By Dave Pearce A Norris City, Ill., man is dead and two employees of Skanska (formerly Industrial Contractors) were injured as the result of an accident on Mount Vernon’s west side early last week.

According to Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth, on Tuesday, August 7, at approximately 10:33 a.m., the Posey County Sheriff’s Department was notified of a vehicle crash on State Road 62 west of Mount Vernon. Responding officers were informed that the crash involved three vehicles.

Upon arrival emergency responders found a collision involving two pick-up trucks and a commercial vocational flatbed truck, which was pulling a flatbed construction trailer. The investigation revealed that James G. Wilson (age 73), of Norris City, Ill., driving a 2001 GMC pick-up truck, was traveling west on State Road 62, approaching the Sauerkraut Lane intersection. Wilson’s vehicle traveled left of center on the two lane highway and struck an eastbound flatbed construction

Smith (age 55), of Evansville. After impacting the trailer, Wilson’s vehicle continued further into the eastbound lane and struck a 2009 Ford F150 pick-up truck driven by Roger L. Gauger (age 49), of Evansville, who was following immediately behind the trailer. Both Wilson’s vehicle and Gauger’s vehicle were forced from

the roadway as a result of the impact.

Wilson was pronounced dead at the scene by Posey County Coroner Jay Price. Gauger was transported by Posey County EMS to St. Mary’s Hospital in Evansville, where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries. Smith was checked at the scene by emergency medical personnel and found to

have suffered no substantial physical injuries.

Assisting the Sheriff’s Department in the investigation were units from the Posey County EMS, Mount Vernon Police Department, Indiana State Police, Black Township Fire Department, the Mount Vernon Fire Department, and the Posey County Coroner.

Food Bridge future in hands of INDOT Local Pantry supply

By Valerie Werkmeister The future of the Wabash River bridge at New Harmony remains in question as Posey County officials await answers from the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT). During an August 7 meeting, the commissioners announced they had sent a letter to INDOT requesting additional proposals. Attorney Trent Van Haaften explained that the State of Indiana will give the county $10 million to build the bridge if White County, Ill., will match the amount and assist in the process.

“We need other alternatives if White County won’t take part in this,” Van Haaften stated.

Commissioner Jim Alsop stated that Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth is working with the White County Sheriff to coordinate a plan to assist farmers in moving equipment along Interstate 64.

“There is really nothing to announce at this time.

There is a lot of what-ifs, a lot of ‘I don’t understands’ and a lot of ‘I don’t knows,” Alsop stated.

Richard Porter of Wadesville appeared before the commissioners to discuss a nuisance complaint that had been lodged against him regarding his property at 7265 Main Street. Porter’s home was involved in a fire last year and remains partially standing. Porter stated

that the house has been boarded up and he is reclaiming the wood off the deck and other areas that can be salvaged. He is also obtaining quotes for the remainder of the structure to be torn down.

In November, Porter asked for the county to vacate the alley near his property. The alley has not been used for years and Porter believed it would allow him to “square up” his property and place a new home and install an updated septic system. The commissioners asked for Porter to obtain approval signatures from his neighbors before they would grant his request.

Porter stated he was confused to recently learn that if they granted the vacation of the alley, it did not mean he could use the additional property to build on.

Commissioner Jim Alsop stated they had still not received all of the letters from the neighbors. Porter claimed he had mailed them to Keeley Winiger, who also stated she had not received them. Porter was able to produce copies of the letters during the meeting.

Alsop advised Porter that he would need to contact Denny Schaefer at the health department to determine if a new septic system can be placed over the vacated alley. The nuisance complaint was tabled and Porter

New town hall, police station possible

By Pam Robinson Black Township Trustee Lindsay Suits addressed the Mount Vernon City Council regarding necessary action to help make a new city police and fire station a reality. The Black Township Trustee’s Office is offering up to $400,000—taxpayer money in its cumulative fire fund—to make the land and building purchase and to help with renovations for a new city police and fire station, an estimated $1.2 million project.

Suits read council a letter from Indianapolis attorney G. Jayson Marksberry, who represents the Black Township Trustee’s Office. In the letter, Marksberry spells out the required steps to move forward on the project: 1) review all inspection documents related to the subject real estate; 2) execute an assignment agreement with the City of Mount Vernon; 3) enter a purchase agreement with the seller, Old Orchard LLC. His letter follows a July 25, 2012, phone conversation with City Attorney Beth McFadin Higgins regarding the option agreement to purchase the real estate.

After the meeting, Suits identified the real estate in question as the Old Dausmann Motors’ facility on

College Avenue across from Subway restaurant. Suits stated that the City of Mount Vernon and the Black Township Trustee’s office had been talking about the project since January, and she’d like to see action before the end of this year.

Suits stressed that she hopes elected officials will “step outside the political arena” and reach a decision that benefits local families. She explained that although the City of Mount Vernon has been applying for grants to complete the project, the city can expect to receive more grant funding once the property and building have been purchased.

City Attorney Beth McFadin Higgins said she would be happy to continue conversations with Marksberry on the project and to copy Suits on any email correspondence between her and Attorney Marksberry.

Retrospective ................. A4 Legals........................... B7-9 Classifieds .................. B4-6

By Pam Robinson “The Mount Vernon Food Pantry is certainly feeling the heat this summer as donations drop and client needs rise,” comments Director Erin Hollinger. “It is not an uncommon sight during this time of year, but it has never been witnessed at this level before.”

Hollinger provides the statistics to back up her observations. This July the pantry served 270 families, totaling 836 individuals. In comparison, 622 individuals were served in July, 2011. Overall, during the months of May through July, the Food Pantry has served almost 40 percent more clients this year than during the same period in 2011.

Hollinger says the increase makes sense. As happens every summer, the kids are home from school (meaning no free and reduced breakfast and lunch each weekday), which puts a stress on pocketbooks.

The heat is rising (especially high this year), which puts added utility costs on families. The need to reduce spending, yet feed the family, sends more people to the pantry.

“Unfortunately, along with the increase in need, a decrease in giving seems to occur in summer months,” Hollinger stresses. “Families are saving for vacation, their utilities are high, their kids are home, and there are no major ‘giving’ holidays in the summer where families are urged to help those in need. It is not something that donors often realize, the time we most need donations is the time we usually get far less.”

