Welcome! We invite you to travel with us through Dearborn and Ohio counties with Register Publications’ 2012-13 Guide. If you’re looking for what fun activities are on tap in and around Dearborn County, just turn to Page 11, and they’re all there. The Guide also has all the familiar numbers from county and court offices to service clubs and groups to agencies lending a helping hand to fire departments and police. It also offers information on schools, senior activities and housing, groups, utilities, and places of worship. One more note, the way Hoosiers in our corner of the state must dial telephone numbers should be kept in mind when using the Guide. Direct calls out of your exchange area require that you dial 1 and the area code. For example, a resident of Bright must dial 1-812-537-0063 to reach Register Publications’ Lawrenceburg office. And keep in mind that county residents who must dial long-distance to reach county government may call toll free, 1-800-531-1041. Keep the Guide by your phone or in your car for information at your fingertips all year long.

Sunman-Dearborn adds all-day kindergarten Offering full-day kindergarten for the first time, Sunman-Dearborn Community School Corporation started the 2012-2013 school year with 4,150 students enrolled, though the official state count wouldn't come till September. With its general fund in the black for the second year in a row, the school district hoped to remain financially sound. S-D began 2010 with its general fund $2.7 million in the red, and took many steps to fix the district’s financial problems, from enticing teachers to retire with incentives and riffing additional teachers after the state cut k-12 public school funding in early 2010. The central offices were moved into the high school. In summer 2012, the former administrative building in Jackson Township was sold. Meanwhile. ROD became an interlocal agency, with its own board, rather than falling under the S-D board. Unlike other schools participating in ROD, S-D did not adopt a balanced calendar in the 2012-2013 school year after parents protested against the idea. S-D's first day of school was Monday, Aug. 13, about a week and a half later than the others. In 2010, the board created a new mission statement: “to create a culture of educational excellence for each student.” The district had taken steps in that direction by achieving national accreditation through Advanc-Ed/North Central Accreditation during the 2009-2010 school year. The corporation is made up of Jackson, Kelso, Logan, York, Harrison and Miller townships in northern Dearborn County, and a large part of Adams Township in northeastern Ripley County. There are about 4,150 students in kindergarten through 12th grade and 229 teaching staff, including administrators. East Central High School has 68 certified staff for the student enrollment of 1,370. About 50 percent of graduates annually pursue a four-year college degree, while 27 percent pursue a two-year degree. EC is fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and has a First Class Commission from the Indiana State Department of Public Instruction. Sunman-Dearborn Middle School consists of seventh and eighth grades. There are 680 students enrolled and 33 certified staff.SunmanDearborn Intermediate School has 31 certified staff for the 627 students enrolled. Children in kindergarten through fourth grades attend S-D’s three elementaries. North Dearborn Elementary School started the year with 630 students and a certified staff of 34. Sunman Elementary School has an enrollment of 407. There are 24 certified staff members. Bright Elementary School has 436 enrolled, and a certified staff of 25. The corporation also has four administrators in its central office. The board of education meets in regular session on the second Thursday monthly, usually at 7 p.m. in the cafeteria at East Central High School, 1 Trojan Place, St. Leon, IN 47012. For more information, call 623-2291, fax 623-3341. Or go to the corporation's website to contact individual administrators or schools, or for more information: www.sunmandearborn.k12.in.us.

LifeTime Resources is first step in long-term care search There is a helpful new information and resource connection available to all Indiana residents called Aging and Disability Resource Centers. In 2003 the first ADRC came into the national long-term care arena. This program is a collaborative effort of the Administration on Aging and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services designed to streamline access to long-term care options including community living for older adults and persons with disabilities. ADRCs serve as integrated points of entry to the long-term care system for all consumers regardless of income. They are designed to alleviate many of the frustrations consumers and their families experience when trying to access information and services in order to make educated long term care decisions. Integrated points of entry strive to reduce consumer confusion by encouraging individual choice and informed decision-making. Aging and Disability Resource Centers have been operating in parts of Indiana for approximately two years beginning with two pilot

YOU

centers, one in Northeast Indiana and one in Southwest Indiana. There are now 16 ADRCs located throughout Indiana. LifeTime Resources located in Dillsboro, Indiana became a certified Aging and Disability Resource Center in September of 2008. Local residents can call 812-432-6200 to receive information from the ADRC, or visit the website at www.lifetimeresources.org.

Functions of an ADRC include: Awareness and Information

❑❑ Public education ❑❑ Information on long-term care options

Assistance

❑❑ Options counseling ❑❑ Benefits counseling ❑❑ Employment options counseling ❑❑ Referral ❑❑ Crisis intervention ❑❑ Planning for future needs ❑❑ Access

❑❑ Eligibility screening ❑❑ Private pay services ❑❑ Comprehensive assessment ❑❑ Programmatic eligibility determination ❑❑ Medicaid financial eligibility determination ❑❑ One-stop access to all public programs

Individuals who find themselves in need of long term care information or services or in a caregiver situation can benefit from the resources the ADRC offers. ` The ADRC can link the individual in need to available services and allow them to maintain independence and remain in their home as long as possible.

