Long-time teacher, coach Paul Maier surprisingly resigns

By Lois Mittino Gray In somewhat of a surprise move, long-time Mount Vernon science teacher and football coach Paul Maier’s resignation was accepted by the board at the June 4 Mount Vernon School Board meeting. On Tuesday, following the resignation, Indiana Department of Education spokesperson, Adam Baker, confirmed that, “Yes, we have filed a complaint seeking revocation of the teaching license.”

Once notification of the investigation and impending revocation was confirmed, Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers was contacted to see if he was aware of the investigation. “I am aware of the investigation and results of the local investigation have been made available to me,” Clowers said. “I cannot comment further on an active investigation.”

In other matters: Are you interested in a good used Apple iPad for the kids? Mem-

By Lois Mittino Gray Mount Vernon Common Council members discussed the need to advance an $80,000 loan to the Parks Department at their May 24, meeting. The request has occurred in other years to keep its cash flow going right before the busiest time of year and fiscal responsibility was questioned.

Parks Superintendent Michael Harshbarger said this year’s request comes later in the year and is a little less than the $100,000 loaned in the past. He added they are very close to making it, until tax settlement is received before the end of the month. Once the department receives the tax money, the loan will be paid back immediately.

Councilman Andy Hoehn asked why

they are $80,000 short. Superintendent Harshbarger replied it is needed to cover expenses, as they are at the end of their January tax money. He added it actually could’ve been needed for less, but he didn’t have time to run the actual figures.

Councilman Hoehn said it appears that they are now hitting their biggest increase in payroll, with the summer months coming up. Harshbarger agreed.

Councilman Hoehn observed that if they are currently $80,000 down now, he would assume that expenses would only go up during the summer season. He is concerned that Harshbarger will be back before the council in September needing another loan. Councilman Hoehn said,

Elpers picked Dream job: Montgomery retiring after 11 years of service as one of 15 contest finalists

By Bryana Schreiber Earlier this year we published a story sharing that the young and talented singer, musician and songwriter Kenna Elpers, who is a student at North Posey High School, had been selected as 99.5 WKDQ’s Taste of Country Hometown Riser. Now Elpers has moved to the next stage of the competition, and is seeking community support as she competes for the most votes in the Taste of Country Hometown Riser national competition. Her excitement is high as the winner will receive airtime on the nationally-syndicated Taste of Country Nights radio show and a featured interview on Taste of Country. For Elpers and other aspiring artists, this is an incredible opportunity and

By Pam Robinson Posey County Sheriff’s Deputy Dan Montgomery proves, “It’s never too late to be what you might have been” (attributed to George Eliot). The 65-year-old St. Philip native retired Thursday as a fulltime deputy with the sheriff’s department after 11 years of service.

“I always wanted to be a police officer,” he says. Discouraged as a young man from the pursuit of his dream, he worked in construction until his divorce, and his children started leaving the nest. His dream of being a police officer had never died.

When he heard the Posey County Sheriff’s Department was taking applications for deputies because of resignations, Montgomery applied and took the written test. Unfortunately, he didn’t receive a deputy’s position.

Much needed facelift Committee strives to rejuvenate Posey County fair grounds

By Lois Mittino Gray The look of the “ditch” will be a big “switch” at the Posey County Fair this year. Instead of a meandering waterway whose eroding banks were choked with weeds and invasive plant species, a wider-cut, straightened channel will meet the eye as fair-goers cross over to the animal barns. Rip rap rocks and turf will help hold the stabilized soil in place. This major construction project was critically needed to preserve the banks, especially where heavy soil losses and deep cuts were threatening the poultry-rabbit building and the stage.

The Posey County Fair Board awarded the contract to do the ditch renovation project about three months ago to Russell Excavating for $30,000. Work started this past month and the company guarantees it will all be completed in time for the fair to begin on July 15.

Father’s Day in America, remember, count blessings

By Dr. Glenn Mollette It’s time to once again celebrate Father’s day in America.

I like Father’s day. It’s always interesting to see if my children or anyone remembers. Maybe I will get a text, an email or even a telephone call. Father’s day is kind of like your birthday you don’t really think about it until the day comes.

You then can’t help but notice who forgot or who simply does not care.

I was always busy as a young adult and probably didn’t pay attention to Father’s day like I should have until later in life.

I got a little closer to my dad in his later years simply because my mother had died and he had to talk to me when I called. My

father was a good dad in that he took care of us. He kept food on the table and a roof over our heads. I never had to face living with a single parent or in a blended family.

All I knew was my mom and dad and I never worried about being hungry or being homeless. Millions of Americans cannot say this. This is not a negative about single parenting or being homeless or blended families. I’m simply saying that Mom and dad hung in there and my sisters and brothers and I have a lot for which to be thankful.

My grandfather was a good dad. He raised ten children. He was a blessing to a multitude of grandchildren. He worked until he was 83. I never saw him smile

a lot but how could he smile when there were dozens of grandchildren around all the time? Plus, he worked six days a week until he was 83. He managed it pretty well.

