HOTOFFTHEPRESSESI With last week's announcement of Leslie Uggams as the

The brochures and posters are available at That Special Place, 215 W. Main Street and include an advance ticket order blank for

' anyone wishing to take advantage of h . Why not send one to your out-of-town friends? .

Harold Zeigler, Jr . , president of Harold Zeigler Ford, Inc. of Lowell, has announced his ac-quisition of the Lincoln-Mercury dealership in Kalamazoo. The Lincoln-Mercury dealership is one of the largest out-state dealerships in Michigan and will now be known as Harold Zeigler Lincoln-Mercury.

Gear Up For Showboat Now that Leslie Uggams*

1979 appearance at the Show-boat is a certainty, there 's a beehive of activity around Low-ell these days.

Leslie Uggams, talented black singer and outstanding televi-sion personalty, has been sign-ed as the Lowell Showboat featured star for the July 23-28 dates on the new "Robert E. Lee", which is now being built with completion date set July 1.

Ms. Uggams replacles Delia Reese as the star performer. Several weeks aga .Ma. Reese asked to cancel BR 1979 con-tract because of a movie offer. She will be in Europe the entire month of July for the movie role. Delia Reese was instrumental in the Lowell Showboat committee signing Leslie Uggams.

The cancellation of Delia Reese did delay the planning and preliminary work for the Showboat production a trifle. "We had to wait until we signed another star, but we are only about one week behind our previous schedules," said Jim Hall, a member of the Showboat Board of Directors. "But we were able to concentrate on building our new boat_along with mapping out details that we know will be coming u p . "

While the individual ticket sales did slow down, the Show-boat bus tour committee was busy. "Many of the groups contacted knew we would come up with a super entertaining star and put their orders in for early tickets," explains Bev Hall, a member of the commit-tee. "The bus tours are really coming in and we have been pulling tickets at a fast clip. In fact, when many of the groups heard we were having Leslie Uggams, they were surprised and happy. Right now we are ahead with bus tour reserva-tions over last year , " added Bev.

In signing Leslie Uggams, Lowell Showboat has landed one of the most respected and talented entertainers in show business. She has had engage-ments in all of the leading night and supper clubs in the country, has played leads in television productions along with being the headline attraction on many of the variety shows.

After blossoming into a varie-ty entertainer, Leslie's big break came in 1969 when CBS liked her pilot-production and aired "The Leslie Uggams Show," with emphasis on com-edy.

At the same time CBS cancel-led the "Smothers Brothers Comedy" and replaced it with Ms. Uggams' production. She was matched on Sunday eve-nings against NBC's popular "Bonanza" series and was able to hold her own in the ratings.

Ms. Uggams was one of the s ta r pe r fo rmers in ABC's "Roots" and then followed with one of the lead parts in "Back-stairs at the White House ." Leslie was one of the featured stars in the recent Bob Hope shqwjrom England.

"Advance tickets may be p u f ' chased at the Lowell Showboat Ticket Office. Box 56. Lowell. Tickets for Tuesday through Thursday productions are $3. $4. $5.50 and $7 Friday and Saturday night they are $4, $5. $7, $8./ Monday night (July 23) tickets are $2 and $5 with the latter being in the center sec-tions.

A peaceful trip in a hot-air balloon over Ada last Wednes-day evening ended in a flash as :he burner on the craft went out depositing Wymond Wilds of Grand Rapids on two primary power lines, each carrying 4.800 volts.

Wilds suffered only minor burns as he crouched in the balloon's basket. The snapped power lines left 900 homes without power for about an hour.

Wilds was attempting to land shortly after - 8 p.m. when a slight wind snuffed the pilot light on the craft 's propane burner. The burner heats air which keeps the balloon aloft. Wilds was unable to rekindle the burner and crashed, land-ing behind a home at 77 Honey Creek Ave. SE, Ada. The flight originated from a field near Orchard View Church of God, 2777 Leffingwell Ave. NE, Grand Rapids.

Philip Nunn of Comstock Park was testing a new camera and snapping pictures of the balloon when the crash occurred. "Sud-denly that scene of tranquility exploded right in front of m e , " Nunn said. "The electrical arc-ing around the balloon's gon-dola was so intense that I couldn't see if Wilds was even still there."

