STATE POLICEMAN SPEAKS TO KIWANIS — Tom Perzanowski, Syracuse, a member of the Indiana State Police, addressed the Wawasee Kiwanis Club at the Saturday morning, Feb. 3, meeting held at Gropp’s Restaurant. Perzanowski joined the state police while the Ligonier post was still operating and from that post was a trooper in Kosciusko and Noble counties. Three years ago, he was transferred to the laboratory division of the Indiana State Police where he became a district technician assigned to the Fort Wayne Regional Laboratory. As a district technician, he is assigned to the Bremen post, and his work includes processing crime scenes, gathering and logging all evidence, having necessary film developed and sent to proper locations, etc. In addition to state police work, he helps other law enforcement units throughout the state, when requested. Perzanowski informed the Kiwanians that all kinds of tests were possible to perform. For instance, a person’s blood type can be taken from a cigarette butt; or a fingerprint may be taken from a wadded up, wet piece of paper. Although operating most of the time in a four-county area out of the Bremen post, Perzanowski is "on call” 24 hours a day, anywhere in the state. Pictured are Greg Long, president-elect of Kiwanis, presenting a certificate of appreciation to Perzanowski.

From the Syracuse Police Log —

Vehicle hung up on railroad tracks

From the Syracuse Police Log is a . weekly feature which presents a sampling of the incidents the officers from the Syracuse Fire Department and Syracuse Police Department are called upon to deal with: TUESDAY, JAN. 30 The dispatcher received a call from a person requesting information about legal services. The caller was referred to another department. The name of a specific laundromat was requested by a caller. It was provided by the dispatcher. WEDNESDAY, JAN. 31 A leaky fire hydrant was reported on Boston Street. The dispatcher notified the street department employees of the problem. The location of the nearest landfill could not be given to a caller, as the dispatcher could not answer that question. THURSDAY, FEB. 1 Information on a case Syracuse Police are working on was requested by the Indiana State Police. A disabled vehicle was reported sitting alongside the Syra-Web Road. This information was relayed to the sheriff’s department.

this assessment as Lobsiger explained it was not only to analyze deficiencies and to define user needs, but also to present some viable alternatives to correct these deficiencies apd meg/these needs. \ In discussingdeficiehejgsof the current building, LobsigerUbted the town hall: does not provide for the handicapped, does not meet any energy standards, and does not provide proper storage

for the first class service they have given to their jobs. St. Clair is district conservationist and Brock is soil conservationist.

FRIDAY, FEB. 2 Which railroad crossing is closed? This question was asked of the dispatcher by a caller The dispatcher responded it was the crossing on SR 13. The dispatcher received a call from a person wanting to know the date for the next cheese distribution. That date will be Thursday, Feb. 8. SUNDAY, FEB. 4 Police went to check on a report of someone possibly messing around with a vehicle on South Main Street. The female caller noted that her dog was barking as if someone was outside. The fire chief was called to check out a smell, possibly propane gas, on the SyracuseMilford Road. MONDAY, FEB. 5 Cleaning persons for a business contacted the dispatcher regarding setting the alarm there. The officer on duty advised the people to contact the store’s manager. After being asked by several persons, the officer on duty requested to know if school was delayed, as a neighboring school was being delayed due to fog. The dispatcher reported he was not aware of a delay.

space for important records and books. Some of the user needs not currently met by the town hall include: an evidence room for the police department, public restrooms, and substantial waiting space in the clerktreasurer’s office, police department, and utilities’ department. Lobsiger stressed that all of these needs can be justified based on building codes and looking at what other town halls offer in similarly sized towns. Ideally, the best way to answer to these deficiencies according to Lobsiger is to destroy the present building and construct a new ground level structure in its place. While he noted the size of this ideal replacement would be 4,000 square feet, he added the size really depends on how much the town can afford. Because the study was not yet complete, Lobsiger noted he was not ready to release cost estimates at this time. Lobsiger presented several plans for a new town hall based on information collected from the various department heads and building codes. These plans varied from an entirely new structure to merely extending off of the current town hall. “Our recommendation is to do it clean right from the beginning,” Lobsiger said. By building new, Lobsiger said “you still have room to add on if you had to.” Scheduled to complete the study and to make additional schemes for a town hall by late next week, it is likely Lobsiger will be meeting with council members again this month. As soon as council members concur on one proposal for a town hall, Lobsiger said another meeting will be scheduled to present the plan to the public for additional input. Driver charged after accident Kosciusko County Police investigated the following accidents during the past week: Edward L. Starner, 30, r 1 box 604, Leesburg, was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol following a one-vehicle accident Saturday, Feb. 3, at 2:49 am., on Fox Farm Road, east of CR 150 W. Police state Starner was traveling north in a 1988 Mazda truck when it went off the north side of the road, traveled a short distance and rolled over. Starner was not injured. Damage to the truck was estimated up to $2,500. MAD to post meeting place Due to the Lions’ pancake and sausage breakfast being held Saturday morning, Feb. 10, at the Milford Community Building, the monthly meeting of the Milford Area Development Council win be moved.
