Evart nurse puts patients in chargeBy Andy duffy

Weekly Voice

EVART — Evart nurse Jenny Weinberg has a mission--to en-sure the wishes of those suffer-ing from terminal illnesses are honored. “It is their journey,” she said. “We support that.”

Weinberg is a nurse with Hos-pice of Michigan. She has been working with the organization for almost six years. Despite the late-night trips and the trag-edy she sees around her, she seems undaunted by her work.

“I feel like it is a privi-lege to serve people,” Weinberg said. “When they have a terminal ill-ness, that is a time they really need help and sup-port.”

She has seen a lot of heart wrench-ing events. Especially tragic are those times when her patients are young. Often people in those situations face pressure from family members to receive treatment they may not want.

Other tough situations in-volve working with the families of pediatric patients. Weinberg has worked with parents who knew before the birth that their unborn child had trisomy 18, a rare chromosomal abnormal-ity that causes severe physical defects. Often children with the condition are stillborn. Some of the parents didn’t even take a baby car seat when the mother went into labor because they didn’t think their child would ever leave the hospital. Of those born alive, fewer than

10 percent reach their first birthday.

Sometimes doctors suggest abortions when the abnormal-ity is discovered before birth. Weinberg suggests the parents consult with a perinatal hos-pice to learn about alternatives.

“Sometimes you go to a doc-tor and he treats you like, ‘I know best; do as I say,’” Wein-berg said.

Hospice programs can offer support to parents and teach them what to expect. Hospice nurses can also assist with com-

fort measures and offer respite.Weinberg emphasizes that

she doesn’t do her work alone: She is part of an interdisciplin-ary team that includes social workers and doctors. The doc-tors working with Hospice of Michigan are palliative care certified — they are trained to relieve pain and symptoms. They “are excellent physicians who help us care for our pa-tients well.”

Patients who choose hospice care are embracing the life they have left. Her patients know

Weinberg cares about their quality of life, so they tell her about the items they cross off their bucket lists.

By working with patients to manage their symptoms, Wein-berg has been able to help some people to greatly improve their quality of life.

Despite their frail conditions, they began to enjoy the life they had left. It is stories like those that keep Weinberg going.

“Once you’ve done this,” she said, “it is hard thinking about just going to work.”

EVART — One-hundred-fifty cars rolled into Evart for the community’s annual car show. The Evart Car Club has been sponsoring the event since 1993.

“The show was a success. We had good weather for a change. Overall, I’m quite satisfied with the way it came out,” club president Jim Rohen said.

The club holds the show each year during the Labor Day weekend. Rohen said the 150 cars entered in the show is probably the new average. Competing auto shows, he said, have reduced the number of entries.

Dave Sherburn of Scot-tville was one of those who entered a car in the show. This was his third year to attend the event.

“They should be proud here in Evart,” Sherburn said. “They have a really good show.”

He likes the Evart show, he said, “because the awards are given fairly.” At some shows, he said, the on-

ly people to receive awards are the members of the lo-cal car club that is sponsor-ing the event. He also likes the Evart show because of its location. It is held on the grass at Riverside Park in-stead of in a parking lot or on a street.

Sherburn, who entered

his 1956 Dodge Cornet, said he attends lots of auto shows and the Evart event is in the “do not miss” cat-egory.

The Evart show “is very well organized. The people running it know what they’re doing,” he said.

Sherburn said he often

tells his friends in Scottville about the Evart show. This year, eight of them came to Evart with him instead of attending a competing show. “I know where they will be next year,” he said.

Evart car show made Scottville man’s ‘do not miss’ list


Dave Sherburn of Scottville entered his 1956 Dodge Cornet in last weekend’s annual Evart Car Club car show. The car’s color remains its original Chinese Rose Pink and Charcoal. Chrysler used those colors in 1955, 56 and 57, Sherburn said. The car has been repaint-ed once. Sherburn has owned the car for 14 years.


This 1923 Hudson made an appearance at Saturday’s annual Evart Car Show. The Evart Car Club spon-sors the Labor Day weekend show each year. The Hudson Motorcar Co. began building its first cars in 1910.


This 1962 Chrysler 300 with just 11,652 original miles on it was one of 150 vehicles entered in the Evart Car Club’s show Saturday.

