Local Author/Illustrator Strives To Turn Loss Into Love, Conflict Into Conversation

Local author Todd Schimmell has a wealth of life experience that he pulls from as he creates hilarious, yet heartwarming poetry and illustrations for the entire family. Todd serves as a School Resource Officer (SRO) for the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office and in Todd’s latest book, you see his wisdom shine through more strongly than ever.  Smile and Soul introduce new characters that are relatable – and just plain fun for the reader to engage with. Todd’s take on self-esteem, doubt, mistakes, humor, conflict resolution, and other socio-emotional topics challenges us to flex our emotional intelligence muscles and think outside the box. From farts to faith, Todd’s work takes the reader on a ride.

One Amazon review says, “I’m a huge fan of Shel Silverstein and this took me way back to reading his books in the library as a kid! I’m almost 30 and these stories had me giggling like a little girl. Everyone can find something to enjoy in this collection! The illustrations add so much to the atmosphere of the collection as well. Not to mention it touches on the important topic of mental health. This collection helps to show children, and grownups, that smiling never gets old. Definitely an experience that should be had by children and adults alike.”

Alongside his wife and biggest fan Kirsten, they own Compassio Veraque LLC, a publishing company through which his work comes to paper and into the hands of readers all over. They have happily married parents of 5 beautiful children and one fur pup. Todd draws inspiration from his family and their unwavering support. Despite all their blessings, Todd and his family have struggled with periods of major loss and extreme grief in their lives. October is National Perinatal Loss and Bereavement Month. Recently, Todd had the honor of sharing the story of his late son Theo, who passed away in 2017 shortly after birth, on Deaconess Women’s Hospital Podcast.  Todd writes on his Facebook page to commemorate the special month – “Out of all the stories I’ve written or will write; Theo’s story will always be my favorite! It doesn’t matter how long you have been with someone. A moment can change everything. Be ready for that moment.’ 

Public service and ‘family-first values have always been prevalent in Todd’s life. Todd followed closely in his father’s footsteps. While serving as a firefighter, Todd’s dad also grew to be known as a talented writer and artist who illustrated a children’s series at the end of his career. Unfortunately, his father was forced into early retirement due to his ongoing fight with Parkinson’s Disease. The book ‘Smile and Soul’ were dedicated to Todd’s father as he continues his fight.

POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE

GAVEL GAMUT By Jim Redwine

There is no memorial on the Posey County, Indiana courthouse lawn to the seven Negroes murdered by a white mob on October 12, 1878. There is a modest stele naming those soldiers with Posey County connections who served in the Revolutionary War and an impressive statue honoring all who served in the Civil War. There are bronze plaques on the lobby walls of the Posey County Coliseum commemorating many of those who served. The Coliseum houses one of Posey County’s two courts and the other court is located in the courthouse.

Because I was the elected Posey Circuit Court Judge and because our son, James David Redwine, was a West Point graduate who would later earn a Bronze Star for Service on the front lines of both the Gulf War 1990-1991 and the Iraq War of 2003-2011 I was asked to speak at both the War Memorial Re-Dedication on Sunday, October 21, 1990 and Re-Dedication of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument on July 23, 2008. I was honored to do so and wrote the following poems for the occasions. The poems appeared in several newspapers after each commemoration:

WAR MEMORIAL RE-DEDICATION

(Sunday, October 21, 1990)

Sunday morning chimes

How dear it is to be alive:

To hear the peal of morning chimes;

To feel the invigorating sting of this autumn day;

To taste the rich and biting air;

To smell the acrid smoke of burning leaves;

To see the glory of Nature’s third act.

How satisfying to still be a player:

To know a child’s trust;

A family’s support;

A friend’s companionship; or

A lover’s caress.

How thrilling it is to learn,

To plan,

To strive,

To serve,

To live!

These wondrous things:  These sensations;

These desires;

These dreams;

These visions.  This life,

Is what these heroes have sacrificed for us.

RE-DEDICATION OF THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS MONUMENT

(Wednesday, July 23, 2008)

WELL DONE!

At Lexington and Concord, the young blood began to flow.

At the Battle of New Orleans, muskets killed our cousins and our foes.

At the Alamo and Buena Vista, we stood to the last man.

At Shiloh, Chickamauga and Gettysburg, brothers’ blood soaked the sand.

At San Juan Hill and when the Maine went down, our soldiers never flinched.

At Verdun and by the Marne, a million men died in the trench. 

At D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge, after Hiroshima’s mushroom clouds,

At Incheon Landing the forgotten war brought many more funeral shrouds.

At Khe Sanh and during Tet, we held our own and more.

At the Battle of Medina Ridge, our Gulf War warriors upheld the Corps.

At Sinjar, Mosul, and places with strange names,

Our Iraqi War veterans now earn their fame.

In uniforms, our citizens have served well everyone.

Today, we here proclaim to them our solemn praise:  Well done!

It is fitting and proper that we honor those who serve and that we are permanently reminded of the horrors of war. Society needs to be constantly on guard and eternally grateful. Of course, the reasons that call for memorials about wars are much the same as why we need memorials to our collective evil done to some citizens by other citizens.

Since I first discovered, by accident, in 1990 the legal system’s long covered up murders of Daniel Harrison, Sr., Daniel Harrison, Jr., John Harrison, James Good, Ed Warner, William Chambers and Jeff Hopkins by, as the Mt. Vernon, Indiana Western Star Newspaper said on October 17, 1878, “two to three hundred of the county’s best white citizens” right on the Posey County, Indiana courthouse campus, I have called for accountability and a memorial to the victims. Society owes this atonement to the victims and we as a society need it for ourselves.