School is just around the corner, and many will receive help then. Still, client need is up overall.

Shelves need to be restocked.

The Mount Vernon Food Pantry is asking for help. Community members are encouraged to gather friends together and have a food drive. Businesses are urged to challenge the staff by matching donations. Clubs or organizations can have an event to benefit the pantry.

Of course, individual donations, both food and monetary, are always appreciated.. Monetary donations can be sent to P.O. Box 228, Mount Vernon IN 47620, and food donations can be brought in during business hours, Monday, Wednesday and Friday 9-12 pm, and Friday 3-6 pm. Food donations can also be dropped off at the Posey County Co-Op business office, and both food and monetary donations can be dropped off at First Bank.

For info on what items to donate, what kind of drives to host, or how to help at the workplace or house of worship, he or she can email mvfoodpantry@yahoo.com.

BE THRIFTY AT THE POSEY COUNTY THRIFT SHOP IT’S NIFTY TO

“

O

ur store is definitely used more now than in years past,” acknowledges Posey County Thrift Shop manager Karla Wolf.

“People from all walks of life shop here. Everybody’s looking for a bargain now, not just a few people.”

A Mount Vernon native, Wolf has managed the Thrift Shop, located at 1105 Main Street in Mount Vernon, for the past six years. She worked at the store only six months prior to becoming manager, so she defers to store employee Susie King when asked about the history of the store.

Manager herself for a few years 30 years ago, King recalls that the store started in a barracks some 50 years ago, and then moved into the vacated Booker T. Washington School, until it reached its current location more than 30 years ago under the leadership of Rev. August Bender of Trinity United Church of Christ.

Today, an all-volunteer, 10-member board of directors oversees the Posey County Thrift Shop.

In 1987, an extension was built. The storage barn and drive-thru drop off were both added in 2006, the same year Wolf became manager.

Recently, the Thrift Shop has started furniture pickup in the city limits only for quality furniture

donations.

Donors may drop off gently used clothing, furniture and small appliances between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.

Wolf reminds donors that no mattresses and box springs or large appliances are accepted.

Wolf has organized the store to accommodate shoppers.

Clothing is clearly marked— kids, women’s and men’s — ac c o rding to size. Furniture is set out as in a factory showroom. The three full-time and five parttime employees keep everything neat and clean.

In addition, Wolf creates shopping experiences in the resale shop that rival those in a regular department store. She and her staff close the store the whole week of Thanksgiving, for example, to lead up to a spectacular Black Friday sale. When the doors open at 5 a.m., customers walk into a winter wonderland filled with Christmas merchandise.

Wolf says customers start lining up at 4 a.m. to insure they don’t miss out on the bargains.

Traditionally, the Thrift Shop closes a week each in spring and fall for the

changeover to the current season’s clothing.

This year, the store will close on September 22 before reopening on October 2 to feature fall and winter clothing. Wolf appreciates her work environment where no day is the same as any other.

The Posey County Thrift Shop operates exclusively through merchandise donations and their sale. Wolf says only rarely does someone make a monetary donation. Closed on Sundays and Mondays, the store is open for shopping from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. For additional information, customers may call 812-8383676.

A new comprehensive zoning ordinance for the City of Mount Vernon, Poseyville, Cynthiana and other unincorporated areas of Posey County was approved by the commissioners. Area Plan Director, Mindy Bourne, informed the commissioners that a new comprehensive plan was adopted in 2008 which called for an update of all the existing land-use controls. A committee was formed and started meeting in 2011. Members met 12 times for two to three hour meetings to revise the text and make it all conform into one plan. Bourne stated that only the text was changed and maps were not affected.

She asked the commissioners to only approve the zoning portion of the ordinance since a few minor clerical errors were found in the flood portion of the document.

A recent announcement that Welborn Health Plans will be discontinued at the end of the year caused commissioners to locate new health insurance for its county employees. They approved Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield to become effective September 1 through December 31, 2013. Alsop stated the rates are also slightly cheaper than what employees are currently paying.

We’ve been asked…

“What happens if I prefund my funeral and prices go up?”

Just like anything else, funeral prices will increase over time.

However, one of the most compelling reasons to prearrange with our firm is that we offer advance funeral planning options that grow over time to offset inflation.

That’s the kind of assurance you can count on from a family-owned funeral home.

Telephone scams target senior citizens According to Congressional statistics, people lose an estimated $4 billion in mail scams and $40 billion in telemarketing fraud each year in the United States, and Indiana is not exempt from these cons. I have been fielding some calls recently from concerned constituents about a telephone scam targeting senior citizens in our community. Unfortunately, it isn’t uncommon for older consumers to be targeted by fraudulent telemarketers, so it is very important to be aware of a potential con and know how to protect your sensitive information.

A fake Microsoft telephone scam is the most recent attempt made by fraudulent telemarketers to try and deceive Hoosiers. Con artists posing as customer representatives from Microsoft are calling senior citizens to warn them that they have downloaded malicious soft-

ware and need to clean their computer. After the phony representative gains critical access to a computer, they steal information and cause further damage.

There are a lot of other scams out there, all trying to take your hard-earned money. Frequently, internet scams will entice computer users by offering “free” gifts, prizes or vacations as a condition to buy their “product.”

It might even be the “investment of a lifetime,” but only if you act right away. It usually sounds too good to be true—and it almost always is. Victims can lose everything from a few dollars to their life savings because of these scams.

It is because of these situations that the Attorney General has created multiple tools online at http://www. in.gov/attorneygeneral/ to alert Hoosiers of potential dangers. The ID Theft Pre-

vention Toolkit was created to assist victims with correcting their records following a scam and to help consumers in taking the necessary steps to minimize the risk of identity theft. The toolkit also allows Hoosiers to easily keep an accurate inventory of financial information, so creditors can be contacted quickly if any information is ever lost or stolen. This is a great, preventative tool that will hopefully limit the number of Hoosiers who will become victims of fraud.

The House Republicans have also written a publication for senior citizens addressing telephone and internet scams, identity theft and other related information that can be viewed at http://www. in.gov/legislative/house_republicans. I strongly encourage members of our community to review these links to be safeguarded from criminals.

