Nearly everyone loves cookies, especially those special recipe varieties that are pulled out only during the Christmas season. There’s nothing more delightful than seeing a plateful of festively decorated cookies, festooned with colorful frostings, sugars and candies. The creation of these miniature pieces of art not only takes a lot of skill and creativity, but also plenty of time and commitment, all of which are often in short supply in today’s busy world. Fortunately, Community Presbyterian Church in Rochester again has you covered during this Christmas season. After taking a ﬁve-year hiatus, the church will again host a cookie walk. For those unfamiliar, church families will be busily creating their favorite baked delights and offering them for sale during the public event, which will take place from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Dec. 11, at the church, located at 530 Jefferson St., Rochester. They will have tables set up in the church, from which you can create your own cookie tin to share at your Christmas gathering or stash away in your pantry for your own guilty pleasure. Once you have made your selections, the plate is weighed and charged at $8 per pound. Additionally, there are some items for sale are individually priced. There is no limit on how much you can purchase. All proceeds from the event beneﬁt RochContinued on page 3

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR Local resident shares his memories of life in Rochester %\ 75$&(< 58&.0$1 )HDWXUH :ULWHU Jimmie Tyler, Rochester, was the seventh sibling born into a family of 10. When he was a child, his mother was a dishwasher at the Evergreen and his dad would sometimes send him to the restaurant to pick up lunch. “You could get four tenderloins back then for a $1,” he recollected with a smile. The tenderloins from his early years must’ve made quite the impact. When the opportunity to sell his trucking company and purchase the Evergreen in 1973 became available, Tyler jumped at the chance. “I got up at 4 a.m. every morning for 30 years,” he said. “I know it sounds funny, but I loved going to work. I have so many friends and memories from that time in my life.”

Tyler baked pies, ground his own hamburger from chuck and cut his own steaks daily to feed the droves of customers who came in. And, he made the same famous tenderloins he used to pick up as a kid. “Those tenderloins traveled all over the United States,” he said. Customers requested them while visiting and Tyler would double wrap and freeze them, so they could take them back in their luggage on the plane. Tyler recalled, “You could get a T-bone, french fries, and a salad for $2.75, or two eggs, toast, and coffee for 60 cents.” Tyler sold the Evergreen in 2002, but he continued to make the pies in the morning for the new owner and reminisce with customers afterward. During his time at the Evergreen, Tyler began collecting ink pens. He had a wide array of pens from businesses, states,

• Agricultural • Commercial • Residential

FREE S E ESTIMAT

and other countries from around the world. Customers would bring him pens to add to his collection. At one point, Tyler had 20,000 pens. His collection included a 1913 Parker with a mother of pearl stem and a solid rolled gold cap; an Eagle Pencil Company pen from 1887 made out of aluminum with a cork in it that held the ink; and a unique pen he referred to as his Al Capone pen. “It shot a .25 caliber shell. You could cock it, put the shell in it and shoot it,” he said. Incidentally, his neighbor was also a pen collector and the Indianapolis Star came to town and did a story on the pair, which in turn, prompted a visit from a pen collector. Tyler was also the secretary at the Eagles lodge for 22 years. He recently retired from that position and passed the reins to Doug Beller. During his time as secretary, Tyler helped with the push for the new lodge located on Fourth Street, and is proud of all the funding and support the lodge has provided to the community

retary is the feedback received from the students, “The kids send back the nicest letters.” “I couldn’t have done it by myself — the lodge or the restaurant — I needed the women, men, and the ofﬁcers to make everything run smoothly. We all worked together. It was perfect,” he said. He was recently honored with the Aerie Hall of Fame award from the Eagles for his years of service. Tyler still visits the lodge two or three days a week, and when the couple’s four children are in town, they dine at the Evergreen. He also served on the water board for 23 years, and when time allows, he and his wife Betty enjoy going to the boat together for dinner and a shot at becoming Rochester’s next big casino winners.

Cast iron pan tips Good neighbors: My care for my iron fry pan I’ve used for 60 years. Take it and scrub very good with a stainless scrubber. Dry. Put on low heat and put a quarter size bacon grease in it to melt. I have bacon grease in a small glass jar in the fridge to fry eggs, potatoes, etc. Makes great taste. For bacon grease, fry strips of bacon and save the drippings. I don’t wash my pan every time I cook because it destroys the seasoning. — A reader

Mix well and turn into baking dish and cover with thick layer of seasoned mashed potatoes. Brush top with beaten egg and dot with pieces of butter and bake for 30 minutes.

