It’s over. My knee surgery was very successful. I will say right away I did not see any spiders on the wall. I didn’t even see any imaginary persons over my shoulder.

Ray and I have been through my numerous hip sur-geries, a big one concerning my tummy and minor ones as just part of our life together.

My last one was interesting. My pinky finger and half of the next one were taking on big nap. (Cubita tun-nel, caused by my ulnar nerve being compressed in my elbow.)

I decided I would get that correct-ed. My hand specialist was in Ocala, so that meant I had to go to the The Village’s Regional Hospital in the up-scale Villages. The cozy lounge with a gentleman playing a grand piano made a great first impression. Then I went to sign in. The receptionist was rolling around a wag of gum the size

of a golf ball. So much for making an impression. I must add the care during my short outpatient stay was excellent.

At my last visit, my hand doctor said it may take a year or more for the fingers to wake up. I never heard that at the beginning. Six months later, they are still snoozing.

After a couple years of not being able to do steps, I decided it was time

for a left knee replacement. The only forethought was that it was going to test my tolerance for pain. I knew I had the best orthopedic doctor and rehab center in the area.

When getting prepared for surgery, I was taken back when they told me to sit up so they could put an injection in my back to numb my bottom half. My quick comment was, “I won’t feel this, will I?” They assured me I would not. I didn’t.

I don’t remember much of my time in the hospital: balloons from the kids, Pastor Mary’s visit and 5:50 a.m. checkups by my doctor. Need-less to say I did not recognize him the first time he appeared at that wee hour. Ray must have been there too. (I can add that safely because when he had back surgery, he didn’t remember much that happened the first week. That included some time at home.)

I remember loading me on a $10,000 gurney – as the attendant said- and whisking me to the rehab center.

I was placed in the room with Alice, a little old lady of around 90, who had fallen and broken her arm. And this Christian met her challenge. My positive world of growing up and married life came to an abrupt end.

Alice didn’t know what positive was. She complained about every-thing. She groaned and moaned as they helped her get up. She knew only channel 8 and 53 on her TV.

I went home for a few hours on Christmas and Sundays. I missed her

Those who have said goodbye to the work-a-day grind now have many hours to settle down and relax. People who have continually put off vacations in lieu of work responsibilities may now have all the time they need to explore the world.

Traveling for seniors can be reward-ing and relaxing. Those with a substan-tial retirement nest egg have numerous destinations at their disposal. Mature vacationers travel more frequently and stay longer than any other age group. Travel ranks among the top leisure activities for men and women over 50, according to the Web site Suddenly Senior.

Seniors can find several travel ad-vantages at their disposal. Also, thanks to special senior discounts, travel may be even more affordable than first ex-pected.

While certain destinations are not always practical for certain age brack-

ets, there are many places to which seniors can visit comfortably and enjoy a wealth of memories.

Theme parks: Although theme parks may seem carved out entirely for the adventure-seekers, there are many other more placid activities that would ap-peal to those who prefer to keep their feet firmly on the ground rather than looping through the air on a rocket-propelled coaster.

With animal preserves, water parks, fine dining, and a bevy of hotels either in the park or directly on the outskirts, theme parks provide many activities for older travelers. Although theme parks require a lot of walking, many provide wheelchairs or motorized scooters for those who need to get off of their feet. They also make a great option for se-niors who will be traveling with the entire family, including children.

Beach resorts: Provided flying is medically safe, a beachside vacation

can be the ideal trip for seniors looking for the utmost in relaxation. For those who have passports, the possibilities are endless.

Those who prefer to remain on rel-atively domestic soil can retreat to Puerto Rico, south Florida, the Califor-nia coast, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Cruising: Cruising is a preferred va-cation choice for the 50+ set because it offers the convenience of an all-inclusive package and transportation all in one.

With the myriad activities offered on board, cruises are a versatile vacation option for seniors. Also, there is no need to worry abou

t traveling far for meals and other entertainment options, as everything is self-contained on the cruise ship. For more active seniors who enjoy the daily getaway, excursions in ports of call can provide the variety desired.

