She added, "where do you take that money out? I don't know." Lowell's business manager Jim Gallagher said the pro- jected budget revenues used are conservative. He supported that statement by noting that the assumption was based on a student increase (blend) of 74 and state aid foundation increase of 2.58 percent. The district's amended June 1996-97 budget ($76,000 in exceeding revenues) was helped by additional students (not forecasted) in September and increased state aid. However, as board president Pete Gustafson explained 1997-98 is a contract negotiation year. "If it were not a contract negotiating year, we'd be at a break even point in our budget," Gustafson said. He based that on the assumption that approximately $500,000 will be spent for projected salary and step in- creases. "I think that drives us to deficit budgeting or into cutting programs," Gustafson said. "This budget doesn't suggest any significant increase in materials which indicates we're trying to maintain the status quo." Associate superintendent Richard Korb said the proposed excess expenditures are for the addition of four new teachers, health care para pros, self contained para pros, special educa- tion para pros, a bus driver and PICA, salaries and retirement costs. "1 don't think the deficit spending will be as much as $327,000 due to some unanswered questions (student growth and state aid)," Bleke said. "The district must balance quality programs with long range budget concerns. We must be fair to current students, but cognizant of future students." Gallagher told the board at Monday's budget hearing that the numbers it hears from the audit in October will be damn close to the proposed figures he presented. The proposed deficit spending will reduce the district's fund balance to $1,465,313. **ART GALLERY HOURS FOR SUMMER** The Lowell Area Arts Council Gallery will be open Tues- day through Friday 1 to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Closed Saturdays, holidays and all holiday weekends.

Conservative revenue assumptions and contract negotiating year help steer district toward less than ideal proposed deficit budget By Thaddeus J . Kraus Lowell Ledger Editor

A general fund budget appropriation for the 1997-98 school year that reflects a deficit of $327,400 is as soothing as

a Chinese water torture. "Presenting a deficit budget is not the best thing to do,"

Lowell superintendent Bert Bleke said. "With where this district currently stands with its programs I don't think we have an option."

Board trustee Ellen McClain, who voted against the

Along Main Street

m

appropriation, restated what she has expressed in the past, "I don't agree with deficit spending to begin a year."

She added, "where do you take that money out? I don't know."

Lowell's business manager Jim Gallagher said the pro-jected budget revenues used are conservative.

He supported that statement by noting that the assumption was based on a student increase (blend) of 74 and state aid foundation increase of 2.58 percent.

The district's amended June 1996-97 budget ($76,000 in exceeding revenues) was helped by additional students (not forecasted) in September and increased state aid.

However, as board president Pete Gustafson explained 1997-98 is a contract negotiation year.

"If it were not a contract negotiating year, we 'd be at a break even point in our budget," Gustafson said.

He based that on the assumption that approximately $500,000 will be spent for projected salary and step in-creases.

"I think that drives us to deficit budgeting or into cutting programs," Gustafson said. "This budget doesn't suggest any significant increase in materials which indicates we're trying to maintain the status quo."

Associate superintendent Richard Korb said the proposed excess expenditures are for the addition of four new teachers, health care para pros, self contained para pros, special educa-tion para pros, a bus driver and PICA, salaries and retirement costs.

Probably most house-wives have to keep an eye on the cupboard. A box of read v-to-eat cereal becomes stale quickly when the contents are left exposed to the air.

One day I sought to res-cue a halt -t illed bag of puffed wheat from going to waste. I put the contents into a pan and placed it in the oven, hoping the heal would restore crisp-ness to the tough and unap-pealing cereal.

Later, when the members of my family showed a lack of

enthusiasm for the "recondi-tioned" wheat puffs, 1 said in a tone of discouragement. "I guess 1 didn't get rid of it. did rr

Then came my youngster's optimistic reply: "Well. Mama, not one day has gone by yet."

Somet imes when our prayers aren't answered im-mediately. we are prone to become discouraged. But we should remember that God hasn't promised to answer all our prayers while we are yet calling. We must hope and keep believing. Remember

Waldron and Hoag share in Girls State experience By Thaddeus J. Kraus Lowell Ledger Editor

Crystal Waldron and Beth Hoag are hoping for three things while they're away at Girls State - to enjoy them-selves, have a good time and to learn something.

