Farewell to Dolores Emley Sadly, the last link to Over 50’s past has been broken. Dolores Emley, who cofounded Over 50 with her late husband, Fred, died July 20, 2014. The couple had been partners in life from the time they were married in 1950 until Fred’s death in 2009. Their journey through life took them from Cincinnati to Washington, D.C., to places around the U.S. selling advertising on telephonebook covers before finally “slowing down” for life on a farm in between Moores Hill and Dillsboro. Fred Emley was an energetic soul matched by Dolores, and through their nearly 60 years of marriage they tried their hands at various entreprenurial enterprises in addition to his work as a Cincinnati firefighter. Their only child, son Ed, recalled fondly
his parents’ energy and enthusiasm for life in a story marking the Emleys’ “retirement” in Over 50’s May 1999 edition. Their endeavors ranged from a huckster wagon to a vineyard, before starting their successful set of magazines including Over 50. But besides their businesses they were also active with the Shriners. Fred was a member of the group, and Dolores a member of the auxilary. The couple were well known around Dillsboro, not to mention much of Southeastern Indiana. Dolores’ death has left a hole in the hearts of not only her son and his To honor Dolores and Fred, one of Dolores’ columns writing under the name of Maud Quinby is included in this month’s edition.

Hensley receives award from Dearborn County Retired Teachers The Dearborn County Retired Teachers recently awarded Krista Hensley, Moores Hill Elementary first grade teacher, their 2014 $500 grant/award. Speaking on behalf of Moores Hill Elementary School was Principal Bev Moore who talked about how the teaching of elementary students has changed since the retired teachers have been in the classroom. She talked about the use of technology in the modern classroom and
how the current teachers are building on the foundation which the retired teachers had laid. Dearborn County Retired Teachers Foundation Chair Betty Bourquein then introduced Krista Hensley to the retirees. Hensley, a graduate of South Dearborn High School, has earned her Bachelor in Education from Thomas More College and her master’s degree in curriculum, instruction, and assessment from Walden
University. A teacher at Moores Hill Elementary for the past ten years, Hensley plans to use her new Ipads in learning centers for the students. Basic concepts in math and reading will be reinforced with the students as they engage in learning. Hensley will return next spring to the retired teachers’ get-together to demonstrate how the students used the technology to develop their classroom projects.

Hensley believes that technology is the ‘way of the future’. She says that students need to use technology as a learning tool, not just for games. Moore and Hensley bid the retired teachers
a hasty farewell as they were off to their open house for the start of the new school year. The Dearborn County Retired Teachers Foundation is a non-profit
which supports the students in Dearborn County. Tax-deductible donations can be sent in care of the Foundation to UCB Bank, P. O. Box 4070, Lawrenceburg, IN.

