Michael Galvin to be offered NP School chief package

By Lynda Baker A special meeting of the North Posey School Board was held on July 27, 2020, for the purpose of discussing both a contract for an interim assistant superintendent and a two-year superintendent contract.

According to information presentred at the meeting, the two-year contract will be offered to Michael Galvin. The vacancy is due to the retirement of Dr. Todd Camp in February of 2021. Galvin will also enter into a regular teacher’s contract with the school district. Galvin would come to North Posey from Monticello where he is Superintendent of Schools at Twin Lakes School Corporation.

Attorney William Bender reviewed both contracts with the Board, giving particular attention to

Michael Galvin the following provisions: • Galvin would receive an initial salary of $108,000, which will

be prorated as of his start date, as school district contracts are normally awarded as of July 1 of each year.

•He will work alongside Camp until the end of February 2021 and perform duties under the direction of the Board.

•Evaluations will be performed in July of each year under both contracts.

•Reimbursement will be received for expenses incurred in attending school functions, which attendance is highly encouraged by the Board.

•Upon being award his required superintendents license and completion of his doctorate program, Galvin will receive a $3000 stipend.

•Upon Galvin moving to and residing within the school district, he will receive a one-time payment of $4500.

•He would receive the same personal leave time and medical insurance benefits as North Posey teachers, along with a $175,000 life insurance benefit, with the premiums for such benefits to be paid 100 percent by the school district.

•A $600 per year cellphone allowance is permitted under both contracts.

•A $200 per month automobile allowance shall be paid under the contract, provided the superintendent owns and insures his vehicle.

•Legal defense shall be provided under the contracts regarding a lawsuit or threat thereof for any action provided in good faith performance of his duties.

•The two-year contract would be extended annually, subject to evaluation by the Board in July of each

year of the contract and thereafter.

Galvin would receive a stipend of $500 with each successful evaluation, along with a $2000 base pay increase.

•The contract may be modified as the superintendent and Board may deem appropriate.

•Penalties will be assessed in the event the superintendent resigns without providing the Board with 120 days’ written notice.

In other business, Camp requested that the Board reapproved the two resolutions passed at the last meeting due solely to a clerical error, which approval was quickly given by the Board.

The Board approved the following personnel changes:

NH to seek COVID-19 grants

By Lois Mittino Gray Three issues revolving around the COVID-19 virus were the main focus of discussion at the July 21, morning meeting of the New Harmony Town Council. Councilors took action on applying for a grant to bring economic relief to small businesses, to purchase one disinfecting fogger and to purchase 25 signs to be placed around town regarding wearing facial coverings and social distancing.

The Council unanimously passed a resolution to submit a COVID-19 Phase 2 Grant Application to the Office of Community and Rural affairs (OCRA). If awarded to the town, the grant is for $250,000 to be meted out to any local small business, up to a maximum of $10,000 per application. Councilman Tom Williams made and Councilman Roger Wade seconded a motion that only businesses within New Harmony’s corporate limits shall be

eligible to apply and it was unanimously approved. Clerk-Treasurer Karla Atkins encouraged council members to ask businesses to write letters of support for the grant application. She said a number of letters have already been submitted. Council President Alvin Blaylock was approved to sign all required documents for the grant application.

The Economic Development Coalition (EDC) was unanimously hired to act as the grant administrator at the allowed 2.5 percent of the grant amount rate of payment, if approved. The town approved following the 13-step procedure outlined in an email from grant writer Debbie Bennett-Stearsman of EDC, dated July 9, 2020, to apply.The ClerkTreasurer and Town Council President were designated as the persons who the EDC would

MVFD says ‘no’ to testing site

By Lois Mittino Gray Mount Vernon Fire Chief Wes Dixon brought the serious issue of a city COVID-19 testing site to the July 30, Mount Vernon Board of Works meeting, as well as a little levity, with his story of a wayward cat that was stuck in a storm drain right under the middle of Main Street the night before. Unable to lure it with food, a fireman lowered down into the drain had to flush it out the other side with a high-powered fire hose. “The cat came out and ran right off. He’s healthy and we all had a few good laughs,” the Chief told the board.

On a more serious note, Dixon said he wanted to make the board aware that he turned down a request from the Posey County Health Department to set up a COVID-19 testing site in the combined Police-Fire Public Safety building parking lot. “I’m fine with the request to test on the lot, but they also need a place for the workers to clean up, use the New Harmony East Murphy Street resident Connie Buller took advantage of nice restroom, eat lunch and the like.

traffic to a minimum in an effort to keep everyone healthy, and it just wouldn’t work for ten months,” he explained about his refusal.

Mayor Bill Curtis said he also talked with Posey County Health Nurse Martye Fitts about the situation. “I told her we have a small staff and we can’t risk exposure of our officers and possible quarantine if exposed. I offered our empty lot at Second and Main, but again there is the facility problem”, he remarked.

Board member Andy Hoehn asked if they have any other possible sites in mind. Chief Dixon stated the Health Department told him they have a list, but they seem to be getting the same response from everyone asked to date. “Everybody’s understandably phobic,” he noted.

It was agreed that the best solution might be to use one of the empty storefronts on Fourth Street, having rest room facilities. Board member David Dodd questioned if any business could supply a public site with a port-

And my attempts to assure her that within a few months her hair will grow back just seem to exacerbate the situation. Please allow me to digress.

Gentle Reader, you may have noticed it is hot in July and August near the latitude along the Mason-Dixon Line. Well Peg, who was born in upstate New York, had not quite acclimated to the previous weeks of 100-degree temperatures. Her Joan of Arc length hair tended to stick to her forehead and the back of her neck whenever she lugged water to her owers and her vegetable garden. The martyr-type comparison will make sense by the time you ďŹ nish the column. I was understanding and sympathetic, but my advice that Mother Nature would eventu-

If a recession is when your neighbors lose their jobs but it is a depression when you lose yours, what is the analogy for our society’s losses due to ’Ole 19? Let me suggest that for Peg it was when she ďŹ nally submitted herself to asking me to cut her hair. Yep, it’s complete capitulation; 19 can claim total victory. I should be able to show you photographic proof but it turns out that a wife’s hirsute humiliation is in the same category of bad husbanding as failing to separate the whites and colors for the laundry. No pictures of my artistry were allowed. In fact, Peg has found a new use for the owered bandana she uses as a face mask; it

ally provide rain was not received gladly. She stubbornly persisted and even suggested I could get involved if the TV re-runs of old golf matches didn’t interfere. Surely, we need not revisit that painful discussion.

