Both Sides In School Debate Have Merit

I guess I was kind of disappointed that the dispute between Warsaw Community Schools and some of its patrons wound up in court. I really hoped it wouldn't come to that. I don't like the idea of lawsuits, motions, hearings, injunctions and the like when it comes to educating kids. It has been a difficult few months for these two groups of people and I can see why. On the one hand, if I was a parent in a small town, I wouldn't relish the thought of having my kid take a long bus ride to a portable classroom. On the other hand, if I was a school administrator, I wouldn't be too thrilled about budget shortfalls in my general fund. On the other hand (I know, that's one too many hands) I can see where it might be a little hard to take as a taxpayer when the school corporation's telling you they can't afford to maintain schools in small towns and simultaneously approves $30 million worth of sports, auditorium and administrative construction.

Dalton, Heuer in D-5 school board race

While district 5 Warsaw School Board incumbent Tammy Dalton and challenger Tom Heuer agree teachers play an influential role in students' literacy, they have differing views on requiring the middle schools to incorporate sixth-graders. Dalton and Heuer answered four questions Monday night at the Warsaw School Board "Meet the Candidates" forum at Lakeview Middle School. Moderator Dan Graney, a sixth-grade teacher at Harrison Elementary, asked predetermined questions of the candidates that were submitted by the Times-Union, Warsaw Community Education Association, American Association of University Women and Superintendent Dr.Robert Hayworth. When asked if the middle school should incorporate sixth-graders, Heuer said he did not see a benefit for doing so at this time. "In our current situation I don't think moving 500-plus youngsters from seven, eight or nine buildings does anything for our students," Heuer said.

Mentone Library Hits Funding Snag

MENTONE - While the eyesore previously known as the Frank Manufacturing building on Ind.25 in Mentone is being transformed into an attractive structure, problems with financing are looming for the new Bell Memorial Public Library. Bob Murphy of R.P.Murphy and Associates, Larwill, is the grant administrator for the project and he reports that $250,000 of Build Indiana Fund money that was promised to the project in the state's 2000 budget will not be forthcoming anytime soon.The problem stems from the state's current financial condition, Murphy said, and the expected funding has been frozen. The library project, including purchase and renovation of the building and furnishing the completed combination of library, day care center and senior citizen center, was estimated at $1.2 million.

Syracuse Hopes To Be A Tree City, USA

SYRACUSE -Ê"My initial impression was that you have a very clean town....You have a canopy over many of your trees.In many towns I visit, there is no canopy left," Pamela Louks, urban forestry coordinator, Community and Urban Forestry Program, Indianapolis, told the Syracuse Town Council Tuesday. Louks and Urban Forester Matthew S.Lake, Community and Urban Forestry Program, Indianapolis, presented the Syracuse council with information regarding Syracuse becoming a Tree City USA. Indiana has approximately 43 tree cities and there are 2,500 in the nation.Member cities are very select, Louks said. To become a Tree City USA, the community needs to pass a tree care ordinance as extensive or simple as it wants.The town has to establish a tree board, including public residents, and have a "no topping" clause.Financially, Louks said, the community must spend $2 per capita, which is easily met.Every year, the town must celebrate Arbor Day.
