Wind turbine talk resurfaces By Lois Mittino Gray New discussion on the county wind turbine ordinance was blowing around the Hovey House again at the August 4, meeting of the Posey County Commissioners. The topic resurfaced with a letter written to the commissioners, dated July 24, by Erin Bauer, an attorney hired to represent a community interest group called PoCo Wind. The group has publicly expressed concerns about the safety of the wind turbine project proposed by RWE Renewables (formerly E.ON) in Posey and Gibson Counties. Of prime interest is a tall turbine’s effect on the reliability of the NexRad Doppler Radar, located in Owensville, to monitor storm events in our region of ‘Tornado Alley.’ Bauer attended the meeting to address the Commissioners and update them on a national report publicly released since the commissioners passed the wind ordinance several months ago. A copy was sent to the commissioners of the “Joint Study on the Impact of Wind Farms on Weather Radars and Military Opera-

tion”, submitted to congressional committees by the United States Air Force, in October of 2019. After analysis of radar events and weather miscalls, the report defines four zones of wind turbine build locations. A “No Build Zone” (never acceptable), a “Mitigation Zone” (high impact zone), a “Consultation Zone” (moderate impact zone) and a “Notification Zone” are described in it. At issue is the wording in the present county ordinance, which stipulates no erecting of wind turbines in the “No Build” zone. Bauer said PoCo Wind is requesting that the Commissioners amend the ordinance to also stipulate not erecting them in the “Mitigation Zone” and the “Consultation Zone” as both zones were shown to impact the effectiveness of the NexRad Radar. Citing examples from the report, she described one from 2018 in Illinois where the ‘ghost echoes’ from the blades left the radar inactive for 15 minutes. “Fif-

Posey woman dies in plant mishap Special to the News The female victim of the accident that occurred at the Green Plains Plant on Friday, has been identified as 53-year-old Kimberly Stroud of Eastern Posey County. An Autopsy was performed on Saturday morning, August 8, 2020, at the Posey County Coroner’s Office. Preliminary results are pending at this time, however, Posey County Coroner Bill Denning indicated that the manner of death is accidental. The plant is located at 8999 West Franklin Road in rural Mount Vernon. The plant sits on 273 acres. The plant employs 52 people. Green Plains was formed in June

2004 to construct and operate dry mill, fuel-grade ethanol production plants. Ethanol is a renewable, environmentally clean fuel source that is produced at numerous facilities in the United States, mostly in the Midwest. In the U.S., ethanol is produced primarily from corn and then blended with unleaded gasoline in varying percentages. The ethanol industry in the U.S. has grown significantly over the last few years as its use reduces harmful auto emissions, enhances octane ratings of the gasoline with which it Using the Posey County Court House as a backdrop, Mount is blended, offers consumers a costeffective choice, and decreases the Vernon resident James See exercises his rights to free speech on

New testing site to open By Lois Mittino Gray The Posey County Health Department has finally found a location for its new COVID-19 testing site in Mount Vernon. Posey County Health Nurse Martye Fitts announced at the last County Commissioners meeting that the testing site will be on the parking lot of the old city water building at 232 West Second Street, across the street from Half Moon Saloon. Although not sure about the exact opening date, Fitts speculated it should be open by early September. The site will operate five days a week for ten months, thanks to a grant made possible by the Indiana Department of Health. The County Health Department will be partnering with Deaconess Clinic to offer the testing. Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Donnie Martin said the county received a $100,000 grant to set up the testing site. The amount

given to a county is based on population and Posey qualified for the $100,000 amount in the 1-69,990 resident category. Counties with high populations were eligible for $200,000. Martin read through a list of supplies coming to the county through the grant, including the tents used on the parking lot. There are coolers, printers, labelmakers, clipboards, two I-Pads, 1,040 gallons of sanitizer, and 1,040 each of face shields, gowns and gloves. There are 52,000 surgical masks on the supply materials list. Persons wishing to be tested are encouraged to make an appointment for testing through Deaconess, but drive-ups will be accepted, too. Persons do not need to be symptomatic to be eligible for testing. For example, Mount Vernon just recently mandated that all of

Weinermobile stumps for dogs

Posey County Humane Society benefits from Oscar Mayer weinermobile visit By Lois Mittino Gray “You guys wanna’ be a hot dog?” Tommy Salami asks, as a group of children excitedly arrive to see the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile parked in front of the Posey County Humane Society Building in Mount Vernon. Tommy is holding a huge cut-out of a hot dog that kids can look through to have a photo taken. “Say Cheesiewienie,” he says, as the children smile. The eye-popping orange and yellow vehicle was at the Humane Society on Tuesday, August 4 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Visitors received a replica wiener whistle, peeked inside,

and looked at outdoor displays. One even measured how many hot dogs high they are next to a height ruler. Tommy Salami, aka Tommy Dieken, is an official Oscar Mayer ambassador, along with his sidekick, All-American Ashley Ferrara. The duo, both 22 years old, visited the Evansville area for a week taking the Wienermobile to sites all around the Tri-State, helping to raise money for the places they visit. The PCHS twohour visit on Tuesday was the only scheduled Posey County stop. This week was just the first stint as ambassadors for the touring team as they start out on a full year working together. They met three weeks ago when they attended ‘Hot Dog High’ training in Madison ,Wisconsin, the company’s headquarters. For two weeks, the newbies learned how to meet the public and represent the company. They were also trained by members of the Madison County Police Department on how to drive the unusual vehicle. “It’s so easy to drive really. It makes great turns,” Tommy gushed. “We’re so lucky nothing has gone wrong with her this first week,”

CountryMark helps cover mask costs for local students CountryMark is helping to cover the costs of face masks for students attending school in the Metropolitan School District of North Posey County and the Metropolitan School District of Mount Vernon Indiana for the 2020-2021 school year. The donation comes after Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb announced a statewide mask mandate to help curb the rise in coronavirus cases. “Keeping students safe is a community effort,” said

CountryMark President and CEO Matt Smorch. “We hope this donation will help the efforts to allow students to return to school safely.” CountryMark’s donation will cover costs for $10,000 worth of face masks for the local school districts. “We are purchasing thousands of masks,” Dr. Todd Camp, Superintendent of the MSD of North Posey said. “We’re in the process of purchasing over 5,000 masks for our students and staff.”

The mask mandate requires anyone eight years of age and older to wear a mask in any indoor or outdoor space where social distancing is not possible. CountryMark’s donation will help alleviate costs faced by the school districts to provide face masks. “During this time of economic uncertainty we really appreciate the donation of $5,000 to go towards the purchase of face masks for our students,” Dr. Matt Thompson, the Superintendent for the MSD of Mount Vernon said. Posey County, Indiana is home to the CountryMark refinery, as well as many CountryMark employees

and their families. Supporting the community where employees live and work is an integral value to CountryMark. CountryMark is pleased to announce a $10,000 donation to the North Posey County and Mount Vernon, Indiana school districts to help cover the cost of face masks for students returning to school.

On August 3, agencies were sent to an unconscious female that was not breathing. Officer Rueger was the first person on scene, with Officer Woodley arriving shortly after. The two initiated CPR and administered Naloxone, a medicine for reversing narcotic overdoses. Officers continued life saving measures by assisting with ventilations and CPR prior to EMS arrival. The female regained consciousness before being transported to the Emergency Room via ambulance. Without the lifesaving efforts from the two Officers, the outcome would likely have been different. Chief Alldredge remarked, “That night, Officer Rueger and Officer Woodley exemplified community service. These are the kinds of selfless acts that make our entire department proud.” A letter of commendation stays in an Officer’s official record, and they are awarded a pin to signify their achievement.

