Police Chief Robert Houser said the equipment came from its 12 fee for accident reports, a number of donations, and some funds from the town budget. The department darkroom boasts of a printer, enlarger, negative dryer among its valued equipment. Officers Danny Gallmeier and Steve Knispel are both qualified to develop film. They have had the expert assistance from Tom Kitch of the county sheriff’s department in setting up their new darkroom.
“IT’S ABSOLUTELY incredible,” so said Wawasee High School wrestling coach Rick Welborn about his forthcoming trip to the Rose Bowl football classic with daughter Tammi, a WHS freshman. Tammi will take her dad along on the four-day trip to California, compliments of Sports Illustrated. Tammi wrote a letter of 25 words or less why she wanted to go to the Rose Bowl — and won! , Rick said, “1 was absolutely floored when a Sports Illustrated representative came into my classroom to make the ’ presentation to my daughter. Dad and daughter plan to leave from Bear Field. Fort Wayne on , Tuesday. Asked if he had a copy of the letter, Rick responded, “Heck no; who ever thought she’d win such a contest?” Money stolen from street department Howard Kile, superintendent of the Syracuse Street Department, reported that $8 in cash was stolen from the department office. He reported the theft on Monday.
Senator John B. Augsburger previews upcoming state legislative session
As we enter into the holiday season, the wheels are beginning to turn in preparation for the 1981 Legislative Session, which will get underway on January 7. Actually, the legislative session officially began on November 18 when the 150 legislators from across the state met for what is known as organization day. At that time, leaders in both houses were officially sworn in and all newly elected members took their oathes of office. Organization Day, however, is largely ceremonial and is designed to take care of the official housekeeping business necessary so the legislative process can begin* in earnest when lawmakers return to the State House in January. Among the many activities that are already underway is the prefiling of bills that will be considered during the session. Prefiling of, bills began on November 18 and will continue until the session begins and then filing of the bills will continue until a cut off date early in the session is established. The prefiling of legislation was established several years ago in order to give lawmakers the opportunity to introduce bills prior to the session, with the hope that these bills will be considered by the appropriate committees and by the full legislature early in the 1 session. The upcoming session promises to be very interesting, and will for the most part, be largely concerned with fiscal issues. This is the year the State’s biennium budget must be enacted and because of the effects of the federal recession, Indiana faces a large budget gap in the next two years. Consequently, the General Assembly must be prepared to “bite the bullet” and try to slow down the growth in government spending and make cuts, where possible. In addition to the battle over the budget, the state’s recently enacted highway funding program will be reviewed since it is not generating the anticipated revenues.. Already, there is talk of a proposal that would bolster highway revenues by freezing the
lowest state gasoline tax possible, while raising the tax by as much as two cents per gallon. This issue, like the State budget, will undoubtedly receive a lot of attention in the months ahead. Other fiscal issues likely to be faced by the Legislature include revision of the school aid formula and the state’s property tax relief program, to name just two of the more important. Since the upcoming session is what is known as the long session, hundreds of issues, ranging across a wide variety of Hoosier interests will also be reviewed. To cite one example, the legislature this year will begin to take up the question of redistricting the state’s 150 legislative and 11 congressional Letter to the editor

seats. Already, the committees that will deal with this issue have been created and are in the early stages of this important political issue. Another issue to be faced concerns a revision of the state’s lobbying law. This law has been on the books since 1915, without any changes and there is a move afoot, due to recent disclosures of abuses, to tighten up many of its provisions. Consequently, 1 expect this will be one of the bills dealt with early in the session. These are just a few of the issues that will be dealt with by your State Legislature. I invite you to contact me at the Indiana Senate, State House, Indianapolis, Ind. 46204, should you have any views on the many bills filed.

Wildlife management contest for youths
By ROY GRIMES Wildlife Biologist The Indiana of Fish and Wildlife is sponsoring a wildlife management Youth Awards Contest for Indiana high school biology departments, classes or individual students. This contest is sponsored under the Division of Fish and Wildlife’s new Save Our Small Game Program (S.O.S) and is being offered to students in order to promote a better understanding of basic wildlife management principles. Since the key to maintaining wildlife populations in Indiana (or any placp else for that matter) is provide adequate cover and food or habitat, the contest 'is aimed towards emphasizing the role of habitat manipulation in managing wildlife populations. The contest involves selecting a 20-acre tract (or larger), indicating what kind of habitat is present (draw a cover map) and developing* a management plan , for improving thb wildlife habitat. This 20-acre tract could be school property, government land, private ground or even urban acreage. The entrant then must draw a map indicating what habitat conditions presently exist on the tract such as fencerows, brushpiles, ponds, woodlot, marsh or bare ground. Next the student(s) prepares a proposed management plan for the same tract indicating improvements to the habitats Such improvements may include brushpile construction, tree or shrub planting, nesting cover creation, etc. Although it is encouraged, the actual implementation of the developed habitat improvement plan need not be carried out in order to win the contest.

The cover map and the newly developed managment plan are then sent to the Indiana Division of Fish and Wildlife in Indianapolis for judging. The judging team will consist of professional biologists and supervisors. The entries will be judged for practicality, ac- ’ curacy, originality, neatness and the use of wildlife management theories. Every contest must have an award and in this wildlife contest five winners will be chosen statewide. An Indiana biologist will visit each winning school to award a S2OO cash prize to the school’s biology department. In addition, statewide publicity in television, radio and newspaper announcements will be used to honor the winners. If you are a high school student or know one who is interested in wildlife, tell him or her about this contest and tell your biology teacher also. For more information and an entry application, write Roy A. Grimes, ' District Biologist, Potato Creek State Recreation Area, North Liberty, Ind. 46554. Bill Leemon re-elected fire chief William Leemon and Max Duncan were re-elected to fire chief and first assistant chief by members of the Milford Fire Department.