UNINCORPORATED TOWNS Dover Henry McKenzie established the unincor-

porated town of Dover, in the north-central part of Dearborn County in what now is Kelso Township, when he became the first merchant in the village and opened a post office. The first house in Dover was erected by Jonathan Lewis in 1815. Settled mainly by Irish Catholics from Maryland and Pennsylvania, the town had a Catholic parish as early as 1820, and its first church, a log building, was constructed in 1824. Early on, Dover was known as “Crossroads” because it was at the intersection of the trail from Lawrenceburg to Brookville and the trail from Harrison to Napoleon. Irish laborers, working on the Whitewater Canal and the railroad in the Tanners Creek Valley, made their headquarters in Dover and built up its population. Dover’s Catholic community is one of the village’s historic claims to fame. St. John Catholic Church was consecrated in 1824, making it one of the first churches founded in Indiana after Francis Xavier in Vincennes. The existing church building, dating from 1874, is among several historic structures. They give Dover a unique architectural qual-

ity. Residents are served by the Dearborn County Sheriff ’s Department, 301 W. High St., Lawrenceburg, IN 47025, which may be reached at 537-3431 or 1-800-543-1149 for non-emergencies.

Guilford

The town of Guilford, located along Ind. 1 north of Lawrenceburg, was platted by Charles R. Allen, K. Campbell and Josiah Campbell in 1850 and lays at the border of Miller and York townships. An addition was made soon after by Joel F. Richard and Son, and another in 1870 by Johnathan Blasdel. Guilford developed as a Big Four Railroad freight stop for farm goods including hay,

Lawrenceville

The unincorporated town of Lawrenceville, in northwestern Dearborn County in northern Jackson Township, originally was laid out as a rival to another town that since has vanished from the map. Lawrenceville and Morgantown occupied virtually the same area, with only a road separating the towns. Both were platted within a month of each other. John K. Lawrence laid out Lawrenceville on Oct. 26, 1836, 11 days ahead of Jonathan Lawrence’s platting of Morgantown, which some claim was named for Daniel R.L. Morgan, a nephew of Gen. John Morgan of Morgan’s Raid fame. The first church on record, United Brethren Zion, was established in

1819, which some accounts claim may make it the first church built in Indiana outside of Vincennes. A Methodist church also was established in Lawrenceville at the north end of what now is Tavern Alley, but was torn down in 1949. Residents are served by the Dearborn County Sheriff ’s Department, Lawrenceburg, which may be reached at 537-3431 or 1-800-543-1149 for non-emergencies, and the Sunman Rural Fire Department.

Logan

The unincorporated town of Logan is in the center of Logan Township in the northeastern part of Dearborn County. Logan Township is one of the original townships in Dearborn County. The town was settled in the early 1800s, and now has a population of more than 3,000. Logan was known as Logans Cross Roads in its early days. The township was home to the first mill built on the Whitewater River at the mouth of Logan Creek. It was in operation in 1813. Early settlers, always on the lookout for salt, found a lick at the mouth of Cranes Run, where, for a time, salt was processed. An old cemetery where a Civil War veteran is buried is near Logan, and a committee has been established to coordinate an extensive renovation of the cemetery. Today, Logan has grown residentially along with Miller and Harrison townships. Along with the growing population, some businesses call Logan home. The Logan Food Market serves the community. The town is the site of the Logan Food Pantry, 3929 North Dearborn

Manchester Manchester, an unincorporated community in

central Manchester Township, has been building community pride and addressing issues through the Manchester Area Civic Association. Located in central and western Dearborn County, the village was settled in 1815 by Mark McCracken and his family. Once called Green Briar Ridge, the area was settled by folks from the northeastern United States, and several barrelmakers located there. Manchester has a population of about 500. The civic association, formed in the summer of 1993, includes president Sue Weldon, Norkus Road, Aurora IN 47001; vice president Jim Red Elk, 9954 Amm Road, Sunman, IN 47041; and secretary/treasurer Faith Walker, 20608 Bittersweet Lane, Sunman, IN 47041. Carol Lane, 17947 Union Ridge Road, Aurora, IN 47001, serves as township trustee. An annual volunteer of the year award is given by the civic association to a member of the Manchester Volunteer Fire Department and Life Squad. The services merged into one association in 1996 to better serve the widespread community. The association will consider other projects that will benefit the community, said Weldon. Another active group is the Manchester Athletic Association which supervises baseball and softball teams for 225 children in the township. Manchester is served by the South Dearborn Community School Corporation. Children up to grade six go to Manchester School, 9487 Ind. 48, Aurora, IN 47001.

The Drovers Inn, Ind. 48, just east of town, was a stop in the Indiana Turnpike that ran to Indianapolis.

It now is a private residence. The Dearborn County “Asylum for the Poor,” on County Farm Road, was built in 1882. It now is where the James B. Wismann Youth Encouragement Services Home for disadvantaged youth is located. Manchester is proud of its Gladys Russell Wildlife Habitat, a 150-acre wildlife educational area featuring fishing, and horse and walking trails.

