NOW COMES a letter from Ric Rac Inc. of Nashville, Ind. stating an Indiana Country Music Association is being established. Richard L. Hanson, president of Ric Rac, says, “We believe such an organization may serve as a vehicle to develop the entertainment industry within the State of Indiana. As this industry is organized and developed, we fell it will provide considerable economic impact for the State of Indiana through increased employment opportunity and tourism. The people at the Wagon Wheel in Warsaw can testify to the fact that country music is a big thing in this area. They have booked country singer Ricky Skaggs there on February 27, and only a few days after the announcement came out that he was going to be there both shows were sold out. Many people are currently on a waiting list and most of them say they have little or no hope of getting to see Skaggs. ■””0 0 DON’T FORGET the Lions are holding their pancake and sausage breakfast from 6 to 9 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 13, in the commupity building.

Seek blanket insurance coverage for S-W Chamber of Commerce

I By NEVIN DULABAUM Staff Writer With the Syracuse Chamber of Commerce sponsoring many year-round events, such as the recently completed Winter Carnival, the need for blanket coverage liability insurance has become obvious. Jeanne Gardiner, president of the chamber of commerce and treasurer for the Retail Merchants, announced at the Retail Merchants monthly meeting, that the chamber is looking into several insurance possibilities. Gardiner said, “We are looking to try and find a blanket liability plan for chamber activities, including the Retail Merchants.” Gardiner said at the 8 a.m. meeting on Friday, Feb. 5, that the need for insurance is twofold. In the past, chamber sponsored activities were insured by businesses which sponsored in-

his wife, Marcia, township trustee and assessor, r 1, couldn’t help noticing the recent sign which was placed in their lawn announcing “It’s a boy! ” The Baumgartners welcomed the arrival of their third child, Simon William, who was born last Thursday morning, Feb. 4. Simon was also welcomed home

dividual events. However, in case a lawsuit were to be filed, the chamber could still be held liable. And that, said Gardiner, is reason enough to join an insurance plan. Gardiner also added that it is time for the chamber to start taking charge of its own events. She said the chamber should be able to insure its own activities without having to rely on outside help. The more the chamber relies on various groups, organizations, and businesses, the less the event is actually sponsored by the chamber. Gardiner said several insurance options are being investigated, including the possibility of joining several Kosciusko County cities in an umbrella insurance program. In old business items, the distribution of Christmas Coupons was discussed by members present, including Gardiner, President Donna Conder, Secretary Carol Wallace, and member Judy Mosier. The members were unanimous in agreeing that the coupons should be circulated again next year. However, because several area businesses declined to insert the coupons in with employee paychecks this year, the members discussed whether those companies should be approached again next year, or if alternate distribution methods should be used. Several ideas were mentioned, but a final decision was not made. In new business, it was decided that proceeds of the poster maps which were discussed during the January meeting have been designated to help purchase Christmas lights. The maps will be illustrated, and will show Syracuse streets, landmarks, and participating businesses. One thousand copies are to be made and sold at Hoosier Celebration ’BB during 4th of July festivities. Gardiner also annouunced that
