Wheel tax gets a favorable recommendation by Commissioners By Jennifer Brittin Staff Writer MARSHALL COUNTY— The Marshall County Highway Department has been working along with County officials to find funding to make needed repairs to the county’s roads since they found out no additional revenue will be coming from the state this year. A possible solution was discussed again Monday morning during the Marshall County Commissioner’s meeting. Commissioner’s decided unanimously that the Local Option Highway User Income Tax, or LOHUT, is a favorable option and they recommended that the Marshall County Council consider implementing the tax. “The Commissioners support this presentation given by the County Highway Department today and we recommend to the

PLYMOUTH – In what may have been a tough race for the primary, the tallies for candidates arrived last night after the polls closed at 6 p.m. from the clerk’s office. Low voter turnout was apparent in the total number of votes cast for the primary, with 746 total, 577 from machines and 169 absentee ballots counted during the day. In the hotly contested primary nomination for Democratic candidate for mayor of Plymouth, Rex Crump won 67.7 percent of the vote versus Tony Gamble, owner of Mancino’s Pizza, with 32.3. The Republican side with four seats for city council at large also had some stiff competition. Mike Delp won narrowly with 30.71 percent of the vote over Bill Walters, with 27.69 percent, Burke Richeson at 21.78 percent, and Christopher Berdahl with 19.82 percent of the vote. On the Democrats’ side for city council at large, Gary Cook took in 38.04 percent, Jeffrey Houin had 34.13 percent, and Josh Walker gained 27.83 percent. In district three, Shiloh Fonseca ran unopposed for her party’s seat and held 100 percent of the vote. For town council at large, six Republicans ran, each with

BREMEN – Plans are in the initial stages to create a memorial garden with mural at Bremen High School to honor a slain student. Art teacher Ashley Boardman said the mural and garden would be in an enclosed courtyard at the school to remember 15-year-old Desi Jones, who was killed in December. Boardman, who sponsors the school’s art club, said members of the club came up with the idea to memorialize Jones, a BHS freshman who had been a club member. “A lot of the kids, especially in art club, wanted to create something to remember her,” Boardman said. The enclosed courtyard is a long but narrow space, measuring about 15-feet by 60-feet. The space would be named “Desi’s Garden” and would include flower planters, a picnic table and chairs. The garden’s mural would

“(It would be) kind of whimsical floral, but abstracted with bold colors that kind of take on the form of graffiti,” Boardman said. The art club is seeking donations for the project. Boardman said they are looking for a local mural painter to assist with the project, which will be painted by her, art club members and community volunteers over the summer. The mural is expected to be finished by the beginning of the 20152016 school year. The garden is dependent on donations, and she didn’t have anticipated completion date. “(It will be) just a kind of relaxing, positive environment for the kids to enjoy besides the classroom,” Boardman said. Meanwhile, there was a mixture of emotions throughout Bremen shortly after it was announced that a murder charge had been filed against 20-yearold Fabian Rubio. Along with the murder count, prosecutors on Monday

Though a teacher has not yet been hired for the position, the open house has been set up to give parents of prospective students in the program to see the facility and have an opportunity to meet the staff that will be looking after their children. The program will start in the fall for the 2015 to 2016 academic year and be five days a week at two and a half hours a day for the program.

Reporter may need to testify, interview notes remain private ELKHART, Ind. (AP) — A northern Indiana judge has ruled a newspaper reporter does not have to turn over notes and recordings from an interview she conducted with a man accused of murder and the suspect’s mother. But Elkhart County Circuit Judge Terry Shewmaker said she does have to be available to testify as a rebuttal witness. Shewmaker issued a ruling Tuesday granting part of a motion by The Elkhart Truth and reporter Emily Pfund to quash a subpoena by Prosecutor Curtis Hill Jr. for her notes and recording. However, he ordered her to be available to testify Wednesday. He said if there is no conflicting testimony she may not need to testify. Pfund interviewed 19-year-old Freddie Rhodes, who is charged with murder in the September shooting death of 18-year-old Dre Tarrious Rodgers.

Plymouth Sky Sports concerned over runway repairs By Rachael Herbert-Varchetto Staff Writer PLYMOUTH — It’s a business that draws thousands of people to Plymouth each year only to chuck them out of a plane up to 13,000 feet off the ground. Plymouth Sky Sports, owned and operated by instructor Troy Church, has worked hard the last five years to break even while still providing a unique opportunity to area residents and regional skydiving enthusiasts. But with construction on the airport runway project about to begin, the business faces real jeopardy, according to Church. “It’s going to reduce revenue and increase costs, and the people that work here are going to lose income,” said Church, an instructor with 8,000 skydives under his parachute. Church supports the work that needs to be done on the runway, but worries about the impact that it will have on his business. The runway lengthening and widening project has been a long time coming, according to Plymouth Municipal Airport Manager David Lattimer.

Originally built some 40 years ago to his estimations, Lattimer stated that FAA regulations are not the reason behind the construction of the new runway. Private jets ownered by business professionals, companies, and others traveling into and out of the area have been warned by their insurance providers that in the event of accident on Plymouth’s runway, they will not be covered by the company since the runway doesn’t meet “current” standards set by the insurance companies. The runway currently is 60 feet wide and 4,400 feet long. The new standards require the runway to be 75 feet wide and 5,000 feet long. “This is what is behind the need to improve our runway, and we have quite the number of business jets in and out of Plymouth,” explained Lattimer. The work has needed to be done for some time, and Church feels this is something necessary that needs to happen. “The Board of Aviation Commissioners (BOAC) has been receptive to my complaints. Part of it their hands are tied. If they give me a break on fuel or rent, then they’re going to get every other tenant say, ‘You

can’t do that for him and not for me,” said Church. “We’re the only commercial business whose livelihood relies on the runway.” For the last several years, Church has used personal money to keep the business afloat. Last year was the first time that Plymouth Sky Sports landed in the black. He cannot project the success of the business surviving past this year, due to costs. Church calculated that for the over two months the airport is closed, Plymouth Sky Sports will be impacted with a hit of $65,000 and roughly $35,000 in lost revenue. People from Chicago, Detroit, Wisconsin, and Ohio have traveled to the small business based on their good reputation, according to Church. Church, however, has found a minor solution, though it is still costing him money. Plymouth Sky Sports has worked out for the time that Plymouth’s airport is out of commission, Church will operate his business out of the Starke County Airport. Church will have jumpers meet him at Plymouth Muncipal Airport, go over jump details, then ferry drivers to Starke County for takeoff. Over Plymouth, the jumpers will hop out of the plane and be picked up and taken back to their cars. The additional costs of renting extra hangar space, rental vans, drivers, insurance, and gas will set Church back significantly, as well as in time and number of jumps. “What we’re trying to do is offer a weekday deal that will make it worthwhile to

