Petersburg Mayor R. C. Klipsch said this is one of the biggest opportunities Pike County has ever had. "Certainly since IPL announced they were com- ing here," said Klipsch. He said what makes it such a great opportunity is that Mandabach will be traveling with Governor Holcomb and his team. Klipsch has attended events with the Consul General to the Midwest of America and, along with Mandabach, participated in giving Consul General Toshiyuki Iwado a tour of Pike County in 2015. Klipsch said he has been told going to Japan and building relation- ships is vital to attracting Japanese in- vestment. "To be included in this trip is a wonderful thing." "The timing is just right. You are trying to build relationships when you get to go with the governor. It can't get much better," said Klipsch. Indiana's delegation will be depart- ing on Sept. 7 and returning on Sept. 15. The Governor will travel to Tokyo, Nagoya and Tochigi Prefecture, Indi- ana's sister-state. During the trip, he will meet with Japanese government officials, national business chambers and executives of Japanese companies with operations in Indiana, including Subaru, Toyota and Honda. The Gover- nor will also participate in the Midwest U.S.-Japan Association Conference, an annual meeting to convene business and government representatives from 10 Midwest states and Japan. Among all U.S. states, Indiana is home to the largest amount of Japa- nese investment per capita in the na- tion, with more than 280 Japanese businesses that support more than 58,000 Hoosier jobs. Additionally, In- diana is the only U.S. state with three Japanese automotive original equip- ment manufacturers (OEM) and ex- ports $1.6 billion of Hoosier-made goods to Japan annually, making In- diana the country's fifth-largest ex- port location in the world. Since 2013, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) has secured nearly 70 commitments from Japan-based firms to locate or grow in the state, together planning to in- vest $ 3.16 billion and create more than 7,600 new jobs in the coming years. Al- ready this year, Toyota Motor Manu- facturing of Indiana announced plans to invest $ 600 million in its Princeton operations and create up to 400 new jobs by the end of 2019, while NTK Pre- cision A xle Corporation and Kimura Foundry America both announced plans to establish new manufacturing facilities in Anderson and Shelbyville, respectively. The cost of the state delegation, which will include Indiana Secretary of Commerce Jim Schellinger, is be- ing covered through private donations to the Indiana Economic Development Foundation, and the IEDC's office in Tokyo will assist with trip arrange- ments. The cost for Mandabach to partic- ipate is being picked up by Bowman Family Holdings and Solar Sources. Miller shoots diamond ring effect image This diamond ring effect photo was taken by local as- tronomy buff Mark Miller, of Otwell. He traveled to Ft. Campbell on the Tennessee/Kentucky line to be in the total eclipse path. The diamond ring effect only appears for a couple of seconds during a total eclipse. Right Mark Miller used an 8-inch Meade Schmidt– Cassegrain and Williams Optics FLT 98 mm retractor telescopes with a Pentax K10D camera to photograph the total eclipse last week. He also used a white-light glass filter to allow safe viewing of the sun through the telescopes.
