By Lois Mittino Gray City vehicles were the main focus of the August 25, Mount Vernon Board of Works and Public Safety Meeting. Both the city fire and police departments are working to get new transportation to ensure safety and citizen protection. With supply side issues all around the nation, it’s always difficult to know when they can finally get them rolling down the road.

A chassis for a new 2022 midsize-pumper truck that has been ordered by the Fire Department for over a year finally is built. Fire Chief Wes Dixon said he received a call the day before that it is finished and sitting in a lot in Louisville, Kentucky waiting on delivery. He speculated it may be delivered within the next two weeks. Now, he needs to start the bid process to finish building the top onto the chassis with the fire pump and equipment. He told board members he has the specs already complete. Dixon estimates it will be over $60,000 and at that figure, does need to be bid out. Mayor Bill Curtis reminded him he will need to advertise the bids in the next week or two, and the ad will have to run twice. When complete, this truck will replace the 1989 Engine Number One and be the new Engine One of the Cityfleet.Police Chief Andrew Rush reported on progress acquiring a new police vehicle. He brought in two quotes from local agencies for the purchase. Dodge quoted $39,400; and Ford quoted $50,080; Chevy did not quote as the vehicles are not in their system yet. These figures do not include a trade-in. The department does not have any extra vehicles at this time to trade. It was discussed that they really need to have one or two, in case of a car being down or in for maintenance. Curtis and the other board members agreed it was a good idea, especially when one is down for maintenance.Curtis stated the city van they use for city travel is really getting some age on it. He and former Police Chief Alldredge had discussed the possibility of using one of the old, good police vehicles for that purpose, instead of doing a Rushtrade-in.added the department currently has two vehicles sitting at a business, the OnDuty Depot, waiting to be equipped. “The Evansville Police Department takes all of their vehicles to the same location and when

On August 08, 2022 the FBI executed a search warrant at former President Donald Trump’s residence, Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida. That is about the extent of what we in the general public know about the situation. There is a great deal of speculation about the process but very little of that speculation is likely to be unbiased. The search of any former president’s home would of necessity be embroiled in competing political interests. Many important issues are in play and countless questions arise. We in the general public may be greatly affected by the search and the motivations for it or there may be no great significance to our democracy. We do not yet know the basis for the search or the reasoning of those who sought, granted or executed it. And that is unacceptable as almost always, our interests as a nation are better served by more factually correct information than less. A lack of transparency engenders suspicion and confusion. In a country so at odds over Donald Trump, more light is best. Careful release of information may be called for but it is more likely that the greatest harm to our country will result from suspicions raised by in camera legal proceedings. There are good reasons our Founders saw Great Britain’s use of General Warrants and Writs of Assistance as cause for Revolution. The Fourth Amendment to our Constitution was adopted to protect our right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. It requires “an Affidavit of Probable Cause supported by Oath or Affirmation and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” I do not ascribe to the fear our country is near another revolution. However, I do think we should seek to benefit from the wisdom of those who fomented the first one. Was the search of Donald Trump’s home called for by the facts? Were those who made the call properly motivated? Was the Fourth Amendment followed? Perhaps it was in America’s best interests to search Mar-a-Lago. Maybe evidence of “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” was secreted in the premises. If so, then a search was not only justified, it was required. However, until the secrecy is removed and the light of justice is brought to bear, the citizenry is in the dark. And that dark might lead to more harm than the revelation of some uncomfortable documents.Formore Gavel Gamut articles go to www. jamesmredwine.com.

Someone can please fact check me on this one, but I heard that the decommission funds that the solar company is putting into a bond for the county - ONLY must or can be used if the ENTIRE project is being shut down. For instance, if a parcel burns, or has wind damage and is no longer producing energy, but is a complete mess. Is anyone responsible for cleaning it up, or does it sit like that for years until the entire project is being decommissioned?Weare still waiting on the decision from the DNR if they will allow the project to move forward. One of the main concerns of the DNR is the tile work in the fields where solar is going to be installed. To help explain what tile is, the landowners dig trenches (usually 24-36 inches) and bury a tube that allows excess water to seep in, and that tube carries the water to a ditch or other water way. These systems help maintain the soil to be properly drained. Many of these tiles were laid by hand by past generations. Those tiles were made of clay and can easily be broken when the ground is disturbed near those tiles. When those tiles get broke, water travelling through the tile is forced upward and turns the soil above it into a liquid mud that goes back into the tile leaving a sink hole in the field. That mud flows to the waterway, where it will settle and disrupt the flow of water in the future. The solar company has stated they will repair all tiles that they break. If they are trenching, laying power lines underground, they will be able to see any tiles that they break and make a repair. But, if they are driving steel beams directly into the ground for tens of thousands of solar panels, how will they know if they have broken a tile or not. If they are close to the tile, the force may crack it but not break it and the damage may take years to show up. As far as I know, from knowledge passed down from my dad who was a farmer of our land, there is no map of these clay tiles laid many years ago. I understand that in recent years, new tiles are laid with GPS and very good maps of those fields are available. Most of the fields in this area have the original clay tiles. When they go to remove (decommission) the steel girders from the ground, it is again going to disrupt the ground at the level of these tiles. Who will repair these tiles at that time? Who is going to clean out the ditches and waterways when all the sediment is dumped into them from broken tiles now and after the project? Hopefully the DNR will recognize the magnitude of this concern and have this project move to areas that do not have buried tiles which will not affect the natural watershed. The solar company promoted the fact that this 1400 acres is less than one per cent of Posey County farm ground. But this is some of the most productive ground in the county. Why can’t this project be placed on recovered coal mine land or less productive soil? CenterPoint owns a lot of land around the A.B. Brown power plant. If CenterPoint is getting government kickbacks, why are they not using their own land to set panels? When I think about an Industrial Solar Project, I think of a one very large area where no homes or roads are encompassed. Why does this project scatter over many miles in individual fields? There are non-participating homeowners in the project design that will have solar on ALL FOUR SIDES of their home. Some will have three sides, and many will have one and two sides of their homestead. Each of these solar panel fields will have to have border fencing, a visual screen of plants in front of non-participating homes and transmission lines to get the power to the main power grid and stations. Why was this project not considered somewhere else as one big project that would not affect so many homeowners? There were other options that would produce the same amount of energy, and NO ONE would have to be affected. As far as the APC, I do not see how you will be able to deny any other applicant that applies for a permit in this county to build something on land they own. When it was stated, while voting, that two members’ vote were “yes” because landowners have rights to do with their property as they choose, how can you now tell someone else they cannot build something on their own property. You can say it will disturb the neighbors, decrease others property value, damage others property, or create a nuisance, but we demonstrated time and time again how this project will do the same to those already living in the proposed area - and you turned a blind eye to us. I am not saying your job is easy or that I would want it, but you have opened a door that is going to be difficult to shut.To sum up the feelings of those living in Marrs township that opposed this project, we feel we were betrayed by parts of our county government. We, being mostly farmers and single-family residences, came into this fight completely unprepared for what was going to happen. The hope that ethics and being a good neighbor (as we were raised) would prevail was wrong. Companies with deep pockets and expensive lawyers rolled over us with no concern about what was ethically right or wrong. They have come into our county, somehow bypassed our normal approval system, and now are lining their pockets with millions of dollars. That will NOT be staying within our county. Truly, how much is the county going to profit from this project? A project of this size and nature, that affects so many established homeowners, should have been placed on the election ballet in the fall to let the citizens of this county vote instead of some appointed members of the APC. Since the APC approved the project, and there is not another step, there is not much that can stop it now. If it does get built, I pray for my children and grandchildren because they will be left to clean up this mess and hope that they can return it to the productive farm fields that it once used to be 30-50 years from now. For those in the area affected. Please take lots of pictures now so the next generation can see the beautiful countryside we used to Nickhave.Seifert Marrs Township

