Making maple sty rap Is a learning experience, for the stndenta al Lowell Middle School.

Some eighth grade students at Lowell Middle School are in the middle of a pretty sweet subject. Students are involved in tapping maple trees for the sap which is boiled down to lyrup.

Buckets have been borrowed from Frank Ryder of 11075 Bailey Drive, and the trees are tapped on the woodlots owned by Dave Yeiter, 4376 Alden Nash, and Bob Boers ma, 10259 36th Street. Tapping and col-lecting is supervised by George Stegmier, 8th grade science and math teacher, and Steve Har-rington. School Naturalist.

Once the sap is collected it is boiled down at the log cabin at the Walden Pond Nature Study Area. Students learn how the sap is gathered, and prepared to produce the sweet syrup. Stu-dents also learn of the economic

importance of maple syrup pro-duction and which states are the leading producers and why.

Science skills are involved with the project as students learn the function of the sap and bow the plant produces !.•>-Participants apply math skills by keeping track of various data and reporting their findings. Age, height, location, average sugar content of sap and other Information is gathered and • recorded.

As the sap is boiled down students learn that the sugar present in the sap is concentrat-ed as the solution nears the sweet syrup stage. Students are anxiously waiting for the com-pletion of the project when they will get a taste of the fruit of their efforts. It can truly be said that Mr. Stegmier has a pretty sweet class these days.

Study In Franco Academic life for Kenneth

Kropf. a Kalamazoo College student will soon shift from an oak-shaded hilltop campus to a study center in France.

As a participant in the Col-lege's Foreign Study Program. Kropf will spend his spring quarter living either with a host-country family or as a foreign student in a college dormitory.

Kropf, a graduate of Lowell High School, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Philip M. Kropf of 13486 Crestwood Drive. Lowell. A junior at Kalamazoo College, he will be studying in Stras-bourg. France.

On his foreign study trip. Kropf will become acquainted in some depth with a culture (usually including language), a people, and an educational sys-tem different from those in this country. His academic work while abroad will be generally equivalent to that done on the Kalamazoo campus, but will be enhanced by the environment in which it takes place.

Foreign study will give Kropf a new perspective not only on the country he will visit, but also on his own country and culture and on his role as a world citizen

Fundamentals: Big Part Of Being A Winner

Roger Powers of 5785 Ada Drive, Ada, has been weight lifting for about a year and has won several trophies. Powers took third in his first meet, the

Third Regional Open held in Michigan. Pleased with this effort, he began serious train-ing

He entered the Cincinnati open in late February. The competition was open to all interested participants. Powers retuned with the first place trophy and an even stronger desire to compete on the nation-al level.

In early March, Powers enter-ed the Junior State Champion-ship in Mt. Clemens. He won first place again and his commit-ment to the sport and his belief that he could compete on the national level strengthened.

Powers, at 165 lbs., does not look like the muscle bound weight lifter many would ex-pect. He is a well-built 26-year-old with an infectious sense of humor. When asked what stim-ulated his interest in the sport, he replied. " I wanted to suffer the agony of defeat, like the skiers on television." He has not had to suffer this agony, his record indicates, he likes to win.

Roger Powers is a dedicated man who would like to accom-plish some "good things" for weight lifting, regardless of his persona] endeavors.

Spring Arrives! Dressed In White

Accident Dtstroys House

Powers feels the lack of recognition in this sport is shameful. " W e never do much in the Olympics, mainly because we have no coaching or training to really field a team. We are a strong country and we should be in a position to make a good showing in the Olympics. The only reason the Russians win is training and the support of their countrymen."

Powers would like to dispell the muscle bound overweight image of the weight lifters. "I t is an art and requires know-ledge, being strong will not make you a winner if you fail with the fundamentals."

Encouraged by his wife. Sue, it is a family affair. Sue is attending a clinic and reading books on the subject to assist Roger with the fundamentals. Another fan who is too young to fully understand, is his daugh-ter, 2-year-old Kim, who lends occasional vocal support.

The next match will be held at Highlaiyi, Michigan. The win-ner will have the title of "The Best In Michigan." With his motto, "No pain, no gain," and his determination. Roger Pow-ers is a young man to watch.

A home owned by Ronald Rfehardo at 708 High St., Lowoll waa completely deatroyed recently whoa It fell Into the hole that waa to be Its new basement. The Ledger was unable to contact anyone who knew anything about the accident but the house had apparently been jacked np and a new hsssmsmt was being dug under It when the bouse went down.

More Milloge Q's And A's The Board, in providing the

following answers to questions posed by readers of the Grand Valley Ledger, is continuing its efforts to develop lines of open communications between the people of the district and the schools. Several questions, be-cause of their similarity, were combined; others, because of their length, were edited to save space.

Why, with the great tncreaae In aaaeoamenta, does the school district atUl aak for more Mon-ey?

