Chippeway Village comes alive in Fulton County
Every fall the tiny frontier village of Chippeway Comes alive for two days on the banks of the Tippecanoe River in Fulton County. Visitors are asked to imagine that William Polke, founder of the village and surveyor of the Michigan Road, has invited all the Indians, fur traders, and settlers to a rendezvous or trading fair. The village in the woods will echo with singing, pioneer and Indian dancing, and the aroma of foods cooking over wood fires. That s what the visitor will experience when attending the 12th annual Trail of Courage Rendezvous September 19-20 on the corner of new US 31 and the Tippecanoe River, four miles north of Rochester. The town of Chippeway no longer exists on the maps but it comes alive in the hearts and minds of over 700 participants who gather to re-create life as it was in the 1830 s in frontier Indiana. What will be new at the Trail of

Jerry Johnson was responsible for decorations and music was provided by “The Vice Brothers.” The committee for the dinner-dance consisted of M§ry Waltz, Sally Doll and Vicky Johnson.
Highlanders, Rochester Heymakers, the many buckskinners who set up the tepee village, the traders and craftsmen, and of course, the purveyors of those delicious foods cooked over wood fires, will all be there. The purpose of the Trail of Courage is to commemorate the courage of Potawatomi on the Trail of Death removal in 1838. (The aforementioned William Polke was the conductor on the Trail of Death.) Thus, the Indians are a very important part of the TC.R. Chief White Eagle and Bill Wamego will return as special honored guests. The Indian Awareness Center will again be headquarters for the Indian visitors. The Independent Indian Relief will sell beef jerky, made by Potawatomi Indians of Michigan. Indian crafts such as beadwork and weaving will be demonstrated. This living-history festival is recipient of a grant from the Indiana Arts Commission. There is a fee and the gates are open from 10a.m.-sp.m. For more information, contact Fulton County Historical Society. 7th and Pontiac, Rochester. Ind. 46975, weekdays 9-5.

