Castlen to bring facility here By Trisha L. Lopez Posey County Council voted to approve a three year real property tax abatement for a Kentucky-based company looking to add a riverfront facility in Mount Vernon at Tuesday’s meeting at Hovey House. Matt Castlen, owner of Castlen Enterprises LLC., told members that the $9.45 million 1000 S Old Highway 69 location would be the company’s third facility and add to its distribution network in Owensboro and Bowling Green, Ky., at the June council meeting. The project will bring six full time and two part time jobs upon completion at an average hourly rate of $20 for full time workers and $17 for part time workers. No one spoke for or against the project during the public portion of the hearing on Tuesday. A company representative said that “we look forward to being here” and said that they are “30 days closer to coming over.” In new business, council approved an additional for $49,529 to cover vaccine administration costs split with Deaconess Hospital. Donnie Martin, head of the Posey County Health Department, told members that “Covid Selected queens of the four pageants held on Saturday evening at the Posey County appears to be rearing its ugly head again in the Fair are, left to right, Kyra Rainey, Jenna Veatch, Olive Muller, and Karter Lynn Green. county.” “We don’t have really good numbers bePhoto by Dave Pearce

I know for certain that it hit our office pretty severely,” Martin said, explaining that several staff members have been out with the virus. “Just be aware.” He said the office has a significant amount of home tests available. He said most positive cases have presented with “somewhat mild” symptoms thanks to vaccines and boosters. He urged residents to be careful with the fair approaching and said that no mask or social distancing mandates have been issued. Additionals were also approved for the prosecutor, Emergency Medical Services and the highway department. Posey County Sheriff Tom Latham told members that the jail currently houses 38 Vanderburgh inmates, 17 Department of Correction inmates and 87 Posey County inmates. June billing for Vanderburgh County was $44,550. Council President Heather Allyn asked Latham about possible changes to DOC numbers. “We had a change in law.

By Trisha L. Lopez A rainy Saturday morning gave way to a sunny and warm day for the more than 80 riders participating in the first annual Mount Vernon M-Club All In Point Poker Run in southern Posey County. The M-Club, a group of Mount Vernon alumni and former athletes developed to support Wildcats athletics, planned the event to help cover the cost of summer athletic camps for Mount Vernon youth. “It is the desire of the Mount Vernon M-Club to garner enough funding to provide every student in the Mount Vernon School District the ability to attend the high school summer athletic camps of their choice…completely free of

charge,” according to the group’s event flier. “This effort is to remove the potential financial barrier to the students and families of the Mount Vernon community while providing healthy and safe activities for student involvement in the summer.” Ashton Wagner, Mount Vernon track coach and event volunteer, said summer camps are important to build community relationships and support kids. “By building those relationships early on, our teams grow in the culture we want to bring to our community through athletics. Sports camps help to give kids the tools to develop

Lopez The inaugural Dog Days of Summer event hosted by Newlife Rescue and Adoption drew crowds as animal lovers traveled to Brittlebank Park in Mount Vernon on Saturday to raise funds for Posey County’s homeless animals. Attendees were treated to demonstrations by Posey County Deputy Chris McKinney and his K9 partner Basco, trainer Josh Jones with Alpha K9 Handling, agility trainer Shelby Buono, face painting and treats by 3 Chicks Fudgery and D&T Treats. Adoptable dogs from PC Pound Puppies were on hand. Tables were set up for microchipping and education about heartworm prevention and the importance of spaying and neutering pets.

pet friendly services for area residents. “We thought it would be fun for the local community,” Steinhart said. “Obviously we want to raise money. We are looking to build a building that will house Posey Humane and PC Pound Puppies that will become our New Life rescue and Adoption. We have a lot of fundraising to do. But this event is more about trying to get the word out about what we are trying to do as a community, with our two groups.” Mike Harshbarger of Mount Vernon said he attended the event to support the Posey Humane Society and PC Pound Puppies as they merge into one organization and build their new facility. “We’re animal lovers. We adopted a cat recently. We’re trying to support the community and do what

