Adult classes set for spring

By RICHARD M. WYSONG Director, Wawasee Area Vocational Cooperative Adult education in the school is a direct service to the taxpayer. It serves young and old alike. During the past year, many people in the community were served by recreation or trade related classes. Again, a wide variety of classes are offered this spring to include a few new classes. This spring, classes will be held at Wawasee High School, Milford Elementary, North Webster Elementary, West Noble High School, and in businesses as appropriate. There is a choice of location for the popular computer classes. All adults are invited to participate. The spring classes will begin the first week of March and run as designated for each class. No classes are held when school is closed for any reason. In this event, a class is extended for the number of sessions missed. Veterinarians accepted into IVM academy Drs. Wesley J. Zehr, Milford, and Richard Brungardt, Syracuse, are among veterinarians who have been accepted into the membership of the Indiana Academy of Veterinary Medicine. This honor will be bestowed at the 102nd annual Indiana Veterinary Medical Association convention being held today through Friday, Feb. 7, at the Hyatt Regency, Indianapolis. A total of 168 veterinarians will be accepted into the Academy, with membership based on satisfactory completion of Continuing education requirements. To qualify for this honor, a veterinarian must combine a variety of activities outside of the practice to acquire the latest in medical knowledge. This continuing education, in part, can mean attending scientific meetings and observing practice methods of colleagues as well as working with them in journal clubs and study groups. Mitchell is seminar leader Sue Ann Mitchell, deputy assessor for Tippecanoe Township, was among the seminar leaders at the Indiana Township Association two day seminar recently in Indianapolis. The seminar was to train new area directors for the state trustee’s organization. Mrs. Mitchell is the author of the Indiana Township Association Assessors Personal Property Handbook. She presented an overview of assessing to the board members. Mitchell reported to the board that a fair and equal assessment throughout the state must be a common goal for all trustee/assessors in each county. She stressed continuing education for all trustee/assessors since they are the backbone of the taxing structure for not only their own township, but also counties, libraries and school corporations. The ITA is dedicated to education of all trustee/assessors. Dick Mitchell, Tippecanoe Township Trustee, was also in attendance at the meetings. Legislation of interest to township government was discussed at great length. Many pending bills in the legislature could greatly help township governments faced with the tax freeze and rising costs of services. Seminar leaders included former Indiana House Speaker Phillip Bainbridge, legislative council to the association; David Bills, Indiana Department of Fire Prevention and building safety; Sherwood Versteeg, ITA public relations consultant; Cy Gerde, ITA legal council. Jim Burkhardt, Crawfordsville, president, was joined by the following board members at the seminar: Jack Reno, New Castle, vice president; Linda Johnson, Fountaintown, secretary; Carol Frantz, Lafayette, treasurer; John E. McWilliams, Gary, advisory board representative. Also present were the following area directors: Richard Dombrowski, South Bend; Joe Stewart, Wabash; Robert Cline, Mooreland; Bill Garvey, Indianapolis; Joe Meyer, Sellersburg; Dave Layton, CrawfordsviUe.

Carlson, president of First National Bank of Warsaw, and Tom Irmscher, president of Irmscher and Sons, Inc., joint owners of the Murphy Medical Center property, and reached an agreement that the asking price will be reduced 46 percent from $650,000 to $350,000. The owners plan to make an all-out effort to dispose of and find a positive use for the property in 1986. Carlson and Plank commended Irmscher in this decision since his company will be taking the majority of any loss from a sale. The bank has already recovered the majority of its investment. Both the City of Warsaw and the Greater Warsaw Chamber of Commerce have assured the owners they will assist in any way possible the finding of a new owner who will put the property to a productive use. The property includes the old Murphy Medical Center building, the church, the new construction * on Lake Street, and a paved parking lot on the west side of Lake Street. Tax abatement on the improvements has already been approved by the city, which, along with the reduced price, should make the property more attractive for purchase and development, according to those involved. Irmscher and bank officials said they plan to recontact the over 50 prospects they have been in touch with over the past year concerning the lower price. Both are optimistic that a sale will be completed this year, and that with extensive refurbishing, the property can become productive again and return as a positive influence on the entire community. Pictured discussing the project,, left to right, are: Tom Irmscher, Mayor Jeff Plank, Rick Snodgrass, and Neal M. Carlson.
