Republicans dominate Posey’s city, town elections

By Dave Pearce On Tuesday evening, following last week’s general election, Posey County candidates realized it was a good night to be a Republican in Posey County. Nearly every Republican candidate who could win did just that.

Once an almost exclusively Democratic County, the voters in Posey County have obviously seen a reason to elect candidates from the other side of the political fence in recent elections. Tuesday’s results indicated a continuation of that.

Mount Vernon’s top two offices were claimed by incumbent Democratic Mayor Bill Curtis and Democrat Clerk-treasurer Cristi Sitzman in winning the voters’ confidence for four more years in office. Neither candidate faced an opponent. But in the contested races,

Republicans won. As a matter of fact, Curtis and Sitzman will be working with a City Council that is completely Republican.

In the election for City Council at Large, newcomer Jillian Brothers defeated incumbent Becky Higgins 644-541 while in District One, newcomer David Dodd defeated incumbent Mark Pharr 101-81. In District Two, prominent Mount Vernon businessman and incumbent Larry Williams was defeated by another newcomer on the political scene. Dana Baldwin was elected 161-141. In District Three, incumbent Republican Andy Hoehn will serve another term after a 195-130 win over Posey County Democratic Party Chair Ed Adams. In District Four, Rusty Levings defeated incumbent Mark Clements in his first attempt at running for political office.

Posey County Republican Party Chairman Greg Newman was obviously happy with the election results.

“Throughout the county, we did very well so we were very pleased with the results,” Newman said regarding this election as well as the past three or four. So what has turned the table?

“I feel like we have had very good candidates,” Newman said. “Many of them have not been a part of the political process and they are getting involved because they want to make a difference, whether it be in Mount Vernon, New Harmony, or Posey County in general.

That is the first reason.”

In New Harmony, nine candidates sought the five seats on the Town Council. The top vote-getter was Democrat Virginia Alsop who was aligned with three other incumbents in

the town’s election. Alsop garnered 207 of the roughly 300 ballots cast while newcomer and Republican Tom Williams was second with 192 votes. Incumbents Roger wade (191 votes) and Alvin Blaylock (184 votes) joined fellow incumbent Gary Watson (172 votes) to round out the Council. Political newcomer Republican Rod Clark finished with 151 votes while a former Town Board President David Campbell received 120 votes. Democrat incumbent David Flanders received 113 votes and Dan Mason garnered 54 votes. Town Clerk-Treasurer Karla Atkins was unopposed and received 191 votes.

New Harmony’s elected peaked the interest of the public this time around as the townspeople had a larger selection of candidates than

MV two-year teacher deal is sealed as MV staff sees more pay

Operation Guillotine complete with arrest of Tiyo Lewis in Ohio

By Lois Mittino Gray Teachers in the Mount Vernon School District will be given an early Christmas present when state money from a Teacher Appreciation Grant is doled out to them in their first paycheck in December. Director of Business Loren Evans explained that the $74,000 check from the Indiana Department of Education is expected to arrive a month earlier than usual.

Evans told members of the school board at their November 4, meeting that he expected the check in the next few days. It must be paid out to teachers within 20 business days and December 5 is the target date for distribution. In past years, it was paid out in the check right before Christmas.

Teachers will be paid in two different dollar amounts.

Each recipient must have taught last year and received an Effective or Highly Effective evaluation rating. Highly Effective teachers will receive an amount 25 percent higher.

The board approved a revised wage and benefit package for the 2019-20 and 2020-21 school years for Management and Non-Unit Personnel. Administrative personnel will receive a one percent increase in base salary each of the two years. Job performance will be based upon evaluation by the School Superintendent Matt Thompson. An updated salary schedule, with incremental steps, was approved for various non-teaching job positions. Rates of pay for substitute teachers, food service workers, and bus drivers and attendants were approved.

In addition, there were changes in hospital/medical

By Lois Mittino Gray Members of the Mount Vernon Common Council heard updates on three major city infrastructure construction projects at their November 7, evening meeting. It was noted that “it’s all good.”

Mayor Bill Curtis addressed issues concerning the Main Street work, a multimillion dollar grant project that has the downtown area of the city torn up for months, but looks to be completed by December 15.

“Work has slowed due to the rain, but a lot of concrete has been formed and poured on that last section of Main Street, up to Sixth Street. Paving is scheduled for next Thursday and they are close to finishing up.

Two-way traffic should resume a week from Monday,” he reported.

Councilwoman Becky Higgins ex-

pressed relief the street will be ready in time for the Christmas on Main Street celebration and parade on December 7.

The Mayor also commented that many people have been asking him about the pipes sticking up at West Second Street and Main. “Those are water shutoffs and they will be level with the street after final paving is done,” he explained.

Other concerns have been expressed about the lateness of the plantings, so the Mayor has checked on that, too. “The State had to certify the trees and declare them dormant.

With the recent cold snap, that should be soon and they will be here. The company says it is not too late, or too cold, to get the perennials in the ground either and they are guaranteed.”

“Some of the chairs and benches are in and they look nice,” he added.

The Mayor said he will have a sample at the next meeting for all to see.

Fire Chief Wes Dixon asked when the clocks will be installed on Main Street. He was referring to three tall ornamental clocks, donated by a citizen in memory of his wife, that are being stored in the fire station. Mayor Curtis replied, “I will check on it, but honestly, I’ve been more worried about the paving. The clocks will be one of the last things they will do.”

Utilities Superintendent Chuck Gray announced work is almost complete on the East Side Gravity Flow Sewer Project. The current lift station needs to be hooked to the new system, but the engineers are work-

Posey Young life is getting older Young Life celebrates 15th anniversary during annual banquet

(USPS 439-500)

By Pam Robinson During its 15-year history, Posey County Young Life has inspired hundreds of area adolescents with the Good News of the Gospel.

This milestone was celebrated at Young Life’s annual banquet held Tuesday, October 22, at the Posey County 4-H Fairgrounds Community Center.

Keith Oeth, Area Director of Posey County Young Life, explains how the organization has thrived for the past 15 years. “We really want kids to feel like this is a safe place. It’s a place where kids can come and take their mask off,” Oeth comments. “I really believe kids walk around in whatever environment they’re in, knowing what mask to wear. We ask them to take their mask off when they come in and be who God intended them to be for an hour. . .Be who they are, not who everybody else wants them to be.”

Permission to be authentic enables Young Life kids to open up and build relationships in lively weekly club meetings. The evening starts

at 6:29 with, as Oeth describes it, “controlled chaos”—31 minutes of games and food.

