New principals hired in MV

By Lois Mittino Gray Even though they had to deal with COVID-19 issues in the present, the Mount Vernon School Board put a positive spin on the future by approving the hire of two elementary school principals at the April 6, meeting.

Katie Bushard will take over administration at Marrs Elementary School, filling the position vacated by reBruner tiring Greg DeWeese.

Natosha Bruner will fill the bill at Farmersville Elementary School, replacing Dr. Beth Johns, who moved into the position of Director of Curriculum and Technology.

Both educators were selected from a large pool of applicants. For Bushard’s position, 27 applications were reviewed, with 14 persons receiving a follow-up interview. “This large Spring is in the air at Compton’s Flower Patch in Griffin.

School Superintendent Matt Thompson presented a short biography of the new hires. Katie Bushard is currently teaching sixth grade Language Arts at Mount Vernon Junior High School.

Work on NP school projects continues despite obstacles

By Dave Pearce Anyone driving down high school road this week could plainly see that progress was being made on the field house, which North Posey School Supt. Dr. Todd Camp hopes will be ready for use by the coming school year. The synthetic grass football field was put into place last year in

time for the football season.

This year, football and softball will be using the new locker rooms located in the field house while the old football locker room, built by Expressway’s Bob Bulkley for North Posey several years ago, will now become the football visitor’s locker room. So no longer will there be visi-

tors football teams coming into the school and into the PE locker rooms and tearing things up. There will be no reason for visiting football teams, fans or coaches to be inside the school building itself.

The new school track is nearly complete and work has now resumed on the field house. A sewer situa-

NP schools are safer, more sanitary

By Dave Pearce With a myriad of projects already completed and many more already underway in the district, North Posey School Superintendent Todd Camp is pulled in many directions in an effort to keep the school district in compliance and the school projects going.

As far as projects, the school district has made huge strides in safety features at all the buildings over the past few months. Parents and students alike can now feel better knowing that accessibility to the inside of the buildings is not near as easy as it has been in the past.

“We did a $7.5 million bond issue and added about $800,000 of school corporation money with that,” Camp explained. “In the past year, we have more than doubled the number of cameras that we in the corporation and we have also gone from analog to digital, which has improved the quality of the pictures.”

What that means is that if someone is anywhere on

school property, there is a very good chance that they are already on camera. So by the time they reach the school doors, someone already knows they are approaching the building.

“We have completed the process of having double vestibules where people must go through the school office to get into the building,” Camp explained. “We have that in every building now. The last two buildings to complete that were North Elementary and the junior high.”

Even employees are finding it a bit more strenuous to get into the buildings. There is a motion sensor system and a card reader system employees must use for admittance.

Several doors have been replaced to help with building security. The board and administration is still going on with the safety committee and doing the things they are requesting. Both school system and county-wide school

tion caused a delay in the project.

The field house will allow the boys a home football locker room and a girls softball home locker room as well as additional restroom facilities for the public during events. Baseball has elected to continue using the current facility. But the indoor practice facility will allow all athletes to come in and do work that will benefit their health, fitness and general wellbeing. It can also serve as a training area for the cross-fit program that has been instituted in the past two or three years. It will also contain an improved concession area on the side of the building facing the baseball field.

Just as with any large project, the

fieldhouse has had a share of problems, especially early-on.

“There were two things that happened that delayed the track and the building,” Camp explained. “The track was supposed to have been done last fall but the builder’s equipment broke down and the track did not get finished. It was first on the list for this year. It will be finished next week.”

The other problem involved the school’s sewer system, which is a large and complicated septic system.

“Basically, the septic system out there was flat and the reason we

One dead, others injured in tragic week’s accidents

By Dave Pearce A North Posey Junior High School student is dead and four other students lives have been changed forever as the result of an automobile accident on Saturday afternoon. Cameron Born, a 14-year-old eighth grader at North Posey Junior High School, and the son of Eric and Mallory Born was killed in the single-vehicle accident.

According to Posey County Sheriff Tom Latham, at approximately 3:30 Posey County Dispatch received a call pertaining to the single-vehicle crash with injuries outside Wadesville. It was reported there were at least five people involved. The crash occurred on Blake Road, between Spahn and Winery roads.

According to information provided by the Sheriff’s Office, the crash involved a 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix which had been traveling east on Blake Road. The juvenile driver lost control on the curve. The vehicle rolled an unknown number of times into field where it came to a rest.

There were five occupants in vehicle, two or possibly 3three passengers were ejected, including the deceased passenger.

Three of the vehicle’s occupants

Cameron Born were transported by Posey County EMS to Deaconess Midtown Emergency Room. The driver of the vehicle was transported to Deaconess by the father.

The Indiana State Police is assisting Posey County officers with the crash in doing the crash reconstruction.

The crash is still under investigation. Sheriff Latham stated, “Fatal

I’ll get by with a little help from my friends...

Sew Sly Alterations helps keep chemo buddies in masks Cynthiana’s Susan Yarber spends one of many hours at her sewing machine.

Her business, combined with her and her friends helping make masks for chemo buddies, keeps her busy at the shop.

(USPS 439-500)

By Lynda Baker Susan Yarbor was born with a servant’s heart. When she first learned of the COVID-19 epidemic, she considered volunteering to shelve products in a couple of local stores, but her family expressed serious concerns. Upon learning from the Chemo Buddies Facebook page of the shortage of face masks, she immediately recognized her calling.

As the owner of Sew Sly Alterations in Cynthiana, Susan had all of the equipment she needed to begin making masks, along with her friends, Tammy Mobley and Sharon Bechtel. Susan organized her sewing room and immediately learned from Facebook how the masks were made. She and her friends then began sewing masks and encouraging others to do the same.

Each of the ladies has her own task to perform. Some measure and cut materials, while the others sew. Rex Yarbor, Susan’s husband, delivers the masks and picks up materials for the crew.

“It takes about five minutes to sew each mask. We can get three masks from one yard of elastic. So far, we have

gone through around 1,000 yards of elastic and have made around 600-700 masks. We are presently working on an order for 160 masks. The Vanderburgh County Jail has requested 400 masks,” Susan explained.

Susan and her team are providing the masks free of charge. She said that some of her friends are charging just enough to cover expenses, but she is not comfortable with charging for her masks.

Susan has always been interested in sewing. She purchased her first sewing machine just after she and Rex were married.

While wondering what she might be able to do after retiring from teaching fourth grade at Cynthia Heights Elementary School in 2015, a friend told Susan that a shop in Evansville was looking for someone to assist with alterations. She interviewed for the position and was hired on the spot.

“I learned so much in my year and a half at the shop.

Initially, the lady I worked with specialized in formal

APRIL 14, 2020 Robin June Redmon Robin June “Bobbie” (Heal) Redmon of Boonville - And the Lord looked down and saw the trees and flowers in bloom and all the birds in song. He summoned his Archangel Gabriel and said Gabriel I am in need of someone to care for my flowers –to water my orchids in a special way –to feed my birds, and especially my hummers. I know of a beautiful soul that can do all of this and do it perfectly. So Gabriel donned his wings and away he flew down to earth and scooped up our precious Robin in his large arms and then gently transported her to the arms of our Lord God, and the Lord said Welcome home Robin, my dear and faithful servant. Your work on earth is done and you are now free of your pain and suffering, and with a big smile he lifted her up and said welcome to your heavenly home, and our sweet Robin entered into the Gates of Heaven on Palm Sunday, April 5, 2020 at 11:55 a.m. Robin was as beautiful in death as she was in real life. She still had her beautiful pink skin, with no wrinkles, and her pretty white hair. God gained an angel today. We grieve in our loss but so thankful we were able to be with her, knowing she is free of all pain and suffering. Fly away sweet Robin spread your wings, and watch over all of us. We love you with all our hearts and soul.