&RPPXQLW\ 3UHVE\WHULDQ Continued from page 1 ester Community School’s Kids’ Bridge backpack food program. “Superintendent Jana Vance approached local churches this fall and asked them to consider ways to help ﬁnancially support the backpack program,” said Ashley Chipps, the church’s mission and outreach chairperson. “We donated the prize money that we won at the chamber’s Chili Cook-off in October and also will be donating all the money from the cookie walk.” The backpack program through the schools offers food for students in need to take home during weekends or holiday breaks, according to Chipps. Additionally, she said Vance told her a food pantry is open to families who might be going through a rough time or are in particular need. Chipps said prior to 2016, which was the last year for the event, the church had been doing a cookie

walk for as long as she could remember. “We’re a smaller church with an older congregation, and it was becoming overwhelming,” she said of the decision to discontinue the event a half-decade ago. “We were baking a lot and not getting a great turnout. After the event, we were donating the cookies to various organizations in the community, which was great, but it defeated our purpose of raising money for an organization in the community.” She said after the chili cookoff, several church members approached her about what else the church could do to raise money. Many were interested in possibly reinstating the cookie walk. “It’s always something we enjoyed doing,” said Chipps. “We have a large kitchen at the church and some ladies will use it for their baking. We ask that they bake 6-8 dozen cookies each, although many

will make much more in several varieties. “We missed doing this,” she said. “We’re looking forward to getting back into the kitchen and baking. We suggest people come early for the best selection. Our goal is to sell out early. We know that quite a few people purchase goodies from the cookie walk to gift to others, so this year we’ll provide festive containers so they will be gift ready. “We’re all looking forward to seeing familiar faces. Over the years many community members made this a part of their family Christmas traditions. I can think of one family in particular that comes each year with three generations. I personally enjoy participating because it gets my kids involved. They help from start to ﬁnish with baking, setting up, working the day of, and cleaning up. They get to serve our church and community and have fun.”

Returning to his roots, Lanty took the family camping near Monticello’s Lake Freeman at White Oaks on the Lake. This is where many memories were made.

Department of Health partners with Purdue University Indiana Department of Health has partnered with Purdue University on a new initiative that aims to ensure Hoosiers have better access to the resources they need to improve their health. The two-year Indiana Healthy Opportunities for People Everywhere initiative will deploy teams across the state to facilitate community-level conversations, resulting in strategies to address the factors that prevent people from living their healthiest lives. The work will examine longstanding risk factors, as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Hoosiers’ health. The effort is being funded by a $34.8 million grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Chronic disease, food insecurity, opioids, obesity and smoking were challenges for Indiana before the pandemic, and the last two years of isolation and treatment delays have only made them worse,” said State Health Commissioner Kris Box, M.D., FACOG. “As we amplify pandemic recovery efforts, it’s more important than ever to understand and respond to the factors that make it difﬁcult for people to get healthy and stay healthy, such as limited access to healthcare, affordable housing, transportation, childcare, and safe and secure employment. I-HOPE will help us do that.” During the two-year project, the teams deployed by Purdue Healthcare Advisors at the Regenstrief Center for Healthcare Engineering will collaborate with I-HOPE partners working on projects statewide, as well as with 30 Indiana counties that have been most impacted by the pandemic. The initial focus areas will include Cass, Daviess, Elkhart, Lake and Wayne counties, then will expand to Adams, Allen, Blackford, Clark, Clinton, Delaware, Fayette, Grant, Jackson, Jay, Jefferson, Kosciusko, LaPorte, Madison, Marshall, Noble, Orange, Ripley, Scott, St. Joseph, Sullivan, Switzerland, Tipton, Vanderburgh and Vigo counties. The I-HOPE initiative is inde-

pendent of, but will complement, the work of the Governor’s Public Health Commission, established in August to examine Indiana’s public health infrastructure. The 15-member commission is charged with analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of

Indiana’s current public health system and identifying ways to improve funding and equitable delivery of public health services in the future, with a focus on legislation. For more information about IHOPE, visit i-hope.purdue.edu.

