First voting Latham moves forward as a Republican center run gets good report here

By Lois Mittino Gray County Clerk Kay Kilgore told the Posey County Commissioners at their June 4, meeting that “everything went really well with the county primary election on June 2.” She said everyone was very happy with it, especially since they used the new system of ten voting sites all around the county.

Commissioner President Carl Schmitz noted, “In general, everybody seemed satisfied, especially since you didn’t have to vote in your own precinct as before.”

Schmitz won the Republican Party nomination for his seat on the commission in the only locally contested race on the ballot. The sitting commissioner received 1,162 votes and challenger Sarah Newton garnered 1,095 votes. She lost by only 67 votes, giving the incumbent a good run for his money. There were also Republications and Democrats vying for state level positions on the primary ballot.

Kilgore reported 3,845 votes were cast, with over 1,200 absentee ballots. She said it took about ten hours to count all the ballots and record the numbers.

Schmitz said the only comments he received on the new election voting sites came from three or four calls from residents in the South Marrs/ West Franklin area. Some of the voting sites in that area were behind churches and did not have placards showing where to turn to get there.

Kilgore said she would keep that in mind and put up more arrows and signs next time.

The commissioners also heard a very uplifting report from Denny

Special to the News Posey County Sheriff Tom Latham is no longer a Democrat officeholder. On Friday morning, Latham filed paperswork at the Posey County Clerk’s office to change his party of affiliation to the Republican side.

In an obviously emotional letter, Latham explained why the change and why now.

“Growing up in this great community, I was raised in a home that taught me to stand for truth, justice and the principle that every man and woman is created equal. Today, these principles continue to guide me and my leadership as the Sheriff of Posey County. I have always lived my life by conservative values and have felt strongly that a political party does not define me as a person. That being said, my values—and the values of today’s Democrat platform—are so different that I can no longer call myself a Democrat. The unity and hope once idealized by John F. Kennedy have been replaced with divisiveness and anger.

Personally--and professionally—I can no longer be a member of an organization that promotes this agenda. I will not sit silently as Democrats urge the defunding of police across our nation. I will not be complicit in advocating for division.

There are good men and women in law enforcement. Men and women who have given their lives for the safety of the community they serve. I serve alongside many. These men and women deserve to be respected, not demeaned and demonized. The evil and disgraceful actions of one officer does not represent myself nor does it destroy my faith in law enforcement as a whole.

Today, I move forward as a Republican officeholder. But I have many strong friendships with local Democrats here in Posey County. These friendships will not change, and neither will my commitment to serve this great community. Just as I have done since I was a young deputy, I will continue to work aggressively to provide the safest environment for our county and the communities

Poseyville to receive share of COVID-19 funds

A final hearing will be held on June 22, with distributions to be made by the end of this month. Councilman Mike Baehl thanked Baker for his work on the OCRA grant project, which will greatly benefit local businesses.

an account to hold the $150,000 OCRA funds until distributions can be made to the qualifying businesses.

Doctor Good Antibody is in Mount Vernon’s Dr. James Rice offers COVID-19 antibody screening

Mount Vernon Dr. James Rice has recently begun testing individuals who have the antibody for COVID-19 at his office. For more information, call 812-838- 3730. Photo by Lois Gray

(USPS 439-500)

By Lois Mittino Gray Do you wonder if you had COVID-19 months ago and didn’t know it at the time? Do you possibly have antibodies against the virus built up in your blood already?

An answer to these questions is now available here in Posey County using a simple blood test. Dr. James Rice began offering the IgG test this past week at his office on 232 Walnut Street in Mount Vernon. Dr. Rice believes he is the only doctor providing the test right now in our county.

The test requires one, quick blood draw in the office and it is sent out to the national supplier, LabCorps for reading.

“Since we do our own in-house blood draws and a patient doesn’t have to go down to a hospital, we usually get results back in two days. The first ones we just started doing on Monday were already back by Wednesday,” Dr. Rice said. In these first few days, they have done about a dozen tests. Some were arranged by a company as a voluntary service for its employees.

A person can just walk into the office and request the test, but some parameters must be followed. A person must not have any virus symptoms for the past ten to fourteen days and must be totally fever free for at least three days.

A person must be eighteen years of age or older to qualify for testing.

“People just want to know and this helps them to do so.

The test is not perfect, it’s not 100 percent yet, but it is the best we have so far,” the doctor explained. “According to the government, it is covering all costs of testing. We do not handle any money for the test and no insurance is billed

by us.”

The tests are paid for by Medicare, Medicaid and commercial insurance companies. Deductibles are waived for this test.

The COVID-19 IgG antibody test checks for a type of antibody called immunoglobulin G (IgG). It may help a person identify if they were exposed to the virus and built up the antibody. It can take up to two weeks after exposure to build up the antibodies. It does not identify if you have an active COVID-19 infection at the time of testing.

