Midwest Fertilizer plant still in the works IRS audit slowing down construction

By Lois Mittino Gray Many Posey County residents are wondering what happened to the fertilizer plant construction, near Mount Vernon, originally planned for completion in January 2018. In an interview with the Posey County News back in March, 2015, Midwest Fertilizer President and CEO Michael Chorlton projected that January date for completion of the $2 billion facility, amidst all kinds of hoopla and excitement for what that would mean for the county’s economic development.

Now, a shovelful of soil hasn’t even been turned at a groundbreaking ceremony and there is a dearth of information in the press.

New Harmony resident David Campbell asked for a recent update in a “Letter to the Editor” in the Posey County News a few weeks ago.

With his question in mind, Les Wright, the current interim President and CEO/ CFO for Midwest Fertilizer Company LLC answered questions this week. He replaced Chorlton, his friend of 25 years, who retired in July 2016. “I still talk to him about

every day. We have a really long standing relationship, going way back to our work together in Canada,” he reflected.

So is it still going to happen after such a long hiatus?

“Midwest Fertilizer is fully committed to completion of this project. We had great planning and cooperation for this ‘state of the art’ fertilizer plant,” Wright assures.. “I still keep in touch and come down to meet with your county commissioners and economic development groups to update them.”

Wright explained the stymie is “an IRS audit going on with respect to our bonds.

It is a technical tax question raised and, as

NH council addresses nuisance complaints

It makes me happy to come to work and take care of them. I love what I do,” she says.

“What inspired me to work in long-term care was a lot of times, they need an advocate, someone to speak up for them, to make sure they’re getting good quality care, being treated well.”

The energetic 34-year-old possesses the education and experience as well as the youthful vision to manage up to 66 residents and upwards of 75 staff members.

By Lois Mittino Gray Like many other Posey County communities, New Harmony is actively addressing the problem of nuisance properties. At its July 17, morning meeting, the New Harmony Town Council heard updates on three properties declared nuisances at the last meeting and designated another two properties on Granary Street as nuisances.

Council President Alvin Blaylock gave an update on the trio of properties declared nuisances at the last meeting. He said the property at 1112 Lynnwood is “much improved.” At 1111 Lynnwood, he stated that “work has been done, and is ongoing.” Work is also ongoing at 1017 Steammill as well. Since progress is being made toward remedying the situation, Blaylock said he will continue to monitor the ongoing work at all three locations and report back again to council members.

Blaylock reported the town received two recent nuisance complaints. There are tall weeds growing at 910 Granary Street. The other is at 921 Granary Street where there is a car with expired plates, and a broken down golf cart. Councilman Roger Wade made and Councilman Gary Watson seconded a motion that both properties be declared nuisances and the property owners be served with notice of the action. Councilman David Flanders requested a division of the question, so each property may be voted on individually.

Agreeing to separate the motion, Councilmen Wade made and Watson seconded a motion that 910 Granary Street be de-

Workers unload building equipment Monday morning on the property across the street from New Harmony’s Old Mill Mart Gas Station — the future site of a new Dollar General store. “They’re still working on a state permit. It should be coming soon.

At that time they will apply for a town permit,” said New Harmony Town Council President Alvin Blaylock. “No projected opening date is set at this time. But this will be wonderful for residents of New Harmony and the surrounding areas.” Photo

By Pam Robinson Mount Vernon Nursing and Rehabilitation Center’s Sandy Heidorn stopped mid-stride to give a ride to a wheelchair-bound resident asking to go to her room one morning last week. The new Executive Director of the facility, Heidorn reveals business as usual means placing the residents’ needs first.

“Resident-centered care — what’s best for the resident at all times — is the utmost priority,” she comments about the work ethic at Mount Vernon Nursing and Rehab. “Quality of life is very important to us and a happy environment.”

Her actions support Heidorn’s own personal reasons for working with seniors. “My favorite thing about working with seniors is I connect with them.

most of you know, the IRS does not move real fast.”

“We think the issue will be resolved by the fall. We hired attorneys from Washington D.C. and they think it will end positively for us and we’ll be on the right side of the law, with no problems,” he speculated.

“After it is resolved, we’ll proceed to close our financing, and move to proceed with construction,” he said. Wright now estimates the projected groundbreaking will be in the third or fourth quarter of 2019.

Handpicked by Master automotive and aircraft detailer and trainer Renny Doyle of Detailing Success, also known as the “Detailer of Air Force One,” Jones was one of 65 professional detailers from around the nation to continue their annual cleaning and preservation of the first presidential jet known as Air Force One, on display at the museum.

As a member of the team, Jones polished the paint on the iconic plane, and the allaluminum (bright work) wings of a WWII B29 Super Fortress bomber the team began restoring in 2011. He also polished the neverbefore-polished engines on the first-ever Boeing “Jumbo Jet” 747.

Jones is a successful detailing business owner in Mount Vernon and made the weeklong commitment to the AFO team on a voluntary, pro bono basis.

County fair returning to previous glory

It’s been a week since the Posey County Fair ended but every time I think back about this year’s fair, I’m amazed at the transition from one year to the next. It excites me not only about the fair but about the future of agriculture and 4-H in Posey County.

