Council hears tax abatment requests

By Lois Mittino Gray The Posey County Council meeting on July 10 primarily addressed an extension for the Consolidated Grain and Barge tax abatement and requests for additional budget appropriations from county personnel.

Garry Banter, CGA Regional Accounts Manager, spoke before council members requesting to push the 2016 tax abatement resolution timetable forward one year for the company’s soybean processing expansion phase. “It took longer than expected to get EPA permits and we were not able to complete the project by December 30, 2017 as planned. It was online by May 17 of this year and fully operational. This will only affect the timetable, not the figures,” he explained.

The council passed a resolution to

Poseyville Town Marshal addresses ordinance issues

By Dave Pearce Discussions on ordinances and how to effectively enforce them took most of the time during a relatively short meeting of the Poseyville Town Board on Wednesday evening at Poseyville Town Hall.

Poseyville Town Marshal Charles Carter addressed the

council on several ordinance issues. Carter indicated that he has been discussing a truck ordinance with John Havill of Bender Law Office, the town’s attorney. An ordinance could soon be in place to help keep big trucks off of tight spots in Psoeyville. Currently, the town goes by state ordinances regarding truck traffic.

Carter also indicated that he has been getting a lot of calls regarding the grass ordinance. Currently, the ordinance states that grass must be at least 18 inches tall before the landowner can be cited for an ordinance violation. Although no formal action was taken to change the ordinance during this meeting, town board members agreed

that by the time grass reaches 18 inches tall, it is out of control and unmanageable.

Carter indicated that there are a handful of habitual offenders in Poseyville and that he would like to see the grass cut down to a manageable level if residents who are cited are having to pay the city to cut the grass down to size.

“We’re going to have to do it right if we expect it to be maintained,” Carter told the board.

Carter also informed the board that he had recently attended a 911 advisory board meeting and the new digital radio system which is scheduled to go active in October

Passion into profession Draper hones costume skills with NHT

By Lois Mittino Gray What does professional draper Magdalena “Lani” Tortoriello and the nuns she dresses in New Harmony Theatre’s “Nunsense” production have in common?

They both have to wear black in their work.

Now in her third season as the draper for the New Harmony Theatre Summer Productions, Lani cuts out the patterns and sews together the costumes envisioned by longtime NHT costume designer Shan Jensen. She makes sure they are fitted properly for each person and makes any last minute changes and repairs during performances. This means she dresses all in black to inconspicuously stand right behind the curtain to swoop out and fix it fast. “Now, my own wardrobe is mostly all black clothes because that’s what I usually need to wear,” she explained. “It’s my mindset at work and I’m just used to it.”

Lani has two full-time stitchers who help her make costumes for NHT. “Nothing I’ve built has had a wardrobe malfunction so far, but I remember when an opera

New county bridge bids reviewed

By Lois Mittino Gray It’s Posey County Fair Time, and when you’re a county commissioner that’s important. With very little business on the agenda, the Posey County Commissioners set a record with a seventeen minute meeting on Tuesday, July 17 at the Hovey House. Commission President Jim Alsop joked that Commissioner Carl Schmitz had to get to the fair to see his grandson compete.

Opening the four bids for a new county bridge was the main order of business. Bridge Number 187 on Lang Road, between High School and Blake Roads, in the northern part of the county is next in line to replace. County Highway Superintendent Steve Schenk said it currently has a weight limit on it and is very narrow for farm Magdalena “Lani” Tortoriello has been sewing most her life and has machinery. “The new one will not have a weight limit and it will be parlayed that passion into a profession.

Branson duck boat a lesson in bad judgement

By Glenn Mollette I’ve thought about taking a duck boat ride and I’m glad I passed.

Thirty-one people including 29 passengers had boarded the duck boat ride vehicle for a joy ride on Table Rock Lake outside Branson Missouri last week. It became the last ride that 17 of the passengers would ever make.

Torrential weather turned the lake into a rollercoaster ride that became more than the duck boat could handle. Media clips have shown the stress the World War II type amphibious vehicle and people were under. The raging lake overtook them sending many of them to their watery graves.

We are ďŹ lled with horror, grief and have wailed about how such a tragedy happened? Where was the precaution? Where were the lifejackets? Why do these stupid boats have canopies on them? Mostly we

have asked in bewilderment, “Why were they out in that perilous storm?� Where was the sound mind of management?

Where were the instincts of the driver?

And, what about the commonsense of the people to have delayed their ride until better weather?

Tourist attractions every summer are under pressure to make as much as they can while they can. Kids go back to school in August and so do the family dollars. Management pushes employees to do all they can, as each day’s receipts are vital to the yearly budget. On the same token, tourists crowd places like Branson.

Vacationers are there usually a short time and crowd venues that oer rides and shows.

State agencies cannot be everywhere and monitor every activity but the Branson duck incident cries out for better surveillance and stricter rules at such places and

such providers of entertainment. No one in Missouri wants to step up and claim they were in charge of the oversight of this vehicle. The U.S. Coast Guard has said that it sets limited parameters on the vessel such as requiring a certiďŹ cate of inspection and authorizing routes but after that has little involvement with them. The National Highway TraďŹƒc Safety Administration regulates their travel on the road but hasn’t had much to say in regards to this latest disaster or banning them from the highways.

Hindsight is always better and I doubt if too many people will board duck boat rides the rest of this summer. Yet, over and again tourist type attractions have the ability to end in disaster. About twenty years ago the duck boat named the Miss Majestic Sunk to the bottom of a Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Ark., killing 13 people. In 2015 ďŹ ve students were killed in a duck boat collision with a bus in Seattle. There

have been two incidents in Philadelphia and one in Boston were 28-year-old Allison Warmuth was fatally run over by a duck boat in April 2016.