Brittney Griner – Let’s all stay out of Russia

M V B D . G M

Brittney Griner is an American basketball star on trial in a courtroom outside of Moscow. She is a prisoner of Russia and is facing a possible

prison sentence on drug charges. Griner recently pled guilty after Russian authorities accused her of having a vape cartridge with hashish oil in her luggage at an airport near Moscow on February 17, 2022. The guilty plea could potentially accelerate her case’s conclusion, clearing a path for either a deal with the United States to free her or, perhaps, a request for clemency. The harshest outcome could be a 10-year sentence in a Russian penal colony despite the contention by Griner’s lawyers that she packed the smoking cartridges by mistake. Brittney Griner is an American professional basketball player for the Phoenix Mercury of the Women’s National Basketball Association, WNBA. She played College basket-

ball for the Baylor Lady Bears in Waco Texas. She is the only NCAA basketball player to both score 2,000 points and block 500 shots. In 2012, the three-time All American was named the AP Player of the Year and the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four. In 2009, Griner was named the nation’s No. 1 high school women’s basketball player by Rivals.com. In 2013, Griner signed an endorsement deal with Nike. She is 6 ft 9 inches tall and wears a men’s U.S. size 17 shoe. Griner was on the United States women’s Olympic team in 2016, and led them to victory at the Rio Olympics. In 2020, Griner protested the Star-Spangled Banner and stated she wouldn’t be on the court while the national anthem was played during game openers. In 2021, Griner was named to the United States women’s national team for the 2020 Olympics where she won her second gold medal. (Wikipedia) Griner is one of 11 women to receive an Olympic gold medal, an NCAA championship, a FIBA World Cup gold medal and a WNBA championship.

In February 2022, Griner was detained by Russian Customs after cartridges containing hashish was found in her luggage. She had been entering Russia to play with the Russia Premier League during the WNBA oﬀseason. Her trial began on July 1, and she pled guilty to the charges. Paul Whelan is another American citizen currently held as a prisoner in Russia. On June 15, 2020 he received a 16-year prison sentence with the possibility of time in a labor camp. He is described as a corporate security director. There is conversation that a prisoner swap could be a possibility for freeing Griner and Whelan. Most Americans are not excited about releasing a dangerous criminal. However, we are prayerful that something will be worked out for Griner and Whelan’s release. I would hope all Americans might consider staying out of Russia. The prospects of any ﬁnancial reward or seeing new geography are not worth the consequences.

Letter to the Editor Inotiv should be ashamed This is regarding Inotiv, the animal testing facility located in Posey County at 10424 Middle Mount Vernon Road, Mount Vernon, Ind., that has been accused of breaking federal law in the fatal abuse of monkeys and pigs. It seems that Inotiv has been trying to keep a very low profile in the community, and I can understand why, because they should be ashamed of what their company stands for... animal neglect, abuse and mutilation. There is no reason for any animal, be it a dog, cat, monkey, pig, rat, etc., to have unnecessary pain inflicted on it daily for weeks, months and sometimes even years on unnecessary tests. The lucky animals in the labs are the ones who die on the first day. If an individual in the community did to an animal what is being done in a testing lab, they would be arrested and prosecuted for animal cruelty. Are the workers in these labs people who think they are doing good for mankind, sadistic people who enjoy inflicting pain on animals or people just doing it for the money? Probably some of each. Although many people may disagree and hate what the lab workers are doing, these people need your prayers for God to change their hearts and minds. The innocent animals also need

your prayers for God to lessen their pain and free them from their horrible existence. The argument these companies have is they are doing this to save human lives but according to the National Institutes of Health, 95 per cent of drugs tested on animals ultimately fail in human trials. Numerous drugs and substances that have been tested on animals have shown no ill effects, however; they have been found to be harmful or deadly to humans. Examples are: poisonous mushrooms, safe for rabbits; arsenic, safe for sheep; and cyanide, safe for owls. Another wellknown drug that you may have heard about is thalidomide that showed no adverse effects on animals during testing but had disastrous, horrific effects on humans. It caused numerous and mulT tiple birth defects in human infants (babies born without limbs or born blind, etc.) af As a kid I didn’t get ter it was prescribed to pregS inducted into honor sonant women. ciety much less make the Look at your own pets.

