Immel — (Continued from page 1) his career are watching his students grow up and having former students come back to visit him. “I guess you can say one of the (most rewarding) things is having kids in school now whom I’ve had their parents in school. I’m into the second generation now,” he stated. However, Immel is looking forward to “not having to get up on cold winter mornings when it’s dark and snowy.” Immel leaves behind several personal contributions to the Lakeland School Corporation including the establishment of libraries in all the elementary schools, string orchestras in the junior highs and his involvement in planning Wawasee High School. Mrs. Immel to retire, too The Lakeland School Corporation is also losing Gwen Immel who has served as reading tutor at Milford Junior High School for 10 years. She began tutoring when the federal Right To Read program was initiated at the school. Mrs. Immel tutors students who are below their grade level in reading and works mostly with -fifth and sixth graders. She works with one to two students at a time in 15 minute blocks. "I enjoy it. I have nice kids.. I know I’ll miss it. I’ve really appreciated the involvement I've had here. It’s just time to chart a new course,” she stated. Mrs. Immel attended North Central College in Naperville, 111. and Ball State University in Muncie. She worked for Northern Indiana Public Service Company for 11 years before she quit to raise her family. The Immels have one daughter, Mary Barbara Martin, who lives in Virginia BeacK Md. Their daughter followed in her father's footsteps and became an elementary school teacher after graduating from Purdue University in 1970. She is married to a Navy lieutenant who flys phantom jets and is now raising their three-year-old son, Jason. Mr. and Mrs. Immel plan to spend their summer at home and have lots of company. They would like to take a trip to New England this fall, depending on the gas situation. 30* rate — (Continued from page 1) paint fence; carpet library and office areas in 1968 building and four classes in the 1972 addition; replace speaker system with more vandal-proof speakers;

Milford — Pending on decision of the junior high building. Hadley stated the bulk of the projects would not need to be done until two or three years down the line. Retirement Resignations Don Arnold, school superintendent, read the retirement of Lewis Immel, Milford Elementary principal, which will be effective at the end of the present year. Immel stated that 1980 has been his goal and would be terminating his services. His wife, a reading tutor in the Milford schools, will also be retiring. Immel has been active in education for approximately 40 years and was the first superintendent of the Lakeland Community Schools. Also retiring is Roberta Powers, English teacher at Wawasee High School. During the past year she has been on leave of absence and she stated she does not care to return as a full time teacher, but would like to be considered as a substitute teacher. Arnold read two resignations to coaching position. George Vitaniemi, asked to be relieved of his coaching position on the freshman football team and Hal Traviolia requested to be relieved from his position as head football coach and varsity football coach. In Travi'olia’s letter of resignation he stated: “After much consideration and thought I have found that I no longer have the and will to be a head football coach. I therefore would like to resign my position as head football coach at Wawasee High School. “After having taught in the Lakeland Community School Corporation for seven years, I have found that there are few schools that have the faculty, administration, curriculum and facilities that Wawasee High School has. I therefore would like to retain my teaching position on the staff of Wawasee High School.” Arnold stated he has been questioned what he really wanted to do. “I think it came down to a personal decision and he’s ready to hang it up and get out of the hectic part as head coach.” Arnold stated he had a letter or resignation earlier from Traviolia and his wife from their teching positions, these were withdrawn. Board members questioned the difficulty in finding people to fill these positions when there would be no teaching positions opened. Arnold stated, “I think we will be able to work around it. We are here first of all in education." Traviolia had accepted a position at Southern Dearborn County as a coach and teacher. Other Business The board accepted two General Education Diplomas for Loraine Slagle, r 1 Syracuse and Dana Neibert, r 1 Leesburg. Also the board signed the necessary papers for the state food service agreement to extend their current contract from June to September and the renewal of the adult education program for the GED and bi-lingual classes. Hadley was given permission to purchase a 14 hp Bolens lawn mower and a 16 hp Yazoo lawn