Assessment increases and tho properly tax levied on them have caused many people to ask this question. First and very important, is that any increase resulting from assessment in-creases is deducted from State Aid received by the district, the result is no increase in operating monies for the school district.

Secondly, the school district is not in any way responsible for increases in assessments. In-creased assessments are de-termined by the State Legisla-ture and the State Tax Commis-sion. Many interested citizens, legislative commit tees , and school people have advocated reform in the area of assessing and the property tax. School people are very aware of the feelings felt by property owners, who take out their frustrations by voting no on school millages. They also realize these people should be working with their legislators to reform the system, instead of venting their wrath on the children. The net result of the system is our children have to pay the price for a question-able means of taxation. People voting no in the upcoming election are not in any way affecting the whole process of

assessment, but they are very definitely reducing the quality of education their children will receive.

They recommended the other mill be made up in cuts and reduction of operating funds. They realized by not providing the additional mill the board would be using up operating funds and would have to borrow money the following year.

The acbool dlstitct leaaea two c a n . Would It M t be wiser la l i t empSoyeea drive tbeir own c a n ami pay t h e n mileage?

Leasing vs. mileage has been studied very carefully and from a strictly financial position the-district saves several hundred dollars a year by leasing vs. paying millage (Last year the s av ings was in exces s of ($1,200).

How deea LoweO'a calflage compare with other dlatxicta hi our area?

Lowell's millage is one of the very lowest in the area. Lowell is presently asking for a total of 27 mills. Most other districts have been at 27 mills or more for several years. The Grand Rap-ids school system presently is priding itself for having operat-ed the past six years on 27 mills, the amount Lowell is presently requesting. Grand Rapids is currently asking for three mills in additional operating monies.

The heard f h n a f i i c r t a laat summer and Inched dewa. Won't they do the a a n e M the n U a g e falls?

Last summer several hundred voters asked the board to recon-. sider some of the cuts because they had not been told what they would be or never suspected they would affect their children. After a great deal of delibera-tion. the board agreed the voters had a legitimate point and about $40,000 of the propos-ed $110,000 in cuts was restor-ed. This election the board no longer is in a financial position whereby they can restore pro-grams outlined in proposed cuts. (For a complete list of cuts, see the February 17 issue of the Ledger or the February issue of the Measuring Stock>.

l y R o f t r I rown

I probably hold the record for starting hobbies, and then failing to pursue them.

Way back when I was ten or twelve I started collecting Buffalo Nickels. At that time you still got them back in change on occasion. This was probably the longest lived of all my hobbies. I collected buffalo nickels furiously for about three months.

I might still be collecting them had not a model kit for a Stukka dive bomber caught my eye in Larry's Dime Store. Thus began my new hobby of model building and Larry had my nickel collection.

Model building didn't last long at all, in fact I don't think the glue was even dry on the Stukka when I took up the trombone. A short stint with the trombone proved that I had little interest in it and more importantly, not an ounce of talent.

The trombone was followed in rapid succession by rock collecting, erector sets, slot car racing, leaf collecting, more coin collecting and on and on. You name it and 1 probably dabbled in h .

Well, as I grew a little older, my frantic pursuit of a bobby was interrupted by high school, sports, girlfriends, motorcycles, college and the Army. At last 1 was married and settled badt down into something of a routine. And ray endless search for a hobby began again.

In the past few years I have started no less than a score of new hobbies. Oriental cooking was probably the most short-lived of any of them.

At ray request, I received a magnificent $9.95 oriental cookbook for Christmas. The bamboo shoots and other necessities were purchased, they're still in the pantry and my wife is yet to enjoy one of my long promised culinary delights from the Orient.

I have an $8.95 book on building reproductions of Colonial American furniture. A quick inspection of our furniture will reveal Broyhill, Bassett, and J.C. Penney labels but not a single Roger Brown original.

I have a $10.95 book about training Labrador Retrievers and two $100 labrador retrievers that don' t know a pintail from a parakeet.

As a well traveled vagabond of the hobby world, ray advice to anyone with a hobby would be to stick with it. It raay seera expensive at times, but take my word for it. pursuing one hobby has g^t to be cheaper and more relaxing than trying a new one every week.

Doris Hall, Delightful Speaker

Doris Hall, the third speaker in the current series of Lenten Reviews at the Lowell YMCA. is known to those who have at-tended the series over the years as a delightful speaker.

She and her husband. Chester A. Hall, the former executive director of the Grand Rapids YMCA, made many friends in Lowell through their interest in establishing the local branch of the " Y . "

Mrs. Hall has chosen to review "Granny Brand. Her Story." by Dorothy Garke Wil-son. which is an amazing saga of determination and persever-ance 4 The author will be remem-bered for several biographies. "House of Earth." "Dr. Ida," and "Ten Fingers for God," the story of Dr. Paul Brand, the son of Granny Brand. She also has written novels, one of which, " Prince of Egypt,'' provided the background material for the film "The Ten Commandments."