Guided tours: Seniors who want to experience a piece of history can sign up for tour packages backed by repu-table companies. The tours may involve train or bus travel, and various attrac-tions will be visited. At the end of the tour, individuals can choose to extend the vacation by checking into a hotel nearby.

RV trips: Another self-contained va-cation that is entirely up to the people traveling is vacationing by recreational vehicle. Seniors can customize their routes depending on which areas they want to see.

Companies like Cruise America RV enable people to rent an RV so they needn't worry about the expense of buying one outright. However, should RV traveling become addictive, there always is the option of buying a camper later on. Setting an itinerary and then establishing the pace enables travelers

Lawrenceburg attorney Bob Ew-bank will tell the fascinating story of the people represented by a rare family heirloom at the Dearborn County Historical Society Sunday March 3 at 2 p.m.

Ewbank recently acquired a hair wreath made from snippets of hair of dozens of Ewbank ancestors in the mid 1800’s.

Hair wreaths were all the rage at the time, made up of intricately woven flowers and leaves fash-ioned from human hair.

The wreath Ewbank now owns came into his possession after a

woman in another state noticed the names and sent a query to Dearborn County, wondering if any descendants were still in the area.

The packet included identifica-tion of the people whose hair is woven into the wreath.

The Ewbank-Smith wreath will be on display as will two similar wreaths already owned by the His-torical Society.

The public is welcome at the free event.

The Dearborn County Historical Society is located in the Vance-Tousey House at 508 West High Street, Lawrenceburg and is listed on the National Register of His-toric Places.

After 26 years of service, Dearborn Circuit Court Bailiff Bonnie Cunning-ham retired Friday, Feb. 15.

It was her 66th birthday.Friends, judges, coworkers, attor-

neys, police officers and others crowd-ed the judge’s office to wish her well, and tell her how much she will be missed.

Circuit Court Judge James D. Hum-phrey stood by, telling stories about her tenure as bailiff.

He particularly mentioned one jury trial that lasted 40 days, and in which the jury was sequestered, which means they had to stay at a hotel every night, and part of Bonnie’s job was to stay with them.

They became so attached to her that after the trial ended, they got together and presented her with a crystal en-graved with the words “From Your 14 Friends.” Juries often include two extra people as alternates.

Bonnie now admits quietly that she had occasionally sneaked home to her husband, the late Russell Cunningham, in the middle of the night, leaving the oversight of the jury to police officers.

Humphrey also explained that after every jury trial it is his custom to inter-view jurors about how they have been treated.

“I’m still waiting for the first com-

plaint about Bonnie. Her people skills are great,” said Humphrey.

Bonnie recalls that when she started on the job, the part-time bailiff was sta-tioned at a desk in the court house hall.

The job quickly expanded to require full-time work.

Over the years, her duties have mul-tiplied, as courts have become vastly more busy, computers have come into use, questionnaires are sent to prospec-tive jurors, and a wide variety of ques-tions have to be answered.

Her desk in the Judge’s office is always piled high with paperwork and the phone is a constant companion.

She laughs as she explains that when she started the job, the court schedules were put together on the typewriter, and were far less busy than they are today.

Before she was appointed bailiff in 1985, Bonnie served as jail matron for her late husband, who was Dearborn County Sheriff.

In the beginning of his term, the jail was located in the present ju-venile detention facility, and Bonnie was responsible for cooking meals for inmates.

While she was in charge of the menu, prisoners were served full scale holiday dinners on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

“I really believe in treating every-one else the way you would like to be treated,” she explains.

Dearborn Circuit Court Bailiff Bonnie Cunningham retired Friday, Feb. 15, after 26 years of service in the court.

Dear Senior Source,Q. I keep hearing about Superfoods.

What are Superfoods and why are they so super? How much of these foods should I be getting in my diet?

