Dale Sparklin has dream about Park
Dale Sparklin is a sergeant on the Syracuse police force, and he’s also president of the Syracuse park board. And when he wears the latter hat, he confesses to having what he calls “a personal dream.” Railroad Park Plan His “dream” consists of “doing with what is known as the Railroad Park, located across Medusa street from the B & O railroad tracks. Sparklin has considered the 12 by 15 abandoned pump house an eyesore for some time. His “dream” would be to tear down the old pump house and replace it with a new, modem building to house public rest rooms and a concession stand. As quick as a flash he whips out a brochure which illustrates in living color the type building Sparklin has in mind. He says he hasn’t brought this up before the town board as yet, but hopes to in the near future. He has quietly suggested the plan to other members of the park board, but has not gone all out, he confides. Working on the park board with Sparklin are Mrs. Blanche Thornburg, Mrs. Wilbur Smith, Mrs. Tom Prickett and Peter Blue. Estimate: $4,500 Sparklin says the building he

has in mind will cost about $4,500, and there is an outside chance the town can get federal assistance for the project. The park is located on the corner of MeduSa and Front streets, and is a popular spot for picknicers. It was turned over to the town of Syracuse by the B & O Railroad July 8, 1958, Sparklin claims. He said on this past Sunday the park was jammed with people and there were cars everywhere. with Syracuse Enterprise to use their parking lots on Saturdays and Sundays and during holidays to handle the summer influx of picnicers and boaters. The area does not provide for bathing, but does a land office business in launching boats, according to Sparklin. Also in Sparklin’s long range plans is a charge for docking boats along the channel. New Parking Plan j Another plan Sparklin has for city parks is to eliminate parking on the waterfront side of W. E. Long Drive at city park. He calls present parking methods a “traffic hazard,” and he plans to go before the town board in the near future to request permission to ask that all cars be parked across the road from the city park.
He estimated “about 1,000” boaters and picnicers at the park Sunday, coming from as far away as Fort Wayne and South Bend. Bibler-VanCuren reunion Sunday The annual Bibler-VanCuren reunion was held Sunday at the flowing well park south of North Webster. President Duane VanCuren of North Webster conducted a short business meeting in which officers for the coming year were elected as follows: William Bibler, Warsaw — president Irvin VanCuren, Ligonier — vice president Mrs. William Bibler, Warsaw — secretary-treasurer Mrs. Rqy Spry, retiring secretary-treasurer read a family history. Since the history is incomplete at this time, plans to continue with research on the subject and adding to the present information will continue into the ensuing year. Present at the meeting Sunday were 33 family members from Warsaw, Pierceton and North Webster and from Ohio. The 1974 reunion will be held at the same place on the second Sunday in June.

National guard spearheading landmark environmental project
INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana National Guard today agreed to spearhead a landmark enviommental project aimed at helping state and federal authorities identify and analyze potential water pollution threats to selected fresh water lakes and reservoirs in Indiana. According to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency’s regional administrator for region V, Francis T. Mayo, an agreement has been reached between Indiana’s adjutant general, brigadier general Alfred F. Ahner, and EPA to utilize national guard resources to collect an estimated 1,400 water samples from tributaries feeding the 26 lakes selected by the Indiana Stream Pollution Control Agency for the year-long EPA National Eutrophication Survey. Specifically, the Indiana National Guardsmen will conduct periodic sampling at 97 stations on the tributaries both to enable assessment of the eutrophication threat endangering surveyed lakes and to assist in the identification of nutrient sources. At the same time, three speciallyequiped HUEY jet helicopters — supplied to EPA by the department of defense — will be landing on the 26 Indiana lakes to conduct series of intensive water samplings to assess their current eutrophication problems and to establish their tolerance for various nutrient levels. “Eutrophication” is one of the most serious water quality problems facing many areas of the nation today. Excess chemical nutrients, notably phosphates, can over-stimulate aquatic plant growth. Ultimately, the eutrophication process so deteriorates water quality that fish die and the lake’s aesthetic and recreational values are lost. Over an extended period of continued growth and decay of plant life, the lake can slowly fill to the point where it will disappear. The nutrients which feed plant growth variously enter lakes from natural land runoff, from effluent discharged by municipal sewage treatment plants and industries, and from fertilized farmland. According to Mayo, the National Eutrophication Survey” .. . attempts, in light of existing state information, to discover a surveyed lake’s present condition, the threat of any future worsened eutrophication, and the principal sources of any damaging nutrient entering the lake, especially where municipal 'sewage treatment plants are involved. The survey’s product,” he added, “will be comprehensive reports on these 26 lakes, prepared in consultation with the Indiana Stream Pollution Control Agency to develop strategies for controlling identified problems.” John Winters of the Indiana Stream Pollution Control Agency explained that the survey information will complement the existing date collected on stream and lake water quality throughout the state. Robert R. Payne, EPA’s overall survey coordinator from Washington, D.C., delivered a letter to brigadier general Ahner from EPA acting administrator Robert W. Fri, in which the federal agency chief said he sought to recruit the Indiana guard because of what he termed the guard’s “ . . . proven dependability, capability, and tested organizational structure esstential to a program of this consequence. We have particular confidence,” wrote Fri, “ in the diligence of your individual Guardsmen. On this project their job is to produce extremely trustworthy results — and we know that we can count on the Guardsmen for exactly that.” The EPA acting administrator added that, “This national guard involvement in Indiana is to me yet another outstanding example of the manner in which welltrained, competent peace time military forces address many of our nation’s most pressing

domestic problems, without detracting from their primary preparedness role.” The Indiana Stream Pollution Control Agency will furnish a team of specialists to assist in the technical training of guardsmen. The first samples were taken at all state points on Saturday and Sunday, June 9 and 10. Those samples, like subsequent ones, were shipped to EPA’s national environmental research center, Corvallis, Oreg., for analysis. The final report on survey findings will be made available a few months after the conclusion of the one-year sampling

program. Brigadier general Ahner has apointed colonel Charles B. Roberts, state aviation officer, as project Officer for the Indiana survey. The Indiana Stream Pollution Control Agency’s survey liaison is John Winters, senior stream biologist. Lakes in Kosciusko county being tested are James, Wawasee, Webster, Winona and Tippecanoe. A total of five tributary sites will be tested on Wawasee, four each at Winona and Tippecanoe and two each at James and Webster.
