THE HALLOWEEN of years ago is gone. Today the Eve of All Saints Day is celebrated by the youngsters. The American Heritage Dictionary lists Halloween as “. . . celebrated by children who beg greats or play pranks.” While we hope there are no pranks on the agenda for this evening, we do know the trick or treaters will be out in full force on Milford streets tonight (Oct. 31) as they go from door to door collecting goodies. For mothers who don't want their children on the streets there is an alternative. The Lakeland Loving Care Center is holding trick or treat night, too. From 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. over

There will also be a spook house open to the public for a small fee. Halloween events began in Milford last Saturday with the Lions chili supper and pumpkin and costume judging contests. This year was a first for the pumpkin decorating contest with only three entires. Those pumpkins are pictured above. It is hoped that this contest can be continued next year with additional entries. This year's winning pumpkin is the jolly clown on the left which was entered by eight-year-old
Ryan Barth. Second place honors went to the pirate entered by Joshua Bess and third place went to the lady designed by Stephanie Bess. Winners of the costume judging contest are listed elsehwere in this issue. . —o— THIS WEEK our Hawaiian correspondent, Berniece H. Dwyer reports on the price of a golf game on Waikiki. She writes: “If you are considering playing golf on your next trip to Hawaii, you should know that on a recent week-day morning, the Hawaiian Telephone Company recorded over 34,000 attempted calls to a Waikiki municipal course. One makes a reservation in advance
by dialing 296-GOLF. The fee is $lB for play on a week-day and S2O on a weekend; clubs and carts are additional. “To play on a privately-owned course, the fee ranges from S9O to $175 for one game. This includes transportation to and from one’s hotel, a cart and clubs. “Suggestion: Skip the golf and get yourself to any one of Oahu’s many beaches where the sun, surf and sand cost not one penny. The Bus will take you there for a 60 cent fare and if you are a senior citizen, there is no charge for transportation.” —o— BETHANY COCKBURN, daughter of Bob and Sue Cockburn, Milford, was recently notified she won second place and a $lO check for her essay, “Our American Heritage: A Legacy of Freedom,” entered in the American Legion Auxiliary state contest. The Wawasee Middle School eighth grader had previously been named the winner of the local contest sponsored by Ancil Geiger Unit 226, American Legion Auxiliary, Milford, and was presented with a SSO savings bond. —o— A RECEPTION was held Thursday evening, Oct. 25, for Van Buren Township trustee candidate Dallas Winchester 11.

Sheriff candidates speak out
Jerry “JJ” Johnson, Warsaw, and C. Al Rovenstine, Atwood, are vying for the position of Sheriff of Kosciusko County, subject to election on November 6. Johnson, a Democrat, is a member of the Warsaw Police Department. Rovenstine, a Republican, is a member of the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department. Both candidates were asked six questions. Those questions and the answers given follow: How do you plan to keep the county covered by officers at all times? Johnson — “My first change would be to make a three shift work schedule for the road deputies. This would give the county at least three deputies on duty for each shift. The shift would have a supervisor and a deputy could cover the northern part and one deputy for the southern part with the shift leader to assist in case of an emergency.” Rovenstine — “On January 1, 1990, the sheriff's department hired three additional road people. At the present time one is attending the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy. We have addressed coverage throughout Kosciusko County by scheduling changes within the department. When we are at full force there are three officers on the road in Kosciusko County at all times. We feel this sufficiently covers Kosciusko County’s needs and greatly increases response time to our calls.” What do you plan to do to improve relations and communications between town/state officers? Johnson — "Relations and communications with other agencies must begin at the top. I would propose a monthly meeting
six years, Elaine Weiss completed the 6.2 mile course in a time of 64:10. Also competing in the 10K was Greg Weisser, who won a 10th place medal in his age division (25-29) with a time of 35:20. Another Milford resident, Kim Levernier, was a member of the Holiday Rambler corporate team that participated in the 4K walk event. THE ANNUAL council meeting of the Indiana Lakeland Girl Scout Council will be held Saturday, Nov. 10, at Bethany Church of the Brethren, located on US 6 (one-fourth mile east of the intersection of US 6 and SR 15), New Paris. The morning session will begin at 9 a.m. and will feature craft
with other agency administrators. I am sure we can all work together and I will strive for a good working arrangement with the other agencies. ” ra JERRYJOHNSON Rovenstine — “Communications between town marshals and state officers have improved throughout the years. As always, we will maintain an open door policy between the sheriff’s department and other administrators of the various departments throughout our county. We pledge to cooperate in any way possible to bring our community the best in law enforcement and the most efficient use of manpower." Will you continue to fight drugs in the county with the county drug task force? Johnson — “Fighting drugs has been one of my campaign promisfes both times I have run for sheriff. We must have a drug education program for our schools in the county. Our young people are our most valued assets of today and we must protect them and educate them against the drugs that warp their minds. I will keep the drug task force in tact and I will promise to continue making drug busts on the scum that sells any type of illegal drugs to our young people.” Rovenstine — “Yes, I will continue to give full cooperation to

