Evansville man arrested for local robbery

Scott Smith

By Dave Pearce An Evansville man will be a guest in the Posey County Jail for the foreseeable future after he was arrested Friday evening and charged with bank robbery.

According to Posey County Chief Sheriff’s Deputy Tom Latham, it happened just after noon Friday at the First Federal Savings on St. Philips Road, which is near the VanderburghPosey County line.

According to Latham, Smith parked his blue Volvo SUV in the center of the bank’s parking lot and then entered the bank, wearing only sunglasses as a disguise.

He told tellers to hand him money and specified that he wanted a particular quantity of hundreds, twenties, tens, fives, and ones.

“After obtaining the money, he simply turned around and walked out,” Latham said. “After talking with some of his acquaintances, he apparently had told them that

Local law enforcement work at the scene of a robbery at the First Federal Savings Bank on St. Philips Road near the Vanderburgh-Posey County line. Photo by Theresa Bratcher he intended to go and rob a bank.”

Latham indicated that while there was no crash involved, Miller’s vehicle did run another vehicle off the roadway as he made his way away from the scene and back into Vanderburgh County.

Latham indicated the vehicle and the get-away car were clear on the bank’s surveillance video and that word of the robbery and the get-away car spread quickly among area law enforcement, particularly in Evansville.

Evansville officers indicated

they believed they recognized the description of the vehicle and that a vehicle matching that description had been seen on Morgan Avenue a few minutes before.

Police questioned some known acquaintances of the man they suspected, based on the banks tape and prior arrest records.

Within a couple of hours, police located the suspect at Vann Apartments in Evansville. Smith was in the apartment with two females. The females left the apartment and Smith told police he

Cynthiana Town Hall gets heated over abandoned vehicles ordinance

By Dave Pearce One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

Nowhere was that more apparent than at the Cynthiana Town Hall meeting on Wednesday evening as Cynthiana businessman Rex Yarbor sparred with “old friend” and town board member Patti Wilson.

The Town Board of Cynthiana, in an effort to help clean up some of the unsightly scenery, passed an ordinance a few months ago using state ordinances to define “abandoned vehicles” and doing what the state allows to help rid the town of such vehicles.

However, Posey County Commissioner Carl Schmitz was present at Wednesday’s meeting and told the board that it is not a county policy to cite businesses who might have abandoned vehicles on commercial property.

Town attorney Jason Spindler, presiding over the meeting in the absence of Town Board President Todd Kennedy, responded to the comment made by Schmitz. Spindler indicated that under state statutes, the town is well within their rights to cite anyone with

abandoned vehicles on their property in the view of the public.

Spindler presided over the meeting and eventually decided to close the meeting, but not before Yarbor had sparred back and forth, mostly with Wilson, for most of 30 minutes.

Spindler again went through the state’s definition of an abandoned vehicle and Yarbor agreed that by state’s definition, he had some abandoned vehicles on his property.

However, Yarbor contended that the board had singled him out with the ordinance because of the nature of his business. During the discussion, Yarbor indicated that there are times when people bring unlicensed vehicles to his place of business for them to be repaired. He also indicated that at times, they are there for more than the 30 days specified in the ordinance.

Yarbor indicated that he has been in business in Cynthiana for nearly 40 years and he feels that mem-

was not going to leave the apartment.

However, the Evansville SWAT team was dispatched to the scene and Smith surrendered peacefully.

Latham indicated that the booking photo and a photo secured from a social networking site were an exact match, even wearing identical sunglasses.

Smith was booked into the Posey County Jail on charges of robbery, a Level Five Felony, that carries a sentence of one to

six years if Smith is convicted.

He was also charged with theft of over $700, a Level Six Felony.

Latham indicated he believes most of the cash was recovered.

There were just over two hours between the time of the robbery and Smith’s arrest.

Latham indicated on Sunday that 28-year-old Scott Smith remains lodged in the Posey County Jail on a $35,000 bond after he was arrested and charged with the robbery of the St. Phillip Branch of First Federal Savings Bank.

Life’s not fair

T W I S I ...

“Life’s not Fair,� one of my husband’s favorite B C

sayings. As I sat in P church this morning and listened to the message on God’s Love I was reminded of this saying. That may seem odd to you to think about God’s love and life not being fair but, in my mind, they do go together.

Two words the Pastor talked about were exhortation and ediďŹ cation which mean encouragement and building each other up. Then my mind drifted a bit to the fact that today the Posey County Fair 4-Hers will be entering their exhibits to be judged, speaking of which - life’s not fair, God’s love, encouragement and building each other up.

Proud to say that I am a tenure 4-H member as was my dad, two brothers, uncles, aunts and cousins. I think we would all agree that all those words and phrases come into play when you are involved in 4-H. The years in my childhood attending 4-H meetings, preparing my projects and showing the livestock taught me about life as much as the schooling I received.

There were many dierent projects over those ten years but two of them I took all ten years, foods and swine. The foods project not only taught me how to bake that product to be exhibited at the fair, but I had to meal plan and prepare entire meals for my family. That taught more than just cooking, it taught responsibility. My parents always encouraged and bragged on my accomplishments. That’s what parent’s do. The real test was what ribbon the judge gave me once I entered my project.

I remember my ďŹ rst year at age nine and a half. (you had to be ten sometime during that calendar year). I took foods, clothing and swine (pigs). My Grandma Redman had a big inuence on me in many ways but especially baking. She taught me to use lard instead of Crisco. Well that judge

was not too fond of the taste of lard so all the bragging and encouragement I had been getting at home from practicing on those chocolate chip cookies was soon gone when I received a red ribbon. How could a judge not like my cookies? Life’s not fair.

My Aunt Ruth helped me with my clothing project. I made an apron. I still have it to this day. Don’t ask me why because I can’t explain it. She is the best seamstress I know, and I really appreciated her help and was very proud of it. Well guess what? White ribbon. The hem was two inches instead of one.

Life’s not fair.

Honestly, I don’t recall what ribbons I received for my pigs that ďŹ rst year but over the years got my share of blue, red and white ribbons on them. I ďŹ gured out the ďŹ rst year that sometimes it may not be the best pig that wins or the best showman that wins showmanship but its about the lessons learned along the way. Fortunately, I had parent’s that didn’t let me talk negatively of the judges or quit because it didn’t go my way but helped me to learn that, you got it, life’s not fair. They did teach me about encouragement and building not only me up but to help build others up too.

Dave was not in 4-H growing up, but he learned a little about it when he entered a picture or two in the open class a few years back. Remember he takes pictures for a living.