While there is belief that the presence of antibodies may indicate that you are immune to future infections, there is not yet enough data to indicate this conclusively. There are no guarantees. Results from this test also will not provide information on whether you can spread the virus to others, and it is not used as a basis for diagnosis.

Additionally, serology tests may detect IgG antibodies from previous exposure to coronaviruses, other that COVID-19. This can cause a ‘false positive” result. To learn more about the test itself and its results, visit LabCorp.com on the Internet.

“New patients are always welcome,” Dr. Rice said with a smile. “Just come on down to the office.”

Dr. Rice, who has been a doctor in Mount Vernon for thirty years, moved into the present office sixteen years ago. It is a lovely historic home built by Governor Hovey’s son.

Posey County Council to hear budget requests earlier

By Lois Mittino Gray Members of the Posey County Council met on Monday, June 8, in lieu of the monthly second Tuesday meeting, and made one change to ease the rigors of sitting through department head budget hearings for next year.

Council President Heather Allyn proposed a new plan for conducting 2021 budget hearings for county departments. “Last year, we did them all in September over two days and it was so exhausting. All the numbers seemed to blend together. Let’s break it up and do some in July and August after council meetings, too� she suggested. Fellow council members wholeheartedly concurred and felt it was a great idea.

It was also agreed that if a department’s budget requests had no changes expected in the next year, other than normal salary increases, a presentation in person was not necessary. This would allow more time for those with changes to answer questions from council. According to current forecast, salaries for employees look to get the normal three percent increases. County Treasurer Vicki Peerman said tax collections are going well and that should be no problem. President Allyn thanked the citizens of Posey County for paying taxes on time to keep the economy moving along.

The Council decided to start the public budget hearings after the July 21 meeting.

“We’ll schedule as many as we can and be finished by 11 to 11:30 a.m.� Allyn told councilors. Attorney Joe Harrison reminded them that the hearings need to be advertised to the public. Other hearings will take place after the August 11 and September 9 meeting. Council members will have a joint meeting with the Posey County Commissioners on July 7 to discuss insurance numbers and other mutual concerns.

Posey County Assessor Nancy Hoehn reported on quotes she collected for doing a replat of the old Springfield, Posey County site, originally tapped to be the county seat. If surveyed again and replatted, it will negate all the old surveyor records on the books now for the town square, jail, courthouse building and alleys. “There is confusion on the land boundaries and fences have been installed in the wrong locations.

We need to meet with the landowners and explain this and get it all hammered out. It starts with a new survey, and then down the road, the commissioners can vacate it,� the assessor explained.

Hoehn said quotes range from around $11,000 to $20,000 to do the survey work.

President Allyn wondered if funds could be taken out of the Perpetuation Fund to pay for it. Posey County Recorder Mary Rhoades was quick to point out that this was not a recorder thing and the fund is only for those purposes. It was suggested to contact

At left, the Posey County Sheri’s OďŹƒce’s newest member is K-9 Deputy Roman. K-9 handler Deputy Brian Hicks was able to pick up Roman this week. Roman is a Belgian Malinois and comes to Posey County from the Netherlands. Roman and the K-9 vehicle were purchased by donations to the newly established K-9 fund. Hicks and Roman will begin training together in the near future.

Jerry Walden, the Black Township Trustee, about funds. He started the ball rolling on this when he couldn’t get back to a cemetery there to mow, as landowners put up fences across the way. They think the land belongs to them now.

Councilman Bob Gentil made a motion to contribute up to $14,000 in county funds for the survey work to be completed. It was seconded by Marilyn Brenton and passed unanimously. It was noted that Black Township can be asked to contribute a little more if necessary.

In other council matters: --Posey County Health Director Denny Schaffer requested to move $2,000 into contractual services in the Health Board account for mowing grass and bug extermination in the new building. It was unanimously approved.

--Circuit Court Judge Craig Goedde appeared before council to request $175,000 be moved into his Pauper Account and $120,000 into his Guardian Ad Litum account. It was approved and President Allyn commented, “If you don’t use it, we get it back and if you need more just request it.�

--A $500 donation from the Eagles to the County EMS was accepted and put into the County General Fund.

--Council approved the $50,000 routine request for a temporary loan from the Posey County Solid Waste Management District.

It will solve a cash flow problem to pay lease payments on two vehicles until the agency gets its tax settlement funds at the end of June.

--The Area Plan Commission requested $591 to pull up finds from 2019 into the 2020 budget for office supplies and it was approved.

--The County Bridge Fund was approved.

--Posey County Sheriff Tom Latham reported the current total of inmates housed at the Posey County Jail at this time is 90. Of those, twenty are from Vanderburgh County, and eight from the Department of Corrections. More should be coming in soon from Vanderburgh County as virus restrictions are eased.

--The county primary election went well and many comments were received about how much the new voting center system was appreciated --One reimbursement was made into the EMS training account. A planned training didn’t happen and $280 in fees was returned.

--Jenna Richardt, Executive Director of the Economic Development Partnership, gave an update on the Broadband Grant application by announcing the application was sent in last week. Something should be announced by August 29. “Keep your fingers crossed, a lot of work by community members was involved in this and we hope to hear good news,� Allyn said.

