Time to celebrate: Grain, barge $32M expansion finished

By Dave Pearce For early August, it was a pleasant day Wednesday as a large crowd gathered at Consolidated Grain and Barge in Mount Vernon to celebrate the corporate announcement that the $32 million expansion at its soybean processing facility at the Port of Indiana-Mount Vernon is finished.

CGB President and CEO Kevin Adams and CGB Senior Vice President Steve O’Nan joined Port of Indiana-Mount Vernon Port Director Phil Wilzbacher to welcome the expansion that will increase servicing opportunities for Indiana’s soybean farmers and increase product supply for agribusiness customers.

“We announced our expansion plan here in the fall of 2016 because we were excited about growth opportunities at this Mount Vernon location,” said Adams. “This investment means we will remain competitive in this

global economy and it underscores our commitment to remain an essential partner in the Indiana agricultural community.”

Posey County Commissioner President Jim Alsop, who was on hand at the opening, expressed his excitement for the plant and the community.

The Grand Re-Opening of the CGB Soybean Processing plant at the Port of Indiana –Mount Vernon after an approximate $32 million investment is another example of a global company’s commitment to investing in Posey County,” Alsop said Wednesday.

“Posey County’s availability of rail, river and road modes of shipping both raw materials to the facility and finished products from the facility were instrumental in CGB initially locating at the Port of Indiana – Mount Vernon and their additional investments over the years.

Commissioners OK contract for sewer district

By Heather Allyn At the Posey County Commissioners meeting on Tuesday, August 7, Posey County Councilman and president of the Posey County Regional Sewer District Aaron Wilson requested that Commissioners agree to a contract between the Sewer District and Wessler Engineering. The agreement would be to complete work toward a Sewer Treatment Plant to be located at

SR62 and south Indian Mounds Road. The contract would also include completing a district-wide study to determine the future needs of Posey County.

According to Wilson, the Indiana Finance Authority has committed to providing $30,000 to help offset the cost completing the district’s plan. The Sewer District is currently working with five landowners for easements for the planned sewer treat-

ment plant on Indian Mounds Road. The easements are estimated to cost the county $2,500 to $5,000 per landowner or free tap-in fees for those landowners once the facility is ready. Astra Zeneca has already expressed an interest in utilizing the sewer treatment plant as soon as it is operational.

The commissioners voted to approve the contract with Wessler Engineering so that the Regional Sewer District can move for-

ward with proposed plans.

The circuit court asked for an update on the status of Judge Jim Redwine’s request to have furniture refinished at a cost of approximately $22,000. Commission President Jim Alsop explained that with current needs such as the energy savings plan and the construction of a salt and sand building

By Dave Pearce Residents of Cynthiana will soon be required to pay their water bills in a more timely fashion. During Wednesday’s meeting of the Cynthiana Town Council, the board approved a move that gives customers less time to pay the water bills once issued. Town employee Debbie Seaton indicated that no other towns in the area give residents as long to make good on their water bills.

“We have to pay German Township for the water and we have to play Poseyville for the sewer and they want their money when it is due,” Seaton told the board. “That is the only source of revenue we have to pay our bills and our bills have to be paid.”

The new shut-off date will be 15 days after the end of the month. The announcement will be printed on the upcoming bills and will go into effect with the October bills.

Seaton indicated that if lines of communication are open and there is a legitimate problem, the town is willing to work with customers during a hardship.

During the citizen’s comments portion of the meeting, members of the council as

well as the town attorney Jason Spindler indicated that a time limit of two minutes will be placed on individuals questioning the clean-up and water ordinances that have now been in place for several months.

Board president Todd Kennedy told those in attendance that the ordinances have been passed for the betterment of the town and that they will be enforced. The discussion phase of the ordinances has long since come and gone.

Resident Rex Yarbor was present and indicated that he recently had a running vehicle tagged by local police.

“Your continuation is getting monotonous with my business,” Yarbor exclaimed.

“This is an ordinance that has been going on for months,” Kennedy told those in attendance. “As long as this board is sitting, the ordinance is not going to be changed.”

Yarbor also indicated that there are two water meters on his property and he believes at least one of them is abandoned.

He indicated that he would like to have the meters removed because the lids come off them each time he attempts to mow. The

MSDMV sees student enrollment increase

By Pam Robinson MSD of Mount Vernon Superintendent Tom Kopatich announced an increase in enrollment for the school district during the Mount Vernon School Board meeting, Monday, August 6. Last year, he stated, enrollment peaked at 1,943 students, He said 2,015 students had enrolled to start the 2018-19 academic year with additional students expected to enroll.

He noted the new enrollment number places the school district close to its goal of enrolling 2,033 students. The jump came primarily, Kopatich said, from increased kindergarten and junior high enrollment.

Another highlight came as the Mount Vernon School Board approved the partnership between the MSD of Mount Vernon and the City of Mount Vernon for

the School Resources Officer, or SRO, program. Board member Beth McFadin Higgins asked it be noted for the record she abstained from the vote since she reviewed the contract for the City of Mount Vernon.

Supt. Kopatich announced Sgt. Leo Gonzalez with the Mount Vernon Police Department has been appointed as the new SRO and will be stationed in an office at Mount Vernon High School, or MVHS. Kopatich stressed the new SRO had received training and had attended school safety meetings to prepare for his role. Sgt. Gonzalez will report from the first day of school to the end of school—180 days—Kopatich said, and then he will work different types of jobs with the Mount Vernon Police De-

Mount Vernon faculty gather for breakfast

By Pam Robinson The Mount Vernon High School cafeteria was packed for the Back-to-School Breakfast hosted Tuesday, August 7, by the MSD of Mount Vernon for the school district’s teachers and teacher assistants. Director of Business and Technology, Loren Evans, welcomed the group with a prayer before he turned over the festivities to Superintendent Tom Kopatich.

Kopatich kept his remarks brief to allow teachers and teacher assistants to finish preparing their classrooms for the start of school the next day, August 8. The five school board members were all there to show their support for the school district’s educators — for the seventh year running, Kopatich said: Kathy Weinzapfel (President), Mark Isaac (Vice President), Joe Rutledge (Secretary), Beth McFadin Higgins, and Don Julian.

Driving etiquette

A T M

B B R

I spend a fair amount of time in my car, for my job, as a volunteer, visiting friends and family, or participating in a variety of events that interest me. While driving, I do my best to follow the rules of the road. Mostly, I do a pretty good job. I’m not perfect, but I try. I am always amazed, however, at how other drivers seem to have missed learning – and applying – those same rules. How, I think to myself, did they ever get their drivers licenses???