Help for Hoosier homeowners facing foreclosure

Indiana steps up, helps local communities improve health 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. 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. Improving public health continues to be a top priority, and it’s great to see Indiana step up to help local communities tackle issues to improve Hoosiers’ health and quality of life.

mind that seems to corrupt people. I’ve been motivated by mastery. Mastering skills, using my brain and my hands… and by doing things well. I think that’s what makes a guy useful and in high demand, which is far more important. Be the “go to person” for everything. Don’t be afraid to break a sweat and dig a ditch, or be to proud to sweep the ﬂoor. Be dependable, reliable and honest and you’ll be in high demand. So, a shout out to all those who didn’t make the honor roll, to those who weren’t meant to sit at a desk all day, and to those of you who learned to work with your hands. We may not make millions… but we will never go hungry. My advice to all the younger people… just focus on mastering the art of being reliable, learn good work ethic and above all be honest.

Due to the economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, many homeowners fell behind on their mortgages or slipped into financial hardship in order to make payments. To help Hoosiers avoid displacement and foreclosure, forgivable loans are available through the Indiana Homeowner Assistance Fund. Funded fully by federal dollars, the IHAF can help cover overdue mortgage payments for eligible homeowners. Help is also available for payments on property taxes, insurance and homeowner fees. Once approved, funding goes directly to the mortgage loan servicer. To qualify for the IHAF, applicants must live in a single-family home, a condominium, a two three - or four - family dwelling, or a home permanently affixed to real property. Applicants must also have experienced financial hardship because of the COVID-19 pandemic, like job loss or familial care. Applicants must also meet the program’s income limits. Hoosier families who need help are encouraged to apply at www.877gethope.org. If you or someone you know is struggling, dial 211 to get help paying bills, finding food or locating other resources close to home.

The briar patch

Joel Chandler Harris, AKA Joe Harris B (1848-1908), was born J J in the state of Georgia before the Civil War R and worked on a slaveholding plantation as a teenager. After the war he became an associate editor at The Atlanta Constitution newspaper. Harris had lived and worked around the evils of slavery and he had absorbed the folk wisdom of slaves who were prohibited by law from formal education. Harris created his fictional writings using Uncle Remus as a wise and shrewd observer of human nature hidden within animal behavior. Harris intended his writings as compliments to the ability of Uncle Remus to explain human foibles by giving animals human failings such as arrogance. In the story of Br’er Rabbit and Br’er Fox contained in Harris’ Uncle Remus: His Songs and His Sayings, the meanness of the Fox is used by the Rabbit to escape by getting the Fox to “punish” the Rabbit by throwing him into a briar patch. Of course, that is exactly what the Rabbit really wanted. Unfortunately, due to our current misguided wokeness in many areas, the slave dialect used by Harris now interferes with the appreciation of the literature of The Song of the South and a great number of those pro-African American

folk tales are no longer read. However, for those of us whose time of birth helped us escape the ravages of the current misguided ignorance in the area of children’s literature, Uncle Remus is still imparting wisdom, such as enjoying a proverbial briar patch. Or in my case, Peg’s banishment of me to the solitude of our bunkhouse when I got COVID and Peg did not. At first, I was offended when Peg handed me my toothbrush and a set of clean underwear and locked our cabin door behind me after she forcefully shut it. It was not that I wanted Peg to share in my experience of a sore throat, lethargy and endless amounts of crud being expelled from my body. It was more the feeling that a one-person leper colony was a rather lonely possibility, plus I really missed my favorite recliner and ready access to the refrigerator. Oh, and Peg too, of course. Be that as it may, Peg sentenced me to two weeks of quarantine with the same lack of ceremony she would have exhibited if a door-to-door encyclopedia salesman had appeared with a sample case. You remember encyclopedias don’t you, Gentle Reader? You know, those things with pages, tables of contents and indexes that went the way of the dodo bird after Google came along. Well, that may call for a different column. Anyway, here I am alone with the piles of books I never read, the piano I used to play and old photographs of friends

