Black River Center asks to join Poseyville Sewer System By Theresa Bratcher Brian Bullock, project manager with BLN engineering, was present. He had a proposal for The Town of Poseyville to accept the sewage from the Black River Rest Stop. A map was provided for consideration. They are proposing that the rest stop install needed sewage lines and equipment. At the time of completion, the Town of Poseyville will take ownership and maintenance of lines and equipment. They would like the town to consider a wholesale rate or what is called and INDOT rate of service. This will be a sewage only line being installed with a grinder at the rest stop. Approximately 26,000 feet of line will be run in this project. Tonight, the BLN company would like to see if the board would consider moving forward with negotiations. Negotiations will
start with a contract agreement to be approved by the board and reviewed by town attorney William Bender, at a later date. Jeremy Farrar, town operator/manager, was present via zoom to interject his thoughts he expressed concerns on the slow times for the rest area (winter months) with little no movement in the pipes. This could cause issues with gas build up. Farrar wanted to know if they were considering any fix for this in the design process. BLN is in the beginning phase of this project will be reaching out to the county has they progress. The projected date for beginning the project is January 2024 and finishing sometime in 2025. Right-aways may be needed to be purchased. A motion was made to allow BLN to move forward with design and discussion to tie in
Black River Rest area sanitation. Brad Hudoff speaking on behalf of Smithville Broad band was on zoom to assist with any questions or concerns the board had on the Broadband project. Baehl led with the question of whether they would need right-of-way fees. The town would potentially have fees because of repair,s labor, and right-of-way purchases. The Smithville representative indicated he was not opposed to paying a fee he just wants the town to make a proposal of what they want. Collins indicated he feels there should be an annual fee to cover potential costs. Maybe a cost per foot. Hudoff said they had paid Bloomington a use of right-of-way. It was reasonable a one-time fee. They also had a per unit fee. The concern is in the older part of

Poseyville infrastructure may need repairing and they may cause additional cost due to the location of lines. Councilman Bruce Baker said the town would get a proposal together. Council asked William Bender to prepare and send off proposal to them. Again, cause for concern development of new subdivision and right-of-way that will then need to be purchased. Judy Baehl, representing Relay For Life, requested permission to hold the Town Wide Yard Sale sponsored by Relay for Life. The date requested was May 7, Mother’s Day weekend from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.. The Twon Council agreed that they would provide a dumpster for the towns use on that weekend. The Poseyville Police Department will be

By Lois Mittino Gray What does the future hold for the closed Holy Angels Catholic Church in New Harmony? The question of its fate is being considered at this time by its current owners, St. Francis Xavier Parish in Poseyville. With expensive maintenance and upkeep looming ahead, the aging historic structure may need to be sold, preserved through a grant process, or demolished. The Diocese of Evansville disbanded the Holy Angels parish community in July, 2014, and turned over ownership of the church, rectory and community center with its grounds to the Poseyville parish. The church was declared an oratory, or place where weddings and funerals could be held upon request, but regular masses would no longer be said there. Holy Angels originally began in 1898 as a mission church of St. Francis Xavier. Anne Scarafia, a former Holy Angels Parishioner, has extended an invitation to anyone interested in saving and preserving Holy Angels Church, located at 805 Main Street. She has arranged for Marsh Davis, the Indiana Director of Historic Landmarks, to meet with those interested in preserving the church building on Tuesday, April 12 at 11 a.m. The meeting will be in the Holy Angels Community Center. Father Ed Schnur, St. Francis Xavier Pastor, met with former parishioners of Holy Angels after mass on Sunday, March 20. At that time, he explained that the Buildings and Grounds Committee feels it is time to make some improvements to the church. He has bids that are about a year old ranging from $72,000 to $93,000 for repairs. The roof was replaced 25 years ago and needs it again. The window frames are breaking down and plexiglass put onto the vibrant stained glass

Mount Vernon Councilwoman Jillian Brothers is Phenominal By Lois Mittino Gray Mount Vernon School Social Worker Jillian Brothers received an extraordinary thirtieth birthday gift this year on March 29. At a banquet coinciding with her special three decade day, she was named the University of Southern Indiana’s Phenomenal Woman of 2022. After accepting the desktop plaque award, she commented, “I am so humbled by such an incredible honor. I’m so thankful for a career that allows me to spend every day serving my community and interacting with so many great people. I’m honored to be a part of their story!” Brothers said she was informed about a week before the presentation that she was nominated and then selected by the awards committee. Other USI professionals were also awarded honors that evening in student, faculty, staff, alumni and volunteer categories. “To be recognized for any award is a blessing, but the fact that this was an award for a woman takes it to another level. Women are up against a lot in their professions and we need to honor them. It was great to show them what I am about,” the honoree stated. “As the mother of three daughters, I want them to know they can do anything.” “I was surprised and humbled. I see both my jobs in
(USPS 439-500)
the community as my way of serving others. It is the nature of my work as a therapist and as a city councilwoman to give and follow this servant role,” she observed. The young professional is also the elected Mount Vernon City Council Member-at-Large and actively works on community issues and concerns. The honored USI alumna is a Mount Vernon native and member of the Mount Vernon High School Class of 2010. She earned a Bachelor Degree in Social Work from the University of Southern Indiana in 2015 and went on to earn her Master’s Degree from there in 2016. “I graduated with a 4.0 average,” she said with pride. After graduation, she was employed as a Social Worker for the North Posey School District for four years. She returned back to her Wildcat habitat when she accepted the Social Worker position for the Mount Vernon Senior and Junior High Schools this year. She has an office in both schools and shares time with each. “They are connected, so I can be contacted easily at either if I need to talk with a student or parent.” Jillian is also a busy mother-on the-go with a quartet of young children. The oldest Maliya is 10, Malzee is