“It’s crazy, zany, something the kids wouldn’t do every day,” Oeth remarks. “They get to laugh at the leaders because of silly things we do on stage. They just get to be a kid.”

At 7 p.m. things wind down and, after beginning with song, a 15-minute club talk relates the Gospel to everyday life. Afterward, time is set aside for response to the message. No later than 8:15 p.m., the club meeting concludes.

Club meetings are not intended, Oeth stresses, to replace church or youth group. Instead, he explains, Young Life works to get or to keep adolescents involved in a local church.

Young Life has been established in over 100 countries all over the world since 1941 when Jim Rayburn started it in Texas. In 2004, Keith Oeth brought Young Life to Posey County for Mount Vernon High School, or MVHS, students. Three years later, a club was formed for

Curt Eugene Knight Curt Eugene Knight, 68, died November 9, 2019, at his home in Mount Vernon, Indiana. The cause was cancer.

He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Boni Knight; daughter Lori Knight Ford and Anthony Ford, father of grandchildren Kate Ford and Brett Ford, of Savannah, Georgia; son Nicholas Knight and his wife Joianne Bittle, of New York; son Timothy Knight and his wife Sarah Hoppe Knight, and grandchildren Henry Knight and William Knight, of Chicago; brother Daniel Knight and his wife Missie Carrigan; brother Brent Knight and his wife Nancy Knight, all of Mount Vernon; sister Michele Knight Blaize and her husband Jeff Blaize, of Los Angeles; mother Margaret Knight Moll, of Mount Vernon. He was preceded in death by his father Edsel Knight.

Curt’s nieces and nephews are Chris Knight and Wes Knight, of Tampa, Florida; Shanti Knight, of Bloomington, Indiana; Ashley Dorsam and her husband Trey, and their daughter Ellie; Collin Knight, all of Mount Vernon; and Sinjin Blaize, of Los Angeles. His surviving in-laws are Eleanor Debacher, Donald Debacher Jr., Martha Debacher, and Christa Debacher, of Savannah, Georgia; He had numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is also survived by Carol and Mike Smith, long-time neighbors who are in every way family.

Curt was born in 1951 and raised on the family farm in Bufkin, just outside of Mount Vernon. After graduating from Mount Vernon High School in 1969, he was hired

by General Electric Plastics, working the midnight shift

on the factory floor. When he retired from GE 35 years later, he was leading a global software development team.

During this time, he and Boni ran their own small business, Curt Knight Photography, which operated for 25 years.

His retirement from GE was short-lived - that same summer he was hired by LabWare as a software analyst.

He remained in their employ at the time of his death.

Curt’s professional life working with technology was a natural extension of his curiosity and objectivity. Early in his time at GE, he taught himself how to program the computers that were managing production processes; that knowledge started his path of promotion through the company.

When he was hired by LabWare, he returned to school and earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of Southern Indiana in 2006.

He embraced the intellectual thrill of problem-solving, a trait connecting his activities as a technician, photographer, small business owner, and homeowner.

Curt ran two marathons, finishing the Boston Marathon in 1991 in under three hours and placing in the top thousand runners. He transitioned from running to cycling and was a devoted member of his “WHOGAS” cycling group. He saw Stan Musial play in Saint Louis in 1962 and remained a Cardinals fan throughout his life. His allegiance to the Redbirds was perhaps only surpassed by his love of the Indiana Hoosiers basketball team. He coached youth baseball and basketball.

He raced motorcycles. He owned a boat.

Curt loved a good data set,

and his personal passions were invariably enhanced by a well-oiled spreadsheet or a recording device of some kind. He tracked his biometrics from his ambitious bike rides, keeping close tabs on his heart rate, or caloric output, or his splits - occasionally to the consternation of the other riders, as he preferred that they do the same, for the sake of accurate comparisons.

Curt seemed to practice self-discipline, patience, and responsibility as a kind of artform. He was nevertheless ready to play when work was done, and he did so with an infectious gusto. If “Pink Houses” was on the radio, you just might catch him playing some air guitar like no one was watching.

The single indispensable fact of his life was his marriage to Boni. They met in high school, shortly after a farm accident had badly broken his arm. Yet she was undeterred. Their daughter Lori was born in 1971, and their journey together began in the most modest of circumstances. Nick followed in 1975 and Tim in 1979.

Together they demonstrated that a bond of love will take you however far you want to go, and that every other desire will place a distant second in the hierarchy of what makes life meaningful.

Family was the central pillar of Curt’s values, and to celebrate that, he and Boni started a tradition that has continued for nearly two decades. Every summer, family both far and near gather for “Pork Butts and Sippy Cups,” a long-weekend’s worth of swimming, barbecuing, beverages, fireworks, dancing, and one-neverknows. Curt won’t be giving

the main toast next summer, but the cheers that are raised to him will form a mighty chorus.

He and Boni traveled widely, from Australia to South Africa to Europe and across the US. Once, in Panama, his luggage was lost so he attended a formal dinner in a hotel bathrobe. Classic.

Despite all the mileage accrued, he died in the house where his children were raised, 42 years after moving into it, less than five miles from where he was born.

He was surrounded by family and friends, indisputable evidence of a life well-lived.

A celebration of Curt’s life will be held at Western Hills Country Club on Tuesday, November 12, from 2 - 6 p.m. A special dedication will take place at 2:30. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Gateway Women’s Hospital Neonatal ICU or the Posey County Relay for Life. Finally, the family thanks John Hendricks, one of Curt’s dear friends who provided so much assistance over the past year, as well as Karla and Madison from Heritage Hospice for the compassionate care they provided.

Lois Laverne (Butler) Daws Blackburn, 90, passed away peacefully Sunday evening, November 10, 2019, surrounded by family in Evansville, Indiana.

Lois was born February 27, 1929, in Posey County, Indiana, to the late Ida and Arthur Butler. She was a professional beautician, local realtor, airport manager at the Mount Vernon Airport, devoted mother, race car driver, pilot and a proud and loving “Mamaw.” She was a dare devil who regularly pushed the role of a woman in the early 1950s. Maybe some of her passion for enjoying life to the fullest came from her first husband, Edwin Daws, who was a pilot and crop duster. He inspired her to take flight and obtain her own pilots license. She was a self-taught artist and enjoyed painting throughout most of her life.

