Board of Realtors

award scholarships

“Investing in Our Community’s Future” was the theme used by the Kosciusko Board of Realtors when putting together its 1990 scholarship fund. With the support of all realtor members and their affiliates, the money was raised by an auction during the realtors’ annual banquet. The auction raised enough money to enable the organization to award five SI,OOO scholarships to students in the Kosciusko County area. Receiving the scholarships were Laura Ann Engle, Ann Vitaniemi, Brian Neff, Troy Gamble and Katti Jo Stroup. Engle is the daughter of Susan and Lowell Engle and is a graduate of Warsaw Community High School. She is a senior at Indiana State University, majoring in radio/TV film, and also major-

Serving our country

Receives degree

Senior Airman Steven L. Showalter, son of Barbara J. Showalter, 100 Ash Rd., Granger, and Lowell G. Showalter, r 5, Syracuse, has been awarded an associate degree in applied science by the Community College of the Air Force. The worldwide college, headquartered at Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala., awards associate degrees to enlisted airmen for programs combining technical education received in the Air Force with general education provided by civilian institutions. Showalter is an avionics guidance and control systems specialist with the 436th Avionics Maintenance Squadron at Dover Air Force Base, Del. His wife, Mario, is the daughter of Milton W. and Glenda Winsett, Ice-cream tip Microwaves are so handy! I have found a unique use for them. My children love ice cream, and I always keep at least a halfgallon of their favorite flavor in the freezer. Every time I wanted to scoop out some, the ice cream would be hard as a rock and almost impossible to budge. I place the half-gallon of ice cream in the microwave on LOW for about 30 to 45 seconds, let it stand a minute, and it is a snap to get out. Microwaves have different wattages, so you may need to experiment a few times to find the correct amount of time and setting that will work best for you. Katie P., Bloomfield, NJ.

There are 36 GWRRA chapters in Indiana. with more than 2,300 members, and there are about 10.000 members in the five-state region. The Warsaw chapter of GWRRA was chosen to host the event because of the good job it did at running the state ride-in last year. “Our chapter is probably the healthiest and wealthiest in the state." said area representative Mike Ringer. "That comes from pulling together and wanting to do a good job . " Admission to the event is free but a “Wings For The ARC" fund-raising project will be held in conjunction with the rally.

Its goal is for every mentally retarded child and adult to go to school, work and live in our communities. Ringer says that GWRRA is trying to help change the "hellraising" image that looms over many motorcycle riders. He says that's not what motorcycle riding is all about. "That's 180 degrees from what we are." he said. "We re here to do good " A vast majority of the organization's members ride Gold Wing motorcycles but some own different brands and have "booster" status within the GWRRA. Every one is welcome to attend the festivities, regardless of race, speed, or motorcycle affiliation Ringer says that Warsaw is an ideal place for rallies to be held.
