Seven years after breaking ground, West Plains Mining is still digging
by Eric Stearley eric@thepaperofwabash.com “There’s an expression, ‘If it can’t be grown, it’s got to be mined,’” said Will Woodward, owner and founder of West Plains Mining. “Everything in this world is either grown or mined.” Woodward is the owner of West Plains Mining, a limestone quarry just outside Richvalley. At just 34 years old, he’s already been in the industry for 21 years. “I started at age 13. I’m originally from Warsaw, Indiana, and I rode my bike up on Nov. 10 of 1993 and asked for a job at a gravel pit,” said Woodward. “My dad was a truck driver, so I wasn’t born into the industry. I started out just running equipment and cleaning loaders, doing oil changes…I did that for seven years.” Toward the end of that time, Woodward began attending Wabash College in Crawfordsville. He later worked as the production manager for six operations in northwest Indiana. Shortly after he started working on his MBA at Butler, he was offered a job in strategic planning for a Fortune 500 company in a five-state region. Seven years ago, he set out on his own to build something special. “I literally started the first month of the recession, so it was great timing on my part,” he joked. “We’ve got 333 acres on the whole site, so basically it runs from Richvalley all the way to Aleris. This was all fields, so when you see the hole, you’ll realize the magnitude of what we’ve done over the past 7 years.” Will has a passion for geology. His location, just east of Richvalley, is unique from that perspective. Most limestone quarries in northern Indiana mine ancient coral reefs. Woodward mines much deeper limestone in what he calls the “birthday cake,” three massive layers of limestone, each with different qualities and chemical makeup. In Indiana, the limestone formations are named after the place they were discovered. In this case, beneath a layer of overburden made up of shale, clay, sand, and gravel is a layer known as the Mississinewa formation. The lowest quality of the three layers, the Mississinewa formation is 111 feet thick, and it’s used for commercial purposes like building and road pads. Below this is the 92-foot-thick Louisville formation, which is made up of highquality, calcium-rich limestone. The final, 149-foot-thick layer is known as the Salamonie formation, which is made up of limestone rich in magnesium.
WILL WOODWARD, OWNER OF WEST PLAINS MINING, stands on the rim of the quarry near Richvalley on Tuesday, May 20. The pit is more than two hundred feet deep, and currently serves as the entrance to the business’ underground mining operation. The entrance tunnels pictured behind Woodward are 28 feet tall. Woodward opened the mine in May of 2007. (photo by Eric Stearley) Woodward’s first four years on the site were dedicated to removing overburden and mining the Mississinewa layer in open pits for commercial uses. Over the past two years, the focus has shifted to mining the Louisville layer using an underground tunnel system. “The way the economy was for the past 7 years, we weren’t moving a lot of this commercial stuff, because there just wasn’t as much building going on, but we had a lot of demand for the high-calcium, pure quality stuff, so it’s like, ‘hey, why not mine that stuff underground,’” said Woodward. People often ask Woodward why he chose to set up shop off of old 24. It comes down to geology. The mine sits atop a special formation where the Louisville layer is relatively close to the surface, just 130 feet down. As you move north or south of Wabash County, the layer falls off. “One reason I’m here is because if you
look at it from the side, here we have Wabash, and you have the Michigan basin on one side and you have the Illinois basin on the other,” said Woodward. “This higher quality stuff is closer to the surface. Like in South Bend, to get to the Louisville, you have to go 1,000 feet down. Basically it depresses down on each side.” The reason for this is an ancient archipelago. Woodward mines limestone deposited during the Silurian period. A string of barrier islands once peppered the landscape in what is now Wabash County, separating the ancient oceans, which filled the basins on either side. “416-460 million years ago, this was ocean bottom, so this is all ocean sediment that was built up over time, and what dictates the quality, believe it or not, is just how tranquil the Earth was in this location at that time,” said Woodward. “So typically the more tranquil it was, the higher quality it was.”
At the time the Louisville layer was deposited, the area was like a calm, backwater lagoon. This allowed for the formation of high-quality stone. When the Mississinewa layer was deposited some time later, there were more storm events in the area, resulting in a lower quality stone. “A lot of people don’t realize it, but Wabash County has one of the highest concentrations of ocean reefs in North America, but it was 400 million years ago,” said Woodward. “There are reefs all over the place here, like Hanging Rock is a reef.” The events of the distant past have shaped the underground landscape, making the mile-long stretch on which the mine sits a prime location for the operation. “It was pure economics. It was less overburden and commercial stuff to get through to get to the higher quality (continued on page 5)

THANK YOU TO ECO-LAB, HUNTINGTON: Southwood High was able to offer Guitar 101 to 15 students. Eco-lab awarded a Vision Learning Grant to Southwood Choir Department in August 2013. The choir department was able to purchase 8 new guitars, tuners, cases, and music. Beginning in January and lasting through the end of April, students used the 8 guitars or brought in their own guitars for weekly lessons. Terry LeMaster, Noisemaker Music Store, Wabash, generously came in every Friday during SHS homeroom time to teach lessons. Then on Friday afternoons, after school, Isaac Powel taught additional lessons. Several students had never played a guitar before and after a few lessons, they were strumming basic chords and even singing songs. Tanner Rhamy impressed all when he sang and played “Hey There Delila” after only 1 week of lessons. He said he practiced all the time. Mrs. Dubuque and all of the students send out a huge THANK YOU to Eco-lab for the grant money and to Terry LeMaster for the lessons. Guitar 101 was a huge success!! (photo provided)