County bus tours available
By DENISE M. FIDLER Kos. Co. Convention And Visitor’s Bureau A bus trip to Kosciusko County? You bet! We are really excited here at the Greater Warsaw Chamber of Commerce and Kosciusko County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau with the increasing demand on bus tour requests for Kosciusko County. The chamber office receives thousands of requests a year by telephone, letter, or walk-ins on recreational information about the area. Typically, people are interested in the lakes, fishing, swimming, camping, hotels, etc. As noted in two national publications, we have a very popular reputation for being a good recreational place to vacation. J| DENISE M. FIDLER Have you ever thought of touring the Warsaw Cut Glass factory to see how glass is handcarved as it was back when it was originally founded 9 How about touring the late famed evangelist’s home in Winona Lake — the Billy Sunday home? Or, have you even realized that we have our own historical museum right here in Warsaw which used to be the old jail? Have you ever thought of going to Mentone to see the “Giant Egg” which is a landmark for the “Egg Basket tour of the midwest ” Many people come from all over to see this "giant” egg. This attraction is what started the interest in bus tours to Kosciusko County. Mentone also has the Bell Museum, which is named after the famous Lawrence Dale Bell, aviation pioneer. North Webster has a very interesting “Palace of Sports” Museum, which has many famous “lifelike” wax figurines of sports stars. And, there is plenty more around our county to see and do Because we live in an area that is very rich and involved in agriculture, there are many farms that are open to the public to tour. Have you ever wanted to see a hog farm? How about a buffalo farm? Some of the industries also open their doors to group tours. This is an exciting way to learn about the county around us. Did you realize that we have over 100 lakes, one of which is the largest natural lake in Indiana, Lake Wawasee in Syracuse. Also, there are over 3,400 acres of beautiful land in the Tri-County Game Preserve which has nine lakes for fishing and plenty of land to hunt, trap, ski or hike. Pierceton and Silver Lake are sought after by avid antique enthusiasts from all over. This is a very popular shopping tour. The bus tours are hosted by Sheila Hodges. Sue has been the hostess since 1984. Sheila knows the area real well and knows exactly how to satisfy the needs of
the groups. When a bus tour arrives in the county, they will each receive a “ditty bag’’ from Sheila. In this “ditty bag” are items that the Convention and Visitor’s Bureau have selected especially for group tours. Such items include the bag itself, which is an 11x15 inch plastic bag with a map of the county on it with the towns highlighted in red. Also, rules, measuring spoons and expandable travel cups are included. Many other items are donated by area businesses, such as pens and pencils, and paper pads. The majority of tours that enter the county are one-day tours. There are also two-day tours, or overnight tours which are simply when the group books a night with a hotel and stays for two days. Os course, the overnight tourist has a much greater im-
Family of medalist stays in Syracuse
Bruce and Judy Grindle, r 5, Syracuse, had a special interest in the recent Pan American Games in Indianapolis. Mrs. Grindle’s second cousin, by marriage, Jay Warwick, Bozeman, Mont., was captain of the Tae Kwon Do team in this year’s competition. The team won six gold medals and one bronze medal. Warwick was a silver medalist in the 1985 World Championship in Korea, but in the Pan Am games, the 29-year-old took the bronze medal in the welterweight class. He was defeated by Ernesto Rodriguez, Mexico, who went on to win the gold medal. One of Warwick’s students, who was on the eight-member team, took a gold medal. The Grindles, her cousin Ken and Ilene Han, Inverness, Mont., their daughter and Jay’s wife, Desi Warwick, along with another daughter, Anita Rubirds, Powell, Wyo., attended the Tae Kwon Do competition on Saturday. Aug. 15. Mrs. Grindle stated Postcard exposition August 28-29 There will be approximately 35 dealers with over one million postcards at the 1987 Midwest Postcard Exposition to be held at Century Center in downtown South Bend. The exposition will include antique postcards as well as modern ones and will provide information as to what postcard collecting i§ all about. The show will be held Friday, Aug. 28, from 10 a m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday, Aug. 29, from 9 a m. to6p.m. There will be a small admission charge, and plenty of parking will be available. Helene Lentz stable after accident Milford resident Helene Lentz, 64, remains in serious but stable condition at Elkhart Hospital after being involved in a twovehicle collision last Friday morning, Aug. 21. Lentz’ car entered the Northern Indiana Toll Road at the Elkhart interchange, westbound, and pulled into the path of a semitractor trailer, driven by Terry Hamner, 24, Shelbyville. Lentz suffered a broken shoulder, head cuts, and possible internal injuries, while a passenger in her car, Elkhart resident Audrey Warren, 62, suffered a ruptured spleen and other internal injuries. Hamner was not injured in the incident, which occurred at 10:04 am.