She was born on August 3, 1950 in Evansville, Ind., to the late Robert Beeler Heal Jr. and Anna Marie (Carlton) she was raised in Wadesville, Ind., with three loving sisters. She attended North Posey High School and graduated in 1968. She attended data processing school in Evansville upon graduating on November 6, 1972 she started working at Evansville Water Department where she was supervisor of Data Processing, she retired in 2002. She is Coowner of Fireside Galleries in Evansville, Ind., with her husband Cleon. She was united in marriage on March 7, 1997 to Wyman Cleon Redmon after a beautiful courtship of seven years.

Robin enjoyed music, gardening (She raised beautiful Orchids), girl trips to Eleuthera, cruises, and of course her beautiful grandsons.

She enjoyed many family gatherings especially Easter dinner. She was in charge

of the deviled eggs and the cream cheese filled celery in Easter pastel colors. She was a beautiful person inside and out with a multitude of friends. She loved IU basketball and the Indianapolis Colts. She was so proud of her children, Zak and Erica. She and Cleon enjoyed beautiful times together over the past 30 years.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert Beeler Heal Jr. and Anna Marie Heal.

Robin is survived by her husband Cleon of 23 years; one son Zak Dorsey (Zoe) of Coral Springs, Fla.; one daughter, Erica Dorsey (Matt Laherty) of Bloomington, Ind.; two grandsons Reed and Ryder Dorsey; three sisters, Hazelann Hutchison (Larry) of Wadesville, Ind., Peggy Motz (Armand) of Poseyville, and Susan Crawford of Evansville; sister-in-law, Betty McCoy; stepdaughter, Jennifer Nunning (Jim); step granddaughter, Hadley Nunning; step grandson, Jack Nunning; stepson, Brett Redmon (Julie); step granddaughters, Loly-Ann, and Lilah Redmon; the father of her children Lamont Dorsey; many nieces and nephews who loved her dearly and her fur friend, Lady.

A Hairy Subject Well, I got to thinking

B that buying an inexpenC P sive piece of fake hair Madeleine, I sat here for several minutes, casting around in my mind for a vastly dierent subject to write about. Hopefully many folks will continue to stay safely home, and not spread death. So I am going to write about one of small, unimportant side eects of all this.

Some time ago, I started getting my hair â€œďŹ xedâ€? once a week, and now it seems like one of those necessary things of my life. I am not very good using a curling iron anymore. I have a tendency to drop it and burn myself. If I have to, I suppose I can go back to doing my hair, but prefer to “wait it out.â€? Hopefully that won’t be months in coming.

Way back in the early 70’s, I bought a very cheap wig, and when I didn’t want to bother with “doing� my hair, I just put it on. It wasn’t very good quality, so it probably resembled a bad Barbie wig. I was working at Hirsch’s in Poseyville, and I could just pop it on and go.

would solve the current problem. After all, I am not going any place, anyway. I will miss the morning chats with Leigh Ann and some of her other clients, but I can always send an email, etc.

A lot of other “old ladies� go and have their hair done.

Just because one gets a bit older, we still want to look as good as possible. If I glance in the mirror on my way to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I kinda scare myself.

I am, in no way, making light of folks who have to wear a wig because of cancer treatments or other physical problems. I just thought it might be a cheap way to be able to go out in public. Many young actresses use those long extensions, which kind of remind me of Rapunzel. I don’t think I could pull that o.

Back when it was in fashion, I put my very long hair up with hairpins into those huge curls, all piled up on my head. Kind of like a Marie Antoinette Halloween wig. I had it done for a

wedding in the 70’s, and it looked just like that.

Well, I clicked onto Amazon and searched for wigs.

I was surprised to see that most were like the long extension look, or obviously for an old lady with white or gray hair. I only found a couple that were even close to my normal look and the right color.

I laughed when I saw one that resembled the way some women actually have theirs done on purpose. I can never understand why anyone would want it to look like it was cut by a blind monkey with a chain saw.

I have never understood the crazy choices in hair style. Ever since the bar scene in the ďŹ rst Star Wars, many folks seem to be trying to out-do the alien look in various ways. Even old ladies sometimes sport pink hair.

One can justify having crazy and unattering hair all they want, but it does give others the impression that they can’t be taken seriously. If you are about to have open heart surgery, would you really feel conďŹ dent if your surgeon had

Hans Schmitz - PC Purdue Ex. Educator From Planting to Germination Planting season is well underway, with early soybeans taking a bit of a precedent over corn planting in an unusual turn for this area of the state. Some farmers are starting with corn and planting, while others have completed early ďŹ eldwork and waited to put seed into the ground until warmer temperatures prevail over a longer time period. How important are soil and air temperatures to corn and soybean germination, and which crop fairs better with cooler temperatures?

For corn, the optimal time from planting to emergence is 115 to 120 growing degree days, according to Purdue Corn Specialist Bob Nielsen and his recent article “When Should Corn Planting Begin?� That window from planting to emergence is key because the longer a seed spends in the ground without the photosynthetic machinery above ground or elongating roots below ground, the more likely soil-borne fungi or very wet conditions, or both, can kill the germinating seed.

Calculating growing degree days in the soil is a little easier than in the air, as soil temperatures are a little less variable day to day than air temperatures. As of April 9, bare soil temperatures in Knox County were falling from a high on the 8th of 72 degrees down below 60 degrees. Since growing degree days rely on a base 50 degree standard, with every degree above 50 sustained for a day counting as one growing degree day (or an average obtained over a day from which 50 can be subtracted), a 60 degree average soil temperature accumulates 10 growing degree days per day, allowing corn to emerge in about 12 days. For faster emergence, warmer temperatures are needed, as ideal windows for emergence are 7 days or less. To get to seven days, we need to accumulate 16 to 17 growing degree days

each day, corresponding to a soil temperature of 66 degrees. Hence the adage that soil temperatures for planting corn should be greater than 65 degrees.

In the case of soybean, recommendations from specialists at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln hold that soybeans should be planted after soil temperatures reach 50 degrees. Higher soil temperatures will speed emergence, but soil moisture tends to play a larger role in determining the success of planting. Water introduced to the seed is necessary for uptake, swelling, and sending the hypocotyl towards the surface, but the temperature of this water needs to be greater than 40 degrees, ideally greater than 50 degrees to prevent chilling injury. From university to university, treatment of recommendations for planting early soybeans dier, but the University of Missouri does recommend 60-degree soil temperatures for optimum emergence uniformity.

Soybeans seem to respond a little better to cooler soil temperatures, although damping o or seedling rot is still of concern. Meanwhile, early planting dates for crop insurance purposes begin for soybeans on April 15, with the early corn date having been April 1. This discrepancy certainly imposes extra risk to those planting soybeans early. However, 2019 showed everyone that the risk of not planting or planting very late due to long wet periods where ďŹ eldwork could not occur may be the greater of the two concerns. Climate Prediction Center outlooks through June still show a likelihood for above average precipitation for Indiana, which does mean farmers will have to take planting windows when the weather allows them to be open. For more information, contact Hans at hschmitz@purdue.edu or 812-838-1331.

weird purple spiked hair, with a face full of piercings?

