Monday Is Dolor Night

Showboat Destroyed

Storm Rips Through Lowell At precisely 4:30 a.m. on

Saturday. August 19. a tornado, or at the very least, an incredi-bly strong wind struck at the very heart of Lowell. As the sun rose, residents stared in disbe-lief at their beloved Showboat which lay in splinters a t o p j t s own dock and stage. The huge steeple that has graced the Methodist Church for over one hundred years lay in the church yard. Everywhere lay mammoth shade trees, limbs, electrical wires, anA debris of every description.

Miraculously . . . thankfully . . . virtually no injuries were reported, the only exception known to the Ledger were minor cuts and bruises suffered by the occupants of a mobile home which was tipped over by the storm. Everywhere were close calls, if this tree had tipped that way. or if the steeple had toppled the other way or if they hadn't gotten up to dose the windows. Nearly everyone In the section of the dty battered worst by the storm begins their recount of the ordeal with "thank God . .

The people of Lowell may have been lucky, but the proper* t y d i d o o t f a w s o w a U - T h O f t a * le most expensive bit of tfestrnc- *• tion dealt out by the storm w a s / of course the famous Lowell Showboat. According to boat maintenance chairman J im Hall, the boat must have been lifted to a considerable height (15-20 feet) and then flipped upside-down to rest on the concrete stage. Needless to say. the Showboat Is In splinters and If replaced, will have to be done so board-by-board. Initial cost e s t imates a new Showboat range from fifty to sixty thous-and ddlars . The Showboat is not insured because the cost of Insurance Is far too great to be practical.

But already, many steps are being taken for the replacement of the Showboat, A workday Ls scheduled for this Saturday, August 26 at 8 a.m. City trucks have been lined up to haul away tKe debris and anyone able to, is urged to come and help. Please bring crowbar, hammer, broom, gloves, etc.

Don Rochdeau. president of Attwood Corporation announced on Monday, that Attwood will be donating 52.000 toward re-pladng the Showboat. Roche-leau accepted chairmanship of a committee to seek donations from area manufacturers and other businesses, also to be used for riepladng the historic boat.

Other fund raising campaigns are already being planned and news of some of these will appear in future Ledgers.

Many Showboat board mem-bers however, are not so opti-mistic. knowing from past ex-perience how difficult it Is to raise such large sums of money. Several Showboat supporters doubt If a new boat can be financed and built In time for next year's program.

The Lowdl United Methodist Church was also hard-hit as Its landmark steeple was toppled by the storm. With many volun-teer hands working all day Saturday, the gapping hole in the church tower was sealed off and the church was readied for a 5 p.m. wedding ceremony. Nor-mal services were also held on Sunday.

To try to list any more of the damage specifically would be futile as the destruction was so extensive. A rough description of the storm's path would show it moving west to east and angling slightly to the south with the worst damage com-mencing west of Richard's Park, then across the Flat River to the Showboat then in te rsec t ing Main Street in the vidnity of Lipperts, then following Main

The Lowell Showboat which less than a month ago waa steaming around Cattail Bend in all her glory, waa rednced to the above pictured of rabble by the wiadatorm. The light towers at either end of the stage Incredibly escaped being damaged and moat have been

mlaaed only by Inches when the debris from the Showboat was buried past. A volunteer work day Is schedaled for Saturday, Angoat 26, to clean up the mess.

(M-21) east out of town for at least a mile causing severe damage to either side of the road. The swath of destruction left by the storm ranged from one to two city blocks wide in most places.

There Is considerable contro-versy as to whether the storm was in fact a tornado or merely a terrific straight line wind. One would be hard pressed to find a Lowdl resident who would call it any thing but a tornado while chief meterologist for the Na-tional Weather Service in Grand Rapids insists that It was straight wind.

Whatever It was, the damage was done and repair and clean-up operations began around the dty even before dawn. Lowell's police, fire, D.P.W. and scores of vdunteers put In a long weekend clearing the streets of trees, power lines, debris and the cu"ous onlookers. Volun-t*.;.*i other municipalities also moed in the clean-up operation. The Ledger is aware of at least these: the Kent Co. Road Commission, Kent Co. Sher i f f ' s Dept . , Muir Fire Dept., Bowne Twp. Fire Dept., and the Michigan State Police.

