Warsaw Whips Central Noble

COLUMBIA CITY - First-year Warsaw volleyball coach Jamie Byron didn't have to wonder very long how a season-ending slump would affect her team in the sectional. The Tigers (20-14) jumped all over Central Noble in the second game of the Columbia City Volleyball Sectional and never looked back in cruising past the Cougars, 15-1, 15-2, Thursday. The match took a little over a half hour to finish as the Tigers completely dominated the overmatched Cougars.

Special Education Cooperative Restructures Delivery Of Services

Special needs students in five area school corporations should see little, if any, change next year in the services they receive.But the way those services will be delivered will change greatly. According to Tamra Ummel, director of the North Central Indiana Special Education Cooperative, the NCI administration will decentralize - with each member school district hiring its own special education director. Ummel said the change is another step in the evolution of NCI, which began in 1972 and includes Warsaw, Wawasee, Tippecanoe Valley, Whitko and Bremen school districts.In the early 1990s, the special needs students, who were bused to Warsaw for services, were returned to their home schools and districts.In the mid-1990s, she said, much of the instructional staff was sent to individual school districts as well. The change was decided in October by NCI's governing board, which is composed of the superintendents of the member school districts.

Watkins To Contest School Board Election

Sterling Watkins plans to contest the District 4 Warsaw School Board election. "I've given it much thought, obviously," Watkins said Wednesday."I believe that at the end of the day I have no other choice but to contest the election.The vote was very, very close and there was a mix-up on the ballot.Therefore, I will take the steps to see what alternatives I have.I will follow through and I am very committed to being on the board." In Tuesday's election, Charles E."Chuck" Sauders received 767 votes to Watkins' 762 votes. The "mix-up" occurred at Warsaw's Ward 2, Precinct 1, when a voting booth did not include the District 4 candidates on the ballot.The booth was shut down early, as soon as the problem was found, but as many as 63 votes could have been affected.

Leesburg Officials Unhappy With Plan

LEESBURG - The town facilities plan is nearly complete, but the Leesburg Town Council is not happy with the way things are turning out. Consultant Joe Tierney reviewed the status of the facilities plan with the council Monday, mentioning just a few loose ends that need to be tied up before the public hearing.But his request for an authorized signature for documents connected with the project brought a heated response from council president Bob Cleveland. "With one council member resigning and one opposed to the project, if Steve (Rodgers) doesn't sign the project comes to a halt," Cleveland said."I will not sign - I do not support it." The facilities plan is one of the steps needed to construct a proposed sewer treatment plant for the town. Council fears the high cost of the project would put too much of a burden on Leesburg residents.As it stands, residents will pay a $66 monthly sewer fee if the project is approved.

Flood Insurance Costs Falling

Homeowners in parts of Kosciusko County with flood insurance can expect to see one, possibly two reductions in their premiums. As a result of work by the Kosciusko County Area Plan office, premiums for flood insurance will be reduced by 5 percent. And more work by the office could possibly result in a total 10 percent reduction. Assistant plan director Tanya Ford said the reduction comes after a series of steps, most of which are oriented toward helping landowners understand and cope with existing flood zone regulations. For example, information about flood maps is available at five area libraries.And the plan office is offering advice on building in flood plane zones.The office is also doing a better job of tracking elevation certificates required in flood plane zones, Ford said. The plan office prepared data that was forwarded to Insurance Services Inc., a private firm that makes recommendations to the federal flood insurance program.
