Street Rejuvenation Ai the regular meeting of the Lowell City Planning

Commission Monday night, an outline of plans for the improvement of Lowell's central business district was presented by Charles Lippert of Lippert 's Pharmacy.

Seventeen business persons were present to hear the objectives of CBD plans, progress to date, and the needs for a follow-through.

Block captains have been selected and petitions cir-culated to obtain the level of interest among CBD mer-chants.

Petitions were presented to the Planning Commis-sion containing the signatures of 37 business people showing a favorable interest in the improvement of the City central business district.

Though there is some opposition to the present con-cept . there seems to be an over-all interest in some form of improvement to Lowell's downtown area.

The greatest need. Lippert summarizes, is a positive att i tude and aggressive action and must involve every-

one touched by it. Lippert believes Lowell has a great fu ture but the

time to act is now. The next meeting of the Planning Commission will

be April 16 at 8 p .m. at the City Hall. At this time the block captains will present the results of their survey of needs, desires and views of affected v'Mchanls.

Dropping temperatures, one day last week, caused this heavy build up of ice format ion on Lyle Covert's Paddle Wheel on Flat River in f ront of the Covert home.

In the summer the wheel becomes the source of power to slowly turn the spit for Lyle's fa-mous succulent roast pig.

Road Traffic Dips February traffic on state highways dropped 15.2

percent f rom the same month a year ago, the Depart-ment of State Highways and Transportation reports.

Average weekday traffic on state highways in Feb-ruary was down by 11.4 percent from last year. Friday traffic was down 11.9 percent; Saturday traffic down 11.8 percent and Sunday's down by 30.5 percent.

The traffic volumes were computed on the basis of actual counts f rom 10 Department countermachincs, strategically placed around the state.

T h e traffic decline is at t r ibuted to the gasoline shortage and the Sunday closing of many sen/ice sta-tions.

Area Civil Defense Director Offers Important 'Tornado Tips'

The 1974 tornado season has officially arrived, ac-cording to Barry Emmons, Civil Defense Director for the Lowell area. Fmmons urged that tornado safety tips be learned and heeded in order to prevent deaths and injuries in the months ahead.

"Preparedness is the key to holding down disaster fatalities," reports Emmons. He cited the increased drop in tornado-related deaths over the last three de-cades as proof that communi ty and individual aware-ness of safety precaution can save a lot of lives.

"During 1973's record tornado season, with 1.107 funnel-twisters sighted and reported, the results were 84 fatalities, while the long-term average death rate is around 9 4 , " Emmons said.

People in Lowell are notif ied of a tornado alert by one long blast of the fire siren . . . the all clear is the sound of the regular, Emmons revealed.

Siren silence (police cars, fire engines, ambulances, etc.) is observed as long as the tornado warnings last. Local police officers are dispatched to different locali-ties around the City, where they will watch for funnel formations.

Besides tornados, the Lowell Civil Defense crew

Blood Bank Drive April 5

On April 5, blood donations can be made at the Lowell Senior High School between the hours of 3 :30 and 7 :30 p.m.

The Blood Bank is being set up to provide blood re-placement credits for people who live, work, worship, or belong to a civic organization in the City of Lowell and surrounding townships, and their families. All of the people will be covered, not just the ones that do-nate.

Persons wishing to donate may call Steve Vander-Weg, 897-9460 or Dean Collins 897-9355 for an ap-pointment .

Veterans Advised Certified Papers Are Sufficient

The Veterans Administration advises veterans not to allow loss of" a birth certificate or marriage license to deter them from applying for benefits.

Officials cited a regulation in effect siiice October, 1971, under which less formal proof of marriage and birth are acceptable in establishing claims for higher benefits.

A veteran's or widow's certified statement of mar-riage is sufficient on applications for compensat ion and education benefits for veterans, widows and or-phaned children, provided neither he nor his wife has been married before, and VA has no contradictory information on file, officials explained.

It was noted that a certified statement now is ac-ceptable regarding birth of a child of a veteran's mar-riage, and as proof of age and relationship in disability cases. Before the regulation change, officials pointed out , VA required all s ta tements of marriages and births to be supported by formalized documentary evidence.

Certified statements also are sufficient in death cases where a claimant's statements corroborate those of a veteran in connection with a claim for any VA venefit. officials added.

Ada Sets Hearing On

Sewer Assessment Roll

Ada Township has commenced a new set of pro-cedures which will lead to the installation of a sanitary sewer system in the Forest Hills Gardens plat in the Paradise Lake area at an estimated cost of $300,000.

The township board approved a resolution to es-tablish the area as a special assessment district at their recent board meeting. After bids have determined costs, a special assessment roll will be prepared and presented at a public hearing April I in the township office at 555 Ada Drive.

If the special assessment roll is adopted , application will be made to the Michigan Municipal Finance Com-mittee for bonding.

In January, the board decided to under take the pro-ject under an impressed roll, permissible under Act 185. Two informational meetings were held and the board received advisory petitions signed by more than 51 percent of owners of property favoring the project .

