PAT SPEICHER of Pat Speicher Insurance in Milford has achieved certificatm from the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation to sell and service insurance coverage on com, oats, soybeans and wheat. According to William A. Badgley, director, Indianapolis Field Operations Office of the FCIC, Speicher earned the certification by participating in an intensive training program recently conducted in Fort Wayne and successfully passing examinations that required a knowledge of all aspects of the federally-backed insurance program. The training and testing program was initiated in the fall of 1982 to assure a high level of professional competency among private insurance agents who offer federal crop insurance to farmers in the communities.

Federal erop insurance policies, which provide coverage against all ana voidable causes of loss, are designed to offer farmers an affordable way to protect the substantial sums of money which must be invested and risked to produce a crop. Hie insurance can also assure a source of income to repay outstanding production k>ant» and to meet fixed expenses such as taxes and mortgage payments.

Wysong tells Lions obout Warrior team

“Every game is a superbowl to me,” recounted Wawasee High !>cbool basketball coach John Wysong when he spoke to the 1 dilford Lions Club Monday night. And he said he is looking forward to a good game at Goshen .Friday night, with the Goshen ledskins coming to the court with an 8-2 record and his Warriors with a 9-3 record. Wysong, now in his second year it Wawasee. said he “takes one game at a time,” and called this year’s Warriors “the most hardworking team I’ve coached in my five years of coaching. ” He said the team members have convinced him they want to play ball. “I teach what I believe and what I like,” he said, noting he “wants evary boy to feel important to the team. ” He said he really loves the game of basketball and wants to see the team members play hard, to play their best. “They must want to win,” he said. Wysong, a youthful 28, has worked with individual players and it shows. He has brought out the best in tall (6’11”) Ron Spuner, as an instance. He said, “We’re not awesome and we’re

not overpowering,” but his team really tries hard. He said the school administration has been great, giving him the reigns to let him do the best he can in coaching the team. He said, “I just try to be myself and not assume any role as the Warrior’s coach.” He said the win-loss record doesn’t really measure a team’s success. Coach Wysong attended high school at Fairfield, where he coached for three seasons before coming to Wawasee. A graduate of Tri-State University, where he starred on the basketball team, he was 45-23 in his three seasons atFHS. In his first season at Wawasee, he surprised area enthusiasts by guiding his team to a Triton Sectional championship. His team finished the season 13-10.
