(Continued on page 5) But, with dedication to the project displayed by Smith and Butler, the community can be assured that the sign will go back up. The NIPSCO employee was off duty at the time of the accident, entering the cemetery to place flowers on his mother’s grave. The bucket truck he was driving entered too high to get under the sign safely. —o— RESIDENTS OF Lake Wawasee are becoming keenly aware of vandals at work, particularly since the ad appeared in this paper a week ago of the flags stolen from the pier of John and Mary Kiely, whose home is on Waco Drive, just back of the Sleepy Owl. The Kielys paid tribute to the international Olympic games, now in progress at Los Angeles, with their West German, Southern Ireland and English flags appearing along with Old Glory on their pier 627. A week ago the foreign flags disappeared, but the American flag stood intact. Kiely said the West German flag has horizontal stripes with black on top, then red and yellow; the Southern Ireland flag is of vertical stripes, green, followed by white and orange. The English Union Jack is red, white and blue. He said his children, who come to the lake on week ends with their families and friends, purchased the foreign flags in Indianapolis for S3O each, and that they ordinarily took the nylon flags in at night to protect them from the weather. But the one night they left them out, they came up missing. Kiely said he didn't expect an ad in The Mail-Journal to turn up the flags, but that it might alert residents that vandals are at work.

He also noted that his neighbors, Dave and Barbara Gephardt of Pier 634, had their I.U. flag and a “party flag” missing at about the same time. Both couples are residents of Anderson. -oLESTER C. Leman, former Bremen/Lake Wawasee resident who died at Sunnyside, Wash., on July 10, was a member of the Bremen family long associated with peppermint production in that area. His list of accomplishments is long and impressive, ail of which have been duly reported in his obituary notice in the July 18th issue of The Something not known generally about Les is that he was a Democratic candidate for the state legislature in the fall of 1956, and his opponent was a Bremen physician by the name of Otis R. Bowen. Bowen was previously elected Marshall County coroner and was better known to Marshall County voters than was Leman. But as much as anything, 1956 was the year Dwight D. Eisenhower ran for re-election, running for the second time against former Illinois Governor Adlai E. Stevenson. It was a Republican year (if there is such a thing as a Republican or Democratic year), and so many people wore “I like Ike” buttons. Anyway, Dr. Bowen defeated Leman and went on to become speaker of the Indiana House of Representatives, ran for the gubernatorial nomination, lost, then ran again and won. He won the governor’s chair that year — 1972 — and was re-elected in 1976, the first Hoosier governor to succeed himself and complete two consecutive terms. Prior to that, Indiana statute prohibited a governor from succeeding himself.

Letter. to the editor Respecting the property of others Dear Editor: I live in town and cannot believe the things that people do. I always have to clean out my bushes because of all the paper, food containers and beer cans. Some of the things blow over from a nearby factory and some from people who just drive by and pitch it. I can clean it one day and the next day there will be more junk. Today I found two broken pop bottles at the*beginning of our driveway. I went out and picked that up. Saturday morning I found a baby kitten on my porch and I know it couldn’t have gotten on there by itself. I just wish people would stop just dumping things that they do not want wherever they feel like it. Please let's keep Syracuse a clean town and help others by not messing up their lawns. Name withheld by request .09 rate set for Lake Twp. Lake Township Trustee Paul Rife and members of his advisory boaid have set a .09 levy for 1985. The levy will raise $6,658 in the township fund. A public hearing has been set for August 21 and the budget is slated to be adopted on August 28. Democrats and deficit House Democratic leaders agreed to a $lB5 billion deficit reduction package, including a “pay-as-you-go plan that would generally impose limits on domestic s and military spending and call for increased taxes to finance outlays above those limits.

At Large. . .il || “A view of the local 11 11 scene in Kosciusko County” 11 THE LAKE City Bank of Warsaw, with seven branches in Kosciusko County, was the second Hoosier bank to “make history” in that it was permitted under the Indiana Troubled Institution s Act passed in 1983 to acquire a bank outside the county. On Friday it was announced by Ruth H. Harrison, director of the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions, that Lake City was permitted to buy the troubled Roann State Exchange Bank in Wabash County. The purchase was allowed only after other Wabash County banks refused to step in and purchase the Roann bank. Purchase price: $438,750, or $195 per share for the bank. State Exchange shareholders will receive $25 for each share they hold, plus a capital note of $l7O, due in 1991. This points to the long ongoing battle among Indiana independent banks and the large banking institutions to “break open” banking in Hoosierland. Governor Robert Orr and Lt. Governor Mutz threw the weight of their offices behind a bill before the recent session of the General Assembly to open banking up and allow banks to buy or open banks outside their home counties. '■ S ' One would think their considerable prestige would be enough to see the bill through the legislature, but the two heads of state did not reckon with the influence independent banks held with State Representative Thames Mauzy of Warsaw. Rep. Mauzy. a friend of the independents, was dead-set against the cross-country banking bill, and he made it known. During the debate, he met Gov. Orr in the halls (rs the state house, and was asked by Orr, “I would like your support on this one, Thames.” “I can’t go along with you on this one. Governor," Rep. Mauzy was reported to have told the governor. “In fact,” he added, “I have the votes right here in my pocket to defeat it.” And the votes he had, for the bill went down in defeat. The bill will almost certainly be brought up again for consideration, such is the pressure of major banks in Indiana to enlarge their financial influence throughout the state.
