By Lois Mittino Gray The path to improved Internet service in Posey County was paved a little smoother after the second reading of the Infrastructure Development Zone ordinance at the April 2, meeting of the Posey County Commissioners at the Hovey House. Commission President Carl Schmitz opened a public hearing on the ordinance, numbered 2019-02-19-03, and with no remonstrators or comments, closed the hearing quickly and called the vote, which passed unanimously.

The ordinance was passed after first reading at the February 19, commission meeting, but had to be legally advertised in the newspaper with a public hearing held at this meeting. This ordinance designates the unincorporated areas of Posey County as an Infrastructure Development Zone.

County Attorney Joe Harrison explained this ordinance would enable businesses that install broadband facilities to have a five-year personal property abatement if providing expanded or new Internet services. Harrison explained the entire unincorporated area would be considered the development zone and service should be able to come to outlying homes.

APRIL 9, 2019 James Coleman Jr. James J. Coleman, Jr. “Jimmy” the son of Dorothy Jurisich Coleman “Gigi” and James J. Coleman, Sr. “J.J.”, was born on May 7, 1941 and passed away on March 21, 2019 at home in New Orleans. He is survived by his beloved wife, Mary “Minnie”, his devoted son, Jamie (Monique), his darling granddaughter Jane Owen, and his life-long best friends, his siblings: Thomas Coleman (Dathel), Peter Coleman (Jean), and Dian Coleman Winingder (Thomas).

Jimmy, possessing a keen eye for every detail, was an avid collector of ideas, of experiences, and of friends. He began the collection of ideas during his formative education at Metairie Park Country Day School. It was also at this time that he joined the First Church of Christ Science, New Orleans, where he was a life-long member. Excellence, a hallmark of his life, Jimmy received a B.A. from Princeton University, and a Postgraduate in Law at the University College at Oxford University. After his time in England, Jimmy returned to New Orleans to complete his Juris Doctorate at the Tulane University School of Law. Jimmy’s collection of professional experiences was as rich and varied as his collection of ideas. Upon graduation from Tulane in 1968, Jimmy joined his father at the family law firm, now called Coleman, Johnson, Artigues & Brown. He worked with his father, J.J., almost every day for over 40 years.

It was that love of family that drove most of his professional projects, including his early career as a real estate developer in the late 1960s.

A visionary with deep-seeded belief in the future of downtown New Orleans, Jimmy’s first project was the Holiday Inn Downtown-Superdome (originally known as the Howard Johnson Hotel). He went on to develop other properties with business partners: the Hilton New Orleans Riverside Hotel, and three Poydras Street office buildings, and the Windsor Court Hotel. The Windsor Court opened in 1984 to accolades, and was widely considered one of the best hotels in the world.

In 1975, the British government named Jimmy as its honorary consul in New Orleans. It was a duty that he performed with honor for 44 years. He was the longest serving British honorary consul worldwide, and for his dedication, Queen Elizabeth II made him one of few Americans appointed as both a member of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1986 and Commander of the British Empire (CBE) in 2015. Jimmy enjoyed his work helping British citizens of every kind, from the sailors he greeted at the port, to a warm relationship with Princess Margaret who loved New Orleans Jazz, and to Prince Charles, with whom Jimmy toured the region in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Jimmy also served his family with his work as Chairman of the Board of Directors of International Matex Tank Terminals, along with his brother Tommy, who was the President and CEO. He found particular fulfillment in his work for IMTT at their Bayonne New Jersey facility where he parlayed his strong interpersonal skills and precise comprehension of the local political climate to the advantage of both the business and the local community.

A gentleman of great generosity, Jimmy Coleman saw the collection of philanthrop-

ic experiences as central to a life well-lived. Steeped in a love of the arts by his artistmother, Gigi, Jimmy began to formally patronize art institutions at a young age. In 1968, he joined the Museum of Modern Art’s International Council which promoted the International Program of Circulating Exhibitions which aimed to send exhibitions around the world.

At home, he was a benefactor of the New Orleans Academy of Fine Art, and the New Orleans Museum of Art. Newport Rhode Island was a second home to Jimmy and his wife, Minnie, so it was no surprise that they continued their shared passion for art education there as well. In 1998, the Newport Art Museum named its art school the Minnie and Jimmy Coleman Center for Creative Studies.

Not only bolstering British causes, Jimmy was a robust advocate for our United States armed forces and local police force. He worked to create the National Coast Guard Museum in New London, Ct., which is still in the funding stage. For efforts spanning 30 years, he was awarded the National U.S. Coast Guard Spirit of Hope Award, the National Maritime Historical Society Distinguished Service Award, and the Alexander Hamilton Award from the National Coast Guard Museum Association.

In addition, Jimmy founded Hermes — Beyond the Parade, a foundation that provided aid to our city’s first responders. Jimmy and Minnie also worked with Jimmy’s siblings to support New Orleans schools. In 2016, the family sponsored the new Coleman Dining Hall at Country Day. At the Tulane law school, they established the James J. Coleman Sr. Visiting Professorship in Law, which enables the school to invite distinguished legal scholars from around the world to teach advanced short courses.

Jimmy put the same indefatigable energy he displayed in his pursuit of educational, professional, and philanthropic accomplishments into his collection of friends. He was charming, dashing, and impeccably dressed, with limitless curiosity, and a knack for telling a good story; so, he was popular everywhere he went. He was a member of almost 20 social clubs, and joined the boards of many. He particularly cherished his role in the Hermes Mardi Gras organization.

Jimmy’s passion for people extended to animal friends as well. Throughout his life, he showed care for dogs, horses, birds, and more. Most importantly, Jimmy found two wonderful loves in the course of his amazing life. His first wife, Carol Owen Coleman, passed away in 1979, but gave her family all the love they could ever need.

Jimmy re-married in 1985 with his dearest Minnie. She shared his life’s journey, and infused his days with romance and laughter.

Services were held at Lake Lawn Metairie Cemetery at 3 p.m. on April 5. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts.

nieces and nephews also survive.

Funeral services were held April 3, 2019 at Whitfield Funeral Home in Zephyrhills, Fla. Burial was in Oakside cemetery

t h i s is the season when the image of my grandparents becomes even more vivid than usual. Grandma Stella had a little blue sweater that she must have worn for years, because that is always in my memories. They spent the winters planning the garden for when warm weather returned. They were not much younger than I am now, and now that I am older, I am endlessly amazed at their energy and work ethic. I seriously do not know how they did it all.

For one thing, it is the time to de-bud peonies, and it was more work than one would imagine.

For those who are not familiar with this, all of the smaller buds must be pinched oďŹ&#x20AC;, in order to produce one large bloom. I helped with this and can remember it was tiring. In all we probably had about a hundred plants. As soon as the larger bud appeared, the stem was cut on a slant and gathered into groups of six, held together with rubber bands. They went into crates and were stored in Cynthianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Locker Plant until Memorial Day. I probably would not believe how cheaply they were priced later, but it was a long time ago.

young people can rarely realize how it is to deal with the aging process. I wish I could run and give them a hug and tell them how I now understand how hard life must have often been.

