Misty Wilcox goes to Washington, D.C.
By Michelle Boswell mboswell@thepaperofmiami.com
Misty Wilcox said she was able to go on “the learning experience of a lifetime” and it was simply by chance. Wilcox traveled to Washington D.C. to the 32nd Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA) Annual National Leadership Forum, but she wasn’t initially scheduled for the trip. “So, this is a cool story of chance. I was not chosen for this trip first. Becca Wily was chosen. I was telling her how cool this chance is for her and that I would love to be a part of it. Then she found out that she could not go, and I told her that I would go (just on a whim that I would love to go). She put my name out there and they said yes.” Wilcox’s trip was covered by a local organization, “More for Miami Coalition.” According to their public information, the goal of the More for Miami Coalition is to “build a comprehensive, effective prevention system based in community mobilization, coalition building and prevention science. They are youth, parents, teacher and administrators, pastors, agency directors, program staff, facilitators, and strategists. The More for Miami Coalition is supported by a growing network of preventionists in Miami County, Indiana, whose willingness to support data-driven decision-making is a powerful testament to the principles of transparency and inclusiveness.” Prior to the trip, Wilcox was not involved with More for Miami Coalition but says she is looking forward to the opportunity of working with the organization. She wants those involved with the organization to know she is grateful and thankful for having the opportunity to take the trip and learn so much. A Miami County resident, Wilcox is employed as the Administrative and Athletic Secretary for North Miami High School. Wilcox has worked for the North Miami School Corporation for nine years and is a 2002 North Miami graduate. She helps with cheerleading and is a trainer for the Peru Amateur Circus. The trip for Wilcox was an exciting opportunity but once she was settled, there was much to learn. “I had an idea of what I would be doing on this trip, but I had no idea how I would feel after the trip or how much I would learn. The conference was about prevention today for a safer tomorrow. There where sessions about different topics to do with prevention, combatting trends, substance abuse and so many other things to help our community youth and others. I learned so much from my trip both about myself and to bring back to help the community. I learned that I am more capable of stepping out of my comfort zone then I thought. I also learned that working with the youth is really where my heart is no matter what way I am doing it. I learned so much from the forum,” she said. Wilcox gathered up all that she learned from the conference and recently shared it with the More for Miami Coalition at the new Miami County YMCA in Peru. Expanding her knowledge like she did in Washington D.C. is nothing new to Wilcox. She has a degree in Cognitive Studies and Applied Behavioral Science from the University of Arizona Global. She is curSee Wilcox, Page 2

Wilcox rently in the process of obtaining her master's degree. Although this trip was mostly business, Wilcox did get a chance to spend time with a cousin stationed in D.C. “The food on the trip was amazing. The hotel that I stayed in was amazing. I was able to go to the top of the Washington Monument and look out the windows and see so many of the other monuments,” Wilcox shared. While visiting family during her trip was enjoyable, Wilcox missed her loved ones back in Miami County. She

expressed her gratitude toward her family for the support they gave her concerning her time away from home. “I want to thank my husband, Kyle, and sons, Alexander, Preston, and Joel for being so supportive of me going on this trip” she said. After all was said and done, Wilcox felt a tremendous amount of affirma-
tion concerning her involvement with the community. And, like most who take a trip whether for business or pleasure, there is a feeling of being energized. Wilcox said, “After my trip I feel more justified and rejuvenated in what I want to do and how I can help the youth in our community. I think that there are a few things that would be good to take
back to any school. The first one is H.O.P.E. week. This is something like Red Ribbon Week (which is the nation’s oldest and largest drug-prevention awareness campaign), but for high schools and middle schools. I hope that I get a chance to bring a few of the ideas to the community. I think that the ideas that I learned will be able to be adapted to help the people in our community.”

