A Note to Baby Boomers<br />
Going to Pot... Or Not<br />
I<br />
am headed west.<br />
My hotel shares its neighborhood<br />
with ethnic food galore, intriguing<br />
museums and views to match<br />
Utica’s.<br />
There are also as many pot shops as<br />
there are McDonald’s restaurants.<br />
I am no more a pothead than I am<br />
a ballroom dancer. But here I am, with a<br />
Medicare card in my wallet but no mellow<br />
in my memory. Should I do something<br />
about that?<br />
I would like to think I obey the law<br />
because of how I was raised. But the truth<br />
is, I tend to wimp out if things get crazy.<br />
Jail and I would not get along.<br />
So, part of me figures, why not part<br />
with my mad money on something other<br />
than my 300th T-shirt? Besides, the government<br />
is on my side out there. I don’t<br />
have to meet some shady guy in an alley—<br />
I can score in broad daylight between the<br />
sightseeing and the gluttony.<br />
I can simply step up to a counter<br />
and order some marijuana, right? On one<br />
shop’s website, the options seem endless.<br />
It’s like looking for sneakers on Amazon.<br />
Here I had assumed pot was just pot.<br />
I had not felt this naive since I bought<br />
a large, concrete picnic table for my parents<br />
and figured I would pick up the thing<br />
and put it in my Chevy Nova, no sweat.<br />
The $10 delivery charge was the best<br />
money I’ve ever spent.<br />
I well may be in over my head with<br />
any drug beyond blood thinner and Pepto-Bismol.<br />
The point is less about getting<br />
baked, though, and more about getting<br />
more from life.<br />
A year ago, I wrote about what I call<br />
“why-not people.” They travel and then<br />
travel again. It’s not if they’ve seen the<br />
Great Wall in China — it’s when they will<br />
return. They know the best karaoke bars<br />
in Amarillo and the worst slot machines in<br />
Biloxi. They need a CPA to keep count of<br />
their frequent-flyer miles.<br />
They should be my role model. I<br />
pledged last year to follow suit.<br />
Shame on me. I pledge again this<br />
year to follow suit.<br />
The why-not club may not need me,<br />
but I need it. I talk a little about years left<br />
and increasingly more about good years<br />
left. Better to be broke at 90 than to be regretful<br />
at 90, I guess.<br />
Yes, I luckily am able and nearer to<br />
ready. But am I truly willing? What about<br />
the challenge after pot shops and the challenges<br />
after that?<br />
I got bopped in the eye this summer<br />
by a wayward pool missile. Probably no<br />
lasting damage, thank God. But the doctor<br />
reminded me that eyes — like everything<br />
else head to toe — wear down. Like old<br />
newspapermen, old body parts tend to<br />
retire.<br />
Better to get ambushed by a hardplastic<br />
fish at half my age, in other words.<br />
And better to get more from what’s out<br />
there, however well I may see it.<br />
My wife and I upped our getaways<br />
to three this year. That’s a promising start.<br />
Next might be snow-birding. Florida in<br />
February used to seem a copout, but now<br />
it seems as smart as paying bills online.<br />
No matter that the hardest drug in<br />
Florida might be Metamucil.<br />
Looking back comforts more than<br />
looking forward. The future scares me<br />
when I let it. The past mostly entertains. I<br />
almost missed the obituary for one of my<br />
former newsroom editors.<br />
I hated reading that he was only 70<br />
when he passed. I loved, though, recalling<br />
the enduring, vital lessons I learned from<br />
him. He cut me no slack and I deserved<br />
none. He expected as much from me as<br />
The why-not club may not need me, but I need<br />
it. I talk a little about years left and increasingly<br />
more about good years left. Better to be broke<br />
at 90 than to be regretful at 90, I guess.<br />
any teacher or professor had. A curmudgeon<br />
among curmudgeons, he had no desire<br />
to be my pal.<br />
He was my boss, the guy who, without<br />
apology, sent me to fires and school<br />
board meetings be it early or late, weekday<br />
or weekend. Each lousy assignment<br />
helped me become a less lousy journalist.<br />
I hope I thanked him but I doubt I did.<br />
He was but one of a batch of teachers<br />
and preachers and neighbors and friends<br />
who molded and inspired me. I still am<br />
under a wing or two; it’s never too late to<br />
wise up.<br />
Paying it forward can be ahead for<br />
me. It too can help me act alive, not merely<br />
be alive. The best why-not people care<br />
more about others than themselves.<br />
They make sure to fit in good deeds<br />
between visits to Spain and to South Bend,<br />
that’s all.<br />
Here I am at the crossroads of being<br />
more like Mother Teresa and more like<br />
Cheech and Chong. Can I save the world?<br />
Of course not. Can I handle a pot brownie?<br />
Well …•<br />

