On a frigid morning on January 3, 2008 at approximately 6:03am Rising Sun Fire Department was dispatched to a structure fire lo-cated at 5625 Salem Ridge Road. It was further dispatched that therewere occupants still inside the residence. Upon arrival two people werefound lying in the front yard and the firemen were advised that onefemale was still inside. A resident was pulled from the fully involvedbuilding by firefighters Danny Cyrus and Greg Peelman. Two others weretransported to UC via AirCare helicopter.

Danny Cyrus and Greg Peelman have been recognized by theState of Indiana for their heroism and acts of bravery which went be-yond the call of duty...risking their own lives to save another's. DannyCyrus is a 13-year veteran firefighter and EMT who started his career in1995 with Bear Branch VFD. Danny completed his EMT certificationand began to run with Switzerland County EMS. Later, Danny moved toOsgood for approximately one year and served on Task Unit 1 whilethere. Danny then moved back to Bear Branch and ran with them until2000, then moved to Rising Sun. However, there were no openings onthe fire department at that time and Danny ran with Patriot VFD. Dannydid join the Ohio County EMS and then a year later filled an openingslot on the Rising Sun Volunteer Fire Department. He has served sincethen on both departments.

Greg Peelman is a 17-year veteran firefighter and EMT. Gregstarted his career with East Enterprise VFD in 1989. During Greg’s ser-vice at East Enterprise he also served as an EMT for Switzerland CountyEMS. In 2006 Greg joined the Bear Branch VFD where he still serves.

Danny Cyrus responded from his home nearby, having just got-ten off call with the Ohio County EMS. Greg Peelman was en route tohis job as a union boiler maker at AEP in Lawrenceburg. The tempera-tures that morning were in the single digits. Without question the twovictims would not be here today without the quick actions of these twobrave men.

On Saturday, December 13 at the annual Emergency ServicesChristmas Party, Rising Sun Fire Department Chief Kevin Armstrong pre-sented Danny Cyrus and Greg Peelman with The Medal of Valor, thestate's highest honor awarded to those who perform acts of bravery abovethe call of duty.

In an emotional tribute to these two men, Armstrong congratu-lated Cyrus and Peelman saying, “I feel without their quick actions thesevictims would not be with us. Without regard for their own safety, Cyrusand Peelman together pulled a woman from the burning structure andthen rendered first aid to all of the injured until fire and EMS apparatusarrived.”

Ready or not 2009 is here. Time flieswhen you are having fun! This year, theHistoric Downtown Program will be work-ing on quite a few projects. A façade

rehab program on Main Street will be keeping us busy. Partnering witha few of the property owners will give the downtown a facelift.

Also, the Ohio County Community Foundation approved a grantfor us to create a Building Inventory for the buildings on Main Street.The Inventory will include rental information, history of the businessesin each building, and information collected over the years from two dif-ferent architectural firms that categorized the buildings on Main Street.Once all the data is collected, the books will be donated to our schools,library, city, museum, and other local entities to preserve our history.Plus, binders will be made for our office and other committees to useday-to-day and can be updated easily. So, all local historians, if youwould like to help with this project stop by our office, we will appreciateany feedback or participation.

Our Annual Historic Downtown Program meeting will be January27, 2009 at 6 pm in Heritage Hall. Our 2009 membership drive starts in

January. We are looking forward to serving the businesses in our com-munity. However, you do not have to be a business owner to be a mem-ber of the Historic Downtown Program. Anyone with an interest in ourcity should join. As a member there are benefits, such as, 100 freeblack and white copies a month, 25 free color copies a month, secre-tarial services, fax machine, access to our growing library with currentbusiness books, wonderful networking opportunities within our com-munity, expert one-on-one counseling services through the Small Busi-ness Association, targeted special interest meetings throughout the yearon topics of interest for small businesses (for example, Affordable Mar-keting Workshop through the OCRA grant January 21 and MarketingBasics April 21), volunteer opportunities to help shape our community,link your business’s website to the Historic Downtown’s, and a 10% dis-count for rental fees at Heritage Hall. Refer to the article in this issue ofCommunity News for more information or call 438.2750. A big thank you to everyone who has been encouraging and support-ive though out 2008. We look forward to working with everyone in 2009.We are so blessed to have such a lovely community. May God keepwatch over our home and all of our armed service men and women.

