Tippy Lake residents unhappy,. buildings down, but rubble left
By TERRI CHILCOTE Residents on the north shore of Tippecanoe Lake in Kalorama Park have been trying to get rubble left from demolished buildings hauled away or burned, but to no avail. Last winter the Kosciusko County Health Department had condemned and torn down some unsafe structures, owned by Burl Brattain of Alexandria, located on lots 29, 30 and 31 in Kalorama Park on the north shore of Tippecanoe Lake. However, adjacent property owners are unhappy because the rubble from those structures has not been burned or hauled away. In a letter to Carroll Sherman, administrative assistant of the county health department, Attorney David R. Hamer of Carmel said, “lam pleased with the progress to date regarding the demolition order which was entered by your office regarding the above properties several months ago. Unfortunately, it appears that we have hit a snag in totally resolving the problem which, in effect, makes the problem worse that it ever was .. . It appears that no steps are being taken to either burn or cart away the rubble. On repeated occasions, I have recently seen children and other people exploring through the junk at what must be assumed to be some significant risk to their own health and safety . . . These present circumstances are unacceptable to the surrounding residents and adjoining property owners and I would respectfully urge you to exercise what influence and authority you have in this regard to see that the existing conditions are properly cleaned up and this entire matter brought to a satisfactory conclusion.” Hamer owns a cottage

across the road from the Brattain property. No Funds In a telephone interview, Sherman said the health department has not removed the rubble because the county council will not appropriate the money to allow the health department to do it. He said he had asked the Tippecanoe Lake Property Owners Association to set a date when residents could meet with him and the county council to discuss the problem, but the association has never set a date. According to Sherman, the North Webster Fire Department had been contacted to burn the rubble, but the fire department said it could not burn the rubble without a release of liability from Brattain. Sherman said he has written to Brattain several times, but has received no answers from him. Sherman also traveled to Alexandria to confirm that Brattain lived there. Although he was able to confirm Brattain’s address, he was unable to meet with him personally. “We’d like to get this thing carried out as much as they (the property owners) would. We don’t cease to continue efforts on projects. Things don’t always proceed as fast as people, including myself, would like. I don’t agree (with Hamer) that steps aren’t being taken,” stated Sherman. According to Richard D. Mitchell, Tippecanoe Township trustee, Sherman had contacted the chief of the North Webster Fire Department, Bill Metcalf, about procedures to have the remains of the demolished buildings burned. Metcalf brought the matter to Mitchell and the Tippecanoe Township Advisory Board who in turn consulted with its attorney.
Mitchell said their attorney advised them not to burn the rubble without a release of liability from the owner. The attorney said if the rubble was burned without such a release the fire department could be sued by the owner. Mitchell said the only other way the fire department can burn the rubble without danger of being sued is if the fire department receives a court order. Mitchell pointed out the North Webster Fire Department will be glad to burn the rubble when either a release of liability or court order is obtained. Board proxy Myrick attends grant seminar Carl L. Myrick, Syracuse Town Board president, joined public officials from throughout northeastern Indiana in a one-day seminar on federal grant programs, Tuesday, June 10, in Fort Wayne.

Dr. J. Douglas Nelson, director of the Center of Public Service, Anderson College, was the seminar instructor. “Understanding Federal Grant Programs” is one of 10 APS seminars offered to elected officials throughout Indiana to assist them in improving local government.
New football coach . . .
(Continued f£\>m page 1) pressed with the educational and athletic facilities. He travelled with the North Side wrestling team and had been to Wawasee on several occasions. “I’m impressed with the facilities and there’s an opportunity to approach different areas.** He said he has seen films of Warrior football games and has been impressed with some of the young men on the team. Football Program The program he will be building for the team will be similar to that used at Fort Wayne North Side and Penn High School. He said the offense will be wide open for passing. Last year this offensive play allowed his team to gain 2,600 yards rushing. He will install a summer and winter conditioning program to encourage all young athletes to participate in sports. He wants to have all athletes participate in sports and the program will be open to all athletes, boys and girls, as soon as it is approved. In dealing with a team, in football that has only won two games the past two seasons, Dickerson will try to have the players find success both as individuals and as a team. Also he plans on utilizing as many players as he can and build the number of players on the team. Currently there are 49 interested in football. His goal for the next three years is to have 65 players out for the football season. No coaching staff has been selected to assist Dickerson. He said he hasn’t talked to last year’s coaches to see if any are interested but he will make a decision in the next couple of weeks. In finding coaches to work with him, Dickerson stated he has to have people who can assume responsibility. He will be giving his assistants certain responsbilities and will hold them accountable. Dickerson stated he will give coaches credit when it is due. He added he will be there to give guidance and suggestions and will let the other coaches give input to the program. “I call basically most of the plays offensively.” Dickerson said he has a disciplined team. “I coach by example and try 1b have my staff do the same. I do take disciplinary action when

necessary to better the team.” He further explained young people are the same wherever you go and that athletes are looking for a challenge and need to be rewarded when they succeed and reprimanded in some way when they don’t succeed. His coaching philosophy is similar to that of Chris Geesman at Penn High School. He tries to find an explosive offense type of play to build on, where the offense has control of the ball. Dickerson is planning to do what has been most successful for him the last five years. His basic game plan will be simple and he will try to build around this plan. Along with his duties as dean of students and head football coach, Dickerson will be the head baseball coach. He feels he can devote a sufficient amount of time to both sports and stated, “If not I wouldn’t take it.” Smith Comments Henry Smith, principal at Wawasee High School, said he is, “very, very pleased with the professional we’ve hired.” He added he is eager to work with Dickerson and anticipates the football and baseball seasons. Smith feels the school corporation is fortunate to secure the services of a man who is successful in working in the classroom and with athletes. “He’s our man, as dean of students and as coach of football and baseball. We will support him.” Personal Information Dickerson was born in Hammond in 1935 and attended Hammond Tech High School where he played football and baseball. Upon graduation, he worked for Standard Oil Company until 1954 when he was drafted by the U. S. Army. After spending 16 months in Korea he returned to Hammond until September of 1956 when he enrolled in Ball State University, Muncie. His extracurricular activities included football and baseball, in both of which he earned three varsity awards. During his years in the football program he played both offense and defense and as a senior he started as an outfielder on a team that was runner-up in the NCAA college division. He was honored by

his fellow athletes during his senior year by being elected president of the Letterman’s Club. After graduating from college he worked for the Monsanto Company in Ligonier where he spent six years in the engineering department. During the time at Monsanto he and two other interested persons solicited funds to start a junior high football program in Ligonier. He coached that team for three years with a 11-3 record, the last two seasons being undefeated. The most important part, to him, was it provided the motivation for becoming a full time teacher and coach. Dickerson entered the teaching field in 1967 and was employed by East Noble High School as a vocational and industrial arts teacher and assistant coach in baseball and football. A year later he was elevated to the head football position. Also while employed by East Noble, Dickerson coached the summer baseball teams for two years, winning the league championship and one tournament championship for a win-loss record of 26-8.