A. Superfoods are foods that have specific nutrients or compounds that can help prevent or manage common chronic diseases.

These foods normally contain a high amount of fiber, calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, or antioxidants that make them beneficial for overall health.

Foods high in fiber such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and beans are examples of superfoods. The real powerhouse vegetables include spin-ach, broccoli and tomatoes.

These foods can help you feel full, which is important for weight manage-ment. They can also help control cho-lesterol and blood sugar.

Wild salmon is a great way to get omega-3 fatty acids into your diet.

This nutrient helps with heart health, joint health, and cognitive health. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in other fish such as mackerel and her-ring, as well as flax seed and walnuts, another superfood.

It is recommended that people get two to three servings of Omega-3 fatty acids a week, according to WebMd.com.

Antioxidants can be found in foods like blueberries, black or green teas, and even dark chocolate.

The antioxidants in these foods can help reduce inflammation, which is a major contributor to nearly all chronic diseases. In blueberries, the secret is in the color.

The deep blue color contains anti-oxidant, so the deeper the blue the bet-ter, about a half of a cup per day. More cocoa and less sugar in dark chocolate can help lower blood pressure Tea, green tea especially, has a compound, ECGC, that has been found to slow or stop cancer cells.

Yogurt is a superfood high in cal-cium, which can help prevent osteopo-rosis by keeping bones strong. Yogurt

also has special bacteria in them that can help ward off intestinal irregulari-ties and other infections. Those people 50 and older should aim for 1,200 mili-grams of calcium per day.

The last superfood is soy. Soy prod-ucts, such as tofu and edamame, can substitute meat and other proteins in dishes, which can help lower choles-terol.

Lowering cholesterol can reduce the risk of both heart attack and stroke. However, soy sauce on your rice is not a suitable way to get soy into your diet.

The most important thing to think about when planning your diet is to make it balanced. Eat a healthy com-bination of whole grains, low-fat dairy, fruits, vegetables and lean protein, in addition to superfoods to ensure good health.

March is National Nutrition Month, which focuses on health through good nutrition. If you would like to know more about what should be on your plate please visit www.eatright.org or www.ChooseMyPlate.gov.

I hope this information has been helpful to you and as always, “May the Source be with You.”

grand Sunday episode when she bopped a CNA with her cast causing the worker to miss three days’ work without pay. Then later she declared loudly someone touched an untouchable part of her body when put-ting on the safety belt around her. I missed that too, but I heard the nurse quizzing her about it and then minced no words at tell-ing her how uncooperative she was. I didn’t see any change. God bless the CNAs that always treated her with respect no matter how she acted.

She never really directed much negative to me until she expressed great fear that I was spreading germs when I had a cough-ing spell. We both had the croup that spread through the facility. Mine just hung along a little longer that hers. When she suggested the bathroom be sanitized after I used it, so she could brush her teeth, I had enough.

When an opening came up in a room with a friend from our mobile home park I said, “Hallelujah” and was on my way with tears of joy.

Oh, I must mention my boohoo spells. Just out of the blue, for no reason I could see, the tears flowed and the chest heaved with great sobs. They really threw me for I am not a crier. I must say they lessened when I moved. Poor Ray, I think they made him shed a tear too.

The last eleven days, with my very con-siderate friend, flew by as compared to the first tormented two weeks.

When I next saw Alice in the therapy room, she asked if I left because of her, I kind of mumbled something. My Christian spirit hung in there enough to greet her kindly when we crossed paths there.

Ray came faithfully twice a day. At night he helped get me ready for bed, tucked me in and hoped I did not have any of my sob-bings. I can say for sure that absence makes the heart go founder.

And about the expected pain, the boohoo experience completely overshadowed any pain I had. Sure it was more than any surgery, but nothing I could not routinely handle. I had to really work to get the 115 degree bend back, but I made it. Thanks to my daily sessions with my physical thera-pist. I went back to rehab for three weeks more of therapy. When I left the last day, I felt like I was leaving friends behind. I had great care.

