Final solar hearing set for Aug. 15

By Trisha L. Lopez The final hearing for the land use application for the Posey Solar Project will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, August 15 at the Mount Vernon High School Auditorium and Area Plan Commission leader Mark Seib said a vote will be taken to determine the fate of the long debated development.

Representatives for project developers Tenaska and Arevon will be given 30 to 35 minutes for opening remarks, followed by testimony from APC- hired experts who have reviewed project details to judge likely impact on flooding and the local environment.

The floor will then be opened to the community. Residents must register as they enter the meeting and they will be given two minutes to speak. The public hearing portion will be closed at 8:30 p.m., and board members will discuss the project. Unlike past meetings where decisions have been tabled, Seib said a final vote will be taken prior to the special meeting’s adjournment.

A Zoom link for online viewing for the meeting will be available on the APC website. Zoom viewers will not be allowed to speak during the public portion of the meeting. Only residents in attendance on August 15 will be allowed to address the board.

It’s been nearly 20 months since representatives for project developers made a later withdrawn request for a tax abatement for the project, the first official public notice of the utility grade project that has sparked heated discord among Posey County residents.

Concerns about property values, safety for Marrs Township residents and Marrs Elementary School and the loss of farm ground have led to anti-project petitions and numerous residents speaking in opposition at county meetings. A lawsuit by project opponents questioning the county’s solar ordinance, filed in May 2021 against the Posey County Commissioners and APC, is

Clark to replace Watson on NHTB

By Dave Pearce It took less than 30 minutes on Sunday evening for the smoke to rise and New Harmony resident Rod Clark to be named the newest member of the New Harmony Town Council. Clark was one of four people to file for the seat being vacated by Gary Watson. Watson is moving out of New Harmony.

The original four individuals to file for the seat were David CampRod Clark bell, Donnie Martin, Allen Hatch and Clark.

The list was narrowed to three to be considered on Sunday evening at 6:30 as Campbell withdrew before the actual Caucus. It was held at the Ribeyre Gymnasium Annex in New Harmony.

Posey County GOP Chairman Greg Newman presided over the proceedings with two Precinct Committeemen in attendance. Andrew Wilson joined Clark

as the two voting members. Newman announced that Clark’s election was by a unanimous 2-0 vote.

Following the appointment, Newman indicated that New Harmony is very blessed to have had three quality candidates to apply for the position, any of which would have done a fine job of representing the voices of their constituents.

Newman said Clark brings to the table a knowledge of a variety of things.

“One thing he mentioned was his experience with natural gas,” Newman said. That is particularly interesting considering New Harmony’s gas supply comes to Indiana from Illinois on the bottom side of the nowabandoned New Harmony Bridge. Clark also has experience in budgets, great experience for any public servant.

Newman said that he would be remiss if he didn’t take the time to thank Gary Watson for his many years of service, not only as a Town Council member but for serving many years at the New Harmony Town Marshal.

“Gary has been a true public servant, always putting the town first and that is what you want and expect Henley Stoneburger enjoys her hot dog during a break from the acfrom an elected official,” Newman said.

Clark will be sworn in by New Harmony Clerk- tion at the Poseyville Unity Vacation Bible School on Friday evening.

New Harmony Business Associates lead ‘Main Street’ push

By Trisha L. Lopez The New Harmony Business Associates recently voted to join a state program aimed at revitalizing historic small towns.

Lora Arneberg of the NHBA told members of the New Harmony Town Council on July 19 that the group voted to move ahead with the Indiana Main Street program, a statewide economic development program geared towards communities under 50,000 to do economic development for historic preservation.

The Indiana Main Street program takes a four-point approach focused on organization, promotion, design and economic viability to encourage downtown growth.

Operating under the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA), Arneberg said the program will give New Harmony leaders access to ongoing strategic guidance and allow the town leaders to pursue state and federal grant opportunities and connect with other communities “who share the same challenges and aspirations.”

According to the state’s Main Street website, “main street-style transformation is a combination of art and science.

Communities first need to learn about the local economy, its primary drivers and its regional context, but they also need to convey that special sense of place through storytelling, preserving the older and historic structures that set it apart, broad and inclusive civic engagement, and marketing.”

The state’s program works with the national Main Street Center which was established in 1980 under the National Trust for Historic Preservation that has helped more than 2,000 communities nationwide. The national program has had a huge impact on small towns. More than $95 billion in investments have helped launch 161,035 new businesses, created 717,723 new jobs and led to the rehabilitation of 314,431 buildings.

Indiana offers three membership application option levels with different requirements and benefits: Nationally Ac-

credited Main Street; Indiana Accredited Main Street; and OCRA’s Downtown Affiliate Network.

“The state of Indiana has a strong Main Street program with people and a process to help towns like New Harmony achieve community-driven revitalization…preserving historic fabric, catalyzing reinvestment, creating jobs, attracting residents and fostering pride of place,” Arneberg said. “The vision is to develop an organization of dedicated community members that will ensure New Harmony is thriving from decade to decade. The exact ways this will be achieved will ultimately be decided by the needs of the community and the guidance of volunteers.”

Arneberg said New Harmony businesses have “long wrestled with how best to achieve community-driven revitalization while preserving our idyllic small-town feel.”

As long as there are flowers in NH, Rapp’s legacy will live on Devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Margaret MacNary Rapp’s legacy is known and revered throughout the State of Indiana. Always called Peggy by her friends and family, she was born a Hoosier in Hammond, Indiana in 1934. She graduated from Hammond High School where she was very active in music programs and athletics, especially tennis. She attended and earned a BS Degree in Education at Indiana University in Bloomington, where she was active in Kappa Alpha Theta and intramural athletic programs. It was there that she met her future husband, George Rapp.

