Wawasee's Last Day Scheduled June 4 Because Of Missed Classes
SYRACUSE - If there are no more school cancellations, the last school day for students in the Wawasee School Corp.will be June 4, as of the school board meeting Tuesday. "At this point," said Superintendent Mark Stock, "the state said there are no waivers." Even if the state does offer waivers, Stock said, it was doubtful that Wawasee Schools would seek one. "What this board is about is improving the education for our kids," he said. When asked if there may be school on a Saturday, Stock said that would not be his recommendation at this time.Commencement will still take place when originally planned. Tom Tumey was scheduled to give the preliminary ISTEP report to the board Tuesday, but scores were not yet received.

Atlantis Village Plat Approved
Since the preliminary plat approval for Atlantis Villas subdivision had expired, engineer Larry Long appeared before the Kosciusko County Area Plan Commission Wednesday. Long, representing owner Mathew Heiman, said the developers were prepared for phase 2 of the subdivision - another 36 lots off Hartzler Street, north of Old Road 30W. Commission director Dan Richard said the only change necessary is a Rule 5 review to govern erosion control procedures.The plat was originally approved in 2000 for phase 1, consisting of 14 lots.The plat "expires" at one year intervals so the plan commissioners have an opportunity to review plans in view of any rules change. The petition was approved on the condition that the Rule 5 information is added. Don Kinney, 1729 Hartzler Drive, said he moved to property adjoining Atlantis Villas in October 2003 and he wasn't aware another subdivision would back up to his property.He said there was a nice wooded area beyond his property.

Walter Wolever has seen and done a lot over his life. Ninety-nine years offer ample opportunity to experience a wide range of pursuits, and Wolever has made the most of his time. Born on July 13, 1900, in Lafayette, Wolever taught school, toured the country, became an expert gardener and rubbed elbows with some notable celebrities during his almost-century in Indiana. He moved to Kosciusko County in 1957 with his wife, Mary (Bushong) Wolever, after they both retired from teaching in the Lafayette school system. "Mary was from the Lake Wawasee area and she kind of wanted to come back here.That was enough to get me moving," he said. They purchased three acres in the Bel Rohr park subdivision on Lake Tippecanoe and soon moved into the home that Walter himself built.