So now I am up and about. Oh, my back won’t let me stand too long, but I can get where I am going without any pain. And I feel ambitious again. I have a big list of projects, mostly sit down ones, but I feel my worth.

And that pleases me very much.

Exotic tour: Seniors who were never able to afford or spare the time for an extensive vacation may now want to visit those exotic locations that have beckoned for years.

Now could be the time to book a ticket for Europe and visit all of the cities that have made the history books.

Those looking for even more adven-ture can travel to the South Pacific and explore tropical islands. Others may want to go "down under" and experi-ence the rugged Outback or the culture of Australian city centers.

With a bevy of free time and fewer restrictions holding them back, seniors could be ready for the next great travel adventure.

A publication of LifeTime Resources Inc., where our mission is, “Working together to provide services that help people maintain their independence.”

Dear Friends, Women in America have come a long way in the last century. After all, before 1920 we were not allowed to vote. Now, not only can we vote, we can hold public office and even run for President of the United States. Many people don't realize the struggles women have overcome to achieve their success. They have been doubted, ridiculed, beaten and imprisoned just to have similar rights to those of their male counterparts. Through all this, they have gained ground in not only voting rights, but also educational, social, and professional opportunities. Women now have greater

access to higher education, can play high school, college and professional sports, and become CEO's to large companies. All of this because of a few outspoken women who broke the boundaries of tradition. In times of war, companies began to rely on women in the workforce

in place of men who had gone abroad to fight. Women were even called on to play baseball in a professional league. While both endeavors may have been short-lived, it demonstrated to both the country and themselves what women could do, and blazed a trail for future generations. As a woman and the Executive Director of an agency that recognizes equal opportunity employment, I have seen the amazing contributions of women in the workforce. The majority of the LifeTime's staff is comprised of female workers who work diligently to make the lives of our customers better. March is Women's History Month. Please be sure to read the article below about Alice Maxwell, a local resident who worked at Boeing during World War II, and at one point was even a "Rosie the Riveter"; and join LifeTime in celebrating the contributions of women over the years.

Sincerely, Sally

A Letter from the Executive Director

Sally Beckley Executive Director

Batesville resident, Alice Maxwell, always knew she wanted to work. Brought up on a farm in South Dakota, she worked the land driving tractors. She graduated from high school in 1943, and instantly started looking for a job. "I did not want to go to college," she said. In 1944, her sister was engaged to a sailor and moved to Seattle. Alice decided to follow her and look for a job. There were so many jobs available. She tried looking for work at many places, but people looked at her petite frame and doubted that she was up for the task. "They all laughed at me because I was so small and so skinny," she said. She finally got a job at Boeing Aviation in March of 1944. Alice was immediately trained to be a "Rosie the Riveter," fusing bolts into planes that would go to war. The moniker was commonly used for women who worked in the factories for the war effort. As men went off to the Pacific and Europe to fight in World War II, companies needed workers to help build planes and assemble ammunitions. The federal government looked to women to fill the void, and encouraged them to work with a propaganda campaign, promoting a fictional

character called "Rosie the Riveter." The image of "Rosie" was plastered on posters depicting a young woman flexing her bicep with all her might, saying "We Can Do It!" Women, even mothers of young children, worked the jobs that men would normally work because the labor force was so limited. They cautioned young unmarried women not to make a career out of it, because men would not want to marry them. Working mothers were often blamed for a rise in juvenile delinquency. After the war, the factory jobs the women had held, were given back to the men coming home from war. Many women were either shown the door back home or forced into traditional female occupations. Alice, however, was not a "Rosie" for very long. After about a week of riveting training, her boss became worried about her being exposed to the filthy language used by male workers on the factory floor. "Almost anything can happen to a naïve young girl from South Dakota," referencing a time when she accidentally got into the wrong car with a few strange men thinking it was her supervisor picking her up to go to work. "There were a lot of

She said there were huge containers full of air hoses they would check for holes, and it could get quite boring. She eventually started working in the Inspector's Office doing clerical work and passing out paychecks.