There is a YouTube video that an Indiana State Police trooper has ďŹ lmed. In it, the trooper explains the workings of an interesting, standard feature found on all automobiles. He explains, “To the left of the steering wheel is a stick. This is a turn signal.â€? He goes on to explain that not only it the right thing to do, the legal thing to do, but it is courteous to use the turn signal.

How many times have you been behind a vehicle that suddenly veers to the right or left - no turn signal – leaving you to slam on your brakes or causing you to have to veer o to miss hitting them. Really, people? The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles Driver’s Manual speciďŹ es the distance needed to properly signal your intention to turn. And it’s not as you are making that 90 degree turn left or right. Common courtesy, folks, and safety, too: use your turn signal!

(And if you have a computer, check out the video – it is a great tongue-in-check response to a very real issue!)

Another pet peeve of mine is when a car is passing you on the left, suddenly turns back in front of you, and then immediately makes a right turn. Never mind that they have probably known for the last ten miles

that they were going to turn. A little planning, please. I know, I know, traďŹƒc was bad and you thought you could get over sooner, or there was construction going on that kept you from moving over sooner, or your soft drink spilled all over your lap.

Try to do better, OK??

And what about funeral processions? Did you know there is a law in Indiana covering this issue? Indiana law gives funeral processions the right-of-way at intersections when headlights are lit. The lead vehicle must comply with stop signs and traďŹƒc lights, but once it has done so, all the following vehicles can proceed without stopping, provided they exercise due caution. Also, the procession must yield to an approaching emergency vehicle or when directed by a police oďŹƒcer. Vehicles not in the procession cannot enter it unless directed by a police oďŹƒcer and other vehicles cannot join the procession and turn on their headlights in order to gain the right-of-way granted to the procession. The lead vehicle in the procession must have alternatively ashing red and blue lights. As for courtesy, I appreciate, and personally practice, pulling over when a funeral procession is in the oncoming lane of traďŹƒc. As a driver, be aware of the signs that you are encountering a funeral procession. This is essential because you need to know how to show respect and honor the event, over and above the law.

One of these days, you might ďŹ nd yourself participating in a funeral procession, so follow the Golden Rule and treat the mourners the way you would want to be treated if you’d just lost someone you cared about. If you encounter cars with mourners, be polite, pull over, and wait for them to pass before proceeding.

Then there is the driver who tailgates.

They get so close you can see the whites of

ing child in their seat. But 1) It’s the law, folks, and 2) It’s about the kids. Keep them safe. They learn from you, so be sure you buckle up, too, every single time you get in the car.

How do I handle these pet peeves?

Colorful language that no one else can hear, unless I have a passenger; I apologize. I can share my thoughts with the space in my vehicle, vent my feelings to the radio station, and fuss as long as I feel like it. No problem – the other driver can’t hear me, so I’m not causing a potential road rage situation. And I feel so much better. Am I going to change the behavior of other drivers? Probably not.

But I try, every time I drive, to follow the laws and to be a courteous driver. I’m sure you have a pet peeve or two about drivers, as well. Let’s share stories sometime. In the meantime, let’s be safe out there on the road. And that’s all that matters.

Guest Opinion: Michael Dora, USDA Rural Development State Director An Urgent Announcement from USDA

PC Sheriff’s Night Out huge success WOW!!! What a wonderful night was enjoyed by all those who attended the Eighth Annual Posey County Sheri’s Nightout!!! Just want to say “Thank Youâ€? from Sheri Greg Oeth and myself to everyone who braved the threat of rain which thankfully didn’t appear, and came out to Cynthiana Town Park on Tuesday August 7. Once again the residents of Posey County came out to meet and greet our county’s ďŹ nest law enforcement oďŹƒcers from the Posey County Sheri’s OďŹƒce, Town of Cynthiana, Town of Poseyville and the Indiana State Police. How great to see the community come and enjoy the night with family and friends.

Have you ever parked your car to go shopping – for groceries, shoes, toilet paper, whatever – and come back to ďŹ nd that someone has parked in the space next to you, leaving about enough room for a sheet of paper for you to open your door? Come on, please! There are fourteen other spaces in the parking lot, and you choose to park that close to me? I feel so special – NOT! A really scary situation is seeing children who are not properly restrained. It’s up to the driver of the vehicle to ensure that the kids are safe. Yes, it’s sometimes a pain to get them all buckled in properly. It’s not fun to try to get a kicking, screaming, ail-

Kona Ice which all the kids, young and old enjoyed!! Other new sponsors were Hawg ‘N Sauce, Showplace Cinema North Park, Eastside and Westside locations, and the Evansville Otters!!!

Again thanks to everyone for making it another success.

Not long ago, the United States was a world leader in infrastructure investments.

Federal and private funding helped even the most remote communities obtain electricity, running water and access to the rest of the world through telecommunications.

However, recent years have not followed the same trend, and too many rural communities have been left behind. The need for improvement is great, especially for rural water and wastewater systems.

To put this in perspective, the American Water Works Association estimates that more than $600 billion is needed over the next 20 years to upgrade our nation’s water and wastewater systems. Unfortunately, many small and rural water systems lack access to aordable ďŹ nancing.

But there is hope for the future. This year, USDA Rural Development has more than $4 billion in direct loans available now to help rural communities build or upgrade water infrastructure. This is a substantial increase from last year. In 2017, USDA helped more than 2.5 million rural residents get access to upgraded water and wastewater systems. I am excited to see how many more people we can help with this unprecedented funding opportunity.

I encourage rural community leaders and water district operators to apply now for this assistance before the Sept. 30 deadline. USDA state and ďŹ eld oďŹƒces are great resources to use during the application pro-

cess, and we have technical assistance providers with water and waste expertise that can help complete rural communities’ applications.

USDA’s support for rural water infrastructure is already making a big impact. In Indiana, we have utilized the water and environmental programs with much success.

For example, our agency recently awarded the Town of North Judson funding totaling $4,892,000 to convert a portion of the town’s combined sewer collection system into separate sanitary and storm sewers. The town is currently under an agreed order with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. This project is part of the town’s Long-Term Control Plan and is the result of a Rural Development Pre-planning Grant; and awarded the Town of Kingman funding totaling $3,135,000 to upgrade a wastewater collection system and treatment plant. The system serves the 484 residents of the town and is dealing with health and sanitary issues.

