Humidity Holiday

This has been one odd year for weather. For a while it looked like there wasn't gonna be any spring. We went right from a long, slow winter to an oppressive summer. But I was wrong. We did get a spring. It was just scattered throughout summer like sugar on top of cereal. We get a few days here and there, between high spikes in temperature. Every few days my wife Jennie will walk in from outdoors and say something like, "You know, it isn't really all that bad outside. We ought to open the windows." So off goes the air conditioner, up go the windows, and a cool, dry breeze wafts through the curtains into die house. We take a deep breath. Ahhh! This is nice. A Humidity Holiday.

For a day or two it was heavenly, but suddenly we'd both realize that we were feeling moist, sticky, muggy, and humid. We looked at each other, shut the windows, and

turned the air conditioner back on. Some people are comfortable, even happy in this kind of weather, and to all of you I say, "Wonderful! Enjoy!" Like tomatoes. Okay, tomatoes are not people, but they love humidity. But I'm not a tomato. I grew up out west, where it gets cool every night all summer long because it's a dry heat. We never had an air conditioner when I was a kid. We didn't need it. When 1 was a kid I lived on the Navy Base in Norfolk, Virginia, where it got pretty muggy. The only escape was the air conditioning you found in a movie theater. Oh, sometimes we'd hang a sheet in front of a fan to cool things down, but mostly we dripped sweat and endured it. But now with air conditioning we don't have to. So we don't. Still, those humidity holidays we got were wonderful. Life savers. I started a bee hive earlier this year. It was actually 29 degrees the day I installed the bees into the hive, and I had to feed them sugar syrup for a few weeks until there were blossoms with nectar for them to harvest. It's a pretty docile, pleasant hive, especially on the springlike days. We placed the hive inside a gated garden to keep the dogs out and provide it both morning sunshine and afternoon shade. Jennie's been doing a lot of planting and weeding right next to the hive, but the bees show no interest in her presence. They've got important work to do. On days when it got especially hot and muggy the bees reacted like humans. They got irritable when the humidity went up. It was hot and muggy when Jennie tried to garden the other day. The bees were irritable. They buzzed Jennie around her head. She's been around bees enough to know that when the hive talks, it's wise to listen. She put away her tools and went indoors. Someday autumn will really arrive,. That would mean the Humidity Holiday is here to stay. I, for one, say "Hurrah!" Now if only we could guarantee we'd have summer days during the middle of winter. After a week with lows around zero I know we'd all love a couple of days in the nineties, just to remember what it was like.

State seeks safer Hoosier schools

Expanding mental health services one key to improved security

With the May 25 Noblesville middle school shooting still fresh in everyone's minds, Anderson Community Schools started its academic year with an all-staff meeting dedicated to school security. "We had staff with kids" who attended Noblesville West Middle School when the shooting occurred, said Anderson schools Superintendent Tun Smith. Many of Anderson's employees have colleagues and friends who work in the Noblesville school district. In that incident, a 13-year-old student shot and injured teacher Jason Seaman and student Ella Whistler, who was shot seven times. In response, Seaman wrestled the shooter to the ground. "It brought it home really quick for a lot of people," Smith said. So at the start of the 2018-19 school year, "We wanted to address [school security] head on ... It's a

Through the agency of Albert Waver of Goshen and Chas. Miller of Nappanee, a large real estate deal was transacted whereby John H. Arnold of New Paris exchanged his 156 acre farm in Elkhart township to Walter and Burton Uline of Nappanee for four houses and lots in Uline's first addition to ffie town of Nappanee. The consideration of value of real estate exchanged was $29,300. The Uline brothers expect to arrange a fine stock farm of this property. 75 YEARS AGO SEPTEMBER 30, 1943 Imagine the consternation of bank employees on Monday of this week when Rial Stillson walked into the bank carrying a pail, walked behind the counter, and poured a pailful of pennies upon Ed Strope's desk. Rial had sold a bond to Orres Mishler and as part payment on it turned ip pennies,, which had accumulated over the last month on it with the understanding the bank was to do the counting. Though feeling much imposed upon those in the bank began the big job - Mishler relenting and finally coming to their assistance by helping count and wrap the small change. Over 300 pennies were in the lot. 4 A group of local girls met on Monday evening at the home of Mrs. Herbert Stamets with a group of Warsaw girls to make plans for starting a local "Sorority Organization.” Officers elected during the meeting were: president Jean Harter, vice-president Bette Tobias, treasurer Ellen Jean Pippen, recording secretary Rosemary Martin, corresponding secretary Shirlee Walters, historian Ruby Miller, davia editor Mary Ellen Neterer, sargent-at-arms Helyn Stump, and publiaty agents Jeanne Rensberger and Donabelle Huffman.

top priority for all districts right now." School safety is also a priority of Gov. Eric Holcomb, who earlier this year requested a team of state leaders and other experts examine existing school protections and explore new ways to keep schools safe. A report with 18 recommendations was released Aug. 10, with four implemented immediately. The governor is awaiting a fiscal analysis of other proposals as he determines his 2019 legislative and administrative priorities. Some of the recommendations would require legislative action, inducting additional funding. The report's recommendations focus on three areas: enhanced mental health services; safety equipment/ technology/tools and training; and policy or legislative considerations. "The state's r01e... is mak-

ing sure everyone is on a level playing field to make their schools are as safe as possible for students and educators," said David Hosick, communications director with the Indiana Department of Homeland Security. MBfIAL HEALTH Expanding mental health services available to school districts is seen as a significant way to prevent future school violence. "We found that it varied quite a, bit from district to district, from county to county, as to what mental health resources were available to schools and counties across the state," Hosick said. In the report, it is estimated only 60 to 70 p ercent of schools provide access to mental health services, typically through contractual arrangements with a community mental health center or other service providers.

50 YEARS AGO OCTOBER 3,1968 Plans are underway to form a second Kiwarus Club in Nappanee. This is being done with the blessing of the existing club. There are several men who are out of town during the day who would like to be involved in the work of Kiwanis, but who are unable to attend a noon meeting. A group of these men have met and petitioned for the formation of a new club. It has been decided to meet for breakfast at the Wayside every Monday from 7 to 8 a.m. Everything will be conducted as a regular Kiwanis club. Four volunteers with the summer recreation program were given special recognition at the meeting of the Board of Parks and Recreation. They were presented engraved desk accessories bearing the figure of a ball player. Mrs. Don Guckenberger and Mrs. Kenneth Mitschelen were in charge of the girls softball teams, a program established in the summer of 1967. More than 50 girls played for three nights a week over a period of eight weeks. Also recognized was William Svyantek, high school football coach, and Ralph Tobias, a park employee, who took over the Little League All Stars and inaugurated the intercity competition. This aUbwecTßib teams to compete agaift&l schools such as Argos, BreJheh, Meritone, LaPfii;' arid BourbSn. 25 YEARS AGO SEPTEMBER 29,1993 The Woodview Elementary Family Association has been formed, after a year of planning and working to establish a new and dynamic organization which can support the education of children. The parent-teacher organization has adopted by-laws, and the executive board has announced the desire to involve families in a broad and enthusiastic way.