I can’t even imagine how may photos he has taken over the years. You guessed it! White ribbon. Judges have dierence of opinions - life’s not fair.

Eric loved sports and was very active in golf, tennis, basketball and baseball but one year I talked him to joining 4-H. He decided to take photography thinking Dave could help him. Yep you guessed it white ribbon. I mean you would think with a dad who was a professional photographer grand champion was a given. Life’s not fair.

After church Dave and I went to the fairgrounds to take a few pictures of the 4-Hers entering their projects as they were

proudly walking in with the ďŹ nished products I was thinking “you are about to learn that life may not be fair.â€? I hope they have the family and 4-H leaders like I did that can encourage them to continue to strive to do better and learn from their mistakes from this year and maybe next year get that grand champion ribbon. By the way in ten years I never earned a grand champion. I did get a few champions.

After that stop we headed to the little league baseball ďŹ eld in Poseyville for a tournament going on where Dave had been asked to take photos. I sat in the car since I still had church clothes on and reected on all the years we had supported our son Eric in travel baseball. I watched one mom pace up down as her son pitched, another as her son was batting and could relate to the emotions going on in their hearts and minds. I felt my heart sink for the mom’s son on the opposing team who struck out to end the game and send the Poseyville team to the championship game. Been there done that - life’s not fair.

Learning to deal with dierent opinions of teachers, coaches, judges, umpires or in the adult world bosses, comes from lessons learned as a child. We must let our children learn, succeed and fail sometimes to be able to deal with circumstances of life. Those ďŹ rst red and white ribbons taught me I had to try harder and do a more to achieve better, lessons I still must learn at my age and that life’s not fair even now.

Now let’s get back to God’s unconditional love. The scripture says that there is one law and if we keep it all the rest will be taken care of. Love others as you would have them love you. This means everyone, even as my pastor put it, the people who are “like hugging Brillo pads� and through our life’s not fair moments. So Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, whining, becoming angry, quitting or feeling inadequate try loving, encouraging and building others up. Focus on others and not so much on yourself. The life’s not fair attitude may take on an all new meaning.

Thailand’s watery cave - something we can learn

By Dr. Glenn Mollette The world celebrated the rescue of 12 Thai soccer boys from a ooded cave in Mae Sai, Thailand. We grieved over the loss of one brave man, Saman Kunam who sacriďŹ ced his life to deliver supplies to the trapped boys.

Many of us watched the media reports fearfully, prayed and hoped for a miracle.

The deliverance of all twelve young boys at the hands of skilled divers was something we jointly cheered about. Reports have indicated that time was running out for them.

More ooding was coming; oxygen and food were in dismal supply. Yet, reports are that ten Thousand people participated in the rescue eort, including 2,000 soldiers, 200 divers and representatives from 100 government agencies.

We don’t want scenarios like what happened in Thailand to ever occur. Such a scenario was a global nightmare but was something that no political group, religious

struggle with healthcare. Insurance companies continue to call the shots on procedures and treatments. Doctors order what they feel like the insurance company will agree to or pay for. Is this always in the best interest of the patient or is it always in the best interest of the insurance company? How many American are on the verge of drowning from inadequate medical care and are also up to their necks in debt from medical costs? Surely this is a call for national concern, prayer but more than anything it’s a tremendous alarm for us to continue to work together to do something.

The recent shooting in Annapolis, Maryland reminded us again that we have a violence issue, mental issues and gun availability issues in this nation. Everybody should not have a gun in America. Do we not feel like we have all died again every time there is a school or random community shooting?

We have to quit arguing about “your gun�

and “my gunâ€? and work together to ďŹ x all of this and it’s a lot to ďŹ x.

Of course, we still have rampant poverty in America. We have too many communities who are afraid to drink their water. Kids are still bullied at school. Nursing homes are still nightmares emotionally and ďŹ nancially and there is always another hurricane, tornado, ood or ďŹ re just around the corner.

There is so much about our everyday world that strains us and keeps us ďŹ ghting for survival. Maybe we can all learn something from the divers and many people from all over the world who came together to rescue those young men from a watery grave. If we don’t ďŹ ght each other and work together for solutions we might solve more of our problems that are about to end our existence.

Dr. Glenn Mollette is the author of 12 books. His syndicated column is read in all 50 states.

Preparing for the fair

A T M B B R

It’s fair season in southern Indiana. Well, actually, all over America, actually. Large or small, elaborate or simple, these events are often the social event of the season for rural communities. And for Posey County, being the epitome of the small, rural county fair, it’s also a time of frantic preparation.

The local 4H fair board works tirelessly behind the scenes all year round, ensuring the grounds are safe and buildings housing all manner of livestock are well-maintained. Repairs and upkeep on buildings and infrastructure required untold man hours and dollars and dedication by said board members. They work hard to ensure that your visit to the 4-H fair is awesome, bringing shows and programs to entertain and enthrall. This tradition has been upheld for generations. Kudos to all 4H board members – present and past – who give up family and personal time to make sure you have a great time at the fair.

By far the heart of our local fair are the 4Hers who are busily completing projects.

The largest informal education program in the USA, 4-H provides today’s youth with fun and educational ways to learn and grow.

Project selections have come a long way from simply animals and cooking and gardening and sewing. These days youth in our community can choose from nearly 50 possibilities, ranging from the ever-popular animals and cooking and gardening and sewing to creative

entity or anyone would surely debate. Everything possible would be done to save those young Thai boys.

Yet every day on this planet there are desperate plights playing out around the globe. Young children in Syria still live lives of daily desperation. Families in Iraq and Afghanistan do not face a day without the fear of who may invade their homes to rape, pilfer and murder their families. There are a lot of problems around the world. Hunger, clean water shortages, medical care availability and violence exist to some degree almost everywhere it seems.

We have all the above and more in America. Employment is better, the stock market is up and the military is stronger than it has been in a long time, yet with all we have going for us how many people emotionally feel like they are in a watery cave and their time is running out?

Throughout our country people still

writing, genealogy, traveling, computers, sports, weather, wildlife, and, well, you get the picture. If there is an interest, most likely there is a project available.

Exhibits seen at the fair are the culmination of weeks or months of study, practice, failure, success. Of taking many photographs before selecting 10 or 12 for display. Of baking untold numbers of cakes or cookies until the ďŹ nal product is picture-perfect and tastes fabulous. Of talking with experts in the community who answer questions about caring for cattle, hogs, goats, and sheep and chickens oh, my! Of completing and submitting project books that outline the requirements for said projects. Of tears and frustration and smiles – for parents and 4hers! - when the project is ďŹ nally completed and ready for exhibit.

