awareness of the judge’s responsibility to make fair and impartial decisions. Long an active volunteer in many school and community activities in the Middlebury School Corporation, Schwartz says she seeks the office of judge because she feels that her professional training, as well as her life experiences, qualify her. She believes, she says, that “Being a good judge doesn’t mean making decisions that people will always agree with—it means making decisions that people will respect — Sheets announces committees Amos J. Sheets, Nappanee, candidate for the Republican nomination for Third District County Commissioner, has announced members of his campaign staff. Serving on the Sheets For Commissioner Advisory Committee are Ron Brookins, June Cleveland, Mel Kemp, Tom Mast, Lyle Menges and Carl Yoder. Jo Hamman is serving as treasurer, and Dan Sheets, son of Amos Sheets, is campaign manager. In addition, Mr. Sheets has named 28 other persons as members of his committee. He said, “I have <to admit that at first I had some doubts, after announcing my candidacy. But the response has been overwhelming. Everyone I have talked to has been very supportive, and offered to help.” He purposely chose is son as campaign manager because he felt he could better control the message and direction of his campaign, saying “This is the first campaign for both of us, so we’re both learning as we go along.” An added benefit, he said, is the opportunity for father and son to work together toward a common goal. The younger Sheets said, “We haven’t spent this much time together since I left home for college 25 years ago, and regardless of whether or not Dad wins the Republican nomination for coqnfy commissioner on May 7, it has been an honor to work in his campaign.”
