Students from St. Mary School recently traveled to Chicago to visit the WGN Television Studios. Students were given a personal tour by early morning news an-chor Lourdes Duarte. The eight students run St. Mary’s School news broadcast, WSMW, on a daily basis. They all have interest in tele-vision broadcasting and were excited about the opportunity to visit WGN.

The students visited the assignment desk, saw news editing in action, visited the control room, and then got to sit in on a live broadcast of the WGN Midday News hosted by Steve Sanders and Dina Bair. Walter Cook said, “Being in the studio and watching a live broadcast was awesome!”

Mea Sanders enjoyed the control room saying, “It was

fascinating to see what hap-pens behind the scenes.”

St. Mary’s daily news program is organized by technology teacher, Heather Clarkson. “We’re blessed to have a teacher like Miss Clarkson who helps our stu-dents produce our TV news program for the entire school to enjoy each morning. The students involved learn a great deal from their experience on

WSMW,” said St. Mary prin-cipal, Tom Ruiz.

In recognition of Motorcycle Safety Aware-ness Month, and the warm-weather motorcycle riding months in general, the AAA Hoosier Motor Club is en-couraging all drivers to work together in order to maximize motorcycle safety.

Sadly, according to the

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 4,500 motorcyclists died and 92,000 were injured in crashes in 2014.

Tips for motorcyclists:Take it from the top.

Helmets are about 37% ef-fective in preventing mo-torcycle deaths and about

67% effective in preventing brain injuries, according to NHTSA. In addition, the NHTSA said 59% of mo-torcyclists killed in 2013 were not wearing helmets in states without universal hel-met laws, compared to 8% in states with universal helmet laws.

Gear up. Don’t stop with the helmet. Wear other pro-tective gear, such as gloves, and motorcycle pants, when you can.

Get visible. Position your-self in the lane where drivers can see you. Keep your lights on, wear bright colors and use reflective tape, even in

daytime.Follow traffic laws. Use

turn signals for every turn or lane change. Combine hand signals and turn signals to make your intentions even more clear. Lane-splitting is illegal in all states except California.

“Motorcyclists don’t

have the physical protec-tions that car drivers have if an accident occurs,” said Greg Seiter, public affairs manager for AAA Hoosier Motor Club. “Drivers can do their part to safely share the road by keeping an eye out for motorcycles, particularly

Motorcycle safety awareness should be top-of-mind for drivers as summer approaches

Mary Ann Augustine re-cently addressed a packed house after receiving the an-nual Florence Nightingale award, presented by the Franciscan St. Anthony Health-Crown Point Per-formance Council of Shared Decision Making, to nurses who exhibit excellence in care through compas-sion, commitment, and ac-countability, and who show outstanding dedication to the mission and values of Franciscan Alliance.

Augustine, of Demotte, an Intensive Care Unit reg-istered nurse, has spent 37 of her 45 years in the profession at Franciscan St. Anthony.

Among the accolades she received from peers, Augustine was called caring and sincere in her words and actions, a great team player

who never complains and takes care of families, as well as patients; and one whose sense of humor “lights up the ICU.”

Augustine said she was stunned and shocked to learn she had received the honor. “It came out of the blue,” she said, adding, “I was chatting one day and a group of nurs-es came over with balloons and flowers and told me I had won the Nightingale. I was clueless; and excited to get it.”

Augustine said she felt her career calling during her latter years in grade school. Asked her philosophy of nursing, Augustine replied, “Nurses have to pray and have faith in God, as well as have a good attitude and do their best daily, in whatever job they do.”

The award is named for legendary nurse Florence Nightingale, who is called the founder of modern nurs-ing.

Bob Dylan released his second album, ‘The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan’, which went on to transform him from a popular local act to a global phenomenon.

His devotion to the music of Woody Guthrie is what brought Dylan to New York City, and his “Song To Woody” was one of only two original numbers on his widely ignored debut album.

The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, on the other hand, included only two non-original numbers, and the speed with which Dylan’s own songs were added to the repertoires of other musicians is what turned him into a household name.

In the summer of 1963, Peter, Paul and Mary turned the opening track (‘Blowin in the Wind’) into an international pop hit. This song gave most fans their first exposure to his songwriting talents, and soon his work had found its way into nearly every genre of popular music via cover versions by artists like Sam Cooke, Johnny Cash, and the Byrds.

