By Dave Pearce Capital improvements at North Posey schools were put into high gear this week during a special school board meeting held on May 29, 2019 at the Metropolitan School District office.

ARC Construction was the big winner on the night as the board approved well over $2 million in contracts for the company.

However, it did not go off without questions from board member Vince Oakley.

North Posey School Supt. Dr. Todd Camp asked the Board to release Garmong Construction from their renovations bid at North Posey Junior and Senior High Schools, with no penalties, due to an error in their bidding process.

When it came time for a vote on recommendations by the school superintendent, Oakley indicated that he would like to have the individual items broken out separately for votes. The items were voted on individually.

At one point in the meeting, Oakley questioned the building of an undesignated “practice facility” between the current baseball concession stand and the high school footabll concession stand.

There are currently two tennis courts in that area.

Following the meeting, Oakley indicated that the superintendent had told him that “if North Posey waited for Vince Oakley to be satisfied that things had been well-planned, they board would never do anything.

Camp recommended the board accept the base bid for renovations to North Posey junior and senior high schools from ARC Construction totaling $1,830,000 with alternates 1 and 2 for $199,000 and $167,000 respectively for a grand total $2,196,000.

Camp also recommended the board accept the paving bid from J.H. Rudolph for $695,450.

Camp recommended the Board accept the base bid for Renovations to North Elementary and South Terrace from Garmong Construction totaling $895,160 with alternates 1 and 2 for $29,000 and $2,600 respectively for a grand total of $926,760.

Under the new business portion of the meeting, Camp asked the board to approve the request from North Elementary School Principal Shannon MacMunn to spend $7,125 of extracurricular funds to purchase Math and ELA licenses from Freckle. This includes a 14-month subscription starting June 1, 2019 to August 1, 2020. The request was unanimously approved..

George Link, with VPS, shared with the Board the results of the recent bid opening for the renovations to North Posey Junior/ Senior High School, renovations to North Elementary and South Terrace, and the paving projects for all. The bids included the following: Alternates: 1. Provide a price to construct the locker rooms on the north end of the fieldhouse/practice facility. The Base Bid shall be a shell with concrete floors and below-slab plumbing roughed in.

2. Provide a price to finish out the toilets, storage, and concessions on the south end of the practice facility as indicated.

Alternates: 1. Provide a price to renovate toilets at North Elementary School as indicated in the drawings.

2. Provide a price to replace the “vault door” with hollow metal frame and wood door at North Elementary School.

Camp asked the board to revisit the previously tabled bid items. During the May 1, 2019 meeting, the Board approved the

Harmonie Park under fun new management

By Lois Mittino Gray Lots of summer fun is in store at Harmonie State Park under the direction of a new management team, Park Manager Joseph “Joe” Compton and Assistant Park Manager Luke Fulford. Compton started in his position last November and now has one deer management hunt and his first busy holiday weekend under his belt. “Other than some minor glitches with credit card machines and the rain on Sunday, the Memorial Day weekend wasn’t too bad,” Compton said.

Fulford, who began his job just last month, said the park’s 200-site campground was full this past weekend, but it “went pretty smoothly after all.”

Both new administrators hail from the Hoosier state. Joe was born in Huntingburg and attended Heritage Hills High School. He earned a Bachelor Degree in Architecture from Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green.

He got his start in state parks by working summers when home from college at nearby Lincoln State Park doing “just about a little bit of everything.” After graduation, he worked as Assistant Manager at Lincoln for four and a half years, until he took the same job at McCormick’s Creek State Park for four months. Joe was promoted to Property Manager at Harmonie last fall and enjoys his new role saying, “I have loved state parks since I was a little kid. I enjoy getting to know the people in the area and my park visitors and I like

By Lois Mittino Gray Members of the New Harmony Town Council discussed the recent letter from FEMA informing town residents of at least another two years of waiting for flood remapping data to get floodplain insurance relief at its May 21, morning meeting. Councilman David Flanders presented a letter he wrote in response to that letter on May 9, 2019 to Christine Gaynes, Project Engineer, FEMA Region V in Chicago. The April 12 FEMA letter to the town invited town residents to turn in comments and questions.

Flanders’ letter was filled with many of them he asked both as a public official and as a homeowner required to buy floodplain insurance as a result of the 2014 FEMA map used.

“The initiative announced in your letter is an unexpected one. Over the last three years in particular, I and other residents have been awaiting the results of a recalibration of the base flood elevation for New Harmony, following the completion of coordinated efforts by the States of Indiana and Illinois to correctly and accurately measure water retention and flow on the Wabash River. We understood the data to be in hand and analyzed and were informed by representatives of the Indiana DNR that the recalibration would be completed promptly.

Three years later we get this letter instead,” he wrote.

Putting the pieces together ‘Bee Happy’ is far more than a term to describe a quilting group The Golden Years

(USPS 439-500)

By Pam Robinson Much closer than friends, the Bee Happy Quilters of Mount Zion General Baptist Church have stitched together a sisterhood that won’t unravel even when pulled by the ravages of time. Their vivid memories of their weekly Monday morning meetings since 2002 keep alive all the quilters within their circle—even those now departed.

At the onset, two Mount Zion members, Carla Sailer and Patty Lutton, enrolled together in a class to create a sampler quilt. With her quilt top pieced together, Patty called on more church women to appreciate and to practice the art of quilting. A circle formed to hand quilt Patty’s sampler top. Carla’s finished quilt served as inspiration.

Soon everyone in addition to Carla and Patty completed a sampler quilt of her own: Gerri Becker, Joann Wade, and Linda Happel, all except Evelyn McKinnies, content to quilt well with others. The women had known how to sew, but none of them had ever quilted until then.

Word traveled quickly about the quilters, especially with the help of the church bulletin. Former Pastor Rick Sellers pushed for a name to announce in print. He asked why the women quilted. Patty Lutton answered, “It makes us happy.”

Pastor Sellers then dubbed the group the “Bee Happy Quilters.”

Today, the quilters, age 62 and up, are Carla Sailer, Patty Lutton, Linda Happel, Zelma Holbrook, Paula Hodge, and Vera Davidson, and they continue the tradition of Monday morning meetings. Always over coffee and pastries, they speak with love and laughter about the good times with the late Gerri

Becker, the late Joann Wade, and the late Evelyn McKinnies.

These three women still meet on Mondays in spirit, their lives celebrated and their work admired.

At Joann Wade’s funeral, the Bee Happy Quilters displayed her legacy of quilts in the church foyer.

Together, the Bee Happy Quilters have mostly hand quilted or occasionally machine quilted 46 full-size quilts and 16 baby quilts since 2002. In 2004, the women added lap quilts, also known as lap robes, to their production. All created from donated fabric, the lap quilts warmed many residents (no count ever taken) of the nursing home in Poseyville initially. Later, the lap quilts were also presented as gifts to the nursing home residents in New Harmony (62) and Owensville (48).

