Seven counties receive special recognition from Indiana Farm Bureau

0

Seven county Farm Bureaus were recognized for outstanding achievement during Indiana Farm Bureau’s state convention, held Dec. 12 and 13 in French Lick.

The recognition was through INFB’s county recognition program. All 92 county Farm Bureaus participated in the program.untitled

 

The seven county Farm Bureaus – Franklin, Jefferson, Kosciusko, Marshall, Montgomery, Pike and Washington – received special recognition for efforts that resulted in a significant impact or an increase in political influence and clout.

Three county Farm Bureaus were honored in the “influential organization” program area:

  • Jefferson County for the Madison Schools building project and referendum. They hosted local education meetings, worked with school board members, took ads in the local paper and radio station. Those efforts paid off with 77 percent of the county voting to defeat the referendum.
  • Marshall County for its efforts to establish a better relationship with Sen. Dan Coats and his staff and show the senator the diverse agriculture of northern Indiana, its importance to the local economy, and share the issues facing agriculture. They invited 10 surrounding counties meet with Senator Coats and his staff. One hundred and sixty-eight people attended the event including mayors, school superintendents, county officials and town managers and Farm Bureau members.
  • Montgomery County Young Farmer group, which hosted a dinner and discussion with federal, state and local lawmakers. The goal was to introduce the younger ag community – including high school students – to their representatives.
  • Two county Farm Bureaus were recognized in the “young farmer and youth” category:
  • Washington County for its “See What Ag Gives” (or SWAG) campaign to publicly celebrate agriculture at their county fair. There were nightly SWAG searches, an educational ag-focused spinning wheel at their fair booth, a dedicated kid’s day SWAG search, and the first annual Ag Hall of Fame dinner and Farmer’s Health initiative.
  • Franklin County’s strong young farmer program for its community outreach. They support local food pantries, buy livestock for underprivileged families at the local 4-H auction, support needy families at Christmas, sell ice cream at the county fair, host a truck and tractor pull each spring, purchased grain rescue tubes for local fire departments. They have 2,500 fans on their Facebook page.
  • Three Impact Awards were presented for “public relations and education”:
  • Pike County for its county fair-based campaign to increase its public profile. The county financially supported the Pike County 4-H Council, purchased livestock in the 4-H auction, greeted over 300 people at a family fun night Ag in the Classroom event, hosted an Our Food Link function and promoted farm safety to non-farm families.
  • Kosciusko County partnered with Lake City radio stations to have a week-long ag trivia contest on two different local radio stations.  Each of the 20 winners was awarded a $25 gift card to a local supermarket. They also worked with eight area farmers to sponsor the grand prize, a $500 gift card to the same supermarket.
  • Franklin County purchased two grain rescue tubes, two grain evacuation augers, rescue harnesses and rigging for their local fire departments.  They also provided training for local farmers and volunteer firemen. A local youth had recently perished in a grain bin accident, so this training event was especially close to their hearts.

 

Other counties were recognized for their work in INFB’s five program areas: membership outreach; issue engagement; influential organization; young farmers and youth; and public relations and education. Counties could qualify as “cardinals,” “hawks” or “falcons” (the highest level). For a full list of all the county Farm Bureaus and the awards they earned, visit http://conv.infb.org/awards .

SEN. HOUCHIN HONORS 2014 STATEHOOD DAY ESSAY WINNER: State Sen. Erin Houchin (right) congratulates Palmyra fourth-grader Olivia Abner (left) for winning first place in this year’s Statehood Day essay contest. Judges chose Abner’s essay from more than 1,000 submitted by fourth-grade students from across Indiana. The Statehood Day essay contest is held annually on Dec. 11 to celebrate Indiana becoming the nation’s nineteenth state.

“Seeing young Hoosiers like Olivia take pride in our state is heart-warming,” Houchin said. “Statehood Day is a time to celebrate what makes us Hoosiers. Olivia’s essay brings us back to the beginning and allows us to reflect on the history of this great state. ”

Thursday’s Statehood Day honored the theme of “Hoosier Bicentennial Moments,” with a tour of the Statehouse, as well as a program with remarks from government officials, displays of original copies of Indiana’s 1816 and 1851 constitutions and the reading of Abner’s winning essay.

“‘Bicentennial moments’ surround me,” Abner read. “Growing up in Harrison County, home to Corydon and the first state capitol, I see history every day.  The entire town of Corydon is historical and then there are treasures from the early years that still exist.”

Sponsored by the Indiana Statehouse Tour Office and Indiana State Library, the Statehood Day essay contest for fourth-grade students is held annually on Dec. 11 to celebrate Indiana becoming the nation’s nineteenth state. More information can be found at www.in.gov/library/statehood.htm.

Christopher the Christmas Tree Creator Bowers Dies at 76

0

The creative mind behind Christopher the Christmas Tree, George Thomas Bowers, age 76 of Salem, passed away Thursday, December 11 at Indiana University Health in Bloomington.

maxresdefault
George Bowers appeared in the WSLM STUDIOS last November 2013 with Mayor David Bower and the FYI SHOW BAND to sing his song, Christopher the Christmas Tree

$(KGrHqV,!lsE65gHLWfFBO3Vmo8nEQ~~60_35images

Mr. Bowers was born November 11, 1938 on Bowers Tree Farm the son of John Thomas and Inez M  artin Bowers.   He graduated high school in Mt. Summit, Indiana.  He was a member of St. Patricks Catholic Church in Salem. He attended Purdue and Ball State University.

Bowers toured and sang with Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians.  He was a song writer and entertainer in his adult life.  He was the author and creator of “Christopher the Christmas Tree”. He performed in numerous schools for countless numbers of children all around the world.

Bowers created the concept of Christopher the Christmas tree, the story of a lonely tree growing up to the the White House Christmas Tree while working on his family’s Christmas Tree farm north of Salem.

While touring with Fred Waring, Bowers developed the idea into a song and also wrote 12 other songs that eventually ended up on an album.

In the early 90s, Bowers dream of bringing Christopher to life came when he worked with animator Tim Delaney and his friends, Tompall, Chuck and Jim Glaser to create a 30-minute animated film.

The songs Bowers wrote and developed on a full length album were incorporated into the animated film that debuted on Network TV  and later on VHS and DVD.

A color book was also created as well as other marketing materials for Christopher.

Bowers worked tirelessly to promote Christopher and had always dreamed of the White House naming one of their trees after his creation. He came close during the Nixon administration.

Bowers’ was a great friend of Salem as well as WSLM, having recorded several Christmas promotional commercials over the years. He was last on the radio in Nov. 2013 to promote a special showing of Christopher and celebration at the Salem Middle School.

Bower enjoyed all his friends and family and loved to tell them all the “joke of the day”.

He is survived by his wife of 38 years:  Betty Blank Bowers of Salem, three sons:  Gregory Jo Bowers (Debbie) of Smithville, Kentucky,  Thomas Alvin Bowers of Salem and Adam Bowers (Brittany) of Omaha, Nebraska, 5 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.  He was preceded in death by his parents, his son:  Jeffrey Marc Bowers, and his sister:  Mary Ann Johnson.

Funeral services will be held Tuesday at 11:00AM at St. Patricks Catholic Church.  Burial will follow in St. Patricks Cemetery.  Visitation will be Monday from 4-8PM and Tuesday from 9-10:30AM at Weathers Funeral Home.

In light of the fact that he loved children and Christmas, in lieu of flowers, please donate to Shop With a Cop in Salem, Indiana in memory of George T. Bowers.
