Membership cards must be sent at the SAME TIME as the dues remittance. Otherwise, discrepancies occur between chapter and office records, and the niunes of the members cannot be entered on the NE'/ISLETTER mailing list, 2. Checks for dues should be made out to HADASSAH, INC. 3. Dues to the national office must be remitted on the following basis only: Annual Dues First-Half Payment Second-Half P~ent $2.75 1.50 1 . 25 l'lhen a member pays semi-annual dues for the first time in the fiscal year, the national office must receive $1.50 1 together with a first-half card, regardless of the time when this payment is made, This is equally true when a member joins the chapter late in the Hadassah year and pays $2.00 to round out that year, - the chapter sends the national office $1.50 and retains 50¢ for administration ex,,enses. Second-half dues should be sent in only for those members who have already paid first-half dues. (For your convenience we will provide you upon request with a supply of membership remittance blank forms,) 4. The proper annual or semi-annual cards should accompany your remittance.

Octoocr 8,1943 To American Affairs Che.irlllan: We are ~riting to you to clear up eome confusion l'lhich seema to have arisen in connection with o.lr new (Be.cit the A.ttack) campaign to sell 1~r bonda and etampa for "Tanke, Jeeps , and Guns". As you doubtleao !mow, Hadaaeah chap.. tera mve been conducting an ilr »-made. camoaign ;vhich ;;as initiated on the occasion of the ::.econd War L<18n Drive, Th.1.t cam'Daign is no., completed - all chapters r:hich could do so have already subscribed for a bomber to be named for the chapter, When the Third ,iar Loan Drive was annrunced, i.e felt it the du.ty of Radasaah to make another ai&1ificant contrl. bution to our country' a y,ar effort. This ti.me we decided to subscribe to "Tanka, Jeeps , and Guns" in order to make it possible for every chapter , larce or small, to participate. ~e realized that many chapters would Join their cooi::.unitiea for the Third War Loan Drive , 'but we AAe11 trAt oven after this drive ''Ills over, it would still be possible, and certainly desirable, to have l!adaasah Chapter3 continue the sale of bonds and a tamps. Al though we started this cacrpaign dlen tho Third 'olu' Loan Drive 1<11& launched ~c set no time limit on it and~ did not expect to complete it during the drive, We hopo, ho·.,evor, at the Convention to have reports from our chapters that they have joined the campaign.

NOAH NARDI JACQUELl>I& N'ELSON GILDA RICHTER I am writing to you as Hadassab's Chairman for the Youth Commission and as Vice-Chairman of the American Zionist Youth Commission, in connection with the YOONG JUDAEAll magazine, published by National Young Judaea. Radassah has como to reoognize that thousands of Jewish children throughout the United States, whether they live in towns, hamlets or cities , have a deep need to receive a publioation which writes about them ns Je'l.s, keeps them informed of Jewish ourrcnt affairs in this country , in Palestine and throughout the world, and brings to them the mecsagc of Jewish creativity, past and present . For th3 Hadsssah mother nnd equally for any Jowish mother who wants to keep her children in touch with Jewish lifo, and to supplement the many non-Jewish publioations for young people, 1Thioh though fine and worthwhile, do not answer their special Jewish need, the YOU11G JUDABAN magazine will serve this purpoee. Edited by Miss Deborah Pessin, author of "Giants on Earth•, and Dr. Aharon Kessler, Executivo Director of Young Judaea, it is of high educational quality, and its language and style are exoollent for children. It neither talks down to the children nor propagandizes, but tells its message honestly a.~d artistioally. It is enthusiastioally received by the ohildr~n themselves . Hadassab, as you kno~, is greatly interested in furthering the Jewish and Zionist education of the boys and girls in the United States, both from Had.assa.h and nonHadassah homes . We are therefor.-. cagor to have as mc.ny children as possiblo receive the YOUNG JUDAEAll magazine , as an impor,ant part of their Jewish eduoat1on . ~e.y I th.rc:f'oro request that you ask either your Youth Commission chairman or youth aoti,,1 ties chairman or tho Senior-Junior chairman of your chapter to conduct a campaign for the YOUNG JUDAEAN magazine in your community and get at least ten subscriptions. The subscription re.to is $1 . per year. Through such a subsoription many a Jewish ohild may become so inspired by an article, a story, or a oartoon, that he may be influenoed to find his place among the Jewish people . Uay I suggest that the magazine would make an eT.oellent birthday or holiday gift . With Hadassah greetings, ...._, _Si~o~ rely, ~ ~~ ~~ .

Unlike those periods of its early history, the City no longer possesses large tracts of untouched vacant land ready for immediate development. Many of the founding industries, typically classified as "heavy" in orientation, have since closed. Housing construction has moderated. The need to attract external investment dollars is at its highest, yet strong competition from local and regional neighbors tend to dilute available funds. ' I I • l , ... I L ! For many communities, the above scenario would signal a time of frustration. However, that is not the case with Muskegon Heights. To the contrary! The City has recognized each issue as a challenge. And each challenge as an opportunity. The City has focused its energies and resources in a forward, pro-active direction. Chief among those resources are the City's residents who are best described as dedicated, concerned, and loyal. This document, the City of Muskegon eight's Master Plan, is future. It is one of the many steps to be undertaken as the Muskegon Heights Master Plan represents a basic land use decisions are made concerning future development. The Plan, future development. It is a statement of commitment. evidence of the City's concern for its City strives towards excellence. The document to be used as a guide as however, is more than just a guide to The Plan does not stand alone, but rather, is one of a series of documents oriented to the City's growth. These documents include: The Sanford Street Redevelopment Plan (198V - a comprehensive assessment and guide to the redevelopment of the Sanford and Broadway area. The Muskegon Heights Housing Study (1986) - a comprehensive analysis of the City's housing needs. f. I • ' ri '' L The Muskegon Parks and Recreation Plan (1986) - a detailed assessment and guide to the City's recreational needs. The Muskegon Heights Tax Increment Financing and Development Plan (1986) - a detailed planning guide oriented to detailing future projects within the downtown area. ,- The Woodcliffe Site Development Study and Plan (1989) - a comprehensive analysis of the Woodcliffe residential area pursuant to its uses for future single-family residential development. ' The Muskegon Heights Housing Assistance Plan (1988) - a three-year guide addressing housing needs with particular emphasis on the needs of low and moderate income residents. . - 2 - �The Muskegon Heights Zoning Ordinance (1990) - a regulatory document which serves as the basic tool for implementing the Master Plan. The Ordinance provides very detailed information pursuant to uses permitted within the (zoning) districts of the City. The document also provides detail on developmental regulations and standards. The above documents should be consulted as one examines and employs the Master Plan. In many Instances they contain extensive program detail not found within the Plan. The Plan is a flexible document, capable of being amended as new information is obtained and/or as desired by the citizenry of the community. However, change should be viewed with caution and initiated only after sufficient research suggests that change is warranted. :. - 3 - �! ' Location and Physical Character �LOCATION AND PHYSICAL CHARACTER Regional Setting The City is located In the heart of the Muskegon-Muskegon Heights Standard Metropolitan Area. It Is surrounded by the communities of Muskegon, Norton Shores, and Muskegon Township (Figure 1). It lies within forty minutes of vehicular travel time to Grand Rapids and approximately three and onehalf hours to either Detroit or Chicago. Muskegon Heights has direct access to Interstate 96 and Is less than one mile to U.S. 31. Physical Character . -, As with its adjoining neighbors, the City's physiography has been primarily determined by it association with Lake Michigan. It topography and soil types are related to the development and influence of Lake Michigan. Much of the original topography, vegetation, and water resources have been developed or modified over the years. The City is largely composed of the sandy soils of the broad upland plain lying east of the sand dune formations along Lake Michigan (Figure 2). Paralleling Little Black Cree, low land soils are primarily muck. . These areas are subject to flooding and are poor for intensive development. A large area of poorly drained muck soils overlaying a sand layer occurs where the Little Black Creek joins Mona Lake. Side slopes above these muck areas along Little Black Creek are of sandy soils of poor fertility and subject to erosion. Areas adjacent to Mona Lake consist of moderately well-drained sandy soils, with a generally high water table. Vegetation Muskegon Heights is a mature urban community with heavy concentrations of residential, commercial, and industrial activities. Areas of undisturbed vegetation do not exist except in isolated locations along Little Black Creek and Mona Lake. Vegetation here is primarily wetland species and includes cattails, bulrushes, alder, elm, and red maple. Some of the smaller areas have been retained in a nature preserve along Little Black Creek. The majority of the vegetation in the City consists of deciduous street tree plantings or individual oak tree remnants scattered throughout the uplands. Such plantings off er much character to the City, particular1y in residential locations. -5- �16 ,..,. .a, ~ a, 10 6 2 _£ (!R•---~,r--r-i:r--T --r-- 2 6 22 26 M 411 P. J .

Floodplain GENERALIZED SOILS MAP �I Topography Muskegon Heights is part of a broad, low-lying, sandy plain lying east of the Lake Michigan Shoreline (Figure 3). The topography of the City is generally level, varying not more than five to ten feet in vertical elevation. I ' At the southernmost boundary formed by Mona Lake, the topography drops approximately forty to forty-five feet to form a low, narrow strip of land around Mona Lake. This area lies only a few feet above the level of the lake. The most dramatic feature of the City is in the southeast corner where the Little Black Creek cuts through the City to its outlet at Mona Lake. Here the elevation slopes to form a stream valley with adjacent areas. This area encompasses one of the last undeveloped areas of the City. The flood plain follows a narrow belt of low-lying areas along the Little Black Creek and includes almost all of the City property located south of Seaway Drive. Currently, a significant part of this land is in public ownership, most in the form of park land or open space. Water Resources The dominant water resources of Muskegon Heights is Mona Lake. It is one of the three major inland lakes, all connected to Lake Michigan, found in Muskegon County. Mona Lake is a long, narrow body of water approximately four miles in length. It is connected to Lake Michigan by a channel navigable by small water craft only. The City possesses approximately 1,400 lineal feet of lake frontage on Mona Lake . All of it is in public ownership as Mona Lake Park. It provides a public boat launch facility on the lake as well as public beach frontage . The launch ramp serves as a major entry point to the lake for tourists and local residents. Climate Muskegon Heights is on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, and its climate is moderate by the lake. The cooling effect of the lake in spring slows the growth of vegetation until the dangers of frost are past. The warming effect in the fall acts to modify the initial outbreaks of a cold winter. Summer is pleasant because of cool lake breezes. Winter temperatures are generally moderate although average snowfall is heavy. The growing season is 160-170 days. The average precipitation is 31 .5 inches, average snowfall is 97.2 inches, and annual average temperature is 47.0 degrees Fahrenheit. Highest temperatures occur in July (average of 70.0 degrees F.) while the coolest in January (23.3 degrees F.). • 8 • �GENERAL TOPOGRAPHIC MAP �, I .: . .' I Population �POPULATION f I . Table 1 provides a comparison of the City's population for the 1910 to 1980 period. Muskegon Heights reached a peak population of 19,552 in 1960. Its current population Is 14,611. This represents a 25 percent decrease, or an annual loss since 1960 of approximately 1.2 percent.

In 1957 It was •suggested that a reasonable and conservative target. .. is a growth to 25,400 In the City." In 1969 a population of 21,000 persons was anticipated by 1975, although it was noted that this population level would remain constant from that point in time. It is significant to the City that these earlier expectations have not been realized. ,.. .. ' ,- 1 Departures from expected events are usually caused by a combination of circumstances, some of which are controlled by the community, some not. Certainly the economy of Michigan and the Country as a whole have experienced some significant setbacks during the past few years, and Muskegon Heights has shared in those setbacks. Another unexpected event was a national trend of fewer children per household. Muskegon Heights has experienced this trend dropping from 3.26 persons per household In 1970 to 2.86 in 1980. Age Profile ,-, I l Reflecting the national trend, the median age of Muskegon Heights residents has been getting older. Between 1970 and 1980, the median age rose from 24.7 years to 26.2 years. The median age In the City of 1980 was slightly younger than the 28.9 years of Muskegon count overall. However, the median age of 33.9 years for the Caucasian segment of the population was considerably older than the 22.4 years of the Black population. The distinction between races is most noteworthy in the 65 and over age group. While 20% of the Caucasian population had attained that age, only 8% of the Black residents were over 64. The high percentage of elderly Whites generally reflects residents who have lived in the City for many years; their Initial entry the result of employment and housing opportunities. The City's declining population base and changing racial mix, combined with the aging characteristics of White residents, indicates that the elderly Whites are not being replaced by younger white residents. ' . By comparing areas within the City using Census was 4 to 5 years younger in the two tracts located percentage of residents in the two northern Tracts north of Sherman compared to 15% south of that Tract information, it is shown that the median age north of Sherman (see Figure 4). Concurrently, the ages 65 years and older was also lower, being 9% street. • 13 • �In general, the age distribution of Muskegon Heights is indicative of the Muskegon area (Table 4) .

As the change to a more According to several national studies, the quality of education is a major factor used by business leaders in determining where to locate a new facility. Additionally, a quality school system is an Important link in attracting and retaining residents. Community and education leaders in Muskegon Heights, therefore, are justified in their desire and concern about upgrading the educational system. service oriented economy continues, education levels will become even more crucial. The percentage of high school graduates in Muskegon Heights is lower than the surrounding area or the state. The 1980 U.S. Census reported that just 47.6% of those persons 25 years of age or older were graduates. compared to 65.3% In Muskegon County overall and 68% statewide. Those comparisons may partially account for the fact that there are many more jobs in the City than employed residents. ' j . I r • The "perceived" quality of the school system appears to discourage some potential new residents from locating in Muskegon Heights and encourages others to move when their children reach school age. With its close ties to the Community's quality of life, improvements in education and training can help the City capture a share of the area's future growth. (Note: This document does not attempt to assess the educational quality of the Muskegon Height's school system. However, during the data collection phase, the authors noted sufficient, negative, school related references by those being interviewed to warrant discussion of this matter. It is the feeling of the authors that the majority of those providing a negative opinion regarding educational quality based their opinions on perception versus factual data. Unfortunately, perceptions, if left unchecked, may be accepted as reality. It is suggested that the City encourage the local school system to enhance public relations efforts in this matter.)

Employment and Income I , �INCOME AND EMPLOYMENT PROFILE The income and employment levels of Muskegon Heights residents are lower than the surrounding communities or the Muskegon County totals. The City's per capita income ($4,583) and median household income ($10,523) levels are 28% and 35% less than those of Muskegon County respectively. Moreover, 25.9% of the population had incomes below the poverty level, compared to figures of 12.3% for Muskegon County and 10.4% for the state.

The lowest incomes were reported in Census Tract 11 ($8,147), with the highest in Census Tract 14.02 in the City's southwest side {$11,958). However, the deviations between the percent of families living [ . I . below the poverty level varied greatly between Census Tracts. While Census Tracts 14.01 and 14.02 south of Broadway had 15.1 and 7.6 percent living below the 1980 poverty level, the three northern Census Tracts were much higher. Census Tract 12 had 23% of its families living below poverty level, while Census Tracts 11 and 13 had high rates of 33.3% and 30.5% (Figure 5). i I '. I ( Employment opportunities in the area have decreased in the last ten years resulting in relatively high unemployment rates. The unemployment rates for the City was 18.3% in 1980, much higher than the County rate of 10.2% and the 9.1% statewide rate. Current rates fluctuate between 10% to 15%. To counter declining industrial employment, the Muskegon area has begun vigorous marketing efforts in an attempt to attract new industry. Muskegon Heights has initiated similar efforts through the West Heights Development project as well as the redevelopment of other properties for industrial and commercial use. - 18 • �. ! 1 " ~1;=;=;: 'i i : f --~ -~,-,.;•. . . . . . .~ ...

An expanding economy Increases the likelihood for new businesses to locate in Muskegon Heights, but growth outside the community also provides an important employment base. '' '' The high percentage of Muskegon Heights residents who work outside the City is evidence of the importance of the regional economy. Almost 75% of the City's residents who were employed in 1980 worked outside of Muskegon Heights. The majority of those worked In the City of Muskegon, but Norton Shores, Grand Haven, and other areas in Muskegon and Ottawa Counties also provided employment (see Table 6).

Eight-two percent (82%) of the persons working in Muskegon Heights lived elsewhere. The Cities of Muskegon and Norton Shores combined to provide 40% of Muskegon Heights employee force, while other areas of Muskegon County supplied another 41%. Notably, while 3,982 Muskegon Heights residents were reported as working, there were 5,381 jobs within the City. The high percentage of •imported· employment gives the City one mechanism to market its image. The impression these employees have of the community will be revealed to their neighbors, friends, and colleagues. Instilling a good impression in these persons is one of the best marketing tools available. Information on the types of occupations is another tool for comparison with other communities. Consistent with a national trend, the Muskegon area is experiencing a shift of employment from the manufacturing sector to service-oriented professions. Of the wage and salary employment reported in 1980, however, the manufacturing sector still comprised the largest share (see Table 7). - 20 - �l Table 7 Employment by Sector Muskegon Heights, Michigan Muskegon Heights (' i ·.

This means that about 40% of the homes requiring rehabilitation have had at least some work COf!lpleted. Therefore, substantial progress has been made toward improving overall housing conditions (Table 10 and Figure 6). Approximately ten demolitions of hazardous abandoned structures have occurred on average each year since 1980. By mid-1989, only 49 dilapidated houses remain of the 121 identified in 1985. Efforts at attracting new housing development into the City have been limited in recent history. While little land exists for new, large scale, residential subdivisions, there are a considerable number of vacant lots that are available for scattered, infill type development. It is estimated that 300-325 lots, totally some 45-50 acres, may be available for such construction. Presently, efforts are underway to infill vacant lots with new homes.

New construction refers to If the City's population trend continues to decline, project housing need (pursuant to actual number of units) will likewise decline (Table 11). Table 11 also illustrates another trend. This is, an increase in the number of multi-family units with a corresponding decrease in single family (including owner and renter occupied). l .! Of the 5,104 occupied housing units in the City, 63% are owner occupied and 37% are rental units. The City wide owner/rental split compares favorably with percentages in Muskegon (59-41) and Roosevelt Park (64-36); while Norton Shores (87-13) and Muskegon County overall (76-24) have a greater share of owner occupancy. the City has 6.0% of its total housing units vacant. Within the City, the owner/renter split varies substantially between Census Tracts (Figure 4). With an owner-occupied rate of 77%, home in Census Tract 14.02 displayed a trait similar to the average in Muskegon County. And, though the turnover rate in that area is greater than the community wide average, the properties are generally well maintained. A 1981 windshield survey of structural conditions noted that the fewest deficiencies were in Census Tract 14.02. This was reconfirmed through 1986 and 1988 field investigations of area neighborhoods. The turnover rate in Tract 14.02 is most likely explained by the high percentage of persons in the 25-34 year old age bracket, which traditionally includes most first-time home buyers. That group ·comprised 17% of the tract's residents , compared to 12% in the rest of the City. Since this area also is characterized by the highest incomes in the City, and homes priced in the City, and homes priced at the lower end of the scale, it appears that many residents probably move on when they can afford their second, more expensive home. • 26 - .. �Census Tract 12 also had a higher percentage of owner-occupied homes (67%) than the City's average. The tenure of 1980 residents in this area was relatively stable as 67% had lived in the same house In 1975. A financial commitment to this area is also apparent when comparing the median monthly I ; ' I l - ' i ' i__ • ir ', '' mortgage rate of $284 to the remaining areas In the comrrunlty where monthly costs were $50 less. The median value of homes In this tract ($16,500) was slightly higher than the Citywide average of $16,100. In Census Tract 13, 58% of the homes are owner-occupied. The fact that over 30% of the residents of that tract had Incomes below poverty level In 1980 partially explains the high number of structures found to have major deficiencies or to be substandard in the 1982 survey. Again, recent field checks confirm the 1982 data.

The year 2005 estimates should be viewed as very tentative. Recent and projected City-wide development could result in a leveling of the 1995 to 2000 counts. Census Tracts 14.01 and 11 have the lowest percentages of owner-occupied housing, 51% and 41% respectively. There is a major difference, however, in the percentage of families living below the poverty level. While Tract 14.01 has the lowest percentage (15.1%), Tract 11 had the highest (33.3%). The majority of housing stock in both Tracts had some deficiencies in 1982, and this continues to be the case. - 27 • �r'< . I , i ,• l , , ii I .

Over 60% of the owner-OCQJpied housing stock in the City had a value of less than $20,000 in 1980; and over 40% of the residences were constructed before 1940 (Table 12). , ' l ' I ' .