McFadin paints life-like Noah’s Ark mural for Black’s Chapel nursery

By Pam Robinson Ninety-year-old Geraldine McFadin has always loved to paint outside the lines. As an elementary student, she looked forward to Friday, the day set aside for art as well as music class. Yet, much to her teacher’s dismay, McFadin couldn’t resist altering

her mimeographed art worksheet.

“I didn’t make good grades then,” she admits, “because instead of making a jack-olantern out of a pumpkin, I’d put it in a field along with other pumpkins. I always had to add on or change something about the picture.”

Poseyville Carnegie Library News As school begins, our summer reading program for this year has come to an end. The turnout this year was higher than that of any other year and we would like to thank all the patrons who participated! We would also like to thank Walthers Golf & Fun, Mesker Park Zoo, Pump It Up, New Harmony Theatre, Big Splash Adventure, Animal Tales LLC, Tri- County Equipment, Children’s Museum Of Evansville, the Evansville Otters, Southwest Grafix, Marengo Cave, William Bender Attorney,

In painting a lifelike Noah’s ark on the 8-foot south wall of the Black’s Chapel nursery, McFadin is in her element now. The intricate outline of the picture was traced while it was projected onto the wall from a coloring book page. It’s a big picture with lots of detail, the very

She enjoyed homemaking and spent over 50 years in the 4-H Extension Homemakers’ group, the Jolly Homemakers, which she joined as a newlywed in 1950.

Just last year, McFadin held an exhibit of her paintings at the Alexandrian Public Library in Mount Vernon.

She says she prefers working with oils since “if you make a mistake, you can cover it up.”

She admires watercolor artists, such as Mount Vernon’s Bob Pote with whom she has studied, for “they don’t dare make a mistake.” She likes to paint people, flowers and scenery.

McFadin and her three children keep almost all her paintings. “They are like my kids,” she explains. “I have created them, and I just can’t sell them.”

Here’s some news from this group: The largest Black Oak tree in the State of Indiana could be found in Harmonie State park until falling last year. Park employees were able to save three slices, or cookies, from the tree.

Friends of Harmonie State Park are working to preserve one of these cookies for an educational exhibit.

With the help of Senator Jim Tomes, FHSP received $25,000 in funding for mulch and edging to improve the playgrounds in the campground. Park employees worked getting the edging and borders in place, cut spikes to secure the borders and installed mulch to the required height. Friends, Fred & Marilyn Hirsch, John & Mary Hirsch, Bill & Sharon York, Ed Knapp II and Tony Thompson came out at various times and

Historic New Harmony By Missy Parkinson The visitor services coordinator for Historic New Harmony has become involved in a new volunteer

ing with the war effort. She worked as a riveter on airplanes in Evansville until the war ended in 1945.

Five years later in 1950, she wed Paul McFadin, her own young man home after serving in the Navy on the European stage. The couple had celebrated 40 years of marriage before he passed away in 1990.

In spite of the abrupt end to her study, McFadin had never lost her love for art, a love she believes her parents, the late Katherine and Wilford Curtis, instilled in her. Although farming left no time for her mom and dad to create art themselves, they always encouraged their daughter (along with her five siblings) in everything.

“I had a wonderful Mom and Dad,” McFadin recalls.

For 35 years, she drew the art work for the retail ads of another Posey County native, Ruth Kishline, who opened department stores in Evansville, Petersburg, New Harmony and, upon retire-

by Nobel Laureate and former Vice President Al Gore. The Friends of the New Harmony Working Men’s Institute are sponsors of this lecture.

thing McFadin always enjoyed.

She is now working for the first time with acrylics and painting everything free hand. She has already spent two weeks on the mural and figures she will spend at least another two weeks to complete it.

The mural showcases McFadin’s creativity in a way her beloved high school art teacher, Mrs. Beavers, would appreciate. Upon graduation, McFadin served as Mrs. Beaver’s classroom assistant for a year, enough time for Mrs. Beaver to help her star student earn a two-year scholarship to an Indianapolis art school.

McFadin was just learning her way around Indianapolis when her art instructor, a member of the National Guard, was called to serve his country in World War II. Early in 1942, after eight months of post-secondary art training, McFadin packed her bags and headed back home to do her own part in help-

Applications available for Neighbor to Neighbor Class The Community Emergency Assistance Board of Posey County is currently accepting applications for the fall 2012 Neighbor to Neighbor (NTN) program. NTN has been offered to Posey County residents since 2007, and has graduated nearly 100 class participants in the past 11 class offerings. This fall, in addition to the program held in Mount Vernon, a second class will be held in Poseyville in partnership with St. Paul’s United Methodist Church. This added class will provide greater program access to Posey County residents in the northern portion of the county.

NTN is a faith-based, seven week, 14-lesson course, which encourages individuals to take concrete steps to improve their lives by developing their own solutions. NTN is a program for working and employable adults, with an emphasis on developing skills that result in obtaining independence through em-

ployment. For this reason, individuals on a fixed income, such as disability or social security are not eligible for the program. The program is seeking applicants who possess a desire to change, the willingness to consider new and different options for choices in their life and the commitment to attend and participate in class sessions.

Upon successful completion of the program, participants will receive a $400 incentive paid towards an existing debt.

Child care is also provided for those selected to participate in the program.

The Mount Vernon fall session will be held at Hedges Elementary School from 6 8:30 p.m. each Tuesday and Thursday evening from October 2 thru November 15. Applications are available at the Black Township Trustee’s office, Family Matters, and the Mount Vernon Food Pantry.

Applicant interviews will be held the week of September 24, and those applicants ac-

cepted into the program will be notified by September 29.

The Poseyville fall session will be held at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Poseyville on Monday and Thursday evenings from 6 8:30 p.m. beginning October 1. The last class, the “graduation class”, will be held on Wednesday, November 14.

Application forms may be obtained from Posey County Township Trustees’ Offices, St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, and other northern area churches. The application deadline is Wednesday, September 12. Applicant interviews will be held the week of September 17. Those applicants accepted into the program will be notified the week of September 24.

Sponsored by the Community Emergency Assistance Board, the Neighbor to Neighbor program receives the generous support of United Way of Posey County, St. Vincent DePaul, SABIC and county businesses and individuals.

