Evansville Couple Arrested after chase and manhunt

Jacob Nebelski

Special to the News Posey Count fairgoers on Tuesday afternoon had some unexpected excitement. As Mount Vernon residents were headed to the Posey County Fair, they cam across some 12 to 15 police officer vehicles near Bellefontaine Cemetery and officers

with their rifles drawn. Officers were on the look-out for a male and a female who had escaped their prusued vehicle in the back of the cemetery.

The couple had vanished on foot.

Indiana State Troopers Daltyn Backes and Detective Wes Kuykendall were assisted by Posey County

Sheriff’s Department and Mount Vernon Police Tuesday afternoon at approximately 4:15 p.m. Backes was patrolling SR69 north of Mount Vernon when he clocked a 2010 Chrysler 300 traveling south at 83 mph. Backes activated his emergency lights and siren and attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver refused to stop and accelerated to speeds over 100 mph. The driver turned east into Bellefontaine Cemetery and then drove north out of the cemetery into a cornfield, where troopers lost sight of the vehicle.

A drone from the Posey County Sheriff’s Department confirmed the vehicle had crashed in the cornfield and the vehicle was unoccupied. A perimeter had been set up and officers from the Indiana State Police, Mount Vernon Police and

Posey County Sheriff’s Department searched the area, but were unable to locate the driver and his passenger.

The search was called off at approximately 9:45 p.m.

When troopers searched the vehicle they discovered methamphetamine, scales and plastic baggies that are commonly used to distribute illegal drugs. Indiana State Police received information after midnight that the vehicle was reported stolen out of Gibson County.

At approximately 7 a.m. Wednesday morning, Posey County Dispatch received a 911 call from a person inside Casey’s General Store in Mount Vernon stating the two people that fled from police the day before were inside the store. Mount Vernon Police arrived moments later and detained both subjects until

Indiana State Police arrived. Both subjects were arrested and taken to the Posey County Jail where they are currently being held on bond.

James Jacob Nebelski, 28, Evansville, Ind., was arrested and charged with: Resisting Law Enforcement with a Vehicle, Class 6 Felony; Resisting Law Enforcement, Class A Misdemeanor; Auto Theft, Class 6 Felony; Dealing Methamphetamine, Class 3 Felony; Possession of Methamphetamine, Class 5 Felony; Operating a Vehicle without a Valid Driver’s License Cami L. Joiner, 30, Evansville, Ind., was arrested and charged with: Resisting Law Enforcement, Class A Misdemeanor; Auto Theft, Class 6 Felony; Dealing Methamphetamine, Class 3 Felony; Possession of Methamphetamine, Class 5 Felony

New jail rate causes concern

By Lois Mittino Gray “I have good news and bad news,” Posey County Sheriff Tom Latham told the County Commissioners at their July 16, morning meeting at the Hovey House in Mount Vernon. “The good news is that we have 120 inmates at the county jail, as of this morning, that generate rent income. 53 are from Vanderburgh County, 12 from the Department of Corrections, and 11 from Sullivan County.”

“The bad news is that the three contracts you approved at an earlier meeting with those agencies are not being signed. During the last legislative session, a per diem increase was approved from $35 to $37.50 per day, per inmate, starting July 1. I sent contracts out to make the change, but there is not enough money to fund what was allocated. Sheriff Wedding in Van-

Fire destroys MVFD property

By Lois Mittino Gray The Mount Vernon Street Department had a fire Tuesday night that destroyed its building on the corner of Kimball and Sycamore streets, one of its packer trucks, and severely damaged many other city street vehicles and implements contained inside. The fire was the main topic of discussion at the July 18, meeting of the Mount Vernon Board of Works.

Mount Vernon Fire Chief Wes Dixon said the call about the fire came in at 7:04 p.m. on Tuesday, July 16. His crew of three trucks, with 12 to 13 firefighters on duty, had the fire “well in hand” in about two hours. They monitored the area around the totaled building structure the next day for hot spots, but it was all under control by then, and ‘Do Not Cross’ fire tape was put up across the entrance. A smoky smell still hangs in the air around the site.

Mary Ellen Gerard

(USPS 439-500)

By Lois Mittino Gray Mary Ellen Gerard is concerned about the future of the New Harmony Food Pantry.

As its Director, she would like to find a new location and new director for the supplemental feeding program by the end of the year.

Should it not come to fruition, the popular food pantry may have to close its doors as Mary Ellen is turning 81 next month and she would like to turn the reins over to someone else after 20 years. Fortunately, things have started to look promising of late.

Mary Ellen has been doing work of this kind since the inception of the first food pantry in New Harmony in 1991. “Father David Booher asked me and Sara Dunbar to run a small food giveaway program one day a week out of the little office that Saint Stephen’s Episcopal Church owned on Granary Street. We just carried a few staples and gave out basics like soup and peanut butter.

It was supported by the church for one or two years and I kept a card file of people’s addresses. That’s the only bookkeeping I

The Golden Years had to do. Now, the required paperwork is unbelievable,” she said, with a shake of her head.

In 1993, when the New Harmony Ministerial Association was formed, the food pantry idea blossomed and it was moved to the Boy Scout Cabin in Murphy Park. “Pat Wiley was in charge and each local church took responsibility for staffing the pantry, so I didn’t need to go every week. In the late 90’s, we moved to our present location in the basement of the First Baptist Church of New Harmony on Tavern Street and I became the full-time Director for all these years,” Mary Ellen recounted.

The operation went from simple to sophisticated through the years. Clients can come from anywhere in the county on the third Thursday of every month to the Fellowship Hall of the church. It’s all choice

now and participants in the giveaway mark what items they would like to take home with them. Runners, usually younger people, go down the basements stairs and fill the orders and bring them up. Upstairs, the recipients can also go through a line and pick out proffered items on a table, like beans, fresh vegetables, rice and paper goods, since toilet paper and the like cannot be purchased with food stamps.

“We have great volunteers who show up to help me fill orders and also show up on the first Wednesday of the month, when it is all delivered, and help me carry it downstairs.

The food pantry has a small conveyer belt to help with that and refrigerators, freezers, shelving and tables in the basement. Mary Ellen does all the business side and orders from their umbrella organization, the TriState Food Bank. She works with the farmers of Zion Lippe Church who donate one pound packages of ground beef and sausage

The best laid plan

B B R

Back in January, I shared some basic plans for my garden. Mostly, to add more plants to my everevolving yard, especially owers. Lots of owers.

I planned to keep things simple, and I have – mostly – adhered to those plans.

I did add several perennials to the garden. OK, dozens of perennials. One trip to a local establishment, accompanied by all four of my lovely granddaughters (a rare outing these days.), found caladiums, lilies, and dahlias added to my cart.

While the girls weren’t able to help plant these lovelies, as I planted and later enjoyed the blooms and leaves, I remember the choices of my favorite young ladies.

To add to my collection I also visited, a time or two, my favorite greenhouse (thanks, Hasting Plants, for helping feed my love for plants.). Any store or business I visit that has plants or owers or shrubs is sure to ďŹ nd some piece of my earnings left in their care. I spend untold hours over the course of a season looking at the huge variety of everything. Hours well spent, in my mind, regardless of how my plans sometimes run amok.

In my mind’s eye, my garden is perfect. Drifts or waves of color all season long, with no weeds or bugs or disease. Lots of color – just about any color. If I like a particular ower, it may very possibly ďŹ nd a place in my garden. Pink, red, yellow, purple, white, orange. Roses, sweet William, lilies, hosta, gladiolus, aegeratum, zinnia, hydran-

gea‌and the list goes on and on. Vegetable selection is similarly (un)planned: if it looks and sounds good, it’s gonna ďŹ nd a spot in my garden.

My choices and plantings are as chaotic and varied as the thoughts running through my mind at three o’clock in the morning.

This year’s biggest addition – experiment - was adding a number of pots full of owers to my porch. I generally avoid pots as they require more care than plantings in the yard and garden. Mostly, I have to water them. Every day. And I need to feed them regularly. Like, every one or two weeks.

The pots of plant look wonderful, but I’m not sure I’ll continue this little experiment next year. Never say never, though, as I do like the splashes of color all over my front porch.

Gardening in southern Indiana has its problems.

It’s too hot, it’s too cold, it’s too wet, it’s too dry – sometimes all in the same week. Ah, the vagaries of gardening‌ If you remember, it rained this year. A lot.

Weekly, daily, hourly, by the minute. For many weeks. We are, at this date, nearly ten inches above average for rain. While this was great for the items I planted and wanted in my yard; owers and veggies grew and bloomed and stayed green and bloomed even more. While it hasn’t yet gained the full growth I imagine, it is deďŹ nitely heading in that direction.