(USPS 439-500)

They married in March 1956, the year Peggy celebrated her graduation from IU. She then entered the teaching profession and taught at Eagledale School in Indianapolis for three years while her husband attended medical school.

Home and family were central in Peggy’s life. The years yielded the blessings of two sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Through sixty-six years of marriage and the myriad activities of family life, Peggy found time to pursue her varied interests and always supported and participated with husband George in all their many endeavors.

She became an avid supporter of a host of Indiana-based organizations, including the Indiana Historical Society, Indianapolis Museum of Art (Newfields) where she was named a Life Trustee and contributed to the restoration of the Rapp Ravine Garden on the museum grounds. Other organizations that benefited from Peggy’s participation and support were the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, where she served for many years on the Board of Directors, the Heartland Truly Moving Pictures and Heartland Film Festival.

She was a participating member of

the Second Presbyterian Church, Sanibel Community Church, and was active in many Bible study groups.

Peggy loved flowers and gardening. She was instrumental in forming the New Harmony Gardening Club, was a member of the Trailing Arbutus Garden Club in Indianapolis and worked diligently on the grounds and gardens for the Sanibel Seaview Condo Association.

She designed beautiful gardens in Indianapolis, New Harmony, and Lake Wawasee.

Losing everything, what or who is important?

What or who is important to you? The recent devastating flood in eastern Kentucky reminds us all that life can be swept away in a moment. Hundreds of families lost everything. One family lost their house and everything in it but lost their family – four children ages less than two up through eight were swept away by the raging flood. One woman who had also lost her house and everything in the house stated she and her family were alive and that’s all that mattered.

None of us want to lose our houses and everything we’ve worked for most of our lives. However, it’s all junk in comparison to our children and loved ones.

From the fires of California to the floods of eastern Kentucky to the devastation of Ukraine by Russia, Loss and devastation can come to us all. We don’t want loss. We recoil from natural disasters, invaders or diminishing health.

A faith-based center for pregnant mothers and young families is in the early planning stages in Posey County.

Officials from Trotter House of Evansville, a faith-based community outreach, are working with local volunteers to assess the need in Posey County. No details have been finalized yet. About 30 area residents interested in the project met at the Alexandrian Public Library in Mount Vernon on Monday, July 25.

Trotter House offers pregnancy tests, limited sonograms, pregnancy consulting, healthy lifestyles education, infant supplies, individual support, mentoring life skills, healthcare and community referrals, adoption referrals and professional counseling services.

Lori DeVillez, founder of Trotter House, opened several pregnancy centers in Austin, Texas before relocating back to her childhood home in Evansville to help care for her parents.

While meeting with different doctors, therapists and attorneys trying to help her parents, she connected with professionals that shared her vision and agreed to help launch the Evansville facility which opened in February.

“What does Trotter House do? I believe we fulfill scripture.

The simplest to explain, by using scripture, we live out Matthew 25. ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you?’

We have food that is available. Sometimes we’ve gone and bought lunch for our clients as they come in hungry. ‘When did we see you thirsty and give you something to drink?’ We always have something…coffee, bottles of water. We just want them to come in and relieve some of the stress and anxiety and rest. Find peace. ‘When did we see you naked and clothe you?’ We have a clothing boutique that meets all of the physical needs all the way from newborn up to 6T and then we’ve partnered with other clothing banks in the community.

Diapers, wipes, formula, car seats. Anything you need for a baby,” DeVillez said. “Career clothing…as they work through our life skills program. We help them go from getting through their crisis..so just take a breath…it’s living out Ephesians 3:20. So many have lived in crisis so long, they have not even got to the point of ‘What is my dream?’”

DeVillez is a former director of a pregnancy center and maternity home at the Evansville Christian Life Center. She left Evansville to work in Texas for 23 years.

“As I’ve started working with college students at our church in Evansville and getting calls after getting to know the students, ‘My roommate’s pregnant. She has an abortion appointment. Would you talk to her? Is there anything we can do to help her?’ I really started looking around. Where are the

Overall, people would like to live out their lives quietly and safely. Avoiding floods, fires and other life-threatening crises. Food to eat, something to wear and the enjoyment of people we love are most meaningful to us.

In the middle of life’s devastations, we often look to God and ask why? If he is really so great, so good, and so loving then why would he send or allow eight or nine inches of rain to fall on the hollers of eastern Kentucky and sweep away little children? Did he go to sleep? Does he not care? Is he detached from what happens in the world? Is he really out there? Yet, as many grieve, they will fall upon God as he is all they have left to get them through. An old saint of God who suffered through the storms of life once said, “I didn’t realize God was all I needed until God was all I had.

Whatever or whoever you have today, don’t take it or them for granted. Be grateful, give thanks. Love on your loved ones and be kind to all. Consider taking some of your stuff and giving it to someone who may have nothing. It will be good for you both.

services? What is available? As I started looking, I didn’t see anything operating like what we had in Austin,” DeVillez said.

DeVillez said the program follows the needs of young families well beyond pregnancy.

“That’s what our life skills are about. Sometimes it’s one week to the next. It’s not a 12 month thing. It’s ‘Let’s get through this and you’re not alone,’” she said.

She said they also work with women coming out of addiction recovery programs that have lost custody of their children.

“We’re partnering with some groups that I’m really excited about. They are graduating from (addiction recovery) programs and working to get their children back. These programs end when they move out of inpatient, but we pick up that continued support,” DeVillez said.

