218 artists and craftsmen at 20th Village Art Festival ,i

In spite of a schedule of entertainment to rival a three-ring circus and food concoctions in an array resembling a Turkish bazaar, the 218 artists and craftsmen at the 20th annual Village Art Festival at Amish Acres in Nappanee, August 12-15, will command center stage and the attention of the multitude of visitors to the four day spectacle. Organized in 12 foot by 15 foot patches of ground surrounding the historic farm’s pond, they will create overnight a marketplace of arts and crafts with each participant competing for both the onlooker's admiring glance and over $3,000 in cash prizes.

The roster of the accepted reads likes a course in midwestern hometown geography with a goodly number of carpetbaggers from across the country. It takes 12 months production from some artists to fill the four-day demand, while others, drawing inspiration from the visitors, create simpler pieces throughout the show. The task of selecting the winners falls to Terry Douglas Larkin, administrative assistant at the Snite Museum of Art, Notre Dame University. She will replace Lynda Halley, who is leaving the museum for a new position. Terry Douglas Larkin

has a master’s of fine arts degree and specializes in oil painting and lithography. The second judge is Noel Dusendschon, a professor of fine art in painting and design from Indiana University at Fort Wayne, whose master’s was earned from the University of Illinois in painting and print making. He is presently preparing a one man show to open in New York next year. Blue ribbons are familiar to many of the competitors. Marge Tiedemann of Mount Prospect, 111., won 1981 Best of Crafts in the Septemberfest in Schaumburg, 111., as did Geoffery and Linda Gavere at the Fiesta in the Park in their home town of Orlando, Fla. John Bauman, a wheel thrown potter from Warsaw, received the top honor award for over all presentation at the first annual King’s Island Art Show and Randall Alford of Elkhart was the National Scholastic Portfolio Gold Medalist. Teena Russell of North Manchester, an eight-year participant at Pletcher's Art Festival, was honored with Best of Show at the 1981 Michigan City Octoberfest. Several former purchase prize winners from the Village Art Festival will try again for the top prize including 1981 winners Steve Johnson of Elkhart, who is current president of the Elkhart Art League; and Don and Carol Damhorst of Pacific, Mo., whose wood creations appeared in both Saks Fifth Avenue Folio Collection and Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog. Others include Charles Sizemore of Highland, z Fred Carane of Woodbum /and Frtd Bartlett of Wapwallopen, Pa. Featured in the competition tent will be a gallery of past two dimensional winners covering the last 16 years of the show. Honors and distinctions in addition to ribbons are easy to find among the marketplace participants. Polly Henry of Signal Mountain, Tenn., who creates animals from man-made fur, has two originals in the Smithsonian Institute. Gerald Sanders of Nashville, Tenn., displays in 48 shows per year traveling 30,000 miles. He has created over 20,000 wire tree sculptures in his career.

Summer economy: a mixed-bag response

By GARY LEWIS Area merchants recently surveyed on the status of the economy in the Lakeland Community have given a mixedbag response. Some merchants, like Forrest Cole of Augsburger’s store in Syracuse and North Webster, say the traffic in and around the lake has picked up this summer. Others have noticed very little increase in the numbers around the lake. Cole believes people are staying home more this summer than in years past; consequently, business has been good. “We've had a terrific summer.” said Cole. "I don’t think the economy is as bad as everybody seems to think," he said. ‘‘People are not getting out and traveling. They are staying here for the summer and the yearround residents are on the increase,” he said All merchants surveyed — Cole, Jay Brouwer of Klink’s Market and Bob Marion of Ben Franklin — believe the Lakeland Community is becoming more static because of an increase in

Calendar of Indoor-Outdoor Art Fairs, and Marcia Blackman/of Colon, Mich., returns each year to participate in Nappanee, where she grew up. r As you would expect, some of the participants actively teach as well as practice their skills. First year participant Sue Peebles of Indianapolis teaches classes at the Indianapolis Children’s Museum and Rebecca Thornburg of Elkhart has written a manuscript on soft sculpture technique. Some of the craftsmen are involved from the raw products up. George and Nancy Hammes of Loda, 111., cultivate a large herb garden to supply the spices used for the sachets, wreaths and potpourri holders while Pat Long and Evie Putina of Camden, Mich., raise poultry and eggs for their scratch carving and hand painted eggs. For 15 of the 20 years of the Festival, the Frank Greco family of Warsaw has been, happily hooking rugs and wall hangings at the festival.

