Poseyville meeting turns ugly By Lynda Baker Councilman Justin Collins led off the August 2020 meeting of the Poseyville Town Council with a proposal that the Town Marshal have a set schedule. The discussion turned personal rather quickly however, it was allowed to proceed. Inevitably, an Executive Session was planned to discuss job performance, as according to state law. Collins said that the New Harmony Marshal and the Sheriff’s Department (which has many officers) have schedules. He added that he had received a complaint or complaints from unidentified individuals that the Marshal was not reliable in law enforcement mutual aid responses. However, Council President Bruce Baker, who has served as both Poseyville Town Marshal and as a Posey County Deputy Sheriff for many years, expressed vehement opposition to a set schedule for the Marshal. He believes that unpredictable patrol has been shown to be a key crime deter-

rent. He also wants the Marshal to continue to be available around the clock, as much as possible, without incurring excessive overtime or scheduling interference. According to Baker, Poseyville residents have complained many times since the mid-1970s about seeing a Poseyville Police Department vehicle outside of town limits, but he knows firsthand that rural communities rely heavily upon law enforcement mutual aid, as do rural fire departments. “Trying to predict when and where a law enforcement event will occur is like trying to predict where lightening will strike. Anything can happen at any time, usually when you least expect it. It is very important for all county law enforcement agencies to respond, train and coordinate well with one another, but some differences have arisen over the years.” It was relayed to Baker, from Posey County

New NP School Supt. Galvin takes part in first meeting By Lynda Baker Michael Galvin, the new interim superintendent of North Posey School Corporation, was in attendance at the August 2020 meeting of the Board. The Board approved the contracts with Galvin, which were discussed at a prior meeting of the Board. Board Member Vince Oakley described the search and selection process for a superintendent to replace Dr. Todd Camp, upon his retirement after the first of the year, as “…quite a process. We sent out a survey and received an excellent response from the public. We evaluated several excellent candidates. I believe that

our selection of Galvin was the correct one.” Other members of the Board agreed that everyone had done a tremendous job during the process, including the outside advisors who had assisted with the search. They congratulated Galvin upon being selected. Camp requested the Board’s consent to advertise the Corporation’s budget for 2021. After a brief discussion regarding the tax rate, the Board consented to its publication. The budget will be discussed in detail at a future meeting of the Board. The Board approved the request of the Poseyville Kiwanis to

use school property in Poseyville for its fireworks display in September of this year, with the Kiwanis to provide insurance coverage for its event. A one year contract for fire suppression services was approved as presented to the Board by Camp. He explained that the Corporation usually enters into a three year contract, but he felt that it may be time for the Corporation to shop around. He did not want Galvin to be locked into a three year contract.

Mount Vernon City Council addresses police questions By Lois Mittino Gray Mount Vernon Police Department officers patrolling outside the city boundaries was a topic of discussion posed to Police Chief Tony Alldredge at the August 13, Mount Vernon Board of Works meeting. Board member David Dodd initiated the discussion by saying he has been approached by citizens wondering why city officers are sitting in the highway median by AstraZeneca. Dodd added the residents were feeling there were other things possibly going on inside town limits and wondered if this was really the best place for them to be. Alldredge replied, “They are running traffic out there

in an effort to slow down cars, before coming into town.” The Chief said his officers usually patrol between Plaza Drive, which runs alongside the Southwind Shopping Center, and the Keck Bypass on the highway. He reminded them the city limits do now extend all the way to the Bypass. Occasionally, officers go out as far as to the AZ median. “We need them out there. Historically, it is a bad area for accidents, especially where the two lanes go down to one,” Chief Alldredge remarked. Board member Andy Hoehn told him he has seen officers out in the medians well beyond the Keck Bypass, too. Hoehn

agreed that drivers do need to slow down entering the city, especially when the highway drops down to one lane. Chief Alldredge explained his officers run traffic in locations of their own choosing. “I don’t designate an area where to go to. I can pull them out of there, if you feel I should direct them out elsewhere for a while. We also have problems with the no passing zone near Plastic Drive.” Board member Dodd said he realizes he is not the Police Chief and is not trying to tell him how to do his job. He mere-

Redman is one of the original four ladies who founded the yoga group in 2014. She and Lisa Calvert, Nancy Lewis, and former Zion-Lippe Pastor Linda Nanninga met indoors to do yoga, under the tutelage of Amy Sellers. When Sellers moved away to Georgia, Mills took over the classes about three years ago. Her basic fee is fifty dollars per class, so the ladies have a rule that at least four of them minimum must be present to cover the costs. The ladies are from many areas of the county, of all ages, and do not have to be members of the host church. “We met indoors for all those years, arriving about fifteen minutes early to chitchat and have some camaraderie,” Redman said. “It went well until this spring when the pandemic hit.” The group continued to meet indoors until the virus, when they

decided to stop meeting together in March. They tried doing yoga by television, but that was disappointing. Missing the ‘good vibe’ body exercise, the group decided to start up again on June 19 by meeting outdoors on the parking lot where they felt safer. “We have masks with us, but only wear them if we get close. Otherwise, we continue as usual. A few times it has even sprinkled rain, but we don’t let that stops us!” Redman said with a smile. Mills leads them through a variety of poses. “She mixes them up all the time and she is very good,” Redman observed. Her favorite poses are ‘the Child’, which has the group with face prone to the ground, and ‘the Warrior II’ which is a standing pose. “I feel it really has helped me feel better and I hate to miss it. I like it so much, I hope we continue to keep meeting outside, as weather permits.”

AUGUST 18, 2020 John E. Neidig John E. Neidig, 78, of Evansville, Indiana passed away August 13, 2020 at his residence. John was born in Haubstadt, Indiana, on October 5, 1941 to the late Jack and Viola (Greubel) Neidig. He was a graduate of Fort Branch High School. He then attended and played basketball at Elon and Evansville Colleges. John used his servant talents caring for Posey, Gibson and Vanderburgh County communities as an Indiana State Policeman (ISP). He worked for many years as a Road Trooper, diver in the Underwater Search and Recovery Unit, and First Sergeant Detective out of the Evansville Post. John received many letters of commendation stating “Trooper Neidig exemplified in the truest tradition the personal sacrifices made daily by a member of the ISP.” One such example is when he patrolled the Bull Island Rock Festival for three days straight without sleep. He was an active member of the Poseyville Masonic Lodge 632 and Hadi Shrine. He served as one of the first presidents of the Evansville Area Police Alliance. He loved his community and lived to help others. In retirement he enjoyed playing cards with friends, driving the school bus for North Posey, sharing a good meal, and traveling with family and friends. By far the most important aspect of his life was loving and fostering the development of his seven grandchildren and five great grandchildren. John is preceded in death by Dorcas his wife of 48 years as well as his brothers: Mike and David Neidig. He is survived by their children: John “Paul” Neidig and his wife Jean, Joseph David Neidig and his wife Jenifer and Lynn Carol Lingafelter and her husband Mark; grandchildren: Ashley Marie Grimes and her husband Charlie, Jessica Mae Cox and her husband Levi, Samantha Rae Neidig, Mason Douglas Lingafelter and his wife Deana, Christopher John Neidig, Kyle Michael Neidig and his wife Erin and Nicholas Paul Neidig; great-grandchildren: Graham Douglas Lingafelter, Emmett John Grimes, Owen Michael Grimes, Eleanor Grace Cox, Bryn Lola Neidig; brothers and sisters: Janet Weiss, Sarah (Ed) Drake, Jim (Cindy) Neidig, Tom

Due to the state mandate, the family requests that everyone wear masks and observe social distancing; or as Big John would say, “wear your damn masks!” In 2011 with the passing Dorcas, The Neidig Family created a memorial fund which supports families in need of funds for preschool or expansion of existing preschool programs for the MSD of North Posey. Friends, family and community members who would like to donate in memory of John Neidig can mail gifts to: Dorcas Bierbaum Neidig Early Childhood Education Endowment Fund, c/o Posey County Community Foundation, 402 Main Street, Mount Vernon, IN 47620. The family would like to say thank you to the hundreds of friends and family who have supported John and our family throughout his life and on the journey to his heavenly home. He gave us all a most powerful, unconditional love and was faithful throughout all trials, warm in spirit, and devoted to being servant of our Lord.

Doing all we can in sad situations

D M B C P In these times of uncertainty and fear, it was nice to have lunch with an old friend. She has had a rough time in the last few months, with health issues of her own, plus losing her beloved husband. As badly as I feel for her and several others who have had to come to grips with loss lately, it gives me reason to feel even more gratitude for my own husband. On August 21, we will celebrate our 55th anniversary. Using the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;celebrateâ&#x20AC;? is, of course not a reality this year. Earlier, I had hoped to have a small gathering to mark this milestone. Despite taking all precautions, gatherings are dangerous now. I just today heard of some friends testing â&#x20AC;&#x153;positive.â&#x20AC;? Every time one of us has to go for an appointment or enter a store, I feel fear. Don has an issue with his hand and is going to an appointment tomorrow. Despite how carefully medical places try to make

their facility germ-proof, I feel deepseated fear. If all of those would have to experience having a funeral for a loved one, maybe they would be more likely to follow the masks/sanitize guidelines. I heard a beauty shop discussion about a group of men who refuse to wear masks or take other precautions. Hard to understand. My friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband did not lose his life to the COVID 19 virus. He had other quickly escalating problems. This was the kind of couple who did almost everything together and she feels lost. So, yes, I am very thankful for Don Powers. Others have lost spouses in recent weeks and my sincere sympathy goes out to all of you. Even casual acquaintancesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; deaths make me sad. Losing celebrities makes me feel like my world is being chipped away. A family member recently made light of my collection of obituaries. I was told that when I am gone, they will be casually discarded. Keeping several albums of these clippings shows re-

spect for the individualsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives. From family members to the famous to others who pass through our lives, I have kept them all. We human beings only have a short time to inhabit our planet. History is an important subject for children to study. Reading about the lives of others should give us perspective and a reason to focus on various things. Way too many things are easily discarded now. I believe that it is our duty to preserve as much as we can. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand the psychology of throwing away our past. I respect and want to honor the lives of past family members. They worked hard and struggled to make their lives mean something. Even animals understand this. My friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recently departed husband had a little dog who also loved him dearly, and now sleeps on his blanket for comfort. I knew of one woman who slept in her late husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shirt, which retained his smell. Perhaps it makes a loss easier to accept when every last

shred of his life is carefully preserved even the obituary. I am not that hardhearted. Human beings are not disposable like holiday paper plates. We honor their importance by keeping samples of their hand-writing, jewelry they wore, and other things. Madeleine, when you someday wear my gold eagle pendant, I hope you feel my vibes. Last year, when Heather was working with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lincoln Hammer,â&#x20AC;? she felt in awe being able to touch it. For generations, we have carried a lock of someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hair, perhaps in a locket. Perhaps it goes back to family values that children grow up with. In all of my formative years, I heard about the accomplishments of those who were not longer with us. Long before I put them into albums, my grandmother stuck clipped out obituaries into the family bible. I was so glad to find them; they supplied dates of births, deaths, and weddings. Besides repeating the family stories, this filled in the blanks I wanted to recall.

