Poseyville makes plans for $700,000 wastewater grant By Therera Bratcher The Poseyville Town Hall conference room, filled to capacity, was bustling with excitement as a new yet familiar face joined the council. Justin Rutledge, well known for his community involvement not only in Poseyville but all of Posey County, was sworn in as the new council member attending his first official meeting. Rutledge, and those in attendance, got a good ‘breaking-in’ as there were multiple issues on the table and many decisions to be made at the June meeting. Andy Zeller from EREP presided over the OCARA hearing portion of the meeting, giving an explanation and budget for a grant for the wastewater plant. The grant will provide $700,000 if awarded. Zeller assured there would be no rate increases due to this grant application, and explained the town’s responsibility, the timeline, bidding, and construction proposed schedule. Relaying that along with the OCRA grant, the town was also seeking assistance through SRF (State Revolving Fund), another bond and grant opportunity, he then opened the meeting for public comment seeking input from those who have dealt with back sewage or over-

flow at their residence. Resident Carol Lupfer asked if the work that was to be done at the waste plant would affect property taxes and was assured by council President Mike Baehl this was not a property tax funded project, so taxes would not be affected. Roger Heathcotte spoke on the conditions of the plant and equipment that are in a “harsh environment.” He continued, “Components break down or just wear out. If we are not prepared it could cause some serious problems in our environment. This could cause some health and safety issues if not addressed now.” Baehl shared, “Hopefully we can save money with this project. Our crew does a terrific job of making repairs. The guys get up in the middle of the night if a float goes bad and repairs them. This is so that no one goes without service or handles issues that occur due to float not operating properly. Right now, we have a box fan on a control panel it to keep it from overheating. We need to address this in the worst way. If we can address these issues it will save money in the end.”

MV youngster dies in fireworks mishap By Dave Pearce Under the waning light of a setting Waxing Crescent moon in Mount Vernon on the evening of July 3, 2022, a Mount Vernon child lost his life as the result of a fireworks incident near the corner of East Tenth and Canal streets. Eleven-year-old Camrynn Ray McMichael reportedly died of his injuries while enroute to the hospital. Posey County 911 was called around 9:45 by someone who reported a child being seriously injured in a fireworks incident. Radio traffic called for the first available response team as soon as possible. LifeFlight was called to the scene and was only a few minutes away when they were reportedly told to abandon the

flight. Several friends and family members were at the west parking lot at the Mount Vernon High School football field where police were asked to assist with the situation. Following the disbursement of the crowd at the high school parking lot, members of the Indiana State Police Department met on or near the front parking lot at Theodosis Auto on East Tenth Street. Mount Vernon Police offices had secured the scene earlier. Kyrra McMichael, the boy’s mother, told news sources that her son was dedicated, hard-working, and intelligent, with a passion for football and baseball, and dreams to one day make it to the

MV students get chance to wear stripes By Trisha L. Lopez Mount Vernon High School students will have the opportunity to add a new skill set to their resumes when classes resume next month: athletic officiating. The shortage of qualified sports officials has impacted athletics at nearly every level across the country. According to the National Federation of High Schools (NFHS), more than 50,000 officials have stepped away from high school athletics since the 2018-19 season. NFHS leaders say issues ranging from age to fan harassment have resulted in diminishing numbers that have already begun to impact young athletes’ ability to take the field. Wildcats Athletic Director Leigh Latshaw and Principal Kyle Jones learned about a class proposed by the state’s high school sports governing body geared at addressing the shortage from the ground up during an Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) meeting early last year. “If we can get our hooks in kids while they’re still in high school, we may be able to get them licensed and keep them as IHSAA officials as young adults,” Latshaw said. Students will have the opportunity to pursue licensure in several sports through in-class instruction. The IHSAA has partnered with the Indiana Department of Education to develop curriculum for the class, which will count as a physical education credit for students. “With this class, students can learn the rules of the game on a more in-depth level and learn the mechanics of officiating various sports. Once they pass the course and tests to earn a probationary license that allows them to officiate feeder league and junior high school contests to gain experience and earn some money,” Jones said. Jones said the class is a great opportunity for kids…many current high school athletes themselves…to stay connected with their sport long after their time in a Wildcats jersey has ended. “Unless they are one of the minority of students who go

(USPS 439-500)

on to compete in college, many student athletes graduate and then begin to miss being a part of something. They are missing the sports they played in high school,” Jones said. “Officiating gives them a way to give back to their favorite sport, continue to be involved in that sport and make some money while giving back.” Jones said 13 students have enrolled in the inaugural class for the fall semester. Hank Lopez, physical education teacher and assistant athletic director, will teach the class. “This will help our students and Mount Vernon Junior High School because it is difficult to find officials. We are fortunate to have Mr. Hank Lopez on staff to teach the course. He has been a head coach in several sports and has the right knowledge, experience and disposition to be a great instructor in this course.” Lopez, who schedules officials for Mount Vernon High School sporting events, has dealt with the difficulty in finding officials firsthand. Baseball, soccer and swimming can be the most difficult slots to fill, he said. Students will have the option to choose which sports they’d like covered in class. “This past school year there were games where we had to make numerous phone calls to find available officials. Most were already booked. The number of total officials in this area is shrinking,” Lopez said. “The harsh truth is that if we don’t find ways to get more people involved in officiating, we are going to have to start canceling games. No one wants that.” Lopez earned his official’s license in baseball and basketball after taking an officiating class as a student at Indiana State University in Terre Haute. While he no longer dons the stripes…he moved from the field to the sidelines as a coach… he said he is excited about the chance to help with the development of the next generation of officials. The IHSAA offers licensure in 20 different sports.