and relatives I barely recognize. I have been rummaging through boxes and drawers filled with the most interesting stuff not seen by me since high school. What a strange looking dude I was with dark colored hair and a discernible jaw line. Who was that and who are those undecipherable young people around him wearing weird clothes? Say, Peg, what is this thing that says Maytag on it? Is this where my clean clothes came from? It must be a miracle machine. How does it operate? By the way, there is no stove out here and after several days of eating the leftovers you sent with me, I am ready for some real food. By the way, I have done my Paxlovid and am pretty sure I am not Typhoid Mary anymore. On the other hand, the bunkhouse refrigerator is stocked with leftover beer from our Fourth of July Family Reunion and the TV is constantly tuned to Gunsmoke reruns. The bunkhouse is the answer to every boy’s escape from his mother and every husband’s escape from constant inspection by his wife. Clothes are in a pile where I take them off. The bed never has to be made to drill sergeant standards and every door knob and chair back is a hanger. But the most serendipitous of all? Peg is afraid to step foot in my little slice of heaven. I may claim to be eternally toxic. Bring on that Briar Patch. For more Gavel Gamut articles go to www.jamesmredwine. com. Or “Like/Follow” us on Facebook & Twitter at JPegOsageRanch

enterprise. This new modern building of brick and Bedford stone will not only meet the needs of the growing congregation but will also be a decided civic improvement as well. The new location is on the large and beautiful corner lot at the intersection of Seventh and College Avenue, only one block from Main Street. It is to have about ten rooms for Sunday School, two robing rooms for the choir, one nursery room, a pastor’s study, a kitchen, and a large basement. Upon being approached for donations, bear in mind the ﬁfty years of actual service this church has rendered to the community as a factor in the molding of the moral and religious life of this city. The church was organized in the Presbyterian Church in this city April 27, 1873, by Revends Jacob Speer, T. Strain, and Wilson Blackburn. After being duly organized, Rev. W. Blackburn was chosen pastor. The following were the organizing members: Daniel and Carolyn Miller, Alfred and Mary Moore, John and Emma Topper, Charles and Lucinda Garber, Robert Gowdy, Mrs. Marie Blackburn, and Sarah Withrow. It is hoped that work on the new building may begin very soon

after the financial campaign closes. Rev. Reich is the present Pastor. Thieves Rob Box Cars In Yards Of L&N - Three box cars in the yards of the L&N Railroad Company here were broken in by thieves early Monday morning but little of value was taken. The cars were all filled with merchandise consigned to Mount Vernon merchants. A box car was entered at Maunie Friday night and a quantity of merchandise was stolen. Sheriff Charles Gibbs of Carmi, Illinois, came to Mount Vernon Saturday night and after a consultation with Sheriff McFadden, left at 4 a.m., Sunday on an L&N freight train in an effort to catch the thieves at work. The following day four men of Maunie, Illinois, were arrested by the Carmi Sheriff and confessed to the robbery of the cars at that place. They said they had nothing to do with the robbery here. It is assumed that local young men broke into the Mount Vernon cars. Prizes Awarded For Beautiful Premises - Messrs. J.R. Stubbs, Louis Hohstadt, and James Kilroy, a committee appointed by the Chamber of Commerce to select the two most beautiful premises made their awards Saturday, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Johnson, 832 Walnut Street, being awarded first prize and Mrs. Esther Leonard, 704 Walnut Street, second prize.

Friends of WMI welcome Grafton to Lecture Series The Friends of the Working Men’s Institute presents Cathy Grafton in their 2022 Lecture Series. She will speak at the Working Men’s Institute (WMI) in New Harmony on Thursday, August 4 at 6:30 p.m. Grafton has had a passion for the Bayeux Tapestry since she was about eight-years-old. Her Mother gave her a book about this medieval embroidery, and she began to study the designs. Stitching to recreate small bits of this historic piece gives her a great feeling of connection to those who designed and stitched it almost 1,000 years ago, and she often uses the Bayeux stitch in her more modern work. This embroidery tells the story of the meeting of Harold and Duke William of Normandy, their adventures together and their fateful battle at Hastings in 1066 - all from a distinctly Norman viewpoint. Grafton visited it in Bayeux France more than 20 times and completed many sections which will help illustrate her lecture. Besides her stitch work, Grafton lectures and teaches workshops. She is the author of the book Nature, Design and Silk Ribbons.

steadfast adherence to a strict moral and ethical code. Integrity simply put is doing the right thing at the right time for the right reason even when no one is watching. Integrity in the leadership of our nation has flown out the window. The ethical code has changed to “What is right is what fits the need at the present time”. It is important in society that all the members understand character and integrity. When we know what to do and fail to do it then there is a breakdown in the social order. The moral fiber of our nation has changed to the point that there is no value to life. The moral fiber of our nation has changed to the point that what has been unacceptable is now forced upon us as acceptable. The character and integrity of our nation has fallen to the point that we no longer value the gender in which God made us. God made man and woman and He did not make a mistake when He made you. The character and integrity of our nation has changed from being what God made us to be to whatever we want to be. And we wonder why the

Where’s Zeke?

