By Trisha L. Lopez County leaders and officials from Spectrum gathered on the Posey County Courthouse lawn Tuesday morning to celebrate the launch of broadband service for nearly 1,200 homes and small businesses in rural Posey County. Storms and heavy rains gave way to sunshine for the 11:30 a.m. ribbon cutting ceremony that marked the end of a nearly decade-long journey to bring internet service to unserved portions of Posey County.

By Lois Mittino Gray Charles Carter will juggle two roles this school year in his double life as the Poseyville Town Marshal and the North Posey School District School Resource Officer. A special meeting was called on Monday, August 1 by the North Posey School Board to enter a formal contract with him, so it could be approved at the Posey County Commissioner’s meeting the next morning in time for him to be on duty when the first week of school begins on August 8. “We would like him here on Day One to meet the staff and then on Tuesday to greet students as they come back to school,” stated Board Vice-President Greg Schmitt, filling in for absent President Geoff Gentil. School Superintendent Michael Galvin told board members that interviews for the position took place two to three weeks ago with three qualified candidates. “Charles is already trained to be an officer at the Police Academy and is certified to be a School Resource Officer, so he is ready to step into the job,” he observed.Employment details and established priorities of the one-year contract were explained after school board, Poseyville town board, and sheriff representatives met to discuss them. Carter will be an employee of the Posey County Sheriff’s Department, reporting to Posey County Sheriff Tom Latham. He will wear a county deputy uniform and be assigned a county car and equipment for his use while on school duty. He is expected to work in the schools five days a week during active schoolEvenhours.though Carter would still be the Poseyville Town Marshall 24/7, it was established that he will not respond to community calls during school hours. He could take phone calls but must stay on school site during school hours. During these times, members of the Posey County Sheriff’s Department will

Emergency Medical Services Director Paul Micheleti also appeared before the board to update Commissioners on the ambulance situation after the May 25 accident that totaled the 2017 ambulance while on an emergency run. “We were asked to move the ambulance still parked at Bruce Hall Body Shop. It will be kept at the Highway Department lot,” he stated. The EMS department has not yet heard from the perpetrator’s insurance company as to how much will be covered by the company, if at all. The other driver who hit the vehicle at the intersection of Tile Factory Road and the Keck Bypass was cited as at fault in the police report. “Our own insurance company will pay out $138,049 maximum for the claim if we do not hear anything about the other insurance. Even though it was declared totaled with its bent axles, we can get a chassis put on it for that much money and get it back in service. The box part is OK,” the Director explained. Schorr was emphatic that they need to wait before settling for that money. “Let’s see what the other guy’s insurance will pay,” he urged. The other Commissioners agreed and the action is on hold until it is figured out. County Auditor Meghan Greenwell said it is, “A mess for sure. State Farm just got the info in to us in the last two weeks to begin.” The ambulance has 170,000 miles on it and is a 2017 model. Collins thought it has too many miles on it to salvage the engine. The Commissioners approved entering into a contract with Posey County Town Marshal Charles Carter to work as the School Resource Officer for the North Posey District schools. “The County will front the $50,000 money. North Posey will pay it back to us on a monthly basis from their grant funds. He will receive no benefits from the county except a car, uniforms, liability

After several months of work, Grow Poseyville, a 501(c) nonprofit organization dedicated to the current and future success of Poseyville, IN, has been launched. This volunteer-run organization promotes growth and overall quality of place. The board utilizes available funds to invest in and give back to the community. In December 2021, a group of community leaders gathered to discuss the future prosperity of Poseyville. The meeting identified opportunities for the town: housing, Main Street, and promotion. To ensure these priorities move forward, the Grow Poseyville organization was established. Grow Poseyville is a group of businesses, organizations, and individuals with a stake in the long-term prosperity of Poseyville and the surrounding area. The organization’s vision is to be one of the best small towns in Indiana and a commercial hub for the surrounding area.

