Fishing Report Last week’s sunny weather slowed bluegill fishing activity throughout Northeast Indiana. Reports are that many lakes which were producing well in early to mid-July have all but stopped giving up bluegills now. Bear Lake in Noble County, however, continues to provide good bluegill fishing and some largemouth bass fishing. Lar gem ou th bass are also being caught from Bixler Lake at Kendallville, mostly during early morning hours before the sun gets hot. Fishing Question What is a thermocline? Each summer. Northeast Indiana lakes develop three distinct layers of water, each having different temperatures. The top warmwater layer is called the epilimnion and the bottom coldwater layer is called the hypolimnion. Between these two layers is the thermocline, where water temperatures drop sharply. The temperature may drop as much as six degrees for every two feet of water. Fish are seldom found at the bottom of the thermocline but often concentrate at the top of the thermocline.
Skiing important part of Tully family
The license plates showed the widespread popularity of the sport. Cars, vans and RVs from Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois and Indiana filled nearly every corner of the Camelot Lake parking area on the first weekend of August. The attraction was waterskiing — more specifically, the Midwest Regional tournament, in which over 370 top skiers competed. For the Bill and Barbara Tully family of Syracuse, it was another weekend of skiing, meeting other skiers, and another chance to compete — things that have become important parts of their lives during the summer months. "We travel to competitions basically every week from the beginning of June to the middle of September,” said Barbara. “Tournaments are all over Michigan, Ohio — however far you want to travel on a weekend.” While Barbara talked, she helped her youngest daughter, Jane, replace her jumping equipment — padded pants, gloves and helmet — which had been left on the spotting boat moments before she was scheduled to jump. Along with planning tournaments, registering skiers and occasionally worrying, last-minute frenzies are part of the job of a skiing-parent. As Jane approached the ramp at 30 mph for the first of her three jumps, Barbara said that she and Bill are not overly-concerned about their children’s safety during competition. “Since we have both competed and jumped we don’t worry too much. They’ve all been skiing a long time.” Almost every member of the Tully family is involved in skiing
Sobering advice can save a life
ByDEEJAYNES Staff Writer Every 20 minutes in America a drunk driver is responsible for a death, and drunk driving accidents cause injuries to more than 2,000 people each day. In Indiana alone, 24 persons are killed or injured by drunk drivers every day. It is estimated that one out of every two Americans will be affected by an alcohol-related accident in their lifetime. These are just a few of the staggering statistics presented in a booklet entitled “Alcohol and Driving, A Crash Course.” The booklet, published by the Governor’s Task Force To Reduce Drunk Driving, was mailed to parents of teenagers and offers a quiz on the effects of alcohol on the body and gives an opening for a frank discussion of alcohol and driving between teenagers and their parents. According to the Task Force, on the average weekend night, the time that most teenagers are on the highways, one out of every 10 cars has a drunk driver behind the wheel. Nearly half of these drivers are between the ages of 16 and 24. Since drunk driving is the number one killer of young people, the Task Force is gearing its efforts to reach this segment of the population by supplying information on the growing problem to local schools, businesses and community groups. Students are becoming increasingly involved in this epidemic by forming chapters of Students Against Drunk Drivers, or SADD. Such a group was formed last year at Wawasee High School and interest has been expressed in a chapter at Warsaw Community High School this year. A true or false quiz testing the alcohol awareness of the teenager and his parents is included in the literature mailed by the Governor’s Task Force. The booklet attempts to eradicate the age old myths surrounding the use of alcohol and driving and presents a common sense approach to dealing with the problem. One of the common misconceptions listed is the belief among teenagers, and many adults, that beer is less intoxicating than wine or hard liquor. According to the booklet, the truth is that one beer is just as intoxicating as an ounce and a half of hard liquor or a standard glass of wine. Another myth dispelled by the booklet is that eating a full meal before drinking will keep a person from becoming drunk. According to medical authorities, a full meal will increase the amount of time it takes to become drunk, but will not dilute the effects of the alcohol
