THE MAIL-JOURNAL — Wed., November 1.1978

In today's busy world everyone has a full schedule and it is hard to work extra events into those schedules — that is unless it's something that brings us entertainment, then anything is possible. In this editorial we are asking the citizens of Milford and Van Buren Township to make a special effort to attend next Wednesday night's emergency medical services meeting. It is time for the citizens of the community to be informed. It is time to re affirm support for these volunteers who have helped save lives in the Milford area over the past several years. The updating of the EMS unit will entail extensive and further education in advanced life support but this education and the additional equipment the EMS unit wants to purchase will enable them to better treat and stabilize patients at the scene and enroute to the hospital. This means additional lives can be saved as patients receive faster treatment — treatment which at the present time

the EMTs are not qualified to give and even if they were they do not have the needed equipment. The EMTs are taking care of the qualifications with seven members attending classes to enable them to operate the equipment. However, no community can expect volunteers to purchase SIB,OOO worth of equipment for themselves. They need our help. They need our support. The special meeting next Wednesday is to acquaint area residents with their goals and their needs. The desired and needed equipment will be shown and demonstrated. We think every household, club, organization and business in the community should have at least one representative at the meeting. The EMTs are taking the time out of their busy schedules to attend school in addition to continuing their service to the community. Can't we find a few hours to listen to what they have to say? After all, we say it won't happen to us but ... the life they save next may be ours or yours or that of a loved one.

meeting and opposed the action. Heckaman was concerned about the seawalls and underwater piers on the lakes. Heckaman finally agreed to the lowering so long as the board regulated the dam after the first ice. Cloud’s letter reads as follows; “The legal water levels of Lakes Syracuse and Wawasee were established at elevations of 858.87 and 858.89 feet, sea level datum, respectively in the Kosciusko Circuit Court on September 20, 1948.” “It is the responsibility of this department to see that these lakes are maintained at their legally established water levels. Therefore, any change in the levels of these lakes such as the proposed winter lowering must be first petitioned for by this department and then ordered by the Kosciusko Circuit Court.” “We would be pleased to discuss with you and all other interests at an appropriate date whether there exists sufficient justification for the department to petition the court for a legal winter level.” It is not known what actions the board is planning to take. Coffee break to benefit EMS The Lucky Seven CB Club, Syracuse, will hold a coffee break Sunday, Nov. 12, from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. in the Syracuse American Legion. The event is being held to benefit the Syracuse EMS.

Financial aid workshop on November 2 at Wawasee

As the cast of education after high school — and just about everything else — goes up each year, many parents are wondering how they can pay the bills. According to Maxine Robinson, counselor at Wawasee High School, their is away to pay for a college, vocational or technical education! And she will tell you about it at a free financial aid workshop for parents of all Wawasee High School students on Thursday, Nov. 2, at 7 p.m., in the cafeteria annex. Walter Smucker, financial aids director at Goshen College, will be on hand to answer any questions and explain the process Wrecker cause of accidents A wrecker driven by Marvin L. Whitacre, 34, r 1 Leesburg, was reportedly towing a station wagon from the east side of Lake Wawasee to the intersection of Armstrong and Barbee Roads. Kosciusko County Reserve Officer Richard Waterson stated he saw the red wrecker truck towing the station wagon by the fish hatchery on the east side of Lake Wawasee. The officer reported that the truck was traveling at a high rate of speed and the towed station wagon was swerving in and out of the other lane of traffic. Reserve Officer Waterson said he watched a westbound small blue car forced over an embankment by the station wagon. The blue car did not stop according to Waterson. Syracuse Women Injured As the wrecker continued west on Old Road 13-A. it is reported to have struck a car driven by Gail Glaze, r 3 Syracuse Mrs. Glaze received a bump on the head and did not require treatment, according to police. Her auto received S9OO damage and the towed station wagon received S3OO damage. Police reported that a witness to the accident tried following the wrecker for a short time and attempted, unsuccessfully, to stop the truck. The wrecker ran off the road sometime later and struck a fence post and some brushes, and was driven from the ditch on its own. County Patrolman Thomas Brindle said a witness reported the hit and run accident to North Webster Marshal Charles Parker and then the witness and town marshal spotted the wrecker on SR 13. Parker persued the wrecker for three-fourths of a mile before it was stopped on CR 675E, 200 feet north of CR 600 N. Patrolman Brindle reported that as he pulled up to the scene he noticed a suspect (later identified as Curtis R. Eby. 23. r 1 Syracuse) jump out of the wrecker and running west across a field. Brindle drove the patrol car down a dirt road located along the field. When Eby attempted to cross a fence, Brindle drove the car into the field and placed Eby under arrest. Whitacre was booked for public intoxication and driving under the influence of intoxicating beverages. He was released on SSO bond. Eby, a passenger in the wrecker, was held in lieu of $5,000 bond on charges of fleeing a police officer and public intoxication. The two men were arrested by North Webster Town Marshal Charles Parker and County Patrolman Thomas Brindle. ARRESTED FOR FLEEING Curtis Ryan Eby. 23. r 1, was. held in lieu of SSOO bond on a charge of fleeing a police officer. A Syracuse man was arrested by Kosciusko County police last Thursday.

Further information on the financial aid workshop may be obtained by calling the guidence department at Wawasee High School.