As the Baby Boomer generation enters retirement age, there has been an increased demand for services that meet the needs of this segment of the population.

Amenities such as active-living communities that boast top-of-the-line features typically are the first things individuals seek.

Age-restricted, 55-plus communi-ties cater to what the name implies -- people who are age 55 and older. However, these home developments are a far cry from what they used to be.

Now they rival some of the best resorts in their features and are de-signed entirely around the needs of a group of active, amenity driven people.

Plus, considering there now are more Americans age 65 and older than in any other point in history, ac-cording to the U.S. Census Bureau, developers understand the benefits of catering to this group of people.

Therefore, there are more high-end active-living communities now than ever before.

There are many choices with re-gard to active adult retirement com-munities. Many of these develop-ments boast everything from de-tached, single-family homes to villas to condominiums.

These residences are built with the active adult in mind. Here are some

of the benefits that these communi-ties boast.

Community companionship

Due to the age-restricted nature of active-adult-home-developments, the residents are all in a similar age range, and may have similar inter-ests.

At a time in life when friend-ships from work may waver due to retirement, and older children may be busy with their own lives, these communities can help foster new friendships.

Whether through community-sponsored activities or just through home proximity, residents can enjoy one another's company and never worry about feeling lonely into their retirement years.

Low- or no-maintenance living

One of the biggest attractions to active-adult living is that these homes are built to provide worry-free living.

Included in the home ownership fees are provisions to take care of much of the interior and exterior maintenance.

That means should a pipe leak or the lawn needs mowing, maintenance

staff rather than the homeowner will handle the problem.

This peace of mind enables resi-dents to pursue interests rather than worry about the upkeep on their homes.

Many times the community is ex-pertly manicured, helping to create an aesthetically pleasing environ-ment.

Activity-based funMany communities build activi-

ties into the living plan. Therefore, there may be a work-

out room, the game center, exercise classes, movie nights, and many other attractions to keep residents busy.

Active-adult communities may be similar to all-inclusive vacations and cruises in that they have their own activities coordinator on staff.

Should residents prefer solo ac-tivities, the property on which these homes are built are often created with recreation in mind.

There can be walking paths or areas for cycling. Pools and spas are often part of the living package as well.

SecurityIndividuals who are no longer

bogged down with work require-ments may be more likely to take

vacations or go visiting. In a tradi-tional home, there may be worries about leaving the home unattended for a period of time.

However, in 55-plus residences, homes may be in gated communi-ties or have security patrols.

Also, the sheer number of homes in a townhouse-style building can camouflage homes that are cur-rently vacant, easing the minds of those who are planning on going away.

Concierge servicesSome of the more exclusive com-

munities may have staff who can help with everything from booking vacations to helping with moving details.

There also are developments that offer transitional homes, and some-one may be available to help with the transition from an active-style home to one that has nursing staff or assisted living offerings at that time in life when it is needed.

Active-living communities offer many of the features that recently retired people seek in homes that do not compromise on amenities.

Individuals who are looking for comfortable, maintenance-free homes often seek out these devel-opments for the convenience and services they offer

Did you know?The Baby Boomer generation is one of the most influential demographics in the world today. Boomers represent roughly 28 percent of the total population of the United States, according to "Baby Boomer" magazine, and this means they are the largest generational segment as well as the single largest economic group in the United States. They hold 70 percent of the U.S. wealth and are expected to inherit millions of dollars over the course of the next 20 years.Baby boomers comprise a population of adults who were born between 1946 and 1954. That makes boomers people who are between 49 and 67 years old. Many of these baby boomers have grown to be household names and influential individuals in all areas of business. Actor Brad Pitt is a baby boomer, as is President of the United States Barack Obama. Director Peter Jackson, singer k.d. lang and business mogul Donald Trump all belong to the baby boomer generation. Here are some additional facts and figures about baby boomers:

■Baby boomers have more discretionary income than any other age group. ■Baby boomers own 80 percent of the money in savings and loan associations. ■Baby boomers spend more money than other groups. ■Baby boomers account for nearly half of all consumer demand. ■Baby boomers have been known to have an unprecedented impact on American culture,

society and the economy, and that influence is bound to continue for several more years.

