Team shows improvement

By LESLIE WHITMAN Even though Wawasee’s boys tennis team is two and 12 for the season, coach Gary Baker feels the team has had a good year. “They have made constant improvement throughout the season.” Probably the main area which kept the boys back was lack of experience. Baker commented, “It’s been an up and down year. Our biggest problem was we had only one returning letterman.” Next year Baker hopes to do better with six returning varsity players. Since his players weren’t as experienced as he hoped, the coach has been stressing fundamentals and skills at practice time. “I’m trying to get players Lakeland school activities WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 27 4 p.m. - Milford Junior High volleyball at Wakarusa 4:15 p.m. — North Webster Junior High volleyball at Pierceton 4:15 p.m. ~ Wawasee cross country vs Fairfield at Wawasee 6:30 p.m. — Wawasee volleyball at Columbia City THURSDAY, SEPT. 28 4 p.m. — Wawasee girls’ golf at East Noble 6:30 p.m. - Milford Junior High football vs Wakarusa at Wawasee 6:30 p.m. — Wawasee volleyball at Plymouth 6:30 p.m. - Freshman football at Warsaw 6:30 p.m. — Wawasee tennis vs Whitko at Wawasee 6:30 p.m. — Wawasee girls’ swim vs Rochester at Wawasee FRIDAY, SEPT. 29 7:30 p.m. - Wawasee Varsity football at Mississinewa SATURDAY, SEPT. 30 All day - Wawasee girls’ swim relays at Goshen 8 a.m. — Shelby County Soils Contest 9 a.m. — Tennis Sectional at Goshen 9:30 a.m. - Cross Country at Manchester

more enthusiastic about what they’re doing. I would like to have more younger players next year.” The coach hopes this way he can train them earlier to be better competitors. Another area holding Wawasee back, said Baker, was lack of practice other times of the year. “You can improve a lot during summer. I would like to have my players get out and practice. ” Baker said he has high hopes for his team next year. He commented, “Hopefully next year, we won’t have to work so much on skills.

Political potpourri

PHIL OPPENHEIM, Republican candidate for congress, called on the Carter Administration to produce hard evidence that excessive regulation of farmers’ benefits anyone or “Carter should return the farm market to the farmer. ’ ’ Oppenheim pointed out that Congressional testimony has focused on the government's attempt to ban nitrite preservatives in bacon and sausage without firm evidence that significant health problems result from eating bacon and sausage. —o— THEY ARE having an old fashioned political rally on Sunday, Oct. 1, from noon until 3 p. m. at the Elkhart County fairgrounds to honor Philip M. Crane, the only announced 1980 Presidential candidate. Crane is a Representative from the 12th district of Illinois. Also present at the rally will be Lt. Governor Robert D. Orr and members of the Republican party who are running for office on the November ballot — Ed Simcox, candidate for secretary of state; Julian Riolen, candidate for state treasurer; Charles D. Loos, candidate for state auditor; and Marjorie H. O'Laughlin, candidate for clerk of court. —O'AN OPEN house will be held for Jim Logan, the American Party candidate for U. S. Representative from the second district. Mr. Logan and other party candidates will greet the public from 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 30. at the Counting House Bank in Warsaw. Logan will answer questions and explain the American party's stand on key issues including Proposition 23 which will eliminate the federal income tax. The public is cordially invited to meet the candidates and enjoy refreshments. —o— WITH THE election coming closer Congressman Floyd Fithian is stepping up the visits of his Office on Wheels. It will be making a number of visits to the county next week. “A congressman must stay in touch with the people he represents,” Fithian said, “and the mobile office is one of the best means of doing that. This service gives all citizens equal access to their congressional office, regardless of where they live.” Fithian noted the second district covers more than 5.000 square miles, including 113 cities and tow ns in 14 counties. —o—“DEMOCRATS ARE playing a cynical game of election-year politics in a desparate effort to overcome the personal popularity of Governor Otis R. Bowen and the proven effectiveness of his property tax relief program,” Republican secretary of State candidate Ed Simcox said during a television taping in Indianapolis. “To the voters, the Democrats acknowledge, and even embrace. Proposition 13. They contend they have been the guardians of taxpayer interest and the party which has protected property owners against inappropriate changes in property tax relief program,” Simcox said. “But what the Democrats say is simply not true," Simcox added. “Only two Democrats voted for property tax relief in 1973. and not one Democrat now in the General Assembly has ever supported any legislation related to tax relief. Any observer of the Democrats knows they have forced massive increases in spending and have not reduced state spending." Simcox’s remarks were made taping for a program to be aired in October. r MICHIANA i INSURED i BONDED PREPAINTED ALUMINUM CONTINUOUS GUTTERING SERVICE 2390 Elkhart Road, Building C I Goodnews!
