- THE INDEPENDENT-NEWS - OCTOBER 25, 1990

TIME FOR A CHANGE Sunday, October 28, is the last Sunday in the month of October and in most parts of the nation that means one thing, it is time for a change ... a time change that is. The majority of the country will revert from Daylight Savings Time back to Standard Time Sunday morning, and remain on this time until the first Sunday in April of 1991. One exception continues to be most of Indiana. Indiana is one of just a couple of states that remains on the same time year round. That is all of Indiana except for a couple of corers of the state which stay with their neighbors from other states. The northwestern corner of Indiana, six counties in all, is one of these sections. It includes LaPorte and Starke Counties, our immediate neighbors, putting us on the border line where the time issue must be remembered for many phases of everyday life. It all boils down to Indiana, minus these isolated areas, will now be joined by the Eastern States for five months plus. We will be on the same time as New York and an hour ahead of our immediate neighbor, Chicago. In our area probably as affected as anything, is the schools and school events. Participation with schools in the portion of the state that changes, usually leads to a compromise. The schools involved usually are left to work this out on their own. It also affects quite a few persons in their employment as well. A lot of people live in one time zone and work in another. Os course, this simply means adjusting their schedules to be at work on time . . . work won’t adjust for them. Probably the biggest one item however, is something that we let control us in many ways . . . television. For the next five months plus, our network television viewing will be affected. This seems to enter into more lives than work, school and the important things, but America has become and remains, a victim of the tube and consequently, TV often takes precedence over all. Primetime viewing will be an hour later. The late news becomes later, and local programing is altered to meet the new schedules. This is not really a life or death factor, but you wouldn’t know it by some people. Whatever the reason, all of us should remember that this Sunday most of the nation will change time. For the most part Indiana will remain the same, but work, school and activities may be affected beginning next week. Be aware of this change until next spring.

“Bingo Winner” There were many winners at the Keith Dipert Benefit last Saturday. Everyone who contributed or donated their time won a good feeling in helping out a local young man, Keith Dipert. You look great in that sweatshirt, Keith! We were all very happy to see you. Many businesses donated items to be raffled off and we were happy to do so. An extra large thank you to those generous people. The followong were winners of the various drawings, etc. 25/75, Bob Morical (I told you it was a winner); Independent-News, Ellen Miller (happy reading); Christmas Shop, Kay Anderson (have a good time); Walkerton Sporting Goods, Linda Craft (happy hunting); The Thomas Farms, Leßoy Smith (good eating); Pit Stop, Hoppy and Maryin Hochstetler (I hope you are harrassed as much as I am when I eat there); Brass Lion, Harold Knowlton (must be nice, read on); G’s Dockside, Pauline Knowlton (I can’t think of two nicer people to win); a cake donated by the committee, Mrs. Phillip Bukowski (it looked mighty good); and now for the squash donated by the Burket Produce. This is what I wanted to win, but didn’t. Stella Slight won and donated a sack back and said to redraw (I’ll get to that winner later). The next winner was Sonny Dipert (I tried to con him out of them, but to no avail). Then Louis Daube won the next draw (those were good pigs Louie). Back to that first redraw, yes I didn’t win. Morris Searfoss had purchased his tickets and lost, with a “thanks for nothing, Nedra”, off he went tossing his tickets at me. I tossed them in the trash. Well wouldn’t you know, he won and I delivered. Quit your griping Mo. I don’t know why I never win, I guess that maybe I should buy a ticket. Pam and Mike Elders did a great job on the hog roasting, donating their time and equipment and expertise. Thank you. There will be a thank you in next week’s paper for all the volunteers (when

REV. JERRY TRAVIS SPECIAL SPEAKER

I find out who they all were). Shirley, the beans were excellent and so was the potato salad, Gert and Sandi. Thanks Bouncer Rick! Those who contributed money and gifts, we, the Committee, heartily thank you. Nita Smith, your help will be long appreciated. Thanks Jon and Sonny for your help in the hog preparation. Roy is getting along fine and if you send him a card tell him to get well quickly. I’ve already told him the breakfast stops when he goes back to work. Well I had better get back to work. Oh yes, the Bingo winner! This person said, after cleaning us out of our money, that if she won a third game that she would treat us to a game. She did and she didn’t. A bunch of eaters came in and she had to go to work. I told you that 1 would get even, Kay Anderson. Hats and sweatshirts can be ordered if you want any, call and it will be done. Sincerely, Nedra Williams FOR THE HEART UPDATE We are pleased to announce that our "For The Heart” campaign has now passed $9,000.

FEATHER PARTY At LIBERTY LANES North Liberty Sunday, Nov. 11 2:30 p.m. Turkeys — Hams — Novelties

GFWC WALKERTON WOMAN’S COMMUNITY CLUB TO MEET The GFWC Walkerton Women,s Community Club met at the Community Building on Friday, October 19 with 22 members and one guest present. The meeting was opened with a poem read by the president, Ella Remus. Devotions were given by Carma Larson on the importance of making the most of today rather than worrying about what may happen tomorrow. The guest speaker was Bob Robertson of the Department of Natural Resourses. Mr. Robertson is a state biologist who has 23 years’ experience in looking out for our rivers, our fish, animals and birds, both game and non-game. His lovely slides were a reminder to those to take Indiana's beauty for granted that the Hoosiers have a lot of which to be proud. He informed the group about the endangered species for which his department is responsible, for protecting and increasing their numbers. He had slides showing the lakes, including Koontz Lake and the changes being made there. Koontz Lake has served as a research lake for his organization. The business meeting followed the program with the secretary’s reading correspondence from Olive Mankowski who is resigning and Caroline Danielewski who wishes to be placed in the Honorary Membership status. Lucille Dipert, the chairman for Goodwill Industries collected $42.00 from the members. Mildred Casey reminded the group that the next meeting on November 2 is a dinner at Al’s Diner at 6:30 p.m. fast time. Darlene Beaver and Josephine Nowakowski were absent due to illness. Both have recently undergone surgery. Birthday ladies were Alfreda Onika, sf)ldred Nolcheff and Carol Knop. Mildred won the drawing. Verda Karn read a humorous jingle titled "One Egg” and Nadine Keiper read a ghost story she had written for Halloween. The tables were decorated for Halloween and pumpkin and apple pie was served by Nadine Keiper and her hostess committee, Mary Steinhart, Carma Larson and Selma Pry. Reservations for the Nov. 2 dinner can be made by calling Mildred Casey. There are 500 sheets of paper in a ream. The only event in the first 13 Olympiads was a footrace of about 200 yards.