Research reviews cover crops’ ability to improve Ag resiliency Purdue researchers hop on board with 10 other land-grant universities and USDA looking to improve Ag’s resiliency toward climate challenges
Cover crops and data on controlled drainage of water are under Purdue researchers’ microscopes as they participate in a 10-university

project to examine ways to mitigate climate change’s effects on agriculture. The grants are part of a larger project headed up by USDA that focuses broadly on various regional impacts and potential ramifications of a changing climate. The project is further backed by White House efforts to tackle climate change and a new climate assessment released last week by the Obama Administration that predicts complications from climate change will become increasingly unfavorable to agriculture in the next 25 years. Upper Midwest projects focus on ways
to make corn-based cropping systems more resilient and sustainable, called the Sustainable Corn Project. Purdue’s research team’s work in studying cover crops and drainage water management is aimed at helping crops become more productive amid variable weather and climate, said agronomy professor Eileen Kladivko. “We are researching practices that are not yet widely adopted across the state,” she said. Cover crops improve soil health over time by reducing erosion and increasing water infiltration and retention, said Kladivko, who is researching cover crops. The mulch provided by cover crops can conserve soil moisture longer during the growing season, resulting in reducing crop stress during dry periods. “Many of these benefits require several years of using cover crops before they

mind,” she said. Agronomy professor Phillip Owens is working to increase understanding of the role of soil variability in soil health and a g r i c u l t u r a l resilience. Professors Jane Frankenberger in agricultural and biological engineering and Laura Bowling in agronomy are evaluating drainage water management, sometimes called controlled drainage, for its effect on conserving water that otherwise would drain away in the early growing season.
Some of the water can be stored within the soil itself by raising the outlet of the drainage system immediately after spring planting. The crops then would have increased availability to water during dry periods. “While that system has shown only small increases in crop yields in some years, the potential benefits may become more important in the future due to climate variability and change,” Kladivko said.

Seven years after breaking ground, West Plains Mining is still digging... continued from front page
rocks,” said Woodward. “The misconception is that there’s rock everywhere. When I started, a lot of people were like, ‘Why didn’t you come to my backyard? I hit rock 4 feet down.’ Well, rock’s not rock, and stone’s not stone. There’s a lot of variation in quality and they can be very localized features. Think of it like finding gold. It’s obviously not as valuable as gold, but you have to go geologically where it was deposited.” It took nearly five years of research for Woodward to pinpoint the best location for the mine. He knew he needed to be in Wabash County to take advantage of the geological features that put the quality rock is near the surface. He also had to find a piece of land big enough to set up the mine and processing plant, and he also had to be able to get it zoned. “I wanted to be on a good road, which is critical, because you don’t want to be tearing up roads – you have trucks obviously,” said Woodward. “And I wanted to be near a rail, [in case] we ever wanted to ship anything by rail, so you start putting all of those criteria together…so my scope was fairly limited.” Through his research, Woodward knew that the Richvalley location was a good bet, but without testing, it was still just a hopeful dream. To test the location, he sank 23 diamond-tipped coring drills hundreds of feet into the earth. “I knew there was a good possibility that this rock was close to the surface, but it wasn’t sure, and it wasn’t until I actually sunk the cores and spent the money that I realized it was there,” said Woodward. “It was a very happy day when it paid off. I spent a substantial amount of my own personal money before I even knew if it was there, so it’s one of those stories where you risk it all and it pays off. I got fortunate that it worked out for me.” The news only got better from there. When the Louisville limestone was tested, Woodward found out
that the rock in this particular location was twice as strong as typical limestone. In fact, the sample Woodward sent to be tested turned out to be the strongest limestone tested in the world from a compression perspective. This would play a key role in the success of his most recent project, underground mining. In addition to broadening West Plains’ product selection with a second type of stone, the underground operation allows Woodward to mine in areas where an open pit would be impossible – underneath his processing plant and the business office. Two hundred and eighteen feet below the surface, at the bottom of one of the quarry’s two open pits are three tunnels. Through the entrance, a grid of tunnels has been carved through the Louisville layer. While the open pit quarry may conjure images of the town of Bedrock, made famous by the Flintstones, the manmade caverns underground, looking something like the inside of a stone cathedral, are reminiscent of the mines of Moria from the film adaptation of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. To “dig” into the l i m e s t o n e , Woodward’s crew uses explosives. While some worry about the effect that the blasts have on the surrounding area, Woodward says they don’t need to. Along with the procedure followed for miner safety during blasts, or “shooting,” as they call it, a seismograph is set up to measure each explosion. “It’s not nearly as dramatic as people think. People think there’s rock flying everywhere and the earth’s shaking. You have to be a 2 on the Richter scale before you do any damage to homes or anything like that, and the highest reading we’ve ever gotten here is a 0.3,” said Woodward. “If you’re standing right next to it, ya, you can feel it, but it’s not like it’s radiating out throughout the whole countryside.” With open pit mining, Woodward’s crew drills vertically 52 feet deep at a time, filling
the 6-inch holes with ANFO, a mining explosive. When mining underground, the holes are drilled horizontally, 16 feet at a time, into the stone walls. Woodward compares the process to peeling through a loaf of bread one slice at a time. The result is a series of massive tunnels and pillars. “When people think tunnels, they think small little tunnels. They think we’re crawling through here,” said Woodward. “These are big tunnels. We call the ceiling our back. The back height is 28 feet tall, so you could play football in it. We drive big machines and everything in it.” C u r r e n t l y, Woodward’s crew is “shooting the floors,” blasting further into the earth. By next month, the back height will be up to 56 feet. Supporting the ground above is a series of pillars carved out of the existing rock. The square pillars are on a grid system; every 45 feet, there is a 35-foot by 35-foot pillar. The crew leaves another pillar 45 feet to the north, south, east and west. West Plains is one of six underground mines in Indiana, but theirs is unique. The superior strength of the rock in this location allows for bigger openings between each. “Those mines are on a 40 by 40 spacing. They’re much smaller and they only get about 73 percent recovery, but since our rock is so much stronger, they could open the spacing out, and that’s a benefit, obviously, because
now we [get] about another 9 percent recovery,” said Woodward. “So 82 percent of that rock, we get out. Theoretically, those pillars could be 10 by 10 feet and still hold everything up, but due to federal regulations, we have to leave a 600 percent safety factor.” Aiding in the effort to keep the ceiling structurally sound are 6-foot ceiling bolts, which secure the exposed layer of limestone to the layers above. Wabash local and Northfield graduate Garrett Kline drilled each one of the thousands of bolts into the ceiling. “The number one safety rule in underground mining is that you don’t have to worry about skin cancer,” Kline joked before inserting another bolt. “There’s obviously a lot more that goes into mine safety. Employees undergo 80 hours of training before they can work the mine, and there’s a strict protocol that has to be followed; every person entering the mine has to have a hard hat, light, identification, and a selfrescuer, which is an emergency breathing apparatus. The need for these, however, is very rare. “We’re under the same standards as coal, and as a result, we have to follow all of the same guidelines, even though our industry is one of the safest industries in the nation from a man-hour worked perspective,” said Woodward. “People have this perception, [since] you hear about coal mine disasters all the time, that we’re
the same way. We’re not. We don’t have any kind of gasses, and coal is inherently soft, so you have roof falls. We’re in hard rock.” Despite being underground, the mine is a comfortable work environment. It stays at 52 degrees year-round. “It’s a nice temperature,” said Kline. “When it gets really hot out and you come out of the underground, sometimes you kind of get nauseous from the temperature change,” said Woodward. To make the tunnels easy to navigate, Woodward named them using the county road system. Each “street,” as he calls them, is given a number and direction. “Right now, we’re at 6 North and 5 West, so there’s about 30 tunnels, and they’re all interconnected,” said Woodward. Woodward has worked at other sites where the roads were named after employees, but this can get confusing. Currently, it would be pretty easy to find your way out of the mine without the numbering system, but eventually the grid will contain hundreds of tunnels and 85 acres of open space. This is where the system becomes valuable. “No matter where you are in the mine, even if you’re at 37 West and 15 North, all you have to do is go to 0,0 and you’re going to get out, so you’ll never get lost,” said Woodward.
The result of all of the pits and tunnels is two types of stone crushed to various sizes to create 17 unique products. Unlike the quarries in Bedford, which produce dimension rock, all the limestone at West Plains is crushed. This is due to two factors. The much younger limestone in Bedford is softer and useful for carving and constructing buildings, whereas the limestone Woodward mines is much harder. Unlike the Bedford rock, the limestone in Wabash County also contains small cracks and pressure seams, which are not ideal for dimension stone. At West Plains, trucks capable of hauling 55 tons transport stones as large as 6 feet by 6 feet to the on-site processing plant to be
crushed. “Basically all we do is we take big rocks and we crush them down and make smaller rocks out of them,” said Woodward. We separate them by size and quality; some we wash, some we don’t, but basically what we do is we take these rocks and we break them apart and chip them out. It just takes a lot of horsepower and a lot of Tonka trucks to do it. And explosives.” It takes more than 3,000 horsepower worth of electric motors to run the processing plant. The result is a variety of products; some is the size of baseballs, while others are ground to near-powder fineness. While the Mississinewa limestone is typically broken down to the (continued on page 8)

