The new art gallery at Logansport High School was funded through a grant from the Cass County Community Foundation.

This has been a long winter but I’m relatively sure, based on the events popping up on CassCountyCalendar.com, that spring must be around the corner.

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about all the cool stuff I learn talking to people in our community.

And my goal is to do a better job sharing it with all of you.

of the Cass County Government Building. And I’ve had the privilege of listening to the candidates for mayor and clerk treasurer.

Each one of them is running because they feel like they can offer something to the future of our community. If you live in the city, what you can offer is your vote. We’ll be sharing the interviews during the month of April and I hope you’ll take the time to listen and hear what each candidate has to say, then make your choice accordingly.

If you don’t live in the city of Logansport, you won’t be able to vote in the city election, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t affected by the decisions city leaders make.

Soon, we’ll hopefully hear more about the power plant project and that’s something that affects us all.

Sometimes, it’s hard to follow all the things that our elected officials are doing — even for those of us in the media who receive a continuous stream of press releases touting their accomplishments.

We have access to more information today than we’ve ever had. Look for some exciting new stuff from us in the coming weeks. I say that a lot, but it’s because we really are listening to what people say and reworking our products accordingly, to make sure we’re making it easy for people to find, access, understand and share local information.

Here’s to new beginnings. Happy Spring!

Yard waste pickup begins April 1 The Logansport Street Department will begin collecting yard waste and brush on a regular schedule the week of April 1.

• Yard waste must be placed in biodegradable bags and weigh less than 50 lbs. Biodegradable bags are available at local hardware stores.

• No rocks, dirt, sod, walnuts, animal feces, trash and/or plastic are to be place in the bags.

• Pick-up is the same day and location as your household trash pick -up.

Tree and bush trimmings are picked up on an every-other week basis.

• Brush piles should be stacked with cut ends facing the street or alley.

Stack the piles in an area where the Street Department dump trucks can easily maneuver. Do not stack piles of brush under guy wires or low hanging limbs, etc.

• If your pile is too large or too tangled, t will be picked up with a loader

More details on power plant expected soon

after the regular brush routes are finished.

• The Street Department does not clean up work done by contractors.

• The city turns the yard waste and brush into compost and mulch.

Free mulch and compost are available to city and county residents April 1 - Nov. 30, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. at the Street Department, 612 Race Street.

March 31 is the deadline for a $1.75 million franchise fee from the power plant developers to be received by the Logansport Board of Public Works and safety. The project has been in the works since Nov. 2012. TCS Logansport Energy Group LLC was announced as the company pursuing the project last summer. Little is known about the company but city officials have maintained that more details will be available once the company secures its financing and pays the franchise fee, which the city says will recoup consulting expenses spent to pursue the project.

A joint executive session of the Logansport City Council and Utility Service Board is scheduled for noon on Monday, March 31. The Board of Public Works and Safety meets at 9 a.m. each Wednesday.

Tire collection returns in April And now to answer one of the most frequently asked questions: When will you begin to accept tires?

I’m pleased to report that it won’t Michelle DIALS Editor/publisher be much longer.

In fact, we are going to begin a couple of weeks earlier this year. This program is for Cass County residents and farmers only; not for businesses. We will begin taking tires, by appointment only, on Wednesday April 1. Just contact the office to set up a time to bring the tires to our warehouse. This program will be in place until at least the end of July or until the appointments significantly slow down, so don’t be concerned if you are unable to get them to us right away.

This is an expensive program for us to run, and since we do not receive any tax money, or have a user fee, there are two ways you can help. The first is simply by making a donation when you drop off tires. The second is with the feeschedule the Solid Waste Board has approved, and the one which is unchanged from the past two years.

Here is how the program works: The first ten (10), car or small truck tires for Cass County residents and farmers are free. After that, there is a $2.00 charge per tire, with no limit.

Semi tires are $5.00 each, with no limit. Tractor tires are $15.00 each for the first four (4) and $30.00 each for tires five through a limit of ten (10).

4 | Cass County INfo: | March 2015

While this fee schedule did not cover our costs the past two years, it has helped. And especially when it comes to car tires, most people do not have more than ten tires to bring in, so for those people, there is no charge.

As a little background, the District had conducted a tire amnesty day on a Saturday for years. However, this five day a week collection has been a lot more convenient for people, especially farmers who may have been in the field on that one day. Running it out of the warehouse, at 518 High Street, has also allowed us to control some costs, because we can now just call for a semi to be moved, and another put in, when it’s full.

Last year we loaded four semis, and would anticipate about the same volume this year. So simply call the office (574) 732-9253, to schedule an appointment to drop off tires, beginning April 1.

We are also attempting to reach out to the business community, with our fluorescent tube collection. We are accepting these four (4) and eight (8) foot tubes from businesses for recycling, for a small fee. As a matter of fact, we recently collected close to 500 tubes from a local business and had them recycled. This small fee, which would likely save businesses some money, simply allows us to recover our costs.

If you want any information on the specifics of the program, please contact the office, and I will be happy to go over them with you.

We are continuing to collect elec-

tronics at our warehouse by appointment five days a week. We reached well over 100,000 pounds of e-waste collected last year, and hope to be close to 200,000 pounds this year.

