Posey area communities to receive $800,000 for roads Special to the News Local communities were recently awarded over $800,000 in state matching grants to bolster road and bridge improvements, according to State Reps. Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville) and Matt Hostettler (R-Fort Branch). Over 200 Indiana cities, towns and counties received a combined total of $126.5 million through the Community Crossings Matching Grant program. The grants are made available through the Indiana Department of Transpor-
tation as a result of a law McNamara supported in 2017. “Investing in Indiana’s infrastructure is a local and state effort,” McNamara said. “Through this program, our communities both big and small can benefit and complete muchneeded road projects.” Posey County received $754,121 and New Harmony received $94,687 for local road projects in matching grants. McNamara said grant funding can be used
toward road and bridge preservation, road reconstruction, intersection improvements, guardrail replacements and signage. Smaller municipalities must provide a match of 25 percent in local funds, while large communities must provide a 50 percent match. According to Hostettler, more than $738 million has been distributed for local road projects through the Community Crossings program. State law requires annually that 50 percent of the available matching funds be
awarded to communities within counties with a population of 50,000 or fewer. “Roads connect Hoosiers, businesses and visitors across the state, and are vital to our economy,” Hostettler said. “Without this extra funding, local communities may not be able to make these improvements that help keep our cities and towns thriving.” An estimated $100 million will be available for communities opting to apply for these grants during the July 2020 call for projects.

Poseyville clean-up day reset By Lynda Baker The Poseyville Town Council met very briefly via Zoom last Tuesday, mainly for the purpose of paying the Town’s claims. A rate study was also on the agenda for the Town’s water and sewer utilities. The last study was done approximately six years ago. It is recommended that municipalities conduct a study every five years. It was decided by the Council that Callahan Utility Consulting would be hired to perform the study, which will take several months to complete. The Council unanimously agreed to postpone the Town’s Clean Up Day, which was scheduled for May 9, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Mitch Wagner, Troop 387 Scout Master, and Ronald Fallowfield, of the Recycle Center, were both consulted prior to the Council’s decision. Wagner informed the Council that all Scout participation activities have been suspended until further notice. The Town-wide Yard Sale has also been postponed until further notice. Council President Bruce Baker expressed his appreciation to local residents for their cooperation during the pandemic, and for those who have organized bear hunts, feeding programs, reading programs and special Easter activities for children. Councilmen Mike Baehl and Justin Collins expressed their appreciation as well, with Baehl adding that it had been wonderful to see townspeople out walking and enjoying the weather while social distancing.

Harmonist spring begins at Lenz House Special to the News In 1957 the Indiana Society was given a Rappite house, the Lenz House, in the town of New Harmony. The town which is on the Register of Historic Places was founded by a sect of the Lutheran church that first settled in Pennsylvania. New Harmony is now operated by the University of Southern Indiana and the State of Indiana. More than 15,000 visitors tour Lenz House annually.The Rappite settlers emigrated from Wurtemberg, Germany first settling in Pennsylvania and then migrating to Indiana in 1815. In 1825 the group returned to Pennsylvania despite successful commercial endeavors in New Harmony. The town was sold to Robert Owen of Scotland who was determined to form a new “Utopia” there. The Lenz House, an original settler’s home of the period, is restored to its original appearance including a vegetable and herb garden. A brick bake oven on the grounds is used for educational tours to illustrate baking methods of the period. The barn was rebuilt in 2011 to depict German craftsmanship of the era.
Harmonist Gardens The Harmonists were inspired by gardens they had seen in Germany. This includes inspiration for the labyrinth, according to one source, as almost every major European garden at the time had one. The garden at Heidelberg Castle had orange trees grown under glass; the Harmonists had an orangery, or moveable greenhouse. Paths in Harmonist gardens in Indiana would be straight and narrow. Vegetables were grown for household use, to feed the animals (for the cow, beets), and to sell to friends and neighbors. Flowers were grown along borders and fences for beauty and cut flowers for the house.

By Lois Mittino Gray A lingering question has finally been settled after a lengthy Zoom discussion among members of the Mount Vernon Common Council at its April 9, meeting. An amendment to the city ordinance concerning the residency requirement for members of the city Police and Fire Departments was passed on final reading, allowing officers to reside in adjoining counties. This will expand the pool from which new hires may be tapped and ensure high quality candidates for employment. The residency ordinance underwent changes from its first reading on February 27. At that time, the requirement was that officers needed to live within a 20 mile radius of the city limits, as proposed by Police Chief Tony Alldredge. At the March 12 meeting, the ordinance was amended to expand the residency requirement to the entirety of adjacent Gibson and Vanderburgh Counties. It passed on second reading with that amended wording. The third reading tonight had a surprise twist in that Councilman Andy Hoehn made a motion the ordinance be passed on this final reading, but amended to go back to the original 20 mile radius stipulation. The turnaround action was seconded by Councilwoman Jillian Brothers, so it could be discussed together. During motion discussion, Councilwoman Dana Baldwin cited a cost comparison she did on the entire ad-

