Nappanee man wins art show NAPPANEE — Richard Pletcher, director of Pletcher Village Art Festival held last week, Thursday through Sunday, at historic Amish Acres in Nappanee, announces the winners of the three division painting competition. The S2OO best of show award in the adult division went to Martin Straka of Nappanee.

This is the first time in the 11 years of the festival that a local person has won first prize. The student division $25 winning award went to Jeff Beyer of New Carlisle, an oil entitled “A Time for Myself”. Wendy Turner of Richmond impressed the judges with her acrylic painting entitled “Street Scene” to capture the S2O first place award in the children’s division.

Collier variance tabled for further study at Syracuse The Syracuse board of zoning appeals met last night at the town hall located at 418 South Huntington street at 7:30 p.m. to consider the petition of Mel Collier for variance as to zoning ordinance area requirements pertaining to two-family dwelling units proposed for lots 23 and 24 in South Kitson Park addition to Lake Wawasee. The lots are located on state road 13 south of Wawasee Village. Collier has 14,386.8 square footage of land and the law required 15,000 square footage per duplex. Collier is asking for two duplexes on this piece of land. Reportedly Collier had Herb Underwood, Wabash county surveyor, inspect the property with Underwood, agreeing the land was alright for the use requested. The inspection was made on July 30, on July 31 Collier received a letter saying the land did not meet the perculation test. Joe Hapner stated all perculation tests are to go through Carroll Sherman at the county health office. Wilber Smith, president of the planning com-

chasing a bicycle has many styles to choose from — it’s almost as big a choice as purchasing a new automobile. You can buy a simple bicycle with metal frame, two wheels, handles for steering and a seat. Or you can go in for a more sophisticated one with gears. Whole families are taking up bicycling as a hobby — even grandpa and grandma have gotten into the act and enjoy

mission, said the necessary requirements for sewer must be met. Os the 28 remonstrators present, a few spoke up saying it seems very clear to them that Mr. Collier was asking for a variance of more than 15,000 square footage of land. Much pros and cons were heard on the granting of the variance and on the limits the board of zoning appeals could go in making a decision. In the end, Bill Coburn stated they would be granting a variance to the building, not to the boundary lines. Bill Pipp, board member, then stated he did not believe the board of zoning appeals should agree on anything until the board of health gives its okay. Don Niles made a motion to table the matter until the August 20 meeting so they could further investigate the situation. The motion was carried and the meeting adjourned. Green clover worms infecting soy bean fields By DONALD E. FRANTZ County Extension Coordinator Soybean fields throughout Kosciusko county are becoming infested with an insect known as the green clover worm.. Some spraying has been done in the northern part of the county and farmers are advised to check their fields every few days according to Don Frantz, extension agent. The worms are a bright green color, an inch or less in length at this time and are leaf feeders. Their native host plants are clover and alfalfa. Their life cycle would indicate that they may be present for three or four weeks. Their presence is noted by extensive leaf feeding. They work on the underside of the leaves and are different to observe. A method to observe the worms is to lay a paper dr cloth under the plant and shake them off. We estimate that when there are 16 to 20 worms per linear foot in the row, then it would pay to spray. Information on materials for spraying is available at the extension office.

Ecologists recommend bikes because they have no fumes, no gas or oil leakage, no pollution and no water is used to operate them. Many people enjoy them for peddling around their home area while others pack picnic lunches and take off on a day’s outing on their bicycle. Still others pack for overnight trips and peddle their way to distant points. A group of boys from Fort Wayne rode out to
