Richards “This is a great hobby,” said Theis in his deep radio voice. “By doing this, I’ve been able to learn more about fl owers and wildlife than I ever thought I would.” Still it’s hard work, which is why the 82-year-old Theis looks 20 years younger. The retired Valparaiso postmaster lives a few miles south of the Porter County Expo Center, just off Indiana 49. From the picture window in his fam- ily room, Theis has a clear view of his hives, which during the winter are kept near a small grove of trees at the back of his property. While he’s excited about the new growing season, Theis also is a bit apprehensive. At the end of each season, beekeepers like Theis expect to lose a per- Beekeeper Ken Theis talks about his 35 years of experience with honey bees. (Photo by Rick A.

I’ve come out here in the summer and did this in a T-shirt and shorts and not gotten stung. It’s all in how to approach and handle them.” The key, he said is patience. And that goes for the care and nurturing of his bees as well. On April 5, he received 75 three-pound boxes of bees (there are about 3,000 bees per pound) that he has placed in his hives. As soon as the weather warms up, Theis hauls his hives to area growers, where the bees will do what they were born to do – pollinate plants. One of those growers is County These are some of the 75 hives beekeeper Ken Theis has in storage in Line Orchards between Valparaiso and Westville. the backyard of his Porter County home.

Further, the report states that bees pollinate 15 percent of all crops in the na- tion, representing $3 billion. No specifi c cause for the decline is known, although a combination of fac- tors ranging from loss of habitat to pesticides from pollution to disease were blamed. The last big bee die-off was in 1990, said Hunt, adding, “The die offs are kind of cyclical.” Hunt, CALL TO ACTION an advisor to the Indiana Beekeepers’ Association, doesn’t know if this is part of a cycle or something more serious. Still, he points to the varroa mite as one reason for the decline in Indiana. The mite, about the size of a pinhead, has been responsible for honey bee die offs in Canada and Europe. It origi- nated in Southeast Asia and is described by Hunt as “tick like” for the way it affi xes itself to bees and sucking its hemolymph fl uid, which acts as blood in bees. Varroa mites are carried inside a hive by host bees and once inside, the mites attack bee larvae, FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS either killing them or causing birth abnormalities.

  • The Kellys and the O'kellys by Anthony Trollope
    The Kellys and the O'Kellys by Anthony Trollope The Kellys and the O'Kellys by Anthony Trollope errors. Most notably, much of Trollope's original punctuation is missing. We are in the process of correcting and updating the text. THE KELLYS AND THE O'KELLYS by ANTHONY TROLLOPE I THE TRIAL During the first two months of the year 1844, the greatest possible excitement existed in Dublin respecting the State Trials, in which Mr O'Connell, his son, the Editors of three different repeal newspapers, Tom Steele, the Rev. Mr Tierney a priest who had taken a somewhat prominent part in the Repeal Movement and Mr Ray, the Secretary to the Repeal Association, were indicted for conspiracy. Those who only read of the page 1 / 709 proceedings in papers, which gave them as a mere portion of the news of the day, or learned what was going on in Dublin by chance conversation, can have no idea of the absorbing interest which the whole affair created in Ireland, but more especially in the metropolis. Every one felt strongly, on one side or on the other. Every one had brought the matter home to his own bosom, and looked to the result of the trial with individual interest and suspense. Even at this short interval Irishmen can now see how completely they put judgment aside, and allowed feeling and passion to predominate in the matter. Many of the hottest protestants, of the staunchest foes to O'Connell, now believe that his absolute imprisonment was not to be desired, and that whether he were acquitted or convicted, the Government would have sufficiently shown, by instituting his trial, its determination to put down proceedings of which they did not approve.

  • From the Pastor's Workshop
    The Newsletter of the First Presbyterian Church of Carson City From the Pastor’s Workshop “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” Matthew 24:35 Can you believe the changes that swirl around us? Culturally, socially, politically, and even within the Church things are changing in ways that are stunning. From a biblical perspective it is hard to fathom. How are we to respond as Christians? I think the simple answer is to do what we have always been called to do; listen to God’s word and take our direction from Jesus. He told us times like these would come and in preparing to go to the cross he told us, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” What this means is, all that needs to be redeemed in heaven and earth WILL BE. Our distance from God will be swallowed up by the grace of Jesus Christ. All that has been corrupted in the world will be consumed by God’s renewing will. The promise of “The Upper Story” is that God is doing everything that is needed to bring about his will even as humanity resists and rejects God’s way. The more corrupt and flat WRONG things may seem, the more we know that the ultimate redemption is not going to come because of something WE do, but because of what God does and does THROUGH us. Culture will reject God’s ways. Even places that identify themselves as part of the Church will reject the revealed truth of God’s word, but God will prevail.