DeVillez said faith is the foundation of everything Trotter House does to serve communities.

“It doesn’t have to be exactly like what we are doing in Evansville. You’re going to know your community. We can be as creative as we want to be. What are the needs? Let’s develop it around what we’re seeing the needs are to meet those needs. At the end of the day, our goal is to build a culture of life. Yes, that may be saving the baby, but to save the baby that’s saving the mom and the dad, and the grandma and the family,” DeVillez said. “As I’m learning with coming back to help my parents, it’s also at the other end of life, too. That’s pro life, too. Bringing life to our community and offering the resources that are needed is what we want to do.”

Janice Martin from Posey County Right to Life saw the center’s grand opening on the news, scheduled a tour at the Trot-

ter House of Evansville and was inspired to start working on bringing those resources to Posey County.

“We need one of these in Posey County because we don’t have anything in Posey County,” Martin said. “Evansville had a little bit, but nothing like Trotter House. It’s more family. It’s pregnant women, obviously, but it’s more family oriented. So many families are struggling, hurting. I get the Posey County News. Almost every arrest has something to do with meth or domestic quarreling. People are hurting and don’t know where to turn.”

She said the educational services offered by Trotter House give families the tools they need to get on their feet and move forward.

DeVillez said Trotter House doesn’t receive any government funding and is operated entirely on donations with trained volunteers coming in each week to work with families.

She said the center doesn’t compete for funds and services, but encourages cooperation with other agencies, churches and nonprofits to meet the needs of the community.

Meeting goers were given a handout outlining suggested steps needed to develop a new pregnancy resource center including the following steering committees: prayer warriors, governance, facility, finance, marketing, personnel and client advocate.

The group will meet again at the library to pray at 5 p.m. on Monday, August 15. A meeting will follow at 6 p.m.

A little less on the gas, a lot more on the brakes

When we were young we gobbled up life and everything that B D was exciting. We were H consumed with, and had a ferocious appetite for life, all things fun, and well…living life to the fullest as fast as we could.

We ran to the park, we ran to the ball field, even when we went fishing, as soon as the car stopped… the doors blasted open and we ran to the waters edge.

As I’ve gotten older the excitement is still there but now with more patience… I want to savor the moments… like savoring a fine wine, a 60 year old bottle of scotch, or an exquisite desert.

I want to rush TO those moments in life but I no longer wish to rush THROUGH those moments in life… I want to

It takes a lifetime to pay for a house. Today, cars are often financed five years and more. People work hard to accumulate a few things. Little children, spouses and aging parents are not easy to come by. Most of the time we take everything we have for granted. When the floods of life literally wash away all that we have and love, the loss is horrific.

We really don’t know the full extent of how painful loss is until we have lost it all. Recent flood victims in eastern Kentucky essentially lost it all. Many literally escaped with only the shirts on their backs.

Cancer can eat away at our lives. Other forms of diminishing health can take us down to nothing. Financial losses can make us miserable. A fire can destroy everything. Life can change and in a moment.

Sometimes we have warnings that life is on the way to changing. When it rains, we don’t automatically think the water will become so deep that we will all drown. Some people in eastern Kentucky will never be able to enjoy a long night of rain because of what it may bring.

savor all those moments like a fancy desert freshly made by a gourmet chef in a fine restaurant.

I wish we could go back to the days when most people lived off dirt roads, and on small farms.

I wish we could go back to the days before refrigerated air conditioning made folks soft and drove em all indoors. Days before hand sanitizer and masks, and social distancing made us all strangers… and in some cases enemies.

I wish we could go back to evenings spent in a swing under the stars or under the porch, while holding a glass of tea in one hand and a flyswatter in the other, watching kids, or dogs or critters of some sort just milling around the yard.

I want to go back to the days when folks raised a few hogs, some chickens and maybe a beef each year along with a garden.

I want to see small bales of hay being loaded on a wagon by teenage boys wearing tee shirts while being pulled by a

popping Jonny tractor or an old ragged out pickup.

I want to see it all through the eyes of a boy again… I wish I could have recorded it through my own eyes, to be able to push rewind and then play… so I could relive it all anytime I wished.

Oh the wisdom’s of life… how they sometimes come to us too late to be applied.

Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.

Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God. For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.

Cats and Dogs

The American Veterinary Medicine B Association estimated J J that as of 2021 Americans had 77 R million dogs and 58 million cats as domestic pets. If you currently own or have owned a pet you know the downs and ups of pet ownership, such as having to walk them in blizzards, feed and water them, clean up after them and pay veterinary bills. Or, as Peg might say, “You know, sort of like a husband.”

On the other hand, you could eschew organic pets and buy a pet rock. Pet rocks were marketed first by Gary Dahl (19362015). He came up with the idea while sitting in a tavern in California in 1975. Is anyone surprised the Genesis of such an idea occurred in the land of fruits and nuts? But Dahl had the last laugh as he made enough money selling what anybody could pick up for free to buy a tavern in Los Gatos (The Cats), California. Dahl named his bar Carry Nations to mock the prohibitionist Carrie Nation (1846-1911).

Dahl’s friends were constantly complaining about vet bills,

the cost of dog and cat food and having to clean up after their pets. Dahl advertised his pet rocks as needing no maintenance and they never die. Also, Gentle Reader, if you, as have I, ever owned a beloved pet you know the very real sense of loss a whole family and often friends too experience when a longtime pet dies from a lingering illness or even worse when a sudden and unexpected loss, say being hit by a car, occurs.

