fifth District Court judges.
Arraigned Tuesday were:
Kathleen Marie Byers of Benton
Harbor who was arrested for
delivery of marijuana and held on
$5,000 bond on each of 4 different
counts.
Petition language ruling due Friday
Recall threat draws response
from Watervliet Twp. Board
Watervliet Township officials
have formally responded to a recall
petition of a resident who claims the
Board is not acting in the interest of
its constituents.
Robert Morlock has submitted a
petition to the County Clerk's office
seeking the recall of the entire
Township Board. Morlock claims
the Board members did not act in
the best interest of the Township in
setting up a pension plan for
themselves.
When pension plan discussions
were underway last fall, Morlock
presented the Board with a petition
opposing the plan with more than
200 signatures on it. He pledged he
would seek the recall of the entire
Board if it implemented the plan.
In a Letter to the Editor in last
week's Record, Morlock said the
adoption of the pension plan at the
Township annual meeting in March
caused him to seek the recall.
Morlock told the Record Tuesday
afternoon the County Election
Board would rule on the language of
his recall petition. He said, "If the
language of the petition is unacceptible to the Board, I'll change it and
re-submit j t . "
The Township Board's response
to Morlock's recall campaign and
its explanation of the pension plan
follows.
The Watervliet Township Board
approved the Pension Plan Ordinance //55 under the provisions of
Public Act 27 of 1960, effective
August 17, 1989. This is an "Act
authorizing townships to establish
retirement systems, and make contracts of group insurance and arrangements with prepayment plans
for the benefit of its elected or appointed officers and employees; to
provide for the deduction of con-
t r i b u t i o n s f r o m o f f i c e r s and
employees compensation; and to
permit the exercise of the authority
granted without the necessity of a
charter amendment." It also states
under Michigan Compiled Laws
41.901 the Board may "contract
with any such company granting
annuities or pensions for the pens i o n i n g of the o f f i c e r s a n d
Twp. Trustee pans
recall election attempt
see letter on page 2
employees, and for such purposes
may pay any part of the premiums
or charges for such insurance,
prepayment plan coverage, annuities, or pensions." This matter is
quoted from Michigan Compiled
Laws of 1970, Book 1.
The Township has not established
a precedent relative to approving
this pension plan as there are ten
(10) townships in Berrien County
that have adopted the MTA pension
plan with Burnham & Flowers in
the 1960s and 1970s, and probably
others, however, with a different insurance company or financial institution.
The pension program is affordable within the average $350,000
annual Township budget, as its cost
is less than 5% of the budget figure.
THERE IS NO TAX INCREASE
(millage) to implement this program. The continuing Township
services and programs, i.e., new
roads, park and beach maintenances, etc., will still be rendered.
It is a well-known fact that if
townships are to continue to keep
their experienced personnel, attract qualified new employees, and
be competitive with industry, they
must provide comparable benefits
We Asked You..
for their employees, and elected officials. Everyone including the
federal, state, and county government, cities and villages are deeply
involved in pension plans. Township
officials and employees are as
deserving as a congressman, legislator, teacher, postal employee,
doctor, or a laboring man. It is felt
justification to this pension program is definitely substantial.
Clarification should be made to
Mr. Morlock's statement regarding
extra pay for duties to Bujack and
Youdell as he mentioned those
duties were part of a former
Township Supervisor. The former
Supervisor prior to 1984 held positions of Supervisor, Building Inspector, Zoning Administrator and
Sewer Inspector and received a
salary in excess of $20,000.00 a year.
It was also mentioned by Mr.
Morlock that he opposes Township
officials setting their own pay and
economic benefits. Michigan Compiled Law 41.95 authorizes a
General Law Township Board to
determine salaries. Watervliet
Township has now established a
compensation committee effective
November 1989 to review salaries,
sick leave, vacation and recommend to the Board for action accordingly.
It is hoped that everyone reading
this article is being considered for a
pension or is receiving benefits of
this nature that have been provided
in the past by an astute management group thinking of an individual's future welfare.
In today's society to maintain a
quality style of living for our
children and grandchildren benefit
programs must be offered and
available to provide retirement
security.

Voters nix
tax increase
for Watervliet
Schools, oka
renewal mi
By Sandy Deyne
Voters in the Watervliet School
District on Monday approved the
21.5 mill renewal while defeating
the 2.5 additional millage requested
by the Board of Education with 916
of t h e a p p r o x i m a t e l y 3,000
registered voters casting their
ballots.
The renewal of the 21.5 operating
mill currently in operation was approved by a marcin of 614 to 302.
This millage would have expired by
the beginning of the 1990-1991 school
year.
The 2.5 additional millage increase was requested to implement
plans for improvments in the school
system but was defeated 569 to 344.
During the Board of Education
meeting Monday evening, School
Board member Dennis Churchill
stated that he had thought "the 2.5
mill additional would lose by a bigger gap because of the property tax
increase" due to the assessment
changes recently received by property owners.
The School Board had requested
these two proposals to follow

Committee to work on needed improvements in the school district.