My son is a good dad. I can believe it because he was a good son. Yet, it’s always amazing when you see your child in action. He spends so much time with my little grandson and they have a beautiful bond. I love to watch their interaction and I am so happy for both of them.

This Father’s day will once again be a good day and a tough day. Father’s will count their blessings and also their failures. Father’s will wish for another chance to do it again but we only get one chance to be a dad. Many will visit cemeteries

to pay respect to a dad now long gone or Father’s will mourn over the passing of a child.

Father’s day is upon us and the best you can do is to cherish the moment. Make a visit. Make a telephone call. Make the day as personal as possible. Life is about relationships and there is nothing like loving a Father or a child while you have the opportunity. When you look back you’ll be so glad you did.

Summer scents

A T M

B B R

I love this time of year, largely because I am very cold-natured; if it’s under 80 degrees I think it’s cold. But that’s just me, I know. I feel like Charlie Brown’s dog, Snoopy, often seen with his nose straight up to the sky, dancing for joy. I’m dancing for summer!

One of the (many!) joys of summer are the scents and smells of the season. Just a whi of certain things can bring back memories of summers gone by, summers shared with friends and families while I was growing up.

On a recent drive home one evening, the sweet, fragrant scent of honeysuckle drifted through the open car windows. The warm, gentle smell of honeysuckle will forever remind me of Owensville, the little town in southern Gibson County that was the ďŹ rst home I remember. We moved there when I was four years old, just after my dad graduated with his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, proudly earned from Michigan State University.

We lived in three dierent houses while living in Owensville, the second of which we called “the little brick house,â€? quite original, not to be confused with the third abode, “the big house.â€?

Very descriptive, right? But it worked for us. I don’t remember much about the ďŹ rst house (I was four!), but it was in the same neighborhood as the little brick house. Said neighborhood included the Brown family, members of which I still consider dear friends, our ďŹ rst house being across the street from them, the second on the street behind them.

We spent hours running back and forth between our houses. The little brick house was down a long (well, it seemed long from my young perspective!) lane which ended in a circle drive. There were three other houses on the lane, and my dad’s vet oďŹƒce, a small, concrete-block building, was on the circle. We lived in this house about eight years, until we moved to the big house when I was thirteen.

The path between the Brown’s home and ours was up a very small hill and was usually bare of grass from so many trips between the two houses. Our moms were the best of friends their entire lives, as well, cementing the relationships among the kids. Both families were large (four Ramsey’s, at that time, and six Brown’s) which often made for no small amount of chaos, but large amounts of fun and frivolity.

On the north edge of the lane was a huge honeysuckle plant, or lots of plants, actually, as I think honeysuckle sends out runners to spread and grow. I remember it covering the entire small bank on the side of the lane, so thick there was no way you could walk through it. And green.

With masses of small yellow and white tubular owers that were oh, so fragrant.

If you are lucky, you also know that said owers contain a sweet nectar – honey! - enjoyed by plucking the ower from its stem, placing the tiny end to your lips and sucking out the contents of the ower, hence the name of the plant. I remember pulling, sucking, and discarding untold numbers of honeysuckle blossoms through the years.

If you lived during that era (the sixties) you will also know that a certain insecticide, now banned, was sprayed to rid communities of the much maligned (hated?) mosquito. Owensville,

in its quest to keep its citizens comfortable, established the routine (much as communities do today) of spraying during the late evening hours to, well, kill the resident mosquito populations. I remember standing outside, watching the truck drive down our lane, one of the town employees standing in the bed of the truck spraying the leaves and vines with the chemical. Flowers, too, were coated with the agent designed to rid the town of those pesky mosquitoes.

The owers??!? Yep. The very same owers which we placed upon our lips the very next day.

The very chemicals used were found to be harmful to nature, and we were lucky that we felt no long-term ill eects from directly ingesting said chemicals. Or maybe we were aected, and that’s the reason we are – or at least I am! – the way we are today. You know what? Those honeysuckle blossoms still tasted sweet‌ Science tells us that scents, or smells, or odors, often elicit memories, some good, some not so good. What scents or smells take you back to a happy place? As we move through summer, take a moment to enjoy those smells and remember‌just remember. I’ll be sharing other scents and the memories they evoke for me in the weeks to come - the scents take me back to the beginnings of friendships, to happy vacations, to family get-togethers and the comfort foods we still share to this day. But I don’t need science to tell me all that. All I need is a whi of honeysuckle on a warm, still, summer night to send me back to those early, happy days. And that’s all that matters.

Guest Column: Wendy McNamara, State Representative Wartime Museum celebrates its first birthday Manufacturing in the Evansville area was essential during the war, with nearby factories creating products the military needed for ďŹ ghting on land, sea and air. The museum displays these products, explains how they were made and describes their importance in winning the war.

Galleries in the museum also tell the stories of brave men and women who put their lives on the line to protect our freedom.

