HERE WE GO AGAIN! The last Sunday in October marks the date for most of the nation to set their clocks back one hour. The return from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time will be in effect across almost all of the United States. Exempt is most of Indiana! Indiana for many years now has been a divided time state, one which even though we have learned to live with, is still a clumsy situation for those who live around the time line such as the people of our area. Almost all of the state, including Walkerton, North Liberty, and all surrounding towns east, south and throughout the state, except for those west of us and also a cluster in another corner of the state, will not touch their clocks. We are on Eastern Daylight Time year round. However, our neighbors in Starke, LaPorte and all counties west to the Illinois state line, will move their clocks backward so we will have more than five months of different time. For the next few months, until the first Sunday in April, we will be coordinated with New York instead of Chicago. As stated before, this has been going on a long time and in fact, is a better set-up than we had in the times when each city and county selected which time they desired to be on. That really brought at least one winter of havoc. But even though we have adjusted to it and shifted times for many activities for these five plus months, it still is something that it seems could be worked out so the entire state could be on one time. It didn’t take the people of Indiana long to vote in a lottery when the mechanics got in motion ... but maybe that is more important than the time issue. Certainly it would be an advantage to most to have the state on one time, but it almost looks like something we will not see for quite some time. This appears to be on of those problems no one in government wants to attack so we just continue to go along on a divided basis. Anyway, this Sunday, the last Sunday in October, is the time most of the nation falls back into Standard Time. If you are directly involved, be sure you too turn your clock back before retiring Saturday night and get ready for another five plus months of split time in Indiana. F^remembeEJO aaML tiTHEN... JmM

A SUCCESSFUL "A Successful Fire Prevention” This year we taught a record 320 students fire safety and thanks to the Independent-News, we were able to reach the whole community with our fire prevention messages. Although I am very grateful for the letters sent by Senator Lawson and Congressman Hiler, there are others who should be recognized for their work. The teachers of St. Pat’s and Walkerton Elementary School for inviting us to put on the programs and also the other members of the Walkerton Fire Department for their support. A special thanks to Fireman Dennis Roberts. Jeff Baker and Tod Brems for their help at the schools. Remember fire prevention is recognized one week out of the year, but we feel that it should be practiced everyday of the year. Thank you.