We sure had a busy weekend with
another birthday to celebrate.
March is our killer month when it
comes to birthdays. In our family
alone, we celebrate three. Mind
you, we think they are three very
nice people, but sometimes the
organization gets away from this
mother and wife.
The grand finale of Bayer birthdays was this past weekend. We
celebrated Karl's. On Sunday he
was the man of the hour, and
everyone made it home to spend a
day eating and giggling. I went to
church on Saturday night because I
knew that Sunday would be a busy
one.
I left late Sunday, because of the
time change, to pick up Justin in
Kalamazoo and arrived home in
time to have the entire gang for
breakfast. Now, don't get me
wrong, the Birthday Boy cooked a
beautiful breakfast...but I still had
a heap of cleanup. Thanks to Gillian, who worked on the washing,
the job went a lot faster.
Immediately after breakfast and
dishes we started supper. We decided to have a boiled dinner. We make
ours with beef or with corned beef
or ham; this time we opted for corned beef, everyone's favorite.
At our house the person having
the special day picks the meal and
so Mr. Bayer wanted his favorite,
corned beef with all the fixings.
Bfefore we could put the meat on to
boil, the cake had to be made and, of
course, it had to chocolate with
Dutch chocolate frosting.
Since most of us do not live in the
same house anymore, it is such fun
to all get together. There is so much
to talk about, and usually the cards
and the gifts give us all something
to laugh about.
Justin is the best card-getter in
the house. They are always clever
and cute. This year Amy tried to
outdo him. In fact, she thought their
card was so funny she hated to give
it up. So did we all.
As we get older we all realize it's
not the gift or the size but the
thought and, in some cases, it is
such a surprise to receive gifts from
someone you had not even expected
to remember.
The one thing I did realize as I
toppled into bed Sunday night is
what a lot of work it is to cook for six
people. Makes me wonder how I did
all that work, day in and day
out,when they were all home.
Thinking back I can now realize
why sometimes the bread went in
the fridge and the dish soap went in
right behind it. I used to do things so
automatically and not think about
the thing I was working on.
Sometimes setting the table at our
house was a real challenge. The setter had to guess who the last person
was that did dishes and where he or
she put the serving bowls.
What a good feeling to have
everyone at home, with the table
full of goodies, and each and every
person just happy to be there. I just
love it.
Dear Citizens,
I was elected as a Trustee in
Watervliet Township to represent
you, the residents. When I first took
office, I was amazed at the work
that was involved, the issues that
were going down, and the hardship
of stress that was being put on
everybody that is working for the
Township. It is not easy trying to
make a decision; no matter what
you decide on, somebody is not going to like it.
In reference to Mr. Morlock's
issue for recalling I disagree highly.
As a Township trustee we must set
up a budget to run the Township,
which includes setting up salary
and benefits for both elected officials and employees of the Township. The budget is voted on at the
end of March of each year (annual
meeting) in which the meeting is
published as the law requires and
vou. the people, vote on this.
I felt as a new person coming into
office that, for the work that is being done, everybody was being
underpaid, and after comparison

Township office. I was the only one
that ran as a new person for a
trustee post.
Mr. Morlock has a right to his own
opinion, but he is complaining of us
wasting money on wages and pension, but has he considered how
much money he will waste for the
Township on a recall; and then
there will have to be another if the
recall is successful and that will
cost the Township residents; and
two years from this November
there will be another election at the
end of our term or the replacement
in the recall which will cost the people.
I feel if Mr. Morlock and the
residents of Watervliet Township
are disappointed with our decision
over issues that have been voted on,
then I would like him to run for election in 1992 when our term is up and
One young man included words to
this effect: What? You want to start
a war and get us killed just so we
can serve our country? This was
pretty far off the mark, and wasn't
even necessarily Royko's opinion.
But, take heart, Americans. We
have a solution of sorts coming
down the pike. A recent influx of
new citizens in the United States
promises better times. When and if
these new people are absorbed
totally, it may change our national
physical characteristics a bit, but
we will appear smarter to the rest
of the world.
I am speaking of the school
children from Oriental families in
America. According to a recent
P a r a d e Magazine Special Intelligence Report by Lloyd Shearer-Japanese, Chinese and other Asian
students (even those newly arrived
from Vietnam and Korea) rapidly
begin to excel in mathematics.
They a r e not n e c e s s a r i l y
genetically superior to long-time
Americans; that is not the point.
Educational researchers said that
first graders in Taiwan are assigned on the average 77 minutes of
homework per day. At the same
time in Minneapolis, first graders
were doing on the average 14
minutes of daily homework.
Those foreign-born parents spend
much more time supervising their
children's homework than we do
here. It probably has something to
do with their work ethic. The want
to get ahead. We'd rather sit and
gossip over coffee while watching
mindless TV commercials designed
to separate us from our money
(credit cards) for foolish things that
will soon wearout.
At the time of the report I cited
earlier, Asian-Americans constituted 1.5% of the U.S. population,
but they accounted for 4.5% of our
scientists holding Ph.D. degrees.
Perhaps we'd better make sure
those a c a d e m i c a l l y orphaned
Chinese students (recently in the
news) get to remain in the U.S.
They are some of the best China
had, and we will most likely need
them here.
Remember I started this column
by saying I felt a curmudgeonly fit
of anger coming on? Back in the big
depression (really a little before my
time) people said sometimes they
would see a weird looking man standing on a street corner, carrying a
sign that said, "Repent, the End of
the World is coming!" Where is that
little weird man now when we really
need him?