If you did not attend this year’s fair, you should be ashamed of yourself. But I do understand. Being in my business, I am required to attend a lot of things I’m not particularly crazy about. After suering through some of the fairs of the past few years, I wasn’t looking particularly forward to taking most of my week’s evenings to go to the fairgrounds.

Boy, was I wrong.

In many recent years, a small crowd would gather at least once or twice during the fair under a barn or other protection which Mother Nature wreaked havoc with that evening’s activities. There was none of that this year. Not only were most evenings pleasant, temperatures were tolerable and as the evening wore on, it made for a pleasant place to renew old acquaintances and see many friends you don’t see regularly.

On the weekend before the fair, the royalty pageants were held and Posey County Royalty had a chance to prepare for the week of the fair. I watched as youngsters who had been so quiet and timid in pageants past took the stage with grace, poise and presence. It was a beneďŹ t of their experience participating in fair pageants and shows before. It was an opportunity to have fun, make friends, and learn something.

To me that’s a win-win-win‌ Then on the Saturday just prior to the fair, the motocross races were run and a good crowd was on hand. It was

B D P

A T M

great to see our fairground being used for the things it was intended.

Each night surprised me. I was amazed at the quality of the free rides. The ferris wheel was back along with one of my all-time favorites, the Tilt-a-Whirl. And you had to wait in a reasonable line nearly every time to ride them. It reminded me of fairs in the old days. It was an impressive show of what a forward-thinking group can put together in a relatively short period of time.

All the pageants, from babies through Miss Posey County, were professionally run and timeliness was as important to those running the events as those attending. I have been told that the gate on Tuesday night was a good as it has been on any night in many years.

It was great to see businesses again taking part in the fair, working the gates and helping sponsor the animal shows and the concerts. Yes, local star Kenna Elpers opened for Nashville-based Jameson Rodgers. Don’t be surprised if one or both of these young artists are successful and become regulars on your music list somewhere down the road. And had you been there, you could have said you saw them ďŹ rst at The Posey County Fair.

While I’m not certain whether the number of Posey County 4-H Fair entries were up or down this year, there’s one thing for sure. The quality was up. I was amazed at some of the things I saw as I wandered through the exhibit hall.

Even the Open Class exhibits seemed to take a step in the right direction again this year.

The annual youth tractor pull brought out a variety of youngsters who were willing to try their skills in a pedal-pull tractor made just for them.

And the food‌there’s always the food. Each night in

the Posey County Community Center a delicious meal was served at an aordable price. For most of us, we eat most of our meals out anymore anyhow so why not run down the road to the fairgrounds and get a tasty and nutritious meal and get to have a conversation with your neighbors.

Then there was the mud volleyball. Again, this was a hit at the fair. It’s a chance for rednecks and sophisticated teams to meet and test their skills at playing volleyball in the mud. I don’t see mud volleyball making its way into the Olympics but I did see a large number of young (and not so young) Posey County people enjoying themselves having some good clean ‌ well some good fun.

As the week went on, there were tractor pulls, and demolition derbies. There didn’t seem to be an empty seat anywhere on the night of the demolition derby. The rides even stayed open past the end of the demolition derby so the young ones could enjoy one more time the ride of their choice.

I have been around for a few years now and have watched as the number of workers becomes lower and the number of hours they each must put in grows in order for the Posey County Fair to continue.

There’s a vibrant new young group coming up to take over the reins and make an attempt to bring the fair back to what it was when they were young. I admire their eorts and the advice they have taken from their elders on some of the things that have worked and some of the things that haven’t. But most of all, I admire them for being willing to work hard and to try new things. Their work on this year’s fair did not go unnoticed nor unappreciated. The outcome was obvious. And now, for the ďŹ rst time in a long time, I am looking forward to the 2019 edition of the Posey County Fair.

Food and friendship

Another B B R

county fair has come and gone. This was a good year. The weather cooperated, and there were a variety of wellattended events, concerts, and programs. If you didn’t have a chance to visit this year, be sure to put it on your calendar for next July.

One of the mainstays of the Posey County fair is the home-made meals prepared by the members of the Posey County Extension Homemakers. There are currently seven clubs in Posey County. We are always looking for new members as we work at â€œâ€Śimproving, enlarging and endearing the greatest institution in the world – THE HOME.â€? Everyone has a home, so anyone can become a member, and we’d love to have you join us! (Call me at 812-228-9187 for more information!) You have no idea how much you will learn and how much fun you’ll have as a member!

Meals have been prepared for fair goers for many, many years. In the earliest days, they were actually prepared outdoors. Then the old dining hall was constructed. What an improvement! Electricity, gas stoves, refrigeration, and even air conditioning – we were right uptown!

This facility served us well for many, many years. I remember lines stretching completely around the room and out the door as Posey County fair goers waited to taste the delicious, hot meals prepared by generations of Homemakers.

But, eventually, we outgrew that building. With the construction of the Community Center the Homemakers dream kitchen was a major part of the planning. While some of the appliances were moved – namely the vertical ovens so important to baking those amazing pies, and the 10-burner gas stove – the latest in kitchen appliance was the name of the game in the new building: stainless steel was rampant: refrigerators, a commercial sized freezer, preparation tables, a warming oven, a steam

table, sinks, a hood over the ovens to remove excess steam. What a step up from cooking outside!