take the day off and come here. In normal prices you pay $600 for a tandem sky dive plus a video and pictures. I’m offering it two people for $444,” said Church, who estimates 90 percent of his business comes in on the weekend. With a full season running into early November, construction will take out the airport from May until early July, according to the projections given to Lattimer by Phend and Brown. The original start date for construction had been requested by BOAC for April 1. But the contracting company had stated April was too rainy a month. The next date set was for May 4, before it was once again pushed back to May 18. No reason was given for the rescheduling according to Lattimer. The airport too, will suffer lost revenue, as jets will take their planes elsewhere, until the construction is completed. “I know my board members have talked individually about suspending rental fees [for Church] during the two months we’re closed, but it’s not yet been made official,” stated Lattimer concerning Church’s rent costs. “I look forward to them talking about that next Tuesday night and making a decision on that.” Groundbreaking on the construction will occur May 18 at the airport, just before the monthly BOAC meeting.

established back in the 30’s, they were never intended for such things as semis,” said Commissioner Deb Griewank. “They were not created to bear the weight of heavy vehicles or for high amounts of traffic to pass over them on a regular basis. If a base would have been put down when these roads were established, it would’ve been helpful right now, but they had no way of knowing that then.” Overmyer advised that the Town of Culver has drafted a letter in support of LOHUT which will be presented to the County Council. “I believe that the towns of Argos and Bourbon are going to address this at their meetings on Wednesday during their Town Council meetings,” he said. County Highway Department Supervisor, Jason Peters, presented information from the 2015 Road Program Preview to the Commissioners to provide them with an idea as to where additional funds could be used to repair and maintain roads. Peters explained the budget and the costs associated with road maintenance. The department begins each year with roughly $850,000 in the budget. This amount has remained the same for several years even though the costs of everything have increased dramatically. “We might take $350,000 out of the relinquishment fund (money received from the relinquishment of Old US 31 to the state) to help with funds through the county highway which Information on these arrests was provided by law enforce- gives us $1.2 million roughly,” Peters ment agencies.

Four miles out of the 13.5 miles were already pugged last year. “If we did five miles of paving that would be roughly $351,000,” said Peters. “We have our dust control which we know is going to be right at $80,000 and materials such as patch, millings, limestone, gravel, etc. also

comes out of that $1.2 million.” Peters explained that he would like to do at least two more miles on Plymouth Goshen Trail and roughly three miles on East County Line Road. “If we had the additional LOHUT, which we’re basing that on being roughly $850,000, we could do 25 more miles of chip and seal and ten more miles of paving with the millings and that would still leave us roughly $100,000 left to do other work.” The Highway Department invested in the zipper last year and a pug mill, which uses recycled millings. These two purchases have made it possible for them to be able to do more work for less money. “We used the pug mill just last week,” said Peters. “Just to give an idea of where we’re at with that, we ran close to 1,000 tons of millings and that was roughly $22.80 a ton.” It would have cost them $54 a ton to purchase hot mix, plus the cost of travel to pick the loads up, so using the pug mill saved a substantial amount of money. Peters noted that they are also able to make patch material this year which will cost $38 a ton versus purchasing it for roughly $80 per ton. “We have to drive a fair distance to pick up purchased materials, so it would cost approximately $105 a ton if you figure in gas, vehicle maintenance and the hourly rate of the driver picking it up.” Peters gave the rest of his presentation and finished by stating, “What we need to understand is, it’s not a quick fix. What we’re trying to achieve here is long term. Everybody has to understand it takes patience and it is time consuming. It makes no difference how many people we have working, some of the roads that we have to grind are going to have to lay for a year. I’m guessing, just from this last winter, we have approximately 75 miles of roads that need ground.” During the meeting, Marshall County resident Stephanie Thomas

was invited up to present her views on the proposed wheel tax. “One of my issues is that the roads did not just get this way overnight. This is not something that has happened in just the last year. Over the seven years that I’ve lived here I’ve seen the roads deteriorate.” Thomas suggested the implementation of frost bans which are used in other counties. “It prevents certain types of vehicles from driving on certain roads at specific times of the year because of the frost level.” Overmyer responded that frost bans were used many years ago in Marshall County, but that enforcement was very difficult and that frost bans would prevent necessary travel by farm vehicles and semis which transport grain and milk from farms in the county. Thomas questioned what will be done with the additional money from the wheel tax and what the future plans are for the roads that are being fixed now. “I don’t see maintenance being done in a proper manner now… repairing two potholes and leaving one right next to them undone is not good maintenance!” Lisa Hibner of Plymouth also spoke during the meeting. “Regarding LOHUT, the benefits of good county roads are obvious to us all, but I would like to hear the problem clearly identified and see a plan as to how this new revenue would be spent,” stated Hibner. “Have we really exhausted all of our other options before we go ahead and implement a new million dollar tax? Our tax burden is enough already and I would ask for you to consider other options.” The Highway Department will present their Road Program Preview again during the County Council meeting next week at which time council members will also consider adopting LOHUT and the wheel tax to fund road repairs and maintenance.

Preschool, continued from front “It’s basically going to be like a typical preschool classroom that you would walk into with anyone, and will be run very similar,” said Riise. Once a teacher is hired for the program, they will work and be “mentored” by JESSE Preschool Coordinator, Sue Victor, who will set to the task of setting up the program once things have become more finalized. Because each special needs child is different, the program will be tailored to each one specifically, according to Victor. “[The students] will go through the evaluation process if they qualify for the program for services under Article 7. Then we go ahead and we’ll develop an IEP with the goals and objectives, and tailor the instruction for those individualized needs of the student,” explained Victor. Victor is excited about the project and expanded on the subject of preschools. “I think it’s a great thing to have as many children as you possibly can in preschool, and if this can get more of these kiddos to be involved in preschool and a preschool setting, I’m all for it.” Preschool is considered the first step into preparing children’s “positive transition to kindergarten”, according to Victor.

“There’s a direct correlation of attend preschool and having school success,” she explained. Riise hopes to be able to provide transportation for all the “little ones”, not just one group or the other. So far, 10 families have applied for the preschool, not including special needs children already enrolled. “We won’t be able to prepare until we actually know the kids and what their disabilities are. There’s not a blanket environment conducive for all kids,” said Riise.