A quilting we will go, or, Road Trip, part two

A T M B B R

For my recent road trip to Colorado, I made some very loose plans. Mostly, just head west, attend the graduation, and then head back east to Indiana. And stop whenever and wherever the mood struck.

So, upon leaving the airport late Saturday morning, we simply proceeded toward the west. We encountered no problems driving through Illinois, but construction slowed trafďŹ c to the point that it took 40 minutes to travel nine miles through eastern Missouri. We stayed in a Motel 6 that had recently been remodeled in Kingdom City, Missouri, being assigned a nice room on the ďŹ rst oor. We hadn’t been warned, though, that elephants were staying in the room above ours. No walking allowed in their room, apparently – stomping only at random times throughout the night. Not much sleep for Valerie and I!!

While eating that evening at the Denny’s adjacent to our hotel, a REALLY bad storm blew through just as we were getting ready to leave.

The lights dimmed three or four times, causing the computer/cash register to shut down.

They had to be restarted, so we waited about 10 minutes to pay. Not a problem, since it was POURING rain and major wind, and who wants to tramp across the parking lot in that! A semi-trailer overturned on the interstate next to the restaurant. Hopefully, the drive was unhurt.

There were lots of law enforcement vehicles and an emergency responder vehicle, but no ambulance. The truck was gone Sunday morning.

We ate at the local McDonald’s for breakfast. (I know – McDonald’s??? But you can get a decent, fairly healthy breakfast there, and I’m trying to eat well, OK??) Trees in a small park next to Micky D’s were blown down. This park

was in a direct line with the semi that overturned. Obviously, the wind was extremely strong. It’s much cooler today with the passage of the strong cold front last night.

After stopping at the Truman Presidential Museum in Independence, Missouri (more on that in a later column!), we stopped in Cameron, Missouri for the night. Asking the desk clerk for a good place to eat, she directed us to a local diner located “four stoplights down the street – just look for the Pizza Hut; it’s next door.� She was right. Home-cooked food, great service, lots of people eating out on a Sunday night!

On to WalMart, located next to the motel, to get candy bars (we’re on vacation, gotta have chocolate, OK?!?), a hair dryer (left mine in Mt. Vernon because all hotels have them, right?

Wrong – budget hotels do not. As my sister, who did bring hers, reminded me, â€œâ€Śwe’re staying at Stan and Carol’s house in Colorado,â€? so I really should have packed my own, hence, the trip to WalMart), and tea bags. We left the store with a box of cookies, candy bars, the hair dryer, and – no tea bags. Her fault, since the tea bags she wanted were the reason we stopped in the ďŹ rst place! I’ll use the bags provided by the hotel. They serve breakfast – yes! – so there will be tea bags there, as well, for me. I’m apparently not as picky as she is about my tea bags.

Now, nourished with breakfast provided by the hotel, we’re o to Missouri Star Quilt Company in nearby Hamilton, Missouri. To a quilter, this is pretty close to making a major life pilgrimage, I think. It’s all about how much fabric you can accumulate, right, ladies? Soon were looking at more than 30,000 bolts of fabric, along with hundreds of quilting patterns, quilt kits, and the world’s largest selection of precut quilting fabrics!

Oh, my goodness! The Quilt Company is, in reality, twelve dierent shops. Twelve. All within a two-block area. Talk about the ultimate

Tapping these energy deposits could support 730,000 American jobs and generate nearly $120 billion in cumulative tax revenues for the federal government over the next 20 years.

By opposing the infrastructure needed for oshore development, state lawmakers are kneecapping their local economies. And it’s not just our coastal states -- oshore development could help economies across the nation.

Energy companies have dramatically increased natural gas and oil production in recent years, while reducing their environmental footprint. Last year, we became the world’s top oil producer, surpassing Russia and Saudi Arabia, while reducing U.S. CO2 emissions from energy sources to twenty-ďŹ ve year lows.

The failure to develop oshore resources and invest in infrastructure doesn’t just

quilting experience! One shop was sort of an overview of the other eleven. In no particular order, there was a shop with only batiks (a design/print style), one with children’s prints, one with annel and woolen fabrics only, solid colors, licensed (think John Deere prints, or your favorite sports team), holidays, vintage, contemporary, and, of course, I can’t remember the rest! We were pretty much on sensory overload! Fabrics from here are most often found in pre-cut charm packs, layer cakes, and jelly rolls (nope, they’re not the kinds of food we were eating – they’re descriptions of the various pre-cut fabrics!), as well as fabric by the yard.

Whatever color or pattern you can even remotely imagine, it was probably in one of these shops! And, for the guys, there is a “Man’s Land,� complete with televisions and recliners, and a pool table, so the guys could indulge in their hobby while the ladies indulged theirs.

We both made a few purchases of fabric

and quilt patterns. Not many, though, actually (really!), as both of us will admit to having an adequate stash of fabric back home. (Can you ever have too much fabric?? I think not. Ask any quilter‌) After we ďŹ nally determined that enough was enough, we ate lunch at a small, local restaurant before deciding to head on out, adding more miles to the odometer of my car, heading further west to meet up with family and the celebration. That is, after all, the ultimate goal of this trip, right? Yes, and, kinda, sorta, maybe. This trip, like life, was all about the journey, the side trips along our paths, the excursions into the unknown, the happiness of ďŹ nding some special gem along the way. But we always move on, peeking around the next corner, the next curve of the road, the top of the next hill. Remember to never, ever stop moving forward, wherever you are traveling. Life’s journey. That’s all that matters.

Matt Hostettler, State Rep. Keep cyclists safe in our community

Let’s energize our infrastructure Up and down the East Coast, state lawmakers are ďŹ ghting the Trump administration’s eorts to allow natural gas and oil development in the Atlantic. These politicians recently adopted a novel tactic -- they’re blocking construction of onshore pipelines, terminals, and other energy infrastructure that would be needed to process oshore natural gas and oil.

Blocking energy infrastructure projects deprives workers of good jobs and weakens our energy and national security.

Energy infrastructure such as pipelines are also the safest, most reliable way to get energy from point A to point B -- energy that communities, families and businesses need to live their every day lives: driving to work, going to school, using their iPhones and cooking their dinner.

Immense energy wealth is expected to lie o America’s coasts. The Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) -- the submerged federal territory beneath the Arctic, Atlantic, and PaciďŹ c Oceans and the Gulf of Mex-

weaken the U.S. energy revolution -- it also compromises our access to reliable and affordable energy, national security and also slows down environmental progress.

Consider the political opposition to the Access Northeast pipeline, which would have transported aordable natural gas throughout much of New England. The project would have brought $3.2 billion in private investments to local communities, created new jobs, and saved New Englanders $1 billion a year by reducing electricity bills.

But the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled against the project in 2016, putting the entire region’s energy security at risk.

When temperatures dropped and energy demand skyrocketed, New Englanders had no way to access U.S.produced natural gas. In 2018 New Englanders turned to Russian liqueďŹ ed natural gas.

It makes no sense to rely on nations like Russia or Venezuela for our energy needs -especially when we have such immense natural gas and oil deposits available oshore.

