The loss was hinth against eight wins. The two teams really got it going barly. An active first period found the hosts coming out on top of a free scoring eight minutes with a 13-29 lead as both teams were scorng well. For the Falcons, Landon Wiegand had seven first quarter joints including a trey to lead the vay, but the Knights had eight and seven respectively from Kloska and Linski as the bigger Knights grabbed the four point lead. The second quarter was dominat;d by Marian. They did not score is freely as they had in the first quarter, but held the Falcons two ust three field goals while they were racking up 13 points with five nen scoring to make the lead an impressive 36-25 at halftime. Marian was able to maintain this safe margin throughout the third period and were pulling futher ihead well into the final quarter when Glenn, still playing hard, made a last-ditch effort late in the game and cut the lead to five, before Marian settled in with the final margin of eight, 67-59. The Knights were sent to the free throw line 21 times in the final quarter as Glenn tried valiantly to get back in the game, and Marian was successful on 15 of these attempts to maintain their lead. For the night, Linski, Kulakowski and Kloska had 17, 16 and 15 for the winners while the Falcons were led by Medich and Wiegand with 16 each and Brian Lyle was close behind with 13. For the game Marian hit a crafty 21 of 38 for a percentage of 55, while the Falcons hit 21 but in 49 attempts, including five of 19 from three point range. However, the Marian total of 23 of 32 charity tosses far exceeded the Falcons 12 of 14. Host LaVille Friday The Falcons will play their final Northern State Confernce game of the season Friday night as the LaVille Lancers visit for homecoming. The Falcons defeated LaVille in an overtime in the recent Bi-County Tourney, but last Friday night LaVille suffered an unbelieveable 54-17 loss to Jimtown, their only loss in conference play so far this season.

WALKERTON TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES January 16, 1995 The Walkerton Town Council met at 7:00 p.m. on January 16, 1995 with the following members present: Gene Reese, Gordon Hartsell, Cheryl Rizek, Walter Heil and Leonard Jaske. Attorney David Holmes and clerk-treasurer Judy Hiler were also present. The minutes were approved as read. Attorney Holmes reported that, in a previous meeting, the Board of Zoning Appeals voted to allow Fred and Mary Newland to erect a one foot by two foot sign by the road advertising their business. The BZA decided to allow an unlighted sign by the road since the Newland’s house sits back so far from the road. Holmes further reported that representatives for the Mahoney rezoning failed to appear at the Plan Commission Meeting, so the petition was tabled. MONTHLY REPORTS: Dave Bolze gave the Council his proposals for 1995 electric and water improvements. In the Electric Department he would like to finish changing the town over from 4160 volts to 7200 volts. There are three or four blocks that still need to be changed over, but they are major items to be changed. Bolze also recommends that we either repair or buy a new electric recloser at a sub-station. A new one will cost approximately $20,000.00. Proposed water improvement include: 1. Repair or replace hiservice pump motors at the Water Plant. 2. Clean the wells. 3. Repair or replace the meters on the wells. 3. Change three or four hydrants. 5. Valve location program. Bolze further reported that tree trimming has been started, the power factor billing will start this month and the old water building has been tom down. According to Bolze the Urey School additions will require us to install larger water mains. Both buildings will have sprinkler systems and we currently don’t have the capability to provide enough water volume or pressure. He had originally planned to install larger water mains, down Washington Street in three to five years, and will meet with Terry Baugher to determine what is needed. Bolze told the Council that he would like to buy a computer for the electric and water departments at the same time the office gets quotes for a new computer system. A computer would help them keep track of many things that they now keep on file on index cards. Len Jaske made the motion to allow. Second by Gordon Hartsell. Carried. Bolze said that they also have a need for an answering machine at the utility bam. He said that in ther event they would get after hours emergency calls they could leave a message on the machine for people to call the police station. Bolze is checking with the telephone company about a telephone with the answering machine built into it. Jeff Zehner asked the Council to approve having Terry Baugher proceed with IDEM construction permit application for the de-chlorina-tion system. Len Jaske made the (continued on Page 16)