Southern Indiana, Posey County, especially Marrs Township, has some of the highest producing crop land in the region. It is also home to many residential homesteads. But recently our county voted to allow a 1400-acre solar project (Spread out over miles based on what landowners signed up) to take away this prime producing land and convert it to Solar arrays. This part of the country is known for Ice Storms, some snow, hail and damaging winds. None of which are good for solar panels. To say that I am a little disappointed in the Posey County government (specifically the Area Planning Commission and the County Council), would be an understatement. As you are probably aware, the Area Planning Commission voted to approve the 1400 acre “Solar Farm” in Marrs Township on August 15, 2022. I have many questions that have not been answered, so I am going to post them here to see if someone can shed some light on why this wasMyallowed.understanding is that the normal process for any large construction project, like this solar project, begins with the Area Planning Commission to ensure that the proposed project has met all the ordinances, they have filed all the necessary paperwork and that the project does not harm the residents of the county. After the APC approves the project plans, the project will be presented to the County Council Commissioners and the Posey County Council that they have met the requirements of the county. The Council then will vote to allow the project to move forward or not. The County Council vote is based on what those elected members feel their constituents would want. For some reason, yet to be known to the public, the final step did not happen. The APC made the final decision to approve or deny. The big issue, the APC is an appointed committee. The citizens of the county have no say on who is appointed to these seats. The County Council and Council Commissioners ARE voted into office. This project was approved, against the wishes of many residences, by people we did not elect to make this kind of decision. How can a project of this size that affects so many residences of this county, go outside the process? There are many rumors floating around, but I would like someone to answer thisThepublicly.votewas approved by a margin of 5-3. A 4-4 vote would not have passed. There were 2 APC members that stated when they made their vote, that they had to say APPROVE because the solar company had met ALL the requirements of the ordinances and had filed all the necessary papers. It is the job of the APC to do that. Even if they do not feel the project would be a benefit to the county. That is the role of the County Council. The solar company was very diligent in making sure they had met all the requirements and would probably have sued the county if it did not pass. This put the APC members who were against this project in a very tough situation. It was also stated that they were voting YES for landowner rights. Landowners should have the ability to do what they want with the land they own if it does not negatively affect neighbors. I commend the three members who voted “no” for listening to the people who were born, raised, lived, moved to, and raised families in this beautiful county. Several comments were shared during the final meeting which has me scratching my head. The APC was very happy that the Solar company was going to remove the Topsoil, and “retain” it as much as possible on the property from where it was removed. So, the landowner will get their own soil put back when the project is decommissioned 30-50 years from now. 1. If they remove 6-12 inches of valuable Topsoil from a 50-acre field, how high will that pile have to be where solar panels are not being installed? 2. If they remove the fertile topsoil, then plant “native” grasses, do they really expect that those seed will germinate and produce a healthy ground cover? The likelihood is that noxious weeds will take over and will spread those weed seeds to adjoining non-participating land. 3. After this valuable topsoil has been piled up for 30-50 years, will the quality of that soil even be close to what it was before? Has there ever been any studies onOnethis?of the people opposed to the project stated to the APC during the public portion of the final meeting, that they had heard one of the members from the northern part of the county say, they would approve it “as long as it is NOT in my backyard”. The opposing person went on to say that when Windmills were being studied in the northern part of the county, it was fought very hard, and it got voted down. That was later clarified by the president of the APC that the wind companies had never filed so it was not voted on. While that may be accurate, let’s look at the rest of the facts. The APC members were designing and modifying the Wind and Solar ordinances for the county when they heard that Wind Farms were looking at northern Posey County. They set the parameters at 2.5 times the height (including the blades) of non-participating landowners property line. That made it nearly impossible for wind to be built so the company decided to look elsewhere. BUT in April 2021, when the Solar company was negotiating to build in the southern part of the county, the APC CHANGED the setback distance from the leading edge of a non-participating residence (home) to 300 feet in the solar ordinance because their “Solar Lawyer” from out of the county informed them that no solar company would come to the county with larger restrictions. It is only 100 foot from a non-participating owners property line. For those that do not seem to think this is a big deal, let’s put that into an example that is easier to visualize. If you lived in County Club Estates and had a beautiful view of the golf course, which you do not own, but you purchased your home because of that wonderful view. Then someone decides to no longer have a golf course but decides to change it to an industrial solar project. It will be 300 ft (the length of a football field) from your house (not the edge of your yard) and it will have a fence around it. They can only make the panels 15 ft tall but that is more than the height of the backboard in basketball. Do you think the value of your home would drop with a change like this, even though that property owner has landowner rights to do it, as the APC states? The solar company says it will not lower your home value. How would you feel sitting out on your back deck now, listening to the hum of solar panel and tilt motors, getting the increased 5-plus degrees in temperature around a solar project, getting the reflection of sun off the panels instead of the wonderful view you had before? That is what the homeowners in southern Marrs township will be going through. Not even considering the months and years of construction equipment pounding steel beams in the ground, moving dirt (creating dust for months) and hundreds of construction workers (not from the area) roaming around near their yards where their children are playing outside. The damage to the roads and surrounding area that we have seen on other solar projects is immense. Personal vehicles get damaged from the road conditions and the solar company will NOT claim responsibility. I’m confident that those who might try to sell their home with an industrial solar project 300 feet from the foundation of their home (not the property line) will NOT get top dollar for the largest investment most of them have made. Where are the rights of those land (home) owners? House value guarantees were discussed, but the APC members were convinced by the solar group that values would not drop, so that did not happen. Please explain to me how this is possible.
Our Federal Government just signed a multi-billion-dollar Inflation Reduction Act. This Act was communicated to the public that it would provide billions of dollars to expand our green energy, and lower energy costs to the customer. My question is Who is getting this money? Does the Solar company building the project get this money? How does that help the citizens of Posey County, when they will take that additional profit back to their corporate office in another state? Does CenterPoint get it? The county or landowners? CenterPoint is known for passing along costs to the customers. I would like to see where and how much those funds will reduce the add-ons to my energy bill. As a side note, there are billions of dollars in this Inflation Reduction Act for power companies to switch from coal to natural gas. I am guessing that CenterPoint will be getting those funds for the A.B Power Plant that is also in Marrs Township near this project. It is in the process of converting. But they already have the customer rate increase approved from the state for that project. Will we see that reduced since the taxpayers are already paying for the change?

