Volume 141 Edition 30

‘Fair like the old days’ describes Posey’s annual event By Lois Mittino Gray Jake McGennis, Posey County Fair Board President, called it “the best fair ever in 30 years. The whole week was amazing!” Throngs piled through the gates each day to attend events starting on Monday, July 19 and finishing up with the Demolition Derby on Saturday night, July 24. Although it is too early to report total income this year, McGennis said the fair took in $1800 in paid gate admissions on just the first night. “It’s hard to get an actual count in attendance from that figure because it also includes the sale of season passes for $25 for the whole week, and 4-H students and children under 10 in attendance do not have to pay any gate fees,” he pointed out. “The rodeo on Monday night really drew people here. I saw many new faces this week and talked to folks who said it was their first time at the fair.” A ‘full-fare-fair’ Rodeo Show, held Monday evening, was brought back to the Posey County Fair after a twenty year hiatus by Loehr Productions. “We could not have been any prouder of how our community turned out in droves. Their support was overwhelming,” said Jennifer Loehr, Chairman of the Rodeo

Show. She observed that the bleachers and whole arena were packed full and estimates that 1500 to 2000 people attended the show, with events such as Bull Riding, Bronco Riding, Barrel Racing, and Calf Roping for men, women, and children. Nine buckles and entry money refunds were awarded to winners. Rodeo professionals who travel with Loehr Productions were aware that the Loehr family, who reside locally in Point Township, were bringing the rodeo back to their hometown fair after so many years. “Our announcer is from Murray, Kentucky and our rodeo clown was here from Texas. They were in awe of the outstanding community support,” she noted. “At one point, the announcer turned down our taped recording of the national anthem, because people in the bleachers next to his booth were singing along so loudly to it. The cowboys in the pens could hear them and were lovin’ it!” She said that brought tears to her eyes, as it was so cool and her family and friends were all part of it. Loehr and her family are already on the road again to put on another rodeo pro-

Fate of dog who injured youngster to be decided by appellate court By Lois Mitino Gray The fate of Jager, the boxer dog featured in many signs around the city, was addressed to the Mount Vernon Common Council at its July 14, meeting by two residents. About 15 other Jager supporters stood outside the Hovey House with placards and signs during the meeting chanting the motto, “No Bite, No Kill, Free Jager.” Rodney Phillips approached the podium first and introduced himself to councilors. He said he is a lifelong Mount Vernon resident who is a former Mount Vernon Police Officer and retired recently from SABIC. “I have asked to speak on behalf of someone who has no voice, a loving family pet named Jager. But first, I would like to apologize to May Robinson. The other day I asked May to relive the reason we are here tonight, so that I knew the truth. Being a grandfather myself, I

still can’t imagine anything worse than what she endured the night of the accident and is forced to relive almost daily,” he began. He then told May’s account of the incident that led to this furor and stated he has read every page of the transcripts on the event and has seen the pictures. “The truth is May and her granddaughter Kinley were sorting through groceries in the kitchen and gathered up what would be stored in the freezer in a separate room. It is called the Dog Room, a catch-all where the family pups eat and sleep in their safe zone. Kinley followed along and accidentally dropped her toy. As she picked it up, she stepped on and startled a sleeping Jager. The surprised Jager reacted by jumping up and accidentally scratched the 4-year-old girl across the side of the face.

By Trisha L. Lopez Issues with Posey County’s emergency service radios can’t be narrowed down to a single source for an easy fix. The problem? No one knows what the problem actually is. County officials have been asking for answers for months, but radio experts working on the system say they have to actually find the problem before they can fix it. Dan Shepherd, owner of VEI Communications, the Vincennes-based company that sold county officials the digital Kenwood system in 2017, said he’s worked with Jason Knowles, 911 director, on a variety of issues. The ins and outs of radio signals are complicated. In order to fix a signal issue, Shepherd has to duplicate the situation in which the signal failure occurred. “There’s not something that you just go ‘it’s broke.’ There are so many moving parts

in that it’s just unbelievable,” Shepherd said. “I can’t prove what’s wrong. Ourselves and people from the county, when issues have arisen, we’ve gone out to the exact same spot and we cannot duplicate the problem. That’s what makes it difficult. The other part is it’s been a year-and-a-half (since the system became operational) and they just came to us and said they had issues.” Knowles said the problems have been around for a while, but they wanted to be sure that the issues weren’t just part of getting to know the new system. “We understood there were several differences between a digital trunking radio system and the analog radio system we replaced. We were growing accustomed to the new system and learning the limits of it, as there are with

Meeting new challenges

First-time principal has no shortage of life experience...

Christan Shockley

(USPS 439-500)

By Lois Mittino Gray There is a new principal at Saint Matthew School and she has been on the job since July 1 preparing for a special start to a new school year. “I’m really looking forward to the first day. I’ll be out there in front, bright and early, to meet and greet all the returning students,” Christan Shockley said with excitement in her voice. “In fact, I’ll be out there every morning to meet them.” Last weekend, Christan attended both masses at Saint Matthew Catholic Church in Mount Vernon to introduce herself to parishioners and to meet some of her new students. She is no stranger to Catholic schools, as she grew up in Saint Phillips and attended the parochial grade school there. She went on to become a Wildcat at Mater Dei High School as a member of the Class of 1993. She knows how to write ‘JMJ’ at the top of her homework paper! Christan did her undergraduate studies at Indiana State University and received her Special Education degree in 1997. She pursued a Master’s De-

gree in School Counseling from Western Kentucky University and finished it up in 2003. “I think my background in Special Education and Counseling will be a real asset for me in leading Saint Matthew School. It is such a strong school already and I want to make it be the strongest school it can be.” Christan may be a tyro as a first-time principal, but her 18 years in education with classroom background gives her much experience in many areas. The first seven years were spent in public schools teaching Special Education. The remaining years were spent in Parochial schools, with assignments a mixture of Special Education and School Counseling. She spent five years at Saint John the Baptist School in Newburgh and then moved over to Holy Redeemer in Evansville. During that time, she worked hard to earn her Administrator’s license and completed those requirements in 2020, receiving it from Marian University. Christan met her goal while working fulltime and raising a family of five daughters that range in age

from seven to 17. “There’s always something going on with lots of action around the house. There are lots of clothes, lots of drama, but I love it all,” she reflected. She does enjoy the 30-minute respite of quiet when commuting to Mount Vernon from Northern Evansville. The family likes to go camping and hiking together, especially in nearby Indiana State Parks. She has a special place in her heart for her role model and patron saint, Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. She is the founder of the first Catholic schools in the United States. “She had five children, too” she noted. Saint Matthew School has about 75 students in Grades K-5. After Grade 5, most students enter the Mount Vernon public school system or go to Saint Phillips School. Many will move on to Mater Dei for high school. There is also a pre-K children’s center associated with the school and Christan will work together with their administrators on it.

Jennings is guilty of felony charges Special to the News After deliberating more than seven (7) hours, a Posey County jury returned a verdict of guilty in the case against Quinton Lee Jennings of Evansville. Just after midnight on July 21, following a six-day jury trial in the Posey Circuit Court, Jennings was found guilty of ten (10) separate counts, including kidnapping, criminal confinement, aggravated battery, domestic battery, battery by means of a deadly weapon, battery resulting in serious bodily injury as well as the habitual offender enhancement. Court records show that the case against Jennings, age 32, stems from a multiagency investigation related to the kidnapping, criminal confinement and battery of a Newburgh woman in June of 2019. Jennings was found guilty of kidnapping and confining the victim against her will over the course of three (3) days in an incident that spanned across multiple counties, including Warrick, Vanderburgh, Posey and Franklin County, Illinois. Jennings was also convicted of inflicting serious injuries to the victim during the course of the kidnapping and confinement. Evidence was presented at trial that Jennings used a crowbar

Quinton Lee Jennings to beat and stab the victim multiple times. The victim suffered facial fractures, a broken arm, as well as multiple lacerations that caused extreme blood loss. Evidence was also presented that the victim’s three (3) year old daughter was present when the crimes occurred. After the verdict was read in open court, Jennings threatened the court and jury with violence. As a result of his outburst, Jennings was found in contempt of court and ordered to serve additional time in jail. Warrick County’s Chief Deputy Prosecutor Jennifer Greer and Deputy Prosecutor Samantha Hurst presented the State’s case at trial. Jennings will be sentenced by Posey Circuit Court Craig Goedde. The sentencing hearing has not yet been scheduled.