We needed to spend our limited family time in meaningful communication, such as the following: Me: How was school today? Child #1: Why did you put birdseed on these crackers? Me: Those are sesame seeds— Child #2: [grabbing #1’s crackers]: I like ’em. Child #1: Waaaaaaah! Child #3: Junior Sitz set the science lab on fire again. Dad: [enters and reaches for cracker box]: Who ate all the birdseed crackers? However, when our eldest, who had entered high school, began to spend teary evenings re-copying her corrected English papers because we lacked a computer, my resolve eroded. What if my children experienced difficulty in school because of my stubbornness? I foresaw years of weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth and pens. “I suppose we’ll have to buy a computer,” I told my husband. “Cable, too?” “Forget it.” Our new desktop immediately conspired against me. Its Internet dialed up for everyone but me. It sent my email attempts to Saturn. Its screen savers squeaked and gibbered at me in the dark, sending me into near cardiac arrest. While my husband and children bonded in the basement over the early Internet, discovering traffic conditions in France together, I remained in the living room, huddled over a book — alone. God and I share wonderful conversations. And, as human conversation partners go, I enjoy talking to myself. But occasionally I crave the company of someone else. So, feet and brain dragging, I welcomed the age of technology. Since then, desktop computers and cell phones have grown up, married and given birth to hundreds of devices I must face every day. I will never become reconciled to gas pumps that show videos or phone trees that push me around. I still argue with ATM’s occasionally; airline kiosks, always; and once an automated grocery store check-out and I nearly came to blows because I refused to bag a sheet cake. However, I have faced facts: technology is here to stay. Unless I want to hire two-year-olds to manage my life, I had better maintain a sort-of knowledge of my laptop and smartphone. I have set records as a turtle texter, but on the positive side, my thumbs are more coordinated than they have been in years. I have even forced myself to adapt to more than four TV channels. Still, I am not one of those people who are dependent on technology. Just because I have not added more than two numbers in my head since 1980 does not mean my brain cells have atrophied into tofu. Just because I bow before faucets and paper towel dispensers, awaiting their pleasure — or worse yet, perform my YMCA moves to entreat their cooperation—does not mean I cannot turn a faucet or crank a handle. Why, the other day, when our bundled landline, cable TV and Internet services all decided to take a vacation — for two and a half whole days! — I remained calm. I wandered aimlessly around Walmart’s electronics department hugging TVs, broke out in a plaid rash and suffered hallucinations of Larry the Cable Guy doing the Macarena in a tutu, but I kept tapping those buttons on the landline phone, the computer, the remote. I kept talking on my cell phone to a helpful Indonesian person with a Chinese accent. For two and a half whole days. But I am not one of those people. Am I?

Coffee Corner

Resume and eulogy virtues David Brooks, columnist for the New York Times, was Bill O’Reilly’s guest on April 21. He was on the show to promote his new book The Road to Character. Brooks used two terms to describe a distinction that I had never heard before. He said that there are two kinds of virtues: resume and eulogy. Resume virtues have to do with achievement, wealth, fame, and status. Eulogy virtues have to do with kindness, bravery, honesty or faithfulness. This latter group focuses on what kind of relationships we foster. From the reviews of the book I read and what Brooks had to say on the 21st, I have the impression that David says that the emphasis in America today is on the resume virtues. He thinks we need to emphasize more the eulogy virtues. To illustrate his point he uses Frances Perkins, Dwight Eisenhower, Dorothy Day, A. Philip Randolph, and Bayard Rustin as examples. Carl Dudley in his book Making the Small Church Effective makes the point that people tend to have one of two basic orientations: achievement (resume) and affiliate (eulogy). Small membership churches in their operating style tend to be affiliate.

... From the Heartland By Dave Hogsett

As churches get larger they tend to become more achievement orientated. However, even a small membership church needs to get certain things done and larger churches need to be concerned with interpersonal relationships. The Book of Proverbs in its present form operates as an instruction manual for youth as they are about to enter adulthood. Some of the proverbs emphasize resume virtues: hard work, moderation, wealth, speech. Other proverbs emphasize eulogy virtues: dealing with authority, avoidance of bad company, wisdom, respect for parents, self-control. A general guiding principle for

Proverbs is balance and moderation. One should not go too far in any one direction. Brooks would say that the good life is made up of a balance of the resume virtues and the eulogy virtues. While one may be stronger in one area than the other, it is important that one have both. One might ask the question, ”Do either of the two virtues have ultimate value?” The Book of Ecclesiastes suggests that in the end the only virtues that endure are the eulogy virtues. The resume virtues are important for a time but in the end they fade away. In the end all of our achievements will fade away and everything we have worked so hard to build will crumble. I found David Brooks distinction between the resume virtues and the eulogy virtues an opportunity to reflect on the nature of the world in which I live and just where I stand in it. I hope David’s suggestions might also be an occasion for you to reflect on your life. Which of the two virtue types predominate?       Dave Hogsett is a retired United Methodist Church minister now residing in Plymouth.

The focus should be on the issues in presidential campaign

Are you or anyone you know actually excited by the fact that the 2016 presidential campaign is underway? Of course not. It’s 2015, and it’s springtime at that. There are dozens of other more pressing issues facing us both nationally and internationally. So why does American journalism focus so much attention on presidential politics? Answer: Because it’s easy. Political journalism is the laziest form of journalism on the face of the earth. It’s all about who is ahead, who is behind, who has stumbled, who is raising the most money, whose campaign commercial made a splash. It is, in short, about the game, the game of politics. And it is far easier to cover the game than it is to cover the issues facing our country. Decaying infrastructure? Way too complicated. It involves way too much homework, too many numbers and it won’t attract enough eyeballs on the Internet.

Commentary

By Jack Ronald (Portland) Commercial Review Global warming? It’s much simpler to talk about it when set up as a political dichotomy, one side vs. another side. It’s much more complicated to explain this isn’t about two equal points of view but about science vs. money. And, besides, when you point that out, you are quickly accused of not being sufficiently objective. Race in America? Only in the context of politics, where it can be quantified in terms of who wins the next election. Changing attitudes about tolerance, discrimination, gay rights and religion? Only if the whole complicated, nuanced, often uncomfortable issue can be boiled down to a dumb question like: Would you attend a gay

wedding? At best, this sort of journalism is both stupid and lazy. At its worst, it undermines serious discussion in this country about the very, very serious issues facing us as a nation. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a thoughtful discussion about how the heck we are going to deal with the violent soup of the Middle East and all its complexities — ISIS, Israel, the Saudis, Iran and the rest — without reducing it to the level of which presidential candidate will get a bump in the next poll? Is that going to happen? No. So the advice from here, is to put political journalism on the back burner. None of it matters this far in advance of an election anyway. Instead, look for those articles that might provide insights into something meaningful. Focus on the issues, and let the political sideshow roll on without you. Jack Ronald is publisher of the (Portland) Commercial Review.

