At one time, the word fat invoked a feeling of negativity, a bad word, a macronutrient we should be afraid of. While science is of great importance, it should be viewed with skepticism. The low/no fat era taught us this.
The St. Meinrad American Legion Post 366 & Ladies Auxiliary will be having its annual Memorial Service at the Doolittle Mills Cemetery in Doolittle Mills this coming Sunday morning, May 28, 2023. The group should arrive at approximately 7:20 a.m. CST. Everyone is welcome to attend and sh…

“Tomato 101” is for beginners and advanced gardeners alike. There are many assumptions about the tomato that get passed on by the most well-meaning aficionado and I would like to address the most fundamental. I take my tomatoes seriously and have developed a routine to hedge my bets for a he…
Protein is an essential macronutrient and should be included in adequate amounts of the daily diet for every cell in the human body. Protein is derived from the Greek proteios, or primary. The name is fitting as, after water, protein is the most plentiful component of our body.
Hopefully all the mothers had a wonderful Mother’s Day celebration over the week-end. Several had cookouts with family and friends, and the weather was nice for all the outdoor activities.

Proper nutrition entails eating many different foods, monitoring your consumption of some food and beverage items, and keeping an eye on calories. I don’t like to recommend you count calories. Rather, I’d like to see you count your nutrients. Good diets offer balanced nutrition that nourish …
I am an egotistical recovering alcoholic/addict with an inferiority complex. If this sounds like a contradiction, it is.
It used to be that parsley was the only garnish found on dinner plates or buffet tables, it originally was intended as a breath freshener but over the years it was relegated to being a simple ornamental garnish that was the only thing left on the plate after the meal was complete. As chefs b…
There was a large crowd of people who attended the House of Prayer picnic and hymn that was held this past Saturday. It was a beautiful day for the outdoor gathering. A delicious meal was enjoyed by all. There was lots of good singing by several musicians. A good time of fellowship was enjoy…