Hartford School Board approves
1990-91 administration
By Phyliss Buechner
Hartford School Board members
approved administrators for the
1990-91 school year at their business
meeting held Thursday, March 15,
as recommended by the Superintendent, Robert Pobuda. Those appointments are: John Busch, Red
Arrow E l e m e n t a r y Principal;
Mary Lou Niemann, Woodside
Elementary Principal; James McQueen, Middle School Principal;
Fendon Dankert, Administrative
Assistant for Community Affairs;
and Michael Hallgren, Business
Manager.
Superintendent Pobuda announced that the deadline for applications
for High School Principal is April
16. He said the screening committee
of administrators, teachers, parents, and two high school students
hopes to have a recommendation by
May 17. The district must select a
replacement for Jean Hollar, who
submitted her retirement/resignation as Hartford High School Principal, effective at the end of this
school year, at the last School
Board meeting.
Staff members for all the schools
for next year were also approved
for appointments as recommended
by the principals. The principals
had prepared and submitted to the
Board their evaluations for all the
teachers. Board Treasurer Gerald
Lutz said, 'They were the best
evaluations I have ever seen.
Heavy-duty time was put in them by
the administrators." Lutz continued, "I especially liked Jean's
(Jean Hollar). They were very
soecific." He concluded, saying.
"Some evaluations were outstanding. I think we as a Board should
recognize them and put that on for
one of next year's goals."
An election resolution was approved which set the date for the annual election for School Board
members for June 11, 1990. One
four-year term, currently held by
Tim Mattimore, is the only seat
open for election this year, according to Business Manager Michael
Hallgren.
Plans for the 1990 senior class trip
to Chicago were approved by the
Board. They will leave May 29 and
return May 31.
The school's street traffic problem, with a request from the
Citizens Committee to make it a
one-way street, was referred to the
Building and Site Committee for
further study. Their recommendations will be brought to the April 19
Board meeting.
Approval was given to a request
submitted by Anne Hawkinson,
Chairman of the Earth Day Committee, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Earth Day. A special
run of the KLS&C (Kalamazoo,
Lake Shore and Chicago) Railway
will stop in Hartford to share its
program with the community free
of charge. They will also make
stops in Paw Paw and Lawrence.
The program will include musical
performances and poetry readings
relating to Earth Day themes. They
will also plant a tree, commemorating Earth Day and representing a commitment to responsible stewardship of the planet, on
Hartford school grounds.
Limerick Contest to be held at
Watervliet District Library
To celebrate National Library
Week and just for the plain fun of it,
the Watervliet District Library is
sponsoring a "Write a Limerick"
contest open to age groups 6 and
under, 7-9 year olds, 10-12, 13-15,
16-20, and adult. Inspiration for this
contest was a book by David
Greenberg titled " S l u g s , " illustrated by Victoria Chess.
The limerick, poem, or haiku can
be about slugs, libraries, books or
reading, or any combination. The
contest is open April 1,1990, to April
21. Prizes will be awarded in each
age category and every entry
returned will get a certificate for a
free Tastee Freez from Wallace's
Tastee Freez, Watervliet. All one
needs to be eligible to enter is a
Watervliet Library card (with no
overdues). Join in the fun. You may
win a slug bean bag or a ribbon
award.
CHS Class of '65 reunion
CLOSED
TRI-COUNTY HEADSTART...students enjoyed breakfast at Jasmine's
recently. The 4- and 5-year-olds enjoyed pancakes, sausage, eggs, and juice
during the field trip following a unit on occupations. Donna Alfieri, the
children's teacher, said the unit involved discussion of what a cook or a
waitress does during working hours. The children knew what the
dishwasher did while on the job. The Tri-County Headstart, Hartford
Center, is located on Pinery Road and is a new location.

"Steamboat's a-comin'!!" as
part of the Greater Watervliet Independence Day Celebration. From
June 22 through July 2, Paw Paw
Lake will move back in time to the
days when Chicago residents looking for respite from the heat of the
city traveled to St. Joseph by train
or boat and then rode the interurban
through Coloma to the Ellinee
where they boarded the steamboat
Margaret to take them to their
respective hotels on the lake shore.
The fun-the excitement-will be
rekindled with the launching of
"The Spirit of Lansing" on Thursday evening, June 21, at the Paw
Paw Lake Marina. Cruises will
begin the next morning.
Information pertaining to rides,
rates, and party rental will be
available well in advance of the
launch date. There will be historical
cruises, hosted by Watervliet's own
local historian-Bill Beverly. Day
cruises, dinner cruises, sunset
cruises, and starlight cruises are a
part of the planned events. Tickets
will be presold at a discount price
from ticket outlets which will be
identified at a later date. In addition
to the historical cruises, the cruises
will have entertainment reminiscent of the steamboat era. Anyone
interested in a bit of nostalgia?

