cold winter months, too. Milford area gardener Kie Musselman explained, “We never have any waste from our garden We just put a sign out and motorist stop and buy things, and my wife puts stuff up for the

winter.” Musselman has an approximately one-fourth acre garden this year, though he has had big- « ger ones in the past. He has been gardening for about 36 years. Donna Warner of the Metropolitan Home Magazine suggest there are a few tips about fresh vegetables and fruits that area persons may find helpful. When looking for tomatoes, look for ripe, thoroughly red, firm fruits. Plum tomatoes are best, with fewer seeds and more meat She suggest that zucchini be picked when it’s very young, sauteed in butter, or steeped in a seasoned brine with thinly sliced white onions. It’s also perfect as a relish for meats, sandwiches and salads. While raspberries, she stated, are feast or famine. You wait all spring, then POW! — they arrive en masse. Berries can be used in stuffings, game and meat sauces, custard or ice cream, as well as a multitude of other foods. . With peaches, it’s good to search out the most fragrant, un bruised fruit now, and think ahead to a cozy winter breakfast with grilled toast and your summer-made peach preserves. The list could go on an on, but

Sounds of Hope group returns from 16th tour

“Take my hand I’ll take yours, and we’ll begin a circle of love.” These words from the Sounds of Hope theme song best describe the 16th annual Sounds of Hope European goodwill concert tour The group recently returned from touring Holland, Germany. Austria. Switzerland. France, England and Belgium. The 81 members of this years Sounds of Hope group represented nine states. Also traveling with those from America were Rob and Joke Turk from Doetinch.em, Holland The personnel of Sounds of Hope are members of the choir or string ensemble, a harpist, and nonperformers who help with other responsibilities that make a successful tour. Mr and z Mrs Varner M. Chance, North Webster, Indiana, were tour directors. The Chances founded Sounds of Hope for the . purpose of providing its members an opportunity to use their talents in the area of international understanding. Sounds of Hope Members acquire firsthand knowledge of the people by living with them in their homes and becoming a part of their families. Many lasting friendships have been made throughout the more than 3,000 miles of travel. The fifteen concert sites were

the usable life of the vegetable or fruit doesn’t. The key is to take care of it now during the busy summer months. Musselman stated, “Having a garden is a lot of hard work, and I’d advise beginners to start with a small garden and work up to a larger one if they wish to. But very few people actually have large gardens anymore.” However, there are those who enjoy gardening, just because they love the beauty and smell of it, those people are flowergardeners. “I’ve had a flower garden for 10 years now,” commented Glea Rule of near Oswego. Her garden is approximately 100 feet by 125 feet and is primarily made up of gladiolus, roses and snap-dragons. Though she stated, in the past she has grown a lot of asters, too. “I like to grow flowers for my own pleasure,” she stated, “and sometimes I take them down to the church with me. ” To Indiana summers simply! mean one has to have a garden-of some type, no matter how small, there just has to be one.

in small villages as well as large cities. The invitations having come from a community, a church, a choir, a local RotaryClub or the Franco-American Association. Joining Sounds of Hope for the Hallelujah Chorus and theme song Sounds of Hope were the choir members of the church at Baccarat, France. This beautiful church was rebuilt in 1957 after being destroyed by American bombs in 1944. In Longuyon. France, the choir gave a special concert as part of the celebration of the 700 year anniversary of the construction of Saint Agatha Church. The Sounds of Hope Concert helped Saint Andrews United Reform Church in Cheam. England, raise money for the Rotary International project to eradicate polio around the world After joining hands with old and new friends on the continent and in England. Sounds of Hope returned to America and joined hands with families and friends at their homecoming concert in Syracuse, Indiana 1,937 Sounds of Hope members are confident the goodwill tour has contributed to world peace by bringing the message of hope and love to the people of other nations.

Summer pike fishing hot

I like to travel to Wisconsin and Minnesota to fish. One of the fish I like to catch there is northern pike. Unfortunately, I have neither the time or money to travel to these areas very often. I am sure the pike fishing in these states is better than that in our local area. However, I have made some of my best catches of pike right in this area. Usually, when you travel to fish, a bad weather system arrives before you and does not leave until after you have left: Your chances of fishing under favorable weather conditions are much better when you fish locally Every year the northern pike go on a feeding binge This starts after several unusually hot days. The first hot spell seems to mark the beginning of this feeding binge This period usually occurs in the last part of June. The best fishing occurs after we have had ObT\ By CHARLES SHANK several days of hot, muggy weather in a row with the temperature in the high 90 degree range. If we have just one or two 90 degree days the pike fishing is not real good, but if we have four or five days of this unbearably hot, muggy weather, the pike get extremely active. The best time of the day to fish seems to be in the afternoon. It can be very tough fishing in the hot sun when the air temperature is almost 100 degrees and you feel woozy from ♦he sun. This is one time of year when you definitely want a large jug of ice water in the boat. You may still feel tempted to jump into the lake even with the ice water. This period of time is also about the time the weed growth is it’s thickest for the summer. If the weeds are not developed the pike’ will usually not move into shallow water.

