Grapes go back to Bronze Age
The history of grapes goes back to the Bronze Age,* for seeds have been found and dated from that era, says Arleen Arnold, Michigan State University food marketing agent in Detroit There were said to be grapes in the Garden of Eden; Moses spoke of grapes, too. Grapes have been around for a long, long time. Concord grapes are one variety of the so-called “Eastern”

grapes. Like the other Eastern grapes. Concords are rather small and have seeds that cling to the pulp, which separates easily from the skins. Concord grapes are easily crushed so they’re not usually shipped for long distances or sold in large quantities. This most commonly grown U.S. variety of grape is not widely sold as a table grape because of poor handling qualities, but it is often available in local grocery stores, roadside markets or on backyard trellises. You will recognize this variety by its blue-black color and its medium size. Fredonia, another variety of
grape, is often mistaken for the Concord. They are very much alike, but the Fredonia ripens sooner and is slightly larger. Most people know the name “Concord” so they sometimes buy Fredonias thinking they are Concords. No harm done, for Fredonias are as good as Concords for conserves, jellies, jams, jilice and grape desserts. When buying Concords or any other grape, look for mature, plump berries that are firmly attached to the stems and which are a good color for the variety. Avoid grapes that are attached to brittle stems and which are wet or moldy or that have a shriveled or dull appearance. Now is the time to buy grapes if you plan to put up jellies, jams or juice, because the season only lasts a short while. When you get your grapes home either go to work right away and preserve them immediately, or else pick them over for crushed or spoiled berries, then store them in a cool dry place. Grapes store well for a few days in the refrigerator. Do not wash grapes until you are ready to use them. Grapes are not known for their nutritional value, though they do provide fiber for good digestion and sugar for quick energy. Calorie count for grapes is moderate, however. A whole cupful of Concords provides only 70 calories. Os course, if you make them into jam or jelly, you’ll have to readjust the calorie count. Leesburg resident in accident A car driven by Linda S. Welling, 35, r 2 Leesburg, and a car operated by Vang Somsavath, 52, Fort Wayne, collided at the corner of East Center and South Court streets, Warsaw, at 3:30p.m. Thursday, Oct. 5.

Dr. Anglin director of project at KSU
Dr. Leo Anglin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leq Anglin of Leesburg and a Milford High School graduate, was featured in an article in the Record-Courier, Ravenna-Kent, Ohio, paper on Thursday, Aug. 24. Portions of the article have been reprinted below. In the history of Kent State University, one thing has stayed constant. That is the college of education has maintained a reputation in excellence. In a recent confirmation of the reputation, Kent State received a sl.l million grant from the U.S. Office of Education and the money will support the extensive national Teachers Corps project that has involved the.{Akron public schools in the upcoming five years. The concern of the project is strengthening educational opportunities for the students and development of teachers, staff and involvement of community programs. The five year project will combine the efforts of the Kent State faculty, the Akron public school personnel and members of the North Hill community in Akron. North Hill has met the federal requirements for the study mainly because it is largely a low income area with a mixture of black and white ethnic persons. “Within the guidelines of the grant, the community members will work as equal partners with the university and the public schools,” said Dr. Anglin, who is

director of the project and assistant professor of education at Kent State. Anglin said that a community council of 17 will be elected from the North Hill area. Two areas of general interest previously defined by the community are parent education and after school programs. “Parents want-to know more about what is going on in the schools and how they can help their children at home,” he said. “They also are interested in what the kids are doing after school and in developing some kinds of community initiated activities. According to Anglin the fiveyear period of the program is a big advantage. “One of the goals of Congress in creating Teachers Corps was to provide the time to identify a site, develop a program and do it right,” he said. “After the program is developed, the purpose of the grant is to work with other schools in the Akron area so that what we’ve learned can be shared and that’s a very important part,” he noted. Anglin has worked in the Teacher Corps projects before coming to Kent Sate two years ago. During his graduate work at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, he was involved with Teacher Corps policy on a national level as well as his primary involvement in a local project with Menominee Indians who were starting their own school.
Wed., October 11,1978— THE MAIL JOURNAL
Bucher petition is approved
The preliminary plat for Wayne Bucher for a development west of Dewart Lake in Van Buren Township was approved by the Kosciusko County Area Plan Commission in its regular meeting last Wednesday afternoon. Bucher would like to develop a man-made ski lake, similar to Camelot Lake of the Valley. The 15 lots would have easement to the lake, with the land around the lake set aside for common use. The commission asked Bucher to further define how the land around the lake would be used. Bucher was also told he would have to obtain a surety bond to assure a road in line with county standards. In other business, the commission denied a petition by Jerry Stahl to rezone five acres from an agricultural to a light industrial district. The property, a five-acre tract of land, is located on the southeast corner of the intersection of CR 600E and CR 350 N in Tippecanoe Township. Stahl uses the land to make boat covers of canvas and wishes to expand his business. The commission was concerned that Stahl could move his business and another type of industry, totally unrelated to the lake area business, move in there. The board recommended Stahl go before the Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals for an extension of a non-conforming use. Commissioners Disagree Stahl’s petition was heard before the Kosciusko County Commissioners last Thursday. The commissioners rejected the plan commission’s recommendation and rezoned the land for light industrial use. The commissioners first agreed with the planning board and felt Stahl should go before the board of zoning appeals. They changed their minds, however, when a dispute arose concerning when Stahl was told he could go before the zoning appeal board. Kosciusko County area plan director Dan Richards commented, “He could go before the board of zoning appeals — this was told to him when he originally applied for a nonconforming use.” Stahl disagreed saying, “No, it wasn’t. When I applied, they told me that I might as well go home because I couldn’t get a building there. And Dan knows when he

An 8.9 acre tract of land was rezoned from agricultural to a residential district. The land, owned by E. Preston Johnson, is located at the intersection of CR 400 N and CR 700E, north of Big Barbee Lake in Tippecanoe Township. Also approved was the rezoning of a 5.1 acre tract of land on the west side of Ridinger Lake Road in Tippecanoe Township to a residential district from agricultural. The petition was filed by Dean Burchard. Finally, the board dropped a petition filed by Jim Chiddister to rezone 214.6 acres located north of Armstrong Road and southwest of James Lake in Tippecanoe Township. Chiddister wanted the land rezoned from an agricultural to a residential district. Several persons were present to object the petition. If it is refiled, it would have to be readvertised and adjacent property owners re-notified. The commission will meet in executive session October 25 to discuss the county mobile home ordinance and guidelines tor roads in new subdivisions. All decisions will be presented to the public at a later date. The next regular meeting is November 1.