Big Tent Show Next Week - Mount Vernon is fortunate in having with us all next week, beginning Monday, September 4, Choate’s Comedians, featuring Mae Choate, emotional leading lady in a repertoire of successes. The show will arrive here Sunday afternoon and will pitch their tent on the Robinson lot on College Avenue, between Second and Third streets. The advance man, Mr. Choate said that admission will be 10 cents, but our show is worth five times as much. Posey County Horseman Assaulted At Carmi Fair Gus Benton, Posey County horseman, was in serious condition for several days at Carmi, Illinois, following an assault on him by a driver at the Carmi fairgrounds Thursday afternoon. The assault occurred just after the second heat of the pace. Benton was driving his own horse, Borman H., when Mr. Walton - first whipped Mr. Benton’s horse - and then struck Benton across the forehead just above the left eye with the butt-end of his whip. An operation was performed Saturday by Dr. Sibley of Carmi and Mr. Benton is slowly recovering. Large Crowd at Salem Church - The committee in charge of the afternoon picnic and chicken supper, given at Salem Church on the UpperEvansville - Mount Vernon Road Sunday were well pleased with the response of the people. One of the largest crowds ever assembled on the grounds was present on this day to partake of the splendid dinner and enjoy the entertainment. Shortly after four, the large tent under which the tables were spread was open and the people were admitted. The tables were laden with fine fried chicken, country ham, pies, cakes, and many other good things to eat. The meal was splendidly prepared and enjoyed. During the evening, music was furnished by a string orchestra. The affair was a financial success and both the committee and good ladies of the Church are to be congratulated.

Dr. Hasting’s Zebroids - Through the courtesy of E. Kreutzinger we have received a copy of the New York Evening Post wherein they editorially commented on the Zebroids being bred in Posey County by Dr. W.E. Hasting. The article follows: “Out in Mount Vernon Indiana, Dr. Hasting is developing a race of stiff competitors for the Fordson Tractor by mating Arabian males and African zebras. The result of this interesting cross is the zebroid, a handsome, striped animal much like the mule in size and contour. Handsome, though zebroids may be, they are built for work and not for show. They pull the enterprising doctor’s plow through the rich loam of Posey County, the extreme toe of the Indiana boot. Highly resistant to heat and fatigue, they out-do the mule on the bottom lands. Unless zebroids develop ailments at present unnoticed, the prediction is that they will live far longer than horses or mules. The parent zebra lives in its native habitat to the ripe old age of 75, unless polished off by its enemies. The expectation is that American Zebroids will reach an age of 50 in good condition, thereby more than doubling the usual lifespan of a horse. The zebra in his wildness is hard to handle, but his zebroid offspring are said to inherit the gentleness of the dam along with the sire’s tough strength. If the new animal is acclimatized, that success will be merely one more indication that animal husbandry still has a long way to go before the full possibilities of the science are exhausted.”

Note: We look forward to attending the sausage supper at Salem every year in November. Supper At Zion’s Church - The 6 p.m., dinner at Zion’s Church (Lippe) in Robinson Township was enjoyed by persons from all sections of the county. A number from this city drove up to partake of a good, old country dinner such that only the good ladies of “Old Robinson” could prepare. The large tables fairly groaned under their burden of weight of the eats, but after the large, hungry crowd was seated the weight was lightened considerably. The proceeds from the dinner will be used in church affairs and the committee is thankful to those who patronized them.

“Sometimes he would not breathe and then gasp and wake up. He had many health issues associated with sleep apnea, such as heart problems, high blood pressure and diabetes. I would watch him and wonder, what can I do to help him? I decided to get more education and took the two-year course offered by the American Academy of Dental Sleep MedicineBrown(AADSM).”isatotal believer in the efficacy of the oral appliance to treat the sleep apnea condition which causes those afflicted with the condition to wake up gasping for breath and snoring. She is the only accredited dentist offering Oral Appliance Therapy in Posey and Gibson Counties. At present, the standard treatment for sleep apnea is a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine. “Sleeping with a CPAP machine, which includes a face mask, tubing, and a constantly running motor, can be difficult and many users are unaware that an effective and comfortable alternative treatment is available to them,” said Brown. The AADSM estimates that up to 50 percent of sleep apnea patients do not comply with or tolerate CPAP.