Invest in yourself and your health

The best investment you can make is in yourself. You can work, invest, save and accumulate wealth, but what good is it if you ignore yourself? A friend of mine once said, “If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.” A sure way to undermine your financial security is to neglect your health. Failing health always results in life insecurity. When your health fails, you don’t feel like working. You aren’t able to enjoy life or take care of others. Whatever you have accumulated financially will go to pay for emergency medical costs, rehabilitation or a nursing home. A family member was sick years ago, and the out-of-pocket monthly cost for her care was over $15,000 a month. Obviously, this soon became financially debilitating. While you are living life, working, going to school, raising your family, enjoying your golden years, keep this in mind, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I know there are no silver bullets when it comes to our health. I’ve had health issues, two cancer procedures and other ailments. I’ve spent the last 30 years eating grilled chicken and salmon. I’ve walked, jogged, played sports and lifted weights most all of my life. My doctor told me I have to do more. He literally said, “No red meat, no sugar, no dairy, no fried foods.” What is left? He did say I can eat some bison, venison and elk, which I have tried

B D . G M

T S B D H Not having much growing up other kids often made me feel inferior. I was ridiculed for not being able to participate in school activities like sports, because we lived so far from town, and we couldn’t afford it. Some called us white trash because we wore plain clothes. Most of our shirts my momma made. While other kids enjoyed the summer at the swimming pool or on lengthy vacations, we mostly worked after school and summers. We had our fun but it was just different than most kids. Our fun was working on farms and doing mechanical stuff. Fixing motorcycles, pickups, tractors and that old blue Plymouth Valiant, with a three on the tree and a slant six. The picture is of us kids when we were young. That old Plymouth was our ride and our education. Bet you can tell which one I was… yep the ornery looking one on the right.

and enjoy them all. My 100-year-old friend who lives close by says she eats a little of everything but very little of everything, majoring on vegetables, fruits and staying active. There has to be something to her lifestyle because it works for her. She still lives alone, in her own house and cares for herself. She laughs a lot and has a lot of adoring friends. So, while you are building your financial security, invest in your health. See your doctor. Have routine blood tests. Monitor your blood sugar, LDL (bad cholesterol), blood pressure and have an occasional CT or MRI scan to find out what you really look like on the inside. If your doctor finds something, then you can tackle what you know about. If you don’t know what your enemy is, then you can’t put up a defense or an offense. Investing time in taking care of yourself means you can enjoy your life longer. You will be in a better position to help your family or friends, instead of them taking care of you. Keep moving. Take your vitamins, eat as healthily as possible and try. What do you have to lose? Consider all you might gain. Dr. Glenn Mollette is the author of 13 books including Uncommon Sense.

Just be kind Anyway… I don’t get why people have to act like they are better off than others. We see it all the time, people with their nose stuck up in the air, and having distain for those not like them. People can be quick to judge based on appearances. Ecclesiastes 10:6-7 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low places. I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth. My point is this… we are all just people. There are good ones and bad ones, rich and poor. But how you treat others is what sets you apart. When it comes our time to depart this earth just remember Bill Gates or Warren Buffet ain’t taking anything more with them than you. Ecclesiastes 6:7-8 All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled. For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living? Just be kind.

New grant program helps tackle chronic health issues There is no one-size-ﬁts-all approach to address Indiana’s health challenges. Chronic problems like obesity and smoking often vary from county to county. To improve health outcomes across Hoosier communities, local providers recently received a funding boost thanks to a new state grant program. Indiana awarded $35 million through the Health Issues and Challenges Grant, which is made possible through legislation I supported, to help communities large and small tackle health problems. Click here to learn about funding

coming to our area. Service providers will use these dollars to help address issues related to tobacco use, food insecurity/obesity, lead exposure, hepatitis C, chronic disease, and disease prevention programs, including community paramedicine and community health workers. Local organizations like county health departments, municipalities and nonproﬁt organizations are eligible for a second round of funding, and are encouraged to apply for the Indiana Health Issues and Challenges Grant.

Letter to the Editor The Federal Reserve Fell Asleep As a Babson MBA graduate I am highly disappointed with the Federal Reserve’s very late recognition of the runaway inflation impacting our country. Inflation is running at 8.5% compared to a year ago, and the Federal Reserve (Fed) only started to increase interest rates in March 2022 to try to reach its target of 2.0%. How did we reach this debacle? The Covid pandemic during the period 2020 to 2021 necessitated the implementation of relief plans, which had the Treasury Department pump almost $4 trillion in programs and tax credits into the U.S. economy. The availability of these funds and the savings accumulated by consumers in 2020 and 2021 provided a springboard of demand unleashed in the last half of 2021 and into 2022. This created the primary impetus for escalating inflation. A secondary cause has been the supply chain constraints, and a tertiary cause is the Ukrainian War. But where was the Fed in its role to implement monetary policy and control inflation? During 2020-2021 the Fed kept its federal funds rate at a bottom floor level of 0.00%-0.25%, and with Quantitative Easing (QE) increased

G G

its balance sheet assets from $4 trillion to $9 trillion. This monetary policy was designed to combat the economic impact of the pandemic, but inflationary pressures were ramping up around the middle of 2021 when I stated to family members the Fed should be increasing interest rates and ending its QE program. The Fed continued its near zero interest rate and large monthly purchases of tens of billions of dollars in Treasury securities into 2022, which increased the money supply and the availability of bank loans. This was expansionist and continued the upward inflationary pressures. As inflation kept surging the Fed erroneously believed the increased inflation was transitory and would subside. The Fed finally woke up and determined inflation was pervasive and started belatedly raising interest rates and ending its purchases of Treasury securities in March 2022. Note: The Fed is a non-partisan entity responsible for the implementation of monetary policy. The U.S. administrations are responsible for fiscal policy (e.g. spending, taxes). Donald Moskowitz

Transparency helps curb medical costs Indiana is one of the most prominent states in the country in medical product manufacturing and manufacturing generally, as well as shipping and distribution. Yet our health care is some of the nation’s most expensive and is threatening Indiana’s thriving business sector. Due in part to our relatively low corporate tax rate and generous property tax abatements, Indiana has become home to some of this country’s most innovative and prominent pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers. Indiana also touts an exceptional transportation economy thanks to its central position in the U.S. and its streamlined transportation system. Each year, 724 million tons of freight is transported through Indiana, making it the fifth most active state for commercial freight traffic. While Indiana is a leader in manufacturing and distribution of medical products, our health care consistently ranks as one of the most expensive in the country, making health care increasingly unaffordable to Hoosier employers and individual consumers. With such productivity in innovation and manufacturing within the health care sector, it’s disappointing that our state’s hospital rates are ranked seventh in the nation, according to the RAND 4.0 Hospital Transparency Study. Indiana hospitals are the fourth most expensive in the country for inpatient services and sixth for outpatient services. In 2020, Hoosier employers paid almost three times the prices they paid Medicare for the same services, higher than all four surrounding states: Michigan, Illinois, Ohio and Kentucky. Yet Indiana physicians are reimbursed at one of the lowest rates in the nation. These factors have caused Indiana employers and care providers to take their business to other states.

