Page 6A THE BEACON July 2019 B Beacon USINESS NEWS ABOUT OUR ADVERTISERS HighPoint Health Nurse Nominated for Daisy Award Providing an exceptional patient experience is the standard of care for all employees at Highpoint Health. While giving this high level of care to patients may be the norm for HighPoint Health nurses and caregivers, the efforts do not go unnoticed by their patients. Even though simple acts of compassion, respect, and understanding are routine practices for the patient care staff, the assistance being provided often seems extraordinary to the patient. That’s what Highpoint Health Birthing Center Staff Nurse Andrea Chipman, RN, IBCLC, discovered when she was named the hospital’s most recent DAISY Award recipient. Mrs. Chipman was selected for the DAISY Award by a mother who submitted glowing comments about the nurse. The mother wrote, “She walked me through the entire process step by step. She kept me calm and made sure I was well-informed on everything that was happening or that I needed to do. Any questions I had were given very thorough answers.” The patient also wrote that Mrs. Chipman understood her needs both before and after the baby’s birth. “She appreciated the fact that I would anticipate what she needed and would explain what would happen during a procedure. Even though a delivery can occur quickly, one can still take the time to tell the mother what is happening,” Mrs. Chipman explained. DAISY stands for Diseases Attacking the Immune System. The DAISY Foundation recognizes nurses around the world for outstanding care and dedication to their patients.

SIEOC Hosts First Annual Fundraiser Ivy Tech Foundation-Batesville Receives Grant The Ivy Tech Foundation recently received $900 from the Ripley County Community Foundation’s Bill Gutzwiller and Janet Bozzelli Fund. The fund was established to support local students who plan to pursue degrees of higher education. This particular award was made in support of nursing scholarships. “Scholarships have become a vital component of our organization because of the ever-rising cost of college tuition”, stated Amy Streator, RCCF Executive Director. “Thanks to the generosity of donors like Mr. Gutzwiller and Ms. Bozzelli, this scholarship will provide some students with the financial bump they needed to enroll in college.” SIEOC has proudly served the communities in which we live, learn, and work since 1965. The organization held its first annual fundraiser dinner on May 10. The theme for the event was Better Together. Featured keynote speaker Rob Moorhead, the South Ripley Community School Superintendent, shared anecdotes and colorful commentary. He also promoted SIEOC’s mission as well as descriptions of all of the services they provide. The evening was enjoyed by approximately one hundred eighty-five guests who enjoyed dinner and a silent auction. SIEOC’s goal for the evening was to raise funds to support and expand their programs to further their mission of improving the conditions under which we live, learn and work. Programs include Head Start, Child Care Resource and Referral, Section 8 and FSS, Individual Development Account Program, The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, the Bev Henry Fund, and Covering SIEOC Executive Director Tammy Cunningham and Rob Morehead, Superintendent for South Ripley Community School Corp.

Victor Sarringhaus fertilizes plants with fish emulsion. By Katie Ullrich In the winter of 1851, Sister Theresa Hacklemeier made the journey from Austria to Indiana, where she and Father Francis Joseph Rudolph founded the Sisters of Saint Francis in Oldenburg. Recently, cholera had taken the lives of many of the parents in the area, leaving orphaned children in need of care. Not We Need Listings! only did these children need shelter, but they also needed to eat. This situation spurred Father Rudolph to purchase forty acres of land near the convent on which the Sisters began Michaela Farm in 1854. Its namesake, Sister Michaela Lindemann, was caretaker for the farm for over fifteen years and the first farm manager. Sister Michaela was one of the original three sisters who were awaiting Sister Theresa Hacklemeier’s arrival from Austria and became an integral part of the founding of the Sisters of Saint Francis. Sister Michaela was an excellent gardener, already caring for a garden on the convent grounds when Father Rudolph purchased the land that would become Michaela Farm. Sister Michaela ran the farm efficiently, known affectionately by the men who worked on the farm as the Field Marshall. Under her command, the farm grew in size.

Photos by Katie Ulrich caring attitude towards the land gave the farm the roots it needed to grow. Today, the farm is still run by the Sisters of Saint Francis, whose mission to care for creation hasn’t changed. Michaela Farm does this through the tending of their animals, crops, and land. The farm is pesticide free, using natural processes in raising fruit and vegetables, as well as with their free-range chickens that are primarily egg-layers. Between 1907 and 1909, a barn was constructed that is still standing today. The barn was built of bricks, using lumber only for the beams and support. The bricks were made in the village of Oldenburg, which in the early 20th century most likely indicates that they were made of clay and sand and molded by hand. The barn has a basement and main floor, with a roof made initially of slate. However, after almost one hundred years, updates had to be made. The barn was re-roofed with shingles, though they were designed to still look like slate. Other renovations had to be done as well, such as tuck-pointing to take care of cracks, window repairs, new flooring, and the installation of downspouts and gutters. All of this brought the barn up to current standards. In 2009, Michaela Farm had a barn party for the barn’s 100th birthday. This barn is just one of the facets of Michaela Farm that can be appreciated by school groups that hail from local schools or as far as Cincinnati and Indianapolis. These groups, or groups from nearby churches, often do volunteer work. Tour and volunteer coordinator, Sister Carolyn, says this volunteer work helps to “preserve the beauty of the grounds” as well as with the regular upkeep of Michaela farm. Not only does the farm host groups, but welcomes people who just want to take a look around for themselves. This year the greenhouse was updated, getting a new concrete floor over the winter. Not only does this floor help to hold in heat, lead gardener, Victor Sarringhaus, says that the new floor makes moving the plants back and forth on carts easier until the weather is warm enough for them to stay outside. The greenhouse is where the seedlings are started. When they are mature enough, the seedlings are planted in another greenhouse, known around the farm as the high tunnel. The high tunnel was built last year and already houses plenty of growing vegetables. It sits atop a hill, with a beautiful view of the surrounding area. Michaela Farm has a Community Supported Agriculture program. CSA allows people to sign up and receive the farm’s locally grown food from May through September. The community can also support Michaela Farm through their Farm Store, which is located right next to the historic barn. Through the store, they sell honey, herbs, and transplants, ready to be planted in a garden. Perhaps what is most amazing about Michaela Farm is that it is run by less than ten people, though they are looking to add a few more to the staff. Michaela Farm is not only important to the Sisters, but it is close to the hearts of Oldenburg residents. Across the street is Oldenburg Academy High School, whose photography classes have visited the farm for opportunities to capture the charm of the plants, animals, and buildings. Take the time to appreciate the history and dedicated workmanship that has gone into Michaela Farm, whether it be just driving past or stopping in to say hello.