NP COVID-19 protocol up next

By Lynda Baker North Posey School Board President Geo Gentil read a letter to the Board on June 8, 2020, that he had received regarding racial issues that are currently in the national forefront, requesting that the school district publicly address such issues. Assistant Superintendent Angela Bender explained that racial discrimination issues have been addressed by the Board for quite some time and that policies to deal with such matters are outlined in the school district’s Title 9 policies and procedures. She felt that the publication of these policies and procedures might be helpful in publicly addressing racial discrimination issues.

It was announced that Mrs. Exline, who is presently serving the school district at South Terrace Elementary, would be retiring after 32 years as an education professional.

The board thanked her for her service and wished her well in her retirement.

School Superintendent Todd Camp indicated that a meeting would be held the following Wednesday to discuss the 37 pages of COVID-19 guidelines that had been received from the State Board of Education regarding the opening of schools. He will be reviewing the many links provided in the guidelines and will be meeting with Mt. Vernon’s Superintendent to coordinate school At the Tri Kappa Meeting on Monday, two students were awarded with scholarships and openings county-wide. He will provide the the organization welcomed a new member. Pictured, l to r, are: Kara Fisher, Macee Long, Board with more information once he has Grant Allyn, and Carol ScarďŹ a, President of the Beta Chapter of Tri Kappa. Kara Fisher compiled a ďŹ nal draft of the plan. He exwas also recognized as a new member at Monday night’s meeting. Photo by Amber Allyn pects schools to open as planned in the Fall.

Bender informed the Board that she will soon be submitting a ďŹ nal draft of a new Title-9 policy and stated that the policy should be in eect by July.

Camp updated the Board on the district’s many improvement projects. The high school cafeteria has all new furniture, ooring and paint. Sewer projects are continuing, and a tree by the baseball ďŹ eld will need to be removed due to root entanglement. Some of the turf work has been delayed due to workers being unable to travel from California because of COVID-19 restrictions.

Bender thanked the Board for their support during her time with the school district and indicated that great strides had been made, particularly in the area of transparency. She explained that while Title 9 restrictions prevent complete transparency, she was pleased with the Board’s progress in this regard. She expressed her appreciation for the district’s teachers, along with school and oďŹƒce sta, who had all surpassed her expectations. She also thanked Camp for hiring her and for believing in her, her husband and family, and the students and their parents. She was very pleased with the district’s accomplishments and looks forward to traveling with her family in her retirement.

Gentil expressed the Board’s appreciation for Bender’s service and wished her great travels and enjoyment during her retirement.

The next meeting of the Board will be held July 13, 2020, with an executive session at 5:30 and a public session at 6:30.

PCCF blesses Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry The Posey County Community Foundation, an affiliate of the Community Foundation Alliance, Inc., recently awarded Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry a grant from its Rapid Response Funds totaling $5,000 to pay processing fees on livestock donated to agencies serving food-insecure residents in Posey County.

Due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, more than ever, families are struggling to buy groceries. Meat provides one of the most important nutrients (protein) that is vital to the growth and development of children and the health of all Hoosiers. Sadly, it is also one of the most expensive and hardest commodities for hunger relief agencies to get.

Food banks, pantries, and soup kitchens continuously work to protect the most vulnerable and under-served in our communities. These uncertain times are putting added stress and strain on many families and individuals throughout our communities

and the number of Hoosiers in need has risen drastically.

With the spread of COVID-19, these hunger relief agencies are facing increased demand as people lose income due to the measures put in place to slow the spread of infection.

P Madeleine, I write a lot of things that you, and others of your generation, have no memory of. I have resorted to watching a lot of older television shows. I have written about some of them. My usual ďŹ rst impression is something like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Okay where did all of those years go??â&#x20AC;?

I mention the diďŹ&#x20AC;erence in telephones, cars, and technology.

Grooming has also taken a hit, as well as judgment in so many things. The guys in the white hats are no longer the inevitable winner. I suppose, sadly, that current television shows and movies now reďŹ&#x201A;ect the way things really are.

I recently watched â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pretty in Pink,â&#x20AC;? a popular teen movie from the 80s, starring Molly Ringwald.

She was the female lead in several oďŹ&#x20AC;erings from this era. I suppose that the realism of unpopular girls

JUNE 16, 2020

Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day not having a prom date is timeless.

Unfortunately, most of them do not have a rich guy ignore his friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advice and take the unpopular girl to the dance.

As always, it makes me feel even older than my 75 years to see how those 80s actors have changed.

I think that one of the greatest changes is James Spader. Do any of you watch â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blacklist??â&#x20AC;? I am a bit disappointed in the current road it has taken. However, he has aged a lot. I suppose we all have.

It always makes me sad to see those old shows and realize how many of the actors have passed on.

