Bales withdraws APC request

By TOM CHARLES Staff Writer One case was dropped and two others tabled at the Wednesday, Aug. 1, meeting of the Kosciusko County Area Plan Commission in Warsaw. Darrell Bales, owner of Bales’ Butcher Shop in Syracuse, withdrew his request to rezone his 87 acre property of the south side of SR 13 near Bay view Drive from residential to commercial. Bales had requested the rezoning in order to accomodate building a small structure from which he could operate a wholesale beef business. APC members informed Bales that his proposed use of the property could be accomplished under the requirements of a home occupation permit. Such permits must be granted by the Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals. Pour of Bales’ neighbors were present at the meeting to voice their objections to zoning the property as pommercial. “You can't inject a commercial operation into the middle of a residential area without decreased valuation,” said Earle Waltz, one of the adjacent property owners “This property could not be zoned commercial without serious results.”

Lake City bid $438,750, or $195 per share for the troubled bank, with State Exchange shareholders receiving $25 for each share they own and a capital note of $l7O, due in 1991.

Bales plans to raze an existing structure on the property in order to make room for the new building. He plans to cut, wrap and freeze meat in the building. Bales noted that customers will pick up the meat or he will deliver it himself. “There won’t be a big commercial factory or supermarket in there,” Bales said. "At most, there might be 10-20 vehicles per week, with one delivery truck a week.” Bales will now take his request for a home occupation permit to the BZA at its September meeting.

July was beautiful Besides being a little bit dry, it was a beautiful July, says Lores Steury, Goshen College weather observer. It was a little bit cool with an average temperature of 70.1 degrees, compared to last years’ warmish 76.8 and an average July temperature of 73 degrees, it was the fourth coolest July since temperatures have been recorded, says Steury, with July of 1924 the coolest with an average of 68 degrees. On July 8 we felt only 42 degrees in the area with some locations reporting some frost. Eighteen days were below normal in temperature for the month and only three days topped 90 compared to 13 days last year. Precipitation was below average too with only 2.13 inches. The normal average is 3.22 inches. January 1 through August 1 precipitation totals 19.18 for 1984, average is 19.79. There were 13 clear days in July, 10 partly cloudy, and eight cloudy.

Short retail merchants meeting

(Continued from page 1) Director, of WFFT Channel 55, Fort Wayne was also at the meeting. The main item discussed at the outset of the meeting was about the upcoming Sidewalk Days, August 9-11. Evans reported that the attempt to get Main Street to Harrison Street blocked off during the days failed. He suggested that it would be a good idea to begin working on blocking the street for next year’s Sidewalk Days as soon as possible. Evans told the group that he went in front of the Chamber of ■ Commerce asking for matching funds for advertising of the Sidewalk Days. The Chamber inn* formed him it would match up to $250 for the project. Even though a total of SSOO should be raised for the advertising. a bill of $765 was presented at the meeting by Siemer. The Retail Merchants have 40 10-second spots on Fort Wayne’s Channel 55 this week, while 23 additional spots will be aired on South Bend’s WSJV TV, Channel 28. "We need to raise as much money as possible,” said Evans. "I will not be afraid to go back to the chamber and ask for more money, if we raise more than $250.” In new business, Evans informed the group that applications for vice president and secretarytreasurer are still being accepted. He went on to state that someone has already shown interest in the vice presidency, but he is concerned about the other position. ‘ The merchants decided to support the Winter Carnival, but made it clear that they would not be in charge of the activities. In year’s past, the Retail Merchants operated the carnival, but two years ago decided not to continue the task. That decision was firmly approved at Tuesday’s meeting. Moonlight Madness was another issue discussed. It was suggested that they continue to hold the activity on the Thursday

following the schools’ Halloween carnival. Last year Moonlight Madness was held on a Friday, but was not as successful as was hoped. Because of the poor turnout, Evans, along with the approval of those present, decided to return to the Thursday evening format. In final action, the merchants decided to switch their regular meetings to the Beacon Restaurant, provided that it is okay with restaurant management. The September 10 meeting has been tentatively changed from Das Keller’s to the Beacon. Car hits garage A one-car accident on Syracuse Street and Old Road 15 Saturday morning.

MINOR INJURIES — Milford Police Deputy Rich Schneiders and Mike Hobbs of the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s department, investigated a two-car accident at the corner of Old Road 15 and 900 N, south of Milford on Friday afternoon, Aug. 3. According to the police report, a car driven by Herschel Wehrly, Warsaw, was northbound on Old Road 15 when a car driven by Mark Kramer, Des Plaines, 111., failed to stop at the intersection. Both cars received extensive damages in the accident, but no figures were released. The Kramer car spun around and landed inches from the Conrail railroad tracks, while the Wehrly vehicle proceeded an additional 300 feet on Old Road 15, before coming to a stop behind a nearby house. Mary Kramer, a passenger in the Kramer-driven vehicle, was transported to Goshen General Hospital by a Milford EMS crew.

Syracuse sump pump study

The Town of Syracuse has received approval from the State Board of Health for a sump pump program plan of study. Joe Dock, utility supervisor, commented the program is required by the State Board of Health prior to proceeding in the Environmental Protection Agency grant program. Every homeowner, business and institution in Syracuse will be receiving a survey questionnaire with the sewer billings. The tentative mailing dates are August 9, 17, and 31. All persons receiving the questionnaire are urged to reply. The survey is to determine the number of sump pumps (both basement and crawlspace), basement drains and roof drains. The town will temporarily employ two persons for the inspections, which will begin approximately September 1, to those homes which have responded to the; survey. The town board asks the ques-4-H Fair Livestock Auction good (Continued from page 1) Leesburg Grain and Mill. Her 122- and 131-pound animals sold for sl.lO per pound.

The 117-Suffolk lamb, owned by the Silver Lake youth, sold for $672.75, while Leslie Barber, Warsaw, witnessed as the Reserve Grand Champion Market Lamb went for $228. Ben Lipply, Silver Lake, and MB. Tusing, Leesburg, each received $2lO for a half-gallon of milk. Purchasing the milk from Lipply’s Grand Champion Guernsey were Ferris and John Abbott, of the Professional Insurance Center, Warsaw, and Bob Lozier, representing Associated Milk Producers Inc., Warsaw.

Perhaps one of the highlights of the auction, besides the high prices, was the donation of time by the auctioneers. Eric Yoder, Larry Evans, Max Metzger and Dennis Polk all donated their services.

the sewage treatment system with the state board of health. During periods of high ground water and heavy rains, the town’s wastewater treatment plant becomes overloaded with excess storm and ground water. "Treatment of this excess water has been expensive and occasionally causes back-ups in people’s homes, businesses and yards. "If the survey and inspection can be performed in an expeditious manner, the town has the possibility of saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in expansion costs which will directly effect sewage rates in the near future.”