Grow Poseyville Board members include: Jared Baehl (Vice President), Michael Baehl, Justin Collins, Jody Cumbee, Amy Fisher, Michael Galvin, Geoff Gentil, Zack George, Jason Hoehn (Secretary), Joseph Neidig, Matthew Nix (President), Ryan Oeth, Justin Schmitt (Treasurer), and Jeff Wright.

Posey County Commissioners President Bill Collins, Commissioner Bryan Schorr, Commissioner Randy Thornburg, Council President Heather Allyn, Council Vice President Stefani Miller and Mount Vernon Mayor Bill Curtis were on hand as Charter Communications Assistant Vice President of Field Operations Jerry Avery lauded the “great partnership” between Posey County and Spectrum. Spectrum is a suite of advanced communications services offered by Charter Communications that serves more than 32 million customers in 41 states. The company’s newly constructed fiber-optic network buildout in Posey County is part of its $5 billion investment in rural communities. “We are extremely excited for the significant investment we are building in Posey County,” Avery told launch goers. “We’re not going to stop. Posey County is on a long list of counties for rural broadband expansion in the state of Indiana. It is a part of our goal, it is a part of our commitment to the state of Indiana. Today, parts of Posey County can actually sign up for Spectrum gigabit broadband service and advanced Spectrum services. We are committed to this county and expanding broadband.” Avery called the launch a “huge move forward for Posey County.” Chellsie Parker, community engagement specialist with the Evansville Regional Economic Partnership (E-Rep), said she is one of the one in five people in Posey County that lacked access to broadband services, a detail that might have dissuaded her from buying a home in Posey County had she known in advance.“When we moved out here, (my husband) failed to tell me that the house that we bought did not have access to internet because he knew that I would probably not agree to it,” Parker said, drawing laughs from the more than 20 people gathered for the launch. “I’m so excited for Spectrum to be making this movement in our community. It is so important for our kids. It is important for my child in the future. As we know, with remote working

By Lois Mittino Gray Cody Simpson, Project Engineer with Morley and Associates, gave the Posey County Commissioners an update on the county’s Broadband Installation Project at their August 2, morning meeting at the Hovey House. “I’m here with good news. Construction started on Segment One on Upper Poseyville Road going toward Stewartsville and Griffin and everything is going well,” he said.There are ten segments to the project and four of them have already been approved for work to begin The other segments will follow chronologically, and everything appears to be on time with the contract Simpson noted.Adiscussion ensued on whether the workers were trimming the trees properly that the lines are going up into or are they just threading the wires through the leaves. “We are paying good money for this. We need to do it right,” stated Commissioner Bryan Schorr. County Highway Superintended Steve Schenk added, “If we had it done just the threading way, with the wind we had the other night, no one would have service.”

Good News/Bad

Seems everything we run across these days has “terms and conditions”, from bank loans, credit card applications, automobile purchases, to amusement park rides that make you read or sign a waver so that you know exactly what you’re getting yourself into. If it’s electronic you have to agree with a check mark before it will even advance to the signature line. All this is to insure that you won’t come back on them if things don’t turn out the way you thought they should. How many times have we just glanced at, and signed “terms and conditions” without really reading them? Or how many times have we just initialed or checked the box so we could just move on??Have you ever had a discrepancy only to be told “well you signed it”? Without really understanding it? Then your stuck withFunnyit. how life throws us curves and sometimes things just don’t turn out the way we thought. Maybe we didn’t read it well enough in the “terms and conditions”.Farmingis a perfect example. We aren’t guaranteed a return or a favorable outcome. Things happen unexpectedly that we didn’t figure into our plans… crop failure due to droughts or floods, death loss due to disease or market swings. Any number of things can happen… we didn’t realize or remember seeing it in a “terms and conditions” section or agree to it. The closest thing we have to a “terms and conditions” is the Bible. It spells it all out for us if we just open it up and read. It’s full of promises and “terms and conditions” … Mark 12:30-31 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater thanHebrewsthese. 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. So I hope when this life is over you’ve agreed to the right terms andTooconditions.manyseem to want to write their own these days... and we all see how that’s working out.