To see them so full of life thirty years ago makes me face my own mortality. I suppose that it is my age that makes it seem like the world in general is on â&#x20AC;&#x153;fast forward.â&#x20AC;?

Phones and gadgets have had a huge advancement and I always scan the room on the screen for other things. I know that progress will always march on in numerous ways, but it tears at my soul to

trivial things and not just appreciating all that he is. There are many examples that most of us want to get a second chance to make better.

I know many widows who miss their spouses and they are always telling me how lucky I am to still have this grumpy old man!

He has so much enjoyed being part of the big Silver Bell renovation. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how his 80 year old body keeps going. I know that I say this all of the time, but it is amazing. When he was my art teacher so long ago, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with many of his â&#x20AC;&#x153;projectsâ&#x20AC;? but I was always blown away by his abilities.

I thought I was being funny when I asked him what he was going to build here on our two acres when his current project (yeah, blacksmith shop) is ďŹ nished. However, he immediately started rattling oďŹ&#x20AC; the list for 2021. I did stop his plans for a catapult and fully working tree house.

Happy Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, Don Powers.

National and Local News 100 Years Ago News From The Western Star, June 16, 1920 - Mount Vernon

Special Note: News in this issue includes: modern vault for Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bank, farmers work hard to get corn planted, Edwin Wade passes, Independence Day celebration, HardingCoolidge nominees for GOP, and many more news briefs and personals.

New Modern Vault For Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bank - With plans completed for the enlargement of the Peoplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bank & Trust Co., further improvements will be added by placing a new steel door in the burglar proof vault soon to be built. This door was purchased from the Mosler Safe Co., of Hamilton, Ohio, and will have a thickness of eight inches of solid steel.

The door will weigh about 16,000 pounds and will be non-burnable as well as burglar proof.

The vault will be reinforced with concrete and further protected by the present burglar alarm system. Renovation will take up most all of the entire ďŹ rst ďŹ&#x201A;oor of the I..O. O. F. building.

Farmers Work Day And Night - Never before in the history of Posey County have farmers worked so hard or made such almost superhuman eďŹ&#x20AC;orts to get in a corn crop. A backward spring with almost continual rainfall has delayed farmers of this section until the eleventh hour; and it has been necessary to put in the maximum of labor to produce a crop.

Both in this county and in Union and Henderson Counties, across the river in Kentucky, farmers have been working night and day. The use of the tractor has been instrumental in getting the biggest portion of the crop in, as farmers put lights on their machines and in many instances, work all night. Farmers are also busy with the hay and wheat harvest.

Edwin Wade Passes Away - Edwin Wade, senior member of the Edwin Wade Insurance Agency of this city, died at Martinsville, Monday afternoon following an illness for two years of Brightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease and high blood pressure. He has been at the health resort in company with his wife since June 4. On June 5, while waiting for treatment, he was stricken with convulsions and from that time until his death, had been conďŹ ned to his bed. He regained consciousness long enough to recognize members of his family present at the bedside before death.

Mr. Wade was born in Wadesville, Dec. 10, 1863, the son of John Boone Wade and Leonora Wilson Wade. He received his education at Valparaiso University. For a number of years he taught school in Posey County. Mr. Wade was recognized throughout the Tri-State district and throughout all of Indiana as one of the most proďŹ cient underwriters in this area. Mr. Wade expressed a desire for baptism during his last illness and this rite in the Catholic faith was performed by Rev. Father Downey. He leaves a wife, son and daughter. Funeral services will be held this afternoon from the late home of the deceased on Mulberry Street at 2:30, with Father Luebbermann of Evansville in charge.

Independence Day Celebration - Particularities of the celebration: Everything is free. p No admission - It will be a bigg basket picnic

to which everybody is invited. All business houses will be closed at 9:30. Formation of the parade, headed by a band, will proceed to beautiful Blackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grove where everybody eats.

After the patriotic speech, free attractions will start. A baseball game will be played by Owen Dunn Post 5 and the American Legion baseball team of Stewartsville. As night comes on, a concert by the band, and a community dance will be enjoyed. The ďŹ reworks display will be given from the waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge across the river. Farmers and city folks are invited to bring well-ďŹ lled baskets and spend the day.

THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS - PAGE A5

JUNE 16, 2020

‘Commissioners continued from Page A1 The commissioners also heard a very uplifting report from Denny Schaeffer, Posey County Health Department Director.

“As of yesterday, 303 people have been tested at the new Wilson Community Center site and no one in Posey County tested positive. There were some positives from other locations,” he told the commissioners. Posey County still has no reported deaths, with all 16 reported cases recovered at this time. “That is extremely good news,” Schmitz remarked.

In other commissioner action: • The commissioners submitted a pre-budget estimate to Auditor Meaghan Greenwell. Schmitz explained that the only difference in it from last year is that, “We added $200,000 in health insurance and $2,000 in legal fees. All the rest is about the same.” The estimate subtracted $50 in office supplies and added $5,000 for computer hardware to replace older models.

