In fact, their festivals honoring the sun occurred near the shortest day of the year, when it seemed the sun stood still for 12 days before it climbed upward, bringing with it spring which brought new life to the world. The sun in the North was thought of as a wheel, known as “hweol.” It is thought that it was from this word that the word ‘‘Yule'’ came into our vocabulary. *v 457*2561

RON SHARP GIVES PROGRAM AT KIWANIS — Ron Sharp was the guest speaker for the Wawasee Kiwanis meeting held Saturday morning, Dec. 15, at Gropp's Restaurant, Syracuse. Serving as a member of both the Area Planning Commission and the Kosciusko Zoning Board of Appeals, Sharp informed the club of some of the main issues he has heard in reference to land use in Kosciusko County. There have been as many as 47 cases per month. Conversion of boat lots on lake channels into residential housing lots requiring a variance on set-back footage has been a major topic. Sharp stressed that one of the most important reasons for a set-back is to allow fire protection for property, as well as to neighboring property. He also indicated that there has been a shifting of land use in the county from agriculture to industrial, on the average of about 1,000 acres per year. Sharp closed with two tips to members. Anyone planning to remodel or add onto their structure should notify the Area Planning Commission Office, and also make sure that all measurements used in the plans are accurate. Pictured from left are Harold Hazenfield, president-elect of Kiwanis. presenting a certificate of appreciation to Ron Sharp. Standing at the right is Greg Long, president of Kiwanis.