I came to the U.S. Senate to tackle the broken, expensive American health care system. From the beginning, I’ve preached that transparency is the key to competition, leading to greater access and quality of health care. President Donald Trump made significant strides in infusing transparency into hospitals and big insurance through his Hospital Price Transparency and Transparency in Coverage rules. I have a bill to codify his rules, called the Health Care PRICE Transparency Act, which would require basic transparency in hospital service pricing and insurer cost-sharing information. I’m encouraged by the Biden administration’s enforcement of this rule, but as of February, only 14 percent of hospitals are complying with the price transparency rule, which went into effect January 2021. It’s past time for hospitals across the country to embrace price transparency to bring down unnecessarily high medical costs for hardworking Hoosiers and other Americans. Without visibility into prices, self-insured employers are not only unable to offer coverage plans that provide the most value to their employees, they’re also forced to bear the brunt of often high-priced care of their employees. This inhibits patient access to quality health care and hurts the economy. It is critical that the hospital and insurance industries start embracing price and cost-sharing transparency. The lack of compliance with the Hospital Price Transparency rule by hospitals across the country, especially in Indiana, is disappointing. Hoosiers need transparency to restore the state’s hospitable environment for business and entrepreneurialism.

Democracy

Plato (c. 427-348 BC) set forth the best B reason for people to be J J involved in politics: R “The chief penalty of refusing to govern yourself is to be governed by one’s inferiors.” The Republic, Vol. I, p. 347. Plato was Socrates’ (c. 470-399 BC) student and Aristotle’s (c. 384-322 BC) teacher. Those three Greeks laid the foundation for the thought behind our democracy. Their general philosophies on law and self-government were studied by England’s John Locke (1632-1704), expanded by France’s Montesquieu (1689-1755) and Rosseau (17121778) and written into the Constitution of the United States, mainly by James Madison (1751-1836). Each of these legal philosophers cautioned about the unfettered power of the state. Locke feared monarchies. Montesquieu called for divided government to restrain the

power of any one segment and Madison put it all together and designed a form of self-government based on three equal branches, Executive, Legislative and Judicial. The core of each of these philosophies of law is a fear of unrestrained power united with the ideal of citizen involvement in their own legal system. For both of these goals to be achieved or maintained, good people have to be willing to serve in their government. The Fourth of July, 1776 is when our Founders made the momentous decision to stand up to Great Britain and to take responsibility for governing themselves. Two hundred and forty-six years later amid mass shootings, war in Europe, inflation, COVID and a citizenry sharply at odds over virtually every issue from wearing masks to gun control we are testing our credo of self-government. The national news media relies upon a general disdain of politicians to pump up ratings. Almost no one is willing to run for political office due to the unrelenting bile cast upon the few who are. Most of us see July 04 as a time for

fireworks and barbeque not a time to regenerate an interest in a participatory democracy. Are we self-destructing instead of self-governing? Perhaps, but not necessarily. We have survived plagues of typhoid, Spanish flu, civil war and world wars thanks to people of good character being willing to sacrifice their right to simply complain, while instead they sacrifice themselves upon the altar of active public service. As for me, I say thank you to all who are willing to help us preserve our democratic form of government. Public service is almost always synonymous with personal sacrifice. Thank you to everyone from Main Street to Potomac Avenue who helps me, my family, my friends and my country to remain free from rule by those who might care only about themselves. Happy birthday to all of us. Go vote and share your unique talents by getting involved in America. For more Gavel Gamut articles go to www. jamesmredwine.com.

Jerome “Jerry” Layne King left this worldly earth on Wednesday, June 29, 2022 after a long and arduous battle with his health. Born in Evansville, Ind., on January 8, 1961, Jerry was the youngest of 12 children of the late Bill and Ruth (Redman) King. Growing up a poor farm boy taught him to really enjoy the little things in life. He loved music, animals, and most of all, feeding others. His mother taught him to cook at an early age and boy, could he deliver. If you’ve ever eaten a meal made by Jerry, you know that he put everything he had into each concoction. Love was by far his most used ingredient. Growing up, Jerry’s largest passion in life was his family. Always the caretaker, he made sure his brothers and sisters, nieces, and nephews (and even their friends) always had a good time wherever they may go. Even with country music blaring from the record player, his infectious laugh could still be heard over the tune. You may have even earned yourself a quarter if you could tell him who the singer was. After graduating from Mount Vernon Senior High

School in 1980, Jerry worked for Wessleman’s Grocery in the meat department for 18 years. It was here that he met the love of his life, Debra “Debbie” Wallis while she refilled his tea glass at the Waffle House for a 10 cent tip. We all know Jerry loved to save money when he could. They were wed at Calvary Baptist Church in Mount Vernon, Ind., on March 22, 1986. Nothing, though, made Jerry happier than serving his wife, and soon after his children - Allison and Jared King. Their childhood was filled to the brim with memories of camping, late night music sessions (complete with a grilled cheese or Spam sandwich) and spontaneous family road trips. He was also

He was born December 23, 1936 in Memphis, Texas to the late Charlie and Nan (Carter) May. Roy graduated in 1954 from Memphis High School. Following graduation, he attended Texas Tech for three years. He worked for Brown and Root Construction and Mid Valley Construction as a piping superintendent. Roy was a member of Mount Pleasant General Baptist Church. He enjoyed meeting his friends at McDonald’s for coﬀee and eating out with his Bible study group on Fridays and also on Sundays after church. Roy loved spending time with his grandkids and visiting the Henderson family farm in Mississippi where he rode four-wheelers with his brother-in-law, Warren. He enjoyed watching stock car and drag racing, and the Dallas Cowboys football team, especially in the 70’s. He was preceded in death by his parents and sister, Edna Richardson Eversole. He is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Sue (Henderson) May; son, Derek May (Susan); daughter, Tracy Fischer (Andrew); grandchildren, Wesley and

