Commissioners receive bids for computers

The Kosciusko County Commissioners voted unanimously on February 6 to set in motion the first step of a two-step program to either lease or purchase computers for county offices. The commissioners will receive bids for title computers on Monday, March 12, at 1:30 p.m. Bill Jones, a systems analyst with the State Board of Tax Commissioners, discussed, with the commissioners the possibility of combining computer services with the City of Warsaw, but suggested that all parties would probably be better off with their own systems and not merging into one central computer system. Fred Gilliam made a motion to continue the agreement with David Griffith & Associates of Northbrook, 111., to provide consulting services to the county. In other business the commissioners: •Granted permits to General Telephone Co., United Telephone, Area residents in 3-vehicle accident A vehicle driven by Betty L. Yates. 44.12414 CR 148, Syracuse, slid into the path of a car driven by Galen L. Haney. 51, North Webster and Haney’s vehicle in Purn collided with a vehicle operated by Gregory S. Haviland, 17. Syracuse. Monday, Feb. 27. The mishap started when Mrs. Yates attempted to turn off US 33 onto CR 33 south of Benton Street. Her 1980 Chevrolet promptly slid into Haney’s automobile which was stopped on the road, before hitting Haviland. Sgt. Walter E. Miller from the Elkhart Sheriff’s Department investigated the accident with no extensive damage reported to any of the three vehicles.

Trooper Orcutt also requested the installation of a fourway stop sign at the intersection of Old Rd. 30 and Harrison St. in Atwood. Commissioners voted to take a traffic count to determine the need for the stop sign. They also decided to move a yield sign from Southwood to Woodland Drive in the Southwood Addition, south of Warsaw. Plat Maps Committee The commissioners discussed new plat maps for the county with Bud Ooley, plat mapping consultant with the State Board of Tax Commissioners. Ooley will draw up specifications for the maps and present them to the commissioners soon. A plat map committee was formed consisting of Commissioners Lynch, Dorsey and Gilliam; County Auditor J.D. Geiger; County Assessor Avis Gunter; County Surveyor Charles Brower; Councilman Larry Teghtmeyer; and County Attorney Rex Reed. Rezoning Requests The commissioners voted to approve the rezoning of land owned by Quality Hardwood Products of North Manchester. The 60-acre tract of land was rezoned from agricultural to residential, while five acres were rezoned from

agricultural to environmental. The property is located along CR 525 W and on the southeast side of Palestine Lake. A petition to rezone a 40-acre tract of land from agricultural to light industrial was approved. The tract, located along Tinkey Road, just south of the existing plant, is owned by Kralis Brothers of Mentone. The commissioners rejected a request by Barbara Erhardt, a member of the Kosciusko County Lakes Preservation and Development Council, to declare a moratorium on sub-divisions until the county master plan can be updated. County Attorney Rex Reed said it is neither advisable nor practical to suspend the operation of the Plan Commission ordinance until review of the master plan is completed.

Augsburger seeks third senate term

State Senator John B. Augsburger (R-Syracuse) announced on Friday, Feb. 24, his intentions of seeking reelection from the 13th senate district. Augsburger said the prudent management of state government and innovative approach to economic development provided by Republicans have paved the way for the long-term economic stability of Indiana. “Thanks to strict budget control and an aggressive program of economic development proposed by the Orr-Mutz administration and enacted by the senate and house of representatives, we can today state that Indiana stands on solid economic ground,” Augsburger commented. In the senate, Augsburger is chairman of the Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Committee and a member of the Commerce and Consumer Affairs and the Agriculture and Small Business Committee. In addition, he serves on the Indiana Natural Resources Advisory Committee, the Indiana Film Commission and the Indiana Soil Resources Study Commission. The two-term lawmaker is president of Augsburgers, Inc., which operates grocery stores in Syracuse and North Webster. He is a past president of the Milford Chamber of Commerce and previously served as northern chairman of the United Fund in Kosciusko County. Augsburger holds a bachelor’s degree from Indiana University and is a member of the Free and Associated Masons Lodge No. 418. He was elected to the senate in 1976 and was reelected in 1980 by nearly 67 percent of the vote. He has served the Kosciusko County Republican Party as a precinct committeeman and represented the county as a delegate at four Republican state conventions. “I have always taken an active interest in my community, my state and my country,” Augsburger remarked. “And as a member of the Indiana Senate, I have worked hard to represent _ the best interests of residents of all four counties in this district. I look forward to the opportunity of serving another term as 13th district state senator.” The 13th district includes all of LaGrange and Noble Counties,