Alicia Marion Lopez Alicia Marion Gatti Lopez, 82, went to heaven on Sunday, March 6, 2022. She died peacefully at home with loved ones and her hospice nurse. She was preceded in death by her husband of 52 years, Victor Lopez, in 2015, and her parents, Lawrence and Virginia Gatti. She is survived by her sisters, Rita Gatti and Katherine Toon (Joseph Toon), both of Mount Vernon, who loved her dearly, as well as many nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews who fondly called her Tia or Titi. She was an adoring aunt to all of them. She liked to give gifts of books, kites, hand made wind socks, delicate soaps, and take everyone out to eat. She was, after all, half Italian. Her little canine companion, Sadie, will miss her favorite lap. Alicia was born in New York City, but spent most of her adult life in Torrance, California. She was a Magna Cum Laude graduate of UCLA and held a Masters Degree in Library Science and a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish. She spoke both French and Spanish fluently. Alicia and Victor loved to travel. Paris and Dublin were their favorite
destinations. She worked for a short season as a children’s librarian and her love of books remained a passion throughout her lifetime. Both Alicia and Victor retired from Northrop Grumman in Torrance. She was a spec proofreader and Victor was a graphic designer. They relocated to Saint Philips in 2005 where they enjoyed the slower pace, the beautiful scenery, the kind neighbors, visits from friends and family, and the birds and wildlife surrounding their beloved home which they named Casa Lopez. Alicia was a long standing member of the Arbor Day Foundation and gifted her family with trees each year. Those who came to visit from far away were always given a complete tour of one of their favorite places, New Harmony. Alicia loved to laugh and to hug. She was an accomplished seamstress, known for her perfect finish work. As a young adult she created exquisite doll clothes for her much younger sister and bedecked her in beautiful dresses for Easter Sundays. In her elder years she loved to fashion costumes for plays and celebrations for her nieces and nephews.
Mary Susan Montgomery
She enjoyed taking the children to parks or to the beach to fly kites. Babies always loved to nestle in Alicia’s welcoming lap. Amongst family and friends she was known for her beautifully handwritten cards and notes with thoughtful sentiments, her loving patience and support, and her immense generosity. Sincere thanks to all those who sent cards, flowers, called, visited, and prayed, during her last months. Special appreciation goes to Heart to Heart Hospice for their reliable, skilled, and caring support without which we could not have kept her comfortable at home where she wanted to be. A celebration of Alicia’s life will be held at a later time.

Constant Vaal, three-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vaal was fatally injured at her home, eight miles southwest of Mount Vernon Monday. The accident occurred at noon when Mr. Vaal and Joseph Fischer were returning for dinner. Mr. Vaal alighted from his wagon and - opening the gate - entered the barnyard followed by Mr. Fischer who closed the gate. Going to his wagon on the left, Mr. Fischer did not see the child who ran from the yard to the right side of the wagon to climb upon the wheel. When the team started, she was hurled beneath the wheel. Mr. Fischer knew nothing of what happened until his attention was attracted by the little
brothers and sisters who were nearby. The screams of the children brought their mother who rushed her to the house where everything was done to save the little girl. She passed away three hours later, under the care of Dr. Dorr - who did all he could to save her life. Funeral services were conducted from Saint Matthew’s Catholic Church at 9 a.m., Father Bauer being in charge. Burial followed in Saint Matthew’s Cemetery.

Photo by Sally Denning tomorrow the last sad rites will be held. Following the private services held Friday, the body will be taken to the Lutheran Cemetery for private burial. All In Readiness For City’s Clean-up and Beautification - Under the leadership of city officials, school officials, and Chamber of Commerce Mount Vernon will next Saturday make war on all dirt, trash and rubbish throughout the city in a clean-up and paint-up campaign. The thorough cleaning and renovation is needed for the health, safety, and happiness of the people. All teachers are asked to cooperate as fully as possible in planning a successful work day for the students. Children should gather boxes, barrels, sacks, or any convenient receptacle to hold trash, tin cans, or any other rubbish. City wagons will pick up the rubbish from streets, alleys, back lots, and lawns. The teachers will use this opportunity to instill Civic pride to its fullest extent. Partition To Hard Surface Fourth Street - Mayor Osborn and the street committee of the City Council have decided to have circulated a partition for the improvement of Fourth Street, from a point where the interurban tracks leave the road east of the city through Mount Vernon to Fuhrer’s Hill west of the city. A portion of this highway is outside the city limits and would necessitate both city and township paying the cost of the improvement. The decision of city officials was reached following a meeting with Mr. Burch of the State Highway Commission, who is working on plans for the future Evansville - Mount Vernon Road as a part of the State Highway system. The improvement would provide a hard surface highway for this end of the state road. (Future Highway 62)

Special Olympics state basketball title goes to Posey County By Trisha L. Lopez Posey County claimed the five-on-five Special Olympics state basketball title at the Pacer’s training facility in Westfield on Sunday, defeating Washington Township 32-13 in the title match. Seth Harris, Dakota Parker, Anthony Muller, Derrick Bradshaw, Luke Garrett, Zach Davis, Roarke Graves, Nick Gameday Burton and Braiden Royal…members of Team Dragons…overcame a seven point deficit with 50 seconds remaining in the semi final against Vanderburgh County to advance to the gold medal round. They were coached by Kim Merrick and John Harris. “It was a dream come true. It was an amazing atmosphere to see all the other teams play and it was something very special to be a part of,” Burton said. Posey County’s three-on-three teams earned state medals in their divisions as well. Team Dinosaurs and Team Magicians finished second and earned silver medals. Team Avengers earned bronze medals. Members of Team Dinosaurs are: Ethan Sutton, Lauren Carr, Will Ayers, Drew Rapp, Destin Cox, Kylee Ricketts. They were coached by Merrick. Members of Team Magicians are: Kira Garrett, Olivia Wildt and Kasey Brown. They were coached by Ethan Wichman, Coty
Huebschman and Merrick. Members of Team Avengers are: Preston Bradshaw, Landon Deckard, Jayden Muller and Heather Zwinkleburg. They were coached by Wichman, Huebschman and Merrick. Merrick said her athletes range in age from sixth grade to adults and they are placed on teams with consideration of their skills and ages. She got involved with Special Olympics after growing up with a neighbor that had Down Syndrome. “I grew up with him,worked in the fields Team Dragons - Back row: Coach Kim Merrick, Seth Harris, Dakota Parker, Anwith his family and always accepted Steven for being Steven. In college, I helped with thony Muller, Derrick Bradshaw, Luke Garrett, Coach John Harris. Front row: Zack Special Olympic track events.

