Research Train Set rolls through Miami County If you happened to be near the railroad tracks running through Peru March 22, you may have noticed something a little different rolling by. To be exact, it was a Research (track geometry) Train Set. The set is burgundy in color with features unique to what is normally observed on the rails. The set includes the NS Research No. 34 platform which has a different shape to it but similar to an engine of today. Behind the platform is the NS Research car, No. 33. The back end of car has a large, glass window. Both are pulled by a locomotive/engine that most are familiar with when referring to style/color. The job of a Research Train Set is to keep the rails safe. According to an article written by the late Russ McDaniel, former Norfolk Southern Director of Process Improvement, Research and Tests, the NS 34 has many components used to acquire information. McDaniel wrote “A NS 34 is a former locomotive slug used for testing track geometry. The vehicle is ballasted to elicit a response from the track similar to that of a loaded car or locomotive. An inertial package with a laser/camera system is mounted on one of the trucks to measure irregularities in track geometry and to acquire data on rail wear. A high-resolution machine vision system also acquires
data on rail surface and crosstie/fastener condition. The cab was added to house the computers, control equipment, and a GPS system. NS 34 also contains a generator that powers its onboard systems, as well as the converted coach, NS 33, to which NS 34 is mated. NS 33 has monitors that display the data acquired by the sensors and measuring devices on NS 34, and NS 33 also was recently equipped with a rotating laser to measure and evaluate clearances, ballast profiles, and track centers. NS 33 has a galley and theater seating looking toward a large back picture window for track, bridge, and signal supervisors who ride in the car. NS is outfitting a second track geometry consist (coach NS 36 and former NS locomotive 38) that will be configured similarly to NS 33/34. NS expects the new consist to be in service by the end of first-quarter See Train, Page 2

2009. Norfolk Southern’s Research and Tests Department operate NS 33 and 34 to test track for the engineering department. The data the cars produce pinpoint track defects (which are quickly repaired) and are important for preventing accidents and planning routine and system maintenance work. The track parameters it measures include gauge (the distance between the rails), curvature, cross level (the difference in height between rails in curves), cant (the outward flexing of the rails), and other characteristics critical to safe operations. The system also measures the amount of steel worn off the topand gauge-faces of the rails. NS 34 was originally Norfolk & Western SD35 No. 1530, which General Motors built in 1965. The East End Locomotive Shops rebuilt it in 1977 as a road slug, model RPE6, and renumbered it 9921, then 9951. NS put the slug into storage in 1993, then rebuilt it in 1998 to carry the track measuring system for Research and Tests. NS 33, built by Pullman Standard in 1950, began service as a Union Pacific coach. In 1971, UP sold it to the Alaska Railroad, which renumbered it 5441. Alaska Railroad retired 5441 in 1987 and sold it to St. Louis Car. NS bought the car in 1994 and rebuilt it at Roanoke’s East End Passenger Car Shop for the Research and Tests Department. NS put the car (now 33) in service on Aug. 9, 1999. NS 33 and 34 travel the system several times a year and test more than 18,000

Beet it! By Laura Kurella When it comes to beets there appears to be two different camps: Lovers and Haters. To be honest, I have long been a member of the latter camp. However, since their benefits are so amazing, and my husband loves them, I have come around, and realized that all of us, both lovers and haters, need to add the benefit of beets into our lives wherever and however we can! Coming to us from the Middle Ages, beets have a long history as a food, a medicinal plant, and as a colorant, too. Possessing antiaging properties, beets contain vitamin A, beets, which improves skin health, and vitamin C, which protects skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation while giving your skin a more youthful glow. This is why you see vitamin C popping up in so many face creams these days. Studies reveal that beets can lower blood pressure in a matter of just four weeks thanks to special nitrates, which cause blood vessels to expand. Scientists say that consuming just 8.5 ounces of beet juice a day (one glass) is all it takes to provide a better, lower blood pressure. Studies also reveal that beets may reduce the risk of heart disease and strokes, and that just one week of regular beet juice dosing can help improve endurance. Known for helping prevent myocardial infarction, improving delivery of oxygen to muscles, and helping to prevent cancers of the breast, prostate, lung and skin, beets, when taken along with carrot extract too, can also aid in