"I was excited about the

opportunity, but was not ex-actly sure what to expect,"

Hoag said. The purpose of the 57th

American Legion Auxiliary Girls State is to emphasize the importance of government in modern life; to educate young women in the duties.

privileges, rights and respon-sibilities of American citizen-ship; and to awaken a sincere conviction that a well-in-formed, intelligent, partici-pating citizenry is vitally needed to protect and pre-serve our American institu-tions and our democracy.

Both Waldron and Hoag were nominated by the high school social studies staff.

The basic qualifications for Girls State are leadership, citizenship, scholarship and

character. All of those in attendance

participated in the electoral process and have an opportu-nity to hold public office. They are encouraged to share in the formulation of public

policy. It was a competitive pro-

gram," Hoag said ' T h e stu-dents who attended were or-ganized and motivated."

The Lowell junior who is interested in studying jour-nalism and education said she hopes she can participate as a member of the press corps while at Girls State.

Hoag and Waldron, also a junior, left Saturday, June 14, for Girls State held on the campus of Central Michigan University. The program ran through June 21.

It is the program's charge that each participant leaves with a mature appreciation of the basic strengths and weak-nesses of the American sys-tem of government.

Hoag was sponsored by

the Lowell American Legion Auxiliary and Waldron by the Lowell Rotary.

There are 504 g i r l s state-wide who attended G i r l s State this year.

cozy corner by Roger Brown

In last week's column I alluded to an incident involving my dad, my next youngest brother, Ed, and my antique airplane. If you read this column regularly, you know that I often use my last name as a verb to describe my over zealous, bull-in-a-china-shop^on't-know-my-own-strength, approach to carpentry, plumbing, mechanics, etc. If I overtighten a bolt and strip the threads, I've "Browned" it. If I take one too many swings with the hammer and dimple a nice piece of wood trim, I've "Browned" it. If I try to move a piece of furniture myself, instead of rounding up some help, I'm likely to "Brown" it by breaking of fa leg, ripping the linoleum, etc. I've done this stuff

all my life, and can't seem to overcome the trait. It's in my genes.

So, when you put two Browns together with a fragile, antique airplane, you have all the ingredients for disaster. Kinda like drinking double martinis and playing with dyna-mite.

Two weeks ago, my dad called. Most of the family was at his house and had come up with the idea for a Father's Day fishing trip to Lake Erie after walleye. It was to be my two brothers, my brother-in-law, my dad and me in the big old fishing boat my dad and 1 were partners in.

"Okay, sounds good" I said, "Boat hasn't been in the water for two years. We better get it outa there, tweak the motors, clean it up, yada, yada, yada." By "outa there" I meant the back of my hangar. This meant moving my old biplane and a Piper Cub that belongs to a friend. No big deal if you' re careful. But, if you're a Brown, at least from my clan of Browns, being careful is just not that easy.

They couldn't come over that night, so we scheduled the next evening. "I've got an appointment in Grand Rapids late in the afternoon and am going to swing by a motorcycle shop for some parts after that. See you at the hangar at seven" I said. It was a plan. Or so I thought.

I ran a little ahead of schedule and drove up the driveway to my hangar at a quarter to six. The hangar door was open and both airplanes were outside. I should have been glad that they had saved me the trouble of helping, but something told me this was not a good situation.

When I got out of the car, my fears were confirmed immediately. These two grown men, a grandfather and a great-grandfather, shuffled up to me, heads bowed like a couple of teenagers that had just crashed dad's car. "You're looking at a couple of the sorriest guys on earth" my dad said. It wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been, but bad enough.

Rather than simply pushing my Stearman out of the hangar, they elected to use the infamous Wheelhorse. I've fabricated a lift mechanism on the tractor's three point hitch. It works great for moving all the other airplanes around here, but isn't designed to accommodate the big rudder that pro-

trudes well beyond the tail wheel of the Stearman. Sure enough, the tail of the airplane fell off the lift. The rudder crashed down onto it bending several tubes in the frame and tearing the fabric-cover.

As I inspected the damage, my first inclination was to throw up. My second urge was to choke two of the three Browns in the hangar. I fought back both reflexes and settled in to a silent rage. This eventually subsided to acceptance and thoughts of how to effect a repair. My silence drove my dad and brother nuts. Finally Ed said, "Geez Rogie, get mad! Scream, swear, throw something!" But, de Tar Baby, he say nuthin'.