I know this look has been in our society for a while now, but it does not represent the individual in their best possible way.

I also hate to see old ladies stop doing anything with their hair. I now understand why it is easier to have it cut shorter than their husband, and just hop in the shower and they are done. I have seen couples when it was hard to ďŹ gure out which one was the wife. I totally understand and support that it is now acceptable for everyone to be who they identify with. However that is not what I am referring to.

Also, the current “wet

Hairstyle 50 years ago and today. feather� look is not attering to anyone. Like so many other things, I will never understand why folks follow unattractive trends. I kind of miss going to WalMart just to be able to see how some people get themselves up.

Well, I will try to choose something in the wig choices on Amazon, and order it.

They are quite reasonably priced, so I might just get a crazy one, too. Gotta do something to spice up a very dierent summer, after all.

Briefly

Sermon of the Week: Ezra 9:6 Brother Tom 6 I prayed, “My God, I am too ashamed and embarrassed to lift up my face to you, my God, because our sins are so many. They are higher than our heads. Our guilt even reaches up to the sky.

How many times have we failed to confess our sins?

How many times have we used the excuse, “Everybody does it�? How many times have we caved into the social pressures of our land? How many times have we accepted that which was wrong and not being really that bad? In Ezra’s time God’s people had sinned. They had simply gone with the flow. They had forgotten all the things that God had told them. They were living just like all the other people and had forgotten that they were God’s chosen people. God had told them not to mess with other people and do the things they did.

When people lower their standards of the things that are Godly and morally right problems follow. The people of God within the confines of the church have forgotten God’s standards. God told us to we are to come out and be

separate from unbelievers yet we do the same things they do. As believers we have allowed the voices of the ungodly to become loud and we have followed them. And our sins continue to grow and God’s judgment is upon us.

America has two major problems at this time. Our greatest problem is not a virus or an economy. Our greatest problem is we have unconfessed sins and we feel no guilt about these sins. We are guilty of worshipping false gods. We worship sports, money, activities, and peo-

ple. We pay homage to God but there is no real worship.

There is no guilt because we think if we give God one or two hours a week we have accomplished a great deal.

And we ask, “Where have we sinned�? We ask, “What are we doing that’s so bad�?

God has said, “Yet my people have forgotten me days without number�. (Jeremiah 2:32) That’s the problem we face today. We have forgotten God and our sins are higher than our heads and our guilt reaches the sky but we fail to admit it.

~Vintage/ Collectable Cars, Trucks and SUVs ~Antique Gas Pumps and Bicycles ~Vintage Signage/ Advertisements ~We appraise classic vehicles ~

But God is willing to forgive us if we will only confess our sin and return to Him. It’s not that we just confess our sins, but we must repent and turn from our sins.

America and her people can overcome our present difficulties if we return to God in confession and repentance.

I have prayed for you this morning. I have prayed that we remember the blessings of God and return to God in confession and repentance.

Mount Vernon Port $2 million Capital Improvement Project complete

Investments Include New Overhead Gantry Crane, Concrete Floor in General Cargo Terminal.

MOUNT VERNON, Ind. (April 10, 2020) –The Port of Indiana-Mount Vernon recently completed a $2 million capital improvement project geared toward attracting more cargo to the southwest Indiana port. The 40-year-old general cargo terminal facility has a new concrete floor and an overhead gantry crane, making the terminal an asset for generations.

The electric-powered crane spans 75 feet and has a 60ton lifting capacity with twin, 30-ton hoists. It is used to load and unload general cargo between barge, rail, truck and warehouse. The new 53,000 square-foot transit shed floor can sustain load-bearing capacity to accommodate the maximum weights of any general cargo.

“We planned the capital improvement projects around a key component of our targeted marketing strategy to attract a steel-related facility to the Port of Indiana-Mount Vernon’s 544-acre megasite,” said Port of Indiana-Mount Vernon Port Director Phil Wilzbacher. “The overhead gantry crane is well-suited to handle steel coils. The concrete floor brings the original facility to a nearly like-new condition.”

The port offers existing infrastructure to efficiently handle both general cargo and bulk commodities by barge,

rail and truck modes. Currently, port officials are working with multiple companies to direct steel barges to Port of Indiana-Mount Vernon.

“Our terminal updates will also help enhance the Mount Vernon port’s capabilities in handling container-on-barge shipments,” said Wilzbacher. “We are looking forward to new opportunities for our current and future companies.”

The new overhead crane was manufactured near Milwaukee, WI., by Zenar Corporation and assembled by a Mount Vernon-based company, TMI Mechanical Contractors. The crane will be operated by Consolidated Terminal and Logistics Company (CTLC), a long-time port company and general cargo terminal operator. Rivertown Construction, a southwest Indiana company, installed the transit shed floor in early 2019.

About the Port of Indiana-Mount Vernon: Opened in 1976 and operated by Ports of Indiana, a statewide port authority managing three ports on the Ohio River and Lake Michigan. Established in 1961, the Ports of Indiana is a self-funded enterprise dedicated to growing Indiana’s economy by developing and maintaining a world-class port system. Information: portsofindiana.com.

‘Chemo buddy masks’, continued from Page A1 wear and I did casual wear work. Toward the end of my time there, I was doing formal wear as well. I signed on to work two days per week, six hours per day. I ended up working 60 to 80 hours per week. That was too much.”

Friends who knew Susan did alteration and repair work kept calling her after she left the shop, so she decided to try to work from home.

She made a yard sign and advertised some on Facebook. Before long, Susan found herself busy with weddings, proms, buttons, hems and dance costumes.

As an adult, Susan was asked to participate in Vanderburgh County 4-H. She participates in the Extension Homemakers Yayas organization. The group meets once a month and is all about crafts and volunteerism. Many of her fellow Yayas are also making masks.

The Yayas also raise money for the Ronald McDonald House and assist in many areas with the Vanderburgh County 4H Fair. They also donate their time assisting those in the I CAN Project (women’s shelters in Evansville). They teach women how to perform minor sewing repairs and assist the women in becoming self-sustaining. They have also created a crockpot program, whereby they provide crockpots and teach the women how to

prepare simple meals from provided recipes.

The Yayas have also developed a reading program for children.

“Whenever there is a need, the Yayas jump on it. My friend, Robin Lax, who taught with me at Cynthia Heights, is always volunteering the two of us for something, and I enjoy it.”

Susan, who began her college education at Houghton College in New York State, eventually moved to Madisonville, Kentucky, and graduated from Murray State in 1982. She received her Master’s Degree in special education and elementary education from Indiana State University in 1989.

Rex and Susan have been married for 37 years. They met in Henderson, Kentucky.

“A handsome redhead asked me to dance and that was it.”

Rex and Susan love to travel all over the country in their spare time, especially to car shows. Among their cars are a 1963 Chevy Impala convertible and a 1948 Pontiac.

The Yarbors have two daughters, Kelcie (of Louisville, Kentucky) and Shelby Dalrymple (of Cynthiana). They have a grandson, Abel (son of Matt and Shelby Dalrymple), and love that he lives close enough for plenty of grandparent time.

Mount Vernon Board of Works meets by virtual means

By Lois Mittino Gray Mount Vernon Mayor Bill Curtis entered the world of virtual ‘social distancing’ when he conducted the March 26, Mount Vernon Board of Works meeting electronically in City Hall using the Zoom website. The Mayor sent email invitations to attend to board members, department heads, City Attorney Beth Higgins, Clerk-Treasurer Christi Sitzman and the local media.

