County Council-

everyone.” But Evans and Clodfelter disagreed. Both felt the longevity raise for 1986 will go a long way in recognizing employees past years of service. Evans suggested the Council pay a person employed with the county for a year or more, S3OO above his 1985 base pay. The person would also receive SIOO for each year served with the county up to a limit of 10 years, which would be paid for 1986 only. “That would help to recognize the employees with a S3OO raise, plus give them a SIOO for each year of service,” Evans reasoned. “That SIOO per year would help to recognize the length of service already put in.” WALDRON SEEMED TO BE receptive to the move, although he votes only in the case of a tie vote on the council. “This is something that is implemented in a lot of levels of government and businesses,” he noted. But Asbell continued to offer a different opinion. “I think the longevity is not necessary and we’re making something difficult that should be simple,” he said. “I think we should just give a SSOO across-the-board increase. That would solve what we’ve just been talking about for about an hour. ” But Asbell’s suggestion was not acceptable to a majority of the board. Evans made a motion for the S3OO raise-SIOO longevity package for full-time county employees, who have been with the county a year or more. His motion was seconded by Clodfelter. ON THE ABOVE PROPOSAL, Evans, Clodfelter, Richard Hassler and Tom Gray voted “yes.” Nichols and Asbell voted “no.” Other county positions, which are not necessarily of full-time status, were approved as follows: - Elevator operators and Soil and Water Conservation secretary, a $l5O raise each plus SSO longevity paid for each year up to 10 years. -- Extension agents: A S3OO raise on their 1985 salaries, plus SIOO for each year of county service up to 10 years. -- Coroner: His request for a $145 raise in 1986 was approved as submitted as were his deputies’ raise requests. ~ GREENCASTLE TOWNSHIP Assessor and deputies: Awarded a $l5O raise each on their 1985 salary plus a SSO per year longevity raise up to 10 years. - Prosecuting Attorney and deputies and salaries: Raises were approved as submitted with no longevity given. - County Court Judge and deputies: All were given a S3OO raise on their 1985 salaries plus a SIOO per year longevity raise up to 10-year limit. However, the public defender’s salary was approved as submitted. - Green Acres County Home: Superintendent was awarded a S3OO raise over his 1985 pay plus SIOO per year of longevity up to 10 years. The matron was awarded a $l5O raise plus SSO per year of longevity up to 10 years. The remaining staff will be given a S3OO raise each over their 1985 salaries plus SIOO longevity, if applicable. _ VETERANS’ OFFICE: Awarded a $l5O raise over the 1985 salary plus SSO per year longevity up to 10 years. - Planning Commission: Salaries and budget approved as submitted. - Commissioners: Commissioner Don Walton, Gene Beck and John Carson will each receive a S3OO raise from their 1985

salary with no longevity given. -- Putnam County Council: The council awarded itself no raises or longevity increases. - Board of Health: All employees in this office were awardeda S3OO raise over their 1985 salaries and SIOO per year of longevity up to 10 years. - PUTNAM CIRCUIT COURT: Awar ded S3OO each above their 1985 salaries plus SIOO longevity for each year of county service up to 10 years. To the above recommendations, Evans made a motion for their acceptance with Clodfelter voicing a second. Voting for the motion were Evans, Clodfelter and Gray. Voting “no” were Richard Hassler, Asbell and Nichols. The 3-3 tie created a first tie-breaking vote situation for President Waldron. He case a "yes” vote, making Evans’ motion pass. Clarifying his “no” vote, Hassler commented, “The reason I voted the way I did is because you didn’t treat everyone alike. Like the county commissioners, you didn’t give them any longevity.” WITH THE COUNCIL voting “yes” in the majority, county highway workers will receive a 25-cent per hour raise, in addition to a S3OO per man raise plus a SIOO per year longevity increase up to a maximum of 10 years of service with the county. Only Nichols voted “no” on the motion. The county highway superintendent will receive $1,290 raise plus a SSO per year longevity increase up to 10 years of service. The highway bookkeeper and clerk each receives a $1,040 raise with a SSO epr year longevity increase up to 10 years of service. Clodfelter made a motion on the above county highway administration raises with Evans voicing a second. The motion was passed. However, Nichols voted “no.” The Council also approved the county general fund tax rate be established at 93 cents per SIOO of assessed valuation, or lower. It is uncertain at this time what the actual rate will be until Auditor Myrtle Cockrell completes all the necessary computations. IF IT IS ANTICIPATE the tax rate will be above the 93-cent limit imposed by the Council Wednesday, Cockrell was instructed to contact the board. The Council approved the remaining tax rates as previously advertised for the Board of Health, aviation, welfare, cumulative bridge fund, mental health, property reassesment fund and cumulative bridge fund. Budgets were also approved as submitted for the Cemetery Board, Board of Health, Microfilm Department, Aviation Board, and Welfare Department. It should be noted that Welfare Director Catryna Shipman eliminated some $70,000 from her department’s budget prior to the Council’s consideration, since it was over the state’s allowable limits. Salaries were also approved as submitted by the welfare department. The Council voted unanimously on the department’s budget except for Nichols, who voted “no.” IN A FINAL NOTE, the Microfilm Department budget was cut by $6,443.54, which represented 1986 funds to be used to purchase a planatary camera. The Council advised Microfilm Director Marty Watts to seek an additional appropriation of approximately $13,656 this year to buy the camera outright.

