Peter Pan flies through the air with greatest of ease

By BILL SPURGEON i Guest Writer Peter Pan, in the musical play of which he is the central character, is flying through the air with the greatest of ease these evenings at Wawasee’s Enchanted Hills Playhouse. And he has company. The play, which opened last week and continues through this Sunday night, had a disappointingly small audience when this reviewer took it in Sunday night. It deserves better. But blame the Olympics, not the quality of what they are doing at the barn theatre over at the east end of the lake. The seats should be filled this week, and if you miss out, well, it’s your loss. Timothy Mathis is Peter Pan at EHP, and this experienced young actor gives the part just the right combination of pizzazz and poignancy. And he does fly with ease, to the extent that you sit there and wonder how a fellow suspended from the stagehouse by guywires and a harness has time, or even the notion, to act and sing in the process. This young man is a real pro and he does equally well when his feet are on the stage, too. Grace Aiello, like Mathis a member of Actors Equity, is a winning, winsome Wendy Darltng, who soars off to Neverland with Peter, taking her younger ' brothers along as well. This reviewer has usually

duleimer, a musical instrument that was the forerunner to the piano. This was Souers first year to participate in the competition. Anita Giltner, White Pigeon, Mich., won the Best of Marketplace booth presentation for her booth of wrea“ ,c ind baskets. Other winners in the seven divisions included the following: Ceramics — Jonathon Washington, Lansing, Mich., ceramic baskets, first; Scott Souers, Fort Wayne, blue bowl, second; Stone Family Guild, Corunna, bowl, third; and Ann Carroll, Mishawaka, wisteria, honorable mention. Crafts — Sally Korte, Kettering, Ohio, love seat, first; Jefferey Daw, Indianapolis, chaise lounge, second; Kenneth West, Woodstock, Ind., grace circle, third; and David Vogie, St. Joseph. Mich., duleimer, honorable mention. Graphics — Philip Thompson, Madison, Wis., “The City,” first; Chris Sezemore, Highland. Ind., windows, second; Elizabeth James, South Bend, intglio collage, third and Mark Choinacky,

related best to big and brawny men as Captain Hook, but lean and sinewy Darryl Maximilian Robinson, EHP’s man of all roles this year, leaves nothing to be desired in his portrayal, and like Mathis and Miss Aiello, relates well to an audience that ranges from tiny kids to their great-grandparents. “Peter Pan” is fun. The action moves quickly, despite a staging arrangement that requires three separate sets. Backing up Miss Aiello, Mathis and Robinson is an excellent supporting cast, including Chad Borden and Kim Lawson as the other Darling children, Elizabeth Lee Taylor and Stephen Monroe as the parents, Mark Korres as Nana and others from within the troupe and outside it as Indians, Pirates and Wendy’s and Peter’s “children.” The dancing is good; the flying is credible; two 15-minute intermissions are well-utilized to shift the scene from a stylish children’s nursery in the Darling house to a well-designed Neverland to the deck of Capt. Hook's ship and then finally back to the Nursery. The lighting is good, accounting for a fine performance by Tinker Bell in the process, and so is the music, which also contributes to Tinker’s success and the overall good momentum of the entire show. Sunday night’s crowd was probably 40 percent youngsters, some of whom were seen at intermission trying to imitate Peter and take to the air. It’s a show that’s good for all the family, and director Jeffrey Koep has managed it well; from first to final curtain it’s less than 150 minutes. Alan Chambers’s orchestra plays well; the rigging for the aerial work done by technical director Jaye Beetem and costumer Jayne Jaynes works flawlessly, and the result is good, diverting theatre of a type ideally suited to a summer audience "Peter Pan” is EHP’s musical Muskie program explained to Kiwanis Club Jed Pearson, fisheries biologist for the Department of Natural Resources for Northeast Indiana, described the muskie stocking program in Lake Webster to the Lakeland Kiwanis Club in North Webster on Monday, Aug. 6 Pearson pointed out that Lake Webster is the only Indiana lake in which muskies have been released. A 40-inch, 12-pound muskie, which probably came from the 1981 release, was caught in Lake Webster in July. The legal limit for muskies is 30 inches. There have been a few’ other catches over this limit during the summer. The DNR pains to release an additional 3,000 muskies in Lake Webster this fall. The department will take a net sampling of the lake this September to check the effect of the stocking program. The sampling will also update the count of other types of fish in the lake, such as bass, crappie and bluegill. Pearson also described a current DNR project in Sylvan Lake near Rome City. This lake has been overrun with carp, suckers and other rough fish, so that bass, crappie and bluegill fishing is poor compared to previous years. The department plans to use a chemical fish kill. Then, four weeks after the rough fish have been eradicated, they will restock the lake with desirable fish.

