Local people attend wetland hearing

Several individuals from Syracuse attended a hearing in the Indiana House this morning on a bill concerning wetlands. The bill, sponsored by Thames Mauzy, R-Warsaw, concerns the wetlands and any altering of such land. “1 feel that this legislation has been needed for several years,” Mauzy said. After researching the issue, he drafted the bill. "It gives the Department of Natural Resources the authority on controlling permits for lake filling and dredging and such as that," he explained "I think it’s something that’s needed by the Department of Natural Resources to protect our lakes and natural resources.” Mauzy continued. He said there would no doubt be opposition to the bill, but he doesn’t anticipate any changes in the bill. "There

Ducks again . . .

This has been an extremely hard winter for the ducks and wildlife and it is difficult to imagine the indifference our conservation department and citizens have toward helping to preserve our wildlife. A little corn and feed from the conservation department and people, would go a long way toward helping to keep them alive during these winter months. There are now about 400 ducks below the Syracuse dam that would surely starve if they were not given a little corn by the neighbors. The conservation department’s alibi is that they would go away if they were not fed.

Organize muzzle loading association

Several muzzle loader shooting enthusiasts met Wednesday, Feb. 2. in the Hagermans Restaurant in Ligonier to form a shooting club under the auspices of members of Stone's Trace „ Historical Society. The group will be chartered under the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association and called “Stone’s Trace Regulators,” commemorating the local society and a group of men bent onkeepng the law and order in this area before the turn of the century. Those elected as club officers for the year were: President — Ed Harting of Svracuse * Vice president - Jim Nelson of Syracuse Secretary - Gerald Lung of Ligonier HISTORIC FLIGHT Orville and Wilbur Wright on Dec. 17. 1903, made their first successful flight at Kitty Hawk, N.C.

may be one small amendment,” he foresees, saying it may be a wording correction. Chester Elder, Syracuse realtor, said many, many carloads of people have planned to go to Indianapolis to oppose the bill. "Many of the developers who can attend will be there,” Elder said. He added that some will even be accompanied by their attorneys. "I’m opposed to the bill,” Elder stated. "The terminology of this bill is just crazy.” He is one of the people in attendance and says to circumvent such hassles the land should be purchased by the federal agencies which want to protect the land. "I think that the only answer is a process of purchasing land through federal agencies.” Elder outlined.

The ducks that remain here during the winter are the ones that have been fed here during the summer by the vacationers and are gone during the winter. After being called several times, the conservation officers came and looked at the ducks but didn’t do anything about them. With the amount of money collected from licenses, duck stamps and fines, there should be some allocated to feed these animals during the winter months. If there are other concerned citizens, it might be worthwhile to write Representative Thames Mauzy who is on the conservation committee. Everett F. Ketering

Treasurer — Garry Ringler Syracuse The men discussed several subjects relating to shooting, as well as the clothing of hunters who settled in this area. A total of 10 members is required for the club to acquire national membership. There will also be club dues. The regular meeting night for the organization will be the first Wednesday of each month.

Calling the bill "strictly a police law,” Jack Claud Mason, said he will attend with his attorney. ‘‘My point is the unreasonable and Constitutional taking of your property and the police power,” Mason described. “It consists of the taking of property without paying for it,” Mason continued. “I believe we need to protect our wetlands," says Senator John B. Augsburger. R-Milford, "but we also need to be concerned about the property owners.” Augsburger said he desires the input of developers and property owners. Augsburger has consented to sponsoring the bill through the senate, if the bill comes through the house and he agrees with the fraft. When the bill reaches the senate. "That’s when we’ll really get in and work.” said Elder.
