Above The Board

Lowell Board Offers Contracts

A Week To Remember!

The aftermath of last week's ice storm was felt at Monday night's Board of Education meeting when many reports Ksted for discussion had to be postponed because committees were unable to meet as schedul-ed.

Board members voted unani-mously to offer contracts for the 1976-77 school year to three Kent Intermediate personnel who have been working with Lowell students in special areas.

Contracts will be offered to Barb Brown, full time speech therapist, Lorraine Freelund, half-time speech therapist, and Bill Kcoyer, school psycholo-gist.

A contract would have been offered to Eleanor Haan as school social worker but Mrs. Haan will be working in the Philippines next Fall so that position will be open.

Crnateg lights

Regarding the problem of Rundman student safety at the street crossing of Monroe and High, board members were

of a yellow flashing caution light and limiting the automotive speed to IS miles per hour.

School officials still prefer the installation of a flashing red stop light that can be controlled from the school or a post near the intersection during the per-iods when students are passing from building to building. This plan also includes "walk" and "don't walk" signs.

A device of this nature can be completely turned off when *

school is not in session but tt costs $514.04 more than the plan favored by the city.

The board voted to c#rae up with the additional money to cover the added expense if the city will go along with the installation.

The Board also approved Special Ed Supervisor Roger Buck's request to send LoweH students to Special Education Summer Camp for one week again this summer.

The camp has proved to be particularly beneficial to the students in the past. .

Credit

Community Education head Rod Smith informed board members that 199 students are enrolled in classes for credit this semester, with 180 of these} working toward high school j completion, 13 in post graduate study and six students under 18-years-old.-

In addition. 106 are enrofied in non-credit studies and 223 are taking athMtegB flt the l e t s J^ time program for a total of 528 people taking part in the com-munity school courses.

P G E B B W a B t tUJf f i t P t B B B e — t B B B B B B K I f l B B Freezing rain and wet snow

combined together last week to give area residents one of the worst winter storms of this type in many years. Many hotnea were without heat, many had no lights, some could do no cook-ing. plus, water was at t premium in most homes.

For many citizens, the prob-lem was actually a conglomerate involving electricty, t raff ic lights, furnaces, gas. roads, sidewalks, telephones and most everything else we 'moderns' take for granted.

One south Lowell farmer, Keith Graham, said H was the worst Ice storm he'd seen in his life-time. And most would agree with a resident who observed, "This sure is a mess."

Danger AbMada

Though poike and firemen reported no major catastro-phies. risks and dangers a-bounded. Power lines dropped across streets and sidewalks, portions of Lowell were without electricity of any kind, and the general area was a little dis-asterous.

Meterologists blame the storm on two pressure systems-high pressure in the North and • low pressure in the south, with the ice-laden area lying some-where in between.

A slight temperature change, either warmer or colder, would have ended the conditions that caused falling and freezing precipitation to cover the area.

Thermometers registered somewhere around the freedng point when Mother Nature be-gan to take over mid-afternoon Monday, and continued to re-main in that area for two days following.

Can D i i a d

Under the weight of all the ice that covered everything, tree branches snapped, power lines fell, and most motorists found themselves s tranded. Some found their cars buried under branches and Hmbs. • -r, h..

The immediate Lowell area, served by the Lowell Light and Power Company, lost their elec-trical power around 4:50 a.m. Wednesday morning.

Light Plant Superintendent John Jones said Tuesday all but one Lowell home was back on the power lines by five o 'dofk on Saturday.

Lowell residents who seemed under the burden of going without for the first time in years, should stand up and cheer the Lowell Power men who worked unaccountable hours to gel the juke back in the lines.

Three Lteaaaa

It is hard to believe that • city the size of Lowell was serviced by only three linemen. Jack Ryan. Herb Haines and Jones. who with no outside help, got the job done.

As of Tuesday morning, still over 3.000 customers in the Kent County area serviced by Consumers Powef Company Were still without electrical power. A lot of area farmers were using generators to get their jobs done.