Water districts and rural communities can apply for USDA loans electronically using the interactive RD Apply tool, you can contact me directly at michael.dora@in.usda. gov or (317) 295-5760, or reach out to one of our ďŹ eld sta.

USDA is eager to partner with you in this eort to modernize water infrastructure in our state’s rural communities.

Peg’s motto: Jim’s labor omnia vincit

B J

J R

This famous Latin phrase, “Work Conquers All�, was originally a piece of propaganda used by the Roman poet Virgil (70 BC-19 BC) in his poem Georgics to curry favor with the Roman emperor Augustus (63 BC- 14 AD). Augustus wanted to encourage Roman citizens to quit their enjoyable lives of drinking wine and discussing politics to take up the hard work of farming. Peg, and maybe your spouse too, has carried on this tradition.

In the beginning were the innocent sounding words, “Jim, are you taking a vacation this summer?�

I thoughtlessly replied, “I dunno, why?� “Oh, I just thought we could spend some time together

at the Ranch, relax and catch up on some things.� “Sounds good, I’ll check my docket.� Unfortunately it wasn’t too busy. I aimlessly proceeded into Peg’s nefarious Inferno.

Wives and husbands see “relaxing� and “catching up on things� from different perspectives, kinda like foxes and roosters might see dinner. The first two weeks of August were anticipated by me to be a bucolic period of connecting with the deer, fish, wild turkeys and even the pesky raccoons around JPeg Ranch. What could be wrong with some time spent with my feet up and a good book or a cool beverage to lull me to sleep on a lazy summer afternoon?

Ask Peg! “Since you are home with nothing to do would you mind ‌?â€? Yep, the dreaded LIST! Peg had been secretly workO M

ing on it since spring. I had no idea our home was near the point of complete collapse from chores undone, by me, of course. Immediate action was called for. What wasn’t called for, or allowed, was propped up feet.

Now one need not be mentally exhausted from reading or relating a seriatim rundown of the physically exhausting chores that stood between “relax� and utter destruction of our home. Their actual completion was punishment enough. Suffice it to say that from tilling the garden, to reorganizing my stacks of half-finished projects from years past, my vacation morphed from pastoral pleasure to a yearning for a return to Court. I’ll be there Monday!

Making a will

B C P

Madeleine, your grandfather and I recently did something that our grown children have nagged us about for a long time. Getting acquainted with attorney Craig Goedde when he donated a bike to PC Pound Puppies to be raed o seemed like the perfect time to do this.

It isn’t like we have a lot of wealth to distribute, and I don’t foresee any arguments about this. There are many other decisions that we want to have recorded in a legal paper. For the items of true value, all our children will share equally.

We wanted to make sure that we would not be hooked up to respirators if all hope of life was gone. This might be a hard thing for my kids to decide and I would not want them to feel any guilt.

We both want to be cremated, and I am not sure if everyone would agree about this.

Even though we will avoid the funeral home “showing,� we hope that a memorial gathering will be held at the Silver Bell, with all the same things that typically go on, anyway. A slide show of photos, speakers, and the telling of many memories should happen.

As far as our ashes, we will leave instructions about that. As I have mentioned before, I want to have a portion of them be turned into a “snow globe�, which is really just a beautiful glass orb.

Go on a little drive and take the rest to the places I have lived in Posey County.

Grandpa says he doesn’t care, so he can

just go with you on the little trip.

There are a few things I want to list and say where they should end up. Madeleine, I have always said that you will get the gold eagle that has been around my neck for more than 30 years. If, for some reason, you should change your mind, it goes to Issabella. Various other items that have been in the family for generations should go to whomever will protect them and pass them along.

One of my most stressful concerns is about the pets. They should be given a lot of consideration, hopefully without making them have a horrible shock to their lives. We hear about this happening a lot. PC Pound Puppies sometimes must ďŹ nd a new home for a senior dog, when their beloved master passes away.

It is very sad. I am most worried about the parrots. They do not handle change very well.

I am sure that everyone had seen the countless movies when family members are summoned for the reading of someone’s will. This is always a scene ďŹ lled with drama, and unexpected things are mentioned. Some young person inherits everything, but there are “conditionsâ€?.

In the end, it turns their life around in some way. Older greedy relatives are shocked and angry.

I have seen this happen in my own family. When my beloved Aunt Ella passed away, there was, indeed, a huge argument after the reading of the will.

Her modest funds were divided between me and my mother. Ella’s brother, James, had showed up with his wife, Marge, expecting money to be coming their way. They were so angry they did

not even stay for the funeral, and never contacted any of us ever again.

I know of another similar incident, but cannot write the details here. Nothing brings out the dark nature of some folks, like greed after a death. Let’s just say that a cherished item that was promised to your Aunt Heather supposedly “disappeared.�

I cannot imagine my children behaving in this manner. If any of them want something in particular, they all know they can ask for it now. I actively try to get them to take various items. It would be so much easier if we could just all have a meeting, and they would all take things home.

I do not understand why folks of an advanced age are still hanging onto things. Unlike the American Indians and Egyptians, we do not bury people with their stu. I suppose that searching for some items to add to a collection is kind of like a hobby. Yes, I do have a lot of relatively worthless items, like jewelry, purses, clothing, and kitchen items. It gives me pleasure to see all of my little “prettiesâ€? that are displayed in my house.

I hope that many of the Christmas ornaments will be passed down and appreciated. So, yes, it is important to have a will, but there is a lot that I have no control about. People are quick to point out that I will be dead and not know about what happens to favorite things. However, like the spirits that I got to know in the Country Cottage building, I just might come up and tap you on the shoulder if I don’t approve of something.

Private Fitzhugh received a large cake from home. This triumph of mothers baking weighed thirtyseven pounds and contained 78 eggs. A note sent with the cake stipulated that the cake be shared with all Posey County men in the Camp.

World War I - 100 Years Ago World War I News - 100 Years Ago War News From The Western Star, August 15, 1918 - Mount Vernon

Letters To Soldiers American women writing to their soldier relatives in France, are requested by the Council of National Defense to make their letters bright and newsy and cheerful and, for goodness sake, refrain from expressions of anxiety and grief. Tell the soldiers what the folks at home are doing to keep up their end of the war A Letter From Will Allyn - Somewhere in France, June 30, 1918, to Will’s mother: Dearest Mother: This letter leaves the school teacher in ďŹ ne health and in a ďŹ ne part of France. Once more I am able to enjoy the fragrance of the clover and the singing of the birds.