KIBLER EARNS U OF M
PRIZE
Charles David Kibler, son of Mrs.
Doug (Deanna) Heminger, 7110
Ryno Road, Coloma, and Charles C.
Kibler, Stevensville, was honored
with the William J. Branstrom
Freshman Prize at an Honors Convocation at the University of
Michigan on Sunday, April 1. This
honor is bestowed to first-term
freshmen who rank in the upper five
percent of their class and earned 14
credit hours or more. Kibler is
enrolled in the College of Engineering, m a j o r i n g in e l e c t r i c a l
engineering.
Erickson. Fifteen Atari 800 computers were purchased along with
two Atari 810 disk drives. The computers and disk drives were networked together along with one
printer. The network enabled
students at each of the computers to
share access to the disk drives and
the printer. Fourteen of the original
computers are still in service.
The primary activity in the lab is
word processing with the Bank
Street Writer software. Students
learn the basics of text entry,
editing, and how to save, retrieve,
and print their work. Once students
know the principles, teachers have
them word process assignments
which might ordinarily be written
with paper and pencil. Students find
that correcting their work with the
word processor is much easier than
rewriting their work by hand. Printing out a corrected, easy-to-read
final copy has proven to be very •
satisfying to students.
1
The need for another lab became |
apparent very soon after the north
lab went into operation. Through!
the efforts of Mr. John Yelding,!
Principal at the time, a computer
lab was established in the south
building in the fall of 1985. The south
lab houses 13 Commodore computers and disk drives along with
three printers. Commodore provided the proper mix of function and
economy. There were two purposes
for setting up the south lab. The
first was to provide students the opportunity to use the computer as a
tool to solve problems. The second
was to publish a school newspaper
written and edited by students.
Fifth-, sixth- and seventh-grade
students use this lab for Logo programming activities. Problems
which they solve are most related to
the geometric principles they study
in math class. learning to write
programs which solve specific problems forces the students to break
the problem into small parts. Then
they use the parts of the language
they have learned to direct the computer's activities to provide a solution to the problem.
THE SOUTHSIDER, the school
newspaper, has been a huge success. Students in one of Mrs. June
Noel's language classes put out an
issue almost weekly during the second semester. The paper is very
popular with the students.
Both labs are used for other types
of activities when they are available. Watch the HEADLINER for
future articles about computer activities at the Middle School.

Upton receives Watchdog of the
Treasury Award
Congressman Fred Upton announced last week that he has
received his third Golden Bulldog
Award by the Watchdogs of the
Treasury, Inc. for his 1989 voting efforts to reduce the deficit, restrain
federal spending, and eliminate
waste.
Watchdogs of the Treasury is a
Washington, D.C.-based, nonpartisan organization that recognizes
members of Congress who compile
exemplary voting records and show
true concern for leading our government toward greater fiscal responsibility. The Golden Bulldog Award
is presented to those members of
Congress who vote to contain spending at least 75% of the time, based
on a compilation of selected votes
on economic and fiscal issues. Upton had a score of 92%.

'I am very honored to receive my
third Golden Bulldog Award," said
Congressman Upton. "This award
signifies my continuing commitment to protecting taxpayers'
dollars and stopping reckless
federal spending. I have always
believed that the only way the

ROLLING BACK
THE YEARS
THE WATERVLIET RECORD
THE COLOMA COURIER
90 YEARS AGO
Frank, Fred and Charley Sterner
had an exciting experience with a
runaway team between here and
Millburg last Sunday. Considerable
damage was done to the carriage,
but the occupants were uninjured.
All kinds of street hats for Ladies
and Misses and trimmed hats from
$1.25 and up at Mrs. Allie
Baughman's on Main Street.
One day last week Henry Geisler,
of Bainbridge, loaded his wagon
with grain and drove to Watervliet
to have it ground. When he got to
town he chanced to look under the
seat and there he spied an old hen,
which had laid an egg during her
ride to town.
100 YEARS AGO
Despite the muddy condition of
the roads Monday, a large number
of loads of log wood, bolts and hay
were marketed at Coloma.
Owing to the inclemency of the
weather and the bad condition of the
roads last Friday, the social hop at
Ingraham's hall was not very largely attended.
It has become an undeniable fact
that Coloma will have another
railroad before long.
60 YEARS AGO
The first of the pre-season dancing parties at the Crystal Palace for
the year 1930 will be given on Saturday and Sunday evenings, March 22
and 23. For this occasion Manager
Dlouhy has secured the services of
Dick Lucky and his Arcadians to
furnish the music, thus assuring a
fine time, with dime dancing and
free admission. Mr. Dlouhy announces that there will be dances
every Saturday and Sunday night
until the opening of the regular dancing for the summer season.
The Coloma Hotel was filled to
overflowing Wednesday night and
LandLord Molt found it necessary
to secure rooms outside the inn to
accommodate some of the people
who were stranded in the village.
Several parties found that they
could proceed no further with their
automobiles and remained in Coloma until the heavy snowstorm subsided.
60 YEARS AGO
Akin to a gold rush is the annual
smelt run at Beulah on Crystal Lake
declare members of a party of
Watervliet sportsmen who made a
dash to the Benzie County town last
Friday on being advised by wire
that the smelt run had started.
Those in the party were City Commissioner Stanley Monroe, Arthur
Alfing, S.T. Curtis and Harvey
Milliard.
Henry Kelekel is the new meat
cutter at the O.D. Price grocery and
market, succeeding Clyde Scherer,
who is returning to the care of his
fruit farm in South Watervliet. Mr.
Kelekel has moved here from
Saginaw and is occupying C.I.
Monore's house on the latter's farm
in East Watervliet.
30 YEARS AGO
Bryce Dunlop was invested with
the title of Cub Scoutmaster by Dan
Strong, committeeman, at the
Washington School pack meeting
held March 24. Committeemen that
will assist Dunlop are George
Vollrath, Dale Meahl, Dan Strong,
Robert Cottier, Wesley Morlock,
John Kolenko, and Steve Comity.
Teh 1960 Census of Population and
Housing, the nation's 18th decennial
nose count, gets underway in Coloma tomorrow morning, April 1.
District Supervisor W.K. Bamhart
pointed out that residents of this
area can speed up the big count by
having their advance report forms
filled out and ready for the census
takers.
30 YEARS AGO
Paw Paw Lake residents were
keeping a watchful eye on the lake
level last week. The lake rose fast
with the warm weather and melting
snow and overflowed its banks in
several places creating a severe
hardship for township residents.
Last Friday, April 1, the lake reached its peak 32 inches above normal.
High School junior Carol Martin,
R.R. 2, was awarded the first-place
prize of $10 for her entry in this
year's Poppy poster contest. Second
place went to Richard McNees, also
a junior. He received $5 and Sharon
Taylor, St. Joseph St., won $3 for
third prize. The contest is sponsored
annually by the American Legion
Auxiliary for senior art students.

