Depressed?

Discouraged? Come join a celebration of life at Women Together at the Walkerton Community Building on Thursday, January 16. Light refreshments will be served at 9:00 a m. and the meeting will begin at 9:30 a m. Pati Meyer will be ministering life at this meeting. Born in New York and raised in California. Pati is now a local mother of two. She has a real word from the Lord to share! BOARD EXPLAINS HOURS FOR OFFICE OF TOWN CLERK Because there has been some questions arising on the hours of the Gerk Treasurer's Office, we hope this press release will explain the reason for set hours of 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Town Board established these set hours in order to comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act effective April of 1985. This act required the cities and towns to determine a set work week for each department. A description of a work week is “A workweek is a fixed and regularly recurring period of 168 hours (seven consecutive 24 hour periods). Once it has been set. it can be changed only if the change is to be permanent and is not designed to evade the overtime requirements of the act.” Former Residents Open Home To Travelers In Pa. Individuals from northern or central Indiana who travel East may soon gain a new understanding of the slogan, “You Have A Friend In Pennsylvania”. Former residents Randall and Margaret Yoder, R.F.D. l.Box 312, Huntingdon, PA, have opened a Bed and Breakfast in their new location. It provides a homey atmosphere, comfortable guest facilities and a Continental breakfast for a modest fee to persons traveling through Central Pennsylvania. Located one mile west of Huntingdon. PA. the Yoder residence is located only four hours from Washington, D.C., four hours from Baltimore and eight hours from Boston. One can drive to the Yoder’s home in a day from Indiana, then enjoy a good night's rest before continuing a journey. Because the Yoder’s house is situated on the north side of State Road 22, the major highway linking Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, it is easy to find and extremely accessible to travelers. Both of the Yoders were bom in Indiana: Margaret (Mangus) in North Liberty and Randall in Goshen. Margaret is a 1966 graduate of North Liberty High School and Randall is a 1965 graduate of Goshen High School. Both graduated from Manchester College, North Manchester, Randall in 1969 and Margaret in 1970. And both received their Masters degrees in 1974 — Randall, a Master of Divinity degree from Bethany Theological Seminary in Oak Brook, Illinois, and Margaret, a Master of Science degree in Education with a specialization in Community College Instruction (in English) from Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, 111. The Yoders have two children, Brian Christopher. 11, who is a fifth-grader at Juniata Valley School, Alexandria, Pa., and AnneMichelle, 5, who attends Juniata College Early Childhood Education Center in Huntingdon. From 1974 to Januarf of 1985, the Yoders resided in Kokomo, where Randall pastored the Kokomo Church of the Brethren and Margaret served as an associate faculty member in English at Indiana University at Kokomo. When the Yoders moved to Penn-

svlvania, Randall became District Minister for the 55 Churches of the Brethren located in Middle Pennsynvania District and Margaret opened Yoder's Bed and Breakfast. “We want our friends in Indiana to know that we are strategically located in Pennsylvania to offer them overnight lodging in case thev are traveling our way,” Margaret stated. “This area has relatively few overnight accomodations for travelers, although Lake Raystown. located only 10 minutes from our house, annually attracts over one and a half million visitors. Central Pennsylvania, a rather sparsley populated area if one compares it to other sections of the state, is strikingly beautiful and possesses a rugged charm that few can resist. We're sure that many Hoosiers traveled to State College, Pa, when the Notre Dame and Penn State football game occured in October. How many of these travelers, many of whom probably experienced difficulty in finding lodging in the area, know that our Bed and Breakfast is available? Whatever your interest — skiing, hiking, fishing, hunting or a myriad of other outdoor activities — Central Pennsylvania offers many recreational possibilities. “Experiencing the wildlife has undoubtedly provided our greatest thrill since moving here,” Randall explained. “There are black bears, white-tailed deer and bobcats. in addition to the more commonly seen examples of backyard wildlife. We have seen wild turkeys, ruffled grouse and other game birds in our front yard. Our back yard, which opens on to a 200 acre forest, has hosted deer and bears.” “Persons interested in booking a reservation at Yoder's Bed and Breakfast should call (814 ) 6433221 as soon as they know they are traveling our way,” Margaret says. "It is not unusual for us to receive three calls per day for accommodations during peak (summer) season. Except for persons who have booked reservations with us, it’s a first-come, first-served situation. Thus far we are really enjoying our bed and breakfast venture!” R.E.A.L.

Skiles And Pavey Scoring Paces Win Over Triton 77-59 The John Glenn Falcons broke a first quarter tic and moved to an eight point lead by the halftime and then added to their advantage in the third quarter to coast home to a 77-59 victory over Triton Saturday night. It was the second win over Triton this season as the Falcons had also easily defeated the Trojans in the first round of the Culver Holiday Tourney. The win pulled Glenn to a 4-5 mark on the season while Triton has won only once in 10 tries this year. It was a good one-two punch offensively for the Falcons with decent support from the rest of the team that accounted for the big point production. Troy Skiles, who really found himself offensively at North Judson the night before, poured in 25 points while Wes Pavey closely followed with 24. With a little more support from the rest of the team, this sparked the attack as seven different players scored in the first half to help gain the advantage. The first quarter was fairly even throughout and the two teams ended the eight minutes knotted at 15 each. However, a nine point spurt by Skiles, aided by six points by Pavey, turned the second stanza into a strong Falcon period to move to a safe 36-28 lead. The game was decided in the third quarter. Triton needed a big quarter to stay in contention, but it was a 20 point Falcon attack that outscored the Trojans 20-9 to put the game on ice. Pavey and Skiles each had three baskets in this period to lead the way. A lot of the fourth quarter was handled by the bench, however, the short-handed Triton team only dresses eight players and the bench is pretty thin for them. The final 18 point margin of victory was determined by a free scoring last quarter that found 43 points being scored by the two teams. Skiles totaled his 25 on 10 baskets and five of six from the foul line. Pavey was the jewel of consistency with three baskets each period for his 12 field goal effort for 24 points. He did not attempt a free throw in the game. For the Trojans, Shively and Williamson reached double figures with 19 and 11 respectively. Glenn pulled down 35 rebounds to 26 for the Trojans in this game. B-Team Wing Again The Glenn B-Team won their second game in two nights with another close victory. 38-37 over the Trojans in the preliminary game.
