ANOTHER CHAPTER IS WRITTEN I lection. NV. in now history I here was much pre-election speculation about this "off sear" election but on the whole, a higher voter turnout was evident over pre-election predictions. I his, although not high enough set. is a gexxi sign that mas be the voter apathy is starting to dssindie and the public once more is gaining more faith and taking a more active part in their governments . from local to counts to state to the national level. Not having any official returns at this carls deadline, the local elections did not earn toss mans surprises. In St. Joseph Counts it was almost as aiwavs. the Democrats successful in the counts races. Some g(H>d battles for state representative and senate posts did develop, with clean campaigns and goixf campaigns by the candidates resulting in most of the current members being returned in the area. Only a hotly contested senate race in northeastern St. Joseph County between incumbent Kovach and challenger Manion, resulted in an incumbent being upset in a very tight race. There were other dose races but without all the figures available we will not get into actualities. Os kxai interest. State Representatives Richard Mangus ( R-Lakeville) and Ed Cook (D-Ply mouth) were both returned for another two year term in w hat w ere pegged as some key races in this area. The record of these two has been verv sufficient and the voters apparently were aware of this to return the two for another term. The trustee's race in Lincoln Township. St. Joseph County . was a real close one with challenger Eva "Mickey" Hunt losing to the incumbent Llovd "Steve" Stephenson by just a handful of votes. 1 his also resulted in a split advisory board as the voters did show interest in the local races. It will almost be a relief to get away from the commercials and messages of the candidates for a w hile. And of course, the next national election, in 1980. will be a presidential election with Indiana also having a kev senate scat contested along with governor and most of the high ranking state offices. The campaign for 1980. although not officially underway until much later, is now already starting to have a lot of speculation surround it. In 19~9. completely seperate from any county, state or federal election. will be Town Council elections for Walkerton and North Liberty, another set of races that will be of great interest to the voters of the two towns and campaigns which should draw some real interest. It is almost a never-ending cycle even though the election dates themselves are spread apart by years. It is gratify ing to see that more interest seems to be evident in political races and regardless how much you may say it and how little it seems, each and every vote docs count and is your voice in your governments.

Leaf Burning Polluting Air (Editor's Note: This news release was issued on Fridas, November 3. from the St. Joseph County Health Department, bv Paul Irost, Pollution Control Officer.) Due to the unusually large number of complaints experienced by our office this year, we find it necessarv to inform citizens of our concerns about leaf burning. Leaf burning is leagl at this time of year both in the city and in the county; however, persons burning leaves should be reminded that due to inversions. caution should be taken as to when and how they burn, in versions are common at this time of year during the earlv morning and early evening hours. (An inversion is a meteorological condition in which the ground air is cooler than the layer of air above it and does not allow the pollutants being generated at the ground level to escape and be mixed.) Burning should not take place during these times due to the adverse impacts on the health of persons who are elderly and those who suffer from lung or heart disease. Since it is presently legal to burn leaves, persons who wish to do so should follow basic common sense quideiines; such as not burning wet leaves, burning in proper containers because of safety reasons, not allowing smoke to interfere with traffic, and burning when the wind

direction is such that it will not cause a problem for your neighbors. especially those with lung and heart problems. And. of course, obey the regulation which states no burning before TOO in the morning and after TOO in the evening. If due to meteorological conditions and continue abuse of coni mon sense guidelines bv a large number of persons in our commun itv. it mav become necessarv for this office to issue a temporary moratorium on burning.