The real problem is not me but ’Ole 19. Peg used to go to the beauty shop to get her hair cut. Or, when we still lived in Indiana, our daughter, Heather, who is a beautician would take care of it. However, now, as we do not wish to contribute to 19’s macabre statistics, we have socially isolated since our last foray out to eat which was March the 5th. We wear masks, we wash our hands, we ignore our friends and family, we shop online, we eat lots of tuna.

But we both knew the Corona Virus had achieved complete domination when Peg said last week, “Jim, I just

can’t stand this heat and having my hair string down my face and neck.

Nobody but you is ever going to see me again anyway (I thought that a little overly dramatic) so you are going to have to cut it. Come watch these YouTube videos and try to pay attention.�

Well, it didn’t look that hard to me. I remember when I got my hair cut in Pawhuska, Oklahoma by Clyde Ensley or Bob Butts or in Mt. Vernon, Indiana by Steve Burris.

Heck, it appeared about like cleaning a squirrel or a chicken. Just slice here, snip there, shear o the sides.

No problem. After watching for ten minutes or so I was pretty sure I could give Vidal Sassoon a run. “Peg, get a towel and I’ll grab a pair of scissors and the electric clippers you used to use on our dearly de-

parted dog and meet you on the front porch.�

It probably would have turned out better if Peg had not sat as if she were an unfortunate customer of an electric chair and if she hadn’t jumped and squirmed each time the clippers whirred and the scissors snipped. Regardless, in my unbiased opinion I did a ďŹ ne job. If the bowl I used had ďŹ t better it would have helped. I can only guess at Peg’s opinion as she hardly has spoken to me for three days and when she does it is diďŹƒcult to make out what she is saying amid the shrieks, sobs and expletives as she tries to pull her hair back to its former length.

Letter to the Editor Carter grateful for Poseyville To the Editor: There is no doubt this is a very challenging time in history, and although we are seeing the most polarized views elsewhere in our nation, many issues hit close to home. This means emotions are high even in our great community.

Subjects of division are wide spread and cover everything under the sun, from politics to civil unrest and even whether or not we should wear masks. It seems as though there is a new movement or initiative everyday that’s been designed to put us against one another. At times this includes our own friends and family.

Starting today, I encourage each and every one of you to join me in daily prayer for peace and justice to return to our great nation.

Focus on the good. Let’s not allow what we are seeing on our news feeds cause dissension between us.

In the coming months tensions will intensify. My hope is that we can set an example of respect and appreciation while supporting our personal values and beliefs. Rest assured, you will have neighbors and family members who feel dierently than you. But remember,

in this Nation, that’s not only okay, its encouraged. Diering of opinions and the compromises they create for the better good is what has made our great country and state what it is today. Therefore, it should be celebrated. So please, have healthy debates. If your neighbor has a yard sign that stands for something you’re against, talk to them about it. You may learn something, you may not, but maintain that they are your neighbor ďŹ rst and we are a community that cares for one another.

I want to take this opportunity to extend my true appreciation for the compassion and civility shown in our community this far. We have shown time and time again that we can have meaningful conversations, over emotional subjects, while maintaining respect and without resorting to violence. It is an absolute blessing to serve this community. These are the things that we should take true pride in; common respect and love for fellow people, whatever their beliefs are. That is what makes this such a great place to raise our families.

So, on behalf of your Police Department, Thank you.

Poseyville Town Marshal Charles Carter

Guest Column: By Cameral Wright Tips for Going Back to School During COVID-19 Indiana schools are gearing up to return to school this fall, but things are much dierent than years past. While thoughts of returning to school typically include back to school shopping and what teachers the student has, this year has brought additional thoughts of how to keep students safe as we continue to face COVID-19. Many families worry about how they can best prepare for returning to school and stay healthy.

Dr. Cameual Wright, the Medical Director at CareSource, a nonproďŹ t health plan, has a few important tips to share with parents on ways to keep their children safe from COVID-19 when going back to school.

Educate children about masks.

Given the recent mandate, students will be required to wear masks at school until further notice. Parents should be sure to communicate with school oďŹƒcials to understand updated guidelines and current policies. In addition, parents should teach their children how to wear their masks properly. Although it may be diďŹƒcult to ensure that younger children wear their masks as directed, parents should have an age-appropriate conversation about COVID-19 and why masks are important and why they should follow this and other school rules to prevent infection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that children over the age of two wear masks. Parents can visit the CDC mask guidance page

Today is a weepy day for me.

The clock has not yet struck noon and tears have already touched my cheeks numerous times. My daughter and her children have now left Texas. They have arrived at their new home in our nation’s capital.

She and my grandchildren were reunited with my son-in-law after a ďŹ ve-month coronavirus imposed separation. I am so happy for them, yet my heart misses them immensely. My husband is there with them.

He traveled there to help them get everything properly settled. They have been gone for nearly a week.

My husband will y home tonight.

I will drive up to the Texarkana Airport after work and we will go out to dinner before returning home. I can’t wait to see him. I have really missed him.

Being alone this past week has presented a unique opportunity for me to contemplate many things.

Not the least of which has been that of being alone. I have thought of the time my mother has spent over the past 35 years by herself. Although she is not a widow, my father has

for the most updated recommendations for wearing masks.

Encourage proper hygiene.

It is important to teach children proper hygiene at a young age. Parents should prioritize teaching their children about proper handwashing, especially due to the pandemic we are facing. While it is always good practice for children to wash their hands frequently, parents should emphasize the importance of washing their hands as often as possible to avoid transmission of COVID-19. Families should also communicate the importance of covering their mouth with their arm when coughing and sneezing, not touching their face if at all possible, using hand sanitizer when hand washing stations are unavailable, and not touching or sharing personal items with other students.

Keep mental health in mind.

Aside from keeping children safe from an illness like COVID-19, parents should also be checking in on their child’s mental health. The CDC noted children and teens are likely to respond stronger to the stress of the pandemic compared to other age groups. If a parent has a child that is scared about returning to school due to COVID-19 or has other fears surrounding the pandemic, parents should have an age-appropriate conversation with their child about COVID-19 including what it is, what it means for them and how to protect themselves. Parents

should always be honest about the topic and reassure them that everyone, including doctors, scientists, principals and teachers, have their best interest at hand.

The situation can be stressful for children, and parents need to be sure that their children are ďŹ nding a way to enjoy themselves during these times. They should ensure their children are taking time to do things they enjoy and that they are showing their child extra attention and love.

Stay on track with well-child visits and vaccinations.

It is essential that children stay on schedule with their yearly well-child visit. Even though it is a pandemic, it is vital that children continue these visits to preserve their overall health.

While in-person opportunities for well-child visits may be limited, CareSource, among many other providers, oers telehealth as a safe option to complete the visit.

