No. 1 Buis' beans best, state group says CLOVERDALE-Mike Buis who farms near Cloverdale is the Indiana winner of the ASA-Lexone Young Leader Award for 1984. Winners are picked in 26 soybean producing states in a national award contest of the American Soybean Association (ASA). Each ASA-Lexone Young Leader is chosen for his contributions to the state soybean organization, his participation in community affairs and farming innovations. THE STATE AWARD TO Buis and his wife, Patty, includes an expensepaid trip to the ASA national convention Aug. 3-6 at Tulsa. Sponsor of the trip is Du Pont Agricultural Chemicals, maker of “Lexone” herbicide. Winners are picked by their own state group. Buis was named by the Indiana Soybean Association. Buis farms 1,000 acres in partnership with his brothers, Tom and Jeff. Now 35, he farmed while attending college and during the six years following graduation when he taught school and coached basketball. He is a graduate of Purdue and holds a master’s degree from DePauw University. He and his wife have two children, Brent, a freshman in aviation at Indiana State University, and Janice, a freshman at Cloverdale High School. His cropping system is corn, beans and wheat. The partners normally plant 600 acres of corn and 400 acres of soybeans and, at times, 100 acres of wheat. Both corn and soybeans are planted no-till on some aicreage. For both no-till and conventional soybeans, Buis says a pre-emerge tank mix is used for weed control.

Local organization eyes new community support, perception

By BECKYIGO Banner-Graphic Area News Editor At a time when Planned Parenthood is at one of its strongest points, as far as services are concerned, the organization may be on the verge of closing its doors, if continued community support is not forthcoming. At least that’s the picture painted by Rachel Phillips, Planned Parenthood advisory board member, and Nancy Ripani, clinic manager. PHILLIPS AND RIPANI are quick to admit that Planned Parenthood carries with it a preconceived notion that the organization promotes pregnancy termination and serves only pregnant teenagers. But that is far from the truth, both say. “Planned Parenthood is not proabortion,” Mrs. Ripani stresses. “It is ‘pro-choice,’ ‘pro-family’ and ‘pro-child.’ We feel it is each individual woman’s choice. “In fact,” Mrs. Ripani added, “Planned Parenthood is probably one of the most conservative organizations. We feel it is important to plan your children and for people to take care of their bodies.” Following that philosophy, Planned Parenthood of Putnam County, which is based at 600 N. Arlington St., Greencastle, offers several medical and social services for adults as well as teens. The medical services are provided by a trained staff of nurse practitioners and registered nurses.

include yearly pelvic and breast exams, pap smears, diagnosis and treatment of vaginal infections, exams and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy tests and birth control supplies with instruction on methods and use. Men are also welcomed to the Planned Parenthood center for tests regarding venereal disease, testicular cancer, family planning and counseling on birth control. “Before, the men would have to go elsewhere,” Mrs. Ripani pointed out, “but we’re seeing a lot more of them at the clinic now.” Planned Parenthood also offers counseling on continued care related to pregnancies, infertility counseling and has a referral service. On staff is LPN Judy Sheese, nurse practitioner Theresa Rundell, physician’s assistant Dede Emerson and Dr. Judy Klein. TEEN-AGE CLIENTS have made their way to Planned Parenthood and some have even been brought to the center by parents. “Times have really changed,” Mrs. Phillips said. “We feel parents are more open now about these kinds of things. And we think, in our own way, Planned Parenthood has helped.” One way Planned Parenthood may have taken part in helping is to possibly lower the teen-age pregnancy rate, Mrs. Phillips believes. “When we started, Putnam County had the highest teen-age pregnancy rate in the state at 25 per cent,” she notes. “Now it’s down to 17 per cent.

