(AP) - Art by famous sculptor Marshall Fredericks sits in the middle of Greenville, bike paths connect neighborhoods and a local hos- pital has expanded - all due to the generosity of the small town's favorite son, Fred Meijer. The retail pioneer grew up in the western Michigan commu- nity and never forgot it. He died Friday at age 91, decades after his father opened a store here that eventually grew into a Midwest chain ofnearly 200. Meijer "loved Greenville and Greenville loved him," Mayor Kenneth Snow told The Daily News. There will be an eight-hour visitation tomorrow in Grand Rapids at the gardens and sculp- ture park that bears Meijer's name. He died after suffering a stroke. Greenville, 35 miles northeast of Meijer Inc. headquarters in Grand Rapids, is where Meijer's father got into the grocery busi- ness in 1934. The city's welcome sign says "Birthplace of Meijer." Fred Meijer was the lead donor of an expansion at Spectrum Health's United Memorial Cam- pus, which added two surgery suites and 24 patient rooms and is named for his parents. Over a 10-year period, he made many donations to the Fighting Falcon Military Museum. "When he heard he could do something for Greenville, he cer- tainly would do it," high school classmate Virginia Wood, 91, said. Former Mayor Lloyd Walker, a longtime friend, recalled accom- panying Meijer on a personal trip near Saginaw and stopping to get an ice cream at a new Meijer store. Meijer handed out coupons for free cones and introduced himself to anyone who wanted to chat. "If you Googled him, you'd know he was worth $5.2 billion," Walker told The Grand Rapids Press. "But you'd never know it from meeting him." He said he relied on Meijer to personally ease the concerns of farmers when Meijer and Green- ville wanted to create recreation trails in the area. 4 SETH WENIG/AP In this Nov. 23 photo, mementos from all periods of former President Theodore Roosevelt's life appear in his home in Oys- ter Bay, N.Y., where Roosevelt lived until his death in 1919. Teddy Roosevelt's NY home to receive $6.2M renovation 4 Series of bombs kill 15 civilians around Baghdad Violence prevalent amid planned exit of U.S. troops BAGHDAD, (AP) - A series of blasts struck an area west of Baghdad on Saturday where day laborers gather to find work, as well as a music and clothes mar- ket in the capital, killing at least 15 people, officials said. The second day of major attacks this week in Iraq underscored the challenges still facing the country's secu- rity forces as they approach a particularly fragile time. All American troops are scheduled to be out of Iraq in a matter of weeks, leaving Iraqi security forces with sole responsibility for securing the country. The first two bombs exploded in the early morning in an area where day laborers wait for work in the mostly Sunni village of al-Zaidan, near the town of Abu Ghraib west of Baghdad. They killed seven people and wounded 11 others, the officials said. Hours later, three bombs exploded near the kiosks of ven- dors selling CDs and militaryuni- forms in central Baghdad's Bab al-Sharqi market district, killing eight people and wounding19. "I went outside my shop and saw people running in all direc- tions trying to leave the market area. I saw several bodies and wounded people on the ground," said Mohammed Youssef, who owns a clothing shop in the area. Iraqi military commanders ordered all the vendors selling products in the area to close their kiosks and move, in an attempt to clear out the area and make it harder for insurgents to hide bombs. Healthofficials at Abu Ghraib's general hospital and at three hospitals in Baghdad confirmed the casualty figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information. Violence has ebbed across Iraq, but deadly bombings and shootings still occur almost daily as U.S. troops prepare to leave by the end of the year. Iraqi secu- rity officials maintain that they are fully prepared for the with- drawal, which is required under a 2008 security pact between the U.S. and Iraq.. On Thursday, three bombs struck the southern city of Basra, killing19 people. Earlier this week, the top U.S. general in Iraq, Lloyd Austin, said that there would likely be some "turbulence" after Ameri- can troops depart, as insurgents try to strengthen their positions. But he did not think there would be a wholesale disintegration of security. Upgrades to electrical, heating and security systems among renovations OYSTER BAY, N.Y. (AP) - Theodore Roosevelt had a lot of stuff. There's the massive head of a 2,000-pound African cape buf- falo hanging over a fireplace near the front entrance of his home, Sagamore Hill, on the north shore of Long Island. Next to a large desk in the North Room sits a wastepaper basket made from the hollowed foot of an elephant. Nearby, there's an ink- well crafted from part of a rhino. More than four dozen rugs made from bearskins and other crea- tures taken down by the noted big game hunter adorn nearly every room. There are 8,000 books, and thousands of items from flags to furniture, busts to baubles and medals to mementoes. Everything must go. The entire contents of Saga- more Hill are being packed up and put in storage as the National Park Service prepares for a three- year, $6.2 million renovation of the 28-room, Queen Anne-Shin- gle style mansion in Oyster Bay. The 26th president of the United States, who had the home built for him in 1885, lived there until his death in 1919. He used Sagamore Hill as a "summer White House" during his presidency from 1901- 1909. Workers have already spent nine months packing books and other smaller items into boxes, using special care to catalog every one and place it on a com- puter spreadsheet. The three- story home has 15 bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as sit- ting rooms and offices. It sits on a nearly 83-acre high atop a hill overlooking an inlet that leads to Long Island Sound. Sagamore Hill, which sees about 50,000 visitors annually, closes to the public on Dec. 5 so craftspeople can begin the heavy lifting in earnest to rehabilitate the 1885 home that hasn't seen any major renovations in more than a half century. A much smaller display of Roosevelt memorabilia - including his White House china- will remain on display in a smaller building on the property throughout the three-year project. Plans call for upgrades to the electrical, heating, security and fire suppression systems through- out the home, which has been a National Park Service historic site since the early 1960s. Exte- rior work will include a new roof, gutter and drainage system, foun- dation waterproofing, and restora- tion of 78 historic windows, doors, porches and siding. Also to be restored are Saga- more Hill's original rear porch and a skylight in the center of the house, both of which were altered or removed in the 1950s when the Theodore Roosevelt Associa- tion owned the property and first opened it to public visits. The association ran Sagamore Hill for abouta decade before the National Park Service took over in 1962 - a somewhat fitting custodian for the home of the manwho championed the creation of the national park system. , "Theodore Roosevelt's house is like anybody else's house," said Amy Verone, chief of cultural resources at Sagamore Hill. She joked, however, that not everyone tackling a renovation project in their home has to contend with I finding a place for 10-foot-ele- phant tusks adorned with silver inlays.
