Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce awaits reply from county commissioners

Early last September it was brought to the attention of the Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce that there was, in deed, a serious situation arising in Kosciusko County relative to the sanitary landfill situation. In October. Senator John Augsburger, Representative Thames Mauzy and District Commissioner Maurice Dorsey, were invited to attend the directors meeting for an open discussion concerning the landfill requirements of the area. Commissioner Dorsey was the only guest able to attend at that time and it was the feeling after that meeting that the chamber of commerce really did not learn anything. It was then suggested that the chamber write to the Governor and the State Board of Health on the matter. The above comments and those which follow come from a letter from Phyllis Louden, president of the Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce; Bill Beemer, chamber secretary; and Joseph Gray, president of the Syracuse Area Development Company as

Fithian to run for US Senate

Congressman Floyd Fithian announced in Indianapolis, Tuesday, Feb. 16. that he will enter the Democratic primaryrace for incumbent US Senator Richard Lugar’s seU. Bi FLOYD FITHIAN Fithian said he was compelled to enter the Senate race by the hardships of unemployment which working families across the state were suffering due to economic policies fashioned by Budget Director David Stockman and supported by Senator Lugar , the prospects of huge new federal budget deficits, and possible cutbacks in social securitybenefits in Congress next year. “This campaign will give Indiana voters a real choice,” Fithian said at his announcement. “They can choose a Dick Lugar who voted four times m the last year to cut Social Security benefits, or a Floyd Fithian who has always fought to strengthen Social Security. Fithian raised the possibility that Reagan budget chief Stockman would attempt to cut Social Security benefits after the 1982 election “Dick Lugar has shown that he’s ready to rubber stamp the Stockman line. But Floyd Fithian isn’t anybody’s rubber stamp. ” Fithian also charged that be and Lugar differed on the issues of fairness. “Voters can choose a Dick Lugar who voted to give billions in tax cuts to wealthy corporations, or a Floyd Fithian who voted to give those tax breaks to small businesses and working families.” he said. “Unless the federal government changes the economic policies which Senator Lugar has supported. Indiana will continue to suffer from higher unemployment, higher interest rates and higher budget deficits in the years to come.” In part of his statement on Tuesday Fithian remarked “Over the last seven months. I’ve been to every part of Indiana, working to bring new Democratic common sense to state government But, wherever I’ve gone. I’ve seen national economic policies take an increasingly harsh toil on Indiana working families. I have been angered by the new federal budget proposal, with its blueprint for massive

addressed to the Kosciusko County Commissioners: The response from Governor Robert Orr, in his letter of October 26 was that his office shares the concern expressed. He stated that selected sites that are in unsound geological locations were being phased out pursuant the state and federal law. He further stated and I quote, “Historically, the Indiana General Assembly has determined that the development of sanitary landfills is a local government responsibility. The General Assembly affirmed that position when it excluded sanitary landfills from the hazardous waste siting bill passed in 1981.” He further stated and I quote, “The Packerton Landfill’s permit expires on January 1. If capacity still exists, the landfill can follow standard procedure and ask for a permit renewal. Assuming capacity exists and the landfill has been operating in an acceptable manner, the permit renewal should be possible. Under said date of October 30, 1981, a reply from the State Board

Richel were unanimously approved as members of the board of directors. They will serve for a three-year term. There were no other nominations from the floor.

Afunctional building to be proud to have

By VICKI HYDE-HICKEY

“From what I heard from the residents of the county, they wanted a functional building; they wanted a building they could be proud of,” according to Kosciusko County Auditor Jean Northenor. “And I think that’s what we have — something every resident of the county can look at and say ‘There’s a part of me.’” Mrs. Northenor is. of course, talking about the newly-opened Kosciusko County Justice Building, located at 121 N. Lake Street in Warsaw. The building is located on the east side of the existing courthouse, and is connected to the new facility by an underground tunnel. “The building is aptly named the Kosciusko County Justice Building. It bouses all three courts — circuit, superior and county court. It bouses the prosecuting attorney, the probation department, the county clerk’s office. The far west end then bouses the jail. The existing courthouse building, when the renovation and restoration is completed, will house all other components of county government — the auditor’s office, treasurer’s and accessor's offices, and the Wayne Township accessor. The health and welfare departments will be housed upstairs Also slated to find new offices in the courthouse will be the Kosciusko County Extension Office, currently located on SR 15N; when their move is complete. they will be housed in the basement of the courthouse. “So,” Mrs. Northenor commented, “We’ll have all the county government under one roof, connected by an underground tunnel." Plans now call for a mid-month move for the sheriffs department into their new quarters. Mrs. Northenor said that it will quite likely be until mid-April before all the departments are in place in the courthouse. On the top floor in the new building are the circuit court judge and his staff (on the north side of the building). On the south side are the superior court judge and his support staff Then in the. middle, ringed by a corridor, are the circuit and superior courts. Also on this floor are the prosecuting attorney and his staff. On the main floor (street level)

