FIND SOMETHING TO DO IN CASS COUNTY THIS SUMMER!

“Preventive medicine is as much about setting priorities as it is about eating right and getting enough exercise.”

Dr. Jeffrey VanCuren, an OB/GYN at Logansport Memorial, believes setting priorities for yourself is a form of preventive medicine--particularly when it comes to women’s healthcare. As a husband and the father of five daughters— triplets age 14, a Purdue freshman, and a five-year-old from China—he should know.

“All that’s going on in the world can take its toll, physically and emotionally. Stress builds up; stress weakens the immune system and causes other health problems.” To minimize its impact, Dr. VanCuren suggests, “Work from the inside out. Put God and family first. Your family needs you and God is pretty capable of solving problems on His own.”

Good advice from Dr. VanCuren, who is here to care.

“Establecer prioridades es tan medicina preventiva como comer bien y hacer suficiente ejercicio.”

El Dr. Jeffrey VanCuren, un ginecólogo/obstetra en el Hospital Memorial de Logansport, cree que establecer prioridades para uno mismo es una forma de medicina preventiva – particularmente cuando se trata del cuidado de la salud de las mujeres. Como esposo y padre de cinco hijas – trillizas de 14 años de edad, una estudiante del primer año en Purdue, y una niñita de 5 que vino de China – él debe saber.

“Todo lo que está sucediendo en el mundo nos afecta, física y emocionalmente. El estrés va aumentando; el estrés debilita el sistema inmunológico y causa otros problemas de salud.” Para minimizar el impacto el Dr. VanCuren sugiere, “Trabaje desde adentro hacia afuera. Ponga a Dios y la familia primero. Su familia la necesita y Dios bien puede resolver problemas por Sí solo.”

Buen consejo del Dr. VanCuren, que está aquí para asistir.

Logansport City Council approves funding renovations of former Ivy Tech building

Ivy Tech Community College opened the doors to its new Logansport campus in the Spring. In the fall, the city plans for a satellite campus of Trine University to do the same â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the space formerly occupied by Ivy Tech.

The Logansport City Council has appropriated $60,000 for renovations to the building at 2815 E. Market and $20,500 to cover utility costs for the building for a period of 24 months. The money will come from the Eastgate Fund, which is where rent previously paid

by Ivy Tech to the city for use of the facility was deposited.

Trine University has agreed to a 3-year lease

of the facility after the initial incentive period SHQGLQJ VXIĂ&#x20AC;FLHQW FODVV VL]HV DQG HQUROOPHQW City and County employees, as well as Ivy Tech graduates, will be offered discounted tuition rates.

The Logansport Community School Corporation is considering establishing an alternative school in another portion of the building. -- ML

CassCounty + P 8 : Starting in July, Logansport residents will begin paying for trash pickup in a new way. Having Wabash Valley collect trash and recycling from July 2010 through June 2011 will cost the city $867,111 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and decreases in property tax revenues have led the city to begin charging residential customers through Logansport Municipal Utilities for the service. Residential LMU customers will see a charge of $11.97 per month for trash pickup on their LMU bills.
