    During a month in which we celebrate Mother’s Day, families formed through adoption are more common in Indiana compared with other states.

    According to the National Council for Adoption, Indiana has the nation’s fourth highest rate of adoption per live births, the ninth highest rate of adoption per nonmarital births, and the eleventh highest rate of adoption per 100,000 adults.

    Portions of my face, especially the back of my neck and my ears, were peeling last week, the result of a careless few hours in the sun.

    I felt like quite the hypocrite since I regularly preach sun awareness and skin-cancer prevention,

    I applied sunscreen twice during my time under a hot May sun. But I sweat a lot and the protection melted during the day.

  • Take time to observe the spirit of Memorial Day

    Memorial Day is approaching and we hope Perry Countians will commit a portion of the upcoming long weekend to recalling the heroism of the men and women who gave their lives in service to our land.

    Unfortunately, Memorial Day risks being crowded out by so many other activities: graduations, vacations, even auto racing. We know the first summer holiday is a busy time for everyone, but we encourage individuals and families to honor fallen and living veterans.

  • As summer nears, some plants savor the shade

    It is strange, but true ... people often refer to shade as a problem.  How many times have you heard of people desperately searching for that one magic thing they can do to get grass to grow underneath a pin oak?

    Why can’t we just accept the fact that it just isn’t possible and move on to better things?

  • Did you buy a pool from a Siberia-area sale?

    I want to say a big thank you to everyone who came and supported my yard sale for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

    We had a oblong swimming pool for sale and someone bought it. Later I found one of the plugs and would like to get it to the person who bought it. Please call me at (812) 357-2400.  

    The yard sale was at 1980 State Road 62, Siberia or 3 1/2 miles east of St. Meinrad.  We are planning another yard sale for Oct. 2-4.  

    We hope you can help us again.
