Home, business, auto and personal loans may fall, with a potential mild recession later in 1986. He sees modest inflation and gradual growth, plus demand for machine tools and manufactured goods.

Cemetery records altered in plot double sale scandal
Eaton Township officials charged Trustee Donald Wracker and former road superintendent Harry Day after records and a cemetery map at Butternut Ridge Cemetery appeared altered to hide a double sale.