Don’t get old! Ah I’m just getting old … when you’re my age … you know you’re getting old when … .”
It used to be that parsley was the only garnish found on dinner plates or buffet tables, it originally was intended as a breath freshener but over the years, it was relegated to being a simple ornamental garnish that was the only thing left on the plate after the meal was complete.
This past Sunday afternoon, Mary Ann Nixon and I took a drive and done some sightseeing. We also stopped at the French Lick Cabins at Patoke Lake and viewed the new big Sasquatch. It looked very nice and several people were stopping to see it.
In the rooms of recovery, we have, at times, a speaker meeting. This meeting is designed to hear the story — “what it was like, what happened and what’s it like now” of an individual that has been to hell and back and lived to tell about it. Typically the “member” will have a significant amo…
If you live in an apartment or can’t find the time to plant a garden of your favorite annuals, or if you have simply run out of room on your patio or in your garden, have you ever considered creating a window box or two?
Several people from this area were out and about this past week-end to attend some of the Perry County Dogwood festivals. It was a nice week-end for the outdoor activities.
A baby shower was held at the St. Croix Parish Hall in St. Croix this past Sunday afternoon for Tylor and Tiffany (Hensley) Beckman of Doolittle Mills. Several people attended the gathering and showered the couple with gifts and best wishes to welcome the new baby. The couple is expecting a …
We are enjoying our spring flower bulbs right now and so far, the display has been a good one. It is now time to consider what kind of summer bulbs you may want to include in the garden scheme for the rest of the season. Once the soil temperature warms a bit and we reach the frost-free day (…
The Birdseye Conservation Club Annual Membership Supper will be held this coming Saturday evening, April 22, at the club on Conservation Club Road near Birdseye.
In active addiction, my future was non-existent. I had no goals, no plans, and no hope. I was way too old to have that much nothing. The fear was debilitating. My thoughts and actions were only how to sustain that addiction.
Hopefully everyone had a safe and blessed Easter as they celebrated with family and friends. The weather was nice for outdoor activities.
From the week of Thursday, April 6:
If you have never had a vegetable garden before, this year is the year to do it. Grocery prices are encouragement enough! Don’t be timid; people have been cultivating plants for thousands of years. Start small, grow a few plants of only vegetables that you know you like and that you know how…
Mulch has become a landscape staple, almost to a fault when it is over applied, smothering roots and girdling trunks. When done properly, it can help to suppress weeds, retain moisture, and moderate soil temperature.
Happy Easter to the Bristow community.
For those who are interested in the Doolittle Mills Cemetery, the annual financial report was printed recently in The Perry County News Monday, March 20, on page 3. There is also a copy of the report posted on the bulletin board at the Bethel Christian Church in Doolittle Mills. If you didn’…
In the world of recovery, we speak and live in terms of life and death. The saddest fact of addiction is the daily potential for dying. Dying from a drug overdose or liver failure. Dying by suicide or unnatural causes. Death will find us one way or another. It will not be a peaceful or honor…
Hopefully everyone from the area school district enjoyed their time off for Spring Break this past week-end. Several took trips while some just enjoyed area activities and spending time at home.
The hostas and daylilies are barely poking out of the ground and I’m already noticing signs of slug activity! The primrose and lungwort have been munched on; bagworms are dangling from the pines and the next generation of borers are stirring beneath the bark getting ready to emerge and repro…
The Bethel Christian Church in Doolittle Mills will be having special services for the upcoming Easter Holiday. There will be a Good Friday evening service Friday, April 7, at 6 p.m. CST with a dedication of the Cross; and a Sunrise Service on Resurrection Sunday, April 9, at 6 a.m. CST. Bro…
The race to legalize pot is close to the finish line. Numerous states have already done so. They have welcomed the cannabis money train into the station. The tax revenue alone is worth millions. Mom-and-pop shops have hit the jackpot.
Pay no attention to the man behind the screen, or should I say on the screen. Commercials for lawn fertilizers show up on the airwaves this time of the year promising the perfect lawn if you apply this product or that. In fact, keeping a healthy attractive lawn is not that complicated if you…
My spring break ritual of planting potatoes is this week. The time off from teaching conveniently falls during my target date for planting onions and potatoes. I typically manage a mid-March planting, but the condition of the soil is my primary concern. I will not start digging until the soi…
There are no classes scheduled in our school district of Perry Central this coming week, March 20-24, due to Spring Break. I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable vacation. School is scheduled to resume Monday morning, March 27.
The following definition of the word recovery was taken from dictionary.com and reads: “The regaining of or the possibility of regaining something lost or taken away.” That definition for the “normal” folks that inhabit this world could mean something as simple as a lost item of clothing. Or…
This past Saturday afternoon, my daughter and son-in-law, Peggy and Jeff Eckert, traveled to Mitchell and enjoyed a meal at the railroad cafe. Afterwards, we went to the Mitchell Opry House and enjoyed a show of Lloyd Wood. Lloyd put on a good show as usual. We enjoyed the show very much.
Before long, the growing season will be in full gear. I like to be somewhat prepared with the necessary tools of the trade before I need them, so this time of the year I take stock of what’s in storage, in the barn or on the shelf of the potting bench.
The Birdseye Volunteer Fire Department will be having its annual Shooting Match this coming Sunday, March 12, at the Birdseye Conservation Club near Birdseye. Ham Shoot at 10 a.m. CST with Closed Match at 2 p.m. CST. First choice is whole beef; second choice is half beef, with beef & por…
I am a product of the ’70s. The drugs I took were also a product of the ‘70s. The expected outcome was usually always the same.
Indiana is wrestling with a housing problem. Mayors across the state grapple with ways to get new homes built in their communities. Last year, the Indiana Legislature convened a task force that listened to several groups outline their perspectives. One result is that in this session of the G…
Happy belated anniversary wishes go to Bryson and Hannah Hubert. Hannah and Bryson celebrated their wedding anniversary on Tuesday, Feb. 21. Best wishes go to the couple.
Two things that can set you back in the vegetable garden from the start: poorly prepared soil and seedlings set out too early. Soil temperature has a great deal to do with how well your crops germinate, establish and produce.
It is hard to believe that Easter is just over a month away. Mark your calendar for upcoming Easter services at the Bethel Christian Church in Doolittle Mills. There will be a Good Friday evening service on Friday, April 7, at 6 p.m. CST and a Sunrise Service on Resurrection Sunday, April 9,…
My orders for onion sets and seed potatoes will arrive mid-March and will be planted when soil conditions are right; my favorite summer crops that will be directly seeded in the garden are still in their seed packets waiting for consistently warm weather before they find purchase in the soil.
As a parent who has had my share of challenges raising my children, the need to keep me on my toes was an everyday pursuit for my daughters.
What’s your most serious concern as a parent? It probably depends on the age of your child.
Several readers have asked what is happening in labor markets and why it is so difficult to find workers. That’s a common concern in the post-COVID world and is worthy of a deep dive into labor market data. The Indiana experience is similar to many states, but with a few notable twists.
Many of us are guilty of overusing social media and ignoring its negative impact on our mental health.