I’ve been blessed working with these athletes,” Merrick said. Burton said the event is important because it provides him, and others with disabilities, with a chance to compete. “It gives me the chance to actually play competitive basketball. I love the sport so much. I love giving back to Special OIympics just as mucha s I do anything else,” said Burton, who helps coach football, basketball and golf at Mount Vernon High School. “I do Team Dinosaurs - Ethan Sutton, Lauren Carr, Will Ayers, Drew Rapp, Destin Cox, it for my mom and my grandma. They both passed away, but that’s why I do what I do.” Kylee Ricketts and Coach Kim Merrick.

The child victim suffered bruising on her face in the shape of a handprint. Prosecutors did not offer Wolf a plea agreement in that case either. At sentencing in 2020, Prosecutors argued for a sentence of at least four years in prison. The court sentenced Wolf to 4 years, with 1 year in prison followed by 3 years of supervised release on Posey County Community Corrections. Wolf was released from prison in that case in November 2020. Approximately five months later, on March 29, 2021, deputies with the Posey County Sheriff’s Office and Posey County Community Corrections Director Justin Rutledge responded to a complaint from Wolf’s family member that Wolf had killed their pit bull puppy. In speaking with law enforcement, Wolf admitted to striking his wife’s pit bull puppy multiple times after the puppy bit him
Email news@poseycountynews.com Or call 812-682-3950 Discussion ensued on possible transitions for the church. If it is sold on the market, the altar would need to be decommissioned in a ceremony. Some current parishioners are wary of selling it because of what the owner might do with it that might not be fitting for its history. Once sold, it is out of parish hands. Others wondered if a grant to preserve historic structures was available and if the town would even allow the demolition of a historic structure, if not. Others conceded that razing it might be the best answer. It was suggested to use the site as a memorial and as a columbarium for ashes. They hoped some of the windows might be able to be used in making it. Other windows might be returned to their donors. “Selling the church is painful for me and for all of us, but we need to get past the sentimental emotions and look at the physical situation we have,” Rick Johnson urged the others at the meeting. He is a former Holy Angels parishioner who presently serves on the Saint Francis Xavier Parish Council.

They will also allow money with in the $500,000 for purchase of the property. Andy explained that property can either be purchased by the town or the owner can donate property. The property will then have to be a green space for five years. There is a possibility depending on what is going back on the green land it could be expedited as long as environmental come in

For 2022 the first round of applications is due July and, in the fall, (date still to be determined). Bruce asked about the match? Zeller said it would be 90 percent OCRA Grant and 10 percent the town”s portion. There would also be additional monies not covered by grant, environmental study, lawyer fees, and estimate. Councilman Justin Collins has reached out to Jacob Fredericks concerning his property that has the old grain elevator, to see if he was interested in selling property or potentially tearing down of elevator. Fredricks was present and indicated he has a residence that is currently attached to the grain elevator. Fredricks will work with town attorney William Bender on the the legal agreements involved in this potential project. In other news: • Poseyville Police Officer Charles Carter told the Council that he currently has no
heat and air in the police department building. The council was presented the quotes for AC unit as well as furnace. The Council agreed that to just both at the same time to save on labor costs. A Motion was made to accept the estimate of $6,098 or if possible, use a split unit. • Farrar informed the council that the 60 inch John Deere mower had 1,000 hours on it and warranty is out. Since this is the most used mower, when it gets this many hours and the warranty is out, they replace it. They can not afford to have it down during mowing, especially since they are now mowing the cemetery. Farrar presented a quote from H&R Agri Power 9,000 with trade in of $3,900, on a John Deere 8600 with trade in of 3,500, and Hopf Equipment Kabota at $8000 with a trade in $3,500. Jeremy recommended price and fuel efficiency he thought the Kabota was the way to go. A motion
was made to purchase the 30HR Kabota at $8,000 contingent on estimates • Collins brought up the fire department’s need for a new fire truck. Several factions of state ordinances for General Fund spending and Rainy Day expenditures were called into question in a heated discussion. Baker tried to explain how the General Fund works. Baker explained that the Fire Department would have to come to the Council for approval to spend that money because it is General Fund money. Collins said he disagreed and the money was the Fire Department’s money. Baker indicated it is General Fund monies and it needs to go back to the general fund to operate the town. When questioned again by Collins, Baker responded, “I am right. I have 35 years of experience with audits and budgets. If you want a lesson, I will be glad to meet you two

Collins made a motion to move $20,000 to the RainyDay fund but it died for lack of a second. • Moving into mowing season, Farrar reminded everyone not to blow clippings into the street as the grass will stop up the storm sewers.

BPA needs help going forward Special to the News “One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth” - Abraham Maslow. Growth is an essential aspect of the high school experience. Students need to grow in their responsibilities, decision-making, socially, or even in their athletic endeavors. Simultaneously, it is essential for students to develop and grow in their life skills, especially when it comes to skills they will use in their future careers. Fortunately for students, the organization Business Professionals of America (BPA) provides the perfect opportunity for personal and career-focused development. What is BPA, one might wonder? Well, Business Professionals of America is an organization for high school and college students that gives purpose to potential. It allows the students to develop life skills that will help them excel in their future careers in the business industry. These skills will be developed through various contests at the local, state, and national levels as well as through leadership opportunities and community service activities. This year, North Posey’s BPA club has 12 members who ‘chose to go forward to growth.’ This includes Ellie Carlson, Ella Galvin, Audrey Hirsch, Braden Willis, Ethan Brown, Ruthie Meyer, Karly Damm, Reagan Koester, Dharma Fribley, Ava Lowe, Tori Abernathy, and Lia Fifer. All of these individuals had the opportunity to compete at the regional competition this winter. Ten out of the twelve members advanced to the
state competition in March. These students got to compete in their events, take open contests, attend leadership sessions, go to a college fair, and even meet other members across the state. Fortunately, a few of our BPA members’ hard work paid off at state, as they have advanced to the national level of competition. Braden Willis placed seventh in Java Programming. Dharma Fribley received third place in Human Resources Management and earned her Statesmen Torch Award. Finally, Reagan Koester placed first in Interview Skills, obtained third in Parliamentary Procedure Concepts, earned the Statesmen Torch Award, and received the Member of the Year award. All of these great successes allow these three individuals to move on to the top level of competition, nationals. The Posey County Sheriff’s Office was well-represented at the North Posey football This year, nationals are held in Dallas, dinner and auction on Saturday evening in Saint Wendel. Pictured are Michelle ForTexas from May 4 through 8. The three tune, Jeremy Fortune, Isaac Fuelling and Erin Fuelling.