at a competetive level. Bill competes in the veteran men’s division; Jamie, 23, in the men’s I division; Jill, 20, in the women s I division; Jane, 17, in the girls’ division; and Jem, 13, in the boys’ division. In any given competition, at least one of the members, often more, gives the family something to celebrate. The younger Tullys have had expert instruction in their sport since early ages. Bill and Barbara both began skiing while they were high schools students summering on Lake Wawasee. Both became accomplished enough to win Indiana State championships, several years in a row, during the early 19505. The children have benefited from their parents’ skills. All of the children began skiing when they were 7 or 8, and competing when they were 9 or 10. As they got older, they developed preferences for certain events. Jane and Jill like the jumping and trick events and Jamie prefers slalom. Since this is Jon’s first summer of serious competition he hasn’t yet concentrated on a specialty. As with any sport, proficiency in water-skiing doesn’t come easy. Barbara says Jill, Jane and Jon ski between three and four hours a day, six days a week, going through a practice routine that includes all the competition events. Fridays are reserved for rest and recouperation for the coming competition. With another summer of weekend tournaments to their credit, the Tully family will head for the national competition in Zachery, La., Sept. 15-18. Although it will be a busy time of preapration and concentration, Barbara said they hope to make timefor the World’s Fair.
The underlying message throughout the booklet and the accompanying letter from Stephen Goldsmith, Task Force Chairman, is communication. Parents are encouraged to open the lines of communication with their teenagers and to enter into open, frank discussions of drinking and driving. Goldsmith urges parents to assure their children that they can be relied to provide transportation in the event the friend they rode with has been drinking. He asks “Would your teenager risk riding home with a friend who has been drinking rather than call you? The answer could be fatal.” Parents are advised to keep the discussion on an “adult level.” Each participant in the discus sion portion of the course should have the opportunity to express an opinion. “Remember to be honest and to listen,” advises Goldsmith. An important point to remember is that this is intended to be a discussion, not a lecture. Also included with the booklet are two bumper stickers. The first, for use on the car driven most frequently by the teenager of the family, reads “I Drive Straight.” In addition to proclaiming the teenager’s intention to avoid drinking and driving, the sticker alerts other teenagers to a potential ride home in the event they have had too much to drink. The other bumper sticker is intended for the family car. “We Drive Straight” shows the parents' determination to practice what they preach. It is this example that Goldsmith and the other members of Governor Orr’s Task Force Against Drunk Driving say is the most important aspect of the campaign to rid Indiana’s highways of the drunk driver. Persons interested in learning more about the problem of alcohol and driving, or wishing to obtain copies of the booklet “Alcohol and Driving, A Crash Course,” can write to the Governor’s Task Force To Reduce Drunk Driving, 219 N.

Stone's Festival on September 8-9
The smell of wood smoke from open fires, apple fritters, Indiana fry bread, ham and baked beans cooking in large iron kettles, and pork burgers sizzling over charcoal; the sight of crafts and people dressed in costumes of the 1840 s, and the sound of dulcimer, fiddle and banjo music, will all help create the atmosphere of the 11th annual Stone’s Trace Pioneer Crafts Festival, Sept. 8 and 9. Visitors to this year’s festival will step back into history as they watch 60 craftsmen demonstrating trades and crafts the pioneers used to produce the necessities and the few luxuries in their lives. They may talk with Pauline Stanton of Ligonier, who will be making apple head dolls; watch Nita Noble of Mishawaka do oil paintings on glass; or listen to John Volk of Gary who will explain the art of being a metalsmith. Susan Binkley of Valparaiso will be demonstrating glass etching. George Hammes of Evanstem 111., will be showing the art of making stained glass, and his wife, Nancy, will explain the use of herbs.

As visitors enter the tavern they will notice changes in the furnishing of the barroom and ladies’ parlor. Members of the historical society have done much research and are trying to furnish the tavern as it was in the 1840 s. Members of the Stone’s Trace Regulators, a black powder gun club, will be having their annual rendevous, coinciding with the festival. They will have a “tipi village” and "blanket traders” in the range area where items may