Randall Allen Bledsoe Randall Allen “Randy” Bledsoe, age 60, died unexpectedly on Monday, June 27, 2022. Randy was born August 1, 1961 in Evansville, Ind., and attended Saint Philip Grade School and Mount Vernon Senior High School. He had worked at PSC Fabricating Corp. as a General Foreman. Randy enjoyed NASCAR and could be found every Sunday with friends at their “NASCAR Shack,” each closely following their favorite driver. He was very proud of his garden and loved to tend to his plants and watch their growth

blessed with two grandchildren, Rory and Laurel, whom he loved dearly. Above all, Jerry was a servant of God. He attended Calvary Baptist Church most of his life where he sang in the choir, served on the board, and of course cooked for many a fellowship meal. He was also blessed, however, to gracefully serve Harvestime Temple for 22 years as their custodian until he retired in 2019. To know Jerry was to know love; he lived large, loved hard, and sang loud. He especially loved old time Gospel music and never missed an opportunity to belt it out while working, driving, or just to drive his family a little crazy. Jerry was preceded in death by his brothers, Paul Wayne, William, and Gordon King; sisters Carol Spradlin, Bonnie Traﬀord, and Jane Gibson; brother-in-laws, Donald Gibson, John Ray Bass and Frank McDavid; nephew, Gary Traﬀord and Dennis McDavid; and his father-in-law, Wilbur Wallis. He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Debbie; children, Allison (Laurel) and Jared (Rory), and his mother-in-law, Betty Wallis. He is also survived by his siblings, Martha Mc-

National and Local News 100 Years Ago News From The Western Star, July 5, 1922 - Mount Vernon for an afternoon’s sport of fishing. Returning from the water’s edge at seven, they partook of a lunch consisting of potato salad, deviled eggs, and sandwiches, after which they returned to their homes and shortly after cleaning the fish, Fred became deathly ill. While ministering to his first patient, Arthur Schenk became ill and it was not until early Monday morning when they were pronounced out of danger. It is not known just what produced the sickness, but Dr. Doerr, stated that with eating the various foods, cleaning the fish and perhaps drinking

water from the river, the torrid weather of Sunday, and the bites from mosquitoes were the probable causes. Mr. Cogill suffered no ill effects from eating from the same lunch. Sheriffs Of Two Counties Are Making Raids Today Sheriff McFadden of Posey County and Sheriff Males of Vanderburgh County with a force of deputies, are making a search for alleged moonshine stills near the county line in Robinson Township today. A Robinson Township man who lives about one and one-half miles north of Pete Schaefer’s store was arrested at four this morning by Sheriff Males and deputies near Evansville. The man was headed for the city and when his machine was searched, 19 gallons of moonshine were found. The officers will make a determined effort today to locate the still which is believed to be in Robinson Township. (Stay tuned.)

Utopia Land begins here on Friday New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art, University of Southern Indiana is proud to present Utopia Land featuring mixed media works by Modou Dieng Yacine. In this solo exhibition, Chicago-based artist Modou Dieng Yacine builds upon architectural imagery from New Orleans, La., and his hometown of SaintLouis, Senegal to imagine an ideal place. Utopia Land runs from July 9 – August 27, 2022, opening with a reception on July 9 from 4 – 6 p.m. CT, in conjunction with July’s New Harmony Second Saturdays. Regular gallery hours are Tuesday – Saturdays, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.. Modou Dieng Yacine’s constructive and de-constructive work in Utopia Land creates new landscapes out of colonial structures. The work in the exhibition considers two French colonial towns connected by trade routes across the Atlantic Ocean—Saint-Louis, Senegal and New Orleans, Louisiana— linked by their shared history, built environment, and cultural significance. Parallels in architectural styles—from ironwork balconies, stucco facades, and

shuttered windows—visually unite the two port cities’ shared roles in the development of the modern world. Integrated into this series are architectural and aesthetic concepts around “asymmetrical parallelism” [le parallelisme asymetrique], a term coined by African poet and philosopher Léopold Sédar Senghor. Defined as “a diversified repetition of rhythm in time and space,” Dieng Yacine reflects this conception through a painting style that utilizes both an inspired mark-making and intentional geometries. Dieng Yacine incorporates accessible materials into his paintings, such as cardboard fragments, denim pieces, vinyl records, and photographs of African objects, manufacturing a spacial occupation of an abstracted space. While developing these layered surfaces, he cuts into his canvases, removing part of the façade and revealing the form—or a hollow interior. While grounded in the histories of two physical locations, Utopia Land imagines a transcendent place that celebrates African identity and postcolonial futures.

there will be prizes for the most correct answers over the term of the contest. Multiple prizes will be awarded. The first picture is to the right today. Again, submit your answer to Zeke’s picture location to the email address above. Some of Zeke’s favorite things are swimming, baking with his mom, and being outdoors. Good luck and have fun playing. We enjoy our community and the diversity of the residents who live here.

Modou Dieng Yacine was born in Saint-Louis, Senegal. He is a multidisciplinary artist exploring the symbolic and mythological power of pop culture through mixed media and hybrid materials. His work constructs a mural of archetypal cultural imagery filtered through the perspective of a

split identity between Blackness and Western Philosophy. Dieng Yacine has exhibited internationally and is the cofounder of Blackpuffin, a curatorial company, based in Chicago, IL. Dieng Yacine holds an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute (San Francisco, CA).

THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS - PAGE A7

Road use permit for solar farm brings $5.4 million job By Lois Mittino Gray Project Manager Josh Chavez of Arevon, of Scottsdale, Arizona, appeared before the Posey County Commissioners at their June 21, meeting at the Hovey House. He presented for consideration under New Business a Proposed Transportation Plan and a Road Use Agreement submitted by Posey Solar in connection with its solar project application filed with the Posey County Area Plan Commission. “These reports are the result of three meetings of the Transportation Committee. We did good work together and had a lot of feedback from the community. We brought in highway consultants to help us with road construction plans and how to maintain them. Steve Schenk, the Posey County Highway Superintendent, helped us a lot. It is a $5.4 million project and we need to do it right.” The Road Use Agreement is to be executed no later than 90 days prior to the start of construction on the solar farm project. It states there is the possibility that the county roads, including, but not limited to the surface, base, drainage ditches, berms, bridges, culverts, drains, public tiles, driveways, and other improvements, may be damaged by the heavy equipment that the company desires to haul over the roads. Heavy equipment is defined as use of vehicles with a

gross vehicle weight in excess of 80,000 pounds or exceeding 20,000 pounds per single axle or 34,000 pounds per tandem axle and materials necessary to complete the construction of a commercial scale solar project. The Commissioners grant to the Company the non-exclusive right to use roads for use by licensed motor vehicles, without restriction as to size, weight, and volume of loads, to haul heavy equipment and other items or materials to the Project job site except, during winter months when chip and seal county roads shall be restricted to 10 tons. A $100,000 escrow agreement will be in place during construction and reduced to $50,000 post-construction. “We’ll be responsible for any repairs to county roads,” Chavez assured the Commissioners. They voted 3-0 to approve the two agreements as written and send them back to the Area Plan Commission for their final approval. EMS Director Paul Micheleti went over the three submitted quotes for a used ambulance. The one involved in the May 25 accident was declared a total loss. “There are three types of styles here. One of them is for almost a brand-new ambulance. Two others are remounts,” he described. He recommended to buy an E45023 on McCoy Miller Box for $154,000. The price includes all the shipping. The other

