RULES SCHOOLS MUST OBSERVE — Ted Mahnensmith, assistant principal at Goshen High School and treasurer of the Kiwanis Club of Wawasee, spoke to club members Saturday morning, Oct. 24, on the rules and regulations schools must observe. Mahnensmith stated Child Protective Services has issued a booklet which seems to make school officials responsible for watching for infractions and reporting them. For instance, any violation of alcohol or drug laws observed within 1,000 feet of school property must be reported. Mahnensmith also stated schools must be in session 175 days this year and 180 days next year. The main problem, he pointed out, in that respect seems to involve time lost because of fog and snow. Some activities count as school time and some do not, raising questions about convocations and pep sessions, do they count as school time or not? And that time lost due to snow must be made up, how and when? Shown in the photo are Phil Hoover, president of the Kiwanis club, and Mahnensmith.

Caring for wicker

By MARIETTA One of the reasons fonthe longrun popularity of wicker furiikSiiings that they ) require minimum maintenance/ If you protect your wicker pieces from the extreme heat and dampness, clean them occasionally, and repair them promptly, they should serve you well for many years. Here are som/more easy-to-follow care suggestions. Wicker is a catchall term for furnishings made by weaving strips of a tropical plant, usually rattan, reed, willow, buri, raffia, or latania, around a rattan frame. Often strips of cane or peel are wrapped around the joints of the furniture for added strength. And some pieces are lacquered or painted, which seals the natural fiber strips against dust and dirt. Imitation wicker made from twisted paper or plastic also is available. If a man-made version of wicker has been lacquered, it’s hard to distinguish from the real thing. And unless the manufacturer states otherwise, it can be cleaned like regular wicker. Wicker furnishings should not be used outdoors unless they’re sheltered from direct sun and rain. Sunshine is especially harmful to wicker since it dries out the fiber strips, causing them to become brittle and split. Indoors, wicker pieces need to be shielded from direct sunlight, and dry, hot air coming from heat registers; both can cause the fiber strips to crack and break. Wipe you wicker furnishings occasionally with a damp cloth to prevent the fiber strips from drying out. To keep dust from settlFamily guide to be printed The Association of University Women (AAUW) amd the Kosciusko County Convention and Visitors Bureau are producing a Family Activities Guide for Kosciusko County. The Kosciusko Development Incorporated (KDI) and the greater Warsaw Area Chamber of Commerce are lending their support to this project because of the direct benefit to current residents as well as the guide being a tool in influencing prospective employees and investors. Members of the AAUW will be calling businesses throughout the county for the next couple of months to update or add pertinent information to the booklet as well as asking for donations to the project. The categories that will be listed in the guide are: Family Recreation; Festivals; Holiday Activities and Community Events; Historical Sites and Museums; Cultural Activities and Entertainment; Sports; Educational Activities; Businesses and individuals that offer classes of instruction; Businesses that offer group parties or tours; Organizations; Specials Family Services; Volunteering in Kosciusko County; Child Care; and Education in Kosciusko County. Each one of these categories will be broken into detailed listing of related services or activities. An estimated 30,000 copies will be printed and distributed in May 1908. Persons who have a service or an event that should be included in this guide or would like to donate to this project, are asked to call Daisy Nicholas 267-5324, Sylvia Ryan 269-5228 or Denise Fidler at the Chamber Office.

ing in the crevices of wicker pieces, dust them frequently with the soft brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner or with a small, tapered paintbrush. Remove any soil from wicker with a cloth aampened with warm water. If the piece is not lacquered, you can add a mild detergent to the water. Be sure to rinse and dry the wicker quickly. Never hose off wicker furniture while it does need some moisture a drenching can cause the woven strips and rattan frame to fall apart. To help heal dried-out fiber strips wipe the brittle area with a damp sponge or wrap a dampened cloth around the strip so the wicker can absorb the moisture. To mend broken or frayed fiber strips, first apply wood glue to the damaged area. Then clamp the fiber together until the glue dries. To repair a chipped paint finish on wicker, you can simply repaint the damaged area. Or, if the damage is extensive, you can strip the entire piece with a liquid paint remover and then seal the fiber strips with a white primer before repainting.
