Voice Os The People “Mixed Emotions 0 It is with mixed emotions that another tradition will end this Friday since we have sold the business to allow us to prepare for our retirement. To show and express our appreciation to all who have patronized us during out seven years in business, we can only say thanks and hope that we have served you well in the quality of food and service that made us proud to have had the opportunity to do so. It was always a dream of mine since college to own and operate a drive-in and since Walkerton has always had a drive-in, the chance rump in 19R7 The business was also a psychological therapy for us during our 1990 school crisis and the support given to us during that most stressful time. We encourage everyone to continue to support all our local businesses as you have us during our years in business. God bless everyone. Our love and affection to all. Dick and Sherri Kickbush Mark and Bert Kickbush “A Night At The Koontz House” Maybe I will get Roy to take me out to the Koontz House for a night's stay. With my W.I.N. coupon, we would get five dollars off. I also know that Jan makes the best breakfast the next morning. While we’re out there, 1 had better sign up for a $50.00 savings bond being given by Rannells Funeral Home. Maybe you would like steak and eggs for breakfast, or after a football game. Get to Boomers in North Liberty any Friday or Saturday. Two meals for just $5.95. Remember that you have to be there between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Dixie from the Hair Shack, said that she could give me a set of fingernails for $5.00 off with my W.I.N. coupon. 1 would probably have to have a new set every week. What you need is a W.I.N. Book to take advantage of these and many more great buys. Just look for the yellow sign W.I.N. Coupon Books sold here. I have mixed feelings about Urey Middle School using Place Park as a recreation area. We seem to be losing a lot of areas that we formerly had in town. The tennis courts are gone as is the horseshoe pits. The Youth Building is no more just youth used. I know that changes are necessary for financial and other reasons, but it makes me sad to see things disappear. We need more than just schools and houses in town. We need places for activities and maybe just quiet time. Don’t forget to buy Great Pumpkin raffle tickets. Sincerely, Nedra Williams

Hebenstreit, Executive Secretary Kevin J. Schaefer, Chairman STATE ANNOUNCES FIRST LAND PURCHASES WITH ENVIRONMENTAL UCENSE PLATE PROCEEDS Governor Even Bayh announced purchase of the first parcels of land using proceeds of the Indiana Environmental License Plate. Four sites, totaling 178 acres, have been purchased for a total of $176,750, the governor announced. “These purchases mark a milestone for the Indiana Heritage Trust’’, said Gov. Bayh. “They are tangible proof of Hoosiers’ willingness to protect Indiana’s precious natural heritage, and their love of areas for conservation, preservation and recreation,” he said. Most conspicuous of the four sites is a 30-acre inholding in Yellowwood State Forest in Brown County. That area was the site of a proposed radio transmission tower that met with strong local opposition. Now that area is in the public trust, said Governor Bayh, it will forever be protected from such developers. Also purchased were two parcels totaling 147 acres alolng the Blue River in Harrison ounty and a small inholding in Little Lake Chapman Nature Preserve in Kosciusko County. Inholdings are pri-vately-owned areas within or adjacent to public property, which make proper land management difficult. “As Hoosiers continue to buy Environmental License Plates, we will see more and more such areas throughout the state purchased under the Indiana Heritage Trust,” said Governor Bayh. Another 2092 acres are in the acquisition process, he said, with an additional 540 acres recently approved to begin that process. Through July 30, 1994, a total of 66,693 Environmental License Plates have been sold, raising $1,667,325 for the Indiana Heritage Trust land acquistion program. Each license plate represents a $25 donation to the Trust; there is an additional $lO administrative fee for each plate.

More News From The Walkerton Historical Society (continued from August 4) In 1927 we had again outgrown our quarters and after much discussion and investigation it was decided to form a corporation and purchase the present home. In passing it might be said that much of the success of Pine Creek Arbor has been due to the splendid cooperation the officers and members have received from such workers as: John Livingston, Frank Henderson, William Byers, Frank Goodyear, Palmer Landon, L. B. Campbell, O. A. Shuart and J. L. Cochran, Organizers. And to Mrs. Palmer Landon, Mrs. Chas. Midgley, Miss Lucia Bellamy, Mrs. O. A. Shuart and Mrs. Minnie Wright, Lecture Bureau Workers. Mr. J. L. Cochran being our present organizer, we are indeed grateful to him for the splendid cooperation he has given us. After 25 years we still have 11 of our Charter Members enrolled on our Membership record. Two charter members, Mr. and Mrs. William Bellinger have been called

by death, but who were loyal members of the Order to the last. Providence has indeed been kind to Pine Creek Arbor in as much as but five death claims have been issued in the 25 years of the Arbor's existence. Today we have 267 members on our enrollment — adults 221 —juniors 46. The following officers are in charge: Chief Gleaner, Allen Hostetler; Vice Chief Gleaner, Earl Knowlton; Secretary-treasurer, Mary Anderson; Chaplain, Gertie Dipert; Lecturer, Arthur Sheaks; Conductor, George Anderson; Conductress, Lois Kelver; InnerGuard, Paul Shedrick; outerGuard, Arthur Comer. We also have a splendid group of Juniors whose Council work is under the direction of Miss Marie Wright of the Gleaner’ Juvenile Department. What is the Clique? ’Tis those who attendd All of the meetings, on whom we depend, They never are absent unless they are sick — These are the ones the grouch caHs “The Clique”. The ones who are never behind with their dues, Who come to the meetings and have their own views, They'll serve on committees and never say “die” The Gique are the ones that always get by. We all should be proud of members like these — You can call the the “Clique'' or what-ever you please. They never attempt any duties to shirk — These are “The Clique" that do most of the work. But there are some people who always find fault, And most of these kind are not worth their salt, They like to start trouble, seldom will stick; But they always put all the work on “The Clique”. (The above is an example of items that you, the public perhaps have in your possession. Would you allow the Walkerton Historical Society to copy such items for our records? Articles such as this gives the Society added history of the area. If in doubt as to what is desired, please contact the Walkerton Historical Society who is always appreciative of any donation.) STROKES COST AMERICA HEAVY MONEY! (HNN) — Strokes cost America at least S3O billion a year, but the individual costs range from SII,OOO to $70,000 a patient and does not always comelate with survival, reports Health New Network, the news service of the Indiana Association of Osteopathic Physicians & Surgeons. Why such a disparity in the costs? “That's the $64,000 question, said study author Dr. David Matchar of Duke University, “we are now trying to understand the relationship between what we do, what it costs and what it accomplishes.” Strokes are America's third leading killer after heart disease and cancer. Strokes strike about 500,000 a year, killing 150,000 and leaving other unable to move or even speak. Strokes are caused when a blood clot or fatty deposit blocks an artery or a blood vessel hemorrhages in the brain, killing brain cells. There is no approved procedure that stops a stroke. All doctors can do is help patients recuperate. This is the first time a price tag has been put on strokes. The cost more than all other illnesses except heart disease and cancer. The average medical cost per stroke patient is $15,000. One in 10 patients has bills of more than $35,000. Eleven percent die during their initial hospitalization. After three months 20% had died. Forty-five percent left the hospital for a rehabilitation center or nursing home.
