EXTENDED COVERAGE J I By wfey DON ARNOLD ■ fl What happens if you're in an auto accident in which you're not at fault, but the other driver disagrees? Perhaps he admits his guilt but delays filing an insurance claim. How can you collect? If you have collision coverage on your auto policy, you can be paid for your loss, less your deductible, by your own company. (Whether you're at fault or not, you are supposed to notify your insurer.) Then your insurance company can seek payment from the other party or insurer. You may well get your deductible, too. This is called "subrogation.'' The process can take up to six months or more. If there is a dispute about who is liable, it can be resolved through arbitration, byway of an agreement between hundreds of insurance companies around the country. If your insurance company loses, you can still sue for your deductible through other legal channels. If the other driver isn't insured, it's difficult — but not impossible — to collect.

site of Crosson Park. The mill used waterpower to rotate the grinding wheels that were made of stone. The ground corn and wheat to produce flour and cornmeal. The mill was very important to the community to provide this staple. The closest mills were in Benton or there were no roads, it was a day’s journey to either town. This also meant they must travel by oxen or horseback. To operate the mill, first the farmers brought their wheat to be ground into flour. The mill was a log structure that straddled the outlet to Syracuse Lake. The tub mill mechanism was a small crude turbine. The water poured into the tub mill from a wooden flume. The force of the =water moved the rotor. The rotor moved a wooden shaft and rotated the millstones, which were located on a platform. The grain poured into the hopper, dropped between the millstones and was ground into flour. The flour dropped to a bin and then through a sifter. When not grinding wheat, the miller used the lift lever to raise the bearing support (a block of timber) to release the rotor, shaft, and millstones from the waterpower. This would save them from wear when there was no grain between them. A dam was also constructed by Crosson and Ward at the site of the mill. As a result, it raised Lake Wawasee by three feet increasing the size of the biggest natural lake in Indiana. The dam was destroyed in 1837, then rebuilt. In 1959, Eli Lilly financed construction for a new dam. This was needed to maintain the beachfront.
