First solar application is in By Trisha L. Lopez Plans are progressing with the Posey Solar Project as officials mull assessment values for land leased to house commercial solar installations and whether steps should be taken to ensure that Posey County doesn’t become “an entire solar county.” A representative from Tenaska confirmed that an application for a land use permit to build the Posey Solar Project, the 300 MW, 2,400 acre solar installation located largely in Marrs Township, was submitted to the Area Plan Commis-

sion on April 23. Although Mindy Bourne, APC executive director, said the application is not yet complete, Tenaska representative Timberly Ross said that “we are working with the APC director on various aspects of the application. The APC director will determine when the application is complete and then the matter will be set for a public hearing.” The Posey Solar Project wasn’t listed on

Zoning process continues to draw interest in Mount Vernon By Lois Mittino Gray The Mount Vernon Common Council met for the first time at the EMS

took advantage of the new public meeting venue and attended in person to speak on a zoning change. They feared the proposed change would bring an apartment building to their area, even though councilors stressed that was just hearsay and not a documented fact at this time. City Attorney Beth Higgins introduced the second reading of the ordinance to rezone Roosevelt Drive at Main Street from RS (residential singlefamily) to O (residential office). She said the ordinance passed first reading at the last meeting. Councilman Andy Hoehn moved the ordinance pass on second reading. After the seconding, Mayor Bill Curtis announced they will now have discussion. He asked those wanting to speak to state their name for the record, keep their comments brief, and try not to repeat what others have already said. Margaret Burgess, 1818 Main Street, spoke first and said she lives right across the highway from the property in question and would like to know the difference between an RS zoning and an O zoning. Area Plan Director Mindy Bourne replied RS is for residential single-family dwelling; RT is residen-

tial townhouse; RM is residential multifamily; and RO is residential office. She was asked if an apartment could be built there now. Bourne replied that yes, one could be built there, as long as it met the height requirement. Higgins stated it is zoned RS now, which would allow

for a two and a half story, 35 foot maximum building or house. RO would be the same height requirement. Councilwoman Jillian Brothers stated, “So the height would be the same regardless of

Levings requests statement to be part of meeting record Mount Vernon Common Councilman Rusty Levings made the following prepared comments at the May 5, meeting of the council and submitted them for public record during the discussion on the solar ordinance. “I want to personally thank the county government and all the hard work they have put in. I know this solar topic hasn’t been an easy one. I know you’ve worked very hard at doing your best to put together the best ordinance you could possibly do. I know at least one county government rep took a significant trip just to better understand solar. So, I thank you all for working hard and doing the best you can with such a highly debated sensitive topic. Property owners, please do your homework before signing a contract. Watch out for this carrot they are dangling in front of you which is money. I get it, it’s easy to get distracted by this carrot in front of you because it’s so enticing. This tactic is similar to “pro life” Republican politicians who dangle the carrot of fighting abortion in front of the faces of pro life voters. And yet when they are in office they want to regulate abortion, not abolish it. So after winning the election, they simply put the carrot back in their desk and wait until next election

Where will all the people live... Part 3 of a series By Trisha L. Lopez Posey County’s housing shortage, deemed a “crisis” by some local officials, directly impacts more than just the county’s ability to grow. It has the potential to impact its ability to survive. Jenna Richardt, executive director of the Posey County Economic Development Partnership, lives and breathes Posey County’s future. She courts new businesses, guides existing companies and educates residents and local leaders alike about Posey County’s opportunities...and challenges.

As far as challenges go, a lack of housing is a formidable foe, an opponent to the potential growth that Richardt and other officials see as just a short distance away from becoming a reality. It’s a delicate...and often divisive...issue. How do you create housing in an area where none is available? Something has to give. “The partnership is not a political nonprofit that wants to get in the midst of its community and residents. We’re here to support the community. We’re here to try and make it better. The county has been in the same state for so long, that I think

people born and raised here that are in their late 30s, 40s or 50s, this is how they have known Posey County. They don’t want it to become, in their minds, Evansville or some Newburgh area. This is the way they want it to stay. It’s hard to get some to understand that, essentially, it’s not about changing to make it Evansville or Newburgh or wherever,” Richardt said. “It’s almost a survival set that we are getting to. Posey County is a dying county. That can’t be changed with just recruiting business. If we recruit a business and don’t have housing to accommodate that business, then those peo-

ple might be working here, but they’re not living here. There might be a little bit more active space because of that business paying (taxes), but we’re not getting the taxes of the residents. They’re not shopping at our grocery stores. They’re not eating at our restaurants. It’s just things like that that our community has to understand.” Maegen Greenwell, Posey County Auditor, said continuing to seek development and growth as a county isn’t necessarily driven by a desire to

West Elementary teacher enjoying the journey

De’Shea Kueber

(USPS 439-500)

By Lois Mittino Gray De’Shea Kueber has been teaching first grade at West Elementary School in Mount Vernon for the past eight years. She knows what an important time it is in a young person’s life. It was in first grade that she fell in love with the thought of being a teacher and it became her fulfilled dream. Born in Evansville, her family moved to Mount Vernon when she was fours years old due to the quality of the school system. “My family searched schools and decided they wanted to move us into this district,” she explained. “I have been familiar with Mount Vernon schools for a long time.” A Mount Vernon High School Wildcat Class of 2005 graduate, she went straight to the University of Southern Indiana, where she earned her degree in the winter of 2010 in K-6 Elementary Education. Where did she do her student teaching in the fall of 2010 to complete her degree? Sure enough, at West Elementary in the first grade. “I was actually nervous at first to do first grade.

