Sunday. Ted and other residents of the center who share a birthday during March were served cake this afternoon. —o— AS OF Saturday the Brooks family will be out of the newspaper business. Since August of 1979 Jim, Margi, Kelly and Clay have delivered The Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette to many a home and business in the town of Milford. Kelly is now a junior at Indiana Purdue University-Fort Wayne and Clay is a Wawasee High School senior with college intentions in the fall so the time has come to call an end to the job they've had for the last 10‘ 4 years. 0

THE PAUL Matthews and Herb Stumps were recent visitors of the Joe O. Esteps in Bonita Springs, Fla. Opal Berkeypile Fanta and Roy were at the Esteps for four days. They all went to Punta Gorda to see Roy and Maggie Warring. They also visited Ruth Cecil McGill at the nursing home and report that Ruth's husband passed away in January. Joe and Anna are working at the Lions thrift store on Thursday nights for three hours. Joe writes that it’s all volunteer. On Saturday mornings they help with the pancake breakfast and flea market and are keeping busy. They report they will return to Milford sometime in May. “Must spoil our great-grandson, children and grandchildren.” WORD IS out that the new Milford Convience Center will be officially opened on May 1. It will be open seven days a week, 24 hours a day. The center will carry a wide variety of fast foods and drinks, plus Phillips 66 quality gasoline and automotive products. —o— WORD HAS been received that the Milford reunion in Florida was a success this year with 30 in attendance. It was decided to hold a reunion every year on the second Sunday of March. ' —O'PERSONS WHO know former resident Henry Sierk may have been surprised to see his photo in the February 25 issue of the Fort Wayne paper

According to an article written by Jim Chapman, Henry has been renting and selling X-rated videos in Kendallville and that has the people of that Noble County community upset. Henry feels he is doing nothing wrong and the grand jury agrees with him, saying he isn’t breaking any laws. When people objected to certain tapes, ail video store owners but Henry pulled the tapes from their shelves. Henry refuses to do so. He also owns a video store in Nappanee. A native of Panama, Henry came to the USA with his family in 1957 and attended school in Milford, graduating in 1967. —o— MILFORD UTILITIES Commissioner Dallas Winchester II was in Fort Wayne last weekend to cheer on the Northfield Norseman basketball team. Winchester, a graduate of Northfield's neighbor to the south (Wabash High School), saw the Norse drop a 54-52 decision to the Concord Minutemen in the semistate championship game. One of Northfield’s twin towers, forward Jon Ross, missed an off-balance shot at the buzzer that could have sent the game into overtime. Too bad Northfield coach Steve McClure couldn't draft from the stands for the final shot. Afterall, Winchester hit a desperation shot at the buzzer just.two weeks earlier to lead his Milford Town squad to a win over The Mail-Journal. While Winchester was disappointed with the Northfield loss,

he stated that if the two teams played again there would be a different outcome. Funny, that’s the same thing the M-J players are saying about a second game with the Milford town employees. However, the Norse won’t have a chance to see if their fate would change a second time around while the M-J may get a second shot in the coming weeks. “Last Second” Winchester said he won’t be wearing Concord green during the state championship, rather, he’ll be cheering for Damon Bailey and Bedford North-Lawrence. —O'SPEAKING OF Concord, five-year-old Joshua Long will definitely be wearing “his green” this Saturday as he cheers on the Minutemen in the Hoosier Dome, as will his mom, Joni, and other family members and friends of the Milford area. While in Fort Wayne during semistate action last Saturday, Josh had a memorable experience of riding with his dad, Jeff, Concord JV basketball coach, and the team as their bus was escorted by police to the Allen County Memorial Coliseum. When asked about the bus trip, Josh related the most exciting part was "going through all the red lights!” THIS WEEKEND will be busy for Clark and Judy (Little) Jones and their two children, Andy and Katie, as they plan to move into their recently purchased home on Charles Bird Lane, r 2, Milford. The Jones’ family has been staying with Judy's father, Bill,

since moving here from Anderson last June. REMEMBER THE old song “Don’t Fence Me In?” Perhaps area farmer Steve Haab and his sidekick, Doug Weisser, know the feeling after their experience last Saturday afternoon. While looking around for a piece of farm equipment at Polk’s in Leesburg, the two men

The girls were given the chance to make their own personal sized pizzas at the pizzeria. Here, Karrie Detwiler looks a little unsure about adding the tomato sauce to the start of her pizza. Looking on from left is Erica Cooper, Lisa Schafer, and at far right, Jennifer Weaver. Among other activities the girls participated in last week included an overnight event at the Syracuse Scout Cabin, and indulging in special treats from a local bakery. They also made posters recognizing Girl Scout Week and watched a cake baking demonstration by Becky Richardson. (Photo by Stacey Lesch)

Slide show sparks concern at meeting

By STACEY LESCH Staff Writer

Although no problems quite so severe as those in Shipshewana Lake have yet been discovered in any of Kosciusko County’s water, members of the Kosciusko County Lakes Preservation and Development Council were appalled at what they heard and saw in a program given by Bill Grant, administrator with the LaGrange County Health Department. A slide presentation, as well as bottled samples of Shipshewana Lake and top soils, gave the members first hand knowledge of what can and will happen to the lakes if not cared for properly. “A lake is like an indicator species,” Grant told the council and others in attendance. "When it develops problems, it means something is wrong somewhere else.” Referring to Shipshewana Lake, Grant said the lake has died meaning, among other things, the water does not have any of the microscopic organisms it needs to survive. Inspecting the

were unknowingly “fenced in” on the grounds as the gate was locked up for the weekend. Although all the details of the incident haven’t been revealed, the two men received assistance from Leesburg resident Terry Hoover and were on their way back to Milford — after an exciting hour or so! —o— ACCORDING TO Bob Rassi,

bottled sample taken from the lake, members showed their disgust at the dark green coloring and stench of the water. He added, “Some of the local problems are just as big as the ones that grab all the ( national) headlines." Members of the Lakes Council sat in a stunned silence as they observed the slides taken around various lakes in LaGrange County. They viewed weedbeds so large and thick that from aerial photographs they looked like land. Stagnant water and rotting debris on top of the water were other signs that severe problems were developing. Grant said that the Bible warned of "poison water” 3,000 years ago. "Earth does not belong to man, man belongs to earth.” he quoted from another source, "our future rests on that. There's no more extensions now; it’s time to pay the bills.” Speaking highly of the statewide Lakes Enhancement program. Grant claimed the federal funds are still not enough to solely save and protect the lakes.

commander of Ancil Geiger Post 221, American Legion, Milford, plans are underway for this year’s Memorial Day Parade at 10 a.m. Monday, May 28. Those wishing to know more about parade entries, etc., may contact Bob at 658-4863. He notes there’s been “quite a bit of enthusiasm” expressed already, and more details of the day’s events will be forthcoming in a few weeks.

"The state won’t do it. The government won’t do it. The county won’t do it. The people have to do it themselves. You have to expand this group (Lakes Council) then promote common interests,” he said. “We have a long way to go, but hopefully we can do it together.” At the conclusion of the program, members of the council showed a strong interest in promoting the public awareness by asking Grant to put his presentation on video to be shown to different groups. "People have to be aware of this,” said one member. Interested persons are encouraged to attend the Lakes Council meetings the third Thursday of each month. The council meets at 7 p.m. in the Barbee Conservation Club House. Prevent cooling system problems When was the last time you checked your cooling system? If you can’t remember, you're overdue. Prevention' is the best plan to avoid cooling system problems, says Car Care Council.
