Milford's Main Street

VISITING IN the home of Don and Monica Bice of Milford are their son, Navy Lieutenant Carl (Buddy) Bice and his fiancee, Penny Bohanan. They will be returning to Jacksonville, Fla., this Friday, following their 10-day visit with members of the Bice family. Lt. Bice (still known to many in his hometown as Buddy) recently returned to Mayport, Fla., after a six-month extended deployment aboard the USS Forrestal. During this time, the Forrestal operated in the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, the Norwegian Sea, the Mediterrean Sea, Red Sea, Indian Ocean, the North Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Omahn. At one point, the USS Forrestal spent 108 continuous days at sea as the ship’s operations varied from providing air escort for convoys in the Straights of Hormuz to multi-carrier, multi-national exercises north of the Arctic Circle. Last month, Lt. Bice was the recipient of his second Navy Achievement Medal — this latest award presented him for superior performance of his duties as assistant strike operations office onboard the USS Forrestal. —o— OWNER OF Milford Shoe and Clothing Store, Eldred Mabie, has announced his plans to close his store on Main Street by Christmas. He says sales have been good since a, sale began at the store last week. As for the future of the building, there could be some possible buyers for it, or Mabie may just rent it out. —o— AND, MILFORD area

Pletcher receives 20 years for killing Lawrence Bailey _

By DEB PATTERSON Staff Writer

“I would like to apologize to Mr. Bailey’s family for the troubles and grief I have caused them and I would like to apologize to my family and friends for the troubles and grief I have caused them,” commented Gary Lamar Pletcher, 20, Goshen, before he was sentenced to 20 years at the Indiana Department of Corrections and 10 years probation, last Thursday. The Kosciusko Superior Courtroom was filled with friends and family of Pletcher as well as family members of Lawrence Bailey, 44, Goshen, who was shot by Pletcher in April. Pletcher entered a plea of guilty to voluntary manslaughter with a deadly weapon, cla«’ A felony, following a pl®* bargaining agreement on October 5. He was originally arrested and charged with murder. Superior Court Judge Robert Burner ordered the sentence to be split explaining that with good

residents can look for another Main Street business to change hands around the middle of the month. We’ll have full details at that time. DAVE AND Carolyn (Rapp) Elliott and daughters, Renee, 9M> and Robin, eight, are presently residing in the Milford home of Darrell and Evelyn Orn while the Or ns spend the winter in Florida. The Elliotts recently moved back to this area after living in Morrow, Ohio, and are anticipating the completion of their new home at Lake Wawasee early next spring. Carolyn is the daughter of Marvin and Lea trice Rapp of Milford. LOCAL RUNNERS competed in two different running events — the Chicago Marathon and the Sportsmed 10K in South Bend — last Sunday. Finishing with a time of 3:14 in the Chicago Marathon, Tony Clouse, Milford Junior High social studies teacher, completed his 24th marathon and also qualified for next year’s Boston Marathon. Clouse and his running buddies, Jim Garner (Syracuse), Joe Dervin, Clair Hostetler and Randy Miller (all of Goshen), were among the 8,000 marathon competitors as they ran the 26.2 miles in excellent running weathehof 40 degrees. Among the 1,039 runners competing in the Sportsmed 10K run were Milford Junior High science teacher Rich Bender, Bill Haab, Jeff Long, and Greg Weisser. Weisser received a bronze medal for placing in the top 18 in the men’s 25-29 age group.

time credit, Pletcher could be out of jail in 10 years. “There is no way I can mitigate this sentence because of the severity of the crime. In reviewing the presentence report ... I find four sure occasions when you could have avoided what happened,” stated Judge Burner. “I cannot bring Mr. Bailey back ... I only hope your life is not destroyed,” noted Judge Burner advising Pletcher to take advantage of his opportunities while in prison to make the most of his life.” A class A felony carries a 20- to 50-year sentence. Apologies from Pletcher’s parents, Ernest and Karen Pletcher, were offered to. the family. “We do love an “ do believe in wm. We 11 stand beside /I,m through all this ... I did have the opportunity to meet and talk with Mrs. Bailey. She is a gracious and loving lady who helped me get through this,” commented Mrs. Pletcher. Vern Landis, Pletcher’s attorney, asked the judge to mitigate the sentence to 20 years, because of his client’s age and

Participating in the Sportsmed 4K fitness walk were Fred and Diane Weisser.

ON TUESDAY, Nov. 15, the Milford PTO will be sponsoring a parent seminar on self esteem entitled “Developing a Winning Attitude in Kids — How Can We Help?” The speaker will be Kevin Caird.

The seminar will be held at 7 p.m. in the Milford cafeteria.

ANOTHER LETTER from Berniece Dwyer of North Main Street has arrived in The M-J, editorial department from Hawaii. She states, “The sign on the door of a Waikiki church reads, ‘dress decently, please.’ It has been my observation that this is needed where American or Mainland tourists are present. It is only the American tourist who sheds his/her clothes upon arrival in Hawaii. “The Asian, Australian or New Zealand tourist is appropriately dressed for the street, shopping or restaurant. And the Hawaiian is always fully clothed. It would be well for the tour companies to include in their instructions that beach attire should be restricted to the beach. “A tourist approached me one day as I was sitting at a bus stop to inquire as to which bus to take to a particular place, prefacing her inquiry with the remark that I looked as if I lived there. I wondered why she thought I was a resident and concluded that it was because I was wearing some clothes. The old adage that clothes do a great deal for a person is still valid but not remembered by many Mainland tourists when they are sightseeing in Hawaii.”

noting that Pletcher’s attitude has changed since his arrest in April. “He has come to grip with the situation and reality of what happened and what he faces. He feels remorse and regrets deeply what happens and to the time he vail have in prison to improve himself to come out with a skill and better education . . . because of his age circumstances, he deserves that opportunity,” stated Landis. The attorney noted that it would be a tragedy for -Fletcher to be imprisoned sf ro pg that he not be able tn-unction in society. nelp alleviate the tragedy that has occurred, give him an opportunity later in life to show back the confidence shown in him by friends and family was worthwhile,” said Landis. Pletcher was arrested April 18, for the April 12 murder of Bailey at the North Shore Drive, Syracuse, home of Bailey’s mother. Bailey died of multiple gun shots to the head and upper body.

Red Cross under 'code yellow'

The American Red Cross Blood Services, Fort Wayne Region, of which Kosciusko County is a partner, is still under a “Code Yellow” for the blood supply. Shortages continue to be a daily problem and since there are over 3,000 blood donors in Kosciusko County, the Red Cross is trying its best to provide sufficient blood from this area to assist in making the supply ample again for the hospitals. Recently, a bloodmobile was held in Maranatha Chapel and the community responded with 79 presenters, with the goal of 75 units being met. There were four first time donors and the following persons received recognition: Emmon Yoder, five gallons; Lonnie Hochstetler, three gallons; Darlene Conrad and Lyle Borkholder, two gallons; Levi Mast, Carol Schwartz, Eva Burkholder and Lorene Schmucker, one gallon. Eli Yoder, Jr., received his Quarterly Club pin for giving four units in the past year. Last week, the self-contained bloodmobile unit visited United Telephone in Warsaw. Thirty persons presented themselves to fulfill the goal of 25 units. Six persons were deferred for medical reasons, and the total units collected were 24. These great efforts are greatly appreciated and every unit helps to alleviate the shortage in the blood supply. Any business or community interested in hosting a bloodmobile should call the Red Cross office, 267-5244. American Red Cross is a participating United Way agency.