Letter to the Editor

We appreciate the thoughtfulness and the thoroughness of not just the Area Plan Commission but also various other county leaders, independent reviewers and the community in consideration of the Posey Solar Project over the past few years. This has been a prudent process that included stringent revisions to Posey County’s solar zoning ordinance last year, before our project submitted its Preliminary Development Plan application. Through various required approvals over the past 18 months, the County Commissioners, the Area Plan Commission, the Board of Zoning Appeals, the Posey County Soil and Water Conservation District, the SECS Transportation Committee and a number of third-party consultants have reviewed and approved various aspects of our project. Along the way, their feedback has been applied, as reflected in the Final Development Plan application. With the downsizing of the project to 200 megawatts, there was opportunity to incorporate more public feedback into the project. We fully expect that the Area Plan Commission will put that same level of consideration into their review and discussion of the Final Development Plan application later this month. We believe we have demonstrated - and will continue to demonstrate - that the Posey Solar Project intends to be a good business neighbor in Posey County. Timberly Ross Company appreciates hard work IIWTS. B C P Just One Bad Decision’s Difference Do you ever think that just one thing in your life changed everything, or that one decision you made could have changed where you are today? I certainly have, especially lately. Several months ago, Jeff Greenwell was at our house discussing with Dave about Medicare and insurance options, as you know Dave is much older than me, and Jeff told me he was going to start teaching a finance class at the Posey County Jail for inmates. He asked me if I would be willing to come in the week on banking since I have worked in that area for 25 plus years. I said yes that I would be willing to do that without giving it much thought. When he checked with Sheriff Tom Latham about me participating Tom said absolutely not. He told Jeff that he doesn’t mix males with females for these programs, but would I be willing to teach the class to females. Again, I said yes without giving it much thought.Jeffstarted the classes for the men, and it took him about four weeks for each group of men. I was procrastinating because that quick yes started me thinking about what I had said yes to doing. I was going to go into the jail and be locked in a room with inmates for an hour each week. So many things came to my mind with the number one question being what did they do to get behind those bars? I finally decided that if I was going to do this, as I had promised, it was time to put that foot in the door, or I should say many doors. If I have counted correctly, I think I go through six locked doors to get to the room for our class. After much prayer I took the book that was purchased for this program and started putting my ideas together. I quickly determined I couldn’t do this in four weeks, so my plan included six weeks. I think I may talk more than Jeff and if you know him you may find that hard to believe. To me this was so much more than teaching 10 ladies how to do a budget. I am a deep thinker. First, they must get out of jail, then they may have to get a place to live and then they need a job before they could think about a using a budget. So, the very first week we talked about changing behaviors, habits, and attitudes. This is where preparing for this class made me realize how much I was going to get out of this new endeavor because I, like most people, have situations to make changes or break bad habits or get a new attitude. While preparing for this class I couldn’t help but reflect on my brother’s addiction of alcohol and how it took his life at age 56. He made a bad decision, many bad decisions, and it ultimately caused so much heartache. Some of his last words to me before he went into hospice and passing away was “Alcohol wins.” I never felt so defeated, yes, I felt defeated. I couldn’t fix him. Believe me I tried so hard to fix him, but I came to realize that it has to come from within which inspired my theme for the class which is “It Begins Within.”

