No Cromwell fireworks this year

Thci c will be no Cromwell Eire Department Fireworks this year on Lake Wawasee. “Being the sesquicentennial time, we don’t want to rob the thunder and don’t want to take away from the celebration,” commented Jim Wallace, a member of the Cromwell Fire Department who has been involved in shooting off the fireworks for the past 23 years. John Kroh, chairman of the Syracuse Fireworks, stated Syracuse’s Fireworks display, normally on July 4, was changed this year so the "Big Bang Boom” fireworks could be shown at a time when most people are available. Saturday was decided to be the ideal time for the “Big Bang Boom” regardless of the date. "I reluctantly changed the date,” commented Kroh. who stated the committee then looked .at Sunday, July 5, and felt the fireworks display would fit better on Friday, July 3. Kroh contacted Alan Hudsell of the Cromwell Fire Department and explained the changes, suggesting Cromwell have its fireworks on July 5 along with their chicken barbecue. Hudsell stated he would take it to the fire department members who voted to by-pass the fireworks this year. Wallace commented there is no

SENATOR AUGSBURGER AT KIWANIS CLUB —‘Senator John B. Augsburger, Syracuse, met with the Wawasee Kiwanis Club on Saturday, June 5, and shared highlights of the legislation passed by the recent Indiana General Assembly. This session was the biennial session which is the long one. Os the 500 bills in the Senate and the 900 in the House, over 300 were passed. He discussed a few of these. The lottery bill has been passed for the second time, as required, and will now be placed on the ballot in the general election. If the voters of the state approve, the legislature will then decide on the type of lotteries to be permitted. The legislation provides for a change in the constitution. An increase of five cents in tax on cigarettes and 15 cents on other tobacco was passed. The education bill was one of the large bills and one with much debate. With a number of amendments it was passed. It started with S4OO million increase in taxes, and ended with SBOO million increase, due primarily to pork barrel amendments. The bill provides for what is believed to be improvements in the quality bf education in Indiana. Work is being done in a preliminary way to work toward some legislation for the improvement of our lakes. Shown in the photo are Kenneth Bowton; Sen. Augsburger; and Phil Hoover, president.

animosity in any wav with the changes made. “We normally shot on the 3rd and Syracuse having a sesquicentennial, had chosen that date. We felt that two fireworks the same time at each end of the lake would be trying to overshadow Syracuse’s event.” Cromwell Fire Department likes to have good relations between Syracuse and themselves and felt this year it would be beneficial for Cromwell not to have its fireworks as a gesture of good will. “We decided since it was Syracuse's Sesquicentennial and they were trying to put on a big show, to back off. There’s no hard feelings. ” Wallace stated the fire department looked into having its display on Sunday, July 5, but felt that date would be to late and people would be going home. “We like to have a crowd. We sell barbecue chicken, popcorn and pop to raise money for fire fighting equipment. There wouldh’t be the magnitude of people." Fireworks will be Friday, July 3, after 9:30 p.m. at Syracuse Lakeside Park, and the "Big Bang Boom” fireworks on Saturday, July 4, at TO p.m. The latter display can be seen from Lake Wawasee, former fish hatchery site, and as far away as Harris Funeral Home.