All to get good value for your dollar.
How about your home equity- loan?
You'd better shop around.
If yoLi just go where you have your
mortgage, or only compare closing
fees, there's a good chance you won't
get the best overall deal.
Chris Joslyn, Tina White, Kim Buenger.
Steps to the best overall deaL
Ask what the loan interest rate is
based on. Prime? One-year
T-bills? Longer, more
fixed rales may cost you
extra interest. Shorter
rates (like the 26-week
T-bill rate) are often lower than prime.
Ask when the loan matures, so
yoLi'll know how often you're faced
with repealing the paperwork. Ask
how long approval takes.

DRY EYES; Robert D. Newcomb,
O.D., the chief of optometry at the
Department of Veterans Affairs
Outpatient Clinic in Columbus, Ohio,
says persons with rheumatoid
arthritis, Sjogren's disease, or
Graves' disease may have eye prob
lems which should be treated by an
eye doctor. For example, people
with rheumatoid arthritis may have
dry eyes and eye pain and may need
to be treated with moisturizing eye
drops or eye drops to reduce
inflammation. (Dr. Newcomb cautions that "only an eye doctor can
determine the exact diagnosis and
treatment for each patient with
rheumatoid arthritis.") In Sjogren's
disease, chronically dry eyes can
cause irritation in and around the
eyes, which an eye doctor may treat
with artificial tears, lubricating eye
ointments and. occasionally, special
contact lenses to provide clear,
comfortable vision. Those with
Graves' disease — a thyroid gland
condition from which First Lady
Barbara Bush suffers — can develop
protruding eyes and double vision
because of a temporarily paralyzed
eye muscle. Artificial tears may keep
the eyes moist, and surgery may be
needed for the muscular condition.
raON RISKS FOR MEN: While
women have to make sure they get
enough iron in their diets to prevent
iron deficiency, according to a study
cited by the Reebok Aerobic Information Bureau, men need to be
careful not to overload on this
nutrient. Excess iron is stored in the
heart, liver and pancreas, and can
lead to diabetes, arthritis, cirrhosis,
and congestive heart failure —
perhaps even an increased risk of
cancer Men should check with their
doctors before taking an iron supplement to avoid the danger of
overdosing.
Pfizer has a new drug to fight
fungal infections in cancer and AIDS
patients. The antifungal agent, fluconazole, (brand name, Diflucan) also
works against fungal infections
involved with pneumonia, urinary
tract infections, peritonitis — as
well as fungal problems sometimes
afflicting organ transplant recipients, diabetics, and those on
long-term antibiotic treatment.
Though not a great cosmic question, still, many people may wonder
why their stomachs sometimes
growl. Dr. Sheldon Margen of U.C.
Berkeley, says when air, or other
gases present in the digestive tract,
mixes with the mass of partially
digested food and digestives juices
moving along the tract, the growls
are produced. We hear them more
often when we're hungry because
we salivate more at that time, and
swallow more air.

REVAMPING THE VA BENEFIT SYSTEM: The Department of
Veterans Affairs plans to reform its
system of dispensing benefits. They
aim to eliminate inequities and
inconsistencies in determining eligibility for health care services and
disability payments., Secretary
Edward J. Derwinski assures us this
won't result in the VA scaling back
current benefits. He says they only
want to identify "those areas that by
definition are patently unfair."
One example is the payment of
benefits to surviving spouses of
disabled vets; Benefits now delivered to surviving spouses of disabled generals and admirals are nearly
3l/2 times greater than to survivors of
vets discharged at lower enlisted
ranks, which Derwinski describes as
"... an ii\justice and morally wrong."
The revision would also open up
outpatient medical care to low
income vets (so-called Category A)
without a doctor having to certify
that the vet would need to be
hospitalized without it. More in
upcoming columns.
NOTE: New VA home loan interest rate is 10 percent, up from 9.5
oercent.

