RECEIVE COMMODORE’S TROPHY — Members of the List family and friends are shown proudly receiving the Commodore’s Trophy, the highest honor, following the Sunday Flotilla on Lake Wawasee, from this year’s commodore Theldon <“Bud”) Kline. With the traveling trophy goes a check for 1500.

Heat, wind notwithstanding —

'Good Show', this year's Flotilla

By ARCH BAUMGARTNER So entries in this year’s Fourth of July Flotilla on Lake Wawasee were down slightly. So Sunday, the day of the big event, was one of the hottest on record. And so threatening high winds caused entries to batten down the hatches and secure the mast. All this and more was true, and yet the Flotilla drew a respectable number of entries, most of them as colorful as ever, plus a flotilla of private craft that huddled around the main contingent of entries who were competing in several categories for trophies and cash prizes, like a flock of young ducks around their mother. The Flotilla Committee was ecstatic with the results of the event, as attest by the exuberance with which committee member Bill Beemer announced the winners at the end of the long pier front of the Southeast Bay Marina. The Flotilla got underway just moments after 1 p.m. Sunday (Continued on page 2)

WEDNESDAY, JULY 6,1983

Threaten Fourth week end

Three storms batter the lakes area Friday

Three storms hit the Lakeland area,in less than 24 hours last week end. The first hit around H:3O a m. Friday and brought more damage than the later two which hit around 7 p.m. Friday and3:3oa.m. Saturday. Residents in Syracuse notified the town’s street department of fallen trees and limbs. Joe Dock, utilities supervisor, called the civil defense for assistance in clearing the debris from town where trees were reported down on West Main, Harrison, Lake and North Huntington Streets. A large limb took down electrical, telephone and cable television lines on Baltimore Street while a resident at 624 North Huntington Street reported a limb fell on a van roof. Dick Waterson, a member of the Syracuse-Wawasee Lake patrol, reported the wind picked up a boat and boat-lift and placed them on the pier at the home of John Cripe, Ogden Island. Chip Edwards reported the wind picked up a boat-lift at his residence and placed it on the pier also. There were several reports of boaters in trouble when the storm hit, however, no one was injured. Steve and Pat Bartow vainly tried to repair the roof on their apartment building, only to have the work destroyed during the evening storms. High winds took off one-half of the roof at the apartments on CR 530E where Jane Hansey and Tonya Swihart reside. A car owned by Tonya Swihart was severely damaged by the roof debris. Syracuse wasn’t the only area hit as residents in the entire Lakeland area spent time during the holiday week end cleaning limbs and other debris from their properties. Misses Haase Donal Rumfelt’s home on the Syracuse-Milford Road barely missed being hit by several large trees and limbs winch were felled by strong winds. A wire fence surrounding the home was