I thought I might like third grade better, but I fell in love with first grade and have been here since.” She has also been involved for the past five years with the Response to Intervention team, is the School Building Curriculum Technology Leader (CTL), and lead teacher for Project Lead the Way, where she can not only do lessons, but train other teachers as well. However, that is all changing with the upcoming school year. De’Shea’s skill sets are coming into play as she assumes the position of STEM (Science, Engineering, Technology and Math) Instructor for the entire school. While the details of the new position are currently being developed, she knows that in that role, she will visit each class at least once a week and work with high ability students. She enjoys fusing technology into her lessons and will work with the purchased STEM curriculum to develop modules in a variety of topics. De’Shea is married to Cody, a Mount Vernon native who attended West Elementary School. He

is employed at BWXT and together they have a daughter, Myka, in Kindergarten at West Elementary School, too. The family has two rescue dogs, Wrenn and Maverick. In her off time, De’Shea can be found working on crafts with Myka. “We like to make graphic tee shirts and vinyl decals and do all kinds of painting,” she remarked. She enjoys reading and working on school lessons, too. Cody likes to participate in Demolition Derbies, so they often go up to Tri-State Speedway and other venues for races. After a vacation this summer in Panama City Beach, Florida, the new STEM leader will begin moving into her office at West and meet with her two fellow STEM specialists from Farmersville and Marrs Elementary Schools. They will work together to plan modules that align with math standards for each grade level. Many utilize engineering and building design concepts. “Our ultimate goal is to work together to get all of our schools STEM certified with the state,” she explained with enthusiasm. “That would be great.”

The Emperor’s Clothes

The past few weeks you, Gentle Reader, and I have been cogitating on the volatile issues of how bias might aﬀect cases in court. Thank you for your interest. Now I would like to lightly examine a case or two where my own objectivity might be questioned. The ﬁrst involves my two-word name and the fact I was born on the Osage Indian Nation in Oklahoma. While I grew up with numerous peers who were Osage, I can make no claim to that proud heritage. But as my father was born in Indian Territory in 1905 before Oklahoma became a state and because my mother’s family, the Berryhills, included undocumented members of both the Creek and Cherokee nations our family does have a slight Native American tradition of which we are proud; although our name was an amalgamation from Prussian/German lineage prior to migration to America in the 17th century, kind of the way Toni Morrison described how African American names were assigned by immigra-

Madeleine, every generation has some significant happening to recall from their youth. I suppose yours will recall the horrors of the Pandemic. For those in my age group, it was Viet Nam. Every evening, we ate our evening meal, while watching the latest news of that thankless war. I was thankful that your father, Sean, and Uncle Todd were very young and far from being old enough to serve in this senseless conflict. We had one friend who stayed in college, hoping to avoid it, and it still gives me chills to recall another friend, Earl Houck, who was sent home in a metal box. He and Grandpa were very good friends and it was hard to realize what had happened to him. I was working at Hirsch’s when he made his last trip home and he told me he had signed up to go back. I pleaded with him not to go, but he was fired up to return. Even those who never knew him probably know that a North Posey scholarship, awarded every year, was named to honor him. Other folks that I knew served in this war, but came back. I never joined any of the protests against this national shame, but I was very vocal in my opinion. In no way, does this dishonor those who had to go. For a long time, there were groups advocating trying to get our POWs back. Years passed and now, we sometimes hear

tion clerks. The original Prussian spelling of Raedwine meant “counsel-friend”. Regardless, when I served as a deputy prosecuting attorney in Vanderburgh County, Indiana some of the folks I prosecuted knew I was from Oklahoma and had an “Indian sounding” name. And though Indiana might have been Indian country when the Mississippi River marked “America’s” western border, when I lived in Indiana, Hoosiers were quite a ways removed from Native American culture. In fact, Osage County, Oklahoma was more the stuff of Hollywood than reality to most people in Vanderburgh County, Indiana. Anyway, the criminal element I came into frequent contact with as a prosecuting attorney often put me into the paid gun fighter genre. It will not surprise you that when I was vigorously seeking jail time for some of those misguided souls they took umbrage at my efforts and me. One of those habitual backsliders was a young African American man whom I prosecuted more than once. He was not amused at my repeated attempts to remove him from polite society and often referred to me to my face