The quality of the meals, however, has always been top-notch. Fried chicken, ham loaves, minute steaks, pulled pork for entrees, with mashed potatoes and a variety of vegetables and salads on the side. And, of course, those incredible fruit and cream pies‌ Preparation of these meals is no small feat.

Planning begins weeks – months! – before fair week. Our kitchen supervisors (thanks, Lonna, Linda, and Cheryl!) meet to reďŹ ne menus, take inventory, schedule shopping trips, and line up the volunteers needed to cook, bake, clean, and serve the awesome food.

Three meals, three days‌but it’s so much more than just the food. For many of us, fair week is the only time we see members of some of the other clubs. We laugh, we update our lives, we share ideas, we laugh, we bake, we fry (thanks to the honorary members who fry our chicken – Charlie and Don!), we laugh, we clean, we serve, and, yes, we laugh.

And occasionally share tears over the memories of members lost since the last fair week.

It’s amazing and awe-inspiring at the number of friendships made and revisited on a yearly basis, friendships that are new and renewing each time we meet.

The simple, yet ages-old act of preparing and sharing food draws us together, sharing hopes and dreams, successes and failures, love and laughter, and ultimately with friendships that are truly life-long.

I am truly blessed with many friendships of many years. Friendships I treasure. Friendships that feed my soul. Friendships that, sometimes, I fear I don’t nurture as I should.

But in the true nature of friends, we pick up where we left o, each meeting and conversation cementing the reasons for the friendship. I wish these special friendships to each of you. For these friendships are one of the many things in life that are all that matter.

Write a letter. You’ll feel better.

Letters to the Editor The big deal about high school marching band This article is from a post on my Facebook page. I did not author it, but it hit me as so very sad but true. My son, Tod Hinton, a 1989 MVHS grad was a very devoted and proud member of the MVHS Band and Guard groups.

He served as Drum Major, played the trombone and performed in the Winter Guard under the direction of Mr. Ed Welte.

While attending college at IU Bloomington he continued to work with bands as a guard instructor. After graduation he followed his passion to Indianapolis as Guard Director for several award winning bands at High Schools in that area, including Lawrence Central, Greenwood, Zionsville and Ben Davis, his ďŹ nal employer.

My Tod died suddenly and unexpectedly February 17, 2017 leaving a legacy of honor, respect and inspiration to hundreds of Band and Guard students. That’s why this attached article moved me so much regarding band students and their Director’s dedication and passion for students and for music.

Thank you if you take time to read this: “K. So here’s the big deal about high school marching band. Students spend hours upon hours working to perfect a show for perfor-

mances that will last around eight minutes.

Each performance is a big deal. If someone has a bad twenty-seconds, it can wreak havoc on the entire band. If someone is confused, or not quite sure of the next move, there is no opportunity to call time out and get clariďŹ cation. The band gets seven to eight minutes to showcase what they’ve spent hundreds of hours working on. They don’t get four quarters, two halves, or nine innings just a few minutes. if someone isn’t feeling well, twists their ankle, or gets knocked on their rear, they can’t call a time out and ask for a sub. The show must go on. After the performance is over, not one performer will have their name in the paper, ot get special recognition for their outstanding individual performance. Band is a team activity and not one person is recognized publicly for their outstanding performance that week. Everyone works hard, day in and day out, for the team, the group, knowing that they will not be singled out for special recognition.

All the work is done for the good of the group.

That’s extremely awesome. Hug a band kid, or at least give them a high ďŹ ve after their next performance. GO BAND.â€?

My mother’s three brothers and one of her three sisters served in the army in WWII. Uncle Buck flew close order air support of ground combat soldiers, one of whom could have been Uncle Bill. Uncle Bud never saw a shot fired in anger but went where he was told. Aunt Betty was an army nurse.

My two brothers and I served in the military during the Viet Nam War as did my sister Jane’s husband, Bruce. Bruce was stationed in North Carolina and was not sent to Viet Nam. My eldest brother, C.E., is a fine musician and the army decided it needed his saxophone for the U.S. Army Field Band more than they needed his rifle.

My other brother, Phil, is an excellent attorney whom the army ordered into the Judge Advocate Corps as they thought his legal advice was more important to the war effort than his fighting. And for reasons known only to the U.S. Air Force my country determined my supposed linguistic skills were more vital for gathering Intelligence than was my body for cannon fodder.

One of my numerous first cousins, Billy Mike, survived a year in combat in Viet Nam and my son, Jim, earned a Combat Infantryman’s Badge in the Gulf War of 1990-91 and another in the Iraq War in 2006. He also earned a Bronze Medal for service in each war. My son, my cousin and two of my uncles

dodged enemy fire while my other uncle, my aunt, my brotherin-law, my brothers and I simply went where we were sent.

Twenty-nine of our presidents served in the military before becoming Commander-in-Chief. Some saw combat, some did not. At least two of our recent presidents actively avoided serving themselves but later, as President, sent others into combat.