America has been blessed with ample energy resources.

But that means nothing if we don’t develop our oshore resources and build the energy infrastructure needed to harness it.

As the weather warms and cyclists take to the roads, it is very important for drivers to be aware of their surroundings.

There were 783 bicyclists killed in traďŹƒc crashes in the United States in 2017, with many of these tragic deaths preventable.

To protect cyclists, legislators passed a new law requiring vehicles to move over for bike riders. A large percentage of crashes can be avoided if motorists and cyclists follow the rules of the road and watch out for each other.

Please be considerate of those in our community who ride their bikes. Cyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as people behind the wheel of a vehicle, so give them room, and do not pass too closely. Pass cyclists as you would any other vehicle — when it’s safe to move over into an adjacent lane.

Wendy McNamara, State Rep. Working to improve air quality in schools Over 50 percent of Indiana’s counties have dangerously high rates of radon gas, which is a naturally occurring, radioactive, odorless gas formed by radium decay in soil.

To help prevent students and school sta from being exposed to radon, I supported legislation requiring the Indiana State Department of Health to work with schools and provide important information to help better manage their air quality.

The ISDH has studied the dangers of

radon exposure and oers an air-quality manual for school oďŹƒcials to use when considering preventative measures. Since radon usually builds up in the foundation of homes and schools, testing the air quality is a simple and eective way to detect it.

To see if there are traces of radon in homes, at-home test kits are usually available at local hardware stores and cost about $20, or a professional inspection can be scheduled.

Guest Column: Lu Nelsen, Policy Associate U.S. wind energy generates more than $1 billion in tax revenue, payments The number of Americans receiving their electricity from renewable wind energy grew rapidly in 2018, with enough installed capacity to power more than 30 million homes, according to the 2018 American Wind Energy Association Annual Market Report.

With additional projects in development, total wind capacity in the U.S. is projected to grow to 131,000 megawatts, or enough to power about 42 million homes, and increase the percentage of energy that states receive from wind. By the end of last year, six states produced 20 percent of their electricity from wind, while others, like Iowa and Kansas, have exceeded 30 percent.

This development creates

new economic beneďŹ ts, especially for rural communities.

Landowners who host turbines receive annual land-lease payments, a reliable new source of income. Wind projects also generate new tax revenue for counties and states—an estimated $761 million each year - which helps support roads, schools, and other services while potentially removing burdens from other taxpayers. In total, the wind industry generates more than $1 billion between this new revenue and payments to landowners.

BeneďŹ ts also spread into the economy with more than 500 manufacturing facilities producing parts and equipment in 42 states. The wind industry has helped to employ

114,000 Americans, including 24,000 in manufacturing and assembly.

As we look to the future of clean energy, we must continue to improve the industry.

Developers should work with landowners and communities to identify and implement practices that limit impacts from construction or project operation. BeneďŹ ts should continue to ow to communities that host projects— whether that be the creation of local jobs, new tax revenue, or additional income for rural families.

Wind energy has already proven to create opportunity, and rural communities can continue to reap beneďŹ ts of clean energy.

Not So Bad After All but simply “fake newsâ€? whose agendas have a single minded mission to remove the President from oďŹƒce.

At coee shops and taverns throughout the United States one-time friends cannot carry on a respectful conversation. Even churches are choosing sides. In short, the last election drags into its third year and the next election is morphing into a mere continuation of the election past.Political pundits and politicians are donning sackcloth and ashes or arming themselves with skewers to assassinate the characters of those who

have the temerity to disagree with them. It ain’t good, folks. Are we falling apart?

No! We are practicing the democracy bequeathed to us on July 04, 1776. A healthy lack of respect for the opinions of others is our birthright. As long as we simply “suer the slings and arrowsâ€? and do not “take up arms to oppose themâ€? it is all as clanging brass and hollow threats.

Maybe we should step back, take a deep breath and see how another country, North Korea for example, handles allegations of treason.

North Korea was upset over the failed summit between Kim and President Trump to the point he imprisoned some of his negotiators and executed several others.

Thankful family was out of harm’s way

D M

B C P

Madeleine, I am not usually happy for my loved ones to be out of town, but considering the greatly infectious cold Grandpa “shared� with me this week, I am glad all of you were out of harm’s way.

Your father has a really horrible time with illnesses like this, so I would have really felt like a “typhoid Mary� if I had given it to him. The real Typhoid Mary denied being sick in early 19th century Ireland, and spread the disease to many wealthy families she worked for.

Grandpa is always having re-

spiratory things, and I personally rarely get anything, so, except for normal precautions, I didn’t think much about it when he was coughing, etc. On Wednesday, I felt like I had a little chest congestion, which was an odd way to have the ďŹ rst symptoms of a cold.

By Thursday, I knew it was time to go see Dr. Julie, and she decided it was hospital time. I also, at the same time, was having intestinal distress. It was very painful. I was already back home before I realized it was due to eating the new cauliower based pizza crusts. Not good for diverticulosis I guess.

So I really needed to get an antiobiotic-based IV drip. Of course, there was another good reason I went to the hospital. I was getting

undressed when the nurse found a tick on my middle back. It would have been there much longer until I found it. I gathered that they do not normally deal with tick removal, because it took her a long time to ďŹ nd proper tweezers, and she still thought that she didn’t get it all. Grandpa oered up his pocket knife, but she declined.

I had been out walking around the yard so it wasn’t there for days.

Then began the always arduous task of ďŹ nding a usable vein on my arms. I just expect the problem here; it has always been hard to do.

After about a dozen attempts, they ďŹ nally established an IV, and got blood.

Believe me, nothing about any of this time was funny. I was in ab-

dominal pain and could not breathe.

I could not eat, nor even sip water.

By noon on Friday, they decided I could do the remainder of my suffering at home. I felt like I had been there for days.

We have had way too many opportunities to stop by the front desk and say “Helloâ€? to our good friend, Judy Patton. I have had the opportunity to see the decor in the near-by gift shop change through all of the dierent holidays and seasons.

Again, I know that way too many folks have had to walk past Judy for much more serious reasons. I just am hoping we are done with visits for a while.

It is not unusual for sick folks to show up at hospitals in a state of dishevelment, but I could have passed

Action is required by SSA/RRB members Action is required by members who requested to have their premiums withheld by SSA/RRB in 2019. We want to notify you about an issue aecting all Medicare members who elected to pay plan premiums from their Social Security Administration (SSA) or Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) check.

Background: Normally, when members select this premium payment option, the SSA/RRB withholds funds from members’ SSA/RRB checks to cover their plan premiums. Unfortunately, due to a system issue, this did not occur for two or more months starting February 1, 2019. This issue aected all carriers.

Although the system issue is now ďŹ xed, the SSA/RRB cannot retroactively deduct premium payments from members’ checks.

What do members need to do? Because these members now have past-due

accounts, their premium payment method has changed to direct billing, eective February 1, 2019. This means they now need to pay any pastdue premium amounts to Aetna directly.