lower price one had to be rewrapped and redone and would have cost even more. In the interim, they will borrow an ambulance from Gibson County. In other Commissioner action: • They approved a contract with the Health Department nurse for July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023. It is similar to one already in place and was readily approved. • Posey County Sheriff Tom Latham read these figures on incarcerated inmates: 36 are from Vanderburgh County, 18 from the Department of Corrections and 81 from Posey County for a total jail population of 135 inmates as of that day. He also led the prayer for the day’s meeting. • Clyde Guthrie, Sanitary Board of Bellefontaine Cemetery, requested county help to put a culvert in at the entrance to the cemetery. Steve Shenk said the county will be glad to do the work if the cemetery purchases the pipe. Guthrie said he was grateful for county help. • ”Marrs Township Trustees want us to take over maintenance of the cemeteries, but that is not possible. It is clearly stated that it is their responsibility. We’ll defer it back to them for maintenance,” Commissioner President Bill Collins said. “They used to have it in their budget as an item and it is their responsibility.”

Women’s Fund of Posey County awards grants to 13 groups The Women’s Fund, held by the Posey County Community Foundation, is pleased to announce that grants totaling $19,327 were awarded to thirteen organizations. “Since the fund was established 18 years ago, grants to local organizations annually support programs and services that improve the quality of life for Posey County families,” says Amy Smith, Regional Director of Community Engagement and Impact. “The Women’s Fund addresses the changing needs and priorities in Posey County through a competitive grant cycle.” The Women’s Fund Grants Selection Committee reviewed funding requests and contacted grant applicants for an interview. Once interviews concluded, the Steering Committee made recommendations on funding to the Community Foundation. “Without donors, these grants would not be awarded,” says Dianna Simkins, chair of the Women’s Fund Steering Committee. “The Women’s Fund makes it possible for many members of the community to pool resources to significantly impact our community in a positive way.” For more information about the Women’s Fund of Posey County, contact Amy Smith, Regional Director of Community Engagement and Impact, asmith@communityfoundationalliance.org, or call 812-838-0288.

‘Poseyville’ continued from Page A1 Certified Operator of the wastewater plant Jeremy Farrar stated, “Components are aging. The blower is over 17 years old and others have out-lived their life expectancy. The control panel that controls those blowers have deteriorated to the point as Mike commented, that we are running into OSHA violations potentially to meet our needs.” All grant information is available at the Town Hall or you can contact Andy Zellers at azellers@evvregion.com. Baehl added that since the town was not successful in obtaining the grant in the fall, the project pricetag has increased by $500,000 due to material costs and supply chain issues, making it extremely important that the grant is received this go around. Mindy Bourne was present representing the Area Plan on a rezoning proposal for Peter Patel, owner of One Stop Express, 75 Cynthiana Road in Poseyville. Patel wishes to change the portions of the property (the back parking lot: address 76 Highway 68) from zoned R-3 to zoned B-2, which is Commercial General. Patel wishes to combine the existing lots into a single entity and expand the property and was unaware that it was zoned residential at the time of purchase. Bourne noted the Area Plan Commission met June 9 and approved the zoning changes. Board approval was given. The council voted unanimously to continue Zoom meeting for another year. Foster explained the state board of accounts has regulations that have to be followed for zoom meetings - such as sign-in sheets and roll call votes. “Anyone that is attending via zoom must be identified for the records,” she stated. “We cannot have a fictitious number or name in the records for identification for individuals attending via zoom.” In other board actions: • Weed and grass violations are being addressed by Town Marshall Charles Carter as there are concerns on properties that are overgrown. He shared that donations that were used for mowing grass last year have not been received this year, therefore no funds are available. There are primarily two properties with major concerns, which are banded properties (no residence on property) and chemicals cannot be used without owner permission.

Carter also spoke on complaints of door-to-door solicitation. “We are on an Interstate so we do get this from time to time. There is a Town Ordinance requiring registration. They are required to have a green card on them that shows they have registered at the town hall, he shared. “Ask for that card if they come knocking at your door. Do not invite them in.” • Two Receipt Tax Ordinances were read by Diana Powell and an explanation given that water and gas rates will decrease slightly. The slight reductions will appear on August billing. • Farrar provided documentation to the board recommending KLM, due to cost and inspection quotes, for inspection of the water tower. The tower was inspected in March by the EPA and was noted the five-year town inspection had not been performed yet. No write-up was given. The recommendation was approved. • Approval was given as Farrar requested $3,570 for instrumentation and installation of a new alert system in case a regulator fails for natural gas due to a state law change. The new Gas regulatory instrumentation also comes with a $30 monthly fee. • Foster reported the town received money for the park shelter flooring at a reception held by the Women’s Fund Grant from the Community Foundation. The $2,475 received will allow the town to put concrete in the new shelter. Baehl commented there is an Eagle Scout who might be interested in helping finish the shelter. • A 67-page document was presented to the board by Fire Chief Austin Ahrens on the final specs for a new fire truck, preparing for the bid process. Sealed bids will be advertised in The Posey County News and accepted until 4 p.m., July 19. All bids should be mailed to the Town Hall. • The community is once again reminded to not blow grass clipping in the street as this presents not only a driving hazard, but also a sewer drain hazard. • The next meeting of the Poseyville Town Council will be held Tuesday, July 12, 2022 at 5:30 p.m., and will be an in person and virtual meeting.

