“IT’S A Grand Old Flag, it’s a high flying flag,” and every June 14th Americans take time out to honor our national banner. According to The World Book Encyclopedia in 1916 President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that established Flag Day as an annual national celebration and in 1949, President Harry S. Truman officially recognized June 13 as Flag. Day by signing the National Flag Day Bill. Flag Day was first officially observed in 1877 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the selection of the flag on June 13 of that year. The date, June 14, was chosen in memory of the day in 1777

Milford zoning request denied APC recommends exception
I ByGLEN LONG Staff Writer The Kosciusko County Area Plan Commission did not recommend approval of the petition of Garry Miller, Milford, to rezone 1.54 acres of land in Milford from light industrial to a heavy industrial district at its meeting on Wednesday, June 3, at the Justice Building in Warsaw. The commission did,thowever, vote unanimously to recommend to the county Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) that it grant Miller an exception to allow a temporary auto salvage yard in a light industrial district. This is the approach asked for in a letter from the Milford Town Board. If approved by the BZA, this will preserve the present light industrial zoning of the Miller property and will allow Miller to continue to operate as he has in the past, with damaged vehicles stored out of sight behind a solid board fence. The APC had received complaints storing salvagea vehicles even behind the fence he had built to remove them from view. Before voting, members studied another letter of remonstrance against rezoning to heavy industrial and listened as Don Ahrns, APC member from Milford, related that he had gone to see the Miller property and that he feels there is nothing wrong with the way the storage area is now being used. Miller also presented a photo of the fenced area and said that he is not

when the Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes as the official flag 'bT'the United States in Philadelphia, Pa. It is not an official holiday, but the president proclaims a public Flag Day observance every year. Pennsylvania is the only state that recognizes the celebration as a legal holiday, although all 50 states honor the flag with parades and other demonstrations. ',l The flag’s original design, which sported 12 alternate red and white stripes and 13 white stars on a blue field, has been updated numerous times as states joined the Union. The 48-star Flag served as the national flag the longest of any flag, from 1912 to 1959. The present version was
three important state functions: job creation, matching workers with jobs, and holning provide training that fits specific job situations. The business of building new jobs, Lt. Gov. Mutz’s main responsibility, is suited to his long career in private business, where he helped develop several companies. After graduation from college, Mutz worked for two years in the public relations section of Alcoa, Pittsburgh,‘Pa. Returning to Indiana, Mutz helped found and run two companies: Fast Food Management, which owned and operated more than 60 Burger Chef restaurants in Indiana and other states; and Circle which leased equipment to all types of businesses. As a member of the House of Representatives and State Senate for over 12 years, Mutz became recognized as an expert on state finance and mental health. He chaired the State Budget Committee and participated in drafting the Property Tax Control Program which has saved Hoosiers millions in tax dollars. Lt. Gov. Mutz and his wife. Carolyn, are both graduates of Broad Ripple High School, Indianapolis. He earned a bachelor of science degree in advertising
asking to expand his storage area, but to be allowed to continue to temporarily store vehicles as at present. Other Cases The APC voted five to two to revise the restrictive covenants which had been previously imposed on a property west of SR 13 and north of CR 400 N. The revisions were asked for by Steve Snyder, Syracuse attorney representing Don and Kay Sparks. The owners want to use the property for a retail outlet for new and used items. After discussion, which centered on outside storage and display and included fencing and traffic volumes, the board studied a site plan which Snyder and Kay Sparks had hastily drawn and voted on the revisions. The new restrictions include provisions for a parking area, a grassy area between SR 13 and an asphalt or concrete outside display area and fencing on the north and east sides of the property to block old driveway patterns. A 28 by 64 foot building will be built and the driveway entrance will be placed nearly 240 feet west of SR 13 on CR 400. The commission voted unanimously to refer to the county BZA the request of Charles Haffner, Syracuse, for an exception to allow mini-storage buildings in a residential district. His property is on the east side of SR 13 and north of St. Martin de Porres Church in Turkey Creek Township. The preliminary plat of Tom
made in 1960, when the 50th star was added for Hawaii. Oddly enough, no one knows who designed the first official US flag, or who made it. Most historians do not support the claim that it was Betsy Ross. While there is no record of why white and blue were chosen as the colors for the flag, a 1782 Congressional resolution states what these colqrs stand for on the Great Seal of the United States: the red stands for hardiness and courage, the white for purity and innocence, and the blue for vigilance, perserverance and justice. The Stars and Stripes stands for the land, the people, the government, and the ideas of the United States.

Groninger for an industrial subdivision on a 13.3 acre tract of ground in the industrial corridor northwest of Warsaw was approved unanimously. This plat had been continued from the May meeting to give Larry Long, Groninger’s consulting engiheer, time to comply with items requested by the APC. Long submitted a surety bond for roads to be built in the subdivision and a profile of plans to drain the area toward the west. He also added on the plat map the statement that there is a gun club located just south of the subdivision. This states for the information of any prospective businesses in the area that there will be noise from that facility periodically. The APC also approved a petition by Alan Kado to rezone a seven acre tract of ground located on the west side of CR 325E and north of CR 100 S in Wayne Township from an agricultural to a residential district. MarcusKosins was represented by attorney Steve Snyder as the APC voted unanimously to recommend the rezoning of 15.41 acres from an agricultural to a light industrial district. The property is located on the east side of SR 15 and north of CR 400 S in Wayne Township. Remonstrating against the rezoning .was Sue Zellers, who with her'husband, Michael, owns seven acre's qf land just north of the Kosins property. Ordinance Change Considered A task force made up of several area attorneys and representatives of Kosciusko Development Inc. submitted copies of a proposal to add a third industrial classification ..to the Kosciusko County zoning ordinance. The task force and representatives of the county plan to meet soon to discuss this proposal. The new classification is for the purpose of making it easier to determine if a specific type of industry is permitted in a given industrial district. The new industrial classification, 1-1 Limited Industrial, would be generally more restrictive than the current light industrial classification. Several attorneys stated it could be used as a buffer zone between heavier types of industry and residential districts. The county commissioners will have final authority in the adoption of the measure if the APC recommends its adoption.