NP’s Angela Bender announces plans to retire at year-end By Dave Pearce There is a position open in the administration staff of the Metropolitan School District of North Posey. At Monday evening’s North Posey School Board meeting, the board reluctantly accepted the notification of retirement of Asst. Supt. Dr. Angela Bender. Bender indicated that she had considered retirement for some time but after attending some meetings and realizing that she was already eligible for retirement, she realized that while there is no really perfect time to hand over the job to someone else, now is as good a time as any. “Actually, I had told the board that
Angela Bender
I was going to retire after the next school year,” Bender confessed. “But after I started going to all the retirement meetings, I realized that I could go ahead and go early.” Bender candidly spoke of the past few weeks of working primarily away from the office, it made her realize that she could find plenty of things to do if she retired. “I’ve eased into it with the COVID-19 pandemic,” she said. “I think I could handle it.” Bender became an administrator and climbed a ladder that a low percentage of females seem to be able to climb. She was in education when she had an older brother who became
disabled in his mid 20s. “I was just finishing up my degree in education so I decided to go to the University of Evansville to get my special education endorsements,” she explained. “That changed my trajectory into the special education area at that time.” Bender has been in education for 30 years but the first 22 of them were devoted to individuals with disabilities. Her first teaching assignment was actually at New Harmony School as a special education teacher. She was there for nine years and then went on to Mount Vernon and became the county educational diagnostician. In that job, she evaluated
students to see if they qualified for special education services. She went on to become the assistant director of special education for the entire county. “We had three school corporations back than and 14 schools (they also served the parochial schools) so that kept me hopping,” she said. But after 22 years in that field, the opportunity came available at North Posey in areas where she excelled and she has spent the last eight years of her career at North Posey. “This was actually a little slower pace than what I was doing before

All roads lead to a New Harmony Reporter gets first-hand information from New Harmony, Utah By Lois Mittino Gray Has anybody ever been to New Harmony, Utah? Jennifer Blevins asked this question on her Facebook page after receiving a recent shipment of vitamins. She noticed that it had been sent from a Utah town having the same name as the one she resides in in Indiana. I’ve been there and done that, as they say, and wrote her back to tell her of my sojourn in the tiny town. Back in 2008, my husband, Jim, and I did a month long trip out West in our pickup truck visiting national parks, relatives, tourist traps, and whatever looked interesting along the way. We collected wildflowers and rocks, saw my first Say’s Phoebe (a bird named after New Harmony’s famed naturalist, Thomas Say), thrilled watching Yellowstone’s geysers erupt, and even gambled on slot machines in saloons in Deadwood, South Dakota and under the bright lights of Vegas. We also decided to find New Harmony, Utah on our way to Zion National Park. The hamlet is located just a few miles off the major interstate highway, US 15, so it was an easy turnoff
(USPS 439-500)
heading south from Salt Lake City and Bryce Canyon National Park. According to the United States 2010 Census, the town had a whopping population of 210 people in a total area of 0.4 square miles. It had a post office, a fire station, a library, a city park, a cemetery, a church, and some modest houses. From the introduction to the town on its website, the town is supposedly named after Harmony, Pennsylvania. The Rappites founded that town and resided there before moving to Indiana in 1814 and founding our “New Harmony.” The link to our town is not clear, perhaps the Mormon pioneers who originally settled the area in 1852 admired Fr. Rapp’s tenets and values. They intended to develop the area as farm land and orchards and the Rappites were highly regarded as outstanding in those endeavors. They also wanted to mine and refine iron in the area. Settlers built a crude foundry in 1852, but abandoned it soon after, due to transport and logistics

PAGE A 4 - THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS D M B C P Madeleine, I am so glad that I took time to write three type-written pages on the day my mother was buried. I recently found one of the copies of that text. I remember that I could not cry when she actually passed away, nor for several years thereafter. When I re-read what I wrote that day, I could not stop crying. I am currently writing a new book, with the story of her time in California, and meeting my father. I only know the main facts, but I am pretty sure that the educated guesses I have made about what happened are fairly accurate. Poor little toddler Madeleine was almost the real victim when her little brother, Ewell Cli, died in 1913. She was just a toddler, and could not ďŹ gure out why Stella, her mother, was never quite the same. After all, just a baby herself, she still wanted and deserved the love and attention every child needs from a mother. I heard the story of that aw-

Grandma Knowles was watching the children, Madeleine and the month-old baby, on a hot July day and gave the little boy well water without boiling it. The bacteria in the water gave him dysentery and he died the next day. Possibly also suering from postpartum depression, Stella went into a state of mind she never fully recovered from. As soon as she could, she got pregnant again, with another little boy, who was to be named Van. Vowing to protect this baby, she gave him everything she could, for the rest of her life. He grew up spoiled and it was only in the last years of his life I could stand to be around him. He was an alcoholic and liked to make sarcastic comments to my mother. He was given everything when the he and his sister were growing up, and she knew from childhood that Stella loved him best. How awful it must have been for my poor little mother to try to do all that she could to get the love and at-

Except for the fact that she had an angry, bitter attitude in the last years of her life, Madeleine was a wonderful, giving mother, both to me and to my children. She always had time to play games with them, tend them when they were sick, and buy them little treats. In the end, all she wanted was more of my time, and to be shown love and respect. I didn’t understand all of that until it was years after her death. I can only hope that she can somehow hear me tell her now, almost daily, how much I love and miss her. She deserved so much more.