School Memories

D M B C P Madeleine, even with the extended â&#x20AC;&#x153;vacationâ&#x20AC;? because of the virus, it seems like time for school got here in a big hurry. Like many other parents, I can only hope and pray that none of you end up with the dreaded sickness. This year has been so upsetting and different. There is no point in even discussing the many facets of the virus; it has been talked about in depth. I decided it would be less disturbing to go back and bring up all the past memories of returning to school. Of course, it was pretty simple in my time. Everyone bought a few new clothes and some supplies. I just asked you yesterday, Madeleine, if the original compass is still the one of choice. Some things have a design that really cannot be improved on. You mentioned taking geometry. I always like that. I have also told of the children who only got a few new items of clothing for the entire school year, and wore woolen sweaters on 90 degree days in September. Shoes were also purchased at the

beginning of the year and had to be painfully broken in. I hated those ugly â&#x20AC;&#x153;saddle oxfordsâ&#x20AC;? that everyone opted for. I never owned a pair. Penny loafers seemed like a much better choice. Everyone searched for new, bright shiny pennies to put in theirs. I was always thrilled to get that wonderful new box of crayons, and it was hard to me to keep them new. One of the other staples was a little jar of school paste. I was absolutely horrified when I saw other kids eating it. The sheet of paper that was given out, listing needed supplies, always specified that we needed two Number 2 pencils. I was always wondering why Number one pencils were even made; perhaps for drawing. This was, of course, when only wooden rulers were made; no plastic. They had a little inserted strip of metal, to make a good straight line. I suppose that mothers were in charge of sewing an â&#x20AC;&#x153;art bagâ&#x20AC;? out of heavy cloth, which held all our supplies and hung beside the desk. The most exciting part, at least for me, was being issued our new books and workbooks. They had a wonderful smell. I got in trouble numerous

times for filling out the blanks of the workbook, way in advance. Many girls got a new â&#x20AC;&#x153;permâ&#x20AC;? for school, which made morning grooming a big easier. I had short legs, which made getting on and off the big yellow bus a little harder. Kids

A monthly column from the Executive Director of the Charles Ford Retirement Communities of New Harmony A typical day We asked Amy Koch, executive director of the Charles Ford Retirement Communities of New Harmony, to describe a typical day in the life of a community resident. She answered with a ďŹ rst-person perspective from someone who has spent several years there. A day in the life â&#x20AC;Ś This morning I likely would have been awakened by the birds singing in the magnolia tree outside my large bay window. I love magnolia trees. It reminds me of the beautiful magnolia garland I used to adorn my porches with in my old farmhouse. I would have then enjoyed perusing the headlines of my newspaper delivered outside my door while I slowing come to life over a cup of coďŹ&#x20AC;ee in my apartment. Energized by adequate caďŹ&#x20AC;eine, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d slip out of my comfy robe and house shoes, get dressed to face the day and make my way to the spacious sunlit dining room. I love the original full windows in this historic structure. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reminiscent of a time and place where life was simpler and people smile more often. I would have enjoyed a hearty breakfast cooked to order and served by a friendly, familiar staďŹ&#x20AC; who know how I like my coďŹ&#x20AC;ee without having to ask (yes, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a two-cup-a-day person). For me, breakfast might have consisted of eggs sunny side up, crisp bacon, oatmeal with raisons, cinnamon and brown sugar and a pat of butter (just like my mother made it), along with fresh fruit or maybe juice. Following breakfast, I likely would have acted on my urge to stretch my legs strolling through the thriving gardens. If I was so inclined, I might opt for a more rigorous walking program, or Physical Therapy session or Life Enrichment

Exercise Class. Today I would have had an opportunity to visit with my personal physician during a Telehealth appointment. My room is furnished an iPad used exclusively by me. The same friendly staďŹ&#x20AC; that serves my coďŹ&#x20AC;ee helps me navigate technology, if I need it. (After all, Facebook helps me keep up with the lives of my grands and great grands. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re growing up so fast.) The funny thing about these new fandangle contraptions is they can help me watch my favorite TV shows, play my favorite games, watch the weather, and talk to my kids face to face. I love to eat, especially on a day like today when the daily special includes generous portions of homemade lasagna and Caesar salad. On a side note, I REALLY love that somebody else does the cooking and cleans up the dishes. On other days I might make my selections from the cafĂŠ menu. Did I mention dessert? We have dessert twice a day every day and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not talking about Jell-o (we all know thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a salad/ side item anyway). Today was black forest cake with cherries and whipped topping; no wonder everyone gains weight when they move in here. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my hair and nail day. We have an onsite salon service. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to drive anywhere or arrange for a ride. That gal is great too! She knows exactly how I like my hair set and she even remembers my favorite nail color. Did I mention the porches around this place? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like something from the deep south with porch swings, Boston ferns and ceiling fans. Today (even during a world pandemic), I enjoyed visiting with my sons on the porch.

Juror: Ben Nicholson was educated at the Architectural Association in London, Cooper Union School of Architecture, and Cranbrook Academy of Art, he is currently Professor at SAIC, Chicago, retiring in 2021. He lives and works from his base in New Harmony, Indiana. Sometimes known as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;performative architectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with polymathic interests that engage art, design, scholarship and popular culture, with subjects range from primitive geometry, labyrinths, Michelangelo, guns and political satire. Jurorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Statement: The 2020 Exhibition has thirty-nine participants from all over Indiana, or who have been Hoosiers for a year. They have submitted paintings following different traditions, sometimes combining them, including en plein air, European Abstract, American Pop, Southwestern and Art Brut amongst others. Some artists are full-time and/or teach, others are just starting out. All paint for the sheer joy of it. In judging, each artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trajectory is respected. Always keep in mind that the great French En plein air painters, such as Van Gogh and Cezanne, were rejected from the 1863 Paris Salon as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bad artâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, so they set up their own exhibition called the Salon de RefusĂŠs. Thus, if an artist has not won a prize here, they too may be the next big thing! There are four categories of prizes awarded, Best of Show, 1st, 2nd & 3rd, Merit and Honorable. Judging takes this into account, and acknowledges all the ways of artmaking, either by

a highly accomplished painter or someone just starting out. The Best of Show is Mexican Blanket, a passionate yet discrete composition, of a woman sitting on a favorite blanket out in the sunshine. It is a classic Hoosier moment we know so well. It is painted vigorously with lots of texture, yet includes the smooth glassy filter of the sunglasses. First Place goes to Sight Unseen, an everchanging stormy cloudscape, that might be mistaken for an abstract painting. Second Place is Cobwebs and Dew Drops, a mysterious composition of articulate and recognizable objects, that all seem to melt away when considered closely. Third Place is Prairie Far Away, that celebrates the majesty of spring flower-scapes in a meadow, by a river. It is a sanctuary of beauty where the painter reveals the simple pleasure of sitting outside on a warm spring day. The Merit Awards, in no particular order, include Lost My Marbles, a collection-of-collections of lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memorabilia, that deftly sums up the Boomers â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Stuff Ageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Colorful Souls reminds us of the inclusiveness of the New Generation of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Immigrants, perhaps a market scene from the Horn of Africa or backyards in a Midwest city. Summer Sun is an impeccably crafted map-scape, that you look through rather than at. Honorable Mentions include Spring, Butter Flower, a crepuscular landscape evoking the moment of reflection that comes with peering into Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sultry river bottoms. Pantry Peaches is a tiny painting that exudes the big spirit of canning fruit, where peach fuzz meets the shiny glass of a Mason jar. The Atheneum shows the realism of New Harmonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s white building in abstract opalescent light. Day at the Beach is hauntingly simple, where we look through blades of grass at faraway children and the lake beyond.

