As contracted by the City ol

Lowell . Mid Michigan Display

Services has installed Christ-

mas decorations on thirty light

poles along Mam Street just m

time to meet its November 30

deadline dale

In a Lowell City Council

meeting held last August, the

council unanimously voted to

junk the old Sanla decorations

and hire Mid Michigan Display

Services to decorate light poles

at a cost of S52 per pole. and al a

total annual cost to the city of

$1 ,560 .00

The Council chose to hire

Mid Michigan rather than buy

new decoration because of the

prohibitve costs involved. City

Manager Ray Quada estimated

that replacing the decorations

would cost the city about

$45 ,000 . based on figures taken

from the current Bronner 's

catalog.

Not included m that figure

would be the cost to the city of

mstaling and removing those

decorations each year.

The contract with Mid

Michigan Display Services

calls for the installation of deco-

rat ions. which includes wrap-

ping light poles in natural bal-

sam roping and hanging non-re-

ligious electrically illuminated

decorations. The contract also

calls for the removal of these

decorations as soon ?s possible

after January 1.

"Watch" program organizing Prompted by a recent rash ol

home burglaries, primarily in

Vergennes Township . Roger

Odell and other Lowell area

citizens are attempting to or-

ganize a "neighborhood watch"

program for the area. A meeting

has been scheduled for Thurs-

day. December 9 at 8:00 P .M.

in the Vergennes Township

Hall at the c o m e r of Bailey and

Pamell. Odell has tentatively lined up

Denny Snyder of the Kent

County She r i f f s Department as

a speaker. Snyder is the depart-

ment ' s "neighborhood watch"

co-ordinator Jim Porter, also

of the S h e r i f f s Department,

will be on hand to add his input

as detective heading the investi-

gation of the rcccni burglaries

in the area. Odell is also trying

to line up someone from the

prosecutor 's office to attend the

•neeting.

Odell stressed «hat a "neigh

borhood watch" program in liu

Lowell's new downtown Christmas decorations are a vast im-provement over the old Santas that had gotten rather dingy and tattered over the years.

Cable TV tower erected

way resembles a vigilante

group, but effectively provides

things that can be done to help

curb crime in a neighborhood.

The meeting is intended for ev-

eryone, including residents of

the City of Lowell and Lowell

Township "The more people

we can get involved, the more

people we 've got helping us

keep this crime problem under

control" , says Odell .

One project Odell has al-

ready taken to task is the circu-

lation of a petition that will go

to Sheriff Phil Heffron asking

for more Sheriff department

patrol car coverage in this area.

"If we are a squeeky wheel,

then maybe we'll get some

grease" . said Odell .

Cable T.V. came one step closer to reality Monday with the erection of this tower. Two more 25' sections were added after this photo was taken Monday afternoon, to bring the tower up to its total height of 150 feet. Antennas were added Tuesday, and the tower now literally bristles with them. Each antenna is aimed at one of the nine over-tbe-air channels to be picked up by the Lowell Calbe T.V. Department. Those channels are 3,6 r 8, 10,13,17,23,35 and 41 and all are to be re-transmitted with ei-cellent clarity. A dish antenna is mounted near the tower to pick up channels transmitting via satellite.

Probably every woman and

girl secretly would like to be

beautiful. When 1 was a young-ster I used to go around the

house with m> finger nails jab-

bed into my cheeks trying to

make dimples Dimples. I though, would make me pretu.

Every individual has not

been granted physical comeli-

ness. but e \e r \ earnest Chns-

tian can be "beautiful within " Isaiah saw the Lord sitting on

the throne, high and lifted up

Above His throne stood the

seraphims crying. "Holy. holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts; the

w hole earth is lull of his glory " When giving instructions to

Moses concerning Israel, the

Lord commanded. " . . . And be ye holy; for I am the laird your

Gixl " And Jesus said. "Blessed

are the pure in heart " The individual who seeks

God with all his heart and soul

has been promised "righteous-ness Irom the God of his salva-

tion." His life will be overflow-ing with love, the mark of true

holiness, and the Holy Spirit

will make htm "beautiful with-

in." Prayer Dear Lord. Thou hast

provided a way wherebv I can

be "beautiful within " Cleanse

away all defilement from my heart, and fill me with Thy di-

vine love Amen Give me. Lord, the mind of

Jesus. Make me holy as He is

May 1 prove I 've been with

Jesus. Who is all my righteousness.