National and Local News 100 Years Ago News From The Western Star, April 21, 1920 - Mount Vernon
Special Note: Today’s news includes City Council notes, fires intentionally set, a new Handle factory, receiving more pledges to grow tomatoes, a 1920 track meet, and many more news briefs and personals. City Council - At the meeting of the Council Monday night, four representatives of Standard Oil Company were present and asked permission to erect a service station at Main and Fifth Streets. Mr. Mann’s contentions were that with a service station at this point, a continuation of business houses north on Main Street would be interfered with and there would be considerable traďŹƒc at this point. Another station (Consumer’s Service Station) is to be erected just opposite the Standard Station. All Councilmen voted in favor of allowing the cut to the curb accepting Mann. In other actions, the Street Commissioner reported that he had used all rock on hand in repairing streets, and that the street near Keck-Gonnerman foundry was badly in need of attention. The Street Commissioner was instructed by motion of Haas, to repair the walk and steps at Sherburne Park. The park plans to be open on May 1. Fire Bug Working In Mount Vernon Enough evidence has been secured by police and ďŹ re department oďŹƒcials to prove, beyond doubt, that the residence of John Bailey on Mulberry Street between Fifth and Sixth, was set on ďŹ re last night. The attempt was discovered at 9:30 when members of the family returned home from downtown. When they entered the house, they found every room ďŹ lled with smoke, and an alarm was at once turned in which was promptly answered by ďŹ remen. Members of the family and ďŹ remen discovered the cause of the smoke in the rear of the house, where an attempt had been made to ďŹ re the building. This is the second attempt made to ďŹ re the Bailey residence which is owned by W. H. Fogas. Start Factory Building Soon - Building will be started on the new factory of the Whitmore Handle Company the last of next month. The new location is situated on the site of the old canning factory on the Lower New Harmony Road and the L. & N. R. R., and will enable the management to double their capacity as well as have better shipping facilities. N. Williams is president of the company and Horace Smith is vice-president. Receiving More Pledges - George Kolb, manager of the Mount Vernon Canning Factory, is now located here permanently and since the arrival of the machinery has been delayed, which delays the erection of the factory, he is putting in a portion of his time in obtaining more tomato acreage for the factory. He is assisted by Simon Maurer and several farmers have called at the Maurer Grocery and asked to be given permission to sign for two to ďŹ ve acres. June 10, Mr. Kolb stated, is the last date for transplanting plants and plants will be furnished growers. He said that Mount Vernon is oering a price to growers that exceeds the Van Camp Com-
pany. High School Track Meet - The Owensville High School athletics, coached by John C. Krug, won the duel track meet from Mount Vernon High School at the Wolin Street grounds in this city Saturday. The ďŹ nal score was 77 to 41. The Mile Run - LaDuke First place, Benthall Second, and Huntsman Third. The 100 Yard Dash - T. Weir Third place. The 220 Yard Dash - McCarty Third place. The 440 Yard Dash - T. Weir Second, and Alldredge Third. The 800 Yard Dash LaDuke Second place, and McFadden Third. Running Broad Jump - Roach Second, and R. Weir Third. Low Hurdles - McCarty Second place. Shot Put - Espenschied Second place. The Excursion Boat “Queen of Western Watersâ€? - The entire proceeds from the ďŹ rst excursion will be placed in the Elks’ Christmas Fund for poor “kiddies.â€? News Briefs And Personals - New Harmony Fair - Interest is being centered toward making the New Harmony Fair bigger and better this year and more attractive to the farmer. This year the directors will place two large tents on the ground which will be used exclusively for the display of Posey County products and livestock. Caborn News - Everybody come to church Sunday morning as Rev. Williams of Chicago, will lecture on “Better Citizenship.â€? The services will be in English. Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Seifert called on Mr. and Mrs. George Schreiber, Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Hall called on Mrs. Bertha Ritzert and family Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Winiger have moved into their new home on the Henry Layer Farm. Sunday Trips and Visits - William Ashworth and family and Lloyd Redman spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Todd and children. Visits to the City - John Strattman was a business visitor to this city Monday and while here renewed his subscription to the Star. Tobias Hausman gave us his annual call yesterday.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the University of Southern Indiana has enacted safety measures for campus and other University properties. I wanted to share how these will impact our programs and operations in New Harmony, Indiana. All employees, other than limited personnel authorized to be on campus, are working remotely through April 30 (This is subject to change). All special events, conferences, meetings and classes hosted by Historic New Harmony and the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art, as well as programs hosted by outside organizations at these sites, are canceled through August 14. This includes events at all property owned or leased by the University of Southern Indiana. The Atheneum Visitors Center and the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art will re-open when the remote work order ends and USI staff are allowed to return to campus or respective New Harmony sites. In following with the University guidance for events, the 1 p.m. daily tour and any special tours of the Historic New Harmony properties are suspended through August 14. Self-guided walking tour booklets will be for sale at the Atheneum Museum Shop when it re-opens. The safety of the residents, visitors and staff is of the utmost importance to the University of Southern Indiana and we appreciate your understanding during this time

Sermon of the Week: Proverbs 4:26-27 26 Watch your step. Stick to the path and be safe. 27 Don’t sidetrack; pull back your foot from danger. Watch where you’re going! We have been told this many times. It is a command and it is a direction. If we don’t watch where we’re going we can get into all kinds of trouble. You may run into something, get hit by something, fall into something; the list can go on and on. The command is to be careful. The careless life that does not watch and follow directions will only lead to
trouble. Each day we must make choices and decisions which aect us and others. We must seek the leadership of God in carefully making decisions in where we are going. God’s word is a lamp unto our feet and a light to our path. We need to select those paths that are good for travel. There can and will be diďŹƒculties on the journey, but we have made the right choice. When we make good correct decisions, God will establish us. This is the promise of God that He will bless
our faithfulness. Our faith will be established. Our direction will be established. Our goals and our rewards in life will be established. God wants the best for His children, however, many times we wait too long to seek Him and His path for our life and we experience some of the diďŹƒculties of our past. But, when we seek Him, turn to the right path and do His will, God will help us overcome our diďŹƒculties. God wants to help us have an abundant life. It is available in Jesus.
Don’t get sidetracked. Stay on the path that God has designed for you. Often it’s easy to venture away from the safe course. When we see ourselves about to step into the snare of temptation we must pull our feet back. Satan would lead us astray but God will establish our going out and our coming in if we are willing to follow Him and watch where we are going. I have prayed for you this morning. I pray that in the diďŹƒculties we face we will watch our step, stick to the path and be safe.

