Open 'House of Gems'

A new business will open Friday in uptown Syracuse — Greer’s House of Gems. Leonard H. and Shirley M. Greer, who operated a service station and auction south of Syracuse for a number of years, have purchased the uptown building of Dr. Herschel Coil and will open their new business at this location. Featured in the new business Revoke — (Continued from page 1) set back from the lot line was maintained, but the lot line is under water, and therefore not the actual point from which to ipeasure the set back. It was Shown that this was, however, drawn in the original permit, issued by building commissioner Harry VanHemert, and was therefore built as planned. The question of the front, side and rear yards was also raised again. It was pointed out by severabpeople including William Beemer and Mrs. William Pipp, that there was no rear yard, but a front yard and three side yards, which is in violation of the ordinance. The proposed stairwells were also discussed. The map showed an eight foot set back on one of the side lots, which is legal, buU the plans of the Pinneys show ' intentions $f building stairwells on that side which will extend six feet, making the actual set back oily two feet, which again is in violation. Earl Money, conservation officer, was called on by board member William Coburn to give an opinion of whether the state would allow the Pinneys to reclaim a substantial portion of their land by building a seawall. Money explained the- state had set a precedent of not allowing anyone to reclaim underwater land through construction of a seawall. He said there are many others in the same situation who have not been allowed to do so, and he therefore believed the Pinneys would not be able to reclaim their lost land. Group House William Coburn brought up the distinction in the ordinance between an apartment house and a group house. An apartment must be at least three stories

No purchase is necessary to register. high, and needs to provide only 2,000 square feet per unit, while a group house can be no higher than two and a half stories and must provide 2,500 square feet for each unit. The Pinneys applied for a two and a half story group house. The half story was to be on a basement level. Walter Colman pointed out the footings which had been poured left out, any possibility of a basement floor. Frey picked up on this and observed that the Pinney’s, in not building a basement, were not following their permit, and must intend to build either a two or a three story structure. Frey listed three options that he felt the board had at that point: 1) to let the Pinneys go ahead and build eight units, (2) to deny the permit and face a possible lawsuit from the town, or (3) to deny the permit and a permit for six units. Harry Gingerich asserted the Pinneys would have no basis for a lawsuit, as the permit had been issued on the assurance from the Pinneys that there was 16,000 to 18,000 square feet available. This has since been proven to be false. - The. question was raised of what the Pinneys were actually building. It was not known by anyone present how high they planned to build, or if they actually planned to build eight units. Dalton suggested that Frey call the Pinney’s contractor, Don Runge, and invite him to come to the meeting and explain what was actually being built. The meeting again broke into pandemonium for 15 minutes as Frey made the phone call. Runge was reached, but chose not to attend the meeting. Frey related that the Pinneys now intend to build an eight unit, two story, structure. The citizens represented at the meeting raised several questions,

calling for the permit to be revoked. Coburn said he felt the town board had made the agreement and it would be difficult to simply revoke this agreement. A gentleman pointed out this was the board of zoning appeals, and this board was the body with final say on the matter, outside of the courts. Cobum observed the board had the choice of abiding by the decision of the town board, which would amount to the granting of several variances, or to go by the letter of the ordinance. He remarked it was time the board upheld the ordinance and suggested the permit be revoked and VanHemert issue another permit for six units if the Pinneys wanted it. Another Violation Mel Collier then came before the board, stating he had heard a house he built recently was in violation of zoning ordinances. Collier said he had bought a building permit from Harry VanHemert in good faith, had built the house, and had later read in the paper that the house, as it sat, as the permit was issued for, was not in accordance with the ordinance. Col. Gray informed the board that the required 15 feet of rear yard and 35 feet of front yard were not there. He asserted there was no rear yard at all. Collier again pointed out he had bought the permit in good faith, and had followed it to the letter. He told the board the permit was issued by “your man” and that the board should have to take responsibility for the actions of this man, building commissioner VanHemert. After further argument between Collier and Cd. Gray, Frey said Collier should ask the board for a variance. The board could then advertise a meeting, and consider his appeal. The board and Collier agreed that this would be the proper thing to do, and the meeting was adjourned. New Salem By MRS.

