Busy day at BZA

The Kosciusko County Board of Zoning Appeals had a large agenda of 29 cases to consider at its monthly meeting on April 14. Rulings on this day’s business took the board until about 3:30 p.m. One of the 22 petitions approved, some as is and some with conditions attached, was the petition of Maple Leaf Farms for an exception for the purpose of the expansion and/or change of an exception use (Maple Leaf Farm feed mill operation) by building a new laboratory in an agricultural district. The property is located on the north side of CRI3OON and 952 feet west of CR 300E in Van Buren Township. Kevin Haines, another Van Buren Township petitioner, had two petitions pertinent to the same location denied. He asked for permission to build a 960 sq. ft. garage on a lot on which a maximum size allowed for an accessory building is 720 sq. ft. He wanted to place the building six ft. off the side property line and five ft. off the rear property line. His property is located on the west side of Lura Circle and 300 ft. north of Matthews Drive in Van Buren Township. The BZA approved the petition

of Stonehenge Golf Club, Inc. for an exception for the purpose of a planned unit development in an agricultural district. This is the development for which the Area Plan Commission approved a final plat at its April 2 meeting. The property is located on the north and south sides of the Pierceton Road, between CR 275E and CR 350E in Wayne Township. ' Lawrence Knedle was given approval of an exception for the purpose of constructing a garage 20 ft. by 30 ft. in size on a lot without a principal structure in a residential district. This approval was with the condition that his two deeds be combined so they cannot in the future be sold separately. Thus the garage lot remains tied to the lot with the principal structure.The Knedle property is located on the east side of a 20 ft. road on a peninsula into Papakeechie Lake in Turkey Creek Township. Approval of an exception was given Jerry Brown for the purpose of opening a small parts machine shop home occupation in an agricultural district. The property is located on the west side of CR 175E and 450 ft. south of CR 450 N in Plain Township.

While one day without telephone service excluded some calls from the monthly report. 117 complaints were officially recognized, while 1,579 miles were logged, amounting to $109.90 for gasoline and oil. The estimated amount of damage in accidents investigated by Milford police officers for the four-week period was $2,100. Additional appropriations were also allowed by the board to cover a liability subscription fee and part-time pay and travel fees incurred as a result of Rovenstine’s absence during police training. Dave Hobbs, town marshal, added that the Milford Police would be providing security for the Big Boulder Dash, scheduled to begin at the Big Boulder Golf Course on Saturday, April 19. at 9 a m.

U.S. out of patience

By GLEN LONG Staff Writer Five selected targets in Libya were bombed Monday night at 7 p.m. EST to give Col. Moammar Khadafy an unmistakable warning that his continued promotion of terrorist acts against Americans will not be tolerated. The headquarters and terrorist facilities of the Libyan leader were included in the middle-of the-night air strike. Initial reports were that the raid was a success and that an attempt had been made to spare the civilian population. President Reagan, in a nationally broadcast address Monday night, said the United Stated has direct, precise and irrefutable evidence that Khadafy had ordered recent antiAmerican attacks, including the recent bombing of a West Berlin night spot frequented by American service members. Reagan’s spokesman, Larry Speakes, said our government has evidence that Khadafy had ordered more terrorist incidents and the air strike was to pre-empt and discourage Libyan terrorism. Speakes said “We took every precaution” to ensure that no civilians would be injured or killed. He would not discuss casualties or damage. Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said one Air Force F-11l plane was still unaccounted for. He said the attacks were mounted against five targets near Tripoli and Benghazi, using 18 F-11l bombers from U.S. bases in England and 15 A-6 and A-7 attack jets from Navy carriers America and Coral Sea. Speakes described the targets as Libya’s ’terrorist infrastructure-the command and control systems, intelligence, communications, logistics and training facilities.” There was no immediate word on the fate of Khadafy. His whereabouts during the attack could not be learned. Secretary of State George P. Shultz, appearing in the White House briefing room with Weinberger, stated that the Soviet Union was told of the operation as it was taking place and was assured it was “in no way directed at the Soviet Union.” Predictably, the Soviet Union has accused the United States of threatening world peace by attacking Libya. The Soviets have cancelled a planned Soviet American meeting to arrange a

cern brought to its attention at a previous meeting when John Murphy, former president of the Milford Emergency Medical Service questioned the town’s use of an insecticide to control the town's mosquito population. In a letter before the board Murphy stated that if it was using OXFORD 514 to control the mosquitos there was a violation of law because of a label on the product stating that it was “to be applied undiluted and then only for indoor use." The chemical company supplying the product agreed to replace the insecticide with one that is “appropriate for the town’s use’’ to appease citizens’ concerns, according to Knowles. Bice also announced that she had viewed the operation of a computer, used by the clerktreasurer of Churubusco, and felt it would be advisable for the town to look into the purchase of such

super power summit. Officials in Washington view this as a propaganda move and expect the meeting to be re-scheduled. President Reagan said in his statement. “We Americans are slow to anger We always seek peaceful avenues before resorting to the use of force, and we did { Khadafy continued his reckless policy of intimidation, his relentless pursuit of terror. He counted on America to be passive. Recounted wrong.” While congressional leaders generally expressed support Monday for the attack on libya, some felt they should have been consulted earlier in the decisionmaking process. Senator Richard G. Lugar, RInd., chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, said the briefing took place early enough so the raid “could have been call-

Report progress on drunk driving fight

Norma Anglin, executive director, Kosciusko County American Red Cross, has announced that Richard Schubert, national president. American Red Cross, is now a member of the National Commission Against Drunk Driving board of directors. Two years of remarkable progress have passed since the final report of the Presidential Commission on Drunk Driving was presented to President Reagan. On that occasion the President expressed the hope that the Commission’s recommendations would provide the impetus needed to reduce the unacceptable number of alcohol-related crashes. Calling drunk driving “a national tragedy and a national disgrace,” he urged “the adoption of whatever measures are appropriate to remove this hazard from our national life.” The May 1984, Louis Harris poll showed that the public’s number one health and safety priority is the avoidance of driving after drinking. At that same time, the Gallup poll showed that 80 percent of American drivers would not hesitate to drive after drinking. The Harris poll shows this has dropped to 65 percent in 1985. In the last five years, the states enacted 478 new laws relating to alcohol and highway safety, sustaining the campaign to remove the drunk and impaired driver from the highway. There are 43 drunk driving resources available in brochures, booklets, reports, guidelines, and catalogs for use by individuals,

Closing the meeting after two hours, board members signed the register of claims, appropriating funds from the town to cover costs incurred by town officials and departments. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 12. at 6:30 p.m. in the Milford Town Hall.

ed off” if the leaders had voiced strenuous objections. Lugar added, “The air strike sends the strong message to Libya that the United States will not tolerate the indiscriminate violence of terrorism against us.” The Speakes briefing was telecast live on network news shows at 7:20 p.mEST, just 20 minutes after the bombing began. There are thought to. be \ more than 800 Americans in Libya, despite Reagarrs order last year that they should leave the country. Within five minutes after the Speakes briefing ended, several dump trucks were driven onto the grounds of the U.S. Capitol, blocking all auto and truck entrances in a move to enhance protection against possible terrorist attack.
