quicentennial celebration is held in July and all visitors can see again what a really fine town it is. “I expect my pride in the work being done by Town Marshall Ziller and the entire police department to continue through 1987,” added Hughes. “The concern of all on the department for the safety of our residents is great. Especially valuable to all citizens in Syracuse is the department’s eagerness to work with young people to help solve some of their problems. ’ ’ a “I think we can all be pleased that Syracuse is prospering as a town as we work together to make it an even better place in which to live and work,” concluded Hughes. Jim Hughes and his wife, Jay, have returned to Syracuse from the sunny South, where they have been since early January. Hughes said he could fall in love with Florida, but Syracuse looked awfully good to him when they came home.

Mary Jane Deardorff, a resident concerned about the winter feeding of the ducks and geese, commented she observed a small group of approximately 80 geese at the park on Monday. She stated as far as she knows this is the first time for this many Canada geese to stay in the area past mid-February and believes it may be contributed to the open winter and a feeder placed in the park. Shown in the photo are two of the Canada geese found at Henn Ward Park on Monday. (Photo by Deb Patterson)

I ||y By . v .Jgg ' LITERATURE LEADER — “Luring Kids With Language” will be the topic of a workshop featuring Bill Martin, Jr., to be held Saturday, March 14, from 8:30 a.m. until 12 noon. The workshop will be located at Camelot Hall in North Webster. Tippkee Council, a local affiliate of the International Reading Association, is the sponsor of this event. Bill Martin, Jr., is one of the leaders in children’s literature. Millions of children, teachers and librarians in every state of the union and throughout Canada have responded wholeheartedly to Bill Martin’s unique ability to make a story come alive with meaning, humor and drama, and to his understanding of children, language and literature revealed in his lectures and writing. His lecturing is itself an art form, interrelating storytelling, reciting, singing and philosophizing, often to musical accompaniment. Martin has been a teacher, principal, editor of classroom materials for a major publishing company, and has been a visiting professor at universities and colleges all over the United States. He will be a featured speaker at the International Reading Conference and a headliner at the Great Lakes Regional Reading Conference this year. The workshop will provide participants with suggestions and examples of how to use reading as a springboard to all of the language arts. His presentation will interest teachers, parents, librarians, school administrators and others interested in motivating reading. Workshop attendance is open to the public. Advance registration forms may be obtained until March 7 by contacting Dixie Pryor at the North Webster School; there will be a fee charged. On the day of the workshop, registrations will be taken at the door with a slightly higher fee being charged. Open fires Nothing is more “homey” and delightful on a winter evening than a fire in an open fireplace. The know-how of modern brick masons and builders have largely eliminated the mess and bother connected with an open fire. Beauteous things I love all beauteous things, I seek and adore them; God hath no better praise, and man in his hasty days is honoured for them. — Robert Bridges

The Department of Natural Resources is ready to help one plan vacations to favorite state properties by providing the free 1987 Recreation Guide in plenty of time for this spring and summer, announced Jim Ridenour, DNR director. “This unique 40-page booklet is chock-full of information for people traveling the Hoosier state,” said Ridenour. “It’s never too early to plan a summer vacation and our guide will give visitors a blueprint to go by.” The recreation guide contains information on 106 DNR properTime saving tips No time to cook? There’s always time for a nutritious potato. Consider these time saving tips: • Eat potatoes with their peels on . . . not only will time be saved, but extra fiber, vitamins and nutrition will be added to a favorite potato recipe. • Use the microwave. A whole potato can be cooked in as little four minutes depending on the wattage of the oven. • If baking potatoes in a conventional oven, cut them in half, place them cut side down on a lightly-greased cookie sheet and bake. They’ll be ready in about half the time. • Cut potatoes can be steamed or boiled in less time than whole potatoes. • Cook extra potatoes ahead of time and store them in a looselycovered bowl in the refrigerator. Use them for the next few days in salads, casseroles, mashed potatoes, soups, etc. • Use leftover potatoes for hot and delicious home fries and hash browns. • For a quick and easy meal, top a baked potato with a favorite “boil in a bag” topping (such as chili con came, vegetables in cheese sauce, etc.).