New Alsace

New Alsace is an unincorporated town in the southwestern corner of Kelso Township, which is in northern Dearborn County. The area originally was settled by colonists from the East Coast, but soon was populated by German and Irish families. Settlers from Alsace-Lorraine, Germany, gave the town its name, and the Germans also set up several breweries in New Alsace. The first and still only church in New Alsace is St. Paul Catholic Church, established in 1834, making it one of the oldest Catholic parishes outside of Vincennes and Fort Wayne. The town was laid out by Joseph Smith in 1838, and originally comprised 16 small lots and seven 10-acre lots. New Alsace has no governing body. Residents are served by the Dearborn County Sheriff ’s Department, 301 W. High St., Lawrenceburg, IN 47025, which may be reached at 537-3431 or 1-800-543-1149 for non-emergencies. New Alsace is served by three fire departments: Sunman, 126 Eastern Ave., Sunman, IN 47041, 623-2498 or 623-2671 for non-emergencies; St. Leon Fire Department, 28870 Ind. 1, West Harrison, IN 47060, 576-3351 for nonemergencies; and Miller-York: 4780 Main St., Guilford, IN 47022, 487-2517 for non-emergencies. New Alsace is part of the Sunman-Dearborn Community School Corporation, and St. Paul Catholic School, 9788 North Dearborn Road, enrolls students in grades kindergarten through

seventh. Many historic buildings grace New Alsace, including St. Paul’s church, a Romanesque revival style structure with a prominent bell tower, dating from 1837. The adjacent convent and rectory date from 1866, and several houses also date from the mid-1800s. St. Paul’s annual church festival, traditionally the second Sunday in August, draws a large crowd to this small, historic town.

Yorkville

There are conflicting reports about how the town of Yorkville and its township, York, in north central Dearborn County, received their names. Some accounts contend that the names originate from the large number of settlers from York, England, who dominated the tone and character of the town and township in its early history. Historians agree that Yorkville was laid out by David C. Perine of New York on March 24, 1841, and was surveyed and platted by engineer S.W. Math. English Methodists established the first church in the town about 1835. It was later moved to Guilford in 1878. A later wave of German Catholic immigration led to the establishment in 1850 of the only surviving church in the village, St. Martin Catholic Church. Yorkville is an unincorporated town with no governing body. It is served by the Dearborn County Sheriff ’s Department, 301 W. High St., Lawrenceburg, IN 47025, which may be reached at 537-3431 or 1-800-543-1149 for non-emergencies. Miller-York and Sunman fire departments serve the area: Sunman Rural Fire Department: 623-2498 or 623-2671 for non-emergencies; 621 N. Meridian St., Sunman, IN 47041; Miller-York: 487-2517 for non-emergencies; 4780 Main St., Guilford, IN 47022. St. Martin’s festival, featuring a chicken dinner, and a 5K, in late July, is a long-standing tradition that draws many from surrounding areas.

With nearly 6,000 residents, Bright is among the largest non-incorporated areas in Dearborn County. Bordered on the south by Hidden Valley Lake and west of Harrison, Ohio, Bright has experienced an influx of Hamilton County residents since the early 1970s. Bright's boundaries are elusive, but it lies partly in Harrison Township, Miller Township, and Logan Township, primarily with the Lawrenceburg ZIP of 47025. Its downtown is concentrated at the intersection of Jamison and State Line roads, and it is brimming with subdivisions throughout the three townships. Bright is governed by Dearborn County, but much activity revolves around the newly formed Bright Area Business Association and the long-standing Bright Volunteer Fire Department & EMS. The business association, which has about 35 members, meets the second Friday monthly at 8 a.m. at various locations. It provides networking for businesses in or near Bright, Hidden Valley, Logan, and Harrison. For more information, call Bebe Kinnett, 812637-3074, or visit the association's Web site at brightareabusinesses. com. Formed in 1948, the volunteer fire department and EMS provides protection through three stations. The main station is at 23759 Brightwood Drive, Lawrenceburg, IN 47025. For non-emergencies, call 812637-0161. The department has about 65 volunteer firefighters and two career firemen. At the center of the community's festivities is the annual Bright Festival, featuring a gigantic parade, the last full weekend of July. It is the main fundraiser for the fire department. The business association

BRIGHT donates 100 percent of its proceeds from a festival dunking booth to the department. The association presented the department with $465 in 2011. Other businesses give part of their proceeds to the department. Bright is served by the Dearborn County Sheriff 's Department, headquartered in Lawrenceburg. For non-emergecies, Bright residents may call 812-537-3431 or 1-800-543-1149. The sheriff 's department operates a field office from the main station. The non-emergency number is 812-637-3473. Bright was settled in the early 1800s. It was called Saltillo after nearby salt springs. Tradition proffers that a resident not at the nomenclature meeting called it "a bunkum of a name," and the word stuck. There remains a street named Bunkum off State Line Road. The name was changed to Bright in 1873.

