By Dave Pearce An active spring weather pattern of rain showers and thunderstorms saturated soils and caused waters to rise all over Indiana, but especially in Posey County over the weekend.

Many roads were closed and others too dangerous to travel after rains were reported in Posey County from a low amount of around five inches in southern Posey County to as many as 11 inches of rain further north over the weekend. The heavy rain and the dangers associated with washed out roads and high waters caused North Posey to postpone this year’s prom until Sunday afternoon. Nearby Gibson Southern school officials were still scurrying to find answers

Excess water may hurt area farmers

By Dave Pearce While life was disrupted for most Posey County residents, Posey County’s farmers are most likely to suffer the most repercussions from such a heavy rainfall.

Area farmers will have to take a “wait and see” attitude into the coming days, according to Heather Allyn, of Allyn Farms located east of Mount Vernon.

Janet E. Satin Janet Redman Satin, 78, wife, mother, grandmother, teacher and community volunteer died at home on March 30, 2017.

Jan was born in Posey County, Ind., the youngest of the ten children of Hattie and Raymond Redman. She graduated from Mount Vernon (Ind.,) HS and held degrees from the University of Evansville and Russell Sage College.

She moved to New York in 1970 with her husband, Maurice “Reese” and their children Lisa McCarthy (Seattle, Wa.,) and Lynna Demay (Oradell, NJ). Their son “Josh” (Cohoes, NY) joined the family after their arrival in Poughkeepsie. Madeline, Jessica, Kathleen and Jason were her cherished grandchildren.

Jan taught and nurtured elementary students in Evansville, Ind., Columbia, Mo., Hyde Park, NY and retired from the Ravena, Coeymans, Selkirk schools in 2003.

She was a committed volunteer: saving the Bardavon Theater, Welcome Wagon hostess, teaching and guiding education and many other activities at her church, Tiny Tots program of Albany Symphony’s Vanguard, blood donor, Cooperative Extension, Literacy Volunteers and The Community Hospice.

Her family, friends and all those whose lives she touched will continue to benefit from the love and inspiration she freely gave.

A celebration of Jan’s life-long contributions to us all will be held on May 13 at 2 p.m. at the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Albany, 405 Washington Avenue, Albany, NY. Memorial gifts may be sent to the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Albany or the International Rescue Committee.

gate prices, we have seen continued declines in retail prices for livestock products including eggs, beef, chicken, pork and cheese,” said John Newton, AFBF’s director of market intelligence. “As farm-gate prices for livestock products have declined and remained lower, prices in the retail meat case have become more competitive,” Newton said.

The INFB market basket total of $45.99 for 16 food items is the lowest since 2012, which is when the survey adopted its current shopping list. The same 16 items were $52.61 this time last year.

“Whether prices rise or fall, it’s important to remember that the farmer’s share of our food dollar remains really low and that it’s changed very little over the past few years,” noted Isabella Chism, INFB 2nd vice president and chair of the INFB Women’s Leadership Committee, which coordinates the survey. “On average, about 16 cents out of every food dollar goes to the farmer, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The remaining 84 percent goes to the other parts of the food industry – those that get that food from the farm to our grocery stores and restaurants.”

Fourteen of the 16 items in the survey decreased in price compared to last spring. The items that decreased the most were cereal and eggs – which dropped by more than $1 – orange juice and boneless chicken breasts.

The survey’s prices compared to a year ago are: • Cereal, down $1.11 to 2.04 for a 10-ounce box.

• Eggs, down $1.04 per dozen to $1.22.

• Orange juice, down 82 cents to $2.80/half gallon.

• Boneless chicken breasts, down 77 cents to $2.59/pound.

• Vegetable oil, down 68 cents to $1.79 for a 32-ounce bottle.

• Sirloin tip roast, down 67 cents/pound to $4.89.

• Whole milk, down 51 cents to $2.27/gallon.

• Ground chuck, down 49 cents to $3.83/pound.

• Potatoes, down 26 cents per 5-pound bag to $2.47.

• White bread, down 24 cents per 20-ounce loaf to $1.26.

• Bacon, down 17 cents to $4.68/pound.

• Flour, down 16 cents per 5-pound bag to $2.15.

• Apples, down 8 cents to $1.79/pound.

• Shredded cheddar cheese, down 4 cents per pound to $4.08.

• Sliced deli ham, up 37 cents to $6.02/pound.

• Bagged salad mix, up 5 cents to $2.11/pound.

The year-to-year direction of the market basket survey tracks closely with the federal government’s Consumer Price Index report (www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm) for food at home.

“The results of this market basket survey track with overall food price trends that we’ve seen from the BLS,” Newton said. ”The Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that food prices are down from prior year levels. This survey shows that we continue to have a safe, affordable and high-quality food supply here in the United States.”

The INFB survey is part of a nationwide survey compiled by the American Farm Bureau Federation from data supplied by state Farm Bureaus. AFBF, the nation’s largest general farm organization, has been conducting the informal quarterly market basket survey of retail food price trends since 1989. The series includes a spring survey, summer cookout survey, fall survey and Thanksgiving survey. A total of 117 shoppers (11 of them from Indiana) in 31 states participated in the latest survey, conducted in March.

‘Farmers’ continued from Page A1 On Sunday evening, Allyn was asked how much of the corn which had already been planted would have to be replanted. She indicated there was no way to tell just yet.

“The difference is that a lot of the corn is 2-3 weeks old instead of being a very young plant,” Allyn said.

“We believe that most of it will be OK, but it will look ugly for awhile.”

Allyn said farmers will have to “patch in” some fields where water stands too long.

Allyns were further along with corn planting than some in the area, reporting that as much as 90 percent of their corn is planted already.

“It is hard to tell on replant since it is still raining but best guess is 10 percent would have to be replanted as of now,” Allyn surmised. “Because the ground that isn’t planted yet is the lower and bottom ground fields,

we will have to wait to see what it all looks like tomorrow (Monday) afternoon. We haven’t been in Point Township to see it because the road has been cut off. There’s a reason we wait to plant the lower fields — spring rains.”

Posey County farmer Steve Miller wasn’t as far along as the Allyns with spring planting but it could turn out to be a blessing as some of the ground he farms in not too far from the Ohio River.

According to Miller’s wife Stefani, “Steve said there will definitely be some replanting done, but at this point it’s a wait and see situation. We have to see what comes up and what doesn’t. We have some fields that have washed out areas. But Steve hadn’t planted yet in the river bottoms” Although admitting this is a lot of

rain, Miller can recall a similar situation about 12 years ago.

“Steve said we personally had six inches the night Katrina remnants hit our area,” Stefani said. “That was in 2005.”

Miller said he could recall nothing similar since 2005.

Farmers are being urged to take special precautions when waters such as these arise in the area.

“When storm water drains are blocked, waters can rise rapidly and flood roadways,” according to the Indiana State Department of Transportation. “It is important that property owners keep drainage inlets near their property clean and clear of litter and debris to prevent blockages that can cause localized flooding.”

Driving into flood waters is one of the most dangerous things drivers can do behind the wheel. Never drive

through flooded roadways, especially if the water is moving rapidly, and never drive around barriers warning that the road is flooded.

When encountering a flooded roadway, death and vehicle damage can be prevented by following the simple advice to “Turn around, don’t drown!” According to the National Weather Service, more than half of all flood-related drownings occur when a vehicle is driven into hazardous flood water. Flash floods and floods are the number one cause of deaths associated with thunderstorms, with more than 90 fatalities each year.

The weight of a vehicle in high water will not always keep tires in contact with the road. The water is likely to be deeper than it appears, and it is possible that the roadway could be completely washed out.

In addition, most cars can be swept away in less than two feet of moving water. Trucks and SUVs do not fare much better, even with additional clearance. Once a car is buoyant, the force of moving water can push vehicles sideways or upside down, giving passengers little time to escape.

Always turn on your vehicle’s headlights when windshield wipers are needed. If you need windshield wipers to help see the road and other vehicles, help other drivers see your vehicle by using headlights and tail lights. Likewise, always use turn signals when turning or changing lanes — especially when weather reduces visibility.

When storms cause power outages, traffic signals are affected. Report power and signal outages and treat these intersections as all-way stops

‘Hastings’ continued from Page A1 Imprinted hats and visors are given away at different price points, as well as free embossed pens and calendar gifts to all.

“It’s hard to believe our business is 35-years-old this year.

We’ve come quite a way from the first year when we had five acres of U-pick fruits and vegetables. There were no greenhouses. I operated with a cash box pretty much from the back of an old barn. My dad built an outhouse that served us for the first few years,” she reminisced. Two years later in 1984, the first greenhouse was erected and right now, number six is “half way up.”

A small sales building was built in the nineties and now it boasts having a concrete floor and an indoor toilet. It is filled with all kinds of garden items such as fountains, flags, wind chimes, planters, statues, crafts, and garden tools.

Hastings credits the “wonderful employees I have helping every year” with the business’ longevity. Lydia Lurker and JoAnn Holbrook are both celebrating fifteen year anniversaries and Brenda Lurker is celebrating ten years. The annual operation begins in January with planting seeds and slips for the opening in the middle of March. “We grow almost all our plants, which we feel is a great bonus for customers in variety and quality,” she said.

The variety of vegetables, such as all kinds of tomatoes and peppers, was marvelous. “We sell most every kind available in catalogs, and for sure, the really popular ones in this area.

Of course, no matter how hard you try, there will always be someone coming in asking for something we don’t have! I’ll try to get it next year,” she said with a smile.