After discussion, an amended estimate was approved adding $40,000 for a truck for the animal control officer as his has over 160,000 miles on it.

• The commissioners approved the Highway Yearly Operational Report submitted by County Highway Superintendent Steve Schenk and approved a bridge contract with Civilcon for county bridge 243 replacement.

• Commissioner Randy Thornburg gave the following Workforce Development updates: the top affected industries for our region 11 during the COVID-19 pandemic are Manufacturing 27.9 percent, Food Service 15.1 percent, Retail 9.8 percent, and Construction and Health Care at 8.7 percent. He said there are 110 million people in the national workforce and 35 to 40 percent of those have filed for unemployment during this pandemic.

The State of Indiana figure is 17 percent unemployment. Posey County went from a rate of 2.5 percent unemployment before COVID to the present rate of 11.5 percent. “On a positive note,

there is a 67 percent rise in mortgage applications and that is a good indicator,” he observed.

• The Commissioners signed an agreement with Barns and Thornburg to aid the county in recouping COVID expenses.

The Federal Government has allotted 300 million dollars to help relief funds for Indiana cities, and counties. Posey County is eligible for $826,000 in reimbursements for expenses incurred between March 1 and December 31 of this year.

• Posey County Sheriff Tom Latham reported that the jail population for the day was 94 total prisoners. “We’re getting inmates back from Vanderburgh County again on June 8. They don’t have to be quarantined 14 days anymore, just seven now, and that will get our numbers up,” he said.

Latham also requested defunct Tasers that cannot be repaired be declared as surplus so he can destroy them. They are sonic welded and not in production anymore, since he bought them 16 years ago, and it was unanimously approved. “They are at the end of their lives,” he stressed.

He concluded by informing the commissioners that he reached out to the SAS Company that installed surveillance and camera equipment in the county jail to invited them to come down on June 10. They agreed to brainstorm and look around for ideas on how to improve security around the courthouse. “I will bring the report back to you when it comes in,” he assured the commissioners.

• County Assessor Nancy Hoehn spoke and requested a security system that would allow her to open the office door from home for employees. A Security Intercom system was approved.

• Thornburg said there was an animal control complaint up

by Pumpkin Run concerning a dog that should have been quarantined. It is handled now. Schmitz read the May animal report figures as: 31 complaints, three bites, and one animal picked up.

Congratulations to Major Joshua P. Berridge and wife Carolyn. Berridge was promoted on Saturday. He is the son of Robert and Lonna Berridge of Mount Vernon.

Bender regarding the formation of a 501(c)(3) corporation for the purpose of collecting community partnership donations. The donations are to be used to help those within the community with various needs, particularly property maintenance. He will also be accepting volunteers to help with such community projects.

The utility office is presently conducting the previously approved rate study with the assistance of Pat Callahan.

The town expects to receive Callahan’s findings next month.

Clerk/Treasurer Christy Foster announced that the utility office will open its lobby on July 5, 2020, in compliance with the Governor’s guidelines.

The fire department has resumed its training schedule, which training was temporarily suspended due to social distancing guidelines. Fire Chief Jeff Droege indicated that the department practiced using the new extrication equipment that was purchased with the recent generous donation of Dr. Alesia Brown. He also announced that the department’s October 4, 2020, open house has been canceled.

Baker gave a progress report regarding the Community Crossings Grant Street Project for this Summer. Concrete work is in process, with milling and paving to be done in July. He expects the project to be completed prior to any school openings. Mike Baehl requested that residents be patient with work crews and avoid the work areas as much as possible.

Mike Baehl was pleased to announce that baseball practices are now being held at the ballfield.

The Council explained that town personnel will clean and inspect the town’s playground equipment prior to the soon coming reopening of playgrounds per Governor Holcomb’s guidelines. They want to make sure that the equipment is clean, in good repair and free of insect infestations.

Those who desire to attend the Well Head Protection information breakfast to be held at the Community Center on July 9, 2020, should be sure they have responded to their invitations, as a head count is needed. The meeting will be

held to discuss well head protection, especially with regarding to nitrate issues.

Poseyville’s Town-wide Yard Sale/Clean Up Day is scheduled for October 3, 2020. The Town will provide further information via its Facebook page closer to that date.

Marshal Carter indicated that individuals with problematic properties will be contacted ahead of time and the town will do all it can to help with these issues.

Poseyville Kiwanis members Warren Korff, Jim Reynolds and Teresa Mossberger appeared via Zoom to discuss the 2020 Autumnfest, which is tentatively scheduled to be held September 26th and 27th. Club President Korff has contacted the Posey County Health Department to discuss the matter, but has not yet received a response. The club will not proceed with its plans until they receive input from the Health Department. Jim Reynolds said that a decision will need to be made by July 1, 2020, so that the club can organize vendors, parade applications, tent rentals and various other activities. It was noted that Owensville’s Watermelon Festival and Evansville’s Frog Follies have been canceled. The Autumnfest is an activity the community looks forward to and is the club’s major fundraising event.

