Page 2- The Michigan Daily - Thursday, January 5, 1989 Local Salvation Army store closes BY FRAN OBEID Ann Arbor's Salvation Army Red Shield Store closed its doors Dec. 31, under an extension granted by Washtenaw County, which bought the building in 1987. A Salvation 'Army official said yesterday they hope to relocate in the city within a year. "The county wanted the property and offered us a fair price," said Sal- vation Army Capt. Roger Senn. "It was a bad location for us." Senn said the Salvation Army has been looking for a new location since July 1 and may consider build- mg a new store. Washtenaw County officials, who aid $440,000 for the building at 05 E. Ann St., plan to tear it down and use the property for county of- Tices. The Salvation Army was sup- posed to vacate the building in Oc- tober, but was allowed to operate until the end of the year. On the last day, officials said do- nations were "waist-high" since many people waited until the last minute to make donations to receive tax breaks for the end of the year. On average, about 100 people donate to the store daily, but offi- cials said at least twice that many donated on Dec. 31. Officials said about 50 people shop there daily for clothes, furniture and other items. Donations are distributed to other stores twice a night. "It was a central drop-off loca- tion... [we] could not keep up with the amount being donated," said Don McKee, business manager for the Salvation Army. Store manager Lisa Davis said, "A lot of people needed the store. From what the customers say, there is going to be a lot of people hurt by the closing. The customers even talked of petitioning." Many of the customers were el- derly lower-income people, as well as college students who often pur- chased furniture. "It will hurt the lower-income people, but I'm sure the city is glad it [the Salvation Army] is not going to be there anymore because the street people would sleep in the back, drink there and cause noise or go through the clothing dropped off at night," McKee said. Washtenaw County Commis- sioner and Board Chair Dillard Craiger proposed in September rent- ing the store to the Ann Arbor Shelter Association to use as a day shelter. "Someone has to make a move to help the homeless people." But due to asbestos present in the building, county officials said it is more cost efficient to remove the asbestos and tear down the building than to renovate it. "In December the commissioners passed a resolution to work with the Ann Arbor Shelter Association to find an appropriate alternative site for the [day shelter] program," said Washtenaw County Administrator Saul Cooper. The Ypsilanti Salvation Army store at 1960 E. Michigan Ave. will pick up donations from the Ann Ar- bor area until a new location is found. 1989 Candidates for Ann Arbor Mayor I PUZZLED ABOUT WEIGHT CONTROL? "~INGES 2 THE WEIGHT CONTROL CLINIC at THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Court papers made public in Pentagon fraud case ALEXANDRIA, Va. - A consultant under investigation in the Defense Department fraud case once left his car in the Pentagon parking lot so a federal employee he had paid $100 a week could place government documents in the trunk, newly released court papers showed yesterday. The papers search warrants and affidavits were made public as defense attorneys speculated that indictments in the nationwide investigation that began in September 1986 could be returned as early as tomorrow. Sharon Dibbley, spokesperson for U.S. Attorney Henry Hudson, said the federal grand jury meets today and tomorrow. She would not say whether Hudson expects indictments then, or when any plea-bargain arrangements might be disclosed. Some companies and their employees are known to be talking to the government about plea bargaining. Soviets may delay troops withdrawal from Afghanistan ISLAMABAD, Pakistan- The chief Kremlin negotiator on Afghanistan said yesterday he is not certain that Soviet troops will withdraw on schedule if Moslem guerrillas keep fighting the communist Afghan regime. Under a U.N.-mediated agreement, Soviet soldiers began leaving Afghanistan on May 15, 1988, half were out by Aug. 15 and the remaining 50,000 are to gone by Fe. 15. The guerrillas, not parties to the agreement, have continued the war. Yuli Voronstov, Soviet deputy foreign minister and ambassador to Afghanistan told reporters when he arrived in Islamabad yesterday: "If the cease-fire holds and there is no fighting in Afghanistan, then that's a very good situation for the Soviet forces." When asked what ,would happen to the withdrawal plans if the insurgency continues, he said, "We shall see, all of us. I don't know." 20 held hostage in restaurant LOVELAND, Colo. - A gunner who held 20 people hostage at a restaurant before being shot to death by police told a waitress to fetch his boots because "a good cowboy dies with his boots on." the woman said. As Wayne Strozzi, 35, hung on, mortally wounded, he shot to death another waitress. Another hostage was slain by police as he escaped through a bathroom window and fled the Riverhouse Restaurant during Tuesday's melee. Two police officers also were wounded by Strozzi during the incident, which began when the paroled drug offender, apparently angry that his estranged wife had begun dating another man, assaulted her at her home. He fled first to his own home, and then to the restaurant, where he held off police for more than an hour. Detroit murders down in '88 UNDATED- Homicide cases are fluctuating in Michigan's five largest cities, with family disputes and drugs often blamed fro the slayings, police officials from Warren to Grand Rapids said yesterday. Leading the state in homicides was Detroit, where 630 killings occurred in 1988, said Detroit Police Sgt. Christopher Buck. In 1987, there were 686 slayings, up from 648 in 1986. Flint had the state's second-highest number of slayings in 1988 with 43 homicides, followed by Grand Rapids with 26, Lansing with 11, and Warren with 10. Grand Rapids Police Lt. Victor Gillis said the city's district court hired a domestic-abuse advocate last year to help authorities control household fights before they become deadly. "The majority of these things occur privately between people; they're disagreements or arguments over money or a past relationship," he said. 9 0 { A NEW PROGRAM OFFERING AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO WEIGHT CONTROL OUR WINTER SESSION BEGINS JANUARY 15, 1989 PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED PLEASE CALL: 747-2722 CONNECT WITH THE FUTURE Now you're ready to take a big leap toward success.