“I’ve attended four Zoom meetings this week, but this is the first one I’ve hosted to conduct city business,” he told attendees. “I think it’s going very well. You guys look good on the big screen.”

Banter about favorite football teams and chit chat about the weather could be heard as invited participants checked in onscreen and waited for nine bells to chime to get started on time. Reports were made and business was conducted as usual, after ground rules were laid out for meeting in this format to limit the number of people at gatherings, Curtis explained that Indiana Public Access Counselor Luke H. Britt suggested that during video meetings, roll call votes should be taken at all times. Higgins agreed and said all votes, even with this small size board, will need to be roll call votes, with minutes taken to record the actions.

Board Member Andy

Hoehn asked Higgins if the board can authorize Curtis to sign bills on their behalf, as they come in, so business can continue and keep Sitzman in the clear as well. The attorney responded in the affirmative, stating that claims can be emailed to the board members, approved for payment, and then ratified at another time at a later meeting.

The Mayor and board members discussed ways to include the public in on the Zoom meetings. It was agreed that the public can and will be invited to join a Zoom meeting, should a person choose to do so, but they will not be given audio access to speak at the meeting. “It could get very difficult to hear, if many people tried to talk back at once at these meetings with background sounds and all,” Curtis noted.

Another way to encourage citizen viewing is to post Zoom recordings to the city website for anyone to view at any time. Currently, the Mayor said he was using the Zoom app for free for the allowable forty minutes. He told the board that for twenty dollars per month, the meetings can be recorded, saved to the Cloud, and then downloaded and put on the city website for public access. “If we do this, it will actually give people more access to meetings than we’ve ever had before,” Curtis said.

Board members Hoehn and Dodd agreed and unani-

mously approved spending the twenty dollar a month fee to record the Zoom meetings and post them to the city website. He said he will get information to the Common Council and Water Utility Board as well to do the same.

In other action taken at the meeting: • During the Legal portion of the agenda, a street cut permit for Keith Spurgeon was unanimously approved. Chastain Excavating will make the approximately 5’ long by 24” wide cut in the alley, located behind 322 West Eighth Street, by Mill Street.

• Fire Chief Wes Dixon reported the fire department had 36 medical calls, one car accident, and one fire run, since the last meeting. Curtis stated that Dixon also said they are sending one man in the pickup truck on calls, instead of the engine.

• Hoehn observed that the water is getting high on the riverfront around Sherburne Park and they may need to put some barricades up to avoid people driving down there.

“It’s not real horrible now, but we want to take a safe approach, and don’t want cars to drive through the water,” Hoehn commented. Street Commissioner Max Dieterle explained that there are no barricades up at the riverfront because the river is receding at the moment. He spoke with some of the barge crews and trucks need to be able to get through to deliver supplies to the tugs for them. The Mayor and board members agreed

with that statement that the supplies are necessary.

Hoehn said he brought it up because he just read on Facebook that people are making an issue of the water being up

and always being told not to drive through high water, but there were no barricades up.

He wondered if they could put up a ‘High Water’ sign or something akin. They will

leave that action to Dieterle’s discretion. In conclusion, the Street Commissioner summed it up succinctly with, “Facebook needs to just shelter in place.”

Posey employees get extended FMLA benefits, Order extended

By Lois Mittino Gray President Carl Schmitz sat behind the big desk at the Hovey House to conduct the April 7, meeting of the Posey County Commissioners, with only County Auditor Maegen Greenwell and County Attorney Joe Harrison by his side.

The other two County Commissioners, Randy Thornburg and Jay Price, literally “phoned it in” participating by telephone. All three conducted business in compliance with COVID-19 mandates to not hold gatherings with over ten people.

After doing routine matters of approving minutes and claims, the officials passed COVID-19 emergency order continuations. They also approved Emergency Paid Sick Leave and expanded Family and Medical Leave for county employees, in accordance with the Families First Corona Virus Response Act. Schmitz said the current County Emergency Order, signed by them on March 17, will expire that day. It has already been extended twice via executive order and that is the allowable limit without passing another order. Price made a motion to sign a new Emergency Order, effective until April 14, and allowing it to be extended via executive order another two times afterwards. The motion carried with a vote of 3-0.

The Commissioners also passed at an earlier date, an Emergency Order dealing with the closures of certain businesses in the county that

deliver personal services in close proximity to customers. President Schmitz stated this is due to expire on Friday, April 10. Schmitz believes the recent Governor’s orders now cover this group and the commissioners can let their orders expire. Thornburg made a motion to let the county order expire and just follow the Governor’s mandates. The motion carried with a vote of 3-0.

Harrison explained to the commissioners what the required benefits of the Family and Medical Leave and Sick Leave will be, in accordance with the Families First Corona Virus Response Act. County employees are entitled to ten weeks paid family leave for several different reasons that are laid out in the act, starting from April 1 through December 31, 2020.

Harrison stated the main reason is to care for children during the time when schools and daycares are closed. Notices have been posted in all County Buildings explaining the program.

Harrison informed the commissioners the Families First Act also entitles county employees to a two-week paid sick leave, in addition to any other benefit time the employee might earn through the county. This guaranteed sick leave is two weeks at the normal pay rate if they fall into the first three categories explained on the posted notice and cannot telework. The three categories are those in quarantine by federal and state orders, those put in quarantine by a healthcare professional, and those in quaran-

tine while being tested. If the employee falls into categories four, five and six, they are entitled to 2/3 of their normal pay rate. This includes caring for person quarantined in situations 1,2, and 3 and caring for children hom from school and day cares. Motions were made to pass the Sick Leave and Family Leave Acts as mandated and passed 3-0.

In other county business: • During Legals, a spirited discussion ensued with the second reading of the ordinance amending the Employee Handbook to reflect a minimum age requirement of 18 to be a county employee. Price made a motion to approve this ordinance, which Schmitz seconded.

During the discussion period on the motion, Thornburg stated he opposed the amendment ordinance because, “According to the Indiana Department of Labor, all Freshmen, Sophomore, and Junior students are allowed to work.

I feel it would be good for the county if we had the chance to teach work skills to this age group,” he observed.

Thornburg noted that State Form 896 lays out what would be allowed and what wouldn’t for the young age group. For example, under age 18 cannot operate power tools and mowers.

Schmitz said he is in favor of the ordinance, due to the potential liability issues. He told about kids in the past who had problems with mowers on steep hills or ditches near the highway.

Thornburg reminded Schmitz that they can’t

use power tools anyway. A vote was called and the motion carried with a vote of 2-1, with Mr. Thornburg opposing the amended ordinance • Commissioners approved the low bids opened at the last meeting for county highway materials. County Highway Superintendent Steve Schenk looked them over and submitted the following recommendations for approval.

Section A for chip and seal went to J.H Rudolph with the low bid. Section B for cold mix and hot mix for patching went to both Rudolph and David Enterprise. Section C AE90 for total patch loaded on county tank trucks, as well as Section D AE90, delivered to the Poseyville Garage, for the 6,000-gallon total patch tank also went to J. H Rudolph with low bid. For Section 8 materials, three bids were accepted. J. H. Rudolph has the low firm bid, David Enterprise has the back up with firm bid, and E&B Paving was given the with escalation bid.

• Schmitz read the March Animal Control report as follows: 27 complaints, 7 animal pickups, 1 animal euthanized, and 3 bite reports, with one animal testing positive for rabies.

• Schmitz took time to thank the County’s First Responders and Health Care Professionals. He added he would also like to thank the entire community for its response to this pandemic. He has been in contact with the local food banks and they all stated they are fully stocked at this time. “Let’s continue to work so well together,” he urged.