Member communication Members will receive a letter explaining what happened and what they need to do later this month. Letters are being mailed in waves, between May 10-24, so members will receive them over several weeks.

What happens next? IF YOU HAVE AETNA, the company has already submitted a new request to restart SSA premium deduction for the aected members, eective June 1, 2019. If the request is accepted by SSA, they will send members a letter of approval.

Please be aware this can take up to 90 days.

Please be aware that Social Security Administration (SSA) will only deduct future premiums from their Social Secu-

rity check as of the eective date noted in their approval letter, so any balances owed up until that eective date must be paid to Aetna directly. Members need to pay premiums directly to us for any months the SSA or RRB doesn’t cover.

While these members are not currently at-risk for termination due to nonpayment, they do need to begin making payments to ensure their plan does not face termination for nonpayment in the future. Encourage members to call us with any questions Although this issue was out of our control, we realize it will be an inconvenience for our members. If they have any questions, please call your Member Services by dialing the number on your member ID card regardless of the company you have. Read all correspondence from your company and pay any statements you receive from them.

Call Smart Retirement Solutions for help 812-457-7076.

for a vagrant. Jammie pants are not unusual, but a mismatched tee shirt, uncombed hair, no make-up, and so on, was a scary sight. My blue nails got lot of good comments, though.

Thanks, Connie, for giving me one nice looking part.

Remember the old joke about one’s mother saying to always be wearing clean underwear, in case of an accident? Well, besides all the rest, I wasn’t wearing any at all.

It will probably take me a few weeks to get my strength back, but as I have said way too many times, “It could be worse.�

Endless thanks for everyone’s good wishes on Facebook. That meant so much.

Hoping to spend the remainder of 2019 not being injured or sick.

K Note: The activities described by the Western Star of the past Memorial Day would have been scenes all citizens of Posey County would remember with patriotic pride forever.

Roll Answered By 22 Veterans - Twenty-two Civil War veterans answered the roll call as the thin line stood at parade rest at the Bellefontaine Cemetery Memorial Day morning, surrounded by the guardian hands of the Woman’s Relief Corps, the auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic. Many citizens were also present who wished to share in the tribute to the loyal dead. The usual addresses and songs formed a part of the program, at the conclusion of which an even more profound scene was held at the graves of the dead, which were marked by ags. Flowers were strewn on the mounds by children of the city under the supervision of the W. R. C. A most praiseworthy scene was the War Mothers in the line of march which inspired the returned World War Veterans to follow. These three formations, the War Mothers, the Civil War Veterans, and the soldiers of the World War, exacted much clapping of hands all along the line of march by the admiring throngs. The old cannon, in charge of Capt. Kirk took part in the parade, but was not ďŹ red to the fact that no powder could be secured.

Memorial Tablet For Service Men - Registered men of Posey County have been busy the past two weeks securing the names of every man who served in the service of Uncle Sam during the World War, or who is now in service. These names are being turned over to Martin Smith, who is having made a large tablet, on which will be placed the name of every man from this county

National and Local News 100 Years Ago News From The Western Star, June 4, 1919 - Mount Vernon

who saw service in this war.

The tablet will be placed in the ďŹ rst oor corridor of the Court House, will be about seven feet high and ďŹ fteen feet long, and will forever be a memorial to those who participated in the great struggle.

Editorial: Peace Treaty Talks At Versailles - It is unfortunate for the critics of the Peace Treaty that they can not agree in their criticism.

They may be divided into two groups and their complaints and conclusions are as wide apart as the poles. Obviously both can not be right.

One group says the treaty is too “soft.� The other group says the Germans have been punished too harshly. What most people want is justice somewhere in the middle of these two extremes sides.

Big Game Takes Place July 4 - At last it has been decided. The big baseball game between the Court House gang and the Mount Vernon Business Men will take place on July 4, on the West Side diamonds, according to a local merchant. No “dope� will be let out by either side, but that the game will be warmly contested is an assured fact owing to the rivalry existing between the two factions.

Elks’ Big Fair Now In Progress - Just as had been previously predicted, the Elks’ big fair which is being held this week at their Home, would be a hummer has been proven. Col. Ike Rosenbaum is chairman, and is assisted

by George Green and Carl Schwenzer.

News Briefs And Personals - Showboat - Dixie Engle, advanced agent of the Goldenrod showboat, was here Monday “billing� the city for Emerson’s big vaudeville show, that night.

Soldiers Coming Home Gus Kirk, our former porter, is awaiting his honorable discharge at Camp Taylor, Ken-

tucky. Gus has been stationed in Washington, D. C., where he acted as chaueur for the U. S. Army oďŹƒcers. Sgt. Raymond Oliver, Mechanic Stanley Rhodes, Beuford Chambers, and Thomas Reese all have returned Friday from France. Born - Born to Mr. and Mrs. Louis Hauptman Monday, a twelvepound daughter. Marriage License - Arthur Seifert and Rose Becker. Monster Cat Fish - Ben Schaer, a ďŹ sherman at Uniontown, last week caught a channel-cat that lacked one inch of being ďŹ ve-feet in length, weighing 110 pounds. Visits - Mr. And Mrs. Percy Brite called on Mr. and Mrs. Chris Morlock Sunday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Fred. Roedel of Evansville, spent Friday afternoon with Mr. and Mrs. Adam Bayer. Marriage - Location Robinson Township - Miss Amelia Huber was united in marriage to Pvt. Jacob Reisinger, who had been in the military service. A Call - Frank Cartwright of R. R. 4, gave us a pleasant call Saturday.

Mount Vernon News 125 Years Ago, June 4, 1894 Our city is now connected by telephone with Marrs Township, John Schisler having placed one in his saloon for the beneďŹ t of his patrons.

A party consisting of Mrs. Gus Kunz and daughter, Mary, Mrs. John Leel and daughters, Daisy and Minnie, Misses Nellie Jones and Anna Hancock, Mrs. William Melton, and Cash Breeze left Monday night on the steamer Nesbit for a trip up the Tennessee River. Twenty-two graduates of Mount Vernon High School received their diplomas at the commencement exercises Thursday night. Marriage Licenses - William Carnahan and Harriett Williams; Frank McMichael and Josie Wright; John Schisler and Mallie Farmer.

Delayed planting means tough decisions Persistent rain across Indiana continues to delay spring planting for Indiana’s farmers.

As the rain continues, the possibility of fields left unplanted becomes a reality and Indiana’s farmers and agribusiness professionals are faced with many tough decisions. Indiana Farm Bureau, the largest general farm organization in the state, spoke with farmers across the state about the complications surrounding this year’s unprecedented planting season.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s May 28 report, only 22% of Indiana’s corn crop and 11% of its soybean crop has been planted. Typically at this time, 85% of the corn crop and 63% of the soybean crop would be in the ground.

This delay in planting is the result of consistent rain across the state. In most areas, the soil has not had adequate time to dry, meaning farmers have not seen the conditions necessary to plant. While most of the Midwest is experiencing delayed planting, recent reports showed that Indiana is the furthest behind.