They were devoted to each other so totally that this lifelong love must have made all the diďŹ&#x192;cult parts of life seem tolerable. In each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes, they were forever young. After her Herbert passed away in February of 1964, his little Stella was never the same.

The once perfect garden lay empty that year. Until my mother allowed a poor family to plant there, it was gone. I am sure that grandpaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spirit eternally remains on that land.

My mother found toddler Todd earnestly speaking to someone in the back yard in 1969. He told her he was talking to grandpa. I have never doubted this.

With my current foot and leg issues, I have many stockings and supportive shoes to choose from. Stella always wore those old-fashioned lace up shoes, like most little old ladies of the time. I now wonder how she did all her work in those. She was a tiny little woman with slender legs, which I am sure helped.

Maybe it was because of those good people who raised me that I have such a hard time accepting 21st century human beings. Happy Spring to Herbert and Stella. I hope you are still side by side in a garden someplace.

Note: The Victory Loan Drive spoken of in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s article (the war is over) is to help pay down the war debt.

- Other news, a baby U. S. Army tank is coming. - Posey famers get plowing demonstrations, and Pvt. Hargrove is coming home.

Dates Fixed For Flying Circuses And V. Loan Meeting April 14 - American, French, and British Aces will give thrilling demonstrations in Aeroplanes in connection with the Victory Liberty Loan Campaign. Southern Indiana leaders in the Victory Loan Campaign expect a large attendance and an enthusiastic meeting at Evansville, Monday, April 14. Chairman Sonntag will preside. At the Evansville gathering, every county in the southern part of the state will be represented.

Real Tank Will Be Seen Here - A real battle-tank, made by Uncle Sam, will be seen in Mount Vernon on Friday, April 18. This tank will be one of the features of the Victory Loan special train that will visit this city on the date mentioned. It weighs more than seven-tons, is armored, and is about 15 feet long and 10 feet high. It will be carried on a special ďŹ&#x201A;at car, and under its own power will parade the streets of the city. The special train will arrive at 7 a.m., and leave at 6 a.m., the following day. The tank will be manned by soldiers who have seen actual service overseas.

Local Dealers Give Demonstration - A sight seldom seen in this county or other counties was witnessed Friday on the farm of George Hanshoe one mile west of this city when four farm tractor agents of Mount Vernon demonstrated their machines.

around 1816 and migrated to Posey County, Indiana.

Most Gwaltneys who live in southern Illinois and Indiana are descendants of this John Gwaltney. Dr. Koonce, a college administrator and Gwaltney Family historian, has made several trips to Wales and he will give an update about the Gwalchmai Welsh families.

Many Gwaltney families have been unable to attend the national Gwaltney Homecoming held each July in SmithďŹ eld, Virginia, so this April 27 event will be an opportunity to meet Dr. JeďŹ&#x20AC; Koonce and learn about the history of the Gwaltneys in USA. Thomas Gwaltney

(Gwalchmai) came to Jamestown, Virginia from Wales in 1635 and later established himself across the James River in Surry County, Virginia. Gwaltney is the anglicized version of Gwalchmai (pronounced Gwalkmy) which means â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hawk of the ďŹ eld.â&#x20AC;? Gwalchmai was the name of a small village in Wales. In the USA today the Gwaltney family name includes several spellings: Gaultney, Gwatney, Galtney, Gortney, Gwartney, and Gwaltney.

Most Gwaltney families in southern Illinois and Indiana are descendants of John and Annaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three sons Thomas, Harris, and Amariah.

National and Local News 100 Years Ago News From The Western Star, April 9, 1919 - Mount Vernon

The ground selected in which to make the test was in front of the Hanshoe residence and had been planted in alfalfa for several years. Farmers agreed that ground in alfalfa is the hardest to plow, but this made no diďŹ&#x20AC;erence to the tractors, as they went right through it, making a good job of it and doing the work in less time perhaps than ten or twelve teams could have done. Next - plowing last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corn ďŹ eld was play for the big machines.

They went right through over corn stalks and all other obstacles. Up one side and down the other, around the corners they went. The demonstration was a big success and was suďŹ&#x192;cient evidence to those farmers present that the coming implement on the farm is the tractor. The H. H. Brinkman Co. demonstrated the Moline. Charles Krele & Sons demonstrated the Titan.

The Keck-Gonnerman Co. demonstrated one of their own manufacture (in MountVernon) and the Fordson.

Posey County 4-H Talent Show coming soon

8th annual azalea sale set

The Azalea Trail Committee of Mount Vernon will be holding their 8th annual azalea sale on Saturday, 4/27, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Riverbend Park in Mount Vernon.

Three-gallon Encore and Regular Azaleas along with other assorted plants will be offered. The group invites the public to jooin them for cookies and coffee and start your spring gardening on Saturday, April 27, at Riverbend Park.

The Azalea Trail Committee was formed in 2010 with a mission to beautify the city, raise community health awareness through exercise, promote tourism and make historic Mount Vernon a more desirable place to live. In 2015 Mount Vernon achieved the prestigious status of being recognized nationally as a certified “Azalea City.”

Over 1400 azaleas have been either sold or planted at the riverfront as a result of the annual azalea sale. A portion of the proceeds are used for the upkeep of city plantings. Other endeavors are beautification of our city. In addition, over 1,000 daffodils have been planted at the Riverbend Memo-

rial Park. A creation of an azalea garden at Riverbend features over 75 azaleas and other native plants that surround the azalea planting area helping with erosion control.

The Azalea Committee also originated the idea of the LED informational sign at Riverbend and were the major drivers of this project. This sign was made possible by grants from the Posey Community Foundation, the Posey County Women’s Fund, and donations from the City of Mount Vernon, the Friends of the Park and the Mount Vernon Azalea Trail Committee. Spring 2017, the Azalea Trail Committee along with the Mount Garden Club purchased and placed a bronze statue of a little boy with a telescope overlooking the Ohio River in Riverbend Park.

The Azalea Trail Committee of just nine members is excited about making Mount Vernon a more desirable place to live, play and enjoy the beauty of our city. Monies received from our Azalea Sales and future donations will allow us to continue our vision.

Hoosier Art Salon presents â&#x20AC;&#x153;Close Encounterâ&#x20AC;?

The Hoosier Art Salon on 507 Church in New Harmony, Indiana presents â&#x20AC;&#x153;Close Encounter,â&#x20AC;? an art exhibition featuring the artwork of Charlene M. Brown, Susie Byerley and Kate Orr. The work of these three representational artists showcases a variety of styles, media, and subject matter, but with a common thread: Each piece represents a close encounter with the subject, a visual record of the time spent and thought applied to interpret the unique beauty inherent in a person, place, or object. This process requires more than a passing appreciation, but rather a patient and focused study. Sometimes beauty is obvious, other times not so obvious; but always it takes equal parts inspiration and eďŹ&#x20AC;ort to eďŹ&#x20AC;ectively translate what the artist sees into the language of pigment on a ďŹ&#x201A;at surface. The artwork of these three ladies will be on display until April 21 with a reception on April 6, 2019 from 4-7 p.m., please come meet the artists and enjoy refreshments provided by the members of Tri Kappa. Susie Byerley will be doing an artistic demonstration that afternoon in the gallery from 1-3 p.m. This is in conjunction with the town wide events Harmony Spring Market and the Art and Antique Stroll happening on April 6, 2019.

