Ivy Tech hosts OSHA update

A four hour seminar, “OSHA/EPA Update,” will be held beginning at 8 a.m. April 6 at Indiana Vocational Technical College, 106 N. Buffalo, Warsaw. The seminar will familiarize participants with the OSHA Hazardous Communication Standard, requiring that information be provided to employees about the hazardous chemicals they are - exposed to. The standard cur- • rently affects only manufactur- . ing industries in Standard Industrial Codes (SIC) 20-39, but on ; May 20,1988, the standard will be . expanded to apply to all employers. EPA Title 111, a free standing law within the Hazardous Communication Standard, requires all companies that use, manufacture, or process chemicals to compile a list of the hazardous materials to be submitted to local and state regulatory agencies and to the local fire department. This legislation, and the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) which must accompany each chemical coming into or leaving a plant, will also be addressed, v.. The seminar is designed for company compliance personnel, emergency response personnel, plant managers or other responsible for company environmental affairs or public relations. It will cover an employer’s responsibilities, liabilities and rights.

Allocation starts in Leesburg, Cromwell

Eighty-six percent of the United Telephone Company of Indiana customers in Leesburg and Cromwell selected a primary long-distance compnay during the first round of balloting, according to Roger Fisher, community relations manager for United. A second ballot was mailed March 7 to customers who did not make a selection on the first ballot. The second ballot assigns a long-distance company to those customers who did not return their first ballot or presubscribe by the Feb. 16 deadline. The random assignment process is based on the number of votes each company received on the first ballot. For example, if on the first ballot, 40 percent'of the customers chose company A, 25 percent selected company B, 20 percent chose company C and 15 percent picked company D, then during the allocation prcess, 40 percent of those who did not return the ballots will be assigned

to compnay A, 25 percent to company B and so forth. Customers have until March 27 to return the second ballot if they want to choose a company other than the one assigned. If they * desire to keep the company to them, they need not return the ballot. The actual conversion is scheduled for April 16. At that time, customers making a call outside the regional calling area defined by the FCC will be able to use the company chosen or assigned by dialing “1 +” then the number they are calling.

Norma Roose now has time to do 'good things' for others

I By MARY BETH BILTZ Staff Writer “I guess that’s one of the advantages of getting older,” muses Norma Roose. “You have time to do so many of the good things you didn’t have time for before.” Time would have been full enough for her “before” — with being a wife, homemaker, mother and grandmother for so many years in her North Webster residence. Roose, having always haled from this region, was active in those days doing volunteer work for the church and community. She’s still active doing these services today — only she never had a title like Kosciusko County Coordinator of the Nutrition Program before. Coming to the job seven or eight years ago, she has been supervising the five Nutrition Sites in Kosciusko County — doing public relations work, making agendas. “A nutrition site isn’t just a place to get a free meal. We like to stress the fact that we believe in fun and fellowship and education.” Open five days a week from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Nutrition sites require a day’s notice for all those planning to attend so that enough food can be ordered for the day. Nutrition sites sometimes also have excursions scheduled — say to the Botanical Gardens in Fort Wayne. A far cry from the soup kitchens of the 19305. Governmentally-funded, REAL Services (Resources for Enriching Adult Living) is Roose’s actual employer for the nutrition site program. In trying to “rais6 the consciousness” of the nutrition program by focusing on the social aspects it provides, Roose created some more work for herself, “good work” to help spend her time: Fun Nights. Designed with the purpose of bringing older citizens together for hours of homey fun, Fun Night has accomplished just that in less than four meetings. It started last November with the Melloaires (a senior citizen’s musical group of which Roose is a member) sponsoring the activity. Roose and her co-planners then thought that perhaps sponsoring Fun Nights would be good promotion for local businesses. Approaching area banks, Roose got great response. The Center Lake Pavilion in Warsaw is the scene of the action, starting around 6 on

the scheduled night of the month and ending around 8:30. Senior citizens from all over the county attend to play games (cards, scrabble, etc.), have refreshments, listen to music and dance. Roose herself has a direct hand with the music: she is a selftaught organist. Playing along with the “band” — or the pianist — Roose says she can go for three hours straight and never mind a minute of it. She loves playing music,"(which she does much by ear) just as she loves her work with the nutrition program. Roose also plays the piano, the autoharp and is currently teaching herself how to play the dulcimer. Yet finding the time to learn a new instrument or work with the patterns of sunbonnet girls she enjoys collecting is hard to come by. Roose is active in her church, being the assistant organist, and she and a friend run a retreat center near Burket. The Resting Place, as the retreat is called, is Bonnie Newton’s home, a large house that lends itself to accom-

Buhrt receives continuance

Phillip R. Buhrt, 28, r 1, Milford, appeared in Elkhart Circuit Court Thursday and asked for and received a continuance of his sentencing on a charge of attempted murder, rape and robbery. On February 25, Buhrt had pled guilty to the charges. Publicsdefender R. Brent Zook requested the delay Thursday at Buhrt’s request because he is thinking of withdrawing his guilty plea. Zook stated that the continuance will also allow special psychological tests to be completed at the Elkhart County jail where Buhrt is being held. Buhrt was in no hurry during the February hearing to admit he raped, robbed and tried to kill a female acquaintance on

Vandalism, theft and shoplifting at Syracuse

One report of vandalism, one theft, and one shoplifting incident were investigated by Syracuse Police between last Wednesday, March 23, and Monday, March 28. John W. Clugston, Medusa Street, reported that a subject had entered the unlocked garage at his residence and took several articles sometime between Friday night, March 25, and Monday morning, March 28. No value was given for the items. A Ligonier juvenile was arrested by police after attempting to take a magazine, valued at $2.95, from Augsburger’s Super Value, SR 13, without paying for it. The youth reportedly put the magazine under his shirt and attempted to leave the store. A cashier stopped him. The incident occurred at 9:50 p.m. Saturday, March 26.

modating people of all ages who feel themselves in need of a peaceful day. Newton and Roose run a non-denominational retreat with good food, scheduled speaking guests, surprise little gifts for the guests and, of course, time to be alone, perhaps in the chapel, for meditation. This is another project that Roose finds satisfying and that she loves and that consumes much of her already stretched time. To “clear the cobwebs” out of her brain, Roose enjoys walking several miles a week around her rural home. Her daughter, Sue, lives nearby and is a homemaker. Son, Dick, is a teacher in Milford and her other son, Bob, is a salesman out in Colorado Springs, Colo. Roose has seven grandchildren, ranging from the third grade to college age. Active as she is now, doing the good things she perhaps didn’t have time for before, Roose isn’t sure if she’ll be as active a year from now, but for today she loves it all.

September 13 of last year. He reportedly asked the lady for a ride home from a Goshen cocktail lounge where she was employed. He is reported to have ordered her to stop the car near the Conrail railroad tracks the 800 block of Logan Street in Goshen. Once they were out of the car he took her to a pile of debris, raped her and hit her over the head with a piece of asphalt. He then drove her car back to the lounge and left in his own car. The female, who was pregnant at the time, managed to get herself to a nearby house and call police. The new court date has been set for April 21. Buhrt could receive a sentence of up to 120 years behind bars. Rape is a class B felony and the other charges are class A felonies.