Chase is a fifth-grade student at Marrs. All year Chase has been a huge help in the classroom. Every day he helps me make sure all students are out of the classroom after dismissal and carries our bus ticket out, making sure I never forget. He enjoys running small errands and is always looking for ways to help. In the classroom, he has many friends and treats everyone with respect. He displays all of the outstanding qualities that a fifth-grade student should have. He sets a great example for others. Chase has a fun and enthusiastic personality and I know this will take him far.
Eli is a first grade student at Saint Wendel Catholic School. He plays baseball, football, and wrestles. The Colts and Saint Louis Cardinals are some of his favorite sports teams. Eli is so creative and his illustrations really stand out. Eli even creates his own books at home. Eli is an amazing leader and is always doing his very best. He goes above and beyond and is respectful to all students and staff. He always works hard and he is an absolute joy to have in class. His classmate Brynn Eisterhold said this about Eli, “Eli always listens, smiles, and is a good friend.” Eli is a superstar.

Don’t act like those people
In a civil, polite society we shouldn’t run around slapping comedians, politicians, radio or television personalities, or musical performers. The list goes on and includes everyone. Will Smith’s stunt of slapping comedian Chri Rock at the 2022 Oscars was a bad idea. It was only by the grace of God and mainly the grace of Chris Rock that Smith was not arrested or sued. Before this is all over, Rock could still take him to court. At this point in time, it doesn’t seem likely. On the other hand, it was a bad idea for Chris Rock to use Will Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, in a joke that highlighted alopecia, the disease that has been tormenting her.
B D . G M
G G
Diseases and disabilities are issues with which people struggle. The joke angered Will Smith. His feelings got totally out of control as he bounded on stage to slap Chris Rock. While many people understand how Smith must have felt and may have thought Rock deserved it, we still have to restrain ourselves. I suspect there are people who probably have wanted to slap a politician or two. You can’t do that because you would go to jail. Furthermore, that is the wrong way to conduct our behavior. What about Vladimir Putin? You couldn’t get by with that in Russia. Regardless of how evil and heinous an individual is, if you slapped him while walking down Broadway in New York City, a policeman would most likely arrest you. This is a far-fetched scenario even though most of the free world is ready for Putin to be totally removed.
If you have been working on your list of people to slap you might as well put it away. It won’t work. You will eventually end up in jail, in court, or both. We do have free speech in America. People can hurl words freer than hurling punches. Words can and do hurt. There are repercussions if you slander, malign or use your speech against others in a way that “hurts” them. However, television, radio, and political events frequently allow the rhetoric to go way out of bounds. An idea for us all is to control our tongues and our actions. Most of us have spoken before we thought. We may have reacted in a way without seriously considering the action. Too often a fast mouth or quick action may have brought regret. There are lessons to be learned from this year’s Academy Awards. Mainly, don’t act like those people.
One Ringy-Dingy
Lily Tomlin’s character, telephone operator Ernestine on the TV show B J J Laugh-In, set the standard for bad telephone service. R Laugh-In was on NBC from 1969-1973. In 2022 life has overcome art. At least Ernestine was human. Today, robots and recorded messages insulate businesses from the needs of customers. Good luck on getting through a telephone “menu” to speak with someone who will admit a company’s responsibility for poor service. Things were bad enough before COVID-19 and our current noone-ever-goes-in-to-work society. But after more than two years of encouraging everyone to avoid contact with anyone many people apparently see any request for service as a borderline criminal assault. It has been a while since I looked at a college course catalogue, but I suspect some schools must be offering a major, on-line of course, in how to prevent anyone from accessing a service. Perhaps one can pursue a Ph.D. in telephone menu construction. A favorite ploy is to
A M I M S
APRIL 5, 2022
have a recorded answering service that starts off with, “Please listen carefully because our options have recently changed.” We all know that’s not only demeaning but is also almost certainly untrue. The only changes any company ever makes to its phone options is to obfuscate them further until we despair of ever getting to speak to a human being. The days of simply punching “0” to hear a nonmechanical voice are long gone. Now the R2-D2 robot used to add layers of dross instead of answers to our questions, directs us to some website once we exhaust the non-access menu options. Of course, should we fall into the Inferno of a company’s website we had better not be susceptible to thoughts of self-harm and should avoid having any sharp objects within reach. It is a telling fact that Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922) who patented the first practical telephone would not have a phone in his study because it interrupted his work. Bell set the standard toward which all contemporary companies strive; the elimination of any telephone conversations at all. I suppose I should not mention this possibility. Is it not strange that in a world where even grade schoolers have
iPhones and teenagers text the person right beside them that we cannot get anyone to answer the darn phone! Of course, some of the worst, that is, most obnoxious offenders of the “never answer a customer’s query” policy are the government agencies we pay with our tax money to ignore us. Do such “services” as the IRS and VA come to mind? On a related topic, can we talk about telephone etiquette in general? I suggest if a politician or a political party wishes to up their poll numbers, they pay attention to basic phone courtesy and re-teach the phone manners our parents demanded. You remember, Gentle Reader. Do not call someone and start with, “Is this James?” Begin by identifying who you are and why you are calling. Call only at a decent hour and never during a football game. If you get an answering machine, leave a clear message and a return number by speaking slowly and distinctly. In other words, treat phone contacts as you would inperson contacts and that includes companies and agencies we need to access for services. And by the way, “Thank you and goodbye”.