DILLSBORO

Donations from businesses and individuals were coming in quicker than expected, so the new dog could arrive in spring rather than fall. Meanwhile, Dillsboro was installing new sidewalks and storm drainage on Sunset Drive and East Adams Street in 2012, and expected to have a new webpage up and running by November. The town also was considering how to fund an $800,000 upgrade to its water line from Aurora. The newest public facility in Dillsboro is Heritage Point, a memorial park at the corner of North and Bank streets. A Beautification of Dillsboro project, the small park includes a veterans memorial, town clock, benches and landscaping, and was created without using any tax money. Just 5 acres shy of covering 1,000 acres, a little over 1 ¼ square miles, Dillsboro has improved other drainage, streets and curbs in recent years, including Bank Street in 2011. An irrigation system was installed in summer 2011 at the town’s ballparks, where a .88 mile walking trail encircles the 12-acre Dillsboro Community Park. Residents, former residents and other folks gather for Dillsboro Homecoming each May. The street festival, sponsored by the Dillsboro Civic Club, has featured frog jumping and costumed frog contest for over three decades, mostly under the direction of Frog Commissioner Rick Fields. The town also offers free movies in the park in the summer and fall, though showings sometimes are postponed or canceled by rain. Laid out by Methias Whetstone, circa 1830, Dillsboro was named for Gen. James Dill, clerk of the circuit court. Dill also was a soldier in the War of 1812, the first Dearborn County recorder, and a member of the 1816 Indiana Constitutional Convention.

2012-13 GUIDE: PG. 41

After putting a new wastewater treatment plant off W. County Line Road into operation in May 2011. Moores Hill turned its attention to a new veterans memorial park and cleaning up a downtown eyesore. The park, Main Street, has become a reality, although the town continues to sell memorial bricks for the veterans memorial portion, which it had not yet dedicated in late summer 2012. But volunteers including residents, the town council, Moores Hill American Legion and local Cub Scouts had installed landscaping and playground equipment, and the town had erected two shelters. Sponsors had donated picnic tables as well. The eyesore, commonly known as the Brown Building, was heading into the town’s possession in 2012, but the town had yet to get funding for its demolition. But the town also acquired an adjacent building, donated to it by USBank. Meanwhile, the state ban on new sewer connections in Moores Hill was lifted in February 2012, thanks to the new treatment plant. Funded by a $1.245 million loan and $1.545 million grant from the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development, the plant is capable of treating 200,000 gallons per day. Moores Hill, 13 miles west of Aurora on the western boundaries of Sparta Township and Dearborn County, was incorporated on property originally owned by Adam Moore, a mill owner and Methodist minis-

MOORES HILL

ter. The town was platted in 1839 by Moore and Andrew Stevens, and originally contained nine lots adjacent to Moore’s gristmill. Many early settlers were from Delaware and the Maryland shore. The first mercantile business was established by Samuel Herron. Moores Hill College was organized in 1854 under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Church. A 1915 fire destroyed early buildings of the college, which was moved to Evansville and became the University of Evansville. One building remains: Carnegie Hall, circa 1907, now a cultural landmark on Main Street, maintained by Carnegie Historic Landmarks Preservation Society, Inc. The building is recognized as a historic landmark by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. The town celebrates the Moores Hill Heritage Festival the third Saturday of each October, to be Oct. 20 in 2012 and includes a classic horror movie night screening. Linda Ickenroth is the contact person at Carnegie Hall: 744-4015. The building also houses a library, and book discussion programs as well as a summer library from Aurora Public Library District. Moores Hill is part of the South Dearborn Community School Corporation. The current elementary building was dedicated in spring 1987 and serves kindergarten through sixth grade. The Carnegie Hall gymnasium, built in 1937, continues to house the school’s athletic program for the “Bobcats.”

ST. LEON

www.stleon.us

Measured by population, St. Leon is small. Measured by area, influence and history, the town plays an important role in Dearborn County. Home to about 775 people, St. Leon claims about 135 households and 110 families. That makes for a comfortable population density of 58 people per square mile in the 7.2-square-mile town. What makes St Leon historically significant is its Democratic poleraising - with its roots in the 1870s - every presidential election year. And, what makes the town important today is its sewer district, which provides service to a large part of northern Dearborn County, Interstate 74 runs through town, and its potential to attract business. Adding to St. Leon’s attraction is a park near St. Joseph Catholic Church, with a local Girl Scout, Jessica Wells, doing her Gold Award service project to give it a nice entrance wall-sign as well as raising money for other features. Wells organized a 5K for the park in September 2012, with plans to have the appealing entrance done later in 2012. While most of St. Leon is zoned agriculture, ample areas have been designated for restricted business and general business. St. Leon’s revamped zoning code took effect in November 2010. The pole-raising keeps St. Leon on the map. The only one of its kind

in the country, the twice-per-decade event is as authentic as is gets. Lugging a cross-cut saw into the woods, Dems cut a straight, tall, hickory tree, reminiscent of President Andrew Jackson - Old Hickory himself - and trim it except for a few branches at the top. Brackets are attached to fasten an American flag and a rooster emblem, the original symbol of the Democratic party. A parade is followed by copious “speechifying,” merrymaking and denigrating of the Republic Party. The pole remains up until after the election. Kelso Township harbors the town in extreme northcentral Dearborn County. St. Leon, originally called St. Joe after St. Joseph Catholic Church, was settled in the early 1800s by Germans, Swiss and French. St. Joseph Catholic Church was the first and only church established. The town’s population today is about 73 percent German extraction. The name changed when the post office was named St. Leon in 1852. The town was incorporated in 1873 by county commissioners after the Census determined the population at 531. St. Leon is served by the Sunman Dearborn Community School District, and East Central High School is on the border of the town limits. The volunteer fire department holds a popular festival the first weekend in August to help support the department. Town offices are at 27968 Ind. 1, Suite 2000, next to the BP station. The phone number is 812-576-5368. St. Leon residents are invited to drop off sewer bill payments, obtain a water meter, get paperwork or request time on the agenda for council meetings. Office hours are 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. A drop box for sewer service payments is next to the front door. The police station is a door down from the town office.

