The 22-point rack measured 23 inches outside diameter and 202 points non-typical.

Foundation seeks volunteers for community garden As Memorial Hospital Foundation begins a sec- ond year of its garden proj- ect, it is soliciting volunteers to help with tasks, including: planting, weeding, harvest- ing and delivering produce. Last year, the hospital planted about three-fourths of an acre at the Lodge, on South Newton Street; zuc- chini, corn and cantaloupe were among the homegrown produce served in the hos- pital café and on patient trays. This year, the proj- ect has expanded to a two- acre plot, with intentions of getting the produce to "food deserts" and food banks in several counties in the hos- pital's service area. According to the national nonprofit hunger-relief or- ganization Feeding Amer- ica, 10.8 percent of Dubois County's population was "food insecure" in 2013, the most recent year for which the statistics are available. That means more than 4,500 county residents had limit- ed or uncertain access to healthy and safe food. Feeding America num- bers for surrounding coun- ties include 12.6 percent (2,640 people) in Spencer County; 13.3 percent (1,700 people) in Pike County; 13.1 percent (1,350 people) in Martin County; and 12.5 percent (3,990 people) in Daviess County. Studies have shown that an increase in food insecuri- ty is followed by an increase in healthcare costs. Memorial Hospital Foun- dation's HOPE – Helping Others Produce Enthusi- asm – Garden not only will help meet food needs in the region but also is helping the hospital fulfill its mission to use the Lodge acreage to its fullest potential. The garden project also falls in line with the Catholic Health Associa- tion's 2010 call for hospitals to be involved with environ- mental sustainability and the ongoing requests of hos- pitals across the country to address the entire needs of the communities they serve. To get this year's gar- den started, schoolchildren planted over 2,000 vegeta- ble seeds in egg cartons in mid-March. Within the next few weeks, volunteer help will be needed to transplant those seedlings outdoors. High school agriculture classes as well as a local church's Wednesday night religion group already have stepped forward to volun- teer at the garden. Last year, YMCA day campers helped hoe, weed, and spread hay around the plants. Hospital representatives involved with the project are making a list of interested individuals, organizations, family groups, etc., to con- tact as garden work needs done from now into the fall. To volunteer, contact Me- morial Hospital Foundation Executive Director Mike Jones, who serves on the garden committee, at 812- 996 -8428 or at mjones@mh- hhc.org.