AM Carter

For the second time in as many years. Kent county Red Cross workers, local volunteers and Low ell school personnel and police banded together to aid area residents under disaster conditions.

Referring to the Lowell Mid-dle School as "one of the best emergency centers ever," Mrs. Margaret Tatreau of Grand Rapids, director of volunteers, said that "Lowell Schools are unbelievably cooperative and made the whole operation go together smoothly."

Citing such individuals as Don Kelly. John Gabrion. Art Bieri, Ken Smith. Marilyn Bo-vee. A! Eckman. Ted Comdure, Benny Benson and many others, M n . Tatreau listed youth super vision in the gym to case the tedious hours, the setting up of television sets and a ping pong table is the main shelter area, immediate assistance for any probki*. and the manning of telephones by vohmteer secre-taries as only part of the wort done by school personnel.

Slept On Cata

A three-night total of approx-imately 150 people skpt on cots set up in hallways and on the stage (with one family of four coming from as far away as Cedar Springs) whik more than 250 hot meals were served on Thursday and Friday (this count does not include the number of Red Cross soup, sandwkhes, coffee and hot chocolate served on all three days).

Sixty-five Red Cross volun-teers, 10 of whom were regis-tered nurses, worked 13 eight-hour shifts from 10:30 Tuesday night to 9:00 o'clock Sunday morning. Local residents did not take advantage of the shelter until Wednesday morning since the loss of power also resulted in the lack of radio and TV communication and H wasn't until the Lowell Poike informed such areas as Eastgate, the Oty

•of Lowell and other outlying sections that those stricken be-gan to filter in.

SlinUte Swvlea

The regular Police force and poike volunteers set up a shut-t k service to bring individuals to the shelter who were unabk to reach it due to lack of transportation.

Police Chief Barry Emmons today stressed the importance of everyone knowing that in a future emergency the schools will be used as Red Croas Shelters at no coat to victims of the emergency aad people should take immediate advan-tage of H.

Chief Emmons also express ed his " thanks" to all of the indhridaals and agen^es who provided their utmost coopera-tion in coping wiih the probkms that arose following the storm.

The willingness of peopk to help others in stricken areas was very apparent here throughout last week and left a good feeling all around. A Mr and Mrs. Bishop who live 35 miles south of Grand Rapids, and ^ mem-bers of the Christian {^formed World Relief Corps, ftsponded immediately and came to the Middle School to offer their services to strangers.

Among others who showed up to assist from outside the area, but who were not regulai* Red Croas volunteers, were Sue Durakov, a member of the Grand Rapids Board of Educa-tion, James R. Dkk, an officer of OW Kent Bank in Grand Rapids, and Mrs. John Hosey, a member of the Board of Direc-tors of the Red Cross in Grand Rapids.

Mrs. Jean McKay and Mrs. Judy Jansema. both Lowell registered nurses who are also Red Cross volunteers on dis-aster call, headed the list of local volunteers that included Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kwant, Martha Kwant. Sandra dark . Sue Verdon, Ann Monroe, Reg-istered Nurse Ellen Moore. Shirley Townsend, Sue Fergu-son, Shirky DenBoer and many others whose names, unfortun-ately got lost in the shuffle.

v « y

Mrs. George R. Cook, Red Cross Chapter Chairman, also went on record uormg ^he was, "very pleaded with the school personnel and school officials who were most gracious and cooperative with the Red Croas staff."

Special mention was made of Marilyn Bovee, school hot lunch supervisor, who, when h be-came apparent that the power failure was going to last throughout the week, felt that the temporarily displaced peopk needed more than the minimum fare ordinarily pro-vided and called in Mabel Barton, Marion Rutherford, Dorothy Hunt. Dana Yeiter, Pat Thornet, Marie Steward and Gertrude Steffens (cooks from all five schools) to serve a hot meal once each day at no charge to the peopk or the Red Cross.

Although no one wants any-thing like this to happen again, it is somewhat comforting to know that Lowell and the Red Cross get together quickly and effickntiy to ease all the prob-kms that anse and. as Jean McKay put it in a brief state-ment before Monday night's Board of Education meeting.

