Baker finishes 30-year stint as CEO

By Lynda Baker Bruce Baker opened the January 2021 meeting of the Poseyville Town in what would be his last duty as President of the Council. Baker, who has served on the Council for 33 years (30 as President), expressed his pleasure in serving in such capacity, but he felt that it was time for him to step aside, citing health issues. He indicated that he would complete his remaining three years on the Council, which would give him an opportunity to share all that he has learned over the years with the new members.

Baker then nominated Mike Baehl to serve as President of the Council, which motion was unanimously approved. Baehl thanked Baker for his service and shared that he had only recently discovered the time and effort the position involved. “I am learning something new every day,” he said.

Bruce Baker There was a discussion regarding Phase III Covid Grants, which

grants may be used for emotional and/ or mental health services, expanded childcare services, WIFI hotspots, rent and utilities for low income households, food banks, and other situations impacted by the pandemic; however, a 50 percent low-moderate income level would be necessary to qualify for such services.

Assistance for small businesses will again be made available under similar guidelines, for up to $10,000. This time, however, the business owner must complete the employee income portion of the application.

The Council agreed to apply for $200,000 in this phase. If approved, Poseyville small businesses may apply to receive these funds, as may small businesses within two miles of town limits. Competition for the town

Front line worker Amber Grabert is BPW Woman of Year

By Lois Mittino Gray “My mouth almost hit the floor. I was so surprised. Holy Moly. I am completely blown away. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would win this award, but I did,” Amber Grabert gushed with excitement.

Grabert was named the Mount Vernon Chapter of Business and Professional Women’s 2021 “Woman of the Year” in a complete surprise, pulled off by family and club members on Thursday, January 14. She is employed as a registered nurse at Ascension-Saint Vincent.

“That night started out routine. I came home from work and helped my daughter with some homework, and helped with dinner. My husband was already in his sleeping pants and he told me to go to my BPW meeting at the Elks Club with no worries. After I left, he changed clothes, grabbed the kids, and met my mom and sister at the Elks Club. I had my back to the door and did not see them come in. The club members hid them all in the other room, until the announcement. They came out smiling and I was stunned,” she recalled. “He kept the secret so well.”

The delighted winner was nominated by fellow club member, Jeanne Wehr. She received a beautiful plaque, complete with Jeanne’s framed letter, presented by Club President Kathryn Coleman. This was followed by a

big bouquet of flowers, a BPW Woman of the Year pin, and plenty of hugs and well-wishes from family and friends.

Amber joined the BPW organization six years ago at the invitation of her great-aunt, Janice McGennis Carr. At that time, Carr was helping watch her daughter, Brookelyn, while she worked. “She thought I could use one night off a month to get out and be with other ladies. So I joined and I do enjoy the meetings and outings,” she said.

In her letter of nomination, Wehr wrote, “We are so blessed to have our front line workers at our health care facilities putting their personal lives on the back burner to help others in need.

They are overwhelmed. Our own BPW has its own front line worker in Amber Grabert.”

Nurse Grabert, locally-raised daughter of Rick and Amy Bulla, attended Farmersville Elementary School and was graduated from Mount Vernon High School in 2005. She studied nursing at Ivy Tech and started her career in 2009, when it was still called Saint Mary’s Hospital. She worked three years in the ICU Step Down Unit, until transferring to her current role in 2021 as an Infectious Disease Department nurse. “I just love what I do and wouldn’t change it for the world,” she de-

Making the best of a tough situation

Necessity is mother of invention in COVID crazy year

Emily Sellers

(USPS 439-500)

By Lois Mittino Gray Emily Sellers is in her ‘sophomore year’ as an educator, so she can now compare two years of teaching first grade at Saint Matthew School in Mount Vernon. This year, of course, is very different with COVID-19 restrictions looming in her classroom.

“This is really a crazy year, so doing special things is very limited or modified. For example, last year students who met their accelerated reading program goals at the end of a quarter went out to the movies. This year, we had a Pajama Day here at school instead for goal makers. They wore pajamas, ate popcorn and snacks, and watched a Jingle, Jangle movie we streamed,” she explained.

Last Tuesday, Sellers’s ten students celebrated one hundred days of being in class with special activities. They

raced each other in math, rolling one die at a time, to see who could be the first to reach 100. They did a number 100 coloring page and took pictures wearing their ‘Happy 100 Day’ hats. Since parents cannot visit these days, Sellers uses an app called Bloom to communicate with parents and send them these photos of class events.

“With our small size, it is easier to feel safe here with COVID concerns, since we can spread the kids out more.

They are just great about wearing their masks. Being so young, I do have to remind them sometimes to put it on,” she said. Students wear masks when moving in the hallway, at lunch or going to larger rooms, such as music and art.

They do not have to wear them at recess. Emily tries to wear her mask most of the day.

Since Saint Matthew is a Catholic

school, her students wear masks to attend mass once a week, first thing on Thursday mornings. “They do pretty good sitting still for about forty minutes. They process up to the altar to get a blessing from Fr. Ryan during communion. They really like Fr. Ryan. He’s great with them,” she enthused.

Her teaching assignment also involves trading with the kindergarten teacher to teach social studies to the younger students, during the second and fourth quarters. The Kindergarten teacher then teaches Science to Emily’s first graders. “This is a good way for me to get to know the students who will be in my first grade next year,” she observed.

The Evansville native is very familiar with Catholic education. She graduated from Mater Dei High School in 2013.

She earned an elementary education

degree from the University of Southern Indiana in 2016. “I always knew I wanted to be a teacher from the beginning,” she said.

The devoted educator is single and is currently living in an apartment in Evansville, near her home parish of Saint Boniface. On weekends after dealing with the high energy and constant questions of the youngsters, she enjoys reading a good book or watching a movie on Netflix. “I’m more of an indoor person. I occasionally go for a walk. No, I don’t garden or raise plants.

I kill flowers,” she told me with a smile.

“I do like to spend time with my large family. My mom was one of eight, so I have about 20 cousins and a brother.”

Right now, everyone at the school is working together to make an object to

That which unites us...

T .

S

T F There were

doubters. There were people on both the extreme sides of the political spectrum who have tried to make us believe it wouldn’t happen‌but it did.

Despite the election and Inauguration on Wednesday of this week, the sun did indeed come up on Thursday morning and for most of us, we became hopeful once again that healing could begin and divisiveness could at reach begin its descent.

I’ll have to admit that the divide was as big as I have seen it in my lifetime but I’ll also have to admit there have been some times of pretty deep division. But we are America and for all that we have been through, we have always been able to land on our collective feet and begin an attempt to solve our dierences for the next four years. Hope springs eternal.

For all that mainstream media would have you believe, it could be that things are not as bad as they have been portrayed. For the main part, the biggest part of the other 328 million of we Americans are much like each other. There are many more things that unite us than things that divide us.

For most of us, the looting, rioting, and storming Capitols is no more than a bad dream.

The greatest majority of us would like to see our nation healed and life to return to “normal,� whatever that is.

The greatest majority of Americans wake up each morning and head o to work in an eort to make a living for ourselves and our families. Yes, there are a relatively small segment of Americans who were born into rich families and don’t have quite as much stress as those who were born into homes with a lower level of means. But for the greatest majority, we take pride in our eorts and our successes at being able to put a roof over our heads, food on our tables, a vehicle to travel in, and sometimes, even a few dollars in the bank. This is true of the overwhelming majority of we Americans.

There is a relatively small segment of Americans who are on the lower end of the poverty level who are not aorded these luxuries. It is for those who we can pray for, and can oer help when the situation arises.

The problems come when our news media gives the huge minority the majority of the coverage. Sometimes we begin questioning if

Guest Opinions It’s a good timne to quit The holiday season looked a little dierent this year, and stress levels may have been at an all-time high for many of us. But, the new year is here, and it’s a great time for fresh starts.

If you’re someone who uses tobacco, the best thing you can do for your health this year is to quit. Smoking is still the number one cause of preventable death in Indiana. Making the decision to quit in 2021 can dramatically reduce your risk for life threatening diseases.

Tips to help you quit: • Set a quit date • Let friends, family, coworkers, and others know you are quitting

Goal of US history defined In his farewell address in 1989 Ronald Reagan asked the following: “Are we doing a good enough job teaching our children what America is and what she represents in the long history of the world?�

In thinking speciďŹ cally about how history is taught these days, I think we are often teaching from the wrong basic assumption. It seems history, and U.S. history especially, is taught with the goal of looking at and judging the actions of the past as wrongs to learn from so as to not make the same mistakes. There is deďŹ nitely value in learning from the past, but this is a awed approach unless the following is deeply understood. . . All men and women throughout history were complicated individuals whose lives and actions were a constant struggle among good, evil, and indierence. This is the

there is such a thing as normal inn America.

But I assure you, “normal� is more than a setting on the washing machine. Into every life a little rain must fall. The question is how we react to it.