DENNIS, JANET COOPER: Taking over at Prevo's

Not always bedtime for all Bonzos

By ERIC BERNSEE Banner-Graphic Managing Editor Most people have ulterior motives when they plan a garage sale. Cleaning out the closet. Rediscovering the garage. Eliminating the non-necessities before the moving van arrives. My wife must have wanted to watch the David Letterman show. That had to be it. Ever since last Saturday’s garage sale we have been up until at least midnight, long enough to digest the news, listen to Joan Rivers’ monologue and wish it were Johnny signing off with his arm around Ed. We’ve seen Sunday turn into Monday ; Monday into Tuesday ad infinitum. NO, WE DIDN’T WIN a year’s supply of No-Doze. Nor has black coffee suddenly been the culprit. Nope. It’s that darned bed. I have to say I told you so, but I distinctly remember questioning Debbie’s wifely wisdom when she announced that Nicole’s baby bed would be included among such goodies as an Aunt Jemima centerpiece, ancient Bowman Gym backboards and kitchen gadgets at last weekend’s yard sale. “Where do you expect the kid to sleep? On the floor?” I asked. SHE REMINDED ME OF the twin bed we so urgently had to shuffle to a friend’s attic one below-zero night. Memory of that juggling act and the scars it left in a new truck bed were still too vivid to consider returning the prodigal bed to our home. She did know better, she’d already arranged for accomplices to bring the bed back. Thus the stage was set for our two-year-old to leave crib days forever. There was hope when the baby bed failed to sell in the first couple of hours of the sale, con-

Enforcement of city's 2-hour limit to resume

By BARBARACARHART Banner-Graphic Staff Writer Greencastle Police Chief Jim Hendrich announced Thursday that his department will begin enforcing the city’s 1964 ordinance on two-hour parking at metered spaces in downtown Greencastle. The renewed enforcement effort will begin Aug. 15, Hendrich said. In the meantime, the Greencastle Street Department is finishing its project to reinstall meter posts. New meter heads are also being installed and meter times are being repaired, Hendrich said. “THIS WILL GIVE US time to go over the enforcement process and make sure signs posting the policy are in place,” the police chief explained. The spirit of the ordinance, Hendrich explained, is to keep traffic moving through the city and allow shoppers in the downtown area to get in and out. “Two hours is enough time to conduct business. That’s what the Council said then,” Hendrich said. “In the past, it has caused a lot of hard feelings with downtown employees and merchants because the policy was not enforced.” BEGINNING AUG. 15, persons who park at two-hour meters located around the courthouse and within a one-mile radius of the downtown square beyond the two-hour limit will receive a $5 ticket and their vehicle will be subject to towing. “The meter police officer will chalk tires as in the past,” Hendrich said. “The patron will receive a $1 ticket if he allows the meter to expire and the officer will chalk the tires. If she (meter officer Cheryl Parsons) comes back and the vehicle is still there, she’ll issue a $5 ticket and the vehicle will be subject to tow.” He added, “In the past, people have avoided getting parking tickets by feeding the meter all day long.” Hendrich said he recognizes that enforcement regulations will have to be increased. “THERE’S NO WAY of getting around it,” he added.

sidered prime time for mothers and mothers-to-be to be checking out bargains. It was bad enough that the playpen was sold right out from under Nicole’s nose as the redhead sat playing with toys she’d never cared about in a playpen which she’d previously refused to be incarcerated. Goodbye, playpen; hello, tears. All in the name of $5. ANOTHER FALSE ALARM was signalled when baby brousers bought the remaining Huggies from those pre-potty trained days of yore. A few feelers went out on the car seat and the car bed was snapped up at a bargain price of SB. But the crib remained. And I dreaded even thinking about carting it back home and juggling both a twin bed and a crib. The pre-lunch rush, however, ended those thoughts. The crib and mattress were snapped up and awaited hauling by yours truly. There was no turning back now. Care Bear sheets were promised the little one for enduring this motherly whim. When such sheets were the other side of reason in any man’s wallet, we opted for a

