Out of the Past: Out of the past: March 4 (3/4/20) - Southeast Missourian

The State government has accorded administrative sanction of up to 5 lakh each for 76 churches and church-run-institutions across the State for grant-in-aid towards construction and repairs under a Minorities Welfare Department scheme against proposals received by the district Collectors between 2016 and early 2019.

Principal Secretary to Govt. Md. Ilyas Rizvi issued a Government Order to this effect on Monday.

As part of the scheme, 66 churches and church-run-institutions would be given 5 lakh each and 10 others would be given less than 5 lakh for carrying out construction or repairs, renovations, construction of compound walls and others by the A.P. State Christian (Minorities) Corporation, the order states. The total grand-in-aid amounts to about 3.6 crore.

The Mandal Parishad Development Officers or Municipal Commissioners concerned would have to verify and ensure that the institution doesnt violate any rules and works are completed in three months.

The churches recommended by the Collectors are from Krishna, Kurnool, Prakasam, East Godavari, West Godavari, Anantapur and Kadapa districts.

The scheme of supporting churches in carrying out repairs, maintenance, new construction and others was first introduced in 2002 and a sum of 30, 000 towards repairs and 1 lakh as a maximum permissible amount towards new constructions was announced.

Later the maximum permissible amount was enhanced to 3 lakh in 2016 and 5 lakh in 2018 by the then government.

Statement from Rockland County Executive Ed Day on the Passing of Rev. Louis Sanders:

Reverend Louis Sanders was a fixture of Rockland County serving on numerous boards and organizations and making his presence felt. Rev. Sanders well deserving of the recognition he received having been presented with the Rockland County Buffalo Soldiers Award in 2014 and being inducted into the Rockland County Civil Rights Hall of Fame in 2009. His leadership, as Senior Pastor of the St. Charles A.M.E. Zion Church in Sparkill, was noted for how he raised up those around him and saw the potential of each and every person. I ask that we all keep Rev. Sanders in our thoughts and prayers and work as he did, serving his community with respect and empathy.

Statement By Rockland County Legislator Toney L. Earl on the Passing of Rev. Dr. Louis Sanders:

For the second time this week, I am devastated to learn of the passing of a true stalwart of Rockland County the Rev. Louis Sanders. I knew Rev. Sanders since the 1970s, when our wives were at nursing school together.

I am humbled by his impressive resume because everything Rev. Sanders did was to help others. He not only served the people of Rockland County, but hurricane victims in Mississippi and struggling poor families in Africa.

Rev. Sanders also served our country as a U.S. Air Force chaplain. He fought against racial segregation and he fought for human and civil rights. He did so much for so many and its a deep loss for all he knew.

Legislator Earl recognized Rev. Sanders for his many contributions and achievements in 2017, when he presented the reverend with a Distinguished Service Award, the Legislatures highest honor. Rev. Sanders was inducted into the Rockland County Civil Rights Hall of Fame in 2009, and his portrait is on permanent display in the Allison-Parris County Office Building in New City.

Rev. Sanders served as pastor of the St. Charles African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church in Sparkill for nearly four decades. He was a retired Social Studies teacher and championship basketball coach. At St. Charles, he increased the churchs membership, renovated the sanctuary and steered the construction of a $1 million fellowship hall. He was ordained in 1975 after studying at Union Theological Seminary in New York City.

Under Rev. Sanders direction, St. Charles became a place of community, with an SAT tutoring program, a homeless youth program, a cultural awareness program for children of color, and an on-site HIV and AIDS testing and education program.

Rev. Sanders service extended to the military and as a U.S. Air Force chaplain, he helped train other military chaplains for service in Desert Storm. He retired as a lieutenant colonel in 2003. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Rev. Sanders worked to collect truckloads of supplies for families in hard-hit Jackson, Mississippi. Under his leadership, St. Charles also helped many of the impacted families to find housing and to pay their rent for a year.

His international mission work included building churches in the Republic of Ghana. He also helped provide scholarships to enable poor youth in Ghana to attend school. Rev. Sanders grew up during the days of segregation and fought against racial discrimination as part of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, and for the remainder of his life. Rev. Louis and Connie Sanders were married for more than 50 years. They have three children and several grandchildren and had retired to Virginia.