This year, just for good measure, in a year when things were particularly divided, COVID was thrown in for good measure. Some people who were already on edge were pushed right on over by the possibility that a virus could attack and take the health and even lives of ourselves or our loved ones and we had nothing with which to battle it. It was a situation that as Americans, we are not accustomed to ďŹ nding ourselves facing. With the tension and the election, collectively, we could have handled it better. But in the whole scheme of things, how many people actually did the burning and looting of cities and how many people actually stormed the Capitol. From news reports, you would think the number was 50 percent of the population. In reality, the real number is less than one percent of the total population.

On Sunday morning, I listened as our minister spoke to the church. Although some are attending services in person and some are livestreaming while some are wearing masks and others are not (yes, there’s always those debates to fall back on), our minister pointed out one solid piece of advice that has stayed with me.

Yes, there are many of us who have dierent opinions regarding what is going on in our rural areas, our towns and our cities. But the real division is not between the actual people. The division is between the ideas, not necessarily between the people. You are able to not like the idea but still like the person. No one has said we have to like our neighbors’ way of thinking or their ideologies. However, Christian people or even just people with a hint of good moral character believe they should love their neighbors as themselves. Dierences do not call for hate. Dierences, when properly viewed, can simply be an opportunity for understanding.

So yes, the sun did come up on Thursday morning and so far, it has come up every morning since Inauguration Day. Has it shone with the same intensity each day, I don’t believe so.

However, it has always come up. And as long as the sun shines, hope endures.

As not only good people but as good Americans, let’s look for more of the things that unite us than those that divide us. I guarantee if you

make a list of those things on both sides, the list of things that unite us will be far longer than the list of things that divide us.

On a more local level, the debate is now raging in southern Posey County as to whether or not we will have solar farms or whether we won’t. Everyone involved has an opinion.

But much like in America, if it doesn’t aect us personally, our opinions are not nearly as

strong.

So let’s handle this, and all decisions, like good Americans. Let’s treat each other like we would want to be treated. Respect the person even if you do not agree with his or her opinion. Harmony will eventually be found in the things that unite us, not those which divide us.

God bless Posey County and God Bless America.

Guest Column: US Senator Josh Hawley Why I Objected

Last week, I objected during the Joint Session count of electoral votes in order to have a debate on the issue of election integrity. My objection proceeded according to the letter of the statute, which speciďŹ cally permits for objections and debate, and followed the traditions of Congress.

In fact, dozens of Democratic members of Congress have lodged objections in precisely the same forum over the last three decades. To be speciďŹ c, Democrats objected after the elections of 2000, 2004, and 2016–in other words, every time a Republican has won the White House in the last thirty years. And they were within their rights to do so. The Joint Session is the forum where concerns about an election can be raised, debated, and ultimately resolved with a vote. • Identify your reasons for quitting The dierence between those past instances • Identify your smoking triggers and remove and this year, however, is striking.

That’s false. And the allegation itself is corrosive and dangerous. human condition and must be understood.

Let me say again, as I have said before: The The main characters in history are those lawless violence at the Capitol last week was whose achievements resulted in either extraor- criminal. There can be no quibbling about that. dinary good or extraordinary evil. Learning the Those who engaged in it should be prosecuted aws of extraordinarily good men or women and punished.

But democratic debate is not mob violence. It cally about the aws of the best?

At its most basic, k-12 U.S. history should is in fact how we avoid that violence.

Our system of government is the envy of the create well-grounded patriotism and a working knowledge of the U.S. Constitution as the best world in part because it contains mechanisms to give Americans of dierent views a voice— instrument to convey freedom to the people. **This is not an indictment of teachers, but without resort to threats or violence or unrest quite the opposite. We are blessed to have a of any kind. Debate on the oor of Congress, great many teachers who do it the right way. like the debate that is provided for during the

counting of electoral votes, is one of these. It is a forum for registering disagreement, airing diering views, and resolving these dierences peaceably. This is our proud tradition as Americans.

Many, many citizens in Missouri have deep concerns about election integrity. For months, I heard from these Missourians—writing, calling my oďŹƒce, stopping me to talk. They want Congress to take action to see that our elections at every level are free, fair, and secure. They have a right to be heard in Congress. And as their representative, it is my duty to speak on their behalf. That is just what I did last week.

As to my speciďŹ c objection: I objected with regard to Pennsylvania because the state failed to follow its own constitution. The Pennsylvania constitution has been interpreted by the state’s courts for over a century to prohibit mail-in voting, except in clearly stated circumstances. But last year, Pennsylvania politicians adopted universal mail-in voting anyway. To make matters worse, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court then changed the rules for when mail-in ballots could be returned. And when Pennsylvania citizens tried to go to court to object, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court threw out the case on procedural grounds, in violation of its own precedent. To this day, no court has found the mail-in voting scheme to be constitutional, or even heard the merits of the case.

I also objected to point out the unprecedented interference of the Big Tech corporations in this election in favor of the Biden campaign, not just in Pennsylvania but everywhere. Their interference in our democratic process has only accelerated in recent days.

Some wondered why I stuck with my objection following the violence at the Capitol. The reason is simple: I will not bow to a lawless mob, or allow criminals to drown out the legitimate concerns of my constituents.

I am proud to represent you in Congress.

Your voice helps make this country and our democracy strong. These are diďŹƒcult days for our country. All I can promise you is that I will do my best, day in and day out, to represent your voice, no matter who criticizes me. And I will do my utmost to preserve, protect and defend this republic that we call home.

Attenuation

The season of our discontent is set to begin February 08, 2021.

Soon we will be forced to talk to our spouses again and eat an actual meal instead of gobble chicken wings during commercials or at halftimes. I can feel the ennui closing in. ♍ It is a long, long time from February to September ♍ when football season returns. It is not that I have no interest in other sports, but other than the Olympic downhill ski race and the baseball World Series I just do not want to watch them on television. On the other hand, I will gladly spend four hours watching Goadie Bowl Tech and Reyfert Hogart Junior College drop passes and fumble kick-os. Such pursuits as yard work and household chores quickly fade in the afterglow of a football game. Ah well, perhaps it will give me an opportunity to ask Peg what she has been doing since September 2020. Also, I might give some thought to such things as our battle with ’Ole 19 and our politi-

cal malaise.

Perhaps I can combine my concerns about the end of the football season, the Corona Virus and such political madness as the January 06, 2021 assault on our Capitol including its impending impeachment imbroglio. After all, President Gerald Ford was the hero or villain, choose one, of the President Richard Nixon impeachment controversy and President Lyndon Johnson often alleged Ford’s decisions were aected by Ford’s having played too much football without a helmet. Gerald Ford played center on the University of Michigan football team. Ford graduated from college in 1935, an era when leather helmets were in vogue. For safety reasons leather has been gradually replaced with the rock-hard plastic we now use.

Hello, spearing or targeting penalties and TIB’s (traumatic brain injuries). However, from an esthetic viewpoint, the hard plastic provides a better surface for team logos and sticker awards for hard hits.

Football and politics do have some similarities, and when it comes to dealing with misP / E

deeds in either, the legal concept of attenuation is relevant. With football a hard hit with his helmet by one player against the head of another player can be analyzed by re-tracing backwards from the hit. While not even the player himself, or now perhaps herself too, may know for sure if he intended permanent harm, the referees and the re-play booth can carefully review and discuss the event. This may disclose guilt or innocence of the player but is he the only one to blame?

The fanatics who cheer on teams often call for the players to â€œďŹ ght’ or even “kill ’emâ€?.

One’s teammates may urge super aggression.

Coaches spend months in conditioning drills and two-a-days pre-season practices explaining how starters push the limits while bench setters are more timid. And what about the player’s parents? Who is responsible for engendering mayhem instead of mercy?

The same type of analysis is an element of our criminal justice system. When there is a lynching, how far back the causal chain should punishment go? Is it just the one person who slips

the noose over the victim’s neck? What about the on-lookers, the news media that fanned the ames, the leaders who gave rousing speeches, the sworn law oďŹƒcers who did not intervene and the rest of the community who acquiesced in silence either during or after the lynching?

Perhaps an entire country might be responsible or even a silently accepting world. How do we decide whether we are applying appropriate punishment or simply burning a few witches to shoulder the blame for everyone?

Then, of course, we need to look at the dynamics of the attenuation itself. Who is making the choices about whom to burn? Are the decisions just or are they just decisions because the ones who execute them have the power to do so? And most importantly, are we a better society because of the choices or are we simply fomenting more targeting? Finally, where and how does it end?

P Madeleine, this has already been a long winter, at least for me. I don’t suppose that all that much will change a lot when Spring arrives this year. I can always hope for the best, of course. I know that it will take some effort to make this happen.

I promised I would not write lots more about my physical problems, so I will try to ignore much of it.