As this is a family newspaper I cannot recite the W.C. Fields (1880 – 1946) actual quotation about why he did not drink water. However, after spending two full days removing a winter’s worth of sludge from Peg’s above ground pool I side with W.C. My first clue as to the toxicity of the greenish, quivering mass clinging to the Walmart plastic liner was when my friend Paul Axton, who is a Department of Natural Resources officer, stopped by to retrieve the racoon trap he had loaned me. Paul smelled the acrid fumes rising from the pool and walked over to investigate. “Jim have you notified the E.P.A. about this concoction? It may require Congressional oversight to remove this junk. If this gets into the wrong hands terrorists may be able to use it for untold mayhem.� “No, Paul, but Peg has already ordered me to get in that knee-deep

filth and prepare the pool for swimming. According to Peg, as the man of JPeg Ranch, the gods have ordained it is my duty. Peg has already cleared the disposal with the Health Department and the Department of Defense. Thanks for your concern; would you like to join me?� “Gee, I would but I told my sister, Judy, I would help her with her raccoon problem. But feel free to call me any other time.�

In past years Peg has just bypassed my reluctant involvement in removing the winter’s accumulation of dead organisms, crop dust, and floating debris. However, Peg thoughtlessly fell off the ladder when she started to clean it last week and re-injured the knee she broke skiing 22 years ago.

She claims it hurts and Dr. Matthew Lee took her side and ordered her on bed rest for two weeks. To make matters worse, Dr. Lee then sent her to an orthopedic surgeon who agreed.

‘Elpers’ continued from Page A1 would be a dream come true.

Taste of Country Hometown Riser Radio stations in New York, Wyoming, Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Indiana and more asked local artists to impress with original music and evidence that they are ready for their big break.

The response was overwhelming with dozens in each area competing for just fifteen finalist spots. Now the fifteen local Taste of Country markets across America have identified singers for the competition that will ultimately identify one rising star.

WKDQ is supporting Elpers as its local winner and encouraging those from around the tri-state and beyond to vote for her. She is in the spotlight on the front page of their website, and like many others they are cheering her on. Travis Sams, who serves as a digital assistant and assistant program director and is on air middays on 99.5 WKDQ, is thrilled to see Elpers compete.

“This is the first year we’ve done the Taste of Country Hometown Riser competition, and Kenna was selected as our winner because she is a standout, powerhouse vocalist,” said Sams. “I’m a huge country music fan and when I think about talent I look for an artist who performs with conviction and feels what they are singing. Kenna has that conviction, along with a great attitude and stage presence.”

Sams recalls talking with Elpers’ mother, Dana, and learning that she was only 14. “Kenna has the voice of a 20-year-old so that threw me a curve,” said Sams who is amazed by the talent she brings at such a young age. “She has such a obvious passion for music, and we are here to support. We hope to have her in on the morning show and will invite her to share some of the new songs she has been working on with our listeners.”

It’s up to the public to decide who the 2018 Hometown Riser will be. For the national competition, people can check out the Taste of Country website at tasteofcountry.com and click on the artist photos to hear samples from the hometown stars in the making. Voting recently opened and it’s easy, as it simply involves the click of a button online.

Visitors to the Taste of Country site can vote once every day until the competition ends at 11:59 PM ET on June 18, 2018. If you’d like to support Elpers, remember to visit the site each day to cast your vote. The site also provides the option to share your vote with your social networks on Facebook and Twitter, which encourages others to vote too.

Elpers would like to thank the com-

munity in advance for its continued support. “I’m so grateful for my incredible fan base, and appreciate everyone who will take a minute to visit the Taste of Country site and vote for me in this competition,” said Elpers. “I love to perform and create music, and by voting you are helping me work toward my dream of becoming a country music star.”

pedal to the metal. “The more people that see her, the more exposure she will get and the more people she’s exposed to the more opportunities she will have,” said Zirkelbach.

Echoing Sams and Passage, Zirkelbach noted that Elpers knows how to engage an audience and is committed to learning new instruments and growing as an artist. “Kenna is building a following well beyond her family, friends and other local musicians, and fans are learning her original songs” said Zirkelbach. “She’s a star in the making.”

Booking Agents Recognize Elpers’ Talent Elpers performs year round, but now on summer break from school she keeps a full schedule working on her music and performing at area venues. She also has performances in Nashville and other regional cities, such as St. Louis. This young artist is in high demand, and area booking agents attest to her talent.

In serving as the booking agent and talent buyer at Lamasco’s Bar and Grill, Chris Passage is exposed to a number of performers. He highlighted what differentiates Elpers from some of the others he’s worked with and seen on stage.

“While some artists are content with their craft, Kenna’s always seeking out opportunities to grow and expand her talents,” said Passage. “It’s refreshing to see someone who is good at what they do, and yet still seeks to improve. I’ve really enjoyed watching her progress.”

Passage met Elpers about two and a half years ago through a songhouse series that was offered at Lamasco’s on Sundays. Since meeting her, he’s booked her to perform at Lamasco’s a number of times and has gone out to see her perform at other events as well.

“When other teens are going out with friends, Kenna is practicing and performing,” said Passage. “She has a good head on her shoulders and her parents are very supportive of her pursuit.”

Passage says he appreciates that Elpers is dedicated to pursuing her dreams, and takes initiative to follow through.

“Kenna makes it a priority to get out of her comfort zone,” said Passage.

“There’s no doubt she has a passion for music. You can see she loves what she’s doing and is in her element.”