‘City Council’ continued from Page A1 Unfortunately, with the pandemic and inability to get into most vets, Jager’s nails were unusually long and Kinley received some pretty extensive cuts. The next hour was any parent or grandparents worst nightmare,” he recounted. According to police reports, the grandmother told police it was a dog bite that created the facial lacerations. Phillips continued by stating he does not see how they have gotten to this point with Jager. A judge made the ruling that Jager bit the little girl and must be euthanized, as law requires, after a bite. “The emergency room doctor said the injuries were scratches, not bites,” Phillips contends. At the time of the meeting, Jager was not euthanized and has been kept in solitary by the city’s Animal Control Officer for months. The dog was not immunized at the time of the injury. “We have all had time to take a deep breath and reflect. Everyone involved, including the city, has had time to contemplate on its own actions and what has transpired since. Doctors and vets agree there was no bite and I truly believe that Jager was not at fault and does not deserve to be euthanized for his actions. It is time for him to be released. His family has offered to have him placed in a different home in order for him to remain alive, which is all the proof I need about how much they love him. I just know that, not long ago, I had a chance to talk to a little ray of sunshine named Kinley and she told me she wants her puppy dog back. How could this happen? They played together, they slept together, they love each

other. Jager protects her and watches over her. Mr. Mayor and Council Members, this was an accident that could have happened to any of us. I, like many here, believe that it is time to let Jager go home to the little girl and the family that loves Him. Drive around town and see all the signs of support for this dog,” he urged. He directly addressed Councilman Rusty Levings. “When you were running for Council, we had a talk on my porch, and you said you wanted to be a voice for Mount Vernon and make a difference. Have you taken a drive in Lawrence Addition and seen all the signs in that area?” heasked. Councilman Levings replied, yes. Phillips stated that in Mayor Curtis’ biography on the city webpage he indicates he willmaintain an open mind. “Then sit down with an open mind to this and come up with a solution that is fair to both sides. Listen to the voices of the people. We

will not stop fighting until all is done.” He asked that they make a decision locally here in Mount Vernon, not a three judge panel in Indianapolis, where the issue has been sent. He then thanked Council for their time. In other board discussion: --Councilwoman Jillian Brothers asked if there has been any interest in the land where the Tresslar Building stood before it was demolished by the city a few months ago. Mayor Curtis replied that no one has inquired and assured her it was still available for sale. She wondered if there is a timeline to wait and see what happens or can they do something there in the meantime. She suggested a garden area, a welcome sign, or something, so it doesn’t look so empty on such a prominent corner. Curtis replied there is nothing to prohibit that, just nothing real substantial. He remarked a flower bed would need to be kept up and the local Garden Club does

not want to undertake the responsibility. He suggested she get any ideas started with the Mount Vernon Board of Works. --At the meeting of the Water Utility Board held before Council, Attorney Higgins stated awhile back they approved changes to requests for water out of the city limits. --Baldwin asked Gray if resident’s bills are caught up from the moratorium. Gray replied, yes. Board member Baldwin asked what the protocol is for emergency repairs that the water department can’t do itself. “If it is an emergency, we call local contractors, if not an emergency, then we get quotes,” he said. Baldwin asked if he has a local list that he calls on first and if he gets an estimate on emergency calls first. “No, if it is an emergency, it needs to be fixed.” Baldwin stated she just wants to be sure that he is utilizing different companies in the city.

Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Take nothing for granted

M a d eleine, I can’t believe school will be starting in a few weeks. Every year, I make mention of the fact it is SO wrong to make this date way too early. It should have remained the week after Labor Day. It was the accepted time for decades. Shortening everyone’s summer is terrible. Someone should start a petition, or something, to change this back. I am also in shock that you kids will be this far along in your schooling. How can you be a sophomore already??? Even though I still have health issues, I am very thankful to be so much better in many ways. Sean and I will have gone back to Vanderbilt by the time this column is published and I expect my surgeon to check me out and be pleased with my recovery. Every time I write this, I add some type of comment about television shows, because I B C P

have spent a gazillion hours watching and doing very little else. By the day, I feel more and more like getting back to normal. My television comment for this week concerns the old show “Monk,” which has been in syndication for a long time. I have been rewatching them, as well as many other things. I watched the last two shows this week that were broadcast at the end. Somehow, I never saw these at the original time. Some shows just stop, leaving their fans looking for closure. In this case, it was wonderful to see a real “wrap-up” in the final two. They are numbers 8/15 and 8/16, if anyone wants to look for them. If anyone else enjoyed this show, I recommend seeing these. One of these days, I will have to start getting my house back into some type of order. As always, I need a part time person to hire to help me with this. I have all but given up looking for this individual, because nobody seems interested. This is not just my needs; many businesses desperately need help. It is a very differ-

ent world out there. I thought back at all of the people we have had for various jobs in the past. I could write a book just telling about many of them, but the most interesting parts would have to remain just in my memory. Some of it is actually so bizarre that it would not even be believed. Like many customers that I had at Country Cottage, a group of past employees have passed away. A person that I will always miss is Annie Weiss, the wonderful older lady who worked for us at the Silver Bell. She and her husband, Leo, were the original owners, when it was a very different building, ultimately burning down. Even when she was on oxygen, she wanted to be in the kitchen, staying far away from the fryers. She adored my son, Sean, and did all that she could to help him. I have told this story many times, but it bears repeating: One afternoon, I was rushing through the kitchen, on my way to do something. An-

nie stopped me for a second, saying she had something to tell me. I told her that I was in a big hurry, and would talk to her the next day. That afternoon, she went home, sat down on her couch, and unexpectedly, passed away. Never make this mistake with anyone you care about in any of your lives. I have had to accept many things this year; not the least of which is having my home in a big mess. There are those who always thought it was like this, but I actually did have many things in order. However, considering all of the responsibilities my poor husband has had to assume, I learned not to criticize. My bathroom linen closet looks like a blind two-year old has been looking for something. Many things in the kitchen are far out of their places. It is actually a lucky thing that I can accept things like they are; I have one family member who would be having a nervous breakdown. I hope everyone is having a great summer; never take anything for granted.

single thread chain stitch; once you thread the needle, you can begin to stitch. There are no thread tension adjustments. The Singer catalog entry for this machine states that “The Singer Chain Stitch Portable Hand Machine meets the lightest, daintiest sewing requirements” and that the weight is “only 18 pounds.” Not a lightweight machine by today’s standards! It would not have been useful for making a large or important project but could have been used to quickly make repairs. It would

Eloise was a daughter of Thomas Mumford, Jr. and grew up in New Harmony. She married Dr. Ruﬃn Claiborne in 1908 and went with him to live in Louisiana. She passed away at the age of only 32 years, in June of 1909. It was one of her brothers, Dr. Eugene Bishop Mumford, who gave this machine to the WMI in 1950.

WMI’s Artifact Under Exam by Melora Adams An object we have recently catalogued is a hand powered sewing machine. It is a Singer sewing machine, nicely decorated and in good condition. It belonged to Eloise Mumford Claiborne, according to our records. The Singer sewing machine serial number database indicates that this machine was made in Elizabethport, New Jersey, in July of 1905.

It shows some signs of light use. For example, there are some thread fragments on it. It is evident looking at the base of the machine that there was a case which covered it and probably had a handle on it for carrying. This is one of Singer’s earliest portable machines, and one of the simplest sewing machines of that time. It is designed to make a

Ask Amy Koch A monthly column from the Executive Director of the Charles Ford Retirement Communities of New Harmony Answers This column first appeared a year ago and is being updated and republished due to the frequency of the many questions it answers about assisted living, its features and costs. Amy Koch, executive director at the Charles Ford Retirement Communities of New Harmony, responds to the most often asked ones, here. Keep in mind, the answers may be modified when Covid restrictions are in effect. 1. If I live at the CFRC, can I keep my car and/or golf cart and drive them whenever I want? “Doors are locked but residents have the code and may come and go and are encouraged to be as independent and active as possible. Those who are capable of safely operating a car or golf cart at home are encouraged to continue to do so when they become residents here.” 2. Can I have a coffee maker in my room? “Each room is equipped with a lovely kitchenette including cabinets with granite sink tops, a room-sized refrigerator and microwave. There is always coffee available in our Bistro area, however we welcome residents to bring a coffee pot

P C H

for in-room use.” 3. Do I have to eat breakfast in the dining room? “Many residents ask this question while moving in claiming they don’t normally eat breakfast. Some prefer to snack or have coffee in their own rooms for breakfast. We encourage residents to do what is enjoyable for them. We believe socialization is an integral part of our culture of living well; however, room service is available at breakfast time for an additional fee. 4. How do residents get physical exercise? “The most popular form of physical exercise is a walking program modified to meet specific resident needs and residents get far more physical exercise when they’re walking up and down the hall to meals and other activities. Additionally, residents have the benefit of physical and occupation therapy services through the home health agency of their choice. This benefit is most often covered by Medicare. Modified exercise programs like Tai Chi, Chair Yoga and Exercise Class are also part of our Life Enrichment program.”

