BRIDGING THE GAP—Researching is always more fun with a study partner. Books can bridge the gap between struggling students and their tutors, lovers at odds, parents sharing a happy thoughts witty youngsters, or lost souls looking for answers. Take the time to open one and find what you are seeking. Pictured: Sarah Sheets and Matt Gilley find a common interest within the pages of a single book. (AN photo by Merrie Chapman)

Year-end Review...

Continued from Page 4 into the next. NOVEMBER Entries into journals show thankfulness for blessings, as one enters into the fall of the year. These very special books of memories are valuable resources to future generations, as they read reports of activities from years ago, and learn information about family members and their friends and neighbors. If you’ve never kept a journal, perhaps now is the time to start. Dave Kiefer told the wolf’s side of several stories, at a special session held during Children’s Book Week, at the Nappanee Public Library. It was the golden anniversary reunion celebration for the Nappanee High School Class of 1944, with members enjoying two days of events, including a tour of the community, and celebration dinner. The Henry Maust family donated a painting and $5,000 to the library, Tisha Geyer and Nikki Tobias went to state swim competition in Indianapolis, the volleyball team fell to Mishawaka in regional competition, the Marshall building was demolished, to make room for more parking behind the library, and 16 North Wood athletes and Coach Dodson were honored as All-NLC football selections. G.L. Perry hosted its annual Christmas open house, as did flower shops and other local businesses—the season was rapidly approaching. Honor roll students earned special recognition, the Panthers fell short, 20-14, to St. Joe, in sectional football finals, Republicans swept county offices in the election process (as usual!), Phil Hahn & Associates moved into their new offices, and Andy Hirschy signed a letter of intent to attend Butler, on a full ride for his basketball and academic skills. Sports By Sullivan moved into a brand spanking-new building just east of town, Tom Duncan earned his Eagle Scout Award, Amy Grimm was honored for her perfect 4.OGPA at Purdue, the NWHS Drama Dept, presented “The Man Who Came to Dinner,” starring Nick Collins (watch for him —he’s headed for an Academy Award!), and Ron Ringenberg earned the F&Am Award of Gold. Fall MVP awards went to Tisha Geyer, Jami Heckaman, Heather Weidenhaft, Breea Masterson, Tim Bunch, Jon Metz, Brooke Tobias, Chad Newcomer and Andy Smith, winter sports were underway, and Pam Metz earned gymnastics honors with Brown’s Gym Stars. Jerry Rumple closed the pages of his telecommunications career, retiring after 37 years in the industry, most lately with Sprint/United Telephone. The Nappanee Chamber of Commerce, which he also served, planned an open house in his honor. DECEMBER The holidays approach—time to get out the recipe book and begin to prepare all the family favorites for sampling and gift-giving. Most families have all-time favorite cookies, candies, and, for Christmas dinner, Mom’s best recipes for sweet potatoes, date pudding, cranberry salad, and more, more, more. Following the holidays, it’s time to get out the books on how to trim the waistline, expanded by all the favorite holiday treats! The Nappanee EMS Department announced in December that it had set a new record for annual calls, recording

503 as of the first of the month. The holiday musical, “I Do! I Do!” delighted audiences in the round bam theater at Amish Acres, a Panther was sighted in the Foraker area, Santa breakfasted with the kids, Rotary donated funds for Mental Health Association Christmas gifting, and the booster club at NWHS offered a Gayle Sayers autographed jersey through drawing, with June Silvers the winner. Three-year-old Zachary Thompson was killed in a mobile home fire at Mikel Mobile Estates, students moved into the new Nappanee Elementary School—just in time to break for Christmas vacation, Wayne Scheumann was named the new Nappanee Park and Recreation Department Supt., effective January 1, and Nathan Canter, 13, announced that he was raising funds for a summer trip to the British Isles, as part of the People to People Student Ambassadors. Andy Hirschy set a new career scoring record for North Wood basketball, breaking Todd Grove’s total of I,l*lß, set in 1980, as he scored his 1,127 point—and early in the season, too! , A rash of car thefts was reported by the Nappanee Police Department, Cathy Stull talked of her involvement with the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program for abused children, the Linda Gochenour home was damaged by fire, Panther cagers broke Concord’s 12-game win streak over North Wood with a 62-48 victory at the Pit, and Vera Nizhnik, North Wood student formerly from the Ukraine, talked about her experiences in the U.S. Local police were involved in an almost-two-day standoff with a troubled young man at Meadows Mobile Home Park. The man threatened suicide, and later did shoot himself, although not fatally. The standoff lasted from late Christmas Eve through December 26. North Wood senior Jake Sellon was writing the book on how to take the SAT, scoring a perfect 800 on the math portion of his test. For the year, the Advance-News staff was delighted to print the good news regarding 45 engagements and 28 weddings. In addition, announcements were made of 29 anniversary celebrations, including 13 golden and six silver occasions. A total of 153 births was recorded, with sons outnumbering daughters, 89-64. There were 151 deaths reported, most local, some very tragic, and several regarding those who were no longer officially a part of the Nappanee community, although family and/or friends remain here, and were quick to make the local connection. We are now entering the new year, with opportunities of all kinds stretching out ahead. Remember to take time for books —they open a whole new world for young and old. Library shelves are filled —with books begging to be checked out for your enjoyment. It is a good book when it is opened with expectation, and closed with delight and profit. Happy 1995!

4 Thanks We cannot know what lies ahead From day to passing day, What changes God is planning In his wise and loving way. We cannot know the reasons He allows both joy and tears , Why we must lose the precious ones we've cherished through the years. We never lose the ones we love for, even though they re gone, Within the hearts of those who care , their memory lingers on. In Loving Memory: Ruby McCarty who passed away on Dec. 30,1993 With love, The John Elliott Family and The John McCarty Family