South Bend, team of horses, honorable mention. Jewelry — John Doss, Crossville, Ind., silver necklace, first; John Mroczek, Mishawaka, fresh water pearl, second; Robert Lutes, Nappanee, bone handled knives, third and John Mroczek, Mishawaka, lapis ring, honorable mention. Paintings — Louise Hatch, South Bend, window shopping, first; Theresa Morris, Bloomington, Swedish ivy, second; - Charles Sezemore, Highland, Ind., untitled, third and Delores Bradshaw, Bristol, cow gathering, honorable mention. Sculpture — Dick Lehman, Goshen, rocker, first; Jonathan Washington, Lansing, Mich., candleabra, second; Sue Miller and Cathy Coquillard, South Bend, Amish Couple, third and Margaret Weaver, LaPorte, decoy man, honorable mention. Textiles — Jon Young, Chapel Mill, N.C., woven rug, first; Sally Korte, Kettering, Ohio, stenciled rug, second; Karyn Johnsen, Las Vegas, Nev., stole and skirt, third and Kathryn Rowe, Auburn Hills, Mich., bedspread, honorable mention.

finale this year; it will be followed by a one-week run of the drama “The- Diary of Anne Frank.” Regular theatregoers at EHP will want to see how the substance of this show is tackled by this year’s talented troupe. It’s moving theatre, too, and worth the effort to take it in. “Peter Pan” continues through Sunday, with curtains tonight, Thursday and Friday at 8, Saturday at 8:30, and Sunday at 7:30. “Anne Frank” opens August 22 for its one-week run, and then it’s all over until next June. Fishing Report Bluegill fishing improved lately at Spear Lake and Shock Lake on the Tri-County Fish and Wildlife Area, north of North Webster on SR 13. Contrary to what some fishermen believe, the Department of Natural Resources has not removed bluegills from these lakes and plenty of bluegills are present. Bluegills are also being taken at Adams Lake in LaGrange County. They are concentrated at the center of the lake in 5 feet of water. Several walleye have been caught recently on white jigs at Snow and James Lakes in Steuben County, weighing l*£-2 pounds. Hunting seminars announced A series of public seminars exploring safe and proper hunting techniques for mourning doves and other games species will be held Aug. 25, according to Edward Hansen, director of the Division of Fish and Wildlife. The hunting seminars will be conducted by DNR personnel and include topics such as hunting rules and regulations, dove hunting techniques and ethics. In addition, field trips will be conducted. The seminars will be held at 9 a m. at the following locations: Willow Slough, Tri-County, Atterbury. Glendale, and Crosley Fish and Wildlife areas as well as Brookville and Mississinewa Resevoirs. The programs at the fish and wildlife areas will be held at each area's headquarters, while Brookville’s program will take place at the visitor’s center, located five miles north of the lake on SR 101. Mississinewa’s program will be held at the lake’s office, Miami State Recreation Area. “I strongly urge all interested sportsmen to attend these seminars,” said Hansen. “The are free and will prove beneficial to all family members.” For more information on the hunting seminars contact the Division of Fish and Wildlife, 607 State Office Building, Ind., 46204. Signs farm bill President Reagan signed into law a bill intended to cut budget deficits and crop surpluses. Administration economists estimate the subsidy freeze will cut $3.2 billion from the federal deficit over four years. Bid offered Alleghany Corp., a New York based holding company that once owned a large share of the bankrupt Penn Central Railroad, offered to buy Conrail for $1 billion in cash and other conideations.