Note: News in this issue includes: near-tragedy mars pleasure of bathers, honor planned for local hero of World War, canning company to soon begin operations, Civil War Veterans meet, US Navy in Norway, Harold Ranes and his watermelons and cantaloupes, and many news briefs and personals. Near Tragedy Mars Pleasure Of Bathers - Conrad Maus, Supt. of the Mount Vernon Straw Board Co., in company with his wife went to the Zergiebel Ferry on the Wabash River, west of this city Saturday evening for the purpose of joining the bathers, who during the swimming season almost nightly ﬂock to the beach for a swim. Mr. Maus was not an expert swimmer and his wife could not swim at all, but with the aid of water wings she drifted along the water until she got beyond her depth. In some matter the water wings slipped from her grasp and she called to her husband for help. Mr. Maus and another bather at once swam towards Mrs. Maus, but were unable to eﬀect a rescue until after she had gone under the water for

the third time. Just after disappearing in the water for the last time, Mr. Maus made a successful grab at her hair and with the assistance of the other bathers, succeeded in getting her to the shore. After getting the “drowned” body to shore, Mr. Maus and the other rescuer were nearly exhausted, and another local man at once began to empty the water from Mrs. Maus’ lungs. Then, three young coal miners (complete strangers) came upon the scene and informed those present that they understood the methods used in resuscitation. The miners were told to take charge, and with the assistance of the Mount Vernon bathers, restored the “drowned” woman to consciousness. While the men were working on Mrs. Maus, Dr. Doerr was quickly summoned. Upon his arrival, he administered treatment. For several days after the near tragedy, Mrs. Maus’ tongue was badly swollen but she felt no ill-effects of being in the water for so long. To Honor First Local Hero Of World War - Last Thursday night arrangements were made for the funeral of Pvt. Owen Dunn, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin P.

The body will lie is state in the corridor of the Courthouse from 9 in the morning of the funeral until 2 in the afternoon, with a guard of the Dunn Post 5 in uniform stationed about the casket. At 2 p.m., the flag-draped casket will be placed on the caisson of the old cannon belonging to the Grand Army of the Republic and taken to the First Methodist E. Church, where Rev. Charles Hatfield will preach the services. After the service, the body will be taken to the Bellefontaine Cemetery where the Legion will be in charge of the services.

Enoch Jones, aged 87, and a Veteran of the Civil War, spent several days in the city this week as the guest of his relatives, Major and Mrs. G.W. Kimball. He was born in Gibson County but before reaching manhood with his parents, moved to Illinois, and being too young to enlist as a soldier, he was taken in as a drummer boy and assigned to Co. F 40th Illinois Infantry. His brother, Silas, was a member of the same company, and when fatally wounded in the fight at Pittsburg Landing, on the Tennessee River, Enoch threw away his drum and took his brother’s gun and went through the fight without a scratch. He was later wounded by a minie ball to the breast. Before the war ended, he climbed to the rank of Captain.

Sermon of the Week - Luke 10: 25-37 By: Sean Esterline Is there anyone reading this article who knows someone with no friends or family? There are not many people like that in this world, right? Almost everyone has friends or relatives - they may not like them, but they have them. You see, by nature we are social beings. We are looking for others to share our interests, experiences and goals. It’s good to work, study or simply live with compatible people, so we try to find something in common with everyone. Generally, we find our first friends in our families. Sometimes there are conflicts within the family, but it is usually easier to live in harmony with the family because we have the same story, same values, etc.. By nature, we care for our friends and fam-

ily, the people who are most like us. This is good, but when the Lord says “love your neighbor as yourself,” is He talking about this kind of thing? No, He is speaking in a much broader sense. Here’s another question: Who among you knows someone without enemies? Almost everyone has enemies too. By human nature, we avoid the company of people with whom we have conﬂicts or who are not very friendly to us, at least. If they have hurt us, we seek to harm them. However, in other verses, our Lord Jesus Christ said, “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.” (Matthew 5.44). Do you love our enemies? What does this mean? In our Gospel for today, the Lord has given us an il-

lustration. As you should know, that one road in the “bad part of town” is very dangerous after sundown. There are many thieves down there. About a week ago, they robbed a cab driver. But early in the morning, many people walk on that road for exercise, or to travel to work or school. What would you do if you found your best friend or brother on that road, robbed and beaten? You would help, right? What would you do if the victim was a stranger, a foreigner? Would you look after him? Or if he was an enemy, a person with whom you have problems or conﬂicts? In our text, a Jew was waylaid by robbers who left him on the road. Religious men in the eyes of the Jews, the priest and the Levite, found him, but without the possibility of winning the admiration of the people, did not want to help. He was rescued by a Samaritan, not just a foreigner, but one of an ethnic/religious group with a long history of hatred and war with the Jews. The point is the Samaritan had no expectation of reward for helping the Jew. He could not win the respect of the crowd because of his identity as a Samaritan. Perhaps the Jew would not even have had a good word for the Samaritan. He acted only out of compassion for another, unfortunate human being. The question to Jesus was, Who is my neighbor? What was meant was, how wide is the circle of compassion that God expect of me? The answer was, all who are in are within that circle.

as God has treated you, you can not win the favor of God. So we often confess “We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.” Why not? Because we cannot fulfill the holy will of God by our own strength. We confess we have not loved God with all our heart. Because of our sinful human nature, we are born enemies and rebels against God. But in His great love and mercy when we were His enemies and lost in our sins, God sent his only Son, Jesus Christ, to suffer and die for us on the cross and pay the price for our sins. God the Father Almighty and the Lord Jesus Christ sent the Holy Spirit to ignite the love of God and our neighbors in our hearts through the Word and the sacraments. We are still sinners, but we are the saints of God. In Jesus Christ we always have the opportunity to repent of our lack of love and mercy and change our path. Of course, in this cruel world, there are people who want to harm us and it is best to be careful of them. There are others who willfully reject both God and our friendship. For our part, however, we will not seek to condemn, punish or reject anyone, but look for opportunities to show the same mercy that God has shown us. We need others to understand that, like them, we are sinners in need of a Savior, and that Savior is Jesus Christ, God in the flesh who forgives us all our sins… in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen. -Rev. Sean Esterline, Messiah Lutheran Church, Evansville, Ind.

The World’s Greatest Deliberative Body

B J J R James Buchanan was the American president from 1857-1861 and is credited with that description of the United States Senate as a place for respectful, intelligent and impassioned debate. Such luminaries as Henry Clay, Daniel Webster and John Calhoun forged a senate known for its ability to get hard jobs done well. Those three served when the annual pay was $5,000. Today, Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky earns $174,000 per year as one of our one hundred senators. Henry Clay represented Kentucky also. Clay was called the Great Com-

promiser due to his ability to get senate consensus on such volatile issues as war, then peace, with Great Britain in 1812-1814 and preservation of the union during ante-bellum days. Anthony Fauci is not a senator but he is our highest paid federal employee, $434,312 per year, as the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and as the chief medical advisor to the President of the United States. On July 20, 2021 Senator Paul and Dr. Fauci sat in the hallowed chamber where Henry Clay used to orate. Their exchange about the Wuhan China laboratory funds received from America was notably diﬀerent from issues concerning war and slavery. It went something like this, “You are a liar!” and “You are another!” If the famous Ohio River brawler Mike Fink (c. 1770-c. 1823)

had been involved, either Paul or Fauci might have been challenged to knock a red feather oﬀ the other’s shoulder. Or if two twelve-year-old boys during a school recess had been at odds one might have shoved the other and kicked dirt on him. For several hundred thousand dollars in salaries and such seeming trivialities as a world pandemic involved, one might expect the World’s Greatest Deliberative Body to be, well, more deliberative. As reported over the cable news networks, Paul and Fauci were each claiming the other was not just incorrect on the arcane science known as gain-offunction research; the direct accusations were that both public servants were deliberately misleading their employers, i.e., you and me, Gentle Readers.