Sweet on St. Patrick! By Laura Kurella St. Patrick’s Day means many things to many people. In the secular world, it usually means parties where people wear and drink things dyed green. However, the day was actually established to honor a saint of a man who didn’t start out life that way and was originally named, “Maewyn.” Born in Wales in around 385 A.D., at age 16, Maewyn was sold into slavery, which caused him to turn from his pagan ways to God, whom he asked for help in his plight. Escaping slavery, Maewyn fled to a monastery where he changed his name to Patrick and spent the rest of his life turning other pagans toward God. Appointed the second bishop to Ireland, Patrick continued his mission for thirty years until passing on March 17, 461 – the date chosen to honor him – and, shamrocks don’t appear on this day just for decoration. They are present because St. Patrick used them to demonstrate how the Father, Son and Holy Spirit all exist as separate elements of the same Holy Trinity. On a personal note, I used to spend a little time every summer looking to find a fourleaf clover in my best friend’s front yard, but never did. Many, many decades later, while tending to my parents grave, I found myself gasping for breath when, low and behold, on my mother’s side of the plot, I spied what would be my first and to this day only, fourleafed gem! I was so stunned by the find, not because of the what, but because of the where which, in my heart, made me feel like my mother was using it as a way to connect with me, in the here and now. Needless to say, this little clover was very precious to me. So much so that I pressed it onto a page along with my favorite prayer in the Bible (Matthew 6:9-14), and have it where I get to see it every day! A single St. Patrick
Day has not passed that I don’t think about it, and while many focus on wearing and even drinking things green on this day, I tend to think that perhaps it would also be nice to remember the man that made this day special, and celebrate that he used his life to make a positive difference in the lives of others, by serving up something Irish, like an Irish coffee! Believed to have originated in a Limerick airport during the cold and miserable winter of 1937, this airport was often visited by the likes of John F. Kennedy, Humphrey Bogart, Eleanor Roosevelt, Edward G Robinson, Ernest Hemmingway and even Douglas Fairbanks Sr. One night, when bad weather had grounded several flights, filling the airport with many VIPs, the cook decided to whip up something warm and “Irish” to impress his prestigious guests. Starting with freshly brewed coffee, kicked up with a splash of fine Irish whiskey, he topped off his warm and flavorful blend with a crown of rich, and fluffy, freshly whipped cream! Guests were very impressed with its taste, prompting them to ask what it was. The cook politely replied, “What you have there is the finest coffee to ever cross the lips. Irish coffee it is!” While you can buy something that tries to replicate the taste, nothing beats the homemade taste of Irish cream. Here now is a pleasing assortment of ways to make your St. Patrick’s Day a little sweeter. Enjoy! Laura Kurella is an award-winning recipe developer, journalist and self-syndicated newspaper food columnist who enjoys living in the Midwest. She welcomes your question or comments at laurakurella@yahoo.c om. Original Irish coffee Cream: Rich as an Irish Brogue Coffee: Strong as a Friendly Hand
Sugar: Sweet as the tongue of a Rogue Whiskey: Smooth as the Wit of the Land You are to heat a stemmed whiskey goblet. Pour in one jigger of Irish whiskey Add one spoon of brown sugar. Fill with strong black coffee to within one inch of the brim. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Top off with whipped cream, slightly aerated, by pouring it over the back of a spoon, so that it floats. Do not stir after adding the cream as the true flavor is obtained by drinking the hot coffee and Irish whiskey through the cream. Sweet Shamrock Drops 1 1/2 cups Applesauce 2 1/4 cup Sugar 2 boxes (3 oz) Lime Jell-O 2 envelopes Unflavored Gelatin {like Knox} Grease 13x9 pan. Combine all ingredients in a pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for a minute. Pour into the prepared pan and refrigerate until set. Dust cutting board with sugar. Use a spatula to loosen sides and turn out onto a cutting board. Dust top of Jell-O with sugar. Use a shamrock shaped cookie cutter to cut out gum drops. Roll edges in extra sugar and set onto wax paper for 1 hour to dry out slightly. Store in an airtight container. Minty St. Patty's Day Bark 16 ounces Vanilla Coating 3/4 cup Mint OREO cookies, crumbled into large pieces Green sprinkles Melt Vanilla coating in tray according to directions on package. Add 1/2 cup of the chopped Oreo cookies into the tray and stir to combine. Pour mixture into a 13 x 9-inch pan lined with wax paper. Use a spatula to smooth out evenly in the pan. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup crushed cookies and green sprinkles on top. Chill for about 10 minutes or until completely set. Once set, remove bark from the pan and cut or break into pieces.

Snow damage causes temporary closing of recycling location The recycling location behind Hardee’s Restaurant is temporarily closed. Recovery Recycling, the recycling contractor for the Miami County Recycling District, experienced damage to the roof of their building due to heavy snow in February. The trusses in the storage area gave way and part of the roof collapsed. The company has
been working with the City of Peru to make the necessary repairs to get the roof operational. The company obtained the needed permits and collaborated with an architect to make sure all the repairs met local and state standards. As of Monday morning, March 14, Recovery Recycling was waiting for a final inspection from the architect. They were also working

to complete the details required to be done before they will be allowed to reopen. The Miami County Recycling District worked with Recovery Recycling to add extra recycling drop off bins at their location at 2651 West Logansport Road to provide an alternative drop off location for citizens to drop off their recyclable materials. Samantha St. John,
District Director, said that most of the people who came to the location to drop off their materials were very understanding about the situation. “They were appreciative to have a place to take their recyclables. Even though it was an inconvenience for some citizens, it also provided an excellent opportunity to explain the District’s many pro-
grams, provide them with information booklets, and answer questions they had,” St. John explained. St. John and her staff used the unfortunate circumstances to add a positive experience for those who used the District’s recy-
cling drop off location. Recovery Recycling is hoping to be able to reopen their drop off location by Wednesday, March 16 or Thursday, March 17. The Recycling District wishes to thank the city and county citizens for
their patience and understanding during this unfortunate and unforeseen event. They also invite folks to stop by their location on Logansport Road with any questions or need more information on their programs.