B B C How does a man become counter culture and go against the machine? This question has been asked through the ages. Make Jesus Christ your Lord and Sav-
ior, get a job, tell the truth, have integrity, admit when you screw up, get married to a Christian woman with integrity. Have children, raise them in the Way. Teach your children to respect people and not be selfish. Teach them to love Christ and not to love money. It’s okay to earn money, but don’t worship it. People will wonder what’s different
about you. The hard moments become not so hard when you have a good supporting cast of a family. When you know Jesus is with you during good times and tough seasons, you know it’s gonna be OK. Love your wife like Christ loves the church. Share your thoughts. Have discussions, but lead your family in a strong way. Don’t give up! Don’t be deceived: alcohol, fornication, pornography, drugs, being politically correct, going against God, idol worship, getting caught up in false realities, and narratives are things that drag

Matt Hostettler, State Representative Supporting life is a top priority In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision legalized abortion in the United States at the federal level instead of leaving the question of abortion up to the states. Now, the nation’s highest court is set to rule on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization where the state of Mississippi is challenging Roe. If the nation’s highest court either partially or wholly overturns Roe V. Wade, states would be empowered to enact laws that better protect the sanctity of life. I
recently joined fellow Republican lawmakers in urging the governor to call a special session if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade since the regular legislative session concluded mid-March. Building on Indiana’s strong track record as one of the most pro-life states in the nation is a top priority, and if the court returns the question of abortion rightfully back to the people, we need to take action immediately.
Guest Opinion: By Center for Rural Affairs President’s budget sets funding outlook for rural communities The Center for Rural Affairs is encouraged to see support for agricultural producers, including a significant increase in proposed funding for Conservation Technical Assistance (CTA), in the Biden administration’s proposed budget for 2023 announced earlier this week. “Conservation technical assistance is vital to the success of producers’ conservation efforts,” said Kalee Olson, policy associate. “As farmers and ranchers are called to assist in addressing climate change through improved soil health, resources are necessary to support them along the way.” The proposed budget recommends $885 million for CTA in 2023—a nearly $125 million increase from last year. While the administration’s proposed spending levels for conservation in agriculture came in strong, support for rural small businesses fell short of expectations. The Rural Microentrepreneur Assistance Program (RMAP), which provides loans and technical assistance to rural
small businesses through intermediary organizations, was recommended at a level of $6 million, which is $500,000 short of funding for 2022. “As our small communities continue to recover from the pandemic, it’s important that support is available to those microentrepreneurs who want to help rebuild local economies,” Olson said. “We need to make sure these resources aren’t only secured for the future, but continue to grow.” As part of the annual appropriations process, both the House and Senate will draft budgets to allocate discretionary funding to a range of federal programs, including CTA and RMAP, as well as other Center priorities including the Farming Opportunities, Training, and Outreach program and Local Agricultural Market Program. “Through this process we hope to encourage lawmakers to make budgeting decisions that are good for rural America,” Olson said.
you down and take your focus away from God. They take up your time, but they lead no where. This life is temporary. Quit thinking you have to show out for men. That’s not the way. Not everyone that asks how you are doing actually wants to see you succeed. Life is so quick. You better figure out which people are here to hurt you, and which to help you. I’ve made it through many difficult situations with my mom and dad, wife, and children, but also knowing God is at my side. Yau\\ou’ll can have this world, Give me Jesus
Change...
W e recently took B D a busiH n e s s t r i p north of Seattle on the coast. As the sun was going down I took some beautiful pictures and I noticed the rocks were smooth and round at the edge of the water, then turned to sand closer to shore. The constant beating of the waves turned the jagged rocks smooth and over time into sand. I’m getting older but I still think I’m a young man. We never seem to change in our own minds…but then I look in the mirror and wonder who that old man is looking back at me. We all experience change in our lives, and It’s ok to think like you’re young and that you will never change but…maturity is knowing that you have and you will continue to change. Psalms 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. There are changes that we dream of and look forward to, and changes that we fear. Change is the one constant in our lives that never deviates. But in some small way, we slowly learn that each day is precious, that our time is short, and we only get one trip around…life changes us and the one thing that is for sure and for certain is…that things will not stay the same no matter how much we would like them to. When a life change occurs, we have two choices in how we can respond. We can regress in despair from the change that has come upon us and live assuming things will only get worse, or we can move forward and look for new opportunities, for personal growth. Those are the only things that can change our course and direction. Because any “change” can only move a person in two ways…positive or negative. Some changes are inevitable and some are out of our control, but the effects of change… are entirely in our hands, and how we choose to deal with those changes in our life are completely voluntary. Sack needles and sardines. We use to grow pinto beans back in the day, thrashing them with a combine pulled
with a tractor. The combine had its own power unit that ran the combine. That’s why most old farmers are deaf, including me… the use of shotguns and rifles, straight pipes and tractor cabs that doubled as echo chambers, contributing as well I suppose. Anyways… We would cut and windrow the beans, let em dry, then hook up the combine and thrash em. It was usually hot and miserable work, but everything was back then, but we thought we had it made compared to the prior days when a stationary combine was used (I never had the pleasure of experiencing that). That bean combine just had a small holding tank and there was a platform on the back corner where a guy would stand and the clean beans were put into 100lb burlap sacks then the sacks were sewn up using a sack needle with hemp sting. Ears were left on each corner of the sack as handles to haul the sacks to a truck to be stacked, then hauled to Farmers bean house next to the railroad tracks, where they were cleaned and either sold or later picked up and hauled home. That combine had a small engine and we hung a water bag in front of the radiator. Air sucked through the radiator kept the water bag cool, much like an evaporative cooler. When we needed a break we’d pass the bag around and we’d all take a pull to satisfy our thirst. My mentor Lee Roy use to bring sardines and crackers for lunch (not my favorite lunch fare). He use to tell the same story every year during bean season. It went like this… “One time we were thrashing beans in July and it was a hot one. We had just finished our lunch of sardines and crackers when my dad came out to pass the time and help us thrash beans. Dad got thirsty and grabbed the water bag and took a pull and said shoowee! Where did y’all get that water outta the tank? Lee Roy said no, why’s that? Papaw said cause it tasted like fish!” We’d all laugh even though we’d heard that story a hundred times. I’ve had my share of tasting fishy water bags hanging around Lee Roy Hays. Now we are all spoiled hauling fancy yeti jugs around in our air conditioned sound guard cabs. The loss of comradery from working side by side with friends and neighbors, and sharing a water bag is the price we pay for progress and efficiency… I sure miss those days.