Further, Paul accused Fauci of perjury before Congress and Fauci pointed a bony ﬁnger at Paul and yelled that Paul was intentionally confusing the facts. I do not know about you but I have found this Wuhan gain-of-function thing confusing enough on its own. Our leaders need not obfuscate things further. Research into how science can manipulate the genetic code of the coronavirus in order to create new more deadly ones sounds ominous enough. And according to some reports, the mysterious Wuhan Laboratory “Bat Lady”, Shi Zhengle, has already combined the genes of two bat viruses with genes from a SARS related strain to make a new and even more deadly virus. I am thinking we all might want to step back a way. Supposedly the good reason

for such research is to prepare us for some future deadly disease. Unfortunately, history teaches us the altruistic motivations do not always win out. Paul got his medical degree from Duke University and Fauci got his from Cornell University. They should know better than to bandy about with such concepts as world plagues, present or future. I respectfully suggest we may want to use the resources of the World’s Greatest Deliberative Body for good and not expend our precious and limited resources on schoolboy shouting matches while Washington, D.C. burns.

Matt Hostettler, State Representative New system helps teens get jobs faster For many Hoosier teenagers, having a job is important - especially over the summer. But starting a new job can take some time as they wait on work permits from their schools. To simplify and speed up the process for both teens and employers, Indiana businesses must now register employees under the age of 18 using the Indiana Department of Labor’s new online database, the Youth Employment System, or YES. By eliminating the school-issued work permit, employers can ﬁll much-needed positions and youth can start earning money much sooner. Employers can learn more about YES and set up an account here. The user-friendly database can be accessed from smartphones or computers, and used to submit needed information about employed minors. Several local businesses are hiring, and talking to employed family and friends or stopping by a business to ask about open positions is a great way for teens to ﬁnd jobs.

Renewables can Brighten the Future for Posey County

Planes and Helicopters

Posey County has an important opportunity ahead - a choice to allow a renewable energy project that would fill local school and government coffers with new tax revenue and also provide new income for farmers and landowners. I believe we shouldn’t pass up a solar energy investment in the future. This type of development will help keep the local economy robust and thriving, which is critical to keeping southern Indiana attractive for future generations. The cost of renewable sources like wind and solar energy is now lower than the cost of natural gas or coal, according to a recent Ball State University study. A mix of fuel sources will always be needed in our state, so let’s make sure we have a mix of the lowest cost options. Renewable projects deliver substantial local economic benefits on top of their low cost, making renewable energy projects a source of new revenue for many cashstrapped rural communities. Hoosiers for Renewables is working to support renewable projects throughout Indiana, which still lags far behind our Midwest neighbors in Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota. Iowa, alone, generates more than 40 percent of its electricity from renewable energy. In Indiana, we haven’t even reached 10 percent -even though renewables are the cheapest source of energy. We should all give a big shout out to Pike, Knox and Gibson, and many other counties as they move through the stages of greenlighting projects that will bring millions of dollars in local tax revenue and landowner payments. They join the ranks of counties taking charge

The last week has seen a flurry of overhead activities across crops in southwestern Indiana. At one point during Posey County fair week, two distinct fixed wing aircraft were within sight of the Posey County fairgrounds during the Horse and Pony and Goat shows. Later that day a helicopter could be seen over fields a few miles from the fairgrounds. The reason for their activity is multiple, although preventing one disease in particular garners the most attention. All fungicides currently on the market perform preventatively. They are applied to keep fungi from spreading on the crop. Curative fungicides when infestations already occur are not available. Crop scouting is important to determine what fields need treatment and when. Fungicides should not be sprayed when no anticipated fungal infection exists, to prevent the buildup of fungi resistant to our current active ingredients. The aerial delivery mechanism applies fungicides to crops, notably corn this year although application to soybeans occurs. Aerial application to soybean is less common than in corn, due to the relative height of each crop and mechanical damage prevention. Corn is a tall crop that would require quite a high boom height to spray at the agronomically best time to do so, right after tasseling, preferably just after pollination is complete. Soybeans would not require specialized equipment and tend to bounce back from wheel traffic a little more easily than corn. The other reason for aerial fungicide application is timing. The amount of time required to get equipment through each farm field that needs application takes in the order of days to weeks. Planes can apply the same amount of product to the same

of their ﬁnancial future and advancing options to expand renewable energy in Indiana: In Pike County, construction is beginning soon on a $128 million solar project. Knox County will soon see construction of a $128 million solar energy project. In Gibson County, two important solar projects will bring in more than $400 million in energy investments. And Randolph County’s Riverstart Solar project is already underway - another $180 million investment. These solar projects are poised to bring millions of dollars in tax revenue for schools and local governments. And beyond the local revenue for critical government services and lease payments to farmers, renewable energy projects are something that major companies want to see. Today, manufacturing operations are buying more power from renewable sources, often seeking access to renewable energy when deciding on new or expanded corporate locations. Amazon has wind farms in western Indiana, and AstraZeneca right in Posey County is installing solar energy. We’ve got a long way to go, but the trend is looking up as we diversify our energy generation mix. Indiana utilities and electric cooperatives are eager to add solar and wind to their portfolios. The time has come to let the sun shine in. Steve Eberly, Executive Director of Hoosiers for Renewables.

acres in a matter of hours. Fungicides are most useful in soybean when presence of a fungus is likely to occur. Although the humidity and rainfall patterns make many years a possible year to treat soybean with a fungicide, conditions are not right every year. When a fungicide is needed, the recommended growth stage to treat is R3, or when pods have emerged and are 5 mm long at one of the four uppermost nodes of the plant. For corn, we spray when Southern Rust is likely to occur. In 2017, the disease managed to take hold in mid-July, severely affecting yields in southwestern Indiana and resulting in many a crop scout to take on an orange to brown hue when exiting fields. As a result, more intense scouting for Southern Rust occurs in Indiana. We generally find infection coming from due south of us, with airborne spores riding along and being deposited out of the air with storm systems or being brought in by the remnant of a hurricane. As of this writing, University-confirmed samples of this disease exist in Gibson County. Cue the helicopters and airplanes. Aerial application of fungicide is a little less precise, with potential overspray possible. The bad news is wasted product. The good news is that fungicides are generally not harmful to the unintended target. Mild inconvenience or accidental treatment of athlete’s foot certainly could occur. Most of the information in this article is taken from “Foliar Fungicide Use in Corn and Soybeans,” a University of Kentucky publication by Hershman, Vincelli, and Kaiser.

Myriad of thoughts that make sense Persuasion and positive reinforcement.

When I was a kid we always had hay burners around for entertainment and also for character building. By character building I mean for teaching work ethic. We had to haul and stack hay, build fence and corrals, clean and oil saddles and tack and haul manure. We didn’t have much money and farriers were expensive so we sometimes talked our neighbor into putting shoes on our old nags. Dad decided I should, and would, learn how to shoe a horse for economic reasons… we had a couple neighbors as I mentioned one of whom was named Art, who could help teach me. Art was too old to do the work but he was in good enough shape to give me instruction, so I learned how to shoe. Big mistake… because dad then farmed me out to put shoes on for whoever… and any free time was spent doubled over under some nag, whether it be ours or someone else’s. Dad had an old sorrel horse that was ornery, and especially so when getting shoes put on. He was making a fuss while I was working

on a back hoof and I had just tapped the last nail in when he decided to pitch a fit. He didn’t even give me time to clinch the nail over, when of a sudden he raised up to kick. I had ahold of his hoof when he let loose and it ripped that nail right through the tip of my middle finger, it ripped my finger nail off and… well I was hurting and a little ticked off… to say the least. In my younger days I had quite a temper and you might say I come unwound. Now growing up I got plenty of correction along with positive reinforcement for my misdeeds… so some of that knowledge soaked in, and I decided I had enough of that nag acting up and he needed to learn to behave, so I commenced to giving him some correction with the end of a lariat rope. Now I’ve felt leather and lumber both on my backside and it kept me on the straight and narrow so I used some of that knowledge. Dad saw all the commotion from the house and came out and started my way when I paused and looked at him and he could see blood and my pain and he could tell by my demeanor, that I was mad. Dad just turned around and left. That old nag stood like a statue, never twitched ear nor tail until after I was through… he never moved a muscle.