I am gaining a reputation among my family and friends as a lair to

middling oriental chef. I have prepared multiple course dinners on several occasions, with my oriental pepper steak and heel and pea

p«>d recipes always gelling rave reviews. But i l ' s m y C o n t o n e s e e g g rolls that really knock em dead.

So. when Thanksgiving n»lled around this year a number of my

in-law s instructed me lo bring a double batch of egg rolls it) the fam-

ily least This least is turning into quite an international affair by the way My mother-in-law provides the traditional American turkey, a

sister-in-law brings Dutch apple pie. my w ife makes Swedish meat-

balls. and when we throw in my Cantonese egg rolls, we're gelling quite a mi*. There are still two more sisters-in-laws, to which tacos

and lasagna will be assigned next year.

I got into this oriental cooking bit two or three years ago when I

received a wok as a gilt The oriental food lovers in the family knew what they were doing when they bought that one. Die re is one big

problem with being an oriental chef in Lowell though. Since I am probably the only one in the area, the local grocery stores aren't big

on stocking a supply ol pea pods, ginger root, chinesc cabbage and

egg roll wrappers This can mean burning up the roads lo and within Grand Rapids in search of needed ingredients

We had some Inends over lor one of my dinners a couple of years

ago and that afternoon I went to one of the local groceries lor frozen pea p«>ds. which I had always been able lo find in the past To my

horror, wilh dinner only a lew hours away. I was told they didn't

carry them anymore I chased the lull length ol 2Hih Street, stopping al D & W . Hamady and Meijer 's with no luck I finally lound a lew .

bul not enough lor the recipe, atari oriental supply store way m e r by

ions, threw n .ill together, added the spices, and began rolling those scruplious liitle things up in the wrappeis I got about hall way

Here are three plans that can help you re-duce your taxes. You can use them individ-ually or in combination. Not only will they re-duce your taxes, but they pay a high rate of interest and your money is safely insured to $100,000 by an agency of the federal government.

With an IRA account you can tax shelter up to $4000 if you're a working couple and $2000 for individuals. So you accumulate more and reduce your taxes now when you need a tax break most and the interest earned is also tax sheltered until retire-ment. Variable Rate IRA ac-count has a term of 18 months. Interest rate changes weekly and is compounded quarterly. Additions can be made without extending the maturity date. Minimum open-ing amount is only $25.

Know all financial obligations before

using job or real estate agencies

(Prepared by the The Michigan

Association of Certified Public

Accountants)

Hunting for a job or a place to

live? Chances arc you can. find

an agency to help you. These

agcncics can save you time and

money , however , they can be

cosily, and the results are noi al-

ways certain. So investigate be-

fore you sign an agreemeni .

F.mployment agencies profi t

by charg ing a fee for each posi-

tion Ihey fill. Your first task is

to discover what the fee is, who

pays it and if it guarantees you a

satisfactory position. Between

eight and 10 thousand private

employment agencies, recruit-

ers , s e a a h firms and placement

of f ices operate as private

businesses. Their fee is either

"employe r pa id . " "applicant

pa id , " or , in some cases , a

"negot ia ted fee" where the pay-

ment is decided between you

and the employer .

Genera l ly , the fee for a cleri-

cal post averages one m o n t h ' s

salary, al though il could be as

low as a week ' s pay Since an

agency makes money only

when they fill a posi ton, they ' re

leary about advising you to turn

down a j ob offer . Therefore .

C P A s suggest you ask what

your obligations are if you take

a job but leave before an agency

is paid. I f e i t h e r y o u o r y o u r e m

ployer decides you aren' t right

for the posit ion, you could be

required lo pay the fee yourself .