It also was perfect weather for the dreaded weeds. Weeds grow as least as fast as owers and vegetables – faster, in my humble experience – and they don’t look nearly as lovely as the beauties I personally planted. I have struggled with keeping

Letter to the Editor Gibson County E.ON Project Concerns I am for the responsible and safe placement of renewable energy that doesn’t aect my safety or property rights.

I have the privilege of living out in the country for the peace and quiet. Has anyone ever heard someone say, “I will sell my property to go and live in the middle of a wind farm?�

When you live in a rural community as I do, you expect some form of agricultural annoyances. Do you expect industrial annoyances from wind-power electric generators? The issue at hand isn’t only about annoyances but about the safe placement, or setback, of these proposed behemoth wind turbines. I’ve been told that the setback to my property (550 feet or 1.1 times the height of the turbine) and to my residence (1250 feet) are two entirely different numbers. Why are these two distances dierent? Shouldn’t my family and I be as safe on any part of our property as we would be in our home? Shouldn’t my wife be safe in the garden? Shouldn’t my kids be safe playing in the side yard? If I have a piece of raw land, why should the setback to the property be less than the distance aorded to a house? Because of this dierence in setback distance, I am being robbed of the ability to safely build and live on that property in the future.

After several requests, the project developer, E.ON, has failed to provide any scientiďŹ c, peer-reviewed, independent study which backs up the aforementioned setbacks. I’ve been told it’s the industry standard and if something should happen, well “that’s why we have insurance.â€? Encouraging, isn’t it? My search for data on safe setback distances yields several peer- reviewed studies one of which speciďŹ es a distance of at least “3.5 times the height of the turbineâ€? to be a safe setback. That would mean approximately 1,800 ft. to a property line with the proposed turbine height. The setback distance is crucial to prevent ice throw, blade failure and other safety risks from harming individuals or structures.

If I’m not receiving the ďŹ nancial beneďŹ t of the proposed industrial wind project, why should I be forced to put up with the risks? I have seen a copy of a lease agreement between

a landowner and E.ON which stated, “owner [property owner who signs] acknowledges that there may be risks associated with windpower energy generation, including but not limited to electromagnetic ďŹ elds, shadow, stray voltage, ice throw, and health eects potentially associated with icker, noise and air turbulence, and owner knowingly waives all claims related to such risks. If all these risks weren’t enough, the verbiage “but not limited toâ€? is very scary.

To what other potential risks will my family be subjected? With a payment, the landowner is willing to take on these risks. Why should I be forced to take on these same safety risks as a non- participant?

Without oversight from any county, state, or federal authority, there is no law regulating the safe distance of a turbine to my property. My ability to build on my land or even enjoy my land safely is now at risk if the turbines are not sited safely. Suddenly, the uses for my property drastically diminish. Do you think my land value will decline with a nearly 600 feet industrial wind turbine as close as ďŹ ve football ďŹ elds away from my house? If nothing else, hopefully we can all agree the number of potential buyers would be less.

The term trespass zoning is often used to describe the taking of property by the unsafe proximity of a turbine to an adjacent property.

It’s theft of our right to safely reside on our property whether inside our home or outside.

The setback and trespass zoning issues are not just South Gibson issues. There are two projects proposed by E.ON: “Gibson Central Projectâ€? stretching from Princeton to Mount Carmel with upwards of 67 turbines, and “Gibson West/Posey Northâ€? of which Gibson West will have approximately 13 of the 67 turbines aecting numerous non-participating land owners.

Gibson County, is this what we want? I want clean energy, but the risks should be contained to property of the lessors who are ďŹ nancially beneďŹ tting and have volunteered to accept that risk, not thrust upon those of us who have not.

up with decreasing the numbers of these uninvited guests. I don’t use chemicals in my yard, so the weeds disappear only with human or mechanical intervention. I use my weed eater regularly, but I believe the weeds schedule a growth spurt and rev their engines the day after I chop down the vile orae – and then laugh at me as I walk by them on my way to the garage to leave for work the next morning.

And then, this last week, the temperature began to climb. And continued to climb. A lot. Into miserable and serious zones. My plants are blooming, mostly quite well. The human who cares for them, not so much. I love summer, but I understand the seriousness of the current, albeit (thankfully.) short-lived event we are currently enduring.

So now my plans for a luscious garden are being

Doppler Radar and wind farm interference I am for clean, renewable energy if it is safely sited and if it does not interfere with the advanced severe weather notiďŹ cation delivered by the Owensville Doppler Radar.

Have you found yourself tracking severe weather across the Tri-State via one of our local TV stations? I have and I’m grateful for the advancement in technology for detecting storms with Doppler Radar.

In Illinois, a wind farm operated by a global energy company, E.ON, sits 20 miles from a Doppler Radar. During a severe storm near this wind operation, the tracking of a tornado was lost by the Doppler and the tornado was not seen until it came out of the windfarm. E.ON’s wind project in Ill., with 390 feet tall wind turbines, masked a tornado that was 20 miles away from the Doppler; some residents left their safe shelter thinking the coast was clear.

The distance of the Owensville radar to the Posey/Gibson line is four miles, to Cynthiana ďŹ ve miles, to Fort Branch ďŹ ve miles, and to Princeton just over 10 miles; all these towns and some beyond would lose forecasting from the Doppler with wind farm interference. Forecasters depend on the radar to tell them there’s rotation before a tornado exists. This is how they give advanced warning to the local residents.

The Posey/Gibson proposed turbine project by E.ON, placed too close to our Doppler radar (located in Owensville) will yield moderate to severe interference due to contaminating data on multiple radar scan levels, according to expert testimony from Don Waddell, physicist, previous Emergency Manager, licensed FCC radio operator, and a member of the American Meteorological Society .

The wind turbines cause air turbulence that skews the Doppler reading. Doppler radar works by bouncing a microwave signal o a desired target and analyzing how the object’s motion has altered the frequency of the returned signal (Wikipedia).

The lower two Doppler scan levels show low level rotation or what we know as tornado formation. The proposed height of the turbines in the Tri-State area is 200 feet taller than the wind turbines which obstructed the Doppler in Illinois.

The taller the turbine and the larger the blade and rotors, the greater the interference to multiple scan levels.

There are some key issues of which everyone in the Tri-State area needs to be aware. This wind project does not just aect those living next to the turbines; this will impact the entire Tri-State if the turbines are located too close to the Doppler in Owensville.

The following are important considerations regarding Doppler Radar and public safety: 1) The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) states that “Impacts increase greatly as wind turbines are sited closer to the radar, especially within 18 km [11.1mi] as radar operator workarounds become more diďŹƒcult.â€?

The entire wind turbine project, as currently proposed in Gibson and Posey counties, is within 10 miles of our doppler.

2) From the National Weather Service (NWS) FAQs page on wind turbine interference to the radar; [at] “this time there is NO known way to ďŹ lter out turbine blade clutter.â€? In other words, there is no way to prevent radar interference other than proper siting of the turbines.

3) The energy company, E.ON, told me there is equipment that can be applied to the Doppler to remove interference. When I asked NOAA about this equipment, Jessica Schultz, Deputy Director of Radar Operations Center (ROC) Norman, OK, said “There is NO equipment that can be installed to reduce the impact of wind turbines.â€? Don Waddell conďŹ rmed, “No, there is no technology that would remove the interference.â€?

Depression in Ethiopia on the continent of Africa by Donald Johanson, Yves Coppens and Maurice Taieb who named the humanoid bones they found “Lucy� and dated her at about three million years old. Regardless of what evidence one follows, virtually every recognized authority on human history agrees every person who has ever lived can be traced back to this area of Africa. For us to return to our roots we would have to visit our grandmother Lucy or perhaps some other related fossil nearby. I will not attempt to determine how many “greats� that is.

I do know if Lucy was anything like my mother was she probably wondered why it took a couple of

million years or so before any of her fourteen billion descendants paid her any attention; why can’t those kids, grandkids, etc., ever write home?

Anyway, I got to thinking about Lucy when the media began to report on President Trump’s tweets about The Squad: Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (Democrat, Massachusetts) born in Cincinnati, Ohio of African American heritage; Ilhan Omar (Democrat, Minnesota) born in Somali, Africa; Rashida Tlaib (Democrat, Michigan) born in Detroit, Michigan of Palestinian lineage; and, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Democrat, New York) born in the Borough of Queens in New York City and of Puerto Rican parents.

4) Some believe that the Paducah Doppler radar or neighboring doppler radars can be used to view our area during threatening weather if the Owensville Doppler is aected. Again, Jessica Schultz from NOAA stated that in the context of negative impacts due to wind turbines, surrounding radars will not provide the low-level coverage that is lost by the Owensville Radar. The NWS in Paducah, KY, stated, that if we (NWS) can’t see the lowlevel rotation on the radar, “We likely wouldn’t be able to conďŹ rm the presence of a tornado without spotter conďŹ rmation.â€?