Vacationers have to make commonsense calls. Someone has to stop and ask, “Is this ride safe?� Or consider that, “Maybe the weather conditions are not conducive to duck riding, zip lining or parasailing over the ocean today. “Every day somewhere, someone will be hurt doing something trying to have fun. People will be killed driving cars and riding airplanes. This is one of the reasons we have laws and rules in regards to trains, planes and automobiles.

They can be very dangerous when not used with good judgment.

The duck boat ride in Branson was another tragic lesson in serious bad judgment.

Gratitude, Continued...

A T M B B R

About a year ago, I wrote a column about gratitude. Recently, I felt the need to revisit the topic. Bear with me; this isn’t a repeat, but an addition to the state of gratefulness we often think about.

Webster deďŹ nes gratitude as the state of being grateful. Yeah, that’s real helpful. So we dig deeper and ďŹ nd the deďŹ nition of grateful as being appreciative of beneďŹ ts received, or feeling or showing thanks. There, that’s better.

One of the language buzzwords – or buzz phrases – these days is to “be in an attitude of gratitude.â€? Which means exactly what?!? In simplest terms it means the state of openness to the love, joy and peace we experience when we turn our attention toward the reality of Being. Ahhhh‌ gratitude. Just by saying the word silently or aloud, you can feel your body, heart and whole being begin to open and relax.

(Thanks to wellbeingalignment.com for this deďŹ nition!)

With all that is going on in our busy lives we sometimes (often?) take too much for granted. We pay lip service to the obvious: housing, food, jobs, family. Do we ever delve a little deeper into why we are grateful and how that gratefulness aects us?

I’m grateful for parents who cared enough to tell me “noâ€? when it was necessary. Back it up another step and I’m grateful for parents, a luxury not aorded to some children.

I am grateful that I have a job, one that I love and that allows me to help others ďŹ nd solutions to the issues in their lives. I am grateful, once again, for my parents, who instilled in me the need for and love of education. To this

day, I try to learn something new every day. I love learning. And some things I’ve learned are sorta strange‌did you know that a hummingbird weighs less than a penny? Or that for every human on earth there are 1.6 million ants? Who knew?

I am grateful to live in a small community whose members are willing to go the extra mile to help those in need. I am grateful that this same community works hard to oer quality of life events: library programs, free movies and concerts, farmers markets, clubs and support groups, to name just a few.

I am grateful to live in a country that allows me the freedom to express my opinion without fear of retribution.

I love to dig in the dirt, so I am grateful to live in a (somewhat, usually) temperate climate, allowing us to enjoy four seasons (sometimes all in one week!) with the ability to grow owers and vegetables, if we so desire, or at the very least to enjoy the owers and vegetables grown by others.

I am grateful for my children. They are amazing, and not just because they are my children. They are truly good people. They both have a wicked sense of humor. While they probably did some things growing up that I didn’t approve of (what child is truly perfect?!), they were and are not vicious in what they do.

And my four gorgeous, laughing, healthy granddaughters: truly God’s gift to me, and to the world.

My four younger sisters – amazing blessings for whom I cannot express enough gratitude.

We ďŹ ve are more dierent that can be imagined, but we are all the same in the ďŹ erce love and protective instincts we share with and for each other.

I have a friend who keeps a gratitude journal, writing each and every day about those things for which she is grateful. I think we all need to be more mindful of that which is special in our lives, if not by writing it down at least by taking a few moments at some point during the day to be mindful of the good in each day.

And I am grateful for everything that has occurred in my life, the high points and the pits, all the decisions I’ve made, for they have brought me to today, to who I am, in this place,

in this time: a scared, middle-aged (plus!), single woman who is ďŹ nding that she likes – loves! – who she is. It has brought me new friends and maintained my old (as in lengthy!) friendships, and I rediscovered special friends from long ago who are more important to me than I could ever have imagined.

Take a little time today – and every day - to be grateful; you get to choose what that is.

Because there is truly something in every day for which to be grateful. And that’s all that matters.

Thank you very much.

The ultimate sin

B J J R

Joseph Campbell (1904-1987) was a professor of literature at Sarah Lawrence College in Yonkers, New York.

Campbell was America’s recognized guru in the area of myth and religion. He postulated that the ultimate/unpardonable sin was to be unaware.

When Peg and I visited the just opened Equal Justice Initiative’s Legacy Museum and Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama earlier this month then participated in the Dred Scott convocation in St. Louis, Missouri last week, I was constantly made aware of Campbell’s admonition. I thought back to when I lived in an apartheid society of which I was barely conscious.

When I saw the representations of lynchings and Jim Crow laws in Montgomery the stark reality of a separate and unequal daily life assaulted me. But when in St. Louis I listened to personal accounts of Black people who were on the unequal side of the equation, my own lack of alertness came into focus.

While you can anticipate the content of the displays at the EJI, when you walk through the hundreds of metal coffins inscribed with thousands of names of murdered Black people including several from Posey County, Indiana, you will naturally contemplate the evil we are capable of doing to one another just because someone may be an “other�. But when you hear directly from living persons who are still experiencing a denial of equal justice you are forced to confront your own previous lack of awareness.

The Dred Scott case was decided by the United States Supreme Court in 1857 and led directly to the Civil War four

years later. It is only one of many wrong decisions of the Supreme Court but is probably the worst. Chief Justice Roger Taney (1777-1864) who sat on the Supreme Court for almost thirty years authored the 7 to 2 opinion. It held that Negroes could not be citizens of the United States and had no rights that white men were legally bound to recognize, and that Dred Scott must remain a slave.

