Dedicated group carries on playhouse tradition )

By BILL SPURGEON A dedicated group of young theater enthusiasts reopened the Enchanted Hills Playhouse the past two week ends with a successful production of Neil Simon’s and Burt Bacharach’s “Promises, Promises.” Playing before comfortable to nearly-sold-out houses in the barn theater east of Wawasee, the newest Enchanted Hills group (operating under the unlikely name of Thunder Bay Players) shows more than the average amount of talent — and promise. “Promises, Promises” is the musical version of a popular play called “The Apartment” which earned Academy Award fame when it was made into a movie. Simon dialogue is always a pleasure, and Bacharach’s music is pleasant and singable. Dave Shaff, a Ball State senior •from Logansport, Roxanne Hagemeyer, an IU music major from Bloomington, and Robert Zehr, a Ball State graduate student and part of the new Enchanted Hills management, all performed well in the major “Promises, Promises” roles. An enthusiastic pit orchestra on occasion did almost overwhelm some of the cast involved in lesser singing roles, but Mr. Shaff and Miss Hagemeyer turned in extremely capable performances. So did Barbara Gbssett, a music teacher from Arcola whose role was not a singing one but one which demanded — and received —a strong sense of comic identity. This writer has been reviewing dramatic and musical productions at. various “Wawasee playhouses” for 20 years now, dating back to 1953 when the famous (and now defunct) Culver Playhouse opened a Wawasee Playhouse in a tent at the Crow’s Nest Inn. Taking the Wawasee Playhouse (1953-1954), a predecessor organization which operated in 1941 in the Crow’s Nest Inn barn and an adjacent tent, the original Enchanted Hills group.of the early 19605, and the Enchanted Hills Playhouse organization of Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne campus people (Wawasee Arts Foundation) from 1968-71, the present organization is No. 5 chronologically in a 32-year period. All of these theatrical groups have filled a local need, some admittedly better than others. All

have offered young people interested in the stage as a career (or as serious amateurs), a chance to perform for nonacademic audiences. All offered a form of entertainment which many local and lake folks appreciated — and continued to appreciate. ■hie current group seems to be a bit different than others. They have made a strong effort to get acquainted locally. They realize that they must have strong support from area residents in the audience, and that to survive and prosper, they need the good will of persons who might wish toContribute beyond simply buying tickets. Theater, like anything else these days, is a

Maintenance management adopted by Indiana highway commission

Citing a critical need to improve maintenance efforts on the state highway system, the Indiana State Highway commission today adopted a resolution to establish a comprehensive maintenance management program. The commission states in the resolution that it musttgive top priority to the preservation and proper maintanance of Indiana’s huge capital investment in its highway system, as well as providing increased safety to the travelling public. At a new conference following the commission meeting, Commission Chairman Richard Boehning said, “Highway safety and proper highway maintenance are inseparable.” Boehning said the actual value of Indiana’s state highway investment is conservatively estimated at 7.9 billion dollars. “Today, we are expending less that 9-10 of one per cent (.9) to maintain Indiana’s highway network. From the standpoint of business economics, as well as the realistic physical condition of the roadway, a greater effort must be made to preserve the motorist’s investment,” the Chairman stated, In addition, Boehning said preventative maintenance on shoulders, and drainage needs to be increased. The Commission will make an investigation of management systems and necessary funding to. “effectuate an improved maintenance program.” The Maintenance Management program will include methods and procedures for reporting, planning and operating. A training program will also be established so that all maintenance personnel are properly trained-for the job to be done. The objective of an improved maintenance management system is standardized and uniform levels of service, work programming by priorities, scheduling of work for optimum efficiency and performance budgeting.

business. Royalties must be paid, living expenses must be met, the physical plant must be maintained. Anyone in theater knows that no individual ever made any money in summer theater in Turkey Creek township, Kosciusko county, Indiana. “Promises, Promises,” a musical done with good musicianship, good choreography, and good acting, got Enchanted Hills, 1973, off to an auspicious start. Another musical, “Star Spangled Girl,” opens July 4 for a four-night run. Fonfolks looking for something to do for week end company or week night diversion, there’s good entertainment at Enchanted Hills.

“This is much the same way we operate in the area of new highway planning and construction. We should be just as organized and efficient in caring for the road after we cut the ribbon as we are before the road is opened to traffic”, Boehning said. “Governor Bowen and the highway commission simply are not satisfied with past efforts. We want to bring the road up to the condition motorists have a right to expect and to insure that the new modem highways being opened today will receive adequate care tomorrow.” An advisory committee will be created to oversee and consider new operational improvements. The advisory committee will consist of commission members, staff, representatives of the legislature and citizens interested in better Hoosier highways. Boehning said that mutual cooperation among the commission, the Governor of Indiana, the legislature and the general public will be sought in formulating and adopting an improved maintenance program. A technical committee will also be established to obtain appropriate information, establish a work procedure and to assist in the development and implementation of a maintenance program. Its members will include the six district maintenance engineers, as well as other commission personnel. The technical committee will be headed by a maintenance management director to be appointed by the chairman. Pre-va cation maintenance The Chicago Motor club- AAA suggests that you take your car in for maintenance before you leave on vacation. Have them check brakes, adjust wheel alignment, balance tires, inspect radiator and cooling systems. Also change oil and filter, lubricate, check, clean or replace air filter, inspect battery and cables, examine windshield wipers and adjust headlight.

Safe Boating Week, July 1-7 WASHINGTON, D. C., - Bouyed but not made complacent tty the marked reduction in the number of boating fatalities recorded' last year, the boating safety community, coordinated from here, has planned a vigorous campaign far National Safe Boating Week, July 1-7. Government, industry and sport groups are providing the “oomph” for this drive, and they are supported by a Presidential proclamation which this year calls for “all Americans who use our waterways to take advantage of the numerous boating safety bourses offered by governmental and private organizations.” President Nixon goes “I particularly urge the novice and the occasional boatman, the one who operates a small boat on only a few week ends of the year, to consider his own and his family’s safety and to be prepared for the unexpected by taking advantage of the sound safety information such courses offer.” The intention being to make a big noise to focus attention on what actually is a year-round promotion of the National Safe Boating Committee, Inc., activities leading up to this week’s observance have included the distribution of some 7,500 kits of promotional materials for use by boating safety and community groups around the nation, in publicizing the week. The National Weather Service will integrate the message into its weather forecasts for the week. The message is that “Safe Boating Is No Accident.” Take advantage of the free courses by government groups at all levels. Watch out for bicyclers The Chicago Motor club cautions motorists to be on the lookout for bike riders at all times. Bicyclers sometimes fail to observe safety rules and become a hazard to themselves as well as motorists. Slow down when bicyclers are spotted and give them plenty of room. Three Syracuseans celebrate birthdays Mrs. Eugene Brown, her granddaughter, Tammy McCulloch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Don McCulloch; and Mrs. Orley Brown, all three of Syracuse, celebrated their birthdays with family and friends on Sunday, June 23 at the Eugene Brown home. Mrs. Eugene Brown’s birthday was June 26, and Tammy and Mrs. Orley Brown were both born June 27. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Brown and family of Millersburg, Mr. and Mrs. Don McCulloch and family, Jesse Botts and Eugene Brown all of Syracuse; Mrs. B. R'.