as, “Red Skin” not Redwine. The culmination of my uncomfortable and frequent contact with Mr. Politically Incorrect occurred during a jury trial where Mr. Miscreant, who had about as much court experience as his young court-appointed attorney, over ruled his lawyer’s advice and demanded to testify in his own defense. As I had a list of several convictions of impeachable oﬀenses by Mr. _____ that I could bring out before the jury on cross-examination, I was eager to get a chance at him. Well, as the saying goes, “Be careful what you wish for.” This particular charge of about forty years ago occurred out of one of those situations we in today’s media market would call a Black Lives Matter fact pattern. George Willie _____ was seen beside a broken window to a business. A concerned citizen called the Evansville, Indiana police department and a squad car with two oﬃcers was dispatched. The police saw G.W. __?__ at the scene and chased him for several blocks. George’s story was he had done nothing wrong but was afraid the white cops would never believe him and might harm him.

As he told his story I grew ever more excited for the chance to bring him down. The heavily tattooed, long dreadlocked, dashiki wearing multiple ear ringed very dark defendant sullenly answered my cross-examination questions for several minutes then when I brought out his most recent prior conviction he loudly said as he glanced at the jury and then stared me in the eye: “Redwine, why is you always after me. We Black folks and you Indians should be on the same side, after all, the white man stole your land.” The jury tittered, the judge laughed, the defense attorney knocked his ﬁst on his counsel table and I was struck dumb. And, yes, if you must know, Mr. Repeat Oﬀender was found not guilty by the jury. I avoided ever going up against Mr. Eloquent again by claiming I did not think it would be fair for me to do so. In reality, I just didn’t want to give him another chance. For more Gavel Gamut articles go to www. jamesmredwine.com or “Like/Follow” us onfa ceboo&JPegRanchBooks&Knitting.

Memories

about a soldier’s remains finally getting home. I could go on about the war, but that isn’t what I sat down to write about. Many of you know that I have a major crush on Tom Selleck and I watch the old Magnum PI reruns over and over. We were born only a few days apart in January of 1945, and as the years pass, I see both of us aging. When these shows were current in the early 80s, I will never forget my mother-inlaw, Lucile Powers, mentioning frequently how much he resembled my husband. Those who currently see the 80-yearold version of Don Powers will have a hard time visualizing this. However I still think of him as the strong young man he was 50 years ago. It is hard to think that all of this time has passed. Tom Selleck was several inches taller and it was mostly body similarities that remind me. Many of our arguments revolved around my unreasonable possessiveness, but I suppose I was always afraid he would leave me. Maybe this was rooted in the pain I felt when my father left and never returned. Now, I simply worry that he is working too hard and might end up harming himself in some way. He, of course, does not like me voicing my concerns. When he has gone shopping and seems to be gone too long, I also get anxious. One would think he would be happy about my relentless concern, but he sees it as be-

ing controlling. I believe that this is rooted in his childhood, when he was told what to do by a household of women. By the time I met her, his grandmother seemed like a kindly elderly lady, but he tells stories of her crazy beliefs and rules. I am glad my husband had broken free of most of this by this time of his life. There was to be no dancing; no card playing, and certain children were not considered suitable as playmates. I don’t remember having a lot of rules to follow as a child, but I was trusted to make good choices. I believe that rearing children with love and common sense makes for good parenting. I tried to follow this pattern with my own children, and they all turned out pretty good. I don’t remember being exposed to bad influences in those times; perhaps that is why Viet Nam seemed so unbelievable and terrible. I don’t know if my mother and grandparents went out of their way to shelter me from having to deal with the evils of the world. I did feel somewhat unprepared for a lot of things. The world did a lot of changing from the easy going 50s to the 70s. We were also influenced by the “feel good” early television shows. I wanted to believe that every problem was patiently explained by a soft spoken father, and kids always made good choices. As one would surmise, I was disappointed when others did not seem to follow the script.

Matt Hostettler, State Representative Indiana invests in local law enforcement Indiana’s law enforcement officers work hard to protect all Hoosiers. To ensure our public safety officials have the tools and training to do their jobs, the next two-year state budget makes significant investments to support law enforcement and public safety. We dedicated $70 million to make muchneeded updates to training facilities and enhance programs at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy, and dedicated $3.5 million per year to local law enforcement training grants. In addition, local law enforcement can apply for new state grants to purchase body-worn cameras. The budget also provides for salary increases for state police, conservation and ex-

cise officers. We also expanded the successful High Tech Crimes Unit Program to help law enforcement gather and process digital evidence to solve more crimes. The budget includes $5 million annually for the Indiana Crime Guns Task Force, which uses data-driven methods to link crime guns to unsolved cases and apprehend suspects across jurisdictional boundaries. As your state representative, I respect and appreciate our police officers who put themselves in harm’s way each day in order to serve and protect all Hoosiers. To our local public safety officers, I thank you for your service to our communities.