A Walk in the Garden with Bob Hill<br />
Hostas Come Full Circle<br />
Bed before planting<br />
After planting<br />
Transforming a leftover pile of dirt with bricks and hostas<br />
In the beginning — long before the<br />
hostas — there was dirt. Lots of dirt.<br />
A sprawling pile of dirt. Its source<br />
was the hole created by digging the<br />
new foundation for an old dream; a backof-the-house<br />
family room from which to<br />
sit and admire 40 years of garden work<br />
free of heat, sun and mosquitoes. A beer in<br />
hand always helps with the view.<br />
That pile of dirt was in the heavy<br />
shade of a home-grown sugar-maple<br />
transplanted as a sapling by wheelbarrow<br />
those 40 years ago. My son and two of his<br />
neighbor buddies helped with that. The<br />
sapling was about 6 feet tall at the time.<br />
Now it’s closer to 50 feet. In my mind I<br />
can still the boys helping with the planting.<br />
I also still see them live on occasion.<br />
They’re all grown up now, too. When you<br />
live in the same house that long, life tends<br />
to come full circle.<br />
So, anyway, here’s this pile of dirt<br />
demanding to either be used on site or<br />
moved into sunlight for yet another peren-<br />
Sept/Oct <strong>2018</strong> • 10
nial garden bed — the last thing I needed.<br />
Inspiration popped up as I looked<br />
over at one of those other beds — itself<br />
about 20 years old — and noticed it had<br />
been shaped with the help of curved landscape<br />
bricks. That bed had long matured<br />
into a solid mound of ornamental trees<br />
and perennials. Those bricks were no longer<br />
needed.<br />
But if somebody was to move those<br />
bricks about 30 feet and form a tight circle<br />
around that sprawling pile of dirt, a guy<br />
could have something new. A circular hosta<br />
mound, rising up in the barren shade<br />
and visible just out the window of the new<br />
back room.<br />
Sure. Just follow the gardening-idea<br />
dots. Again. New sunroom. Pile of dirt.<br />
Deep shade. Curved bricks needing a new<br />
mission. A circular hosta mound about 12<br />
feet across to be enjoyed just out the new<br />
windows with a Heineken companion.<br />
I’ve always liked hostas anyway;<br />
their leafy presence and rising flowers can<br />
be a more constant garden companion in<br />
otherwise tough areas. Mostly originating<br />
in China, Korea and Japan, hostas<br />
can dominate those shaded areas with an<br />
amazing variety of sizes, shapes, blended<br />
colors, fragrant flowers and stupid names<br />
such as ‘Outhouse Delight’ and ‘Pineapple<br />
Upside Down Cake.’ Some miniatures<br />
are barely 4 or 5 inches across. The largest<br />
can get 4 to 5 feet across.<br />
We tend to forget about such time<br />
and distance travels in gardening, mostly<br />
figuring the plants originated 5 miles<br />
away at some nursery across from Thornton’s.<br />
But the hosta journey from Asia to<br />
Hidden Hill began in the 1700s as plant<br />
explorers first sent them back to Europe.<br />
They made their way to the United States<br />
in the early 1800s, but the big flood began<br />
in the early 1860s when one Thomas Hogg<br />
Jr. was sent to Japan by President Abraham<br />
Lincoln to serve as U.S. marshall.<br />
Hogg, whose family first started a<br />
nursery on Manhattan Island in the 1820s<br />
on land where 23rd Street and Broadway<br />
now intersect, began shipping hostas and<br />
other cool Asian and Japanese plants back<br />
to the states during the Civil War.<br />
Thus, President Lincoln — who<br />
grew up and developed into the man he<br />
became in <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Indiana</strong>, a fact all but<br />
‘Paul’s glory’<br />
lost to history — is very much part of this<br />
modern <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>Living</strong> tale of a<br />
guy growing a round hosta bed outside a<br />
new back room in Utica.<br />
More full circle.<br />
Honest.<br />
Once the raised hosta bed idea was<br />
born, work proceeded in quick fashion.<br />
Two hard-working employees moved the<br />
curved bricks and created the lower level<br />
of the bed. That part was OK, but it needed<br />
a curved-brick crown on top to literally<br />
seal the deal.<br />
The additional dirt for that came<br />
from The World’s Biggest Compost Pile,<br />
a rotted mound of perfect, black, crumbly<br />
soil created over the past 25 years from<br />
dead plants, weeds, grass and the occasional<br />
lost pair of cotton garden gloves.<br />
The word “friable” was invented for such<br />
glory.<br />
Using our trusty 35-year-old Kubota<br />
tractor, it took about five scoops of friable<br />
to do the trick, followed by the placement<br />
of the brick crown. A lesser man would<br />
have had tears in his eyes staring at the<br />
results.<br />
All that remained was the planting<br />
of about 30 hostas in circular rows.<br />
Among the best was the miniature ‘Holy<br />
Mouse Ears,’ a creamy, blue-green beauty<br />
that can get 6 inches tall and sounds like<br />
an exclamation of surprise. Moving up the<br />
row was “Paul’s Glory,’ the 1999 Hosta of<br />
The hosta journey<br />
from Asia to Hidden<br />
Hill began in the<br />
1700s as plant<br />
explorers first sent<br />
them back to Europe.<br />
They made their way<br />
to the United States<br />
in the early 1800s, but<br />
the big flood began in<br />
the early 1860s.<br />
the Year that’s all chartreuse and bluegreen<br />
and will eventually get a booming<br />
25 inches tall and 55 inches wide.<br />
At the top for now — and it will be<br />
years until this skinny bed fills in — are<br />
three ‘Sum and Substance.’ It’s the everdependable<br />
monster that will stretch<br />
thick, heart-shaped leaves to 60 inches<br />
wide and 30 inches wide, with fragrant<br />
white flowers rising 38 inches in the sky.<br />
Abraham Lincoln — the name of a<br />
hosta, by the way — would be proud. •<br />

