All were called; none came.
No hogs were in the arena during the contest. Most of the participants were coaxed into the contest by friends or relatives. Yet none were too timid to shriek vowel-stretching, crescendo-rising calls. "C'mon buddy." "Here, soo-HEY." "Better get in here or you'll end up in the freezer."

A restaurant in a location steeped In history will close on Saturday after five years of operation. The New Livery (or Just "Livery" as it was often called) at 639 Conner St. occupies space In a building that was erected in the 1800s and at one time housed carriages.
It is near the Shell Station on the south side of the Hamilton County Government Center. Owner Glenda Kahlo said she decided to close the restaurant and NOBLESVILLE bar after re-evaluating her business priorities. "I don't feel a restaurant is that location's maximum potential," said Kahlo. "It would do better for the community as well as myself being something else." Just what that is Kahlo has yet to figure out. One of the possibilities she's considering is remodeling the space and renting it out as offices.
The building has about 8,800 square feet. No specific date has been set as to when another business may reopen in the space. Kahlo said she had parking and space problems, which may be lessened if the space is used for offices. Kahlo bought the restaurant In 1996. It served sandwiches, steaks and prime rib, and was open for dinner during the week and lunch on Saturdays.
One portion of the restaurant had a stage where several bands came to play. The space also was rented for banquets, anniversaries and meetings. The restaurant did well during the winter, but business had been slowing down this summer, said waitress Wendy Hughes, one of eight employees now looking for work. She plans to help her husband in their home-based business but may go to work as a waitress again. Kahlo said freeing up the building is in line with where she sees downtown Noblesville heading.
"Artsy-craftsy, antiques and business offices for attorneys, that's where I think we're going," said Kahlo. "It's really a positive thing." Ruth Anne Nunamaker with the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce says the site won't be vacant long. M. the widening of 116th Street should be accelerated to have one good east-west arterial road." The special study committee of the Plan Commission voted 5-2 to give a favorable recommendation to the 681 -acre Brenwick Development Co. planned community in western Clay Township.
The committee action will be forwarded to the Carmel Clay Plan Commission for a special public hearing next month.

An Anderson woman, engaged in a yearlong face-off with the city over the more than 60 chow dogs she keeps In her home, has been waiting this week for the other shoe to drop. Last week, the Anderson Animal Control Commission denied Vivian House's petition for a permit that would have allowed her to keep up to 50 of her dogs. Larry Davis, the city's chief humane officer, had planned to enforce a Madison County Court order this week to remove all but four of the animals.
But a remark by House quoted In a local newspaper raised Davis' concerns about sending his staff to the woman's home. House was quoted saying, "He had better bring a big gun."