Mount Vernon prepares for lean years

By Pam Robinson Loren Evans, Director of Business and Technology for the Metropolitan School District of Mount Vernon, explained to the Mount Vernon School Board Monday, August 6, how the school district is making the best of a bad budget situation. Drawing money from the Rainy Day Fund and from the Capital Projects Fund will bolster a sagging General Fund losing approximately $1.5 million dollars in state support for the 2013 and 2014 budget years.

This strategy will enable the district to maintain its current number of teachers, albeit budgeting for no salary or benefit increases, and to maintain its current programs. Even so, Evans noted the district would still overspend its revenue, so substantial is the revenue drop caused by the state educational funding formula. That means, the cash balance in the General Fund will continue to dwindle. The school district projects a cash balance of $2,050,352 in the General Fund by December 31, 2013—down from $2,465,829 on December 31, 2012.

In other business: •The board confirmed the employment of Katelyn Offerman as teacher assistant for remediation at Marrs, Carletta Ricketts as teachers assistant for the computer lab (credit recovery) at the senior high, Robert Austin Walker as assistant football coach at the junior high, Travis Wolfe as intramural sponsor at the junior high, and Courtney York as special education teacher at the junior high.

•The board accepted the resignations of Angela Wannemuehler as assistant director

of special education/educational diagnostician effective August 3, 2012; Heidi Blackburn as teacher assistant effective August 16, 2012; and Hajja Riffert as teacher assistant no later than August 10, 2012.

•The board confirmed continued employment for extra duty positions in the 2012-13 school year as recommended. Superintendent Tom Kopatich noted that everyone has been selected and hired for these positions— a first at the beginning of a school year.

•The board accepted the intent to retire from Johnnie Southerland as a speech pathologist effective immediately.

•The board recognized the following students for their achievements: in band, Andrew Higgins, Mount Vernon High School senior, for receiving the 30th Annual Hagemann Award for Musical Performance and for his selection as one of only four drum majors across the nation to lead the Parade Honor Band in Pasadena, California, on New Year’s Day; in FFA, Rebecca Miller, Ryan Ritzert, Ed Schenk and Andrea Seifert have earned the Hoosier FFA degree while Andrea Seifert has been elected as District X President and Mat Seifert has been elected as District X Sentinel, State Chorus Reporter. In addition, the Mount Vernon FFA chapter was cited for state recognition: first place Indiana Prairie Farmer/CountryMark Essay contest for most entries; Superior/Bronze Chapter; Gold Chapter Donor, Foundation Drive; and tenth place in the Living to Serve Community Initiative.

The Mount Vernon School Board will meet again Monday, August 20, 2012, 5:45 p.m. in the junior high media center.

Sermon of the Week: Parable of the Sower

By The Rev. Kevin Morris, Associate Pastor, Lighthouse Assembly of God in New Harmony In Matthew 13 Jesus tells us the parable of the sower.

The key components of the parable are the seed, people and faith. The parable addresses all humanity in that it speaks to every individual by the eventual fate of the seed.

As the parable is read

you will find that at least one illustration will speak to where you are at in life. The seed in the parable speaks of the gospel of God or can even mean the truth of God’s word, but to simplify the term gospel let us just say that it is the good news that God has a plan to reconcile all of mankind to him. You might ask, why the need for reconciliation?

To answer that question we must go back to the first people, Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve chose to reject the truth of God’s word to them and rather chose to believe the lie of the Devil who comes to them as a serpent. Because of this decision, [sin], God drove man from paradise and from his presence. All people born from Adam, [that is us], are

born with a nature that is hostile and separated from God. God loved humanity and set forth a plan to reconcile people to him. The plan of God involved sending his one and only son to redeem us by given his life on the cross. God’s plan works because Jesus bares the consequences of our faults and mistakes. Jesus takes the

judgment of God reserved for people and places it upon his person therefore satisfying the requirement of God’s holiness.

The Bible states that without holiness, no one can come close to God. Jesus takes all of our mistakes and bad decisions that separate us from God and assumes the penalty for them.

The gospel is a church term speaking of the good news that all who believe in what Jesus did may be reconciled to God and therefore returns to paradise. [This is a very simple explanation and there is great depth to what Jesus actually did on the cross]. The parable of the sower involves four different responses to the gospel.

Illustration number one: Seed that falls on the path.

These are people that don’t fully understand the need for Jesus in their lives; while they are considering it, the adversary of their soul, [the Devil], convinces them that they don’t need to believe in Jesus as their redeemer.

Illustration number two: Seed that falls on the rocky places. These are people who have a casual acceptance of God’s plan. The plan sounds good initially, but because of a lack of commitment they quickly forget about God when serving him involves some hardships and tough choices.

Illustration number three: The seed that fell among the thorns. I believe that this illustration speaks to where most people are living at today. The seed that fell among the thorns involves people who are just too busy in life

to have any kind of relationship with God. The cares of life smother faith in God and life presses so intensely upon the seed that it simply cannot grow. This group of people has head knowledge of God’s gospel but their lives bare no evidence that they actually believe in God. Illustration number four: The seed that fell on good ground. This group of people believes and lives for Jesus Christ. This group of people makes decisions based on God’s word. The worship and service to God is first priority in their lives.

This group is devoted to help those that are estranged from God to reconcile their relationship with God. This group influences people by allowing people to see Jesus at work in their lives and by telling people what Jesus has done for them. The first three illustrations can easily be summarized as being a deficient response to God’s gospel and only the last illustration conveys confidently in a restored relationship with God. Today, what kind of soil has the seed of God’s gospel been planted in your life?

Did your faith never have a chance to grow? Did the commitment to live for God prove to be too burdensome for you? Are you too busy for God? Has your relationship been restored with God and are you on your way back to paradise?

Remember, Jesus knew would identify with at least one illustration. What kind of soil has the seed taken root in your life? Something for you to think about today.

Schools around Posey County are opening their doors for the start of the 20122013 school year. The Posey

Oeth says students aren’t the only ones who have to get back into the school routine, he wants to remind all drivers to be responsible and watch for the children; Let’s Keep ‘Em Safe. Be very vigilant, have an awareness of school zones and crosswalks. Drive alert with a readiness to yield to children when they come into view.

