Whitko superintendent understands feelings

By BEN SMITH J. 0. Smith bleeds right along with everybody else in the Whitko School Corporation when it comes to the demise of the smalltown school. The silver-haired superintendent isn’t kicking up his heels with glee at the fact Larwill and Sidney will see their schools closed for good in the next year and a half or so as part of an ongoing consolidation plan. Smith recognizes the consternation many feel; however, because of the economic squeeze, believes the path chosen by the Whitko Board of Education is the only viable one. Present plans call for extensive remodeling to be done at the corporation’s other two elementary schools in Pierceton and South Whitley. Students now attending classes in Larwill and Sidney will be bussed to the other facilities once remodeling improvements have been made. Instead of four elementary schools there will be two: one each in Pierceton and South Whitley. The two middle schools

will remain in the same locations. Smith says the cost for remodeling and adapting the Pierceton and South Whitley buildings will run from $2,560,000$2,700,000. i “All our buildings need some kind of attention,’’ he adds. Smith cites increased fuel costs as the critical issue. Even with costs coming it’s not likely prices will bottom out to levels of the late 60s and early 70s. Smith says, the Larwill and Sidney school buildings are in need of constant attention because of their ages. The Sidney building is the oldest in the district. Estimates for fixing the Larwill school alone run in the area of $1,000,000, slightly under that in the case of the Sidney building, leaving little for the other two buildings. “If we fixed up those schools, there would not be enough left to maintain our other buildings,” he adds. Smith also points to declining enrollments in his corporattion as having a lot to do with present

plans. Whitko has lost 324 students in the last 12 years. “In ’76 and ’77 it looked as if it might stabilize,” Smith says, “but after that, enrollment continued to drop. Advised of the complete phasedown at Pierceton’s Whitley Products, slated to be in effect by May 31st, Smith musses, “Well, that sure puts us in a rust bowl, doesn’t it?” He says attempts at saving the Larwill and Sidney buildings are not underway, as is the case in the West Noble Corporation. There, citizens from Wawaka and Cromwell are attempting to work with the school board to either buy the buildings or work out leasing arrangements whereby the gyms at least can be saved for community use. “They haven’t worked on that yet here,” says Smith. “They’re not at all pleased about us closing down their schools. They’ve spent more time trying to stop the closings than making plans about how to use the old buildings. ’ ’ Smith says the corporation is in a finacial box,” with strict control of the general fund from Indianapolis being the case. Indiana’s tax freeze, instituted by former Governor Otis Bowen some years back, has reversed the percentage of revenues coming from state and local governments. Now, says Smith, 65 per cent must come from local revenues and 35 per cent from the state itself. Before, it was nearly the opposite situation. Smith adds school corporations are being pressured to consolidate further by the powers in Indianapolis. Essentially, consolidation has been good though he adds, because the variety of classes offered is much greater than it was when there were four small high schools going in the district years ago. State police sponsor career camp John T. Shettle, Indiana State Police superintendent, and David Holderman, Indiana District Kiwanis governor, have released the dates for the 1983 Career Camp at Indiana State University, Terre Haute, this summer. Boys from the southern half of the state will attend the camp during the week of July 10 through 15; boys from the north will attend July 17 through 22; and girls will attend July 24 through 29. Each delegate will be selected on the basis of scholastic record, mental attitude, physical fitness and interest in pursuing a career in criminal justice. In the camp they will study law enforcement topics and hear from guests representing all levels of the criminal justice system. Applications for attendance are available at the nearest Indiana State Police Post or local Kiwanis Club. They may also be obtained by writing: Career Camp, P.O. Box 89, Cambridge City, Ind. 47327. Gotshall gets FC 1985 convention The Society of Collegiate Journalists will hold its national biennial convention at Franklin College, Franklin, Ind., in April, 1985, and Professor Richard Gotshall recently participated as an advisor in securing the bid at the 1983 convention at the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Va. Gotshall, Franklin, is the son of' Mrs. W.R. Gotshall, r 2 Syracuse. He participated in several workshops throughout the threeday convention, which brought together more than 350 students from approximately 50 chapters across the nation. The Franklin chapter was named "Chapter of the Year ” for 1980-81. Gotshall has been on the Franklin faculty since 1979.

You’ll find lots of attractive features here. Except mine. I started out to give you a policy that would increase your coverage and probably save you a lot of money. I ended up with a policy that had so many benefits I was squeezed out of my own ad. What have I done? The Insurancenter’s Special Policy Instead of one insurance policy for your car and another for your home, my Special Policy gives you more protection on both by insuring them together. And it’s already saved many people hundreds of dollars. Here’s how it works: No more double standard With separate policies, you get separate (usually unequal) limits on home and auto liability. My Special Policy gives you one (usually higher) overall limit on both. No more quadruple standard A standard homeowners policy has separate limits for: (1) your house (2) your belongings (3) adjacent structures, like your garage, and (4) additional living expenses. My Special Policy gives you one (1) generous limit that amply covers them all. You’ll appreciate no depreciation Under a normal policy, you won’t get what it costs you to replace your belongings if anything happens to the contents of your house. You only get the replacement cost minus depreciation. My Special Policy gives you the full replacement cost (subject to

Council and representatives of other community organizations met last night at the Milford fire station to firm up plans for annual community activities to be held on Memorial Day, Monday, May 28. 29 YEARS AGO. MARCH 28.1973 The Milford Chamber of Commerce, meeting Monday night at the Melody Case, talked strongly of reviving the topic of zoning for Milford.