Don Lamb of Lamb Farms, Inc. in Lebanon, Indiana, who has approximately 10% of his crops planted, said that this truly is an unprecedented spring for Indiana farmers.

“My dad has been a farmer for more than 50 years and he has never experienced this,” said Lamb.

Bob Bishop of Bishop Farms in Leesburg, Indiana, who is more than halfway done with planting this year, echoes this statement.

Bishop has been farming since 1972 and says while he’s experienced some very wet springs, he’s always seen conditions improve in May. With June comes many deadlines and tough decisions. If planting continues into June, the crops will have a shorter growing season than ideal, and farmers will be forced to deal with many potential complications. This is particularly true for corn. For some, that simply means switching their seeds out for a shorter season hybrid. Bishop says he is already in the process of making that adjustment.

“I already sent back the 114-day corn to get some shorter season stuff,” he explained.

“The next hybrid we have is 111 day, but I’m thinking about getting 108 or 99-day corn.”

June also brings deadlines for filing for prevented planting crop insurance. Insured farmers have the opportunity to file an insurance claim if they’re unable to plant some or all of their land due to weather.

“At Farm Bureau, we worked hard to advocate for a Farm Bill that would maintain crop insurance and we’re thankful that crop insurance remains an option for Indiana’s farmers,” said Randy Kron, INFB president. “It’s going to be critical this year.”

Alternately, in order to qualify for the current administration’s trade aid, farmers will only receive financial assistance on the land that they attempt to plant this spring. However, farmers have very few details about this aid package at this time, leaving them with much uncertainty as they weigh their options moving forward.

For some—especially the farmers who have yet to begin planting—utilizing these services may be the most economical option, but for others, they’re determined to finish planting the crop at all costs.

John Carnahan of Carnahan and Sons in Vincennes, Indiana says they have no intention of leaving any ground unplanted. They say even if their yields this fall are far below their average, they still expect a planted crop to bring in more money than reliance on insurance would.

“We can make more on three quarters of the crop than we could through our insurance, so it’s really not an option for us,” he explained.

“We are going to get it in the ground. We won’t let it go unplanted.”

Bishop explains that even if fields are left unplanted this year, they still require maintenance.

“You’ve got to do something with it in the summer or you’ll have a heck of a weed problem later,” he said. “There are a few options but they’ll cost money to do.”

When the skies do break and farmers are able to continue planting, they will be in a rush to complete the job. Lana Wallpe, who farms in Fowler, Indiana described a recent scenario where she and her husband, Steve, worked into the early morning on a day that allowed them access to their fields.

“There’s a lot of talking with God and staying up until 1:30 in the morning to get your crop in.”

The effects of this planting season could be detrimental to an already strained agriculture industry. While not ideal, most farmers do have several options awaiting them, but for many agribusiness professionals, that is not the case.

“There are a lot of ramifications for the ag industry, as much or even more than for individual farmers,” said Lamb. “I am thankful that there are insurance options for us but they’re not available for everyone.”

Lamb is referring to the many agribusiness professionals who rely on a productive farming season as a core part of their business.

Jeff Demerly is the owner of Demerly Ag Plus, a seed dealership and agronomy service in Wolcott, Indiana. For Demerly, and the many other seed dealers and small agribusinesses across the state, a spring with less seeds planted means a less profitable year.

If a farmer is not able to plant a bag of seed that is purchased, it can be returned to the dealer. The dealer would then return that seed to the manufacturer if there is no other demand for the product.

“If I send back a bag of corn, I don’t get credit for that from a sales perspective,” said Demerly. “Let’s say worst case scenario no more than 30% of my seeds are planted, that means 70% of my business is in jeopardy.”

Seed dealers aren’t the only businesses in jeopardy. If farmers are not able to get the majority of their crop in the ground this year, other agribusinesses, from retail to processing, will feel the strain of an underproductive farm economy.

“It’s the small mom and pop ag businesses that are supporting your community that are in jeopardy,” said Demerly. “If things don’t turn around, it’s the self-employed ag entrepreneur that’s not going to be able to invest back into the economy.”

Beyond agriculture, adjacent businesses, such as steel and fuel, also are starting to feel the effects.

“The concerns are real for Indiana’s rural communities,” said Kron. “What our farmers feel now, the rest of our communities feel later. But if we can get more of our crop in the ground over the next couple of weeks, we can minimize the negative effects of this planting season.”

One glimmer of hope comes in the form of higher corn prices and many farmers are taking advantage of those prices by selling some of what they have remaining from last year’s crop. However, if the price of corn continues to increase, that could have negative effects on livestock operations that use the corn for feed.

“Farmers are in a tough place right now and are faced with many unknowns, but they’re exceptional business men and women and they’re optimistic by nature,” said Kron.

“You have to be the eternal optimist to be a farmer. Who knows what the rest of the year is going to bring,” added Carnahan. “We could get plenty of rain once the crop is in and still have a decent year.”

Poisonous Plants Pervade: by Hans Schmitz Driving down the road the other day, a roadside sea of white flowers well above the roof of the truck shaded the road partially.

Poison hemlock is now well in bloom, rounding out its biennial lifecycle. Likewise, poison ivy and wild parsnip are thriving this time of year. Meanwhile, scouts are monitoring the state for any signs of giant hogweed. Plants exist that can kill you or your pets. Knowing how to avoid them is secondary to knowing how to eradicate them.

The only native of the plants mentioned above is poison ivy.

Contact with the urushiol oil on the plant results in rashes on some susceptible individuals. Burning these plants will create aerosols that can internalize the reaction resulting in breathing problems that could kill. The general rule “Leaves of three, let it be” applies here, although adherents will inadvertently avoid some look-alike plants, notably boxelder seedlings. Control of the poison ivy plant is relatively easy. The plant is growing vigorously this time of year, and spot treatment with herbicides works well. Control becomes more difficult later in the season, when the plant struggles a bit more amid diseases of its own.

The skin reaction on poison ivy is human specific, and goats will actually munch on ivy when presented as a food source. Poison oak and poison sumac do exist in some spots in this area but are much less prevalent than ivy.

Poison hemlock has become much more common in southwestern Indiana over the last decade. The plant was famously used to kill Socrates many years ago as punishment for corrupting the youth. Hemlock exhibits a biennial growth pattern, meaning it produces leaves the first year and flowers and seeds the second

year. For this reason, recognizing the rosette and controlling in year one or early year two before the white flowers emerge is essential. Mowing is an option for plants already in flower, but new plants will emerge and monitoring is important. Every part of this plant is poisonous to ingest. Additionally, some individuals do get a rash from contact with leaves, although that reaction is relatively rare. When observed, the more likely culprit is contact with wild parsnip, a yellow-flowered relative that causes phytophotodermatitis, literally “plant light skin problem.” Contact with the plant leaves a residue that causes chemical-like burning of skin when exposed to sunlight. For hemlock, the positive identification comes from observing purple speckling or streaking on the stem of the plant. For wild parsnip, the yellow flower arranged in an umbel on a 3 to 5 foot tall plant is fairly unique.