Then, to add insult to injury, they showed me the cowl on the Wheelhorse. The twenty-some-year-old tractor is equipped with the optional "idiosyncratic transmission." As Ed tried to drive it away from the scene of the Stearman fiasco, the tractor refused to shift into reverse and drove itself into the boat. Damage to the boat was minimal, but the hood of the tractor was crumpled pretty good. I thought this was extremely funny, and my stoneface began to melt, offering some relief to Brer' Fox and Brer' Bear.

The reason I thought this so funny, is the tractor was originally my dad's. He got sick of wrenching on it and passed it on to brother John. He tired of the repairs, and on it went to brother Eddie. Somewhere in there I think it also spent some time as a communal repair project at the cottage. A couple of years ago I was talked into taking it to the airport where it spends its twilight years in the corner of the hangar awaiting parts. I have a new power take-off clutch on order as I write this.

Somehow the whole scenario of my family members using that old Wheelhorse to trash my favorite toy just struck me as being hilarious. Don't ask me why, 'cause I don't know myself. Even if I did, it would be way too complicated to put down on paper. Let's just leave it with a word to the wise. If you ever encounter a Brown on a big old Wheelhorse, be sure to give him lots, and lots of room.

As for the boat, the fishing trip, repairs to the airplane... those are all stories for down the road.

never made." -

Sharing Ihe Visi

BERT R. BLEKE Lowell Schools Superintendent

It seems that we are all terribly busy these days - both adults and children alike. Many of us run around with our Franklin planners jammed with important dates, meetings, and obliga-tions. Many of our children seem to be involved with more organized activities than ever before with perhaps very little time to think about just being themselves.

In the past, it seemed we spent time thinking about weeks and months and years. Now we spend time talking about minutes and even seconds. If you don't go five to 10 miles an hour over the speed limit, it seems that people are all but parked in your trunk. In a world filled with technology, time-savers, and promises of less paperwork and more leisure time, somehow we seem to have less time, more things to do, and less fun.

I guess this was on my mind several Sundays ago when I took a few brief moments to talk to the graduating seniors. The message I hoped to convey was that how they live each day

would finally determine the quality of their life. 1 shared with them the following poem that I share with you so that yoq might also think a bit about how you spend your time and how you might increase the quality of your days. The poem was written by a native American whose name is unknown.

Today Welcome a stranger

Seek out a forgotten friend Keep a promise

Laugh Listen

Brighten the heart of a child Encourage the young

Express your gratitude Be gentle

Take pleasure in the Beauty and Wonder of the earth

Speak your love

Your comments about this concern or any issue would be greatly appreciated. Send to Bert Bleke, Lowell Area Schools, 300 High St., P.O. Box 269,

HEARTBURN

Heartburn is that burning sensation which begins usually under the breast bone, and may radiate up higher into the chest, sometimes even reaching the back of the throat. While patients call it heartburn or acid indigestion, doctors refer to it as gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD.

Heartburn usually occurs when stomach acid moves from your stomach up into the esophagus (swallowing tube). The

acid may be allowed to move in this backward direction if the muscle at the bottom of the esophagus becomes weak or incompetent. Things which may affect this muscle adversely are:

• Caffeine • Alcohol • Nicotine • Fatty or fried foods • Carbonated beverages • Peppermint • High acid foods Also, lying down after eating, being overweight and wear-

ing tight fitting clothes may also lead to heartburn. If you have heartburn, try to discontinue or avoid the

substances listed above. Lose weight. Don't lie down after eating.

Over the counter medications such as antacids (Maalox. etc.), Pepcid AC, Zantac 75, all may offer you a fair amount of relief. If these measures are not successful, see your doctor to rule out more serious causes of heartburn, such as ulcer disease or esophageal disease. If you do have something other than routine heartburn, a stronger prescription may be needed.

MICHIGAN OFFERS NEARLY UNLIMITED SUMMER FUN OPPORTUNITIES

With summer now officially upon us, Michigan citizens are looking forward to the sunny days and warm weather that lure residents and visitors to our state's many tourist attractions. Michigan's beautiful summers and plentiful natural resources have long been a tourist attraction for travelers from across the United States and Canada. On most weekends the highways tell the story. Residents from lower Michigan congest the highways on Friday afternoons as they head up north and Sunday evenings as they make their way home for another work week.

Tourists have plenty of reasons to make Michigan their summer vacation destination. Our state boasts the greatest concentration of fresh water in the world - the Great Lakes, accompanied by more than 3,000 miles of shoreline and 11,000 inland lakes. Michigan also attracts campers and

hikers because of our 99 state parks and recreation areas, comprising more than 260,000 acres of land and more than 14,000 campsites. Did you know that if you stand anywhere in Michigan you are within 85 miles of one of the Great Lakes?