Cover Story<br />
Market Street Inn<br />
A local Bed & Breakfast<br />
offers the perfect spot<br />
for a weekend getaway<br />
Story by Jon Watkins<br />
Photos by Michelle Hockman<br />
Sept/Oct <strong>2018</strong> • 13
In January 1996, a devastating duo of<br />
fires closed the Haven House at 330<br />
West Market St. in Jeffersonville (in its<br />
11th year at the location), leaving a dilapidated<br />
and abandoned shell of an over<br />
130-year-old home. A year prior, Steve and<br />
Carol Stenbro were first entering in the<br />
innkeeping business. What would seem to<br />
be two unrelated events would eventually<br />
culminate into a pairing that would create<br />
one of the most decorated and celebrated<br />
bed-and-breakfast locations in <strong>Southern</strong><br />
<strong>Indiana</strong> and the only bed-and-breakfast in<br />
Jeffersonville.<br />
Purchased at the end of April 2002<br />
and opened in October 2005, the Market<br />
Street Inn is not the first bed-and-breakfast<br />
the Stenbros have owned. “We were<br />
looking to expand our other property on<br />
Utica Sellersburg Road and thought we<br />
would add on or something like that, and<br />
we just happened to hear that this building<br />
was up for auction,” said Carol, who<br />
is also the innkeeper and cook for the inn.<br />
The Stenbros decided to investigate the<br />
house and the ensuing auction. “We went<br />
by it on a Friday night, and I said, ‘Looks<br />
like they’re having the auction tomorrow,’”<br />
recalled Steve, a retired toolmaker<br />
at Ford Motor Co.<br />
After discussing and arriving at a<br />
price they were willing to pay, the Stenbros<br />
went to the auction. “We went<br />
through (the house) and heard some of<br />
the plans that other people had for the<br />
house, like bulldozing it or making it into<br />
four apartments or whatever. And I said,<br />
‘It’s gonna be my house,’” Steve said. And<br />
although the resulting purchase went<br />
over the initial amount they were willing<br />
to spend, Carol explained that the couple<br />
“just couldn’t let it go for apartments” or<br />
any of the other plans that others had for<br />
the home.<br />
However, turning the boarded-up<br />
house into a beautiful inn was an arduous<br />
journey. “One of the fires had burnt<br />
through the roof, so there was water coming<br />
in for over six years,” Carol said. The<br />
home “was kind of a mess, but we still<br />
thought it was worth saving.” The Stenbros<br />
found the the brick walls and foundation<br />
to still be somewhat solid in terms<br />
of structural quality, and the couple began<br />
the massive undertaking of restoring the<br />
home.<br />
“It was a total renovation. All the<br />
wood you see is brand new, and all the<br />
wood you don’t see is, too,” said Steve.<br />
The first several steps of the renovation<br />
involved nearly a year of cleaning out the<br />
rotted and burnt beams, rafters and floors<br />
and adding a new roof to prevent further<br />
damage.<br />
The next step required enlisting the<br />
services of an architect who helped lay out<br />
a plan for the building for the Stenbros’<br />
interior renovations. Carol handled the<br />
interior decorating for the house, while<br />
Steve joked that he “moved the doors, and<br />
moved the doors and moved the doors.”<br />
Each of the rooms in the Market<br />
Street Inn has a unique name. For instance,<br />
there is the Rosé Retreat: a room adorned<br />
with a framed painting of flowers hanging<br />
off of a scarlet-painted wall behind the<br />
queen-size bed and above the remote-con-<br />

Turning the boarded-up<br />
house into a beautiful inn was<br />
an arduous journey.<br />

trol fireplace, red-spined books perched<br />
on a desk with a vase of flowers resting<br />
inside, and white and red colors swirling<br />
around the pristine bathroom that features<br />
a Jacuzzi tub. Another room is the Bridal<br />
Suite, where opal and ivory whites mingle<br />
with mauve and grape tones across<br />
the room and create a beautiful scene. The<br />
bathroom has a double Jacuzzi tub with<br />
an LCD television framed above the tub.<br />
Each of the seven guest rooms contains its<br />
own personality and appearance throughout<br />
the house, showcasing Carol’s talents<br />
in interior design. Meanwhile, Steve’s<br />
contribution equate to far more than just<br />
moving doors.<br />
Steve found inspiration in a postcard<br />
that “was floating around town many<br />
years ago.” This postcard, which featured<br />
the home before the fires, not only<br />
gave Steve some of his inspiration for the<br />
porch, but he even used the postcard to<br />
recreate the dormers on the house. “With<br />
a magnifying glass I could see how many<br />
shingles, what size and what they looked<br />
like,” Steve said. Along with the postcard,<br />
Steve possesses a four-volume set<br />
of books titled “Audels Carpenters and<br />
Builders Guide,” which was published in<br />
1923. “I would find my answers — every<br />
brick and every question and every stud,<br />
I would want to find out how it was done,<br />
so I could do it again the proper way,”<br />
Steve said. He and Carol attribute the successful<br />
rebuilding of the house to those<br />
who helped them, and they attribute the<br />
successful upkeep of the inn to their four<br />
staff members.<br />
During check-in, inquiries are made<br />
about any guests’ diet restrictions and<br />
what time they would like to eat. “A lot<br />
of places have a set time of when they will<br />
serve breakfast; we don’t,” said Carol.<br />
“We do made-to-order breakfasts, mostly.”<br />
The menu includes eggs, pancakes,<br />
waffes, french toast, oatmeal, poppyseed<br />
bread, scones, cakes and fresh-cut fruit.<br />
“For the most part, we do all of our own<br />
baking, and we do all of our own madefrom-scratch<br />
recipes for our waffes,” said<br />
Carol, to which Steve added, “It’s not unusual<br />
for her to have two to three cakes<br />
that she has made.”<br />
The Stenbros hope that one day<br />
more bed-and-breakfasts will appear in<br />
Jeffersonville. “It’s not a case of competition,”<br />
Steve said. “Each house has its own<br />
niche. Each house has its own place. •<br />

