Mutz says elections will be held around Indiana next month to nominate six appointees to the State Fair Board. Balloting is open only to certified delegates from each agricultural district. The nominees will be appointed by Gov. Robert D. Orr to serve two-year terms on the board. Eleven Fair Board members are nominated by districts. The governor appoints five others. The election schedule is: District 1, Oct. I, 7 p.m., Gabriel’s Restaurant, Wheatfield; District 3, Oct. 2, 7 p.m., the Singer Building, 4-H Fairgrounds, South Bend; District 5, Oct. 3,7:30 p.m., 4-H Fairgrounds, Marion; District 7, Oct. 7, 7:30 p.m., the Landing Restaurant, Bloomfield; District 9, Oct. 8,7 p.m., the Farm Bureau Insurance office, North Vernon; District 11, Oct. 9, 7:30 p.m.. Administration Building, State Fairgrounds. Education Continued from page 1 for curriculum in South Bend schools, agrees. “I’d want to know if the teacher really knew my child, especially in the elementary school,” said Ms. Miller. “If the teacher can’t focus in on questions about your child, I’d have real concerns.” Ms. Miller and Adams said that parents, when questioning their children’s teachers, should demand specific information, for their own enlightenment and to gauge the depth of the teacher’s knowledge about the child. Educators suggest several criteria for determining evaluating a teacher’s performance in the classroom. Joyce Kemp, a fourth grade teacher at Rio Grande Elementary in Vigo County and that county’s teacher of the year, said a basic question to ask is: “Does he or she teach children to think?” Ms. Kemp said teachers should also be interested in the “whole child,” not just the student who sits at a desk in the classroom, and should be able to tailor instruction to individual needs, rather than treating students as a group. Teachers say parents can check to see if teachers challenge students to participate, or just lecture them. “I would rather see students talking and doing things instead of listening to teachers reeling off facts,” said Ted King, a science teacher at Fort Wayne Snider High School. Bob Duell, principal of Goshen High School, suggests that teachers should be demanding and should push the student, but should have the flexibility to deal with children of different abilities. A teacher should be able to explain his or her goals and approaches to things such as homework and grades, educators said. If a teacher complains during conferences with parents, making excuses for what she can or cannot accomplish, “I’d think it’s a bad teacher,” said Ms. Miller. “The really good teachers see students as individuals and see value in their teaching,” said Ben Jennings, superintendent of Fayette County schools. “They get the kids involved in learning. They communicate, not just with the kids, but with administrators, aides and most importantly, with parents. They go to a lot of trouble to personalize education.” Howard Mehlinger, dean of the Indiana University school of education, said the job of teaching “takes planning and patience, and it’s demanding and exhausting.” “It’s not easy to manage 25 to 30 energetic young people when it’s your job to capture their imagination,” he said. “A teacher has to be on stage on every day, or he’s not a good teacher. "And the next day you’ve got to come back and do the show again. And again "

Submitted by Ellen Sedlack Library Director “Oh,” said the voice at the other end of the telephone line, “1 was so surprised to get that letter. I had been meaning to return those books to the library.” It comes as a rude shock to people who are holding materials long overdue from the library that they are subjecting themselves to criminal prosecution. It also comes as a surprise that the library has some “clout” in the process of getting books back. Here is the procedure: AFTER THE MATERIAL has been overdue for two weeks, we send an overdue notice by postcard. In another two weeks, a letter In another month, a letter threatening court action. The failure to return library materials is a criminal offense, subject to a fine of up to SSOO. The Putnam County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office and the