Abraham Lincoln always dreamed of military action and regret-

ted only serving about one month of non-combat service during the Black Hawk War (May 1832–August 1832). Ironically, he later served as our top non-combat “soldier� during our deadliest war.

circumstances were brought sharply into focus for me last week when some of my siblings (C.E. and his wife Shirley plus my sister Jane along with my wife Peg) and some of my first cousins (Susie, Barbara Joan, Billy Mike and his wife Annette along with their son Ryan) got together in Canada for our first full blown reunion since the Viet Nam War. The hair may now have a lighter hue but absolutely nothing important inside has changed since we threw firecrackers and climbed on the huge sandstone rocks at Osage Hills State Park in Osage County, Oklahoma over half a century ago.

We each almost instantly realized what a debt we owed to our parents and grandparents for all the times they brought us together at Christmas, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, weddings and funerals. The bonds formed in an enchanted childhood not only helped us through these many intervening years although separated by time and space, we found they remain unbreakable even today.

And the strongest bonds were formed by loving relatives who supported those who were strong enough and wise enough to address with action the futility of wars fought for reasons other than national defense or humanitarian necessity.

So, thank you to our ancestors who taught us the value of loving one’s country and one’s family and to those who are keeping the flame burning brightly in spite of time and distance.

JULY 31, 2018 Charles Alles Charles Joseph Alles, 92, was called to heaven on July 29, 2018. Charles was born in his family’s home in Mount Vernon, Indiana on May 1, 1926 to Gladys Marie Basler and Louis Albert Alles, owners of Alles Brothers Furniture in Mount Vernon.

Charlie grew up in his hometown and after graduating from Mount Vernon high School in 1944, enlisted in the Navy where he served his country in the Pacific Theatre, during WW II. Soon after, in 1946 he began working for Alexander Funeral Home in Evansville, Indiana. Realizing that he would make this his career, he attended the Indiana College of Mortuary Science. Upon graduation, in 1948, he became a funeral director at Alexander’s where he comforted families in their time of grief for 67 years. Being able to help these families was an important part of his life.

In 1949, Charlie met his future wife on a blind date arranged by Mary and Leroy Singleton. On August 26, 1950, Charlie married Mary Jacqueline Schmitt at Saint Theresa Catholic Church, where his longtime childhood friend, Father Robert Deig, celebrated the wedding mass. The couple started its family on West Franklin Street before moving to Russell Avenue where they raised three children and made many lifelong neighborhood friends over a period of 60 years.

Charlie and Jackie were members of Sacred Heart Catholic Church (now part of Saint Boniface Parish) for over 65 years and were active in the school and parish. Charlie was a past president of the parish council and school PTA. He took pride in being a crew member of the “heavenly dusters” and helping count Sunday collection contributions as a member of the “A” team with Mel Kneer and Urban Wolf. Charlie and his wife Jackie were nominated to join the Brute’ Society representing all parishioners of Scared Heart.

As past president of the West Side Optimist Club (19571958), Charlie began placing the American flag on the graves of all West Side Optimist Club members each Memorial day. He continued this practice until very recently being the patriot he was and a true Eagle Scout.

Charlie was past president of the Evansville Funeral Directors Association and a longtime board member of Saint Joseph Catholic Cemetery.

He was an original member of the Mater Dei Booster club where he enjoyed working the honor banquets held in the school cafeteria. He also was a former volunteer with the Catholic Education Foundation.

In his leisure, Charlie gardened, danced in the Coterie Club, played tonk and bridge and attended his grandchildren’s school and sporting events.

Until recently, Charlie was the primary caregiver for his wife Jackie. He would always say how proud he was in the way she was dealing with her dementia.

The family wishes to thank all of those persons, who through many acts of kindness, allowed Charlie and Jackie to remain in their home until recently. Since mid-March, the staffs of West River, Midwest Internal Medicine, Deaconess Hospital Units 7500, 4800, and 4600, Urological Associates, and Kindred Hospice were always there to help with our family’s needs and we appreciate their thoughtfulness to all of us.

Charles was preceded in death by his daughter, Mary Jane in 2004; parents, Gladys and Louis A.; brother, Louie, and cousins Mary Frances and Herman Alles of Henderson, Kentucky.

Charles is survived by his wife, Jackie; sons, Charles Jack (Marcia) and Gary James (Kim). He is also survived by grandchildren, Ashley, Charles William, and Greg Alles and several Godchildren.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions be made to the tuition funds of Westside Catholic School or Mater Dei High School.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held 10:30 a.m., Friday August 3, 2018 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 2701 West Franklin Street with burial in Saint Joseph Catholic Cemetery where military rites will be conducted. Friends may visit 2-7 p.m. on Thursday at Alexander West Chapel, 2100 West Illinois Street and Friday 9:30 a.m. until time of service at the church.

CHILDREN & GRIEF

The grief process is full of obstacles. For children, guidance will be crucial to overcoming emotional hurdles. Unlike adults who have family and peers to lean on, children can feel alone with their emotions. It’s important for your child to understand everything they’re feeling is normal and even expected.

With our pastoral counseling, we’ll help you and your child get through this difficult time.

