WorldTeach speaker at library PDF Print E-mail

WEST MILTON - Former Union Township resident Norene (Harshbarger) Hogle will be visiting the West Milton area and will be presenting a program at the library about her experiences as a WorldTeach volunteer teacher in Namibia, Africa in 2009.

Upon her retirement from 31 years of teaching in modern schools in highly industrialized nations, this Milton-Union graduate (class of 1949) discovered a desire to reach out to children in Third World countries. Searching the internet, Norene learned of WorldTeach; a non-profit group that helps economically undeveloped countries obtain teachers for remote areas.  

Mrs. Hogle’s trip to Ondangwa, Namibia and surrounding towns provided her with the charming stories included in her book, "Are You Feeling a Little Finer, Miss Norene?" Whether reading of dealing with the flooding of her small apartment during the rainy season or of the “little beasties” that skittered around her walls, her readers will begin to understand the challenges of living in an alien land.  Namibia is located on the other side of the equator, making its seasons the reserve of ours. When reminiscing about 100 degree afternoon walks, tightly clutching her possessions to foil muggers, the author sweeps us into her exciting and enjoyable African adventures..

Join us Wednesday, May 16 at 6:30 p.m. and learn from Norene Hogle’s refusal to quit after suffering a broken knee cap and share the friendships she developed during her year abroad.  She will also have a book signing at the library on Saturday, May 19 from 9 a.m. till noon, and will bring books for purchase.

The library is located at 560 S. Main Street, West Milton and is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.  For more information on this or other library programs, please visit or call the library at 698-5515 or go to the website www.mupubliclibrary.org.

TIPP CITY - Members of the Tipp City Council, school board and township trustees met Monday night to discuss current plans and projects, including the upcoming school levy, road construction and the search for a new high school principal.

“One of the biggest things going on in our district, or any district (is) when you are hiring a new high school principal,” said Superintendent John Kronour, noting that Tippecanoe High School Principal Chuck Wray will be retiring at the end of October.

According to Kronour, the district received more than 50 applications for the position. Of those applicants, 13 were selected for an interview process that got under way Monday. The field will be further narrowed down to a group of four or five before those candidates will meet with teachers and parents.

“We’ll have staff committees as well as a parent group meet with them, give input to me, and I will make a recommendation to the board, and we’ll have that person ready to go by the beginning of next school year,” Kronour said.