Peg and I just did not want to go through such a trauma again after we lost Haley, our schnauzer. So we no longer have a dog or a cat although we have had several of each. It also hurts when friends or family lose their pets. We know there is nothing we can do to assuage the heartache but, I hope, we listen attentively and neither discount the loss or, much worse, say, “Get on with things, it was just an animal.” I am aware there are many other pets that people are fond of besides cats and dogs. However, a very high majority of domestic pets are dogs and cats.

Just last week one of our nieces lost a long-time good friend, Richard Parker the Cat, and another good friend of ours lost a one-time stray cat that he named Marvin after he had allowed the waif into his home. Both our niece and our friend felt the heavy body blow and now know all any of us can do is

commiserate and encourage the owners to concentrate on the joy Richard Parker and Marvin brought with them when they slowly worked into family status.

Another well-meaning but counter-productive bit of advice we often give family and friends who lose a beloved pet is, “I know it hurts now, but perhaps you should get another cat right-a-way.” While we probably do not believe animals are interchangeable, our niece and friend might take our sympathy for a lack of appreciation of the pet’s unique qualities. We could not even fathom such advice for a lost child but somehow we sometimes let loyal pets be thought of as we might widgets in an Econ class.

So, what do we say and do when a family member or a good friend loses a good pet? I suggest we can affirm their deep commitment to the pet by listening and help to fill the gap with shared activities or just a quiet cup of coffee. And of course, here at JPeg Osage Ranch, while we no longer have cats or dogs, we do have skunks, armadillos and various other not so cuddly uninvited guests.

Gerton adopt-a-thon deemed successful in needful times

By Trisha L. Lopez Pets and camping went hand in hand…or paw in hand… at the inaugural Gerton Auto Sales Newlife Adopt-a-Thon event on Saturday.

Volunteers from Newlife Rescue and Adoption and several adoptable furry friends joined John and Jill Gerton at their RV dealership at 1335 East 4th Street in Mount Vernon to combine the joys of outdoor entertainment and pet companionship.

“Probably 85 to 90 percent of our customers travel with pets,” long-time animal rescue supporter John Gerton said.

The Gertons said they are animal lovers and wanted to find a way to help the dogs and cats at Newlife, the new combination of the Posey Humane Society and PC Pound Puppies, find furever homes.

“It worked out very, very well. All of our cats here at the store…we’ve got three at the store, four at the house….are all rescues. Our dog that unfortunately passed away was a rescue as well. It’s just been something that’s close to us and to be able to put it all together where people can come in an atmosphere like this…I think it’s kind of cool,” Gerton said.

“We’re going to plan on doing it annually. I hope everybody goes home happy today. That’s all I want.”

Kennels with kittens…one fittingly named Gerton…were located inside the dealership. Kennels with puppies and adult dogs were just outside the main doors. Uncle Ted’s Just Dang Good Food truck was on-hand as well.

Carnegie Public Library News by Ashley Hartig August is here, and our 2022 Summer Reading program has officially ended. The staff here at the Poseyville Carnegie Public Library was absolutely blown away by how many kids came to the programs this summer. For the Oceans of Possibilities theme this year, we performed experiments and made crafts to learn about everything under the sea. The kids had fun making salt watercolor paintings, creating their own pirate costumes, and learning how sharks float. We hope everyone will join us again next summer.

As always, everyone who registered for Summer Reading this year was entered into our prize drawing. Everyone wins a prize, so make sure you pick it up on your next visit to the library. This year we also drew for three grand prizes: one Apple IPad and two

pairs of Apple AirPods. We will announce the grand prize winners on our Facebook page and in next week’s article.

Many wonderful businesses donated to our Summer Reading program this year. We would like to thank the Evansville Otters, Hacienda, Texas Roadhouse, Beuligmann’s Heating and Air, Barton Automotive Services, Nix Metals, Bender Law, Saint Wendel Knights Home, Showplace Cinemas, Vertical Excape, Townsquare Media, Big Splash Adventure, NAPA Nix Bus Sales, Jim Hipp Nursery, H & R Agri-Power, Gattitown, Evansville Teachers Federal Credit Union, Swonder Ice Arena, Walther’s Golf & Fun, Pearison Incorporated, Burdette Park, Saint Ann’s Auxillary and Zeidler’s Flowers. Your support is highly appreciated.

Orlando, a 5-year-old rescue that has been at PC Pound Puppies for two years, was hanging out with volunteer Jennifer Ragsdale.

Ten-week-old puppies Meeka and Alexis played happily at the feet of other volunteers.

Tina Parker from Newlife Rescue and Adoption said adoption applications were submitted for one cat and one puppy during the event. According to the Posey Humane Society Facebook page, the rescue has no more room for cats and kittens. The post called it an absolutely “dire situation.” Fosters, volunteers, donations and adopters are desperately needed.

“That (adoption applications) is, by far, the best part of the day,” Parker said. “We had perfect weather, wonderful people and amazing animals. It doesn’t get any better than that.”

Friends of WMI welcome Grafton to Lecture Series The Friends of the Working Men’s Institute presents Cathy Grafton in their 2022 Lecture Series. She will speak at the Working Men’s Institute (WMI) in New Harmony on Thursday, August 4 at 6:30 p.m.

Grafton has had a passion for the Bayeux Tapestry since she was about eight-years-old. Her Mother gave her a book about this medieval embroidery, and she began to study the designs.

Stitching to recreate small bits of this

historic piece gives her a great feeling of connection to those who designed and stitched it almost 1,000 years ago, and she often uses the Bayeux stitch in her more modern work.