Granddaughters Mallory and Natalie are among these 4Hers completing projects. Their selections this year include foods (wholewheat bread for Mallory – it is absolutely wonderful; muďŹƒns for Natalie – yummy and wholesome!); genealogy – lots of research into family history and documents; clothing – another apron in the history of sewing in this family!; and photography for both girls.

I remember the rush to completion for my kids many years ago, some projects being completed in the family van under the shade of a large tree in the parking area on the fairgrounds! But completed they were, with great results and lessons learned, regardless of the ribbons received.

These kids put their heart and soul into the

4H program and their projects. Adult leaders give their heart and soul into leading the members of their club. Often 4Hers in their youth, these leaders recognize the importance of continuing this program, of instilling the ideas of learning and community and sharing that are byproducts of the fun also associated with being a 4Her. Ribbons received are the outward reward of their labors, but the knowledge of completing a project that initially seemed diďŹƒcult if not impossible, and completing it well, is the reward that will last a lifetime. 4Hers make and maintain friendships that will stay with them forever. They learn all manner of practical skills as well as leadership and communi-

cation skills. And they grow and develop into young men and women that make us all proud to know them.

If you haven’t been to the fair recently, it’s time for a visit! There truly is something for everyone – music, food, exhibits, rodeo events, tractor pulls, demolition derby, mud volleyball, free carnival rides and much more. (Check out the schedule at www. poseycountyfair.com or Posey County Fair on Facebook.) Support the 4Hers, the future leaders of our community. These kids – from third graders through high school seniors – are proud of their work. They so deserve our support. This week, it’s all about the fair. And that’s all that matters!

Guest Column: Wendy McNamara, State Representative New program to help keep students safe As Hoosier students prepare to return to the classroom in the coming weeks, local schools can make safety improvements at no cost thanks to a new state program.

The Indiana Department of Administration will provide free handheld metal detectors to schools that want them. This program will make one device available for every 250 students in traditional public, charter and accredited non-public schools. Interested schools can submit a request by July 19 to receive detectors by mid-August. Requests made after this date will be fulďŹ lled later in the fall.

To build on the state’s school safety policies, I authored a new law appropriating an additional $5 million to the Indiana Secured School Safety Grant Fund used to train safety specialists, hire school resource oďŹƒcers and improve building security. This funding is in addition to the nearly $45 million in state grants awarded to local districts for safety upgrades.

A summer place (not the movie)

B J J R

I was married, had a son and was broke when I started Law School in Bloomington, Indiana in the summer of 1968.

Although I was working full-time on a night stock crew at a Kroger’s grocery store and was receiving the G.I. bill for my Air Force service, our family just made it. My mission was to get out of school as quickly as possible. I.U. allowed 44 of us new law students to enroll on a new 27-month plan instead of the normal three years with three summers off. Only 6 of us completed the program where we actually started in June 1968 and took the Bar Exam in the summer of 1970 before we graduated in August.

What this did for my family and me was to allow me to become a lawyer when that would not have been possible had we had to remain in Law School another year. My G.I. Bill benefits were used up by the spring 1970 semester and we could not survive on my Kroger pay.

Now I will leave it up to my past clients and those who have

appeared in front of me as judge to determine if I.U. made an error in judgment in allowing me to cram three years of education into two. But as for me it was a necessity. However, it also showed me how the summertime, when most Law Schools are not in session, could be put to use.

Another long-term association I have had as judge is with the National Judicial College in Reno, Nevada. While NJC does conduct summer continuing education sessions for judges from every state and many foreign countries, these courses, due to the demands of working judges’ schedules, usually are a maximum of two weeks. In two weeks judges can have existing skills more finely honed. However, the in-depth education and training one should experience before being charged with the thousands of critical judging decisions affecting our citizens requires a greatly expanded curriculum and much more time.

Unfortunately, in America today all judges get their judicial education after they become judges. Such a system of on-thejob training might work well for workers on a night stock crew, but it is anathema to receiving equal justice from new judges.

In some countries, the pool of potential judges is formed O M

in Law Schools where those who wish to someday be a judge must complete a rigorous and specially designed regimen. That is in contrast to America where if one wishes to be a judge all that is required is that he or she graduate from a law school.

And in Law School not even the law professors are likely to have a clue about what a judge’s role really entails.

What I suggest is a system of developing a pool of attorneys who have a Law School specialty of Judging much as in medicine where one must be trained as a neurologist before they operate on someone’s brain. Naturally the students who want to later be considered for election or appointment as judges should have at least all the education and training of any attorney who will appear in front of the judge, so the judicial specialty must call for additional Law School time just as a medical student who wants to specialize needs extra education and time. I suggest the three summers of a Law School education are a natural fit for a Judicial Specialty. I will more fully address these issues in future columns. Try to curb your excitement.

‘Common council’ continued from Page A1 televisions in the school busses.

The school district also promised that in 2019, personnel will be writing grant applications for any appropriate grants. If successful, the entirety will go to the city for the operation of the SRO program.

Mount Vernon Police Chief Tony Alldredge told council members about the SRO program. “Right now, this would not be an additional officer, instead SRO will be a duty assigned to a current officer. There is money in the budget for that now,” he said.

Councilman Mark Pharr asked, “Since this is a position for a regular officer now, will it be paid at time and half?”

Chief Alldredge replied, “No, the department currently has two floaters that cover for vacations and other events this summer. Temporarily, this will not hurt the force now to add the assignment.”

Mayor Bill Curtis observed that for the remainder of 2018,there will be no additional funding for this program, other than the $10,000 accepted earlier in the day by the Mount Vernon Board of Works. Council action would be required to add another officer solely for this position next year. Councilman Larry Williams asked if the department is looking to eventually hire another officer and Alldredge replied in the affirmative.

Councilman Pharr asked if the SRO will be rotating among the schools.

Chief Alldredge stated the SRO will actually be assigned to the high school, but also will do walking patrol for the junior high. He added the SRO will be able to leave to go to the elementary schools for events. Councilwoman Becky Higgins asked if the SRO will be required to be at all ball games for security, like some of the other officers do.

The Chief replied no, though the SRO will be required to attend a number of school functions, the officer will not be required to attend every single one.

Attorney Beth Higgins stated they will need to develop a Standard Operating Procedure and job description for this. Chief Alldredge agreed and added guidelines are available through the National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO) and he has already written an SOP. “It is ready to

go,” he announced.

Attorney Higgins added that once a job description is drawn up, it will need to be approved by the Board of Works and the city insurance carrier also needs to be made aware of this new position.

The school will need to work out these details, too.

