The vote approving the fund-
ing was six-to-five, yas divided
strictly along party lines, Re-
publicans for and Democrats
against. Several Democrats
claimed that the project was be-
ing improperly funded.
Leslie Morris (D-Third Ward)
read several communications
from present and former city
officials which suggested that
the origipal city expenditure for
construction and additional land
purchases, was intended to be
a loan, not an outright grant.
"THIS COUNCIL has the ob-
ligation to the taxpayer to re-
cover a part of the money put
into the airport in the form of
a loan," said Morris.
Councilman Jamie Keniwor-
thy (D-Fourth Ward) attempt-
ed to amend the resolution to
force the airport facility to re-
pay previous loans from the
city before any further con-.
struction could be undertaken.

COUNCIL defeated a resolu-
tion establishing a Senior Citi-
zens' Advisory Committee that
would have advised the Mayor
and Council on matters and is-,
sues regarding the needs, wel-
fare and objectives of Ann Ar-
bor's elderly population.
The original resolution was
written by Wendell Allen (R-
First Ward). That resolution
was tabled two weeks ago. May-
or Wheeler reworked the reso-
lution and offered it for con-
sideration yesterday morning.
R e p'u b 1 ican s attempted
to amend Wheeler's resolution,
which called for the chairper-
son of the advisory committee
to be appointed by the mayor,
so that the entire council would
appoint the chairperson, thus
giving Republicans control over
the choice, by virture of their
one vote majority on Council.
However the amendment was
defeated.
Council member Louis Belch-
er (R-Fifth Ward) said the re-
solution would be reworded and
reintroduced qt a later date.

ed in the spring," and is imme-
diately ready for planting.
"Most people plant kitchen
vegetables," he explains. "This
includes lettuce, tomatoes, car-
rots, cucumbers .- .
"There are also perennial
plots, which are not plowed in
the fall, where people can plant
things like strawberries and
melons.
"WE HAVE a tremendous
cross-section -of p e o p1l e," he
claims. "We have high income
people, old people. There's old-
people, low i n c o m e people,
young p e o p le, old people.
There's old-time gardeners and
people during it for the first
time.".
"This is my first year," said
Linda Koski, who gardens at
the Peace Neighborhood Center,
one of Project Grow's largest
areas of land.
"It's real nice," she added,
"but t don't know what I am
doing."
Most of the plots at the Cen-
ter are teeming with life, but
Koski's is almost barren. "I'm
a little late," she said.Pointing
to a tinysprout, she asked hope-
fully, "See my tomato plant;?
I have tomatoes, peppers, and
I'm trying some celery.
"PEOPLE ARE pretty friend-
ly," Koski said. "You see some-
body around, and they will tell
you what to do and give you
ideas."
For those who think maintain-
ing a garden is too much work,
consider this man who grows
for Lurie Terrace, a senior cit-
izens housing project.
"This man is 90 years old and
has three plots of land he farms
on," Nicholls said. "This is
equivalent to about 2,000 square
feet. A lot of people out there

themselves," Nicholls added.
"So, he grows for the people who
can't come out, and takes others
out there to grow."
Project Grow operates out of
the 'County Park Commission
Office. All its land is donated.
THE IDEA of using donated
land to garden on was initiated
by a group from the Ann Arbor
community in the early 1970's.
"People had a desire to gar-
den so they found donors and
took the land," explains Nic-
holls. The idea became more
popular, and Project Grow was
founded in 1972 to meet the in-
creased demand.
But the project. also has .its
problems.
"It is hard to get the-city to,
realize that gardening is recrea-
tion like any other," Nicholls
said of the city's negative re-
sponse to their request for sub-
sidy.
"In this country it hasn't been
seen as part of Parks and Rec-
reation. It's not a softball
team."
