SPEAKS ON BENEFITS OF MIDDLE SCHOOL — On January 22, Arnie Karr, right, introduced Larry DeWeese, left, principal of Wawasee Middle School, when the Lakeland Kiwanis Club of North Webster met. A native of Nashville. Tenn., DeWeese spoke on the benefits of a middle school, to meet the needs of students "in the middle," caught between the dependency of children and the responsibilities of young adults. With changing mental, social, and physical needs (puberty has moved forward from age 16 to about age 11). they just don't “fit" elsewhere. Major components of this school will be: 1 > advisory program, one on one with each student; 2) interdisciplinary team-teaching-teachers will come together, combining their subjects so students will catch the relationship between math and science, etc.; 3) block scheduling, allowing teaching teams to allot different time patterns when needed; 4) balanced instruction, emphasizing academics first.

January is a time for planning

January 1990 has come and gone, thank goodness. Weatherwise, January was more comfortable than normal. People don’t seem to become so “weather weary” when they aren’t inundated with snow and blasted by zero and sub-zero temperatures. This reporter had great plans for the month of January. It was to be the time closets got cleaned, furniture moved, the kitchen painted and drawers got dumped out and cleaned. I’m not sure what happened. So far, the only thing accomplished is that a few articles of clothing that are no longer used have been tossed over the back of a chair in the den. Hubby was to start building storage cupboards down one wall of the den in January. He has the plans drawn and most of the lumber on hand. I’m not sure what happened. The cupboards should be nearly finished by now. January is the month we try to do all the things we don’t want to bother with the rest of the year. It makes a person feel more organized when tasks are planned and carried out on time and with regularity. Fooler the Cat is due for his yearly shots in January. So far, he has managed to keep this reporter distracted to the point I keep forgetting. January is the month we get our yearly physicals. For some reason, I got mine in December, and Hubby is just now scheduling his. January is the month we try to decide when and where we will go on vacation, if we go. We’ve discussed vacation spots located north, south, east and west. This year, since we are a family of history buffs, our conversation keeps coming back to Williamsburg, Va. We were there over 20 years ago, and have always wanted to go back. January is the month we take inventory of the things we will need, or need to do, around the place this summer. Hubby has announced that we can no longer put off buying a new lawn mower. The house must be painted, a large dead tree in the-side yard must come down, it is time to replace the cushions on the back

at the home of Pat Friddle, Barbee Lake. Time was spent doing needlepoint, knitting and making fabric-covered, padded boxes. A sack lunch was enjoyed at noon. Mrs. Friddle served pineapple cake as dessert. —o— TIPPECANOE AUDUBON Society has planned a field trip to Salamonie State Forest, near Lagro, for Feb. 11. The area to be viewed has tree plantations, open areas, a lake and the Hanging Rock fossil coral reef.

The applicant proposes to construct a seawall 3 feet high by 1 foot wide by 140 feet long. Fifteen cubic yards of dredged material and 10 cubic yards of random earth fill material would be used as backfill material behind the wall.

Seawall construction proposed for lake

Glenith Beeson recently submitted an application for a Department of the Army (DA) Permit for the purpose of construction at Tippecanoe Lake in Kosciusko County. The Summitville resident wants to place fill in connection with the construction of a seawall to prevent erosion. The applicant proposes to construct a seawall 3 feet high by 1 foot wide by 140 feet long. The plans indicate 15 cubic yards of material would be excavated from th shoreline and placed inland approximately 12 feet from the shoreline, in an uncontained area and allowed to dry. The 15 cubic yards of dredged material and 10 cubic yards of random earth fill material would be used as backfill material. A DA Permit cannot be issued if any legally required federal, state or local authorization or certification is denied. A DA Permit, if otherwise warranted, will not be issued until a Water Quality Certification or waiver is on file at the Louisville District office of the Army Corps of Engineers.
