STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY HITT & LOSRT COLUMBIA, MO. 65211 ZiSLrMmMiii!., .,..!. .1. Good Morning! It's Friday, November 9, 1884 3, Sectlons18Pag 25 Cents City plan irritates stores By Warren Sfrobol Mksourton 8left writer Carol and Gary Driller are piec-ing together a new sign for their store, the Merry- Go- Ronn- d Stained Glass Center. But it won't hang in front of the building at 320 E. Broadway where, they've done business for three years. The Drillers say a city deci-sion Oct 1 to eliminate parking in front of the store is forcing them to , literally pick up shop and move. ( Tsihgnes wberraned- nteh- ew last s" tNraow Pfoarrkainsegc"- ond businessman who also is mov-ing, while a third, locked into a long- ter- m lease, fumes at a city decision that he says will harm his livelihood. That decision prohibits parking along Broadway between Fourth Street and Providence Road. It was initiated by Mayor John West- lun- d and Fourth Ward Councilman Pat Barnes One reason for the change was the danger posed by cars driving over the curb and parking on the wide sidewalk in front of business-es housed in the old ice plant, Wesfiund says. " There aren't many places in town where you can park on the sidewalks." A new sidewalk will be built in front of the building, WesSund said. After a right- han- d turn lane is installed on the northeast corner of Providence Road and Broad-way, a beautification program for the area will follow, be says But the Drillers say the lack of parking, . nothing more, has prompted them to mcv& " We can't operate the way it is without parking," Mrs. Driller says. " A retail business that has a cfientefe or people that stop by has to have places to park." 9 It is not the city's plan for aide- wal- ks and planters, though, that upsets Mrs. Driller. " It does need to have the im-provements," she says. " They felt with the improvements, then we couldn't have safe parking " I But alternate parking hasn't been forthcoming, she says " And if there's no alternate plan, mat puts us between a rock and a hard place." The " No Parking" signs have had an almost immediate effect on the Drillers' business. " We can ! ust notice that ( it) seems down a Ittle," Mrs. Driller says. " Maybe 20 percent Maybe notquite that." Alternate parking is available at a 50- spa- ce parking lot on Fourth Street and at nearby businesses, Wesflund says, " I don't e? e how their business could have changed, because last night I saw cars parkedon the sidewalk there." " It surprises me that they would quit because of no parking" when parking is available, Westlund says. " There's no reason why they cant do good business there.' Next door to the Drillers is The Shop, a garage for foreign cars. Owner Mute Smith al30 wul move when the new year comes. When parking spaces disap-- eared from in front of neighbor- i- g E shops, the cars that bad parked there lined his drive, he says.

Smith, who already was eyeing a move, says he has decided to take his business elsewhere maybe out of the city. " If I have my choice about it, no, it will not be in the dty," he says. " If I can't come up with something, 111 go out of business. That'll be so much mon-ey the city won't be getting their share of." Smith end the Drillers are lucky they can go elsewhere. The ga- - HnBonRMmavnaaMBHanaMnaiMiiM rage owner has no lease and the Drillers' runs out Jan. 1. Kim Scha& rmeyer is not so for-tunate. The photographic chemist set up shop in the building he shares with the Drillers lust after owner Mark Stevenson bought it four years ago. His lease won't run out for a longtime, he says. " I've invested a lot of money in this build& g, personal money," Schafermeyer says. " I'm stuck. I came here believing in this old buildhg." Scha& rmeyer scoffs at the city's plan to beautify the area where j parking spaces used to be. " The j city wants to do something cos-metic, so they come down here and destroy my economic premise," he says. Ironically, the parking spaces have helped, not hurt the photog-rapher's business so far. " All the work trucks arent out here and my customers still park there," he says. When the beautifi-cation program begins, bis cus-tomers might go elsewhere, he says. City F& Z OEs'zoffliiigg for Boone Quarry tmct By Warren Stroke! Mlssour! an etef ( writer The city Planning and Zoning Commission, on Thursday night gave its consent for the rezoning of tee 154- Ec- re Boone Quarry from agricul-tural to industrial property as re-quested byalocal developer. The verdict, handed down after an hour- lon- g hearing, hinged on a de-bate over future use cf the huge tracfi in northwest Columbia. Charles Seheurieh, property man-ager for developer Harold E. John-son, told the commissien that ap-proving the request will brighten the outioflfe lor both the quarry and near-by residents. Phasing out the quargy and phasing in