NASRO advocates for SRO’s to fulfill a “triad’ role encompassing three major functions: law enforcer, educator and informal counselor. Councilman Williams asked if this position will require additional training, as he sees they are considered an “informal counselor”.

Chief Alldredge replied the SRO will not be providing psychological counseling, rather just guidance as would a regular officer.

The SRO is mandated by state law to attend a 40 hour training on adolescent mental health. Chief Alldredge is working on sending someone now. “School will be starting soon and we need to get moving on this,” urged Councilwoman Becky Higgins.

Mayor Curtis replied they also need to be judicious and consider every point and not rush. Councilman Andy Hoehn commended Chief Alldredge for acting on this and for getting as far as he has this to date.

In other council action: • Councilman Pharr said Scott Moye requested two handicapped parking spaces on Walnut Street in front of the Elks side entrance. He added since they are getting ready to resurface Walnut, this would be a good time to do it, and it was approved.

• Meeting earlier as the water Utility Board, Utilities Superintendent Chuck Gray reported he needed to replace Danny Moss’ 1978 Chevy G-30 tool truck and retire the old one. He has a quote on the State Bid of $29,867.96 for the truck, and $11,818.40 for the tool body, for a total purchase price of $41,686.36. He also brought a quote from Ruxer Ford in Jasper for $33, 852.25, for the complete truck, well below the state bid.

Board member Pharr asked if Gray tried to get a quote locally from Expressway Ford. Gray replied he actually went to them twice and never got a re-

sponse. Pharr added he would like to see him get a local quote to at least be given the opportunity. Ruxer actually has the complete truck on their lot. Board member Pharr stated he has no problem with Gray proceeding with the purchase from Ruxer if the local dealership does not work out. They moved to purchase from Ruxer if there was no reply by Tuesday.

• Cody Irvin attended the meeting to request a tap at 1926 Mackey Ferry Road. He has the paperwork completed and has talked with Superintendent Gray who assured him that there is adequate pressure and capacity. Attorney Higgins said the meter pit is actually a double one located in the neighbor’s yard. Mr. Irvin will need the neighbor’s permission in writing to do this and get an easement to go onto the neighbor’s property. The tap was approved, pending completion of easement paperwork.

• First District Councilman Pharr stated the fireworks were wonderful and he would like to commend all involved in this event. Second District Councilman Williams stated he agreed with Pharr and added that anyone who went, if they enjoyed them, donate to the Lions Club.

• Third District Councilman Hoehn inquired if there were legal issues on the “safe haven baby box” that need to be cleared up, like insurance and liability. Attorney Higgins replied there are none. The law went into effect July 1.

Fire Chief Wes Dixon said a generator needs to be in place for it and he is working on a grant. If it does not materialize, it is decided that they will purchase one anyway. Mayor Curtis added money for the generator has been put in the Public Safety Tax Budget for 2019. Attorney Higgins stated they are also working on the SOP’s for this as well.

• Mayor Curtis told the council that State Street will be paved this week, set for five days, then striped. The INDOT crews have now moved down to in front of West School and hopefully they will have that section done before the start of school.

• Due to Mayor Curtis being out of town and Councilman Pharr out of town for two weeks training, the meeting scheduled for July 19 is canceled.

Speaking up is best way to bring change Mad-

B eleine, C P

al-

though this column is mainly directed to the users of Direct TV, the point I want to make applies to almost everything. Now, to the other folks who also subscribe to Direct TV, how horrible do you think the new Guide changes really are? I have called three times now, as well as spent a lot of time trying to ďŹ gure out how to reprogram my aging brain to make it work.

Of course, I have this problem when any form of technology changes. I have written about it many times. Most folks are more savvy about operating things than I am. It doesn’t matter how simple the thing, it is one of the 21st century changes that I ďŹ nd an evil plot. I don’t have arthritis in my hands, but I ďŹ ght opening things almost every day.

My dogs eat Cesar food, which comes in a little container, with a small pull tab on one side. All too often, it is stubborn, and I end up slicing the top open with a knife.

New prescription bottles, which are childproof, require pushing, pulling, etc. I know that it won’t be long before I will have to replace my washer and dryer, so I paused to look at them recently.

Does anyone actually use all those settings? I came from the wringer washer era, and having to choose from all those buttons to just get grandpa’s jeans clean seems ridiculous. In this time of having machines practically do all our work for us, simplicity has own out the window. Maybe manufacturers think that complicated settings justify the price.

I absolutely love hands-free blue tooth to help make safe car phone calls. However, I may as well be speaking Russian, because my car does not understand most words that I speak. Of course, living in a kind of

dead zone is part of my problem with home phone calls. It is impossible to have a cell phone conversation in the lower level of my house. If I did not have a land line connection, I would never be able to make or answer a call down there.

Getting back to Direct TV, if you hate the new format as much as I do, please call and tell their customer service what you think. I spoke to a nice lady recently who told me that thousands of people have called in, since the change. Some have cancelled their service. She went on to say that this is how to get the attention of the “back oďŹƒce.â€? Just call 800-531-5000 and ask for customer service. It is usually a short wait.

Tell the person who answers exactly what you ďŹ nd terrible about the new system. I personally think that it is almost everything. I can’t take up enough room here to list the problems, but there are many. This nice lady told me that everyone in their own oďŹƒce hates it. They took something simple and made it hard to use.

The main point that I want to make is that if people do not speak up, despite the subject, things can quickly go in a very bad direction. The best example of this are the folks who do not take time to vote. Voicing your opinion, anger, or criticizing others on Facebook does not make changes.

Companies, like Direct TV, make big errors in judgment and only the voice of their customers can make them aware.

Let’s think of a few examples from the past. Remember the Edsel and New Coke?

Even subtle changes can make a huge dierence. I recently had a long conversation with PďŹ zer Pharmaceuticals. Their product, Amlopodine, a blood pressure medicine which I didn’t even need to take, has caused a long-lasting nerve issue in my legs. I may be in the 1 percent who had this happen, but this company needed to know.

The Edsel - a classic example of how a subtle change can make a huge dierence.

If your favorite store stops carrying a certain thing you like, let them know. If your new car does not perform correctly, make a phone call. Report anything you see that is dangerous or wrong. All too many folks have become “too busy� or complacent about everything.

Madeleine, all too often, it is at the risk of being in the minority to speak up. I used

to complain to the folks who smoked in McDonalds, with my small children only a few feet away. Who ended up correct there?

So please call Direct TV and get this crazy new guide changed back to the original. However, use this as an example of why everyone should speak up, and stop others from making decisions for you.

Note: According to Army regulations, battlefield deaths were sometimes not reported to next of kin for weeks.