If Harrison, Ohio, is one side of the coin, West Harrison, Ind., is the other. On the Whitewater River, the incorporated town developed on what originally was the Whitewater Canal in northeastern Dearborn County. Taken alone, West Harrison is a town of 354, but viewed in the context of Greater Harrison, it is an integral part of the community. West Harrison claims 142 households and about 70 families. The population density is 3,120.3 people per square mile. There are about 151 housing units at an average density of 1,659 per square mile. The state line runs almost horizontally along State Street.

The second building was constructed on the same foundation, and with the same brick walls as the first. The county seat has been in Lawrenceburg since the county was organized in 1803 with the exception of when it was in Wilmington from September 1836 to January 1884. The present courthouse was built in the early 1870s for about $100,000. Dearborn Circuit Court: This Court serves Dearborn and Ohio Counties under Judge James D. Humphrey. Dearborn Circuit Court is located on the second floor of the Dearborn County Courthouse, 215 W.

AURORA

www.aurora.in.us

Renovated Lesko Park has many new features In summer 2012, Aurora dedicated its new Veterans Memorial at the riverfront Lesko Park, where new restrooms and playground and a widened walking/bicycling path awaited visitors. The playground equipment was made possible by a grant through the Dearborn Community Foundation. A more down-to-earth project, a new sewer main to the treatment plant at Lawrenceburg, was to go out to bid in spring 2013 after a $4.5 million grant was secured from the City of Lawrenceburg to fund the project. The city should not have to raise sewer rates for several years, thanks to that grant. The old Aurora Ferry Landing was the site of a visit in September 2011 by the only LST left afloat, the USS LST-325 visit, which drew 1,100 visitors to the river city. Other riverfront action includes the Aurora Firecracker Festival in July, though the August 2012 A Roar of Thunder Regatta may have been the last for Aurora. Special events in downtown Aurora include Aurora Farmers Fair the

first week of October and Miracle on Main Street in December. Other Main Street events are scattered throughout the year, as are events sponsored by other groups including a River City Classic Car Show in July and teas and tastings at Hillforest Victorian House Museum, a National Historic Landmark. Downtown may be a bit congested in summer 2013, as Ind. 56 is renovated by the state highway department between U.S. 50 and Aurora’s Fourth Street. Fortunately, the work will be done in three segments and access will be maintained to businesses even in segments under work. The $5 million project will include curbs, sidewalks, new street surface and lighting. Meanwhile, Aurora Fire Department was finishing up a helipad at its firehouse at the top of Trester Hill off U.S. 50 West. The helipad will be available to any life squads needing patients transported by air ambulance and will lessen the manpower needed to set up landing zones. Aurora celebrated its 175th birthday in 1994, and designated its downtown as a protected historic district. The district includes the George Street Bridge and eight downtown buildings named to the National Register of Historic Places, including three of the many centuryold churches that give Aurora its nickname, “The City of Spires.” Settled in January 1796, Aurora was plotted as a town in 1819. Scenes from later in that century are featured in 64 murals depicting what people would have seen looking in or out of a window in the 1900’s. This Main Street Aurora project decorating boarded-up windows has INSIDE TOD been completed inAYthree phases with additional phases planned for the : Makin g an IMPA CT; treaby future.

ern Indiana Art Guild. During each of the three phases a student artist has also been asked to participate. This project has been funded by Dearborn Community Foundation, Rising Sun Regional Foundation and PFS Community Foundation. In addition to the new main to Lawrenceburg, Aurora continues to be concerned with sewer system improvements, as mandated by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. Work was underway in 2012 to separate downtown combined sanitary and storm water sewers, with new storm drains already installed on Second and Third streets. The work is intended to meet mandates from the state to eliminate combined sanitary/storm sewer overflows. At the Aurora Sports Complex, youth were playing soccer on new fields and other land was being leveled for additional sport fields and a dog park, thanks to a Lawrenceburg Community grant. Funds for fencing the dog park, to open in late 2012, came from Dearborn Community Foundation and the Rising Sun Regional Foundation.

GREENDALE

www.cityofgreendale.net

From pools to firetrucks: city makes progress The City of Greendale has had a very exciting and productive year. For 2012 the following streets received new curbs and resurfacing: Feller, Locust, Birch, Popular, Haag, Miller, Rand and Diana. In addition, new grass islands and dedicated parking was installed along Greendale Park baseball field and tennis courts. The existing drainage outfall was improved off Tanner Ave. New pipe was installed plus the existing flume was stablized. At the June 13, 2012, meeting of the Greendale City Council, it was decided to move foward with the demolition of the 62-year-old municipal pool and contruct a new modern pool. As of Aug. 28, 2012, the old pool had been demolished and the park board is hard at work with the architect firm of Brandsetter Carroll to design the new one. The plan is to have the pool open for the 2013 Memorial Day weekend. The city is proud of its continued focus in serving the residents of Greendale as well as the associations that it continues to build throughout Dearborn County.