This embroidery tells the story of the meeting of Harold and Duke William of Normandy, their adventures together and their fateful battle at Hastings in 1066 - all from a distinctly Norman viewpoint. Grafton visited it in Bayeux France more than 20 times and completed many sections which will help illustrate her lecture.

Besides her stitch work, Grafton lectures and teaches workshops. She is the author of the book Nature, Design and Silk Ribbons.

WEAVE PROJECT becomes reality here through efforts of Harmonie Associates Special to the News In 1964 a group of individuals in New Harmony decided to form themselves into a permanent association to forward the long-range interests of their community.

During the 58 years of their existence, Harmonie Associates has been responsible for a wide range of projects. They hosted training schools for the Peace Corps, funded archaeological field schools, assisted the Indiana Department of Natural Resources in the acquisition of Thrall’s Opera House, worked with the Town Council to get support for a municipal sewage collection and processing plant and created Playtopia, a public playground in Murphy Park. These are only a few examples of their achievements. Harmonie Associates continues to serve as a vehicle for projects today.

One of the newest projects involves looms that were originally purchased in the early 1970s with an Eli Lilly grant of $30,000 to fund a ‘living museum’ for Harmonie textile arts. That effort incorporated local universities, USI and UE, and subsequently, the New Harmony School, culminating in teaching labs. After that effort ran its course, Harmonie Associates recovered the looms, and in 2005 they inventoried and stored them.

In 2019, members of Harmonie Associates decided to turn over the looms to local weaver and international textile consultant Docey Lewis, to see if she could develop a use for them in the community. Thus began Dacey’s vision of a WEAVE PROJECT. With her long reach of resources, she was given a large volume of yarns from a donor in Seattle. She began to repair the looms with

help from another local weaver, spinner and educator, Peggy Taylor. Peggy used several of the repaired tablelooms for her recent series of weaving classes at the Workingmen’s Institute and the Indiana State Museum.

During the early days of the Covid lockdown, Docey used them to teach a distance weaving class to interns at Our Lady of the Rock Benedictine Monastery on Shaw Island in the San Juan Islands of Washington State.

Docey is currently negotiating with USI and the Indiana State Museum for a more permanent project home that would include classrooms, exhibit space, and an active artists-inresidence program involving young textile artists and educators. Additionally, she has been working with folklorist Taylor Burden who has just completed an Traditional Arts Indiana Folklife oral history project with Weavers of Southern Indiana. Among those interviewed for the oral history were Docey, Peggy Taylor, Laura Foster Nicholson and Br. Kim Malloy of the Saint Meinrad Arch abbey. This prompted a new twist on the WEAVE PROJECT. Why not focus on “The Spirit of Cloth in New Harmony, 1810 - The Present.” In order to flesh out the WEAVE PROJECT, Docey sought a planning grant from Harmonie Associates. The timing was right, and on July 19, a grant of $1500 was awarded to Taylor Burden to work under Dacey’s pro bono direction to develop a larger proposal to be presented to local, state, and national funding sources.

New Harmony has such a rich history in textiles: from the Rappites, Owenities, and Jane Staffer Owen to present day weavers.

What a treasure we have to build upon.

Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.

By Theresa Bratcher Safety and Golf Cart rules and regulations were the main topics of discussion at the July 12 meeting of the Poseyville Town Council as Fire Chief Austin Ahrens reminded those in attendance that Posey County as a whole is currently under a Burn Ban. Ahrens also presented the council with bids from Triad Training Solutions to seek approval for funding for a Hazmat Operations and Awareness Course for several of his volunteer firefighters. Ahrens informed council members this course is required for Firefighter One/ Two Certifications. The more expensive bid of $2,900 is for a full in-person taught course, the second option at $1,500 is for a self-study course, which those interested prefer. Councilman Justin Rutledge questioned if there were free courses offered through the state, sharing, “I’m sure things have changed as its been several years since I went through the training, but we partnered with Marrs Township and it was free through the state at that time.” He continued, “I just hate to see you use your money on something that may be offered at no cost.”

Ahrens replied he would do a little more digging and see what he could find out. Council President Mike Baehl suggested they pass the motion on the contingency that Ahrens check with the state about a free course, the motion passed 3-0.

Ahrens reported to the council the fire station will be going through an audit by ISO next month. Baehl reminded all that the opening of the bids for the new pumper/tanker fire apparatus would be July 19 at 4 p.m. Town Attorney William Bender questioned if a contract has been prepared as to the terms of payment the town would want. Ahrens shared the Kenworth chassis they would like is on a six-eight month

waiting list and they do not require any monies until the chassis is received. The council decided to receive the bids, check on the time-line for ordering the chassis, then decide what, if any, the terms of the contract should be. Grants are also being sought to help pay for the new truck.

Baehl spoke on an agreement held with the Seiberts for many years to place the sludge for the town at a charge of $3,000 to which Joe Lupfer presented a proposal to only charge $1,000 if an arrangement could be made for him to not pay rent on the 15 acres of town owned property he farms.

The decision was tabled due to the proposal from Lupfer containing an open-ended time frame. Bender stated that the proposal was not legally binding as a term-limit, with options to renew, must be in place.

Town Marshall Charles Carter also had safety on his mind as he shared several complaints have been issued about Golf Carts and their drivers. Carter wishes to, once again, remind residents that ‘No Crossing Zones’ have been established for the Main Street intersections of Cale and Locust.

Carter also stated issues with other Golf Cart rules have been brought to his attention recently, such as non-registered carts and underage drivers. Golf Carts must be registered and a person must be 18 years of age to drive them.