But the lack of housing starts since 1970 has also occurred Citywide, with six units either constructed or committed within the last six years. In fact, most of the residential construction in the last seventeen years occurred in 1970-71. The actual number of housing units in the City has declined by 128 units since 1970 (Table 11 ). The reason for this is that more units were demolished than built during that time. While the downward trend in housing stock has been severe, it has not been as dramatic as the population loss. I• As with low owner-occupied values, a similar situation exists with rental housing (Table 14). The median rent in 1980 was lower in Muskegon Heights than in any of the surrounding communities. Almost 90% of the units rented for less than $200, compared to 85% in Muskegon, 53% in Norton Shores, 8% in Roosevelt Park, and 77% overall In Muskegon County. The number of persons living in each rental unit in the City was also higher than in the surrounding area. On the positive side, the rental vacancy rate of 6.1% in the City was among the lowest in the County. - 29 - �r- Table 13 Contract Rents In 1980 Muskegon Heights, Michigan I I ' Less than More than Median $100 $200 Contract Rent Per Unit Persons Vacancy Rate MUSKEGON HEIGHTS 280 14.9% 211 11 .2% $147 2.41 6.1% Muskegon 864 13.9% 913 14.7% $155 1.18 7.7% 66 2 6.5% 0.3% 483 47.5% 530 92.0% $209 8.7% $281 1.91 2.11 11.9% 1,595 12.0% 3,030 22.7% $159 2.01 7.1% Norton Shores Roosevelt Park ; ' i Muskegon County Source: U.S.Census, 1980 Median rental rates and renter characteristics vary within the Muskegon Heights Census Tracts (Table 14). Median rent in Tract 14.01 was the lowest ($126), but the median number of persons per unit was also the lowest (1.65). Those figures may reflect the conversion of the upper floor of many frame homes to small apartments. The median rent ($151) and number of persons living in each unit (3.33) was the highest in Tract 13. Those numbers are influenced by East Park Manor, a public multiple-family housing development which houses many families with children.

Nationally, real estate professionals assume that homeowners can afford - 30 - �(" r a house whose value ranges from 2 • 2.5 times annual household income. Renters are generally assumed to be able to allocate 25% of their monthly income to housing. Data gathered in the 1980 U.S. Census indicates that, while the 25% rate for renters holds true, homeowners generally owned homes worth 1-1/2 times their annual Incomes. The lower expenditures for homeowners are partially explained by the inflation of the 1970's and the cost of living in West Michigan compared to other areas. Home Ownership I \ i.. ,J I ... In 1980, the value of a typical home In Muskegon County was 150% of the owner's annual income. That translates to monthly expenditures of about 20% of their income for housing Within Muskegon Heights, the typical home was valued at 125% of the owner's annual income The low rate Is partially attributable to the housing surplus due to the population loss of the last 15-25 years The difference in those rates may indicate that some homeowners' incomes are sufficient to support more expensive housing For example, the incomes in Census Tract 14.01 are the highest in the City, but the typical home is valued at less than the owner's annual income Therefore, some residents in the City's southwest area can afford more expensive housing Only in Census Tract 13, with the City's lowest income levels, do people own homes valued at 150% or more of their annual income (Table 15).

Residents In the northern tracts are more captive; they often cannot afford to live elsewhere But residents In the City's southern area exhibit both the financial ability and historic pattern of moving onward The stability of the Community could be enhanced by encouraging these people to stay In the City Retaining these residents, and attracting new homeowners, will require the continued maintenance and/or upgrading of the physical appearance of the southern neighborhoods. !

Source: 1980 U.S. Census �Rental Housing ' : . ' I Housing expenditures for renters in Muskegon Heights Is higher than the accepted rate of 25% of household Income The typical renter In the City spends almost one-third of his income in housing (See Table 17) For renters in Census Tract 12, the housing expenditure is almost 50% of annual income The expenditure was over 50% for households In the three northern Census Tracts with incomes less than $10,000 But for most of the 200 households with annual Incomes over $20,000, expenditures on housing were less than 15% of their income Thus, there appears to be a need for rental housing at both extremes of the market More subsidized housing Is needed to provide low income families with greater spendable income, and additional market rate housing is needed for the more affluent residents Newer, attractive multi-family residential complexes could also entice renters from adjacent communities where incomes are higher.

Neighborhood Improvement Survey A •block-by-block" (visual) survey was conducted in 1987 of residential neighborhoods in order to identify areas requiring possible improvement including rehabilitation, painting, and general clean-up The only sector not included in the survey was that portion of the City lying north of Broadway and west of railroad tracts That area has been designated as a redevelopment area for future commercial and light - 34 - �industrial purposes It should be noted, however, that a majority of homes in that sector would have been Identified as in need of major rehabilitation The findings of the survey are displayed by Figure 8 This information is useful in that it provides the City with potential Indications of where to devote time and resources for neighborhood improvement When reviewing Figure 8, it should be noted that the data does not attempt to Identify a particular home Rather, it serves to Identify general areas (Specific address detail was recorded by City staff during the field Investigation and is on file at City offices.) The neighborhood survey was conducted with the assistance of City Building and Planning Department staff. For an area to be Identified, one or more of the following observations were made: 1. Homes in need of residing, painting, and/or roofing as evidenced by excessive paint blistering, falling or damaged siding, rotting or damaged wood, excessive moss build-up on roof, and lack adequate roofing. 2. Homes in need of structural or other major repairs such as falling chimneys, excessive roof sag, falling porches, and large foundation cracks. 3. Vacant housing, often with broken doors and windows and units that have been damaged by fire . 4. Home sites containing junk and debris such as abandoned vehicles, trash, and related items. In many instances, homes often exhibited a combination of the above factors. The following general observations may be made based on the survey: 1. Most housing within the City is in good repair. 2. Poor housing conditions tend to be localized (grouped) in specific areas with the exception of the southwest sector In that location, one finds that homes in need of repair tend to be spatially dispersed, limited to only one or two homes per block or area. 3. The City's prior efforts at housing rehabilitation appear to have had a positive Impact on maintaining housing stock Evidence of this becomes apparent (particularly in the northern sectors) as one compares the survey information against expenditure information for the City's Community Development Block Grant housing program (Refer to Figure 6 and Table 1O, which indicates public and private investment for rehab and other construction). - 35 - �: .

One area does appear to offer potential for new residential development This area has been Identified in the Muskegon Heights Housing Study as is known as the Woodcliffe property Woodcliffe Is a 14acre heavily wooded parcel located south of Summit and west of Getty, adjacent to an existing residential neighborhood It is owned by the City The parcel presently lacks infrastructure (roads and utilities). !. The City recently completed (May, 1989) a comprehensive site development plan (Woodcliffe Site Development Plan) for the Woodcliffe property The plan Identified the potential to create 38 singlefamily lots for building purposes The lots will be large in area, relatively secluded and private due to location, and heavily wooded with natural vegetation Additional area may also be available directly to the south along the north edge of Mona View Cemetery The Woodcliffe property offers individuals the opportunity construct high value housing in an extremely attractive and desireable setting. COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT The City has a variety of commercial uses which comprise nearly 5% of the City's total area These include retail, office, professional, and service-oriented establishments With some exception, the majority of the development has occurred in combination rather than in segments or blocks of homogeneous commercial types This is due to a variety of reasons including, 1) the lack of large areas of vacant parcel suitable for a singular use category (for instance 40 or more acres able to accommodate an office park or large mall); 2) current zoning regulations tend to be rather broad in definition of allowable uses within a district; 3) historical development patterns; 4) nature of business types (there has not been an overriding demand for the separation of use types; and 5) the City in its planning effort has not attempted to place a major emphasis on the segregation of commercial uses. The City has allowed the market demands to dictate location. To some degree, the City has found that the combining of commercial types has proven rather healthy to the local business climate. · 41 · �Most of the City's commercial development is located In a linear fashion along one of the major street systems. These include: r I I • f , ,. a) Seaway Drive Corridor (Business Route 31 and also the westerly terminus of 1-96) b) c) d) e) f) g) h) I) Getty Street Corridor Merriam Street Peck Street Broadway Avenue Sherman Avenue Keating Avenue Hoyt Street Glade Street The above sectors may be described as follows; I - ' a. Seaway Drive - located on the southern fringe of the City, the Seaway Drive corridor provides some of the most viable and attractive commercial property in the Muskegon County region. Within the City, the majority of development Is oriented to motel/hotel establishments (including several national chains), restaurants, offices, service establishments, and limited retail. Many of the facilities are relatively new. . The attractiveness of the corridor is due to, 1) its proximity to 1-96 and U.S. 31; 2) high visibility to large traffic volumes; 3) ease of access to adjacent development; 4) convenient to other points of destination including the City of Muskegon, Mona Lake, and Lake Michigan; and 5) the highways aesthetic quality. Such quality Is noticed as one traverses the corridor and is able to see attractive views of Mona Lake. Moreover, the highway has been designed with a landscaped median adding to the attractiveness of the viewing and travel experience. Additionally, Mona Lake Park, a public park facility owned by the City of Muskegon Heights serves as a focal point for Seaway Drive development. With the exception of City-owned land, virtually all of the corridor is developed. There are several remaining parcels in adjacent communities. The non-developed City property includes Mona Lake Park (approximately 34 acres) and a 14-acre parcel lying west of Mona Lake Park on the adjacent side of Hoyt Street. The parcel Is also separated from the park by a nearby residentlal mobile home complex. Varying degrees of pressure have been placed on the City to release Mona Lake Park for commercial development. The City has resisted such efforts, considering the park to be of extreme significance to local residents. The other parcel has not experienced such pressure, primarily due to the fact that the segment lacks any means of vehicular access. It is landlocked. The most viable means of access appears to be along a route across the northern edge of the manufactured housing park. - 42 - �Due to a lack of appropriately placed signage along the corridor, non-resident motorists often do ,- not realize they have entered Muskegon Heights as they traverse the highway. Local recognition ' Is typically given to either the City of Muskegon or the City of Norton Shores. This should be corrected by establishing suitable and appropriate •gateway• signage. i; I • b. Getty Street Con1dor - Getty serves as the east em limit of the City. The north/south limits of Getty are Keating and Norton Avenues. Commercial uses along the street include restaurants, retail facilities, service establishments, and offices. The street also contains a mixture of heavy commerciaVindustrlal uses, some of which are not generally compatible with overall land use patterns. Limited residential uses may also be found. i I '- From a land use perceptive, Getty Street appears to have evolved without any form of "planning direction: Uses are mixed without consideration for compatibility, sites are poorly planned and in many instances are also poorly maintained, and residential neighborhoods are being negatively impacted. Similar observations also apply to those Getty Street segments lying in adjacent communities. In recent years, Getty has experienced some new development and will probably see additional construction in spite of the observations previously made. Like Seaway Drive, Getty has many positive features. It experiences high traffic volumes, it is a well-known north/south route, and has excellent proximity to 1-96, U.S. 31, and M-46 (Apple Avenue). It serves as a major link to areawide employment nodes. It is anticipated there will be the opportunity for redevelopment along Getty as homes and other structures are converted to commercial use. As this occurs, efforts should be coordinated with adjacent communities to ensure compatibility of design while maintaining the integrity and efficiency of the system. c. Merriam - providing a direct entry into the Muskegon Heights Central Business District, Merriam is a rather obscure business route that is more closely liked to a residential street in appearance and design. Northwest of Merriam's intersection with Seaway Drive, one finds a newer complex r - of integrated offices. I I I These facilities house professional and service-related businesses. The remainder of the street is residential with several isolated commercial parcels. Better identification • in terms of locational and directional signage would be appropriate to formally establish this •gateway• into the City. d. Peck Street - Peck traverses approximately fifteen City blocks including the City's Central Business District. Development along the street includes a mixture of residential, retail, service, office, and public uses. Most of the commercial area radiates from the Peck/Broadway intersection (nuclei of the CBD). There, one finds a mixture of retail facilities including several stores which exhibit regional (market) influence in consumer shopping patterns . - 43 - �.. I • Traveling north of the Central Business District, uses change from 'the retail component to a combination of single-family homes, limited multi-family, offices, and retail. The character of the area, however, remains residential. That character Is maintained until one reaches Delano Avenue . There, one encounters a mixture of retail with limited industrial on the adjacent side streets. South of the CBD, commercial uses end at approximately one-half block south of Summit on the west side of Peck and at Lincoln on the east side. Beyond those points, development is fully residential until one reaches the Norton Avenue intersection. Peck Street contains a significant number of vacant parcels (approximately 31 typical City lots averaging 5,000 to 7,000 square feet in area). The majority are located north of the CBD. Because they are geographically dispersed, they presently do not detract from the high degree of development and land use character that currently exists. However, their presence poses an interesting phenomena pursuant to future development demands. The City will most likely experience pressure to utilize some of the parcels for commercial purposes consistent with the historic trends of similar development evidenced by existing land use patterns. Such pressure will have to be weighed against the need and/or desire to maintain the "residential" character of Peck within those locations that continue to exhibit such character. Moreover, if the residential component surfaces as a desired product, a further determination will have to be made as to the particular residential type; i.e., single or multiple-family or a combination of both. Current Master Plan findings indicate a single-family direction. ·....: t ; Peck (and to a limited degree, Sanford lying one block west of Peck) is an extremely important feeder route to the City's CBD, as well as to metropolitan traffic moving through the community. Accordingly, the efficient movement of vehicles, as well as the public perceptions that may be formed of the City, are closely aligned to the type and quality of development found along Peck (and Sanford). e. I • Broadway - as with Peck, Broadway traverses the center of the CBD. It does so in an eastwest orientation between the limits of Getty and Seaway Drive. Like many of the City's major arterials, Broadway historically possessed a heavy concentration of residential development. Exceptions include the CBD and those points near the City's outer limits. Over time, the system has evolved to become primarily commercial followed closely by industrial. A limited amount of residential continues to exist with the heaviest concentration lying east of Wood Street. Commercial uses vary markedly along Broadway, ranging from specialty retail to services to general retail. Broadway is a vibrant avenue offering merchants high traffic volumes, good visibility, on-street parking, City parking in select locations, and has been included in the City's streetscape beautification program. - 44 - �Although Broadway is readily accessible via the area's primary network of streets, it does not possess direct access to Seaway Drive. Broadway crosses Seaway on an overpass which ties it directly to the Henry Street commercial corridor. Historically, area residents have become aware of that fact and compensate for it by using alternate routes. Unfortunately, visitors are not afforded such knowledge. Travelers are faced with negotiating a rather circuitous route to reach the downtown area, as well as other destinations. The impact of this situation on commercial development has not been measured; however, comparison of the quality of commercial development found on Broadway near Seaway to similar business locations possessing an Intersection reveal a healthier business climate where there is direct access to Seaway Drive. It is felt that the true potential of Broadway development, including the CBD, has not been fully realized due to the lack of a Seaway Drive connection. I ; i ' f. Sherman Avenue - Sherman lies north of and parallel to Broadway. Its immediate potential for commercial development is not considered as great as that of Broadway. In part, this, is due to large segments of either industrial or residential uses that line the street system. Sherman does, however, possess several locations prime for commercial use. These include the Sherman/Seaway, Sherman/Peck, and Sherman/Getty Intersections. In these locations, one currently finds a mixture of commercial types. Due to its opening at Seaway, Sherman also serves as an important link to east/west traffic for the City's commercial and industrial sectors. I • Recent surface improvements to Sherman, coupled with its already high volume of traffic and presence of vacant parcels, will most likely result in future pressure to convert "edge" properties to commercial use, particularly office and retail. Should such development be permitted adjacent to primarily residential locations, the impact on those locations could be very significant. For instance, there presently exists a small resid~ntial enclave (5 and 1/2 blocks) south of Sherman between Leahy and Manz. This area is surrounded to the west by public school property and to the south and east by industrial and office uses. Commercialization of Sherman would totally Isolate the area from the homes to the north and jeopardize its future residential viability. g. Keating Avenue - Keating serves to define the City's northern edge. The street has experienced minimal commercial development oriented near the Peck Street intersection and an office facility between Leahy and Hoyt. Keating has not been targeted as a prime commercial corridor. h. Glade Street - Glade marks the westerly limit of the City. It runs parallel to Seaway Drive with isolation provided by a combination local street/service drive. Glade may be accessed from Seaway by a number of points along the street system. The proximity to Seaway renders Glade highly desireable for commercial purposes. Glade may be divided into two very distinct segments with the central point being Broadway Avenue. North of Broadway, Glade has been incorporated into the City's Commercial Redevelopment Area. There, one finds a "planned" commercial area with large lots that have been created through land assembly. The area is host to a mixture of retail outlets, services, and · 45 · �! l ' . I Industrial uses. In many respects the area functions as a Planned Unit Development. The redevelopment area has been one of the most successful commercial ventures undertaken by a Muskegon municipality. Evidence of that success may be seen In the availability of vacant space for development purposes which Is being quickly depleted. South of Broadway, commercial development has basically been confined to the first tier of (residential) lots between Glade and the public alley to the east. Uses include a mixture of offices, specialty retail, services, and restaurants. The ·strip• also contains a defined residential segment between Lincoln and Broadway. At the end points of that segment, office uses occur. The homes are generally well maintained. Many of the businesses area housed in converted residential units possessing small lots. Consequently, parking is limited as well as opportunities for building expansion. Patrons must often park directly on Glade. It Is anticipated that additional pressure will be forthcoming to convert or remove existing homes to provide for new commercial opportunities. Bases on prior actions, the thrust of that pressure 't' will be oriented to those lots south of Lincoln. North of Lincoln, it is felt the pressure will be long term. As mentioned, this area possesses good housing stock. It is also within one block of Roosevelt Elementary School. As long as the quality of the housing stock remains good, the lots north of Lincoln should remain residential. The other key commercial area is the City's Central Business District (CBD) which has been referenced previously. The heart of the CBD is at the intersection of Peck and Broadway. The district tends to radiate outward from that point. The CBD possesses a variety of commercial uses ranging from specialty stores to general retail office. One also finds the City's central governmental complex as well as several large offices occupied by State personnel. 'i . The CBD is a dynamic center and virtually always busy with pedestrian activity. In many respects it has a •quaint" flavor providing an atmosphere of friendliness and "small town" in design and function. This has not happened by chance. Local merchants, working in convert with the City, have initiated numerous improvement to make one's visit to the CBD not only productive but also enjoyable. These improvements include building facade renovations, a streetscape program, construction of a vest pocket pan< linking Rowan Pan< (found within the CBD) to the Farmer's Market, and the City Hall, Fire and Police Complex (located behind the tier of business establishments on the north side of Broadway. Additional improvements are currently underway to further enhance the viability of the CBD . These include the reopening of Sanford to Broadway and the development of "Sanford Village." Sanford Village, to be located between Sanford and Peck just north of Broadway, will provide space for retail and service uses. Sanford Village is being constructed on the site of the former ewe industrial - 46 - �complex. A 2nd phase is planned for mixed uses on the 5+ acre parcel west of Sanford Street. The project serves as an excellent example of the City's redevelopment potential. I ' ,. ! ; I In addition to the above commercial areas, the City also contains a number of "isolated" parcels devoted to commercial use. In many instances these have been in existence for many years and reflect older neighborhood "comer- stores common to mature urban residential areas. INDUSTRIAL As Indicated In the section on Income and Employment, slightly over 52 percent of jobs in the City are related to manufacturing. This compares to 46.7 percent for the county as a whole. The City's Industrial development is deeply rooted in the history of the community and has served to provide significant job opportunities over time. These opportunities were, and continue to be, very regional in scope. In fact, a majority of the local manufacturing jobs are held by non-residents. 'I ., r· I L It Is estimated that approximately 2,830 manufacturing jobs exist in the City. Of these. it further estimated that less than 16 percent are held by residents. This is significant in that manufacturing jobs tend to offer high wage levels providing opportunity for families to support major economic investment such as housing. In the case of Muskegon Heights, it appears that much of the above income is exported for Investment In surrounding communities. Moreover, the number of City residents working in manufacturing jobs in other communities also remains at modest levels. Consequently, the importation of monies is also limited. The City's range of industrial types is varied and includes both light and heavy classifications. Some of the most significant and historic development, such as the ewe grey iron foundries, have abandoned operations with essentially no potential for future start-up. The City currently has 6.2 percent of its land area devoted to industrial use. { . The City's industrial component is generally confined to a large linear segment sandwiched between Sherman Avenue on the north and Broadway Avenue to the south. The segment extends from Seaway on the west to approximately Getty Street on the east. Other industrial sectors are found around the Keating and Peck intersection and on isolated parcels north of Sherman and west of the rail line. Between 1969 and 1988, industrial acreage declined by approximate 52 acres. This is primarily due to the ewe plant closings and subsequent reuse of property for non-industrial purposes. Historically, much of the City's industrial development occurred adjacent to residential. This phenomenon is commonly found in older urban centers and is not unique to Muskegon Heights. In essence, during the early to mid-1900's people often lived "next door" or at least nearby their place of employment. During the 1950's and continuing to the present, the above relationship has changed. This is due to a variety of factors including improved methods and availability of transportation, changing - 47 · �I • cultural attitudes, environmental concerns, decentralization of Industrial development away from population concentrations, and growth of Industrial parks in more suburban locations. Based on recent market studies conducted for the City, the heavy industrial market is soft. The City's economy, as well as that of the county, Is shifting away from heavy manufacturing. New Industrial development is oriented more to light manufacturing with industrial parks being the preferred location. The City is attempting to meet the above need through such projects as the West Heights Redevelopment Project Area. Located north of Sherman and east of Seaway Drive, this is a mixed use area comprised of commercial (generally along Seaway) and light industrial. The area functions well as a mixed use park, providing the amenities one normally finds in a typical light industrial park. The project has been very successful and will soon require expansion to accommodate future demand. A . !. similar mixture •Sanford Enterprise Village• is being planned to redevelop an obsolete, abandoned Industrial site In the CBD . I. PUBLIC/SEMI-PUBLIC This land use classification represents schools, churches, parks, cemetery property, lodges and clubs, and other City property such as City Hall, the Water Treatment Plant, etc. There are 228 acres devoted to this category or 11 .5% of the City's total land area. Of the total acres, approximately 72 acres (32%) are devoted to City parks and 41 acres (18%) to the school system (Figure 10 and list of facilities following). , . I • 48 . �l . I,' _ : I • ' .

