WORDS: DOROTHY JERSE PHOTOS: JOE GARZA

Percy Mossbarger,owner and presi-dent of KirkhamHardwoods


our mill, we producelumber for the fur-niture industry,railroad ties, and4x 6 cants for the

pallet industry, andwe use everything in

the process. Sawdustbecomes fuel and animal bedding, bark isused for hardwood mulch and the outside

slabs are chipped for paper manufacture.The operation begins with buying standing

timber in Indiana and Illinois. Four licensedforesters, generally Purdue University grad-uates, go and buy standing timber fromproperty owners and state forests. Environ-mentally sound harvesting methods areused.

The busiest time for cutting is summerand early fall, Mossbarger said. We have

one company crew and two contract crews.We make 40 percent of our products from

standing timber and 60 percent is pur-chased from the outside. With WestonPaper located here for years, a good logginginfrastructure has been established.

Kirkham Hardwoods, located at 3956 S.State Road 63, employs 10 timber cuttersand 35 mill workers which include sawyers,electricians, mechanics, forklift drivers and

At


lumber graders.Our new mill, completely computer-

ized, was finished in 1992 and runs all year-round, Mossbarger reported. Ourworkforce averages 15 to 20 years with verylittle employee turnover. We have twosemi-trailer trucks, but the majority of ourshipping to seven or eight states is contracthaul. Our location is good being close to I-70 and big cities.

Timber is a crop, he explained. Tokeep it healthy it has to be harvested every 15years to get rid of unhealthy and inferiortrees. Cutting opens up the canopy and lets

the sunlight get to the floor so the seed fromGod and the squirrels can grow. Mother Na-ture does the best replanting of hardwoods,deciduous trees which include oak, yellowpoplar, ash and maple. Urban sprawl is thebiggest claimer of the timber industry--notcutting them down but taking them out ofthe tree base.

Mossbarger, an industrial arts graduateof Western Kentucky University, left teach-ing to work for Kirkham Hardwoods in 1974.The company had been established by his

father-in-law, Robert S. Kirkham, in 1973when he purchased the two-year-old Cen-

tral Indiana Sawmill. Current companymemberships include the Indiana Hard-wood Lumbermens Association, the TerreHaute Chamber of Commerce and the VigoCounty Taxpayers Association.

He is optimistic about the future. Weare well-established with a 30-year cus-tomer base, although I had to cut back em-ployees to a 32-hour week during the 2008recession. This was a time during which 25to 30 percent of sawmills in the nation wentout of business; However, Kirkham Hard-woods will keep going, recessions or not.

This Overhead Door Co. of Terre Haute, Inc.advertisement is almost 50 years old, thedoors and openers have improved, but theproduct is still

and the address is the same.

the genuine,the original!


his business site at 533 N. 15th Street has been inuse since 1901 when T. J. Martin Co. opened aplaning mill at the corner of 15th Street and theVandalia Railroad. By 1926 it was the W. J. GiffelCo. at the same corner, only the railroad becamethe Pennsylvania. Giffel signed a contract withthe Overhead Door Corp. of Hartford City, Indi-

ana, in 1929, and 20 years later the name was changed to the Over-head Door Co. Inc. of Terre Haute.

Operations were taken over by Marvin and Richard Giffel, then

by John Wiggins and DuWayne Ramsey until1996 when James (Jim) Stolt became theowner and president. Now Jim, who is aunion carpenter by trade and a former com-pany manager, and his son Brian, an IndianaState University graduate (Information Sys-tems), own and manage the business. BothStolts, the technicians and installers aremembers of Carpenters Union 133. TheBoard of Directors is a Stolt family affair withJim, Susan, Brian and Leshia as officers.

The Stolts own this Overhead Door fran-chise, one of about 450 in the nation. Jim ex-plained, "We do residential (40%) andcommercial (60%) doors and operators. This includes every size from a golf cart doorto an airplane hangar door; we have a solu-tion for about every opening."

"We have some competition from Indi-anapolis in the commercial line, but ourquality, custom service and installation expe-rience give us little competition from localbig box stores," Brian added. "We are theonly actual door business a customer can

walk into in Vigo County."Sally Julbert, office manager since 1998, credits much of this suc-

cess to good customer service. She commented, "I talk to a lot ofnice people who are happy to talk to a real person."

"We install and service primarily Overhead-branded products,but we also service other makes and models of doors and openers aslong as the parts are available," Jim said.

The commercial line includes section steel, counter doors,rolling steel doors, security grilles and a complete dock door pack-age. Residential upgrades are popular as an investment and to im-

prove security, insulation and convenience."Garage doors are a large part of 'curb appeal,'"

Brian noted. "Our customers can use Door View,which pictures the home with a variety of differentdesigns to help in the selection."

Five service trucks cover five counties in each ofIllinois and Indiana. Emergency service is offered.As Jim said, "When a customer is desperate, we are

there."The technology has changed since Overhead

Door's founder, C. G. Johnson, invented the upward-lifting garage door in 1920 and the electric garagedoor opener in 1926. Since then the doors haven'tchanged except for design and the materials used,but there have been many changes for the openers toimprove safety and convenience. Brian sees morechanges in the future as openers are integrated withhome automation systems and Wi-Fi internet.

The firm is a member of the local Chamber ofCommerce, Home Builders Association, and Associ-ated Building Contractors. It holds an A+ ratingfrom the Better Business Bureau and is accreditedby the International Door Association which setsthe standards for the industry, In addition, Over-head Door won the Women's Choice Award in 2012and 2013 as the most recommended by female cus-tomers.

The Stolts support and are active in Kiwanis andBoy Scout activities. Although Jim is a native ofMinnesota and a former resident of Michigan, he be-lieves the Wabash Valley is the best location for hisfamily and his business. Terre Haute is home.

New Year is full of hopes, goal, and resolutions. This year, considermaking a New Years resolution to become more sustainable andhelp out the environment. You can easily accomplish this with theuse of the ISU Recycling Center.

The Recycling Center first opened its gates in May 1990 in orderto serve the community and the world by aiding in the clean-up ofthe environment. Their mission is to make the Terre Haute commu-nity become a greener and more sustainable place to live. It is avail-able for use by the entire community on and off campus. Althoughthe students and faculty on campus use the recycling center often,the people of the community contribute twice as many recycleditems than does the campus.