Sermon of the Week - What Matters
Brown’s alternative is a mouth guard-like device worn only during sleep to maintain an open, unobstructed airway. Patients like the oral device therapy because it is comfortable, easy to wear, quiet, portable, and easy to care for. “This treatment option offers a higher rate of patient compliance than CPAP. I work with my patients and their sleep physicians to identify the right style of appliance device, and then I custom fit them to each patient and adjust as needed,” she explained. “A certified sleep physician needs to make the sleep apnea diagnosis and refer the patient to me for custom fabrication of an appliance.” Positioning of the jaw is key to the proper fit in opening up the airway. ”Do you remember the first step of giving CPR? It is to pull the jaw forward and open so to position the airway open. In sleep apnea, the airway is obstructed when our internal structures fall back and close off our airway.Untreated sleep apnea has many side effects associated with the constant waking up. It strains the heart and leads to strokes, heart failure, and high blood pressure. Other problems may be diabetes, GERD reflux, loss of libido, and frequent trips to the bathroom. Snoring in some patients may be so loud and strong as to make the curtains go back and forth—remember those old cartoons? Most Medicare Plans pay 100 percent of the cost of this appliance and it is a covered service for most private insurance companies. If you feel you or someone you know may be suffering from sleep apnea make an appointment at Poseyville Dental Sleep solution and Brown and her friendly staff will get you the help you need by referring you to a local sleep physician at Deaconess Sleep Center, Saint Vincents or Wabash Valley Hospitals. The personable, friendly dentist received her license in 1998 at the University of Louisville and did her undergrad work at Murray State University in Kentucky. She started working with Dr. James Hammelman in Poseyville in 1999 and purchased his practice in 2002. “I’ve been active in the community since then,” she said. She lives in Wadesville with her husband, two children, sixteen horses, cats, and a bullAsmastiff.proponents of the product, she and her husband both use the device at night as well as her mother. “It’s too late to help my dad as he’s passed on,” she said wistfully.

GERTON AUTO SALES ~We appraise classic vehicles ~ Bro. Terry Atchison Mark 12:30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. Early morning finds me on my deck, contemplating my past and what is left of my future. My green tea brews in my cup while my thoughts return to another time, a simpler time; a time when we knew that God blessed America. I was born five years after the end of World War II. We had a hand pump next to the kitchen sink, and our toilet was outside... a “two holer”. We washed ourselves in the kitchen. No TV, but we did listen to the old radio shows, many of which later arrived on the “little screen”. We didn’t have much money, but we were a happy family. Fluffy white clouds float by above me as I take the first sip of my green tea. Mmm, good. I remember that when I went outside back then, that there was always a faint odor of a wood fire or coal fire in the air. Yep. I still love those odors. Family ties seemed much stronger back then. Our meals were always with the whole family. We had family reunions on a regular basis and communicated often, mostly by handwritten letters. We went to the library as a family and checked out books, then returned home to fruits and nuts, snacking as each one found satisfaction in their choice of reading material. Friendships seemed to mean more at that time too. We knew that we could count on our friends, true friends, as we counted on our family. A handshake was as good as a signed contract. We took each other at theirMoreword.tea and contemplation. Times change. Customs change. Routines and habits change, and sadly, people change. Our evolution in life becomes affected by outside events that we have no control over. What used to be acceptable is now unacceptable, or vice versa. We adapt, we learn, we act, wanting to be a good cog meshing in the big wheel. But what really matters in all of the chaos? Our relationship with God is paramount. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Paul says that what really matters is God’s new creation, “the family of people who trust in Jesus and learn to love God and others through the power of the Spirit.” Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. So some people say what matters most for them are relationships, experiences, memories... things that can’t be replaced. I understand where they are coming from and I can relate. Our world has come a long way, with many bumps, curves, and sometimes even crashes. Every person has their own “What Matters”. For me, it is my trying to make a difference for God, sharing His love. Time for another cup of green tea. Amen

My favorite memory during school would have to be when we beat Heritage Hills in football my sophomore year, and watching the excitement of my team when we won. What do you enjoy doing (out of school activities and/or for fun) during your free time? I enjoy baseball and football. I also enjoy hunting and fishing.

Tell me about your family. I have four siblings. They are all younger than me. My mom is a teacher at North Posey, and my dad works at EBN. My family is very active, and we are always busy. What do you enjoy doing (out of school activities and/or for fun) during your free time? I like hanging out with my friends and family during my free time. What advice would you share with younger elementary or middle school students? Never give up on what you want to do in life. What is a fun fact about you that people may not know? I am the oldest on both sides of my family. What is your favorite quote and why? “Everything happens for a reason.” This is my favorite quote because you never know what will happen, so you always have to be ready for anything. It is evident that despite adversity with an unfortunate injury, Renee found a way to be creative and persevere, so she could still take part in her passion, Volleyball. Thank you Renee for all of the work you do behind the scenes for our Volleyball team. The work does not go unnoticed!

By Trisha L. Lopez A Mount Vernon towing company is under new ownership.Black’s Towing, located at 600 Wolflin St., was recently purchased by Austin and Sara Westerfield after longtime owners Brian and Yvonne Black decided the time had come to step away. Brian Black had a stroke four years ago. Black said he’s spent the past four years working to rehabilitate and he is “really concentrating” on getting stronger. Black started his career as a registered nurse, but said he became burnt out and desired a change. He got into the towing business with a friend which ultimately led to his family opening Black’s Towing nearly 25 years ago.

