WRCTE instructor receives culinary arts instructor award

Monday, March 18, 2019 9:03 PM

A local teacher recently received state-wide recognition in culinary arts.
Brian Greene, instructor for the Wabash River Career and Technical Education (WRCTE) district’s Culinary Arts program, was recently recognized as Indiana ProStart Culinary Arts Teacher of the Year. This award is part of the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF) ProStart Educator Excellence Awards.
These awards recognize outstanding educators who use the ProStart program in their classrooms. These educators are nominated by state restaurant associations.
Greene began teaching introductory food classes at Seeger in 2007. In 2012, he began a career and technical education (CTE) program for the culinary arts. While at Purdue, he took classes on food and cooking for licensing as a family and consumer science teacher. He is a self-taught chef.
“Mainly, I watched a lot of cooking shows on PBS and jumped in fearlessly.”
He also had the opportunity to participate in a two-week externship at a restaurant in North Carolina. When he returned home, he gave presentations about the experience.

The Jim Davis Bridge in rural Montgomery County was closed Monday while crews cleared a log jam. To clear the jam, equipment was used to lift pieces from the clogged side and place them on the bridge. Those pieces were then cut down and returned to the Sugar Creek on the other side of the bridge, making a splash on the way down!

One small step for man

Monday, March 18, 2019 4:00 AM

One Sunday night in July 1969, one billion people huddled around their radios and TV screens in awe as the United States walked on the moon for the first time. In that moment, the world was united in celebration of human ingenuity and inspired by the possibility that by working together, we can quite literally reach the stars.
What better way to tie in this year’s Indiana FTC State Championship robotics competition than to give each and every contestant a chance to take “one small step for man” knowing that in their futures they may very well contribute to “one giant leap for mankind!” The championship was held Saturday at Crawfordsville High School.

** The 739 households in the Brown Township community call it, simply, the Library. Officially it is the Waveland Brown Township Public Library and has, over the last year, been undergoing upgrades to preserve the building and better serve the community. First was a new heating and air conditioning system that enables the library to heat/cool different zones. This lowers the HVAC bills considerably. A new look to the front of the building included new entrance steps with safety rail, new sidewalk and landscaping. In the near future, a new entrance door will be installed that mimics the original entrance doors to the library. This week, the library held an open house to invite the public to see the new shelving and adult reading area. The new shelving is sturdier, to protect and display the thousands of titles available, and brings a rich, warm wood tone look to the main hall. The new adult reading area features comfortable living room style chairs and a soon-to-be-added reading table. Librarian Rick Payne and the entire staff invite everyone to experience one of Montgomery County’s best libraries. The Library is located at 115 East Green Street in downtown Waveland. (765) 435-2700.

CLUB NEWS: Montgomery County Retired Teachers Association

Sunday, March 17, 2019 8:43 PM

MCRTA Meeting March 11, 2019
The Montgomery County Retired Teachers Association met March 11, 2019 at the Crawfordsville Public Library. Fifty five members and guests were in attendance. The meeting was called to order by President Stan Covey. Covey recognized the March birthdays and the invocation was given by Shelia Hodges. A delicious lunch was served by Allen’s County Kitchen.
The Program was given by Mary Lou Dawald on Eva Kor’s story of forgiveness. Dawald and Dr. Linda Airey accompanied Eva on her annual trip to Auschwitz. As a childhood captive in Auschwitz, Eva saw her two sisters and parents taken away at the selection platform, never to be seen again. Eva and her twin, Miriam were saved, only to be victims of Dr. Joseph Mengele’s twin experiments. Although Eva’s childhood was tragic Eva has been able ultimately, to heal herself by forgiving her enemies. Miriam died at age 59 as a result of the experiments performed by Dr. Mengele. C.A.N.D.L.E.S. (Children of Auschwitz Nazi Deadly Lab Experiment Survivors) Museum was founded by Eva in Terre Haute in 1995. In 2001 her museum was burned to the ground by arsonists who were never apprehended. Eighteen months later, the new museum opened on the same site. For more information about Eva’s amazing story go to candlesholocaustmuseum.org.