The curious who had swarm-ed into town from all over the state, became such a problem that at about noon. City Mana-ger, Ray Quada shut off M-21 from Montcalm Avenue to Hud-son Street. All M-21 traffic was routed north to Fallasburg and then south again with no one allowed Into the heavily damag-ed area.

At the time the storm^hit, electrical power was lost to about 90 percent of the dty. On the west side where damage was slight, power was restored in about an hour. The east side of the dty was a much different story, many businesses and residences did not have their power restored until Sunday.

The Lowell Cut-Rate (Gary's Quality Meats) had the Ada Beef Company haul away all of their perishable meat so that it wouldn't spoil. Many other bus-inesses on Main Street simply

did not open Saturday—or at least closed early.

The storm seemed to bring out the best of most residents as everywhere were people helping however they could. There were reports of a couple from Detroit who are avid Showboat support-

ers, driving all the way to Lowell to do whatever they could to help. It was reported to the Ledger that Lucchesi's Pizza House cooked and donated foor to the volunteer clean-up crews. And Lowell sounded like a lumber camp with chain saws

buzzing everywhere as neighbor helped neighbor with clearing the brush, limbs and trees.

As bad as It was. the whole ordeal was probably best sum-med up by Paul Erickson, owner of Paul's Showboat Restaurant, when he said, "we were lucky."

Ripping the steeple off from the First United Methodist Church of Lowell waa one of the moat sensational bits of destruction that the wind dealt out. Hie belfry portion of the steeple to more than 100 years old, but the very top section of the structure waa erected In 1967.

Congressman Brown To Be In Alto

Area Youths Compete

Third District Congressman Garry Brown will be in Alto next Wednesday (August 30) to meet with constituents.

The Schoolcraft Republican said he is devoting much of the August congressional recess to helping people straighten out problems they are having with the federal government and to discussing issues with interest-ed groups and individuals.

Brown said he hopes to be as accessible as possible through use of a mobile office. He has scheduled 35 mobile office stops throughout the district between now and Labor Day. including the one next Wednesday in Alto.

The mobile office will be parked downtown, in the busi-ness district between 3:45 and 4:30 p.m.

"One of my highest priorities as this district's elected repre-sentative in Washington is to help people who are having problems with the huge federal bureaucracy." Brown said. " I would encourage anyone who is having a problem with Social Security, the Veteran's Admin-istration, the armed forces, the Small Business Administration or any of the other various

agencies to bring it to my attention when I 'm in Alto next Wednesday."

He urged anyone who cannot meet with him Wednesday to address any correspondence to him at his district offices: Room 2-1-36 Federal Center, 74 N. Washington, Battle Creek, or Room 112 Federal Building, 410 Michigan Avenue. Kalamazoo, or to contact him directly at 2446 Rayburn House Office Building, Washington D.C. 20515.

. . . the Lord upholdeth the righteous (Psalm 37:17).

Our teakettle begins to whis-tle shrilly when the water reach-es the heating point. That is the signal to remove it from the heat.

God has promised the Chris-tian that no temptation will be too great for him to bear. And God has a way of giving warning to the enemy when His child has taken all he can stand. He says. "That is enough! 'My child has reached the limit of his endur-ance. Now let him be ! " '

We have been given the five senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell, and feeling. The enemy of our soul uses these avenues through which to annoy and tempt us. Often our fellowmen are unaware of our trials. But this does not mean we go unnoticed. Human friends may not have the faintest idea that

wc are passing through rough waters, but the Heavenly Father knows. He knows exactly how much we can bear. He has set up a limit and allows the enemy to try us—to a point. When we reach the "boiling point" of our endurance. He steps in and rescues us from "the heat of trial,"

Prayer: Heavenly Father , Thou has not promised that I would be exempted from temp-tation and trial, but Thou hast promised to help me in my hour of need. When I reach the limit of my endurance. Thou wilt step in and rescue me from " the heat of trial." Amen. When thro' fiery trials thy path-

way shall lie. My grace, all-sufficient, shall

be thy supply. The flames shall not hurt thee;

I only design Thy dross to consume, and

thy gold to refine. George Keith

EGG SWALLOWER A Seattle man is said to have

established a world record of downing 50 raw eggs in an hour, gulping two at a time after breaking them in a cup and stirring. Without stirring, he said the whole egg would stick in his throat, while biting a whole yolk woujd literally cause it to explode in his mouth.

Comment: Can't vouch for the quality of this type of publicity stunt, but it does get eggs "in the news."