Flowers and succulents are everywhere in all hues. Besides the traditional ones, there are unusual African Mask plants and sensitive mimosa plants that fold up with the slightest touch.

Children love to watch them. A very complete assortment of herbs is available for sale, including a Kentucky Colonel spearmint guaranteed to perk up any mint julep.

Hoosier Homestead Awards are on display honoring the farm for being in the same family for 100 and 150 years. Husband Michael helps behind the scenes getting work accomplished, such as changing plastic on the greenhouses, building shelves in the pot shed, adding and replacing water hydrants and fixing the septic system. They have two grown children, Daniel and Diane, and Socks and Pizazz, the shy cats.

“In 2015, Mike installed 72 solar panels on the family farm and they generate enough electricity to power the greenhouses and sales building the entire year. They are located in the field just east of the greenhouses and Michael will be happy to tell you all about them if you hunt him down,” she explained.

Nancy claims the “best display and selection” is from now

until May 14. Hours of operation then are: 9-6 p.m. Mon-Fri, 9 -4 p.m. Saturday, and 1-4 p.m. on Sundays. After May 15 until closing in mid-June, hours will remain the same, but the greenhouses will close on Sundays. Memorial Day will be open from 9-4 p.m.

Nancy and crew are planning to celebrate with their tenth annual “Late Night at the Greenhouse” party. It will be held Friday, May 19 from 8 p.m. until 11 p.m. Lights will be strung in the greenhouses and outside to make a festive atmosphere.

Plants will be discounted and there will be many refreshments and door prize drawings to enjoy. A Grand Prize Drawing will take place at 11 p.m. and you must be present to win. Customers should bring a lawn chair and flashlight to sit while listening to the music of “Cliff, the Drifter,” enjoying the fragrant plant smells in the air, and looking up at the night sky and all those stars.

Don’t take opportunities for granted

Madeleine, you may B C P

read about it in history books, however your generation is fortunate enough to rarely experience prejudice towards women. At least most attitudes and laws have changed. Recently, there was a news story about the ďŹ rst woman to run the Boston Marathon. Katherine Switzer is in great shape and still running 50 years later. Many people probably saw the news ďŹ lm, showing the organizer of the race actually attempting to physically force her out of the race. Her boyfriend was there to intervene.

Considering the fact that when your great grandmother, the ďŹ rst Madeleine, was born, women did not even have the right to vote, we have come a long way. However, there are still issues to resolve, of course. One of the best changes is granting maternity leave to working mothers. That is even a possibility for new fathers.

When I gave birth to your Uncle Todd, (ďŹ fty years ago this year), I had to just resign from a really good job. If there had been maternity leave at Mead Johnson in 1967, I could have returned to a job that I really liked. I worked in the Research Center Library. With the advent of computers and the internet, this job might have been eventually phased out, but I believe it would have evolved into some other position. One of my good friends, Karen, continued to work for the company long after I left.

It was only a few years before your Aunt Heather was born when ladies were allowed to wear pantsuits to their place of employment. This rule might not have been in place every-

where, but it was for many jobs. Of course, other rules of grooming have disappeared that I wish were still adhered to.

Like so many other things, this issue has reached the other end of common sense.

When there is some way to accomplish the end result, I am sure that some employers still get away with unfair hiring and advancements. Madeleine, can you even imagine applying for a job, and losing it to a man who is less competent for the position? However, there are very few professions that are closed to women now.

I know of some women who were totally unprepared when their spouses passed away suddenly. They had never handled the couple’s ďŹ nances nor even had knowledge of how to do so. Their “professionâ€? had always been that of wife and mother. There is nothing wrong with that, of course. However, everyone should have some type of training or degree in order to have independence if necessary. At one time, it was a very diďŹƒcult thing for women to establish credit on their own.

Many couples now have individual bank accounts and handle their own business.

I have spoken to women who did not even know how to write a check. I am the ďŹ rst to admit how woefully stupid I am about technology, but I have a working knowledge of the things that we must deal with to live in the 21st century. Refusing to confront advancements in technology does not make them go away. My daughter, your Aunt Heather, recently told me that I should not own devices that I did not understand totally. Most of the folks in my generation share this limited knowledge, and it is diďŹƒcult for young folks to imagine how it is for us.

Lets Camp America campaign begins May 5 Charles Huck shows longtime friend George Rapp a letter his wife, Sally, recently found stashed away since 1946. It was written by Charles in eighth-grade assembly inviting Sally to the Halloween Frolic Dance. She accepted and that first date led to a 64 year marriage. Trouble was Charles couldn’t remember writing it. After all these years, George finally confessed that he and a friend forged the letter for their shy friend and gave it to Sally. The confession delighted guests attending a party at the Rapp Home Friday night thanking volunteers who helped with the First Brush of Spring in New Harmony last week. Photo by Lois Mittino Gray

Learn to pitch a tent, build a ďŹ re, cook outdoors and more during Let’s Camp America Weekend at Indiana State Parks, May 5-7. The weekend is a chance for beginners to learn basic camping skills, and for experienced campers to get their equipment out for a spring weekend. Activities will take place at all 32 Indiana State Parks properties and on social media. The weekend celebrates all forms of camping, including tents, trailers, recreational vehicles and cabins.

The weekend concludes with free admission for everyone — campers and day-users alike— on Sunday, May 7, in honor of Visit Indiana Week, sponsored by the Indiana OďŹƒce of Tourism Development.

By the time you enter the workforce in whichever profession you ultimately choose, most old prejudices and ideas will hopefully be gone.

Much of the remaining antiquated beliefs were learned as children. Madeleine, your generation of young women will owe their vast opportunities to those brave souls who stood up and made it happen.

Even when laws change, it takes several generations of progress to alter unfair beliefs. When we owned Country Cottage, one young Grandma Madeleine, man that we hired had a Evansville’s best commercial hard time thinking of me as artist in the 60’s his boss. Over and over, he ignored what I told him, and looked to your grandfather for the rules of the job. One day, I sat him down and explained the pecking order of who he needed to listen to.

I wish I could assure you that your future adulthood will be free from dumb remarks and unfair comparisons, but I am pretty sure you will never let someone say “you do that pretty good for a girl,� or “stand back and let a man show you how that should be done.�

The world that you and Issabella will inherit oers you endless opportunities to do whatever you choose. You may never decide to run in the Boston Marathon, but isn’t it great to know that you could if you wanted to?

Red Cross - Poseyville Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. They don’t wear capes or special suits, and their badge of honor is the bandage that shows they gave the gift of life.

The community is invited to become a hometown hero and answer the call of patients in need by donating blood on Wednesday, May 10, 2017 from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Poseyville Community Center located at 60 North Church Street in Poseyville, Indiana.

Donating blood is one of the simplest things a person can do to help save a patient’s life. For the hour it takes to give blood, there could be a whole community of people thankful for another birthday given to their loved one.

Blood and platelet donors of all types are currently needed. Those who come out to donate blood or platelets by May 14 will have a chance to win one of three $1,000 gift card shopping sprees from

GiftCertiďŹ cates.com.

To make an appointment or to learn more, download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) and enter Sponsor Code: Poseyville Community.

Completion of a RapidPass online health history questionnaire found at redcrossblood.org/rapidpass is encouraged to help speed up the donation process. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identiďŹ cation are required at checkin. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Relay committee changing things up

By Valerie Werkmeister The Mount Vernon Relay for Life Committee has planned a few new and exciting activities for their upcoming event. To entice more area youth to be involved with the charitable event, chairperson Shelley Hargrove stated they decided a date change was in order.

Hargrove said they have discussed the idea of a date change for a few years and this year, they decided to put their plan into action. The event will be held on Saturday, May 13, instead of its traditional time of the first Saturday in June. Committee members felt this date might conflict less with graduation parties and vacation plans.

They also changed the venue to the Riverbend Park at the river front in Mount Vernon which will serve as a picturesque backdrop for relay participants.

Other new activities include a car show that begins at 4 p.m. and live music.

The Mount Vernon Bicentennial Committee is sponsoring the live band, Eighty Six, that will perform at 6:30 p.m.

Registration opens at 10:30 a.m. and survivors will enjoy refreshments before the event starts. Luminaria sales will also begin at this time.

All survivors present will have their picture taken at 11:45 a.m.

The event officially starts at noon with opening ceremonies, the presentation of the courage award winner, the survivor/caregiver lap and the opening of the beautiful baby contest and basket tent. This year’s theme is Homecoming.

The remainder of the day’s activities are as follows: 12:15 p.m. – concession stand opens (taco salad) 12:30 p.m. – Cornhole games open 1 p.m. – Human Foosball game opens 2 p.m. – Spaghetti marshmallow tower building in the Activities Tent.

3 p.m. – Water balloon toss, trackless train ride for kids, ice cream served in the concession stand and tent site judging will take place 4 p.m. – Car show opens, concession stand will serve hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hot dogs and brats 5 p.m. – Fire truck rides at Water

and Walnut Streets, Tent site winner announced.

6:30 p.m. – Live music 7 p.m. – Duct tape and newspaper outfit design contest 8 p.m. – Luminaria sales close, Beautiful Baby contest closes 9 p.m. – Luminaria ceremony 9:15 p.m. – Black out/time of remembrance 10 p.m. – Relay mania 10:30 p.m. – Basket tent closes, Zumba 11 p.m. – Deadline for participation tickets to be turned in. Must be present to win.

11:30 p.m. – Pizza served at the concession stand 11:45 p.m. – Closing ceremony Midnight – Event closes.

