By David Ackley 4-H Youth Development/ Ag and Natural Resources Educator Junior Leaders is a club for 4-H members in grades 7-12. The club can be involved in lots of different areas of the 4-H program at the local club, county, area and state levels. 4-H Ju- nior Leaders is a great way to have fun while learning leadership skills and life skills that are important to be ef- fective leaders of themselves and of groups. This club focuses on the develop- ment of leadership skills, as well as service, learning and fellowship. The Junior Leader Club is run by the youth members. They are in charge and will make decisions on what the club will do and participate in. The ac- tivities the club participates in are on- ly limited by the imaginations of the members. The club participates in education- al activities, community service, as well as fun events and trips. Some ex- amples of what other clubs in the ar- ea have participated in are the Mil- lion Pillow Case Challenge, Science at Holiday World, Military Care Pack- ages, Blanket Donations, Laser Tag Trip, Sky Zone Trip, State Junior Lead- er Conference, Game Night at Local Nursing Homes, and many others. Junior Leaders are encouraged to attend state conferences and work- shops, especially the State 4-H Junior Leader Conference at the University of Indianapolis and the Indiana 4-H Youth Congress at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. So let us close with a few questions: • Are you or do you know someone between 7th and 12th grade? • Do you like working with your peers to build leadership skills? • Are you looking for an organiza- tion that you could be a leader in? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then the Junior Leader club of Pike County might just be for you. The best way to find out more about Junior Leaders is to attend a meeting. Not a current 4-H member? That's okay, come and check out the Junior Leader Club anyway. For any questions related to Junior Leaders, contact the Pike County Ex- tension office at 812-354-6838 or ack- leyd@purdue.edu. Meetings, as well as locations, will be available through the Pike County Extension Office. The next meeting is scheduled for April 18 at 5:30 p.m. in the 4-H Build- ing.

Monroe City Alumni awards Tromley 'Elmer Downey Award' On Saturday, April 6, the Monroe City High School Alumni Associa- tion had its annual meeting, where the Resolution Committee presented the 2019 Elmer Downey Memorial Distin- guished Alumnus Award to Naomi Jo (Small) Tromley, of Vincennes. Tromley was a graduate of the Monroe City Class of 1952. She is the daughter of the late Kale Small and the late Josie Small. She also had a brother, Bob, and sister, Nancy, both of whom are deceased. She was able to finish her schooling only after her family moved away and she lived with friends to graduate with her class- mates. A fter graduation, she mar- ried Marlan L. Tromley, who was in the service. She then continued her education at Vincennes University, Purdue Univer- sity and completed a Federal Training Program. During a three-year stay in France, their son, J. Bruce, was born in 1957. In 1963, she went to work at Vincennes University in the Entomol- ogy Research Department of Agricul- ture as a Biology Lab Technician for the U.S.A. S.E.A. A.R. She also taught in the Entomology Lab for three years under Dr. David Reel. She has re- searched and published eight papers for the American Entomology Societ- ies and the Indiana Entomology Soci- eties. She also contributed two chap- ters, in a handbook, for grad students in genetics, zoology and biology, to help in their graduate studies. A fter 22 years at Vincennes Univer- sity, she was employed at a local well- known restaurant as a bookkeeper and assistant manager. In 1992, she worked at the Indianapolis Stress Cen- ter for teens and St. Vincent Hospi- tal in the Hospice Dept. In 1998, she was employed at the Bicknell Country Club Pro Shop as manager and book- keeper. Grants from Land and Water Conservation Fund available Applications are now being accept- ed for matching grants from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which recently became permanently reautho- rized. The LWCF provides up to $250,000 in matching grant assistance for land acquisition and development of outdoor recreation facilities for public parks. Examples of eligible LWCF facilities in- clude trails, playgrounds, picnic areas, splash pads, ballfields/courts, camp- grounds, canoe/kayak launches, nat- ural areas and nature centers, as well as support facilities (e.g., restrooms, parking, etc.). In 2018, the DNR Division of Out- door Recreation received LWCF appli- cations for 13 local park projects and anticipates funding each of these proj- ects, along with two State projects. To- tal grant funding for these projects will exceed $ 3.1 million. Grant funding for 2019 is expected to remain at this level. All facilities developed with LWCF assistance must be accessible to per- sons with disabilities. In addition, all land acquired or developed with LW- CF funds must always remain in out- door recreation use. To be eligible for LWCF funding, park and recreation boards must have a current five-year parks and recre- ation master plan on file with the Di- vision of Outdoor Recreation. Applica- tions for the 2019 LWCF grant round are due June 1. Applicants are strongly encouraged to discuss potential projects with the Division of Outdoor Recreation before submitting an application. The LWCF manual online provides guidelines and the application. For more information about the LW- CF program, including a link to the LW- CF manual, see dnr.IN.gov/4071.htm.
