Lions Youth Exchange program presented to Milford club
John Kibiger of the Warsaw Lions Club, presented a talk on the Lions Youth Exchange Program Monday evening during the Milford club’s regular meeting. Kibiger stated that young people, /sponsored by the local club, either travel to a foreign country or a foreign youth visits the United States. The program usually lasts for a period of six to eight weeks during the summer months. The program exists to “create and foster a spirit of understanding among the people of the world,” according to Kibiger, who is district chairman of the program. Kibiger then introduced Eric Jaroch, son of Mr. and Mrs.

Cornstarch 'capsules' keep pesticides out of ground water
By RUSSELL KANIUKA Pesticides that leach into groundwater may be significantly curbed by encapsulating the chemicals in cornstarch. U.S. Department of Agriculture scientists report that 12 years of testing show experimental starch-encapsulated pesticides are released so slowly that leaching is confined to the crop’s root zone. By contrast, when pesticides are sprayed, especially before

Jaroch offered insight into the Peruvian culture, describing the striking differences in the life styles between his host country and the U.S. Kibiger plans to present the program to an interested group of Wawasee High School students before the end of the year in hopes of enlarging the program to include the Wawasee school system.

heavy rain, they may percolate into shallow aquifers 4 or 5 feet down, said agronomist Marvin Schreiber, from USDA’s Agricultural Research Service. Heavy rains raise the risk of “preferential flow,” driving soluble chemicals to groundwater. “Preferential flow is a kind of short-circuiting in which water carrying any dissolved chemicals does not filter through soil as expected. Instead, the water enters a network of connected pores, bypasses large sections of soil

and flows toward groundwater,” he said. Ironically, the effects of this flow are more pronounced in finetextured clay soils, on which most crops are grown, than porous sandy soils, Schreiber said from his ARS laboratory at West Lafayette. Regardless of soil texture, he added, deep leaching is not a problem with starch-encapsulated herbicides. “The chemical application rates are much lower,” he said. “And starch encapsulation is approaching the weed fighter’s ideal of keeping most of the active chemical in the upper one inch of where the weed seeds are.” Chemist William Doane and colleagues at the agency’s Northern Regional Research Center, Peoria, 111., developed the new granular pesticides. According to Doane, pesticides can also be encapsulated for weed control off the farm, including uses for lawns, parks, golf courses and even aquatic weeds in ponds and watercourses. “There are thousands of pesticides,” Doane said. “Each one would have to be formulated separately because pesticides differ greatly in physical and chemical characteristics, and as to. where and how they are to be used. But we’-ve got the knowledge to get the job done.” (Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture)

It happened ... in Syracuse
10 YEARS AGO, OCT. 18,1978 Mike Jones, new basketball coach at Wawasee High School, completed his first basketball practice of the year Monday night early enough to appear before the Milford Lions club and expound on his philosophy of sports. More than that, he spoke on a new program at the school called ISS (In School Supervision) a federally-funded pilot program aimed at the “troubled student.” There are about 40 students in the program so far. The Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce is exerting positive community leadership in sponsoring a “Meet the Candidates Night” at the Wawasee High School Auditorium. Something new to a lot of people is the new stop sign at the corner of Pickwick Road and East Shore Drive. Coming from the east one comes upon the sign rapidly. “It will take a little getting used to” was the comment of one motorist as she drove past the sign and did a surprise double take. Little 22-month-old Andrew Thomas Miller was the “star” as he sat in the barber chair of barber Ed Harting in his Wawasee Village barber shop Saturday to receive his first hair : cut, to the wide-eyed wonderment of his mother, Becky Miller. Charlotte and Don Hayden, owners of Wawasee Airport, arrived home a week ago Monday and are still talking about a unique air show they saw during a nine-day trip to New Orleans and into old Mexico. They made the trip with Lowell and Gaye Farrand of Ligonier. Frank and (Jua)Nita Miller, having sold the popular Sleepy Owl on road 13 south of town, have plans to head for Florida, and later to visit friends in California in what they hope to make into a searching vacation. An ambitious duo, the well known couple will be looking for some sort of business in the fast food line to get into. 20 YEARS AGO, OCT. 16,1968 Syracuse may get its new Christmas decorations this year.

w EDUCATION The core of any quality educational program will always be the teacher. I believe that this is where the State of Indiana should concentrate its attention. Many people focus on the amount that teachers are paid, but I feel that the real issue is that the good teachers are underpaid and the bad ones are overpaid. We need to adopt a system, as other states have, that provides a means of rewarding the good teachers and weeding out the bad ones. I will work to develop a concept of education that focuses on the quality of education rather than the quantity of graduation.

