Papakeechie is

It 's? hard to believe that the peaceful lake called Papakeechie has not been there for thousands of years like other lakes in this county. Likewise it is hard to picture a marshland with six lakes in its place. Papakeechie Lake was named for an Indian chief and was created 64 years ago by Charles A. Sudlow of Indianapolis. Sudlow purchased the land about 1890. Sudlow built an eight-foot earth dam and flooded the area. His water covered the marshland and flooded three lakes called Hart sell, one called Jarrett. one called Hooper and one called Gan Chief Papakeechie Papakeechie was a Miami

Indian chief who lived in the area and claimed to have fought, like other chiefs in the area, at the Battle of Tippecanoe He was a brother to Chief Wawasee. Papakeechie. Papakeecha or more properly Pa-hed-ke-teh-a is transulated “Flat Belly.” He was about 60 years old when the whiteman came to Kosciusko county. He was described as being a dark copper color and giving to wearing a silver ring or Fish bone through his nose. The dd chief died between 1838 and 1840 and is buried along road 8 near the lake which bears his name. Papakeechie Today Today Papakeechie Lake is one of the most peaceful bodies of water in the area. The cottages

named after an Indian chief

and houses that surround her shores are built on the hillside that protect her from high winds. Many home owners have taken advantage of the terrain and built their homes in the sides of the hills. Here and there around the lake one finds a stairway leading down the hills. Most are built with landings and are unique in their own way. Tri-Cuunty Just across the road from Papakeechie is the Tri-County game preserve It too has a tnique place in the Lakeland area and its stark beauty is quite a contrast to the peaceful The fish and game preserve is oneof the most interesting places around. It is under the Indiana department of natural resources. The area is composed of 3.469 acres and is located in Kosciusko and Noble counties. The original plans called for land from Whitley county to be added later but this never came about The area is open all year long with hunting allowed by permit only. It is a Fisherman’s paradise with 10 natural lakes and 22 man made ponds. The headquarters for the TriCounty preserve are located in a log cabin-type structure just across the road from Papakeechie Lake on the far side of the reserve. The continental divide runs through the area with the water in the northern part of the reserve draining through a series of lakes and streams into the Great Lakes while the water in the southern part of the reserve goes into Webster Lake and eventually intb the Gulf of Mexico.

STARK BEAUTY ACROSS THE ROAD — Across the road from Papakeechie Lake oae finds the Tri-Couniy fish and game preserve. Here one finds stark beanty even in the swamp areas. Had we faced the camera in the other direction we would have caught the beautiful shores and quaint homes and cottages lining the hillsides around the lake.

'Once Upon a Mattress' is last show The final show for the 1974 summer season of the Enchanted Hills Playhouse will be the popular musical farce "Once Upon A Mattress”. Based upon the well-known fairy-tale, "The Princess And The Pea”, this bouncy musical provided a big boost in the career of Carol Burnett as she has portrayed the role of Princess Winifred often on the stage and most recently on television. Opening night for "Once Upon A Mattress” will be August 15, and the show will run Thursday. Friday and Saturday, Aug. 15, 16 and 17 and Aug. 22, 23 and 24. Enchanted Hills Playhouse artistic director, Douglas E. Stark, will be playing double-duty in this final production of the season. In addition to directing "Once Upon A Mattress”, Doug will also be seen on stage as King Sextimus. The role of the domineering queen is played by the versatile Denise Cole. Their son. Dauntless the Drab, is played by Rick Gossett, and Princess Winifred, the Weebegone. is being portrayed by Becky -Borczen. The success of "Once Upon A Mattress” rests with the fact that, even though it stays very close to the original story of “The Princess And The Pea”, there are just enough variations to keep it full of surprises for the audince. “Once Upon A Mattress” should prove to be a successful final show for a very successful summer season.