You can help ensure that you

will be properly placed by

chedking out agencies in ad-

vance. Since agencies

specialize in certain types of

employment , check their list-

ings and ask where their

heaviest p lacement contacts

are

If you ' re seeking employ-

ment at the execut ive or manag-

menl level, for a j ob that pays

more than $25 ,000 , you ' re

probably better off slicking to

executive search firms. Their

fee, which can be 30 percent of

annual salary, is usually paid by

an employer . C P A s note that if

you have lo pay a fee lo find a

new job in your regular line of

work it might be lax deductible.

If you move a certain dis-

tance lo lake a new position and

must engage a real estate broker

lo help you ei ther buy or sell

your home or find an apart-

ment . this fee . is deductible up

to a certain limil However , if

your employer pays this fee, il

could be taxable income.

Real estate brokers who

specialize in apartment finding

of ten stipulate that they gel paid

whether you find an apartment

through them or through a lead

Ihey originally gave you,

whether they actually showed

you the apartment or not. Bm-

kers fees are usually one or two

months rent.

While such "appl icat ion"

fees are legal, you might ask if

ihey are refundable if you don ' t

getthe apartment or if you

change your mind about rent-

ing. Be caut ious if your broker

insists on payment before you

are approved by the landlord.

When you sign a contract for

services, find out what the fee is

and if the contract prohibits you ,

from using more than one

agency simultaneously. Also

keep records of fee payments

and copies of contracts you

sign.

City of Lowell, Michigan

301 East Main Street

Lowell, Michigan 49331

Notice is hereby given that in acordance with Act

207 of Public Act of 1921, a public hearing will be

held on Monday, December 20,1982, at 8:00 P.M. at

the Municipal Offices by the Lowell Board of Zoning

Appeals.

This hearing is called to consider a variance in the

Lowell Zoning Ordinance pursuant to Ordinance

NO. 22, which was the zoning ordinance in effect

prior to the new zoning ordinance adopted on

March 1,1982, and in effect on April 15,1982. A var-

iance is requested by Lowell 1 Apartments, which is

located on Deborah Drive extended, from Article

25.7(1), which reads as foHows:

"No building shall contain more than eight (8)

dwelling units."

Said proposal by Lowell 1 Aprartments proposed

sixteen (16) units per building.

•Since plans for Lowell 1 Apartments weft de-

veloped prior to the adoption of the new zoning or-

dinance (March, 1982). a variance must be re-

quested based on the earlier zoning ordinance re-

quirements.

'The proposal of sixteen (16) units per building by

Lowell 1 Apartments is In conformance with the new

zoning ordinance.

The proposed plans for Lowell 1 Apartments are

available for review at the Lowell City Hall during

regular office hours until close of said hearing. Ray E. Quada

Akers is looking ahead wilh

conf idence When asked how

his team would fare inTri -River

competi t ion, he said without

hesitation. " I 'd say we were

gonna win it ."

Akers" conf idence stems in

part f rom the return of nine let-

tcrmen f rom last yea r ' s squad.

Returning from last year are

Sen io r . Greg Malone . Shawn

L o w r y . Lance Bryan. Tim Car-

less, Don Videan. Phil Ulichnie

and Dave Malek . and Juniors

Jason Barber and Kevin

Mattson

New to the squad this year

arc Senior Phil Vroma and Matt

Baerwald , and Juniors Steve

Ralys and Jim Host ler .

Akers also draws comfort

f rom the fact that this year ' s

squad includes some players

with valuable height. Mattson

and Malek are both 6-foot-1:

Bryan is 6-foot-2; Bacrwaldc.

6- foot -3 ; and J im Hostler stands

at a lofty 6-fool -7 .

Akers expects that the team

will benefit especially f r o m the

talents of Greg Malone. who

was chosen fo r last yea r ' s all-

conference basketball team.

Akers said. Malone averaged

16 points a game last year.

" I ' l l be awful disappointed if

he doesn ' t average 20 points

this yea r , " Akers said. "I know

other coaches arc definitely not

going to want to see him on the

cour t . "

In all, the team got in thirty

of the toughest schools a round.