Lois is survived by children, Luonna (Stephen) Uhde, Nancy (Thomas) Rivers, Wayne Eddie (Donna) Daws, Michael Summers and Melissa Summers; grandchildren, Eric and Penny English (Ella), Elysia and Jason Isham (Lida), Nathaniel and Jodi Rivers (William and Scarlett), Molly Elfriech (Amelia and Frances), Johannah and Kevin McDaniel (Thomas and Lois), Katherine Lois Rivers, Heather and Matt Pugh (Adriana, Madalyn and Dulaney), Hana and Austin Denning (Oliver), Kami and Michael Granade, Edwin Lee Daws, Joshua and Danielle Summers, Emily Summers and Zach Briglia, Christian Summers and Daniel Summers; sister-in-law, Ora Dell Butler; many nieces

and nephews; and special friend, Eileen Curtis.

She was preceded in death by her first husband, Edwin Lee Daws; second husband, William “Pitts” Blackburn; sister, Eileen Alldredge; brother, Naurice Butler; son, Duane Daws; daughter, Melinda Summers; great-granddaughter, Annie Rivers.

Lois had friendship, respect and love from so many of all ages. She had beauty, character and originality. She will be missed by all her families. You were always “home” to us.

Madeleine, I post a lot of photos of my pampered furbabies on Facebook. They have a life void of problems or worries. Their idea of a hardship is being denied unlimited dog treats. They always have fresh water and a place to escape the summer heat and winter cold. Even when they are naughty, they get petting and kisses.

They get scolded when they bark at the neighborhood cats and squirrels. They watch for grandpa’s truck to get home, because they know he is good for another treat.

If I could, I would give this kind of life to every dog or cat. Thousands of others come into this world unwanted and end up abandoned or abused. It is hard for me to imagine human beings doing this. With winter approaching, many so called “pets� will spend the cold days outside with no shelter, food and water; let alone a kind person to love them.

They did nothing to get this type of life.

They didn’t rob a convenience store, or kill anyone. They didn’t even get a chance to chew up someone’s favorite shoes. Even through the abuse, they still look up and wag their tails, hoping someone will notice them.

Even the shelter dogs spend their days in a small enclosure alone. They are not out on their own, and have food and water. Their medical needs are taken care of, but yearn for the love and companionship they so desperately need and want. Many of them see other dogs adopted and get into a warm car to go to their forever home.

Many times, children are hugging their necks, and can’t wait to put a new collar or harness on them. A warm pillow or bed awaits them, but most important, they know that ever elusive love is ďŹ nally there for them.

They will spend the winter in a better life. Next summer, they will chase balls on the lawn and get petting when they return it.

Their main concern will be hoping someone

drops their hot dog at the summer cook-outs.

Those not chosen will return to their little enclosure. No hugs for them, nor walks in the neighborhood and being part of a family.

They are no less deserving than the others.

Perhaps they have had a horriďŹ c past, and fear being around other dogs. Perhaps they aren’t as cute as a young puppy.

Despite the reasons, they have sad eyes and loneliness. This breaks my heart. Please don’t spend hundreds of dollars at a puppy mill this Christmas. Save a dog that desperately needs you. Imagine the joy you will feel seeing their sad eyes turn to happiness.

This is a season of giving, and everyone should recognize a real way to honor this.

For those who cannot, for whatever reason, adopt a dog, please support the organizations who work tirelessly to make every dog’s life better. Little Susie or Bobby can do without one more cheap toy from China, and that same money can go a long way to help a sad dog at Christmas. Children will grow up a better person if parents explain this concept to them.

This is the only way we can change things.

We are all citizens of this Earth and it is up to us to make a dierence.

There are so many terrible things we are powerless to change. However, this can be.

Please join us in the ďŹ ght. Attending the PCPP Show on Saturday the 16th will be a good start. Make a donation, and spend money on gifts, buying chances on the rae baskets, or eating some good food. It all goes for the well being of the shelter dogs.

Everyone knows the rest about proper care of pets during the oncoming winter. Keep an eye out for suering animals.

I hope to see a lot of you at the Ribeyre Gym on Saturday. Please ďŹ nd the true meaning of Christmas by doing your part. Bring a donation, kiss a dog, and have a wonderful day. It is better than you can imagine. Free admission, open 9 to 3.

Call me for more information. We can still accept vendors. If you want to contribute to the bake sale, let us know.

Rikku has not put in the time at the shelter some of the others have but she still has gotten a raw deal in life. She was adopted quickly, as most puppies are, and went o with her new family. Everything was great until she got bigger than the family wanted.

She was also more active than the family wanted. They didn’t have enough time to exercise her and kept her crated a large part of the time. To make matters even worse, her crate was in a back room with the door closed and she could not see the family.

Rikku is house and crate trained, non-destructive. Med - high energy so an active adopter would be best. She is good with other dogs but isn’t crazy about pushy, overzealous ones in her face. She had a bad experience with small children so older respectful teens would be best as the younger ones make her nervous. Rikku is somewhat nervous around most new people, but is very sweet and loving once she gets used to you.

Rikku is about four-years-old and weighs about 67 pounds.

For over 2000 days Cato has been practicing his “Please pick me!� pleading look every time he sees a person. For all that he’s been through he has an amazing outlook on life.

Mr. Personality, Cato is a great dog. He is very strong so he will need a strong pack leader.

He lost his foster home but he was house trained and crate trained and loves to lay on a rug and chew a toy all day long with you in the same room.

He is also very intelligent. His energy level is high out in the yard (must be fenced) where he loves to run but he is a couch potato inside. He is just a playbaby at heart. He would do best with older kids and they need to be part of the training that he will need with his new family. He is a lover but not of cats and he needs to be the only dog. His adoption has been sponsored so he will come with a bag of food, ea/tick meds and heartworm prevention.

Cato is about 10-yeaers-old and weighs about 60 pounds.

2600 days and counting. That’s how long Lola has been waiting for someone to give her a chance at a loving home. Lola is a beautiful girl. She loves people but needs to be the only dog. Her favorite activities include running, playing, or just relaxing with her person.

She absolutely adores attention and does well with just about every person she meets.

Because of her high energy, Lola would most likely do better with older, more respectful kids, rather than very young ones. She is house-trained and walks well on a leash, though she can pull from time to time if she gets excited. Lola would love to live her life as a senior in a somewhat active, loving home that will give her the all of the attention she’s lacked during her time at the shelter.

We hope you’ll give this brindle pup a chance. She was tested with cats and did ďŹ ne.

Lola is about 10-years-old now and weighs about 50 pounds.

THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS - PAGE A5

Pictorial History of Posey County coming off press soon

By Lois Mittino Gray This holiday season consider giving the gift of a beautifully-bound coffee table book whose photos will hit close to home. “A Pictorial History of Posey County, Indiana”

by Harold B. Morgan is in final stages of preparation, including hundreds of historical photographs and possibly, if you desire, a page with your own family photos and history in it.

The hard cover 9” by 12” book, printed on long-lasting acid-free paper, will contain a minimum of 144 pages. It is supported by the Posey County Historical Society and promises to be a genuine family favorite.

Morgan, a well-known historical author in this area, began working on the book about two years ago. It is the eighth one he has penned for MT Publishing Company of Evansville. He promises the book contains some little known historical facts and “even a few surprises.” He estimates it took him a full year to research all the facts and gather photos, and six to eight months to write and assemble.

“This is my prime passion. I just love to do this stuff!

History is not hard work. It already happened. It’s just there for you to find it. You just have to go to the library and court house and dig it out,” Morgan explained. The author feels patience for research and good organization

for dates and facts are skills needed to do the work successfully.

Morgan credits several ‘people’ resources with helping him gather information, too. Stan Campbell helped him with the section on cemeteries, Anne Doane with schools, and Ilse Horacek with many topics, including wars. The Willard Library was a veritable treasure trove of information for the chapter on the devastating Griffin Tornado of 1925. Ray Robertson was a primary resource for the chapter on Bull Island. “Ray was there at the music festival, often described as Indiana’s Woodstock, and the pictures I have are terrific. To this day, I cannot believe that a four lane Interstate was blocked like that due to the crowd,” he marveled.

More chapter titles in the book include businesses, churches, the Posey County Court House and other public buildings, industry and factories, and parks and grounds. There are photos and vignettes of historical persons, such as President Lincoln, Governor Hovey, and Judge John Pitcher, as well as historical scenes from New Harmony and Mount Vernon.

Posey County’s natural history highlights are featured in chapters on the Ohio and Wabash Rivers, its Ice Age, Native American dwellers and the buffalo and its demise.

Jim Tomes (R-Wadesville) meets with Tim Kalgreen, Director of Civic Education at the Indiana Bar Association, and Mark Kirkman’s eighth grade class from Saint Philip School at the Southwest Middle School Regional We The People Competition at the University of Evansville Monday, Nov. 4.

We The People: The Cit-

izen and the Constitution is a civics competition put on by the Indiana Bar Association to promote civic competence and responsibility among Indiana’s elementary, middle and high school students.

“I am glad to see Evansville host such a great event,” Tomes said. “This

program is a fantastic way for young Hoosiers to engage in and learn more about our federal and state governments. I have had family involved in the competition and have seen firsthand how We The People has helped them better understand how our country operates.”

Higgins Plans Seizure and Choking Safety Class for Foster Families Lauren Higgins of Mount Vernon is part of a senior nursing class at the University of Evansville which will host a seizure and choking safety class for Evansville-area foster families on Thursday, November 14. The event is in partnership with Borrowed Hearts, a resource and support network for foster families.

UE nursing student Katie Morguson explains that, “Some families may not wish to take in a child or may fear to take in a child if they have certain medical conditions, which they may not know how to manage.

By teaching seizure safety and choking prevention, we are bridging this gap.”

Students are also gathering items to be donated to Borrowed Hearts for foster families. Items being collected are children’s clothing, hygiene products, and lice treatment kits.

Each year, the Senior Nursing Class at UE de-

velops a projects that will target a health need in the community, focusing on a vulnerable population. This year, the class wanted to focus on foster children and developed a plan with Borrowed Hearts to identify the need of managing medical conditions.

Students at the University of Evansville shape powerful and enduring change.

UE is the first in Indiana to be designated as an Ashoka U Changemaker Campus,

and its changemaking culture empowers students to improve the world around them as UE Changemakers. With over 80 majors in the arts and sciences and pre-professional programs, UE’s diverse student body represents 44 states and 52 countries. U.S. News & World Report recognizes UE as the #6 Best College in the Midwest among private schools. For more information, please visit www.evansville.edu

It’s One of Those Days‌Weeks‌Months‌Years‌

B B R

A lot of introspection this week found a number of thought-provoking, well, thoughts from others in the world. Introvert that I am, while I DO NOT like being cold and all the stu that comes with cold weather never being warm, high utility bills, having to deal with bulky coats, and freezing cold car seats, among other things - there is enjoyment in hunkering/snuggling down in my home, with no chance of any work needed outside.

But, to be fair, there are some things about winter I do like. Food, of course, is high on the list. Ham and beans, chili, taco soup, and vegetable soup are all best enjoyed when the weather outside is less than stellar. Hot cocoa or a cup of steamy, hot tea are both a bonus of the season; they, too, seem tastier when the outside temps are a bit on the cool side. And, of course, there are the holidays bringing us

visits with friends and families that make new memories and sharing of past memories.

This time of the year I begin to look ahead and see how I can improve my day to day reactions to the events that happen around me. You may do the same thing in an informal way, mulling over in your mind how to be a better you, and how to be happier and live a more peaceful life. We can’t, we know, change some of the situations we ďŹ nd ourselves a part of – death of a best friend, renewal of lost friendships, health emergencies, new jobs, new homes. If we are truly honest, the good heavily outweighs the not-so-good.

But how can we prepare ourselves to be ready for whatever life throws at you? See if any of these ďŹ ve very simple daily tasks can help. It helps me. I know. I’ve been working on them.

Express Gratitude. Every single day, when you wake up, count your blessings. Sometimes you have to really stretch to ďŹ nd something, but there is always, always, something about which to be grateful. The sun came up

(or will soon, depending on when your alarm startles you out of a sound sleep). I am daily thankful for my family, my friends, my health, my memories. It’s up to you. Just choose to be grateful.

Choose to be grateful. You will be amazed how much this will change your attitude about, well, just about everything. And every single night, let grateful thoughts be the ones that lead you to sleep.

Set Your Intentions For The Day. Whatever your ability, whatever your state of mind, identify one thing to complete this day. It may be just getting out of bed. But you can do it.

Maybe you want to start a new habit making your bed, eating one healthy meal a day, learn a new language, laugh for no reason other than it feels good, smile at someone (even if it’s just your reection in the mirror. Hey, you’re worth it), clean o one corner of your desk (this is a biggie for me). It doesn’t matter what it is. Pick one. And then ďŹ nish it. Now, don’t you feel better? And if you didn’t get it ďŹ nished today, there is always tomorrow.

