Region Communications Inc. 7590 East 109th Avenue Winfield, IN 46307 PRSRT STD ECRWSS U.S. POSTAGE PAID Crown Point, IN PERMIT No. 811 POSTAL CUSTOMER Winfield Vol. 15, Issue 738 American Serving Winfield, Lakes of the Four Seasons, and Winfield Township since 2002 Single-family building permits up 14 percent Single-family building permits in Indiana increased 6% in June compared to the same time last year according to the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Permits decreased 2% in June over the previous month. “For the fifth straight month, single-family housing starts in Indiana have increased over the same time last year,” said Indiana Builders Association Chief Executive Officer Rick Wajda. “This steady climb indicates that the housing industry should continue to strengthen throughout the remainder of the year.” In June 2016, there were 1,394 single-family build- ing permits issued compared to 1,309 in 2015. The single family permit numbers for the first half of 2016 are up 14% compared to the first half of 2015. Builder confidence in the market for newly built, single-family homes in July fell one point to 59 from a June reading of 60 on the National Association of Home Builders-Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI). Any number over 50 indicates that more builders view conditions as good than poor. For the past six months, builder confidence has remained in a relatively narrow positive range that is consistent with the ongoing gradual housing recovery. The Wings of Freedom Tour of the WWII Vintage Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, Consolidated B-24 Liberator, North American B-25 Mitchell and North American P-51 Mustang Announce Unique Display in Valparaiso at Porter County Regional Airport from August 5 to August 7. The Collings Foundation’s Wings of Freedom Tour brings rare bomber and fighter aircraft for local living history display as part of 110- The Lake County Fair has arrived, and it is sharing the summer with a myriad of other local festivals and carnivals. It is important to remember that although amusement rides continue to be a thrill for Hoosiers of all ages, riders need to remain informed about ride safety. “If there is any concern over a ride’s safety, alert the ride operator and do not board the ride,” said John Erickson, Director of Public Information for the Indiana Department of Homeland Security. “When standing in line for a ride, look for any issues that could make the ride August 5, 2016 New park a win-win for the Town of Winfield and a local developer Late last year the Winfield Town Council announced that planning and work was to begin to develop the town’s first major park on Randolph Street, just north of Stonegate subdivision. The Town obtained 10 acres two years ago from Providence Real Estate Development and had worked the past several years gathering the cash, almost $350,000, to develop it without having to increase taxes. Many residents, along with Town Council members feel that a park is essential for the town’s long term quality of life. It will be a place for families and their kids to have fun and relax, and hold sporting events, concerts, and festivals similar to what was started in Crown Point years ago. The first phase will include the entrance, a parking lot, a playground, and a picnic pavilion with restrooms. In city nationwide tour. Participating in the Collings Foundation’s Wings Of Freedom Tour, the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress ‘Nine O Nine’ WWII Heavy Bomber, Consolidated B-24 Liberator ‘Witchcraft’ WWII Heavy Bomber, North American B-25 Mitchell ‘Tondelayo’ WWII Medium Bomber and P-51 Mustang ‘Betty Jane’, will fly into Porter County Regional Airport in Valparaiso for a visit. This is a rare opportunity to visit, explore, and learn more about these unique and rare treasures of aviation history. The B-17 is one of only eight in flying condition in the United States, the B-25 is best known for the Doolittle Raid, the B-24J and Dual Control P-51C Mustang are the sole remaining examples of their type flying in the World. Visitors are invited to explore the aircraft inside and out; a $12 donation for adults and $6 donation for children under 12 is requested for ac- cess to up-close viewing and tours through the inside of the aircraft. WWII Veterans can tour through the aircraft at no cost. Visitors may also experience the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to actually take a 30-minute flight aboard these rare aircraft. Flight experiences are a tax-deductible donation. Flights on either the B-17 or B-24 are $450 per person. B-25 flights are $400 per person. Get some (See Wings Pg. 2) unsafe.” Most amusement rides are safe, but Hoosiers should always observe a ride before boarding to ensure there are no broken parts, improper maintenance or operating problems. If a problem is noticed, express the safety concern to the ride’s operator. If there is still a concern after the ride operator has been alerted, it should be reported to the ride company’s management, then the venue. An inattentive ride operator should also be reported. If safety concerns remain unresolved or problems with multiple rides at a venue are noticed, Hoosiers should contact the state’s ride safety hotline at 1-888-203-5020 or e-mail [email protected]. Additional amusement ride safety tips from IDHS: • Read all posted rules and listen to instructions given by ride operators. • Watch the ride with children before boarding. Point out the operator and the entrance and exit locations prior to riding. Make sure children understand the instructions and warnings fully. • Obey minimum height, age and weight restrictions.