But in face of developing opposition to the improve-ment as an impressed roll project, the board decided to hold hearings and set up a special assessment dis-trict. It is proposed to construct the sewer as a County Department of Public Works project.

FREL PAP SMEAR

The American Cancer Society, Kent County Unit , is offering free Pap Smears to the women of Lowell and the surrounding area at the East Kent Communi ty Center , 10763 Grand River Drive, April 19, and May 3. A Registered Nurse will take the test.

Advanced cervical cancer is most commonly found in women over 45 years of age. We particularly urge women in that age group take advantage of this of fer . Cancer of the cervix can be cured if detected early.

also covers all other disasters, such as f loods, chemical warfare, etc. Emmons holds the responsibility for call-ing emergency assistance it" needed alter a tornado, etc.

Emmons recommends that the public pay close at-tention to and be guided by the tornado warnigns of the National Weather Service.

Tips Offered

The term ' tornado watch' , as used by the Weather Service, means tornadoes are expected to develop. while ' to rnado warning' means a tornado has actually been sighted. When a ' tornado warning" has been issued, persons close to the storm should take cover immediate-ly. Those farther away should take cover if threaten-ing condit ions develop.

The first rule to remember when a tornado approach-es. is to seek inside shelter immediately preferably in a storm cellar, underground excavation, or steel-framed or reinforced concrete building.

If you are in an office building, you should go to an interior hallway on the lowest floor, or to a designated shelter area. Factory workers should move quickly to the section of the plant offering the greatest protection, in accordance with advance plans.

The basement offers the greatest safety in the home. Seek shelter under heavy lurniture it possible. In homes without basements, take cover in the center part of the house on the lowest floor, in a small room such as a closet or bathroom, or under sturdy furniture. Keep some windows open, but stay away f rom them.

Mobile homes arc particularly vulnerable to destruc-tive winds. Proper tie-downs to prevent overturning will minimize danger. In periods of danger, a warden should be appointed in mobile home parks to scan the skies and listen to radio and television for warnings. A hand siren should be purchased to aid in alerting resi-dents. The most important rule to remember, is not to stay in a mobile home when a tornado is approaching. Threatened mobile home residents should seek refuge in a nearby sturdy building or. as a last resort, in a ditch, culvert or ravine. In any event, do not remain in a mobile home.

Students and school personnel should follow ad-vanced plans to go to an interior hallway on the low-est floor for safety. Always avoid auditoriums and gym-nasiums or other structures with wide, free-span roofs. If a building is not reinforced construct ion, go quickly to a nearby reinforced building, or to a ravine or open ditch and lie flat. '

If you are in open count ry , and there is no time to find suitable shelter, lie face down in the nearest de-pression. such as a ditch or ravine, and protect your head with your arms.

Emmons concluded by, pointing out that everyone needs to learn tornado safety rules. He said that any-one interested in obtaining the poster. "Tornado Safe-ty Rules." free of charge, may do so by contacting the Kent County Chapter. American Red Cross. 1050 Ful-ler, NE.

Rotarians Hear Alaskan Hunter

March 20 meeting of the Lowell Rotary Club was highlighted by good singing, good food and fellowship and a good program.

Ken Lehman, manager of the Big L Lumber Co. of Sheridan, presented the program. With the aid of three projectors. Mr. Lehman showed movies of his most recent Alaskan hunt ing trip. Judging by the hunt ing ex-ploits portrayed in the films Mr. Lehman qualifies as an expert big game hunter . On this trip he took a Cari-beau. Brown Bear and record Moose.

In his narration. Lehman noted that there are cer-tain dangers involved in Alaskan hunting such as the mean tempered and unpredictable bear, and the ever changing weather. Because of inclement weather there were some 31 bush pilots lost in August of 1973.

A far north hunting trip is not the most inexpensive kind of vacation, as Ken estimated that his t rophy an-imals cost about S200 per pound.

However. Mr. Lehman stated that there were o ther things about the trip that he enjoyed more than the actual hunting. "Being able to meet the people of Alaska and a chance to be by myself, said Mr. Leh-

man, "helped me come back home a little bet ter man for having gone."

During the meeting Club President, Arnold Witten-bach. welcomed the newest member of the Lowell Ro-tary Club, his brother , Harold Wittenbach.

Among the Rotary guests was visiting Rotarian, James Gober of the Haslett-Okemos Rotary Club, and Gordon Gould who spoke on behalf of the Low-ell Showboat Amphitheater Fund.

The Rotary Travelogue will be held March 28 , and Rotary Ann Night for members ' wives is April 17.

Bruce Walter was program chairman for the week and Norm Borgerson's name was drawn for the door prize.