Her hair was pulled back in a bun and she never smiled. I was sick a lot with massive allergies, and this person went and threatened my poor mother with jail if she continued to keep me home. Ironically, I had already finished my schoolwork far ahead of the others. Writing this made me remember Lloyd Hutchinson, our principal and one of the nicest men I have ever met. He passed this year. Roy Calvert was the janitor and a sweet old man. I can still envision him with his big push broom, going up and down the oiled wooden floors. Many days, my grandparents came and picked up some of us for lunch. We went the 5 blocks up to the Annasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; CafĂŠ and ordered burgers and fries.

National and Local News 100 Years Ago

J K News From The Western Star, August 11, 1920 - Mount Vernon

Special Note: News in this issue include: a gigantic picnic for farmers and their families, liquor violations continue, Gov. J. Cox and F. D. Roosevelt visits coming, P. Hagemann recovers his stolen car, and many news briefs and personals. Worries Of Farm Are Forgotten For A Day - August 12, 1920 - Truly the worries of the Posey County farmer were laid aside Tuesday when the ďŹ rst annual picnic of the Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Assoc. was held at the fairgrounds in New Harmony. Three thousand people were gathered on the Posey County Agriculture Fair Association grounds. At 12 noon families, neighbors, and friends sat together and enjoyed a real picnic dinner. Eats - There were enough eats on the grounds to supply again as many people as were present. It was a special privilege of many to have enjoyed a real old fashioned Posey County cooked meal. At the completion of the speakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s address (which was interrupted again and again by applause), the large crowd mingled and visited for an hour or more and then a tired, but happy crowd went their ways to their homes. County Agent Shrode and Dr. Hasting and Lowell Stallings, of the County Association assisted Pres. E. E. Templeton and Carl Mann to make the picnic a grand success.

The pair then marched for a mile in the boiling hot sun at the head of a parade. Recovers Stolen Auto - Phil Hagemann and family motored to Evansville Thursday afternoon to attend the Barnesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Circus and parked their car within a block of the show grounds, and when ready to return home, found their auto missing. The police were notiďŹ ed and on the following morning Mr. Hagemann was informed they had found the car not a great distance from where he had parked it. The car was uninjured, and it is supposed it had simply been taken by some boys who had wanted to â&#x20AC;&#x153;joy-rideâ&#x20AC;? for several hours. Has Legs Severely Cut - Otto Heath, who

conducts a blacksmith shop in Farmersville, on Thursday afternoon while sharpening a plow disk on an emory wheel, the disc was jerked from his hand and ďŹ&#x201A;ying back stuck in his left leg, penetrating to the bone and inďŹ&#x201A;icting a wound about nine inches in length.

In the hurry and bustle particular to females, the young lady forgot to put on her dress, a fact she did not discover until about three miles from home, where she had occasion to enter the home of a lady friend who called her attention to the fact. Her friend kindly loaned her a dress rejoicing, wondering if anyone else had seen her in this odd attire.

Engagement

Anniversary

‘Weinermobile’ continued from Page A1 Chicago, while Ashley is from Philadelphia. The pair will travel about 500 miles in a week’s visit, staying in a local hotel and buying groceries or testing the fare in recommended restaurants. “We’re going to try this Hawg-N-Sauce behind here for lunch today,” Tommy pointed out. The duo will be going to Lexington and Knoxville and Myrtle Beach as its next three week-long stops. The criteria to become an ambassador requires all applicants to be recent graduates of a college or university. Tommy attended the University of Southern California and Ashley was just graduated from Penn State. Both are Communications and Marketing majors. Both looked fresh and enthusiastic in their red hot dog polo shirts and khaki shorts. “We also have embellished flight suits for formal occasions,” Ashley remarked. Due to COVID-19 precautions, CDC guidelines are in effect and visitors could not actually enter the vehicle, but they could peek inside the open gull wing door and stand on the retractable step. There is a hot dog shaped dashboard, with a ketchup walkway complete with condiment splattered carpet, and six mustard and ketchup colored, hot dog appliqued seats. There is a blue sky ceiling, a removable ‘bunroof’ and a smiling front grill. The vehicle is described as a “grilled fiberglass hot dog resting on a lightly toasted fiberglass bun.” It is a 2012 model on a forward cab box chassis with a 300 VORTEC V-8 engine, 6.0 liter and runs on ‘high

octane mustard ‘ according to the display. It has a six-speed automatic transmission. Inside is a CD player, Bluetooth, GPS navigation system, microphone and karaoke for the cross country trips and trivia contests. A sound system plays the first verse of the jingle. The Wienermobile is 11 foot in height (24 hot dogs tall); 27 foot in length (60 hot dogs long); and 8 foot in width (18 hot dogs wide). It weighs 14,050 pounds and that’s the same as 140,500 hot dogs. The original Oscar Meyer Wienermobile is on display in the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. It was a Ford model, circa 1936. It was designed by Carl Mayer, nephew of Oscar Meyer. The Wiener Whistle was developed in 1952 to be included in packages of the eponymous wieners. Who gets to wash the vehicle? “Both of us do,” they chimed in together. Ashley recounted that the Ohio Township Volunteer Fire Department gave the Wienermobile a bath the other day. “They had fun washing her and took a lot of pictures,” she laughed. The ambassadors were having a blast with the visitors. They took pictures holding various dogs up for adoption, especially adorable Koda, a two month old pit bull-lab mix. “What other job do you get to drive cross country like this? Every day is different and I couldn’t ask for a better partner,” Tommy Salami said, casting a playful look over at his new friend, Ashley. They’ll make a great team. By the way, in case you wondered, I’m nine hot dogs tall.

Russell Huntsman and Lacey Robison Lacey Jo Robison and Russell Wade Huntsman, both of New Harmony, are excited to announce their engagement. Lacey is the daughter of Gene Robison of New Harmony and Carolyn Wagner of Evansville. Russell is the son of Dianne Kite of Evansville and Ronald Huntsman of Evansville. The ceremony will take place Saturday October 17, 2020 with a reception to follow at the Griﬃn Ruritan. Formal invitation are being sent.

Anniversary

Marsha and Jerry King

Elizabeth and John Hall John and Elizabeth (Blakley) Hall are celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary, married August 15, 1970 at Saint Agnes Church in Evansville Ind. Their first two years of marriage were spent in England where John was stationed at Lakenheath Air Force Base. This seemed like an extended honeymoon for the couple, affording them the opportunity to live and travel throughout Great Britain and Europe. Upon returning to the United States in the mid 70’s, Mount Vernon became home. John finished his education at USI, and Elizabeth (Betty) a Purdue graduate, served as the Extension Agent for Purdue Posey County Cooperative Extension Service for five years. John was employed with the phone company in Marketing, Business Administration and Engineering through Indiana Bell, Ameritech and finally AT&T, retiring after 27 years. John’s employment gave the couple a “close up” view of Indiana by moving, living and raising their family in five

homes throughout Indiana-Mount Vernon, Crawfordsville, Merrilliville, Indianapolis and Bloomington. John continues to work for Yates Engineering of Bloomington as a Communications Engineer. Betty’s career has been twofold working ﬁrst in education and the media, followed by 20 years as a Coordinator for StoneBelt in Bloomington and Evansville ARC, training staﬀ to advocate and accommodate employment of individuals with disabilities or challenges. “It’s been a wonderful, adventurous 50 year journey with our return to Mount Vernon in May 2017. Posey County is the same welcoming community that we experienced as newlyweds in the 70’s and now is our hometown as senior citizens. It’s great to live close to our extended families. We feel blessed to have close relationships with our three children Holly, Heather, and Steven and enjoy spending time with their families, including our eight grandchildren.”