“I switched us over to German Township on water,” Camp said.

Assuming things go smoothly from here on out, for the most part Camp believes the field house facility could be operational by the fall football season.

“South Terrace has its own field bed and North Elementary is the only building on an actual city sewer system,” Camp explained.

The area around South Terrace is also in dire need of a better sewer situation. The Regional Sewer District is in the process of attempting to gain enough support to apply for a state grant that would help build a system in the area to accommodate what has been sloppy conditions down through the years.

“I have been for that all down through the years because there are people out there without field beds and when their septic system fills up, they would put a sump pump in there and drop the gray water off into the ditch,” Camp said with disdain. “We had a huge problem with that and it finally got stopped.”

There was a time when some of the gray water ended up on South Terrace property, partic-

ularly on the second baseball field at the school.

Even though the problem has been “fixed” as far as the school system is concerned, the second baseball field is still no longer used.

South Terrace School also needed attention.

While much of the needed work was finished first at North Elementary, an antiquated playground existed at South Terrace that was actually unsafe. Because it was already built and standing, state officials gave their blessing for the equipment to be “grandfathered” in but it did not meet code. But when renovations began at the school, the playground was one of the places that was upgraded and is now among the best.

While much has been done and improved, regular maintenance will still need to be performed on the buildings, which are beginning to age. However, huge credit goes to the school maintenance staff for the buildings being in good shape despite their age.

Only time will tell what work will need to be completed next. One of the bond issues is nearing being paid off. Time and necessity will dictate which projects will be done in the future.

‘NP Improvements’, continued from Page A1 hadn’t already had trouble out there is because we hadn’t gone into many low-flow commodes or anything like that,” Camp said. “There was a lot of water going through it but it was so flat and so near the top of the ground, it simply wasn’t working properly.”

To help alleviate the problem, administrators and architects decided to begin to try and repair the entire system in an effort to prevent even more and worse problems down the road.

Since the water table is so high and the system is so flat, the sewer will now be injected out to the sewage plant.

“We had to go through the architects and the environmentalists to try and figure out the size pumps that were needed for the fix,” Camp said. “That will fix a lot of the problems and when we begin renovating restrooms or anything inside the buildings with the low-flow commodes, there will not be problems.”

Tests have had to be provided regularly, to make sure the school septic system is functioning properly and doing what it is supposed to be doing for the safety of all concerned. The septic system has been in place since the school

was built in 1959.

“That system is working now but it is getting antiquated and is eventually going to need some attention,” Camp concluded. “And you know that type of problem is expensive.”

Camp emphasized that with steady enrollment now, down from several years ago, the system has successfully handled a larger load than it currently is handling. However, looking to the future is one reason administrators and builders have decided to make the current system more efficient.

A rolled pipe will be inserted inside the currently existing pipe so the sewage can be injected into the sewage tank. The tank will probably be the first part to need attention and some of the grinder pumps have already been replaced.

“The methane gas that sewage puts off eats through concrete walls so we will eventually have to do something with that structure out there,” he warned.

Also, the school was on a water well system, comprised of four large wells, up until about five years ago.

‘New principals’ continued from Page A1 Harbors Corporation. Eric is active in the Mount Vernon athletic program, announcing Varsity football games and various events throughout the community.

Bushard completed her undergraduate work in Secondary English Education at the University of Southern Indiana and recently earned her Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Ball State University. During her graduate level studies, Bushard completed an administrative internship under Superintendent Thompson and one semester with Marrs Principal Weese. “I was mentored by the best in the business, which helped prepare me for my own career in administration. I am honored to have learned and worked alongside both of these leaders,” she reflected. “I am passionate about this community and I am honored to serve the students, teachers, and families of Marrs Elementary; I know from experience that the students, parents, faculty and staff are among the finest in the state.”

Natosha Bruner describes herself as “beyond excited to be the Principal at Farmersville Elementary and part of the Farmersville Falcon community. My experience as the Assistant Principal at Mount Vernon Junior High for the past two years has allowed me to appreciate the phenomenal educators, students, support staff and community of MSD of Mount Vernon. I see Farmersville Elementary School as a place that cultivates and grows our future leaders. My door is always open and I would love to hear from those invested in the school’s continued success.”

Before serving as the Junior High Assistant Principal, Bruner spent the previous seven years teaching science in the middle school milieu. Before that time, she has experience working in the elementary setting for seven years. Principal Bruner describes herself as a “forever educator, a passionate lifelong learner who loves her family and community, and as someone who sees my career as a calling and growth. I believe in public education, our students, teachers, educational support staff, families and community. Beginning on day one, our students become ‘our kids’ as we build relationships, offer high quality learning experiences with scaffold supports and create a culture where students and educational centers of learning thrive.”

In other personnel matters, the board accepted the intent to retire from Darla Edwards after 25 years of service as a high school Biology teacher, Booster Club sponsor, and junior high assistant volleyball coach. Lisa Schum submitted her resignation as a Special Education teacher at Marrs Elementary after 40 years of service. Both retirements will be effective the end of the 2019-20 school year and both employees will be sorely missed.

Resignations were accepted from John Schelhorn and Dustin Seitz as assistant high school football coaches, effective immediately. The board also approved Kristi Burns to attend the Movement Matters for Learning workshop at the SIEC Center in Jasper at a rescheduled date in the future.

In continuing COVID-19 business, the board adopted a resolution to authorize the Superintendent or his designees “to take all necessary and appropriate action for the safety of our school community for the remainder of the COVID-19 related restrictions.”

After a lengthy discussion on “treating people fairly”, the board adopted a resolution to authorize continued wage payments to employees who suffer a loss in pay due to the pandemic-related emergency closure. The board feels that continuing to pay them after closure will maintain morale, reduce turnover, and ensure the continuity of staffing when school reopens. Director of Business Loren Evans estimated that about 100 employees would be affected by this generous action.

Dr. Thompson spoke about the success of the Grab and Go lunch program to feed school children not in the classroom, which started up on March 31. Federal guidelines relaxed the requirement for students to be present to receive the free lunch.

Anyone 18 years of age and under may get a free lunch at any of three possible locations: the high school at door 2, Marrs Elementary at door 2, and West Elementary at Door 1 on the Circle Drive. Times are from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. “We served 250 meals today. Anyone 18 or under may get a lunch to go. They do not even have to be registered at one of our schools and they do not need to be present to pick it up,” he said. More information is available at the website: www.mvschool.org.

Dr. Thompson announced that final exams are waived and they are waiting for Department of Education feedback in regards to grades. Dr. Thompson is talking with seniors now about a possible date for graduation. He said he is “working on a Plan B.” The next board meeting is slated for Monday, April 20 at 5:45 p.m.in the high school cafeteria.

Quality Family Time...

‘NP projects’, continued from Page A1 safety committees are in place at this point.

At the high school, workers are beginning to put up materials where the students can see out but people on the outside cannot see anyone inside. North Elementary is next in line for this product to be applied. South Terrace is currently getting pricing.

In the area of sports and physical education, a large amount of progress has been made over the past few months. Five locker rooms have received an abundance of attention and work.

“We created a new girl’s PE locker room and with that have also helped settle some of the Title 9 issues that existed between boys and girls PE and dressing rooms and the likes,” Camp said.

There are now both a boys and girls PE dressing room on the north side near the auxiliary gymnasium at the high school. A varsity locker room has been made for the boys and another for the girls and also a visitor’s locker room. A smaller official’s locker room has also been completed at the high school.