Jim Tomes, IN State Senator District 49 Overriding the governor’s veto of Senate Enrolled Act 5 This week, my colleagues and I voted to override the governor’s veto of Senate Enrolled Act 5, which deals with local health orders during declared emergencies, resulting in this legislation becoming law. SEA 5 makes two important changes that give local elected oﬃcials more say over health orders. First, it requires any local health order issued in response to a declared emergency to be approved by the local elected legislative body if the local order goes further than a statewide executive

T S B D H

order. Second, it allows anyone who is subject to a local health department’s enforcement action to appeal their case to the local elected legislative body if the health department’s action was taken in response to a declared emergency. The emergency situations covered by SEA 5 do not refer to one-oﬀ situations like a restaurant inspection discovering unsanitary conditions. In those cases, health departments will still be able to take immediate action just as they always have. SEA 5 speciﬁcally addresses health orders

that arise after a local government declares a communitywide emergency. During the COVID-19 pandemic, local health officers have stepped up and made tough decisions to protect their communities, and many have done a great job. However, the reality is these health officers were appointed, not elected. I supported SEA 5 because I think it reflects a fundamental principle of American government — decisions that affect an entire community should be made by the officials elected to lead that community.

A friend in need is a friend indeed

I’ve been in some dark places in my life, and I’ve had trials and troubles plenty. I’ve had friends that were there to help me get through those dark times... but not the ones I expected. On the contrary, it was the quiet ones, the ones I never thought I’d hear from. In Mark the 2 chapter, Jesus healed a paralyzed man because of his friends, and the faith they had in Jesus... so who you keep company with really can make a diﬀerence. Sometimes you need to just sit next to someone in their darkness because you’ve been in some dark places yourself. You don’t need to speak words... you just

need to be there for them, be with them, and wait it out. Because I had some true friends that came along and waited it out with me until my darkness lifted... I want to be like them. The old saying still stands true... a friend in need is a friend indeed. Proverbs 18:24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. A friend who’s seen a little darkness just might be all one needs to get through their dark times. You never know, someone’s future could be altered... all because of a friend. Just something to think about. P / E D P

PLEASE read these quotes! They are almost prophetic by Ayn Rand. Ayn was born and educated in Russia, she moved to the United States in 1926. Although she was an atheist, her writings should have served as a warning. We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is ﬂowing to those who

deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacriﬁce - you may know that your society is doomed. Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned beneﬁt, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others. Do not keep silent when your own ideas and values are being attacked. If a dictatorship ever comes to this country, it will be by the fault of those who keep silent. We are still free enough to speak. Do we have time? No one can tell.

Fatal wreck on I-64 Special to the News Friday night, May 14, at approximately 8:00, Indiana State Police, Posey County Sheriff’s Office, Posey County EMS, and multiple fire departments responded to a single vehicle crash on I-64 at the 3 milemarker that claimed the life of an Evansville mother and injured five of her children. Preliminary investigation revealed Whitney Steverson, 32, of Evansville, was driving a 2003 Ford F-150 pickup truck and traveling east in the driving lane on I-64 at the 3 mile-marker when she swerved into the passing lane and toward the median to avoid rear-ending another vehicle. Steverson attempted to steer away from the median but overcorrected. Her vehicle crossed both eastbound lanes, left the roadway on the south side, rolled, and came to a final rest on its side. Steverson was pronounced dead at the scene by the Posey County Coroner. Steverson’s five children were injured.

Green Valley Apartments to host military dedication on Memorial Day By Pam Robinson Mount Vernon’s Green Valley Apartments will add value to its name with a special dedication ceremony on Memorial Day morning, Monday, May 31. The ceremony will honor the life and service of Army Sergeant Francis C. Green, born in Mount Vernon, Indiana, on September 4, 1835.

A representative of the apartments’ ownership, an active-duty Army Captain, Bo Goebel, discussed the event during a phone interview from Fort Benning (Georgia). He said the dedication would connect the apartment complex with Green’s legacy and display community pride in the military and Posey County history.

Ask Amy Koch A monthly column from the Executive Director of the Charles Ford Retirement Communities of New Harmony The hope of a return to normalcy The Charles Ford Retirement Community of New Harmony was one of only a few assisted living communities to not experience the loss of any of its residents due to the Covid-19 virus. Thanks to the enormous effort and sacrifice of the staff and the involvement and understanding of residents’ families, the year closed without that sadness and a New Year opened with the happy knowledge of a vaccine and the hope of a return to normalcy. Currently, all residents and all active staff at the home are vaccinated, and residents may gather without masks and distancing, which translates to resumed communal dining and life enrichment activities. We asked Amy Koch, the Community’s executive director, to briefly describe what this

newly earned freedom means for those within the facility and she did so with just two words: “Pure joy,” she said. “We can have this unique opportunity, because we are a small group of people. Even though restrictions are still ﬂuid, because there are changing guidelines to be followed, we can be together again. It was wonderful for everyone to reunite in the dining room and to listen as residents engaged in full conversation,” she explained. “In order to keep this ‘safe bubble,’ unvaccinated visitors are now limited to porch visits except where there are extenuating circumstances,” Amy explained. “Certain situations can qualify as ‘compassionate care visits.’ “Some restrictions, still apply,” she said. “All visitors are