Goldman is new owner of Solar Escape By Lois Mittino Gray Kristin Goldman brings years of experience under the ultraviolet lights to her new role as the owner of Solar Escapes Tanning Salon in Mount Vernon. She officially took over the reins of the business, located at 130 West Third Street, on August 1. The previous owners, Jim and Marion Powers, sold the enterprise to enjoy retirement and travel. “I am friends with their daughter and I was interested in it,” Goldman said. “They made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.” This is Goldman’s first venture into business ownership, but she is no stranger to the tanning business. “I have always been a fan of tanning. In high school, I worked at both salons that were here in town. I have a good head start on running the business. I want to observe for a while before I make any changes,” she explained. She chose to keep the same name, same equipment, and same operation as Status Quo, until she determines how she wants to update things and offer special packages. One change may be in weekend hours, depending on demand. For now, salon hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. Solar Escapes will be closed on Sundays for family time. “If we get requests to stay open

later on Saturdays or open on Sunday, I can make those adjustments,” she commented. Goldman said she has many regulars, who come on a daily or weekly basis, as well as first-time walk-ins. A custom-

Financial Focus How Can You Prepare for the “New Retirement”? A generation or so ago, people didn’t just retire from work – many of them also withdrew from a whole range of social and communal activities. But now, it’s different: The large Baby Boom cohort, and no doubt future ones, are insisting on an active lifestyle and continued involvement in their communities and world. So, what should you know about this “new retirement”? And how can you prepare for it? For starters, consider what it means to be a retiree today. The 2020 Edward Jones/Age Wave Four Pillars of the New Retirement study has identified these four interrelated, key ingredients, along with the connected statistics, for living well in the new retirement: • Health – While physical health may decline with age, emotional intelligence – the ability to use emotions in positive ways – actually improves, according to a well-known study from the University of California, among others. However, not surprisingly, retirees fear Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia more than any physical ailment, including cancer or infectious diseases, according to the “Four Pillars” study. • Family – Retirees get their greatest emotional nourishment from family relationships – and they’ll do anything it takes to help support those family members, even if it means sacrificing their own financial security. Conversely, retirees lacking close connections with family and friends are at risk for all the negative consequences resulting from physical and social isolation. • Purpose – Nearly 90% of Americans feel that there should be more ways for retirees to use their talents and knowledge for the benefit of their communities and society at large. Retirees want to spend their time in useful, rewarding ways – and they’re well capable of doing so, given their decades of life experience. Retirees with a strong sense of purpose have happier, healthier lives and report a higher quality of life. • Finances – Retirees are less interested in accumulating more wealth than they are in having sufficient resources to achieve the freedom to live their lives as they choose. Yet, retirees frequently find that managing money in retirement can be even more challenging than saving for it. And the “unknowns” can be scary: Almost 70% of those who plan to retire in the next 10 years say they have no idea what their healthcare and long-term care costs will be in retirement. So, if you’re getting close to retirement, and you’re considering these factors, how can you best integrate them into a fulfilling, meaningful way of life? You’ll want to take a “holistic” approach by asking yourself some key questions: What do you want to be able to do with your time and money? Are you building the resources necessary to enjoy the lifestyle you’ve envisioned? Are you prepared for the increasing costs of health care as you age? Have you taken the steps to maintain your financial independence, and avoid burdening your family, in case you need some type of long-term care? Have you created the estate plans necessary to leave the type of legacy you desire? By addressing these and other issues, possibly with the help of a financial professional, you can set yourself on the path toward the type of retirement that’s not really a retirement at all – but rather a new, invigorating chapter of your life.

Mount Vernon Community Church -

Just as many are feeling the economic effects of the current pandemic, Saint Stephen’s Church in New Harmony also finds itself in a position that will affect our annual outreach to local organizations. Due to the cancellation of the 2020 Kunstfest festival weekend, which is our small church’s sole fundraising event to support local community needs, we are reaching out for help from area residents. We know you love our kuchens, tenderloins, and drinks at Kunstfest, but maybe you didn’t know that every dollar Saint Stephen’s earns that weekend goes to our outreach ministries. And while we are being asked to take a “corona-sabbatical” this year, our outreach ministries get no such reprieve. Our dona-

tions include Posey County Special Olympics, Partners for Food, Ministerial Association’s Food Pantry, activities for Premier Healthcare patients, New Harmony Fire Department, and more. Instead of your purchase at Kunstfest this year, we are asking for your financial donation. If you can give, please make your check payable to Saint Stephen’s Episcopal Church, and mail to P.O. Box 173, New Harmony, IN 47631. Please note “Kunstfest donation” in the memo line. You can also donate online through our website at https://www.ststephensnewharmony.org/ by pressing the “Give” button. We thank you for any support you can give to help us support these important local organizations.

AUGUST 11, 2020

THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS - PAGE A7

Mount Vernon Schools optimistically start 2021 year By Lois Mittino Gray “Hopefully we’ll be off to a good start,” School Superintendent Matt Thompson said with optimism as he spoke at the August 3, meeting of the Mount Vernon School Board. “Teachers come back on Thursday and we have planned smaller welcoming breakfasts for them in their own buildings. We’ll meet all together first and hear some speeches from our staff and then new NEAMount Vernon President Rick Jesch will address the teachers. Then we’ll dismiss to our respective schools,” he explained. Students’ first day of school will be Friday, August 7. Thompson said 15 percent of students will be attending virtually online. The assembled board continued to review Powerpoints on the 2021 projected budget, presented by Director of Business Loren Evans, with discussion afterwards. At this meeting, discussion centered around the proposed school revenue and expenditure budgets for the Debt Service Fund, Operations Fund, Capital Projects Expenditure Plan, Bus Replacement Plan, and Facilities and Equipment Plans. Throughout, it was apparent that a ‘Less Is Best’ philosophy of spending will dominate the year. The proactive effort will help control funding deficits that might arise.

Purchasing new buses was put on hold and much of the budget will go toward technology for online learning. “We budgeted as normal, but we intend to underspend the budget this year. We feel that next August the fiscal crunch COVID-19 brought will hit the state funding and we want to be ready,” he clarified. “We will look at all things and ask if it can wait another year before buying.” In personnel matters, the board confirmed the employment of Molly Swihart and Rajean Bergman as part-time teacher assistants in Special Education at parochial schools. Hannah Cross was hired as a teacher assistant in remediation at Marrs Elementary School. Olivia Schneider will serve as both a teacher assistant and lifeguard at the junior high school. Mary Deckard will work at the junior high school in food services. The board also accepted the intent to retire of Jeanne Hassell as a teacher assistant at Farmersville Elementary School, effective the end of the 2019-20 school year. She has 24 years of service. Scott Reagan was granted a nonpaid medical leave of absence from July 21, 2020 through September 11, 2020. Resignations, effective immediately,

as recommended for department heads, club and activity sponsors and sports positions. The district is not filling some intramural sponsors in elementary and junior high school and a curriculum coordinator role at the high school level. • adopted a resolution permitting Carol Stratton to attend the virtual ISBA/IAPSS/ IASBO Budget/Finance Seminar on August 12, 2020. • officially approved changes in the Student Handbook. “Most of the changes are minor ones, but the perk of qualifying for exemption from final exams if a student has perfect attendance has been removed. With the current climate of COVID 19, we had to take this one out of policy. We don’t want a student coming to school sick just to keep perfect attendance.” • Information to the board included the School Lunch Fund report for June, the School Lunch Fund annual report (July 2019 – June 2020), teacher evaluation, and the 2019-20 Extracurricular Financial Reports. The 2019-2020 Extracurricular Financial Reports are available for review in the Superintendent’s Office. • The next meeting is slated for Monday, August 17 at 5:45 p.m. in the library of the Mount Vernon Senior High School.