CHILD SUPPORT INFORMATION: One of the problems many of
you have spoken of in your letters is
collecting court-awarded child support payments from spouses who
apparently have no intention of
complying with these legal decisions. For years, anyone looking for
help found herself (and sometimes
himself) almost literally crying alone
in the wilderness. However, with
women's groups taking up the fight,
things began to change. The problem
is now being seen both as a matter
of law enforcement (flouting a court
order is a legal no-no) and as a
social priority. A lot of uncollected
money is out there. In 1988 alone,
some $14 billion of court ordered
child support went unpaid, which
means children are denied many of
the basic necessities of life.
The argument by some that it
would cost too much to hunt down a
delinquent parent and force him to
live up to his obligations falls flat
when the single custodial parent
often finds herself being forced onto
the welfare rolls because she may
not be able to earn enough to
support her family and pay for
adequate child care while she's on
the job.
Among the legal changes that are
now in effect, or coming on line, are
the following:
• WAGE WITHHOLDING: By
November, 1990, all new and modified child support orders will provide
for
immediate
wage
withholding to make sure the custodial parent receives the awarded
payments if the orders are not
honored. Employers will be required
to comply with these wage withholding laws.
• TAX REFUNDS: State and
Federal income tax refunds can also
be attached to collect unpaid or
overdue child support.
• AUTOMATIC REPORTS: Child
support agencies will, under the law,
be required to report information
about child support debts to credit
reporting bureaus if an inquiry is
made.
You can find more information in
two helpful, and free, booklets from
the United States Department of
Health and Human Services. One is
"Wage Withholding for Child Support — An Employer's Guide for
Small Business" (Item 502W, free)
— which provides information for
employers and parents on how to
utilize this method of collecting
unpaid child support. The other is
"Handbook on Child Support Enforcement" (Item 505W, free) which
offers suggestions to help you
collect the awarded support, and
also answers the most frequently
asked questions on this subject. For
your copies, send your name and
address, and item numbers of the

SOCIAL SECURITY TRUST
FUND UPDATE: Would you call
Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan
(D.-N.Y.) irresponsible for introducing the bill to repeal the withholding
increase for Social Security (saving
the average American family $500 a
year) and returning the Social Security Trust Fund to its once
untouchable status? (Currently, the
funds can be used for payments on
the deficit and other government
charges.) Well, according to Republican Minority Whip Newt Gingrich
(Ga.), "Moynihan has done an irresponsible service because he's led
every senior citizen to ask what
happened to their money." (As if
you'd rather not know, right?)
Gingrich is not alone in raising a
ruckus about Moynihan's insistence
that people know exactly what IS
happening to their Social Security
trust fund. However, lest you think
this is a partisan situation. Senator
John Heinz, Republican from Pennsylvania, is very much on Moynihan's side of the issue. Where some
have called using the Trust Fund for
non Social Security purposes thiev-
Dollars & Sense
by Bryon Elson
If you want to take control of
what happens to your family, your
home, and your assets, after your
death, it is advised you stop procrastinating and write a will.
Most importantly, a will enables
you to name a guardian for your
children. When deciding custody of
your children, ask yourself who
would be able and willing to raise
your children with values similar to
yours, should you and your spouse
die in an accident. Also, make sure
to specify successor guardians in
case the designated guardians cannot accept this responsibility.
The next critical decision is who
should serve as executor of your
estate. As overseer of your estate, he
or she will face arduous and timeconsuming tasks.
If your executor has no financial
expertise, you may want to select a
second party, perhaps a CPA, to
serve as coexecutor with a family
member.
Next, take an inventory of your
assets and decide how you want
them distributed. Try to think in
percentages rather than dollars.
Consider the implications of each
provision of your will as well as the
circumstances and resources of
each beneficiary.
In addition, you should consider
incorporating a trust or other safeguards into your will to protect your
children from the possible consequences of a spouse's remarriage.
Besides insuring that your estate
is distributed according to your
wishes, a will can reduce the
financial burden placed on your
heirs.
Tax claims on an estate also can
be substantial. But under the federal
estate tax law. you do have protection. If the gross estate, plus the
value of certain lifetime taxable
gifts, is under $600,000, filing a
federal estate tax return is not
required.
However, if estate assets plus the
value of certain lifetime taxable gifts
ery, Heinz out and out calls it
extortion. Incidentally, Moynihan
has gotten at least one effective
Social Security measure passed.
From now on, everyone who has a
Social Security account will receive
regular statements showing what
was paid in, what the benefits will
be, including survivors' benefits,
disability, and retirement. (The latter
would be an estimate.)
Meanwhile, long term care continues to be an important consideration for Congress. Edward R.
Roybal, Chair of the House Select
Committee on Aging, joined with
Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D.Mass.), and Representative Mary
Rose Oaker (D.-Ohio), to introduce
the "Lifecare Long-Term Care Protection Act" (H.R. 4093), which
would provide long term protection
for both younger and older Americans. Roybal noted: "Initially, Lifecare provides home and community
based care and nursing home care
for disabled children, impaired
elderly, and for Medicare-eligible
adults under age 65. Ultimately,
Lifecare will cover people of all
ages, including those between ... 20
and 65 needing long term care."
I'll keep you apprised of developments.
exceed $600,000, after deducting
certain expenses, the federal estate
tax rate starts at 18 percent, and
continues to 55 percent for estates
over $5 million.
If your estate is substantially
higher than $600,000, you can
minimize the tax burden by dividing
your assets between your spouse
and a credit-shelter or bypass trust.
This can provide your spouse and
children with income for life and
enable you to take full advantage of
the unified tax credit.
Another option is to divide assets
equally between you and your
spouse prior to death. You also can
make tax-exempt gifts of up to
$10,000 annually, per recipient, or
$20,000, with your spouse's consent
without incurring a gift tax.
In addition, these amounts will
not be added to your estate upon
your death. Keep in mind that
educational or nursing home bills
also may be deemed gifts, if you pay
the bills directly.

