History, Records and Data Reviewed on Syracuse and Wawasee Water Problem

Town Officials, Lake Committee, and State Officials Discuss Issue. (In the hope that the information learned at a recent meeting of Syracuse town board members, a committee from Lake Wawas and representatives from the state Department of Conservation, the state Healh Department < and the Indiana Flood Control commission, will give our citizens here a true picture of the difficulties present, in regard to the “high water situation” and what has been done and is being done to alleviate the trouble, The Journal presents the folowing article,) I Lake Wawasee and Syracuse . residents have been plagued this past month by high waters which , reached a point never before seen by old-time residents. This does not mean that the water here has covered any houses, or even 1 reached the lower rflbor of any lake home. - The actual high water mark was about 14 inches . above the normal level, as established by the state. Normal lake level is set at 8.87, the high mark was just a little over the 10 foot mark. At the present time the lake is some 3 inches over normal. This high water causes, however, flooding of some basements in town and at Wawasee; it causes filling up of . cess pools of homes here in town without a sewer connection .and of all homes at the lake located on the low ground. There are hundreds of homes at Wawasee built on low ground, and only 12 to 15 inches above the “normal lake level. Some damage may have been done to shore line where it vras not protected by a seawall. An “anticipated” damage which could have been very costly, did not develop when there was no freeze-up at the lake during the high water period. Had the lake frozen over during the high water great damage could have resulted to sea walls. Present at a meeting held last Friday at the Syracuse town council rooms were: 1 town board, Ray R. Frevert, Joe R. Bushong, Ronald V. Kramer, and town attorney, R. Leon Connolly. Lake Wawasee committee, consisting of Eugene H. Hattersley, Morrison Island; Paul Warner, of the south side, and George Pebble, Pickwick park. Indiana Flood Control and Water Resources Commission, J. I. Perry, chief engineer, Indiana .Department of Conservation, Charles H. Bechert, director of water resources. Indiana State Board of Health, Max L. Barrett, sanitary engineer, and Robert W. Heider, assistant chief engineer. The meeting was harmonious in every respect and every one present expressed an opinion that a great deal of good had, and would develop from the information brought out. According to the Indianapolis weather bureau. January 1950 was the wettest January in recorded history. At Indianapolis, a mark of 13.12 inches was recorded in July, 1875. At the Lake Wawasee fish hatchery, a little more than 13 inches of rain fell during the past month. The normal rainfall for January was three inches. This abnormal rainfall upset all preparations by the town of Syracuse to handle the overflow from Wawasee through the town dam. The history of the dams in the outlet from Syracuse lake, which controls the level in Wawasee, goes back over 100 years. Ward and Crosson built a dam here to operate a mill. In 1>902 the town of Syracuse leased the property from the Syracuse Water Co., and in 1915 the present dam was constructed according to recommendations from the state. A spillway is a part of the dam to keep the lake at a constant level and two gates, each six foot in length are available to let out additional water. The dams put in by Ward and Crosson, and subsequently taken over by the town, so that some responsible authority would be in charge, raised the level of the water at Wawasee some seven feet. Prior to that, Wawasee (Turkey lake, at that time) was (Continued on back page)