Covid-19, We’ll find a way
B D . G M Social distancing is tough for most of us. We love gathering in ballgames, movies, theatres, restaurants, churches and with family. Seeing our neighbors and friends in the local grocery or chatting at the post oďŹƒce is a normalcy of life, was a normalcy of life. The new normal is shocking. Now we have to dodge people in the grocery store and be six feet apart in the post oďŹƒce all while wearing a mask. We don’t even know if our neighbor is in the grocery store or the post oďŹƒce. We can hardly recognize our neighbor walking by each other in the same subdivision if we are wearing our masks. Masks? Can you believe this? In rural East, Kentucky
our family didn’t go to restaurants because very few were around. We didn’t have a movie theatre. Entertainers did not come to our area so there weren’t any shows to attend. We did go to school events, lots of school ballgames and our families gathered periodically. We grew up around family and when the family got together there would be 100 or more people. We went to church a lot. People got together to play music, play ball or just talk on the front porch. People shook hands occasionally but we saw the same people all the time so there was never a feeling that we had to shake hands much. There really wasn’t a lot to do but we always found a way to enjoy life. We raised a lot of our food. My mom and dad canned and froze enough food to feed a family of seven. We had livestock. We
occasionally butchered a hog and occasionally a cow. For a little while we had chickens. We had a huge strawberry patch once. My grandfather ran a grocery store across the creek from where we lived. If we needed something from a store, we bought it from him and there was rarely more than ever one or two other people in the store so we were always socially distant. Walmart’s did not exist and there were no Amazon or Target deliveries. My grandpa did occasionally deliver groceries in his old truck. It wasn’t that bad, everybody seemed to ďŹ nd a way. We didn’t have the Internet or even a telephone until I was nine. Sometimes we would sit in grandma and grandpa’s big cane bottom chairs in the grocery store and talk while drinking a RC cola and eating a moon pie. Now,
that was living it up. We always found a way to enjoy life. Back in the day, when we needed people we could simply walk down the road and there were always
people out that we could say howdy to. It wasn’t that hard to ďŹ nd a way to be sociable. Right now, millions of people are hurting everywhere. We’ll ďŹ gure this out
and we’ll ďŹ nd a way. Contact Glenn at GMollette@aol.com. Learn more at www.glennmollette.com Like his facebook page at www.facebook.com/glennmollette.
Jim Tomes, State Senator Qualifying and Applying for Unemployment Because of the unfortunate circumstances and hardships that our businesses, proprietors and good citizens are enduring right now, I would like to share the information below for those who are looking for assistance. If you are having trouble getting assistance from any of these contacts below, you are welcome to contact me by phone at 317-232-9414 and by email at Senator.Tomes@iga.in.gov. The Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD) is working diligently to adapt to this unique situation and ensure that no Hoosier is left behind. The DWD is reminding Hoosiers that applying for unemployment insurance beneďŹ ts must be completed electronically at Unemployment. IN.gov. Click here for a FAQ sheet or call 800-891-6499 for assistance. Due to high call volume, some callers are getting a message that the phone number is not working. DWD is work-
V W B R P I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea. While both the quality and quantity of my sleep have diminished over time because of this condition, probably the three worst nights’ sleep in my life have come as a result of diagnosing and treating it. Back in March I did a two-day home sleep study. I strapped a sensing device to my chest on the ďŹ rst night and my belly on the second. Two wires ran from the device. One end attached to my pinkie, which glowed red like ET’s ďŹ ngertip when the machine was on. The other split into two wires that wrapped around the back of my