Everywhere I look, I can see signs of war but still there are so many beautiful things that I am made to almost forget that we are in war.

My tent burned down the other night and I lost all my clothes and my mandolin also burned up.

It is very odd yet beautiful to see the French ways of living. I expected to ďŹ nd them living in ďŹ ne houses and wearing ďŹ ne clothing, but the country people are just as common and even more so than those in the states. Their houses are all made of stone. Everything looks old and old fashioned.

They put produce and other things in a two-wheeled onehorse wagon. I can look out and see French women herding their goats and cows.

As a whole, the French it seems are a century behind America. Their little railroad engines and passenger cars

seem like American toys. The way things appear, I shall be home with you before long, so don’t worry.

I received a letter from Rippey Utley. She can write a good letter. If it hadn’t been for the other soldiers sitting around me, I would have cried right out. Mother, I am kept very busy every day of the week, but I don’t mind it. It is for you, dear mother, sisters and brothers, that I am doing it.

You can surely depend on me coming home to see you.

I close with lots of love. Let yourself be happy and cheerful. Will Allyn-Supply Co. 12, A. E. F. War Or No War, Life Goes On - Schools Open Monday, Sept. 2: The city schools will open Sept. 2.

Edie Hardcastle, a biology professor seeking election to the Indiana State Senate, will talk about her leap into politics at a “meet and greet� with Posey County voters on August 14 at the historic Pagoda House, 423 East Street in New Harmony at 6 p.m.

Hardcastle is the Democratic candidate for Senate District 49, which includes all of Posey County and portions of Gibson and Vanderburgh County. One of a record number of women nationally who are seeking election for the ďŹ rst time, she’s seeking to un-seat Republican incumbent Jim Tomes of Wadesville, who has focused on gun-rights legislation throughout his eight years in the oďŹƒce.

Hardcastle is a gun owner herself but said she believes voters want legislators who will focus more on bills that would improve their access to education, better-paying jobs and job training, health care and more-aordable energy sources

that would lower their utility bills and create less air pollution.

Her two main issues are a strong public education system and the need for jobs that pay liveable wages in Southwestern Indiana. As an education candidate, she is opposed to expansion of Indiana’s school voucher program that in the past six years has diverted more than $520 million in state funds from public schools to pay for private school tuition. To attract better-paying jobs to the district, she would focus on assuring that Southwestern Indiana has an ample supply of workers with the skills needed by today’s high tech employers - including employers who are already here.

The August 14 event is co-hosted by Barbara Northern, Jeanne Maudlin and Anette Buckland and will feature democratic State Senator Karen Tallian representing the 4th District of Indiana and it is open to the public.

This program features biblical, Christcentered teaching that focuses on grief topics associated with the death of a loved one. The DVD seminar features nationally respected grief experts and real-life stories of people, followed by a small group discussion about what was viewed. Past participants have related how helpful the information and follow-up discussions were to them.

Many grieving people find they are only beginning the work of healing when friends or family have returned to their daily life routines.

Too often people, including Christians, tend to stuff their grief instead of allowing it to do the God given work for which it is intended. Don’t allow fear of what others may think keep you from what could help you. Confidentiality is

Sermon of the Week: Soul Training Matt Watson Tis the season for training. At our church, there’s a group of people training for a Tough Mudder. At the high school, there’s a weight room and track full of people training for fall competition. On our city streets there are all ages of walkers, joggers, and even all out runners. We’ve got cross fitters and beach bodier-s. We nutritionalize to the tune of big bucks - from weight watchers to keto types and more. Some use supplements, others don’t.

Observing, and sometimes participating in, training reminds me of a wellestablished biblical metaphor.

Training was known to the 1st century church. The Apostles argued from the lesser to the greater. They said physical training (lesser) was of some value while spiritual training (greater) was of lasting value.

1 Timothy 4:7-8 instructs, “train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.” Think with me about soul training in concept then in practice.

First, in concept. The concept of soul training intimates we should expect to put forth effort in the Christian life.

Development of the soul doesn’t happen accidentally any more than running miles happen accidentally. Success is measured one small incremental step at a time. Regarding spiritual things, sure, a person is saved by faith alone through grace alone in Christ alone. But then the work begins. As the Reformers said, you are saved by faith alone but faith does not stay alone.

Sincere faith will soon be

followed by joyous works, sincere effort. Faith without works is dead (James 2:17).

And we are exhorted to take up our cross daily and follow Jesus (Luke 9:23). The Apostle Paul tells us to run our race set before us with perseverance (1 Corinthians 9:24), as to win a crown. And he holds himself to his own standard as he strives to finish the race of life (2 Timothy 4:7). Training seems to be a biblical and helpful metaphor for the Christian life. So you will need to put forth effort in your spiritual life in order to find joy in it. Effort and grace are not mutually exclusive.

Second, in practice. The practice of soul training involves tools and trainers. Just as a runner needs shoes so the

believer needs a Bible. Having shoes isn’t enough, you will need to put them on and log mileage in them. Having a Bible isn’t enough, you’ll need to open it up and log time in it. You will need to spend time in the Word and in prayer. Prayer will help you to plan your work and work your plan of soul training.

Parallel these private practices with the power of the group - in spiritual terms, Jesus’ church. Training occurs best with a multitude of trainers. You run more often and train harder when other people are involved with you - in it with you. Even the most self-disciplined person will benefit from peer training or a master trainer. Jesus’ church is where people are to

NORTH POSEY

regularly gather for the purpose of soul training. Church members covenant together to provide and receive resources for spiritual training. But this takes effort by you the member! In addition to locating a healthy church, and seeking to become a member of it, you must make yourself regularly available one to another. This is how you find joy in soul training. Hebrews 10:25 reminds us not to neglect gathering together. Every Sunday group training session helps motivate your smaller group training session each weekday.—and vice versa. The ordinary means of grace the church experiences together (e.g., The Lord’s Supper, baptism, expositional preaching of the Word, covenant disci-

pline) are irreplaceable, nonduplicable. Jesus set up this glorious grind, a sanctified effort, to be accomplished, in part, with the help of others.

You are not alone. In practice, good training requires tools and trainers. Locate them.