‘Turbines’ continued from Page A1 teen minutes could make the difference between life and death,” she stated ominously. Commissioner Randy Thornburg agreed with Bauer that, “This is a critical issue that needs to be addressed.” He made a motion to send the ordinance back to the Area Plan Commission for discussion and recommendation. The commissioners unanimously agreed with the motion. “After all, it’s our job as county officials to look out for safety of our residents. We have three schools only seven to nine miles from that radar. For that reason alone, we have to protect kids and schools. We would not want to be responsible for anything like that (an unwarned tornado) to happen, God forbid,” Thornburg emphasized. In other Commissioner action: • With all the rain of late, the Coliseum roof is leaking in one corner on all three floors and into the basement. “We can’t have that at all with water flooding the basement. I have someone coming to patch the roof tomorrow,” President Carl Schmitz told the others. He added that the dome in the courthouse is seriously leaking worse and worse with every passing day and the Commissioners will need to seriously look at putting a new roof on the dome soon. • Also, with the heavy rains, Schmitz reported black mold dripping from the registers at the county morgue. “The humidity is at 74 percent there and Bill will get prices on moving the condenser units. This must be done as soon as possible,” he stated. He opened two bids for the work at the meeting: Beuligmann for $12,041 and HF Refrigeration for $7,580. The lower bid was accepted. • Schmitz brought up a letter sent to them by Sherry Plouchard about a drainage problem in her Wadesville subdivision. “She would like us to dig up all her neighbor’s yards and put in ditches for drains. Do we want to act on it?” he asked. Thornburg replied, “Steve and I both went over and looked at the location. It is an open culvert with a grating over it and is a private party situation. I think we should just draft a letter to her explaining that.” A motion passed to send a letter.

Lewis faces 30 years

Tiyo Lewis, of Mount Vernon, appeared in the Posey County Circuit Court on the afternoon of August 10, where he was sentenced by Judge Craig Goedde to 30 years in prison. A Posey County jury previously found Lewis guilty of Dealing in Methamphetamine, a Level 2 Felony. After the guilty verdict, Lewis admitted to being a habitual offender, which enhanced his sentence. Lewis, age 30, was the final suspect apprehended by the Posey County Drug Task Force in “Operation Guillotine,” which concluded on April 26, 2019 in what was the largest drug raid in Posey County history. Lewis was later located and arrested in Montgomery County, Ohio on November 4, 2019. According to police records, Lewis sold more than 10 grams of methamphetamine to an undercover police informant in March of 2019. The Posey County Prosecutor’s Office sought the habitual offender sentencing enhancement due to Lewis’s past criminal history. According to court

were from high school teachers Anna Kuechenberg and Zack Windell, Katie York as a part-time music teacher at Farmersville, and Maura Spencer as a teacher assistant in remediation at Marrs Elementary. Jeremy Rittenbery resigned as teacher in PE/Health; and as both boys’ head tennis coach (half stipend) and boys’ assistant track coach at the high school. Ryan Stemple resigned as assistant high school football coach at half stipend. Food service employees who resigned are: Marian Christy, junior high; Michelle Hamrick, high school; and Lisa Ripplemeier at Farmersille Elementary. In other board action: • adopted revised Policy No. 302.01 on Student Transfers. The revised policy reads, “School employees own children will be accepted prior to other requests provided there is capacity in the grade level in that building, as determined annually by the board. If there is not adequate capacity in a grade level to accept all transfers, a random selection process will be conducted at a public meeting of the board.” Criteria includes the employee must reside in Indiana, earn at least $8,000 plus a year or at least $3,000 in extracurricular activities. • confirmed employment for the extra duty positions for the 2020-21 school year

records, Lewis has two prior criminal convictions for Criminal Confinement, a Class D Felony, and Burglary, a Class B Felony. “Mr. Lewis made the decision to sell drugs in Posey County, and I’m grateful that he was held accountable for his actions,” commented Posey County Prosecutor Thomas Clowers. “This doesn’t happen without the dedicated work of our Drug Task Force – including Investigator Kenneth Rose, Detective Dustin Seitz and Detective Korben Sellers. Their exceptional investigative work in this case helped secure another conviction, allowing my office to remove another drug dealer from our community for a substantial period of time.” “I am pleased with the sentence in this case,” said Chief Deputy Prosecutor Georgianne Mastison, who tried this case to the jury. “We hope this stiff sentence will deter this type of criminal behavior in Posey County. Sending drug dealers like Mr. Lewis to prison helps to ensure the continued safety of our community.”

Hans Schmitz, PC Purdue Extension Educator Still Not the End of the 4-H Year Although the Indiana State Fair may be closed to the public, the 4-H events continue in Indianapolis through August. Now dubbed the Indiana State Fair 4-H Livestock Competitions and 4-H Project Showcase, in-person livestock shows with no audience will be occurring during the original state fair schedule, with all of the virtually or otherwise judged county projects now also having been judged virtually at the state level. Nonanimal projects also have an audience-free recognition event on August 15. The 4-H Project Showcase on August 15 is expected to run in the following fashion, according to the state fair website. In-person judging of tractor operators, public speaking, public demonstration, and fashion revue will occur throughout the day. Other nonanimal projects have already been judged virtually, with the judges assigning orange merit ribbons to the best-in-class. Of the orange ribbons this year, the judges have also selected one project from each project level to serve in the sweepstakes. The State Fair does not have Grand Champions, as those

are awarded at the county level, but consider the similarities. Sweepstakes award winners will be invited to display their exhibit on August 15 for themselves and other sweepstakes winners to view. All the ribbon placings and winners will be put on the Indiana 4-H web site for public viewing in the coming week or two. The 4-H Livestock Competitions are running similar to years past. Some notable diďŹ&#x20AC;erences exist in show dates, species on the ground at the same time, and barn procedures in order to more eďŹ&#x192;ciently maintain physical distancing and avoid barn overcrowding. Masks will be required, of course. Unfortunately, the cat and dog shows have been permanently cancelled due to the fact that cats, ferrets, and some other small mammals have been shown to have the ability to become infected with COVID and spread that infection. Dogs are less likely, but still have some potential, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The ďŹ rst weekend of shows passed on the Aug. 8 and Aug. 9, with barrows, beef, meat goats, sheep, and rabbits being judged. Horse and Pony events are majority weekday events throughout the two weeks,

wrapping up on Aug. 21. Second weekend shows include gilts, dairy, dairy beef, sheep, and poultry. Third weekend events on the Aug. 22 include pygmy goats and llama/alpaca shows. Do you have a sense of curiosity and are thinking of coming up to Indianapolis for any of these festivities? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Wristbands are required to be on the grounds, and wristbands are only given to those with oďŹ&#x192;cial business on the grounds. In addition to show participants and a couple of adults per participant, a cadre of volunteer staďŹ&#x20AC; will be on the grounds to ensure successful show and showcase completion. Show results and pictures of the hard-working youth will surely be rampant on social media and oďŹ&#x192;cial media publications in the coming days. As the schools re-open and student achievement in academics and sports begins again to highlight what our youth can achieve, look for news from the Indiana State Fair 4-H Livestock Competitions and 4-H Project Showcase highlighting local youth!