Paul Reed is the Director of Custodial and Special Services of theISU Recycling Center. He encourages everyone to recycle to cutdown on greenhouse gases and to save the valuable resources thatwe use every day. According to Paul, aluminum can be recycled overand over again without ever becoming contaminated. Yet, he re-

cently read that about $3 million in aluminum goes to landfills fromIndiana alone.The center accepts the more commonly recycled items such as cans,glass, cardboard, paper, and plastic. There are a few items that theRecycling center cannot accept. They cannot take carbon paper,window glass, motor oil containers, Styrofoam, and Pyrex contain-ers. They also take what the staff calls E-scrap. This consists ofelectronic objects that you may want to recycle, including game sys-tems, VCRs, DVD players, laptop computers, CDs and much more.The Recycling Center began accepting E-scrap in 2007 when a localnonprofit, Trees INC., came up with the idea. The organization did-nt have a place for the members of the community to bring the ob-jects. At first, the ISU Recycling Center hosted two one-day events ayear for people to drop off the items. Eventually, the center accepted daily drop offs of recycled electron-ics. They currently accept most electronics daily. However, theyhave currently stopped taking in televisions. The process of recy-


cling televisions is a complicated one and required the person drop-ping it off to pay a small fee. The staff of Indiana State Universityand the Recycling Center chose to discontinue that service in orderto remain free of money exchanges. They are currently planning aTV Tuesday coming up in January when people may choose to recy-cle their televisions for a small charge. The electronic items that arerecycled are donated to a nonprofit organization in Indianapoliscalled Recycle Force. This organization provides jobs, training, andcounseling to individuals that are being released from the prisonsystem. The ISU Recycling Center is just one of the centers that giveelectronic recyclables to Recycle Force. The computers are brokendown into scrap to ensure that no information is transferred fromone place to another.

Recycling helps to continue the use of natural resources, saysPaul. We want to give people the opportunity to recycle as much aspossible.The ISU Recycling Center does more for the community than sim-

ply recycling. They also give tours togroups and individuals. The tours areavailable from March through Novem-ber. People of any age are invited toparticipate in order to learn moreabout the process of recycling as wellas learning how to prepare your recy-clables for the center. During thetours, the staff is able to teach youngpeople the basics of recycling. Theyare told about different materials thatcan be recycled and how the ISU Recy-cling Center collects and prepares thematerials. The main goal of the staff isto impress upon children the impor-tance of recycling. People who takethe tours are given the opportunity toparticipate in crafts created with therecycled items, such as bookmarksmade of recycled paper. You canschedule a tour for yourself or a groupby calling Neal Wagner at (812)237-8840 or Paul Reed (812)237-8197.Last year, the ISU Recycling Centerwas able to collect 798 tons of materialfor recycling. Help the communityclean up the environment by bringing

your materials from home to the Recycling Center. The center isopen Monday through Friday from 6am to 5pm and Saturday from6am to noon. They are closed Sunday. There is no payment for theuse of the center by the community and no payment by the center topeople who bring the items for recycling. The ISU Recycling Centerprovides a place for people to bring materials instead of throwingthem away.The staff continues to try to look for additional recyclable items andmarkets for each material. Paul has had many requests to accept Sty-rofoam, but he has not found a market accepting it yet. Some of therecycled materials go to paying markets and businesses. Businessesare actually able to take more desirable plastics and turn it into aform of oil. Some of the items are collected by different organiza-tions in the Terre Haute area for crafts and activities. The RecyclingCenter is also available for students and other members of the com-munity that may be moving to collect boxes at no charge.


WORDS: STACEY MUNCIE

BECAUSE TIME IS VALUABLEQUICKERTHAN QUICK

ou ever have one of those weeks where youre running from one thing to the next, withbarely time to breathe, let alone tend to the most basic meal preparation? Me, too. Itstempting to just pick up a pizza, but unless youre made of money, you cant solve all of

lifes dinnertime dilemmas with carry-out.Im sure that many of you are more organized than I am, and if so, you may employ a crockpot.

I do too, but I often find my forgetful self in the situation of having neglected to thaw the roast orchop the veggies in a timely fashion. What then?

Luckily I have a few go-to recipes that are super quick. Not like 30-minute meals. Thats notexactly fast when youre hungry and need to be out the door in half an hour. I mean really, reallyquick. One such recipe is this fast and fabulous tortilla soup.

Recently, I again found myself pressed for time,multitasking between writing assignments andhousework, and needing to hit the road in about anhour. My daughter and her cousin would be comingto our house to work on a school project while I wasgone, and at the rate I was going theyd be staringat the snackless result of my big fat Mom Fail.

I certainly didnt have time to make cookies,with all that mixing and spooning and in-and-out-of-the-ovening. And I didnt need anything toocomplicated, because remember, I was alreadymultitasking as it was. This simple brownie recipewas the solution. One bowl (in my case, the bowlof my KitchenAid mixer), one pan, basic ingredi-ents, done in half an hour.

And they are awesome. I mean, theyre danger-ously delicious.

Now, if you like your brownies cakey, go talk toBetty Crocker. But if you like your brownies moistand dense and over-the-top chocolatey, this recipeis going to be your new favorite.

When gazing to the skies a fewweeks ago to catch a glimpse ofthe International Space Station,owners Pedro & Araceli Pilonireflected on their own specialjourney. What a year it has been,perhaps not quite at warp speed,but in every way satisfying.

This is not a journey withoutmutual commitment. 19 employ-ees contribute to the soul of therestaurant, bursting with pride

and striving to meet customerexpectations. Pilonis is a teameffort from which success andgrowth are its by products.

Ive many years of experiencein the restaurant business, andknow full well I look only as goodas my teams performance. Thereis no second squad. Every playertouches the game ball day-in,day-out, exclaims Pedro.

It was always my dream to

reach to the stars and be proud ofwhat I owned, observes Pedro.Little did he realize his statementssymbolism, as the Space Stationseemingly zipped from one star toanother. Terre Hautes support forthe restaurant energizes thePilonis and their staff. The com-munitys encouragement is notonly reassuring but the most vitalingredient to our success,emphasizes Pedro.

There is nothing easy about therestaurant business. It takes hardwork, discipline and an unflinch-ing desire to excel. Luck has nopermanent booth at Pilonis,rather only gets an occasional

seating. Each day is a new dayand every patron deserves thebest possible product with unfail-ing service. We are not perfect;we make mistakes, but we try toturn a negative into a positive,and use it as an educationalopportunity, says Piloni.

Evening has come to Pilonis.Tables are quickly filling. Araceli isgreeting customers with her gen-uine sense of appreciation, andthat inimitable Piloni smile. Pedrohustles to the kitchen to createanother marvelous dish. Frankiebellows Fly me to the Moon.Show Time! The stars are trulyaligned.

DINNING GUIDE


a financial climate where mostpeople are pinching pennies, itcomes as no surprise that many

engaged couples seek ways to cut costswith regard to their weddings. Some cou-ples are undecided whether certain com-ponents of their wedding are necessary.

The decision to hire a videographer isone such area couples fret over. After all,with a photographer snapping hundredsof pictures, having a video may seem likean unnecessary luxury. However, peopleoften find that having a wedding video tocherish long after the day has passed is well worth theprice.

There are several advantages to hiring a profes-sional videographer to capture the day. A professionallyproduced wedding video is not the same as Uncle Fredcarrying around his archaic camcorder and catching afew embarrassing dance moves during the reception. Aprofessional video will showcase all moments of thewedding from perspectives not easily captured by pho-tography. In addition to showcasing the images of thewedding, the video will also share the sounds and emo-tions of the day. Here are some things to think about.