Sermon of the Week: Four Challenges to Fraternals Pastor Matt Watson, Fraternals face friction.

There can be no doubt. Depth happens in relationships.

Unfortunately, so does pain.

Recently, at a gathering of Christian men, this question was posed: What are the challenges you face in developing close fraternal relationships with men you can trust? All agreed on the importance of 1, 2, or 10 of these close relationships. All agreed there are challenges to securing and sustaining such relationships.

So our menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gathering turned into a think tank for a morning. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleased to report our ďŹ ndings in hopes that you will overcome these four challenges to close brotherly relationships.

Challenge #1 Being Truthful. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not so much that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re liars, but rather, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hiders.

As men, we want to appear like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got it together.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our imageâ&#x20AC;? is everything.

We worry, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What will he think if he ďŹ nds out Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not the man he thought I was?â&#x20AC;? So we are elusive, insular. It makes sense but this life approach is ineffective. We take the easy way out by avoiding the pain but we also avoid the prospect of closer relationships, and of profound growth. Meaningful connection requires a measure of transparency. Solution? Our group reminded each other of this bulletin: This just in! Sinners still sin! We are all sinners and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helpful to say so.

Be truthful.

Challenge #2 Finding Time.

There never seems to be extra time. There are too many tasks at the end of the time. Finding time to be together with like-minded Christian men is a hurdle unto itself. Praise be to God for the lay men in any church who organize the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gatherings, retreats,

Enjoy great, no-fuss food and service with friends, family and neighbors who love to savor the good times with you.

breakfasts, or any time together. But what good is an organizer without equally devoted participants? We decided to view menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gathering more like preciously ďŹ&#x201A;eeting opportunities similar to a graduation ceremony (where if you miss it, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no redo) rather than viewing menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gatherings like a ball game (where if you miss it, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another one tomorrow). We prioritize our time to ďŹ t the things we think are important: family, church, friendsâ&#x20AC;Ś So we will prioritize close relationships as we discover their importance. Time is limited. Solution? Make time.

Challenge #3 Choosing Wisely. A brother commented that we can entrust ourselves to the wrong men. Proverbs 13:20 states that the companions of fools will suďŹ&#x20AC;er while he who walks with the wise will be wise. One brother literally makes time to go for a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;walkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with a wise man every month. Just as an introvert

may struggle to express himself, an extrovert may over express to the wrong men. Pick your brothers wisely. Walk with the wise. To quote a biblical metaphor, choose not cast your truthful pearls before proverbial swine. Take care to prayerfully discern who is a worthy friend. Then be that worthy friend, too. How do I identify worthy friends? Run the choice through this questionnaire: Do we agree doctrinally? Are values shared?

Are we rowing our lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boats in the same direction? Coworkers are a good place to start looking for friends but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t confuse the need to earn an income with shared beliefs.

Churches, typically, not work, are places people voluntarily unite around shared belief.

At work, people mandatorily unite around earned income.

Solution? You need to have levels of transparencyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;levels that determine what you share with whom. And even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had ďŹ ts and starts in

NORTH POSEY

friendship (who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t?), invest in one once again. Learn wisdom. Choose wisely.

Challenge #4 Bumpy Roads. Just because you have a misunderstanding with someone youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve chosen to pursue a fraternal with does not mean you should give up on that relationship altogether.

As far as the curse is found, men oďŹ&#x20AC;end other men. When faced with oďŹ&#x20AC;ense, men tend to just withdraw rather than talk issues through. Also, you may harm the relationship by expecting too much growth too fast, and vice versa. Be in the relationship for the sake of the relationshipâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not just for perceived beneďŹ ts (though there are many!). Jesus Christ chose to relate with you for no initial beneďŹ t unto Himselfâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; other than he valued that relationship, with you, with yaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll, with His people, with the church. In Christ, you can like me for me, just plain ole â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;me.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Close relationships are forged not forced. Value them.

Invest in them. We sing a song with the lyric: my sins they are many, His mercy is more.

Our mercy can be more with one another. Mend a fraternal.

One parental sage said of her kids that there are few problems that a good stroll, snack, sleep or shower wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t solve.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true of adults too. Sometimes we need to pause from outrage long enough to stroll, snack, sleep, shower. Most our the time our haste makes waste in relationships. When frustrated with one another, when the relational road gets bumpy, instead of complaining about the highway crew needing to ďŹ x the pot holes, just slow down. Realize that roads are deteriorating from the moment they are laidâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; that this is the nature of the world in which we live. Out of the curse, God is bringing blessings, showers of blessings, and he does so via relationship. In fact, God so loves us and hates sin that he died to ďŹ x the hopelessly broken vertical relationship between you and Him. If He can model that for us then we can model Him for them. If friction will cause you to withdraw from meaningful communication, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll not forge a close relationship.

Solution? Give grace.

To the men who anonymously contributed to this article, you know who you are, thank you. Thank you for often being a better friend than I. Thank you for forging a fraternal by overcoming challenges like the four outlined in this article. You know what joy some of us are only beginning to experience in relationship truthfulness, time spent, wise choices, and bumpy blessings.

Going it alone pales in comparison to going together. Fraternals face friction. But depth happens here. You were meant for closer relationships. What challenges would you add to this list of four?

Innovative fundraiser could help South Terrace success

By Lois Mittino Gray Gone are the days of selling chocolates, cookie dough in tubs, and wrapping paper. The South Terrace Elementary PTO is taking a new healthier approach to student fundraising and they plan to “run with the idea” hosting the South Terrace Fun Run on April 11. If it’s successful someone may even get a pie in the face!

The parent support organization has set a goal of raising $15,000 to purchase new playground equipment for the school. The “new twist” to the plan is that all students have to “work in some sweat equity” for their new equipment, according to Amber Olander, PTO President. “So many times with other fundraisers, parents take the forms to work and the students don’t do anything but turn them in. We are taking a new healthy initiative to drop chocolate sales and get out there and encourage healthy activity to earn it,” Olander explained.

On Thursday, the entire student body will participate in the Fun Run as part of their school day. Students will run or walk

the regular course used in their PE program for thirty minutes.

Each grade will start at a different location and every time they run one lap and pass their starting point, they will receive a clear jelly wrist band to count laps. There will be door prizes, refreshments, and a medal and tee shirts for the lead finishers with the most laps, just like a regular 5K. The race will even include the kindergarteners and the developmentally-delayed preschool students. “They have their own course to run on, so they can participate, too, just like all the other kids. It’s a school event.” Olander noted.