Huber’s<br />
Orchard<br />
and Winery<br />
Making Memories in<br />
<strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Indiana</strong><br />
for 175 Years<br />
Story by Darian Eswine<br />
Photos by Michelle Hockman<br />
AJ Huber, a seventh-generation<br />
Huber, remembers running<br />
around with his grandpa when<br />
he was about 8 years old. His<br />
dad would run the farm and his grandpa<br />
would take him out to teach him about<br />
training fruit and different cuts on trees.<br />
Now his kids are making the same<br />
kinds of memories.<br />
“A lot I learned he taught me then, I<br />
still remember today,” Huber said.<br />
Huber’s Orchard is celebrating 175<br />
years this year. The family emigrated<br />
from Baden-Baden Germany in 1843 and<br />
settled on 40 acres.<br />
They started with fruit farming and<br />
veggies and then opened the Dairy Barn<br />
in the 1920s.<br />
“In the 1960s, Grandpa Carl and his<br />
brother Gerald started U-Pick,” Huber<br />
said. “That really started bringing people<br />
out to the farm.”<br />

ery and in the 1990s, AJ’s dad Greg and<br />
Gerald’s son Ted took over. They built the<br />
farm park, the Plantation Hall, the fruit<br />
still and then the bourbon and vodka still.<br />
Though the farm is now owned<br />
by the sixth generation, four of the five<br />
seventh-generation kids are full-time employees<br />
at the farm. The fifth is in college<br />
and plans to join them upon graduation.<br />
“We all grew up here and started<br />
helping at a young age,” Huber said.<br />
“We’re a close family — we have dinner<br />
together every Sunday night. We work<br />
hard and we’ve always done it together.”<br />
Huber is the farm manager and<br />
oversees farming, planting, growth training<br />
and growing fruits and vegetables.<br />
The team he manages also picks for the<br />
store and works with the wine.<br />
Huber said everyone in the family<br />
has a different role. Ted handles wine and<br />
spirits, Huber’s sisters run the plantation<br />
hall and others are in the corporate and<br />
finance offce.<br />
Huber said that in total, they have<br />
150 to 200 employees.<br />
“The biggest thing we can offer is diversity,”<br />
Huber said. “There’s something<br />
for the whole family to do — lunch, winery,<br />
playground. …”<br />
One family of four visiting from Fort<br />
Knox made the drive specifically to experience<br />
Huber’s for the first time.<br />
“We loved picking the peaches be-<br />

wagon rides, bicycles, slides, bouncies, playgrounds, and more and<br />
then stop at the restaurant or the ice cream shop for a treat.<br />

cause even the little one could pick them,”<br />
Jenni Olson said. “You could spend a<br />
whole day here. It was worth the drive.”<br />
Huber’s has U-Pick opportunities<br />
throughout the year — strawberries, blueberries,<br />
raspberries, blackberries, peaches,<br />
apples, seedless grapes, pumpkins,<br />
Christmas trees and veggies.<br />
For apple-picking alone, which runs<br />
through the middle of August to the middle<br />
of September, there are 15 varieties of<br />
apples to pick from. Huber’s uses some to<br />
make their own apple cider.<br />
They also pick some themselves,<br />
which they sell at the Farmer’s Market.<br />
“September 15 through Halloween<br />
is our busiest,” Huber said. “We call it our<br />
festival season.”<br />
U-Pick opens at 9 a.m. and the last<br />
ride is a half hour before close, but Huber<br />
always suggests calling beforehand.<br />
Huber said his favorite fruit is an<br />
apple, specifically a Golden Delicious or<br />
Stayman Winesap.<br />
His kids, however, love picking<br />
blackberries and blueberries. They also<br />
visit the pumpkin patch each year to pick<br />
out a pumpkin and take home to paint.<br />
“It’s great — the littlest will pick a<br />
fresh peach and then she’s just covered in<br />
peach juice,” Huber said. “We’re creating<br />
memories as a family.”<br />

The special thing about Huber’s is<br />
that many families revisit the orchard for<br />
milestones in their lives.<br />
“We have first dates and then they<br />
propose here and have their wedding<br />
here,” Huber said. “It becomes a family<br />
tradition and we offer something for each<br />
stage of life.”<br />
As far as goals for the future, Huber<br />
said they always work to keep improving<br />
everything.<br />
“We want to provide the best possible<br />
experience and add more here and<br />
there to make it better,” he said. “We’re<br />
always trying new things and have to be<br />
able to try different stuff here and there.”<br />
Families can participate in a variety<br />
of activities including grain trains, wagon<br />
rides, bicycles, slides, bouncies and playgrounds,<br />
and then stop at the restaurant<br />
or the ice cream shop for a treat.<br />
“It’s a good family experience. You<br />
can hang out or learn where fruit comes<br />
from or have a fun family day,” Huber<br />
said. “It’s not just a farm — there’s a lot<br />
families can do.”<br />
Now that the five eighth-generation<br />
kids are living and playing on the farm,<br />
Huber is looking forward to the memories<br />
they will make.<br />
“They’ve learned to spot fruit trees<br />
compared to regular trees and can tell<br />
the difference between peach and apple<br />
trees,” Huber said. “Now that may be because<br />
they know where everything is on<br />
the farm, but they’re definitely learning.”•<br />