5) E.ON has promised to provide storm spotters as a means of overcoming the Doppler interference issue. It is imperative to remember that storm spotters are important but they CONFIRM what the Doppler is seeing. The Doppler is the only means of giving advanced notice to residents. If a storm spotter sees a tornado, it is too LATE to give advanced warning to those that require the extra time to get to safety.

6) If this is a public safety issue then why hasn’t the NWS alerted the public? Let me make this VERY CLEAR. NOAA/NWS has no legal authority to prevent a wind project because it could be viewed as lobbying and is a prosecutable oense. The FAA cannot stop a wind turbine project for weather radar concerns. It is only the public that can raise the concern on the impact that this turbine project can have on our Doppler Radar and demand that an analysis of wind interference be performed by the NTIA (National Telecommunications Information Administration) and require the analysis be given to the impacted county governments.

7) The aforementioned NTIA analysis is not required by the county, state or federal government. It is a voluntary analysis that is performed at the request of the energy company, E.ON. Our safety is determined by E.ON’s willingness to ďŹ le for this analysis and to voluntarily abide by the recommendations from NTIA. Even if E.ON ďŹ les for the analysis, E.ON is not required to inform the public of the ďŹ ndings nor are they required to adjust the siting of the wind turbines based on any discoveries from the analysis. It is hard to imagine that this lack of oversight with public safety is allowed to take place in the 21st century.

How many times a year have you found yourself glued to the TV watching a local weatherman track a storm? Personally, I have watched storms, via TV, as they have moved across Illinois and into the Tri-State. I’ve moved into a safe shelter when advised by the meteorologists. Frequently, the weathermen speak of Doppler indicated tornados or situations in which the conditions, based on Doppler, are perfect for a tornado to form.

The interference that a wind turbine will cause would, in eect, blind our local forecasters to severe weather. We are fortunate to have excellent scientiďŹ c equipment which gives us the advanced warning we need to get everyone to safety before a storm hits. Children in schools, the elderly in nursing homes, patients in the hospital, those with disabilities, and everyone else depend on this extra time to get to safety. This extra time would no longer be available to those in our immediate area and also surrounding area if the wind turbines are placed in a way that causes interference.

If the energy company allows these large turbines to be sited improperly and at an unsafe distance from Doppler Radar in Owensville, we will be turning back our weather prediction to the 1950’s. Shouldn’t we be outraged that this could happen? Posey and Gibson County residents, contact your town board members and county commissioners and require that they keep our communities safe.

The garden continues to grow and bloom in their perfect season. Next year, it will be perfect, right?.

My plants are handling this not-so-typical weather with grace and courage. They, like us, will survive the many unexpected changes and life issues thrown at them. Like the plants, we humans bend and sway and sweat with the challenges in our life. And we move on and continue to bloom and grow and share our beauty with those around us. And those pesky weeds? They are just plants in the wrong place – not inherently bad, just out of place, sharing their own beauty, as well.

Walter Ray Tucker On June 22, 2019, while surrounded by his children, Walter Ray Tucker went home to the Lord.

Walter was born September 17, 1929 in East Chicago, Ind., to Clyde and Edna Tucker. He spent his childhood in central and southern Ill., before landing in southwest Ind. Walter graduated from Griffin High School in 1948. Walter enjoyed sports while in school, primarily basketball and baseball. It was also during high school that he met his future wife, Bessie Strickland.

Walter was drafted into the Army in 1951. He and Bessie married on June 4 of that year during his furlough after basic training.

Walter served two years with the 28th Division, one of those years being in West Germany. After discharge, Walter became a full-time student at Evansville College where he received a BA in Business Administration. It was also during this time that he became a father when his son, Steven, was born in 1954. His daughters, Stephanie and Sandra, were born in 1957 and 1959.

His children fondly remember the many vacations and weekends spent camping, and always fishing, with family and friends. Because of his son, Walter coached Little League, started a Cub Scouts group, and continued as a scout leader for several years.

Walter spent thirty-six years working for Continental Oil Company/Conoco.

His job moved him and his family to Oklahoma in 1971, and then on to Louisiana where he spent his last thirteen years with the company. After retirement in 1992, he and Bessie moved to Yukon, Okla., to be closer to his children and grandchildren. During retirement, Walter enjoyed a variety

By Lois Mittino Gray July starts the lengthy budget discussions at Mount Vernon School Board meetings and true to form, the July 15 meeting lasted well over two hours.

The Operations and Debt Service Funds will be featured at the August 5 meeting. From there, the board will give permission to advertise the entire 2020 budget at the August 19 meeting. Audience members traditionally bring snacks to offset the meeting’s length and this year everyone was treated to cheese trays and fruit plates.

A complete business meeting was conducted before the budget presentation. In personnel matters, the board confirmed the employment of Jessica Bell and Hannah Kilgore as teacher assistants in remediation at West Elementary and Abigail Compton as a staff teacher there. Megan Hipp was hired as a teacher assistant in Special Education part-time at Saint Wendel School.

Nina Lefler will replace Meghann Herrenbruck as a teacher at Farmersville Elementary. Kassandra “Casey” Spindler will be the new high school head softball coach, replacing David Bell, who retired after forty years. She was formerly the assistant softball coach on half stipend.

They also accepted the following resignations effective immediately: Jamie Hill as a high school Spanish teacher, Timothy Hulsey as Senior class sponsor, and Hannah Kilgore as a teacher assistant in special education at West Elementary. School Superintendent Matt Thompson said the open Spanish position is now being advertised, but should they not be able to get one in time for school to start, the subject will still be offered. Also accepted was the intent to retire from Nancy Clark, custodian at Marrs, effective July 31, 2019.

In other board action: • created a Tobacco Coordinator position to be totally paid with $60,000 in grant funds from the Indiana State Department of Health. The grant is for two years. A job description has been prepared for the position, which will be under the supervision of Kyle Jones. The person hired will advocate for smoke free environments in all Posey County schools and county business locations. It is being advertised now. Board Member Kathy Weinzapfel asked if the person will work out of the home. Dr. Thompson replied in the affirmative, but said if equipment or space at school was needed, they could supply it.

• adopted a resolution permitting the periodic transfer of $60,000 per month for the months of July through December, 2019 from the Education Fund to the Operations Fund to reimburse the Operations Fund for expenses that are not allocated to student instruction and learning.

• granted permission to high school girls’ soccer to participate in team camp at Butler University on dates that include Sunday, July 21, 2019 as requested.

• Information to the board included the Self-Insurance Fund Report which was good news, as there was more revenue coming in with premiums paid, than claims made. A meal payment plan was presented on loaning meal money and alternate meals to students lagging behind in payment. Superintendent Thompson said the “community is very generous about volunteering to give money to cover student meals if need be. I get asked all the time,” he noted.

• Also discussed was a “promoting our schools” upcoming information campaign and I-Learn information. “It will be harder for a parent to request a rescore. They must request individual questions to be rescored, not the entire test. This may deter many,” he observed.

• Thompson said that progress on resurfacing the football field is going great and the turf should be put down in the next week.

The air conditioning work at the Junior High is completed, too.

• The 2019 Annual Financial Report was passed out to board members. Anyone wishing to peruse it may do so at the Administration Offices.

• Carol Stratton, a district Financial Systems Analyst, has completed the certification process and has been designated as a Business Office Specialist by the Indiana Association of School Business Officials. This certification reflects more than 66 hours of instruction and acknowledges the experience and knowledge that Carol has worked to bring to her area.

• The next board meeting is set for Monday, August 5 at 5:45 p.m. Meetings will resume in the Mount Vernon Junior High School library again, beginning in August, as the air conditioning is repaired.

Madeleine, mid-July is when subtle changes start to be noticeable. I can recall in past years, I have written that this is when mother nature stops to take a breath. Despite the fact that lots of summer activities remain, there is a dierence. Early in the morning, there is a stillness. Most birds have found their mates, built nests, and reared their hatchlings. They no longer call out to each other. This is a rest time for them, too. Before long, they will have to prepare for the long cold months.

Human beings do not pay much attention to all of this; they are still consumed with vacations, softball tournaments, and bierstubes.

The main concession to July is to start buying school supplies, and ďŹ gure out if “Little Johnnieâ€? can still wear his coat from last year.

Children seem to grow faster in the summer.

It is a vastly altered time from my childhood, of course. Even if last year’s backpack

is in near perfect condition, a new one is necessary. Children in decades past were allowed to wear their “good shoes� out to play, because they would most likely be out-grown by autumn. This was especially true then, because school did not begin in the middle of the summer. Yes, I rant about this every year, because it is one of the most stupid new ideas.

Our family used to wait to go on summer vacation until nearly the end of August. Today’s children may have lots of great things, like computers, and air-conditioned classrooms, but the missing thing is time. When we reach adulthood, there is plenty of our lives left to have to hurry.

