Community Corner

By MARK HUFFMAN Staff Writer For Mijford resident Lisa Hunsberger the “most important thing in life” w.as to get to Europe, and two weeks after a 2’t-month stay in Sweden she’s ready to go again. “It (Sweden) was better then I ever thought it could be,” she says, attributing much of that bliss to her Swedish family. “They bent over backwards for me — they’d do anything.”

Profile

Entering the exchange program “Youth For Understanding," Hunsberger chose Sweden over countries throughout Europe and Africa. “It sounded really neat, I’d seen films of the country and liked what I saw,” she reasons. Leaving the U.S. with 50 other American students, she entered Ahus (located in the southern part of the Scandinavian country) in June, being the only Wawasee student to take part in the program. Having completed a form that matched per sonalities of the host family and exchange students, Hunsberger claims that the majority of the students didn’t enjoy their overseas stay due to "poor matches.” However, the Milford resident couldn’t have been better matched. “There was a girl in the family who was one year older than I and a brother who was 19,” she says, adding, “the other students didn’t have families that matched upwith their ages as well.” While she had several “friendly arguments”

colonial heritage, in particular, historic buildings ano patriotic service. Mrs. Orr is a veteran of World War 11, having served as a ferry command pilot for two years. Accidental deaths BOSTON — Many baby deaths attributed to the mysterious sudden infant death syndrome actually result from suffocation, overbundling and other accidents that are caused by parents' poor judgment, a study concluded recently.

“The first couple of weeks I didn’t eat much," she says, noting that bread and potatoes were "all anyone ate." However, she soon learned to accept thfe starchy diet. \ The country is also known for its ice cream, something that had Hunsberger “eating it every night.” Claiming that she “liked absolutely everything in Sweden,” the American also was afforded the opportunity to travel to Denmark, which “is known throughout the world for red sausages,” while windsurfing also became a favorite pastime. “My brother (in Sweden) was a very good windsurfer so we went quite a bit.” Hunsberger also found that the Swedes were very "Americanized.” “They were telling me things about America that I didn’t even know," she says, adding, "the thing to do over there was ‘go to America.’” ; Hoping that her Swedish sister and brother are allowed to do such in the near future, Hunsberger has kept in contact with the family. “I’ve already gotten four letters and I’ve only been back for two weeks, "-she laughs. Her Milford family, made up of her brother Joshua, nine, and mother and father (Bruce, Vickie), keep her busy in the meantime. Working at her service station the past four years, Hunsberger enjoys the experience it’s provided her. “I enjoy it, I get to meet people and talk to different customers,” she says, adding, “I wouldn't like it if I had to do book work all of the time — the people are what make’s life interesting.” That attitude has the enthusiastic teenager wanting to become a nurse or “someone who has something to do with people” in the future; afterall, she's already experienced the “most important thing in life. ” I

Those present to accept the checks on behalf of their organizations were Dr. David Robinson. Mental Health Association in Kosciusko County Marilyn Curtis, Students Against Drinking Drivers; and William Beemer, chairman of Syracuse Sesquicentennial Committee. John Naab who raised the most money with his group riding for the PTO was not present to receive his check. Others who participated in the event, but not present, were Wawasee High School, Lakeland Daycare Center, Primary Mothers, Lakeland Youth Center and the Sea Scouts. The bike-a-thon is conducted each year by the Rotary Club to raise funds for local charitable organizations. The amount raised is in direct proportion to participation. It is hoped more groups will participate in the coming year to support worthy causes. Harry Bishop introduced the program for the day in which John Sudlow presented a slide show of early Wawasee Days. Sudlow took the group on a picture tour of Lake Wawasee near the turn of the century. Many of the “old timers” commented on their memories of the area. Shown in the photo are David Robison, Marilyn Curtis, William Beemer and Robert Westfall, Rotarv President. (Photo by Col. Joe Gray)
