YOU MIGHT say it runs in the family — Kathy Weisser, 17-year-old daughter of Fred and Diane Weisser of r 1 Milford, won the reserve grand champion steer honors at the Kosciusko County Fair this year. It was just 10 years ago. in 1974, that her brother, Greg, won reserve grand champion honors with his steer. Kathy's steer, appropriately named “Champ,” is shown above on the left with his mother and twin. It was in January of 1983 that Dr. Bruce Lamb was called to the Weisser farm near Milford to assist one of the Weisser cows in giving birth to twins The first twin born was strong, but the second calf was weak. Doug Weisser remembers carrying the 85-pound calf in to the house and after a few hours, returning it to its mother That night Kathy named him ' Champ’' as he appeared to really be a fighter. In fact, he became such a •fighter’ that during the next year “Champ” nearly was shipped off to market, but seemed to calm down and went off to the county fair to win the second highest prize in the 4-H steer competition in 1984. He was a 1,24 0 pound Simmentai-Maine Anjou crossbred steer Kathy is an eighth year member of the Milford Happy Bachelors 4-H Club, serving as president of the club this year.

Kathy has been accepted at a technological school in North Carolina where she will begin classes in the summer, pursuing a secretarial-management degree. WE MUST not forget to mention Brent Beer, son of Robert and Linda Beer of r 2 Milford, won grand championship honors with his 234 pound Crossbred barrow. Honors run in the Beer family too. Brent's sister. Sherri, won the Chester White guilt class this year at the fair. Five years ago she won the Chester White barrow class. Brent is 11 and is a three-year member of the Milford Successful 4-H’ers. His 4-H leader is Greg Kaiser. Brent is a member of the club's health and safety committee. Brent says his championship animal was given to him by his father. DUE TO his recent heart surgery, Howard Beer and his wife, Eleanor, r 2 Milford, w'ere unable to attend the county fair this past week as nine of their grandchildren showed animals in the swine and beef shows, but they must be feeling much pride as they are the grandparents of Brent and Sherri; Terry Templin, son of Jerry and Mary Jane (Beer) Templin, r 2 Leesburg, showed the champion Chiniana steer and his brother Scott, a top beef showman, completed his 10th year in 4-H. CARLTON (’CAP”) and

Mary Ann Beer are also continuing their support of 4-H as their granddaughter. Jenny Beer, completed her first year in 4-H by showing dairy heifers. Jenny, daughter of Dan and Debbie Beer, r 5 Syracuse, is also the granddaughter of Carl and Grace Shearer of Milford. Cap was also feeling much pride as he watched his young neighbor boys, James and Mike Kats, as they showed their dairy heifers. After much patience and many hours of hard work, the boys successfully went in the ring and came home with winning ribbons. WE CANNOT complete our comments on the fair without noting that Lisa Kaiser, daughter of Richard and Clara Kaiser of r 2 Milford is the 1984 Kosciusko County Pork Queen. She also displayed the grand champion gilt as well as the reserve champion Yorkshire gilt at the fair. DEBRA SCHAFER, too, deserves credit for her outstanding accomplishments. Deb, daughter of Dr. Gervis and Ann Schafer had the champion Hampshire gilt and the reserve champion Limousine steer. ANOTHER CHAMPION was Matt Haab, son of Alvin and Carol Haab, who exhibited the champion Chester White barrow. THE SUMMER reading program will come to an end soon and a party is being planned for August 15th at 1 p.m. for all of the youngsters enrolled in the program. The film, “Starwars” will be shown. There is a sign-up sheet at the library for those planning to attend. IRENE BLITON is another person who lives on the west side of Milford who made improvements to her home this year. She added a screened in patio on the east side of her West Fourth Street home. It looks like a pleasant place to while away restful evenings without the benefit of mosquitos. PHYLLIS BEER, well known waitress at J-W’s in Milford, was among those tripping the light fantastic at a 40th year class reunion at the Goshen Holiday Inn Saturday night.

ERIK TREESH MR AND Mrs Don Ahrns of Milford recently returned from their 19 day tour of Europe. They visited Finland. Sweden, Denmark and West Germany. The Ahrns traveled with their daughter Nancy Treesh and approximately 30 other people. The Ahrns went to Europe to watch their grandson. Erik Treesh. compete on a soccer team against other teams from other countries. Erik, 16 years old, tried out for the St. Francis deSalles soccer team in Houston and qualified for a position. All team members were 18 and under and paid their own way for the trip. Meals were

provided and they often stayed in schools that the countries set up for them, though. Three teams from Houston and two other U.S. teams competed in Europe. In Sweden, a total of 32 countries competed in the Gothic Cup Tourney. Erik’s team won its first four games, but didn’t win the tourney. In Finland, Erik’s team didn’t fare so well, but won its game in Denmark. Mike and Nancy Treesh's other two sons, Ryan and Brad, flew to California and visited the Ahrns* other daughter, Judi, while Nancy and Erik were in Europe. After returning from Europe, Nancy and her three boys returned to Milford with her parents for a one week visit. She was later joined by her husband, Mike, who drove to Milford for a one week stay. After he arrived, the Treesh family stayed at his parents’ home, Mr. and Mrs. Glen Treesh in Milford for a week. Mike and Nancy Treesh graduated from Milford High School. Their son Erik was born in Milford. All is quiet again now as the Ahrns are settled in and

the Treesh family is back home in Houston after their eventful travels. THE INSTALLATION of railway lights and protective guards has officially started, according to Conrail officials. Conrail moved equipment into Milford late last week, and started working Monday. The Catherine Street crossing is the first section to be worked on. No word on what street crossing will be next, or how long the project will last has been announced. OBSERVATION: AS the Olympics continue, lights continue to burn in area homes long after they are normally out. Mary Lou Retton, Carl Lewis, Edwin Moses and others have become American heros and the Olympics will live on in the minds of many even after we go back to “normal.” It’s been good to see them waving flags, Jumping for joy over their victories and joining in singing the “Star Spangled Banner” when it’s played. — JRS
