I A ■ NICE KITTY — When Eddie Overmyer of North Webster made an appointment to bring his kitty in to the Smail Animal Clinic in Milford, one could image the surprise on Dr. Zehr’s face when he saw what was in the back of Overmyer’s truck when it pulled up. Dr. Zehr soon learned that the cat he was to see was one riding in the front of the truck and not the one in the back. The mountain lion was one that Overmyer got while hunting in Texas last season. The 190-pound cat was recently shipped by freight from Texas, where had been preserved. I The lion, pictured with Overmyer, is on its way to become part of the window display at a spor- « ting goods shop in North W ebster. which is being decorated for the hunting season.

Environmental assessment completed
According to Major General Carl G. Farrell, Indiana ARNG, the Adjutant General, an environmental assessment, which is required by law. has recentlybeen completed, concerning the proposed Indiana Army National Guard aviation facility in Kosciusko County. The National Guard Bureau in Washington, D.C. will review this documept for completeness and accuracy of data, before returning it to the adjutant general s - ndianapolis. Once the document is received from the National Guard Bureau, it will be available for the public to review for two weeks. Citizens will then be notified through the newspapers and various organizations. At the end of the two-week period, a public hearing will be held At that time, anyone who objects or anyone in favor of the document, will have the opportunity to present evidence to be included with the assessment. The environmental assessment will then be returned to the bureau for final determination. The decision for approval or disapproval is made at that time. Until all of these steps are accomplished, the project continues to be a proposal Members of Farrells staff [ have been talking to groups of individuals as requested. At each of these meetings, it has been stated that a public hearing will be held If there are other groups, comf munity associations, lake > associations or just concerned t citizens who would like to invite a staff .person to speak to this issue.
should do so. The staff is committed in speaking to any such group requesting so. Company C, 2nd Battalion 151 Infantry has been moved to another city — South Bend, with its parent headquarters. This action is not an indication that the proposal will go through. It only indicates that there is now a National Guard Armory with no unit. If the aviation facility is not approved, another unit will be sought to be put in the armory in the future. It is agreed that the helicopters do make noise; however, the noise is brief. A person would not be subjected to high noise levels for long periods of time. At the request of several lake associations and citizens, helicopters “crisscrossed” the county, so residents could “hear” the noise the helicopters do make. It should be noted helicopters will not be flying criss-cross patterns over Kosciusko County. Many areas, primarily the eastern quadrants, will rarely, if ever, have a helicopters flying over. All current, established flying patterns in and out of the airport, must be abided with, just like any other aircraft? It is inconceivable that there would ever be 23 helicopters in the air at one time. The required scheduled maintenance alone prevents that, not to mention routine repairs. It would be a rare occasion to have more than two or three aircraft in the air at one time. Farrell stated that his staff has investigated countless allega-
tions to ensure that “no stone is left unturned.” New construction technologies available have been investigated to ensure the natural environment is not harmed. Many concerned citizens have raised valid issues and the assistance has been appreciated from the local environmental groups, and local residents who have provided valuable data for the research. The National Guard is a community-oriented organization. It cannot exist without the support of the community, and in turn, it exists to support the community. Farrell feels the objections do not center on the organization, but more on the complexity of the type of unit involved. His staff will continue to work with the Kosciusko County community to resolve this issue, and will meet with any group until a hearing date is set.

Wilsons return from Australia
Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wilson, r 2, Milford, have returned home after a month’s vacation to the “Land Down Under.” After two days in Tahati, they flew to Sydney, Australia. Because the seasons are reversed there, spring was coming into full bloom. Some of the highlights there were the Opera House, the Sydney Tower, the Captain Cook Harbor cruise, having dinner with a local family, petting a koala bear, and feeding the kangaroo. Much renovation is taking place around the Rocks' area as the sesquicentennial will be celebrated there in 1988. In Canberra, the capital of Australia, the Wilsons visited me parliament building, a wax memorial and enjoyed a\ barbecue at a working sheep station. Melbourne still uses trams and the people there are proud of them. The Fitzroy Gardens was a beautiful sight to see. The couple took a bus to Phillip Island to watch the fairy penguins come in at dusk. The penguins were like a “bunch of kids,” romping in the surf. After 15 minutes, the penguins made their way to their boroughs. The Wilsons then boarded a plane — this time their destination was Ayers Rock in the outback. The desert was blooming for the first time in 10 years because of the recent rains. Ayers Rock is the largest monolith in the world — rising more than 1,000 feet, is over two miles in length, and more than one-mile mile in width. It changes color often during sunset. Nearly 200 people attempt to climb it during a day — half of them succeed. The Olgas, a series of 54-domed rocks, are also spectacular While at Alice Springs, the Wilsons viewed “Panorama Guth” —a huge circular painting by Dutch-born, local artist Henk Guth. It depicts scenes of Central Australia. The Great Barrier Reef, which extends 1.250 miles along Australia’s northeast coast. The temperatures were tropical at

Cairns. The launch, the M V Quicksilver, took the Wilsons 30 miles out to the reef to view the coral and have a day of fun in the sun. The next day, a scenic rail excursion was taken to the Atherton Tablelands and a return trip back taken by bus through this rich agricultural region. At Bresbane, the couple was fortunate to get to see and hear the Royal Australian Naval Band. The next flight took the Wilsons to Christchurch, New Zealand, the most English city “down under.” They arrived in time to walk through the botanical gardens and have afternoon tea —a custom observed daily there. A walking tour of the city included taking the 136 steps to the top of the bell tower of the Cathedral of Christ. The Wilsons then joined the Guthrey’s Coach Tour which took them across the farmlands of the Canterbury Plains, into the rugged MacKinzie country and Mount Cook, New Zealand’s highest peak. Snow still covered the mountain tops and skiers were still enjoying the sport because of recent snows. After leaving the grandeur of Mount Cook and descending into Waitaki Basin, the couple was able to view the Benmore and Aviemore Dams and man-made lakes that produce the electricity for the South Island and even part of the North Island. Dunedin, the Edinburgh of the South was one of the overnight’s destinations. While on route to Te Anau, the Wilsons passed by hills and pastures of grazing sheep. They noted that there are 13 million sheep here — many more sheep than people. They cruised Milford Sound, a deep fiord (1,200 feet), carved by the glaciers and walled-in by massive rock formations. More magnificent country passed before them as the road follows the Remarkables into Queenstown, a tourist town of 2,000 people that swells to 20,000 during its peak season.

and dairy industry was interesting. The Wilsons took the gondola ride to Lookout Point for an incomparable view of the area. The most exciting experience was the jet boat ride on the Shotover River At Rotorua, the discovery was made of the wonders of this unique area: the Whakarewarewa Thermal Reserve with its geysers, boiling mud pools and hot springs; the fascinating Maori Village; and the famous Rainbow Trout Springs. The next stop was Fiji. A tour of Orchid Island gave an insight into the island's culture, as did a tour of Suva. On the last day, the Wilsons enjoyed the Regent of Fiji and all it had to offer before winging their way back to San Francisco and on home to Milford.