Students collect money by securing pledges from friends and family to participate in the run. “We have about 367 students. We hope everyone can get a ten dollar pledge from someone. Let’s say each student gets around $40 in pledges. That would be about $14, 680. So close to our goal,” said the enthusiastic PTO president.

Olander has already promised that if $3,000 is raised by the group, she will allow students bringing in over $100 to throw Jared Schmidt, Chris Kaufman, and Sean Ritzert being inducted into the Honary Chapter Degree Recipients.

a pie in her face. If over $6,000 is collected, then she will be ‘slimed’ and she said she might even take some of the other teachers with her.

Students can earn prizes depending on how much they get in pledges. For every ten dollars they turn in, they get a prize coupon as there will be cash prize drawings. “The great thing about this fundraiser is, unlike Paragon sales and other companies that take a portion of the profit, the PTO gets a hundred percent of the monies collected, with the exception of small fees to use credit cards,” Olander explained.

The PTO has a portal allowing patrons to make donations online. It is located at southterracefunrun.walkstarter.org.

Pledges can be made and will be collected up until April 22 to give students the opportunity to persuade family members to contribute during the Easter holidays.

No plans have been designed yet for the playground, but Olander said the administration has been very supportive and will help give input.

To pledge and help out, you may contact a student, call the school office, visit the PTO Facebook page, or donate at the portal site with the big lime green ‘W.’

Mount Vernon on the hunt again for basketball coach

By Lois Mittino Gray While Mount Vernon school children were off celebrating Spring Break, the Mount Vernon School Board set next year’s school calendar so parents can plan vacations and time off requests well in advance. The board adopted the 2019-20 school year calendar “in stone” and tentatively adopted the 202122 school year calendar at its March 18, meeting.

MSD School Superintendent Tom Kopatich said the only new features on the annual schedule are the two professional development days for teachers slated for September 17 and January 15.

Students will attend school for a half day on these two dates.

Teachers will report for duty on August 7, and students will start the school year the next day on August 8. Fall Break is scheduled for October 11-14, Thanksgiving Break days off school will be November 27-28, Christmas Break runs from December 20-January 6 for students, and Spring Break will continue to be the last week in March.

The school year will end on May 21, with graduation taking place on May 22. There are four built in snow make up days on the schedule.

In personnel matters, the board confirmed the employment of Jeffrey Gibbs as an assistant high school girls’ softball coach, replacing Jason Bell, and receiving a quarter wage stipend. Lois Hickey was hired to work 2.5 hours a day in the high school cafeteria, replacing Michelle Hamrick. Amber Howard will work as a high school computer lab teacher assistant, replacing Misty Miles.

So she could take the new computer position, Howard’s resignation as a high school Special Education teacher assistant was accepted effective immediately. Resignations were also accepted from: Bobby Aldridge as the high school boys’ head basketball coach, Keely Burkhart as an elementary teacher at Marrs Elementary and Amy Ross from her West Elementary cafeteria job.

In additional personnel matters, seven staff members were approved for travel to meetings and conferences. Joe Stone will attend the North American Brass Band Association Clinic, Mary McCune will attend the UNITE Users Group, Rachel Wheaton will attend the Pareto Health Spring Paradigm Conference and Alicia Schmidt will attend a tour of the Animal Sciences facilities at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale.

All four are in April. Zachary Leiter will be taking an outof-state trip to San Diego to attend the Carbon Black Conference on June 3-6.

In other school board actions: • The board learned that students will be off April 22 due to the district’s Performance Qualified status. With that designation students will not have to make up a snow day, as they are waived to attend only 179 days this school year, instead of the requisite 180 days by Indiana law. Four groups of hourly, not salary, workers will be paid for the day they will miss that would have been included in a normal 2018-19 school calendar contract. The board authorized payment of the normal daily wages for

each applicable employee in the following groups: Food Service, School Bus Attendants, School Secretaries, and Teacher Assistants. Many of these employees will be viewing training videos as part of the made up day.

• entered into an agreement with the University of Southern Indiana for educational experiences for their School of Education students, as specified for a period of three years from the date the agreement is accepted, with one year renewal terms. “We love having the student teachers,” Dr. Kopatich remarked.

• adopted a resolution authorizing the use of the 2019 Operations Fund emergency allocations to replace the roofs over the kitchen and Rooms 137, 138, 139, and 140 at Hedges Central in an amount not to exceed 95,000.

Several roof leaks from age have cause damage to the interior on the northeast side of the cafeteria. The Preferred Roofing Company was hired to do the replacement.

• approved the usual test plot lease agreements with the Ports of Indiana, Cargill, Inc., and the Davis Trust. The Port leases five acres and Cargill four-and-one-half acres for FFA Test Plots. The rent is one dollar a month, but both firms waive the fees. The Davis Trust leases nine acres and receives 2/5 the proceeds from the sale of grain, less 2/5 cost of fertilizer, lime, seed, herbicides and pesticides, as rent.

• A list of administrators for the 2019-2020 school year was appointed including: Loren Evans, Director of Business, Technology, and Transportation; David Frye,

Valero Renewables is marking its 10-year anniversary at its ethanol operations across the Midwest. Valero Energy Corporation, through its Valero Renewable Fuels Company LLC subsidiary, became the first traditional petroleum refiner to enter large-scale ethanol production with the purchase of seven high-quality plants from VeraSun Energy Corp. in 2009.

Today, Valero Renewables operates 14 ethanol plants across eight states with total capacity of 1.73 billion gallons per year, making it one of the nation’s largest producers. “This marks a significant milestone for our company, as Valero Renewables not only has proven to be a good business, but also a major contributor to our local communities,” said Darrin Baron, Vice President-Plant Operations, for Valero Renewables. “Our plants are very well-run and efficient, and our employees have given generously of their time and resources to many worthy efforts.”

At Valero Renewables-Mount Vernon, the plant also is marking its fifth year of operation under Valero ownership. “Valero Renewables has grown into one of the leading producers of ethanol in the country,” said Chris Rhea, Plant Manager of Valero Renewables-Mount Vernon. “We have a tremendous workforce not only at the Mount Vernon plant but across our entire fleet. Our employees are what has made, and will continue to make, Valero Renewables a leader in safe, reliable and efficient production of renewable ethanol.”

• Valero has been able to transfer operational best practices of its refineries to its ethanol plants, which produce ethanol and distillers grains for both domestic and export markets,

accounting for more than 20 percent of total U.S. ethanol exports.

• Employees across all Valero Renewables locations pledged or raised a total of more than $429,000 for United Way in 2018, with a company match projected to bring total plant contributions to approximately $641,000.

• Participating plants each distributed $35,000 in proceeds from the Valero Texas Open and Benefit for Children to local children’s charities in 2018.

• Plant employees and their families across all locations logged approximately 22,000 hours for a variety of volunteer events in 2018, benefiting such efforts as Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys and Girls Club, and community food drives.