This represents 15% of the total land area. Since 1969 (date of the last City-wide land use acreage count), the amount of vacant property has Increased by 159 acres. This is primarily due to the closure of several large industrial complexes and demolition and removal of substandard housing. It is envisioned that much of the vacant property will be redeveloped over the next ten years as the City pursues infill programs directed at housing and commercial redevelopment. RIGHTS-OF-WAY . L.> This land use category includes streets, alleys, and rail lines. It comprises approximately 555 acres or 28% of the City's total land area. The rather high number of acres is due to the extensive grid system of streets within the City. In comparison to other communities of similar age and development, the above percentage is fairly r. consistent. However, in newer or developing communities, the above percentage is high. The City's present pattern of development precludes significant changes to the amount of acreage devoted to rights-of-way. INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENERGY SUPPLIES Because of their importance to development, information on infrastructure and energy supplies is included as part of the existing land use section. Public Water I. The City is one of the few communities in the region that maintains its own water treatment and distribution system. The City provides full water service to all developed sectors of the community. The system has a daily capacity of 15 million gallons. Current usage is approximately 11 million gallons or 73% of capacity. The City's service area also includes several of the neighboring communities. f. i! ,' I . The City has sufficient reserves to handle increased user demand. Moreover, it has the potential to "sell" excess water to surrounding areas, including the developing sectors of northwestern Ottawa County. Sanitary Sewer The City is part of the greater Muskegon County Wastewater Management System. That system handles the treatment of wastewater collected through the City's sewer main system. As with water, - 51 • �all developed sectors of the community are served by sanitary sewers. The County treatment is presently being expanded. Sufficient capacity exists to handle existing and future City development. Storm Sewers Storm sewers have been constructed throughout the City In most developed locations. As road Improvements are made, storm sewer needs are analyzed for redevelopment or construction as necessary. Natural Gas Natural gas is provided to the City by Michigan Consolidated Gas Company. Distribution lines run throughout the community and supplies are readily available to potential customers. Electric Service Electric power is provided by Consumers Power Company with service available to all industrial, business, and residential properties. Said service is sufficient to handle specialized commercial needs including large horsepower motors. Telephone Service Telephone service is available throughout the City and is provided by General Telephone. Cellular Phone Service Cellular phone service is available throughout the City with the distribution system provided by Cellunet Corporation. Cable Television Cable television is available throughout the City and is provided by West Marc Cable Company. • 52 • �Transportation �TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM \ r . , The livelihood of Muskegon Heights is directly related to the transportation system. The streets, rail lines, transit system, Intercity busses, and nearby airport and harbor can enhance the opportunity for economic growth throughout the Muskegon metropolitan area. A system which efficiently transports people to work, shoppers to stores, materials to manufacturers, goods to sales outlets, and tourists to their destinations improves both the living environment and the business climate. The lack of certain modes of transportation, or an unorganized, poorly maintained system can detract from the vitality of an area. In general, the transportation needs of the City are being met. However, improvements to several streets, railroad crossings, and regulatory controls would Improve travel conditions in the City. ' Streets have two basic roles in the transportation system; allow through traffic movement and provide access to land uses. The primary function of the street network is to allow an efficient movement of people and goods throughout the City and the surrounding area. The secondary function is to provide access to homes, businesses, industries, and other uses along the streets. The inherent problem with these two roles is that the needs of through traffic often conflict with the needs of motorists accessing adjacent uses. By designating streets according to their designed purpose, the City could potentially reduce that conflict, help protect the public investment in the street system, and facilitate decisionmaking when allocating funds . The most common method to promote an organized street system is by classifying streets according to their intended function. A hierarchial "functional classification system" provides for a graduation of traffic flow from the traffic movement function to the access function. Streets with a predominant role of moving traffic through an area are classified as "arterials." Streets which are designed primarily to provide access to adjacent land uses are termed local streets. Collector streets help move traffic from the local streets to the arterials. The following list summarizes the characteristics of a hierarchial classification system: Functional Classification System Regional Arterials: • • • • Primary role is movement of traffic through a region. Long length. Very high daily traffic volumes. High average speeds (49 mph or more). • • • Four or more lanes. No on-street parking . Limited number of traffic control devices. - 54 - �'- Major Arterials: • • Primary role is movement of traffic through municipalities. Long length. • High traffic volumes. • • • High average speeds (35-45 mph) Four or more lanes Limited on-street parking • • Traffic control devices favor arterial. Major transit routes. • Serve major traffic generators (CBD, Industrial Areas, etc.) Collectors: • • Primary role is to move traffic from neighborhoods to arterials. Medium length. • Moderate traffic volumes. • • • Moderate average speeds (25-35 mph). Usually two lanes. On-street parking. • Traffic control, either signals or signs. • May be a segmen_t of a transit route. Local Streets: • • • Primary role is to serve adjacent land uses, usually residential. Short length. Low traffic volumes. • • • Low average speeds (25 mph or less). Two lanes. On-street parking. • Stop or Yield signs for traffic control. Streets designated as arterials should be efficient thoroughfares whose major purpose is the movement of traffic. Access to land uses is a secondary consideration. Arterials are typically longer in length, have higher daily traffic volumes, higher average speeds, and are wider than collector or local streets. Traffic control devices and driveways along arterials should be designed to minimize the disruption of traffic flow. Major traffic generators, such as shopping areas or factories, should be located along streets, designated as arterials so that the traffic can be accommodated without unnecessary costs. Major transit and commercial truck routes are usually along arterial streets. - 55 - �The arterial system In Muskegon Heights cannot be viewed as an isolated system. Travel patterns In the Muskegon area mandate that the arterials be Integrated with the street systems of Muskegon, Roosevelt Park, and Norton Shores to facilitate an orderly traffic flow. Existing traffic volumes and patterns Indicate that most of the motorists traveling between Muskegon Heights and nearby communities use major streets such as Peck, Getty, Sherman, and Broadway. Those streets have been designed to function as arterial routes. Collector streets are intended to assemble traffic from neighborhoods and provide routing to the arterial system. Collectors usually have moderate traffic volumes. They are typically spaced more closely than arterials, as well as being placed between arterials. Collector streets are designed to serve a specific area, and are signalized at intersections with other collectors or arterials. Collector routes often serve as secondary routes for mass transit. Local streets comprise the great number of miles In a community. In an efficient system, local streets are usually short and discontinuous with low traffic volumes. Local streets are designed to serve adjacent land uses, usually homes. These streets are characterized by low speeds, minimal commercial traffic, on-street parking, numerous driveways, and stop signs for traffic control. The major problem in the Muskegon Heights functional classification system is the lack of distinction between collector streets and local streets. Though pavement markings, traffic control devices, and street offsets are used in some areas as an attempt to designate function, the grid street pattern does not promote an orderly flow of traffic. The only exceptions to the grid pattern are found in the City's southeast section where several radical and crescent streets help maintain the areas for local traffic. A well laid out street system would prevent the intrusion of non-local, higher speed traffic into neighborhoods. The allocation of fiscal resources for maintenance and improvement is more difficult when collector streets are not distinguished from local streets. Recommendations of previous planning studies to rectify the problem by constructing cul-de-sacs or disconnecting streets were not implemented. Using the above descriptions as guidelines, a functional classification system for Muskegon Heights was developed (Figure 11 ). This system can help Identify needs, Indicate where improvements would have the greatest impact and promote land uses which are consistent with the transportation system. Allocation of funds for transportation projects should emphasize the high level class to promote economic activity in the City. - 56 - �Table 19 Functional Classification of Streets Muskegon Heights, Michigan Regional Arterial: Seaway Drive (BR U.S. 31, BR 1-96) Major/Minor Arterials: Getty Street Merriam/Peck Street Sanford Street Broadway Avenue Sherman Avenue Collectors: Jarman Street Wood Street {Summit Avenue to north city limits) Hoyt Street Baker Street (Airline to Sherman Avenue) Peck Street {BR U.S. 31/1-96 to Rotterdam) Fifth Street (BR U.S. 31/1-96 to Broadway Avenue) Sixth Street (Broadway to north city limits) Ninth Street (Norton Avenue to Sherman Avenue) Park Street (Sherman Avenue to Hoyt Avenue) Glade Street Hackley Avenue Summit Avenue Norton Avenue r •• Airline Avenue Local Streets: All others - 57 - �~ tt---------j ~i"rr=i:;~±,:~ I \ : F.l:::=:= _=_=_n:_:fc__,.:'iii...,i=_-=_iiP'=====~==;FF"=ci==-.=- •. .: I . l,_.. ~ M 0 ,"•f' A . / I , [~r~j i ,,,__,___ ~ ~ Ew C (M; ETERY :;__~____:.:==--=-- l CIT Y OF FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION ML'SKEGO:\' HEIGHTS REGIONAL ARTERIAL MAJ OR ARTERIAL - - - COLLECTOR - • • - • • - OTHERS ARE LOCAL STREETS _____..::!.. ~-~ · Figure 11 �Rail Service There are almost three miles of railroad lines within Muskegon Heights. The Grand Trunk and Western Railway operates 1.8 miles on two lines, one running east-west along Manahan Avenue and the other running north-south from Manahan at the west city limits, through the West Heights Redevelopment area and continues east-west just north of the city limits. The CSX Transportation Corporation (formerly C & O and Chessie System) operates a line which criss-crosses the City for 1.1 miles from the northwest to the southeast. Freight traffic for both railroads averages about two trains a day, five days a week, but that fluctuates according to the demands of the shippers/users. There is no AMTRAK passenger service available in the Muskegon area. AMTRAK service is available from Grand Rapids to Chicago aboard the Pere Marquette Train which nuns once a day. Transit System Muskegon Heights is served by the Muskegon Area Transportation System (MATS) which provides transit service throughout the metropolitan area. There are four MATS routes which nun through the City, with scheduled stops at major activity areas including the South Heights, Central Business District, Columbia Court apartments, and East Park Manor. The four bus routes connect with two other routes to provide a system throughout the Muskegon urbanized area. The transit system does not operate on Sundays. Intercity Transit Intercity bus service is provided by the Greyhound and North Star bus lines. Bus lines run north and south on U.S. 31 and east to Grand Rapids along 1-96. The bus terminal is located on Western Avenue in the City of Muskegon. Air Service Muskegon County Airport in Norton Shores provides the Muskegon area with commuter commercial airline service with flights to Chicago and Detroit. Cross-country and international connections are also available at the Kent County International Airport in Grand Rapids. Lake Service Currently, there is no cross-lake passenger service in the Muskegon area. Cross-lake passenger, auto and rail service is available from Ludington to Kewaunee, Wisconsin on the Michigan-Wisconsin Transportation Company Ferry. - 59 - �TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM PROBLEMS AND ISSUES ,- . ' r Traffic Accidents Regionally, the Intersection of Peck Street and Broadway Avenue at the core of the Central Business District was rated the highest in the area using the MOOT "Hazardness Index" table (a measure of traffic hazard-based on accident rates). None of the other top ten intersections were located in Muskegon Heights. Within the City, six of the top eight high accident locations were signalized, the exceptions being the ,( Wood Street Hackley Avenue and Sanford Street/Hackley Avenue intersections. Generally, accidents are higher at signalized locations because more vehicles use those intersections and the signals often give a false sense of security which may contribute to accidents (Table 20). ; The transition from one-way to two-way traffic creates contusion at the intersection of Sanford Street with Hackley Avenue. Impatient motorists, desiring to continue south on Peck probably account for many of the accidents along Sanford at both Sherman and Hackley Avenues. The timing of the tramc signal at Sanford Street/Sherman Avenue may need to be adjusted. The signal was formally interconnected with the signal at Hackley Avenue to facilitate north-south flow, but it should be timed to ease the more dominant east-west movement. A detailed review of accident patterns at those Intersections and others with high accident records should be undertaken to determine if any pattern exists which can be corrected through assignment of right-of-way, additional lanes, driveway closures or removal of sight obstacles.

Future redevelopment of the downtown will require an adequate supply of convenient parking. There is an acceptable amount of parking for both existing and future business in the CBD, but much of It is underutilized. The only area where parking demand approaches the number of spaces available is along Broadway and Peck. The parking turnover along these streets ( I \ - usually provides a sufficient number of spaces for patrons. The downtown segments of these street systems experience considerable congestion during peak traffic hours. Conflict is often experienced between those using the streets as through routes versus those desiring to park and shop. In addition to on street parking along Peck Street and Broadway Avenue, the city provides almost 250 off-street . l , spaces in three downtown lots. The on-street spaces, being the most convenient to stores, are most heavily used. The use of off-street parking is usually a "last resort" for many patrons, even though it may be conveniently located near their destination. An improved pedestrian route from the City lot adjacent to the Rowan Park Plaza to nearby businesses could increase Its use. r ' I - - 61 - ' - - - - -- - ---- �I • ,_ • ' .

Also, it was observed that individuals shopping at the various retail establishment along Peck, North of Broadway, often utilized the City of Muskegon Heights City Hall parking lot. This served to. reduce the number of vehicles parked along Peck. Source: Counts by The WBDC Group Curbs and Sidewalks Most of the City's streets are curbed, which improves the appearance and durability of the roadways. Sections of Barney and Hovey Avenues, however, still need to be rebuilt with curbs. Sidewalks have been constructed along most of the streets in the City. A major deficiency is the lack of a continuous sidewalk along Getty Street. A worn path along the west side of the street indicates the need for a sidewalk from Keating to Sherman Avenue. A sidewalk would also improve the aesthetic appearance of the Getty Street corridor. The City should continue its program of providing and maintaining sidewalks throughout the City, especially in areas designated for housing preservation and redevelopment. - 62 • �Access Management One of the most cost effective means of preserving street capacity and limiting accident potential Is through a program of access management. Access management Involves limiting the number of driveways along major arterials, designing access points to minimize the impacts on through traffic, and coordinating land use decisions with the ability of the roadway to accommodate the traffic. The most obvious applications of access management In the City are in conjunction with new commercial development proposed along Getty Street and Broadway Avenue. However, the techniques should also I be applied as existing land uses expand or change. ,_ I Development proposals along Getty Street and Broadway Avenue should be reviewed in terms of their relationship with nearby land uses, access points, and the affect on the integrity of the arterial. Access points should be located away from intersections, spaced at least 150 feet apart, adequately offset or aligned with driveways across the street, and shared with adjacent land uses whenever possible. Alternative means of access, such as frontage roads or service drives should be encouraged. These techniques can help maintain the capacity of the arterials without making costly improvements, while I • I still providing land owners with "reasonable" access as defined by the courts. The access management techniques along Getty Street could be expanded into "corridor management" in conjunction with Norton Shores, the City of Muskegon and Muskegon Township. A cooperative study of Getty could include guidelines for access, land use, paved parking lots, landscaping, setbacks, and signage for both sides of the street. A Getty Street review committee or similar procedure could help both communities improve the economic climate along the roadway. Entryway to Downtown There are four major entryways to the Central Business District; Broadway Avenue from the east and west, Sanford/Peck from the north, and Merriam/Peck from the south. None of those entryways gives a motorist a visual link or perception of the activity in the downtown. Each of the entryways needs to r i . be improved. r . l The City of Muskegon Heights has been pursuing an interchange along Broadway Avenue at ' . Seaway Drive for a number of years. Their attempts have been complicated by the fact that ! Muskegon Heights does not have jurisdiction over the potential interchange area. The Michigan Department of Transportation and Region 14 have done some analysis to determine if traffic demand for the interchange warrants construction. Their unofficial conclusion is that construction of a partial interchange would need to be tied to a specific economic development project. The billboards at the corner of Broadway Avenue and Getty Street do not enhance the eastern entryway to the CBD. Development or signing in that area, and continued development and redevelopment along Broadway Avenue would improve the character along the route. - 63 - �r· I • l: The northern entryway along Peck Street carries the most traffic to the CBD. Aside from the ! . condition of several buildings and street elements (signs, curbs, etc.) along the route , Peck Street offers the best visual entrance to the business area. The major entrance to the City from the south Is along Merriam/Peck from the exit along Seaway Drive. Once taking the exit, the motorist passes through a predominantly residential area. The turn from Merriam to Peck Street is poorly defined, designated only with a small sign. The tum should be redesigned to distinguish the primary route, or Merriam to the north should be closed •Jff entirely. L. I i L I . I i .

General text descriptions and district locations of each have been provided. The districts represent desired categories of development as well as their spatial arrangement throughout the City. The location of each district has been based on a thorough analysis of existing land use, examination of development pressures presently experienced by the City, assessment of future land area ·needs, and analysis of redevelopment potential in light of market conditions. And, most Importantly, the districts represent the desires of community residents pursuant to the City's future growth and development. RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS The Master Plan deUneates two residential use districts. These include Single-Family and MultiFamily. Single-family refers to existing and planned residential areas devoted to single-family detached housing on individual parcels. This is the primary housing type of the community. As indicated by the Master Plan Map, single-family locations comprise the bulk of the City's geographic area and are located in all quadrants. The multi-family category includes residential dwellings comprised of two or more attached living units. Five major areas have been planned for multi-family use. These include: 1. The general area bounded by Ivory Avenue (N), Ray (E), Sherman (S) , and Jarman (W) . This location includes East Park Manor. 2. The areas east of Little Black Creek Park between Broadway (N) and Summit (S) and westerly, south of Broadway. 3. The segment occupied by the Senior Citizen Apartment complex lying south of Columbia and west of Baker. 4. Airline Road, west of Mona View Cemetery. 5. Three small continuous segments on Ninth Street between Delano (N) and Barney (S) . These segments provide a transition area between the Mixed-Use District on the west and Single-Family District to the east. Other minor locations have been identified on Sanford (south of Broadway) and at the Sherman/Sanford Intersection. · 66 · �t. fI J ii 11 !!-i:.· !:_· -~ : I ·=-p.:.11;_1=-]: ~; =::: ;- - r ? :.· ~ ~ r:-~ =-;::: ~_f_ _ -•~!BJ ~ cfJm [iJ:rn ~ ~ ~ ~~ i· ►7 -• 1-:: :-:·. -=:. · -• ·-~1Jl1L · -· ~ - • ,:.iD"::11::-1-=- - - :. :~ :_: ; : _: ____ . _. _ rr.:7 i:::::ir-:1 i £ 1- lF.-' . .. , • - l.::n:11~~•,' ~ ·-=.:.=--=-=-= t1' - -:· 7 .: -: - ~ ::::r1~1 :-' : -1 ~ ··m -_ \_· rn ~ - ~IU · i ;· ~ -- --· - . - -. -- - ·- . - - - -. -· ~rnrnrnm .