On Monday, July 16, 2018 at Logan University in St. Louis descendants of Dred Scott (c.1799-1858), Confederate President Jefferson Davis (1808-1889) and Roger Taney along with one hundred and fifty judges, attorneys and academic scholars were brought together by Judge Judith Draper and her husband Justice George Draper in conjunction with the National Judicial College to engage in “reconciliation�.

NJC President Benes Aldana, NJC technology specialist Joseph Sawyer, Michael Roosevelt education specialist for the State of California Courts and I as an NJC faculty member presented the afternoon sessions after the descendants and audience members held an interesting and extremely positive discussion during three hours in the morning.

The relatives of Taney and Davis did not attempt to excuse slavery. They did, however, clearly and poignantly point out their ancestors had done many good things along with their egregious errors in moral and legal judgments. As Peg and I listened to them I was reminded of Mark Antony’s funeral oration for Julius Caesar: “The evil that men do lives after them, The good is oft’ interred with their bones.�

William Shakespeare, Act III, sc ii.

What the EJI and Dred Scott experiences did for me was

force me to remember and dissect my experiences under the system of legal apartheid in my hometown of Pawhuska, Oklahoma. I had never given more than a passing thought as to why “Colored� boys could not enter the front door of the pool hall or come to the front part of the building. And now my home town is New Harmony, Indiana where, according to the book by William E. Wilson, On the Sunny Side of a One Way Street at page 91 he wrote that when he was a boy in New Harmony: “By the twentieth century New Harmony had lost the egalitarian faith on which it was founded a hundred years before, and Aunt Minnie’s Lizzie (Wilson’s Aunt’s Black servant) was the only Negro permitted to live in the town. She had a room in the hotel (owned by Wilson’s Aunt and Uncle) and never went out on the street, day or night. Uncle Harry and Aunt Minnie did everything possible to make Lizzie feel like one of the family, not only because she was an excellent cook but also because they loved her. Even so, I have often wondered since how Lizzie endured her ostracism in the town.�

And Wilson also writes of his father’s loss of his Congressional seat in 1925 because he refused to join the Ku Klux Klan.

Well, I am more “aware� now than I was before the visit to the EJI Museum and Memorial, the Dred Scott convocation and Mr. Wilson’s book, but realize there’s more I need to do while, I hope, there’s still time to do it.

I wish to sincerely thank the friendly and expert staff of our fine Alexandrian Public Library in Mt. Vernon, Indiana for providing me with several excellent reference works on Dred Scott and William E. Wilson’s interesting book on New Harmony.

Re-visiting Cynthiana stirs up emotions Mad-

B eleine, C P

you had a friend spending the night recently, so you could not accompany me and our good friend, Olivia Hall, to the annual rummage sales at Cynthiana. Although it turned out to be another hot and steamy day, there certainly was a lot of sales and customers. I don’t buy all that much anymore, but you never know what one might ďŹ nd.

I haven’t gone to as many sales this year as I usually do, but there are a few that I don’t like to miss. There are many reasons I try to attend the ones in Cynthiana. Beyond the obvious opportunity for shopping, driving around those old familiar streets brings back a lot of memories. Beyond seeing the current state of homes and other former businesses, I mentally envision how it used to be.

Some of it is sad, of course. I look at the houses, and see the former residents, and wish I could go back, if only for a quick visit. I know that I say this about the past quite often. The simplicity of those days does call to me, more with each passing year.

As I see myself aging, I feel like some of the rotting structures in my hometown.

Some parts of the town have been totally changed, with the older homes swept away, and new ones in their place. I recall the time when my friends were living in many of those old homes, and how they looked then.

The now crumbling Khron’s Gas Station

Cathy’s 1953 Chevy

One of the saddest sights I saw was the state of the old Krohn’s gas station. When I got my ďŹ rst car, that is the place I stopped to get gasoline on my way to school, or wherever I might be headed. Of course, this was in the days when the driver never needed to leave their car, because the gas was pumped for you by the owner or attendant. They checked the oil, washed the windshield, and engaged one in a little conversation.

However, I was a dumb girl, so I was embarrassed to ask for more oil, so I allowed the motor to burn up in my beloved 53 Chevy. Olivia remarked on the empty lot where the hardware store used to stand.

No matter what was needed, one could usually go in and ask Mr. Heiser for it.

There were a few familiar faces to see, still in Cynthiana, but all too many are gone. I heard bad health news about a couple of the old friends I knew. At my age, this is the kind of thing we hear about all too often.

Someone recently told me that I should stop hanging onto the past as much as I do.

However, I actually try to live in the present, and sincerely try to be hopeful of the future, whatever it brings.

Madeleine, at your tender age, you will not understand having melancholy thoughts of your childhood, until it is your turn to ďŹ nd yourself a Senior citizen. I think this is particularly true when the past seems like a better place.

I pointed out the houses to Olivia that used to be the homes of my friends. Most of them are gone from Cynthiana now, but I am glad to be able to stay in touch with them. I will get to see Roberta Moore Johnson at the upcoming reunion, but since she and her husband, J.C., live in Virginia, and it is only for a few precious hours that

we actually see each other every year. Jane Gee Williams lives in Mount Vernon, Ill., which is just far away enough to make visits an infrequent thing. Brenda Sweezer Patrick is in central Indiana, but health issues do not allow her to visit this part of the state. As I drove by their old houses, it was with a pang of sadness. There are others, of course, but I cannot write about all of them.