Almost every family had stories and legends to retell. Throughout the passage of time, I am sure that they were altered. Touching base with others can help to deal with fear and grief. I know there are many instances when someone feels sad and alone. Madeleine, I greatly appreciate it when you walk across the lawn and visit with me and the dogs. Just a short visit always perks me up. To others, please take just a few minutes out of your day to make an older person feel remembered. Too much alone time is hard to deal with. This is especially true if there is a loss to come to grips with. There have also been a great number of pet deaths. Remember these are like children to their owners. In this one extraordinary time in America, we need to be a friend, neighbor, and really care about others. If an elderly person becomes sick and dies because you are too stubborn to wear a mask or use hand sanitizer, how do you deal with that?

Financial Focus What Does an Unplanned Career Transition Mean for You? The COVID-19 pandemic has unsettled the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employment picture for months and will likely continue to do so for a while. However, the nature and terminology of this disruption varies greatly among individuals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some have seen their jobs disappear, others have been â&#x20AC;&#x153;furloughedâ&#x20AC;? and still others have been offered an early retirement. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in this final group â&#x20AC;&#x201C; those either offered, or feeling forced to accept, an early retirement, how should you respond? Try to look at your situation holistically, rather than strictly in a short-term manner. Consider these four areas: Retirement â&#x20AC;&#x201C; What does retirement really look like to you? Are you ready to fully retire or would you like to work part time? Are you confident that you can work somewhere else for a few years before retiring on your own terms? If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not certain you can work elsewhere, how can you adjust your desired retirement lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; what you planned to do, where you hoped to live, etc. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to meet your new reality? Income â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Just how financially affected youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be from an early retirement depends on several factors: how much youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already saved and invested, whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re married and have a working spouse, whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve paid off your mortgage, and so on. In any case, though, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to answer several questions, including these: Do I need to start taking withdrawals from my IRA and 401(k)? If so, how much can I afford to take out each year without running the risk of outliving my resources? Should I adjust my current investment mix? If I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet started collecting Social Security, should I do so now, or can I afford to wait until my monthly payments will be bigger? Are there any other sources of income I can leverage? You may want to work with a financial professional to address these and other key income-related issues. Insurance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If you received health insurance through your employer, an early retirement could present you with a dilemma, especially if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not quite old enough for Medicare. You might be eligible for COBRA, which provides ex-employees and their dependents the option of continued health insurance for potentially up to 36 months, but this coverage can be expensive. As an alternative, you might be able to negotiate an extended severance package, which could provide you with health insurance for several months. Or, you might be able to get on the health insurance plan of your working spouse. Legacy â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Many people want to take care of their family while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re alive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and leave something behind when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gone. If you take an early retirement, you might lose your employerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group life insurance. Of course, if this plan was not sufficient, you may have already supplemented it with your own policy, but, if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, you may need to shop around for some coverage, particularly if you have children still at home. You also may want to take this opportunity to review your key financial accounts to make sure your beneficiary designations still accurately reflect your wishes. Going through an unplanned career transition is certainly challenging. But looking closely at the four areas describe above, and making the appropriate moves, may help you reduce some of the stress and can put you in a better position to start the next phase of your life.

Dutkiewicz wins Hageman Award

This accident occurred on Sunday at the corner of Sauerkraut Land and Highway 62 just west of Mount Vernon. According to police reports, 17-year-old Katlin Rogers of Mount Vernon, was on the North side of SR 62 at Sauerkraut Lane and South bound. Preliminary investigations show Rogers did not stop at the stop sign and attempted to cross SR 62 and struck a vehicle being driven by 23-year-old Waylon Boyle, also of Mount Vernon, who was driving East on SR 62. Boyle and his juvenile passenger, 16-year-old Tommy Boyle, were not wearing seat belts. Tommy Boyle was partially thrown from Boyle’s vehicle. All parties involved were transported to the hospital where their condition is unknown at this time. Alcohol or drugs is not suspected to be a factor in the crash at this time. Members of the Mount Vernon Police Department, the Black Township Fire and Rescue, and members of the Posey County EMS assisted in the crash.

Philip Hagemann announces that the winner of the 2020 competition for the Hagemann Award for Musical Performance is Ian Dutkiewicz, a recent graduate of Mount Vernon Senior High School. The winner receives $800 in cash plus an Alexander Scholarship, which goes towards the first year of post-high school education. Ian is the son of Tom and Kristen Dutkiewicz of Mount Vernon. A trombonist who has studied with Joshua Britton, Ian is about to enter the University of Louisville, majoring in mathematics and minoring in music. The competition is open annually to juniors and seniors from Mount Vernon Senior High School and North Posey Senior High School. For a variety of reasons including the pandemic, the structure of the competition was different from the past. Hagemann is indebted to Dana Taylor, recently retired choral director at Mount Vernon Senior High School, who administered the competition in the absence of Hagemann who lives in New York City and could not travel to Indiana because of the pandemic.

It is easy to get caught up in the narrative and forget to treat folks like neighbors. Working in healthcare, I understand being diligent when it comes to considering the physical well being of others, but I truly think we are neglecting mental and spiritual health. I am employed as a nurse, which means I have to use my brain and my heart. I have to constantly assess blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and pain levels. I have to maintain airways, control pain, give antibiotics, and assure the safety of my patient as they come out of surgery anesthesia. A person can learn these skills, while anticipating potential problems when it comes to the body. Our body is resilient, regulated, and maintained with so many precise, moving parts. When one part of the body faces adversity, another part will react in an attempt to bring things back to order. The lungs, kidneys, and heart work in a way that compensates for individual shortcomings while displaying signs that allow for correction. An arterial blood gas can guide the treatment that prevents respiratory failure. Electrolyte imbalances can be understood

AUGUST 18, 2020

This little light of mine... in a matter of minutes from a small vial of blood. It is a testament to the awesomeness of God that He allows us to understand even some of the complexities of His creation. Did you know that an extra vein found in your leg could be used to keep your heart pumping if the coronary arteries become blocked? It’s true; the saphenous vein is used in bypass surgery. The heart beats and the leg still gets plenty of blood circulation. While the body is truly amazing, God also gave us a soul. Jesus was asked which is the great commandment in the law. “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the ﬁrst and great commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” We have spent over 150 days in masks and six feet away. I can respect that we did not know what to believe in the beginning of this. Recommendations from experts have changed and been contradicted in so many ways. A quick search on the CDC website will show that 10 million new tuberculosis cases occurred in 2018 along with 1.5 million deaths. The world did not shut down. These are facts. The current virus situation is scary because it is new, the

news reports on it daily with up-to-date infection tickers, and a narrative has been created. There is a group of people that want to bunker down until this is completely eliminated and think we should shut everything down. There is a group that wants to completely downplay this whole thing. There are also people scattered all across the middle. Most people do not want to offend others, so they keep quiet, and to themselves. I try not to watch too much mainstream news, because political motivations have skewed facts in such a way that opinions are treated as facts. The news should be delivered as facts and editorials should be labeled and treated as such. People talk about a new normal that includes wearing masks and gloves forever and the elimination of group activities. They say this is the only way to be safe and move forward. Stores have reopened, but many people recoil in fear when they walk by a stranger. People are afraid to touch money, and spray so much cleaner that they cough up the respiratory droplets they are trying to protect themselves from in the ﬁrst place. God put me in two positions this week that reminded me He is still in control. I saw love, kindness, patience, friendship, loyalty, and determination. It

truly humbled me. My wrestling buddy from Kentucky recently lost his home and nearly everything he owns in a ﬁre. I talked to Anthony on the phone and he said he was ﬁne, but I needed to see him and know that he was okay. His family is alive and that is what matters. He has a son that came to live with him last year and decided that he will wrestle on Anthony’s team. Anthony did not want to burden his son and gave him the option to move back to his mom’s house. Anthony knew it was the fair thing to do, even though it would hurt himself. Anthony’s son looked at him and asked his dad if he was okay. Anthony told his son he was okay. The young man looked at his dad and said, “If you are okay, then I’m okay.” This conversation gave

Anthony strength. It won’t be easy, but Anthony and his family are tough, they know that God is always there and they push forward. Brett King started a Biblestudy group for people that cannot make it to a church during this time. King is a friend of mine I made at church about eight years ago. He helped me put in a ceiling fan in my living room and really just tries to help folks when he can. He loves tractors and telling people about the LORD. King shared with us a story he wrote about his grandma after she died. This is the lady that taught him what it meant to be a Christian. King just glowed when he spoke about this kind lady. King’s grandma would have been proud to see him spreading the love of God to his neighbors. I was just

happy I could support him and can’t wait to see how God continues to use King. My pastor, Mark Tabor always tells us that we need to be the church when we walk out of our meetings around noon on Sunday. He’s right. It’s time to practice what we preach. Anthony told me, “If you haven’t become closer to God and your family during this whole thing, then you have wasted all this time.” He’s right too. It’s not popular to say these things, but they are true. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through Him. I just want people to remember that God is still in control. Don’t let your light burn out. Put that light on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

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

tions include Posey County Special Olympics, Partners for Food, Ministerial Association’s Food Pantry, activities for Premier Healthcare patients, New Harmony Fire Department, and more. Instead of your purchase at Kunstfest this year, we are asking for your financial donation. If you can give, please make your check payable to Saint Stephen’s Episcopal Church, and mail to P.O.