Reverend Sanders photo is on display at the Rockland County Civil Rights Hall of Fame in the Allison-Parris Office Building, 11 New Hempstead Road, New City, NY.

ed day, Louis Sanders

Plants make people happy. They inject our homes with life, personality and vitality.

Until we kill them. (Dont feel too guilty about that; you can always compost them.)

But it doesnt have to be that way. Pothos, Aglaonema and Dracaena are practically kill-proof.

Sanseviera can go weeks without water. Fast-growing hoya, often called wax plants, can live forever.

Lee esta historia en espaol.

If you travel, or are away from home a lot, consider types of houseplants that dont need a lot of light and are forgiving if you forget to water them every now and then, said Rhiannon Cramm, of Mickey Hargitay Plants.

With that in mind, here are some suggestions from Southern California plant experts Cramm, Danae Horst of Folia Collective, Christine Kelso of Instagrams Work Hard Plant Hard and Justina Blakeney of the Jungalow.

Dwarf sansevieria in vintage pots.

(Christina House / Los Angeles Times)

1. Sansevieria: Popular types of sansevieria such as the snake plant, or mother-in-laws-tongue, are easy to grow, require little water and thrive in warm interiors. Although often considered an office plant, there are many interesting varieties to choose from in various shapes, sizes and colors, including the horn-like cylindrica and patens.

The hoya plant has waxy, heart-shaped foliage.

(Ann Summa)

2. Hoya: Many Hoya species do best in bright, filtered light but can be allowed to dry out between waterings because its leaves store water.

Peperomia caperata, emerald ripple

(Lisa Boone )

3. Peperomia caperata, emerald ripple: Peperomia caperata thrive in low, medium, or bright indirect light and retain water in its heart-shaped, corrugated leaves. Resistant to disease and pests, the ripple peperomia is a compact, trouble-free plant that occasionally produces thin, cream colored flower stalks.

Epipremnum aureum, or pothos, devils ivy

4. Epipremnum aureum, or pothos, devils ivy: This climber is known for its long, trailing stems that can grow to 8 feet or more. That is why you will often see it trailing from the rafters in restaurants. You can kill this plant and revive it with water. I speak from experience.

Satin pothos, or silver vine, is the easiest of its genus to grow.

5. Scindapsus pictus, or satin pothos: This popular climber is one of the easiest Scindapsus to grow. Keep it warm, in bright, indirect light, take care not to over water it, and it will be happy.

Chinese Evergreen, Silver_Bay

(Potted)

6. Aglaonema, or Chinese evergreen: The Chinese evergreen is often recommended for beginners because it is hearty, easy to grow, drought tolerant and can endure just about any indoor lighting situation.

Spathiphyllum, peace lily.

7. Spathiphyllum, or peace lily: Grow in medium light, in normal room temperatures, and water moderately and you will be treated to fragrant flowers in the spring.

8. Dracaena Lisa cane and marginata: If you are looking for something taller, the Dracaena Lisa cane and marginata hold up well in lower light. A healthy Lisa cane can grow as high as 7 to 8 feet tall with very little sunlight. Dracaena are popular for their striped, glossy leaves.

ZZ plant, Zamioculcas zamiifolia

(The Sill )

9. Zamioculcas zamiifolia, or ZZ plant: If you are intimidated by houseplants, Zamioculcas zamiifolia, commonly known as the ZZ plant, is a tall, sculptural tropical that can survive just about anywhere.

Jade plant.

(Lisa Boone/Los Angeles Times)

10. Crassula ovata, or jade plant: This succulent needs little water, can withstand full sun to part shade, may grow to 4 feet tall and produces tiny pink or white star-shaped flowers.

Ponytail palm, beaucarnea recurvata

(Lee Reich/AP)

11. Beaucarnea recurvata, or ponytail palm: The ponytail palm is easy because it can grow almost anywhere. It is impossible to kill as long as you dont over water it.

Chlorophytum comosum, spider plant

(Lee Reigh/AP)

12. Chlorophytum comosum, or spider plant, curly or straight: Provide this popular houseplant with well-drained soil and bright, indirect light and it will treat you to ornamental leaves that sprout spider-shaped plantlets.