I hope that the holidays were good for folks here in Rising Sun or at least fair giventhe state of our economy. Starting out this year is not good for our country or our stateand even for our community. As we start this 2009 year along with a new president andwith the long session of our state legislature, and also knowing the shortfall that the statehas to deal with, it does make me feel uncomfortable, as Mayor of the City of Rising Sun,knowing the drop in the income from our gaming facility. I know we have to make somecuts, some can be as much as 25%. These are some of the things that you don't like todeal with in any position. But realistically it has to be done to survive, what we do hope isthat the economy will turn around.

Some projects that we hoped we could possibly look at starting this year may beput on the back burner for the time being. I think that is wise on our part. I know this cityhas to keep moving forward. So we will look at the highest priority project that the city willbenefit from the most. And even then some of those may be waived for a time. Oneproject that I hope we can move forward with but maybe at a slower pace is our Phase 4Riverfront Project. This is one project that will complete most of the riverfront along withmonies that we did receive from federal funds back in 2006. So we have those funds toput towards this project to keep it moving forward. Even with those funds we have tomake sure that we have enough set aside to complete this project.

Clerk Treasurer Ray Baker Gipson and I are working on these numbers for CityCouncil to look at, probably by the time this paper has been published. Most of the cutsof what we are looking at would have been finalized, and even then City Council can askfor more, if our numbers are not comfortable for what we have coming in from our gamingfacility.

The Clerk Treasurer's office is working on a new website for the city. We had re-ceived some funds for this and we hoped that this can be established sometime in 2009with information about the city and all offices.

Again, I ask for everybody to keep our men and women in the armed services in their prayers and ask God to watch over our greatcommunity and our country as we start this new year with a new president.

Guest Column by Dearborn–Ohio County Deputy Prosecutor, J. JeffreyDornette

The Ohio County Superior Court will disappear December 31,2008. Personally, it will be a sad day. I was the first Deputy Prosecutorassigned to the Court when it started in 1975, with Judge Ed Jamespresiding. Ironically, I am the last Deputy Prosecutor with Judge JohnMitchell presiding. In between, I had a 25 year career in private prac-tice.

The Prosecutor is the chief law enforcement officer for everycounty in Indiana. The experience provided me with a long-term per-spective of drug activities in Ohio County ranging from the 1970’s bur-glary of Dr. Fessler’s Rising Sun office for pain pills to 2008 metham-phetamine lab operations. Drugs of choice change over time from co-caine to heroin, methamphetamine, and the latest epidemic, prescrip-tion medicine. These drug cases are a big part of the day-to-day crimeswe prosecute in Ohio County. The numbers of persons stopped forpublic intoxication, drunk driving, fights with their spouses and thosefound to be in possession of “pills” is astounding. It leads us to believethe epidemic is wide spread.

Pain pills require law enforcement attention because their abuseis rising, addicts commit crimes to get the drugs and the addiction isvery hard to control. Hydrocodone and Oxycodone are both made fromopium and both are frequently abused in this area. There are alsomany other prescription drugs including antidepressants, depressantsand stimulants. They all seem clean and harmless, compared to illicitdrugs such as Mexican tar heroin, but contain the same basic drug,opium. As a result these pills are just as dangerous and addictive asheroin.

These drugs come from Walgreen’s, or grandma’s purse, but havethe same risk and rates of addiction as heroin. Its users are junkies,addicts who will lie, cheat and steal to get the drugs. Children stealthem from parents and grandparent’s medicine cabinets. Elderly selltheir prescriptions and junkies doctor shop to get them. Abusers crushthe pills and snort them to absorb them faster and in a more concen-trated dose.

Doctor shopping is a common source for the drugs. Going to anumber of physicians and lying to get prescriptions for the same drugpresents a lower risk than a trip to Cincinnati’s “Over the Rhine”. Easyaccess contributes to the problem. Some in law enforcement attributea local decline in methamphetamine use to pills. Doctor shopping ison the rise and a serious local problem in our community.

People convicted of these crimes cross all socioeconomic barri-ers. It is not uncommon for a person addicted to prescription drugs tobe employed with a good job and nice home and face the possibility oflosing it all because of a serious addiction.

Prescription drug abuse is a serious crime because it has signifi-cant consequences on the users, their families and the community.Young people are frequent abusers, so parents keep an eye on yourmedicine cabinet. The pills are small and available. Visit the website,www.drugfree.org to find out how to protect your family.