As Indiana sees a serious decline in vaccinations in Indiana, it is crucial that parents keep their children up to date on vaccinations. In May alone, the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) reported 137,000 fewer doses which equates to a 46.61% decrease. The CDC recommends that children stay on schedule with their vaccines during the pandemic and even shared strategies to get back onto a vaccination schedule on their website. If a parent has questions about in-person vaccination opportunities, they should consult their care provider.

Missing Michael chosen to spend his time elsewhere.

My mother has chosen to spend her time alone. She has suered greatly because of her decision. Her health physically and mentally has deteriorated at warp speed. Her cognitive skills and quality of life are signiďŹ cantly diminished and her children worry that her life span has been shortened due to her great heartache.

Likewise, my son-in-law suffered greatly during the ďŹ ve months of quarantine imposed upon him through his military transfer freeze.

During that time, his household goods were taken away from him, yet he was mandated to remain within the conďŹ nes of an empty house. His children and wife could not survive without furniture, pots and pans, clothing, or food, so my husband and I brought them to Texas to stay with us. Unfortunately, as Hawaii was under total lockdown, my son-in-law remained alone, without even a TV for entertainment for ďŹ ve months. In my opinion, being locked down under such circumstances, without companionship, entertainment, nor any other type of stimulation, can cause health risks as well.

I have been home by myself since Sunday. Today is Thursday.

Ph. 812-682-3950 PO Box 397 • 606B Main Street New Harmony, IN 47631 Fax 812-682-3944 www.poseycountynews.com

I have had my i-pad, my i-phone, six open funeral cases, my funeral home sta, my smart TV, and my lap poodle to keep me company.

These past ďŹ ve days have seemed like an eternity of emptiness to me.

My appetite has suered, of course, that is a positive, but everything that brings me joy is suspended.

At night, after everyone has gone home, I sit by myself, wondering what to do. I have no one to chat with, no one to laugh with, no one to interact with. I have contemplated this extensively and I have realized that to me, what matters in life, are the people I love, not the things around me. I don’t care about expensive cars or clothes. I don’t care about going out to expensive restaurants, or the theatre. I don’t need an expensive vacation at a theme park, to y over to Europe, or go to the beach. What I need are my family and a few close friends. That’s it for me.

So what do I do if I come to a place in life where I’m alone for more than ďŹ ve days? What if I ďŹ nd that I have to keep myself company for ďŹ ve months, or heaven forbid, thirty-ďŹ ve years like my mother?

I don’t know that I could survive that.

I have friends who are widows.

Some of them have been alone between ďŹ ve months and ďŹ ve years.

Others, between ďŹ ve years and thirty-ďŹ ve years. Some are beyond that mark. How have they survived?

How have they adapted?

It is interesting. I have spoken with many of my widowed friends.

Each of them says the same thing to me when I ask them about this.

They say that they don’t want to go through life single and alone; neither do they want to remarry. It seems that they feel that remarrying would disrespect their original marriage, however, they understand that to not be alone, they need to remarry. It seems a catch twenty-two and as time goes by, remarriage never materializes for them. Each has ďŹ lled their lives with activities for assisting others; mainly those in need, their children, or their grandchildren, also volunteering. Nothing at all wrong with that. If you think about it, that’s sort of what we do as a married couple as we age.

Our lives move toward assisting others, or spending time with others once we retire. Mainly, because we have extra time on our hands.

We spend time with our children and grandchildren, helping out at the rec centers in our neighborhoods, or church, volunteering at

the hospitals, nursing homes, senior centers, or at other places. Life has its patterns whether we are married or single. I, for one, prefer it being married.

It is important to realize that when we are faced with time alone, especially when it is going to be a permanent or potentially permanent situation, we need to make accommodations for it. To successfully adjust to solitude or grief, we must give of ourselves. We must serve others. We cannot sit night after night watching TV or surďŹ ng our i-pads or smartphones for entertainment. FulďŹ llment is not obtained through the things we buy or do for ourselves, it is received by doing things and giving of ourselves to others.

Walter Ishmael Gamblin Jr. Samuel Floyd McDaniel Samuel Floyd McDaniel passed away in his home on July 23, 2020, surrounded by family and 57 Chevys. A hard worker, life-long tinkerer, and possibly the world’s biggest fan of 57 Chevys, Sam was humble, full of funny and often clever phrases, quite stubborn at times, and loved by all. Together with his wife Linda Gail (Rainey) of almost 59 years, they raised three strong-willed daughters. He was Papaw to six grandkids and nine great grandkids, who he loved dearly.

Sam was born “in the hills of Tennessee”, as he called it, to Charles and Bertha (Love) McDaniel on October 1, 1939. Sam had six brothers and seven sisters. The family moved from Harriman, Tenn., to Southern Indiana in 1950. In 1959, Sam was stationed in Seoul, South Korea under the 553rd Engineering Company, where he worked as an ambulance mechanic and driver.

While in the Army, he received an Expert Carbine Badge, a Marksman Rifle Badge, and a Mechanic Badge.

While on a visit back home, it was a stop at the local Dog n Suds restaurant that would change everything. Linda skated into his life and Sam knew right away that she was the one for him.

Two months later, they were married. In their many years together, they always enjoyed having kids around and selflessly raised more than just their own daughters. One of their favorite things to do together was camping, which they did almost every weekend.

After his time in the service, Sam was employed by ADM for 16 years before

moving on to GE. He retired from GE in 2002 after 25 years. He was a hardworking man and always took pride in his work.

He spent most of his retirement (and many years prior to) working on his beloved 57 Chevy. He was always tinkering in the garage and there probably wasn’t a single car in the entire family that he hadn’t worked on.

Sam is survived by his wife, Linda; siblings, Helen Webb, Charlie McDaniel, Mary Francis Watts, Dorothy Onkst, and Thurman McDaniel; daughters, Leanna (Gary) Mourer, Rhonda (Eric) Wolf, and Lisa (Bryan) Steele; five grandchildren, Angela Mourer, Kristan Mourer, Alex (Maria) Mourer, Sam Turpen, and Brionn Wolf; and nine great-grandchildren.

In addition to his parents, Sam is preceded in death by his granddaughter, Tori Lee Turpen, and siblings, Edna McDaniel, Margaret McDaniel, Arthur McDaniel, J.C. McDaniel, Wanda Blansberg, George McDaniel, Shirley Bradshaw, and Raymond McDaniel.

A Memorial service will be private. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to the United Way of Posey County are appreciated.

Walter “Wally” Ishmael Gamblin, Jr., 74, of Evansville, died peacefully at his home on July 29, 2020. Walter was born in Evansville, Indiana, on April 29, 1946, to Walter and Dorothy (Nevill) Gamblin.

He attended Decatur Central High School and was a U.S. Army veteran. Walter was a lifetime Green Bay Packers fan, a carpenter and enjoyed trap shooting, gardening, and puzzles.

