State Rd 257, Washington, IN - www.graberauctions.com FRANK COLEMAN VOTE PIKE COUNTY SHERIFF Paid for by Marté Daves Before having children I seriously undervalued the saying, "It takes a village." I had serious doubts that someone else could possi- bly know what was best for my child. Once that baby came home, however, it became increasingly clear at an alarmingly fast rate that raising this child was going to take a team effort. As a mom I want to believe that I can singlehandedly handle all of the stressors that are thrown my way. But truth- fully it does take a village, and finding your village ear- ly is important. American society some- times gives fathers a bad reputation, like they are in- competent or don't know what is best for their babies, but that is simply not true. Most dads are capable and willing to play an essential role in caring for their chil- dren. Actually, when both par- ents are involved in the child's life and sharing the load it is best for everyone involved. As an infant this helps the child form a healthy attach- ment to both parents. As the child gets older it allows them to see the strength of their team and understand the importance of their sup- port system. It's especially important for parents to communicate early about what beliefs and morals they want to instill in their child. It is also impor- tant to decide on a discipline style when your child is still very young. As your child gets older and starts to challenge the rules parents have laid out, the parents will find more success in changing nega- tive behavior if they share a discipline approach. It's especially important not to undermine the discipline techniques or strategies of the other parent in front of the child. This gives the im- pression the child does not need to take discipline from one parent as seriously as the other. If we're being honest, it takes more than just the par- ents to raise a child. It is im- portant to have outside sup- port. Sometimes this will look like extended family or friends. The role that these people will play in your child's life is also important. This extend- ed support network can of- fer you relief as a parent, and they may also have the op- portunity to teach your child things that you may not be able to. As your child grows, so does their village. Often times we underestimate the impact of daycare workers and teachers as part of our village, but these are people who are helping shape the daily lives of our children. Outside of educating our children, they're also teach- ing them empathy, team- work and showing them co- pious amounts of love while you're away. Truthfully, you can never have enough positive role models for your children. It's good to be picky about the people you surround your child with, but know that allowing more people into their lives allows them to feel more love. It gives them more opportunities to grow and allows you to take a step back and be grateful for the support and love in your own life.

Halloween doesn't just happen on Oct. 31 any- more. In my town, we have a mon- ster parade that marches though the entire city, bringing joy and flamethrowers to thousands of on- lookers. It ends in a massive dis- co dance par- ty for the whole community — with all the people clad in costume and on their eighth wind from candy-curated sugar highs. I love this night. Last year, I spent it alone, in the rain, crying in my Grumpy Bear costume. It wasn't anything tragic that led to my tear-filled tan- trum in my rain-cloud-bel- lied costume, just your run- of-the-mill annual maternal breakdown. Too much work trying to create cheer (Hay- rides! Pumpkin carvings! Bobbing for apples! 7,000 trunk-or-treat parties! Hal- loween-inspired dinners!) with too little appreciation. I had run the family rag- ged, to the point that no one wanted to voyage out into the rain for the parade — the only event that I per- sonally looked forward to. I dragged myself out alone, in an act of grumpy defiance, but I had forgotten an um- brella, so I stood there cry- ing like a drenched teddy bear. It would have made the perfect picture for a "get well soon" card. The optics and pure iro- ny of my weath- er-commiserat- ing costume — in the rain, with tears raining down my face — was enough to make the pas- sers-by giggle. Not in a cru- el way. Frankly, the ridiculous- ness of it all was enough to make me giggle — which is what ultimately pulled me from my Care Bear bawl and brought me back into the world of Frankenstein's monsters dancing to "Mon- ster Mash" and zombies posing to "Thriller." I wound up having a pret- ty fabulous time. Treated myself to a sweet coffee, ate candy and practiced my Care Bear Stare on the drunken people who were irritating me across the bon- fire. Despite my protrud- ing tummy (thanks, Milky Ways!), sadly no evil-blast- ing rainbow emitted from my abdomen to knock out the folks across the way. Still, though, it was nice to practice. In that moment, I prom- ised myself that next year would be different. Next year, I, too, would enjoy my most favorite holiday. Halloween's origin can be traced back to a Celtic festi- val, and the Celts had strong faith in the prophetic nature of the evening, so I was stak- ing my claim and insisting it must be true. We are now at next year. Clearly, the Care Bears are of Celtic origin, because it worked! Or maybe the spirits who came out to play simply appreciated that my costume (which, let's face it, is really just deliciously comfy footy pajamas) has a hood that makes it look as if I'm wearing an animal head atop my own. Perfect cultur- al throwback to the times when folks danced around in the heads of their animal sacrifices to the deities. Why, yes, spirits, I did just slaughter a blue bear and am wearing his fur around me. Thanks for no- ticing. Every year seems to get busier and busier, but along with the new must-dos, oth- ers seem to get crossed off the list. This year, it was the hubbub around Hallow- een. We went to a kid Ok- toberfest; we passed on the pumpkin patch. We have yet to carve our Trader Joe's pumpkins, but that means we also avoided the pre- mature rot, tears and need to carve yet another set of pumpkins. No bobbing for apples means no spreading strep throat across the en- tire kindergarten class. (I have no idea whether bob- bing for apples was the cul- prit, but I'm blaming it for the illnesses that consumed my household in early No- vember of last year any- way.) Rather than decorate the house myself, I bought my son paper with perfo- rated cutouts and tape. We turn off the T V and put him to work. He's loving it, and I get to sit on the couch alone for a moment. My kids are wearing last year's cos- tumes (and are totally hap- py about it). And so am I. This year, Grumpy Bear returns to the parade. It's to- night, and based on how the holiday season has been go- ing so far, I'm pretty confi- dent we won't have a repeat of last year. The family is excited, and we have made plans to join the parade, meet up with friends and dance with mon- sters. And if our plans fail and soaking wet, tear-stained Why-Do-I-Even-Care Bear makes a return, I'll have someone take a picture. At least then I'll make a killing from Hallmark's buying the rights to my "get well soon" cards. Like Katiedid Langrock on Facebook, at www.facebook. com/katiedidhumor.
