Wiggins requested better security measures for that area, saying that it has been, and continues to be, a target area for vandals and thieves. In light of the large list of needs, the manager offered one suggestion to help pay for these costs. Wiggins suggested that prices on concessions be raised slightly to bring in more revenue. She also requested the board to consider a higher pay scale for lifeguards than other part-time employees. Niki argued that the lifeguards are required to have more training and certification than other park employees. They also have a higher level of responsibility. “And they work hours that are considered rather undesirable for teenagers,” said Wiggins. The pool manager also shared two of the most frequent patron comments encountered. “We heard a lot of good things about the identifiable attire the lifeguards wore this year,” Niki said. “One woman said it was very easy to find the lifeguards for help on a crowded day.” The most frequent comment made was the need to install storage lockers for personal belongings. The board took ail of Wiggins’ comments under advisement and promised to review the list of needs before next season. Members were also given a presentation by Rain Bird Sales Inc., Ft. Wayne, on replacing the automated sprinkler system for the front nine holes of the Nappanee Municipal Golf Course. Park Superintendent Wayne Schuemann advised that there was currently $27,000 available in the nonreverting fund that could be used for the new sprinkler system. He estimated that monies in that account could total S3O-35,000 by the end

Two men face DWI charges

Two drivers have been arrested by Nappanee police officers and charged with driving while intoxicated, following separate incidents which occurred early Saturday, August 15. At approximately 5:21a.m., Officer Nik Havert observed a truck heading east on Market Street, with one of its headlights not working. Before pulling the vehicle over for the violation, the officer saw the truck weave in its lane, and drive over the centerline in the 300 block of East Market. The officer stopped the vehicle and, while talking to the driver, Wilmot G. Miller, 69081 CRI, Nappanee, he admitted to having drank alcoholic beverages earlier that evening.

ing a ,16%8AC, and Miller was transported to the Elkhart County Detention Facility, on a charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated. His bond was set at SI,OOO, and he was awaiting a court date. Also early on Friday morning, Officer Matt Tice was on patrol on SRI9 North, and noticed several vehicles going around the right side of a vehicle stopped at the intersection of SR 19 and CRS2. Officer Tice pulled his patrol car to the rear of the vehicle and noticed the driver was slumped over and the car was running. Brake lights were on. As he approached the vehicle, the officer noticed the car was still in gear, but the vehicle died as he reached the door. The driver was sleeping in the driver’s seat, and the car was stopped in the middle of the intersection. The officer woke up the driver, John J. Christian, 40, South Bend, and began to interview him. Christian had a smell about him commonly associated with that of

an alcoholic beverage, and he was very disoriented and had slurred speech. Officer Tice asked if the man had been drinking, and was told that he had. At that time, field sobriety tests were administered. Christian failed every test given, and had a .20% BAC in the portable breathalyzer. He was transported to the Nappanee Police Department and given a certified breath test, which showed a .18% BAC. While at the department, Mr. Christian was searched, and a small amount of marijuana was located in his pocket. He was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated and possession of marijuana. After initial paperwork, he was transported to the Elkhart County Security Center, with bond set at $2,000 and a court date of August 19 set, in Nappanee City Court.