“Failure to follow the ordinance can result in revoking ones privilege to ride/drive their carts on town streets.”

Councilman Bruce Baker shared, “We also need to remind individuals that ATVs are allowed only on town streets - they cannot be ridden down Main Street or State Highways.”

The next meeting, in-person and Zoom, was set for August 9, 2022 at the Town Hall.

THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS - PAGE A9

Mount Vernon discusses change in Internet provider

By Lois Mittino Gray Mount Vernon Mayor Bill Curtis announced at the July 28, Mount Vernon Board of Works meeting that the city was notified it was awarded a LARE grant in the amount of $100,000 to aid in erosion control at the Ohio River riverfront. The Indiana DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife’s Lake and River Enhancement (LARE) Program has as its goals to protect and enhance aquatic habitat for fish and wildlife, and to ensure the continued viability of Indiana’s publicly accessible waters for multiple uses, including recreational opportunities. This is accomplished through measures that reduce non-point sediment and nutrient pollution of surface waters to a level that meets or surpasses state water quality standards.

“I talked with the engineers who did the original design and estimate over two years ago for the control net measures. There has been even more erosion since the process was started. Hopefully the grant will cover any increase in cost for the project. There is sufficient money in the budget and the project should be completed this fall if there are no issues,” the Mayor surmised.

The original estimate two years ago came in at around $598,000 for the work installing a flexible net to hold the soil in place. As of now, a new estimate is not yet prepared, to know the difference in the current rates. The Mayor said there is no paperwork yet and they will be waiting a while for the cash.

“To see examples of the netting, look at

what BMX did on its riverfront about two years ago. It is holding up quite well. You can also see the product along the slopes of I-69 Highway going north,” Curtis added.

Under New Business, Kay Kilgore, River Days Chairman, said the popular event will be held mainly on Friday, September 9 and Saturday, September 10 this year. “After last year’s festival, we sent out a survey and most participants preferred a two-day only event, as opposed to the three-day schedule of adding Sunday. Now, we should be finished wrapping it all up by Sunday afternoon,” she stated. The Port-A-Potties will be picked up on Monday.

“Nothing major has changed from years past. They will be putting the electric lines out on Wednesday, the fireworks will be on Friday night and the parade on Saturday will start earlier, at 4 p.m.”

The usual street closures were approved starting with both alley entrances/exits on Main Street between Second and Water Streets on Wednesday, September 7 at 4 p.m.

Other streets along the riverfront area, Walnut, College, Mulberry, will be closed to vehicles for the duration of the festival. Extra barricades are required at Dr. Appel’s parking lot on Saturday at 8 a.m. to be used for the Pet Parade. The Saturday morning 7 to 10 a.m.

5K Run/Kids Dash will be sponsored this year by the United Way instead of the Marching Wildcats. The route has not changed from last year’s.

The festival will have its Closing Ceremo-

Peggy also supported many IU schools and academic departments: the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, Herron School of Art & Design, IU Orthopedic Surgery and Medicine departments, as well as the school’s athletic programs. For her generosity to the university, she was presented the Presidents Circle Laurel Pin in 2013.

With her husband, Dr. George Rapp, Peggy was active in the life and preservation of historic New

Harmony, Indiana, where she actively participated in the life of the village and lent generous support to its robust art community. For more than twenty years, she organized the volunteers for New Harmony’s nationally known, annual “First Brush of Spring” Plein Air event.

As a life-long, stalwart arts patron and benefactor, Peggy earned an honorary degree from the University of Southern Indiana in 2011 and was honored as a “Living Legend” by the Indiana Historical Society in 2013.

Peggy is survived by her two sons, John Rapp (Leslie) and James Rapp (Patty), thirteen grandchildren and fourteen great grandchildren.

Services in celebration of Margaret MacNary Rapp’s life and contributions to her beloved Hoosier state will be held at Second Presbyterian Church at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, August 17, 2022 with a gathering to follow, also at the church. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that any remembrances be shared with the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, Hoosier Salon, the Rapp Ravine Garden at Newfields, and Second Presbyterian Church in Indianapolis.

ny at 8 p.m. on Saturday night. Kilgore assured the board that the roads will be entirely reopened by Sunday afternoon after clean-up is completed. “It’s really a great event,” the Mayor observed.

Another item under New Business is discussion on a new email provider. Brent Suits, with Automated Office Solutions, called the Mayor and told him that the current provider, WOW, was bought out. The new company did not buy the email system, and they are giving the city a date when service will end.

Suits is looking into it, but there are really only two feasible options. The city could go with a different provider, like AT&T, but from a technical standpoint it would be very difficult and could take two to three months.

Suits is recommending Microsoft. This would give the city some advantages, like synching calendars. He is recommending Microsoft and the Cloud due to the fact there would be two Cloud locations, should one go down, there would be a backup. Suits is putting together a cost package which he could present at a later date to the board. Board member Andy Hoehn asked if the city could piggyback off the county system. Curtis replied he will ask but is not sure what it might cost.

In Department Reports: • Acting Police Captain Corbin Sellers requested permission to hire Levi Hoehn as a new police officer and it was approved. Board members interviewed with the candidate the

‘Main Street’ continued from Page A1 She said the group analyzed several options and chose the Main Street program because it enables “all community members and organizations to get involved around a central mission.”

“We intend to follow a roadmap to become an Indiana Accredited Main Street organization, which means we will be organizing volunteer-led committees. Ultimately, we want to foster engagement from residents, business owners, local and county government, along with other organizations like Visit Posey County, the Chamber of Commerce and the Economic Development Partnership,” Arneberg said.

