Coming to Amber Manor was a very easy decision for me. I enjoy all of the activities and I've made many new friends. I love my home at Amber Manor!" – Norma Jean Hawkins, Resident High school grad connects with her kindergarten years By James Capozella Keeley Cayenne Schell is a 2017 Pike Central grad who can actually relive her kindergarten time because her grand- mother, Judy Schell, planted Bachelor Button flower seeds some 14 years ago. The seeds were part of a fundraiser in Mrs. Carol Fisher's class and has been a part of her grandmother's landscape ev- er since. The flowers have bloomed in vi- olet, pink and white every year after the initial planting, according to Schell, but have spread across the bank in front of the house on SR 57 north. Keeley, a National Honor Society mem- ber for two years and part-time manag- er at Maurice's in Jasper, will be attend- ing Vincennes University Jasper Cam- pus ( VUJC) this fall and continues to be a teacher with Stacy's Studio of Dance in Petersburg. She is the soon-to-be 19 -year- old daughter of Shawna and Brandon Schell, of Petersburg. She was also a part of the Pike Central Dance team, and has worked while attending class and partic- ipating in dance. Judy Schell is not sure how long the flowers will return, but it has been 14 years since the seeds were purchased during the school fundraiser when Keeley was first starting her education at the age of five. Keeley will get her college education started at VUJC and then transfer to the main Vincennes University campus for ra- diology. Bachelor Button flowers in violet, pink and white have been blooming in Judy Shell's yard ever since granddaughter Keeley Cayenne Schell was in kindergarten. Judy bought the seeds as part of a fundraiser when Keeley was in Mrs. Carol Fisher's kindergarten class. During the 14 or so years, the flowers have bloomed every year for the soon-to-be 19-year-old 2017 Pike Central grad. James Capozella photo Five tips for safer grilling Memorial Day weekend kicked off the summer and nothing says summer bet- ter than grilling. Every year, millions of Americans safe- ly enjoy outdoor barbecues, but accidents do happen. Roughly 8,800 grill fires happen every year causing $ 96 million in property dam- age and 16,900 emergency room visits. The majority of grill fires are caused by mal- functioning gas grills. In ad- dition, thousands of people visit emergency rooms ev- ery year because they have burned themselves while barbecuing. Gas Grills ac- counted for 82 percent of grilling accidents. • Check the gas lines— the leading cause of gas grill fires is a fuel line leak or break. Inspect the line for cracking, sharp bends or brittleness. Rub soapy water on the line and look for bub- bling to test for leaks. • Grill in well-ventilated areas—Never grill inside a home, tent, vehicle or camp- er where carbon monoxide can't escape and make you sick or worse kill you. • Use combustibles cau- tiously—18 percent of grill fires result from a grill be- ing too close to combus- tibles. Keep lighter fluids capped and a safe distance away from the grill. Never add lighter fluid to hot coals and never use gasoline or kerosene as a starter fluid. • Clean your grill—Clean grates and grease pans to prevent flare-ups. Wait 48 hours before disposing of charcoal ashes. • Create a safe zone— Children under five account- ed for 37 percent of emer- gency room visits for contact burns caused by grills. Grill at least 10 feet away from a building.
