Introducing: Bill Costas Independent Candidate ' I For U.S. Congress 1 Can * r I 1 About BILL COSTAS ft XJ ,-jj The Bible, in II Corinthians 5:17 says, “When a person becomes a Christian, he is a brand new person, 1 jhW /jj* old things have passed away." Eight M years ago I became a born-again be- ,W1 O liever. I'm now 49 years old, married 1? to my second wife, Diane, for five 1 years, and we have six children. I own a large independent supermarket in ■ fi. ■ / g - ijl Valparaiso, employing 175 people, from L a modest beginning just six years ago. -*■ I have earned the respect of this community as I have tried my best to “live" the Christian life in my business and personal activities. You can trust me to serve you as well, representing you in Washington D.C. as your next Congressman, because I try to put Jesus Christ in my life. Christian principles have worked well for me in my personal and business life, and are needed in politics so we can again be one nation under God. Why Am I Running? I'm upset with the present state of affairs in Washington. I am not a politician but I am a common-sense, capable businessman who through hard work, faith in a Living God, and a desire to serve people, has become successful and a good example to others. I now feel tKat "my calling" is to serve in government as a respresentative of the H million people of this 2nd Congressional District. Public office is not an easy thing — it would be simpler for me to open another supermarket. But the greatest joy a person can have is serving others, setting a good example of honesty and righteousness for our citizens, and with the Lord's help, this is my goal. My family and I are willing to give of ourselves to instill a new hope to the 60% of the people who don't even bother to vote because they have become disillusioned with our government. Our great country was founded on Christian principles and those same principles can now save it from ruin. "When there is moral rot within a nation, its' government topples easily, but with honest, sensible leaders there is stability."

'Q3JZIN AROUND CUSIz

WITH THE annual United Way drive now underway, Turkey Creek residents might overcome some of their reluctance to give to this worthy cause if they realize that the township receives more than it gives in way of money. The township is slated to receive SIB,OOO. of which $14,000 goes to the Lakeland Youth Center and $4,000 to the Lakeland Day Care Center. The township’s

goal is only $14,700, industries included. The Youth Center serves youngsters from the entire Lakeland community, with 265 boys and girls in the Syracuse summer baseball program alone. A spring track program, wrestling, gymnastics, dancing classes and adult golf instruction boosted enrollment at the center 342% over a year ago. And the Day Care Center.

serving the same area, provides a program that meets the fundamental growth and development of preschool children who are out of the home for a large part of the' day because of financial, social, emotional or health problems of the parents. Think about it — United Way is People Helping People. —o— LEE CARBONEAU (Syracuse Hardware) has purchased the Main Street building located just two doors east of his uptown hardware (formerly occupied by Palace of Sweets) from Eugene Wright and is having it remodeled for an additional hardware outlet. His own location will continue. Lee has expanded the business and its lines of merchandise and repair services to the point where he needs additional space. A new brick front and attractive overhang give the new building an attractive appearance. —o— SYRACUSEANS JAN Miller, Laura Kroh. Gordon (Short) McCormick, Bernice Klink, Ken and Mary Jane Bowton, and Bob and June Laudeman were among the 59,000 plus fans who witnessed the football upset Saturday at Notre Dame. The Tigers sizzled and the Irish fizzled! The final score was 3-0 for the Tigers. This was a tough one for the Irish to lose, their opener at home. It also marked the first shut-out for the Irish at home since a 21-0 loss to .Michigan State in October 1960. The temperature reached into the mid-90’s, June Laudeman reported, commenting that the viewers at home were probably “more comfortable.” PAULA GANGER of North Webster, who teaches fourth grade at Syracuse Elementary School, says “It is getting quite embarrassing when your kids tell you they saw your name in the paper again.” Miss Ganger says she is being confused with a woman of a similar name, Paula Granger of Syracuse, whose name has appeared in court procedures recently. Notes the school teacher, “I am Paula Ganger, without the ‘r’.” We are glad to set the record straight.

PEOPLE CONTINUE to talk about the "Blizzard of 1978," and you can be sure it’ll be remembered for a long time. But no one seems to know just how much snow fell and how much the wind blew. We’ll long remember Thursday. Jan. 26. 1978 when a reported 24 inches of snow fell with hundred mile per hour winds. Purdue University personnel plotted snowfall for a period from 1887 to 1978 on a graph shown above, with each line representing snowfall for a particular year. The scale is in inches. Interesting, huh? —o— ACCORDING TO Wales Macy, “Contrary to published statements from our Warsaw representative, the low water level in our lakes can cause upward of a million dollars damage to sea walls and shore line if we do not have heavy rains before winter.’ —O—THE OLD syndrome of "one person tells another” seems to be what brought John and Patricia Mansfield to the Syracuse community.

Excuse them if they are tardy (An Editorial) “You’ll have to excuse them if they are tardy.” This would be our advice to Lakeland school authorities if they encounter a rash of students who report late for classes. The reason, obvious to most Milford parents and students, is that a train, or trains, block all crossings in the Milford community for an interminable length of time. One such occasion was Friday morning, when a northbound train blocked all crossings in Milford for something over a half hour. Result: Students driving their own cars, parents with students aboard and even school buses were held up, either from going to the high school at or from reporting to the junior high and elementary school at Milford. It would have been humorous if it were not so dangerous to see students crawling under freight cars and climbing through the cars in order to meet their first morning school bell. Milford town fathers “got on” railroad officials before when this sort of thing happened and it was corrected forthwith. It seems the whole trouble lies in that the northbound Big Four trains give priority to Chessie trains going east and west on the former B & O Undoing through Milford Junction. Whilb the situation is corrected one daj>, it reoccurs another day with another Casey at the throttle. The whole problem of trains blocking crossings at Milford for such long periods of time is frustrating to say the least. We would appeal to the Milford town fathers to make another effort to see that this practice is discontinued. And in the meantime we must ask school authorities “to excuse them (the students) if they are tardy.”

Investigating, she saw "the cutest little eyes” coming from the head of a harried mouse. Officer Danny Gailmeier rushed to the rescue with gun drawn, while chief Ron Robinson stood in the background with his hand over his mouth, concealing a smile. No one would admit a thing, and no one seems to know what happened to the mouse, either.
