Page 6A THE BEACON July 2022 Continued from page 5A have given their lives decades ago, but their courage still speaks to us through yellowed letters, old newspaper articles, family histories, and stories passed down through generations. We hear them through memories that will never be silent. We hear them through the soul of this day. They are heroes for all time; they are heroes for our time. They are brave young men of Dearborn County who gave their lives for America, who we have remembered over the past two decades. Hear their names and never forget; they speak to us again today. • Lieutenant William Ewbank 31- killed in action in WWII • Lieutenant Roy Neary 26- the first Lawrenceburg High School athlete to give his life in WWII • Tommy Denning 19- killed in action in Vietnam • Tony Seig age 19- killed while serving in Iraq in 2006 Brookville • St. Leon • Harry Bales, age 17- killed in action in WWI • William “Bill” Dennis, age 22- killed in action during WWII • Lary Dale Fogle,18 killed in action in the Jungles of Vietnam • Benjamin ‘Sonny’ Harris- 18 years old, killed in action in WWII • Major William Lee Crouch, age 29- hero of Saipan, killed in the last Samurai attack of WWII • Joshua Shaw, age 32- died from wounds in the second battle of Murfreesboro/ Stones River, Tennessee during the Civil War • Captain John George Woliung, age 31, of Guilford, a pilot- killed in action during the Korean War, his final resting place is known only to God They, and thousands more, cry out from their graves: “Let me not then die ingloriously and without a Good Luck to our Grads!

Do they dream of the life that may have been? Do they dream of their families? Or perhaps, do they dream of us and the hope that we will gather and remember what they have given for at least one moment, on this sacred day in the spring of each year. Time marches on and our youth will continue to answer the call to serve. They will fight for America. They will pay the price of freedom. And new voices will speak for them in this and other FROM H ere By Ollie Roehm They call it The Forgotten Coast. In my book, it is the best place to vacation in all of Florida. The Forgotten Coast runs from Carrabelle on the fareastern side of the Panhandle down the coast through Eastpoint, St. George Island, then around the bottom of the Panhandle through Apalachicola and over to Port St. Joe, St. Joe Beach, Indian Pass, and Mexico Beach. We visited all of those towns during our ten-day stay in May. We spent two nights in Apalachicola, a quaint but vibrant fishing town with plenty to do in a laid-back atmosphere. We took day trips to nearby Port St. Joe, Indian Pass, and Mexico Beach. Mexico Beach was the most interesting, in a tragic sort of way. Mexico Beach was literally flattened by Hurricane Michael in October of 2018. A little more than three years ceremonies, but the message will always be the same- to remember their sacrifice, the life they have given, and the freedom we have gained. And the dead will continue to beckon us to keep this eternal flame burning- to warm their souls and light their path so they may return to us and the America they love. Their histories will fill us with gratitude for their sacrifice and renew our hope for America’s future. And as their ghostly presence surrounds us, we will affirm, once again, that their deaths were not in vain. They have not been forgotten. “Thus do we memorialize those who, having ceased living with us, now live within us. Thus do we consecrate later there are lots of new houses being built and the town is bouncing back. I’d venture to say that ninety-five percent of the buildings in Mexico Beach are brand new. Eerily peppered through the streets of new houses and businesses are empty lots where buildings used to be. Mary and I were impressed by how the incredible people of Mexico Beach have persevered and how much progress has been made. It was, to use an overused word, amazing. Following our stay in Apalachicola, we headed over to St. George Island to join our son and his wife for a week in a rental home that had it all. It was situated about thirty feet from the waters of Apalachicola Bay. We had a beautiful swimming pool, hot tub, game room, outdoor shower, small private beach to launch kayaks or take a dip, a private fishing pier, and more. There was a television in the living room and all three bedrooms. But I don’t think any of us watched TV the entire time we were there. I know I didn’t. We kayaked, fished, swam, played pool, explored, watched beautiful sunsets over the bay, and ate some truly great seafood. The ocean SPECIALIZING IN HEALTH and MEDICARE SUPPLEMENT INSURANCE ourselves, the living, to carry on the struggle they began. Too much blood has gone into the soil for us to let it lie barren. Too much pain and heartache have fertilized the earth on which we stand. We here solemnly swear this shall not be in vain! Out of this, and from the suffering and sorrow of those who mourn this, will come-we promisethe birth of a new freedom for the sons of men everywhere. Amen.” -Chaplain Roland B.

