Navy Bean Festival a Successful, Fun-Filled Weekend
Weather, Food, Music and Events make for best weekend ever!
The weather cooperated to make the 2008 Navy Bean Festival in
downtown Rising Sun the most successful in its history. Hundreds turned
out both Friday and Saturday to taste the delicious foods available along
Main Street and Front Street, including hundreds of gallons of fresh,
hot Navy Beans cooked over an open fire until they ran out on Saturday
afternoon. It was a warm, sunny day to ride the rides and play the
games up and down the streets turned midway.
The big draw for Friday night was The Kentucky Headhunters, a
band from Edmonton, Kentucky, well-known for their 1990 hit Dumas
Walker, which led to CMA Album of the Year and Vocal Group of the
Year and a Grammy for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group
with Vocal in 1990. The band country-rocked their way through originals
and some old warhorses like Big Boss Man, Louisana CoCo, Rock
On and Take These Chains From My Heart, and ballads like Back to
the Sun and Lonely Nights. New cuts from their 2006 album Flying

Saturday brought more sunshine, a parade, a gravy and biscuit
breakfast, more beans and other delicious foods, and more games and
fun. Saturday afternoon Little Texas entertained the crowd. They
opresnted their 1991 hit Some Guys Have All the Love, which peaked
at #8 on Billboard, the Number One single My Love, You and Forever

Plans are already underway for the 2009 Navy Bean Festival,
held the second weekend of October (October 11 & 12). You are invited
to bring your family down to Main and Front Streets for a wonderful
weekend on the riverfront!
Rising Sun was given special recognition for Heritage Preservation.
Church to the New Heritage Hall. The judges were
impressed with the structure and the towns efforts to
restore it as well as find alternative uses for it to make it
a vibrant part of the community. While the judges were
here they not only toured Heritage Hall, but also had a
dinner meeting inside it, along with representatives from
Aurora and Greendale.
The city of Rising Sun was also complimented on
its floral display and volunteer efforts. We received our
scoring information and suggestions for the upcoming
year.
While winning one of the categories would be
wonderful and an affirmation of the good things
happening here, it is hard to believe Rising Sun has not
already won, regardless of the contest outcome. Our
neighboring Greendale took the honors for population
5000 and under. If you are interested in participating
with the America in Bloom committee please call Janie
Eldridge at 438-1230 or email at
denversiekmanep@yahoo.com we will be having a 2008
follow-up meeting in November and a organizational
meeting in January. Watch for upcoming information on
those dates and times.

MAYORS CORNER
Last month I mentioned several things happening in our community. The Navy Bean
Festival was coming up and it turned out to be a success for this community. Great music, rides
and booths were there besides the great bean soup.
I am very happy for our community because we won the category for Community Heritage
Preservation in the American in Bloom contest. I believe the Heritage Hall restoration helped us
in that category. We have won four of the eight categories the four years that we have been in
this contest. I think that is fantastic for a small community of our size. Each year we see a few
more flowers and trees planted and just an all-out commitment by volunteers and you folks
making this happen. It could not happen without all of you. I thank all of you from the bottom
of my heart. I believe we have the best community in southeastern Indiana.
Several of us attended The Indiana Association of Cities and Towns conference in South
Bend. We each went to different workshops and roundtable discussion on current hot topics:
Breathe New Life into your Community, Air and Energy Conservation Programs, Applying
21st-century Technology Makes Energy, Environmental and Economic Sense. These are just
some of the mobile workshops that were attended.
Also, I did attend the Conference of Mayors. Most discussions were on theupcoming
session of the General Assembly and what we might expect. I am also part of the legislative
committee as is Rae for the clerk treasurers. All of us had full schedules of workshops to attend
beside committee meetings.
The drainage project along Main Street to Henrietta to Second to Mulberry corner is
pretty much wrapping up by the time this article comes out. They should have completed the
blacktopping of those streets along the drainage areas and this should be a little better especially
for you folks who use the new library.
Hopefully by the time this article comes out the new sidewalk from Fifth St to Lincoln
Street will be completed. This will make a safer environment for folks walking along State
Route 56 to Lincoln Street. I do appreciate the property owners allowing us the right of way to
Mayor Bill Marksberry
install a sidewalk along there. I hope that we will be able to add sidewalks on up through that
City of Rising Sun
section of the city for folks so that they do not have to walk on the streets
Again, I ask for everybody to keep our men and women in the armed services in their
prayers and ask God to watch over our community.