the county drug task force. Financially the task force is operating at the present time with a federal grant and will continue to do so in the future. The task force has done an excellent job over the past year and a half and I see no reason that the job will not continue and improve. This also is a good relations builder with various law enforcement agencies, federal, state and local as the task force works with many different agencies.” n ft C. AL ROVENSTINE Officers spend a lot of time delivering court papers. Is there a need for full time persons just for this, so officers are free to patrol? Johnson — "With the change of schedules I would hope a deputy could take some time to deliver papers. I would think later on with the increasing paper load we may have to appoint a deputy to deliver the papers.” Rovenstine — “Civil process service is the responsibility of the sheriff as the sheriff is an arm of the court system. We have addressed a full time position for civil process delivery in the past. At the present time our patrolmen are delivering civil process as one of their daily duties. As our office grows in the future, yes, I can see a need for a staff strictly dedicated to civil process.”
This support group’s program will be “Highlights: Probate, Property, Long Term Care.”For additional information, call Joellen Schurr, 291-3518. CONSTRUCTION WORK has begun this week on a new home being built east of town on Beer Road. Owners of the home are Marv and Karen Chupp and their three children, Matthew, five, Kayla, and Nathan, 10 months. Now residing in the Goshen area, the Chupps hope to move into their new home by next February. Karen, who is employed in the bookkeeping department of The Papers Incorporated, Milford, is the daughter of Milford residents Silas and Dorothy Howard.
Do you feel there is a public safety factor in deputies using squad cars for personal use? Johnson — “I am very concerned about safety when the deputies have their families riding in the vehicles when not on duty. I feel if an emergency would arise, something or someone would suffer, either the family or others that we are obligated to protect. This is a big liability factor that must be solved immediately. I will discourage the family riding in the county vehicle.” Rovenstine — “Kosciusko County is a very unique county both population wise and in geographic size. This county is the fourth largest per square mile in the State of Indiana and with the vast lakes area, the population in the summer approximately doubles. We have, throughout the years, tried to hire our officers from various parts of Kosciusko County to greater serve it’s people. There are many incidents that we can relate where off duty officers have responded efficiently and quickly to an emergency scene because of having their squad cars with them at all times. I believe it is of utmost importance in this particular county that our deputies do maintain their own equipment and at all time be prepared to respond to emergencies. I believe it is the only way we can get the job done with the number of people we have employed at this time.” Is there a need for officers to be trained to handle incidents involving hazardous material? If so, will you seek training for officers? Johnson — “Everyone should have some type of training on hazardous material, at least enough to recognize the immediate danger. The Warsaw Fire Department has started a special team and this team is in training at this time. I understand we have a number of county firemen that have had some training in the past. Deputies and EMS personnel are usually first on the scene at all emergencies and I would hope the first deputy or officer on the scene could have enough training to keep others from getting injured.” Rovenstine — “At the present time fire departments within the community are taking HazMat training. If elected I would have our officers take training from the HazMat team that will be in place in the future in this county. I believe the HazMat team should come from the firemen within the community and our officers will be trained to handle and assist the firemen in their duties at each particular situation.” Save our earth This is an environmental and economical suggestion. For years, we have been using our portable dehumidifier and all the water (approximately two gallons) accumulated in our clothes washing machine. Thus, we save water, which has already been softened since it’s distilled, and money on our electric bill! Helen Z , Elmhurst, 111.
