MAYORS CORNER
Well, with springtime approaching us and the winter months hopefully be-
hind us, we can start planning springtime cleanup around our community. We have
entered our community into America in Bloom. I have had people ask me if we were
going to be in this contest again and I told them that we were entered. Again, I think
it does show pride in our community when we can dress it up with flowers and a
little of this and that. We again will have the summer help working with the street
department to help spruce up our community and get those little things that always
builds up, that otherwise we might not have time to get completed.
I hope that most of you have been keeping an eye on the 4-H Fairgrounds.
The City and County group had to re-bid the Exhibit Hall but fortunately, working
together, we do have a builder and it does appear that it should be completed pretty
much by the time the 4-H Fair starts. I believe that we will have a very nice Commu-
nity Fairgrounds for our county. Some of the older trees in the park have been
removed or may be removed but I hope that we can replant with nice quality trees
that will look great as they mature.
It is my understanding from INDOT that the Laughery Creek bridge project on
State Road 56 has been scheduled for April 2009 stimulus funding letting. I am
told during the construction season of 2009, both lanes of the bridge have been
designed to remain open to traffic with occasional lane closures controlled by flaggers.
Such closures are due to some utility relocations where the main power for our com-
munity crosses the bridge also. This part of project extends into the winter months
of 2009 and 2010. At the beginning of the construction season in 2010, the bridge
will be restricted to one Lane of traffic controlled by traffic signals. We do hope that
this project moves along with little or no problems.
As always I ask everybody to keep our men and women in the armed services
in their prayers and ask God to watch over our great community and this great coun-
try.
Mayor Bill Marksberry

The Historic Downtown Program member meeting will be on April 21, 2009 at 6 pm
in Heritage Hall. Snacks will be provided. At this meeting, we will be hearing updates
from different groups in our community, such as, Police Department, Museum, Parks,
Foundations, Tourism, City, and County to name a few. For such a small town, we have
a lot things going on all the time. We hope this meeting will give everyone a chance to be
updated on projects and plan for future events. Remember our meetings are open to
the public and we accept new members all year long. Hint. Hint.
We are trying to be more available on the Internet. Sure, we have our website. But
now, we have added a Historic Downtown Program group on Facebook. So if you are on
Facebook add our group then invite your friends. We have 71 members to date, some as
far away as Florida, Arizona, and even Iraq. You might find on old friend or two. We send
out invitations to events, share photos, post comments, and more. We hope to accom-
plish more of a connection between our city and all who are interested in it.
Now is the time to count our blessings and ask God to watch over our community
and all of our service men and women.

Get Your Head Out of the
Sand: Drugs Are Present
In Our Community
An article by Tom McKay, Dearborn / Ohio
County Prosecutors Office
Dearborn County CASA, Ohio County Drug
Free, President, Indiana Drug Enforcement
Association
Recently, a young man, from a good family in our community,
after a series of bad decisions, found himself in the hospital in dire
condition, the victim of a heroin overdose. Yes! Heroin, right here in Ohio
County! I heard comments from people across all s egments of our local
society, shock, amazement, disbelief, this cant be true!... But IT IS!!!
Believe it or not there is a significant drug problem in Southeast
Indiana, of which Rising Sun and Ohio County are a part. We may be
the smallest county in the nation, but that does not make us exempt.
The problems of the rest of the world may not be as evident here
as in other places. We tend to care about our neighbor and try to help
each other where we can. We have a great network of churches and
civic organizations that can and will lend a hand to those in physical,
financial, and spiritual/emotional need. This being said, the reality is,
all types of drugs are readily available on the streets of our community.
Persons so inclined can purchase marijuana, cocaine, methamphet-
amine, methadone, a vast array of prescription medications and yes,
even heroin within minutes of making the decision to do so.
This is not a problem we created, but we do have to deal with it.
Law enforcement across America is overwhelmed with drug-related crime.
Some estimates indicate that as much as 75 to 80 percent of all crime
in America is driven by drugs, whether it be a theft to obtain drugs or
money to buy them, personal injury or death as a result of drug use or
competing drug dealers, or domestic violence fueled by drugs or alcohol
abuse.
Our police cannot win this battle alone. We need the help of the
citizens of our community, parents, grandparents, students, school ad-
ministrators, teachers, and civic leaders.
Educate your children to the dangers of drug use, educate YOUR-
SELF!
Know what your children are doing and who they are doing it
with.
Thankfully, the young man I mentioned above survived, unfortu-
nately a few days later another local man did not. Heroin was not in-
volved in that incident, but regardless it was drug-related.
All this may sound to you like the ramblings of someone who
only wants to spread gloom and doom in our fair community. But if that
is what it takes to lessen the impact of drugs here and maybe save the
life of one child, so be it. If you try to do the right thing every day, you
WILL BE criticized for it, but its a small price to pay in the end. Abe
Lincoln said once, You cannot escape your responsibility for tomorrow
by evading it today.
So Get your head out of the sand! Keep your eyes and ears
open and report any suspicious activity to your local police or Sheriffs
department. Sometimes the smallest bit of information can make a
difference and help to close an investigation. Pressure on drug offend-
ers is very effective, we should all do our part. As for the critics, most of
them know the right thing to do, they just dont have the guts to do it!
Take a stand youll feel better about yourself and you just might save a
life in the process.

