Paul Silvestri makes weather predicting sound easy and fun
‘ Admitting that predicting the weather is part scientific and part educated guesswork. Paul Silvestri, meterologist for Channel 22-TV, South Bend, at least knows how to make the subject entertaining He appeared Saturday night at the Milford Community Building before a Milford Kiwanis Club ladies’ night at which Milford Lions Club members and their ladies were guests. The joint meeting has turned into atn annualaffair. The ’Superbowl" “For a meterologist working here (in the Lake Michigan area > is like the superbowl," the’ popular young meterologist said He’ called weather predicting “very sophisticated" with the new equipment coming on line, but -said he would not predict more than three days in advance. He spoke of the friendly competition between meterologists of the several local television stations, giving rise, to the statement that he was the "first meterologist in the South Bend area.” The 37-year-old ex-Chicagoan. said in college he took only/ weather courses — no television, no speech and no journalism It was at Chicago’s Channel? where he worked with weatherman John Coleman that his career took off Silvestri said Coleman told him. “Get put in front of the camera That's where the fun is ", His first assignment was with a Chattanooga. Tenn . station, where “the people talked funny.’’ He later went on a Cincinnati, Ohio, station, and finally to South Bend He had only good things to say about his present assignment and the area Channel 22 covers Silvestri displayed a keen sense of humor and kept his audience in stitches He said he frequently “looks out the window" before going on the air. and allowed that a ruler comes in handy on! occasion to accurately tell how much snow fell His audience fell into the jovial mood, as indicated by one question: "Do you ever flip a coin to see if it is going to rain?”

“No," Silvestri said, "but I do read the almanac a lot." For a young Chicagoan who set out to become a school teacher, he seems to have found his niche in the sophisticated, charged world of television.

Con arfsfs posing as NIPSCO men in the area
Northern Indiana Public Service Company issued an alert to customers to be aware of “con artists” posing as NIPSCO employees to gain entrance to homes and businesses. The spring season is a particularly active time for this type of crime, the utility officials said. Area residents can protect themselves from such swindlers by following a few simple rules: Don’t allow any person to enter the hffne without checking for identification. NIPSCO employees have photo-identifica-tion cards and their identification can be verified by calling the local customer service office. Don’t allow strangers to wander freely throughout your home. , Don’t permit anyone to disassemble your furnace or appliances without your consent. - Deal only with reputable heating, plumbing and electrical contractors. Check carefully any promotions offering “big money savings.” You can also contact your local Better Business Bureau if you have any questions about local businesses or contractors. “We don’t want any customer fooled by these unscrupulous people, some of them posing as NIPSCO meter readers, inspectors or service personnel,” a NIPSCO spokesman said. Largely Education is largely a matter of choosing one’s company wisely, and listening in silence. News, Detroit Naturally The man who thinks he knows everything always irritates those of us who do.