Choose a videographer who will work in conjunc-tion with the wedding mood and parameters. You proba-bly don't want a videographer who uses bright lights thatcan be distracting. Nor do you want a videographer whopushes the camera in guests' faces for a less-than-can-did interview. Today's professionals are inconspicuousand simply record the events as they unfold.

The videographer often works in tan-dem with the photographer. Some pho-tographers have a videographer on staff.But it is fine to bring in your own if you likethe quality of the photographer's photosbut not the videographer's work.

A videographer will capture thethings you may have missed during thebusy day. He or she can serve as theeyes and ears for the things you're notseeing and hearing.

Although ours is an increasingly digi-tal world where people capture photos

and videos on their smartphones and other devices on aregular basis, a wedding video can serve as a familymemento. What other time, apart from the holidays, doyou have all of your friends and loved ones together inone place?

Sound is a portion of the wedding that photos sim-ply cannot capture. To relive the music and the words ofthe day, a videographer is a necessity. Professionalswho use wireless microphones will produce a video withthe best sound quality.

There are many things that you will not see at thewedding but may have liked to, such as the first gaspsof wonder upon guests walking into the reception room,or the tears on the face of an aunt who was sitting toofar back in the church pews. This is where a weddingvideo can prove invaluable.

Although brides and grooms may be cutting costswith regard to their wedding, they may not want to passon the wedding video.

arethosewhohave

attended a wedding have witnessed some popu-lar traditions take place. The bride wears a veil,a court of wedding attendants accompanies thebride and groom, and birdseed, rice or flowerpetals are tossed. But have you ever wonderedwhy? The wedding customs are ripe with tradi-tion and harken back to days when superstitionand myth often ruled the day.

Throwing rice: Today it has become derigueur to blow bubbles, toss birdseed or releasedoves when the bride and groom leave thehouse of worship newly betrothed. That's be-cause savvy individuals found that raw rice canpose a hazard to birds pecking in the area. How-ever, rice throwing is an old custom that datesback to the Middle Ages, when wheat or rice

where thrown to symbolize fertility for the cou-ple.

Bouquet: Nowadays, the bride carries abeautiful bouquet of flowers. But the purpose ofthe bouquet held different meanings in the past.Saracen brides carried orange blossoms for fer-tility. Others carried a combination of herbs andflowers to ward off evil spirits with their aroma.Bouquets of dill were often carried, again for fer-tility reasons, and after the ceremony, the dillwas eaten to encourage lust.

Bridesmaids: There may be argumentsover dresses and how many bridesmaids tohave in a wedding party now, but in ancienttimes it was "the more the merrier." That's be-cause bridesmaids were another measure tokeep the bride safe against evil spirits. Essen-tially the bridesmaids were decoys for the spirits-- dressing like the bride to confuse the spirits ormaybe help deter them to leave the bride be.

Wedding rings: Wearing of wedding ringsdates back to ancient Egypt. The round shape ofa ring symbolizes eternal love. The ring is wornon the fourth finger of the left hand because it isbelieved this finger has a blood vessel that goesdirectly to the heart.

Wedding cake: The traditional weddingcake evolved from Roman times when the cakewas originally made from wheat. It was brokenover the bride's head to ensure fertility. All of theguests eat a piece for good luck. Single womenused to place a piece of wedding cake undertheir pillows in the hopes of finding their ownhusbands.

Father accompanying the bride: This tradi-tion symbolizes that the bride's father endorsesthe choice in husbands and is presenting hisdaughter as a pure bride to that man.

Kissing the bride: In older times, a kisssymbolized a legal bond. Therefore, the brideand groom kissed to seal the deal on their be-trothal.

There are many traditions surrounding awedding that people simply accept. But under-standing their origins can make the ceremonymore meaningful.

LoveStory

John and Marjorie NewlinCelebrate More Than7 Decades Together

Want to know the secret to findingtrue love?

Just ask John T and MarjorieNewlin the couple has been to-gether more than 70 years.

It wasnt a blind date, a moonlitwalk on the beach or even a dozenroses that got John and Marjorie to-gether it was the alphabet.

WORDS: KATIE SHANE PHOTO: JOE GARZA

terrehauteliving.com

There is no se-cret, it doesnttake any specialskill, just pa-tience, Johnsays. We arelucky, I guess.

Marjorie inter-jects, It takesmore than luck.

I guess itdoes, Johnagrees pattinghis wifes hand.

ON WHAT ITTAKES TOMAKE IT FOR7 DECADES:

We sat alphabetical in school, John ex-plains. So that was the reason, I sat behindher.

Yep, agrees Marjorie laughing. He satbehind me; my (maiden) name was McCan-dless.

It may have been the letters M and N thatinitially introduced the couple, but Johnsays even without the help of the alphabetthe two would have gotten together one wayor another.

We lived within two blocks of one an-other, I think it would have worked out thisway, he explains. I remember we bothwent to dancing school and I could havedanced with other people if I wanted to, butwe danced together.

The two became a pair during highschool and dated throughout college; Mar-jorie at Indiana State University and John atRose-Hulman.

I was going into the Army as soon as Igraduated, during World War II the classeswere accelerated, John explains. I was tograduate in February and go straight intothe Army, so we were married duringChristmas vacation.

That was December 1942.If you are going to have one girl your

whole life, there was no use in waiting until Iwas older, John says.

The couple was married in a small cere-mony, We married in the priests office,and it was very simple. It wasnt a big thing,he says of the wedding.

Its different than they are now, Mar-jorie adds.

The newlyweds honeymoon period wasshort, John left to serve as a 2nd Lieutenantin the Army Corps of Engineers in February1943.

He served for two years in New Guineaand the Philippines.

The couple says looking back, the twoyears apart was one of the hardest times oftheir marriage.

Now the men can get on the computerand see their wives and children, John saysof technology. Not to say that what they gothrough is easy, but its different. I wouldwrite a letter and she would get it two weekslater. I would write a letter every day and Iwould communicate by mail. The idea ofgetting on the phone or computer; its sodifferent now.

Once back on American soil John ac-cepted a position teaching civil engineeringat his Alma-mater, Rose-Hulman.

Marjorie put her degree in Home Eco-nomics from Indiana State to good use;working as a stay-at-home mother to thecouple's three children; John S., Tom andSally.

We had two boys and we wanted a girl,so that made three, Marjorie said with alaugh as she talks about her children.

After a stint teaching at Rose-Hulman,John joined the family business in 1952 as areal estate agent with Newlin-Johnson Real-tors.

I thought I would check out real estate,so I went to my father and told him I mightwant to try working there. He was pleased,John says of his father, Charles C. Newlin.

John was successful in real estate, be-coming President of the company in 1965and Chairman of the Board of Directors in1999.