Fire destroys Cromwell elevator

The town of Cromwell suffered one of the worst fires in the town’s history last Wednesday afternoon when the main section of Hostetler & Sons Cromwell Elevator was completely destroyed by fire. The fire, of unknown origin, started near the top of the main elevator structure, quickly brought out the Cromwell volunteer fire department, followed by the Ligonier and Wolflake departments. The office building and its contents were saved, along with two large grain storage bins. The elevator, located at the north edge of Cromwell along the B & O railroad tracks, is an old landmark in the town. Traffic on road 5 was quickly sealed off that fire fighters could work the fire. Other nearby buildings, including the Cromwell Lumber Co. byildings, were saved by firemen. According to the Cromwell Advance, fire started 20 feet from the top of the 90-foot structure, and was first reported to the Cromwell fire department through an automatic alarm system, and by a telephone call by Linda Ware, office manager. The fire burned nearly three hours before firemen were able to leave the scene, and then the department was called back

Lifetime food habits

By MRS. ANN HANCOOK Area Extension Agent Food habits of a lifetime are usually formed in childhood. So it is the parent’s responsibility to provide an environment that will lead to good eating habits. The pre-school child is often a frustration to his parents when it comes to meal time. At the age of two, children usually start expressing* their independence by making choices and often refusing to eat. If the parent does not understand this as normal development, there can be unnecessary arguments. The child’s rate of growth, his activities, and how he feels, all influence how much he eats. His appetite may be affected when he is overtired, excited, in strange surroundings, or has had any unusual change in his life. Most children pass through a period of stages in developing their attitudes toward food. Food “jags” are common with the preschool child. He will request one particular food for several days. Usually these “jags” will end within a few days and he’ll move on to something else. Refusing to eat is also a common occurence. Don’t force a child to eat. When he is hungry, he will regain his appetite. A child’s attention span is very short. After his hunger is satisfied, he may dawdle. Imitation is one of the LEGALS NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the Board of County Commissioners of Kosciusko County, Indiana, will from this date until July 3,1»73. at 1:30 E.S.T., receive sealed bids on the following.

about an hour later to further control the blaze. The main structure fell in about an hour after the start of the blaze, bringing down heavy machinery installed on upper levels. Firemen pumped water from Solomon’s Creek north of town. Several Cromwell firemen suffered injuries and bums but no serious injuries were reported. No estimate of loss was reported by owners and no decision was made concerning rebuilding at this time. The Cromwell Advance said the elevator was built about the turn of the century by Stiefel & Levy, Fort Wayne grain dealers, the local elevator was one of three built along the B & O tracks by Stiefel & Levy, the others being located at Syracuse and Kimmell. Joe Stiefel eventually bought out Levy and continued operation of the several elevators under local management. Many carloads of grain were shipped from these points to Chicago, as well as to eastern mills. The elevator was more recently owned by Harper & Martin, who sold it to the Noble County Cooperative Assn., who in turn sold it in 1967 to Hostetler & Sons, Inc., of Topeka, and was managed by Pat Elliott since their ownership of the concern.

strongest forms of learning. Small children imitate their siblings and parents in regard to food likes and dislikes. Other members of the family need to be careful not to express food dislikes at the table. A child will often refuse to eat something that his father will not eat. To help your child develop good eating habits serve a variety of foods in an attractive manner. It is better to give a child a small helping and have him ask for than to serve him too much. Finger foods which the child can pick up are well received. Remember that small children have very sensitive taste buds and usually prefer bland diets. Mealtime in many families is the only time that the family sits down together. It should be a pleasant relaxing experience. This is not the time to settle family arguments or reprimand children.
