The old folks packed up the van and took off for their annu-al Labor Day trip to Mt. View, Arkansas. Ray and I were gone a week.

This year this navigator routed us a few extra miles to venture into Walmart Country to check out the Crystal Bridge Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas.

Walton’s youngest daugh-ter, Alice, 64, shared some of her $81 billion worth – third richest woman in the world - by contributing to the Walton Family Foundation that built a museum to share her lifelong collection of art. After that we took in some shows in Bran-son.

I have written about Mt. View before. In the early years folks in the Ozark town were isolated and their main enter-

tainment was going to town and play music.

That tradition still holds, but now musicians have moved to town to join them, tourists that come to

play and folks like us come just to listen.

Any night you can find a group jamming somewhere around the courthouse.

On weekends there may be a dozen or so groups. Son-in-law Frank’s father, Francis, has taken to playing the fiddle in his retirement years and we often listened to the group he

chose to join. While listen-ing to a group play a gentle-man began talking with me and shared he put videos on YouTube.

Later, when we went to a little RV park church service Francis joined the musicians. There was my chatting friend taking a video.

Francis can now be seen on YouTube. (YouTube then Court Square Church 09-02-12).

It is a good time with daugh-ter Jennie and Frank, who live in Arkansas and asked us to join his family outing at Mt. View years back.

This year was special. Jennie and Frank realized that early retirement should have more value than surfing on their computers, so they decided to take in foster children.

We met Johnny, 11, a very

polite boy trying to please everyone, and David, 6, who was never quiet and always moving. (not their real names). Normal kids. Johnny created the biggest smile of the trip. As he held the car door for me, he kept asking if it was all right to close the door. Then he commented, “You overlap and I wasn’t sure when to shut it.”

We also made a visit at the Ozark Folk Center State Park located in Mt. View where there are cabins with various skilled craftpersons at work.

I treated myself by purchas-ing cute cups with different farm animals drawn on them from the potter. They are al-most spill proof when I go to my recliner where I check the news on Good Morning America.

One problem, I realized that

when I ate my cup full, I ate two-and-half cups of cereal.

It took four hours of moun-tain curves and roller coaster ups and downs to get to Ben-tonville to visit Crystal Bridge. Now considered one of the top art museums in the nation, it was impressive and will re-main that way, for the Walton Family Foundation has given it $1.2 billion to keep purchasing works and $20 million to offer free admission.

When we were about half way through it we stopped at a lounge area. There we found three note books with individu-al pages of art work there. We looked through them. It was a lazy way to see most of the 450 works displayed there.

Remembering LifeTime in Your Will and Memorials is a Lasting and Loving Gift

Climbing the corporate ladder takes time, devotion and ambition. After reach-ing the top, some professionals choose to change directions in a phenomenon called "downshifting."

A 2009 publication from the AARP Public Policy Institute noted that many older workers, as they approach retire-ment age, are looking to trade in a higher-paying, demanding job for one with more flexibility, less responsibility and lower pay.

A study by the University of Michi-gan for the National Institute on Aging's Health and Retirement Study found 28.8 percent of males and 24.3 percent of fe-males ages 51 to 55 changed careers after age 50.

In the current economy, this downshift-ing or career reassessment can be difficult to come by.

That's because there are many other job-seekers who are interested in any po-sition they can get and will be vying for the lower-paying jobs that some down-shifters may also be seeking. In addition, some firms won't consider applicants whom they deem overqualified.

Some human resources departments and recruiters simply overlook high-qual-ified applicants because they may assume the skill level also comes with a need for a high salary -- even if this is not the case.

There are others who are willing to take the gamble on a well-qualified applicant.

They realize that this opportunity may not come again if the market rebounds.

Those who are looking to downshift may have to change the ways they market themselves.

It may not entail listing your most no-table achievements on your resume, but rather selling yourself a little short.

Here are some tips you can employ if you're looking to scale back your job and responsibilities.

