Ligonier merchants organize concerned citizens group
At the Friday morning meeting of the Retail Merchants division of the Ligonier Chamber of Commerce it was decided by the 14 persons present to form a “Concerned Citizens for Law Enforcement” group. This action came following an earlier meeting when merchants asked what they could do to help clear the loitering young persons off the streets in the uptown area. These persons are taking over the streets and parking areas, yelling obscenities and generally being a nuisance. A letter to the group from chief of police Robert Durham set up the guidelines from which the citizens group will work to help make a better uptown area. About one dozen merchants signed up for the duty which includes patrolling the streets and contacting the police when action is needed. Complaints will need to be signed by the merchants about the disturbances in some cases. The citizens group will have no police power of its own. They will have the use of a walkie talkie to contact the police quickly when they are needed. In the letter chief Durham stated they should work in pairs and always notify the policemen on duty in advance when they are patrolling. One of the uptown merchants has a special complaint about the tenants in one uptown apartment. They are especially bad when it
comes to loitering and yelling in the uptown area and contribute greatly to the entire problem. A group of merchants was selected to meet with the landlord and see if these tenants could be evicted immediately. Scare Customers and Workers One of the merchants, because of the nature of his business, has later store hours than most of the others. Lately it has been necessary for him to close earlier because his workers are afraid of the loiterers and customers are unable to park and come in because of them. These persons, for the most part, live in the aforementioned apartment and along with others, whom they encourage, take over the street in front of the place of business. Another major reason for wanting to rid the uptown area of this type person is the influence they are beginning to have over other young people in the community. Young people who heretofore have made no problem but are now listening to this group.. Among the things the “Concerned Citizens for Law Enforcement” will do is report traffic violations with license numbers and also personal identification when possible. They will also report obscenities which are disturbing to the peaceful pursuit of citizens, report property destruction and

in general help to break up the organized group of young violators that are creating the disturbances on the streets in uptown Ligonier. The police department will brief the group which volunteered for the citizens law enforcement on their responsibilities and the do’s and don’ts of this work before they start patrolling. Warn Bicyclists Another important discussion at the meeting was the disregard for bicycle ordinances which are on the town books. Many youngsters this year are riding bicycles on the sidewalk in the downtown area and are causing danger to pedestrians. Children and parents are reminded that this is against the law and asked to stop this action before someone gets hurt. Also noted was the many bicycle riders out after dark this summer with no lights or reflectors on their conveyance, another dangerous situation which should be corrected. In the other business at the meeting posters were distributed about the forthcoming Sidewalk and Trade Days to be sponsored by the group on August 3 and 4. Merchants are asked to cooperate with the gay nineties theme in manner of dress and make the promotion interesting to visitors in the community.

Brian Stump, Bill Elliott, Larry Rosenogle, Ted Knafel and Tim Emily. The 20-acre corn plot was planted May 13 with four kinds of corn and two different herbicides used. With all ground preparation and fertilization being the same, it is easy to see how varieties can be compared against other varieties. The 10 acres of soybeans were planted May 17. It was all planted with the same variety but sprayed with eight different herbicides. Ground preparation, fertilization variety and cultivation were the same. FFA members and vo-ag students have prepared this demonstration plot for their educational objectives and also for any person interested in their demonstrations. Visitors are welcome to stop and inspect the plots adjacent to the school and US 33.
