It happened . . . in Milford
10 YEARS AGO, FEB. 7,1979 “I just like to serve people, I’ve done it all my life and I’d be lost without something to do,” commented Agnes Hurd, general office manager at Dr. J. W. Zehr’s Small Animal Clinic, Milford. Mrs. Hurd has been working since 1941 when she was a bookkeeper for Sharp Hardware Co., Milford. She was asked why she
They fish on frozen water
ByCARLHEPLER Conservation Officer
Winter time is probably my favorite season. Finally the cold weather brings snow, and the fridged temperatures put inches of ice on the ponds and lakes. I feel a calling that my father enjoyed taking long hours to instill in me. It’s ice fishing time again! Fishing through the ice is trying at times, with wind blowing and cold weather leaving fingers and body parts wondering what your doing. But that first fish makes it all worth while. Looking out on the lake, I notice a group of fishermen huddled together on the ice. That tell tale sign that the panfish are biting. I grab my icefishing box, jiggle poles, ice auger, and a good supply of bait and I’m off. It’s a race now, I’ve got the fishing bug. I’ll use light line, a special sensitive pole and my secret colored jiggle hook. Thoughts of filling my plastic bag with nice bluegill race around in my head. I cut a six inch hole in the ice with my auger, then dip out the remaining ice pieces with my dipper. Using a weight clipped to my hook, I lower it to the lake bottom . This shows the water depth at 11 feet. Now the fun begins. I bait up with a favorite bait, a beemoth, and lower my offering to a depth of nine feet. I begin jiggling rhythm, working the bast slowly up and down. Suddenly the bobber dances on the water then slowly starts to sink beneath the surface. A swift flip of the wrist and a fish is on. Now the pole and line, with me attached, are up and down moving with the fish. I work what I hope is a nice fish to the hole, then it slides out onto the ice. My first fish of the ice fishing season, a fat nine inch bluegill. It is possible to catch many kinds of fish through the ice. Bluegills, perch, redear, and crappie often bite on beemoth, mousies, spike, or wigglers. A good light jiggle pole with either a bobber or tight lining is popular. Also a good jiggle hook can make or break your fishing. Perch, crappie, bass, and pike can be caught on different sizes of minnows and fishing equipment. Ice fishing lures, such as jiggling rapalas or Swedish pimples, may also produce good results. Ice fishing is not without risks. Many fishermen each year venture out on the ice and fall through. Some are able to climb out to be rescued by a partner, some are less fortunate. I don't go out unless there is at least two inches of good ice. This means, frozen hard! Two inches of ice after warm temperatures and rain will be in a weakened condition and may not be safe. Other injuries while ice fishing may result by falling on the ice, cutting your hand on the auger bit, frost bite, or getting a hook in the finger. I’ve seen it all! Covering up that auger blade can save
Dußois attends convention Julie Dußois of Sunrise Photography, North Webster, recently attended the 1989 annual convention of the Professional Photographers of Indiana in Indianapolis. Over 400 photographers from Indiana and many from out of state attended and competed in print competition judged by nationally recognized “Masters of Photography.” Prints were reviewed by the five judges for their technical excellence, composition, and lighting. The resulting exhibit was an example of outstanding photography. Six photographs made by Dubois were judged and accepted for exhibition at the convention. Only the very best prints entered attain this honor from the critical scrutiny of the judges. There were only six gold awards awarded in the State of Indiana, and her picture entitled "Breakout” won a gold award.

didn’t retire to spend her winter months in a warm climate. Her comment was “It’s much more fun to stay here in the seasons. Here is where my family and friends are.” Smith’s Flower & Gift Shop, 506 W. Section St., Milford, opened its doors Monday. The shop, open Monday through Saturday, features silk and dried flower ar-
some cuts. Wearing warm clothes, such as a snowmobile suit, heavy gloves, mickey mouse boots, or snowmobile boots are a must to protect you from the cold. Many people use ice fishing houses. This is the best way to keep warm and enjoy the sport. I have seen some shanty’s equipped to live in with stove, chairs, TV’s, and a snack and drink bar. Ice fishermen should remember to read the fishing regulations before going out. One of my pet peeves is finding trash and small caught fish on the ice. Besides being against the law (littering, and wanton-waste), it gives sportsmen a bad name. What is wanton-waste? This law states that you must include even small fish in your bag limit if caught and needlessly killed. Don’t leave them on the ice, keep them or return them to the water. Here are some laws that ice fishermen should be familiar With. Name and address on tip-ups. Name and address on ice shanties, also reflectors on all four sides. Wanton-waste. Bag limit on fish: Northern pike (three), bass (six), redears (25), crappie (25), bluegill and perch (nolimit). Size limit: Northern pike (20 inches), muskellunge (30 inches), Jarge mouth bass (14 inches on 'the following lakes: Big Chapman, Little Chapman, Beaver Dam, Caldwell, Palestine Lake, and the lakes and ponds on TriCounty Fish & Wildlife Area). This time of year is very dangerous for ice fishing, so use good common sense when venturing out on the ice. Most lakes are not safe at this time. Several people have already found out the hard way, So be careful and have a good and safe ice fishing season.

To Syracuse — H & R Block expands Rapid Refund Service
Merlyn Schrock, owner of H&R Block, Syracuse, announces that Syracuse has been selected as one of the locations for introduction of H&R Block's Rapid Refund service during the 1989 tax season. Rapid Refund is Block’s refund anticipation loan program using electronic filing. Block introduced electronics filing four .years ago in two cities. In 1988, it was available in 1,579 companyowned and franchised offices. During the 1989 tax filing season, it will be available in approximately one-half of Block’s more than 7,000 United States offices. "Rapid Refund is revolutionizing the way people file their returns,” says Schrock. "Rapid Refund transmits tax returns eleetfonically to the Internal Rev-enue Service. Qualified tax preparation clients and nonclients can pay an additional fee to receive a loan advance on their refund. The loan advance arrives a few days after their return is electronically filed with

the IRS. The IRS processes the electronically filed return, then deposits the taxpayer’s refund in an account the client has established with a participating bank, thereby settling the loan. Filing this way reduces considerably the amount of time it takes for taxpayers to receive their money.” Last year, 479,300 taxpayers filed their tax returns using Block’s Rapid Refund service. They represented 82.2 percent of all United States returns filed electronically during the 1988 tax season. “Rapid Refund is an important service both to Block clients and to those who prepare their own returns or who have

another individual prepare them,” says Schrock. The IRS developed electronic filing to improve the efficiency of its service. Taxpayers who do not qualify for a refund anticipation loan can still elect to have Block electronically transmit their returns. This can shorten the time it takes the IRS to process a tax return by up to three weeks. Thus, taxpayers could expect to receive their refund checks up to three weeks sooner. “Block has considerably expanded and enhanced its Rapid Refund program,” said Schrock. “We are delighted to be able to offer Syracuse area taxpayers this service during the 1989 tax season.”