Now in his 90s John isn't slowing downor retiring, he still works for the companyand performs home appraisals.

While professionally John has built astrong business he says his greatest accom-plishment is the family he built with Mar-jorie.

Its easy to take pride, John says. I


think I was most proud when John gradu-ated from Rose (Hulman) and Tom has al-ways been a successful person... When Sallygraduated from nursing school at IndianaState, that was a pleasure.

All of John and Marjories children andgrandchildren have earned college degrees,an accomplishment they too achieved in the1940s.

They have set the bar and the standardto how you live your life; you work hard, tellthe truth, that is the story of their lives. Theharder you work the better person you are,we have all seen that, says middle son Tom.

Tom explains its not just with college de-grees or professional accolades that havebeen motivating to the family. The true in-spiration comes from their astonishing 71year marriage.

I think they are inseparable, Tom sayswith a laugh. They have been together sincethey were 15 years old that is amazing three quarters of a century They grew up ablock from each other and I have reason tobelieve they never had a date with anyoneexcept each other. They started dating inhigh school, that is amazing if you thinkabout it.

When asked about the seven decadesJohn shrugs.

In the beginning we were compatible,always have been. I dont know if I adaptedto her or if she adapted to me or if we were

just adaptable, he says beginning to laugh.It was a nice walk from her house to myhouse, so it was convenient and her mothermade good Sunday dinnerInterrupts Marjorie, So that helped!

But convenience and a nice Sunday mealcant be the key to a long marriage, can it?

The two pause and then look at eachother.

They ponder the question for a few mo-ments before answering.

Well, no, John says with a smile. Allyou have to do is be patient. Enjoy your lifetogether, expect there will be problems,what the heck, problems are opportunities.Plus, we are fortunate that we are both still

alive.And in good health, adds Marjorie.There is no secret, it doesnt take any

special skill, just patience, John says. Weare lucky, I guess.

Marjorie interjects, It takes more thanluck.

I guess it does, John agrees patting hiswifes hand.

The couple says they do feel lucky whenthey get to visit with their ever growing fam-ily.

The Newlins have five grandchildren; TC,Christopher, Brian and John K Newlin andKatie (Newlin) Smith.

Those grandchildren have their own chil-dren, making John and Marjorie greatgrandparents to Ella and Stewart Smith,Veronica Newlin and Thomas (Tre) Newlin.

It's a joy, John says of his grandchildrenand great grandchildren. Of course they arejust as cute as can be.

With an expanding family John says life'sups and downs are put into perspective.And a little humor helps too.

We are fortunate, we don't have toworry if we will have something to eat or ifthe furnace breaks we can hire someone tofix it, he says.

And I don't have to worry about her run-ning around anymore, John says motioningto Marjorie's walker. It's just part of life!And it's been a great one.

All you have to dois be patient. Enjoyyour life together,expect there will beproblems, what theheck, problems areopportunities. - John Newlin

NOTHING

ABOUT ITsimpleJeanette Winchesterhas created a successfulbusiness from scratch

WORDS: KATIE SHANE PHOTOS: JOE GARZA


In 2013 Winchester and her staff of threefull time employees executed more than 350events, an impressive number until Win-chester estimates she has done an astound-ing 4,000 events since 1999.

I just turned 60 years old and I havenever worked this hard in my life, she sayssmiling.

That statement is hard to believe whenWinchester talks about her pre event plan-ning career.

Some people may be surprised to knowbefore opening her own business Winches-ter worked in corporate America for Avco

Corporation, a subsidiary of Textron. I started as a cashier back in 1971 when I

got out of high school, Winchester says ofher beginnings. I ended up moving throughthe ranks, that was when it wasnt popularfor woman to do that. They actually wouldhave women sign a form to say that theywerent interested in going into manage-ment.

Winchester didnt conform and didntsign that paper.

They didnt know what to do with me,she says smiling. I ended up as a managerand went on to be the only woman corporate

officer for the company.That position took her all over the world;

sometimes weeks away from her husbandGreg and children Jeff and Jenny.

My dad raised us for a lot of our child-hood, Jeff says. The reason I am sayingthis is because she worked her butt of; it wasbecause of her hard work, goals and the sup-port we had from my dad that she was sosuccessful.

As she moved up in the company the fam-ily was transferred to Terre Haute in 1989.The Wabash Valley was the perfect locationto manage offices in Indiana and Illinoiswhile still traveling to places like Californiaand Dallas.

Not long after relocating, the companyapproached Winchester to again move, thistime to Dallas.

With her children settled into life andschool in Terre Haute and husband Gregworking in his own career the thought ofmoving again did not interest the family.At the time Winchester was helping plandaughter Jennys wedding.

She saw a void in the event planning in-dustry in Terre Haute, leading her to enter-tain the idea of a totally new career path inevent planning.

I needed someone to do the work forme, Winchester says of a wedding planner.

If youve ever been to a wedding or event in TerreHaute chances are youve seen Jeanette Winchesterswork.

The owner and mastermind behind Terre HautesSimple to Elegant wedding, event and party planningbusiness, Winchester has her hand in just about everyevent in town.

We do it all, Winchester says while sitting in her of-fice and showroom. We do everything from one singletable cloth for a familys Thanksgiving meal to hugecorporate events.

Chamber ofCommercePresident KenBrengle says itsWinchestersbusiness savvythat got her tothe top.

There were companies in town, but no one that did it all. I knewif I needed it there were other people out there that must need thesame thing.

Winchester decided to retire from the corporate world. Shequalified for the companys retirement plan and worked out a sweetdeal at the end of her final project that included seed money for hernew career dream.

I never really had to negotiate because I did a good job and thecompany took care of me I used (salary money from Avco) to buythe first inventory (for the new business). I didnt have to go intodebt in those first years.

Starting her own business had always been in the back of Win-chesters mind, but making it a reality was a leap of faith.

I was always intrigued by the word entrepreneur One thingabout my corporate days I had the experience in event planning,marketing, human resources, budgeting and all I had to do was usewhat I learned from the corporate level and condense it for my ownbusiness.

Winchester started Simple to Elegant in late 1998 and revved upbusiness in early 1999.

The beginning was bumpy literally.We had this LeBaron convertible, I think it was a 92 or some-

thing. We used it to transport an archway for a wedding, Winches-ter says laughing. So Greg is driving and I am in the back seatholding it thinking, we need a truck or something.

She eventually got a van, plus six warehouses to hold the hun-dreds of wedding and event items shes collected over the years; in-cluding 62 styles of centerpieces and countless sets of china. My husband says I never tell people no, she says. That is why wehave stacks and stacks of stuff.

In addition to buying supplies, one of Winchesters first orders ofbusiness was to join the Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce.

She started as a Chamber Ambassador, a group of business pro-fessionals who serve as a link between the Chamber and business

community.Staying true to her personality Winchester couldnt do anything

on a small scale and soon moved up the ranks at The Chamber serv-ing as Vice Chair of Strategic Planning and overseeing the Ambassa-dor program.