Rogers . South Chris t ian. Cres-

ton. East Grand Rapids , and

Grandvil le were a m o n g the

schools p layed , and according

to Akers, the Lowell team did

well against them all

Commen t ing on Tri-River

compet i t ion, Akers said, "I ex-

pect the league to boil d o w n to

Greenvil le , Lakewood , and

Lowel l . "

Greenvil le and Lakewood

traditionally have strong bas-

ketball p rograms. Akers esti-

mated that Greenvil le had won

the conference title eight of the

last ten years

The basketball team begins

its season Friday with an away

game against Delton.

Athletic boosters meet first payment date

The Athletic Boosters treas-

ury has the funds lo meet the

$15 ,000 first installment pay-

ment of the $40 ,000 pledged by

the Boosters for extracurricular

athletics, according to Booster

treasurer Sandy Nagy.

The funds have become

available just in t ime to meet the

first payment deadline IX*-

cember I

Pan of the first payment was

earned in the Booster Walk-

athon, for which more than

$6000 was pledged. Nagy re-

ports that more than 9 5 o f the

pledged money has been turned

in -• a remarkably high percen-

tage.

Other fund raising effor ts

have been quite succssfu l . but

not all of the money earned has

yet been made available to the

Booster t reasury.

Response to the Century

Club of fer has been good, and

$3.(XX) of the money earned

through the Century Club is

being used to make the first

payment . The December I pay-

ment will leave the Boosters

wilh about $3000 in Us treas-

ury.

This cushion is quite impor-

tant, Nagy says, because the

c lub must begin paying bills on

Looking to the next install-

G O V E R N O R The supply of

A COLONY CAGE F O R B A C K Y A R D

POULTRY FARMERS The colony cage shown here, designed by MOTHER reader Harlan

Attfield. mak"" i» for town or city dwellers lo raise healthy and productive poc . r back yards. The cage la complete schematic is included in the free reprint mentioned al the end of Ihis article) was budt from packing crate boards (for the back, sides, removable parti-

tion, central wall supports, and nest-box f r a m e l . . . five eucalyptus poles (two 60 inch-long posts for the front uprights, two 54-inchers for the back, and an 8 fool roost polel . . . 50 feel of 1 X 3 lumber strips ( f r a m e l . . . 8 feel of heavy wire mesh. 3/4-inch square or 3'4-inch X 1-inch rectangular ( f loor l . . . 10 feel of 1/2-inch-square galvanized mesh, not the flimsy round type (doors and nesl-box f loor l . . two raisin crates (nest boxes) . . . one sheet of galvanized iron. 3 feel by 8 feet (roof) and . . . 2-inch s t ra ight nails. 3/4-inch U-nails. flalheaded galvanized roofing nails, and hinges.

Here s how the "C cage operates: Chicks are started in a left-hand comparlment which is formed by placing a removable parti t ion in the middle of the cage They will need newspaper placed on ihe floor and topped wilh about 2 or 3 inches of wood shav-ings (or similar material). A cardboard box. with a 60-wall electric light bulb hanging over il. is placed in the rear ol the compartment .

Then, for seven lo eight weeks the chicks are confined lo the left-hand section of the coop, provided with heal, and fed mash and water from shallow troughs or pans placed on the litter near the door After that the box can be taken out. the partition re-moved. and the youngsters given the run of the cage

To provide a good food container for older birds, simply fit a trough feeder to the in-side of the middle door A gravity waterer is excellent for this type of coop.

The particular cage on which these plans are based was fitted with a roost pole Such a pole isn't absolutely necessary, but if you decide to use one. it should be paint-ed twice with crankcase oil tha t has been diluted half-and-half wilh kerosene The two nest boxes, located on the right side of ihe cage, must be kept darkened with a fabric blind lo encourage use by the hens

One-haif inch-square mesh on the nest floor will give a bit under the occupant 's weight, and thus prevent the egg from cracking when it 's dropped A slanting floor is incorporated in the nest box. which enables the freshly laid eggs lo roll lo an open air shelf where they can cool quickly and can be gathered whenever it 's convenient

As the hens production declines, the parti t ion can be replaced and preparations made for a new batch of chicks.