The biography to be review-ed. tells of a young woman who felt impelled to leave her home in London, where she had been protected as only a young woman in the Victorian Age might be. to become a mission-ary in India. There she married, had two children, and continued to serve the people in the hills of southern India until her death at the age of 95. in 1974.

Mrs Hall's talk has been schedule^ for 10 a.m. on Wed-nesday. March 30. Coffee and cookies will be served at 9:45 a.m.. prior to the review. Sitter service is available in a room at the south entrance to St. Mary's School, at 1 cost of fifty cents per child.

There is no admission fee for the review; all are invited to attend and enjoy the fellowship and thought-provoking talk.

The Rev. Hedah Pae, left, and M n . Nancy Wills were the first two speaken in (be curreat Lenten Review aervles.

Return To

St. Mary's Fifty "senior parishioners"

were able to take advantage of the good weather S t Patrick's Day. They came to visit, enjoy each other's stories, and wel-come two former pastors at S t Mary's Church, Lowell.

Fr. John Gnybowski and Fr. Ben Marciulonis walked among the tables saying hello to old friends and exchanging the best of old stories. Most of those present agreed it would be well worth getting together two or three times a year. Perhaps some of those absent can add to the good times of St. Pat's Day.

The Mass and luncheon was sponsored by the volunteers for Senior Citizens from the Time and Talent Survey conducted at St. Mary's some time ago. There were twenty-six ladies who lent a hand for this lunch-eon. Members from 192 families have volunteered to assist in various worship, educational, management, and Christian ser-vice areas.

Five of the "Seniors" receiv-ed St. Patrick's Day Planters as door prizes and everyone receiv-ed the "bounty" of S t Patrick.

To The Editor: I would like to present a

taxpayer's side on the proposed millage to the Lowell Board of Education and the people of Lowell.

The taxpayer also has in-creased heating costs, lights and living expenses (food, cloth-ing. insurance, etc..) plus in-creased assessments on h i r property, of which he has no choice: so he- has to cut expens-es where he can.

The City of Lowell will have an 18% increase in assessments on local property which is going to increase our taxes consider-ably. Most people will have enough taxes to pay without an additional 2 mills for schools.

The schools now arc getting the largest share of our local taxes and 1 believe everyone, schools, government, at all lev-els. and people should live within their income.

Maybe the schools arc having difficulty getting the money from the State, but we should not 4iavc to subsidize the State for the money they should be sending ihc schools. They are spending more than they have.

Respectfully. A. Townscnd

To (be Voters of the Lowell Area This is "the month of mill-

age." There is an important vote coming to you on March 28. This vote, as we well know , is to raise our present 15 voted mills to 17. or a 2 voted mill increase. As the Student Congress of Lowell High School, we feel that we should take an affirmative action to get the point of view of the students across to you.

We feel that, as far as students are concerned, there arc two main areas that are going to be missing; first, many acadcmic classes: and secondly, our fine athletic programs.

First the class cuts. Art and home economics will be cut in half, our shop program will be minus a teacher, our vocal and instrumental programs will suf-fer dramatic cuts. Many of these first-listed, vocational training classes like art and shop arc taught at Skill Center, but Lowell, as every other high school, may only send a certain number pf students to Skill ( ^ t c r sQAi toc f i ck lva rc cut in our high scnoor curriculum, we will be depriving some students of learning skills which would prepare them for mean-ingful jobs in society.

Lowell Senior High has an excellent band and choir pro-gram: this year our band receiv-ed an excellent ratings at the district festival and qualified for the state competition. Another major cut will be in the audio-visual supply area. Almost all of the movies and filmstrips that all classrooms see are rented through a membership to the Kent County Intermediate School District. Filmstrips and movies arc an important part of any and all classroom learning.

The administration is also being forced to "pink-slip" a counselor. Counseling on the high school level is very import-ant. Our'counselors Handle ev-erything from freshmen blues and confusion to helping upper-classmen fill out college and job applications. They do all of the 974 report cards four times a year and class scheduling tw ice a year, so every student comes in contact with the Student Services Center staff many-times during their years in high school. It would be unfair to possibly cut your child's time w ith the counselors, which could cost him/her a job. a scholar-ship. or the opportunity to take a high school class that could be important to his/her future.

The second area, and in the students' minds the hardest hit area, is Sports. Sports at Lowell Senior High have built up a reputation for having a fine program that involves over 400 students a year. We feel that the, community as a whole is proud of both our well established sports and those that have been added in recent years to round

. out our progtam. Sports are an important part

to a student's "growing up." They involve learning to com-pete fairly, good sportsmanship, and learning that you can't always win all the time. They also bring a force that draws the whole school together; whether at a match or game, school spirit is a force that is undeniably there, alive and well.