Women’s club has funds to help with the project and we do need new decorations. Earl Money arrived home from a western hunting trip last Thursday p.m. sporting a heavy growth of beard. Mrs. M. took one look and said, “Ummm”, and that was the end of Earl’s beard. Syracuse Emerson Coy and Mary Williams (Burkholder Drug) received word they received a free trip to Florida. Seems they visited the Centreville (Mich.) fair recently, but someone entered their names for the Florida trip as “Mr. and Mrs. Emerson Coy of Syracuse. ” A Wawasee High School student is credited (?) with eating a live frog, and thereby winning a S3O bet with a number of fellow students. Ralph and Mary Lee Clingaman, always good for a joke, posted a regulation mail box on a telephone pole in front of their Lake Wawasee home. Only thing, it’s about 10 feet off the ground. It’s plainly marked: “Air Mail.” The Turkey Creek Senior Citizens met Thursday evening with Mrs. Agnes Stiffler, vice president, presiding. The reports were heard and Mrs. Helen Overstreet welcomed back. There will be just one meeting in November. It will be the Thanksgiving party on the 14th and will be a potluck dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Hinkle of Syracuse have gone to Bradenton, Fla., to spend the winter. 30 YEARS AGO, OCT. 16,1958 Rotary program last Monday evening was presented by Ken Harkless who showed pictures of some of the islands he visited last winter. The pictures were excellent and were thoroughly enjoyed by an unusually large attendance. Lewis Immel, appointed superintendent of Turkey Creek Township schools at a meeting of the school board 16 September, received a contract for a three year term at the regular meeting of the board Tuesday 7 October. At a special meeting called by the town board Tuesday night the proposed purchase of the Hoop-
ingarner property on Main Street was discussed. Decision to proceed with purchase action probably will be made at the next town board meeting 21 October, said Leon Connolly, town attorney. Seventeen members of the Wednesday afternoon club met at the home of Mrs. Paul Warner 8 October. Response to roll call with comments on fashions developed into an interesting and humorous part of the program. Mrs. Louise Connolly entertained the Ladies of the Round Table at their regular meeting Monday night at her home by presenting a style show and fashion forecast. Sportswear, evening dress, daytime costumes and accessories from Mrs. Connolly’s LaPetite Shoppe were modeled by Mrs. Hilary Bachman and Mrs. Nelle Sloan. 50 YEARS AGO, OCT 21,1938 Wade Zerbe caught two four-and-a-half bass while fishing on Syracuse Lake, Sunday. Blair Laughlin and family of Lake Wawasee have moved into the Harkless property on Lake Street.

Commissioners approve emergency response plan
I By KATE WOLFORD Staff Writer At a special meeting held on Monday, Oct. 17, the Kosciusko County Commissioners unanimously approved a Kosciusko County Local Emergency Response Plan. An overview of the plan was presented to the commissioners by Local Emergency Planning Committee Chairman Ed Purrington. Purrington cautioned that the plan would be under constant revision due to changes in companies that use, store and handle hazardous materials and changes in government standards concerning hazardous materials. While 60-65 companies have reported use so, far, that number will undoubtably change. The committee chairman said co-operation from local companies had been excellent. The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA — Title III), designated Oct. 17 as the last day for an adoption of a plan. As part of “Community Right to Know,” which is onb aspect of SARA, a list of hazardous materials used and stored locally will be available at the county health department.

Halloween pranks cause vandalism
Three incidents of vandalism and one theft were reported to Syracuse Police last week as the Halloween prank season began. Rick Martin, East Carroll Street, told police that someone had spray painted objects in the garage of his residence around 4:30 p.m. last Friday, Oct. 14. An estimate of damage was unavailable. Thornburg’s Drug Store, SR 13, reported that an offender broke six eight-foot long florescent bulbs on the south side of the building sometime between Friday, Oct. 14, and Saturday morning, Oct. 15. The lights were valued at sls each. Police investigated a theft at the Paul Newcomer residence on Branch Street after Newcomer
Prenatal classes
Kosciusko Community Hospital is offering its next prenatal class beginning Wednesday, Nov. 7. This seven-week class is designed to prepare the expectant mother and her labor partner for the birth of their child. Prenatal exercises, relaxation techniques and care of the newborn are some of the topics covered. The next class will run for seven Wednesday from November 7 through December 19 from 7-9 p.m. Classes are held in the administrative classrooms at KCH. A fee is charged for this class; a reduced fee is available if necessary. A daytime class may be offered if there are sufficient numbers of Open house for Tucker A large crowd attended an open house Sunday, Oct. 16, at Wawasee Golf Club for H. Dale Tucker, Democratic candidate for the 18th district State Representative. Property rights and what is happening were the main topics discussed during the event. Such areas as the need of a permit to clean a ditch, clean drainage tile in a field and other areas were broughtup.
A copy of the new plan will be sent to the state Emergency Response Commission for review. This commission will not reject or approve the plan, only make recommendations. Purrington told the commissioners that it would not be necessary for them to reapprove the plan in the face of the expected ongoing changes. He added that the commissioners would only need to take this step if changes were made in the actual emergency plan or if laws were changed. In the event of an actual hazardous wastes emergency, first responders would likely contact the local civil defense department. It is that department who would decide if evacuation were necessary. Commissioner Ed Creighton asked who would determine “an incident.” Purrington replied that company employees or the first responders themselves, such as firemen could make the initial decision. If the incident involved materials spilled during transport, the first responders themselves, using available information, would make the initial determination. Purrington asked to step down from his post, declining to name a replacement while at the meeting. He did agree, however, to stay on the committee.
no decision has been made concerning the exact make up of the septic tanks to be placed on the properties. The tanks are still in the design phase. It was noted that it is important to obtain all the easements needed on the project before construction bids are advertised. The next meeting of the group will be Monday, Nov. 21, at 7:30 p.m., in the town hall.