Surviving is his wife: Jolene “Jo” (Spicer) Gamblin, son: Brian Gamblin of Evansville, Ind; brother: Alvin (Sissy) of Wadesville, Indiana; sister: Marcia (Roger) Jones of Mount Vernon, Indiana; Grandchildren: Mayce Ritchie and Hannah Murphy; many nieces and nephews and his faithful dog Olivia.

Old time bathing

D

M

B C

P Madeleine, my friend, Carolyn Roberts, and I were discussing an old photo I posted recently. I recall the day it was taken; almost fifty years ago. A small group of young mothers and their children were enjoying the cool water of a “kiddie� pool. We were wondering who actually snapped this photo. I am not sure.

We have seemingly unimportant afternoons like this in the course of our lives. Never would we have thought we would look at the photo after all of these years and think about it.

I always think this is the main importance of photos. They make us look back. Sure, it is fun to look at them right away, but freezing times like that afternoon is the best reason to take them.

I was also reminded of another

hot afternoon a few decades earlier. In those times, a large galvanized washtub was one of the most important household items that people owned.

It wasn’t unusual for the whole family to get their “Saturday night bath� in one of these. As I stepped into my shower today, I was reminded of those times. Our simple shower doesn’t compare with many more sophisticated models now available.

So, Madeleine, like many of the subjects I write about, I have seen unbelievable advancements in bathing. I am sure that other folks in my generation can recall bathing in the big old tubs. I lived in a country home with no indoor plumbing.

Yes, it was inconvenient, in all too many ways. Bath time started with covering the kitchen floor with newspapers to catch the drips.

The old metal teakettle heated water on the same stove we cooked

on. It took several times to get enough hot water.

It was usually necessary to add more hot water, because 2 or three of us quickly bathed. I was the first, and grandpa came last. After he was finished, he had to bail out buckets of the very used sudsy water and dump it outside.

In between these baths, we depended on a nightly sponge bath, using a small washpan. When I was little, my mother sat me up on the old kitchen table and sponged me down.

When my own children were growing up, they got a lot of quick sink bathings. During all of these, we turned on a small electric heater to warm the room.

Madeleine, you may recall me talking about the grave of a young girl in Liberty Cemetery, who was electrocuted by one of these heaters, falling into the water. I have always felt really badly for this poor child. I have spoken over her

little grave many times in the past seventy years.

Summertime was always easier to do baths. Those big tubs had still another use then. It was our version of a backyard pool. I am glad someone took photos of me enjoying one of those days. I actually do recall that afternoon.

Having grown up with this primitive mode of getting a bath, I thought it was great to have the little bathtub in our first married apartment. When Don came home after a long day of sweaty summer work, he couldn’t wait to run a warm bath.

This is just one of the memories from living in that upstairs apartment for the first three years we were together. Young people from today don’t have memories of the lean years of struggle and living in a simple way. I actually think that this is an important part of life and it is a shame so many modern couples will never understand.

On those hot summer nights, we relied on a big window fan. It was several years later, in the home we built on Church Street, when we put in central air. Both bedrooms had window fans, and we hung curtains in the hall to keep the cool air inside those two rooms.

One of my favorite summer memories in those years was sitting out on our back step, watching a distant storm approaching. Both of my baby boys had been in the bathtub, and had that wonderful clean baby smell. I had put them into their little seersucker jammies.

This generation will never have great lasting memories like that one.

I probably have a strange faraway look on my face sometimes, talking to my adult sons. I frequently picture them small again, fresh-faced little guys in their jammies. The bittersweet winds of life has blown this time away, but I will never forget it.

Gun thefts lead to charges

Williams Special to the News Posey County Sheriff Tom Latham says on July 27, 2020 Posey County Deputies received a tip in reference to stolen firearms being in the possession of a juvenile living in Eastern Posey County.

Posey County Detective Dustin Seitz went to the residence and spoke with the juvenile at their home and recovered a handgun and a shotgun that were reported stolen from a residence on Copperline Road in Posey County. Seitz took the juvenile into custody where he was detained at the Youth Care Center in Evansville, Ind. pending formal charges by the Posey County Prosecutors office of Burglary a level 5 felony and Theft of a Firearm a level 6 felony.

On July 29, 2020, Detec-

Sales tive Kyle Reidford interviewed the juvenile once again and obtained further information in the case. The juvenile stated three other adult suspects also took part in the burglary. Seitz and Reidford interviewed 18-year-old Mackenzie Floyd of Mount Vernon, who admitted to being inside the residence at the time of the burglary, however, she did not know the location of the firearms. Later in the evening of July 29, 2020, Seitz and Reidford interviewed 21-year-old Blake Sales of Mount Vernon and 18-year-old Jakab Williams of Mount Vernon. Both admittted that they along with Mackenzie Floyd broke into a home on Copperline Road with the intent to steal firearms from the home.

Sales, Williams, and Floyd all made initial court appearances in Posey Circuit Court on Friday, July 31, 2020.

IPAC saddened by death The Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys Council is devastated to learn of the passing of Floyd County Prosecutor Keith Henderson.

An elected prosecutor in two different southern Indiana counties, Henderson was also a vital resource for IPAC, serving on the Board of Directors, representing IPAC at national events and teaching at many IPAC conferences and trainings over the years. He will be dearly missed.

Henderson is a former state trooper who served as first sergeant and legal adviser for the Indiana State Police. He was appointed to Prosecutor in Crawford County on March 13, 1998 and elected to a full term the following November. In 2002, Henderson was elected as Floyd County Prosecutor and he has served in that office ever since, winning re-election in 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018.

In addition to serving the Floyd County community for 17 years, Henderson was heavily involved in IPAC trainings and

leadership. He was a long time member of the Board of Directors and served as Board Chairman from 2007-2008. He also served on the IPAC Executive Committee, was former Chair of the IPAC Ethics Committee and was a past member of the Indiana Supreme Court Rules Committee.

In 2010, Henderson was selected by his peers to serve as the Indiana representative to the National District Attorneys Association, a position he held until 2018. He was very involved in the Floyd County community and was a frequent presenter at law enforcement agencies throughout southern Indiana.

“We are deeply saddened over the loss of one of our own and our prayers are with Keith’s family, his friends and his co-workers,” said IPAC Executive Director Chris Naylor. “Keith was a lifelong servant dedicated to protecting our communities and he gave his all to help others in Floyd County and across the state of Indiana.”

Financial Focus How Can You Help Lower Your Longevity Risk?

The investment world contains different types of risk. Your stocks or stock-based mutual funds could lose value during periods of market volatility. The price of your bonds or bond funds could also decline, if new bonds are issued at higher interest rates. But have you ever thought about longevity risk?

