Editorial

Solution to Syracuse sludge at standstill Some wayward waste continues to waft while waiting for a willing person to determine its fate. Not a very poetic site, the waste may be “seeping over the edges of the sludge barn" if a solution isn’t found soon, according to superintendent Ron Helman. While farmers in Southern Indiana revel at such sites, welcoming the sludge in mass quantity, local farmers are turning their chins upward, fearing the stink it would cause with their neighbors. While honoring thy neighbor is commendable, farmers may be wise to turn the other cheek this one time. While accepting a specified quantity of Syracuse sludge may cause an initial stink (in more ways than one), it would cause even greater return — gratitude from the town and a healthy fertilized soil next spring. Afterall, some of the sludge the farmers receive may be from the very neighbors who are complaining. While Helman noted that the town could buy some land with the predetermined agreement that it be used as a dumping ground for the sludge, this option would dig into the taxpayers’ pockets. Another option may find the sludge hauled further south, but that also costs money. While Helman recently applied for a land application permit to dump the sludge, he was turned down for 3 third time. He obtained permits to haul the sludge to area landfills as a backup plan, but the landfills are reaching capacity and turn away such offers. The farmers seem to hold the best solution. Approximately 20 acres would "get the department back into shape," Helman said at the last Syracuse Town Council meeting. It’s hard to imagine there not being 20 acres between Syracuse farmers who are willing to help the town while helping themselves in the process. Just send your neighbors a few clothespins for their noses — they’ll never know the difference. In demand — volunteers who care Expanding its services to solicit more participation from the Milford-Syracuse-North Webster area, the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program of Kosciusko County hopes to provide an office for the lakes community in the near future. Such facility will help the organization more easily serve those children and volunteers in northeastern Kosciusko County. Organized as an outreach program of the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Greater Fort Wayne, the Kosciusko County organization is currently based in Warsaw. However, a growing number of children who remain on a waiting list for matches in Milford. Syracuse and North Webster warrant a local office. Director Mary Gerard points out that such office space may be “just the corner of a room in a grocery store" if that’s all that is available. Office hours will be maintained for one day a week, with a caseworker available to facilitate matches and help with problems. The lakes community is usually receptive tb such causes and we have no reason to believe that it won’t help facilitate this organization. However, volunteers to act as Big Brothers and Big Sisters who care are the real need. Over the years, the hardest group for the organization to match has been adolescent youths between the ages of 13 and 17. Many “would be” volunteers feel that satisfying friendships cannot be formed because of the influences of peer relationships. On the contrary, a Big Brother or Big Sister for an adolescent boy or girl could be that one influence that finally sets a positive course and direction in his or her life. The need is for an understanding, communicative relationship with an adult who respects the youth as an individual. The potential Big Brother or Big Sister is someone who can relax, be himself or herself and enjoy spending time with a teen. Hopefully, with a localized office, such Big Brothers and Big Sisters will surface in Milford, Syracuse and North Webster. Which cereal? Consumer Reports, the magazine which tests and reports on various products, has tested breakfast cereals. If you’re wondering what cereal to try next, with the new varieties on the market, results might be of interest. The testers list eight ready-to-eat cereals and nine hot cereals which they found to have more than their calories’ share of fiber, high protein content, and little sugar and fat. The eight ready-to-eats: Nabisco Shredded Wheat, Fiber One, Cheerios, Nutri-Grain, Quaker Puffed Wheat, Shredded Wheat Spoon Size, Uncle Sam and Nabisco Shredded Wheat and Bran. Os these Fiber One and Uncle Sam contain the most fiber, most of it insoluble. The nine hot cereals rated best are: Wheatena, Quaker Extra, Oat Bran, Quaker Oatmeal, Quaker Oats. Quaker Oat Bran, Total Oatmeal, H-0 Oats’n Fiber, and Quick Quaker Oats. All of the nine contain three to five grams of fiber per serving, and, other than Wheatena, the fiber is mainly soluble, from oats. Most families, it s said, have more than one cereal available, many four to five. And so, if you favorite cereal isn’t a top-rated one, vary your choice but include one of the most nutritious regularlv. Relax and laugh Modern life has increasing complications, proceeds at a rapid pace. The human body and mind is called upon to adjust itself to a faster and faster tempo. Bewilderment, as problems require a solution, worry and anxiety over success or failure is common. The steady strain of business, in an effort to acquire more and have every available comfort, adds to the nervous strain. High tension is taking a heavy toll of professional men. Probably the best antidote for strain is a relaxed sense of humor. There are many things in life one can laugh about whether he wins or loses, succeeds or fails. To do so means a longer life and a better chance to reverse one’s errors.

What others say —

Governor did right thing Vie hope Governor Bayh sticks by his guns and keeps the abto license branches out of the lottery business by shooting down the lottery director’s idea of how to push more tickets. The Governor apparently believes as a lot of Hoosiers do that the lottery should take its own chances without being hawked and promoted by state offices and employees. Just imagine what it would be like come the end of a month if license branches could sell lottery tickets. If you think lines are long now, what would it be like if motorists had to stand in a long line behind lottery junkies in order to get rid of their hard-earned money to pay license fees and excise taxes. Let the Lottery Director earn his bonus the old fashion way— by working — without state involvement. — HENDRICKS COUNTY GUIDE-GAZETTE

TRAVELING UP from Boaz. Ala., were Fay Medlock’s mom, Minnie Morrison, and sister and husband, Zelma and Ed Minor. Fay operates The Country Duck from her home on SR 13.