These Include: OFFICE DISTRICT - oriented to office development of a professional or service nature and including either public or private establishments. Anticipated office occupants include medical, legal, insurance, design, accounting, financial, real estate, governmental, and other professionals and/or services of a similar or comparable nature. The office classification has been planned for the following locations: ' -• I 1. I Glade Street between Lincoln (N) and the approximate mid-point of the block between Maplewood and Oakwood (S). This area has experienced the conversion of single-family detached dwellings for off ice and limited retail use. Directly east of the area is a prime residential neighborhood. It is the desire of the City to maintain the northerly limit of this district at Lincoln. While the area north of Lincoln may experience limited pressure for similar conversions, it is presently comprised of quality housing. Moreover, its use for office or other commercial purposes is to be discouraged due to the following factors: a) the area lies within one block of Roosevelt Elementary School; b) additional conversions will serve to increase non-residential traffic loads on adjacent residential side streets; c) visibility of Glade as one approaches Broadway is diminished due to grade differences between Glade and Seaway Drive; and, d) due to small lots sizes, it becomes difficult to accommodate required on-site commercial parking and other regulatory standards. To meet such standards often necessitates the assembly of several lots resulting in the demolition of housing stock. 2. Merriam between the Seaway Drive Intersection and Hoyt. This area has experienced some of the City's newest and highest quality office development. Due to the presence of Little Black Creek, and associated lowland, land area for additional development is limited. It is proposed that future development remain consistent with existing development and that use i - of the land be maximized. This may involve physical modification of the site including the addition of fill and channelization or restructuring of the creek. 3. Central Business District with the majority of office development radiating about the City of Muskegon Heights City Hall and focused on the Manahan and Baker Intersection. Primary locations include the parcels directly north and east of the City Hall building. These segments are presently developed for office use. 4. Keating between Leahy (W) and Riordan (E). This location is currently used for office facilities and related parking. - 68 • �5. Miscellaneous Sites as follows: a. Getty Street between Barney (N) and Hovey (S) and Llncoln (N) and Overt>rook (S). The segment between Barney and Hovey is currently used for medical offices. There Is limited area avallable for office expansion. This area abuts residential development on the west. The segment between Lincoln and Overbrook lies directly east of the Woodcliffe residential subdivision. The subdivision possesses quality housing and has the potential for additional residential growth. Overbrook represents an entry point for the subdivision. The designation of Office represents a use type that provides development opportunities for property owners along Getty, while serving to diminish compatibility concerns with the adjacent residential uses. ,. ' b. Green Street, south of Seaway Drive. This small parcel abuts Mona Lake Park on the west and an existing office use to the south. The office use is located in the City of Norton Shores. i. Two options are considered viable and potentially appropriate for this parcel. These include, 1) consolidation of the parcel as part of Mona Lake Park; or 2) use of the parcel for office purposes. The parce1 represents a logical extension of the park. It provides sufficient additional area for expansion of existing tennis courts and associated parking and would serve to enhance this very important regional recreation facility. Conversely, the parcel also exhibits potential for commercial development. This is due to both the existence of such development on the south as well as the site's proximity to Seaway Drive. Of the commercial classifications, the Office designation is considered appropriate for the following reasons: 1) as indicated, it represents a northerly extension of an existing office use; 2) the parcel's small size renders the accommodation of most general commercial/retail uses very difficult, particularly with respect to vehicular parking and circulation; 3) Green Street serves as an entry point to a residential area. From a commercial use perspective, the Office classification is generally more consistent with residential development; and 4) the Green Street Seaway Drive intersection experiences high traffic volumes, many vehicular turning movements, and pedestrian movement resulting from nearby motel development. The addition of a high (traffic) volume commercial use would increase congestion experienced at this intersection. Due to the private ownership of the parcel and its close proximity to an adjoining office use, it has been given an Office District designation. - 69 - �I .. l ;. .', c. Remaining Off ice District locations reflect isolated segments presently In office use or represent parcels appropriate for such development. In many Instances, these areas serve to buffer high intensity commerciaVretail uses from residential development. GENERAL RETAIUSERVICE DISTRICT - This classification represents the broad spectrum of commercial development which is either retail or service in orientation. Uses encompass a variety of commercial types which serve the needs of both the City and, to a lesser degr_ ee, the surrounding region. Typical retail uses _include grocery, clothing, hardware, drug, appliance, specialty shops, furniture, book stores, and similar retail facilities. Service uses include hair salons, shoe repair, copying/reproduction, restaurants, fitness salons, and similar service uses. The General Retail/Service classification also includes entertainment facilities such as theaters, lounges, and uses of a recreational nature. Within the City, this category also encompasses select retail uses which are often found in Highway Commercial Districts. These include automotive and recreational vehicle sales. l •. ! I The General Retail/Service District has been planned for the following locations: 1. Glade Street between Hackley (N), Lemuel (E), Manahan (S), and Seaway Drive (W). This area represents the westerly segment of the West Heights Redevelopment Area (WHRA) . It possesses some of the area's fin est and newest commercial development. Its location as a prime commercial sector is primarily the result of its visibility from and access to Seaway Drive. Much of the existing commercial development serves a regional market in addition to the City. 2. Getty Street between Keating (N) and Barney (S) and Hovey (N) and Lincoln (S). These segments represent a significant commercial strip and delineate the eastern edge of the City. As with the Glade Street corridor, Getty Street experiences high visibility due to large vehicular traffic volumes. Much of the Getty commercial corridor abuts residential development. As a result, development activities must be carefully planned to reduce potential conflicts between the adjoining uses. 3. Broadway and Getty Intersection - While this area encompasses a portion of the Getty Street corridor, it also extends along the northerly edge of Broadway. Currently, this large sector experiences a mixture of retail and office uses. The newest development is represented by a retail marine sales establishment. The high visibility of the corner, combined with recent development initiatives, serve to orient this area as General Retail/Service . 4. Broadway corridor between Seaway Drive (W) and Wood Street (E) - This commercial corridor traverses the Central Business District (CBD) . With the exception of the CBD and the small segment north of Broadway between Sixth (E) and Ninth (W), commercial locations are oriented to a shallow tier of lots fronting along the southern edge of Broadway. South of this - 70 - �tier, one generally finds residential development. Broadway serves as a "gateway" for the City funnelling regional traffic into the downtown area. 5. Central Business District (CBD) - The CBD represents a major commercial area for Muskegon Heights. It serves as a focal point for the City's retail function and, geographically, is fairly equidistant from all residential sectors. The CBD is traversed by a series of streets which serve to markedly enhance visibility for commercial establishments. These include Sherman, Broadway, Summit, Peck, and Sanford. ,._.. , I The CBD is generally defined by the following points: Hume (N), Hoyt (E), Summit (S) and including one block south to Meister's Lawn & Garden and Heritage Hospital, and Sixth (W) . 6. Peck Streat between Keating (N) and Delano (S) - This area consists of the first tier of lots along both sides of Peck Street and includes several lots Just south of Delano. The district also penetrates several lots east of the main segment with frontage on Maffett. This area is presently developed with General Retail/Service uses. 7. Sherman between Manz (W) and Getty (E) - This location consists of several commercial establishments, however, it possesses a number of vacant parcels suitable for development. It is a highly visible location. Development for commercial uses would serve to buffer the northerly residential areas from the industrial areas lying south of Sherman. 8. Hoyt Street near Maplewood - This area consists of three segments; a) several lots on the east side of Hoyt, just south of Merriam, which are presently developed; b) the first tier of lots east of Hoyt and south of Maplewood; and c) the area west of Hoyt and South of Maplewood. 9. Miscellaneous sites as follows : ! . a. The small area on Sherman lying east and west of Hoyt. These lots are presently developed for retail purposes. b. Small area lying north of Maplewood and east of Glade. c. Small scattered sites on Peck, Sherman, and Merriam. Such sites have historically been used for commercial purposes. - 71 · �HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT - this classification reflects commercial uses heavily dependent on a regional market and generally requiring location on a regional arterial such as Seaway Drive. Within the City, such development principally consists of motels and restaurants. Other types of Highway Commercial uses Include vehicular sales, larger shopping centers (malls), and manufactured housing sales. The Highway Commercial District includes the following planned locations: 1. Seaway Drive (north side) between Peck (W) and Green (E). This area includes the core of Muskegon County's motel development. 2. Seaway Drive and Hoyt Street Intersection (southwest corner) - This area is fully developed and consists of a new restaurant. '' l • I I.. I Parcels lying near the NortorVLemuel and Glade/Maplewood Intersections. • f ·' (" 3. --- MIXED USE PUD DISTRICT - The Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development District was created in order to respond to areas that exhibit potential for mixed-use development and are located in areas possessing unique physical characteristics and/or other significant developmental constraints. Once such area is the City-owned property lying south of Seaway Drive and west of the Mobile Home Park at the Seaway/Hoyt Intersection. Due to its proximity to Mona Lake and lowland character, the southern portion of the site experiences high water table conditions throughout much of the year. The northern portion is higher in elevation and potentially suitable for limited development. Because of the area's physical constraints, future development must be given flexibility pursuant to site design and use. It is anticipated that uses may be oriented to a variety of controlled types including office, limited commercial, residential (cluster) development, and/or recreational uses. I·• The mobile home park lying to the east has also been included in the PUD designation. Should the park cease to operate in the future, Its proximity to the City-owned parcel on the west, combined ;..,.,:. with its location relative to Mona Lake Park and Seaway Drive, point to the need and desire to redevelop the site in a creative fashion, consistent with the planned westerly uses. The property comprising Sanford Enterprise Village located in the CBD also lends itself to the PUD concept. This area represents the redevelopment of an abandoned industrial site combined with the enhancement of adjacent commercial facilities. The area is particularly unique due to location, overall site configuration, relationship to the transportation system, environmental character and related developmental constraints. REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT - This district Includes a combination of use types including business, general and heavy commercial, and light industrial which are able to function in a compatible fashion. It represents the type/nature of development experience by the City within the West - 72 · �Heights Redevelopment Project Area extended to the railroad line running from Hackley (N) to Broadway (S). Several small pockets east of the railroad line have also been proposed, as well as an extension of the district along Park between Keating (N) and Hackley (S). INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT In addition to light Industrial development which has been provided for under the Mixed-Use Commercial category, the City also recognizes the classification of GENERAL INDUSTRIAL - This plan destgnation provides for industrial uses which are oriented to manufacturing, assembly, fabrication, and/or treatment of materials and goods. Other uses might Include tool and die shops, machine shops, trucking and warehousing, research and testing facilities, and uses of a similar or comparable nature. The district may also accommodate light industrial uses. ' .. Locations planned for the General Industrial District reflect existing industrial locations. These include the following areas: 1. The broad band of development lying between Sherman (N), Getty (E), Broadway (S), and Seaway (W). Within this band, General Industrial areas may be found within City blocks 175, 179 through 182, 184 through 188, 192, and 200 through 207. Additional segments are also located near Beulah Avenue and Jarman Street. A minor northward extension of the band occurs north of Sherman and east of Temple and Park Streets. 2. The SPX plant site between Delano and Keating and the Consumers Power Company site between Peck (W), Keating {N), and Leahy (E). PUBLIC DISTRICT The Public District includes lands and facilities under public ownership and/or control and utilized for public purposes. These include all of the Muskegon Heights Public School grounds, City offices and parks, and Mona View Cemetery. Development of these areas is highly restrictive and strictly oriented to the programs and policies of the governing agency. It is the intent of the Public District to protect public lands from encroachment by incompatible uses and to ensure their preservation for the needs and enjoyment of City residents. - 73 - �r. lI I l , I ' Goals and Action Statements (Implementation) �GOALS AND ACTIONS Muskegon Heights has undertaken a number of planning studies in the last 30 years in efforts to Improve the quality of its living environment. Studies completed in 1957, 1969, and 1982 had slightly different focuses, but reached the same general conclusions. All three studies were concerned with the condition of housing stock; the lack of cohesive residential neighborhoods; the limited amount of amenities, such as parks; the need to attract new commercial development and Industrial employment opportunities; and the vitality of the Central Business District (CBD). Each of the earlier studies provided Goals and Objectives to guide the City's decision-makers in efforts to improve Muskegon Heights. These previously defined goals and objectives shared one common element - that the vitality and quality of life in the City needed to be improved. Goals reflect the optimum standard, and though they may seem virtually unattainable, they do reflect a desirable end. The goals listed below are broad statements concerning the long-range policy intent of the City toward improving the Community, as well as enhancing its regional position among surrounding cities. Under each goal is a list of action statements. They have been classified as "action statements" rather than objectives in order to emphasize the need for Implementation. They represent specific programs or policies that should be pursued in order to reach the identified goal. To do so, serves to Implement the Plan. The action statements have been listed as either short or long-range. Short-range actions are oriented to a period of one to approximately five years, although in certain instances, they may extend to greater periods. Long-term actions are more visionary. They reflect future project activity serving to position the City for its place into the year 2000. The goals and action statements have been listed by category and include residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, recreation and community facilities, utilities, and other tasks. The section ends with a summary of the identified short and long-term actions. - 75 - �RESIDENTIAL Goal Statement: Provide and/or preserve sound housing stock and neighborhoods necessary to meet the needs of existing and future residents. Short-Term Actions a. Preserve sound housing stock through vigorous code enforcement. A systematic program of neighborhood Inspections should be Initiated to ensure that all areas of the City meet local maintenance codes. including site maintenance. At a minimum, the program should include the following: i I I 1. - Rental property registration and inspections with all properties inspected on a two-year cycle. ' 2. Owner-occupied housing Inspections with properties inspected at time of sale. 3. Annual (drive by) inspection of all residential areas pursuant to identifying site violations such as abandoned vehicles, trash, and related code issues. Particularly troublesome areas may require more frequent inspection. b. Consider limitations on the placement of curbside trash pursuant to time of collection. It is not uncommon to observe curbside trash that has been placed several days prior to scheduled pick-up. Not only is this unsightly, but it is also potentially unsafe. Moreover, it serves to degrade the quality and perception of the neighborhood. Placement should generally be limited to no more than two days prior to collection . ' c. The City should prepare and implement a maintenance schedule pursuant to City-owned properties in residential neighborhoods. The City currently owns a number of vacant residential parcels in area neighborhoods. These parcels should be maintained during the growing season on a regular basis. d. As identified in the Muskegon Heights Housing Study (1986). the City should: 1. Target additional housing rehabilitation funds to Census Tract 14.02. 2. Work with private contractors and developers to enhance the pace of infill development on City-wide vacant parcels. Said infill should not preclude manufactured housing. Relative to the above, the City has negotiated a recent agreement with a private party to construct new homes on existing lots. Approximate ly 50 parcels have been committed - 76 • �with 2 to 3 units per year being oonstructed. The City should attempt to secure additional developer Interest and oommltment in order to Increase unit oonstruction. e. The City should implement Phase 1, followed by Phase 2 of the Woodcliffe Site Development Study. f. Through revisions to the City Zoning Ordinance, slated for completion during 1991/1992, lnoorporate provisions that will serve to eventually eliminate nonconforming uses from residential locations. Moreover, the revised Ordinance should Include language adequately protecting residential neighborhoods from future Incompatible uses. Such language should incorporate provisions addressing the following: ' I g. 1. Limitation on types of uses permitted in residential areas. 2. Buffers between residential and non-residential districts. 3. Methods for modifications to existing incompatible situations. 4. Landscape and related site development standards. The City should oontinue with the implementation of the Muskegon Heights Parks and Recreation Plan (1986) with particular emphasis on the West Heights Park. Improvement of the park is critical to the future residential stability of the northwest sector of the City. Moreover, the park serves as an important buffer between this residential area and industrial development to the west. h. Restrictions should be placed on through commercial traffic (I.e.; trucks) in residential neighborhoods. This can be accomplished in the short-term through signage and subsequent police enforcement of violations. Commercial traffic should generally be restricted to major and minor arterials and collector streets. i. The City should investigate the potential to work more closely with local neighborhood associations, churches, and related organizations pursuant to neighborhood .; redevelopment efforts, especially replacement housing initiatives. j. Pursuant to paragraph i) above, the City should focus particular attention on area churches which are found throughout local neighborhoods. Said churches serving not only the religious needs of residents, but also, providing centers of social interaction for neighborhood groups. During field work associated with plan preparation, it was observed that a number of churches were in need of external repair and site maintenance . Generally , the magnitude of repairs and - 77 - �'' maintenance did not appear that great. Rather, they simply involved the need for cleaning, painting, lawn work, and in certain instances modest construction improvements. The lack of maintenance serves to downgrade neighborhoods possessing churches, which exhibit the above characteristics. Long-Term Actions a. Continue with the following programs: 1. 2. Lot infill, housing rehabilitation (Homestead program) and nuisance building abatement. Land assembly with emphasis on Census Tract 13 for future single-family 3. development. Recreation improvements as outlined by the Recreation Plan. b. Targeted neighborhood revitalization strategies. c. Construction of a downtown, market-rate rental, mid-rise apartment complex to complement CBD development. d. Conversion of the Strand Theater building (upper story) to rental, including the possibility of senior rental housing. e. Redevelopment of East Park Manor with emphasis on landscape, site circulation, and building facade improvements. East Park Manor is a subsidized complex providing rental housing to low income families. The complex is a significant land use feature encompassing several blocks in the northeast part of the City. It is perceived in a variety of ways by residents of the City, as well as non-residents. Generally, that _Perception is not positive. Much of the (negative) perception is directly related to the rather poor visual quality of the site and buildings. Efforts Should be made to encourage building and site improvements. The implementation of improvements will serve to soften negative perceptions of the complex. Additionally, they will be needed as the City seeks to encourage additional rental development south of East Park Manor. L. - 78 - �I , COMMERCIAL Goal Statement: Promote quality commercial development located to meet the needs of residents and visitors. Short-Term Actions a. Completion of the first phase of the Sanford Street Redevelopment Project (Sanford Village). Said phase to include the reopening of Sanford Street, site clearance, redevelopmenu expansion of Peck Street properties, and bank construction. b. Complete development of Heineman Plaza. C. Complete sale of remaining (commercial) properties in the West Heights Development District. Prepare a site development and acquisition plan and begin the assembly of additional properties in this area for future development. d. Work towards the removal of non-conforming uses In prime commercial areas. A major component of this task will involve revisions to the City Zoning Ordinance to limit the development and expansion of the incompatible uses in commercial locations. Changes to the Ordinance should also address commercial site development including standards for landscaping, signage, parking, and paving. e. Maintenance of the current CBD streetscape should be improved. Trees should be pruned on an annual basis. Tree grates should be periodically cleaned of litter. Damaged tree guards should be repaired. Sidewalk and street litter should be removed on a regular basis (weekly). f. Alleys within the CBD should be cleaned and, where possible, the rear facades of buildings painted. g. As with residential properties, commercial properties should be periodically inspected for necessary external improvements. Restrictions should be placed on outside storage. Steps should be immediately taken to repair the south wall of Heritage Hospital. The exterior wall covering is "falling off" and presents an extremely poor image as one enters the CBD from the south. This situation has been in existence for over a year! h. The City should investigate the need/desire to initiate two-way traffic flow on Peck and Sanford as related to entry into the City's downtown area. i. The City should undertake a CBD parking and traffic circulation study to determine long-term parking and circulation needs. - 79 • �j. Initiate a joint corridor planning effort with those communities possessing Getty Street frontage pursuant to the use and redevelopment of said street. The planning effort should Investigate such issues as appropriate land uses, access control, streetscapes, slgnage, and maintenance. Findings should be Incorporated Into the local zoning ordinance. 'I • k. The Muskegon Heights (MOOT) entry sign at the Seaway Drive/Merriam Street Intersection should include a directional reference to the "Muskegon Heights Central Business District." I. Follow-up on 1989 Peck and Sanford Traffic Study. Long-Term Objectives a. Construct an access point to Broadway from Seaway Drive in order to facilitate the viability and growth of the CBD, as well as other commercial development along the street system. b. Continue with the development of Sanford Village with activity concentrating to the west of Sanford Street. c. Initiate development of the City-owned parcel lying south of Seaway Drive and west of Hoyt. Said development should be completed based on a comprehensive planning approach recognizing the environmental constraints of the site as well as surrounding land uses. As part of the planning effort, the City should consider acquisition and redevelopment of the adjacent manufactured housing park. d. The CBD streetscape should be extended to incorporate all designated commercial areas radiating from said CBD. This includes the entire stretch of Broadway, from Seaway Drive to approximately Wood Street, and Peck, between Summit and Hume. e. The small commercial node on Peck, between Keating and Delano, should be considered for streetscape beautification. f. The ewe property located at the intersection of Seaway and Broadway should be removed with the site redeveloped for commercial (or light industrial) uses. - 80 - �INDUSTRIAL Goal Statement: Preserve and' enhance existing Industry and attract new Industry to selected areas In the City. ' . Short-Term Actions a. Complete the sale of existing West Heights redevelopment District properties. Begin the acquisition and assembly of additional properties to meet future industrial dema d. Rename area to West Heights Enterprise Village. b. Relocate the transport operation (presently found on Getty, between Hackley and Barney) to an appropriate industrial setting. The operation is not compatible with adjacent uses nor with uses proposed by the Master Plan. c. Encourage existing industries that are located on highly traveled roadways (i.e.; Broadway and Sherman) to implement site beautification activities. d. Upgrade industrially-zoned (planned) parcels by eliminating non-conforming uses. e. Maintain a close awareness of the needs of the City's existing industries. Strive to meet those needs where possible. I . Long-Term Actions a. Complete the expansion and development of the West Heights Redevelopment District eastward to the CSX Railroad ROW. b. Prepare redevelopment strategies for aging industrial facilities/areas. Concentrate initial efforts on those industries which have indicated the potential for closure (i.e.; SPX facility on Sanford). · 81 · �r ·, TRANSPORTATION Goal Statement: Promote an effective transportation and circulation network within and through the City. l • Short-Range Actions II ' a. Develop a functional classification for the street system which distributes traffic in an efficient manner. b. Implement measures to decrease the level of (transient) through traffic in residential neighborhoods. c. Develop a short and long-term program for street maintenance, including assessments of funding needs and funding mechanisms. The maintenance program should also consider adjacent right-of-way improvements such as sidewalks, bicycle paths, and landscaping. d. Coordinate the reconstruction and maintenance of the local transportation system with those of adjacent communities. Particular emphasis should be placed on regional transport segments serving as through routes (i.e.; major and minor arterials and collectors). e. Implement regulations/standards pursuant to building setbacks, roadway signage, landscaping, driveway design, right-of-way needs, off-street parking, and loading and · unloading areas as part of the transportation planning effort. These can be handled through revisions of the Zoning Ordinance. f. Coordinate efforts with the Muskegon Area Transportation Authority to ensure long-range public transportation to areas of high pedestrian activity. Such areas include the CBD and Mona Lake Park. The City should also investigate the potential of participating in the Trolley route now serving communities adjacent to Lake Michigan. g. Signal timing for major intersections should be periodically examined to ensure optimal safety and efficiency. h. The tum from Merriam to Peck Street is poorly defined, designated only with a small sign. The tum should be redesigned to distinguish the primary route, or Merriam to the north should be closed off entirely. · 82 · �i • l 'Long-Term Actions f - ........: a. Develop an access to Broadway Avenue from Seaway Drive. b. There is evidence of pedestrian movement along the west side of Getty, between Keating and Sherman. The City should consider placement of a sidewalk at this location. c. Access should be secured to the City-owned parcel lying south of Seaway and west of Hoyt. d. Implement a pedestrian crossing to Mona Lake Park from the north side of Seaway Drive. • l ,.