“The Poseyy Countyy Fair Association,, Inc. Board of Directors thanks CountryyMark Refineryy for donatingg $25,0 , 00 towards two new sets of bleachers””

Funds were donated and paid for two new sets of bleachers for the Posey County Fairgrounds. The bleachers are 10 rows high and 27 feet long which provides additional seating for up to 266 people. The bleachers are also transportable so they can be used at numerous events and locations on the Fairgrounds. Unfortunately, the bleachers were not used this year due to the cancellation of the Posey County Fair, but the Fair Board is excited and hopeful to provide this extra seating to attendees of the 2021 Posey County Fair and various other events held on the grounds. Thank you for your continued and generous support, CountryMark.

PAGE A10 - THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS G G B J J R On Saturday mornings at the State Movie Theater in Pawhuska, Oklahoma in the 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s you could see a black and white double feature western where the good guys wore white hats and the bad guys wore black masks. The lines were not blurred. Cowboys, good; rustlers, bad. Lawmen, good; bandana wearing holdup men, bad. No mask, good; mask, bad. Today society has divided into two warring factions that are as deďŹ ned as those satisfying old movie plots but which are themselves not

The good guys very satisfying. One group champions masks as proof of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concern for others and the other group eschews masks as unnecessary and an infringement on individual liberty. However, most of the members of both groups still view cowboys as the good guys. In my family we had my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest brother, Uncle Bud, a rodeo cowboy who roped calves and steers. He was one of my heroes even though the mean billy goat he used to practice his roping often butted me across the roping arena. Another of our familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cowgirl heroines was and is my oldest brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, Shirley Smith Redwine. Sis-

ter Shirley competed in barrel racing, pole bending and ďŹ&#x201A;ag racing for several years at the International Roundup Cavalcade in Osage County, Oklahoma. Shirley was a member of both the Turley, Oklahoma and Sand Springs, Oklahoma round up clubs and she competed as a queen candidate several times. Shirleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Esther, designed and sewed Shirleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fancy outďŹ ts and Shirleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Hollis, trained her horses. She competed from age twelve until her freshman year at Oklahoma State University where she met my brother, C.E. Redwine, who managed to win Shirleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart with his saxophone and ended her rodeo career.

But Shirley has always remained a cowgirl at heart. She knows right from wrong and has always fearlessly championed the right. Cowboys are supposed to stand up and be counted. Shirley did just that when Covid-19 struck our world. She put her sewing skills to work and made masks for our whole family. Now I do not know how many other cowboys and cowgirls have mounted up to confront â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ole 19, but I believe true cowboys and cowgirls are not afraid to stand up against any evil. So, cowgirl Shirley, thanks for the masks. Peg and I follow your lead and wear them whenever we go out and about. We do notice there are some folks who do not wear

masks. Maybe the rest of the good guys can help get the message out until â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ole 19 goes the way of the Saturday morning horse operas.

Senate Democratic Leader Tim Lanane (DAnderson) had the following statement on Governor Holcombâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refusal to implement no-excuse absentee voting for the November election: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cases are continuing to go up, yet the governor still thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe for vulnerable Hoosiers to go to the polls. Why wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we want to give all Hoosiers the option to safely vote absentee during this pandemic? Why are the governor and Secretary of State so reluctant to let Indiana voters do what 78 percent of Americans are al-

lowed to do during this November election? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The governor also mentioned that absentee voting is a statutory issue that the General Assembly would need to weigh in on. If that is your belief, Governor Holcomb, then you must call an immediate special session so we can pass legislation to allow no-excuse absentee voting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What this comes down to is the governor choosing politics over the health of his constituents. For Hoosiers across the state, this is unacceptable.â&#x20AC;?

Guest Column: Vectren August 11 (8/11) serves as reminder to always call 811 before digging Aug. 11 serves as a reminder to call the national â&#x20AC;&#x153;Call Before You Digâ&#x20AC;? number â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 811 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; prior to any digging project. One call to 811 before digging can prevent injuries, property damage, service disruption and possible costly ďŹ nes for damaged infrastructure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Aug. 11 and throughout the year, we continue to remind homeowners and professional contractors alike to call 811 before digging to eliminate the risk of striking an underground utility line,â&#x20AC;? Ashley Babcock, director of Damage Prevention and Public Awareness for Vectren, a CenterPoint Energy company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cause of many underground utility damages is not digging properly. The only physical way to know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s below is to call and have the buried utilities in your project area marked. By calling 811, homeowners and professionals receive the free locating service and also follow an important law designed to help keep them and their communities safe.â&#x20AC;? During COVID-19, CenterPoint Energy has implemented additional measures to protect the

safety and health of its customers, employees and contractors, as well as to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Utility line locate companies are no exception and are properly equipped with personal protective equipment while performing work. If you see Vectren crews or Vectren contractors performing work, please avoid approaching them and continue to practice social distancing. When homeowners or contractors call 811, the One Call Center automatically notiďŹ es local utilities. After the request is made, professional locators are sent to the requested digging site to mark the approximate locations of underground lines with ďŹ&#x201A;ags and spray paint, enabling the homeowner to dig safely. The depth of utility lines varies and there may be multiple utility lines in a common area. Whether it is a small project like planting a tree, or a larger one such as hiring a professional to install a lawn irrigation system, smart digging means calling 811 before each job.

Guest Column: By Suzanne McCormick, U.S. President of United Way. Want Racial Justice? Start With Filling Out Your Census Those living in our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poor and minority communities have historically gone undercounted in the U.S. Census. For instance, nearly one million Black Americans went uncounted nationwide in the 2010 Census. Fortunately, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an easy step you can take that will go a long way towards ensuring everyone in our communities gets the representation and resources they deserve. By completing the 2020 census questionnaire -- online, over the phone, or by mail -- you can add your voice to the conversation and make yourself and your family heard. Here are ďŹ ve ways your census response will help you and your fellow Americans. 1. It advances racial equity. In recent months, millions have taken to the streets to call for racial equity and justice. These protests have helped amplify the voices of underserved communities. But real change will only take place when these demands become public policy. For that to happen, our government needs to see you. And that can only happen if you stand up to be counted.

