Meyer chose Princeton to raise 2 sons

By Hope Dawson

C

hris Meyer is a single mom who was born in Ohio and moved to Princeton when she was six.

She graduated from Princeton Community High School (PCHS) in 1969, and lives in Princeton with her two sons, Logan and Noah.

Chris works at Deaconess Hospital as a patient core technician in Evansville. She spends some of her free time working on getting her certified medical assistant (CMA) certification from Ivy Tech.

The rest of the time, Chris enjoys woodworking, sewing, but most of all, enjoys hanging out with her sons.

“I do that more that anything now,” she said, referring to spending time with Logan and Noah.

Logan is 17 and a senior at PCHS. He is part of PCHS’s Academic Bowl team and Debate Club. In previous years, he has been involved with band, theater, newspaper, and Key Club.

Logan is waiting to hear back from colleges, but wants to go to school for communications and political science.

Noah, 15, is a freshman at PCHS. He is involved in Adventure and Sci-Fi Club at school. His favorite class is art, but Noah doesn’t yet know what he wants to do when he is older.

Noah said his favorite things about living in Princeton are the calm way of life and the weather.

The Meyers family previously lived in North Carolina for a time. “People are more apt to be friendly here,” Chris said.

They returned to Princeton to stay close to family and to return home. “It’s home, I grew up here, and I like the small community,” Chris said, although she said she wishes she didn’t have to commute to support her family.

“It turns a 12 hour day into a 15 one,” she said.

She also explained how it took her a while to find a home for her family when she returned.

“Princeton needs affordable housing for singleparents,” she said.

Helpline offers free resources to Moms INDIANAPOLIS—Indiana State Department of Health’s Maternal and Child Health (MCH) MOMS Helpline emphasizes services that can help reduce infant death in Indiana.

“The MOMS Helpline is a free resource that assists pregnant women in getting access to early and regular prenatal care,” said State Health Commissioner Jerome Adams, M.D., M.P.H. “Visiting a doctor early and often can help give women the best chance of having a healthy baby.”

The Indiana State Department of Health has identified reducing infant mortality, which is defined as the death of a baby before his or her first birthday, as a top priority.

In an effort to help address this critical issue, the MOMS Helpline is committed to improving pregnant women’s access to early and regular prenatal care and connecting them with a network of prenatal and child health care services within their local communities, state agencies and other organizations around Indiana.

When a client connects with the helpline, the communication specialist at the helpline identifies her needs by obtaining household and demographic information, verifying income and type of health coverage.

Depending on the individual’s health coverage or income, specialists aim to provide at least three referrals for every need by matching the person with resources in the helpline’s extensive statewide information database.

Once women receive the

information and referrals, they are encouraged to call

the providers in their network to make an appointment.

Indiana State Department of Health Commissioner Jerome Adams Once women receive the information and referrals, they are encouraged to call the providers in their network to make an appointment. If necessary, specialists are usually able to find low-cost providers who serve the uninsured and sometimes provide free services.

Additionally, for the majority of cases, specialists are able to locate transportation services to and from medical appointments if needed.

The helpline can connect Hoosiers with services that include: Locating a health care provider Prenatal services Health coverage enrollment, including the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) 2.0 Care for baby, including the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program Baby programs, including safe sleep information Immunizations Baby items, such as cribs and car seats Care for moms

Community fits special needs family members

E

By Hope Dawson

dward Craig III, normally referred to as Eddie, has lived in Princeton his entire life. He graduated from Princeton Community High School (PCHS) in 1995 and works as a mechanic at Gibson County Coal.

Eddie met his wife Julie through a mutual friend. Previously, Julie lived in Indiana’s Crawford County. In 2002, she and her daughter Jada moved to Princeton so Julie could be closer to Eddie. Eddie and Julie married in 2003.

Jada Graves is 16 and a junior at PCHS. After she graduates, she wants to pursue some type of medicall career in college.

Eddie and Julie have two kids together, Eddie IV and Madelyn, affectionately called Maddie.

Eddie, 11, is in sixth grade at Princeton Community Middle School. Maddie is two years old.

Eddie has Down Syndrome. Julie said her favorite thing about Princeton is the great programs for special needs

kids at the public schools, and in the community in general.

“There is a lot of support with Eddie in the community,” she said. “At the high school, they talk to them and don’t exclude them.”

Julie is a stay at home mom and volunteers at Smile on Down Syndrome in Evansville, and at schools in the area, specifically working with other special needs students.

The family enjoys the small community, but also like that Princeton isn’t too small, and is growing.

“It’s small and homey but big enough to have jobs,” he said.

Julie likes knowing a lot of people in the area, and the general friendliness.

“Where I came from, we didn’t have neighbors,” she said, “if you weren’t related to them or happened to meet them at school or work, then you didn’t know them.”