11 Girls Attend Volleybal! f sn»o

Grand VaOey Ledger - Wedneeday, Aegaat 23, 1978 • Page 5

Eleven girls from Sa.anac High School, along with their coach. attcnc!.-d the Olymoic Development Volleyball Camp held last week /«n Western Michigan University's campus in Kalamazoo.

The coaching staff was excel-lent. the majority being prev-ious Olympic players who are not professionals, so the girls were able to learn a tremendous amount in their week at camp.

On the first day everyone was tested and placed according to their playing ability. DeAnn Eddy and Debbie Stuart tested high enough to be placed with more advanced players. They did a good job and received excellent reports from their coaches. The others tested well also and were placed in a group of 112 girls. Total attendance at the camp was 237 players and 24 coaches. This group was then divided into teams of 14 each. At the end of the week, an Ail-Star team of six girls was chosen from the 112. Saranac

lacing two girls, n and Debbie

Sen. .nat Ail-Star team. T i u igh the girls worked

lurd, attested to by the pres-ence of sore muscles, they had fun and several plan to attend again next summer.

This year's trip was made possible by merchants in Sara-nac and Lowell who donated articles for a raffle, the VFW in Lowell who opened their Hall for a dance and the "Country Pride" band who donated their time and excellent music so funds could be raised. Most of all. however, the girls and their parents worked super hard and raised nearly the full amount needed to attend camp.

Thank you to everyone who helped send a "k id" to camp.

We should have a good team this winter. Come watch us play.

Grand Valley Ledger • Wednesday, Angait 23, 1978 • Page 8

Food Service Program The 5-owell Area Schools Food Service Program will begin serving

good, nutritious meals Che first day of school, Tuesday, September 5, 1978 In all schools. We will again invite the St. Mary's School to participate in the Bushnell Cafeteria.

The price of lunches will stay the same until further notice. $.35 for students in the Alto. Bushnell. Runciman and St. Mary's Schools. S.40 for students in the Middle and Senior High School. Adults will again be S.60 and all milk will be $.05 except for the milk included with the Type A lunches.

Students may purchase lunch tickets every morning in their rooms at the Alto and Runciman buildings.. Tickets may be purchased in the Bushnell hallway and in the Middle School Cafetorium. Senior High students will pay when they go through the lunch lines.

Free and reduced price lunches are available upon PROPER APPLICATION, to families who"qualify tor the program. A letter to the parents and application is included in this publication. Applications will also be available at all of the school offices. Parents who think they may be eligible are urged to get their application in to Mrs. Marilyn Bovee before Friday. August 25, 1978, so that thev can be advised whether their children are eligible before the first day of school. Families MUST HAVE RECEIVED a letter of approval for free lunches from the school or they must send lunch money to school with their children every day until they do.

We wish to inform the parents of the Lowell Area School students that we do not use any mixes or pre-prepared main dishes. We make all our own bread, dinner rolls, cookies, cakes, casseroles, etc., from "scratch" in our own kitchens. We are .cquired to give the elementary school students fruits and vegetables every day. The lunches in the Lowell Area Schools include salads and fresh fruits at least three times each week. The Middle School and Senior High School students may choose any three of the five components (protein, bread, vegetables, fruit, milk) of the Type A lunch for the same price. This eliminates plate waste. We also have an a-la-carte line and snack bar combination at the Senior High School. There, the students may, if they wish, pick out different, individually priced items. This, of course, costs more than the unit priced Type A lunch which includes milk. We sell ice cream, milk, orange drink, cookies and fresh fruit at our snack bar, which will be open before school in the morning, during the lunch period and after school. In addition, at noon we sell hot sandwiches, pizzas and tossed salads.

There are no junk foods, in the form of carbonated drinks, candy or potato chips, sold in the Lowell Area Schools. We serve 2300 Type A lunches every day and another 100 a-la-carte meals besides our snack bar items.

Parents having any questions about the Hot Lunch Program should call Mrs. Marilyn Bovee at 897-8415.

have not registered should do so immediately. Our noon take-home and pick-up routes cannot be completed until our bus student registration is complete. Kindergarteners attending the morning session will ride regu-lar buses and will be picked up at the regular stops and they will be brought home on a Kindergarten run to a location near to their home as possible. Afternoon K's will then be picked up near their home and delivered to the regular stops after school. Please see that your Kindergartener has his/ her name, address and bus number on him/her before leav-ing home. This helps us identify what bus they ride in case they forget. READINESS ROOM

That bus will leave the garage at approximately 11 a.m. to arrive at school by 12:15.