Kristen Thaller of Riverdale owns this 1968 ford Mustang. Kristin received the car for her 40th birthday. It was one of the clas-sic cars that were brought to Evart’s annual Labor Day weekend auto show.

What is it? will return next week.

The community of Chase is up to its elbows in pick-les.

The history of pickles in the community of Chase is not unlike several other towns that had a pickle salting station.

Many a family would toil over their pickle patch and haul the pickling cucum-bers to the local salting station where they were sorted by size. The smaller the cucumber, the bigger the price it brought in.

Chase is celebrating its 3rd annual Pickle Festival on Sept. 12, with activities commencing at noon at the Chase library and park grounds.

Residents have fond memories of the pickle station which was lo-cated south of U.S. 10 and aligned the Flint and Pere Marquette railroad track toward the west end of the village.

The J. H. Johnson Pickle Company agreed to locate a salting station in Chase in 1912. The salting station was later called Squire Din-gee, owned by Ma Brown Pickle Preserves and Mus-tards based in Chicago.

The Chase station served as a point to sort, salt and store the pickles until there was demand for more at the company in Chicago where they were packaged and distributed to stores for sale

The salting station con-

sisted of a large roof on a frame, approximately 100 feet wide by 400 feet, or more, long. Under the roof sat 56 wooden vats that would hold from 500 to 1,000 bushels a piece. A train siding ran the length of the building.

The station would buy from anyone, but local farmers who wished to could sign a contract to de-liver an amount of pickles based on the amount of land cultivated — a quarter pound of seed per quarter acre were given to the con-tracted farmers. The crop would then be purchased by the pound, with 50 pounds to a bushel. Pickles were also purchased at buying stations in Reed City and Luther that were trucked to Chase for salt-

ing.The pickles were sorted

according to size and dumped into the appropri-ate vat from a platform. Salt was then poured over the pickles, and it was all weighted down with a wooden cross and a lid secured on top. The brine was tested for quality on a regular basis, and more salt was added as needed until it reached the 60 per-cent level required.

The salt was delivered by boxcar, 40 tons to a carload, and it would have to be unloaded and put into the salt bins within two days for the company to avoid having to pay more to the railroad.

The salt would become hardened to the consis-tency of cement due to

absorbing moisture, and sometimes it was neces-sary to blast it loose with dynamite.

The shipping was done with tank cars which held a total of 1000 bushels in four small vats. The plat-form was about even with the top of the car and a crew of four men would dip out the pickles into a wheelbarrow, push it up to the roof of the car and dump them through holes into the vats below.

The station stayed open year round. Although the buying stopped with the first frost, the salted pick-les would not freeze and would remain in place un-til in demand again from the Chicago company.

By 1955, the salting sta-tion closed down, but 60

years later it is still a cel-ebrated part of a commu-nity that relied on agricul-ture in the post lumber-era.

Every year the Chase Pickle festival has a local historical theme. This year marks the 140th an-niversary of the Battle of Chase, the bloody struggle over the Lake County Seat. On that infamous day Baldwin came to town and ransacked the county safe and the county seat from Chase. There will be a reen-actment.

Among other activities there will be a homemade pickle tasting contest, pick-le throwing contest, pickle derby race, dress a pickle contest, coloring contest, family games throughout the day, sawdust money hunt, Dynamite the Clown,

dodge ball tournament, 3 on 3 basketball tourna-ment, evening hayride, mu-sic throughout the day and live music at night.

Along with pickle themed food, there will be a craft, book and bake sale, a silent auction and raffle.

All proceeds will go to the Chase library, a place where the local heritage stays alive through local artifacts, record archives and research.

At the Chase Creek Smoke House there will also be a Chicken BBQ din-ner and car show at 1 p.m. to benefit the library.

For any inquiries and schedule of events con-tact the Chase Township Library or check out the Chase Pickle Festival face-book page.

EVART — An old Tool-cat is the Evart’s most used piece of equipment, the supervisor of the Department of Public works told the city coun-cil Tuesday. He asked the council to buy another one.

The Toolcat the city currently owns has six attachments that enable it to be used for a variety of tasks. The attach-ments would be inter-changeable with the new machine. It would be useful to be able to use two attachments at once, DPW supervisor Mark Wilson said.

City workers value the Toolcat because it is light and does less dam-age to lawns and infra-structure than heavier pieces of equipment do. The machine is still ser-viceable, but it is show-ing its age, Wilson said. He is uncertain how old the piece of equipment is, but believes it was manufactured in the ’80s.