WEEKLY TIP: If you emphasize
your originality, you'll rise to the
top!
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Don't insist on your own way.
Others are slow to go along with
your ideas. Evening hours favor
distant interests and romance.
Employee absenteeism could mean
an extra work load for you. Partners
are ingenious and liable to surprise
you. Privacy abets romance.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A
loved one may be reluctant to join
you at a party. New work ideas pay
off. Evening favors socializing and
romantic interests. Close ties are
cautious now. Romance comes
unexpectedly. Mixing business with
pleasure may lead unexpectedly to
new career benefits.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Stay
clear of arguments. Others won't be
easily convinced. Expect a surprise
at home. You'll er\joy the good life
this week. Caution on your part
about a financial matter could irk
another. Unexpected news comes
now. Home life brings many late day
satisfactions.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
You'll need tact to get along with
others now. Don't inhibit another.
Evening is your best time to express
views. Accent friendliness. Avoid
hazardous work and don't overtire
yourself. Take a chance on innovative methods. Evening brings the
promise of financial gain.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
Despite one romantic disappointment, this week brings happy times
with hobbies or romance. Throw off
your worries and relax. It may be
difficult to balance home and career
interests now. Welcome a chance to
make new friends. Home life picks
up later.
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) Arguments can lead to frustration. Career interests are happily
accented. Local visits lead to
romance and good times in the
evening. Close ties may seem tightfisted with money. Unexpected
news comes from a distance. Good
will brings career and financial
£^
^
LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) Partners may be overly enthusiastic. Financial questions could
create tension. A behind-the-scenes
romance raises some doubts. New
romantic opportunities for singles.
Undercurrents affect existing ties.
Watch a tendency to overwork, or
health may suffer.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You may meet with an office
flirtation, but it's best not to mix
business and your personal life.
Watch excessive partying. Romantic
news comes from a distance! Be
realistic about a home improvement
project. Double-check costs and
estimates regarding repairs.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to
December 21) Others tend to exaggerate now. Visitors could arrive at an
inappropriate time. In-laws may
create some problems. Be patient.
Write love letters, but scrutinize
documents pertaining to business.
Avoid get-rich-quick schemes. It
pays to be a shrewd buyer.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) Spending could become
an issue between loved ones. A new
work opportunity should please you.
Don't overwhelm new acquaintances. Love at first sight beckons.
Be more efficient on the job. Watch
carelessness. Be less suspicious of a
loved one's motivations.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) An impromptu gettogether should be fun. Teenagers
may be closemouthed about their
problems, but try not to force the
issue. A surprise invitation may
arrive. Friends and family don't mix
favorably, though. Be cautious about
a business proposition.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) Business negotiations are trying
and an argument could result. Get
more than one opinion. Use ingenuity for monetary gain. Someone
cares at a distance, but a trip right
now may create monetary problems.
Don't dip into capital. Be more
conservative.

WEIGHT LOSS
IPILL 'BAFFLES'
SCIENTISTS
WASHINGTON - Scientists are baffled
by a new weight loss formula that causes
people to lose weight even though they
don't change they way they normally eat.
Studies published in respected scientific journals such as The British Journal
of Nutrition say that cyamopsis tetragonolobus, an Ingredient often used to
thicken ice cream, can cause permanent
weight loss without dieting or exercise.
Although several explanations for the
weight loss are suggested, the most likely, according to scientists, is that the ingredient seems to "trap" high calorie fat
particles, decreasing their absorption in
the intestines.
S c i e n t i s t s at N a t i o n a l D i e t a r y
Research, an organization committed to
the research and development of nutritional solutions to worldwide health problems, have successfully isolated and incorporated cyamopsis tetragonolobus into an improved formula that greaUy
enhances the potential for weight loss
over the ingredient alone. Called Food
Source One, the revolutionary new formula provides a three-way scientificallydesigned process to help prevent calorie
absorption.
The mechanism by which Food Source
One works to decrease body weight is a
complicated process called nutribonding. When chewed and swallowed
immediately before meals, high calorie
fats are replaced with lower calorie
nutrients, thereby providing optimum
nutrition and a minimum number of fat
calories as explained in an instruction
sheet that accompanies the tablets. The
instruction sheet should be followed for
optimum results.
Food Source One is unlike any other
product on the market and is available
immediately because it is not a drug and
only contains natural ingredients
already known to be safe. Physicians and
pharmacists are praising Food Source
One as a natural, drug-free alternative
for the treatment of obesity.

FLUSHING
One aspect of the City's maintenance program for the water
system involves the periodic
flushing of water lines. This is done
to reduce the buildup of iron in the
water mains. The flushing will be
conducted on the second Wednesday of every month between the
hours of 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. The
flushing program will run April
through November.
Residents may experience some
discoloration of their water during
and/or immediately after these
water-flushing periods. Although
this water is safe to drink, it is advised to avoid washing laundry during these times.