Insurance companies and pension funds view longevity risk as the risk they incur when their assumptions about life expectancies and mortality rates are incorrect, leading to higher payout levels. But for you, as an individual investor, longevity risk is less technical and more emotional: it’s the risk of outliving your money.

To assess your own longevity risk, you’ll first want to make an educated guess about your life span, based on your health and family history. Plus, you’ve got some statistics to consider: Women who turned 65 in April of this year can expect to live, on average, until age 86.5; for men, the corresponding figure is 84, according to the Social Security Administration.

Once you have a reasonable estimate of the number of years that lie ahead, you’ll want to take steps to reduce your longevity risk. For starters, try to build your financial resources as much as possible, because the greater your level of assets, the lower the risk of outliving them. So, during your working years, keep contributing to your IRA and your 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored retirement plan.

Then, as you near retirement, you will need to do some planning. Specifically, you will need to compare your essential living expenses – mortgage/rent, utilities, food, clothing, etc. – with the amount of income you’ll get from guaranteed sources, such as Social Security or pensions. You do have some flexibility with this guaranteed income pool. For example, you can file for Social Security benefits as early as 62, but your monthly checks will then be reduced by about 30 percent from what you’d receive if you waited until your full retirement age, which is likely between 66 and 67.

You might also consider other investments that can provide you with a steady income stream. A financial professional can help you choose the income-producing investments that are appropriate for your needs and that fit well with the rest of your portfolio.

After you’ve determined that your guaranteed income will be sufficient to meet your essential living expenses, have you eliminated longevity risk? Not necessarily – because “essential” expenses don’t include unexpected costs, of which there may be many, such as costly home maintenance, auto repairs and so on. And during your retirement years, you’ll always need to be aware of health care costs. If you have to dip into your guaranteed income sources to pay for these types of bills, you might increase the risk of outliving your money.

To avoid this scenario, you may want to establish a separate fund, possibly containing at least a year’s worth of living expenses, with the money held in cash or cash equivalents. This money won’t grow much, if at all, but it will be there for you when you need it.

With careful planning, adequate guaranteed income, a sufficient emergency fund and enough other investments to handle nonessential costs, you’ll be doing what you can to reduce your own longevity risk. And that may lead to a more enjoyable retirement.

Faculty in Indiana now have more time to complete requirements in order to continue teaching dual credit courses, says the Indiana Commission for Higher Education (Commission).

In light of the impact of COVID-19, the Commission requested in May that regional college accreditor Higher Learning Commission (HLC) extend the deadline for dual credit instructors to hold a master’s degree and at least 18 credit hours in the content area in which they teach.

The HLC Board of Trustees voted this week to extend the deadline by one year – to 2023 – allowing faculty to have more time to earn the required credentials. In June 2015, HLC issued a policy change putting the instructor requirements into place. Indiana’s Dual Credit Advisory Council analyzed dual credit policies and explored potential solutions to maintain dual credit options for Hoosier students. Indiana Higher Education Commissioner Teresa Lubbers and Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Jennifer McCormick serve on the Dual Credit Advisory Council.

“This spring, Indiana’s dual credit educators shifted their focus to providing highquality instruction online.

This extension allows our educators and institutions more time to meet the requirements to ensure equitable dual credit opportunities provided by qualified instructors,” said Lubbers.

Indiana has made strides to ensure dual credit instructors meet guidelines put into place by the HLC in 2015.

Since that time, the Commission, the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) and the state’s higher education institutions have taken steps to increase the number of dual credit instructors meet the qualifications.

Throughout the past four years, the Commission has invested nearly $10 million in STEM dual credit teacher credentialing. IDOE and the Indiana University Foundation have also each awarded funding to increase the number of qualified dual credit instructors in Indiana.

“During these trying times, it is as important as ever to ensure rigorous and purposeful programming for Hoosier students,” said State Superintendent Dr. Jennifer McCormick. “This granted extension will allow the flexibility needed for teachers to serve students while continuing the process of credentialing and providing cost savings to families.”

THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS - PAGE A7

‘New Harmony’ continued from Page A1 report to directly. It was unanimously decided that the local review committee to award the grant money from among the applicants will be comprised of three, non-business owning residents and two members of the town council.

Wade recommended the town purchase an electric disinfectant fogger, after doing some research on them. It is hoped the town will be reimbursed for the fogger through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Grant. Councilman Williams made a motion that one electric and one battery powered fogger be purchased, but it died for lack of a second. Wade made and Virginia Alsop seconded a motion that one electric fogger be purchased, at an approximate cost of $500. That motion carried with all in favor. Wade will talk to the Posey County Health Department regarding the type of disinfectant to purchase for it.

Blaylock reported council held a special meeting and agreed to purchase two signs to place at both town entrances advising people that face coverings are highly recommended. Wade said he was unable to attend the meeting where it was agreed to buy the two signs, and expressed the opinion more signs are needed. He thinks 20 to 25 signs should be purchased. It is hoped the town will be reimbursed for the signs through the CARES grant for these, too.

President Blaylock stated he does not think the signs will be effective, as people know face coverings are recommended, but people make their own choice whether to wear them or not.

Williams noted most businesses and venues in the community have already posted their own signs. He asked if there is a plan on where the signs should be placed, to which Wade replied there is not. After discussion, Councilman Wade made and Alsop seconded a motion that 20 to 25 signs be purchased to remind people that masks are recommended. The signs will be approximately 18 inches by 24 inches. These signs will remain up until numbers start decreasing and things look better than they do now. All were in favor and the motion carried.

Dan Mason, Assistant Director of Historic New Harmony, offered his assistance on the wording on the signs. He would like there to be consistent, welcoming language. He also mentioned signs could be placed on the light poles downtown, such as has

been done for the Farmer’s Market. Councilors Alsop and Wade agreed to work with Mason on the sign content.

In other town council action: --The bid for Community Crossings Matching Grant 2020-1 was unanimously awarded to the low bidder, David Enterprises, Inc. in the amount of $72,479. Blaylock stated Community Crossings Matching Grant 2020-2 has been delayed.

--Williams reported tree work has been completed at Maple Hill Cemetery, while Councilman Wade reported there is a broken handrail at the cemetery.

-- Blaylock announced the water tank inspection was completed on July 18.

--Dan Mason reported many Historic New Harmony events and programs are being done virtually. Mason introduced Candice Croix, who recently joined Indiana Landmarks.

--Blaylock acknowledged and thanked David and Karen Vonderscher for their donation of a bench for Murphy Park.

--Wade made and Councilwoman Alsop seconded a motion that a letter be sent to the property owner at 601 South Street, due to high weeds. All were in favor, except Councilman Williams, but the motion carried.