Spring Climate Outlook

By Hans Schmitz, Purdue Extension – Posey County Spring has sprung, in a rather timely fashion. Meteorological spring technically begins on the first of March, with astronomical spring following on March 19 or 20, depending on the year.

This year, Indiana started to see 70 degree temperatures, however briefly, around March 13, with a return to such temperatures at the end of the month. With April now underway, let’s take a look at conditions predicted through the first part of the growing season.

April, May, and June constitute the traditional planting season for Indiana’s field crops, with potential for a bit of July planting if the first three months do not cooperate. Over this time period, we have a weak El Nino set up and predicted to continue. Looking at average conditions for prior El Nino months via the Useful to Usable Climate Patterns Viewer tool, this sends no particular signal either way on temperatures throughout the spring. For precipitation, the tool shows a mild drying for Central Indiana in May spreading through most parts of the state for June sets up.

Meanwhile, the Climate Prediction Center is providing a three-month outlook showing healthy chances for above-average precipitation over April, May, and June, with most of the state also slightly predicted for above average temperatures. Why the discrepancy? Two reasons glare.

One is the weakness of this El Nino. Temperatures are hanging out in the Pacific just above the 0.5 degree Celsius cutoff. Effects of El Nino are most greatly experienced, thus predicted, on the West Coast and Southeastern portions of the United States. Indiana being a Midwestern state, this

results in less confidence around this particular El Nino. As a result, we go to the second reason.

Indiana is, and has been, rather wet this year. Posey County is about 5 inches of precipitation above their climatic normal. Marion County is 4 inches above. Steuben County is a little under an inch above. Expanding our look to other states, our hearts go out to those affected by the flooding in the Plains and Mississippi River Basin. All of that moisture not currently channeled downstream sits in our soils, and soils take some time to dry. Add to that the active weather pattern we have seen since January, with weekly low-pressure systems and corresponding frontal boundaries traveling across the nation, and we have conditions based on the recent past that suggest slightly warmer, wetter conditions to continue through June.

The National Climate Prediction Center outlook seems to hinge on the continuation of the active weather pattern, particularly when looking at hot, wet predictions for Alaska. If the jet stream and upper air flow return to a more east-west pattern, conditions could vary from the prediction. However, we are currently in the prediction window with two good doses of precipitation forecast in the next seven days. Above average precipitation and temperatures it is.

For more information, please contact Hans Schmitz at hschmitz@purdue.edu or Beth Hall at the Indiana State Climate Office at 765-494-8060.

‘Internet’ continued from Page A1 The Commissioners also unanimously passed Ordinance 2019-02-19-02 designating the unincorporated areas of Posey County as a Broadband Ready Community at the February 19, meeting. These two ordinances now on the books will now be able to get the Broadband expansion ball rolling.

E911-Director Jason Knowles appeared before the Commissioners to request the renewal of the annual maintenance contract with KonSolidated Hardware of Whitestown, Indiana. Knowles said the company has been keeping the CAD servers in top shape for several years now. The commissioners approved the contract fee of $7,556 per year to oversee the dispatch hardware system.

An agreement was approved with Pitney Bowes of Neenah, Wisconsin to replace the county’s two postage meters with brand new ones at a cost of only ten cents more per year.

There is one in the Court House and one in the Coliseum building. The five year contract will cost $348.05 monthly per meter.

In other commission action and announce-

ments: • Posey County Highway Commissioner Steve Schenk announced that the county has been granted $793,865.62 in state funds in this round of Community Crossing Grants for street paving.

• Mark Seib, representing the Area Plan Commission, appeared before the commissioners to inform them that the APC will be taking a request to the Posey County Council for $20,000 to update and look at the language in all county ordinances, particularly newer ones, such as those dealing with wind and solar energy and cell phones.

• Jason Knowles reported to the Commissioners that some trouble he had with the VEI new radio system around the SABIC plant and other locations in Pointe Township have been resolved at this time.

• The Handbook Update listed on the agenda was tabled, as it is not totally completed as of the meeting.

• All claims and minutes were approved.

Spring tax bills have been sent out and are due on May 10.

‘Taylor to retire’ continued from Page A1 are effective immediately. Jenny Ploetz resigned as the high school PE/Health Department Chairperson and Charles Seifert as the high school ECA Supervisor, both effective the end of the 2018-19 school year.

The board adopted a resolution permitting eleven staff members to attend ten educational meetings or trainings in Indiana or Kentucky during the spring season.

In other school board action: • The tobacco-free school environment board policy 805 was changed to add the words “this policy covers all tobacco products including cigarettes, cigars, pipes, snuff, chewing tobacco, and electronic nicotine delivery devices/electronic cigarettes and any other tobacco products. This policy shall be in effect 24 hours a day.”

• approved the use of facilities for the additional summer camp for MV DanceCats.

This is a new camp and it will be conducted June 18-20 by Ivy Elsfelder and Becky DeKemper in the high school gym. The fee is $35.

• declared two Powermatic 90 large woodworking lathes as additional surplus.

They are in good shape and were inadvertently left off the junior high school list.

Director of Business Loren Evans said there is a lot of interest in the surplus sale taking place the first week of April.

• authorized the purchase of property at 920 West Fifth Street from the city at the public sale on April 1 at City Hall. The parcel was cleared by the city and “would be a great investment. It is a good buffer zone near West Elementary School and will only take us ten minutes to mow,” said Superintendent Kopatich. “We have no immediate plans for the lot right now. The purchase will give us control of the site if we want to use it for expansion of the parking lot.”

Evans said the cost is a reasonable $5,000, plus any back taxes, for the 70’ by 40’ lot.

The board approved the purchase, with Beth McFadin Higgins on record as abstaining as she is the city attorney for the sale.

• Kopatich said the new Gordman’s store that opened in Southwind Plaza in March made a $1,000 donation to Mount Vernon High School Principal Matt Thompson for clothing for students. The board felt this was very generous.

• The next board meeting is set for Monday, April 15 at 5:45 p.m. in the junior high school library.

‘Sisters honored’ continued from Page A1 dren, with one absent due to illness.

Although each woman received a unique tribute inscribed on a plaque, both women are noted as a “true follower of Christ.” Pastor Troy explains the Nazarene Distinguished Service Award is presented only to exemplary Christians.

“Everybody is special, but it is for those who go above and beyond to serve,” he states. “The beautiful thing about Mary and Connie is they’re in the shadows a lot of times. They’re not preaching or out there in a crowd. You don’t see them a lot of times.

They are quietly working—cooking, teaching Sunday school, doing things that make the church work. . .It’s like Disney World.

You don’t go to Disney World and see all it takes to make it what it is. They’re just always there, willing to go and do and help and to be the hands and feet of Christ in their world.”

Mary and Connie became members of Point Township Church of the Nazarene June 30, 1974, although they attended before then as children. During one of the speeches, Pastor Troy says the sisters received perhaps their greatest tribute in a reference to their inspiration. “Their brother, Pete, stood up and said, ‘If anyone wants to know what my mother was like, you can just look at Mary and Connie.’” Their mother, Marge Yeida, was an early member and a pillar of the church in Point.