We had a great season and a great team. We only lost to one team the whole season and it was the future state champions. What is a fun fact about you that many people don’t know? In my free time, I like to go fishing. What words do you live by? Everything happens for a reason. What is a funny or your favorite mem-

several years ago. Black said he was coming from church on a Sunday when he was contacted by one of his drivers who was having trouble pulling a vehicle out of a ditch. “I thought, ‘Well, I’ll run out there right quick.’ and when I got there, I showed him how to get (the vehicle) out of the ditch. Here comes this guy, driving up, and slid almost into the cop car that was out there. The cop was sitting out there, too. (The driver) drug this woman out of the passenger seat and laid her on the ground. The cop was on the phone and the radio at the same time. When I walked up there, the woman was not blue, she was gray. She was dead. She had no pulse. She’s not breathing at all. I instructed (the man) to give her breaths and I did the CPR. After about three minutes, she coughed. I said ‘Ok. Let alone.’ She started pinking up and here comes the ambulance. This lady was dead. When she coughed that one time, she came out of it,” Black said. Westerfield is the former owner of A.W. Dirt Works, an excavating company. He said he ended his excavating business to “start this new journey.” Westerfield said he grew up around an uncle that owned a towing business in Bowling Green, Ky. and “always wanted to own a towing company.” He moved to Mount Vernon six years“I’mago.looking forward to helping out the people in Posey County,” he said. “I have literally been around the towing business since I was“Weborn.”offer full roadside assistance, towing and recovery, in Mount Vernon. We have four trucks and a roadside assistance truck now,” Westerfield said. He said Black’s Towing can handle light to medium duty towing and recovery jobs, “unlocks, jump starts, tire changes and fuel delivery.”Westerfield changed the name from Black’s Automotive and Towing to Black’s Towing LLC, but said he’s retained the business’s phone number, staff and dedication to quality service. “We’re just new faces with the same number,” Westerfield said.

Wells, a combat veteran who enlisted in the Army National Guard after the September 11 attacks and currently serves as a lieutenant colonel in military intelligence, shared her passion for protecting the integrity of elections. She said she was raised in a conservative town and called herself the “black sheep” of her family with a “lifetime of training in talking across the aisle.” She talked about her desire to see her son, who turned 3 on Friday, stay in Indiana as a ninth generation Hoosier.
did a poll of political demographics on my sub, I was serving with 75 percent Republicans and I’m a Democrat. These Republicans trusted me with their lives as I trusted them with mine. If something went wrong, we were quick to help each other and support each other. And then, in the real world, I get out here and I meet a Republican and they hate me and they want me to fail. It’s just not how I grew up. It’s not how I operate and it’s not how I think things should operate and that’s what it’s going right now,” McDermott said. He said the refusal to put people before politics has become a roadblock to progress. McDermott talked about traveling around the state and getting to know Hoosiers in his bid to challenge Republican Senator Todd Young. He said his Grateful Dead fandom says a lot about his personality. “I think the Grateful Dead is happy music. It’s peaceful music. It’s hard to be angry at anything.”Hetalked about reproductive rights and the importance of legal precedent. The Notre Dame law school grad said the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe vs Wade “makes me fearful for what comes next.”
“I don’t want him to feel like he succumbed to the battle of state’s rights as a Hoosier and needed to move away to provide a better state for his family. That is what is on the line this year,” Wells said. “You asked me why I’m running for secretary of state. I don’t need to run for the fancy office. That’s fine. This office should be boring, but after 2020 it is boring no longer. This office is where democracy will either continue to thrive or it will slip into darkness. It will die and an autocracy will start to rule states like Indiana.”
McCormick, a lifetime farmer dedicated to conservation, said he enjoys meeting with Hoosiers on the campaign trail.
“People of southwestern Indiana are fabulous. You get to go to parades and walk up in people’s yards, shake their hands and ask them what’s on their mind. They want hope that things are going to get better. They don’t ask me to do things for them. They ask me to help our country. There’s something about the way they look you in the eye and hold your hand that they’re concerned about the direction our country is going in,” McCormick said. “I think Liz Cheney said it best. She said ‘This ain’t no joke.’ It truly shocked me. I mean, we’d all thought about it, but our democracy is in peril. What people believe, what people say, what politicians will do to stay in office…they put their careers as politicians ahead of our country. That’s got to stop. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat or a Republican. You do the right thing. You stay to your word. That’s one thing we learned in my family growing up on a farm. Honesty is everything. That’s who you are as a person. You don’t lie. If what you’ve got to say is going to hurt, you still speak the truth. I think that a lot of people get that in this country. A lot of people that are here tonight believe the same thing. Honesty is the key part of saving our democracy.”
Board member Andy Hoehn asked if Rush talked with Tom’s CB about equipping the cars? Mayor Curtis replied yes, they have in the past, but the issue is the additional insurance that the city requires. Chief Rush stated he understands they have used local companies in the past, and as for Tom’s they would also need to be able to install cages, lights, etc. “With a business like On-Duty, this is their specialty, this is what they do so they have everything.”The chief agreed to check with some other agencies to see who they use and check out other possible dealers. Mayor Curtis said they had used someone local before, Aaron Heidinger, but he may haveGoingmoved.back to the two quotes brought in, Board member Hoehn asked if both vehicles quoted were comparable vehicles? “A $10,000 difference in amount is a big difference,” he observed. Rush replied yes they were, they requested vinyl seats and a spotlight and one of these quotes is for a base police package vehicle. Mayor Curtis noted the difference in price is quite a bit, but this is also not the first time this has happened. The price is also the state bid price. “I feel a good not-toexceed amount would be $51,000, when all is said and done. The vehicle would be a 2023 and the sooner we can get on the list, the sooner the dealer can get it ordered,” the Chief pointed out. Hoehn made a motion that Chief Rush proceed with the quote from Dodge, notto-exceed $51,000. It was seconded by Board member David Dodd and carried unanimously.Inotherdepartment reports and--Dixonbusiness:reported, since the last meeting, there were 27 runs; three of those were car accidents and three were fires. The remainder were medical runs. Audience member Paula Rudibaugh told him the fixed Hedges storm siren is really working well. --Rush reported, since their meeting two weeks ago, there have been nine car accidents; 19 animal complaints; 26 traffic offenses; and 146 other calls for service. He clarified that the 19 animal complaints covered various situations, such as an abandoned iguana, and only eight of those complaints were actual dog issues.--Utilities Superintendent Chuck Gray told the board that his crews have been doing some general plant maintenance; and on the east side of town, they have cleaned 2,536 feet of main. He concluded by stating the line to the plant will be finished up as soon as Roger Carr returns. Mayor Curtis stated he believes the bids are out on the new lift station. Mayor Curtis added it will go to the paper today, with publication the next two
McClellan said her drive comes from “caring about Indiana. That’s where it comes from. That’s where it starts.”
‘Mount Vernon’ continued from Page A1 they purchase, it is usually several at a time. We are behind them right now in the line for service. When I contacted them, I was told that Mount Vernon’s vehicles may not be ready until midSeptember,” he explained.
McClellan shared Wells’ vision for protecting democracy at all levels of state and local government. McClellan, an Indiana University journalism grad who serves as the Monroe County treasurer, is passionate about the impact that local government can make on Hoosier lives.