This is the case of Private Owen Dunn. Owen Dunn, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin P. Dunn, was born Oct. 9, 1892.

He spent his boyhood and school days on his family farm near Upton.

He assisted his brothers and father with the farm work. He enlisted in Co. L, 2nd Infantry June 18, 1917, at Mount Vernon.

He was sent to Camp Shelby, Miss., where he was assigned to Automatic Replacement Draft. He sailed for France on June 12th, 1918 and was eventually assigned to Co. K, 4th Infantry, 3rd Division. He was listed as killed in action on July 16, 1918.

His death was not reported in the newspaper until September 19th - with notification to the family just days before the article. Private Dunn’s remains are buried in Bellefontaine Cemetery, Posey County. The American Legion Post in Mount Vernon, Indiana is named in his honor. Sources from W. W. I Archives, Indianapolis

War Mothers Of Posey Organized - The Posey

County organization of War Mothers was aected Saturday at a meeting held in the courthouse in this city. Mrs. H. F. Clements presided. The group will do all that can be done for the welfare for our boys in service.

The Peace Our Soldiers Want: The Peace Our War Mothers Want - All the courage of the ancient Spartan mother is in the hearts of the women of America.

There will be no “Peace� with the Huns unbeaten. The Mothers of the American soldiers in France want the

same peace their sons and commanding generals want.

A War Mother’s Prayer For Her Soldier Son: “O God of inďŹ nite mercy, hear the mothers of this land as we plead before Thy throne for the loved ones we are sending forth to battle for the right. Though our hearts are bowed with sorrow, we pray not for ourselves; all our prayers, O God of love, are for them, the priceless treasures of our lives.

We would gladly give our lives to save these loved ones, dearer to us than life itself., who are going out to ďŹ ght foes seen and unseen, to face all the horrors of the battleďŹ eld and come perchance to die that others may live; but by no word or look will we hold then back when duty calls them.

Give them the manhood to meet this supreme test of life; give them strength of body, mind, and soul to do battle for the right; arm them with divine power to smite evil; fold them in Thy loving arms; yea, though they walk through the the valley of the shadows of death, may Thy presence banish every fear.

Hold them as in the hollow of Thy hand; for they are doing Your righteous work.�

Amen.

for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identiďŹ cation are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

REMEMBER WHEN JULY 2008 10 YEARS AGO Former Posey County 4-H Fair Duchess Kramer Sturgeon was crowned.

Posey County schools received word that they were awarded federal grant funds to be used towards programs that teach healthy childhood development and to prevent substance abuse and violence.

In a caravan of pick-up trucks farmers led the way for then Eighth District Congressman Brad Ellsworth to tour some farmland. The farmers lost this land due to a change in the course of the Wabash River as a result of spring ooding. Approximately 2,500 acres of rich farmland now forms an island that can be reached only by boat.

A Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy “Crimes of the Heart� was presented at the New Harmony Theatre.

Hillary May was crowned 4-H fair Duchess and Miss Congeniality.

Eleanor Buchanan modeled her “greenâ€? dress during the Extension Homemakers Style Show. Eleanor designed her dress out of lavender and white table clothes from her granddaughters graduation party. The collar included pull tabs from aluminum cans. Took ďŹ rst place.

JULY 1993 25 YEARS AGO The last issue of the Cynthiana Argus, a weekly six-page newspaper, rolled o the press, ending a century-old tradition.

Selected 4-H fair Little Princess and Little Prince was then six-year old Natalie Cox, and six-year old Matt Wargel.

Mount Vernon license Branch held its grand opening.

The upcoming marriage of Dee Ann Parker and Paul Niemeier was announced.

Carl and Mary Lee Nix celebrated their fortieth wedding anniversary.

Mr. and Mrs. Earl Schmitz, of Wadesville, celebrated their FortyďŹ fth wedding anniversary.

Beans, corn and wheat closed higher due to the drier weather. Indiana and Ohio farmers crops were on their way to record crops. Indiana had the hottest week of the year with ninety plus temperatures. This makes ideal growing weather. Even for the late crops planted giving them time to catch up.

JULY 1968 50 YEARS AGO Kathy Hutchinson was named Cynthiana Homecoming queen.

A thirty-four page booklet on the history and government of Mount Vernon was placed in the Banta collection of Indiana history at Franklin College by then Governor Roger D. Branigin.

Titled “Know Your Community - Mount Vernon Indiana. The booklet was prepared and distributed by the Mount Vernon Provisional League of Women Volunteers, Mrs. Rose Thomson edited the booklet.

Cynthiana hosted its tenth annual homecoming celebration in the townpark. Activities included a parade and a white elephant auction.

From the Shootin’ the Breeze column...Imagine that - 35 million laws and still no improvement on the Ten Commandments.

To the man who looks up, the sky is always the limit.

In 1968 it was a problem year for corn and storing of wet corn.

Beef performance testing important for top price for those wanting to sell at top price.

Comical ‘Nunsense’ production doesn’t disappoint

By Lois Mittino Gray I have to admit that I was totally pumped up to attend the New Harmony Theatre’s performance of “Nunsense” Friday night at Murphy Auditorium. After all, I am the product of 12 years of Catholic school education with nuns who still wore long habits and stiff wimples, rosary beads clinking around their waist dangling almost to the floor. It was hard for me to see them as real humans who ate and drank and even had to use the toilet when I was little. I remember in first grade, my mom brought the ladies of the convent a huge bag of popcorn she won at work, and I was astounded, “But ma, nuns don’t eat popcorn. They don’t need to eat anything and they drink holy water! ” Imagine my delight to watch five talented actresses portray the holy nuns as real women who laugh, tease, scheme, dream, and sing and dance their way through a crisis. It was hard not to start this article with “JMJ” written at the top, as they ingrained so many things in us to do by “habit”.

“Nunsense” is a musical comedy, with music and lyrics by Dan Goggin, which originally opened Off-Broadway on December 12, 1985.

It ran for an astounding 3,672 performances to become the second-longest-running Off-Broadway show in history, after The Fantasticks.

(NHT did that one back in 2014). By the time it closed, it had become an international phenomenon translated into at least 26 languages with more than 8,000 productions worldwide. The show has since been adapted for television and has spawned six sequels and three spin-offs.

Must be a pretty great story, right?

Actually the plot is a bit strange, and strained.

My husband called it “goofy.” The play is not a mental challenge with a great moral. It’s just fun and the nuns are real people.