pact on the economy than the oneday tourist because he is spending money on lodging and more food. The number of bus tours hosted by Kosciusko County in 1985 was 18. Out of that we had 560 one-day visitors and 81 two-day visitors or “overnighters.” Many of the tour groups came from right here in Indiana, such as Marion, Elkhart, Kiftmell, Indianapolis, Macy, and several other cities. There were also many from Ohio, Illinois, and Michigan. The additional market dollar value that was added to the economy was $584,550. The county also saw an increase in retail sales of $41,100. The number of bus tours for 1986 was slightly lower at 13 bus tours for that year but the impact was much greater due to the fact that there were more people on these tours, as
the eight-hour competition was enlightening as in each competition there were three, threeminute rounds and the winner was decided by points or a technical knock out. The Hans and Mrs. Warwick arrived at the Grindles’ home on Thursday, Aug. 6, in time for the opening ceremonies on Friday. Following their arrival, and until the time of Warwick’s competition, the Montana guests were
You and your pet —
September is cat month
Dear Dr. Wise: We own a twoyear old Siamese cat and love her dearly. You could consider us cat fanciers. We’re always excited to learn about care for cats. We hear September is National Cat Health Month and would like to know more. Could you please help? Answer: Those finicky felines of the 'Bos — they’ve outgrown their old barn days of catching mice, sleeping in the hay and getting in the milkmaid’s way. Cats have clawed their way to the top of pet popularity charts, climbing into laps of one-quarter of all American households. And now they’re fighting for an inalienable right — the right to proper health care. September is National Cat Health Month, sponsored by the American and Indiana Veterinary Medical Associations. Featuring the famous Morris the Cat as spokescat, it is devoted to educating cat owners to the health and medical needs of their pets. It addresses a national crisis in cat health care that grows out of a mistaken crisis in cat health care that grows out of a mistaken notion that cats are self-sufficient. These discrete creatures tend to keep their problems to themselves. This misleads many owners into thinking their cat is perfectly healthy when it may, indeed, be suffering from a lifethreatening illness. Studies show that well over half of America’s cat owners never take their pet to a veterinarian. Among those who do go, most Wait until there is an emergency Resulting in cats’ being, on average, much sicker than dogs by the time they’re brought for treatment. Cat Health Month focuses on prevention. Cats, like other animals, need a regular schedule of vaccinations and checkups starting in kittenhood and continuing through life. Common feline diseases such as panleukopenia (distemper), pneumonitis, calicivirus and rhinotrachetis can be prevented by yearly vaccinations. Feline
well as more “overnighters” on these tours. The number of oneday bus visitors was 880 and the number of two-day was 130. Some of these travelers came from the states of Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, and as far as South Dakota. The additional market dollar value added to the economy was $2,277,555. The amount of retail sales added to the economy was $440,456. So far in 1987, we have had six group tours with 245 oneday tourists and 80 “overnighters” which spent three days and two nights in the area. The additional market value for the six completed tours has added to the economy $230,736. The amount spent on retail sales is $1,182,930. Currently, there are five tours pending for later this summer. It is anticipated that 1987 will close showing $359,736 spent on retail

While attending the games the group was introduced to members of the team and had an opportunity to take photographs. At one point during their stay, Mrs. Warwick, who is a fan of diving champion, Greg Louganis, had the opportunity to speak to him, via telephone, all arranged
leukemia, a leading cause of death, also can now be prevented with a vaccine. Rabies, a feline disease contagious to humans, is a growing problem in many states but a vaccine is available. In 1981, the number of rabid cats surpassed the number of rabid dogs by approximately 30 percent. This trend has continued. Older cats may need checkups more often than kittens or adults because of the natural aging process. Cats seven years or older are at a greater risk for illnesses such as feline cancer and kidney disease. Older cats require

Bowen, who now serves as secretary of Health and Human Services, and the offices of American Farm Bureau. The Zimmermans visited the senate chamber while it was in session and also attended a reception hosted by all the State Farm Bureau presidents for all congressmen. They enjoyed talking with the Farm Bureau president from Puerto Rico and discovered he was a graduate of Goshen College. Mrs. Zimmerman toured many other historical sites while her husband was attending meetings. In early August, Zimmerman returned to the capital. He was one of two farmers from Indiana to be chosen along with one from lowa to go with a Farm Bureau group from Illinois. On the second trip, Zimmerman and members of the group visited the World Bank, Office of Management and Budget of USA, State Department, Federal Reserve Building and Departmetit of Interior. One day was spent in the US Department of Agriculture. While there, the group met with Richard Lyng, Secretary of Agriculture, and the Administrator of National Agricultural Statistics Services who explained the procedure for collecting data to determine crop and livestock production. Zimmerman and the group participated in the Crop Report Lock Up —a security procedure to eliminate any inside information getting out ahead of the Crop Report which might influence the grain markets. This report is a government estimate of 1987 corn and soybean yield in the US and influences the market prices.
