Put a 59-year-old male on a 4' 2 x6 foot inflated raft, give him a canoe paddle, some cheese curls, peanuts, a bag of green grapes, a soft drink and an Alfred Hitchcock magazine. Turn the raft loose on Dewart Lake on a beautiful, sunny, August afternoon, with a slight breeze blowing, and he is going to have a really great time. The raft was a birthday gift from my wife, Mary. It made its maiden voyage on Dewart Lake Ihst summer with short trips close to the dock. This summer I decided to raft the length of Dewart Lake. Mary helped me to round up my snacks and she helped to pump up the

raft with a foot pump. I was launched onto the lake at a public access site on road 300E. I paddled away from the launch site a little after 1 p.m. as Mary took pictures of the event. My destination was my Uncle Stanley’s cottage near Quaker Haven at the other end of the lake. .. Once out on the lake I discovered that the wind was only partly helpful in heading me toward the cottage. I needed to use the canoe paddle to keep on course. Even so, there was plenty of time to sit back and enjoy the Hitchcock mystery as I munched my snacks. The water was gently lapping against the raft. This was total relaxation.

My trip ended a little before 3 p.m. as I touched shore by Uncle Stanley’s boat dock. Mary was on hand to shower me with “confetti” made of Queen Ann’s lace, to place a wreath of laurel leaves on my head and to snap another picture. I felt like a hero. Our family has been coming to Dewart Lake since 1972. Our five daughters and two sons have many fond memories of good times at Dewart Lake and North Webster. The cottage, without a telephone or television, makes a great get-a-way for us. We enjoy the usual lake activities: swimming, fishing, boating and sunning. The girls love to catch turtles and frogs in the channel by Blueberry Island, and then turn them loose. The children often end their day on the trampolines at the amusement park at North Webster. We have discovered there are great shopping opportunities in the business establishments around the Lakeland area. We love this part of the state and have found the Hoosiers to be very friendly people. We think, “Life is better in North Webster —tand at Dewart Lake, ’ ’

Property owners elect officers Members of the board of directors for the Barbee Lakes Property Owners Association met recently at a local restaurant for their August board meeting. New officers were elected. They are Mary Patten, president; John Weyler, vice president; Frank Warner, treasurer; and Martha Crawford, secretary. Everett Sowers reported that the annual dinner meeting in July was a success. Discussion was held about wetland fill-in and Elder Ditch. Weyler reported on current events and legal matters. Debbie Lambert reported on flood control, the Tippy clean-up and holding ponds for water retention. The 10 mile-per-hour speed limit signs on the lakes and state laws pertaining to boat safety were discussed. This information will be available to members via the property owners newsletter. Weyler advised that the spreading of old, used oil on dirt roads could pollute wells and drain off into channels. It is

hazardous to the water quality and consequently is considered a health hazard. Membership records will be updated. Patten noted that correct addresses are imperative to the accuracy of the membership rolls to assure that newsletters are getting to the membership. Reports of any changes of ownership oflreal estate or residence should be sent in with the yearly dues to: P.O. Box 175, North Webster. Patten read letters from Glen Canter, Vintage Printing, and the North Webster sesquicentennial committee. A letter of appreciation has been sent to Lee Armstrong for the posting of boating law signs at A&A Marina. Discussion of the condition of the locks between the lakes revealed that the locks need to be redesigned and rebuilt. The chain drive mechanism has been repaired to accommodate summer traffic. Gene Rinehold will be fish stock chairman, assisted by Larry Gaston. A copy of state laws on animal control was distributed to each board member. The next meeting will be September 20, at 8 a.m., at Grassy Creek'Hideaway. All resi-

dent property owners are encouraged to attend these open meetings and are invited to ask questions they may have concerning anything regarding the lakes or wetlands. Pythian Sisters finalize plans for Friendship Night Plans for Friendship Night were finalized on August 25 when North Webster Pythian Sisters met at Lakeside Temple.
