’ jl JH High water problem discussed by board

Considerable discussion arose over the high water problem in Syracuse at the Tuesday night meeting of the Syracuse Town Board. Don Impey, Wawasee Boat Company, said within four to six weeks he and the other marinas are going to be responsible for putting in over 1,000 boats in the lake. But, he said the water is too high and was wondering what the board’s plans were since it is now the G*am control board. Darrel Grisamer, board member who has control of the dam, said, “Our creek is going just about as much as we can push it.” At the present time it is open 21 inches with eight inches going over the spillway. Grisamer added the level of the creek has dropped approximately four inches since he opened the dam. Continuing to say there is nothing more to be done, he said, “You ask me where are we going to put boats. Where am I going to put the** water?” Creek Needs Cleaning Dave Heckaman, Sudlow's Pier Shop, spoke up saying the town had this problem 10 years ago but the problem is more with Turkey Creek than with the dam. He said, “What we need t<J do is initiate some action to get the creek cleaned out.” Grisamer said the board approached the county with this this year, but hasn’t received any action back. He said one of the main problems with this is that Turkey Creek crosses over the county line into Noble County, which is where most of the water is coming from. Heckaman said- he has investigated several alternatives for getting state funds to help with the dredging. He said the creek, if dredged, would make a nice canoe run or snowmobile run. He added the state is very interested in recreation. “We can create another recreational activity and achieve what we want done,” he added. Town Attorney Robert Reed told Heckaman it might take over a year for paperwork to be done on who owns property along the creek. There was also some question as to how these property owners would feel. He advised the board to take it up with the Army Corp of Engineers or county commissioners. Another Solution? Mrs. Betty Dust, ClerkTreasurer spoke up saying there might be another solution. She

said, “The problem is not letting the water out when it should be. It should be let out in the fall so we would have some place to put the water when we need it.” Heckaman disagreed saying if the water was let out in late fall and two feet of ice settles on the lakes over the winter, this could cause “innumerable damage” to concrete foundations for the piers.

A committee was formed of Grisamer, Impey and Heckaman to review the situation and decide on some course of action. Reed will contact the Army Corp of Engineers to see if there is anything it can do.

Home bread baker valuable

Most people think high food costs mean dull food on the dinner table. That’s not so if you have a bread baker in the kitchen. You’ll save considerably on food costs and the family will enjoy treats you can’t afford to buy at the supermarket. So pamper your bread baker. You have an asset that will pay dividends every day of the year. Ingredients for yeast breads are among the low cost items in every supermarket. Yeast doughs are versatile, allowing “you to add nutrition packed ingredients such as cheese, eggs, nuts, whole grain cereals and raisins. Combined with enriched flour, such ingredients help you pack a lot of nutrition into every baking. The recipe for Sweet Potato Pan Rolls that follows illustrates how the addition of a vitamin packed vegetable takes to yeast dough. It makfs two pans of rolls, serve one fresh and freeze the other for another day. SWEET POTATO PAN ROLLS (Makes Two Dozen) two-thirds cup warm water (105 degrees F.-115 degrees F.) 2 packages active dry yeast 2 tablespoons sugar Hi teaspoons salt 2 tablespoons softened margarine IVa cups lukewarm mashed cooked sweet potatoes or yams cup currants 3 to 3t* cups unsifted flour Measure warm water into “Wisely and slow; they stumble that run fast."
