TIME CHANGES SUNDAY Although we in Walkerton and North Liberty, and most of Indiana, do not change our clocks, the time change will be made Sunday morning early, that will put most of the country back on standard time. All but two portions of Indiana stay on Eastern Standard Time all year round. This simply means that for the next six months we are scheduled to be on the same time as New York, instead of our neighbor Chicago. Also, being located where we are right at the time zone line, many local activities will be very directly affected. For the next six months, basically anything west of us will be an hour later. School activities usually compromise their differences by 30 minutes, but most other functions in the area to our west, especially once you get to the Calumet area, will be one hour behind us. Much has been said and written, but it still is a very akward position for anyone who lives near the time line. To have the state chopped up the way it is makes for many inconveniences . . . and don’t forget that very important item to many people . . . television programming will change also. Just don’t forget any activities that may be affected, will change come this Sunday morning. MEETING THIS THURSDAY Just a reminder to let the residents of the John Glenn School Corporation area, that the public input meeting originally scheduled for this past Tuesday, October 22, was rescheduled for Thursday night, October 24. This will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Urey gym. Dr. Day, of Indiana University, who conducted the longrange study, will chair the meeting and be available again, as he was in North Liberty a couple of weeks ago, to explain the report and answer questions from the public. An added feature has been announced by the administration, that being the opening of the Urey school building an hour previous, at 6:30, for anyone who is interested to tour the facility. This is one of the key areas in the facility portion of the report, and the building will be open for anyone interested to tour prior to the meeting in the gymnasium. If at all possible, try to attend Thursday night ... it is your school corporation and your taxing unit that is being studied. ^^Temembe^^

Gloria Schleck of 504 Jackson Street, contacted the Children’s Wish Foundation of Indianapolis concerning her nieces, Heather and Holly Mattke, of Sparta, Wisconsin, both girls suffer from Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease which kills more children than muscular dystrophy and diabetes combined. It is the leading cause of death in persons under the age of 20. CF is not as well known as the popular diseases because the children appear to be in good health, 20 years ago was birth to five years. Through research, the average life span of a person with CF is now 20 years. CF is a disease of the pulmonary system and of the digestive tract. The girls have frequent pneumonias that require intravenous antibiotic therapy. The disease is never cured, only controlled. Because of a non-functioning pancrease, the girls take enzymes to help digest their food each time they eat. Along with physical therapy done by their parents twice daily to clear the lungs, Heather and Holly together take as many as 120 pills daily that include antibiotics, vitamins, potassium, enzymes and bronchial dialators. The dialtors help thin the mucus in the lungs. This is very important because the mucus builds up in the lungs and the resulting pockets of trapped bacteria are the cause of pneumonia. Normal routines such as school become problems. As CF is a hidden handicap, it is difficult if not impossible to look at them and tell that they have a terminal disease, until you hear the tell-tale cough. CF is a disease that progresses in stages. Along with the progression of the disease, the family has many other emotional hurdles to overcome. Thanks to the girls’ aunt, they will get to enjoy life a little more. Their wish will come true on November 6, 1985.

Robert (Bob) Tuttle, a lifetime resident of Walkerton, is the girls maternal grandfather. From time to time he travels to Wisconsin to aid in caring for the girls. He is completely familiar with the daily routine of issuing drugs in proper dosages and doing the required physical therapy. Symptoms to look for in a suspected CF child: — Recurrent wheezing; — Persistent coughing/Excessive mucus; — Excessive appetite with poor weight gain; — Pneumonia more than once; — Cubbing (enlargement of fingertips); Salty taste of the skin; Bulky foul smelling stools; — Nasal polyps.
