ONE MORNING last week Derk Kuhn reportedly saw a coyote run across the road near the Ron Schwartz residence on Old SR 15, north of Milford. Derk says coyotes are pretty common in this area — especially during the spring mating season. Although nearby neighbors Steve and Sherry Weisser haven’t noticed any of these predators around their farm, it’s pretty certain the family’s peacocks will let them know if one should appear.

New Paris Produce — due to health reasons and just feeling it was time to have some time for themselves. Over the years, their three children were at one time or another involved in helping with the business. Their daughter, Kay, and her husband, Clark Stump, reside in the Gravelton area. Their son, Garry, and his wife, Jeannie, and children, Jennifer and Danny, have lived in Berrien Springs, Mich., nearly five years. Youngest son, Brad and his wife, Cheryl, live just a few miles south of town with their two daughters, Stephanie, five, and Tarina, four, and one-year-old son, Bradley.

She notes, “It has been a wonderful service I ” The service Berniece and a large number of other residents are so happy about is the result of the purchase of the leaf vacuum which was pictured in the column earlier this fall. The street department employees make daily “sweeps” with the machine to suck up the leaves left along the side of the streets by the town’s residents. THE NOVEMBER issue of CTB News contains several interesting articles including the fact that McCTB, Taco Bar and chicken are typical fare at popular Chore-Time Luncheons which are served the second Wednesday of each month.