But the impact of its’ best-known songs – ‘Blowing in the Wind’, ‘Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right’, and ‘A Hard Rain is Gonna Fall’ – were not nearly as great as the impact of Dylan’s fundamental approach to music. By writing nearly all of his own material, and writing it from a distinctly personal point of view, Dylan created a template that would alter the course of many careers.

in business events from all across the state. BPA is the perfect competitive arena to prepare students for the busi-ness world,” stated Advisor, Mary Bachnak. “Colleges look to see that high school business students actively differentiate themselves by preparing for their futures now, and BPA is the perfect way to accomplish it.”

This year, C.P.H.S. had 40 students compete at the dis-trict competition at Portage High School; 25 of those stu-dents qualified for the state competition, and 23 students

attended. Students who par-ticipated at the state compe-tition were Hannah Carter, Alycia Pappenheim, Alexia Wojciechowski, Lauren Costello, Anthony Kendall, Nick Winter, Haley Grubbs, Amy McNally, Jessica Yukich, Celeste Otano, Griffin Beemsterboer, Matt Frechette, Kyle Venditti, Giulio Bracco, Adam Duda, Nate Hanlon, Luke Billeck, Daniel Guzman, Mike Krapf, Mark Mazure, Garrett Shoemaker, Nick Grothaus, and Blake Macke.

“The opening of Two Bill’s has exceeded all of our expec-tations. Our house is regularly packed with people raving about the drink and food se-lections and the entertainment

which we provide. We look forward to providing the ab-solute best in sports bar and restaurant services to a simply wonderful community of our friends and neighbors.”

between the months of May and September, when more motorcycles are on the road.”

Drivers can check mir-rors and blind spots before entering or leaving lanes of traffic and at intersections; signal before changing lanes or merging with traffic. Even

when signaling, allow enough time to determine the motor-cyclist’s intention before you proceed. And increase fol-lowing distance behind a mo-torcycle, providing enough time to maneuver or stop in an emergency.

Some 120 guests recent-ly attended a third annual St. Monica Home Tea at Franciscan St. Anthony Health-Crown Point’s Marian Education Center. Nearly $10,000 was raised for the mission of the home, which has assisted unwed pregnant teens and their babies for more than 20 years. Each year, the home provides a safe haven, often from abuse and poverty.

Through St. Monica, the young women continue their education, learn life skills and gain the experience they need to create a better life for themselves and their baby.

During the event, Nancy Keough, left, and Kim Larsen, both of Crown Point; participate in a bag raffle, which was one of the fund-raising efforts.

For more information on

the home, which is located on the campus of Franciscan St. Margaret Health-Dyer, call 219-865-2141, ext.

‘Renewing the Region’, an annual exhibit featur-ing art from recycled and repurposed objects, will run through July 14 in the W.F. Wellman Exhibit Hall. Hundreds of artworks will be on display with large keystone pieces by artist and collector Jeff Fink. Fink has been designing metal and steel pieces for nearly his en-tire life and will have dozens of his pieces on display at the Renewing the Region exhibit.

In 2011, the exhibit transitioned to highlight fashionable items made from recycled materials in ‘Trashion’. The exhibit re-turned in 2014 with pieces of art and furniture.

Visitors can expect a di-verse display of art as well as restored, refurbished and renewed pieces. The exhibit will encourage visitors to look at things in a new way while inspiring artistic con-servation.

The Indiana Welcome

Center is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located at 7770 Corinne Drive in Hammond. Beginning May 30, the Indiana Welcome Center will be open until 6 p.m.

The Challenger Learning Center is one of the distin-guished organizations across the United States selected to participate in the sec-ond season of the Air Force Association’s CyberCamp Program this summer.

As an AFA CyberCamp host, the Challenger Learning Center and Purdue Northwest’s Department of Computer Information Technology and Graphics (CITG) will receive software and a hands-on curriculum kit designed to teach students cyber safety, cyber ethics, and critical network security skills and tools. Each AFA CyberCamp will culminate in an exciting team-based com-petition that puts the campers in the role of IT administra-tors tasked with finding and addressing cybersecurity

vulnerabilities in simulated network environments. The local AFA CyberCamp com-petitions will closely mimic AFA’s annual CyberPatriot National Youth Cyber Defense Competition, which will enter its ninth season in October.

CyberCamp, will be held July 18 to July 22 and taught by faculty and staff from both the Challenger Learning Center and PNW’s CITG de-partment.

When asked about the motivation for offering this camp, Rebecca Manis, Director of the Challenger Learning Center said, “We are very proud to bring this exciting and relevant topic to the area through our sum-mer camps. Cyber attacks are a very real threat to all of us, and helping kids not only see

the importance of computer safety and teaching them how to prevent hacking, but expos-ing them to skills that are in high demand, can have a tre-mendous effect on their future and even national security.”