Morris Teles SECRETARY Dated: December 23. 1947 �HOUSE OF Jmsa foORS!IP Special Membership Meeting held at the Occidental Hotel Wednesday, January 21, 1948 J,,.i.,P A special me.mbership meeting of the House of Jew1sb,\was held at the Occidental Hotel on Wednesday, January 21, 1948. More than seventy (70) members were present when President Leo S. Rosen called the meeting to order at 11115 P. M. Because of the lateness of the hour the reading of the minutes were dispensed with. Mr • .llosen reminded the community of the importance of unity among all the members. He reiterated his policy as president of the organization, namely, to seek advice from the membership and to keep everyone infonued regarding the plans and progress of construction. In answer to a petition that had been signed by many members expressing disapproval (among other things) of the plans to install an organ in the House of Jewish l\orship, the chair celled for a vote on the issue. Without a dissenting vote the board of trustees was sustained 1n its decision to have an organ. The chair presented a brief picture of the financial diff iculties confronting the organization, and pointed out that recent develo~ents might hinder further progress. Specifically he mentioned thet only $5,000 was on hand to meet a bill of $25,000 in January, and that obstacles were not inconsiderable. The meeting was adjourned at midnight. Respectfully subarl.tted, Morris Teles, Secretary �HOUSE OF JE\'IISH ViORSHIP Special Board Ueeting at Grossman• s Sunday Morning, April lS, 1948 Gr A svecial Board meeting of the House of Jewish lorship was held at ora:~ ~ri~i~gt1t~0 fiil§Le~P[l11~is1i~a: The meeting was called to The following officers were present: Leo S. tlosen, President Fred Rod.off, Treasurer Korrie Teles, Secretary Trustees present included the following: Abe Ashendorf Sam Lipman Sam Klayf Harold Rosen Also present were the following visi tore and members of the board of trustees of Congregation B1 nai Israel: Harry Fisher Rosenberg Hortense Berman Eli l>mith Milton Steindler Max llax Ashendorf Sadie Grossman Lyle Rogers s. Q. Rosenbert The chairman explained the nature of the financial emergency and asked for advice and financial assistance. The contractors of our building had billed us for $51,000 (above the $1541 000 already paid them to date) for the period ending Karch 31st, 1948. The contractor was unwilling to continue work without some immediate remittance •• air. llosen expressed anxiety lest the contractor cease work and recind the contract. Such a step lllight cost us an additional several thousand dollars, since the present contract is not very profitable to the contractor, and the reopening of negotiations might lead to a situation 1n our disfavor. The rescinding of a contract might cause a cancellation of our surety bond, and would surely not place our community in a pleasant light before our neighbors. Our present needs, the chair continued, are some $7,000 cash and a $65,000 mortgage. Negotiations for the latter were being delayed due to a cloud on our tiUe to the land. 1hile these negotiations proceeded (possibl,for a period of 90 days) our immediate needs were $30,000 in cash .c::i. loans. ()'(' A proposal to borrow $30,000 from the bank on personal signatures was ineffectual when sufficient and qualified endorsers proved unobtainable.

[Rosalyn] Okay, I'll start. Let me think. Wait a minute, let me start. I think I should start by saying that I was one of the people who did not come from academia and I didn't I come from a teaching background. My teaching experience was limited. I'd been at Kendall Teaching and Design School. Though I was committed to teaching, I found that it was sorely lacking as an educational experience. Both for me and for the students. And so, I was looking for something else. When I found out about a new college, that had just started the year before, that was interdisciplinary in nature--and I consider myself an interdisciplinary person because I'm interested in a wide variety of things. And the college was interested in having a design component in its curriculum, and I thought that since I had such a wide variety of background interests, of things I was interested in, I would give it a shot. Because it was sort of a new college, and it had sort of altruistic ideas, I guess. And high expectations for educational excellence. I was sort of caught up in the whole idea of being able to build something from its very beginnings, that I applied and came the second year--in the second year the school existed. [Barbara] Stop for a moment. I want to suggest… if I may direct you? That you now talk a little bit… and we have changed the shot. Now you talk a little bit about how that changed. Remember? 'Because when you're doing it spontaneously to me you said, "But that changed." [Rosalyn] That's right. [Barbara] [Inaudible] [Rosalyn] That's right. [Barbara] Okay. And then we'll start again, and the next point can be the part about the students being involved. Give me a second. See what I'm doing? I'm dividing it up more in a more linear way. [Rosalyn] Okay. Clearly, that's why you're the editor. Okay... [Barbara] Well, it will just be easier. �[Rosalyn] Okay. [Barbara] You're going to have to answer that again. [Rosalyn] I can't remember what I said. [Barbara] You look perfect. [Rosalyn] Huh? [Barbara] I'll do it again. I ask it again. [Barbara] Can you hang on a second? [Rosalyn] Yeah. Is this coming out alright? I don’t know. [Barbara] Yeah, it is. It's reversed from… the polarity is reversed. So, it tapes backwards. [Rosalyn] Oh, wonderful. [Barbara] You’ve got to keep pointing to the window as much as you can because looks it very attractive. [Rosalyn] Okay. [Barbara] The question I asked you was if you had to say what one… in hindsight, what one problem of the school was. [Rosalyn] Okay, with hindsight there were lots of problems. But I think one of the fundamental problems that we had was that we had an absolute commitment to equality; as far as decision making and the educational process between the faculty and the students. That we tried very hard to give the students to equal voice and equal weight in the decision making. What happened was that the students – just because they were students and were much younger in general – they didn't have the background or the information to make those decisions. And so, in a sense, they had much more power in the decision-making process than they should have had by virtue of the fact that they had far less experience and did not necessarily know the where right decisions were as far as around education was concerned. So, I think we made a mistake, in that we gave that much… too much weight at the time. I think it was important that they have some weight, but not as much as we tried to give them at the time. And also, the early students, I think, had a major commitment to alternative education. And the early students challenged the faculty, and push the faculty to do greater projects, larger amounts of work. I mean we were doing graduate level type theses on �some of these projects at that time. That changed over a period of time. [Rosalyn] Because as the idea of alternative education changed somewhat, and the students, I think, changed somewhat in that… what happened was, that there was less push to do these major projects, and I think some of that was because students who came afterwards decided this might be an easier way to get an education. That it might be-- You could do things by sort of sliding through. There wasn't as much push to do really in-depth kinds of things. And I think the faculty somewhat got caught up in that. I think we lost track of what we were doing, as far as-- let's see. As far as some of the, you know, some of the courses we taught and some the work that was going on here. [Barbara] Why don't you stop for a minute and think? Brief answer, tell me about strengths. [Rosalyn] Okay. The major strength of James in the beginning was the absolute dedication the faculty. The faculty was dedicated to excellence in education. To building something here that would sort of stand for education at its highest level. And as a result, because we had that commitment, we worked enormous long hours to fulfill our goals. I think our goals were somewhat unrealistic in the beginning because nobody could do everything, and since we were committed to interdisciplinary education, everybody really had an interest in what everybody else was doing. And even though they were very damn different fields--and so we spend a lot of time talking about other things and learning about other things different than our own field. And as a result, I think what happened was that there just wasn't enough time, and nobody had enough energy to do everything. What we didn't do is we didn't delegate responsibility, because everybody was interested in being involved in everything. And we miscalculated, I think, as a group. We just attempted to do too much. A result of this was, I think, that was in three or four years we had massive burnout. People were just exhausted; and were not really able to meet their somewhat, you know, unrealistic goals that they set for themselves in the beginning. [Barbara] Tell me Ros, do you find it… don't talk till I get in here. Do you find it harder to teach now that we've switched the systems? Is it harder to teach? Wait till I focus here. Make sure it's clear. Okay. Does it make a difference? [Rosalyn] It's very different, but I can't really say if it's easier or harder. I feel that a lot of the joy of teaching that existed by being able to interact with people in different fields and on an ongoing basis is gone. Some of the really satisfying, you know, the things that satisfy your soul are not there anymore. Is it easier to teach? Well to begin with I, for one, have far fewer preparations. Because in a tiny school where we taught such a wide variety of things there were times we had nine preparations a year. They didn't teach any of those courses the second year. �[Rosalyn] So now, with the new organization, I tend to teach a course and teach again the following year. I am able to spend more time developing my current curriculum in my individual coursework because I get to repeated so often. However, the tradeoff is that it isn't the same. It's become much more static. I'm able to teach things like techniques more because, you know, the nitty-gritty of it but I'm not able to teach the philosophy and theory kinds of things that I did before because I can't bring in those… the other kinds of things and other people from other areas. It's much more rigid. So, in a sense what's happening is my students are becoming much more proficient as technicians, and they're not as good as far as thinking, problem-solving, human beings. I think the first students we turned out had a unique quality that came in. Now that I look back and I think that the technical things that they had to learn, they're learning right now working in the field. And that the things that we gave them are things they can never get out in industry. What we're giving them now, interestingly enough, are the kinds of things that they could learn in industry; but unfortunately, they're not getting the really joyous things that they came in. A lot of those have to do with values, and just thinking, and problem-solving. And being caring kinds of human beings. I think those early students had a wonderful experience. Now, it may very well be that we are a small microcosm of the times. And that, in fact, in the beginning of the nineteen seventies -- I came in seventy-two -- there was a lot of feeling of people towards each other, and that we were reaching out towards each other more as a society than we are now. Right now, everybody's concerned about the bottom line; about a job, about how many dollars are going to make for their first job. I have students want me to tell them, at the beginning design course, how much they're going to earn when they graduate. How do I know? I don't even know if the job they're training for is going to be there when they graduate. But they don't understand that. Yet, in nineteen seventy-two when I talk to students about them and told them that they had to understand about design, and they had to be flexible, and be able to go with the change and they understood that. And they were willing to except that. Different student today. So, I don't know if it's because of William James. I really don't so. William James may, in fact, have been a reflection of what was happening in in the greater community; and it's gone because those values have changed in the greater society. [Barbara] Great answer. That was really good. You're all informed warmed up now. [Laughs] Um, I need to ask you if you were going to summarize what James' form of alternative education was? As briefly as possible, try to summarize in two sentences the key to what James was. What was it? [Rosalyn] I don't know if you'd call us the key to what it was, but what we tried to do was we tried to have students, not to teach students to solve problems, but to teach students to recognize the problem. [Rosalyn] And then, the solution would come after it. It was not a question of working out �the solution, it was a question of defining the problem (whatever the problem was) and I think that was part of the--That-that was the essence of it. [Barbara] Would you care-- [Rosalyn] Does that make sense? [Barbara] Yeah, it does, it means you don't get hung up on specific solutions. You get to the general problem. [Rosalyn] Yeah. Yeah. Which is really what I think that what we were doing. Part of that was that we didn't have time to do anymore. [Barbara] Would you care to venture your guess of why we don't exist anymore? [Rosalyn] I think we don't exist anymore because I think the times are different. I think we live in a very conservative time. I think we are we live in a time where we're more concerned with ourselves. We're far more isolationist than we were fourteen/fifteen years ago. I think we don't exist because I think that society does not want us to exist at this point. [Barbara] Why? Why doesn't society still want students that are trained to spot problems? Isn't that important to the society? Why would the society want to change its educational system to turn out technicians? Just technicians? [Rosalyn] Well because I think we are entering a very repressive era. I think that where we have people who are… well, I just I think that we are in a more repressive area or era at this time. That we are not willing to tolerate each other's foibles, whatever they are. I think we're far more narrow… it might be an economic thing, that there is less resources. Even though we live in wealthy environment; there are many, many more people who don't really have access to that wealth. I'm not really sure. The problem is that when you are so close to it, it's so hard to tell what it is. And maybe ten years from now we could look back and say that, you know, it didn't work at that time because of this reason, or that reason. It's so difficult to know when you're sort of right there at that moment to be able to analyze it. At least it's difficult for me. [Barbara] If you had to do anything differently about the way things ran here, aside of the one thing you mentioned, which is not give quite so much power to students, what would that be? [Rosalyn] The other thing would have been to delegate responsibility to each other, and to accept each other's decision making. Because I think that would've helped us to prevent this absolute fatigue that overwhelmed us. I think I would've change that. �[Barbara] I am out of questions. Anything else you want to say? [Rosalyn] I don't know. [Barbara] You're very good at this. This was fun. [Rosalyn] What else would I say? [Barbara] Do you think alternative education is going to come around again? [Rosalyn] If, you know, history teaches us anything; it teaches us that there's never anything new. And that, in fact, you know, everything is a circle. And that I believe that, once we get through this sort of conservative situation that we are in, that we will come full circle again. And that, in fact, I don't know if it will be alternative education as we knew it fifteen years ago. But it might be alternative education in some other mode. And I would fully expect that we would make, you know, we--it would come around again, because we tend to go in waves. Assuming that we're all here, you know. We all survive long enough for it to happen. I think it will. [Barbara] There isn't much tape left, but let me ask you this: when you came to James, you chose alternative, what is there in your background that made you interested in this kind of environment? In other words, why did you feel comfortable with alternative? [Rosalyn] Because I don't have a traditional academic background, in a particular academic field. I've done a whole variety of things, and I have… my life has changed over the years. I think that one of the main reasons was that I was that I was older. I think if I had been twenty-two/twenty-three years old, just out of school, I would not have been as well suited to this particular thing as I was when I came. When I was in my late-thirties, almost forty years-old. Because I'd had a variety of experiences in my life. [Barbara] Like what? [Rosalyn] I had been a professional designer. I had taught. [Rosalyn] I had been, you know, I had made the choices between being a working mother, or a mother that stayed at home. I'd raised a family. I did a lot of traveling. I had a wide interest in many things. I was interested in things besides art and design. I was interested in sociology. I had a deep interest in history. I was interested in cooking and the whole variety of kinds of things. And I think that this allows me to do it. �[Barbara] I'm out of questions and tape now. [Rosalyn] What do you think? [Barbara] I think it's wonderful. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

[Barbara] We were just talking about the evolution of this place. [Rosalyn] Okay. Okay. The evol-- The directions this college was somewhat a result of chance. Chance in that the specific interest of the individual faculty members that happen to come here. I think in initial planning they knew there were going to be some forms of social studies, and some sort of management, or business component, and there would be some art component. But what nobody knew was what direction it would take. They didn't know whether they'd get a faculty member who was a potter, or a painter, or a filmmaker. Actually, what they did is that they initially got me. My background was in graphic design and in interiors. I'm sure that the initial planners of the college never envisioned a program an interior design or graphic design. And yet what happened in the evolution the college is the graphic component, as part of the arts and media component, became the longest-lived program that was here. It had the greatest number of students. And in the reorganization, what has happened is, that number has carried through into the reorganization so that the design students, who are now part of the art department, are the largest component in that department. And there was no way of knowing that in nineteen seventy-two when we were starting out because there was no way to predict what area… which direction we would go. So, there is an element of chance, I think, not so much in… not a general element of chance, but in the specific interest and the specific background of the individual faculty that came here initially. [Barbara] So, what does that say about the planning? Does it say that it was just sloppy planning? Is this a negative or positive? Are you criticizing, or are you saying it’s a good thing? [Rosalyn] I think it's a positive thing. I think that, you know, when you look at Russia with their five-year plans everything is planned down to the… almost to the individual person. And it's always found wanting. That sometimes there is such a thing as natural growth, and that you can plan in general, but you may not necessarily do as well – if planning specifically – as if you would allow them to be sort of natural growth. So that, you know, things could take the direction in which they are supposed to take. They are sort of an evolutionary element that I think was good. I think that this is a positive thing. �[Barbara] So, what did they advertise for when they got you? [Rosalyn] I'm not really sure now that I think about it. They were looking for someone in… Someone, you know, I don't really remember. [Barbara] Okay. [Rosalyn] I don't really remember. [Barbara] So… [Rosalyn] I do remember. [Barbara] Alright. [Rosalyn] One of my friend’s husband was teaching here, and he knew about the college. He wasn't teaching for the college, but he knew about the college. And he knew that they were considering looking at the possibility of having somebody in arts and media, and maybe somebody from industry. But they really weren't sure what they wanted. So, in fact, what happened is I applied for the job before was ever advertised for, that's what happened. And so, in a sense, by applying for the job, and telling them, telling the people the kinds of things that I was interested in, what I wanted to do, what was remarkable is that I came to them and that they were able to recognize this as a good thing. Even though the people who interviewed me, not a single one of them was in anyway related to art, at all, and yet they were able to recognize the kinds of things that I was talking about and the kinds of things that I wanted to do. And they were able to recognize the validity of it. It turned out to be the first step in very successful program that we had here. [Barbara] But, Ros. I came much later. So, you were hired as the first arts and media person. [Roslyn] Right. [Barbara] So how did the arts and media program grow? [Rosalyn] Okay. [Barbara] I don't understand how it evolved. I don't know. [Rosalyn] So, what happened was… I was the design person. Then we had a person here initially, who came the same time I did, whose background was in American �Studies, and yet who was interested in video. Video as a means of documenting American scenes in American Studies. That was Bob Conrow. We sort of came at the same time, and we sort of help each other. [Rosalyn] I think from that we added photography, we added another design person (because we had to have more courses in that), we hooked up with channel thirty-five and graphics for television, because we did that internally as a curriculum. That lead will to animation. I taught the first animation class on this campus. Even though my background is not in animation; but I'm interested… it's one of the things I'm interested in. And that led to an expanded video and film program. That's how that happened. That was the nucleus of it. [Barbara] Fine, thank you. [Rosalyn] Does that help? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

