Blood draw set Tuesday A community blood draw is scheduled Tuesday at First Baptist Church on Judson Drive in Greencastle.

School board Continued from page 1 said, leaving a CB fund carryover of $200,000 with which to start 1988. If all goes as the corporation anticipates, the cost of constructing the new middle school will be reflected in the corporation’s debt service rate starting in 1988. How much the debt service rate increases will depend on the eventual cost of the proposed building. Coinciding with the increased debt service rate, the corporation anticipates reducing the cumulative building fund rate in 1988 from $1.25 to 75 cents. The lower rate would yield about $450,000, which, combined with the $200,000 balance, would leave a total of $650,000 in the CB account during 1988. As projected, the 75-cent CB rate would produce $450,000 again in 1989 and an identical amount in 1990, its fifth and final year. ALL INCOME AND EXPENSE projections, Peck emphasized, are based on implementation of the remodeling and building programs as now planned and on state approval of the $1.25 cumulative building fund rate for the full five-year period. Also on the agenda for Wednesday night’s school board meeting are a report on the opening of the 1985-86 school year and board approval of textbook rental prices for the coming year.

ner-up, and Indiana State Fair Queen Julie Guyer. ALTHOUGH 1985 HAS been one of excitement for Miss Baird, her pageantry has not gone to her head. In fact, following the pageant competition Sunday evening, her celebration was very low key. “We had pictures taken after the pageant. Then some of my friends and I went out to Steak and Shake for something to eat,” Miss Baird said, adding her arrival back in Putnam County came at 2 a m. Monday. When asked, Miss Baird said she hopes people will not treat her differently because of her success. “I hope people won’t treat me any differently,” she said. “I think it’s hard for people some time to think of you as still the same person, but I am.”

Its purpose is to recognize an outstanding older person for a lifetime of service, to encourage continued achievement and service and to show the public the pleasures and challenges of retirement living. Having never been to a Governor’s Conference, Evans said, “It will give me a chance to see what it’s all about. ” *** “RSVP Reflections,” Submitted by Mary Skidmore, RSVP director, and Thelma Burkhardt, assistant director Welcome back, Emma Moore.

and around Crawfordsville until 1972 when she moved to Greencastle. She first came to the Senior Center with friends but was soon quilting, helping with mailings and cutting canceled stamps. Severely hampered by arthritis, Emma is no longer able to quilt but she spends about 25 hours a week cutting blocks for Fern Pitts, the Center comfort maker. You can’t keep a good volunteer down. ♦ ** There is a free health screening service available in Putnam County to anyone 60 years old and older. This service was made possible through a grant awarded to the Putnam County Health Service Clinic. The screening is done at the Cloverdale Nutrition Site in the American Legion building and the Senior Center in Greencastle. It alternates between the two locations on the third Monday of each month. THE PARTICIPATION HAS been slow in Greencastle since the program was initiated last fall, perhaps because people were not aware of its existence. The health screening includes (1) blood pressure (2) height/weight (3) pulse/respiration (4) hemoglobin (5) blood sugar and (6) urine analysis. Sue Bastin, RN, will be at the Senior Center in Greencastle from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug. 19 and with volunteer help she can accommodate as many as 12 people. The Putnam County Health Services Clinic, an RSVP station, wants to assure the participants in this program that it is not to replace their doctor, but if the nurse finds anything questionable she will refer you to your doctor. MARK THESE DATES on your calendar. Aug. 19 in Greencastle at the Senior Center and Sept. 16 in Cloverdale at the American Legion. No appointment is necessary. *** Not many towns the size of Greencastle has a telephone ministry such as CONTACT. Sometimes known as Crisis Intervention or Hot Line, CONTACT in Putnam County is staffed by volunteers who are caring persons willing to listen to anyone with a problem, big or little. It is the only place people can call 24 hours a day, seven days a week and know that someone will be there for them. They may be calling for information about another agency or seeking help with a personal problem or they are lonely and need to talk to someone. Whatever reason the volunteer is there to try to help the caller help her/himself. ANYONE OVER 18 years old is eligible to take the training and become a CONTACT worker. People of retirement age make great CONTACT workers and in return for their time they are filling a great need in their community. Another big benefit to becoming a CONTACT worker is that you learn more about yourself during the training and at the same time develop empathy for others. Training for new volunteers will begin on Sept. 12. If you would like more information, call CONTACT at 653-2645, they will send you an application. *** THERE WERE THREE winners in the drawing at the Senior Center-RSVP booth at the County Fair. The lucky people were Lillian Dickey, who won the handmade quilt; the winner of the second prize, the ceramic chalkboard and letter holder, Nancy Clifford from Bainbridge; and eight ceramic magnets, Joan Fisher. Thanks to those three and all the others who help support the programs at the Center with their purchase of tickets.