7 USDA announces support for Renewable Biomass Energy THE PAPER
www.thepaperofwabash.com
May 28, 2014
Biomass producers and energy facilities soon can apply for qualification in Renewed Biomass Crop Assistance Program
mass materials into clean energy. The support comes through the Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP), which was reauthorized by the 2014 Farm Bill and will resume this summer. The Farm Bill authorizes $25 million annually for BCAP, requiring between 10 and 50 percent of the total funding to be
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) today announced support for agriculture producers and energy facilities working to turn renewable bio-
used for harvest and transportation of biomass residues. Traditional food and feed crops are ineligible for assistance. The 2014 Farm Bill also enacted several modifications for BCAP, including higher incentives for socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers, and narrower biomass qualifications for matching payments,
among other changes. “This initiative helps farmers and ranchers manage the financial risk of growing and harvesting energy biomass at commercial scale,” said Farm Service A g e n c y Administrator, Juan M. Garcia. “Investing in agricultural and forestry producers who cultivate energy biomass and support-
ing next-generation biofuels facilities make America more energy independent, help combat climate change and create jobs in rural America.” BCAP employs three types of biomass assistance. For growing new biomass, BCAP provides financial assistance with 50 percent of the cost of establishing a peren-
transporting the materials to the enduse facility. “For forest residues, this year’s matching payments are targeted for energy generation while reducing fire, insect and disease threats on Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management lands,” said Garcia. “Agriculture residues for energy are also eli-
nial crop. To maintain the crop as it matures until harvest, BCAP provides an annual payment for up to five years for herbaceous crops, or up to 15 years for woody crops. To collect existing agriculture or forest residues that are not economically retrievable, BCAP provides matching payments for mitigating the cost of harvesting and

Seven years after breaking ground, West Plains Mining is still digging... continued from page 5

In addition to crusing the stone, the processing plant separates the stone into piles by size. One day, the field to the left of the plant will be opened up for mining as well.