(00:18) Part of his family lived in Mississippi and part of it lived in Louisiana (00:54) His family was mostly farmers working primarily share cropping. (1:05) His mother passed when he was 5 months old. He was then raised by his aunt in Natchez. He lived with 2 boys and 2 girls. (1:24) Attended Catholic school in Mississippi through elementary school. (2:16) He was later removed from Catholic school and placed in public school in the 8 grade. He was ahead of his class when he began to attend public school. (2:36) The Catholic school he attended had white nuns for teachers, but the students were primarily black. (4:33) He attended school through the 10 grade. He was 16 when he left school and volunteered for the armed forces. (5:40) Due to his age, Johnnie needed consent form his legal guardians before he could go into the service. (6:15) He had family in the military. This inspired him to also enlist in the armed forces. (6:50) He wanted to be a soldier like other members of his family. (7:30) At age 17 in 1946 Johnnie was enlisted in the Army. (8:26) th th Basic Training (8:40)      He was then sent to Fort Sam Houston. (8:44) Due to his selection of the medical corps he was sent to school for extra training. (9:30) Basic training included a lot of marching. (9:49) During his basic training the military was not yet intergraded. His training unit was all black including the drill sergeants. (10:08) When he arrived at Fort Sam Huston there were some men there who were waiting to be discharged who had served during World War II. (11:26) Desegregation of the Military (11:43)   Desegregation of the military was ordered while Johnnie was at Fort Sam Houston for basic training. (11:43) His unit was chosen to be one of the first to be broken up and desegregated. His unit, the 25th Infantry Regiment, was broken up and placed into the 15 Infantry Division, which was desegregated. (12:00) The desegregation required some adjusting and was “touchy” at first. Over the all, unit was united as one over time. (12:43) When the unit was allowed to go into town and leave the base, the blacks and whites rarely socialized with one another. (13:27) th   �  The Fort did put forth efforts to east the tension of the desegregated unit. (13:58) He was still a medical aide when placed in the 15 Division. (14:40) th Basic Training cont. (14:45)       He was trained on how to apply bandages and recognize specific wounds. (14:50) He was trained to work in a field hospital. (15:15) The men were given medical supplies and a helmet with a red cross but no weapons. (15:55) He served at Fort Sam Houston (16:16) The men he served with were from all over the nation. (16:50) There was a stark contrast between soldiers from the north and soldiers from the south. Soldiers from the north were much less accepting of segregation that existed in southern society. (17:23) Service at Fort Belvoir Virginia. (18:30)            He was reassigned to the 92 Transport Battalion. He was still a medic. (18:39) At this base there was a total mixture of black and white soldiers. (19:27) Here, Johnnie served as a medical technician. (20:30) He mostly preformed simple first aid at this Fort. If there was a serious injury the individual would be transferred to a hospital. (21:33) He would often travel to Washington when given a pass. He believes the segregation in the capital was equally as bad as in Mississippi. (22:33) The treatment of segregation was not seen as an oddity to Johnnie due to his exposure to it during his childhood in the south. (23:21) Blacks from the north where often easily frustrated with the lack of freedom available to blacks in the south. (24:10) He originally enlisted for 3 years. He was discharged in 1949 (24:33)] After having been discharged, Johnnie attended trade school in Natchez on the GI Bill. (26:00) He lived with his aunt and uncle, however, attended school for 6-7 hours a day. (26:47) After having completed his schooling, he got a job in a cobbler shop in Natchez. He held this job for 18 months. (27:30) nd Reenlistment in the Army (29:21)  In 1952, he reenlisted in the Army (28:21)  He reenlisted due to his interest in having more experiences in other places aside from his home town in Mississippi. (28:35) He was then sent to Arkansas. Here he was an administrative man in a military hospital. (29:16) At this time (1952) he was a Tech Sergeant. (29:44)   �       The pay was better than what he maed while working in the shoe shop. (30:36) Before working in Arkansas, he had gotten married. He was given a special quarters where married personnel were stationed. (31:03) The hospital he was employed in did serve badly wounded soldiers [the Korean War was going on at the time] who needed increased time to recover. (31:44) Being a sergeant and working in the administrative part of the hospital, he had approx. 4-5 workers under him. These men were not all black. (32:37) Integration at this time (approx. 1953) was much more accepted. However in the Southern states, some still struggled. (33:00) During his second enlistment (1952-1958) he spent his entire service in Arkansas. (53:19) The army only allowed so many dependents per soldier.

Now we're doing something a little bit different from normal here because we're actually talking about Linda's mother, was Evelyn Tolley Buckingham who served in The United States Air Force. She's no longer with us, but she wrote an account of her story and Linda knows a good deal about it, so we are going to put that story together with through a recombination of Linda's memories and what her mother wrote. All right now one thing your mother did not write about was anything about her life really before going into the Air Force, so begin at the beginning. Where and when was she born? She was born in Madison, South Dakota and just think Little House on the Prairie. She was... her father was a farmer, had lots of property outside of Madison. She grew up during the depression but she said she never felt the- the effect- the effects of the depression because her mother was an awesome seamstress, so her mother always made you know clothes out of the- the burlap bags and- and such and they always had food because they lived on the farm and weren't really connected to this to the- to the city. Madison is only about four thousand people. Interviewer: Okay now did they own their farm? �Yes, they did yes. Interviewer: Were they able to keep that through the 30s? No actually the bank did take it over for about ten years. It used to belong to my greatgrandfather and then he lost it and it went back to the bank, but my grandfather continued to farm it and then he purchased it back from the bank after those ten years. So, it's been in the- it's been in the family for about a hundred years now. (2.23) Interviewer: Okay so there's still a family member who's farming it now? Yes. Interviewer: Alright, and what kind of schooling did she have? She went to a one-room school house until she was about 8th grade and she said it was... she loved the learning because she was the only student in her class and so many times the teacher would say ya know, “Evelyn come sit in with the... you know the next oldest class and come sit in with us,” and so she learned to love to read and she used to read the dictionary at night because it was just something fun; learning new words and such. So, she was at a one-room schoolhouse until high school and then she went in town. The one-room �schoolhouse was only a mile away from where her farm was, and then- and then after, for high school she went in town to a regular high school. Interviewer: Okay and how far was that from home? It was about three miles, and I'm not sure how she got there. She had another sister- she was number three out of four children, she had another sister who was two and a half years older so I'm not sure whether her sister Shirley drove them into town. I'm sure they didn't walk into town because it was all country roads. Interviewer: So that wasn't all walking ten miles to school kind of thing. On no definitely to the one room school house it was blizzards and it was uphill both ways and yeah. Interviewer: Alight now did she tell any stories about life during World War II when she would have been still in school at that point. (3.58) Yes, she wanted to go into service and that's what makes her stories so- to me so unique is that she wanted to go into the service, she wanted to serve her country she wanted to see the world and she wanted to go into the Air Force because there was the capability of going all over the world. So, when she graduated from high school, she wanted to go into the �service but at that time she had to be 21 to go in on her own. Graduating at 18 she would need her parent's permission, and they would not sign for her. Interviewer: I guess it was asking a little bit about before that when she was still younger, when World War II was still going on? Did she kind of say anything about what life was like they ever talk about rationing or anything else like that? Not... well she never felt those effects because she lived on a farm and my grandpa got extra rations for- for fuel, because he was a farmer. She just didn't feel, she just didn't feel the rationings part of it. She just always said that she- she wanted to do something for her country. She wanted to serve her country. Interviewer: And you don't really have a sense of exactly when that feeling started for her? Late high school, I know that when she graduated from high school, she wanted to go into the service, but grandma and grandpa said no. Interviewer: Okay what year did she finish high school? She graduated in 49. (5.22) �Interviewer: Okay alright and so she wants, she wants to go in the service and her parents were saying no so what does he do at that point? She stayed in town and I know she had a variety of jobs. I know that she worked as a typesetter in- for the newspaper. So, she had jobs, but her sights were on getting into the service, and as soon as she turned 21, she signed up. Interviewer: alright and then- the, the air force offered her a chance to go different places and see things. Did she, I suppose- I guess the opportunities were still kind of limited still for what women could do in any branch of the service. Very much so in the Air Force was a newer branch. It hadn't been officially recognized for quite some time. Interviewer: Yeah but like 1947 or something like that was one of they actually broke away from the army and became its own service branch, and so they- and they were generally more progressive they certainly were in terms of integration and things like that. So, they may have been a little bit more open to having women doing things, and ultimately in the Air Force most of you stay on the ground and they need a lot of support personnel (6.30) Right, right. �Interviewer: Alright so now what did she- what do we know about the enlistment process or how she went about getting in? That I am not sure, she states... Interviewer: How does she describe going in? Okay, (reading) “after thinking of nothing else since in my teens I finally was old enough to join the Air Force in February of 52. In those days you had to be 21 or have your parents permission I thought that it was very unfair but now I see the wisdom of it I would have done just what my parents did and that was say no. That was a really big decision to make and I didn't really know what it entailed but throughout World War II I felt I needed to do something. After a tearful goodbye at the train station in Madison I and my fellow enlistees headed for Sioux Falls where we had physicals and we took the oath of enlistment. My fellow enlistments- enlistees were all men that I knew from the Madison area. Several were younger than I was, but they could enlist at 18. We were met at the train and put up at a local hotel. I had never stayed at a hotel before.” She was a farm girl. “And I found myself on the fourth floor all alone.” Because she was the only woman that was on that particular train there. “The men had to double up which was good points, but I must admit I shed a tear or two. What was ahead I really had no idea. The next morning, we went to South Dakota USA and USAF recruiting service group and at the Wilson terminal and we got our physicals. After that we had formal swearing in and then we were escorted to the train station and got on a military car. I was the only woman, at least until we got to Omaha, Nebraska when Marilyn Mikkel �joined us. We went to San Antonio, Texas by way of Kansas City we stayed on the same train all the way picking up other men and women along the way. The women had a car to ourselves and in no time we seemed to pick up new recruits at every station. at San Antonio we were picked up by military buses and were taken to Lackland Air Force Base. My life was going to change.” So, going from not hardly ever leaving Madison, to traveling completely south, and she really wasn't- she really didn't know what she was getting herself into. (8.58) Interviewer: Right and she also- but she did also note in there that since World War II she had been thinking about that. And then she also points out for us that men could- needed their parents' permission when they were seventeen but once they're 18 then they could go. Right. Interviewer: But for women they did it differently. For women it was different. Interviewer: Alright okay so and that did she tell you anything else about- either saying the physical or the induction process of the train ride beyond what you just read? It was very formal, not a lot of talking and joking going on. I think everybody was just trying to prepare themselves for what basic training was gonna be - was gonna be like. �Interviewer: Okay. And she was kind of a maverick as being- well she was the only woman until they got to Kansas City? Interviewer: To Omaha. To Omaha, yeah. And then slowly picking up more and more women. So, it was uncharted territory. Interviewer: Now what does he tell us about training? Training, oh my goodness, she said she always told me after meeting my father and marrying him boot camp was the best thing that happened to her. she was third born and very independent very much the Maverick. had no problem going against the- against the grain and so here she is she's in a place far away and she's, she's being ordered around, and she can't ask questions. So as far as the basic training… oh let's see. Interviewer: Well I mean she's written her story, so I think we can kind of… Right. �Interviewer: So, does she have... what does she say after talk about getting to San Antonio what does he put in next? (10.53) Okay, “we were given a nice welcome after being told to line up and something very few of us had ever done. It was the beginning of a great adventure for me. I would learn to take orders without questions, the most important thing I think I learned. Our barracks were brand-new, and we were the first occupants. We were then marched down to the men's mess hall they did not have separate tables. In fact, each table had two men and two women, but you could not talk. After the first week this rule was changed, but you are sure that you learned a lot of selfcontrol quickly. We got our physicals and shots galore.” My mom said that when she got her shots- lots of shots in both arms she was supposed to salute for a half an hour, and that was to help with not being so sore. “We settled down to some serious business, not to mention a lot of marching. I couldn't understand what was so important about learning to march until later: it was discipline. Our barracks were near the men's barrack barracks but no fraternizing. that held up for about three weeks and then we got to meet them. There was a building called Arnold Hall on the base and dances were held there.” My mother loved to dance she was only five foot two, very short and so she found out that dancers needed to be really tall, but she still always loved to dance so we always hear about the dances. “So, dances were held there. the local girls came, and we thought it was unfair that we had to wear uniforms but at least we got to wear our dress shoes, and not our little Abner shoes those were high-top leather boots and the only ones I could get in my size were brown. I spent the whole time trying to dye them black, even the soles.” Let’s see and then �they talked about …” There was a nice chapel near our barracks for service of all religions. our barracks got a little landscaping while we were there, so we put a few bushes around in place and we found some white stones left over from the building so in our free time we spelled out our training group was which was the seven- three seven zero zero WAF training group. she was in flight 2222 and she never got to see a gun. “I almost got to go for a parachute training and gas masks I have a nice picture of myself with it on, but weather was wrong for the test, and I didn't argue about it. Mostly we learned military protocol ranks insignias and how to salute and how to hurry up and wait, with a smile on your face. We also got to parade just once, and I was in the back.” Because she was the short one. “They started out with the tall ones and worked their way down to us shorties, this was Armed Forces Day May 17, 1952.” She does go on about drill instructors, “so our DI the drill instructors were tough, but they were nice.” Which was a different story from what I heard from my father who was in the Marines. “Sergeant King and Corporal Caboose did a great job teaching us to work together. I made good friends there, women from all over the United States.” She got to see the Alamo while she was there. “and then it was test time, my tests showed me to be a candidate for air traffic controller. they can't- I can't imagine why, my eyes would have gone crazy with that little screen. fortunately, they needed teletype operators and a group of us were transferred to Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyoming” So from there she goes on to Wyoming. (14.35) Interviewer: Alright does she- did she tell you anything else about the training in San Antonio or life in San Antonio that wasn't covered here? �She always told me about, during basic training, you had your- your dresser and everything had to be folded up perfectly in the same way and so there were always inspections and everything was expected to be in order the same way, and she said that it was that discipline that really helped her later on in life, to learn how to do things correctly, not ask questions, follow orders. Interviewer: Did you say what happened if something was out of order? (15.18) You know she didn't. She just always stressed that pantyhose had to be exactly this size and this side of the dresser and everything else had to be perfect. So, my mom- my mom always set a high bar for herself and I think that she saw that as a challenge is to, to do her best and to get as far as quickly as she could in the service, so... and she made sergeant within about a year so… Interviewer: And she was referring to sort of the-the problem of what kind of shoes you wore and having to wear you little Abner. Now at this point where they, was the uniform- did the uniform have a skirt, or were they wearing slacks, or do we not know that or is there pictures of her? The only pictures that I saw of her were the- she was wearing a skirt. Yeah, when she was in her- was in her dress uniform. �Interviewer: Yeah okay which is likely what you’d wear if you were going to the dance too. Right right, you know we're talking the early 50s. Interviewer: The early 50s yeah but still you, you can't wear a party dress or something like that. Yes, oh yeah but- but the women that were in the service were required to wear the uniforms were women coming from off the base we're able to just you know- casual. Interviewer: Right okay alright so then let's then move on now to, to Wyoming here and Warren Air Force, what's going on here? Okay and that's- I was really impressed with because here's a woman going into the Air Force and she had never flown in an airplane before. “So, a group of us were transferred to Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne- Cheyenne, Wyoming we flew in a DC-3 to Denver Colorado. it was my first ride in a big airplane. All I could see were flames coming out of the engine. Later I got to sit in the jump seat when we landed at Denver. Your first landing on that tiny little ribbon was very scary, I didn't leave the landing strip was wide enough until we touched down and I began to breathe again, but it was a thrill I'll always remember.” And she always loved to travel, she loved to fly. “So, we were bused to Francis E Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne this was an old port dating from the Indian Wars. We went from a new building that had four to a room, to a hundred-year-old brick building there were about 50 of �us in one long room. They had coal heat and it looked like it had never been cleaned. it was a long building divided in the middle; guys were on one side gals on the other side with the hall doors that were sealed in between. Showers we were in the basement and you also washed your clothes there, but it was not all work and no play. She had a little redheaded friend, Joy from Georgia who woke up one morning to snow. She had never seen snow and got so excited that she ran out of the out the door in her pink pajamas. She laid down in the snow and she threw snow in the air much to the delight of the other half of the building they were hanging out the windows who would ever had had screens- window screens in the wild wild west.” So, after that then they got down to study and this was an interesting, like a pivotal point in- in my mom's training. She said, “we settled down to study, most of our class were old friends from basic training. along the way I caught strep throat and had to break down and just go to the sick bay. They promptly put me in the hospital, it seemed like another girl had gotten the same thing and it developed into rheumatic fever. So, I was not allowed to even raise my head. the vampire came regularly to suck my blood. I recovered quite nicely but that ended my short career in giving blood they didn't want any more. Of course, I was a week behind in school, so I was rewarded with a whole new classroom of men.” She was the only woman in the- in the class. “They knew that I was coming, and they had their jackets and ties on as befitted the occasion. They weren't too thrilled as the instructor had made it clear that there would be no bad language and no bad jokes, there was going to be a lady present. My how times have changed. my first surprise came when the instructor called out ‘TOLLEY.’ Behind me I heard a man say ‘here’ and the place was dead quiet. I turned around and he was a very black man.” My mom was very very pale English background. “His name was Andy and that had come before Evelyn in the- the roster I just said, ‘well hello cousin’ and everyone let out a laugh and �applauded we got to be good friends the next few weeks. I really buckled down to study as I'm sure that they thought that a woman couldn't do the work, but I did well, and I moved up to corporal from my hard work.” So, you were talking about integration and that story just… (20.32) Interviewer: Right now, so was this simply a training assignment there or was she going to actually have a regular job on that base? It was, it was no, it was a training assignment and then from there she was assigned to go to Washington D.C. to the Pentagon. Interviewer: Okay now what else does she have to say here about, about Wyoming? Social life: “so we also had a social life there I have the match box covers to prove it, and no I did not smoke. The club Araby in Cheyenne was our favorite bar, and no I didn't drink, but we used to gather there. we- once we decided it was summertime it was May in Wyoming and the Sun was warm. The group of us went to a lake and stretched out on our towels to get some Sun, I fell asleep laying on my stomach.” And my mother is very very very pale. “So, I got the worst sunburn ever, my back was blistered, and my friend Joy put some face cream on it and that really set it afire. My uniform was starched and there were some mighty uncomfortable days, but you couldn't take a day off from- from a non-military injury so I just survived” So it's interesting my father had also written his story and my mother really talks about the social side of it. The view from from being a woman as opposed to my father in �the marines, where its- you know what his assignments were and- and how he got there and such. (22.00) Interviewer: So, what was she actually learning to do there? Does she- does she ever tell you anything about the physical side? To tell teletypes she learned the communications to reading the teletypes which is what she ended up doing in the Pentagon. Interviewer: okay and had she known how to type before she went in or? Yes, yeah, she learned it in high school and then when she worked for the newspaper she also… she also did that. Interviewer: Okay she had some meaningful preparations for doing this that probably helped with her speed and a few other things. Yes Interviewer: Aright, now did she, do we have any more about that or? �No and then- and then when she was done with the training there, she had a very short leave she was able to go from Wyoming backup to Madison, South Dakota, see family for a short while. And she does talk about- she does talk about the change, let's see... no I think that's- that's when she went back again but she had a very very short time and she was put on a bus in a train in Sioux Falls and she made her way over to, to Washington DC. Interviewer: Okay so now what's her next assignment? (23.18) Her next assignment she was living on base in Fort Myer in Arlington. Right next to the Arlington Cemetery and then she was assigned to go to the Pentagon and work in the- the communications and let’s see, she does mention... “I was assigned to be a tape relay center as a communication specialist. I was the only one of my group to go there, some went to Air Force Andrew, Andrews Air Force Base and some were sent stateside to a station called JEEZ, ‘Jezz,’ and they had to go through JEZ to get into the JEV where I worked and you had to pass through the security twice to get into the hall and the bathroom. Once I was at JEV this was the overseas communication. I worked at a teletype machine, just imagine a computer six feet wide- four feet- six feet high and four feet wide and nearly that deep. There was a keyboard, but you didn't have a screen. Everything was done on a perforated tape which you would read by knowing what series of punches meant. We could send messages about work that was... and that was a printout. I got some proposals that way and a lot of nonsense, never a dull moment. In my case the military communications were scrambled or coded. You had to have top-secret clearance to work there. Can't you just see the military guy wandering �around my hometown of Madison asking questions about my character, but I guess my character was okay and my family's too. A friend of mine was Polish and her parents were immigrants, she did not get clearance because she had so many relatives overseas that could be intimidated. I love the work, but the schedule was something else we worked eight-hour shifts for eight days. Going in at 3 p.m. and getting out at 11:00 and then we had three days off. then we went back on a different shift from the 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Another three days off and back on the 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. shift. Fortunately, we were young, and I learned to fall asleep at any time. I often had to stay late if top-secret messages were coming in because I was responsible for it.” My mother always told me that she was not able to talk about what she did with her job in the Pentagon until, until she wrote this. This is the first time that I had learned what she did. “In October of 52 I was made honor flight from my Squadron, it came with a very nice letter from Major Schultz. I also was selected in November, but his letter was shorter, but with the same sentiments.” So she was talking about, she was in charge of the teletype information coming in from Africa especially, and she said that there werewhen the people on the other end found out there was a woman receiving it that's when they would get, she would, it was ticker tape that was called throwaways, and those were the proposals and then ‘would you wait for me until I get back’ and you know ‘six more months and I'll be coming home, would you wait for me at the train station?’ So, she said those were throwaways because she just got rid of them really quickly so that nobody would know. But the information that she would get would be if someone was injured or someone was killed and then she would have to make sure that that information was passed on to the correct branch of service so that families could be notified. She said it was very hard, sometimes she would see a name that she knew, and they weren't, they weren't just �names she just always thought you know this is somebody's brother, you know somebody's son, and so it always- it always affected her. (27.35) Interviewer: Okay of course, I guess most of the- the place where most people would be getting killed at that point would have been Korea, but she was getting stuff from Africa. Now were these relays via Africa that she would... So, something from the station being sent in Africa? Yes, yeah from a station in Africa yeah. Interviewer: I'm not sure that we had a whole lot of personnel in Africa. Not much, no. Interviewer: But I guess there were some. She had mentioned some of the places that she... okay, “you were sending messages to the guys in Africa or Korea.” Interviewer: Okay or Korea. �Yes “the messages were called throw always because you wanted to get rid of them before somebody saw the message they came from the lonely guys and when they knew there was a girl at the other end, they were likely to propose.” So... Interviewer: Okay but I think then that we've got Korea there in the mix of things and that's gonna be where the casualties come from. Right right. (28.42) Interviewer: Alright so what else is she telling us about life in Washington then and what she's doing? Washington was just a wonderland for her she came from a very small Midwestern town, you know 4,000 people. People really didn't leave and now she's in Washington DC, she's in the air force and all the monuments and the government was there and- and so when sheshe went back- she went back home and then she said that she went back to- to Washington DC after the- after her time in Cheyenne she went back. Interviewer: Yeah. Yeah and she said when she first got there, she just decided to be a tourist, and she went to all the monuments. She went and did most of the monuments by herself a few times she got �the- the tours, which shows her independence you know that she didn't she was not - she was not a coward in any way. She was really on the leading edge of everything. So, she let's see she went to see a lot of the monuments, she said she took a picture of just about every, every monument that there was. “So, I spent my first few days after reporting to work of the Pentagon as a serious tourist. I think I photographed every statue in the city and there were a lot, and every building; the White House, the Capitol, the Washington Monument, the National Gallery of Art, Jefferson Monument, even the gates to the bridge that led to the Lincoln Memorial and to Arlington Cemetery. Of course, I went to see Lee's mansion and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and I wandered through the cemetery, which was a very peaceful place.” So, she was, her barracks were on one side of the cemetery and then my dad actually when he made it to Washington DC he was on the other side of the cemetery. (30.51) Interviewer: And did she say much about the people that she worked with or the set up in her office or anything else like that or? She mentioned the security, “the- the Pentagon was a huge maze and I knew how to get to my work, but when it came to wandering the halls I remembered the old story; there was a bird Colonel that had wandered off and was never seen before, so the rumors went. At night we would go to the upper floor to get some food the escalators had stopped so you just ran up and down them. A little snack bar that we went to was not really a place to dally. The tables were little rounds that- that were on tall pedestals, you stood at them and ate quickly. You had been standing most of the time at work, especially when you were sending the messages to the guys �in Africa or Korea.” So, she said that there was security, you had security going when you left your job and when you when you came back. So not, not really not much except for the weird schedule that she had. My father, by the time they met, he was trying to get used to that schedule and being available when she was, and he had a car as she didn't and so he would come and pick her up, you know in the middle of the night or whatever. To make sure that that she was safe and didn't have to take public transportation. (32.27) Interviewer: Okay so what else has she got in her story, that we haven't brought in yet? I think the- the change that went on. She was able to go back home for Christmas. Interviewer: Right. And so, she got there, and she said that she called her folks when she got into Sioux Falls and they came to- to get her. “It was so good to be home with family at Christmas but afterwards I realized that I had found a whole new life with my new friends. My old friends were still gossiping about everyone and none seemed to aspire much except for getting married and that was not for me.” Those are famous last words because she- she went home at Christmas time and at New Year's Eve she met my father and they were married three months later. So, “she broke off- she permanently broke off her on-again, and off-again boyfriend and headed back to DC.” So, I think she did a lot of growing, she was starting to �see the world, she was recognized for the talents that she had and she, she loved it. It was just her pace. (33.44) Interviewer: It also kind of parallels what I get from a lot of male veterans I mean some of the Vietnam guys, and certainly the both men and women who've been in the service more recently. They talked about coming back, and you know their friends from high school are still playing video games or they're doing whatever it was that they were doing, and now there's this whole other set of experiences that they have that these people don't understand. And a whole other life that was out there. Yeah meeting people from all over, she had mentioned that about when she was down in at Lackland, just she met people from Hawaii and from Georgia and she was the only one from South Dakota, the only woman but she said you know just people all over. She said her friend from Hawaii tried to teach her how to hula dance and she said she could never quite get it, she can do the dancing, but the hula was just a little bit hard for her. But she talked about her world was just opened up by meeting all these people from all over. Interviewer: Do you have any senses or how the people that she worked with treated her? Now basically the, the major real good things about her or whatever but any other sense of that? (34.56) �Everything that I get was all respect you know she worked really, really hard I think she tried to prove that a woman could do this job and so I don't know if she had that chip in her shoulder like you know I've got to prove it or something, but everything was respectful. I never got the the image that that she was just a bobble, you know just because she was a woman, and I think that- and especially at that time, I don't think they put too much value in women's service you know so, but she just always talked that they were all respected you know. Interviewer: Well it was the kind of job where good the way you were describing it you really couldn't afford to make mistakes, like you can't see what you're typing. So getting it right and getting it right matters, so if you've got somebody in there who's coming in and getting it right anybody who's in charge of that might be very happy, hence the promotion. And he did make the Honor Flight and making sergeant very quickly she was very pleased with that and I've got a feeling like my grandparents were probably very fearful you know that she's going off into this big world and, but she was doing really well. (36.20) Interviewer: Alright so now we've gotten to the point in her story here where she's gone home for Christmas and now, she comes back. Yes, yeah so, she- she had just gotten back, and it was right after Christmas and she was told by her friends you know you get lonely or something we can go out and do something. �So, this is where her life really changes, if it hadn't changed before. So okay, “I had lots of time leave time, so I went home for Christmas.” When she came back, oh this is how she, right before she went back, she was told that if she wore her uniform and she went to the train station or the bus station, if they had room, they would let her on... well she didn't get on, she didn't get on. There were higher-ranking people. So, she finally came back to the base and she still had her uniform- uniform on, so her friends were going up to, to Marine headquarters and “I was on the other side of Arlington Cemetery from Fort Myer I went a long uniform and all. I imagined that I stood out a bit at the slop shoot.” Which was the name of the NCO there. “But I had a good time and then hopped on a bus over to Andrews base again I wasn't the only one waiting. Finally, there was one other guy that said that if we chipped in on gas, he would drive all the way to, to the- to the west. He lived in Oklahoma, so there were six of us, two guys and four girls and it was a wild trip. Heavy heavy snow storms all the way. Dropped one girl off at Indiana and then I left in Kansas City for the train station.” So, she went home she realized the changes, broke it off with her on-again, offagain boyfriend. And so, her parents sent her on- a on a train back to, to Washington. So, “I got in on New Year's Eve and some of my marine friends said that if I got lonely for them to head back to DC, so my WAF friends and I headed out to the slop shoot and we were going to celebrate New Year's Eve. My good friend Whitey came in with a guy I had never seen him before but apparently he had seen me.” Because he had seen her before Christmas when she was trying to head out. “My notorious trip to the marine bar with the Air Force uniform was apparently made a good impression, and now I'm glad that I did it. Whitey's friend was called Buck Buckingham family called him Dick, but his Marine buddies called him Buck and I was impressed with this man. I had not slept for a long time, so I think I wasn't really a ball of fire, �but I had a good time, but that was just the beginning. So, buck called the next day and I think mental telepathy had something to do with that” She was probably sitting in her barracks hoping that he would call. “And then life was a whirlwind. In January he drove the float for Michigan, his home state in the inaugural parade for Eisenhower who was elected president. He looked great in his dress blue uniform, but the collar emblem literally wore a hole in his neck, because I worked multiple shifts Buck would pick me up at work, he worked days so the schedule was getting pretty rough on him. His commanding officer suggested that he should just marry me so that the young marine could get some sleep and he did. He proposed at Great Falls Virginia in February 53. A group of us requisitioned some chicken and some tools from the mess hall and we had a picnic in February. we were married in March of 1953 in the church in- in Arlington and I lived off-base. I made sergeant in April of 53. I then got a medical discharge because I was pregnant with my first child, Bruce, and so ended an exciting life in the Air Force and I went on to have an even more exciting life being married to Buck.” So, at that time if you became pregnant, you got an honorable discharge, so my mom said that she tried hiding the pregnancy for, for quite a while and she said finally being nauseous and not feeling well and starting to show. and she said then they you know, they gave her the honorable discharge, but she said it was really hard, she really wanted to continue on and she loved what she loved, she loved what she did. (41.10) Interviewer: So, this is well before the year of pregnancy uniforms and a lot of other things that they have now. �Right, and it's interesting that both my mom and my dad were in the service when they got married, but they decided to not wear their uniforms for their wedding. And I've asked several times “you know but you were in the service when that be you know great?” And they said that they wanted the wedding to be separate from the service so that when they looked back at the pictures, they would see the wedding, rather than oh we were just in the service. Interviewer: okay now did she tell any other stories about life in Washington or stuff that she did there or the Pentagon that haven't been covered here? Of her time in the service? (41.56) Interviewer: Yeah. She did mention that when she decided that she was going to marry my dad and she sat down with her commanding officer, and she said that he- he first had that commanding officer you know asking questions, and then he turned into that dad figure. “Are you sure you want to marry this man? You've not known him for very long. Your lives are very very different.” My mother came from a very, very small town, farm girl didn't really travel much. She was third born out of four kids. My father grew up in Detroit, very, you know busy place. He was the oldest of three boys, and to have these two people come from such diverse backgrounds to meet in Washington, on New Year's Eve. Married three months �later, and when my mom passed away, they were almost married 60 years. So, I think a lot of it has that, because of the military training that they had, was to, that discipline you know that working together it's a team and they were always a team. Interviewer: Alright now did she work it all out outside the home after they were married or? No, my brother Bruce came along nine months after after they got married and then they moved back to Detroit because my dad had an opportunity for a job there. And then I came along and then my younger brother. So, my mom she didn't work outside the home she worked hard enough inside the home, but she was always on that cutting edge she was the mom that was skateboarding when skateboards first came out. She was the mom that had a computer before the rest of us had a computer, because she was so she just loved being on the edge. She loved being different, she loved, she loved being independent and she was very, very involved as a mom. And it was... she kind of showed us how to think outside of the box and to always- not be afraid to step out and do something different. (44.25) Interviewer: Okay and so then where, you said a little bit about this but it's kind of a good way to close out here. I mean ultimately how do you think that military experience affected her, how did it help shape her? I think it opened her world, going from a very, very small farm community to seeing huge cities. Being involved in the Pentagon. Meeting important people, people seeing her worth. �I told you that she was five foot two she always told me TNT comes in small packages and that was her. She was she was always on the cutting edge of doing things. I think the discipline you know that she learned in- in basic training. In our home, my dad was very much the- the more stricter, you know parent but my mom still expected big things of us. So, she- she also you know had that discipline too. I think it just opened her world and it was something that she was always able to say with pride you know that she was in the Air Force. Obviously, my dad would get recognition because he was, he was a marine he was a man, but he was always the first one to point out that mom made sergeant before he did so it was something that he was very, very proud of. (46.01) Interviewer: Alright yeah well it makes for a unique story. Thank you very much for coming in and thank you very much.

