Rowe attempted to pass on the right, and as he did, Ross turned right instead of left. THE RESULTING accident caused S2OO-SI,OOO damage to both vehicles.

the Opera House project. They agreed the loan was rather unconventional with a guaranteed tenant not yet secured for the renovated building. “The fact is,” Clark commented, “it is the Opera House and it is Main Street Greencastle trying to do it” CACFID Board member Alan Stanley agreed. “It’s awfully hard to make this as a business decision. It’s not a business decision.” “THAT’S RIGHT,” CACFID President Bob Hutchings agreed. “It’s one of those projects that if it’s going to work, we’re going to have to make it work ourselves.” Dory agreed. “It’s a risk like anything else,” the Main Street project manager said. “We can’t guarantee we’ll have a tenant two days after we open, but we will begin marketing the space even before construction begins. “Some of us can see beyond what’s there and some of us can-

PC Fire Association offers camping tips

Summer means an increase in camping activities so the Putnam County Fire Association offers the following tips for outdoor safety. First, persons should purchase only fame-resistant tents. Tents should also be pitched at least 15 feet upwind from any flames. CAMPERS SHOULD also have an escape plan and prepare to cut their way out of a tent in case of fire. It is also suggested to keep water or a fire extinguisher available at all time. Only battery-operated lights should be used in or near tents. Campers should also maintain at least a three-foot clear area around a tent that is free of leaves, grass, pine needles, or other debris that may lend itself

not” WHAT’S THERE AT present is the facade of the 114-year-old structure, owned by Ross Allee at the time of the fire. Present owners, last reported as Bob Evans and Frank Hutcheson, would donate the building (estimated value $14,000) to Main Street Greencastle once the loans are secured, according to Main Street’s formal statement of request A contractor has already been lined up, and the first order of business, Dory said, would be to remove the debris from the inside of the structure and proceed with architectural drawings. Formal approval, however, must first come from CACFID and the Council. And CACFID member Dave Murray said any approval of the $40,000 loan must be contingent upon the other financial commitments and the state’s assurance that the project qualifies for revolving loan fund use.

to starting a fire. ALL FIRES SHOULD be thoroughly extinguished. In addition, all fuel lanterns and stoves should be turned off before leaving the campsite or sleeping. Persons should remember that big fires start small, according to Vicky Burchett of the Putnam County Fire Association. MEANWHILE, IT is important to always use a funnel when pouring flammable liquids. In addition, persons should always be downwind from any open flame or heat source. The transportation of flammable liquids should be done in a well ventilated area. They should never be transported in the truck of a vehicle or inside a camper or trailer.

MEANWHILE, IN other action at the one-hour meeting, the CACFID Board passed a revised resolution, approving expenditure of up to $35,000 in industrial revenue interest funds to pay for the updated comprehensive city plan. The board’s previous resolution to fund the plan did not specify the dollar amount to be paid to Wabash Scientific for the work. During the meeting, Stanley also reported that Dalton Asphalt would complete work on Capital Drive, or the entrance to the industrial park in front of Happico this week. Work on the Fillmore Road widening project will begin following the completion of Capital Drive.