Take Five Long Breaths In And Out. Big breaths. Don’t cheat. You will be absolutely amazed how this clears your mind and totally relaxes you. And while you’re breathing, imagine that you are expelling all your worries and bad thoughts. This simple step can set the tone for the whole day. (Note: if you get dizzy, maybe you’re breathing TOO deep

Wendy McNamara, State Rep. Thanking Our Veterans For Their Service November 11 is an opportunity for us to recognize and honor the 18.2 million veterans in the United States and thank them for their service to our country.

This Veterans Day, we honor our heroes for putting their lives at risk to make our nation safer and bring about a more peaceful world.

A number of businesses oer discounts and specials to our active and retired service members on Veterans Day. We are fortunate to have had so many brave men and women stand for freedom since our country’s founding. We owe it to them to ensure that their service and sacriďŹ ce is always remembered.

Please take a moment today and every day to thank our veterans and recognize them for the sacriďŹ ces that they have made for our nation.

Letter to the Editor Thank You Constituents In every election, just like every sporting event, there is a winner and a loser. When last nights votes were counted, my opponent won and I lost.

Funny tho, I don’t feel like a loser. I’m extremely proud of my record over the past four years of service as Second District Councilman for the City of Mount Vernon.

Every vote that I made, every discussion I participated in, every conversation I had with a constituent and every decision I made had one thing in mind. How will my response and vote best serve our City.

I had a great Council to work with and wish them the best as we move on. I thank Mayor Curtis and his Department heads, City Clerk Cristi Sitzman and her oďŹƒce sta, Beth McFadin Higgins and Sherri Willis for their help and support. I think we are leaving the City a little better o than when we got it and really, that’s all anyone can ask.

I’m sure there were times that some people didn’t agree with my stance on issues or my vote just as I sometimes didn’t agree with the stance or vote of others on the Council or those who expressed their opinions in the discussion. I always respected their right to have a dierent opinion from me even though I didn’t always feel that respect was

reciprocated. That’s okay, that’s the way the political process works today, it’s water under the bridge and hopefully that will change someday and we will become more tolerant of each other’s varying opinions.

I will miss working with (funny, it didn’t seem like work) my fellow Council members and I will miss working with the members of the other various Boards and committees I was assigned to due to my position as a Councilman.

I wish for nothing but success for the incoming Council. If they succeed, we all succeed but if they fail, we all fail and that is unacceptable.

I will continue to support and serve my community in other ways once my term ends in December. I’ve worked in Mount Vernon for the past 28 years, served the Community in various ways for the past 25 years and have been a resident for the past 20 years. Mount Vernon is my home. I’m not going anywhere.

I will be gracious in my loss and I hope the winners AND THEIR SUPPORTERS will be gracious in their victory.

Thank you for allowing me to serve the City for the past four years.

Williams out.

- scale it down just a tad) Smile For No Reason. Smile. It makes others wonder what you’re up to. You’ve probably heard that it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile, so don’t use that fact as a way to save energy. Smiling is contagious. Try it. Almost without fail, you get a smile back from everyone you smile at. You feel better just knowing you made someone else smile. Yours may be the only smile that someone gets all day. Go, you. And think how much better we will all feel if we share the simple smile.

Forgive Yourself For Yesterday’s Mistakes.

No regrets. Don’t beat yourself up for what you can’t change and how you acted with good intentions and all the information you had. As poet Maya Angelou so eloquently stated: When you know better, you do better.

So, go out there and do better. Look to tomorrow with all the knowledge of the past that you carry in your heart.

Above all, Be Kind. (OK, so that makes six simple daily tasks. Oops‌) My granddaughters and I had quite a discussion about this recently. It takes nothing to be kind, but it can change so much.

And, because this an especially diďŹƒcult emotional season for me, dance. Dance for joy. Dance with that special someone. Dance the dance of life. Just‌dance.

And that’s all that matters.

Entitlements - More Money

Our country is over 22 trilB D . lion dollars in G

debt and growM

ing. Reducing our spending is never easy especially for our government. We have a lot of obligations from Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Defense, Veterans, Infrastructure and more.

There aren’t that many places to cut spending in our nation’s budget. Social Security eats up about 23 percent of our budget. Our government is supposed to start sending me a check every month in just over a year. After paying into it since I was 18 years old, I would like to collect it. Medicare accounts for 15 percent of our federal budget. I just got my card in the mail so I’m not voting to reduce Medicare beneďŹ ts. I know what medical bills can do to anyone ďŹ nancially. Over 65 percent of the bankruptcies in America take place over medical issues.

Medicaid is the third largest mandatory spending program in the federal budget. Medicaid requires almost ten percent of our budget. We can’t reduce it much if any because one out of ďŹ ve Americans are dependent on Medicaid.

There is a good chance that almost any American could end up on Medicaid so don’t be smug. You could end up with a medical challenge that could put you in a nursing home with all kinds of required specialized care that could ďŹ nancially wipe you out and you would have no choice but to go on Medicaid. I hope this never happens to you, but it happens to millions of Americans.

The Medicaid program is jointly funded by the federal government and the states. The federal government pays states for a speciďŹ ed percentage of program expenditures, called the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP).

Federal spending on Medicaid projected for 2019 is 406 billion, almost one-tenth of the $4.7 trillion federal budget. Money is supplemented by the states, so total spending on Medicaid services will be about $593 billion for this year.

Under the Aordable Care Act the federal government paid 100 percent of the cost of Medicaid expansion coverage from 2014 to 2016. The federal share dropped to 95 percent in 2017, 94 percent in 2018, and 93 percent in 2019 and will settle at 90 percent in 2020 and each year thereafter.

This year, the average annual premiums for an employer-sponsored insurance plan for an individual were slightly more than $6,000.

Just two years ago, Medicaid spent an average of $6,641 per person covered.

Medicaid is a jointly funded Federal-State health insurance program for low-income and needy people. It covers children, the aged, blind, and/or disabled and other people who are eligible to receive federally assisted income maintenance payments.

Medicaid and CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program) cover nearly 70 million people, or again about 1 in 5 people in the country.

I am never an advocate for more taxes, but our entitlements require big ďŹ nancing and the money has to come from some place. The money will not come just from the one percent of America’s wealthy. All of us will pay - more.

Guest Column: Johnathan Hladik, Policy Director, Center For Rural Affairs What About Our Farmers?

