Warsaw, Wawasee Boys Swim Well In NLC Meet

SYRACUSE -ÊGoing into Saturday's Northern Lakes Conference boys swim meet, the state-ranked squad from Northridge was favored to win.

"Northridge is really, really good," said Wawasee coach Roger Karns."But our guys went out there and swam well. "We graduated nine kids off last year's team that placed second in the NLCs.Who'd have thought we'd come back and do it again this year? These guys have done an outstanding job of making themselves competitive this season." Although the Warriors did not win any of the events, they placed in the top six in 11 of 12 events.

Creighton Proposal Creates A Stir

Around Christmas, Tom Tucker received a letter from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. It was basically a letter of intent from Creighton Brothers, notifying adjacent property owners that the agri-business wanted to construct two new egg-laying facilities. The notification is required by law, and Creighton must secure a confined feeding permit from IDEM. The letter caused concern among Tucker and his neighbors, and since receiving it they have embarked on a journey through a maze of state agencies that has left Tucker calling IDEM a "bureaucratic boondoggle." "I would have thought sometime during this whole process that somebody would have taken notice," Tucker said earlier this week. Apparently, someone has.IDEM this week put Creighton's permit on hold while it investigates Tucker's concerns. Creighton wants to construct two more chicken houses near its existing operation on the west side of CR 950W, a half mile north of CR 200S.

WCS Seeks Input From Community On Building Plans

Whether Warsaw Schools continues looking at a building project comes down to two little boxes. At the first community meetings Tuesday night held at Madison Elementary School, each patron was given a green card.On one side is room for comments.On the other side are two little boxes for patrons to check: One box tells Warsaw Schools to continue on with the building project inquiry, while the other box said Warsaw schools are fine as they are and no further investigation into the issue is needed.The green cards will be handed out at the next three community meetings, too, with the results determining if the school corporation continues the process. A patron at Tuesday's meeting said it was appalling that there was even a box for people to check saying the buildings are fine as they are.It's obvious something needs to be done, she said.Superintendent Dr.Robert Haworth said as obvious as it may seem to some, there will be people who will check that box.

Winona Lake Enforcing Abandoned Vehicle Ordinance

WINONA LAKE - With the leaves falling and the snow not far behind, the Winona Lake Police Department will be stepping up its enforcement of the town's abandoned and inoperable vehicle ordinance. "We've been putting 72-hour tags on vehicles parked on the street that are either unlicensed or inoperable," said Police Chief Malcolm Gilbert at today's town council meeting."Now, we're going to start having them towed.We have to keep the streets cleared for our leaf crews and for snow removal once winter gets here." In other business, the council approved up to $25,000 for concrete work on 14th and 15th streets. According to Street Superintendent Kim Endicott, the remaining work is curbs and sidewalks.He said the $25,000 is a not-to-exceed amount, and that he doubts the entire sum will be required.

Sewer Plan Details Released At Leesburg

LEESBURG - With the completion of its facilities plan, the town of Leesburg is one step closer to conducting a public hearing on the sewer project. The plan calls for homeowners to pay a $2,000 connection fee and to pay the costs of running a line from their homes to the main line.This option will result in a $66 monthly sewer fee for homeowners. The town needs the facilities plan to apply for grants such as the Build Indiana Fund, which would lower project costs. Councilman Steve Rodgers said his goal is to get the monthly sewer fee in the $20-$30 range. The town will be sending letters to residents whose property is being considered for the treatment plant. After the letters are sent, the facilities plan will be on display at the town hall, First National Bank and the Leesburg Mill so residents may review it before the hearing. The date of the hearing has not been determined.It will be advertised in the Times-Union at least two weeks before the hearing.