This year’s goal is $57,000 and Hargove and her co-chair Jessica Wright hope some of the changes they’ve made will encourage many to attend. Currently, they have raised $31,605.96.

“I’m excited with the changes we’ve made and hope the community comes out to support us,” Hargrove said.

Annual clean-up day set for May 12 Clean-up day will be May 12 for residents of the Town of New Harmony. Bulky items such as T.V.’s, washers, dryers, sofas, mattress’s and etc., will be taken at this time.

Due to certain rules and regulations, refrigerators, freezers, and other appliances with refrigerants in them can not be taken without proper certification. To be certified, the appliances must have all refrigerants removed by a qualified technician.

Other items that can not

WMI News Shakespeare’s tragedy, Julius Caesar, will be touring throughout the Midwest this spring, and will be on the lawn of the Working Men’s Institute on Tuesday, May 9, at 6:30 p.m. The production uses an ensemble of only five actors to actively tell the story and bring to life the world that director Eric Mercado has crafted.

This tour season the actors encourage the audience to truly visit the world of Julius Caesar

when they visit the show. Chants, drumming and storm sequences allow for audience members to join in as “citizens of Rome” if they would like to add their voice to the chaos of our mob scenes, secret meetings and eventual battles. Audience participation is never a requirement, though picnickers might find themselves joined by an actor who sits amongst the audience for a better view themselves of the scenes going on as they tell the story of Caesar.

Sermon of the Week: Our Unequaled God - Part 2

By Pastor James Mullins, Turning Point Apostolic Church, Cynthiana Unequaled in wisdom Isaiah 40:12-14 12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his counsellor hath taught him?

14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?

Here we see a series of rhetorical questions that puts God’s preeminence in perspective for us. I can see God saying, “Who else has the ability I do? Go and find someone who can hold the pacific ocean in the palm of their hand. Go and find someone who can make a mountain. Find someone who can create stars and planets. Find someone who has a better plan for creating the universe or the world or the human body. Who else has done what I have done?”

The problem is some people think they have. We find a way to create a test-tube baby and all of a sudden we’re on God’s level. We clone a sheep and now we’re as capable as God. We discover new formulas and invent new technologies; we develop vaccines and cure diseases and somehow that makes us the superior ones.

And therein lies the dangers--we don’t need God, we can do it ourselves. God? what god; I’m god. Oh, how sorry a people we become when we get to the place where we think we are as smart, as wise or as qualified as God. But this doesn’t just happen on a grand scale.

We can be guilty of this type of thinking on a lower scale. How? Whenever we don’t listen to God. Whenever we don’t trust him.

Whenever we go our own way we are putting ourselves in place of God. Whenever we go against what God has commanded we are saying that we know the better way; we know what we really need. Whenever the Holy Spirit reveals what we need to do but we ignore it we are telling God that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Whenever we don’t agree with how God is handling things we conclude that he doesn’t know what he’s doing. “That’s not how I would’ve done it.” That’s pride.

However, if we are humble, we will conclude that no matter how much we gain over the course of our lives, we won’t have anywhere near the understanding, knowl-

edge or wisdom God has. As the psalmist declared in Psalm 147:5, “Great is the Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.” Who’s the one who is unlimited in their understanding--us? Who’s the one who sees everything everywhere--NOT us? Who’s the one who sees tomorrow--NOT us? We understand so little; our perspective is so limited.

God is unequaled in wisdom.

Unequaled in what he can do for us Isaiah 40:25-31 “To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One. Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing. Why do you say, O Jacob, and complain, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the LORD; my cause is disregarded by my God”? Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

Not only is there no equal or comparison to God in what he can do, that also goes for what he can do for us! Since he will never grow tired or weary, he is a never-ending source of strength for us when we become weak and weary. That goes for all kinds of weaknesses; not just physical. Yes, he will give us energy and vitality to physically be able to do great things but the main way he gives us strength and stamina is spiritually.

Think about it...when was the last time you climbed on top of an eagle and went for a ride?

When was the last time you went for a long run and felt just as strong at the end as you did in the beginning? Obviously these are metaphors for what he will enable us to do spiritually. We will be able to do amazing things when God’s power is at work within us. Nothing else comes anywhere close to what God can do for us. Some people are good at motivating us and encouraging us and making us feel good, but no matter how gifted someone is at doing these things it pales in comparison to God’s level of ability to do these things.

In the past we may have turned to things like drugs, alcohol, food or something else to give us a high, but nothing man made can ever come close to duplicating a spiritual high. THERE’S NO PARTY LIKE A HOLY GHOST PARTY. If your hope is in the Lord then he will be the one who will renew your strength when you’re physically, spiritually, psychologically or emotionally depleted.

Without God’s power you will always be weak and weary. Without God you will always stumble and fall. Do you want to soar like an eagle? Then put your hope in the unequaled and unending ability and power of God. In a children’s book titled, “Is a Blue Whale the Biggest Thing There Is?” Robert Wells takes us from a size we can grasp to one we can’t. The largest animal on earth is the blue whale. Just the flippers on its tail are bigger than most animals on earth. But, a blue whale isn’t anywhere near as big as a mountain. If you put one hundred blue whales in a huge jar you could put millions of whale jars inside a hollowed-out Mount Everest, but Mount Everest isn’t anywhere near as big as the earth. If you stacked one hundred Mount Everests on top of one another it would just be a whisker

on the face of the earth, and the earth isn’t anywhere near as big as the sun. You could fit one million earths inside of the sun, but the sun, which is a medium-sized star, isn’t nearly as big as a red supergiant star called Antares.

But, Antares isn’t anywhere near as big as the Milky Way galaxy. Billions of stars, including supergiants like Antares, as well as countless comets and asteroids, make up the Milky Way galaxy, but the Milky Way galaxy isn’t anywhere near as big as the universe. There are billions of other galaxies in the universe, and yet, filled with billions of galaxies, the universe is almost totally empty.

The distances from one galaxy to another are beyond our imagination, and the Creator of this universe is God, who with just a word spoke it all into being, who is present everywhere in this universe and beyond, who upholds it all with his mighty power. Great is our God and greatly to be praised.

Our God is Unequaled in power, Unequaled size, Unequaled wisdom, Unequaled ability and Unequaled greatness; and he cares about you and wants to do great and wondrous things in you and through you. How great is that? It’s unequaled.

North Posey FFA News - Jacob French The National FFA Organization has awarded a $1,000 Archer Daniels Midland Company scholarship to Zach Goebel of North Posey FFA. Zach plans to use the funds to pursue a degree at Purdue University.

ADM sponsored 80 scholarships through a special project of the National FFA Foundation and is providing a $250 grant to the Zach to assist in its continued educational excellence.

This scholarship is one of 1,883 awarded through the National FFA scholarship program this year. Currently, 115 sponsors contribute more than $2.7 million to support the program, which since 1984 has awarded funds to deserving students through the National FFA Foundation. Funds are secured by the foundation from industry, corporations and individuals to reward and encour-

age excellence and enable FFA members to pursue their educational goals.

Scholarship recipients were selected from 8,337 applicants from throughout the U.S. Selections were based on the applicant’s academic record, FFA and other school and community activities, supervised agricultural experiences that students accomplish and future goals.

The National FFA Foundation is the fundraising arm of the National FFA Organization, which provides leadership, personal growth and career success training through agricultural education to 649,355 student members in grades 7 through 12 who belong to one of 7,859 local FFA chapters throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The organization is also supported by 225,891 alumni members in 1,934 alumni chapters throughout the U.S.

Time for brush-up on DNR firewood rule With the arrival of camping season, visitors to DNR properties should brush up on the DNR firewood rule.

The rule helps protect Indiana’s trees from the 140 known pests and pathogens that currently affect forests as well as pests we don’t know about yet. Several pests and pathogens are transported through firewood movement.

Under the rule, visitors to state parks, reservoirs, state forests and state fish & wildlife areas can bring firewood from home—as long as the bark has been removed. Removing the bark minimizes the risk of accidental infestation through firewood movement, because insect larvae live in sapwood under the bark.

Guests may also bring firewood into DNR

properties, if it's: • Kiln-dried scrap lumber.

• Purchased outside the property and bears either a USDA compliance stamp or a state compliance stamp.

• Purchased from the property campstore or on-site firewood vendor and has a state compliance stamp.

Regardless of where visitors get their firewood, they should burn it all at the campsite before they leave.

In short, the firewood rule means: “Buy it with a stamp, bring it debarked, burn it all.”

For more about the rule see firewood.dnr.

IN.gov.

Edward Jones invests in local community Local Edward Jones Financial Advisors donated $10,000 benefiting Youth First Social Work and Program services in Vanderburgh, Warrick and Posey public and private schools. David Anderson and Mike Barker of Newburgh, Jim Back, James Beard, Brittany Dennis, Chris Fleck, Melissa Nicholson, Don Patton, Jr., John Lee Smith, Tyler Vieke, Ben Waits and Jack Young of Evansville, John Ubelhor of Boonville and Steven Harding and Drew Heckert of Mount Vernon combined efforts to meet the growing need for effective mental health and drug prevention services in schools.

"Youth First social workers play a vital role in our

schools," said Jim Back. "The kids in our community have many more distractions and challenges than they did just 10 years ago. We're proud to support Youth First social workers who are removing the barriers to learning."

"We have many community partners," says Parri Black, Youth First President and CEO. "I'm glad the Financial Advisors at Edward Jones recognize the important role that Youth First Social Workers play in our community's schools. We appreciate their donation."