The council agreed to spend $59,842 for a new Toolcat. The city will keep the old Toolcat but will sell a tractor it is currently using.

Following discussion, the council agreed to de-cide later which budget categories would be used

to make the purchase.The new Toolcat will

have a three-point hitch and a power take-off. Wilson said it will be able to clear snow away from Main Street’s bumpouts better than a truck can. Toolcats are utility work machines manufactured by Bobcat.

In other business, Al Weinberg, the director of Evart’s Downtown Development Authority, told the council that the summer concert series drew larger crowd’s than last year’s concerts. At-tendance still remained below the numbers he had hoped for. Inclem-ent weather threatened all but three of the con-certs, Weinberg said. Still, this summer’s concerts took in almost $5,000 more in donations than last year’s.

Weinberg also reported that he is going to start a naming campaign for the city’s pocket park. He would also like to raise money for the purchase of benches and garbage cans for the park.

The DDA received no bids for the purchase of the old Corner Cupboard restaurant. Weinberg plans to extend the bid period and to also accept bids for the demolition of the building.

The council meet-ing was moved from its usual Monday because of the Labor Day holi-day. The next scheduled meeting date is Sep. 21.

Reed City linebacker Taylor Pelton (54) breaks up a pass intended for Tri County junior Quentin Stevens (80) during the first half of a CSAA Gold Division match up Thursday.

REED CITY — The title defense is underway.

Reed City, the four-time defending Central State Activities Association champion, got the drive for No. 5 off to a good start as it rolled past Tri County 60-17 Thursday night.

While a second straight easy win is a plus, Reed City coach Monty Price is making sure his team stays grounded.

“It’s a great to start off CSAA com-petition with a good win,” Price said. “We’ve still got a lot of work to do, though.

“We’ve got to heal up and go back to work. We’ve got Newaygo this week and that’s been a great rivalry the past couple of years.”

The Coyotes left no doubt as to who the better team was on Thursday. They led Tri County 36-0 after the first quarter and were up 44-14 at halftime.

Andre Jones had another big night for Reed City with 244 yards and three touchdowns on seven carries. Jones had TD runs of 76, 59 and 46 yards and had a touchdown return for an interception to boot.

Colin Hatfield recorded 49 yards and a TD on seven carries while Logan Straub added 98 yards and a score on six carries. Gabe Miller had 55 yards and a TD on five carries.

Reed City totaled 451 yards rush-ing.

Taylor Pelton led the way defen-sively with seven tackles and an interception while Straub and An-gel Estrada each had five tackles. Landon Evans had four tackles and an interception.

The Coyotes (2-0 overall, 1-0 CSAA Gold) are at Newaygo on Sept. 11.

Evart’s Danny Griffin (6) is tackled by Harrison’s Hunter Dollen (56) during a kick return in the first half of a non conference game Friday. Evart lost the contest 33-6.

EVART — Evart coach Pat Craven already knows what his team is and isn’t just two weeks into the season.

He also knows that it shows its youth from time to time. Last week, his team showed it also has a toughness, but a talented Harrison team was too much late in the game resulting in a 33-6 loss for the Wildcats.

“We are a capable football team, but we don’t have a lot of depth so we have to make it happen. I was proud of the kids because they played (Harrison) tough,” Craven said.

The Hornets jumped out to an 8-0 lead after the first quarter and led Evart 14-0 at the half. Despite his defense giving up 14 points, Craven felt it was playing well against a team deter-mined to use its experience and talent to jam the ball down their throats. While the Wild-cats’ bent in the first half, they never broke.

Unfortunately for Evart, the offense was un-able to get any momentum or put together a lengthy drive.

The score remained 14-0 heading into the fourth quarter, but the Hornets scored an additional 19 points while the Wildcats’ lone score was a 95 yard kick off return by Danny Griffin.

“We have got to keep working to get bet-ter. We have some injuries we have to fight through and we have to do the best we can with what we have,” Craven said.

Cody Pritchard had seven carries for 63 yards for the Wildcats while Robbie Tapling went 5 for 12 passing for 34 yards and two in-terceptions. Chris Imhoff paced Evart on de-fense with six tackles and one fumble recovery.

Evart (1-1) travels to McBain on Sept. 11 to start its Highland Conference schedule.