I am sure many people remember when school was dismissed at noon, if it was a really hot day. Farmers counted on having their kids around to do chores for another month.

Mostly, youngsters had a little longer to rest their brains and bodies. I go on about this for no reason, because it will never change back.

Madeleine, as always, I muse about what you would write about in the future, perhaps at my age. It will be about 2080, and that is far beyond imagination. Will the bad things have

Red Cross - BLOOD EMERGENCY Following a diďŹƒcult Fourth of July week for blood and platelet donations and ongoing challenges ďŹ nding new blood donors, the American Red Cross now faces a blood shortage and has issued an emergency call for eligible individuals of all blood types to give now and prevent delays in medical care.

About 450 fewer blood drives were organized by businesses and other community groups last week than during a typical week as people across the country celebrated the holiday with activities and travel.

This led to about 17,000 fewer blood donations than needed for patients in a single week, causing the Red Cross to now have less than a three-day supply of most blood types available – and less than a two-day supply of type O blood – for patients. At least a ďŹ ve-day supply is desired.

The Midwest is home to many families who have made farming their life and career for generations.

Farms have been passed down, from generation to generation with families maintaining and living from their land. Homegrown Heritage will present the stories of local farm families as they reminisce about their memories of growing up on the farm. Homegrown Heritage highlights the personal stories of our local farm families as we meet a wide range of men and women who share the good and the bad times of farm life during the 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s. The documentary will focus on what is was like growing up on a farm, the celebrations

Missing Types sees encouraging response, but all donors needed now In June, the Red Cross launched the Missing Types campaign to encourage donors – especially new donors and those who have not donated in the past years – to give blood or platelets during the challenging summer months.

Through the campaign, the letters A, B and O – letters that make up the main blood groups – disappeared from popular brands to symbolize what happens when blood goes missing from hospital shelves during blood shortages.

Despite an encouraging response to the campaign, blood donations still fell short of expectations in June, resulting in more than 24,000 fewer donations than needed, and causing a signiďŹ cant draw down of the Red Cross blood supply.

“Blood is only available when generous blood and platelet donors roll up a sleeve to give, and right now, all donors – especially those who have never given or haven’t given in a while – are urged to make an appointment to give today,� Numark added.

How to help Donors of all blood types, especially type O, are urged to make an appointment to donate using the Blood Donor App, at RedCrossBlood. org or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Donation appointments and completion of a RapidPass online health history questionnaire are encouraged to help reduce the time it takes to donate.

Those interested in hosting a blood drive can learn more and sign up to sponsor a drive this summer by visiting RedCrossBlood.org/HostADrive.

been partially resolved? Will human beings ďŹ nally have ďŹ gured out a solution for climate change?

The bigger question is whether or not the next few generations will have turned their backs on the stupidity and hate from my time.

I can only hope. I like to picture a future when young folks will only read about prejudice and intolerance in history books. It won’t be preached at their family dinner tables.

Sometimes, it seems like nothing ever changes, but if we take a look back at television shows from a few decades ago, we see how altered many things are. Detectives like Columbo and Monk did not use advanced DNA and other modern forensics to solve murders. They could not converse with each other with small microphones on their shirt. If they had to make a call, it was with an enormous “car phone�.

There were no cameras every few feet to check with. Not everyone would agree but I hope that technology will perfect an advanced method to replace microchipping of today. Every pet, child, old person, and murderers will never be lost again. Loss of “privacy� won’t matter to those who have nothing to hide. If I get old and confused, I want someone to be

able to ďŹ nd me. This one simple thing would solve so many problems.

Every single invention has always had its downside, and bad folks would try to ďŹ gure out a way to use this for evil, but hopefully, it would help so much more.

One of the biggest problems I hope is eventually solved is to assist folks in maintaining a safe and normal weight. I have battled this all of my life, and to see so many people much larger than I am makes me sad. Rather than assume all of them eat too much, we need to address a new way to make them have a metabolism like their thin friends. There are many who eat thousands of calories and remain small, while others gain a pound eating six potato chips.

Rearranging their insides may help, but a form of non-invasive gene therapy would be much better. Young folks should be someday tested for the markers that predict cancer and other diseases, with a way to head this o. I hope that your generation gets way down the road on some of these things.

Old superstitions and “rules� must be delegated to the past where they belong, and intelligent humans should concentrate on ways to save both ourselves and the planet.

National and Local News 100 Years Ago News From The Western Star, July 23, 1919 - Mount Vernon

Note: News in this issue includes the 1919 Chautauqua, the death of Frank Wilson, Civil War Veteran, a complaint about street dust from housewives, and much local news.

1919 Chautauqua One Of The Best - The 1919 Chautauqua came to a close Monday night after a six days’ session at the Junior High School campus, featuring one of the best programs ever given here. Too much credit can not be given the management, who without any compensation, have been untiring in their eorts to give us many enjoyable programs. Thursday night, Father Bauer introduced the speaker, Mr. Drury, who was at Chateau-Thierry and Soissons and was in Paris during the bombardment of that city. His descriptions of the war made a lasting impression with the audience.

Captain Joe Hanley lectured Sunday evening. The audience hung on every word about the action at Chateau-Thierry. Captain Hanley stated that just before the battle the order was passed for the men to “stand their ground,â€? and after two days and nights of ďŹ ghting they had moved back not a single inch, and on the morning of the third day, a big sergeant jumped up and started going forward, asking his comrades if they intended to stay there always. This was the beginning of the end and when the ďŹ ghting was over that day, the Germans had been driven back six miles.

Civil War Veteran Answers Last Call Frank Wilson passed away Tuesday morning at the residence of his son-in-law, James Monroe of Point Township, at the age of 78. Death was caused by a complication of diseases. Mr. Wilson was a veteran of the Civil War and served three years and six months in the war. He served in the 25th Ind. Infantry and was at Fort Donelson, Shiloh, and at many other notable engagements. He was one of the oldest patrons and readers of this newspaper and his visits to this oďŹƒce in times past were most pleasant. As a soldier, Mr. Wilson served with gallantry, and was a gentleman in civil life. Rev. Elijah Whipple (Baptist) will conduct the funeral services with interment in Bellefontaine Cemetery.

Raising Too Much Dust - If those in charge of the street sweeper on streets that are to be oiled, can’t devise some means to prevent the dust from ying all over creation and ďŹ lling every nook and corner of homes, the women folks on these streets will soon declare war. Awaiting the arrival of more oil, some streets have been swept two or three times, and the ladies of these homes have become tired of it.

Cars And Tractors - The Derrington Auto Co. has this week received a car load of

Oldsmobile touring cars, and now have them on display in their sales room, corner of Second Street and College Avenue. Moline Tractors - H. Brinkman Co., county agents for Moline Farm Tractors, has enjoyed a splendid business thus far this season. Wheat Crop - According to several well known farmers of this county, the county’s wheat crop will average as a whole around 15 bushels to the acre. Swimming In The Rivers - The young folks of this city of both sexes are nightly using the sandbars opposite this city and the bars on the Wabash as bathing beaches. They are all attired in regulation bathing suits.

Speech Of President Wilson - In his speech before the U. S. Senate, President Wilson paid tribute to the American soldier in one of the ďŹ nest utterances that ever came from his lips.

Men In Uniform News - Pvt. Louis Morlock has arrived home on U. S. soil from duty with the Army of Occupation in Germany. Pvt. Eddie Stallman has arrived in New York from overseas.

Local News And Personals - Marriage: Ralph Jordan and Miss Florence Stinson were united in marriage Tuesday at 8 p.m., at the home of the bride on Washington Avenue in Evansville. Local Visits And Calls - George M. Sailer of R.R. 8 gave us his annual call Tuesday.

Virgil D. Smith of Cynthiana transacted business in the city Tuesday. James Whitehead of New Harmony, is in our city visiting his aunt, Mrs. Alvin Hovey. Mr. and Mrs. Dalton Fletchall of Poseyville, were in the city Tuesday night to pick up their daughter, Virginia, who spent the week in Mount Vernon visiting friends. Mr. and Mrs. John Herrmann left Friday night for Indianapolis in the interest of selling Buick autos.

News From Mount Vernon 125 Years Ago, July 23, 1894 - Allen Shaw, residing four miles northeast of the city, lost his residence by ďŹ re Monday afternoon, supposed to have been caused by carelessly throwing a match into the wood-box after lighting his pipe. John Keck, who met with an accident at the foundry last week, has unfortunately lost his right eye, and since Saturday has been conďŹ ned to a dark room, suering miserably. William Gonnerman and daughter, Miss Katie, left Sunday for Soutra, Germany, all friends wish them a safe and pleasant voyage. Work upon the iron bridge across McFadden’s Creek east of the city, was commenced last Monday. June Bugs - Our city, Saturday was visited by millions of June bugs and every child in the city has one tied to a string.

