(Letter to the Editor ~ 08/04/13)
To the Editor: We have only lived in Brazil for about eight years. I came from Florida and we never had festivals, so when we moved here, I thought it was great. To hear that the Popcorn Festival will not be going on anymore is very sad. I also get that the alcohol situation was the reason...

Not with my tax dollars
(Letter to the Editor ~ 08/04/13)
To the Editor: I was just curious who might have to pay to repaint the water tower near Interstate-70 due to the cancellation of the popcorn festival. That is an awful large amount of Whiteout. I certainly hope my tax dollars don't. Bill Dinkel, Brazil...

Why do we have funerals?
(Column ~ 08/04/13)
"Mom didn't want us to make a fuss." "Just put me in a box and bury me." We're sure you've heard phrases like these and chances are, you are starting to hear comments like these more and more often. Why have funerals? We live in a culture that is fast moving away from honoring those who have gone before us. People do not see the value in taking time to remember and honor their loved ones at a funeral or memorial service...

The local lore of Indiana snakes
(Column ~ 08/04/13)
I'm not sure why, but I have never feared snakes. Dogs? Yes. Snakes? No. Most of my friends fear snakes. My brothers, one in particular, are terrified of them. Actually, most all of the population has an instinctual fear of snakes. Fear of snakes is the No. 1 animal phobia in the United States, driving people to run them over with their cars, throw rocks at them, shoot them, and do many other countless things to what is really an eco-important and unassuming part of Mother Nature...