Each year, Youth First hosts its Passport to Adventure auction to help raise critical funds to support its mission—to strengthen youth and families

through evidence-based programs that prevent substance abuse, promote healthy behaviors and maximize student success. The dollars raised from this event are critical to ensure the continuation of Youth First’s free programs and services and to provide the support to youth, families and the community when needed most.

Thompkins Principal Nichole Alcorn states, “I don’t even want to ever think about not having Katie Omohundro at Thompkins or not having Youth First in our building.

Without Youth First we would not be able to reach the lives of the kids at the level that we are. We’d be putting band-aids on our children’s issues.”

Posey County Chief Deputy Tom Latham was busy Saturday morning working at the DEA “Drug Take Back” site. Tom was properly disposing of unwanted and discarded prescription medications, ensuring that these drugs don’t find their way onto our streets and into our neighborhoods. National Drug Take Back Day was launched in September of 2010, giving people a more environmentally responsible and secure way to dispose of their expired and unwanted medications. According to Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth, this initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Prescription drugs that languish in home medicine cabinets are highly susceptible to theft, diversion, misuse, and abuse. As a service to the public, the Posey County Sheriff’s Office offers a free prescription drug collection and disposal service year-round. Call the Sheriff’s Office at 812-838-3541, for more information about this service. Photo submitted

Wilderman receives Chrysler Corporation 100 year of continuous service award

J Wilderman was presented with the Chrysler Corporation 100 year of continous service award on Thursday, April 27. Pictured from l to r are: Kelly Deffendal, General Manager; Jim Wilderman, Owner; Greg Rush, Assistant Sales Operations Manager, FCA Group; and Ramze Hakeem, Local Rep, FCA Group. Photo by Theresa Bratcher

In 1970, Jim Wilderman’s career began as a high school English teacher. He then worked selling cars for various dealers in Mount Carmel. At the time, there were five car dealerships in Mount. Carmel in the early 70’s. In 1974, he was asked by one of the owners to buy Kamp Motors in Mount Carmel. He did, and Wilderman was the operator of that dealership until December of 1985 before purchasing Sunnyside Motors in Mount Carmel, the local Ford Store. He then combined the Chrysler and Ford Lincoln Mercury lines which are still in business today as J. Wilderman Autoplex.

In 1991, he purchased the GM dealership from the Bellessa family who were also in Mount Carmel Ill. In 2005, Jim Wilderman and his current partner Mark Ide then purchased the property in Princeton which is now Patriot Chevrolet, Buick, GMC. Both stores are still in operation.

When Wilderman bought the Chrysler franchise (Kamp Motor Sales started by Mr. Kamp) the name and location had not been changed since its origination in 1917. And since the Chrysler franchise has never left Mount Carmel, Chrysler Corporation

is presenting Wilderman’s dealership, J. Wilderman Autoplex, with a 100 year of continuous service award.

“I’m proud of our longevity and serving the Mount Carmel and surrounding counties. I hope to be here for another 100 years.”

After graduating from PHS in 1966, Wilderman studied journalism and English at Indiana State University.

He intended to enter the newspaper industry, but returned to Mount Carmel to be close to his father, who was in ill health.

Wilderman took a teaching job in Mount Carmel. When it was time to buy a car, he stopped by Princeton Ford, where Tom Sharrett was sales manager.

“Tom told Wilderman, ‘Jimmy Joe, I’m not gonna sell you a car...I’ll give you one if you come to work here to sell cars.

You’ll never go back to teaching.’”

The deal was too good to pass up, said Wilderman, although he continued to teach a while longer.

“I learned a lot from Tom. He had a big heart. He was very good to Princeton and to Gibson County.”

Don’t get scammed - how and when IRS contacts taxpayers Many taxpayers have encountered individuals impersonating IRS officials – in person, over the telephone and via email.

Don’t get scammed. We want you to understand how and when the IRS contacts taxpayers and help you determine whether a contact you may have received is truly from an IRS employee.

The IRS initiates most contacts through regular mail delivered by the United States Postal Service.

However, there are special circumstances in which the IRS will call or come to a home or business, such as when a taxpayer has an overdue tax bill, to secure a delinquent tax return or a delinquent employment tax payment, or to tour a business as part of an audit or during criminal investigations.

Even then, taxpayers will generally first receive several letters (called “notices”) from the IRS in the mail.

Note that the IRS does not: Demand that you use a specific payment method, such as a prepaid debit card, gift card or wire transfer. The IRS will not ask for your debit or credit card numbers over the phone.

Demand that you pay taxes without the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe. Generally, the IRS will first mail you a bill if you owe any taxes. You should also be advised of your rights as a taxpayer.

Threaten to bring in local police, immigration officers or other law-enforcement to have you arrested for not paying. The IRS also cannot revoke your driver’s license, business licenses, or immigration status. Threats like these are common tactics scam artists use to trick victims into buying into their schemes.

If you owe taxes: The IRS instructs taxpayers to make payments to the “United States Treasury.” The IRS provides specific guidelines on how you can make a tax payment at irs.gov/ payments.

Here is what the IRS will do: If an IRS representative visits you, he or she will always provide two forms of official credentials called a pocket commission and a HSPD-12 card. HSPD12 is a government-wide standard for secure and reliable forms of identification for Federal employees and contractors. You have the right to see these credentials.

Collection: IRS collection employees may call or come to a home or business unannounced to collect a tax debt. They will not demand that you make an immediate payment to a source other than the U.S. Treasury.

The IRS can assign certain cases to private debt collectors but only after giving the taxpayer and his or her representative, if one is appointed, written notice. Private collection agencies

will not ask for payment on a prepaid debit card or gift card.

Taxpayers can learn about the IRS payment options on IRS. gov/payments. Payment by check should be payable to the U.S. Treasury and sent directly to the IRS, not the private collection agency.

Audits: IRS employees conducting audits may call taxpayers to set up appointments, but not without having first notified them by mail. After mailing an initial appointment letter, an auditor may call to confirm and discuss items pertaining to the scheduled audit.

Criminal Investigations: IRS criminal investigators may visit a taxpayer’s home or business unannounced while conducting an investigation. However, these are federal law enforcement agents and they will not demand any sort of payment.

Beware of Impersonations: Scams take many shapes and forms, such as phone calls, letters and emails. Many IRS impersonators use threats to intimidate and bully people into paying a fabricated tax bill. They may even threaten to arrest or deport their would-be victim if the victim doesn’t comply.

For a comprehensive listing of recent tax scams and consumer alerts, visit Tax Scams/Consumer Alerts.

Know Who to Contact · Contact the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration to report a phone scam. Use their “IRS Impersonation Scam Reporting” web page. You can also call 800-366-4484. · Report phone scams to the Federal Trade Commission. Use the “FTC Complaint Assistant” on FTC.gov. Please add "IRS Telephone Scam" in the notes. · Report an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, or an IRS-related component like the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System, to the IRS at phishing@irs.gov.

How to know it’s really the IRS calling or knocking on your door: Audits The IRS examines or audits tax returns to verify that what the taxpayer reported is correct. This doesn’t mean that the taxpayer has made an error or been dishonest. In fact, some examinations result in a refund to the taxpayer or acceptance of the return without change.

There are various reasons the IRS may telephone or visit a taxpayer at home during an audit, but at that point the taxpayer would be well aware of the audit.

Audit Contacts:After mailing an initial appointment letter we may call to confirm and discuss items needed for the audit.

An audit may include an interview with the taxpayer or his or her Power of Attorney, if one is appointed, and sometimes include a tour of the taxpayer’s business operation.

Third party contacts – if while examining one taxpayer’s return, we need information from someone else, we will first issue a letter to that third party requesting the information. After that we may contact them by telephone.

tion, and when necessary, appropriate enforcement.

Generally, home or business visits are unannounced because scheduling appointments for such matters would be inconsistent with their proactive and urgent nature. . For example, many urgent and complex cases involve employers’ employment tax withholding requirement.

Revenue officers carry two forms of official identification.

Both forms of Identification have serial numbers – and you can ask to see both.

Revenue Officer Visits: The vast majority of collection cases begin as letters (called “notices”) sent to taxpayers because the case is unresolved. A significant number of these cases are also previously worked by the Automated Collection System – an IRS program that tries to resolve the taxpayer’s account over the phone directly with the taxpayer after a notice sent to the taxpayer was unsuccessful at resolving the situation.

A small portion of the revenue officers’ work involves proactive outreach to employers, called Federal Tax Deposit Alerts, sent at the earliest sign that a business taxpayer is falling behind on payroll tax deposits. These are generally not preceded by a notice.

Washington, DC

By Cathy Powers Once again, area veterans from Southern Indiana will take off in the early dawn on the Spring 2017 Honor Flight. Aboard that plane departing from Evansville Regional Airport will be 5 men from Posey County. They served their country in both WWII and Korea, and, along with a family member serving as Guardian, they will be taken to Washington, DC. Upon arrival, they are treated with all of the honor and privilege that they so richly deserve. They will be taken to various Memorials, and Arlington Cemetery. Every possible need that might arise for any of them has been anticipated and it will be an emotional journey for each man to take. After the unforgettable day, they will return to Evansville around 8:30 to a cheering and capacity crowd at the airport. If anyone is thinking of being there to see their return, I would urge you to arrive early.

There are two flights per year and if anyone knows of a veteran who wants to be included on upcoming trips, please feel free to inquire now ask for more details at hfsipresident@gmail.com.