" the Middk School whh its cheerful coloring, csrpeted floors, well equipped gym, color TV and soft musk throughout the halls is a handy place to have."

Parka D—agad

A Kent County Park Commis-sion crew is still working to ckar the many fallen and uprooted trees in Townsend Park, Can-non Township, which suffered the most damage in any of the county parks in last week's k e storm, says Don Arnott, park superintendent.

"No estimate of the damage has been made yet." he states, adding that "all county parks suffered some damage."

Most of the damage from the storm occurred in the parks in the northeast part of the county, including Fallasburg and Waba-sis Parks, Arnott observes.

"We were lucky that trees did not fall on the shelterhouses in Townsend and Fsl lasburg Parks," he comments. Wabasis Park has no shefterhouse.

Two trees fell on the Town-send Park comfort station on the high side of the park and numerous other trees were fell-ed by the heavy ke, blocking paths and roads. Also, many trees on the side of the "d i fT ' in the park were uprooted and .are being removed.

Crews are still busy cleaning up the psrks, but Townsend Psrk is getting the most atten-tion, Arnott points out.

Mnka Fhawaad

The large trees and branches are being sawed into firewood, but the brush and small branch-es are either being hauled away or burned.

Damaged trees include oaks, mspies, poplars and evef-givens. h has not yet been decided if the retaoved trees will be veplnced with saplings. Ar-nott states.

Oty Says

l o - d ! CH, M i m i c t Tony Skiliano would like to publkly thank all the citizens in the City for their cooperation, patknee •nd help In last week's (kvastat-«ng k e storm, especially. Dr. Clsrk Vredenburg and his crew. Dave Clark, Jr. and his men. the Kent Community Center Em-ployees. and Jack Friesner, who were all out early with chain •aws to remove downed trees and branches all over the City.

Special thanks to the Lowell Area Schools for opening the Middle School for warmth and hot meals by the Red Crow, for JJw* peopk displaced from homes, to the crews from Lowell Light and Power. Michigan Bell Telephone, and City Street De-partment. who worked round the clock to ckar out debris, and restore services.

Thanks also to those citizens who helped out neighbors that the City is not aware of.

The Manager urges citizens who have trees and brush on weir property to place it at the curb larger pieces in 4 foot Kngths for easy handling, and City crews will pick h up.

•fcacs OvarfWw

Kent County residenU had no •oooer recovered from the k e «tonn last Tuesday night, when new weather-associated prob-kms blew in . . . near flood «tage levels were reported wherever streams flowed.

For the first time in 16 years, the Grand River was expected Saturday to overflow the banks m downtown Grand Rapids and In Lowell, where the Rat River dumps into the Grand, the waters were well over the rivers' banks and expected to reach 17 feet Sunday, which it did. two feet over the flood stage.

As of Monday, the water mwk in Lowell readied 22.01 feet, but was slowly subsiding.

Lowell police said residenta of •eyeral houses near the town's old iron bridge oa South Jackson Street (sometimes called DM-non) had flooded basements, •nd aome residents sought quarters elsewhere when the waters reached porch leveb.

'Fire Field'

A 57-acre plot of land, located at the corner of Buttrick Avenue and Grand River Drive, was purchased by Ada Township in 1973 from Robert Somerville as a site for a township park.

Approximately six acres of the property has been set aside for an Arboretum, a project which will be financed solely by contributions from individuals, organizations and local busi-nesses.

The Arboretum, a proposed bicentennial project that receiv-ed a 'high priority' vote from Ada citizens who responded to t questionnaire sent out by the Bicentennial Committee, will be a museum of living trees and shrubs.

Elmer E. (Bud) Locke, jr.. chairman of the Ada Bicenten-nial Committee, says 200 trees, one for each year of natural life, will be planted at the she. Each tree wlU be Identified by i ts ' common and botanical names so that visitors can familiarize themselves with the collection of 44 different kinds of conifer and deciduous trees on display.