She said state legislation

‘Solar’ continued from Page A1 sources has been well documented. The company told the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission in its 2019-20 Integrated Resource Plan that aging A.B. Brown 1 and A.B. Brown 2…the coal burners that produce combined 490MW of power generation…are too costly to maintain. Company reps said they could no longer run the plant past October 31 because of the expenses associated with bringing it up to environmental regulations.

Kendra Bisesi Moore has been involved with the fight against the development since rumors first started about a developer leasing acreage from local landowners. One of several residents involved in the ongoing lawsuit, Moore has consistently urged county leaders to consider the wishes of area residents.

“It’s been a very long battle, but one I feel like I owe to our beautiful community and to our children. The changes (to the project) still do not replace the fact that the majority of our citizens do not want this project. This project is still going to surround homes and will take away some of the beautiful views (of) Posey County,” Moore said. “Our county desperately needs growth in the form of more residents and I believe this project will only turn potential residents away. I can only hope that the members of the Area Plan Commission will listen to the residents who live here and will be a voice for those people.”

match and would be considered on a project by project basis.

Arneberg said the NHBA will host a public meeting to talk about the group’s ideas later this year. She said spreading the word and helping the community to understand the process will be the first step.

“We got a notification of a grant program that private owners of historic properties could apply for funding to help with facade grants. Already, it’s kind of helping us get connected to some grant opportunities that would be really good for the community,” she said. “We just feel like it’s a step in the right direction.”

proval was granted in July 2021, but the board was not unanimous in its decision to give developers the go ahead. Members Randy Thornburg, Kevin Brown and Mike Baehl stood against the project, approved by members Andy Hoehn, Randy Owen, David Pearce, Keith Spurgeon, Hans Schmitz and Seib.

Project details have shifted significantly since it was first announced in 2021.

Originally announced as a 300 MW development sited on approximately 3,000 acres on the north and south sides of Highway 62 primarily in Marrs Township, the project…if approved…will look very different when CenterPoint Energy assumes ownership in 2023.

Citing supply chain woes, the project footprint was reduced to 1,000 acres and the power generation cut by 100MW in January.

Council members were told in January 2021 that the project represented a $225 million investment and was expected to generate $35 million in property taxes over its 35 year lifespan.

According to the project website, the latest estimate is a $162 million investment which includes 212 full time construction jobs, $31.2 million in contributions to the Posey County gross domestic product total and 79 additional indirect, full-time local and regional jobs during the construction phase.

It lists five full-time operational jobs, $485,000 spent annually on goods and services to support operation, $1.2 million in contributions to Posey County GDP and eight indirect, full-time local and regional jobs upon project completion.

CenterPoint Energy’s quest to move from coal fired power generation to cleaner renewable energy

created a heritage commerce district fund which can provide up to $500,000 annually to qualifying districts.

“In the past, Main Street didn’t have funding so the NHBA was a little reluctant to jump through those hoops, but it’s going to give us good connection to other towns our size to do preservation work and economic development and there’s funding now,” Arneberg said. She said the group needed a letter of support from the council.

Arneberg said the town would need to be a part of the Main Street program for two years before funds could be sought. She said the grants would require a 50/50

still pending.

Michael Schopmeyer, an attorney from Kahn, Dees, Donovan and Kahn representing project opponents, said continued efforts to finalize a development commitment…a compromise between project developers and opposing residents…are ongoing.

“They committed to enter into a use and development commitment for the neighbors and with the county.

They’ve given us revisions.

We’ve asked for some further changes on behalf of the neighborhood and we haven’t heard back from them,” Schopmeyer said on Wednesday.

With a final vote likely in less than a month, Schopmeyer remains optimistic that a deal can be reached.

“I’m not saying it’s outside of our reach in the next three weeks. I think it’s within. But they haven’t communicated with us and they need to communicate with us,” he said.

Schopmeyer said the lawsuit is still in the discovery phase and county organizations have “not submitted all the information we’ve requested.”

“The lawsuit, if it’s not resolved as part of this process, it can reverse anything they do,” Schopmeyer said.

The county’s amended wind and solar ordinance was approved by commissioners in April 2021 after months of back and forth discussion about issues like setback distances and screening to protect area homeowners.

The Posey Solar Project application was submitted to the APC in May 2021. The non-refundable application fee for Tier 1 solar projects is $20,000 plus $1,700 per megawatt which developers may divide over three installments.

• Sellers concluded his report by stating, since the last meeting on July 14, there were three car accidents; 15 animal complaints; 35 traffic offenses; and 157 other calls. Hoehn asked if the arson cases are now down to zero with the recent spate of them. Sellers replied yes.

• No Fire Department report was available.

• Utilities Superintendent Chuck Gray reported, since the last meeting, his crews cleaned 13,570 feet of sewer main. He added the recent heavy rains have not caused any significant issues, and the Country Club fix seems to be working.

• Street Commissioner Max Dieterle said, since the last meeting, there were 17 extra trash pick-ups generating $440; they hauled 102 tons of trash to the landfill; and took care of one work order on a weed violation. Weed violations in the Auto Zone area and along Main Street were discussed.

• Hoehn told the board he would like to get a recommendation to Council concerning NO PARKING at the Southwind Plaza. It seems semis are parking there.

Higgins stated the ordinance that is up for its third reading Wednesday night will cover the issue.

AUGUST 2, 2022

WMI’s Community Connection by Melora Adams Back in March, there were weaving classes held here in the Working Men’s Institute building.