Heartleaf philodendron, Philodendron hederaceum

(The Sill )

13. Philodendron hederaceum: This plant, with its heart-shaped green leaves and trailing vines, is one of the most common houseplants and one of the easiest to grow. The plant can survive in a variety of lighting conditions and can be grown as a climbing or trailing specimen in baskets.

Haworthia fasciata, center.

(Ricardo DeAratanha/Los Angeles Times )

14. Haworthia fasciata: Small and dramatic, this succulent has dark green leaves and white horizontal stripes. It is easy to grow and will thrive in partial shade, which is an unusual feat for a succulent.

I love houseplants, and I do have some beauties! The truth is I don't have a green thumb; I just know a few tricks and tips that I will gladly share with you. Healthy, beautiful houseplants are an economical way to bring instant warmth and beauty to a home, condo, apartment, dorm room, recreational vehicle -- or wherever else you call home.

I have friends who, I swear, were born with a green thumb. These talented people effortlessly grow lush, beautiful, exotic plants indoors. Then, there are the rest of us.

Here's my best-kept horticultural secret: I only consider plants in what I call the "thrivus neglectus" family, which comes from the Latin root meaning "really cheap and thrives even under the harshest conditions of poor light and owner neglect."

KNOW YOUR VARIETIES

If growing beautiful houseplants in your home or office isn't your forte, I have good news. It is possible to have lovely plants if you pick the right variety -- those that are hard to kill.

Peace lily: The indoor plant spathiphyllum, with its graceful nickname "peace lily," is an easy-care, low-light houseplant. It's beautiful, lush and fast-growing. Can you see a peace lily in every room?

Cast-iron plant: Aspidistra is also known as the "cast-iron plant," and for good reason. This baby can survive any condition, including low light and a dry environment. It has earned its nickname because it can survive in deep shade and does not like direct sun or extreme cold.

Devil's ivy: Epipremnum aureum, commonly called "pothos" or "devil's ivy," comes in many varieties that tolerate poor light and actually enjoy being left alone. Nearly fuss-free, this lush, leafy evergreen pothos plant will tolerate a range of indoor growing conditions, including heat, aridity and dry shade.

Rubber plant: Ficus elastica, or "rubber plant," likes a cool, dimly lit space. But if you should happen to set it in a sunny area, watch out. It will grow like crazy, and you'll be searching on the internet for how to prune the darned thing!

Spider plant: Also known as chlorophytum comosum, "spider plant" is tough and does well in low light. It sends out these really cool trailing vines that develop tiny dangling baby "spiders" instead of flowers. Really cool!

Corn plant: Dracaena, or "corn plant," is a great choice for hot, dry apartments. This plant is a popular ornamental houseplant, grown both indoors and outdoors in subtropical climates. Bright indirect light is best for corn plant. Too much light can cause the leaves to burn. It reaches a height of about 3 feet indoors and has a bushy tree type of look. A corn plant's glossy leaves can grow up to 1 foot long and a couple of inches wide.

Mother-in-law's tongue: The ever-popular sansevieria trifasciata, nicknamed "snake plant" or "mother-in-law's tongue" (best nickname ever), likes full sun to low light source and even moisture. It will survive even under the most severely neglectful conditions. Sansevieria trifasciata is prized for its stiff, upright leaves that range from 1 to 8 feet tall, depending on the variety.

KNOW WHERE TO BUY

I'm a huge fan of the Walmart and Target garden departments. Home improvement centers like Home Depot and Lowe's are excellent sources as well. Just look for the bargain table and you'll run right into the plants on my list above.

KNOW WHEN TO WATER

Unlike silk and plastic, live houseplants do require water, and watering weekly is good. Pick a day, any day -- and then water your plants on the same day every week. Don't overdo it.

KNOW YOUR MAINTENANCE

Keep the leaves of your plants clean. Dust plugs the pores and prevents plants from taking in the carbon dioxide from the air. A damp cloth once every few weeks will do the trick.

Live plants are an inexpensive way to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere in any living space. As a bonus, they improve indoor air quality.

Select plants that require little or no care, and you'll save yourself both time and money.

