The Friends of the Ouabache State Park The effort was expected to take at least five years, but the group shattered those launched a fundraising effort to save the expectations in nine months. The tower was closed to the public in landmark, and raked in $75,000 in nine April 2015. “Ouabache State Park has lost one of quick months to get the job done its pieces of history,” a flier distributed last year read. “Due to safety concerns, the park officials have closed the access to the tower. We need to open the tower and restore it to its original splendor.” Fundraising material distributed by the Friends of Ouabache State Park asked the public to remember “that first climb up the tower,” “the thrill of making it to the top,” “holding your breath as you stared straight up all those stairs as your child participated in a rite of passage.” Ginger Murphy, one of the three deputy directors for Indiana State Parks, agrees. “It’s a rite of passage, on our proper- ties that have fire towers, for kids and families and school kids to be able to climb those fire towers,” she said at the FOOSP’s annual meeting in April, when the checks were presented to mark the end of the fundraising campaign. The effort was led by Kathy Schwartz and Jeanne Ploetz. Schwartz said the committee was formed last August and they began brainstorming ideas for fun- draising. Last year’s Bluffton Free Street Fair marked the official kick off and vari- ous events and fundraising opportunities were held over the fall, winter and spring. Then the group was approved for a $25,000 matching grant from the Wells County Foundation. They had a deadline to beat in raising the full matching funds, and did so with 13 days to spare. It was the passion of Schwartz and Ploetz, Park Manager Dustin Clark said in April, that drove the project forward. “It was a group effort,” Schwartz said in a press release. “Ideas became reality only through the efforts of many.” All park visitors, Clark said, had a story to share with him of generations walking up and down the tower. The Friends of Ouabache State Park pose in front of the fire tower in May before one of the group’s meetings. The group is credited with “The very first thing I heard (here) successfully completing a fundraising campaign to restore the tower.

  • Jeff Burdick / English 3 Sabbatical Project: Inquiry Before Advocacy 2
    1 Inquiry before Advocacy: An informal exploration of English critical thinking classes In the light of neurological sciences, And consistent with my opinionated and creative impulses. Sabbatical shares a root with Sabbath, a ceasing, and is meant to be a time of rest and rejuvenation – and rededication to the profession. This project, which leads to specific class proposals, is meant to fit into that definition. As such, formal writing has been put aside for a more leisurely and personal exploration, and layman’s language is the norm wherever possible. Exploring the cognitive sciences and applying them to my teaching has been an avocation of mine for several years, and I have enjoyed sharing insights with my students so they become better students. This project is an extension of that avocation and an extension of knowledge so my teaching is consistent with newly discovered best practices and so students can learn even more about how to “hack” their brains and “hack” the world around them so their lives, now and into the future, can be full, happy, and productive.

One of the key objectives of this E-magazine should be its usability and application. This magazine attempts to document and spark a debate on the ideas focused on multidisciplinary approach in context of emerging realms. The sectors could range from Education, Energy, Environment, Health care, Transport, Legal studies, Management, Tourism, Fine arts, Manufacturing and Service areas amongst many others. The key focus would however be on Business Administration and Research todiscuss application and usability in the societal context whether individual or industrial. This issue has been very carefully put together covering a range of human computer interface, wireless technologies, IT services, Banking etc. The contributions have come not only from Faculty Members but also from both Indian and Foreign Students pursuing various courses at Mangalayatan University. I would like to thank all the stakeholders of the University, the editorial team members, reviewers, Faculty and Students whose untiring efforts have made this issue possible. We hope that the various articles featuring here set up many new milestones and avenues for further deliberations. I look forward to make this endeavor very meaningful in future too.

Fisher: Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Atterbury Fish & Wildlife Area, 7970 South Rowe Street, P.O. Box 3000, Edinburgh, Indiana 46124 USA ABSTRACT. Seventy-five species of freshwater mussels (Order Unionoida) have historically inhabited the Wabash River drainage of Indiana. Nine of these species have always been restricted to Wabash River tributaries and never maintained reproducing populations in the mainstem Wabash River. Of the 66 re- maining species, 18 are currently considered extirpated from the entire drainage and 18 maintain repro- ducing populations only in Wabash River tributaries. Currently, 30 species maintain reproducing popula- tions in the mainstem Wabash River, which represents a 55% reduction in its freshwater mussel fauna. To date, the entire Wabash River drainage of Indiana has seen a 24% reduction in its freshwater mussel fauna.
