Koontz Lake Association Seeks County’s Help to Ban Bridge Jumping

  
 
The Koontz Lake Association needs the assistance of the Starke County Commissioners in order to keep kids from jumping off a bridge there. They’ve asked INDOT to post a sign prohibiting jumping from the bridge. INDOT officials say they’d be happy to put one up, but first the county has to pass an ordinance formally outlawing the practice. That matter came before the commissioners this week, and Starke County Attorney Marty Lucas has agreed to draft an ordinance for their consideration.