Sergeant Francis C. Green was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, this nation’s highest and most prestigious military decoration, on September 6, 1869. According to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, he received the medal for his bravery in action during the Indian campaigns in the vicinity of the Black Mountains, Arizona, on August 22, 1868. He served with Company K, 8th U.S. Calvary. Cpt. Goebel points out Sgt. Green is the only person from Posey County, Indiana, to receive the prestigious Medal of Honor. The Congressional Medal of Honor Society lists Green’s death date as March 13, 1905, in Erin, Tennessee, and his burial site as the Nicolas Graveyard (PM) in Erin, Tennessee. A history buff, Cpt. Goebel discovered the legacy of Francis C. Green and started the process to formalize the dedication of Green Valley Apartments to this 19th century soldier. Mount Vernon Mayor Bill Curtis as well as the Commander of Mount Vernon’s American Legion Honor Guard, Max Dieterle, said Cpt. Goebel made them aware of this piece of local history. Both the Mayor and the honor guard will participate in the dedication, scheduled to begin at 8:45 a.m. on Memorial Day. Additional community leaders and officials have been invited to witness the dedication. Cpt. Goebel welcomed community citizens to witness the proceedings also, but to be prepared to stand for the duration. The ceremony is expected to conclude at 9:20 a.m. After Cpt. Goebel’s introductory remarks, an opening prayer, and a moment of silence, May-

asked to enter through the front entrance and be screened during normal visiting hours, 10 a.m., to 5 p.m., and residents are still limited to two visitors at a time. Fully vaccinated visitors must wear masks and maintain safe distancing in the hallways, but may visit freely once inside their resident’s room. Non vaccinated visitors will be directed to a designated porch area and their resident will join them there. Masks and distancing continue to be required by all individuals during unvaccinated porch visits. “Even though these restrictions can be frustrating for some, they are a small concession to pay,” Amy said. “Going forward, we will continue to develop policies that follow the guidelines to provide a secure environment and honor the safeDNR seeks to fill Indiana Conservation ty of our residents.” Officer positions The Indiana DNR Division of Law Enforcement is looking for highly motivated, outdoorcentered individuals to fill Indiana Conservathe Bennett Sisters Company, the Ladies Minstrels, tion Officer (ICO) positions across the state. the Hawk Company, the Hammett & Sutherland Anyone interested should first read “Bestock companies. come a Conservation Officer” at on.IN.gov/ The WMI’s archives contain many play bills, posters which described the plays to be shown. dnrlaw and complete the pre-screening test under the “Apply” link on that website.

DNR News

WMI’s Artifact Under Exam by Melora Adams Most people think of the Golden Theatre Troupe as being the only theatrical people in New Harmony. We have catalogued a photograph album that begs to diﬀer. It is a family album for the extended family of James Bennett and his wife Maria. He was originally from New York and moved to New Harmony at an early age. According to the records here at the WMI he attended the School of Industry and learned the trade of printing working in the Disseminator oﬃce. He later published the Gleaner. As far as we can tell, he was not involved in the theater at all. James and Maria had three sons, John Bennett, William Bennett, and James Bennett. They were involved in the theater, local theater at least. They helped purchase Union Hall (what is now Thrall’s Opera House) in March 1867, to save it from threatened conversion into a livery stable. They married and had children. All but a few photographs in this album are pictures of members of that extended family. Some of them were not theatrical people, but most of them were. These cards appear to date from circa 1872 through 1895. There is only one couple pictured in the album: Julia Bennett and her husband Lewis Sutherland. Most of the photographs are of individuals. A look into the records shows that the members of this family were involved in various parts of theater, from stage management to acting to orchestra direction. And they worked in a variety of places. A brief look through the records shows the Orpheum Theatre in Hammond, Indiana, the Isis Theatre in Topeka, Kansas, the Buchanan Company, the Waddell Players, the De Pew Burdette Stock Company,

Death Comes To Frederick Leonard - Death came suddenly to Fred Leonard, prominent historian, lawyer, and jurist of this city, at the Walker Sanitarium in Evansville this morning at 3:45, following an operation. Mr. Leonard had been in ill health for a number of years, but it was only during the past week that his illness became alarming. He was 63 years, four months and fifteen days old. Mr. Leonard was the oldest practicing attorney at the Posey County bar. Since 1905 he has served as Vice President of the Mount Vernon National Bank. Besides his wife, he is survived by two sons, Frederick, stationed at Philadelphia in the U.S. Navy and Jack, a student at Purdue University and a daughter, Mrs. William Hambley of Detroit. He was born in Mount Vernon, Nov. 4, 1858, the son of Charles and Mary Leonard.

After graduating from Mount Vernon High in the class of 1875, he entered Indiana State University and received the Bachelor of Arts degree. He then entered the law department of the University of Michigan and received the degree of Bachelor of Law. He served one term as Mayor of Mount Vernon.