Applications being accepted for Baier Award Applications are now being accepted for the Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award for 2022. The Award, in the amount of $500, is given annually to a high school junior who resides in Posey County and who is involved in community activities in Posey County. The Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award was created in September 2007 in honor of Elizabeth D. Baier’s 25th Anniversary as Executive Director of the United Way of Posey County. Michelle Hudson, member of the committee charged with selecting the Award recipient, said, “The United Way wanted to recognize Elizabeth for her service to the United Way, but we also wanted to honor her for her many years of leadership, community involvement, and volunteer services to Posey County. An award recognizing exemplary volunteerism by young people had been a dream of Elizabeth’s for many years, so the creation of the Youth Spirit
Enjoy the beauty of life as you age!
Award in her name seemed to be the perfect way to honor her.” Funding for the Award was obtained entirely through private donations. An applicant for the Award must be a Posey County resident but may attend high school in Posey, Gibson, or Vanderburgh Counties or may be home schooled.

Students use Opportunity Center to give back to Posey By Lois Mittino Gray The sounds of the swish of a paintbrush, the grating rasp of a hand saw cutting through a tree trunk, and the clinking of shovels upturning soil in flower beds filled the air for four days at Harmonie State Park the last week in March. Twenty teenagers attacked the spring maintenance chores with gusto. They were part of a pilot community service project developed by Kelli Walker, one of three teachers at Mount Vernon’s John H. Emhuff Opportunity Center alternative school. “This was my big idea of the year to get these kids out of the classroom, most who have never even been to the state park. They love the idea of working outdoors. The park people have been so easy to work with and kind to us. Some students are talking with the state park manager about coming back to work here in the summer,” Walker said. The students who worked the four days from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. will get one full credit of the 46 required by the state to earn a General Education high school diploma. Two students working the project, Gabbie Jolley and Aryon Baker, will reap the reward for their stint at the park immediately. The next day, that one final credit will earn them the diploma and both will be able to walk out the door of the school with goals accomplished. Gabbie, 17, plans to come back to walk across the stage at the formal graduation cer-
emony in May to receive her diploma. Watching will be Gabbie’s daughter, Alayia Jones, who will be a one year old then, accompanied by her father, Kameron Jones. Alayia and Kameron attended all four work sessions with Gabbie at Harmonie and loved watching the students work on projects. Alayia played on the playground equipment, took rides in her stroller listening to birds and looking at flowers, and interacted with the high school girls lavishing attention on her. “She is just the best baby!” cooed student Hanah Little, while she busily painted signs. “We had the kids divided into three groups and they were assigned different jobs in different locations. It has been going very well and they are doing a good job.” Harmonie State Park Manager Zachary Clark observed. On the day of my visit, one crew was at the Service Building painting the yellow letters on the engraved wood directional signs used throughout the park. They painted two outhouses on the days before. Another team was working with Office Manager Janet Werry planting new flower beds around the campground gatehouse. A third work detail was cutting out invasive Autumn Olive trees growing along the road to Locust Knoll. On other
days, they cut diseased elm trees by the river. “This has been so successful that we hope to continue it each year,” explained Walker. “This has been so good for the students.” Walker is in her first year as a teacher at the school and was a guidance counselor for ten years prior. The other two teachers
do it to graduate. They know the rules and expectations and take ownership. They want to be here,” the teacher stressed. As an example, Kelli Walker pointed to the group of girls painting the signs on sawhorses and chatting amicably. “Look at those girls. I bet before they came to the Opportunity Center their atThese five Opportunity Center students chatted while painting the yellow letters on wooden park directional signs as part of their work project.

are Brenda Canada and Maria Fuelling and the total school roster has 47 students. “Students come to the Opportunity Center who don’t do well in a traditional school setting. It may be for many different reasons, from anxiety, health and pregnancy, or just life’s circumstances. I didn’t realize how successful it is until I started here and became involved. It is like an elementary school setting and there is no transition or changing classes. The students have the same three teachers every day and know what is expected of them and

MV POST PROM By Trisha L. Lopez The Mount Vernon Parent Advisory Council is looking for community support as it plans the 35th annual After Prom at Posey County Lanes on April 23. The Covid-19 pandemic tabled the event, which parents plan as a safe entertainment option for Mount Vernon prom-goers after the dance ends, in 2020 and 2021. “We are prepared to make it better than ever,” said Jamie Yarber, committee member. The 2022 theme is Wild Wild West Wildcats. The committee is seeking food, service, monetary and prize donations that will be handed out to students during the event, which will start at 11 p.m. “Through donations, we hope to attract a large attendance as many of those eligible to attend aren’t familiar with such an event,” Yarber said in a letter to potential donors. After Prom attendees will be able to participate in a variety of activities including bowling, dancing, billiards, a photo booth, a food truck with hot dogs and lemon shake ups and a mechanical bull. The committee raised about $5,000 in prize and service donations in 2019 that benefited the nearly 150 students that attended. For more information on how to get involved, please email the committee at MVAfterProm22@gmail.com.

TAKE A LOOK, WE’RE JUST MINUTES AWAY!
Lady Vikings open with rare comeback win, take 2 of 3 By Dave Pearce The North Posey girls’ softball team got things off on an exciting note, to say the least, for the 2022 season. The Lady Vikings spotted the visiting Reitz Panthers a 6-0 lead and things looked dismal for the home team. However, the young Vikings found a will and a way to win and bounced back to explode on the Panthers for nine runs in the final three innings to win their opener on Monday in Poseyville. “We started off slow and there could have been some first game jitters in there,” Coach Gary Gentil said. “Their pitcher kept us off balance there at the beginning. But the girls settled down and we made some adjustments and the girls found a way to get it done.” Erin Hoehn, one of the area’s best players, started on the mound for the Vikings but the Panthers got some timely hits. The Panthers are no slouches themselves with three senior starters planning to attend college on softball scholarships. “It was obvious they had been working on hitting a much faster pitcher like Erin,” Gentil said of the Panthers. But Hoehn offers a full array of talent, not only pitching but also in hitting and defense. And with the help of other members of the team, the girls were able to overcome some hits and an error or two to win their opener. The Panthers didn’t give Hoehn a chance to
swing the bat when the game was tight early and intentionally walked her. Ahead 6-0 and with no one on base, the Panthers decided to pitch to her in the bottom of the fourth inning. Hoehn made them pay by hitting a home run over the left field fence to give the Vikings and run and a new sense of confidence. A change on the mound seemed to do the Lady Vikings well as Addie Fullop came in to relieve Hoehn. With solid defense behind her, the Vikings gave up no more runs but on offense, it was a different story. “Addie came in and did a great job on the mound and then came through with some timely hits, as did some of the other girls,” Gentil said of Fullop. “She did a very good job on the mound for us last year also and has kept that stride going.” The Vikings put four runs across in the bottom of the fifth and four more across in the bottom of the sixth to seal the deal. On Tuesday evening, the Lady Vikings traveled to (now 8-0) Henderson County High School. According to some sources, the Lady Colonels have five seniors who could end up playing Division 1 softball at the collegiate level next season. They have outscored their eight opponents 82-8 so far this season. The Vikings were never really able to get

