“Give people more than what they ask for. That’s our script for success.” -Troy Ward Je ersonville and St. Matthews. The Youngs taught him how to make ice cream and were very honest about the time commitment it would take to be successful. “They have just been wonderful,” he said. “They shared every secret from Zesto’s 45 years in business. They could not have been more helpful.” Not only did he learn how to make ice cream, Troy learned how to create $2 OFF per person* Cave Tours or Canoe/Kayak Rental *Limit 4 people/2 boats. Coupon valid through December 2012. JL Snickerdoodle and decorate the store’s special occasion cakes and pies. A Chillers’ cake has two layers of soft-serve or hand-dipped ice cream of your choosing, as well as two layers of golden cake. There’s also a featured “Áavor of the week” for the handdipped ice cream that allows him to get creative. Recently, the o ering was peanut butter ice cream, laced with huge chocolate and peanut butter buckeye candies. For canoe trip! The kids loved the cave. It was larger than I expected. the more health conscious, there is nofat, no-sugar frozen yogurt, with only 60 calories. There are also parfaits, sundaes, smoothies, milk shakes and malts. Also o ered are specialty hot dogs, pork barbecue and a chicken sandwich. Troy admits the last few months have been stressful, primarily because he’s away from his wife and children up to 15 hours a day. Every morning he leaves their home in Marysville and drives 20 minutes to the Scottsburg location. “My family was used to me being home every day at Àve,” he said. “Now I leave at six in the morning and don’t get home until late at night.” He said the Youngs warned him about the long hours and he and Susan talked and prayed about it before making the commitment. Troy, clearly an extrovert, loves the service aspect of the business and the opportunity to interact with his customers. He makes a point of personally talking with as many customers as possible and inviting them to come back. “Give people more than what they ask for. That’s our script for success,” he said. The Wards continue to grow the business and look for new ways to serve the community. They have ordered a portable ice cream cart and the Scottsburg Chamber of Commerce has given them several catering leads. Troy thinks the portable cart is ideal for taking into businesses where shift workers may only have 30 minutes for lunch or dinner, and of course, for special events. He hopes one day, to leave the business to his children. • The newly opened micro-creamery is located at 1515 W. McClain Street in Scottsburg.

Harrison County Lifelong Learning, Inc. Adult Education Program Revamped Adult Education Instructional Hours Monday - Thursday 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Official GED Test Content and Time Limits of Block Testing Day 1 Language Arts, Reading 65 minutes Social Studies 70 minutes Science 80 minutes Day 2 Language Arts, Writing Part I, 75 minutes Part II, 45 minutes Mathematics 2 parts, 90 minutes total Harrison County Lifelong Learning recently changed their Adult Education program to better accommodate adult learners. The free classes now include morning and evening sessions and students are accepted on a walk-in basis. “Our flexibility is designed to help students when they make the call, as soon as they are ready to commit to their educational success,” comments Doug Robson, agency Director. Students entering the program are asked to make an attendance commitment and spend their first hours completing the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE). In addition to traditional book work, students have access to Instruction for Targeted TABE Success (ITTS) and GED Online, two distance learning programs created by McGraw-Hill. The programs are provided to Lifelong Learning by the Region 10 Adult Education Consortium in partnership with Scott County Economic Development Corporation. “For the students who juggle work and family responsibilities, the online learning tools have been a tremendous help,” says Robson. The program changes are also a result of changes at the state level. In 2011 Adult Education was moved from the Department of Education to the Department of Workforce Official GED Testing in Southern Indiana Development, giving the program a more job-skills focus. “It’s our hope that the partnership with DWD prepares students to enter a career certification program or post secondary education. We want them to be successful and attain their academic goals,” reports Robson. Adult Education Instructor Sheila Bennett helps a student use the ITTS online learning tool.