--Under Legals, Blaylock read Ordinance 2020-4 in full. This ordinance changes the Town’s current policy regarding renters, and was necessitated by a change in state law. If a renter skips town without paying utilities, it will no longer be the property owner’s responsibility to pay the outstanding bill. Wade made and Williams seconded a motion the ordinance be adopted. All were in favor, except Alsop, who abstained, due to her owning rental property. For this reason, the motion failed. Upon the recommendation of Attorney Erin Bauer, the ordinance will be up for second reading at the August meeting, due to the vote not being unanimous to adopt the ordinance on first reading.

--Blaylock reported he has been working on getting mill ditch cleaned out. This was last done in 1999. This will alleviate some of the flooding on New Harmony’s southeast end, due to heavy

‘Droege’ continued from Page A1 land to neighboring farmers, who continue to do their best to prevent as much soil erosion as possible, on the farm at the corner of Copperline and Dutchman roads.

Jim married Carol Jo in 1977 and she worked off the farm as an accountant until retiring in 2014.Together, they raised three children, who are married. They are Samuel (Leslie) Lawrence, Christine (Tyler) Watson, and Michael (Debra) Droege. They have two grandchildren to spend time with in their retirement.

In his letter of support for the award, Hans Schmitz wrote that he has looked up to Jim as a hardworking farmer with a healthy interest in other things, since he first started visiting the Droege farm to hang out with Jim’s son, his friend. “Daylight would see Jim out of the house to the farm office, whereupon farm chores with the grain operation, feeding pigs, doing his own taxes for the operation or a number of other things would be completed,” Schmitz says.

“Upon day’s end, Jim would either take off to a meeting with the myriad of community organizations with which he volunteered, or a book would enter his hand, usually a biography of a founding father or Revolutionary War leader. His work ethic was only eclipsed by this thirst for knowledge. Jim Droege served as an excellent adult role model in my youth.”

The nominator wrote that his admiration of Droege’s work ethic continues today. “I regularly speak with Jim due to his service on the county Farm Bureau board, the soil and water conservation district and other entities,” Schmitz continued “When

a local TV newsperson contacts me looking for a farmer interview, Jim is my first contact.

We communicate consistently on new county ag statistics and crop conditions, ensuring we have consistent messaging to the community about agriculture in Posey County.”

Mark and Sheryl Ann Seib of Poseyville work alongside Jim in various groups, especially the Posey County Farm Bureau, Inc., and they wrote in support of the award. The Seibs said, “He is a kind and caring individual who is quick to put others before himself and he works tirelessly to make the community a better place to live.” Jim has volunteered countless hours toward soil and water conservation efforts, including spending two years as President of the Indiana Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts in 2007 and 2008. He is presently immediate past-president of the Posey County Farm Bureau, Inc. One of the ways the Droeges serve their community is through Partners in Food, an organization that raises money to buy and process hogs and cattle for donation to local food pantries.

Jim is one of the original four founding members. “Jim serves as spokesperson for Partners in Food,” Marvin Redman wrote, “Each year we hold an appreciation /informational meal where Jim serves as emcee and keynote speaker, sharing the stage with reports from all the food banks in southwest Indiana served that year.”

Both Droeges are active in their local church, the Zion Lippe United Church of Christ.

--A festival application for the Armstrong Recreation Center Jeep/UTV ride was denied.

--It was voted that council members’ phone numbers are to be removed from the town website.

--Wade asked that councilors review the town’s fireworks regulations and be prepared to discuss them at the next meeting. He feels the ordinance needs to be amended. He also noted that the town council has previously discussed giving raises to employees when licenses are obtained. He would like to put a definite plan in writing as an incentive. The next meeting is slated for Tuesday, August 18 at 8:30 a.m. in the Town Hall.

The district is offering virtual learning solely for students with medical needs, and some students have applied. Other students have informed the district that they will not be attending in-class learning, but will be using an online program provided by the State of Indiana.

nounced there was a very large vessel docked at the boat dock this morning, and the gentleman owner was very impressed with the new dock, and the city riverfront. Mayor Curtis added he received a call from the owner this morning at 8 a.m. that was very complimentary of the riverfront and the dock; as well as of Dieterle, who arose at 5 a.m. to help them with the boat sendoff.

--Board member Hoehn thanked Commissioner Dieterle for getting the semi traffic sign up and working so hard on the riverfront and the dock. He commented on the increase in boat traffic this summer, which is good for Mount Vernon’s economy, as boaters are buying gas here, snacks, and food. “It is a good thing for the city,” he expressed. Mayor Curtis also recognized those folks who keep the area looking so nice, and take care of the flowers.

--Utilities Superintendent Chuck Gray reported his department has flushed 8,545 feet of main since the last meeting.

As for the Eighth Street Water Main Project, he received a second water sample back yesterday, so he can begin to tie on to the new main. Paving should be completed in the next couple of weeks from Fourth Street to the railroad tracks as a result.

--In Mayor’s Announcements, Mayor Curtis talked with the engineer and the bid packets on the Tresslar Building demo are moving forward and should be ready within the four week timeframe that was projected.

He is still getting information on upgrading the phone system and the computers. He is also getting more estimates on new doors for the Clerk-Treasurer and Mayor’s Offices to keep visitors from walking right into the office to ensure safety. He concluded his report with the news that the small business grant will be submitted tomorrow and they should know in about three weeks if the city was successful.

Hoosier writers make Glick shortlist

The Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana Authors Awards is announcing the shortlisted books in the children’s category of the revamped award program today. Shortlists for additional categories will be announced on social media, by category, daily at 10 a.m. over the next six days. Winners of the awards will be announced Sept. 1.

The shortlists represent work by more than 30 writers with Hoosier roots in the following categories: children’s, young adult, poetry, genre, emerging, fiction and nonfiction. Each category winner will receive a $5,000 cash prize, a handcrafted limestone award and the opportunity to make a $500 donation to an Indiana library of their choice.

The shortlist in the children’s category for the 2020 Indiana Authors Awards follows.

Crystal Allen, who grew up on a farm near New Albany and now lives in Texas, for The Magnificent Mya Tibbs: Mya in the Middle, which chronicles the hilarious hijinks of a Black 4th grader trying to stand out from the crowd; John David Anderson, Indianapolis, for Granted, the tale of a fairy on her first wish-granting day; Gabrielle Balkan, who grew up in Indianapolis and now lives in Brooklyn, for her Book of Flight, a beautifully illustrated book of birds, animals and insects, explaining how they fly; Skila Brown, Bloomington, for Clackety Track: Poems About Trains, a charming book of poems about trains; Troy Cummings, Greencastle, for Can I Be Your Dog?, a sweet tale of a dog trying to find a forever home; Helen Frost, Fort Wayne, for Hello, I’m Here!, the story of a newborn sandhill crane starting out in the world; Michael Homoya, Shane Gibson and Gillian Harris, of central and southern Indiana, for Wake Up, Woods, a gorgeously illustrated book of Indiana wildflowers and native plants; and Phillip Hoose, who was born in South Bend and spent his childhood in Angola and Speedway, for Attucks!