But for Michigan residents, tourism is more than just fun. It pumps billions of dollars into Michigan's economy and supports thousands of businesses across the state. A recent study indicates that Michigan is the 13th least costliest state to vacation in. Tourism is the second-biggest industry in Michi-gan and will generate an estimated $4.3 billion this summer.

The great part of our state is that there is something for everyone. Michigan hosts more than 1,100 festivals and events throughout the summer, ranging from arts and crafts festivals to fishing derbies, to sailboat races, to hot air balloon

festivals. You can wander through one of hundreds of muse-ums and galleries, such as Greenfield Village, or visit a state park, golf, canoe, fish or sail on one of our many lakes.

So before the summer slips away and you miss watching the sun set on the horizon or land a hole-in-one on one of the more than 600 public golf courses, gel out and enjoy Michi-gan.

1 want to thank everyone who traveled to Lansing last Thursday to testify before the State Board of Education. Hundreds of parents, children, students and teachers attended the meeting to urge the board not to rescind wording in the mission statement. The interest shown, both at the board meeting and through contacts made to my office, were over-whelming and I appreciate your efforts.

Plattner and Hoag attend H O B Y conference Aaron Plattner and Beth Hoag returned recently from the

four-day HOBY (Hugh O'Brien Youth) Foundation program. It was Hoag's second year in the program. Last year, she

served as an ambassador and this year she was a junior counselor.

As an ambassador, Plattner attended seminars that teach students how to think, not what to think.

Topics discussed at the seminars included: media moral-

ity, new trends in education, entrepreneurship, financial plan-ning, gangs and volunteerism.

'The program focuses on self-esteem, team building and stresses individualism," Hoag explained. "As a junior counse-lor, it was my job to raise the spirits of the ambassadors."

The junior counselors also served as liaisons between the ambassadors and counselors.

"I love the program," Hoag said. "It trains leaders of tomorrow today."

7 Looking For An

Independent Agent? One Name Says It Best

An agent who represents just one insurance

company can't always provide the insurance

that's best for you.

But your independent Auto-Owners agent

represents several companies. So if one

insurance isn't right in price or coverage, he'll

find another that is.

Your local Aulo-

Owners agent. No one

does il belter - or knows

you belter - than him.

Ogle said. All freshmen will be required to take social studies 9;

sophomores. U.S. History: and juniors, government. "The new ninth-grade social studies class offers students

exposure in cultural geography and economics." Ogle said. The Lowell staff will recommend that sophomores take

AP (advanced placement) history. *1 don't know if that is too soon, but we re going to try it. We're going to work our tails off so that the students pass the test/1

As seniors, students can choose to take a social studies elective. Choices will include World History I. World History II. U.S. Current Issues. U.S. Honors History, minority studies, psychology and honors government.

Lowell will take the basic framework from the county's social studies curriculum, which has yet to be completed, and write its own set of standards and assessments.

The social studies HSPT will concentrate on history,

economics, civics and geography.

'The HSPT has pushed schools to change their curricu-lums faster so that they are aligned with the test," White said.

T o THE EDITOR

Dear Editor; This week, in The Ledger, you published some notable

quotes from well-known personages. One was by Ernest Hemingway who said, "What is moral

is what you feel good after." I have not learned that what is moral is what makes you feel good. What is moral is what is found in a set of standards, God-inspired and time-tested, namely. The Bible. Doing what feels good leads to hedonism

and toward anarchy. It may be noted that Hemingway's humanistic philosophy

led him to the point where he committed suicide. Was this

"If has moved education in the right direction faster th' anything I've seen come along in 25 years."

moral and did he feel good afterward? Two quotes by humanists on one page were almost tc

much. You also quoted Dr. Benjamin Spock as saying, "Wh-good mothers and fathers instinctively feel like doing for thei babies is the best, after all." I suspect this philosophy, es poused by Dr. Spock. is why we have pipe bombs, and n metal detectors and police patrols in our high schools todai

Instincts are not substitutes for sound judgment At sound judgment must be based, again, on a set of standard] which are grounded in The Bible, the book of God's wisdor which applies to all generations.

