On Jan. 1, 2015, the Indi-ana Municipal Power Agen-cy (IMPA) is anticipated to change its Energy Cost Ad-justment rates charged to its members.

The City of Rising Sun will increase its schedule of rates for electricity sold to reflect the change in the cost of power purchased from the Indiana Municipal Power Agency (IMPA) together with the reconciliation of electric costs and revenues from prior periods.

This increase of ap-proximately 3.014 mills ($0.003014) per kilowatt hour will be applied to all bills of the next practical consumption period follow-ing the date of such approval or for the next practical con-sumption period following the effective date of change in the cost of purchased firm power, whichever is later. This amounts to an increase of $3.01 for every 1,000 kilowatt hours consumed. Assuming a typical or aver-age residential monthly bill is for approximately 700 kilowatt hours consumption,

this increase will amount to $2.11 per month. This in-crease, stated as a percent of the total monthly bill, will vary from individual to in-dividual depending on what retail rate the consumer is served by.

A new strategic alliance with Ivy Tech Corporate College, Indiana Soybean Alliance and Indiana Corn Marketing Council has produced a new Next Generation Farming course, a 21-week, online course and comprehensive curriculum de-signed to serve as a foundation for a successful career in livestock, poultry and agricultural operations.

Today’s farms require a combi-nation of skilled labor, technolo-gy-focus, business acumen, equip-ment knowledge, as well as, facil-ity, animal and feed management

and logistics to make them work profitably. The new Indiana Animal Agriculture Certificate, the most comprehensive and only livestock and aquaculture certificate program available, will begin on Jan. 19, 2015. Scholarships are available from the soybean and corn check-off organizations.

“Farmers will benefit from the course by helping the next gen-eration prepare for a more reward-ing career and assure an enduring legacy. Employers will be rewarded with better employees who under-

stand the big picture, contribute more effectively and will stay on the job longer,” said Indiana Corn Mar-keting Council Director of Live-stock Andy Tauer.

The seven-module course con-sists of presentations, discussions, activities and exams, all designed to upgrade the participant’s contribu-tion, responsibilities, commitments, and overall value. Topics of training will also include labor management practices and how to write a busi-ness plan.

Additional modules will familiar-

ize the student with how to write a contract and the role of various regulatory agencies, animal nutri-tion, husbandry and waste manage-ment, biosecurity and a guided on-site facilities visit, plus the required information needed to pass the Indi-ana category 14 fertilizer/applicator certification exam.

“Together, the curriculum, mate-rials and guidance are all designed to better attain a path to success that benefits the worker, farmer, owner and ultimately the community and state. The timing is right, the price

is right and the value will start this year as the skills learned are ap-plicable right away,” said Ivy Tech Corporate College Lead Program Manager Mike Pickrell.

For more information or to register for the Ivy Tech Next Generation Farming program, visit www.ivytech.edu/corporatecollege/agriculture/. The registration deadline is Jan. 16, 2015. Cost is $2,187.50 per person. A limited number of scholarships are available. To see if you qualify, visit www.indianasoybean.com/livestock or www.incorn.org/livestock

RECORDER THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2012 PAGE 3

When Aurora’s Luther Rice retired from the U.S. Marines, he didn’t quit serving his com-munity.

After a career of teaching and supervising vocational edu-cation, he became a city judge, helped found a Korean War veterans chap-ter, and as part of that group started recog-nizing other veterans for their service.

Rice, 84, who served one tour of duty in Korea and two in Vietnam, now faces another challenge. He has been di-agnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS,) better known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

“There’s not much they can do for it. There’s no cure for ALS,” said Rice, explaining ALS is a fatal disease. Definitively diagnosed at the Veterans Ad-ministration hospital in Cleve-land in October, Rice has resided at Ridgewood Health Campus, Lawrenceburg, ever since.

The 6-foot, 2-inch Marine was “born and raised in Au-rora,” playing basketball for the Aurora Red Devils before he graduated from Aurora High School in 1948. Several factors led him to enlist in the Marines after graduation: he wasn’t col-lege material, he didn’t have any money, and his cousin Bill Davis had served in the Ma-rines in World War I, said Rice.

“It was just something I’d al-ways wanted to do,” said Rice, who wasn’t quite 17 ½ when he enlisted that June. First sent to Paris Island for 10 weeks, he next went to Sea School at Portland, Va., for four weeks indoctrination, then served on the battleship USS Missis-sippi for 2 ½ years.