It is my goal to help change the ladies that cross my path through this program to have the courage to change within. First themselves and then how to budget and make good choices when it comes to money. To determine the difference between “needs” and “wants” for them and their families. How to pay off debts and save for a rainy day. Each week I start with a word of the week to help build them up them as women, to want to change forever, from within. The words I have chosen in order from week one to week six are: respect (and for the respect of money); discernment; integrity; dignity; graceful; and successful. We discuss the meaning and how each of these can change them. Throughout the six weeks I kept thinking to myself that the only difference between me and them was one bad decision which probably led to many more bad decisions that put them in my path, in the finance class at the Posey County Jail. I choose to try to make a difference in 10 lives each session not only giving them tools of managing the finances of their lives to come but them as women as well. The last week when I walked out that door I had several feelings, happy, sad, accomplished, anxious and the list goes on. I may never cross those ten ladies’ paths again, but God gave me six plus hours of their life to try to make them see they can be different, not only with their money but with their lives. I think of this opportunity as a privilege. Thank you, Latham, for establishing this program and all the other programs at the jail to help the inmates to prepare for a better way of life once released. When I started, I told Dave it was my goal to see one lady’s life changed but on the last night when I got home, I said that wasn’t good enough. I wanted 10 for 10 lives changed.

Respectfully submitted, The Bittners Ed, Linda, Aaron, Joe, Krista Garrett and Stacy Reed Posey County, taking the first step

This week starts the second adventure with 10 new ladies for six weeks, hopefully to give them life tools that make them want to change those bad behaviors, attitudes, and habits in their lives and with their money. As I told them on the last night of the program “when you get released let it be the ﬁrst day of the rest of your life and ---- let it begin within.”

“Mr. Redwine, this is the medical laboratory at the Palace of Pain. We have the results of your recent CT Scan. Would you like the good news or the bad news first?” “Oh, let’s go with the bad news; lay it on me.”“Okay Jim, the bad news is there isn’t much good news. However, you show no signs of any fatal health condition. On the other hand, you probably should stay away from any sharp instruments or loaded pistols until after we can remove the large kidney stone that showed up on your CT Scan.” “What about just ignoring the stone; will it simply dissolve or pass on its own?” “I’m afraid not. What is most likely is the large calcified mass will dislodge on its own and seek to escape out of your kidneys. Of course, as a member of the male part of the species, you know the route the large stone must take to get free. Yes, that’s right, that is how it must escape if we just leave things up to Mother Nature. Or we can go in there and break it up and wait as the pieces work their way along the aqueduct system until they achieve the end of the waterway. What’s your pleasure (if you don’t mind the expression?)”“Ugh,can’t you just shoot me? After all I’m almost 80 years old and it’s already been a pretty good run?” “Actually, we’d be willing to shoot you but they won’t let us. We’ll have to dig out the kidney stone. It’s an easier procedure than Peg’s second hip replacement that’s scheduled in two weeks. She isn’t whining; it looks like she’s the one with the manly equipment. When do you want to get this rodeo started? It could break free at any time and, if it does, you know where it will get stopped up. You do not want that. We’ll give you a silver bullet to bite on. How about next“Canweek?”yougive me a few more details?” “Sure, we’ll go in with a tube and break the stone up, leave a stent in to keep the passageway open then spend about the next week watching the pieces work their way out.”“Work their way out of where?” “Out of your kidneys, of course.” “How do they get out of my urine?” “You already know where the urine comes out.”“Yeh, I know that but how do you get up there to get the pieces?” “We have to insert a long rubber tube up there, you know, there.” “How do you do that?” “We insert it in the end of the device Mother Nature gave you and let things progress, more or less, naturally.” “Okay, back to Plan B; let’s use that silver bullet for its truly intended purpose.” “Nope, I lied we won’t shoot you. Not for your sake, but because we are all younger, we don’t have kidney stones and we’re not going to jail just because you’re a wimp. Buck up. Plenty of men, and a lot of women too, have survived kidney stones. As for me, I am ready to do this now. I’m not afraid.” “I’m impressed with your courage.” Well, here we are. Two female nurses, Peg, one Marquis de Sade trying to pass for a Galen and me naked and exposed. “Isn’t that tube rather large and awfully long? What about a general anesthetic. And you better keep that sharp scalpel out of my reach.”Well. Gentle Reader, it’s now two days after Peg’s surgery, one week after my two surgeries (yes, I had to have two), and I got the last laugh. Just as Peg got finished typing this article a mouse ran over her feet and she is now the biggest wimp at JPeg Osage Ranch.

