Much can be learned from Neve's birthday partyPosted Monday, May 20, at 3:52 PM Many times from the heart of babes comes words of wisdom. Sometimes the words of youngsters will surprise you because they show an adult's understanding of a situation and are willing to act on it. Such is the case of 7-year-old Genevieve "Neve" Grav, of Bloomfield, who had a birthday party Saturday...
Thanks to all of our mothers Most of us observed Mother's Day on Sunday, the day we set aside each year to pay honor and homage to our mothers ---- young and old. Where would we be without our mothers? All that we are and have learned in this world probably was greatly influenced by our mothers...

There's plenty to like about Duck Dynasty and that's a fact, Jack!!! What is it about the A&E television network hit reality show "Duck Dynasty" that is so appealing to me and many other fans across the country?

It's only a number Greetings: 60. At 60, the start of my seventh decade on God's green earth begins today. At 60, another birthday is observed. At 60, a day some might dread growing old, but I relish the fact that God has granted me another day. 60 is just a number. 60 in Roman numerals is LX So...
Love overpowered fear of flying After traveling more than 4,000 air miles and several hundred more miles on the ground, we returned from our vacation trip to California last Tuesday a bit nerve-racked and weary, but safe. However, there were times when the idea of returning to Greene County safe and sound was very much in question in my altitude-challenged mind...
Bike adoption project's goal is to help many kids Not sure how many of you read about the wonderful act of kindness carried out recently by a seven-year-old Lyons youngster who decided he wanted to give his bicycle away rather than sell it at a garage sale. Kory Bolin stands tall in my mind for what he did...
Is this consolidation one that needs to be talked about? It seems like every place I go these days the subject of school consolidation surfaces as a topic of conversation.

Local car enthusiasts give back There's a group of guys and ladies in and around our community who have a sincere love and affinity for classic vehicles ---- cars, trucks and motorcycles. They have meshed this vehicular affection with a benevolent spirit to make a big impact on our community and the lives of patients who receive medical care at Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health in Indianapolis...
Those who make compassion an essential part of their lives find the joy of life. Kindness deepens the spirit and produces rewards that cannot be completely explained in words. It is an experience more powerful than words. To become acquainted with kindness one must be prepared to learn new things and feel new feelings. Kindness is more than a philosophy of the mind. It is a philosophy of the spirit...
Movie will offer good, family fun For anyone looking for a good, family-friendly night at the movies, there might be a cheap alternative to venturing to the movie theater and shelling out $20 to get in and another $20 for drinks or snacks. The First Christian Church in Bloomfield will offer a free public showing of the movie Last Ounce of Courage on Friday at 7 p.m...
Interim WRV Superintendent is qualified for the job There's a lot to like about the hiring of Jerrill Vandeventer as the interim superintendent in the White River Valley School District. He comes to the school on an interim contract that started at 7 a.m. Friday and runs until June 30. One of his first duties was to declare a two-hour delay in the start of school Friday morning because of icy road conditions...
Wearing a traditional Colonial-era, three-cornered tricorne hat with a graying ponytail trailing at the back, author John Curry sat at a table for hours in Linton's Roy Clark Community Center on Saturday and Sunday.

Wade decision legalizing abortion, pro-lifers have something to shout about ---- the closure of 1,500 abortion clinics over the past 22 years.

Grandma's way was best What is it about the good, old days of yesteryear that make you appreciate where you've been and cherish the memories of those loved ones who have passed on? All this snowy stuff, cold temperatures and this flu bug that's going around has made me remember my time as a kid growing up in a small Perry County town in southern Indiana...

Santa just adds to the Christmas holiday You could see it in the twinkle in his eyes. A vibrant smile was evident on the rosy-cheeks of the large guy who was decked out in a bright red suit. Santa was loving his seasonal Yuletide visit Saturday morning to Newberry. One by one small children and a couple of bigger children, who possessed a child's heart, paraded to the decorated Christmas scene in the Bloomfield State Bank branch...