Drivers Tips to Keep School Children Safe •Limit distractions such as cell phones, music players or other devices that cause you to take your eyes off the road. Research shows that taking your eyes off the road for just two seconds doubles your chances of crashing.

•Stay Alert and slow down in or near school zones and residential areas. Expect pedestrians on the sidewalk, especially around schools and in neighborhoods near schools.

•Stop at stop signs. It sounds obvious, but research shows that more than one third of drivers roll through stop signs in school zones or neighborhoods.

•Drive with your headlights on - even during the day - so children and other drivers can see you.

•Always stop for school buses that are loading or unloading students.

•Pay particular attention near schools during the morning and afternoon hours and plan ahead.

•Leave early for your destination and build extra time for congestion.

•Practice extra caution in adverse weather conditions.

It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure our children are safe as they travel to and from school. Sheriff Oeth says if you observe a vehicle driving recklessly in a school area, or near a school bus, report the license number to police by calling 838-1320. Take a few moments to review safety tips with your children so they can have an enjoyable and successful school year.

School safety is everyone’s responsibility County Sheriff’s Department wants everyone to remember that buses will be on the roads affecting your morning and

afternoon commute. Children will be present on the streets walking or riding bikes to and from school. Sheriff Greg

CountryMark offers training for energy professionals Recently, 45 energy professionals within the CountryMark cooperative system completed an intensive three-day fuels and lubricants training program hosted by Indiana-based CountryMark.

Petroleum Introductory Training, also known as PIT Stop, is an annual program designed to educate newly-hired CountryMark and member cooperative employees about proprietary CountryMark products and services. The program is also offered to more seasoned employees wishing to refresh their knowledge of the energy industry.

Held in Evansville, Indiana, PIT Stop provides participants with technical expertise that will help them better serve their fuel and lubricant customers.

“For more than 30 years CountryMark has been hosting this,” said Jon Lantz, CountryMark Vice President of Marketing. “We think it is valuable to show new employees what makes CountryMark fuels unique and different in the marketplace.

By Pam Robinson Already well-positioned on the information highway, the New Harmony Business Associates took action on Tuesday to stand out on the asphalt highway, namely the I-64 corridor. The group became the first Indiana community to take advantage of the state’s blue signage for the category, “antique and artisan district.” The blue signs will appear both east and west at Exit 4 on I-64 to highlight New Harmony’s rich culture.

Cindy Smotherman, President of the New Harmony Business Associates and owner of Firehouse Antiques, believes along with her colleagues that the blue signs will help redirect traffic to New Harmony lost to the closing of the New Harmony Bridge.

“There are so many more cars on the interstate,” she comments. “With the bridge closed, we hope to guide some of them in to New Harmony.”

Indeed, Jim Stinson, another member of the New Harmony Business Associates, pro-

vides statistics to support Smotherman.

“We lost 1,000 vehicles per day crossing the bridge,” says Stinson, owner of the Old Rooming House and additional real estate in New Harmony. “We stand to gain the business of 14,000 vehicles per day traveling I-64. This signage will help us turn tragedy into triumph.”

Staying true blue to New Harmony doesn’t come cheap. The New Harmony Business Associates are paying Indiana Logo, the company in partnership with the state of Indiana for overseeing highway signs, an initial cost of $1,633 for the manufacture and placement of the blue attraction signs in addition to an initial monthly rental fee of $161.50.

“It’s about the cost of a billboard,” clarifies Smotherman. “We are hoping other entities in the community will decide to contract for attraction signs in other categories, such as religion or culture, and help us to promote New Harmony.”

Foot races and cannon fire occupy MV Board of Works

By Pam Robinson The Mount Vernon Board of Public Works and Safety approved activities for two public events at its Thursday, August 9, meeting.

unteers will be stationed at intersections.

In addition, the board approved the use of “cannon fire” from .44 magnum pistols loaded with blanks to serve as the finale to the Wolfgang Orchestra’s playing of the “1812 Overture” at River Days, the second weekend in September.

The Mount Vernon Board of Public Works and Safety will meet again Thursday, August 23, 2012, at City Hall Annex, 4 p.m.

OPINION

Golden years can combine experience with joy if you allow it A lot has been made over the past several years about “the Golden Years.” But as I get ever closer to the Golden Years, I am beginning to wonder just how much truth there is to what I have been hearing. It only stands to reason that the longer something is around, the better the chance that something is going to go wrong with it. I am beginning to learn about a lot of these things both first and second-hand. In the car business, the primary reasons that people choose to trade in their older cars for a newer one is that they worry that something major could go wrong with it be-

cause it is getting older. The second most popular reason

TRUTH...

STRANGER THAN FICTION

BY DAVE PEARCE is that the body become dinged and dented and they get tired of it and want to get something shiney and new.

Life is a lot like that. As we get older, chances are things are going to go wrong. The worse the problem, the more expensive the fix. However, trading our bodies in for a

newer model is just not an option so we are stuck with attempting to “drive this one till the wheels fall off of it.”

As I continue the aging process, it seems like I am spending more time at hospitals and funeral homes.

Seems like scarcely a week passes that either someone I know and love becomes ill or I lose a friend. Just in the past few weeks, my fatherin-law has had his coloon removed and got home from the hospital just in time for my mother-in-law to go in with a blood clot in her leg. My 87-year-old aunt in Cincinnati was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and had

Posey County residents can lighten up on energy and costs with ‘Energizing Indiana’ Posey County residents may lower their energy costs while supporting their favorite local charity just by scheduling a home energy assessment with ‘Energizing Indiana.’

The program is a united effort by participating utilities, LIVING such as Vectren, to promote energy efficiency and to FOR THE bring savings to communities JOURNEY across the state. Through the BY PAM end of next year, ‘Energizing ROBINSON Indiana’ hopes to make a difference in the quality of life for Hoosiers.

Jim and I scheduled our home energy assessment just a couple of weekends ago. The appointment scheduler keeps a list of participating local charities that will receive a $25 donation from ‘Energizing Indiana’ at the request of the resident. We designated, for example, Family Matters of Posey County as our charity. So far, so good, we thought.

This program sets up a win-win situation for consumers and their favorite causes.