LAWRENCEBURG

New industry, continued improvements in 2012 After years of talking, a new convention-event center in partnership with Hollywood Casino may finally become a reality in downtown Lawrenceburg. Final approvals from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were granted in early September 2012, with construction slated to begin by the end of the month. B ecause the center will become part of the levee proctecting the city from the vagaries of the Ohio River, the Corps had to grant approval. The more than $45 million center had been expected to open in the fall of 2013, but that date has changed because of the delay in the approval process. L awrenceburg als o saw a major manufacturer locate in the city on industrial land off Tanners Creek Drive. The firm, IntraPac, added over 150 jobs to the region. Meanwhile, Fall Fest moved to a new location on Walnut Street B etween U.S. 50 and Center Street because of construction of the event center. The city also was planning an additional parking lot at Ludlow Hill Park, home of Pee Wee Football games. L awrenceburg dedicated it’s new dog park at Todd-Creek Park in downtown in the spring of 2012, and a new much larger boat ramp at Tanner Creek opened in 2011. Areas of Lawrenceburg continued to receive utility upgrades and improved streetscapes. Fun in Lawrenceburg means four things, the L awrenceburg C ommunity Center, the Pat O’Neill Swimming Pool, Fall Fest and Winter Wonderland. The community center offers a range of activities from computer classes to basketball and volleyball to children’s programs. The swimming p o ol saw a new “splash park,” open in the summer of 2009. The park features various spouting toys and a new wading pool for youngsters. Fall Fest in late September features top rate music, not to mention all the

other food, fun and games of a festival. Winter Wonderland will again feature ice skating. The ice skating is in the pavilion next to the city’s swimming pool on Tate Street. For the winter of 2012-13, the rink will be open for eight weeks, rather than six weeks. Lawrenceburg’s and Dearborn County’s past also are preserved in a host of historic buildings, including United Community Bank’s headquarters at Walnut and High streets, and at the Dearborn County Historical Society’s headquarters in the Vance House on West High Street. The city was founded in 1802 by Capt. Samuel Vance, and he built his Adamesque Federal style house facing the river in 1818. Vance named the town for his wife, Sarah Lawrence, granddaughter of Revolutionary War Gen. Arthur St. Clair.

LIBRARIES Patrons of Aurora and Lawrenceburg public library districts have new resources to discuss local history. At the Aurora district, local history topics have been discussed at Talk About for about nine years now. But in 2011, the library moved the sessions to the former Aurora Railroad Depot, circa 1916, it purchased in 2008. Talk Abouts are at 6 p.m. the fourth Tuesday March through October. The building also houses the library’s geneological and historical materials collection. APLD also has added Ancestry and HeritageQuest online databases, the former accessed from library computers at both libraries and the depot, and the latter from individual’s computers as well.

www.eapld.org www.lpld.lib.in.us At Lawrenceburg, Rivertown Tales also meets in the former railroad depot, but the old depot is connected to the expanded and remodeled main library of 34,000 square feet. Rivertown Tales are at 6 p.m. the second Tuesday of each month March through October, and were started in 2008. The library was expanded in 2007, and the North Dearborn Branch was remodeled in 2012. Improvements include a computer lab, an early learning center and additional parking. The children’s area was transformed into a storybook world that invites imagination and exploration, and the teen area into an inspiring, creative atmosphere. The additional space has allowed for two

meeting rooms, two small conference/quiet study rooms, a Teen Zone and an easilyaccessible computer lab, as well as expanded space for all areas. New amenities include a coffee shop, courtyard garden, fireplace and comfortable seating. A drive-up express window with 24/7 drop off and designated pick up times is conveniently available. Free Wi-Fi access is available in both the Lawrenceburg and North Dearborn library buildings. Cardholders also can download ebooks and audiobooks and music from the library district?

The library also partners with Carnegie Hall, Moores Hill, to offer an outreach library each summer, and adult book discussions at 7 p.m. the first Monday of each month except December. All four libraries offer materials and services for adults, teens and children including books, periodicals, films in DVD and VHS formats, music CDs and CDROMs, public access computers with high speed Internet access, Microsoft Office products and color printing capability.

Library patrons also can link to practice tests online. Both Aurora and Lawrenceburg main libraries have genealogy/local history departments with microfilms of the census and local newspapers as well as other resources. Programs include story times, film series, book discussions and computer classes as well as many special events. Meeting and study rooms are available at the Lawrenceburg and North Dearborn library buildings, and the Lawrenceburg district provides mobile library services to daycares, preschools, nursing homes, the homebound, apartment complexes, the Dearborn County Law Enforcement Center, Juvenile Center and various community stops. Staff members answer reference questions over the phone and in person, provide bibliographic instruction, and offer tours, and the libraries have opportunities for volunteers. Friends of the Library staff offer ongoing book sales at Lawrenceburg and North Dearborn libraries, and APLD’s libraries also have book sales regularly. Lawrenceburg and North Dearborn libraries now offer fax services with payment by credit card. Dearborn County residents who are patrons of any Dearborn library may borrow materials from the other Dearborn locations with a current library card through a reciprocal agreement between the two libraries. APLD and LPLD also reciprocate with Ohio County Public Library. Any Indiana library district resident also may purchase a Public Library Access Card for $50 annually, entitling him or her to library services from any public library in the state. Residents outside an Indiana library district must pay an annual fee and become a library patron at an Indiana library to purchase a PLAC.

