Col. Grey speaker — Syracuse honors veterans at November 11 ceremony

“We are gathered here today to honor the memory of all of our comrades in arms of the United States of America who have served in all wars to protect the freedom and honor of our country. Many men and women of the armed forces have made the supreme sacrifice so that we might enjoy peace. To them we are eternally grateful.” Col. Joe Gray, United Stated Marine Corps, retired, was the guest speaker at the Veterans Day ceremony Sunday. Nov 11, at the 11th hour, in Syracuse. The ceremony was conducted on Main Street in/ront of the public library. The ’entire block, from Huntington (SR 13) tt> Harrison was closed to traffic. Veterans of Foreign Wars Commander. Jim Hemminger, was in charge of this year’s ceremony. Color guards from the VFW, American Legion, Fraternal Order of the Eagles and the auxiliaries of each participated, as did the firing squads from the American Legion and VFW. “Taps” was played by Loree Mench. Among the honored guests were Tim Darr. American Legion State Sergeant of Arms and Owen AvWy, 37-year member of the American Legion. £ The rest of Col Gray’s speech is as follows: • • "Many years have passed since the full burden of war has enveloped this country As the sound of rifle fire and the distant report of artillery slowly fade from our memory, the importance of our commitment to peace presents us with a great challenge. “Those of us who have been through wars have no appetite for war again. As a civil war general put it. "War is Hell.” With the range of destructive power of modern weapons the mere thought of war strikes terror into the hearts of even the most courageous. "But weapons do not cause wars — people do Wars occur when government decide to use force to impose their rule on other nations. This question presents us with the core question of our civilization. Is there anything worth dying for? If your answer is “no” then generation upon generation of American sacrifice has gone for naught "But happily we are returning to the principles of liberty, freedom, peace through strength and patriotism It makes the heart glad to see the unveiling of

His job was made lighter when Smith told officer Felkner to do his duty, because he often cautioned students when they broke the law they had to face the consequences. The result: Smith was soon on his way home with a speeding ticket in hand.

Plan commission discusses recodification of ordinances

By BRENDA RHODES Staff Writer The Area Plan Commission met in the Old Court Room on the Third floor of the Court House on Wednesday; Nov. 7 at 1 p.m. to discuss the approval of the recodification of the ordinances concerning Zoning. Sub-division Control, and Mobile Home Parks for the Kosciusko County Code Book and to inspect the new Flood Plane and Rate maps for the Federal Flood Insurance Program. Although there were no continuances or new petitions on the agenda. Barbara Todd, of Todd Realty in Syracuse, was present to ask for input from the board regarding the future of a piece of property in Syracuse. The members of the board unanimously approved a recodification of the county ordinances dealing with zoning, sub-division control, and ordinances involving mobile home parks. The recodification was requested by the county commissioners. to clarify the language in the codes, eliminate inconsistencies, and define some ambiguous terminology in the county codes. Bradley Cain, an attorney from Marion, was hired by the commissioners to overhaul the code book. The revised version also included formerly unwritten guidelines

“He that believes there is nothing worth dying for says also that there is nothing worth living for. The price for peace is a strong policy to deter those aggressive nations of the world who would, through deception, threats, subversion and force, deprive us of peace today. •"I would like to-leave you with these words of General MacArthur at the close of the last world conflict, ‘lt is the hope of all mankind that from this solemn occasion a better world shall emerge from the blood and carnage of the past, a world founded upon faith and understanding, a world dedicated t the dignity of men and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish —for freedom, tolerance and justice.’ ”