Kevin Zirkelbach, owner of the Backstage Bar and Grill, also books Kenna for performances. Elpers actually wrote one of her original songs while in his bar. “Kenna is a natural performer,” said Zirkelbach who has has Elpers in to perform at Backstage more than a dozen times. “She’s very mature for her age and she has a great energy. She’s confident, smiley, sweet and bubbly and always looks like she’s having fun. The crowd loves her.”

Elpers’ supporters hope she keeps the

About Our Local Rising Star A rising star hailing from southern Indiana, Elpers is a powerful performer with a deep love for country music that ignites her passion to perform. Taking root and growing up in boots in the small town of Cynthiana, Elpers has boldly declared her desire to become a country music singer since the age of three.

Elpers has grown tremendously since she first began performing the National Anthem at venues including Lucas Oil Stadium and Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

She continues to elevate her career, taking the stage alongside some of her own country idols at local hot spots and notable Nashville venues, such as The Commodore Grille and The Whiskey Room, among several others.

As a passionate singer, songwriter and musician, Elpers has composed a number of original songs and looks forward to releasing her first EP album early this summer. Be a part of Elpers’ journey by following her on social media, and come out to enjoy an upcoming show!

However beautiful and expensive, wedding day is still only 24 hours

D M

B C P

Madeleine, traditionally, June is considered the month for weddings. I can understand that; it is a time with nice warm weather, and when lovely summer clothing can be worn. I frequently refer to the cheesy Hallmark movies that I watch. No matter how much I make fun of the predictable plots, and other problems I see with these movies, I keep watching them anyway. They are not supposed to be anything other than this, anyway.

There are no big surprises, and it is always nice to see the pretty girl marry her soul mate. Right now, there are several new ones, all based on weddings. Even after the couple ďŹ gures out that they were meant to be together forever, there is always some stupid misunderstanding that threatens the whole thing. Of course, it is all resolved and the wedding takes place.

It is always picture-perfect with lavish owers, huge cake, and beautiful guests. At one time, I had mixed feelings about watching movies with this type of wedding. It was pretty much my own fault that the day I got married was nothing like this. Young people do things on impulse that cannot be changed.

and dierent religions have various traditions and “rulesâ€? concerning weddings. We have all heard the term, “mail-order bridesâ€? which was not an unusual thing in the early centuries of our country. Pioneers needed a wife and arranging for someone to arrive, sight-unseen, provided a solution. Young girls voluntarily left their families and sailed across the big ocean, seeking a new life in America.

For the many of us who watched Downton Abbey, we know that American heiresses frequently married men with big houses and titles in the “old country� trading a big dowry for a place in aristocracy.

With people living longer now, it is not unusual for an older couple to ďŹ nd second marriages, after divorces or deaths. Most of us need a mate to help us navigate the long path of life.

For all the young couples that will march down the aisle this year, I hope that it is the beginning of a long and joyous life. It is the most important decision you will ever make.

A spouse should always be that soft place to fall; the source of unconditional comfort, despite everything else in ones life. However beautiful and expensive, a wedding day is only 24 hours, and it is all the following days and years that will ultimately matter.

Madeleine, I hope that you and Alexander and Issabella ďŹ nd your soul mates, and have a memorable wedding and blessed life.

By Lois Mittino Gray Family and friends ocked to New Harmony to attend the big birthday bash for Marie Sweeney on Saturday, June 2 at the Working Men’s Institute. 147 people attended from Florida, Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky to regale Marie’s ninety years of vibrant living and share a piece of her rose-covered cake.

Marie was born nine decades ago in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the middle of eleven children in the family. She was married 25 years to Bob Johnson who moved the family to New Harmony in 1963. Bob died in 1974 and ten years later Marie married Jack Sweeney for nineteen years until his passing.

Her birthday reception was hosted by her three children. Rita Reynolds is the oldest, Terry Hon is the middle child and Mike Johnson is the youngest. Her legacy includes nine grandchildren and nineteen great-grandchildren.

Marie still lives alone in her family home and enjoys seeing people for conversation enhanced by her lively wit. If you haven’t done so, wish her a happy birthday.

Chip and Seal Operations to begin in Poseyville The Indiana Department of Transportation announces chip and seal operations for State Road 68 near Poseyville.

Beginning on or around Thursday June 14, INDOT Maintenance crews will close S.R. 68 from S.R. 269 to S.R. 165. Typically work to chip and seal in one location will last for about four to seven days depending upon weather conditions and will be done under full

road closures to prevent damage to both vehicles and the roadway. This also increases the quality of the ďŹ nished roadway. After chip and seal operations are complete, any loose aggregate will be swept away from the road.

Chip and seal operations, on average, extend the life of pavement by three to ďŹ ve years. For every $1 spent on chip and seal, taxpayers save $6-14 in future

Briefly

road rehabilitation and construction costs.

The oďŹƒcial detour for this closure uses. S.R. 165, S.R. 66, and S.R. 69. Motorists should remember to slow down, increase following distance, obey all work zone signs and aggers, and plan for extra time to get to your destination.

