The Evelyn Lehman Culp Heritage Center is host to a new exhibit featuring hundreds of campaign buttons and other political memorabilia through ’ Nov. 17. Much of the exhibit is on loan from Dr. John Hinton of Indianapolis, a Nappanee native who has been active in politics for most of his adult life. One focal point of his collection is an 1888 Harrison, Hovey, Hoynes and HubbeQ Nappanee Republican Club ribbon supporting the campaign of Benjamin Harrison, who ran against Grover Cleveland for President of the United States in 1888. Harrison, die only Indiana resident to be elected President, won the electoral vote 233-168, although Cleveland won the popular vote. His running mates included Alvin Peterson Hovey, a Union general during the Civil War Indiana Supreme Court Justice, Congressman and the 21st Governor of Indiana from 1888 to 1891; William Hoynes, a Republican candidate for Congress in 1888; and Orrin Z. Hubbell of Elkhart, who was successfully elected to the State Senate in 1888.

Biography: I suppose I have been delivered to you in part by the recent recession we have battled for far too many years now. My wife was a victim of mass layoffs at two companies, most recently last year at Caterpillar, Inc. in Peoria, 111. She was fortunate enough to land a job with a medical device manufacturer in Warsaw, which we have called home since last December. Originally from Bloomington, I went to Franklin College right out of high school in 1992. My media career began in 2000 in West Palm Beach,

Fla., where I worked at an AM news/talk radio station, most notably during the unforgettable presidential election recount. With everything * we've been through as a country and people since then, that seems like a hundred years ago. In 2001, I decided to go back to school to get my journalism degree, and did so at lUPUI. I worked for Indianapolis' ESPN radio affiliate for two years before getting into the print business at a newspaper in Avon, just west of Indy. There I covered everything from the NFL to Little League, got married and started a family. In August, 2008, my wife took the job with Caterpillar one we thought would last forever.

Thankfully, Maggie Nixon at the Pilot News in Plymouth brought me on as a sports stringer last spring. Now, I'm here to tell your stories. I've been involved in sports journalism my entire career, but I sincerely anticipate learning more about local government and our communities while providing you the best coverage possible. 1 am here to serve you, so if there's something you think we can do better, just let me know. In the meantime, I look forward to meeting more and more of you each day.