It took Consumers Power Co. workmen about an hour to get electricity back on to the homes in the area.

Recoastractlon In CMHan Won Second Marriage

Ed. Netot This Is an tatradac-tory artkle fsr a foar part series on the aniqae prebisais that a second Btarriage CM create.

end in divorce. Currently re-searchers now project that 50 percent of al! marriages per-formed in the 1970's will fail. There is no doubt that divorce

has become an integral part of our culture.

Surprisingly, despi te the climbing divorce rate, over 90 percent of all adults in the United States will marry and 80 percent of those divorced will choose to marry a second time.

When second marriages do occur, individuals are brought together In an emotional situa-tion quite unlike their first marital relationship. A type of double jeopardy exists In that the emotions and thinking pat-

terns that were part of the first marriage are combined with the new situations and the thinking styles of the new marriage. When children are involved in a second marriage, they, alio, bring with them the emotional framework of their previous family.

It is difficult enough in to-day's complex society to be natural parents with natural children in a first marriage. It is even more difficult to be a stepmother, a stepfather or stepchild in a family unit. Yet just as second marriages are on the Increase, so are the number of children who will become •stepchildren'. Unfortunately

the word 'step* has taken on a meaning in our society of some-one of secondary Importance.

How, then, do step parents cope with their stepchildren? How do step children handle the emotioual concerns of the new marriage along with a new step parent? This is the Introductory article of a four part series that will attempt to include the emotional impact of two adults trying to gain what previously eluded them—marriage for a life time—and to examine soci-ety's question, "What about the children"? Next week the prob-lems and needs of the stepfather will be discussed.—Doaglas H-Us.

The next time you pass a magazine rack, choose a maga-zine at random. Chances are that your selection will have an article in It about divorce. Researchers, oplnlonlsts, data analysts, and novelists have produced divorce-related fea-tures at a saturating level. Today almost every adult can quote a divorce statistic, wheth-er it be the percent of marriages that faU or the odds for marriage failure.

This emphasis on divorce data has prompted many mental health/social work personnel to focus their efforts on preventing or at least slowing down the escalating rate of divorce. To date, little progress has been made. In fact, some recent studies Indicate an Increase In the national divorce rate. It has been estimated previously that 40 percent of all marriages will

ways to alleviate a growing problem. This epidemic of un-sightly piles of household refuse and waste materials Is an attrac-tion to dogs, rats, raccoons and files.

In addition, such problems are violations of certain public health laws. All counties have regulations which forbid allow-ing rubbish to pile up; for e x a m p l e , t h e Ken t Coun ty Housirg Regulation, Section 802, specifically states, " . . . exterior property areas shall be maintained in a d e a n and sanitary condition free from any accumulation of rubbish or gar-b a g e . "

Upon receipt of a valid com-

Elalnt, a notice of violation will e sent to any person who falls

'to keep his or her premises clean. This notice will 'state that unless substantial compliance is achieved, legal action will fol-low. Persons subject to legal action will be issued a court summons (appearance ticket).

Accumulated refuse may be taken to a landfill or picked up by a rubbish hauler. In some areas, "cleanup weeks" are sponsored by townships, vil-lages and lake associations. If no activity is planned, residents can certainly get together and start their own cleanups. All it takes is joint cooperation.

And. behold, 1 am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou g o e s t . . . for I will not leave thee . . . (Genesis 28:15).

Younger brothers and sisters can be trying if they insist on following the older youngsters around. My sister. Opal, four years younger than 1, was my tag-a-long. It was very disgust-ing when she insisted on going everywhere and doing every-thing 1 did. She stuck to me like a leech, and try as 1 might, there were times I simply could not shake her.

Usually we do not appreciate having others follow us every-where and copy everything we do. However, there are times when we appreciate the close association of others. If we are traveling in strange and precari-ous places, it is a comfortable feeling to have a reliable guide close by. If we are going through lonely territory, it is a blessing to have companion-ship.