coarse sizes, the Louisville limestone has a much wider variety of sizes and uses. It is the stone’s calcium content that makes this limestone so useful. “This is very localized,” said Woodward. “I’ve looked at cores 4-5 miles away and it’s not high in calcium, so that was a nice find. It was a “eureka” moment, because it was just one of those things; it was unexpected.” When crushed into fine powder, the Louisville limestone is sold all over the Midwest as agricultural lime, which farmers spread on fields to neutralize the soil. “The easiest way to equate it is when your stomach is too acidic, you take a Tums,” said Woodward. “Tums is nothing but calcium carbonate. Go back to high school chemistry class…your stomach is too acidic, you put a base in there, which is calcium, and it neutralizes it.” Another product made and sold by West Plains is the kitty-litter-sized stone sold to power plants. Coal scrubbing is a process by which power plant exhaust is treated and cleaned. The calcium in the limestone bonds to the sulfur in the stacks and it falls to the bottom, removing it from the air. People use a lot of limestone. In addition to these products and the gravel used in a variety of ways, limestone is used to make concrete and asphalt. Woodward said the average American uses 12-13 tons of crushed stone, directly or indirectly, each year. At full capacity, the mine can achieve an output of 6,000 tons per day, or 25 semi loads per hour. Woodward experienced a full circle moment two years into the operation when his first boss in the industry, who hired him at age 13, began buying stone from West Plains. While the company currently has just a single site, Woodward left open the possibility of additional mines in the future. “If the economy warrants it and the locations are available, then yes,” said Woodward. “I mean, my goal in life is not to accumulate a pile of wealth, but to actually build something and see something grow. I’m not an imperialist by any means, but I just love to see something like this, which was literally just a thought in my head one night – to provide jobs and create something, to outthink a competitor, and
to find something that no one else found is a really rewarding and gratifying feeling. I guess it’s kind of addicting, because once you do one, you’re like, ‘well, I want to do another one. “And it’s fun. I mean, it’s fun to see our guys and girls get married and buy houses and stuff, and to think that my idea created these jobs for these people…it’s kind of fun and rewarding from that perspective.” West Plains currently employs 14 people, all area locals. In addition, 60% of the company’s money stays in Wabash County. The other 40% is spent on things like explosives and heavy equipment that are not available locally. Eventually, West Plains will mine the magnesiumrich Salamonie stone, but they haven’t gotten that deep yet. Woodward said that if they mined at full capacity, the underground mine reserves would last another 13 years, but at current production levels, it will likely take 25-30 years. In total, the property contains 160 million tons of limestone, enough keep the mine running for 70 years. When the operation is complete and the pumps are turned off, the groundwater, which is currently pumped out of the quarry, will fill the pits and caves. If the pumps were shut off today, it would take less than a week for the quarry to completely fill with water. “We have 349 feet of stone, so it’ll be a pretty big hole once it’s all said and done. We’ll have about a 200 acre lake here, and then you’ll have all of these underwater caverns down there someday 200 feet down. But frankly, I probably won’t see it in my lifetime,” said Woodward. “With the capital expenditure we had to do, it better be long-term. So unless I’m selling a bunch of rock, which would be a great thing, I probably won’t see it in my lifetime. We’re a long-term thing here.” As far as the immediate future is concerned, the miners will continue to expand both the underground and aboveground mines. Their current efforts to shoot the underground floor will allow Woodward to move the processing plant underground by this time next year. “Overall, the community has been a great support,” he said. “I honestly couldn’t ask for better support from a community or neighborhood perspective.”

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: A MINER DRILLS HOLES in the floor, which will soon be filled with explosives and blasted, doubling the mine’s ceiling height. The floor in the foreground was blasted the week before. 35 x 35-FOOT PILLARS support the ground above the underground mine. Orange paint lets the miners know what street they’re on and the direction of the exit. A WORKER can be seen at the bottom of an open pit in front of the underground entrance. The distinctive seam in the rock just above the entrance is where the Mississinewa layer meets the Louisville. VIEWED FROM ABOVE, it’s easy to see the scale of the operation. Eventually, the underground mine will continue under the processing plant and beyond. Old U.S. 24 can be seen to the left (north) of the mine. WILL WOODWARD explains the rock layers in the open pit.

THE PAPER 10 Donnelly introduces Jacob Sexton Military Suicide Prevention Act of 2014 www.thepaperofwabash.com
Dear editor, The number of servicemen and women we lose to suicide on a yearly basis is staggering. In 2012 and 2013, we lost more young men and women to suicide than in combat. In 2012, 522 service members took their own lives, and in 2013, that number declined modestly to 470. The numbers for 2013 also indicate that suicides among members of the National Guard rose to a record high. And now, just five months into 2014, military leaders have already publicly expressed concern over an unprecedented spike in suicide
May 28, 2014
rates so far this year. This is unacceptable and demands a response. There is no single solution to preventing military suicide, but there are steps that can be taken to address these appalling statistics. That is why I recently introduced the bipartisan Jacob Sexton Military Suicide Prevention Act of 2014. I am proud to work with my friend Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS) on this legislation which would have an immediate impact on our service members struggling with mental health issues and ensure that they receive the help they
need before it’s too late. The Sexton Act is named after Indiana National Guardsman Jacob Sexton, a native of Farmland, who at 21 years of age took his life while home on a 15-day leave from Afghanistan in 2009. Jacob’s story, like the story of so many other service members, should inspire all of us to do what we can to end this scourge once and for all. Our new legislation builds on our efforts last year when we introduced the Jacob Sexton Military Suicide Prevention Act of 2013. After receiving feedback
from the Department of Defense (DoD), suicide prevention organizations, and directly from service members, we decided to make updates and improvements, resulting in the Sexton Act of 2014. Our new bill would build upon the previous efforts to improve how the military identifies potential mental health concerns in service members and provide treatment for these men and women
before it’s too late. The Sexton Act of 2014 would require assessments for all service members whether they are Active, Reserve, or Guard. Right now, the best and most consistent screening is happening only for those within the deployment cycle and leaves members of the National Guard and Reserve underserved. The Sexton Act of 2014 would also establish a working group
between the DoD and Department of Health and Human Services to improve mental health services for the National Guard and Reserve, as those service members often rely on civilian health insurance and providers. In addition, a reporting requirement would be instilled to evaluate existing military mental health practices and provide recommendations for improvement.
Senator Wicker and I will be working nonstop with our colleagues on both sides of the aisle to see the provisions of the bipartisan Jacob Sexton Act of 2014 signed into law. It is an honor to work on behalf of our service members, veterans, you, and all Hoosiers throughout Indiana.