Earlier this year, in the midst of a trade war with China, President Donald Trump announced a $16 billion agriculture bailout, telling Americans, via Twitter, the biggest beneďŹ ciaries would be “our great Patriot Farmers.â€?

Recent news reports, however, indicate foreign companies are getting a majority of the bailout dollars.

New statistics show JBS, a Brazilian company and the largest meat producer in the world, has received $78 million in government subsidies through the pork bail-

out program. The company has received one quarter of all subsidies paid through the program, more than any other recipient. Despite the well-known patterns of corruption that continue to engulf JBS, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue has defended the payments.

Each year, our nation’s farmers, especially those operating small and mid-sized family farms, face numerous challenges in their operations. The ongoing trade war with China added another wrinkle to an already challenging year. Every farmer

we know would rather have a resolution to the trade war.

For now, however, the bailout funds remain an eective option for those seeking to recoup costs.

Instead of backing millions of dollars in bailout funds to a foreign company now under federal investigation for underpaying farmers and using illegal loans to consolidate the market, Secretary Perdue should be supporting the diligent American farmers who have worked for generations to make the agriculture industry what it is today.

Hang Together Or Separately

take down and re-hang not to judge what should be preserved.

Benjamin Franklin and his wife, Deborah, lived much of their married life separated by the Atlantic Ocean as Ben served as Minister to France while Deborah refused to accompany him. But they managed to raise three children and stay married for many years. I suspect their marital success was in large part due to staying put in one house most of their marriage. When Ben’s famous quote, “We must hang together or we will surely hang separately�, is cited most people probably assume Ben was talking about our Revolution from Great Britain. I propose he was giving marital advice. You know Ben was famous and got rich for his advice column Poor Richard’s Almanac. Why not accept that he was an

You may already know Peg and I bought a log cabin in Osage County, Oklahoma. Our home in Posey County, Indiana is a converted barn with 4,000 square feet of ďŹ nished space and our barn/home also has a barn. Our cabin in Oklahoma is 2,000 square feet and we had to add a barn.

Four thousand square feet of stu does not smoothly ďŹ t in 2,000 square feet of space. However, my suggestion to Peg that we simply leave everything but our toothbrushes was not kindly received. Ergo, we are in the process of triage. I have learned the hard way to not suggest which items are disposable. My role is to

early Ann Landers?

What I think Ben meant was, if you and your spouse wish to avoid all out warfare, you should never engage in moving and especially not in what should be hung and where. For example, when I was sixteen my parents moved one block to a dierent house.

Our family had three pictures on the walls. One was a black and white 8� x 10� photograph of our immediate family and the other two were Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper (not the original) and some European’s creation of a blond-haired Jesus. All three were taken down by my mother and put back up by my father. No argument, no stress.

On the other hand, Peg and I have countless photos of us, of our three kids and their spouses, of our seven grandkids, some of whom already

have spouses, and one great-grand kid. We have knickknacks from family vacations, from gifts and from school projects. Every wall in our Indiana home/barn is festooned with something. And Peg demands all of it must be hung in our much smaller Oklahoma cabin. Of course all our furniture has to be carefully placed somewhere too. Well, you see the dilemma.

We are gingerly adjusting to this new strain of “Cabin Feverâ€?, but there is a constant simmering of strife just below the lip-biting surface. My position is usually reasoned and rational, but Peg’s is often inuenced by emotion. For example, yesterday we spent over an hour negotiating if a forty-pound mirror should be saved and, if so, where would it go? Peg’s position was it is a family heirloom

and my response about it not being from my side of the family was not charitably received. The mirror now hangs in its new location.

Peg and I have now made nine trips to the cabin with items crammed onto a trailer and in a car (SUV) and a pickup. We have about two more trips to go. Each trip takes about twelve hours each way and requires a day to load and another day to unload. The nitty gritty of what goes where will consume the remainder of our lives and marriage.

Twelfth Mount Vernon Habitat home now underway

Volunteers from Warehouse Services, Inc., prepare to raise a wall for the newest Habitat home in Mount Vernon. The crew worked under the direction of local Habitat coordinator, Jim Bartlett, on Tuesday, October 29.

Photo submitted.

By Pam Robinson Habitat for Humanity of Evansville, encompassing Mount Vernon’s Habitat home builds, boasts building “500 homes and counting,” since it built its first home in 1984, according to its website (www.evansvillehabitat.org). To be exact, 513 homes may be credited to Habitat Evansville.

Since 2005, 11 of those Habitat homes have been built along East Second and West Third streets in Mount Vernon, largely under the supervision of community leader, Jim Bartlett, retired from General Electric. The walls went up for Habitat home number 12 on Water Street in Mount Vernon just a couple of weeks ago. Volunteers from Mount Vernon’s Warehouse Services, Inc., or WSI, did the honors of providing a glimpse into the future of the home on Tuesday, October 29.

In phone conversations with three of the eleven current homeowners and with the future homeowner awaiting the completion of the twelfth Habitat home, all of them express, in their own words, the belief, “There’s no place like home.”

One current homeowner remarks, “You get a home you can pay [the mortgage] on, and it will be yours.” Another stresses, “It has given me comfort to know I won’t have to move again,” and adds, “I don’t have to worry about any leases being up.” Yet another couple speak with passion about their home, stating, “It changed our lives because now we have something that’s ours.

We love our home.”

Anticipating the move into her home next spring motivates the new builder in Mount Vernon, a single mom of two children ages three and five, to spend as much time as possible at the build site after she clocks out from her full-time job. “I’m pretty good with keeping up with the guys,” she states about her labor of love. “I used to paint for a living, so anything you can show me to do, I can do.”

She elaborates, echoing the sentiments of current homeowners, on what her Habitat home means to her. “Habitat gives people an opportunity to better themselves,” she says. “It gives my children stability and a forever home. You meet so many people along the way. It’s truly an amazing process.”

In the U.S., Habitat for Humanity allows families meeting income and additional guidelines to help build, along with skilled volunteers, their own homes within specific styles and floor plans. Habitat homeowners pay a reasonable, interest-free monthly mortgage that includes escrow for insurance and taxes.

As one current homeowner emphasizes, “We pay for our homes and work to help build them. They are not free.” As the comment makes clear, Habitat homeowners take great pride in their homes.

They understand and are willing to accept the responsibility of home upkeep and maintenance also. “We have to save, just like any other homeowner, to pay to fix the roof when it’s time,” another Habitat homeowner insists.

As Evansville Habitat’s Communications Manager Kate Carnahan explains, every Habitat homeowner must complete seven mandatory classes before, during, and after the build. The classes inform homeowners about every aspect of owning a home.

