The landscape is varied and surprising, a new formation around every bend. The three major lakes in the Bloomington area come up like surprises, a glistening oasis just beyond a hillcrest. Each lake is nestled in a ravine, created as a fresh water source and recreation area. Beyond that similarity, each lake is distinct in its offerings and experiences. Griffy Lake is convenient and quiet, a quick reprieve from the bustle of campus and downtown. Lake Lemon is lined with homes and guesthouses, a family- friendly vacation spot. Monroe Lake is massive, with plenty of space for fast boating and quiet fishing. These lakes sustain us. They provide a refuge from the rest of the world, a place to decompress or to reenergize, or both. This guide can help you find the perfect water-based getaway. All you have to do is find a time to get away. A trip to the lake involves lots of time on the water, but there are plenty of places to go on land to make your trip complete. Plus, a few hours out of the water means those fingers won’t be pruney. 4 SNACKS Stop by Bloomingfoods, our nationally recognized co-op, for tasty and healthy treats to take with you on the boat or hike.

  • Anniversary Bloomington United Presbyterian Church
    1833 175 th Anniversary 9th and College: 1871-1951 2008 Bloomington United Presbyterian Church Bloomington UPC Today: 2 nd and Eastside, since 1952 1 WHEN IT ALL BEGAN The year was not just any year, 1833. The people, their cause, their church that is our church, their chosen town that is our town, the university that they helped nurture from infancy, all are what we celebrate with this 175 th anniversary of the founding of what we know and cherish now as United Presbyterian Church, 2 nd and Eastside streets, Bloomington. Saturday, Sept. 7, 1833, fourteen members and two elders participated in the charter meeting for the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church in downtown Bloomington. Downtown was Bloomington. The city’s history says Bloomington began in 1818 when a public square – 92 yards on each side, surrounding streets 27½ yards wide – was laid out in a wheat field. By January 1819, 30 families had bought lots at public auction and taken up residence. Stores, taverns and industries, the first log courthouse with a library next door, all were in place by 1821, and the southside lot designated by federal action for establishment of an institution of public instruction, Seminary Square, was being readied for business. Indiana Seminary, with 12 students and one teacher, opened in 1825 and became Indiana College in 1829. The next year, 1830, Tom Lincoln moved his family with 21-year-old son Abraham from less than 100 miles from Bloomington in southern Indiana to Illinois. And then came 1833. On Jan. 1, the word “Hoosier” was first used in print as a name for Indiana residents.

  • Fall 2010 Issue
    It’s Dry in Indiana ~ Bill Jones It has been another “feast or famine” year with precipitation here in Indiana. Despite a spring and early summer with abundant rain, the lack of significant precipitation during the past three months had left much of Indiana either dry or in a drought condition. Conditions are worse in the south where parts of Lawrence, Jackson, Washington, Jennings, and Scott counties are listed as “extreme drought” in the October 19 version of the Drought Monitor, published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (http:// www.drought.unl.edu/dm/monitor.html). Much of the southern half of Indiana is listed as “severe drought” (Figure 1). The lack of rain has caused some low reservoir levels in southern Indiana. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reports that Monroe Reservoir, Indiana’s largest at 10,750 acres, is 2.4 feet below normal. So how much water is this, you may ask? A little calculation shows that the amount of Fall 2010 Vol. 22, No. 3 D0 Abnormally Dry D1 Drought – Moderate D2 Drought – Severe D3 Drought – Extreme D4 Drought – Exceptional Figure 1.
