GCGH celebrates Hospital Week with employee appreciation events
Posted Friday, May 17, at 8:36 AM A hospital is more than a place where people go to heal, it is a part of the community that fosters health and represents hope. From providing treatment and comfort to the sick, to welcoming new life into the world, hospitals are central to a healthy and optimistic community...
Congratulations Lady Lakers for making history Congratulations to the Lady Lakers and Coach Troy Fougerousse on the school's first ever sectional title in girls' basketball. It's become a tradition in Jasonville for residents to line the streets after a team has won a sectional, regional, semi-state, or state championship. ...
Family traditions So many families have traditions they carry out each and every holiday season. I am going to share some of my favorite family traditions and hope that you will share some of yours as well. First and foremost, I feel it necessary to recognize the REAL reason we celebrate this Christmas season -- the birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior...
Grandparents provide an inspiration "A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person." -- Mignon McLaughlin For my Papaw and Mamaw (Claude Jr. and Naomi Thomas) of Jasonville, they've fallen in love countless times as their marriage has lasted for 58 years ... and it's still going strong...
Congrats on a fine season to all involved Even though the Shakamak Lakers ended their season as state runners up instead of state champs, the boys in blue have nothing to be ashamed of. The Lakers had a tremendous season, falling short to No. 1 ranked Lafayette Central Catholic at Victory Field in Indianapolis...
Short drive provides full day of fun and memories for families If you're looking for a day filled with fun for your family, look no further than Holiday World & Splashin' Safari in nearby Santa Claus, Ind. The theme park has been on the receiving end of many awards -- most recently rated the No. 1 water park by TripAdvisor, an online travel site...
Shakamak grad in state finals again This weekend, I will find myself cheering for two different teams -- the Shakamak Lakers as they are in the Class A baseball semistate and the South Putnam Eagles as they are vying for a second Class 2A softball state title. I'm a graduate of Shakamak High School, so it's obvious why I am rooting on the Lakers. I'm rooting on the Eagles because of a connection to Shakamak -- South Putnam's head coach is Chris Jones...
If you've seen a blue toilet in front yards in Jasonville and Linton lately, rest assured people are not inventing a new outhouse, it's simply a fundraiser for the Shakamak's 10 & Under competitive baseball team. The team has qualified for the Ripken Experience, which is a week-long tournament (June 17-22) in Myrtle Beach, SC. Funds raised will go toward tournament entrance fees...
I'm passionate about organ donation Last week was National Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness Week. Over the past several years, organ donation is something I have become very passionate about. When I received my driver's license after turning 16, I answered "yes" to becoming an organ donor. I had no idea then how organ donation would impact my life and the lives of my family...
Indianapolis Children's Museum a great place to visit If you're looking for a fun place to take the kids, then look no further than the Indianapolis Children's Museum. With 472,900-square feet, more than 120,000 artifacts, and over 1 million visitors each year, the Indianapolis Children's Museum is the largest children's museum in the world...
Read Across America Week This week, students across America have been celebrating "Read Across America Week." At Linton-Stockton Elementary, students are tracking the number of minutes they read each night and prizes will be given to the top readers. My kids have had their noses stuck in books all week -- and I love it! I have always loved reading and am glad they enjoy it as well...
Great job Patti!! This week was Linton Mayor Patti Jones' final regular meeting leading the city of Linton. She will soon pass the reigns of the city to John Wilkes. When former Linton Mayor Tom Jones passed away unexpectedly in March, many wondered who would step in and fill his shoes. ...
Take handwashing very seriously Cold and flu season is among us, so it's only fitting that December is National Handwashing Awareness Month. Keeping our hands clean is one of the most important steps in stopping the spread of germs because so many diseases and conditions are spread by people not washing their hands with soap and clean running water...

I am going to share some of my favorite family traditions and hope that you will share some of yours as well. First and foremost, I feel it necessary to recognize the real reason we celebrate this Christmas season -- the birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior...
Uncle Darren to retire I wanted to use this blog space as an opportunity to thank someone very close to my heart for his amazing service to Jasonville and the surrounding communities. On Dec. 31, my cousin Darren Sluder will retire from the Jasonville Fire Department. He's been a volunteer fireman for 30 years...
I have a lot to be thankful for It's November. Where has 2011 gone? Before the month passes me by, I wanted to take a moment and reflect on some of the things that I am thankful for. I'm thankful for so many things. I'm sure I could sit at my computer for hours making my list. I'd like to share a few of the things I am thankful for...
Are you a bucket filler or a bucket dipper? This has been discussed with my children this week as they have learned about the Bucket Filler for Life program at Linton-Stockton Elementary. They've had presentations and convocations on the subject matter. The basic concept is that everyone has an invisible bucket that carries their feelings. ...
A proud granddaughter I've attended many city council meetings over the years as a reporter; however, Monday night, I had the opportunity to attend one as a proud granddaughter. My Mamaw, Naomi Thomas was presented the 2011 Ed Sheppard Award by Jasonville Mayor Roy Terrell, Jr., at the city council meeting...
Teachers can have a huge impact on your life While looking through a box of old pictures my mom gave me, I came across a lot more than photos -- such as pictures I had drawn and notes I had written my mom as a young child, report cards, and standardized testing scores. I smiled -- inside and outside -- realizing my mom kept those things for all these years. I felt so special and loved that the things meant so much to her to keep them...
Thank you Granny and Papaw 50 years. 600 months. 2,600 weeks. 18,250 days. This week, my grandparents -- Larry and Pat Fougerousse -- will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. What am amazing milestone. With today's high divorce date, it's refreshing to see couple married for so many years...