Dear Editor: It is with true emotionalism

that I write this farewell letter of "thanks" to the Ledger staff, my friends and neighbors.

Each and everyone of you have been an important part of my life for nearly 25 years, and 1 will truly miss every aspect of the newspaper world and my association with the community of Lowell, and the people.

Like pioneers, my family seeks a new horizon in the White Cloud area, and I can only hope that the way will be paved with such thoughtfulness, consideration and kindness, that we've known in Lowell.

All of the farewell remem-brances bestowed upon me and the wishes of best luck, meant so much, and they will always remain as treasured memories.

SENIORS... There is still time to schedule

your senior portrait sitting

prior to the beginning of the

school year.

Have it taken now while you

still have your tan and

before school activities make

appointments difficult.

As I close this chapter of my life. I can only say "thanks" to all, especially to Roger and Terese Brown, Maggie Mac-Naughton, and the Lowell Wo-men of the Moose, Chapter 1388.

May good health and happi-ness prevail for all until our paths of life cross again.

Editor: I wish to compliment the light

crews here and from out of town on the wonderful job they did on restoring our power after the Big Storm. Many thanks again to them.

Dear Editor: The King Memorial Pool's

1978 season comes to a close on August 26. It has been a highly successful season, and it took an awful lot of community involvement to make it so successful. Thank you's go out to the following groups and people:

The Rotary Club, Jaycees, and Lions Club for painting the King Memorial Building; the Lowell Arts Council for the fantastic graphic design on the building: the City of Lowell for donating the paint; George Dey and Ken Smith for expert advice and maintenance of the build ing; a hard working group of CETA workers who kept the inside and outside of the build-ing "Spic and span"; YMCA swim instructrors Dave DeNolf, Jennifer Patrick and Sue Storm-zand for their quality instruc-tion, and finally all of the swimmers themselves for fol-lowing the rules and making this program so successful. It's nice to see so many different groups combine their efforts. Lowell is extremely fortunate.

Sincerely yours, Bobbie White

YMCA Pool & Program Dir.

Dear Grand Valley Ledger, 1 am writing in regard to the

indifferent treatment I feel was given to the Women's Softball Tournament sponsored by the Lowell Y. I attended the final game of the tournament, held on Sunday, August 13. It was a well played game between Low-ell State Savings and Keiser Kitchen, with Keisers team winning. No one was there to take pictrures of the winning team, in fact there was no one there to present the trophies.

It did my heart good to see the many women teams from Lowell competing this year. It was not long ago when the Lowell wo-men were barely able to come up with just one team. 1, in no way wish to discredit the Y. In fact several of the young women competing were products of the Y's summer Softball programs ot the past few years.

Let's give their young women the credit they deserve. Let's put a little ceremony in these tournaments.

Thank you, Marilyn Sitzer

Dear Chairman: We attended the Showboat

July 26th, which you probably recalled was rainy.

We wish to compliment your "crew" on the wonderful job they did in moving all the equipment from the Landing to the High School. Everything was done in record time and for us it was an experience to see everyone of the men take over as if it were an everyday occurance.

This was our 5th year and we certainly enjoyed every minute, even clapping our hands as the "Imaginary Showboat" came into the gym.

Sincerely Mr. & Mrs. John Bigda

To Whom It May Concern: In our Showboat program we

purchased this past Saturday is a reservation form for 1979's Showboat. If I reserve my seats now when do I pay for them? 1 would like 'o have reservations but don't want to put out money until I know who the star attraction will be.

May 1 please take a few more minutes of your time to say that my husband, our friends and I enjoyed Vic Damone immense-ly, he is a fantastic performer! Your choice was excellent and just thought you should know about it.

Incidentally, what are all the

price ranges? Thank you,

Lillian Beebe

Just a few thoughts concerning the storm . . . NEW SHOWBOAT PROGRAM????

Before the City Manager shut off Main Street last Saturday, Lowell was bumper-to-bumper traffic everywhere. This town was so full of people. (Mostly curious on-lookers) that Showboat Week traffic seems like a drop-in-the-bucket by comparison.

Pardon the pun but, the Showboat board probably missed the boat by not charging admission into the amphitheatre to see the damage. Hence, my idea for a new Showboat program.