underground storego will reduce the quarry's impact oa its neighbors, Seheurieh said. But residents from Roemer Lake subdfrision, threusrters of a mile nortbf the qosrhf, dtesgreed Re scciteg th9 qttery lev indcstrfal use devetopmenti Blloed onder r the zoning ordinance, representa-tives said. In pressing for approval, Commis-sioner Keith Schroder noted that the quarry will be there, resoning or not. " In this case, the worst poss'bje tiling that could possibly be there is already there," Schrader said. " We ought to take a chance for some of the better uses." At the debate's outset, Seheurieh outlined what may be in store for the quarry. A rock- crushin- g plant, ce-ment mixer and abandoned vehicles nearby toil! be moved to the quarry floor, Seheurieh said, When mining goes as for as it can go horizontally, in 70- fo- ot high quarry walls will be straightened and underground stor-age cOTpartments carved out, he said " AH uses inside the quarry will be screened from view,',' Seheurieh said, ' These moves, W9 feel, will re-duce the1 air. noise and sight pollut-ion." Opponents repeated again and again that they have no guarantee the site will remain a quarry, stor-age area or anything else. " Once it is ( industrial), it can also be used as an electroplating plant or a Junk-yard," said Jim Ritzen, 1902 Cedar Cliff Drive To buttress the claim, Roemer Lake Homeowners Association Pres-ident Richard Baer, Route 11, pre-sented the commission with a peti-tion oppcsSngthe change. Some residents ridiculed the idea that crushing rock down in the quar-ry would reduce dust titat floats into the area. " It'll be terrible, unless they pipe it to high heaven," said Mary Nolks, who nas lived at 2703 Blackfoot Road since before the quarry went into operation. CojnraisslonerB considered the ar-guments outlcud before they unani-mously approved the request The commission never addressed the issue of placing restrictions on Johnson's use of the land, Gall Car-son, Route 11, complained after the meeting Carson said she and her noigbbora will attend the City Council meeting where the final decision will be made. That decision probably will come nest month. But Carson isn't optimistic that the decision will be reversed.' MANAGUA, Nicaragua ( UPI) - Tw-enty- thousand students were or-dered into military service Thursday by a Nicaraguan leader who told a chanting crowd they must " defend the fatherland" from a feared U S invasion. Jaime Wheebck, a member of the Sandfriista nine- ma- n directorate, told a crowd gathered to bid farewell to some 20,000 students destined to work in the nation's coffee farms that they were being diverted to ac-tive military service " We prefer to see the coffee fall rather than our national sovereign-ty," Wheebck said, adding the mobi-lization " was immediate " The call to arms came as a sus-pected VS. spy plane broke the sound barrier over five cities, send-ing panicked residents into the streets for fear of a UJS. strike to de-stroy a Soviet cargo that possibly in-cluded MG jets. " It was a difficult decision, but it is the pnee we must pay to be free," Wheebck told tliounds of people gathered in Managua's Revolution Square The cheering mob, raised their clenched fists m the air and shouted " They will not get through. They will not get through," in reference to fears in Nicaragua the United States would invadsthe country. " In the following days, we will More on MiGs, Page 6A give to every youth, to every resi-dent of Managua, a gun to defend the fatherland," Wheelock said " From here on, we are going to give a rifle to every citizen and to ev-ery student We are carrying an olive branch in one hand but also in the right hand we are carrying a ri-fle," Wheelock told the crowd " We have arms such that Mana-gua will be defended by dozens and dozens and dozens of thousands of fighters," Wheelock said Moments after Wheelock spoke, Foreign Minister Miguel d'Escoto announced Nicaragua would call a meeting of the U. N. Security Council " in the face of the reiterated threats against Nicaraguan people's self- determinati- on and sovereignty " D'Escoto called the diplomatic corps and media reporters to the Foreign Ministry to read a statement from the Sandimsta three- ma- n junta, " to make known this se-rious situation which threatens the security of a member state of the United Nations " The foreign minister said the mea-sure was taken " to complement in-ternal measures already taken to guarantee the mobilization of our See U S , Page 6A x r By Brad Gentry FUUssourian staff writer The Missouri Public Service Com-mission has given the Missoun- Kan- jas- TexE- S Railroad 30 days to cor-rect 26 problem areas on its railroad line in Boone County and has told the county it needs to improve the warning- - sign system at crossings These were the findings in a five- pa- ge report released Thursday by the Boone Coanty Court, which