NIPSCO extends winter program

Northern Indiana Public Service Company will extend its “Winter Protection Plan” to May 1, Edmund A. Schroer, NIPSCO chairman and chief executive officer, said Friday, Feb. 21. NIPSCO announced its Winter Protection Program, including state-administered Project SAFE in October to assist needy customers through the coldest months of the winter by providing bill payment assistance. The disconnection moratorium for recipients of Project SAFE assistance, as directed by an order of the Public Service Commission of Indiana will end Saturday, March 15. NIPSCO, in an attempt to provide customers time to resolve any bill payment problems, has decided to extend its Winter Protection Program again this year. “Project SAFE recipients who receive a disconnection notice and contact the company for assistance will be instructed to seek aid from local energy assistance programs and social service agencies, ‘ ’ Schroer said. “We are in business to serve and every attempt will be made to continue service for those customers who are willing to make a ‘good faith’ effort to make some payment.” the utility chairman said. Customers identified as hardship cases by labor organizations and/or human need agencies will continue to be considered for an extended payment agreement, he said.

the results of the poll, which included questions on a number of the major issues being debated by legislators during the current session of the General Assembly. On the question of legislation to aid in relieving the problems of obtaining liability insurance at a reasonable cbst, 70 percent of the approximately 300 persons who responded to Augsburger’s poll were opposed to the state providing some type of assistance to local governments and businesses. Asked if a limit should be placed on the amount that a person can receive for noneconomic damages from a liability claim, 94 percent said yes. Nearly seven of ten persons responding to the questionnaire favored the establishment of a “career ladder” program which would provide pay incentives for public school teachers who exhibit exceptional skills in the classroom. Given four choices for methods of addressing the issue of Indiana’s license branch system, 36

Gasoline is composed of nearly 300 different chemicals, some of which can cause anemia, kidney disease or cancer, and it is quietly seeping into our drinking water supplies. The contaminating sources: thousands of leaking, underground gasoline storage tanks at gas stations, factories, schools, farms and private homes all across the country.

recognition of 10 years of encouragement to their soil judging teams. Garry Tom and Max Tom, Tippecanoe Township dairy and notill farming partners, were honored with the Outstanding Conservationists awards. The Toms milk 80 cows, along with their farming operation of 330 acres of corn, soybeans and wheat, plus 200 acres of alfalfa. In 1985 all of their row crops, except for 12 acres were planted with no-till methods. A combination of no-till planting, winter cover crops and hay in rotations protects their rolling farm land from soil erosion. The Toms hosted the conservation district’s tillage field day at their farm this past summer. Myron Metzger, Claypool, past chairman of Kosciusko SWCD for 20 years and board member for 25 years, was honored with an Outstanding Service plaque, as was Robert Norris, Mentone, for 28 years of dedicated service to the Kosciusko SWCD board of supervisors.

Letters to the editor

Detriment to our community

Dear Editor: The proposed Milford mobile home park on CRI2SON will be a detriment to our community. This area has been well planned and the homes were originally built by the personnel of ChoreTime and Brock Manufacturing. It is the best and most realistic location for future growth of Milford for permanent housing. Has no one the foresight to see that a trailer park in this area will hinder future home building? Hundreds of people have signed petitions protesting this trailer park, and yet it seems, it will be railroaded through without due thought given to the effect on our community. Can anyone answer my questions concerning this trailer park? The park appears to be about 80 percent hard surface, which will create a drainage problem. Will this water drain into yet another of the local ditches? Where does the dirt come from to build a four foot high wall around the trailer park? How does county farm land become city taxable property? How is annexation handled? How long is the “life” of a trailer? Will the trailers all over town be moved to this park to clean up the town? Who will enforce the 20 mile an hour speed limit when it is not enforced now? Will we hire more law enforcement? Who will maintain the roads in this area when they are in poor condition at present? Who will oversee the trailer park? Who has seen or read the lease that, supposedly, regulates conditions within the park? Who will remove the snow and clean the streets in

the park? What kind of recreational facilities are provided? Is there a swimming pool, playground equipment, tennis courts, etc., or does the near-by school playground serve this purpose? Why is water and sewage going to be supplied when, to many of us. it is not available? When will all town residents be provided water, sewage, and street lights? Will the water be fit for consumption? Will the two other trailer parks that are in the planning become a reality as easily as this one seems destined? Will Milford be surrounded by trailer parks? I may not have lived in Milford long, but long enough to know that Milford needs better government. Milford is blessed with lovely old homes, many of which are in disrepair and run down. Where is the pride of the town’s people to not preserve their heritage? The town is littered with trailers sitting on lots that should have been used for permanent housing. Not one of the surrounding communities has allowed its towns to be used in such away. Town growth will not be provided by turning farm land into trailer parks. Trailer parks will not keeo our young adults in Milford. We need a well-run town that will

A great game

Dear Editor: The Globetrotters better beware! Thursday evening the “Faculty” was challenged by the “Enforcers” for one great basketball game. All of the fellows played “their hearts out.” When the score was tied at the end of the regular play period, they shook hands and quit. They were entertaining, great sports that we can all be proud of. The pails they passed were not too heavy with money but we appreciate every penny. They donated to the Milford Sesquicentennial fund although most / of them were not from Milford. Thanksagain! Sesquicentennial chairman Jean Treesh Losing allies The United States, in spite of giving away billions, seems to be losing allies in various parts of the world proving that the dollar is not everything, after all.
