The Steuben County Lakes Council, Inc. has had a perfect example working for us right here in Steuben County. The organization was established in 1972 because of concern to protect the quality of water in the lakes and streams in the county. For the past twenty-five years, one man has volunteered hundreds of hours of his time and talents to serve as treasurer of the organization. Charles Goodale is a name we will all remember long and well for his service to us. Having been a professor at Tri-State University teaching others how to succeed in accounting, he was well versed in the knowledge it took to manage the finances of this organization. He did it all—from creating a budget to filing the taxes and necessary government papers at the end of the year. START OF WATER QUALITY DATA That is not all he did. Being familiar with the tricks of the trade of the modern new (to many of us) computer systems, he could set up programs and PROJECT produce more fact sheets than most of us and, (with less effort as well), produce Submitted by Jim Aikman, Water Quality Committee Member more reports on the progress or failure of our work than you could imagine.

  • Pokagon State Park Guide
    KETTLES AND KAMES The distinctive landscape of Indiana’s Pokagon State Park is a legacy of the most recent Ice Age. Although the Pleistocene Epoch began about 2.6 million years ago, today one can see only the effects of the most recent continental glacier from the Wisconsin age. The irregularly shaped hills, bogs, and lakes are underlain by an assortment of materials that melted from a rugged disintegrating ice sheet a mere 14,000 years ago. Kettle lakes Lake Lonidaw is one of the kettle lakes that formed as the Wisconsin-age glacier retreated. Large blocks of ice broke free from the glacier and were buried under insulating debris. The ice slowly melted, leaving behind a water-filled depression. Morainal landscape The steeply rolling hills, bogs, and interconnected lakes of the park bear witness to the massive ice sheets that advanced over and then melted from this part of the Midwest. & Water Survey. Glacial erratics This former Canadian resident arrived in one of the glacial advances into central Indiana. Many of these trans- ported rocks and boulders, known as “glacial erratics,” are in evidence throughout the park. Lake James THE GEOLOGIC STORY The Northern Moraine and Lake Region, in which Pokagon State Park is located, is noted of Pokagon State Park for its beautiful scenery and lakes — a land- scape created by glaciers. The third largest natural lake in Indiana, Lake James covers 1,140 acres and is 88 feet deep. It is one of the many kettle lakes in the region and was formed by the slow melting of a buried ice block.

As the glacier retreated, it left hundreds of lakes in northeastern Indiana.1 These lakes eventually gave rise to the phrase “lake life” and have been a center for recreational activities for over a century. “Lake life” has become an important part of culture in northeastern Indiana. Hoosiers will even refer to “going to the lake,” without specifying which lake they are going to.

  • Pioneer Founders of Indiana 2014
    The Society of Indiana Pioneers "To Honor the Memory and the Work of the Pioneers of Indiana" Pioneer Founders of Indiana 2014 The Society of Indiana Pioneers is seeking to identify Indiana Pioneers to recognize and honor their efforts in building early Indiana foundations. Each year, 15-20 counties are to be selected for honoring pioneers at each annual meeting. The task of covering all 92 counties will be completed by 2016, the year we celebrate the centennial of the founding of the Society of Indiana Pioneers. For 2014, the Indiana counties include the following: Adams, Decatur, Fountain, Grant, Jasper, Jay, Jennings, LaGrange, Marion Martin, Owen, Pulaski, Ripley, Spencer, Steuben, Vermillion, Wabash, Warrick Office: 140 North Senate Avenue, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204-2207 (317) 233-6588 www.indianapioneers.org [email protected] The Pioneer Founders of Indiana Program 2014 “To honor the memory and the work of the pioneers of Indiana” has been the purpose and motto of The Society of Indiana Pioneers from the very beginning. In fact, these words compose the second article of our Articles of Association. We carry out this mission of the Society in three distinct ways: 1.) we maintain a rich Pioneer Ancestor Database of proven ancestors of members across one hundred years; 2.) Spring and Fall Hoosier Heritage Pilgrimages to significant historic and cultural sites across Indiana; and 3.) educational initiatives, led by graduate fellowships in pioneer Indiana history at the master’s thesis and doctoral dissertation levels. To commemorate the Society’s centennial and the state’s bicentennial in 2016, the Society is doing something new and dipping its toes in the world of publishing.