Giant hogweed has not been observed in this region, but

northern Indiana and Illinois have encountered this weed. The plant is very large, up to twenty feet tall, with large lobed leaves, stems up to four inches in diameter, and a large white seed head in an umbel. New York Sea Grant refers to a case of hogweed making poison ivy seem like a mild itch. To become ill from this plant, one has to come into contact with the sap from the stem or from crushing any other part of the plant. The affected area will become sensitive to UV light, and sunlight will then cause lesions and blisters. The affected area may be sensitive to sunlight for years afterward. Rubbing one’s eyes after contact with sap may result in blindness. Control of this plant requires multiple herbicide applications due to the strength of the root system.

‘Golden Years’ continued from Page A1 busy, they purchased a second quilting frame in 2008. Again, Carla Sailer and Patty Lutton took the lead and assembled it with the help of Carla’s grandson, Taylor. “About the time we think we won’t get any more quilts, another one comes in,� Carla states. Both quilting frames are usually in use.

As with the lap quilts, the Bee Happy Quilters create work for themselves as well.

This past Mother’s Day, they passed out one quilted hotpad to every mother present

in Sunday service. The quilters’ productivity and creativity are surpassed only by their generosity.

The new addition to Mount Zion General Baptist Church stands as the greatest testimony to the women’s cheerful giving. Built 3 ½ years ago, the addition includes a new basement for all Sunday school rooms and additional meeting rooms as well as a new fellowship hall with adjoining kitchen, a foyer, and two bathrooms.

God has blessed the small

country congregation, averaging 70 each Sunday, for stepping out in faith on this building project. The quilters note the church owes only $5,000 in payments now.

The Bee Happy Quilters have helped with the debt relief. They did their part and matched pledges one time up to $1,000 for the building fund.

Now, they proudly welcome visitors to the basement for a peek at their permanent quilting room, the only real room of their own

COMMUNITY CHURCH MOVIE NIGHT Join us for a free dinner and movie night Friday, June 7 at Mount Vernon Community Church- Black’s Chapel UMC.

they’ve ever had. In 2002, they started out in the previous Sunday school nursery, clearing out everything each week to make room for the babies on the Sabbath. When Carla needed to help care for her infant grandson, the quilters met at her house, beginning in 2007. There, they have watched Carla’s grandson, Johnathon, grow up until a month ago with the move to the church.

As they build their bank account again, the Bee Happy Quilters know they might help the church with any number of projects. They might help install an elevator or place siding on the original church building to match the siding on the new addition. They might get behind paving the parking lot or purchasing a new church van.

As always, they will help out with church missions, too.

There’s enough Lord’s work to keep the Bee Happy Quilters in stitches, it would seem, until He comes again.

Sermon of the Week: Matthew 13:9 Brother Tom Matthew 13:9 (KJV) 9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

I’m sure you’ve heard the old saying, “You have two ears and one mouth, so listen twice as much as you talk�.

The problem is that so much of the time we fail to really listen. So often we want to talk before the other person ďŹ nishes a sentence. Often as we

listen our mind is a thousand miles away and we never really hear what is being said.

Jesus really said, “Who has ears to hear, let him hear�.

People are misunderstood, hurt, become angry, impatient, and resentful when they fail to listen. Communication is the key to understanding and good communication begins with two ears that are listening and one mouth that is silent.

Without good listening skills many friendships are broken, road blocks are built, and genuine success fails. How can I become a good listener?

First, make a conscience decision to pay attention. If you are going to communicate with another person give them your full attention. Don’t think about what you are going to say next. Don’t attempt to ďŹ nish their sentence. You will never hear what is being said if your mind is not ďŹ xed on the speaker.

Second, listen to understand. Don’t get the idea that you know what the other person is talking about. Their idea may be completely dierent than yours. When you listen to understand new avenues of communication will open to you. When you listen to understand you will experience real meaning and feeling in what is being said. Don’t think

that you already understand what is being said. Listen to understand!

Third, listen to what is not being said. That’s right! Too often we have our minds set on what we think and we fail to hear what is not being said.

Many times we want to take what is not being said as the real information. We have missed the point of the communication because we were already ďŹ xing the problem in our mind and we heard what was not being said.

This is exactly what Jesus was talking about. We have ears to hear but we fail to listen. God’s Word is the truth that we need to hear but so often we fail to listen to God. We want to tell God what He is saying. When we fail to listen to God and others we ďŹ nd ourselves not knowing or understanding that which is happening. Good listening skills will help us overcome problems, ďŹ nd correct answers, and move forward even in diďŹƒcult times. God knew what He was doing when He gave us two ears and one mouth. We need to be swift to hear and slow to speak (James 1:19).

I have prayed for you this morning. I have prayed that we learn to listen to God and others.

N Willingness to work where needed pays off in 47-year career THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS - PAGE A9

JUNE 4, 2019

By Pam Robinson Upon completing coursework at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Carmi native Mike Upton needed a job. He recalls his wife, Patricia, opened the paper and spotted the want ad for a bookkeeper at JL Farm Equipment in Poseyville. He applied, interviewed, and hired in to launch his first career at age 24. That was 47 years ago—February 2, 1972.

On Thursday, May 30, he and his co-workers at JL Farm Equipment shared a meal to honor his retirement. Friday, May 31, was Mike Upton’s last day of work—at least for awhile. “I’m going to continue to work here part time once in a while as they need help,” he says.

Upton moved up from bookkeeper to store manager to service manager to part manager—“wherever I was needed,” he explains.

“I haven’t worked in accounting for several decades.” Retiring as parts manager, he may work part time more often than he thinks. After 47 years in one place of employment, he admits, “It’s a little bit of a strain leaving all these people. . .I hate to leave. There comes a time, you’ve just got to do it.”

Upton pays a warm with for 35 years. They’ve tribute to the people he’s become more than coworked for and with. “I’ve workers.

I lived in Carmi “I’m going to miss working with people in town and wind up working in a farm busi[here]. Some of the people I’ve actually worked ness. I had to learn everything, you know. Cus-

tomers took their time and helped me learn. It’s just a wonderful experience to get to do something that you really go out and enjoy and still make a living at it. That, to me, is phenomenal,” he reflects.

Within a couple of years as an employee at JL Farm Equipment, Upton moved to Poseyville (circa 1974) Three or four years later, he and his family put down roots in Cynthiana, their home now.

Mike and Patricia Upton have been married 50 years. Their family includes two daughters and four grandchildren.

In retirement, Upton will continue to enjoy long-held hobbies. He and Patricia love to hike, primarily in the Rocky Mountains at Glacier National Park. Upton is an amateur photographer as well and appreciates capturing spectacular scenic views on film.

“We’re going to do a little bit of traveling,” he comments about retirement with Patricia, “and just play it by ear from there.”

Most likely, Upton will still hear some of the sweetest music in his part-time hours at JL Farm Equipment.

sultant with expertise in this area “to give us understanding on the process and remapping.”

They agreed that the cost of an engineering firm should be looked into, with a quote brought back to the council in June.

