"CRUZIN AROUND CUSE"

(Continued from page 4) REST EASY, Syracuse now has four of its five police officers living within the city limits. Jim Felkner, moved into his Harrison Street home several weeks ago.

BACK TO school for our assessor and her staff. Charlene Knispel, Susan Myrick and Charlene Hefty attended a three-day assessor’s schooling in Clarksville on July 11-13. This was sponsored by the Indiana Assessor’s Association, of which Knispel is immediate past president. £ JAWS CAR wash raised approximately S6OO, according to Ed Batesla, secretary/treasurer of the Syracuse Fire Department. He estimates that 150 vehicles were washed during the Fourth of July weekend fundraiser — most of them inside and out. DRIVE CAREFULLY when traversing State Road 13. The paving has been held up due to the raising of storm drains (who could miss them!?) along the highway. While the project is being accomplished, the holes in the roadway keep getting bigger — and sometimes very dangerous as drivers weave their way along in their attempts to dodge the obstacles.

Even though a small portion of the 10-mile stretch has storm drains, no paving will be done until it can all be done at the same time. Sources assure us that the paving will start the first of August. THE NEXT State Highway Department project, according to information recently received by the Syracuse Police Department, is to post “no parking” signs along SR 13 from Benton Street north 350 feet (about to the bridge). This will be done after the paving is completed. SPEAKING OF the State Highway Department, representatives have been spotted checking out the ditch in front of the Pilcher/LoganRogers/Thornburg Drugs complex. It is filled with water and trash. Seems that it takes the flow from Sea Nymph and now some additional drainage from the recently renovated Red-D-Mart. The backup of water appears to be caused by a blockage of the culvert that runs under the ingress from SR 13. Besides the ugly trash, mosquitoes are breeding. Word is that the town cannot do anything about it because it is state property. > —O THE CHAMBER of Commerce’s commemorative colorful poster/map of the Syracuse-Wawasee area will finally be available on August 3. There have been some delays at the printer level, but we have been assured by Four Coins Company, that our job is “next up”. They will be available for sale at JA Business Service, who will also have a supply of appropriate frames on hand to purchase. -JOG

Letters to the editor

Miscarriage of justice

Dear Editor: What a gross miscarriage of justice! I cannot believe what happened to two fine upstanding citizens of our communities July 4th. As if it was not enough that they were jerked away from their families on the 4th but then their names plastered along with untruths across the front page of the local paper. These two Christian men were arrested, booked and then their wives forced to bail them out over what? A bottle rocket. How many of us had bottle rockets over the 4th of July, the celebration of independence and of freedom. All who attended both the Big Bang on July 3rd and Syracuse fireworks saw illegal fireworks going off all around both lakes, hundreds and thousands of dollars worth of much more elaborate fireworks than a mere bottle rocket. There were people selling fireworks inside city limits. ' Sure it’s illegal to let them off but not to buy them! Make sense. I am sorry the person had a temporary hearing loss but how many of us have had that same thing caused by a firecracker, a whistle or a mere child’s scream. If our chief of police signed an order permitting the firing of fireworks inside the city limits, then what makes what these men

Hiler supports limit on ag embargoes Congressman John Hiler has co-sponsored legislation to limit the conditions under which the federal government can impose an agricultural embargo-ypon another nation. Under the pill, H.R. 4692, agricultural sanctions may only be imposed upon a country with which we are at war or one which has shown open military ‘ hostilities toward the United States. “Too often, ag embargoes have been used ill-advisedly to demonstrate our disapproval of another country’s actions,” Hiler explained. “They end up causing hardship for the agriculture economy with little or no effect on the behavior of the country we’re trying to influence.” Hiler said invoking the em-

have done illegal? After all if these people took the liberty to park at the private pier of one of the accused without asking permission, then maybe they should suffer the consequences. Had they have anchored out in the lake like everyone else this whole mess could have been avoided unless ‘someone else’s bottle rocket had gone astray. A Concerned Citizen Why weren't they served? Dear Editor: I thought that we are living in the year 1988, not in the early 60’s. There was an incident that happened in our town that I am very upset about. This incident happened at a local restaurant on Friday, July 15. There were three men, two white and one black, that went in there to eat lunch. But they were refused to be served, so they left. These men were from out of town working in our town. It is pretty bad when people from out of town can’t even get a lunch in our town. Terry G. Thompson P.0.80x 296 Milford

bargoes unwisely hurts the US farmers more than it hurts the other nation. “The historic result of ag embargoes has been to cost the country billions of dollars and paint a picture of us in the world trading community as unreliable sellers and suppliers. It’s unfortunate since American farmers are generally both efficient and productive.” Ward disputes facts of study Thomas W. Ward, Democratic nominee for Congress from Indiana’s third district, called upon his opponent to reexamine the facts and support the bill on advance notification of plant closings before the House on July 13. “For several months now, my opponent has been saying that he would like to support plant closing legislation, but he has seen a study which claims that it will cost 460,000 jobs and $l.B billion a year,” Ward said. “Well, I am delivering evidence to him today which shows that the study he is citing is not worth the paper it’s printed on,” he added. “This means that he can vote today in favor of the bill with a clear conscience.” Ward pointed to a March report issued by the US General Accounting office, the watchdog agency of the federal governr lent, which criticizes the metho lology and conclusions of a Robert R. Nathan Associates n port on the impact of advance notification legislation. Among other things, the GAO study points to faulty or invalid assumptions and overstated costs. “If Hiler is deadset against giving working families the right to know if they are going to have a paycheck, that’s his business,” Ward said. “But we’re not going to let him get away with hiding behind this trumped-up study that the big corporations paid for. If he’s going to vote to protect the

special interests of the large corporations, he’s going to have to start dealing honestly with the people. “The fact of the matter is that passing this bill will actually save taxpayers’ money,” Ward said. “And more importantly, it’s the right way to treat people.” Providing advance notification of plant closings helps alert communities so they can work to save jobs and cushions the blow for families who need to prepare to find new employment, Ward said. And non-partisan studies have shown that displaced workers who receive advance notice find new jobs an average of four weeks sooner, saving S4OO million in unemployment insurance costs. The notification legislation only applies to firms with more than 100 employees, so 90 percent of American businesses are exempt from its provisions. The bill also exempts employers who are victims of economic conditions which they could not reasonably have foreseen, faltering companies which are making good faith efforts to keep the facility open, or firms whose employees knew that their work would be temporary. Quayle sponsors Civil Rights legislation US Senator Dan Quayle announced July 8 that he is sponsor- ( ing legislation with Senator Rudy Boschwitz that would bring members of Congress and the judicial branch under the provisions of the Civil Rights Act. In sponsoring the bill, S. 2428, the “Congressional and Judicial Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1988,” Quayle said, “I believe we should put to rekt the idea that congress is above the law, or that we in Congress should be exempt from the important laws of the land. It’s time that Congress abide by the same

laws as everyone else. There is no reason that a member of Congress can’t live by the same rules that othdr employers have to follow.” The legislation would amend Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to extend the equal employment opportunity protections to include employees of the Congress and the Federal Judiciary. It establishes a 12-member Employment Review Board composed of retired Supreme Court Justices and US Appellate Court Judges to hear claims. Quayle added, “ . . . this bill fIL ' I r' T 1 808 STIFFLER MANAGER