The things that used to be thought of as greatly important have paled in light of other things. No, my husband never recognizes Valentine’s Day. That used to make me jealous of others and angry. However, this same husband tirelessly now takes care of me and does many household things that I can no longer do.

I am very thankful for many things. After worrying about what would happen to my parrots when I could no longer care for them, they found a very

Embrace life, happiness, joy

good home.

We have dodged a deadly virus which has killed thousands of others. I am alive to celebrate 76 years of life. It is hard to observe the differences in our world and country, but I believe that we are on a good path and our values and way of life will endure.

I talk to my good friend Brenda Patrick every day and we speak of our good memories and support each other. I have known her for 75 years, and we have shared the good times as well as the bad. My heart bled for her when she lost both her son, David, and her daughter, Jill. No matter how badly a day seems to be, she is always there for me.

I have another friend who lost her husband. She has accepted the friendship of another gentleman to share this part of her life. I am sure that the love of her life, now departed, would be glad for her.

We should all embrace life, happiness, and joy. My motherin-law found a companion who

O

made her life better. Never forgetting the man who was the father of her children and was sadly lost in WWII. She found many days of happiness again.

They spent the winters in Florida and had time to enjoy.

Before starting this relationship, she came to Poseyville and asked our opinion. We were, of course, happy for her. Sadly, this man fell victim to dementia, but they had a lot of good years first.

I have tried to replace needless worry with hope this year.

All three of my children have started another year of their lives with good happenings.

That fact alone makes me sleep better at night. Once one becomes a parent, you never walk alone again, because we feel responsible for them, despite their age.

I hope that after Don and I are gone from this earth, we will be remembered for our love and support, and all of the good years we shared. We went on vacations and shared happy holidays for many years. No matter what, my children could always

come to us for help.

To all young parents, try to make your children feel supported and blessed. Disagreements are bound to come up, but in the end, they need to know you will always have their back. One of the biggest disappointments of my life was the lack of a loving father. I never had strong arms to pick me up, nor a wise man to give me advice in adulthood.

After all of these years, I still sharply feel this need.

Again, this was yet another void in Lucile Powers’ life; her father died in the 1917 pandemic.

To everyone who has never had to walk down the path of life without a dad, embrace the one you have – literally – and never forget all that he has done to make your life safe and happy.

I have felt so many times how much I have needed a strong hand to hold. I hope that everyone takes time to give their father a loving hug while he is still alive on this earth. I have always tried to live my life in a way my father would be proud of me, if Long-time Oliver resident Ruth Nowling recently celhe ever wanted to know me. ebrated her 98th birthday.

Special to the News On January 19, 2021, at 8:54 p.m. Deputy Brian Naas stopped to check on a Blue 2011 Toyota Rav that was along the side of the road of State Road 168 near County Road 325 West.

Upon approaching the vehicle he found 51-year-old Melissa Fithian behind the wheel of the vehicle. While speaking with Fithian Deputy Naas believed she may be under the influence of Alcohol. At that point he began a roadside DUI investigation. At the conclusion of the investigation Fithian was placed into custody.

During a search of Fithian illegal drugs and drug para-

She has since posted a $750 bond.

Assisting Deputy Naas in his investigation was Deputy Zach Lienemann.

The letter opener has decorative carving on the handle. Inked on the blade, in ornate lettering, is “CLARA.� The signs of wear on this item make it look like it was used frequently.

The other piece of carved work is more decorative and is also marked as Clara’s. It was whittled with much decoration and has on its front “C T W MAY 18 1937.� That was Clara Tretheway Ward’s 56th birthday, so it was a birthday present. Harry would have been 81 years old.

What clever hands for his age!

Now, why would Harry Slater have been whittling objects and giving them to Clara?

Looking at the census record for 1900, we ďŹ nd that Clara Tretheway and her family lived on Main Street next door to Harry Slater and his mother (his father had died by then). So, they knew each other.

When they began living with Harry, Clara and William were

newlyweds, just starting their life together. Harry’s mother had died only a few months earlier.

Harry never married and was 25 years older than Clara and William Ward.

Clara and her husband William Ward lived with Harry from 1910 until Harry’s death in 1947.

Until 1932, Harry owned and operated the New Harmony Register, the local newspaper that his father had started back in 1867.

William Ward did not work for the newspaper; he worked in a grocery store.

Without Clara and William, Harry probably would have been living alone, so perhaps they were like a surrogate family for him.

This carved work certainly shows that he felt a friendly affection for Clara.

Birthdays

poseycountynews.com Rather than focusing on a single artifact, this article is going to discuss some objects which relate to one person. That person is Harry Truman Slater. He was not named after President Harry Truman, by the way; he was born about 30 years before Harry S Truman!

One artifact has Harryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name associated with it because he gave it to the Working Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Institute. It was not made by him, though. It is a cribbage board, carved by Eugene Thrall and given by him to Charles W. Slater (Harryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father) in 1864. They were serving in the Civil War together. It has on it in raised lettering â&#x20AC;&#x153;C. W. S.â&#x20AC;? What is quite interesting about this cribbage board is that it could have been whittled by Harry himself. So perhaps he got some of his whittling ideas from it.

Recently we have catalogued two pieces of Harry Slaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carved work: a letter opener and a decorative object.

He made them both for Clara Tretheway Ward and they were given to the WMI by Claraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband, William Ward.

A private funeral service will be held on Friday, January 29, 2021 at Schneider Funeral Home, 512 Main Street,

JANUARY 26, 2021

Note: This issue includes: A very sad story - full military funeral given Army nurse, Mary â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fogasâ&#x20AC;? Wurm, Elksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lecture course featuring Tahan, the Indian, 20 Posey County citizens will appear for Naturalization, Fordson tractors reduced, Pioneer resident, Ezekiel Black dies, and many news briefs and personals.

Full Military Funeral Is Given Mrs. Otto Wurm, Army Nurse - Mrs. Otto Wurm of Indianapolis, died Thursday evening at a sanitarium in that city, her death being due to blood poisoning following childbirth.

Mrs. Wurm was the eldest daughter (Mary) of Mr. and Mrs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doryâ&#x20AC;? Fogas, former resident of this city, and the United Efforts of six of the best specialists of that city, and several trained nurses failed to accomplish their objective.

During the World War, while yet single, Mary volunteered her services free of charge, as a US Army nurse and was sent to Camp McClellan, Alabama, where she served for over six months, and shortly after her return home, was united in marriage to Otto F. Wurm, a prescription druggist who for years had been employed in the drug store owned by her father. She was an accomplished young lady, of a sweet and jovial disposition, and well-known in this city where she frequently visited her grandmother, Mrs. Elizabeth Lichtenberger and other relatives. The deceased was 26 years of age, and besides her husband and three weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old babe, is survived by her parents, three sisters and a large circle of relatives who have the heart-felt sympathy of their friends here in their sad and sudden bereavement.

The funeral occurred from the home of her parents on College Avenue, Monday afternoon, the services being in charge of Rev. Barr Bank of Richmond, Indiana, an old friend of the family, and to show the esteem in which the deceased was held by her large circle of friends, three sides of the room in which the remains reposed were ďŹ lled from ďŹ&#x201A;oor to ceiling with ninety-four ďŹ&#x201A;oral

emblems and wreaths, of which no two were alike. Lying by her side in the casket was a miniature cradle made of ďŹ&#x201A;owers with the inscription, â&#x20AC;&#x153;From Baby to Mother,â&#x20AC;? a ďŹ&#x201A;oral oďŹ&#x20AC;ering sent to the home by her uncle, Frank Lichtenberger. The funeral cortege was no doubt one of the largest that ever accompanied the remains of a young mother to the cemetery, there being over 60 autos in the procession.

In A Notice Of The Death Of Mrs. Wurm, The Indianapolis News Wrote: The ďŹ rst full military funeral for a woman in Indianapolis was given today to Mrs. Wurm, by the American Legion Post, which she was a member of. OďŹ&#x192;cers of the post served as pall-bearers. The three volley salute was given at the grave by a military squad. Members of the Delta Rho Society, of which Mrs. Wurm was a member, were honorary pall-bearers.

Burial was in Crown Hill Cemetery.

Tahan, The Indian And His Daughter, Princess Nacoomee, Speak At Elksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lecture - Tahan, the Indian, his daughter, Princess Nacoomee, and Miss Short entertained a large audience when they appeared here Monday night at the fourth Elksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lecture course. Miss Short gave several vocal and piano solos, which were delightfully received. Following Miss Short, Princess Nacoomee rendered several selections on the violin.

Her story of the life of Indian girls was very interesting and were related in a pleasant manner.

Tahan, the principal speaker, occupied the platform for almost two hours. He wove the story of the Red Man around his own life and vividly portrayed the Indian as a loyal and true American.

Tahan is the son of a famous Indian scout, California Joe. His mother was a full blooded Indian. When but a small child, he was captured and adopted by a neighboring tribe. At the age of 14 years he was present at various engagements of General Custer and his Indian foes.

