Wed., April 25,1984 - THE MAIL-JOURNAL

iAt Large. . . 11 “A view of the political 11 | | scene in Kosciusko County" 11 THERE’S NO real assurance that the unanimous vote of the Warsaw Community School Board, taken Friday morning, favoring a new $2.1 million swimming pool, is the last word on the matter. The Kosciusko County Taxpayers’ Association, headed by Robert K. Moore, has been against the new pool for a variety of reasons, and is contemplating legal action, an expenditure the group thinks the taxpayers can ill afford. The school board’s Friday vote favoring the pool left a lot of people grossly unhappy. The community of school patrons, who in the final analysis will be footing the bill for the pool, are sharply divided on the rather thorny issue. So divided, in fact, that the school board saw fit to pay out $3,922.30 for a handwriting expert to verify the signatures on a widely circulated petition against the pool, to see if the signatories were property owners, thus legitimate protestors. Those who circulated the petition against the new pool said they had an 80 percent acceptance across the board, and in some areas as high as 95 percent of those asked readily signed the protest petition. Reasons voiced against a new community swimming pool were many and varied, some sentimental while some concerning matters of the pocket book. Former Warsaw school board member Bill Chapel, who has been thrust to the forefront of the protest movement, said he favored a pool in 1981 when the matter of a pool and a new freshman high school and addition to the present high school came up. “But the conditions were completely different then, ” Chapel told this column. Among the reasons advanced by the protest group were these: The new “prime time” law that would reduce class sizes to 18 students each.will work a financial burden on the school corporation’s finances, just how much no one really knows at this point. Another reason: The operating expense of the new pool is estimated to be from $150,000 to $175,000 per year. Another: There are currently insufficient monies to purchase adequate supplies for the music and art departments. Still another: There are reports the inadequate finances could do away with the advanced shop at the high school. And finally: That there is inadequate funding of proper remedial reading programs in the lower grades. Asked about this latter, Mr. Chapel said when he was on the school board several years ago it was discovered that 30 percent of the sixth grade students needed remedial reading. When asked why, teachers in that field said they needed more teachers to do the job. And there is fundingagain. Pool protestors collectively seemed to be saying it comes down to a matter of priorities, and that a new swimming pool for the Warsaw school system was well down on this list. School board members have made their decision The ball is in the court of the protest group. The next move is theirs. Board members are Larry Bair, president, Tom Lemon, Robert Tess, John Frederick, James Keeton, Martha Klinger and Jean Bower. -o—---0 TINA HOSKINS of Warsaw abruptly resigned as Kosciusko County coordinator for St. Joseph County Prosecuting Attorney Michael P. Barnes, a Democratic candidate for the Third District nomination for congress from the Third District. Named in her place is Leßoy Miller, also of Warsaw, and former campaign manager for Virginia Summe in her successful bid for the Warsaw city council. Whether candidate Barnes’ failure to show up for a debate in the county with rival candidates Steve Ross, Dave M. Barrett and Jerry Bolinger had anything to do with Tina Hoskins resignation is not certain. —O'KOSCIUSKO COUNTY Commissioner from the Northern District Maurice Dorsey of North Webster has been very quiet about the Sharp-Beer race for his replacement. Quiet, that is, until Monday of this week when he openly endorsed Maurice Beer, Milford farmer, as his replacement. He called Beer “well qualified for the post.” In his endorsement of Beer, Dorsey didn’t fail to take a swipe at Beer’s opponent, Ronald Sharp of Syracuse. Dorsey wrote, “In far too many instances his (Sharp’s) decisions on the County Council have not been in the best interest of Kosciusko County.” Dorsey’s comments can be understood, in that he and Sharp have had their differences in methods of funding various Kosciusko County agencies and services in the past. For one. Dorsey favored the local option tax. while Sharp rallied support on the County Council to kill it. There are other differences as well. Sharp has been hammering away at this theme of financing county agencies and services meanwhile, appearing before about anyone or any group that would listen. He appeared before the Kiwanis Club of Lakeland Monday morning at the North Webster Church of God, along with county coroner candidate Michael A. Andrews. Next Monday morning is Beer’s turn, along with incumbent coroner Gerald A. Eastlund. who is seeking re-election
