Cooped Up In

Fine Style... "Uncle Carl" Behnke. form-

erly of the Cascade-Lowell area, keeps his prize hen in a swank pad that features full electric heat, air-conditioning, double-hung curtained windows, wall-to wall carpeting and her very own hi-fi set.

It's called a chicken coop and. believe it or not. that 's exactly what it is.

" U a d c Car l"

Behnke. a 73-year-old retiree, performs wizardry in the tiny workshop tucked behind his mobile home in Lake Odessa, building such whimsical struc-tures as balconied birdhouses,

ornate play houses and a gliding swing.

But one of his masterpieces is the chicken coop he transformed into the facsimile of a S40.000 ranch house. It 's got everything from a doorbell that rings to a wood burning fireplace. Even the hi-fi set is for real.

" A f t e r bu i ld ing coun t less dollhouses. I lit upon the idea of

•putting little chickens in one for my gr^ndkids." Behnke said.

He turned the chicken coop into fancy new living quarters for a banty hen and her four chicks. The chicks were evicted after they matured into red roosters because of the added wear and tear around the house.

But the hen chose to nest in the luxurious abode again this year. "A regular chicken coop would offend her dignity now." Behnke insisted.

Behnke has become known as "Uncle Carl, the man with the golden hear t" because of the many handcrafted gift toys he has donated to the handicapped children's institutions in the State of Michigan for many years.

It all started some 35 years ago when Behnke who then resided in Cascade, and worked as a safety engineer, picked up his grandfather 's tools to build a doll house fen- the sick daughter of a friend.

"There must be thousands of guys like me who are retired and enjoy woodworking," he said. "There ' s still a lot of misery out there that the gift of a toy can help alleviate, and the kids especially love things they can play with. Putting a smile on one face or many faces has always been my biggest reward for the things I have made , " he added.

Ada Youth Accused

Of Store Burglary A .seventeen-year -o ld Ada

youth has demanded examina-tion in Kent County's b3rd District Court on charges of buglary and safecracking and was ordered to post bond of S25.000.

Court Magistrate Gerard H. Shouse said the bond was set high because the alleged crime occurred while Todd P. Kirby was free on SS00 bond pending sentence in Circuit Court on a charge of entry without break-ing. He plead guilty to that charge.

The Ada youth has been accused of the June 10 safe-cracking and burlgary of the Forest Hills Shop-Rite Store at 4668 Cascade Road. S.E.

Ada Board Approves 1.25 Mills

The Ada Township Board has approved 1.25 mills for 5 years to pay for the proposed $100.-000 fire station to be built on one acre on Knapp Street three-quarters of a mile west of Honey Creek Avenue NE; and for added fire and police protection, says Supervisor John H. For-shar.

Vote on the two millages will be on September 13 which was set by the board late in May.

Forshar has pointed out that the northern half of the town-ship is without a fire station and the township has grown to such an extent that that half needs greater fire and police protec-tion. which, in itself, is increa?. ing in cost.

The proposed fire station will have two truck bays, an apparatus room, a hose tower, a meeting room to be used for gatherings and voting, restroom facilities, and a storage and utility room.

A blacktop offstreet parking area will have spaces for 12 vehicles.

The new station has been designed by George F. Herrity J r . . associated with Alexander Grant, both registered archi-tects in Ada.

Ada voters also will ballot September 13 on increasing the township board from five to seven members.—Dave

Land Purchase To

Expand Ada Park Deed to 11.5 acres adjacent to

the north end of Chief Hazy Goud Park. Ada Township, has been received by the Kent County R ad and Park Commis-sion, says William Wight, coun-ty park superintendent.

The land was bought from Mrs. Avis Pettis for $9,000 and the addition expands the park to 23 acres. Wight states. • The original part of the park is long and narrow, but the new portion widens out from the north end, due to the Grand River swinging westerly away from Pettis Avenue, explains the superintendent.

"This change in the direction of the river makes the addition almost funnel-shaped," he ob-serves.

The new part of the park has quite a few trees. In tfie fall, a crew will prepare some of the grounds for picnic tables next summer.

The land does not include Mrs. Pettis" house in which she is still living.—Dave

Fund Campaign Gets Approval

Nugenfs

Holstelns

Classified Terry and Jean Nugent of

Lowell report that their Regis-tered Holsteins were classified for body conformation on June 23. The scoring was done by an official classifier of Holstein-Friesian Association of Amer-ica. Brattleboro. Vermont.