Poultry products donated to Hoosiers this year Recently, Gov. Eric Holcomb, Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and Indiana State Department of Agriculture Director Bruce Kettler recognized the generosity of Indiana’s poultry producers at the 74th annual Indiana state poultry recognition event hosted at the Indiana Statehouse. During the past year, Indiana poultry farmers have donated nearly 100 tons or 200,000 pounds of poultry products to Hoosiers in need. “Indiana’s agriculture industry is making strong economic impacts across the state, nationally and across the globe and that is due in part to Hoosier poultry producers,” said Holcomb. “As we enter the holiday season, let us all recognize the contributions Hoosier farmers make in ensuring our plates are full of a variety of nutritious foods, and, of course, all of our favorite seasonal treats.” For decades, Indiana’s poultry producers have been working to address food insecurity in their local communities by providing protein to food banks across the state. Some of the main products that were donated during the course of this year include eggs, chicken, duck and turkey. The strength of Indiana’s poultry sector was also recognized during the ceremony as Indiana is one of the top poultry producing states in the country. According to the USDA National Agriculture Statistics Service, Indiana ranks No. 1 in duck production, No. 2 in egg production, No. 4 in turkey production and is home to high quality broiler chicken production as well.

The poultry industry is a substantial economic driver for the state contributing more than $12 billion in total economic activity. Additionally, this sector employs more than 12,000 Hoosiers. “Each year I look forward to celebrating and honoring the generosity of our Hoosier poultry producers,” Crouch said. “There is nothing more heartwarming than Hoosiers helping Hoosiers, especially around the holiday season.” Indiana State Poultry Association members continually give back to their local communities throughout the year. According to ISPA president Becky Joniskan, during the last 12 months members have contributed more than seven million eggs to their local communities. “This event is a testament to the character, generosity, and strength of our industry,” said Joniskan. “I am so grateful to work alongside such exceptional poultry farmers and processors who keep the wholesomeness of their products and their responsibilities to their communities top of mind.” Today’s ceremony marks an annual tradition that dates back to the late 1940s. Organized by ISPA, one of the oldest poultry organizations in the nation, it was designed to recognize the strength of Indiana’s poultry industry, as well as the annual donations made by its members, who are responsible for more than 95% of the chicken, duck, turkey and eggs produced in Indiana.

had venerated King Uzziah. For 52 years, Uzziah had led Judah in a program of peace and prosperity. It was an era of expansion and achievement. It was unfortunate the king had rebelled against the word of God and died a leper (2 Kings 15:1-7; 2 Chronicles 26). Isaiah realized though the nation had prospered materially, it was in terrible condition spiritually. The economic growth and temporary peace were a veneer that covered a nation with a wicked heart. What was going to happen to Judah? God lifted Isaiah’s eyes from himself and his people to the throne of heaven. There might be confusion and unrest on earth, but there was perfect peace in heaven: God was seated in majestic power and glory. People on earth might be recalling the shame of Uzziah’s death as a leper, but there was no shame or shadow of failure in heaven. Rather, the seraphim were saying, “Holy, holy, holy.” Jehovah is the great God of heaven. John 12:38-41 informs us Isaiah saw Jesus Christ in his glory. He was on the throne of heaven being praised by the seraphim. His royal robe filled the heavenly temple, and the house was filled with the smoke of his anger against sin (Psalm 80:4). His angelic creatures, the seraphim (“fiery ones”), praised him for his holiness and His glory. “The whole earth is full of His glory.” Isaiah did not see much glory that day, nor do we see it today. Rather, it seems the whole earth is “filled with violence” (Genesis 6:11). We see events from a human perspective; the angels see them from God’s viewpoint. One day when Jesus reigns, the whole earth shall be full of his glory (see Numbers 14:21, Psalm 72:19, and Habakkuk 2:14). See also Isaiah 11:9. “Lord of hosts” is Isaiah’s favorite name for God; he uses it at least 65 times. “Lord of the armies” is what it means. The prophet also calls God “the Holy One of Israel” at least 30 times. Jehovah is the God of holy warfare, the God who opposes sin and defeats the enemy. Isaiah needed to realize this fact in a day when Judah appeared to be defeated. This is a good practical lesson for Christians today: when the day is dark, lift your eyes to heaven and see Jesus Christ on the throne. “The Lord is in his holy temple.” Amen.