In 2014 Winchester will make history, becoming the first womanTerre Haute Chamber of Commerce Chair of the Board.

Winchester is humble when talking about the honor.There are a lot of business women in the community that could

have the position, she says. I was just the person in the spot at thetime. Im not being humble; its just the way it is.

But Chamber of Commerce President Ken Brengle says its Win-chesters business savvy that got her to the top.

She brings both perspectives corporate and small business -and you want a mix of entrepreneur and corporate, says ChamberPresident Ken Brengle. She understand what the membershipfaces and that's an important aspect that she brings to the board andto the leadership role. I have tremendous respect for Jeanette as acolleague and as a friend. I have to say with Jeanette, there wont beany dull moments!

United Way of the Wabash Valley Executive Director Troy Fearscan second that sentiment.

Jeanette serves on the United Way Campaign Cabinet and lends ahand to the numerous United Way events throughout the year.

Its fun to work with her because she gets so excited, Fears says.Jeanette is detail oriented, she wants things to be perfect she is

a perfectionist and it shows. We cant do it without her.Involved in everything from the United Way to the Terre Haute

Childrens Museum to the March of Dimes, Winchester says beingso heavily involved in the community is her way of making up forlost time. When working in her corporate job Winchester didnthave the ability to truly get involved in the community.

Im involved so much because I want to make up for the time Ididnt do anything, she says. One of the reasons I wanted to startmy own business was to be able to give back to the community be-


Jeanettes son Jeffis the manager forSimple to Elegant

cause I have been blessed.Winchester says one of those blessings is being able to work with

her family.Jeanettes son Jeff is the manager for Simple to Elegant and his

wife Dana is an event planner for the company.While working alongside family isnt always ideal, the mother-

son duo thinks of themselves more as business partners than a bossand employee.

Jeff plans to take over the family business in the future.Its the hardest job you will ever have, working with your family

especially your mom, Jeff says. But its business, its nothing per-sonal.

Interjects Winchester, I dont want to hurt his feelings, hes mylittle boy!

Regardless if they are disagreeing on a topic, they both can agreethat the customer is always right.

Winchester says some of her proudest moments are when shenails a brides vision for her special day.

When we know that we have captured someones dream - itsnot our dream its their dream - when we step back and know this isgoing to be their most perfect day, its wonderful.

In 2013 and 2014 Simple to Elegant was voted Best of the Bestby The Knot Weddings.

The prestigious award is given to only the top one percent ofbusinesses worldwide in the wedding industry.

When asked if shes proud of what shes accomplished in bothcareers Winchester is uncharacteristically silent.

With tears in her eyes she responds, I am at peace with myself.When I was younger I was proud of myself, it makes me cry. I am atpeace with my family, my career, I am able to give back. I know thatwhen I chose to not be Simple to Elegant anymore its still going tobe Simple to Elegant and that is so important to me. That makesme cry.

Lori Mitchells dreams couldhave taken her anywhere. ButHome is where her business is.WORDS: STACEY MUNCIEPHOTOS: CHLOE JENNINGS


ori Mitchell straightens some items and de-bates whether or not to give the floor asweeping before her photo shoot. Its chillyoutside, but Mitchells boutique, Millie &Maude, is toasty. The ornate, vintage tinceiling provides a dramatic sky above the

racks of soft, colorful textiles and displays of glittering costume jew-elry.

I knew in high school that I wanted to go into something in fash-ion, Mitchell recalls. In her teenage years, she fed this desire withjobs at mall clothing stores. At ISU, she further pursued her passionwith a degree in Textiles, Apparel and Merchandising.

But her roots in the area are as strong as her passion for fashion.The call of famous design houses and big city boutiques couldntcompete with the desire to be near home. So for several years,Mitchell put her talent to use locally, managing retail apparel chains.

I managed Davids Bridal for seven years. Prior to that I man-aged Victorias Secret for six years, she relates.

All the while, Mitchell dreamed of owning her own boutique. Shecraved a place where she had the freedom to express her creativity,employ her eye for fashion and parlay her retail management savvy

into a unique shopping experience.Enter Shelley Klingerman, the owner of Cocoa, a womens cloth-

ing boutique. Klingerman had started the shop as a side businesswhile working at Sony, with the goal of providing a trendy storewhere customers could find unique clothing not offered in the area.

Ive known Shelley for a long time and she knew that Ive alwayswanted to own my own boutique. She offered for me to come hereand manage, Mitchell explains. The plan was that in a year or two,when Mitchell was ready, she would buy the business. I was happyto be working with her because she always has great ideas.

As it turns out, Mitchell was ready to take the jump much sooner. Girls Night Out last year [November 2012] was my very first

day with Cocoa, she says. By February 2013, she knew she was readyto take the plunge. By June, Cocoa had been reborn as Millie &Maude.

For those who may be wondering just who Millie and Maude are,Mitchell explains, I originally thought I was gonna do Maude, be-cause I thought it was a fun play on the word, but I wanted to incor-porate my grandma, so Millie is my grandmas name.

But the renaming wouldnt be the only change Mitchell wouldmake as the boutiques new owner.

Shelley opened Cocoa to provide trendy clothing and acces-sories that you couldnt find anywhere else. Ive kind of tried tokeep that motto.

And once its gone, its gone, she adds, which means that cus-tomers are unlikely to show up at an event wearing the exact same

L

outfit as someone else. I kept several of the brands that she car-

ried, but eliminated some. Just in generalIm a little more casual a person. Ivebrought a couple more casual lines in.

During her stint as Cocoas manager,Mitchell has also recognized another need.

I had customers come in and I saw theneed for an expanded size range, she says.I lost 40 pounds before I got pregnant withmy daughter, and I was still a size 12. I wasselling things that I couldnt even wear.Theres definitely a need not just for plussizes, but for average size women, too.

Mitchell has been working to bring in awider range of sizes, but she admits than itsnot as easy as it sounds. There are a coupleof brands that I offer that only carry up tosize 10 or so. Im still on the search for agood plus size womens line.

Shes also tried to appeal to a broaderrange of ages. Ive lowered the price onabout 70% of the items and brought in somestuff to appeal to the college students, too.



Terre HauteSullivanLinton

A couple of my best customers are prob-ably in their 60s, she adds.

One item that has been particularly pop-ular is a simple t-shirt emblazoned with thestate of Indiana and the word home.

I just happened to see the Home T onPinterest, Mitchell says. I thought, Ivegotta carry that. Once I got the Indianaones, I got requests for Illinois. I cant keepthem in stock!

Mitchell also carries a US Home T. All ofthe Home T shirts are made in the USA, andthe producers of these shirts donate a por-tion of the proceeds toward Multiple Sclero-sis research.

Other brands at Millie & Maude includeAlternate Apparel, B.B. Dakota and Henry &Belle Jeans.