Nathan Maudlin, a local attorney in the audience, commented on hiring a consultant during Open Forum. “I am glad to hear you want to find more information to retain an expert. I was involved in trying to get FEMA to redo the report based on false information and poor data.

Some of you on the council can remember that attempt. Anyway, we didn’t get anywhere with it, mainly because we didn’t ask in time. So as not to get caught off guard this time, I think it’s a good idea. We need an expert to tell us when to make comments. I think it would be well

erty the night before the meeting. Closing is set for June 22. “I see no reason not to move forward. Everything looks good to our specifications,” President Blaylock noted. Councilman Flanders inquired as to where the money will go upon payment. Blaylock said that by ordinance, it must go into the school fund. From there, the town council can appropriate into another account. “We get to decide what to do with the money, after it is deposited into the school fund,” Blaylock explained.

• In department reports, Councilwoman Virginia Alsop reported that all the street paving on the Community Crossings Grant is now complete. She thanked everyone who helped with mulching the Playtopia playground. “We got a lot done that day, even though it was a very hot day, and it was great. I appreciated it,” she commented.

• Councilman David Flanders announced that the Solid Waste District meeting would take place later that morning, all town monthly financial reports are posted now on the website, and he thanked members of the Garden Club of New Harmony for planting spring flowers around the public places in town. “I especially want to thank Tom Stahl for that burst of daffodils by the welcome sign,” he remarked.

• Blaylock reported that there have been a couple of water leaks that are now fixed. Memorial Day is coming up and he thinks Maple Hill Cemetery is in “pretty good shape” with mowing, especially considering all the recent rains.

• President Blaylock was asked if there is a plan to do landscaping around the new Dollar General Store. He replied, “Yes, they are waiting on things to dry out.”

• In other town matters, it was noted that several lawns haven’t been mowed at all and the grass is very high. Blaylock said a list is being made.

• Flanders brought up that, “Several residents in my neighborhood have taken note of increased unleashed dogs and increased amount of dog excrement.” Blaylock said that he, too, has noticed more free roaming dogs around town. “We need to inform people that we have an ordinance against that,” he said. A patron had the last laugh of the meeting when she told the audience she took a dog’s dropping that recurred in the same place on her property, put it in a plastic bag with a note, “Your dog’s business is not welcome here,” and it worked.

‘FEMA’ continued from Page A1 Frustration at waiting a minimum of another two years was evident in the questions and why the delay? What types of data still needs to be collected and used? How were the 2014 models used deficient in data? Why do they want to do 41 more stream stretches analyses? Must they all be completed to give New Harmony an answer? What is the timetable? What provisions and when will you allow for public comment?

These are just some examples of many of the questions asked in the two page letter.

Residents were told years ago that over 200 homes may be taken out of the floodplain with new data and that would mean the expensive flood plain insurance would not be required, especially on new mortgages.

‘Park’ continued from Page A1 learning about the property.”

Luke is a native Hoosier from Bloomington and attended Bloomington South High School.

He graduated from Indiana State University with a degree in Recreation and Sport Management in May 2018. He, too, worked for the DNR while in college, doing an internship at Raccoon Lake State Park. After graduation, he went on to work for Paynetown State Recreation Area in security before arriving to work at Harmonie.

“Reservoirs and recreation areas differ from state parks in many ways. Reservoirs have more ground to cover and allow hunting and offer much fishing. Parks have a more centralized location to cover and they are more hectic and busy. They both have different procedures on how to run and do things,” Luke observed. “But I knew what I was getting into and the job is just great.”

Both men live in houses on the property. Joe is a bachelor and Luke is engaged. He spends time with his Sharpei-Beagle mix dog named Branch, who he describes as “an adventurous runner that loves every mud puddle he can find.”

This summer, swimmers using the Olympicsized pool will find the changing rooms/pool house refurbished with new paint, tiles and LED fixtures. Bath rooms in the campground and the Nature Center are spruced up with new roofing. This fall, the park’s eleven cabins will be re-stained and work will be done to repair the wood bee damage.

Park employees plan to slowly tackle trail repairs, like the broken bridge on trail two, and the constant onslaught of invasive species, such as the Autumn Olive, Phragmites, and Bush Honeysuckle. “Controlling the roadside exotic species is a monumental task. They didn’t get that way overnight and we can’t solve the problem overnight, either,” Joe explained.

Planned events include “Jammin’ on the Wabash” on June 8 with the Shade Tree Players,

the Annual Luau on July 13, Smokey Bear’s 75th Birthday on August 9, Harvest Craft Fair on September 28, and the ever-popular Halloween Weekend Fun on October 19, followed by Trunk or Treat the next Saturday, October 26.

Presently, Compton is finalizing plans with the Friends of Harmonie State Park to dedicate the education pavilion that the support group funded in the campground. It will take place sometime in July.

“I use it every day,” said Park Naturalist Amelia Wildeman, a familiar face around the park.

Through financing from the Friends group, she will offer a free three-day Wildlife Adventures Summer Camp for kids entering grades 6,7,8 on June 24 through June 26. She will also provide her usual full schedule of nature education activities, poolside chats, and night hikes. She is working right now on a new night hike called “Night Lights” focusing on bioluminescence and Say’s Firefly lore. Her unusual “Turkey Vulture Weekend”, complete with simulated foul bird spitting contests, is a popular event of Father’s Day Weekend on June 15.

The new Property Manager feels the park has a strong volunteer host program. Host campers sign up for a minimum two week stay and get free camping in exchange for doing light restroom cleanup and helping guests out with information. “Right now, I am in good shape for June and July, but I could use some volunteers for August and September. October is already full up,” he remarked. Anyone wishing to try a stint at hosting can call at the Park Office.

The new dynamic duo invite park enthusiasts to come out, relax, and enjoy all the park has to offer this summer. On the day Luke interviewed for the job, Joe saw a coyote, two eagles down by the river, and a bobcat. “That was a really good day,” he said with a big smile.

The total for both is $69,032. The board approved the motion unanimously.

Also in Open Forum, Sue Krozel invited everyone to attend the WMI library lecture series that night featuring Bradley Smith from Nature Conservancy. “His area of expertise is the Lower Wabash and his talk will be centered on it. I encourage all of you to come to get some free information from a professional,” she invited.

In other council action: • The council unanimously passed Salary Ordinance 2019-2 giving all employees varying raises. Becky Harvey and Brian Strader received a seven percent raise to $16 per hour.

John Gates received an eight percent raise, taking him up to sixteen dollars per hour, too. Erik Janick was given an eleven percent raise that will take him to $15 per hour. Bobby Grider received a four percent raise taking his hourly rate as Maintenance Supervisor to $26.50 per hour.

Town Marshal Aaron Straub received an eight percent raise to $1,658.25 payable semimonthly, totaling $3316.50 per month. The present town marshal salary ordinance had to be changed, as it currently states that no more than $3,200 per month is allowed to be paid out from the General Fund for his salary. It will be amended to read $3,500 maximum.

