You need to remember where you came from, as well as being aware you’re headed to as you go through life, according to Indiana Farm Bureau 2nd Vice President Isabella Chism. Chism lives in Galveston (near Gas City in north central Indiana) with her husband Kent, and has three adult children. They raise corn and soybeans on their farm. Chism said that it takes three things to live the good life: persistence, patience, and pride in what you do. She asked the audience, “How many of you are activists?” Several people raised their hands, and she said, “Every one of you are activists. It means you’re out doing something.” Chism was born in Austria, and immigrated over to the United States with her parents when she was six years old. Her father had been a school teacher in Austria before they came over to the US. She said that whatever she has done in life or whatever has happened to her in life throughout the years, she truly believes that “every one of us has the seed to be what we are to be.”

NH Board hears of interest free loan Federal Stimulus Funds

North Harrison interim Supt. Randy Barrett informed the Board of School Trustees Thursday night that with Federal Stimulus Funds, an interest free loan could be possible, if the administration applies for the funds. The funds for this type of loan are controlled by the states, and the Indiana Dept. of Education would be the organization giving the loan out. Barrett stressed the interest free aspect of the loan to the members of the North Harrison Board of School Trustees. “This bond is unique, in that there is no interest (charged),” said Barrett. The payback time would be 15 to 16 years, and only the amount of the original loan would need to be paid back, according to Barrett. In another matter regarding finances, Barrett cautioned that the North Harrison Community School Corporation lost $107 million in assessed evaluation. The amount of money raised by the school corporation in tax levies will actually be higher, due to the tax rates being higher.
