CHILDHOOD MEMORIES THEME OF MOTHER-DAUGHTER BQT The BCUMC annual Mother-Daughter banquet this year took place on

Thursday, May 12, 2016. The fun evening was organized by Retta Whiteaker,

Pat Sense, Trudy Germain and Michele Rauch. Thank you so much!

Tables were decorated sweetly with Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls, and

other childhood toys. (Thanks for the loan of the dolls, Retta!) Each lady

found a lollipop with their place setting. Another childhood reminder!

Eighty seven signed up to attend, and it was a large flock who enjoyed the

salad buffet. Be it tossed salad, 3 bean salad, taco salad, broccoli salad… they

were all delicious. Dessert was served by our waiters, with sherbet plated

beautifully with two Mexican wedding cakes.

The first part of our entertainment was a skit performed by Michele Roach

(and husband Fred as the voice of God). Michele discusses with God all the

hurts she has written down in several books over the years. When God tells

her to forgive and forget and let the past go, Michele asks: “What? These are

the memories that shaped my life!” God tells her, “my list could be pretty

long if I chose to keep one.” She answers “I guess it’s only fair, afterall, You

forgave me and threw away my list.” Michele throws away all her books

except one. Then God says, “Michele, ALL of them!” She picks up the big

book and we see on the side it says FRED (her real life hubby)! This brought

much laughter and applause!

Next up we were entertained by the musical talents of “Travelin’ Light”

(Doug & Elaine Latia). As they went through their set, we also got a little

lesson in music history. Doug quizzed the crowd after each song, asking who

sang it, and when it was recorded/released. We’re using Doug’s quiz here so

you can share in that evening. Travelin’ Light ended the evening with “On the

5

Road Again” (their theme song). Here is the set. Answer with who sang each

song, and the year. (answers on page 21)

1. Rollin’ on the River 2. Only You 3. Folsom Prison 4. All My Lovin’

5. Under the Boardwalk 6. Sittin’ on the Dock of the

Bay

7. Silver Wings

Many thanks to the men who helped this evening: Bill Miller, Fred Roach,

Logan Schumacher, Taylor Sims, Sam Stratton, Don Kidd, Derek Dewitt, and

Malcolm Miller. Thanks also to Bob Shepard for running sound. Thank you

also to Meijer and Texas Roadhouse for their contributions.

GETTING TO KNOW CCN (CANCER CARE NETWORK) The Buck Creek Ladies Missionary Society (LMS) made a new friend

when Administrative Director for CCN (Cancer Care Network), Telisa

Clevenger-Smith came to speak at our May meeting.

CCN’s mission is to support non-medical needs of area cancer patients in

collaboration with care providers and other community resources.

There are many who are not aware of CCN. It was started in 2007 by a

group of Lafayette physicians, to help their cancer patients minimize day to

day stresses of getting basic needs met. Services are free: client advocacy,

durable medical equipment (wheel chairs, walkers, etc.); fuel cards; limited

financial assistance (pre-qualify); transportation to/from cancer treatment.

CCN provides assistance in eleven Indiana counties (Benton, Carroll, Cass,

Clinton, Fountain, Jasper, Montgomery, Newton, Tippecanoe, Warren and

White). You do not have to be referred, as they serve anyone in cancer

treatment in the 11 counties. Another area is helping with food. CCN has a

pantry of donated groceries, paper goods, and basic cleaning supplies. They

stock shelf stable foods for simple and easy to prepare meals and keep the food

10

in date. Some food items needed are: pudding/Jell-o cups; peanut butter; jelly;

instant oatmeal packets; individual cups of cereal; poptarts; hamburger helper;

macaroni & cheese cups; soup; cans of tuna and chicken; and canned

vegetables. Donations of Ensure and Boost are also appreciated.

Other items: Paper products such as 4 count toilet paper (easier to lift), and

Depends; liquid hand soap; dish soap; deodorant; toothbrushes, toothpaste;

laundry detergent (preferred in smaller easy-to-lift containers).

CCN is developing a volunteer base in the community for plumbers and

other handymen, to help when repairs are needed in the patient’s home. If

CCN can’t do it, they will find somebody who can.

A wig salon at CNN in an intimate setting, provides a wide selection of

wigs, scarves and hats.

Telisa says, “we do whatever we can do to help them help themselves.”

The BCUMC Sew & Sews have donated scarves and other items they have

made to CCN for the past few years, and Telisa thanked those Sew & Sews

who were also part of Ladies Missionary. The ladies brought several items

this evening for the CCN pantry, and those were presented to Telisa.

