This will let Marysville associates "get back to their roots" and concentrate on motorcycles, she said. "It's really a tribute to our associates here at Marysville who started producing ATVs in 1989," VanWinkle said.

Bill Kalp, one of the Marysville plant's original associates in 1979, will server as project manager for the Timmonsville plant. No associates will be transferred or laid off, VanWinkle said, suggesting instead that with the increased production more associates may be hired at Marysville.

A friend found MacFadden submerged in the family's backyard fountain.