The boys varsity locker room, which was used primarily for boys basketball located with an entrance from the gymnasium, can now be used for other sports such as track and tennis. The girls varsity room can also now be used for a variety of sports,

‘Crashes’, continued from Page A1 crashes are always tough, but the first responders always take it harder when juveniles are involved. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families involved in the crash.”

Another accident this week has left a Posey County woman in critical condition fighting for her life.

Indiana Conservation Officers investigated an off-road vehicle (ORV) accident that occurred April 7 in Posey County.

Posey County Central Dispatch received a 911 call at 4:28 p.m. about an ORV accident near the intersection of Hidbrader Road and Lang Road in New Harmony.

Indiana Conservation Officer Keith Wildeman responded to the scene, where the operator of the ORV was trapped underneath the ORV. Wildeman, with the assistance of bystanders, got the ORV off of the operator.

Initial investigation showed that the ORV was being driven Patricia Word, 56, of New Harmony.

She was traveling westbound on Hidbrader Road, pulling a trailer, when she lost control, overturning the ORV. A registered nurse who made the 911 call rendered aid until the ambulance arrived.

Word was transported to Deaconess Hospital Midtown with head and spine injuries. She remains in the hospital in critical condition.

The investigation is still ongoing.

Helmets and protective riding gear were not being worn at the time of the accident. Indiana Conservation Officers recommend using all available safety equipment, and Indiana law requires anyone under 18 who is operator or passenger on an ORV to wear a helmet. For more information on ORV safety, see offroad-ed.com/indiana.

Assisting agencies from Indiana included Wadesville Fire Department, Posey EMS, Posey County Sheriff’s Department, and New Harmony Fire Department.

both indoor and outdoor.

With regards to school safety and school cost control, a visitor’s locker room has now been created. All visitors will use the same locker room. The visitor’s locker room is located just inside the front of the left side of the gymnasium which formerly housed only the girls locker room.

“We were able to knock out some walls and make that girls locker room the same size as the boys,” Camp said. “And because we are building a field house and an indoor practice facility, there is a locker room out there.”

‘Limb shooting’, continued from Page A1 first responders are faced with, this is a prime example of poor judgment in creating an additional risk to emergency personnel who are working to provide a service most beneficial to the Posey County communities.”

As the investigation continues more charges may follow.

“Actions such as these are ridiculous. It’s very frustrating for my office and others to respond and deal with this type of behavior,” Latham said. “We will continue to work hard on this case in efforts of making sure it’s completed to the fullest.”

PAGE A8 - THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS A M I M S B B C Has this interruption created a stir in your life? Do money, possessions, and social status suddenly seem like a imsy house of cards?

Has this event in time caused you worry, depression, anxiety, or fear?

I want you to look in the mirror and ask yourself what you are most afraid of and where do you put your trust. “I know both how to be abased (humbled), and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.â€? -Philippians 4:12-13.

I remember being young in my faith and just reading Phillippians 4:13, but not receiving the context surrounding the verse. I remember the positive motivation it brought to my heart and that was a good thing. In times like today, we also need verse 12.

APRIL 14, 2020

Inconvenience or Hardship As Americans we know how to be in abound and full. Do we know how to be abased, hungry, and suer need? Do we even really understand hardship verses inconvenience?

Inconvenience is not being able to go out and eat at your favorite restaurant and have a date night with that special someone. It is school being cancelled along with sports of all kind. It’s being stuck in the house all day with a television, computer and tablet, but the WIFI is not working at 100 percent. Inconvenience causes an interruption to a comfortable life.

Hardships are trying to explain to a toddler why we cannot go to church, play at the park, visit family, or give them a birthday party like we promised. They are when the lights get shut o, the heat goes out in the middle of winter, losing a loved one and not getting to say goodbye. Hardships ache the body, mind and soul.

How long will this pestilence last? Will the stimulus checks be enough to get us through? Will someone come up with a vaccine?

When can we go back to the movies? Will I ever see another sporting event? Why do I have to miss my vacation? When can I show people how much fun I’m having as I post to my favorite social media? These are inconveniences.

How many people across the world will die of starvation, TB, Inuenza or AIDS? How many people will lose their job, battle depression, and struggle with thoughts of suicide? How many people will die, not knowing Jesus as their personal savior? These are examples of hardships. “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.

In the world ye shall have tribulation (severe aictions, distresses in life): but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.� –John 16:33 Brothers and sisters: Sometimes we have to remember that He is God and we are not. We pray that His will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. God wants to hear our prayers, but He does not need our help to decide what needs to be done or how it should be done.

When is the last time you prayed

for something that you needed and not merely wanted? When is the last time you prayed for your enemy? Maybe you need to pray for the strength to endure, rather than a quick ďŹ x. “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.â€? -Isaiah 40:31.

Maybe God has a revival planned.

Maybe He is waiting on you. Now is the time to be still, and remember that He is the one who walked on water. He is the one that healed the blind, fed the hungry, and raised the dead. He is the one that died for us while we were yet sinners. He paid the price for our sins on the cross.

This Sunday we celebrate the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord.

He was born of a virgin, in a manger, rode in on a donkey, was beaten and nailed to a cross, but He also resurrected (Rising again). Many people were witness to this and gave testimony even though it cost them their life. He asks that you admit to being a sinner in need of a

savior, ask Him to be your personal savior, repent (To feel pain or regret for sins) of your sins, be born again, forgive others, love Him with all you are and love your neighbors as yourself. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.� –Ephesians 2:8-9 He’s coming back soon. No one knows the hour, though many will predict. It is important that we stay ready. He comes like a thief in the night. That is why you should always be ready. Are you certain where you would spend eternity if you died today? Spend some time with your family. Open your Bible.

Have some discussions.

No matter your thoughts on the event that has taken place throughout the world, it has caused us to reassess the way we move forward.

Life will go on, but the “reset� button has been set. Just because we can’t meet at the church, does not mean that we stop being the church.

Now is the time to pray, love, worship, and study His word like never before.

Letters to the Editor Hoosier utility customers could be on the hook for $128 million Hoosiers could be on the hook for an additional $128 million because of a controversial new law that narrowly passed the Indiana General Assembly last month.

House Bill 1414 was created to protect the coal industry and preserve the status quo for another year while the newly-formed 21st Century Energy Policy Task Force reviews Indiana’s energy landscape and reports back to the legislature and Governor in 2021.

The law directly aects two aging coal plants, Kyger Creek and Clifty Creek, which are owned by the Ohio Valley Electric Corporation (OVEC). The plants, located near Portsmouth, Ohio, and Madison, Ind., were built 65 years ago to provide power to the Portsmouth Uranium Enrichment Facility.

That facility closed 18 years ago.

One of the more contentious provisions of HB 1414 protects these aging coal plants— deďŹ ned in the bill as “legacy generation resources.â€? Make no mistake: These plants are no longer competitive in today’s energy marketplace.

OVEC’s cost of power increased by nearly 60 percent from 2007 to 2018, in large part due to declining generation and ill-advised investments. The plants continued to operate even after 2008, when gas and energy market prices began to decline precipitously.

Why does this matter to Hoosiers?

B R P Rewind to 1972: I bought my ďŹ rst guitar – a $70 Yamaha – in the fall of 1972. It was also around that time that I became acquainted with the music of John Prine. I can’t remember which came ďŹ rst, but it really doesn’t matter because both milestones are inextricably bound in my memories. Prine’s chord progressions were simple, perfect for a beginning player, and his lyrics were simultaneously simple and profound. His words could evoke laughter or tears, sometimes both in the same song.