Hale appalled by stolen monument arrangements Dear editor, I was going to visit my father’s gravesite along with my mother, who resides in a nursing home and rarely is able to go to the cemetery, at Falls Cemetery, Wabash. I was there the previous week in which I
placed two custom made silk arrangements on his monument. I was appalled when I drove up and saw there was nothing on his monument. I was heartsick to tears. I cannot believe someone would stoop so low as
to take flowers from there. Whoever you are needs to be ashamed of yourself. If you are an adult, shame on you. If you are kids, don’t you have anything better to do than this, and where were your parents? Certainly this
was not done in the daytime. Since this happened, I have heard from two other families that their flowers were also taken. So very sad. Mary Hipskind Hale Fort Wayne

Stirring it up With Angie Baer Our daughter was married last Saturday in an old historic round barn in Wabash County. Most of our guests were from out of town and had never been to Wabash before. The one thing Dave and I heard over and over throughout the evening was what an awesome place Wabash is. I couldn’t agree with them more. I must say that I was bursting with pride to call Wabash home. We are so very blessed to live in such a wonderful community. When my Daughter became engaged last summer, I had the crazy notion that I would love to do all of the catering myself. As wedding plans progressed, I realized that I needed to hire a professional caterer. (Such a wise decision. I chuckle to think that I could actually pull that off. ) Although I didn’t prepare the entree, I did, however, bake twenty loaves of lemon poppy seed bread for an appetizer. The trick to making this bread is to spoon the lemon icing over the bread while it is still warm from the oven allowing all of that sweet goodness to soak into the bread.

Historical Society to present “Russia in My Life” by Shirley Glade “Blame it on Sputnik,” is what Shirley Glade says when she sums up the direction her life’s work has taken. When the Russians were the first to launch an earthorbiting satellite on Oct. 4, 1957, the United States became absorbed with the need to catch up in math, science, and languages. Shirley’s study of the Russian language led to a career studying Russian religious and folk art, 10 visits to the Soviet
Union/Russia, and numerous publications and presentations in US and international settings. The program will take place at 6:40 p.m. on Monday, June 9, in the Assembly Room at Timbercrest Senior Living Community, 2201 East Street. Glade, who lives and grew up in North Manchester, will trace what she calls “a chain of serendipities” in her life. Her program will focus on the people she met, their specialties
such as icon preservation, and historical Russian architecture and restorations. Along the way, she’ll tell how she and her husband Henry were denied visas in the 1970’s since they were considered to be possible spies who aided political dissidents— experiences that are relevant today as USRussian relations have heated up again over events in the Ukraine. Glade is a graduate of Manchester University, who also studied Russian,
Soviet Foreign Policy, and Russian Intellectual History at Yale, the University of Michigan, and the University of Illinois. She pursued studies in Art History at the University of Wisconsin and Notre Dame. She has presented papers in Moscow, Washington D. C. and Cambridge, England. Many of us know her as the organizer of the Friends of the Library book sales twice a year in North Manchester.
The public is also invited to come to the Assembly Room at 6 p.m. for a meal prior to the program.

Norse hold off Knights in Metro Showdown
by Gary Andrews The Northfield and Southwood baseball teams were both at the top of the TRC standings, so Monday’s match up was a critical game for each team in their hopes of winning the conference. In a game that shifted momentum several times the Norse held off the Knights 6-5. Southwood threatened in the top of the first when Jackson Blair led off the game drawing a walk. Blair was bunted to second by Nathan Hollars before a line drive to shortstop Adam Roser made it two outs. Christian Deeter then drew the second walk of the inning, but Norse pitcher Shane Vigar recorded a strike out to end the threat. Southwood pitcher Clay Hinrichsen shut down the Norse in order in the first. The Knights would
threaten again in the second, loading the bases with no outs. Brandin Frazier walked and was followed by an Aaron Kelly single. Zach Ball would then lay down a perfect bunt to load the bases before Vigar settled down, forcing a pop up before striking out the next two. Again Hinrichsen set the Norse down in order as the game headed for the third with no score. Christian Deeter would break the ice in the third. With one out Deeter hit a shot over the left center fence to put Southwood up 1-0. Jacob Lloyd hit a one out single and with two outs Kelly reached on a Norse error, but one run was all the Knights could manufacture. The Norse answered in a big way in the bottom of the inning. With one out Brad Bever singled and was fol-

THE PAPER

May 28, 2014
Backyard barbecues and pool parties are staples of summer. Such festive events with family and friends create memories that last a lifetime. But as enjoyable as such gettogethers can be, many are not terribly eco-friendly, an unfortunate reality that can take a heavy toll on the planet. Reducing summer party waste is not very difficult. Ecoconscious hosts can take several steps to reduce the carbon footprint of summer party season. *Serve guests using reusable kitchenware. Though a backyard barbecue may seem like the perfect time to pull out the paper plates and plastic cups, such items are wasteful. Hosts might have to do a little extra work, but serving guests using reusable kitchenware can make any pool party more ecofriendly. Such items can be reused again and again all season long. And hosts don’t need to use the fine china, opting for plastic plates and cups instead. Such items are dishwasherfriendly; meaning the only extra work hosts have to do is load and unload the dishwasher. *Don’t go overboard with main items. Many hosts know that they are bound to have some leftover hamburgers and hot dogs after everyone goes home for the night. Those leftovers
often end up going to waste. Instead of making too many items that can’t be enjoyed as leftovers, hosts can make more salad and pasta that might taste better the day after. In addition, such items can be sent home with guests, whereas guests are unlikely to take home burgers and franks. Hosts who find themselves with a substantial amount of leftovers should call a nearby food bank or homeless shelter to see if they accept leftovers as donations. * Organize the menu with friends. Some people feel that party etiquette dictates that guests bring something to the party. While this is a great way to relieve hosts of some of the financial burden of hosting a party, it can also produce waste if guests bring the same items. In the days before the party, hosts should contact their friends and family to make sure everyone is bringing something different. This reduces the likelihood that food will end up going to waste. *Recycle bottles and cans. Whether it’s beer, soda or water, beverages served at barbecues and pool parties tend to come in bottles or cans. To ensure a party is more eco-friendly, hosts should designate a garbage can for just bottles and cans, directing guests to discard these items in an eco-friendly way.

