Sew much love, sew much time devoted to helping others
The Dearborn County Retired Teachers Association recently gave away another 121 dresses and 52 pairs of boys’ shorts for the children of Togo. Christy Sopcisak, a missionary teacher for Fellowship International Missions, is a former student of retired East Central High School teacher Pat Thompson. When told of the great need for the children in this African nation, Thompson turned to the retired teachers for help. The retired teachers generously responded with items collected for their Teachers’ Treasures Sale and the pillowcase dresses and shorts. Gerri Barber never envisioned how the pillowcase project would grow when she first took a sample of a pillowcase dress to a coffee where the retirees assembled for a time to be together again. Her simple, “Can we make these?’ has resulted in almost 2,300 dresses and 500 pairs of boys’ shorts given to underprivileged children in Haiti, Brazil, Kenya, Tanzania, and now Togo. Barber, Cathy Mund, and Delores Richter have made all of the shorts. Cochairwoman Jean Vaughan helps with the assembly of the dresses. Although the retired teachers no longer meet for coffee, they faithfully meet each Thursday at the Lawrenceburg Community Center to sew. Dresses and shorts are all artistically decorated with buttons, yo-yo’s, or lace. Each dress also has a crocheted barrette to accompany it. Ac-
cording to Judy Mosier, however, it is the boys, who never seem to receive gifts, who are the happiest to receive their colorful shorts. All are so appreciative of the items which have been given to them. Making a dress takes at an least hour. That is, if all of the materials are assembled and ready, a dress takes approximately one hour to sew. The time to decorate, make the yo-yo’s, and to crochet and make the barrettes is not included in this. Although the seamstresses meet weekly, many of the dresses and shorts, the yo-yo’s, and the barrettes are made at home to be ready for the production line that is set up to finish the outfit. Others can be found scouring the countryside for pillowcases and other materials. Lawrenceburg Community Center Executive Director Mary Beth Hedrick, herself a retired teacher, said “the Dearborn County Retired Teachers is a great organization.”These are wonderful ladies, some of whom are my own former teachers. I am so proud of all that they do to help their communities. These ladies have been sewing for the past three years now.” The teachers are especially appreciative of the Lawrenceburg Community Center as each week it donates and sets up a room for their use, allows them to store their machines and materials at the Center, and cleans the room after their departure.

From Page 1 Gray has been so helpful to them in seeing that they have everything that they need to be able to work. Independent Bible Church in Bright is helping pay for the shipping of an ocean container to be sent to the mission in Togo. All other dresses and shorts have been personally delivered. Fellowship International Mission is based in Allentown, Penn. Sopcisak helps train the Togolese teachers, write learning materials, and teaches some of the 3,000 children in the 15 Christian schools spread throughout Togo. Located in a heavily Muslim area, Sopcisak wrote in her newsletter to supporters wrote about a nurse who had grown up in a Muslim family. He one day visited a church and accepted Christ. His sister immediately kicked him out of her home and he was abandoned by her entire family. She says, “It sent chills down my spine
to hear a Muslim proclaim the name of Jesus! What an amazing answer to prayer!” The teachers also have sent and will continue to send shorts and dresses with Kids Against Hunger. They pack the clothes with the food that is sent to different places, usually with the help of the National Guard in Louisville. Dale and Tonya Oelker work with this program. They took over 200 dresses and 100 shorts to pack for a shipment that went to Hailt after last Thanksgiving. Dale and Tonya also went to Haiti and took a few with them, said Barber. One does not need to be able to sew to help with the pillowcase dress project. Volunteers are needed to cut out the dresses and the elastic, sew buttons, decorate the dresses, and much more.

You can see a bottle capper like Mom used to put caps on bottles of tomato juice. The high shelf displays many items familiar to the older folks…like me. The presentation begins with making cider. The apple fed press squeezed out
delicious juice which was later served to the group. Then Pat, with the aid of her sister Lucille Honnert, began showing some of her collection of 50 antiques. After a short time she displayed one that made me want to speak out again. Feed sacks. She started with a printed one that I swear is on the back on one of quilts I have that my mom made.

The last thing you want to do is depend on a “Hail Mary” pass when it comes to your retirement. With a good game plan, you will score a retirement touchdown.