Train-truck accident claims life of young Milford fanner

(Continued from page 1) back,” informed Milford’s Fire Chief Max Duncan. “The train Saturday had seven cars lined together, and if they would have caught fire, or something, Milford wouldn’t be Milford any longer.” Milford, with the help of Congressman John Hiler, may have the crossing signals up sooner than Conrail anticipates. Mrs. Bice, who received a letter from Hiler Monday, Feb. 27, learned of his interest in helping Milford correct the problem established by Conrail’s slow movement. Also in the letter from the LaPorte legislator, Hiler informed the town that Napier was suing the Pennsylvania Railroad company. In the November 1982 accident, Napier was seriously injured at the Fourth Street crossing. Dead At Scene Beer, who was pronounced dead at the scene by Kosciusko County Coroner Gary Eastlund. was dragged in his truck 700 feet before being thrown from the vehicle.

Fascination for deer antlers

By ROY GRIMES Wildlife Biologist Indiana Division Os Fish & Wildlife There seems to be among sportsmen and other animal fanciers a tremendous fascination for deer antlers. Probably the most effective method of attracting a deer hunter’s attention is not by mentioning E. F. Hutton, but to comment on a “monster” pair of antlers found on some back 40. This intrigue associated with antlers is well deserved. The branched antlers of the members of the deer family are reputed to be the fastest growing tissue in the animal kingdom. Further, it is almost unbelievable to learn that these sometimes elaborate adornments are shed each winter and a new set grown annually. In 1975 the Division of Fish and Wildlife determined that a system was needed by which the

Kosciusko County Sherrif C. Alan Rovenstine; county patrolman Steven Knipsel; Milford Town Marshal David Hobbs; and Indiana State Policeman Dan Ringer investigated. Services for Beer were set for Tuesday morning but have been rescheduled for 1:30 this afternoon, Wednesday, Feb. 29, at the Mishler Funeral Home. Officiating at the service will be Rev. Jesse Beer, Milford Apostolic Christian Church; and Orville Ringger, pastor of the Bluffton Apostolic Church. Born July 7, 1958, he was the son of Carlton and Mary Ann (Sauder) Beer, Milford. He was married to Shari Kaehr, November 16,1980, who survives. A member of the Milford Apostolic Christian Church, he was president of the District II Indiana Holstein Association. Other survivors include one daughter, Kristen, at home; three brothers, Dan, Syracuse, Steve and Fred, Milford; a sister, Mrs. Russ (Patricia) Mikel, Oxford, Ind.

quality of our growing herd could be permanently recorded Thus the birth of the Hoosier Record Buck Program which serves to record quality, harvest location, and honor the hunter who harvests an outstanding buck. This system was adopted from the long established National Boone & Crockett trophy recording system. In order to administer this antler scoring system it is first necessary to classify the “racks” as being typical or non-typical configuration. Typical antlers are those normal, symmetrical, and well balanced characteristics. Non-typical antlers on the other hand, are those having abnormal antler “points” either in position or shape. The scoring of typical antlers involves the summation of measurements (in inches) of the distance between main beams (greatest spread), length

Also surviving are two grandmothers, Mrs. Ezra (Luella) Beer, Milford, and Mrs. Dan (Matillda) Sauder, Eureka, 111. L He had one brother who preceded him in death.

of all normal points, and circumference measurements at four locations on each beam. Subtracted from this summation are the lengths of any abnormal points and differences in symmetry between the main beams. Non-typical antlers are scored in the same manner except that the abnormal point lengths are added rather than subtracted from the total score. Minimum score for typical antlers is 140 while it takes a score of 160 to be recorded as a trophy non-typical rack. Only deer taken by legal methods and weapons and by rules of Fair Chase are eligible for Hoosier Record Buck consideration. These rules dictate that animals cannot be takeri from aircraft or other motorized vehicles, use of walkie talkie (or CB) cannot be used to direct hunters, nor (in Indiana) can dogs be used to chase the deer. More truly huge antlers were
