Miami County Sanitary Engineering office said it’s important for medications to be disposed of properly. Pills tossed in the trash may still be misused. The sheriff’s office staff takes the medications to be disposed. Shred Fest will be held May 4 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Sanitary Engineering facility. The event is sponsored by the local Newspapers in Education and Angie Shred. Miami County residents are allowed to bring four bags or four paper boxes each to be shredded for free. The shredder cannot accept anything other than
office paper or folders. Paper clips, binder clips and staples left on documents are OK. Bach said the main reason to shred documents with personal information such as account numbers and Social Security numbers is to prevent identity theft. Residents are welcome to watch their documents being shredded. A short wait might develop. This is the third year for Shred Fest, and the event has been so well attended in the past, another truck had to be brought in. All the shredded materials

Pottery, watercolors featured at Bear’s Mill teens used by characters in old westerns and war movies provided the inspiration for Loretta Wray’s whiskey vessels. “For me, the canteen represents a thirst or a longing to be quenched,” said the Indiana resident. She also said she believes whiskey can serve both good and bad purposes, but that the beneficial medicinal qualities of alcohol have been recognized since ancient times. In honor of those qualities, she used symbols related to medicine on her work.

it was also a time-consuming and exacting process, which provided a constant challenge. The buhr stones at Bear’s Mill were the inspiration for designs she carved on some of her pieces. Resident Bear’s Mill artist Julie Clark said living and working at the historic site is a catalyst for her work. “The turn of a wheel, rust collecting on old gears, silver gray boards, six over six windows, water flowing — all serve as inspiration,” Clark said. Her whiskey vessels have historical references, but also express her own aesthetic goal of creating rustic pieces with a minimalist modern structure.

The lecture is free and open to the public April 24. The Berlin Crisis began in 1948 after World War II. On June 24, Soviet authorities blockaded Western supply lines, cutting off much needed supplies to the residents of West Berlin. Officially, the Berlin Airlift began on June 26, with much risk to the pilots and crew. American aircraft departed from the air terminal at Rhein-Main, Germany, and landed at Templehof Airport in Berlin. Cargo airplanes were loaded with flour, milk, coal and other essential supplies. The German children were excited to see the “Candy Bomber,” pilot Gail Halvorsen, who would drop small parachutes with candy attached. Without the aid of the airlift, many West Berliners would have starved. Due to the success of the airlift, the Soviets discontinued the blockade, and the city of West Berlin was saved. Supinger was involved in several missions as a flight engineer during the airlift. He will relate his personal experiences of his time in

But the deal also put both Robinson and Rickey in the firing line of the public, the press and even other players. Facing unabashed racism from every side, Robinson was forced to demonstrate tremendous courage and restraint by not reacting in kind, knowing that any incident could destroy his and Rickey’s hopes. Starring: Harrison Ford, Chadwick Boseman, Christopher Meloni, Jon Bernthal Genre, rating: Drama, PG-13

eating good comforting food. Even now, as my children who are adults, come to visit, the first place we head to is the dinner table just to talk. This started when I was a young girl. My dad lost most of his hearing during the war, so the most comfortable place to talk to him so that he could hear and read our lips was at the table. With that being said, we don’t want to spend the most precious times with our loved ones cooking three-course meals in the evening. We need to fix dinner in a timely matter, and have it turn out delicious. First, make sure your pantry is well stocked, and read through your recipe to make sure you have everything you need. I usually lay out my ingredients the night before, so when I get home I’m ready to start. I clean as I work, so when we are finished I can head out the door with the kitchen left spic and span. I would much rather be taking a walk in one of our great parks instead of doing dishes! Try a few of these recipes and let me know if five ingredients in 10 minutes worked for you. Happy cooking! Write to me at dwolfe@civitasmedia.com.
Drain the tuna and place it in a mixing bowl. Flake with a fork. Coarsely chop the celery into 1/2-inch dice. Add the celery to the tuna. Add the mayonnaise, mint and horseradish.

Spring is finally here, and with all the hustle and bustle of sporting events, last minute school projects, meetings and gardening, it is hard to find time to fix a wonderful delicious, nutritious meal for your family. I am a strong advocate for families sitting down to dinner together. It’s that time when you can share what went on with your day either at school or at work. As parents, we always enjoy school chatter, but believe it or not, they are interested in our day as well. So many issues were talked through, organized and even solved sitting around the dinner table in my home, all while