KDL progam to explore medieval inventions

How many practical devices and commonly used concepts came from the Middle Ages? Surprisingly many items such as stained glass, windmills, perspective drawing and woodblock printing were all medieval inventions.

of their own to take home. This program is offered in conjunction with the Kent

City and LPGA ratify reopener agreement By Thaddeus J. Kraus Lowell Ledger Editor

A wage reopener agreement between the city and the Lowell Police Officers Association was ratified Monday night.

The agreement reached will provide full time police officers and the department's sergeant with an annual increase of 4.25 percent.

The association refrained from participating in a merit raise system as used by other city employees, instead favoring a flat increase. •v t -r

However, the association was in agreement with perfor-mance evaluations for each of the officers.

"Over the years the city has had good luck working out an agreeable level of operation with the police department," Lowell Mayor Bill Thompson said.

This year's, the wage reopener clause only required that salaries be negotiated.

Also, overtime scheduling using part lime officers require discussion on its effectiveness between administration and association.

The new wage schedule begins July 1.

Making News...

l.owell Middle School's eighth-grade language arts classes worked in groups of three or four to create a unique news presentation and broadcast projects based on a current topic of research. Students based their presentations on a particular theme such as unsolved mysteries, music or natural disasters. They worked to-gether to design a large backdrop which related to their theme. After changing their appearances and names, they each gave an oral presentation to the class. Some ambitious groups made original commercials or weather reports to add to their presentations. The eighth-grade students learned research and presentation skills as well as the importance of teamwork.

COLLEGE NEWS

Kclley Jo Sy t sma of Lowell received a bachelor's degree in Fisheries and Wild-life Management during com-mencement ceremonies in May at Lake Superior Stale University.

She is the daughter of Mary and Tom Sytsma of Lowell.

Fol lowing graduat ion from LSSU. she plans to earn a second bachelor's degree in elementary education.

Melissia (Nikodemski) Crandall has been awarded the Doctor of Veterinary Medi-cine degree from Michigan State University's College of Veterinary Medicine. She re-ceived the degree during com-mencement and hooding cer-emonies on campus May 2.

Crandall is the daughter of Sandra and James Nikodemski of Lowell and a 1989 graduate of Lowell High School.

"Crandal l ' s veterinary skills will be a valuable asset to the public " said Dr. Lonnie King, dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine. "Veteri-narians play critical roles in maintaining the world's food supply and protecting the health of companion animals including horses. Many pur-sue careers in public health, biomedical research, and vet-erinary education."

Graduates of the College of Veterinary Medicine have completed at least two years of college-level preveterinary

requirements before entering the four-year professional program. The veterinary pro-gram includes courses in the basic sc iences such as anatomy, microbiology, and pharmacology, as well as classes in causes, detection, treatment and prevention of diseases.

Veterinary students also receive in-depth clinical ex-periences in large-and small-animal surgery and medicine and are trained in professional ethics, business management and client communications.

Calvin College has an-nounced its spring 1997 dean's list. To earn a spot on the dean's list at Calvin re-quires that a student maintain a 3.5 grade point average for the semester and has a 3.3 cumulative grade point aver-age at one of the country' s top Christian, liberal-arts col-leges.

Students from Lowell included on the list are Claire V. Basney, Mark 1. Bajema and DustinJ. VanStee;from Alto are Nicole L. Van Til and Jamie D. Van Til.

Calvin has been honored in the past by such prestigious sources as the New York Times, the Templeton Honor Roll for Character-Building Col leges and Pe te r son ' s Guide to Colleges and Uni-versities. Established in 1876 in Grand Rapids, Calvin had a 1996-97 enrollment of 4,051 students. Only about 25 per-cent of that student body achieved dean's list status during the spring semester.

A total of 1,171 students achieved placement on the spring quarter dean's list at MichiganTechnological Uni-versity by earning a grade point averageof 3.5 orhigher. Dr. Martha Janners, dean of students, reported that 235 students earned straight 4A' averages of 4.00.

The following students from this area were honored: Sheryl Marie Nugent, senior in chemical engineering; David Louis Rottier, senior in electrical engineering (4.00); and Scott Patrick Smith, sophomore in civil engineer-ing, all of Lowell.