‘Works Board’ continued from Page A1 couple of weeks and open in a month. City Attorney Beth Higgins asked about a grease receptacle currently placed near the restaurant outdoor sign. Cisneros would like to relocate it to where the dumpster will be and clean the whole front façade up. Board member Andy Hoehn made a motion to en-

ter a lease agreement with the owner to allow the relocation of the grease receptacle/trash dumpster on city property. Cisneros needs to put a fence up so it will not be a visible eyesore. There will be a token lease agreement, with a 30 day termination notice on each side, and a fee of $2/ week. The concrete pad and

WMI News by Shannon Delap Two hundred fortysix years ago the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence. Just two days prior on July 2, 1776 Richard Henry Lee of Virginia proposed a resolution “that these united colonies are and of right ought to be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown; and that all political connection between them and the States of Great Britain is and ought to be totally dissolved.” It was then Thomas Jefferson was given the task of preparing and finalizing the resolution known as the” Declaration of Independence” and thus Independence Day was born. Many communities around the country have adopted a community celebration with fireworks and picnics to honor our independence. New Harmony is no exception. The New Harmony Independence Day Celebration is a long-standing tradition. We have had numerous speakers over the years, and it has led me to wonder when this annual celebration was first established. Being I sit at the helm of the towns historical information it was not hard for me to locate information. The earliest record I found indicates the first speaker was Robert Owen. He presented his address on July 4, 1826. There are several gaps in the records, and some even indicate that there

was a patriotic program but no speaker. The largest gap in record was between 1861-1920. Some other names on the list were Frances Wright (1828), Robert Dale Owen (1838) and Richard Owen (1859). There were many varying locations for these speeches. Robert Owen and Frances Wright gave there addresses at Harmony Hall. The most interesting location to me was David Dale Owen giving his in the laboratory. The Women’s Library Club was an early sponsor and organizer of the event. In recent years, the Friends of the Working Men’s Institute has proudly sponsored the event. This year’s event was held Monday July 4, 2022 at Murphy Auditorium. Tom Stahl read the Declaration of Independence. The Keynote Speaker was Kent Schuette with music provided by the Community Choir. A golf cart parade was held at 11 a.m. with a community picnic at Maclure park immediately after the golf cart parade. Music at the picnic was provided by Bob Minnette and The Dixieland Society. Upcoming at the WMI: Kiwanis Story Time will be held July 27 and 28 at 6:30 p.m. Ann Rains will read Wynken, Blynken and Nod by Eugene Field. Please call us at 812-682-4806 or e-mail librarian@workingmensinstitute.org to register your child for this event.

fencing is to be installed at users cost. The board voted unanimously to enter the agreement, contingent on the fact that the city trash truck must be able to fit into the area to make the pickup. Hoehn welcomed Cisneros and voiced, “I like when someone brings a new business in to town.” Curtis agreed and noted this “will make Fourth Street look a lor better.” Board member David Dodd stated he agrees with all of it. Cisneros said he is taking out three parking spots for the new patio on the west side of the building by the carwash. The fourth spot nearest to the car wash will stay empty. “That’s good,” Hoehn joked. “The mist off the car wash could be a problem for outdoor diners.” Tonya McDaniel also appeared before the board to represent the United Way. The agency plans to have an Open House/Campaign Kickoff on Wednesday, August 3 from 3 to 6 p.m. Their new building is located at 215 South Kimball, and they would like permission to block the intersection of Kimball and Sycamore sStreets during those times. Street Commissioner Max Dieterle suggested blocking Kimball Street from Sycamore to Bluff and it was approved. The Mayor will contact Southwind Port so semi haulers can be notified of the blockage.

In department reports: • Acting Police Captain Corbin Sellers reported, since the last meeting, there were seven car accidents; nine animal complaints; and 36 traffic offenses; with a total of 194 calls. He continued that he received seven applications for the two open officer positions and a couple of them look “pretty good.” He suggested a tentative date for interviews with board members as Wednesday, July 27, at 4 p.m. at the Public Safety Building, in the Education Room. Captain Sellers concluded his report by stating newly hired officer, Zach Adkins, starts his academy studies next week and he should be on the road by January. • Fire Chief Wes Dixon said, since the last meeting, his department took 28 calls. One was a car accident; four were fire calls; and some were for downed power lines. The rest were medical runs. • Gene Carroll, filling in for Chuck Gray, reported that the sewer department,

since the last meeting, has flushed 6,971 feet of main. They worked on the leaking manhole in the “swamp area” of Country Club Estates. He added the problem is now sealed from the inside and not leaking. They are still using the camera to inspect lines in that area. They are also working on the main line between Country Club Road and the sewer plant. He concluded his report by stating so far this year, Russell’s hauled out 51 loads of dry sludge. • Dieterle stated, since the last meeting, his crews worked 19 extra trash pickups generating $660; hauled 98 tons of trash to the landfill; and mowed one yard that was in violation. • Dodd moved the IBM Selectric typewriter and the old phones be declared scrap. Curtis said, “the typewriter was a fantastic piece of equipment in its day, but we can’t even get parts for it anymore.” The motion carried unanimously.

The schgedule for the musinc festival is as follows: Wednesday, July 13 !2:15 p.m. Pop-up Concert at The Contemporary Gallery, 506 Main St. New Harmony. This Harmonie Society music sampler features Eugene Friesen, cello and singer/guitarist Elizabeth Rogers. In 2021, Friesen, Rogers and 2 friends produced a CD entitled “In Harmony”, a captivating compendium of “reimagined”, almost mystical, music from the three Rappite communes in Harmony, PA, New Harmony, IN, and Economy, PA. Their quartet, inspired by the acoustics of various harmonist structures, chose to record their “harmonist music for today” in the arched brick wine cellar located in Harmony, The full program will be held in the lobby of the Historic New Harmony Atheneum, Saturday evening, July 16. 7 p.m.: Open Style Jam & Song Sharing (for festival artists, singers and local acoustic musicians) at Sara’s Harmonie Way, 500 Church St. New Harmony, IN. Each year the festival enjoys welcoming local musicians of all styles to “join-in” at this annual roundrobin evening of musical sharing. The jam is hosted by members of this year’s festival artist line-up. All musicians are kindly asked to respect our “taking turns” policy throughout the course of the evening. We also ask that musicians and casual listeners alike please

take note, quiet-down, and give-ear, if a solo singer is performing a song. Thursday, July 14 12:15 p.m.: Pop-up Concert at New Harmony Soap, 512 Main St. New Harmony. Featured: Original folk-style instrumentals and “en-ticing” songs with award-winning Nashville singer-songwriter and fingerpicked guitarist, Jordan Tice.