Argos Lions host after-prom party PLYMOUTH — Sunday morning, May 3, the Argos Lions Club hosted 76 Argos High School students and their dates at the after-prom celebration held at Quick’s Lanes in Plymouth from 12:30-4 a.m. Argos Lions Mindy and Curt Overmyer gave each student gift cards from local restaurants for sandwiches and drinks and welcomed them to the after prom as they entered the building. Drawings were held during the night for various prizes from local businesses in Argos, Plymouth, and Bourbon.

Cash was given for strikes when a colored pin was present. Lions Greg Hollar, Gene Cooper, Alan Earl, Darle Kenz, and Mindy Overmyer helped with the drawing of names for prizes and cash for strikes. Businesses were very generous with their contributions to the cause and were recognized when their donations were presented. Argos High School staff members Rockie Levi and Jon Alcorn helped supervise the event.

Study yields insights into how plant cells grow WEST LAFAYETTE — A study by Purdue University plant scientists and University of Nebraska-Lincoln engineers advances our understanding of how plants control their shape and development at the cellular level. Their findings could help researchers engineer better cotton fibers, improve plant defense against insects, alter plant architecture and toughen root response to drought. “This collaboration enabled us to learn more about what really controls plant cell shape in one year than we had in the previous 10,” said Daniel Szymanski, a Purdue professor of botany and plant pathology and leader of the research team. “The degree to which our discoveries linked interacting systems and provided clear explanations for cell shape control was great. The opportunities to apply this knowledge are limitless.” The team used a combination of experimental data from live plant cells and computational modeling to gain new insights into how plant cytoskeletons — intricate networks of protein fibers and tubes within cells — cooperate to produce complex cell shapes. Unlike mammalian cells, plant cells are rigid, constrained by a thick wall of fibers that have the tensile strength of steel. Plant cells can also come in complicated shapes, such as the pointed, three-branched Arabidopsis trichomes that served as cell models in Szymanski’s study. Previous research had shown that two intracellular fiber systems control plant cell shape: the microtubule cytoskeleton and the actin cytoskeleton. A protein complex moves along the microtubules — tiny tubes in the cell — leaving behind fibers that are patterned into the cell wall. These fibers act like hoops around a barrel, holding the cell in a cylindrical shape as it expands. Actin, a type of protein, is also essential for plant shape and development, but its role has not been well understood. Szymanski and his fellow researchers found that actin fibers run throughout the cell, forming a network of longdistance “roadways” along which additional materials for the cell wall are transported. A protein complex known as ARP2/3 controls the production and distribution of actin in the cell and directs traffic along these roadways from its position at the tip of the trichome. It also forms a meshwork of actin that can influence the behavior and organization of the rest of the cell. “How this protein complex influences the actin network of the cell was a major discovery,” Szymanski said. “If we can learn more about the interactions between the actin and microtubule systems, we could translate this knowledge into improved cotton fibers and trichome plant defense systems in crop species. Engineering these is low-hanging fruit.” Two-color live-cell imaging showed that traffic along the actin network flows in two directions — toward the tip and toward the base. New material is delivered via this network to maintain new wall synthesis during cell growth, though further research is needed to reveal what types of cell wall cargo are being delivered on the actin tracks, Szymanski said. Nebraska-Lincoln engineers Joseph Turner and Anastasia Desyatova used Szymanski’s cell measurements to design a computational model of a thin-walled pressurized cell that could be divided into sectors with different mechanical properties. This model is the first to include wall fibers and also reflected the tremendous internal pressure of a plant

cell — 90 pounds per square inch, about the same pressure as a road-bike tire. The model produced a number of predictions about cell wall properties that Szymanski then verified in live trichomes. Actin allows the cell wall to maintain a thickness gradient — thicker at the base and thinner at the tip — as it grows. Actin also enables the cone-shaped tip of the cell to change in a fixed pattern, generating a highly specialized shape that is effective in insect defense. Additionally, the team found that shape is set early in cell development and remains unchanged as the cell expands. “The beauty of this modeling is that it can be applied to any plant cell,” Szymanski said. “By combining biochemistry, genetics and cell biology, we can better understand how cell wall properties are determined. This could lead to breakthroughs in other cell types as well.” Understanding cell shape could also be used to model organ growth and development, he said. “By controlling the geometry and growth rates of groups of cells, you could then scale this up to control the size and shape of an organ such as a leaf, which is crucial for plant productivity.”

CULVER — A movie shot in Culver during the summer of 2013 and featuring a host of well-known Disney Channel and Hollywood actors and actresses has officially found its distributor and is now being sold in the various International markets, according to James Simmons, producer of the movie. “ L i t t l e “Details are still being Savages” was shot — and set worked out, but this — on location in Culver dur- could come in the form ing August 2013, of TV original premiere by small, faithbased film com- that airs on ABC Family pany Bearfruit or Disney XD. It could Films, and involved actors manifest into a ranging from limited theatrical Leigh Allyn Baker, Jamie release. Domestic Kennedy, and release is still being Kenton Duty, to Katherine coordinated.” McNamara and ­— James Simmons, producer Adam Hicks, among others. Archstone Entertainment has been signed on as distributor for the movie and began licensing the film in Berlin in February, according to a recent email release by Simmons. “We are obtaining close to our high ask price on the territories they have already sold and there are more territories that will be licensed in mid-May at the renowned Cannes Film Festival,” he added. Archstone is also promoting a new international trailer for “Little Savages” which features plenty of familiar Culver scenery, and may be viewed online at archstonedistribution. com/film/Little-Savages. Simmons adds that Millennium Entertainment (recently acquired by Alchemy) will represent the domestic rights for “Little Savages.” “Details are still being worked out,” he continued, “but this could come in the form of TV original premiere that airs on ABC Family or Disney XD. It could manifest into a limited theatrical release. Domestic release is still being coordinated. Overall, we are very pleased with Archstone as a distributor and we are in a great position with ‘Little Savages.’” Simmons adds that it’s possible “Little Savages” could be available on DVD for the public by Christmas, though again, nothing has been firmed up as of now. “I’m really happy with the outcome,” he says of “shopping” the film to distributors. “A number of distributors liked it and made offers.” It’s not impossible, depending upon response to the movie, that a sequel could still happen. That notion would certainly go well with the actors involved. “We had a great relationships with all the actors,” Simmons noted. “They would all love to come back.” “Savages” is one of three films Bearfruit has produced to date. Its first, “Rumors of Wars,” may now be seen on Netflix and the DVD is in select stores and online. “It’s doing really well,” says Simmons. “Griddle House,” a film the company shot in 2014, is close to completion and will be taken through the same steps as “Little Savages.” A premiere event for “Little Savages” was held to a packed audience last Labor Day weekend at the Lake Maxinkuckee Film Festival.