After escaping from Fort Sill, where he was awaiting sentence to be shot for defend-

ing his home land, Tahan wandered East and by hard study, he secured an education above the average and for a time served as a Presbyterian minister. President Cleveland gave him a pardon and in 1916 he was given U.S. citizenship.

Fordson Tractors Greatly Reduced - Keck-Gonnerman Co., Automotive Dept. are just in receipt of a telegram advertising that eďŹ&#x20AC;ective Jan. 26, the new price of a Fordson Tractor is $625.

Pioneer Resident Of Posey County Dies - Pneumonia dating from Christmas Day proved fatal to George W. Black, one of Posey Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pioneer residents and a well-known farmer.

He was 73 years of age and a member of the Ezekiel Black family, one of the Pioneer families of Posey County.

Posey to receive federal funds for emergency food and shelter programs Applications due from qualified organizations by Wednesday, February 10, 2021 Posey County has been notified that it will be awarded an estimated $5,700 in Federal Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) Phase 38 funds through the U. S. Department of Homeland Security, as appropriated by Congress.

A local board made up of United Way, Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, local ministerial association agencies, and local government entities will determine how the funds awarded to Posey County are to be distributed among local agencies in the area. The Local Board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive these funds. In anticipation of this award and deadlines, the Local EFSP Board is encouraging local agencies that meet requirements to apply for the funds.

Under the terms of the grant from the National Board, local agencies chosen to receive funds must: 1) be private, voluntary nonprofits or units of government; 2) be eligible to receive federal funds; 3) have an accounting system; 4) practice nondiscrimi-

nation; 5) have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs; and 6) if they are a private, voluntary organization, they must have a voluntary board.

Posey County jurisdiction has distributed EFSP funds to River Bend Food Pantry, God’s Storehouse, New Harmony Food Pantry, Salem Sharing Basket, and At The Cross Mission. These agencies were responsible for providing emergency food supplies for more than 5,000 individuals. Funds may also be used to meet emergency housing needs in the community.

Nonprofit organizations or public agencies interested in applying for Phase 38 Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds should contact Family Matters, (Beth Russell, P. O. Box 392, Mount Vernon, IN, 47620, 812-838-6875, familymatt2006@ aol.com) as soon as possible for an application and requirements.

The deadline for applications to be received is Wednesday, February 10, 2021 at 12 p.m.

Scholarships Application Deadline is Feb. 28 at SIC

Scholarship application time is in full swing at Southeastern Illinois College. The deadline is Feb. 28 for all students -- new and current -- who plan to attend during the 2021-22 academic year.

One application serves for more than 300 possible scholarships. The application has three main requirements: 1) fill out the application entirely, 2) complete a typed 750-1,000 word essay explaining career goals, leadership experience, community involvement and need for scholarships, and 3) submit a high school or current college transcript.

More than 70 percent of the students attending Southeastern receive some form of financial aid or scholarships. Illinois State Monetary Award Program (MAP) grants and federal Pell grants make up a large portion of this aid, but SIC and the SIC Foundation go a step further by providing local scholarships and grants provided by alumni, individuals, and businesses in southeastern Illinois that want to make a difference in their community. In fact, more than $600,000 in scholarships is available to qualified students attending SIC each year.

Before applying for scholarships, students should have filled out a college application for SIC. Additionally, a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be filled out prior to receiving scholarship funds.

MVNR Begins COVID-19 vaccine administration Following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval of COVID-19 vaccines for emergency use, Mount Vernon Nursing and Rehabilitation, a proud member of American Senior Communities (ASC), has begun administration of the COVID-19 vaccine and is partnering with CVS and their long-term care pharmacy, Omnicare, who bring their expertise in serving seniors.

We are thankful for all who worked to bring the vaccine safely to us. The vaccine is being offered free of charge to all residents and staff in two doses, given 28 days apart. Our goal is to have 100 percent of our residents and staff vaccinated. We have aggressively provided education and counseling to ensure compliance.

The attached photo was taken

at Mount Vernon Nursing and Rehabilitation on January 19th.

As part of ASC’s awareness campaign to achieve victory over COVID through vaccination, named “Gimme a V!,” ASC will launch a new series of commercials in January. The series aims to educate the public by combatting the most common fears surrounding the vaccine.

The commercials are fronted by Quinn Buckner, NCAA & NBA Champion, Olympic Gold Medalist, Civic leader, Sportscaster, the voice of the Indiana Pacers and American Senior Communities team member. This link previews just one of the commercials in the series. https://youtu. be/cvtu2gHjCmA Mount Vernon Nursing and Rehabilitation continues to be in close contact with local, state and

federal health authorities, following their guidance, mandates and reporting requirements. The residents and families we serve are our highest priority, and while this vaccine brings new hope and heightened optimism

Sermon of the Week - 2 Thessalonians 3:3 Bro. Tom Doty 2 Thessalonians 3:3 (KJV) 3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

You’ve heard the line, “God is good”. And yes, God is good all the time. But, have you thought about the faithfulness of God? God is faithful all the time. The faithfulness of God never fails.

What God has promised God can do. Hebrews 6:18-19 tells us, “That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil”. These verses speak to us of the faithfulness of God. God does not lie. What He says He will do.

In the faithfulness of God we have two things that give us the assurance of God’s faithfulness.

We have a strong consolation.

The faithfulness of God is the comfort we receive after a loss or disappointment. The sinful world in which we live brings loss and disappointment. However, the faithfulness of God helps us overcome those problems. In the faithfulness of God we also have an anchor of the soul. We have that which holds us fast during the storms of life.

God is faithful as the anchor that holds us sure and steadfast. In the faithfulness of God we have one who brings us through the disappointments of life and who is our strong anchor in those disappointments.

Think about the faithfulness of God as we study the Word of God. God promised two older people that they would have a son. The man questioned God and the woman laughed at the thought of having a child, but God delivered a son just like He promised (Genesis 21:1-2).

We see the faithfulness of God as God promises to go before David into battle (2 Samuel

5:19-25). In the faithfulness of God, He will go before each of us preparing the way that we might have victory in the battles we face. We experience the faithfulness of God in our lives as we trust God to forgive us as we confess our sins (1 John 1:9). We experience the faithfulness of God as He never leaves or forsakes us (Hebrews 13:5).

We experience the faithfulness of God everyday as we live our lives. God is in all things and we see Him in all things. God never fails to keep His promises to us.

He is our faithful God. Now, the faithfulness of God establishes our lives, however, are we faithful to God? Do we allow God to keep us from evil?

Do we allow God to direct our path of life? How faithful are we to the Word of God? The faithfulness of God does not depend on us. But, our faithfulness does allow God to do greater things in our lives. Our faithfulness to God allows us to understand the problems we face. Our faithful-

ness to God allows us to go on when others quit. Our faithfulness to God gives us peace of mind in a turbulent world. Our faithfulness establishes the direction of our life. It is by faith that we accept Jesus as our personal savior. It is by faith that we live each day. It is by faith we wait for the soon return of our Lord to take us from this troubled world. Yes, our faithfulness allows us to enjoy the countless blessings of God as God pours out His faithfulness upon each o us.

I am thankful for the faithfulness of God. I am thankful that God never fails. I am thankful that the promises of God are a sure foundation for life. And it is by the faithfulness of God’s Word that I have assurance that God can and will do all that He has promised. To God be the Glory now and forever.

I have prayed for you this morning. I pray that you are enjoying the faithfulness of God daily as you are faithful to Him.

Views from the Skies Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly referred to for better or worse as drones, have been utilized in the agricultural industry for years now. Since 2016, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has registered UAVs for commercial and recreational flight. At the start, agriculture saw potential for drone use in checking crop health and observing livestock. Adoption began slowly due to the rules around flight, but farmers and advisors have not waned in their use over time.

If one decides to purchase a UAV for personal use, one has to commit to recreational or commercial flight. Recreational flight is rather limited, as one can use the drone only for the love of flight or per-

sonal photography. Farm use falls firmly in the commercial flight category, as would flight for insurance or real estate purposes. In either event, the drone has to registered with the FAA, and the registration number must be prominently displayed on the UAV. If using for commercial purposes, a Remote Pilot certification must also be obtained by passing a test and registering for the certification. The test is not easy, as knowledge of sectional charts, METAR, and other traditional aviation skills must be mastered. Last year, the FAA announced that recreational fliers will also have to pass a knowledge test at some point, although the test and certification requirements has not been unveiled as of this writing.

In the agricultural industry,

certified pilots are becoming easier to find. Co-ops, seed and chemical companies, research stations, and other organizations in the industry generally have a pilot within their ranks, and more and more farmers themselves are becoming licensed pilots. Identifying crop diseases, nutrient deficiencies, weather-related damage, and just avoiding walking through knee-high beans are all reasons UAVs have been widely adopted for row crop use. On a more limited scale, pasture-based operations can use UAVs to inspect livestock from a distance, determine any erratic behavior, or simply scout over a large area.