Traditional music and songs from Appalachia to Ireland to Scotland, Spain and elsewhere. Returning artist Martha Waldvogel joins Jordan Tice (also a NHMF&S veteran) and long-time musical pal, Christopher Layer on a variety of bagpipes, exotic winds and bassoon, as well as friends, new and old. Friday, July 15 12:15 p.m.Pop-up Concert at the Workingmen’s Institute Library, 407 Tavern St. New Harmony. Festival Solo Roundtable: Our festival artists take a “music circle” approach; each artist sharing solo pieces or songs, and perhaps some stories to go with the pieces they choose. 7:30 p.m. American Songlines at The Murphy Auditorium, 419 Tavern St. New Harmony. Festival pianist, guitarist and singer Ben Waldvogel, literally “takes center stage” at the Murphy as audience members will be seated ONSTAGE (a festival first!) for an up-

close and personal musical experience along with fellow festival artists. This fine young musician is sure to please those with rock and roll souls or New Orleans roots. Toes will be tapping! Saturday, July 16 2 p.m. Pop-up Concert & Open Rehearsal at the Historic New Harmony Atheneum (Atrium), 401 Arthur St. New Harmony. Festival fans are invited to “hang-out” at the Atheneum as our festival artists, led by cellist Eugene Friesen and singer Elizabeth Rogers, prepare and rehearse pieces for our evening Program in the Atheneum. There is sure to be some spontaneous “music fun” as well! 8 p.m. In Harmony: Harmonist Music For Our Time at the Historic New Harmony Atheneum Atrium, 401 Arthur St. New Harmony. This diverse program of “reimagined” Harmonist musics (many dating to the early 19th Century) was conceived by 4x Grammy Award winning cellist, Eugene Friesen, as a part of a series of concerts to be given in

each of the three Harmonist commune locations: Harmony, Pa, New Harmony, Ind., and Economy, Pa. Simple folk tunes become arabesques of improvised wind and string lines, while Elizabeth Rogers’ pure clear voice refreshes and stirs our musical heartstrings like an evening dew, settling on a Harmonist rose. The music festival, and its parent org, The New Harmony Artist’s Guild Inc., appreciates the Robert Lee Blaffer Foundation for their constant support and patronage of the Guild and its annual projects. We would like to extend a very special thank-you to Andrew Orient, of Historic Harmony (Pennsylvania), for the diligence and support he invested in order to bring the “In Harmony” project to life and to New Harmony. The group is particularly grattttttttteful to Claire Eagle and Christine Crews of Historic New Harmony (Indiana) and the USI, not only for their ongoing support of local cultural programming, but also for providing three of the concert venues this week, artist housing, and important technical and travel support during this 2022 festival week.

‘Expressions in Harmony’ closing reception part of Second Saturday Second Saturday activities in New Harmony on July 9 will include the closing reception of the “Expressions in Harmony” exhibition in the Hoosier Salon gallery which features the artwork of JoAnne Burkhard, Steve Dawson, and Lori Rivera. The reception is from 4-6 p.m., and will include the artwork from both Children’s art activities this summer. Art Day Camp for children ages seven to nine, these students learned about weaving and created a pizza with clay; and Watercolor Workshop for the children age 10-15. They learned several techniques with watercolor, using dry brush, salt, rubbing alcohol, a straw to move the paint, and plastic wrap to make a look of texture. They created art that was “All About Me” (them) using many symbols mainly their favorites. Jo Anne Burkhard, is a storyteller. her goal, as a visual artist, is to draw or paint a narrative that pulls the viewer in and leaves them curious, moved or delighted. “I am frequently governed by inner muses who pull me in the direction they want me to go”, says Burkhard. They are varied selves, such as a playful 12-yearold girl who sees everything as possible, a jokester, a contemplative, and a nature lover. Her experience as a psychotherapist also plays a role in her art as she focuses on relationships between others, the environment, or even our own inner parts. Burkhard’s main challenge lies in finding the best path and tools for expressing that story. It may include anything from pencil to oils and may include dabbling in watercolor and pastels. Whichever medium she uses, she continues to search for the best composition, color, stroke and style to best convey the tale that needs to be told. Jo Anne Burkhard is an award-winning Midwest artist who lives in Indianapolis, Ind. She was inspired from an early age by the works of artists such as Norman Rockwell and John Singer Sargent. After raising a family she began taking classes from nationally known figure painters such as Robert Liberace, Juliette Aristides and others. Her artwork consists of both drawings and oil paintings, which focus on storytelling and figurative work. Her work has been accepted in juried shows including Hoosier Salon, Indiana Heritage Arts, the Richmond Art Museum, Indiana Artists Club, and Cincinnati Viewpoint. She is a member of the Indiana Artists Club, Inc., Indiana Heritage Arts and Hoosier Salon. Steve Dawson is an artists from Bloomington, Indiana. He says, “Life is a blank canvas – throw all the paint on it that you can” Dawson primarily paints the landscape from life. This combines two passions – his love of the outdoors with his desire to capture the essence of a scene in a sketch or painting. He uses oils, gouache, acrylic, watercolor, and pastels. He has sold paintings to collectors in 23 states from California to New York. Robert Henri said, “There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond the usual. Such are the moments of our greatest happiness. Such are the moments of our greatest wisdom. If one could but recall his vision by some sort of sign. It was in this hope that the arts were invented. Signposts on the way to what may be. Signposts toward greater knowledge.” Dawson has won many various awards. Come to gallery to read his full biography. Lori Rivera says that creating art has improved her life more than she ever could have imagined. Painting not only helps her with her mood, but she also uses it as a tool to bring happiness to others. Past experiences with depression have given her a unique perspective on life. Through these experiences she has learned to treasure joy and her goal, through painting, is to elicit feelings of delight in the viewer. Rivera’s focus is to paint objects that bring people great pleasure, including flowers, sweet treats, cats, and coffee. In recent works, she has painted scenes that represent others’

hobbies and professions. She strongly believes that our careers and how we spend our free time largely influences our state of mind. Capturing life’s happy moments brings her great joy. Currently she paints with acrylic on a variety of surfaces, including canvas, wood, and hardboard panels. She live in Evansville, Indiana from her home studio, where she creates both abstract and figurative paintings. Her work is typically colorful and vibrant with a cheery and fun vibe. Drawing fascinated her during middle school and to further her fascination, she continued taking art classes in high school. Although art school was an option, her life direction changed

when she enrolled in college and signed up for business classes. After a long absence from creating art, she picked up a paintbrush again in early adulthood where she rediscovered her love of creating. Later, she had the opportunity to sit in on a couple community art classes and was inspired to create art again. Taking a leap of faith, she left her day job to venture into being fully devoted to painting. The gallery is located on 507 Church Street and the regular hours are Thursday and Sunday from 1-4 p.m, Saturday and Sunday from 12-4 p.m. or by appointment, please call Linda Volz the Gallery director at 812-682-3970.