Jesus declares here that His Father sent Him to save the chosen people of Israel. He came to save the Jews. When His mission of saving Israel was complete, then Jesus’ saving work would be carried out to all nations of the world. “Not that salvation was not to be imparted also to the Gentiles, but the Lord had come to his own and among his own, awaiting the first fruits of faith from those people he took his roots from. The others subsequently had to be saved by the preaching of the apostles.” - Hilary of Poitiers. Alright. So Jesus wants to get tough. This woman throws off the gloves and gets to the heart of faith. She throws herself on the ground at Jesus’ feet and worships the Creator of the heaven and earth. She is saying with the prostration of her body that she is not an outsider. She believes. Hear me Lord, Son of David is her prayer. Have mercy upon me Lord. Help me Lord. Her worship confesses Jesus’ words, “Whatever you ask in My Name, I will give you.” (John 14:13) For you, life is the same way. When your life is under trial or you are being tempted by your flesh, the world, or the devil himself, go The Lord Jesus in faith, and ask Jesus for His mercy, help, comfort, and deliverance. Finally, Jesus answers this woman and says, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” What a blow! Jesus refers to this woman as a dog. He is being stern with her. Jesus reminds her once again that she is not part of the Nation of Israel. She’s a Gentile. An Outsider. This woman continues to wrestle with Jesus. She is just like Jacob except she is an outsider. She wrestles with the same faith. She holds fast to the Word made flesh and to all His promises. The Jews rejected Jesus. They wanted Abraham and the Mosaic Law. However, this woman wants the Messiah promised from Abraham. She wants Jesus. So she says to Him, Yes Lord, I am a dog. I come from the land of people who bark at you as they worship their false gods. Yet, even a dog receives from the hand of the

master. She believes Jesus to be the Master, The Lord, the Savior. She wants what only He can give: LIFE to the dying, FREEDOM to those in bondage, HEALING to the sick, SIGHT to the blind, HEARING to the deaf. She says to Jesus, if the Jews don’t want you, give Yourself to those who seek You in faith. Jesus pronounced His forgiveness upon her and granted her request. He healed her daughter and drove out the demon. He set both the woman and her daughter free. Free from oppression of the Law and of Satan. Jesus does these same things for you. He forgives your sins. He breaks your chains of bondage and sets you free. He frees you from the wickedness of your flesh and the world that attack you daily. Jesus’ forgiveness isn’t cheap. It comes with the price of His life which He laid down for you on the cross to atone for your sins. The Good News is that you don’t have to do anything to receive this great gift. It is yours through faith. It is yours by grace alone. Jesus suffering, death, and resurrection earned for you these gifts of the forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation. He earned these for you with His innocent Body and His precious Blood. The very Body and Blood He gives to you today in, with, and under the bread and wine. You are not outsiders. Your humiliation, sins, and arrogance were paid for on the tree and they were buried in the tomb forever. You stand before the throne because Jesus includes you in His kingdom through the washing and regeneration of Holy Baptism. You’re in because Jesus brought you in. You’re saved because Jesus died in your place. You’re forgiven by the Blood of the atonement that flowed from the Lamb of God. You live because Jesus lives. Praise God, you have eternal life because Jesus died and rose on high, which means that all your sins have been forgiven, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, amen. -Rev. Sean Esterline, Messiah Lutheran Church 812-985-2278.

Matthew 15:21-28 Rev. Sean Esterline Please read Matthew 15:21-28 before continuing on here... Okay. Now that you’ve done that, please read on: Have you ever been the outsider? Have you ever just wanted to be included in the group? Maybe the academics? Sports? Drama and musicals? Cheerleaders? Maybe you just wanted to hang in the shadows of the popular kids in school or even the up and coming people at the job. Inclusion is important to the individual. When you aren’t included, you’re humiliated. You might even be shamed because the big kids stuffed you in a locker or maybe the girls mocked you because you weren’t so pretty. Your suffering begins with the hate of others. Saint Matthew tells you about such an outsider. A Gentile. A sinner. A mother. A member of a clan that worships Baal. A land where the devil plays. A woman and mother seeking help from the Great Physician. She comes to Jesus crying out with the same confession many believers cry in

church on Sunday morning: “O Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me.” This dear woman cries the Kyrie Elesion. She cries, not for herself but for her daughter who is possessed by a demon. Her faith in Jesus confesses Him as Lord trusting in His mercy because He is a God of love. She believes Jesus to be the Savior and knows, through faith, that mercy is for the children of God. Jesus answers her nary a word. He only delivers silence. How do you feel when God doesn’t answer you? You hate Him don’t you? You cry out even more and all you get is silence. Repent. Remember, The Lord’s ways are not your ways. His time is not your time. He is God. He will take care of you according to His will. This woman knows the Lord’s ways. She remains steadfast in the faith. Her cries for mercy continue. In fact, her crying is getting to be a nuisance to the disciples. They call out to Jesus and basically command Jesus to send her away. This time, Jesus gives answer to the pleas. He says, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

AUGUST 18, 2020

THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS - PAGE A7

‘North Posey School Board’ continued from Page A1 There was a discussion regarding the raises for teachers, bus drivers and cafeteria personnel. Camp proposed that the Corporation go ahead with the raise for bus drivers and cafeteria personnel. He said that he would prefer to hold off on the raises for teachers until the contract negotiations with teachers had occurred. “There are a lot of new considerations this year. Mike and I can discuss the numbers later.” The Board approved the purchase of Bluebird buses ($92,289 each), along with a special needs bus ($78,925), at a total cost of $256,703. Some buses will be traded in. The Corporation used to have a buyer for its used buses, but this is no longer the case. The buses will be included in the 2021 budget and will be obtained in mid- to late January. “We can now purchase the buses from the general fund, rather than the rainy day fund, as we had done in the past,” Camp explained. Galvin reviewed some of the information regarding the Corporation’s harassment plan. He and Camp said that, while the current plan meets the necessary criteria, they would like to see the plan incorporate general, sexual, racial, and other types of harassment, as well as bullying, into one

policy. Galvin has been in contact with other corporations and officials around the State of Indiana, and had provided the Board members with information regarding changes to the Corporation’s current harassment policy. He indicated that he would like to see the enforcement and investigation portions of the policy strengthened. He also wanted to add more information regarding malicious or false reporting, and address the matter of any possible retaliation toward an individual for reporting any such harassment. Harassment matters would be handled by a compliance officer. An informal process would be offered to the parties initially. In the event the parties were unable to come to a satisfactory agreement or would prefer a more formal hearing process, the same would be made available to them. He said that confidentiality matters would need to be addressed and the necessary steps to monitor such a situation would also need to be incorporated into the plan. A plan incorporating these and the above additions and changes to the Corporation’s plan will be presented to the Board, possibly at the next meeting of the Board.

Camp informed the Board that the Corporation had received 5,000 COVID-19 masks, with more on order, along with 75 thermometers. Hand sanitizing stations have been set up in classrooms and hand sanitizer has been obtained. He said that SABIC had donated eight bottles of the seven-day formula it uses to sanitize its plant, along with 10 spray bottles, masks, gloves and other equipment for the weekly sanitation process. He said that custodians would hit the buses and hot spots in the schools with the formula daily and upon special request by teachers or other staff members. SABIC also provided Lexan for classroom shields. Dr. Ackerman, the Girl Scouts and the Health Department have donated masks for district teachers, students and staff. Countrymark donated $5,000 toward the purchase of masks as well. Camp indicated that the Corporation had received many financial and equipment donations from the public. He will talk with the Corporation’s principals and obtain more information regarding these donations, and provide the same to the Board at the next meeting. Camp’s office and officials from the Mount Vernon School Corporation have been working

closely with the Posey County Health Department in compliance with COVID-19 guidelines. He told the Board that the CDC had made a change to the time period required before an individual could return to school, with regard to having a qualifying temperature, from 78 hours to 24 hours; but he and the Mount Vernon Superintendent would like to leave the 78 hour period in place. Camp was informed that students may workout, but masks will be required and all equipment will be frequently sterilized. The Corporation has received new technical equipment, webcams and microphones, which will be distributed among the teachers, as needed. Galvin, Camp and the Board wanted to commend the Corporation’s custodians for the hard work they have been doing to keep the schools safe for the students. Camp presented a fuel report to the Board. The Board expressed its sympathy regarding the recent passing of Jerry Miser of COVID-19, who was an educator with the Corporation for some 38 years. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

