REPORTER LESLIE Whitman's page 1 story last week concerning the enviable show record of the three-year-old Appaloosa stallion Tim s Mighty Brass has brought forth all sorts of interesting horse stories. We had no idea there was so much interest in raising and showing horses in this area. One good story came from 20-year-old Lee Ann Andrews, r 3 Syracuse, who has also won a record of showing her four-year-old, La Condesa. Lee Ann is a 1976 Wawasee High School graduate and part time employee in the offices of The Commodore Corporation north of Syracuse. Her horse was adjudged Reserve National Champion in the English pleasure class at the National Championship Show at Tulsa, Okla., held July 27, 28 and 29. Later, on August 28, the same mare won the Canadian National Championship in the English pleasure class at Whitby, Ontario, Canada, just outside Toronto Lee Ann modestly confesses to having "raised horses for pleasure and show all my life,’’ admitting that "all my life” amounts to about 15 years. She has three horses and a pony of which she is mighty proud. Then why is she hiding all this under a bushel? We asked. It took the Whitman story on Tim's

Mighty BraSs to catch the attention of Marilyn Deck, Lee Ann’s co-worker at The Commodore Corporation, who told this column about it. Lee Ann has her handsome trophies, and we hope to photograph them at her pleasure for reproduction in this column in a week or two. —o— HEARD: A pat on the back makes a kick in the pants go twice as far. —o— EVERYONE HAS a speck of nostalgic fervor in their veins, so we hear. And this must be the reason so many people are dropping into The Mail-Journal office at Syracuse to rummage through our boxes of old photos. Anyone is welcome, but don’t make it on Monday, one of our real busy days. Most of the pictures have run in The M-J, others are "take-outs” that failed to see the printed page. If you’re looking for an old photo of interest, drop around. No charge. —o— KENT HARE and Dick Waterson are fans of sheriff John Hammersley, and they want to do something for the sheriff in his bid for re-election. They hit on the idea of putting up a big banner, to extend from Galloway’s Grocery to Rick’s

bait shop. They think it’ll be the biggest such banner this area has ever seen. Look for it in a week or two. —O'DON BAUMGARDT has become a M-J critic, and has managed to find several gramatical faux pas. Glad to see Don is reading our efforts so carefully. Others who have found similar errors have been less kind. —o— A FINE young couple who recently moved to our community is Joe and Jean Elaine Hendricks, residents of Harbor Side Condominiums. Coming to the community from Niles, Mich., Joe is comptroller for The Commodore Corporation of Indiana, recent purchasers of the Monarch Corp, north of Syracuse. We’ve got a lot going for us if we can attract people like Joe and Jean Elaine. -O'JOHN AND Marie Fisher of Warsaw, becoming known in the Lakeland area through their son Bill (Fisher’s Rent-All), left last Thursday for Florida where they hope to purchase a condo in the Siebringarea. —o— I’M TICKLED pink about it all," so says Carol Elder. Os course she’s referring to the response to her new image of “Think Pink”. She had her Cadillac repainted pink and she and fellow employees plan to wear “something pink," to further delineate the pink image. —o— POSTAL EMPLOYEE Maurice Koher dropped by one day last week to renew The M-J subscription for his mother Faye who is a resident of the Strawberry Village Nursing Home in Ligonier. He commented how much she enjoys news from home and about her

friends in the Syracuse community. The paper makes the rounds of the 60-odd residents of the senior citizen community — but only after Faye is done with it. —o— A MODERN Parable — Behold, a ball team went forth to play a game of basebail. Just as the umpire was saying batter up, the catcher for the home team arrived and took his place. The center fielder didn’t show up at all but later sent his regrets. The third baseman likewise failed to come to the game, having been up late the night before. The shortstop was present but left his glove at home. Two of the substitute fielders were away on a little week end trip, but were there in spirit. Verily, when the pitcher went into the box he looked around for his teammates, and 10, his heart was heavy, for their places were empty. But the game was announced and the visitors were in the stands and there was nothing to do but to pitch the ball and hope for the best. But he had to serve as pitcher, first baseman, third baseman and cover short and center field. When the absent members of the defeated team heard that their team had lost, a decision was made to get a new pitcher! - Ray Montgomery, Rolling Prairie Church News. —o— > HERE'S A factory sign we liked: People who believe the dead never come back to life should be here at quitting time. —o—- — YOU seen Bill Coburn lately? He’s slim and trim and boasts the results of a new diet he picked up from Cliff Pool who heard of it in Florida. -oRALPH THORNBURG, wife Marge, John Kroh, wife Gail and Larry Mellott got a little extra out of their trip to New York last week when they were on an annual buying excursion.