I have made a few attempts to spend time with some folks still in Posey County, but this does not seem to be important to them now. Others have told me this about their old friends, so it is truly a dierent world.

So, yes, Madeleine, the good old times of being blissfully young, laughing and having happy occasions, really do become only memories.

I was talking to a much younger person about my sadness that there isn’t more interest in attending the reunions, and wondering why. They said that maybe it was just that it only serves as a sad reminder of our quickly disappearing generation. All of these people are important to me, and I want more time with them before it is too late. We are the human beings who shaped a whole generation. Crumbling gas stations are sad, but not as much as losing the people of our youth.

“Entrances: The Bella Golden Story” will make its New Harmony premiere on Thursday, August 9, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. at the Workingman’s Institute.

“Entrances” is a film version of a one-woman, biographical play written and performed by Karen Nelson Moser. It is based on the diaries of the nineteenth century, New Harmony actress, Bella Golden, whose family archives reside at the Institute. The one-hour film also includes excerpts from various plays that she performed, anecdotes from her long life in the theater, and it is accompanied by a backdrop of archival photographs.

Bella Golden’s career spanned from prior to the Civil War to near the end of the nineteenth century.

She and her husband, actor/ manager Martin Golden, entertained the Federal troops during the War. They then worked at most of the major theaters of the day, including the John Elsler company in Cleveland, and Augustin Daly’s prestigious company in NYC; during this time, they performed with many

Bella Golden

stars, most notably Edwin and John Wilkes Booth.

Eventually, Bella and her husband began their own company that operated out of New Harmony, Indiana The Golden Troupe - which toured “the West” via train and coach for almost two decades.

The film’s author and performer, Karen Nelson Moser, is originally from Evansville. During her own long career, she has performed at various regional theaters, including many seasons at the Indiana Repertory Theater.

There will be a reception and Q&A session with the actress following the showing. Admission is free.

‘County Council’ continued from Page A1 amend the original resolution 20016-6-14-1 designating an economic revitalization area and qualified new manufacturing equipment for tax phase-in for CGB to end on May 17, 2018. The first year of the tax phase-in on new equipment gives 100 percent relief with increments going down to zero percent by the tenth year. Forreal estate, the tenth year allows 5 percent relief, with the eleventh year at zero percent.

Councilman Aaron Wilson asked what percentage of Posey County residents the company employs. Banter was not sure, but said it was an “easy number to get” and he will get back with him. He said that due to this expansion, there are two salary positions now available. “Hope you get them hired soon and that they

live in Posey County,” Council President Heather Allyn quipped.

Leading the parade of appropriation requests was Jonathan Parkhurst, Chief Deputy County Prosecutor, who requested to have $264.86 from the Prosecutor’s Infraction Deferral Fund put into the Narcotics Fund. He said that one offender was ordered to pay full restitution for Meth Lab clean up in his home and did so.

Liz Miller, representing the Circuit Court, appeared before the council with two appropriation requests signed

by Judge Jim Redwine. The first was for $50,000 in the Pauper Attorney account.

As of June 21, there is a balance of $17,169.66 in this account. The other request was for $20,000 to be put into the Guardian Ad Litem Attorney account. As of June 21, the account only has a balance of $221.86. “The lawyers bill when a case is being closed.

We never know from one month to the next if we will

get fifty bills to pay or ten,” Miller told the council.

Council members discussed possibly getting these fees reimbursed from the state.

Wilson said they learned they could do this at a workshop and that Posey County is one of the few counties that does not ask for recompense.

County Highway Superintendent Steve Schenk requested four appropriations to be approved. The first was for $100,000 to the Motor Vehicle Highway Fund in the Stone Account. “We’ve done a lot of chip and sealing and paving this year, and worked on gravel roads in the bottoms during flooding,” he reported.

“Great. We want to keep the county roads in as good a shape as we can,” commented President Allyn.

His next appropriation request was for $400,000 to the Motor Vehicle Highway Fund in the Contractual Services: Pavement Account. He requested the same amount be appropriated into the Contractual Services: Cumulative

BridgeAccount. “We’ve done a lot with bridges this year.

One is already completed, one will be finished next week, and one contract will be let on Tuesday,” he remarked.

Schenk’s fourth request was for $250,000 in the Contractual Services: Local Road and Street Account. All appropriations were approved.

“You have good balances here on record. You carried over almost $92,000 last year,” President Allyn noted.

Councilman Dave Pearce told Schenk that he’s received many compliments from his district on the amount of road work done this year. He inquired if the High School Bridge repair project has been delayed. “Some of the farmers who have to go around the other way are wondering,” Pearce said.

Schenk explained the situation is that the bridge does not have a true culvert. It is an aluminum box that requires thousands of bolts to assemble and that has taken almost two weeks. “Actually I’m giving the contractor doing this sixty days, but I think it will be finished in thirty,” he speculated.

County Extension Agent Hans Schmitz requested an appropriation of $1,215 into the County General Fund: Information Services Account.

The Extension Office had to renew its laptop and printer lease and came up short. He told the council that this will be addressed when making the upcoming budget to prevent its reoccurrence.

The last appropriation request was from County Auditor Sarah Beth Meighen for $160 into the County General Fund: Office Supplies Account. She told the council that Dave Sharber, County Veterans Service Officer, is in need of a signature pad to allow veteran clients to sign electronic forms. It was approved and Heather Allyn remarked, “We appreciate all he does in his office.”