'The Music Man’ tops at Enchanted Hills

By BILL SPURGEON Personal commitments away from Syracuse kept this reviewer from attending any production of Meredith Willson’s ‘‘The Music Man’’ at Enchanted Hills Playhouse. It’s obvious that the loss was mine. Larry L. Shores, editor of The Muncie Star, reviewed the show last week for his newspaper, and he has given me permission to quote from his review. The play is one with which most theatergoers are familiar; it ran 4>i years on Broadway, was an immensely successful movie, and has been done on almost every high school, professional or semiprofessional and summer stock stage in the nation. Shores calls it “an important part of the nation’s musical theatre heritage" and notes it is unusual in that Willson, captured by the memories of his Mason City, lowa, childhood, did not only the music for the show but the lyrics and the book Our stand-in reviewer continues:

the number of year-round residents. This increase, says Cole, has resulted in more people around the lake. This view is not shared by Brouwer, though. “The season is getting shorter and shorter,” he said. In years past, there was a big difference between the summer and winter months, said Brouwer. There’s still a difference, but it is not as great of a difference. “‘lt was a lot different ball game 15-20 years ago/’ said Brouwer. ‘‘We get the same people year-after-year. There aren’t as many rentals ’as before,” he added. For Brouwer, the biggest difference about this summer is in the number of people visiting summer residents. “‘People still entertain on holidays,” said Brouwer, “but not all the time like they used to." He blames this lack of an increase on the economy. “A lot of people who own homes might have to stay at home and tend businesses. " he said. All area businesses face the same problem in the Lakeland area: a decline in sales when the fall and winter months roll around. Some businesses are affected more than others, of course. Marion does not see such a decline. "The only time it is slow is in January and February. After that, most of the year is a good steady business. "They say the economy is getting worse. I haven’t seen it that bad yet,” he said. The stores Cole supervises will not have such a big decline in business this year, he predicts. "We actually feel we will hold more of the business this year than in the past,” he said. "There are more and more people settling in the area. I think people are drifting away from the large cities,” he said. He feels this will result in a more healthy community. "Business is bolding its own in this area.” said Cole. He believes there is a strong possibility of an up-turn in the economy in this area.

to. A f ATTENTION ALL KIDS — "Little Red Riding Hood** is the fourth children’s production at Enchanted Hills Playhouse running Saturday, Aug. 7, at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The children's favorite will be directed by Tom Lamb, recent graduate of the University of Michigan and member of the EHP resident company. Featured in "Little Red Riding Hood" is Shelley Sanders as Red, Randy Colborn as the wolf, Bruce Paulsen as the fox, Chris W. Glenn as the rabbit. Ana Alvarez as Red's mother and Jane Neufelder as the bear. The Children's Theatre season will continue with "Hansel and Gretel" on August 14 with general seating on first-come, first-served basis.

“It’s the story of con man Harold Hill, who makes his living selling band instruments and then disappearing with the money before all of the instruments or promised lessons can be delivered. He decides to work his game in River City, lowa, but his ploy is uncovered by Marian Paroo, ‘Marian the Librarian.’ As expected, harmony reigns in the end but the cast has plenty to do along the way. “Real stars of this production are those in a large and competent supporting cast. Standouts are Myrona DeLaney as Marian’s mother, Bruce Paulsen as the bufoonish Mayor Shinn and Leta Kritzman and Mark Willis as the likeable couple whose romantic interests are forever being thwarted by the mayor. Kritzman doubles as choreographer, and her dances, while brief, are fun to watch. “Randy Colbom as Charlie Cowell, a travelling salesman who tries to alert River City denizens about con man Hill, is especially impressive in his brief appearance late in the play. Colborn, who is also stage manager at Enchanted Hills, might have been a good choice for the part of Hill, played here by Dan Lemonnier. "Lemonnier, who reminded this viewer of Broadway’s Joel Grey, tries hard but is a bit small in stature for a part that requires a more authoritative presence. His co-lead, Melodie Bucher, brings a fine singing voice to the part of Marian, but her acting talents need some fine-tuning. Always an interesting touch is the barbershop quartet which sings ‘Lida Rose’ and a couple of other numbers.

Tiger Muskellunge

Tiger muskie are ' hybrids resulting from a cross between female muskellunge and male northern pike. Their bodies are long and streamlined, light green on top to white on the belly. They have numerous dark greet? vertical stripes on their sides, I, hence the name tiger muskie. Tiger muskie are usually found \ near submerged weed beds in four to 12 feet of water. Those weed beds facilitate the feeding habits of tiger muskie. Their bodies are adapted for short swimming spurts, and they generally lie concealed in vegetation until dinner passes by. Tiger muskie prefer to eat long, cylindrical shaped fish such as minnows, suckers and yellow perch. These fish are easier for • the tiger muskie to swallow. When such fish are hard to find, tiger muskie will feed on smaller sunfishes. Tiger muskie do not occur naturally in Indiana waters, and populations are maintained entirely through stocking. They are stocked in selected lakes to provide fishermen with the chance to catch a trophy fish, with the minimum legal size set at 30 inches. They grow rapidly, and may reach legal size the third summer after stocking. Since tiger muskie are sterile and do not reproduce, populations can be easily controlled. To catch a tiger muskie, cast or