‘Poseyville Town Council’ continued from Page A1 Dispatch, that Marshal Charles Carter was “one of the best in the county about responding to calls and making himself available.” Carter explained to the Council that he previously provided the Council with dispatch logs showing that he personally responds to at least 80 percent of all calls. The town also employs some part-time deputy marshals who also handle calls. He again offered to provide activity logs to the Council for their review. “As it is, I answer calls 24/7 because, when there is no officer available in the north end of the county, response times can be as much as 18 minutes by other departments. I tried using a set schedule for my first two years of service, until I learned from someone at my church that there had been a local break in, with a 20 minute response time from the County,” Carter explained. “I was never dispatched or advised of the incident until two days after it occurred. I can’t respond if I am not called. Sometimes I am not in town when I am off duty and with my family, but I take calls around the clock. I have been so reliable that I even receive calls to respond to North Posey High School.” “As far as overtime is concerned, an investigation can last as long as 24 hours or more.” “I want people to be able to contact me at any time and have shared my personal contact information and cellphone number with many people in town. I turn no one away from my door. I listen to their concerns and attempt to help, no matter how petty the matter might seem. It would be unacceptable to me to not be able to receive calls around the clock.” As to the mutual aid response issue, Carter added that he would be willing to meet with any law enforcement agency or officer at any time to discuss the matter. In an interview with the Posey County News last month, he explained how important it was to him to be able to work and train with other local officers in preparation for any type of incident. He was very pleased with the camaraderie he enjoys with other agencies. Councilman Mike Baehl suggested that Carter provide any information he could to the Council and that the Council discuss the matter once they had been given an opportunity to review the same. Baker agreed that these matters should be discussed in an executive session once the materials were received. For liability reasons, it is recommended that personnel matters be discussed in executive session rather than an open meeting. Although complaint forms are available at the town hall and have been requested by the Council for many years, no signed complaint was presented to the Council by any party for review regarding the matter. Town Clerk Christy Foster informed Carter that the new ordinances regarding weeds and debris in town had been advertised, as required by law, and are now enforceable. Carter indicated that he want-

ed to give everyone an opportunity to review the new weed and debris ordinances in the newspaper, and would begin evaluating situations and issuing letters to offenders at the beginning of each week. Collins informed the Council that he had been seeing junk, jet skis and other vehicles blocking alleyways in town. Carter said that he would look into the matter. Baehl shared that he had been doing quite a bit of walking around town and had noticed an increase in speeders. He was concerned that the new street work might contribute to the problem. After a discussion regarding speed limits and signage, the Council requested that Street Supervisor Jeremy Farrar look into pricing for more signs, and that the Clerk look into funding the purchase, as more street limit signs would make it easier for Carter to enforce speed limits. Carter expressed concern that a town-wide speed limit of 35 miles per hour might be too high in some areas of town. He said that Haubstadt had lowered its speed limit to 20 miles per hour in its residential areas. “I can also run radar in some of the problem spots, especially the new streets. It is always helpful to be provided with witness information regarding repeat offenders, including a vehicle description, so that I can be in the right time and place to issue citations.” Carter will also look into overgrown vegetation reported at the intersection of Saint Francis and Oak Streets. “I also want to remind everyone that school is now in session and drivers need to be extra vigilant. The stop arms on school buses are not suggestions. You must stop.” Baker informed the Council that the rate study had been completed with regard to the sewer plant repairs bond issue. He requested that Baehl meet with Midwestern Engineers regarding the $19,500 preliminary engineering report contract. Once that has been done, a meeting can be held with financial advisor Jim Higgins, with the final step to be Town Attorney William Bender meeting with the Bond Council in Indianapolis. Upon Foster taking office as Clerk/Treasurer, she initially refused a town issued cellphone. Given that she is now using her personal cellphone to conduct town business, both during the day and in the evenings, she requested that the town reimburse her for this expense. She said that she did not want to have to deal with being issued a second phone. Upon motion duly made and seconded, the Council agreed to reimburse Foster’s cellphone expenses. Foster informed the Council that the lobby and drive-thru window at the town hall would remain closed to the public until she receives further information from Governor Holcomb’s office regarding new COVID-19 guidelines. Window service can be made available, however, if an individual contacts the

Clerk’s office for an appointment. Jamie Hyatt, of the utility office, requested that anyone struggling to pay utility bills contact the Clerk’s office to make payment arrangements. “We do not want to shut anyone’s utilities off. We want to work with you.” She explained that account delinquency letters are mailed out around the twenty-fourth of each month, and again encouraged anyone having financial difficulties regarding their bills to contact the office at their earliest convenience. There was a discussion regarding a misunderstanding about services being added to the tower at the fire station. Fire Chief Jeff Droege explained that the tower currently holds several service boxes for the fire department and Posey County Dispatch. He requested permission from the Council to obtain quotes regarding secure barbed wire fencing for the area, along with two keys to be issued to the fire department and central dispatch for access to the tower. He also indicated that he would like to see protocols and/or contracts regarding the addition of any services to the tower, particularly with regard to liability issues. The Council unanimously approved securing the tower area and agreed that anyone wanting to add services to the tower should contact Droege. Droege added that Posey County Dispatch was working on issues with the weather siren. He expected to receive an update the following day. Droege also requested an executive session with the Council to discuss the future of the fire department, along with quotes for outside lights at the firehouse. Baker agreed that such a meeting would be good and could be held at the same time as the meeting with Carter. Baker indicated that he has every confidence in all of the town’s department heads. “They are all very forward thinking and I do not want to see them be micromanaged in any way.” All of the Councilmen expressed their pleasure with the rock work that had been performed around the firehouse by town crews, as did Droege. Farrar updated the Council on the Community Crossings Street Project. He expected the paving work to be completed by the Thursday following the meeting. He said that the paving

had caused some minor traffic issues, but that the contractors had attempted to accommodate school traffic as much as possible, and had provided alternate routes for the same. Farrar indicated that he would insist upon a punch list for all concrete work. All Councilmen and Farrar will conduct a walk-thru with the contractors once the work has been completed. Baker shared that the town had withheld 10 percent of the project costs, subject to the town’s satisfaction with the work. Collins indicated that he would like attorney Bender to review the town’s ordinance regarding plantings on town rights-of-way, which currently forbids the planting of trees and/or shrubs upon town rightsof-way without prior consent from the town. He indicated that he had seen some lowhanging limbs and dead trees that may cause issues. While he understood that this year’s budget was very tight, he would like to have a discussion next year about adding a line item to the budget for the management of such issues. Baker shared that there were two budget line items that could hold any available funds for such purposes. He said the funds were normally used for storm damage clean-up. The Counsel will review the matter at budget time next year. Bender indicated that, due to the age of many of the trees located on town rights-of-way, it would be difficult to determine whether the old or damaged trees were planted by the town or by homeowners. He will review the ordinance and the Council will discuss the matter again in the future. Collins questioned the mowing of a small area of grass located by Regional Medical Center, which is presently mowed by the town whenever town crews are mowing the Community Center property across the street. The Medical Center is owned by the Poseyville Medical Foundation, a 501(c)(3) notfor-profit organization, of which Baker is a board member. Baker explained that the community-based Medical Foundation owns the Medical Center. It maintains and leases the same to the Burkett doctors. The Foundation also sponsors the Breast Mobile and provides donations to causes that benefit the community of Poseyville, such as the after school program sponsored by Saint Paul’s

‘Yoga’ continued from Page A1

Lisa Calvert, also one of the four original members, likes ‘the Warrior II’ pose and ‘the Pigeon’ pose. She says the poses help her with strength, flexibility and balance. “I do feel so much better since I started doing yoga. I suffered from lower back pain for years and my physical therapist encouraged me to try yoga. I haven’t had to go back to her for a revisit since.” Like Redman, Calvert also loves doing the exercises outdoors and hopes it will continue on the parking lot until winter weather drives them inside. “We do so enjoy the birdsong, the breeze, and the blue sky of the early morning!” Namaste, Ladies. Keep it up!

United Methodist Church. He said that the town does mow a couple of strips of grass by the Medical Center, but he maintains the shrubbery and does the weeding himself. He said that the mowing would likely only cost around $100 per year if the Foundation hired it done. He said that the town has always been very good about providing some services to local community-oriented notfor-profit clubs and organizations, such as assisting the local Youth Baseball 501(c)(3) at the ballparks to the tune of around $4,000-5,000 in a normal year. He added that Baehl has always been very good about assisting with electrical work and coaching. Senior citizens, the Kiwanis, Scouts and other not-forprofit groups that are of great benefit to the community are permitted to use the Community Center free of charge. The town also pays the Autumnfest electric bill. Baker feels that all of the above organizations have a great impact upon the quality of life in Poseyville, and that the services provided by the town to them is well worth it. He would not like to see any of this charitable work be discontinued. Baehl felt that the mowing could not take very long and he felt it was worth it to the town to continue mowing the small area of grass. Collins said that the town should then be responsible for mowing at all of the churches. Baker disagreed. Collins made a motion that the mowing at the Medical Center be discontinued. There was no second and the said motion died. Baehl requested that the utility office contact Duke Energy regarding a light located at the park beside the police department. Foster indicated that her office would take care of the matter. He added that, while it was a short season, the children were able to have some fun at the ballparks this year. Baker said that he hoped next year would be a better year, as he enjoyed seeing the children use the ballparks. Foster informed the Council

that she is still waiting to hear from the Community Foundation regarding the building of a new shelter house at the town park on Cynthiana Road. The Council thanked her for her attention to the matter. Collins indicated that a couple of individuals from out of town had been interested in scheduling an event at the Community Center, but did not know how to contact Bernie Fehribach, the Community Center Manager. He asked whether it might be possible for the Clerk’s office to handle the scheduling, have Carter handle the opening and closing of the building, and have the Manager be responsible for the maintenance and cleaning of the building. Baker indicated that Fehribach had done an exceptional job in both maintaining the building and scheduling events, and he did not want to see anything added to the many duties of the Clerk. He said that individuals who call the town hall regarding the Community Center are provided with Fehribach’s contact information. Baehl suggested that Fehribach provide the Council with a list of the services he provides for the town regarding the Community Center. Fehribach will provide the information and the same will be discussed at the next executive session. Baker asked whether anyone had contacted the Clerk prior to 48 hours requesting to speak at the meeting. The Clerk responded that there had been no such requests. Subject to changes in Governor Holcomb’s COVID-19 guidelines, the next regular meeting of the Council on September 15, 2020, at 5:30 p.m., will be held via Zoom. In the event it becomes possible to hold an in-person meeting at the Community Center, the wearing of masks and social distancing guidelines will be required. More information will be provided by the Clerk’s office on the town’s Facebook page prior to the meeting. Anyone wishing to appear on the agenda to speak with the Council must contact the Clerk’s office at least 48 hours prior to the meeting.

At the request of the successful bidder, the Bonds may be issued as fully registered Bonds in book entry only form, registered in the name of Cede &amp; Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”).

The Bonds maturing on and after January 1, 2030, are redeemable at the option of the Issuer on July 1, 2029, or any date thereafter, on thirty (30) days’ notice, in whole or in part, in the order of maturity as determined by the Issuer and by lot within a maturity, at face value plus accrued interest to the date fixed for maturity.