Wildcat high school players help prepare for youth games By Trisha L. Lopez Several Mount Vernon Wildcat baseball players joined volunteers from the Mount Vernon Youth Baseball to help prepare fields for the 2022 season. Mount Vernon players helped install wind screens, hang batting cage nets and did miscellaneous tasks around the park. Wildcat baseball coach Paul Quinzer said he has been taking teams to work with the youth programs for 12 years. Quinzer said it is important for his student athletes to get involved with the next generation of Wildcats, a tradition that has been in
place since many on his current roster were involved in the youth program themselves. “I believe we should be putting back into the community,” Quinzer said. “I want the boys to get a taste of what it is like to give, help and serve. (It may seem like a small thing), but it helps them grow.” Team members involved were: Grant Hathaway, Winston Howell, Nathan Howard, Mason Dye, Zarek Seidensticker, Kyle HoldMount Vernon High School baseball players pictured left to right: Grant Hathaway, er, Ryan Kelley, Hayden Huss, Tyler Brown, Keaton Kern, Jack Campbell, Spencer Phil- Winston Howell, Nathan Howard, Mason Dye, Zarek Seidensticker, Kyle Holder, Ryan lips, David Jones, Conner Stevens, Adam Kelley, Hayden Huss, Tyler Brown, Keaton Kern, Jack Campbell, Spencer Phillips, David Jones, Conner Stevens, Adam Burke and Payne Healy.

Vikes thrash South Knox in opener 17-2 By Chris Morlan The North Posey baseball team opened their 2022 campaign on the road last Tuesday afternoon at South Knox against the Spartans. This matchup was led by Jake Will driving in four runs on three hits. Clay Douglas went four for five at the plate with two doubles, two RBIs and two runs scored. North Posey defeated South Knox 17-2. Last Friday afternoon, the Vikings traveled to the Eastside of Evansville to take on the Evansville Harrison Warriors. North Posey was leading early in the game, then found themselves down after a few innings. Then the Vikings struggled to get runs on the scoreboard, despite getting more hits than the Warriors in a 6-3 loss. For the season, North Posey has one win and one loss.

Lady Wildcats resilient but just short By Trisha L. Lopez Mount Vernon softball came up just short, falling 9-8 to host Corydon Central in the championship game of Saturday’s First Savings Bank Invitational. The Lady Wildcats trailed the Lady Panthers 5-0 after two innings, but took the lead after back to back three-run innings. The Lady Panthers battled back in the sixth and seventh, scoring four unanswered runs to claim the tournament title. Sophomore Hannah West led the Cats, going three for four from the plate. Junior Bailey Cox went two for three and junior Mallory Mason had two RBIs. Mount Vernon earned a spot in the finale after defeating Edgewood 7-3 in the opening round and Perry Central 11-1 in the semi-final. Junior Kaylen Salee had nine strikeouts against the Lady Mustangs Saturday morning and went two for three from the plate. Senior Baylee Rhodes, sophomore Cora Bell and West each had a pair of hits as well. The Cats bats came alive against Perry Central in their second game of the day. Mason had a two-run home run. Rhodes, Cox and Bell had two hits each. Salee got the win on the mound with seven strikeouts and she surrendered just one hit. Sophomore Peyton Rush earned her first save of the season.
The strong tournament showing capped a solid opening week for Mount Vernon. Salee struck out 15 in Mount Vernon’s 10-3 PAC win against South Spencer on Thursday. She held the Lady Rebels to just three hits in seven innings of work on the mound. Rush, Rhodes and Cox had two RBIs each.

Lady Vikings, Cats open track season in triangular meet By Chris Morlan The North Posey and Mount Vernon girls’ track teams had their first competition of the year last Thursday evening. This was a triangular meet hosted by North Posey with Mount Vernon and Forest Park taking a road trip to Viking country. In this meet, Forest Park dominated in every possible way you could by winning with 100 points. North Posey finished second with 29 points and Mount Vernon in third place with 19 points. North Posey received outstanding performances from Lyndsey Gentil with a second-place finish in the high jump. The 4 x 800-meter relay team with Audrey Hirsch,
Jasmin Freeman, Olivia Esche and Reagan Koester won their race. Lauren Zirkelbach placed second in the 110-meter hurdles and the 300-meter hurdles. The Lady Vikings won the 4 x 400-meter relay with the team of Abby Hessler, Lora Commens, Aubrey Brandenstein and Reagan Koester. Mount Vernon had outstanding performances from Lera Wilson winning the high jump. Wilson was also a member of the winning 4 x 100-meter relay team with Jasmine Denning, Maddie Maier and Ari Shepherd. Placing second was the Mount Vernon 4 x 400-meter relay team of Ava Valier, Maddie Maier, Malley Wagner and Valerie Thomp-

Wildcat, Viking boys’ track compete in triangular opener By Chris Morlan On a cold Thursday evening last week at North Posey, the Vikings and Mount Vernon Wildcats competed in a triangular meet along with a very good Forest Park team. Mount Vernon and Forest Park are coming into this track season with a lot of returnees, while North Posey is young and have things they need to figure out. Forest Park dominated the meet and won with 81 points. Mount Vernon came in second place with 56 points and North Posey finished third with 18 points. Mount Vernon received great performances from their second-place finish in the 4 x 800-meter relay with the team of Hayden Deckard, Colton Green, Ethan Sut-
fin, and Carson Tucker. Jacob Swartz won the 300-meter hurdles and finished second in the 110-meter hurdles. Luke Hoehn won the 100-meter dash.