Ever since 1946, the Indiana State Police has held a firearms match every year and state troopers compete to outscore each other in a handgun target shooting competition. This year’s contest, which was held last Friday, June 1, was at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy in Plainfield, Ind. The competition consisted of 16 four-person teams from each of the Indiana State Police Posts, Indiana State Police General Headquarters and officers from the Indiana State Police Capitol Police Section. The four member team from the Evansville Post finished in first place.

The troopers who represented the Indiana State Police Evansville Post were as follows: Senior Trooper/Detective Wes Kuykendall, Sergeant Russ Werkmeister, Sergeant George Smith and Senior Trooper Korey Mauck.

The competition consists of three courses of fire utilizing a bulls-eye target at 25 yards. The shooters stand and shoot their issued 45 caliber Sig Sauer semiautomatic handguns one handed. The first course of fire is the “slow fire” course of 10 rounds in five minutes. The second course of fire is the “timed fire” course consisting of two strings of five rounds in 20 seconds. The final course of fire is the “rapid fire” course which consists of two strings of five rounds in 10 seconds, each for a total of 30 rounds.

It was taken out of service in the late 1940’s and restored by the town’s fire department in 1988. Remington is the son of Whitney and Zach Tennyson of Henderson, Kentucky.

Michelle Fortune was recently named the FOP Auxiliary Member of the Year. Fortune states, “To say I’m humbled is an understatement. I don’t do what I do for myself, I do it for our Law Enforcement Officers. To receive this award is such a huge surprise. Without all of our FOP Auxiliary members putting all of their heart into serving I could not do what I do. What a tremendous honor.” Photo submitted

The Robust Christian Man

One of the more popular B words that W we see in N J . the news these days is “robust.” We use this word to describe something that is strong and hardy. Just a quick check of this word in recent news articles revealed things like “robust jobs report,” “robust demand,” and “robust oil prices” (not exactly a good thing!). I looked up the origin of this word and found something very interesting. It comes from the Latin word “robustus” whose literal meaning is “as strong as oak.” It conveys the image of a sturdy tree whose roots go down deep. Winds may blow, storms may lash strongly against it, but it remains undisturbed.

The Bible actually likens a man who follows God to such a tree. Read these words from Psalm 92: The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Planted in the house of the Lord, They will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still yield fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and very green, Although this verse can apply to both men and women, since we are near Father’s Day, we’re going to apply it to men today.

Notice first for all that this robust man is righteous...that is, “right with God.” He is one who flourishes like a strong tree. In Psalm 1, it describes this same type of man as being “... like a tree firmly planted by streams of water.”

It is in his right relationship with God that “the righteous man” flourishes. It is in that relationship that he is “firmly planted.” The truth is that without God, our lives are far from robust.

Though outwardly we may seem to flourish, yet inwardly there is no firm foundation.

Secondly, notice that this “righteous man” is planted in the house of the Lord. I’m afraid in our culture, church attendance has become optional, even for those who call themselves Christians. This is especially true of men.

Somehow to be a spiritual man is considered “unmanly.” To pray and take our families to church denotes weakness to many men. Yet, actually the opposite is true. A flourishing man...a robust man...is one who is spiritual. He is “planted in the house of the Lord.” He is the man who finds himself in church...every time the doors are open! How we need these kind of robust Christian men in our culture!

Finally, we also note that this spiritual man of robust faith bears much fruit in his life. Not occasional fruit, but consistent fruit...even down to his old age. Psalm 1 says of this man that “in whatever he does, he prospers.” This is because he doesn’t live an unselfish life. He doesn’t live on “Me Mountain.” He is productive in the way that he relates to his fellow man. He gives of himself to others. He gives his time, treasure, and talent to God’s kingdom, asking nothing in return. In his latter years, he is the family patriarch, “full of sap and very green!”

Men, don’t you want to be a man like that? Women, don’t you want your husbands, fathers, and sons to be that kind of a man? Believe it or not, these type of men really do exist today! I would encourage you men to become that kind of man. Start this Sunday by going to a Bible-believing church in your area. Begin to read God’s word. Pray to Him daily. Ask Him to make you the kind of man that you want to be...the kind of man that you know you should be...a robust Christian man!

Sermon of the Week: Life in a Culture of Death the movie coming out this fall about America’s most prolific serial killer, titled, “Gosnell.”

The authors share: “Gosnell killed more people than Gary Ridgeway, John Wayne Casey, the Zodiak Killer, and Ted Bundy combined. In a 30 year killing spree it is thought he killed many thousands of babies” ( https://www. indiegogo.com/projects/gosnell-movie#/ ). The authors of Genesis exercise narrative restraint in telling the Hebrew story when they simply write, “But the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them” (Exodus 1:17). They let the children live. They were pro-life, or anti-abortion - if you prefer to state it in the negative.

It wasn’t just that they refused to make someone else’s baby the object of angst - the outlet of their bitterness for not having children of their own. It’s also that these women were willing to forego their civil status for them.

Shiphrah and Puah civilly disobeyed the governing authorities, risking it all, throwing caution to the wind, in order to defend the cause of life.