If you wish to donate items to CCN, please place them in the large wooden

cabinet in the church dining area. CCN is located at 3900 McCarty Lane,

Lafayette, Indiana. If you wish to be added to their volunteer list, their phone

is 765-446-5464.

CCN is called CARE for a reason: they CARE very, very much!

ANIMAL FARM READING: ***** (five stars) The stage reading of the fable

“Animal Farm” at BCUMC the

weekend of April 22-24,was

delightful. It had been more years

than I’d care to remember, since

reading Animal Farm in high

school. I looked forward to seeing

it again, the live version, not just

reading it myself, but being read to.

As Director Ralph Rohrer said, “A

stage reading is reading a story to

you, like a parent to children.

Visualize the action in your mind,

close your eyes, and listen… but

don’t fall asleep!”

All the Chancel Players were

excellent, each with their own

special talent: animal noises,

accents, facial expressions, singing,

movements… Talent was

abundant in front of us as we

watched and listened. The

audience was riveted! The piano

accompaniment by Peg Black was

perfection. Thanks to Bob Shepard

for running sound and projector.

I didn’t recall the ending to the

story. So, at intermission, waiting

on the conclusion while others

dined on punch and cookies in the

fellowship hall, I racked my brain

searching for the tale’s end. It was

very thought provoking when the

ending was revealed to us by this

talented group. I won’t reveal the

ending, you’ll have to read the

book!

Players left to right in the photo: Kathleen Coffee, Kevin Doer (yes he was

a local news anchor), Nathan Bechtold, Bonnie Shoaf (former pastor at

BCUMC), Tim Fox, Ralph Rohrer (BCUMC’s own), and Thea Strand. Thank

you all for a very entertaining adventure!

12

A free-will offering dinner was held on the evening of April 23 before the

performance, and it was well attended. Retta Whiteaker’s table decorations

were so creative! Funds raised may be used to buy items for the church

kitchen.

A THANK YOU To the good people of Buck Creek United Methodist Church,

Thank you, thank you, and thank you. Thank you for permitting Chancel

Players to present the stage reading of Animal Farm in your sanctuary on April

22, 23, and 24.

Thank you for helping to publicize the show by distributing posters and

spreading the word.

Thank you for partnering with the show to organize and prepare a delicious

dinner on Saturday. Special thanks to Jane Arnold and all the women who

were culinary stars that night.

Thank you for attending the show. You helped create a wonderful and

appreciative audience that brought out the best efforts of the cast.

Chancel Players of Lafayette had a delightful time at Buck Creek.

Sincerely,

-Ralph Rohrer

President, Chancel Players of Lafayette

MEMORY GARDEN & THE 3 CROSSES UPGRADE PLAN Plans are underway to refresh the Memory Garden and replace the three

crosses (planted around 1991) which have suffered damage from Mother

Nature.

Thanks to all those who stayed after first service on May

15 to discuss future plans for the memory garden and

Crosses. There were lots of ideas thrown in and we will be

using several of them. Most everyone agreed we need a plan

that requires little if any maintenance. That being said, it

was decided to have a mound covered with rubber mulch

around the crosses in the center of the memory garden. The new crosses will

be made from treated lumber and this fall we will plant spring flower bulbs in

the mound. We are also planning on having lighting on the crosses at night.

The rest of the area will be cement. We plan to use old shingles covered with

gravel under the handicap ramp and to add lattice to the inside side of the

handicap ramp. The cement will have a lip around the mound to help keep the

mulch and dirt in the mound. The cement will be on a slight slope to

encourage water drainage away from the Church. Jake Uerkwitz will be

laying out the plans for the mound and cement work and getting us an

estimate. Once Jake has some estimates and a plan we will meet again.

Later on there will be a sign-up sheet to donate Spring flower bulbs for

the garden (daffodils, narcissus, jonquil, tulip, hyacinth…).

FIVE QUESTIONS! This month our first interview is with Richard Knight of our local pizza place,

“The Creek”.

1. The corner building has been the

home to many businesses in the past.

What led to the creation of “The

Creek”?

My partner/fiance is owner of the

building these past 4 years.

Unfortunately those previous businesses

were unable to sustain themselves. After

the last person couldn't even get the

place open, even after paying a deposit

and first months rent. It was then that we

decided that we better open a restaurant ourselves...that way we would at least

know that the rent would be paid each month. LOL

On a side note: Pam and I are both life long restaurateurs and were kinda

excited at the prospect of re-establishing a decades old tradition in Buck

Creek. We have pictures of people eating in this location since the early

1940's! Generously provided by the local town historian Peggy Eckhart. (not

sure of the spelling!)