In addition to hosting one of the first AFA CyberCamps for students ages 12 to 15 in Northwest Indiana, the Challenger Learning Center will offer an elementary ver-sion of the camp for students ages 9 to 11. This 2–day camp, to be held July 25 and 26, will mirror some of the activities in the week-long version, but will also include introductory game develop-ment and coding for young students who are just begin-ning their computer skills training.

The CyberPatriot National Youth Cyber Education

Program was created by the Air Force Association in 2009 to attract students to cy-bersecurity and other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disci-plines critical to our nation’s future. In addition to the an-nual National Youth Cyber Defense Competition and the new AFA CyberCamp program, CyberPatriot has launched an Elementary School Cyber Education Initiative designed to intro-duce young students to online safety.

To learn more about CyberPatriot, visit www.usycyberpatriot.org.

To register for either ses-sion of the CyberCamp, hosted by the Challenger Learning Center, visit www.clcnwi.com or call 219-989-3250.

Beginning June 8, a Purdue Master Gardener Program training series will be offered for residents of Lake County and sur-rounding areas. The Purdue Master Gardener Program is a volunteer training pro-gram that provides a learning framework for participants to increase their knowledge on a wide variety of horti-cultural subjects. In turn, participants volunteer, rep-resenting Purdue University. As volunteers, participants grow by sharing knowledge while providing leadership and service in educational gardening activities within their communities.

Training will be held on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Participants will be exposed to a wide range of subjects including soil and plant science, diagnosis of plant problems, pesticide safety, and culture of veg-etable, flower, landscape, and fruit plants. Materials and expenses for the series of classes cost $ 150 per par-ticipant. Financial assistance may be available. This ex-pense fee covers such items as reference notebooks and supplies. These materials all become part of the Master Gardener’s personal collec-tion. There will be a $50 re-fund after 35 volunteer hours

are completed.While the class will be en-

couraged to create new edu-cational outreach programs, there are already plenty of opportunities for which vol-unteers are needed. Some of these projects include the staffing information booths at gardening events, teach-ing public education classes, speaking to local clubs and organizations, and hand-on demonstration gardens.

For an application or questions about the program, contact Nikky Witkowski at 219-755-3240.

Alzheimer’s Association Greater Indiana Chapter is actively recruiting volunteers to be a part of a movement to reclaim the future for mil-lions by participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s. The 2016 Lake County Walk to End Alzheimer’s will be held on Sunday, September 25, at Lake County Fairgounds, and the Michigan City Walk to End Alzheimer’s will be held on Saturday, October 1, at

Washington Park.“Alzheimer’s disease

is the only cause of death among the top 10 in America that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed,” said Development Specialist Katie Slater. “Now is the time for northwest Hoosiers to unite in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease and take action by participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. We need committed leaders to step up to make the 2016 Walk a success.”

Alzheimer’s disease is a growing epidemic and is the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death. As baby boomers age, the number of individu-als living with Alzheimer’s disease will rapidly esca-late. More than 5 million Americans currently live with Alzheimer’s, including 110,000 Hoosiers.

For more information about committee opportuni-ties for either walk, e-mail indianawalk@alz.org or call 800-272-3900.

It’s time to register for the 14th Annual Crown Point Latin Summer, an enrich-ment program about the an-cient Roman world, which will be held July 11 through July 15 at Crown Point High School from 8 a.m. until 11:30 a.m.

Registration applications need to be received online by June 1, 2016.

The program is available to all students who are just completing the fourth, fifth, or sixth grade at elemen-tary schools in the Crown Point Community School Corporation and other area schools. Latin, more than ever before, is a living lan-guage of universal and pe-

rennial relevance that is en-joying a revival in schools across the country. The study of Latin, as well as the study of Classics in general, helps students understand humanity and appreciate the influence that the classical world has had on virtually every aspect of our lives.

Students attending the program will have the op-portunity to learn about Classical mythology, Roman culture and daily life, and Roman history. They will also attend cours-es such as conversational Latin and participate in ar-tistic and group activities. They will learn how to make connections between Latin

and their own language, and how to apply knowledge of the classical world to their own world.

Current Crown Point High School Latin students serve as instructors under the direction of Jeremy Walker and Sara Wietbrock, CPHS Latin teachers.

For more information, contact Walker at the high school at 219-663-4885, ext. 11158 or Wietbrock at 219-663-4885, ext. 11265. Visit this link to register online: http://tinyurl.com/LatinSummer2016. After registering online a signa-ture form will be e-mailed to you to print, sign, and sub-mit with payment.
