Mishler to co-sponsor bill to prevent deaths
“It’s time to get something done,” remarked State Representative Greg Mishler, Bremen, who is also a former Milford resident, “I am tired of reading about it and hearing about all these situations that shouldn’t be.” Mishler is cosponsor of a bill aimed at preventing more deaths of children whose parents deny medical treatment because of religious beliefs, like Faith Assembly members. The legislation he and State Representative Bob Aiderman, Fort Wayne, would be cosponsoring would “eliminate religious defense from the child neglect law when serious bodily injury or death are involved.” The law currently provides a defense for parents who withold food, clothing, shelter or medical care from their children, if they provide spiritual treatment. New legislation would not violate the constitutional protection and freedom of religion. “We are going to have people, Christian Scientists and many other fundamentalist churches fighting it. In my own mind there has been a problem with the fine line between church and state. I don’t think it will truly be a problem here. We will get a lot of arguments.” Mishler remarked the process

is going to be very emotional and controversial to the extent some of the various religious factions will feel “we’re stepping on toes and the state is interfering with the church. I definately feel this legislative act will pass, but it’s not going to go uncontested.” Aiderman and Mishler discussed the problems which may arise by sponsoring the legislation. Mishler remarked they both realize it is not an “easy road to hoe,” but they both feel it is “absolutely necessary.” The primary job of the two legislators is to familiarize colleagues what is actually going on and substantiate that with news releases. Mishler wanted to introduce legislation on this matter last year, however the infant doe bill came up and most of his time was spent on that. The spiritual healing idea was put in the back of his mind “something like this will take care of itself.” “ “I’ve become so disgusted about it. I told Alerdman how I felt.” This bill will effect so many who have similar beliefs to Faith Assembly, on denying medical care to minors. “It’s not limited to this area. Mishler commented if the bill comes off it will set a precedent and will be tested all the way to the US Supreme Court. He feels
there is a need to address the issue. “I become more depressed each time I read an article,” Prosecutors and members of the legal profession will not attempt to attack it unless legislation process is adopted. “We’ll give them the mechanics to fullfill their obligation in law enforcement. Mishler has wanted to do something of this nature and he feels that now he has the opportunity to do something about it. “I’d be negligent if I didn’t. I do not have a vendetta against the people of the Faith Assembly.”

What is now being attempted is to place a piece of equipment in that area for operation under the direction of the Syracuse-Turkey Creek Township Fire Department.

Between Leesburg and Webster —
local officials track, kill 'pet' timber wolf
Kosciusko County Humane Officer Jeff Gibbs along with the Kosciusko County, Indiana State and Syracuse Police Departments spent most of Monday night and early Tuesday morning searching the Leesburg-North Webster area for an escaped timber wolf that was being kept by Fred Ruoff, r 1 Leesburg. The wolf, owned by Patrick Jake Galloway, a South Bend police officer, had been moved to the Ruoff resident from the Saint Joseph County Humane Society Shelter where it was being kept following the attack of a seven-year-old South Bend boy. Bryce Cramer, East Ewing Street, South Bend, was attacked by the wolf on April 24 after the animal broke its chain. As a result of the attack, Cramer received 45 stitches in his leg. Galloway signed an agreement with South Bend’s city attorney saying he would no longer keep

rebuilt less than five years ago. It carries its own 500-gallon water tank. Its condition is comparable to most pumping equipment used by large and small fire departments over the state, and it is of greater capacity than a lot of this equipment. (5) There is no Commandment from Heaven or Indiana statute that dictates that all firefighting personnel and equipment arrive at a fire at the same time. Indeed, in most cases ranging from purely rural areas to the state’s largest cities, one pumper, accompanied by tow or three men, arrives first. This pumper and crew do noCstand by; they get to work, fighting fire, rescuing people and so on. Frequently an initial attack pumper, arriving from a short distance in a short time, can have a fire under control and threats to life and limb removed prior to arrival of additional equipment. In firefighting, seconds count. (4) Turkey Creek Township residents are not sent bills for fire service; it is provided by their government. The funds are provided by tax levies and voluntary contributions by some individuals and firms, including firemen themselves, above that. (5) Letters to the Editor critics of the fire protection proposal for the distant (from Syracuse) portion of the township remind one of those who might use heavy artillery to kill a gnat. The gnat may be dispatched, but it’s an awful waste of power. (6) The proposal to place fire equipment in the area in dispute
the wolf in the city limits. The animal had reportedly bit three other people in the city before the Cramer incident and was causing concern among neighbors. Ruoff, a friend of Galloway’s, was keeping the wolf, which weighed between 125 and 150 pounds, on a chain until he could build a pen with hard flooring to keep the animal from digging out. The wolf broke its chain at approximately 10 p.m. and Ruoff notified the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department to request asisstance. Gibbs went to the Ruoff residence with assistants and tried to tranquilize the animal, but was unsuccessful. At 1 am., Ruoff and Gibbs decided the animal should be destroyed and were able to wound it in the hindquarters. The wolf fled but the officers tracked it approximately threequarters of a mile from Ruoff’s

