Freshmen Keep Lancers Focused On Future

WINONA LAKE - Scott Schramm is getting a chance to see his master plan in action maybe quicker than even he expected. When Schramm took over the Grace women's basketball program last year the biggest area he wanted to address was recruiting.He wanted to bring in quality players to help build the Lancers into a solid program. So, he went out and got four freshmen to come in this season to learn and develop and be ready to lead the program in a year or two.But as they say, the best-laid plans... Because some key personnel didn't rejoin the team from last year, Schramm's first recruiting class has been thrust into bigger roles on the team and at a much quicker pace. Against Marian Wednesday in the Mid-Central Conference opener for both teams, the Lancers started four freshmen on the court against five senior starters for the Knights.

Commissioners Approve Two Vacation Requests, Table Another

Two of the three petitions for vacations presented to the Kosciusko County Commissioners Tuesday were unanimously approved. A vacation request by Smith's Resort LLC, Tippecanoe Township, however, was tabled until 10 a.m.Dec.4. Smith's Resort wants to vacate approximately 160 feet of W14B Lane, North Webster, according to assistant plan commission director Matt Sandy.Previously, Smith's Resort went before the county Board of Zoning Appeals for a separate issue and the BZA granted that request on the condition that a mobile home be moved. Smith's Resort appealed that requirement but the courts sided with the BZA that the mobile home had to be moved.By requesting the vacation, Smith's Resort, a seasonal mobile home park, would be allowed to keep the mobile home where it's currently located.

Hospital prepared to handle victims

People began heading into Kosciusko Community Hospital Wednesday evening well before actual tornado "touchdowns" were reported in Warsaw. The hospital is a designated refuge during natural disasters, according to Julie Bowers, RN, Critical Care Division director, and citizens often seek shelter there during storms. The expected group of people was directed to the cafeteria while the staff observed "code yellow" status as the tornado alert sirens screamed through the city. "Code yellow activates the disaster plan," Bowers said Thursday."The staff immediately takes an inventory of beds and frees up staff for an influx of people." Three levels of care are immediately established for people with acute injuries, those whose treatment can be delayed and minor treatment. While 12 Da-Lite Screen employees and two vehicle accident victims arrived at the hospital, anxious and worried family members and others seeking information streamed into the front lobby.

Neighbors don't want animals in residential area

Some people don't want their houses near other residential development. Tuesday, remonstrators against Kevin Deardorff's petition for an exception said they'd rather have residential development by their property then heifers and sheep. Deardorff's petition was to allow agricultural uses (six non-lactating dairy heifers and four sheep) in a residential district.The property is on the south side of CR 200S and 980 feet east of Ferguson Road in Wayne Township. Previously, said Area Plan Director Dan Richard, Deardorff petitioned to allow an open-ended number of animals on his property and for an oversize accessory building, but the BZA denied the petition because there was no control on how many animals Deardorff could have on his property. Now, Richard said, the accessory building will be smaller and meets ordinance requirements so does not need BZA approval.Deardorff's petition now limits the number of animals on the property.

Winona Asked To Stop Painting Curbs Yellow

WINONA LAKE - Street department personnel have been painting curbs yellow on the island to reinforce no-parking areas. Resident and Winona Restoration manager Brent Wilcoxson questioned this practice this morning, asking the town council if there was a particular plan for painting and if the plan could be shared.He also wondered about the cost justification and where painting curbs yellow fits on the town's priority list. "There have been about two illegal parking occurrences per year.There are weeds growing in gutters, catch basins that need cleaned out and streets to be swept to keep the catch basins clear," Wilcoxson said."You know we don't have problems with parking." Public works superintendent Pete O'Connell said everything on the island, 10 feet from the center of curves, at intersections and at alleys has been painted because there are problems on the island streets.He said fire trucks couldn't get through if vehicles were parked along the island curves.