Ask the Pharmacist —

What is the difference between COVID-19 vaccines? %\ +$55< :(%% :HEE·V )DPLO\ 3KDUPDF\ Editor’s note: This is the first in a regular series in which we will ask Dr. Harry Webb of Webb’s Family Pharmacy a health-related question. What are the differences between the Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccines? The first vaccine approved in the United States was the Pfizer mRNA (messenger RNA) vaccine. It is now fully FDA approved in all patients aged 12 and older. It is marketed under the brand name Comirnaty. Messenger RNA vaccines deliver instructions to the cell to make a tiny protein on the surface of the cell that resembles the spike protein the COVID-19 virus has on its outer surface. This spike the vaccine creates does nothing, and you cannot get COVID-19 from this protein segment. The spike protein found on the actual coronavirus is how the virus attaches to the cell and starts the infection. Once your immune cells see this foreign protein, they create antibodies to destroy the protein. These antibodies will also attack the COVID-19 virus if you

are exposed to the virus. And that’s how it helps prevent serious infection if you are exposed. Scientists have been working on mRNA technology since the 1970s. The advantage of mRNA vaccines is they don’t have to be cultured or grown to produce the vaccine. The challenge has been to develop the carrier to deliver the delicate mRNA to the cells before the body destroys it. This new development will be used in many vaccines in the future and possibly cancer treatments. Last month Pﬁzer also received emergency use authorization for their pediatric version of the vaccine. It can be given to children ages 5-11. Moderna is also a mRNA vaccine and works very similar to the Pﬁzer vaccine. It has emergency use authorization for all patients 18+ years old. They both have been proven to be safe and effective. Both require two vaccinations to reach 95% protection. Immune response to any disease naturally diminishes with time. Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine uses a more traditional method of delivering the instructions to the cell. Instead of using mRNA, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine uses a disabled

adenovirus to deliver the instructions to a few of your cells to also grow spike proteins, like the other two vaccines. This adenovirus carrier is not related to the coronavirus. It is a completely different virus. This vaccine was initially promoted as a “one and done” vaccine. And it helps patients prevent infection approximately 70% of the time. It has emergency use authorization for all patients 18+ years old. Since these vaccines were introduced, the virus has mutated, and the prevalent Delta variant is much more contagious than the strains that were around a year ago. Coming in close contact with a person who has an active infection can overwhelm your immune system at the point of attack. Good immunity requires multiple layers of antibodies and by getting an additional dose of any of these vaccines boosts your immune system. A robust immune system, strengthened by an additional dose of your chosen vaccine is more effective at blocking the Delta variant infection. It is recommended all vaccinated individuals consider an additional dose. With Pﬁzer the third dose is like the ﬁrst two

and it is given six months after the second dose. Moderna booster is half strength, and it is also given six months after the second dose. Johnson & Johnson vaccine booster is full dose given two months after the ﬁrst dose. People are allowed to mix and match their vaccine based on availability, adverse reactions or personal preferences. Many vaccines used today are given in multiple doses to maximize your immunity — for example the Polio and pneumonia vaccine. It is likely these additional COVID-19 vaccine doses may be simply part of the vaccine treatment guidance. As of November 2021, more than 7.8 billion doses of these vaccines have been given worldwide. These vaccines are proven to be extremely effective. Although no vaccine is without possible side effects, most are minor. This vaccine is only in your body for about four days before your body destroys it. Your body creates an immune response and then your immune system wipes it out. Potential adverse effects of a COVID-19 infection are many times greater than the vaccine side effects and can trigger long term com-

'5 +$55< :(%% plications and death. Studies show people with a previous COVID-19 infections are ﬁve times more likely to get a second COVID-19 infection than a vaccinated person. The key with these vaccines is their ability to create immunity to the virus’s spike protein. It is difﬁcult to know if a naturally acquired immunity from previous COVID-19 infection targets spike protein. This unknown make variants more likely to cause a second infection. I strongly recommend everyone age 5 and older get fully vaccinated and, in most situations, get a booster dose when it is recommended. Detailed information on any vaccine can be found at www. CDC.gov.

