THE LUTHER Burbank of Milford? What a watermelon! Milford’s own Dr. Thomas (“Al”) Miller has grown a 76.2 pound doozey of a melon. At 24 inches long, 15 inches wide and 44 inches around, this horticultural wonder looks great; but don’t try to eat it. Miller warns that it’s not very tasty. For those of us who are sketchy on our American history. Luther

Burbank (1849-1926) was a famed horticulturist and plant breeder. —o— INEZ BEISWANGER is one proud grandmother these days. And, what grandmother wouldn’t be? Her granddaughter, Erin Lynn Fuller, won this year’s 4-H Horse Award at the Indiana State Fair. ' Erin Lynn, 13, is the daughter

of Thomas and Lynn Fuller of 1256 W. Springville Road, LaPorte. She is a student at Krueger Junior High School in Michigan City. Sometime this month, Erin and her parents will travel to the Bob Evans Farm at Rio Grande, Ohio, where she will receive her horse. According to a news item in the August 26 LaPorte Herald-Argus, Erin has been involved with 4-H for four years in horse and pony projects and is a member of the LaPorte E-Z Riders and the Springfield Spitfires 4-H Club in LaPorte County. p Erin won grand champion in showmanship and grand champion in horsemanship during the LaPorte County Fair in July, then was selected by a state 4-H committee for the 4-H Horse Award. She was presented with a plaque by the Indiana State 4-H Leader, Dr. Maurice S. Kramer; Indiana State Fair Board Director Glen B. Schafer; and the 1988 Indiana State Fair Queen Kimberly Kaye Noble. —o— MJ EDITOR Jeri Seely and her husband, Bud, were off to Michigan over the recent Labor Day holiday for a visit to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. The couple was in the museum but a few minutes when they spotted Delbert and Leona Dippon of west of town.

The Dippons, however, were not alone. They were with Wayne and Irene Bucher of Cindonway Shores and with former area

residents Jim and Sue Barnes of Union Lake, Mich. The women, many readers will recall, are sisters. ( It just goes to prove once again that we really do live in a small world. * —o— THE MAIL must (and does) go through. This became a proven fact last Saturday when the postmaster and both rural carriers were on vacation. No problem. Sub number one will take route number one and sub number two will take route number two. Right? Wrong! Andrea (Newman) Weybright was set to take her dad’s route. No problem. When the r 2 substitute carrier quit there was a big problem. What to do? Kim Wright, who had taken over the simple task Os minding the store while Postmaster Nancy Kurzhal was vacationing, would make a call to South Bend for instructions and help! But there was no answer at South Bend! What next? * Enter EMS President and postal employee Cheryl Brunjes. She knew where people lived because of her work with the emergency medical service and she is an employee of the postal department. Andrea took route 2 and Cheryl took route 1. After Andrea finished delivering the mail to the people on route 2 she joined Cheryl and helped deliver the rest of route 1 and the mail was delivered to Milford rural customers in spite of the fact that

there were seemingly unending problems at the Milford Post Office late last week. Congratulations ladies on a job well done! WANT YOUR GED? Or help with reading or math?

Ray Frost's conviction overturned

The Court of Appeals of Indiana, Fourth District, reversed the conviction of Ray B. Frost, Syracuse, on August 30. Frost was convicted in October 1987 of aiding and assisting a criminal, a class D felony in Kosciusko Superior Court. He was sentenced December 10 to serve a twoyear prison term in the Indiana Department of Corrections and to pay a SIOO fine. The three judges reversed the decision and addressed the issue of whether to state presented sufficient evidence on each element of the crime charged. Judge P.J. Conover, J. Robertson and J. Miller concurred that the state did not present adequate evidence on each element of the crime charged. The charges against Frost deal with the harboring of a 15-year-old Syracuse boy, Jeff Griffin, who had ran

dent (August 21) in Wabash County which involved Darcy Mock, her young son, Christopher, and Darcy’s brother, Doug Wolferman, as they were 'traveling to Bloomington. Reports from Darcy’s mother, Sue Wolferman, tell us that Darcy is “much, much better” and three-year-old Christopher is now able to get around since his leg cast was removed. On that particular day, Christopher’s six-month-old brother, Andrew, was staying in the home of friends, Kent and Ann Sawyer and family, r 1, Milford.

away from home and allegedly burglarized his parents’ home. The juvenile was found in Frost’s home after a search warrant was obtained and served. Griffin was taken into custody and adjudged a delinquent child. He was never charged as an adult. The judges site IC 35-44-3-2: A person not standing in the relation of parent, child, or spouse to another person who has committed a crime or is a fugitive from justice who, with intent to hinder the apprehension or punishment of the other person, harbors, conceals or otherwise assists the person commits a criminal, a class A misdemeanor.' Frost contents the acts committed by Griffin cannot 'constitute a crime, as required by statute, because he was a juvenile. IC 31-6-3-5 in pertinent part reads: A child may not be charged with or convicted of a crime, except a crime excluded by IC 31-6-2-l(b), unless he has been waived to a court having criminal jurisdiction; a child may not be considered a criminal by reason of an adjudication in a juvenile court nor may such a adjudication be considered a convention of a crime. Such an adjudication does not impose any civil disability 'imposed by conviction of a crime. “It has long been held proceedings in juvenile court are civil in nature and not criminal. An act of juvenile delinquency is not a crime. “Here, the state failed to present any evidence indicating Jeff committed a crime. There is no

And for Doug, who luckily escaped the accident with a few cuts and bruises, he did reach his destination of Indiana University that day — only after he and his dad, Don, rented an open U-Haul trailer and retrieved as much as they could from the completely demolished Mock vehicle and continued on to Bloomington. Doug’s address is: McNutt Crone, Room B-33, Indiana' University, Bloomington, Ind. 47406. BRAVO! The time and temperature sign at the bank are back in working order. As we understand it, it took awhile to

evidence Jeff was waived from juvenile to adult criminal court. Without such waiver, Jeff could not have committed a “crime,” as required by IC 35-44-3-2. The state, therefore, failed to prove Frost assisted a person who had previously committed a crime. Since the state charged Frost with a felony, it had the additional burden of proving Jeff committed a crime which was a felony. It also failed in this effort for the same reasons. “Additionally, there is no evidence Jeff is a fugitive from

Notices to be mailed to C of C board members

. Due to a lack of a majority of board members at the monthly Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce this morning (Wednesday), discussion on topics was brief. There were only three of the 10 board members present. A consensus was taken that in the future, Carol Wallace, executive secretary, will be mailing notices of the meetings to board members. Topics discussed included the 2,000 poster maps of Syracuse that are still available and the possibilities of having a school club sell the maps and keep part of the money collected. Christmas decorations were briefly discussed with Mike Tallon, committee member,

justice. A fugitive from justice is a person who has been charged with criminal activity in one state and flees from that jurisdiction to another state. . . Clearly, Jeff’s actions do come within this definition. “The conviction for aiding and assisting a criminal or fugitive is predicated on the commission of a crime or the presence of a fugitive from justice. The state failed to produce evidence on this requirement; therefore, Frost’s conviction must be reversed. ”

noting that banners will be made by Butler Signs and brackets to hang the banners made by Colbin Tobi. “We decided to spend the money locally,” noted Tallon.
