No raise for mayor, council

>t L. ||| uy money mu in mini Edfeor NAPPANEE Pay increases were among matters discussed at the Monday, July 7 meeting of the Nappanee Common Council. Nappanee Clerk-Treasurer Kim Ingle read through some of the major proposed increases, which include 1.5 percent in most cases, with salary for the EMS director, police chief and assistant police chief being one percent higher. According to Ingle, no pay raise has been proposed for the mayor, dty council or board of works this year. The increases were read in proposal form at the meeting and will reappear in ordinance form at the next meeting,

"I saw them last year at Meijer and I think it's great what they're doing. It's great for the kids, great for the fans and great for the team in general to come out here and meet their fans and the public." It is curious as to why the Colts scheduled an appearance at North Wood in Nappanee as opposed to a larger nearby dty such as South Bend. "A couple of my college friends were from Nappanee and attended North Wood," Joe Fonderoli, the tour's on-site director, said. "I knew the town a little bit and most the time we try to pick small towns. They enjoy it the most and it's our missionary in the summertime to get in the backyards of our fans." The tour is in its 14th week of 16 stops this sujnmer. Other small-town stops on the tour have included Rockville, Kokomo, Peru and larger dries like Fort Wayne. Besides the "Make it Personal" tour, the Colts also did an eight-dty fan fest, which was a similar setup but with a concert and fullon stage. Between the two events more than 40 players are

with bond issues found themselves not making enough money on their TIF districts, the state allowed them to establish a levy to the entire dty to help with the revenue. The Nappanee Redevelopment Commission has chosen not to impose this levy, Ingle said, and asked the council to approve the resolution. The coundl also voted to appoint Wa-Nee school board member Christina Eshelman to the Nappanee Redevelopment Commission. This is a new development in state law under House Bill 1001. Eshelman will not have a vote on the commission, but must be present at each meeting to represent the school board.

involved in making appearances. "It's all about getting in touch with the fans," Fonderoli said. As for the 2007 Super Bowl champions themselves, Antonio Smith has a very positive outlook for this season. "We're feeling good. We didn't accomplish the goals we wanted to last season, so we're going to try that much harder." The Colts' toughest opposition on the field last year was injuries to players. "Unfortunately injuries are part of the game. We go out there and give it all we got and injuries happen. We're going to go in healthier this year and we're going to have a great season," Smith said. As to Smith’s involvement with the tour, he feels, "this is the fun part. It's great to give back to the community, to the fans and show them we appreciate them as much as they appreciate us."