The Owen Dunn Post #5 American Legion Honor Guard will raise the flag with the bugle and conclude with a 21-gun salute following Cpt. Goebel’s dedication speech. At three points during the ceremony, Cpt. Goebel stated, soldiers representing the Charlie Battery of the Southern Indiana National Guard will fire a volley from Howitzer cannons. Apartment Manager Monica Williams highlighted the pride the new, local owners and management have taken in Green Valley Apartments since they took over in 2020.

Amenities include central heat and air, frost-free refrigerator, laundry facilities, electric range with hood, and abundant parking. Green Valley Apartments is located in a quiet residential location, 515 Green Valley Drive, just south of East Lincoln Avenue. The Francis C. Green Medal of Honor Dedication is meant to display hometown pride in Green Valley Apartments in particular and Mount Vernon in general.

Mayor Zimmerman will preside over festivities and Silas Ichenhauser (of Evansville Park Board) will speak. This park was donated to the citizens of Mount Vernon by Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Cronbach and was named in memory of their deceased son, Sherburne, who died before reaching manhood. The cost of the park exceeded a small sum over $4,000. Sherburne Park is a veritable little fairyland for children, being beautifully illuminated with four luxalabra light posts, with four lights on each post. A large ﬂag pole, with a light on each side, stands in the south center of the park. For the amusement of the children, the park is ﬁlled with benches, teeter-boards, awnings, shoot-theshoots, rocking “boats,” trapeze, rings, horizontal bars, etc., all of which are taken advantage of by the youngsters each night during the summer months. In the center of the park a shelter house/ band stand was erected, underneath which are toilet rooms. Just south of the shelter house is a sanitary drinking fountain, with underground coils so arranged that ice can be placed thereon, giving everybody a cool, refreshing drink during the park season. The park was secured during the administration of Mayor John Moeller. Mr. Stallman was appointed Supt. Of Construction of the park and served as chairman of the park committee.

THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS - PAGE A5

‘Housing’ continued from Page A1 change the county, it comes down to the need to stay afloat. “It’s pretty common in Posey County, we don’t want change and we don’t want to grow. We want to stay the way we are, but the problem is you have to grow some or you’re just losing money,” Greenwell said. “We are getting ready to enter into budget hearings. Every single year, the (Posey County) Council asks employers ‘how many of your people work and live in Posey County?’ Oftentimes, it’s less than 50 percent of their employees actually live in Posey County. That’s a big chunk of those tax dollars that are being paid in other counties. Even if they wanted to live here, I don’t know that they could live here. I mean there’s just nothing available,” Greenwell said. Richardt and members of the economic partnership are doing their job. Businesses are interested in coming into Posey County. Existing Posey County businesses are looking to expand. Executives from Green Plains Inc., pitched their desire for a personal property tax abatement on the equipment portion of their $68.8 million expansion at Tuesday’s county council meeting. Council members have a scoresheet for grading projects based on their overall contribution to the economy before making recommendations on abatement requests. In-county residency for project employees is one of many factors included in the scoring criteria used by county council members when deciding on possible tax abatements for companies looking to expand in Posey County. Jobs retained by the project and new jobs stemming from the project are also key elements in the decision making process. “Do you have any sort of incentive for your employees to live in Posey County?” Posey County Council President Healther Allyn asked Devin Mogler, the company’s vice president of governmental affairs. Mogler said 71 percent of the company’s current employees reside in Posey County. He said Green Plains Inc., doesn’t incentivize residency or try to require residency of its employees. He told council members that he was open to ideas and suggestions based on what other companies are doing. “The reason why we ask that question, just so everyone is aware, if (employees) don’t live in Posey County, we have to share their income tax with the county they reside in. If they reside in Vanderburgh, Warren or Gibson County, we as a county, have to share their income tax 50/50 with that county. It is very important that we retain as many people as we can because there’s a whole lot of money leaving this county every year,” Councilman Aaron Wilson explained. Richardt said that new companies are interested in coming into Posey County, bringing with them revenue growing jobs and new families. “We have several projects that are looking and interested in Posey County right now. I want to mention that, obviously, doesn’t mean we will land them, but they are interested in looking, large scale and small scale,” Richardt told council members at Tuesday’s meeting. County officials agree on the need for jobs and growth, however, with around 12,000 jobs already open in the region and very low area unemployment, the need to bring in new employees to fill those jobs looks likely. The problem? Once again... where will these new employees live? A search of real estate site Zillow revealed just 14 houses for sale in Posey County on Friday, up from 11 two weeks ago. Workers looking to rent will have a tougher time. Rental search engine www.rentalsource.com has just one house available, a three bedroom, two bathroom home in Mount Vernon listed at $1,080 per month. Apartment searching across multiple sites yielded similar results, with just two, one bedroom units available, one in Wadesville and one in Mount Vernon. “Right now our housing in Mount Vernon...we don’t really have a housing inventory. When something comes up for sale, it sells almost immediately. I’m talking about your starter homes. That is, from my perspective, probably our greatest need. It impacts development. There was just an announcement of 1,400 (new) jobs at Toyota. The way the market runs now, they’re looking at an area of drawing employees that certainly would include the Mount Vernon area. That could impact our housing, if we had some of the housing. We’ve got other companies that are looking at Mount Vernon and the port. Fortunately, we are in an area that people are very interested in for industrial growth, but when people ask about housing, we don’t have it,” Mount Vernon Mayor Bill Curtis said. “One thing just impacts another.” The lack of housing options isn’t

