NIPSCO reports lower operating income in 1986
For the three, nine, and 12-month periods ended September 30, net income and earnings per average share outstanding were lower com pared to the corresponding periods a year ago. Losses were recorded in all three periods, reflecting the payment of $193.6 million ($100.4 million net of tax or $1.37 per share) in September to satisfy the Carbon County judgment. Excluding the effects of Carbon County, results were unfavorable because of lower energy demand in the industrial sector, part of which resulted from the strike at USX Corporation (formerly United States Steel Corporation). For the three months, industrial electric sales fell 14 percent and industrial gas deliveries dropped 21 percent from 1985; for nine months the comparable numbers were a seven percent decline in electric sales and a 12 percent decline in gas deliveries , for 12 months, industrial electric sales were off four percent and industrial gas deliveries were down nine percent. Natural gas distributed, which
With this grant received, the town will need to fund $702,000 as its share of the total sewer project cost of $3,756,000. The remaining 75 perpent has been applied for from the Environmental Protection Agency. Dock reported that Syracuse has advanced to number eight in line for consideration for this funding.

Kilowatt-hour electric sales were down 9.4. 4.9. and 3.2 percent for the three, nine, and 12-month periods, respectively, mianly due to decreased industrial and REMC requirements.

DON SHUTTLEWORTH, North Webster tree trimmer, is shown with the 39-inch diameter tree he felled last week in the Milford back yard of Ruth Hoppus. To help keep it from falling on the garage, he had trimmed the tree down to the main trunk. The stump will be chipped out to make room for next year’s garden. PERSONS WHO were up at sunrise on Monday were treated to one of God’s great paintings. The first heavy frost of the season made the landscape in the countryside around this northern Indiana community a scene to behold. | —o— ON NOVEMBER 8, Wawasee High School senior Debra Schafer will be giving a presentation in Louisville, Ky. It will be entitled “Laminitis: an inflammation in the hoof walls of a horse?’ She won a trip this fall to Washington, D C., with her presentation in a 4-H achievement contest, sponsored by the National Future Farmers of America. Schafer is a member of the National Honor Society, vicepresident of the speech club, and is quite active in 4-H and FFA with her horses, beef cattle and hogs. She is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs, A. G. Schafer of r 5 box 73. Syracuse, and plans to major in pre-vet or pre-med after graduation. KjgMKgSF - S '£■ - kTIW WHILE CAMPAIGNING through the county. Republican incumbent Dan Quayle stopped in Milford on Thursday. Oct. 30. to gain some last minute votes. Senator Quayle, who won reelection on Tuesday, posed for a picture outside of The MailJournal office. GREG AND ROXANNE Wireman are currently living at the Waubee Lakeside Park and are the new caretakers of the park. They replace Randy and Cindy Veach who purchased a home and moved into Milford late last summer. THE LATEST check shows a total of $11,483 has been donated to the Milford Library Fund for the current remodeling project. That’s great but additional donations are needed to reach the $15,000 goal set by the Friends of the Library. A NUMBER of Chore-Time emplovees who know Paul and Sue Lechlitner were surprised the other day to hear Sue Lechlitner paged over the plant's
intercom system. After all, Sue Lechlitner works at Barth’s. What they had temporarily forgotten was the fact that on October 25 Sue Mitchell became the bride of Dennis Lechlitner, the son of Paul and Sue, thus becoming the second Sue Lechlitner in the family. Mrs. Dennis Lechlitner is an employee of Chore-Time, thus the page. ANOTHER NOTE from Berniece Dwyer on our 50th state follows: “The travel literature states that Hawaii is a tropical paradise. This is no exaggeration. The streets, highways, and beaches are lined with palms, flowering shrubs, and trees which are indigenous to the tropics. Little wonder that over four million people are going annually from every country of the world. The sun shines practically every day and the air is soft, blown by trade winds of 15 to 25 miles per hour. During October, the average temperature was 87 degrees. The showers came at night with an occasional drizzle during the day — never enough to force one to pick his things up from the beach and seek shelter. “While there are a number of historic and cultural places to visit, it is the beaches which attract thousands of people. On the island of Oahu alone there are 21 major beaches to which publicbus transportation is available seven days a week. On weekends and holidays, the Bench Bus runs every hour from Waikiki. “These do not include miles and mile of beaches along the highways accessible by private car. and AU are free. Indiana could learn a great deal from Hawaii in making its best beaches available to the public. “The transparent turquoise water is body temperature: the because are white sand sometimes set in a cove with mountains as the back drop, and always some distance out the surf breaks into white water against a reef. The beauty is so overwhelming that one cannot take it all in. * “In giving directions on the island, north, south, east or west are rarely used. Hawaiian words have been substituted and are easily interpreted — makai means toward the ocean, mauka means toward the mountains, ewa means toward the far end of the island where the Ewa plantation is located, west of Honolulu, and Diamond Head means toward that volcanic landmark. An account in the paper stated that a small truck went off the makai side of Kamehameha Highway? This is the side of the highway toward the ocean. Mauka showers are those coming from the mountain side of the island.

“The five hours’ time difference results in hearing the Chicago Bears at 6:45 a.m. Sunday morning and seeing President Reagan in his oval office speaking on the summit at 2 in the afternoon. “Another interesting note: The obituaries in the Honolulu papers state whether aloha or casual attire is expected at the funeral service. “Because of the number of Orientals there, 1 felt as if I might be in Tokyo or Hong Kong. They run the shops, manage the banks, and own the hotels. They are unbelievable hustlers and competent. They own expensive property, look after their own, and try to retain their ethnic heritage. Instructions to the public are written in Japanese beside the English. Japan sends more tourists to the islands than any other country, even surpassing those from the United States Mainland. “When one starts to read the map, the first reaction is to give up on attempting to pronounce the Hawaiian place names. The Hawaiian alphabet has only 12 letters: the five classic vowels plus seven consonants. Every syllable and every word ends with a vowel, and each vowel is pronounced separately with the accent falling on the next-to-the-last syllable. There are the usual exceptions, but the Hawaiian bus drivers are very patient as you attempt to tell them you wish to go to Kapiolani Park or to the Haleiwa or Waimanalo beaches. “While Hawaii is a delightful place to visit and a desirable place to live, it is not the place in which to seek employment. There is no diversified or high-tech industry. and the jobs generated by the tourist trade are at the low end of the wage skale. Hawaii's trained and educated youth go to the Mainland for employment. The young Japanese girl beside whom 1 sat on the Honolulu-to-Denver flight was returning to her job with Hewlett-Packard in a Denver industrial park. “The cost of getting there plus food and housing can make for an expensive vacation, but it is worth saving for. Just don't wait for a lifetime to see Hawaii as I did?' Only one arrest nt Syracuse Accounting for the only arrest in Syracuse last week. Bennie P. Morse. 29.
