Crothersville Community Schools will be holding a “Night of Colors” on February 3 in conjunction with the Tigers basketball game with Henryville.
The purpose of this is to bring awareness to all the various forms of cancer, said CHS teacher Ryan Canada.
The boys will be showing their support by wearing pink socks and the cheerleaders as well as the girls’ basketball teams will also be showing their support by wearing cancer awareness shirts.
“There will be several opportunities for members of the community to show their support including: purchasing t-shirts, participating in a silent auction, purchasing cancer related merchandise, and making donations,” said Canada. All proceeds from this event will be donated to the American Cancer Society.
There will be silent auction with items including: Crothersville student artwork, autographed pink basketballs, autographed Toby Keith picture, $30 Tumbleweed gift card, homemade deserts, cancer poem – “I AM A Survivor”, and a number of late arrivals.
“We hope the Crothersville community will come out to support this worthy cause,” said Canada.
In order to build support for the “Night of Colors” students are asked to wear to classes next week: Monday, wear something green; Tuesday, wear something blue; Wednesday, wear something yellow; Thursday, wear something red; Friday – Wear something pink.

The Helping Hoosiers 4-H Club will meet tomorrow (Thursday), January 26 from 3-4 pm in the high school vocational ag room.
Guest speaker will be Debbie Hackman on recycling.
Refreshments and demonstrations are to be provided by Seth & Aaron Hoevener and Allison Davidson. Officer assignments for the meeting will be sent via email to the members.
Enrollment forms for 2012 will be distributed or are available on the county website or on Facebook. Copies will be distributed at this meeting. Dues for members in grades 3-12 are $20 and for those in grades K-2 are $8 and must be paid by the March meeting. Any new members are welcome to attend.

I remember the first camera I got as a youth.
I was in grade school and all the siblings (just me and a brother at that time) along with a number of cousins got Kodak Brownie cameras at Christmas. It was a simple box camera. The point and shoot version of its time in the late 1950’s. No focusing, no flash, no aperture settings. Just point it, hold it steady, and slowly press the shutter button.
I later learned Mom bought all of those cameras as a result of a promotion by Nestlé’s Quik. Each camera cost just a dollar and a proof of purchase was needed to complete the purchase. Which explains why my brother and I enjoyed gallons of chocolate milk that year.
Later in junior high, I was gifted a Polaroid Swinger camera. It was an entry-level version of the quick developing film camera at the time. Even at that young age we were entering an instant gratification age of life.
The Polaroid produced black & white photos that had to be coated with a swipe or two of a fixative otherwise the photographic image quickly faded into oblivion.
Eventually I bought a 35 mm camera and thought that was the ultimate. I shot up a couple rolls of 36-exposure color film on flowers, people, family, sunsets, and full moons. I hurried the film to the one-hour photo processor. The out of focus, poorly lit, poorly composed results were proof I had a lot to learn in the picture taking department.
But with time, trial & error, and several photo magazines and how-to books, I became more proficient. The newspaper industry routinely used Kodak Tri-X black & white film that could be bought in 12, 24 or 36 exposure rolls. Eventually, because of the number of photos taken for the newspaper, I bought it by the 100-foot roll and learned to roll my own. Film, we’re talking film here.
Then I got an auto-focus 35 mm and thought again I was at the apex of making pictures. The result was through the years, like many of you, family photo albums were filled with our own Kodak Moments.
When I finally bought my first digital camera for the newspaper and personal use, and the film cameras quickly were placed on the closet shelf.
And with such action I guess I helped to contribute to the demise of Eastman Kodak. While the Rochester, NY based company supplied a variety of cameras they were film cameras. After all, the company’s core product was film and they produce great quality film. Paul Simon even wrote and performed a song “Kodachrome”, the company’s flagship fine-grained color film.
But Kodak didn’t change while the digital demands of consumers did. And as a result, last week there was another Kodak Moment, when the company, founded in 1892 and brought affordable photography to the consuming masses for generations, filed for bankruptcy.
And that is a lesson for all of we Luddites. Change- though many of us don’t like it- is going to happen. We can change and make it happen or stay as we always are and wonder, “What happened?”

Indiana Conservation Officers of District 8, which includes Clark, Crawford, Floyd, Harrison, Jackson, Lawrence, Orange, Perry, Scott and Washington counties in south central Indiana made 349 hunting related arrests and issued 153 warnings in the 2011 Hunting Seasons, according to Conservation Officer Jeffrey Milner.
The most common violation that Conservation Officer’s encounter was hunting without license violations. There were 136 license violations were found during the various hunting seasons, including 101 occurring during the whitetail deer season. A close second was illegal possession/taking of game. Officer’s issued 116 citations to poachers for illegal possession. Many of those were for whitetail deer, but one included illegal possession of a bobcat, which is an endangered species in Indiana.
Forty-five hunters were charged with hunting without landowner consent. According to Officer Milner, “this is generally the most common complaint that we receive during the hunting season”. In Indiana you must receive permission from the landowner to hunt on private property.
Twenty-four poachers were arrested for hunting in closed season, which included the species of deer, fox, opossum, raccoon and turkey. There were also forty-eight check station violations that include such violations as, using someone else’s name on a deer or turkey tag and providing false information to the check station. In addition, 12 were charged with hunting with illegal weapons during the deer season.
Charges were also filed on 27 individuals for hunting without the required hunter orange. According to Corporal Terry Allen, “this is a major safety violation and is strictly enforced”.
Sixteen poachers were charged with hunting with the aid of bait and fourteen for shooting from a public roadway. Use of an artificial light to take deer was charged on 15 poachers along with 20 charges with hunting with the aid of a motorized conveyance.
One violation that added additional charges was the dumping of deer carcasses along the roadways.
Conservation Officers are still investigating several other cases that will eventually add to the totals for the 2011 hunting seasons. One common violation that is found after the season is the abuse of the landowner exemption to the hunting license requirement. “Many individuals claim to be landowners, when in fact they only rent a dwelling on the property, have a family member that owns the property, or lease the property for hunting rights, which none of these fit the exemption for the license requirement,” according to Officer Gary Pennington.

The Indiana State Attorney General’s Office has developed a new Online ID Theft Toolkit that helps keep citizens’ finances and credit safer in today’s world. Amy Wardlow, of the Consumer Protection Division, will present a free program demonstrating how to use this free online program at 6 p.m. Tuesday, January 24, at the Seymour Library
The State Attorney General office said, “Identity theft is a serious crime with serious costs for victims. Victims of identity theft may lose significant money and time attempting to correct their records and may find their reputation and credit rating damaged as a result.”
The Identity Theft Prevention Toolkit, fround at https://secure.in.gov/apps/ag/idtheftprevtoolkit/Login.aspx, helps victims correct their records and assists consumers to minimize the risk of identity theft. Each citizen gets their own secure online toolkit.
Wardlow grew up in Columbus and specializes in outreach and education at the state office.