The nominee rollout is part of the new format for the prestigious awards, designed by Indiana Humanities with support from Glick Philanthropies. Follow the announcements on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram @INAuthorsAwards.

“These writers and many, many others add to the storied literary heritage of not only Indiana, but the Midwest,” said Keira Amstutz, Indiana Humanities president and CEO. “These awards will help make sure Hoosiers and the rest of the nation are aware of these talented authors and of our state’s literary prowess.”

Shortlisted books were written by lifelong Hoosiers, professors at Indiana colleges and universities, former residents and others with a deep connection to Indiana.

The shortlists feature stories about life in Indiana, nature and interesting people. At turns whimsical and serious, funny and haunting, the shortlist honorees address pressing topics such as race, immigration, teen pregnancy and suicide as well as otherworldly fare such as fairies, airships and voodoo.

“In other words, the inaugural shorted books represent the incredible breadth and depth of talent, ideas and imagination that this place—our place—evokes in writers,” Amstutz said.

Colorful WMI photo album linked to Sylvia Recently examined at the Working Men’s Institute is a 19th century photo album, that once belonged to Frances Sylva d’Arusmont, daughter of Fanny Wright, a well-known abolitionist, exponent of women’s rights, and social reformer.

This album is covered in red leather and has one brass clasp for securing when closed. Made to house Cartes de visite, the album’s 24 pages can hold a total of 48 photographs.

Cartes de visite, or CdVs, were invented in France in 1851 and became popular in the United States around 1860. A CdV consists of a small albumen print which is then mounted on a thick paper card, which measures about 2.5 inches by 4 inches.

In the 1860s, there was a craze called “cardomania” in which people collected and traded such photos. They were popular among Civil War soldiers who could inexpensively have their pictures taken to send home. Cartes were made depicting prominent people, like President Abraham Lincoln and Emperor Napoleon III. They are all the same size so albums like this one became popular. Cartes de visite were frequently traded among friends and visitors, hence the translation “visiting card.”

The album contains photos of family and friends, as de-

termined from inscriptions written on the backs of some of the cards. A few even have the printed information of the photographer or studio where they were originally produced.

Unfortunately, in this album and others we have cataloged, many cards have no identification at all. There is often no information written on the pages in the album, to identify the photos, who they depict, when the photo was taken, or where. Sometimes the only information is written on the backs of the photos. Occasionally, there is not even that.

In the first four photos in this album, Frances Sylva silently spelled out her social views. The first picture is of Abraham Lincoln, the second and third depict abolitionists Frederick Douglass and John Brown, and the fourth image is of Lucretia Mott, a champion of women’s rights and also a strong opponent of slavery.

On the back of the Frederick Douglass photo is handwritten “Fred Douglass/Presented to Frances Sylva d’Arusmont.”

This card, and others in this album, provide the clear link to Frances Sylva.

Frances Sylva married William Eugene Guthrie in about 1865. It was their son Kenneth Guthrie who donated the album to the Working Men’s Institute in 1903, just after Frances Sylva passed away.

New Harmony Gallery receives Indiana Arts Commission grant New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art (NHGCA) was awarded a grant from the Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) to help fund exhibitions for the 2021 Fiscal year.

The Commission approved grant allocations totaling more than $2.8 million in state and federal funds for grants and programs provided by arts organizations and cultural providers that prioritize community engagement throughout the state.

The gallery was one of 382 community-based arts providers throughout Indiana to receive grants for Fiscal Year 2021.

Arts Organization Support provides annual operating funding for the ongoing artistic and administrative expenses of nonprofit arts organizations. Arts Project Support provides funding for one-time events like festivals, exhibits or workshops. Together, these programs represent a broad range of arts disciplines and geographic reach. In FY 2019, recipients of AOS and APS grants together served all 92 counties in Indiana.

“This funding is crucial to sustaining the operations of arts organizations, which is a significant source of economic prosperity in Indiana,” said Lewis Ricci, IAC Executive Director.

“We know that these organizations have been heavily impacted by the pandemic, and this funding will help them weather the storm as they continue to adapt to this new normal and create safe, meaningful experiences for Hoosiers.”

The New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art provides a not-for-profit (non-commercial) exhibition space for current Midwestern artists and promotes discourse about and access to contemporary art in the southern Indiana region. Since its inception in 1975, New Harmony Gallery has provided an exhibition space for young and mid-career artists to show their work in a professional setting; and further, to provide a venue for contemporary art to the general public. The cornerstone of the Gallery’s mission is education and access through a carefully planned series of seven exhibitions per year. The exhibition series, which explores contemporary art concepts, is intended to provide increased opportunity for artists and the public to engage in discourse on and about the arts and culture.

“We are thrilled to receive this grant from the Indiana Arts Commission and appreciate their support. The New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art is an integral part of the community and region and this funding will allow us to host a

Census replies critical, due by October 31 According to State Reps.

Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville) and Matt Hostettler (RFort Branch), 2020 Census responses are critical to future federal funding in local communities, and Hoosiers should respond now if they have not already done so.

Door-to-door visits are beginning in some areas around the country to remind residents to complete their 2020 Census forms. McNamara said Indiana is currently tied for tenth in the nation for response rate, with nearly two-thirds of Hoosier census forms submitted.

“The data collected from the census helps communities receive essential funding based on population,” McNamara said. “It takes just a few minutes to answer online, and Hoosiers who haven’t done so are encouraged to submit their responses as soon as possible.”

McNamara encourages residents to visit 2020census.gov to fill out the census online.

Hoosiers can also call 844-3302020 or mail back the questionnaire sent to households.

Census takers will begin visiting nonresponding households starting July 23 to ensure every resident is counted. Hostettler said a number of households still need to respond from the following counties: Gibson County, 33 percent; Posey, 31 percent; and Vanderburgh, 34 percent.

Census workers will wear masks and follow local public health guidelines when they visit households. All census takers complete a virtual COVID-19 training on social distancing, and other health and safety protocols before beginning their work in neighborhoods.

“The census is collected every 10 years and everyone is required to complete it,” Hostettler said. “The information we provide helps fund our communities, schools, hospitals and first responders. These are essential entities and we need the most funding for them to continue educating, healing and keeping Hoosiers safe.”

According to Hostettler, billions of dollars in federal funding to support education, housing, health and public safety are on the line as this data impacts strategic planning decisions about statewide job training, locations of new businesses and public transportation projects.

Self-responses are due by Oct. 31, 2020.