Ohio County Animal Shelter
START TALKING BEFORE THEY
START USING!
90%of prevention is helping young people form close, healthy
relationships with their family, school and community, the other 10%
is realizing that they are not as mature as you would like to think. Their
brains are still developing, and they are prone to act impulsively, do
things to fit in with the crowd, or take unnecessary risks.
Heres how:
a) Tell your child how you feel about them using alcohol or drugs,
let them know that you disapprove and believe it is dangerous
and unhealthy. During the month of September our local library ran a donation clinic
b) Set a good example; match your words with your actions. Help Fido. This picture is just a small portion of the results. A big thank
you.
c) Learn to really listen to your child. Let them know they can
always talk to you.
d) Help your child develop self-confidencethey will need it to
stand up against peer pressure
e) Tell your child that alcohol, tobacco and other drug use is
illegal!
f) Talk to your children about what they see on TV, music videos,
and on the web.
g) Keep track of home alcohol supplies (most kids get their
alcohol from home)
h) Get to know your childs friends and their families. Check in
with them.
i) Get your child involved in extracurricular activities.
QUESTION: What substances are used most by young people?
ANSWER: Marijuana, alcohol and tobacco.
Kids say these drugs are easy to get. Many kids report using
these drugs long before they are teenagers, often as young as in middle
school, or even before. Parents - Dont wait until its too late!
We are also concerned about the increased use of Inhalants,
which include readily available household products like:
a) Solvents - Paint thinners and removers, gasoline, glues,
correction fluid, markers
b) Gases - nitrous lighter fluid, propane, cooling system fluids
c) Aerosols - spray paint, hair and deodorant sprays, whipped
cream, computer keyboard cleaner
And over-the-counter and prescription medications, which
include things like:
a) Cough Syrups
b) Cold or Allergy Remedies This is a lost poodle that was caught on Horton Road,in Ohio county..
c) Prescription Painkillers A full blooded ,young dog,aproximatley 45 pounds.
d) Muscle Relaxants
e) Stimulants
These are often obtained from the family medicine cabinet.
Know the law: Indiana law states that no one, not even parents,
may serve alcohol to anyone under the age of 21.
Consequences:
a) Providing minors with alcoholJail up to 60 days,
fines up to $500
b) Purchase or possession of alcohol by a minor
Jail up to 60 days and/or fines up to $500
c) Possession of other drugs (Penalties vary by
drug and quantity)Jail up to 18 months,
fines up to $10,000.
d) MarijuanaJail up to 1 year, fines up
to $5,000

DSEP Hosts OCS&WCD
Field Day for OCEMS 4th Grade
Seventy-eight fourth graders participated in the Annual Ohio County Soil
& Water Conservation District Conservation Day. Students learned about chemical
awareness, erosion, recycling, and facts about water, water safety and composting.
They also had the opportunity to take a short hike and explore nature.
The Denver Siekman Environmental Park Board is pleased to announce
that 884 youth have had the opportunity to participate in an educational program
at the park so far this year.
Volunteer Bonnie Schreiner talks with the students
about the wetland area during Field Day at DSEP
We have scheduled for the remainder
of the fall three preschool classes, 2nd graders,
1st graders, and the 6th through 8th graders. This
has been a busy year for the Denver Siekman
Environmental Park and we are pleased that
we will potentially accomplish a goal that was
visualized in 2001 that each grade 1st through
8th would have the opportunity to experience
the park
It is our belief that we must give our
youth the opportunity to experience the
outdoors to be able to appreciate nature.
If you like what we are doing at the park
or have suggestions please let us know. Call
438-1230 or email
denversiekmanep@yahoo.com. If you would
like to make a donation you may make checks
payable to DSEP. Send to DSEP 3334 Walston
Rd. Rising Sun, IN 47040. All donations are
tax deductible.