One accomplished author quipped: I don’t even like writing so much as having written. The same can be said for physical training: I don’t even like running so much as having ran. Maybe at some point you’ll like running. But at this point, metaphors break down. Assuredly, the believer reaches a point where they

like soul training. It may not be so much the training as it is having trained, the results.

We know we’re pressing on to a place where we will have arrived, eternally in Christ.

I can tell you from personal experience, newfound training makes life worse before better. As you acclimate to new disciplines, you’ll realize where your current fitness level really is. Humbling! But soul training is worth the effort. In the end, it’s pure joy.

“Additionally, Posey County’s willingness to provide tax incentives to CGB indicates our commitment to helping both existing companies expand in Posey County and prospective companies to invest in Posey County,” Alsop continued. “Posey County is appreciative having a company such as CGB in our county and look forward to many years of continued success.”

Stefani Miller, vice president of the Posey County Council echoed Alsop’s feelings as well as touting the investment as a blessing to local farmers and the local community.

“It was an honor to be there and take the tour of the improved facility,” Miller said following the presentation. “This will streamline the unloading and processing of the soybeans that local farmers bring in and at the same time, will have a positive economic impact on the Posey County community.”

Miller, whose family is involved in farming, was particularly grateful for the commitment to Posey County’s largest industry, farming.

“This is a great example of what can happen in a community

scores our commitment to remain an essential partner in the Indiana agricultural community.”

CGB originates and markets grain and oilseeds for domestic and international markets. Just one bushel of soybeans can produce 11 pounds of soy oil, which is commonly used for cooking, biodiesel and other industrial applications, and nearly 49 pounds of soymeal and soy hulls, which serve feed mills, poultry manufacturers and hog farmers.

Soybeans are a primary field crop in the United States, and Indiana ranks third in the country for soybean production.

“CGB’s commitment to its customers, its vision for smart growth and this expansion that more than doubles the size of its operation since it opened here in 1997 emphasizes its commitment to a strong future for soybean processing in southwest Indiana,” said Wilzbacher.

Business activities at the Port of Indiana-Mount Vernon support over 7,000 jobs and generate more than $1 billion in annual economic impact for the state, including $348 million in wages and $33 million in state and local taxes each year. Coal, soybean

when local government shows a willingness to work with large companies,” Miller continued.

“It’s a win-win situation and I am proud to have been a part of the Council when the decision was made to enlarge the facility.”

Event emcee and Consolidated’s Vice President of Soybean Processing Steve O’Nan reminded those in attendance when the soybean processing plant first went on-line in 1997. A show of hands produced a surprising number of employees present at this announcement who were also present for the 1997 grand opening.

“We started awfully early that morning, about 2 or 3 o’clock in the morning preparing pork chops,” O’Nan said with a smile.

“But times are easier on us now.

We didn’t have to do the cooking this time. But there’s been a lot of changes since then.”

“Mount Vernon has had a big influence on the direction of CGB,” O’Nan said.

Brooks York gave the crowd, many of them farmers, a look at what researchers believe will see in this year’s soybean crop.

“I can’t really release a lot on corn yet but I can tell you that we

anticipate that corn yields will be up and probably better than the USDA estimates,” York said. “As for commodity prices, just the fact that CGB has made this investment out here says a lot for the belief in agriculture in the US, especially beans. We believe in the future of U.S. soybeans and we believe the demand and the prices are going to be there.”

Kevin Adams, the CEO, indicated that he is appreciative of all the farm customers in the area who supply soybeans to CGB. Also, he assured farmers that it is critical that they continue to supply the grain because without the producer, CGB is nothing, he said.

“I’d also like to thank the Ports of Indiana here who are our partners in business,” Adams said.

“They have really put the infrastructure in place and have made it possible for CGB and other companies to grow their business here in Posey County.”

“We announced our expansion plan here in the fall of 2016 because we were excited about growth opportunities at this Mount Vernon location,” said Adams. “This investment means we will remain competitive in this global economy and it under-

meal, soybean oil, ethanol, dried distillers grain, corn, wheat, fertilizer, minerals and cement are primary cargoes moving through the Mount Vernon port, which has achieved record-setting shipments for the past four years.

CGB is headquartered just outside New Orleans and is jointly owned by two Japanese organizations - Itochu Corporation and ZEN-NOH, a federation of agricultural cooperatives. The Posey County plant is the company’s only soybean processing facility and its strategic location allows for multiple logistics options, including inbound and outbound barge, rail and truck transportation as well as outbound container shipping options. Roughly 60 percent of the facility’s volume is shipped via barge, utilizing the Port of Indiana-Mount Vernon.

Established in 1961, the Ports of Indiana is a self-funded enterprise dedicated to growing Indiana’s economy by developing and maintaining a world-class port system.

Sgt. Gonzalez will be working not only with the junior high and high school, Kopatich said, but he will also be going out to the elementary schools. He explained Gonzalez will monitor safety and may be able to provide workshops to teachers and students throughout the year. “We’re very excited,�

Kopatich stated. “This is another layer for us for safety.

We’re very, very happy, and we’re very pleased to be in this partnership with the City of Mount Vernon and the police department of Mount Vernon in order to fill the position of School Resource Officer.�

He added he hoped Gonzalez would be able to come to a board meeting in November to discuss his plans.

School Board President Kathy Weinzapfel stressed the SRO would not be replacing the principals or the disciplinary staff. She said he is a liaison of law enforcement there to help students understand he’s somebody not to be feared, but to go to if they need help or have concerns.

Board Secretary Joe Rutledge commented SROs were being considered across the nation, and it was the right thing to do.

He expressed appreciation to the city for working with the school district to put the SRO program in place from day one of the new school year.

In other business: Director of Business and Technology, Loren Evans, provided the 2019 budget presentation on the Debt Service Fund and the Operations Fund. During the presentation, Evans featured the budget adoption sched-

Wed Oct 10 Publish CPF Notice of Adoption one time only.

Evans noted required summaries of the 2019 budget will be posted at the State of Indiana’s DLGF Gateway portal and the MSD of Mount Vernon website once the board has approved permission to advertise. He said the MSD of Mount Vernon website will provide a link to the DLGF Gateway portal. For more information, Evans encouraged contact with the district office.

Board Vice President Mark Isaac was recognized for receiving the Cap Level 1 pin from the Indiana State Board Association, or ISBA, for his time and dedicated service to the MSD of Mount Vernon.