Dear Editor: Area Plan Commission: Record temperatures. The United States has set another record for the hottest July on record. Hottest temperatures and humidity are becoming the norm. Why is this? Climate change is happening right now. If we don’t work on climate change now, then when? Is it too late to reverse these effects? Each time a record is made, we are asking for more and more energy and resources to run AC units; thus, putting more pollutants in the air and using valuable resources. The west coast is burning up. No longer is there a fire season but fires are always burning. When the United States has a weather disaster. It is extreme and causes much devastation and destruction. We have only to look to our neighbors to the south, Kentucky.Whenwe were approached by Tenaska to lease our farm for the use of a possible solar farm, we hesitated at first. Not knowing what all this would involve and taking good productive farm ground out of use is not an easy thing for a farmer to do. After much research, talking to others, weighing the benefits, and consulting our adult children, who will one day inherit the property, we decided to sign the lease. Not only will this lease benefit us and our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren in the future but will also be a benefit to the residents of Posey County, Indiana.Posey County residents most will benefit from the investment that the Posey Solar project is bringing to the county. This investment will make for a cleaner environment for futures to come. This project is a small step toward a long journey. Posey County should be proud to show that they are interested in making for a better environment for future generations. Hopefully, potential industries will concur that Posey County has the best interest of the residents in mind and that Posey County is proactive for a better future for all residents.

Maybe you needed help getting copies of a birth certificate or your social security card or your driver’s license. Maybe you needed financial assistance - for rent, utilities, or food. Or maybe you didn’t know exactly what you need, but you knew you needed help, a life line, a real person to talk to. Family Matters is that lifeline. The past few years have been difficult, but amid the confusion, Family Matters has continued to answer phone calls and provide resources and information. The need continues. So far in 2022, we have answered over 700 calls for assistance. Requests come from individuals and families - possibly even someone you work with or who lives next door to you.

This week’s Viking Pride features Ashton Elpers. Ashton is a junior who was selected to be on the Indiana High School Athletic Association Student Advisory Committee. She will represent Southern Indiana, be a liaison for student athletes, attend state championships, and help with Special Olympics. Here is more about Ashton:Tell me about yourself. I am 16 years old. I have two older sisters. I play volleyball, basketball, and softball. I am involved in the Student Council, National Honors Society, HOSA, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the IHSAA Student Advisory Committee. How long have you been in the activity? I am just beginning in this activity. It is a two year commitment that begins in July and proceeds until the end of my Senior year. I just attended a retreat at the end of this July to kick off my participation with this committee. Tell me about your role, responsibilities, and/or involvement in this activity. My role is to represent all student athletes of Indiana. My responsibilities will include but not be limited to, attending State Championship games and participating in awards ceremonies. I will attend four state conventions per year and plan and attend Student Leadership Conferences, which will happen in summers 2023 and 2024. What do you enjoy most about the activity? Even though I have done very little with this committee, I have most enjoyed meeting new students from across the state of Indiana. What keeps you interested and involved in your activity? I am honored as the first student of North Posey High School to be chosen for this committee. I am interested in learning all I can about the IHSAA. My goal is to be involved in every way possible. I want to make my high school community proud while setting a standard for future North Posey committee members. Tell me about your family. I am the youngest of three girls. My sisters both graduated from North Posey (Addison-2019, Avery-2022). My parents are Mike and Kelly Elpers of Haubstadt. What do you enjoy doing (out of school activities and/ or for fun) during your free time? In my free time I enjoy swimming, hanging out with my close friends, and going to the lake. What advice would you share with younger elementary or middle school students? Advice that I would give younger students is to get involved in as many school activities as possible, and to make yourself known amongst the administrators in a positive way. What is a fun fact about you that people may not know? A fun fact that people may not know about me is that I can juggle. What is your favorite quote and why? My favorite quote is “You miss all the shots you don’t take.” This is my favorite quote because it is so true to everyday life. If you do not put yourself out there you could potentially miss numerous opportunities. It is clear that Ashton took her shot when it came to being on the Student Advisory Committee and it paid off not only for her, but for the North Posey community as well. Congratulations to Ashton and good luck on future endeavors on this committee. t A ht P Hi h S htAht PHihSh Viking Pride Ashton Elpers