Ohio County is a great place to live and raise a family, but thisproblem must be addressed. I have enjoyed serving Ohio County overthe past several years. As we say goodbye to the Ohio Superior Court,the problem with drug abuse is still here and we must continue thefight.

The Governor's Commission for a Drug-Free Indiana has desig-nated a Local Coordinating Council (LCC) in every county within thestate. These LCCs are responsible for overseeing the allocations of theDrug Free Communities Fund. At least 25% of the funds must go to-wards each of the following areas: prevention/education, criminal jus-tice, and intervention/treatment.

Well, here it is another month, another year. The holiday seasonis past and a new year has begun. We have had a really good monthhere at the shelter. We have had many animals adopted from all overthe tri-state, thanks to our web site http://members.petfinder.org/~IN106 and Bretzel's PC Repair for keeping our computer at its best.

We also got some new walls put up at the shelter thanks to themany donations and a big thank you to the Cecil, Joann, and MelisaIrwin family and to Paul and Darlene Walton for their generosity.

We at the shelter owe a lot to the many people who have do-nated to the shelter, and we can not forget our local library, and of courseCub Scout pack 650, the Taylors, Dave Otter family, Karen Baillie, Danny& Rhonda Vinup and the kids, Adam Warner, Doris, and B and B con-tracting.

Rhonda Vinup and Karen Baillie put final paint in place on new walls. Someof the paint was donated by our local Valley Supply.

lots of puppy and cat paws adorn the new walls and doors...

Little Shorty and all of us at the Ohio County Animal Shelter would like towish everyone a great new year. Thanks to all, till next time.

The Indiana General Assembly re-organized in November. I at-tended the swearing-in ceremonies in my capacity as Legislative Liai-son for the Ohio County Council and Ohio County Board of Commission-ers and as Chairman of the Legislative Committee for the Association ofIndiana Counties.

The Association of Indiana Counties (AIC) represents over 1,800county elected officials throughout the state. An AIC cornerstone posi-tion is exactly the same position held by Ohio County elected officialsand citizens, “As many policy decisions as possible should be made bythe level of government closest to the people: county government.”

The General Assembly will consider many issues during the com-ing months. On behalf of the residents of Ohio County, I will closelywatch issues that impact our daily lives, particularly those that takepolicy decisions away from our local government to allow elected offi-cials in Indianapolis to make decisions that are best made in Ohio County.

Our first watch list:1) Riverboat tax revenue: Ohio County opposes any attempt to

capture more of your tax revenue from Grand Victoria.2) County finances: Ohio County and the AIC support legislation

that recognizes that county officials are in the best position to deter-mine local fiscal needs.

3) Local government restructuring: Ohio County and the AIC sup-port opportunities to improve efficiencies. Ohio County opposes elimi-nating your county elected officials and replacing them with a singlecounty executive.

4) State mandates: Too much of our property taxes are a result ofthe State mandating programs and services. Ohio County and the AIC

New Way to Approach 2009Now more than ever, you may want to

consider a “Life Coach”. These are times of greatchallenge to hold the old adage of “PositiveThinking”. Careers are changing and for sometheir careers are ending. Life seems to be get-ting harder. More and more grandparents areraising their grandchildren.

I hear these comments quite often“ I am sick and tired of being on all this

medication”.“ I can’t keep going through life like this”“What am I supposed to do with my life”“ I have no motivation anymore. I’m al-

ways tired. I don’t want to cook or clean myhouse anymore.”

“I am so ANGRY”“Maybe this is just my lot in life”“ I do everything for everyone else, but I

feel selfish that I’m a little resentful about that.”“There is soooo much DRAMA. I just

The Future Generations Schol-arship program is a wonderfulway for Rising Sun High Schoolstudents to earn scholarshipmoney for college while volun-teering in their community. TheOhio County Community Foun-dation (OCCF) is pleased to ad-

minister the Future Generations Scholarship Program. Thisscholarship program was established within the Ohio CountyCommunity Foundation in March of 2006 by Mayor BillMarksberry, City Clerk Rae Baker Gipson and the Rising SunCity Council. It is the goal of the City of Rising Sun to finan-cially assist every graduate of Rising Sun High School seek-ing to pursue a four (4) year college degree who meets thespecific scholarship criteria.