His father was a blacksmith, working with horses and similar work. During World War I his father did not register to fight, he went before the judge and his father told him that he couldn‟t fight his countrymen. They were of German descent. There were three kids in the family. (02:29) Joseph joined the National Guard prior to the war began. His brother was the first sergeant and he wanted him to join, so Joe signed up at age fourteen. His brother covered up the fact that he was underage. (04:04) National Guard (04:10)        Joseph was given a rifle that was from World War I and was so rusted that it could not be cleaned. As a punishment, Joe had to stay every night and clean all the rifles. During an inspection by the General at their armory on Michigan Avenue, Joe pulled a prank by placing a blank shell into one of the rifles that he was cleaning. When the shell was found, the captain in charge of Joe knew it was him. (07:21) After that, Joe was labeled a trouble maker. While at Camp Grayling for summer training, they had a little Italian man that was called the „chow hound‟ and after he was done eating he would go around and eat people‟s desert. Joe was told not to eat his desert because they put CC pills (Army issued laxatives) in it. The man was sent to the hospital, and they had to tell how many pills were in it. Joe told them “Six pills in each desert”. (09:30) „Bunking‟ was a practice done by the senior men to the junior. They come in the middle of the night and flip their bunks. This was usually done after some drinking. Joe was bunked once, and the second time he was ready and awake with his bayonet out. They later came back and bunked him a second time, but they never came back after that. (11:47) A staff sergeant would wake him up at night to go on watch by shaking his stomach. After the second time, he came up swinging and just missed his chin. He grabbed him by the toes after that. (14:20) His unit was mobilized in October 1940 and sent down to Louisiana to train. Joe was still in high school then and had to stay and finish tenth grade. After his unit was federalized, he became a civilian and was later drafted into the Army. The Regular Army (15:38)  He was in the honor guard, and whenever all the VIP‟s came in like President Roosevelt and the Russian leaders they had to greet them in full uniform. �        He was also able to function as the staff driver for the officers and other visitors. Joe was 19 when he was drafted in 1942 or early 1943. Since he already went through basic training while in the National Guard, he was sent right to an elite military police unit that was training in Fort Custer. (17:49) Part of that training was to get up at five in the morning and run around the drill field. They weren‟t supposed to do that before breakfast, but they did. After he left Fort Custer, they were sent to Miami Beach, which Joe enjoyed very much. While conducting training they were sitting under a coconut tree and one fell and hit a man in the head and knocked him out. They did not conduct any more training under coconut trees after that. (19:13) They stayed at the Park Central Hotel when they were in Miami. Each room had about six men, since he was the biggest guy there; he took the bunk by the window. Joe was having MP training there. Overseas (21:33)              Joe was sent overseas and it took 13 days by boat. It was a liberty ship and 3,000 men all sailed on the same ship. There was a constant line for food; it ran all the way around the ship. To skip the line, he put on his MP uniform and was able to cut right through. Joe was with the 1250th MP Company. (23:28) During the crossing, Joe never got used to the rough water. They had swells that were so high, they were told to stay away from the railings because if you fell off they wouldn‟t stop and pick you up. Because the shower facilities on ship used salt water, Joe and some other men found that rainwater collected on the deck in bins and they bathed there in fresh water rather than use the salt. They sailed as part of a convoy, and they didn‟t see any U-boats, but he knew they were out there. (25:22) The first place they landed was in Scotland. That is where he got his first taste of the English language. After landing in Scotland, they took a train to their base that was thirty miles from London. He was apart of a detachment that had to greet all the VIP‟s that landed there. Because of that, he was given good treatment. As a staff driver, he was a favorite because he drove 70 miles an hour when the speed limit was 60. (27:33) Driving to London once, he doubled over the steering wheel because of a pain in his side. He later found out that it was his appendix and he had to have surgery. After three days, you couldn‟t even tell that he had any problems at all. (29:29) Joe was driving his motorcycle on a gravel road and lost control and drove down into a deep ditch. He walked a quarter mile through the ditch to find a way out. He hurt his knee in the accident and he was continuously told that it would heal. After that he patrolled in a Jeep. (31:41) On his patrols, he had four small towns that he was in charge of. He liked to patrol by himself, because then he could stop in each tavern and talk and joke with the people. He was looking for G.I.‟s that were out of line in the towns. �    He once found a lieutenant and captain that were giving a bar owner trouble. He told the two to cool it and they tried to argue with him. He threatened to take away their flight pay, and the two quieted right down. (34:18) Joe never had much trouble while on patrol. When Joe was in a pub, two Polish soldiers were there talking. Then they spoke in polish and Joe answered them. He learned Polish when he was three or four. As a staff driver, he drove high ranking officers which had very nice cars to drive. (36:30) Royal Air Force Duty (38:19)             Joe got a duty assignment with the Royal Air Force (RAF) chasing prisoners. While on patrol, he found some prisoners that they were looking for. He forgot to load his .45 pistol and the prisoners knew it. He pulled the slide back and put a round in the chamber by hand. He yelled at the men to come back, but they laughed at him. They came back after he threatened to shot them. (42:02) When he came back to base, he forgot his gun was loaded and he went to turn it back in and accidentally fired two shots into the ceiling of the guard shack. Joe‟s CO had just received a compliment from the commanding general about how nice the guard shack was and that it did not have any holes in the roof. (44:47) He was attached to the 9th Air Force. Each man in the unit was given a presidential unit citation for meritorious service. Joe got three or four battle stars on account of their bombing missions. (46:15) Joe was coming back from London once driving a staff car going about 80 or 90 mph when he blew the engine. The mechanic that came to help him was the prisoner that he almost shot. It turned out that the engine had no oil in it. (48:50) While serving on the honor guard, he saw President Roosevelt and others. The men that did this duty were supposed to be the best, later a man came up to him and told him that he had two different shoes on. (50:30) When Joe was sitting eating supper, a plane came in for a landing. Joe said “It‟s Charlie!” (Charlie was the name for the Germans). They ran out there and found out that it was a new pilot and he thought he was in Belgium. At the Emergency Landing Strips, they had lines of fuel oil along the field. They lighted the two sides up when a plane was coming in and they called it FIDO (Fog Dispersal) (53:00) A B-24 came in for a landing once and went to the end of the field and crashed. Everyone on board was dead. They hadn‟t been killed during the crash but were dead while on board. Joe said it was a miracle the plane landed the way it did. For rifle training, Joe used a Springfield and he qualified six times. The sergeant told him he didn‟t qualify but he had six rounds in the bull‟s-eye. He qualified for rifle expert that day. (57:42) While in London, he stopped at a restaurant that served meat. It was one of the few around that still did because it was so hard to find. Another soldier came up to him and told him that this neighborhood used to have a lot of cats, but they were all gone. (59:15) Bombs from the Germans would often hit London while he was there. �      He was treated very well by the English people. He felt no resentment from them about his money or privileges as an MP. (1:01:10) Joe ran a private enterprise while there which involved a three penny piece, which was smaller than a dime but it was solid silver. He had a Jewish friend that told him to drill some holes in the coins to make bracelets. They made them up and sold them to a jeweler and they made money hand over fist. (1:04:36) Also for some fun, he would pick up .50 cal rounds when he had to go to crash sites. They used to put these rounds in a stove and wait for them to go off. When they would go off, they would yell “Air Raid!” and watch people just start running. (1:06:55) When the Germans surrendered, Joe was in England. When he flew home, he went in a B-17 that had no windows. He would go up to the nose of the plane because it was the only warm place. On his way home, they stopped in Africa, and they were warned not to touch the plane when they were getting off because it was so hot out. (1:09:33) He was asked by the pilot and co-pilot to come up to the cockpit. They wanted to take a break so they told Joe to sit in there and steer the plane while they were gone. Back to the States (1:10:58)         Joe made it back to the United States in 1946. Most of his time was spent in England. With stops in Marseille, France and Africa. They landed in Detroit, Michigan. And he eventually made it back to Grand Rapids. He went back to his truck driving job, but they had replaced him. They made him a mechanic instead. Joe was also married later. (1:13:32) All his records were destroyed by Vietnam protesters, and when he put in for disability he was unable to get help. Joe‟s brother was injured on D-Day plus 59 and he got out as a Major. He was quite the singer back then and when his brother was injured he made his wife a record and the song was named „Josephine‟. After she died he found out that she was in love with him. (1:16:25) Looking back, when he first left Grand Rapids, he had seven or eight of his girlfriends there to see him off. Joe‟s girlfriend from England followed him home and they were married.

