Happenings
It's quiet at the home of Mil and Vern Leenhouts, on Union Street, since Stuart and (their daughter) Joan Bornstein and family left for their home in Tappan, after spending the Christmas holiday with the folks. Gordon and I had family members in for New Year's Eve for snacks and games, and an overnight which extended on to New Year's Day with more games. A lot of shoveling and a late dinner of new recipes for the New Year! On January 16 and 17 the School Board will host a reception to give the community and staff an opportunity to meet the finalists for the position of Superintendent of Schools. The reception will be 6-7 p.m. in the High School Library. At 6:20 the candidate will make a brief presentation. All community members are invited to be a part of the interviewing process. Your attendance is encouraged and we hope you will bring your friends and neighbors as well. The boys seventh-grade soccer team finished with a 6-0-3 record.

Judy White presented the Ministry of Music on January 7 at the Second Reformed Church. Todd Dykhuizen has returned home following surgery. The American Legion will be serving a roast beef supper on Jan. 12. JANUARY 13, 1917: C.C. Potter has closed his tailor shop on Main Street. L.A. Shoales has the laundry business which he conducted and Mrs. Wilcox will do pressing and repairing in the Murphy House on Buffalo Street. 'If you eat too many doughnuts, you'll turn into one.' With the weather we have been having I have been thinking of the Heritage Stew we served during the Bicentennial year. Roast a turkey till well done. Bone turkey and make a broth with drippings. To each 4 cups of turkey add: 2 cups chunked celery and leaves, 2 cups chunked carrots, 2 cups chunked potatoes, 2 cups lima beans and 1 cup corn. Cover with broth and cook until vegetables are tender. Add salt to taste. Thicken with corn starch. The Red Ribbon Committee and the SOC (Supporting our Children) Group co-sponsored 'Make a Difference Day.' Many community groups, such as Girl Scout Troop 180, Boy Scout Troop 137, 4-H group, SOC, St. Gregory's TIC (Teens in Community), and various student and family groups joined together to do odd jobs in and around town. By doing good deeds in the community (which included raking leaves, washing windows, working at the Library Book Sale and the Marion Food Pantry) these various groups showed that they care about the people who live here