No conditional bid or bid for less than 99.25% of the face value of said Bonds will be considered. The right is reserved to reject any and all bids. If no satisfactory bids are received at the time and on the date fixed for the sale, the sale may be continued from day to day thereafter without further advertisement for a period of thirty (30) days, during which time no bid which provides a higher net interest cost to the Issuer than the best bid received at the time of the advertised sale will be considered.

As set forth in the hereinafter described Official Statement, each bidder agrees by submission of its bid to assist the Issuer in establishing issue price of the Bonds. In the event that the Issuer fails to receive a bid on the Bonds from at least three Underwriters (as hereinafter defined), the Issuer shall so advise the successful bidder for the Bonds (such successful bidder, the “Purchaser”). If the Purchaser is an Underwriter intending to resell all or any portion of the Bonds to the Public (as hereinafter defined), the Purchaser must, prior to acceptance of its bid by the Issuer, either (i) agree in writing to neither offer nor sell any of the Bonds to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price for each maturity of Bonds during the Holding Period (as hereinafter defined) for any maturity of the Bonds or (ii) request in writing that the Issuer treat the first price at which 10% of a maturity of the Bonds (the 10% test) is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity, applied on a maturity-by-maturity basis. For purposes of this Notice of Intent to Sell Bonds, (a) the term “Public” shall mean any person (including an individual, trust, estate, partnership, association, company, or corporation) other than an Underwriter or a related party to an Underwriter, (b) the term “related party” means any two or more persons who have greater than 50 percent common ownership, directly or indirectly, (c) the term “Underwriter” means (i) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the Issuer (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public, and (ii) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (i) of this paragraph to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a retail distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public), (d) the term “Underwriters” means more than one Underwriter, and (e) the term “Holding Period” means the period starting on the date the Issuer awards the Bonds to the Purchaser (the “Sale Date”) and ending on the earlier of (i) the close of the fifth business day after the Sale Date, or (ii) the date on which the Underwriter has sold at least 10% of each maturity of the Bonds to the Public at prices that are no higher than the initial offering price for such maturity of the Bonds. Any Underwriter executing and delivering a bid with respect to the Bonds agrees thereby that if its bid is accepted by the Issuer (i) it shall accept such designation and (ii) it shall enter into a contractual relationship with all participating underwriters of the Bonds for purposes of assuring the receipt of each such participating underwriter of the Final Official Statement. The Purchaser shall be responsible for providing (i) in writing the initial reoffering prices and other terms, if any, to the Municipal Advisor as and at the time requested and (ii) a certification verifying information as to the bona fide initial offering prices of the Bonds to the Public and sales of the Bonds appropriate for determination of the issue price of, and the yield on, the Bonds under Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as and at the time requested by the City’s bond counsel. Additional information regarding the establishment of the issue price is set forth in the Official Statement, including the appendices thereto, relating to the Bonds. The opinion of Bose McKinney &amp; Evans LLP, bond counsel, of Indianapolis, Indiana, approving the legality of said Bonds, together with a transcript of the bond proceedings, and closing certificates in the usual form showing no litigation, will be furnished to the successful bidder at the expense of the Issuer. The City reserves the right to adjust principal amounts within maturities to achieve the financial objectives of the City with respect to its current and future annual debt service on the Outstanding Bonds, based upon the rates bid by the successful bidder, and coverage and/or amortization requirements on the Outstanding Bonds. In addition, the City reserves the right to increase/decrease the entire principal amount of the Bonds issued based on the actual interest rates bid by the successful bidder. The City also reserves the right to adjust the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds so that at least $13,100,000 is received by the City from the successful bidder in connection with the sale of the Bonds. If the maximum principal amount of the Bonds issued increases/decreases, the City reserves the right to adjust principal amounts within maturities based on the parameters set forth in this paragraph. CUSIP identification numbers may be printed on the Bonds if requested by the successful bidder; provided, however, that neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect thereto shall constitute cause for failure or refusal by the successful bidder therefor to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds in accordance with the terms of its bid. No CUSIP identification number shall be deemed to be a part of any Bond or a part of the contract evidenced thereby, and no liability shall hereafter attach to the Issuer or any of its officers or agents because of or on account of such numbers. All expenses in relation to the printing of CUSIP identification numbers on the Bonds shall be paid for by the Issuer; provided, however, that the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of said numbers shall be the responsibility of and shall be paid for by the successful bidder. The successful bidder will also be responsible for any other fees or expenses it incurs in connection with the resale of the Bonds,including any charges in connection with DTC. The Bonds are being issued under the provisions of Indiana Code 8-1.5 for the purpose of procuring funds to apply on (i) the refunding of the Refunded Bonds and (ii) issuance costs of the Bonds. The Bonds will be payable solely out of a special fund from the net revenues of the waterworks of the Issuer. The Issuer has reserved the right to issue additional bonds ranking on a parity with the Bonds upon certain terms and conditions specifically set forth in the ordinance authorizing the issuance of the Bonds. In the opinion of Bose McKinney &amp; Evans LLP, bond counsel, under the federal statutes, decisions, regulations and rulings existing on this date, the interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation. The Bonds are subject to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as in effect on the date of their issuance (“Code”) which imposes limitations on the issuance of obligations such as the Bonds under federal tax law. The Issuer has covenanted to comply with those limitations to the extent required to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The Issuer has designated the Bonds as qualified tax-exempt obligations for purposes of Section 265(b) of the Code. In order to assist bidders in complying with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12, as in effect on the date of delivery of the Bonds, the Issuer will undertake, pursuant to a Continuing Disclosure Undertaking Agreement, to provide audited financial statements, certain operating data and notices of certain events. A form of this Continuing Disclosure Undertaking Agreement is available upon request at the offices of Bond Counsel, Brenda K. DeVries, Bose McKinney &amp; Evans LLP, 111 Monument Circle, Suite 2700, Indianapolis, IN 46204. The Issuer has prepared an Official Statement relating to the Bonds which it deems to be nearly final. A copy of the nearly final Official Statement may be obtained from the Municipal Advisor. Information concerning the Issuer may be obtained from the Municipal Advisor. Within seven (7) business days of the sale, the Issuer will provide the successful bidder of each issue of Bonds with 10 copies of the final Official Statement at the Issuer’s expense and such additional copies as may be requested, within five (5) business days of the sale, by the successful bidder at the expense of the successful bidder. Inquiries concerning matters contained in the nearly final Official Statement must be made and pricing and other information necessary to complete the final Official Statement must be submitted by the successful bidder within two (2) business days following the sale to be included in the final Official Statement.

The bed from hell...

B D P Into every life, some rain must fall. But shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there be a limit? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to take a break from all the negative things going on around our world right now and give you an idea as to how things can go if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t watch out for them. It started nearly two years ago. My wife and I decided that it might be time to downsize from a house on Church Street in Poseyville to a house about the same size but on three levels and on Main Street in town. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure who thought all the way through this move (if anyone did at all). But for those who drive by our little corner of the world, you can hopefully see that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried to enhance the appearance of the outdoors with a yard barn, a picket fence, and tons of ďŹ&#x201A;owers and landscaping. But while things have been going well on the outside, trouble has been brewing on the inside. And strangest of all items to give us trouble, it turns out that our bed has been the source of pain. The day we moved in, we realized that someone didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think all the way through our bedroom situation. Not long before we had moved, we had bought a king size bedroom suit with all the pieces. It was something we had both wanted for a long time. It had given us plenty of room to be together and on those nights when togetherness isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the desired result, there was plenty of room to sleep in the same bed without having to touch each other. Oh, you self-righteous people, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even act like you have not had nights like that. So, as the movers helped get the bedroom furniture in the house, it was quite evident that IF the bed itself would ďŹ t into the smaller bedroom in our house here, there would be room ONLY for the bed. Trying to ďŹ t in the chest-of-drawers, the dresser, and the night stands would be a joke. So, we decided to lose our shirts and allow one of my wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-workers to buy the expensive bedroom suit that we loved at about one-fourth of the price we had paid for it just a few months before. But that was only the beginning of the trouble. We decided to head to a furniture store

where we could go from a king bed to a queen bed and buy a suit with much more narrow drawers which also lacked depth and was cheap. With some eďŹ&#x20AC;ort, we ďŹ nally got the suit to ďŹ t, but with very little additional space in the room. Being the man of the house, I felt it should be my obligation to try the suit in every possible arrangement to see if we could possibly ďŹ nd an extra foot or two of space. In the old house, we each had a walk-in closet. In the house where we now live, we have a closetâ&#x20AC;ŚIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just leave it at that. So late one evening, at the encouragement of my wife, we decided to try and rearrange the room to make some space. My wife had eye-balled it and she believed that a caddycornered bed could save us some space. So I grabbed the pieces of furniture and began to move them around. While her heart was in the right place, nothing else was. To make this work, we would have to take down some exterior walls that evening. It really wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feasible. So I returned all the pieces to their original positions and decided we would just have to make it work. That was, until I lifted on the headboard of the bed and, yes, you guessed it. It split right down the middle and left the rail on my side lying on the ďŹ&#x201A;oor. Fortunately, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a problem solver. I had a small ďŹ le cabinet next to my bed so I propped the rail up with the ďŹ le cabinet but that still left nothing solid to hold up the headboard. I was obviously prepared for this too. The bed had been pulled out from the wall and I discovered that a Febreeze can positioned strategically between the headboard and the wall would get us by, at least for a night or two. Like all good plans, this one went on far longer than I ever anticipated. But after bouncing around on my side of the bed and the future of my sleep uncertain, I decided to take it upon myself to ďŹ nd a bed. I found a bed fairly quickly that I liked and I told the guy I would take it. Not thinking there would be a problem, I loaded up the big four-poster bed and brought it home. My wife was so frustrated that it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to match that she sat in the living room without speaking to me while I took the old bed out into the garage and brought the new bed in the house in pieces. She constantly told me how hideous it looked but at least I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

going to have to worry about which was going to give way ďŹ rst, the ďŹ le cabinet or the Febreeze can. Low and behold, it took everything I had to get the bed in and set up but there was one little thing I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t counted on. Our old bed was low and was very easy for my wife to get it. It was all I could do to get into this bed and I could only imagine what was going to be said when she came to try to get into it. It was a good foot-and-a-half to two feet higher than the old mattress. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty bed and the posters nearly reach the ceiling. I got into bed ďŹ rst and waited for the fury with which I would be greeted when my wife would try to get into the bed. It was only a few minutes when I heard, â&#x20AC;&#x153;how and I supposed to climb into that bed?â&#x20AC;? Inside, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to admit I chuckled a little. Served her right for not being a part of the big move-in process. That night was like an episode of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lucyâ&#x20AC;? as we laughed till we nearly cried as she stalked the bed, looking for a good way for her barely ďŹ ve-foot frame to make it up on the almost four-foot high mattress, She resembled a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader at times as she ďŹ rst would raise one foot and then the other, trying desperately to get into bed. Then I made a few suggestions but none of which she wanted to hear. Finally, I suggested that she get the little two-step ladder out of the closet and use it to climb up into the bed. I made a promise that I would dispose of the old broken bed quickly. I made my way to the garage with the old bed in tow after several trips the next morning. I also took out the old mattresses and

