April Center and Cyndie McKinney take time to exchange ideas and catch up. Tucked away in the northeast corner of a building housed in translucent ﬁ ber glass under a canopy of cross hatched iron there is a space that is always reserved. The space is a series of desks blanket- ed with maps of the nation and world, along with bulleted ﬂ yers, plainly designed, but which offer timeless strategies for interpreting ideas, forming connections with subjects and all manner of com- prehension strategy. Shush! We’re supposed to be quiet in here this is a library, but wait. A young boy is reading softly aloud about scor- Continued on Page 2 THE Page 2 June 27, 2013

But, she’s also wit- nessed the tenacious spirit of community volunteers. Young professionals and retirees constitute the major- ity of McKinney’s tutors who devote their time to math, reading and writing lessons. “Without my tutors, I couldn’t possi- bly keep up,” she says. “And for some of these students, the lack of one-on-one attention may be the only thing holding them back.

There’s a balance between younger and older students, but there are also other stories: immigrants learning a new language, professionals eying work promotions, which require skills to be sharpened and special-need cas- es, too. “Every time I think I want something (one kind of tutor),” says McKinney, “a billion calls come in for everything else.” Currently, over 60 volunteers work directly with about eighty students that vary from fi rst graders to adults. Some tutors teach just a few hours a week, while others maintain a roster of a couple of students at a time. McKinney said one of her rock star volunteers who works nearby tutors on his lunch break. And, they are all stars—without them—the program, which currently has a waiting list for students, wouldn’t exist. Laura Dowdle who retired with her husband in Shoreland Hills has been volunteering for three- and-a-half years and has tutored a couple of fi fth graders. She says progress isn’t always easy to see, but even a small effort can reap major rewards.

Nick Hunger and Laura Dowdle chat while waiting for their students. (Photo by M.D. Cunningham) “Anything you can do will help,” Dowdle says. “These kids want to get better, they want help and they know that you’re here to help them. It’s re- freshing to have parents and children that want to improve.” Dowdle helped to recruit Nick Hunger who re- located from Batavia, IL, and acts as a substitute teacher for Michigan City Area Schools. “It’s a fl exible program,” Hunger said of the Learning Center. “Basically, you and the student fi gure out what works best.” Continued on Page 4 THE Page 4 June 27, 2013 “With everything being electronic and less impor- tance on traditional books, libraries have to avail themselves to what the public needs,” McKinney says. “This program brings a huge amount of people that need this service.” April Center, a former contract lawyer who moved to the area to care for her parents who were living in Long Beach, said a large part of her decision to stay in the area was her involvement with the Learning Center. “This is very much a part of my life,” Center who also volunteered in similar programs in her home- town of Columbus, OH, said. “What goes on here is unlike anything that I’ve run across before. Every day you can make a difference in someone’s life.” The volunteers work for free, of course, but the gratifi cation of dedicating time to someone who needs a little extra help is instant, and in some The Learning Center’s primary space.

Marine Corps Veteran, Larry Silvestri has been tutoring on-and-off for a few years with students ranging in age from 12 to 20-years-old. “I’m 65-years-old, so I didn’t know if I could relate to a 12-year-old, but now, honestly,” he says, “I can’t tell if someone is 30-years-old or 15, at this point. There’s common ground. You can just fi nd it.” Initially, Silvestri read about the MCPL program in a local news article, and after putting his GI education award to use on an advanced degree in math and computer science, he realized he wanted to share some of the things that he learned.

(Photo courtesy of MC Public Library) This is not to say that there aren’t any challeng- es, which is why McKinney’s guidance is vital to the program. “She doesn’t like to admit it,” Center said of McK- inney, “but she’s just super. She’s superb. And the city and the library are very lucky to have her.” The Michigan City Public Library Learning Cen- ter is always mostly in need of tutors for reading and math for all ages. They also need help to get people prepared for taking the GED, citizenship test or to learn English. Call to ﬁ nd out how you can help change a life.

For the months of June, July, and August, the Historical Society will be featuring mid- century wedding gowns in an exhibit entitled, “With This Ring...” The dresses on display will be from the decades of the 1940’s, ‘50’s, ‘60’s, and ‘70’s only. The history of our country can be examined by looking at wedding fashions. Just when World War II ended and wedding gowns got to be in vogue once more, along came the 1950’s with huge hoop skirts and tiny waists, making a Cinderella silhouette. Fairy-tale weddings were proof that the economy was good. The ‘60’s were a simpler time until the Vietnam War, when waistlines became known as GREAT SUMMER “empire” and skirts were “A-line”. Then the Granny gowns of the ‘70’s, and more Empire waistlines; and PAINTING PARTY will we ever forget those strange colored tuxedoes? Also on display will be a few Mother-of-the-Bride dresses, as well as some Bridesmaid dresses. Wed- * ding photos of LaPorte County couples from the 4 % OFF decades have found a temporary home in Exhibit Hall on the lower level of the museum. Anyone 30 wishing to share a wedding photo may bring it to the museum to be copied and added to the gallery. PAINTS AND STAINS The LaPorte County Historical Society Museum is located at 2405 Indiana Avenue in LaPorte, and is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Phone ahead for admission prices at 219-324- 6767, or visit www.laportecountyhistory.org.

Many years ago there was a long running television show based on the hobby of the man who actu- ally gave away large sums of money, (one million dollars, tax-free) to total strangers. The total was over 200 million dollars. The real Mr. Tipton (who has recently passed on to his reward at the age of 94) liked to visit small towns like LaPorte, (but always in disguise) and meet average people who might be the next recipient of his benevolence. The TV show was based on the life of the real person.
