Dubois County Museum exhibits 'The Cold War' On Flag Day, June 14, the Dubois County Museum opens its newest exhibit—"The Cold War," as an addi- tion to the Military Exhibit Gallery. The largest item in the exhibit is too large to be brought into the museum. It is the siren on a high post taken from the Haysville Fire Department, and now found on the southeast cor- ner of the museum. It was used for warning about an imminent nuclear attack from the 1950s until the 1990s. Of course, impending natural disas- ters called for its use also. The young people are probably not aware of the Cold War that the U.S. was involved in during 1945 until 1991. A Cold War is the opposite of a "hot war" with guns blazing. The Cold War is a time of secrecy and double- dealing between the two parties—in this case the United States and the U.S.S.R., commonly known as Russia. The county's citizens who lived dur- ing these years learned of fallout shel- ters and emergency actions needed if radioactive fallout fell on the farm. With Crane Naval Station so close to us, we were definitely in danger. On display will be Civil Defense gas masks, Civil Defense uniforms, a heavy tin of candies to be passed out as quick nutrition, many book- lets with instructions and a poster for your front window if you need help. The most famous artifact is a piece of the Berlin Wall from when it came down in 1989. These pieces of the wall were taken home as souve- nirs in that era. Even though the U.S. and Russia were allies in W W II, they were quite distrustful of each other. Their inter- actions with each other were through other states, who fought for their be- liefs such as South Vietnam (non- communist) backed by the U.S., and North Vietnam (communist) supplied by Russia and Communist China. The same was true of South and North Ko- rea. In A fghanistan the Americans supplied the rebel A fghans after the Soviet Union invaded in 1979. Folks remember the building of the Berlin Wall in 1961, the Revolt of Hun- gary, the Suez Crisis, but The Cuban Missile Crisis was one of the few times that the "rules" of the Cold War were nearly forgotten. Those frightening hours live on in the memories of those all over the world who were watching it unfold on T V. In fact, the weapons of mass destruction was the most worri- some element of the Cold War. In 1986 a meeting was held be- tween U.S. President Reagan and U.S.S.R. President Gorbachev. These discussions led to the famous words of Reagan; "Mr. President, tear down this wall." The fall of the Berlin Wall finally officially came on December 26, of 1991. The museum is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday 1-4 p.m. and closed on Mon- day. The Dubois County Museum is located in Jasper at 2704 N. New- ton Street (US 231). Phone 812-634- 7733. Allow two hours to view exhib- its. Visit the museum website at www. duboiscountymuseum.org. Like them on Facebook at Dubois County Mu- seum.

Community garden project seeking volunteers A group of volunteers helped Girl Scout MaKen- na Goings with her public service project, which is a community garden in Winslow. Goings at- tended a Girl Scout event in Costa Rica last year on a scholarship. She was required to do two ser- vice projects: one in Costa Rica and the other in her community. Goings attended Winslow Town Council meetings and received permission to put out the community garden. The group planted almost 100 plants on Monday evening that in- cluded: tomatoes, zucchini, squash, bell peppers, banana peppers, lettuce, cabbage, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, kale and eggplant. Goings' scholarship paid for the plants. She said she is hoping Winslow residents will help with the up- keep of this garden, adding anyone who helps with watering and weeding are welcome to re- ceive the garden's yield. For information about how to sign up to help, call Winslow Town Hall at 812-789-2207. Above are (l to r): Kyana Hensley, Makenna Go- ings, Danielle Phipps, Dana Strohmeyer, Robyn Goings, Amy Barrett, Tucker Satterly and Anna Satterly.