Ten school corporations in Indiana are beginning this year to experiment with an expanded curriculum as part of a pilot project, said Evans. The experiment, aimed at revitalizing Hoosier schools’ curriculum, was made necessary in part by Project Primetime, the state program to improve instruction in early grades by reducing class sizes. “Early indications from the evaluation of Primetime show that teachers are covering more content in greater depth and at a faster pace,” Evans said. Harrold said that children in first-grade

Corner of the Square City parking lot renovation set

Submitted by Barbara Lane, Main Street Greencastle Main Street Greencastle Inc., with the approval of the Greencastle City Council will soon begin the renovation of the city parking lot at the corner of Vine and Walnut streets. The lot will provide parking for both large and small vehicles in a landscaped setting of trees and plantings. Bicycle racks will be provided for the community’s cyclists. A decoratve bench and accompanying trash container will enhance a tree-lined area along Vine Street. MAIN STREET GREENCASTLE decided to begin this project to give the citizens of Putnam County a positive sign that progress is being made with the Urban Design Plan. We hope to show what really can be done with city renovation and beautification. So much of the work done by Main Street Greencastle is accomplished behind the scenes, that Main Street wants to present a visual sign of progress to the community. Main Street is now in the process of preparing the drawings and specifications for the parking lot project. As soon as they are completed, the project will be opened for bids.

Mrs. Parker also directed Huestis in “Kiss Me Kate” two seasons ago in which the new Hook’s downtown manager was also a gangster. “But wait’ll you see this one,” the director promised. MEANWHILE, MRS. PARKER also has the unique distinction of directing her own mother, Adeline Knoy, in this musical comedy production. Mrs. Knoy’s role was identified as “the interfering mother.” “Definitely type-casting,” the director laughed. Including extras, the cast numbers 30.

Primetime classes last year moved beyond the prescribed textbooks and were “gobbling up instructional materials.” The students very likely will be ahead of the mandated state second-grade curriculum this fall, he said. The state’s task now is to adjust its curriculum requirements so that these students will continue to be challenged as they pass through Indiana schools, Harrold said. That means that for the first time curriculum requirements, instead of being determined by starting with college entrance requirements and moving down, will be developed taking into account the improving performance of first graders and working up through the grades from there, Harrold said.

City Police A three-vehicle accident was investigated at 3 p.m. Wednesday, occurring at the intersection of Indiana and East Columbia streets. Involved in the collision were vehicles driven by William P. Sweeney, no age given, box 574, Greencastle, Robert Waddell, 18, Route 1, Greencastle, and Donna Eppelheimer, 63, 510 Crown St., Greencastle. According to police reports, Eppelheimer was westbound on Columbia Street in a 1979 Pontiac, when she failed to give the right-of-way and failed tp see a 1979 Chevrolet being driven by Waddell. Sgt.