Pretty neat . . . know what I mean? That Mr. Flue, of St. Joseph, Michigan, can get that kind of mileage from his 7 3 Chrysler Newport with a standard V-8 engine. Here's how he says he does it. By concentrating on getting good mileage on the h ighway . . . and not going over

50 mph . . . he was able to get almost 19 miles to a gal'on. So by keeping his speed d o w n . . . he saves fuel and saves money. He saves his tires, too. Now that's real savings. Know what I mean?

Ping Pong Tournament Winners Track Season Tra in ing Starts

"We're looking forward to a good season," reveals Coach Chuck Bosirom, as he conditions his tracksters for the 1974 season.

Bosirom bases his prediction on the fact that only two point-sconng seniors will not be returning this year, to a team that compiled a winning season last year.

Early season workouts can find a sizeable number of Bostrom's squad pushing weights or running in preparation for Tri-River league competition, which

Vying for top conference positions this year will be high jumper. Tom Heintzleman. distance runner. Ben Porritt. and hurdler. Bruce Billock. A host of let-termen are returning from last year's Tri-River compe-tition.

Lowell thinclads will open the 1974 season when they will compete in the Michigan State University Re-lays April 15 in East Lansing.

The contest, for runners only, does not include the wide variety of events that the Tri-River Conference track meets include.

Events scheduled to be held during April include; April 11 Hastings Relays, there; April 13. Relay

Meet, here; April 18. Ionia, there: April 22, Cedar Spnngs, here; April 24. Sparta, there; April 27. Relays at Hastings.

Happy winners of the Annual YMCA Ping Pong Tournament, Youth Division, were, left to right: Jon Bieri, doubles winner; Bob Bieri, Doubles winner and first in singles; Craig Coul-son, third in singles; and Chris Coulson, second in singles.

The Lowell YMCA sponsors an annual tour-nament to encourage the playing of ping pong which is an inexpensive, interesting sport that is good exercise and lots of fun to play. Ping Pong or table tennis, is a growing sport in our schools and in family recreation rooms.

Lowell Middle School was a busy place Thursday and Friday, March 21 and 22, as the site of the annua! YMCA Ping Pong Tourna-ment. Taking place over two evenings, the semi-finals and finals were played on Friday evening.

Emerging as winners in the Adult Division were (left to right) Kevin McMahon, third; Art Bieri, first; and Randy Jones, second.

Each team has won one gai.ie each in the champion-ship playoffs. The team coming out on top this Friday will win the hockey title for the 1973-74 season, which has sparked much interest locally.

Last Wednesday night. Lowell hockey fans flocked to the ice arena to see Lowell's well balanced team gain a 1 to 0 win over Christian. Lowell's lone score by Ron Merriman, assisted by David Baird, came at 3:24 of the first period. A great credit for the win went to goalie John Pollice who had 18 saves at the net.

The sudden death overtime game last Friday night saw Christian come out on top with a 5-4 victory, as they were the first to score as the clock began ticking over again.

goal on an assist by Scott Wingeier at 17:17 in the first period. Garry Lotterman. unassisted, scored Low-ell's final goal at 9 :26 in the second period.

Adding a spark of spirit and enthusiasm to the play-ers and fans at Friday's game was the appearance of ' the Lowell Pep Band, who played the National An-them. and kept the mood movin'. The band generated such interest that the Forest Hills boosters, there for the Class A playoffs to follow, persuaded the Lowell musicians to remain for their game. also.

This Saturday, at 6 p.m. the High School All-Star game will be played, with the teams being comprised of the four best players from each school in the eight-team league.

Representing Lowell High School will be Mark Ries, Scott Wingeier. Tom Wingeier and Doug Blocher. Only the goalies arc selected by the coaches and referees. This balloting has resulted in the selection of John Pol-lice of Lowell as all-star goalie for one of the two teams playing.

This is quite an honor, and Pollice is to be compli-mented for his performance for the Lowell team dur-ing the season.

Senior Citizens To

Hold March Potluck,

Eye Overnight Trip

The Saranac Senior Citizens' March pot luck will be Wednesday, March 27, our regular meeting date. Bring a dish to pass, games and a movie w.!l follow A 2Si fee will cover the door prizes and game prizes for those who wish to participate.

With the passing of the threat of bad weather we are expecting a lot of you to welcome Spring and our returning members from Hawaii.

The gasoline situation has made tnps in the future a question mark. Yet. to go anywhere requires long range planning. As a result, we are going lo proceed with the planning expecting that we will get gas for our limited purposes.

As was mentioned at the last potluck. we are think-ing of combining a couple of trips into an overnight trip. It would take place late in June or early in July. The first day we would plan to attend a Tiger game and so on the second day we would cruise to Bob-Lo Island for a day of relaxed merry-making. For those not familiar with Bob-Lo. it is an amusement park, lo-cated in the Detroit River, including a Z o o and an Arts and Crafts Colony, as well as the usual amuse-ment park equipment.

The cost of the trip, not including meals, will be around $20 per person, depending on the cost of the room and the kind of tickets we decide to get for the ball game. If you think that you would be interested, you can start signing up at the next pot luck.