County budgets (Evans) in that we have to start somewhere.” One point Hammond did continue to clarify is that computerization will not replace county workers. “The computers will not replace people,” she pointed out. “What it will do is reduce any extra people we need to acquire. That would be my difference,” she said. Asking Commissioner Don Walton, who was present, to respond, he said he desires to be able to investigate other counties’ use of computers. “I have really not looked into it that much,” he noted, “and I would like to see how they operate.” “I think it (the request) is in the wrong budget,” Hassler noted. “I think this should be left to the commissioners. The commissioners control what goes into the courthouse. It’s their job, not the clerk’s job. This should have gone to the commissioners.” BUT HAMMOND SAID she realized it is the County Council which funds proposals. “I knew their (the commissioners’) hands would be tied fiscally, unless they knew what you (the Council) wanted to do. If the county did not have the money to do it, there was no need to ask for the $38,000.” “But the clerk’s office does not remodel the building,” Hassler pointed out. “We’re not asking to remodel the building,” Hammond interjected. “We (the clerk’s office) protect the records. That is our responsibility,” she said, alluding to computerization would help the office to do so. Evans still maintained if the Council did not act upon the computer proposal now, it would be placed on the backbumer for future comsideration, if at all. With that in mind Evans made a motion to approve the computer proposal. Gene Clodfelter added a second. VOTING FOR THE MOVE were Evans, Hassler, Tom Gray, Nichols and Gene Clodfelter. Asbeil voted “no.” Waldron votes only in the case of a tie. In other matters regarding the clerk’s 1986 budget, the Council did reduce the requested $31,500 for computers to $25,000. The board also deleted S7OO total for desk chairs and mats, $1,500 for a basement storage door and $2,800 for a book/table complex. Salaries and longevity requests were also tabled. In all, the Council did vote to postpone requests regarding salaries and the possibility of longevity increases, if feasible, until all supply aspects of the 1986 county budgets were resolved. However, there were some exceptions. The Council did approve the total 1986 central dispatch budget, including salaries. The $58,500 budget was reduced to $55,500, after the Council reduced $5,000 for phone installation and other costs to $2,000. THE CENTRAL DISPATCH budget includes sll,lOO for chief dispatcher David Costin and $10,600 each for four regular dispatchers. Salaries were also left as submitted for the Putnam County Courts Substance Abuse Treatment Program staff, which is funded via users’ fee and not property taxes. Director Susan Hirt is to receive $14,500 for 1986, while administrative assistant Martin Mishler receives $10,600. The total budget of $44,255.20 for the courts Substance Abuse Treatment

Program was left as presented by County Court Judge Sally Gray, who helps to oversee its operation. The Council voted not to give itself a raise for 1986 and to leave salaries at $1,200 per member annually. The board also deleted a S7OO remodeling amount in the budget, which was to be used to restructure the commissioners’ court where the board meets. TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES AND their deputies will receive the same 1986 salary as they are receiving this year, the council determined. Also, the board instructed County Recorder Charlotte Gould to write the State Board of Tax Commissioners regarding the alleged non-performance of duties by the Russell Township trustee. The 1986 budgets suffering the largest cuts included the Putnam County Jail and Putnam County Sheriff. Sheriff Gerry Hoffa was present at the meeting and assisted the Council in determining where cuts could be made. To help with central dispatch funding in 1986, the sheriff, his deputies and jail staff agreed to no raises. This means the sheriff will receive $17,183.94 in 1986. His chief deputy will receive $15,008.86, while his three merit deputies receive $13,994.05 each. The sheriff department’s retirement fund was reduced from SIB,OOO to $13,000. A uniform account was increased to $2,200, while a budgeted S9OO for deputies’ laundry expenses was eliminated. The sheriff department’s budget also reflects the need to purchase two patrol cars for $28,000, which was first budgeted at $30,000 until the council made its $2,000 cut. THE PUTNAM COUNTY JAIL budget will see the matron make her 1985 salary of $13,994.05 for next year. In addition, the four jailers will be retained at 1985 salaries of $10,100.64 each. Although the assistant matron’s position was eliminated, the Council did provide Hoffa with an SB,OOO part-time allowance for 1986, which can be used to hire help for the matron, the Council determined, if necessary. Other cuts in the jail budget include reducing a building repair amount of $50,000 to SIO,OOO, eliminating $25,000 reserved for central dispatch which is not needed and cutting equipment from the budgeted $20,000 to $5,000 The majority of other county budgets were approved as presented Tuesday with only a few minor cuts. Again, salaries will be determined Wednesday. THE COUNCIL DID inspect the budgets of the Election Board, Extension Office, treasurer, township assessor. Planning Commission, County Home, recorder. Veterans’ Affairs, Coroner, prosecutor and Putnam Circuit Court. The board also reviewed the budgets of the Putnam County Court, courthouse, county highway department, surveyor, perpetual stone search, county assessor, hazardous waste, commissioners and Title IV-D office. On Wednesday, the Council will review the budgets of the Microfilm Department. Cemetery Commission, Aviation Board, Welfare Office, Board of Health and auditor.
