the special ed price hike equals the laying off of three full-time teachers. Druckemiller will not get rid of any more teachers for two reasons, one of which is the elimination of nine positions last summer. The other is that he believes staffing should be tied to enrollments, and not solely to budgets. He will add or cut teachers each year, as his enrollments rise and fall. He would prefer not to cut teachers solely because of monetary shortfalls. To help alleviate the anticipated funding crunch, Druckemiller is counting on smarter investments that will hopefully pay higher dividends. It is a simple theory: Do more with the reamining dollars. Admitting there will be some cuts in the GCSC’s educational program in the next school year, Druckemiller said, “we try to be optimistic in our approach.” THAT MEANS HE wants to work harder at increasing investment revenue. “Every dollar I can raise through wise investment is a dollar less out of that $280,000 shortfall,” Druckemiller said.

The newly-chartered club has 23 members who meet 7 a.m. every Tuesday at the inn. The club was welcomed to Rotary International by Jack and Marge Nankerbis, members of the North Melburne Rotary Club in Australia. Nankerbis presented the Cloverdale club with a small ban-

A winner at the Tri-County Fair Rodeo will be eligible to go to the nationals, Uhls pointed out. Prizes are expected to be well worth the young adults’ entry into the competition. All-around belt buckles will be awarded to the male and female competitiors, along with cash prizes. Money will also be raised to help send the winners to the national rodeo competition. SPECIAL ENTERTAINMENT is also lined up for the rodeo as Uhls said John Hayden, a professional rodeo clown, will be on hand. “He clowned at the International Finals in Tulsa and is con-

But he is sounding the trumpet call for a review of Old National Trail’s budget and methods. “As a cooperative, we have to review our costs very carefully,” he said, adding the six superintendents who act as the co-op’s board of directors have agreed to conduct such a review. DRUCKEMILLER SAID the cooperative also has to “review very carefully the educational impact of the program we are offering to our special education kids, and date it 1988.” Currently much of the program is being handled as a pull-out program. That means special education students are taken out of “regular” classrooms for certain periods during the day to work in small groups with Old National Trail teachers. Druckemiller said that is becoming an antiquated way of achieving the goal of creating the least restrictive environment for the special education students. “Pull-out programs are on a downward trend” nationally, he said, claiming educators now prefer mainstreaming as many special

sidered to be the top rodeo clown in the country,” Uhls said. Uhls emphasizes the rodeo itself will not cost the fair board any money. Basically, he and Davies are putting up die money for the rodeo with assistance from A 1 Carney Chevrolet and Buick in Greencastle and Mini Ranch Enterprises of Bainbridge, among others. Already, it appears the excitement is building for the first-ever Tri-County Fair Rodeo. “NOW THAT WE took the initiative, and got the ball rolling, I think everyone is pretty excited about it,” Uhls related. “The whole community has gotten behind it 100 percent,” he added, noting 400 advance tickets have already been sold. “We’re hoping to see at least

education students as possible into the “regular” classroom. BUT NEITHER THE budget review nor the program review relieve the frustration Druckemiller feels about this year’s increases. Though many of the cooperative’s costs are divided equally among the six members, other are not, becaused they are based on the number of students enrolled from each school system. Of those that are not shared equally the GCSC tends to pay the lion’s share of the cost because it tends to have the most students enrolled. The GCSC pays 41.06 percent of the teacher’s salaries, while only four of the 18 co-op teachers work solely in the GCSC. Another eight teachers share time between GCSC students and students from member school systems. Because the North Putnam school system is the Local Education Agency for the Old National Trail Cooperative, those teachers arc paid according to North Putnam’s pay scale, which runs higher than Greencastle’s. FOR EXAMPLE, the lowest salary in the NPCSC is $17,645, while the lowest salary in the

2,000 people in those two days,” Uhls predicted, encouraging all Putnam County residents to attend. “We can offer a good three hours of entertainment and it really is a good show.” Uhls hopes for the success of the Tri-County Rodeo, not for himself, but more for the Russellville community. “JEFF (DAVIES) AND I both showed (livestock) here,” Uhls noted of the Tri-County Fair. “This is our hometown and we hate to see it (the fair) go under. “And if there is anything we can do to stop it from going under, we won’t let it happen,” he added. “Even if we have to lose some of our own money on this, we’re willing to lose it. It’s something we’re willing to work for.”

GCSC is $16,969. The NPCSC’s highest salary is $33,234, while the GCSC’s highest salary is $30,722. Of the 18 teachers on the Old National Trail payroll, the lowest salary is $20,937, while the highest is $34,411. The GCSC also pays the biggest part of the teacher’s health insurance with Blue Cross-Blue Shield. Greencastle pays 41.8 percent of that budget item, which equals $14,036 in 1988-89. On the bottom line, Greencastle will pay 34.7 percent of the Old National Trail budget next year, while the next-largest contributor North Putnam will pay 23.2 percent. North Putnam saw a .03 percent increase in its cooperative costs. ON AVERAGE, the school systems saw a 5.2 percent increase in the special education costs, though South Putnam realized a 28.2 percent decrease in their costs. Paying $103,913 in 1987-88, the SPCSC will pay $101,549 in 1988-89. That is a $29,364 savings, and the only decrease in the cooperative. Attempts to contact Susan Price, director of the Old National Trail Cooperative, were unsuccessful.

City Police A Pepsi machine, located outside the Peoples Drugs store on North Jackson Street was broken into early Monday, it was reported Tuesday to Greencastle City Police. A lock securing the machine was cut off and a $lB5 loss was reported by manager Julie Wood. It was reported on Monday that the Coke machine, located outside the adjacent Kroger store, was broken into in similar fashion. Hook’s puts ipecac drug on recall To avoid the possibility of a potentially fatal poisoning caused by eucalyptus oil mislabeled as syrup of ipecac, Hook’s Drug Stores are offering as a public service to exchange bottles of Humco Brand syrup of ipecac free with Hook’s brand ipecac. Although Hook Drugs has never warehoused the Humco product, the action was prompted when as many as 200,000 bottles of the Humco brand syrup were incorrectly filled with eucalyptus oil earlier this year. CONSUMERS NEED only to bring the Humco Brand syrup to their Hook’s pharmacist for the free exchange, regardless of where the ipecac was purchased. Ipecac is used to induce vomiting in the case of accidental poisoning. As little as one teaspoon of eucalyptus oil given to a child could prove fatal.

The City Council, meanwhile, had indicated a desire to name a board member with children of elementary school age. McCall fills that bill. He and his wife Cathy have three young sons and reside at 312 Redbud Lane. “I’m very proud of the City Council in the way it approached this appointment,” Mayor Mike Harmless commented Tuesday. Sedlack, meanwhile, stressed that any of the three finalists would have been “excellent choices.” “ALL 14 WERE actually excellent candidates,” Sedlack praised,