There are some problems you should watch for when using this sys tem However, they are easily prevented:

|1| In some cases the birds' droppings won t dry fast enough lo avoid the breeding of flies Manure should removed weekly when such pests are troublesome

|2| Since limiled space inclines chickens lo cannibalism, they should be debeaked (preferably before the onset of egg production). This operation is easily done on a young bird by removing the lip of the upper b e a k - j u s t in front of the p a d - w i i h a sharp knife, scissors, or side cutters To prevent bleeding and infection, cauterize the wound by placing a hot knife against the cut surface.

|3| The cage should be placed under shade lo protect il from direct sunlight when temperatures are high On windy or rainy days, burlap bags can be hung over the front of the coop

the World" project.

On November 5. Christine Crawford, of Eastgate. shared wilh them mementos and

memories of her month-long visit to Ireland last spring.

Christine visited relatives in Ireland, and she had many in-

teresting facts to share with the

even more video games than we do

On November 12. David

Davis, ol (irand River Drive,

put together a display of Indian lore for the Blue Birds He com-

pletely captivated the group with the vast amount ol knowl-edge which he has accumulated

since childhood concerning In-

dian cultures The girls learned some Indian sign language, and

ihey learned about Indians who lived in Ihis area.

The girls wish (o express their sincere thanks to both

Dave and Christine

Whether it 's a table-lop si/ed

pine or a giant Colorado blue

spruce, there's a Christmas tree

lo match the home and budget of any family at one of Michi-

gan's cut-your-own tree farms,

according to the Automobile

Club of Michigan.

"Michigan is the nation's

leader in plantation Christmas tree production and this season families can pick from nearly

one-hall million evergreens al 59 choose-and-cut farms."

staled Auto Club Travel Opera-

tions Manager James Drury

" Ih i s year's excellent pro-duction also has helped keep

prices generally unchanged lor the second siraight season."

Dairy said

Prices for Scotch pines, the

most popular variety, start at S2 50. 50 cents less than last

year. The more exotic blue

spruce and Douglas Mrs sell lor

up to S35. unchanged from a year ago.

Eight farms listed on the Auto Club 's 1982 Cut Your

Own Christmas Tree Guide sell

trees by the fool, ranging from SI t o S 5

Families can select from 16 tree varieties, including com-

mon pines, concolor and French green firs and Black Hills spruce

Some farms sell potted Christmas trees which can be planted outside later Thirty-

eight larms offer evergreens up to 30 leel tall

• Activities at cut-your-own

larms have d lua \ s centered around larmly tun and ihis year

is no dillerent." Drury said

-\i one larm near Kuby. chil-dren can pet farm animals while weekend visits hv Sanla Claus

are pan of the fun al facilities near Slurgis. Montrose. Otis-

ville. Dry den and Grass Lake.

'Cul lers can warm up with hoi

cider or coffee at 13 farms while 10 have snack bars or free treats

for children.

It planning a trip lo a choose- *

and-cut farm this season. The Auto Club suggests these tips

'Bring a hand saw Most

farms lend saws, bul bringing

your own saves time il all are in use Axes are banned

•When choosing a tree,

make sure the needles are flexi-ble and do not come off easily

Most pmes and Douglas lirs

hold needles while spruce and balsam trees shed

'Saw the trunk close lo the

ground II it is a Scotch pine, bounce n in the field lo remove

old needles Seven farms on the

Auto club's guide w ill mechan-ically clean trees ol dead nee-

dles and other debris

'Bring twine to tie trees lo cars, although most farms have

rope Tie the Irees's base al the « fronl Founeen larms will wrap

trees lor easy transport •After bringing the tree

home, store il in a cool area

Before placing it in a stand, cut an inch or two off the bottom

and immediately place it in the stand filled with water Check

watei level daily

•Before decorating, check tree lights lor bare wires and

make sure electrical outlets

aren't overloaded ' ' f rees should lv kepi away

from flames and heating ducts

' f r e e hags, available at

many larms. help keep needle drop lo a minimum when the tree is removed