The boutique also offers a variety oftrendy jewelry and accessories, from the art-fully painted Gleeful Peacock line out ofTulsa, Oklahoma, to the subtle Dogearedjewelry collection from Southern Califor-nia.

For Mitchell, Millie & Maude is the bestof all worlds. Its given her the ability to dowhat she loves, on her own terms, on herhometown.

Smiling, she says, After managing retailfor so long, this opportunity came at theperfect time because it allows me to behome with my family, rather than workinglong, regular retail hours.

Im glad to live here in my hometownand to be promoting our downtown busi-nesses.

What wouldwe have donewithout ourFriends forthe past 30years?

Friends of the VCPL help tomake services and programsavailable at the libraryWORDS: DOROTHY JERSEPHOTOS: NATHAN MONTGOMERY

igo CountyPublic Librarypatrons andstaff membersagree, "Wewould havemissed somany pro-grams andservices with-out the sup-port of our

Friends, and we still need their help."The organizational meeting for the

Friends of the VCPL was held April 29, 1984,on the fifth anniversary of the opening ofthe new main building. Eva Hopp, chair ofthe Friends Steering Committee, remem-

bers, "The Long Range Planning Committeemet a lot and put the ideas together. Thefact that Lake County already had a verylarge Friends group stimulated us to thinkabout organizing one in Vigo County."

Betty Martin, VCPL director at the time,listed these reasons: "(1) The new librarybuilding provided the space where a Friendsgroup could work, grow and flourish. (2) Asthe new Director, I felt I needed all the com-munity support I could get to continuemoving the the VCPL ahead. (3) Public li-braries were giving much more attention todeveloping programming for adults. (4) Na-tionally, and particularly in Indiana, atti-tudes were changing about the role ofFriends groups."

The first officers and directors electedwere James R.Brown, MarjorieDavis, Nina Babcock,Jean Hollar, JerriRedman, JoyceKeenan and EvaHopp. The Certifi-cate of Incorpora-tion, issued July 28,1992, made theFriends a 501(c)(3)organization withthe stated purpose topromote the VCPL asan educational, cul-tural and recre-ational asset to VigoCounty. A board of15 members, headedby Susan Hoffman,meet each month tocarry out these re-sponsibilities.

Hoffman, a char-ter member, an avidreader, and a litera-ture instructor with astrong belief inbooks, said, "Thirtyyears have gone byand our membershipdues have remainedthe same -- $5 indi-vidual, $10 family,and up. These duesand used book salesare the sources of thefunds we raise tosupport VCPL pro-grams and services. Our members workvery hard to set upthe main sale in May,the Holiday Sale inDecember, and theweekend sales eachmonth. We sell do-nations of books (fic-tion andnon-fiction), newer

magazines, CDs, DVDs, audio books and LPrecords in very large quantities and at verylow prices. The quantity of reading materi-als stored in our renovated Friends' work-room is overwhelming."

Hank Metzger, president of the VCPLBoard of Trustees, said, "Many times myson, Luke, and I have helped set up theFriends' book sales. I always am amazed atthe amount of hours volunteers put in tomake them happen. They do an immeasura-ble job raising funds for the 'extra' thingslike programming. Their help became evenmore important after the property tax capwas adopted by the State Legislature in2008. That first year the VCPL experienceda funding cut in excess of $337,000."

The three well-used, beautiful branches,East-North-South, had to be closed. NancyDowell, the library director in 2009, wasquoted in the West Vigo Times, saying,"These were not one-time cuts, but perma-nent ones."

Current library director Kristi Howestated, "The financial support of the Friendscontinues to be extremely valuable as wemake adjustments and tighten budgets tomeet the fiscal restrictions demanded bythese property tax caps. The 2013 shortfallwas $837,000.

"Beyond the fund-raising , though, theFriends are a group of volunteers who givegenerously to support an institution theybelieve in. The way they volunteer their


V


time and advocate for libraries is every bit as noteworthy as the moniesthey give."

Linda Hardin, administrative assistant and liaison to the Friendsuntil she retired last year, noted, "I am proud of the Friends' accom-plishments and my part working with them. Their sponsorships are toomany to list, but to name a few: annual visits of second graders from allVigo County public and parochial schools for eight years at a total costof $31,905, the support of the popular Big Read project, the summerreading program, book giveaways. and English as a Second Language ac-tivities as well as supplying funds for equipment."

Dennis Shepard, Linda's successor, commented, "I'm really excitedto be a part of this group which raises funds for the library which mywife, Paula, and our four children use. The Friends are here many hoursand do so much good work."

Active in the community, the Friends partner with United Way, VigoCounty School Corp., West Vigo Community Center, Terre Haute Chil-dren's Museum, Altrusa International, Wabash Valley Literacy Coali-tion, Swope Art Museum, and local college and universities. Oneparticularly interesting community partnership is with Habitat for Hu-manity. The Friends provide a shelf and basic books to each new Habi-tat home completed.

Terre Hautesnewest nonprofitis filling a void inbreast cancer aid

PINKWORDS: KATIE SHANE PHOTOS: JOE GARZA


GIVING BACK

Funds raised through PINK provide sup-port to women and men going throughbreast cancer treatment.

While traditional breast cancer nonprof-its focus on fundraising for medical ex-penses and research, PINK isunconventional. Money goes towardsother expenses patients have while goingthrough treatment.

We cant pay for peoples total care butwe can help, Amy says of PINK. If theyneed help with a prescription or gas for thecar to get to a doctors appointment or radi-ation, the bills dont stop. So we cant pay forthe whole medical process, but to know peo-ple are here to help, to listen, thats a lot.

Amy should know, she was diagnosedwith breast cancer in 2010.

I was diagnosed at age 44, she explains.It was time for my annual mammogramand right before that I found a lump, sodidnt skip it because I knew something waswrong.

While she knew deep down thingswerent right, Amy didnt fully grasp whatwas happening when she consulted a doctor.

I just knew to get a mammogram, butthen I left to see a customer (for work). I

Spread out in front of her, in between plates of fruitand eggs, are stacks of paperwork, a laptop computerand a cell phone with a pink cover.

I have a lot going on, the wife and mother of twosays laughing.

That is an understatement.On a daily basis Amy juggles family life, a fulltime

job and her family-run custom printing business,Bagnoche Sports.

Adding to her already full load, Amy and Dr. DarrenBrucken manage the nonprofit organization, PINKof Terre Haute, which they founded in 2012.


said (to the doctors),I cant come back be-cause I have a lunch meeting It was justnot clicking that something was wrong be-cause everyone was in denial.

Even after being told breast cancer was astrong possibility by her doctors, Amy andher husband Rick lived an entire weekendavoiding the truth.

Rick said, Maybe if you rest it will bebetter on Monday, what were we thinking?she says throwing her arms up at thethought.

Doctors called that Monday and askedfor Amy and Rick to come to the office.

