The EMS was called to his home at 9:29 a.m. William Pat Johnson, 57, r 1 box 117 Syracuse, was taken to Michiana Community Hospital Webster to protect interest iri suit filed North Webster Town Board has empowered its attorney, Rex Reed, to investigate and protect the town’s interest in a suit to quiet titled filed by Eugene R. Himelick, Champaign, 111., a summer resident of North Webster. The suit to quiet title names John J. Allen, Harriet Allen, Kenneth L. Lane, Carla Lane, Frank J. Sankus, Alma Sankus, Frank Buelow, Laura Buelow, Cheryl Leedy, Gerald N. Grover, Ethel Grover, Donald R. Pearson, Marjorie J. Pearson, Bernard Hubartt, Charlotte Hubartt, John Peperak, Beth Ann Peperak and any other persons claiming an interest in the real estate in question. Steve Snyder, Syracuse, attorney for Himelick, stated the suit concerns a parcel of land which lays south of an alley across from Himelick’s property in Warner’s Lake Front Addition. Himelick’s property is on a peninsula which only one other piece of property abuts the alley and where the ‘accretion” has suddenly occurred. A survey conducted early in 1985 when Himelick requested an alley vacation from the North Webster Town Board, showed extra footage on the lakeside of the alley from the original survey. Snyder stated this suit is a unique case as it will determine who owns the property which has developed over the years through the changing shoreline. Himelick owns lots three, four and five in that addition. Lots three and four is adjoined only by lot five and the alley. The portion of land laying south of the alley to lot five is not in question since Bernard and Charlotte Hubartt are adjoining property owners to that parcel of land.

ifW a declaration independence. BjST # OUNDt° l«9O Questions & Answers About LIFE & HEALTH IHSURAHCE Question 4: Are there different kids of annuities? Answer: In a sense there are two broad categories of annuities: private annuities and commercial annuities. In general, a private annuity is one where an individual exchanges property for a lifetime income with another individual. An example might be where a father will transfer ownership of the farm to a son in return for a lifetime income. A commercial annuity is one that is issued by a life insurance or annuity company. In this case the individual transfers money in exchange for a lifetime income. Question 5: What kinds of commercial annuities are available? Answer: There are two basic types —a fixed annuity and a variable annuity. Question 6: What is a fixed annuity? Answer: A fixed annuity pays a stated number of dollars on a regular basis, such as monthly, for the life of the annuitant. The insurance company guarantees to pay the same dollar amount every month for as long as the individual lives. Question 7:- How does a variable annuity work? Answer: A variable annuity is one where the dollars paid into the annuity are invested in a more “speculative” vehicle, and the periodic (monthly) payments to the annuitant will vary according to performance of the investments. Presumably, the amount of payments from a variable annuity will be higher during times of inflation and lower during times of deflation or recession. A qualified life insurance agent can provide more specific and personalized information on the various forms of annuities.

NIPSCO files petition on refunds Northern Indiana Public Service Company filed a petition with the Public Service Commission of Indiana Monday, Jan. 13, reporting that a refund of $231,629.91 would be completely distributed to customers in February. The refund is being made to all residential, commercial and industrial electric customers, and has been in effect since December 11,1985. On November 20,1985, NIPSCO filed a revised petition with the Public Service Commission of Indiana requesting to refund, via lower rates, an amount resulting from a refund it received from Indiana & Michigan Electric Company in accordance with lower rates approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. NIPSCO customers using 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity a month received a reduction of about eight cents per month for usage during that time. A NIPSCO customer using 500 kilowatt hours a month realized a reduction of about four cents a month. With the completion of the refund, rates win rise approximately these same amounts for these respective usages.
