My View from the Pilot house By Mike Boys Pilot News Consultant
A nother sign of fall is the arrival of that round, orange, squash-like, thing we call pumpkins.
Of course, Linus knows that the GREAT PUMPKIN will rise up from the pumpkin patch and give toys to all the kids. Yeh, well, uh ... I used to raise pumpkins in our “pumpkin patch” for our kids and then our grand kids. When the pumpkins started to form (a little larger than a softball), I would take a nail and scratch my grandkids name on it. Then in the fall when the pumpkin matures, I would have them find their very own special pumpkin. They all just loved looking for it and they still do.

Hey, we’re getting educational again. While doing research on county schools, I touched on West Townhip School in my column of April 30, 2009 but didn’t give any in-depth information. But, I discovered one thing: Now, keep in mind when I chose West Township School to write about – it was because at that time there wasn’t any town or city to support it – just the township. Polk Township has Tyner and Teegarden and Tippecanoe Township has Tippecanoe, but West Township has no community, so that’s why I wanted to focus on this school. It had quite a history and still has its famous “flowing spring.”

Moving Day at the Museum |

My View from the Pilot house By Mike Boys Pilot News Consultant
Renovation of the newly acquired buildings began about a year ago this month. Visitors to the Marshall County Historical Museum in downtown Plymouth had to put up with the building crew’s noise and dust, but now that is in the past.
Bright new paint, new wood trim, refinishing the original wood floors, new electrical fixtures and I don’t know what all. Staff members have been working hard to clean, sweep, move shelves, book cases, files, viewing machines, photographs etc., etc.
So, with all of this going on, the museum is closed to the public and will reopen Tuesday, October 13, 2009.

By Lourdes Lemler Guest Commentary
I welcomed the chance to assist with Money Smart Week in Marshall County because of the need for help by households in all socio-economic groups. One may be very well versed in one category, but not in another. Take advantage of the classes that are free and you may be able to put the information to good use.

Have you ever looked through a stereoscope? |

My View from the Pilot house By Mike Boys Pilot News Consultant
Having a stereopticon was exciting and fascinating and a wonderful source for home entertainment. And they were in 3-D!
My first introduction to a stereopticon (also called a stereoscope), was about 1942 at the Plymouth Carnegie Library. I used to go to the shelf and sort through the box of double-photo cardboard slides until I found one that looked interesting.