(Park from Pg. 1) Winfield received the necessary approvals to impose a fee on builders in Winfield to build a home in the town. The Town Council approved a park and recreation impact fee of $585.86. It will be collected at the time a building permit is received and the money will be used to pay for park amenities for residents. The new fee will be mandatory on all residential construction for the next five years. Recently the town’s plan to begin development of its 10-acre downtown park got a big win-win from a mutually beneficial deal with the developer of the subdivision that borders two sides of the park property. Said Town Council President Gerry Stiener, “The Town struck a deal with the developer of the subdivision for them to do most of the land balancing work for the Town in exchange for their being able to excavate their property. They will dig a large detention basin (for their subdivision) and the Town will get the fill. The detention basin will also have a walking trail around it connecting to the park. The developer agreed to do almost all the earthwork for the park. Truly a win-win for both parties.” Those who drive south of 117th Avenue down Randolph Street will see that Providence Development has started work on the 188-lot Providence at Stonegate subdivision, which will include an entrance from Randolph Street also serving as the main entrance to the park, complete with acceleration and deceleration lanes on Randolph that the town would have had to build if not for the agreement with Providence. Town officials estimated that this arrangement will save the town $300,000 to $350,000, which will enable the town to use the funds in park money it has saved over the years to do even more at the park. “While it did cause a delay in the project the money saved by the Town made it very worthwhile,” said Steiner. Winfield residents are now a major step closer to having a first class park. (Residents from Pg. 1) Never sneak children onto rides if they are too small or too young. • A smaller or younger child may not be physically or developmentally able to stay safely seated. • If children are unable to stay seated with hands and feet inside, don’t let them ride. • Keep all body parts (hands, arms, legs, long hair, etc.) inside the ride at all times. Keep long hair pulled up with a hat or hair tie. • Always use the safety equipment provided (seat belt, shoulder harness, lap bar, etc.). • Remain in the ride until it comes to a complete stop at the unloading point. If a ride stops temporarily due to mechanical failure or other reasons, stay seated and wait (Wings from Pg. 1) “stick time” in the world’s greatest fighter!

The telegraph was first developed by Samuel F. B. Morse, who conceived of the idea of the electric telegraph in 1832. Morse worked independently and by the mid-1830s had built a working telegraph instrument. In the late 1830s, he perfected Morse Code, a set of signals that could represent language in telegraph messages. Within a decade, more than 20,000 miles of telegraph cable crisscrossed the country. The rapid communication it made possible greatly aided American expansion, making railroad travel safer as it provided a boost to business conducted across the great distances of a growing United States. In 1854, Cyrus West Field conceived the idea of the telegraph cable and secured a charter to lay a well-insulated line across the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. On August 16, President James Buchanan and Queen Victoria exchanged formal introductory and complimentary messages. Unfortunately, the cable proved weak and the current insufficient and by the beginning of September had ceased functioning. In 1866, the British ship Great Eastern succeeded in laying the first permanent telegraph line across the Atlantic Ocean. Cyrus West Field was the object of much praise on both sides of the Atlantic for his persistence in accomplishing what many thought to be an impossible undertaking. www.history.com yours too?” asked Joan Vith, volunteer manager. Each day, volunteers assist in the delivery of more than 1,500 meals throughout Lake County. According to Vith, “volunteers help us meet our goal of providing proper nutrition to those in need throughout Lake County. We are recruiting new drivers to assist us in these communities as some of our drivers will be out of town during the fall and winter months.” Interested candidates will have an opportunity to tour the facility and ask questions about Meals on Wheels and the different volunteer opportunities we have available. If you would be interested in doing a “ride-along” be- fore committing to a volunteer position, call Vith at 219-756-3663, and a delivery route for you to “ridealong” will be set up to see if the timing works for you and your work schedule.
