Voice Os The People “Remember" Well, as you may already know, the Town Board of North Liberty resolved to continue its “expressed interest" in an infectious medical waste treatment facility in the North Liberty Industrial Park. 1 was appalled by the decision. A few things comfort me, though. First, this year two Town Board members are up for reelection. 1 would encourage all that are of voting age to vote out those who approved of an infectious waste treatment facility moving to the community. More Town Board members will be up for reelection the following year. Second, I would consider your choices when shopping in the community. A few merchants were in favor of the Town Board's decision. Lastly, the Town Board does have authority to stop Sterticycle from moving into the North Liberty Industrial Park. They simply have to pass an ordinance prohibiting anyone from bringing waste into the Park. Since Thursday’s vote 1 feel differently when 1 enter the city limits. It now looks different because of the possibility of an infectious waste facilty. It feels different. 1 can’t imagine what I would think if I saw trucks from Stericycle passing through our town daily. Jeff Holtz "Quakers Is Happy" After my last letter last week, I received a call from Jill Worthington telling me that they had some girl friend for Quackers. As soon as we get to the Worthington’s, Quackers will be in duck heaven. A female acquaintance told me that if 1 was doing that much good for my duck, maybe I had better ask for a feller for her. To tell the truth, 1 have found one for her, she doesn’t know it yet. Maybe 1 should start a single group column. Myrtle Smith came home and had to go back to the hospital when a blood clot developed. All is fine now. and she will be coming home on Wednesday for good. Marion Anderson had his hip replaced and is now at home, doing quite well other than some pain. Larmon Kaser fell on the ice and damaged his ribs. Peggy says that he does what he wants to anyway. I don’t understand it, when I fall on the ice, the ice breaks. Last Saturday, Johnson Township lost two former residents, Russell Harder and Martha Mull. When I first came here these people were my age now. Russell and Martha, your ready smiles will be missed. Greetings to all you snowbirds in Florida. Wanda Pontius, I am running out of your homemade pies! Last week, I thought that I was going to beat the pants off of Phil at cards. 1 started out just great. Then as usual, 1 lost. Come on out to Al's on Tuesday and see me lose again and again. Seriously, come on out and have a great time with some fun people. Sincerely, Nedra Williams William Young, a shoemaker in Philadelphia around the turn of the 19th century, was the first to make separate shoes for the right and left foot. LAW OFFICE F.

LATE BASKET NIPS BLUEJAYS 53-52 SATURDAY After leading most of the way, the John Glenn Falcons rode the success of a 14 foot jumper by Toby Gardner to victory Saturday night as the high flying Falcons edged the North Judson Bluejays 53-52 in a matchup of two of the area's premier small school basketball teams. The Falcons moved to a record of 18-2 with the victory while the Bluejays only tasted defeat for the second time themselves, to go with 17 wins. The matchup was played at North Judson. The Falcons jumped off to a 21-17 lead in a wide open first quarter which was by far the fastest paced period of the game. With Jason Groves hitting 11 points in the first period, two three pointers, a two point basket and one of two Glenn three for three free throw attempts in this game, the Falcons moved ahead by four just before the end of the period on those free throws. It is not too common for a player to be fouled shooting a three point basket but on two occasions in this game, Falcons went to the line and hit the three in a row effort. Gardner and Nathan Lichtenbarger each chipped in with two baskets in the opening quarter as the Bluejays spilt their 17 points between five players as it was 21-17 after one. The lead was increased to five by halftime, but the game stayed close throughout and a Gardner basket at the buzzer here made the halftime lead 35-30. The Falcons had widened the lead more than that at one point, but the two teams seemed destined to stay close throughout the contest. The host Bluejays outscored the Falcons in the second half, but were still on the short end for the 32 minutes. It was 43-40 Glenn going into the final stanza as the third period found scoring rather slow with the Falcons of Gordon Mosson getting only a three-point play by Jayson Kincaid on a basket and a foul and five points from Steve Snell on a basket and the other three in a row free throws. The Bluejays switched to a zone defense and were changing the tempo of the game with that. The Falcons did manage to work inside of the zone in the fourth period for three key baskets by Kincaid, moving in the middle of the zone and using his quick moves to get the key points. Gardner had the Falcons other basket in this period before the hosts not only caught the Falcons, they took a one point lead on a rebound basket with :16 left by Wes Radtke. This set up the shot by Gardner that delivered the margin of victory. The Bluejays did have an opportunity to pull it out as six seconds is a long time in basketball. However, mishandling the ball near midcourt, forced them to take a prayer of a shot from midcourt at the final gun which was no good. The Falcons had good balance in this game as Groves led the scoring with 13 points, all in the first half. However Kincaid, Snell and Gardner had 11,11 and 10 respectively also for the winners. L. Howard led all scorers with 17, but was on the bench at the end of the night with an ankle injury. Bales reached double figures with 10. At Tippecanoe Valley Friday The Falcons will wind up the regular season this Friday night as they will travel to Tippecanoe Valley to play the Vikings, looking for their 19th win of the season. A Tuesday night game with Culver will then open the 1994 Sectional at Plymouth.

In a contest that featured teams with the opposite kind of records, Glenn with only two losses this season and Argos with only three wins, it was not unexpected that the Falcons dominated the game in the home finale for eight seniors on this year’s squad of coach Gordon Mosson. The win boosted Glenn’s record to 17-2. It was Glenn from the start. A big 25 point first quarter put the game in Glenn’s control at once. Six of the Falcons shared in the first quarter scoring as Glenn was paying tribute to the seniors on this night. Toby Gardner and Jayson Kincaid each had three first quarter baskets while Jason Groves and Ryan Walls added four, Steve Snell three and Nathan Lichtenbarger two as six of the seniors got on the board in this get-away quarter. It was 25-13 after one and by halftime, there was no doubt as the Falcons held a decisive 48-24 advantage. Gardner added 14 points in the third quarter alone as the Falcons really were opening up a margin but the play got a little ragged and all the boys seen action as the game wound down to a big Argos fourth quarter and a lot of Glenn free throws. The Falcons made 10 of 14 charity shots in the final quarter while the pressing Dragons scored 31 points in their last ditch effort to stay in the game. The situation had long been in hand, but the big Argos output did make the final margin just 19, 85-66 as both coaches freely used their benches in this game. Gardner led the Falcons with 24, as mentioned 14 coming in the third period alone. Kincaid and 14 and Groves 13 for the other double figure totals but in all 10 of the 11 Falcons scored for coach Mosson in this game. The high honors for the night went to Ousley, of the visitors, who piled up 25 points, including four three-pointers. McKinney complimented that well with 16, 14 of his coming in the final stanza.