So I set about learning some Prine songs. One of the ďŹ rst tunes I ever learned was “Paradise,â€? a simple three-chord waltz about a small town in Kentucky that disappeared when the Peabody Coal Company moved in. The tune became per-

operate here—Indiana Michigan Power Company (I&M) and Southern Indiana Gas & Electric Company, or Vectren Energy Delivery (Vectren).

A new report from Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis found that these two plants are not needed for grid reliability, and I&M and Vectren customers will likely end up paying more than $128 million above market power costs to keep the plants in service between 2020 and 2026.

Market conditions, including low gas prices and increasing competition from declining-cost renewable resources, will continue to undermine the plants’ viability for years to come. Now is not the time to increase utility rates to pay for obsolete coal plants.

A more prudent course of action would be to retire the two plants, encourage development of renewable resources and provide ďŹ scal support to local communities through a multi-year energy transition period. Any future federal stimulus package must include support for workers and their families impacted by any layos that might occur during the inevitable energy transition.

The Posey County Health Department on Facebook gives updates on the latest number of COVID-19 cases in the county and state, key takeaways from Gov. Eric Holcomb’s announcements and new resources available for testing patients.

With a lot of misinformation being shared

On the Passing of John Prine haps the most sung campďŹ re song in history. The chorus is familiar: Daddy, won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg County down by the Green River where Paradise lay?

I’m sorry, my son, but you’re too late in asking.

Mr. Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away.

Today I don’t think of “Paradise� so much as an environmental anthem or an indictment of the coal industry as a longing for simpler times, a bittersweet homage to childhood, a shrine to people and places that exist only in memory.

The song begins: “When I was a child, my family would travel down to western Kentucky, where my parents were born‌â€?

Rewind to 1962: When I was a child, my family (mom, dad, brother, and sister) once traveled down to Muhlenberg County to watch the world’s largest shovel scoop out tons of earth from a huge crater way back in

the hills. Along for the ride on that trip were my aunt, uncle, and three cousins. All of us squeezed in my uncle’s old Ford station wagon. We munched sandwiches and swilled soda pop as we sat in the car and watched the shovel do its work. We marveled at its size, and we were proud that it had been built the Bucyrus Erie Company, headquartered in Evansville, Indiana. The Bucyrus Erie Company no longer exists. My parents, uncle, and one cousin have also passed on.

In the years since I bought that guitar, I learned other Prine songs. “Hello in There,â€? “Please Don’t Bury Me,â€? “Sam Stone,â€? “Angel from Montgomery,â€? and “Grandpa Was a Carpenterâ€? found their way into my repertoire when I started gigging in coeehouses and bars.

John Prine was my ďŹ rst guitar hero.

He set the standard that thousands of aspiring singer-songwriters, myself included, tried to reach.

his pain. Yet Kennedy did not take the position America owed him anything. In his presidential inaugural address of January 20, 1961 he exhorted us to ask not what our country can do for us but what we can do for our country.

And as the English poet John Donne (1572-1631) advised, when one hears a bell tolling because someone has died, it tolls for each of us because we are all involved in mankind. As Donne observed, each person’s death diminishes us all.

Our current conict pits all of us against a frightening enemy. It is COVID-19 against us all much as our country has been attacked many times before. Previous Americans have had to make similar diďŹƒcult

Modern d Americans A i have h been b blessed by the sacriďŹ ces of many before us. We can hope each person who gave their lives in service to America believed the Roman poet Horace (65 BCE-08 BCE) was correct: Est dulce et decor pro patria morte.

Kennedy was injured in battle in World War II and suered severe back pain because of it. As a young man he sat in a rocking chair to ease

sacriďŹ ces. Through no one’s fault, including our own, it is now our time to face tough choices. My experiences with Americans and a reading of our country’s history convinces me that we are up to the challenge.

Oh, I am aware we could ignore the virus and it would eventually die out as we develop natural anti-bodies to it. We might lose a couple of million people from COVID-19 and then millions more later as COVID-19 becomes COVID-20, 21, etc., as it mutates. But chances are most of our country’s 330 million people would survive, the economy would recover quickly and as the folk singer Phil Ochs (1940-1976) wrote, probably hardly anyone would long notice, “.. outside of a small circle of

Prine gave a concert in Stillwater, Oklahoma, where I attended graduate school and later worked as arts editor for the local newspaper. I arranged a backstage interview after his show at Gallagher Hall (which was outstanding, by the way).

One of my Okie singer-songwriter friends, Greg Jacobs, accompanied me backstage. Greg was an even bigger fan than I was, if that’s possible. His gigs were always liberally sprinkled with Prine gems.

During the interview, Prine was cordial, courteous, friendly, funny, and down to earth. He answered my questions thoroughly and thoughtfully. What I remember most about that interview, however, is Greg saying something like, “Mr. Prine, it’s an honor to meet you.

I do twenty-ďŹ ve of your songs,â€? to which Prine paused, scratched his whiskers, grinned, and replied, “Gee, I only do nineteen.â€?

Such was my brush with greatness.

friends�. Fortunately, most Americans see their duty to their country more as recommended by President Kennedy.

However, it is not easy. A great many people have had important matters in their lives simply devastated by the enemy and our collective response to it. Weddings, funerals, religious services, life savings, graduations and countless other vital and important matters have been ravaged by something completely beyond the aected people’s control and something for which they bear no blame. We should recognize these sacriďŹ ces just as we know we have been blessed by the selessness of previous Americans.

But with a steadfast resoluteness

I’ve kept up with Prine’s music over the years. His last album, “Tree of Forgiveness,� was a masterpiece. Like all Prine albums, it is chock full of wry humor, especially when he speculates about the afterlife, but his lyrics also carry serious thought-provoking underpinnings.

Clearly, Prine could see the end in sight. As the title indicates, the theme of forgiveness runs through the album, along with getting one’s house in order, and embracing the beauty and the sorrow of here and now.

John Prine passed away last week, a victim of the Coronavirus.

Whether they cut him up and pass him all around or let his ashes oat down the Green River I cannot say. Perhaps Paradise is waiting.

Perhaps he is already in heaven smoking a cigarette nine miles long. Whatever the case, I do know this: His memory will live on, as will his words and his melodies.

Fare thee well, John Prine. Living in a world without you is going to take some getting used to.

we can weather this storm by applying proven guidelines until we defeat this scourge, which we most certainly will do within the next few months.

We are in a Marathon. It started out as a battle against a ďŹ erce enemy from Asia much as the ancient Greeks faced when the Persians attacked. We are now well on the way to victory. It is no longer more than twenty-six miles. Athens is in sight but we must stay the course for awhile longer. Pheidippides made it the whole way in 490 BCE and so can we.

LaVanchy selected to the Rawlings All-Region Team

Kyle LaVanchy Special to the News North Posey junior Kyle LaVanchy was recently selected to the 2020 Rawlings Perfect Game Pre-Season Underclass All-Region Team. This honor was announced one day before Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb announced that school will be cancelled for the rest of the 2019-20 year along with all spring sports being cancelled for this season due to the Coronavirus outbreak. The timing of the world pandemic could not have come at a worse time. On the bright side, LaVanchy is only a junior and he will be back for his senior year during the 2021 season. LaVanchy is a good student/

athlete with a great attitude towards the game and outside the game.