Our energy advisor, Stacy, arrived on a Saturday at 8 a.m., just as we had asked, and walked through our home with us in about an hour. At the end of her visit, she printed out her suggestions for improving our home’s energy efficiency. The visit cost us nothing but our time.

Stacy broke the ice by providing us with a free kit of home improvements: nine CFLs to replace some of our old light bulbs, three low-flow faucet aerators and two low-flow showerheads (1.5 gpm). She even installed all of them for nothing. Likewise, she wrapped our hot water pipe at no charge.

Had we owned an electric water heater, Stacy would have provided free insulation wrap. As it was, she turned down the hot water thermostat to 120 degrees. She as-

surgery just this week. My friend Susie Carroll is fighting cancer as is a number of other people I know and respect. One of my dearest friends lost her battle with cancer just last week while another has been diagnosed with another type of cancer on her face. She’s looking at a long hard fight.

It’s a fact that we are not going to get out of this world alive so as I get older, I like to see friends and families enjoying each others’ company. Those times that we get to spend with the people who mean the most to us are infrequent and usually don’t last very long. I was a party to one of those times on Sunday and it made a lasting impression on me.

As Kevin Wassmer was making history by winning his tenth Evansville Courier City Golf Championship, I stood back and watched as friends and family gathered at the Evansville Country Club. I watched as people enjoyed the warm August weather and took the opportunity to watch history being made. Members of Wassmer’s North Posey

High School golf team walked all 18 holes wearing shirts in support of their coach and their friend.

Kevin’s entire family was on hand to watch as his steady play earned him his record title. His mother and father watched tearfully as he sunk the final putt on the 18th hole and the emotions of that moment began to show.

Tears of mixed emotions flowed down the face of the ever-steady and tough Wassmer as he completed his round. It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime precious moments the Wassmers were able to share as a family. I felt honored just to witness the event, as did several others I heard commenting as many hung around long after the trophy had been presented.

But despite the fact that the older we get, the better the chance of something going wrong with us, we have no guarantees of tomorrow. As a matter of fact, we have no guarantees of another moment. So please, do yourself a favor and enjoy those times you get to

sured me my dishes would still come clean.

She told the truth, and now I don’t suffer as much from dishpan hands. (Jim and I don’t own an automatic dishwasher, unless a person would bestow that title on our teenage daughter Jessica.)

Stacy encouraged us to have insulation blown into our attic to keep our home cooler in summer and to prevent our heat from escaping in winter. Of course, the real bonus is savings on the utility bill. For income qualified residents, ‘Energizing Indiana’ will go so far as to pay the cost of attic insulation.

Jim and I have also turned our thermostat up to 75 degrees as opposed to 72 degrees for cooling. Eventually, we want to work our way up to 78 degrees, as Stacy recommended. The adjustment takes some getting used to, but the tradeoff for a lower utility bill is a definite reward.

We consider the visit a huge success.

Stacy was nonintrusive as she stuck to her agenda of helping us save energy and money and worked efficiently. She told us we were helping to energize Indiana through the small changes we made and were with the program in our energy use. We ought to earn an energy star once we have our attic insulated this fall.

Besides its residential program, ‘Energizing Indiana’ offers commercial and industrial programs as well as school programs. For full program details and requirements, those interested may visit www.energizingindiana.com or call 888-446-7750. Participants will see that ‘Energizing Indiana’ lives up State clears Sen. Tomes on tax issue to its promise, ‘Together we’ll do powerful Mr. Pearce, things.’

Recently you ran a listing of persons with outstanding tax warrants on file with the County Clerk. One taxpayer, James Tomes, was incorrectly issued a warrant for taxes owed from 2011. The warrant was issued incorrectly and

spend with your friends and family. Look for the good in one another. There’s plenty of people to point out the bad in each and every one of us.

Do yourself and all your acquaintances a favor. Enjoy your time with them and look for the best in them. Don’t be afraid to point out the positives.

It won’t hurt a thing.

There’s another old saying that I hear repeated once in awhile but it seems like I don’t hear it as much anymore. “It is better to give than to receive.” I think we have done a poor job of passing that message down from the last generation to this one. But if we can show the younger generation the joy that comes with giving, we will be doing them a great service. They are smart enough to pick up on things. If you show them the joy that comes with doing things for others, you will be giving them an opportunity that they otherwise would not have had.

So like I have also heard...

Do it for yourself, but also for them!

State Sen. Tomes’ wrongful tax issue resolved

Gavel Gamut’s ‘Diaper Dandies’ Peg and I have been watching the Olympics; actually, since we turn them on about 8:00 p.m. when we go to bed, Peg is the only one who sees anything. And she hears nothing, or so she claims, due to the droning next to her.

Be that as it may, I have noticed the Olympics is becoming much like Merlin; instead of the contestants aging they youthen. Female gymnasts appear to best represent today’s fierce competitors.

Their average age is about fifteen, or so it seems to me.

And what we might call child abuse in court is called going for the gold. I don’t know about you, but if some large older person had ordered me at age fifteen to do a back flip on a four inch wide balance beam, I would have turned them in to the Department

of Family and Children Services. Such activities are far scarier than playing

GAVEL GAMUT

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE football or boxing. How do they avoid landing on their heads or cracking their backs?

Then there are the allknowing and highly critical analysts who critique these children courting danger. If a gymnast steps one inch out of bounds or bobbles slightly on a landing, these experts (who are almost always has-been gymnasts) pounce on these prepubescent punching bags with feigned concern and obvious glee.

But, in the analysts’

defense it should be noted they usually are left-overs from the last Olympics so some of them are not old enough to vote either. Do you really identify with these eighth graders competing in and commenting on events the ancient Greeks modified from war?

Do the names Althea Gibson and Jesse Owens and Jim Thorpe even come to mind? Alas, I know these folks have all passed on.

But before they left us, they had, at least, reached adulthood before being placed in adult situations at the Olympic Games.

When I watch these young girls cry upon not achieving everlasting fame I think the old folks who put them in these paradoxical situations should, at a minimum, provide some consolation prizes; perhaps a GI Joe or Barbie Doll might be appropriate.

As you may or may not have seen, my name recently appeared on a list of Posey County residents with outstanding tax warrants. Unfortunately, I was incorrectly added to this list after my tax preparer mistakenly named my county of residency as Vanderburgh rather than Posey County, causing the Indiana Department of Revenue (IDOR) to believe I owed $68 more than I really did.

