Not fact but fiction

Dear Editor: Two words, vigilant and veiled, worlds apart in meaning, come to mind in unison when reviewing your coverage of Will Erwin s visit to Syracuse October 5 and the week later follow-up m your "Cruzin’ around 'Cuse ". Really, did you think Mr Erwin would dash around to find a copy of Earl Butz’s remarks m Rolling Stone’ Remember. Erwin has no paid staff for that sort of thing nor has he. himself, the time for it He deals with government issues. his knowledge of facts and figures outstripping his concern for personality punctures Beyond that. Will Erwin is a devout Christian and Bible student which probably accounts for his high character and unwavering honesty His answer that he’d heard four reported versions of Earl Butz's remark was honest Why the innuendo that it was a cover up’’ Is it too deep to fathom that an honest man is running for a federal office’ I could state facts and figures on this term's voting records in congress but hesitate publication for fear it would crystallize into distortions, the valuable facts being lost in a sea of innuendos However. I have them for anyone who wants them Relating Will Erwins wellreceived. non-political address

October 5 was a product of alert and circumspective reporting. It was excellent. The week later remark, alas, was veiled with stigma Let’s set the record straight The broad hint was yours, not fact but fancy. Believe it or not. this comes from a friend of yours. Virginia S Putt I was amazed Dear Editor When I saw your advertisement pertaining to the pull-out section for the Wawasee winter sports season, I was amazed I can not understand how you can feature a 12 page supplement of only sports at Wawasee high school and feel you have done justice to many of the students at Wawasee 1. myself, do not participate in any athletic events at WHS. but I feel I am an active member of the student body Being a member of the National Honor Society, Pnde committee, and Drama club at Wawasee. I feel grossly under-represented by your newspaper when you feature 12 pages on athletics and virtually nothing about any clubs or other organizations I do not object to your supporting athletics at Wawasee. but I do feel other organizations should be equally represented

In your ad you mentioned the sense of appreciation the athletes would receive for all their efforts and sacrifices. I feel I have put in “efforts and sacrifices” for Wawasee but I have no "sense of appreciation” stemming from your newspaper. Why not have a 12 page pull-out section on the clubs and organizations at Wawasee or have a 24 page supplement on the effects of Wawasee high school on our communities so I can have something to “keep in my scrapbook”?

Conservation club to offer hunting classes

According to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, many states, as many as 26. have now made it mandatory that all hunters pass a hunter’s safety program and be duly certified to hunt within their state boundaries. Many area hunters, who had previouslyscheduled hunting trips to western states, have been forced to cancel their plans due to their lack of qualifications. Indiana currently does not require such a certificate to hunt, but will undoubtly follow the trend within the next five to 10 years. Therefore, in an attempt to educate and inform, and otherwise keep the hunting in this area safe and enjoyable for all. the Turkey Creek Conservation club will be sponsoring the Hunter Safety Program and will hold classes beginning in November The instructors, made up of club officers and members, will be required to take a minimum of eight hours of training and pass a state examination

Ray Buhrt GENERAL CONTRACTOR Residential & Commercial Building Phone: 457-3431 Road 13, Syracuse

Conservation officer John Harwood has expressed his sincere commitment to this endeavor and will assist, train and test the program instructors. Because final plans are yet to be made, the total program oL classes will run from a minimujn of eight hours to possibly 12 before a student is qualified. An examination, much like the present driver’s test, will be given to all students. Upon passing the course, the hunter is then given a brilliant orange “patch" indicating that he knows the rules, regulations, hazards and make-up of firearms and hunting in general. Watch for further notice of dates and times these classes will be offered. This course and certification is applicable to bow hunters also.