An additional 38 Hopa crab trees, one designated for each of the presidents from Washington to Ford, will be planted to outline the parking area. "Tree planting will begin In April," Locke added.

According to Locke, the Ar-boretum will develop a park-like aspect with an asphalt path winding among the trees. A picnic area and other facilities will be provided with emphasis on d:slgns producing maximum use by the handicapped and young people.

In addition to the woody plantings, spring bulbs and other flowers will be grown through the administration of a separate fund which has been established, Locke explained.

"It seems to me that farmers and their friends have got to educate the legislators and the state regulatory agendes that farming to not like General Motors," says Dr. Daniel H. Kroger.

"Management problems at OM are entirely different from thooe of farmers and fanners have to contend with uncon-trollable factors of weather and natural disasters. They had more than their share last year," he said.

"We have got to get over the concept that H to possible to operate a farm like a pubHc utility and expect to feed the people of Michigan, the people of our country and people throughout the world," he adds.

In 1964, thare were 93,000 farms In Michigan but by 1970, less than 78,000. Cultivated acreage dropped from 14 million acres In 1964 to about 12 million In f970. Hired farm labor de-clined from about 93,000 in 1964 to about 22,000 In 1974, a trend which will coptinue, according to Kroger.

"Total cash receipts for farm-ing have increased-ln 1974 It was $1.7 billlon-but net farm income continues to decline, h to not profitable being a far-mer," Kruger said.

A major force helping Influ-ence agriculture to technology, some of which has evolved, in part, because of labor prob-lems. "There has been, and'will be, a continuous substitution of mechanical muscle for - the muscle of human beings," Kruger says.

He partly attributes Increased use of harvesting machinery, such as the cherry picker and cucumber havener, to labor regulations and Increasing labor costs, " h to true these pieces of equipment are expensive, but the mechanical picker does not take the farmer to court.

In the upper left hand cor-ner bearing the crosscs of St. George and St. Andrew, signifying union with the mother country, according to the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. This banner was flrat flown by the shipc of the Co-lonial Fleet in the Delaware River in December, 1775.

The Grand Union flag was carried by Marines and Amer-ican Bluejackets comprising an expeditionary force in t h ^

"If we could figure out a way to work together instead of hating all the confrontations we've had, perhaps Michigan farmers would not continue thto pursuit of mechanical substity tion," Kruger says. • v

/

There are high costs of fertil-izer, energy, double digit Infla-tion and high wage cost.. "One explanation for high wage costs to the Influence of the automo-bile Industry In which the high-est wages in the country are paid. Their spillover effect Influ-ences agriculture wages. The farmer has to cope with higher wages which are more difficult to afford In the face of his market returns and other costs," Kruger says. 4

FIND IT IN THE

"A third factor has been the legislation which has placed restrictions on farmers which have added to the costs of farm operations. These Include work-men's compensation, minimum wages. Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)"laws which affect the ability of Michigan farmers to compete with other markets." Kruger says.

"When we talk about these laws, we must uiidentand that Michigan Is tk»* an island. Our products compete In a national market and In many of those states with which wc compete, farm wage levels a^d benefits for labor are lower than In Michigan," Kruger says.

A fourth factor influendng farm production Is spedal Inter-est groups. "1 want farm workers to have all the rights that other Americans have. 1 want workers to be protected like workers In nonagrlcultural employment. But farmers and growers are being sued, more frequently. A way must be found to resolve differences without resorting to courts," he says.

The numbers of unemployed In Michigan will remain higher for the rest of this decade and Into the 1980's. "Irt concert with agriculture. Industry, business, the unions and spedal interest groups, we have to expand job opportunities for those unem-ployed and those entering the job market. But don't eipect agriculture to do h alone and survive," Kruger says.

"We have "to educate the legislature and ourselves to the tremendous problem of job crea-tion In this state. We have to sort out where the employment possibilities He In Industry, agri-culture, tourism and In the services. Each sector must be analyzed separately and appro-priate steps taken to create a climate conouclve to job growth," Kruger concludes.