Sermon of the Week - James 4:17 Bro. Tom Doty 17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. Why do people have a problem with doing the right thing? Our nation suﬀers from a lack of character and integrity. We are not a stupid people yet we continue to do stupid things. Forrest Gump said, “Stupid is as stupid does”. Why, if we know what is right, do we continue to do wrong things? At one time our nation lived by a “Moral code”. The Moral Code came from the Word of God. God has given us instruction for living life and living it to the fullest. That’s what Jesus did for us. John 10:10 in the words of Jesus, “ I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly”. The abundant life comes in our relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Jesus saves us from our sin, covers our sin and allows us to live a life of character and integrity. That is the abundant life. It has been said that character is who you are. Your character deﬁnes you and guides your actions. Integrity is your

world is in the shape that it is in. We have failed to do what is right and we have sinned. And we are reaping the consequences of our sin. Destin Sandlin said, “Even if an organization is led by egomaniacs drunk with power who are unaware of their destructive practices, those who have integrity will be the one who steadily guide it from the bottom up, allowing it to quietly weather the storm through trying times”. We as believers in Christ who are doing and want to do the right thing have become the bottom up leaders of our land. As “Born again, children of God” we have a responsibility to rise up and stand ﬁrm for that which is right. Sandlin also said, “These bottom-up leaders will no doubt experience pain in doing so, but by being true to what they know is right, they will be a lighthouse of truth in a sea of the misguided”. Was it not Jesus who said, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle and put

it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:14-16). We as the Children of God must begin from the bottom-up to make a difference in our world. We know that which is right and we must begin to stand firm for that right. When we fail to stand for the Truth of God’s Word then we are failing in character and integrity. God has called us to stand and with God we do not stand alone. It is time for the people of God to be the people of God. We can no longer sit idly by and think that things will get better. Our character and integrity is at stake. Will we sell out or will we stand upon the Truth of God’s Word? I have prayed for you this morning. I have prayed for the moral integrity of our nation and our leaders that we would do that which we know is right and flee that which is wrong.

Many in Posey County have met Zeke through his support of his sibling, involvement in our community, or you may even be related to him. This summer Zeke is looking for new adventures to go on. Ezekiel or Zeke is the 7-year-old son of Michael and Varbi Galvin. He has just recently moved back to the Posey County area with his family. Zeke loves the outdoors and finding new adventures or places to go during the summer. Some of his favorite things around town are the parks, the history, and ice cream. Zeke is excited to get to know the town this summer with his family. Through a partnership with his parents, the Posey County News will be running a contest over the next six weeks of summer. Each week, Zeke and his family will submit a picture of Zeke in different places in Posey County. The object of the game is to take a guess each week where the photo was taken. To enter, send your answer each week to Dpearce263@ aol.com. At the end of the contest, there will be cash prizes for the most correct answers over the term of the contest.

Efforts underway to pay tribute to Bellefontaine vets 40 to 50 of the veterans in the section died during the war, but he said several other veterans can be found throughout the cemetery. Hoesli is commander of the John W. Foster Camp 2 of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) and works as the Indiana Department Graves Registration officer. He has entered more than 3,000 local Civil War veterans in the SUVCW national graves database. He has applied for 575 Civil War headstones and installed 545 so far. “As the older veterans pass away, they tend to be left behind and forgotten. As a group, the John W. Foster camp, we try to keep those memories alive and respect the veterans. It’s very important,” Hoesli said. An estimated 4.2 to 4.8 million Americans served in the Civil War. According to Genealogy Trails History Group, the first full companies of Posey County soldiers were mustered into service in August 1861 and Posey County is estimated to have had 3,000 enlisted soldiers in the war. Hoesli said soldiers that died at Mount Vernon’s Civil War hospital would likely have been buried in rows with wooden New headstones, provided by the Veteran’s Administraplank markers.