Historic Downtown:
From the Directors Desk
At the Indiana Main Street Conference in Bloomington, Indiana
on October 18, 2008 one of our very own is receiving a nice recognition.
Karrah Miller was honored with being the Staff Member of the Year
from all the Main Streets in Indiana. Karrah has held the Main Street
Program together this year. She has continued the programs while
guiding three new directors. I appreciate all that she has done and
continues to do. It is wonderful to see the state recognizing people from
our community. Thanks again Karrah and keep up the good work.
Also, at the Historic Downtown Office we are working on a Main
Street Building Inventory. This Inventory will have current rental and
sale price of buildings, lot and building sizes, owner information, and
comments from different firms who have categorized the buildings in
the past. We have passed out sheets to local historians concerning the
use of each building in the past. We hope to collect enough information
to create useful binders for potential business owners and in the process
create something worth having at the libraries and museum for anyone
to use who is interested in our local history.
We would like to cordially invite everyone to visit our new updated
website at www.enjoyrisingsundowntown.com. We have a local
photographer Mark Mellang, who takes pictures at the events, such as
the Navy Bean Festival. These pictures can be viewed and purchased
at our website.
I am with the mayor when I say God please watch over our Rural Affairs, Karrah White-Miller, Shae Young, Program Manager, Indiana
community and all of our men and women in the armed services.

Community Service for Scholarships:
The Future Generations Scholarship Program at OCCF
The Future Generations Scholarship program is a wonderful way
for Rising Sun High School students to earn scholarship money for col-
lege while volunteering in their community. The Ohio County Commu-
nity Foundation (OCCF) is pleased to administer the Future Generations
Scholarship Program. This scholarship program was established within
the Ohio County Community Foundation in March of 2006 by Mayor Bill
Marksberry, City Clerk Rae Baker Gipson and the Rising Sun City Coun-
cil. It is the goal of the City of Rising Sun to financially assist every gradu-
ate of Rising Sun High School seeking to pursue a four (4) year college
degree who meets the specific scholarship criteria.
The first step in the Future Generations Scholarship process is
for students to choose an organization from the Approved Community
Service Organizations list and perform volunteer work for that organiza-
tion. Upon completion of their project, they will need to complete a
Community Appreciation Service Reporting Form and have it signed by
the contact person for that particular organization. It is the sole respon-
sibility of the student to submit the reporting form to the Ohio County
Community Foundation in order to receive credit for community service
hours performed. Students may begin earning hours upon completion
of the Eighth grade.

We have the answerEXERCISE! Youve heard it before and maybe even
tried it, but did you see the benefits? If done properly, the benefits of
Rising Sun
exercise are endless. Regardless, of age, gender, or physical ability,
exercise can provide the healthy lifestyle that you are looking for.
So, you might be saying, Whats in it for me? For starters,
exercise will improve your mood. Prove it today! If you need to blow off important things regarding our children are their health and education.

some of your built up stress.
Regular exercise will help combat and prevent heart disease,
high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes. Exercise has
even been recommended in the prevention of some cancers.
Having trouble sleeping? Exercising along with a proper diet will
not only help you stay more alert and focused throughout your day, but
can also clear your head and expend that extra energy that your body
needs to get a good nights sleep.
Start a regular exercise program that will eventually become part
of a routine. As you burn more calories and increase your metabolism
(energy), the easier daily activities will become. Exercise doesnt have
to take up much of your time. Park farther away, take the stairs, exercise
on your lunch hour, or join a 45 minute group exercise class!
Are you ready to GET GOING but dont know where to start or
what exercises will work for you? Do you need some motivation and
could use some help getting over the workout plateau? Call Performance
Plus! Our personal training staff works with you individually to create
an exercise program designed specifically for your goals and needs. We
also offer yoga, pilates, step, and various other group exercise classes
taught by professional instructors. Beginning in November, Performance
Plus through sponsorship from Lifetime Resources will also offer FREE
senior group fitness classes. Call us at 655-3940 for more information