Marshall County Kid’s Expo awards camperships PLYMOUTH — Marshall County Kid’s Expo 2015 has announced the winners of a boy and girl campership (scholarship). The winners were chosen from applications of interested parties that were turned in at the Kid’s Expo on Saturday, April 11 at the Boys & Girls Club in Plymouth. The campership is new to the second annual Expo and is another way to give back to the community. The kids at the Expo were invited to fill out an application toward one of the events presented by participating vendors with the campership program at the Expo. The kids were to share why they would like to attend and have a chance to win free entry into the event of their choosing. If chosen, Kid’s Expo would pay for a boy and a girl’s entry up to $250. This scholarship pays only for the entry fee — not transportation, needed items or food.  

The first recipient of the campership is Owen Walleske who won entry to the Springhill Summer Camp through Crossroads Church and will attend the camp in June. Owen said, “I went last year and had so much fun, I wanted to go back, I liked my teachers and the water slide.” Megan Walleske, Owen’s mother said, “I like the fact that it is Christian based and he did have a lot of fun, still talking about it.” Chris Garner representing Springhill Summer Camp through Crossroads Evangelical Free Church said, “I remember Owen from last year, so glad he will be returning. Love being able to share and thankful for a place like Marshall County Kid’s Expo to promote summer events, especially our camp. Interested kids can find more information and register at www. springhillcamps.com.”

The second recipient is Alicia Teutle who won dance lessons for nine months at the LifePlex Dance Academy (LDA). Kid’s Expo paid $250 toward this series of lessons and LifePlex picked up the balance of the fee. Mewsette Cartwright from (LDA) said, “Expo is a great event providing parents and kids with resources to choose from and help them grow physically, socially and be able to make a difference in their community and in impacting the lives of others. This aligns with LDA’s mission statement to help others reach their God-given talents in arts and culture in unity with dance.” Alicia said, “This would be a good experience to try something new that I haven’t done before. I know I will have fun doing it.” Alicia’s mother, Kim Teutle said, “We are

so happy she got it. She has been wanting to do gymnastics or dance. Now she has that opportunity. Our other daughter is in sports, so this gives Alicia the chance to do something different.” The Marshall County Kid’s Expo is the event that brings all groups who offer after school and summer activities for kids together under one roof at one time. A threehour open house format took place this year with 30 vendors, three demonstrations, lots of hands-on activities for kids and over 40 raffle and other prizes given away at the Boys & Girls Club in Plymouth. The event is a project that originated through Leadership Marshall County and sponsored by Marshall County Community Foundation and the United Way of Marshall County. For more information — go to Marshall County Kid’s Expo Facebook page.

Additional trout releases scheduled for northern Indiana streams  INDIANAPOLIS — The DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife will extend trout fishing opportunities at five northern Indiana streams with additional trout stockings. The streams are Pigeon River in Steuben and LaGrange counties, Turkey Creek in LaGrange County, Little Elkhart River in Elkhart County, Little Kankakee River in LaPorte County and Potato Creek in St. Joseph County. 

Pigeon River, Turkey Creek and Little Elkhart River will be stocked for the weekend of May 9-10 and May 23-24, which is Memorial Day weekend. The Little Kankakee River and Potato Creek will only be stocked for Memorial Day weekend.  Pigeon River will be stocked at County Road 175-N and at County Line Road. Turkey Creek will be stocked at County Road 150-N. These stream crossings are in

Pigeon River Fish & Wildlife Area.  Little Elkhart River will be stocked at Bonneyville Mill County Park.  Little Kankakee River will be stocked at County Roads 100-S and 500-E, and at State Road 4.   Potato Creek will be stocked at North Liberty Town Park and in Potato Creek State Park near the paved bicycle trail creek crossing. Parking to use the state park is available

at the West lot. Anglers fishing at the park will have to hike or bike about 1 mile along the bicycle trail to get to the stocking area. Although these stream sites are the only areas to receive additional trout in May, fish from the initial releases in late April are still available in most of northern Indiana’s trout streams.  To view all DNR news releases, please see dnr.IN.gov.

Ted Hayden stands atop the lift as construction continues at The Zone Sports Complex in Plymouth. The facility, which is located at the old Plymouth Tennis Complex, will house four full-sized basketball courts and eight volleyball courts.

The Zone Sports Complex slated to open in June By James Costello Sports Editor

PLYMOUTH — Ted Hayden can’t sleep at night. But it’s not insomnia that’s keeping him awake. It’s the anticipation of a longtime dream finally fulfilled. Construction is already underway for The Zone, an all-purpose sports complex situated at 2923 VanVactor Drive, at the former Plymouth Tennis Complex. The ambitious facility, which measures 30,000 square feet, will house four high school length basketball courts and eight volleyball courts as well as a concession stand and bathrooms. The grand opening is tentatively slated for the first week of June. “Every time I’ve walked into a gym for the last seven or eight years, watching tournaments, going to tournaments, coaching in tournaments, I’ve just always kind of had this dream of being able to duplicate what other

gyms have done but do it better,” said Hayden. “In our community, everybody has to go to South Bend. Especially the southern counties, they bypass us, and it’s a 45-minute, an hour drive. It’s just a great location to do it as well as there is nothing around here for kids to be able to develop their speed, strength and agility relative to their sport. “I want to change the face of the community. I want to stay home sometimes and play and have activities here where we’re not spending money in other cities. We can bring money here and stay at home and stay in our backyard a little bit more.” When Hayden first conceived of his dream, he dared to dream big. Driving past the old Plymouth Tennis Complex the past five years, Hayden wondered what was inside. Last September he finally decided to see for himself. About three weeks ago,

Hayden partnered with local entrepreneurs Rick and Barb Miller and soon started leasing to own the building, and construction finally began a week later. Once completed, The Zone will be a sort of one-stopshopping center for youth sports. The facility, which will keep its doors open seven days a week, yearround, will provide in-house and travel basketball and volleyball league opportunities for various age groups, as well as batting cages for baseball and softball players looking to hone their craft in the offseason. In addition to individualized training and group clinics and camps, there will be exposure tournaments where college coaches will be invited for recruiting purposes, sportsspecific training conducted by a full-time athletic trainer, rehabilitation services provided by an on-staff doctor to help injured student-athletes get back to their full

strength, and there are even plans in the works for quarterly MMA events to be coordinated by the Miller’s son Ricky, a professional Mixed Martial Artist. During events, spectators will also be able to enjoy snacks at the concession stand — which will include Mooney’s Ice Cream — or parents can treat their young athletes to a little post-game treat. “I think there’s a huge need in the community,” said Hayden. “I think it’s a huge boost for the community, and I hope that everybody is able to enjoy it and get out of it what we’re going to put in it because we’re going to do our best to make sure that this not only changes the lives of children but also changes our community and how we look at things and growing and moving forward.” “It’s really a smorgasbord

Chicago Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford (50) and defenseman Duncan Keith (2) celebrate a 1-0 win against the Minnesota Wild during Game 3 of a second-round Western Conference series at the Xcel Center in St. Paul, Minn., on Tuesday.