ing to correct this and answer calls as quickly as possible. During the current COVID-19 pandemic, you should be eligible for unemployment beneďŹ ts if you are unable to work because you have been ordered quarantined by a doctor, because you need to care for your children while their school or daycare is closed, or because your employer has shut down or laid you o. If your hours have been reduced due to COVID-19, you may also be eligible for beneďŹ ts, but any beneďŹ ts you receive will be reduced to reect that you have earned partial income from your employer. However, if you choose to stay home and not work during the pandemic, even though your employer is still operating, and you have not been told to stay home by a doctor, you will likely not be eligible for unemployment beneďŹ ts.
In addition, the CARES Act, which was recently passed by Congress, allows unemployment claimants to get an extra $600 per week during the COVID-19 pandemic. The DWD expects this extra money to start appearing in Hoosier beneďŹ t payments around April 20, and they will receive the extra pay retroactive to March 29. The CARES Act also makes self-employed individuals and gig workers temporarily eligible for unemployment beneďŹ ts in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The DWD is currently working to integrate these individuals into the unemployment system, so these individuals will have to wait longer before they start receiving beneďŹ ts. For more information and resources, including a recent archived video explaining common unemployment questions, visit in.gov/dwd.
CPAPnea head and over my ears. The two loose ends ďŹ t into my nostrils the way ear buds ďŹ t into one’s ears. I don’t know the technical name for them, so I will hereafter refer to them as nose buds. The wires leading into my nose were taped on my cheeks. They were not comfortable. I couldn’t sleep either night. At some point on night one, the nose buds worked their way out of my nose. I reinserted them when I discovered the problem. But sleep was shallow and short. In fact I don’t recall dozing o at all. On night two, the plug-in for ET’s ďŹ nger wire somehow freed itself from the jack in the box strapped to my abdomen. As before, I corrected the problem as soon as I discovered it. In the morning, I disconnected the apparatus and put it into a zip-lock bag. Groggily, I drove to the Sleep Center and deposited ev-
erything into a night depository box at the front door. I was delighted that the study was over and hopeful that I had furnished enough data for doctors to make a diagnosis. For the next week, I slept free and unfettered. Then one morning I got the phone call with the study results: “You have sleep apnea, Mr. Pease.â€? And so I made arrangements to pick up a CPAP machine. I drove back to the Sleep Center, where a technician gave me a tutorial, a CPAP machine and all its attachments, and a bunch of literature regarding use, cleaning, troubleshooting, etc. So began my life with the CPAP. The ďŹ rst night was worse than either of the sleep study nights. When I put the mask on, I looked like an elephant with a long plastic trunk. The cup in which my nose
rested would not keep a permanent seal. I constantly jiggled and wiggled it. Jets of cool air rushed into my nose, and I never got to sleep. (Or at least I don’t remember going to sleep.) At 4 a.m. I gave up. I yanked o the harness, disconnected the hose, and went o to watch television. An hour later I tried the CPAP again and still could not get to sleep. “Screw this thing!â€? I cussed loud enough to wake my wife, who had been sleeping soundly beside me. I disengaged again and eventually drifted o to sleep. Friends who sleep with a CPAP assure me that I will get used to it over time -- most of them anyway. They claim that it has made a world of dierence in the quality of their sleeping and waking lives. Perhaps I just need to tweak the air pressure or try out another mask, they
suggest. A few people, however, testify that they never did get used to the CPAP, even after months of eort. I was not exactly encouraged. I gave my new condition a name: CPAPnea (see-PAP-nee-ya). For the record, night two was better. The nose cup was more secure, even though I occasionally had to wiggle it, and the air ow was not obtrusive. It was almost like breathing normally. Night three was even better. But the improvement did not come without sacriďŹ ce. I shaved my mustache and Jerry Garcia beard in order to tighten the seal to the face. It worked. Readings on the machine indicate that my nocturnal apnea episodes are now minimal. Thus begins my foray into CPAP Nation. I trust that things keep getting better.
Janie’s Sermon
B J J R
My sister, Jane Redwine Bartlett, is a retired psychology assistant professor and a working lay minister. She gave the following Easter message electronically. As she received some Good personal News the following week she may see that as a reward. It is a nice thought. “Good Morning! We gather in worship on this strangest of Easter Sundays—almost as strange as that ďŹ rst Easter 2000 years ago. When in your life have you ever given up so much for Lent? Forget giving up chocolate or starches or alcohol. Forget, “Don’t give something up; get out and do something good for others.â€? This year Lent has called for big time sacriďŹ ce. We have given up freedom of movement, freedom of choice, jobs we love, family time around Easter ham, Mom’s brownies and colored eggs. We also mostly gave up Shrove Tuesday Pancake Breakfasts, Maundy Thursday’s fellowship meals and Good Friday’s Stations of the Cross. Some have given up income. Students have given up school and the important social interaction with friends, settling for parents REALLY as teachers—with results sometimes good; sometimes not so good. Many Moms and Dads have jobs or are trying to work from home. Teaching six dierent subjects to three dierent kids at three dierent grade levels while stirring the fried potatoes just isn’t fun. As writer David Brooks says, we humans are social animals. We have always been stronger and served our God better when we reach out to others. Now we are cautioned against reaching out. Touch has always healed yet now touch can carry a death sentence. Because kids aren’t in school, child abuse reports have dwindled—school is about more than education; school is often the only ‘safe’ place for hungry, abused and neglected children. Most worrisome for many of us is the giving up of our sense of safety and security—the, silent, unseen Covid 19 virus may be insidiously waiting just around the next corner or next aisle, not only for us but more importantly for one or more of our loved ones or friends. We may still have a job but are waiting for another round of layos. Almost 20 million unemployed boggles our minds as do the miles and miles of bread lines. When shopping for groceries or taking a walk in the park turns in to a possible contamination of self or others, our world is rocked. Few of us have ever experienced such restrictions,
and most of us have not experienced such pernicious fear or anxiety. When all has passed, what will our nation and our world resemble? Will we recognize those things we hold dear or will they have been forever changed? How about each of us? How are we being changed by this pandemic? Today’s scripture ďŹ nds Jesus’ disciples in a very similar situation. Their leader has been cruciďŹ ed, killed, buried. Roman and Jewish authorities are attempting to herd and capture them. They are frightened, hiding and fearing what will come next. Hear the words from John 20: 1-18. As you listen, put yourself in the place of each character—Jesus, the Angels, Peter, John, Mary. How do you think each was feeling? Just as everyone around us now is reacting dierently to what is going on, Mary, Peter, John and the others each react dierently to Jesus’ arrest, trial, cruciďŹ xion and the empty tomb. Some with awe; some with fear; some with disbelief, some with action. As observant Jews, the disciples and faithful followers of Jesus had to leave his body unattended until the next day or bury him quickly. Two of the Sanhedrin took charge—both wealthy enough to receive favors from their fellow Sanhedrin and from Pilate, Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea. I wonder if they were present for Jesus’ trial and chose not to speak? What gave them courage now, these secret followers, to claim the body of this homeless, itinerant carpenter? Peter fearfully and shamefully denied he was a follower of Jesus’, yet he almost beats John to the tomb on that ďŹ rst Easter Sunday morning and as the story plays out is still seen as a leader. Mary, grieving deeply over this man who accepted her with all her wrongdoing, came to anoint Jesus’ body, but ďŹ nds him missing. Mary rushes to tell Peter and John then returns to linger and mourn her loss. John, the disciple who the Bible tells us,â€? Jesus lovedâ€?, raced Peter to the tomb-- John’s ability to beat Peter at this race might have something to do with John’s youth. But apparently John didn’t have the nerve to enter the tomb, leaving that to Peter. When they saw the grave cloths were not disturbed but folded neatly, they were amazed. Fear that the Roman or Jewish leaders had stolen Jesus’ body coupled with fear of what was going to happen in this new world environment had to be as disturbing as our fears of what our new world environment oers. As Christians we celebrate Easter as a day of Life Breaking Death—we rejoice over the renewal and rejuvenation of all things that have been lost. What a relevant celebration for this scary time.