The racial inequities that undermine our nation can never be addressed unless you ďŹ ll out the census and join the ďŹ ght for social justice. 2. It directs funding to programs that save lives. As the COVID-19 outbreak continues to ravage the country, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critical that we direct our emergency resources to those who need them the most. Black and Latinx Americans are disproportionately impacted by the virus and are twice as likely to die from COVID-19. Wealth also factors into the survivability of COVID-19. Adults with an annual household income below $15,000 are nearly 15 percent more likely to contract a serious illness following infection compared to those with annual incomes over $50,000. Your census response helps essential workers identify at-risk communities and directs resources to these vulnerable populations. The coronavirus wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the last time certain communities are disproportionately impacted by a natural disaster. Accurate census data will prepare ďŹ rst responders, nonproďŹ t relief organi-

zations, and government oďŹ&#x192;cials to respond to future crises. 3. It funds everything from public housing to school breakfasts. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s census will determine how trillions of dollars in federal spending are allocated over the next decade. In 2017 alone, over 300 federal programs relied on 2010 census data to allocate $1.5 trillion of funds. That money pays for everything from public housing to school breakfast programs, new roads to trash and recycling schedules. Federal dollars wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach the communities that need them most unless the government has a precise picture of your local population. You must paint that picture by letting them know you are there. 4. It ensures fair political representation. Ever wonder why Ohio has 16 seats in the House of Representatives, while Georgia has only 14? The number of representatives a state gets increases with its population -- and the census determines its population. You pay taxes, right? Well, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you want to

be fairly represented? The results of the 2020 census will shape the Congressional map for the next decade. If you want a Congress that represents your community and serves your interests, make sure the government accounts for you and your family. 5. It creates jobs. Census data doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just help government oďŹ&#x192;cials. Businesses consult the census when making hiring and payroll decisions, or where to locate a new oďŹ&#x192;ce, or when determining how best to serve their communities. For instance, understanding the demographic of a particular neighborhood can help a local grocer determine which items to stock. This knowledge helps her business grow and creates jobs in your neighborhood, while delivering needed items to the marketplace. At United Way, we ďŹ ght for every person in every community to be seen and heard. But we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it alone. Join us and help stand up for your community by being counted. You have until September 30th to ďŹ ll out the 2020 U.S. census. Change doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen without you.

Guest Column: By George Landrith The oil market doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need an intervention In late spring, oil prices dipped below zero for the ďŹ rst time ever. Futures contracts for May delivery traded as low as negative $37 a barrel, as producers and speculators paid reďŹ neries and storage facilities to take excess crude oďŹ&#x20AC; their hands. In some sense, this historic moment was inevitable. Oil markets are completely saturated. Worldwide coronavirus lockdowns have depressed energy demand. And in March, Saudi Arabia and Russia announced they would increase production, thus exacerbating the glut. President Trump has tried to help beleaguered U.S. producers. He recently mediated a deal between Saudi Arabia, Russia, and other major oil producers, who collectively agreed to cut production by nearly 10 million barrels a day. But prices are still falling. And now, the White House is toying with other ways to prop up U.S. oil producers, ranging from tariďŹ&#x20AC;s on imported oil to direct cash payments to energy companies. This desire to help energy companies, and the millions of workers they employ, is commendable -- but ultimately counterproductive. In the long run, the industry will emerge stronger if the White House allows the free market to resolve this crisis. This pandemic-induced economic crisis is going to be painful

for the energy sector. Cost-cutting and layoďŹ&#x20AC;s are already underway. But the industry is strong and adaptive, and has bounced back from past crises by investing in technology. In fact, economic pressure encourages the kind of innovation and belt-tightening that helps companies thrive in the long run. The United States last faced low oil prices in 2014 and 2015, when Saudi Arabia ramped up output to try to cripple U.S. producers that specialized in fracking -- a technique used to extract oil from underground shale rock. By early 2016, prices had dropped below $30 a barrel, well below what U.S. shale producers needed to break even. The government didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come to the rescue, which forced frackers to get creative. They researched how to extract more oil for less, and came up with a variety of new techniques, like drilling several wells simultaneously and using drones to detect faulty equipment. As a result, the average break-even price for frackers dropped from $69 a barrel in 2014 to an average of $40 a barrel by 2017. Had the government tried to solve the problem by slapping tariďŹ&#x20AC;s on Saudi crude, the U.S. oil industry likely would have never set its all-time production record of 13.1 million barrels a P / E D P

day in February. We can be conďŹ dent the U.S. energy industry will apply its ingenuity to this crisis, too -- because these days, it excels at invention. In 2019, the oil and gas sector increased adoption of digital technologies, including cloud data storage and new software. Over the next ďŹ ve years, digitizing could slash the cost of oil production by almost 10 percent. By using sensor technology -- tiny, data-tracking devices attached to oil-ďŹ eld gear -- producer ConocoPhillips recently cut in half the amount of time it took to drill new wells in South Texas. Other companies are using data analytics to search for the best drilling locations. In short, the pressures of a downturn are likely to encourage even more future-focused transformation. The industry doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to hide behind tariďŹ&#x20AC;s. If we trust the free market to encourage creativity, in the long run, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll all beneďŹ t from a cheaper and more eďŹ&#x192;cient energy supply. George Landrith is president of Frontiers of Freedom, a public policy think tank devoted to promoting a strong national defense, free markets, individual liberty, and constitutionally limited government.

Such term bonds shall have a stated maturity or maturities of January 1 or July 1, beginning January 1, 2021, with a final maturity no later than July 1, 2033, as determined by the successful bidder. The term bonds shall be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption and final payment(s) at maturity at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, on dates consistent with the above schedule. At the request of the successful bidder, the Bonds may be issued as fully registered Bonds in book entry only form, registered in the name of Cede &amp; Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”). In such case, the successful bidder is expected to apply to DTC to make such Bonds depository eligible. The Bonds maturing on and after January 1, 2030, are redeemable at the option of the Issuer on July 1, 2029, or any date thereafter, on thirty (30) days’ notice, in whole or in part, in the order of maturity as determined by the Issuer and by lot within a maturity, at face value plus accrued interest to the date fixed for maturity. Principal is payable at the office of a registrar and paying agent to be designated by the Issuer. Interest shall be paid by check mailed to the registered owners or by wire transfer to depositories. The Bonds will be issued in fully registered form. Each bid must be for all of said Bonds and must state the rate or rates of interest in multiples of 1/8, 1/20 or 1/100 of 1%. Any bids specifying two or more interest rates shall also specify the amount and maturities of the Bonds bearing each rate, but all Bonds maturing on the same date shall bear the same single interest rate. The award will be made to the bidder complying with the terms of sale and offering the lowest true interest cost to the Issuer, which is that rate which, when used to compute the total present value as of the date of delivery of the Bonds of all debt service payments on the Bonds on the basis of semiannual compounding, produces an amount equal to the sum of the par value of the Bonds minus any premium bid plus any discount. Although not a term of sale, it is requested that each bid show the net dollar interest cost to final maturity and the net effective average interest rate on the entire issue. No conditional bid or bid for less than 99.25% of the face value of said Bonds will be considered. The right is reserved to reject any and all bids. If no satisfactory bids are received at the time and on the date fixed for the sale, the sale may be continued from day to day thereafter without further advertisement for a period of thirty (30) days, during which time no bid which provides a higher net interest cost to the Issuer than the best bid received at the time of the advertised sale will be considered. Each bid not submitted via PARITY® must be on the bid form provided by the Issuer which shall be enclosed in a sealed envelope addressed to the Clerk-Treasurer of the City of Mount Vernon, Indiana and marked “Bid for City of Mount Vernon, Indiana Waterworks Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2020” or emailed to the Municipal Advisor at the email address listed above. The winning bidder will be notified and instructed to submit a good faith deposit which may consist of either a certified or cashier’s check or wire transfer in the amount of $120,100. If a check is submitted, it shall be drawn on a bank or trust company which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and shall be submitted to the Issuer (or the successful bidder shall wire transfer the deposit amount as instructed by the Issuer) not later than 3:30 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the next business day after the date of the award. In either case, the deposit shall be payable to the “City of Mount Vernon, Indiana” and shall be held as a guaranty of the performance of the bid. No interest on the deposit will accrue to the successful bidder. In the event the successful bidder fails to honor its accepted bid, the deposit will be retained by the Issuer. The deposit will be applied to the purchase price of the Bonds. The successful bidder will be required to make payment for the Bonds in Federal Reserve funds or other immediately available funds and accept delivery of the Bonds within five (5) days after being notified that the Bonds are ready for delivery. It is anticipated that the Bonds will be ready for delivery within thirty (30) days of the sale date, and if not ready for delivery within forty-five (45) days after the sale date, the purchaser shall be entitled to rescind the sale and obtain the return of the good faith deposit. If using PARITY®, bidders must first visit the PARITY® web site where, if they have never registered with PARITY®, they can register and then request admission to bid on the Bonds.