Here are stories on the Posey County Veterans included in the Spring 2017 flight: Warren Montgomery grew up on Haines Road near Wadesville. Before being drafted in February of 1951, he had worked on farms and as a telephone lineman. He had originally joined the Navy Reserves, but ended up in the Army. He turned 21 in July of 1952 and was first sent to Camp Breckinridge for four months of training, before going to Washington state. Before arriving in Korea, he spent 30 days in Japan. In Korea, he was assigned to Regimental Headquarters.

Warren Montgomery His unit was sent up the front lines whenever there was a breakthrough, and he saw combat in the trenches.

They were also responsible for being guards and the security of the compound.

Montgomery recalls that he had developed a habit of taking his breakfast from the mess hall, and eating in the bunker. One morning, he was very glad that he had done this, because a shell landed in the mess tent minutes after he was there. He also learned that he had very little tolerance for the consumption of alcohol. On Christmas, a round of drinking kept him passed out for three days, and he was again lucky that his Sergeant Major covered for him, counting him as present anyway.

After being eligible to go home in October of 1953, he was offered a fifth stripe to add to his four stripe Sergeant’s rank if he would stay longer, but he chose to go home.

Only one month after his return, he met Margaret, a nurse, who would turn out to be the immediate love of his life. They both say it was love at first sight, and they were married after only five dates. They have been married now for 62 years, and currently live on Stierley Road near Blairsville. They lived for 13 years in California, where Montgomery worked at Rohr Aircraft Naval Station. After his return to Indiana, he worked at Peerless Pottery, Montgomery Excavating, and Parker Construction.

Margaret retired from her nursing career at Deaconess Hospital in 1994.

He and Margaret have three daughters, and one son, Warren Keith, who will be his guardian on the flight. They also have 10 James Eickoff grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. He reportedly is a great nephew of Daniel Boone.

James Eickoff, age 90, was drafted into the Army in 1945, after finishing school. He first went to Camp Gordon in Georgia for Basic Training, where his was the last group to

train there before the bombs were dropped in Japan. Technically, WWII was over, but the Army wanted men to be trained and prepared. He ended up in Italy, classified as a clerk/typist. He was also involved in the military cemetery for American soldiers in Naples, where his wife’s brother, Wilfred Paul, was laid to rest.

It was Eickoff’s job to assist in getting soldiers on their way home, including the 36th Army Division that had been located in North Africa. He was in Italy for a year.

He grew up on the family farm in Saint Phillips.

Through a mutual friend, he met his wife, Mary Ann Paul, and they were married on October 19, 1948. She passed away in August of 2016. They had five children, four boys and a girl. His son, Terry, will be his guardian on the flight.

They have 15 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.

Eickoff worked at Servel after the war, as well as Poseyville Farm Bureau. Before retiring, he spent 33 years at Whirlpool. He has lived on Saint Wendel Road since 1963.

Andrew Wildemann, age 85, was in the Army from January of 1952 until December of 1953. After being drafted, he was sent to Fort Riley, Kansas, for training.

He spent his time of service in Bordeaux, France.

Part of his duties included winterizing the barracks.

He remembers playing in softball tournaments.

After returning from the service, he worked in sales at the American Standard Warehouse, was a contractor with HG Newman Plumbing, and retired Andrew Wildemann from Deig Brothers.

He graduated from Memorial High School in 1949. Wildeman was born and raised in the Saint Phillips area, where he still lives with his wife, Mary. They were married in April, 1954. When he worked at the Edgewood Dairy, he went to eat at the soda fountain in nearby Francis Pharmacy, where she had a job.

Their daughter, Rhonda Schenk, will be his guardian on the flight. They have another daughter, Renee, and had a son Rodney, who is deceased. They have five grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

In retirement, Andrew and Mary have enjoyed traveling, going to Hawaii, Alaska, and Mexico.

Charles Huck, age 84, is a well-known resident of New Harmony, where he lives with his wife, Sally. He graduated from New Harmony School in 1950, and enlisted in the Navy on January 3, 1951. He decided that the Navy was best for him, because being left handed in the Army might affect his ability to shoot. He had a scholarship from Farm Bureau to go to Purdue, but ended up going to the Great Lakes Training Station with his buddy, Jerry Joest.

He spent two years, serving aboard the carrier, USS Tarewa. As part of the 6th Fleet he went to the Mediterranean twice. His duties included loading bombs and taking care of the planes. The carrier was 887 and one-half

feet long and had 4,000 people on board. Huck had gone to aviation ordinance school in Jacksonville Florida. He remembers the party atmosphere when they crossed the equator, and going to casinos in Luxembourg. When his unit was in Istanbul, they were only 100 miles from the Russian border.

On board the carrier, there were three huge plane elevators, and the planes were moved with little Ford tractors. Huck recalls one time that the timing was off, and one of the tractors plunged Charles Huck down the elevator shaft, killing the driver.

Charles and Sally were married on November 15, 1953 in New Harmony.

They have three sons and a daughter, as well as eight grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. Their daughter, Vickie Harris, will be his guardian on the flight. In 1989, Huck started reunions for the men he served with, and since that time, they have gathered in several American cities, from Washington DC to San Deigo.

Their son, Dirk, was on duty in the Pentagon on 9/11, but thankfully in an area away from where the plane hit the building.

James Bender, age 85, is a member of a long time farming family in the Cynthiana area. At age 21, he was drafted into the Army. He spent eight weeks of basic training at Fort Bliss Texas. After a furlough home, he shipped to Korea out of California.

He also spent time in Japan before arriving in Korea.

He was sent to Inchon, and was stationed there to protect the fuel depot. For three months, he was trained for anti-aircraft. When the truce came, he was sent to an island, 100 miles north James Bender of the 38th Parallel in the Yellow Sea. They were there to protect an air force landing strip from enemy planes.

He was shipped back to Seattle, and took a train to Milwaukee to be processed out. He went to Chicago and then home.

He and his wife Rosalind have lived just north of Cynthiana since 1964. They have eight children, 24 grandchildren, and one great grandchild.

Thanks to all of these men and the others who will be on this Spring’s Honor Flight.

Have a wonderful and memorable day.

Higgins inducted into Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society Andrew Higgins of Mount Vernon, Indiana, was recently initiated into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation's oldest and most selective all-discipline collegiate honor society. Higgins was initiated at Murray State University.

Higgins is among approximately 30,000 students, faculty, professional sta and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year. Membership is by invitation only and requires nomination and approval by a chapter. Only the top 10 percent of seniors and 7.5 percent of juniors are eligible for membership. Graduate students in the top 10 percent of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional sta and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction.

Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897 under the leadership of Marcus L. Urann who had a desire to create a dierent kind of honor society: one that recognized excellence in all academic disciplines. Today, the Society has chapters on more than 300 campuses in the United States and the Philippines. Its mission is "To recognize and promote academic excellence in all ďŹ elds of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others."

Huff recieves Future Educator Award Michelle Hu was one of three University of Evansville students recently recognized by UE’s School of Education with the Indiana Association of Colleges for Teacher Education Outstanding Future Educators Award. She and other students from across Indiana were recognized at a ceremony in Indianapolis, Indiana.

‘School board’ continued from Page A1 School Superintendent Dr. Tom Kopatich.

Board Member Mark Isaac emphatically agreed stating, “It is good to be proactive, not reactive, with this project.”

The meeting opened with a public hearing on the proposed lease between the Mount Vernon of Posey County Multi-School Building Corporation and the school district.

No public comments were made, so another hearing was conducted on the additional appropriations required for the project. Rich Warner and Steve Thoman of Performance Services and Jane Herndon of the Ice Miller law firm arranging the lease agreement were on hand to answer questions at both hearings, but none were asked. Kopatich said his office received no comment or questions after the hearings were advertised in the paper.

The board proceeded to adopt several resolutions pertaining to the Guaranteed Energy Savings. The first resolution determined a need for the lease project, the second adopted the resolution authorizing execution of the lease agreement, and a third adopted the additional appropriation resolution putting the eighteen million into a Construction Fund.

A fourth resolution assigned construction

bids to the Building Corporation as it will hold the money to pay those contractors, a fifth resolution approved Master Continuing Disclosure Undertaking which requires filling out all necessary financial documents, in compliance with the Security and Exchange Commission, the final resolution approved Post-Issuance Compliance procedures and appointed Director of Business Loren Evans as Compliance Officer to monitor compliance with the Internal Revenue Service Code The Building Corporation signed the least agreement earlier that same day, after meeting with Herndon to answer questions they had. School districts, by law, cannot borrow money, so ta building corporation acts as the borrower and holds the liens for the bonds until they are paid off with tax levies. The district will sell a portion of the Mount Vernon High School building to be renovated and to the building corporation to be used as lease premises.

The project with Performance Services to update all six school buildings with new air and heating units, LED lighting, repair roofs and other updates to make them maintenance sound for the next twenty five years, while

seeing energy savings. The bonds could be issued for up to an 18 year payoff.

In other board action: • accepted the intention to retire from Connie Upshaw, a first grade teacher at Farmersville Elementary School, effective at the end of the school year.

• confirmed the employment of Amanda Dobleman to replace Teresa Crissup and Kristi Stauber to replace Lindsay Kincheloe as teacher assistants in Remediation at West Elementary School.

• accepted the resignations from Kelly Cox as head coach for girls’ soccer at the high school effective immediately; Amanda Dobleman as a teacher assistant at the high school effective April 4, 2017; and Madison Rasche as a teacher at the junior high school effective at the end of the school year.

• adopted a resolution permitting Carol Stratton to attend the IASBO Region 9 meeting and Alicia Schmidt to travel with a student to attend the World Food Prize Competition at Purdue.

• Six staff members were given permission to travel with the Senior Class to Holiday World on May 19.

