. Filming of
Sewers
Continues
On Monday, August 25, a crew
from Ray Harvey/ Sewer Cam of
Noblesville was continuing on a
Town of Greentown project of
videotaping about 5,000 ft. of
Greentown's sewers. The
procedure involves a motorized
video camera on wheels being
lowered into manholes. The
forward motion of the camera is
controlled from inside a van
while a monitor in the van allows
instantaneous viewing of what
the camera sees. The equipment
also records how many feet the
camera is from the start point.
Tapes are being made for future
reference.
Bob Armstrong, Town Council
President, states that the
purpose of the filming is to
locate infiltration and inflow, a
problem t h e Greentown
sanitation Department continues
to deal with in striving for
efficient operation of the plant

removal. Mr. Gooch was only
requesting sewage service.

Armstrong, said he had talked to
the town engineer and that the

not feel the town should get into
" buying sewage" until the
current problem is corrected.

second by James Harris, the
Council voted to disapprove
Gooch's request.
Adrain Gibson of Marion
delights groups and school
children with the music he pulls
out of a saw. Using a cello bow
and accompanied on the
keyboard by his wife Gathel, he
played several hymns and old-time
songs for a recent
gathering of Seniors on the
Move at the Methodist Church
Fellowship Hall.
Gibson taught himself to play
the saw about twenty years ago
after hearing a " sawyer" play.
He uses a professional musical
saw, manufactured in Ft.
AtMnson, Wis., but says some
ordinary saws from the
hardware store w i l l make good
music. He likes to point out the
lesson for living from this fact:
An ordinary object ( or person)
can render a beautiful service
when touched by a Master.
He doesn't know anyone else
who plays the saw but has read
that there are an estimated 1,600
saw players in the United
States. The story goes that
playing music on saws
originated during logglng days
in the 1800' s.
Asked how often he has the
saw sharpened, Gibson quipped,
" I play mostly in flats becauseif
I played in sharps, I would need
to have the saw sharpened."