When and if the Showboat is re-built, it should be constructed in panels that could easily be knocked down and reassembled. Then every night, the house would be packed at about ten bucks • head and the Showboat would be blown up right before their eyes with a small charge of dynamite. The next day. crews would come in, reassemble it so that it could be blown up again. All of this could probably be done cheaper than one week of today's high priced talent acts and if last weekend's traffic is any indication of the kind of crowds it would draw, then again pardon the pun, but the Showboat could really CLEAN-UP with such an act. THERE'S ONLY ONE LEFT

Up until a month ago. Lowell had three very old landmark steeples in town. In early July, the steeple on St. Mary's Cathlic Church was so severely damaged by lightning that it had to be demolished.

U.st weekend the magnificent steeple atop the United Methodist Church was toppled by the wind. Which leaves the steeple on the Lowell Congregational Church as the only steeple of its type left in the city.

The parishioners of the Congregational Church have got to be thinking one of two things. Either they must be doing something right as the Almighty has seen fit to leave their steeple standing, or else they are wondering when their steeple is going to go.

And if it does go. how will it go? We've already lost one by lightning and one by wind, so what ' s left? Well, it would sure be one heckuva flood. WHAT IF, WHAT IF, WHAT IF . . .

I 've heard a lot of comments around town regarding "what if the storm bad hit during the day instead of 4:30 in the morning." Such as . . .

What if you were canoeing on the Flat River when that baby came roaring across? If that wind was strong enough to throw the Showboat up onto the stage, then you and your canoe would probably have wound up somewhere over by Lansing.

What if the storm hit this afternoon with Kent County 4-H Fair in progress? The skies would be full of prize chickens and the ferris wheel would probably be rolled into Ionia County.

Enough of this trash, it 's time to get back to work.

The wind •maabed through the large plate glass windows ta the front of LoweU Aotomodve, 113 Lafayette Si. and not to b e stopped II proceeded oat the back of the building after knocking d j w a the concrete block wall. Inside the boll ding, damage was minimal with only one rack being knocked over. Ironically, the wall that was kaecked down was very recently painted with a multi-color sign.

The large metal awning on the front of Llppert 's Pharmacy was severely damaged by the wksd s s the above photo indicates. Charles Upper t , owner of the store and president of the LoweU Showboat was vacationing oot of town when the storm hit bat has been appraised of the damages by phone.

Awarded Contract

Grand Rapids Asphalt Co., low bidder of four at $62,622, has been awarded the contract for blacktopping Alden Nash Avenue between Foreman St. and M-21 by. the Kent County Road Commission. Homer Pres-ton, KCRC secretary reports.

L.&S. Construction Co. of Alto is widening, graveling and installing drainage structures along this part of Alden Nash Avenue at a cost of $192,176.

Work on the primary county road is slated to be completed by Oct. 20.

Total cost of the improvement

is $254.798.-Dave Barnes.

InHM Work

Under Way Preliminary work on the S7,-

439,183 widening of the East Beltline between just north of Cascade Road and Lake East* brook BoulevAd to four lanes with left-turn slots is well under wsy.

Gas mains along the 3.2-mile* long stretch are being relocated to a new depth, clearing of brush and trees is taking place, utility lines are being shifted to make way for the new highway and sand has replaced a muck hole a short distance south of the East Beltline and Cascade

Road SE. Some clearing of brush for the

new southbound lanes south of Burton Street has taken place, and a " p a t h " where the new northbound lanes will be laid has been bulldozed just south of Cascade Road.

A major phase of the project will be the removal of such muck directly east of Reeds Lake to be replaced with proper fill and the building of a complicated drain-age unit at this site.

Work will continue until Nov. 15 when it will stop for two months and then will resume Jan. 15 if there are no delays. L.W. Edison Co. of Grand Rapids is the contractor.

The project is slated to be completed Nov. 15, 1979. — Dave Barnes.

Reunion Honors Ruby Avery

On Saturday, August 5, form-er pupils who si tended the Star School in Bowne Township dur-ing the years 1913-16 returned to the home of Olive and Lawrence Bieri for the sixth year to honor their teacher of those years, Ruby Willette Av-ery.

Follwing a picnic dinner on the pleasant lawn the usual pleasantries of renewing long time friendships, relating inter-esting experiences and sharing letters from those unable to attend caused the time to pass rapidly.

A cake prepared by the hostess in honor of the Avery's 61st wedding anniversary was served before all returned to their various homes. A hope to return in 1979 was expressed by all as they departed.