Plan Annual

'Style Show' On Tuesday, March 16. in the

All-purpose Room of the Alto Elementary School, at 7:30 p.m., the Alto Area Mother's Club will hold its annual "Style Show."

Moms prepare vour sewing machines. Sew something for yourself or a member of your family and then model it in the show.

If you don't sew, perhaps you have some other talent in handi-craft work such as knitting, crocheting, country painting, macrame. or perhaps grandma or an aunt would like to bring some work to be displayed.

Last year, the style show presented some lovely hand-made quilts that some of the grandmothers had made, and they were quite an eye-catcher for the viewers.

Additional information on the "style show" can be secured by calling Carol Horton at 897-5122.

j teenth-century predecessors, A these stalwart patriots induted u TrirtMully. though, it wasn't

I suffering' M)d 'hardship, ̂ ith a 4*11 hWffl of tbsfe^fbr ̂ big-dty f spirit of troe courage and honest . ,giri Tiki?" rriyse* (TWtsbcrn in

. Spurred n Grandville) the idea ofa " Black-of others oat" was something that hap-

pened every so often some-where fclse in the country, like New York City. After all. I reasoned, didn't every power plant worth its salt have two or three thousand employees standing around in those funny orange raincoats just waiting for somebody's street light to burn out so they could rush over and fix it before the filament even cooled.

• ! ' My faith in the indestrnctibil-ity of electricity was strength-ened as daily my Science in-structors tried to impress upon jnethe fact that "Energy can be neither created nor destroyed ^Einstein notwithstanding).

The only "power failure" I could really conceive of would Jje the one resulting from my foiling to pay the electric bill. 'In fact, I might have serio-jsly considered that possibility if I hadn't been so conscientous that month and sent our check in two weeks early. If Consumers was run the way my old grade school was, 1 might have sus-pected one of my neighbors of "fudging" and briaging 'the resultant penalty on all of us—"This is Consumers Power Company. We're sorry, but until that one naughty person pays their electric bill (you know Vho you are!), we'll just have to all sit here in the dark.")

But alas, the power failure that began on Tuesday night was real, unavoidable and for a time, irrepairable. So it was in this fashion that I joined the "'Bicentennial Celebration" with a few thousand other "participants."

My first act upon finding myself in total, silent blackness was to bang my nose against the bathroom door, after which I proceeded to trip over the cat who was sitting in the hallway singing "That's the Night that the Lights Went Out in Georg-ia" (my cat always has had a sadistic sense of humor).

After groping around for sev-eral minutes 1 managed to find a few candles and light them. It's " funny how cozy and romantic h can be, cuddling with your spouse in a chilly living room with only a small candle for light, listening to the rain on the roof. (Our ancestors weren't so dumb after all!)

The rudest awakening came

\

Wednesday morning when the soles of my feet touched the Icy hardwood floor, then sprang back Into bed with the rest of me following. As soot as I could coax them oat again, promising them a warm soak after break-fast (I didn't yet realize the impossibility of that feat, ha,

r ,

I hopped & o the kitchen and turned on the gas oven. With the oren door opened wide, H wasn't more than an hour and a half before the house began to regain a little of hs original HveabHity.

But heat, much to my sur-prise wasn't the main problem: h was water. I had poured oat two phchersfdl the night before, an act which I thought was the ultimate in preparedness, but the first session of tea-drinking, hand-washing, and other neces-sities managed to pat an end to that sapply. What, I began to wonder, were all the neighbors doing? After a quick phone check ("quick" becaase almost nobody was home) J discovered that the few who hadn't already "headed for the hills" were surviving the drought by empty-ing out their hot-water heaters (hopefully remembering to torn them off afterwards), melting snow, even foraging from the kids' swimming pool. Many, I found, were keeping warm at the LoweD Middle School or one of the other downtown buildings opened for that purpoae. Chil-dren enjoyed the novel experi-ence of bathing in the church sinks, and a friend of mine said she had a fanny feeling Sunday morning attending Bible dass ta what she had come to regard as

ncr oca room.