Here’s the gist of it. Five of the 19 surviving Little Sisters of Hoboken, a one-time missionary order that ran a leper colony on an island south of France, discover that their cook, Sister

Julia, Child of God, (get it? Julia Child) accidentally killed the other 52 residents of the convent with her tainted vichyssoise soup. The survivors were off playing bingo with a group of Maryknolls. Upon discovering the disaster, Mother Superior had a vision in which she was told to start a greeting card company to raise funds for the burials. The greeting cards were an enormous success and, thinking there was plenty of money, the Reverend Mother bought a plasma TV for the convent. This left her short with no money in the kitty to pay for the last four burials. With the deceased nuns on ice in the deep freeze, they decide to stage a variety show in the Mount Saint Helen’s School auditorium to raise the needed amount. The result is songs and dancing and a happy ending when they get enough money in a surprise way to bury the dead quartet and still have money to get Netflix on the new TV! My favorite scene, by far, is when Mother Superior, the former circus performer with a heart of gold under all that blustering, is handed a bag of “weed” found in the girls’ restroom.

The staid head of the order sends the other nuns away as she smokes it and tries it out. Her “high” scene finds her writhing on the floor seeing Elvis and singing, “Are You Lonesome Tonight?”

Evansville’s own Sue Schriber excels in this role as Mother Superior and was an audience favorite. She has been in two other NHT productions, “The Full Monty” and “Picnic.” Sue was the drama director of the Evansville-Vanderburgh County School Corporation Summer Musical Program for 22 years and currently directs the musicals for the Wabash Valley Arts Council in Illinois.

Noreen Eddy returns to NHT once again after performing in “Boeing, Boeing.” She is the wacky, childlike Sister Mary Amnesia, who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head. Mary Amnesia sings a song in the first act about what it’s like to be a nun. She uses a foul-

mouthed puppet called Sister Mary Annette (Get it? marionette) to sing the song “So You Want to Be a Nun.” Sister Amnesia is hilarious in an interactive skit quizzing the audience and giving out funny prizes to the “lucky” winners.

New to NHT is Marlaina Powell as the wisecracking second-in-command Sister Mary Hubert, who always seems to be in control. She calms down Mother Superior after she gets a letter from the Board of Health that the four nuns must be buried soon. Mary Hubert reminds her that they’ve got to stick together in times of crisis like this, singing “Just a Coupl’a Sisters.” It’s also a hoot when Amnesia and Hubert do a skit using Sister Julia, Child of God’s cookbook and put on a short cooking show. The talented Powell appeared in the Lion King on Broadway.

Ruth Dawson makes her debut with NHT as the youngest novitiate, Sister Mary Leo. She is so graceful doing ballet numbers as she is determined to be the world’s first ballerina nun.

She even does the “The Dying Nun Ballet,” for Mother Superior who does not find it one bit funny.

Rounding out the quintet of nuns is Laura Strako as Sister Robert Anne, a streetwise nun from Brooklyn. She dreams of doing a solo performance and pleads with the Reverend Mother to no avail to let her do one. Mother denies her as she is only the understudy. Robert Anne opens the second act, overjoyed at being able to finally take a starring role, since Mother Superior is still whacked out on weed. She poignantly sings a slow ballad about how church has changed since she was a little girl “Growing Up Catholic.” Later, Reverend Mother finally gives in and lets Robert Anne sing her number onstage, “I Just Want to Be a Star.”

The actresses are wonderful in their roles from the opening number, “Nunsense is HabitForming,” performed by all five, to closing the show with Sister Hubert’s rousing gospel number about what it takes to become a saint “Holier Than Thou.” The nuns had a joke telling session with the likes of “How do you make Holy Water?” “Boil the hell out of it!”

“We’re on our way to heaven so we’re here to raise some hell,” they warned us in the opening number.

Sister Amnesia saves the day when she sings about her dream to be a country superstar “I Could’ve Gone to Nashville.” Mid-song, everything comes back to her and she remembers her real name is Sister Mary Paul and her past.

The other sisters realize that Sister Mary Paul is

also the name of the nun who just won the Publisher’s Clearing House sweepstakes, resulting in the happy ending.

The nuns are accompanied by the “Father Pat and the MSMS Volcanoes” band, from the Mount St. Helen’s Middle School. It featured Patrick Ritsch, Ryan Preci, Addisson Grimm, and Adam and Justin Clark, all rocking out dressed as priests. The play started with the audience asked to greet Mother Superior with the Mount St. Helen School cheer to cheer up her crankiness.

“Nunsense” is directed by New Harmony’s Producing Artistic Director, Elliot Wasserman.

In his usual onstage welcome, he reminded the audience to invite young people and friends to the NHT and to spread the word about it.

The Stage Managers are Margaret Kayes and Erin Joy Swank. Choreography is by Robin Levine and Patrick Ritch is responsible for musical direction. Behind the stage workers are USI faculty members Paul Weimer as scenic designer, Maya Michele Fein as lighting designer, Kevin Gray as sound designer and Shan Jensen as costume designer. The stage was set up the for the “Grease” production the middle school was sponsoring, so Weimer filled it with a jukebox, lunch counter, and cardboard cutouts of James Dean and Marilyn Monroe.

The play runs two hours, including a fifteen minute intermission. Just a reminder that the Murphy Auditorium is always very cool and you might want to bring a jacket or wrap.

This production was underwritten by the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana and New Harmony’s own David and Vicki Campbell.

After the performance, Vicki enthused that she just loved it!

The play will still be performed this upcoming weekend from July 19-22. Thursday evening performances are new this year and will be offered July 19 at 7:30 pm and it will only cost $24 per ticket. The other performances are single tickets for adults at $30, for seniors age 60 plus at $28, for ages 25 and under at $10, and $24 for USI employees. Shows start at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights, and 2 p.m. matinees on Saturday and Sunday.

AstraZeneca/USI partnership creating opportunities for students and community A new University of Southern Indiana partnership forged last year is beginning to reap rewards. In 2017, AstraZeneca in Mount Vernon, Indiana, partnered with the University to create the “AZ Mount Vernon Science and Technology Scholarship Program.” The program was developed by AstraZeneca as part of its Strategic Workforce Plan to develop a talent pipeline by encouraging students to pursue related career fields. Additionally, the program aimed to help students in the local community with financial need.

With the success of the program, AstraZeneca plans to both continue and expand the program, offering four scholarships in 2018-19. In its pilot year, the program offered scholarships to three students who were also assigned mentors who assisted with career advice and acted as professional contacts.

Ashley Schorr, who graduated from USI in April, is joining AstraZeneca this summer as a Global Graduate with an assignment at the AstraZeneca in Westchester, Ohio. “The scholarship from AstraZeneca has opened many doors for my career,” said Schorr. “Receiving this scholarship led me to my mentor, Denise Patton, who was very helpful on different pathways I could take my career with AstraZeneca, given the degree I was earning. AstraZeneca paved my career path in the pharmaceutical industry by offering me a position in its Global Graduate Program. Receiving the scholarship was the first step in starting my professional career.”

