It is open for ages 6 through high school. The camp runs for eight Saturdays until their performance held August 12 at 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. The play is entitled “Summer Capers 1989,” which uses material from Margo Thomas’ “Free to Be . . . You and Me,” and other plays. Jerry explained, “Previous summers the kids have just observed rehearsals and plays, whereas this year they are actually learning by helping with costumes, sets, etc. and putting on a performance. There are four workshops where the children will have classes in acting, directing, technical aspects, voice, and dance, which will be incorporated into their actual play.” THE CALVARY United Methodist Church recently honored Bob Jones for having served as adult choir director for 25 years. There are several choir members who have been singing in choir for almost 30 years: Allen Shively, Lillian Disher, Priscilla Juday, Shirley Bobeck, Dorothy Thomas, and Marlene Pollock. These folks began singing in the old Calvary Evangelical United Brethren Church on Benton and Harrison, then moved to the new building on SR 13 South in 1961 when Calvary E.U.B. united with the Methodist Church. Back in the choir since retiring and moving to Bonar Lake in 1984 are Rev. Kenneth Foulke, former pastor of the Calvary E.U.8., and his wife, Elinor, who used to direct the choir there. RUMORS THAT the Bill Pipp property next to Fish and Fun was sold are “106 percent incorrect,” according to Joe Todd, Todd Realty.

'An outrage' Senator Dan

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Dan Coats issued the following statement following the Senate’s 97-3 vote on the Flag Desecration Resolution. The Desecration Resolution was offered following the Supreme Court’s ruling that Americans have the Constitutional right to burn the United States flag under the First Amendment. Coats voted with the majority: I can still vividly recall the outrage.l felt when I first saw television reports of chanting Iranian students burning the American flag during the hostage crisis. So there was a depressing irony to reading of the Supreme Court’s creation of a Constitutional right to commit just that kind of act. The case they decided began with a protest at the Republican National Convention in J 984. In front of city hall, a protester doused the American flag with kerosene and set it aflame while several dozen others chanted, “America, the red, white and blue, we spit on you.” Letter to the editor Rotary Bike-a-thon a big success Dear Editor: The Syracuse-Wawasee Rotary Bike-a-thon on Saturday, May 6, according to the final report, was a huge success. More than eighty riders, young and adult, were in--volved as they rode for'themselves, for supporting businesses and civic organizations. One third of the profits was delegated to the Syracuse Library, one third to a civic organization of the rider’s choice and one third to the SyracuseWawasee Rotary Club to be used for other community projects. All Rotary Club members, businesses who supported riders, the riders and the community are to be commended for their support of this civic project. Dr. Richard Brungardt, chairman of the Rotary Bike-a-thon, is to be congratulated on his organization and leadership of this successful community event.

or service location, on the north edge of North Webster. Long purchased a parcel of land in the town limit, just south of Lake City Bank on the west side of SR 13 in North Webster. Logan-Rogers Realty, Syracuse, was responsible for the real estate transaction. According to Long, construction is scheduled to begin in mid-October on one of two buildings that will total 5,140 square feet. These buildings will house offices and be used for warehousing. Plans are to move into the new facilities by next spring. Even though most of the business operations will be moving to North Webster, Long will not close the office that is in his Lake Wawasee home. This will become the administrative location and computer center for the business. Long noted this will allow the company to increase the number of employees from 16 to 24. “The reason we picked this area, we see a lot of future growth in the Barbee Chains and Warsaw, north to Goshen,” commented Long, who added the new location is centrally located. Ace Pest Control has been operating out of the Long home since June 24, 1971. The business was started in 1937 by Long’s father, Howard E. Long, Sr. It was a one-man operation until 1969. For the last two years. Red’s son, Greg has been general manager. SPORTS FANS of the Minnesota Vikings recognized a familiar face on the greens of South Shore Golf Club Sunday.

This kind of desecration provokes strong, justly emotional reactions. It is not that Americans are insecure. We do not blindly follow traditions. But we do care deeply about symbols — particularly that one symbol of ideas and values for which men and women have sacrificed and died in every generation. To desecrate the flag, I believe, is to desecrate their memory and make light of their sacrifice. There is a type of patriotism that is held so deeply that it finds expression in concrete things like a patriot’s crippled body — or i bits of colored cloth. For men who have risked death in service of a flag it is more than just a symbol, it is sacrifice you can hold in your hand — or trample underfoot in contempt. Men and women who we ask to die for a flag have a right to expect that flag to be respected by those who benefit from their sacrifice. It is part of the compact we make with those who will serve. And, until this decision, it was the law in 48 states — as well as the United States Code. Tolerance is an important thing in a free and diverse society. Agreement must never be a prerequisite for civility. But tolerance can never be rooted in the view that nothing is worth our outrage because nothing is worth our sacrifice. We must defend freedom, but we must never adopt a cowardly disdain that strips us of patriotic conviction and dulls our ability to be offended by the desecration of vital symbols. I join with Chief Justice Rehnquist in criticizing this misguided decision which, he notes, “found that the American flag is just

another symbol, about which not only must opinions pro and con be tolerated, but for which the most minimal public respect may not be enjoined. The government may conscript men into the armed forces where they must fight and die for the flag, but the government may not prohibit the public burning of the banner under which they fight.” This is an outrage.

General assembly votes support for small business owners

Indiana small business owners got a vote of confidence from their legislators in the 1989 General Assembly, as lawmakers supported a variety of initiatives affecting the small business community. “The General Assembly enacted several excellent measures that will help the business climate, and encourage business development,” explained Edward J. Bowman, director of the National Federation of Independent Business/Indiana, the state’s largest small business organization. Bowman noted that the “Taxpayer Bill of Rights,” insurance reform and deregulation of workers compensation insurance were among the key legislative matters passed this session. “An important victory for small business owners, as well as the citizens of Indiana, was the enactment of Taxpayer Bill of Rights legislation,” Bowman said. “Indiana has become only the second state in the country to adopt this forward-looking legislation that provides significant protection for taxpayers’ rights, property and privacy. In addition, it will result in better treatment of taxpayers while fostering a more professional tax administration.” Also enacted was legislation requiring insurance companies to report premium income and payouts for certain types of in-

surance, such as product liability and recreational liability coverage. This measure will give businesses more information when selecting insurance policies, according to Bowman, and provide additional information for future insurance and tort reforms by the state. “Significantly lower premium costs for workers compensation insurance will be the effect of deregulating this coverage, another law enacted by the 1989 General Assembly,” Bowman said. “Small business strongly supported this legislation because it will give greater flexibility to business owners as well as cost savings of 10 to 25 percent,” explained the NFIB/Indiana state director. In addition to these three key issues, Bowman noted that legislators agreed with the concerns of small business owners and did not enact several proposed laws that would have adversely affected business opportunities. “Government mandates for doubling the state’s minimum wage, parental leave and a highly-restrictive plant closing measure were defeated," stated Bowman. “Each of these would have put severe restrictions on all businesses throughout the state, with the harshest effects being felt by small business owners.”