Wednesday night, we joined the trek to Grand Rapids where we found many doting friends and relatives ready to offer the use of their water, heat, flush toilets and (what luxury!) even their bathtubs. For a time we chjoyed all that sympathy aad attention, aKhough we were slightly disappointed that Low-ell received little mention in the 11:00 News Report, not even deserving to be called a "disast-er area." "Well what, then." I demanded, "do they consider a "disaster?" My rubber plant is developing frostbite; isn't that disaster enough? I'll bet Martha Washington never had to worry about frcstbite on her rubber plant." Naturally, no one had an answtr ta that a '

-rrOifcZif UHiu lv ;80Q '

By fhursday night, the novel-ty had worn off and we were

exceedingly weary of the whole situation. I was almost to the point where I was willing to put on one of those funny orange raincoats myself and go offer my services to Consumers—or at least take up a collection. But fortunately for Lowell, they managed nicely without my help and were able to have almost everything back to normal by Friday morning.

Bat* to normal? Well, we did Mrffer cue casualty in our house-hold—my husband's prized Bot-la Macracanthus succumbed to the frigid depths of our 20-gal-lon tank early Wednesday morn-ing apd was promptly "buried at se t " accompanied by a single, extravagant flush. But even now, as I look back on our experiences of this past week, my mind is filled with new

for the blessings I took for

K, some of self-rebuke for that nothing could

break the secure shell of my touttae, and many of awe that all of us had, in fact, come through the ordeal—little the

and much the better.

Move over, Martha, it's my turn now!

Camp Fire Girls, a youth service organization throughout the United States, will be cele-brating its 66th birthday the week of March 14-20.

Befrve 1910 there were no nationwide organizations for giris of all nationalities, races, and creeds: in that year the first Camp Fire Giris began to meet in a town in Vermont and a-summer camp for giris was started in Maine by Dr. and Mrs. Luther Halsey Gulick.

The outdoor ezperiences en-joyed there were a revelation to most of the campers, for this type of activity had not been usual far giris. The GuHcks adopted the name "WoHeLo" far their camp representing Work. Health, and Love, as suggestive of the spirit of the group.

These precepts, as well as the use of Indian lore and symbol-ism, still remain as a basic part of the Camp Fire Girls program. National incorporation came in 1912, and since then, thousands of girts have shared the fan. adventure, and action.

from OPEN LETTER

DAVID G»ST

Dear Friends,

Some people, wishing to have a certain type

of service conducted by the funeral director of

their choosing, arrange their own funerals In

advance of need. This can save the survivors

considerable time and worry when onth

occurs. It is most sensible for eWerty persons

having no dose relatives or those desiring an

unusual type of funeral service

ROTH-GERST FUNEtAl HOME lOWtll MICMWaH

The national Position State-ment makes dear the present-day aims of the organization: "We in Camp Fire believe in the importance of people and the value of life and happiness . . . We . . . commit ourselves to bring about effective social change in the following four ways:

To eliminate prejudice on the basis of race, religious belief or national origin. To improve our environment. To Improve meth-ods used to cope with social ills. To give individuals the oppor-tunity to make decisions which affect their own lives.

The Keewano Council of Camp Fire Giris was formed in 1919 in Grand Rapids. The Lowell groups belong to this Council; Vera Keim of Lowell has served on the Board of Directors for several years and was recently elected to the position of treasurer. The Kee-wano Council is a United Way Agency.

Pictures in the scrapbooks of several women residents show that a Camp Fire group was active in Lowell in the 1930,s.

Interest was rekindled here in the fall of 1944 under the guidance of Mrs. David Coons (then Betty Lyman, a teacher at LHS), and has been continuous since that date.

Mrs. Coons received recogni-tion far her 31 years of leader-ship in Camp Fire at the Council's annual meeting on February 9. Presently in Lowell there are sii groups oo the Blue Bird Level, five groups of Ad-venture girts, and more than 20 adult volunteers involved in the total Camp Fire program.

Michigan Week

The Grand Valley Ledger - Thursday, March II, 1976 • Page 7

Why bother to recycle?