• authorized the submission of an applica-

tion for the continuation of the Title I Program and submission of an application for the continuation of the High Ability Program for the 2017-18 school year.

• granted permission to offer a summer reading remediation program for all third graders not passing the IREAD 3 test this past spring. Kopatich said that one hundred percent of the district’s general education population passed. Five special education students did not.

• The board recognized the achievement of the Mount Vernon Junior High School U6 and U8 chess teams that competed recently in the state finals in Hammond, Indiana. Out of the 44 state qualifying teams, the U6 Team place second and the U8 Team placed fifth.

High school winter sports achievements were also recognized: Academic All-State, and Big 8 All-Conference winners.

• Informational items to the board included the Self-Insurance Fund Report and the Farmersville Falcon News. Evans said the insurance fund had a “normal” month and the clinic was holding its own.

• The next meeting is set for Monday, May 1 at 5:45 p.m. at the Mount Vernon Jr. High School library.

‘Flooding’ continued from Page A1 and venues for their prom after the Titans also canceled their prom this weekend.

According to information on the North Posey High School Facebook Page, the decision to postpone the prom was not an easy decision for administration but due to recent road closures and increased flooding, North Posey High School has decided to postpone the prom. The North Posey Junior High School also cancelled the play scheduled for Saturday night. “Please know this decision was not an easy decision,” the site reasoned. “We have to put the safety of the students first.”

Mount Vernon resident Cidney Wilson gauged 7.9 inches of rain on Friday night and Posey County farmer Sheryl Seib reported 8.39 inches in her home rain gauge in northern Poseyville as of Saturday morning.

Northern New Harmony resident Jamie Hyatt reported that 11 inches of rain had fallen at their home since Friday. She indicated that 8.5 inches had fallen on Friday night into Saturday morning and that another two-and-a-half inches of rain had fallen between Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon.

Another Posey County farmer, Frank Schmitt, reported that since 6:15 Friday morning, he had dumped 6.25 inches out of the gauge at his home. By Sunday, the total rainfall had risen to a total of 8.75 inches and it was still raining.

Posey County surveyor Adam M. Bigge reported that seven inches of rain had fallen in the St. Philip area. Bigge allowed the Posey County News to use images of Wolf ditch at overflow near Little Creek.

Another Posey County resident, Debbie East, emptied rain gauge again Sunday afternoon, disposing of yet another half-inch

Another Mount Vernon resident, Denny Hargett, reported that a total of nine inches of rain had fallen at his home over the weekend.

Posey County Chief Deputy Sheriff Tom Latham, when reached on Sunday afternoon, indicated there were still many roads closed in the county. A list of the roads remaining closed in Posey County late Sunday afternoon was posted on the Posey County Sheriff’s Department Facebook page.

At around 5 p.m. Sunday afternoon, the list included: Haines Road, Huey Road, Springfield Road between SR 69 and Re-

cord Road, Blake Road, John Will Road, Oliver Springfield Road between Oliver Road and Springfield Road, Schmitt Road between Winery Road and Blake Road, Mulkey Road at SR165, SR165 at Seibert Road, Shotgun Lane at Gibson Co Line Road, Crab Orchard Rd at Lower New Harmony Road, Raben Rd at SR62, Mackey Ferry Road and Bald Knob Road, Zoar Church Road at SR69 South, Graddy Road at Raben Road, Raben Road at Bonebank Road, Bonebank Road at Conlin Road, Raben Road at Ranes Road, Crab Orchard Road at Copperline, Upper Mount Vernon Road to Ford Road, Esche Road, Gun Club Road and Nation Road, Gun Club Road to

SR62 North, Oliver Road and Blackburn Road, Lower New Harmony Road and Curtis Road, and at Big Creek in Savah.

The National Weather Service indicated on Sunday evening that Posey County was likely facing one more line of showers before the rain would cease for the time being.

In an interview with Latham, he indicated that for the most part, county residents had been compliant with laws regarding nontravel of roadways that were covered with water.

“There have been a few people who have been non-compliant,” Latham said. “However, there have not been significant issues.

I think everyone recognizes the severity of the flooding. The biggest danger is the fact that you can’t see under the water to make sure the roadway is still there.”

Latham said he could not remember a time when there has been so much rainfall in such a short amount of time in many, many years.

“I can tell you that in the time I have been around this area, going back as far as when the new bridge was put in on highway 66 over Big Creek, I can never remember the water going over Highway 66. Then the amount of rain we had in that short period, especially in the northern part of the county, never have I seen it this high.”

Latham said a fact that is not commonly known is that most automobile insurers do not cover incidents which are caused by a driver who makes a decision to proceed past “High Water” signs or road closures.

Likewise, drivers can face fines for failure to obey the road signs.

He indicated that the southern end of the county has faced flooding at times, especially in the spring, but this was uncharted waters for the northern end of the county.

‘Golf cart’ continued from Page A1 at its April 18 meeting.

Council President Alvin Blaylock explained that Carts Gone Wild brought both electric and gas carts to town a few weeks ago to assess their performance going up the steep water tank hill with town employees. “Both were satisfactory to them. The electric did a little better, so the employees preferred that one, and that’s what we recommend for purchase.”

Councilman David Flanders asked if this was what the marshal wanted? Flanders proposed purchasing a BMX bicycle for less than $600. “This should be sufficient for patrolling streets and trails,” he suggested. He was informed the town already has a bicycle for that purpose.

Blaylock said, “Something like this is handier at festivals maneuvering through large crowds. We have used one in the past and it is the smart thing to do. We have one now in the police department, but it is non-operable and can be used as a trade-in on a new one.”

Flanders asked if other bids were solicited and was told no. He wondered if a bicycle could achieve the same results? Councilman Gary Watson answered, “How can you haul people on a bicycle? We used to use golf carts all the time when I was marshal. Actually, the town

didn’t own any and we used Red Geranium’s carts a lot and it was very handy. At night riding around town, you can see a lot on a golf cart that you can’t see in car.”

Flanders snipped back, “but I hardly see him patrol at all anyway.” Watson countered, “he’s around. Everybody else in town sees him.”

A motion to take the two purchases together resulted in a request from Flanders to separate them. Watson asked the town attorney, “Do we have to do that?” She said yes, since it was requested.

The town employee cart with aluminum dump bed vote passed 5-0, but the police golf cart passed 4-1, with Flanders voting nay.

In the Open Forum section of the agenda, resident Sue Krozel reminded the council members of the dire need the town has to try to work on the flood zone designation that affects property owners and insurance costs. “I commend you to keep looking into this, don’t table discussion for too long.” Blaylock thanked her for her input.

New Harmony Gazette Publisher Dan Barton asked several questions on phosphorus removal in sewage water. “Why do we have this problem? Where is it coming from?” he queried. Blaylock explained that it was a natural byproduct in all waste

systems, and federal mandates have been required to lower its levels before discharging treated water back into the watershed.

“Do all local systems have to do this?” Barton asked. Blaylock said yes, that Evansville and Mount Vernon have to do it, too. “We were one of the first because our permit renewal came up first. We just put in a new system with additives that removes phosphorus.

In fact, it’s coming on line as we speak,” he said.

Lora Arnenberg gave an update on engineering studies on the Wabash River Bridge. She reported that about a month ago, a drone was used to take data points. Hands-on work is scheduled in a few weeks, with a final report on engineering results to be ready by June 15.

In other council action: • A public hearing was held for an additional appropriation and transfer to the Community Crossings Grant fund. The transfer to the grant fund will be used to pay the contractor for street paving $24,129.99. There were no questions or comments and the hearing was closed.

• Resolution 2017-2 passed transferring in matching money for street paving of $14,535.01 from the motor vehicle highway fund. Resolution 2017-3 transfers

$5,000 in matching money from the Local Road and Street fund.

Resolution 2017-4 transferred in the $24,129,99 from the Local Option Income Tax Fund (LOIT).

The INDOT Community Crossings Grant requires a 50/50 match with the town.

• An application was approved for the Golden Raintree Antique Show slated for June 10-ll. A request to close Main Street from Church to Steam Mill Street was granted. Blaylock said over fifty dealers are expected and insurance certificates are intact.

• A Peace Run and Harmony Half 5K was approved, even though it was called to Blaylock’s attention that it is scheduled for May 19 of next year, 2018. It will start at Main Street, go to Harmonie State Park, and return to town. It was requested thirteen months early so police could be lined up to assist, especially with part of it on a state highway. Insurance is intact.

• PC Pound Puppies Spring Craft Show/Car Cruise on April 29 from 9-4 p.m. at the Ribeyre Gym was approved. Tavern Street will be closed from Main to West for approximately fifty cars in the show to be on display.

• In department reports, Councilman Flanders said he attended the March 21 meeting of the Posey

County Solid Waste Board and interestingly learned that it had a cash flow problem. The district borrowed $75,000 from the county to cover expenses until the tax revenue comes in. He is planning a special meeting with Solid Waste Director Patricia Colbert to plan a special day to collect hazardous materials in New Harmony for proper disposal. He also reported there is new signage on Interstate 64, at Exit 4, both eastbound and westbound, identifying the exit as the one for the New Harmony Historic Landmark District. President Blaylock reported that the fire department’s overhead door spring broke and it is repaired. Yearly mowings in Maple Hill Cemetery have started and grading work is being done in the parking lot to get it to drain properly.

• Blaylock announced that May 12 will be the town’s Heavy Trash Pickup Day. Refrigerators will need to have coolant removed, and they will take things like wood, concrete, and furniture. Tires, used oil, and chemicals are not allowed.