Love of baseball keeps Alexander busy Mad-

B eleine, I C P

sometimes have some guilt about not including your brother, Alexander in this column very often. You two girls are the grandchildren that I spend the most time with. Even when the need arises for Alexander to come over to my house, he gets restless to leave before long. Of course, 10-year-old boys have little in common with old ladies.

However, he has very little patience for any activity that does not pertain to his real passion in life.

Most children have certain things that make up their main interests, hobbies, and so on. Alexander’s involvement in all things pertaining to baseball goes far beyond that. He recently joined his summer team in receiving the second-place trophies for his North Posey league. Although obviously wishing they could have won ďŹ rst place, they should all be proud of how they toiled through blistering hot summer days to achieve what they did.

For several years, doing anything about baseball has dominated Alexander’s time and thoughts. When I used to arrive at his

Alexander parents’ home next door on cold frosty days to take them to school, he was already out hitting balls. I always knew that when I found him inside, he was already up and dressed, watching a previously recorded game.

To be honest, he does, of course, do other activities. Pokemon is also high on his list, as well as swimming and other sports.

I have frequently teased him, asking him to sign baseballs, so that I can sell them when he reaches some major league team.

If one wants to know some speciďŹ c statistic, especially about the St. Louis Cardinals, he will probably have the answer.

His new room is decorated in baseball

items. Many boys have this same consuming interest while they are growing up, of course. However, I hope that Alexander can be involved for as long as possible.

This is a time when both boys and girls can be lured into other things, and if they do not have a central thing to belong to, bad habits can become the way to ďŹ ll a void. Although I don’t believe my grandchildren are in this category, their parents keep them busy. From sometimes working at the Silver Bell to joining workshops and endless practices for sports, they have things to ďŹ ll time. My daughter-in-law, Amy, is always on the road, taking someone to these.

Even when my own children were growing up, we were aware of other kids who did not have this parental support and guidance. Sometimes, of course, work demands can prevent both mothers and fathers from total involvement. I felt terrible that I could not watch my daughter, Heather, cheer at so many of those games 25 years ago.

I hope that I live long enough to see Alexander play baseball in high school, maybe college, and who knows how much further he might go. Despite how he pro-

ceeds, I know that he will be a lifelong fan.

Although I was greatly loved and taken care of, as a child, I spent a lot of time with adults and was not encouraged to do things that I should have participated in.

I was not forced to learn to ride a bike, swim, or many other things. I would most likely have rebelled at a lot of this, but I missed out at these things becoming part of my life.

Issabella came back from vacation bragging about how well she can now swim.

Beyond being proud of her, I was again reminded of how inept I am, and wished my childhood could have been similar.

I make funny remarks about how I was always picked last in childhood sports, but at the time, it was embarrassing.

So, Madeleine, I am endlessly happy that all three of you get out there and do things. Your father is always telling me that my health would improve if I just got out and walked, or did some type of exercise. I know he is correct, but bad habits are hard to break. As I have mentioned so many times, even your grandfather toils at things that are totally unnecessary.

However, pushing ones self like he does is a good thing.

Talley’s Folly: New Harmony Theatre tells tale of mismatched couple

By Lois Mittino Gray “Talley’s Folly,” the final offering of the 2018 New Harmony Theatre season, is a romantic comedy described as “the story of one night in the lives of two unlikely sweethearts, as they once and for all settle their feelings for each other.” As far as I’m concerned, unlikely isn’t a strong enough word for this mismatched couple and farfetched “love” story.

The play highlights one night of conversation between the only two characters in the drama, Matt Friedman and Sally Talley. It takes place in a dilapidated Victorian boathouse on the Talley farm in Lebanon, Mo., on July 4, 1944. Lanford Wilson received the 1980 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for writing this play. It is unique for Wilson in that it takes place in one act, with no intermission, set in ninety-seven minutes of real time.

In fact, the production opens with Matt directly addressing the audience, telling us that the play will take ninety-seven minutes on the nose to complete the tale of the “no holds barred” love story. It ends with him looking at his watch and saying, “Right on the Button.” It seemed longer than that to me, as it was fast-paced, nonstop talking, often in Matt’s “stream of consciousness” prattling to himself.

The “love story” began the previous summer when Matt was on vacation in Lebanon.

He met Sally and they hit it off for a few days. After departing, he wrote Sally a letter every day afterwards. She only answered him once to say “stop writing,” with no hope for romantic encouragement. Nevertheless, the Jewish, Lithuanian-born suitor bravely shows up a year later to ask her to marry him. Sally is in disbelief that he drove all the way from St. Louis, even though he did write her that he planned to come for the holiday. She never read most of his letters. Is this a love affair?

These two are not young, dewy-eyed, crazed lovers. He is a 42-year-old accountant and she is 31-year-old nurse assistant. Matt’s arrival has created quite a stir in Sally’s conservative Protestant household, where a Jewish man is not welcomed easily, especially when his intentions are to court the daughter.

Matt is wary of what he calls this hillbilly locale and this makes for the best line in the play. “When they passed out logic, everybody in the Ozarks went out for a marshmallow roast.”

Sally spends the first half of the play chasing Matt around the boathouse trying to get him to go home. When she ran across the tipsy boat seats after him several times, I hoped she wouldn’t fall.

