Supervision claim on the project amounts to $5,733, but the city only pays $833. A progress schedule was given to board members, on the breakdown of the work done at the plant. This way, Tinkle expained, it was easy to see if the project is on schedule, ahead, or behind. There are “no troubles yet,” according to Tinkle. The computer software maintenence agreement with Keystone Consulting for the water utility was approved in the amount 0f5550. 1982 Community Development Block Grant Project no. 17, 455 E. Walnut St., was granted a 70 percent grant and a 20 percent private loan with 100 percent loan interest subsidy. CDBG project no. 22, 552 South Main St., was approved for an interest subsidy on a loan to bring the interest down to five percent on $25,000 loan. Sewer connection was approved for 758 N. Clark St. EMS Director Mike Stull asked the board to consider sending two of his personnel to the state quarterly meeting on September 27-29. They were granted this request. Street Supt. Bill Mishler stated that CR 7 widening began on the west side. Sam Adams was granted a promotion in that department.

Mishler will attend the Street Commissioners meeting in Indianapolis on September 4-5. Wastewater Treatment Plant Supt. Phil Hochstetler presented Mayor Robert Callander with the plaque he received from the Indiana Water Pollution Control Association for the Best Annual Report for 1984. Clerk-Treasurer Kim Ingle stated that the specificatioris on 1985 CDBG projects 23 and 24 are available in her office at City Hall. Mayor Callander reported that the Alphabet plant construction is coming along. The entry road is to be hard surfaced this week. The road cut onto the highway will need to be bid separately, and should be available by the next meeting. The city is hoping for a Department of Commerce grant to pay for the construction. The mayor also reported that he has asked the department heads to review their schedules of insurable items. It is his hope to bring down the insurance costs as much as possible. City Attorney Brian Hoffer stated that the option to purchase the Derksen property is being dealt with. The SSOO option would be applied toward the purchase price of $442,000. The option would be good through September 1986.

Budget receiver approval by Marie Dobecki There was a special session called for the Nappanee Common Council on Monday, August 26, to hold a public hearing on the budget, and approve it in final reading. There were no citizens present, so the board went on to the voting. On unanimous approval, the 1986 budget was approved with about a nine percent increase. The ordinance annexing the Gertrude Young Schalliol property into the city, and prescribing the zoning was approved in both second and third readings, as rules were suspended to do so. The ordinance changing the zoning from R-l to R-3, multiple family, was also approved in both second and third readings. Resolution No. 339, adopting a written fiscal plan and establishing a policy for the provision of services to the annexed area was approved. In the resolution, it states that the purpose of developing the area is for residential use, and that street construction, street lighting, sewer facilities, water facilities, and storm drainage facilities shall be the responsibility of the developer. Alan Collins, representing Venture Properties, stated that there will be one meter per building. Mayor Callander asked Collins why the road drives through a residential area to get to the multiple family dwelling. Collins stated that it is only 400’, and crowded apartments at the front would “asthetically ruin the area.” The next meeting of the Nappanee Common Council will be Tuesday, September 3, at 7 p.m., due to the Labor Day holiday.

Reed retires after 27 years as fireman

Another Smokey Stover has decided it is time to say good-bye t# the Nappanee Volunteer Fire Department. Glenn Reed, who has been a firefighter for 27 years, and chief for one, has decided it is time to step down. Effective August 1, 1985, Reed’s

GLENN REED Smokey Stover Retires resignation has been contemplated for some time. “As I said a couple of years ago, I would put in my 25 years and then let the young guys do the job. It just took me two more years to do it.” Although he will miss working on the force, Reed doesn’t regret letting younger men take over for him. “We have a lot of younger guys working out great and filtering into the department,” he said. “They just

don’t make them any better than we have in Nappanee.” Reed calls his last 27 years on the force “great”, especially the opportunity to work with other fine men, like the late Harold Sechrist, Delbert Yoder, and others who have retired before him. He is also thankful for the opportunity to dedicate so many hours to the organization. When asked what being a Smokey Stover meant to him, he replied as follows: S-service of all kinds, fire, tornado watch, education, open houses. M-memories never to be forgotten. O-on call at all times. Kkeeping your community safe. Eeverybody working together. Y-you are the important one. S-social activities, fish fry, picnics, gospel sings. T-true friendships. o~out all hours and all weather. V-volunteer department. E-equipment kept in working order. R--remembering the old and new fire stations. S-special people to work with. (That’s Smokey Stover, folks!) One of the highlights of Reed’s career was the opportunity to serve as chief from 1983-1984, when he also had the opportunity to present Fred Culp with a watch for 50 years of service to the department. Reed says that because the Nappanee firemen are such a great group of people to work with, he and his wife, Julia, will miss them all. Julia has also been active as a volunteer, serving on the auxiliary for many years. According to the wife, “The family will all regret not being a part of the department and all its social activities.” Even their daughter, Cheryl, was Nappanee’s first fire department “Flame Queen”. , As the Reeds make plans to sell their home and move to Florida, they extend wishes for continued success within the department. The Nappanee natives also extend an open invitation to all who wish to visit them.

Road extensions *■ Cont. from Page I hazard if extensions are made to CR 7, if approved by the city. Eleven lots are planned on being developed in the Northwood eighth, with the extension of Maple Lane. The Northwood ninth, according to sources, has been approved by the county. This plat is to include 50-unit apartments, with another 13 additional lots. More information on this will be available at a later date. After unanimous approval by the Plan Commission, the' Northwood eighth addition will go before the Nappcnee City Council for final approval. Northwood Parkway will be renamed, due to the confusion caused by its similarity in Northwood Drive. This request was made by Rick Jenkins, who stated that it was too confusing, especially in the case of emergency. Two residents are currently living on the parkwav