WEST ALLIS The clock struck noon Wednesday, the doors opened, the rush was on.

As the initial crowd ofpatrons swelled intothe 2020 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sports Show, it signaled not only the start of the 80th annual event but the beginning of new opportunities.

A new fishing season, even.

"Trout pond, that's where we're headed," said Rod MacDonald, 77, of Menomonee Falls. "It's our tradition."

MacDonald was first in line to buy tickets Wednesday at the indoor fishing hole. At his side were hisgrandson Han MacDonald, 14, and granddaughter Abi MacDonald, 11, both of Menomonee Falls.

Most of Wisconsin has acatch-and-release troutseason that runs from January to early May.

But inthe temperature-controlled environs ofthe Wisconsin State Fair Park Exposition Center, Sports Show attendees are treated to a five-day catch-keep-eatseason in theworld's biggest indoor trout pond.

Loyal groups of Sports Show attendees make beelines each year to two attractions after the opening bell: the Department of Natural Resources booth to buy fishing and hunting licenses, and the trout pond.

"I think this is more fun," MacDonald said, picking up a rod at the water's edge.

The trout pond hasbeen a feature of the Sports Show since its inception, according to the late show promoterand historian Bob Gautsche of Hayward.

A decade ago Gautsche told me a precious story from the early days of the show when a seal, trained to perform in another attraction,got out of its cage and waddled over for a sashimi dinner at the fish-filled pool.

The smell of fresh trout was too much for it to resist.

The anglers who return year-after-year feel a similar pull.

By 12:05, a line of several dozen people formed behind the MacDonald clan.

They included 11 members of the Heritsch family spanning three generations and ranging in age from 2 to 64.

"He makes us get (to the Sports Show)20minutes early," said Bobbi Heritsch Schmeling, 32, of Brookfield, referring to her father, P.J. Heritsch, 64, of New Berlin.

Some anglers use solunar tables and moon phase charts to guide their fishing times.

Sports Show anglers do just fine with awrist watch and acalendar.

"Well, if I've learned one thing, it's good fishing when the show opens," Hertisch said. "We bring the whole family and have a ball."

Bobbi Schmeling of Brookfield attempts to hold a brook trout caught by her daughter Allie at the trout pond at the Sports Show.(Photo: Paul A. Smith)

Heritsch is keeping to a tradition that runs deep. He has been fishing at the Sports Show trout pond for 60 years.

"His father brought him when he was little, so we started our kids now our grandkids as soon as they can walk," said Patricia Heritsch.

The Sports Show trout pond is no ordinary waterhole.

At 75 by 15 feet and filled with 7,500 gallons of Wisconsin's finest groundwater, there is no bigger indoor trout pond on the planet, according to Jim Hill of W.N.C. Mountain Trout Fishing, owner and operator of the attraction.

In fact, the liner is so big and heavy Hill leaves it in Milwaukee year-round.

He does trout ponds at about 25 shows a year, from Maine to Texas; most use a "puddle" about 16 feet long.

"None of the other shows justify this," Hill said, nodding at the oval indoor lake.

The pond is surrounded by a wooden rail fence; duck decoys floated on the water. Several pumps keep the water flowing.

The primary attraction was finning in the current.

Earlier Wednesday morning, ahatchery truck from Silver Moon Springs Trout Farm in Elton delivered 1,000 pounds of trout to their new and temporary home in West Allis.

Hill said the Sports Show trout pond has another distinction: it's the only site where anglers have fallen in.

One was a teenage boy who leaned too far forward as he tried to coax a distant fish. He got wet to his knees.

The other was to a 50ish man whose ample physique might have caused a loss of balance and definitely resulted in a full-body splash down. "He floated half the pool before we got a hold of him," Hill said. "Someone hooked his wallet."

At about 12:10, anglers ringed the pond and Hill gave the green light.

The 2020 Sports Show trout season was on.

P.J. Heritsch of New Berlin helps hold a brook trout caught by his granddaughter Annabelle Schmeling, 3, of Brookfield, at the trout pond at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sports Show.(Photo: Paul A. Smith)

Within seconds, a half-dozen rods vibrated to the force of lively trout. The Uncle Josh pork rind baits were too much for the fish to resist.