While some companies may require a contract for a year or more, others may not require the contract so customers can discontinue service based on their needs. According to a 2005 AARP survey, nearly 90 percent of adults age 65 and older want to “age in place” in their homes. It is important that individuals and caregivers seek out as many resources as they can find for this to be successful. A PERS is just one resource that has been shown to make an older adult’s independence more stable. If you need assistance in selecting the right PERS, please call the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) at LifeTime Resources to check if you or a loved one qualifies for assistance.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Editor’s note: The following was written by Dolores Emley under the name Maud Quinby for the July 1998 edition of Over 50. As spring arrived I could feel the urge to get out of doors and start planting. As usual it was way to early to put seeds in the ground. However it never hurts to plan ahead, as to where and what you would like to have in your flower and vegetable garden. We made two trips to the nursery to see what was available. The love of my life (my husband) picked up several trays of tomatoes and peppers with high
hopes of getting an early start. Mistake! Most of them died within a short time of planting. First it was too cold, then too wet, then very dry, then again too cold. There is just something about spring that makes you want to help mother nature replenish the earth. To make it beautiful and fruitful. I’m here to tell you that mother nature is not the only thing a farmer has to fear when planting too early or too late. For everything that grows there is something just waiting for it to come up so it can share your fortune with you. I know I’m
not telling you something you don’t already know, but I had to set you up for this story. We lived through the vineyard years fighting deer, bees, Japanese beetles and even wild turkeys. Yes even turkeys love grapes. The would sit on the vines when the grapes were ready to be picked and eat until they could hardly fly. Well this year we were going to be ready for all those predators. One of our neighbors up the road told us he had lost his first bean crop to the deer. After several trips to the hardware store and the plumbing shop, my hubby was ready
for war. Against all the nay sayers assurance that it would not work he built an electric fence all around the garden patch, six wires high. Even I had a hard time getting in there. “Be careful of the fence,” he would say as I went in to get our first lettuce. He was even more precise when he built a beautiful pole box filled with fresh bought potting soil to put our new strawberry plant in. He even put a little seat on each corner to make it easier to pick the berries when they arrived. Things were gong along fine until yesterday. As my
hubby walked out to the barn and caught a glimpse of a critter patting around in the new strawberry box. Two of the strawberry plants laid cross wise in the soil. All around the new box there were prints made by the many cats in the neighborhood. I think it would be fair to say my husband had just invented the first out of door strawberry kitty litter box in our neighborhood. The cats just love it. As for the garden, it held out the deer, but our neighbors pot belly pigs fit through the wires very nicely. And have found that the brand of lettuce we chose to plant fits right into their
PAGE 5
diet. I just can’t wait until those pigs go back home and tell my neighbor’s 14 goats, eight dogs and two cows and one horse where they had lunch. They all run loose, mostly in our direction. This is starting out to be an interesting summer. I hope California and Florida don’t run out of fruits and vegetables to send our way. I can’t wait to hear my son again say “the grocery store is having a sale on green beans, peas and corn. I think they sell four cans for a dollar.” Sometimes you just can’t win.
Rising Sun native returns home to practice family medicine The words “family” and “medicine” take on a renewed meaning as Dr. Christopher Walcott returns home this week to practice medicine at the Rising Sun Medical Center. A native of Ohio County and a Rising Sun High School graduate, Dr. Walcott is excited to be coming home to practice family medicine in the community he knows so well. “It’s not every physician who has the opportunity to settle down with their wife and son and open a full time practice in their hometown. I consider myself very fortunate to be able to do what I love, which is to practice medicine, in the community I love,” noted Dr. Walcott. “My parents and much of my extended family, along with many of my childhood friends and acquaintances, still live in the area so practicing medicine here is much more than a job. It’s like a special calling to give something back to my hometown and to all of the region.” Dr. Walcott is a graduate of the Indiana University School of Medicine and recently completed a three year residency in Family Medicine at the Community (Hospitals) Health Network in Indianapolis, where he served as a Chief Resident. “I am looking forward to working with Drs. Gary Scudder and Phumeza
their disease or their potential for disease goes a long way in empowering them to make healthy choices in almost all aspects of their lives.” A member of DCH Physician Partners, Dr. Walcott is currently welcoming new patients to his practice at the Rising Sun Medical Center, 230 Sixth Street. Same day appointments may be available.

Teacher treasure sale Sept. 6 in Aurora Parents,grandparents, home-schoolers, public school teachers, private school teachers, or anyone interested in having good teaching materials, come to the Teachers’ Treasures Sale at the Aurora Lions’ Club, Saturday, Sept. 6, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. New and different supplemental teaching materials are available for a donation to the Dearborn County Retired Teachers annual Educator Grant/Award. Retired teachers have collected their own personal items and good, useable materials from area schools to share with others interested in supplementing their lesson plans.

are just some of the available items. Recognized by the National Retired Teachers Association With Our Youth! for its innovative and creative use of materials to benefit students, the retired teachers have been able to help those interested in providing materials to their students. The Teachers’ Treasures Sale is sponsored by the Dearborn County Retired Teachers’ Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to helping the students in our local communities. All donations to the Foundation are tax-deductible. For additional information about the program, contact DCRTA President Denise Kaffenberger, 812-537-3520, or Educator Grant/Award Chair Betty Bourquein, 812-934-4454.

Did you know? The foods a person eats can increase his or her risk of developing various types of cancer. Sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate are widely used as preservatives, antimicrobial agents, colorings, and flavorings in cured meats and many other products. Nitrates and nitrites are commonly found in hot dogs and lunch meats. Once they are consumed, nitrates turn into nitrites in the digestive system, and it is believed that nitrites react with certain bodily chemicals and turn into cancer-causing carcinogens known as nitrosamines. Green, leafy vegetables and root vegetables contain naturally occurring nitrites as well. However, it is believed that nitrites in vegetables do not have the same effect on the body as artifically added ones, so the benefits of eating vegetables outweigh these risks. But avoiding nitrites does not mean people have to give up their favorite foods. Many types of bacon, hot dogs, bologna, and other foods now come in nitrite-free varieties, which is possible because salt, vinegar and sugar rather than sodium nitrite are used to cure the meat.
Buttermilk Cornbread ■1 ■ cup fine yellow cornmeal, preferably stone-ground ■1 ■ cup unbleached all-purpose flour ■11/2 ■ teaspoons baking powder ■1/2 ■ teaspoon baking soda
■1/2 ■ teaspoon sea salt ■1 ■ extra-large egg ■4 ■ tablespoons melted butter ■3 ■ tablespoons honey ■1 ■ cup buttermilk
Preheat the oven to 400 F. Put the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl, and stir with a wooden spoon until thoroughly mixed. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with the melted butter, honey and buttermilk. Stir into the dry ingredients to make a thick, smooth batter. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Turn out onto a bread board, cut into large squares and serve warm.
