An inoperative lift station at Goshen Meadows near Hope is causing raw sewage to run into Horse Creek, engineers told the Hope Town Board Monday. According to Ed Tinkle of Commonwealth Engineering at Greenwood, both pumps at the lift station are broken and the sewage is "popping covers and flowing into the creek." A repair crew was to be at the station Tuesday to pull the pumps and try to get the station back on line, he said. The problem began several months ago when the station's main pump went down and a backup pump kicked on, Tinkle added. The situation worsened when the backup pump broke Friday. The station is supposed to send sewage to a gravity holding system near Hauser High School.

From there it is pumped to the town's sewage treatment plant, Tinkle said. "We don't know what's' wrong with the pumps," Tinkle said. "We haven't pulled them out and there's no way to pull the pumps without pulling the entire station." He said workmen will use a sludge pump to clear the station and reroute sewage into a lagoon away from the stream. "Once the pumps are out of there we'll get them repaired as quickly as possible and then get started on a new station." Commonwealth is preparing a recommendation on a station for the next town board meeting. Tinkle said it could take from 90 to 180 days to build the station at a cost of up to $32,000.

The problem so far has not affected homes in Goshen Meadows, he added, as the station is on terrain which is then the housing complex. Skateland Names First King, Queen Brenda Thomas and Mark Moore were crowned first annual queen and king, respectively, of Columbus Skateland Saturday night for collecting the most money for the American Heart Association Southeast Indiana division.

A total of $748.29 was raised by all participants.

Representative and a candidate for the U.S. Senate, his honor Friday night at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Peter Leonard, addresses the annual Bartholomew County Lincoln Day Dinner 3680 Woodside. New Traffic Flow Plans Presented Detailed traffic flow and parking changes planned for the sections of Eighth and 10th11th west of Central Avenue were presented to the Columbus Board of Works this morning, with the board expected to take action on the proposals in the next week or so.

Delmar Kloeker, consulting traffic engineer for the city, alSO talked about reversing the one-way flows of traffic on Ninth and 10th streets, asking the board to endorse that change for this spring, while the other changes would not take place until sometime this summer. The board did give its approval to a $6,266.05 bid from Mahan Ford for a new truck for the parking meter and traffic department, the only bid received. Also approved was conversion of the heating system at the police maintenance garage from bottle gas to natural gas, a change expected to save about a third of the annual heating costs at the building. Kloeker asked the board to recommend an ordinance to the city council soon which would reverse the traffic flows on Ninth and 10th on the west side of the city. Ninth currently is one-way east and 10th is one-way west.

The reversal is being sought so one-way east Eighth and one-way west 10th11th will not be adjacent to one-way streets going the same direction, which would make it more difficult for traffic to get around in the area. Kloeker asked that the Ninth and (10th street changes be made soon so people in the area can get used to them before the two main streets, now handling two-way traffic, are made one-way this summer. Residents along parts of Eighth and 10th-11th will find it live with the changes if a new parking recommendation is followed by the city council. Earlier plans had called for all parking to be banned on both sides of the two streets once the traffic flows are made one-way. Kloeker said this morning he has studied traffic projections further and has found there is no need to ban all parking in the area at this time, although he urged the board to be open to the possible need to limit parking further as traffic on the streets increases.

As a result, he recommended parking be allowed on one side of Eighth generally from Franklin to Central, although it would be banned on both sides in the areas around Chestnut and California to provide turn lanes, and would be banned from Central Place to Central Avenue for the same reason. On 10th-11th, he recommended parking be allowed on one side generally from Union to Franklin, although it would be banned on both sides in the Woman Thaws Freezer; Finds $200 Cold Cash Attention homemakers: It pays to defrost your refrigerator. A Columbus woman, who requested her name and address not be published, said recently she found $200 she didn't know she had while defrosting the freezer compartment of her refrigerator this morning. "It was way in the back of the freezer, stuck to one of those freezer containers," she said. "'The container had ice on it and I was running water over it to get the ice off when this little Irwin Union Bank envelope fell off.

Kloeker formally recommended creation of a "contraflow" lane on 10th-11th from Washington to Hutchins, to give emergency vehicles direct access from Fire House No.

1 to the Golden Foundry area. The lane would be available for emergency use He asked the board to consider erection of flashers at the various 10th-11th Street intersections to warn traffic when emergency vehicles were using the lane. He said the creation of a contra-flow lane east of Michigan would require either widening of the street or making one lane of the street a reversible lane. He had no cost estimates on the flashers or on widening of the street. The one-way changes on Eighth and 10th-11th streets are being planned as part.

Park Board Reviews Energy-Saving Plan Bob Kotnik of Sieco, Inc. of Columbus gave a presentation on Lincoln Energy Project at the monthly meeting of the Columbus Parks and Recreation Board Thursday night at Donner Center. Kotnik showed the board sketches of the proposed water tower and explained how the rest of the project would be constructed. The project will include the re-using of lost heat and recirculation of water, effecting a $30,000 annual savings in utility costs. In other business, the board reviewed several fee increase proposals made by the staff.

The fee increases were a result of the board's policy to make programs and facilities more self sufficient. The board said this type of policy has been in effect since 1973 when the property tax freeze was implemented by Indiana. Fee increases approved were: An increase from 50 to 75 cents per court per hour for the Columbus Tennis Association Men's League. A 25-cent fee per court per hour for the Columbus Tennis Association Women's League. An increase in adult softball fees.

The men's league will be assessed a $210 entry fee and the women's will pay a $200 fee. The junior high baseball program fees were increased to $5 for city and $7 for non city residents. New fees for the Greenbelt Golf Course were increased.
