and how they can keep their yards and gardens alive until they do come. Michael Dana, Purdue University horticulturist, says that mulching and deep watering can help your garden survive. If you haven’t already mulched the garden, consider doing so. Use light-colored mulch which reflects the sun’s rays and keeps the ground cooler, if possible. Grass clippings (if your lawn is still producing), straw, and newspapers are ideal. For best water utilization, thoroughly soak the bed before adding the mulch. One inch of water or more is advisable, depending upon how dry the bed is; says Dana. Use a soaker hose and let the water penetrate the soil deeply around the plants but don’t dampen the foliage. Don’t be too concerned about watering the lawn. Grasses, if they received good care and moisture during the spring and early summer are not under attack by root-feeding insects, can survive drought without undue damage. Lawn grasses go dormant during dry periods, says Dana. The grass may appear dead but will green again when water is sufficient. If you wish to keep your lawn green, however, water deeply so that grass roots don’t tend to grow near the soil surface. This only makes the plants more prone to damage during dry periods. Although watering during the evening hours will make the best use of water, if you do water he garden then, take special care to avoid wetting the foliage, Dana recommends. Wet foliage and hot, muggy weather are ideal for plant diseases. When plants are under stress they have difficulty resisting attack by diseases. Don’t be surprised to see some leaf diseases in your lawn grass if you water the lawn in the late evening. Garden vegetables vary in their response to prolonged, intense heat, but none benefit from 100 plus temperatures. You may find more sunscald and blossomed rot on tomatoes than usual. Some plants may stop producing because the flowers abort due to the temperature. Sweet corn which is too dry may not form ears. But there isn’t too much to be done. Just hope for a break in the temperature and keep watering.

Boat-in worship — a church without walls

The present boat-in worship was started in 1969 at Waco Beach with a coffee house youth program. After the coffee house fad went by the wayside, the service was relocated to Oakwood parte. This service is sponsored by the Syracuse Ministerial Association with five churches participating. Rev. Harlan Steffen, pastor of the Wawasee Lakeside Chapel, and one of the originators of the boat-in worship services, gave his view of the special services. “Finally there is a church without walls! A church without pews, without carpeting, without air conditioning and without hymn books Possibly boat-in worship is closer or more like the early Christian Church than we

ATTENDING CHURCH VIA BOAT — Many local residents and out of twon people use this means to go to church on Sunday morning. This is a view taken from the shorline.

Artists travel across states for festival

A record 264 artists and craftsmen from 157 cities in 15 states are part of the annual Pletcher Village Art Festival at Amish Acres in Nappanee, Thursday, Aug. 11, through Sunday, Aug. 14. Part of the artists and their crafts who are scheduled for the celebration include; the John Bohn family and their wooden trunks from Eureka, Missouri; a potter from Florence, Mississippi; Peter Goubeaud from Sewanee, Tennessee; Babette Overman and her cross stitch needlework from Fancy Gap, Virginia; Linda Olson with doll clothes from Muskegon, Michigan; and Nancy Olson, a jeweler from Schaumburg, Illinois. Newcomers to the festival include: a creator of inlaid wooden jewelry; a pipe maker who uses carving techniques learned in Europe; and a knife maker who uses stainless steel for blades and ivory and bufalo horn for handles. Most of the artists will be busy during the weekend making more of their products to sell. Kathy Coady, Trufant, Mich., will sew folded star quilt patches on a tredle sewing machine; Dennis Fitzgerald, Fort Wayne, will fashion weather vanes and lightening rods from a coal fired forge; Candice Flora, Granger, will hand carve replicas of 19th century carousel animals; -and Paul Cash, Monticello, will hand stitch brooms from a foot vise. Linda Crimson and David Blodgett will award two best of show purchases prizes, one in two-dimensional work and the

ever thought,” he noted. Boat-in worship utilizes and uses God’s greatest cathedrals — the outdoors. What an atmosphere and what a setting in which to worship the Creator. There is something very natural about the boat-in setting for worship. It is a “come as you are” service. It is a familiar setting for the lake community. The outside atmosphere, the flapping of the waves, the passing of a mother duck and her ducklings and the pet dogs on the boats are all unique to a worship service. There is something beautiful and good to be able to worship in this down to earth, everyday setting. Boat-in worship brings together a varied group of people from our community that

other in three-dimensional work, with other awards being presented in seven categories of creative work including: ceramics, graphics, jewelry, painting, sculpture, textiles and crafts. Cash prizes will be given for first, second and third places while ribbons will be awarded to honorable mention works.

ecumenical practice. It is a fact that it is easier for a “Laker” to find boat-in-worship at Oakwood park than it is to locate a church in the community. Boat-in worship is a natural way of introducing and acquainting lake people and new people in the community to the ministers

and the local churches. It is encouraging to see new faces from boat-in appear in area churches aftear Labor Day. In may not always be a part of wisdom to follow the crowd, but 106 families in their boats and 200 people on shore may well be on the right track.