The classes include Goal Setting, Six-Month Money Manage-

ment Seminar, Becoming a Habitat Homeowner, Home Maintenance, Neighborhood Relations, Construction Site Orientation, and Mortgage Closing. In addition, homeowners may learn more practical skills in twelve elective classes with titles such as How to Fix Anything, Interior Decoration, Landscape Maintenance, Plumbing Basics, and Painting and Drywall Repair.

Carnahan focuses on the mandatory Six-Month Money Management Seminar—completed before the build may begin.

“That’s six months, one class a month, where we actually learn how to budget in so many ways to be fiscally responsible,” she states. “That includes partnering with what we call a budget partner, someone with a financial background who can come alongside our future homeowners and really help them outside of the class. They meet once a month [also] and go over their budget and make sure they’re staying on track and making smart choices and learning how to save for things in the future.”

With the additional education provided in the repair classes, Carnahan says homeowners become prepared to handle minor, expected problems when they occur. “We have a class called How to Fix Anything and [one called] Plumbing 101, where they can learn how to take care of the home once they move in,” she elaborates. “Our learning center in the back of our office has a bathtub, a toilet, and a sink there just for demonstrative purposes.

There’s literally a cutout on the back edge of the bathtub so they can learn how to fix the plumbing back there. They learn how to fix the toilet, the sink—all sorts of things—so they don’t have to spend money looking for a mechanic or a repairman. They can feel confident in making those kind of fixes themselves.”

Anyone interested in being considered for a Habitat home build, may contact Habitat for Humanity of Evansville online (www.evansvillehabitat.org) or by phone (812-423-5623). A Habitat build in Mount Vernon occurs about once a year.

All Habitat homeowners undoubtedly share the gratitude of the single mom eager to live in home number twelve in Mount Vernon. “I am truly thankful and grateful,” she states, “for everybody who has volunteered their time and put in all the effort and work when I can’t. It’s such a blessing. I’m thankful.”

‘Young Life’ continued from Page A1 North Posey High School students.

The next year, in 2008, Young Life introduced Capernaum in Mount Vernon. North Posey followed suit in 2011 with its own Capernaum club. These meetings are held at both sites one Wednesday a month for high school students with special needs.

In 2014, Kevin and Annette Slygh built a leadership team to launch a Mount Vernon club, Wyld Life, a spin-off of Young Life, for junior high students. By 2016, North Posey

began a WyldLife club for its own junior high students. Both clubs meet on Tuesday nights.

Initially, Oeth recalls, around 70 high school students met for Young Life club in Mount Vernon alone. He estimates around 60 students total meet weekly now for Young Life and WyldLife in both northern and southern Posey County.

Clubs meet during the academic year and end with a week-long adventure at one of Young Life’s 24 resort camps across the U.S.

Promised “the best week of your life,” campers are provided the best food, fun, and Christian fellowship this side of heaven.

Last year, Oeth states, 98 students attended camp at a total cost of $51,940—almost all gathered from fundraisers throughout the year.

Typically, families pay only the $100 deposit for camp, and Young Life kids take advantage of fundraisers to bring in the remaining $430 for each camper.

The youth will kick off their Christmas ham fundraiser shortly. Hams for purchase include hickory smoked, old-fashioned smoked, brown sugar, or Black Forest. A whole ham costs $40; one-half ham, $20. Oeth reminds everyone the ham sales benefit a good cause and allow Young Life youth to earn about one-half the sale price of each ham.

On Friday, November 1, Oeth has announced, Welborn Foundation in Evansville awarded a $150,000 collaboration grant to be split four ways among the Young Life organizations in Posey, Vanderburgh, and Warrick counties and in Henderson, Kentucky. All grant dollars have been designated for camp.

Oeth emphasizes the importance of fundraising for Posey County Young Life. Although participation is free to all adolescents, the worldwide organization offers no financial aid. The $125,000 operating budget for mission wide services, fundraising, future growth, program expenses, camp scholarships, social security and pension, and staff salary are covered through the generosity of local, private donors.

As the Posey County Young Life mission statement clarifies, “Although Young Life is part of a worldwide mission, Young Life areas are financially supported solely at the local level.”

Otherwise, Young Life is run with volunteer leaders across Posey County.

As a result, Oeth feels deep appreciation and gratitude for the people of Posey County. “We have truly been blessed by this community’s support of Young Life for the past 15 years,” he states.

The Posey County Young Life website, poseycounty.younglife.org, provides additional news and information about meetings. Individuals may also call Area Director Keith Oeth at (812) 454-4786.

‘Election’ continued from Page A1 usual. Some officials indicated that more than 50 percent of the town’s registered votes cast ballots this year, making it tough for the election board who hand-counted the paper ballots.

Election results in New Harmony were not reported until around 9:30 p.m. compared to a little after 7 p.m. in Mount Vernon.

“The other reason for our success is that success builds upon success,” Newman continued.

“We’ve had a good group of officeholders who took office back in 2010. They did a good job and that allowed more Republicans to be elected. Throughout each election cycle, I think all those Republicans who have won have done a good job of governing.”

Newman also said that the actions of top Democrats on that national front do not resonate well in conservative areas such as Posey County.

“When you see what’s going on on the national front with the divisiveness and closeddoor hearings and those types of things, that doesn’t resonate well with the folks in Posey County,” Newman said. “We are a conservative county and I feel like the people of Posey County want fair play and we want the opportunity for folks to go out and make their own way and want the governmental funding to be safeguarded and money spent wisely. We want our armed forces and first responders to be supported.”

In Cynthiana, three Republicans will join Independent Clerk-Treasurer Cindy Schmitz

in governing the town. Schmitz replaced Greta Mounts when failing health forced her to reign.

This was Schmitz’s first elected term.

“We actually had the town convention back in August,” Newman explained of the election in Cynthiana. “In the convention, Steve Simms, Jeff Gee and Andy Porath were the three who were selected to be on the Republican ballot.”

Newman said there are several who were not familiar with the conventions since not many of them have been held lately.

“Basically what it is is if there are more Republicans that file for the positions that are on the ballot in the small towns, and this doesn’t apply to cities, then the Party would have a town convention and in this case, the Republicans in Cynthiana would meet on that night and select who they wanted to be on the ballot. It would be people who had voted Republican in the past or that had indicated they were supporting the majority of the Republican candidates.”

