Voting is available for all citizens Dear Editor, Several years ago my wife and I attended a meeting of people attempting to have Triton School Board members elected, rather than appointed, as they were in the past. I was surprised to see members of the Amish community there, given their aversion to involvement in political activity. Apparently, these folks were willing to participate in school board elections if that would ensure board members who were focused on our children's education. A number of Amish folks have voted on the school board only. But I've found that a new Indiana Voter ID law makes it tougher for these folks to get their votes counted. This law requires a photo ID card to vote. Whoa! 1 think the facial photograph thing violates these people's religious beliefs. They can still vote a "provisional" ballot which is sent to the county courthouse. But, that ballot won't be counted until they appear at the courthouse and affirm their religious objection to the photo. I've offered to drive those in Marshall County to Plymouth to complete the process (they can call me at 574-342-5378). Hopefully someone in Etna Township will do the same there. Voting by mail avoids the photo ID thing, but time is too short for that this year. I've been in the Amish community the last three days trying to tell folks what to expect. A recurring theme in these conversations is that Triton's personnel shows respect for Amish beliefs, and these folks appreciate that. I think we all do. Dale McCollough Bourbon

Council, where it was discussed for the first time during last Monday's meeting. At the meeting, Eric Walsh, from Plymouth’s H.J. Umbaugh and Associates accounting firm, said many communities are switching to the public hydrant surcharge. He said with the recent decline in property tax revenue, "it's made the budgeting process a more daunting task for cities and towns trying to provide the same services." As of now, fire protection comes out of property tax bills. It accounts for about $200,000 of annual revenue,

which goes back to the water utility. "Basically you are using $200,000 of your budget for fire protection services," Walsh said. By taking this out and putting it onto the monthly water bills, in essence vou're freeing up $200,000 of budget for something else." The study conducted by Umbaugh and Associates broke the projected surcharge down based on residential and industrial meter size. The estimated monthly cost for homes with standard 5/8- to 3/4-inch meters is $5.13.

"Anytime a utility bill goes up, it's a difficult thing, especially for people with fixed incomes," Thompson said. "That's why we had Umbaugh helping us in telling us what we could do, and that's how we ended up with that amount. "As a homeowner, I’m not against the property tax cap. But as the mayor, I have to run my city somehow. There weren't enough provisions in case of a recession to run emergency services or whatever it might be, so it's going to cause some pain and we'll have to take a look at things differently than we ever did before." The estimates for nine meter sizes goes up to a $589.95 monthly fee for a 10inch meter for large industrial properties, which use

2222. NEW NV MAKER TO BRING JOBS Nexus RVS LLC, a startup manufacturer of recreational vehicles, has announced that it will establish its production operations in Elkhart, creating up to 90 new jobs by 2013. The company, which manufactures Class B and Class C motor homes, will invest more than $2.8 million to lease and equip an existing 109,000 square-foot manufacturing facility adjacent to the Indiana Toll Road. Nexus, currently headquartered at Notre Dame's Innovation Park, plans to begin hiring production, supervisory and support associates at the Elkhart facility by the end of the year.

around 115 times as much water as a normal home. "Residential houses will not be paying the same as a commercial property, because the amount of flow that would be needed for fire protection at that property would obviously be •greater," Walsh said. The meeting was the first reading for the ordinance, which must go through two more next month before official implementation. Council members agree that by this time next year, a similar fee could be added for trash collection, but only as a last resort. "I will fight it all the way," Thompson said. "I'm hoping to prolong that as long as possible and to be the last city in Indiana to propose that."
