I COACH JAMES WEBSTER At the beginning of the season. Coach Webster had eight girls with experience and eight girls with no experience in actual game play. The girls have steadily improved, but ' since most of the team members are not tall, rebounding is a particular problem that the girls have had to struggle with throughout most of the season. Most of the games lost were ended with just a few points difference that perhaps could have been changed with more rebounds Coach Webster is looking forward to the coming sectional with sincere optimism Although the girls have had a rough season. Coach Webster looks toward a big sectional win.

Family overcome by carbon monoxide
Several emergency situations occurred during the past week, but the one which could have been fatal for a new family in Syracuse turned out to be of no major consequence. A plugged furnace chimney in the home of Dan Rop of 218 South Lake St., Syracuse, emitted enough carbon monoxide to poison Rop, his wife. Penny, and their three-year-old daughter, Danielle. All experienced severe headaches, dizziness and vomiting. They were taken to the Goshen Hospital Saturday afternoon by the Syracuse Emergency Medical Unit and given oxygen, then released a few hours later. The Rop’s, formerly of
1977 plan commission officers are elected
Bill Beemer was re-elected 1977 president of the Syracuse Plan Commission during the meeting held Thursday evening in the town hall. Ddvid N. Smith was elected vice president, replacing Maurice Crow, and Joseph Gray was re-elected secretary.
Elkhart, moved into their new residence on South Lake the first of November and had been painting and redecorating. Mrs. Rop attributed her illness to over exhaustion until the other members of her family became ill. They then called Northern Indiana Public Service Company thinking maybe there was a gas leak. When Wilbur Smith, a Nipsco serviceman, checked their house he recorded a high percentage of carbon monoxide in the home. Mrs. Rop commented on how helpful neighbors and Syracuse residents were throughout the emergency. She said, “Elkhart residents wouldn’t have shown such concern.”
Attorney Jack Lawson s appointment was ratified by the commission. The original agreement indicated-Lawson was hired to serve until January 1978. Town board appointees to the commission were Susan Hunter. Democrat, the only woman on the commission, and Smith.
Republican. Their term expires January 1980. Township appointments made by Judge Gene B. Lee were delayed. There was §.ome question concerning the number of appointments made in the past and Lawson after investigation will clarify in the future. Past township appointments of Mike Umbaugh and Crow have expired. New Zoning Ordinance Draft During the meeting Beemer presented a copy of the third draft of the new zoning ordinance to clerk-treasurer Mrs. Betty Dust with instructions to keep the copy in her office and make it available for reading by the public in the town hall. The draft was prepared by Latz and Associates, the Fort Wayne firm hired by the commission to reorganize the zoning. Land use maps were not completed at the time of the meeting, but are expected this week. The zoning proposal will not be easily comprehended without the maps. To Study Proposal Beemer received five copies of the proposal which he will distribute among the 13 board members for their scrutiny. After study members may make their revision suggestions and once the draft has been approved by the commission, a public hearing will be held on the amended ordinance. Finally it will be submitted to the Syracuse Town Board for final action of acceptance, rejection or amendment. Both the commission attorney
Lawson and town attorney Robert Reed will read the proposal and offer comments on its contents. Present Litigation In other business, Lawson indicated that he had been in contact with lawyers representing clients in litigation due to present zoning laws. He is attempting to resolve the lawsuits outside of the courtroom. A litigation committee was appointed by Beemer to help resolve pending litigations. Those appointed were Beemer, Gray, James Tranter and John Brewer, chairman of the Syracuse Board of Zoning Appeals. Those attending the commission meeting were William Pipp, Charles Millar, Joseph Hughes, Beemer, Gray, Hunter and Smith. Absent were Merl Smith, John Cripe, David Nine, Crow, Umbaugh and Tranter.

Fick. 34 and a Topeka driver, Leroy Christner. 65. were injured when their vehicles collided about four miles southwest of Shipshewana on US 20 last Tuesday afternoon. Fick of rA2 was taken to the Goshen Hospital where he was treated for a laceration of the forehead and abrasion to the right knee and released.