This week we continue with our
spring sports preview. We will start
off with Hartford baseball.
HARTFORD BASEBALL
This year the Indians' program is
in the hands of first-year coach Tom
Bean. He has his work cut out for
him as most of the players from the
successful teams of the past two
years have graduated.
The Indians are by no means
depleted as they have 19 players on
the varsity squad with 7 seniors.
Leading the way are probable cocaptains Chad Johnson and Chico
Chaves. Johnson will be counted on
to anchor the pitching staff with
Chaves returning again for catching duty. Both earned letters last
year and they will play an integral
role in the team's success.
Other seniors include left fielder
James Ryan, outfielder Ryan Mattimore, shortstop Bryan Jordan
first baseman Jay Allen, and second baseman Shane Empson
There is only one junior on the
team in Wayne Little but he can
pitch, play first base, or the outfield.
There are five sophomores on the
squad with back-up catcher and outfielder Chad Hunt; Chris Hardy,
who can pitch, play first, and
maybe a little outfield; Scott Rice,
who is currently #2 on the secondbase depth chart; Joe Morsaw, who
is working at first base; and Scott
Thornton, who plays a number of infield positions.
The freshmen are led by Mike
Parker and James Curtis who both
show a lot of offensive ability.
Parker can fill in in the infield while
Curtis will get his playing time in
the outfield. Jose Chaves is a relief
pitcher and back-up outfielder,
John Johnson is a utility infield
player, while Dylan Burnette and
Bill Fuller are back-up outfielders.
Coach Bean feels that even
though they are still pretty young
they have a lot of young players that
can compete. Their defense should
be pretty soundgnd if their p i t c h
c6mes*,alor>g tSdy could possibly
contend. Coach Bean feels that once
the pitchers experience some good

from first to third, and Holly
Downey who moves from left field
to shortstop.
Meanwhile, the rest of the positions will have to be filled by the remaining 4 sophomores and 8 freshmen.
Coach Teske feels that he has a lot
of good talent with these underclassmen but they still need experience at the varsity level. If they
can get that experience and still win
some games in the process that will
be a plus for them.

COLOMA SOFTBALL
Coloma c o a c h J o h n Weber
returns seven letter winners from
last year's squad that went 11-17.
Only four seniors were lost to
graduation which gives the team a
solid nucleus from which to build
on.
Five seniors with experience
return in pitcher Julie Fent, who
went 5-1 last year; catcher Jennifer
Schlipp, Missi Wheeler at first base,
Donnell Smith at second base, and
Leslie Sanders who can play third
base and the outfield. Senior Denise
Tullio, who sat out last year
because of injury, will be available
as will senior Amy Martin, a JV
product.
There are two juniors returning in
Nikki Myers at third base and Kim
Dodge in the outfield.
Other juniors hoping to fill in are
Wendy Murray and Heidi Ovington.
Sophomores that can contribute include Dawn Stampfly, Teresa Kiernan, and Lonnie Johnson.
Coach Weber says that the
Lakeland Conference should be
strong throughout with Buchanan
and Brandywine being the preseason favorites. The Comet pitching has some potential but will
have to hold up strong for them to
be successful. If it does, the Comets
could contend since Coach Weber
feels that they should be stronger
offensively.
The Comets open their season
April 10 with a double-header at
Cassopolis and then will not play
again until their home opener April
19 against Dowagiac.
MISCELLANEOUS
Last week I previewed Watervliet's varsity baseball team and
neglected to mention returning
junior letterman Rich Johnson.
Rich is a left-handed pitcher who
notched five wins for the Panthers
last year while batting over .300 for
the season on offense. Rich should
play an integral part in the Panther
fortunes for this season and it was
just an oversight in my notes that I

G O S i M CHARLES
A lot of Michigan's early spring
fishing excitement centers around
the steelhead or rainbow spawning
runs.
Both are the same fish. A "steelhead" is the trout spending most of
its life in the Great Lakes where it
turns such a silvery color it looks
different than a rainbow. Once the
fish enters a spawning stream,
though, it loses the silvery sheen
and reverts back to rainbow colors.
This can take a little time. A
steelhead over-wintering in a river
is sure to look different by spring.
Some, in fact, may become so dark
they are almost black.
The color change can, in fact, occur between the time an angler
manages to catch a steelhead and
the time it takes then to get it back
home. This is more likely to happen
if the steelie is a female. Males
don't seem to do this as readily.
Why this occurs is a good question
for which nobody seems to have a
real answer.
It is also interesting to note that
Michigan does not have any "pure"
resident steelhead stock unless it
might have been brought here
recently from the West Coast.
That's where our first rainbows
came from, back in 1876, when
some were imported from the McCloud River. Those were of the
Shasta strain and were known as
"California trout."
During the years that followed,
steelhead, black trout, spotted
trout, cutthroats and rainbows from
New Zealand were all planted in
Michigan. These fish cross-bred in
the wild and were soon so mixed up
they were just called "rainbows."
Generally speaking, the clear
Shasta strain of rainbow is a nonmigrant and will stay in a stream.
Crossed with what is referred to as
the steelhead strain, though, the

Golf was established as a varsity
sport at the Watervliet School
Board meeting Monday, April 2.
Watervliet High School will form a
golf team beginning in the fall of
1990 after a survey taken at the
school early this spring showed
there was enough interest among
the students to establish the team.
Last year a team was organized on
a t r i a l b a s i s with Donald
Weckwei th as temporary coach and
with nine students participating. As
of this time no one has been named
to fill the coaching position.
Carol Reigle, speech therapy
teacher for the school system, submitted a letter of resignation and it
was accepted with regret by the
Board, effective immediately. She
has been on a one-year maternity
leave for the 1989-90 school year and
decided not to return.
A request for permission to use
the high school ball field this summer by the Coloma American
Legion Post 362 was received and
granted by the Board. A contract
has been drawn up by Watervliet
Recreation Council President
Roger Prince to include the
Legion's games in their summer
schedule.
A group of volunteers has offered
to donate materials and labor for
electrical and water improvements
to the baseball field at the high
school. This includes installing an
underground cable for an electric
pitching machine and underground
plumbing for drinking fountains.
Approval was given to this group
who also plans to build a concession
