College Awards SJ Girl $3,320 Annual Grant By JERRY RSIEGEB Cwuty-Fana Editor The Twin City Medical Clinic of Southwestern Michigan, a professional corporation of 13 doctors associated in the group practice of medicine here, announced today it will begin construction of a two-story medical building in south St. Joseph this summer, The new structure, located off the 2800 block of Niles avenue, will bring the family and specialty practice group of doctors into a single location, where the group practice concept can be brought into full play, according to Hoger Swierbut, business administrator for the corporation.

Purchase of a 4 acre site for the clinic building was completed last week. It is located behind the St. Joseph branch of the People's Savings association and adjacent to the Southtown Twin theaters and the Burger Chef restaurant. The project developer will be Health Care Industries, of St. Louis, a subsidiary of Bank Building Corp.

Construction is scheduled to start in July or August and completion is anticipated approximately one year later. The building plans call for 30,000 square feet of floor space. In addition tojthe clinic offices, it will house such ancillary services as pharmacy, X-ray and laboratory departments. Actually the Twin City Medical Clinic has been in existence since 1971, when two doctors first formed the organization. Four more physicians joined them in 1972 and another three were added the following year.

Four more have joined this year, with a fifth to be added in June. The public has generally been unaware of the group practice aspect of the organization because the doctors have continued to practice in their individual offices. The new building will bring their offices all under one roof where group practice will become a reality, Swierbut stated. The group practice of medicine is based on the principle of greater efficiency in the utilization, of facilities, equipment and personnel, thus providing the patient with more economical health care of a quality as good as, or better than, the members have been able to deliver individually, according to Dr. R.

Thomas Costello, president of the corporation. Patients of the various members of the clinic will continue to see their personal physician by regular appointment. Patients of other physicians in the community will be seen on consulation in the various departments upon the request of their own physician. Dr. Costello explained.

The group doctors all are staff members of one or both hospitals in the Twin Cities and they will continue to utilize the hospitals as necessary.

(AP) The Palisades nuclear power plant, shut for the past nine months because of a leaky core cooling system, will remain closed a little longer.

Consumers Power Co. says. Consumers Power spokesmen said Tuesday a tube in one of the two steam generators at the plant at South Haven recently failed during tests in preparation for restarting the facility. The break did not result in any release of radioactivity into the air, the utility said. Repairs and additional testing will take at least two weeks, spokesmen said.

The Palisades plant was shut down last Aug. 11 after small leaks of radioactivity were discovered in the core cooling system. Company officials said some radioactive Iodine 131 was flushed out into Lake Michigan before the leak was discovered. Officials originally estimated the plant could resume operations within three months. However, Atomic Energy Commission investigators discovered other problems stemming from vibrations in the atomic reactor that had to be corrected.

Consumers Power also said its Big Rock Point nuclear plant near Charlevoix resumed operations Monday after a. six-week shutdown for annual refueling. The utility had reported a minor leak occurred April 23, but the AEC said there was no release of radioactivity to the atmosphere and no one inside was exposed. each in the special May bonus were Charles E.

7 Five citizens, who said they, resided on Merrimac road, complained to the board that children whd live in the adjacent Berrien Homes complex were running in their yards, entering their homes, and creating "disturbances." The four women and one man also said there seems to be no adult supervision for the children, and their complaints to manager of the apartments has gotten them nowhere. They also cited incidents of a resident of Berrien Homes dumping garbage in the back yard which adjoins one of the Merrimac residents. Rats have been seen in the garbage, the woman stated, and the Adopted a statement supporting Model Cities and its programs, and asking HUD to release "the $75 million in currently impounded monies" for Model Cities programs across the nation.

Names of the complainants are being withheld by this newspaper at their request and request of Supervisor Martin Lane, and other township officials, all of whom said they fear retaliation. Trustees said they have no direct control over Berrien Homes, but will look into the situation, and may be able to bring pressure onto the Kalamazoo management firm which runs the complex. Berrien Homes has 159 apartments for low income families.

The project is sponsored by Berrien County Council of Churches. Township Treasurer James Culby said adequate playground facilities are needed to occupy the children, and one of the Merrimac residents suggested a fence be built around Berrien Homes. Clerk Ralph Dahn said he "live in that area." and is "familiar with the problems." The board last night also voted not to join a summer recreation program with the City of Benton Harbor. Chris G. Davenport, newly appointed director, of Benton Harbor's recreation program, appeared before the board to ask if they would join with the city for the summer program.

Dahn said the township has its own summer program, Its own director, and own park, and funds have already been committed to the townhip programs. "We have to support our own parks program before we. get involved" in another one, Dahn said. He noted some programs, such as CanAmer, wilUoverlap but otherwise the township will conduct its own programs. Davenport presented trustees a lengthy report on Benton Harbor programs, which he termed an 'overview of what we hope to do." Davenport's report outlined a year-around recreation program.