The Lord is One who sticketh closer than a brother, but His companionship is never trouble-some. He is a helper in time of need. When we must travel through unknown territory. He is our guide. He is a comfort in time of loneliness and sorrow. We need only to trust Him, for " H e will not leave us a lone."

Prayer: O God. how wonder-ful it is to know Thou art with me and wilt never forsake me! Thou wilt keep my hand

Thine moment by moment. Amen. Never a weakness that He doth

not feel. Never a sickness that He

cannot heal; Moment by moment, in woe or

in weal. Jesus, my Saviour, abides

with me still. D. W. Whittle

Discussing death is often

difficult, yet a death in the

family may create problems

for survivors which may be

lessened by discussion and

preplanning. Funeral and

burial arrangements are

important and should be

cons idered openly and

choose to pre-arrange and

perhaps pre-finance a fu-

ors after death occurs.

Graed VaUey Ledger - Wedneeday, May 23, 1979 • Page 7

By Roger Brown

About a year ago. Stan Johnson, owner of Riverside Fireplace Shoppe. showed me his new pocket calculator. It was a liquid crystal job. about the size of a pack of'cigarettes but only a quarter of an inch thick. It would perform ail types of math functions including keys for square root and percent. On top of all this, it was a watch with digital read-out for time, day and date, worked as a stopwstch accurate to one tenth of a second and even had an alarm beeper that could be programmed-to remind you of an appointment.

Now 1 thought that this was just about the greatest thing since the hot lather machine and dropped a hint to my wife about getting one for my birthday or Christmas. Sure enough, my birthday rolled around a few months later, and there was my little calculator that would do just about anything but tie my shoes.

Unlike many gifts that I have received, 1 carried and used my new calculator constantly. It worked out especially well since I had quit smoking and now had a vacant shirt pocket in which to carry the

. darned thing. This brings us to a couple of weeks ago. 1 stopped at Riverside

Fireplace Shoppe while out selling ads for the paper. Stan had just ho, ted a barrel from the old Showboat out of the river and up onto a little deck that hangs out over the river behind his store. In the process, his calculator slipped out of his shirt pocket and into about

four feet of water. A week later. Stan's calculator sat on the co f i t e r . He had fished

it out of the river with a pair of log tongs tied to the ends of two lengths of rope. The cover of the battery compartment had been lost in the ordeal, but with a new set of batteries secured with some tape the thing works perfectly.

I thought that was a pretty good testimony to the durability of these little calculators, until about a week ago. Casey, our four-year-old son. somehow managed to drop mine out of the back window of our van while we were clipping down a paved road at about fifty-five miles per hour. I can't believe the little devil had guts enough to tell me what he had done, but he did. and we found it right away.

The case is dented up something terrible and the bottoms of the figures are a little faint, but it works perfectly Now that 's a real testimony to the durability of these little calculators.

It 's too bad that our calculators aren't Timex products, otherwise Stan and I might get a chance to star in a John Cameron Swayze

commercial. . , • • •

Following my plea in this column last week for volunteers to help clean the Showboat Amphitheatre. I'd like to thank those that did show up. We all worked very hard, and about six hours and fifteen dump truck loads after we started, the mess was all cleaned out of

there.

A genuine tip of the hat goes out to: Brian Westcott. Keith Sypher. Mike Raymor. Ron Raymor. Barb Curtis, Jim Hall, Bev Hall, Gark Vredenburg, Leah Vredenburg and Andy, Ray Quada, Ron Hoist. Dean Collins. Jay Vczino and the City of Lowell for furnishing the dump truck.

Free Services From Health Dept. No appointments necessary

and services are free of charge. Now where can you get a deal like that?

At Lowell City Hall each first *• and third Thursday of the month between 1 snd 4 p.m. Kent County Public Health Nurse Jackie Jones. R.N., is on duty to serve anyone in the area in need of her services.

The Ken t County Publ ic

Health Agency offers several services to anyone in the area at the City Hall location; Immuni-zations for children and adults; Tuberculin skin testing; blood pressure check; counseling re-garding health needs and refer-rals; counseling in nutrition and diets; preliminary urine testing.

These services are tax sup-ported and free of charge to all Kent County residents.