In an era of escalated airline ticket prices and extra travel expenses, road trips have emerged once more as a popular and cost-conscious mode of vacationing for individuals and families. Nearly 80 percent of leisure trips in 2012 were made by car, says the U.S. Travel Association. Fodor’s Travels advises taking road trips across Canada in the summer, when temperatures average 74o F (23o C) and snow and slush are a distant memory. Various trips exist that can take you through urban or rural areas. Those making road trips may be concerned about keeping costs down, particularly if saving money is the catalyst behind the road trip vacation. The following are a few tips to stretch dol-
lars that much further on your next road trip. *Dine out sparingly. Road stops and drivethru food expenditures can quickly add up during the course of a road trip. Therefore, pack the majority of the food you will eat in a cooler. Not only will this save money, it will mean food is at the ready when hunger strikes. Food need not be all cold snacks, like sandwiches. Frozen burgers or refrigerated frankfurters can be cooked on a camp stove or tossed on a grill at a park’s picnic area. Save restaurant dining as a special treat during the vacation. *Look for inexpensive lodging. While on a road trip you may need to compromise some of the comforts of home to save some money.

which filling stations offer the best prices on gasoline. *Don’t speed. In addition to being illegal, speeding wastes gas. Stick to the speed limit to avoid potentially costly tickets and improve fuel efficiency. *Bring friends along. Friends will not only make the trip more fun, but they also can take turns driving and sharing the costs of the excursion. *Join a roadside assistance club. Vehicle problems are inevitable if you are a frequent road-tripper who’s driving an older car. Avoid potentially costly towing costs by joining a roadside assistance
club that will pay for your vehicle to be towed if necessary. *Have the proper paperwork. Keep a current copy of your car registration, license and proof of insurance with you on a road trip. This makes it much easier to deal with traffic stops along the way. Individuals and their passengers planning on visiting another country should have their passports available and follow the laws regarding bringing food or goods over the border to avoid fines.

Some also like to plan road trip routes between where relatives live and make pit stops at a friend or family member’s home. When seeking motels, try to bargain and see if you’re eligible for any rebates or coupons due to age or military status. *Map out cheaper gas stations.

Frances Slocum Chapter of DAR holds monthly meeting The monthly meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) took place on May 13 at the Grandstaff-Hentgen Activity Room. DAR has approved new memberships for Kie Ann Kirk and Lois Paullus Smock. Recently the front entrance at Constitution Hall was enhanced with stain glass panels donated by the Atlanta Chapter. Each chapter is strongly encouraged to become a commemorative partner of the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War and to express their appreciation to the veterans of the war as well as to their families. Barbara Amiss shared the National Defender report on the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). When the United States needs eyes and ears in critical places where no human can reach—be it over the most rugged terrain or through the most hostile territory—it turns to the NRO.

Frances Slocum Chapter of DAR holds monthly meeting... continued from page 23 ernment agency in charge of designing, building, launching, and maintaining America’s intelligence satellites. Whether creating the latest innovations in satellite technology, contracting with the most cost-efficient industrial supplier, conducting rigorous launch schedules, or providing the highestquality products to their customers, they never lose focus on who they are working to protect: the nation and its citizens. The NRO, one of 16 I n t e l l i g e n c e Community agencies, was officially established in September 1961 as a classified agency in the Department of Defense. The existence of the NRO and its mission were declassified in September 1992. With
its vigilance from above, the NRO gives America’s policy makers, intelligence analysts, warfighters and homeland security specialists the critical information they need to keep America safe, secure, and free. Doris Sutton, Northern District Director, gave the program on the American Flag. For more than 200 years, the American flag has been the symbol of our nation’s strength and unity. The “Stars and Stripes” is the most popular name for the red, white, and blue national flag of the United States. The Stars and Stripes stands for the land, the people, the government, and the ideals of the United States, no matter when or where it is displayed.
At the start of the Revolutionary War, Americans fought under many different flags. The first American flags were made out of hemp. The origin of the stars and stripes design is inadequately documented. The apocryphal story credits Betsy Ross for sewing the first flag from a pencil sketch handed to her by George Washington. No evidence for this exists; indeed, nearly a century had passed before Ross’ grandson, William Canby, first publicly suggested it. It is clear the Francis Hopkinson of New Jersey, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, designed the 1777 flag while he was the Chairman of the Continental Navy Board’s Middle
because it was determined he had already received a salary as a member of Congress, and he was not the only person to have contributed to the design. The design of the flag has been modified 26 times officially since 1777. The 48star flag was in effect for 47 years until Alaska and Hawaii were being considered for statehood in the 1950’s. The 50-star flag was ordered by President Eisenhower on August 21, 1959. The proposal created by 17-year-old Robert G. Heft in 1958 as a school project received the most publicity. His mother
Department, sometime between his appointment to the position in November 1776 and the time that the flag resolution was adopted in June 1777. This contradicts the Betsy Ross legend, which suggests that she sewed the first Stars and Stripes flag by request of the government in the spring of 1776. Hopkinson was the only person to have made such a claim during his own lifetime, when he sent a bill to Congress for his work. He asked for a “Quarter Cask of the Public Wine” as payment initially. The payment was not made, however,
zontal stripes, seven red alternating with six white. The stripes represent the original 13 colonies; the stars represent the 50 states of the Union. The colors of the flag are symbolic as well: Red s y m b o l i z e s Handiness and Valor, White symbolizes Purity and Innocence and Blue represents V i g i l a n c e , Perseverance and Justice. The next regular meeting will take place on Saturday, June 14 at the Main View Inn Party Room, North Manchester at 11:30 a.m. for the annual June celebration.
Historic Preservation Month celebrated in North Manchester May is National Historic Preservation Month, and the North Manchester Historic Homes Preservation Group celebrated on May 13 with a special program for North Manchester residents and Indiana Landmarks members.

