December 29 — Town, township to discuss Webster dispatching problems

By SHARON STVCKMAN Although dispatching for fire, police and EMS service will remain at North Webster, Richard Mitchell, Trustee of Tippecanoe Township, brought several dispatching problems before the North Webster Town Board at a joint meeting on Decembers The town board held its regularly scheduled monthly meeting and then met in joint* session with the township advisory board. The two boards had much discussion and the town board felt the need for another meeting for further discussion and some decisions. A joint meeting for that purpose was scheduled for December 29, at 7 pm.. in the town hall. Claims will be signed by the town board at that time. According to a ballot which had been cast by citizens of the town and township, the voters felt that dispatching for emergency services should be done locally rather than going through the sheriff’s department. Os the 434 votes cast, 348 were for retention of dispatching service in North Webster. After Trustee Mitchell, Jerry Rhodes and an EMT. Sue Ann Mitchell, told the board some of the dispatching problems they had encountered. A proposal was made by Mitchell whereby the township would take control of the radio dispatching and the

town would purchase service from the township President Bemish said the town board would need to give the matter some further consideration and study the costs of such a proposal. A recording system for all incoming calls for fire. EMS and police calls was discussed. It is estimated that such a system would cost about $2,500. A representative of a company who markets such a system is to be at the December 14 township advisory board meeting to further explain the system. Town board member Robert Breyer agreed to work with the advisory board in an attempt to settle dispatching problems and make recommendations to the town board at the December 29 meeting, regarding the township's proposal and the recording system. The town board also scheduled a special meeting for January 12 with Dan Richards. Kosciusko Area Plan Director, in attendance. At that meeting the board will discuss becoming a part of the plan commission. Several other items were discussed at the town board's regular meeting, including transfer of Condor Cable ownership. Marshal Charles Parkers request to waive probation for a dispatcher and two requests for sewage rate reductions.

am., at the home of Sarah Mitchell. Sarah, who is the daughter of Wilma Mitchell, is also owner-operator of Town and Country Dog Grooming. We were greeted by Sarah, Shadow the cat and Bridgette, Sarah’s apricot colored miniature poodle. Shadow, who is very playful, attacked this reporter’s pen, then turned her attention toward Bridgette's tail and several potted plants. Mimi was a bit skeptical as to why there was an extra person present. She was soon put at ease by soothing words and a gentle touch. Mimi was to have what is called a “Fancy Poodle Cut.*’ That meant she would have pom pons around each ankle and on the tip of her tail and a fluffy topknot. The rest of her body would be shaved very close. Mimi also got the works: she was clipped, brushed, shampooed, got a cream rinse, toe nails trimmed, ears cleaned and was blown dry. This reporter is convinced that grooming is a lot of hard work for the dog as well as the person doing the grooming. Mimi was soon panting from the effort of doing minor gymnastics to accommodate the electric clippers. Sarah was doing a few gymnastics herself in an effort to make the dog as comfortable and relaxed as possible. It seems the old saying “Crooked as a dog’s hind leg*' is no joke. It can be a problem to get the dog’s leg in a position for easy clipping and still keep the animal calm and comfortable. A real test of courage came when it was tinie to trim the hair on Mimi's feet and between her toes. The little dog crouched on

Condor Cable Company, which was in charge of the cable television proposal for the town, has advised the board that its franchise has been transferred to Triax Association 11. Town clerk Eve Payne agreed to contact Jim DeSorrento of Triax in Walkerville, Ohio, with regard to contract provisions setting forth a date for cable television service to be made available in North Webster. Marshal Parker requested that the town waive the remaining one month training period for dispatcher Inette Manuel and pay her as a full time dispatcher, beginning January 1. The request was approved. The marshal also told the board that he thought all North Webster dispatchers should be sent to communications school at Plainfield. The only tost to the town would be the wages of the dispatchers while they attended the school. was made. The board tabled the requests of Ken Sindelar, owner of Double Dip and Dunk It, and Wayne Jemigan for reduction in their sewage rates. Sindelar had made his request at the November 3 town board meeting and will be notified that the board members cannot act on his request until they get further clarification of the ordinance from town attorney Rex Reed. A decision was made by the board to deny a request from William K. Wiles of the Counting House Bank for a one hour parking limit on Washington Street, north of the bank. Although the members felt there was no necessity for the one hour parking limit they agreed to consult Attorney Reed to draft an ordinance for handicapped parking spaces. Clyde E. Williams and an engineering firm from South Bend, submitted a written recommendation to the board for a smoke test of the entire sewer system to determine

the table and tucked all four feet underneath her body. She looked up with a “Do we really have to do this part?” expression written all over her face. It was tegious and time consuming and it obviously tickled. Sarah was gentle, patient and methodical. Mimi held her paws as still as possible and this reporter felt an urge to squirm and scratch in sympathy. Sarah commented on how well behaved and cooperative Mimi was. She said, “Each dog is different. Some are very high strung and jittery and some want to “kissy-face” through the whole procedure Now that the toe trimming was over Mimi began to yawn with boredom. Sleepiness was momentarily postponed when she was plopped into the bath tub for a shampoo and cream rinse. She seemed to rather enjoy both. She didn’t enjoy the fact that Shadow had come up to the edge of the tub and was watching with great interest. From the tub it was back to the table for a good towel drying and then blow drying. That was followed by a complete brushing that started Mimi thinking about her postponed nap. As the pom pon trim was done on Mimi's tail the little dog watched every move of the scissors. Again, her face was very expressive as if to say, "Be very careful please, that’s my smile you're clipping into shape.” The finishing touch was a little red bow on each of Mimi's ears and a quick spray with doggie cologne. Just like anyone who has been to the beauty or barber shop Mimi knew she looked great. She pranced, wagged and asked to be admired.

The board tabled a decision on the recommendation Two quotes for liability insurance for board members will be studied by board member Robert Breyer and he will make a report to the board at the regular meeting on January 5.

Mrs. Walters arrived and Mimi departed wearing a handsome red sweater that just matched the bows on her ears. It seems the required gymnastics, being ticketed, putting up with buzzing clippers and tolerating a cat watching you get a bath was worth it all. Mimi certainly is going to look nice for the holidays. —NW— Accident in Milford injures one person An accident at Catherine and Henry Streets in Milford injured one person Saturday afternoon, Dec. 11.