Dairymen enrolled in this * herd improvement program re-ceive a numerical score for each animal evaluated. The True-Type Holstein represents theo-retical perfection and has a value of 100 points on the classification score card. Each animal is scored, receiving a rating of Excellent (90 points or more). Very Good (85 through 89). Good Plus (80 thru 84). Good (75 through 79). Fair (65 through 74) or Poor (64 points or below).

Including animals previously scored, the Nugentdale herd has 5 Very Goods' and 23 Good Pluses.

To provide a more complete image of each animal, the classifier also uses comparative terms to describe twelve major parts of the animal's physical characteristics. This "word pic-ture" serves as a guide for planning a breeding program to improve the herd.

The information from the classification of the herd will be summarized by the Holstein Association on its high speed computer. Returned to the breeder, these reports provide useful information for selection in the herd. The data is also published and available as re-ference for the herd improve-ment programs of Holstein dairymen everywhere.

Water Safety

offering a "Coward Swim" class for adults. Class meets from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Mondays. Thursdays and Fridays. If inter-ested call the " Y " pool at 897-7115.

Each year vast numbers of persons drown that could have been saved if someone would have known how to help. Would you know what to do if someone were in trouble?

Would you know how to react quickly and safely in an emer-gency situation?

Basic rescue and water safety (formerly J. lifesaving) and Advanced lifesaving courses are now being organized at the Lowell YMCA Pool.

Whether or not you know how to swim there is a Water Safety class for you at the YMCA. To register or for more information call the YMCA Pool at 897-7115.

Charles R. King, represent-ing a newly formed "Citizens for Extra Curricular Activities" group, spoke before Lowell Board of Education members Monday night asking that the group be given permission to solicit funds to restore activities cut from the senior high and middle school program for the coming year.

King estimated the need at $40,000 to restore the athletic schedule to both schools as well as a complete band and vocal music program, forensics, de-bate. high school play. FFA. senior high annual, and possibly add girls' basketball to the middle school and girls' volley-ball and softball to the high school.

Stating that the funding will come from individuals, clubs, organizations, etc.. King added that an account with over SI .000 in it had already been opened at the Lowell State Savings Band and that the campaign was only awaiting board approval to get underway in earnest. He also requested that a committee composed of three local citizens be allowed to act as liaison between the board, school ̂ ad-ministration and the community to disseminate information to the general public.

Reacting favorably to King's request, board members again stated their belief that the educational values derived from athletics and other extra-curric-ular activities are extremely important but that they still cannot justify spending board money to support the activities at the expense of classroom instructional staffing and mat-erials.

Board President Roger Rob-erts stipulated that the funds collected should be deposited in

Harold Mettemlek of Harri-son Street, Alto, a member of the Lowell Area School Board for 29 years, got a standing ovation from those In attend-ance at the Board of Education meeting Jane 27, as he gave his farewell speech.

the general fund and earmarked for extra curricular activities and that the board would con-tinue to have complete control of activities so that they will be educationally sound, comply with aM laws and serve a broad range of students and not special interest groups.

Board members also agreed that at least 75 percent of the $40,000 goal would have to be reached by August 15 in order to put the activities back into the curriculum. Roberts then gave the citizens group an added boost by turning over half of his annual school board paycheck he received earlier in the meet-ing to the fund.

Board members next okayed the move of the central office from the Bushnell building,. where it is presently located to the Middle School. A budget of

$42,000 was established from the remaining building and site funds for remodeling and equip-ping the administrative space while an additional $41,000 from the same fund was okayed to complete Middle School quad arrangements.

The latter expense was built into the fund from the day the building was completed but not expended since the board felt the building should operate for a period of time before the staff would really know just how the " o p e n " concept should best be housed.

This now leaves a balance of $103,430 in the fund which will be used to pay the Michigan School Bond Loan. This means the district will stop borrow .ng 11 years earlier than was first estimated when construction be-gan.

Harold Metternick, retiring member of the board after 29 years of continuous service to the Alto and Lowell area, spoke briefly at what was his final board meeting and the over-100 people attending the meeting gave him a standing ovation.

The meeting did. however end on a somewhat jarring note when two members of the audience spoke against the board's decision on administra-tive space and its willingness to go along with citizens' attempt to restore extracurricular activi-ties.

A third member of the aud-ience closed the discussion when he stated, "1 think we went through the hassels before the election and we have listen-ed to all the negatives. We don't need negatives in the commun-ity now. What we need is to all pull together for the kids' sake ."