Employment was confirmed for Melissa Barritt as teacher assistant - parochial, Heather Cash as teacher assistant – special education at Farmersville, Sherry Henderson as teacher assistant computer at West, Andrea Hoehn as speech-language pathologist assistant, Angela Loschen-Delancy as high school English teacher, Cynthia Middleton teacher assistant remediation at the high school, Misty Miles as teacher assistant computer at the high school, and Hannah Seng as special education teacher assistant at Marrs.

Resignations were accepted effective immediately from Heather Cash as special education teacher assistant at the high school, Amanda Green Adams as teacher assistant computer at West, Sherry Henderson as teacher assistant computer at the high school, Andrea Hoehn as speech-language

pathologist, Bonnie McCarty as food services employee at the junior high, and Lori Redman as special education teacher assistant at Marrs.

The board approved a reduction in force termination of Karen Behrick as a teacher assistant effective immediately with the understanding this honorable termination results from a change in staffing needs at MVHS. Board President Kathy Weinzapfel stressed the termination was for a position, not a person. Supt.

Kopatich explained the teacher had worked oneon-one with a student who moved, so when the student moved, the position went away. He added Behrick had received a different job with the MSD of Mount Vernon for approval at the next board meeting.

Extra duty positions were confirmed for the 2018-19 school year.

The board approved wage and benefit packages for Food Services and Management and Non-Unit Personnel for the 2018-19 school year. Supt. Kopatich outlined the changes, saying the position of speech pathologist became a non-certified position, and the position of Assistant Athletic Director had been finalized. In addition, he said 1) the substitute for Farmersville food service would receive an increase from minimum wage to $10/hour; 2) custodial substitutes will see a wage increase from $10/hour to $13/hour; 3) long-term subs covering an extended leave of absence, say a maternity leave, can expect a pay increase--if certified, after the first 15 days from $75/day to the pay of a first year teacher (approximately $180/day) and if non-certified, after

the first days from $75/day to $100/day. Kopatich explained the increases were necessary to make salaries competitive to secure and retain employees. He said the school district can afford this very small amount for the increase.

Dana Taylor was granted permission to travel with three students to a lighting workshop on Sunday, September 9, at Evansville North High School.

Supt. Kopatich reported on progress at West, Marrs, and MVHS. He said West is fine with odds and ends being completed. Likewise, he stated Marrs is fine despite a water line breaking. He noted the water line break had been cleaned up and carpeting would be laid in the media center no later than the week of August 13. At MVHS, he said, some work remained, but most major items were done. He wanted to address rumors that high school classes would be moved to the gym. He stated classrooms will not be in the gym. He ended by giving kudos to Dave Frye and his maintenance team as well as Performance Services for their work. Teachers were commended also for their patient support.

Board member Don Julian cautioned everyone to be mindful of the construction on Fourth Street as a safety precaution for student drivers and for bus safety. Board member Beth McFadin Higgins suggested drivers stay off Fourth Street when possible and choose an alternate route.

The Mount Vernon School Board will meet again Monday, August 20, at 5:45 pm. in the Mount Vernon Junior High School media center.

at the beginning of the 2018-19 academic year.

Finally, he highlighted the partnership with the City of Mount Vernon and Mount Vernon Police Department to bring in a School Resource Officer, or SRO, announced as Sgt. Leo Gonzalez with the Mount Vernon Police Department.

Kopatich stressed the police department initiated the partnership, thinking about teachers and students. He added the cost to the district is only $10,000 with the rest of the tab picked up by the City of Mount Vernon and the Mount Vernon Police Department.

Before airing a lighthearted five-minute video produced by Bill Stein and the Fabulous Five, Kopatich admonished teachers and teacher assistants to enjoy what they had accomplished and what they had been through to get to the position where parents entrusted them with their children. “It’s a huge responsibility, and you do a great job,� he said. “It is the greatest profession, the most caring profession, the most important profession on this earth.� He concluded, “We are blessed to have you all in charge.�

On August 8, 2018, Sergeant Leonardo Gonzalez was appointed to the role of School Resource Officer. Sergeant Gonzalez has worked for the Mount Vernon Police Department since 2011, where he has held the role of patrolman, then was promoted to Sergeant. Prior to serving the community of Mount Vernon, Sergeant Gonzalez served in the United States Army. Gonzalez was deployed to Iraq for two combat tours during his service between 2004 and 2011.

‘Breakfast’ continued from Page A1 After expressing appreciation to Charlotte Johnson and her cafeteria staff along with McKim’s IGA for the breakfast, Kopatich asked the principals at each school in the district to introduce all new staff present. The list of new hires and transfers made available at the breakfast is impressive.

‘Commissioners’ continued from Page A1 in Marrs Township, the county does not have the available funding for this request.

In other business: • The commissioners approved a list of items to surplus including computers, monitors, copiers and keyboards that are no longer usable, as well as a wooden table and file cabinets. Commissioner Carl Schmitz suggested making usable items available to not-for-profits before disposing of items.

• Executive Director of the Posey County Area Plan Commission Mindy Bourne presented a request to rezone property from M-2 (Manufacturing Medium/Heavy) Zoning to Agriculture (A) Zoning for Clara David’s property located at the corner of Indian Mounds Road and Lower Mount Vernon Road so that she can add onto her home. She cannot currently receive a permit to build due to the current zoning. Bourne noted that the Area Plan Commission recommends

approval with a vote of 6-0 at their July 12 meeting. Commissioners voted to change the zoning per the request.

• Kay Kilgore, chairperson of River Days, requested the use of the courthouse parking lot for registration for a 5K Color Run hosted by the Mount Vernon Marching Wildcats on September 8 in conjunction with the Mount Vernon River Days. It is anticipated that the band will need to utilize the parking lot from 7 a.m. until approximately 10 a.m. Commissioners approved the request.

• Steven Lupfer appeared before the Commissioners requesting a guard rail or other potential solution to prevent drivers from driving onto his property on Upper Mount Vernon Road when they fail to make the curve at the corner of his property. According to Lupfer, multiple vehicles have driven through his fence and through

his yard. He fears for the safety of his three young daughters. The commissioners agreed to drive to his property to take a look at the situation before making any recommendations and to speak with Steve Schenk of the highway department.

• Alan Schelhorn requested approval to build homes on Red Lake Drive which is in the last section of Lake Land Ridge Subdivision. There is currently a base down for the road, but the final layer will not be completed until after construction so that the heavy equipment and trucks needed for construction do not damage the final layer of the road. The commissioners agree to allow homes to be built so that permits can be issued. According to Alsop, the final approval cannot be given until the final layer of the road is complete at which time the county will take over the road.