“They received it well. They were very appreciative of it and what everybody did for them,” Pastor Troy states about Mary’s and Connie’s reaction to the honors. “That’s not the reason they do what they do, but still we need to recognize people when we can. They were very touched by it.”

Their servant’s hearts beat strong, for Mary and Connie have definitely pushed themselves, as Pastor Troy states, “ to go above and beyond to serve.” They’ve taught not

only Sunday school classes, but Wednesday night Caravan classes for kids and Vacation Bible School classes as well. When they retired from teaching for a year or two, daughter-in-law Courtney Price relates, Mary volunteered to start a brand-new class, Nursery 2, for her two youngest grandchildren. The class was soon filled with little ones, ages 1-4, and both Mary and Connie teach it now.

Their home cooking is county-renowned.

Most everyone remembers their restaurant, The Gathering, from which they retired in 2012. Connie believes that restaurant was “just the Lord getting us ready” for their ministry to Beyond the Walls, located the past four years on Vine Street in Mount Vernon.

Connie’s son, Bryan, leads Tuesday night services there, and he estimates the women have cooked and served 15,000 meals over the past four years in an average of reaching out to 60-80 people before each service.

Their home cooking has helped pay for the two new vans at Point Township Church of the Nazarene as well. Mary and Connie sponsored donation-based van dinners once a month for this purpose. “They planned, prepped, prepared, served, and cleaned up every single one of the dinners,” Courtney Price recalls. “Through that, the church was able to completely pay off two brand new vans in a little over a year’s time.”

These activities provide a glimpse into the constant service Mary and Connie live to give.

“There’s an old song that says, ‘Give me my roses while I live,’” Pastor Troy states. “It’s just a chance for us to say thank you [with the Distinguished Service Award].”

Connie Thompson speaks for both herself and her sister, Mary Price, when she states about receiving the Distinguished Service Award, “We were grateful. Lots of kind words. Surely didn’t feel worthy, but grateful to have it.” It’s her humble way of saying, “You’re welcome.”

Making the trip to California this summer are, in front, Brandi Schu, Sydney Redman, Majesty Waller, Sadie Redman and Jaycee Jarvis.

FCCLA winners off to California

By Lois Mittino Gray “California, here we come.” The familiar words of this song can be sung by thirteen Mount Vernon Junior High School FCCLA students who qualified in state competition to take their presentations to a national conference in Anaheim this summer from June 30 to July 4. The students will have to work hard to foot the bill to cross the country by hosting fundraisers and getting sponsors, according to FCCLA Club Adviser Laura Davis.

She estimates the cost at about $2,000 to $2,500 each, or around $26,000 total.

The students competed as five teams in five different categories in the state contest in Muncie, Ind., on March 7 through 9. All finished in the top two in their categories, making them eligible to compete at the 2019 National Leadership Conference entitled ‘Believe in Yourself.’

NLC is a student leadership conference with an expected attendance of over 7,500 middle and high school students and their FCCLA Club Advisers.

Over 4,500 of these will be demonstrating their proficiency and achievement in career preparation projects.

Every state in the Union will be represented, as well as Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic and other neighboring countries.

FCCLA (Family, Career, Community Leaders of America) is the only inschool student organization with the family as the central focus. It prepares a student for an adult life of involvement, cooperation and leadership. Sessions will include new member orientation, student presentations, a Fun Scavenger Hunt, a 5K Glow Run/Walk, and informative workshops. Since Disneyland is in Anaheim, the Disney organization will be putting on workshops on careers in costuming, culinary to watch and learn while his brother served over the past eight years.

“Working with great law enforcement and an incredible staff, they have done a lot of great things for Posey County, making our community a better and safer community in which to live,” Thomas explained. “I want to continue that. Travis can definitely say he is leaving the office better than he found it and I want to be in a position to say the same thing some day when I leave the office. No matter how good things are, there is always room for improvement and progress and I look forward to it.”

Clowers says no changes in staff are anticipated.

The exact date and time for the change has not been determined but Clowers says he is anxious to go to work for the people of Posey County…his friends, his neighbors and his family.

arts, and one called ‘Creating a Leadership Legacy.’

Side tours will be offered to nearby sites such as Knott’s Berry Farm, Disneyland, Los Angeles, or a day at Long Beach. Since they will be there on Independence Day, Davis said one thing being bantered around if there is enough money in the budget is to go see the fireworks at Disneyland.

There is a Fourth of July Party planned on the holiday evening as a FCCLA event and they may be visible from that site, too.

Davis, a first year FACS (Family and Consumer Science) teacher at the junior high, noted she has “some big shoes to fill” when Tammy Schneider moved up to high school FACS last year. The club had been actively doing these successful projects and many had already been to the national conference last year in Atlanta, Georgia. Now she finds herself helping to plan many fundraisers and arrange trip details.

Davis compared 36 flights in preparation for an upcoming parent meeting at school.

Parents will purchase the plane tickets for now, so the reservations can be made early. Airfare is estimated to run about $13,000. Hotel will be about $7,500, with meals at $1,750 and workshop and event registrations around $3,000.

What are some plans to obtain these kinds of funds?

The group’s first fundraiser was selling puff pastries

by April 1. The single-serve packages of twelve have flaky crust with fruit or pizza fillings and sold very well.

After brainstorming ideas, Kaylen Salee suggested car washes while Majesty Waller touted selling Donut Bank doughnuts and hosting ‘Give Back Nights,’ like at Hacienda Restaurant. Sydney Redman talked about conducting yoga or dance classes and charging fees and having bake sales. Lily Denning thought it would be fun to have a ‘Food Truck Day’ with a portion of the sales donated to their cause. “We also make and sell our own dog treats,” she said.

Eligible winners and their category include Sadie Redman and Majesty Waller with a Chapter in Review Portfolio. “We basically did an eight minute Powerpoint show that pretty much summed up what the chapter did during 2017-2018 and some into 2019,” Redman explained. The pair also went to Georgia last year in the chapter review category and treasure the friendships

made while there.

Sydney Redman, Lily Denning, and Kaylen Salee entered in the Chapter Service Projects Portfolio Category. The trio spoke for over ten minutes about the 25 homemade arm pillows they made for DaVita Dialysis that were delivered on March 6. The trio was quick to thank WSI and other sponsors around the community who donated the money for supplies. All three attended national last year in the same category.

Beau Baldwin and Jaycee Jarvis competed in the Life Planning Event category.

The pair is hard at work planning Eighth Grade Day for students during the last week of school. “We will plan a field trip for them on that day, including a meal and all activities. We are thinking about going to Elite Air in Newburgh and need to raise money for it as part of our project,” Jarvis said. She went to Georgia last year, but Beau is a beginner at FCCLA competitions.