Just as Mary didn’t recognize Jesus until he called her name, we too have diďŹƒculty seeing God and Jesus in the midst of this pandemic—particularly since we not only have to winnow out what is true and right and good, but because we must discard so much misinformation and despair. As Mr. Roger’s said when asked what you tell children to do in times of disaster or despair, “You look for the helpers. Keep your eye on the helpers.â€? Excellent advice for all ages. I would say to you that God is in our midst, despite our inability to see God’s continual creating. In moments of doubt and confusion, darkness and struggle, fear and anxiety, it is normal for even faithful Christians to fail to see God, to ďŹ nd his loving goodness in the midst of despair. If we remember our mandate to “Love One Another as Jesus Loved,â€? we can see sparks of hope, in the dainty pink tulips I discovered on my front porch, in the eort of my eldest brother who called to play, “The Holy Cityâ€? on his saxophone for his siblings on National Sibling Day, in caring neighbors who bring soup and cinnamon rolls, in parents and teachers working together; in research scientists searching for a cure, in medical personnel who continue to treat Covid 19 patients even at risk of their health, in the RV’s for MD’s program New Song is investigating—we have the land and facilities; hopefully we can provide a service. The fear and pain are huge right now. The message of Easter is that we are called to act in large and small ways to mitigate that pain wherever we can, including not encouraging others to gather—even in small groups. The church has never been about the building but about our individual relationship with God and with one another. We will continue to Seek God, Create Community and Serve Humanity—that’s who we are. The message of the empty cross and the empty tomb is that Jesus lives. As long as he lives within our hearts, as long as we continue to step up and serve others, being safe and cautious as we push through our fears, being faithful to our calling to love as Jesus loved, Easter may be celebrated dierently; Easter might feel strange; but we each can come out of this quarantined, physically distanced world more connected, more loving, more kind and assured that God is alive, God is in our midst. He has risen; he has risen indeed.â€? For more Gavel Gamut articles go to www.jamesmredwine.com or “Like/Followâ€? us on Facebook & Twitter at JPegRanchBooks&Knitting.

THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS - PAGE A7
APRIL 21, 2020
‘New Harmony’ continued from Page A1 issues. By 1860, the town’s population was listed as 74. In 1862, the town was officially established and settled by families driven from Fort Harmony, when the fort had to be abandoned after most of its adobe walls were washed away. January and February brought months of heavy rains and the Great Flood of 1862. Was the town named after Fort Harmony then? One last possible reason for the name New Harmony is of my own origin. Driving the five miles from the highway to the little burg with its small houses, we noticed something unusual. There were several large “compounds” with heavy stone walls and many small ranch-type houses within them. At a time when polygamy was being discouraged by the Mormons in the mid-1850’s, did large families with many children and ‘sister wives’ move away from Salt Lake City to places of safe haven where it was not frowned upon? We even wondered if they
still actively practice polygamy today. The population high was 243 in 1870, but shrunk to 150 by 1880, and then went up and down from there. The estimate for the new census is 218 persons. The website describes itself “as a small, but thriving community of locals and commuters. Everyone knows everyone and the local post office is the general meeting place to visit. The nearest store is the gas station at the freeway exit five miles east of town, which is just fine with the townsfolk. There is truly a sense of community among the residents. If you run out of something, you borrow from your neighbor.” The website continues, “With a population of just over 200 residents, (not including the livestock) the town is close enough to Cedar City and Saint George for convenience and work, but far enough away to allow for great country living. Deer and other wildlife meander through the streets in the evening unafraid of the residents. At an elevation
of over 5,000 feet, the climate year-round avails itself to display all four seasons.” While we drove around, noticing no stores or restaurants, the town seemed to be enmeshed in poverty with large families, having many young children. The median income for a household in the town was $34,583, and the median income for a family was $36,250. Males had a median income of $23,750 versus $11,875 for females. About 15.6 percent of families and 14.1 percent of the population were below the poverty line, including 16.3 percent of those under the age of 18 and 18.2 percent of those sixty five or over, according to census figures. There were 69 households out of which 24.6 percent had children under the age of 18 living with them. Some 71.0 percent were married couples living together, 8.7 percent had a female householder with no husband present, and 14.5 percent were non-families. The racial makeup of the town was 98.95 percent White. Hispanic or Latino of any
race were 2.63 percent of the population. The median age is 43 years old. For every 100 females, there were 115.9 males. The area is very eye-catching. The forests are pinyon pines and the awe-inspiring peaks of Pine Mountain, Bumblebee Range and Kolob Canyon surround the town. A New Harmony trailhead is east of town to start several hiking trails in many directions. A colorful coded trail map is available for hikers, especially those wanting to do the Comanche Trail. The locals are active recyclers and use the money they make from that for their nature park and playgrounds. They have a Fourth of July Parade and a large Apple Fest in midOctober with vendors and sweet goods to eat. As the old saying goes, it was “a nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there.” They are all so isolated up in the foothills. I can imagine that ‘social distancing’ is probably pretty easy for them to do these days.
‘Mount Vernon’ continued from Page A1 joining county option versus the 20-mile radius restriction. She stated that using the 20 miles radius option, an applicant could live in Cynthiana and drive an assigned vehicle to and from work at a cost of $6,100 per year, based on the IRS Mileage Data. If they were to open this up to the entire adjoining counties, an employee could potentially live in Hazleton, and that amount would more than double to $14,500 per year. She added Alldredge originally asked for a 20 mile radius of the city limits and she would like to stay with his initial request. Councilman Rusty Levings remarked that he understands Baldwin’s concerns, but he is still for bringing in the adjoining counties, which broadens the city’s base of applicants. He added he trusts Alldredge’s judgement when he opined that the vehicles will not suffer from excessive wear and tear from extra mileage, as he has a vehicle replacement program in place which allows for rapid vehicle turnover. Levings believes the benefits outweigh the extra cost. “In the long run it could cost extra, but the opportunity to get more, better candidates, outweighs the cost,” he noted. Brothers stated she also understands the cost concerns, but she would prefer they keep this to include the adjoining counties. In so doing, they could potentially be bringing more families to the area. “If someone gets a job here, they may be more likely to move here and become a part of the school system,” she observed. Councilman David Dodd said he would defer to Alldredge’s opinion and asked him to comment. The Chief said opening the applicant pool up to adjoining counties would help quite a bit, especially if someone who lives in an adjoining county is already trained and ready to fill the position. He added he is fine with paying the extra commuting costs, as it may not involve that many. “The position only starts at $43,000 per year and that is quite a haul to drive to work every day. I would hope that for that kind of salary, they might then move closer,” he said. Baldwin stated she is not against doing this either way, she just asked that they take a look at the money. Hoehn stated eight times out of ten, the applicants will live within a 20 miles radius and he does not foresee that expanding the requirement area will change anything much. Curtis called for a roll call vote, as required in a Zoom meeting, on Hoehn’s earlier motion to go back to the 20 mile radius. That motion failed with only one ‘yes’ from Baldwin, and four ‘no’ votes from the others. Then a motion was made to pass the ordinance as amended to include entire adjacent counties and that passed unanimously on final reading. Officers can reside anywhere in both adjacent counties. In other council action: • A request from Evansville Western Railroad to make changes to West Water Street by vacating the south side of the railroad track from Barter Street to Mann and blocking access of the alley running north/south between Water and Ohio was
discussed. The railroad track runs right down the middle of the street and the railroad needs to move the track over about a foot. This would give the residents on the north side a wider street and hopefully help with drainage in the area. At its meeting earlier that day, the Board of Works recommended the council members proceed with the request. City Attorney Beth Higgins stated this action will require her to prepare a street vacation ordinance. “This evening, this is just to advise the council members that an ordinance will be coming to them shortly. No vote action is to be taken tonight,” she explained. • Hoehn broached the subject of cancelling the second meeting in April and holding off until May when, hopefully, everyone can be in the same room, at some distance. He asked if there was anything pressing that couldn’t wait until May. Curtis agreed there was nothing immediate that he was aware of and added they can always call a meeting if something arises. A motion to not meet again until the regular meeting in May carried unanimously 5-0. • The county Primary Election has been postponed due to COVID-19 and instead of being in May, it will be held sometime in June. According to the city salary ordinance, city employees have that day off and the ordinance states it will be May 2. Since the day off will happen before council meets again, Baldwin moved the day off for employees for Primary Election Day be moved from the date stated in the salary ordinance in May, to whenever the date will be moved, probably June 2, 2020. • Brothers stated there is an on-going issue with dogs running wild in her neighborhood at night from around 9 p.m. to 1 or 2 a.m. She added they have not been able to locate the dogs, but a Facebook post was made and there has been no issue since that time. Hopefully, that is the end of it as it is a safety issue. Brothers thanked the Mount Vernon Police Department and Animal Control for their help with the issue. • Hoehn noted that semis making deliveries to businesses are not making the turn onto Grant Street and are cutting through the Lawrence Addition again. He added he saw three just the other day. “Obviously the drivers are confused where to turn, but it appears the incidents are increasing quite dramatically again,” he commented. The Street Department has put up signs notifying truckers where to turn and for a while, the problem of semis in the subdivision abated. They also need to get larger signs out as the truckers GPS systems are taking them that way through the subdivision. Curtis agreed that the confusion was starting up again. Dieterle stated the signs are on the backburner until he gets caught up. Hoehn stated emphatically that “we need to get something done about it. I feel we need to make a fine that will get their attention, and I mean a pretty substantial fine, like $500. That would get the word out fast,” he told the board. Curtis agreed an increase in the fine would be a good idea. He stated he has
talked with GAF and they are trying to direct their drivers correctly after they are leaving the plant, but the problem is occurring before the delivery. Hoehn stated he feels they can get control of this if word gets out about a fine. • Baldwin commended Alldredge, Dixon, Dieterle and all of the city workers for keeping everyone safe and taking care of the community. Curtis remarked he would like to echo what Baldwin said about the city employees and department heads. He added they have a great crew out there working, picking up trash, etc., and they are being careful and taking as much caution as they can. • Dieterle announced the City Wide Cleanup will be May 11 through 15 and flyers will be going out soon, as well as information posted on the website. Rebuilding the new packer garage on Kimball Street that was destroyed by fire last year was started today by DC Metal and there is no timeline on its completion as yet. • Dieterle also announced that patching has started around town today and it should be done by tomorrow. Milling will start on Tuesday. Baldwin asked if they will mainly be milling in the Lawrence Addition area and the Commissioner replied in the affirmative.

