Another resident agreed that a four-way stop would help, but added that the nursing home being there has not added to the problem. Jim Hughes, president, said the board had never promised anyone a four-way stop there, although it had been discussed in times past. Ziller was instructed to run a new traffic study at the corner and report findings at the June board meeting. Hughes also presented a letter o from the Syracuse Chamber of Commerce asking the town board to request a stop light from the state for the corner of Chicago Avenue and SR 13. Koble pointed out that this corner is much used by teen drivers going to and from Wawasee High School. After discussion, in which members commented that pretty soon every corner in town* will have a stop light or stop signs at the present rate, Koble moved to ask the state to conduct a traffic study at this intersection. Thtere being no second, the motion died. Hughes said the chamber of commerce or others certainly have

the right to ask the state for a traffic study. Other Business Hughes made a statement commending the efforts of Linda Neff, Deb Kirkdorfer and the committee which has been working to help resolve bass tournament traffic problems. He said this committee is largely responsible for the launch ramp improvements now in progress at Henry Ward Park. Bob Kocher, technical manager for Triax Cablevision, reported that the company has moved its billing operation from North Webster to Kendallville. He said the toll-free number is 1-800-558-7429 and the mailing address is P.O. Box 968, Kendallville, Ind. 46755. Dave Myers informed the board he wants to plan a development and sell lots on North Shore Drive and asked for a timetable when the area could access the sewage system. Reed said the construction timetable is 18 months and Hughes added that new hook-ons would likely begin after that time frame. Bill Hess said that the town may begin talking of hook-ons in about a year. He added, “When the time is right we will want to

Fire chief Byrd was given approval to purchase a recorder for telephone and radio messages from. Elkhart County for SSOO.

Numbering system map on display The map detailing the new numbering system for the town of North Webster will be on display for residents of North Webster to inspect.

DENTURES When the natural teeth are lost through an accident or disease, it is necessary to provide a person with false teeth. In order for dentures to be effective, the underlying gum and bone structure must be in good condition. To measure this, a dentist will take Xrays, and make a visual inspection of the gums and mouth. If the patient will be able to wear false teeth, the dentist will make physical impressions or molds of the gums, so appropriate dentures can be designed. On average, it may take a couple weeks to receive a complete evaluation from a dentist, to have dentures made, and then adjusted in follow-up visits. Fitting of dentures is a process which should not be rushed. Since normal changes in the gums and bones affect the fit of dentures over time, the dentist should examine them at least once a year. If dentures become loose or uncomfortable, or minor adjustment may be required. Relining of dentures may be necessary every two to four years. Presented As A Community Service By: George C.

New middle school plans made public; could cost $16,970,000
(Continued from page 1) based on an interest rate of eight percent and a 20 year lease payment of between $1,581,600$1,720,400 per year. These could change based on the construction bids received and various other factors. Mention was given to the recent bid letting on the Syracuse School remodeling and renovation project which totaled 10 percent under the estimated costs. “If the bids are as good as they were at Syracuse, there will be the $1.05 tax increase. Very few corporations talk this kind of an increase,” commented Gutman, who noted the current property tax levy for the debt service fund is $.7300. Based on an estimated $120,000,000 assessed valuation, a property tax levy of $1.8648-$1.9803 will be needed to raise the necessary funds. The Plan Explanations were given of the
Dixie Pork beach ready for use
By MARK WEINSTEIN Sports Editor
North Webster’s Dixie Park beach is open for business. The report of the beach’s opening was made by park board president Howard Ziegler at last Wednesday’s North Webster Town Board meeting. Ziegler noted that vinyl was placed on the bottom of the swimming area with 34 truckloads of sand inserted into the water. “It will be significantly better than what we have had before,” insisted Ziegler. “It will not be like Fort Lauderdale, but it’s much better than before.” Other changes this year include shortening the beach size, from the anticipated 150 feet to 90 feet from the seawall. The reason for the size change is boat traffic around the beach facility. In other business, Rhina Jo Nuenschwander, a criminal justice student at Indiana State University, was sworn in as a reserve officer. She started working this past Monday and her position will be terminated August 31. This position will fulfill an internship requirement for her classes at Indiana State. Sid Markley, board member, reported that the house numbering project has been completed. Any resident desiring to inspect the plan can on May 18, from 2-5 p.m. and May 19, 4-6 p.m. at the town hall. It was also noted that street paving will begin in June, with last year’s work carried over to this year’s set of priorities. Gage Brothers will perform the work. Also, Mary Stackhouse and Kris Hittier, both from American Family Life Assurance Company, attended the meeting to offer a special cancer/intensive care plan to town employees. The plan will offer employees a 50 percent deduction in cost if the town approves the program. 2 The insurance plan will be paid through employees payroll deductions. Clerk-Treasurer Peg Lawrence noted that notices concerning the payroll deduction plan for the insurance plan will be enclosed with the next paycheck. Lawrence believes this is a good way to find out the interest of the program. Finally, the town board granted approval to United Telephone Systems to bury cable lines in town. The only stipulation in the approval was the telephone company receives permission from individual residents prior to burying the lines. Lawrence also read a letter from Phil Holiday of North Webster’s public library. In the letter, he expressed appreciation to the town board for their effort in assisting in the new library facility. The present library, according to. Holiday, president of the library board, has twice as much floor space as the former facility. In final business, Scott Ousley

WIND CAUSES DAMAGE — The area has been plagued with high winds the past several Sundays. The latest storm, on the 15th, caused extensive damage. The Syracuse Police Log indicated a large number of tree limbs down throughout the Syracuse and Lake.Wawasee areas and power outages caused by limbs falling on lines. An effort by Dan and Deb Beer, Syracuse, to repair damage from a week earlier on their farm just west of Syracuse, was futile as the strong westerly winds tore the roof off the barn. Mrs. Beer stated the west wall of the barn had been removed last week in an effort to brace the walls from wind damage to the old barn on May 8. The strong winds on Sunday extensively damaged the barn by removing over one-half the roof. Beer stated Monday morning he was not certain what would be done about the damage but indicated the barn may be torn down. The Beers live on the Syracuse-Milford Road. (Photo by Deb Patterson) “