Emily McCarty, Abbi Miller, and Brandi Schu presented a six minute Powerpoint in the Food Innovations category. All three are new to competition. “We focused on celiac disease and made gluten-free granola bars,” Schu said. They tried their creations on a Special Ed class who enjoyed them.

The trio paid for materials themselves.

Jayana Russell, Serenity Gates, and Jacob Loughary presented a seven minute illustrated talk on a “Speak Out” website they developed for students to use anonymously to submit information on red flag behavior and bullying behaviors of fellow students to ensure safety.

Jayana and Jacob went to national last year, but this will be a first time for Serenity.

Mount Vernon Junior High Principal Mark Hostettler remarked, “I’m really excited about this. It’s such an honor. The winners have worked really hard and practiced in front of students and their teachers. It will be a daunting task to raise all the funds, but I think people will come forward to help.”

If you or your business would like to come forward and make a donation to the students, please call Laura Davis at the school. 812833-2077. Looking around the table at her tremendous thirteen, she observed, “The future of our society is sitting in this room. These are the community leaders of tomorrow. This is a great investment to make. ”

Experience best teacher, please draw from it

B D P I like to consider myself a learner. I believe I take nearly every opportunity to learn, not only from my mistakes but from the mistakes of others. I like to believe I can learn from events in my own life and events in the lives of others.

Several recent events in life have led me down the path of learning of my own mortality. Sometimes you and I think that we will just always be here and we take so many things for granted. We take friends, family, and time for granted. At a certain age, we realize just how precious all three are and every day, at least one of them grows less.

The appointment of Travis Clowers as judge and now Thomas Clowers as prosecutor has reached up and slapped me in the face like a game at the circus. These are the kids I have watched grow up from a very young age. How is it possible that these two, along with many others their age, are now leaders in the community and have taken over such important positions.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough for an old guy to fatham.

Although I know both of the boys very well, Thomas has literally been like a second son to me. He has spent countless nights in our home and is still my sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend. So how can it be that this guy, who used to refer to our basement as his â&#x20AC;&#x153;safe placeâ&#x20AC;? can be old enough to take on the role of prosecutor?

Let me give you a little background. To say that he comes from strict parents might be a bit of an understatement. The Clowers family became a part of our â&#x20AC;&#x153;sports familyâ&#x20AC;? as our sons grew up together. As far back as I can remember, it has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eric

A T M

APRIL 9, 2019

and Thomasâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thomas and Eric.â&#x20AC;? They played everything together from baseball to basketball, to soccer, to tennis. They have traveled with each other on family vacations but no matter the distance or petty disagreements, at the end of the day, they were still brothers and best friends.

They attended college together and were â&#x20AC;&#x153;best menâ&#x20AC;? in each othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; weddings. So how is this possible.

As reality has unfolded before me in the past few years, I have had to accept the fact that ready or not, these young men were poised to take positions in our community. Speaking as a councilman, I can honestly say that Travis Clowers was very near perfect from both a job performance standpoint to ďŹ duciary obligations.

When word came calling that he might be appointed as judge, I instantly became selfish. As a councilman, it is my job to try to get the most and best for the people in our community. I just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bear to think that someone who had achieved so much in a relatively short period of time would be moving out of that position and would be giving way to someone else.

But when reality set in and Travis was appointed, where were we going to ďŹ nd someone who could ďŹ ll his shoes? The pool of qualiďŹ ed Posey County residents was not huge.

It was then that I heard that Thomas might be considering applying for the position. Somehow in my mind I could not separate the little guy with the innocent smile who would do anything to win in a sports contest could be the prosecutor of a county.

At ďŹ rst, I was unable to bring myself to realize this could very well be the new reality. The two guys I had watched play hundreds of athletic events would be a judge, and a prosecutor in our county.

But as the events of the days have played out, I have been forced to realize that I am older than I believe myself to be. People my age or near my age are no longer the ones being called upon to be the leaders of the community. There comes a time when you have to hand the baton to the next guy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always an easy thing to do, especially when you realize the experience that you have to oďŹ&#x20AC;er and the inexperience they surely must possess.

The same holds true in my other profession in an automobile dealership. Although I have a great customer base, sometimes people come to the store and arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there necessarily because I am there. Each season, another new crop of salespeople begin. Honestly, most will not make it because it is not an easy job. The hours are long and the pay is not what it once was.

Through both of these, I am ďŹ nding a common denominator. The ones who are successful realize that at their age, they do not know everything. They are willing to

listen and take advice from the senior guys who have been around the block.

I could not be more proud of the two young men who will be taking the reins in Posey County. They are brothers but they certainly arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t twins. Each has his own strengths and weaknesses. The only prayer that I have is that neither of them get too â&#x20AC;&#x153;smartâ&#x20AC;? to listen to those who have much experience and to heed advice given in the right manner. And the other half of my prayer is that we, who have walked many miles in our own and othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shoes, do not lose the desire to see our replacements succeed. For them to fail is for us to fail.

As long as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m around, my young friends, this is an open invitation to ask me for opinions or advice at any time. At my age, the only advantage I have over you is experience. Please use my experience and the experiences of others to help make yourselves better and to make Posey county a better place to live. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress.

bad. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an incredible series of emotional and mental extremes, with beautiful thunderstorms and stunning sunrises.

Never judge a person for their mistakes, judge them on how they ďŹ x them. (Anonymous) Sometimes all that matters is youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still trying. (Wilder) Never lose hope. The butterďŹ&#x201A;y is proof that beauty can emerge from something completely falling apart. (Jane Lee Logan) Speak to your children (and grandchildren!) as if they are the wisest, kindest, most beautiful and magical humans on earth, for what

they believe is what they will become. (Brooke Hampton) And another anonymous quote: In life we do things. Some we wish we had never done.

Some we wish we could replay a million times in our heads, but they all make us who we are.

And in the end they shape every detail about us. So just live. Make mistakes. Have wonderful memories. But never ever second guess who you are, where you have beenâ&#x20AC;Śand most importantly where it is you are going.

Sometimes, words from others are what keep me focused on the path my life is taking. And for now, that is all that matters.

Finally some wonderful, warm, spring weather! In honor of that, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to be spending time outside. So, sharing some of my recent posts to Facebook â&#x20AC;&#x201C; short, newsy, insightful (maybe!). Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also sharing quotes from others whose words express my feelings in a better way than I can (at this moment, anyway!).

From my front porch musings: March 13: Sitting on the front porch earlier this evening, resting after doing some gardening - ďŹ nally!! I planted radishes, spinach, and a couple diďŹ&#x20AC;erent types of lettuce. I am, according to the wisdom of my Grandpa Ramsey, a month late: they should have gone in the ground on Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Oh, well, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see what happens. I pulled some weeds, and found that some small creature - most likely the squirrel that fusses at me whenever I deign to walk near his tree! - had dug up some of the bulbs I planted last weekend. I replanted the ones he hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consumed. I guess I can share a few with him - this time! The warm temps and sunshine were wonderful, providing a hint, a tease, of spring.

