Town Marshal Says Burglaries Solved In North Webster

There is one pending burglary but Church said, "We have solid suspects, and are confident that this burglary is independent of the others and will result in arrests in the near future."
Church thanked The K21 Foundation and the Mentone Police Department for the Rescue Discs they received to be kept in each police car, fire truck and EMS vehicles.
"The discs could come in very handy with all the lakes that we have in the area," Church said.
Mentone Police Department did a lot of the legwork for this to come to fruition through the K21 Fund.
Church's monthly report included 434 calls of service, far busier than other months. Of those calls, there were 17 related to theft, conversion or fraud, five were drug related, three were alcohol related, three batteries and 151 were traffic related. The police department currently is working on Operation Pull Over.
Public Works Supervisor Greg Gear reported his fall projects are underway, and summer projects are being completed.
The smoke test for Epworth Forest did not reveal the culprit for the large water influx during moderate to heavy rain. Gear and his department were hoping that this would be the answer to what they were looking for. The next phase in the project will be to do a dye test for the stormwater collection. Epworth wants to work with the town to rectify the problem.
Kosciusko County Solid Waste Management Director Sue Studebaker reported the Recycling Center looks like a trash bin. Studebaker stated that several bags of trash and other items not accepted at recycling were found lying next to the bins, including a water heater and boat seat cushion.
The police department agreed to patrol the area more, and the maintenance department is looking into more lighting for the area. The recycling center has decided to pull all the glass collection bins from all county recycling sites because they are the bins that are most violated from lack of proper use.
The town is nearing an agreement regarding the 2nd Street water problem with Dr. Stewart and Tom White properties. Board President Jon Sroufe reiterated he wants this to be done in a rapid timeframe. The town's commitment is contingent upon Stewart's commitment. Tim Hanes is looking into fine tuning the actual work and who is going to do it.
Resident Sara Zollinger attended the meeting to apologize to Sroufe and the town for the disparaging things that were written about him in a letter to the editor from another neighbor. Zollinger owns the pit bull, Roxy, that is accused of running loose and creating some havoc in her neighborhood. Zollinger was adamant that Roxy is not allowed to run the neighborhood as the letter stated.
Sroufe thanked her for coming forward, and for taking the steps to keep the dog restrained.
Trick or treating is set for Oct. 31 from 6 to 8 p.m.[[In-content Ad]]