Artist Spotlight<br />
Inspired by Nature<br />
Local artist Jeanne McCutcheon creates textured palette-knife<br />
paintings of <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Indiana</strong>’s landscape<br />
Sept/Oct <strong>2018</strong> • 28<br />
Story by Judy Cato<br />
Photos by Linda Shoults
Visitors to this year’s “Art on the<br />
Parish Green,” at St. Paul’s in<br />
downtown New Albany, were<br />
entertained by Jeanne McCutcheon’s<br />
spirited demonstration of paletteknife<br />
painting. McCutcheon, who lives<br />
in Leavenworth in Crawford County, is<br />
known for her use of the palette knife as<br />
a painting tool.<br />
Scraping up thick globs of paint with<br />
her knife — dark brown and Naples yellow<br />
— she applies these colors directly<br />
to the canvas without mixing them. The<br />
paint resembles creamy frosting. When<br />
the artist wants to use other colors, she<br />
simply wipes the knife clean. One attentive<br />
spectator — a small girl 6 or 7 years<br />
old — was delighted when McCutcheon<br />
offered her a knife and invited her to<br />
spread some paint.<br />
By the end of the day, McCutcheon<br />
had completed a 16-by-20-inch painting<br />
she named “Cliff Side Rock.” She signed<br />
it with a brush.<br />
McCutcheon has tried several<br />
techniques over the years. Her first experiment<br />
as a child was painting flamingos<br />
on Kleenex, using brushes given to<br />
her father for her by the art teacher at the<br />
school where he taught in California. As<br />
an adult, she tried both watercolors and<br />
acrylics. But around 10 years ago she fell<br />
in love with the effects she gets from oil<br />
and the palette knife. “I like the texture<br />
and the amount of paint I can get with a<br />
knife, and it helps me not to get too ‘tight’<br />
with the images,” she said. “I think of my<br />
style as impressionistic realism.”<br />
Nature has engaged McCutcheon<br />
her whole life. In recent years, the woods,<br />
hills, ponds and rivers of Crawford County<br />
have captivated her attention. When<br />
she talks about these landscapes, one<br />
senses her connection to them: “There are<br />
so many stunning views here that change<br />
not only seasonally, but moment to moment.<br />
When sunlight, shadows, reflections<br />
and colors resolve together in a certain<br />
way, I feel impelled to capture those<br />
impressions.”<br />
She always has her camera with her,<br />
ready to snap such moments. But sometimes<br />
she sets out with her tools to paint<br />
en plein air.<br />
“There are so many stunning views here that change not only seasonally, but<br />
moment to moment. When sunlight, shadows, reflections and colors resolve<br />
together in a certain way, I feel impelled to capture those impressions.”<br />

“Stone Pond” (an 18-by-24-inch<br />
painting) captures a view from her property<br />
off Wyandotte Cave Hill Road. She<br />
explained the title by saying: “There is no<br />
actual pond, just a depression on the land<br />
belonging to the Stone family. The rain<br />
created this little mini-pond.”<br />
The source of “Hidden Surprise” (a<br />
16-by-20-inch creation) is a snapshot she<br />
took on the road leading to her home.<br />
While coming around a corner, she noticed<br />
a patch of yellow wildflowers in<br />
bloom. She stopped the car and snapped<br />
a photo.<br />
Her painting “Dry Run Creek in the<br />
Fall” (18 by 24 inches) depicts a scene on<br />
the old homestead where McCutcheon<br />
and her husband used to live. The skyward<br />
vertical trees are reflected in the<br />
creek, which runs at a slight diagonal. The<br />
atmosphere of autumn sunlight transforms<br />
the landscape into a fabric of shimmering<br />
impressions.<br />
Along Highway 62 through Crawford<br />
County, at a widening in the road,<br />
McCutcheon had noticed several parked<br />
cars. Curious, she parked her car and followed<br />
a path to what she discovered is<br />
widely recognized as a fishing spot. Part<br />
of Blue River, this spot is the subject of<br />
her painting “The Fishing Hole” (18 by<br />
24 inches). The dark thick foliage on the<br />
right, hedging the lighter, more delicate<br />
colors of sky, river, and wispy trees seem<br />
to invite the viewer to spend the day there.<br />
Although McCutcheon has completed<br />
hundreds of paintings and has<br />
received many accolades and honors,<br />
painting is not her primary career. For the<br />
past 26 years, she has worked full-time as<br />
a cardiology nurse at Baptist Floyd Hospital.<br />
She routinely paints on Saturdays<br />
and sometimes during her time off. She<br />
doesn’t have an offcial studio, but an “art<br />
space” that she shares with her husband,<br />
Bob, who is a leather crafter.<br />
McCutcheon is nearing retirement<br />
age. She says she can imagine “taking off<br />
in our old 1978 RV, painting the natural<br />
beauty of the country. I would love not<br />
having to worry about splattering paint<br />
on things.” •<br />