Vergennes Township adds familiar and new faces to key positions By Marc Popiolek Contributing Writer

Vergennes Township officials have sewn -up and updated several committee and personnel positions for the next several

years. • Leaving township positions are sexton Fay Sterling and

historic district commissioners Bill Barber and Judy Band. Replacing Sterling is Kam Carpenter, and David Thomp-

son will replace Barber and Baird. Baird and Barber step down after many years of service,

while Sterling resigns after two years on the job. Thompson will join a commission that is about to estab-

lish historic landmarks in the district. t4I believe David will do an excellent job. We were lucky

he agreed," said treasurer Jean Hoffman. According to clerk Mari Stone, Thompson's interest stems

from the fact that his family was part of the area's original

settlers. "We need somebody to take the bull by the horn and start

to preserve our history. 1 think David can do that," said trustee

Mark Weber. While the township filled its non-paying positions, it also

appointed three paying positions. The township appointed James Dozema as its attorney.

Jim Hegerty as its engineer and Phil Saurman as its auditor. Thompson will serve a two-year term, while the others

will be reviewed yearly.

When completely filled, e 400 leaf tribute tree will rooted by the strength, sup-rt and contributions of its

recipients. The Lowell Area Educa-

tion Foundation recognized the five individuals who were first to be placed on the tree.

Lowell Area Education Foundation president Pinky McPherson acknowledged that the purpose of the tree is to remind the community of the importance of education and to provide a means of recognizing individuals for their contributions to Lowell Schools, theircommunity and their families.

"The leaves are a way to pay tribute to a spouse, friend, or mentor," McPherson said.

The leaf can be obtained as a tribute for someone in a gradu-ating class, a class reunion, a business or an organization.

The foundation's goal is to receive a minimum of $400 per leaf and a total of $160,000.

The money will be set aside in a trust with only the earnings being used to fund foundation projects. Of the annual earnings, 15 percent will be added back to the prin-cipal balance to insure con-tinued growth.

This year's recipients were Marsha Wilcox, Chris Burch, RuthThurtell, Robert Reagan, Carol Reagan and Amanda K. Tichelaar.

Wilcox, a graduate of Lowell High School, has served as president of the Lowell School Board and has served on the Vergennes

Township Zoning Board, Kent County Fair Board, and Clark Retirement Commu-nity Board. She also received the Lowell High School Dis-tinguished Alumnus award and is currently a member of the FMB board of directors.

Regionally, Wilcox has also served as a Kent County commissioner and as a board of public works commis-sioner.

The leaf Was presented on behalf of FMB State Sav-ings Bank.

Burch was born in Muskegon County and gradu-ated from Rockford High.

In 1937, he succeeded Ron Finch as Lowell's foot-ball coach.

During the war, Burch coached sports and drove bus routes as a standby driver.

In addition to coaching,

Burch was one of the first driver's education instructors, athletic director, physical edu-cation instructor, teacher and bus transportation supervisor.

Outside of school, Burch served on the Board of Trade, city council, Lowell Lions Club, and was an end man on the Showboat for 14 years.

The leaf and a contribu-tion of $500 was presented in Burch's honor on behalf of all the descendants of Carrol "Chris" Burch.

Thurtell taught kindergar-ten in the Lowell School Dis-trict for 28 1/2 years.

Thurtell, in retirement, is known for her quick paced

walks throughout Lowell and the surrounding area.

Her leaf was presented by her husband Bud and their family.

Bus inspection reveals 45-unit fleet in excellent condition By Thaddeus J. Kraus Lowell Ledger Editor

The annual surprise bus inspection by the state police left Lowell bus mechanics with little or no work.

The inspection unveiled that Lowell's fleet of 45 buses is in excellent condition. Low-ell received a mark of 1.3.

"This inspection indicates that Lowell buses are very safe," said Lowell Schools' transportation director Larry Mikulski.

This is the first time in Mikulski's eight-year tenure that Lowell has received an excellent rating. "Up to now, we've received marks of very good."

The rating system used by

inspectors is : P for passing; R for failing or must be re-paired before going on the road; and Y for passing but something was spotted that may become a problem in the future.

Lowell did not receive one R rating. However, 39 of its buses got a P rating while six received a Y rating.

"We received a yellow rating (Y) on only six of our buses," Mikulski said. "These were rated as such for rust around doors and panels. Of these six buses, five are to be replaced before the start of the 1997-98 school year."

Mikulski credits bus driv-ers and the school's mechan-ics for the excellent report.

Christian Life Center to bring New Life

Drama Company to Lowell, June 29

The New Life Drama Company is coming to the Christian Life Center, Lowell, on June 29 at 6 p.m.

Come for a night of fun, exciting, and powerful skits that will change your life! This is your chance to see a group of young people that are on fire for God and want to share with you what God is doing in these last days.