“You start out, you’re security for the ship. … Eventually I became what they call the captain’s or-derly,” said Rice. He next spent three months in the Marine Bar-racks at Nor-folk, Va., from where he was transferred to the Marine Air Reserve at Jackson, Fla., for six months.

At that point, any enlisted serviceman who had less than a year to go found his enlist-ment extended for a year, said Rice. He was just four days short when that year had been added, thanks to the start of the Korean War June 25, 1950.

Volunteered for Korea“Then I volunteered a year

to go to Korea,” said Rice. “... I didn’t have a job so I signed up for two more years.” That brought his time in the Marines up to five years.

Rice arrived in Korea in April 1952 with the 20th replacement draft, and was stationed with the K-3 unit, he said.

“I really wasn’t a frontline Marine, I was more in a sup-

port position,” said Rice, ex-plaining he di-rected aircraft. The unit had a counter mor-tar unit which used radar to backtrack a mortar round in flight to its origin. Then his unit could call in that position to be fired upon, he explained.

After 13 months, Rice re-turned to the United States and was assigned to Marine Corps Air Station, Miami, Fla., where he remained until January 1955 with his new wife, Barbara Nehls, a Lawrenceburg native. Rice had met her casually some time before, then invited her to a picnic at Versailles at the late Bobby Laker’s suggestion. The couple married in August 1953, and from then on, she accompanied him to all but his overseas assignments.

From Miami, Luther Rice was transferred to electron-ics school at Treasure Island, Calif., for an 18-week course, followed by a 28-week course as a radar technician at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego, Calif., said Rice. He then spent a year as a radar technician at the Naval Air Sta-tion in Atsugi, Japan, a year his wife spent with her family in Lawrenceburg.

Back to the States in 1957, Rice was promoted to techni-cal sergeant after his transfer to the Marine Corps Air Station

in El Toro, Calif. From there he was t r a n s f e r r e d back to the Marine Depot in San Diego for another 28 weeks of radar t e c h n i c i a n training, then transferred to the Marine Corps Air Fa-cility at Blue River, N.C., as part of a research and development group.

“We were dealing with test-ing incoming radar sets for the Marine Corps,” to make sure they met the Marines’ quali-fications and requirements, he said. From there, Rice was transferred to the Marine Air Corps State at Kaneohe, Ha-waii, where he and his wife spent the next 18 months.

“The radar set we were test-ing was approved for produc-tion,” said Luther Rice. In June

1963, he was sent to the Marine Corps Base at Quantico, Va., and in October 1965, he went to Vietnam. He was part of the Ground Control Approach Squadron at Chu Lai, stay-ing till Septem-ber 1966.

“1965 is when the troops started mov-ing in, when the big build-up started,” said Rice. He served in GCAS as a radar technician, then, promoted to lieutenant, became a main-tenance officer supervising the maintenance work.

An officer now“From that point on, I was

an officer,” said Rice. Trans-ferred to the Naval Air Sta-tion in Gross Isle, Mich., Rice stayed until January 1968 when he was again sent to Quantico for a 28-week communications officer course.

“I was changing from radar officer to communications offi-cer,” said Rice. In fall of 1968, he was transferred back to Ma-rine depot in San Diego where he became the assistant direc-tor of the Marine Corps Basic Crime School.

“We had like 1,500 students there at one time,” said Rice, who continued the work until January 1970. “By this time I was a captain,” he added. He then was assigned back to Vietnam as a communications and electronics officer for the First Marine Division, staying until January 1971.

He finished his military ca-reer as the course officer for the radar section at 29 Palms, Calif., Marine Corps Base, re-tiring June 30, 1971, with the rank of captain.

Highlight of his career was being stationed with his family at the various places around the country and getting to see and do a lot, said Rice. Hardest?

“You come home from work and you say, ‘I’m leaving for a year,’” he said.

Korea vs. VietnamOn Rice’s second tour of

duty in Vietnam, “some of the standdown was starting, start-ing to withdraw the troops from Vietnam. … There was a lot of fighting still going on,” he said.

There were major differenc-es between the fighting there and what occurred in Korea, said Rice.

“In Korea, you actually had well-drawn lines of battle. In Vietnam it was not that way,” said Rice. Fighting happened “all over” in Vietnam, with the enemy’s location unpredict-able. “You’d find them here, you’d find them there,” he said.

“... They’d take a tree stump and hollow it out and use it as a launch pad. … You’d hear them coming but not know where they were going. … As long as you could hear it, you knew you were all right,” said Rice.