‘Poseyville’ continued from Page A1 added that he was pleased to see townspeople spending more family time together. All of the Councilmen agreed that their first concern was that everyone practice social distancing and stay safe. Clerk/Treasurer Christie Foster presented a gas tracker indicating a greatly reduced rate. The Council approved the Gas Tracker, which will result
in a lower gas utility rate for Town customers. The next meeting of the Town Council will be held Tuesday, May 12, 2020, at 5:30 p.m. The meeting is tentatively scheduled at the Poseyville Town Hall. In the event the meeting is changed to a Zoom meeting, the meeting information will be posted on the Town’s Facebook page.
‘Bender’ continued from Page A1 because there was only one school district,” she explained. Looking ahead, Bender believes that she will miss all the relationships that have been formed over the years. “I will miss the pace of the school year and the excitement of the beginning of another school year,” she said with a laugh. “It never really goes away. You get excited about Christmas break and you get excited over snow days and graduation…” Bender said she will miss everyone in “a very strong administrative team.” “Everyone gets along well and we have just a dynamic group of individuals,” she said. “I’m going to miss that aspect but in another way, I know that I am leaving North Posey in capable hands. I feel good about that.” Bender’s transition from the Mount Vernon area to the North Posey School Corporation was an interesting turn of events. Even though her special education contract was under Mount Vernon, she worked at all three school districts. “At that time, Dr. Camp had been the school superintendent for a few years and he was trying to do it on his own,” Bender said. “At that time the law changed and a new evaluation system came into play. They simply had to have another administrator at the central office. I had actually gone through the training for the new RISE evaluation system. They asked me if I would be interested in the job.” And the offer came at a good time. Mount Vernon had been in a financial crunch and administrators had taken as much as a 9 percent pay cut. At that same time, the cost of insurance provided through the system in Mount Vernon nearly doubled in price. “It was just an opportunity I didn’t want to pass up,” she said. Admittedly, Mount Vernon was able to turn the financial crisis around but Bender has been very happy working to help the schools in the North Posey district. “I could chunk my job into about three areas with curriculum being probably the primary area. I also was heavily involved in the evaluation system and the competitive grant writing has really taken off,” she related. “I have 12 competitive grants now that I write. It comes close to a quarter million dollars a year for North Posey. Initially I was hoping to reach a million dollars in grant writing but at this point, I have written nearly $2 million. I’ll always be proud of that because it brought programs to the students and opportunities for the teachers and the community that they otherwise would not have had.”

