$5,000 damage — Man chqrged with arson following Campbell's fire

By DEB PATTERSON Staff Writer Anthony Wayne Pollard, 19, 707 E. Pittsburgh St., Syracuse, was officially charged with arson, a class B felony and criminal mischief, a class C felony, Monday, Oct. 21. Bond was set at $5,000. Pollard was arrested and booked in the Kosciusko County Jail Wednesday evening, Oct 16, on preliminary charges of arson and criminal mischief after he allegedly started a fire in an apartment earlier that evening above 105 S. Main Street, Milford. The apartment is above the former location of Campbell’s Market and is in a building owned by Phil Campbell, Milford. Arraignment was Oct. 22, in Kosciusko Circuit Court. A class B felony carries a mandatory 10 years sentence with a minimum of six years and a maximum of 20 years. A class C felony carries a mandatory five years, with a minimum of two years and maximum of eight years. A large number of spectators lined Milford’s Main Street as firemen worked to contain the fire to the one apartment. Neighboring apartments and buildings suffered minimal smoke damage. r Milford Fire Department, which is one block away, was notified at 5:30 p.m. by Mike Nordin, Warsaw, who was driving through town when the flames broke through the apartment window. Several other persons uptown around that time also saw the flames and reported it to the

department also. The fire department responded with three trucks. Approximately 15 men quickly extinguished the fire. Abnormal burn patterns were found when firemen began investigating the cause and the Milford Police Department; Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department; Indiana State Fire Marshal’s office; and Squad 70, the fire investigation team of Kosciusko County, were all called. Through the investigations of all departments involved, it was the conclusion the fire was incendiary. Witnesses told police Pollard was seen at the apartment where he apparently had lived with

Augsburgers home from Greece

Sen. John Augsburger and his wife, Owetfa, recently returned from a two-week vacation during which they visited nine islands in the South of Greece, and spent a week in Athens. The Syracuse couple began their trip on Sept 20. They flew out of Chicago to New York, and then to Athens. When they arrived in Greece, they boarded a 120 ft. yacht with eight other couples, and spent their first week touring the lesser-visited islands in the Aegean Sea. “We wanted to try something different. And it certainly was,” said Augsburger, who said the trip was rewarding because they avoided many of the “touristtraps.” “We had a first-hand look at Grecian life,” he said. “We visited nine islands in seven days. We saw many of the smaller islaityis which tourists don’t

another subject. Police state Pollard apparently had gone back to the apartment to get his belongings. Phil Campbell, owner of the building stated the apartment was vacant at the time of the blaze. Damage has been estimated at $4,000 to the building and SI,OOO to the contents. Officers at the scene were Milford Marshal David Hobbs, Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Officers Tom Brindle and Gerry Moser, and John Krider from the State Fire Marshal’s Office. Any person with information on this arson or any other arson is asked to contact the State Fire Marshal’s Office at 1-800-382-4628

usually get to see. It was quite an experience.” The Augsburgers spent their second week in Athens. What Sen. Augsburger remembers most about Athens is the food. “I was surprised to learn how popular Pizza and Spaghetti are in Greece. They’re both very common there.” he said. Although he and his wife enjoyed many Grecian delicacies, he said there was one thing they won’t miss about the food. “They cook everything in olive oil. After a while, you get kind of tired of it,” Augsburger said. Two Milford men in county jail Doral Eugene Haab, 42, of Milford, was arrested and lodged in the Kosciusko County Jail on October 18. He has been charged with four felony counts for child molesting. These are one count of class B felony, 2 counts of class C felony and one count of class D felony. The charges are for involvement with a 14 year old girl and an 11 year old Michigan girl from mid-August to the date of Haab’s arrest. Circumstances of the case indicate that charges may be filed from other locations outside Kosciusko County. Bail has been set for Haab at $15,000 and his preliminary hearing date will be set in the near future. Cecil Gonzales, 72, Milford was also arrested and lodged in the county jail Tuesday night, October 22. He has been charged with three counts of class C felony for child molesting. No bail or hearing date have been set. Possible jail terms for these felonies are class B, six to 20 years; class C, two t 6 eight years and class D, one to four years with fine possible up to SIO,OOO. Stamp collecting Stamp collecting has been called the “King of Hobbies.” It is certainly among the most popular childhood hobbies, and it might surprise some people that stamp collecting is alive and well among adults. Almost every community in America has at least one stamp club, and an estimated 22 million Americans collect stamps. Collectors typically view the hobby as a wonderful way to be. armchair travelers and to let the imagination soar. They can choose to collect stamps from many countries, although most Americans collect U.S. stamps. Topical collecting, oracquiring stamps of a particular theme, has become increasingly popular. The 1947 Air Mail stamp illustrated in this column, for example, might be common to the collections of people interested in Air Mail stamps, stamps depicting aviation, bridges, rivers, cities or boats. The “King of Hobbies” has also been called the “Hobby of Kings.” King 'George VI of England was an avid stamp collector, and was U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt. Both even took a hand in suggesting designs for their nation’s stamps. Stamp collecting today appeals to a very broad range of people. A typical stamp club will be composed of people of diverse ages and occupations — everything from cab drivers to bank presidents and everyone from eight to 80.

Meals on tight budgets Nutrition need not suffer when a family is on a tight budget. A good balanced diet can be maintained with careful planning and budgeting. Nutrition comes from the four basic food groups. With these in mind the Indiana State Medical Association suggests these guidelines in making the budget go a little further:* Buy foods to make your meals from scratch, buy fresh foods in season, keep purchases of snack foods and soft drinks to a minimum, try to do one-trip food shopping once or twice a week.