This red hot fishing lasts for a few weeks. How long it lasts depend on the- weather. If the weather continues to be stable with high temperatures, the pike may feed heavily for three or four weeks. If the weather cools off, the pike may only feed for a week or two before resuming normal feeding. The best place to fish for northern pike at this time is along the weedlines. The best weedlines are usually eight to fifteen feet deep The northern pike will be very close to the edge of the weedlines near points and turns in the weedline. Often you will catch two or three pike from each pocket or point. The weedline between these pockets or points will have fish use, but you will not usually find a group of fish in these straight areas. You can catch a pike from a pocket, leave and then return later in the day and catch another pike. I have had my best catches of northern pike on crankbaits, which are usually thought of as bass fishing lures. Many fishermen believe pike bite spoons best This is true when you are fishing shallow in relatively cold water. However, in-very hot weather when the water is warm, the crankbait works better than a spoon. Some of the newer crankbaits designed for walleye fishing should be excellent also for northern pike. I have never used minnows during this time to fish for pike. When the pike are very active and catchable I wou)d rather be casting to the fish. I can get my lure in front of several pike While you have to wait for the pike to find your minnow Even after fin ding a minnow a pike might ig

IBv BILL SPURGEON FOR THE MAIL-JOURNAL On tap currently at the En chanted Hills Theatre east of here *is ‘‘ G ods pel 1, ’ ’ a 1970 vintage dramatization designed to liven up the Gospel according to St. Matthew And liven it up is what it does Led by Paul Gregory Nelson and Walter Winston ONeil, an energetic company of 11 En chanted Hills players brings life and color to the stage of the barn theatre, acting out the lessons taught in the New Testament. Nelson is winsome and winning as the boyish Jesus, bringing to his followers the advice contained in the book of Matthew. As his counterpart Judas, ONeil, a small man with a big voice and a remarkable stage presence, is credible indeed. This reviewer is not all that sold on “Godspell” as being real ly terrific for summer theatre, but for those who saw the 1977 version at Enchanted Hills (then under the managership of Doug

none it. Pike do not ignore a fast moving crankbait. I fish the crankbait on heavy line, usually 20 lb. test with a steel leader I “use casting reels and casting rods. A longer rod allows you to get a better hook set and for this reason I like a 6 1 2 foot rod I crank the bait very fast because a fast moving bait seems to provoke more strikes than a slower moving bait. I have better success using a straight retrieve. Starting and stopping the crankbait works very well for bass fishing, but for pike fishing a

Stark and Robert Zehr, now of Indianapolis Beef and Boards fame), the 1987 version directed by Richard Pahl outshines its predecessor. The stage is less stark, there is more movement and color, and the music and the dialogue seem more cogent. “Godspell” was created by John-Michael Tebelak at the end of a decade which had brought along such musicals as “Hair,” “Oh Calcutta,’’ and “Don’t Bother Me, I Can’t Cope.” It is unlike any of these in that it is not, and underline not, irreverent; it resembles them in that it is innovative. All the devices of theatre are put on display in "Godspell," from mime to dancing to question-and-ansvPer gags to popular music And they succeed in entertaining, which is a mission of theatre. Were I to have any quarrel with "Godspell” on opening night, it would be that the pacing was in-

straight retrieve seems to work better. Many fishermen believe that ( northern pike are caught mostly in the spring. They believe that in the summer the pike fishing stops. Pike will bite very well in the summer during this period of hot, muggy weather. I have caught more pike in a shorter period of time during this period than at any other time of the year. If you can’t stand the heat then you won’t enjoy the fishing. Pass that large jug of extremely cold ice water, please. Wait-I think this might just be that 15 pounder I’ve been fishing for.

itially slow. But it picked up. I wish I could say the same for the audience, but it was a warm night after several hair-raising storms in the neighborhood, and perhaps all the audience energy had been exhausted before the show began. At any rate, the performers in "Godspell” deserve some feedback from the people to whom they play, and I hope it increases as the show moves into its stecond week. / Company members besides Nelson and ONeil are Deborah Boldt, Nancy Slusser, Mark Korres, Debbie Crabtree, Paul W. Thompson (to whom credit is due, as assistant music director, for a special arrangement of “Day by Day"), Anneliza Wolf, Chip Evans, Amy Griffin and Jason Singer. The four band singers in the second act are Gary Slivinski, Evans, Greg Kompes and Sean Batson. And the visible and tuneful orchestra — also complemented by others — is made up of Julie Kutosh (music director), Kompes and Batson. There isn’t a ringer in the lot. “Godspell” continues through Sunday at the barn east of former SR Alt. 13. Curtain times are 8 except Sunday, when it’s an hour earlier s . The following week Enchanted Hills will present “Gypsy,” the story of Gypsy Rose Lee and June Havoc and their stage mother. Set in the days of vaudeville, it doesn’t resemble “Godspell” at all. Why not plan to see them both? True Housework is what a woman does that no one ever notices unless she doesnit do it.