• Articles on assessing New Harmony needs and wants were tabled for later discussion.

• Approved minutes of Executive Sessions of March 20 and April 13 and the regular meeting of March 21.

Fundamentally Gutting The Military

T

O L ...

In 2008, Barack Obama made the claim he would “FundamentalB G A ly Transform America.�

I said the country’s in trouble when he made that claim, yet I was laughed at. It would appear my revelation wasn’t all that misguided after all.

Few knew what he was talking about when Mr. Obama made that claim. But like most things that are cloaked in deception the light of truth eventually shines through.

During Barack Obama’s eight year reign as president the nature of his ideology was indeed revealed. He repeatedly apologized to the world for what he thought was America’s indiscretions. He did little if anything to bolster the economy and he was most assuredly a bystander in foreign-policy. It was obvious he never thought America was the answer, just a problem.

A majority of Americans thought they were doing the right thing when they elected the ďŹ rst African-American president, twice. Yet, in reality, they elected a socialist who didn’t see America as exceptional at all.

I’m convinced Barack Obama was clever and deceptive in his actions. The corruption within his administration is being revealed even after he’s left oďŹƒce.

Many questioned that Barack Obama’s ideology was patriotic at all. To get some insight into Mr. Obama’s thoughts one only needs to look at the shambles he left the military in.

MAY 2, 2017

I served in the Air Force as a civil engineer and I’m quite proud of that. Once in a while I don an Air Force hat in public and often people take notice and thank me. I’ve had small children relate their gratitude for my military service as well as adult men and women. Many in my family served in the military and I’m not ashamed to say I’m a veteran.

Recently, a 90-year-old Army veteran of the Korean War thanked me for my service. He told me he’d lost most of his hearing during an artillery barrage in that campaign. He told me he lost a lot of friends during that war and was quite emotional about it. Before I ďŹ nished my conversation with that gentleman I said: “I should be thanking you.â€? His reply was: “No, son, thank you!â€? His lack of selďŹ shness stirred me.

Veterans serve to protect us all and we should all be grateful for that, but many in society fail to recognize the deďŹ nition of that distinction.

During the presidential campaign, Donald Trump said: “I will bomb the s***out of Isis!� Recently he did just that with the bombing of an airstrip in Syria and a tunnel system in Afghanistan.

On the other hand, it’s come to fruition that Barack Obama set forth to fundamentally transform America, or should I say “Fundamentally gut the military.�

Years of budget cuts have taken an undeniable toll on the United States military. The U.S. Air Force is short 4,000 airmen to maintain its eet, short 700 pilots to y them and short vital spare parts necessary to keep their jets in the air. The shortage is so dire that some have even been forced to scrounge for parts in

a remote desert scrapheap known as “The Boneyard.�

In 1991, the Air Force had 134 ďŹ ghter squadrons; today, it only has 55.

Across-the-board budget cuts known as sequestration has forced the Air Force to ďŹ re people, meaning those who stayed had to work extra shifts. Instead of ying, pilots have to do more administrative jobs once taken care of by civilians who were let go.

The Air Force and Marine Corps have even cannibalized museum aircraft to ďŹ nd the parts they need to get planes back into combat.

Nearly 70% of Marine aircraft are lacking the parts they need to be operational. More than 60% of Navy strike ďŹ ghters are out of service. With some of the oldest ďŹ ghter jets in service, Marine ďŹ gures are even worse: 74% of Marine F-18s are not even ready for combat.

The U.S. Army has also suered. The number of soldiers on active duty has been reduced to its lowest level since 1940, according to a recent report.

One need ponder at the reection of American military might and wonder if there are any more superpowers that remain in the world.

Guest Opinion: Brian Depew, Center for Rural Affairs The president, rural voters and our future In last fall’s election, enough rural voters switched party allegiance to account for Trump’s victory in several key Midwest and Rust Belt states.

Frustration over the economic plight facing their communities drove many of these voters.

Modern day Great Plains was built by settlers seeking economic and political independence. The region is built on widespread opportunity and the notion that hard work and dedication are all you need to get ahead.

A farm crisis in the 1980s eroded economic opportunity for many families. Free trade agreements of the 1990s undercut the region’s manufacturing sector. Parents began to fear their children would not be better o than they had been.

Against this backdrop, it’s little wonder rural voters went looking for a dierent path. We’re yet to know what results our collective choice will deliver. What is undisputed is that we need a new path forward.

A 2013 poll conducted by the Center for Rural Aairs found that rural voters were skeptical of government. Many think it doesn’t work for them. Designing a political system that addresses economic concerns of small town and rural people is key.

When government works for rural people, we know that rural voters are poised to embrace practical policies to create genuine opportunity.

In the coming months, the Center will put forward policy proposals for congressional consideration. Our proposals will be designed to be included in a tax reform bill and in the upcoming farm bill renewal.

These will be proposals that can attract support from across the political spectrum, are responsive to the expressed opinions of rural voters and are designed to create economic and community vibrancy in small town and rural America.

I invite you to join us in creating a government that works for rural people now and for our future.

We have 19 million acres of farms, forests and woodlands, and Indiana’s 57,500 farming operations grow, produce and process some of the highest-quality products around the world. In 2014, the General Assembly approved the Indiana Grown program to encourage Hoosiers to buy locally grown products.

Indiana Grown is a branding program helping Hoosier farmers and producers promote their products by encouraging consumers to buy local. After a business becomes a member, the Indiana Grown logo is placed on their products, which helps consumers more easily identify and purchase their goods.

This program keeps jobs and ďŹ nancial growth in the community by supporting Hoosier businesses in our state. It also supports job creation, building sustainable communities and preserving Indiana’s agricultural heritage. It is important to remember that when an Indiana Grown product is bought, no matter where from, it helps local farmers and producers succeed as well as the Indiana economy.

Guest Column: John LaForge Wherever it rains in the United States Commercial media recollections of the 1986 Chernobyl catastrophe almost always minimize its global impact. A New York Times editorial last December described the April 26 explosions and ďŹ res as “a volcano of deadly radioactivity that reached Poland and Scandinavia.â€? This picture is both factually true and grossly understated - because Chernobyl’s carcinogenic fallout went far beyond northern Europe and all around the world - a fact that is easy to verify.

For example, the UN ScientiďŹ c Committee on the Eects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) concluded in 2011 that the disaster “Resulted in radioactive material becoming widely dispersed and deposited ‌ throughout the northern hemisphere.â€? Then, hammering the lesson home like a drill sergeant, UNSCEAR’s report (“Health eects due to radiation from the Chernobyl accidentâ€?) repeats the phrase “throughout the northern hemisphereâ€? at least ďŹ ve times.

Chernobyl’s hemispheric contamination was well known long before the UNSCEAR review, noted in hundreds of books, journals and scientiďŹ c papers. The March 30, 2005 Oxford Journals reported, “The releases of radioactive materials were such that contamination of the ground was found to some extent in every country in the Northern Hemisphere.â€? An Environmental History of the World (2002) by Donald Hughes says, “There were measurable amounts throughout the Northern Hemisphere.â€?

Yet trivialization is the mainstream media rule, especially after three simultaneous reactor melt-downs at Fukushima-Daiichi have contaminated the whole of the PaciďŹ c Ocean.

On April 23, Abu Dhabi’s “The Nationalâ€? said about Chernobyl: “Half a million ‘liquidators,’ mostly military reservists from all over the Soviet Union, tried to clean up the aected area.â€?

This is atly untrue, because no one decontaminated the entire Northern hemisphere. Soviet conscripts worked only the region knows as the “exclusion zoneâ€? around Chernobyl reactor No. 4 in Pripyat, Ukraine.

Understatements rewrite history, deceptively misinform Understatements were the rule in the 1990s.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, on April 27, 1998, described “a deadly cloud of radiation across large sections of Russia and Europe.â€? Âś The Appleton, Wisc. Post Crescent, April 26, 1998, said, “Ukraine and parts of Russia were hard hit.â€? Âś The New York Times, on April 23, 1998, depicted the disaster as “a poisonous radioactive cloud north of Kiev.â€? Âś The Los Angeles Times, on April 27, 1995, limited the fallout to “a radioactive cloud across Ukraine, Russia and parts of Europe.â€? Âś A June 1, 1998, Associated Press story restricted the “deadly cloud of radiationâ€? to “large sections of Russia and Europe.â€?

The website GlobalVoices.org reported this April 19: “Chernobyl‌ caused radioactive material to be spewed into the atmosphere, exposing hundreds of thousands -- if not millions -- of people in Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, and elsewhere in Eastern Europe to extremely high doses of radiation.â€? In fact, half of Chernobyl’s

total fallout was spewed far beyond the three hardest-hit states, going to every corner of the hemisphere.

Of course ignoring the fact that reactor disasters have poisoned the whole earth misinforms the public, but why?

One reason is that downplaying the severity of Chernobyl - and Fukushima-Daiichi as well - sugar-coats the threat posed today and every day by operating power reactors beyond their original time-limited licenses, or near earthquake faults, volcanic regions, or tsunami zones. The hidden agenda behind the proďŹ tdriven media’s deliberate belittling of reactor accidents - and the dangers of radiation - is to protect signiďŹ cant advertising revenue. Big utilities, big pharma, big mining, big universities, and big weapons labs makes billions of dollars from increasing the “backgroundâ€? level of radiation. OďŹƒcial background exposure was 170 millirems per-year for decades; 18 months after Chernobyl it doubled to 360 mR/yr; and it nearly doubled again a few years ago to 620 mR/yr.) “Nuclearistsâ€? intend to keep it this way, even if it means buying pricey ads claiming that reactors are safe and “smallâ€? radiation doses are harmless.