He was appointed to chair the Michigan Corporations and Securities Commission in 1961. He spent one term in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1965 to 1967, but was not reelected. Clevenger was appointed in 1967 to head the Great Lakes Basin Commission, a federal board established to investigate pollution and other lake- related issues. Clevenger received a B.A. in 1949 from the London School of Economics and graduated from the Michigan Law School in 1952. Gerald Jernigan Party: Republican Jernigan, 45, is a Senior investment analyst at the University of Michigan. The incumbent mayor, Jernigan has been the Ann Arbor GOP chairman, a planning commissioner, and chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals. He has also served three terms on City Council, from 1982 to 1987. Jernigan was elected mayor in 1987, on the pledge to increase the power of city officials and redirect the council's focus towards more local issues. Jernigan has earned degrees in finance from Michigan State University and Western Michigan University. Mayor Continued from Page 1 chose to become candidates or public figures," Clevenger said. Clevenger said the present administration has not done anything to deal with the overcrowded land- fills. "Let's implement something, let's do something, let's get ready because down the line'our landfill will be higher than five ski moun- tains," Clevenger said. "Nothing is getting done now, and I don't under- stand why." Ann Arbor's greatest resource is its people, added Clevenger, and as mayor he would seek their input on issues such as crime, affordable housing, and homelessness. However, some Republicans be- lieve that Clevenger's unfamiliarity will work against him in the April election. "Clevenger is totally unknown in this area," said Jerry Schleicher (R- 4th Ward). "Unfortunately I can't say anything about him because no one knows about him. I think the Democrats might not even know." Schleicher further praised incum- bent Jernigan's leadership ability in "controlling city hall and city gov- ernment." He said since the mayor has been in office there has been lit- tle controversy within city politics, categorizing Jernigan as an "efficient." Jesse Levine, an LSA senior run- ning for city council in the April election, also worked on the Demo. cratic mayoral selection committee that picked Clevenger to run on their ticket. "He's an outstanding candidate on all levels: state, local, and federal," said Levine. "He'll make Jernigan look like a puppy." Jernigan was unavailable for comment. In addition to Clevenger's interest in environmental issues, his practice as a municipal lawyer demonstrates his interest in the business and eco- nomic areas of the city, Levine said. According to last year's statistic. 0I EXTRA Cushions cause conflict The Slice company just couldn't get enough Monday at the Rose Bowl. They had a big float in the Tournament of Roses parade, free samples all around, and a blimp up above the stadium keeping Goodyear company. That wasn't enough. They had to pass out free seat cushions. Passing out things that can be thrown on the field, especially things with no real value after the game is over, is not a good idea. And sure enough, it came to pass. After the Michigan band performed its halftime show, they exited toward the Trojan side of the field to the welcome of a storm of high-speed seat cushions. Some direct hits were scored but most fell to the field or on the first few rows. Yeah, USC started - and they were up 14-3 at the time - but the Michigan section played the same tune when the Trojan band left the field. Perhaps, next time these two teams face each other, the two sections can be placed next to each other. Maybe Slice will pass out paperweights. - By Michael Salinsky The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University of Michigan Subscription rates: for fall and winter (2 semesters) $25.00 in-town and $35 out-of-town, for fall only $15.00 in-town and $20.00 out-of-town.
