Single Motherhood Doesn’t Seem to Hinder Happiness
Raising a child more likely to brighten these women’s lives, study says
Single mothers face many challenges but they tend to be happy, a new study suggests.
Researchers looked at women in Poland who gave birth while single. These women had to deal with numerous difficulties, including money problems, lack of partner support and social disapproval.
Even so, having a child did not lead to a decline in single women’s happiness, according to the study published online recently in the Journal of Happiness Studies.
“An arrival of a child either had no impact or even increases the happiness of the single mothers,” study co-author Anna Baranowska-Rataj, of Umea University in Sweden, said in a university news release.
Challenges faced by single mothers might somehow strengthen the bonds with their children, the researchers suggested.
“Despite all of the difficulties and problems — or maybe because of them — the children are moved to the absolute center of the woman’s universe and they are the brightest aspect of their lives,” study co-author Monika Mynarska, of Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University in Poland, said in the news release.
“Moreover, children often give women the power to make decisions they had not been able to make before pregnancy,” she added.
For example, the researchers found that being responsible for a child’s care helped many single women escape unhappy or harmful relationships, and made them tread more carefully when starting a new relationship.
So, becoming a mother might help single women move their lives onto a “better track,” according to Mynarska.
“All in all, we found no evidence to support the assumption that the lives of women who became single mothers would have turned out better if they had not given birth and had not decided to raise on their own,” study co-author Anna Matysiak, of the Wittgenstein Centre in Austria, said in the news release.

Men’s Golf Ready for MVC Championship
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Sporting a pair of spring team victories as well as three of the top ten golfers in the Missouri Valley Conference, the University of Evansville men’s golf team takes a great deal of confidence into the MVC Championship, which is slated for Monday and Tuesday.
TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Ill. will play host to the event with 36 holes set for Monday and the final 18 slated for Tuesday morning. The course, which is located in Silvis, Ill., is home to the yearly PGA John Deer Classic. It is also rated as one of the 100 greatest public courses in the United States as well as one of the top five in Illinois.
Earlier in the week, the Purple Aces were picked to finish third in the event. That was the highest UE had been voted in the pre-tournament poll. The Aces began the spring with a victory at the Don Benbow Intercollegiate before taking a win earlier this month at the Bradley Invitational.
The Aces are the only MVC team to have three golfers rank in the top ten in stroke average. Leading that group is sophomore Alex Turner. Turner ranks second in the conference with a 72.35 average. Over the course of the full season, turner posted three top 3 finishes with his highest finish coming at the Dayton Flyer Invitational where he tied for second place.
Quinn Vilneff sits in third place in the MVC with a 72.83 average. The defending winner of the Elite 18 award has finished in the top ten in five out of nine tournaments. His fourth place in the spring opener helped the Aces take the win at the Benbow Invitational. Vilneff posted a 6th place finish in last year’s conference championship en route to All-Conference honors.
Rounding out the conference top 10 is Parker Hensley. The senior from San Antonio has averaged 74.10 strokes per round in his final campaign at UE. Hensley has done an unbelievable job of improving from his junior campaign. Last season, he posted a 78.63 average and has lowered that by over four shots. Hensley tied for second place at the Butler Fall Invitational for his top senior finish thus far.
Wichita State received seven out of nine first place votes and was chosen as the favorite to win the tournament. Illinois State picked up the other two top votes with Evansville being picked in third.
Eagles shutout Pumas in opener, fall by one run in game two
Game 1 Game 2
Southern Indiana (22-21, 12-20 GLVC): 1 Southern Indiana: 2
at St. Joseph’s (15-27, 12-20 GLVC): 0 at St. Joseph’s: 3