As of January 11, the FAA noted over half a million drones registered for commercial use, with over 208,000 registered commercial pilots.

To learn more about UAVs or prepare to become a pilot, a two-day class has been scheduled to begin at the Posey County Community Center on February 25. To register, head over to https://www. cvent.com/d/v7qt3v. For more information on UAVs or for assistance in registering, contact Hans at the Purdue Extension â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Posey County office via hschmitz@purdue.edu or 812838-1331.

THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS - PAGE A9

Second round of COVID grants available here through Feb. 24

By Lois Mittino Gray Small business owners in Mount Vernon may benefit once again from COVID-19 grant monies funded by OCRA, the Office of Community and Rural Affairs. Members of the Mount Vernon Common Council passed a resolution authorizing Mayor Bill Curtis to submit an application for Phase 3 of the COVID relief program. The resolution, number 21-05, passed unanimously at the January 14, evening Zoom meeting of the council.

The new resolution gives the Mayor permission to sign papers allowing the Southwest Indiana Economic Development Coalition to turn in a grant application for Covid-19 Grant Phase 3, and to move forward with that process. Submissions are due February 24 and grant recipients will be announced in March or April. Debbie Stearsman, an EDC representative, told council members at their last meeting this third round will be very competitive for the $250,000 grant. It requires no matching funds from applicant cities and towns.

The city received a Phase 2 grant last fall for $250,000 from OCRA. 51 small businesses

applied for the relief funds and received a total award of $4,779.41 each. Some of the remaining money from the grant is used to pay processing services provided by the Office of Community Development of Southwest Indiana.

Other legal items on the agenda involved doing some routine beginning of the year business. City Attorney Beth Higgins announced the council needs to designate a newspaper for council publications for 2021. Councilman David Dodd moved it be the Posey County News and the motion passed unanimously. PCN was also designated the newspaper for the Water Utility Board business, too.

Annual resolutions authorizing the use of signature stamps for the Clerk-Treasurer passed (21-03) and for the Mayor, Common Council Members, Members of the Board of Public Works and Safety, and Water Utility Board (21-04). Higgins added since they have conducted meetings via Zoom for some time and may still do so for a while, members may want to get those stamps, if something has already been approved.

Under Old Business, the Mayor informed council members that contracts on the 1888 Main Building (Tresslar Building) have been signed, the bond procured, notice to proceed issued, and permit from IDEM obtained.

Residents should start to see some action next week. The Klenck Company, the contractors who won the bid to demolish the aged structure, are going to start near Bud’s Hardware with the hand work first. There should be no disruptions in business.

Councilman Rusty Levings asked if Klenck has indicated if it will be able to save the 1888 date at the top of the building. Curtis replied, “They promised to take a look at it, but I’m sure it will depend at that point on how the building actually comes down.” Levings was satisfied that they will at least try to consider the idea. “If they can, they can,” he observed.

The Mayor recounted the following story of his last visit to the Tresslar Building. “Hopefully, this will be a piece of cake for them to take down. I walked through it last week with five guys who came here from the company.

They told me a story of how they took down

the top four stories of a five story building very quietly. The bottom story, the first floor, was a MRI imaging office that never had to close down while the work was being done. “ Curtis continued with Old Business by stating they are still working on the phone system and the computers; Mort is working on the webpage, and the doors at City Hall have been installed to the satisfaction of everyone.

Under New Business, Dodd was reappointed to the Posey County Economic Development Partnership for 2021. Curtis stated they will continue with Zoom meetings for now. When the county gets their video system worked out, they will see how meetings might go from there.

During the Water Utility Board meeting held before the Common Council meeting, Utilities Superintendent Chuck Gray only reported, “Everything is running as well as can be expected.” The board paid claims and approved minutes and passed Resolution 21-02 authorizing the early payment of claims to avoid late fees, or interest, or to take advantage of special discounts.

‘Teacher’ continued from Page A1 bid on at the annual auction fundraiser. Every grade does a group project to be auctioned. “We have a couple parents helping us put together ours.

They are taking pictures of each student’s folded hands, as if they are praying. The hand images in the shape of a cross will be put into a frame,” Sellers described.

This year, the auction is called the “Siesta Before the Fiesta” because it will be all virtual, with a promise of a live event and party to come back next

year. The virtual live auction is slated for March 6 at 7 p.m. with Andy Winiger as the auctioneer. A silent auction will also be held, starting February 20 until March 4. Many raffles are being planned, too.

For more information on how to watch the events or to purchase raffle tickets, call the Parish Office Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“I am so glad that I found this school. It is a good fit for me. I hope I will still be here for many years to come,” she speculated.

‘Grabert,’ continued from Page A1 clared. “There is nothing else I would rather do with my life. I knew this when I started. Nursing school is hard, but worth it.”

Amber says her current position, gathering medical information for the two Infectious Disease physicians she works for at AscensionSaint Vincent, is a great one. She works with patients in the hospital, as well as in outpatient offices. “That way I can still see my hospital patients and have regular office hours so I can be home for my children.”

She and her husband, Chris, have two daughters, Brookelyn, age 8 and Braelyn, age twoand-a-half. She participates in their many activities, and is busy being a farm wife with its many chores. Wehr wrote in her letter, “She is a devoted Auntie, a Notre Dame and Florida Gators fan, and a lover of fall weather and campfires.”

The Mount Vernon Chapter of BPW is celebrating its 74th year in existence (1947-2021).

Besides Coleman already mentioned, Cindy Reagan serves as Vice-President; Treasurer is Lisa Seitz, Secretary is Keely Winiger, Historian duties are performed by Amy Smith, and Parliamentarian is Susan Marshall. The group meets the second Thursday of every month, September through June, often in homes or local clubs.

Each year the organization donates two scholarships, valued at $1,000 each, to a young woman graduating from North Posey and Mount Vernon High Schools. Members also donate to a family or families in need during the holiday each year, along with multiple smaller donations to organizations during the year.

“We always welcome new members and encourage women who might be interested to follow our Facebook page for more information concerning upcoming meetings,” Historian Smith wrote in invitation.

‘New Harmony’ continued from Page A1 Brewery to East Street. The total price of the project is $92,411.80.

Council members discussed a proposal to add solar lighting and landscaping to the town sign. Efroymsom grant funds, money donated by the Efroymsom Family Fund for beatification projects in New Harmony, will be used towards the cost of the project.

Robin Lewis gave council members a mock-up of what the project would look like once completed. The council asked Lewis to gather additional information about a proposed Norway Spruce tree that she said she would like to see planted behind the sign, looking for assurances that the tree’s roots would not interfere with existing buried water, sewage and gas lines.

Other items discussed were: The council voted 4-1 to approve final wording on a food truck ordinance that limits operating hours to 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and requires a $50 per occasion, non-refundable application fee.

Blaylock was authorized to prepare and submit an application for the next phase of Covid relief grant funding for New Harmony small businesses.

The council voted to award a $7,875 contract to West Sys-

tems for the Keystone Maintenance System, the billing system the town uses for utilities.

An application from Horseshoe Bend Carriage was approved allowing the company

Hey!

to provide carriage rides. The town agreed to provide manure bags for all carriages.

Council members also voted to surplus a 1988 dump truck.

to receive the grant will be greater this time, so the Council would like to encourage local business owners to prepare letters of support in this regard to submit with the town’s application for the $200,000 grant.

A discussion of a water grant application was also on the agenda. The town is still eligible to apply for an OCRA (Office of Community and Rural Affairs) Grant for such need in May, with recipients to be announced in June. In the event such grant is not awarded to the town in June, the town would be eligible to compete in the Fall round of grants as well.

In preparation for applying for an OCRA Grant, the town is moving forward with an engineering study regarding a nitrate corrective action plan to accompany its grant application. The town’s water utility

has been working closely with IDEM and the Council agreed that improvements to such utility is a priority. The main objective is to improve the system without another increase in water utility rates. While the town’s sewer utility is also in need of funds, the water system must remain a priority.

Donna Nash appeared before the Council on behalf of the Poseyville Cemetery Board to discuss maintenance issues of the cemetery. Members of the Cemetery Board had discussed the town’s proposal to have town personnel maintain the cemetery and agreed that this would be in compliance with the Cemetery Board’s agreement with the town.

The local fire department’s new Chief, Austin Ahrens, presented the Council with a copy of the department’s newly voted upon operating procedures,

which procedures were approved by the Council as well.

Ahrens also submitted the applications of six new firefighters: Derek Collins, Trenton Englert, Reed Heathcotte, Jace Brandenstein, Levi Hyatt, and Dalton Cox, all of whom were approved by the Council.

The Council approved a financial report for the Community Center, submitted by Bernie Fehribach, indicating that 3,526 individuals had attended events at the Center in 2019. Baker asked that the town communicate with the health department to make the Center available as a vaccination location, if needed.