• Betty Postletheweight, County Clerk,

requested approval of satellite voting sites to be located at Wadesville Fire Department, Marrs Township Fire Department Station 2 and North Elementary on October 27 and November 3 in addition to the County Courthouse for early voting. Satellite voting costs the county approximately $4000 which was already figured into the election budget. Postletheweight noted that the county currently has 18,119 voters.

• As the jail project is winding down, Joe Mattingly of Garmong Construction requested the commissioners approve claims from Superior Concrete for $51,235 for exterior concrete work, VEI for communications and radio equipment for $32,548.60 and a claim for $10,450 for landscaping.

The request was granted.

The Commissioners will meet again on the third Tuesday of August at 9 a.m. at the Hovey House in Mount Vernon.

‘Cynthiana’ continued from Page A1 board agreed to have city workers look into the situation and attempt to rectify it.

In other business: •The board is looking at possible ways to secure a second pavilion at the Town Park and to make the facilities handicapped accessible. It was reported that the town has applied for a $5,000 Posey County Community Foundation Grant and they should know by sometime in October as to whether or not the grant will be awarded.

The estimate for a second pavilion has come in at around $9,000 and grants are also being sought for that project.

•The Town of Cynthiana is seeking a Community Crossings Grant to help pay for patching and repairing of several of the town’s streets. Should the town receive the grant, that state will match 75 percent to 25 percent for street projects completed under the grant.

Board members agreed to set aside $50,000 in hopes of obtaining the grant. That would allow the town to spend $200,000 on street repairs.

A list was made with portions of Walnut, Mill, Poplar, and Church streets receiving the highest priority.

•Cynthiana resident Jeff Wright appeared before the board asking that he be permitted to take care of the town’s faltering baseball diamond. Wright indicated he believes there is a lack of practice fields in the area and given proper care, the town could charge a small fee to rent out the facility.

Wright was told to check out the insurance situation on teams who might be using the field and the town will check out its insurance as well. The board expressed appreciation for Wright’s offer and indicated that it should be approved, depending on the insurance situation.

•Town resident Gayla Smith appeared before the board regarding unkept property across the street from her home.

She indicated that she has called 911 at least a couple of times as she has seen teenagers breaking into the dilapidated mobile home. She told the board that her husband has mowed the grass several times just to keep weeds and the risk of rodents down. The board agreed to look into attempting to rectify the situation.

•Town resident Shannon Tidwell attended the meeting to complain about property near her’s and “right across the street from the park,” she said. “There is junk everywhere and animals run in and out of there. The town just looks like crap.”

She was advised to come to the Town Hall and file a complaint and that the County Health Department might need to be contacted.

Tidwell indicated she would like for the town to be more like it was when she was growing up and people had block parties and got to know each other. The board agreed that is the type of atmosphere they would like to see brought

back to Cynthiana.

•A complaint was voiced by resident Audrey Poe regarding “the people who rent out the nursing home. They drive like crazy. They are always on my property because I guess they get better telephone reception on my property, she stated.

Board member Patti Wilson indicated she knows the owner of the said property and she will contact the owner

stating she is sure the owner is not aware of anything like this going on.

•A complaint was also voiced regarding the lack of any light at the corner of Main and Oak streets. The board agreed to look into the situation and might possibly seek the help of Duke Energy to get a light into the area.

The Cynthiana Town Board Will meet again on Wednesday, September 12 at 6 p.m. at the Cynthiana Town Hall.

TAKE A LOOK, WE’RE JUST MINUTES AWAY!

Local shop owners are in it for the long haul

By Pam Robinson Mount Vernon Flower and Garden Shop owners, husband and wife team Joe and Mary Fickas, know what it means to persevere. The 84-year-old and the 83-year-old, respectively, have worked their Teleflora business for 55 years now, almost as long as the 64 years of their marriage celebrated May 15.

Joe was born in Vanderburgh County to Anexamander Hayden Fickas, more popularly known as Cannonball or Shorty, and his wife Mary Pearl (Goottee). He was the eighth of 12 children born to the couple. His family moved to the Saint Wendel area in 1946, and he met Mary in her element.

Born on the Posey-Vanderburgh County line, Mary was the child of Raymond and Ethelinda (Schenk) Frick. She and Joe became friends at the four-room Saint Wendel Catholic School in sixth grade.

“There were two grades in one room except for sixth, seventh, and eighth grades.

Then there were three grades in one room,” Mary recalls. “We used outside toilets. There was no running water. We had no cafeteria, so we brought our sack lunch.

Joe remembers the segregation between girls and boys during recess when the children often played softball. Each gender had its own game going. “There was an invisible line in the playground not to be crossed, separating girls and boys,” he states.

Distance came between Joe and Mary in high school also. Although they lived near each other in Saint Wendel, each one attended a different high school. “I thought he’d never ask me out,” Mary declares and laughs.

Finally, when Mary was a junior at Mater Dei and he a junior at Reitz, Joe invited her to a 4-H hayride. The 1953 graduates married a year after they completed high school.

The high school sweethearts had made

The Golden Years

Joe and Mary Fickas have been together since they were both in high school and have been in business together for 55 years now. Photo by Pam Robinson time for extracurricular activities along with their dating. Mary sang in Glee Club while Joe participated in FFA and played football for the first two years of high school. During Joe’s junior year, his father died unexpectedly, and Joe’s life changed dramatically. He attended school half days and worked half days at Holland Dairy his senior year to help support his family.

After high school, Joe worked first for McCarty Seed Company before signing on with Colonial Garden Center. Four months

after he and Mary married in 1954, Joe was drafted and served two years in the Army. In the meantime, Mary served as the bookkeeper for George Koch Sons, a job she held for ten years.

In September 1956, Joe completed his time in the Army. A job awaited him once again at Colonial Garden Center, this time as Assistant Manager. Mary recalls she earned 90 cents an hour at her job, and Joe earned 75 cents an hour. “I don’t see how we made it,” she says.

Next, Joe gained experience at Bennett Garden Center in Mount Vernon before opening Mount Vernon Flower Shop on Mill Street on April 1, 1963. By 1968, he and Mary bought the garden center, renaming it Mount Vernon Flower and Garden Shop, from the Bennetts at its current location, 1136 E. Fourth Street.