The Craigs also enjoy the activities that the area has to offer. They like to golf and go to Evansville IceMen games together.

Create routines for less stress

R

outine gives babies a sense of well-being almost as soon as they are born. They feel reassured when their days have a predictable rhythm and where feeding, sleeping, playtime, bath time and other activities all follow along in a regular pattern.

In fact, this is the case for the whole family. Routines are a great way to reduce stress levels and provide a calm environment for the entire household.

Experts agree that children have a better chance of being healthier if they grow up within a framework that includes a predictable routine.

Because they know what to expect, children are able to focus more on what they are doing without worrying about the future.

A routine is a series of benchmarks that give children peace of mind, although parents be­nefit too. Let’s take the kids’ homework or tidying up their bedrooms as an example. The risk of conflict is greatly re­du­ced when it’s an established fact that homework has to be done at a certain time every day, and

A routine is a great way to reduce stress and provide a calm family environment. the room tidied every weekend.

Of course, routines vary from family to fa­mily. But whatever your routine looks like, it’s important that the rules are clear and everyone in the family respects them.

One tip: display a schedule of your routine in full view so that everyone can refer to it if ne­cessary, and leave an empty timeslot just in case something unexpected comes up.

Busy family appreciates Princeton’s ‘hometown feel’

By Hope Dawson

T

he Wallaces are a traditional middle-class, Midwestern family.

Carrie is a 15-year chemistry teacher at Princeton Community High School.Matt is a civil engineer at Clark Dietz Inc. They have been married for 21 years.

They both grew up in Gibson County, and met when they were 15. He graduated from PCHS in 1990, and she graduated from Gibson Southern High School in 1991.

They both decided to go to Purdue University, and when they completed their degrees, decided to return to Princeton to stay close to their families, and eventually create their own family.

“This was home,” Matt said.

They have two children, Abby and Owen.

Abby, 17, is a senior at PCHS, where she is involved in marching, concert, and pep band. She is the copresident of the environmental club, a member of the National Honor Society, and part of the Suzuki Violin Program at the University of Evansville.

She plans to study music education at the University of Evansville to someday be a band and orchestra director.

“It would be nice to be the director for Princeton or

go against Princeton,” she said.

Owen, 13, is a seventh grader at Princeton Community Middle School. He is part of Coding club at PCMS and LEGO League, which is an international competition where elementary and middle school students work in teams to create robots out of LEGOs and program these robots to complete tasks.

Owen said that he isn’t exactly sure what he wants to do yet, but he is interested in doing something in the engineering field.

Matt and Carrie agree that Princeton has been a great place to live and raise children.

They spoke of the hometown feel, low crime, the low cost of living, and how Indiana is one the few places where residents can experience every season.

Matt said he fits in the Midwest.

“I work with people out of the Midwest, and I can tell I have common Midwestern values,” Matt said, “they can tell I don’t live on the East Coast.”

Carrie said she enjoys the slower-paced lifestyle that Princeton provides, and that she doesn’t have to deal with traffic everyday.

She also said that Indiana has a good school system compared to other states. “The teacher says we have good public schools,” she mused, laughing at herself.

Abby and Owen both said they like living in Princeton, but the family agrees they’d like to see more diversity when it comes to shopping, restaurants, and

“But it is and has been improving,” Matt said.

Should you “friend” your child on Facebook?

W

ith more than one billion users, Facebook is the largest social network in almost every country around the world. As a pa­rent, you’ll find it’s difficult to escape the phenomenon. Is it better to be friends with your children on “FB” or, conversely, should you leave them this bit of privacy?

To answer the question, another has to be asked first: how old are your children? If they haven’t reached the minimum enrollment age of 13 but you let them join anyway (and lie about their age), it’s best to friend them so you can have some control over the information and pictures they publish on their walls. Be clear with your children that you’re not doing this to spy on them, but to protect them and teach them to re­cognize and avoid potential dangers.

But be wise; being their Facebook friend doesn’t mean you have to “like” and comment on everything they share. Be pre­sent, but stay in the back-

ground.

Your children’s need for independence and privacy increases during adolescence. Unless you have reason to be afraid of in­appropriate online behavior, it’s often better not to be their friend on Facebook during this stage of their lives. If they send you an in­vitation, then go ahead and thank them for the privilege. But if they don’t, don’t make an is­sue of it.

Safety should always be the prio­rity, whatever your children’s age. Show them how they can control the privacy settings and re­­mind them to never share per­sonal in­formation or com­promi­sing ima­ges. Be sure they know they can always count on you in the event of a problem.

Family is a factor in academic success Did you know that your home and family environment can affect your children’s academic performance in a major way? Studies demonstrate that encouraging exchanges and discussions du­ring the family’s eve­­ning meal is one of the most effective ways to maximize the chances of academic success.