ISP issues 40 trafﬁc citations in pre-Thanksgiving patrol On Wednesday, Nov. 24, troopers working from the Indiana State Police Peru Post conducted a saturation patrol targeting aggressive and impaired drivers in Miami, Wabash, Cass, Fulton, Grant and Howard counties. During the patrol, ofﬁcers concentrated their enforcement efforts on the heavily traveled roads of I-69, US 31, SR 3 and US 24. In the patrol, troopers issued

40 traffic citations and 118 written warnings. Thirty-one of the citations were for speeding. They also made five criminal arrests and arrested one impaired driver. Saturation Patrol Activity • Traffic arrests (tickets) — 40 • Traffic warnings — 118 • Drunk drivers arrested — one • Criminal arrests — five • Motorist assists — 14

By conducting saturation patrols, ISP hopes to deter motorists from driving aggressively or while impaired. Hopefully, this will make traveling on Indiana roadways safer. Citizens are encouraged to report suspected impaired drivers by calling 911. Give a location, vehicle description and direction of travel. Do not follow an impaired or aggressive driver.

Purdue Extension Fulton County —

Cooking with slow cookers %\ -(66,&$ 5,))/( ([WHQVLRQ (GXFDWRU 3XUGXH ([WHQVLRQ )XOWRQ &RXQW\ With all the new small kitchen appliances, the slow cooker has remained a true staple in many home kitchens. The attraction of the slow cooker is the “set it and forget it” mentality. Occasionally this hands-off approach can still result in underdone vegetables and overdone meat. Layering within the slow cooker does make a difference in the success of a dish. The heating elements are on the bottom and sides of a slow-cooker so tougher vegetables should be placed on the bottom and up the sides.

Tougher vegetables include potatoes, turnips, parsnips, carrots, beets, and winter squash. The next layer can include not-sotough vegetables such as celery, fennel, green beans and bell peppers. Any meat and/or poultry should be placed above hearty vegetable to prevent overcooking. This also allows the meat juices drip down and ﬂavor the entire pot. Defrost meat or poultry in the refrigerator and cut into smaller pieces before putting in the slow cooker for more even cooking. The quick-cooking, more delicate, vegetables and canned beans need to be placed on top to preserve texture and individual ﬂavors. Deli-

cate vegetables include zucchini, spinach, cauliflower, broccoli, and peas. Last but not least, do not forget to incorporate liquid into the mix. The liquid like water, broth or juice is used to prevent food from sticking. Sautee fresh garlic, onion, or ground meat first before adding them to the slow cooker. This allows the extra fat from ground beef to be removed and the powerful flavors of garlic and onion to be more available. Hearty herbs like rosemary and thyme also make great toppers to food in the slow cooker. If you prefer the flavor of more delicate herbs like parsley, cilantro, and basil, wait until they dish is about to

be served. Soups, stews, chili and casseroles made with ground meat are usually ﬁne to cook on high. Dishes that include poultry tend to become dry if cooked on high. The moist heat of the slow cooker creates a good environment to cook dry beans. Soak dry beans overnight, drain, pour into the crockpot and cover with two inches of water, add your favorite spices, and the result will be textured beans much like those

that are canned. Dry spices like oregano, cumin, or black pepper ﬂavor beans well and can withstand long cooking times of a slow cooker. As tempting as it may be, don’t peek! Lifting the lid even once can delay food’s doneness by 2030 minutes. Peeking early on in the cooking process can also increase the risk of keeping food in the temperature danger zone, where bacteria can grow rapidly.

Chewing their cud %\ 0$5. .(3/(5 ([WHQVLRQ 'LUHFWRU 3XUGXH ([WHQVLRQ )XOWRQ &RXQW\ You just got done eating that big Sunday meal and you retire to the couch to watch a football game. As the sun streams in from a window and the room warms up, you find yourself dozing off as your body switches metabolic priorities and now puts you into digestive mode. Multiple chemicals from the digestive process enter the blood stream and now the body wants to spend time digesting and not working. Life is so different for cattle than ours. While we spend less than an hour eating, a ruminant animal such as cattle, sheep and goats spend about four hours. The first place our food goes is into the stomach. It makes up about 17% of our digestive capacity while many forage-consuming animals have a lead digestive organ called the rumen that makes up around 70% of its digestive tract. After spending four hours of consuming a forage-based diet to fill that large rumen, there isn’t time to sleep but still a chance for the body to rest. For about the next four hours it is cud-chewing time. In this process a ball of previously consumed forage is regurgitated or pushed back up into the mouth to be rechewed. During this process the long forage fibers are broken down to smaller more digestible pieces that will again be swallowed and are now more available to the protozoa, bacteria, and fungi that live inside the rumen. They do the actual digestion. Standing by an animal that is in the cud-chewing mode can be a stinky experience. One of the chemical offshoots of this process is methane. On my farm you could be standing face to face with a goat, scratching its neck when it decides it is time, during this non-stressful event, to chew