But sports have come to mean more than just football and basketball. Our sports program has grown to include guys and girls teams of tennis, track, basketball, girls gymnastics, boys football, golf, and cross-country, with many co-ed "acti-vities like debate, band, choir, and drama.

For the people that attend the games, they have seen that Our teams improve greatly from

t o o o o o o o o o o o o o

year to year; maybe the scores don't always show it. but the spectators and teams knov^it Many of our Varsity records also show it. such as:

Golf—3rd in conference. De-bate—1st in Tri-River; 1st in districts; competed in state. Wrestling—1st in Tri-River; 3 state qualifiers. Cross-Country —3rd in conference. Hockey-Regional champs. Band—1st in districts; going to state. Drama —1st in districts; 4 superior acting awards.

We. as members of Student Congress and representatives of the high school students, hope that you. as voters, will make the best decision for the school and for the community as a whole on March 28. Vote YES!

Re: School Millage 1 haven't had much to say on

the subject of the millage vote on March 28th. 1 would suggest that before anyone votes yes or no. that they read the book "Encounter" by Milton Fried-man. Professor of hconomics at Ihc University of Chicago. Nobel Prize Winner 1976. if you don't have time to do that, read in , Reader's Digest. March 1977 issue, page 1 1 0 . . . "The Path We Dare Not Take." Think real hard about it and then make up your mind.

Ken Sandy

Editor Grand Valley Ledger: 1 have attended several meet-

ings and talked to many people and most people are unhappy with our tax situation. Who do we blame for this situation, our school board? I say this is wrong, our board is trying to maintain a good education for our children under very difficult conditions. Our state govern-ment is taking more and more of our tax dollars and returning less and less to our schools.

Are we going to vote " n o " on the school millage and have our children suffer the consequenc-es. or are we going to attack this problem at its source, the state level? I believe the time has come for the taxpayers of our area to rebel against this system that is robbing us of our farming communitv and turning our rural area into 000 big overss-sessed suburb.

How can the State tell us how much our area is worth, where do they get the figures they arrive at? I'd like to know! We get no help from the Board of Review at the township level. They know we are over assessed but can do little about it, they have a dollar quota to fill, the same can be said for the country. We are in our third year of waiting for a hearing with the State and we are told to keep paying our taxes as they must be paid to get a hearing, in the meantime, our assessed valuation continues to rise.

We. as taxpayers, do not intend to continue to pay taxes that we consider unjust. Our property is assessed at more like 100% than 50% of value. We don't mind paying our fair share of taxes at 50% of value, in fact we even went to the expense of having our land appraised by a competent person, only to find out it meant nothing to the appeal board. Our farming com-munity is being taxed into oblivion, where will it end, and where will the food be grown in the future? Is there no room in our state for a farming commun-ity? These are the questions I'd like answered.

I think we should pass our school millage and then get a drive underway to let the State know our feelings. Let's form a citizen tax reform group and attack these unjust assessments at the state level, we need reform! Vote the millage in but withold our taxes and keep this money in an escrow account until such time as our taxes

«• must be paid. I would be willing to take the

names of anyone interested in sucl{a group. Let's band togeth-er and see how large a group we can form so that the State will hear our voices, and try to learn the proper way to achieve our goal.

Other communities are trying this approach, with some suc-cess. Maybe it could work for us also. Shall we try this method or should we let the children of our community just get by with a minimum education with no enrichment? How then will they compete with the children of surrounding communities?

Citizens of Lowell area unite and fight the hand that is robbing us of our school tax dollars by over assessing our farm lands and placing the burden of taxes on those least able to pay.

I read in your paper that Rep. Crim was in favor of tax reform to reverse the trend for higher and higher millage. Would you

please print an address for the people of Lowell to send their letters to him? I'm sure many people of the community wish to do so.

Sincerely, Mrs. Helen L. Vezino 9795—36th St.. S.E.

In regard to the School Mill-i e

1 am at a loss to see why it is needed. The School gets more money every year without a millage increase.

My valuation goes up every year. When I bought 124 acres my tax was a total of 536.00. I have sold some to two different people. They pay larger taxes on what they have, and I have 35 acres left of which my tax will be SI.000 next year, without a millage increase.

This same thing can be multi-plied a thousand times over. So if School expenses are up. which we know they are. the Revenue is also up many times more.

The farm my father bought has taxes on it today more than what he paid for it in the first place.

Mr. Sinke says many parents are for a millage increase. 1 need only one guess to who they are. Those who rent, and those who live in Trailer Parks, and those who own no property.

Now I understand they are ' trying to get >11 the eighteen-

year-olds registered so they can vote for the millage increase. If this isn't taxation without repre-sentation 1 don't know what it is.

If we were getting quality education it wouldn't be quite so bad. but we are not. Too many

frills and programs that are not necessary. Let's get back to Reading. Writing. Spelling and Arithmetic and a little disci-pline.