Finally, they sit down, tired from running, and talk. He tells sad tales of his family and torture during the war and of his sister’s

death. Sally tells of her disappointment with a called-off engagement, when she contracted tuberculosis and became unable to bear children after a pelvic infection.

After his awful family history, Matt vowed never to bring another child into a world that is filled with so much pain. All last winter he lamented over the fact that he was in love with a woman, but could never have children with her. Now this same woman feels undeserving of him because she is barren, but the situation is perfect for him. He believes that an angel has guided his path to her. Sally agrees to marry him and move to the city, and they vow to return to the boathouse every year so they don’t ever forget the place where they fell in love. Whew, what a whirlwind romance!

The affable Matt is acted by Drew Hirshfield and Sally Talley is portrayed by Jenny Piersol. Both are thrilled to be making their debuts with the New Harmony Theatre. The pair did a terrific job in the roles, carrying the entire production.

“Talley’s Folly” is directed by Eric Altheide. The Stage Managers are Margaret Kayes and Erin Joy Swank. Paul Weimer, the scenic designer, created an impressive boathouse, complete with lattice and louvres, rocks, water and willows. Maya Michele Fein, the lighting designer, created the look

of twilight and moonlight on the water, plus shades of green and blue.

Kevin Gray, the sound designer, set the mood with 1940’s music, frogs calling along the river and a baying dog. Shan Jensen, the costume designer, needed only a blue and white dress for Sally and a beige suit and tie for Matt.

The play runs one hour and thirty minutes with no intermission. Just a reminder that the Murphy Auditorium is always very cool and you might want to bring a jacket or wrap.

This production was underwritten by New Harmony’s own Kent L. and Laurie A. Parker and Betty Worthington.

Bella Golden film to premiere in NH “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.

‘History’ continued from Page A1 historic aircraft. A couple of years ago, he flew out to Orange County, Calif.,where he helped a team of detailers clean a WWII B-24 Liberator “Witchcraft” Heavy Bomber at the John Wayne Airport.

Renny Doyle has spent 15 years restoring the historic presidential jet to its original glory. The plane was a flying Oval Office for Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon. It was in distressed condition when he was first approached by the Bush administration in 2003 to put his skills to work to save it. It took over a decade to fully restore the brilliance of the paint and clarity of the bright work.

Until 2016, the plane lived outdoors on the tarmac, exposed to the elements, requiring a robust annual cleaning, polishing, and protection for its paint and aluminum. Today it lives in an open-air hangar on display at the museum’s new Airpark Pavilion.

“I had a great time, but it was dirty, grueling work,” says Jones. “I am honored to have been chosen for a spot on the team this year and I look forward to doing it again if I am fortunate enough to be chosen next year. It is a great feeling to be a part of preserving history.”

For more information about Tim Jones’ selection and prestigious work with the 2018 Air Force One Detailing Team at the Seattle Museum of Flight, contact him at (812) 459-4310.

‘Town council’ continued from Page A1 clared a nuisance. All were in favor, except Flanders, so the motion carried. Watson made and Wade seconded a motion that 921 Granary Street be declared a nuisance. This time, all were in favor and the motion carried.

Chris Laughbaum asked about the status of 629 South Street, an older nuisance property. Blaylock reported this was purchased by David and Carlene VanLaningham, but they are not allowed to access the property until September.

Ann Angle, 700 Brewery Street, asked that the storm sewer near her property be checked.

In other council action: • Blaylock reported the town is still waiting on the two appraisals needed for the former school property.

• New Harmony resident Dan Barton asked how many acres of the former school property are being farmed, and by whom. Blaylock answered that approximately eight to nine acres are being farmed by Wiley Brothers Farms.

Payment will be made to the town in the fall, at a rate of approximately $140 per acre.

• Kathy Sale is recommending an update of the town website at a cost of $1000. Flanders made and Wade seconded a motion that the town website be updated at the cited cost. It passed with conditions: the site will be made mobile friendly, and that, in the future, more information be provided as to what the upgrade entails.

• Blaylock reported the GIS mapping is ongoing, but not yet complete.

• The festival application for Kunstfest on September 15-16, 2018 was approved.

• Wade reported trees have been sprayed along the trail near the riverbank. He explained this is just a part of regular maintenance. Two trees at Murphy Park will need to be removed, along with three that need trimmed. There are also two street trees that need trimmed, and Blaylock said he is getting quotes on all this work.

• New Harmony State Historic Site Collections Manager Amanda Bryden thanked the council for passing the resolution designating July 2 as Say’s Firefly Day. She was thrilled that approximately 400 to 500 people attended the evening of festivities planned for the celebration. Blaylock thanked Amanda and her staff for all their work on the firefly celebration, as well as the countless other volunteers who helped make the night a success. Blaylock also thanked all those involved in making the July 4 celebration so successful, and thanked the local Boy Scouts for their assistance in cleaning up some downed trees at Maple Hill Cemetery.

• Blaylock announced that street paving on this year’s grant money is 60 percent complete. He and Wade attended a meeting concerning the 2019 Community Crossings Matching Grant. A list of streets in need of paving is being made now for it. The Council is looking at possibly paving the Murphy Park

‘Director’ continued from Page A1 High School to attend the University of Southern Indiana, receiving a certificate in dental assisting, her occupation for nine years, and earning her bachelor’s degree in health services with a minor in nutrition. From there, she completed her master’s in health administration at the University of Evansville.

