added that over the years this soil oxidizes "A foundation can crack and change If you buiki on this land it should be dug out and replaced with clay or stable soil When this happens you lose an area of insoak down to the water table ’’ The wetlands can and will also be used for wildlife, soaking up floodwater and as a nutrient absorbant The nutrients from the fields and lawns, particularly phosphorus and nutrients, cause weed and algy growth which chokes all oxygen and the fish in the lake, in effect it causes the lakes death “With the wetlands you can prolong the life of the lake and make it more usable for those who want to use it.-” remarked Hamilton Water intake to Tippy Lake is mainly from Tippy River and Grassy Creek, which both have wetland areas. These nutrients which come from the fields and other sources downstream are trapped at the bottom of the wetlands before reaching the lakes These nutrients are trapped there forever and kept from being used by the weeds and fish “We have too many nutrients already coming into the lake from fertilizers and improper septic systems.'’ remarked Hamilton In addition to the land owned by Lakeside Associates, the wetlands around the two main rivers into the lake and other areas are being looked al. however no decision will be made until the firm contracted by the U.S Fish and Wildlife finishes their study Maps Being Made The firm, from Ohio, was contracted for S2O-25,000 to finish a study m the northern part of Indiana to identify all the wetlands and designate the types of wetlands This firm has had representatives in the field where potential wetlands are and representatives are drawing up maps from these findings Once these maps are completed and the areas identified as to the of wetlands the Koscuisko County Lakes Preservation and Development Council will study the findings

“We are only interested in protecting certain types of wetlands, remarked Hamilton who strongly stated no conflict with farmers and ecologist is wanted The wetlands mainly interested in by the group are those which have an effect on the lake “It’s getting critical here, there has been several areas already developed as residential in the wetland areas.” remarked Hamilton, who later added, “how could we live with ourselves if we don't do anything, we re in fact mining it " Eno»»«h Land During the press conference with the fund drive chairwomen. Hamilton and Dalton, it was brought out that the county zoning maps show 1,000 acres are zoned residential at Lake Tippy with approximately one-half of an acre per residence Out of those 1,000 acres. 650 acres do not have buildings on them There is plenty of land available for building without using the wetlands Part of the plan is to keep from having the wetlands used as residential areas, they noted Murphy to head Milford EMT's Members of the Milford Emergency Medical service elected John Murphy to serve as president for the coming year Serving with Murphy will be the following Vice president — Cheryl Brunjes Treasurer — Vicki Wilson Secretary - Susie Chupp Inservice training director — John Perry Supply director — Natalie Stump The technicians changed their monthly meeting date to the second Saturday at 11 a m Brown now dispatcher Ed Brown, a former dispatcher for North Webster Emergency Medical Service, has been hired by the Kosciusko County Sheriffs Department after the resignation of Judy Harris was received Judy Harris had been with the county sheriffs department since February and she resigned her position effective Saturday, June 5.

