money will be used for new equipment. AREA SERVICE stations will soon face the question of whether an added operating cost is going to outweigh eventual profits, with the Environmental Protection Agency adding regulations that will affect several businesses January 1. The EPA has set some guidelines for stations to follow to be in accordance with its federal registry. One such guideline may require the alteration of underground tanks, accounting for several costly changes. While many registry changes have already gone into effect, several more will take place next year. Bruce Hunsberger of Bruce’s Marathon noted that “some upgrading" will have to take place at his business on SR 15 in Milford. "Lord willing, we want to continue to sell (gasoline),” he said. However, Ruch Service, located on the west side of SR 15, is reserving any decisions on how to handle the changes. “We haven’t really decided yet,” said owner Bob Ruch, who noted that ■ “quite a few changes” would have to be made. He hopes to make a decision on whether to fund those changes later this month. Several service stations in Syracuse and North Webster are also grappling with the logistics of maintaining gasoline service, delaying any final decisions as long as possible. —o— GIRL SCOUT Troops are back in Milford. For the first time in at least four years. Milford will soon have three active Girl Scout troops. Becky Bohnstedt and Brenda Sherer will be leaders for the Daisy and first grade Brownie Troops. Meetings have been set for Thursdays from 3:30-4:30 p.m., in the Milford School Cafeteria. Cindy Vanlaningham and Deb Patterson will be the leaders for the second and third grade Brownie Troop. Meetings for this group have been set for Monday evenings, from 6:30-7:30 p.m , in Lakeland Loving Child Care Center. Rita Doss will be leading the Junior Troop. No meetings have been set at this time.

fl .' /&**• ■ DRIVER ESCAPES INJURY — According to Larry Yadon, driver of the semi involved in this accident, the seriousness of the collision could have been a lot worse if he had not attempted to swerve to the left to avoid the car, driven by Opal Nicolai of Milford. Both Yadon of Boyceville. Wise., and Nicolai were westbound on US 6. Nicolai said that as she approached the intersection of US 6 and SR 13. she prepared to make a left turn onto SR 13 with her turn signal on. Yadon claimed he did not observe a turn signal but only noticed the Nicolai vehicle stopped in the roadway. As she attempted to turn, the semi broadsided her car. Witnesses Tim Spurlock. Kenneth Lasley, and Stan Hershberger, all of Goshen, told police they were heading north on SR 13 stopped at the US 6 intersection. Yadon added that if he would have passed the Nicolai vehicle on the right, chances are he would have smashed into the truck the three boys were riding in. No injuries were reported in the accident which occurred Thursday around 2 p.m. (Photo by Stacey Lesch)

it K® i 1 DR. ROGER THORNTON Wawasee School Superintendent

Dr. Thornton answers questions for Lions

Dr. Roger Thornton, Wawasee Community School Corporation superintendent, presented facts and figures to the Milford Lions on Monday evening and then opened the session to questions and answers. The superintendent stressed the fact that a number of interesting things are taking place in the school district on a day to day basis, and issued an invitation to the Lions to give the corporation's principals a call and set up a time to visit the schools. Thornton said 95 percent of the students are in the classroom daily with many of the students taking tough classes and trying to learn as much as they can learn. Enrollment, he said, is down this year. There were 270 some seniors at Wawasee last year. This year the largest class has 220 students. However, in three years, if the corporation just keeps the students it has now, the enrollment at the high school will top the 1,020 mark. He noted that in 1950 only 50 percent of the students who began classes graduated. In the 1980 s that figure is at 75 percent. “We still have a number of kids who don’t finish," he said, “but it's a much smaller number.” Dropouts, he continued, are serious business. "The problem with those kids is they have no place to go. They need that high school diploma and higher technology orientation if possible to enter the work force." He talked briefly about the AIMS program, which is in operation in Warsaw, to help those who have dropped out of high school. The Alternative Instructional Methods School allows dropouts to arrange their own schedule and progress at their own rate while obtaining a high school diploma. The superintendent told the Lions that this year the Chapter I program funds, some $150,000, are being used to make sure that students leaving the second grade can read. Chapter I funds are to be used for the deprived, lower income and lower achieving students. He complimented Karen Parr on the “super job” she is doing with the SOAP program. This Substance Abuse Outreach Assistance program takes the students who have been caught selling or are in possession of drugs in school out of the classroom but allows them to go to school every day. Classes are held in the Syracuse Town Hall. Thornton said 12 students were expelled last year for drug use. State of the art equipment, as good as you can get. has been added to the industrial arts department at the high school this year with school officials meeting with both Dana and CTB personnel in hopes of doing a better job with those kids who do not want to go to college but want to stay in the community and enter the work force. Food for Poland BRUSSELS, Belgium — The United States has pledged SSO million in additional food aid to Poland to help ease shortages caused by the government's moves toward a free-market economy.

“The Quest program that you’re all about is one we can’t thank you enough about,” he told the Lions. “It’s impacting kids.” He also touched on student safety and acknowledged Virgil Zimmerman for his cooperation in selling the school the strip of land for the walkway at Milford and said the school corporation is working on sidewalks to be installed from Syracuse to the high school. Questions. Answers Thornton then opened the meeting up for questions. His reply to why the school corporation is paying for the walkway in Milford instead of the town was the simple fact of dollars and cents. The school corporation has a cumulative building fund for such projects. The town does not. Either way, the taxpayers are the ones paying the bill. He reported the software being used in the new computerized equipment in the industrial arts department is the same as is being used at Dana and CTB. Asked if the middle school being built was what he had in mind he said, “The middle school being build is larger than either of the schools would have been. We’re taking some real strong steps to try and handle some of the shortcomings we thought a larger setting might have.” It now appears, he said, about half of the current Milford students will go to the new school when it opens. Answering a question on the Carnegie Council report about ,education, he said the new school "fits in very well. ” In the elementary schools, Thornton said, one teacher teaches most of what a student learns. When a student gets to the sixth or seventh grade, he or she has to go to six different people to get that and none of the teachers knows what the other is doing.' “This school will be organized so the same five-six teachers will have the same 150 kids. Those people will meet daily in terms of planning and communicating about those kids.” ’ The new school, Thornton said, will try to reconnect home and school. Questioned about Milford students, he said the school corporation has done everything it knows to let the “parents make the choice.” With 80-100 students being left at the Milford school when the new middle school opens, the corporation can “handle the curriculum and keep it at least at the level it is now.” Thornton said the questions he is getting now are, “What about football? What about basketball? What about . . . ? What about. . . ? These,” he said, “are tough issues to deal with. We’re going to do the best we can." He, then, tried to explain the fact th while elementary schools in the corporation are the same, the junior high schools are not. Size, he said, makes the difference. He, then, used the band program, productions, and foreign languages as examples. In answer to the possibility of a building program in the future at Wawasee, he said the school board approved a study of the facility, population and finance for the high school. The report should be ready by early December. At the present time, there are around 900 students in the high school. Room utilization now is close to 95 percent. The school has to have more space, with the projected 1,020 students there in three years there is no room for growth. Questioned about the corporation’s readiness program he explained it is a transitional program between kindergarten and the first grade and has nothing to do with intelligence. It has to do with “readiness to learn." He said schools are finding this number growing with close to 16-17 percent of the students in that age level now in the readiness program. They are a year older when they graduate, he said, but they are ready to learn
