Ronald Neideffer has spenta lot of time in local countyjails. Hes the chaplain for theForgotten Man Ministries serv-ing the Osceola and WexfordCounty jails.

According to Neideffer, theForgotten Man Ministries wasstarted in 1966 by a retiredMichigan State Police Trooper.The ministry includes teamsof volunteers that provide Bib-lical one-on-one counseling,Bible correspondence coursesand group studies, discipleshiptraining, and the facilitation ofpastor visits and church wor-ship services.

Neideffer, a retiree from ReedCity who worked for the Michi-gan Department of Transpor-tation, calls it rehabilitationthrough Christ Jesus.

I talk to inmates and tellthem they have to make choic-es, he said. God loves themno matter what theyve done.I talked to a young lady todayand she said she messed up

again ... now we need the For-gotten Woman ministry. Fiftyyears ago if you had one wom-an in the county jail, that wasa lot. The fastest rising rate inthe county jail is the women.

Neideffer works to breakdown barriers with inmates bygetting to know them and devel-oping trust.

I tell them Im not here tojudge what you did, Im here towin your heart to Jesus, he ex-plained. God is the only judgeof our final life. Gods the onlyone that can save them andchange their way of thinking. Icant do that.

The 72-year-old has dedicated11 years to this ministry and

said its a calling from God.Neideffer said that when he

got saved in 1981, his pastordid prison ministry.

Im a licensed evangelist,he explained. I felt called tothe county jails. I told my pas-tor that he got me into the jailstoo.

The reward for him is seeingone person leave jail, attendchurch and never go back tojail.

Its a challenge to get themto change their hearts, headmitted. But I dont want toretire. Gods got too much workfor me. Im busier now thanever.

In addition to heading up

ministry volunteers and visit-

ing inmates, Neideffer has alist of 89 churches in WexfordCounty that hes visiting to getthe word out about the ministryand the need for volunteers.

We let people know we havea jail ministry, a lot of peopledont know, he said.

At a recent fundraising ban-quet, Neideffer reported thatthree former inmates gavetestimonies of how their liveshave changed since they cameto Jesus and found a churchwhere they found friendshipsthat wont lead them back todrugs and alcohol.

Neideffer has been married51 years and has two children,six grandsons and two greatgranddaughters with a grand-son expected in July. In June,Neideffer will head to London,Ohio where to serve as the as-sistant director of a youth sum-mer camp.

EVART Evart Mayor EricSchmidt is a lifelong residentand long time business ownerin town, but the appeal of quietlake life will soon force him toresign as the citys representa-

tive.Schmidt and his family re-

cently purchased property onBig Lake in Sears, and it is thedifference of those few milesthat will force a change in thecitys council.

Because of city charter regu-lations, representatives thatserve on the Evart council mustreside within the city limits.

The process of relocatingfrom his house in town to hislakeside retreat is still ongoing,but Schmidt knows once theprocess in complete, what hewill have to do with regret.

I have one year left on thisterm to serve, and I wish I couldhonor that, but this came upand we were ready to make thechange, he said.

Schmidt has served as the

citys mayor for eight years andassures the Evart communityhe remains the towns biggest

fan and supporter.We (his family) still have

storefronts right downtown,he said. We are proud of Evartand what we do here, but this isjust a rule that needs to be fol-lowed, and I dont want anyoneto think this wasnt consid-ered.

Schmidt predicted it wouldtake over a month to completeall the paperwork on the prop-erty making the move official,and he is busy tying up someloose ends on the council in themeantime.

Schmidt said once his newhomestead is in the new zipcode, he will have to resign fromthe council.

His home inside the city is upfor sale.

An Evart native, Schmidt has

been active in the communityas a public servant and as theowner of several businesses.

We are looking forward tothe home, but in other ways, wearent going anywhere, he said.

What is it?

While it looks like itbelongs in the tool box, itis actually a vintage jaropener.

Our photograph showsit with its up-side, down so that we can showyou the mechanism.

On the far right side ofour image, the little metalrectangle has plyer-liketeeth on the inside (facingthe open area). That rect-angle is one of the twoedges that will grip the lidto your jar and ultimately

help you get it unscrewed.The other edge is curved(to receive the lid); togeth-er they grip any sized lid.

How is that possible?,you ask.