It is being f lowered at rate of about one inch c each 24 hours. « c Wawasee Proposals t At the meeting here Feb. 3rd, < Eugene Hattersley, speaking for j the Wawasee group, first made j the following proposal: t That the town of Syracuse 5 give to the State of Indiana the 1 property and right to operate the 1 dam here in town. Mr. Hatters- 1 ley stated that “intelligent op- 1 eration of the gates at the dam 1 would have prevented all the trouble.” t The Town Council indicated f that they would not be favorable t to any plan to give away any pro- s erty or rights of the town. 1 Mr. Hattersley then asked if ] the Town Board; would be willing * to accept advice in the future as * to the operation of the gates from * the Indiana Department of Con- 1 servation. The Town Board was { quick to agree that any advice £ from this source would be most * (Note. —Whether or not the Conservation Dept, is go- £ ing to give out weather forecasts t that are 100 percent right, a day, I week, month or six months in < advance was not brought out. < Mr. Hattersldy indicated very strongly that his group' had no 1 ill feelings towards the Town ; Board, and their only purpose : and aim was to cooperate for the < common good. 1 What Was Accomplished 1. A better, understanding between lake and town citizens. ( 2. An invitation from the lake , group to the town board to join a proposed “Lake Wawasee organization, and be a part of it. 3. An agreement by the Town Board and Conservation Department to cooperate in the operation of the gates at the dam. Another thing that will develope from the meeting is likely to be the completion of the town sewerage disposal plant. This plant was started in the early 1930’5, using WPA labor and the town buying materials. It is 65 percent completed. The coming of the war period and dropping of WPA help stopped the project. Two electric pumps for use in pumping sewerage from the plant into Turkey Creek have been on hand since the 1930’5. Since they were not deemed important they were not installed by the town board at that time. A concrete “grid” must be built first, at cost of $2500, for which the money is available. Last fall the town board attempted to get a contractor to finish work on the ( grid, so that the two pumps could be put in operation, but failed to L find anyone to do the work. This “grid” will be constructed this spring, so that extra pumping fa- ( cilities will be available. I BOY SCOUT DISPLAY ' Troop 28, of 8.5.5. are plan- ' ning on a Scout Project display to be shown in the window of s N. I, p. s, co., in honor of their , 40th Birthday. The propect will be Scout camp display and built and set up entirely by the boys.

Scout Drive For Funds Next week the annual roundup for funds necessary towards the operation of Pioneer Trails Council, Boy Scouts of America, will occur in all towns within the three counties of Elkhart, LaGrange, and Kosciusko. Fred Priser of Goshen, Council Training Chairman, asserted that the objective budget is $27,370.00, of which $16,500.00 has been approved by the Goshen and Elkhart Community Chests. Syracuse men and women will make a house-to-house . campaign for funds. This proposed budget includes the services of four full time executives (The Council has three? at the present time)/ secretary salaries, supplies and postage, leadership and maintenance of Pioneer Trails Scout Reservation, traveling expenses, council, activities, insurance, camp and office equipment, retirement (Social Security), contributions, office and camp utilities, leadership training and finance roundup printing costs. Only 1% of the total budget is sent to the National Council office to subsidize its expense, leaving 99% of the total income to be disbursed 'within the local three counties. Total registered membership gained from 2,304 in 1948 to 2,690 in 1949, or an increase of 17%. At the same time the Council enrolled 42% more scouts at the camping reservation last year than in 1948. Moreover a sharp increase in the training and advancement programs indicates that the National Crusade to Strengthen the Arm of Liberty has gained momentum in each troop and pack within the council area. David M. Russell of Elkhart, Council President, expressed the opinion that the optimistic status of the scouting organization was two-fold in reason: First, higher caliber of leadership has been recruiting on the Unit level of scoutmasters and cubmasters including many veterans who were former scouts; secondly, a better organized and functioning district committee and commissioner staff in each of the council’s four districts. Elaborating in the second point, Russell stated that the Boy Scouts of America was first organized forty years ago by enthusiastic citizens. They wished to present a program to boys based upon outdoor activities; designed to train citizenship, develop character and build physical fitness. Later cub scouting and it's home centered program was integrated. The program rapidly increased in growth and complexity that it was necessary to employ full time executives as administrators and coordinators of the volunteer scouters; no local person having the time to devote his volunteer services full time to this responsibility. Thus in 1950, Pioneer frails Council has expanded to the point where four professional men are needed to render effective service to the district organization of Scouters, including camp admin-

