wedding anniversary
Ray T. and Joann (Story) Miller are
celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary
on June 19, 2021. The young couple were
high school sweethearts and have lived in
Hastings their entire married life. Children
of the couple are Mitch and Brenda Miller,
Bill and Raeanne Renner, and Dave and
JoEllen Anderson. They have many
grandchildren and many, many great-
grandchildren. Friends can drop in on
Saturday, June 19 to wish them well at 4304
Trails End, Middleville, from 1 to 4 p.m.Elaine Garlock
The Red Cross will be in town for a blood
drive Monday, June 21, from noon to 5:
p.m. The usual rules are being applied. It will
be at the fellowship hall of Central United
Methodist Church, 912 Fourth Ave., with
space provided by Central United Methodist
Church.
The guest speaker at Central United
Methodist Central Sunday will be the Rev.
DeAnne Dubbs who has served churches since
- Early in her pastoral career, she was at
Country Chapel in southern Barry County.
For the next two weeks after her appearance
at Central’s pulpit, the guest pastor will be the
Rev. Eric Beck, a former pastor at Central.
The 3-month-old son of Matthew and
Ashley (Barcroft) Singh was baptized at
Central June 13. Several family members
were present from the Flint area, Richland
and Grand Rapids. Both parents are doctors in
Grand Rapids.
The flowers in the planters on Fourth
Avenue area thriving. Each is centered with
a tall begonia surrounded by smaller begonias
and other flowering plants. The lampposts are
marked with fluttering banners, most with a
nautical motif.
Counties to the south and east have been
having their once-in-17-years visitors, the
cicada, which soon goes back into hibernation
for another 17 years. They are noisy visitors
to their hosts. To our north, Mecosta County
is having an infestation of gypsy moths which
are chewing the leaves of the oak trees, the
most prevalent species in that area. One
can even hear them munching on the leaves
resulting in a green carpet beneath the trees
as the fragments fall to earth. About two days
later, the carpet has turned to brown. The
gypsy moths cover windows of houses and
number in the hundreds and thousands in the
trees.
A vacant lot on Fourth Avenue near Lincoln
Street now has a sign indicating the site will
be the location of another Habitat house for a
local family. Likely it will be several months
before this becomes a reality, considering the
high price of lumber for building purposes.
The last Habitat home built several months
ago is now fully occupied on the same street
but farther north.
Yet another real estate item from the same
neighborhood is that an unoccupied house that
has stood empty for several years is now listed
for sale. This house is on the same block as the
Doty/Nielsen/Tischer house but on Johnson
Street, a block west of Fourth Avenue.
The new stop signs on Fourth Avenue seem
to be having good adherence. Both north and
south of the new signs is a large warning
sign several feet in advance of the new signs.
They should make for easier access to Fourth
Avenue for motorists approaching from the
side street. Visibility has been poor for anyone
hoping to either cross Fourth Avenue or to
make a turn onto the main street, because of
cars parked close to the intersection.McKenna Alexandra Newell, Cathedral

passes budget
Taylor Owens
Staff Writer
The Barry Intermediate School District
approved a $7 million budget for next school
year during an eight-minute meeting
Wednesday morning.
The board held a public hearing on the bud-
get at its June 8 meeting, but had no public
attendees.
BISD Superintendent Rich Franklin said he
expects school budgeting to return to normal
next year, now that the pandemic has largely
subsided.
“We basically look for steady or very mod-
est growth in revenue and modest growth in
cost, but overall this should be a very calm
year for school budgets,” Franklin said. “A
year ago we were all panicked, we didn’t
know what to expect, but that was before the
stimulus.”
The state budget revenue estimating con-
ferences have had an improved economic
outlook for Michigan each time they have
taken place since last spring.
“The state has come out so much better
than they thought they were,” Franklin said.
“We’re not hearing doom and gloom.”
While the state has not yet finalized its
budget for next year, it does look like schools
will see at least a small increase in their per
pupil funding, Franklin said.
The budget for the next school year at the
intermediate school district will likewise
remain steady, with minimal staffing increas-
es and no major changes from last year.
The projected budget’s general fund reve-
nues are $1,641,149 and expenditures are
$1,658,774. It is projected to leave the district
with a general fund balance of $237,512 –
which is 14 percent of expenditures.Woodland has a baseball nine named the
“No Goods.” The scores of the games they
have played thus far show that they deserve
the title.
One of the neatest and finest manufacturing
plants in the state is the Hastings Chair and
Table Co. [which had just opened within the
past year and was destroyed by fire in October
2020].
Work on the foundation for the Hastings
electric light works plant is proceeding
[perhaps in the triangular block between
South Hanover, East Court and East State
streets]. According to the plans, the buildings
will be ornamental as well as useful.
E.W. Morrill and a party of friends went to
Gun Lake Saturday, and the lake is three feet
lower than it was. More than 50 bass, 400
perch and a lot of cod is the story they tell.