Chernobyl Doused the Whole Hemisphere Early on in Chernobyl reporting, it was common for the Associated Press and others to broadcast its global impact using plain language. On May 14, 1986, AP noted, “An invisible cloud of radioactivity‌ has worked its way gradually around the world.â€? On Oct. 9, 1988, it said atly, “Chernobyl ‌ spewed radiation worldwide.â€? And it reported in the Duluth Herald, May 15, 1986: “Airborne radioactivity from the Chernobyl nuclear accident is now so widespread that it is likely to fall to the ground wherever it rains in the United States, the EPA said.â€? This warning should never stop being abbergasting, and should have been the death knell for nuclear power.

The Duluth News-Tribune & Herald reported May 22, 1986: “For the second time since the [Chernobyl disaster] last month, a slightly elevated level of radioactive iodine has been found in a Minnesota milk sample, state health oďŹƒcials said.â€? Western oďŹƒcials were precautionary. The AP reported May 15, 1986 that “State authorities in Oregon have warned residents dependent solely on rainwater for drinking that they should arrange other supplies for the time being.â€?

In his 2002 book An Environmental History of the World, Donald Hughes notes, “For example, an increase of [radiation in rainwater] recorded on May 12 in Washington State was more than 140 times the background level measured immediately before the Chernobyl cloud reached the USA.â€? Today, remember to read corporate minimization of Chernobyl’s eects with a radioactive grain of salt.

Lady Vikings pull out win over Heritage Hills

By Dave Pearce The North Posey Vikings got to do something that a lot of other area teams did not get to do this week … they got two games in.

The Vikings pulled out an exciting Pocket Athletic Conference win over Heritage Hills on Monday evening.

The Vikings got a run in the first inning and another in the second before surrendering three runs in the top of the third inning.

The Lady Vikings fought back to tie the score with a run in the bottom of the fourth inning and then sealed the deal with a run in the bottom of the sixth.

Mallory Lowe, Hannah Ogg and Kaitlyn Blankenberger each had a pair of hits in the contest as the Vikings outhit the Patriots 9-7. Freshman Ryle Farr scored two of the four Viking runs, reaching base twice on walks.

Pitcher Evelyn Mauer helped her own cause with a single while Kim Kissel had a hit and scored a run for the Vikings. Elise Lewis also came up big with an RBI single for the Lady Vikings.

Mauer pitched four innings giving up only one walk while the Vikings accepted four passes. Mauer struck out one. Atkins and Mauer each reached base on a walk besides Farr’s pair of walks. Ogg picked up the win in relief, North Posey Freshman Megan Brenton throws the ball going three innings with three strikeduring a game against Heritage Hills Monday evening. outs and no walks.

On Wednesday, the Vikings hosted a much-improved South Knox squad that came into the game sporting an impressive 8-3 record.

But the Vikings seem to have found their offense as they had 10 runs on 14

hits and drew a pair of walks.

While freshman Megan Brenton, a hard-throwing left-hander was on the mound for the Vikings, it would be senior Hannah Ogg who would help the Viking cause by going 3-for-4 on the

NP posts personal bests Special to the News The North Posey track teams were in action twice this week, at Forest Park and then at Princeton.

Although the North Posey Lady Viking tracksters were unable to compile many points at the Forest Park Girls’ Invitational Track Meet Tuesday, there were many excellent performances and personal bests recorded.

“I was happy with the effort of the girls,” said first-year head coach Jessica Smith. “We traveled very far on a school night and came through with some fine performances,” she added.

Scores posted were: Boonville 142, Mount Vernon 114, Washington 75.5, Tell City 70, Forest Park 69, Corydon 63.5, Northeast DuBois 55, and North Posey 35 Scoring for the Vikings were Elise O’Risky with a seventh place finish in the 100 and a sixth in the 200. Lindsey Koester had a big night with a seventh place finish in the 800 and a fourth in the 1600 meter run. Emma Goebel chipped in with a seventh place finish in the 3200 while Madi Cates added a third in the 100 meter hurdles. Isabel Glaser just narrowly missed scoring in the 300 hurdles with a ninth-place finish and Danielle Perry recorded a fifth place in the high jump.

In the long jump, Hannah Voegel led the way with a seventh place leap. For the first time all season, all three relay teams scored with the 3200 relay team getting things started. Emma Goebel, Jasmine French, Jade Hatcher, and Danielle Perry each ran an 800 to pick up seventh place. The 1600 relay team of O’Risky, Kaitlin Wright, Sam Little, and Lindsey Koester also finished seventh while the 400-relay team picked up fourth place ribbons. The team of Voegel, O’Risky, Little, and Cates each running 100 meters.

The NPHS boys’ team finished fourth in the Princeton Invitational against a very competitive field on Wednesday, April 26.

“For the first time that I can remember, we placed all of our runners in the events that had trials in the finals,” said Head Coach Mike Kuhn.

Scores posted were: Jasper 135, Princeton Community 114, Mt. Vernon 88, North Posey 58, Boonville 36, Pike Central 33.5 Vincennes 19.5, Washington 10, Wood Memorial 1, and Tecumseh 1.

Vikings play one of six scheduled games

Weather is the winner this week

By Dave Pearce Another rainy week shortened the weekly baseball schedule for the Diamond Vikings. Five games were postponed because of bad weather this week. The Vikings managed to play one game and that was on Tuesday against neighbor and PAC foe Gibson Southern.

The Vikings’ Corey Heath and the Titans Dimitri Dewig locked up in a pitching duel for most of the game. The Titan’s Dawson Witte scored first on a base hit by

Cale Colbert in the fourth inning, after he reached second base on a hit and error by the Viking defense. Later, in the sixth inning, Heath started to falter and allowed the Titans to get the bases loaded.

The Vikings went to the bullpen and brought in Wes Voegel to try and shut down the Titan’s momentum. But the Titan’s weren’t willing to be denied as they put up five more runs before the dust had settled.

The Vikings, on the other side,

could not get on track against the curveball/fastball combinations that Dewig was throwing for most of the night. The Vikings ended up with four hits but couldn’t get the timely hits that would have pushed some runs across. The final score was a Gibson Southern 6-0 win.

On Friday, the Vikings traveled to Mount Carmel to try and get in a game before the monsoons came.

They almost accomplished their goal. The Vikings and Aces were in the top of the fourth inning with

Nolan Alvey pitches for the North Posey reserve baseball team recently. Photo by Dave Pearce two outs before the umpires called the game for lightning, which was one out short of being an official game. The Vikings were down at the time 12-5. Hopefully, all of these games can be made up in the near future.

Today, the Vikings will travel to Wood Memorial for a Varsity/

JV doubleheader. On Wednesday, the JV will play Evansville North at 4:30 and the Varsity will take on Evansville Central in a night cap 6:30 game. This game will be broadcast on 98.5 FM, 1400 AM or online @ weoa985fm.com. On Thursday the Varsity will host the Princeton Tigers.

Vikings fall to Mater Dei but top Tecumseh at home court

By Conner Voegel Chris Evert once said, “If you can react the same way to winning and losing, that’s a big accomplishment. That quality is important because it stays with you the rest of your life, and there’s going to be a life after tennis that’s a lot longer than your tennis life.” This quote by Evert speaks of the mentality that tennis players must have.

To truly be a great tennis player, one must be able to not drop their heads in times of loss, but fight through times in which a challenge is given. In tennis, you should never give up, because no matter if you are down 0-5 in the second set, there is always a chance. Players must look past times in which they are losing and be able to fight through it.

The Vikings started off the week at Mater Dei. The Wildcats, having a good team, ended up defeating the Vikings 4-1. However, the Vikings all put up good fights.

At one singles, Amanda Marshall was defeated 6-1, 6-0, two singles, Baylee Willman was defeated 6-0,

6-0, and three singles, Annie Goetz was defeated 6-0.

6-1. One doubles, Kamryn Brandenstein and Kennady Livers were defeated 6-3, 6-1, but two doubles, Kendra Schorr and Roni Inkenbrandt won in three sets: 6-7, 6-3, 6-1.

The Junior Varsity went 5-4 on the night.

Next, the Lady Vikings traveled to Southridge.

Marshall ended up being

victorious in three sets: 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, at two singles, Willman was defeated 7-6, 6-1 and at three singles, Annie Goetz was defeated 6-3, 6-1. At doubles, Brandenstein and Livers were defeated 6-4, 7-5, but Schorr and Inkenbrandt won 6-2, 6-2. While the Varsity went 2-3 on the night, the Junior Varsity went 1-5 on the night.

Finally, the Vikings came

home and faced off against Tecumseh. The Vikings were hoping to play fast and get done before the rain hit, and they did just that. Marshall won 6-0, 6-0, Willman won 6-2, 6-1, and Goetz won 6-1, 6-2. Brandenstein and Livers won 6-1, 6-3 and Schorr and Inkenbrandt won 6-2, 6-0. The Vikings were undefeated as a team, Varsity went 5-0 and Junior Varsity went 2-0.

As the season continues, so does the fun. It is obvious that the Lady Vikings, while competitive with other teams and even each other, love to make memories with each other and make the most of the great game.

The Lady Vikings have three matches this upcoming week. The Vikings were scheduled to start off on Monday at Heritage Hills.

Next, on Wednesday, the

Vikings will play at Forest Park at 4:30 p.m. Finally, on Thursday the Vikings will play at pre-season conference favorite Gibson Southern 4:30 p.m.
