Triton To Build On Lessons Learned
BOURBON — The Triton High School football team hopes to build on the youth and lessons learned from last year’s 2-8 season.“Last year was a great learning experience for us,” Triton coach Rodney Younis said. “We felt like we improved every week. That had to be our mindset, because we were so young. Then, losing your starting quarterback in the first game of the year, we knew it was going to be a building season. It turned out to be a successful season. In the wins and losses it wasn’t, but by the end of the season we were playing our best ball.”

Syracuse Studies Sexually Oriented Zoning Rules
The Syracuse town council is considering an amendment to its zoning ordinance that will attempt to regulate sexually oriented business. Town manager Matt Vigneault put the issue before the council Tuesday at its monthly meeting. The council considered the zoning regulations that are the recommended version from the county planning commission.The county approved the new zoning rules earlier this month, but the regulations are only for non-incorporated areas in Kosciusko County.The other towns that are members of the area zoning board are Milford, North Webster, Pierceton and Claypool.These towns have the option to pass the recommended version of the planning commission. Council tabled the issue until next month because the town attorney was not present.According to Vigneault, the council will probably approve the measure next month.They appeared to agree with the wording and language of the proposal at last night's meeting.
Milford Hikes Salaries
MILFORD - Employees of Milford will see a 5 percent increase in their paychecks in 1999. The town council approved the increase Monday. "It may not be the best system in the world, but no one's presented a better way," councilman Douglas Ruch said. Councilman Robert Beer II seconded the motion and said he would have liked the increase set at 4 percent.He said he seconded the motion because town employees don't have a retirement plan. Abstaining was Donald Wolferman. The council also approved awarding the trash removal contract for Milford to Sweetheimer, which offered the lowest bid at $27,000 per year for three years.Other bids included a bid from Worley Disposal for $28,800 and one from Republic for $39,616. In other business, Marion Acton, member of the park advisory board, presented a request to encumber $1,700 from the capital improvements budget to build a handicap-accessible sidewalk and shelter.
Mayor Signs Off
Jeff Plank and Ernie Wiggins have finally set a date - March 1. Warsaw's retiring mayor and mayor-elect made the announcement Monday on WRSW's "Public Affairs" radio show.Appearing together on the show for the first, and probably only, time, Plank and Wiggins said March 1 is the target date for Wiggins to officially move into Plank's office. Wiggins has spent much of the past few weeks with Plank, getting a feel for the office.He said he expects no major changes, including city personnel, when he takes over as mayor. Plank said he is looking forward to his new career in the private sector.He also said he is interested in serving with Kosciusko Development Inc.to further develop a plan for a countywide sewer system. The biggest disappointment of his 14 years as mayor, Plank said, is the city's failure to finance and build a second sewage treatment plant, which he said is important to the city's growth. "It will happen.It has to happen," he said.
City Council Approves Appropriations
It was an "additional" night for the Warsaw City Council Monday. The council approved three additional appropriations, totalling $345,700.However, taxpayers are still coming out ahead, in spite of the extra spending, the council said. The council approved an additional appropriation request by city planner Jeff Noffsinger for $4,200 to fund an assistant during the summer. Noffsinger said that the summer position, while not budgeted, is well within his department's overall spending plan because the permanent position of assistant city planner remains unfilled.Mayor Ernie Wiggins supported Noffsinger's request. "I will say that we did have an assistant planner with Pat Hudson, with Jeff serving in that position, and that we don't have anyone in that position now," Wiggins said. Noffsinger said the summer assistant will conduct a sign inventory for the department, as well as assist in other administrative functions.