LaVanchy has played at the varsity level ever since his first practice at North Posey. During his freshman season, LaVanchy was second on the team in hitting with a .357 batting average. His sophomore year, he led the Vikings in hitting with a .439 batting average. He also was named firstteam All-Pocket Athletic Conference during the 2019 season. Over the last two years, LaVanchy has received multiple offers and interest from many Division one and two programs. Last fall, LaVanchy verbally announced he will continue his baseball career at Murray State University after graduation. In LaVanchy’s two seasons at North Posey, the team has won two sectional championship and made it to the regional finals on both occasions. LaVanchy has been a big part of the Viking baseball teams success. At the same time, the North Posey baseball team is loaded with many talented players. Some of the Viking players have the potential to follow in the footsteps of LaVanchy and former Viking/current University of Louisville pitcher Shane Harris to play baseball at the next level.

I spoke to LaVanchy last week and we talked about the North Posey baseball team. We also talked about his future at Murray State University. LaVanchy mentioned when he verbally committed to playing baseball at Murray State. LaVanchy said, “it is a very humbling and great feeling. It has always been a dream of mine to play Division I baseball.

It felt like I was at home when I was on the campus. The coaching staff made me feel very welcome. It has been great building a relationship with them.”

When LaVanchy was notified he was selected for the 2020 Rawlings Perfect Game Underclass All-Region Team.

Lavanchy said, “it was an honor receiving the award and being recognized for all the hard work that I have put into this game.” One of LaVanchy’s goals before he completes his high school baseball career is to bring home a state title

for the community.

Some of LaVanchy’s favorite moments at North Posey have been when the Vikings won two sectional championships back to back. Another favorite moment was when the Vikings beat Tecumseh in the 2019 regular season. After the Tecumseh game, North Posey found out they won the Pocket Athletic Conference Championshp outright. The final of favorite moments was when he pitched a complete game in the 2019 Sectional Championship.

Throughout his life, LaVanchy mentioned that his biggest influence for his success in baseball is his father. LaVanchy said, “he has always pushed me to be the best teammate and the best baseball player that I could be. From all the balls he has thrown to me and with me. I couldn’t thank him enough for all the time and effort he has put forth making me the person and player I am today.”

This year, Mark Kirkman took over as the new head coach at North Posey. LaVanchy said, “Coach Kirkman is a great guy and leader on the field. He and his staff have been getting us ready for the season and obstacles that could be standing in our way. Coach Kirkman has been preparing us for success.”

During the summer and after the high school baseball season is complete, LaVanchy plays for Indiana Nitro Gold travel team. LaVanchy said, “Indiana Nitro Gold is one of the top teams in the Midwest. We have five Division I verbal commits on the team, along with multiple guys on the roster that have received offers who are undecided. My head coach Tim Burns was a big influencer and supporter of my decision to go to Murray State University.” At Murray State, LaVanchy plans to study either Exercise Science or Nursing.

LaVanchy indicated he wanted to thank all the Seniors and the Senior parents for all they have done for the team during the past few years. Also, LaVanchy wanted to thank Coach (Jesse) Simmons and Coach (Lance) Flener for the first seasons of his high school career.

Stan Gouard named USI men’s basketball head coach University of Southern Indiana Department of Athletics announced the hiring of USI alumnus Stan Gouard ‘99 as its new Men’s Basketball head coach. He becomes the 10th head coach in the history of the program.

“I was very excited that Stan had an interest in coming back to USI, a place he considers home,” said Jon Mark Hall, USI Director of Athletics. “Stan has been a part of the USI Athletic family as a player, assistant coach, and now the leader of the program. USI is very excited to have Stan back as a Screaming Eagle.”

“I want to thank USI President (Ronald) Rochon, Jon Mark Hall, and the search committee for this opportunity,” said Gouard. “I told my wife and daughter, we are Screaming EAGLES again! Words can not express how excited we are to be returning to Evansville and to the University of Southern Indiana.

“I also want to thank everyone at the University of Indianapolis for 12 wonderful years,” continued Gouard. “President (Robert) Manuel, Dr. (Sue) Willey, and Scott Young have been a tremendous support and am grateful for those relationships that allowed us to accomplish so much together. The opportunity to coach some of the best student athletes at UIndy comes to a bittersweet end and it saddens me to part ways from this team. We have accomplished so much, both on the court and off the court.

I trust that my guys know that I am only a phone call away if they ever need anything.

“My family and I are excited about this

new chapter in our lives and can’t wait to begin building relationships with our student athletes and their families,” concluded Gouard. “Go EAGLES!!”

Over the last 12 seasons, Gouard (pronounced juh-RARD) has lifted the Greyhound men’s basketball program back to national prominence. That success has included eight NCAA Division II Tournament appearances (2010-2016, 2020); multiple AllAmericans, a number one ranking (2014-15 season); and the 2014 GLVC Coach of the Year honor.

In 2019-20, Gouard directed the Greyhounds to a 24-6 overall record; a second place finish in the GLVC Point Ratings; a third place showing in the GLVC standings with a 15-5 league mark; and a number one seeding in the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional. Gouard and UIndy were set to host the 2020 NCAA II Midwest Regional until it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gouard has now spent over 20 years in college basketball. The stint includes four years as a student-athlete at USI and John A. Logan College (1992-1996); seven as an assistant coach with the Screaming Eagles (2001-02), UIndy (2002-05) and Indiana State (2005-08); and 12 as a head coach of the Greyhounds (2008-present).

Gouard became the fastest UIndy head coach to reach 150 victories when his 201516 team reached 20-wins for the fifth consecutive season. The 150th victory came in the NCAA II Midwest Regional when the

Greyhounds defeated 12th-ranked Ashland University.

UIndy made headlines during the 2010-11 preseason when they went on the road and defeated Division I/23rd-ranked University of Tennessee, 79-64, in Knoxville. Gouard and the Greyhounds opened eyes right away in 2009-10, defeating NCAA Division I Valparaiso University, 88-83, in the team’s first exhibition game.

Prior to coming the UIndy, Gouard was an assistant at Indiana State University for three seasons from 2005-08. Gouard mentored the Sycamore post players, including Missouri Valley Conference All-Freshman and All-Bench Team selection Isiah Martin, who broke the single-season blocks record at ISU by a freshman and led the entire conference in blocked shots.

As a player, Gouard helped lead the Eagles to national prominence over his three seasons. USI won the NCAA Division II national championship in 1995; reached the NCAA II Tournament finals in 1994; and was ranked number one nationally in 1995-96 before the Eagles were the top seed in the NCAA II Midwest Regional under former head coach Bruce Pearl. The Eagles also won two GLVC championships with Gouard, while soaring to an 82-12 three-year record.

Gouard was honored for his outstanding play by being named the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division II National Player of the Year in 1995 and 1996. He also was recognized as the NCAA II Elite Eight Most Outstanding Player and

Stan Gouard the CBS/Chevrolet Player of the Game in 1994. He was inducted into the John A. Logan College Hall of Fame in 1998; the Great Lakes Valley Conference Hall of Fame in 2003; and the USI Athletic Hall of Fame in 2007. He also received the key to the city of Evansville in 1996.

Following his collegiate career, Gouard played professionally for the Barrinquilla Ciamanes of Columbia, South America, leading his team to the 1999 championship.

Gouard also led his Sundsvall Dragon team in Sweden to the playoffs.

As native of Danville, Illinois, Gouard earned his bachelor of science in communications from USI. He and his wife Chasity have a daughter, Kennedy Noelle, who was born in December of 2009.
