The residents of Logan
would like to recognize that
we have a celebrity in our
midst. Mr. James O. Stallard
turned 100 years young on
March 28. His many friends
gave him a surprise birthday
pizza party on that day. Also,
State Representative, Randy
Lyness presented Mr. Stallard
with a congratulatory proclamation
letter from the State of
Indiana. Mr. Stallard was born
and raised in Kentucky. He
served as a gunnery instructor
in the U.S. Army Air Force
from approximately 1942-
1945. Mr. Stallard came to
Indiana from Florida in 2004
and has lived here ever-since.
He retired at age 62 from the
R.K. LeBlond Machine Tool
Company in Cincinnati.
Mr. Stallard is known to be
personable, intelligent, kind,
and a considerate gentleman.
He has many friends not only
in his apartment complex, but
at the church he has attended
for a number of years.
BATESVILLE

I have found truth in an
Arab Proverb, “If you only
have two pennies, spend the
first on bread and the other on
hyacinths for your soul.”
I believe we each need to
pursue what serves as “hyacinths
for our soul.” For me,
it’s the serenity of nature, the
soothing sounds of music, the
mesmerizing beauty of the
arts, and the camaraderie of
friends.
Opportunities for artistic
education and expression are
often limited in a small community
– but that all changed
in 1987 when I met Jolene
Rockwood. I started working
for the former Forethought
Group, founded by Jolene’s
late husband, Fred. I was the
first to work on their “stateof-the-art”
Apple desktop
publishing system, which is
how our paths crossed.
Fred and Jolene were
expecting their sixth child
when she shared with me

Ryan Volpenhein, Bryan Baur, Neil Volpenhein, Adam Volpenhein,
Ryan Stickford, and his son Evan Stickford were
part of the Annual Trash Pick-up Day. Thanks guys!
Mr. Stallard is widowed and
has a daughter and son-in-law,
who live nearby in Bright.
He is also blessed with two
grandsons, four great-grandchildren,
and one great-great
grandson. Congratulations
Mr. Jim!
The community of Logan
would like to thank Adam
and Neil Volpenhein for
organizing their SXS/UTV
Annual Trash Pick-up day.
A crew of volunteers met at
the Logan Supermart. They
worked their way up White’s
Hill, parts of Gaynor Ridge,
Mt. Pleasant, and North Dearborn
Road. Great job, folks!
The only thing that would be
better would be that people
would show more respect to
our landscape and not litter
in the first place. Can I get an
AMEN to that?
And last, but not least, our
former Logan correspondent,
Myrtle White, reported that
a pair of bald eagles were
sighted in the field behind her
her vision of promoting the
arts in Batesville. Since she
was the boss’s wife, I nodded
in agreement but secretly
thought she was dreaming beyond
what a small community
could support. I soon learned
that Jolene not only dreams
big but also works hard… and
she was persistent in balancing
her life as a wife and
mother of six young children
in various Batesville schools
with her desire to promote the
arts. By 1988 she founded the
Rural Alliance for the Arts,
now known as the Batesville
Area Arts Council, BAAC,
and I worked with her in
publishing the organization’s
early newsletters.
Jolene’s dream not only became
a reality, but blossomed
into an organization serving
students in Batesville and
Oldenburg for three decades
while also providing arts and
entertainment for much of
southeastern Indiana.
The BAAC began by supporting
arts in education in
the school and expanded to
include its Artist in Residence
Program, the Visiting Artist
Series, and the Young Artist
Showcase. The organization
presents many public events
including local theatre productions.

house. She said, “At first, I
thought it was turkeys. But after
getting out my binoculars,
I was surprised to see that
they were bald eagles!” How
beautiful... Sorry, no picture.

included The Indianapolis
Symphony Orchestra, Peter
Pan, Prairie Fire Children’s
Theatre, Boars Head Festival,
and Rumours Fleetwood
Mac Band. Funding for the
organization is gained through
sponsorships, grants, memberships,
tickets sales, and its
annual Art Auction.
It’s difficult to fathom how
many students and educators
have expanded their horizons
as a result of Jolene’s vision,
and how many hearts
have been warmed by the
organization’s theatrical and
musical performances since
1988. Jolene is truly one of
Batesville’s treasures and has
brought hyacinths to the souls
of many. I’m so fortunate to
call her my friend.
That’s Sue’s news for now!

Early in March, I visited
my girlfriend Jeannie Grimes
Burch down in Sun City
Florida. Jeannie grew up in
Greendale. While I was there,
we enjoyed the 85-degree
weather and lots of sun. I tried
to bring back some warmth,
but the day I flew back, a
strong storm went through
right after I landed. Needless
to say, the cold weather
is back. I hope it doesn’t stay
much longer.
Before I left, I met with
Shirley Lutterbeck of Greendale
in the old train depot by
the library. Shirley and several
quilters meet once a month
to make quilts for the Ronald
McDonald house. Shirley has
also been working on an arrangement
made out of neckties
from former Judge Harlon
Hoffman’s tie collection. The
neck ties will become a quilt
wall hanging when finished.
I recently had someone
write to me and ask where
they could dispose of tattered
flags. I called the American
Legion on Second Street in
Lawrenceburg and learned
that they would dispose of
your worn and damaged flags.
I also learned that Milan’s
American Legion has a flag
retirement ceremony; their
legion has a drop box where
Shirley Lutterbeck displays
some of the quilting done
for the Ronald McDonald
house.
tattered flags can be deposited.
The Milan American
Legion is located at 318 W
Indian Trail.
Greendale has a community
garden, and a few 5’ x 10’
plots are still available. The
garden has a fence surrounding
it which keeps out the
deer. The garden is located
across from the police station
on Ludlow Street. Contact
Patti Louks via email at
greendalecommunitygardens@yahoo.com
if you are
interested in growing some
plants. Patti will have a meetand-greet
some time mid- to
late-April and welcome all of
the gardeners.
Hope everyone enjoys the
warmer weather that will
be coming our way soon as
spring has now arrived.
Happy Birthday to my husband
on May 1st and my son
Andy on May 23.
