Warriors gear up for sectional

By MARK WEINSTEIN All season long, Wawasee’s Warrior boys’ basketball team has played the role of underdog. That role will be no different next week when it enters the Triton Sectional. The Warriors, despite the role, have had an outstanding season. Going into the final week of the season, John Wysong’s players have accumulated a respectable 12-7 record, far better than many people, even Wysong, had expected. “Going into the season, we were concerned about the season,” said Wysong. “We W- only had two players coming back from the varsity team and a lot more inexperience.” But Wysong’s worries never really panned out. Under the fourth-year W Wawasee coach, the Warriors have turned out to be one of the area’s better teams. They are not world beaters, but they are hard to beat. “We have really be prepared and play with great intensity,’’ said Wysong. “We know that we IB don’t have the greatest talent, so we have to make up for it in another way.” ||| Wawasee’s way is determination, hustle, hard work . and pride. Brooks Koble, who averages 25 points a game, is the leader on*the Warrior squad. He can do everything, which helps the younger and more inexperienced players perform. “Brooks is one of the better basketball players to play at Wawasee,” said Wysong. “He is very ® talented and this year is looked to do an awful lot.” During this campaign, KoO ble has served as point guard, at times, power forward, small forward, and even center. He has great mobility and seems to create problems all by himself for the opposition. But Wawasee is not a one W man show. The Warriors, ac-

chores, he also draws the opponents top offensive player. That alone is a credit to the scrappy guard. From here, Wawasee is inexperienced in post-season play. Os the remaining starters, no player has seen much, if any, playing time in a sectional. John Hapner, delegated to the junior varsity team last season, has turned out to be a pleasant surprise for Wysong and the Warriors. He has turned out to be the leading rebounder on the squad this season, and lately, has turned into a scorer. “John has done a very fine job for us this season, more so than what I expected of him,” said Wysong. “He has" improved greatly over the season, and has become a nice player. * From this point, Wysong’s starters become questionable.

David Kistler, i John Jones, Jon Evans and ! Bill Hutchinson have all seen action as a starter. Kistler , has the ability to score, t whenever he wants, or feels > his confidence is high ’ enough. The same can be said about Evans, who as an ; underclassmen possesses a j great deal of talent. Both Jones and Hutchinson moved into the area this past summer, and they have ! proved to be a great help to ; the Wawasee program. Jones is a leaper, often " times going to a block shot or high rebound. Hutchinson is not that type of player, although he is scrappy and can play aggressively on defense. “In all, I am pleased with our team,” said Wysong. “They have worked hard all season, and we are looking forward to the sectional.” Although Wysong admits his team will be ready for the post-season action, he suggests some concern over the tournament draw. “I never say whether I like or dislike a tournament draw,” said Wysong. “I see advantages and disadvantages in this one.” The biggest drawback that Wysong cited was the fact that his team does not know whom they will be playing. The Warriors face the winner of the Triton-Rochester game. ‘We are preparing for every team in the tournament,” declared Wysong. “There’s a chance that we could face almost every team, or only one. Because of this, we will prepare for everyone.” Wysong is hoping his team comes off its final regular season game against Bremen in high gear. To take that a little further, he is hoping to claim the sectional crown, just like his team did a few years ago.

Who can? It used to be that a man who saved his money was a miser — nowaday’s he’s a wonder.

Humanly speaking —

Strenuous movement

By DAVID L. ROGERS Director Os Community Services So many people are talking about “exercise” these days, and many people are doing “exercises”. Why the focus on strenuous movement? It’s important to recognize that everything in us is moving! The heart pumps, blood flows, lungs expand and contract, eyes roll, eardrums vibrate, fingers move, legs shift position. To be alive is to be moving. When we stop movement we create various kinds of illness. Stop enough movement and persons die. To be the most healthy person is to move and to exercise. In the book “Stalking the Wild Pendulum,” Itzhak Bentov takes us on a journey inside the human body. We find ourselves in a sea of atoms. They move in unison and in beautiful rhythm. When we get inside the atom we find that everything is in a constant, very rapid, but very orderly motion. Because of this movement everything is changing from moment to moment. Stopping the movement therefore is stopping change. The moving body freely channels the energy of life. If one were to close his or her eyes and imagine a person at the top of health the vision would probably be a “rosy cheeked complexion, a trim and beautiful body in motion — running, or jumping with arms reaching out, or making love, or dancing.” As someone h? c said dancing is a great metaphor for living in harmony with the whole universe. The person dancing is a person “at one” with the universe. “The person dancing is fully alive”. Without movement one has no dance, no work and no play either. Movement changes both the inner and the outer world. Exercise is some intentional movement. Since the industrial revolution has changed human activities so radically it is essential to raise consciousness and increase awareness in terms of the value of exercise for the mental, emotional and physical well being of people. Work so often involves sitting long hours at a desk or in a automobile, standing behind a counter or at an assembly line, or spending long hours in classes or in meetings. These are tedious and often stressful. How easy it is to “jump in the car” to travel two or three blocks rather than walking! How easy it is to be a spectator at an athletic or artistic presentation p than it is to engage in some experience first hand even though one may be far from expert. Exercise offers an outlet for stress and tension, helps in ridding us of unwanted pounds, lowers blood sugar, burns up calories. There are three major types of exercise. The first is cardiovascular which stimulates heart and lungs and builds endurance. The second is flexibility which lengthens, stretches and flexs muscles and enhances balance and overall grace. The third is strength developing such as weight training. There is some overlapping of all three. Increasing heart and breathing rates greatly stems the flow of oxygen and blood to all parts of the body. The pulse rate must be raised to an acceptable level and kept there for 10 to 15 minutes. Examples are bicycling, running or jogging, swimming, jumping rope, vigorous walking. Such exercise strengthens heart and lung muscles, burns up fat, improves the utilization of food, increases energy and stamina, provides more restful sleep, lessens depression and nervous tension. It can also improve ones ap-

