Cooper wins Hoosier division of boss tourney

Ralph (Sonny) Cooper found a concentration of bass in a tributary creek and spinnerbaited his way to victory when the Hoosier Division of the Red Man Tournament Trail competed on the Ohio River July 17. Cooper, 42, a truck driver from Vincennes, Ind., thrashed a sixfish Indiana limit of bass weighing a solid 13 pounds, six ounces to top the 171-man field and take the $2,138 first-place check. Fishing the Oil Creek Tributary of the Ohio River, Cooper found a section of the feeder in which vegetation blowing from the trees had attracted a swarm of shad. The shad, in turn, attracted hungry bass from which Cooper took his limit on a quarter-ounce, white Hawg Caller spinnerbait worked around fallen logs and stumps along the creek channel. Phil Wuensch, Indianapolis, was another one was fished Oil Creek, He placed second to

Cooper with three bass weighing a hefty 11-4, earning him the $1,120 runner-up check. Wuensch used brown Culprit worms in standing timber along the Oil Creek channel to take his fish. Wallace Nash, Louisville, Ky.', was third with four keepers weighing 10-8. He earned $692. Nash took his quartet of bass by working channel bank stumps in Bear Creek with six-inch Sloan’s Copperhead worms. Fred Willis of Norman, Ind., was fourth with five bass weighing 10-2.

Bob Boyd, Kokomo, snatched the $632 big bass pot for catching the largest single fish of the event, a 64) bass that he fooled on a black jig dressed with a black/chartreuse worm trailer. Despite oppressive heat and humidity, 121 of the 171 entrants

managed to score at least one legal fish. Most of the bass taken came from woody cover in the tributary creeks. The purse for the Ohio River meet was $6,412. The Red Man Tournament Trail consists of 10 divisions in competition in 11 states, each division featuring a series of six SSO-entry-fee, one-day tournaments for “working man” bass anglers. Rewards for top finishers stay meaty due to a 100 per cent return of entry money in the form of cash prizes along the trail. Purses are guaranteed by supporting sponsors Ryobi American Corp., Humminbird by Techsonic, Mann’s Bait Co. and Stroh Brewery CO. A minimum winner’s prize of SI,OOO is guaranteed at each tournament, but heavy tournament fields have made the awards notably richer. The angler who earns the most points through the season in each of the 10 divisions will win SI,OOO from OMC — SSOO from Evinrude motors, SSOO from Johnson outboards. The greatest payoffs will come at the Red Man All American Bass Championship to be fished Oct. 18-22 at Kentucky Lake/Lake Barkley in western Kentucky. The top 24 Hoosier Division anglers will qualify for this no-entry-fee, high-stakes event. The Red Man All American will feature a purse including more than $125,000 in cash, 10 Ranger bass boats and, for the big bass award, a 150 hp Mercury Black Max outboard motor.

Mb EL I B ■ • MIZPAH SHRINE HORSE SHOW — The 29th Annual Mizpah Shrine Charity Horse Show will be held at the Mizpah Horse Show Grounds, Columbia City, on July 29-31. Once again, the entire Mizpah Shrine membership dedicated this year’s Horse Show net proceeds to the Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children. The Mizpah Horse Show is one of the top accredited shows in the entire nation with all levels of competition. In addition to over 500 horses competing, the Mizpah Shrine Band and Shrine Bag Pipers will perform. Heat waves can prove hazardous

