The current owner, Doug Roorbach, who has carried on that tradition, has decided the time has come to turn the reins over to a Hoosier journalist with deep roots in Indiana.

2020 Cole Porter Festival canceled due to COVID-19 The Cole Porter Festival in Peru, scheduled for the second week in June, has been canceled for this year only, according to organizers of the festival. “We felt it was the responsible thing to do,” Festival Executive Committee member Ellen Mock said. “We knew we
just couldn’t start in May and have a festival. We’ve been meeting since January, but the lion’s share of the work comes in April.”
cept this one, a festival has been produced. Last year, ReDiscover Downtown Peru took it over.
The 27-year-old festival was started by then Mayor Jim Walker and the Miami County Historical Society, to draw people to downtown Peru. Every year ex-
“RDP was happy to produce this festival,” RDP Board member and Cole Porter descendant Polly Dobbs said. “It has strong community support. If you’re a busi-
Free online learning tools available to Hoosier students, parents By State Rep. Ethan Manning With Indiana school buildings closed for the academic year, State Rep. Ethan Manning (RDenver) said there are several online resources available to help students continue learning at home. To slow the spread of COVID-19, Gov. Eric Holcomb recently issued an executive order requiring all K-12 schools to provide instruction through remote learning for the remainder of the 20192020 academic year. According to Manning, schools are working with the Indiana Department of Education to create continuous learning plans to ensure education is still happening and students keep up with their schoolwork. He said many schools have already implemented remote or e-learning programs. “In order to try to slow the spread of COVID-19 and protect Hoosiers’ health, Governor Holcomb and other state education leaders felt it was best for students to stay home,” Manning said. “Students and families across our state are finding themselves in positions they never thought they would be in, but we are fortunate to have resources to help young Hoosiers finish their school year from home. I know this is not easy and I want to thank our parents, administrators, teachers, and everyone else who is lending a helping hand to make sure
our students continue to advance in this unprecedented situation.” Parents can visit doe.in.gov/covid-19, and click on “Remote Learning Resources” to access educational tools, including free online classes for all grade levels covering multiple subjects. Manning said there’s also a parent toolkit with information on how to help students finish the school year strong, along with STEM activities, educational games, virtual tours of museums and zoos, and more. Indiana Public Broadcasting Stations recently teamed up with the DOE to offer television programming and online resources aligned with Indiana’s curriculum standards for K-12 students. Parents can find their local TV program schedule through the DOE’s COVID-19 website or by visiting their local IPBS station website. Students and parents can also visit PBSLearningMedia.org to find grab-and-go activities, lesson plans, interactive lessons and other materials. Manning said the state will continue looking for ways to help schools during the public health emergency and continue to be flexible during this unique time. For high school seniors on track to
graduate, the DOE is working to ensure the students receive credit for the classes they complete remotely this semester. “Our talented teachers and schools are committed to working tirelessly to make sure our students finish out their academic year,” Manning said. “Throughout this time, educators will continue communicating with families to ensure students have access to help with their schoolwork and meals.” Most schools are providing food to students in need, with many offering meals at pick up locations. Each district has a different policy, so parents should check their school district’s website for specific information. For households with limited or no internet connectivity, Manning said the DOE’s COVID-19 website also offers information on how to get low-cost or even free broadband service. Parents and guardians in need of child care during this time can visit childcarefinder.in.gov to find options near their home or on the way to work. However, children displaying any signs of sickness should remain home until they are better. For more information about remote learning, visit doe.in.gov/covid-19, or email IDOECOVID19@doe.in.gov with questions. State Rep. Ethan Manning (R-Denver) represents House District 23, which includes portions of Cass, Fulton and Miami counties.
ness donor, please remember to put us in your budget for next year! New business and individual donors are always more than welcome.” Festival Director Karl Rosenow said, “Next year will feature afterparties. We’ll have all the things you love about the festival,
plus a chance to dance and mingle afterward.” For more information or to volunteer for next year’s festival, call Vicki Draper at 765-472-7655. The Cole Porter Festival takes place the second weekend of June, throughout Peru.

Walk a Mile for hunger to be a virtual walk in 2020 This year’s annual Miami County Helping Hands Walk a Mile for Hunger will be a virtual walk. Walk around your yard, your living room, or walk in place. Helping Hands will not be hosting the typical annual community walk that was to take place April 18 in order to comply with COVID19 directives. However, they are still in need and will still take donations in support of the annual walk which is one of two major fundraisers each year. Your support to this ministry is vital. Donations may be mailed to: Miami County Helping Hands, 176 North Broadway, Peru, IN 46970. Helping Hands would also like to acknowledge and express sincere thanks for the support they have received during this challenging time.

765-472-1875 Monday, Wednesday, or Friday between 9 a.m. and 11:50 a.m. Do not leave voicemails. Helping Hands also asks for patience with their volunteers as they only have one phone line. They will help as quickly as possible or guide the one in need to the proper agency.

Twice
as nice
There are many dishes that can be made from leftover Easter ham By Laura Kurella
Now that the Easter holiday has come and gone, many of us are finding that the joy and happiness this holiday brings can also bless us with an abundance of extra leftovers that are now piled up in our fridge! If you surrendered to the pleasures of hiding Easter egg gems, right about now you may be finding some overlooked ones stinking up the den! For eggs such as these it is best to triple bag them and toss them away. However, for the ones that were successfully found and safely returned to their cold nest, it is always best to also wash these eggs with soap and water then drying before re-refrigerating. Foodsafety.gov recommends eating hard-boiled eggs within 7 days of cooking, and they recommend discarding any hard-boiled (hidden) Easter eggs that ended up with cracked shells because bacteria can enter the gg and contaminate it – risky business! Ham also has some leftover rules of its own, and contrary to popular belief, it does not have a long storage life. In fact, its storage time is contingent upon the type of ham it is. Fresh uncured hams (after cooking) can be stores 3 to 4 days in
refrigerator and 3-4 months in freezer while cured hams (after cooking) can be stored 3 to 5 days in refrigerator or 1 to 2 months in freezer. Spiral-cut hams (after cooking) can also be stored 3 to 5 days in refrigerator or 1 to 2 months in freezer, and Country hams (after cooking) can be stored the longest - up to 7 days in refrigerator or 1 month in freezer. Because there are so many variables present, it’s a good idea to inspect leftover ham before it is consumed. Its color – pink – should remain free from any brown, gray or green colors or moldy spots. Unless caused by initial cooking, odd colors indicate that ham has gone bad. Smell is also an indicator because once a ham begins to head south it will begin to emit a bad odor. When it comes to food you are always better off being safe than sorry. Inspect all food carefully and checking first with the nose then the eye before the mouth. If you suspect anything rogue about a food be smart, throw it out! Sprinkled with special flavor-filled spice, here are some recipes courtesy of McCormick that offer up new ways to make your ham leftovers taste twice as nice Enjoy! Sources: foodsafety.gov