She started with American Senior Communities, the company overseeing Mount Vernon Nursing and Rehab, in 2014 as the Director of Admissions and Marketing at North Park Nursing Center in Evansville. She completed her internship with the company at Columbia Healthcare Center, also in Evansville, before serving there as Assistant Administrator. This past December, she received her administrator’s license,

preparing her to step into the leadership position at Mount Vernon Nursing and Rehab the second week in May. The daughter of Dave and Nancy Jessie stays busy in her “spare” time with her two daughters, ages 6 and 7.

She serves also on the board to arrange and promote the annual Evansville Philharmonic Gala.

Heidorn appreciates the transition to Mount Vernon Nursing and Rehab. “I love the smaller environment,” she says. “I like I get to know every resident. I like I get to know their families.

The staff is more a close-knit family. It’s nice when you get to know everyone.”

She looks forward to celebrating the holidays and special occasions with the residents and the community — for example, the

upcoming Back-to-School Backpack Giveaway and the Halloween Bash. Heidorn welcomes community members to call (812) 838-6554 and schedule a tour of Mount Vernon Nursing and Rehab or to just drop by for a quick meet and greet during typical business hours, Monday through Friday.

“I like being back in Posey

County,” she states. “It feels like home.”

Mount Vernon Nursing and Rehab offers skilled nursing and long-term care in its 66-bed facility, complete with a memory-care unit, located at 1415 Country Club Road. In addition, short-term respite and hospice care are provided as well as outpatient rehabilitation services.

circle as part of the grant.

• Upon question from Flanders, Blaylock reported he called George Bowman, with Indiana Department of Natural Resources, several times, with no response. He now learned Bowman is out of the office until July 23. He will continue efforts to reach him.

• Flanders questioned Blaylock on when Council had made the decision to not repair the HVAC system at the former school building. The President said if someone on council would like to make a motion at this time as to what to do with the HVAC system, he will entertain it. Blaylock noted the HVAC did not run the summer of 2017, and has not since then.

‘Fertilizer plant’ continued from Page A1 made will change. Midwest Fertilizer Company’s facility will produce Ammonia, Urea, Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) and Diesel Exhaust Fluid The fertilizer plant is expected to generate more than 2,500 construction jobs over a three to four year period and approximately 200 permanent employment opportunities afterwards.

It should have a major economic impact on Posey County and its neighbors.

“The audit definitely held things up and put things in a holding pattern,” said Roger C. Har-

vey, Principal with the Bose Public Affairs PR firm in Indianapolis. Midwest’s office is in Indianapolis on West Ohio and Illinois Streets, near the Old National Bank.

In concluding the interview, President Wright added, “I would like to say we are truly appreciative of the unwavering support of the Governor, the Indiana Department of Commerce, Congressmen Buschon and Young and all the county officials who acted in unison to support this project.”

TAKE A LOOK, WE’RE JUST MINUTES AWAY!

Sebree finds fulfillment in help wherever help is needed

By Pam Robinson On an unseasonably mild July morning, Mount Vernon native Thelma Sebree waited on a wrought-iron bench for the Alexandrian Public Library to open and talked to pass the time. It wasn’t small talk.

“I believe you put God first. Whatever happens then, happens,” she says and a little later explains. “He’s going to work it out. You don’t do it on your own. He’ll work it out. I don’t see how people make it without him.”

She adds, “He still works it out for me. I wouldn’t be working at the age of 82 if it wasn’t for him.”

Sebree will tell you she’s worked all her life. Born and raised on East Third Street in Mount Vernon, she was one of seven children (four girls and three boys) to bless her parents, Shirl and Mary Katherine Lee. The Lees taught their children a strong work ethic and to value education.

For grades 1-8, Sebree attended Booker T. Washington School in Mount Vernon before transferring to Mount Vernon High School, or MVHS, for grades 9-12. The 1955 MVHS graduate mostly hides her thoughts in her heart about those days of segregation.

“A lot of the African American kids went to Evansville to high school instead of going to Mount Vernon,” she comments. “I can’t remember being treated any different at Mount Vernon High School than I would have been anywhere else.”

The MSD of Mount Vernon has proven Sebree’s most faithful employer. In 1976, she signed on as a food service substitute at MVHS. She enrolled in night classes at the old North High School in Evansville to learn about food service requirements, especially safe food handling and preparation.

Soon afterward, she recalls, the Business Manager then, Mr. J.O. Baxter, approached her about becoming the Manager of Food Service at Hedges Elementary School.

Several months later, Baxter talked with Sebree about becoming the Supervisor of Food Service for the entire school district when a retirement opened the position overseeing the four elementary schools as well as MVJHS and MVHS. She remained in that position until her own retirement in May 2015.

“I’m a person who never says no, and I enjoyed every minute of it,” she says. “Every job has good points and bad points, but it’s how you take them. It’s up to you to make it.”

By the time school started again in the fall of 2015, Sebree had returned to work for the MSD of Mount Vernon, this time as a special needs bus aide. She has worked in this part-time position ever since.