Kane, Crawford carry Blackhawks past Wild 1-0 for 3-0 lead

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Patrick Kane has been playing like he never left. Corey Crawford has resolutely rebounded from being benched. The Chicago Blackhawks have only begun to rev up their game, and the Minnesota Wild have lost their touch at the wrong time. Kane scored on a power play in the first period, and Crawford and the Blackhawks made the superstar’s goal stand up for a 1-0 win over the Wild on Tuesday to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the Western Conference semifinals. “Obviously we’d be very happy if you told us we’d be in this position before the series,” said Kane, who has six goals and five assists in nine playoff games to bounce back from the broken collarbone that kept him of the last quarter of the regular season. “We have to keep it going. We know the hardest game is the one to close it out.” Game 4 is in Minnesota again on Thursday. “Two things: character and belief,” Wild coach Mike Yeo said. “There will be no feeling sorry for ourselves. Obviously we’re disappointed to be in this spot, but we’ve got to find a way.” Crawford made 30 saves, giving him 90 on 94 shots in the three games. “As much confidence as he has, we have in him,” Kane said. Stifled time after time on chance after chance in their return home, the Wild have scored just once over their last 150-plus minutes on the ice. They were at a loss, trying to explain how to crack the wall that Crawford has become. “Shoot where he isn’t, and maybe they’ll go in,” said left wing Zach Parise. The Blackhawks last led a playoff series 3-0 in the Western Conference finals against San Jose in 2010, when they went on to win the Stanley Cup. Crawford, who was pulled for Scott Darling in the first round against Nashville, returned to his post at the end of that series and has solidified it with this stellar performance against the Wild. “He’s a star against us. He’s Brodeur. He’s Roy. He’s everybody against us, so we’ve got to find a way to solve that,” Yeo said. Crawford was as stoic afterward answering questions from reporters as he was in the net. “It’s nice, but at the same time we can’t get complacent or let up. That team is going to play even harder next game,” he said. “We’ve got to do the same thing.” Crawford’s rebound control has been superb, but the defense in front of him has been quite effective, too. The Blackhawks blocked 19 shots, playing a safe, patient game after they grabbed the early lead. Patrick Sharp centered to Andrew Shaw, who poked the puck just enough to his left where Kane skated unabated up the wing with the Blackhawks on the man advantage. The 26-year-old speedster snapped a low shot that slipped past Dubnyk’s pads to quiet the buzz in the crowd. Only Tampa Bay’s Tyler Johnson has more goals in the NHL this postseason than Kane, who has nine goals and

The Zone’s Plymouth Boys Summer Basketball League coming in June

PLYMOUTH — Plans have been unveiled for The Zone’s inaugural league — The Zone’s Plymouth Boys Summer Basketball League. The first annual Plymouth Boys Summer Basketball League brought to you by The Zone Sports Complex of Northern Indiana will be held in June for age groups kindergarten through high school. Games will begin Monda,y June 8 and be held at The Zone Sports Complex — 2923 VanVactor Drive in Plymouth — and other area venues due to the expected size of the league. The cost is $400 per team plus a small web-processing fee (in the range of $15-$20). The more teams you bring, a discount will be provided (i.e. three teams from the same school would be $375 per team and four-plus teams will be $350 per team). Grades 2-7 will play on Monday nights (June 8, 15, 22, 29), while grades K-1, varsity, junior varsity and eighth grade will play on Wednesday nights (June 10, 17, 24, To Be Determined). Because of dead week for high school players June 29-July 5, an additional day/night of play on one of the weeks will be added so every team will have four play dates, playing a total of eight games. Teams will play two games per night and mainly play one night a week. The league will be under the direction of owner Ted Hayden, Doug Griffiths (activities director, activities scheduler and facility manager) and Corey Duncan (assistant activities director, assistant activities scheduler and assistant facility manager). All registrations and payments will be handled on The Zone’s website, which can be found at thezonesportscomplex. org when it is unveiled within the next week. Team roster forms and waivers will also be available online. To secure your team’s spot in the league please contact Doug (at 574-210-3880 or [email protected]) or Corey ([email protected] or [email protected]).

The Zone Sports Complex of Northern Indiana is a 30,000-square foot facility. It is located in the old Plymouth Tennis Center building and is being completely renovated for basketball leagues, camps, clinics, tournaments and individual training. The Zone will also have volleyball courts, indoor soccer on FieldTurf, baseball and softball batting cages, flag football and much more. The Zone will have four brand new IHSAA full courts.

Dream cont. from Page B1 of a youth sports facility,” explained activities director, scheduler and facility manager Doug Griffiths. “Whatever the season is, and of course now sports, whatever your specific sport or sports that you love are, it’s a year-round endeavor. The thing that’s going to make The Zone so great is we’re going to have ample space, tons of available trainers and experts in each sports-specific field to make your son or daughter as good as they want to be and reach their potential, all with the mission of enjoying that sport. Because that’s really the name of the game. “I feel like a kid in a candy store, but I think parents are going to feel like it’s sort of Christmas shopping, if you will, throughout the course of the year where they can just pick and choose whatever league, clinic, whatever they want their son or daughter to be involved in. It’s going to be right at their fingertips and in their backyard.” As if the initial edifice weren’t ambitious enough, Hayden and company are seeking permits to construct an adjacent building that would house a 180- by 100-foot FieldTurf playing surface for soccer leagues, camps, tournaments and one-on-one training as well as flag football, lacrosse and baseball/ softball training, and they hope to have that facility completed sometime in October. Longtime Argos soccer fixture Andy Stone, who has headed the Argos Junior High boys soccer team the past three years while also helping out with the varsity boys and girls AHS soccer programs, has been tabbed to run that second facility. “What it’s going to offer is a chance to take the kids’ games at any age, and it’s going to allow them to have the time and practice opportunity to take it to the next level,” said Stone. “This is something that we’ve discussed — my family, my brothers they coach, and my brother-in-law is the varsity coach for the boys high school team in Argos — and a lot of us that have played for many years, we’ve always discussed how we needed something more local than the South Bend and Elkhart area. This is going to give kids in the southern part of our county, Fulton County, Pulaski, all these kids are going to have a place to come to and really step up their game. “This is going to give them a place to go to work on the sport that they love.” Hayden, who has been deeply involved with youth sports from the kindergarten to the collegiate level as both a referee and coach — most recently, he’s served as a Plymouth High School freshman girls basketball coach