To the extent any instructions or directions set forth in PARITY conflict with this notice, the terms of this notice shall control. For further information about PARITY, potential bidders may contact the Municipal Advisor at the address set forth herein, or may contact i-Deal LLC at 1359 Broadway, 2nd Floor, New York, New York 10018 (phone: 212-849-5021). The “Rules” of PARITY® can be viewed on its website and are incorporated herein by reference. Bidders must comply with the requirements of PARITY® in addition to requirements included herein if the bidder is using PARITY®. To the extent there is a conflict between the Rules of PARITY® and this Information for Bidding, the Information for Bidding shall control. Bidders may change and submit bids as many times as they wish during the sale period for the Bonds, but they may not withdraw a submitted bid. The last bid submitted by a bidder prior to the deadline for the receipt of bids will be compared to all other final bids to determine the winning bid. During the sale, no bidders will see any other bidder’s bid, nor will they see the status of their bid relative to other bids (i.e. whether their bid is a leading bid). As set forth in the hereinafter described Official Statement, each bidder agrees by submission of its bid to assist the Issuer in establishing issue price of the Bonds. In the event that the Issuer fails to receive a bid on the Bonds from at least three Underwriters (as hereinafter defined), the Issuer shall so advise the successful bidder for the Bonds (such successful bidder, the “Purchaser”). If the Purchaser is an Underwriter intending to resell all or any portion of the Bonds to the Public (as hereinafter defined), the Purchaser must, prior to acceptance of its bid by the Issuer, either (i) agree in writing to neither offer nor sell any of the Bonds to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price for each maturity of Bonds during the Holding Period (as hereinafter defined) for any maturity of the Bonds or (ii) request in writing that the Issuer treat the first price at which 10% of a maturity of the Bonds (the 10% test) is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity, applied on a maturity-by-maturity basis. For purposes of this Notice of Intent to Sell Bonds, (a) the term “Public” shall mean any person (including an individual, trust, estate, partnership, association, company, or corporation) other than an Underwriter or a related party to an Underwriter, (b) the term “related party” means any two or more persons who have greater than 50 percent common ownership, directly or indirectly, (c) the term “Underwriter” means (i) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the Issuer (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public, and (ii) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (i) of this paragraph to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a retail distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public), (d) the term “Underwriters” means more than one Underwriter, and (e) the term “Holding Period” means the period starting on the date the Issuer awards the Bonds to the Purchaser (the “Sale Date”) and ending on the earlier of (i) the close of the fifth business day after the Sale Date, or (ii) the date on which the Underwriter has sold at least 10% of each maturity of the Bonds to the Public at prices that are no higher than the initial offering price for such maturity of the Bonds. Any Underwriter executing and delivering a bid with respect to the Bonds agrees thereby that if its bid is accepted by the Issuer (i) it shall accept such designation and (ii) it shall enter into a contractual relationship with all participating underwriters of the Bonds for purposes of assuring the receipt of each such participating underwriter of the Final Official Statement. The Purchaser shall be responsible for providing (i) in writing the initial reoffering prices and other terms, if any, to the Municipal Advisor as and at the time requested and (ii) a certification verifying information as to the bona fide initial offering prices of the Bonds to the Public and sales of the Bonds appropriate for determination of the issue price of, and the yield on, the Bonds under Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as and at the time requested by the City’s bond counsel. Additional information regarding the establishment of the issue price is set forth in the Official Statement, including the appendices thereto, relating to the Bonds. The opinion of Bose McKinney &amp; Evans LLP, bond counsel, of Indianapolis, Indiana, approving the legality of said Bonds, together with a transcript of the bond proceedings, and closing certificates in the usual form showing no litigation, will be furnished to the successful bidder at the expense of the Issuer. The City reserves the right to adjust principal amounts within maturities to achieve the financial objectives of the City with respect to its current and future annual debt service on the Outstanding Bonds, based upon the rates bid by the successful bidder, and coverage and/or amortization requirements on the Outstanding Bonds. In addition, the City reserves the right to increase/decrease the entire principal amount of the Bonds issued based on the actual interest rates bid by the successful bidder. The City also reserves the right to adjust the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds so that at least $13,100,000 is received by the City from the successful bidder in connection with the sale of the Bonds. If the maximum principal amount of the Bonds issued increases/decreases, the City reserves the right to adjust principal amounts within maturities based on the parameters set forth in this paragraph. CUSIP identification numbers may be printed on the Bonds if requested by the successful bidder; provided, however, that neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect thereto shall constitute cause for failure or refusal by the successful bidder therefor to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds in accordance with the terms of its bid. No CUSIP identification number shall be deemed to be a part of any Bond or a part of the contract evidenced thereby, and no liability shall hereafter attach to the Issuer or any of its officers or agents because of or on account of such numbers. All expenses in relation to the printing of CUSIP identification numbers on the Bonds shall be paid for by the Issuer; provided, however, that the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of said numbers shall be the responsibility of and shall be paid for by the successful bidder. The successful bidder will also be responsible for any other fees or expenses it incurs in connection with the resale of the Bonds,including any charges in connection with DTC. The Bonds are being issued under the provisions of Indiana Code 8-1.5 for the purpose of procuring funds to apply on (i) the refunding of the Refunded Bonds and (ii) issuance costs of the Bonds. The Bonds will be payable solely out of a special fund from the net revenues of the waterworks of the Issuer. The Issuer has reserved the right to issue additional bonds ranking on a parity with the Bonds upon certain terms and conditions specifically set forth in the ordinance authorizing the issuance of the Bonds. In the opinion of Bose McKinney &amp; Evans LLP, bond counsel, under the federal statutes, decisions, regulations and rulings existing on this date, the interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation. The Bonds are subject to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as in effect on the date of their issuance (“Code”) which imposes limitations on the issuance of obligations such as the Bonds under federal tax law. The Issuer has covenanted to comply with those limitations to the extent required to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The Issuer has designated the Bonds as qualified tax-exempt obligations for purposes of Section 265(b) of the Code. In order to assist bidders in complying with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12, as in effect on the date of delivery of the Bonds, the Issuer will undertake, pursuant to a Continuing Disclosure Undertaking Agreement, to provide audited financial statements, certain operating data and notices of certain events. A form of this Continuing Disclosure Undertaking Agreement is available upon request at the offices of Bond Counsel, Brenda K. DeVries, Bose McKinney &amp; Evans LLP, 111 Monument Circle, Suite 2700, Indianapolis, IN 46204. The Issuer has prepared an Official Statement relating to the Bonds which it deems to be nearly final. A copy of the nearly final Official Statement may be obtained from the Municipal Advisor. Information concerning the Issuer may be obtained from the Municipal Advisor. Within seven (7) business days of the sale, the Issuer will provide the successful bidder of each issue of Bonds with 10 copies of the final Official Statement at the Issuer’s expense and such additional copies as may be requested, within five (5) business days of the sale, by the successful bidder at the expense of the successful bidder. Inquiries concerning matters contained in the nearly final Official Statement must be made and pricing and other information necessary to complete the final Official Statement must be submitted by the successful bidder within two (2) business days following the sale to be included in the final Official Statement.
