The crowd began filling the gym hours prior to the team’s arrival and was kept at a fever pitch by the school’s pep band and cheerleaders. The steady downpour of sleet and rain did nothing to dampen

Monday. April 2 will mark the reopening at the restaurant which is located at the Maxwelton Golf Course north of Syracuse. Restaurant goers will find some rather intensive remodeling and redecorating changes at that time. Perry has created a soothing atmosphere for diners at his Maxwelton Restaurant. The now beige decor is accented with I abundant greenery, and new lighted ceiling fans grace the dining area. The decor, a combination of golf prints and antiques, i will make the golfer and nongolfer alike at home at the Maxwelton Restaurant. A dance floor has also been inI stalled, and the lounge area moved further from the dining facility. to better accomodate family y dining. Plans for June. July and y August, says Perry, are to provide dinner/dance music on Friday and Saturday evenings. Also in Perry's future plans is the screening of the balcony which faces the golf course. He intends to begin serving meals in the screened patio area once that I remodeling project is completed.

the enthusiasm that greeted the champion eagers along their parade route to the gym, and the young men were visibly moved, many to tears, by the displays of affection. Several persons, including Warsaw Mayor Jeff Plank, took their turn at the microphone to congratulate the team on winning Warsaw's first boys’ state cham-

year-round, has new dinner and luncheon menus as well. Some new favorites on the both versatile and complete Maxwelton menu include: Steak Au Poivre, a delicious pepper steak; Barbeque Ribs; Sweet and Sour Chicken; Sole Florentine; and Shrimp Provencale. The Maxwelton Golf Course, says Perry, is public and no memberships are required to enjoy dining at the Maxwelton Restaurant which is licensed to serve liquor on Sunday. Beginning Sunday, April 8, a weekly brunch will be served. A wide array of breakfast and luncheon items will be available for the dining pleasure of Maxwelton patrons. Brunch selections will include eggs, sausage, chicken, roast beef, danish, fresh fruits and many others. The menu selection isn’t the only thing that caters to the customer at Maxwelton. It won’t be unusual for restaurant patrons to find Keith Perry greeting his guests in the dining room during lunch and dinner. “It has always been my policy that anytime a customer has a problem I handle it,” explained Perry, who tries to know all his customers by name.

pionship. As each team member came forward to add a few words, the crowd roared its approval time after time. Carl Sands, father of junior Joe Sands, brought the Tiger fans to their feet when he presented team members, managers, coaches and the varsity cheerleaders with individually engraved championship trophies. Sands had the trophies made prior to Saturday's finale in an optimistic show of support that touched everyone present at Sunday’s session. Persons viewing the Tiger’s performances on Saturday and the television interviews after the final game, could not help but be impressed with the maturity and poise the new state champions displayed. Warsaw can be very proud of these young men — they are true champions! THIS WEEK we received a letter from Lura Elkerton of Fort Morgan, Colo., that we are sharing with our readers. It follows: “I am Lura G. (Groves) Elkerton. I was born in Milford, Ind., Feb. 22, 1893. My mother was Netta Ellen Felkner. My grandfather was M. B. Groves. My aunt’s name was Belle Pinkerton — she had a daughter, Eloise. "We lived one-half block from the school house (it seems like the street was Emetine). At age 91, I don’t always get dates right. We lived in Milford until I was 4 years old — then we moved to Mattoon, 111. "Oh! how different the roads were. Anytime in Milford I could run across the street (at age 4) to see my Aunt Belle. When we moved to Mattoon I tried to go across the street in the middle of the block and my mother saw a man pulling me out of the mud. "In 1909 we moved to Lincoln, 111., then, also in 1909, to Fort Morgan, Colo. My father had taken a homestead 21 miles southwest of Fort Morgan on the

county line. We moved into a sheep hearders shack there — one room with two bunk beds, laundry stove and wooden table. “Later I taught school in that district — in three different schools —for five years. "Robert Groves and his sister Dorothea Kerlin are my cousins." ELSEWHERE IN this issue is the wedding of Jeffrey Hoerr and Rocio Eljaiek in Cartagena, Colombia, S. A., last January. The new Mr. and Mrs. Hoerr are currently living in Canton, Ohio. Below is an account Jeff, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hoerr of near Milford, wrote on bringing his bride to the USA. “Rocio and I had tried to brace ourselves for what we believed would follow our wedding. Back in early November, I called the customs and immigration office in Cleveland to find out what was required to bring a citizen of Colombia into the United States as my wife. Being a little naive, I didn’t think that things could be too difficult for two people in love. "Naive was definitely the word, because they told me that Rocio should expect to wait a minimum of three months for her resident visa to be issued which would allow her to enter the United States. I thought that there surely must be away to speed things up. It just couldn’t take that long. “So I contacted an immigration lawyer in Cincinnati who was very helpful and knowledgeable and only charged me $62.75 plus three long distance phone calls to tell me that Rocio should expect to wait a minimum of three months to get her visa. "I decided to try the political route. "I called my Congressman’s Canton office and talked to a very

spirited aide who promised me the Senator would do everything he could to expedite the process and that he would check it out and get right back to me. Actually, someone else called me right back and let me know that Rocio should expect to wait a minimum of three months to get her visa. "This was all beginning to sound a little familiar. "So Rocio and I talked it over (and over and over) and decided that if we wanted our wedding to be the way we had planned, then we would just have to face it. In the meanwhile, I obtained the forms we would need to fill out and I got all of my personal documents lined up that I would need to prove that I was a gainfully employed US citizen. “The day following the wedding we went to a city near Rocio’s home (two hours away at 75 mph). Rocio’s cousin Sonia had a friend who worked as an American Consul official at the Embassy’s branch office there. You see, the American Embassy issues the visas. The Colombian government has very little to do with the whole process. “Unfortunately, Sonia’s friend didn’t meet with us and instead assigned another gentleman to speak with us. He turned out, however, to be a very pleasant man who (although he talked too much) quickly approved the initial form (which was actually an application to get more forms). But he told us we would have to go to Bogota (the capital) to finish the process. “So the next day we left Rocio’s home to go on our honeymoon, which was beginning to seem more like a business trip. Luckily, the day before Rocio w as able to get her physical exam performed and signed by one of the three doctors authorized by the American Embassy to do so. “At the American Embassy in Bogota we contacted the man whose name we had been given

by the man at the other office. He also sent another personto talk to us. This woman gave us the rest of the forms we would need to fill out. We found out that the part of the process that took 3 months was getting FBI clearance for Rocio. However, the woman said that she would ask for permission to Telex the information to Washington and that it would be considered ‘priority’ if we were in a rush. I replied that it was more like an emergency. “The following day, we learned that the information had been sent to Washington by Telex. “So, I returned to Canton by myself to begin ‘the wait.’ “Three days after I got back I called Colombia and was told by her brother that the FBI had already sent clearance for Rocio so she returned to Bogota for the interview. “She was with me 10 days after we parted ... just a little better than the three months we’d expected. I'd say we had a little help ...” PERSONS WHO watch the rerun of the championship game between Warsaw and Vincinnes

on Channel 22 Sunday will want to pay close attention to the L. M. Berry commercials congratulating the Tigers. The art work used for the commercial was done by David Butler, husband of former Milford area resident Sue Scott, for tournament posters. David and Sue also did the lettering on the van recently presented to the Wawasee High School Music Department by the Music Boosters; and David will be remembered for painting the scene on the north side of the drug store building in Milford a few years ago.