I asked, Why does he need to come?Nothing was clicking, she explains.

Once given her diagnosis the truth wasstill too much to wrap their minds around.

Rick was like, Does she have cancer?And they said Yes, Amy explains. Hestarted to cry. I didnt cry at all. I have onlyseen him cry once, at his moms funeral.Shock, I was in shock.

Amy held it together until she had to saythe words breast cancer to her teenagedaughter Dominique.

When I saw my daughter I fell on theconcrete crying, Amy says. I think you arein denial until you have to say it. I had to tellmy daughter and it was the worst moment.

Once the initial shock subsided Amy gotserious about beating breast cancer and en-tering recovery. She says what got herthrough the chemotherapy and tough timeswere her family and friends. The loyalty ofthose closest to her during that dark timewas overwhelming.

I had amazing support, I feel guilty be-cause I had so much support, she says. Ihad so much support that sometimes therewere fights about who would take me tochemo, who brought me lunch, who wasgoing to sit with me. There were so manypeople that the nurses had to tell people toleave.


While support for Amy was overflowing,she noticed others going through the sametreatments had very little support. That waswhen the idea for PINK of Terre Haute wasborn.

Ladies dont have someone to sit withthem during chemo or a mom had to bringin her two year old because she doesnt havea babysitter story after story and I wouldjust sit there and I would think I had such agood cancer because it was Stage 2 andeverything was going well for me; I hadrides, family, support.

Amy decided she had to take action andwriting a check wasnt going to do.

I felt like I was the person that said,Here is your check and I dont have to doanything. I am happy to write a check andthats all I have to do. I didnt volunteer foranything. I was always the check writer andthen I realized that people need more.

In 2012 Amy started organizing a golftournament at Hulman Links.

She enlisted the help of Brucken; a friendand her family doctor.

Amy asked if I would help with the golftournament, Brucken says. I handled themedical side of things, we put resources to-gether and worked to get this off theground.

Even though Amy says she and Bruckendidnt know what we were doing the eventraised $16,000.

After that success, leaders at KomenWabash Valley suggested Amy start her ownnonprofit to fill the void in service thatmany other breast cancer organizationscant fulfill.

Even though he works with patients,some that may have breast cancer, Bruckensays it wasnt until he began working withPINK that he realized the amount of need inthe community.

I was under the impression that thereare plenty of resources out there; pick up the

phone and call someone, but thats not thecase, Brucken says.

Not only does Darren see the effects ofcancer through his job, but his own familywas touched by breast cancer, giving him amore personal reason to get involved.

His mother-in-law died of breast cancer.We lost Holly's mom to breast cancer,

he explains. That is of course a traumaticintroduction to the disease. To spend thetime with her mom trying to cope that wasa motivating force for me.

Now expanding PINKs scope to morethan just a golf tournament, Amy and Dar-ren say they inspired when they hear howtheir efforts help breast cancer patients ofthe Wabash Valley.

PINK reached out to help one patientnamed Michelle.

Michelle was diagnosed with Stage 2breast cancer in December of 2009 and un-derwent a radical mastectomy. In February2010 she was told the cancer had spread andher vertebrae was fractured by a tumor. Thischanged the diagnosis to Stage 4.

On June 26, 2013 Michelles apartmentflooded, destroying many of her belongings,including furniture.

PINK stepped in to help. My daughters bed was one of the things

we lost, Michelle explains. PINK pur-chased a full size mattress set and bed framefor her. They also gave her a gift card toKohls so she could pick out bedding that sheliked.

Michelle says the generosity was a bless-ing.

Having an organization like PINK letsyou know that you're not alone. It's greatthat they are able to help people financiallybut just having someone to talk to that un-derstands is just as important.

Amy and Darren have recruited numer-ous volunteers to help with PINK, somebreast cancer survivors themselves. Many

are available to listen when a patient needsto talk, other volunteers work in fundrais-ing. Since the very beginning the group hasbeen busy, thanks in part to the Wabash Val-ley community.

The community support is unbeliev-able, Amy says. All these people want togive us money. We want to help patients andthey give us more than I can even dream of.There is so much I need to do and want to doand this is a huge help to the cause.

Its apparent Amy is passionate aboutPINK, just ask Darren.

Her husband calls me her other hus-band, Darren says laughing. I call her crazywhen she calls I ask her not to text meagain at 2am with ideas, but thats who sheis; she is a driven woman I applaud her.

For Amy the drive and passion is per-sonal.

Maybe I got this to open my eyes, shesays of the diagnosis. This is what I am sup-posed to be doing.

And she encourages others to make itpersonal too.

If you have a mom, mother in law,daughter, sister, friend that is a woman;think of the first eight women in your life,there is a chance one will get breast cancerand it sucks, but to know someone is thereto help, it makes it just a little bit better.

The plight the dispossessed Embera Indigenous people, one ofthe South American Indian groups driven from their ancestralhomelands in Colombia's jungles during the past decade wastaken to heart by students at Sugar Grove Elementary, WoodrowWilson Middle School, and Sullivan High School. During Octoberuntil November 14 the students and their families purchased and insome case made 250 fleece blankets in order to help the Embera.Corporations have been taking over their lands to exploit them fornatural resources, as well as by armed conflicts between rival fac-tions of paramilitary groups and drug cartels seeking to use the landfor their own purposessometimes in collaboration with theColombian army.

"Teaching children to have a 'service' heart is a valuable part oftheir learning experience," said Sugar Grove principal Gail Artis."Some of our children receiving assistance themselves have beenmade to feel good by having the satisfaction of giving back to othersless fortunate. The experience of helping collect blankets for theEmbera has broadened the children's perspective about the worldthey live in."

The blanket project was initiated by Terre Haute resident andphotographer Alexandra McNichols-Torroledo, a native of Colom-bia. During the past two and a half years while visiting her family inBogota, McNichols-Torroledo became increasingly aware thatmembers of the Embera group were wandering and living on citystreets, in tents in refuge centers, and in an extreme case living in alandfill.

Since then, McNichols-Torroledo has been documenting the Em-bera's situation and helping themaccording to the United Na-tions, Colombia has possibly five million displaced people, thesecond most of any country in the world; among this group are Em-bera people, who have an overall population of about 71,000.

McNichols-Torroledo's first pictorial chronicle of the plight of theEmbera was displayed in part by Arts Illiana at the Terre Haute Sav-ings Bank and reported on in the September/October 2012 issue ofTerre Haute Living.

During a subsequent September 2013 trip McNichols-Torroledotook to Colombia, she met with an Embera leader in Bogota. Soonafter returning to Terre Haute, she received an E-mail from the man.

He told her the Colombian government had agreed to bus 350 Em-bera back to their homes. But a bus ride home in Colombia is not thesame as a bus ride home in the U.S.A. The Embera live in the rain-forest in villages two days to a week's walk from where the buseswould drop them off.

