The Hillman Township Tiger Paw Park is ready for
summer activities! On April 27 volunteers from Hftlman
Township; Chuck and Pam Shout, Joe and Sharon
Vanderveer and little helper Kadyn, Teresa Elowsky, Joe
Kennard and Peggy Boldrey all came down to Tiger Paw
Park to clean up and haul chips to put under playground
equipment. The concession and bathrooms have been
newly repaired and painted, due to some unfortunate
vandalism we experienced last summer. The park
restrooms are opened every morning and closed in the
evening. Please feel free to come and have a picnic or
even a family reunion, and use our park with no fees.
However, please keep in mind that the parkis not exclu-
sive and other activities may be happening.
The park is ready for activity! Thankyou to all those who
help make the park a success every year. On May 11, the
park was open for business and HiUman Little League
started with opening day. The park was full of kids and
families playing ball, eating hot dogs from the Little
Leagues fabulous concession stand, and playing on the
equipment. The games, concessions and playground
are open to anyone who would like to come and watch or
play. Please feel free to join us at this wonderful facility.
Please also talk to your kids about respecting our park.
Please clean up after yourselves and keep the bath-
rooms in order. We work very hard and spend a lot of
money on maintenance and clean-up to keep this a
prime playground for all our communities and visitors
from all over.

To our valued patients:
It is my responsibility to inform you that due to
the downturn in the economy, and the resultant
decrease in the demand for dental treatment,
I have made the decision to close down my
office effective June 28, 2013. Therefore, you
should begin looking for another dentist.
Oftentimes, the recommendation of friends
and relatives or contacting the local dental
society, are ways to locate another dentist.
With your permission, copies of the pertinent
information from your records can be made
available to the dentist of your choosing.
Please do not hesitate to telephone us during
normal business hours before June 28, 2013
if you have any questions.
After the closing date, all inquires about the
records or other matters should be directed to
Dr. Henry F. Herlick, 9811 Big Pine St,, Atlanta,
MI49709.
It has been our pleasure to serve your dental
needs and we thank you for your patronage.
Sincerely, Dr. Henry F. Herlick
by Y nm The council for the Village of Hftlman
Staff reporter approved site plans for a food trailer to
be located on property on State St. The motion to ap-
prove included encouraging the owner of the trailer to
hook up to the village sewer system within the next year.
At the regular council meeting on May 21, discussion
tookplace about whether a removable tankin a restroom
building on the propertywould be sufficient. Myron
Mclntire, council president, said there was nothing in
the zoning to prohibit the trailer, but Wilbur Funk,
trustee, said he didn't want to set a precedent for future
businesses.
"I think we should require him to at least hook up to the
sewer," Funk said.
Brenda South, village clerk, said the business was ex-
pected to be seasonal and didn't pose'a hazard.
"The guy spent money, and I think we need to encour-
age him as much as we can," South said.
McIntire estimated the owner of the biasiness had in-
vested about $25,000 in the trailer in preparation for
selling food.
In other village business:
• After some discussion, the council otedin favor of the
amendment to the solid waste management plan that
includes gas recovery and waste to energy. Funk and Jim
Stoddard voted in opposition after indicating they
wanted more information.
• A motion passed in favor of paying up to $592 for the
striping of paths within the village.
• The council members consented to learning more
about and possibly bidding on a 1999 Intemational
dump truck with 66,000 miles.

Ok, you have gotten your soft test results, and you're
looking at this sheet with graphs and numbers and it all
can be like trying to read Greek, but with a little time and
explanation you will be on your way!
Report Terms - Results may be listed in ppm (parts per
million) or pounds per acre. To convert from ppm to
pounds multiply by 2, and to convert from pounds per
acre to ppm divide by 2.
Ratings - Most soil test readings on the report are given
a rating of very low, low, medium, optimum, or very high.
The rating bars are color coded to the rating scale across
the top. The purpose of these rating is to provide a
general guideline for determining the optimum nutrient
levels. However, the actual value that is best depends on
many factors such as crop, yield potential, and soft type.
Soil Analysis
Soil pH -The soil pH measures active soft acidity or
alkalinity. A pH of 7.0 is neutral. Values lower than 7.0 are
acid; values higher are alkaline. Usually the best pH
range for mineral softs is 6.0 to 7.0 and for organic softs 5.0
to 5.5. The soil pH is the value that should be maintained
in the pH range for the crop to be grown.
Buffer pH- This is an index value used for determining
the amount oflime to apply on acid soils to bring the pH
to the desired pH for the crop to be grown. The lower the
buffer pH reading the higher the lime requirement.
Phosphorus- The phosphorus test measures that phos-
phorus that should be available to the plant. The opti-
mum level will vary with crop, yield and soil conditions,
but for most field crops a medium to optimum rating is
adequate.
Potassium - This test measures available potassium.
The optimum level will vary with crop, yield, soil type,
soil physical condition, and other soil related factors.
Generally higher levels of potassium are needed on softs
high in clay and organic matter versus softs, which are
sandy and low in organic matter.