istration during the summer months. With the strenuous council and district programs, coupled with a very’ large number of scout units, it is impossible for the field executive to attend a ( unit meeting more than once or j twice per year, and then as an ad- j visor studying how to enrichen { the scouting program. « Thus most of the boy leader- < ship in scouting is handled by S volunteer men who feel a sense 1 of civic responsibility and a love for the boy and the program 1 scouting has to offer. In each i sponsoring institution sufficient < manpower has been appointed as committeemen and leaders to op- i erate the local unit, whether it be , I a pack, troop, or explbrer post. i Other scouters are needed as < specialists to guide the leaders to the better quality of scouting pos- < sible. A commissioner staff in each district is assigned to advise certain institutions in the use of < the program, making monthly r contacts with the unit and its < leaders. This staff also conducts ] bi-monthly leader’s roundtables to ] discuss problems and instill new ; ideas. ] Several men serve as members ( of the various operating commit- ; tee, who, combined with the re- < presentative of each institution sponsoring scouting from the district committee, headed by a district chairman. These men organize and, when necessary, reorganize units; they train scouters at formal and informal ses- j sions, So the boy is benefited by more experienced leaders with the element of “know how;” the advancement committee encourages proper recognition of scouts achieving higher rank; the camping activities committee plans and conducts camporees, hikorees, summer camp, cub scout district activities, scout circus, etc; the finance committee is responsible for the raising of sufficient funds and control of disbursement; the health and safety? committee plans an annual firstaidoree, checks the standards of meeting rooms and conditions at summer camp for the safeguarding of public health and the public relations commit- , tee is responsible for publicity, the nature of which add promotion to scouting activities and glamorizes this important organization to the general public. Other men are needed for special projects: Camp Development Project, Jamboree at Valley Forge this summer. Merit Badge Counselors, etc. Os course, many women are included as Den Mothers. The maximum efficiency in the scouting movement occurs when each of these committees ahd personnel is active, interested, * and takes initiative in carrying out its duties. Russell expressed ’ his personal opinion that all 9 scouters will raise scouting to its highest peak in membership and I program quality during 1950. t . I SPEAKS AT ROTARY ’ William Stotts, 4-H Club leadr er and vocational agriculture in- » structor at Syracuse high school, r was a guest Monday night at the • weekly meeting of the SyracuseWawasee Rotary Club.

Firemen Seek To Buy First Aid Truck The Syracuse Volunteer Fire department will hold a public party at Wayne’s Grill, on Monday night, Feb. 27. < Popular games will be available for all who, attend, with some dandy prizes. The object of the party is to raise money to enable the firemen to purchase more equipment. The firemen here plan to purchase a light panel truck, to be equipped with first aiji supplies and equipment. This would be available for use in any emergency such as injuries in an automobile accident, fires, drownings, etc. The fire department also wants to install a private public address system from the telephone exchange to the home of every firejnan. This would enable a telephone operator to notify all members of the department as to the location of a fire at the same time, and save much time. Bremen has recently installed such a system and it is working out very well. Merchants here will donate prizes for the games. COMPLETE DRIVE FOR POUO FUNDS The drive for funds for carrying on the work of the Infantile Paralysis Foundation has been completed in Syracuse. A total of $573.27 has beeW collected, with $5.00 promised from one other local club. < A total of $71.46 was collected from the coin collectors placed in various stores.

Yellow jackets came from behind in the final minute of the game last Friday night, at Etna Green, to mark up their 18th victory this season. The final score was 54-51. Although Syracuse led at the end of each quarter, the Etna Green Cubs really threw a scare into the Syracuse rooters during the fourth quarter. With three minutes to go, the score was tied f 44-all. Etna Green went into a three-point lead—then the Yellowjackets bounced right back to win the game. Handicapped by Miller “collecting” four personal fouls before the first half was out and by the absence of Barnhart, who played only the last four minutes of the game, the Jackets were a bit “behind the 8-ball.” Barnhart has not recovered from an attack of the “flu” three weeks ago and had not scrimaged with the squad all week and did not “warm up” prior to the game with his teammates. . Tommy Anglin, of Eltna Green, totaled 23 points, and Harmon turned in 13. Darr, with 20 points, and Kroh and Meek with 15 each, led the Jackets. In the preliminary game. Etna Green took a 1-point victory from the Syracuse Reserves, 2120.