Those are cussing the need to restore the section as well. Hoesli said individual graves (at Bellefontaine). The only thing you can

do with that is go by dates of burial. Not going to be buried on different dates, side by side. They’re going to be buried as they passed away, side by side. So that part was pretty easy, but it does take a lot of time to get all of that together. Without records, I’m sure we’re going to miss a guy or two, unfortunately. We’re leaving enough room at the ends of the rows to where if we have to add somebody that turns up on record, we can put them there. At least a memorial type thing,” Hoesli said. Volunteers met at the cemetery Thursday and began digging and placing stones for installation. They’d planned to resume work on Saturday, but early storms forced the group to postpone. “We dug the trench and we lay rock into it. We have to start setting the stones into it and get them straight, same distance apart and make sure they are at least really close to where the actual burials are. Again, without records, you really don’t know,” Hoesli said. “The main focus is to make sure these guys have a name and that they’re recognized for their service.” The group has applied for replacement stones for two more rows at Bellefontaine and Hoesli said he expects to receive them within the next few weeks. Hoesli said all work has been funded through donations and the process couldn’t happen without the time and energy invested by the project’s volunteers. He said Wilson has been the “energy behind the project.” “Most of those headstones weigh 230 pounds. We try to get as many guys as we can to try to work those stones around. It’s tedious enough to try to get them straight and at the same height where they look nice. Moving around 230 pounds is not the easiest thing in the world to do,” he said. “Each stone has to be set one at a time. You can’t just put a bunch of stones in at the same time because you have to level them up and get them straight.” Bellefontaine Cemetery head Debbie Isham said the project is an important part of ongoing efforts to beautify the cemetery grounds. She credited Hoesli and Wilson for their work. Hoesli said a dedication will be held when the project is completed. He urged anyone interested in getting involved to reach out to their local organizations like the John Foster Camp or the Sons of the American Legion, who need new members to continue to provide services to honor veterans. “Everybody that you talk to that you tell this is going on, what you’re doing, they appreciate it. I guess that’s what keeps me going…is the fact that people see this and say ‘Wow, this is important.’ That’s what keeps it going,” Hoesli said.

‘Dog Days’ continued from Page A1 we can,” Harshbarger said. “There’s a lot of people out volunteering and donating their time and efforts and plenty of food. Posey County is pretty good about people volunteering and stepping up and doing what they really want to do with a heart for animals.” Harshbarger’s granddaughter Josie, 12, said she really enjoyed seeing the dogs. “I was looking forward to petting all of them and seeing how good they are with people. We love animals,” said Harshbarger. She said a highlight was watching Raven the agility dog. Kim Merrick of Mount Vernon said she went to the event because she wanted to help. “I’m a foster fail,” Merrick said as she petted Star, a small black and white dog looking for a “furever” home. Deputy McKinney and Basco participated in a K9 fetch raffle. Bright yellow tennis balls were numbered and Basco “fetched” balls to

determine the winners. “I’ve always supported PC Pound Puppies. I’ve actually got two dogs from them. Personal pets,” McKinney said. “They do a lot of good stuff for animals and for dogs. It’s good for the community and it’s good for animals all around.” Jeannine Maze of Mount Vernon was a raffle winner. She brought her granddaughters Charleigh Rheu, 5, and Avreigh Rheu, 9, to enjoy the festivities. “I help walk the dogs on Tuesdays and Thursdays (at PC Pound Puppies) and thought we’d come out to support them,” Maze said. “The dogs are so cute. You get them out and they are so excited.” Agility trainer Buono said she was happy to get involved with her dog Raven. She said she participates in a couple of community events each year. She said the day’s demonstrations were a fun day off for Raven, who is a trained bed bug detection canine for Buono’s business, McMahon

Exterminating. “We actually did a couple of demos of advanced dog training as well as some agility training. We did some demos on how to start agility training. It doesn’t matter how old your dog is or what skill level, you can still have fun with your dog,” Buono said. She said she received great feedback from guests. “A lot don’t realize that you don’t necessarily have to show your dog, but you can still have fun in your backyard and keep them up and active. There’s other things than just a walk or sending them to doggie day care that you can do with them,” Buono said. Brenda Vandever of PC Pound Puppies and New Life Rescue and Adoption said early storms may have impacted attendance initially, she thought “it turned out to be a nice day.” “There’s been a decent crowd here most of the day, so we’re pretty happy,” Vandever said.