She went on to say that teachers are inspiring, with the amount of time and effort they put into their craft. “It’s just amazing to me their creativity,” she said. “Even after 30 years, it was always inspiring when I walked into a classroom to do an observation. All the ways that they came up with to engage the students and keep them interested at a time when attention spans are so limited due to technology. They do a great job and it is hard work.” Bender is the mother of four children. Jeremiah is the oldest and he graduated from Vermont Law School and is currently a policy writer for HUD. Son Bill graduated from IU and works in the field of plumbing. Elijah, Wabash College graduate, is a high school teacher in Cincinnati and Chloe, the youngest, earned a master degree in social work from USI and employed as a social worker. Chloe will marry long-time boyfriend Travis in October and Bender has thoroughly enjoyed helping plan their special day and is very much looking forward to it. Although overall, Bender is happy with the direction her life has taken but she sometimes wonders how things would have turned out had she gone to law school. “I deal with a lot of law right now, especially special education law,” she said. “But raising a family, it’s been very convenient to have the type of working calendar that I have. I have been off the same times that my kids were out of school and that was so important back when I was raising kids. I could attend their sporting events and spend quality time with them. But I have always been interested in law and policy.” Bender is heavily involved with higher education programs at USI and is helping with the development of their doctoral program there. As a matter of fact, she plans to continue teaching special education law and policy at USI. One difficulty Bender feels she shares with other working
mothers is finding the balance between work and raising a family. “Sometimes, I devoted more time to my career than I care to admit,” she said more seriously. “But I am looking forward to having a lot of good quality family time, especially now that Bill (Bender) and I have a blended family of seven kids, two daughter in-laws, one grandchild and Harold. Harold is a three-sport athlete so he keeps us on the go.” There could be some travel in the future once Harold finishes high school. But Bill loves his law practice and at the current time, has no plans or desire to slow down. Bender says she hopes to be able to slow down some, as she sits on several boards and seems to have a problem saying “no” when asked to serve. “Looking back, I have enjoyed my career and feel like maybe I broke some barriers since only 14 percent of superintendents are females,” she said. “And if people remember me with the words ‘patient’ and ‘kind’, I believe that I will be able to say I had a successful career.” She is the daughter of William and Joy Holler of Mount Vernon. Her father passed away when she was a teenager and her mother remarried and is now Joy Diefenbaugh. She has degrees from USI and Indiana University and a doctorate (Ph.D) degree from Walden University, based in Minneapolis. Her official first day of retirement will be July 1 but she continues to plan and worry about the next person carrying on the grants and the programs which she has helped institute here. She will make herself available to help with the transition as she moves on to the next phase of her life.

Volume 140 Edition 16
S Posey native Simpson continues to shine in hockey By Chris Morlan Wadesville native Cole Simpson has spent the past three seasons going to school and playing hockey in Colorado. His first season of hockey was with the Colorado Evolution U16. “that Evolution team was coached by Sergei Bautin, who was a great coach that helped with my development a lot.” Simpson said. During the last two hockey seasons, Simpson has played in the North American Prospects Hockey League (NAPHL) with the Colorado Springs Tigers. The Tigers are a 18U AAA team. Simpson said, “once the Evolution folded, I had to find a new team. A few weeks after the season, I got a call from Coach Holmstrom to come down and skate at tryouts. I went down that weekend and looked at the two workout facilities and the rink and I loved it. I made the team and stayed ever since.” Prior to Simpson arriving in Colorado. Simpson went to North Posey High School for his freshman year. Since then, Simpson has lived at the Colorado Springs Training Center year-round. He has been going to high school and playing hockey in Colorado since. Cole’s parents still reside in Wadesville and keep in close contact with him. This year was Simpson’s senior year in high school, and he is unfortunate like the entire Class of 2020 to not have a graduation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Over his time with the Tigers, Simpson said, “everything with the Tigers program is professional, the facilities, the coaches and the commitment. The teammates that I have had the last two years will be my friends for life and the coaches have helped my game so much to get to this point. My last two years in Colorado for the Tigers. It’s been amazing. Both years of 18s, Kevin Holmstrom has been my head
Cole Simpson
coach. He is the most committed coach I’ve ever played for, and he works hard with every player to give them a chance at the next level.” This past season, Simpson recorded 14 points (11 goals and three assists) in 23 games with the Tigers. During this years’ playoffs, Simpson scored five goals. At the end of this season, Simpson was moving again. On March 17, 2020, Simpson signed a North American Hockey League (NAHL) tender agreement with the Odessa Jackalopes for the 2020-2021 season. Simpson said, “I talked to (Tigers) Coach (Kevin) Holmstrom about it and he said (Odessa director of player personnel) Tim Christian from the Jackalopes gave me a call and we talked a little and he said they offer me a tender.” Simpson is the third member from the Tigers AAA 18U team who has signed an NAHL tender. Simpson said, “my Tiger 18U team, during my first year went down to Odessa and played two games against the Arizona Bobcats. I loved the locker room and the rink. The city seemed nice and Odessa seems like a great town to be a hockey player in.” During Simpson’s early childhood years, he grew up near Evansville, Indiana. Simpson realized early on that the game of hockey was his calling in life. “where I’m from, hockey is not very big, but I got started because of a babysitter of mine when I was around three or four.