Four were considered and the top three names appeared on the ballot. Simms, Gee, and Porath were the three chosen. Simms recently replaced Caroline Price, who moved out of Cynthiana and was elected for a full term. Gee and Porath are serving for the first time. They will replace Todd Kennedy, who ran as an Independent, and Patty Wilson on the council.

Voter turnout in Cynthiana and Mount Vernon were comparable with around 25 percent turnout, which is little higher than in past nonpresidential election years.

The United Way of Posey County started its 2019 Campaign with a kickoff breakfast Friday, September 27 at the Posey County Community Center at the 4H Fairgrounds.

The Kickoff coincided once again with the United Way’s Day of Caring.

Over 300 volunteers throughout the county left the Kickoff Breakfast to work on over 30 public service projects around the county.

Dan Ritter, chairperson for the Day of Caring, anticipates a great day for volunteers and project managers alike.

“Our Day of Caring is a great example of how the United Way not only raises funds, but also brings together volunteers focused on making a difference. It should be a great day for everyone in the county.”

Members of the Mount Vernon Garden Club celebrated two members, Judy Heberer and Brenda Cash reaching 25 years of membership in the club this year. Brenda Cash was unable to attend. Pictured above are the attending members with 25 years or more of service. Left to right are Pat Culley, Marge Bostick and Judy Heberer.

The group was served a lunch at Trinity United Church of Christ on Wednesday.

Two Posey County Spell Bowl teams advance to state

By Thomas Butler The Mount Vernon High School spell bowl team competed in the area competition hosted at Mount Vernon on Monday, November 4.

“Our students competed against Division II schools from the Evansville area, as well as school around the state of Indiana.

Our team’s goal was to qualify for state competition at Purdue and to better our third-place finish at State in 2018,” head

coach Jeff Pickrell said.

The spell bowl competition is not like the traditional oral spelling bee. Teams use one representative per round to write the spelling words. Winning teams are named based on the cumulative total of correctly spelled words of all members.

At the high school level there are ten rounds with nine words per round and only one student per round gets to compete.

“The list is over 2,700 words and it

comes down to the nine they ask you to spell,” team captain Kaitlyn Mansfield said.

Mansfield has managed two perfect scores in a row (spelling all nine words in her round correctly) and her teammate Emilee Hogan has had two near perfect scores in a row. Paul Campbell has managed one near perfect score.

The team ended with an overall score of 53. Although this score was not as high as

last year’s score of 65, it was still enough to place the team fourth overall in the area competition advancing them to State. They will attend the State competition at Purdue on November 16.

Team members are Alison Gansman, Kaitlyn Mansfield, Haley Curtis, Sydney Friedman, Lizzy Green, Netra Patel, Paul Campbell, Emilee Hogan, Logan Mayes, Sam Heckman, Felicitie Flemmings and Emma Clark.

Screaming Eagles open with win in M-MAC/GLVC Classic Special to the News The 13th-ranked University of Southern Indiana men’s basketball team opened the 2019-20 regular season with an 82-73 victory over Hillsdale College Friday afternoon on the first day of the G-MAC/GLVC Crossover in Hillsdale, Michigan USI starts the season,1-0, while Hillsdale opens with a 0-1 mark.

The Eagles’ victory pulls Head Coach Rodney Watson to within one victory of tying Bruce Pearl for the all-time lead in victories at USI. Watson is 230-74 in 10-plus seasons (2009-Present), while Pearl was 231-46 in nine seasons (1992-2001) USI had command of most of the opening half that included a 17-point margin of 32-15 and was shooting 68.2 percent from the field (15-22) during the run. Hillsdale’s offense came to life late in the opening half

when it ignited for a 16-6 run to close the gap by the end of 20 minutes to 38-31.

USI senior guard Joe Laravie led the Eagles through the opening half with 11 points on a perfect five-of-five from the field and converted his only free throw. Junior forward Emmanuel Little and junior forward Clayton Hughes followed with seven and six points, respectively.

The Eagles regained the momentum to start the second half, going on a 6-0 run to get the lead back over double-digits, 42-31, on a jumper by Little. USI re-extended the lead to 16-points, 53-37, with 15:15 left on a pair of free throws by Larvie.

Hillsdale, however, did not surrender and closed the gap with an 8-0 run (53-45) with 12:59 to play, but USI, with a big 17-8 offensive surge, tied its biggest lead of the game (17 points), 70-53. Little led the offen-

sive push by hitting for 13 of the 17 points during the run.

The Chargers made one more dash at the Eagles in the final minutes, cutting the advantage to eight once more, 81-73, before USI closed the door for good on the 82-73 victory.

Little finished the season-opening contest with a team-high 28 points, one short of tying a career-high. He was a blistering 11of-15 from the field and six-of-seven from the line, while grabbing a team-high eight rebounds.

Laravie followed with 18 points in his USI regular season debut, by hitting sixof-12 from the field, including a threepointer, and five-of-five from the line.

Hughes and sophomore forward Tyler Dancy rounded out the double-digit scorers with 12 points and 10 points respectively. Dancy

was one point shy of tying a USI career high (11 points) that he posted in last spring’s Elite Eight quarterfinal game versus the Texas A&M University.

As a team, USI shot 54.7 percent from the field (29-53), 37.5 percent from downtown (3-8), and 77.8 percent from the charity stripe (21-27). The Eagles also won the battle on the glass, 36-21.

USI concludes the G-MAC/GLVC Crossover Classic with a neutral site game with Malone University at Hillsdale. The Pioneers open the 2019-20 season when they play Oakland City University this evening.

Indiana improves on number of occupational injuries The federal Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today in its latest Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses that Indiana’s 2018 nonfatal occupational injury and illness rate is the lowest in state history -- with an almost six percent decrease from 2017’s previous historic low.

The latest data (2018), according to the report, shows Indiana’s rate of nonfatal workplace injuries and illness is estimated at 3.3 injuries or illnesses per 100

full-time workers, compared to 2017’s rate of 3.5. From a program high of 11.3 in 1994, Indiana’s rate of nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses has decreased by 71 percent.

“Workplace health and safety has been improving steadily in Indiana for over the past 25 years, and continues to improve,” said Rick Ruble, commissioner of the Indiana Department of Labor. “Indiana has 86 companies in the state’s Voluntary Protection Program, and

41 companies in the state’s Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program.

These companies have made a vested commitment to improving worker safety and health. It’s this kind of commitment that has enabled Indiana to reduce nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses year over year.”

The SOII measures incidents of nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses on an annual basis. The report also showed that the Hoosier agriculture, forestry, fishing

Blair said.