Dear Editor. My family and 1 are in an

organiza t ion called National Campers and Hikers Associa-tion. One of the sidelines of NCHA is called Disaster Assist-ance Team (DAT). We are a group of people within NCHA that are trained in the basic skills of first aid, fire fighting, CPR, etc.—anything that can be used in an emergency situation —such as a tornado. We are available to help the police, fire d e p a r t m e n t and any o ther emergency service.

Two weeks ago we had a very pleasant experience in your city. Through the help of your fine police department, fire depart-ment. and Bud's Ambulance, we had a training camp out at the Fair Grounds. The City Manager. Mr. Quada. and the director of Public Works. Mr. Sidliano. were most cooperative in helping us set up this camp out.

There weren't very many campers there—only 11. but the> training we received was out-standing. The people of your city can be proud that they have such fine men and women serv-ing your community.

Mr. Earl Tefft District Director DAT

NCHA Rockford. MI 49341

Dear Editor: On May 3rd. Miss O'Grady's

and Mrs. Roth's fifth grade class from Riverside Elementary made a visit to The Grand Valley Ledger office. Twenty-five stu-dents. one teacher, one student teacher, one paraprofessional. and one parent volunteer were greeted at the door by Mr. Brown.

The tour started with a brief explanation of the front office and the type of things done there. Next we were taken to the back where Mr. Brown told the different steps gone through to set up a newspaper page. We were all surprised to learn they use a modern method called the off-set process for printing in-stead of the old-fashioned print-ing press we had discussed.

All of us left the Ledger that day filled with much more knowledge about the newspaper

business than when we came. It was a fascinating field trip and we'd like to thank Mr. Brown and the other workers at the Ledger for making it possible for us to visit.

Dear Editor: Congratulations are in order

for the Runc iman-Rive r s ide

PTO on their fine, well-run Historic Home Tour of Lowell last Saturday.

The homes were beautiful. The guides were informative. The hosts and hostesses were gracious.

Comments from those of us who took advantage of the tour were all complimentary.

We are hoping that there will be another Home Tour next year!

On Tuesday, May IS, s group of twelve represented Lowell Senior Neighbors Center st the fifth sAnual Senior Power Day in Lansing. More than 6,000 joined to present the needs of older people to state and federal officials.

Protests were voiced against proposed cuts in the nutrition program and medicaid benefits. Congress has voted to reduce federal funds for Michigan's senior citizen nutrition project by S93,000. If funds are not restored by October, there will be 7,000 less meals available to Michigan residents. The local center participates in this pio-gram. and would probably have to limit the number of mea l r served if the present allocation of funds is not maintained.

Gov. William G. MUliken. State Senator William Faust, Speaker Bobby Crim and Sena-tor Donald Riegle spoke, ex-pressing their recognition of the hardships caused older persons by Inflation. All speakers assur-ed the audience of their support of the "Senior Platform."

The platform supports contin-uing Medicaid coverage for dental, vision and hearing prob-lems; maintaining meals pro-gram; consumer protection for all ages, with Insurance Com-missioner having power over rates; continuing present ener-gy relief program; excluding Social Security as income for property tax rebates; converting empty schools into senior hous-ing and multi-purpose serior centers; passing legislation hat will make auto, home and health insurance available at a price the elderly can afford to pay.

Area veteranTof World War 1 will be honored at the Center on Wednesday, May 30. Dinner at noon will be followed by a program presented by Pris Mc-Donald, of Spring Lake, and Salley Andrews, Grand Rapids, members of Story Spinners. On Friday, June 1, a fea trip is planned to Festival '79 in Grand Rapids. Reservations for both events may be made at the Center, 897-5250. Peogle over 60 are reminded that dinner is served at noon, Monday thru Friday; donations are accepted. The Center will be closed on May 28.

illness in his family, the article notes, helped to give him an understanding of family insur-ance needs and hss enabled him to do a more effective job.

He also attributes his contin-ued success to the support of his

family and community, and to the introduction of property and casualty insurance to his sales portfolio.

Mike and his wife, Phyllis, have two children and they live at 430 N. Monroe St.
