THE May 26, 2011 Page 3 Memorial Day by Maggie Beyer A day is marked across the land In small town squares, The Veterans stand.

From Flanders Field where poppies grow; To Arlington’s white row on row; At Punch Bowl’s etched and arbored walls, The drums roll out…the bugle calls;

Each stone engraved or nameless cross, Becomes memorial to a loss; A ﬂ owered wreath, eternal ﬂ ame, With honor says, This life is named.

And we have promises to keep, To those who lie in hard won sleep.

Soundless voices not so still, May hope to teach; They can…and will.

In Flanders Fields In Flanders ﬁ elds the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, ﬂ y. Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders ﬁ elds.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high, If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders ﬁ elds. ----written by Colonel John McCrae, surgeon, Canada’s First Brigade Artillery, World War I THE Page 4 May 26, 2011 Academic Super Bowl Winners

Notre Dame Catholic School competed in the Academic Super Bowl at LaPorte High School on Sat., April 30, and won high honors. Its teams consisted of students in grades 6 – 8 and earned ﬁ rst place in Math- ematics, ﬁ rst place in Interdisciplinary, and second place in Social Studies. On the state level, Notre Dame is recognized as one of the Top 10 teams out of 45 in Class 4 schools. This year’s theme was Latin America. The teams studied areas, such as culture, architecture, leaders, numbering system, and the calendar for the Mayans, Incas, and Aztecs. Additionally, English team members read the novels Taking Sides and City of the Beasts. Members pe- rused packets of information, trained after school, and staged practice rounds to prepare. Members of the team were Kristi Koehm, Eileen Latchford, Nicole Maroney, Alejandro Miller, Ethan Mu- rillo, Emily Murray, Liam Roder, Jack Ruszkowski, Noah Scherf, Maggie Seizys, Tara Seizys, Sarah Smith, Rhiggs Thomas, Grace Troy, and Emma Wangstrom.

Singing in the closest of harmony, squabbling boyishly over the smallest intonations and executing their charmingly outlandish choreography with over-zealous precision, the “Plaids” are a guaranteed smash, with a program of beloved songs and delightful patter that keeps audiences rolling 74’ of Lake Michigan frontage with a sea in the aisles when they’re not humming along to wall in the heart of Long Beach. $999,000 some of the great nostalgic pop hits of the '50s.

Arboriculture is the art and science of maintaining trees as part of a complex system in our environment. The aim is to keep a constant balance of the ecosystem in order to reduce disease and death and maintain vigor and growth. Hello from my new home in Arizona. It took a while before I was able to unpack, get at least a little settled, and obtain a new internet service pro- vider; thus there was no column last week. I left my dinosaur of a desktop behind in Indiana, and brought my dinosaur of a laptop with me to the Grand Canyon state. I didn’t know my trusty laptop was what geeks would consider obsolete until the guy who hooked me up to a satellite dish told me so. I guess 256 mg of Ram is rather pathetic. Slow as syrup, it is. My Magic Jack phone hookup has been a blessing when it comes to staying in touch with contacts back home. I still have my 219 area code. I’ve tried to change it to the more current 928, but the company wants to charge me for doing that. And internet, however you order it (satellite, cable or dial up) is more expensive here. Count your lucky stars, readers. Our Cottonwood library, a very nice one for a town of 12,000, lets you have internet access for 60 minutes at a time.

Washington St., South Bend, IN, provides a real-time glimpse of the past through rarely-seen or newly-discovered pictures that tell stories of local history. Many pictures given by the public to the Center for History during their recent photograph-collection initiative will be featured in the exhibit. Your Photos, Our History, on view through August 14, is sponsored by the South Bend Tribune. Many of us take snapshots of historic events, such as when famous people visit the community. We also photograph parades, festivals, sports, and other public activities. These as well as pictures of day-to-day life can be meaningful in telling local history. It is for this reason that the Center for His- tory has been collecting photographs over the past six months as part of its major new project to ﬁ nd, identify, and preserve the community’s photographic heritage. Images that have rarely, if ever, been on public display before will be featured in the exhibit. A picture of a Grand Trunk Western Railroad locomotive involved in a 1930s wreck in downtown South Bend is one of several photographs depicting local disas- ters. States Barb Whiteman, Exhibits Coordinator at the Center for History, “Over 300 photographs will be on view in Your Photos, Our History. One of the oldest is an 1860s picture of downtown South Bend. Through digital technology, visitors can see a fasci- nating collage of pictures depicting how the city has evolved through years. As we’ve developed the exhibit, it has been intriguing to discover new images that show local history. An entire series of photos has given us new insights into Prohibition in the area.” Center for History hours are Mon.-Sat., 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Sun., noon-5:00 p.m. (East- ern time). Admission is $8/adult, $6.50/seniors, $5/ youth, and free/members. Guided tours of the Oli- Worship in Comfort ver Mansion, also on site, are offered at 11 a.m., 1 Come as You Are p.m. & 2 p.m., Mon.-Sat., and 1 & 2:30 p.m. on Sun.

He shot Offi cer Skelley twice in the chest and once in the back, then sped away at a high rate of speed. Burke was driving too fast and did not negotiate a turn near Red Arrow Highway. Both wheels on the right side of the car were knocked off. Burke then came upon a man who was selling linens door- to-door with his wife. Burke stuck a .38 in the car window and told the man, “Drive.” They took off, but Burke got violently ill so they stopped at a drug store. Burke went inside for medicine, came out and carjacked another vehicle. Berrien County detectives received a call that an offi cer was shot.

The group contributed $3,000 to match a $3,000 donation from Pilot International Foundation to cover the purchase and installation of a vertical lift at Reins of Life’s Michigan City fa- cility. The Michigan City Community Enrichment Corporation also awarded $19,000 toward the project. The vertical platform lift and stairway has been installed in the arena area and is capable of carry- ing riders from the arena into an upstairs gather- ing place. The upstairs was previously inaccessible to most of the riders with disabilities that Reins serves. The lift is now fully operational and the staff demonstrated its use with a rider during the presentation. The Pilot Club is a service club dedicated to pro- moting awareness of brain disorders and serving those affected. Ninety percent of clients benefi tting from this project are affected by brain–related disorders or disabilities. Reins of Life is a nonprofi t organization that provides equine-assisted activities to children and adults with disabilities at its two facilities in South Bend and Michigan City.