■Apply at smaller companies that may not have the staff or resources to pro-mote from within just yet. There's a good chance your experience and leader-ship abilities will be prized in such a company.

■Play up your assets, not the positions you have held, on resumes.

■Be honest in your cover letter, letting hiring managers know you are serious about taking a step back in rank.

■Consider freelancing or consulting if you're having trouble finding a full-time gig. Freelancing lets you set your own hours and pace.

■Find out if you can downshift in your current company. Some employers will be anxious to keep a good worker and see the benefit in paying a lower salary.

Not everyone is interested in moving up the corporate ladder.

Certain individuals are looking to downsize their jobs to gain more flexibil-ity for family, hobbies and other pursuits.

'Downshifting' new trend for some workers

Life is an amazing adventure that includes incredible highs and lows, the good, the bad, and sometimes the ugly. As someone has said, it is not a sprint, but a marathon in which we are required to cope with whatever situation comes our way.

One of my favorite expres-sions is "Only one life, it will soon be past. Only what's done for Christ will last."

This life is not forever, it is a fleet-ing thing. In the Bible, James tells us that even the rich are here tem-porarily, "But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withered the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the

grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways." (James 1: 10, 11).

The next verse tells us to hold fast to Christ for the opportunity to live forever. "Blessed is the man that en-dureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that

love him." (James 1:12), No this life is only a temporary

experience for all of us. Moses, in Psalms 90:10, advises, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we flyaway."

Dear Senior Source,

Q. I have been donating blood since I became a legal adult 40 years ago. I was recently placed on medication for blood pressure since it started to become erratic a year ago. I was under the impression that if you take any type of medication, you can no longer give blood. Is this true? I would like to keep donating, because I believe that it does save lives.

A. Donating blood is admirable. Far too few people who are able to donate blood and other life-saving fluids actually do it, which leads to shortages. Donated blood does help save the lives of people who are wounded or undergoing dangerous surgeries.

Many people who have been prescribed medications for certain chronic conditions think they can no longer make donations. A lot of times this is not true. Those taking medications for some chronic con-ditions, such as high blood pressure, can still donate blood as long as your

blood pressure is under control.According to www.hoxworth.

org, diabetics can donate blood, too. Oral diabetic medication, such as Metformin, is accepted. Insulin-dependent diabetics can donate as well, just as long as the patient hasn't been using beef-source insu-lin since Jan.1, 1980.

If you have concerns about donat-ing blood while taking medications, it may be best to contact the phle-botomy lab at your local hospital or donation site. Normally, techni-cians will ask medical background questions to rule out potential risks before donating.

I hope this information has been helpful to you, and as always. "May the Source be with You!"

where she raises cutting horses, buyers tremble.

Her purchases of Stuart’s painting of George Washington at $8.136 million or Peale’s Washington at $6.1675 million prove her dollar power.

Personally, my favorite was Andy Warhol’s painting of Dolly Parton with bedroom eyes and cotton candy hair. It just set her back $914,500 dollars.

There is no doubt that many lookers will travel the byways to the grand art museum in Arkansas.

We also visited the Walton Museum in the store where Sam Walton started his business.

I was impressed with how early he was into computers and cash registers

that register what was sold. Jennie and Frank applied there many years ago.

Their technology was first class, but the benefits did not impress them enough to work there. In college, Jen-nie once had a goal of being a Walmart manager. She did better.

Branson is quiet and quite manage-able in September. We took in four shows. During one, I nodded off even though it was quite loud from the min-ute it started until it was over. The Bald-knobbers offered lots of laughs.

I thought maybe I had enough music at Mt. View, but I especially enjoyed seeing Moe Bandy and Gene Watson and the Brett Family,

I might add that Ray passed the driv-ing test the whole route. Not one single person blew their horn at him.

It was a good trip.

The Indiana Commission for Women is seeking nominations for the 2013 Torch-bearer Awards.

