Fire causes $70,000 in damages

The home of Brenda Miller, Dewart Lake, sustained $70,000 damage in a fire Saturday, Dec. 7, at 12:10 p.m. Syracuse Fire Department, assisted by Milford Fire Department, were called to the scene by Mrs. Miller after hot ashes from a wood burner landed on carpet and caught fire. The Miller home, owned by

Sea of Galilee, and the Jordan River were shown and described by Cripe. Among historical churches shown were the Church of All Nations, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Church of the Nativity. The speaker also pointed out interesting features in pictures of the Mount of Temptation, the Mount of Olives, Wailing Wall, Jesus’ Tomb, the room where the Last Supper was held, and the Garden of Gethsemane.

Syracuse called Milford for assistance at 12:19 a.m. Milford responded with a pumper, tanker and grass fire truck. Mrs. Miller told fire officials she had taken hot ashes from the wood burner and had gone to the basement to check on her son. Upon returning upstairs she found the house full of smoke and observed the carpet, in front of the wood burner, on fire. When fireman arrived the home was engulfed in flames. Syracuse used approximately 4,000 gallons of water in fighting the blaze. Fire Chief Larry Hunter reported Mrs. Miller had tried to put out the fire with buckets of water after her neighbor had contacted the fire department. In fighting the fire, Mrs. Miller inhaled a lot of smoke and fire officials advised her husband to have her taken to the hospital for treatment.

Hold yule party —

Barbee Property Owners talk about flooding, erosion

Mary Patten, president, opened a recent meeting of the Board of Directors at Grassy Creek Hideaway, at 8 a.m. Seventeen board members and 13 guests were present. Frank Wall introduced guests Charles Lynch, president of Kosciusko Co., Drainage Board, and Maurice Beer and Fred Gilliam, both county commissioners. A discussion of the flooding, erosion and drainage problems affecting the Barbee Chain of Lakes revealed that it is a problem concerning farmers, who've lost land by erosion, as well as a clean up of ditches draining into the lakes. It was pointed out that holding ponds would benefit both farmers and retain water at flood times. A report on Putney and Elder Ditches and similar conditions resulted in suggestions and solutions, to be presented in the spring at a special meeting of the BLPOA committees on Water Control, Flooding, and Wetlands. It was noted that in the past 10 years 20 per cent of the wetlands have been lost due to erosion and filling in. The association hopes that this can be corrected before damage is done to the Barbee Chain of Lakes. Minutes of the previous board meeting were approved. Treasurer Frank Warner also gave a report, which was approved. Edison Witmer has consented to being Signs and Bouys Chairman. Millie Stephens, membership, requested that address changes and new residents be reported to her for her files. Curt Jordan reported on budget and by-laws. John Weyler, current events chairman, read a letter from TIP, reporting poachers in the area. A request was made to report any activity noted on poaching and the group voted to make a donation to the TIP organization. Weyler also requested that speeders also be reported, due to a report of 68 speeding violations which had been made from June through August, 1985. Weyler suggested that visitors of the lakes be advised of the laws. It was reported that there will be no board meetings until March, 1986. A donation was made to Crime Stoppers, to assist in their program. Christmas Party The annual Christmas party for the Barbee Lakes Property Owners was held Dec. 7, at Grassy Creek Hideaway, with 92 property owners and guests attending. A red and green Christmas Holiday decor greeted the guests as they entered, red tablecloths and candles on the

tables with pine and ornament centerpieces added to the color.

LESA SYSTEM EXPLAINED — Maria Rusomaroff, APC assistant planner, used a slide program last week to explain the new county Land Evaluation and Site Assessment system (LESA) to a group of interested county residents in the old court room of the Kosciusko County Courthouse. She stressed the system is not a deterrent to rezoning, but a tool to help the APC make proper decisions. (Photo by Glen Long)

Last crop report this year

By EARL L. PARK Statistician In Charge Purdue University In the last weekly report of the 1985 season, the completion of corn and soybean harvest continued to be delayed by snow cover or most soils not yet frozen enough to support equipment. Corn harvest is 90 percent complete, a gain of only three percentage points from the previous week. This is 10 days behind the 94 percent harvested last year and four weeks behind the 100 percent for the five year average. In 1972, the latest harvest of record, only 62 percent of the corn had been harvested by this date. Normally, corn harvest finishes about December 15. By area, corn harvest is 80 to 90 percent complete in the north, 90 to 95 percent complete in central counties and 90 to 95 percent complete in the south. Moisture content of corn harvested during the period was 22 percent, up one percentage point from the previous week and one percentage point above the last report of the 1984 season (December 9). Soybeans Soybean combining remained at 95 percent complete as high moisture content, as well as poor harvesting conditions, halted progress for the second straight week. Soybean harvest is two to three days behind the 97 percent combined last year and more than a month behind the five year average of 100 percent. Harvest is normally over about November 24. By area, soybean combining is 90 to 95 percent complete in the north, 95 to 98 percent complete

several solos. She also furnished the music for the sing-along, which followed the program. The 92 guests were asked to introduce themselves and the lakes which they are on, as well as the area they were formerly from. Table centerpieces were awarded to persons having lucky numbers while a number of door prizes were also awarded. A short business meeting followed the dinner party, with only those board members attending. Also, a thank you was extended to the committee for a job well done. Gebhart, Wilson, Dunker, and Marty Witmer were on that committee.

in the south. Os the few soybean fields combined last week, moisture content was 21 percent, up two percentage points from the previous week and six percentage points above a year ago. Wheat The last report of the season places wheat condition at 25 percent fair, 67 percent good, and eight percent excellent. The 75 percent good or better rating is down from the 79 percent of the previous week but still better than the final report of 1984 when wheat was rated 62 percent good or better. Tilling Tilling of land, intended for crops to be planted next spring, remains at 37 percent complete, unchanged for the fifth straight week. Last year tilling was 43 percent complete and normal is 65 percent complete. By area, tilling is 25 to 40 percent complete in the north, 30 to 40 percent complete in central counties and 40 to 60 percent complete in the south. Progress for the state is more than a month behind normal. Pasture Pastures are going into winter in much better condition this year than a year ago. Pastures are rated 31 percent poor, 35 percent fair, 32 percent good and two percent excellent. The 34 percent good or better rating compares with 19 percent good a year earlier and no reports for excellent. For the week ending Friday, .7 day was rated suitable for fieldwork. Topsoil moisture was rated three percent adequate and 97 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture was 15 percent adequate and 85 percent surplus.