Joe and Mary have definitely made themselves at home in the Mount Vernon community. They raised their only daughter, Kimbra, here. They have been dedicated parishioners of Saint Matthew Catholic Church.

Joe served as the chairman of the Saint Matthew’s Summer Social Dinner for 18 years and still serves as Eucharistic Minister, a long-time ministry.

Proudly displayed behind the cash register is Joe’s diploma from Chicago Academy of Floral Arts. Yet, one suspects he has learned to be a flower whisperer as much in life’s classroom as in any formal educational setting.

He will tell you “flowers speak” to him while he creates an arrangement. The conversation means Joe handles each flower only once, and it stays put wherever he places it.

Mary adds Joe is so precise he would create his own funeral arrangement if it were possible.

Although Mary would like to retire in a year or two from the floral business, Joe has a different idea. “When I get old enough,” he states, “we’ll retire.” He doesn’t even hint how old that might be.

One wonders if by then Joe may possibly just figure out a way to create his own funeral arrangement and continue the tradition in eternity.

County football teams ready for season

By Chris Morlan The Mount Vernon and North Posey football teams attended the first annual media day on Monday, August 6. Media Day was sponsored by WEHT, Evansville Teachers Federal Credit Union and the Evansville Courier and Press.

This event had twenty-five local high schools participate. Each school had their football team’s head coach and two football players go on the stage and answered questions.

Mount Vernon went on the stage first for the two Posey County football teams. Head Coach Cory Brunson, along with football players, Sam Thomas and D.J. Brakie,

attended the session. Thomas is a running back, wide receiver and returns kicks for the Wildcats, while Brakie is a lineman on both sides of the ball. This is Coach Brunson’s second season leading the Wildcats.

The media asked where Mount Vernon was in year two opposed to last year at this time. Coach Brunson replied, “We will be a lot stronger, we have improved and we are more competitive this year.”

With the program having a full offseason under Coach Brunson, the coach was asked about the improvements from last season. Brunson stated, “Our overall numbers are up, morale is up. We are not where we need to be, but we are going in

the right direction.” Another reporter asked, “Offensively, Mount Vernon runs a fast-paced offense, how’s that coming along?Brunson explained, “From year one to year two we are not wasting the first few weeks learning the plays and the kids now know what to expect.”

Another question from the media was, “With two wins last year, how difficult is it to win in the Big Eight conference and to keep the confidence up?” Brunson stated, “There are no weak teams on our schedule and every week we have to come and play our best. Our conference is definitely tough. Our sectional is one of the toughest in the state.

Seems like half of the teams in

Photo by Garry Beeson our sectional have a chance to go far in the playoffs.” The reporters directed a question at Sam Thomas, “as a wide receiver, how is it playing for Coach Brunson and this fast-paced offense?” Thomas replied, “you have to be constantly ready all the time. I think it’s fun.”

The media then asked Thomas, “How far do you think you have come along in the offense from year one to year two?” Thomas stated, “Last year was new to us and this summer we’ve had time to go over

Brakie elaborated about their offseason weight lifting program, “We have made a lot of big gains in the weight room - increasing our numbers in squats and bench. We are getting more athletic now. We are more comfortable under Coach Brunson than we were last year. We are not as timid as

Wildcats top Vikings on links

By Chris Morlan Last Wednesday afternoon, two Posey County rivals battled on the greens in a close match at the Western Hills Country Club in Mount Vernon. During a close match, Mount Vernon edged North Posey 179-192. This match could of went either way, but the Lady Wildcats earned the victory.

stated, “We are all about five-ten and about two hundred pounds. We knew in the offseason we were going to lose a lot of guys to graduation and how were we going to replace three of our offensive lineman? Losing all-state running back Alex Stewart was big. Our offensive line has been a surprise this offseason. Richie Meyer is going to anchor the line. We got the two Herrmann kids back. They have had a great offseason in the weight room. We got a Stewart replacing a Stewart in the backfield. Kyle Stewart is a little faster than his brother. We got Dalton Cox back as our leading receiver. Defensively, we are light. Richie (Meyer) is back at linebacker. Our secondary is pretty tough and we have high expectations this year. For North Posey, a five hundred record is not good enough. They told me when I got hired, we have to win now. We have a lot of guys that need to be replaced. These guys we have now have bought in to our system since November’s offseason workouts to now. We have had several kids who have attended a hundred percent of the workouts from November to today. We know we are undersized but at the same time, we are well conditioned. A lot more stronger and a lot more explosive. High expectations again.” A reporter asked, “How are the newer kids filling the roles of the players that have graduated?

Viking quarterback Jarrett Motz explained, “I think the younger kids are stepping up and filling in for the positions we need help with. We push the younger kids and hold them accountable for high expectations and they are doing a great job.” Linebacker, Richie Meyer replied, “we are small and don’t have as much experience. This year we are going to push everyone and surprise many teams.”

North Posey opens their regular season this Friday night at South Spencer. Kickoff time for the game is 7 p.m.

we were last year. We are more confident asking him questions.”

Mount Vernon opens their regular season this Friday night in Lincoln, Ind., against Heritage Hills. The kickoff is 7 p.m. local time.

North Posey went to the stage at the end of media day. Viking head coach Waylon Schenk, along with two players, quarterback Jarrett Motz and linebacker Richie Meyer answered questions from the local media. This will be Coach Schenk’s second season at the helm leading this Viking squad.

The first questions for Coach Schenk were a recap of last season and the positive things he took away from it. Coach Schenk stated, “It was a big first year for us. The numbers were there.

At North Posey, there is a lot of proud tradition with Coach Gengelbach being there for 46 years and had some success. It was great for us and the community who supported us. The school board upgraded our weight room facilities. I thought we had a good solid first year. The loss to Linton-Stockton in the sectional opener was probably one of the best high school football games I’ve ever been part of.” The reporters then asked, “Now you’re in year two and taking over a program that Coach Gengelbach coached for many years and brought many wins to the program. Is there any pressure on doing things a certain way? Schenk replied, “there is some pressure because the community out there expects you to win. Win a lot of games and have kids come out. Coach Gengelbach is always around and he has helped with our junior high program. He stops by our practice quite a bit.

He is a great resource and he has been great for me. Coach Gengelbach was the first person I reached out to when I got the North Posey job.

He is always willing to help out anytime he can.” Another question from the media, “What does your squad look like this season? Schenk