‘Poker run’ continued from Page A1 and succeed not only physically, but also mentally and socially,” Wagner said. “We want to give this opportunity to all kids in our community through this fundraiser.” Riders gathered at Hovey Lake at 10 a.m., to begin the 34 mile trek through various stops in Point Township. Riders were given playing cards at each stop and the rider with the best hand at the end of the course won prizes. Once the participants arrived back at Hovey Lake after their ride, a 50/50 drawing and gift baskets were raffled. Leigh Latshaw, Mount Vernon High School Athletic Director and M-Club member said the group had 24 corporate sponsors that donated raffle baskets and

wrote sponsorship checks to help support the poker run.

‘County Council’ continued from Page A1 pending on how they were sentenced would determine as to where they would stay. If they were a Level 6 sentenced to Posey County, then they would stay in Posey County. Now we can send all of them back to the state,” Latham said. “We’ll see how that plays out. The DOC is not very good at keeping their word.”

Latham said he would rather house Vanderburgh County inmates than DOC inmates. “If there’s issues with (Vanderburgh County) inmates, we can always send them back to Vanderburgh. Whereas if we are housing DOC, we have to wait for them to schedule them to brought up to Plainfield. We’re going to be making the same amount of monamazing turn out,” Latshaw ey,” Latham said. said. Latham also asked council to discuss funding for an MSD of North Posey school resource officer. “In the past, it has been a split grant. We paid 50 percent. They paid 50 percent. They found it better

for them to use that grant money for other security purposes. They are willing to pay upto $50,000 out of their budget for a person to work as a school resource officer. I think that incentivizes good qualified candidates to apply for that position versus the $12.50 part time wage that we talked about before,” Latham said. “What we’ve come up with and what we have asked the county is to front that amount of money to be reimbursed on a monthly basis. If the county could budget $50,000 for the entire school year, each month after that SRO was paid North Posey would reimburse that.”

Russell retires as Executive Director of Family Matters Programs organizer will leave lasting legacy By Pam Robinson After 16 years as the face of Family Matters of Posey County, Beth Russell submitted her resignation Thursday to enjoy retirement. She started from the ground up in August, 2006, when a Lilly Foundation grant was awarded to United Way of Posey County for Family Matters (first known as Keeping Families Together). Her last day is September 30, 2022. The 501(c)3 nonprofit has grown under her leadership from receiving a total of six phone calls its first month to answering easily 1,200 phone calls throughout the year. Family Matters serves as a clearinghouse for services to Posey County residents from over 80 agencies in Vanderburgh and Posey counties and nearly 50 individual philanthropists. Russell’s direction led Family Matters to receive the Division Award for Business or Organization Integrity in 2019 from Leadership Evansville. “I’ve done this for 16 years. I love my job, but I have things I want to do personally. I think there are things to do that someone else could come in and grow Family Matters even bigger than it is right now,” Russell states. “This was an incredibly difficult decision because I love this job. I’ve met some amaz-

ing, awesome people through the years. Some of them are personal friends outside the business realm now. I’m just ready to try something new, and this feels like the right time.” When she arrived at Family Matters, Russell brought a strong background in social work. She graduated in 1990 from the University of Southern Indiana with a bachelor’s degree in business education. She immediately started working as a counselor for the Private Industry Council, a precursor to Work One, until she joined Steps Ahead in 1997, focusing on improving nonprofit

community collaboration. While working there, she earned her master’s degree in public service administration from the University of Evansville in 2004. The funding for Steps Ahead ended at the

TAKE A LOOK, WE’RE JUST MINUTES AWAY!

Murray to take the reins of Mount Vernon baseball By Trisha L. Lopez Mount Vernon baseball is hoping to “shock some people” moving into the 2023 season according to new coach Dustin Murray. Murray was named as the successor to longtime Wildcats Coach Paul Quinzer earlier this month. He will teach science at Mount Vernon Junior High School. A former Quinzer assistant, Murray said he is looking to honor the “rich history of the baseball community.” He will be just the third Wildcat head coach in more than 40 years, following two-decade-plus tenures for former skippers Dave Bell and Quinzer. Quinzer retired after 21 years as head coach for the Cats at the end of the 2022 season. He spent eight years as an assistant before moving into the head coaching position. Quinzer’s squads won seven Big Eight conference titles and four sectional crowns. The team finished the 2022 season 7-18. “A good first year would be establishing some solid system that teaches these boys how to prepare each and every day. I think winning ball games is kind of the end result, but there’s a lot of work that is done in the offset to achieve a mindset to win. That’s something I’m looking to establish right away,” Murray said. Murray said he has “the experience, the pedigree, and been a part of some winning programs” which have given him the