“I could not ask for a better boss. Marc goes out of his way to let me know that I am appreciated and that he supports what I do in the National Guard.

JULY 23, 2019 New Harmony bids rejected, continued from Page 1A titled to fairness, are we being completely fair to him because another one came in late?”

Town Attorney Erin Bauer said the action was entirely fair, according to state statute. “The state allows you to reject any bid that is too low.

You must not accept any late offers. You can now go to an auctioneer or broker or advertise yourselves and allow everyone to rebid. Mr. Alsop may change his original bid.

Everything will be back to square one,” she described.

Attorney Bauer said the issue is not a highly-litigated one, she found only one other case like it in her search of precedence.

Blaylock reported he has been contacted by four people inquiring about the lots, but he told them they would not act on late bids. Only one was actually submitted after that and it was late. In the past, the board rejected offers from Rodney Wade of $45,000, and then $25,000, for the lots which are located in the floodplain. If Wade does offer a new bid this next time around, Councilman Roger Wade, under the advisement of Attorney Bauer, agreed to abstain from the process due to a sibling relationship.

The council voted to accept new bids until 4 p.m. on Monday, August 19, so they can be acted upon at the next council meeting on August 20. The stated minimum is $40,000, with a ten percent down payment expected, with closing to occur no later than sixty days after acceptance of the bid.

A financial commitment letter was approved to include with the 2019-Round 2 Community Crossings Grant application that is all ready to send. $191,237 will be the requested amount, with the town responsible for its matching part of $47,809.25. “The paving would be done in spring of 2020 and make Tavern, Park Avenue, and South Streets 100 percent completed, with a start on Brewery and Main Streets” Blaylock told the audience.

He also announced that a total of $12,910 was collected to date this year for upkeep of the town’s Maple Hill Cemetery. $11,125 came in mail donations and the ladies of Tri Kappa Sorority collected

$1,785 over the Memorial Day holiday. It was greatly appreciated.

In other council action: • Resolution 2019-2 was passed for the town to conduct its own municipal elections, in lieu of the County Election Board doing it. The County Board does determine the deadline to file by and it is August 1.

• A bid was accepted from Wabash Valley Tree Service to cut down and grind the stumps of the eight Bradford Pear trees that suffered storm damage on Granary Street for $6,400. Proper representatives of the Granary Board and the Blaffer Board will be contacted about the action.

• Flanders gave an update on the transfer of the Wabash River Bridge to the New Harmony Bridge Authority.

“Representative Buschon said the legislation to transfer the title will go to the House next week. They will do a suspension of rules and it will require a two thirds vote to pass. It is non-controversial legislation, so it should pass. When passed, it will go to Senate committees and it is pending on the Senate calendar. It’s very likely that once it passes the House, it will go through the Senate,” he said on a positive note.

• Flanders also gave an update on the FEMA remapping of the Wabash River. He had a conference call with FEMA Regional Project Director Christine Gaines, who wrote the original letter informing the town of the remapping project’s two year wait. Local residents Kent Parker and Tom Straw were included.

“She was helpful in answering some of the process questions on how data will be collected and the modeling used. There were some questions she was unable to answer on data collection, so she has scheduled another conference call for us with DNR personnel next week,” he said. “She is also preparing a timetable for us on when decisions will be made.

FEMA is being very receptive to the town and wants to do things correctly this time. I’m not certain the figures will go down for everybody, but it is likely it can help some with flood insurance costs.”

• Flanders had an initial prospectus in hand from Mor-

MVFD fire, continued from Page 1A ley Associates, a firm with much experience and recommended by Vanderburgh County Flood Management.

The firm has experience providing technical assistance for FEMA in remapping the Wabash Proposal. “This just came in this morning. It details a scope of services and they would look at the technical data, for us. Dependent on the FEMA timetable, it may take three months. Our goal is to get caught up in the early process.”

Blaylock asked for time for everyone to look at the proposal before making a decision to hire the consulting firm. They will address it at the August meeting.

• Under department reports, Blaylock said five fire hydrants will be installed in the near future and the date will be announced in advance for residents. Storm damage will continue to be worked on when the truck is available. It is going to the shop today. He also said there were four places that were dug up for gas valve replacement in town.

Flanders reported that the Solid Waste District will meet later that morning and is dealing with difficulty finding a replacement truck of the necessary size, equipment needs, and price for the county operation. He said the Posey County Economic Development Partnership will be meeting on Thursday and one issue they will address is whether to take a position on the wind farm question in the northern part of the county.

• Lastly, to end the meeting, Councilwoman Virginia Alsop read a letter aloud from Donnie Martin, who asked her to do so, as he could not attend the meeting. He was notified by the town that he is out of compliance with the 1973 pool ordinance. He asked several questions about it in his letter. What is its purpose, scope of coverage, and definition of fencing, as parts of the ordinance are somewhat unclear? He stated there are many other pool violations in town that seem to be overlooked. He has photos of five or more locations in town in violation of this ordinance, as it is written now. “I’ll be glad to sit down and discuss this with him,” Blaylock commented.

‘Jail’ continued from Page A1 derburgh County will fall short of funds and won’t sign it. This will be an issue the entire state will face. There is just not enough money to fund this. I think we need to lay it aside and continue with the $35 rate until this is resolved,” he explained.

Latham said he called State Senator Jim Tomes and Representative Wendy McNamara who promised to look into the finances of the state. He has not heard anything back as yet.

“We’re coming out OK to continue with the current rate. I just want to make you aware of the problem,” he said.

“It is what it is,” Commissioner Jay Price said with a shake of his head.

Under Old Business, the Commissioners approved ordinance 2019-07-02-01 after its second reading and a public hearing was held with no remonstrators. The ordinance establishes a $50 booking fee for any person convicted of an offense in the county, to offset taxpayer costs for jail training and equipment. The money would go into a separate account. “Other counties are doing this as well, including Vanderburgh County, and I am very happy we are moving in that direction, too,” Latham declared.

In other Commissioner action: • County Clerk Kay Kilgore appeared before the Commissioners to update information and request they pass resolution 2019-07-16-01 creating ten county voting centers, instead of the 21 precincts used before. “The County Election Board and the County Council have already unanimously passed resolutions approving it.

We will go from a staff of 105 poll workers to only 50 to 60 being needed, and it will require less equipment. I expect the change will increase voter turnout, as it will be more convenient. A resident can vote at any one of the ten in the county,” she described.

Kilgore noted that she has been to several clerk conferences around the state and has not heard anything negative from cities already using the voting center concept. County Attorney Joe Hamilton agreed with her statement saying Vanderburgh County has been using centers for ten years or so and he has never heard anything negative.

Commission President Carl Schmitz wondered how, with two different school board slates at opposite ends of the county, a person can vote at either end. “It’s all programmed into the computers, just like on absentee ballots,” Kilgore explained. When asked what will happen to the more remote locations, such as Smith and Pointe Township, the Clerk said a plan will be put together taking distance into consider-

THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS - PAGE A7

ation. “Citizens will have a thirty day period to ask questions and make comments when we present the plan,” she remarked. The resolution was approved.

Kilgore also asked the Commissioners to approve an $800 expenditure to replace an eight channel DVR that is not working on the second floor of the Coliseum Building. The cameras there are fine, and DVR installation will be done by Cellular Nation Video Security. It was approved and money will be taken out of the equipment line.

A discussion followed on testing all the panic buttons in the county offices to ensure they are working. It has not been done in a long time.

Schmitz asked that they be tested in the next day or so. Nonworking ones will be replaced and new ones will be put in at the third County Treasurer’s work station and the Building Commissioner’s office.

• Cathy Neaveill, Area Plan Commission representative, presented a petition to rezone the MAC (Multi Activity Center) at 6000 Indian Mounds Road from B-2 (Commercial General) zoning to M-2 (Medium Manufacturing). Roger Lehman, representing owner Ian Weatherford, spoke to the change telling the Commissioners that the building is primarily used as a fitness center now. The owner’s intent is to keep half of the structure as a fitness center and use the other half for his shop in back. He assured the Commissioners that there will be no change in the character of the structure and everything is up to code in it, including proper ventilation for his welding work. The change was approved since the APC made a unanimous motion to approve it 8-0 at its July 11 meeting.

• Posey County Highway Superintendent Steve Schenk reported that the Eastville Road Bridge, near the border with Gibson County, Number 58, is repaired, inspected, and just re-opened the day before. This bridge over the Black River has only a four ton limit on it now and is only for passenger cars and pickup trucks. “I see big heavy trucks crossing it. Maybe they will fall in. I can’t guard it all day,” he said in exasperation.