Death gives time value. Being involved in agriculture we are exposed to death and mortality. Animals die and crops fail… we don’t like it but we get used to it. The death of a child is diﬀerent. It goes against nature, it’s not supposed to happen. Your not supposed to bury your children. Don’t forget to take in the beauty of time spent with your children instead of spending your time chasing a dollar … death from old age is just collateral damage from living. Death at a young age is never ending memories… and what might have been. Unexpected things. We all have things that happen that are totally unexpected… both good and bad. They might be the people we meet, hardships we face, gifts we receive, or circumstances that change. They all have a way of altering our journey through life… for better or for worse, but they eﬀect us and who we are go-

Funny what memories come back to me from stumbling across old tools. Sometimes I think that’s what is wrong with people today…They need to learn how to work and that a little persuasion from positive reinforcement should take place in the home. It worked for me.

ing forward nevertheless. Sometimes things happen that will forever change our trajectory, our feelings, our thoughts, our actions our outlook on life and where we are headed, and how we get there. My day is done… But at the end of the day all we have is who we are. No matter what trials life may bring… it is what it is. Hopefully it makes us a better person realizing there will be a day when all our days will end. Hopefully all these trials and unexpected things are teaching us maybe to have a little more compassion, more sympathy and little more empathy towards others. Our day was as God has planned it. Will I wake tomorrow to see another? Only God knows. So I’m constantly watching, looking, searching for those hidden wonders to calm my thoughts, clear my mind and ready myself for tomorrow should tomorrow come my way. I was blessed with one more wonder to see. So with this scene I’ll be at peace, for today is done and tomorrow is but another mystery…

Heavy rain, tree trimming leave Council with expenses By Trisha Lopez Potential updates at Maple Hill Cemetery topped a full agenda at the New Harmony Town Council meeting on Tuesday. Council members voted to allow Council President Alvin Blaylock to get estimates for road work, parking lot improvements and a possible expansion onto ground already purchased by the cemetery. “We need to be doing some work at Maple Hill Cemetery. The pavement up on top of the hill is getting in bad shape and we need to look at possibly paving the parking lot down at the bottom of the hill,” Blaylock explained. Heavy rains from storms last Friday left 12 to 15 inches of water in the parking lot, leaving a muddy trail in its wake, Blaylock said. “I don’t know the answer. We called the county highway department yesterday. If they could keep their ditch cleaned out better… It overflows and then the water comes down the county road and it flows through our parking lot. That always leaves driftwood and a mud trail,” Blaylock said. “It’s kind of sad out there right now.” He recommended each council member contact the Posey County Highway Department to “ask them to help us.” “They don’t maintain that too (well),” Blaylock said. Blaylock said that he doesn’t think work could be done this year, but he thinks it is a project that could be planned during the winter months for summer 2022. “It is going to be some expense involved if we do this,” he cautioned. Blaylock suggested grating the road and adding gravel as a short-time fix, an idea that Councilman Tom Williams, department head for cemeteries, liked and council voted to approve. “I don’t see why we just couldn’t do that for the meantime, just in the next two months. It would be a nice bandaid on the problem,” Williams said. Blaylock said two culverts are too small and he has looked at adding a 24-inch culvert installed by town workers for about $4,500 to help with the problem. “It’s hard to pin a price on it until the day you order it, but the town can do the work

if we get down the road far enough,” he explained. He urged council to continue to look at the overall fixes needed at the cemetery and not be satisfied with the band aid fixes long term. “Don’t give up. We need to continue to look. We need to do some things out there. The cemetery is for the people of New Harmony. Lots of families. It’s been around for years and years and years. At times, it’s kind of said,” he reiterated. “Like I said, again, it’s going to take money to do it. This might be a thorn or it might be a good thing.” Blaylock suggested that money for the work could come from the town’s school fund. “It’s more than what the cemetery fund has in it at this point,” he said. The need to expand the cemetery followed road repairs on the agenda. Blaylock said the property south of the cemetery was purchased in 2012 or 2013 for a future expansion. “They bought the property, they spent some money to cut trees and then it’s just laid there forever since then,” he said. “It’s getting harder and harder to find plots in Maple Hill Cemetery. There are empty spaces, but a lot of them are sold. If you want to go buy four plots, a family plot, that would be next to impossible to do.” He said he spent 45 minutes with a couple trying to find two plots together, but “it’s tough.” Blaylock explained that the area of the expansion is mapped to add up to 910 plots. “But you’d have to build the road and do some work. I’m not asking for money today, but, guys, we need to be looking at this and do something,” he said. “This is going to be, if we undertake it, a very expensive item. If we start, I would highly recommend we don’t get halfway there and quit.” Council members discussed the need to put the town’s ordinances online. Clerk-Treasurer Karla Atkins told members it would cost $275 per year. Councilman Roger Wade pointed out that it would be wise to review ordinances to see if any changes were needed prior to paying to have everything uploaded, so the issue was tabled to allow members to

decide what, if any, changes should be addressed. Members debated a $25,000 donation request from the Workingmen’s Institute to help with roof replacement costs. The request was tabled in June’s meeting to allow Erin Bauer to look into legal statutes pertaining to towns making donations. “I would love to see us participate in this. I think it’s a huge asset to our town. They’ve gotten a lot of personal participation already and I think it would be a really appropriate show of good faith from the town to chip in,” Williams said. “I’m all for it.” Williams made a motion to approve the request, but no one seemed ready to second. Blaylock eventually seconded Williams’ motion so that the issue could be decided. “We’ve got a lot of expenses that we’ve been out and still got coming in. If we do this, then somebody else is going to come forward for something else. I just don’t see how we can do it,” Councilwoman Virginia Alsop said. Williams said it was “part of our job to consider one request at a time.” “I don’t think it necessarily sets a precedent,” he said. “To help people put a roof on?” Alsop countered. “Did the town help pay for the last roof?” Williams said he didn’t know when the last roof was installed. “I just think it’s a pretty minimal request considering the cost and considering the significance of the building,” he said. “They’ve gotten individuals giving the same amount. The six board members have come up with $33,000 between them.” Bauer said she found a statute in Indiana Code that allows towns to “provide aid” to libraries and museums. “The question is...who would fall in that category down the road?” Bauer said. Alvin said he could see both sides of the argument. “The library is a great addition to our town. That’s correct. But there’s other buildings that are also great additions. There’s nothing to say that four people come next month and want $25,000. It would get tough,” he said.

The motion failed 3-2 with a roll call vote with members Alsop and Blaylock voting against and Gary Watson and Williams voting in favor of the donation. Wade abstained from voting, which left a 2-2 tie, forcing Atkins to cast the deciding vote against the request. “I guess if I have to vote, I vote nay. I’m not prepared to make a decision at this point,” Atkins said. In the claims portion of the meeting, Alsop was concerned that tree trimming services approved in June with a $3,225 bid that ultimately cost around $13,000. Blaylock explained that more trees were added after the initial quote was approved. “Is that something that we needed to have been notified or told?” Alsop asked. “When you came to me and said ‘I’d like to have that tree added to the list,’ I thought you were in agreement that we cut that tree down?” Blaylock responded. “That’s not the only tree, I don’t think, for it to have went up to $13,000,” Alsop said. “It just kind of surprised me. I knew there was some stuff added to it, but I didn’t realize it was that much. As long as somebody, other people, knew about it then…” “I’m quite sure you knew about it,” Blaylock quipped. “I talked to you several times about it. I talked to Roger (Wade). Whenever the crane is hanging over the tree and the man is on top of the tree with the chainsaw, we don’t have time to stop and call for a meeting. It takes 48 hours to have a meeting. So if he’s hanging in that tree and we advertise for a meeting, we have to send them home and then when they come back, your price goes up.” Other items discussed by council include: Members discussed reducing the number of days and time allowed for fireworks within town limits. Watson mentioned properties around town that need to be cleaned and asked about the procedure for sending formal requests. The town was presented a check for a $100 donation from vendor fees for Arts in MaClure Park. A bid for $787.23 was approved for cleaning and rewaxing the fire house floor. A budget meeting was scheduled for 8:30 a.m., on August 10.