• President Blaylock opened three bids for street paving on sections of West, North, Tavern, and Granary Streets, using this year’s Community Crossings Grant funds. The first was from E and B Paving Inc. for $160,980.

David Enterprises Inc. of Evansville bid a figure of $167,333 and Lupfer Equipment Paving LLC of Cynthiana bid $168,907. All insurances are in place. The three bids were looked at and compared by the attorney and after approval was granted, the council voted to give the contract to low bidder E and B Paving.

• President Blaylock said the town owns three zero turn mowers and were looking into buying a new one, as the third one is in really bad shape. “Since we won’t have to mow the school now, it was determined that two should be sufficient and we would like to put it up for disposal to sell on a bid process as is. The dealers won’t take it as a trade-in anyway, they don’t want it and it’s no use just having it sitting around,” he said. It was approved to advertise as excess equipment and sell as is.

• Under Old Business, the council accepted the purchase agreement submitted by Erik Arneson’s attorney on the former school prop-

Viking baseball runs out of steam in regional final

By Chris Morlan The North Posey Vikings played in their second regional trip in two consecutive years last Saturday. This years’ regional was played at League Stadium in Huntingburg. North Posey played the first game of the regional against Lanesville and won by the score of 7-5. The

Vikings advanced to play in the regional championship against the Southridge Raiders. These two schools met back on April 16 and the Vikings won 9-0. This was a whole new ballgame in the Regional Final. Southridge played a great game and beat North Posey by the final score of 5-1.

Vikings take sectional crown

By Dave Pearce North Posey sophomore pitcher Kyle LaVanchy set the tone early during Monday evening’s 19-0 sectional title game win over Perry Central in Rockport. But the youngster had all kinds of help, both offensively and defensively, as the Vikings brought home their second straight Sectional title.

In the opening stanza, LaVanchy struck out the leadoff hitter before walking the next batter. It was then he learned that if he threw strikes, the defense was going to do a job behind him.

And they did.

With one on and one out, the third Perry Central batter appeared to have a wellplaced hit between the left and center fielders. But leftfielder junior Reid Smith had

There were a few players who will be playing baseball at the next level someday soon. Southridge’s Tucker Schank committed to play baseball at Indiana University. Raider star Camden Gasser committed to play at the University of Michigan next season. North Posey ace pitcher Shane Harris signed to play baseball at the University of Louisville. Colson Montgomery from Southridge along with Kyle LaVanchy and Camden Bender are a few under-classmen that will most likely play college ball in the future.

Southridge 5, North Posey 1: Camden Bender led off the game with a double. Shane Harris hit a single. Chase Christie hit a fielder’s choice and Bender scored to give the Vikings

a 1-0 lead. Kyle LaVanchy pitched for the Vikings and looked good in the bottom of the first inning. Southridge scored two runs in the bottom of the second inning to take a 2-1 lead.

The Vikings struggled to get anything going in this game. The Raiders scored another run in the bottom of the fourth inning to extend their lead at 3-1. At the top of the sixth inning, Reid Smith hit a single. Then the next three North Posey batters all struck out. Southridge scored two more runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to lead 5-1. The Vikings had one last inning to get back in the game and the Vikings came up

Lady Wildcat softball celebrates

The Mount Vernon High School girls softball team hosted their annual softball banquet on May 30 to wrap up their amazing season. The Cats said goodbye to five senior players, Brooklyn Gibbs, Megan Ghrist, Gabi Gilpin, Addie Robinson and Jaycie Tucker, as well as senior manager, Tobi Clark. The Cats had much to celebrate. The dinner was held at the high school cafeteria and after eating the girls were presented with individual awards. Megan Ghrist received the offensive award. Jaycie Tucker received the defensive award. Brooklyn Gibbs earned the MVP award.

Named to All-Conference were Gibbs and Ghrist for the fourth time, and Tucker for the first time.

Gibbs was also selected by the Indiana Coaches of Girls’ sports to the All-State softball first team. Gibbs is the first Mount Vernon softball player to receive this honor. Gibbs has also been selected to play in the North-South All-Star den Bender went one-for-five with a run games in Bloomington on July 22. Gibbs is the second Lady batted in and a stolen base. Reid Smith Cat to have earned this honor joining Mount Vernon Alum went one-for-three with a run scored and Ellen Denning (2016). a walk. Gaige Kihn went one-for-three with a run scored and a walk. Jarrett Motz went one-for-four at the plate with a run scored. Owen Spears went one-forfour with a run scored and a run batted in. Dalton Cox walked once and had an RBI.. Spears got the win on the mound.

Spears pitched four-and-one-third innings and gave up four hits, five runs, four walks and four strikeouts. Hunter Alkire pitched one-and-two-thirds innings and surrendered one hit, no runs, no walks and no strikeouts. Lavanchy pitched one inning and gave up no hits, no runs and no walks.

‘Vikings win sectional’ continued from Page B1 self. The senior slid head-first into home plate as the throw came to the catcher and Motz had an inside-thepark grand slam, which was officially ruled a triple with a fielding error.

However, with his speed, even had the ball been fielded cleanly, it is doubtful he would have been thrown out at the plate. At that point, the Vikings owned a 5-0 lead.

Jake Will then drew a walk and advanced on a wild pitch before Dalton Cox was issued a free pass. And the Vikings were back to the top of the order.

With the Perry Central pitcher struggling to find the strike zone, Bender and LaVanchy walked back-to-back and Will scored.

A pitching change was in order and Harris greeted the new pitcher with a 2-run single and the Vikings were ahead 8-0. Christie then singled in the ninth run of the inning before the Commodores found a ground ball and made the play to end the inning.

LaVanchy seized the moment and while the Commodores were down, he struck out the side in the second inning.

The Vikings continued to hit the ball well in the second inning as Kihn dou-

bled to lead off the inning. Motz flied deep to center and the Vikings could not bring another run in. They still led 9-0 after two.

LaVanchy got into a little trouble in the top of the third when a Viking error led to a baserunner. A check-swing single then was placed almost perfectly down the third base line and the Commodores had two on with one out.

Again it would be Smith to make the big defensive play as a shot to deep left field was caught by Smith and he hit the relay man perfectly and the runner, trying to score from third, was obviously out. But another walk loaded the bases before LaVanchy got out of the inning on an infield fly.

The Vikings could not generate a run in the third despite a single from Bender. He stole second before the bats stalled and the Vikings still held the 9-0 lead after three full innings.

After LaVanchy hit the lead-off man in the fourth, a fielders choice, an infield catch by Kihn, and a strikeout got the Vikings out of that inning and the Vikings put the final stamp on the game in the bottom of the fourth.

Smith led off with a had-hit single

and Logan Wunderlich came in as a pich runner. A pick-off attempt went awry and Wunderlich wound up at third. Kihn grounded out before Motz ripped an RBI single. Cameron Tepool, who has made the most of his offensive opportunities so far this season, came as a pinch hitter and lined a double over the center fielder’s head, scoring two more and the Vikings led 11-0.