I went to a town hall meeting ... and God showed up! (Part 1)

Earlier this year, I attended a town hall meeting in Poseyville, a few miles down the road from the church I help pastor in Cynthiana. I had never been to one of these meetings, but on this particular Saturday morning, I had a little time on my hands, so I decided to check it out. The room was mostly full when I took a chair in the back of the room. Now many of these meetings unfortunately have been riotious affairs in the past, yet this one was nothing but civil.

Members of both political parties were present to take our questions, all members of the Indiana House of Representatives except one, who was a state senator. The questions were varied and intelligent, and the responses were candid and thoughtful.

Not long after I arrived, I began to get a little nudge from the Holy Spirit that I should ask an unusual question. I resisted this for awhile, but then just realized that this must be important, so I raised my hand. My question ended up being the last one of the morning,

B W N J .

Mount Vernon River Days 2018 is just around the corner - September 7-9, 2018. River Days is a fun, family friendly event with free admission.

Opening ceremony is at 11 a.m. on Friday with hours 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday.

Be sure to check the website at mt-

about five minutes before the two-hour meeting was supposed to end. My question was this...”I am a pastor of a local church who believes in prayer. We meet each Tuesday night to pray for our church, our communities, and our nation. I’d like to know...what we can be praying for each of you personally?” I also asked them what particular needs in our state that they would like for us to be praying about.

When I sat down, to my great surprise, the room erupted in applause! The responses from the legislators were amazing: 1. One legislator asked for prayer for safe travel on her frequent trips between Evansville and Indianapolis…a three-hour trip. Also…

“Please pray for my kids!”

2. Another legislator asked for us to please pray for her staff, and the staff of all the legislators at the capitol. These people are the ones who do the lion’s share of the work at the state level. They are the ones who answer all the irate calls from constituents, and yet they remain largely anonymous to the public.

3. Another representative asked for prayer that God would change hearts and minds. He also asked for prayer for his personal health.

This devoted public servant, who has a full time job besides his extensive legislative work, has been constantly sick with colds the last few weeks, and hasn’t had any down to get over them.

4. The lone Democrat on the panel asked that we would pray for more human moments in the legislator. He mentioned that he is good friends with a Republican legislator who was also on the panel (the one who asked #3 above), and they ask about each other’s kids and family and that they really care about each other. He wants us to pray for more of that. Also…”Please pray for my wife. She’s sixteen weeks pregnant with our first child.

5. The state senator on the panel, who is a friend of mine and a committed Christian, used the time to talk about how much we need God in the public square. He also said, ”Please pray for just the weight of the problems we have to deal with.” He said he wakes up sometimes at 3 am just with a heavy weight of concern on him of all the problems that we are facing as a state and as a society.

Who knew?

Every one of them thanked me sincerely

for the question. There was almost a sense of amazement that anyone would ask this question. One of the panelists said, “We don’t get asked about us.” In talking to the legislators after the meeting, I was again thanked for the question and was told, “We never hear this!

People always come to us just because they need something.”

I had several audience members tell me things like “That was the best question of the day” and “That was supposed to be the last question.” I know it was. There was no way I could have engineered it.

Only God… In my next column, I’d like to share some conclusions that I came to related to this wonderful experience. There is one that I’d like to share with you today…

Politicians are just people. Whether on local, state, or national level, they get colds, have issues with travel, get stressed out, and have worries about their families…just like any of us. They don’t need criticism so much as they need prayer!

Sermon of the Week: Good versus evil ... light versus dark Pastor Rick Sellers Light vs. Dark Is the Word of God offensive? To some it is. What a great way to begin, right? What we should know is that God has an ongoing desire to provide for you the way out of the confusion but that in itself can be challenging. If this sounds familiar to you, I want you to know that there is hope!

The Bible is God’s chosen avenue through which He speaks to His children.

Good vs. Bad Many movie goers and novel readers look for the theme of good vs. bad. It is the basic plot that grabs your attention early on and builds as the story grows until finally everyone has become so engrossed in the “battle” that they have now chosen a side. In the Star Wars series the Dark Side draws you into the part of man that struggles to win over or destroy the rest.

What we see in the realm of good vs. evil in such movies is actually being played out in the hearts of man. This becomes clear when we see the early in the book of Genesis. God was present in the Garden at the beginning of time communicating with Adam and Eve. Following the creation of things, including mankind, the enemy of God, known to most as Satan, begins to deceive man in the garden. As God always does, He went “looking” for man in hopes of restoring him.

The enemy, like in the Star Wars series, is slowly, yet consistently worming his way into the hearts of man alluring through deception. When this happens, God can always be found with His hands reaching out to rescue man from the enemy. Often it is very difficult to see because the enemy wants to keep the eyes of man darkened or clouded at best.

Jesus reminds us in John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

When we remain in the “light” the enemy struggles to bring on the deception, but that does not stop him. When man begins the decent into darkness the light remains but slowly grow dim. In time the light will become offensive because man has grown accustomed to the darkness that the light feels painful to the spiritual eyes.

I Peter 2:6-8 reminds us, 6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”

7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,” 8 and “A stone of stumbling And a rock of offense.”

They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.

The Word of God is only offensive to those who have become acclimated with the deception of the enemy. The Word of God is always doing to work of God desiring to

draw all men back to Him since He provides the revealing light of all the is perfect.

If you find it difficult to understand what God is saying, don’t give up. Don’t feel like you have to be an expert in literature. The Word of God will guide you through the obstacle course of life leading you to all that is good and right.

Also, don’t take the journey to the “Light Side” alone. All throughout the Bible are reminders that God created us to be in relationship with Him and with each other. If you are looking for the Truth, you can find it. Reach out to a Bible believing friend who will help you through the darkness and help guide you through the light.

