Kindness, compassion, commitment. Huntington resident Donald Schoeff Sr. embodies all three in his past work in law enforcement and public service as Huntington County’s assessor and auditor.
However, his lifelong commitment and implementation of the ideals of the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks (BPOE) have impacted all in his sphere.
On July 8, Schoeff was installed as the Grand Tiler of the Grand Lodge. This national honor is a culmination of 56 years of dedication. Schoeff’s sponsor for the position was Jim Nichelson, past grand exalted ruler.

A colorful mural is now on display at Lake Clare.
Huntington resident James Allen Mitten created a spray paint mural that Huntington Township Trustee Everett "E.J." Carroll says he hopes will give back to the people in the community.
The idea for the mural was born with Carroll, who reached out to Executive Director of LaFontaine Arts Council Katy Strass, who is also director of the Pathfinder Services Inc. Arts Center.
Strass says when Carroll contacted her he asked if she knew anyone who could do murals, and she immediately thought of Mitten.