This price was a far greater one to pay than an incumbent congressman who might risk re-election at the expense of doing what he campaigned to do in the cause of life. Shame on us for pretending to be politically calculated when we are only cowards. Courageous leadership stands up for the unborn. Courageous leadership does what it says it will do. Courageous leadership only calculates until he

can throw aside caution for conviction - and leverage credibility for compassion.

Courageous leadership like that of Shiphrah and Puah will leverage their last bit of standing to protect the least of these. And you should too.

They would be better.

Life is moral, not political.

If we get into a discussion on moral issues, my guiding questions will orbit around your earthly view of life. For candidates seeking office, how you answer issues of life, even Right to Life questionnaires, will tell us a lot about your worldview. The first, second, third..and possibly eighth question, if you get that far in conversation, with a candidate for public office, should seek to clarify the candidate’s view on the cause of the unborn. Why? Because until we can get this ancient moral precept correctly clarified, we have little business moving forward to other truly political issues.

I’m less concerned if you are a Democrat, Republican, Independent, Green Party Candidate or other. I’m more concerned that you are consistently pro-life - living out your conviction for the cause of the unborn. When you think about it, life is an easy decision, really. For Shiphrah and Puah, issues of life came before many other important issues - issues of oppression and marginalization and bureaucracy and gender and economy. Life became a firstorder issue for them and it can be for you too. Other issues eventually got addressed (e.g., Ex. 1:21) and the midwives got blessed. But issues of life receive prime of place, they come first in our order of societal priorities.

So write your legislator.

they were infertile. In a civilization that (wrongly) placed a woman’s value on her ability to bear children, these women were socially awkward. The upshot to their likely infertility is that they were prime candidates for midwifery employment.

They would have the time to work odd hours in crisis moments as labor and delivery nurses. They would have the time because they didn’t have children of their own. They would work around situations that constantly reminded them of their own inadequacy - the births of children. But they weren’t bitter.

They would not be bitter.

Shiphrah and Puah were ethnic minorities. They did not have the freedom to travel back home to Canaan - their Promised Land. They did not come and go as they pleased.

Their faith in the promises God gave to Abraham, promises of land and blessing and offspring, were only coming true in slow, small, part.

And even the part that was coming true (i.e., numerous offspring) wasn’t coming true for them personally.

These ethnic minorities were macro-aggressed - not microaggressed. These were ethnic minorities with ever-diminishing rights. The situation was not good.

They would not be bitter.

Shiphrah and Puah were commanded to oversee partial birth abortions. They were asked to do an ancient version of Kermit Gosnell - dismantle unwanted babies even as the babies screamed for life. You should prepare now to watch

By Matt Watson, Pastor, Mount Vernon Baptist Church, Mary washed Jesus’ feet (Mark 14:9). She is remembered. Euodia and Syntyche debated issues (Philippians 4:3). They’re remembered.

God remembers every true Christian by name (Revelation 3:5, 20:15). The Scriptures well remember two other ladies, Shiphrah and Puah.

Shiphrah and Puah’s names are presented prominently in the Hebrew sentence that comes to our English-reading eyes in Exodus 1:15. There were simpler ways to convey their presence to the first hearers. But unlike the elders of Israel and the pharaohs of Egypt, the author gives dazzling specificity to their names. Before Moses is even mentioned in the Exodus narrative, as if to add emphasis, these names are mentioned: Shiphrah and Puah. They made a name for themselves by protecting the most vulnerable among us.

These are remembered for what they were unwilling to do rather than what they did do. And, sometimes, that’s okay. When the pundits write of us as “anti-abortion” rather than “pro-life,” we accept it.

Why? Because we know the game. Sometimes it’s better to be known for where we draw the line in the sand - where we won’t go - what we won’t do. Here are the things Shiphrah and Puah wouldn’t do.

They would not be bitter.

Shiphrah and Puah were 15th century B.C. Hebrew midwives which likely meant

Budding artists try their hand at different mediums at Kids Art Camp Special to The News Once again, we had a successful art camp this past week June 5-7 from 9 am to 12 pm each day. We had 20 participants with each child creating at least 10 works of art.

The first day, instructor Carlene VanLangingham read a story about lighthouses, then she instructed the children how to paint rocks. The children also painted lighthouses, and light ships using crayons and a light

watercolor wash using the technique called color resist.

The second day, Maggie Rapp talked about the artist Jackson Pollock. We set up three stations. One where the children then created art with texture, using toy car tires, balloons, and balls.

The next stations the children worked from an easel to create a watercolor from a still life set-up. The third station the chil-

dren dripped paint and swirled it around with toothpicks.

The third day we talked about the author and illustrator Eric Carle. The children created a colorful background with texture and color, then cut an animal from paper painted with texture and color to glue on the background. The children then followed the instructor, Jennifer Nix, in a drawing a sea horse.

One piece of artwork from each student will be on display for the next exhibition at the Hoosier Art Salon beginning July 14, 2018 until August 19.

Hoosier Salon children’s programs are offered free to all children and all supplies are furnished. Funding for the programs is made possible by a grant from the Robert Lee Blaffer Foundation and the local civic group Kappa, Kappa, Kappa, Inc.