Returning home, Rice did not face any of the hostile re-ception other Vietnam vets

have recounted.“I never experienced any of

the things people say they ex-perienced, people calling you baby killer, spitting on you.

I never expe-rienced any of that,” he said.

Awarded 14 medals, Rice said, “To me, it was just doing your duty.” The awards include the Presidential Unit Citation for the First Marine Divi-sion, one each

for Korea and Vietnam.Higher ups had recognized

what the unit did in a combat environment, “especially when things were hot and heavy,” said Rice.

His other awards include the bronze star with a V for valor; the USMC achievement medal, a combat action ribbon, a Ma-rine unit commendation medal, a meritorious unit citation, a Marine Crops good conduct medal with 2 bronze stars, the national defense medal, the Korean service medal with two bronze stars, the Vietnam ser-vice medal with four bronze stars, the RVN gallantry cross with palm medal, the Korean presidential unit citation, the United Nations Korean service medal, the Vietnam campaign medal, a rifle expert badge and a pistol sharpshooter badge.

Throughout his service, Rice never thought of being killed, he said.

“If I’d thought I was going to get killed, I wouldn’t have went,” he said.Back home in Aurora

After his return to Aurora, Rice got a job teaching elec-tronics at the Versailles Vo-cational School, which later became the Southeastern Ca-reer Center. He attended night and summer school at Indi-ana State Uni-versity, earning his bachelor’s degree in 1977 and a masters in k-12 education in 1978.

He then be-came principal of the vocational school at Con-nersville from 1979 to 1983, before returning to Versailles vo-cational school as a teacher. In 1988, he became principal at Ver-sailles Vocation-al School, retir-ing in 1992. There he would challenge students to pick their best class member to arm wres-tle; Rice never lost.

Meanwhile, in 1991 he filed to run for Aurora City Court judge and was appointed to

the position by Gov. Evan Bayh that April after then-judge Ralph Cleeter died. Rice won the election, and retired as judge in August 1997.

In the inter-vening years, Rice helped found the Ko-rean War Vet-erans of Amer-ica Chapter 4 in the mid-1990s, spend-ing most of its existence as its commander.

“ L u t h e r ’s the one who built it; it was going no place, and Luther got it going,” said PG Gentrup, Ohio County Veterans Ser-vice Officer.

J.D. Lar-gent, now c o m m a n d e r of the Korean War Veter-ans chapter, agreed.

“He’s kept it alive for one thing; he origi-nated it years ago. There wasn’t any money there and he just saw to it that we had bucket drives,” said Largent. “I have a lot of respect for him.”

Gentrup said Rice built the honor guard up to what it is today. “We’ll have 20 to 30 to say that final tribute to a de-parted veteran,” said Gentrup.

In addition to Korean War veterans, those participating in the honor guard at funerals include a few veterans from the Aurora and Moores Hill American Legion posts, sever-al Vietnam veterans and one or

two veterans from the Au-rora Veterans of Foreign Wars post, said Gentrup.

“That’s all due to Lu-ther’s lead-ership,” said Gentrup.

“We have m e m b e r s who are 80 years old and they come to every fu-neral he puts the call out for,” said Bob Karp, a

Korean War veteran. “He’s the magnet to everyone. They know him, they grew up with him, they served with him. He holds a very tight rein on them.”

About six or seven years ago, the chapter started a pro-

gram that ended up in Rice’s hands.

“My peers a p p r o a c h e d me one time and thought it would be good if we recognize these veterans at these festi-vals we have in the sum-mer,” starting with World War II veter-ans, said Rice. “.... Some-body had to take charge of finding these people. When everybody else bowed out, it ended up with me. And these guys really ap-preciate it.”

But Rice’s “prime ac-complishment” was getting the black marble podium for River View Cemetery, said Karp.

The podium, which displays the POW-MIA logo on the front and Ko-rean War sta-tistics on the

back, was purchased by the Korean War Veterans chapter and installed in the veterans circle in late 2013.

“I’m very proud of getting that job done,” said Rice.

The chapter also purchased and placed a Korean War veter-ans memorial at Lesko Park in Aurora earlier that year.

Rice and his wife have three children, Nancy Anne (Kenny) Ray, Ft. Mitchell, Ky.; Rox-anne Marie (John) Denton, Miamisburg, Ohio; and Luther Howard (Janice) Rice, Zions-ville, Ind.; six grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. One grandson, Lt. Justin Ray, United States Navy Reserves, served recently in Afghanistan.

