International opportunities for 4-H club members \
«y RONALD W. HOYT Extension Agent, 4-H and Youth The Kosciusko County 4-H club program has had a rich history in the area of international 4-H opportunities for our members. The 4-H families from Kosciusko County have hosted young people from Germany, Italy, The Netherlands and Japan in the last few years. Additionally, Kosciusko County 4-H’ers have visited Switzerland, China, Japan and the Dominican Republic in just the past three years. The 4-H members throughout Indiana will again have the opportunity to visit Japan on a fourweek home stay this summer, as part of the Indiana 4-H Labo International Exchange Program.
Pierceton industrial park enhances development
By DEBORAH A. WIGGINS Executive Vice President Greater Warsaw Chamber of Commerce/KDI Industrial development is a major economic base provider to any community’s overall development. In 1986, Kosciusko County will be able to better compete with surrounding towns in the attraction of new industry and in the ability to provide expansion opportunities to existing firms. In 1985, through the efforts of Leon Kubacki, Bill .Warren, and Dana Krull, the town of Pierceton was gifted with a 72-acre site by Mrs. Ghean Arnolt to be used for Pierceton’s industrial development. Since that time the town has gotten this parcel of ground rezoned from agricultural to industrial and has had it annexed into the corporate limits. Through the efforts of the Q. Why is my SSI case reviewed so often? A. SSI is a program based on need. The amount you receive is based on your income, such as social security, veterans benefits, and also any food, shelter or clothing/you may be receiving from another person. Where you live and who you live with can also affect your payment. Since things change so often, we need to review cases often to make sure we’re paying you correctly. Q. I get SSI checks and was told to report changes. I sold my old car since I can’t drive any more. Will this stop my checks? A. Probably not but you should report the sale. The money you got for your car isn’t counted as income but if you keep it and your total cash on hand or in the bank goes over $1,700, you won’t be due any SSI.

Indiana 4-H youths, ages 12-19, are eligible for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This international exchange program goffers 4-H members an opportunity to learn how other people live~by actually living in their pomes, learning to appreciate another country’s culture and tradition, and to gain a better understanding of themselves and our own culture and have an exciting summer in Japan. The total cost is $2,100. This includes roundtrip airfare from Indianapolis International Airport to Tokyo’s Narita International Airport. A three-month course of orientation materials, Japanese language study materials, a three-day orientation program in
county’s development corporation, Kosciusko Development, Inc. (KDI), this parcel of property will be marketed to potential new industries looking at the area as a possible location site. Also, this property will provide an additional opportunity for existing firms to consider in expansion planning. Not only wfll the KDI help market this property, but KDI will also act as the park developer for this parcel of ground. This is being done through the option that was entered into between tbe town of Pierceton and the Kosciusko Development, Inc. KDI will continue with and expand upon what the town board has already completed on the site analysis. Road development, grading, and utility expansion will take place in 1986. This site, which includes 72 acres of industrially zoned property, has direct access onto US 30, and will also have sewage, water and rail for the industries that locate within it. The town of Pierceton, with the aid of KDI and the town’s attorney, Jim Walmer, and the KDI attorney, Tom Earhart, helped develop the protective covenants. These will help to ensure that the quality industry be maintained within Kosciusko County. Additionally, the covenants will enable the price of acreage and the quality of the entire park to be maintained over a long period of time. Throughout 1985, the Chamber/KDI has worked with over 55 industrial prospects considering Kosciusko County as a possible location. One of the major stumbling blocks to locating a firm here was the unavailability of properly zoned, easily accessible, and municipally serviced sites. With the development of the Pierceton industrial park, it appears that Kosciusko County will now be in direct competition with the towns of Columbia City and Plymouth who appear to be the major competitors in this vicinity. Because this property was donated to the town of Pierceton, the Pierceton industrial park will be even more marketable than the property in the competing towns. Through the marketing efforts of the KDI/Chamber, it is hoped ’ that at least one new industry will be located in this park in 1986. *

Another Christmas has come and gone. This year all wishes for a white Christmas were fulfilled but it’s doubtful that anyone was wishing for such cold temperatures. The cat made it through Christmas with a minimum of difficulty. She was served an extra helping of her favorite food for Christmas dinner and she didn’t once upset the tree.

She did try to take a nap in the nativity scene and spent considerable time investigating a life-size ceramic cat that Hubby got for Christmas.

Since the ceiling at the old Bible Christian Church building collapsed a few weeks ago the congregation as been meeting at the McFadden home on Armstrong Road. When Sam was put out doors while services were in progress he barked and complained. The McFaddens tried confining him to another room but Sam wasn’t satisfied So, they removed his collar so the tags wouldn’t jingle and permitted him in the room where the services are being held. Sam quickly finds a lap to sin on and is as happy as can be. During the services on Sunday, Dec. 22, the puppet stage (for Hand Puppets) was put up and the Bible Christian Church puppeteers started to present their program. Sam started to growl. He approached the puppet stage.

The children are now old enough tha: we no longer get requests for lail polish that glows in the dark, mad scientist chemistry sets, etc., at Christmas time. It makes shopping much easier. It is also easier on the nerves. This reporter can recall an o?casion when Son was invited to a friend’s house to play. They started messing around with the older brother’s

chemistry set and got a fire started in the basement. No damages were done except Ho parents’ nerves and the backsides of two repentant youngsters. This reporter had thought about making some New Year’s resolutions but so far hasn’t come up with anything profound. I am going to try to get my work schedule organized. I am also going to get rid of things that clutter up the house and are never used. If Hubby has made any resolutions he is keeping them to himself. This reporter does her best, every year, to ignore January and February. It doesn’t cause spring to come any sooner but it helps. Hubby is always telling me, “Get out and enjoy the seasons. Put on some warm clothing and go sledding or ice skating." Well, I did get some ice skates and I got all bundled up and ventured down by the lake. The ice was nice and smooth and by locking my knees together and walking on the insides of my ankles I managed to get out on the lake. I got up on the skates and the wind started to

blow me around in a circle about three feet in diameter. I had on so many heavy clothes I could only sland stiff-legged and I kept going around and around in a circle. After several attempts to remove myself from orbit failed I dropped o the ipe and crawled back to shore on my hands and knees. So much for ice skating. Hubby talked me into climbing onto a sled with him one beautiful s nowy day when we were visiting relatives at Indianapolis. The children had been sledding for hours and were having a wonderful time. We started down a long sloping hill and the sled was picking up speed, suddenly we veered off the path and the sled struck something buried in the snow and we came to a sudden stop. This reporter was launched into the air right over Hubby’s head and landed flat on her back in a big snow drift several feet out in front of the sled. We had hit a fire hydrant buried in the snow. I was stiff and sore for days. So much for sledding. I’ll just continue to do my best to ignore January and February. It won’t cause spring to come any sooner but iL’s a lot safer.
