Lakeland towns ready for winter weather

(Continued from page 1) emergency is declared, Dock suggests cars are not left standing on the following streets: Main, W.E. Long Drive, Chicago, Pickwick Road and Huntington. Helpful Hints Dock offered several suggestions for drivers to follow so that the removal crews could accommodate residents and do a better job for.them. On street parking is not advised when off street parking is available. In circumstances where off street parking is not available, residents are asked to move their cars after the snow plow passes enabling crews to clean up snow trapped by the parked cars. Dock < commented on snow removal difficulties by saying, "I hate to plow people in, but there’s no way to avoid it.” If residents wait to have their driveways plowed until after the crews have made their final pass, they will save money and avoid blocked driveways. Another area of concern is dead end streets. "With cars parked at the end of dead end streets, we have two choices We can plow out the street and build a mound of snow three or four feet high behind the cars or we can not plow and let the residents drive through four to six inches of snow.” Dock continued to say dead end streets usually are not plowed since it is easier to drive through several inches of snow than it is to dig a car out of several feet of snow. Citizens should be aware there is no parking in the lower Main Street parking lot from 2 until 6 am, which is the time used to clean off this area. Crews try to begin work on the uptown streets no later than midnight and take an average of six hours to complete part or most of the job. With crews working these hours, the streets are clear before people begin to travel to work when possible. Dock sees the main job of the snow removal crews as "making it easier for the people to get around,” and with cooperation like they had last year, the crews will once again enable residents to "get around" easin* this winter.

MUford Ordinance In order to assist the Milford street crew and be saved from towing expenses, residents should know Milford has a snow removal ordinance, according to Bill Knowles, Milford street commissioner. In the downtown area, no parking is allowed from 2 until 6 am. on Main Street from Catherine to First Street and on Emeline from the railroad tracks to the alley behind the First National Bank. Knowles also suggests the lot behind the town hall be free of x autos until 8 a.m. so the crew can clean the emergency medical service area and the parking lot itself. On side streets, there is no ordinance requiring citizens to move their vehicles when parked on the street, but Knowles suggests the same consideration used on Main Street be used on the side streets. "When citisdns observe the snow plow working in their area, we suggest they move iheir vehicles temporarily. That way we can clean the streets and give them more clear parking space ” North Webster Tips Marshal Charles Parker noted the North Webster area has no designated snow routes hut "it would sure help us and the residents if cars can be removed from the streets.” If off street parking is not available, Parker suggests all cars be parked on the same side of the street. Road crews begin their work early in the morning and try their hardest not to plow in private driveways. In turn, Parker suggests private businesses and residents avoid shoveling snow from their driveways into the street. Winter and snow is inevitable in Northern Indiana, but if Lakeland residents follow the suggestions given by their respective officials, winter driving can be safer and less of a hassle for everyone.

Mayer's van came from Wakarusa firm

When Nohnan D. stayer died last Wednesday, Dec. 8, while staging a nuclear weapons protest at the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., he was in a “Util-I-Van” manufactured in Wakarusa by Ultilimaster Corp., late in 1981. The 66-year-old Mayer purchased the Wakarusa-made vehicle from a Florida dealer and converted it into a vehicle in which he could live in case of a nuclear attack on the nation, according to reports. Ultilimaster spokesmen in Wakarusa stated Tuesday that

the Util-I-Van was a 1982 12400 t cab-over model manufactured in September or October 1981, for delivery to the Florida dealer. It was a standard vehicle without any of the interior features described at the time of the Washington, D.C., tragedy. Wakarusa officials said there was no check made locally, as reported about the community, by Washington officials, regarding whether the vehicle was bullet-proof. Any check on details of the Util-I-Van which might have been made were made with the Florida dealer.

Caution, care essential in winter driving With the first noticeable snowfall, caution, concentration and care should be the watchwords of all drivers on the roadways this winter. A safe driver should always be alert for changing conditions. Drivers should start all maneuvers smoothly avoiding jackrabbit accelerations, increasing following distances, remembering speed limits apply only to good road conditions, and signaling turns and lane changes well in advance. To get the feel of an icy road, apply light brake pressure and prepare to stop much sooner than you would on dry pavement. Stopping distances can be 12 times greater on ice. To slow or stop, don’t jam on the brakes, instead, apply slow steady pressure. Pumping the brakes may cause the wheels to lock resulting in a loss of control. Drivers shouldn’t be fooled by warming temperatures. When it's 32 degrees, stopping distances on ice are twice as great as when the temperature is zero. Be alert for icy patches in shaded highway areas and remember bridges and overpasses freeze before roads. W’hen driving in a heavy snowstorm, use low-beam headlights the same way you would drive in heavy fog.

Warm and rain in December The first seven days of December brought unseasonably warm temperatures and a lot of rain to northern Indiana. This week Goshen College weather observer Lores Steury compares that seven-day period with the same period for the past 67 years. An average temperature of 53.7 degrees for this seven-day period is the average usually expected in mid-October, and well up from the normal of 32.4 degrees. The records had been 48 degrees (1951) for a high average, and 17.7 degrees (1977) for a low A total of 2.38 inches of precipitation was recorded during this period, compared to a normal of 2.10 inches as an average for the entire month Steury commented that if this would have been snow instead of rain it would have totaled over two feet M?

Mayer had parked the Wakarusa-manufactured vehicle at the foot of the Washington Monument Wednesday morning and warned police that the vehicle contained explosives which he would detonate if they approached the van. Wednesday evening he started to drive the van away from the monument. It had traveled a few yards when it upset after hitting a flagpole. Police opened fire and Mayer was shot in the head, dying minutes later. No explosives were found in the Util-I-Van. — Information and photo from Wakarusa Tribune.
