Mr. Wesley was taken into custody and charged with criminal trespass, battery and public intoxication. He was being held on a $3500 bond and was scheduled to appear in Nappanee City Court, August 4, to answer to the charges. In the early morning hours of August 1, Nappanee Reserve Patrolman Troy Sterling stopped a vehicle on US6, west of CRII, for driving left of the center line. Officer Nick Havert arrived on the scene shortly thereafter, and the driver, Anna L. Gonderman, admitted to Patrolman Sterling that she had been drinking alcoholic beverages earlier in the evening. Officer Havert administered field sobriety tests to Ms. Gonderman, 43, Granger, and she failed all three. She also refused a breath sample for a portable breath test. She Was asked again, and informed that she would be arrested for refusing to submit to a chemical test if she would not give a sample, but she still refused. When the officer attempted to place her in handcuffs, she resisted by pulling and pushing against the officers. She was eventually secured and placed in handcuffs, and placed under arrest. Ms. Gonderman was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, refusal, a Class A misdemeanor, and resisting law enforcement, a Class A misdemeanor. She was later transported. to the Elkhart County Detention Facility and held on a S3OOO bond. Michael E.

Police were called to the Stonewall Court address in reference to a loud music complaint. When they arrived and knocked on the door, subjects within the house turned down the music, but refused to answer the door. It was discovered on the side of the apartment complex that a screen was removed and was leaning against the building. Officers began a search for subjects who may have fled f. 'm the residence

for some unknown reason, during which time they discovered the two men peeking around the corner from another residence. Officers began to approach the subjects, and they ran. After several verbal commands to stop, and a foot chase, the men were caught and detained. Both had consumed an unknown amount of alcohol prior to the incident, and were arrested for resisting law enforcement and for public intoxication. Crime Stoppers...

tVhite Hot h Milford’s best kept secret! Bruce and Cindy Ganshorn of Leesburg purchased the vacant restaurant located at 122 South Main downtown Milford in December of 1997. They totally renovated the building by replacing the old flooring with new carpet and new drywall. They even raised the ceiling to 14 feet. The vacant restaurant was known by elder townspeople as the “Hot Spot” theatre of the4o’s. Some residents even remember viewing Gone With y the Wind. Knowing the restaurants has a famous past, the Ganshorns wanted to make the eatery the place to enjoy the delicious lunches and dinners. Customers can chose the spe- . cials or order from the menu. The Ganshorns also have fun with lithe high ceilings. Cindy continually changes the decorating in the dining area from season to season, and she has a little fun with the customers. Customers are encouraged to “dream of taking a hot air ballon ride” or “to open [their] eyes and pretend $o hear the waterfalls!” Bruce may ask customers to guess how' - many slats are on the wall that totals 650 sq. ft. He ought to know how many; he handmade those slats himself! People of Milford and the surrounding area already know who or what is Milford’s “Best Kept Secret!” Take a relaxling drive on U.S. 19 South, go east on S.R. 15 to Milford’s Main Street. Look for the sign, stop by, relax and enjoy!