History of <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Indiana</strong><br />
Happy 200th Birthday<br />
Founded in 1818, Crawford County celebrates two centuries<br />
James Monroe was president. Congress<br />
chose a flag with 13 red and<br />
white stripes and 20 white stars on<br />
a blue field. President Abraham<br />
Lincoln’s mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln,<br />
was born. “Silent Night,” the first known<br />
Christmas carol, and Mary Shelley’s<br />
“Frankenstein” were published. <strong>Indiana</strong><br />
had become the 19th state two years earlier.<br />
It was 1818. And on Jan. 29 of that year,<br />
<strong>Indiana</strong> Gov. Jonathan Jennings signed<br />
the order that created Crawford County.<br />
“It actually became law on March 1,”<br />
said Roberta Toby, Crawford County historian.<br />
“That is when the last needed signature<br />
went on the document. So that is<br />
when we celebrate the birth of our county.<br />
“It was in December of the previous<br />
year that Martin H. Tucker, a prominent<br />
local citizen, presented a petition to State<br />
Sen. Dennis Pennington with the request.<br />
People needed to conduct government<br />
business without traveling a long distance<br />
— something diffcult in those days.”<br />
Celebrations<br />
An open house at the Crawford<br />
County Historical-Genealogical Society<br />
Building in English on Jan. 29 celebrated<br />
the 200th anniversary of the governor’s<br />
signature. The open house featured an<br />
art exhibit by the late Earl A. Denbo, a<br />
local artist who designed the county seal<br />
and whose work has been displayed in<br />
the Statehouse, the governor’s mansion,<br />
businesses, churches, hospitals and many<br />
homes. Also on display were artifacts depicting<br />
the county’s history, and Toby presented<br />
a brief account of the county’s past.<br />
A birthday party was held at the<br />
Crawford County 4-H Fair in July with<br />
Zoey and Delilah Crecelius, 9-year-old<br />
twin daughters of Michelle and Jonathon<br />
Sept/Oct <strong>2018</strong> • 32<br />
Crecelius, serving 200 cupcakes baked by<br />
their mother to celebrate Crawford County<br />
reaching its two-century milestone. The<br />
event was sponsored by the Crawford<br />
County Tourism Board and the Chamber<br />
of Commerce.<br />
“It was a lot of fun,” said Sharon<br />
Wilson, offce manager of the Crawford<br />
County Tourism and Welcome Center,<br />
who organized the party. “Michelle made<br />
five kinds of cakes for the girls to pass out.<br />
Everyone really seemed to enjoy the celebration.<br />
Actually, I had people request an<br />
encore — wanting us to do it again next<br />
year, maybe make it an annual event.”<br />
Beginnings<br />
Nestled in the hills of the southern<br />
part of the state, the 300-square-mile<br />
county was carved from parts of Perry,<br />
Orange and Harrison counties.<br />
Many were already living in the area<br />
when the county was organized, according<br />
to H.H. Pleasant’s “Crawford County<br />
History.” Settlers found heavily forested<br />
land providing excellent hunting and<br />
logs to build cabins. Fish were abundant<br />
in streams and rivers — Big Blue, Little<br />
Blue, Turkey Fork and Bogard, as well as<br />
the Ohio River. Farmland was fertile and<br />
plentiful. Communities soon formed with<br />
schools, churches, stores and banks.<br />
Some historians believe the new<br />
county was named to honor William H.<br />
Crawford, a treasurer in President Monroe’s<br />
cabinet and later a presidential candidate;<br />
others think it was named for the<br />
unfortunate Indian agent Col. William<br />
Crawford, a veteran of the French-Indian<br />
and Revolutionary wars, serving under<br />
General George Washington. Tragically,<br />
Col. Crawford was scalped and burned at<br />
the stake in Ohio when he was sent west<br />
to negotiate. Toby’s research causes her to<br />
lean to the latter man, she said. The martyred<br />
agent was quite popular and considered<br />
a hero.<br />
“There have been several counties<br />
(in other states) named after Col.<br />
Crawford,” she said. “And I can’t find<br />
any connection with (the other) William<br />
Crawford. He was from Georgia and ran<br />
for president in 1824, well after we were<br />
already a county.” She added that she is<br />
open to research documenting otherwise.<br />
Looking Ahead<br />
Story by Sara Combs<br />
One of the state’s smallest counties,<br />
Crawford is one of its most scenic and<br />
has become a destination spot for outdoor<br />
lovers. Its two commercial caves,<br />
Marengo and Wyandotte, are thought to<br />
be among the most beautiful in the country.<br />
Lucas Golf Course, Patoka Lake, Sycamore<br />
Springs and Cave Country Canoes<br />
also attract visitors and provide enjoyment<br />
to locals.<br />
The county has an industrial park,<br />
a thriving school system with three elementary<br />
schools, a middle school and<br />
a high school. There is a nursing and rehab<br />
facility, physician’s offces, two den-
tists, banks, churches, an industrial park<br />
housing Jasper Engines, a modern jail<br />
and courthouse, three thriving rock quarries,<br />
restaurants and retail stores. And<br />
the county is home to the unique subterranean<br />
Marengo Warehouse and Distribution<br />
Center.<br />
There have been a lot of changes in<br />
those 200 years, Toby said. “We now have<br />
several state highways and an interstate<br />
running through our county. That is quite<br />
different from the dirt roads and paths<br />
settlers had to travel 200 years ago when<br />
they were striving to establish a nearby<br />
county seat.” •<br />

Making a Differenc: The Music Therapy Clinic<br />
Music. It’s a universal language.<br />
It helps you express and release<br />
emotions. It speaks<br />
when you can’t find the<br />
words. It links your fondest memories. It<br />
cures things that medication never will. It<br />
is fundamental to the human experience,<br />
and essential to the practice of music therapy.<br />
Barbara Crowe, MMT, MT-BC, states<br />
“[Music therapy] can make the difference<br />
between withdrawal and awareness, between<br />
isolation and interaction, between<br />
chronic pain and comfort -- between<br />
demoralization and dignity.” Personal<br />
Counseling Service, Inc. (PCS) recognized<br />
music therapy’s significance and potential<br />
for community impact when they opened<br />
their Music Therapy Clinic in 2015.<br />
So what is Music Therapy and what<br />
does it accomplish? The American Music<br />
Therapy Association defines music therapy<br />
as “the clinical and evidence-based use<br />
of music intervention to accomplish individualized<br />
goals.” Music Therapy can be<br />
beneficial for clients of all ages and abilities,<br />
and can be adapted to accomplish a<br />
wide range of objectives. Goal areas may<br />
include improving communication, social,<br />
motor, emotional, coping, and/or<br />
cognitive skills. Music Therapy can also<br />
be utilized to address behavioral issues.<br />
PCS currently employs 8 music<br />
therapists who serve 11 counties in Kentuckiana.<br />
These therapists are trained<br />
to work with a variety of diagnoses and<br />
chronic illnesses, and provide individual<br />