Ollie and Mary Roehm at St. George Island, Florida. was a three-minute golf cart ride away and the beach was uncrowded and beautiful. We walked it and loved it. Dolphins visited us in the bay every day but one. A baby accompanied one of them. I had never seen dolphins at such close range before, sometimes just feet away. Mary was kayaking and two or three of them began playing with her, circling her boat and making quite a stir. I admit I was a little concerned when one submerged at the back end of her kayak, swam under the entire length of it and popped out the front. Perhaps the best thing about the trip was the lack of people, hence “The Forgotten Coast.” There were plenty of restaurants, shops, etc., but the vibe was slow and the place was as peaceful and quiet as it gets, especially St. George Island. Buildings of more than two stories are prohibited so there are no high-rises and the like. If you like traffic, crowds, chain restaurants, high-rises, and tourist trappings, The Forgotten Coast is probably not for you. But if what I just described sounds good, I urge you to check it out. I’ve been to many places throughout Florida. The Forgotten Coast is now my favorite, hands down. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. It’s only about thirteen hours away.

July 2022 THE BEACON Page 7A B Beacon USINESS NEWS ABOUT OUR ADVERTISERS Emily Schmaltz Joins Milan Primary Care St. Elizabeth Healthcare is pleased to announce that Emily M. Schmaltz, DNP, MSN, has joined the Milan Primary Care office. As a practitioner trained in family medicine Emily Schmaltz and emergency medicine, Ms. Schmaltz will see patients at 124 West Indian Trail Suite B, Milan, IN. “I’m thrilled to join the St. Elizabeth Healthcare team as a provider at the Milan Primary Care office,” she said. “I’m looking forward to delivering the comprehensive healthcare services people need to live their healthiest, most active lives” shared Ms. Schmaltz. Ms. Schmaltz is a lifelong advocate for health and wellbeing. She brings that philosophy, as well as several By Stefanie Hoffmeier At the end of March, the Dearborn County Recycling Center (DCRC) lost a friend and co-worker. Dale Workman, one of the DCRC’s residential drivers, passed away on March 22, 2022. Dale had worked part-time at the Recycling Center for just over 12 years. As a residential driver, Dale would swap out the trailers located throughout Dearborn County. Dale Martin Workman, 80, of Lawrenceburg, Indiana, was born Aug. 14, 1941, in Cincinnati, Ohio. He has lived in Dearborn County for over seventy-seven years. Dale is survived by his loving wife Carol Sue Workman of Lawrenceburg; son Robert Dale (Natalie) Workman of Lawrenceburg; daughter Rae Ann (Brandon Batchelor) Howard of Lawrenceburg; three grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and three brothers. He was a veteran of the US Army. He had a fortyyear career before retiring and coming to work at the Recycling Center. In his free time, Dale enjoyed woodworking and was a dedicated East Central High School Football fan since 1978. Every Friday before a home football game, Dale would head over to East Central to lay a tarp down on his seats for the game. In honor of Dale, the DCRC had two benches made from recycled plastic caps. The caps were sorted by students from East Central Middle School and members of the DCRC’s Citizens Advisory Committee during their Give- Back day. One of the benches will stay at the Recycling Center, while the other will be placed near the football field at East Central High School . The benches were purchased by the Recycling Center through a program called ABC (A Bench for Caps) Promise Partnership. The ABC Promise Partnership program is designed for all age groups that want to learn more about the different types of plastic, how to properly recycle, use the program as a community-building program, and become good stewards of the earth. For a group to “qualify,” they must sign a pledge that a mentor and a group will be involved in the years of internal medicine experience, to patients in the Milan area. “I knew from a young age that I wanted to work in healthcare. Both my grandmother and mother were nurses, and my own healthcare journey began at age 16 in Dearborn County Hospital,” says the Milan, Indiana, native. “Since then, I’ve worked my way through the different levels of nursing to earn