J By CARLA GAFF Staff Writer A hearing has been set for Thursday, Oct. 22, at 9:30 a.m. to discuss the raising of approximately $7,000 for work needed on the Burkholder Ditch which runs in both Kosciusko and Elkhart Counties The hearing will be held in the old courtroom at the courthouse at Warsaw for Kosciusko and Elkhart officials, as well as surveyors and landowners At present there is $1,911.81 balance in the account which is iuui uiueo than ;vhat the ditch brings in annually. Because of the large standing balance, assessment monies have not been brought in for the Burkholder Ditch since 1983. When assessment is brought in on the ditch it’s set at 50 cents per acre with a $3 minimum. With $247.26 being brought in each year from Kosciusko County and another $189.59 from Elkhart County. However, at this time, it has been estimated that about $6 per acre will be needed per acre in order to cover the clean up work. Kosciusko County Surveyor Chuck Brower he feels they should, “Take the money out that we have in the fund already, raise the difference we need to do the job, and then drop the assessment back down.’’ Approximately 800 acres would be involved in the reassessment and 660 feet of 15-inch tile would

be replaced bydß-inch tile. The work asked for by Devoe Huff of r 2 Nappanee. Huff is a land owner in the area, and stated that the work is needing to be done because of the overflow problem being experienced. It was noted by the board that the landowners were thought to have replaced the 14-inch tile with 18-inch tile a number of years ago. However, recently Huff dug up the tile at the first vent in order to investigate and found that the tile running south of the tee is really only a 15-inch tile. It was explained, that at this time tbe-titeis a “bottle neck." This is because an 18-inch tile is running into a 15-inch tile, and back into an 18-inch tile which liten gu<& iui.6 d 21-inch tile. It was also recorded that at one time ditch officials were considering putting in a 12-inch tile to run into a catch basin on 1350 N. However, now, Huff stated, a 12-inch tile won’t carry the water away fast enough as it's not big enough. Achor Ditch Also during the meeting, the board heard complaints from area landowners concerning the flooding of the Achor Ditch. A decision could not be made on the matter, as the board did not have a quorum, due to Maurice McDaniel not being able to vote as he is also an adjacent landowner. The ditch is southwest of Warsaw and is currently assessed at $1.26 per acre with a minimum of $6. If the board agrees to repair the 500 foot of tile, the reassessment will be approximately $2.50 per acre with a $lO minimum.
This will bring in approximately $1,112.45 per year which is an annual increase of $547.90 It was noted that presently the Achor Ditch account has a balance of $486.09 and no outstanding debts. However, the project has a cost estimate of $4,600. A handful of remonstrators explained to the board that they did not have a flooding problem until the new dam was put in during the 19605. And that, at present the pump is not run all the time by the landowner (Dan Anglin) who “In other words, he pumps if it’s convenient for him — and when it isn’t, he doesn’t pump. So, then it floods on the rest of us,” stated area landowner Jean Northenor. Landowner Burdell Blackburn commented, “It’s never going to benefit us because of where the dam is located now. I see no reason why the rest of us should pay higher ditch assessment just so it can benefit one person.” The board agreed to go out to the location of the dam and take a look at it prior to the next hearing on the matter which is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 22, at 9 a.m. 72nd Lambright reunion On the first Saturday of each October, the Peter Lambright family holds its annual reunion. The family has been doing this for the past 72 years. This year, it will once again be held in the Wolfe Community Building, Shipshewana, on Saturday, Oct. 3. The special day will begin with a carry-in dinner at 12 noon. Family members are also requested to bring their own plates and silverware. After dinner, there will be a time of fellowship, looking at memorabilia and old photos, exchanging of grab bag gifts (for those who want to do so) and having a brief business meeting. Since the first reunion in August 1915, the family has grown tremendously. A genealogical book has been compiled and is available for a low price to those who might like a copy for tracing their family line back to Johann Peter Lembrich. Work is continuously being done on the book by Mrs. Rena Markley to update its records. Family members are asked to bring any new information that might help in this task, such as marriages, births, deaths, etc. All members of the family are cordially invited .to come and take part in this annual celebration. It is hoped to be the largest Lambright reunion ever!

Your Opinion: Typical Os Most Americans? Should children and teens be permitted to eat “snack foods” between meals? If you answered no, your ideas about eating and nutrition may not be on par with those of a panel of expert nutritionists surveyed in a recent study of American teenage nutrition. In the survey nutrition experts, whose views on nutrition are highly significant even among their own peers, were given a list of 28 statements about nutrition and eating behavior. According to nutritionists, who many believe may be more knowledgeable about nutrition than medical doctors, eating snack foods is all right if the overall diet is balanced. Nutrition experts believe that chocolate candy can be part of a well-balanced diet and a source of nutrients. The sugar found in chocolate, according to nutritionists, has the same nutritional value as that of naturally-occurring sugars.

trapping ethics, trapping vendors’ displays, raffles, and much more. There is an average $4 million fur trade business each year in the United States. The success of the business is due to people’s attitudes toward trapping in relation to conservation and fur bearing animal management. Nature will not tolerate over population. All animals fall into one of two categories, “predator or prey.” Harvesting (trapping) the surplus is a proven method of conserving an animal species and improving genetics as any producer of domestic animal or vegetable products must do by selective reproduction. Seasons or limits are established by pro-

Lessee Brothers of Nappanee moved the building by cutting it in two sections. A permanent foundation is to go in this week, said Buchholz, Town Clerk. The building will be used for storage of equipment used by the city department. More than 250 town and township residents registered a strong protest against use of parking meters in Syracuse in a petition presented by Laucks Xanders to the Town Board Tuesday night requesting their removal. Xanders stated that most of the signers would consider some plan of revising the use of the meters which would lesson penalties and restrictions now imposed.

According to officials ot tne w. ivi. Wilt Industries Uiere has been some agitation by outside influences to form a labor organization at their local plant. Organizers and agitators, the plaQt officials say, have cir-
ven management methods to assure the seed or “regenerating process” is not destroyed but conserved. Over harvest could destroy a species and over population will destroy a species by disease or starvation. The conservation or protection of some income producing crops makes it mandatory to reduce the numbers of certain animals. Drainage ditches must be maintained for crop production. A major cost of ditch maintenance is from winter digging activity from muskrat which is the most prolific fur bearing animal. A drainage ditch will provide the same numbers of harvestable muskrat every year if environment is the same.
