Concerned citizens sign petition and hear Swartz

Members of the Lakeland Concerned Citizens forum met Monday night at Wawasee high school. They signed a petition against a drive-in near North Webster and heard Lt. Warren Swartz of the Elkhart county police department. The petition of remonstrance on the rezoning issue of the agriculture land south of North Webster so that it may be used for a drive-in was presented by Kiwanian Greg Smith. The request for rezoning was denial and is being appealed. A hearing will be held in the courthouse in W'arsaw on Wednesday, Nov. 3, at 2:30 p.m. Volunteers will be talking to the area schools about what is being used for drug education in the nature of films, books, etc. Members of the Kiwanis club are presenting fourth and fifth graders with coloring books on drug education. The books are entitled “What If They Call Me Chicken.” Swartz Speaks Lt. Swartz, crime prevention officer, talked on what a woman should do if attacked by a rapist He also showed a film where victims, police and rapists were interviewed. Lt Swartz stressed the fact that one must keep her wits He gave detailed instructions telling the Concerned Citizens if they resist they should wait for the right moment. He further instructed that if they couldn’t bring themselves to maim, blind or bite chunks out, they had best not do anything Scream as loud as possible, he said. He continued by saying if a woman did not have a good weapon she should use her purse. Most purses wright three to four pounds and that could do a lot of damage if it

and Dorothy Stucky for a permit to sell antiques from their residence on SR 13 south of Syracuse was granted for the length of time they occupy the home. A business sign was restricted to six square feet or less. In a three to two vote. Paul and Verna Knauer's request to construct an addition to their residence in Cedar Pant closer to the lot line than ordinarily allowed was granted. According to Lawson the decision on Knauer's variance would need to be brought up again since a majority of members must agree. Only five of the nine members were in attendance and only three attending members gave a positive vote. Vance Lopp requested a variance to build a 40' x 60’ storage building on a lot close to Oakwood Park His request was denied because the building was too large for a residential area. To Appoint Member Town board president James Tranter was asked to appoint a new member to replace Terry McLeod s position. McLeod has not been present since his appointment. Dewart Lake Violations Numerous zoning ordinance violations on the south side of Dewart Lake were brought to the attention of the BZA by Robert Bush, referred by the countyboard of health. Bauer agreed that the problem exists with many of the violations being committed by owners of mobile homes placing their homes within two or three feet of each other. The BZA can only deal with current violations and members urged the property owners or Bush to seek legal advice. ' Bush voiced opposition of citizens enforcing the zoning laws and stated the county health told him that the area was under the Syracuse BZA jurisdiction. According to BZA members septic systems come under the county health department’s jurisdiction. The BZA will meet November 18 at 7:30 p.m in the Syracuse town hall.

is swung like the woman means it. Swartz said the best prevention for rape is caution. He quoted the slogan, “Out of sight, out of mind." telling his audience to dress conservatively and not give ideas as rapist can think up their own. A common mistake is the idea that everyone is good. Violent crime, he said, is up 176 per cent in the last 10 years. There is no age limit but the usual is between 10 and 80. Swartz told the women present if they should be raped they should not clean up. A physical by a doctor or at the emergencyroom is a must The doctor can write a statement that can be used in court. He also told the women to be prepared mentally to give a statement to the police and then go through it again in court. He said this is a lot of trouble but the next person might not be lucky enough to be able to give testimony. The police officer said there is a group in the Elkhart area called “Support” which does just that. "Support” members will go with any rape victim to the doctor or hospital, to the police station and to the court if necessary. Their aim, he said, is to give moral support In conclusion officer Swartz told his audience to remember, self defense does not necessarily mean fighting Self preservation, he said, is of the most importance MAYFLOWER ANCHORS The Mayflower, after a stormy passage across the Atlantic, came to anchor Nov. 11. 1820, in Cape Cod Bay. now Provincetown Harbor.