Police Are Asking For Your
Help to Combat Illegal
Drug Use
An article by David Hewitt,
Chief of the Rising Sun Police
Department
Some recent events have brought to light what
local police officers have known for a long timeThere are drugs in Ris-
ing Sun and Ohio County. Officers from the Rising Sun Police Depart-
ment, Ohio County Sheriffs Department and the Prosecuting Attorneys
Special Crimes Unit have been actively working drug-related cases in
our area for quite some time, but we cant do it alone. We need your
help.
Several years ago, we conducted a several month investigation
into the illegal sale of prescription drugs in Rising Sun with the help of
one concerned citizen who was willing to step up. With his help, several
people dealing prescription drugs were charged and arrested and it made
our downtown area a much better place and helped lay the ground work
to clean up Main Street.
But without the help of the community, concerned citizens and
parents, all we can do as law enforcement is clean up the mess that
drug use causes. We can do what we can to prevent drug use and
illegal activity. We can put on programs in the schools, speak to civic
groups, put on K9 demonstrations, but ultimately, when it comes to
drug use and awareness for our students and young adults, it has to
start at home, from the parentsPolice, the legal system, and our edu-
cators can only do so much.
Its up to the parents to be parents. Go through your kids cell
phone, see who theyre texting and calling! Check their email and
Myspace or Facebook accounts! Look through their book bags and back
packs! Go through their cars! Know who their friends are, who theyre
hanging out with. Get to know your kids friends parents, communi-
cate with themAs parents; we have a responsibility to do all those
things.
Will that be popular with our kids? Absolutely not, but its our
job! Too many of us want to be our kids friend or best buddy and none
of us want to be the bad guy, but its time that we do. A lot of parents
have the attitude that its not my kid when confronted with tough
issues like drug and alcohol use. Then when it turns out to be the case,
they want to lay the blame on the teachers, law enforcement or the legal
system rather than looking in the mirror.
No one in the law enforcement community is turning a blind eye
to the issues we have here, but we cant work on these problems alone.
We need you to help! If you think your child, grandchild, neighbor or
friend is involved with illegal activity, please report it. It helps if we have
as much detail as possible and it gives police a head start into the in-
vestigation process.
Generic, anonymous letters saying things such as there is a drug
problem in Rising Sun, do something about it dont do much to help.
You can remain anonymous when giving tips, but Id challenge you to
not be afraid, get involved in your community, your school, your neigh-
borhood and your kids life and step up and do the right thing. Too
many of us dont want to get involved and then sit back and complain
when nothing happensWe are all responsible when we dont act and
do the right thing. So, what about you? Are you willing to help out?

We are the most concerned about HB
1729, a bill that would give the racinos at the horse tracks an unfair
advantage over the riverboat casinos that could further diminish our
local riverboat revenues. It also opens the door for the State to come
after a greater share of our riverboat revenues. Senator Kenley indi-
cated that the bill will not be heard by his Senate committee. However,
since it did pass the House, language may still be inserted into another
bill at the end of the session.
We are also concerned that language which would give the Indi-
ana Gaming Commission jurisdiction over our local agreement with Grand
Victoria and oversight or control of how our riverboat revenue is spent
may find its way into legislation before session end. We believe as many

Ohio County Animal Shelter Reminds Owners to Vaccinate Pets

We have had a very busy first quarter here at the shelter with close to
100 adoptions and donations. We have had six dog bites, with some in
the serious range.
It is very important to make sure your animal is vaccinated in
case of an accidental bite or nip to keep from a possible fine and jail
time, or even loss of your pet. Also remember your dog tax is due each
year by May 15, as per state and county ordinance.
A big thank you goes out to Abe Hopkins and his dad for making
a new sign for our shelter, good job guys.
And a big thank you to the Irwins, Cecil, Joann,and Melissa, for
buying our new dog bathtub through their generous donations.The dogs
love it...I have'nt tried it yet, even if my wife does call me an ole dog,
haha. Thanks again, people like them is what makes it worthwhile at
the shelter.
We are looking for some ideas for a fundraiser, so give us some
of your ideas. Till next time, stay safe!