the treatment of leukemia. Containing pectin, which helps eliminate toxins and enhance liver health, beets help improve cerebral blood flow, which helps enhance brain function. Able to help improve digestion and blood quality, decrease cholesterol levels, and help with anemia, with so many health benefits to offer, we’d be crazy not to take advantage of the many benefits there are available in beets. If you are not so fond of beets, try looking for alternative sources to get their goodness in, such as chews or gummy supplements, or even pills, which are widely available these days. You can also be brave and simply slam a glass of quality beet juice in a few gulps, followed by a more favorable chaser, if you prefer. Give your body the benefits of beets. Here now are some bold and beautiful ways to BEET it. Enjoy! Laura Kurella is an award-winning recipe developer, journalist and selfsyndicated newspaper food columnist who enjoys living in the Midwest. She welcomes your question or comments at laurakurella@yahoo.co m. Beautiful Homemade Beet Hummus Prep Time:5 minutes. Yield: 1 1/2 cups. 1 cooked beet 1 medium garlic clove, peeled 15 ounces cooked chickpeas (about 1 and 1/2 cups) 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1/4 cup tahini 3/4 teaspoon unrefined mineral sea salt 1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional)
Garnish: Cilantro, slivered or chopped pistachios or cashews (optional) Into the bowl of a food processor add the garlic and process until finely minced. Add the cooked beet, chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, salt, and puree for 1 minute. Scrape down the bowl and taste. If dry, add a little water, 1 to 2 tablespoons. Puree for 1 to 2 minutes until you arrive at a creamy consistency. Just before serving, top hummus with cilantro leaves and nuts, if desired. Serve with veggies, pita bread, or crackers. Stores refrigerated for 7 to 10 days. Beefy Borscht (Russian Beet Soup) STOCK 1/2 pound beef chuck with the bone, well rinsed 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 large onion, coarsely chopped 1 large carrot, coarsely chopped 2 celery ribs, coarsely chopped 2 quarts beef or chicken bone broth SOUP 1-pound beets, trimmed and peeled 3 large carrots, trimmed and peeled 1/4 head of green cabbage, shredded 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and sliced 2 large onions, diced 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 tablespoon sugar Salt and pepper, to taste Sour cream and lemon wedges, to taste For stock, in a Dutch oven or stock pot over mediumhigh heat, add oil then sear beef until caramelized, on both sides. Add chopped onion, stirring, and sear until onions begin to caramelize, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add prepared carrots and celery, stir, and sear for two minutes
Offering a captivating color, even hummus can be enhanced by the beauty, and benefits, of beets! Photographer: Laura Kurella then add broth. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer, and gently cook, skimming the top surface for about 30 minutes, or until impurities no longer appear. Cover pot and simmer for one hour or until meat falls off the bone. Transfer beef to a bowl and pull meat off the bones. Chop the meat into bitesized pieces and set them aside. Strain the stock into a clean and heat proof container. Press vegetables against a screen strainer to remove as much liquid and flavor as you can. Feed remaining solids to pets or compost. To make the soup, return strained stock to the pot, add beets and carrots. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 45 minutes or until beets are tender. Remove from broth, and set aside. To broth add cabbage, onion, and potatoes. Bring it to a boil then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes
or until tender. Add tomato paste then cut cooked beets and carrots into tiny pieces and add to soup. Stir then add salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Serve in warmed bowls with a dollop of sour cream and a lemon wedge, if desired. Glorious Balsamic Glazed Beets Cook time: 1 hour, 15 minutes; Yield: 6 to 8 servings 2 pounds red beets, medium sized, scrubbed clean, green tops removed 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil Unrefined mineral sea salt, to taste 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar 2 teaspoons sugar or sub 1 teaspoon grated orange zest Freshly ground black pepper Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a jelly roll pan with parchment or foil Prepare the beets in the pan. Rub olive oil over the beets, and sprinkle with salt. Cover beets with a sheet of