Rest easy, Billy McCool fans.After some crossed wires in at-

tempting to contact the former Cin-cinnati Reds National League Rook-ie Pitcher of the Year (1964) and NL All-Star (1966), McCool, now 68 and retired in Summerfield, Fla., for the past eight years, made it to Indianapolis in plenty of time for his induction as the 163rd member of the Indiana Baseball Hall of Fame Friday.

“It was a real surprise,” said Law-renceburg's most famous lefthander, a 1962 LHS graduate, whose off-the-cuff acceptance speech paid tribute to the legendary Pat O'Neill, his

former baseball and Indiana Football Hall of Fame coach.

“Basically, this award isn't about me so much,” said McCool, articu-late and well-spoken as ever, during evening ceremonies at the Sheraton Hotel and Conference Center at Key-stone at the Crossing in Indy.

“Coaches are the ones who count. If it wasn't for my coaches over the years, I'm not standing here tonight. Most of the credit for what I was able to do later as a professional baseball player goes to Pat O'Neill, who coached me from the time I was nine years old in Little League, through Knothole ball, high school and American Legion.”

McCool, who had a brief stint as a TV sports anchor at Dayton's WKEF

after injuries cut short his major league career in 1970, went on.

“Pat had this teaching aid that he used, not just at baseball practice in the spring, but in every sport he coached – baseball, football and bas-ketball – as well as in the classroom.

“It looked like a six or seven-foot boat oar that had been cut down to the size of a paddle, about 2-1/2 to three feet long. The blade of it had about 15-20 half-inch holes drilled all the way through.

“If you weren't paying attention, you'd get hit on the butt with that thing. Skin would be squeezed up through those little holes, making you very uncomfortable. As a kid of that age, of course, you think you know everything. Pat's little love taps made it so he'd never have to remind you a second time.”

O'Neill didn't discriminate be-tween athletes or students with his little “reminders,” either, McCool noted.

“He ran the Tate Street swimming pool in the summers. Everybody was supposed to stand up there and put your feet in an antiseptic bath before they could enter the pool. It didn't matter who you were. If you made the mistake not to wash your feet, you met Pat's teaching aid. A lot of kids felt the wrath of the paddle that way. Of course, you could never get away with Pat's methods these days.”

Moving in together is something typically associated with young cou-ples, but more and more unmarried men and women over the age of 50 are choosing to cohabitate. Ac-cording to an analysis of 2012 U.S. Census data conducted by the Perfor-mance Reference Bureau, roughly 10 percent of the 15.3 million opposite-sex unmarried cohabiting partners in the United States are between the ages of 55 and 64, while 15 percent are between the ages of 45 and 54.

Such figures indicate that living together as an unmarried couple is no longer exclusive to younger couples.

The incentives for older, unmar-ried couples to cohabitate are similar to those for younger ones, but older couples should heed a few financial pointers before deciding to move in together.

Iron out the financial details ahead of time.

Young couples who move in to-gether often do so as a precursor to getting married.

Such couples do not typically have much in the way of financial assets

and, as a result, do not need to come to any formal agreement regarding their finances. Older couples, how-ever, might be bringing a more sub-stantial financial portfolio into the relationship, and these finances can complicate matters. Before moving in together, older couples should docu-ment their finances and how house-hold expenses, including a mortgage if one exists, will be paid.

Decisions regarding who will re-ceive the tax breaks you might be eligible for when paying a mortgage should also be considered.

Documenting your financial situ-ation can protect your assets should you break up. If these arrangements are not documented, unmarried cou-ples who break up could find them-selves in a contentious financial bat-tle not unlike couples going through a divorce.