“knowledge to see that you don’t just step on the field and start winning. It’s done six, seven months before the season starts.” Murray was a member of the 2002 Canadian championship winning Lethbridge Community College baseball team. He transferred to the University of Wisconsin Parkside. In his senior season with the Rangers, the team claimed the Great Lakes Valley Conference championship and made it to the NCAA Division II North Central Regional finals. He served as an assistant coach at UWP and University of Southern Indiana. He was named to the UWP and USI Hall of Fame. He is a certified speed, strength and conditioning trainer. He said he wants to encourage Mount Vernon families to invest their time in baseball to “bring back that baseball culture around town.” Pictured left to right are the new Mount Vernon baseball “It starts at the youth level.

The University of Indianapolis football-bound Wilson had three tackles and wreaked havoc en route to a 14-0 South victory. “I’m kind of speechless right now,” Wilson said with a grin. “I’m just honored and grateful for the opportunity to play for my last high school football game.” Wilson battled back from foot surgery after an injury sustained at the end of basketball season. After months of work spent trying to be ready to take the field, Wilson said he’d had his doubts that he could be ready to go. “I didn’t think I was going to be able to play again. I didn’t think I was going to be able to make a fast enough recovery to play in this game. I’m glad I did,” Wilson said. “I’m just thankful for everything.” Wilson and the rest of the players stayed and practiced at Mount Vernon assistant coach Justin Fischer, Jaden Wil- UIndy for four days leading up to the game, giving Wilson a son, Coach Luke Messmer, and assistant coach Hank Lopez. chance to preview his future home. He said he will report to campus early next month. Wilson joked that he didn’t really like the dorm beds, but he said he’s excited about becoming a Greyhound.

Continued on Page B3 ‘All Stars’ continued from Page B1 Athletic Conference team, the Region Nine All Star team and the IFCA All State team as well. Messmer called the All Star week experience “tremendous.” “It’s been awesome to be around a group of great coaches and a team full of awesome players,” Messmer said. “We took 12 guys from our corner of the state up here, which is more than any other year I can remember. They have made a bunch of huge plays.” He praised Wilson’s play throughout the week. “He made it tough on our offense all week (in practice). His athleticism that we all saw during the season translates against the great offensive linemen he’s facing this week,” Messmer said. Messmer said it “means a bunch to our program to have Jaden on the (All Star) team.” “He’s a great representative of us on a big stage,” Messmer said. “This is the second year in a row a Wildcat is on the roster, so we are starting to get some recognition on the state level now, which is exciting.”

WMI Artifact Under Exam by Melora Adams A painting has recently been hung in the lecture and meeting room here at the Working Men’s Institute. Loaned to the WMI by Kent and Laurie Parker, it is an impressionist painting which was created at this year’s First Brush of Spring by an artist named Jason Bailey. The painting depicts the western end of the WMI building here in New Harmony during its recent construction work. In January the scaﬀolding began to be built around the Working Men’s Institute building, and it wasn’t until May that all of it was ﬁnally removed. The existing clay tile roof was replaced with a beautiful new slate roof,

restoring the building’s roof to its state when it was first built. Some paintings are images of things such as landscapes that are permanent, and some are images of things such as flowers that are transient. This painting combines the two, capturing the temporary scaffolding around a building that has been in place since 1894 – 128 years – and has been maintained and improved throughout those years. The title of the painting is “High Maintenance.” It is a title with a double meaning, referring to the facts that work on the roof of such a tall building is done high above the ground and that an older building is often in need of maintenance work of one kind or another. In the First Brush of Spring, artists select their subjects around New Harmony and

then spend a few days painting or drawing “plein air.” It is a celebration of spring, that art can be created out of doors. Their works are then displayed, and some can be purchased on the closing day of the event. Many thanks to Kent and Laurie Parker for lending the WMI this beautiful painting. Upcoming at the WMI: The Summer reading program is held each Thursday from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. The last day will be July 21. New Harmony Farmer’s and Artisan’s Market at the WMI will be each Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon through fall. Last day of market TBA.
