Several of the objectors stated that they purchased their homes in Edgebrook Heights because they wanted to be away from apartment complexes and commericial areas. However. Bert Harrison, a recognized expert in the ap­ praising field, noted that an apartment complex is the natural "buffer" between residential zoning and com­ mercial zoning It was the feeling of the petitioners that the property along Rt. 31 was ideal for cfommercial use. and that the apartment complex would be ideal between the com­ mercially zoned property and residential zoned property. Nevertheless, the Zoning board voted to keep the property zoned for single family homes. What now"7 Zoning board chairman. Fidler explained that since Buss and Pintozzi petitioned together for the zoning change, that they possibly could now come before the board in­ dividually. Another alternative would be for the petitioners to go to court on the grounds that they aren't being permitted to use their land the way they desire There is always the chance that the City Council will overrule the Zoning board's recommendation.

OUTDOOR TOPICS by Bob Bnmtor 'MERCURY OUTDOOR CONSULTANT WEATHER PREDICTIONS Evening red atufr /horning gray, help the sailor on his way; evening gray and morning red. bring down rain upon his head. Research by the outdoor recreation department at Mer­ cury outboards shows that many bits of such doggerel are based upon scientific fact. The one quoted above, for example, can be defended on the basis that moisture in the atmosphere causes variations in the color of the sky at sunrise and sunset. If the sun rises shining red through a clear atmosphere, it indicates there is no moisture in the east. Lack of atmospheric moisture in one area will draw moisture from elsewhere. A gray-colored sunset tells us that there is moisture, usually in the form of rain, coming from the west to occupy the low moisture area to the east. Chances are good you'll be rained on before the day is over. Another interesting method of forecasting the weather isn't quite as scientific. The tale goes that if you tear a spider's web in the evening and he rebuilds it, chances are good that it won't rain before morning. Because the spider knows that rain will destroy his web, he supposedly waits until the storm is over before repair­ ing the damage or building a new web. Indicators of fair weather in the near future are: a misty, foggy sunrise; smoke rising straight up; high, stationary clouds; heavy dew on the grass, and a red sunset. Stormy weather is predicted by a red sunrise, muggy atmosphere, dark clouds on the western horizon, no morning dew. and a dull sunset. YVES ST.
