62 years. Dr. Abel has a long history with the company as he was the medical director for Utilimaster when it was a part of the Holiday Rambler Corporation in 1957. His current practice, the Wa-Nee Medical Walk-In Qinic, is attached to a building on the Utilimaster complex. Dr. Abel stated that he believed the move was a "good opportunity for the company to be all under one roof."

Hopeful not to have to relocate himself, he looks upon the uncertain changes due to effect his practice optimistically because he believes himself and the town of Wakarusa to be "resilient." He said he feels that the "good strong work ethics of the working people in Wakarusa will easily attract new industry" to the ___ _ » area. Dr. Abel, a member of the Chamber of Commerce since it was formed in 1962, wasn't aware of any prospects scoping out the expansive property in Wakarusa, but he believes it will only be a short matter of time before buyers announce their interests. As stated by Forbes, and confirmed by the executive chamber member, Utilimaster will help market the property to buyers and will "work with the town council to create new opportunities for Wakarusa." Forbes affirmed that he will "work with the town that has been Utilimaster's home for years to make this a good opportunity for all." The success of the locally owned and expanding Utilimaster Company is bittersweet for some. However, the move will best accommodate the success of Utilimaster, and provide Wakarusa with boundless possibilities to gain from the soon to be vacant property. iA A A DEAN’S LIST BETHEL COLLEGE MISHAWAKA —The 2011 fall semester dean's list at Bethel College in Mishawaka carries the names of 585 students according to Vice President for Academic Services Bradley Smith, Ph.D. Eligibility for the dean's list requires a 3.5 GPA with 12 or more semester hours.