Share your distillery story with L’burg Main St. From 1803 until the present day, the City of Lawrenceburg has been home to many distilleries, thus earning it the name, “Whiskey City.” Just as the unique smell of the brewing spirits fills the air in our small community, the industry has left its mark on the history, local economy, and lives of generations of residents. In recognition and celebration of this rich history, the City of Lawrenceburg, Lawrenceburg Main Street, MGP, Hollywood Casino, and the Dearborn County Visitor Center have come together to create the first ever “Whiskey City Festival”. The event will be held on Friday, Nov. 7, and Saturday, Nov. 8, at the new Lawrenceburg Event Center. Each day will feature whiskey tastings, industry experts, food, beer, cigars, great music including nationally recognized entertainment, as well as historic displays, featuring the “local” story of the industry and its workers. The organizing committee is asking current, former and retired employees of the local distilleries and bottling plants, both past and present, to share your stories and the experiences you have had while working in the industry, said Pat Krider, Lawrenceburg Main Street director. “Your stories are an important component in docu-
menting and displaying on a personal level just how significantly this industry impacted our community and the people who worked within it,” said Krider. Did you roll out the barrels at Seagram’s? Work your summer breaks there and have experiences to share? Break a few bottles while working on a bottling line? Did you share in an event that occurred at one of the distilleries that has great human interest? Did you have a parent, grandparent or friend whose job was held while they served their country? There were originally more than ten unions involved at Seagram’s alone. Were you a union steward organizing or leading your union? “We know there are many interesting stories to be told and we’d like to hear them and in turn share them with the many guests who will be attending the Whiskey City Festival,” said Krider, encouraging folks to take a
moment now to sit down and write about their experiences. “If you’re worried that your writing skills aren’t up to par, please don’t worry, we can help with that. What really matters here is the story and the personal experience,” said Krider. A selection committee will review the submitted stories and the best five will be featured in The Dearborn County Register, one each week, in the weeks leading up to the Whiskey City Festival. In addition, a “memory wall” will be featured at the event, displaying the selected stories. Winning entrants will also be entered into a drawing for tickets to some of the events that will be part of this weekend celebration. Please submit stories to the Whiskey City Festival Committee, c/o Lawrenceburg Main Street, 118 Walnut Street, Lawrenceburg, IN 47025.

Bond between grandparents and grandkids benefits both What used to be the “golden years” of life for seniors is now turning into any opportunity to spend even more time with their youngest family members. Nowadays, a growing number of grandparents are called on to provide child care for their grandkids, many of whom are growing up in two-income households. Others are helping to raise grandkids while providing financial assistance for adult children who may not be able to live on their own. This trend has been corroborated in a few recent studies. Information from the Pew Research Center showed 7.7 million children in the United States were living in the same household as one of their grandparents in 2011. A University of Chicago analysis of a decade of data
based on interviews with 13,614 grandparents, ages 50 and older, found that 61 percent of grandparents provided at least 50 hours of care for their grandchildren during any given year between 1998 and 2008. And an April 2012 study for the MetLife Mature Market Institute and the nonprofit Generations United, an intergenerational policy group, found that 74 percent of respondents provided weekly child care or babysitting service for grandkids. Grandparents often cite helping their own children financially as well as staying in touch with grandchildren as motivating factors behind providing care. According to Generations United, staying in touch with grandkids can give seniors a feeling of self-worth and improve their overall
health. When spending so much time together, grandparents may develop special relationships with their grandchildren, who may benefit from the knowledge and wisdom offered by their elders. The following are some lessons grandparents can share with youngsters. * Empathy: By sharing stories of how things were when they were younger, when opportunities may have been more scarce, grandparents can help teach grandchildren empathy. Grandchildren may learn to be grateful for the things they have and the people around them, rather than taking what they have for granted. * Family history: Grandparents can tell grandchildren about family members, including youngsters’ own parents, and shed light

on the generations that came before them. Looking through photos or watching old movies can provide the avenue by which to start conversations about family history and give children opportunities to ask questions. * Interests: Children may be excited about learning
new skills or hobbies taught to them by their grandparents. Anything from gardening to woodworking can be shared. * Respect: Children who grow up respecting their grandparents may have an increased tendency to respect authority figures outside their homes, which
may help kids grow up to be more courteous and kind. Grandchildren also offer benefits to their grandparents. Companionship, new experiences and conversation can help keep grandparents’ minds sharp and bodies active well into their golden years.