• Building Commissioner Ed Batteiger asked permission to pursue a software upgrade for his office, as “it has been seven or eight years since we did anything new with it.” He was asked to get prices and bring them to the next meeting.

• The Treasurer’s Report and Clerk’s Report for June was accepted, and minutes from the July 2 meeting were approved. All claims for the month were approved before the meeting was adjourned.

coming the next morning to assess damage to everything that was inside. To be determined on extent of damage is the new street sweeper, a mini-excavator, an asphalt roller and some miscellaneous shop equipment. Street signs stored inside have their coating curled from the heat. The building itself is still standing, but it is totaled.

Mayor Bill Curtis said they are dealing with two separate insurance companies. One handles equipment, and the other the packer trucks and the street sweeper. “Up to this point, they have been very responsive and helpful as they know the city is in a bind with no way to pick up trash.

Everything should be covered,” he said.

Commissioner Dieterle said he can get a packer truck Monday from Best Equipment on a lease/purchase for $197,307. He added to lease it would cost $7,300 per month, with a $1,495 transportation fee to get it down here. It would cost around $10,295 for the first month.

Curtis asked the term on the lease/purchase and the Commissioner replied they have three, five, and seven year options.

Attorney Beth Higgins said the Superintendent needs permission to make this purchase on an emergency basis. Trash pickup must continue for the health and safety of the community.

Leasing at a cost of $1,700 per week is high.

The Mayor feels the city should proceed with a lease/purchase, which he feels is the best option at this time. They will have to buy one anyway, with insurance money. It was approved. In addition, Dieterle asked residents to be patient. He stated they will adjust some routes and make do with their spare truck and a dump trailer.

Dixon also discussed that he would like to take advantage of the energy savings and discounts through Vectren that he brought up at their previous meeting for the Public Safety facility. The total cost would be $4,450, with $3,126 involving lighting on the fire department side and $1,324 on the police side. All of the high bay lights will be replaced free of charge with LED. The costs involve other areas that can save energy costs in the long run. The estimated payback on their investment is two years. He added they will also be installing four wall pack lights outside of the facility on the bays. This will cost $1,400 of the $3,126 for the fire department side. When the building was originally built, this was quoted at $9,000 and

was removed from the plan to save expense.

Board Member Larry Williams replied they will definitely notice a savings and the expenditure was approved.

In other board action: • Mount Vernon Police Chief Tony Alldredge requested use of the city credit card and vehicle for Animal Control Officer Hunter Reese to attend two trainings. One is Basic ACO Certification, in Corydon on August 18-20; the other is Chemical Immobilization in Noblesville on August 23. The County Health Department will be picking up the cost of the training itself. The Basic class will cover what all an ACO can legally do, what they can encounter, and how to catch and apprehend an animal while the immobilization class is to learn how to safely dart the animals to sedate them. Both were approved.

• Alldredge also reported they have finished the testing and background checks on the six applicants for the open officer position. He has emailed the board all of that information and interview dates for the six are set for July 30 and July 31 at 3:30 p.m. at the Public Safety Facility.

• Alldredge concluded his report by stating since the last meeting, four weeks ago, there were 490 calls. “Things warmed up with the heat,” the Mayor observed. Dixon reported, since the last meeting, his department had 66 calls. Nine were fire calls, 55 medical runs, and two car accidents with injuries.

• Dieterle reported since the last meeting they have brought in $1,360 in extra trash pickups and hauled 221 ton of trash to the landfill.

• Curtis announced that Utilities Superintendent Chuck had some health issues and could not attend the meeting. “He is fine now and will be back to work on Tuesday, but in his absence, I will report for him that the sewer department has flushed 13,656 feet of main since the last meeting.”

• In legal action, a joint Resolution of the Board of Works and Common Council, authorizing the Mayor and the Clerk-Treasurer to execute documents necessary for the purchase of 401, 403, and 409 Main Street in Mount Vernon passed unanimously. The authorized purchase price for 401 and 403 Main is $20,000 and 409 Main is $25,000, plus related closing fees for both transactions.

‘Golden Years’ continued from Page A1 and a church in Poseyville that donated summer snacks for children.

Last month, the food pantry was notified that the Baptist Church would like to do something else with the space. All that equipment and food will need to be moved to a new location. “The Baptist Church has been so generous with their space and utilities for a long time. I cannot thank them enough and all the volunteers and the support of the community,” Mrs. Gerard remarked gratefully.

Mary Ellen has been talking about calling it quits for the last two years. “To date, there’s been no one to step up and replace me. No takers, just people who said they might be interested.” Possible locations for the new pantry site are the former education classrooms in the Catholic Community Center or the Scout Cabin again. “I told the Baptist Church that I would like to see this through to the holidays. After that, we may have to shut down if there is no new location or someone to take my place,” she said sadly.

Mary Ellen, an Evansville native who graduated from Bosse High School and the Saint Mary’s School of Nursing, worked as a registered nurse at the Evansville State Hospital until she moved with her young family to New Harmony in 1966. She raised her two children, while her husband, Gary worked as the General Manager of Red Geranium Enterprises. The pair will celebrate sixty years of marriage in November, having been married on Thanksgiving Day. For 21 years, she was the school nurse at New Harmony School. She enjoyed working in the dining room of the Red Geranium restaurant for over thirty years.

Always one to stay busy, Mary Ellen has taught water aerobics classes three days a week at the New Harmony Inn Pool for the last 28 years. She is experiencing some “health issues” now and wants to give up the Food Pantry to address those. “I’ve never missed a delivery on the first Wednesday and giveaway on the third Thursday, so Gary and I could not travel very far,” she explained. “Now we can do some traveling.” The Gerards have been to many places in their restaurant work to date, but she would like to do a paddlewheel boat trip on the Mississippi River.

The pair have two children: Scott, 58; and Sally, 55; three grandchildren and six great-grandchildren to keep them on the go. The children enjoy playing board games together and visiting with their Poka (Gary) and Bonga (Mary Ellen), their endearing nicknames.

“Working the Food Pantry has been a rewarding experience for me. It was a labor of love. It is so needed, especially in this part of the county. I hope we can work out an alternative,” she speculated. If someone would like to talk with Mary Ellen about the pantry, she will take calls at 812-682-4077. “I would be more than happy to work with a new person and get them started. I will continue to volunteer to help.”

The Peace of Mind is Worth the Drive!

“We were not happy with our prior facility and made the decision to come to Premier Healthcare of New Harmony after the hospital discharge. Our first impression was it’s very homey, comfortable and we love the courtyard! The communication between the staff and our family is the biggest difference”

Recover the Right Way! After intensive rehab, the family reports, “It is a night and day difference. He is more alert, engaging and participates in activities.”

The best part for his spouse: “He is now having conversations when we visit and has been going to the courtyard to enjoy the flowers and birds. This is important as we have always loved the outdoors.”

Nothing makes us feel better than a heartfelt compliment from a patient and their family.

North Posey football shines in scrimmage

By Chris Morlan The North Posey football team traveled to Evansville Bosse last Wednesday night for a scrimmage. Teams scheduled for the scrimmage were Evansville Bosse, Princeton and North Posey. Princeton was a no-show for the event.

North Posey played Bosse with the teams splitting possessions with the football. Thirty-four football players dressed out for the Vikings. This years’ team is much bigger in size on the line than last season. Many new faces on this years’ team. There are new players on North Posey who never played high school football or have not played in many years. Some of these new players on the North Posey squad have done well in another sport they have played previously.

These newcomers bring that always win mentality to the Viking football program which should pay off in the long run.

This was a very warm day for a scrimmage with the heat The Move Mount Vernon summer youth camp 8- to 11-year-old participants are, left to right, Libby Steinhart, Ira index in the hundreds.

Three-time National Champ Koester dies A champion tractor puller from Posey County has died.

Larry Koester of Wadesville died in Tennessee.

The National Tractor Puller’s Association says he passed away in his sleep-while attending a tractor pull in Chapel Hill.

Despite losing both legs in a farming accident, he was known for his victories.

He went on to become a 3-time Grand National Champion and lead the Koester Racing Team in Posey County.

Larry Koester was 64-years old.

In a story about Koester written a few years ago, it went this way.

One tragic accident in 1986 changed Larry Koester’s life forever. He was driving a tractor down his driveway when the bank beneath it collapsed.

“When it caved away way the tractor turned upside-down, and I went with it,” Koester said.

Koester was knocked unconscious while the steering wheel pinned his legs, and leaking gas fell onto his body. When the tractor caught fire, 42 percent of body was severely burned.

“I didn’t wake up for six weeks, so they didn’t know what

was going to happen,” he said.

The burns forced doctors to amputate his legs.

“The depression was terrible, because I was a 6’3” and 220-pound guy, very athletic. And I couldn’t do anything. I was 136 pounds when I got out of the hospital,” Koester said.