Although my wife and I immediately notified the IDOR of the error — we had paid our taxes correctly — and my tax preparer sent in an amendment per the department’s request, the issue was not immediately resolved. In fact, I recently received another letter, this time from the county sheriff’s office, alerting me of the outstanding tax warrant.

While we knew we had paid our taxes correctly, Margie and I went ahead and sent in the extra $68 to eliminate the wrongful warrant. At the same time, we contacted IDOR officials regarding the growing issue, and they agreed to meet with us at the Statehouse on Wednesday, Aug. 1.

Upper level officials with the IDOR were very willing to recognize the mistake made on their part in not processing the amend-

Rep. McNamara must sell the voters I feel sorry for Wendy McNamara. As the current representative for Indiana House district 76, she was persuaded to vote for legislation that was the brass ring of House speaker Brian Bosma while being against the wishes of the people of her district. Now she is faced with the undesirable task of trying to sell the law to folks in her district if she even hopes to stand a chance of getting re-elected. I am of coarse speaking of Indiana’s new right to work law.

Voters in district 76 were bombarded this week with a tax payer funded propaganda flyer sent by Ms. McNamara that tried to promote the law as the next best thing to sliced bread.

Anyone who looks past the fluff and digs into the claims can see a glaring problem. No new jobs are coming to Indiana because of the law.

Bosma and company promised jobs waiting at the state line as soon as the legislation was passed. They even went so far as to say the law needed to be on the Governor’s desk be-

ment sent for my taxes to fix the residency error. As it turns out, there are other Hoosiers who have been overlooked on this very same issue, and top IDOR officials are now taking the initiative to work toward eliminating the problem for future taxpayers. They confirmed that I should be receiving a $68 reimbursement soon.

While the processing error was an unfortunate event, I am very grateful officials have now detected a problem and are willing to fix it. In a sense, I’m glad this happened to me because, while I did not receive special treatment, I was still able to be an influence for improvements to be made within the department.

I want to thank IDOR Deputy Director of Tax Policy Shane Corbin and Agent Supervisor Mary McNutt for their help in righting this wrong, not only for me but for other Hoosiers as well. I also encourage residents here in Posey County and throughout Southwestern Indiana to remember they can contact me with state issues of their own. I’m always willing to listen and help when I can.

Sincerely, State Senator Jim Tomes

fore the super bowl because the companies could not wait any longer. Now that the new jobs did not materialize, they have resorted to claiming expansion at existing companies is a result of right to work.

When you ask any business owner why they choose to expand their answer is a demand for their product. I have done this and encourage anyone to do the same. Without a buyer of widgets, the company cannot survive. Politicians taking credit for the success of businesses is an insult to all those who make a good or provide a service. The notion that a company expands at an existing location simply because politicians pass an anti-worker law doesn’t make sense.

The role of any elected official is to represent the will of those who voted for them.

Wendy McNamara failed that test and is now hoping the voters forget. Wendy, you have my pity.

Wassmer now atop leader board with tenth title

By Dave Pearce If you spend much time around Poseyville’s Kevin Wassmer, you will learn there are three important things in his life.

He is passionate about his family, his community, and his golf.

On Sunday afternoon, Wassmer was able to enjoy one of those rare moments in your life when you are able to blend all three. It was a day he will never forget and neither will the golfing world around Evansville.

Many members of the Poseyville community as well as Wassmer’s North Posey girls’ golf team walked the final 18 holes.

Then with most of his family present, including his mother Sue who is battling cancer, it was an emotional afternoon as Wassmer attempted to break the record of nine Evansville City Golf Championships he shared with long-time friend Jerry Schreiber.

Wassmer took a two-stroke lead into the final round at Evansville County Club. Then, with a three stroke lead, his second shot on the par 4 17th hole rolled to within about 10 feet. When Wassmer calmly sunk the putt for

a birdie and a four-stroke lead with one hole to go, the only thing remaining to be decided was not who would win the tournament but by how many strokes.

Ironically, It would be an emotional Shreiber who would make the trophy presentation to Wassmer. Former Evansville Courier Editor Paul McCauliff introduced the men by stating that many had wondered if Wassmer would ever be able to break Schreiber’s record of nine city titles.

“He answered that question today,” McCauliff said. Handing the microphone to Schreiber.

“You’re a special player, big guy,” Schreiber told Wassmer. Even tournament director Bob Walther was seen shedding tears as the torch or a new record was handed down to Wassmer. Wassmer was asked to say a few words, admittedly not something he is comfortable doing.

“I can tell you right now, don’t expect much,” Wassmer said, as he regrouped from the emotional win. “I want to thank all the golf courses because they were all in tremen-

Just after sinking the final putt on hole number 18 to win the Evansville Courier and Press City Golf Championship for a record tenth time, Poseyville’s Kevin Wassmer celebrates as his

dous shape.”

Wassmer then turned his attention to runner-up and former Mater Dei golfer Nick Frazer who pushed Wassmer throughout the tournament.

“Nice playing our there Nick,” Wassmer congratulated the man, 20 years his junior. “I know this is not what you wanted but you really hung in there. I want to thank my family, especially my mom who isn’t feeling well today but came out here anyhow.

And then he turned the attention to his family and tanked all members of his family for making the effort to be there to share his special day.

Following the formal presentation, Wassmer was asked if he thought this minute would ever occur, since his last tournament win was in 2007.

“I never really was playing badly, it just seemed like I could never put it all together,” Wassmer said. “Even this year I struggled with it a little bit but I was able to hit more good shots and hang in there. I guess that was the difference.”

Wassmer was asked just how special it was knowing that he is the all-time recordholder for the event and with everything going on, he replied that it honestly had not even sunk in yet.

“I just don’t know what to say,” Wassmer continued. “I never really thought it would happen. I just want everybody to know how much I appreciate it.”

Wassmer had nothing but adoration for the man who presented the trophy to him.

“Jerry means so very much to all of us. He has taught me a whole lot not only about golf but also about life and to be a man.,” Wassmer said. “He taught me how to grow up and how to grow my golf game. For everything he has been to this tournament, I just hope I can do it as well as he has.”