that have been used by APC and board of zoning appeals members in deciding cases. An example would be a 24’ by 30’ size limitation on accessory buildings. New maps provided by the Federal Emergency Management Association were inspected by the board members. FEM A administrates the Federal Flood Insurance Program, which Kosciusko County has participated in since the e&rly 19605. These new maps are the first the county has received since the beginning of the program, and are much needed. There were two different types of maps, those that tell where the flood plains are, and those that tell the rates of the insurance based on statistical analysis of the. 100 and 500 year flood levels. “These maps include flood stage data that we have never had before for this area,” said Tom Hamilton, Chairman of the Kosciusko County Flood Control Task Force. “It’s something we really wanted.” Due to a mistake, however, Turkey Creek Township and the Barbee Lake Chain were not on the maps received. Federal officials will meet with the local planners and executive director of the Kosciusko County APC, Dan Richard, at 9 a.m. on Nov. 27 to discuss the maps. Sought Input Barbara Todd requested the board’s input at the suggestion of t Dan Richard, as to the best use of a piece of property south of Syracuse on SRI3, and bordering on the lake. The piece of ground, currently zoned as residential, is about 84 feet deep with a 184 foot lake frontage, and 188 foot road frontage. The owner currently leases winter storage space for fishing and skiing boats. There are about 30 boats parked on the property at the present time. The proposal put to the board was to resurvey the ground into 20 foot lots and sell them to boat owners as a place to store their boat. No buildings would be constructed on the properties. In the opinion of the realtor, this would improve the overall appearance of the area by cutting down on congestion. The general reaction of the board to this informal proposal was that dividing the lot up into smaller plots would create pro-

Flying the Alaska Highway

By DEE JAYNES Staff Writer

This past summer, after five years as a pilot, Marcia Nellans of Warsaw fulfilled a dream when she flew off in search of an adven-

■blems in monitoring activities at the sites. The current situation provides more control because there is only one owner to deal with, rather than nine or twelve. It would also be almost impossible to keep people from turning the area into a mini-campground during the warmer months. In other business, the board also agreed to form a committee to study the Land Evaluation and Site Assessment program. The system is designed to rate atricultural land on a point system to determine its assessment regarding preservation. Maria Rusomaroff outlined the program for the area planners. FmHA to begin loan reviews Reviews will begin at once of Farmers Home Administration loan accounts to see which farmers in Kosciusko and Wabash counties need and will qualify for a one-time set aside of part of their loan. Greg Smith, county supervisor said. FmHA has been authorized to set aside up to 25 percent — to a maximum of $200,000 —of the debt owed the agency for farmers who are experiencing severe financial difficulty, if the set aside will help achieve a positive cash flow for the borrower. “We will begin scheduling appointments for our borrowers to review their accounts, to determine if they need special assistance and see if we can make that assistance available,” Smith said. “Not every borrower will qualify for the set aside, but there might be some other way to help, such as consolidation or rescheduling of existing loans. We will look at all alternatives.” Smith said all accounts will be reviewed. There are some exceptions, suefi as accounts in bankruptcy or foreclosure or those determined able to graduate to other sources of credit.

ture; destination. Anchorage, Alaska, site of this year’s convention of the Ninety-Nines, an international organization for women pilots. With only 130 flight hours to her credit, Marcia left Mentone Airport on July 27 and flew to Oshkosh, Wis., to pick up her partner in the adventure, Eva Parks. Neither of the women had any experience flying in mountainous areas — in fact, Marcia had never flown farther than Sandusky, Ohio — but both had studied charts and supplements on the area and felt confident to try the flight. “You have to keep a healthy respect for the Rockies,” Marcia said. “You never know which way the wind will come from and the weather can vary a great deal, depending on which side of the mountain you’re on. We watched it snow on one peak, turned a corner and the sun was shining.” Marcia and Eva alternated the duties of pilot and navigator, stopping every few hours for rest and fuel. Their first stop was in Fort Nelson, British Columbia. The women walked through the streets of Fort Nelson at 12:30 a m. taking pictures — in the sunshine! After Fort Nelson, their stops included Dawson City, Fairbanks and Chena Hot Springs. The plane was grounded in Chena Hot Springs, just north of Fairbanks, because of bad weather. Since neither of the women are instrument rated, they are unable to fly at night or during inclement weather. The unscheduled stop enabled them to do some sightseeing in a rented car. Chena Hot Springs is actually a winter resort used by avid cross-country skiers and has no phones, radios or televisions. Al! the electricity for the area is provided by generators. Denali, Alaska, site of the Mt. McKinley National Park, was the stop on August 3. Marcia and Eva were able to see more of the area than they originally planned when they were grounded again because of fog. Marcia took a bus trip into the “wilderness” and was delighted to get a glimpse of Mt. McKinley through the fog bank, along with carabou and grizzlies. Since the weather showed no sign of clearing, the women left the plane and took a train into Anchorage, where they boarded a bus to Valdez, located at the end of the Alaska pipeline, and toured the glacier area. Marcia and Eva parted company briefly and Marcia took an excursion yacht across Prince William Sound to Whittier, coming within one half mile of the famous Columbia Glacier. “It was really exciting,” Marcia added, “being able to see seals and humpback whales that close. We also stopped to watch salmon fishermen. It’s a beautiful area — definitely worth seeing!” Both women met back in Anchorage for the convention, attended by more than 800 registered members of the Ninety-Nines. More than 90 of the members flew into the convention, two coming from as far away as Finland. Marcia is the