‘Radios’ continued from Page A1 any radio system, so there was a period of time where emergency responders and 911 dispatch were unsure if there were actual issues within the system or if it was just a learning curve,” Knowles explained. “There are vast differences when you switch from a radio system that most have known their entire career to a brand new, more limited, radio system.” At the July Posey County Council meeting, council members said they were told the new system would provide 90 to 94 percent signal coverage. They want what they said they were promised. What they say they have is a patchwork grid of hit and miss signal areas that leaves emergency service workers vulnerable and unable to call for backup. “For counties to have issues with the ability for their first responders to communicate back...it’s dangerous. It’s frightening. It’s not unheard of, but it’s not common either. These are things that we all cringe over,” said Kelly Dignin, executive director of the state’s Integrated Public Safety Commission. Shepherd, a former volunteer firefighter who served eight years in the U.S. Marine Corps., said he didn’t promise 100 percent coverage and seeing the county’s front line workers in danger is the last thing he wants. “As a rule, 95 percent on street portable radio coverage is acceptable unless otherwise specified in the bid specifications. We believe that we have provided the best possible coverage given the constraints of the tower sites and the licensing from the FCC.” The irony that strong communication is essential to get to the bottom of communication system failures is not lost on Dingin. “Sometimes the communication failure is that we just fail to communicate. We weren’t on the same page and we didn’t have a good plan. And then there are what I refer to as communication failures, the system failed,” Dignin said. “Posey County has a Nexedge System, which is a good system. I think if you were to go to some of the vendors and some of the other radio folks, they would have the urge...and I kind of have the urge to brag on mine, too… to say ‘oh ours is better than yours and your system is no good.’ But, honestly, the Nexedge System is a very good system. Washington County uses it. Harrison County uses it. To my knowledge, they have no issues with communication. They use our system (the 800 megahertz system used by the Indiana State Police and 85 of Indiana’s 92 counties) as a backup,” Dignin said. Posey County has continued to use the old analog system that county officials were told was in immediate need of replacing. Shepherd said the analog system is operating well beyond FCC legal limits for power. “The alert pagers the county emergency responders utilize are not digital capable, therefore to alert the responders, we use the analog system. The system is also used for EMS units when they transport a patient to any of the Vanderburgh County hospitals or are called for mutual aid in Vanderburgh County,” Knowles said. “I am unable to speak on why the power levels were set so high on the analog system. That was before my appointment.”

Shepherd and Dignin agree that use of the other system could lead to signal interference issues. “On February 6, 2017, we conducted an audit of the old analog system. We found the system operated greatly overpowered and illegally operated with the FCC licensing held by the county,” Shepherd said. “The FCC license for the county specified a 100 watt repeater with a 197 watt ERP (effective radiated power). The system consisted of a repeater transmitting at 225 watts which produces a 725 watt ERP. The fire and EMS paging system was illegally operating at 300 watts with an ERP of 857 watts. Five voting sites were installed throughout the county to help with portable talk-in coverage. To this day this has not been fixed to bring the old system into compliance with the FCC.” Dignin said those transmitter numbers are double or triple the power allowed by the FCC. She said operating both systems “could very well be causing communication issues with the new system. It’s very, very possible for it to be causing interference.” “That is a violation,” she said. “Why would you build a new system? Because your old one wasn’t working correctly and the only way to fix it was in violation of your licensing? Why are you still putting money in support of that system?” Shepherd said county officials said they would stop using the old system. “The county had agreed to taking the old systems down and (said they) would not be reusing these frequencies. Thus, we reallocated the old fire, EMS and law frequency. The issue arose that the county EMS did not stop using the old system due to needing to talk back out of county. Each time the EMS or fire used the old frequency, it catastrophically interferes with the new system. This had been brought up several times to the county, but they continued to use the old system,” Shepherd said. Dingin said southern Indiana can be challenging for radio coverage because of the terrain, but there are potential fixes she recommends for most counties to try. Portable radios are much less powerful than mobile, or in-car, radios. Longer public safety microphones are needed to provide better service coverage. She urges responders to check their radios to make sure that antennas are not bent, too, but her biggest suggestion is that counties check to make sure radios have been updated. “Have you had it aligned? Have you had it updated? Radios are built to operate at a certain frequency. They can get off frequency. As a matter of fact, the day you purchase them, they can come from the manufacturer off-frequency. About 60 percent of radios are not sold to you on-frequency. When was the last time you tuned your radios? They really should be tuned every two years,” she said. Flash upgrades are also important, she said. “Your flash upgrade in your radio is like your software on your laptops when you get your Microsoft updates or your Mac updates. Could you imagine not taking those updates and how your computer is going to operate? Your radio is no different. You would be surprised how many people I talk to that they’ve never had their radio flashed. The reason they don’t do it is

The Three-Ring Circus was very popular with two shows every evening from Tuesday through Friday nights. “When I looked over at the bleachers for the circus, they were always packed with people standing all over around them. I heard from many parents that the children really liked the show and went several times,” said Hannah Duncan, Circus Event Chairman and Demolition Derby

Chairman. “We know all of our hard work paid off when the parking lot was always full on each day.” McGennis said the IPPA Tractor Pulls drew in a huge crowd,too. Chris Woods, Chairman of the Kid Zone, said his area brought in children of all ages each night in great numbers. Inside the kid building, Woods built a miniature farm where children could do things like simulated cow milking, collecting eggs, playing with corn kernels, riding mini-tractors, and watching baby chicks

meeting with several families now to see if they qualify on one of several pathways now available to get the scholarship, “she explained. One event she anticipates is the gala Annual Auction to benefit the school held every spring. “I hear the auctions are amazing! So much fun and everyone comes together to generate some good funds for the school. This is a strong school family; the community supports one another here.”

hatch out. A litter of baby piglets and their mother was a highlight for the youngsters, as well as building toy trains, Lego kits, and the ever-popular Pedal Pulls for all ages. “I appreciated all the community support I received to help me build this farm display and put on these events. I ran out of popcorn one night and the next day, I had a lot delivered to me by several people who wanted to help,” Chris remarked. “It was so great!” “The Fair Board would like to thank all of our com-

munity and our sponsors for helping us to pull off such a great fair this year. We couldn’t have done it without your help,” Jake McGennis declared. The Fair Board will now meet and review all of the fair events in retrospect and seek new ways to improve it. “We are already talking about plans and new events for next year,” Jake noted. The Posey County Fair has a Facebook page if you would like to comment on ideas for next year or call one of the members of the board to give input.

money,” she said. Those upgrades can cost between $100 to $150 per hour and can take two or three hours per radio. Dignin said Posey County has 100 nearly obsolete state radios that will need to be replaced soon. She said replacement radios can cost upwards of $2,000 each. After checking radios, she recommended county officials reach out to Kenwood for a coverage map. “Kenwood should be able to say here’s the frequencies you’re operating on and the power those frequencies are at. The power makes a difference as well, besides height (of towers). Based on your height, based on your power, based on frequency...this is your coverage,” Dingin said. She said her agency will look at up to three of the county’s radios for no charge if the county would like to get feedback on possible issues. “Just because they’re not using the state’s system doesn’t mean that we won’t help them,” she said. She also said she’d be happy to troubleshoot the problem with county officials should they want to reach out to her. “Our vision is interoperability, so even if you have your own system, we still need to communicate with you during disasters,” she said. Knowles said that he recently reprogrammed the county’s radios, but “it’s too early to give a statement on whether or not this has ‘fixed’ any of the issues.” He said there are positives about the new system, but he believes that the system is “a bit too complex for a county of our size, especially with the constraints we struggle with of terrain and being such a rural county.” “I believe the new system is working as it should. Unfortunately, it just comes with some new areas of no coverage,” he said. “The radio system, with its current setup, is working up to specs. While I understand that isn’t what most users thought, I don’t believe it’s necessarily a problem with the radio system itself.” Posey County Council President Heather Allyn said the time has come for all of the interested parties to come together and take the steps necessary to find answers. “We need to meet, take a look at the coverage, resolve the compliance issues and make a plan to achieve the coverage as promised,” Allyn said. Shepherd said he’s open to meeting to discuss the issue. VEI does not have a maintenance contract with Posey County, but they have worked with Knowles to try to help. He maintains that no specific coverage amount was guaranteed. “Since the county was given the opportunity to do the coverage test and considered it acceptable, we find this a closed project. We have completely gone through the system to make sure that the system is operating as designed and operating correctly,” Shepherd said If the system is operating correctly, but coverage issues remain, what is the next step county officials need to take to ensure the safety of EMS workers? Bill Collins, president of the Posey County Commissioners, said that while they are in the process of making sure that all radios, towers and equipment are operating at the required specifications, county officials and VEI “will get together to make decisions on where we go from there.” “Hopefully, this will happen sooner (rather) than later,” Collins said. “I am certainly interested in any grants to upgrade or replace the system.” Adding towers can be pricey, but Dingin said Posey County already has two, 300-foot towers. If more towers are needed, the county could build one for about $750,000 or attach one to a water tower for about $250,000. Those towers may be used to generate income by allowing radio stations or cell phone providers to use them, too, she said. Once installed, the state maintains the towers and system for free. She said Ind. Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch’s office is looking into grants to help expand broadband projects. “If we can partner with them, we can add public safety equipment on it,” she explained. She said the National Telecommunications and Information Association has several grant options available to help with tower costs. No matter what choices county officials make, changes in the world of public safety are seldom met with enthusiasm. “It’s a completely different culture in public safety. For non-public safety folks, if you tell them that part of the issue is change, it easily could go ‘well that’s silly nonsense and we’re going to dismiss that because it’s not a valid issue.’ But, for those in public safety, it’s a very big issue,” Dingin said. “Change is a very bad thing when it comes to how we operate and how we think. The whole point is we don’t have to think. We just respond, which saves minutes and seconds that way. When it comes to their radios, it’s our first responders’ lifeline. Especially if they’re yelling into a radio ‘I need help’ and they think the transmission went through and it didn’t. They think help is on the way and it’s not. This is their lifeline. It’s very serious.”

