The annual festival has undergone some changes both in recent years and for this year’s version. The festival was taken over by the Lions Club in recent years for various reasons from a committee of volunteers who worked long and hard for many years to make this the successful event it was. It continues to be a success but this year they are trying something different ... a later date to avoid conflicts they have had in recent years, and also the extending of some events to Sunday, making it a three-day event overall. Once again it will be a festival with a wide variety of activities and booths offering something for just about everyone during the three day event. Proceedings will start Friday, September 12, at 12:00 noon. Saturday, the booths open at 9:00 a.m. and on Sunday, a Community-wide Church Service will be held at 8:30 a.m. in the Ist Source Bank parking lot with other activities starting at noon. The bank parking lot will be the center of activity for most of the entertainment for the three days with other locations only used when necessary due to space requirements, etc. This is just one more example of who a small town can and did successfully grab hold of an opportunity and turn it into a very successful event. We wish the sponsors the best of luck, good weather and urge anyone interested at all in crafts, food, entertainment, etc., to take advantage of the opportunity right here in our midst and be a part of the 1990 Potato Creek Festival.

' ■ j “Decision Soon” Dear Fiends and Colleagues: A decision from the arbitrator should be received this week regarding my return to my professional career in education in the J.G.S.C. I have informed the administration on two occasions that I am available to be employed. Sherri is a full-time teacher in the Mishawaka Family and Children’s Center. I am coaching boy’s tennis at LaVille H.S. and have received much respect and appreciation from the students, parents. teachers, and the administration. We appreciate all your concerns you have given us in and throughout this 7‘/i month ordeal. We will always be grateful for the open and public support given. Our desire is to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. We have nothing to hide or keep from sharing with those of you who question or ask. God bless all of you. Dick Kickbush and Family Dear Editor. H R. 4079, which is being studied in committee now. if passed Would immediately declare the existence of a National Drug and Crime Emergency for five years. This bill if it becomes law will nullify the Bill of Rights. How? The American people would instantly be faced with rule by a series of executive orders by several presidents since World War 11. These executive orders call for the suspension of civil rights and liberties and for extraordinary measures to be taken in, as most of the orders state, “any national security emergency situation that might confront the nation.” Some of these are: E.O. 10995, which provides for takeover of the aimmunications media. E.O. 10997, which provides for the takeover of all electric power, petroleum, gas. fuels and minerals. E.O. 10988. which provides for the takeover of all food resources and farms. E.O. 10999. which provides for takeover of all modes of transportation, control of highways, seaports, etc. E.O. 11000, which provides for mobilization of all civilians into work brigades under government supervision. E.O. 11001, which provides for

governmental takeover of all health, education and welfare functions. E.O. 11002, designates the postmaster general to operate a national registration of all persons. E.O. 11004, which provides for the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate communities, designate areas to be abandoned and establish new locations for populations. E.O. 11005, which provides for takeover of railroads, inland waterways and public storage facilities. President Nixon neatly combined all of the above into one Executive Order. No. 11490. The above would be carried out by the littleknown agency of the U.S. government known as the Federal Emergency Management Agency or FEMA. President Reagan signed E.O. 12656 defining such an emergency as “any occurrence, including natural disaster, military attack, technological emergency or other emergency, that seriously degrades or seriously threaten the national security of the United States." Parts of H.R. 4079 (sponsored by Gingrich) have already been passed by the U.S. Senate “omnibus anti-crime bill” July 11. 1990. H R. 4079 also includes provisions for using tents and other shelters, similar to those used to confine Japanese-Americans during World War 11, and military facilities, for the confinement of state and federal “violent criminals." If this scares you please contact your Congressman today. Yours truly, Lucy Covington 1841 E. 10th St. Hobart, IN 46342 JOINT FUND RAISER The Liberty Twp. Fire Department and Liberty Twp. Ambulance Service are joining forces to stage a aimbined fund raising project with the proceeds going towards the purchase of emergency equipment. The fire department is looking to purchase a Hurst tool, commonly known as “The Jaws of Life.” This piece of equipment has many applications, but its mostly commonly known for its effectiveness in removing victims trapped in automobiles as a result of accidents. “The Jaws" make extrication of a patient from a vehicle much quicker and at the same time reduces the risk of further injury to the patient that may result from the use of other acceptable, but now

outdated methods. The use of “The Jaws” allows the patient to remain in a stable position and not have to experience the unccessary movement of the passenger compartment that often occurs when pry bars and other techniques are used. The ambulance service is going to purchase two semi-automatic defibrillators, two monitors, chargers. cases, and other necessary equipment needed in the use and maintenance of the defibrillators. With the use of this equipment, the service hopes to enhance the level of service offered to cardiac patients. We feel this is especially important with the distance to our local hospitals being as great as it is. Statistics indicate that rapid defibrillation along with CPR improves a patient's chance of survival. A drawing is going to be held in conjunction with the Liberty Twp. Fireman’s Feather Party. Saturday November 3. 7:00 p.m. at the North Liberty VFW. The drawing’s top prize will be SI,OOO with the first number pulled receiving $20.00. Every twentieth number drawn will receive $50.00. We would deeply appreciate your support with this project and at the same time hope to improve the quality of our service to you. Contact any Liberty Twp. firefighter or Liberty Twp. ambulance person for tickets or additional information.
