School board receives info on overcrowded Syracuse school
(Continued from page 1) nounced its superintendent screening committee. This is the second time in two years that this type of committee has been formed. Chairing the 11-member committee is Marion Lantz. Joining the North Webster resident will be Courtney Blue, Carol Koble, Donna Yargosz, Curt Jordan, Bill Troup, Dorothy Gall, Dick Long, Phil Metcalf, Carol Swartzendruber, and Richard Roose. It was mentioned that this committee should be able to narrow its choices within a two week span. After that, the candidates will be interviewed, and a selection made. In a financial issue, Roger Kryder, assistant superintendent for business, informed the board that three employees are working overtime because they have two jobs within the school corporation. Presently, they are not being paid for the extra hours, which could get the corporation in trouble with the Fair Labor Act. The three employees, Joe Gray, Don Losee and Gerald Thomas will be affected by the decision. All three are custodians and bus drivers: Gray serves Syracuse Junior High, Losee works at Milford, and Thomas is employed at North Webster. “I would like to recommend that we give the three until May 1, 1987, to decide whether they want to be custodians, or bus drivers,” said Kryder. “I will meet with the employees once the board acts upon this.” Although the board felt this decision was essential, it was, nevertheless, difficult to make. “I really hate to do this,” said David Carey, Wawasee School Board vice president. “But in fairness to the employees, and in keeping with the Fair Labor Act, I feel we have to do this. ” “We have not paid overtime in the past,” informed Kryder. “This action will give the school board a chance to get out from under this situation, and give the employees a chance to decide what job they want.” Personnel Changes The board approved personnel changes, recommended by Hull. The moves include the board’s decision to accept Bess Stetler’s resignation as a 16-hour migrant tutor at Wawasee High School. / Also accepted were Susan
Jones’ maternity leave (Special Education from North Webster) effective January 5,1987, through March 6, 1987; Jill Perrin’s maternity leave (first grade at Syracuse School) from January 19,1987, through May 29,1987.
Karen Parr’s hours were extended from 30 to 40. The 10 extra hours will be served as a migrant teacher at Wawasee, and be paid through a JPTA Grant entitled “Experimental Project for Youth.”
The Kosciusko Area Bus Service and Wawasee School Corporation reached a contract agreement during the meeting. Wawasee, which paid $19,000 last year, will increase its payment $4,000 in 1987.
However, should Wawasee’s enrollment increase by 18

NIPSCO gives tips on natural gas safety
Northern Indiana Public Service Company reminds its natural gas customers to keep safety in mind as they prepare for the winter heating season. “Natural gas is efficient, reliable and a good energy buy. But we must be responsible in the way we use natural gas and other fuels,” said Jeffrey W. Yundt, NIPSCO’s vice president of gas operations. The utility advises natural gas users to check flues and chimneys to make sure they’re in good operating condition. A blocked flue or chimney should be cleared immediately, and rusting or corroded flues should be replaced. “Natural gas needs a dependable source of air for proper combustion,” Yundt said. “Without sufficient air, carbon monoxide can be produced when natural gas or other combustible fuels are burned ” Gas-fueled room heaters and fireplace burners should carry approval seals of industryrecognized agencies such as the American Gas Association and Underwriters’ Laboratories. These devices should also be properly vented, the utility said. Extended window service hours on Saturdays Extended window service hours during the holiday season will be offered at Syracuse and Milford Post Offices, according to Anthony Rudasics, Syracuse Postmaster and Nancy Kurzhal, Milford Postmaster. The extended window service hours will be on Saturday, Nov. 29, December 6, 13, and 20. Post offices will be open until 1:30 p.m. instead of 12 noon. Imogene Menzie, North Webster Postmaster, stated North Webster Post Office will not be observing the extended time, and operate on the normal post office hours.

When used in masonry or in fireplaces, gas-fueled burners should be operated only when dampers are open and in accordance with operating instructions. Since natural gas is colorless and odorless, a special chemical called mercaptan is added to gas, making it easy to detect if a leak occurs. Anyone smelling this distinctive odor should open doors and windows, check gas ranges and other appliances to see if controls are turned off and call the local NIPSCO service number immediately. Also, do not light matches or operated electric switches ,or equipment when this odor is present. If the odor is strong, leave the building and call NIPSCO from a nearby phone.
