The Indiana State Department of Health estimates that between 20% and 40% of the children 6 years old or younger in an area on Auburn's west side near Plant No. 1 are lead poisoned. Check these links:

Councilman objects to use of slag in Rieke Park

To the editor:

In my letter that appeared in this space Jan. 6, I asked Auburn Mayor Norman Yoder to disclose his strategy for completing Rieke Park. Mayor Yoder did not respond to that query, but now I have a pretty good idea what his plan for... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (mikewalter) http://auburnindiana.yuku.com/topic/541 Wed, 14 Apr 2004 16:37:27 GMT http://auburnindiana.yuku.com/topic/542/t/Snickerz.html At the April 6 City Council meeting, I read a seven-point statement against the proposed tax abatement for ALCOA. (I could easily have offered more than seven reasons to vote against the abatement, but my practice is to restrict these statements to a single typewritten page for the convenience of the Clerk-Treasurer, who keeps the minutes, and for the news reporters, who aren't likely to report everything in a formal statement anyway.)

While I was making my presentation, Mayor... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (mikewalter) http://auburnindiana.yuku.com/topic/542 Sat, 10 Apr 2004 18:10:28 GMT http://auburnindiana.yuku.com/topic/540/t/Negative-Claims.html One of the powers of a city council is to approve -- or disapprove -- individual city expenditures in the form of numbered "claims" or "vouchers" presented at each council meeting. In general, the council should disapprove only claims that are not for a lawful purpose, are drawn from the wrong account or are in some way in error; and it certainly is hard to disapprove a claim for a purchase that's already been made. On the other hand, many claims are for goods or services that... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (mikewalter) http://auburnindiana.yuku.com/topic/540 Fri, 26 Mar 2004 18:48:41 GMT http://auburnindiana.yuku.com/topic/543/t/Politics-and-the-Police.html

I commend Auburn Mayor Norman Yoder for owning up to
the fact in his state of the city speech (Evening
Star, Jan. 23) that he was not aware of several
problems in the police department until they came out
in testimony at the disciplinary hearing of Sgt.
Thomas Weicht (Evening Star, Jan. 22). Although it is
my observation that most of our mayors have... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (mikewalter) http://auburnindiana.yuku.com/topic/544 Fri, 13 Feb 2004 19:43:02 GMT http://auburnindiana.yuku.com/topic/545/t/Three-Questions-for-Mayor-Yoder.html The following appeared Jan. 6, 2004, as a letter from me to the editor of the Auburn Evening Star:

In the 2003 Auburn city election campaign I promised
to raise issues that Mayor Norman Yoder doesn't want
raised and to ask questions that he doesn't want
asked. I want to start my new term of office by
making good on that promise. Here are my first
questions to Mayor Yoder:

The old number, 925-1500, now really is the general number for city offices and will give callers an automated menu of phone options. As a service to the board's visitors, here's the new list of city numbers. (Note the three different prefixes!) :