New Harmony welcomes new fine art gallery

By Lois Mittino Gray Calling it a “dream come true,” Fine Arts Gallery owner Dan Mason asked two former USI mentor professors to cut the ribbon during the opening ceremony for the new gallery located at 510 Main Street in New Harmony, next to the New Harmony Soap Company. Art professor Katie Waters and English professor Matthew Graham did the cutting honors. The grand opening for the Mason-Nordgauer Fine Arts Gallery took place Saturday afternoon with welcoming speeches, wine and cheese, music, and an evening dinner at MaryScotts Kitchen.

Dan Mason and John Nordgauer co-own the eponymous business which they launched to bring a Post War/Contemporary and Urbanfocused gallery to New Harmony.

“We love the arts and culture here and often visited town from Louisville. I wanted to open a gallery and I just knew it would be here,” Mason said.

The pair purchased the “Big Blue Victorian” house on Main Street, just a short walk from the shop, and are “presently in the process of moving in from Louisville,” said John. He will give up his LPN job at Jewish Hospital for the transition.

Dan will continue his work in financial services and dealing in Fine Art sales here. Dan did his under-

Briefly Edward Jones branch supports school supplies donation Drew Heckert, an Edward Jones financial advisor in Mount Vernon, is supporting a School Supplies Donation Campaign by using his office as a drop-off location for a school supplies drive. Local residents may help support this effort by bringing in items to the Edward Jones branch office during regular business hours from July 5, 2018 to August 10, 2018. The branch address is: 431 East Fourth Street, Mount Vernon, IN 47620. “As our world becomes more global, competition within our younger generations continues to rise, emphasizing the importance of a quality education,” said Heckert. “We’re proud to support the academic development of young minds in this community through this school supply donation program.”

striped logo emblazoned on it.

Their business motto, “Inspire.

Admire. Collect.” reflects the easygoing nature of the gallery as it invites everyone to come inside and look around and perhaps, purchase something. Mason designed the logo himself.

Also wearing the logo tee shirt was Chelsie Walker, the fulltime Gallery Director, who hails from Fairfield, Ill. She received the job two days after graduating from the University of Evansville in May, majoring in Art and History. “This is exactly what I wanted to do and now I can’t wait to get it started,” she said. Chelsie is engaged to be married and will soon be settling down in the area.

The eclectic mix of artists whose work is on display is stunning.

Their background can be scanned on your phone using the barcode on the wall.

Rugman (a.k.a Anthony McEwan) got his start doing street art in East London. His pop art images of David Bowie, John Lennon, and Queen Elizabeth in eye-popping colors adorn the gallery’s south wall. His graphics work has been worn on T-shirts by music group Blink 182 and others around the world.

New Harmony local artist Mary Ann Michna works in paints and mixed media inspired by road trips and life experiences. She does

landscapes, including cows and cars, and even Fritsch’s Big Boy. Chimel Ford, a high functioning autistic artist from Louisville, fills a wall with colorful art of fun objects, such as Grippos, Maker’s Mark, Ski and Ale 8 and people, like Frank Sinatra.

Johnpaul Smith does intricate, tapestry-like constructions made by cutting the materials into strips of various sizes and painstakingly overlapping them into the artwork.

He is inspired by complex relationships of systems and patterns that repeat in the artwork.

The two featured ceramic artists are Tony Treadway of New Harmony and Todd Matteson, from Washington, Ind. Both are inspired

by Native American designs and culture.

After settling in, the owners hope to offer classes and internships to students. They have joined the New Harmony Business Associates and plan to participate in festival events.

Business hours of operation are: closed on Monday, Tuesday through Thursday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday hours are noon to 5 p.m.

The gallery can be found at Mnfinearts.com or check out their Facebook page. To call directly, 812-682-6127. We welcome this new business to town!

He indicated it will cost $2000 to upgrade so the new system can be used. Carter said the news came as a shock to several area groups who will be moving to the digital system in October.

Cater also indicated he would like to have some public health education on the town’s pool ordinance. He indicated that under the current ordinances, police are powerless if a pool owner decides they do not want to open the pool and keep it clean and usable.

Carter did indicate that Indiana State Code has some ordinances from the 1980s whose language could be adopted to help clean up a couple of problems in the town.

He indicated that the pools can be a breeding ground for mosquitos if not properly cleaned and maintained.

On a more positive note, Town Board President Bruce Baker announced that storm

sewers are fully installed in the area across from the Dollar General Store. He indicated that he expects that the new school parking lot at the corner of Church and Fletchall streets will be striped for parking in the coming few days. Baker said the town will put gravel in the alleyways and that funding for a program to pave the alleys expires this year. The town will be responsible for paving any alleyways next year.

Board member Ron Fallowfield asked that the public be reminded that the Poseyville Community Center is available in the event of a power failure during severe heat as was recently experienced. Residents are invited to stop in and cool down during such an event.

The Poseyville Town Board will meet again on Wednesday, August 8, 2018 at the Poseyville Town Hall beginning at 4:30 p.m.

and switched around established funds. Gone are names like General Fund, Bus Replacement Fund, and Capital Projects Fund. The four funds that are used now are Education, Operations, Rainy Day and Debt Service Funds.

“This is all brand new for everyone and a lot of flexibility has been built into the system. One of my jobs is to keep it as similar as possible for us and make it as simple as possible this first year. We’ll try it out and shake out problems and see what needs to be changed next year,” he commented.

“It’s best for us to move cautiously,” agreed Board President Kathy Weinzapfel.

“This is a learning process for all of us.”

