? A Stamp Collectors’ Market Place will be held at the Holiday Inn Lakeview in Clarksville on January 10 and 11. The Holiday Inn is conveniently located just off Exit 1 on I-65. The Market Place will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday. National stamp dealers will have a wide range of United States and Worldwide material available. You will be able to find accumulations, collections, covers, mint and used stamps, postal history, post cards, supplies, topicals, and much, much more. There will almost certainly be opportunities to obtain desirable items whether you are a beginner or an advanced collector hoping to fill a few blank spaces in your collection. There will be free publications (while they last) and a booth where children can play, color, watch television and get free stamps. There is no charge for admission and parking is free. There is also a chance for individuals to sell their stamp collections and accumulations to participating dealers. Dealers always need to buy material to maintain their inventory.

?Commentary . . . Reflections, Observations, and Expectations

Tuesday, 30 December 2008 00:00
? I have to say up front that I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions. I don’t have anything against them but the practice of making such promises to myself simply because an arbitrary calendar date rolls around seems wrought with potential for me to disappoint myself. I would prefer to set goals for myself rather than make promises to myself. I know that may be a distinction without a difference; in my twisted way of thinking a goal involves strategies whereas a resolution can lead to all sorts of self imposed guilt and disappointment as well as shortsighted rationalization. I do, however, see benefit in assessing progress toward goals and the setting of new goals at this time of year based on every changing conditions. Some of these changed conditions have been of my own making while others have been totally out of my control.

?WCMH continues to bleed red ink

Tuesday, 30 December 2008 00:00
? In an abbreviated public meeting following an extended executive session, the Washington County Memorial Hospital (WCMH) Board of Directors received still more disappointing financial information. According to Chief Financial Officer, Patricia Ellison, WCMH lost over $228,000 in the month of November and a total of $1.6 million, year-to-date. The financial report was accepted and approved by the Board without question or discussion. In other business, the Board heard from WCMH Chief Executive Officer, Randy Lindauer, about efforts and progress in recruiting Family Practice Physicians and Pediatrics Physicians. According to Lindauer, negotiations are going well with several doctors and it is expected that some sort of formal announcements are forthcoming after the first of the year. The Board also appoint three of its own members as representatives to a committee charged with negotiating a binding affiliation agreement with Saint Vincent Hospital of Indianapolis. In addition to members of the WCMH Board, members of the Washington County Council and the Washington County Board of Commissioners will also serve on the negotiating committee. Formal negotiations between the two hospitals are set to begin in January. With no further business to discuss, the Board adjourned until its next regularly scheduled meeting on January 29.

?Lanesville Board renews insurance coverage for personnel with Anthem

?? The Lanesville Board of School Trustees renewed the coverage of school personnel with Anthem, continuing the coverage they already have. The renewal was for one more year. “There was a 3 percent increase in the premium,” said Supt. Sam Gardner, who said that the price of the insurance premiums is based on a number of factors, such as “the loss ratios; what your claim history is.” After 41 years of service to the Lanesville Community Schools, thirrd grade teacher Michelle England was feted at a retirement reception last Friday morning (as part of the school’s Christmas program) by the school. She taught her entire career at Lanesville. Nathan Barnickle has been hired as England’s appointment for the third grade. He grew up in Lanesville, and attended the Lanesville Community Schools.