RENSSELEAR, Ind. — After a 1-0 shutout over Saint Joseph’s College in Saturday’s doubleheader opener, the University of Southern Indiana softball team could not keep the momentum going into game two, falling 3-2.
The Screaming Eagles end Saturday at 12-20 in Great Lakes Valley Conference action, 22-21 overall, while the Pumas at 00-00 overall, 00-00 in GLVC play.
It was a battle between both teams in the day’s opener, with USI’s Alison Nord (Gentryville, Indiana) registering the game’s only RBI.
In the top of the second, with bases loaded, a sacrifice fly by Nord sent Green home for the 1-0 lead and eventual game-winning run.
Junior starting pitcher Brooke Harmening (Whiteland, Indiana) led USI in the circle, limiting the Pumas to just two hits. She earned the win, improving to 14-9 on the season.
Saint Joseph’s got out to an early 3-0 lead in game two off a three-run RBI-triple by Audra Rains in the bottom of the first. Following SJC’s scoring run in the opener, USI’s starting pitcher, sophomore Sarah Owens (Indianapolis, Indiana), was relieved by Harmening.
The Eagles remained scoreless until the top of the fourth, when Harmening sent the ball over the right field fence, cutting the Puma’s lead to 3-1.
USI got another run on the board off an RBI-fielder’s choice by freshman Grace Clark (Indianapolis, Indiana) that sent junior MacKenzi Dorsam (Dubois, Indiana) home from second base. It would be the Eagles’ last of the game, though, as St. Joseph’s walked away with the 3-2 win.
Despite leaving the circle after the first, Owens still recorded the loss, falling to 7-12 on the season.
The Eagles conclude regular-season GLVC play Sunday with another two against the Greyhounds of University of Indianapolis. First pitch is set for 11 a.m.
Commentary: Both sides of gun debate make valid arguments
John Krull, publisher, TheStatehouseFile.com
INDIANAPOLIS – Maybe there is common ground in the national debate over guns.
Commentary button in JPG – no shadowGuy Relford and Steve Dunlop are discussing guns, gun violence and gun rights.
Relford, an attorney who specializes in Second Amendment issues, and Dunlop, president of Hoosiers Concerned About Gun Violence, talk on the air during a live broadcast of the radio program I host.
The news hook for the show is the arrival of 70,000 gun devotees in Indianapolis for the National Rifle Association’s national convention. The NRA’s event advertising promises that it will celebrate guns and gear. The convention’s culmination will be a huge “Stand and Fight†rally in Lucas Oil Stadium that will feature appearances by Iran-Contra figure Oliver North and former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
Stand and fight?
Sounds pretty bellicose.
There are signs, though, that the NRA is softening some of its more combative stances.
For years, the NRA staked out a position that people alleged to have committed domestic abuse shouldn’t have to give up their firearms when they’re served with protective orders. The NRA said the alleged abusers should only have to give up their guns after a conviction.
In several states, though, the NRA has done an about-face. Their lobbyists have accepted changes in state laws that make the protective order the trigger for surrendering firearms.
Critics say the NRA has done so as part of an attempt to reach out to women as potential members.
Maybe, but it’s also possible NRA members realize the change is one that makes sense and will prevent senseless tragedy.
Inside the studio, for much of the conversation, Relford and Dunlop politely re-enact the typical debate between gun rights and gun control advocates. Both present numbers that support their positions. Both dismiss, again politely, statistics that undercut their positions as “discredited.â€
But, then, toward the end of the discussion, things get more interesting.
A listener sends an email saying that gun control advocates seem to focus much of their effort on restricting gun use and ownership rather than promoting safe and responsible gun ownership and use. The listener says the most effective gun safety courses are the ones the NRA runs.
Dunlop, to a degree, agrees. He says more gun education and training would be a good idea. In fact, he argues, that many of the responsible gun ownership practices the NRA endorses ought to be written into law.
In quick succession, a listener named Tim sends an email Relford’s way. Relford had talked about the fear many NRA members have about registering their guns as a prelude to taking them away. Tim’s email reads:
“I’d just like to point out that there is a difference between laws that actually violate Second Amendment rights and laws that raise the fear of that possibility in the future. A law that requires a national registry is not the same as a law that infringes on gun ownership.â€
Relford nods his head and grants that, maybe, this is a case of gun advocates being too alarmist.
I ask Relford a question about the often absolutist reading of the Second Amendment. I say that people have a First Amendment right to express themselves by texting, but we don’t see laws preventing them from texting while they’re driving as infringements of their constitutional rights. We argue that, while they’re in the public sphere, the public’s interest has to be taken into consideration.
Relford nods his head and says that should be the standard – acknowledging the individual’s right to bear arms while realizing that the public also has an interest in providing reasonable assurances of safety.
Once we’re off the air, I tell Relford that, for millions of us, the issue is not one of wanting to take guns away from law-abiding citizens but of getting some acknowledgement that the public’s interest matters, too.
Relford says that’s a fair point.
And he adds that what irritates many NRA members and gun advocates is that they’re lumped in with criminals who behave in a way that defies and violates the NRA’s very principles of safety and responsibility. Gun owners resent, he says, the implied argument that they bear moral responsibility for actions they despise.
That, too, is a fair point – one that suggests that, rather than holding rallies to “stand and fight,†we all would be better served to issue invitations to sit down and talk.

IS IT TRUE WEEKEND-Cell Phone Censorship Follows Marsha Abell’s “Old People And Hi Tech Computer People” Remarks
UPDATE: April 26, 2014
IS IT TRUE the Vanderburgh County GOP Women club recently sponsored a Soup Dinner?…that we are stunned to hear that it was announced to those in attendence that all cell phones should be turned off when the candidates start speaking so no one can record any audio or videos of the speeches?…this request goes against the grain of true Republicans values of forcing censorship on the masses? …we were told by at least 7 people attending this event that they were extremely insulted by this request? …that our “GOP Moles” told us that this new censorship rule was imposed by the club leadership because someone recorded the speech made by Marsha Abell to that group earlier this the month and was forward the speech to the CCO?
EDITOR FOOTNOTE:
Recently the City County Observer played the audio recording of County Commissioner Marsha Abell giving her opinions on the local economy at a recent GOP gathering. Among things expressed by Abell are opinions that “old people don’t pay enough taxes and Evansville can’t survive just with retired people living here”, and that “Hi Tech Computer People don’t produce one dime”.
Marsha even opines that this is the opinion of Mayor Winnecke.
Here is the link to the recording of Commissioner Abell stating that high tech computer people and seniors are net takers.