Sincerely. Henry W. TichcUar

P.S. In regard to what will 2 mill increase mean to the local taxpayer. Notice the figure the Board is using, they use $12,500 to tell what we will have to pay. Just another misleading answer they give like most of the other ten most asked questions. Who in this day lives in a home or a farm assessed at $12,500. very few will be S25. most will be from $50 and up as mine will.

Dear Editor. When I was in the 9th grade,

a pizza at the local pizza place was only $5.30. Slowly but surely over the years that same pizza now costs me $6.30. This may not seem like much, but it is actually a 20 percent in-crease.

No groups organized to pro-test this drastic inflation. No one boycottcd the place or picketed for lower prices. It was just accepted that with an over-all rise in the standard of living, the cost of such trivial things as pizzas would also increase.

The Yuture of Lowell is not trivial. Yet faced with the issue of appropriating an additional 2 mills to continue giving kids a rounded education, many citi-zens have protested, slung mud. and—if the millage fails—will cause most, if not all of our extracurricular activities to be discontinued. Thus possibly causing some kids to drop out or move to different school dis-tricts. The increase, by the way.

would amount to 7 percent. Taking away some of the

"unnecessary f r i l l s " might solve the schools' money prob-lems but it would be like taking the cheese, sauce, and pepper-oni off the pizza. Just as the pizza would seem flat without all its trimmings, so would the school system be unappetizing without a complete school pro-gram.

Although pizza and millage are two entirely different things, what is true of pizzas is also true of necessities, like a solid educa-tion.

De-de Butts LHS Senior

Dear Mr. Brown: The millage election has re-

minded me of two experiences which perhaps have little or nothing to do with millage. Perhaps they do.

I have had two striking exper-iences with education in the public schools since I have arrived in Lowell nine months ago. One has been with the students and one with the Board of Administration.

First of all. I have met so many students—in school, at functions, or on the streets— who are friendly, disciplined, and outgoing. 1 say this against a background of eight years in Grand Rapids schools, both public and private. I just feel lucky to be here to work with kidi the way you raise them and educate them.

Secondly. I have made two requests of the Board. They were two policy reviews on Released Time for Religious Education which is available to every Church and Shared Time

Programs which would be appli-cable to private schools. Both policies were reviewed in the light of state legislation. This against a background of how many other problems and re-quests this year. The adminis-tration has been most coopera-tive in helping in every legal and friendly way to explore all possibilities for us.

We can't all agree on specific needs or approaches. Our cir-cumstances are so varied. I just hope the cooperation and the product never changes. 1 feel lucky to be here for many reasons. My experience with your students. Board, and Ad-ministration is one of the rea-sons.

Local Water Bills Not Being Paid

The Saranac Village Council met Wednesday, March 16. with Tullis, Hubbard. Denny, Hoppough. Downs. Chadwick. (Wyman and Cuson) present. Herbert Pratt was sworn in as new Treasurer.

The minutes of February 14 meeting were read and approv-ed. Among the bills to be paid was one from Williams and Works for SI.605 storm sewer drainage bill (Pleasant St.). A short discussion followed with Downs moving the bills be paid

Mrs. Cuson stated that she noticed a vers1 minimal discre-pancy in audit (7S-7(i) and suggested the Council and new treasurer look at it. Treasurer s report by Mrs. Cuson made. She staled that she paid Consumers Power out of General Fund, for relocation of poles, with no invoice having been received.

Mayor Tullis replied that the invoice should arrive w ithin the next week or so.

Mrs Cuson reported to the Council that local water bills were not being paid—about 20 payments due. One local busi-ness owes two back bills and they were notified that the 31 st is their payment deadline.

Also, the bank print out of paid bills inaccurate. Mr. Denny will look into that. Chadwick motioned approval of Treasur-er s report.

Sheriff Bensinger made an appearance al the meeting with the February Police report. He staled 303 complaints followed up and 224 man hours worked. Mr Hoppough commented on the problem of dogs running loose and how it is being handled Bensinger replied that the Animal Shelter is responsi-ble and that he has spoken with them regarding the problems. Dale reported that every thing is going well and that there have been no problems as far as he is concerned.

Business—Michigan Week is coming up and Michigan Week committee drew Baldwin and Saranac as visiting boards. President Tullis asked members about their feeling regarding this Tullis slated he felt partici-pation was in order as far as

Michigan Municipal League is concerned. He would like a council member and spouse to attend with him and Mrs. Tullis should they decide to go. The council left the decision up to Tullis. He will contact the Baldwin officials and get their feeling on it and go from there.

April meeting a final decision and committees set up if needed for Exchange day. Tullis read a letter from 8 cap approving an additional maintenance man. Three applications received and interviews scheduled. This is a 6 month program. Denny stated that additional 8 cap help can be used for special projects (gutter cleaning, painting work, etc) He will pursue 8 Cap guidelines.