“Using that line of thought, they can attack same sex marriage, contraceptives, interracial marriage. These discussions are happening. I’m not saying it’s going anywhere, but they are having discussions. Stuff we talked about in the 40s and 50s,” McDermott said. McDermott addressed the need to protect the environment and promote green energy, but said it is important to find a way to coexist with farming families who do not want to lose their agricultural way of life. “As mayor for the last 20 years, the hardest thing to get any community to do is change the way they’ve done business for a long time, especially when you’re talking about something that’s such a staple,” McDermott said. “Hopefully we can peacefully coexist with a green economy and still respect our agriculture. I think that’s something we should strive for. It’s one of the things I love about coming down here is the rolling hills and the beautiful farms. We don’t want that to go away. Farming and agriculture are so important in Posey County and southern Indiana. At the same time, we need to change the way we’re operating. Personally, I believe the Earth is warming. Weather patterns are changing. Lakes are drying up. Rivers are drying up. We need to do something about that because we have children and we’re going to be turning this world over to them and to our grandchildren. We want to make sure that we give them the Earth that we inherited. I think it’s changing and it’s incumbent upon us to do something, but I don’t think it’s incumbent upon us to wipe out the farms in Posey County. Hopefully there’s a middle ground that we can live with.” Brooks, a former University of Louisville track athlete, told attendees about her competitive spirit and the need to adapt to “Evenwin.asa church and as a person of faith, I’ve been trying to tell people that we have an opportunity to re-brand what a person of faith is supposed to look like. I think the other party has kind of taken it, but they don’t have a monopoly on what it looks like to be a person of faith,” Brooks said. “Regardless if you are a Christian or if you are a Jew or a Muslim or a member of any other religious sect, I think the commonality is that we believe that we have to operate in love, in grace and forgiveness…care about people and make sure people have the resources they need,” said Brooks, who works as a CPA for Cummins and is married to a pastor. She said she wants to bring accountability and credibility to the state auditor’s office and stand for Hoosiers that have been“Oneunderrepresented.partyiscontrolling all the decisions from the beginning to the end. We need to get more people in there from this side of the ticket to add checks and balances, to add a voice for the people. We’re sitting on this surplus. Are we reinvesting that back in communities? When I’m going around the state, I’m hearing from people. I’m hearing from our rural farmers. I’m hearing from you guys. I’m hearing from black and brown communities. We don’t really have everything that we need. Our state is suffering when it comes to food and health care and education. There’s not enough money being put back into these things that can really change the way we are living. Unfortunately, I don’t know if a $100 or $200 refund is going to do it,” Brooks said, drawing laughter from the crowd. “How can we have a larger impact on people? That’s what I’m trying to bring to the office.”

“Part of my story is that I was a domestic violence survivor. I did use a lot of services. I was briefly homeless. My boyfriend was in jail. All of a sudden I was just thrown into this environment of needing a lot of help. I have lived through that. I learned a lot about what somebody in that kind of position needs, what kind of support they need. A lot of people are in need. Sometimes they take the wrong fork in the road, but you can come back from that with the right kind of support. It started with me in county government. I was like ‘this really helps people,’” McClellan said. She said she hopes to generate excitement about voting to encourage others to make their voices heard. “I really want to get people excited to vote. I want to get my message out there. I want (Hoosiers) to hear a message that resounds with them. I don’t want it to be about party. I want it to be about caring for Indiana. If you hear something that you like, that you want in your county or in your life, vote for me. If you don’t, you can vote for somebody else. It’s about voting. We’ve got to keep Hoosiers interested in voting,” McClellan said in an interview before the meeting. “I’m a little bit younger. I’m an energetic female. I feel like that gives people a little “She’s just like us. She’s a mom.’ I call myself the gay midwestern mom. ‘She’s just a gay midwestern mom and she’s running for state treasurer.’”