Easy. The handleon the top edge of ourphotograph is actually

a lever which each timeit is squeezed scootchesthe two grips closer toone another. In fact, thatleft side curved grip cantravel the entire distanceof the open rectangle ofour mechanism (it is cur-rently in approximatelythe middle), providingthe option of openingwide mouth or consider-ably smaller jars. And just because they could,the manufacturer added abottle cap opener; it is the

metal hook pointing up-ward on the far left side.

While it is from anolder era, if one shopscarefully on line, the verysame design is still avail-able.

REED CITY An Osceo-a County entertainmententer is taking a leap ofaith-and hoping you willoin them.

For the next two week-nds, The Crossroads The-

tre Guild and Perform-ing Arts Center is bettinghat audiences who like toaugh and listen to good

usic will join a cast ofCatholic comedians for asuper-sized version of a

opular play performed toave reviews many yearsgo.In the many years be-

ore Osceola Countysalented thespians had aermanent home at theurrent Upton Street per-orming art center, theroupe performed a funny

arce entitled Nunsense.The family-friendly

omedy and musical ex-erience gave attendeesglimpse into the livesf a convent full of nunsesiding in Hoboken, Newersey.The popular productionas something of a reli-

ious experience for thosehat attended the shownd spent an eveningaughing along with theovable nuns.

And now that the the-tre company with threeecades of offering liventertainment has a per-anent stage home.So when it came time

o pick a spring show, theuild thought it was timeo bring back those silly

sisters from Mount Saintelens church.And they brought their

unny friends along forhe show.With new twists, new

haracters, music andven more fun, Cross-oads Theatre will beresenting a productionntitled Nunsense: The

ega-Musical.The subject of the show

is exactly what it soundsike: a return of thoseutty nuns and some new

Catholic comedians, allset to music.

Director Jan Renne saidhe motivation for reviv-

ing the show so manyears later-and with aew script, new tunes and

some seriously silly com-dy-was a combination ofommunity requests ander own fond memoriesf the original Nunsense

roduction.It was a fun play that

eople remember, and tosee it come back to life

ith even more greatcting roles, music andaughs just sounded likehe good kind of chal-enge, said Renne, a vet-ran actor and director.And that challengeenne mentioned is thedded preparation neededo involve local actors

with comedic timing, mu-sic and dance.

It is a chance to keepoffering up great stuff tothe community, and thistime, we keep growing bybringing a funny comedy

to Reed City for peopleto enjoy, said Renne ofthe show, which includesmulti-talented actors whowill deliver laughs, musicand a few dance steps.

Local thespians from allover Osceola County willbe portraying women andmen of the cloth, but dontexpect a sermon: thesenuns and fathers are hereto show the audience agood time.

The production will of-fer six chances to join theCatholic comedians for afew hours of entertain-ment.

The play opens this Fri-day, May 15 with a 7 p.m.show.

Other chances includeSaturday, May 16 at 7 p.m.,a Sunday matinee May 17at 2 p.m.

The final performanceswill be the followingweekend, including a 7p.m. show on May 22 and23, with the final chanceon Sunday, May 24 at 2p.m.

Actor Melissa Langwor-thy, a Hersey resident is

one of the many talentedlocal thespians who redis-covered the joy of actingsince Crossroads Theatreobtained a home of itsown.

In 2012, the commu-nity arts organizationobtained property that al-lowed the center a chanceto begin performing fullshows with high produc-tion value.

The long-time theatregroup became owners ofan empty church build-ing, located at 249 Upton

Street in downtown ReedCity, and the center wasreborn.

Thanks to communitysupport, sponsorship,grants and a handful ofdedicated board members,the organization began re-purposing the facility intoa performing arts centercomplete with an elevatedstage, a state-of-the-artlights and sound booth,and a new handicap ac-

cessible entrance andrestroom.

Since the 2012 reopen-ing, the theatre has pro-duced eight successfulplays, with several morein pre-production.

Langworthy, who hasperformed in six Cross-roads productions sincethe theatres reopening in2012, said she was lookingforward to offering an eve-ning of entertainment forattendees.

It is a great comedy,and is a little differentfrom what we have donein the past, she said. Ihavent been in a musicalsince high school, andthis show offers so manyentertainment options.

The upcoming show,about the humorous way agroup of nuns brainstormto get a problem solved,includes a funny script,original music, and alittle dance, too.

I think the biggestchange with this play isthat in addition to being amusical, this comedy alsoincludes audience partici-pation, said Langworthy.We (the nuns on stageand the audience in theseats) are in this togetherand it will be fun to getthat feedback from thecrowd, she added.