In May 2010, Rice was one of the veterans chosen to place a wreath at the veterans memorial in Washington, D.C., during a honor flight, said Gentrup.

“He got to walk on that hallowed ground and set that wreath,” one of four Korean War veterans who did so that day, said Gentrup. Rice said not very many people get to do that.

The City of Rising Sun applied to the Indiana Hous-ing and Community Development Authorityʼs (IH-CDA) Blight Elimination Program (BEP). We re -ceived an award of $161,000.00. Working in con -junction with the Rising Sun Redevelopment Com-mission and the Ohio County Economic Develop-ment Corporation, we intend to acquire and demol-ish the following residential structures locatedwithin the two sites the Redevelopment Commis-sion has identified for a new housing program: 1162nd St., 112 2nd St., 111 2nd St., 127 S. Poplar St.,311 N. Poplar St., 313 N. Poplar St. and 203 6thStreet. The goal of the BEP Program is to reduce the num-ber of blighted and abandoned homes in our com-munity and neighborhoods. We believe the acquisi-tion and demolition of these structures will stabilizeneighborhood property values, prevent avoidableforeclosures and assist us in our efforts to keep ourcommunity and neighborhoods safe. We invite youto attend a public hearing on Wednesday, January28, 2015 at 2 pm in City Hall on 200 N. Walnut St.The purpose of the hearing is to discuss the posi-tive impact this program will have on our commu-nity.

The Ohio County Re-publican Party held a cau-cus on Saturday, Dec. 6 to make a pair of appoint-

ments.Dennis Williams was

selected to replace Gary Kinnett as district 4 city

councilman as of Jan. 1. Kinnett recently won elec-tion to the Rising Sun Ohio County School Board and

was not eligible to serve both elected positions.

Jamie Stegemiller was selected to take the place of

Annie Jo Jackson as coun-ty clerk. Jackson has been named sheriff matron by newly elected sheriff Glen Potts,

All officials will be sworn in on Jan. 1 in the Ohio County Courthouse.

A Dearborn County Hospital Pharmacist who helped the DCH Pharmacy streamline one of its medication distribution programs is getting national recognition for her efforts.

Jennifer Copple, Pharm. D., (Doctorate of Pharmacy) designed and then helped implement a pro-cess for DCH’s drug storage and medication management system. The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) has asked her to present her pilot proj-ect at the ASHP Clinical Midyear Meeting this December in Ana-heim, California.

Dr. Copple was one of 34 phar-macists from across the country selected to attend the ASHP Phar-macy Leadership Institute (PLI) last spring at the Boston Univer-sity School of Management. The Institute is designed to develop inspirational pharmacy leaders,

energize cli-nicians and m a n a g e r s with new i n s i g h t s , and equip participants for the roles of lead-er, coach, teacher, mo-tivator and strategist.

F o l l o w -ing the leadership t r a i n i n g , Dr. Copple had to de-velop and implement a capstone project that demonstrat-ed benefits

to the hos-pital, the p r ac t i c e s of the DCH Pharmacy and other healthcare providers, as well as DCH pa-tients.

T h e focus of the project, e n t i t l e d “Pharmacy P r a c t i c e M o d e l Initiative: B u i l d i n g a Founda-tion,” was to stream-line medi-c a t i o n

distribution while expanding the use of technology. The project improved pharmacy and nursing satisfaction and provided signifi-cant patient safety benefits.

“Our intent was to maximize the hospital’s current technology while lessening the steps and time required for the current distri-bution process,” Dr. Copple ex-plained.

Taking the project hospital wide will allow further improvement of patient safety, as well as to pro-vide more time for the pharmacy staff to offer additional services. The development of new roles for Pharmacy Technicians and Phar-macists will allow them to better serve both patients and other DCH healthcare professionals.

The participants of the Pharma-cy Leadership Institute submitted their completed projects to Boston University, where they were eval-

uated by ASHP and BU staff to determine a top project. Each was evaluated on design, significance, ability to quantify results, overall clarity and organization.

Dr. Copple’s project “Pharmacy Practice Model Initiative: Build-ing a Foundation” was selected as the best project submitted by the PLI Class of 2014.

Originally from Madison, Ind., Dr. Copple now lives in Fort Mitchell, Ky. She’s been em-ployed at DCH for four years. She has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Chemistry from Hanover College and her Doctorate in Pharmacy from the University of Cincinnati.

The Pharmacy Leadership Insti-tute is presented yearly at Boston University. The application pro-cess includes writing numerous essays. Participants attend lec-tures and seminars by the School of Management’s faculty.