Carson Tucker placed second in the 800-meter run. Caleb Tyus won the long jump and placed second in the 200-meter dash. The 4 x 400-meter relay team won with the team of Tyus, River Snodgrass, Jackson Clowers and Kortez Stewart. Brady Ford won the discus throw. For North Posey, the Viking 4 x 800-meter relay won that race with the team of Nathan

Zirkelbach will continue soccer career at Oakland City By Chris Morlan North Posey senior Lauren Zirkelbach will leave Viking nation in the spring and continue her soccer career at Oakland City University. Last Tuesday afternoon, Zirkelbach signed a
letter of intent to play soccer for Oakland City Coach Katie Harrison and the Mighty Oaks. Last fall, Zirkelbach broke many soccer school records and will go down as one of the best soccer players to ever play at North Posey.
‘Lady Vikings’ continued from Page B1 untracked against the Lady Colonels and fell 5-2. Hoehn took the loss and gave up three earned runs. “Henderson is the caliber of Gibson Southern, Tecumseh and Mater Dei,” Gentil said. “They are a fantastic team.” Then on Saturday, the Lady Vikings opened their Pocket Athletic Conference season at home with an overwhelming 12-2 win over the Forest Park Rangers in five innings. With Addie Fullop starting on the mound, Gentil was able to try some things on the infield that could pay dividends down the road as the Vikings. The Lady Vikings were led by Sybil Renshaw and Fullop with three hits apiece. Renshaw finished the day with four runs batted in. The lanky sophomore catcher is anxious to get the opportunity to play after an injury kept her out of the line-up for most of last season.
“Sybil is very athletic,” Gentil said. “Her hits were all very solid hits on Saturday. Erin did a great job at short and made a couple of very good plays. Addie had a hit that bounced off the fence and overall, we just played well. Viking Softball won their first Pocket Athletic Conference game of the season against Forest Park. The game was Addie Fullop’s first start at pitcher this year. She threw a 4-hitter and allowed only one earned run improving her pitching record to 2-0 losses. The Vikings ended the game with 15 hits and played a real good defensive game. The win improved the Vikings record to 2-1 and 1-0 in the conference. The Vikings will get a test by fire in their next game at Gibson Southern April on Thursday evening. On Friday evening, the girls travel to Tell City.
Zirkelbach’s parents, North Posey coach Derek Sweeney, assistant coach Mark Stephens, former teammates and friends attended the signing. North Posey principal Sean Fisher made an introduction and stated how much of an impact Lauren had on the soccer program. She also excelled in the classroom too. Coach Harrison said, “how excited her program is to have Lauren as a Mighty Oak.” “Lauren was instrumental in helping the 2021 team own the all-time win record 11-7-0 and home record 5-2-0 in the same year,” Sweeney said. “She helped her team to two sectional finals her junior and senior years. First time in program history with back-to-back final appearances.” In her career, Lauren is the single season record of shots on goal at 68. She also holds the following career records for most minutes (4,741), most assists (20), shots (181), shots on goal (173) and goals scored (49).

The Easter Story as told in the King James Bible The Last Supper - And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he said unto them: and they made ready for the passover. And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. ~ MARK 14:16-17 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. Verily I say unto you. I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God. ~ MARK 14:22-25
The Betrayal - And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him. ~ MATTHEW 26:47-49 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor... And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. ~ MATTHEW 27:2, 23-26
Jesus Led Away, Mocked - Then the soldiers of
the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying Hail King of the Jews! And they spit on him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him and led him away to crucify him. ~ MATTHEW 27:27-31 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. And there followed him a great company of people and women, which also bewailed and lamented him. ~ LUKE 23:26-27
The Crucifixion - And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Then said Jesus, Father forgive them; for they know not what they do. ~ LUKE 23:33-34 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, he said, Father into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. ~ LUKE 23:44-47
Jesus Is Risen - And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. ~ MARK 16:2-7
Received Up Into Heaven - So then, after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. ~ MARK 16:19-20 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen. ~ LUKE 24:51-53
Why Christians Celebrate - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. ~ JOHN 3:1617

Add a few drops of the yellow, grind until sugar is bright yellow, but not so much it turns into a powder 3. spread sugar across a cookie sheet on parchment paper and place in an oven on low, keep stirring the sugar, you just want to dry it out a bit (the gel dye can make it too wet) Marshmallow 1. Soak the gelatin in the 1/3 of a cup of cold water in a small bowl and set aside to swell for 10 minutes. 2. In a large saucepan dissolve the sugar in the 1 1/2 C of water over low heat, stirring constantly.
3. Add the swollen gelatin and dissolve. 4. Raise the temperature and bring to a boil. 5. Boil steadily, but not vigorously, for 15 minutes without stirring. 6. Remove from the heat and add to the mixer 7. Beat the mixture until it turns white and add the vanilla. 8. Then keep beating until it’s very thick and white. I listen for the sound to change as the mixer starts working harder. It should hold the ribbons left from the beaters for the count of 6 before smoothing out completely. Don’t over beat or the marshmallows will get too tough. 9. Once the mixture is at the right texture and you stop beating it will start to set. You want it to partiall set so it’s thicker and holds it’s shapped when piped but not set so much that you can’t pipe anymore 10. spread out 1/2 the yellow sugar on a pan
11. using a large round tip and piping bag pipe a long oval about 1 inch wide and 2 inches long - pull away quickly to make the tail. I do a test one to see if it’s thick enough before I pipe the rest. 12. repeat doing 4-5 right next to each other slightly touching - make a few more sets 13. holding the piping bag straight up and down pipe a large circle onto the rounded end of the oval 14. when it’s about as wide a the oval start raising your piping tip as you go but lowering the pressure creating a pyramid of marshmallow - then at the end tilt the bag by 90 degrees and stop squeezing, pull away from the mound creating the head and beak, pinch off. Do a test peep to make sure it’s thick enough to hold the shape 15. cover the marshmallows in more yellow sugar before they set 16. use the black dye and a toothpick to dot the eyes on
