NORTH WEBSTER - What are those strange lights in the sky in North Webster?
Aliens?
Nah, they're just spotlights from Stimmelators Gentlemen's Club, a North Webster business.
But residents aren't too happy with them. And Wednesday, Kirby Thompson and his wife asked the North Webster Town Council what could be done about them - if they could be limited. He said they seem to interfere with the enjoyment of the sky.
He didn't care where they came from, they could come from a grocery store for all he cared, he said. He just wanted to know if there was any ordinance to limit them being on.
Clerk-treasurer Peg Lawrance said the council has received calls on the lights and investigated the matter. The town then turned the matter over to the Kosciusko County Area Plan Commission and the county is now looking into it.
The county does have a lighting ordinance and the spotlights may fall under that ordinance, according to Greg Church, North Webster Police Department marshal.
"At this particular time," he said, "my suggestion is to let them handle (it)." [[In-content Ad]]