‘County fair’ continued from Page A1

Brandon Leach, an active member of the Fair Board’s Maintenance Committee, points all around at the work being done, as he envisions how much better it will all look in time. “The berm on this side will have rock chutes to control water from the hillside. The main channel has been cut and widened three to four feet to the west and vegetation in the whole waterway has been cleared out. Russell brought in their mulching attachment and took care of small trees and bushes,” Leach noted. “Our little ditch isn’t little no more!”

“We were concerned about the safety and integrity of our structures.

We had to do this. We were about three feet from losing the poultry building and about twenty feet from the back of the stage. We’ll dress up the berm on the northwest side and seed it, maybe have some grass grow.

The guard rail will be made safer.

This is all about keeping it nice for

the kids,” he observed.

Dedicated young people like Leach are what is giving the fair its rejuvenated lift these past few years.

An influx of new blood is getting things done and adding new attractions. “I’m surprised they didn’t work on this ditch with its cutting waters years ago!” Leach remarked.

The fair’s Maintenance Committee consists of Brandon, Drew Burkhart, Jared Schmidt, and Christopher Kaufman. Before the fair begins, the quartet plans to give a facelift to the bowed roofline of the horse barn, spread three piles of mulch and landscape around buildings, and do necessary repairs. Brandon does the mowing for the grounds.

Leach, a Mount Vernon High School Class of 2006 alumnus, has been a fair board member for three years. His fiancée, Hannah Duncan, is also on the fair board and sparked his interest in it. Her ten years of ex-

Brandon Leach shows where the soil is eroding away behind the Poultry-rabbit building by the fair ditch. Photo by Lois Mittino Gray perience in 4-H has them still raising rabbits and goats at their Wadesville home.

The friendly 30-year-old has quite a record of maintenance experience.

Since high school, Brandon has worked construction for ten years, been a mechanic, has been a Local

181 heavy equipment operator and works for Vectren. He is presently a natural gas fitter apprentice in the Mount Vernon District. He excitedly talks about projects and seems to love it all.

While the ditch project is the most costly fair expense this year, it will

be the one fairgoers can most readily see and experience. “I wondered for years when this would be done,” Leach said. “I’m so grateful for the donations from the community.

None of this would’ve been possible without the generous donations we’ve received,” he said.

‘School Board’ continued from Page A1 bers of the Mount Vernon School Board declared almost two hundred of the devices as surplus at their June 4, meeting.

West Elementary will have 132 model A1403 devices for sale, 23 will be from Farmersville Elementary, one from Marrs, and 30 from the high school with Otterbox and charging cords.

Director of Business Loren Evans said he anticipates the on-line auction of the devices, and many other items declared as surplus at the meeting, will be in mid-June.

“Watch the ads and we will announce the details,” he said. Evans explained the iPad tablets are still usable, but cannot be updated beyond iOS 9.3.5 to run the most recent school applications. The sale list includes computer towers and hardware, televisions and monitors, printers, wall maps, looms, wooden tables, and filing cabinets. Science room equipment features frog, grasshopper, hydra, starfish, cell, flower, leaf and root models and a stereoscope, incubator and lab glassware, such as test tubes, beakers and flasks.

In personnel matters, Amelia Sharber resigned as a teacher assistant at West Elementary to take a similar position in remediation there. Steve Brenton high school boys’ head track coach resigned, as well as his assistant, Keith Kinnaird. Kyle Howard high school boys’ assistant coach in basketball resigned as did Kassandra Spindler as the high school assistant coach of soccer. Tammy Schneider will no longer be the full time junior high cheerleading sponsor and Timothy Alcorn resigned as high school ECA Sponsor. Charleen King turned in her keys as a bus driver and Jean Harralson quit the Farmersville cafeteria. All resignations are effective immediately.

Beside Sharber, the board confirmed employment of Amanda Hamilton as a teacher assistant in the Marrs Elementary library and the same for Amy Beshears in remediation.

Nicholas Burton, Kurt Nelligan, John Schelhorn, Brandon Tweedell and Riley Snodgrass were all hired on as assistant football coaches, at varying pay stipends. Kassandra Spindler will be the junior high cross-country coach.

A position for an additional strength coach at the high school was approved. This additional person would allow flexibility in meeting the demands of the high school athletes. It will possibly be a female. The position will be posted right after the meeting and School Superintendent Tom Kopatich said he will most likely use someone already on staff.

Julie Kissinger and Julie Jackson were given permission to attend the 2018 Literacy retreat at French Lick on June 12-13. On those same dates, Krista Cartwright will attend the College and Career Readiness Summit at Murray State University in Kentucky.

In other action, the board: • Adopted textbooks for miscellaneous subjects for 2018-2024, as recommended by teachers and administrators. The subjects include agriculture, business education, music and visual art education, family/consumer science, and technology education. Book rental price lists will be ready in July.

• Designated, for next school year, that to-

tal student capacity, including resident and non-resident student transfers, be 240 students per grade level. January 18, 2019, was the date set by which requests to transfer into the school corporation must be received.

The state requires these figures to be set by the board annually as a routine measure.