The club’s concern is whether, in the event it is possible to hold the event due to state guidelines, very many people will actually attend.

Baehl reminded residents that cats must also be leashed in town. Animal Control will be called regarding stray cats.

Carter added that Animal Control generally neuters captured cats and returns them to the town.

The next meeting of the Council will be held Tuesday, July 14, 2020, 5:30 pm, at the Poseyville townhall. Attendance will be limited and attendees will be required to wear masks and social distance. Anyone desiring to address the Council must contact the Clerk’s office 48 hours prior to the meeting to be added to the agenda. Should any unforeseen circumstanced occur that would affect these guidelines, further information will be provided via the town’s Facebook page.

Posey County businessman and commissioner Jay Price received an early Father’s Day gift this week and says he couldn’t be happier. His wife, Courtney, and children Jaxson and Eliza, found his grandpa Yeida’s Oliver 77 tractor and got it for him. Now the fun will begin to restore it. Photo submitted

PAGE A8 - THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS V W

JUNE 16, 2020

Voice in the Wilderness: COVID Farewell

B R P

I learned this morning that the Posey County COVID testing center on State Highway 69 is closing its doors and moving elsewhere.

Good-bye and good riddance.

Throughout the spring, local and national news media have buďŹ&#x20AC;eted my wife and me with nonstop COVID stories and statistics --until the George Floyd killing and subsequent protests gave everyone something new to argue about. (For the time being, I will refrain from fur-

ther comment on that matter except to say that I â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ve grown pretty weary of it too.)

But I digress.

If the constant media buďŹ&#x20AC;eting is not enough, try living next door to a COVID testing facility. From my upstairs bedroom window, across my back yard, just beyond the chain-link fence, on the other side of the gravel parking lot, sits the county COVID testing facility.

One day it simply opened for business there with little or no advance warning. SuďŹ&#x192;ce it to say that I am sick and tired of all things COVID I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean to imply that the COVID people are bad neighbors.

They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stage loud parties that

last all night. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t jettison their lawn mower clippings through the chain-link fence and into our garden. Testing is handled professionally and discreetly, and traďŹ&#x192;c has been neither overwhelming nor disruptive.

But it has been constant. Usually you can count on seeing at least four cars in the lot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; two belonging to health personnel, one belonging to an individual being tested, and another belonging to a person waiting to be tested. For a month, this has been going on from morning until night. This constant inďŹ&#x201A;ux has disrupted our lives, and it has been a reminder of a phenomenon that just wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go away, even when you turn

the television oďŹ&#x20AC;.

For example, a couple of individuals pulled into our driveway not long ago, mistakenly thinking our two-story brick home was the testing site. Another individual, upon realization that our home was not the testing site, backed into our front yard and plowed a deep furrow in it on his way back to the highway.

While I understand the necessity for COVID testing and neither dispute nor deny the impact of the virus, I am nonetheless sick of it and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to be rid of it.

I have followed Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead in trying to reboot our economy and return to some semblance of normalcy. For the most part, I eschew

my mask, wearing it only in those places where it is required or where I think it is prudent to wear one. I still keep social distance. I avoid crowds, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always done that.

During a month of county testing, no one has tested positive to date.

That is encouraging news. But I still pay attention to local, state, and national numbers, and I long for the day when I can rip this confounded mask oďŹ&#x20AC; for good.

As I write, I look out the window, where only one car sits in the parking lot. Today is the last day operates in its present location. I wish them well and support them wherever they relocate. But I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss them.

Letter to the Editor Thanks for cemetery donations Members of the Town Council of the Town of New Harmony would like to thank everyone who made a donation to the cemetery fund during the last several weeks and over the Memorial Day weekend. However, we are still in need of donations to help with maintenance expenses.

Contributions may be mailed to the Town

of New Harmony, P.O. Box 340, New Harmony, Ind., 47631.

We would also like to extend a special thank you to the Tim Wiley family for placing the ďŹ&#x201A;ags on the graves of the veterans, and to those who volunteered to collect the money, including Beta Chapter of Kappa, Kappa, Kappa.

Matt Hostettler, State Representative Utility assistance available for Hoosiers The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority recently received an additional $17 million in federal funding to help Hoosiers who have lost income due to the coronavirus pandemic pay utility bills.

Through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, residents could be eligible for a one-time $350 beneďŹ t for utility costs. This includes those who have already received ďŹ nancial assistance related to the pandemic. Applications will be accepted through July 31. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to understand this program will not cover all your energy and does not excuse individuals of obligations to pay utility bills.

Under Gov. Eric Holcombâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Executive Order 20-06, no residential eviction proceedings or foreclosure actions may be initiated. Public housing authorities are requested to extend deadlines for housing assistance recipients and required documentation to show eligibility for housing programs.

If you face economic hardship and need

to make payment arrangements with your utilities, contact them sooner rather than later. Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2-1-1 help line is also available statewide to connect consumers needing ďŹ nancial assistance resources.

