BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

The long hot summer daysare slowly coming to an endand the fall season is approach-ing. We as residents of South-ern Indiana recognize this as asign that the Harvest Home-coming Festival is just aroundthe corner.

Each year the Harvest Home-coming president is tasked withcoming up with a theme for thefestival. There have been manygreat themes over the past 46years but one theme has been absentand well overdue.

I am proud to announce the theme forthe 2014 Harvest Homecoming Festi-val: “Harvest of Honor.”

This year’s theme is meant to paytribute to our Armed Forces and FirstResponders. For those who serve orhave served and given their life to pro-tect our freedom.

In choosing this themefor our festival it is ourway of giving honor andthanks to those who are sooften overlooked.

So as you attend theHarvest Homecoming thisyear please take a momentto say “Thank You” to

those in uniform who are there to pro-tect us from harm. Lastly, please keepour deployed Armed Forces in yourthoughts as they are not able to enjoythis Harvest with their families as weare.

Jackson wins Homecoming crownBY CHRIS MORRIS

[email protected]

NEW ALBANY — Morgan Jackson will be mak-ing a return trip to the Miss Indiana Pageant nextyear after winning the Miss Harvest Homecomingcrown in August.

Jackson was a second runner-up this year at state,and hopes to carry the momentum of winning theHarvest crown to a possible Miss Indiana title in2015.

But first things first. She must reign over the 2014Harvest Homecoming event which she is reallylooking forward to.

“I love the festival. It’s great,” said Jackson, 20, ajunior and communications major at the Universityof Louisville. “For me the Harvest Homecomingfestival is part of my life. I have so many appear-ances lined up during the festival, but I love to meetpeople. There is so much history behind it and thecommunity really gets involved. The people workso hard to make it a family-friendly event.”

Jackson, whose platform is Project Educate, is adancer. The Charlestown resident qualified for theMiss Indiana pageant last year through the MissMetropolitan pageant. She said she was confident at

this year’s Harvest queen pageant, but not over-con-fident.

“I was prepared, but you never know,” she said. She also said she takes being a role model to little

girls very seriously. “You don’t have to wear a crown on your head to

be a role model,” she said.This year’s pageant was held at Floyd Central and

Jackson said as in past years, it was a quality event.“It is absolutely one of the best scholarship pag-

eants,” she said. “The people behind the pageant helpmake it what it is. The festival can not happen with-out the people.”

While Jackson can’t wait to represent the festival,she does have a few tough decisions to make — likewhich food to eat during booth days.

“I love all the food ... funnel cakes, corn on thecob,” she said. “It’s a tough choice.”

Morgan Jackson, 20, Charlestown, won the 2014 MissHarvest Homecoming pageant in August at FloydCentral High School. She is a junior at the University ofLouisville.

Harvest president credits volunteers for making festival goBY CHRIS MORRIS

[email protected]

NEW ALBANY — For the past fewyears Jeff Cummins and a few of his bud-dies meet the Wednesday before HarvestHomecoming booth days to go over festi-val logistics. But it turns out to be muchmore than that. For Cummins, it’s the startof a five-day race that ends late Sunday af-ternoon.

“That is when it hits you,” he said.This year Cummins, 46, is president of

that race known as the Harvest Homecom-ing Festival. He has been a volunteer formore than a decade and for the next twoyears, he will be the face of one of Indi-ana’s biggest festivals. He said after almosta year of planning, everything is coming to-gether for the 47th annual event.

“I see myself in a leadership role; I kindof fill in the gaps,” he said. “They [festivaldirectors, volunteers] all know what needsto be done. Once the festival gets going Iam more of a figure head role. I am moreof a behind the scenes guy, but I am not

afraid to be out front.”The festival officially kicked off at the

Harvest Homecoming Scholarship Pageantwhere Cummins unveiled this year’stheme, “Harvest of Honor,” and pin design.He said he wanted to honor all those menin women who wear the uniform and allfirst-responders.

“We have never really done anything likethat before,” he said.

All the favorite events return this year.The parade will be Oct. 4 and booth dayswill run from Oct. 9-12. Cummins said heexpects the 2014 version of the festival tobe better than ever, he just hopes MotherNature cooperates with great weather likelast year.

“Last year was just one of those yearswhere everything clicked,” he said. “Theweather was great, unlike the year beforewhen we had to close on Sunday becauseof the severe weather threat. At the end ofthe day there is nothing you can do butcross your fingers. Last year there was adeluge of rain during the parade and whenwe turned down Spring from Vincennes

there were lots of people who were out, lin-ing the street, drenched like we were. Theywere out there because it was the parade.”

New to the festival this year will be thepumpkin chucking contest and Purdue isnow a platinum sponsor of the festival.

Cummins said two areas he wants to im-prove on as president is the relationshipwith some of the downtown merchantswho have voiced concerns about howbooth days hurt their businesses. He alsowants to recruit more volunteers, and try toget more youth involved in the festival.

“I want to try and get downtown mer-chants to understand what the festival is allabout. It’s not just four days of booths, it’sabout allowing non-profits and churches toset up booths and for many, make theirbudgets for the year,” he said. “It’s aboutthe college scholarships, all the free kidsevents. Some don’t understand but manydo. The Harvest Homecoming Festival isnot just booths, it’s about giving back andgiving New Albany the opportunity toshow off a little. If they [visitors] don’t visita business during the festival, there is a

good chance they will come back.”Cummins said there are probably collec-

tively 750 volunteers who help out in somearea of the festival. Some, obviously, aremore involved than others.

“None of us get paid. We do it becausewe are passionate about doing it,” he said.“Our volunteers do a tremendous job. Wehave a lot of families involved and what weare trying to do is get more people in-volved. That was one of my jobs, volun-teerism. There was a time when we hadmore people going out because of age orthey had done it for years than we hadcoming in.”

Cummins said the festival is healthy andis more popular than ever. He said there is awaiting list for booths and people still “re-ally look forward” to the festival each year.He said all systems are go.

“ There always seems to be certain thingsthat go down to the end, but it alwaysseems to come together,” he said. “ You areexcited, but you always wonder is theresomething I missed.”

JEFFERSONVILLE — A recklesshomicide verdict delivered Mondayin a Clark County murder trial has leftthe victim’s mother with bittersweetfeelings.Jeremy Swank, 35, was on trialfor the December 2013 death of his20-year-old nephew, Michael Met-calf, in a Jeffersonville home theyshared on Cherry Street.“We are glad we got a conviction,but it wasn’t the one we were hop-

ing for,” saidMelissa Miller, 41,Louisville, who isSwank’s half-sis-ter.

Miller said herson was her “sun-shine” and “a goodkid who stoodstrong on his faithand was alwayswilling to help oth-ers.”

Swank’s family cried tears of joy

and relief, as the jury could have re-turned a murder conviction, whichcarries a penalty range from 45 to65 years in prison.Swank has been in the ClarkCounty jail since the day after theshooting on Dec. 7. As inmates in Indiana are permit-ted to receive two days’ credit foreach day served incarcerated, he isexpected to begin his term in theDOC with nearly 18 months’ credittoward the sentence.