The first step in the Future Generations Scholarshipprocess is for students to choose an organization from theApproved Community Service Organizations list and performvolunteer work for that organization. Upon completion oftheir project, they will need to complete a Community Ap-preciation Service Reporting Form and have it signed bythe contact person for that particular organization. It is thesole responsibility of the student to submit the reportingform to the Ohio County Community Foundation in order toreceive credit for community service hours performed. Stu-dents may begin earning hours upon completion of theEighth grade.

The Approved Community Service Organization Listand the Community Appreciation Service Reporting Formsmay be picked up at the Ohio County Community Founda-tion located at 591 Smart Drive, Rising Sun. The Founda-tion is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.

In order for students to be eligible to apply for theFuture Generations Scholarship, they must have all requiredcommunity service hours completed by the last businessday of their Senior year before Rising Sun High School gradu-ation ceremonies. The Class of 2009 must have 30 hourscompleted; thereafter, 40 hours must be completed per stu-dent.

The Future Generations Scholarship is available toall 2006 and later Rising Sun High School graduates thatmeet the current year scholarship criteria. The additionalscholarship criteria may be obtained by calling the OhioCounty Community Foundation or by going towww.occfrisingsun.com. The scholarship amount for 2008was $1,000 per student.

Rising Costs Lead To Increasing Electric RatesAs a municipally-owned electric utility,

Rising Sun Municipal Utilities owns and oper-ates the local electric distribution system andprovides hometown service to area residents.The utility has also traditionally been one of thelowest-cost providers of electricity throughoutthe state. However, as costs continue to risenationally and globally, the electric industry isfeeling the financial strain. Earlier this month,the Indiana Municipal Power Agency (IMPA),Rising Sun’s wholesale power supplier, gave apresentation to the Rising Sun City Council thatprojected a wholesale power rate increase forthe electric utility to meet increasing costs. Ris-ing Sun Municipal Electric Utility may see a13.7% increase in its wholesale power costs in2009. Nearly 44% of IMPA’s cost increase is relatedto fuel. Since 2003, the cost of coal has in-creased 250%, uranium has increased 200%and natural gas has increased 125%. Theseincreases are a worldwide occurrence, and asfuel prices continue to rise, the costs of gener-ating electricity will also rise. IMPA is also seeing increases in system im-provement, new construction, environmental,transmission and operating costs. To date, IMPAhas invested nearly $100 million in emissionscontrol technology at its existing generation fa-cilities. Another $124 million will be used forstate-of-the-art emissions control technology at

the Agency’s newest facilities, which are cur-rently under construction. Despite these increases, IMPA has taken anumber of steps to manage future costs. TheAgency has a diverse power supply portfolio thatincludes coal contracts and long-term power con-tracts of varying lengths, which allow IMPA to

minimize cost fluc-tuations year toyear. The Agencyhas also alreadypurchased 30years worth of coalreserves at 2002coal prices (prior tothe escalation incosts) for use at itsPrairie State En-ergy Campus. Ad-ditionally, IMPA isinvestigating low-carbon and no-car-bon generating as-sets to help re-duce future envi-

ronmental compliance costs and is promotingenergy efficiency and conservation in its mem-ber communities. Although wholesale electric rates will go upnext year and in the Agency’s future, IMPA’smember communities will still receive electric-

ity at a competitive cost. Rising Sun and theother 52 cities and towns that purchase theirpower from IMPA consistently have electric ratesthat on average rank below those of the lead-ing investor-owned utilities in Indiana. In 2008,the average residential retail rate for electricityin IMPA member communities was about $85per 1000 kilowatt-hours of usage, nearly $10less than the average rate of Indiana investor-owned utilities. IMPA encourages consumers to monitortheir electric consumption and help keep theirbills low. The Agency’s website atwww.impa.com/consumer-corner.asp providestips to reduce energy usage and save money inthe process. By equipping homes and busi-nesses with energy efficient appliances andlighting, as well as taking actions to reduceenergy use, customers can help mitigate theeffects of rising costs. The Indiana Municipal Power Agency is thenot-for-profit wholesale power provider to 52cities and towns across Indiana and one Ohiocommunity who own and operate the munici-pal electric distribution systems in their com-munities. IMPA member communities deliverelectric service to approximately 300,000 indi-viduals throughout the state. For more infor-mation, visit www.IMPA.com.