"I got one, I got one!" said Annabelle Schmeling, 3, of Brookfield, as her grandfather P.J. Heritsch helped lift the line.

Got one she did. A beautiful 12-inch brook trout was soon taken off her hook and dispatched and Annabelle was on her way to try for a two-fish limit.

The rest of the Hertisch group did plenty of catching, too.

Their fish were bagged by trout pond staff and stored in a freezer on-site. The free service allows successful anglers to walk the show without fish in tow.

As the showgoes on andthe bite changes, the crew will tie on different baits, Hill said. More fish will be added to the pond, too.

For the Hertisch family, the traditional opening day Sports Show visittransitions into an evening dinner at P.J. and Pat's home in New Berlin.

"Fresh trout on the table and family all around," P.J. Heritsch said. "It's a heck of a day."

INDIANAPOLIS, March 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --

Ram Commercial today revealed the 2021 Ram ProMaster at National Truck Equipment Association's (NTEA) "The Work Truck Show" in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Aimed at one of the largest commercial customer categories vocational use the 2021 Ram ProMaster is a hardworking full-size van designed for businesses, construction jobsites and commercial fleets.

"Ram Commercial was formed in 2014 and our full-size van customers have enjoyed Ram's benchmark durability ever since," said Reid Bigland, Head of Ram Brand. "Ram Commercial continues to focus solely on trucks and commercial vehicles, allowing us to deliver confidence for hardworking people every day, no matter their line of work."

New for 2021, and making its debut on an FCA vehicle, a class-exclusive digital rearview mirror option is available to replace the traditional rearview mirror with a 9.2-inch wide LCD monitor.

The digital rearview mirror displays video in real time from a rear-facing camera and can be turned off to revert back to a traditional reflective mirror. The digital rearview mirror is available on all ProMaster models and provides an unobstructed rear view that enhances safety and prevents accidents while on the job.

Crosswind Assist is now standard equipment on all 2021 Ram ProMaster models and helps the driver keep the vehicle stable, even when wind gusts attempt to push the vehicle off course.

ProMaster now offers several available safety options, including Blind-spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path detection, Forward Collision Warning with Emergency Brake Assist and Ambient/Courtesy Lights.

Blind-spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path detection is an available option and warns the driver when vehicles enter ProMaster's blind spot. Available on ProMaster cargo vans, Blind-spot Monitoring enhances safety and lowers the total cost of ownership by avoiding collision repairs, downtime and increased insurance premiums.

Forward Collision Warning with Emergency Brake Assist is an available option and applies partial braking to mitigate the collision and to increase the driver's time to react to the impending collision. Available on all ProMaster models, Forward Collision Warning with Emergency Brake Assist reduces the total cost of ownership by avoiding collision repairs, downtime, lost productivity and revenue and reduces liability exposure.

Ambient/Courtesy Lights are available when packaged on all ProMaster models and enhances lower interior lighting with LEDs for customers who utilize ProMaster as a mobile office and for upfitters as well.

The 2021 Ram ProMaster is available in 18 different wheelbase and roof height configurations and features the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine paired with a proven six-speed automatic transmission. All ProMaster models come with a class-exclusive front-wheel-drive system.

ProMaster includes best-in-class features like standard V-6 power, turning radius, standard interior cargo height, load-floor height, cargo width between wheel wells and maximum cargo width.

2021 Ram ProMaster pricing will be announced closer to when the vehicle is available later this summer.

Ram ProMasterThe ProMaster is Ram Commercial's entry for the Class 2 full-size van segment. The 2020 Ram ProMaster full-size van benefits from an exclusive front-wheel-drive system, reducing weight and complexity by locating all components beneath the cab. This keeps the cargo-load-floor height and step-in height very low, which is a great ergonomic feature for the person getting in and out of the van all day. It also helps in low-traction surfaces, like snow, since there is always weight on the front wheels to provide traction. The result is a purpose-built, highly customizable van designed to exceed the demands of commercial customers and upfitters.

Ram Truck BrandIn 2009, theRamTruck brand launched as a stand-alone division, focused on meeting the demands of truck buyers and delivering benchmark-quality vehicles.