The Education Fund derives no money from property taxes; it is all paid from the state per pupil. Evans estimates an enrollment next year of 2,033 students, projecting $14,357,024 in income. Actual income will depend on the amount of students present on ADM Count Day on September 14, 2018.

It is estimated that the district will receive $6,145 per student counted on that day. School Superintendent Tom Kopatich said that if a student were to enroll the next day and stay all year, they would get no money for the student at all.

TAKE A LOOK, WE’RE JUST MINUTES AWAY!

‘Such an adventure’ Life’s dips, peaks keep things interesting for local 80-year-old

By Pam Robinson Long-time Mount Vernon resident Nancy Case has learned to persevere and to remain positive on her life’s journey. The 80-year-old may have inherited her spunky spirit from her parents, Walter and Mary Hasty, native Hoosiers.

“My parents weren’t necessarily nomads, but they were adventuresome,” Case states. “They hitchhiked to Chicago with $2 in their pocket to get married.”

Case relates the young couple’s continued adventures. They lived in Chicago for a time before they came back to Newcastle, Ind., where her dad worked for a foundry. Once a job opportunity presented itself in Flint, Mich., the couple moved there.

Case was born there, but the family stayed less than a year after her birth before going back to Newcastle. In 1942, the family went West in a big move to Glendale, Calif.

Case’s dad worked as a draftsman on the newly-acquired Walt Disney property. She recalls he would use his lunch hour to watch Disney making early films. Unfortunately, when World War II ended, the company that her dad had depended on for work closed.

“So my mother and dad sold their house furnished. And their car. Everything. And we flew back to Indiana. This was 1948,” Case recollects.

While her parents lived in Indianapolis close to her dad’s new job, Case started her own adventure. Since her dad found work after the school year had begun, Case stayed with her maternal grandparents on their farm in Attica, Ind. “For the first time, I rode a big yellow school bus,” she recalls.

“I was in third-grade. My teacher was Mrs. Lyons. . . [My parents] came to Attica on the weekends or for school productions.

At the end of the school year in 1949, I moved to Indianapolis with them and stayed in Indianapolis. I graduated from Arsenal Tech High School.”

Soon after she graduated with the Class of 1956, Case married her high school sweetheart, David McCalment, from a different Indianapolis high school, Ben Davis. The couple had met through their music, studying with the Indianapolis Conservatory of Music.

By 1963, Case’s parents were living again in California. The McCalments decided to join them.

“We had four children, ages 6, 4, 3, and 1. In 1963, we sold at auction everything we owned, bought a two-wheeled trailer, and hooked it on the back of an Oldsmobile station wagon. David had no job. He had quit his job at Peerless Pump. We camped in a tent all across the U.S. with four children 6 and under,” she says.

“We lived in California until 1968. Bought a house. My husband got a job the first week we arrived at Westinghouse. But he ran into, on a business trip, an old friend who happened to be an

The Golden Years historic district.

In 1998, Case officially retired. She’s blessed now not only with her three daughters, all living in Mount Vernon, and her son in California, but also with nine grandchildren and five greatgrandchildren. Everyone is anticipating the arrival of the sixth great-grandchild in December. Mount Vernon residents may know her daughters: Tina McCalment, Julie Pfister, and Christine Johnson. Her son, Michael McCalment, lives with his wife in California.

In her new life of retirement, Case has set out on additional adventure, always with a hand outstretched to help others. Two opportunities for service have brought her deep satisfaction. She helped to found Bridges of Hope, the fair-trade store at Mount Vernon’s First United Methodist Church, Case’s home church for over 40 years. Once she turned the keys over to another church member this April, she started volunteering as a child advocate in the court systems through Evansville’s CASA organization.

“I loved the fair-trade idea,” she comments regarding Bridges of Hope. “It’s just a win-win-win situation for the church. You’re helping the artisans from countries that really don’t have access to markets. You’re providing wonderful, unique items to people in the community they won’t find other places. Ten percent out of every sale we make goes into the Bridges of Hope Mission Fund. The rest of it just goes back in to buy more products. None of the money goes to pay the pastor or to pay the light bills. It’s wonderful because we are under the umbrella of the church, so we have no rent, no utility bills, no insurance. It’s just so positive in every way. That Mission Fund builds, and that’s what sends our mission teams out to do mission work. So it’s just an overall win-win-win. Bridges of Hope is averaging $30,000 a year in income now.”

As for CASA, Case signed on for the prerequisite training after noticing the CASA table next to the Bridges of Hope table during an arts and crafts fair in Newburgh. “It was not a coincidence, I don’t think,” she states. She’d always said she would retire from Bridges of Hope when she was 80, and last fall she was in the midst of helping her successor to transition into her position with the store. CASA allows her to help children again.

Despite the challenges she’s faced, Case still pauses and reflects, “Isn’t life wonderful? Such an adventure!”

Such hope and joy spring from an eternal Source. Nancy Case has discovered where to travel for strength and reassurance. In taking us along for her ride, she’s brought us bread for our own journey.

We sold the house in California, and B & W moved us. We didn’t have to sell everything. B & W moved all of our furniture and paid for all of us to move — four kids and now a dog.”

Case has been in Mount Vernon ever since. Her husband, David McCalment, tragically died in October 1980.

She remembers how he encouraged her to enroll in classes at the junior college while the couple lived in California. At the time, California provided free tuition at its junior colleges. Upon settling in Mount Vernon, Case was able to complete her teaching degree at the University of Evansville. She taught elementary and middle school students in the MSD of Mount Vernon for 25 years. She especially appreciates the support of former Superintendent of Schools John Emhuff during that time.