was a seamstress, but refused to do any of the work for him. He originally received a B- for the project. After discussing the grade with his teacher, it was agreed (somewhat jokingly) that if the flag was accepted by Congress, the grade would be reconsidered. Heft’s flag design was chosen and adopted by presidential proclamation after Alaska and before Hawaii was admitted into the Union in 1959. According to Heft, his teacher did keep to their agreement and changed his grade to an A for the project. Today the flag consists of thirteen hori-
with audience members about their own vintage homes. Those not wishing a consultation went on to the next part of the program, a tour of the HHPG’s two latest restoration efforts in North Manchester. The house at 404 W. Second Street is well on its way to being restored. The house at 110 N. Mill Street has also been acquired by HHPG and was open to visitors. Most residents know it at the house at the corner of Mill and Second that has been vacant for years; half of it was painted yellow at one time.

AT NORTHFIELD HIGH SCHOOL ON MAY 26, 1964, students and buses left school early because of a storm warning. It was the last day of school for the 1963/1964 school year. A few minutes after the buses had departed, a tornado hit the school and blew the roof off the auditorium. On a personal note, Mary Ann Mast was teaching at Northfield when this happened and clearly remembers coming across the open walk from the auditorium to the office just before the tornado hit.

THE PAPER

How to honor servicemen and women Men and women serving in the military make considerable sacrifices in defense of the United States and its citizens. Such sacrifices can easily be taken for granted by those with no friends or family members serving in the military, but it’s important for all Americans to recognize the efforts of both active and veteran servicemen and women. Honoring active military members and veterans does not have to be an elaborate undertaking. Service members and
their families often cherish even the simplest of gestures, and the following are a handful of ways grateful men and women can show their appreciation to active and retired members of the military. *Help a neighbor who’s on active duty. Active duty service members can be away from their families for long periods of time, and their absence can make things difficult for their families. Spouses of deployed service members are typically left to manage a household on
their own for months at a time. Neighbors can show their appreciation by helping with some chores around the house. Offer to mow a neighbor’s lawn or drive a neighbor’s kids to school. Such gestures might seem small, but they can go a long way toward alleviating some of the stress that spouses of deployed service members deal with on a daily basis. *Support the Wounded Warrior Project. Many service members sustain physical injuries while deployed. The
Wounded Warrior Project works to raise awareness and enlist the public’s help to address the needs of injured service members. Men and women who want to show their appreciation to injured service members can work with the Wounded Warrior Project by volunteering at project-sponsored events or hosting fundraising events such as golf tournaments or community picnics. More information about working with the Wounded Warrior Project is available at
w w w. wo u n d e dw a r riorproject.org. *Write a letter of appreciation. One of the simplest ways to show your support for service members is to write them a letter expressing that appreciation. If a friends, relatives or neighbors are active service members or veterans, sit down and write a letter telling them how much you appreciate their sacrifice in service of their country, and encourage youngsters to do the same. If you don’t know any members of the military, you can work with A Million
Thanks (www.amillionthanks.org), a year-round campaign that encourages Americans to write letters or emails or send cards or prayers to U.S. military personnel, past and present to thank them for their sacrifices, dedication and service. *Exercise your right to vote. One of the best ways to honor servicemen and women is to avoid taking the rights they so bravely defend for granted. Members of the military routinely put their lives on the line so Americans can enjoy freedoms that
many people across the globe cannot. Voting is one such freedom, so Americans should make it a point to vote every ElectionDay and teach their kids about the responsibility each American has to vote and take an interest in their government. Speak with active and veteran members of the military about their thoughts on proposed legislation and their opinions on how to improve that legislation, taking those opinions into consideration before casting your vote.
Things to consider before choosing a summer camp Though February does not often elicit images of youngsters building campfires or playing games in the pool, the month more synonymous with the Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day is a great time for parents to start thinking about summer camps for their kids. Summer camp is often something kids look forward to, and something they will fondly recall long after they reach adulthood. For many kids, summer camp provides a first taste of independence, as youngsters spend significant time away from home without their parents for the first time in their lives. But as great an
experience as summer camp can be for youngsters, it can be just as difficult an experience if parents don’t find the right fit for their children. That’s why it behooves parents to start thinking about summer camps for their kids in winter, before camps start filling out their rosters, which tends to happen in early spring. The following are a few things parents should take into consideration when seeking a summer camp for their kids. Staff The right summer camp staff can make all the difference. Many children are understandably shy when arriving at a
summer camp, as their friends from back home might not be joining them. That can make kids hesitant to participate in activities or less enthusiastic about those activities. But a good staff will know how to make kids feel welcome, which should help them come out of their shells and make the most of their summer camp experiences. The quality of staffs can vary significantly depending on the camp, so it’s important that parents ask camp representatives about their staffs before making any commitments. Ask how long the staff has been together and the types of training new
and even veteran staff members undergo before the start of camp season? Does the training include first aid and emergency medical training and certification? It’s also good to ask about the vetting process the camp employs before hiring new staff, including the extent of its background checks. Are criminal background checks conducted? How many references must potential staff members supply to be considered for employment? A good camp will be forthcoming with answers to all of your questions, so eliminate those that appear hesitant to share information about their
staffs. A day in the life When vetting camps for kids, parents should ask what a typical day is like once the season hits full swing. Many parents want their youngsters to have a well-rounded experience, while others might want their kids to attend a more specialized camp, whether it’s a sports camp focusing on a particular sport or a music camp devoted to helping kids become better musicians. Regardless of the type of camp parents are considering for their kids, they should ask about what daily life at the camp is like. Ask to see schedules and
how strictly camps adhere to those schedules. When considering specialized camps, ask the staff representative if kids will have the chance to simply have a little fun and which types of recreational activities are planned to give kids a break from what are often rigorous schedules. Camp goals Another thing parents must consider before choosing a summer camp for their kids is the goals of each individual camp. A camp should be dedicated to ensuring kids have fun, even when kids are attending more specialized camps that tend to be more strict. In addition, parents
should look for a camp that wants its attendees to foster relationships with their fellow campers. Camp can be lonely for some youngsters, especially those attending summer camp for the first time, but a summer camp that strives to promote friendship among its campers can reduce, if not eliminate, any feelings of homesickness. Late winter is when parents should start looking at summer camps for their kids, and there are a host of factors moms and dads should take into consideration during the vetting process to ensure their youngsters have as much fun as possible.
Tips for helping teens learn to drive
Few parents look forward to the day when they must teach their teenager to drive a car. Handing over the keys to a teenager and then riding shotgun as he or she learns the basics is hardly a recipe for a stress-free afternoon, but it’s a part of life many parents must endure sooner or later, and it’s a rite of passage for their children. While it’s likely your son or daughter will not be a great driver from the get-go, there are ways parents can make the process of teaching their teen to drive less stressful and more likely to be a success. * Utilize an empty parking lot as a classroom. Empty parking lots are great places to teach teens to drive.
In an empty parking lot, teens can practice skills like turning or braking without the risk of running into another driver. This gives kids the feel of a vehicle and an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the vehicle’s controls, including those for turn signals and headlights. Find an empty parking lot that is large, such as one outside a closed grocery store or a nearby school when school is not in session. * Find a less-traveled road to practice more subtle driving skills. Once your teen has become familiar with the vehicle, a good next step is to find a back road or a road without heavy traffic where he or she can learn more subtle driving skills
that might be difficult to learn in a parking lot. Coming to a stop, maintaining a safe distance between vehicles, accelerating and decelerating on roadways and learning to share the road with pedestrians and/or cyclists are all valuable lessons that can be learned on a back road without heavy traffic. * Some lessons are best learned on the freeway. Some skills, including changing lanes and merging into traffic, are best learned on the freeway or highway. Teens will eventually take to the highway once they get their driver’s license, so it’s best to teach them how to handle using on and off ramps and learning to yield when entering a high-
way so they’re comfortable with such driving and don’t have to teach themselves. * Teach kids to anticipate other drivers. Anticipating other drivers is a lesson even some veteran adult drivers must learn, much less teen drivers with little or no experience driving. When teaching teenagers to drive, emphasize how difficult it can be to anticipate other drivers’ maneuvers and how defensive driving techniques are designed to help drivers predict what other drivers will do in order to protect themselves from drivers who might be unpredictable. Teach teens to keep an eye out for drivers routinely switching lanes with-
out signaling and tell them to be mindful of other drivers when they pull up to a stop sign. Teens who will become good drivers will eventually find such techniques are second nature, but initially parents should instruct them in the ways to anticipate the behavior of other drivers so the teens can stay safe on the road. * Practice driving at different times of the day. Taking teens out to drive at different times of the day can teach them that road conditions, even when the weather is nice, vary depending on the amount of light. Driving at dusk and dawn, for instance, can be difficult because glare from the sun can decrease visibility and head-
lights might not provide much help. Like learning to drive on the highway, learning to drive at various times of the day is a valuable lesson that kids should learn with their parents in tow and not on their own after they have received their driver’s
license.

