Dam Planning Group Slow To Shape Up
Eight of nine surrounding subdivisions gathered for an organizational meeting on the proposed regional planning for the Union City dam area. Four municipalities had already signed resolutions backing a planning commission, with the county committing 2 million dollars and signaling stricter, county-driven regulations if towns opt out. Fire at the Whitesell home injured Loren Black and minor injuries to Robert Ryan and a Whitesell child. Authorities investigated possible gasoline involvement. West Mead and South Meadville units fought the blaze into midnight. The Whitesell family includes Bonnie Shaukis, Deborah Whitesell, Robin Whitesell, Frederick Betts, and David Betts, plus two grandsons.
