(Continued from page 4) Geiger is making this a race for his life, and has a fair chance of winning if being well known is a factor. It will be interesting how the small North Webster vote will I divide up between Geiger and Mock. ‘ Geiger was making the rounds in northern Kosciusko County last week with Maurice Beer at his side “spreading the good word,” as J.D. puts it. Sharp’s column puts in a strong word for Sandra Frush, former Pierceton clerktreasurer, as the best candidate “to handle this reorganization job in the county treasurer’s office.” Sharp also writes, “this is a position that needs strong leadership,” adding, “the office has deteriorated into one of the worst in the history of the county.” Incumbent Treasurer Vicki Shoemaker, holding down one of the most sensitive jobs in our county’s government, has been privately taken to task by Democrats, and as the election nears, by fellow Republicans as well, for her personal habits and/or malfeasence of office. “What personal habits; what malfeasence,” she replies. County commissioners claim the treasurer’s “real bosses,” the ones who could have her removed from office (and these are strong terms) are the voters themselves, the ones who elected her in the first place. Others are running for county treasurer, including Gloria Maple, Paul A. Onstott, Judith Kay Cox, and Fred D. Weagley. You can bet the Democrats will go after that office, teeth flashing. Ron Sharp has much, much more to say about how our county and state government are run and where the monies come from, where they go. Sharp puts a lot of research in his column; it’s worth reading. WITH ALL the signs of spring in the air, it’s not surprising that Wawasee High School Vice Principal Donn Kesler, Mrs. Kesler and Mr. and Mrs. Dick Smith of Milford decided to take a trip to Brown State Park during spring break. On the first day of their excursion, the couples hiked through the park in the morning. According to Betty Smith, the damage from the storm that ripped through the state on Wednesday, April 6, was all too apparent. Betty says that more than 75 trees were down in the park. That afternoon, the Smiths and the Keslers enjoyed a visit to the city of Nashville. The next morning, they explored McCormick’s Creek State Park, and that afternoon, went shopping in

Prizes will be awarded too those riders who raise the largest amount of "'money from their sponsors. The grand prize will be a new 10-speed bicycle.

OH ' 1 Bl T* -m «li® & JB 1 I Il THIS GREAT horned owl has chosen a tree at the Wilma and Jim Cox home, r 4 Syracuse, as the place to raise her young. “We just found the mother about three weeks ago,” Wilma said. “The baby has been there for about two weeks.” When staff photographer Nevin Dulabaum tried to photograph the mother and her baby, the mother was quick to hide her infant from the camera’s eye. Wilma said the mother must have been there for at least six weeks as she would have been on the egg in the nest for at least a month before it hatched. The first week the Coxes spotted the owl, it would stay on the nest all day, and then at about 7:30 it would fly off, coming back about every 45 minutes to check on the baby. Now that the baby owl is older, the mother goes away for longer periods of time. The nest is approximately 40 feet up in a hickory nut tree. The infant is fed the heads of blackbirds as bodies of the birds have been found at the tree’s base.

I ByGLEN LONG Staff Writer The Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA), at its meeting on April 12, granted John Lehman, Milford, an exception to establish a second principal use on a tract of land in a commercial district.

RELIEF THROUGH A BITE GUARD There is help for people troubled by grinding or clenching of teeth. A removable appliance, called a bite guard or bite shield can be specially molded to fit over the upper or lower teeth, depending on the patient’s particular requirements. It’s made from plastic, is comfortable to wear, and does not affect facial attractiveness. The bite guard is used when relief is sought from a wide range of uncomfortable symptoms caused by TMJ (temperomandibular joint) syndrome. These include headaches, neckaches, dizziness, jaw clicking or cracking, and pain behind the eyes, among others. Bite guards most commonly are worn at night; others use them for daytime stress, and a few require them 24 hours a day. If untreated, grinding/clenching of teeth can eventually cause the teeth to shift position, produce gum recession and bring about a general deterioration of oral health.

three times in the past year. Dan Richards, APC director, said equipment has been stored outside the buildings and therefore the operation stipulations had not been met. Rogers’ extension orders that within 90 days he will construct a solid screen fence six feet high inside of which he will keep all stored items. The board denied the variance petition of Gerald F. Williams for a permit to allow building a boat house 10 feet off the road and 4 feet from a side property line. Members felt the lot is too small lor the building he wanted to
Dr. Webster wants jury to decide
A motion for a pre-trial conference is to be filed this week in Elkhart Circuit Court in the case of Dr. Kenneth Webster and the Wawasee Community School Corporation. Steve Snyder, attorney for Dr. Webster, stated earlier this week that his client chose to further the case by taking it to trial. The Syracuse attorney noted a pre-trial conference is a meeting of the attorneys with the judge over the issues to be tried. At the pre-trial conference a trial date will be set. Snyder believes it will be 30 days or so before the pre-trial conference is scheduled and that the trial may not take place until 1989. Elkhart Circuit Court Judge

The first hearing date was scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 7, 1986, however, a motion for a change of venue by the school corporation attorney moved the hearing to Elkhart Circuit Court, where it was heard on Friday, Oct. 17, 1986.

It showed that double fencing has been employed for security and the area was neat and clean.