A brief history of Memorial Day FFW Corporation declares cash dividend
Though many people are quick to refer to Memorial Day as the unofficial beginning of summer, the day is much more than that. Initially known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day is a day to remember those military members who died in service to the country. The origins of Memorial Day remain a topic of debate. In
1966, President Lyndon Johnson declared Waterloo, N.Y. as the official birthplace of Memorial Day. However, the roots of Memorial Day likely run much deeper, as researchers at Duke University note that during the Civil War, organized women’s groups in the south had begun to decorate the graves of fallen
soldiers. Memorial Day as we know it today can likely be traced to Charleston, S.C., where teachers, missionaries and some members of the press gathered on May 1, 1865 to honor fallen soldiers. During the Civil War, captured Union soldiers were held at the Charleston Race Course and hundreds died during cap-

tivity. Upon their deaths, soldiers were buried in unmarked graves. When the Civil War ended, the May Day gathering was organized as a memorial to all the men who had died during captivity. The burial ground was landscaped, and those freed as a result of the Civil War played an integral role in the event at the Charleston Race Course. While the event in Charleston might have been the first Memorial Day-type celebration in the southern United States, General John A. Logan is often cited as inspiring similar events in the North. As commander-inchief of the Grand Army of the Republic, a veterans’ organization for men who served in the Civil War, General Logan issued a proclamation just five days after the Charleston event that called for Decoration Day to be observed annually across the country. Logan pre-
ferred the event not be held on the anniversary of any particular battle, and thus the day was observed for the first time on May 30. Celebrating the day in May also was significant to event organizers because May is a month when flowers are in bloom, making it easier for observers of the holiday to place flowers on the graves of fallen soldiers. In 1868, events were held at more than 180 cemeteries in 27 states, and those figures nearly doubled in 1869. By 1890, every northern state officially recognized Decoration Day as a state holiday. Southern states honored their dead on a different day until after World War I, when the holiday was changed to recognize Americans who died in any war and not just the Civil War. Nearly every state now celebrates Memorial Day, a name for the holiday first used in 1882, on the last Monday in May.