At only 47, it is conceivable that Wassmer could add to his record total. The opportunity to play on the Senior tour when Wassmer turns 50 in three years was also mentioned.

But on Sunday, it was just about enjoying the moment along with his family, his community, and his golf.

Vikings show depth, room for improvement in scrimmage

By Dave Pearce By all accounts, the North Posey Vikings are getting respect early before this year’s football season begins. Most believe the Vikings are going to be a pretty good football team before the season is over. Part of that is due to the amount of returning experience. Optimism can also be attributed to sheer numbers and a large group of upperclassmen.

On Friday night at Heritage Hills, North Posey Viking Coach Joe Gengelbach took advantage of the scrimmage to get a look at nearly everyone one the roster. And while he admitted that it is usually not a good idea to scrimmage a team that you will play in the conference in five or six weeks, Gengelbach believes the Patriots were the right team to scrimmage this year.

“Anytime you get an opportunity to scrimmage against a team with the reputation and history of a Heritage Hills, it can tell you in a hurry some of the things you need to work on,” Gengelbach said after the scrimmage. “There were some things we did correctly and then we had some people doing some things I think we need to work on. It was mostly just us not being in the right spot. Besides, both we and they will be totally different teams when we face off against each other in five or six weeks.”

Gengelbach was mostly positive to his players following the scrimmage but aimed a bit of criticism at some of his experienced upperclassmen.

“By this time some of you guys, as old as you are and as much as you have played, out to be able to get in the right spot so you can make the plays,” Gengelbach said matter-offactly. “There were some passes that were completed because we did not drop and were too tight to the line of scrimmage.

And I think we can be better up front than we were tonight.

We have to be able to control the line of scrimmage. If we can’t control the line of scrimmage and they have all day to throw the ball, it is hard to cover the receivers. If they dent the line of scrimmage on us, they can run the ball and make it hard on the secondary people and the linebackers. We have to get tougher mentally on those types of things.”

Offensively, Gengelbach liked a lot of what he saw, especially considering the fact that so many players were seeing repetitions.

“We have a few things we need to clean up on but overall we had some good plays out there.” Gengelbach said. “But we have to remember that this coming Friday is when it actu-

ally counts, when we go up to South Spencer. We have a week to clean things up.”

Gengelbach said he thought the team was physical and came off the ball and made contact but believes the team, as a whole, can improve their tackling. However, the key again is knowing where you have to be to make the play and being there on time.

“We did fairly well but we have got to get a while lot better,” Gengelbach told the team cautiously. “If you want to go where we are talking about going, we are going to have to get a whole lot better.”

Gengelbach saod he saw several positives but that should be expected from a team with the experience the Vikings have coming back this year.

“What is nice about this type of thing is that we can use it as a learning situation,” Gengelbach said. “We can’t be thinking about where we need to be. We have to get there and know where the people are we are covering. We found some things we need to work on but overall, I thought our kids played physical. Hopefully we will keep a good positive attitude and we can get better each week.”

The big numbers in the junior and senior class could provide the Vikings with some depth they have not had in the past few years.

“I believe we have some depth,” he said. “We played an awful lot of kids tonight. We have about 27 or 28 juniors and seniors and all those kids played a lot. I thought they all played aggressive and as long as they are willing to play hard and are willing to listen, we can do some things to help them get better.”

Alec Werry didn’t take as many snaps at quarterback as some fans thought but Gengelbach left no doubt who his No. 1 guy is at the helm after Friday’s scrimmage.

“I know a lot of people are asking about James Marshall and he is a good, very athletic kid and he will play a lot for us this year,” Gengelbach said. “But I thought Alec did a great job when he was in there. The good thing is we have two good kids who will work hard and work in different places and they will both be OK. I thought they both played well tonight.”

Aside from the 27 juniors, this years team has 19 sophomores to account for one of the largest (in terms of numbers) teams North Posey has had in a long time.

“For us that is a lot of kids and that’s a great plus for us,” Gengelbach concluded.

MVHS swim team chooses to donate to Riley Children’s Hospital

Breast cancer awareness game Saturday The Mount Vernon soccer field will be “in the pink” again Saturday as the soccer Lady Wildcats will hold their annual breast cancer recognition game.

The 10 a.m. contest against Pike Central will also serve as the Lady Cats’ home opener, and will be followed by a 12 noon boys’ contest between Mount Vernon and Heritage Hills.

Breast cancer survivors in the audience will be recognized at halftime of the girls’ game, approximately 10:45 a.m. Players whose families have been affected by the disease will honor their loved ones at this time.

Lady Vikings shoot down Central The North Posey girls’ golf team started their week by out shooting visiting Central 177-206 Tuesday at Cambridge.

Caitlin Beheme’s 41 led all scorers, but she was the lone Lady Bear shooting in the 40s, while just about everyone on North Posey hit the 40s, at least the ones who counted on the team score.

Maggie Camp paced the Lady Vikings with a 42, one stroke behind Behme, while Allison Koester wasn’t too far behind with a 43. Taylor Patton (45) and Kendall Crowder (47) rounded out the North Posey foursome.

Two more matches for Lady Cats The Mount Vernon girls’ golf team faced two more full teams last week, traveling to Fendrich for a match against Signature and then hosting North Thursday.

The Lady Huskies shot a 156 against Mount Vernon, which did not have enough golfers for a team in either match. Signature carded a 192.

Hayley Salaman shot a 61 for the Lady Wildcats, while Brooke Guinn carded a 65.

Lindsay Beyers and Kelsie Droste each fired 37s to pace North.

Against Signature, Salaman shot a 59 and Guinn a 64.

It’s full steam ahead for fall sports

by Steve Joos Summer is over and school is back in session, as far as the sports schedule is concerned.

The Posey County fall high school sports season kicks off this week. Girls golf has already been playing for about three weeks.

Things will be much different this year, as there are only two schools in the county due to the closing of New Harmony, but the agenda will almost be as busy.

North Posey’s volleyball team opened its season under new coach Natalie Barnard Monday night, and most of the other programs in the county will kick off their respective campaign by the end of the week.

When one thinks of the fall, one thinks of football and the high school gridiron campaign kicks off Friday night with both county schools on the road. Mount Vernon will be at Tell City, while North
