Milan
woman makes it real

Staff Writer
Part theatre makeup artist and part mad scientist,
Birgit Hawkins of Milan, uses skills learned
several years ago in her native Germany to create
realistic looking accident victims used during
training sessions for various agencies in the
area.
Hawkins studied cosmetology in Germany for six
years learning everything possible in the theatre
makeup trade. Because her husband was in the
military, Hawkins and her family moved often
making it difficult to find employment using
her talents.

Child
abuse is a real problem
|
Karen
Reynolds
Contributing Writer
While people might like to think sexual
child abuse is not happening in our community,
according to a recent local survey, that
is not the case.
The Ripley County Prevent Child Abuse group
took an opinion survey at the Ripley County
4-H Fair, where 15 out of 58 people said
child abuse is not a problem in the community.
However, when asked if anyone in their family
had been affected by child abuse, child
sexual abuse or neglect, 26 out of those
same 58 people said, “yes”.
The reality of child abuse in whatever form
is something people like Frank and Paula
Goodpaster are trying to make people aware
of and better yet, teach how it can be prevented.
