WHILE WE are on the subject of old homes, many area residents have been keeping a close watch on progress being made at the Felkner homestead house south of town since David and Joan Sparks sold their home on Main Street and began a remodeling project at the homestead. While the Sparks still have work to do, the Democratic Party of Milford is sponsoring an open house there on Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. to raise funds for the senatorial campaign of Warsaw attorney Jay Rigdon. For a donation to Rigdon’s

campaign, people are invited to visit the home and meet the candidate. SPRING HAS sprung. The temperatures climbed into the high 70s yesterday (Tuesday) and the buds on the trees are starting to give everything a look of spring. The youngsters, out of school on spring break, were out in full force as they took advantage of the first real warm day of spring. Tulips, and other flowers, are ready to burst forth in bloom and people were busy last evening raking yards and washing cars. —O'looks LIKE Milford will have new lights at SR 15 and Emeline Street in the near future. The lights have been up for sometime now but have yet to be put into operation. —o— A FUND-RAISING day will be held on Saturday, May 7, by members of the EMS unit. Remember, we’ve been telling people for sometime now to keep that date open for a pancake and sausage breakfast. The breakfast will run from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. During the breakfast, the Chatter Box will hold a bake sale. Donations of baked goods would be greatly appreciated. Both the

breakfast and bake sale will be held in the front portion of the Milford Community Building. The breakfast will be followed by an auction scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. sharp. The EMS would appreciate donations of any new or used items to be used for sale at the auction. The services of an auctioneer (free of charge) are also needed. Those interested in donating their time or goods should contact Kent Sawyer at 658-9703. Monies collected will go toward the purchase of a new ambulance for the community. Clearinghouse operational The Indiana Missing Children Clearinghouse became fully operational at a kick-off press conference Monday, April 4, at 10' a.m. The Indiana Missing Children Clearinghouse was established by the Indiana General Assembly to serve as the state central repository for all information on missing children who are from Indiana, or are believed to be in Indiana. « Governor Robert D. Orr’s Missing Children Program, established in 1984, has served as the forerunner for the clearinghouse program. The Clearinghouse is supported by the ISP, the Indiana Sheriff’s Association and the Indiana Association of Chiefs of Police.

Commissioners hear proposal for numbering unincorporated areas

By NEVIN DULABAUM Staff Writer

Steve Maenhout, assistant planner for the Kosciusko County Area Plan Commission, presented the Kosciusko County Commissioners with a proposal for rural principle structure numbering system at the first of the commissioners two monthly meetings on Monday, April 4, at the old Kosciusko County Courthouse. The proposal’s goal is to, “provide each principle structure outside of incorporated municipal areas with a unique county identification number according to the principles of enhanced baseline numbering. Specific project outputs include a comprehensive master list of all numbered principle structures which includes property owner name, resident name, post office rural route and box number, new address number, property key number, township and other locational data.” According to Maenhout, the performance objectives of the proposal are to: “Complete a working comprehensive master list of principle structures in unincorporated areas of Kosciusko county; assemble the project team by May 2, and complete orientation and training by May 6; and assist the U.S. Post Office in system implementation, which should achieve full implementation by July, 1989.” Maenhout said that although the APC plan would cost $34,154.32, it would be less expensive than the chamber of commerces’ for several reasons. The APC plan would save money because the Area Plan Commission would be directly involved with the project, unlike the chamber plan which would need money to create a new project team. In addition, money would not have to be spent hiring and training a qualified director of the project, as Maenhout would serve in that position himself. The one drawback to the APC plan is that Maenhout would work only part-time on the project, as he would retain his duties with the APC. However, with three

part-time employees being hired to assist him with the job, and with an estimated savings of 31.7 percent compared to the chamber of commerce plan, Maenhout believes the APC proposal offers the best approach to meeting those goals. Maenhout told the commissioners, “What we would like to do is present you with this report and let you have two or three days to look over it, and we would like to make a formal presentation on it on Thursday (during the second commissioners’ meeting). Other Business Kosciusko County Clerk Jeannie Weirick told the commissioners that state law requires Kosciusko County to make a report on how many precincts do not have voting facilities which are accessable by handicapped people. Weirick said she sent a letter to all of the precincts, and of the those who responded to the letter, only six or seven or not accessable. She said, “Most of these will be alright by the fall, but they are not accessable now.” She requested that the commissioners sign letters which will be sent to the state to verify that the matter has been investigated. Weirick said that it is important that any non-accessable locations be changed. Weirick continued, saying, “The federal people are the ones who are really making a fuss. They stood up at this one meeting and said, ‘lf the handicapped people don’t sue you, the federal people will.’ ” Weirick added that handicapped people will be permitted to vote in their cars at the few locations that are not yet accessable. Also at the meeting, Kosciusko County Highway Superintendent Ken Traylor requested that the commissioners allow funds allocated for a Port-a-patch road resurfacing unit be transferred to purchase an Eager Beaver woodchipper. He said, “We would like to switch over to a wood chipper as Kosciusko County roads are not that bad.” Traylor said the chipper could be used in both the fall and spring, could handle it to

12-inch pieces of wood, which would save time and labor, as wood that currently needs to be hauled away could instead be chipped. The commissioners approved Traylors’ request. Traylor also presented the commissioners with three invitational bids pertaining to equipment needed for two new trucks that the highway department is receiving. Equipment included in the bids are truck beds, hydraulic systems, installing underbody hangers, fuel tanks, hoses and necessary parts. The low bid of $14,459.60 by Deeds Equipment, Plymouth, was approved unanimously by the commissioners. The commissioners also approved moving the mainframe computer in the Kosciusko County Justice Building from a dusty room adjacent to the elevator shaft to a virtually dust-free and temperature controlled room located in the building’s' basement. The project, said Judge James Jarrette, Will cost an estimated $1,500, but will hopefully protect the computer from dust and humidity, which in turn will hopefully prevent the computer from breaking down. Jarrette said the computer has kicked out seven or eight times over the past two weeks, affecting 40 employees every time it fails. Jarrette was also charged by the commissioners to research the feasibility of purchasing a $4,000 magnetic tape computer backup system. This would enable a backup tape of the computer’s files to be made economically and efficiently each night, and would insure that documents and records would not be accidently lost due to a computer shut-down.