“I have worked all my life and as long as I’m able, I will continue to work,” she states.

Thelma Sebree, sitting outside the Alexandrian Public Library, keeps God in heart and the compass of her life.

Photo by Pam Robinson

The Golden Years What’s more, Sebree works outside her place of employment as a volunteer for several organizations. She helps at Mount Vernon’s Riverbend Food Pantry on Friday mornings, assists families in the Mount Vernon Homeless Shelter, and serves in the Neighbor to Neighbor program. In addition, she is an active member of Harvestime Temple in Mount Vernon and does her share in preparing church dinners. Somehow, she finds time also for Wednesday Bible study at Harvestime.

“If there’s a need, I like to be part of it,” she comments. “I like to help people if I can. I most enjoy helping people.”

Sebree’s work life has been balanced with a vibrant family

life. On December 12, 1963, she married Robert Sebree from Hopkinsville, Ky., and they were married 51 years before his passing on January 11, 2015. The two met on a blind date when Robert worked in Evansville.

They cared for four children together: two daughters and two sons. Those children all live in the area except the oldest daughter residing in Pennsylvania. Another daughter owns and operates Essence of You with Healing Hands Spa in Mount Vernon. The two sons live in Evansville. Sebree enjoys time with her three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren in the area.

“I keep busy,” she admits.

She has helped friends, family, and even strangers in her life’s work and trusted in God for guidance to do it. Thelma Sebree stays about her Father’s business.

Local honor student nominated for Congress of Future Medical Leaders Special to The News Delayne Henderson, a junior at Mount Vernon Senior High School will be a Delegate to the Congress of Future Medical Leaders in Lowell, Ma., on June 25-27, 2018.

The Congress is an honors-only program for high school students who want to become physicians or go into medical research fields. The purpose of this event is to honor, inspire, motivate and direct the top students in the country who aspire to be physicians or medical scientists, to stay true to their dream and after the event, to provide a path, plan and resources to help them reach their goal.

Delayne Henderson was nominated by Dr. Mario Capecchi, winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine and the Science Director of the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists to represent Indiana based on her academic achievement, leadership potential and determination to serve humanity in the field of medicine.

During the three-day Congress, Delayne Henderson will join students from across the country and hear Nobel Laureates and National Medal of Science Winners talk about leading medical research; be given advice from Ivy League and top medical school deans on what to expect in medical school; witness stories told by patients who are living medical miracles; be inspired by fellow teen medical science prodigies; and learn about cutting-edge advances and the future in medicine and medical technology.

“This is a crucial time in America when we need more doctors and medical sci-

entists who are even better prepared for a future that is changing exponentially,” said Richard Rossi, Executive Director, National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists. “Focused, bright and determined students like Delayne Henderson are our future and she deserves all the mentoring and guidance we can give her.

The Academy offers free services and programs to students who want to be physicians or go into medical science. Some of the services and programs the Academy offers are online social networks through which future doctors and medical scientists can communicate; opportunities for students to be guided and mentored by physicians and medical students; and communications for parents and students on college acceptance and finances, skills acquisition, internships, career guidance and much more.

The National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists was founded on the belief that we must identify prospective medical talent at the earliest possible age and help those students acquire the necessary experience and skills to take them to the doorstep of this vital career. Based in Washington, D.C. and with offices in Boston, Mass., the Academy was chartered as a nonpartisan, taxpaying institution to help address this crisis by working to identify, encourage and mentor students who wish to devote their lives to the service of humanity as physicians, medical scientists.

NATIONAL HONOR The National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS) announced student De-

Delayne Henderson, a junior at Mount Vernon Senior High School, was recongnized in two fashions recently. The first as a Delegate to the Congress of Future Medical Leaders and the second for achievement by The National Society of High School Scholars. Photo submitted layne E. Henderson has been selected to become a member of the esteemed organization. The Society recognizes top scholars who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, scholarship and community commitment. The announcement was made by NSHSS Founder and Chairman Claes Nobel, senior member of the family that established the Nobel Prizes.

“On behalf of NSHSS, I am honored to recognize the hard work, sacrifice and commitment that Delayne has demonstrated to achieve this exceptional level of academic

excellence,” said Nobel. “Delayne is now a member of a unique community of scholars - a community that represents our very best hope for the future.”

“We are proud to provide lifetime membership to young scholars to support their growth and development,” stated NSHSS President James W. Lewis. “We aim to help students like Delayne build on their academic success by connecting them with unique learning experiences and resources to help prepare them for college and meaningful careers.” NSHSS members automatically become lifetime members at the time of their initial membership.

At each step along the way - from high school to college to career- NSHSS connects outstanding young scholars with the resources they need to develop their strengths and pursue their passions.

Formed in 2002 by James W. Lewis and Claes Nobel, senior member of the family that established the Nobel Prizes, The National Society of High School Scholars recognizes academic excellence at the high school level and helps to advance the goals and aspirations of high-achieving millennials through unique learning experiences, scholarships, internships, international study and peer networks. Currently there are more than 1,000,000 Society members in 160 countries. To help us further efforts that provide students with continued opportunity, please acknowledge NSHSS in any press release mentions by providing a resource link to www.nshss.org.
