Spring has been very busy<br />
for Steve, Diana and son<br />
Kirk Hubbard who raise<br />
registered Saanen and Nubian<br />
dairy goats. So far they have<br />
thirty baby goats, also called<br />
kids, on the ground. They<br />
have had a set of quintuplets,<br />
a set of quadruplets, several<br />
sets of triplets, and twins as<br />
well as singletons. To keep a<br />
record of which kid belongs<br />
to which doe, the kids have<br />
different color velcro ties on<br />
their necks that remain in<br />
place until they are tattooed.<br />
Diana said, “It took fifty<br />
camera shots to get them all<br />
in the photo.” Sounds just like<br />
any “kid,” right? JH Farms<br />
conducts youth workshops on<br />
showing goats and competitions<br />
around the region. To<br />
learn lots more go to www.jhfarms.us.<br />
Thank you to Diana<br />
for sharing this fun story.<br />

As I write this article, Don<br />
and I are on our way home<br />
from Napa Valley in California.<br />
We tasted lots of wines<br />
and visited many wineries.<br />
Don and I are probably the<br />
most unpretentious winos<br />
ever, so we got lots of laughs<br />
at the grandiose and turgid<br />
wine descriptions. The main<br />
reason for our trip was to<br />
learn about blending wines.<br />
We were fortunate to meet<br />
and talk to some expert winemakers<br />
in blending. If you are<br />
a wine lover, I hope you will<br />
check out www.atthebarnwinery.com<br />
for more insight into<br />
that topic.<br />
Spring has sprung, the winter<br />
battle has been won! It’s<br />
time to go outside to ride a<br />
bike, go for a walk or get your<br />
hands dirty in the garden.<br />
Happy Easter to everyone!<br />

We have all heard that<br />
there is strength in numbers,<br />
and the task forces for our<br />
community are no exception.<br />
Task groups are being<br />
formed for five projects, one<br />
of which might catch your<br />
interest.<br />
A kayak launching and<br />
storage area is high on the<br />
priority list, followed by improvements<br />
to the pool and<br />
outdoor activity area.<br />
If pickleball is your passion,<br />
get involved with the<br />
installation of a new court<br />
that should be completed by<br />
Memorial Day.<br />
RV parking and storage<br />
is another topic that will be<br />
addressed this spring. The<br />
expansion of the current area<br />
that has eight spots is to be<br />
discussed for those who do<br />
not have parking access at<br />
their homes.<br />
The goal to expand and improve<br />
hiking trails that span<br />
the seventy-seven acres in<br />
the community is also on the<br />
list. The upgrade of several<br />
miles will be a primary focus<br />
of one of the task groups.<br />
If you have an interest in<br />
contributing to any of these<br />
task forces or volunteering<br />
for these projects, contact the<br />
POA at 812-537-1521.<br />
The first Movie Night of<br />
the season is planned for<br />
May 25, weather permitting.<br />
Join your friends and neighbors<br />
for this seasonal event.<br />
PG Gentrup shared the<br />
following information about<br />
the valiant efforts of the<br />
Hidden Valley Quilters who<br />
recently created a Quilt of<br />
Valor for 84-year-old Jackie<br />
Scott from Rising Sun. Jackie<br />
Scott was born on January<br />
5, <strong>19</strong>35, and served in the<br />
United States Army with<br />
the 5th Special Forces and<br />
101st Airborne, the Screamin’<br />
Eagles. He completed<br />
a tour of duty in Korea and<br />
then two tours in Vietnam.<br />
He served from <strong>19</strong>51-64<br />
and was wounded in action<br />
making him a Purple Heart<br />
Recipient on three separate<br />
occasions.<br />
Jackie’s family was present<br />
to watch him receive his<br />
quilt, which was presented<br />
to him by Jerry Bondurant,<br />
Ron Spurlock, and PG<br />
Gentrup from the Vietnam<br />
Veterans of America, Lary D.<br />
Fogle Chapter 71 in Aurora.<br />
Daughters Sherri (Chuck)<br />
Davis and Edith (Chuck)<br />
Angle, were in attendance.<br />
Gary “Bo” Walston, his<br />
sister Peggy Robinson, and<br />
their mother, Betty, helped to<br />
coordinate the event with the<br />
veterans. Mr. Scott is a true<br />
American hero, and the Vietnam<br />
Veterans were honored<br />
to present him with the quilt.<br />
The names of the quilters<br />
were listed on the back of the<br />
PG Gentrup, Ron Spurlock<br />
and Jerry Bondurant with<br />
Jackie Scott.<br />
quilt.<br />
A special thanks to the<br />
Hidden Valley Quilters for<br />
the beautiful Quilt of Valor.<br />
The docks at Hidden Valley<br />
Lake have been constructed!<br />
The addition of sixteen new<br />
docks brings the count up<br />
to one hundred twenty-two<br />
total docks. Shelters and restrooms<br />
are also planned to be<br />
built this spring.<br />