On Tuesday night, as they were about to leave the WaldorfAstoria Hotel through a lower level entrance, they were shunted aside for what reason they were not sure. “We knew it had to be to make room for someone important,” John reasoned. It turned out former President Nixon and his entourage were leaving the hotel. They stood agape as Nixon passed them by and wondered later why they didn’t wave at him. Perhaps he would have had a word with them. Then, at a drug meeting. Saint Louis Cardinal great Lou Brock, who is associated with a drugaffiliate, spoke to a meeting the local group attended. John admits to being a Cardinal fan. Looks like he won both ways, seeing two of his heroes in the Big Apple. —o— THERE’S AN odd-looking site around Wawasee Airport in the form of a dog wearing a large airplane inner tube as a collar. The dog, Stanleigh. a nine-year-old German Shepherd, belongs to Don and Charlotte Hayden. As explained by Charlotte. Stanleigh has a skin disorder on his right hip — “a sort of burn” — and he kept licking salve off the wound. Don hit on the idea of the inner tube collar, and it has worked. It has given rise to all sorts of comments, even one that Stanleigh might be going swimming. —o— MRS. DAVID (Florence) Carr, Pickwick Road, finally decided to trust her son. Jack, enough to let him take her up in his airplane. It’s a known fact that Jack has owned the plane for 25 years but mother has held her ground and kept both feet on the earth for a quarter of century. The ride took place a week ago last Tuesday in Chattanooga, Ohio, where Jack resides. When asked how she liked the flight, Mrs. Carr replied, “1 didn’t look out much, but it wasn’t bad.” —o— WHILE WATCHING TV on Thursday evening, Mrs. Chuck (Pat) Richardson of CR 52 Syracuse, happened to look out a window and saw a bright light. This light was in the southwest toward Milford moving very slowly. This was around 7: 30 p.m_ Mrs. Richardson aroused her three children, Jan, Pam and Douglas, so they could see this strange occurrence. She reported the light changed from whitishblue to a yellow-orange and sometimes red. Word has it the Ted Method family and Wally Berndt family also witnessed this light. One other person, who was driving down the highway near Milford, reported the bright light. A Nappanee lady, Miss Ann Lakins, reported to the authorities that about 9:50 p.m. that same day, as she was coming out of a bowling alley, she saw a bright “something”, much larger than a star. This siting was above treetop level and moving toward the Goshen area and was suddenly gone. Meanwhile on the other side of Goshen, some young people observed a bright object that moved up and down, got real bright and then disappeared. These happenings were

reported to the state police barracks at Ligonier and to the local police. Calling the MJ office was Charles Tucker of Nappanee, the International Director of the International UFO Investigative bureau. He said that other sightings were near New Paris, Indianapolis and Lake Michigan, the week before. —o— IF YOU SEE a fellow walking slowly around Syracuse, being led by an attractive lady, it’s probably Doug Pilcher, Syracuse shoe retail merchant for 31 years. Doug had open heart surgery at the Cleveland Clinic September 5 and returned to his home on Pearl Street on the 13th. He had an artificial heart valve put into his heart and a double by-pass. Doug has had a heart condition for some time Goldie, his attentive wife, says he can’t lift over five pounds, nor push or pull, but otherwise is "really coming along great . . . doing just fine." Doug has a lot of friends pulling for him. he'll be happy to know. — o O. A. LAMBERT, member of the Wawasee Kiwanis Club and local realtor, was selected to represent his club at the Bremen Kiwanis Club’s Liar Contest Tuesday night. The Liar's Contest was conceived this year and hosted members from Kiwanis Clubs in the Land-0-Lakes division. Each contestant had exactly three minutes to relate the biggest and best lie he can procure. They were judged not only on content but also presentation. When contacted on why he was selected from his club, all that O. A. could mutter was, “I can’t understand why I was picked, I never lie!” Footnote: O. A. said this morning that he didn’t win. although "I told a whopper!” There were 12 “big lies" told in all, he said, and a Kiwanis club member from Nappanee, named Newcomer, was the winner. $ 20,000 damage in fire A fire at the home of Jim Johnson on Waco Dr., Lake Wawasee, resulted in an estimated $20,000 damage Saturday night. Three fire trucks answered the call at 7:54 p.m., and firemen, said when they arrived at the scene the utility room of the home was completely engulfed in flames. A neighboring house was so close to the flames that firemen called North Webster volunteers to stand by. The origin of the fire was not announced by firemen, who said they used 1800 gallons of water at the scene before extinguishing the fire.

Emergency unit plans purchase of new equipment

At the Milford Emergency Medical Services meeting on Monday, Sept. 11. a demonstration was given by two representatives of RCA of a heart monitor and radio equipment. The cost of such equipment is approximately $16,000. The group hopes to be able to raise funds for this equipment in the near future Seven EMTs will be taking a 100-hour course at Goshen Hospital, which will enable them to use this equipment and better serve the area. A battery operated portable suction unit was donated to the EMS by Chore-Time in memory of Pat Mason. This is a very important piece of equipment and the group noted its appreciation at the Monday meeting since the original suction unit no longer worked efficiently. Additional donations were received from C. S. Myers. Thedia Rhodes, The Chatter Box. The Sorosis Club in memory of Inez Phend, Barth’s and Mr. and Mrs. Howard (Hop) Haab. Again it was noted that all donations are greatly appreciated it helps defray the rising costs of replacing equipment. Two portable radios have been purchased with additional funds received from revenue sharing. Also discussed at the meeting was the possible purchase of insurance to cover the EMTs, drivers and helpers against injury at the scene of an accident. WOMAN STRUCK BY CAR Joan Dittemore, 46, 918 E. Chicago St., Syracuse was struck by a car at 3:15 p.m. Tuesday by a driver who left the scene after the accident. The victim suffered bruises and swelling to her left leg above the knee when the other auto caught her leg between its front bumper and the rear bumper of the Dittemore car. The accident occurred in the parking lot of Hook’s Drug Store in Wawasee Village. Mrs. Dittemore told Syracuse police the driver of the black over gray sedan asked the pedestrian if she had hit her, and when she replied in the affirmative, she then drove away. Police are continuing to investigate.

In addition, the purchase of green light domes for EMTs, similar to the blue lights used by volunteer firemen was discussed. This would enable the EMTs to respond to calls more promptly. Introduced at the meeting were Martha Call and Luther Chalk. They will be taking the EMT training course when one is available. Anyone interested in becoming an EMT should contact John Perry or attend the EMS meetings held on the second Monday of each month in the EMS building on Main Street in Milford. The next meeting will be on October 9 at 7 p.m. It was also noted drivers are needed, especially during the dav.
