Whitko Claims Share Of TRC Title
MENTONE - The Three Rivers Conference has been very tight this year, so tight in fact that both Valley and Whitko volleyball teams had a shot of gaining at least a share of the title on Wednesday despite having two losses each in the conference. For Valley, it is quite a step up from previous seasons when the Vikings never even thought about having a shot at winning the conference.But this has been a record-breaking season for Valley in terms of wins. However, Whitko stepped it up on the road for a 15-7, 15-5 victory that secured a tie for the conference championship.It was the Wildcats' final conference game of the season, while Valley has one left to play with a tough Southwood squad.
Looking To Improve
Despite the fact that Kosciusko County Council was talking about the future of the county Monday, the public didn't seem interested, as there were only two or three members of the public present at the council's special meeting. The 6 p.m.meeting was to discuss the financing of the Justice Building project and to adopt a resolution authorizing the publication of a notice of public hearing and the formation of a building corporation.All objectives were unanimously approved. Also unanimously approved was an additional appropriation of $2.2 million from the $5.6 million cumulative capital fund to buy Lake City Inn.The Inn will become home to the work release program and temporarily to the probation department and several offices. Kosciusko County commissioners today approved the purchase for $2.2 million.However, commissioner Brad Jackson, citing soil problems in the area, asked for an engineer's inspection of the building before the contract is signed.
Logan Extension Includes Significant Sewer Work
Warsaw City Council took a preliminary step toward financing a major road project that would reduce congestion on Ind.15S. Logan Street extension, a half-mile stretch that would connect the street with Rozella Road and cost more than $2 million, could begin next year if no unexpected road blocks show up. The proposal is considered a state project and will depend greatly on federal funds.Eighty percent of engineering and construction costs will be paid with federal funds, and the city's share is expected to be $492,000. On Monday, city council took the first step toward seeking a general obligation bond for $1.5 million that includes enough money to extend sewer service to the southwest part of the city. Consultants who prepared the proposal said the $1.5 million figure was higher than needed and was targeted for cautionary reasons so that enough will be secured for the projects.
Syracuse Submits Water Plans To State
SYRACUSE - Syracuse's water distribution project is moving ahead and plans have been submitted to the state, town officials reported Tuesday. Clint Houseworth, public works superintendent, reported the building specifications and drawing were submitted to Indiana Department of Emergency Management.The town expects a response within 45 days. "We're now in the waiting game of waiting for a response before we can take the next step," Houseworth said. The next step, Town Manager Jeff Noffsinger said, is securing a construction permit and advertising for bids. In the meantime, Houseworth asked the board to approve Dixon Engineering to inspect the new water tower involved in the project.According to Houseworth, water town engineering is very specialized and there are few firms that do it.Dixon Engineering was approved and will be paid $9,625 for the tower inspection.