One concern districts throughout the state are dealing with centers on partially recycled televisions that are being brought to them. The vendors we work with generally charge district to accept CRT televisions and monitors, because of the four to eight pounds of lead and other hazardous material in them. Therefore when we give them televisions that have essentially had “the good stuff” removed, they are losing money on them.

The CCSWMD Board, in working with our vendor, RecycleForce, is looking into the most viable and cost-effective way to handle both the partially scrapped televisions and the CRT’s.

My advice would be this: If you are going to take anything from a television, and sell that product to someone, then you need to be responsible for the proper disposal of the remainder of the unit.

Electronics can’t be taken to the landfill, so the proper disposal may be to bring them to the district and pay a small fee to have the remaining product taken care of. A district from this region charges $10.00 for the small televisions that have been scrapped, and $20.00 for the larger ones.

Because of the cost of recycling both the partially scrapped televisions, and even the CRT televisions and monitors that are intact, there is the CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

Indiana’s Community Foundations Hit Halfway Mark of $66 Million Matching Grant Challenge Indiana counties are a little richer today. In July 2014, Lilly Endowment Inc. announced a statewide challenge grant to community foundations, totaling $66 million, with incentives that include a $1-for-$1 dollar match.

Those incentives have worked.

Community foundations have already raised more than 50% toward the match.

“With this grant, and the different match opportunities, we are projecting more than $130 million will be raised for our communities. We still have a way to go but are thrilled with such a strong start,” says Rosemary Dorsa, vice president of the Indiana Philanthropy Alliance, a membership association that supports Indiana’s community foundations.

The Endowment crafted the Giving Indiana Funds for Tomorrow (GIFT) grant opportunity to allow community foundations to have flexibility in how the charitable funds can be used in each community, and offer meaningful incentives that encourage community members to get involved.

The Cass County Community Foundation is eligible for up to $500,000 if it meets its match challenge by March 31, 2016. The Community Foundation has a goal of raising $250,000 for Community Endowments which produce the income used for supporting our local non-profits. Each dollar donated between last summer and the March 2016 deadline will be matched $1 for $1 by Lilly Endowment. CCCF is also participating in the Community Foundation Discretionary Option. The 5 | Cass County INfo: | March 2015

$250,000 available from Lilly Endowment for the option must be matched locally by $500,000. The Foundation will release the exciting details of the local projects in the next few days.

“We are excited to be a part of this opportunity,” said Deanna Crispen, CCCF President. “Once we meet the challenge, we will have increased our support for community projects and received the projected $500,000 matching dollars to invest in our community.”

This GIFT initiative matching grant greatly enhances the local community and Indiana as a whole. In 1990, when the first GIFT grant was made, Indiana was home to only a dozen community foundations. Now, there are 94 community foundations and county affiliate funds in Indiana, serving each of Indiana’s 92 counties. Local leaders and community volunteers make decisions that positively address their own unique community needs.

“The grant is in line with a long-time vision of Indiana communities growing their capacity to make critical decisions for their own people now and in the future,” says Dorsa.

Funds are invested to grow over time, creating a greater impact year after year. This matching opportunity is the sixth phase of the Endowment’s GIFT initiative for Indiana community foundations. The GIFT initiative was designed to help local Indiana communities develop the philanthropic capacity to address their own needs and challenges. Since 1990, the value of Indiana’s community foundations

that have regularly participated in GIFT grew from $30 million to almost $2 billion, and more than $915 million went back into the communities through local grants.

This new matching challenge continues that growth and could add about $132 million in new dollars, which would generate $6 million or more in additional grants every year… forever! But, donors are needed. “This generous match opportunity is exciting because anyone can get involved in a big way,” says Dorsa. “Many gifts to community endowments will be matched $1 for $1, which effectively doubles that donor’s gift.”

The $1-for-$1 match includes a focus on building community endowments that are unrestricted and have the greatest flexibility to respond to local needs from year to year, decade to decade. The Endowment’s match will be in amounts from $500,000 to $2 million, depending on the population of the county.

Each community foundation or affiliate fund has designed its own challenge within the parameters of the grant and should be contacted for local eligibility. Typically, gifts qualifying for matching funds must consist of contributions of cash or property which can include marketable securities, cash equivalents, and real property. Multi-year pledges are also able to be matched as long as each gift is received by the community foundation before March 31, 2016.

Cass County area residents can now sign up for a membership in a CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture program, offered by Silverthorn Farm of Rossville. Membership entitles participants to a broad range of fresh picked, chemical-free produce delivered weekly.

CSA’s have become increasingly popular in recent years as consumer demand for local, sustainably produced foods has surged. The CSA concept benefits farmers by providing cash flow early in the production period, and while members assume production risks, they are relatively assured of fresh foods and can claim the satisfaction of knowing where and how they were produced.

After choosing a level of participation from $200-$800 (value-added, e.g. the $800 level is a $920 value), members place orders online from the farm’s availability list and then pick up their produce on Thursday afternoons from 3-5:30 at Bodyworks in Logansport. Members are not obligated to take weekly delivery, have the option of choosing only the produce items they want, and have up to two years to redeem their investment.

Eat FRESH Cass County, a task force operating within the Cass County Resource Network, has been instrumental in making the local CSA a reality.

Information on Silverthorn Farm, sign-up, and FAQ’s are available at the farm’s website: www.silverthorn-farm.com.