In 1982, she remarried to Ermal Pfister Jr. of Mount Vernon.

He died abruptly a few months before his retirement from the Farm Bureau Refinery. They had been married one month short of four years.”

On July 1, 1989, she married John Case, and they celebrated their 29 years of marriage this month. They have enjoyed their life together in the big blue house in Mount Vernon’s downtown

Vikings football team plays at scrimmage

By Chris Morlan The North Posey football team traveled to Evansville North last Thursday night for a scrimmage.

North Posey played against Vincennes Lincoln, Boonville and the host, Evansville North. Forty football players dressed out for the Vikings.

The weather was really nice in the middle of July for an evening of football. North Posey fans showed to get an early glimpse of this seasons Vikings football team.

This will be Viking Head Coach Waylon Schenk’s second season at the helm.

The Vikings varsity team started off the night against Evansville North. The scrimmages consisted of 15 minute increments where the score was not kept. The Vikings played one fifteen-minute session on offense and the other fifteenminutes on defense.

When the Viking defensive players were on the field against a fast North Husky offense, North Posey’s defensive line was quick and forced the North running backs for a loss of yards on a couple of plays. The Vikings linebackers played well on a few plays too.

Then, North’s running game and passing attack stepped it up and they had a few nice runs and passes with the ball to show their improvement from previous seasons.

North Posey’s junior varsity offense played a ten-minute quarter on offense and the other ten-minutes on defense against the Huskies and moved the ball very well down the field.

The Vikings varsity team then

Tecumseh’s Ian Seim found himself in hostile territory as a swarming Viking defense surrounded him during action in last year’s 42-7 victory over the Braves. Photo by Dave Pearce faced the Vincennes Lincoln Alices for two more fifteen-minute quarters each on offense and defense. North Posey moved the ball well on offense against Vincennes Lincoln. Quarterback Jarrett Motz ran for a touchdown on a quarter-

back sneak against the Alices.

North Posey’s junior varsity team again played two more tenminute quarters each on offense and defense, this time against Vincennes Lincoln to finish the evening.

There are a lot of new faces starting this season for the Vikings, but never underestimate Coach Schenk and his knowledge of the game. He will have this team ready to play every Friday night.

North Posey’s first official practice is on Monday, July 30 and the Vikings have another scrimmage at Boonville on Friday, August 10 at 7 p.m. The regular season begins on Friday, August 17 at South Spencer with a 7 p.m. kickoff.

A vision come to fruition Local eagle scout’s project pays homage to days growing up at county fair

By Lois Mittino Gray While thinking about what to do for his Eagle Scout Project, Curtis Pate went back in time to his memory of playing in an old sandbox while waiting for his family at the Posey County Fairgrounds. “Before I started in 4-H, I remember there was only a sandbox there to play in as a kid and that was not enough to keep me busy, so I didn’t always stay where I was supposed to be!” he reminisced.

Curtis decided to build a playground at the site so younger children will have a place to have fun, while their parents and siblings watched livestock shows and other events.

He started the project last November and December and finished it up by mid-January. His fellow New Harmony Troop 386 members, under the leadership of Tim and Todd Wiley, helped with the work, as did other friends and members of the Posey County Fair Board.

The playground features two swing sets, one slide, and one climbing tower with a small sand box and picnic table nearby. The swings can be used by adults and there is a two- seater swing to use with toddlers. Wooden mulch lies on the ground to soften falls and the entire area is surrounded by a wooden fence to ensure children’s safety.

Curtis’ playground was one of two projects that received the first “Pay It Forward” grant awards given by the Mount Vernon River Days Committee to a deserving group. He said the $500 grant provided the majority of funds necessary to complete the project. Other donations were received from TMI, United Fidelity Bank, and family and friends. The Fair Board helped in many ways, even delivering the load of sand for the box.

Curtis will be a senior next year at Mount Vernon High School. He lives on a cattle farm on Greathouse Road with his parents, John and Dana, and his two brothers, Collin and Cody. He is spending his summer working at Juncker’s detailing tractors and doing lawn care.

Curtis Pate Curtis values his scouting experiences and loved the trips his troop took diving in the Bahamas and to Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. He started scouts as a Tiger cub in Mount Vernon and switched to the New Harmony troop as a Tenderfoot. He passed the Eagle Review Board in March to earn his honor and is planning his ceremony for the near future.

The new Eagle Scout took his cousins to the playground to test it out. “It makes me happy to see my vision accomplished and to see it used by the right persons,” he said.

Mary Hoehn Rhoades, a member of the Pay It Forward Committee, went out to see the new playground this past weekend and thought it looked fantastic. “I am honored to be on this committee and so proud of the accomplishments of our two recipients. I’m so excited to see what great things are to come in the future.”

The other $500 award was given to Tammy Schneider’s Junior High FCCLA club for community projects, such as their Buckle Up

for Safety program.

This year the money doubles and $2,000 will be awarded to applicants. Monies may be divided among several groups, depending on need. The committee sold Kraut Balls at River Days last year to raise the extra thousand dollars.

Rhoades said applicants must be an organization located in Posey County and be a nonprofit group. Applications are due by August 17 at noon. After the committee meets to

discuss each applicant, the winning recipients will be announced at the River Days Festival.

Applications are available online at www. mtvernonriverdays.com and must be sent to award@mtvernonriverdays.com. Applications may be snail mailed to: River Days, PO Box 255, Mount Vernon, IN 47620. If you have any questions, call Mary at (812) 499-3297 or email the award address listed above.

Curtis helped others and made his goal a reality. Are you next? Apply now!.