Children develop self-esteem when they grow up in a family where others take the time to listen and be interested in what they do. At school, this feeling is re­flected in an in­creased confidence in their abi­lity to succeed. Not only does this confidence allow them to obtain bet­ter re­sults, but it sti­mu­lates them to give the effort re­qui­red to succeed, even when they’re having problems. As a parent, your role in this is crucial.

• Opt for a healthy lifestyle.

A balanced diet, exercise and 8 to 12 hours of sleep every day can increase a child’s concentration and reduce stress.

• Encourage your children.

Praise effort as well as success.

• Help your children become more inde­pen­dent. Supervise ho­mework but don’t do it for them.

• Have fun as a family. Playing is

a great way to combine fun and lear­ ning.

• Work with your child’s teacher. Go to mee­tings and don’t hesitate to contact the school if you have concerns.

Be there for your children and never give up on them. Teach them to have a positive attitude about their education, and, most importantly, commit to giving them support throughout their schooling.

The teenage years: a survival guide for parents Do you feel that your relationship with your teenager only involves fights, disagreements and mood swings? Has the sweet little baby you held in your arms just a few years ago turned into a monster? Don’t worry; the path your child is taking towards adulthood is actually normal.

Adolescence is punctuated by extreme hormonal changes, which cause physical as well as psychological and social transformations. If you find this stage to be a difficult one, don’t forget that for your teenager, it’s an overwhelming and exhausting time in their lives. But while teenagers are searching to figure out who they are and trying to redefine their identities, parents may also feel overwhelmed by events. It’s not easy to stay calm when you’re rebuffed morning, noon and night. Here are a few survival tips to help you through these tough times.

• Encourage dialogue. Whether you agree or disagree with what your teenagers say, listen to them with love and respect.

• Set firm limits that must be honoured. Explain the reasons behind them, and be consistent. Your teens need supervision.

• Don’t dramatize small conflicts.

Give your teens space to have their feelings.

• Trust them, but don’t hesitate to express your concern if necessary.

• Talk to other parents about what you’re experiencing in order to get some reassurance.

Some issues, if they come up, require a bit of advice and support from a third party: violence, eating disorders, extreme isolation or drug and alcohol abuse. But if that isn’t the case for you right now, just take a deep breath and look to the future with optimism.

After all, you pro­bably made your parents feel exactly the same way.

Make family exercise sessions your priority It’s not always easy to find the time and motivation to keep fit between work, homework, shopping, meals and housework. The solution? Make exercise a health priority for the whole family.

What’s important is to stay active.

Get all the members of your family moving by choosing activities that are simple and easy to integrate into the daily routine. Start slowly; a short

family walk after supper is a great way to form new habits. Break the monotony by changing your route on a re­gular basis. Finish your outing with a few fun challenges, such as walking backwards or hopping.

Everyone is sure to enjoy an improvised dance session in the living room. Swaying and jumping to your children’s favorite music is the kind

“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”

Proverbs 22:6

Francisco General Baptist Church

of cardiovascular exercise that burns calories. Get yourself an exercise ball or some elastic exercise bands; they’re inexpensive and can be used even when watching TV. Every week, ask family members to organize a session of their favorite physical activity.

There’s just one rule: every­one has to participate. You can go cycling, do yoga, go swimming, play beach volley-

ball, take a walk in the woods or jump rope — anything is possible.

Set yourself realistic family goals.

An hour of exercise a day may be too demanding, while 20 or 30 minutes could be enough to stimulate enthusiasm. You don’t want to discourage the troops.

After all, family exercise is healthy, but it has to be fun as well.

Dad said yes, Mom said no We can’t all agree about everything, no matter how much we love one another. Child rearing is often one of the main areas of contention between parents. A small disagreement isn’t dramatic, and in fact for a child, it’s healthy to realize that people can have different opinions, explain them cal­mly and reach a compromise. But what happens when your parenting disagreements are never-ending?

Parents tend to approach child rearing ac­cording to their own sets of values, which are usually influenced by what they experienced as children.

A father who was given an allowance

will tend to do the same with his teenager. The mom who was never gi­ven any pocket money may strongly disa­ gree with this approach.

Children faced with perpetual conflict bet­ween their parents may try to take ad­van­tage of it. If they know that Dad is more flexible about curfews, they’re sure to try and negotiate with him rather than with Mom. However, even if they get what they want, they may feel guilty for taking ad­vantage of the situation.

Disagreements can poison family life to the point where children end up be­lieving that everything is their fault. Parents have to try and reach agreement without arguing in front of their children. They must admit to the fact that their partner has the right to think differently. When pa­rents focus on a common goal, such as the happiness and well-being of their offspring, they find it easier to remember that the other parent loves the children just as much as they do.
