Council Refuses To OK Police Fund Transfer

Friction between Warsaw's city council and the Warsaw Police Department continued Monday as the council refused to approve an internal financial transfer requested by Police Chief Craig Allebach. The $5,000 transfer involved funds already in WPD's budget, and was a request to simply move the money from one internal account to another. Three council members voted in favor of the transfer; three voted against it.The seventh council member, Gene Brumfield, was not at the meeting, and Warsaw Mayor Ernie Wiggins does not have a vote and could not break the tie. Councilmen voting against the transfer - Dewey Lawshe, Jerry Patterson and Paul Siebenmorgen - said they opposed the transfer because Allebach's request was too vague.The request said the transfers were necessary "to cover expenses for supplies and repairs and maintenance." Allebach was not present at the meeting, and could not be reached by phone Monday night.

City Council Looks Into Air Pollution

The Warsaw City Council is continuing to look into controlling air pollution in Kosciusko County. City Council member Charles Smith informed the city council during its meeting Monday night that he discussed air pollution statistics he received from two families in his district in Kosciusko County with Joe DeRita, president of Dalton Foundry, last week. Smith previously shared Associated Press statistics at the council's Sept.16 meeting that stated areas around Lincoln Elementary School, Kosciusko Community Hospital and 1818 N.Bay Drive were rated in the top 5 to 10 percent as being the worst neighborhoods nationally for potential health risks caused by industrial air pollution. Smith said he and Mayor Ernie Wiggins will meet with DeRita next week to discuss the air pollution problem in Kosciusko County. Smith said DeRita informed him last week the foundry has put in money for air purification and hopes to acquire state-of-the-art equipment to reduce air fumes.

Upward Basketball Hopes To Raise Spiritual Awareness

Going into only its fourth season, Upward Basketball in Warsaw is a model program. The nondenominatal, community-based program was conceived five years ago after Len Morris heard about it elsewhere and thought it would be a great program to bring to Kosciusko County.It took about a year to get the program started, said current chairman Joe Moore.In that year, Moore and Morris approached various community members to help get the program started.An advisory board was formed. In the first season, Moore said he and Morris went door to door looking for portable basketball hoops because the program didn't have enough.People agreed to let Upward Basketball use them. "It really kind of started on a shoestring (budget), more or less," said Moore.

More than 60 of the cemetery's 150-200 headstones had been vandalized sometime overnight. Many of the stones are broken in pieces, chipped or knocked off their bases. "At this point, nothing has been put back," said Munson, the secretary-treasurer of Pleasant Grove Cemetery Association, Wednesday afternoon."Some of the stones have been pushed back to their bases so we could mow around them, but nothing has been put back together." Now Munson has something more than just the vandals to worry about: How to get the gravestones and monuments repaired.

As has been the case in recent months, the three councilmen remained steadfast in their positions.Don Wolferman said the town doesn't need it.Robert Beer says the town can't afford it, while Doug Ruch argued in support of it.