Another set of weaving classes is going to be held here at the WMI. More intensive than the earlier classes, they will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., on three successive days, August 25, 26 and 27. The set of classes, a workshop, is entitled “Weaving from Start to Finish.”

In these classes, the students will be learning the entire weaving process, from setting up the loom to finishing the product. The result will be something useful that the student can take with them and use, such as a scarf. These classes are expected to be challenging yet satisfying.

It is because of a generous Arts Project Grant from the Indiana Arts Commission and the sponsorship of the Working Men’s Institute that this workshop is possible. All equipment and supplies will be provided. And there will be no fee for the classes, just a commitment to invest

the time and energy to attend all three sessions.

Peggy Taylor, of the Raintree Cottage Textile School here in New Harmony, will be the instructor for these classes.

To register for this set of classes, call the Working Men’s Institute at 812-682-4806.

The class size is limited to fourteen students.

Upcoming at the WMI: New Harmony Farmer’s and Artisan’s Market at the WMI will be each Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon through fall. Last day of market TBA. Cathy Grafton will give a lecture about the Bayeux Tapestry on August 4 at 6:30 p.m.

Kiwanis Story Time will be at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, August 24 and Thursday, August 25.

Please call 812-682-4806 or e-mail librarian@ workingmensinstitute.org to register your child.

Admission to all lectures is free.

By Chris Morlan Last Saturday, the Viking Summer Sizzler 8U Tournament was held at the North Posey Youth Club ballpark in Poseyville. There were four teams participating in this event.

Overall, the Vikings had a good day in a fourgame stretch. North Posey won the first three games and lost the championship 7-6 against the Newburgh Fightin’ Knights.

North Posey 11, Newburgh Dark Knights 6: In their first game of the tournament, North Posey put runs on the scoreboard in each of the five innings they went to bat. North Posey’s defense held the Dark Knights scoreless in the first three innings of the game. In the top of the fourth inning, the Dark Knights scored five runs to tie the game at 5-5. North Posey answered back with five runs of their own to take a 10-5 lead. In the bottom of the fifth inning, North Posey scored one more run to cruise to a 11-6 win.

As a team, North Posey had 14 hits. Cooper Hoehn hit a triple, scored a run, and drove in a runner. Braxton Randall, Westly Absher, Mike Kemmerling, and Owen Schmitt each had two hits in the game. Walker Eisterhold, Luke Fox, Brycton Barrett, Chase Farrar, and

North Posey 19, South Lexington Scrappers 7: During their second game, North Posey pulled away from South Lexington early and easily beat them by 12 runs in a game that was called by the ten-run rule after the fourth inning. During the four innings, North Posey had 22 hits as a team.

Every player in the North Posey lineup got at least one hit in the game. Owen Schmitt and Walker Eisterhold were perfect at the plate going three for three hitting.

Cooper Hoehn, Mike Kemmerling, Brycton Barrett, and Chase Farrar all with one hit each.

North Posey 16, Newburgh Dark Knights 5: This was the second time today that North Posey has played against the Newburgh Dark Knights. North Posey beat Newburgh by eleven runs in a game that was called by the ten-run rule after the fifth inning. With this win, North Posey has won three games in a

MV basketball holds golf scramble

By Trisha L. Lopez Mount Vernon basketball supporters gathered at the Western Hills Country Club on Saturday for the third annual Wildcat Youth Basketball Association Basketball Golf Outing.

The scramble drew 22 teams who competed in morning and afternoon flights.

Eric Morlock, Michael Harshbarger, Thomas Clowers and Jordan Fisher were the top finishers in the morning flight.

Mark Hancock, Richard Worthington, Curt Hahn and Wade Worthington were morning runners-up.

Charlie Grant, Tim Hargett, Aaron Choate and Dustin Trout were the afternoon flight winners. Collin Jackson, Breckan Austin, Reed Jackson and Blake Jackson finished second.

“I really thought the event went great,” said Coach Joe Newcomb. “We were able to grow our event from 14 to 22 teams and doubled our sponsorship numbers from last year.”

Newcomb said he is very appreciative of players, sponsors and volunteers for their continued support of the Wildcats basketball program.

“These events have had a great impact on our ability to improve our locker room, purchase new jerseys and help with purchases for our youth that will allow us to continue improving (in grades) K through 12,” Newcomb said.

Newcomb said the Mount Vernon M Club and community have been instrumental in helping grow Mount Vernon basketball.

Thanks to community support, the Wildcats added a new digital scorer’s table in 2022, custom whiteboards for the basketball locker room, a custom Wildcat rug for the locker room, a new sound system,and video tools. Registration fees for tournaments have also been covered by fundraising. The next big goal for the program is to raise funds to replace the floor in the Mount Vernon High School gym.

The Wildcats played 15 games in four tournaments in June in preparation for the start of the 2022-23 season. Mount Vernon basketball is coming off back to back 10-win seasons in 2021 and 2022…a program first since 2003-2005.

Newcomb said it takes time and hard work to turn a program around. He said the outpouring of support that he has seen from the Mount Vernon community has been felt on and off the court for Mount Vernon coaches and players at all age levels.

“Our community is hungry for a winner and rightfully so. We have had good support and I think the community sees us getting better each year. I believe in order to win and

win consistently, you have to make sure you have a strong foundation. That starts with how you do things every day at the high school level, but it also begins with developing a solid youth program and building it from the ground up,” Newcomb said. “Each year our camp numbers have grown, our fundraisers have grown and the number of kids we have playing together in tournaments has grown. I’m really excited about the progress we have made and having our kids in a program, hearing and doing the same things from grades K through 12 will pay dividends moving forward.”