Detour planned Sunday during 2 p.m. fair parade

In preparation for the Putnam County Fair Parade Sunday, local police officials will begin detouring traffic at noon. Sgt. Ernie Newby of the Greencastle Police department and traffic control coordinator of the parade committee has announced detour routes for traffic through the city. MOTORISTS TRAVELING into the city from the south on U.S. 231 will be routed northbound on Bloomington to Berry Street and then onto Jackson Street. Traffic will then be routed from Jackson Street northbound to Walnut Street and from Walnut Street West to Madison where it will be routed to Elizabeth Street and onto North Jackson. Northbound traffic will reverse the route and will be routed to Elizabeth Street to Madison and onto Walnut Street. Traffic will then be routed from Walnut Street to Jackson Street onto Berry Street and finally southbound on Bloomington Street. Detour signs will be posted all along the detour route, Sgt. Newby said. A

The police chief said Mayor Gerald Warren has asked that enough parking spaces be made available for the handicapped. This will be accomplished, Hendrich said, before the two-hour parking enforcement policy becomes effective. “But people should know that they can’t get special handicapped stickers from the police department,” Hendrich advised. “They must go to the license branch and get a special license plate.” HENDRICH SAID HE has also talked to

Dennis, Janet Cooper to assume management of Prevo's next week

Robert Matthews has announced the association of Dennis and Janet Cooper of Greencastle with Prevo’s, 6 E. Washington St., as managers and buyers. "A RECENT CORPORATE decision expressed the excitement of this positive move to enhance Prevo’s over 80-year position in the Greencastle community and to move forward on behalf of all concerned,” Matthews said in announcing the move. Matthews will continue to serve as a member of the Prevo’s board. Dennis Cooper was formerly associated

THERE WILL BE no detour signs for traffic being routed from State Road 240 (Indianapolis Road), although there will be barricades manned by police officers at the intersection of First Street and Indianapolis Road. Southbound motorists will be routed off Indianapolis Road south onto First Street and then onto Martinsville Street and back to Bloomington Street. Northbound motorists will be routed from Indianapolis Road to Tenth Street to Albin Pond Road and onto Shadowlawn Avenue. Traffic will then be routed to Jackson and northbound onto U.S. 231. THE GREENCASTLE Police Department will be assisted in traffic control by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department, Cloverdale Police Department, National Guard and Putnam County REACT.

the mayor about acquiring another 10-hour meter lot. At present, the only such lot in downtown Greencastle is located next to the Banner-Graphic, 100 N. Jackson St. “He (Mayor Warren) will be taking care of trying to find another lot,” Hendrich said. In the meantime, people conducting business all day in the downtown area are advised to use the 10-hour lot or park in a non-meter space to avoid a violation, HenCol. 2, back page, this section

IN THE MEANTIME, the Coopers are re-evaluating marketing plans for the future of Prevo’s coupled with the needs of the buying community, they said. “There’s going to be a lot of excitement at Prevo’s for our friends, neighbors and shoppers this fall,” Cooper promised, “and we are looking forward to the challenge.”

nice summer addition to anyone’s bed - a Care Bear blanket. WE ADDED A MICKEY MOUSE nightlight, left the hall light on and hoped for the best. We got the worst. Nicole was up and down more often than Muhammad Ali’s worst sparring partner. She paced the hall more than an expectant father with a bladder infection. And our nerves went with her each step of the way. She didn’t like the restraining bar tucked under the outside edge of the mattress. That had to be dismantled and then stealthily replaced once weary little eyes were closed. The Sand Man, however, hasn’t come this side of midnight fora week. WE’VE TRIED STORIES - heaven knows, I’ve memorized “ Animals’ Tea Party” and letting her play with Lock Blocks in bed (unfortunately then when she does fall asleep, there’s always one Lock Block left to roll over on that wakes her up). I was ready to give up this experiment, find the culprits who bought the crib and offer them twice what they paid for it. Then we went in to check on Thursday night’s progress Nicole was no where to be seen Yet there was no cause for worry since we could hear longawaited sounds of the kid snoring We fluffed the blankets; no Nicole. THE SNORES PERSISTED. And there underneath the twin bed was Nicole. Fast asleep on the floor - as predicted, you remember Forget the crib. I can’t wait now. We already have a motive for next year’s garage sale - getting rid of that twin bed. Who needs it.