my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP).” Ms. Schmaltz received her DNP and Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degrees from Northern Kentucky University. She also received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from Western Governors University. Before joining St. Elizabeth, Ms. Schmaltz worked as an emergency medicine nurse practitioner and as a family medicine nurse practitioner in Lawrenceburg. Throughout her career, Schmaltz has led interdisciplinary teams to evaluate patient and family needs. Working collaboratively, she has diagnosed and treated individuals with acute conditions, such as heart attack and stroke, as well as provided care for patients with Parkinson’s and dementia. As a primary care provider A Bench To Remember collecting, sorting, and weighing. Several benches from the ABC Promise Partnership Program have been placed at parks and schools throughout Dearborn County. Groups are responsible for collecting, sorting, weighing, and delivering the caps, along with a payment for the benches. The benches made from recycled plastic caps are a great way to commemorate a loved one or serve as a gift from an organization to a park, school, or church. While an adult must serve as the mentor, students can easily help to collect and sort caps. If your organization would like more information about the ABC Promise Partnership, contact the DCRC, and we will point you in the right direction. The DCRC has extra caps if an organization is interested in getting a bench. While we prefer that plastic caps be placed back on bottles at the Milan Primary Care office, Ms. Schmaltz will care for individuals ages 16 and older. She can provide primary care services, including screenings, as well as chronic pain and chronic disease management and wound care. “I have a passion for helping people in my local community,” Schmaltz says. “I want to see them succeed when it comes to healthcare.” Ms. Schmaltz joins a team of primary care specialists at St. Elizabeth dedicated to working together to diagnose and treat a variety of common and complex conditions. From mental health needs to frequent eye, ear, and skin problems to substance abuse services, the providers are dedicated to giving patients a comprehensive healthcare experience that addresses all their medical needs. The No. 1 goal for primary care providers is to create a health and wellness plan that best suits their patients. To do that, they provide physical exams, order and interpret tests, and prescribe medications to improve health management. When needed, patients can be referred to a specialist. To make an appointment with Ms. Schmaltz or to learn more about the Milan Primary Care office, call (812) 496- 8784.

The old folks always complain and ask what’s wrong with these kids today? Many people have been working from home, and some students were learning from home. So many changes occurred in our society, including the lack of a dress code. The shift to a casual wardrobe has crept into all facets of society including social outings. I see young girls, teenagers, women, housewives, and older women wearing leggings as if they were slacks. Six or seven years ago, women were wearing leggings under sweater dresses and it was a good way to keep warm. As time passed, women of all ages wore leggings with long tops which seemed appropriate enough, but that ended. Now I often see women in their workout attire in the grocery store. A few days ago, I saw a couple in a home improvement store. I had to do a double-take when I realized the woman was wearing fleshtoned leggings and a fleshtoned waist-length t-shirt. I seriously thought, “Why bother wearing clothes at all if you want to show every curve and detail of your body?” Marie, am I just an old woman, or has this lack of a dress code gotten out of hand? Judy in Lawrenceburg Dear Judy, You have a great point. We have become the willing subjects of whatever the clothes manufacturers decide to put on the store shelves, and if we buy those clothes, the change in apparel is our fault. Women do the majority of the clothes shopping for the family. Walk into any department store and you will notice the environment is geared to women. As women, mothers, aunts, and guardians teaching our younger generation how to dress appropriately in public is our responsibility. We are the ones who must teach our kids to be modest.