The next meeting of the Council will be held Tuesday, February 9, 2021, at 5:30 p.m.

It will be a virtual meeting, with information to be posted on the town’s Facebook page prior to the meeting.

Mount Vernon School Board tends to financial matters

By Lois Mittino Gray Mount Vernon School Superintendent Matt Thompson called the annual meeting of the District Board of Finance to order on January 18. After he conducted the election of Beth McFadin Higgins as Finance Board President, she handily took over and conducted the election of Mark Isaac as Secretary and ran through annual fiscal business.

The Mount Vernon School Board of Trustees is required by law to organize as a Board of Finance after the first Monday and before the last day in January. The Board of Finance reviewed and acknowledged the 2020 investment officer’s yearly report and reviewed the district’s overall investment policy. This included a Scholarship Fund Investment of Tri-Kappa which generated $477.31 in interest at a 2.6 percent on $9,179. Investments in the Education Fund on the checking account generated $98,312.72 in annual interest. Investments on the checking account for the Construction Fund produced $449.77 in interest.

All investments are with United Fidelity Bank.

The board accepted the list of five local depositories that can be used for investments throughout the year as recommended.

Five are located or have branches within the MSD of Mount Vernon’s boundaries. They are: United Fidelity Bank, Fifth Third Bank, Old National Bank, First National Bank of Carmi, and Crane Credit Union.

The third annual action is to review the 2019 fiscal indicators

report of the school corporation’s overall financial condition as required. It is provided by the Distressed Unit Appeals Board (DUAB). The 2020-2021 ADM Student Count (average daily membership) is listed as 2,001 students. The 2020 Net Assessed Value is listed as $1,428,267,722 on it.

In other board action after the annual Board of Finance meeting: • adopted a transfer of funds certificate and resolution for account transfers to balance out the 2020 fund budgets. Director of Business Loren Evans said only two transfers were necessary this year. In the Education Fund, $27,510.53 was moved from 21000 to 22000 and $31,393.34 was moved from 21000 to 24000. “These transfers will ensure that all budget accounts of budgeted tax funds will finish the year with non-negative appropriation,” he said.

• confirmed the employment of Laura Kuhn as a study hall teacher assistant at the high school, replacing Amber Howard.

Kuhn worked as a special education teacher assistant at the junior high school from 2014 to 2016. The board also accepted the resignation of Ramon Quiles as a food service worker at the junior high, effective immediately.

• adopted a resolution permitting Larry Steinhart, Cody Ungetheim, and Ashton Wagner to attend the virtual social studies textbook fair held on January 19-20. There is no expense to MSD other than the cost of a substitute.

• granted permission to the Posey County Cornbelters Baseball to use the high school gym on the following two Sundays for practice for their travel team: February 7 and 21 from 4 to 6 p.m. This is a recently-formed team consisting of several Mount Vernon and North Posey 11-year-olds. Sundays are their only option as the auxiliary gym is not available to them on Saturday and baseball groups are not allowed in the main gym to preserve the floor.

• The Self-Insurance Fund annual report for 2020 showed an ending cash balance for the year of 2,343,931.16. This figure is up considerably from January 2020, when it was 1,642,878.34 at month’s end.

• Other information presented to the board by Thompson included tax draw summary, property and casualty insurance premium history, school menus, vaccine availability, and the in-service day.

• Thompson announced Wednesday, February 10 as Kindergarten Roundup Day. The rain date is February 17. Presidents Day will be a no school day on Monday, February 15.

• Extracurricular Financial Reports are available for review in the Superintendent’s Office for the period of June 1–November 30, 2020 for school extracurricular accounts and for the period of July 1– November 30, 2020 for the School Lunch Fund.

• The next board meeting is slated for Monday, February 1 at 5:45 p.m. in the high school media center.

Lady Wildcat swimmers are dominant in first PAC tourney

By Trisha L. Lopez Mount Vernon girls swimming claimed its first Pocket Athletic Conference title on Saturday, winning 10 out of 12 events and setting three new conference records.

The Lady Wildcats out-scored second-place Tell City, who defeated Mount Vernon by two points on January 9, 255-183 to make a strong statement in their first year as members of the PAC. Rounding out the standings were: Heritage Hills, 149; Southridge, 144; Gibson Southern, 155; Tecumseh, 80; Pike Central, 73; Boonville, 62; South Spencer, 20; and Forests Park, 3.

“There is a new animal in the PAC and it’s a wildcat!” Head Coach Stephen Loehr said. “What a great effort today by our girls.

They were focused from the time we got there and all through the meet. I couldn’t be any more proud.”

The Wildcats set the tone from the meet’s first event, with Jamie Glover, Kaleigh Kelley, Sophie Kloppenburg and Hannah Durham winning the 200 yard medley relay with a time of 1:54.58, four seconds ahead of runner-up Tell City.

Mount Vernon was just getting started.

Jamie Glover picked up her second win of the meet in the night’s second event, the 200 yard freestyle (1:59.47). Julien Glover finished in seventh place. Jamie Glover’s third win came in the 500 yard freestyle. Glover finished in 5:23.86, almost 20 seconds ahead of Abigail James from Boonville.

Krissy Bazan won the 200 yard IM with a time of 2:12.44, 12 seconds ahead of Gibson Southern’s Tierney Maurer. Emily Hueftle finished third.

Sophie Kloppenburg edged out Claire Hentrup from Southridge by .04 seconds to take the 50 yard freestyle and set a new PAC record (25.46), for her second event win. Kloppenburg added another win in the 100 yard freestyle (53.96).

Kelley picked up her second win of the meet in the 100 yard butterfly (1:00.24). Julien Glover finished seventh. Kelley won the 100 yard breast with a new PAC record time of 1:08.20. Abbi Bazan finished fifth. Hueftle finished seventh.

The relay team of Julien Glover, Durham, Krissy Bazan, and Kloppenburg won the 200 yard freestyle (1:43.99). Julien Glover, Jamie Glover, Krissy Bazan and Kelley won the 400 yard free (3:47.19), beating the second place relay team from Gibson Southern by almost 15 seconds and setting the team’s third new PAC record of the meet.

Winning conference was a goal that Loehr set for his team before the season began, but the Wildcats want more.

“This was a great meet for us to help get focused for sectionals and hopefully state,” Loehr said.

Loehr plans to spend the next two weeks focusing on setting his swimmers up for a successful postseason run.

“We will work very hard this coming week on doing distance sets. Then we start to taper off the second week with heavy focus on starts and turns. At sectionals, we have to put our swimmers in the events that will give them the best chance to move on,” Loehr explained. “It is exciting to think of the possibilities, especially after the PACs, but we still have some work to do. There are a lot of fast swimmers at sectionals.”

Mount Vernon swimmer Jamie Glover swims a leg in one of the relays during this weekend’s Pocket Athletic Conference championships. The Wildcats won 10-of-12 events to take the title hands down. This year’s team is extremely talented but faces a lack of depth heading into the sectional.

By Chris Morlan The North Posey Lady Viking basketball team is on a winning streak. Monday, January 18, North Posey traveled to play against the Washington Catholic Lady Cardinals in search of another win for the season.

Washington Catholic came into this game at 1-12. On Thursday, January 14, the Lady Cardinals defeated Cannelton 52-41 on the road for their first win of the season. North Posey also had a 1-12 season record prior to this matchup. North Posey got their first win on Wednesday, January 13 at home against Evansville Harrison. The Lady Vikings defeated the Lady Warriors 75-30.

North Posey jumped out on Washington Catholic early in the first quarter and led 16-4 after the first eight minutes of the game.

The Lady Vikings kept up the momentum in the second quarter and went to the halftime break on a 30-15 advantage. During the second half, the Lady Viking defense nearly held the Lady Cardinals scoreless in the final two quarters of the game. North Posey outscored Washington Catholic 21-2 in the second half and went on to win 51-17. North Posey is on a two-game win streak.

“Great team effort by the girls,” North Posey Coach Waylon Schenk said. “Everyone made the best of the opportunities they got. We executed better against the zone and did a much better job, especially in the second half of being disciplined and playing defense with our feet.”

Claire Koester led the Lady Vikings in scoring with 15 points.

Haley Hodge finished the game with 11 points. Hodge had three, three-point baskets in the game. Jenna Rhineburger scored eight points for North Posey. Maya Cline led Washington Catholic in scoring with six points.

“We have not wrestled in three weeks and had 90 percent of our team in quarantine for two weeks. I could tell we were rusty,” Alcorn said. “I felt like we had good performances from Zack Bulkley at 113 (pounds) and Mason Suits at 120 (pounds). Two freshmen wrestling in their first conference had some really nice wins. I was proud of the effort from our heavyweight Hayden Huss. He was basically wrestling on one leg and showed a lot of guts. And obviously we were very happy for Brady at 170 (pounds).