March 19: Sitting on the sofa, enjoying my sundae (hey, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strawberry - fruit, right?!)...I just got home from chorus rehearsal. Such a great group of musicians. I am blessed to be able to share my love of music with them. Today was a simple, wonderful day, starting with listening to the birds singing their happy songs

this morning with a beautiful sunrise as a backdrop. I taught my last Junior Achievement class and received a lovely thank you card signed by all the students. Presley kept me company for a couple of hours at my oďŹ&#x192;ce today while her mom and dad ran some errands; there is nothing to compare to the joyful voices and sweet hugs of a grandchild. Surrounded by the gentle music of life, all day long March 25 (and the inspiration for a recent column!): Sitting on the front porch!!! Yay!!

I was ďŹ nally able to play in the dirt today. A lilac that I bought last season (one of three) and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get planted in the ground is going to bloom in the pot it lived in during the winter; the other two arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t this far along but do have tiny leaves. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still trying to decide where to plant them. And, although it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretty (fences obviously arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t my thing!), I installed chicken wire fencing around my raised beds, trying to keep the rabbits away from the cabbage, broccoli, cauliďŹ&#x201A;ower, and kale that I planted today.

Take that, Peter Rabbit! And now, I am sitting, listening to the birds and the sounds of the neighborhood And now, wisdom from others: When your head hits the pillow tonight, remind yourself that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a good job.

You are headed down your path at your own pace, and with every obstacle you are doing your utmost best. Be patient with yourself, and remember that big things are not achieved all at once, but one day at a time. (I have to keep reminding myself about this one. Sometimes, I am my own worst enemy.)

Letters to the Editor Did anyone bite you at work today?

On average, nearly 15 mail carriers per day will say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes.â&#x20AC;?

Postal Service oďŹ&#x192;cials report that in 2018, 5,714 letter carriers experienced dog bites or dog attacks. With deliveries every day, including Sundays and holidays, carriers continue to experience dog bites in urban, suburban, and rural settings.

Dog attacks and bites are 100 percent preventable when dog owners remain vigilant and properly restrain their dogs.

To ensure mail carriersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; safety, dog owners must securely lock their dog in another room until a delivery exchange is done. If outside, dogs must be leashed a distance from the mailbox.

When a carrier feels unsafe, mail service could be interrupted, not only for the dog owner, but for the entire neighborhood. When mail service is interrupted, mail must be picked up at the Post OďŹ&#x192;ce.

Service will not be restored until the dog is properly restrained.

With your help, we can keep our carriers, your neighbors and your dogs safe. Thank you for protecting your pet and our mail carrier as we continue to bring packages and correspondence to your door each day.

Two auspicious days

The seven day period beginning April 08 and ending April 15 has two important days, one joyous and one sad. April 08 is Pegâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday. Please wish her happiness and strength as she deals with having me home a lot more now. As to the other signiďŹ cant anniversary, Abraham Lincoln died on April 15, 1865. As if paying our taxes on April 15 was not already sad enough.

Of course, there is a certain historic connection between federal income taxes and President Lincoln. He helped institute the ďŹ rst federal income tax to pay for the Civil War, which was fought to preserve the Union. However, after the Civil War ended the income tax was also ended until 1916 when it was made permanent by the 16th Amendment to the Constitution.

Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois claim Lincoln for our own but hardly anyone lays claim to the income tax. As Peg and I will wait until 11:59 p.m. on April 15 to pay ours we assume we will have a lot of fellow travelers. It is widely accepted that the major need for America to impose taxes on itself is to pay for wars or the preparation for potential wars. Oh, we expend a lot for various other things too such as salaries and expense accounts for Congress people, Executive Branch workers and judges, health care and the clean up after celebrations such as inaugurations and tickertape parades to honor sports teams. I am assured by those involved in these endeavors our hard earned money is well spent.

If you are like me you put Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln in a separate rariďŹ ed class from other presidents. And while George Washington never visited Posey County, Indiana as did Abraham Lincoln (thanks to M E

my friend and historian Jerry King for this information), I note Washington managed to birth our nation without a federal income tax. Anyway, I forgive Lincoln since he took the time to dedicate a bridge in Savah, Posey County, Indiana in 1844 when he was campaigning for Henry Clay (17771852); Clay lost. Maybe those early Hoosiers suspected Abraham Lincoln might someday start an income tax.

Well, income taxes and the Civil War aside, Abraham Lincoln still has much to teach us about humility, compromise, mercy, justice and just plain decency. And as for Pegâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday, I am going to celebrate it by thanking you Gentle Readers who have been kind enough to commiserate with her as she has often served as a foil in these articles over the many years!

Vikings enjoy wins over Rebels, PC, but lose two

By Chris Morlan Last Monday afternoon, the Vikings baseball team played the South Spencer Rebels. This was the Vikings second home game of the season. North Posey came into this game on a three-game winning streak and they are undefeated for the season.

During last years sectional championship game, the Vikings beat South Spencer to claim their first sectional title since 2006. North Posey won that game 7-1.

North Posey took an early first-inning 1-0 lead. The Vikings scored three more runs in the second inning to take a 4-0 lead. South Spencer scored one run in the fourth inning to make the score 4-1.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, North Posey scored two more runs to lead 6-1.

During the bottom of the fifth inning, North Posey scored their final run of the game to get the win. The Vikings went to the plate 29 times with nine hits and left six players on base.

Senior Shane Harris started on the mound for the Vikings and provided a great performance. Harris pitched five-and-two-thirds innings, allowed one hit, one run, two walks and struck out 15 batters on 94 pitches. Owen Spears came into the game during the sixth inning and

pitched one-third of an inning. Spears had six pitches and struck out the one batter he faced in the game. Hunter Alkire closed out the game in the seventh inning. Alkire allowed no hits, no runs, one walk and had two strikeouts on 19 pitches thrown.

The Easter Story as told in the King James Bible The Last Supper - And his disciples went forth, and came into

The Crucifixion - And when they were come to the place, which

the city, and found as he said unto them: and they made ready for the passover.

And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. ~ MARK 14:16-17 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. Verily I say unto you. I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God. ~ MARK 14:22-25

is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Then said Jesus, Father forgive them; for they know not what they do. ~ LUKE 23:33-34 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. And the sun was darkened, and the vail of the temple was rent in the midst. And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, he said, Father into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. ~ LUKE 23:44-47

The Betrayal - And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the peo ple. Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him. ~ MATTHEW 26:47-49 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. ... And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done?

But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. ~ MATTHEW 27:2, 23-26

Jesus Led Away, Mocked - Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying Hail King of the Jews! And they spit on him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.

And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him and led him away to crucify him. ~ MATTHEW 27:27-31 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. And there followed him a great company of people and women, which also bewailed and lamented him. ~ LUKE 23:26-27

Jesus Is Risen - And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. ~ MARK 16:2-7

Received Up Into Heaven - So then, after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. ~ MARK 16:19-20 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen. ~ LUKE 24:51-53

Why Christians Celebrate - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. ~ JOHN 3:16-17