The State of Indiana’s most presti-gious recognition of women, Indiana Torchbearers are those women who have stepped forward as leaders by breaking down barriers to women’s full participa-tion.

“These women become lasting legacies for us all by overcoming immense chal-lenges with courage, perseverance and compassion,” said Betsy Corridan, Chair of the Indiana Commission for Women Board of Commissioners.

Recipients will be selected from a pool of nominated candidates who have overcome obstacles, made extraordinary contributions or been pioneers throughout their lives.

Selection will be based on the recipi-ents’ demonstrated achievement in the

areas of their professional careers, com-munity leadership and/or public service. Recipients must be living at the time of their nomination.

Nominations will be evaluated with considerable attention given to those women who have been pioneers, have removed barriers and/or have made a considerable impact to the advancement of women in Indiana.

Visit www.in.gov/icw/2334.htm to download the nomination form and guidelines.

Submitted nomination forms are due on or before Friday, Dec. 14, at 5 p.m. Re-cipients of the 2013 Torchbearer Awards will be announced at an Awards Cer-emony March 6.

RSVP plans fun for all ages

Did you know?Many people are fully attentive when they get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. Motor-ists are increasingly concerned about rollovers, which are more prevalent in vehicles with a higher profile, such as SUVs and trucks. Rollovers may be caused by improper tire pressure, bad weather, potholes and over-correcting of a vehicle when swerving out of the way. Motorists can, however, reduce their risk of being in a rollover accident.

■Select SUVs with a wider distance between the tires in the back of the vehicles. This wider stance gives an SUV more stability than those that are narrow and tall.

■Keep driving speeds within the recommended range. Higher speeds often contribute to rollovers.

■Slow down when navigating turns, especially those on off and on ramps of high-ways. Slow down by taking your foot off of the accelerator rather than pressing hard on the brakes.

■Maintain proper tire pressure and regularly check if your tires are in good shape. Tire blow-outs may cause rollover accidents.

■Distribute items in the car evenly so weight is spread throughout. ■Keep an eye out for potholes and other road obstructions that could cause the vehi-

cle to go off balance.

Venison Meatball Sliders

Makes 14-16 slidersClean the venison very well, removing all fat and silver skin, then cut into large chunks. Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks as well. Toss all ingredients togeth-er (except for the rolls and cheese garnish) in a large mixing bowl and combine well. Grind all ingredients together through the smallest plate on your grinder. Mix well, then test one meatball for seasonings by quickly sauteing a small portion in a pan and tasting it; adjust the seasonings if necessary. Form the mixture into golf ball-size meatballs by rolling between your hands. Deep-fry the meatballs for 1 min-ute in 350-degree oil; then remove and let the meatballs drain.Place the meatballs gently in the simmering marinara sauce (see recipe below); simmer for 15-20 minutes, until cooked through. Serve on mini buns or small rolls with an extra spoonful of marinara sauce for each one. Add a touch of grated moz-zarella cheese to the top of each meatball, if desired.

Makes 5 cupsIn a large saucepot, saute the onion, garlic and celery in olive oil until soft. Deglaze with red wine and reduce until the pan is almost dry. Add the tomatoes, bring to a simmer for 8 minutes and then puree with a stick blender until smooth. Stir in the herbs and seasonings; simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes, then serve.

Last May I reached the age of 72, so I'm well aware that sometime ago I entered the the fall of life.

While some people call this life-time segment the golden years, I have reached a stark conclusion that there are a number of things I once did well and almost without think-ing, I cannot do as well--or even at all--today.

Unlike the way it may have been in our youth, we have learned while passing through the marathon of life what chronic aches and pains are, we have experienced our share of personal heartaches, and we have endured and enjoyed a myriad of ups and downs.

While I may no longer be as young or agile as I once was, life still holds plenty of joy for me--and I hope for you as well, if you have reached a similar stage in your life.