A few weeks later at home, he heard his three-year-old daughter calling for him.

“I tried to put myself in my wheelchair, and I just couldn’t put myself in it,” he said. “I wasn’t strong enough. So I opted to do what I call knuckles and butt, pick yourself up with your hands and scootch.

“I went down the hallway and went in the room, and of course I had tears in my eyes. I look in the corner and there’s this three-year-old girl and she’s got tears rolling down her eyes.

She walks across the room, puts her arms around my neck, and she goes, ‘Don’t cry Daddy. I love you even without your legs.”

And his lowest point became a turning point.

“She didn’t care that I didn’t have any legs,” Koester said.

“I don’t think she’d care if I had no arms. She wanted a daddy.

And I decided to be a daddy.”

‘Scrimmage’ continued from Page B1 having the scrimmage without shoulder pads. Shortly before the two teams faced each other, the temperature went down a few degrees and the football players played in shoulder pads and helmets.

This scrimmage gave the fans an early glimpse of this seasons program. This will be North Posey Head Coach Waylon Schenk’s third season at the helm.

The two schools started the scrimmage with each team ten plays each on offense and another ten minutes on defense on this seven-on-seven drill while the lineman from both schools competed in separate drills on the other side of the fifty-yard line. The scoreboard was not on and the score was not being recorded during this scrimmage.

After the seven-on-seven drills, the scrimmage went to eleven on eleven possessions with each team getting tenminutes on offense and defense. North Posey’s defense was tough and shut down Bosse from ever reaching the end zone. The Vikings found the end zone six times in the scrimmage. Bosse is a very fast team and probably the fastest team North Posey will see on a field this year.

After the scrimmage, Schenk said, “I think it went well. When we went to North to scrimmage against North and Boonville three weeks ago. I felt like we were not organized and blown some coverages, but it was early. Our goal is to progress every time we have

an opportunity. I thought we executed well tonight. Seeing some speed in Bosse is always a challenge, other than one play we contained them. We kept them inside, we kept them underneath us. Defense did not give up any scores.

The offense put six touchdowns on the board. I am really happy with the progress that we have made over the last three weeks.”

The Vikings have another scrimmage at Mount Carmel against some Illinois high schools on July 29 and 30. North Posey’s first official practice is on Monday, August 5. The regular season begins on Friday, August 23 at home against South Spencer with a 7 p.m. kickoff.

Bryan A. Ruder - Stifel Ruder Investment Group Pursuing Philanthropic Goals With a Donor-Advised Fund Looking for a simple and exible way to leave an impactful legacy to your favorite charitable organizations? Consider a donor-advised fund.

A donor-advised is a charitable giving vehicle that is maintained and operated by a sponsoring organization, typically a community foundation or ďŹ nancial institution, such as a brokerage ďŹ rm or mutual fund company. In essence, it served as a place to pool your money now and make charitable donations later.

The amount required to open an account in a donor-advised fund varies by sponsoring organization (some require as little as $5,000), and you can fund an account using cash, securities (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc.), and in some cases even real estate and other non-traditional assets.

Contributions made to a donor-advised are irrevocable, meaning that once you make the contribution, the sponsoring organization has legal control over it and you cannot withdraw the funds for your own use. However you retain decision-making privileges with respect to the distribution of funds and the investment of assets in the account.

The major beneďŹ t of contributing to a donor-advised fund is that you receive an immediate tax deduction for your contribution but can wait until a later date to select which IRS-qualiďŹ ed charities you would like to support. As you decide how to direct your donations, the money invested in your account has the opportunity

to grow on a tax-free basis, potentially giving you the opportunity to make larger gifts in the future.

If you have assets that have increased in value over time, you may ďŹ nd a donor-advised fund to be particularly appealing. By contributing appreciated assets held for more than a year directly to a donor-advised fund, you will not only receive a tax deduction based on their current market value, you will also avoid having to pay capital gains taxes. As an extra bonus, you will reduce the gross value of your estate by the amount of the contributed assets.

Other beneďŹ ts of donor-advised funds include the option to make donations anonymously and the ability to designate heirs as successor donor advisors to continue your legacy of giving after you pass away.

In addition to favorable tax beneďŹ ts, donor-advised funds also oer you the convenience and exibility to support your favorite charities at any time, similar to a private foundation, but without the costs and administrative burdens. For more information on how donor-advised funds can play a role in your charitable giving plans and assistance with selecting a sponsoring organization that best ďŹ ts your needs, consult your Stifel Financial Advisor and tax professional today.

The Boom Project:

Voices of a Generation

Please join us for a very special book launch and reading on Saturday, August 17, 2019 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Mason-Nordgauer Fine Arts Gallery at 510 Main Street in New Harmony Indiana.

Co-editors, Bonnie Omer Johnson and Kimberly Crum, will present “The Boom Project: Voices of a Generation,� a collection of stories, essays and poems by writers, born between 1946 and 1964, who have lived (or are living now) in communities along the Ohio River, between Pittsburgh, Pa., and Cairo, Ill. Crum and Johnson put out a call for submissions across the Ohio River Valley for a new kind of collection, one that celebrates baby boomer

experiences and perspectives.

The result is an extraordinary anthology, filled with writing that is provocative, lush, witty, accessible, and universal.

Contributors write about the river, home, cultural events, coming of age, and the coming of aging. These stories, essays, and poems are relatable to anyone who has ever searched for identity, connections, and a place to call home.

Doors open at 7 p.m. and the presentation will begin at 7 p.m. A question / answer and book signing will follow.

Presentation limited to 35 guests. Guests must be 21+.

This is a free event; but, reservations are required. Please email our gallery at dan@mnfinearts.com. Appetizers and cash bar will also be available.

The county auditor and county treasurer will apply on or after 8/19/2019 for a court judgment against the tracts or real property for an amount that is not less than the amount set out below and for an order to sell the tracts or real property at public auction to the highest bidder, subject to the right of redemption. Any defense to the application for judgment must be filed with the Posey County Circuit Court and served on the county auditor and treasurer before 8/19/2019. The court will set a date for a hearing at least seven (7) days before the advertised date of sale and the court will determine any defenses to the application for judgment at the hearing. The county auditor and the county treasurer are entitled to receive all pleadings, motions, petitions, and other filings related to the defense to the application for judgment.

Such sale will be held on 9/05/2019 at the Hovey House, Commissioners’ Room and that sale will continue until all tracts and real property have been offered for sale.

Property will not be sold for an amount which is less than the sum of: (A) the delinquent taxes and special assessments on each tract or item of real property; and (B) the taxes and special assessments on the real property that are due and payable in the year of the sale, whether or not they are delinquent; and (C) all penalties due on the delinquencies, and (D) an amount prescribed by the county auditor that equals the sum of: (1) twenty-five dollars ($25) for postage and publication costs; and (2) any other costs incurred by the county that are directly attributable to the tax sale; and (E) any unpaid costs due under IC 6-1.1-24-2(c) from a prior tax sale.

No property listed below shall be sold if, at any time before the sale, the Total Amount for Judgment is paid in full.

If the real property is sold in the tax sale, the amount required to redeem such property will be 110% of the minimum bid for which the tract or real property was offered at the time of sale, if redeemed not more than six (6) months after the date of sale, or 115% of the minimum bid for which the tract or real property was offered at the time of sale, if redeemed more than six (6) months after the date of sale, plus the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the minimum bid on the real property plus five percent (5%) per annum interest on the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the minimum bid on the property. All taxes and special assessments upon the property paid by the purchaser subsequent to the sale, plus five percent (5%) per annum interest on those taxes and special assessments, will also be required to be paid to redeem such property.

In addition, IC 6-1.1-25-2 (e) states the total amount required for redemption may include the following costs incurred and paid by the purchaser or the purchaser’s assignee or the county before redemption: (1) The attorney’s fees and cost of giving notice under IC 6-1.1-25-4.5; (2) The costs of title search or examining and update the abstract of title for the tract or item of real property. The period of redemption shall expire on Tuesday, September 08, 2020 for certificates sold in the tax sale. For certificates struck to the county, the period of redemption may expire Friday, January 03, 2020.

If the tract or item of real property is sold for an amount more than the minimum bid and the property is not redeemed, the owner of record of the property who is divested of ownership at the time the tax deed is issued may have a right to the tax sale surplus.

The Auditor and Treasurer specifically reserve the right to withhold from the sale any parcel which has been listed in error, or which otherwise becomes ineligible for sale either prior to 9/05/2019 or during the duration of the sale.

This notice of real property tax sale, and the tax sale itself are undertaken and will be conducted pursuant to the requirements of the laws of the State of Indiana which regulate the sale of land for delinquent taxes, pursuant to I.C. 6-1.1-24-1 et seq.

