At Large. . . “A view of the political scene in Kosciusko County”
PROBABLY NO OTHER politician in Kosciusko County has had so much speculation about her future employment. Kosciusko County Republican party Chairman and County Auditor Jean Northenor has been rumored for anew position with the County Council, to a federal post in Washington D.C., and as license branch manager, but the latest “At Large” speculation seems to have more credibility than others. The First National Bank of Warsaw has been considering offering Mrs. Northenor a job with the bank, and inasmuch as she has extensive experience in accounting, the bank could do no wrong in offering her a job. With her wide knowledge of people in the county and her popularity in the GOP party statewide, First National could greatly benefit from her ability. —o— A “GRASS-ROOTS” MOVEMENT may be underway in the courthouse for a possible walkout if the County Council does not grant a pay increase for county employees during budget hearings September 6 and 7. » Although it is unlikely the council will not grant the pay increases, (most county offices requested a 10 per cent hike) the council has not come through with an agreed “evaluation” of all county offices. Also, the council held several pre-budget hearings to discuss the salary issue with department heads a year ago, which has not been the case this time. ■ The hearings were probably scheduled because the council knew no pay hikes would be granted, officials say, and wanted to appear they were trying. With no pay increases last year, disgruntled county workers just might try the drastic measure as a show of support over the serious issue.

IT JUST couldn’t be opening day without the welcome address given by Principal Howard J. Hull. Hull made his organizational plea to students over the building’s public address system, asking them to read their student manuals and adhere to Wawasee’s code of ethics for the year. Hull welcomed the 238 freshmen to the school and the five new teachers who joined the faculty. This is Hull’s second opening-day as principal since arriving at Wawasee in mid-year during the 1981-82 school year. “The preparation is about the same, but now I feel much more relaxed because I’m more confident about our staff and our students, ** he said. Hull met with the teachers last Thursday during the two-day teachers’ meetings last week. “I mostly talked about what I expect from them and what they can expect from me,” Hull said. THE OUTSIDE grounds at the high school received a new coat of paint, thanks to the work of the CETA workers this summer, and the building trades class will return this year. “It’s been a good opening thus far,” said Marilyn Curtis, guidance director at Wawasee High School, during a hectic morning of juggling schedules, new student and transfers. The big school opened its door Monday morning for about 880 students. The first-day figure is just about on target with the enrollment at the end of last year which was 881. “There are still some no shows, and we won’t know the exact figures until at least the second day,” Mrs. Curtis said. Among the enrolled this year, though, are 45 new students who will join the high school’s population this fall. The guidance office was busy Monday a.m. registering students who didn’t or couldn’t make it to registration days earlier last week

ROINE AND Herb Dickerson, who reside on the channel near Beer’s Realty, are still smarting over an auto accident that involved their 1982 white Lincoln Continental in uptown Syracuse about two weeks ago. They had parked their handsome vehicle and gone into the Syracuse Case for their usual morning tete-a-tete with friends at the long table when they heard a crash. As it turned out, an out-of-town driver had hit their car on the left rear side. To their complete surprise and disappointment, they learned the repair bill is estimated at over >2,400, and they’re having difficulty making contact with the driver’s responsible insurance company. The Dickersons hope to leave for their Florida home in October, as usual, and now fear that trip will be delayed somewhat. THE AREA Nutritional Site for Senior Citiiens. which meets each noon at the Syracuse Scout Cabin, will observe its seventh anniversary on Tuesday, Sept. 13, with members already working for a heavier-than-usual turn out for the occasion. They plan door prizes, things like that, to attract a crowd. Georgia Buster, its first director, says the group, with regular attenders coming from Syracuse, Milford and North Webster and points in between, has about 20 eating and visiting at the center each day, five days a week. A van, driven by Pam Huffer, brings in those who do not have regular transportation — 14 on Monday of this week, as an example. The seniors are being faced with establishing a new center in Syracuse, and, according to one, “have a place all picked out,” but that they are awaiting approval. Marilyn (Mrs. Charles) Taylor is director of the center. —o— THE CETA workers, supervised by Barb Brouwer and Terri Stevens, painted the press box at the football field a new coat of green. Miss Stevens, who is the school’s athletic trainer and assistant volleyball and track coach, displayed some of her many talents as an artist. She painted new letters on the “Welcome Warriors” sign at the athletic fields making for a very profes-sional-looking greeting sign. A house has already been designed for the building trades class to build, and it is expected to be built in the Potowatomi Addition near Syracuse Lake. CHIC AND petite Tonya Swihart showed up for work at the offices of Thornburg Drugs this week wearing a fetching melon and blue outfit and sporting a thin tie what was the property of her late father, Roy Shand, longtime worker at Ziny mers orthopedic manufacturers in Warsaw, looking every bit the model employee. Tonya’s dad was big on square dancing, with the tie being his trademark. JOE DOCK has on his desk at the treatment plant a copy of the Tishomingo County News, issued weekly from luka, Mississippi. Os interest to Joe were several photos of local residents who caught large fish in the area, with the cutlines noting that the bait for the several catches was purchased from Dock’s Bait Shop. “Who owns Dock’s Bait Shop?” we asked.? Joe offered, “Why, that’Srmy uncle Lowell and aunt Marie’s place.” They are former Chapman Lake residents, moving south seven years ago.

IW tures for Fun. This could be a very fine program for folks over 50. Know your neighbor — Know your teachers I look forward every week for My Milford Mail-Journal to come. I am 87 years old. Editorials could be improved. These are below average in choice of subject material and depth of thought. Recent example: Mud wrestling — who cares! Very intersting and enjoyable reading. A weekly feature story on the various lakes — their history and points of interest. We feel we can be proud of our local paper — especially enjoy the summer ball coverage and school news. Kids really think it’s neat to have picture or name in. Good paper — keep up the good work. It’s all good reading We’d like to receive The M-J on Wednesday instead of Thursday. We like the paper very much. The only suggestion we have is that if ever the paper could be the 14 inch width as most papers, it would makes for more comfortable reading.