What You Need To Know About Coronavirus Testing

Letter to the Editor

B J J R I got up at 5 a.m. this morning and smiled at that teenager who had to threaten himself to get out of bed for a 6:00 a.m. two-a-day football practice a few years ago. Ah, the joy of putting on cold, smelly, sweaty pads from the previous dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6:00 p.m. practice and stumbling over to the ďŹ eld to be greeted by Draculas disguised as coaches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hurry up! Git with it! Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re burn-

sat them up in the garage. But my new truck sat in the driveway for several days as the old broken bed was sheltered in the garage and on the ďŹ&#x201A;oor of the side where my truck should have been. I ďŹ nally made room in the back of my truck and loaded the old bed. How much trouble could it be to get rid of a torn up wood bed? It only took a day or two for my sister in Illinois to realize that we had an extra box springs and mattress and that her daughter was in need of one. So, it was necessary to empty the bed out of the back of the truck and load the mattress and box springs so they could take them to Illinois. So the old bed didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even make it to the landďŹ ll or the burn pile without being unloaded again and back in the garage. The mattress and box springs made it safely to Illinois but it would be another week or two of parking outside before I would ďŹ nd the time to load up the bed again and take it somewhereâ&#x20AC;Śat this point, anywhere. So I headed oďŹ&#x20AC; to Evansville on my way to work and proudly made my way to the landďŹ ll. Little did I know that they have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;minimum chargeâ&#x20AC;? and they wanted $57.50 for me to unload the old bed onto a heap pile. Well, if you know me very well, you know thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to happen. So for over a week, I have been driving everywhere I go with a broken bed in the back of the truck. Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really use the bed of the truck for anything but at least it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost me $57.50. So if you see an old bed laying alongside one of the roadways somewhere in rural Posey County, just move along and mind your business. The late summer winds can get pretty brisk in Posey County.

Testing! Testing! Testing! Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what the experts say is necessary to move the country back to normalcy. Almost daily, local TV stations in New York City where I live run public service announcements urging viewers to get a test for COVID-19. Those announcements tell how to ďŹ nd a testing site, and most point out that the tests are free. Many New Yorkers, as well as people in other states, are undoubtedly confused about the kinds of tests available, wonder about the delays in getting results, and worry about the testsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reliability. The recent experience of Gov. Mike DeWine of Ohio, who ďŹ rst tested positive for the virus and then negative on subsequent tests, illustrates the potential problems with the County chairmen ask for respect for signs testsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; accuracy.

Carr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This disease has only been around since February, and we have to do more research.â&#x20AC;? She explained that some people have COVID symptoms for a long time. They may go on for months and wax and wane. In those cases, are people exhibiting a long course of the same infection or several separate infections? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really not clear what the antibody tests means at this point.â&#x20AC;?

nose and throat. A health care worker collects a sample by inserting a 6-inch swab through a nostril and obtaining some cells from the upper part of your throat. Another, simpler test is less invasive. The swab reaches only an inch or so inside the nose and is more comfortable for the patient. Experts now believe the simpler test may work almost as well, but health care workers giving the test may also swab the back of your throat to obtain a more robust sample. Carr told me that the FDA has now authorized do-it-yourself tests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shallower nasal swab test â&#x20AC;&#x153;but not quite as accurate.â&#x20AC;? Another test requires users to spit in a test tube and send it to the lab. Both these kinds of tests are â&#x20AC;&#x153;probably pretty good,â&#x20AC;? Carr says, and have been useful in places where testing materials have been in short supply. Gov. DeWine reports that the ďŹ rst test he took, which gave a false positive result, was an antigen test. His later tests were PCR tests that, as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve explained, examine virus cells taken from a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nasal passages. DeWine called the PCR test â&#x20AC;&#x153;very, very, very reliable,â&#x20AC;? and added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;People should not take away from my experience that testing is not reliable or doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really work.â&#x20AC;? In fact, testing and contact tracing, the practice of following up with people who have been in contact with a person who has tested positive for the disease, are major defenses against the spread of the virus. People identiďŹ ed through contact tracing are advised to self-isolate or get tested themselves. Carr told me that the length of time people wait to get their test results â&#x20AC;&#x153;varies quite a lotâ&#x20AC;? with some people waiting as long as two weeks to ďŹ nd out if they have the disease. In general, though, you can expect a test result within a week. But if you think you have COVID, â&#x20AC;&#x153;you really need to be quarantining the whole timeâ&#x20AC;? you are waiting for results. Carr had a last piece of advice: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody should have to pay for their tests.â&#x20AC;? Under new laws passed this spring, COVID testing is now free with no cost sharing. Congress has made it possible for those without insurance to get free tests through their state Medicaid programs. Check with your state since a few states have not yet adopted that policy.

The joys Of August ing daylight here and it is already nearing 90 degrees.â&#x20AC;? This was the refrain from the Knute Rockne wannabes who had a vision of our high school team being immortalized in the pantheon of pigskin glory. Actually, my senior year at Pawhuska Oklahoma High School our coaches devised three August weeks of three-a-day practices: full contact pads from 6:00-8:00 a.m. then skull practice from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m. followed by limited contact and play drills from 6:00

p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Out of an overdose of humanity they only required wind sprints at the end of the evening session. These pleasant memories arose early this morning after I heard that numerous colleges and several major conferences such as the Big Ten and Pac-12 had cancelled their 2020 football seasons due to â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ole 19. My ďŹ rst selďŹ sh thought was why hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that happened before my fellow galley slaves and I had to crawl out of bed before the sun got up. My next selďŹ sh thought was I

sure hope the whole countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football season is not lost. Peg and I are rabid fans of high school and college football, not so much pro. We have spent hundreds of enjoyable hours in front of a big screen TV sipping beverages and eating guacamole as we watch young men risk their bodies and psyches for our entertainment. And the best part for me is, no wind sprints. Getting out of bed at 5:00 a.m. does not cause the angst it did when I was sixteen but I am fairly sure my attempt at running forty yards now

would not be pretty. Our son and two of our grandsons played high school football but they have matriculated onto other pursuits. Still, we enjoy watching and cheering on other young athletes who have shown the character to endure the month of August and drill sergeants passing for coaches. Of course, each school and each parent and each athlete must have the right to decide these issues for themselves. And if Peg and I have to forego a season of football we completely understand and support

whatever decisions others make. After all, for us itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainment. For others it could be something else. Regardless, at least now when 5:00 a.m. rolls around and I am lying there wide awake I know all that awaits me is a cup of coďŹ&#x20AC;ee.

Dixon was asked by City Councilwoman Dana Baldwin for an update on repairs to the weather sirens. He replied new hardware has been put on two of them in the last two weeks and they are now working dependably.They will be tested next Wednesday, August 19. Chief Dixon said they are working on the Hedges siren at this time and it is not quite one hundred percent ready, but should be soon. He said he has five sirens for the city and is considering adding another siren to the roster. “We do not have correct decibel coverage around the Hawg N’ Sauce Restaurant area and that is where we would probably install it,” he noted. In other board action: --Utilities Superintendent Chuck Gray reported his department has flushed 10,178 feet of main since the last meeting. Street Commissioner Max Dieterle stated they had eight special pick-ups that generated $420 in extra revenue; and hauled 130 tons of trash to the land since the last report. He asked permission for Donnie Rye to use the city credit card and vehicle to attend mosquito and right-ofway schooling in Danville, Indiana on August 26 and 27. The board unanimously approved use of the card for hotel and food expenses and the vehicle use. --Dieterle reported his crews worked on mowing two properties, received in violation of the Weed Ordinance by Code Enforcement. Board member Hoehn asked if the number of properties requiring mowing was up or down from years past. Dieterle speculated that this year’s number is down from the previous year, as some of the properties they used to mow have been sold. -- Curtis mentioned he and Board member Hoehn met with GAF on August 11. The meeting was productive and GAF and Country-

