What should we do? By MARY LEE WILLMAN There should be more interesting things to occupy a person’s mind this time of year than thinking up new ways to keep the pipes from freezing; counting and recounting your spare change while trying to decide whether to spend it on a few days in Florida or buy a snow blower; or messing around two hours a day attempting to locate lost mittens or boots which the kids won’t wear anyhow. Maybe it’s a good time to start spring cleaning. Painting some rooms in the house should drive the family into a nearby motel for a few days to escape the paint smell. Just make sure the motel has an indoor pool, color TV and room service. Try shampooing all the carpets and refuse to let anyone in the house till they dry. Perhaps some kindly neighbor will invite the kids to stay over and you can have at least one evening of peace and quiet. Just remember the carpets will dryovernight unless you decide they are really in bad shape shampoo them every day for a week. But, that might be pushing your luck. I somehow doubt that even the most kindly of neighbors would be that understanding. Why not just call a few people and ask them how they cope with the mid-winter blahs! Goldie Hunnicutt — “I’m making a quilt. I have an afghan started and just finished a comforter. I like to crochet. Also, some snow to be necessary.’’ Allen Hart — “Ice fishing! ” Mrs. Ida Hart — “I love to hook rugs, sew and go for walks. I go bowling once a week.” Opal Esch — “Everyone should get out for some fresh air every day that they can. There is an injured rabbit in the woods a short distance from the house. I take it something to eat every day. Hope it heals and is ok.’ Jean McNabb — “Who has a chance to slow down long enough to get the blahs? I always seem to have something behind me making me move a little faster to catch up. I did clean up my pot ted plants the other day ” Guess maybe this reporter needs a hobby. Since the cat seems to have given it up — maybe I’ll take up mouse catching. V -NWUNLIMITED /X'IES/ P.O. BOX 751 • SYRACUSE, INDIANA 46567 219/457-5327 219/457-4677 Days After 5:00 P. M.

Many new programs added at Lakeland Youth Center
By ROBERT W. KNUDSEN The Lakeland Youth Center has had an exciting year under the leadership of its new director, Robert B. Harkness. Many new programs have been added to the list of activities and old programs have been expanded to make better use of the facilities. Participation in center activities has grown 342 per cent this past year where right now 30 hours a week are devoted to youth programs and eight hours to adult programs. Every attempt this coming year will be made to offer new activities for the senior citizens from lunch time to 3 p.m. when school is dismissed. Thus making better use of the facility and recognizing their social participation in the Lakeland area Without the financial support of the United Way of Kosciusko County, which is all of us. the center could not continue to expand and operate in the northern section of the county — the Lakeland School District. All three communities. North Webster. Milford and Syracuse, are represented with the 12 couples making up the Lakeland Youth Center Board. Along with increased participation comes increased ex r

penses. The total operating expenses for the center in 1978 were $21,800. This figure included the director’s salary, mortgage, insurance. utilities, building maintenance, van operation and office expenses. In addition to this are the wages paid to various instructors other than the director. In 1978 this figure amounted to over $4,500, most of which is raised through the small fees charged to the participants in each activity. Approximately 60 per cent of the center's budget is supplied by the United Way. About five per cent is received in private donations from organizations and individuals. The remaining funds come from the fund raising activities of the board and a small profit that is shown from some of the center’s activities. Fund raising projects in the past year included several chicken barbeques and a very successful college girls’ basketball game which was sponsored, in conjunction with the Wawasee Booster Club The center’s board also has the experience and tremendous help of their alumni who have been most cooperative these past feu months since a special banquet was given in their honor. Youth
activities in. the past decade, particularly with the high school students, have changed so rapidly Students may and they do, commit themselves in after school activites under qualified guidance every school day to their expanded school organizations in academics, government, music, drama and sports It has been found they no lodger desire the center for their music session as the conduct and habits of a few spoiled it for the majority The center is open to them, but they prefer not to attend Now the center works with the younger generation in hopes of improving their participation and sportsmanship in activities where winning is not everything. Our gymnastics. track, wrestling, football, baseball 'and basketball work towards fundamentals and fun The puppetry! drama, pre-school development, beginning dancing, junior high fitness and spring day camps work towards personal achievements that can be developed further by the professionals in the area at a later date in their lives. The center has been able to make the facilities available to various groups in the community for meetings and activities at times when the center would otherwise be idle and we feel it has helped other Organizations perform their functions in the area. From these meetings we have learned of the needs for many adult programs such as ladies”’ fitness. volleyball, women s golf, macrame. cooking with microwaves, square dancing, hunter safety and snowmobile safety classes to name a few. Yes. your Lakeland Youth Center has changed quite a bit this past year and they hope people have enjoyed these changes as much as they have enjoyed bringing them to you People are to feel freq,to stop by and participate with neighbors and let the center know of any suggestions you might want to’ make for your center. One composer gave a new meaning to the term‘“stage prop.” George Antheil in 1922 composed a symphonic “Ballet Mechanique,” which called for a whirring airplane propeller, among other mechanical devices.