just a deterrent to new companies. It’s impacting the hiring process for existing Posey County businesses as well. “The SABIC Mount Vernon facility attracts top talent from across the globe. Housing and schools are a big factor in many of our candidates’ decisions to move here,” said Niall McConville, director of SABIC’s Mount Vernon site. “Posey County has strong schools that meet candidates’ needs, but we have heard that there are not enough options for housing. Many don’t want long commutes and this may deter them from accepting a position.” Richardt said her office works with housing developers and businesses, so she’s witnessed the problem from both sides and the issue is hardly unique to Posey County. “There’s several communities across the United States that are struggling with the same thing. Part of that is because building a house right now is extremely expensive. Developers are having a hard time recouping their costs if they go out and build. If they have a plan to go out and build a whole subdivision and they don’t have buyers yet, that’s way too much out of their pocket and risk that they are taking,” Richardt said. She said Warrick County has become an attractive option to home buyers. She said Warrick County has made building subdivisions “their niche right now.” “That’s what they’ve really focused on. If you think about it, Warrick County, they have a small industrial park, but they don’t have a ton of raging business. Posey County has an extreme amount of industry and business. So, in our region when you look at the big umbrella, people don’t necessarily mind to work in Posey County and live in Warrick County,” she explained. Mayor Curtis said a zoning change for property on Main Street for a potential 43 to 48 unit apartment complex could be a step in the right direction. “We’ve been told that the intent is to put market rate apartments on the property. Market rate apartments are something that we really, in my opinion, need. I think most of the economic development information that we look at certainly confirms that that’s a need,” Curtis said. The potential Main Street project received a recommendation to approve the rezoning from the Posey County Area Plan Commission and has passed first and second readings with the Mount Vernon City Council, according to Mindy Bourne, executive director of the APC. But the project has its detractors. Opposition to the project has been voiced on social media by area neighbors concerned about several possible pitfalls, including decreased property values. “I think there were two people that spoke at the council meeting that are opposed to it. That’s not atypical,” Curtis said. Curtis said that an apartment complex’s potential impact on property values would depend on several factors. “I’m not a realtor. It depends as much as what type of apartment goes in as anything else. If the wrong thing went in, could it decrease the property value? Yes. If the right thing goes in, it would probably have little to no impact

(on neighboring property values),” he said. Richardt agreed, but said that market value apartments, if properly maintained, could benefit the county in a lot of ways. “There is a piece of the puzzle that has to fit. You can’t go put a puzzle piece where it doesn’t belong. I get that (some neighbors) feel that way. They don’t want it in their backyard. There are appropriate places. To be honest, that lot... that is a very prime location,” Richardt said. She said the neighborhood’s proximity to downtown, groceries and other necessities make it attractive to apartment complex developers. “We don’t have a lot of spots, but we happen to have the prime spot,” she said. “(People) are quick to ask for what they think we should have, but it’s not a snap of the fingers, make it happen. It’s a lot of pursuing and a lot of work. There’s going to have to be some sort of change, whether it’s an increased population because we’re building apartments or housing for more people to support what we have. If we got a 40 to 48 person apartment complex and it filled immediately, which I strongly feel that it would, it would be way more likely that a small restaurant owner would be like ‘okay, well I’ll come and start my business downtown because there’s more people there.’ It’s like the cart before the horse. It doesn’t work the other way around.” Curtis said that Posey County residents need to be open to change and growth...but the county should be mindful to grow in the right way. “I think we have to be open to growth and to new things. I think people that live in a small town live in a small town because they want to. They don’t want to be in a bigger area. Sometimes, if that’s what we want, it’s hard to accept some of the changes. We’re here because we like it. We don’t want to change it a lot, but you know, that’s just not sustainable. Small towns throughout the Midwest, throughout the country, are having difficulties. It’s more expensive, the infrastructure is more expensive and in order to pay for those things, you have to have people and you have to have structures. That’s where your revenue comes from. If things don’t change, if things don’t grow, rates are going to go up. It’s going to cost more to live here. We have to be cognizant of the ways that we can grow and try to grow that way. You can’t just have growth, you have to have the right kind of growth.” Richardt agreed that it is important to “focus on building Posey County up the right way.” “We’re going to do what we need to do to sustain the current population and then hope to continually grow it a little bit at a time,” she said. “It’s just a little bit at a time, but we have to figure out how to accept change and bring some of the stuff in so we can starting molding minds to say ‘maybe I’m not from Posey County, but I want to go there.’” She said it’s important to look to the future and build a place for the next generation of Posey County residents to call home. “Are your kids staying? Are your kids going to college and coming back? Do you want them to?” she asked.