"Native American Community Services" - Our new program name - ¢ .· h NATIVE AMERICAN· COMMUNITY SERVICES In February, we requested for your suggestions for a new program name. 17 names were submitted and reviewed by a panel of 5 community members; Bill Dunlap, Frank Murphy, Sally Olsen-Kee, John and Olive Pigeon. They earnestly talked for about 2 hours placing the best interest of our programs at heart. From that point, together they recommended their top three choices for the NAPS/IFR/HH staff to decide the final name. Upon a unanimous vote, our staff selected the "NATIVE AMERICAN COMMUNITY SERVICES" as the identifying program name. This was supported by a Resolution approved by the Inter-Tribal Council of MI, Inc., Board of Directors, with the approving vote on May 10, 1999 (ITC is our parent organization that provides fiscal and program management). "What does this mean for the "old" program names?" The program names, "Native American Prevention Services" and "Indian Family Resources" will slowly phase out as we become more familiar in using the new name. The new service entitled, "Mmin-nuh-gah-dah - Healthy Heart program," will remain the same but under the heading of Native American Community Sen;ices. "How does the new name impact our programming?" I hope the new name will indicate the existing unity of all services offered by our programs - prevention and intervention services go hand-in-hand as it relates to the health and well-being of individuals, families, and the community. In addition, I trust you will see that we the staff will endeavor to continue to offer culturally-relevant community-based programming for youth, adults and our elders that help us fulfill our overall program goals and objectives. So join us in the effort of calling our services: Native American Community Services!! A special note of appreciation to Bill, Frank, Sally, John and Olive for your kind dedication to our programs. -Lora Church ••• ••••• • •••• ••• �Turtle Talk Newsletter Page 2 Native American Community Services ~ Staff: ~ Lora Church Program Director Hunter Genia Caseworker/Wellness Educator Renee Dillard Prevention Specialist/Educator Native Artists Sighted ........

"Jn early life, I was deeply hurt as I witnessed the grand old forests of Michigan, under whose shades my forefathers lived and died, falling before the cyclone of civilization as be/ore a prairie /ire. Jn those days, I traveled thousands of miles along our winding trails, through the unbroken solitudes of the wild forest, listening to the songs of the woodland birds as they poured forth their melodies from the thick foliage above and about me. Very seldom now do I catch one familiar note from these early warblers of the woods. They have all passed away .... I now listen to the songs of other birds that have come with the advance of civilization ... and, like the wildwood birds our fathers used to hold their breath to hear, they sing in concert, without pride, without envy, without jealousy alike in forest and field, alike before wigwam or castle, alike before savage or sage, alike for chief or king." - Simon Pokagon, Potawatomi Chief from The Wisdom of the Native Americans �Turtle Talk Newsletter Page 3 Anishinabek Youth leadership Council Update! This schedule may adjust as we approach or get into the summer months. If you have any question please contact Renee Dillard or Jennifer Jones at 458-4078, Migwech! By Autumn McDonald Ahnii! My name is Autumn McDonald and I'm a member of the Anishinabek Youth Leadership Council, here in Grand Rapids. At our last meeting, we talked about having a monthly update in Turtle Talk, this way we can let everyone know what we're up to these days. First of all, on April 28, we elected new officers. Everyone who was nominated went through an interview first. Then, the other members rated their interview and gave them points (great idea, Hunter!). Naturally, the person with the most points won (on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best and l poor) • So, our new officers are: President - Kristy Dayson; Vice President Heather Green; Treasurer - Amanda Pigeon; Secretary - Alec Saboo. And if you see Rebecca Williams, congratulate her on an excellent year as President. Some of you may have noticed that there is a little bit of painting going on. The Youth Council and Young Eagles (K-6) have gotten together with Candi Wesaw and designed a mural. An Anishinabe mural depicting our "Native Pride." We're painting every Monday through Thursday from 4 p.m. - 8 p.m. You're more than welcome to come down to West Middle and see what's going on, or maybe even help! Every year the Youth Council raises money and sends some of its members to the annual UNITY conference. So far we've been to Oklahoma City, Phoenix, and Washington D.C.. This year the conference will be held June 25-29, in Denver, Colorado. So when you see us, wish us luck. We'll try to have fun!! Last but not least, the Youth Council will have a booth at the pow-wow June 5&6 at Buffalo Ridge Ranch. We will be selling chips, pop, and candy to help shrink our deficit budget, just kidding. Come enjoy the pow-wow and say hi to us. If you would like to donate any food for our booth it would be greatly appreciated. Spirit Wind Recovery Lodge Mnidoo Noodin May 8th, a celebration for sobriety and a day to honor our mothers. Guest speaker Vic Visnaw of Flint, shared his story on the Red Road To Recovery. He was presented with an eagle feather for his twenty-two years of sobriety. Community member Joe Leo was also honored for his ongoing sobriety and the contribution he has made to the Indian community. The Grand River Singers helped to honor this event. A special thanks to the drum and singers. A traditional feast followed which honored our women for Mother's Day. The Anishinabek men cooked and served the meals. A giveaway followed the feast. Stories were shared and our people came together to celebrate one more day of sobriety in our community. Gene - Anishinabe in recovery SEWING Cl RCLE SCHEDULE By Renee Dillard As we come to the start of the Pow-Wow season we are closing the Sewing Circle until September. Don't panic as many people are still available throughout the community to assist you with those last minute details as you are getting ready for the pow-wow season. As expected, many new regalia have been created and as a result new dancers will be joining us this year in the dance circle. Some new regalia are adding new color to already dancing people. Many individuals have assisted the Sewing Circle over the past year. We will use this time to plan for next season and to focus on regalia and, as always, the traditional values that keep us in a healthy circle both at the pow-wows and in our daily lives. See The following is the schedule for the Young Eagles you in the dance circle! Youth Groups as they head into summer. Young Eagles K-6 Schedule ,A June 2: 6-8 p.m. June 23: "Big" Y.E.

Mark Sanford and I have been dreaming of the start. Finally we did receive a donated site which is just down the street from our office on Broadway Ave. We wanted to stay as close to traditional early gardening practices as possible, although we are reminded that we are living in a large city outside of village value systems every step of the way. One of the important outcomes is to create more opportunities for elders and young people to work together for one common goal, the harvest. This project ties together all generations of involvement from planting to harvest. One of our Native community elder has been approached to ask for a blessing before we plant. Another was asked for his interpretation of the Three Sisters Cjarden procedure, that will be included in poster form for the self-guided tour that another community volunteer is helping to create. We have hopes that the self-guided tour and openness to the general neighborhood community members will help us work towards a harvest in the fall. The youth will be guided throughout the summer for maintenance. Some traditional tools are being made to help the youth feel connected with their past and earn a healthy respect and value for food gifts through Mother Earth. The harvest will be given to community members who have a need for food. Also, after a brief visit with the elders at the Senior Meals they heard through the Indian grapevine that they too will benefit from the harvest. Many said they looked forward to real Indian com soup. It is my understanding from some elders in the Suttons Bay area that the original Indian com was all white. This is the seeds that have been searched out and found for this Three Sister garden project on the West side in the Cjrand Rapids Area. Look for more updates and information in Turtle Talk or talk to Mark and Renee of Native American Community Services on how you can get involved. Sponsored by: Native American Community Services Featuring: Traditional Native American agricultural tools Traditional Native American planting processes. Ways of reinforcing respectful relationship with the Earth. Project Goal: To create community (cross-cultural) involvement that will provide an opportunity for stress reduction and personal growth. Call Mark Sanford or Renee Dillard at Native American Community Services 616-458-4078. Gift Seeds traditionally grown in this area passed down through generations. �Page 5 Turtle Talk Newsletter Circle of Relatives We miss you! Our team has slowly been dwindling down. We know that there never seems to be enough time for all the things we do, yet we hope each one of us can make the time to meet. By now most of us have probably received a letter with the entire list of topics coming up and dates for the group. In this letter, the possibility of a new series on parenting or an educational workshop for later this summer was discussed. CIRCLE OF RELATIVES MEETS Every 2nd an_d .4th Tuesday of the month from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. at: WEST MIDDLE SCHOOL 615 TURNER NW/ROOM 35 GRAND RAPIDS The difference between the parenting series and the workshop format is how we want to split up our ideas or topics to be covered. With the parenting series, each idea or topic would be discussed on a given night. The workshop format would be a single day event where each idea or topic would have its own group or circle with set time schedules to sign up for. The best way we can describe it is to say that it would be like a gathering, but instead of vending booths, there would be different circles on various topics and activities. You would be able to sign up for the topic or activity that interests you the most throughout the workshop. Which do you prefer? Come and let us know!!

We eat out because it's easy, it's quick, and it's fun. But is it healthy? It can be, if you plan ahead and choose wisely. More and more people who eat out, want healthy food choices. Some are watching calories. Others want to keep their cholesterol under control or eat less fat. If you eat out a lot, you need to find ways to follow your meal plan as much as possible. Pick a restaurant with a variety of choices to increase your chances of finding the foods you want. Order only what you need and want. Know how to make changes in your meal plan in case the restaurant doesn't have just what 6 you want. Here's how to order: * If you don't know what's in a dish or don't know the serving size, ask. * Try to eat the same portion as you would at home. If the serving size is larger, put the extra food in a doggie bag before you start eating, or share some with your dining partner. *Eat slowly. * Ask for fish or meat broiled with no extra butter. * Order your baked potato plain, then top it with a teaspoon of diet margarine or vegetables from a salad bar. * If you are on a reduced-sodium diet, ask that no salt be added to your food. *Ask for sauces, gravy, and dressings "on the side."

Banks - Native American leader, teacher, lecturer, activist and author is an Anishinabe born on Leech Lake Indian Reservation in northern Minnesota. In 1968 he co-founded the American Indian Movement (AIJl.1) to protect the · traditional ways and treaties of the Narve American people. AIJl.1 participated in the occupation of Alcatraz Island where demands were made for all federal surplus property to be returned to Indian control. In 1972, the Trail of Broken Treaties across the US. to Washington D.C. called attention to the plight of Native Americans, resulting in the occupancy of the Bureau of Indian Affairs Office. In 1973, AIJl.1 spearheaded the move on Pine Ridge Indian Reservaii tion in South Dakota to oust corruption and the US. appointed chairman. This led to the occupation of Wounded Knee for 71 days. Banks was the principal negotiator and leader of the Wounded Knee forces. In addition to AIJl.1 advocate activities, Banks established the first spiritual run from Davis to Los Angeles in 1978 (now an annual event) and organized the Longest Walk from Alcatraz to Washington D.C. that same year. Banks also received the idea of traditional sacred running in 1978, when he began the Sacred Run. This international, multicultural event consists of participants joining Native American runners carrying the message of the sacredness of all life and of humankind's relationship to the planet, Mother Earth. Each year, Banks leads Sacred Runs. As of 1996, Banks has led runners over 58,000 miles through the United States, Alaska, Europe, japan, Canada, Australia and New Zeeland. In 1994, Banks led the four month WALK FOR JUSTICE (WF]) from Alcatraz Island to Washington D. C. to bring public awareness to current Native issues. Banks agreed to head the "Bring Peltier Home" Campaign in 1996 for executive clemency for political prisoner Leonard Peltier. Banks' autobiography Sacred Soul was published in japan in 1988 and won the 1988 Non-fiction Book of the Year Award. He has had roles in the movies wtlr Party,. llte Last oft!te .Mo!tteans., and lltunder!teart. A musical cassette · "STILL STRONG" featuring Banks' original work as well as traditional Native American songs was completed in ~ 1993 followed by a musical video in 1995. He can also be heard on other musical CD's: Peter Gabrial's "Les Musiques d~onde", Peter Matthiessen's "No Boundaries", WORX-FM's "Tim Hain & the Worx" and with Cherokee Rose.

The Sobriety Walk means so much to me, for it is a way we, as a community, can join together to support our brothers and sisters on the Red Road, as well as, support our families and loved ones whom have chosen to live alcohol and drug-free.

I really had a good time participating in the 7999 Native American Walle for Sobriety in Grand Rapids, Ml, meeting new people, ta/Icing, laughing all during the Walle.

"The sharing circle, prayer and testimonies." "Camaraderie and what it stands for." "The shade." "A good sense of gathering. Not just about money." 2. What was your least favorite part about the Walk? "None, except I didn't want to stop to retie my shoe!" "The heat - but you can't help that!"

After participating in the Walk, have you thought about make a new commitment towards wellness, a healthy lifestyle or being alcohol and drug-free. Yes or No. "Yes, to set a good example for Anishnabe youth." "Yes, a healthier lifestyle." "Yes. To live more healthy and happy."

Daniel Reid, author. What we mean here is sucrose, the white sugar reftned from cane or beet juice. Sugar is stripped of all its nutrients, vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, water, and other synergists. Sugar is not found in nature, it is a processed chemical. It suppresses the immune system by overloading the body with insulin. The overdose of insulin suppresses the release of grown hormone. The grown hormone functions as a regulator of the immune system. What happens is sugar leads to too much insulin, which suppresses growth hormone and your immune system. Theim~ mune system defends your body against ~~ disease. Since sugar is stripped of all nutrients it's seen as a foreign objects by our ~~ ~~~ immune system. At the same time sugar is depressing the immune system, the immune system needs to respond. Since sugar is devoid of all nutrients, it robs your body of their ~wn, stripping calcium, potassium and magnesium from your teeth and tissue, in order to get rid of it. We've always heard that eating too many sweets can rot your teeth. It's not so much from the contact with your teeth but the stripping of calcium from within them. Potassium, magnesium and calcium are needed for the proper running of the heart, sugar's stripping of these can be considered a major contributor of heart disease. Sugar continually leaches nutrients from your body, causing our body to feel hungry, depleted, and needing more food. You can get struck in an endless cycle of feeding and depleting, keeping insulin levels high over and over again, the end result is diabetes. On average people in the USA consume 130 pounds of sugar per person each year. Most people eat too much sugar for the body to use effectively. The excess energy is store away as fat or formed into cholesterol. Sugar is thus a major cause of arteriosclerosis and obesity as well. It is linked to violent behavior, hypertension, and learning impediments. Sugar has been banned in certain places worldwide. "Singapore in 1991 banned sugary -;}J soft-drink sales from all schools and youth centres, citing the danger that sugar poses to the mental and physical health of children." The;e are certain prisons that have taken out sugar and starche~ from their diets and the chronic violent behavior has remarkably been reduced. Alternative artificial sweeteners such as nutrasweet, aspartame, and sacarrin should be avoided at all costs. Aspartame not only causes individual sypmptoms, it can mimic entire syndromes! Things like chronic fatigue and immune deficiency syndrome, grand mal seizures, vision problems, hearing impairments, headaches, memory loss, slurring of speech, numbness, tingling, tremors, depression, irritability, aggression, anxiety, phobias, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, menstrual changes, weight gain, hair loss, urinary burning, excessive thirst, fluid retention, increased infection, cancer and even death. There are great nutritional alternatives for your sweet tooth. Nature makes them pure and unadultorated and you should keep them that way, things like honey, molasses, barley malt, fructose (found in fruits) lactose (from milk), and maltose (in grains) are all natural substances with nutritional value.

A class-action lawsuit is seeking to force the government to fix the accounting system and reconcile the 300,000 accounts. Lawyers for the account holders claim taxpayers could eventually be liable for billions of dollars in underpayments to the Indians. Minutes before the trial stated, government lawyers filed documents acknowledging that the Interior Department inadequately controls receipts and disbursement and doesn't provide regular reports and reconciliation of all accounts. "It is not surprising that a reformed trust system cannot spring up overnight," Justice Department lawyer Tom Clark the federal judge who is hearing the case. "It can't be done by a stroke of a pen." No one disputes that the government has mishandled the money for generations. The money primarily comes from lease revenue and royalties that the Interior Department holds in trust for individual Indians. Complex land ownership has made it difficult to track the accounts thousands of which are worth only a few dollars, and many records have been lost or destroyed over the years, officials say. Clinton administration officials contend they are working overtime to repair the system, but account holders say the efforts have been inadequate and halfhearted despite prodding from Congress. Over 150 years, there hasn't been an audit or reconciliation of Indian money," said Elouise Cobell a Blackfeet woman who is one of the five lead plaintiffs. The case is being heard by U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth, who earlier held Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt and Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin in contempt for their departments' delay in producing records for the lead plaintiffs. The lawsuit is being tried in two phases. The first will focus on finding the accounting system. The second will deal with reconciling the accounts.

Malloy and Lisa Heximer provided written and verbal responses to questions that had been posed by the Circle of Relatives. 35 people attended. An idea of creating a 11 Circle of Care11 is to address the need for collaboration on behalf of local Native children was put forth and the group agreed that this was a good idea. A planning meeting to better define what this will look like and how it should operate was scheduled for July 16, 1999 at 1 p.m. at Native American Community Services. Those who would like to bring their ideas are welcome to attend. Young Eagles Trip: Kalamazoo On June 23rd, the Young Eagles Youth group took a field trip to Kalamazoo. Ten young people and three chaperones participated in the excursion. The group traveled to the Kalamazoo Valley Museum where they viewed The Sky Legends of the Three Fires. The exhibit, which was shown in the planetarium, told the story of how the stars, milky way, and the big dipper were formed according to Native American legend. The stories, in the exhibit, were told by Larry Plamondon. The exhibit will be kept, by the museum, and shown on special occasions in the future. After lunch, at a local park, the group was given a tour of the Kalamazoo Aviation Museum. They saw airplanes from various branches of the armed forces. They also were allowed to play in simulated cockpits. The weather cooperated and a good time was had by all.

Despite many successful and innovative programs created by Indian housing leaders, the need still far outweighs the supply of housing---40% of the housing on tribal land has been classified as substandard, compared to 5.9% for the U.S. generally, and homeownership rates are far below those for other Americans. Speakers to Include Secretary Cuomo, Senators Inouye & Campbell, Others HUD Secretary Andrew Cuomo and Deputy Assistant Secretary for Native American Programs Jacqueline Johnson are both invited speakers for the Convention. Senator Daniel K. Inouye (D-HI) and Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R-CO), Vice Chair and Chair of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, respectively, are invited to speak. NAIHC has also invited the Bureau of Indian Affairs' Assistant Secretary Kevin Gover and Gover's Special Assistant and Acting Director of the BIA's Office of Economic Development Dominic Nessi to address conferees. Training to Focus on New Opportunities These are just a few of the training sessions NAIHC will offer: • Overview of the Environmental Review Process • Filing Your Annual Performance Report • Fiscal Management Issues • Policies & Procedures • Tribal Leaders' Role in Implementing NASHASDA • Mortgage Lending and Implementation • Fair Housing Training • Community Reinvestment Act--- Make Banks Listen • Indian Community Development Block Grant and CDBG • Drug Eiimination • Federal Loan Guarantee Programs • Indian Housing Plans HMDA Data Show High Rejection Rate for Native Americans American Indians were the only group that actually registered a decline in the rate of mortgage lending for home purchases for 1997, according to the Federal Financial Institutions Council. The overall rejection rate data showed that American Indians were rejected for conventional mortgages at a rate of 52%, compared to 26% for white applicants. New Hope through CRA, Loan Guarantees, Leveraging Federal Funds More and more Indian housing leaders are seeking to make new opportunities for homeownership available, providing housing through new sources and new partnerships. Some partnerships are fostered by utilization of federal loan guarantee programs, fair housing laws, and utilization of the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). Housing leaders innovative programs are leveraging federal funds to provide more home for more people. Indian Housing one of Top Ten Builders Nationwide With an estimated 12,000 homes starts per year, the Indian housing industry as a whole ranks among the top ten builders nationwide, and is largely untapped market. The Trade Show held in conjunction with the Convention will offer exhibitors a rare opportunity to share news about their goods and services with hundreds of Indian housing professionals in one central location. A limited number of booths are available through NAIHC's services. These include research, technical assistance, and training, as well as publication of Native American Housing News. NAIHC's cancellation policy will be in effect. To make hotel reservations call Sheraton Seattle at 800-204-6100 or 206-4475555. For more information about the Convention or Trade Show, call NAIHC at 202-789-1754 or 800-284-9165.

The beans and sunflowers will be planted in the next two weeks. We followed as closely as possible the i;eachings of Buffalo Bird Woman from her book, as well as, oral teachings from local people. We soaked the seeds first to give them a head start so this should help compensate for the late planting. The soil was blessed prior to the planting by Mr. Joe John and this blessing was attended by other elders and community members. Signs will be completed shortly to explain the project to the Community. The garden is located on Broadway Ave. between 5th and 6th street on the east side of the street.
