Unique house resembles cave
By LESLIE WHITMAN Situated underneath a hill near North Webster is a structure prehistoric man might have called a cave. Even though this structure resembles a cave, today is called a house. The first underground house in the area is being constructed by the G. W. Stalters off of CR 450 N. The house, w-hich boasts of two windows, has been under construction since June. Mary Stalter calls this house her “dream house.” She is hoping she and husband can take up residence in a few weeks. But, why this type of house? Mrs. Stalter comments, “The fact that the terrain lent itself to that type of house. When completed, it will blend into the terrain better than any regular house would.” The land on which the house sits is part of the Stalters’ 120acre farm. The family is keeping 20 acres. “This has just been sort of a playground for the kids. We looked around the area and liked our own little spot down here better.” The area surrounding the house would please any nature lover. A stream runs in front with wild rice growing. In the distance, a small woods of oak and maple abound. A grove of pine trees the family planted sits off to the right. As little as possible has been disturbed during construction. Mrs. Stalter said, “I want to keep it as natural as possible.” A gravel drive will be the only entry into the valley where the house sits. Own Design The design of the house was made by the Stalters themselves. Miller and Son, architects, drew up the actual blueprints. The layout of the house includes a main living- dining and kitchen area, one bedroom, bath, utility room, entryway and garage. The house is many-sided. Cement was the main material used during construction. Prestressed beams many inches thick hold up the house while a heavy cement roof stands on top. Gray cement adorns the outside
"Godspell" is different production for Wawasee
By SCOTT WILSON When students and adults alike walk through the doors of the Wawasee High School auditorium to see “Godspell” November 10 and 11, they will probably be a little surprised. The production this year is an upbeat musical and is different from other musicals Wawasee has performed in the past. The fact the play is a musical is something new for a fall production. This concept is something that will only be tried this fall. Next year the schedule will revert back to a fall drama and spring musical. The chorus for “Godspell” is
Businesses join in Halloween fun Tuesday
Several local businesses joined in the fun to show Halloween is not just for children, as they too participated with costumes and contests. Employees of the State Bank of Syracuse treated their customers with apple cider and doughnuts Tuesday at both the main office and the bank branches. The sealed envelope, containing names of the winners of the employee pumpkin decorating contest, was opened Tuesday and Barbara Griffith and Gerry Byland won their choice of a personal day off work or a dinner for two in the area. According to Jeanne Gardiner, bank employee, there was a good turnout at the activities and it helped to build morale and company spirit among employees.

to better blend in with the terrain. Does Mrs. Stalter worry about the hill caving in? She said. “Rain will probably be the main problem during the first two years. We’ll have to wait until it settles.” She added they are fortunate the hill is made of sand and gravel and not clay. She is also hoping trees atop the hill will shelter the house from any intense rain or snow. Mrs. Stalter said no major difficulties arose during building. Ventilating was put through the roof along with television and radio antennas. Regular paneling and carpeting was installed throughout the inside. Mrs. Stalter is hoping their fireplace will heat the house, but just on the safe side, electric heat has been installed. She said the house has been insulated well. One major thing, a ground cover, was put on the roof. Mrs. Stalter commented. “I don’t want

It was sort of an experiment all the way around. ” Husband’s Reactions How does her husband feel about the new house? “He’s a little more excited about it than I am,” Mrs Stalter said, "He’s interested in more things than medicine. A craftsman involved in work.” Neither helped in the actual construction of the house. As far as total cost. Mrs. Stalter feels it should run about the same for a conventional, frame house. “The roof was the major expense. ” Does she feel other people will build these type of houses?