Maintain some financial indepen-dence. Older, unmarried men and women who choose to cohabitate with their partners should still main-tain some financial independence after moving in together.

A joint checking or savings account might work down the road, but ini-tially keep these accounts separate to avoid any disputes. Keep paying your own bills, including car payments and credit cards, at the onset as well.

Update certain documents and poli-cies. Upon your death, a partner with whom you cohabitate does not have the same legal rights of inheritance as

would a spouse. As a result, it's important for un-

married individuals who cohabitate with their partners to update their wills, especially if they have been cohabitating for an extended period of time and want their partner to be taken care of in case of their death.

In addition to updating information

Unmarried couples living together not just for 'young,' so consider legal, financial issues

and Megan (Mayo), 42, and sone Andy, 39, McCool's table guests also included longtime Lawrence-burg pal Pete Zaharako and cousin Tom (Copper) McCool.

The ex-major leaguer turned seri-ous in his tribute to former coach O'Neill, who retired in 1967 and died in 1989 in Florida.

“I can't begin to describe what Pat meant to my career,” McCool continued. “Yeah, I had some abil-ity. As a nine-year old, I threw the ball fairly hard. But my catcher was rarely able to catch it. Four years later, Pat's teaching methods finally got through to me about what it takes to be a pitcher.”

McCool recalled a simple, but in-genious device – one of several uti-lized by O'Neill over the years – that helped Lawrenceburg hurlers paint the strike zone.

“It was another one of his teaching aids, just a rope lattice that he strung up over home plate, the same size as the strike zone. As a pitcher, your first goal was to throw the ball inside that box, 10 to 20 times in a row. Once you had mastered that, Pat had you do the same thing, only hitting the knots on the outside corners. Nobody is that accurate that you could hit the knots every time. But it taught you how to throw to areas.

“I was just really, really fortunate

to have Pat O'Neill as my coach growing up.”

McCool's meteoric rise to profes-sional stardom took just one season. Signed by the Reds in 1963, the hard-throwing 6'2” lefty started his brief minor league stint with the Class A Tampa Tarpons, posting a 5-13 record and two-something ERA despite the fact that “my high school team was better than that one,” as he put it.

Elevated to Triple A San Diego Padres of the Pacific Coast League halfway through the season, Mc-Cool's 4-0 record and 1.40 ERA prompted Reds general manager Phil Seghi to call him up when the major league rosters expanded in Septem-ber, 1963.

McCool made the big league club out of spring training in 1964, at the age of 20, posting a 6-5 record and 2.42 ERA for manager Fred Hutchinson's team. He went on to win 23 more games, primarily in relief, over the next four seasons as a Red.

Indiana Baseball Hall of Fame, recently doubled in size at its Jas-per location, inducted Billy McCool with a 2013 class that included long-time major league outfielder Kenny Lofton and the late Dave Niehaus, Seattle Mariners radio voice.

regarding beneficiaries, older men and women might want to update certain information regarding their health, like who should take legal responsibility for medical decisions should one partner become incapaci-tated.

In addition to updating your will, update any existing life insurance policies and retirement benefits to include your partner if you so desire.

Discuss any changes with your family, especially any children. When you make changes to your will, those changes will affect your beneficiaries.

Upon making these changes, dis-cuss them with your existing benefi-ciaries so your partner does not have to deal with relatives whose feelings might be hurt upon your death.

This might not be an easy discus-sion, but you will want your partner to have your family as a support sys-tem upon your death.

Older, unmarried couples are choosing to cohabitate more and more.

While the incentives to doing so are numerous, there are some precau-tionary measures couples should take before moving in together.

As part of its ongoing commu-nity out-reach effort, the South Dear-born Community School Community School Corporation will not be hold-ing its next few board meetings at its normal location on the school’s main campus.

Superintendent Dr. John Mehrle said he and the school board are working toward increasing channels of communication with the greater South Dearborn School Community and building school-community part-nerships.

