'White outs' cause accidents

Officers with the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department were kept busy Saturday morning, Feb. 24, when blizzard conditions brought “white outs” that caused numerous accidents throughout the county. Many of the accidents went unreported to authorities as drivers exchanged information for their insurance companies and continued their travels. Among the accidents were two sheriff’s vehicles which were hit during the blinding snow storm. There was little damage. County Officer Chad Hill had his squad car hit three times and Officer Thomas Brindle’s vehicle was hit twice. The worst accident was at Pierceton Road, west of Catholic Street Extension at 10:37 a.m., Saturday. Barbara S. Miller, 44, 102 Pope Ave., Winona Lake, suffered an abrasion to her eye after being hit by her vehicle and pinned under another. Miller had been driving a 1987 Buick when it collided with a 1985 Plymouth driven by Matthew L. Maulsby, 24, P.O. 1602, First Street, Warsaw. Following that accident Miller got out of her vehicle and was standing beside it when it was hit by a 1982 Volkswagen truck driven by David L. Kline, 43, 127 E. Shore Drive, Syracuse. When Miller’s vehicle was hit she was struck by her vehicle and thrown under Maulsby’s vehicle and pinned until rescue crews arrived.

By STACEY LESCH> Staff Writer

“In the last six months the Palace of Sports has been going down hill,” said Richard Long. Palace board president, at Monday night’s North Webster Chamber of Commerce meeting. In January of this year Palace board members publicly revealed that a $3,000 fee to rent space for the museum each month could not be met forcing them to look at the possibility of closing the museum.

The Milford volunteer firemen and their wives honored fire chief Harold Kaiser and Mrs. Kaiser on their tenth anniversary Thursday evening of last week. Harold and Marge were invited out to dinner by Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Dippon, Delbert having been best man at the former’s wedding. As they entered the Bungalow Gardens in Goshen they were greeted by the Milford volunteer firemen and their wives. (In case you wonder — some of, the men stayed in town in case of a fire.) 50 YEARS AGO. FEB. 29, 1940 A surprise birthday party was given for Miss Hilda Dippon last Thursday evening at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Dippon. Twenty-nine guests were waiting at the Dippon residence two miles west of Milford to surprise the young lady on her seventeenth birthday. School notes: Eighth graders neither absent nor tardy during the first semester are: Junna Dunnuck, Kathryn Graff, Bernice Grove, Verna Hochstetler, Mary Hummel, Esther Mathews, Doris Myers, Glennis Orn, Frances Piper, Frances Stuckman and DonaldNyce. Two rather phenomenal birthdays were celebrated last Thursday evening February 22, at the Doty farm home one mile southeast of Milford. The occasion was a 6 o’clock dinner in honor of the birthdays of two Doty brothers, George Henry (42 years old) and Henry George (35 years old). Both brothers were born on February 22, the same day the nation celebrates the birthday of George Washington.

According to Long, J. Homer Shoop, who founded the Palace of Sports, has agreed to donate any amount of money to keep the Palace operable if the North Webster community is willing to support it. “Homer will no longer support it alone, " he said. “We need the community’s input on this. If we have individuals and corporations who want to support the Palace and keep it in North Webster, let (chamber members) know. But take some time and really think about it because when it’s gone, it won’t come back . ”

At the time the $3,000 monthly rental fee was introduced, Trustcorp Bank owned Camelot Square. When Palace board members made it clear that the monthly rent could not be met, Trustcorp listed the building for sale with Hoogenboom-Nofziger Coldwell Banker Realtors in Goshen. Society Bank, which bought out Trustcorp and now owns the building, will continue with the sale. Camelot Square is listed at $139,900. Unless the community shows a strong interest in keeping the Palace of Sports in North Webster and is willing to support it, the museum will not be opening its doors this spring. Long encouraged all residents of North Webster to make their feelings about the Palace known to any chamber of commerce member.

Illinois woman uses mace to save herself

An Illinois woman saved herself from being attacked by spraying mace in the would-be attacker’s face. Janet S. Grabiec, 45, Downers Grove, 111., was on CR 900E, traveling south, near CR 1350 N, Friday evening between 9 and 9:30 when she passed an abandoned vehicle which was parked in the southbound lane with its hazard lights flashing. Less than a half mile down the road, a man jumped out in front of her van, forcing her to stop. Upon doing so, the man broke out the passenger side window and tried to get into the van. Grabiec then sprayed mace in the man’s eyes. She then tried unsuccessfully to restart her van. Because it was left in drive, the vehicle wouldn’t start. She then got out of the van