Ted Hayden, co-owner of The Zone Sports Complex, still under construction. for the past decade — pulled out all the stops using the connections he’s made over the years to assemble a staff that represents a kind of who’s-who in area athletics. Along with Stone and Griffiths, the former program coordinator at the LifePlex, former Plymouth High School varsity assistant girls basketball coach and current LaVille eighth grade girls basketball coach Corey Duncan has come onboard as Griffiths’ assistant scheduler and coordinator. Cody Hite will serve as The Zone’s personal trainer, and Dr. Jeff Sheedy will serve as facility physician. Less locally but even more prominently, former Purdue University starter and professional basketball player Brandon McKnight will serve as the manager of basketball skills and development. “Between Ted and so many people associated with the facility I really think we’ve assembled a dream team — everyone from Corey Duncan, and Andy Stone is going to be our director of soccer, and there’s no one in our area that knows the sport better than him. Ted, with his connections with youth basketball. Dan Dewar’s going to be involved. Obviously, Rick Miller will be another one of the owners. Cody Hite, the trainer and Dr. Jeff Sheedy, and then you bring in somebody with the clout of a Brandon McKnight, who started at Purdue. The staff is only going to grow like the facility is going to grow,” said Griffiths. Through his staff’s connections, Hayden’s own extensive network of contacts has only grown. Because of that fact, an all-star roster of experts is expected to stage camps and other events at The Zone once the complex is

fully open. Current Minnesota Timberwolves player and Purdue alum Robbie Hummel is expected to hold a hoops camp sometime this summer. If all things go as planned with the indoor turf facility, the Chicago Fire Major League Soccer team will likely hold a camp there next January. And Haitian women’s national football (soccer) team coach Shek Borkowski will bring his team there to host camps and clinics. Also through the Borkowski connection, the FC Indiana, a Women’s Professional Soccer League Elite League team, will make the facility its home for the indoor season, with six to seven home games on the schedule. In short, The Zone will bring an assortment of sports-related services, activities and top-level training to area student-athletes in a variety of sports and at various levels, on a year-round basis. The complex could also help give a boost to the local economy. But lest you think it’s all serious business, the main mission is to have fun, say staff members. And of course there are life lessons to be learned as well. Hayden, who also owns Prairie View Therapeutic Group Homes, frequently came back to that theme while discussing the project. “I’ve coached a lot of kids, and hopefully I’ve changed a lot of lives and got them on the right track and developed skills and work ethic and self-esteem and a positive outlook on moving forward in their life,” he said. “That’s what I do at the group home, and that’s what our staff does at the group home. We’re making a difference and changing lives, and we do that every day. That’s the same concept I want to have with The Zone. I want to keep these kids focused. There is so much stuff out there right now that they could get into. I want to try to deter them away from that and get them focused on long term goals, on what they want to do for a living and just how to be a part of something special — how to be a good teammate, how to be positive, how to work together, how to communicate, how to act and react in adversity. That is kind of my outlook on why I want to do this.” If you want to learn more about The Zone Sports Complex, look them up on Facebook at the zone sports complex of northern indiana. Or you can visit their website thezonesportscomplex. org when the site goes online later this week. Editor’s note: Doug Griffiths is a parttime staff writer for the Pilot News.

Hawks cont. from Page B1 six assists in the 14 playoff games against the Wild over the last three years. “He has a hot stick. He’s dangerous,” Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “I think he gives a lot of different looks for the goalies. They don’t know where

it’s coming off his stick, and it has some torque on it as well.” Jason Pominville and Thomas Vanek particularly struggled to get shots on target, their frustration obvious. Mikael Granlund had a breakaway in the second

period, but Crawford denied him with his blocker. The Wild brought the most productive power play in the league into these playoffs, with six conversions in 17 attempts entering this game. But they fell flat with an 0-for-3 performance that

included no shots on goal on two of the opportunities. “They’ve got a lot of firepower. They defend well. They’re good off the rush, and you can’t get caught into that run and gun. If you do, they’ll find ways to put it in,” Pominville said.

Miller’s Assisted Living honors volunteers PLYMOUTH — The staff of Miller’s Assisted Living Facility recently honored its volunteers with a banquet held at the facility. The theme of the evening was “We Fall To Pieces Without You” with each volunteer receiving a colorful puzzle piece magnet which had the quote on it. The marketing and activity directors made the magnets and the puzzle piece placemats. The food was served on brightly colored plates that matched the placemats and napkins. The Miller’s dietary department served homemade Swiss steak, grilled chicken, green beans, baked potatoes and strawberry pie. Anna Corbett, marketing director welcomed the volunteers to the facility. Volunteer Suzanne Smith of Bourbon opened the evening in prayer. Following the meal activity director Cindy Flagg shared several Scripture verses that told about the importance of volunteering and helping those in need. Scriptures shared were Acts 20:36, Matthew 25:40 and I Peter 4:10. Flagg talked about people often volunteer thinking they are going to “give” something wonderful to the residents they are helping. And in the end the volunteer receives so much more than they give. She ended by reading Philippians 1:3 and talked about how thankful she and the residents are to have such faithful volunteers. Flagg and Corbett then called each volunteer by name. They talked a little bit about each individual and

64th annual National Day of Prayer to be held May 7 PLYMOUTH — The 64th annual National Day of Prayer is Thursday, May 7, 2015.

Diet high in saturated fat

Dustin

BY MICHAEL ROIZEN, M.D., AND MEHMET OZ, M.D.

The Urban Dictionary defines “fat-head syndrome” as someone who acts like a blowhard. But researchers at Louisiana State University’s Inflammation and Neurodegeneration Laboratory have found that a diet high in saturated fat (more than 13 percent of calories from sat fat) can cause a lot more than a bad case of know-it-all-itis! It affects your brain, and that leads to anxiety, memory problems and other not-so-great changes in behavior. Working in the lab, researchers transplanted gut bacteria from mice that ate

Blondie

a high-sat-fat diet into thin mice that ate a low-fat diet. Lo and behold, the thin mice developed brain inflammation and had behavior changes that were the same as those of their sat-fatmunching buddies. What does this mean for you? There’s every reason to think that even if you’re not overweight, eating a diet high in saturated fat throws your gut bacteria way off balance and puts you at risk

for bodywide inflammation. That means you’re in for heart and immune system problems, and brain inflammation that can affect your behavior and emotional well-being. A moderate amount of fat is essential for your good health, but it has to be the right kind: mono- and polyunsaturated, and the odd fatty omega acids 3 and 9. So aim for, at most, 25 percent of your daily calories from healthy fats. And make sure that of a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet, no more than 2 percent to 6 percent of your calories (max 120) come from saturated fat. You’ll be healthier and happier!

