Syracuse budget reviews continue

By GLEN LONG Staff Writer The Syracuse Town Board continued to make a valiant effort last evening to keep town budget increase percentages as low as possible. Faced with the Indiana Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) which states that overtime must be paid to a municipal employee working a workweek of over 40 hours (43 hours for law enforcement and fire protection), the board, after much discussion, approved the police department budget with slight decreases in the wages and gas and oil accounts. The budget, as presented, included provision for an additional full time patrolman and 12 percent increases for the town marshal and sergeant. The board took the position that the total it approved will provide for an additional patrolman and also will allow a 6 percent increase for employees. After all adjustments were made, the police budget totalled $165,352 at an increase of 27.723 percent over the 1985 budget. In order to implement the overtime ruling, Jennifer Lewis, clerk-treasurer, was instructed to contact state, county and Indiana Association of Cities and Towns officials to arrange for someone to assist the town in setting proper manpower scheduling and record keeping, In its review of the general budget the board held the line at a 6 percent wage increase for the clerk-treasurer and stipulated that her wages should now all come from the proper account rather than partially from the clerk’s deputies account and the water and sewage budget as it had since the time when there was a part-time clerk-treasurer. The total for the general

Conscientious objectors

All young men born on or after January 1, 1960, are required to register for Selective Service, including those who would be likely to qualify for classification as conscientious objectors. Because there is no draft, Selective Service does not classify registrants at this time. If classification actions are resumed at some future date, a registrant who has been ordered for induction will be given an opportunity at that time to make a claim for classification as a conscientious objector. Receipt of such a claim by Selective Service would postpone the man’s induction while the claim was being adjudicated. In order to qualify for classification as a conscientious objector, a person must be conscientiously opposed to participation in all wars. (The principle of selective objection to a particular was was refuted by the Supreme Court in 1971.) Beliefs must be religious, moral or ethical in nature, as opposed to beliefs based solely on politics, expediency or self-interest.

A person’s objection to war may be based on strictly religious beliefs, or on personal beliefs that are purely ethical or moral in source or content and occupy in the person’s life a place parallel to that fulfilled by belief in a Supreme Being for those holding more traditional religious views. A conscientious objector is not required to be a member of a church or any organization which opposes war. A conscientious objector is not relieved of the obligation to serve. There are two types of service which may be performed, depending upon the individual’s specific beliefs.

budget, after changes, is $228,633. This is an increase of 3.01 percent over the 1985 budget. I The park board budget was approved with a total of $10,394, > which is an increase of 5.011 percent over 1985. Several accounts decreased due to an increase in contractual mowing rather than having it done by park department employees. Account 443, playground equipment, has $2,550 budgeted for 1986 with no specific items defined. I Kip Schumm reported that $15,000 in donations have been received to pay for the new shelter at Lakeside Park. Thi also allows for purchase of picnic tables which have been ordered. j Rental fees for use of the shelter will go into a building upkeep fund. Other Business I The clerk-treasurer informed the board of the need-to set up a lease/rental account to be used I for payments on the new town hall construction, the board voted to implement this with 22 cents per SIOO of assessed valuation from the cumulative capital improvement fund. This will leave 3 cents per SIOO in that fund. I Lewis also suggested that a ; time clock for town employees be installed at the new town hall when it is completed. She says it will be needed to properly implement overtime procedures. The board tabled this subject until its ■ next meeting. The board voted unanimously to include wages for Warren Swartz, resigned town marshal, on one more pay period. Carl Myrick, board president and police liaison member was given board approval to say that the salary for town marshal is negotiable above the existing $17,971 total when interviewing prospective employees. The Syracuse Town Board will meet in executive session to make some personnel decisions after its regular monthly meeting ' 'which will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 16.

The person whose beliefs allow him to serve in the armed forces in a noncombatant capacity becomes a member of the armed forces, but does not receive any training in the use of weapons. Many of these people would serve in the medical corps.

Wawasee School Board asks 50$ cumulative fund

(Continued from page 1) presentation. In addition, Wysong noted that the Wawasee vocational programs are run in cooperation with the West Noble and Fairfield corporations. In all, there are nine different programs within the vocational agenda. They are: Auto mechanics, farm mechanics, graphic arts, general home economics, office education laboratory, co-op on the job training, agriculture, cosmetology and building trades. “All of these programs have classes to provide the basics,” Wysong said. He also noted that Wawasee, Fairfield and West Noble vocational students interchange places'to go to class since the program is on a cooperational basis. In addition, Wysong said that vocational education is not just for students who plan to stop formal education after high school. The programs are statefunded, except for many of the night courses. Another growing program within the corporation is the expansion of computers. Larry Pletcher, who made the tion, said 110 computers are availablle for classroom use. Also, 36 additional computers were purchased this past school year by Pletcher’s account. Furthermore, computer literacy courses are being added. Sixth graders within the corporation will most likely take this course since students are required to do so at some time in their schooling. As far as goals are concerned, Pletcher said that the corporation aims to add more computers to the elementary schools as well as enlarging junior high labs and networking systems for more efficiency. “After next year, we should have ample computer facilities,” said Webster. “After that, it’s a matter of taking care of what we have and adding to what we have when the need arises.” School Maintenance The board established an overall building fund of $40,000 for renovation of North Webster Schools. Cost was estimated at $37,000, but Webster suggested a “coverall” figure for ample payment. Renovation at Syracuse Junior High is another concern. Webster said the E.I. Brown Architectual

Firm performed a study of needed physical improvements. Results of that study will be reviewed by board members for the next month. By the August meeting, the matter will be discussed in detail, according to Webster. Pilot Project The unanimously affirmed the continuation of the Readiness Classroom Pilot Project. This program takes place between kindergarten and first grade, making it possible for students to catch up on work if their status is less than firm for further grade advancement. “A program like this is better to have,” Webster said. “It beats failing a student when ground can be made up. The results of this often show in higher grades.” Band Takes Honors Instructional Services Director, Dr. Howard Hull announced that the Wawasee High School Marching Band took two first place trophies. The first one was earned at the Mermaid Festival in North Webster while the most recent was won at the Ethnic Festival in South Bend. Webster remeinded board members as well as those in public attendance that applications for Principal of Wawasee High School will be reviewed by a screening committee. By July 18, the committee hopes to select four to six candidates. From there, interviews will be scheduled. Two on ’ dean's list Elaine Marie Karesh, 712 South Lake St., Syracuse, and Tina Sue Pfeiffer, r 7 Warsaw, were named to the Indiana State University dean’s list for the 1985 spring semester. The list contains the names of 496 students who received academic distinction. Grades at ISU are computed on a 4.0 scale and honor students are those who earned a grade point average of 3.75 or higher. The honor listing is prepared for students carrying 12 or more semester hours. It does not include students who are engaged in student teaching during the semester.