Langworthy said watch-ing the theater thrivethanks to positive wordof mouth about entertain-ing shows, grant-fundedbuilding upgrades and lo-cal sponsorship enrichesthe entire county.

This is a way for peoplein the community to showsupport of live theatre inOsceola County, she said.I think it gives depth andculture in the form offamily fun.

BY SHANNA AVERY

SPECIAL TO THE WEEKLY VOICE

Go West, young man,was a statement made fa-mous by public figure Hor-ace Greeley in 1865.

Michigan has seen much

westward movement toand from its lake shorecoasts. From Yankees,who came here from theeast, to Michiganders, wholater branched out to thefar west, the following ac-count looks at some of themigration trends that werecharacteristic of this area.

This area began to seemore settlement by theearly 1860s when AbrahamLincoln signed the Home-stead Act that promisedfree land to those willingto settle on the land andmake improvements onit for at least five years.Many of the early settlersto take advantage of thiscame from New England,Pennsylvania, and particu-larly New York state. Manyalso came from Ohio andIndiana.

Other families camehere from earlier estab-lished settlements in Mich-igan such as those found inSt. Joseph, Branch, Kent,Clinton, Eaton, Oakland,and Saginaw counties.

Often several familiesin a community would mi-

grate together. One wouldscout out a place and bring

back glowing reports, thuspeople who were neigh-bors in one communitywould soon be neighborsin the next.

The greatest influx ofsettlement in the area wasduring the 1880s when log-

ging was at its height.Many Swedish immi-grants, as well as Canadi-ans, were introduced to thearea through working thelumber camps. While some

just followed the logging,others established rootshere.

Some of the Swedishfamilies settled in placeslike Tustin and PinoraTownship.

The Reed City area andsurrounding farmlandssaw substantial Germansettlement. Henry Bittner,one of the oldest Germanresidents in the Reed Cityarea, came by way ofCanada.

Several families whocame from Ontario dur-ing the logging era wereScottish Canadians, suchas the Spears family, whosettled in Pinora Town-ship, and the McLean fam-ily, who settled in Chase.

Some of the first pio-neers in this area beganmigrating westward be-fore settlement reached itsheight. James Blood, thefirst supervisor of Pinora

Township, moved to Kan-sas in the 1870s. Darwin

Knight, the founder of Nir-vana, Lake County, soughthis fortunes in the Dakotasduring the gold rush in1876.

When lumber dwindledhere by the 1890s and early1900s, those who made

their living by loggingchased down the next for-ests waiting for harvestand built up new towns toaccommodate this indus-try.

The lumber trail led topoints further north inMichigan and to locationsin the Upper Peninsula.A number of people fromthe Chase area, includ-ing some of the Wrights,Fralicks, McLeans, andTravis families, continuedlogging in Alger County,U.P. Some local familiesalso settled in Racine andRhinelander, Wisconsin.Some traveled even fur-ther west. Henry Stowemoved to Washington andthe Rosenbergs to Oregon.Colorado and Californiawere also popular desti-nations. Many familiesmoved to Saskatchewan,Canada.

In the early 1900s it wascommon for newly mar-ried couples , such as An-drew Waite and his bride,Hazel Saunders, to pack upand leave for another state.

The Reed City Clarion

announced, After a shortstay with the brides par-

ents, Mr. and Mrs. Saun-ders, they will go to theirfuture home of Sandborn,North Dakota, and withthem go the best wishes oftheir friends. Jan. 6, 1909.

The Reed City Clarionalso reported of follow-

ing moves, Mr. and Mrs.Laughlin and granddaugh-ter Ida Davis left Wednes-day for their new home inMelfort, Saskatchewan,Dominion of Canada. Weare sorry to lose Mr. andMrs. Laughlin. They havelived here a number ofyears. June 14, 1905

Isaac Spears and Thom-as Pease left this week forManitoba and the N.W.Territory. Mr. Spears hassome notion of locatingout there. Aug. 16, 1905

Louis Messenger ofIron Mountain is sayingfarewell to his Chase andBaldwin friends, prepara-tory of moving to Calgary,Alberta. Oct. 20, 1909

Daniel Ringler, a for-mer Chase boy, is visitinghis old home. He has, forthe past few years, traveledextensively in Alaska, andsaw nearly every impor-tant point on the PacificCoast as far south as Cali-fornia. Oct. 20, 1909

Mr. and Mrs. SamuelReynolds, formerly of thisplace, left for Saskatch-ewan this week Tuesday

to make their future home.Nearly all their children

are there securing them-selves good homes. Nov.20, 1912

Some people who ven-tured off came back, Mr.and Mrs. Conrad Messnerand daughter Leia havereturned from Centralia,

Washington. Conrad saysthat Michigan is goodenough for him. ReedCity Clarion: Jan. 1, 1908.

