"CRUZIN AROUND 'CUSE"

(Continued from page 4) Syracuse community; another is a boost in club membership. THE SYRACUSE community is becoming noted for its artists’ colony, and it is unusual for a community of our size. Right now. for instance, there is a display in the Syracuse Public Library with 17 local artiste represented, and at mid-week they were planning • to change their display completely. Drop around, take a look at the handiwork of this group. It’s all free and well worth your time. More than that, they are planning their art sbow/sale, to be held from 1® a.m. until 8 p.m. on Saturday. Aug. 21. at the Lakeland Youth Center. We like their loose, disjointed commaradorie: “We have no officers, no meetings, no dues,’’ said one artist this week. Who are these people? Let us list them: Marilyn Moore, Jean Miller. Ginnie Kramer, Mary Bushong. Betty Appenreller, Betty Deahl. Ken Harkless. Sara Robbins. Jackie Juilema. Lucille Peffley. Theda Cutter. Sylvia and Tom Duncan. Rick Lemberg.

We thought we'd ask Dick Winebrenner, county-highway engineer, about the road, and found he defended the hot mix (or pugmill mix) as applied on East Shore Drive. He said the county has 1,200 miles of roads, 1.100 of them asphalt. A regular hot mix per mile runs.about $36,000. he

Winebrenner said Kosciusko County receives $1,500 per mile per year to maintain its highway department, including salaries, road repair, all that, and that he finds cold mix the cheapest and best route to follow. In the case of the .8 mile of East Shore Drive, Winebrenner noted, it rained two or three times following the cold mix application, and that, plus constantly heavy traffic, has not allowed the road to “cure” properly. “It (the road) has to be rolled several times more,** he said, but allowed that the cold mix would outlive the hot mix application.

The July 9 meeting at the Holiday Inn in Warsaw began at 9 am and discussed matters limited to land, water and minerals, excluding coal, in Indiana. Specifically, Senator Augsburger stated that the committee studied the feasibility of granting life-time licenses to hunt and fish in Indiana and the possibility of imposing a yearly license to hunt raccoon in Indiana. Augsburger further added the committee discussed the possibility of legislation which would impose a series of fees relating to land and water activities in Indiana where there is presently no fee charged The

revenue generated from these proposed fees would be used for the further development of soil and water conservation in Indiana . as well as the development of other natural resources. Augsburger noted a third meeting of the Natural Resources Advisory Committee has been scheduled in, Indianapolis on August 20 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Indiana State Museum. The Local Government Issues Study Committee, also chaired by Senator Augsburger, will meet on July 22 in Portage beginning at 10 a.m. The committee will continue to study certain issues concerning local government, including annexation procedures and the merging of police and fire departments. This committee is also tentatively scheduled to meet in Indianapolis at the state house on August 19. The Governor’s Water Rights Study Commission, of which Augsburger is a member, is also holding monthly meetings. Augsburger emphasized that the above meetings are open to the public and all interested persons are welcome to attend and provide testimony.

Driveway replacement, repair tips offered

The summer is a good time to make needed repairs to driveways, or to install a new driveway if necessary. The National Asphalt Pavement Association and the Asphalt Pavement Association of Indiana, Inc., have offered a number of tips on driveway care. Homeowners interested in installing a new driveway should insist on a written contract with materials and thickness specified by the contractor.

■ Open Door Weekly Report From Senator John B. Augsburger

State Senator John B. Augsburger (R-Syracuse) will voluntarily accept the old state reimbursed mileage rate of 22 cents per mile in an attempt to help the state save money in the new fiscal year. According to Augsburger, a new law was enacted earlier this year, uppi g the mileage rate paid for official state business to state employees and state legislators from 22 to 24 cents per mile. “While the law governing state employees gives the state budget director the authority to suspend this rate for state employees, there is no such provision for members of the legislative branch. Consequently, state legislators must therefore ‘voluntarily’ accept the lower mileage rate. I have thus indicated to the appropriate legislative authorities that 1 would accept the old rate, and I hope all 149 of my colleagues do the same,” he said. Augsburger said that if all of the 150 legislators decided to take the lower rate, an estimated $5,000 to $7,000 in savings would ensue. “While this is only a small amount, it does indicate that we 3 from Syracuse in accidents Three Syracuse residents were involved in accidents recently: Kevin J. Plank, 19, r 2 Syracuse, was unhurt when a car be was driving collided with an automobile driyen by Evelyn M. Kauffman, 55, 1506 College Ave., Goshen, on Elkhart CR 40 west of US 33 recently. She was attempting to make a left turn as the Syracuse driver was attempting to pass. Two cars collided recently as they were traveling north on SR 13 near Waco Drive south of Syracuse. A car driven by Allan S. Abrams, 24, r 3 Syracuse, attempted to pass a car driven by Jean T. Davis, 44, r 3 Syracuse, on the left side. The Abrams’ vehicle struck the Jean Davis auto broadside causing $2,000 damage to the woman’s car and $1,500 to the Abrams* auto. She was treated and released at Goshen Hospital for a concussion. Two thefts reported Police have investigated two thefts recently in the Lakeland community. Rev. Neil Anderson, Battleground, repdkled the the theft of a gas can with hoses valued at S9O from a boat at his cottage in Epworth Forest, North Webster. Terry Downbour, Indianapolis, reported that SIOO was taken from his truck between 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Sunday as it was parked at the Marie Coblentz residence on Barbee Lake.