0$5. .(3/(5 its cud and then the foul breath emanates from its mouth. Some animals smell worse than others as the various digestive organisms in their guts may be different from others. Also, what they have eaten will also affect the resulting smell as well as genetic difference between animals. When you hear ruminant animals are a contributor to global warming due to their methane emissions, it is not what is going out their back end but what is coming out the front that is mostly the problem. Only about 5% of the methane escapes from the rear. There is a lot of ﬁnger-pointing and dueling statistics going on concerning global warming and ruminant animals. There are researchers trying different means to reduce the methane emissions including feed additives, genetics, and diet changes. For example, cattle on corn silage produces more methane than those on alfalfa silage. The animals on my place show little concern for all this science. While all the humans discuss, argue, debate and frankly, “chew the cud” on this environmental issue, it is now time to spend the next four hours sleeping, only for them to wake up and start the grazing cycle all over again. Life comes ﬁrst.

Attorney General announces expanded Parents’ Bill of Rights Attorney General Todd Rokita issued an expanded version of his office’s Parents’ Bill of Rights that contains, among other new information, a fresh section on parents’ rights involving medical decisions for their children. Labeled Parents’ Bill of Rights 2.0, it includes new information on: • How to file a civil rights claim if your student is being discriminated against; • How to better engage school boards and get documents; • How to become aware of your students’ medical rights; • How to run for school boards; and • How to opt out of your student’s curriculum. “Hoosier parents statewide are embracing their God-given roles as primary providers of their children’s education and upbringing,” Rokita said. “So many dedicated moms and dads responded with such appreciation to our Parents’ Bill of Rights when we first released it in June, and they raised many new questions and concerns that we are honored to help address in this Parents’ Bill of Rights 2.0.” The newly released version contains new guidance on such issues as social-emotional learning, open access to educational records, opting out of curriculum, and filing civil rights complaints. This edition also provides a section on parents’ rights as it pertains to medical

decisions for their children, including access to student health records, vaccination requirements, and educational accommodations. Indiana standards should reflect a holistic approach that is balanced and representative of all viewpoints and consistent with the curriculum approved by the Indiana General Assembly. Standards reflecting various civic and moral instruction must be crafted in ways that reflect equality, inclusivity, and diversity, while not maligning

parents, students, and educators. “Many Indiana teachers are committed, passionate educators who would never contemplate using classroom time to indoctrinate students into speciﬁc political ideologies,” Rokita said. “But parents have learned they must stay watchful, and they need to understand their legal rights to participate in the part of their children’s education that occurs outside the home, including in government schools.”

that allows Notre Dame researchers to estimate the size of the eagles’ young and the prey adults bring into the nest, Peters said. Notre Dame researchers published their ﬁndings this year after studying the types of prey the eagles bring to the nest, as reported in The Tribune’s Outdoor Adventures column Aug. 25. Graduate students had combed through more than 26,000 photos of the eagles’ nest that were shot in the spring of 2018. Another new feature, Peters said, is the overhead video includes a wider view of the nest, so you can see the eagles ﬂy in or sit on a nearby branch. He said activity is expected to ramp up in and after December as the eagles build up their nest in preparation for egg laying, which typically is in late February. The camera was intentionally installed in the time between nesting seasons, to avoid disrupting the eagle family.

company Davey Resource Group recently scaled the tree using ropes and installed a new camera, which hovers directly over the nest. The HD camera can pan 360 degrees, tilt and zoom up to 32x, according to the university. Low-light capabilities will help viewers to see more activities overnight, too. But it doesn’t provide the sound that was originally planned. Brett Peters, assistant director of Notre Dame’s Linked Experimental Ecosystem Facility, which operates the eagle cam, said he’d tested the microphone a week before. But, on installation day, just before the gear was installed, it failed. It would have allowed viewers to hear the eagles squawk and make their high-pitched chirping noises, but likely would have picked up a lot of wind noise, too. A new feature the eagle cam does include is a measuring device, which the Davey crew simply calibrated during installation,