The County does not warrant the accuracy of the street address or common description of the property, and a misstatement in the key number or street address does not invalidate an otherwise valid sale.

Minimum bid amounts are prescribed by law and are subject to change prior to the auction date.

Pursuant to IC 6-1.1-24-3(e), property descriptions may be omitted for properties appearing on the certified list in consecutive years. A complete property list may be obtained at www.sriservices.com or in an alternative form upon request.

Nancy Hasting takes highest Extension Award Named ‘Outstanding Homemaker of the Year’ for 2019

By Pam Robinson This past May 7, Posey County Extension Homemakers celebrated their members during the annual achievement banquet. One of the most anticipated announcements of the evening was the award of the “Outstanding Homemaker of the Year,” the highest achievement for an Extension Homemaker.

This year, the judges agreed popular Posey County leader Nancy Hasting deserved the award.

She received a necklace engraved with her new “homemaker of the year” title. As her club, Members on the Move, insisted in its nomination letter, “To us, Nancy embodies all the beliefs of Extension Homemakers in our club creed.”

We believe in the present and its opportunities, in the future and its promise, in everything that makes life large and the lovely, in the divine joy of living and helping others, and so we endeavor to pass on to others that which has benefited us, striving to go onward and upward, reaching the pinnacle of economic perfection, in improving, enlarging, and endearing the greatest institution in the world—The Home. – Extension Homemakers Creed To say the least, the creed sets forth a high ideal. As Members on the Move explained, though, Nancy Hasting achieves the ideal through her wide-ranging accomplishments. She is a homemaker’s homemaker.

The award nomination letter outlines the roles Nancy assumes as a homemaker to elevate her life and the lives of those around her.

She serves as wife, mother, friend, lifelong church member, cook, bread maker, quilter, flower and garden expert, business owner, cookbook and family history author—and more.

Out of the 24 years Members on the Move has stood as a club, Nancy has participated as a member for 20 years (after first joining an Extension Homemakers club that disbanded). During that 20 years, she has served as an officer for 16 years— as treasurer for seven years and, recently, as president for nine years.

For Nancy, the Extension Homemakers’ lessons and demonstrations, especially in cooking, repaid her dues. Above all, though, the most valuable part of Extension Homemakers for her is meeting with club members.

“I like the fellowship that we have with the people in my club and the county events,” she says. “We’re all good friends. We just have fun.”

Her membership in Extension Homemakers supports family tradition. The daughter of Purdue graduates, Chester and Betty Vanada of Newburgh, Nancy grew

up on a hog and grain farm.

She was a ten-year member of 4-H and looked forward

“I wanted to join [Extension Homemakers] when I moved here,” she states. The

move followed her marriage to her college sweetheart, Mike Hasting, a fellow Purdue graduate, in 1979.

Here’s to all 4-H Exhibitors...

Job Well Done!

Soon afterward in 1982, she opened Hasting Plants in Point Township with one greenhouse. The business boasts six greenhouses now in its 37th season this year. Her mother’s mother, Grandmother Fay Ray of Parke County, kindled her passion for flowers and plants.

“We’d go visit, and I can remember going up and staying for a week. They’d [her parents] drop me off and leave me for a while,” Nancy recalls. “I can remember going through seed catalogs with her and just going out and working in the garden with her and working with her flowers. I always attribute my love of that to her.”

Her grandmother taught her to appreciate hand quilt-

ing also. Nancy recollects she completed her first quilt—machine embroidered, pieced, and quilted— about 1992. Since then, her quilts have been displayed at the Indiana State Fair.

Most recently, Nancy has been in the spotlight for her book on family history— “A Tragedy of the Great War: The Story of Chester Schulz,” her father’s namesake. It tells the story through letters and photos of her great uncle’s military service in World War I. The local NPR station, WNIN, created a documentary on the story as well (still available in the tv and radio archives at news.wnin.org).

Nancy becomes animated in discussing her legendary great uncle. Her enthusiasm provides just one more

indication how much she cares about home and family. “Everyone should have a passion in life and then have someone want to make a documentary about it,” she believes.

Visitors to Nancy’s greenhouses will remember her children, Daniel and Diane.

Daniel (31) works with computers for IU Health in Indianapolis. Diane (26) is a pediatric ER nurse in Fort Wayne and is marrying in September.

Whether sowing plants or sewing quilts, booking or cooking, Extension Homemaker Nancy Hasting is a member on the move.

People can be glad when her path intersects with theirs.

She’s sure to teach anyone the best happiness is homemade.

Chris Woods creates his own children’s wonderland Kids Zone is a huge attraction for the youngsters at Posey County Fair 2019

By Lois Mittino Gray Wadesville resident Chris Woods looked around and paid attention when he attended other fairs around the state with his children. He watched them enjoy hands-on participation activities for their age level. He made a mental note to try doing something similar at the Posey County Fair. His dream came to fruition this year with a fantastic 4-H mini farm and other activities at the popular ‘Kids Zone.’

Woods is a 4-H Council member, who has worked hard to bring back the Kids Zone after it fell into the doldrums for a few years. This year, with a new refurbished building, homemade farm toys, wheeled horses to ride, live chicks hatching out, corn to load, and stuffed farm animals to feed and clean up after, the Zone was a fair “hot spot”.

“Last year, I started out by trying a few crafts in the Exhibit Hall, like building wooden boats and dipping handmade candles. It was OK, but not very many kids stopped by,” he recounted. “So this year, I started in January creating something my three kids would enjoy. Back in the winter, I asked Keck-Gonnerman if I could use their old commercial building next to the Exhibit Hall. They said yes and I cleaned out thirty years of spiders and dirt!”

Woods began working on his “vision” of a Mini-farm in the expanded area. He designed fenced sections with cute stuffed pigs and cows that could be fed and watered in their troughs. There were even pretend manure piles that needed to be cleaned up using the kids-sized farm toys. One wall had a bevy of stuffed chickens whose eggs needed to be collected and put in baskets.

One popular fenced pasture was filled with toy horses that could be ridden by the children. “We have one in every size from about 18 month toddler size to up to 200 pounds,” Woods noted. He is grateful to Heritage Federal Credit Union, who donated the money for the UFree and Little Tykes horses.

Kids stopped by all Wednesday night to look when the dozen chicks in the incubator started hatching out. Two were out running around under heat lights in a wood chip pen

by Thursday, with a third out on display by Friday morning after needing “a little help” to emerge. A big poster filled with names children suggested for the young chicks was a favorite stopping spot nearby. “We had about 200 kids come through Thursday night, it was great fun,” Woods observed.

“Jennifer Willett donated the eggs to us and it sure was a hit.”

Shelled corn could be put through a play

funnel to fill feed bags or put in the animal troughs. Diversified Services Agency donated money for the corn and helped pay for the farm implements. Superior Ag donated money for the farm tractors and H&M Farm Toys offered them at discounted prices to Woods.

A remarkable thing is the work Chris put into making kid-sized farm implements.

“No one mass produces this kind of toy, so I hand made them. I’m taking them home after we close up for the fair. Sawyer would kill me if I didn’t take them home. He loves to play on them,” the artisan said with a big smile. There is a hay wagon, a disc, a corn planter, a mower, and a cool silo. The handy man also won a Grand Champion ribbon entering the scarecrow in open competition that he created for the farm, named Leonard.

“Eisterhold Farms was a premiere sponsor. They donated the materials and poured the permanent concrete track for the Tractor Pedal Pull we had on Thursday night.

It used to be in front of the stage, but now we can do it much better here in front of our building. Mike Wassmer and the North Posey FFA conduct the pull and present the trophies in five weight classes,” he explained.

Each night visiting children received “freebies” donated by local businesses.

Monday was hats from Mycogen Seeds, Tuesday was hats from Channel Seeds, and Wednesday was Hutson Frisbees and Juncker Outdoor Power cups. On Thursday, Eisterhold Farm donated Pioneer Seed hats.

“What’s Friday?” I asked. “Everything left over and not given away. Fire Sale,” he replied with a grin.

Woods and his wife, Emily, are the parents of three children: Olivia, 13; Sawyer, 5; and Nolan, 2. “They are the reason I got so involved in 4-H,” he observed. Chris grew up in Solitude and graduated from Mount Vernon High School in 2000. He is employed at Hutson, Inc. in Poseyville.

He took Monday off work as a community service day and did the rest before and after work and on weekends. Exhausted now that the fair is over, he’d like to go on vacation next month. Where to? Where else? The state fair of course!

Chris Woods plans to continue adding to his ideas for the Kids Zone and offering it next year. “This is wonderful,” said Frieda Haggard, who was sitting inside by a cool fan, watching kids at play. “This is just getting better and better every year.”

Chris thanked her and enjoyed hearing what he’d hoped to hear. Although he’s heard it a lot all week, it never gets old!