He overcame a bad call and a pretty serious cut on his face to pull off a take down with 10 seconds left to win his first conference title. He had been out for a month, but looked very sharp despite the time The Wildcat Youth Basketball Association completed its first youth basketball season. away from the mat.”

The Farmersville Elementary fourth grade boys basketball team finished an undefeated 7-0.

Wildcats compete but fail to find ‘W’ over the weekend

Mount Vernon Wildcat Jaden Wilson goes in for the floater during action Saturday at Perry Central in Leopold, Ind. Photo by Garry Beeson virtual learning and canceled all athletics until

By Trisha L. Lopez Mount Vernon boys basketball struggled to February. Mount Vernon picked up Evansville build on the momentum from a big win over North, whose game against Bloomington North Evansville Central a week ago, falling Friday at was also canceled, Thursday afternoon.

The Huskies proved to be a matchup problem home to Evansville North and Saturday at Perry for the Wildcats from the get-go. Evansville Central.

The Wildcats were scheduled to face Evans- North shooters were hot all night, hitting 12 ville Christian on Friday, but the game was threes and they took care of the ball, committing canceled when Evansville Christian switched to only five turnovers en route to an 87-53 victory

at Mount Vernon.

“Evansville North is just a heck of a ball club,” Wildcats Head Coach Joe Newcomb said.

“They present matchup issues all over the floor and that was evident in the score Friday night.”

He said that while he thought his team did some good things offensively, “we missed 16 free throws and a handful of layups throughout.

We obviously have to be better than that to win ball games.”

Free throw shooting has been an issue for the Wildcats. Through the first eight games this season, Mount Vernon is shooting 49 percent from the free throw line.

Senior Kaleb Dosher and junior Jaden Wilson led the Wildcats in scoring with 12 points each.

Other scorers were: senior Brock Veatch, 8 points and 5 rebounds; freshman Nicot Burnett, 6 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block; junior Leo Hostetter, 6 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists; junior Fischer Epley, 5 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 1 steal; and senior Noah Gordon, 4 points, 16 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

The Wildcats traveled to Leopold on Saturday to face Perry Central.

Mount Vernon fell behind early, but rallied.

Buckets by Dosher, Gordon and Veatch kept the Wildcats close, ending the first quarter down 14-9, but turnovers plagued the team all night.

Back to back baskets by Veatch and Burnett pulled the Wildcats to within two points and a pair of free throws from Dosher tied the game 15-15 with 6:45 remaining in the first half, but the Commodores refused to back down. Down 27-21 with 1:40 remaining in the half, Gordon scored, grabbed a defensive rebound and added another bucket underneath to pull to within two points. Perry Central hit a three to close out the half, 30-25.

Dosher started the second half with a three for the Wildcats, but Perry Central scored seven unanswered points to pull ahead 37-28 with 4:12 remaining in the third quarter. Dosher hit another three, but the Commodores took over in the third quarter, out-scoring the Wildcats 16-9.

Mount Vernon came out stronger in the fourth quarter, but they couldn’t stop Perry Central, falling 62-53.

“We just had too many unforced errors on the

offensive end. We had too many turnovers, several by us just not being tough enough with the ball,” Newcomb said. “I thought Perry Central was just tougher than us. They took four charges, had several offensive rebounds at key moments and made winning plays, especially in the third quarter. We have to be better and we have to expect more out of each other.”

The Wildcats are averaging 16 turnovers per game this season.

Gordon led the Wildcats with 20 points, 11 rebounds and 1 block. Dosher had 18 points and 3 rebounds. Other scorers were: Veatch, 6 points, 2 rebounds; Burnett, 6 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists; and Wilson, 3 points and 4 rebounds.

Newcomb said Burnett was a stand out last week. He said Burnett has “settled in and is really playing well for us on both ends the last three games.”

“He has been a great spark for us off the bench and has done a great job of coming in with energy and playing hard when he has been in the game,” Newcomb said.

The Wildcats, 3-6 overall and 2-2 in PAC play have a busy week ahead. They travel to Wood Memorial on Tuesday, host Tell City Friday and will be back on the road again at Pike Central on Saturday.

“Bottom line is they are all tough games. We have to be ready to play each and every night and if we aren’t, we will get beat,” Newcomb said. “Wood Memorial just got out of quarantine. Tell City will be their first game out of quarantine and Pike Central has been close in their last couple games. I feel like we have an opportunity ahead of us that is really important, but we have to focus on things that we can control on Monday and get better in practice so we are ready to perform Tuesday and then focus on getting better Wednesday and Thursday in practice.”

Newcomb said leadership will be a key factor in determining how successful the Wildcats can be moving forward.

“I am looking for our guys to step up and lead on another,” he said. “I feel for us to take the next step forward, we need some buys to step up and hold each other accountable and be leaders on and off the floor.”

points and 1 rebound; sophomore Lera Wilson with 2 points, 4 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal and sophomore Bailey Cox, 2 points and 1 rebound.

The Lady Wildcats put up just 4 points in the first half against Tecumseh on Thursday. They came out stronger after the break, but the Lady Braves, 7-3 overall and 4-1 in the PAC, held Mount Vernon to 12 points in the second half in the 59-16 defeat.

Steinhart led the Wildcats with 5 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. Nurrenbern had 5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal.

Other stat leaders for the Wildcats were: Wilson, 3 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal;

senior Catherine Batteiger, 2 points and 1 steal; and sophomore Grace Schroeder with 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 blocks and 1 steal.

imi Concrete expansion project planned for Posey County

By Lois Mittino Gray “We want to be a bigger and better presence in Posey County with a high quality product,” stated Tyler Stanley, Operations Manager of imi Concrete, a division of Irving Materials, Inc. “We’re starting right now with our plan.”

The plan and any obstacles to it were approved at the Area Plan Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals meetings on Thursday, January 14. A quorum approved special use for a concrete plant and screening variances on the approximately 1,926 acre property. With all permits in place, the work was underway.

The company, local suppliers of ready-made concrete, has already started on its extensive plan to redo its facility. It is located on property bordering Sycamore and Kimball Streets in Mount Vernon. “We’re just going to put in a whole new plant which will serve customers better in the county. We are going to demolish and remove the old plant sometime this week or next.

We’ll come in and set a new one down in the same configuration on the same property,” Stanley explained.

The present pole-barn type building on the site will be converted into what Stanley called a “batch office.” The rest of it will be used to store the company’s front end loader and other items and supplies. “There are two bays in there which the city

Street Department is still welcome to use,” the manager explained. “They will have to move the city packer truck out of there though.”

Mount Vernon Street Commissioner Max Dieterle told the Mount Vernon Board of Works at a meeting two weeks ago that he will need to find the truck a new home. It was being stored there after a Street Department storage building burned in a fire.

“I thought I would have a little more time to find a place for it, but as soon as the APC approved the plan, the company jumped on starting it and they were starting to make supply deliveries

for the construction work,” he remarked.

The big packer truck was moved out this week and is stored with the other one at another location. A few pieces of equipment the city owns are still stored in the bays that they can use in the imi building. Dieterle plans to build a new storage building for it with funds he has established in accounts from prior building sales, but it will take 45 days to release the monies.

Stanley hopes that work on the entire project will be completed by April 1. He stressed that any resident, farmer, business or service group can buy product from the local company.

“Anyone can come and get our concrete. Swing by the office at 1210 Sycamore Street in Mount Vernon or give us a call.”

The company describes itself as a building materials supplier operating throughout the Midwest and the southern U.S. “We produce and deliver ready mix concrete in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, southwestern Ohio, southeastern Illinois, and northern Alabama. We sell concrete sealers, concrete finishing products, and bin blocks at our local locations. Please call ahead for bin block sales.” The local number is 812-424-3551.

Doing so, you may just get one of those ‘twirly trucks’ swirling down your street with fresh concrete for your spring projects.

Hank is a hero - A man and his dog help local damsel in distress

By Charles Gaston Hank is a Hero Who in the world is Hank anyhow? There was Hank Williams, a singer even now a famous movie star Hank. No reader... this is a 21-pound terrier mix with beagle legs, and white color. Yes, this is your New Harmony Hero.

It came to pass in the last day of December in the late evening just at freezing. By the way my name is Charles Gaston owner of Hank, living on 325 Tavern Street in an 1860 brick home. I have lived here since 1998, so I am not pulling your leg.

This cold afternoon everyone in the neighborhood is closed up listening or watching television. I am the only one without a television-but glued to the radio listing to the Indiana bowl game.

Hank suddenly was aware Charles Gaston and his dog, “Hero Hank” sit on one of the of an unusual sound coming benches in New Harmony. Photo by Theresa Bratcher

through his radar hearing. We humans cannot come close to their fine sensory system.

Hank with his ears in the alert position, left his cozy dog bed next to the gas heater, rushed to my Lincoln rocker and began jumping and putting his long claws deep into my thigh.

This was way beyond his usual behavior.