parchment then foil then place in the oven and roast for 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the beets and how old they are. After 1 hour start testing every fifteen minutes by poking a beet with the tines of a fork. Once the fork tines go in easily, the beets are tender and cooked and can be removed from the oven. While the beets are cooling, in a small, shallow sauté pan, combine balsamic vinegar and sugar. Place pan over high heat, stirring, until vinegar reduces to a syrup consistency, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. After the beets have cooled for several minutes, but are still warm to the touch, peel off the outer skins and discard/compost. Cut beets into quarters or bite-sized pieces. Place beet pieces into a serving bowl then pour prepared balsamic glaze over beets. Stir in grated orange zest, then salt and pepper to
taste. Garnish with a little extra orange zest, if desired, right before serving. Easy Beet Smoothie Prep Time: 5 minutes. Yield: 2 small smoothies 1 small raw beet (about 2/3 cup peeled and diced) 1 large green apple 1 banana 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks or mango 1/2 cup water 10 ice cubes Wash, rinse and peel the raw beet, then dice it carefully because beet juice stains, and place into a blender cup. Wash and rinse the apple then core and chop and place it into a cup with beets. Break the banana into pieces, placing the pieces into a blender cup. To the blender cup add frozen pineapple, water, and ice cubes then blend until smooth. Consume immediately or store for up to one day in a sealed jar, or pour into popsicle mold and freeze to consume later as a frozen treat!

Officers assisted a male at 501 W Tenth St, Hi N Dri Court, Lot 20, Peru with locating property that was removed from his apartment while he was away over the weekend. It was determined that a new property manager recently assumed responsibility of the mobile home park and was under the impression that apartment was vacated by its tenant. All personal property was returned, and the complainant stated he was going move from the apartment. He stated it was a misunderstanding and no longer requested assistance from law enforcement. An animal problem was reported at Shaw Ave. and Schilling St, Peru. This was checked okay.
Disorderly conduct was reported at 1135 W 1000 N, Macy. A suspicious package or item was reported at S Wallick Road and W 300 S, Peru. March 22 Trespassing was reported at 12948 S U.S. 31, Lot 51 Office, Maple Lawn Village, Kokomo. A complainant at 12948 S U.S. 31, Lot 34, Maple Lawn Village, Kokomo advised that her boyfriend threatened to kill her with a knife. Male left prior to officer arrival. Female wanted to give a statement and press charges. When officers arrived on scene the female then told them that she did not
want to give a statement at this time. The officers explained to her multiple times that this was her opportunity to stop the issue and she again refused a formal statement. They advised her how to apply for a No Contact Order through the courts. A car vs. deer accident occurred at E 500 S and S St. Rd. 19, Peru. No injuries were reported. Vehicle was towed by Martins. State crash report was completed. A caller at 12948 S U.S. 31, Lot 34, Maple Lawn Village, Kokomo had questions reference a how to obtain a protective order/restraining order against his

Also went to residence, spoke with caller’s wife, and gave her options for herself and adult daughter. Caller was concerned with his daughter after earlier call to law enforcement this morning. A female at 3218 Schilling St, Peru complained that her juvenile neighbors were knocking on her door and running away. The two chil-
dren were determined to be under the age of eight. Parents advised they would resolve the issue. A complainant at 7233 S U.S. 31, Mara Mart, Bunker Hill reported that his wallet has been misplaced. He suspects that it was dropped at a gas station, and someone found it. It was explained that a crime has not taken place at this time. Officers suggested he contact all issuers of his credit cards and report them missing. If someone attempts to use the cards an in-
vestigation can be conducted. As a courtesy, officers spoke to the gas station attendant and asked if the manager could review video and report back to them if the wallet is observed. Nothing further at this time. A report of a physical altercation between a male and female after their vehicle slid off the road was taken at 238 W 250 S, Peru.