mower from H & H Repair Shop, Milford. The Bolens mower will cost $1,735.94 and the Yazoo will cost $2,660.50. Both prices include trade-in on the two mowers owned by the corporation. MAD plans for hot air balloon The Milford Area Development Council met Tuesday at Doll’s Decorating Center in Milford and confirmed plans to bring a hot air balloon to Milford on Memorial Day. Hot air rides will be offered to persons attending the annual MAD Day event for a small fee. The committee is on the lookout for additional floats to be entered in the American Legionsponsored parade with at least two or three floats set to be entered thus far. The traditional chicken barbecue will be held on MAD Day with rides being furnished by Ralph Owens and games for the youngsters as in past years. A Little League tournament will also be held. Clean-Up Day Doug Brown will spearhead the clean-up day set for May 24 with Scouts and other groups joining together to pick up trash along the streets in Milford and on near-by country roads. Board favors study It was an unanimous vote by board members on the Waubee Lake Association to have an Environmental Protection Agency program study done on Waubee Lake. - The board met Thursday evening, April 24, in the home of Jack Maher. A major concern of board members was where the money would come from to have the EPA study done. The cash needed by the association is approximately $1,500. It was found there would be enough money in the treasury to cover the cost and all present agreed the study would be the only way to really know what or who was causing the pollution in the lake. Jed Pearson of the Department of Natural Resources gave a report on the pike population of Waubee Lake. He stated for this area. Waubee was one of the better populated pike lakes and that the DNR was going to stock another 900-1,000 pike fingerlings in the lake this fall. In 1982, Pearson said they would check fisherman’s creols for the pike stocked in the lake to see how many survived and how large they became. In new business discussed the markers for the barge and island will be repainted and placed in the lake. The weed cutter will be ready for use by June 1. Steve Kaiser and Phil Price were named to a committee to nominate officers and directors to be elected in the annual meeting. The next board meeting will be June 5, at 7:30 p.m. in the home of John Rouch. Tax funds received Checks totalling $109,891,461.68 in property tax replacement fund monies have been distributed to the 92 Indiana counties. Governor Otis R. Bowen, M. D., announced. This is the third and final payment from the fund this spring, bringing to $150,680,421.02 the amount distributed by the Department of Revenue to the counties for property tax replacement. Kosciusko County received $997,096.20. The $150.7-million figure for the state represents the spring portion of 20 per cent property tax replacement based upon tax rate figures provided by the state board of tax commissioners. This reduction will be apparent to local property taxpayers on their 1980 property tax bills.

TRAVEL TALK

“What’s new this week, Lem?” was Alfie’s first question when he stopped in the travel agency to learn more about the fare war that has been raging for the past month or more. “The ads in daily papers announce something new every day it seems, either an increase of all fares or special fares for certain areas,” Alfie added, “and it gets confusing.” “That’s just about right,” Lem replied, “it is confusing we know. But most of the special fares are a real saving and we use" them whenever possible. One in particular is the Chicago San Francisco one-way fare of $99 which makes the round trip $l9B This is available on United. American and TWA. It must be booked seven days in advance of travel and as of now will continue thru the year. Also, it must be round trip using the same airline both ways.” explained Lem. "Just last week after TW'A announced their $99 one-way fare to Los Angeles. United and American followed suit very quickly,” Lem continued. “Advance booking is not necessary on the Los Angeles flight although-it also requires round trip purchase on the same airline.” Good In May Only “Another promotional fare by United from either Fort Wayne or South Bend uses Denver as the connecting point for a number of west coast cities. These flights are non-stop into Denver, connecting with flights west and eliminating Chicago O’Hare from the itinerary. The one-way fare is $162. round trip $324, but this special rate will end May 31. It was effective April 27 for the five weeks through May only,” Lem explained. “And already we find reservatins for these flights are filling up fast. ”

Specials For Hawaii “Thanks a lot for explaining more about these fares." replied Alfie. And then his eye caught a flyer announcing a round trip airfare to Hawaii for $389.95 per person. “What’s this, fly to Hawaii and back from Chicago for just $389.95?” exclaimed Alfie. “I can’t believe it!” “That’s another May only special,” Lem explained. “A tour company which operates with charter air transportation is offering this special for four weeks in May and two in June. It does not include any land costs but it is a good rate for air." “Here’s another goodie for Hawaii," Lem continued, "and it’s different. New this season there’s a cruise ship that sails through the islands stopping in port at four of the islands. The ship is your hotel and you have all the fun of cruising plus going ashore and seeing the islands as you wish. Once aboard and checked into your cabin, there’s no more packing or unpacking until you leave ship for flight home.” "How's that for an ideal week, an anniversary present or a honeymoon ’’’’ “Wow,” was all Alfie could utter at the moment. And he went home to see if that dream could become reality. Boat missing Dr. Spavin, 130 North Shore Dr , Syracuse, reported the loss of a 14-foot aluminum Sea Nymph fishing boat. The boat was stolen Saturday night, April 26, and the theft was reported Sunday, April 27, to Kosciusko County Police Radio Dispatcher Forrest Bouse.