re-quested an inquiry last month into the railroad's operations after a number of derailments in the coun-ty. The commission's track inspector and manager of railroad services in-spected conditions at county public- grad- e crossings on Oct 24. The 16-- to 17- mi- le stretch of track, the site of eight derailments since 1981, extends from Rocheport to south of Hartsburg Southern District Judge Kay Rob-erts, who said she has received seve-ral complaints about the railroad from constituents, has taken an in-terest in the investigation because the tracks Evolved in the derail-ments extend through her district and run adjacent to the Missouri River. " Our concern has been that we are experiencing a tremendous amount of derailments in the county, more than our fair share," Roberts said, noting that there have been more de-railments on the county MKT line than any stretch in the state " Our concern and fear is that we will have a derailment of a toxic sub-stance that will affect the water quality of the Missouri River," she said " Each one of these minor inci-dents that have occurred might have been a serious incident," said Mike Sanford, county health director San- for- d said toxic materials have not been involved in any of the derail-ments. Most of MKT's deficiencies were cited because of crossings that were void of planking reinforcement on each side of each rail or because crossings were not sufficiently long Cited for those reasons were cross-ings at Easley, Smith Hatchery Road; Easley, South Hatchery Road; Easley, Cunningham Road; Harts-burg, Club House Road, Hartsburg, near Route M; Hartsburg, River Road; Hartsburg, east of Mam Street; and Hartsburg, Soft Pitt Hill Road. MKT needs to clear trees and brush in several areas, as well, the PSC report says. The county needs to replace seve-ral warning signs Roberts said the county also will be spot checking the speed of trains traveling the MKT line. The limit is 25 mph in most parts of the county, she said. Richard T. Mooney, PSC railroad services manager, said a follow- u- p mspechon would be made the week of Nov. 26. Study urges program increases By Richard Pollto Mtesourian staff writer A $ 50,000 study, which was pre-pared by 41 independent educational consultants to help administrators evaluate duplicated programs in the University system, has concluded theprograms needmore funding. The consultants evaluated 12 aca-demic programs that are duplicated by the various campuses and sug-gested ways to improve cooperation between mem. The study contends that in most cases the weaknesses are result of inadequate funding something that's not new to adminis-trators.' " The reports have borne out our warnings over the last five years that shortfalls in appropriations would erode UMC's ability to main-tain quality in meeting its mis-sions," said UMC Chancellor Barba-ra UehHng in a prepared statement earlier tha week. " We have known all along that we . have catching up to do," UehHng said.' The- stud- y Is part of s review proc-- i ess designed to aid chancellors of the four University campuses to develop program priorities. The study concluded that nine of 12 subject areas need more funding, equipment or staff on at least one campus. Its recommendations will be forwarded in January to Peter Magrath, who becomes University president Magrath will decide on where to make program cuts so funds could be reauccated to needy areas. Those areas are: f Chemistry, engineering, geolo-gy, law, mathematics, medicine, physics andpsychology at UMC. s Chemistry, engineering, math-ematics and physics programs at the UntversityofMissouri- RoUa- . Chemistry, law, nursing and pSyehoJogy at the University of Mis- soiri- Kansas- Clty Cfceistetry. mathematics and psychology at the UntvasSty tf Mis- BOuri- St. Lo- uis. The three remaining subject arras of business, education and social work were not recommended for ad-ditional funds. William Bradshaw, dean of UMC's School of Medicine, which was re-viewed by the consultants, said the study substantiated what his school already knew, including problems in administrative organization and ten-ure policy. " They hit points we were already aware of, and we are already work-ing on them," Bradshaw said. But he felt the report will help reinforce the University's position in asking the state for more money. Richard Wallace, University vice resident for academic affairs, Eelped organize the study. He said the study will be financed by the president's contingency fund. Wallace called the report " very useful information that both the chancellors and President Magrath will use in arriving at priority deci-sions." Wallace said the 41 consultants who prepared the reports were high-ly respected in their fields. Wallace said the consultants included aca-demics from other institutions, members of professional organiza-tions and business executives. v