More beds to be available through ‘Sleep in Heavenly Peace’ By Trisha L. Lopez The Evansville chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a notfor-proﬁt group dedicated to providing beds for children, is looking for Posey County families in need for its September 11 build date. Sponsored by liquor stores owned by Mount Vernon alumnus and Evansville Sleep in Heavenly Peace Founder Paul Watzlavik, the Posey County Sleep in Heavenly Peace date has nine beds requested thus far, but the group plans to deliver at least 20 beds in Posey County that day. Watzlavik said sign up sheets are available at the following locations: Roadhouse Wine & Spirits, 819 East Fourth Street, Mount Vernon; Roadhouse Liquor, 233 West Third Street, Mount Vernon; New Harmony Wine & Spirits, 1023 Church Street, New Harmony; and Posey County Package Liquor, 136 Saint Francis Street, Poseyville. Sleep in Heavenly Peace is a national organization that has built beds for more than 65,000 children across the United States. The Evansville chapter opened in August 2020. Volunteers gather each month at 1167 South Green River Road, in Evansville to assemble and deliver the beds, funded by community donations. Mattresses and bedding are also provided. “We had a goal of $1,750 and our customers donated that earlier this year. Our business is matching the donation,” Watzlavik said. “We have a partnership with Lowe’s so they give (our materials) to us at a discount. We get the lumber and cut it to size prior to the Saturday build when volunteers come.” Watzlavik said they are also looking for volunteers. He said they need about 30 volunteers for each build. They start working at 8 a.m., say a prayer, explain the process to volunteers and split them into diﬀerent teams to begin building. The day wraps up at noon. No construction experience is needed. Team leaders walk volunteers through the entire process.

The Evansville chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a not-for-proﬁt group dedicated to providing beds for children, is looking for Posey County families in need for its “Volunteers always say the same thing. Holy cow, I had no idea that there was this type of need...this level of folks that are poor and in need in the Evansville area. Unfortunately, it’s a well kept secret,” Watzlavik said.

September 11 build date. Beds can be requested at any of the Watzlavik’s Posey County Liquor stores and recipients will remain anonymous. For more information, please visit the Sleep in Heavenly Peace website at www.shpbeds.org. September 11 will be the ﬁrst build scheduled for exclusively Posey County children. A second Posey County build is planned for December 11.

Cheerleaders get their day in the sun as camp concludes By: Trisha Lopez Members of the Mount Vernon High School and Mount Vernon Junior High School cheer teams participated in a one-day stunt camp at home on Friday. The camp, led by 15-year all-star coach, choreographer and former Indiana State University cheerleader Wes Thomas of Indianapolis, focused on gameday and competition stunts and tumbling that the Wildcat cheer teams can incorporate into football and basketball games this year. Thomas has won multiple national cheerleading titles as both a coach and an athlete and travels throughout the midwest working with teams. “The day was very productive.

Gordon signs to play at Olney Central By: Trisha Lopez Mount Vernon basketball alumnus Noah Gordon signed on Tuesday, his letter of intent to play at Olney Central College in Olney, Ill. Gordon joined the Wildcats in 2020 and immediately made his presence known, playing a leadership role in a rebuilding season that saw the Wildcats jump from 2-24 in 2020 to 10-11 in 2021. He led the team in scoring and rebounds, averaging 18.6 points and 11 boards per game. He scored a seasonhigh 34 points and 21 rebounds in the team’s come from behind 67-62 victory over Evansville Bosse on Feb. 23. The 6-7 senior had 381 points, 41 assists, 231 rebounds, 30 steals and 31 blocks on the season. He was named to the HBCA All-District 2 senior team and

earned All-PAC and honorable mention All State honors. “I chose Olney because it seemed like the best fit. After the game at Bosse, Coach Casey (Wyllie) came up to me and we had a talk. I saw his interest right away and as the season went on, I kept thinking if anything was going to happen after Covid hit hard and made it hard for 2021 players to get offers. After the season ended, I was playing AAU ball and kept getting interest, but never got an official (offer) from a division one (school). Coach Casey was always patient with me and knew what I had and what I could do. He always kept in contact with me, so I felt that I was wanted a lot. I was always told by my parents and peers to go where you’re wanted. I just felt like (Olney Central) was the best opportu-

nity to show people that I’m going to be great,” Gordon said. Coach Wyllie said he is very excited that Gordon chose to continue his career as an Olney Central Blue Knight. “Noah’s ability to play inside out and score in a variety of ways was very intriguing to us. Noah has a good frame at 6’7-235 pounds and is very mobile. He can defend multiple positions and can really run the floor,” Wyllie said. “We cannot wait to get to work with Noah.” Gordon said he plans to pursue a business major at Olney Central and hopes to earn All-American honors in his freshman season. “If I can out-work everyone, I will be just fine,” Gordon said. He said watching his brother play

First North Posey Alumni soccer scrimmage is a big hit By Chris Morlan North Posey held its inaugural alumni soccer matches for the past Viking men and women players last Saturday followed by a red versus white scrimmage between this season current Lady Viking squad. Many former boys and girls’ soccer players from the past attended this event and showed a great performance on a very warm day of weather. “It was truly a privilege to host the inaugural North Posey Soccer Alumni Day at the high school turf field,” Coach Derek Sweeney said. “What a treat it was to see old and new friends come together with laughter, rekindled camaraderie and sportsmanship while playing the game they love at the school they love.” The day started off with the men’s alumni game playing two, 25-minute halves. This was followed by the lady’s alumni game that also played two, 25-minute halves. Then the current Lady Vikings came on the field for two, 20-minutes halves to close out the day. There were 23 alumni boys that participated in the scrimmage. They were Will Stock, Tyler Stock, Braden Schipp, Garrett Parker, Matthew Pieszchalski, Sean Pieszchalski, Brennon Sweeney, Aaron Fetcher, Cole Simpson, Cameron Fisher, Kyle Swope, Drew Murray, Logan Schmitt, Aaron Goebel, Hunter Alkire, Ben Blankenberger, Nick Crumbacher, Brinden Morrell, Anthony Martinez, Travis Girten, Nick Schmitt, Jake Parker and Julian Herke. For the lady’s alumni game, there were 11 players participating in the scrimmage. The following individuals that played were Jevin Downen, Brooke Coleman, Brianna Perry, Meredith Stephens, Annelise Brown, Jill Davis Smith, Heather Johnson Droege,

Kaylen Tippett, Peyton Eyer Straw, Brooklyn Hamman and Hayleigh Latham. This season’s North Posey girls’ soccer team consists of seniors Annie Alcantara, Lauren Zirkelbach, Lyndsey Gentil, Audrey Hirsch and Lexi Cole. Juniors Mason Ashby, Shaina Farrar, Grace Cullman, Faith Curry, Reagan Koester and Kylea Devoy. The sophomore class is Malaki Carter and Samantha Rhew. The freshman class is Zoe Bippus, Lora Commens

and Reece Basham. “All in all, the alumni showed well, scored some beautiful goals, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves,” Sweeney said. “It was great to hear the alumni’s family and friends cheer them on, and surely it made their day to play in front of supporters again. We had this year’s current players on the sideline to also show support for the alumni, so they get a since of the club’s history. We have hopes, the

day grows larger each year and for many more years to come. We’d like to thank all the alumni for making

the time and for putting on good shows. Special thanks to the North Posey Athletic Department, North Posey

Soccer Club, and to Coach Mark Stephens for creating the alumni social media groups to get the word out.”