pearance, ones self-image and outlook on life. Some cautions: Check your general health and don’t be in a big hurry. Recognize that regularity (for instance three or four times a week) is necessary to have an effect that is positive. To become more flexible and to strengthen muscles an exercise such as yoga is tremendously helpful. The focus is on breathing (inhaling deeply and exhaling freely), assuming different postures and then exercising leg and arm and body muscles. This gives the muscles more firmness, helps in shedding some pounds and enables the body to function more at ease. These movements also remind one of the personal power that he or she has in setting a regular program of exercise and in caring for self. They can help clear the mind of some of the regular ordinary experiences of every day, can free the emotion of some of the tensions of responsibilities of family or work or study or the “world situation”. From many sources the message comes “you can care for your body and do much to keep it well”. Part of this is exercise or regular intense movement. One begins with the first step: do it! then find something that is fun, that is not painful (for very long), that affects breathing and heartbeat, that respects mind and body and spirit, that enables one to feel good about self.

Alley vacation request | brings remonstrators j

The request by Eugene Himelick to vacate an alley in North Webster, which serves as the only access to his home, brought remonstrators to last Wednesday evening’s North Webster Town Board meeting. Remarks by John Peperak concerning the Department of Natural Resources’s jurisdiction on the matter raised questions and were corrected by Steve Snyder, Himelick’s attorney. Peperak, property owner of a home on Stanley Street and located directly across from the alley, stated he was told by a DNR official, the department had the final say in the vacation. Peperak also stated he was told when he purchased the property almost nine years ago the alley was his easement to the lake for his property. This was challenged by Snyder. Victor Wenning, assistant chief for the DNR’s Division of Water regulations branch, stated the DNR has certain police powers of jurisdiction concerning property ownerships, but these include lake laws such as the shoreline lakeward and the DNR would have no jurisdiction on an alley abutting the lake. The definition of a shoreline is any land adjacent to the lake reaching a level below 820 feet. If any area touching the lake’s shores, water or not, and is below 820 feet, it is considered a shoreline and not private property. However, if a piece of property is below 820 feet but not facing the lakefront, it is not shoreline. Wenning defined an access as being open to use by all citizens of the state. The DNR encourages access points around all lake, with the local government being encouraged to maintain the accesses. He added the DNR buys property for public access and these properties are marked as such. “We cannot tell a county ... if it can vacate or not, it’s its jurisdiction,” commented Wenning. He found there are no public accesses on Webster Lake. Peperak noted during the meeting, Warner addition has the same layout as other housing developments around the lakes throughout the state and all have lake access. Wenning commented it is up to the developer how the addition is laid out and a number of them follow each other. Existing road easements are used for access so back lot residents have access to the lake. Beth Miner of the Kosciusko County Auditor’s office reported Peperak’s deed for his property on Stanley Street does not state he has an easement. She did find there is a 20-foot easement to the south of his one lakefront lot. The original plate for the addition was also looked at to see how the alley was plated, there it showed it as an alley with no other purpose but to provide away to get to lots three, four and five, now owned by Himelick. Realtors Views Several North Webster and Syracuse realtors were contacted concerning Peperak’s statement of when he purchased the house he was told of the easement. All realtors contacted stated if it was his easement, the deed would

specify it as such. However, the deed may say an ingress and egress easement only allowing the owner the right to physically go in and out of the water through this easement, not to build a pier or dock a boat. The definition of an easement is permission to go across another persons property. An alley is a street belonging, to the municipality, in this case the town. If the property has an easement, the realtors also stated it should show up in the property’s title and the owner can easily have a title search made to clarify the matter. The realtors stated that just because a person buys a house across the street from the lake doesn’t necessarily guarantee him access to the lake. Chuck Bowers, county surveyor, commented he located the existing alley, at that location, for town officials and found the buried iron pipes on the north and south side of the alley marking it. Peperak also made a comment / concerning the county commissioner’s overruling the town board’s decision. Because the alley is in the towiTTimits the commissioners would have no jurisdiction on a ruling and the final say would be the town •_ board’s.
