ANNIE GALLAHAN of B & K Root Beer is limping again - this time, believe it or not, she caught her foot under her husband’s shoe sole, and broke two toes on her right foot, the same foot she hurt about a year ago. Annie kept on working, however, and it hasn’t kept her off the golf course! —o— THE TOWN of Syracuse will miss the good services of Joe Thornburg as a local police officer. Joe tendered his resignation to the Syracuse Town Board last week, effective September 15. He said, quite simply, “The old rocking chair is calling.” Joe has served the community faithfully as an effective law enforcement officer since 1970, and on a part time basis some time before that. During this long tenure Joe has gained the respect of his fellow officers, the several town boards under which he has served, and the townspeople, especially the young folks. Joe’s attitude has been a “live and let live policy,” but he has been known to “read

the riot act” when he thought it was necessary. His one long suit is continuous plodding when on a case, and generally it has paid dividends well. The passing of his beloved wife, Juanita, quite unexpectedly, and his subsequent loneliness without doubt has been a determining factor in his decision to resign. We wish Joe well. And we know everyone in the community who knows him does likewise. —o— THE SEVERAL residents who live along North Shore Drive who have vented concern about a neighbor moving in with a covey of Saint Bernard dogs can allay their fears. Our roving reporter has investigated and found it all to be a hoax. As we heard it originally, the wife in the instance of the new neighbors had a male and female Saint Bernard dog that had given birth to 11 (yes, 11!) puppies. What a howl this was certain to make, reasoned the concerned neighbors in this otherwise serene neighborhood! Then we
heard one puppy died, and this would help a little, albeit not much. The word is that the new neighbors are respected citizens, not given to wild parties, and most certainly not dog lovers of any kind, much less lovers of the mammoth, jug-carrying Saint Bernard variety. We hope this ends the story. —o— THE KIWANIS Club of Syracuse has donated two engraving machines to the Syracuse police department, for use in identifying personal property items. They are for general use, and the police are urging townspeople to make use of them to keep track of items that might be easily stolen. Items are to be engraved with an “IN” for Indiana, plus a social security number. This is an idea that is catching on all over the country and is proving successful. Don’t call us; call the police and they’ll be glad to assist anyone. —O'SEPTEMBER 1 is the birthdate of a lot of famous people. Or so Sandy McNary would have us believe. On that day — last Friday — her husband Bob turned 40, she quietly told this column. She added that he prefers to consider it his second 39th birthday anniversary! —o— ALL OF which reminds us of the birthday parties the late Seth Ward held each September 1 at his Ogden Island home.
He started the ritual on his 65th birthday, and invited a host of children he had befriended throughout the community, plus some adults he knew well. It proved a good, rollicking day, usually, everything appearing unplanned, each one a little better than the last. Seth made it so everyone knew September 1 was the birthday of Seth Ward if nothing else. —o— JIM AND Fifi Louden were very pleased with the turquoise sale at their Wawasee Village establishment Friday. Auctioneer Everett Rookstool always brings an audience out and gets top dollar for those having the sale. Jim says he plans a similar sale each year if this one went well. -oCLIFFORM, D. and Judy Nicodemus and their two children, Jeff, 14. and Jay, eight, hope to leave Monday for Woodland, Calif., where Cliff will become a line foreman at the Sea Nymph plant in that city. Their exact address is not known as yet, but will appear in this column as soon as it has been established. Cliff resigned last week from the Syracuse Town Board where he labored in the vineyard of the town’s business for three years, quietly but efficiently. He has been an employee at Sea Nymph for 18 years, in two hitches, he says. Cliff is a Mentone native and Judy hails from Huntington, they confide, their marriage a product of a church camp romance. —o— TIM KROH, a WHS sophomore and son of John and Gail Kroh, was the victim of a broken right arm Saturday morning while playing quarterback in a junior varsity game with Goshen. Tim was taken to the Goshen Hospital where a three-hour operation corrected the break, set with a metal plate. It would appear axiomatic that he will be off the field the remainder of the year. —o— THIS COLUMN has been hearing beaucoup complaints about the recent sealing of the Milford-Syracuse road, all the way from how it was done to when it was done.
We’re sure the county highway department has its stbry to tell and could answer these complaints, and we’d like to give them the opportunity. The major portion of the road was sealed last Wednesday, the first day of school, when an inordinate amount of vehicles went over that road. And the hot climate kept the seal from setting up, giving off a sticky, adhesive material that found its way ail over cars using the road. Also heard were complaints that the stones used as a cover presented a bombardment of sorts, causing damage to the front of vehicles, and in several instances broken windows. There were many cases where motorists had the gas can out, cleaning the gooey sealer substance from their cars, over the Labor day week end. Comments one way or the other will be gladly received, and will appear in these columns next week. ROY (better known as “Doc”) Miller, employee at Leisure Time, Nappanee and a resident of Maple Grove Street, Wawasee Village, just thinks he’s on vacation. His wife Mary Jane has him painting the house. We had plans of mustering a covey of his friends to drop by and watch him work today (Wednesday) but then found he was putting the brush down for the day. THE LAKES AREA has gained a fine young family in the persons of Rex and Jackie Tinkey and their son Thad. The Tinkeys, natives of the Pierceton area, have bought a new home on Tippecanoe Lake and fall within the Lakeland school district. Thad, a sophomore, is in the Warrior football lineup, and will be something to be reckoned with by Warrior opponents. Rex travels for Whitley Products Co., in Pierceton. SOME OF the procedures in raising money and other matters were outlined by Robert “Bob" Jones when he spoke on the new lakes sewer system before members of the SyracuseWawasee Rotary Club Tuesday noon. Jones, who is president of the board of directors of the Sanitary District, showed a map of the area to members and talked about the progress of the new system. —o— JACKIE KUILEMA and Mary Bushong are joining a group of artists in Elkhart for a one week’s workshop painting “on the spot.” Instructor for the workshop, Mary Bushong said, is the renowned landscape painter from Nashville, Brown County, Frederick Wrigley. The artists will be painting two pictures a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and there will be a critique in the evening. The painting will be done in varied locations. The event is being sponsored by the Elkhart Art League and will begin next Monday. —o— WE HAVE learned that over $175 was raised for the Muscular Dystrophy telethon, when Roger’s Sunoco and Farmer’s Feed Service held a dance Saturday evening at Camelot Hall in North Webster. —o— NEW ADDRESS for Leonard Barnhart is Ridgedale Nursing Home, Ironwood and Ridgedale Rd., South Bend, Ind., 46614. Car stolen Steve Bartow, r 4 box 100, Syracuse, reported to Syracuse police Monday that his 1975 Olds Delta 88 was stolen from his drive. The auto was recovered in the Backwater area early Tuesday morning.

street is nearing completion. The building is being stuccoed and 0 finished in a very fine manner and this with the new residence of E. E. Stoller, is making a great change in the appearance of the street. James McKibbin of West Emeline street, erected a sale barn last spring and always has on hand from six to a dozen fine horses. Persons passing that way who are lovers of fine horses, should step into his barn and look them over. He now has 12 on hand and is waiting for a car to ship them to the horse market at Boston. Mr. McKibbin is a lover of this kind of stock and when not on the road may be found in his barn, grooming and caring for the horses.