Denny reported on the pro-gress of the Police Protection. He and three other council members met with the County Commissioners Police Commit-tee and made a counter offer. The breakdown of costs can't be disputed but the inability of the Village to pay $26,000 can't be disputed either. Since some percent of County time has to be spent here anyway, that should be taken into consideration.

Tullis feels another meeting is in order and Chadwick stated that a letter saying what the Village is willing to pay should get things rolling. Downs brought up the fact that the Village was billed an additional S4.000 over the contract price of SI3.00 last year and questioned the additional cost. Mr. Denny will get in touch with Bensinger regarding the extra cost on last year's contract.

The council came to the conclusion that this was not all the doing of Sheriff Bensinger, since before elected he stated that individual towns not be billed, but that of the County Commissioners also. Hubbard stated that half of the County's services are free, why should other half be as high as S26,000?

Denny met with the Library Committee. The library is enti-tled to one mill and anything spent over that has to be reimbursed to the Village. Also, the fact that the Library treas-urer should be deputized so she

can legally pay library bills. New treasurer Pratt will look into all aspects of library ac-counts and funding.

Hoppough brought up the fact that right now there are two oil men w ho rotate at the fire bams supplying fuel. But fire barn in town is not rotated but serviced by one man. Shouldn't both places rotate fuel companies? This will be looked into. In most instances bids could or should be taken but a commodity such as this is hard to regulate with prices fluctuating so often.

Eighteen regular and 18 out-side meters were requested by Irv Taylor. Ninety-four meters were found to be defective when checking. Downs motioned ap-proval and Hoppough seconded.

Discussion regarding Michi-gan Bell's request to place a manhole and 550 feet of conduit to replace lines across the bridge.

A good amount of time at the meeting was spent discussing a disagreement between Wil-liams Sc Works. Brown Bros, and the Village regarding re-sponsibility of an unpaid bill which could hold up bridge finish date. A meeting took place between the Village and Williams and Works a week ago Monday, and last Monday be-tween the Village and Brown Bros. To my knowledge no settlement has been reached. Council Lawyer. John Mc-Namara was to be in attendance at the last meeting.

Parents Question Unethical Practices

iITi/ t.'Mth

m .4 IN I j IAMMICMX IM M <••>><'

The Saranac School Board met recently with Simpson. Sicklesteel. Jackson. Dausman. Powell. Patrick. Kidle. all ad-ministrators and two student representatives present.

The first issue to be brought up at the meeting was presented by parents of a high school student. Judo instructor. Kip Cady's, unethical practices were brought to the board's attention for direct action.The parents alleged that because their daughter and a friend skipped class, which they didn't con-done. Mr. Cady had the other students use them to practice on for an hour. Supt. Cady suggest-ed this be put off until the next board meeting since it was not on the agenda.

A student asked the board what their plans were regarding a designated student smoking area. This is being worked on by a Student Council committee at the moment and then to be presented by that committee to the Board. It is understood this would only tfe for 18-year-olds.

Simpson asked what would happen to FFA funds when program goes and Supt. Cady stated that the board can dis-solve anyway they wish.

Probationary Teacher Notifi-cations brought up. Three peo-ple up for tenure and six people up for two year probation. It was recommended by administration that all be approved. All voted in favor

Board resolved and instructed Supt. Cady to notify 14 teachers of lay-off due -.o financial diffi-culties pending millage election. Roll call vote. All in favor.

Administration Contracts-Recommendations based on previous talks, Simpson moved to extend Adm. contracts. Jack-son seconded. Supt. Cady pro-ceeded to read evaluations of Administrators. Ratings start at I (highest) range, 5 (lowest). Ojars Smits was given an overall rating of 3. His goals are to explore new ideas and programs for greater community interests. Powell asked what he had in mind and he stated he first has to get the feelings of the community—hopefully ques-tionnaires. Chadwick—Overall rating effective (3). His goals are to delegate more authority to Assistant Principal and spend more time at the Elementary School TerBurgh—overall rat-ing effective (3). Simpson com-mended him for giving his all to save Ag program. Patrick stated he has done a good job with curriculum and Powell let it be known that his rapport with the students and staff is commend-able.

Mrs. Hubbard overall rated effective (3). Has done an excellent job for first year administrator. Far exceeding her expectations. Mrs. Harker —overall rated effective (3). She has done a good job so far and is ready for more responsibility. Patrick commended Mrs. Hub-bard for extra time she's put in at school.

Dr. Kidle asked if there were any special problems going from teacher within the system to administrator and she feels it has definitely been an advan-tage. Mr. TerBurgh stated that while a new person has to spend a whole year learning the sys-tem. coming from within, time can be better spent trying to make improvements.