be purchased locally or through its customer base that spans not only Mid-
west outlets but international ones as well.
Perhaps one thing I didnt figure on was how far off the beaten path
I would venturethe exact location I found artist Jim Day. Over the river
and through the woods came to mind as I crossed a drivable stream and
drove up into the woods to Talon Wildlife Creations. It was well worth the
trip.
Specializing in avian re-creations, Day is a world renowned re-cre-
ation artist whose designs are so life-like that they have been included in
natural history museums, private collections and retail establishments such
as Bass Pro Shop. His work has been featured on PBS television and has
been used in several motion pictures.
If you consider yourself a bit directionally challenged (like yours truly)
you need not worry. The artists locations were clearly marked with addi-
tional signs posted along the way. If need be, both the artists and the locals
were more than happy to clarify the course along the way. Not only were
the participants a tight knit group who supported and networked amongst
themselves, but it didnt take me long to find myself comparing notes with
them and the other guests that I was either leading or following along the
trail.
Before venturing out, a few tips will make the experience even more
enjoyable. Begin early, allowing yourself to enjoy each artist at every loca-
tion and dress comfortable. Bring along a little spending money for a quick
bite to eat along the way and a treasure or two that that you just cant go
home without (which there will be plenty.)

America in Bloom
Committee Celebrates
Spring
The America in Bloom committee hopes that you will get
spring fever and walk in Shiner Community Park to see what flow-
ering surprises spring has in store for us! The paved walking
path has many new trees that were planted last year. The drive-
way back to the City Maintenance Building has new trees, shrubs
and ornamental grasses. The undergrowth of the groves of trees
in the park has been cleared and now have benches and/or pic-
nic tables for your relaxing and bird watching pleasure. There
are stretching and workout sites for the serious jogger and run-
ner. The two intersection areas along the walking path by the
baseball field and the tennis courts have gardens that are offi-
cially designated as National Wildlife Backyard Habitat sites. Are
you looking for something new for your yard? Just go for a walk
and get some ideas!!!
Currently at Shiner Community Park, the two flower gar-
dens/habitats are a mixture of native Indiana flowers, grasses,
and plants. They are a variety of heights and colors. Once they
start springing up, there will be something in bloom or seeding
every month until frost. The seed pods and flower heads are left
thru winter time for the birds. Here is a partial list of plants in
the habitats that attract birds and butterflies: bee balm, butter-
fly weed, black eyed susans, purple prairie clover, tall bluestem,
side-oats grama, coreopsis, New England Aster, Rough blazing
star, cardinal flower, purple coneflower, and yellow coneflower.
Since the daisy is the official city flower, the AIB commit-
tee is hoping to have several daisy gardens around the city and
on one of the hillsides in the community park. Would you be
willing to share a clump of daisies from your yard to help us get it
started? If so, please contact Janie Eldridge at 438-1230 with
your name, phone number, and address, and an AIB committee
member will come dig up your generous flowering donation!! Help
us make our city a beautiful, relaxing place to stroll through on Mayor Marksberry will be accepting the Tree City Award at 11AM

Returns To Rising Sun

for changes to the regular class schedule due to previously scheduled events.

Come out and experience the 2009 edition of the Kelly Miller
Circus as they fill your day with an exciting, learning adventure. The
journey begins as they pull onto the Circus grounds at 7:30 a.m. and
begin the transformation into an educational wonderland.
As the hustle and bustle of Circus life envelopes the grounds,
you become lost in the unlading of equipment and animals. The giant
elephants help raise the Circus Big Top and free guided tours are given
to let everyone take part in the excitement. The huge creatures are so
fascinating to watch. Many people have spent the entire day enjoying
their playful antics. You can observe the elephants as they play together
in their elephant pen unchained! The silly games they play will de-
light and amaze you.
The elephants are awesome but dont forget the rest of the Cir-
cus family. Their horses, camels, llamas, ponies, and miniature Sicilian
donkeys are equally enjoyable. They perform for you, along with the
other amazing acrobats and aerialists from around the world, in the two
main Big Top Circus performances.
The friendly personnel in the Animal Department will be glad to
answer any questions you may have about the Circus animals on dis-
play. What better way to learn about the animals than having a live
example in front of you to observe and to ask questions about?
If you have ever wondered what a camels foot looks like, or how
much an elephant eats, come out and see for yourself. The fun will be
there for everyone, and what you learn you can take home for free.
The Kelly Miller circus will be coming to Rising Sun on April 29.