By Trisha L. Lopez It was a tale of two halves at Memorial Field on Friday as Mount Vernon football squared off against South Spencer in the Wildcats home opener. Mount Vernon’s defense struggled out of the gate. A pair of off-side penalties and some big plays by South Spencer seniors quarterback Nathan Hurt and receiver Kyle OImstead marched the Rebels down the field. The Wildcats defense rallied and looked poised to stall the drive, but a fourth and one yard Hurt pass drew a pass interference call against the Cats, setting the Rebels up on Mount Vernon’s 20-yard line. A tackle by junior Beau Baldwin cost the Rebels two yards and senior Payne Healy and junior Abe Thomas wreaked havoc on third down, forcing the Rebels to settle for a field goal after a seven minute opening drive. Mount Vernon’s offense had no such difficulties. Freshman Shane Krieger recovered the Rebels onside kick to set the Cats up with great field position. A first snap handoff from junior Nicot Burnett to junior Kortez Stewart led to a 69-yard touchdown. An extra point from junior Grant Doherty followed and the Cats were on top 7-3 with just 20 seconds having passed on the clock. Mount Vernon got the ball back a minute later after a strong defensive effort forced a quick four and out for the Rebels. A Mount Vernon touchdown by junior Caleb Tyus was called back because of a penalty, but the Wildcats quickly rebounded with a touchdown down the seam from Burnett to junior Jackson Clowers. Doherty connected again and Mount Vernon extended its lead, 14-3 with two minutes remaining in the first quarter. South Spencer opened the second quarter in a big way. The Rebels scored early, recovered their own onside kick and found the end zone again, shrinking Mount Vernon’s lead to three with just under 10 minutes to play in the half. Mount Vernon moved the chains quickly with plays by Burnett and Tyus. A Burnett run on third down set Stewart up for his second touchdown of the night. Doherty’s third extra point gave Mount Vernon a 21-17 lead. The Wildcats defense shut the Rebels down on the next series, but Olmstead picked off a Burnett pass and South Spencer scored again…the Rebels third touchdown of the quarter…to retake the lead 24-21 with 1:20 remaining in the half. Burnett found Tyus and freshman Nash Hostetter to move the ball down the field and a five-yard Burnett keeper put the Wildcats back on top. Doherty’s kick was automatic and the Cats went into the break with a 28-24 advantage. Mount Vernon dominated the second half on both sides of theAnball.early turnover on downs did little to stifle the Wildcats momentum.TheCatsdefense held South Spencer scoreless in the third quarter. A near takeaway by Tyus, a tackle for loss and a quarterback takedown by junior Parker Willard forced a South Spencer punt. Clowers found the endzone on a 52-yard pass play minutes later. Doherty’s fifth extra point of the night gave the Wildcats a 35-24 lead with two minutes left in the quarter. The Rebels offense struggled. An interception by Krieger put the Wildcats back in scoring position. Stewart bulldozed through the Rebels defensive line and added another Wildcats touchdown. Doherty’s sixth extra point was just as solid as the five before and Mount Vernon stretched its lead, 42-24. South Spencer’s offensive woes continued. They couldn’t gain any ground and were forced to punt. The punt was blocked by freshman Brady Schickel, giving the Wildcats good field position to start the fourth quarter. A five-yard pass from Burnett to Hostetter for a quarter-opening touchdown and Doherty’s seventh extra point put the Cats on top, 49-24.Mount Vernon’s defense found the end zone on the next series. Hurt was sacked by Thomas on first down. Schickel forced a fumble on the next play, popping the ball to Willard who ran 67 yards for the Wildcats final score. Doherty came through again, going a perfect eight for eight on the night. The Rebels added a rushing touchdown late, but they couldn’t overcome the Wildcats advantage. Mount Vernon picked up its first win of 2022, 56-30. The Wildcats racked up 349 total yards of offense. Stewart led all rushers with 105 yards and three touchdowns on 14 carries. Burnett had 53 yards on the ground with a touchdown on eight carries. Senior Colton Lippe had two carries for six yards. Burnett completed 12 of 16 passes for 184 yards and three touchdowns. He had one interception. Clowers led the Cats air game with four catches for two touchdowns and 106 yards.

By Dave Pearce The North Posey Vikings got into the end zone quickly and then often during Friday night’s 53-14 win over the Princeton Tigers at Joe Gengelbach Field in Poseyville.TheVikings realized that turn-about is fair play as they took the opening kick-off, in the hands of Jed Galvin, into the end zone for a 6-0 lead just 12 seconds into the contest. Although the extra point was missed, it gave the Vikings the start they needed, unlike last week’s opener at South Spencer where the Rebels returned the Viking’s opening kick-off for a touchdown.Coach Waylon Schenk agreed that it is better to do it to someone else than to have it done to you. And talking to the players after the game, his message was consistent. The Vikings dominated the statistics with 455 yard of offense while holding the Tigers to only 63. Stone hit on 10-of-13 passed and the Vikings rushed for 299 yards. The Viking defense held the Tigers without a completion in six attempts. The Tigers finished the night with only two first downs to 27 for the Vikings.“Don’t be satisfied,” Schenk warned his team following the game. “Don’t be satisfied and don’t become complacent.”TheVikings looked anything but satisfied and complacent as they put a second touchdown in the first quarter when Liam’s Stone’s pass to Kaedyn Stewart was complete and Kaleb Herke hit the extra point. But then it happened. Usually steadyhanded back Jed Galvin gave up a fumble on the Vikings’ own 20 and Tiger Kaleb Ice ran it into the end zone to put the Tigers on the board, also in the first quarter. Ronnie Rodocker’s kick brought the Tigers back to within 13-7 with under a minute left in the first quarter. The second quarter was different. The Vikings dominated both sides of the ball as Kolton Gardner punched one in from seven yards out just a little under two minutes into the second quarter, to put the Vikings ahead 20-14. “Kolton Gardner has made himself a football player,” Scheck said of Gardner. “He played a lot of jayvee last year and dedicated himself to the weight room. He’s our glue right now and can play any of four or five positions and plays all special teams. Jed Galvin is a good back but Colton Gardner is too. It’s nice to have them both. Jace Gauer can run the ball too.” Six minutes later, Galvin again found the end zone on a 14-yard run to extend the Viking lead to 26-14. Then, after a strong defensive stand, Stone four Jackson Graff in stride in the corner of the end zone and Graff found a way to make the catch and get both feet down in the end zone to give the Vikings a 32-7 lead at the half in what could be termed an overall overpowering performance. Despite missing four of five extra points in the first half, Schenk was not surprised at his team’s performance.Following the game, Schenk said he thought the Vikings would be able to handle the Tigers as he believes North Posey to be a much stronger team this year. “We know we are young and our kids have been told they are young,” Schenk said. “We know we graduated a lot last year but the expectation hasn’t changed. This is a special group…not many seniors but they are prettyTerhunespecial.”and Gammon are the anchor for a group of 15 linemen in practice every day.However, the Tigers ran the second half kick-off back for their second score of the night and when Rodocker tacked on the extra point, the Tigers were back to within 32-14.But that was the last legitimate scoring opportunity the Tigers would have. The Viking defense stepped up and the Vikings offense did what it is capable of doing. Just over a minute in the quarter, Stone found Galvin for a 68yard touchdown and Herke’s extra point gave the Vikings their cushion back at 39-14. “Our defense played a pretty good game but we wish we would have played better on special teams,” Schenk said. “But overall, the outcome was what we expected if we played up to ourJustcapabilities.”forgood measure, the Vikings added two more scores in the third quarter, the first on a Gardner oneyard touchdown run and the other on a Stone seven-yard run gallop into the end zone. Herke regained the extra point magic in the second half, nailing all three extra points to give the Vikings a 53-14 lead. The offense was explosive at times on Friday night and Schenk said his team has been playing offense at a fast tempo. Going 10-of-13 through the air could give an indication the Vikings might be a threat in the air. Right now, Schenk believes the run game is ahead of the passing game but the passing game is catching up and has been effective when needed. “Liam is a really good thrower,” Schenk said of Stone. “We are seeing some glimpses of how good he can be in the pass game. For us to be as good as we can be, he will have to be able to throw the ball some.” In each of the first two games, the Vikings have played very fast. Scheck explained the reasoning behind that.