Superintendent's Evaluation —The policy of evaluating the Superintendent has changed in that in recent years the chair-man of the board did the evaluating and now the whole board involved itself in the decision. Kidle moved Execu-tive session be in order for Superintendent Evaluation and that it be put off until end of meeting.

Allocation Budget—18 mills is being requested of the 15 present mills (3 more over present allocation of 15 mills req.) 5.67% increase overall. Moved for approval—Submit this to allocation board.

Bauman talked with Data Processing people last Friday in

regards to a computer system that the Intermediate School District proposed for all District Schools accounts. Baumai stat-ed he felt that they were totally unprepared. They can't imple-ment accounting and payroll responsibility in three months. Bauman suggested non-support of this aspect of Intermediate Boards proposal. Research in area not yet sufficient enough for our school to move on.

Track Coaches were hired. Mr. Wittenbach for boys and Mrs. Gardner for the girls. Cady recommended hiring. Simpson motioned. Bauman supports. Roll call vote 6. yes votes. 1 no vote.

Fifteen CETA positions to be filled. The Instructional Aides requirements are one year col-lege (among other things), both applicants have BA degree. Mrs. Sicklesteel asked how CE-TA Employees stood regarding layoffs. Cady stated they follow same seniority rule as teachers.

School calendar recommenda-tions presented. Tentatively school starts Sept. 5. one day in October and one in November off for teacher in-service. De-cember 23-30 Christmas break. Jan. 2nd off. Mar. 20-24 spring break. May one inservice day off and May 29 off. June 1st last day of school.

Discussion regarding taking out one or more winter months and adding to summer to con-serve energy. All agreed not feasible.

Millase Election: Renew 7 mills and 2 mills—9 total, with just 7 mills—11.000 short, with all 9 mills—18.000 short.

Census—Law states you must establish and enforce compul-sory school laws. Cady suggests CETA employees be ^ d to take censu-s. Board left census decision up to Cady.

'Land Use' Mooting Planned For Farmers

The Ionia County Cooperative Extension Service, in coopera-tion with the Ionia County Farm Bureau, is sponsoring an educa-tional meeting on Public Act 116, This is known as the "Farmland And Open Space Preservation Act." It will be held Thursday afternoon, March 31; 1:30 p.m. at the J.C. Center on Jackson Street in Ionia. Everyone is invited to attend.

This Act took effect in 1974. It covers both farmland and open space and its intent is to provide property tax relief to the own-ers. This is based on the owner's agreement to keep the land in substantially undevelop-ed condition. To date, in Ionia County, there have been 17 persons signing agreements to come under the provisions of the Act, with 4,334 acres in total. This compares to 18.042* acres signed up in Clinton County, 7,515 in Barry County, 4,930 in Eaton and 3,474 acres in Kent County.

as a fruit and the most common use is for rhubarb pie. For piei you'll need about two pounds.

If you don't want to go to the trouble of making a pastry shell for pie. just serve stewed rhu-barb. Combine one cup sugar with one-half cup water in a medium size saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and the syrup comes to a boil. Reduce the heat and add four cups of sliced rhubarb, cut into one-inch piec-ed. If you want to add a little different flavor, add one tea-spoon of grated lemon rind, too.

Simmer the mixture for ten minutes or until tender but not mushy. This is important, as too many times rhubarb is over-cooked. Remove from heat and let stand until cool. Some Michi-gan Grade A whipping cream is a great topper.

This is a marvelous way to get Michigan rhubarb out of the hothouse and into the kitchen.

After having experienced one of the worst winters in history, spring is finally on its way to Michigan. Growing season, of course, isn't for some time yet but there is a fresh Michigan vegetable in produce sections.

It 's Michigan hothouse rhu-barb and most of it comes from Macomb county, just northeast of Detroit. Nationwide, we ' re tied for first place with Wash-ington in production of hothouse rhubarb.

"Larousse Gastronomique" says r h u b a r b or ig ina ted in northern Asia and was introduc-ed into Europe in the fourteenth century. At first it was cultivat-ed by monks as a medicinal plant, then as an ornamental.

While rhubarb is classified as a vegetable, it is treated mainly

Millage Ballots To Be Cast Monday

With the millage election only four days away, voters up and down Main Street, over the dinner table, in the farmhouses and in the factories seem to be talking of little else.

For the most part, nobody wants their taxes to rise but, on the other hand, few will dis-agree that we have an excellent school system which has seen a great deal of progress within the past few years.

Just how good is this school system? It Is a fact that the reading level of Lowell students has been and Is rising while the na t ional ave rage h a s been going down. It was reported in the Ledger one year ago that a local board member returning from a national convention saidk

"1 was amazed and felt a surge of pride and satisfaction to discover that my district was already well into the type of reading program that top educa-tors in the nation were just recommending that all schools adopt because of the alarming number of poor readers that are showing up in the nation's schools."