• Granted Sunday outing permission for MVHS wrestlers to travel to team camp in Crawfordsville on Sunday, June 10, 2018 and to Angelus to perform at Trinity United Church of Christ on Sunday, July 29, 2018.

• Dr. Kopatich announced the 4 C’s learning conference, held on June 4 and 5 at the high school, was attended by over 300 teachers from three states. “It is turning out to be an excellent conference. State School Superintendent Jennifer McCormick spoke as well as the principal of Noblesville High School.

His daughter was at the middle school there during the active shooter incident,” he said.

• The next board meeting is set for Monday, June 18 at 5:45 p.m., in the junior high school library.

‘Common Council’ continued from Page A1 “Fiscally, we are taking from the left pocket and putting it in the right pocket.”

In response, Mayor Bill Curtis explained the second tax settlement is normally a little smaller than the spring settlement, as most people pay their taxes for the entire year in the spring.

He added he is confident, in regard to Councilman Hoehn’s comment, that the Superintendent won’t be back for more and Harshbarger agreed.

Councilman Larry Williams asked

Harshbarger for assurance that it is a just a cash flow problem. He replied yes, and added the department has cut and cut its budget and no longer operates at a loss.

Mayor Curtis agreed that money was left over the last two years in their budget.

Councilman Hoehn moved to approve the resolution authorizing the temporary loan of funds from the Indiana EDIT Fund to the Mount Vernon-Black Township Park and Recreation Fund, in the amount of $80,000. Mayor Curtis requested a roll

call vote and it passed as resolution 18-15.

In other council discussion: • Attorney Beth McFadin Higgins was asked to get more information on the state requirements for installation and liability for the Safe Baby Haven Law that will go into effect July 1. Fire Chief Wes Dixon and the attorney have talked about the proposal to put one in at the fire station, but more information is needed.

• Mayor Curtis stated Water Superintendent Chuck Gray was not able to attend the

meeting, and Water Chairman Mark Clements had a health situation arise, so he was not in attendance as well.

Gray reported they are 37 perecent done with the work on the East Side Gravity Flow Sewer Project. Gray also told the mayor beforehand that the water department had 131 service calls since the last meeting.

They are still on round one of flushing hydrants; and raw water pump number two has been rebuilt and installed.

ful heart.

Not long afterward, Sheriff Jim Folz asked Montgomery if he wanted to get a canine, and Montgomery, a long-time bird dog breeder and trainer, said yes. Thanks to a generous grant from the Posey County Community Foundation, Montgomery was provided with a handsome eight-month-old German Shepherd dog from Slovakia and a six-week training course for the two of them at John Haller’s Top Dog Police K-9 Academy in Evansville.

Jajo (pronounced Yayo) and Montgomery passed the training in May 2009 and have worked as partners ever since. Each year, Jajo must be recertified for his work, and he proudly qualifies for national competitions every time although he has never been entered. Jajo’s success is due in no small part to the monthly training he and Montgomery attend in Evansville, following United

States Police Canine Association standards.

Then again, Montgomery has always given his best effort in service to others. In the 35 years he served on the Marrs Township Volunteer Fire Department, he was elected Captain and held the position of Assistant Chief.

As Montgomery retires, so will Jajo. The team can look forward to more play. Montgomery raised three children: two sons and his late daughter. He wants to spend time with his grandkids now, too. “The grandkids are something I’m looking forward to,” he says.

Otherwise, Montgomery wants to be outdoors. “I plan on doing a little hunting and a little fishing. Gardening a little bit,” he states. “If I find somebody to travel with, I’d like to do a little traveling.”

Whatever he does, Montgomery will always be living the dream.

‘Montgomery’ continued from Page A1 A little later, however, the sheriff at the time, Melvin Buchanan, called him back to interview for the newly opened jailer’s position. The key fit and opened law enforcement opportunities for Montgomery to advance. He moved from the jailer’s position to the 9-1-1 Dispatch Center, where he stayed for a little over seven years.

All the while, he stayed involved and became a reserve deputy under Sheriff Melvin Buchanan in October 1998. He remained a reserve deputy until Sheriff Jim Folz hired him as a deputy in 2007.

By then age 54, Deputy Montgomery enrolled as the oldest member of his class at the Southwestern Law Enforcement Academy in Evansville.

“It was 16 grueling weeks. The second day I was there, I thought, ‘What did I get myself into?’” he recalls. “But I love it.

There were about 25-30 people in our class.

We all became close friends. I still stay in touch with quite a few of them.”

Montgomery will never forget how his Academy classmates made sure his dream didn’t fall apart on the last day of training.

He remembers the last day required passing a physical test, with the last activity a timed one-and-a-half-mile run. Only later did he tell his classmates he had been at the hospital the night before to receive treatment to prevent his throat from swelling shut. He had had little sleep.

All his classmates had finished the timed one-and-a-half-mile run. Dan was laboring to finish with a quarter of a mile to go.

“The whole class came back and ran beside me and shouted to encourage me, ‘Come on, come on! Let’s go!’ It was awesome!”

Dan finished the timed run with, as he recalls, 10-15 seconds to spare — and a grate-
