Golf course becomes focus

By Merrie Chapman Reporter The Nappanee Board of Parks and Recreation met in regular session, April 12, to discuss several concerns relating to the McCormick Creek Golf Course. Golf Pro Jim Rice reported 38 new memberships and a fast-paced business on the course. “If we keep up this pace, we will top our record year of 1994!” said Rice. In keeping with that theme he requested new pull carts to accommodate the growing number of patrons. He sited that those currently in use are “starting to show their age.” He gave quotes of only sls per used cart, or SSO each for new ones. The board voted to authorize the purchase of 15 used carts at sls each. Rice also requested the board to join the Elkhart County Public Golf Course Association of the second year. The commitment would include a S6OO fee to enter a two-year agreement involving a brochure for tourism. Of the funds raised by the membership fee, onehalf will return to the association to fund the Junior Tour. The S6OO covers both years of the project

The drive will be held at the Nappanee Missionary Church, located at the comer of SRI9 and CRSO, from l-7p.m. Because the Red Cross believes, a patient in need is a patient in need, no matter where they may be hospitalized, blood supplies that exceed the local needs are shipped to the American Red Cross National Inventory Hub in St. Louis, Missouri. It is here that other Red Cross Blood Regions can receive blood, if their particular area is in need. “Our blood collection goal has been raised to 175 pints,” says Donna Persing, Nappanee chairperson. “This community is

The lodged yet another complaint about the dust and dirt being pushed out of Stauffer Park and onto their property from the traffic between the basketball courts and the softball diamond. The couple requested that the board vote to blacktop the area to eliminate the build up and its path to the homes bordering the North Summit Street entrance to Stauffer Park. Questions arose about previous negotiations with the city to include the blacktopping with the annual street repairs. Discussions on the subject ended with park superintendent Wayne Scheumann agreeing to first collect cost quotes on the needed work, and then approach Nappanee Mayor Kenneth Walters about a solution. The next meeting will be held Wednesday, May 10, 4:30p.m., Nappanee Emergency Medical Services Building, West Lincoln Street. Meetings are open to the public.