From the Syracuse Police log — Subject looking for place to sleep

The following information was obtained from the log of the Syracuse Police Department. November 7 1:31 a.m. — Subject on station for information on a place to sleep 9:42 a.m. — Party advised there is a strange car setting at a farm 3:23 p.m. — Subject advised lock out of house 7:04 p.m. — Subject advised of personal injury accident south of Crazy Corners 8:09 p.m. — Subject requested information on subject from personal injury accident 8:22 p.m. — Personal injury accident at Phillips 66 Novembers 3:21 p.m. — Subject advised party calling sister names and wants to fight 3:51 p.m. — Subject on station reference bike wants to pick up 6:33 p.m. — Subject with complaint of threatening calls 8:19 p.m. — Subject advised can hear deer in the woods

only Ninety-Nines member in Kosciusko County at the present time. She says the Fort Wayne chapter has approximately 24 members, 125 total throughout the state of Indiana. The return trip included stops in Whitehorse, Fort Nelson, Ft. McMurray in Canada, and the International Peace Gardens on the US/Canada border, ending in Oshkosh, Wis., on August 17. Marcia arrived back in Mentone on the 18th, after a total of 65.3 flight hours. Marcia emphasized that the preparations for this trip were far more extensive than just fueling the plane and taking off. In addition to the many maps and charts used for navigation, the pilots equipped the plane with a two-week “survival kit.” The equipment included enough food for two weeks, tent and sleeping bags, stove, fishing equipment, emergency flares, mosquito netting, three types of mosquito repellant, first aid kit and a 410 shotgun. “I had never fired a gun in my life,” Marcia laughed. “I think that was the most difficult part of getting ready for the trip!” Although the women never needed to use their survival equipment, the trip home did have one nervous moment. “We were flying through the mountains, of course, and we decided to take a short-cut,” Marcia said. “We ended up in the wrong valley and as we were climbing the plane began to pick up carburetor ice. There wasn’t any place to land and luckily we managed to fly over the mountains and the problem corrected itself.” Marcia said the main advantage of taking such a trip in a smaller plane, rather than a commercial jetliner, is “being able to enjoy the beautiful scenery.” The women flew at an average altitude of 5,500 to 6,500 feet at an average speed of 110 knots, approximately 125 miles per hour. “It is a strange sensation to fly through, instead of over, mountains,” Marcia added. “We could see the peaks of the Rockies above us at 14,000 feet and it was a little frightening, but beautiful.” At that altitude and speed, they were also able to clearly see the planted patterns of fields and notice the changes of seasons in various parts of the county, something commercial airline passengers usually miss. According to Marcia, one of the visual highlights of the trip was a spectacular rainbow framing a large raincloud in the Rocky Mountains. Above the rainbow, snow was falling on the mountain tops and Marcia said the sight was strange, but unbelievably beautiful. With the trip now just a memory, Marcia is back to work as a paper technician at R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company in Warsaw — possibly to pay her film processing expenses. Marcia took 17 rolls of slides during the trip — many from the plane. Is she ready to go again? "Sure,” Marcia smiled, “I’m going to have to wait a few years — but sure!”
