Traveling around big Lake Wawasee

By SUSAN BENNETT Gas station attendants will wam you it s 30 miles around Lake Wawasee. And if you ask them for directions to it without mentioning a specific location, they look at you like you're crazy. Or they figure you'll return later for further instructions. Later, you find out exactly how big the "Big Lake" really is. Sitting on the shore you can’t see all the perimeters of the take. The only visible boundaries are the shore beneath you and the one opposite. Even looking out of the corner of your eye, the farthest stretches escape your sight. A wide, wide angle lens for one's eye would be helpful in getting the full picture of the lake. On the opposite shore are little green bushes like broccoli bunches which are really trees. Minute boxes and shapes sit above the blue water — houses. In front of the boxes and shapes are smaller dots, probably boats, piers and boathouses that match those on this side. On this journey on the north shore from Kale Island, around Harkless Harbor to Eli Lilly houses line the shore with a few businesses here and there. An official landmark sign proclaims that the 36 square mile area was once a Indian reservation called Papakeechie’s Reserve. The Miami Chief, Papakeechie, also known as Flat Belly, held the land from 1828 to 1834 when it was returned to the government. Some time later the land was

owned by the Wabash and Erie Canal. Now the reservation consists of houses. Large, stately houses behind fences sit next to more average, American family ones. Gateposts sport plaques with titles like ‘ Anchors Aweigh" and "Cedar Beach" for friends lost along the winding roads. Almost every inch of lake front property is covered by a dwelling of some type. In a grove of trees a sand road leads to a point of land. More sand has been bulldozed onto the point, ready for a house or cottage to be constructed. Near it, a backwater channel s surface is dusted with white puffs of cottonwood. Between the houses, a building looks out of place. It's the former Wawasee Prep, deserted except for the two U-Haul trucks parked behind. The whole atmosphere is relaxed. People move slower in restaurants and even in the other businesses like marinas. And on the lakefront, people sit in the midmorning sun and just rest. Everywhere there is the sound of lapping waves. But occasionally the soundtrack is interrupted by the mingling hum of a lawn mower or the squeel of kids swimming off a pier. Out on the lake some fishermen remain almost stationary, moving a bit to try their luck in another spot. Zoom. A speedboat zips by shattering the mood. While the speedboats zoom, a

What seems quite a diana’s largest natural lake. MORE THAN A COTTAGE — While some property owners on the lake spend week ends at their cottages, some residents live in stately looking houses. A RELAXED ATMOSPHERE — People around the lake take life a little easy, enjoying the sun and water sports, like swimming, fishing and boating.

Tippy owners hire safety patrol personnel for summer

The directors of the Lake Tippecanoe Property Owners, at their regular board meeting on May 29, voted to hire supplemental safety patrol personnel this summer. They have been instrumental in obtaining increased patrol time from the department of natural resources in the past and have been assured of patrol personnel at least part of every day this summer. However, the number of officers available and the number of lakes to be covered combine to make full evening and night patrol coverage impossible. The men to be employed by the association will be legally empowered and will spend much of their time during the late evening hours, when illegal speeding and skiing has been common Frank Henzie. the chairman of the water safety committee, reported that he had attended a meeting erf the natural resources commission and that they have

adopted an ordinance allowing the department to selectively zone and regulate areas of natural lakes. This authority has in the past applied only to reservoirs, where areas have been set aside for fishing and swimming and it is hoped that now speeding in congested and dangerous areas may be prevented. George Buckingham, a resident of Goshen and Lake Tippecanoe, was introduced as a new member of the board by Richard Lawrence, president and was assigned duties as the legal representative of the association. It was agreed that whenever illegal operations, such as improper septic system installations. are brought to their attention. Lawernce and Buckingham are authorized to take immediate action. This is in accordance with the long avowed purpose of the organization to protect the lake environment and purity of the lake waters.
