They are headquartered at Fort Myer, VA, the Army post which is located next to the cemetery. A member of the Old Guard on duty. Those who wish to serve as tomb guards must be in excellent physical condition, be between 5 ft. 10 inches and 6 ft. 4 inches tall, have an unblemished record, and “impeccable military bearing.” They must commit to at least nine months of service, and afterward, are allowed to wear the Tomb Identifi cation Badge. The design is an in- verted open laurel wreath sur- rounding a representation of the front of the Tomb. The words “Honor Guard” are imprinted at the base of the badge. This becomes a permanent part of the uniform. Over 500 badges have been awarded since the 1950s. The sentinels rotate their walks every hour on the hour in the winter, and every half hour in the day during the summer. When the cemetery is closed, the changing of the guards takes place every two hours. And what is the walk? 21 steps, a nod to the 21 gun salute, the highest military honor given. While this unit is largely male dominated, there have been three female Sentinels. You can visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier 7 days a week, 365 days a year: 8 a.m.-7 p.m. (April- September) and 8 a.m.-5 p.m. (Octo- ber-March).

Tom worked behind the scenes. “He is so handy,” Betty said of her husband. “He really is a renaissance man. I always say, there is nothing my husband can’t do.” During those early days, Betty recalls walking around the store in disbelief. “It really was a dream come true,” she said. “I was tickled pink. I would walk in and say, ‘These books are all mine’.” Over the years, The Bookstore forged a strong relationship with local schools, attracting popular children’s authors like Tomie dePaola, Richard Peck and Eric Carle. The Pellegrinis also met, and in some cases dined with, popular authors such as Michael Connelly (“The Lincoln Lawyer”) and Ste- phenie Meyer (the “Twilight” saga). The Bookstore employee Jeneane Webster.

That always makes my day.” As for the Pellegrinis, they expect the doors of The Bookstore to close by May’s end. They have one last author visit planned on May 24 with children’s author/illustrator Mark Teague. For the past 2 1/2 years, they’ve divided their time between Tennessee and Florida.

It was in 2010, the Pellegrinis say, two years after the economy took a turn for the worse, that business for The Bookstore began a steady decline.

I’ve really grown. I’ve learned a lot because of them.” Webster has been with the store eight years and fellow employee Maryann Smith about nine.

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 52 May23, 2013 All Aboard for Learning and Family Fun! Hesston Steam Museum Previews the 2013 Season

Area schools may soon be closing for the summer, but the learning never ends - and family fun is just beginning - at the Hesston Steam Museum. It all begins this Memorial Day weekend and all summer long - just a quick car ride away in nearby Hesston, Indiana. Volunteers are excited to open the 2013 operating season at the Hesston Steam Museum, where trains depart from a replica 1900’s era depot and take your family on a journey back to a bygone era on a 2 1/2 mile scenic railroad. NEW FOR 2013 - THE MUSEUM’S 57TH SEASON -- Come and see the museum’s vintage soda fountain & ice cream parlor where the soda jerk will be making authentic ice cream treats for your family. Enjoy the experience of this historic environment taking you back to the 1930’s. In addition to the new soda fountain & ice cream parlor, the museum will operate a variety of trains ranging from full size to miniature. The trains travel on three different routes through a beautiful wooded landscape. The museum is also a showcase for a working steam-powered sawmill with a 60 inch blade, La- Porte’s ﬁ rst electric generator, and a blacksmith shop where iron is turned into handcrafted works of art. Come explore the museum’s campus and experience a moment in time when steam-powered amazing machines entertain and enlighten your family. The museum gift shop features toys, books, vid- eos, hats and more for kids of all ages. Food is available for purchase at the museum or visitors may bring a picnic. Hesston Steam Museum is open weekends throughout the summer. For more information visit www.hesston.org or phone 219-778-2783 (weekends). TRAIN FARES are $5 for adults and $3 for kids 12 and under. DIRECTIONS: Take I-94 to exit one, south to County Rd. 1000 North or take the Indiana Toll Road to exit 49, north on Hwy 139 to County Rd. 100 North and follow the signs. There is plenty of free parking. The Hesston Steam Museum is a not-for-proﬁ t organization. All of the fun starts at 11:30 a.m. (Central Time) and continues until 5 p.m., Satur- day through Memorial Day. Visit www.hesston.org for more information. Following are photos from the VIP Preview Party for the new soda fountain and snack bar.

CENTURY 21 Long Beach Realty is THE Long Beach Real Estate Company. We have evolved from the original Long Beach Company. The Long Beach Company originally developed the towns of Long Beach, Michiana Shores, Shoreland Hills and Sheridan Beach as well as Michiana, Michigan. Our staff are all seasoned professionals who are well-trained and familiar with the uniqueness of the beach area. We have resources of the nationwide franchise, CENTURY 21, and the intimacy of a local, family-owned company. The real estate marketing is steadily increasing. Now is a great time for buyers and still a good market for sellers. Interest rates are remaining historically low. Why trust one of the most important purchases of your life to a part-time agent with little experience? Call us for your all your real estate needs.
