Summer

Wawasee hoop camp successful

SYRACUSE — To many young Lakeland-area residents, summer means it’s time to attend camp. There are variety of camps to select, from academic to athletic camps. This summer, which hasn’t completed two weeks, Wawasee’s boys’ basketball camp has been extremely successful. Warrior head coach Gary Goshert enjoyed his best camp for third, fourth and fifth graders as twenty-seven campers attended the fundamental camp. The one week session was designed to give the young ball players instruction on the fundamentals of the game, and at .the same time, have fun. Goshert /thought both were accomplished last week. “This has been our best camp for this age group since coming here,” insisted the coach. “We were able to teach them some skills and they enjoyed themselves. It was a good camp.” Wawasee’s camp will continue with two-five week session?. The camp will be broken into two hour sessions, with instruction taking the first hour and competition the final hour. This is a new concept in area basketball camps. But it should benefit the athletes, more, in the long run. With this format, camp will be held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday during the five-week period. The first week is held for next year’s sixth and seventh graders, the last week, eighth and ninth. s Camps have much to offer students and Wawasee’s boys’ camp is nothing different. Goshert has blended technique and skill with sportsmanship to make this a worthwhile experience.

the establishment started a rush of growth and progress. The business community of Oswego received a great deal of help from French, Willard and Barbee who platted a progressive community; building a dam, building a mill or two, and with their worldly goods, promoting the education and advancement of the pioneer population. In 1840, the United States government designated the Willard and Co. store as a post office, and appointed Ezekel French as the first postmaster of Oswego. He was the first, of 19 postmasters whose terms ran until 1935. In 1889, John Pound bought the store from Charles A. White. Pound provided a house beside the store for his family, so customers could receive service 24 hours a day. The store and property were owned by the Pound family until 1968, when Harold Pound, John’s son, presented the store to the Kosciusko County Historical Society. Admission to the Oswego Pound Museum is free, but donations are appreciated. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

'Plain and Fancy' at Amish Acres

Playhouse Productions, with the support of the Indiana Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts, announced the opening of “Plain and Fancy” at Amish Acres in Nappanee, on Sunday, May 29. Playhouse Productions in cooperation with Amish Acres, is presenting the Broadway musical “Plain and Fancy.” This charming musical centers on a peaceable Amish community in Pennsylvania, and tells the story of a New York couple who travel bird-in-hand in order to sell a farm that has been inherited. The very modern, “fancy,” New York couple is intrigued, charmed and often confused by the customs of the “plain” Amish. Both cultures learn about one another, and as a mutual understanding begins, love blossoms providing the audience with a poignant romantic evening of theatre. The cast of “Plain and Fancy” comes from several different and distant areas of the country. Laura Freeman is a resident of South Bend and a student at IUSB. “Plain and Fancy” marks her professional debut. Alexander Oleksij comes from New Jersey.
