THIS FAMILY of Canada Geese is currently residing on and near the ponds of Big Boulder Golf Course in Milford and were captured by M-J photographer Doug Walker as they were spotted on an afternoon walk. Big Boulder manager Phyllis Custer said the two adult geese settled in Milford in early April, with the trio of baby geese appearing on the scene about three weeks ago. It is the first time to her knowledge that Canada geese have nested near the golf course, she said. Mrs. Custer said the geese are generally evasive when it comes to human beings, but don’t seem to mind sharing the ponds with a group of resident mallard ducks.

threat of rain. However, the seven-minute parade provided the opportunity for many to pause and reflect on the memories of those who gave their life for this country. Following the parade we were told the reason parade officials did not allow motor-operated bicycles in this year’s parade was not the noise, as previously reported, but the fact many of the riders did not maintain their positions during past years, often riding through the ranks of the junior high band and other units as they paraded down the street. If they were giving prizes and we had been named judge we would have had to give the best entry to Campbell’s Market for the float entered by that firm. It was delightful! The float featured two young clerks tossing candy to the crowd from an old fashioned store complete with antique cash register and baskets of fresh vegetables.

Hazardous landfill residents must move Three residents of a former conventional and hazardous landfill in the southwestern portion of the county will be forced to move because of improper permits and unsuitable soils. In a hearing May 10, Area Planning director Dan Richard testified that two of the residents did not have proper permits. The BZA filed a complaint for injunction against residents David Poage, Troy Varney, Breck Walls and landowner Max Montel, stating the men did not have proper permits to locate three mobile homes on the 22-acre site. A former hazardous waste landfill was operated by Lakeland Disposal on the property, located at CR 450 W, and was questioned on several occasions by the Indiana State Board of Health. Kosciusko Circuit Court judge Richard Sand cited the lack of proper permits, the leaching of undetermined materials on the land, the evidence of methane gas, and the data which stated unknown hazardous wastes were buried on the property. The resident have until August 1 to move off the property. Warsaw attorney Paul Refior, who has represented the residents throughout the case, could not be reached for comment. Richard said he would not comment on any details regarding the case, but admitted "things looked good.” "I would hate to make any comment on it until the whole thing is settled,” Richard said. Refior is expected to appeal the judge’s decision.
Returning to bridal registry A return to marriage and more costly weddings and the interest in owning a home immediately have contributed to the return of the traditional way of life. Signs of the times include greatly increasing numbers of bridal fairs and the regrowth of bridal registries with growing popularity to both brides-to-be and their fiance. Many department stores dropped their bridal registries a few years back but are now having them reinstated. The registry book has even beerycomputerized so that wedding or jshower guests can pick from a prospective gift list registered in all of one store’s different chains around the area. Handy hint Hang a roll of paper towels in the bathroom. You’ll soon find many uses for them.

WETLANDS EXPLAINED — Tom Hamilton, vice president of the Kosciusko County Lakes Association, right, was speaker at Tuesday's Syracuse Rotary meeting and explained the wetlands and flood control plains in the county. Pictured with Hamilton are Robert Knudsen, left, educational chairman of the lakes association, who introduced Hamilton; and Henry Wheland. Rotary President.
Tom Hamilton tells Rotary about wetlands, flood control plains
Tom Hamilton, vice president of Kosciusko Lakes Association, was speaker at the Syracuse Rotary Tuesday, May 31. Robert Knudsen, educational chairman of the Kosciusko County Lakes Association, introduced Tom Hamilton. Knudson has spoken many times on space exploration and its effect on the environment through research photographs on the effect of acid rain, flood plain erosion and many other applications of space photography. He said pictures are taken every 18 days from space from which we are able to locate problem areas on the surface of the earth. One of the applications can be used in the location and control of wetlands and flood plains. He said the Koscisuko County Lakes Association was reformed to face these problems. He then introduced Hamilton as the speaker for the day. Hamilton is the vice president of CTB, Inc, Milford, for advertising and is also vice president of the Lakes Association. Hamilton stated the Lakes Association was founded about two years ago as a result of the Corps of Engineers experience on wetlands development on the Tippecanoe Lakes Chain. At present there are 20 lakes in the county whose associations belong to the overall group. He also stated that the group is not against development but that wetlands and flood control plains are being purchased for development and the group feels that there are plenty of other lands which can be profitably used for development. The Lakes Association meets monthly at the assembly area at CTB and is open to anyone who has an interest in the quality of the lakes in Kosciusko County. The purpose of the association,
as expressed by Hamilton, is so that lake residents can stand together as lake organizations at county, state, and federal level where the lake quality is concerned. The group is interested in: zoning laws updating and the watching exceptions to the current laws; erosion damage and sedimatation control; taxation as it affects the ownership of property and the health of our lakes; farming practices as it affects the dumping of nutrients into the lakes and sedimentation, livestock production in the area for potation and weed and algae control; lake depth; road and bridge construction and their affect on restricting of flood plains; septic tanks and waste water disposal which may cause pollution; and state and federal legislation as they look at these matters. The organization is also looking at lake populations, who they are and what their interests may be. They are also working on a data base for water quality. This base will show fluctuations in water quality and sound an alarm when things go bad and show where things are being done right. This project is being done with the cooperation of Tri-State College. The group is also monitoring fish stocking and fish counts. Hamilton then showed slides where proper control of flood plains is evident and what happens when these basic laws of nature are broken through filling in of wetlands and flood control plains and restriction of water flow through road and railroad construction with their attending bridges and fills. The slides showed that where the flood plains and wetlands are intact that the water flows freely and overflows onto the plains with no harm to the surrouding
area. They also show that, where restrictions and fills are made, flooding occurs in the surrounding inhabited areas This not only occurs in the area of restriction or fill but also in other areas which have never flooded before. If the plains are destroyed water backs up from the point of restriction and from the downstream river source. This flooding affects all properties which come under the land concerned and should be a concern to all property owners and developers The Association believes that rules and regulations must be laid down to preserve the lakes and area. In conclusion he said that a task force on flooding has been formed in the county and they are looking into retention of waters, lowering of lake levels before spring run-off. upstream detention ponds, retention upstream wetlands and unevaluated wetlands to store flood waters, better zoning regulations, and river revitalization. The Kosciusko County Lakes Association asks for the support of concerned citizens in these matters. House prices differ A firm in Hinsdale, 111., has compiled a guidebook that shows how much an average home costs in more than 100 cities nationwide. For example, a three-bedroom house that costs $75,000 in Mobile, Ala., will set you back SIOO,OOO in suburban Chicago; SIIO,OOO in Houston; $166,000 in the New York city suburbs, and a whopping $325,000 in Los Angeles.