Top fishermen honored at annual Brock contest
John Gaut was awarded first prize for catching a 10-pound pike and Jason Douglas received first place for the most fish caught by landing 37, Saturday at the annual Brock Manufacturing Fishing Contest held on Waubee Lake. Second place prizes went to Tim Haan and Charlie Woodling for a four-pound bass and catching 21 fish, respectively, at the contest that is organized each year by Brock employees. This year, 21 participated despite the rain threatening day. All fishing was completed at 11 a.m. with 175 fish caught collectively. In addition to the largest and most fish caught awards, less serious honors were distributed. John King and Kenny Brooks were presented with a homemade “depthfinder” made from a 10-foot plastic tubing from Brock for their poor showing of one fish caught between the two. Denny
home where it was shot and killed. Timber wolves are not native to Indiana and although the state does not have an ordinance or law prohibiting ownership of wild animals, Dr. Michael Fox, scientific director of the Humane Society of the United States, said the wolf problem is becoming more and more common across the country. According to an article from the Monday ‘‘South Bend Tribune,” Fox said problems arise when an animal is raised in captivity and its nature is forced to change because of captivity. He further stated, “The wolf is not to blame.” Also assisting in the hunt were Kosciusko and Allen County conservation officers. Short kids may have asthma According to a study done by the University of British Columbia in Canada, children who are much shorter than most other kids their own age are more likely to suffer from asthma and other respiratory conditions. Researchers found that children aged between three and 17 had three times as much respiratory illness among those whose heights were three percentage points below normal for their age.
Yoder and Joe Lea mon claimed they caught only small fish which were thrown back, so they were presented with a “fish finder” to aid them in finding bigger fish. The gag award was a glass jar to use to look under water. Juanita Sparks hostess for Home Arts A strawberry dessert, mints and nuts were served to the 11 members and two guests by hostess Juanita Sparks when the Home Arts Club met Wednesday, May 11. The meeting was opened by repeating the pledge of allegiance to the flag and the club creed. The song of the month “Beautiful Dreamer” was led by Kathleen Naegele. Meditation was given by Mrs. Sparks. Various members gave tips on gardening, among them a hint on planting radishes in ashes. The health and safety lesson was tips on lawnmower safety. There are 50,000 accidents annually due to carelessness; men suffer 62 per cent, women 20 per cent and children 18 per cent of the accidents. Never fill a lawnmower with gas with the engine running and always wear close-fitting clothes. Nilah Jonasch reported on jurors. A jury is composed of persons over the age of 18 who are resident voters of the county. Prospective jurors may be excused if they are over 65 years of age or for reasons they present, and if questions by the opposing parties in the case show they cannot be impartial. Why call men and women away from their affairs to try law suits instead of judges hearing the case? Because of the opinion that 12 people know more of the affairs of life than one man. Ruth Zimmerman reviewed lessons on microwave cooking, machine embroidery and monogramming and preparing and drying fruits and vegetables. Mrs. Zimmerman won the door prize and the meeting was adjourned by repeating the Home Demonstration Chib prayer. The next meeting will be June 14 with Vera Craven as hostess. WHO KNOWS 1.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Former Milford resident Greg Mishler, a state representative from Bremen, is co-sponsoring legislation in the next general assembly which is aimed at preventing more deaths of children whose parents are members of religious organizations that do not believe in seeking medical attention. Do you support this move or not? Results of last week's question: There has been much talk lately about whether or not President Reagan should have granted asylum to the young Chinese tennis star or not. What do you think? He should not have allowed her to stay because it has caused to much trouble between the two countries ... I believe she has a right to live where ever she wants to.. . From what I know about it, it was okey... It was wrong, wrong. One will lead to others just like Russians keep trying to remain in our country. It has to stop somewhere .. Haven’t paid much attention to that. They are always letting someone into our country who probably shouldn’t be here. . . That’s a hard question from what I know of it, I guess it is okey. . . I don’t know anything about it, said three people ... I have mixed emotions. One part says yes but on the other hand is it really worth all the fuss... It was a tough decision he had to make — I don’t know how 1 would have handled it.. What tennis player? Don’t know anything about it. ;. Maybe less said about it there wouldn’t be so many problems. I am sure other people have sneaked into our country with less publication .. . It’s too bad she just couldn’t come on her own. Also too bad things were not good for her in China and she felt the need to come here and leave her family . It’s a sticky situation I wouldn’t care to have to decide her fate... We don’t need the complications of another country complaining, so Reagan should have backed away from that.
Pension funds draw investors
By EDWARD THORLUND While the general population has reentered stock market investing, as have foreign investors, the biggest source of buying remains the various pension funds. This means, in the American free enterprise system, that workers are investing in stocks indirectly — whether they themselves are buying individual stocks. Latest figures show that in 1982 pension funds bought more stocks than any other group of investors Os approximately $43 billion invested in the stock market by funds, banks and other investing organizations, pension funds invested $36 billion of that — or more than four-fifths of the total. Thus, what managers of pension funds do has a major effect on the market — and that effect is growing year by year. This means the individual, or small investor, is somewhat at the mercy of the big pension fund managers. Private pension funds in 1982 invested $15.7 billion dollars in stocks, public pension funds $14.7 billion and other pension funds $5.7 billion. Individual investors have recently returned to the market in volume for the first time in

some years and they. too. affect the trend in the market. But big buys and sales by the pension funds have a greater and more immediate impact. Thus it's beneficial to know the latest thinking of pension fund manager-investors when planning individual portfolio selections. The pension fund managers may not always be right, but whether they are right or wrong, major shifts in policy on their part can have immediate results on Wall Street prices. Os late, they have, of course, been bullish and are anticipating a long bull market. • Lakeland Local Mr. and Mrs. George Lambert, Bern, Kan., were in the area visiting relatives.