Under Executive Order 20-28, the prohibition of disconnecting essential utility services has been extended until June 30. This applies to all electric, natural gas, water, wastewater, telecommunications and broadband service providers.

When emotions run high, scam artists tend to prey on vulnerable people. If you receive a call from anyone claiming to be with your utility threatening to shut your service oďŹ&#x20AC; for nonpayment, hang up and call your utility provider immediately.

Remember, scammers can trick your caller ID into showing the utilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. There have already been several recent reports of this type of activity, and these con artists can target businesses as well as residential consumers.

Wendy McNamara, State Representative Many communities faced unexpected expenses while responding to the coronavirus as they ramped up public health and safety eďŹ&#x20AC;orts. To help, Indiana directed $300 million in federal funding from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economics Security Act to counties and communities for reimbursement of expenses related to the pandemic.

Posey County is eligible for $828,614 and Vanderburgh County for $5,871,481

in reimbursement funding. In addition, several local communities are eligible to receive the following amounts: Cynthiana $17,519, Mount Vernon $209,489, Darmstadt $46,329, New Harmony $24,624, Evansville $3,827,165, Poseyville $33,514, and GriďŹ&#x192;n $5,515.

This funding is allocated based on population and cannot be used to replace lost tax revenue.

Dr. Cameual Wright, CareSource Indiana Medical Director All of our attention is understandably drawn to the COVID-19 crisis; however, we need to remember that other illnesses that threaten our health have not gone away.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still at risk of serious issues like heart disease or cancer, and we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose sight of that during the pandemic.

You must recognize the importance of keeping up with preventive care, or the care you receive to prevent illnesses, like immunizations and regular health screenings.

People should still continue to make this a priority. Your risks for COVID-19 and other health concerns depends on several factors, including your age and other medical conditions. Your speciďŹ c preventive health plan should be made in consultation with your provider.

There are several diďŹ&#x20AC;erent factors that play into whether or not you need to visit a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oďŹ&#x192;ce right now. At CareSource, we created the following tips to keep up with important preventive care visits, while also keeping yourself as safe as possible.

Assess your risk.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re considering attending an inperson preventive visit, have a conversation with your provider ďŹ rst to determine your risk and ďŹ nd out what precautions their ofďŹ ce is taking. Ask your provider what their current policy is on preventive visits. Most likely, the answer they give to a 25-year old will be very diďŹ&#x20AC;erent from a 55-year old.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re older or if you have preexisting health conditions or a compromised im-

mune system, it may be prudent to delay your visit.

Turn to technology.

If you are in a higher risk category for an in-person visit, you can utilize the diďŹ&#x20AC;erent means of technology that many health care professionals have turned to during this time. Telehealth and telemedicine are great avenues to use for help with mental health issues, like depression or anxiety. Speaking with your provider over video chat to receive education, advice and counseling can serve as a solution if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep up with your visits in person. This is especially relevant now during the pandemic, as most health care providers are now oďŹ&#x20AC;ering telehealth services.

Visit freestanding labs.

During this time, you can still get tested for conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol levels or thyroid problems. Your provider can send an order for a test to be conducted at a freestanding lab, or an outpatient center that is separate from a hospital. There tends to be less traďŹ&#x192;c at these freestanding labs, limiting your exposure to other people during your testing process. You can also easily schedule your visits online and check wait times.

Keep up with OB/GYN checkups, dentist visits and eye exams if you are presenting problematic symptoms. If not, consider postponing.

I would recommend holding oďŹ&#x20AC; on your annual mammogram screening or pap

smear, unless you are exhibiting signs that are concerning for something as serious as cancer. If you are showing symptoms that something is wrong, or if you have a family history of cancer or previous abnormal pap smears, you may need to visit your provider for an in-person test in order to treat a potential illness as early as possible.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also recommend holding oďŹ&#x20AC; on routine cleanings at the dentistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oďŹ&#x192;ce. However, if you experience an emergency like sudden bleeding or intense tooth pain, you should visit your dentist. The same goes for eye exams. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re younger than 50 years old, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re visiting your eye doctor for an annual checkup, this can be postponed.

Conversely, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re older or experiencing a serious eye disease or injury, you should contact your eye provider for advice.

It can be diďŹ&#x192;cult to assess whether or not something constituents as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;emergencyâ&#x20AC;? during this time. You should try to get in touch with your provider prior to your visit to determine if you need to be seen.

Maintain childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immunization schedule.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critical to keep up with childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular vaccination schedules and Well Child Visits. This prevents them from experiencing other life-threatening illnesses, like the measles, mumps or polio. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), delaying vaccines could leave your child vulnerable to disease when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re most likely to have serious complications.

sonal sacriďŹ ces to the Revolution.

Martha and George had no children but they took a great deal of interest in Thomas Posey who was the son of a neighbor. Posey rose to be a general and Governor of the Northwest Territory. Posey County, Indiana is named for him.