Shannon and Travis Nichols shared<br />
the incredible impact Music Therapy has<br />
had on their 10 year old daughter Lainey.<br />
Lainey struggles with severe anxiety. She<br />

was having panic attacks, having a hard<br />
time getting through everyday tasks, and<br />
social events were very much a struggle.<br />
Travis and Shannon brought her to Personal<br />
Counseling Service’s Music Therapy<br />
Clinic. They say that Music Therapy<br />
has been “God sent” for Lainey. “Music<br />
has a way of getting Lainey through everyday<br />
life” states Shannon. Lainey has<br />
been involved in Music Therapy for over<br />
a year and she is beginning to let her personality<br />
shine. Lainey was able to sing<br />
and play the piano in front of a large audience<br />
at the Music Therapy Showcase in<br />
December, something she would never<br />
have been able to do a year ago. Now she<br />
can better manage her anxiety and is becoming<br />
healthier every day.<br />
Personal Counseling Service, Inc.<br />
strives to serve everyone regardless of<br />
their ability to pay. PCS currently accepts<br />
clients on the <strong>Indiana</strong> Home and Community<br />
Based Services Waiver, private<br />
pay with an adjusted fee scale is used to<br />
determine fee for service, and rehab, nursing,<br />
medical, and school facility contracts.<br />
PCS is proud to offer this unique form of<br />
therapy along with other therapy and outreach<br />
programs. •<br />
PCS is located in Clarksville, Ind. and has<br />
been serving the community since 1959. The<br />
organization provides counseling services in<br />
the form of pastoral counseling, play therapy,<br />
trauma counseling, addictions therapy, music<br />
therapy, and more. There are also several<br />

Real Life Nutrition<br />
A Dietician’s Best Friend<br />
Discovering the benefits of fiber<br />
As a dietitian, fiber is my best<br />
friend, and it should be yours<br />
too! Fiber provides many different<br />
health benefits, such as<br />
reducing cholesterol, reducing your risk<br />
for cardiovascular disease and keeping<br />
your gut regular. A study published in the<br />
Archives of Internal Medicine found that<br />
people who ate fiber-rich foods, specifically<br />
about 21 grams of fiber each day, had 12<br />
percent less heart disease and 11 percent<br />
less cardiovascular disease when compared<br />
to those who ate 5 grams or less per<br />
day. It is recommended that women get<br />
about 25 grams of fiber each day and men<br />
about 38 grams per day, but most adults<br />
do not get enough fiber in their diets. The<br />
CDC found that on average, women consume<br />
about 15 grams of fiber and men<br />
about 18 grams. You may be wondering,<br />
where do I find fiber? Plant-based foods<br />
are the only place you can find fiber.<br />
Fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans and<br />
whole grains are all good sources of fiber.<br />
More specifically, 1 cup of cooked black<br />
beans provides 15 grams of fiber, and 1<br />
medium apple provides 4 grams. Here are<br />
some easy ways to help to meet your fiber<br />
goal:<br />
1. Aim for three servings of whole<br />
grains each day. A great way to add<br />
more whole grains is to start your<br />
day with oats. Oats are 100 percent<br />
whole grain and can be a great place<br />
to add other fiber-containing food,<br />
such as berries and nuts. Oats are<br />
cost-effective and a good source of<br />
vitamins and minerals, such as magnesium<br />
and B1.<br />
2. Include fruits in your snacks. Buy<br />
fresh fruits in season because they<br />
will taste better and cost less. This<br />
will also help you eat a variety of<br />
different fruits throughout the year.<br />
3. Pair fruits with nuts and seeds or<br />
nut butters. Nuts provide healthy<br />
fats that help fight against cardiovascular<br />
and heart disease, but keep<br />
your serving size to about ¼ cup,<br />
since they provide more calories. Instead<br />
of dipping an apple in peanut<br />
butter, try a pear!<br />
Fiber provides many different health benefits, such<br />
as reducing cholesterol, reducing your risk for<br />
cardiovascular disease and keeping your gut regular.<br />
4. Aim for three servings of vegetables<br />
each day. Vegetable are high in<br />
fiber but also provide vitamins and<br />
minerals. Try adding vegetables to<br />
staple dishes, such as tacos or pizza.<br />
Search your freezer section for riced<br />
cauliflower or rice it at home using a<br />
food processor.<br />
5. Add more beans into your diet.<br />
One cup of lentils provides 16 grams<br />
of fiber. Try using beans as the base<br />
of your tacos to add more fiber into<br />
your day. Use pureed beans as dips<br />
or add them to your salads.<br />
When you add fiber into your diet,<br />
introduce it slowly and gradually, with<br />
plenty of fluids. Fiber works like a sponge<br />
and absorbs fluid during digestion. If<br />
you’re not consuming enough fluid, you<br />
could become nauseous and constipated.<br />
Try using these tips to include more<br />
fiber into your diet. Start tracking your<br />
daily fiber consumption and see how<br />
close you can get to the national recommendations!<br />