By DOUG WALKER The recent record-breaking heat wave, the hottest thus far in the latter half of the century, caused a great deal of discomfort in the Lakeland area before it subsided earlier this week. On a regional level, the effects of the high temperatures were grimmer, as over 125 people, many of them from the Saint Louis area, perished. According to Syracuse physician Jack Clark, extremely high temperatures can wreak havoc on vulnerable individuals' heath. Dr. Clark said there were three basic levels of health problems associated with extremely hot weather. The first stage, experienced by many people at one time or another, brings on fatigue with victims feeling worn-out, nauseous and suffering muscle cramps. The second stage of heat exhaustion involves an increased level of exhaustion, with the victim becoming so weak that he or she can’t stand up. The third and most dangerous stage is the heat stroke, where the victim loses the ability to perspire. “With heat stroke, a person's temperature will rise, up as high as 106 degrees,” said Dr. Clark. “It’s pretty uncommon. It will happen more if a person’s been ill, or to an older person.” Heat stroke is a result of the loss of sodium within the body, Dr. Clark explained. A person suffering intestinal problems and nausea during a period of extreme heat will be especially susceptible, as their body is already losing salt and fluids. A person can decrease his or her chances of suffering a heat stroke by increasing salt intake. Dr. Clark said, adding that this option isn’t open to persons with kidney or heart ailments. The key to recognizing heat stroke as opposed to heat exhaustion is the lack of perspiration. Old Mill owners meet at home The property owners of Old Mill Place, Tippecanoe Lake, recently held their annual meeting at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Fred Malott with an early gathering for breakfast. Mr. and Mrs. Ron Kerlin and Lester Lennon were guests and spoke to the group regarding weed control. A group of the property owners were formed under the chairmanship of Bill Goba and will be actively involved in a weed control program. Election of officers for the coming year were held with Dr. Betty Jo Koss serving as president, Jerry R. Johnson, vice-president, Mary Lou Smith, secretary and O.W. Miller as treasurer.

Dr. Clark said. “It’s important that the heat stroke victim is cooled off rapidly,” he said. “A heat stroke can cause permanent brain damage. It can actually cook the brain cells.” While cases of heat stroke are fairly rare, the possibility of suffering one exists anytime the temperature exceeds that of the body (98.6 degrees), Dr. Clark said.

Summer anything but carefree for custodians

By DOUG WALKER Anyone who thinks that little if any work goes on at Wawasee High School during the summer is sadly mistaken, according to Roy Stiffler, head custodian at the school. In fact, Stiffler says, the custodial crew's work schedule during the summer is more hectic than during the school year. “People wonder what you do during the summer when there aren’t any kids here," said Stiffler. “Well, when they are here, there are a lot of things you just can’t get done.” Stiffler said that during the school year, the custodial crew is more involved with the daily routine of clean-up than with undertaking major, timeconsuming projects. These are generally saved for the summer months, he said. The major tasks undertaken by the Wawasee custodians each summer include washing all of the school’s walls, lights and windows; cleaning and waxing the furniture; putting a total of four coats of wax on the floors, concreting all of the school’s cement floors (including those at the auto mechanics facility); refinishing both gymnasium floors, and maintaining the swimming pool throughout the summer swimming program. Other projects, such as painting, are added to the schedule as they are needed, Stiffler said. Stiffler said the most hectic part of the summer involved the cleaning and refinishing of the gymnasium floors, because that

“Anytime the temperature is higher than body temperature, it’s possible to get into trouble,” he said. “It really depends on the individual.” Ironically, during the weeks of record-breaking temperatures, Dr. Clark treated only one victim of the heat, far fewer than in the past. “It might be that it was so miserably hot this year they took extra precautions, ” he said.

task has to be completed in a few days in late July and early August, in between the end of the school’s summer open-gym program and the beginning of autumn sports practices. Stiffler, who has been with* the high school since it opened in 1969, is in his 12th year as head custodian at the facility. He (currently heads a crew that consists of seven full-time custodians, with at least one part-time worker, Wawasee High School has frequently won praise for its cleanliness, and Stiffler takes pride in this fact. “It’s work keeping it up,” he admitted. “One guy went to work for us and lasted three weeks. He finally said it was too much for him and he couldn’t take it anymore. Some people think it’s a retirement job, just pushing a broom at night or something like that, but there's a lot more to it than that.” Stiffler said the credit for the fine overall condition of the high school can be shared by a number of parties in addition to the custodial crew. “The administration helps keep things in check,” he said. “And students, as a general rule, are proud of their building. ” The secret to keeping a building built in the 1960 s in a nearly-new condition is perseverance, Stiffler said. “It’s a matter of bearing down and staying with it,” he explained. “It’s just like anything else. If you let it go, it will get out of hand in a hurrv.”

The 4-H Junior Leader program, which serves as a hard-working labor force for the 4-H portion of the Fair, is up 50 per cent from lastyear. “These are the kids you see all over the Fair, working at the show. We went from 69 to 105.” he said. “We’re really excited about that”
