MILFORD - By candlelight Monday, the Milford Town Council held its last regular council meeting of the year. A transformer blew out at the NIPSCO substation at the corner of Syracuse and North James streets, according to councilman Douglas Ruch, putting the entire town in complete darkness. The blackout occurred between 6 and 6:15 p.m.Right after the town council adjourned its meeting at 7:25 p.m., the lights came back on. At the start of the meeting, Ruch - also a volunteer fireman - was called out due to a serious semi-car collision at the intersection of Ind.6 and Ind.15, leaving the other two councilmen - John Lehman and Bob Phillips - to take care of business.