Thinking Henry Means was bringing a treat to ole Hank (9 years) I rushed to the back door, no Henry, but Hank rushed out and headed to my neighbor to the west, Phyllis Westfall. In the meantime I was hearing calls for help from her back door. Boy did Hank and I move fast. I hurled the back fence and fell flat just as Rex Morris did the previous day. It took Bill Pruitt and I to lift him up (I can count on Rex going down once a week).

Come on Charlie you are getting away from the most exciting part of the story.

The back door was ajar and

there laid Phyllis flat out, just exhausted with on use of her right arm.

She started by giving me the details, in the meantime I find her phone to call her daughter Angin who just moved here from Hawaii. Living on Main Street without a car she rushed over on her bicycle. In the meantime, I made Phyllis comfortable.

It had started with the collapse of the aluminum ladder in the bathroom. She started on her third journey to the back door with wooden floor she pushed and pulled her way (with useless, painful right arm) down the long hall to the living room, a hard right to the dining room to adjoining kitchen then a hard turn from kitchen to narrow back hallway to the back door. Here was Phyllis’ biggest challenge...how was she to open the back door lying flat on her back?

Okay gentle reader, put yourself in her place cannot

reach with right arm and left was useless putting pressure on the right.

Phyllis watches a lot of television. I am sure she saw a scene where you could open the back door with your bare foot (with luck she was). After all we are descedents of the apes. Here’s where Hank picked up her signal for help.

Finally, Angin arrives both of us move her in the kitchen and set her up against the wall, but not without loud screams and funny words.

Meanwhile a call to our very efficient fire and rescue. Within minutes the kitchen was loaded with male help. Hank and I slowly disappeared into the winter evening.

She is recovering from a broken bone. And gentle reader as Judge Redwine always says in his column, do you swear this is the truth.

So New Harmony reach out and help your neighbor, no matter what the need.

North Elementary boys finish out successful season this week

By Chris Morlan The North Elementary fifth and sixth grade boys’ basketball teams played their final games of the season last week. Last Wednesday morning, it was announced that the Stars basketball season was over. North Elementary ended their season a few weeks earlier than schedules due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

That means, there will be no “Battle of Big Creek” this year between North Elementary and South Terrace at North Posey High School. In the past, it was the final game of the season for both schools. That was a game many looked forward to watching each year for bragging rights between the two schools.

Last week, on Monday, January 18, the North Elementary fifth grade team played against the Fort Branch Twigs in their final basketball game of the season. The Stars came to play and defeated the Twigs 30-23. Dylan Murphy led the Stars in scoring with a game-high of 21 points. Landon Huff finished the game with five points.

J Leslie Wright Authorized Representative Midwest Fertilizer Corporation 317-2967707 ext. 105 Published in the Posey County News on January 26, 2021 - hspaxlp 2021-17 LEGAL NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING – DES#1601062 Proposed Roadway Rehabilitation on SR 65 in Cynthiana, IN The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) and its Consultant WSP will host a public hearing on February 4, 2021, at Fair Haven Christ Fellowship, 10500 Highway 68, Cynthiana, IN. The hearing will begin at 6:00 p.m. The doors will open to the public at 5:00 p.m. to view project materials and ask questions before the hearing begins. This public hearing will also be streamed live on the Indiana Department of Transportation Southwest Facebook page.

The purpose of the public hearing is to offer all interested persons an opportunity to comment on current preliminary design plans to rehabilitate State Road (SR) 65 in Cynthiana, Posey County. The purpose of the project is to extend the service life of the roadway and provide safe travel along SR 65 by addressing the pavement and drainage deficiencies of the existing pavement.

The project is located on SR 65, from approximately 0.6 miles south of the west junction with SR 68 to the east junction with SR 68. The total project length is approximately two miles. This section of SR 65 is classified as a Major Collector, consisting of two 12-foot travel lanes, with approximately 12-foot shoulders on the southern end, and no shoulders throughout the rest of the project area. The existing pavement on SR 65 has many locations with base failures as well as surface cracking. A portion of the pavement section failed in the past, requiring an emergency road closure to patch the roadway. There are also drainage, sidewalk, and turning radii deficiencies associated with SR 65. INDOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) intend to proceed with a combination of fulldepth pavement replacement and hot mix asphalt (HMA) overlay on SR 65. The project will build a new urban cross section including curb, gutter, and sidewalks through the limits of the full depth replacement. Profile modifications to improve drainage, where feasible, will be implemented. Pavement widening and approach radii where truck turning movements are inadequate will also be modified, where feasible.

The Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plan for the project is under development. A preliminary MOT plan will be presented at the public hearing. Access to all properties will be maintained during construction. INDOT will coordinate with emergency services, local school corporation officials and project stakeholders to ensure potential disruptions and impacts are minimized as much as possible. The project will require approximately 0.7 acre of permanent new right-of-way, in addition to approximately 2.0 acre of temporary right-of-way during construction.

Attendees are advised that face coverings and adherence to Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines for social distancing are recommended.

Federal and state funds are proposed to be used for this construction project.

INDOT and the FHWA have agreed that this project poses minimal impact to the natural environment. A Categorical Exclusion, Level 2 (CE-2) environmental document has been prepared for the project. The environmental documentation and preliminary design information is available to view prior to the public hearing at the following location: Cynthiana Town Hall 10765 Main Street Cynthiana, IN 47612 A project webpage will also be created prior to the public hearing to ensure project information is available online at https://www.in.gov/indot/4167.htm. Project information, including the environmental document, may be requested by mail upon request.

Public statements for the record will be taken as part of the public hearing procedure. All verbal statements recorded during the public hearing and all written comments submitted prior to, during and for a period of two (2) weeks following the hearing date, will be evaluated, considered and addressed in subsequent environmental documentation.

The section in need of repair is approximately 1.044 miles long. It extends from a point approximately 1300 feet east of St. Wendel/Cynthiana Rd and runs to the confluence with Big Creek. The banks have begun to collapse and have begun to erode the agricultural fields. The work to be performed will be to remove any brush/ trees from the banks, correct any wash-ins, doglegs, and deviations from the existing channel, and grade the banks of both sides to a minimum 2:1 slope. There is a section approximately 1500 feet long that is heavily wooded. The easement must be cleared back to 30 feet from the top of the bank. Spoil shall be spread within 30 ft of the top of the bank within the Right of Way. Brush and debris may be burned, ground up, or hauled off at the discretion of the contractor. Bank shall be seeded from the water line to the edge of the 30 ft Right of Way with a rye/fescue blend wherever dirt has been disturbed.

Care will be taken to avoid damaging any existing tile and drainpipes. Utilities must be located prior to the beginning of work.

Published in the Posey County News on January 26, 2021 - hspaxlp 2021-37 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED INCREASE IN WATER AND WASTEWATER RATES AND CHARGES FOR CYNTHIANA WATER WORKS Consumers of the water and wastewater utilities of Cynthiana Water Works of the Town of Cynthiana, Indiana (hereinafter “Cynthiana” or “Town”), are hereby notified that the Town Council will conduct a public hearing at 5:00 p.m. local time on February 8, 2021, regarding a proposed rate increase to water and wastewater rates and charges. The public hearing will be held at Town Hall, which is located at 10765 Main Street, Cynthiana, Indiana.

Following the conclusion of the public hearing, the Town Council will consider the final adoption of an Ordinance increasing water and wastewater rates and charges. At the public hearing and prior to the final adoption of the Ordinance, all interested persons may appear and be heard. Interested persons may also communicate their objections or other concerns in writing to the Clerk-Treasurer at PO Box 95, Cynthiana, Indiana 47612); said written communications must be received either before the public hearing or tendered at the time of the public hearing.

The complete text of the proposed Ordinance is on file and available for examination and copying at the office of the Clerk-Treasurer located at Town Hall during regular business hours, and will be available at the public hearing.

While the Town is not regulated by the IURC, it adopts and references 170 IAC 6-5-4’s definition of “water tracker” as “...the procedure available...to recover an increase or a decrease in costs associated with purchased water due to a change in the supplier’s rates”.

German Township Water District (hereinafter “GTWD”) provides water to Cynthiana Waterworks, which then, in turn, distributes it to consumers of Cynthiana Water Works. GTWD is either currently pursuing a rate increase or has recently adopted a rate increase. Similarly, Poseyville Municipal Utilities (hereinafter “PMU”) processes all of Cyntiana Waterworks’ wastewater. PMU will, from time to time, raise rates on wastewater.

The proposed rate increase, which is in the form of a tracker, will raise water rates by 1.3% of any subsequent increase imposed by GTWD and will raise wastewater rates by 1.3% of any subsequent increase imposed by PMU. In addition to applying to any subsequent increase, this increase shall also apply to any GTWD increase imposed within the last three months. This proposed tracker will replace any and all prior trackers.

The rate-increase Ordinance, should it be approved, will apply to the March and subsequent bills.
