Eila B. Martin, 93, Brazil, died Monday morning at Clay County Health Center, Brazil. Bom in Edgar County, 111., on July 23, 1895, she was the daughter of Elmer and Alice (Roberts) Brooks.

Board of Works

DALTON ASPHALT won the bid on the original Fillmore Road project. The additional work is expect to take 30 days from notice to proceed. The Fillmore Road bid was the only item on Tuesday’s special meeting agenda. The Board of Works comprised of Mayor Mike Harmless, Bill Lawrence and Dorothy Crawley will consider two items of new business Thursday afternoon. The board will consider a resolution accepting the facilities of the 240 Water Carp, as part of the city water system. Harmless explained

Gov. Bayh

rather than welfare recipients and productive, model young people rather than juvenile delinquents. “It makes so much sense. Statistics over and over again indicate on just a per-student basis we can save more than $7,000 total in welfare payments. We can save more than $20,000 in correctional costs and more than $5,000 in retraining costs if we reach out to those kids and get them started on the right track.” The governor said his administration will be adamant about a balanced budget, while at the same time looking toward progress in not only education, but economic development, care for the elderly and the disabled.

South Putnam

The staff members are the school food service director, the school nurse and five school secretaries. Since the $15,404 total needed for the action is not in the school system’s current budget, the board deferred die action until Jan. 1, 1990, so that the needed funds could be figured into the 1989-90 budget The coverage goes into effect July 31 and will cover the previous years already served by the employees. HARKENING BACK to the money issue surrounding the bus routing, board member Sherman Hacker asked Hammond if the retirement program had to cover the employees’ back time. “If we start them at zero years, it could be considerably cheaper,” he said. Hammond said that covering previous years service would keep the program consistent with the other non-certified employees. The board also voted to put a new high school teacher on regular contract for the remainder of this school year and for the 1989-90 year. Kurt Scott will be the instrumental and vocal music instructor at South Putnam High School. THE BOARD ADDED Scott for next year under the recommendation of high school principal Ken Tllford. Hammond said that hiring Scott for the next school year would let Tllford know that he had someone to fill that position. The board renewed its boiler and burner maintenance contract with Burgess Boiler. The Indianapolis company has serviced South Putnam schools for the past three years, Hammond

Eila B. Martin

Survivors include a son, Ted Bratzler, Pueblo, Colo.; two stepdaughters, Grace Hutcheson, Brazil, and Louana Raab, Effingham, 111.; a grandson, a step-granddaughter, a step-great-granddaughter and two step-great-great-grandchildren. Services will be conducted at 10 a.m. Friday at Miller Memorial Chapel, Brazil, with Rev. Warren Whittington, pastor of Cray’s Creek Church in Putnam County, officiating. Burial will follow at Young America Cemetery in Hume, 111. Friends may call 5-8 p.m. Thursday at the Brazil chapel.

that 240 Water officials have asked the city to take over the system, which has no debts and appears structurally sound. The 240 Corp. presently buys city water and passes it on to customers adjacent to the city limits. THE 240 SYSTEM, which runs to Chadd Valley on the east, would be donated to the city, which must accept it via resolution and then request Public Service Commission approval of the plan, the mayor noted. Also on the agenda is authorization of the purchase of a truck for the Sewage Department.

Bayh ended his speech, quoting words written but undelivered by the late President John F. Kennedy. And instead of leaving the Walden Inn in a rush for Indianapolis, the 33-year-old governor stayed to greet most of the 200 persons in attendance, holding court at the door to the Emerson Room as each of the guests passed by. MEANWHILE, Putnam County Democrat Chairman Gene Clodfelter announced that the party’s annual Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. June 16 at the Community Building on the local fairgrounds. Congressman Jim Jontz (D-sth District) will be the speaker.

said. This year the firm cut it service contract cost almost in half with a $3,658 price tag. New parts will be billed extra. For the benefit of budgeting purposes, the board decided to change its renewal date for Blue Cross/Blue Shield coverage from Nov. 20 to July 20. HAMMOND SAID the change would let the board know exactly what the insurance coverage would cost. The board granted a request for a professional day for an administrative intern to attend a school law conference at Indiana State University in late April. Bonnie Flora of Central Elementary will take the personal leave. The Fillmore Youth Leage was given permission to build an outdoors restroom at the elementary school’s baseball diamond. THE FACILITY WILL be constructed of concrete block with a metal roof and will hook into existing water lines at the site. Hammond said the restrooms will tie in with the school’s septic system. Since the old sewage line does not drain properly and needs replaced, the new restroom presents an opportunity for repair work. The county board of health will allow the hook-up, Hammond said. The water bills will be absorbed by the school, he said, since a water line already runs out to the diamond. The youth league will be responsible for the maintenance of the facility. A request by a parent who teaches at all of die school system’s elementaries was put on hold by board. SUE PITTS ASKED for a change in her child’s attendance

Sporting grime from a Tuesday afternoon pig scramble, television sportscaster Dennis “Scramble” Campbell of WTWO, Channel 2, Terre Haute, and Putnam County 4-H member Cory Hutcheson, Route 1, Reelsville, rest out-

Campbell, pig, 4-Her scramble

By LISA MEYER Banner-Graphic Staff Writer Catching a greased pig may not be a sport registered with the International Olympic Committee, but it’s enough of a challenge to earn a few minutes on area television. The Putnam County 4-H swine members issued such a Sports Challenge to Dennis Campbell of WTWO channel 2 in Terre Haute. Campbell showed up at the Putnam County Fairgrounds on Tuesday afternoon for a hog-wild time. CAMPBELL FACED 4-H member Cory Hutcheson and two white pigs in a ring surrounded by several amused on-lookers. The object of the competition was to catch

district for transportation reasons. Mrs. Pitts lives in the Reelsville district and has pre-enrolled her child there, but since she must travel to all three elementary schools each day, she asked that her child be allowed to attend Central Elementary School. Mrs. Pitts said that both Reelsville and Central school buses go past her house, and the Central bus goes past her babysitter’s house. Board member Jackie Schleuter said she thought the request was allowable for one of the school system’s teachers, making it easier on those who commute from school to school. BOARD MEMBER Mike Rissler suggested that the board table the request to look into the matter, but tell Mrs. Pitts its decision in advance of the next school year. In his superintendent’s report, Hammond told the board that kindergarten pre-enrollment numbers for 1989-90 total 69. He told the board that 29 children pre-enrolled at Reelsville, 23 at Fillmore, and 14 at Fillmore with three more prospective students at the easternmost school. Those numbers, however, could decline, he said. Hammond estimated that the school system will be less 35 to 40 students next year. In an article in Tuesday’s Ban-ner-Graphic on computerized bus routing at South Putnam, it was incorrectly stated that Central Elementary School children stay in class longer than their Reelsville and Fillmore counterparts. Currently, Reelsville and Fillmore students spend 55 minutes more per day in class than Central students.

a greased pig and put it into a holding pen. As sports director at WTWO, Campbell periodically runs a Sports Challenge segment on the channel 2 evening news broadcast in which he accepts invitations from television viewers to compete in “sporting” events. Neither Hutcheson nor Campbell had ever been in a pig scramble, so the odds were about even. But when the competition began, it didn’t take long for the spry, young Hutcheson to tackle his pig and pen it In fact, Hutcheson corralled both of the squealing swine in less than three minutes to win the competition.

Co. County set to meet on Thursday