Sewer questions to be answered at Milford

(Continued from page 1) feet from the sewer line and the ordinance said 100 feet or more they would not have to hook on to the sewer. Others were told to return with their questions next week. Board president Steve Miller said they planned to have all the information requested prior to the work being done with specifications to be published, however, they would hold the special meeting, open to the public, in order to answer these questions now even though it would be some time before the sewers are completed. Gary Miller questioned the board on why the sewer was not running to his property at the comer of James Street and the Milford-Syracuse Road. He said he had water and would like sewer. He was told the engineer recommended he put in a six inch line and hook into the manhole nearest his property. There are no restrooms in the building and at the time plans were laid for the sewer line town records showed no water lines in that area. Miller said he had town water and had had it for some time, continuing that when Terry Beatty was street and water superintendent the line was run to his property The running of the water line was never reported to the clerk treasurer's office and Miller has not been paying for his water This is being corrected, however, the town board members said it would be to expensive to run a line for the installation of one toilet since the town would have to put in another manhole and it could not be justified It was suggested Miller too return next week and talk to the town’s engineer All further discussion on sewage was tabled until next Tuesday. Video Games An ordinance for the control of video games in Milford was discussed Attorney Robert Kirsch read parts of an ordinance adopted by the town of Bristol in 1978 Bristol charges SIOO per license with a S2O renewal yearly. It allows for only one license for each 5,000 people and listed requirements that had to be met including the inspection by both the building inspector and fire department. Kirsch said the only thing about the one license only was that the license could then be sold for a profit. A proposal had been made at the May meeting that the permit would cost SSO per machine per year with Mr and Mrs. Jack Baker objecting to that cost, stating they were in favor of control but the cost was extremely high Members of the Milford Town Board agreed they liked the Bristol ordinance but felt to eliminate problems they should not limit the number of licenses and the fee should be on a per machine basis. A $lO fee per machine was set and the attorney instructed to draw up an ordinance for the town. A notation was made to include the fact that school children will not be allowed to operate the machines during hours that school is in session New Apartments Steve Pulver and Bob Parrish of S J Pulver. Inc., of Avilla, were present to request permission to hook onto the town’s sewer and w’ater system with an apartment complex they plan in the southwest comer of Milford Pulver said they would install a lift station on their property and maintain it They will find where to hook on to the water main, run the line to the property and then turn it over to the town. The firm will work with town street and water coihmissioner Ron Conley Permission was granted Pulver’s firm plans to build apartments and townhouses, a total of 14 units, to be named Milford Meadows Apartments He said he took over the project when other proposals fell through and he will be the builder and the owner Construction should begin within the next 30 days Pulver said he ran a survey of the town and has a waiting list of about 30 people Trustee and Mrs Walter Wuthrich were present and asked if copies of bills they were paying could be made and sent to them This will be done The town and township share expenses for the fire department with the town paying the bills and then billing the township for its share Mosquitos Paul D Tinkle, a resident of South Main Street, addressed the board on the mosquito control problem in town Noting he had sent a letter to the editor of The Mail-Journal (see letter on

editorial pages) seeking support at the July meeting to rid the town of mosquitos. President Miller said the town only has S4BO for mosquito control and that go far. Tinkle said the town needs to fog or something in order to control the mosquitos. He cited the fact his grandson was ill when he returned because of mosquito bites and the fact the children in the First Brethren Church’s Bible School program last year could not go out of doors because of the pests. Tinkle stated his concern about a serious illness being caused. He was again told how expensive it was to set up a program and was told the town could not hold a fund drive to collect monies for such a project, however, an individual could. Town board member Darrell Orn said he felt they needed to check on how others handle the problem and following more discussion it was agreed Tinkle will do some checking and ClerkTreasurer Maria Lozano will make some calls to see what other towns do Area residents are being encouraged to mow grass with the town’s ordinance to be enforced Other places where mosquitos breed should also be cleaned up — standing water and junk ears are places where mosquitos breed. Miller said it had been 13 months since the cable television contract had been signed The company has a total of 18 months on the contract to install the cable system. He instructed Mrs Lozano to contact the company as there are people waiting for the service. Reports were heard from the fire chief. Max Duncan; the town marshal, David Hobbs; the civil defense director. Don Wooten; and a report was read from street and water superintendent Conley. Board member Orn said he had talked to the bank about parking and the closing of the pass through on the north side. It was decided because the night deposit is on the north side of the bank to leave the drive through in so merchants would not have to get out of their cars when making deposits at night. The town would only gain two parking places if this is closed and the bank has 20 parking places that it has added to the town’s parking facilities. Five of the 20 parking places are needed for the bank, the rest may be used by anyone Miller acknowledge the donation of two flats of flowers from William Wynn for the Memorial Day celebration Dispatching A letter was read from the Syracuse Town Board stating that the $2,000 dispatching fee will be raised to $5,000 next year Marshal Hobbs said it would cost the town S3BB installation to put a line into the sheriff’s department if dispatching were switched to the county and then $197 per month Since this would be far below the $5,000 it was decided to switch to the county as soon a possible. January 1 at the latest When the switch is made people will be able to call the Milford police number and the phone will be answered either by Milford officers or by the dispatcher at the county sheriff's office.