OHIO COUNTY

County officials on the right road

Ohio County officials continue to be frugal with how they spend their money and have made several improvements to the infrastructure including fixing a former “blind spot” with the intersection of Pleasant Ridge and Salem Ridge Roads. Ohio County and the city of Rising Sun work jointly with community progress including the parks department and port authority along with economic development. Work began in the spring of 2010 on the Laughery Creek Bridge which is the main route into Ohio County from the northeastern part of the state. It was completed Aug. 1, 2011. During the summer of 2012 additional road work on Ind. 56 between Rising Sun and Aurora was paved. The state previously improved the Ind. 56 bridge on the southern portion of the county. An historical Triple Whipple Bridge is located parallel to the concrete structure used by everyday traffic. Future plans are to straighten Ind. 56 near Thuermer Hollow. Elsewhere, stimulus funds have been used to revamp Ind. 56 from the Ohio County border to the neighboring town of Vevay, 30 some miles away. In 2008, Ohio County Council chose not to place any new income tax on residents in 2009 as part of a property tax reform in the state legislature. A new public library is located on the former highway garage site at the corner of Second and Henrietta Streets, across from Rising Sun High School. The county received a grant to build a senior citizens center and community building with swimming pool adjacent to the elementary-middle school. The community building opened in the spring and pool in July 1998. A slide was added to the pool in 2004. Funds received from the riverboat casino have been used to upgrade county highways with the paving of several roads. Work on a new bridge at Hartford was completed in fall 1998 and renovation of the historic Tripple Whipple Bridge over Laughery Creek at French has been compleed also. The Ohio County Courthouse is the cornerstone of history in Ohio County. Memorial bricks remember those who have served in the military and monuments remember POWs and various services. Dedicated in 1846, it is the oldest courthouse in continuous operation in the state. Renovation was completed in 1990 with available funds and paid in full. Additional renovation in 2002 included an

upstairs addition, with the clerk office and other court related offices to the second floor. Meanwhile, other offices were moved to the first floor of the new wing which houses the sheriff department also. The county history is preserved in the Ohio County Historical Society Museum, which opened with extended regular hours after being renovated through several grants.

LIBRARIES

www.ocpl.lib.in.us

Information broker for all ages

It is not new news to hear that Ohio County Public Library has two locations, that it has been serving its community for nearly 100 years, or that it offers a variety of library materials and programs. What is new is this: OCPL is an institution of information brokerage. If there is a need to know, OCPL can fill that need. OCPL has two buildings. The main building at 503 Second St. houses the primary portion of the library’s collection. From here, most library visitors will access all the information they seek. The Carnegie Building at 100 N. High St. houses local genealogy files, historical materials and microfilmed newspapers. Special family search services are offered here. OCPL’s overall collection includes more than 38,000 items of interest to adults, young adults and children, including 32,425 bound and printed materials, over 2,600 movies, over 430 music CDs, 1,060 large-print titles and 586 audio books. Programs include adult and juvenile reading clubs, pre-school story times, special programs, interlibrary loan and reciprocal borrowing. Information access includes the library website, public wireless, patronaccessible computers, Internet links to INspire, Indiana’s database for serial publications, adult testing and skill-building programs, encyclopedia information, digital books and much more. Library staff are available to assist patrons and guests with library services during regular business hours or through the website.

OCPL has received continuing financial support through grants from the Rising Sun Regional Foundation, Ohio County Community Foundation, American Library Association’s Public Programs Office, National Endowment for the Humanities, Indiana State Library and the Institute for Museum and Library Services. These grants have made possible computer upgrades, laptop computers, Internet access, author visits, special book purchases, digital books and computer classes.

School gets first taste of balanced calendar The 2012-2013 school year began on Aug. 2 with several new faces and some new responsibilities. Principal Keith Majewski is the head of both Rising Sun High School and the Ohio County Elementary Middle School. Access to student records including assignments can be gathered along with all ongoing activities at the school by assessing its web site at www.risingsunschools.com On the site you can also hear a monthly interview with superintendent Steve Patz and other school officials on a variety of topics The biggest change in the fall of 2012 was the school going to a balanced calender of nine weeks of school one week of remediation and one week vacation. Public meetings were held on the new format before its approval. Rising Sun is testing the new format for two years along with several schools that send students to the Southeastern Career Center in Versailles. There is a new lunch program which allows parents to keep money in an account. New nutrition requirements went into effect in 2012. Visitors must get a photo ID in the office when visiting. Technology continues to evolve as communications between buildings has been upgraded. A school committee set the goal for Rising Sun to be a 90-90-90+ school- with at least 90 percent of students reading at grade level or