Bryan A. Ruder Stifel, Nicolaus & Company Financial Advisor Celebrate National 529 Day With the cost of college tuition and expenses continually on the rise, planning for a child’s education is one of the most important financial decisions you can make. For many parents and grandparents, a 529 plan can be a great way to save for future educational expenses. May 29 (5/29) is recognized as National 529 College Savings Plan Day and it is an opportunity to educate yourself about 529 plans. A 529 plan is a state-administered, tax-advantaged investment vehicle designed to save for college. It can be a powerful financial solution when preparing for future educational expenses. With this unique plan, investors can experience tax advantages and estate planning benefits currently unavailable with other education planning

strategies. With a 529 Plan, assets grow tax-deferred, similar to a 401(k) plan or a traditional IRA. While there are no federal tax deduction for making 529 plan contributions, many states may offer some sort of state tax deduction. Some states even allow state tax deductions for contributions made to another state’s plan. Prior to 2018, this tax incentive was only available if the plan was used to fund the beneficiary’s post-secondary education. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, 529 Plans can now also be used to cover up to $10,000 of a child’s K-12 tuition. Be sure to discuss your state’s laws with your qualified tax professional prior to using your 529 Plan for this purpose as some states have not updated their laws to include K-12

tuition as an eligible 529 Plan expense. Unlike IRAs, individuals of all income levels can open a 529 Plan. Grandparents, other relatives or friends can contribute to the beneﬁciary’s education. A 529 account owner can retain complete control of the account, including control of distributions. Distributions are used for qualiﬁed higher education expenses typically include tuition, room and board, books, equipment and fees. Providing for the education of a loved ones, while preserving your assets, is an attainable goal. May 529 Day may be your day to start planning for college expenses. Investors should consider carefully the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses association with a

529 Plan before investing. The official program offering statement, which includes information on municipal fund securities, is available from your Financial Advisor and should be read carefully before investing. The value of a 529 account may fluctuate, and there is no guarantee that any investment portfolio will achieve the stated goal. Your investment may be worth more or less than its original value.

Hans Schmitz, PC Purdue Extension Educator Something’s Eaten the Beans With early planting and the recent cooler temperatures, a window of opportunity opened for an unusual pest to cause damage in this area. The organism is known as a seed corn maggot, but the affected crop this year has been soybean plants. Soybean producers should check fields for affected areas causing poor germination that may require replanting some areas. The seed corn maggot in the larval stage of a fly that resembles a house fly. The flies like to find open seed slots that planters sometimes leave and deposit eggs into the soil near the seed. Once the eggs hatch, the feeding frenzy begins on seed or the emerging plants. Already emerged seedlings may also be affected in this manner. The adult flies hang out near decaying organic matter, so the effects will be observed preferentially in fields with a lot of residue or where manure is applied. Another pest likes a lot of organic matter and feasts on smaller plants, that being slugs. Slugs, like seed corn maggots, are not too picky of eaters. Unlike maggots, slugs feed on the above ground portion of

the plant. Because of this preference, and the fact that slugs are quite a bit larger than maggots, slug damage is easier to diagnose. Seed corn maggot identification requires digging, with positive confirmation if one finds the larvae, a whitish bug measuring no larger than one-fourth inch. The other find could be the pupa, a reddish-orange oval of similar size. When damage is found, best practice is to assess the remaining stand. Here’s where hula hoops get involved. Farmers prefer to refer to them as other names, but one is showing up to a field with a hula hoop and throwing it randomly in areas of the field. One then counts the number of plants in the hula hoop, calculates the area within the hoop, and multiplies to estimate the number of plants per acre. In drilled fields where stands exceed 100,000 plants per acre, full potential yield is still expected. Fields with 30-inch rows can get down to 80,000 plants with full yield potential, but yield potential on 30s is generally expected to be lower than drilled or 15-inch rows. The potential yield hit dropping from 80,000 plants to 60,000 plants is from 96 to 92 percent, at which

point the economic decision to replant becomes palatable. At lower stand counts, expect more time to be spent scouting for weeds and potentially dollars on herbicide to control in canopies that may close later than a field with greater population. The other decision on replanting is how soon replanting can occur. Although we can certainly plant soybeans in this area throughout June, there is a general rule that yield in reduced slightly by shortening the length of the growing season. The Corn and Soybean Field Guide by Purdue suggests that yield begins to reduce when planting after May 20 in Indiana. References for this information include the most recent Purdue Pest and Crop Newsletter, with the article entitled “Seed Corn Maggots Damaging Early-Planted Soybean.” “Thin Soybean Stands: Should I Replant, Fill-In, or Leave Them Alone?” also known as Purdue publication SPS-104-W, is another good reference. The Purdue Corn and Soybean Field Guide also provides many of these tables. For more information, contact Hans at hschmitz@purdue.edu or 812-838-1331.
