OBITUARY Mel Uridil, 96 If you want to strike up a conversation with a kindergartener just ask, do you want to be when you grow Most 5- and 6-year-olds will slip their imaginations into high gear and lead you on a fascinating ourney into the future. indergarten is that onderful time before children have to come to rips with reality or, worse yet, before they are pigeon-holed by well- meaning adults who remind them that their goals are unrealistic.

Kindergarteners, for instance, can usually list three or four things they would like to be or do when they grow up. Fifteen years later as college students they may have difficulty defining their career goals. Can you remember what you, as a 5-year-old, wanted to be when you grew up? not sure that I can. Ido recall playing school with my younger brothers; maybe I wanted to be a teacher. Early on I learned one of the any pitfalls of being an educator.

I made a works heet for my labeling it as such and hanging it on a wall. Un- ortunately, I spelled with an instead of Mom discovered that worksheet on the living room wall and reminded me how to spell worksheet. Funny thing I remember her smiling when she ordered me to take down the worksheet. A about age 8, I recall, I wanted to be a minister. I made my little brothers sit on chairs in the living room and used one of plant stands as a pulpit.

I read from the Bible and preached a brief sermon. recall the subject of my homilies. I suspect they dealt with the major moral concerns of the day such as the evil of teasing oldest brother, the joy of sharing toys with oldest brother or the virtue of respect for oldest brother. Afew years passed with no eye toward the future; life was a whirlwind of baseball, bicycles and beating on little brothers. When I was about 11years old, however, I thought I would like to be a highway pat rolman.

Icould imagine cruis- i ng down U.S. Highway 69 in a sleek, black 1959 Dodge with a single cher- on top, a yellow IHP ticker on each of the front doors and a long whip antenna at the back of the cruiser. With a pistol on my hip and a shiny badge on my chest I would return our highways to the peaceful, law- abiding citizens of our state, sending violators the state pen for life. A Iowa State High- ay patrolman and his family lived up the street rom us. One summer afternoon I rode my bike past his house and down our street at breakneck speed.

As I rolled into our front yard, the highway son ran into my path. Other than grass stains and bruises neither of us was badly injured but I knew my plans for serving on the state highway patrol were ended. In fact, I worried for weeks that a highway patrolman could send a speeding bicyclist to the pen or at least to reform school. Asixth grade teacher helped me understand that writing could be fun and little-by-little I began leaning toward a career that would involve a type- riter. (Word processors been invented et.) An interest in broadcasting wove itself into the picture, too.

he appeal of a news areer was strong enough to resist the efforts of two well-intentioned older gentlemen who cornered me in church one Sunday and encouraged me to go into the ministry. I guess I talked a lot as a teenager and they incorrectly quated quantity (and olume) of speech with uality. In light of my failure a an 8-year-old to get my brothers to quit teasing or to share their toys I doubt my effectiveness as a minister. Time marched on and after spending the first several years of my career in broadcasting, then the newspaper industry and finally in a fundraising career I am now happily retired. Back in the early I even had an opportunity to serve on a police reserve.

Along the way also had an opportunity to be a sales and ad design trainer and to teach in Sunday school and church. Now if I could just grow up.

During discussion June 20, Eric Gould of eenstra and Kimm noted issues with building in he industrial park so long as the company went through planning and zoning.