of Health set out much information regarding this situation and so stated the following as regards,' Scott Landfill in Kosciusko County. They advised that on September 27, 1978, Scott was notified of the pending phase-out for his site. On February 5, 1980, the operating permit renewal letter for this site was granted with the condition that thesite be properly closed by January 1, 1981. It should be noted that the present closure date of January 1 is a condition of a court consent decree. The consent decree is a resolution to a court action initiated by this agency as a result of Scott’s failure to comply with the January 1, 1981 closure date. This agency’s willingness to resolve the court action through the consent decree which has resulted in a year extension was in recognition of the need to allow the community additional time to establish a new waste disposal facility. However, they stated further, it should be emphasized that Scott and the county have had over three years of prior notice of the eventual closure of this site. We are absolutely

they’ve been getting from Dick Lugar. They deserve a senator who puts Indiana jobs ahead of Texas oil profits. A senator who is committed to a program of stable economic growth. A senator who believes, as I believe, and as Harry Truman believed, that the greatness of America lies not in the canyons of Wall Street or the boardrooms of Houston, but in the homes and hearts and hands of America’s workingfamilies.”

is the jail. “Everything for the jail is on the main floor — all the cells, maximum security and work release,” said Mrs. Northenor. Then on the court side of the building (facing Lake Street) are county court judge and his staff, as well as the county clerk’s office. The probation department is also on the main floor. In the basement are the meeting rooms, the mechanical equipment needed to run the building, the employees’ lounge, locker rooms for the sheriffs department, as well as a pistol range. Adding to the visual ambiance of the new building, according to Mrs. Northenor, is the extensive use of oak in the building, giving the facility a warmth, a quiet elegance Also of visual interest are the historical decoupages in the building, which. Mrs. Northenor explained, were enlarged from an atlas. “We went through mounds of histofncal pictures trying to pick (git things that covered the entire county — we

amazed at the fact that apparently no action had been taken or absolutely nothing done to make any effort to solve the drastic problem. This meeting had to be rescheduled on three occasions due to weather conditions, this being mentioned only to state that you commissioners were well aware of the reason we are coming, and yet, seemed so unprepared to offer any information further to us or even suggest any avenue we might take that would have any bearing on the problem that will effect the entire county before the end of the next 10 months. Attending the meeting, with open minds, hoping for constructive advice, we walked away with no satisfaction whatsoever. We feel that this is not a responsiblity of the SyracuseWawasee Chamber of Commerce, The Syracuse-Wawasee Area Development Co., or the Syracuse Town Board, however, with the lack of response from you Commissioners and knowing that this is a sincerely serious problem, we feel forced to take some action in one way or the other. It has been called to our attention that there is a possibility of funds available for the development (rs a new sanitary landfill and perhaps, the solution would be to purchase a tract of land, have it approved and then lease this out, under extreme supervision. However, if this should come to pass, it would be impossible to put together completely within the next 10 months and we, therefore, must seek an answer to the short range solution first. After hearing our feelings to date, we believe you will certainly agree that we know the situation but do not have any answers to solving this and appeal to you for advice and assistance immediately. The Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce also sent a copy of this letter to Representative Thames Mauzy, Senator John Augsburger, State Board of Health, Kosciusko County Council, Governor Robert Orr, Syracuse, Milford and North Webster Town Boards and the Kosciusko County Health Department

didn’t want them to center strictly on Warsaw You’ll find the Inter-Urban in Milford, the dredging of land in Jefferson and Scott Townships, a picture of the Bodkin farm in Lake Township and the city of Warsaw,” she explained. Another visual highlight in the Lake Street side of the building on the second floor, is the stained glass window. Hidden in the vivid colors of the mosaic are “reminders” of Kosciusko County, “In the very center is the town of Warsaw.” There’s a black line running through it, depicting US 30. Then you can go north in the county and find all the beautiful lakes in the county, as well as the lakes around Warsaw. Also in the picture —a cow and a pig and a chicken, a fisherman, a barn and a silo, you can find grain waving — we tried to hit everything that this county is known for— its recreation, its agriculture and its industries. Also in the picture is the seal of the State of Indiana.” Next Week: The New Jail.