After 1910, many peoplerelocated to the cities suchas Flint, Muskegon, Mid-land, and Detroit, to workin the auto industry andother companies that be-came prominent in Michi-gans economy.

While many familieswere moving out of the ar-ea by the early 1900s, otherfamilies were moving in.The area saw a greaternumber of families comefrom cities like Chicago,bringing a potpourri ofethnic mix such as Rus-sian, Bohemian, Polish,Italian, and other variousbackgrounds.

Many of these familieswere drawn to the area byreal estate ads in city pa-pers that advertised goodcheap farmland, but thisfarmland was often cutover land scrapped fromthe logging days. Of thislater wave of settlers, theones who claimed farm-land west of Chase didnt

always have an easy timegetting crops to grow in

the Lake County sands.The Reed City Clarion

gave an account of suchfamilies who came, Jo-seph Kubicek of Kansas,arrived a few days agowith a family of six and acarload of goods. He has

bought 560 acres, includ-ing the buildings of theMerrill ranch, for the sumof $14,500, Oct. 6, 1906

Mr. Deital and family ofChicago are moving on theFrank Smith place, northof Chase, which they haverecently leased with theprivilege of purchasing.Oct. 6, 1906.

The resort communityof Idlewild, Lake County,established in 1912, servedas a tourist destinationand haven for AfricanAmericans during harshtimes of segregation andunjust laws. When theCivil Rights Act of 1964opened up other resortsto African Americans,the height of Idlewilds50 years of popularity de-clined, but there remainsa community rich in heri-tage and culture.

Study of historical docu-ments and paper trailsgives an idea of the widerange of people who came,who left, and who stayed inthe area. Each individual,each family, and each cul-ture, left an imprint on the

character of the communi-ties we call home.

REED CITY If youbuild it, they will come.

So says the popularfarming, and baseball,related movie Field ofDreams, and so goes theplan growing behind themidwests only school geo-desic biodome.

For years, the schoolsgrowing dome has beenpart of the Reed City HighSchool science curricu-lum, and each year, a newclass of students beginslearning about the scienceof agriculture not from atextbook, but from hands-on experience.

They use aquaponics,

hydroponics and tradi-tional growing systems toraise crops, which in turnare used in the school caf-eteria, or are prepared to

sell in order to continue tofund the garden projects.This year is no excep-

tion, but in addition to theteens growing and sellingplants and flowers to mem-bers of the communitythis spring, the studentshave prepared a series ofready-to-grow garden bedsfor the schools first evercommunity garden.

Educator Brad Smithsaid with extra spacebehind the school forgrowing, it was a chanceto offer up land for othersto grow their own food

sources.And the price is right.The garden beds will be

assigned to local organi-zations or individuals on

a first come, first servebasis, and the growers willbe responsible for caringfor their plants during thesummer months, from wa-tering to harvesting.

Smith said the securelyenclosed garden bedsbehind the dome, willprovide water access forthe gardeners, but withschool out for the summer,the participants will needto check on their growththemselves.

This is a chance to havethe kids build somethingwith the beds, and see the

value of reaching out tothe community, he said.It just seemed like a greatschool-community connec-tion.

The 8-foot-by-16-inchseries of beds are intendedfor anyone who doesnthave enough space to growtheir own food sources.

For more information,

email Smith at [email protected], callthe high school at (231)832-2224 or the Reed CityChamber at (231) 832-5431.

In addition to the gar-dens, the biodome, anoutdoor classroom, willbe opening its doors to theentire community for aone-day project.

During the school dayof May 27, the communityis invited to come to theschool and check out thebiodomes progress.

In addition to tours ofthe facilities, the studentswill have some seedlings,flowers and other plantsfor sale, which help fundthe program.

Monday, May 25


Students in some of the biodome science courses have been hard at work building and tending tothe new community garden project. In addition to an open house for the community, groups andindividuals can now grow their own food source for free behind the dome.


If you build it, they will come: that is the idea behind a new Reed City School project, a free commu-nity garden built by the students and offered to community members.