The Mount Vernon High School Lady Wildcat Cross Country team continued its improvement at the annual Dennis Bays Invitational hosted by Evansville Harrison High School on Saturday. After a week of hard practice, the girls toed the line in the hot sun at Angel Mounds and still showed great improvement in finishing 15th out of 23 schools. It was sophomore Brynn Davis’ turn to lead the ‘Cats as she finished in 56th place completing the course in over two minutes faster than last weekend at Boonville (and two minutes faster than a year ago at this same race). Sophomore Avery Stills ran second for the ‘Cats for the second race in a row running nearly seven seconds faster than last weekend and a minute-and-a-half faster than she ran the course a year ago. Running third for Mount Vernon was junior Krissy Bazan and just two seconds behind her was fellow junior Ashley Lilleston who both finished the course in the top half at 66th and 67th out of 140 competitors. Running an outstanding race for only her second 5K of her career, freshman Ellie Blackburn was fifth for Mount Vernon dropping nearly two minutes off her time from last weekend. This again put the first to fidth split right at two minutes.Rounding out the competitors for the Wildcats were sophomore Izzy Zieren who battled the same heat a year ago, but finished the course four minutes faster this season. Competing in their first 5K races were juniors Destin Gentry and freshman Avery Fritschle. Not only was this their first race, it was the furthest they have run at one time as they are also members of the MVHS Fall Sideline Cheer team. “I’m excited to see what they will accomplish after a few more weeks of practice and a few more 5K’s under their belts,” Wildcat Coach Leigh Latshaw said. “Proving that working hard and being sore during the week can still produce positive results on race day, these ladies continue to improve,” Latshaw continued. “As we continue to get stronger and the temps cool off toward championship season, the sky’s the limit for these ladies.” The team will be back in action Thursday at the Alan Hopewell Class Invitational hosted by Gibson Southern. The races will be broken up into Frosh/Soph and Junior/ Senior for both boys and girls.In a similar fashion, the top four teams at the Dennis Bays Invitational were the same on both the boys and girls sides with only the order changing. Proving they remain at the top of the southwestern Indiana cross country scene, South Knox edged past both Reitz and Tell City in taking top honors on MountSaturday.Vernon fought hard to earn an 18th place of 25 schools represented at the annual Dennis Bays Invitational at Angel Mounds. Evansville Harrison hosts this meet with the majority of the SIAC and PAC schoolsSophomorerepresented. Hayden Deckard stayed within striking distance of his mentor Carson Tucker through the first half of the race. Taking advantage of his opportunity, he surged past his teammate and finished the 5K race 30 seconds faster than a week ago to break the 20-minute barrier and finish in 54th place. Tucker pushed through six places ahead of where he finished a year ago just seven seconds off of that pace. Moving up 16 spots from a year ago was senior Ethan Sutfin as he finished in 82nd place out of over 200 runners. Running 12 seconds faster than last weekend was freshman Mason Hagan who just missed out on a top half finish with his gutsy performance. Scoring fifth for the Wildcats was freshman Ryan“LikeMcCollum.thegirls, the boys put in a hard week of practice that found them sore and tired, but they still fought to improve upon either last weekend or from a year ago at this same race,” Latshaw said. “Their hard work will pay off when the time comes to start a taper as we enter the championship portion of theLikeseason.”the girls, the Wildcat boys will compete at the Alan Hopewell Invitational Thursday at Gibson Southern.

This game totally went in Gibson Southern’s direction for an 8-0 win. The Lady Titans have a very good team. They dribble the ball well, make good passes and always know where their teammates are on the field. It was veryNorthimpressive.Poseystruggled from the start and never could find a rhythm or consistency at any time of this game.

Junior Makenna Bryant, sophomore Laney Owens, junior Sam Rhew, and senior Kylea DeVoy held Tell City to only one goal and did a wonderful job of building out of the back. Goalkeeper Addy Gamblin had a great game at the net. Gamblin had five saves in this matchup. Scoring goals for the Lady Vikings were Zoe Bippus, Mason Ashby, Kayla Jones, and Makali Carter.

Then On Thursday, North Posey lost another home game to South Spencer 3-0. On Saturday morning, the Vikings traveled to Tell City to take on the Marksmen. North Posey came up short and fell 3-2.

North Posey was in this game to that point and played well. In the first half, Blake Elpers from Gibson Southern scored a goal at the 30:55 mark of the game.

“I’m probably going too fast for them right now but we are trying to push them into shape,” he said. “We’re the same way in practice and I believe we have played ourselves into pretty good shape. Now we have to work on the execution part. We have to continue to get better each week and if we do that, this group can do some special things.” Neither team could find the end zone in the final period as they substituted freely and gave valuable playing time to other members of the team. Galvin led the team with 83 yards on the ground while Stone had 80. Gardner finished with 48 yards and Jace Gauer had 44 yards, despite sitting out much of the game with an injury. Darious Vincent finished with 30 yards and Graff had 14.Through the air, Galvin had 97 yards, Stewart had 32, and Graff had “Jackson27.Graff is a pretty special player, as well,” Schenk said. “We haven’t had to use him that much so far but we know that when we need big plays down the field, we can count on him. He’s a tight end playing wide receiver. He has great hands. Stewart is a threat, as well,” Matthew Stump had the Vikings’ only punt, good for 36 yards. Galvin had two kick-off returns for a total of 96 yards. “We are going to get better as we go and we are going to have to because the competition is going to get tougher,” Schenk said. But of the 42 players, 40 of them will be coming back next year. We have a chance to be a special group.” Despite getting off to a 2-0 start, the Vikings will have a big assignment on their hands when they travel to Southridge on Friday evening to take on the Raiders in a rare 6:30 contest.