The Center is located at 3050 Alden Nash SE, 897-1100.

"Our drivers are more cognizanlofwhat they should listen fo r and look at ." Mikulski said. "When they do detect something, they re-port it immediately."

Bus garage foreman Bud Provonche has implemented a system whereby more time is spent on each bus. He has also coordinated a computer program whereby part costs are reduced.

"Mainly, the credit must go to the excellent work done by Provonche and mechanic Duane Hamilton," Mikulski said. "This rating exempli-fies their dedication to thejob of keeping our bus fleet safe for the students we transport."

Three-year science curriculum sequence offers students plenty of options By Thaddeus J. Kraus /.(>u <7/1.al^cr FaHiov

As pari of ihe newly pro-posed subjeel requiremenis.

stiklenis will need ihree years

of science lo graduale from l.owell High School.

"Hxposing sludenis to a third year of science and malh sonl> going lo help sludenis.*'

i.owell High School principal

Scon Vashaw said. V o c a i i o n a l and t r ade

schools and employers have

also ideniified ihe need lor

sludenis lo lake more malh and science in order for ihem

lo perform on the job. ••Wheiherstudentsare iio-

ing to college or not. a third year of malh and science will provide them a greater chance of succeeding." Vashaw said.

The high school/county-wide curriculum is not yet complete. It sets in place a three-year science sequence

for students. Freshmen will be enrolled

in physical science/earth sci-ence. Sophomores will be re-quired to take biology. Jun-

iors will have the option of

takine chemistry, chem con. applied physics, earth science

II or applied math/science. Jim White , director of

curriculum and instruction.

said of this year 's 201 gradu-ates. only about 40 students did not take three years of sci-ence and math.

One thing critics of the

newly proposed science cur-riculum and subject require-ments point out is thai a stu-dent can go through four years of high school without ever taking chemistry or physics.

White concurred that he would 1 ike students to be coun-

seled into taking either chem-

istry or chem con. "However. 1 think when

students' high school plans are being mapped out. the de-

cision should be a collabora-

tive one between counselors,

teachers , parents and stu-dents," While said.

The science High School Proficiency Test (HSPT) con-centrates on three areas: physi-cal, earth and life science.

"Chemistry and physics are physical sciences. The ninth-grade physical science and earth science cover chem-

istry and physics to a point whereby students can take the

HSPT in their junior year," said Lowell 's chemistry and

physics teacher Rick White. "What is taught in chemistry

is way beyond anything the HSPT will lest a student on."

W h i t e sa id the amended curriculum gives all students enough options

to fulfill their third-year sci-ence requirement and allows

them to take some th ing they're interested in.

The chemistry/physics teacher said it serves no pur-pose to make a journalism or music ma jo r s t ruggle through chemistry.

"The success will be keyed around the guidance

office. It will be up to them

to see that students inter-ested in meteorology take earth science and make sure

Chemistry aren't taking earth science," White explained.

White favors having stu-dents take more science and

math classes, but he doesn't think that means making them all take chemis t ry . "Forcing students not good in math to take chemistry is unfair to them, as well as to the students who do have strong math backgrounds."

The changes in the sci-

ence subject area improve the curriculum, according to Jim

White, because they provide

an opportunity to rebuild cur-rent thinking and content in existingcourses; they realign high school courses to better

p repare s t u d e n t s for the HSPT; and they broaden

course selection for middle level students which helps them meet the third-year re-

quirement. While added that il also

provides an opportunity for the upper echelon science students to achieve advanced

placement. As an elective in stu-

dents' senior year, they can

enroll in AP (advanced place-ment) biology and/or AP chemistry. These courses are

pre-built curriculums not de-signed by the school district.

If a student takes and passes the course, he/she would re-

ceive college credit.

Ask Ed Tips from the Consumer Electronics Manufacturers Association

(NAPS)—Dear Ed, My husband and I want

to buy a large screen TV and other components for our living room, but I'm afraid that it won't look good. We have the space, but a big, black box doesn't match my decor, and the components don't fit on our bookshelves. Is there anything we can do to make it all fit?

Signed, Karen in Buffalo, NY

Dear Karen, Some "home theater" fur-

niture is designed exactly for your needs, and can usually be purchased from the same electronics dealer you are buying your components from. This furniture can per-fectly accommodate and pro-tect your investment and can also enhance your room's ambiance. Select stores carry a wide variety of styles and colors, so you are sure to find a style that suits your decor and your wallet.

