Concerned about mosquitos
Dear Editor As a concerned citizen of Milford, I am very concerned about the lack of interest shown about mosquito control in our town and area I have had several people within the town state that they would be happy to contribute if the reason for mosquito control is finances However, several excuses have been made lor not fogging, spraying, etc., etc Over the Memorial Day week end. we had family and friends m to visit On Monday evening, we watched our four year-old grandson leave for home in Fort Wayne, sick from multiple' mosquito bites which he received while visiting here in Milford for two days I am certain that this may well be the situation with several other families We have made a great push for several things within our community and accomplished many, and well, they be. but why hasn't something been done in concrete force against a highly dangerous thing as mosquitos’ One year ago in June when we held our Vacation Bible School at The First Brethren Church, we found it impossible to let our children go outside because of so many mosquitos According to what we are hearing, mosquitos are going to be worse this year than they have been for many years Are we. the people of Milford going to sit idly by and run a tremendous chance of one or possibly several children or adults become ill or even end up m a death's’ 1 am calling for our Town Board to take action about some type of

He was commenting Tuesday morning as he viewed the good works of the Summer Youth Employment Program at the uptown parking lot. His comments referred to the pop and beer empty cigarette packages, even an empty bottle of Ronnco rum. that defaced the area in less than one short day The S-W Rotary Club has been instrumental in placing the memorial in front of the lot that at one time was the site of Syracuse High School. Sounds like a ready-made sleuth job for the Syracuse police.

Milford Students were enthusiastic Dear Editor: Thanks to Judy Schmal and her committee pf many for the great job they did in planning the Wawasee Freshman Welcome It was truly a success ‘ The students were enthusiastic and more than willing to participate in the events planned for them. The evening allowed students from the three schools to become acquainted not only with one anaher. but also with the faculty and the school building To see these upcoming freshmen par ticipating as the of 1986 while being led by their cheerleaders certainly generated much class spirit and school pride As one a the participating parents it was also gratifying to see so much faculty support They came voluntarily and on a
holiday week end I iitep think it should be mentionoHhat the 160 students who attended were well behaved and presented no problems. This in itself should say enough for the freshmen entering Wawasee High School next fall and along with the ujyjfr classmen they will join. to represent Waw asee as one of the finest high schools around Gloria Baumgartner Coverage appreciated Dear Editor Thanks so much for the ex cellent coverage of our open house Your pictures and news stones were great and much appreciated We have particularly enjoyed the picture of Bernice Barnes — she is such a great person and a fine supporter of all community events The Milford community can certainly be proud of its accomplishments last year and over the years Raising $12,000 for the completion of the com mumty building was impressive It is a good example of what can be achieved when everyone works together Once again, we appreciate the cooperation that we have received from you and The Mail Journal First National Bank Os Warsaw NealM Carlson President
Rezone 52.17 acres residential
The Kosciusko Area Planning Commission met Wednesday. June 2, at the county courthouse for its regularly scheduled meeting during which the board unanimously passed a request for rezoning a 52.17 acre parcel of land from agricultural to residential. The property, owned by Lewis Neibert erf North Webster, is located north of CR 500 N, south of Tippecanoe Lake, in Tippecanoe Township. The decision was made by the board after listening to a lengthy debate between the petitioner's attorney, Richard Helm of Warsaw, and the remonstrators. the Tippecanoe Lake Property Owners Association, represented by Tom Hamilton, vicepresident, and Jim Bolin. Several others were present to voice their opinions concerning the petition, three of whom were in favor of its approval. Helm pointed out during his presentation that of the 52.17 acres, only around 25 acres were being farmed- due to the sandygravel texture of the soil. The yearly return on this 25 acres, averaged over the past six years, brought in an income of $43.52 per acre, representing a 4.3 per cent return. In addition. Neibert’s attorney also called attention to the fact that there was existing residential development near 650 N and Armstrong Road. In remonstration, Hamilton stated, “This is Neibert’s second attempt in 1982 to have this land rezoned.” He expressed his concern that this “spot zoning” would have a devastating effect on nearby fanners and would endanger the preservation of the nature preserve and wetlands to the north of the land Hamilton also pointed out that some of the land was located in the flood plane which would cause “inherent problems" and would not be suitable for septic tanks Hamilton also described Neibert as having “continuing problems with his channel” with no sea walls and eroding banks. He claimed that there were property owners trying to "stretch the shore line” interested only in self gain without thought to the environment. Among those present speaking in fava- of the petition was Lee Tusing of Leesburg, also a Tippecanoe Lake property owner, who said “Not all property owners are totally against this." and he reminded those present that the issue at hand was to rezone a piece of land that was not suited for agricultural usuage. Jack Mason of Lake Wawasee also spoke in favor of the petition stating that the fact Neibert had not installed seawalls on his property had no bearing on his concern for the environment. Mason has himself tried to gain permission to install seawalls on his own property at Lake Wawasee. but was repeatedly turned down by the Department of Natural Resources who claimed sea walls would endanger the natural filtering system of the lake. After rebuttals from both the petitioner and the remonstrators the board directly questioned Neibert Board members Jerry Grady and Victor Virgil agreed that the land was not suitable to be zoned strictly for agriculture. After more discussion the board approved the request for rezoning Cook’s Plat Loveda Cook's preliminaryplat was also approved during the Wednesday meeting erf the APC Cook's Seaview Estates will include a residential subdivision and a pond on 7.11 acres of land located on the north side of CR 150 N. 600 feet west of Old SR 13 Both Mrs. Cook and Ronald Weaver, surveyor and engineer for the project, were present to answer questions by the board and to provide additional information as was requested at the last meeting A major concern of the board was the pond's ability to hold water resulting from heavy rains and drainage from storm conditions Weaver stated that the pond would be able to hold what he termed a “50-year ram. meaning it would hold 2.75 inches of rain falling in one-hour’s time, in the event of an extremely heavy ram The pond would also store 66.000 cubic feet of water, which according to Weaver is more than adequate for storm storage in the area Board members questioned Weaver on the existing four-inch drain as per its intended use and there was also some discussion as to the need of a standpipe in addition to the dram. Several Lake Wawasee property owners were present to express their opinions and ask questions of the proposed land development that will include the construction of masonry homes Other Action Action on two other cases was postponed by the board at the request of the petitioners, concerning the petition for preliminary plat approval of Northwood Estates and for Larry Heckaman's petition to rezone 7.5 acres to residential. The board unanimously passed a third petition. presented by Christopher and Lou Ann Roos to rezone four acres, more or less.
from an agricultural to a commercial district. The property, already commercially developed as “Clarksville.” is located on the west side of SR 13, one-fourth mile northwest of CR 550 N in Tippecanoe Township. Patrick Watkins, assistant planner, reported on a current study he is involved in regarding the census figures on population and current housing in the county. Watkins is revising the master plan for the APC and assisting the county in developing a new economic development plan, which was recently implemented by the Greater Warsaw Chamber of Commerce. The next meeting of the APC ” will be on Wednesday. July 7. at the Kosciusko County Courthouse in Warsaw at 1 p.m. Recommendations made by the APC for the purpose of rezoning will go before the board of county commissioners on Tuesday. July 6. at 11 am