The Lowell teaching staff recognized the inadequacy of accepted reading methods four years ago and cared enough to spend a great deal of time outside of school hours to re-search and study the problem. It is certainly gratifying to discov-er that national educators, a few years later, came up with the same solution.

Another indication of the quality and growth of our school system is that our "drop-out" rate has reduced drastically over the past ten years until Lowell now has one of the lowest in the state. Lowell is beginning to be recognized for its acfdemic program as well as its athletic. Staff members started noticing this two years ago when at convent ions wi th t eache r s throughout the s tate the word "Lowell" no longer was follow-ed by the question, "Where is tha t?" but, rather, remarks like, " I ' ve heard of your new pro-g ram," or "My principal is going to see if we can observe your system."

tors have come from all over, even out of state, to see Lowell's new facilities and this, to any-one 's recollection, never hap-pened before.

Lowell has a good school system and the children of Lowell are getting a good and progressively better education. That parts of the school program will have to be curtailed if the millage fails to pass on March 28 is an unfortunate but under-standable fact—not a threat.

How Will The Farmer Fare This Year According to the most recent

predictions by the Economic Research Service, USDA, the verdict for American agriculture in 1977 is a healthy one.

Predictions indicate there will be ample food and fiber for the nation. U r g e supplies of com-modities seem to be in store, with a record production of livestock probable.

This forecast, of course, was n u d e before' the recent "ice a g e " and record-breaking win-ter weather records. How this will cut into reserves and affect predictions remains to be ^een.

The total harvest for 1977 may b t large, according to the economists' predictions. An ad-ditional 4 or 5 million acres of soybeans raay be p l a n t e d -above the 50-million mark in 1976. This expansion could con-ceivably cut down corn and feed-grain plantings.

Little change is expected in wheat acreage.

Livestock production reacts sharply to economic conditions. Strong pork production gains in the last half of 1976 were led by a large increase in pork. This was followed by slower advanc-es in beef, poultry, and milk output.

Cattle feeders placed fewer cattle on feed last summer, setting the stage for a drop in 1977 beef production. A sharp upturn in hog production is predicted to continue through mid-1977.

Broiler and milk output may also gain in early 1977.

For the entire year, livestock production should total close to he 1976 output.

From this overview of crop and livestock production fore-casts, it becomes obvious that the supply of farm commodities

greatly influences prices and return to the farmer.

Therefore, the question is. "How will the farmer fare this year?"

Experts predict that farm income will be down during the first half of the year, then pick up during the second half, to reach a level above the second half of 1976.

A Roger VonYltck Is your camera ready to use the next time you need it? Simple but

effective camera maintenance will have you prepared to take pictures rather than lead you to camera repair or poor quality pictures.

One of the greatest enemies to any photographer is dirt. Any form of dirt can give your pictures a hazy appearance, spot your film and worst of all jam your camera. Those of us that have visited a camera repairman know of the expense in cleaning and repairing a camera. To avf td costly repairs and poor quality pictures, the following hints and information may be helpful.

On camera lenses watch for dust and finger prints that cause hazy prints. Always use a lens cap to protect against dirt and scratches or use a field case. It 's a good idea to clean your lens with a camel's-hair brush; then gently wipe the surface of the lens with a clean, soft, lint f ree maierial such as Kodak Lens Cleaning Paper. If moisture is needed, either breathe on the lens before wiping or moisten with a special cleaner such as Kodak Lens Geaner . G e a n both the front and the back of the lens, CAUTION: Never use a treated material that is specifically made for cleaning eye glasses. The chemicals contained in the material can remove the special coating on photographic lenses. Your filters and viewfinder lenses may also be cleaned with the above methods.

Dust and dirt that settles inside your camera can cause considerable trouble, such as spotty pictures, slow shutter speeds and jammed shutter apparatus. Use a device to blow the dirt and fragments of perforated film pieces that occasionally break off and fall into the inside lens area. A small rubber syringe will work jus t fine for this type of cleaning. Be sure to always inspect your camera before inserting a new roll of film, especially around the film-spool ca^ t fes and sprockets. It is also a good Idea to clean the outside of the camera occasionally to keep the fine dust from working in f rom the outside.

Msny cameras need batteries—for built-in flash, exposure meters or electric motors. By periodically cleaning and treating your batteries, you can avoid a problem before it starts. Batteries can sometimes give off a gas that can cause an insulating deposit to build up on equipment contacts and on the ends of batteries.

These deposits might not be visible, make sure they a ren ' t by wiping off these batteries and contacts periodically. In fact, even wipe off a new set of batteries before installing them.

If you are not going to be using your camera for some period of time then remove your batteries and store them to avoid corrosion damage. By placing them in the freezer, wrapped in plastic, will extend the battery life.

It is hoped that with the information presented that you will find many hours of enjoyable photography. If you have any comments or would like to ask a question related to photography, please write to Focal Point, 104 W. Main Street, Lowell, Mi. 49331.