Everyday Adventures<br />
Lost in the Mirror Maze<br />
When my wife hit the outlet<br />
malls, I knew I it was<br />
time for me to get lost. We<br />
were on vacation in Tennessee,<br />
and she and my middle-school-age<br />
daughter had gone shopping for back-toschool<br />
clothes. I knew I didn’t want to be<br />
anywhere near an expedition of that magnitude,<br />
so I grabbed my youngest and ran<br />
as fast I could.<br />
But where could we get lost? I<br />
needed someplace I could hide where I<br />
couldn’t be found for hours. I would have<br />
fled deep into the mountains, but I saw<br />
thunderstorms on the radar. As much I<br />
hate outlet shopping, I didn’t think it was<br />
worth taking a lightning bolt over it.<br />
I was about to lose all hope when<br />
we stumbled onto the mirror maze. When<br />
you’re in Pigeon Forge, you can find attractions<br />
like these about every 5 feet. I<br />
had never been in a mirror maze before,<br />
but figured this was as good a place to get<br />
lost as any.<br />
Boy, was I right.<br />
The maze looked like a cavernous<br />
hall with a million doorways. Of course,<br />
when it comes to mazes, appearances can<br />
be deceiving. Some of the doorways were<br />
real. Others just held a piece of glass you<br />
would smack right into if you didn’t have<br />
your hands out in front of you. The maze<br />
was constantly changing color, sometimes<br />
going pitch black, making the illusion perfect.<br />
To make things even more confusing,<br />
we were not in the maze alone.<br />
We rounded a corner and jumped as<br />
we almost crashed into another dad and<br />
daughter coming from the opposite direction.<br />
Turns out it just was us. Another reflection.<br />
In fact, we were everywhere. In<br />
some intersections, I could three or four<br />
versions of us — some close, some far<br />
away. At times, it looked like the maze<br />
was full of us.<br />
That’s when I realized the secret: If<br />
you want to get out of the mirror maze,<br />
you have to move in the direction where<br />
you don’t see yourself. We glanced down<br />
one corridor and saw a path that seemed<br />
to go on forever, but no sign of us. That<br />
was the way to go.<br />
Sure, the maze continued to twist<br />
and turn, but as long as we moved away<br />
from ourselves, we were taking steps to<br />
freedom.<br />
Something about that experience<br />
seemed familiar. If we’re honest, we’ve all<br />
Sept/Oct <strong>2018</strong> • 46<br />
As much I hate outlet shopping I didn’t think it was<br />
worth taking a lightning bolt over it.<br />
spent some time in the mirror maze in our<br />
heads. There are moments in life where<br />
we become so focused on ourselves it<br />
keeps us from moving forward.<br />
No doubt your mirror maze looks<br />
different than mine. You may be obsessed<br />
with your weight or wrinkles. You may be<br />
mired in regret of the past or fear of the<br />
future. You may be trapped by bitterness<br />
over an old hurt, or lost in a labyrinth of<br />
longing for whatever elusive thing you<br />
think will make will you happy.<br />
Like the Greek legend of Narcissus,<br />
we can easily become ensnared by gazing<br />
too long at our own reflection. Whether<br />
we’re in love with ourselves or loathe ourselves,<br />
the problem is still the same: We<br />
spend too much time thinking about us.<br />
The solution? Look in the direction<br />
you don’t see yourself and go that way.<br />
Jesus offered a practical way to do<br />
this. He said, “You must love the Lord<br />
your God with all your heart, all your<br />
soul, and all your mind,” and “Love your<br />
neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:37-38).<br />
When we focus on God’s goodness and<br />
spend our time attending to the needs of<br />
others, the mirror maze loses its hold on<br />
hearts. Worship and service are sledgehammers<br />
to the trap of self.<br />
Worship is simply loving God back.<br />
It’s remembering that he’s in control so<br />
I don’t have to be. It’s dwelling on his<br />
perfection instead of focusing on my own<br />
flaws. It’s resting in his forgiveness instead<br />
of beating myself up over and over<br />
again.<br />
Loving God frees me to love other<br />
people, because it reminds me that the<br />
world doesn’t revolve around me. That’s<br />
a good thing. When I’m trying to help<br />
someone else, I get a healthy dose of perspective.<br />
Suddenly, my wants and needs<br />
don’t seem like such a big deal, and I’m<br />
free just to be present and enjoy living in<br />
the moment.<br />
Sure, there’s a time and place for<br />
healthy self-reflection. Yes, our needs do<br />
matter, but the longer we spend dwelling<br />
on ourselves, the greater the risk that we<br />
will become imprisoned and miss out on<br />
the best life has to offer.<br />
Take it from someone who has spent<br />
way too much time thinking about himself.<br />
Mirror mazes are a fun place to visit<br />
on your family vacation, but they are a terrible<br />
place to live. •<br />

Rollover<br />
Your IRA for Good<br />
By taking a distribution from your IRA this year, you will likely pay more in taxes and may even reach a<br />
higher tax bracket. Rolling over part of your IRA’s “required minimum distribution” or “RMD” to the<br />
Harrison County Community Foundation can help you reduce your tax bill while supporting your<br />
favorite cause.<br />
If you are 70 1/2 or older, you can make a gift of up to $100,000. Compare the impact of taking your<br />
RMD versus the benefits of making an IRA charitable rollover gift.<br />
Taking Your RMD<br />
• You pay income tax on your distribution<br />
• You may not need or want the money<br />
• Your tax dollars go to Washington<br />
Making an IRA Gift<br />
• You will pay no income tax on your gift<br />
• You can help support your favorite causes<br />
• Your gift can help build your charitable legacy<br />
Double the Benefits!<br />
An IRA charitable rollover gift can benefit both<br />
you and your favorite cause! Contact your IRA<br />
administrator to get started with your gift.<br />
While you will not receive an income tax<br />
deduction, you will not pay taxes on any<br />
distributions made to us. Please also inform us<br />
of your plans so that we use your gift for the<br />
causes that mean the most to you.<br />