Another scholarship recipient, Alex Goebel, was recently offered a position in the Mt. Vernon site’s summer internship program. “The mentoring from the scholarship program has been one of the greatest benefits,” he said. “It peaked my interest in

Photo copyright AstraZeneca Mount Vernon AstraZeneca and has driven me into my educational endeavors further. I’m intrigued by the advancements that AstraZeneca is making and I’m thrilled to be part of this.”

The third scholarship recipient, Raquel Denning, said the experience has been a positive one, especially when it comes to the professional career guidance she received. “My mentor, already having engineering experience and connections, introduced me to a lot of people with similar backgrounds in the engineering industry,” she said. “He’s given me good insight and a good idea

of what I’ll be doing in the future. He’s also given good advice when it came down to figuring out my career path.”

The AstraZeneca partnership is a great example of USI’s ongoing efforts to serve as a community engaged University. Partnerships like this help retain local talent and shape role models for our community.

For more information about scholarships and other awards available to USI students, visit the USI Foundation website at USI.edu/giving.

Vacation Bible School

Sermon of the Week: The Romans Road Pastor Matt Watson Roads. It’s summertime. Lots of us are traveling. We depend on them. We need roads to get where we’re going. We aren’t the first country to invest in travel, in roads. The Romans were famous for their roads. Early Christians used the Roman roads to take the gospel through the known world. And Christians have stolen the phrase “Romans Road” to convey the road to salvation. Christians emphasize verses in the Bible book of Romans to concisely share how to become a Christian. Here’s how.

First, Stop blaming God. You cannot convert to a God you only blame. Romans 3:23 states that every one of us have fallen short of deserving God’s glorious presence. Each of us are, by nature, sinners. Our natures are opposite God’s nature. Romans 6:23a takes us further to understand that the earnings or wages of our sin nature is eternal death, eternal separation from God. When we feel the shame of sin we stop blaming God. Second, Start receiving grace. My favorite four-letter F word is “free.” Romans 6:23b states that even though we earn eternal death for our sin, God offers us a “free” gift of eternal life. He offers this gift free to us; however, it’s not free. This gift is costly to the giver. In fact, this gift cost Him his only Son. Divinity took on flesh and died for you. And that’s why there’s no other name under heaven whereby you can be saved. So, you can start receiving grace.

Third, Pray to Him. Romans 10:9-10 takes us further down the road. These verses tell the would-be believer to believe in the gospel of Jesus and verbalize that belief — verbalize it to

others and to God Himself. Then you will experience salvation.

You should call upon the name of the Lord, Romans 10:13, exhorts. Pray to Him. Stop blaming. Start receiving. Pray now. Investigate these verses from the Bible and reach out with any questions you have. Of all the roads you’ll travel in life, none are more im-

bers of the town board should have consulted with him before passing such an ordinance, considering the nature of his business.

But Wilson retorted that such action would have been unfair to the other people who have been cited under the abandoned vehicle ordinance.

She indicated that some 38 vehicles had been tagged and Yarbor indicated the he believed that several of those may have been on his property.

But Yarbor also contended that customers are sometimes seeking items that he sells that would be considered “abandoned vehicles” under the language of the ordinance. He said that is the nature of his business.

But in the end, while Wilson thanked both Yarbor and Schmitz for attending the meeting, she expressed no hope for a change to the ordinance, citing that if businesses were to come and look at Cynthiana as a possible business site, the town would need to make a good impression. She told those in attendance that it was the wishes of this board to try and help improve the impressions made by Cynthiana.

Yarbor obviously did not get the desired result and indicated that he “was done.”

In other business: • Wilson announced that the Eighth Annual Posey County Sheriff’s Night Out has been scheduled for August 8 from 6 until 8 p.m. in the Cynthiana Town Park. Burgers, hot dogs, grilled corn on the cob, Nachos, popcorn, and watermelon are just a few of the food items that will be available at no charge to those attending this year’s event. Wilson indicated that this event is a “no solicitation” event. New

this year will be a water slide inflatable and a bouncy house.

Residents and visitors are asked to bring lawn chairs and enjoy a night out with family, friends, and officers.

• Prior to the discussion involving Yarber, resident Jim Wilson asked the board if they could tell him where records are kept. Members asked Wilson if he could be more specific about what he was searching for since the town’s records are kept in multiple locations. Wilson told the board he was looking for the Articles of Incorporation for the Town of Cynthiana.

Cynthiana was incorporated in 1817 so some suggested that the original articles of incorporation may not be available at all. Members of the board did promise to continue to look and see if they might be able to find the documents.

Commissioner Schmitz suggested that Wilson contact Posey County Recorder Mary Rhoades to see if she might be able to help him find the desired records.

• Board member Carolyn Price mentioned the possibility of another facility in the town park. She indicated that estimates for such a facility are being sought with the possibility of a grant to cover the cost.

It was also mentioned that such a facility could be made handicapped-accessible.

• Prior to adjournment, two property complaints were mentioned and property owners will be receiving notices.

Those properties are at 10950 North Street and 10464 Oak Street.

The next meeting of the Cynthiana Town Board will be on Wednesday, August 8, 2018 at 6 p.m. at Cynthiana Town Hall.

Ferris Wheel coming back to Posey County 4-H fair

By Lois Mittino Gray Want to try something new at the Posey County fair this week? Take a ride on the Ferris Wheel and check out the action from a birds-eye view. According to Posey County Fair Board President Jake McGennis, the Ferris Wheel is a new ride at the fair this year and that is why it is so predominantly featured in this year’s logo design.

The fair started Monday and will wrap up on Saturday, July 21 with the heartpounding demolition derby at 7 p.m. In between, there are plenty of activities planned for all ages and all interests during the day and in the evenings.

Everyone is buzzing about Wednesday night’s concert featuring breakthrough Nashville artist Jameson Rodgers. The singer is described as “a new crop of country rock, planted and grown in the rich musical soils of the Mississippi Delta.” Raised in Batesville, Miss., he brings

together electrified rock and roll with the thoughtful lyricism of country music. He has been compared to Eric Church and Luke Combs and will appear at 8 p.m. on the outdoor stage. The concert will be moved indoors in the Community Center if it rains. Visitors may want to bring lawn chairs and insect repellent for the outdoor venue.

