THE BANNERGRAPHIC January 28,1992

Growth experienced at Cloverdale bank, shareholders told

CLOVERDALE The First National Bank, Cloverdale, experienced continued growth in resources in 1991, President Walter Frye reported to shareholders at their annual meeting Jan. 20. According to Frye, the bank’s capital position is stronger, its earnings have been sufficient to maintain their position, and its growth over the year has been good. “IN SHORT,” HE said, “we are helping people and growing.” Frye predicts 1992 will be a good year with economic recovery continuing, causing moderate inflation. With interest rates continuing to decline, no one can safely predict future interest rate trends, he said. However, First National Bank of Cloverdale projects rates will be steady throughout the year, Frye said. Directors for 1992 were elected at the meeting. They are Walter Frye, Keith Ernst, John Ellett Jr., Kerry Prather, Fred Sargent and Gary Neese. FOLLOWING THE shareholders session, officers for were elected in an organizational meeting. Officers for 1992 are as follows: Walter Frye, president and chairman of the board; Gary Neese, executive vice president and chief operating officer, and Edward Truax, vice president and loan officer. Also elected were Elaine Conner, vice president and branch manager;

Commissioners-

ALTHOUGH NO official decision by the commissioners has been made to purchase the Keightly Road property, Ben Rawlings, •OM&S landscape architect, raised concerns over not acquiring the additional four lots to the north of 14 •acres on Keightly Road. He said preliminary designs place the facility at the very front of the property on the four additional lots. By placing the jail at that location, Rawlings said would save on pavement costs and keep enough extra land open if the county officials decide to move the highway garage to that location. After visiting the site Monday morning, the commissioners decided to continue pursuing the purchase of the 14 acres and 4 lots

Plan Commission

However, he withdrew that motion after further discussion noted that such a change would open all R-2 areas to use by photo studios if approved by the zoning board. “This is a tough one,” Mayor Mike Harmless conceded. “David is a friend of ours and we all want him to succeed in business, but this group has said no spot zoning.” “We know we’d like to let him do it,” added Plan Commission President Warren Harlan, “if there were only some way we could.” AND THE FIRST step toward that positive sure sounded like a negative for the photo studio as the group voted to deny Gjesvold’s rezoning request. The Plan Commission then voted unanimously to advertise the scheduling of a public hearing on a change in the zoning ordinance that would allow photo/art studios as special exceptions in R-2 areas. The Plan Commission will have to pass such a measure as a recommendation to the City Council, which in turn will have to act favorably upon it. Once those steps are taken, Gjesvold can petition the Board of Zoning Appeals for a special exception for his particular studio. 0r... “WHAT IF WE utilize the grounds and the ballroom for

from the various owners. William and Helen Hurst, owners of the 14 acres, gave the commissioners a counter offer of SIOO,OOO from the original $95,000 offer. The commissioners have until March 1 to accept the offer. THE FOUR OWNERS of the 4 lots, Robert and Sharon Evans and Frank and Sharon Hutcheson, turned down the $28,000 offer and did not give a counter offer. Rawlings stressed to keep the facility as far away as possible from the easements and power lines that run along the property. The architect also presented a map on the 20-acre Sgt. Cunningham site located off Fillmore Road that is also seen as a site option. On the map, three sinkholes

taking photos and did all our business at our present store (1062 Indianapolis Rd.)?” Gjesvold asked, noting he could then create a third apartment in the old Mathena Manor. “I wouldn’t even need a sign if I did that,” he added, reacting to a special exception stipulation that a sign could be no bigger than twofeet square. Plan Commission members had no concrete answer to that proposal. The mayor said that didn’t seem any different than the photographer coming over to someone’s house to shoot pictures, or using the park, as Gjesvold says he does now, for outdoor scenes. MEANWHILE, in other business, the Plan Commission: Briefly discussed zoning in the Berry-Locust street area relative to Jim Sparks’ desires to put up a 24-by-48 foot garage that will include space for radio repair equipment operated by a friend. Sparks’ property, however, does not appear to be within the commercial area that includes B & E Electric, Kromme Plumbing, Milton Berry Insurance and other businesses in the old Sutherlin grocery building. Briefly discussed a commer-cial-zone area of Foxridge being used for residential property. Ac-

Greencastle Fire Dept. An electrical problem in a dryer motor Monday evening sent Greencastle firefighters to the scene. Firefighters received the call at 4:09 p.m. and went to the 201 First St residence of Sara Cooper. The fire was reportedly out on arrival. An estimated SIOO damage was done to the appliance. Cloverdale Fire Dept. A semi tractor trailer parked in the McDonald’s parking lot at Interstate 70 and U.S. 231 sent firefighters to the scene. The call came in at 6:45 p.m. and once on the scene, firefighters found the fire was out. An estimated SSOO damage was done to the truck. No information on the owner of the truck was available from the department. Sheriff’s Dept. One arrest was reported overnight, according to Putnam County Jail officials. Teresa M. Stinson, 25, 404 W. Liberty SL, Greencastle, was booked into the jail at 3:20 p.m. by jailer Charlie Boiler on violation of probation. Real Estate Transfers James J. O’Brien and wife to Debbie S.