Mark will both be covering the expenses for the signs. Hoehn said the businesses involved want to work with the city and he feels they are moving in the right direction. -- The board voted to authorize Curtis to sign a Memo of Understanding (MOU) with Deaconess for the lease of the old city street department building at 232 W. Second Street as a COVID testing site for ten months. have a testing facility locally, especially after the board enacted that employees who leave the state for five consecutive days have to get tested before coming back to work. This would be much easier than going to the Lynch Road location,” Mayor Curtis commented. Attorney Beth McFadin Higgins led a discussion concerning possible reimbursement of utilities costs (water, sewer, Vectren) since the Posey County Department of Health in association with Deaconess would be using that site until June 2021. It was agreed by the board that the city should not have to cover the entire cost and that Deaconess should be responsible for a certain percent of the utilities over an average bill.--Russ Burnett attended the meeting to address a drainage ditch issue on his property on Greenbrier Drive in Country Club Estates. A ditch at the site is basically being used as a storm sewer and it is seriously eroding his yard. Board members Hoehn and Dodd both indicated they had been to the area and took a look at it. Mayor Curtis stated he has looked at it as well and suggested they verify that it is not a culvert causing this. Discussion then turned to finding, and confirming a right way to fix the situation, as it is clearly a sewer without a top on it and a city issue. Burnett was asked to agree to hold the city harmless on any work damage done to his property if they proceed. It was then discussed that there are other resident cases, other ditches, and what is done for one, will set a precedent and should then be done for all. Board member Dodd agreed it would be setting a precedent and added they need to be sure it is the correct precedent they would be setting. It was decided by the board to gather more information on the easement and possibly table this issue until information is received. Attorney Higgins was asked to look into case law on sewers, statutes, history, and city ordinances before they make a final decision. It was decided that as the general information being gathered pertains to anything that directs water to a tributary, time permitting, they will also gather the same information on Mill Creek. The report might be ready by the next board meeting in two weeks. --Curtis stated he has met with the engineer on the demo of the Tresslar Building, and he indicated the bid packets will be out soon and circulated once they are complete. There are two drafts and they are about done. He met with the engineers and Phil Wells on Tuesday, atop the Buds Hardware roof, as they all want to be sure what is actually between the Tresslar wall and the Bud’s Hardware wall before starting demolition.

parents retired, she and Bud also took over the management of Thornburg Eggs at the Macadoo Valley Farm. The highlight of Sandra’s professional career was the 16 years she served the people of Posey County as a publicly elected official. In 1990, Sandra was elected as the Circuit Court Clerk, a position she proudly held for eight years. During her tenure, she was very active in the Association of the Clerks of the Circuit Courts of Indiana, serving on both the Legislative and Audit Committees. She also served on the Review Committee for the Indiana Support Enforcement Tracking System (ISETS), a statewide child support information and disbursement system, which was rolled-out by the Indiana Family & Social Services Administration during her tenure. Sandra stood firm about her concerns with the new system, even meeting personally with then Governor Frank O’Bannon to advocate on behalf of the children and parents of Indiana. In 1998, voters chose Sandra to represent them as the Posey County Recorder. She served eight years in that role, and held a position on the Board of Directors for the Indiana Recorder’s Association. In addition to her public service, Sandra was a fierce cancer warrior. A multi-time survivor, she was first diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in 1991. After beating back the disease with surgery and aggressive treatment, her breast cancer returned 19 years later. In 2010, Sandra was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, but she kept faith, was undeterred, and beat it back once again. In 2018, she was newly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She endured multiple surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation, and other extensive treatment, but despite it all, kept a positive outlook and remained determined. Sandra believed that attitude was the most important thing – noting that “when the Lord gives you lemons, you make lemonade.” She spent the past few years frequently traveling to California and Mexico to spend time with her daughters and grandchildren. One of the great joys of her life were her twin grandsons, who affectionately called her “Grammie.” The boys filled her with a special happiness, and she was blessed to spend her final days with them by her side. Through it all, Sandra kept her faith in God. For most of her life,

she was a member and lector at Holy Angels Catholic Church in New Harmony, IN. She and Bud also attended St. Wendel Catholic Church, and were active in the Knights of St. John and St. Ann’s Auxiliary. To help others impacted by cancer, Sandra served as a board member and service chairman for the Posey County Cancer Society, and participated in the Relay for Life walks. Sandra donated cancer tissue and enrolled in every study available to her – she felt if she could help just one other person, it would all be worth it. Much of her recent care was provided by the talented doctors and staff at UC San Diego Health Moores Cancer Center, where her daughter, Laurie, is a nursing supervisor. The cutting-edge research and care rendered at Moores is changing how cancer is treated today, and to that end, a special fund has been created to help advance experimental treatments in Sandra’s honor. Due to COVID-19, the memorial services to celebrate her life will be postponed until we can safely have a gathering large enough to accommodate everyone. At that time, Sandra will be buried at Laurel Hill Cemetery in Wadesville, IN.

S Viking scrimmage gives opportunity to make adjustments By Dave Pearce After pounding around on each other since the beginning of football practice in this most unusual year, the North Posey football Vikings were excited about getting a chance to see how it feels to hit someone besides a teammate. The Vikings got the opportunity on Saturday morning when the team traveled to Washington to face off against a Washington team that will be competing in the Pocket Athletic Conference along with the Vikings this season. And while Coach Waylon Schenk wasn’t ready to give away any secrets, he did say that the most important thing about his team was that they showed up in Washington and they competed. “We competed and that’s a good sign,” Schenk said. “I felt like our kids were physical and that we were better this week than we were last week.” The Vikings got their first action under the lights light week in a controlled intra squad game on the Viking home turf. Schenk said he saw a lot of things that needed improvement in the first week and it was good to see the team correcting some of the mistakes the players had

Wildcats just happy to hit someone besides themselves cent that this team has what it takes to go to Heritage Hills and surprise people. But it will take a supreme effort and this week has to be perfect. “Let’s focus as a team and pull together and we can go up there and prove everyone wrong,” Messmer said. “Get your mind right and just ask yourself how good can we be by Friday.” When given his turn to talk, defensive coordinator Justin Fisher told the team he was proud of their performance. “The first thing is, we appreciate what you have done so far,” Fisher told the team. “Coach Snodgrass told me on the sideline that this team is so much more physical and is in so much better shape than past teams. But there are some upperclassmen who need to get tougher. You have to push yourselves to get tougher. Allow yourselves to be pushed and play as hard as you can.” Coach Lopez told the team that he is proud of the effort but the execution has to get much

better. “Too many missed blocks, too many missed tackles, and too many missed reads,” Lopez told the team. “If you want to go up there with a chance to win next week, we have to get better. This week in practice, be ready to be coached. Coaching is like medicine. You may not like the way it tastes but it is going to be good for you in the long run. It starts with preparation on Monday. You can’t just go through the motions on Monday and expect to win on Friday night. Be happy but don’t be satisfied.” Messmer said after the practice that filming the practices and the scrimmages gives the coaches great tools to be able to address specific issues. “If you’re not doing your responsibility, it’s going to stick out like a sore thumb on the film,” Messmer said. “To be able to face an opposing team to be able to see those things

and those guys are starting to play as a unit instead of as individuals. Guys are communicating. They are a tight group of kids both on and off the field. I think that is starting to pay some dividends on the football field.” Offensively, the team returns a pair of quarterbacks who split time last season and it could be the same this year, depending on what happens over the next few days. “Both Jaxon (Wiggins) and Harold (Bender) took snaps at quarterback and both of them commanded the offense. Both of them ran their own individual types of plays we had scripted for them and both of them executed it well. I feel good about our depth and our ability to move the ball a lot better than we did

last year.” The offense was solid in the turnover department, too. “We didn’t have any turnovers and we didn’t have any negative plays,” Schenck said with cautious optimism. “I thought we did what we wanted to do. We didn’t show much but we still were pretty productive on offense.” All 48 players who made the trip got some repetitions and that’s good not only for the payers but also for the coaches, to be able to see how the players are going to handle the limelight. “Brady had a good game even though he had limited touches. We know what he can do,” Schenk said. “Litzenich, probably the top

target at receiver, had a good night both carrying the ball and catching the ball. Dalton Hill had a good outing as did Dylan Teeter. Lucas Bass had two touchdowns today too and he’s a kid that is very physical and when he figures it out, he’s going to be really good for us. Pound for pound, he is the strongest kid we have and he’s fast.” Wiggins saw some action as a receiver when he wasn’t calling the signals and Clay Douglas caught a couple of passes as did Dalton Reidford, a transfer from Reitz who adds another dimension to the team. Schenk said that now comes the fun part of the season when you actually got to put a game plan together for the team you will be facing

on Friday night. It is a different approach than in a scrimmage. “We’ve been working hard for this all summer and now we get to sit down as a staff and break down another team and get ready for them and that’s the fun part,” Schenk said with excitement. “Hopefully we can put our kids in a good position to where they can take a game plan and execute it.” The Vikings will open on the road this Friday night at South Spender where they will face a new team and a new coach. The new coach is familiar with North Posey as he has been with the Tecumseh program. The game starts at 7 p.m. at South Spencer High School in Reo.

in a game situation is so valuable. We will evaluate that like crazy this weekend and get back to it on Monday and get as good as we can get by Friday night.” Messmer said he was extremely pleased with the amount of depth on the team. He saw

many freshman and sophomores making big plays against a very well-respected Tell City senior-laden team. The younger players didn’t shy away from the “bright lights” and it appears that up and down the line-up, the team is ready to play, like he thought they would be.

As for preparation, although it wasn’t planned, Tell City runs a similar offense to that of Heritage Hills so it gave his team a chance to gain familiarity with some of the things they will see on Friday night in Lincoln City. But Messmer was also impressed with the senior leadership he saw on the team Friday evening. Although numbers-wise, this is not a big class, the seniors know this is their last goround and they want to make it count. “The best thing I can say about the leaders is how they have been able to remain positive when there have been so many things this year that could have gotten them down,” Messmer said. ”They have not dropped their head for one second and they have never stopped leading. And tonight, you could tell how hungry they were. They have been waiting for their chance as seniors. They played really hard and really well.” Ritzert and Trevor Frisby were singled out for their efforts to lead the 54 players on this year’s squad. The freshman class is a very large class and the eight grade class this season is also a large contingent. Messmer said that going up against such a tradition-rich program will give the team a measuring stick as to where they are and how Members of the North Posey High School girls’ soccer team are allo smiles after win- far they have to go after Friday night. ning their jamboree 6-0. Pictured left to right are Kennedy Devine, Hayleigh Latham, “It’s exciting because everyone looks at Tori Crawford, Brooke Coleman and Lauren Zirkelbach.

were state runner-ups last year,” Messmer said of the first week’s opponent. “I loved the defense tonight,” Messmer said. “Guys were doing what we coached them to do. Even if we get beat physically, if they are doing what we coached them to do, that’s all you can ask.” Offensively, Hoehn and Niko Burnett each took a lot of snaps at quarterback. Messmer said it will take more time to look at film but the coaches have a pretty good idea where things stand, as far as strengths and weaknesses. Brady Hook picked up where he left off last season in the backfield. Messmer said he believes the blocking scheme up front is catered to Hook’s style of running. Messmer said the team struggled passing the ball down the field and he believes that aspect still needs more work. Jayden Wilson looked good in his routes. “The scrimmage was a good test but now you get a chance to go show what you are really made of. The team last year was a whole different team and we are a different team. All we are going to do all week is prepare to see how good we can be by Friday.”

