THE BEST EVER — The Syracuse fireworks committee headed by John Kroh promised this year’s Fourth of July fireworks would be the best ever in the town of Syracuse and they proved just that. Comments from residents about the display this year were, “This was the finest we have seen for a long time.’* The crowd attendance seemed to be down according to a member of the Syracuse Police Department who said it took 12 minutes to clear the parking lot. However, it was noted by many that firework goers could be found parked akmg SR 13, US 4 and numerous streets around town. Interspersed through smaller displays were several large displays including two “Big Boomers** which were crowd pleasers. Numerous colors and designs were viewed, in the 14»-shell show which lasted approximately 45 minutes. (Photo by Bob List)

We were in the midst of a heavy thunderstorm and I’ve never seen her so upset by the weather. Seeing the cat so nervous gives this reporter a real case of the “jitters.” My sleepy eyed hubby joined the party, mumbling something about all the racket, and turned on the scanner. The power kept going off for a few seconds at a time. Finally, at 4:36 a.m. the cat was settled and purring, hubby had dozed off in his chair, it was still storming and voices of the dedicated dispatchers were keeping the scanner jumping. This annoyed reporter collapsed into bed thinking, ’’Next time the cat will have to take care of herself.” She did exactly that, at 6:30 a.m. she roused this reporter and announced, in no uncertain terms, that she wished to go outdoors. Os course her wish was quickly granted as she found herself booted out the back door and across the porch in a most undignified manner.