are located throughout the property. Rawlings estimated that 10 of the 20 acres could only be used for the jail and any other facilities that the commissioners may elect to move to the site. BUT RAWLINGS suggested that if the commissioners decided to proceed with that site, a geotechnician should be be brought in to drill on the property to see if there are any other sinkholes. Although a definite decision was not made on the location for the jail, the commissioners decided to continue going forward with the Keightly Road site. The commissioners will meet in an all-day session Feb. 3 at the county courthouse instead of at their regular 6:30 p.m. time.

cording to city ordinance, because a site is zoned C-3, Building Commissioner Bill Lawrence said, one resident cannot build an addition to his home as planned because location of that home is considered a non-conforming use, which cannot be expanded. HEARD NEW member Tom Roach question the zoning of the Weddell Logging business on the west side of South Jackson Street, which is in First Ward, which Roach represents. As a non-con-forming use in an R-l area, it cannot be expanded, the mayor noted. City Attorney Wilson suggested referring the matter to the Board of Zoning Appeals for investigation into whether or not the site is grandfathered. Re-elected Harlan as president with David Wood the new vice president and Jim Gram secretary. Wilson was reappointed attorney, while Deanne Gaston was reappointed recording secretary. Reappointed Harlan as the fringe-area representative to the Zoning Board. JOINING HARLAN, Harmless, Gram, Roach and Wood were Plan Commission members Jim Harris, Bill Wieland, Arlene Phillips, Ron Smith, Charles Miles and Kim Hyten (ex-officio county representative). Bob Breese was absent.

‘Come Twist Again’ sock hop designed for parents Feb. 8

Greencastle Middle School parents are trying something new in the line of fundraising for activities and projects for their eighth-grade children, working with their teenagers to sponsor a ‘‘Sock Hop” for the parents and friends of GMS. THEME OF THE “Sock Hop,” which will be staged Saturday, Feb. 8 in the GMS gym, is “Come Twist Again.” A disc jockey will be playing oldies throughout the evening. The dance is for parents and adult friends of Greencastle Middle School, and tickets will cost $5 per person. Eighth-graders who volunteer to help with the dance (and whose parents attend) may attend free of charge. Otherwise, it will be an adults-only event.

said, with those cells being doublebunked to allow for 88 offenders. The current jail has only 26 onebunk cells and two bunks for trusties. Attorney Lowe explained to the council and audience that the jail is needed due to a federal class action lawsuit filed under the Civil Rights Act in November 1990 by three inmates. LOWE SAID THAT the lawsuit contains many minor points that can be remedied al the jail. But four or five major points, such as overcrowded conditions, cannot be corrected without building a new jail. The federal court is not taking any action now on the lawsuit since the county is the process of trying to build a new jail, Lowe said. But the presence of the lawsuit makes a new jail a necessity. Otherwise, the court could close down the current jail, leaving Putnam County without any facility. Walton explained that the site for die jail is also not finalized. The county has looked at several sites, he said, but some property on Keightly Avenue on Greencastle’s south side is the favored location. The Keightly Avenue properly, located behind the McClure’s convenience mart, is accessible to U.S. 231, the new Veterans Memorial Highway, Greencastle’s Cemetery Road, and is near the county hospital, Walton pointed out. HOWEVER, IT has not been purchased and negotiations with the property owners have not yet been successful. Mrs. Gaddis asked about the county using the Sgt. Cunningham

Parents who have been involved in planning this event hope it can be a positive example to the young people in the community to see adults getting together for a fun evening without alcohol. STUDENTS WILL SELL pizza, soft drinks and desserts throughout the evening, and those attending will have the opportunity to win dinner for two at the Different Drummer Restaurant in the Walden Inn. The dinners were donated by Chef Matt O’Neill of the Walden Inn. Tickets for the dance may be purchased at Pat’s Ace Hardware, Del Brewer’s Law Office or the middle school office during lunch periods.

property, located east of Greencastle. Commissioner O’Hair explained that three sinkholes have been found on that land and it would be too costly to build there. The fate of the current county jail was also questioned. Kabzinski pointed out that if the juvenile section was cut off the new jail, the old jail might serve in that capacity. WALTON SAID THAT may be an option for the current jail, and it might also be used as the workrelease center. There is also the possibility that the aging jail could be razed into a parking lot. Meno explained that the county can raise about $750,000 annually in new taxes with CEDIT. And if all of the money is dedicated to the jail project, it could be paid off in 12 years. Cloverdale’s share of the annual tax is about $19,575, Meno said. Once the jail project is paid off, he explained, the money can then be reverted to the town’s for their individual uses on different community projects. MENO ASKED THE Clover dale council to act on the resolution Monday since the county council must make the final decision on the tax by the end of M; rch. On a motion by Mrs. Todd, the council passed and signed a resolution prepared by the county that commits 100 percent of the town’s CEDIT money to the jail project. Other business acted on and reported at Monday’s town council meeting will be reported in a future Banner-Graphic article.
