WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7. 1973

Pet coyote a menace to neighbors, Tony says What does one do when a neighbor’s pet coyote kills his pet poodle? This is a problem Tony Guidone had to face this week. Tony, a resident of the east side of Dewart Lake, found his pet poodle badly mauled by a coyote a neighbor claims as a pet. Tony and his wife took die poodle to the office of a local veterinarian, but the poodle died in spite of the vet’s efforts to save him. Tony turned to conservation officer Earl Money for advice. Money called the coyote “the worst coward we’ve got,” but this wasn’t much consolation to the Guidones. Meanwhile, the heat is on the coyote owner to round up his unusual pet and keep him on a leash.

Bold Liquors, Inc. denied liquor license

The second petition for a package liquor store in Milford, filed by Bola Liquors, Inc., was denied Tuesday morning. About 30 people with petitions appeared to protest the granting of the license. After hearing many spokesmen the board denied the license and told the group there would be no package liquor store in Milford as long as they were on die board.

Rev. Jerald Radcliff, First Brethren church, Milford, spoke for the ministerial association. He had petitions from the different churches. Rev. Radcliff said he thought there were enough outlets in town now, with three taverns and package liquor at the drug store. He questioned the location of the store if Bola received the license, as he understood the former location was leased.

Carl Roembke, state board member, informed the group that the license would be subject tq final inspection by the state board of health, state fire marshal and zoning commission. The license would be good for one year.

Bolasaid the building would be built as soon as the permit was granted, that he has an option to buy the original property or he can purchase land south of Augsburger’s grocery. Rev. Ralph Karstedt, 208 West Catherine street, Milford, spoke saying it seemed as if the people were all in agreement that Milford has too many outlets causing many problems. He couldn’t see any conceivable advantage to the community, but many disadvantages for another outlet.

John Perry of Milford presented another petition. Darrell Orn, box 65 Milford, asked a question on the town ordinance. He thought Milford already had more outlets than the ordinance allowed and they certainly hadn’t passed any new ordinance. Roembke said that didn’t apply to package stores. 'Orn continued saying, “Milford has too many outlets now, looks like a city dump on Sunday morning with all the cans and bottles.” He said he was also speaking for the board of directors of Chore-Time and the Christian church. Mrs. Robert (Hilda) O’Blenis, box 165 Milford, represented the mothers of Milford. Mrs. O’Blenis said it isn’t safe for children to walk home from school. She said it would be even worse having cars entering and leaving the package liquor store on the highway. Bola asked how many people appeared last month when the renewal came up for the drug store. None. He wanted to know why they didn’t appear then. John Perry stated that less than seven per cent of the drug store revenue comes from liquor.

running loose and stiff fines are being imposed in Turkey Creek township justice of the peace court of Christian Koher. The chief advised all complainants to contact the justice of the peace direct whereby charges will be filed. Fines are running up to $25 in the jp court for violators.