Barn Again! Program
Comes to SE Indiana
Barn and traditional building enthusiasts will want to save the
date of Saturday, November 1st, for attending the Barn Again! work-
shop in Vevay. The daylong program provides education and resources
to anyone interested in the preservation and continued use of historic
farm buildings. Owners, craftsmen and barn-lovers of all types are en-
couraged to attend.
Barn Again! is a preservation initiative developed by the National
Trust for Historic Preservation. Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indi-
ana has periodically implemented the program in daylong workshops
around the state since 1995. This year Historic Landmarks Foundation
brings the program to the Switzerland County Fairgrounds. The day
includes speakers and forums on the various challenges and approaches
to repairing, restoring, and updating traditional farmstead buildings and
features the always popular tour of local barns.
In many cases folks show up because they just enjoy the char-
acter of the old barns so much, says Kent Abraham of Historic Land-
marks.
Registration is required and will be limited. For more informa-
tion on the program and how to register, contact the southeast regional
office of Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana at 812-926-0983.

Many parents and teachers would probably agree two of the most
for Disease Control would also agree.
a) On average, kids spend an estimated 5 hours a day watching TV
and/or playing video games.
b) 60% of children in America are obese. 40% of obese children
and 70% of obese adolescents become obese adults.
c) Exercise increases breathing & heart rate and increases blood
flow to the brain. Increased blood flow carries more oxygen &
nutrients which help build new brain cells. This helps improve
the functions of memory & learning. Active movement stimulates
quicker reaction along the pathways where learning takes place.
In addition to increased brain activity & academic benefits,
scientists say exercise is the only cure for Americas obesity
problems.
d) Increased physical activity increases alertness & reduces
boredom which leads to increased attention span and
concentration. It is also suggested that increased physical activity
levels lead to enhanced self-esteem and better behavior.
e) Because of the decrease of physical activity in school, kids
increasing hyperactivity is often being diagnosed as ADHD.
Whether a child is suspected of having ADHD or has been
diagnosed, studies show that exercise can often help these kids.
Also, because medications for ADHD can cause adverse side
effects it is recommended that other treatment options are tried
in addition to or instead of medication alone. Changes in diet,
sleep, exercise, and activity breaks during class, while studying,
or doing homework show improvements in academic
performance.
Superstar Swimmer Gold Medalist Michael Phelps Mom speaks
I was told by one of his teachers that he couldnt focus on
anything, said Debbie, Michaels mother. Being a school
teacher herself, she began to work closely with Michaels school
to give him the attention he needed. Noticing that Michaels
attention strayed during math, she hired a tutor that encouraged
him to do word problems that corresponded with Michaels
interests. He also began swimming, which quickly became his
energy outlet and form of self-discipline. In the sixth grade, he
told his mother that he wanted to stop taking his stimulant
medication. She agreed, and he has done fine. His busy
swimming schedule gave him the structure and discipline he
needed to stay focused without medication. Debbie concluded
with, All kids can fail us at times...but if you work with them, 9
times out of 10, theyll make you proud.
Performance Plus, an education based fitness and wellness
facility, located in Rising Sun also believes these things are important!
We too understand how health & education can affect one another. Since
there is currently a lack of resources that attack both the education and
fitness challenges students face Performance Plus will now offer the
TnT Training and Tutoring Program. This revolutionary new program
will provide kids with 45 minutes of tutoring or mental exercise and 45
minutes of fitness training. Sessions will begin in November and there
will be programs for Elementary, Middle, and High School students. Call
