The Hastings Banner — Thursday, October 28, 2021 — Page 7Ramona Mae (Osborne) Chamberlin
passed away peacefully October 21, 2021
surrounded by family. She was 86.
Mona was born December 13, 1934 in
Nashville, to Laurence Wesley Osborne and
Jennie Mae (Mullen) Osborne. As a young
girl, she and her family moved to her grand-
parents’ farm at the corner of Osborne Road
and M-43. Mona graduated from Delton-
Kellogg School in 1952, salutatorian and
president of her class. That same summer, she
married her high school sweetheart Robert
Chamberlin. The couple spent the next 61
years together until Bob’s death in 2014.
After graduation, Mona went to work in
the finance department of the Fort Custer
training base, preparing “mustering-out”
checks to help soldiers returning from the
Korean War transition to civilian life. She
eventually left the job to focus on raising her
five children.
Heavily active in her community, Mona
volunteered in classrooms and on boosters
clubs for school band and athletics. She
served as a 4-H and Campfire Girls leader,
and taught Sunday School and Bible School
at the Delton Methodist Church. In the sum-
mers, she and Bob took their family on camp-
ing trips across the country in a converted
school bus.
Passionate about books and reading, Mona
returned to work in 1973 as the librarian for
Delton Middle School, where she served until
her retirement in 1989. After, she volunteered
every week at the Delton Public Library until
2020.
A polio survivor, Mona spent six months in
Borgess Hospital in 1954—just a few months
before the Salk vaccine was available. While
she recovered, the illness left Mona with
diminished use of her legs. Her disability
worsened over time but did little to slow her
down. She and Bob enjoyed summers in
Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, winters in
Florida, Detroit Tigers baseball games, and
an untold number of grandchildren’s—and
eventually great grandchildren’s—school
events.
She was preceded in death by her parents;
three brothers, Kenneth, Robert and Richard;
her husband Bob; and a grandson, Clay
Daniel Blaesser.
Mona is survived by her five children:
Rebecca (Donald) Blaesser of Plymouth;
Kim (Brian) McCool of Delton; Julie
(Kenneth) Osgood of Delton; Daniel
(Maryellen) Chamberlin of Kalamazoo; and
Mark (Denise) Chamberlin of Delton; nine
grandchildren: Craig (Kathleen) McCool;
Meghan (Ronald) Widerberg; Chelsea
(Casey) Schaub; Ross (Shannon) Osgood;
Robert (Amanda) Blaesser; Caitlin
Chamberlin; Monica (Ben) Blaesser; Macy
(Keith) Nyenhuis; and Callan (Addie)
Chamberlin; and 10 great grandchildren:
Bryson, Olive, Lincoln, Ruby, Maren,
William, Claudia, Dennis, Milo, and Piper.
Mona’s family received friends on Sunday,
Oct. 24, at the Williams-Gores Funeral Home.
Mona’s funeral service was conducted on
Monday, Oct. 25, 2021, at Faith United
Methodist Church, Pastor Sam Gordy offici-
ating. Burial took place at Prairieville
Cemetery.
Memorial contributions may be made to
the Delton District Library or the Delton
Kellogg Education Foundation. Please visit

and Eric Thomas Reed, Reed CityGetting a rise out of common ingredients
Dr. Universe:
What’s the purpose of baking soda?
What’s the purpose of baking powder?
What’s the difference between the two?
Kyle, 9, FloridaDear Kyle,
When I got your question, I headed
straight to my kitchen cabinet. I grabbed
some baking soda and baking powder from
the shelf and made some observations.
Not only did the baking soda and baking
powder look similar to one another but both
contained an ingredient called sodium bicar-
bonate.
To find out more about this mysterious
ingredient, I talked to my friend Stephanie
Smith, a professor who teaches food sci-
ence at Washington State University.
She reminded me sodium bicarbonate is
a chemical compound. A compound is
something made up of atoms or molecules.
This particular chemical compound can
react with certain ingredients to create ten-
der and fluffy textures in our baked goods.
While baking powder and baking soda
may have a similar purpose, they work inslightly different ways, Smith adds.
If you’ve ever mixed baking soda and
vinegar together, you know what happens:
The mixture foams up quickly. As this hap-
pens, the mixture lets off a gas called car-
bon dioxide.
The carbon dioxide gas is actually what
helps give everything from muffins to
cookies and cakes their nice, fluffy tex-
tures. The gas creates small pockets of air
in cookie dough or cake batter. It ultimately
helps the final product puff up.
Baking soda is just sodium bicarbonate.
It needs a couple of things to help it react
with other ingredients in our mixing bowls.
First, it needs an acid. There are all kinds of
acids in our world. When it comes to bak-
ing, some of the common acids we use are
buttermilk or lemon juice.
Once you have an acid, you’ll also need a
liquid, such as water or milk. Then the car-
bon dioxide bubbles will be able to form.
Meanwhile, baking powder is actually
just baking soda, plus some dry acid. Since
it already has the acid, all you have to do is
add water or another liquid to get those
carbon dioxide bubbles.Another ingredient we sometimes use in
the kitchen creates carbon dioxide gas, too.
Perhaps you’ve heard of it before. Unlike
baking soda and baking powder, this partic-
ular ingredient is a living organism.
It’s an ingredient that is also often used
in making bread or pizza dough. If you are
thinking of yeast, you are correct. Yeast is a
kind of microbe that can eat the sugar in
dough and release carbon dioxide gas to
help bread rise.
Whether you are using yeast, baking
soda or baking powder, there sure is a lot of
science that goes into making baked goods
rise and get fluffy. You know, the kitchen is
a great place to ask big questions about
how and why things work.
Maybe one day your questions will lead
you even further into the fascinating worlds
of baking, chemistry or even food science.Dr. Universe

a debt. Any information we obtain will be used for
that purpose.
Notice of foreclosure by advertisement. Notice is
given under section 3212 of the revised judicature
act of 1961, 1961 PA 236, MCL 600.3212, that the
following mortgage will be foreclosed by a sale of
the mortgaged premises, or some part of them, at
a public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash
or cashier’s check at the place of holding the circuit
court in Barry County, Michigan, starting promptly at
one o’clock in the afternoon on Thursday, the 2nd
day of December, 2021. The amount due on the
mortgage may be greater on the day of the sale.
Placing the highest bid at the sale does not au-
tomatically entitle the purchaser to free and clear
ownership of the property. A potential purchaser is
encouraged to contact the county register of deeds
office or a title insurance company, either of which
may charge a fee for this information.
The mortgage was made by ERIC B. HUTCH-
ENS, a single man (“Mortgagor”), to HASTINGS

ing an office at 150 West Court Street, Hastings,

ter the Mortgagor is given notice pursuant to MCLA