Moments in time

The History Channel

Chuckle of the day... A friend in need is a pest indeed.

Melodramatic serial should be canceled, not renewed

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of 10 years, “Scott,” and I separated last year. I was pregnant and hormonal at the time, and told him we would never get back together. We went a month without contact, then reconnected. While Scott was in the process of working things out with me, he had a girlfriend. He made it seem like not a big deal, but apparently it was more serious. He told her she was the love of his life and he didn’t want to lose her, etc. When our daughter was born five months later, he told me By Jeanne Phillips he was done with the other woman. They talked for a month after our baby arrived and then he cut her off. I recently found some old messages between them, and my heart shattered all over again. Scott says it was all a joke and he never meant any of it. The text messages imply otherwise. I don’t know if I should take another break to clear my head, or wait until my heartache passes. Please help. — EMOTIONAL IN THE SOUTH DEAR EMOTIONAL: If you were convinced that Scott has been completely honest, I doubt you would have searched his message history. As to his relationship with the other woman being a “joke,” I doubt she was

Dear Abby

laughing when he announced it was over. You appear to like drama. You brought this on when you told Scott the two of you would “never” reconcile. I do think you should take a break until you are less emotional, because the choices you have made so far haven’t been entirely rational. ****** DEAR ABBY: I live on soft drinks. I don’t eat real food. I can’t remember the last time I ate a hot meal, much less vegetables. I exist solely on massive amounts of soda — two two-liter bottles a day. I don’t binge and purge. Because I’m never hungry, I don’t look at it as starving myself. The last time I tried to get off the soda I got sick to my stomach, light-headed and felt out of sorts. I don’t know if I’m addicted to the caffeine, the sugar or both. This liquid diet is slowly killing me and I need help. I have expressed my concerns to my doctors and even my therapist. I don’t think they believe me or understand the extent of my problem. What would you suggest? — STUCK IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR STUCK: It appears you have an eating disorder. Because your doctor and your therapist both seem unable to understand that and help you, consider replacing them. You should also consult a licensed nutritionist who is a registered dietitian (R.D.). Caffeine and sugar withdrawal can both cause the symptoms you describe. You may have to wean yourself rather than quit cold turkey, and a nutritionist can help you to create a personalized eating program that’s right for you.

• On May 19, 1836, during a raid, Commanche Indians in Texas kidnap 9-year-old Cynthia Ann Parker and kill her family. Adopted into the Commanche tribe, she lived a happy life with them for 25 years until Texas Rangers recaptured her and forced her to live again among Anglo-Americans. Weakened by self-imposed starvation, she died of influenza. • On May 18, 1920, Karol Jozef Wojtyla is born in Poland. Wojtyla went on to become Pope John Paul II, history’s most well-traveled pope and the first non-Italian to hold the position since the 16th century. Pope John Paul II issued the Catholic Church’s first apology for its actions during World War II. • On May 21, 1932, aviator Amelia Earhart becomes the first pilot to repeat Charles Lindbergh’s feat, landing her plane in Ireland after a 2,000-mile solo flight across the North Atlantic. • On May 23, 1941, Joe “The Brown Bomber” Louis beats Buddy Baer to retain his heavyweight title at Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C.

Answers:

1. British musician David Dundas. The song was his biggest hit. 2. Neil Sedaka. It was “Bad Blood” that revived his career in 1975. 3. Jackie Wilson, in 1966. 4. “This Boy,” by the

No one-hit wonder, Almer wrote volumes of music with sophisticated lyrics, a fact that has been discovered since his death two years ago. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

HINTS FROM HELOISE HELOISE'S KITCHENEERING Will This Solution Be Scrubbed?

Dear Heloise: I like your hint about SANITIZING DISH SPONGES in the microwave. However, I use the ones with scrubbies on one side. Is it safe to put those in the microwave? - Carol, via email Yes, it is. However, check that the sponge/scrubbie has no metal pieces. Here’s a hint: Read the label on the package! DO wet the sponge before “nuking” it in the microwave. DON’T microwave a dry sponge -- it’s like asking for a fire to start. Two minutes is usually the right amount of time. Don’t “push the envelope.” -- Heloise P.S.: Folks, I don’t know what the deal is with keeping sponges FAR beyond their safe life span. Buy them when on sale; toss when it’s time! SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-5000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com FALLING FILTERS Dear Readers: You never fail me! Bonnie asked about what to do with paper coffee filters that keep collapsing. Here are a few of your hints: Stephanie, via email, said: “The solution: Use two paper filters, fitted together, each time you brew a pot of coffee. The strength of two keeps them from collapsing.” Scott, via email, said: “I rinse out the basket first so the filter sticks to the sides.” Dave V. in Little Rock, Ark., wrote: “I have the solution: Use the plastic lid from a 12ounce peanut can. I cut a large hole out of the lid

(leaving about a quarter inch of the rim). Put the filter in the basket, and place the plastic rim inside the filter. The size of your coffee-maker filter basket may dictate a different-size lid.” All good hints to help start the day on a good note! -- Heloise CAKE HINTS Dear Heloise: I spray cooking oil on cooling racks that cake or bread sits on. This way, it does not stick to the cooling rack when you take it off. Also, I use paper doilies under cakes to make them look pretty. But the cake moisture soaks into the doily, and you can end up eating the paper by mistake. Now, I cut a circle of wax paper the size of the cake and place it over the doily before placing the cake on the plate. -- Corrinne B. in Texas LABELED ONIONS Dear Heloise: We cook a lot and buy a lot of onions, which we store in a bin. To distinguish older onions from those just purchased, I affix an address label (like those from various charities) on each of the older onions in the bin. When it’s time to choose, I try to use those with a label first. Now the onions are not in the bin long enough to go bad. I can easily determine which should be used and which can wait. -- Ellen C., Rockville, Md. BREAKFAST BITES Dear Heloise: I’ve found that cutting up bread into cubes for French toast makes for a very easy and kid-friendly breakfast. I always make sure all sides have been cooked. They cook much faster when in cubes or sticks. -- Kat B., Omaha, Neb.

PLYMOUTH — The next meeting of the Marshall County Retired Teachers Association (MCRTA) is Thursday, May 14 at the MoonTree Studios on the campus of Ancilla College. As there will be two programs, the social time begins earlier than usual, at 10:45 a.m. All retired teachers and administrators in Marshall County are invited. The program scheduled for the last meeting was postponed to this meeting due to a school conflict which prevented Josh Kuhn and Kennedy Schnieders from talking about robotics and demonstrating their robot. They will present their program at 11 a.m. Lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m. The lunch costs $8. After the meal there will be a very short business meeting.