.Dear Editor: Lowell Chamber of Commerce

asks Lowell people to use the business in Lowell. I would like to go one further and say 'Keep the business here.'"

The East Kent Community Center employs 35 people. Un-less the dcy fathers do some-thing beside block the opening of the Home Center, the Center will go to another community.

Everyone agrees Lowell has a pa rk ing p rob lem on Main Street. One person has blown a small incident way out of pro-portion—that of a rash teenager who supposedly took a 20c bag of chips and supposedly didn't pay for them. She says she did pay for them.

This one individual is no longer at the Center but a businessman used this to go to other businessmen and instill fear that everyone employed at this Center be kept from using the Lowell businesses and rais-ed a panic over all the business they could lose by clients using this Public Parking they feel belongs to them, and their business.

Businessmen benefit from these 35 employees plus the 20 or more teenagers employed by the summer parks programs. The Center rents this business place, pays for utilities and taxes, here.

Hundreds of people benefit from the services provided by these employees who furnish services and transportation.

Should a few impose their will on the rest of us—we could lose the Center to another Commun-ity whose city lathers see the value of having these programs and jobs there. 1 hope you won't let this happen.

Sincerely. Mrs. Dorothy Wubben

Editor't Note: The following poem waa sub-

mitted by Mrs. Jack Stevens of Lowell. It Is authored by Pat Lopetrone. and waa forwarded to Mrs. Stevens by some friends la Ohio.

Happy Birthday, America Happy birthday, America

On this occasion superfine For I'm thankful for my freedom

And the right to speak my mind.

You're the greatest for what you stand

And for what you are, And because you're g r a n d -

Invincible by far! You're the greatest because

you're frank. Honest and you're f a i r -

All this 1 can thank And strongly will declare!

You're the greatest because you symbolize

The whole world throughout

Because in you is recognized A heart that 's noble, kind and

stout. You're the greatest for the

chance you give To every human soul—

Where man. through honest labor

Can make happiness a goal. You're the greatest for your

generosity— You've allowed everyone to

s h a r e -To YOU. beloved America

They came from EVERY-WHERE!

You're the greatest for reaching the moon

And placing our flag on its site.

And crossing the ocean with just ONE motor

When Lindberg made his flight.

For the impossible you can do— Of course, the miraculous

takes you longer. But still you are the greatest

For no other nation is strong-er.

You ' re the g r e a t e s t — y e s . America

With a straight " A " score And we'll always be backing you

When you're threatened into cruel war.

Every ounce of loyalty With faith we will spread

To keep you there on top by a margin way ahead!

So you can keep your White House

And ALL that you possess— The flag and its colors

And the whole beloved U.S. For I'm grateful for men like

Jefferson And Hancock and ALL of the

rest Who assembled the Constitu-

tion ^ T c make YOU the best!

So that now. on your birthday Of two centuries unfurled

You're still number one In the whole wide world!

And your sweetheart can be proud of you.

(1 mean Miss Liberty) Because we ALL love you.

America— Not—just only ME!

Summertime in the woods can be a period of great enjoyment for those who are prepared for mosquitoes, deerflies and other pests. Although these insects have their own ecological niche to fulfill, it is still difficult to tolerate them as they carry you off for lunch.

One way to avoid many of these pests is to wear dark clothing, many insects are at-tracted by bright colors. Bees are attracted to floral prints and perfumes containing floral ex-tracts. Some insects find their prey by aromas so it is to your advantage to keep clean.

Deerflies can be discouraged to some extent by wearing a hat. They become frustrated by their inability to penetrate and leave. Mosquitos are probably the most common insect pest. It often seems as though the supply of these critters is inex-haustible, even in the dryest weather. The larva of the mos-quito must have water to survive but even a heavy dew or a tiny pocket of standing water is enough to create a " h a t c h . "

There are many commercial insect repellents that are effec-tive in discouraging mosquitos although they may attract deer-flies. It is best to check for the percentage of active ingredient when purchasing repellents as this is subject to much variation. The active ingredient, may be 7 to 99% of the repellent.

Whenever you take a short walk in the woods it pays to turn around and take a look at what you will be seeing on your return trip. Many people get turned around in the forest and miss out on what could other-wise be an enjoyable experi-ence. Take a camera, you might see an animal or plant that you want to capture, on film. There are many field guides available that are designed so that even the novice botanist or bird watcher can easily identify what is being seen.

As the summer season pro-gresses you will find that the outdoors will be changing. New flowers will emerge as summer works its way into fall a few months from now.—Steve Har-rington.