Some features to look for are cut-away holes for cabling and wiring, removable back panels so components can easily be slid in from behind.

© and proper ventilation spaces for audio/video components. It is a good idea to buy home theater furniture from your electronics dealer. One of the reasons is to assure the right "fit." Not all manufacturers have the same specifications for components, and you don't want to find out you have a 32-inch TV set and a piece of furniture that holds a 28-inch set! You also need furniture deep enough to fit components such as receivers and laser disc players.

Another reason to buy from your local retailer is that they often run package deals and/or special financ-ing offers. Also, if you buy your components and furni-ture from the same store, you don't have to wait at home for two or more sepa-rate store deliveries.

Amended 7-block proposal would trim seminar time •••• The first two weeks of school during

seminar, will be spent teaching students

about time management and study skills.

By Thaddeus J. Kraus Lowell Ledger Editor

Most often what separates successful from non-suc-cessful students is their study skills and ability to manage time.

"As educators. I think we get caught up in what we expect students to learn and not enough with how kids learn." Lowell High School principal Scott Vashaw said.

Under the amended 7-block schedule proposal that will go before the board of education for a vote in July, the first two weeks of school, during seminar, will be spent teaching all students about time management and study skills.

"We want to assure that students are maximizing the use of their time." Vashaw said. "Some sludenis don't know how to best use their lime and some just make bad decisions."

If the amended 7-block proposal is passed, sludenis would also attend seminar (55 minutes) two days a week instead of the five they did this past school year. The other

three days, the time slot from 1:15 to 2:10, would be used for labs.

In an evaluation conducted by the Kent Intermediate School District and Grand Rapids Community College, stu-dents said they felt they used their seminar time effectively.

Only 29 percent of the teachers polled felt students were using seminar effectively.

The evaluation's design was to measure increased student learning, variety of instructional delivery, student prepared-ness, effective use of seminar, effective use of time, and perception of the 7* block.

With I being "no" and 5 being "yes " teachers and students responded to the following questions:

Was there less lecture time? Students gave a mark of 2.3 while teachers were at 3.1.

Was there more lime spent working with partners or in groups? Sludenis gave a mark of 3.9 and teachers a 3.6.

Was there more classroom activity? Sludenis and teachers both gave a mark of 3.7

Was there more work with technology? Sludenis 2.9; teachers 2.8.

Was there more individual attention? Students 3.3; teach-ers 3.7.

Did sludenis come lo class more prepared? Students 3.5; teachers 2.9.

Of the parents who were evaluated, 74 percent said that block scheduling was more beneficial in terms of their children doing more homework and completing it.

Of the 44 staff members who were asked to fill out the evaluation, 41 did. The study sampled 50 percent of the parents; 27 percent of those returned the evaluation.

"In my visits to seminar periods this past year, I saw students making excellent use of the time," Vashaw said. "However, with the proposed changes, I think next year

will be better." The amended 7-block provides students with an all-

block schedule. "The two seminar periods will put teachers and stu-

dents together in a different block of lime lo conduct activities most appropriate," Vashaw explained.

The Lowell High School principal added that enrich-

ment activities will be coordinated wilhin each class as

opposed lo creating special classes. "We will offer some enrichment activities during semi-

nar, before and after school or on Saturday," he said. Vashaw concluded that ultimately it would be belter to

offer students seven courses as opposed to six. "We con-tinue lo look at ways to move lo 8-block al low or no cost"

Federal Armored Truck Inc. rewards honesty and integrity L o w e l l ' s Te r ry Ab le

demonstrated that honesty

and integrity are more than

just words - they are values to live by.

Able, an employee for Valley City Linen, was ser-

vicing an account at Van

Andle Arena when he ob-served a driver for Federal Armored Truck Inc. drop a bag at a side street curb.

"He then got into his truck and drove away," Able said. "I grabbed the bag, put it in my car and chased him down."

The Lowell resident said he pulled up along side the Armored truck at the inter-section of Ionia and Louis.

"I got the driver's atten-tion and then held the bag up so he could see it," Able said.

Able never gave any

thought to looking into the bag. "I never looked into the bag. 1 just looked to see where the truck turned and then I followed him."

It turned out the bag held $37,500.

In appreciation of Abie's

honest and integrity in return-

ing the money. Federal Ar-

mored Truck, sent him a check of appreciation in the amount

of $500.