We have become a throw-away society, one that often doesn't care where it does its throwing. More money is spent to dean up litter than is spent to dispose of trash in landfills. The great amount of litter disgracing our countryside isn't the only problem with refuse. Landfills are fining up and out-county areas are running out of room for more landfills.

Recycling can greatly de-crease the amount of landfill space required to dispose at our wastes. These wastes amount to an average of five pounds per person per day. Few people realize the amount of trash they throw out that can be recycled. Glass, paper and steel and aluminum cans can be ed to farm new products.

Dates of the 23rd annual Michigan week will be May 15-22, Lowell Mayor Robert Christiansen announced today, *s he issued a proclamation reminding local citizens of the traditional state observance.

His proclamation reads;

"Michigsn Week begsn in s small way more than two de-cades ago. and has grown into s unique tradition which is ob-served in communities of both Michigan peninsulas. Michigan Week is the program, through which we, the people of Mich-igan, learn more about our state and promote its welfare in every possible wsy.

Michigan - Pioneer in Pro-gress. is the theme for the 23rd annual observance of Michigan Week saluting this bicentennial year. Once again, this wiU be an opportunity far us to show our pride in the Oty of Lowell and in Michigan itself.

Two brothers-in-law have tak-en over the ownership of the 18-hole Arrowhead Golf Course, north of Lowell, at 2170 Aldcn Nash Avenue. N.E.

The new proprietors. Dave Datema of Marne and Mike Bouterse of Grand Rapids, took over their new business codcav-or, officially, last Friday.

Both, currently involved in the management of the Holiday Bowling Lanes in Grand Rapids, owned by Bou terse's father, are looking forward to a summer of 'fun' golf.

Their first task of preparation for the 1976 season has been the revamping of the club house facilities which will be opened to the public next week on Thurs-day. March 18.

Open hours until the regular golf season starts will be Thurs-days through Sundays, 3 until 8 p.m. v

Arrowhead Golf Course, built in 1961, is a tricky 18-hole layout that stretches over 6,000 yards, much of it up and down hills that

make a level lie impossible... a challenge for all golf en .

Many coarse improvements are being scheduled by the new owners, with their main focus being directed towards better maintenance... greener greens and fairer fairways.

There's much to be done before the weather offers its total cooperation in providing the ideal climate for the sport of golf.

"We're very interested in gettiug summer leagun (men's and women's) signed up early," Datema said. "Those interested can stop in and see us at the clubhouse after next Thursday, or give us a call at 897-7264."

"If enough demand is shown," Datema added, "we'll have a babysitting service avail-able on the premises during the week days for those moms and dads who want to play a round or two."

"We hope the golfing public will like the changes we've got p lanned," Bouterse added.

The green fees during the week will be 82.50 for nine and S3.50 for eighteen. On week-end# and holidays. S3.00 for cine and S4.00 for eighteen.

Datema and Bouterse con-cluded "come oo out, get ac-quainted. and sign op for a season of fan' golf. We're looking forward to meeting the people in this area."

JOIN THE CROWD - MAKE THIS PLANT1N6 PROGRAM A FAMILY EVENT

Plan Irish

Stew Supper

Hoping to balance the budget a bit more on the positive tide, the parents of Saranac Wrest-Hng and Baskc'tball teams have embarked on an ambitious mon-ey-making program.

Seeing the crisis Saranac Community Schools are facing, ajong with nearly all public and private Institutions, the parents of these athletes sponsored a Box Social and Square Dance a few weeks ago, and although attended by less than 30 couples it was enjoyed by those attend-ing enough that a repeat dance, featuring square and round dancing was planned.

Donation from area mer-chants of meat, vegetables, produce, decorations and from Individuals of cakes and homemade bread are on the

menu for the Irish Stew Supper to be held Saturday. March 20 at the High School.

AD work and preparation will be done by this group, hoping for a financial return large enough for new uniforms aod possibly some equipment to be used by all sports participants.

If supported by the commu-nity and persons interested in the athletic program we can expect to see more of this type of activity.