Rotating the location of the next few school board meetings are part of this effort. South Dearborn’s board meetings are generally held the first Monday of each month, beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Due to Labor Day week, the Sep-tember meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 10, in Dillsboro. The Monday, Oct. 1, meeting will

take place at Moores Hill with the Monday, Nov. 5, meeting at Man-chester.

Mehrle envisions even having some of the meetings in city or town buildings from time-to-time for com-munity input, he said.Mehrle does a monthly podcast that

is posted on the school’s website. He is also working with the school’s web site vendor to enhance the school’s web site, provide more information, and make it more user-friendly to the public. “We’ll be placing ‘customer sat-

isfaction; surveys on site geared to obtaining community/parent feedback that will be used in discussing school programming and school improve-ment efforts. Board minutes are now being placed on the website as well,” said Mehrle.Mehrle and the school board have

scheduled a retreat at the end of Sep-tember to develop broad-based school corporation goals. Enhancing school-community part-

nerships and communication will cer-tainly be part of the discussion.

Saturday, Sept. 15, local folks will have a chance to see a “horse whisperer” take an unbroken horse and convince it to willingly accept bridle, saddle, and rider.They'll also be able to eat and judge local-

made chili, enjoy live modern gospel music and bid on donated items.There's only one hitch: an unbroken horse

is still needed for the Wild Horse Ministries' “Round Pen of Life” demonstration, said Shir-ley Smith, coordinator. Smith, co-owner of Stables of Hope, 11144

U.S. 50, Dillsboro, said folks who have a horse that qualifies may call her at 812-432-3217. She will put all the names in a hat and draw one for Paul Daily, founder of WHM, to work with.

The horse owner has to bring the horse to the Lawrenceburg Fairgrounds, however, so she expects the animal will be halter-broke.

Freewill donations to Daily at the Round Pen demonstration will go to WHM; other donations and proceeds will go to Stables of Hope. The nonprofit organization for children and adults of special needs uses horses to help those special-needs folks.In the Round Pen of Life, Daily takes a

green horse through 10 steps he likens to God's relationships with mankind as he works.

Steps include the expectation of not expect-ing an untrained horse – or a person – to do or be more than he is capable of; to trust; to ac-cept, not rebel; and others.That demonstration will be at 10:30 a.m.

Saturday, Sept. 15, as the fundraiser kicks off at Lawrenceburg Fairgrounds, U.S. 50 East, Lawrenceburg.Meanwhile, chili competitors will be pro-

ducing their brew, with the chili cook-off eating – and voting – to begin at 11 a.m., said Smith.

Folks attending the fundraiser will be asked to sample the various batches of chili and vote for their favorite with monetary donations. The chili cook(s) getting the most money – all of which will benefit Stables of Hope – will re-ceive a plaque declaring: “Best Chili in South-east Indiana.”Chili cook-off entry forms, with a $5 entry

fee, must be received by Smith by Monday, Sept. 10. Call her at 812-432-3217 for an entry form.

Music at the event, which goes till 2:30 p.m., will be provided by Four Seasons and individual singers.First prize in the raffle is a fiddle with a case

signed by The Grascals; second prize in $100; and third prize is $75. An Auction of Hope will offer afghans, paintings and more, with donated items still accepted and appreciated, said Smith.

The auction also will include grab bags. “They'll be like little mystery bags,” she said.

For more information about the fundraiser or to donate items, call Smith at the number above.

cle at 11:09 a.m. on U.S. 50 at Sycamore Estates Drive in front of Taco Bell, 1020 Green Blvd. The Aurora and Lawrenceburg fire depart-

ments put out the fire, and Aurora police and life squad as well as Dearborn County Sheriff’s deputies and Dearborn County Emergency

Management were busy with traffic injuries, and monitoring run-off into storm drains. The Indiana Department of Transportation pro-

vided an arrow board to help direct traffic, which was still snarled at 2 p.m. APD Sgt. Mike Prudenti and Officer Bill Halbig are investi-
