Topeka Town News — From The Clerk’s Desk
by DeWayne Bontrager, Town Clerk
We are suddenly at the end of the first quarter
of 2011 with spring on its way. The activities during
this period are pretty slim. The employees are to be
commended for doing a good job plowing snow and
keeping the streets safe and clean during these winter
months. The 700 South project is moving very slowly. As
far as other projects, we shot at nothing and hit it. We are
pleased to see industrial activities picking up. Keep in
mind that employees who provide quality and efficient
labor share the rewards with jobs, paychecks, etc.
Recently Katie Braid (clerk’s office) completed a 1
week clerk’s school at Ball State University sponsored by
ILMCT and now has sufficient credit hours to qualify
for her CMC.
Congratulations to Katie for this achievement, a

reward for her dedication and efforts. Katie also recently
completed re-doing the Town of Topeka website. The
Clerk’s office can now post announcements on the
community bulletin board for coming events. The
website is Topekain.net. See Katie, she can help with
your announcements.
At the March 14 Town Council meeting Ron
Eash was appointed Town Manager, the spot recently
vacated by Larry Schrock. Ron has been the Street
Superintendant for a number of years and will continue
at street work until a street employee is hired. The town
will be accepting applications for street employee until
April 11, 2011. Applications can be picked up at the
Clerk’s office, 124 East Lake St.
My closing story: The cat and fox were talking
politics one day. The fox remarked “I have a number
of tricks if I should get invaded.” The cat said “ I have
but one trick but it works.” “You poor thing ... to only
have one trick, perhaps I should share one of my many
tricks with you”, the fox replied. Before the fox had
finished speaking along came a pack of hound dogs.
The cat took one leap into the tree out of reach. The
fox, who had not been able to get out of sight, overtaken
by his many tricks, was torn into many pieces by the
hound dogs who surrounded him.
“Successful cunning often makes a make believe show
to wisdom.”