The would-be customer should examine the contractor's equipment to see if it appears to be adequate to do the job promised. Contractors soliciting jobs in a neighborhood should be viewed with caution, as they will have materials left from a previous job. A contractor who is reluctant to ' give references should not be hired. Bargains are not always what they seem. The lowest bid is not

in the legislature are cognizant of the budget difficulties the state is facing, and that we will attempt to cut corners wherever we can.” The state lawmaker noted that over the last three years, the state senate has consolidated several staff positions, and has merged several interim operations with the Indiana House in an attempt to cut spending. “During the last biennium, the senate was able to turn back to the state’s general fund over SIOO,OOO in unused funds from its budget,” he said. “These savings were due to the above consolidations and represent an on-going program of cost cutting in the legislature.”

Letters to the editor

Disabled friends

Dear Editor: Handicapped. You hear it all the time. It might mean you don’t play a very good game of golf. Then again iti might mean you have a disadvantage. Some people’s handicaps are obvious, like not being able to hear what is being said, or being confined to a wheelchair, or being alone, or not being able to see. Other people’s handicaps are not so obvious, like not having compassion, not having the time to help a fellow human, or being afraid or embarassed to communicate with a handicapped person. I have watched some beautiful people suffer for years. I have decided these people’s “friends” are more disabled than they will

Construction to begin soon

Dear Editor: , A great big thank you is in order to this community for its generous support of the Lakeland Daycare building project. At the end of April the 'center was grateful to be awarded a matching capital grant from the United Way of Kosciusko County of $37,500. The matching funds were to be raised by July 1,1982. Because of the splendid response of industry, business, churches, clubs, and individual donors the building fund campaign has more than met that goal with monies collected and pledged amounts. Building construction should be. underway soon. Contributions are still needed to provide furnishings for the building and playground equipment for the children. The board members of the Lakeland Daycare Center have worked hard to achieve their

always the best. Hot-mix asphalt, a mixture of aggregate and liquid asphalt cement mixed together, is the best material for new driveways. It allows for fast installation, easy maintenance and durability. The recommended approximate base is four inches, and results will be best if the asphalt is laid from the subgrade up. rather than over a stone base. A damaged driveway can often be repaired to an almost new condition. Holes and trouble spots should be patched before putting on an overlay. The suggested depth of the overlay is two inches. One summer after a driveway has been overlayed or installed, it is of ten wise to seal it with a high* grade commercial bituminous water emulsion sealer. Coal-tar type sealers will provide against oil and gasoline spills. If a driveway is on a steep slope, a sealer containing “sharp sand" will add traction when the surface is wet. Once a driveway is sealed, it should never need to be sealed again. Regular sealers should not be confused with “seal coat” or “slurry seal" winch produce a different surface than hot-mix asphalt

goal, and along the way they have been rewarded by the community’s courtesy and cooperation. Without that kind of response the campaign would have surely failed. We have had the honor of experiencing the real meaning of community. A community is one only in name unless it recognizes the needs and acts for the welfare of its citizens. Here the name is proudly worn, and I can have no more personal honor than to be counted as one of its citizens. Our best and most lasting gratitude can only be shown as we continue to offer quality care to the children whom we serve. Our pledge is that what we have received out of generosity will be returned in service. Thank you. Sincerely, Rev. David L. Hyndman Campaign fund Chairman

Favorable comments

Dear Editor: The Fourth of July fireworks held this year, sponsored by the Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce and the Syracuse Fire Department, has received many favorable comments. However, other comments made should be corrected. The fireworks committee will explain the program for all. The Chamber of Commerce conducted the fireworks for many years. The cost of the program literally drained the budget and the membership decided there were more important projects to be done in the community. In recent years the chamber has given S2OO towards the program. The fireworks committee has since worked in conjunction with the Flotilla Committee The other sponsor, the Syracuse Fire Department, is listed as a sponsor to enable the Fireworks Committee to add an insurance “rider” to the town’s liability policy which costs considerably less than the out right purchase of an individual policy. The present committee has conducted the Fireworks Program for several years. The fireworks committee was composed of Joe Todd and Richard Maresh. Conducting the program includes collecting the finances, purchasing the fireworks, buying insurance, buying a state fireworks permit, paying a “shooter,” arranging for delivery of the fireworks, procuring mortars, arranging for equipment for ground displays and coordinating the park committee, the police department and the civil defense to enable as smooth program as possible. The present committee has had outstanding cooperation from everyone — donors, civil committees and the Flotilla Committee. This year we added the “Boomer” to our program. Many stories came forth from the way the “Boomer” was financed and how great a shot it -was. We felt an explanation was in order. Rather than explain just one shot, we will explain the finances required for the entire program. Until this year the cost of the program: $1,500, fireworks; $l5O, “shooters;” sls, fireworks permit; SIOO, insurance; $25. postage. This year we added three boxes

of flairs (144 per box) and distributed two flairs to each property owner around Syracuse Lake. The flares were lit at the end of the fireworks to add to the color of the program. Also added this year was the “Boomer.” The committee could not justify spending $187.50 for just one shot. Normal shots will cost $5 for just a report (one “bang”) to S3B for a three color, two report shot. Gordon McCormick derived an enticing plan for 25 enthusiastic fireworks supporters to sponsor the “Boomer.” This plan was successfully conducted. The expense of the boomer was not paid for by our regular donors. Some of our regular donors participated in the plan, however. Add to last year’s expenses: $}87.50, for the boomer and $l6O for the flares. The total cost, $2,137.50 for the 1982 fireworks . program.