Report of disturbance leads to arrest of Owensville man On August 13, 2020, at 11:31 p.m. Gibson County Central Dispatch received a report of a disturbance in the 400 block of West Warrick Street in Owensville, Indiana. While enroute to the scene Deputy Loren Barchett was advised that one of the parties 36-year-old Nicholas Byrns of Owensville had left the scene in a Tan 1988 Chevrolet Truck. Owensville Officer Jason Wright located the vehicle on South Elm Street and began an investigation. While speaking with Byrns Wright detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage. At that point Wright and Barchett began a roadside DUI investigation. During the investigation Byrns attempted to flee the

Nicholas Byrns scene and was taken into custody. At the conclusion of the DUI investigation and the investigation of the initial disturbance Byrns was taken into custody and transported to the

Gibson County Jail. Upon arriving at the jail Byrns was charged with Intimidation of a Law Enforcement Officer, Possession of a Legend Drug, Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated/Refusal, Possession of a Controlled Substance, Resisting Law Enforcement/ Fighting, and Disorderly Conduct. Byrns was also cited for Driving While Suspended/Infraction, Operating a Vehicle Without Proof of Financial Responsibility, and an Open Container Violation. Byrns remains in custody on a $750 bond. Assisting Deputy Barchett and Officer Wright in their investigation was Sgt. John Fischer of the Gibson County Sheriff’s Office.

WMI News - WMI’s Artifact Under Exam Recently examined at the Working Men’s Institute is this 19th century coffee roaster, that once belonged to Virgil Soper, and then passed to his son, John T. Soper. The person who donated the roaster to the WMI was John’s wife, Julia Osborn Soper. It is constructed of cast iron and the roasting component is divided into two sections. Once the two sections are separated, the green coffee beans are placed inside. There is a tripod that the roaster is set onto before it is placed over a burner on a wood fired kitchen stove. Its handle is then turned until the coffee beans have been roasted. It is the user who determines when it is time to stop turning and remove it from the heat after the beans go through a two-stage popping process. The coffee beans make a sound comparable to popcorn when it is being popped. In coffee roasting this is called the “first crack.” The beans will go through a “second crack” as they go through the popping process again. It is after the second popping process that the coffee is done. The age of the roaster, ascertained from the dates when Virgil Soper lived, the dates that are molded onto the iron frame of the roaster, and

the operating dates of the company that made it, is one hundred sixty-one years old. It was manufactured in 1859. This roaster dates from a time when most coﬀee was roasted at home. It was not until the 1900s that coﬀee became more commercially roasted than being roasted at home.

Hans Schmitz, PC Purdue Extension Educator Changes in the Corn Market The term derecho has become somewhat more common in the past few years, with the phenomenon making itself highly known in Iowa last week. The storm system associated with it has affected an estimated 10 million acres of mostly corn and is considered another billion-dollar weather event of 2020. Although the weather event had little effect on Southwestern Indiana, the results elsewhere will have an effect locally. The term derecho has only been defined in scientific literature since 1987, according to the American Meteorological Society’s Glossary of Meteorology. In this area of the continent, we are used to straight-line winds. When those straight-line winds are very widespread and caused by updrafts/convection, then it is a derecho by definition. Derechos are associated with mesoscale convective systems, fancy words for organized pop-up thundershowers. The derecho of the recent past basically took out corn plants, grain bins, and other agricultural infrastructure in a wide swath of east-central Iowa. The storm system continued through Illi-

nois and Indiana, producing two tornadoes in northern Indiana. The loss of many grain bins is a storage issue, as there is no time to rebuild many of those bins prior to harvest. This will either produce a larger than normal amount of corn coming onto the cash market in September and October or more farmers paying other facilities to store grain until contracts come due, or both. The corn price is traditionally lowest in the harvest months, so either eventuality harms the affected farmer. The second immediate effect is downed corn plants. Many have been reported to be snapped off below the ear, which will stop grain maturation and effectively zero out yield for those plants. Many plants are also laid over but not snapped, which will allow grain to continue to mature but force combines to harvest one-way through the field in order to pick up stalks and ears instead of running them over. Yield may not be greatly affected, but more diesel and equipment hours will be used. Ultimately, that number of affected acres in arguably the best corn growing region on earth affects supply. A slight rally in corn price has been observed based on the anticipated reduction in

harvested bushels. Unfortunately, the rally comes amid the worst corn prices since 2006. Many areas of the corn belt are still projected to experience above average yields, which will keep expectations low. With the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program, most of the rebound to breakeven prices that will keep farms afloat this year will come from government payments, not good weather and great production. On August 11, the US Department of Agriculture announced an extension in the sign-up period for the CFAP to September 11 with additional crops being covered under the program. Producers of agricultural products should reach out to their local Farm Service Agency office for more information. As we power through August, local field crop producers start looking toward the harvest season. Our melon producers are already well into that mode, but the combines start to peak out on the roads to head to the shop for preparations. With schools reopening as well, now is a good time for the reminder to keep cautious on the roads. For more information on these topics or other issues, contact Hans at hschmitz@purdue.edu or 812-838-1331.

‘Bookmobile Lady’ Hartman excited about new ride By Lois Mittino Gray The wheels of the bus are going ‘round and ‘round again on the Alexandrian Public Library Bookmobile as it wends its way through five townships in Posey County this summer. The APL Bookmobile first hit the road in the Spring of 2018, but died by December of that year. “The vehicle was a 2001 model, old and defunct, and the parts needed to repair it were not available anymore, so it was sold as surplus. Twelve to twenty years is the average life span of a Bookmobile. We knew it would only be a matter of time before it would go out, so we set aside money in the budget for it, and now we finally have a new one,” Sandy Hartman, Head of Bookmobile and Outreach Services, remarked. In the interim, the ‘Bookmobile Lady’ delivered books to homebound library users in town using her own vehicle. There were no public stops on the schedule, but for one and a half years, she brought baskets of books to teachers requesting service. She spent hours reading book reviews to determine what to order for her large Outreach collection. Her collection includes books, magazines, audio CD’s and DVD’s in a mixture of children, young adult and adult titles. “I am so glad to have this new machine. It’s so high-tech, compared to the last one. It even has a wheelchair lift. It’s shorter than the old one, but wider. It has more shelf space and can carry half of the Outreach collection at one time,” she explained. Many of the carts loaded with items to check out are on wheels, so she can roll them to the wheelchair lift to take off the vehicle for use at nursing homes. Hartman’s favorite thing is a self-elevating desk that goes up and down in the vehicle, so she can stand or sit to conduct business. There is a better security system and moni-

toring and it all has Bluetooth capacity. A television suspended in the corner airs promotional materials and ads for the library. “The Bookmobile can be really hot when I open it in the morning, but it cools with the air-conditioning in operation, and is quite comfortable all day. There are three sources of electrical power: a regular shoreline, an electric generator, and solar panels on top of the vehicle,” she pointed out. The Bookmobile is stocked with a wide selection of materials, including audio books, regular and large print books, young adult titles, assorted magazines, and CD’s. All materials are checked out to the library patron for six weeks, even the movie DVD’s it now carries, a new addition to the Bookmobile services. Sandy Hartman, a Mount Vernon native and member of the MVHS Class of 1992, started at APL in the Youth Department in 2013. Her degree is in Elementary Education from Murray State University and her minor is in Youth Agency Administration. She is presently taking a library science class at Ivy Tech each year. She resides in Mount Vernon with her husband and three children. The amiable Outreach librarian has a budget to order new books every year and is willing to take any suggestions you may have for new acquisitions. If anyone does not find what they are looking for, Sandy can pull it from the Main Library collection and put it on the Bookmobile. “Anything that can be done at the Main Library, can be done here,” she noted. “I can take returns, issue library cards and take special requests.” The Alexandrian Public Library Bookmobile brings the library’s services to all five townships in the designated service area. These are: Lynn, Black, Pointe, Marrs, and Robinson Townships. Anyone with an APL Library card can check out materials from

Sandy Hartman welcomes visitors to the APL’ s new high-tech Bookmobile. Photo by Lois Mittino Gray the Bookmobile. Right now, the August schedule of stops has been busy this month. Next month, Hartman will see what might be requested for school stops. “Teachers are so busy getting back to school lessons ready, I will wait until next month, as they settle into their routines, to see what they may need.” All public and parochial schools in the district are served, including Saint Mathew, Saint Wendel, and Saint Philip Elementary. The Bookmobile makes over 40 stops per month during the school year, and over 70 during the summer. Although some summer stops have already happened by today’s date, places where the Bookmobile will still visit this month are: the Mount Vernon Arby’s from

11 a.m. until 1 p.m. on August 19, and the Silver Bell Restaurant from 10:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. on August 20. On August 24, it will park at the Mount Vernon IGA from 1 to 3 p.m. and then go back to the Silver Bell Restaurant from 5 until 6:30 p.m. that day. It is scheduled to be at Mount Vernon’s Riverfront Park from 1 to 3 p.m. on August 26. The concluding visit for the month will be at Saint Philip’s Church on August 27 from 10:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. “Every visitor in August will receive a prize,” the Library Lady promises. To discuss a possible Bookmobile visit to a business or to ask questions about the scheduled stops, please contact Sandy Hartman at 812-431-8528 or shartman@apl.lib. in.us.