Local favorite Kenna Elpers is slated to be the opening actat 7 p.m. The concert is free of charge, with a paid gate admission. The gate admission each night for all events is $6.00 per person. Age ten and under get into the fair free of charge. A weekly pass is $25 for the entire fair.

Man on the move Martin Redman doesn’t have quitting in his blood

By Pam Robinson Posey County native Martin Redman can’t quit farming. The second of four sons born to Carl Lee and Faye Redman, Martin learned to cherish family and friends, church, and community in the small rural community of Oliver, near Wadesville.

The 81-year-old continues to raise cattle and to make a little hay, even to cut down a little hay for a neighbor in need. After talking on Friday, July 6, about his life, he was headed out to mow 20 acres of hay for a family friend. When reminded about the heat index for the day, he explained the enclosed tractor cab was air-conditioned.

The luxury of air conditioning didn’t, however, find Martin for several years. “I started driving a tractor when I was 5-years-old, and I’ve been driving one ever since,” he states. “Even drove with steel wheels.

Back in ’43 when the war was going on, you couldn’t buy the tires. You couldn’t have the rubber, so tractors came out with steel wheels. As soon as the war was over, they put rubber on them again.”

Farming was passed down as a family tradition to Martin. His maternal grandpa worked an 80-acre farm until he passed away in 1947. On his dad’s farm, Martin learned well from experience. He remained in Oliver after graduating as one of the tenmember Class of 1955 at Wadesville High School.

“It was the smallest class ever graduated out of Wadesville,” he recalls. “We started out with 29 and ended up with ten. The ten that graduated—everyone is still living. All are 81-years-old.”

At age 20 in 1957, Martin brought his 17-year-old bride to his grandmother’s house for three years before the couple moved to Wadesville for the next three years. By 1963, Martin and Wanda (Mincey) Redman moved to their own farm south of the current 4-H Fairgrounds. Martin

The Golden Years and his dad worked alongside one another all this time until Martin’s dad passed away in 1972, the same year Martin and Wanda built the existing home on their property.

Martin and Wanda hold the distinction of having the first wedding ceremony in Mount Zion General Baptist Church on August 17, 1957.

Rev. David Middleton officiated.

They lacked two months celebrating 57 years of marriage before Wanda passed away four years ago.

“A lot of people said, ‘That marriage will never work.’ She came from town, and I was a farm boy,” Martin comments. “We enjoyed raising three kids and seeing seven grandkids.” Wanda surely looks on from heaven now and watches over everyone, including the three great grandchildren she never saw as well as another great grandbaby due in December.

Martin and Wanda’s three children — Greg, Connie, and Tom — received a rich legacy from their parents. Martin and Wanda joined Mount Zion General Baptist Church at the same time. Both were active members. Martin became a Sunday school teacher, trustee, and deacon.

Wanda served as a Sunday school teacher as well as treasurer and clerk.

“I’m proud of my church,” Martin states. He remains active and is on the committee responsible for overseeing the recent church addition.

Like Martin, all three of his children were, unsurprisingly, 10-year 4-H members. Six of his seven grandchildren were also 10-year 4-H members. Like his own father, Martin taught as 4-H leader for 17 years at about the same time he served 17 years on the 4-H livestock committee, a committee his son, Greg, works on today. In addition, he sat on the 4-H Council for 12 years.

The first two or three years Martin

the ‘60s. I owned my own bus for 12 years, and the (Mount Vernon school district bought us out. I stayed out a few years. Then, I went back to work for the (Mount Vernon)school district. I worked for them 17 years,” he explains.

“I like to watch the Cardinals play.

I enjoyed taking the school kids over there for career day at that stadium ...

I got to do that three times. Mr. Krizan was the teacher, and I always enjoyed that trip. That was my favorite trip I took.”

He sums up his love for kids in a few words. “I enjoyed kids and working for 4-H and driving the school bus. You hope you can teach kids something,” he states. “It hurts to know good kids could have had a future if they’d had the right people leading them.”

People of all ages have reaped the benefits of Martin’s years in Posey County politics. “I’ve been in politics since the’60s. I started out on the Center Township Advisory Board in Wadesville. Then I moved down here (between New Harmony and Mount Vernon) and served on the Advisory Board in Lynn Township, and I was Trustee in Lynn Township. Then, I became a County Commissioner,” he reviews.

While a County Commissioner, Martin served as President of the Commissioners Association for the State of Indiana during 1991-1992.

At the end of his tenure in 1992, he was awarded the prestigious Sagamore of the Wabash Award by then Governor Evan Bayh.

After serving 20 years as a County Commissioner, Martin was elected for two four-year terms to the County Council and helped to bring about the county’s jail renovations and additions. He spent about seven years on the Community Corrections Board helping people, too.

“It wasn’t the politics I enjoyed,” Martin insists. “It was serving the

Martin Redman keeps busy farming and just recently retired from nearly 40 years of school bus driving. Photo submitted showed livestock as a 4-H member, he recalls the old 4-H Fairgrounds were located where the New Harmony Fire Station stands now. “We loaded up cows and hogs and headed to New Harmony,” he reminisces.

“4-H was a big part of our lives and our family.”

Martin has always enjoyed working with young people not only in his family but in his community. As a young man, he coached Little League baseball in Wadesville until he left in 1963, including a few years before he married. He still treasures the Little League score book with the names of all the kids he coached. After he and

Wanda moved to their farm south of the current 4-H Fairgrounds, Martin coached Pony League in Mount Vernon with Dale Smith and with Judge James Redwine for a few years, too.

Besides 4-H, though, Martin has provided his greatest service to young people as a school bus driver for close to 40 years. He liked substituting for his dad, later driving his own regular route, and taking students on athletic trips.

“Actually, I started driving when I was 21, but I didn’t have a route until later on. My dad had a (Wadesville) route, and I substituted for him. I started driving my own bus back in

Martin speaks in a steady voice and earns oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s respect, whether heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talking about possible latenight mishaps at the printing company or the unexpected death of a friend. He knows what some of us resist believing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control life,â&#x20AC;? he re-

flects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reason for everything. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand. We have to move on.â&#x20AC;?

Martin Redman has never been a quitter. Aging wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cause him to quit now. Not when he can drive a tractor sitting in an enclosed airconditioned cab.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Golden Yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; continued from Page B1 people I enjoyed. If I could help somebody and get something done and make the county a better place to live, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I was working for all my life.â&#x20AC;?

Martin still serves the county with his involvement at the Posey County News, owned by his

daughter, Connie, and her husband, David Pearce. Martin and an associate deliver the freshlyprinted newspapers every Monday night to the county distribution locations for their sale every Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We leave at 5 p.m. Sometimes