Hans Schmitz, PC Purdue Extension Educator Mystery Seeds in the Mail People in Indiana have been reporting the receipt of packages containing unidentiďŹ ed plant seeds. These seeds seem to be coming from a Chinese source, according to the shipping labels, and the occurrence is not restricted to Indiana. Although those received last week were likely a single occurrence, the manner in which they appeared is common enough to post a reminder about receiving any biological material in the mail.

Anytime a package from an unknown source is received, always be suspicious and open carefully. Retain the original packaging. If the item received is an unknown substance, packaging information should contain at least a source address which can be investigated for further information. In the case of seeds, the Indiana State Seed Commissioner regulates interstate traďŹƒcking of seed material. For other plant material, the

Division of Entomology and Plant Pathology (DEPP) at the Indiana Department of Natural Resources takes notice. The Indiana Board of Animal Health regulates movement of animal material. However, the international nature of this particular source, and the multistate destinations of the seed, turns the issue into a federal matter. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service takes precedent with mystery seeds from China.

Those who received the seed last week were eventually instructed to put the seeds and packaging in a plastic bag and send to Nick Johnson at APHIS, 3059 N Morton St., Franklin, IN 46131. Knowing the cost and time involved with such an endeavor, the Division of Entomology and Plant Pathology can also be contacted for seed pickup at 866-663-9684. Angela Rust out of the Tell City oďŹƒce is the inspector in this area

that will work with recipients for pick up.

If seed is received, one should never plant it. Additionally, one should not throw the seed away. If neither of the above transfer options seem feasible, contact the Posey County Purdue Extension OďŹƒce. We can arrange for alternate, even anonymous, pick-up. The likelihood of seed viability and germination in a landďŹ ll is not zero. Throwing seed away is not an option. If seed were already planted, one should still call the DEPP. Rust will come take plants and the appropriate amount of soil to prevent any potential root material from remaining.

Multiple sources have conjectured that this seed might be part of a brushing scheme. In brushing, a hacker gains access to an online buyer’s proďŹ le and places an order for one of their own products, seed in this case. The price of the product can be made $0 to avoid appearing on credit card

statements. The seed is then sent to the recipient, with the hacker watching the progress from the stolen online proďŹ le. Once the product arrives, the hacker leaves a glowing review of the product. These positive reviews then coerce others into willingly paying for the product. To be safe, anyone receiving unknown seed should check any online marketplaces to ensure their data is secure. Even if no breach is found, a password change would be recommended.

Although this mailing is seemingly innocuous, the potential for the seeds to be of invasive or poisonous nature exists. At the very most malicious, the post 9/11 world focused many resources for a time on agroterrorism. The introduction of foreign species to ultimately harm agricultural production cannot be completely overlooked. For more information on seed issues, contact Hans at hschmitz@purdue.edu or 812-838-1331.

Virtual 4-H Fair like no other, improvements set for grounds

By Lois Mittino Gray “Well, it was kind of sad for me. It just wasn’t the same and it was so different. I didn’t get to show my animals and projects in person like normal and see my friends. It’s usually such a good time.” 4-H’er Jacob Wiley said wistfully.

The New Harmony native has been showing his pigs and entering a project in the Recycling category for each of the past ten years at the annual Posey County 4-H Fair. Now in his last year of eligibility, the graduating senior had to enter his two categories all online in the county virtual 4-H fair that served as a substitute for the real deal in these COVID pandemic days.

“The good news is that I did the best I’ve ever done in ten years in the Recycling category. I won Reserve Grand Champion and my project will go on to compete in the Virtual State Fair contest.” Jacob made a bench out of old pieces of plywood, left over from a house build, that his mom wants to use at the family’s lake house in Kentucky. All his pigs won blue ribbons.

“I know it was hard on the kids and the judges to do the fair entries all online from picture submissions. It’s just not the same for the judges to look at the animals, for example, and not be able to touch them and observe them from all angles. The kids miss all the camaraderie and fun of being together. It just wasn’t the same,” observed Cheven May, Purdue Extension Educator and 4-H Youth Development Agent, who was in charge of the virtual fair entries.

“We had about half the usual number of entries this year, and I actually thought there would be fewer than that. We usually get from 1200 to 1500 projects a year and we had 524 submitted virtually this fair. It is better than I expected,” May said. “Some chose to not enter this one and save their projects for next year.”

The Youth Director sent online entries on to the judges who were “very cooperative in trying to judge virtually.” All the judges were veterans of past fairs, except for one new one. They worked to give students feedback on their entries.

These forms are now available for pickup by 4-H’ers, along with any banners, ribbons, or monetary awards that were won.

Judging from the online entry database took five days, instead of just one. “It was a really long week. It was a lot more sitting in front of a computer than I like. At least my office was air-conditioned, but I would’ve gladly traded that comfort and suffer through one hot summer day at the fair-

grounds, running the contest interviews and judging,” she mused.

There were a few computer glitches in submitting entries and she said two families were affected. “We tried to make it as much like a real fair as we could and tried to be close to the expected. I sure hope this all gets back to normal next year. It was so hard. ” May remarked.

While the Posey County 4-H Council was in charge of pulling off the virtual fair and its entries, a separate entity, the Posey County Fair Association Board was reeling from the disappointment of having to cancel out on the planned activities and shows, dinners, special events, and royalty contests it plans for the week-long annual summer event.

“Although I can’t comment on the Posey County 4-H Council’s virtual fair, I know that the Posey County Fair Association’s Board of Directors deeply missed seeing everyone at the fair this year. I and my fellow directors missed the buildings being full of livestock and projects that the youth of our community would exhibit and receive recognition for all. At the same time, we are glad for their hard work.” remarked Jake McGennis, President of the Fair Board.

The Fair Board is also responsible for upkeep of the fairgrounds site and many maintenance projects were completed when the fair was cancelled. “Our community is what breathes life into the grounds and provides us with the energy to continue our mission of maintaining the grounds for the future. The Fair Board will be taking this time to continue our efforts to improve the grounds to make them more userfriendly and safe for all those in the community who visit,” McGennis said. “Posey County’s continued support enables us to bring you a better fair and fairgrounds each and every year.”

Improvements planned for the site and facilities include, but are not limited to, new water lines on the west side of the fairgrounds, new plumbing in the bathrooms on the hill and exhibit building, a new sound system at the main arena, new fans in the hog barn, new flooring and paint on the community center stage, landscaping, septic issues and many more maintenance items.

The Fair Board Directors are continuing to evaluate the option to host some weekend events at a later date this year.

McGennis reflected that, “It was sad to postpone all the great events we had planned for this year’s fair until the 2021 fair.

We can’t wait for next year’s Posey County Fair, July 12 through 17, 2021”
