Board Has Meeting The board of directors of the Syracuse Lake Association held the spring meeting at the home of the president, Frank L. Putt. In attendance were Richard W. Heyde, William J. Pipp, Charles W. Hursh, E. Leonard Nichols, Dale W. Sparklin, and A. Dee Stiver. Advisor, R. G. “Jerry” Johnson, and Robert H. Rule were absent. The directors solemnly executed the duty, as set forth in the by-laws, to nominate eligible candidates to fill the vacancy on the board. David W. Stoops was unanimously approved as such a candidate and has since accepted the invitation to become a board member. David Stoops and wife Sandra came to Syracuse from Nappanee to make their permanent home at 80 east Shore drive. Both have expressed high interest in the welfare of Syracuse Lake and its community. Committees were formed to distribute the work load that the advancing summer season brings. Dale Sparklin was named to head-up the weed-control committee along with Charles Hursh and Dee Stiver. Legislative and board-of-appeals committee consists of Robert Rule, chairman, and Richard Heyde and Dee Stiver. William Pipp, David Stoops, and Leonard Nichols, chairman, compose the membership , -committee. The president pdded s Richard Heyde and himself to jhe membership commill form the five-man nominating committee which will function one month in advance of the annual meeting (July) of the entire membership of the Lake Association. Members in good standing who want to present candidates for nominations to the board may submit names to this committee. New business concentrated on the forthcoming summer season and the inevitable weed problem in the lake. The directors undertook to analyze the public’s concern, or lack of it, A September letter had been mailed to all association members outlining six alternative measures to cope with the weed problem, asking members to appraise the merit of the alternative they favored. Twenty-three per cent responded, the greateV share being excellent appraisals, but the fact remained that 77 per cent did not respond at all. More analysis proved that only 58 per cent of lake property owners belonged to the association which meant that only a few were sup* porting the financial burden of keeping the weeds mowed in order that all may enjoy water activities. In view of the large per cent of apathy, it was the decision of the board to discontinue mowing the weeds this season. If need be, mowing would be resumed but the preference is to conserve finances for a more permanent counteraction to the accelerating weed growth. Property owners are reminded of Indiana state law regarding weed-killing chemicals used in lakes: A resident may treat only 200 square feet of area directly adjoining his beach. The chemical must be a product approved for lake weeds. Permission to treat larger areas may be obtained from the Department of