The Golden Rose of Mount Vernon to open its pink door soon By Pam Robinson “Here we grow again” is the motto for the new floral and gift shop coming soon to 601 East Fourth Street in Mount Vernon. Mother-daughter team, Amanda Hamilton and Addie Robinson, plan to open the statement pink door at their second location in six to eight weeks. The new Golden Rose of Mount Vernon will be the companion store to the Golden Rose and Events of Harmony at 612 Main Street in New Harmony. Hamilton and Robinson knew the timing was right to lease the Mount Vernon shop and expand their business, a dream for months. The building had recently been remodeled by Angela and Nathan Davis of Davis Properties, LLC. It faces Wildcat Wash across the street to the south. “So often people say, ‘I wish you’d open a shop in Mount Vernon,” states Hamilton. “It’s on the way in and out of town and convenient for those working in Evansville.” All Mount Vernon residents will enjoy the convenience of this shop on the main drag in town. Hamilton and her daughter appreciate the opportunity to fill the void left when Mount Vernon Flower Shop closed right as they purchased the Golden Rose in New Harmony nearly two years ago. Robinson had worked in the New Harmony shop until the previous owner retired. The then 19-year-old floral designer had been pleased to start her career in familiar surroundings and to serve the New Harmony area she’d grown to love. She and her mom will bring their expertise with fresh floral arrangements and gifts home now. Mount Vernon natives, they will set up the Mount Vernon storefront to match the one in New Harmony. “We will offer fresh floral and gifts for bereavement, birthdays, anniversaries, and more special occasions,” Hamilton states. “We will provide fresh floral arrange-

ments with flowers available. Special order arrangements, we can have in a day,” Robinson adds. The fresh floral arrangements and gifts will be pick up

From L to R, mother-daughter team Amanda Hamilton and Addie Robinson stand in front of the pink door leading to their second floral and gift shop location opening in six to eight weeks at 601 East Fourth Street in Mount Vernon. The Golden Rose of Mount Vernon will offer fresh floral arrangements and gifts for special occasions. Photo submitted and purchase only to start. The co-owners plan to provide delivery as business builds. They stress the Golden Rose of Mount Vernon will nev-

er eclipse the Golden Rose and Events of Harmony. Instead, the new addition will complement the long-standing shop in New Harmony. “I love floral and fresh flowers,” says Robinson. “I have grown to love events, and I love meeting new people.” Hamilton and Robinson agree their wedding clients melt their hearts and become like family. “We cry at weddings,” Hamilton admits. “I literally love brides like they are my children. We get to know them so well after spending the weekend with them.” Noting New Harmony offers approximately 15 beautiful wedding venues, Robinson encourages a visit to her shop now for a free consultation with 2023 brides. The Golden Rose and Events of Harmony is already booking 2023 weddings. Their challenge is, Hamilton states, their work schedule. “It’s just hard because weddings are on weekends and the flower shop is open all week. So we work seven days a week,” she says. The staff, family, and community strengthen them to meet the challenge. “We are so thankful for our current staff and family and the community support. I’m thankful for the overwhelming support of a small family business from New Harmony and Mount Vernon both.” Hours at the Golden Rose and Events of Harmony are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday. Those needing fresh floral arrangements may call (812) 682-5027. The Golden Rose of Mount Vernon will keep its own hours and give out its own phone number soon. As people travel down Fourth Street in Mount Vernon, Robinson says, “They should look for the pink door.” Pink has long been the signature color for her, our granddaughter. She also knows a golden opportunity when she sees one.

Pickleball is all the rage, now available in New Harmony By Lois Mittino Gray It’s touted as “America’s Fastest Growing Sport” and it’s now come to New Harmony. Pickleball is the rage among young and old alike who want to get an aerobic workout with less of the strain required for traditional net games such as racquetball and tennis. With the sponsorship of the New Harmony Kiwanis Club, a pickleball net on moveable wheels was set up this spring on the New Harmony Inn’s tennis courts, located on North Street near the old train depot. The net is shorter and less wide than the remaining standard tennis court net on its left. There is a mailbox alongside the net with four paddles and two balls for anyone wishing to pickle play. “Around midwinter, club members talked about putting Pickleball in and thought about Murphy Park. The Parks Board liked the idea and the club bought a net on moveable wheels. The board wanted something a little more permanently placed though, so we shopped around for another site,” explained Ken Back, President of the local Kiwanis Club. “I called Red Geranium Enterprises and pitched the idea to the office manager to put one on half of their court and she was very interested. She called me back right away with approval,” he said. Office Manager Tracy Burks has never played pickleball,

but she knew it was getting popular with her clientele. “I thought why not try it and see how it goes. We gave them the okay to install the net and mailbox with the equipment in it this spring. I know it is being used by guests, but I don’t know how much. The townspeople can use it, too, anytime they like,” Burks said. The game was first thought up by a congressman from Washington, State Representative Joel Pritchard in 1965. By 1967, there was a permanent court set up in his neighbor’s back yard. From there, it skyrocketed in popularity with all sorts of venues, books, magazines, podcasts and even a Pickleball Hall of Fame. Currently, the sport of pickleball is exploding around the world. There are now nearly 8,500 locations on the USA Pickleball’s Places2Play map. The spread of the sport is attributed to its popularity within community centers, PE classes, YMCA facilities and retirement communities. The sport continues to grow worldwide as well, with many new international clubs forming and national governing bodies now established on multiple continents. “It’s not just for retirees anymore. I have played it a couple of times and enjoyed it,” Backs enthused. Find yourself in a pickle for something to do with your visiting guests? Try Pickleball.

A pickleball court is around the same size as a doubles badminton court and measures 44 feet long (inclusive of lines) and 20 feet wide (inclusive of lines). The net height is 36 inches high at the sidelines and 34 inches high in the middle.

Reserved hunt applications now open under new system Beginning July 1, hunters can apply for a variety of reserved hunts online by visiting on.IN.gov/reservedhunt. This year, instead of one application period for all draws, they are split into a few different date windows. The reason for the change is to help hunters more easily plan for their hunts and thereby increase the number of hunters able to participate. The online method is the only way to apply for the hunts listed below. No late entries will be accepted. Applicants must possess a hunting license that is valid for the hunt for which they are applying. Hunters will be selected through a random computerized drawing. Applicants will be able to view draw results online within two weeks after the application period has closed. An email will be sent to all applicants when draws have been completed. Applications for the following hunting opportunities open July 1. Applications must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. ET on Aug. 1: Dove Hunts: Applicants may select the desired date and property.