We still treasure our family as well as the friendships we have put together over the years.

We have had the joy of watching our children grow to adulthood and go out on their own.

We have known the joy seeing grandchildren and even great-grand-children come into the world.

We still have our faith and the hope of seeing Christ for ourselves as we are invited to enter into eternal life someday.

So, while life may end as we know it down here, we look forward with much anticipation to what may be over the next horizon for us.

We are only pilgrims in this life and are simply rehearsing for what lies ahead in a land where we'll never die.

I do want to see Christ Jesus in peace one day, don't you?

William Robinson is pastor of First Apostolic Bible Church, Lawrenceburg.

BY JASON ALDERMAN

When the last national census was taken in 2010, 48 percent of the population was classified as poor or low-income (earning less than 200 percent of the poverty level). Anyone who's ever tried to live on a low income knows how difficult it can be to make ends meet when cost increases for essentials like healthcare, housing, food and energy outpace their earnings. This can be especially challenging for seniors living on a fixed income.

The good news is there are literally thousands of federal, state and private assistance programs designed to help se-niors and others cover their basic needs. Your challenge might be finding ones for which you're eligible. Here are a few sug-gestions:

The nonprofit National Council on Aging offers BenefitsCheckUp (www.benefitscheckup.org), a free, confidential web-based service that helps seniors and their caregivers find financial assistance for healthcare, housing, food, utilities, in-home services and much more. After

answering several questions, you're issued a personalized report describing programs and services for which you may be eli-gible, including links to their websites and applications.

Several government-sponsored pro-grams help people with limited income and resources pay for medical coverage, including Medicaid and Medicare. For a good round-up of these programs, go to www.medicare.gov and click on "Get Fi-nancial Help."

Most pharmaceutical companies offer patient assistance programs (PAPs) that provide uninsured and low-income people access to prescription drugs they couldn't otherwise afford.

Ask your doctor, pharmacist or health clinic for details. Other good resourc-es include: Medicare's alphabetical list of drugs available through PAPs (www.medicare.gov/pap/index.asp); Partnership for Prescription Assistance (www.pparx.org); RxAssist (www.rxassist.org); and NeedyMeds (www.needymeds.com).

In addition, as a result of the Affordable Care Act, Medicare Part D participants

who reach the so-called doughnut hole coverage gap now receive a 50 percent discount on brand-name prescription drugs and a 14 percent discount on generics.

These discounts will gradually increase until 2020 when the doughnut hole will disappear altogether.

The IRS tax code includes several ben-efits that target seniors (and often, other lower-income taxpayers), including:

■A higher standard deduction amount for most people who don't itemize deductions if they and/or their spouse are over 65 or blind.

■An additional tax credit for lower-income people who are over 65 or disabled and file a 1040 or 1040A tax form. (For full details and eligibility, see IRS Publication 524 at www.irs.gov.)

■ Free tax return preparation assistance and counseling from IRS-trained volunteers is available to people over age 60, as well as low-to-moderate income folks and mili-tary families. IRS Publication 554 provides comprehensive help for seniors to prepare their tax returns.

Many government-sponsored benefits,

grants and financial aid programs exist to help seniors, low-income families and oth-ers pay their bills, including:

■LIHEAP (Low-Income Home Energy As-sistance Program) provides grants to help pay utility bills. To see if you qualify, go to www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/ocs/liheap.

■SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) helps millions of lower-income Americans buy nutritious food each month. Visit www.fns.usda.gov/snap for qualifica-tion requirements.

■Rental assistance for low-income families is available from several U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development pro-grams as well as other state and local agencies (see www.hud.gov/renting/index.cfm for details).

■Go to www.usa.gov/Citizen/Topics/Bene-fits.shtml for a comprehensive overview of additional aid programs.

And of course, don't forget to ask about senior discounts whenever you shop, trav-el or buy insurance – 10 percent here and there can really add up.