"The leader told me his people could get cold and sick on long jour-neys like the ones they would have to take, especially at night be-cause they must travel up and down across the mountains,"McNichols-Torroledo said. "It is never cold, but it can get cool eventhough it is in the jungle. The Embera have nothing but the clotheson their back and are too poor to buy jackets. I was asked to help getblankets for the people to put over their shoulders like a shawl andto use as bedding. The blankets were not to be too heavy for the gen-erally warm climate."

McNichols-Torroledo realized that the best covering for blanketsthe Embera needed was two thicknesses of fleece, a very lightweightfabric sewn together into a blanket not too heavy for the generallywarm Colombian jungle climate and easy to make into no-sew blan-kets. But how to procure so much fleece for blankets? The studentsand teachers at Sugar Grove, Woodrow Wilson, and Sullivan Highhelped McNichols-Torroledo resolve the dilemma.

Her daughter, Maya, attends Sugar Grove, so she thought thisschool would be a good place to start a blanket drive. Debbie Hill,the secretary of Sugar Grove's parent-teacher organization, had pre-viously seen the Terre Haute Living article about McNichols-Tor-roledo's photography of the Embera and had offered to help them ifan opportunity became available. Hill put her in contact with SugarGrove's Mrs. Artis, whose daughter was born in Guatemala as aMayan Indigenous. Artis invited McNichols-Torroledo to give apresentation at Sugar Grove about the Embera's problems.

After hearing about the Embera, Sugar Grove's student councilbecame involved in the project. Daily progress reports were an-nounced over the school's intercom system. Popcorn incentiveswere offered to classrooms collecting five or more blankets.

"It was wonderful the way the kids came together," said fifth gradeteacher, Amy Bunch."We collected 125 blankets."

and studies seventh grade science with Melissa Jordan, whois interested in South America and this past summer visitedIquitos, Peru, on a service mission. Jordan got permissionfrom her principal, Susan Mardis, to conduct a class projectwith the blankets.

Mardis then invited McNichols-Torroledo to talk aboutColombia and its Embera population to the Woodrow Wil-son students during the school's lunch hours. Soon Wilsonkids were gathering and making fleece blankets.

"It's good for children to learn compassion and to see thedifference between life here and elsewhere," said Mardis.

Jordan bought several sections of fleece for her sciencestudents and invited them to help make blankets in theirfree time. Fifteen kids began coming to school at 7:15 tobind together two sections of fleece into one usable blanket.Eventually, Wilson students collected 75 blankets for theEmbera.

Sullivan High School teacher Rachel Wheeler had for-merly been a classmate of McNichols-Torroledo when theywere students at Indiana State. When McNichols-Tor-roledo presented at ISU her photographic display of the Em-bera for her MFA in Photography exhibition in April '13,Wheeler happened to see it, and as a consequence invitedher former classmate to give lectures on the Embera andColombia to Spanish classes she taught at Sullivan High.

After receiving the help request from the leader of the Em-bera, McNichols-Torroledo contacted Wheeler for help making theblankets. Wheeler received permission from Principal DavidSpringer for Sullivan's Spanish Club to take on the project. Theschool teaches 11 section of Spanish, and its Spanish Club has 100members. The club purchased fleece and during a two-hour after-school session club members managed to make 45 blankets.

McNichols-Torroledo's received financial assistance from

Baesler's, DeBaun Funeral Homes, Terre Haute South's Rotary Club,and some individuals to transport the blankets to Colombia. Herformer neighbors Greg and Georgia Gorski spent several days help-ing her pack the blankets into five vacuum bags.

In late November, she had the opportunity to deliver the blanketsto Colombia to help the Embera with the challenge of their longwalks home.

treasure. Perhaps there are treasures ofgold rings, diamonds, and other jewels in your lockbox or hiddenaway at home to be worn on special occasions. Or have you everwondered what might happen to your future if you found a vaultfilled with bars of gold or won the lottery? Or is your most cherishedtreasure in a scrapbook with the pictures of loved ones or photo-graphic images of special occasions? Perhaps you might be hopingfor the ineffable pleasure your soul will experience if you believe in aplace called heaven after physical death. Reflect for a moment onany other subtle treasures of the purse, the heart, or concepts inyour mind that someday may bear fruit.

Now muse about your thoughts, about any kind of treasure youplease. Try coining whatever it is into words abounding with similes,metaphors, figurative language, and apt word choices singing anddancing across a page with a troubadour's lanyour poem couldbe worth as much as $500 if judged to be the grand prize winner ofthe 4th annual Max Ehrmann Poetry Competition.

To be eligible, an entrant must be living, working, or attendingschool in Clay, Parke, Putnam, Sullivan, Vermillion, and Vigo Coun-ties in Indiana. Each entrant can submit up to two poems. There isno entry fee. Poems must be typewritten and no single poem can belonger than one page. In addition to the grand prize, there will be asecond prize of $250 and a third of $100, plus cash and gift prizes forhigh school, middle school, and elementary school students plus acouple more $25 gift certificates to Barnes and Noble at IndianaState.

"We have poetry judges from outside of this area to ensure fair-ness," said Mary Kramer, executive director Wabash Valley ArtSpaces, which will be administering the 2014 competition in con-junction with Indiana State University's Community School of theArts. "We will have an awards ceremony in the spring for all six cate-gories at St. Mary-of-the-Woods College.

"Interest in the schools has been high from the beginning of the

competition four years ago. We didn't know the first year how muchinterest the Ehrmann competition would create, but it has beengreat. Last year we had 400 poems submitted, including 212 fromadults."

The competition started after the 2010 installation of the MaxEhrmann statue at Seventh and Wabash as a way to encourage peo-ple to learn more about the poet of "Desiderata" and to be inspiredto do their own poetry.

Kramer credits the original interest in the Ehrmann statue and theensuing poetry competition to the appearance in the Terre Hautearea of Cormack O'Duffy, formerly the choir director at St. Joseph'schurch. O'Duffy, a natural-born Irishman, loved Ehrmann's poetry.Upon arriving in Terre Haute, he was surprised that there was novisible memorial of Ehrmann in the city. In 2007, an opinion col-umn O'Duffy wrote in the Tribune-Star about the lack of remem-brance triggered a movement to memorialize Ehrmann. TheSeventh Street and Wabash Avenue Ehrmann statue created byartist Bill Wolfe was the revival's premiere physical outcome.

For the first poetry competition, Art Spaces partnered with theSwope Museum, and for the next two years it partnered with Arts Il-liana. This year Arts Illiana is working with the Community Schoolof the Arts. Previous themes have included poems about the city inwhich entrants lived, poetry inspired by nature, a work of art, and anurban environment. During 2013's Year of the River, poetry was tobe in some way on the theme of "water."

"I always look forward to seeing what kind of responses we get toour themes in the Ehrmann competition," said Kramer. "Often thepoems take unexpected approaches. I think Max would be happy."