Dubois County bolsters stock of USI Cross Country/Track teams The University of Southern Indiana Men’s Cross Country/ Track & Field announced that four competitors have signed to compete for the Screaming Eagles and Head Coach Mike Hillyard in 2021-22. That list includes incoming sophomore Mitchell Hopf (Santa Claus, Indiana) as well as incoming freshmen Dylan Bland (Holland, Indiana), Elliott Buechlein (Lamar, Indiana) and Ricky Pflanz (Huntingburg, Indiana). Hopf is a transfer from Indiana State University, where he appeared in four cross country meets and three indoor track meets as a freshman in 2019-20 before racing in two indoor meets and one outdoor meet during the COVID-19 altered 2020-21 season. A graduate of Heritage Hills High School (Lincoln City, Indiana), Hopf helped HHHS to the 2018 Pocket Athletic Conference Track & Field championship. He was a two-time state qualifier as well as an IATCCC Class 3A All-State honoree on the cross country course in 2017. He also was an Academic All-State honoree in 2019, a five-time All-PAC honoree and two-time sectional champion.

Bland graduated from Southridge High School in Huntingburg, Indiana, where he earned letters in basketball, cross country and track & field. He was a two-time IATCCC Class 2A All-State honoree on the cross country course as well as a three-time All-PAC honoree.

He was an IHSAA Sportsmanship Award winner. Buechlein recently finished up his senior year at Heritage Hills High School where he competed in basketball, cross country, soccer, swimming and diving and track & field.

Grambling State’s Cunningham headed to USI University of Southern Indiana Men’s Basketball announced the transfer of 6-foot-0 guard Trevell Cunningham from Grambling State University. Cunningham, who will have one year of eligibility at USI, is the ﬁfth addition since January and the sixth signing of the year by Head Coach Stan Gouard. “Trevell is the kind of player that dictates the pace of the game, who’s capable of getting to the basket, and setting up his teammates,” Gouard said. “He is what you look for in a point guard who also is very capable of being disruptive defensively. “Along with Mateo Rivera, Trevell will play a vital role in assisting our young guys and will be called upon to help them understand the landscape of college basketball from a mental and physical standpoint,” continued Gouard. “I am excited for him to be a part of the USI family.” Cunningham transfers to USI after two seasons at Grambling University, appearing in 52 games and averaging 5.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game for the Tigers.

He recorded a two-year high 6.9 points and 5.0 rebounds per game in 2020-21, along with a Grambling career-best 18 points versus Southern University and 11 assists versus Alcorn State University. The senior transfer began his collegiate career with stops at Trinidad State College (2017-18) and Triton College (2018-19). He averaged 11.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game at Trinidad State, while posting 8.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per outing at Triton. He scored a four-year college-best 25 points versus Laramie County Community College while playing for Trinidad State. Prior to his collegiate career, Cunningham lettered in basketball at Arrowhead High School (Hartland, Wisconsin), where he averaged 12.0 points per contest. In addition to Cunningham, the Eagles have welcomed 6-foot-7 forward Jordan Cousin; 6-foot-3 guard/forward Myles Belyeu; 6-foot-2 guard Isaiah Staﬀord; 5-foot-10 guard Isaiah Swope; and 6-foot-7 forward Jack Mielke to the squad for next fall.

Pflanz also is a graduate of Southridge High School, where he collected letters in football, track & field and wrestling. He was a member of SHS’s state championship team as a freshman in 2018 as well as a three regional championship teams. This past spring, Pflanz was named SHS’s move valuable runner after earning SHS’s hardest worker award on the track as a sophomore in 2019. He posted a personal-best 800-meter time of one minute, 58.08 seconds at the Jasper IHSAA sectional as a senior in 2021. “It’s exciting to bring in this level of talent, right out of our own backyard,” Hillyard said. “Mitchell, Elliott, Dylan and Ricky are all good friends who have competed with and against each other for quite some time. They are all tremendous students, students of the sport and will be great representatives of our program and University.” USI begins the 2021 cross country season September 10 when it hosts the Stegemoller Classic at Angel Mounds. The Eagles also are slated to host the NCAA II Midwest Region Championships at Angel Mounds November 6.

‘Cheer camp’ continued from Page B1 and create a fun and engaging atmosphere under the lights at Memorial Field on Friday nights this fall. Alumni, community members, parents and the POPS Football Booster Club chipped in to purchase letter flags for the team to run at games. They plan to continue to sell Mount Vernon cow

bells before home football games, building on a tradition started last season, and encourage a strong 12th man level of crowd engagement. “I would like to find new and creative ways to get the crowds involved and excited about games,” Bippus said, adding that the return of student sections will make a big

difference. “I am so excited to finally be able to cheer for the student section and watch the reactions of our peers.” Spalding said she is looking forward to seeing it all come together. “Our students’ excitement and involvement with the cheers and cheerleaders along with the game and the crowd is amazing. They are a big part of what makes cheer so fun and exciting,” Spalding said. Members of the Mount Vernon Cheer Team (fall) are: seniors, Bippus, Miller and Spalding; juniors, Alex

Healy, Calee Schneider, Abbi Dosher, Sydney Redman, Sadie Redman, Taylor Randel, Shaun Franklin; sophomores, Lauren Robb, Brandi Schu, Madi Huss, Rylee Schmuck, Ava Kincade and Destin Gentry; freshmen, Kaitlynn Hoy, Jazelle Permenter, Isabella Ewalt, Krystal Lamprich and CortLynn Dobleman.

‘Gordon’ continued from Page B1 college basketball inspired him and called his parents and brother his role models. “I never looked up to certain players and molded my game after anyone. I just went out and played. Working with my dad and brother when I was younger made me realize that I could be something special. I just had to put it all together,” Gordon said. Mount Vernon Basketball Coach Joe Newcomb said Olney Central, who went 14-7

in 2021, is a “great choice for Noah and will provide him an opportunity to expand and grow his game.” “Noah is a hard working kid who loves the game of basketball. He is a tireless worker who wants to continue to improve and seeks to push others to do the same,” Newcomb said. “I am excited to watch his game continue to grow and am excited about the opportunity he has at Olney.”

Traffic stop nets Deal, Scott arrests

Kalin Deal On July 17, 2021, at 4:57 p.m. Gibson County Deputy Brian Naas conducted a traffic stop on a Gray 2008 Chevy van in the 700 block of East Oak Street in Fort Branch for an equipment violation. Upon approaching the vehicle Deputy Naas identified the driver as 31-year-old Kalin Deal of Owensville. While speaking with Deal, Deputy Naas had reasonable suspicion to believe that Deal might be under the influence of an unknown intoxicant. At that point Deputy Naas began a roadside OWI investigation. During the investigation it was discovered that a passenger in the vehicle 31-yearold Christina Scott of Fort Branch had an outstanding warrant through Vanderburgh

Shristina Scott County. Also, illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia were discovered in the vehicle. At the conclusion of his investigation Deputy Naas had Scott and Deal transported to the Gibson County Jail. Upon arriving at the Gibson County Jail Deal was charged with Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. He remains in custody on a $650 bond. Scott was charged with Possession of a Legend Drug, Possession of Paraphernalia, and a hold for the outstanding Felony Warrant out of Vanderburgh County. Assisting Deputy Naas in his investigation was Fort Branch Officer Jeff Beck and Haubstadt Officer Riley Farmer.

Trying to carry on the ag is important. I’m the only farmer that sits on that committee,” he said. “That’s why I think it’s so important that we get people involved that have the ag background and the ag interest to carry that on.” Seib has also served at the state and national levels for the soybean association and both he and wife Cheryl have been active members of Farm Bureau. Mark Seib served as chairman of the American

Sheryl Seib has served as Posey County’s women’s leader for Farm Bureau, was named the Purdue Outstanding Woman of the Year for Indiana and was selected by the U.S. State Department to travel to Ukraine to work with Ukrainian women on farming co-op practices. “Sheryl and I take our turns.

Sheryl Seib grew up helping on her grandfather’s farm and told her friends that she knew she would marry a farmer one day. After 43 years, two children and four “absolutely wonderful grandchildren” the pair says they don’t really fight, but “have loud discussions sometimes.” “It’s a good love story,” she said. “We’re in this together,” Mark Seib agreed. “For better or worse... we’re in this together,” Sheryl added with a chuckle. Mark Seib told tour-goers that the key to being able to balance off-farm obligations with the daily operations of Seib Farms is having his family’s support every step of the way. “They step up every time I leave and take care of the things that need to be taken care of. I’m so appreciative of them. I don’t thank them enough. That is the one things it takes...family to support family,” he said.