above, at least 90 percent passing the ISTEP and the End of Course Assessments, and 95 percent graduating on time. The school system had its budget cut $250,000 by the state in the middle of the 2010-11 school year and has been forced to squeeze its pennies. Both the City of Rising Sun and Ohio County helped the school by giving it a portion of their riverboat casino tax revenues. Prevention is the key word at Rising SunOhio County Community Schools. Safety has been at the forefront of changes from more secure buildings to safer transport of students to and from school. A new safety insured playground was installed at the elementary school in the summer of 2011. The H1N1 virus has brought change to everyday cleaning and health emphasis. Hand sanitizers and hygiene education is a top priority for students and staff this school year. For the past several years, there has been an ongoing upgrading of the school facilities that has included renovation to the electrical system at Rising Sun High School along with painting and carpeting at the Rising Sun-Ohio County Elementary-Middle School completed. Telephone and communications systems were upgraded. In 2009-2010 the school system implemented a new Internet link allowing parents to see the progress of their child, as well as

communicating with teachers. An emergency notification plan alerts parents of early release from school and other important information. The replacement of the HVAC system at the OCEMS along with a new entrance and classroom renovations , along with a new entrance and additional classroom and locker room facilities at the high school were part of a $9 million renovation. An addition to the administration building was also part of the project. The schools have a card key entry system and security cameras throughout the buildings. Upgrading of middle school restrooms and installing of lights to the athletic fields were the major projects of 2004. New lockers were installed in the summer of 2003 and students built new display cases at the high school. A new technology position was established in 2004 to deal with the increasing changes in advancing the school? computer system. About 1,000 students attend grades kindergarten through 12. Some students take part in the Ripley-OhioDearborn Special Education Cooperative. Junior and senior class students are offered an opportunity to spend part of their school day at the Southeastern Career Center. TechPrep courses are offered to develop skills for the workplace.

RISING SUN

Sea and air draw people to Rising Sun Economic development is a focus in Rising Sun and the river, which once was a flourishing site for business, has again become the focus with a new boat ramp and seaplane operation. The new nine lane boat ramp opened in 2012 in time for the annual Ohio River Cats fishing tournament held the second weekend of September. Troy McVey of Milan and the Rising Sun Ohio County Port Authority have been working to get Mac’s Seaplane Service up and running with aerial tours. Mayor Branden Roeder took over in January after a slim three vote win (after a recount) that made him the youngest mayor in Rising Sun history at age 29. Rising Sun has no hospital, so few can say they were born in Rising Sun but once they return home from the hospital many say they have lived in Rising Sun all their lives. Referred to over the years as a bedroom community, Rising Sun officials are looking to attract people to the smallest county in

the state of Indiana so they might see what is so special about the riverfront community, hoping they might consider it the place for their retirement. The tourism commission and historic downtown also promote Rising Sun as a place for couples to start their lives together as they use the riverfront overlooking the Ohio River and the hills of Kentucky as the backdrop for their wedding. For four straight years, Rising Sun has been named Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation. The city of Rising Sun has been designated as a golf cart community, allowing properly equipped motorized vehicles to be operated on city streets. The golf cart ordinance was put into place in an effort to help residents fight high gas prices and help the environment. Rising Sun was has been designated a tree city as well but many of the town trees were destroyed during storms in 2008. The theme for Rising Sun has been

“Where Main Street Meets the River.” Well-known as a community honoring its veterans, the Veteran Tribute Tower at the foot of Front and Second streets was the first of 100 clock and bell towers to be erected nationwide by the Verdin Company of Cincinnati. Much of the work in recent years has been to develop a Performing Arts Center in the former Presbyterian Church, now known as Heritage Hall, which opened in the spring of 2008. The city purchased the former Fryman property with plans for a parking lot for boaters. New docks were installed in 2004 at the marina located at the end of First Street. The fifth phase of a multi-phase development of the riverfront is nearly complete with scenic walking paths along the riverfront. Rising Sun is Ohio County only incorporated city. The downtown once flourished from trade on the Ohio River but now uses

Continued from Page 67 the river as a draw for tourists. The city utility now offers high speed wireless internet service though Ohio River Valley Communications. On June 30, 1995, Rising Sun became the first community in Southeastern Indiana to be selected to receive a riverboat gambling license. The Rising Sun Riverboat Casino & Resort Venture was selected and has financial backing from Hyatt hotels. The boat opened in September 1996. In 2011, the casino was sold and is now Rising Star Casino & Resort. City officials moved into a new city building, Fourth and Walnut streets. Rising Sun had been without a city hall since 1994 after holding its meetings at a temporary administration office, 119 N. Poplar St., and the community building. The community building and park pool opened in 1998. A medical center opened near the casino entrance on Sixth Street. Terms of the contract also called for downtown renovation funding, utility plant development and investments in the community. Since given license approval, Rising Sun has given a face-lift to its downtown with new streetlights, benches, banners and flowers as well as new sidewalks and pavement. The improvements continue to the riverfront where a riverwalk, pavilion and more improvements have been made. Sidewalks are being constructed throughout town as part of infrastructure development. The city police offices are located at First and Poplar streets across from the former utility office. The street department uses the old facility but erected a new garage at the city/county park. The city and county fire and life squad departments are are housed in a communication center on South High Street.