America does not have a particular individual woman honored as the Mother of our Country but the women who could be so recognized are legion. My selection, after my own sainted mother, would be Eleanor nĂŠe Roosevelt Roosevelt (1884-1962).

Eleanor was born a Roosevelt and she married Franklin D. Roosevelt.

She was every bit as vital as Franklin to Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recovery from the Great Depression and victory in WWII as well as a force for equal rights for women and minorities. Eleanor may not have been present in 1776 but she certainly played the nurturing mother role to the United States at a time it

George Washington is not known as the Soldier of our Country even though he may have been our greatest soldier. George is not called the Policeman of our Country although he had immense police type powers during our Revolutionary War. Washington is not honored as one of early Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest Farmers albeit he and Martha owned or controlled over 300 human beings and ďŹ fty thousand acres of land. No, George Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest honor is that he is recognized as the Father of America.

Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, Martha nĂŠe Dandridge, Custis, Washington, ran their immense business enterprise during Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long absences and she set the example of service by her per-

might otherwise have succumbed to economic or military destruction. Eleanor and Franklin had six children of their own but an entire generation of Americans, including my parents, looked to Franklin and Eleanor for hope and parental type guidance.

There is a reason we apply our most honored title, Mother or Father, to people such as Eleanor Roosevelt and George Washington. The great majority of us have been blessed to have at least one parent, and often more, that we absolutely could rely on to have our best interests at heart. It is a sad reality that many people have not had loving parents, but for those individuals often others have provided that parental role.

Of course, unfortunately there are many who have had neither parents nor mentors to provide the care, character, conďŹ dence and discipline they have needed during the tough times we all experience. However, hopeful-

ly, society has or should have stepped in to help those whom fate has dealt such a hand.

And our country is currently dealing with the type of character testing crises where a parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loving and steady inďŹ&#x201A;uence would be most helpful. When we hear calls to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defundâ&#x20AC;? the police what we are really hearing are anguished pleas for equal treatment; the kind of treatment a wise parent might provide when rules have been broken and competing desires are clashing. Perhaps as we consider ways to reorganize our 18,000 police departments we can seek to hire people who think of their fellow citizens as they would their children instead of strangers and we can train them to use restraint instead of force unless they are given no other choice.

This approach with police agencies might also work with our politicians.

We have already spent trillions trying to temporarily staunch the ďŹ&#x201A;ow of

Therefore, children should still be immunized on the CDCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommended schedule, and this should not be put oďŹ&#x20AC;. According to the CDC, regular vaccines protect children from 14 potentially serious diseases before their second birthday. Vaccinating children on time not only protects them but also anyone around them with a weakened immune system.

Learn how your provider is keeping the oďŹ&#x192;ce safe.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re nervous to visit your provider with your young child, ďŹ nd out the steps your doctor is taking to keep everyone safe.

Health care providers are all utilizing personal protective equipment like masks and gloves. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also enforcing strict hand washing rules and maintaining six feet of distance between patients. Although doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oďŹ&#x192;ces were already carefully sanitized before the COVID-19 pandemic, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking additional measures to deep clean between patients. Providers are doing everything they can to minimize risk.

Continue to do your part.

You can also help in keeping preventive visits as safe as possible by wearing a mask, maintaining six feet of distance between other patients, and washing your hands with warm water and soap for at least 30 seconds.

You should also ask yourself if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly critical for you to be seen by your provider.

If not, that saves your doctor from unnecessary exposure and allows them to care for higher-risk patients.

disease and despair. Maybe we could begin to incorporate the lessons and ideals of parenting into our treatment of one another. For example, would any loving parent place his or her knee on a child for eight minutes? Or would a parent simply give a child a small sum of money and tell them when thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good luckâ&#x20AC;??

Parental type love and discipline can be taught to and demanded of those who are sworn to serve us.

Such an approach might save lives and money and it would certainly be preferable to abuses of power and wasted resources. So, not for just one day, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to my Mother and Father and all those who think of others before themselves and show by example how that is done.

Only one month IT’S TIME FOR A NEW YOU... left to file taxes Tax Day is one month away, July 15, and an estimated 500,000 Hoosiers still need to file their individual income taxes, according to the Indiana Department of Revenue (DOR).

“We always advise individuals to avoid waiting until the last minute, especially if they are expecting a refund,” suggested DOR Commissioner Bob Grennes. “For the fastest service, customers should file electronically—not only are returns processed faster, but they are more accurate and secure.”

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the individual income tax season was extended from the traditional April 15 deadline to July 15 to allow customers more time to file and pay taxes owed. If an individual owes taxes, penalties and interest can be avoided by paying 90 percent of the tax owed by the July 15 deadline.

Additionally, individual estimated payments with deadlines of April 15 or June 15, 2020, are due on July 15.

Still need to file? The (INfreefile) program is still available to qualifying individuals to file their individual income taxes for free.

If an individual’s adjusted gross income was $69,000 or less in 2019, they may be eligible to use the free online software from DORcertified vendors.

More info on INfreefile may be found at www. freefile.dor.in.gov.