We have a weekly customer, Alberta Huffman who graduated in 1944 from

Buck Creek High School! She vividly remembers eating in our place as early

as 1941 with her dad and grandpa.

Pam came up with the idea of 'The Creek' name and its decor from a story her

dad told her on the origin of the towns name. He told her that he had been told

that waaaay back when the area had been a place for miners or 'panners'. It was

said that at the very least, each day you could at least make a 'buck' panning in

the creek! Hence the name...buck creek.

2. How many employees (names) do you have and what are their duties?

Currently we have 10 employees...they have all requested I not use their

names...they tend to be a bit shy! lol 2 of our employees actually live in town

and the rest in the surrounding area.

3. Concerning the menu items, what do The Creek’s employees think is

the most popular item on the menu, and also the most unique?

19

Concerning the employees...their favorites are the breadsticks and the BBQ

Chicken Pizza. Concerning the most popular items based on customer tastes

are: Farmers Delight Pizza and then the BBQ Chicken Pizza. Our Breadsticks

are by far our most popular Lure (appetizer) followed by the Bobbers. Bobbers

are an Italian Meatball and mozzarella cheese wrapped in our breadstick

dough and then baked to perfection. Smothered in our garlic butter and then

we flavor it with our 'fairy dust' (parmesan cheese and special spices!!)

4. What geographical areas does The Creek deliver to?

We deliver to Edna Mills down 26 to I-65...up from Edna Mills thru Pyrmont,

Owasco, Ockley, Radnor and up to Delphi. Down thru Battleground all the

way out to State Road 43. We also cover down 25 to US 52 and Schuyler

Avenue. Its really a pretty big area.

We deliver throughout all of Lafayette to businesses. We have brought some

very large orders to SIA...Wabash...Kirby Risk and many others.

5. We are so glad to have a food venue in Buck Creek again. What do you

like most about running a business in the Buck Creek community?

What appeals to us is the ability to be part of the fabric of a community. Its

businesses such as our that truly give to the community. Go to any Baseball

Field in the summer time and look at the Sponsors banners...its always the

individual, local business. Not McDonalds...not the national chains...its guys

like us!

I also love being able to get to know our customers as friends...to be able to

watch their kids grow up and become adults.

Lastly...As I said earlier, Pam and I have been doing this a very long time. I

made my first pizza in 1977! Pizza has always been my first love.

Regards,

Richard Knight

FIVE QUESTIONS! Our second interview this month is with Beverly Reed (right in photo), and

how she found her way to Buck Creek UMC through her good friend and

neighbor Mary Ellen Davidson (left in photo). Let’s find out the story…

1. Where were you born and raised, and attend school?

I was born in Lafayette and lived here all my life except I started first grade in

Buck Creek till 3rd grade then came back to Lafayette and attended Tippecanoe

elementary and Jefferson High School.

2. How did you and Mary Ellen become friends?

When Mary Ellen and her hubby moved in FH (Friendship House) in 2011 we

bonded immediately ad she welcome me into her family of wonderful people

and a wonderful church family.

3. We enjoy having you worship with us at BCUMC. What is your

favorite part of church?

I can’t pick a favorite part, I love it all: the fellowship, the music and the

powerful preaching.

4. If you could be any person in the Bible for a week, who would you be

and why?

Ruth, because of her dedication to the Lord and her Mother-in-law.

5. What is the best gift you’ve ever received?

The best gift I ever received is not a material gift, it’s the gift of Jesus

becoming my Lord and Savior.

21

OUR HOOSIER FLAG HISTORY The Indiana state flag was once known as Indiana’s banner. It was adopted

by the General Assembly on May 31, 1917. As part of Indiana’s centennial

celebration, a flag design contest was held. Paul Hadley of Mooresville,

Indiana won with his design.

Every fourth grader should know these facts: that the torch in the middle

stands for liberty and enlightenment. The rays represent their far reaching

influence. There are 19 stars on the flag. The outer circle of 13 stars represent

the original thirteen states. The inner semi-circle of five stars stand for the

next five states admitted to the Union. The large star, the nineteenth, is for

Indiana, as we are the 19th state.

One thing was added to Hadley’s design by the General Assembly, the

word INDIANA over the top of the torch.