Teachers hit the road to meet students for new year

The gray Wildcat bus pulled to a stop in front of Riverbend Park in Mount Vernon on Tuesday, but it wasn’t filled with its usual student passengers. A group of MSD of Mount Vernon middle school teachers and Mount Vernon Junior High School Principal Marc Hostetter exited the bus to meet the gathered crowd of students and parents awaiting their arrival. It was the first stop of the night on the fourth annual Meet Your Teachers Bus Tour organized by school officials to give students the chance to meet teachers and collect bags filled with essential school supplies. Goldendoodle support dog Rudy was on hand to greet the families as well. “We take school supplies to centralized locations in town and then we have a staff bowling party at Posey Lanes afterward,” Mount Vernon Junior High School Principal Marc Hostetter said. “It’s genesis was to generate excitement about school for our kids and teachers.” Hostetter said about 60 bags were distributed to families, many who said they were eager to kick off the new year. Jessica Hansen and her son, soon-sixth-grader Kaleb Schuler, were one of the first families to greet the Mount Vernon Junior High crew when they arrived. “I wanted to meet my teachers,” Schuler said. He said he was excited to get the year started. Teacher Wendy Collins said she was ready to get back in the classroom as well. “I wanted to see our old students and meet new students. I do this every year,” Collins said, adding that students were always excited to see their teachers on the tour. “I’m ready to get back into my regular schedule, see the kids, getting the year going again.” Collins said she’s starting her sixth year with the MSD of Mount Vernon and she said the Riverbend stop is always the biggest on the back-to-school tour. Brooklynn Bradley, 12, is going into seventh grade at Mount Vernon Junior High School. She said she looks forward to art classes and seeing her friends. Her mom, Becky Bradley, said Tuesday was their first time attending a tour stop and they were glad to have the chance to meet teachers and receive supplies. Bradley’s maroon tote bag was filled with pencils, paper, an art bag, hand sanitizer and a Newfolder.physical education and health teacher Dustin Murray said he was happy to meet his future students. “I’m really just looking forward to making an impact on their day,” Murray said. Hostetter said students will see several new teachers when classes resume today. He said the tour is just as beneficial for his new staffers as it is for the students they will teach. “It gives our new teachers, who may not be from Mount Vernon, a quick tour of town. Hopefully, it gives them a leg up on where our students come from,” Hostetter said. “The feedback has been positive from both staff and community.”

Welcome to the Weekly Wildcat where we highlight a Mount Vernon High School student and their involvement in both their school and community. Benjamin Glueckert is going to be a senior at Mount Vernon High School. This will be his 4th year on the Mount Vernon Boys Soccer Team. Tell me about yourself. I’m a senior attending Mount Vernon High School. I have loved playing soccer since I was kid. Everyday I strive to be the best version of myself I can be. I am a strong student academically, and I value my education. I try my best to be a positive influence to the younger guys on the team, so that by the time they are seniors, they are respectful to the younger guys on their own team. I try to be around soccer as much as I can. Last summer I co-coached the Junior Kickers for Mount Vernon Parks and Rec. I try to help out with the MV soccer camp every year. I play travel ball and indoor winter leagues. In the end, I just want to have a positive impact on the future of the Mount Vernon Soccer program. Tell me about your family. I am the youngest of three children. My parents both work at USI. My mom is the associate provost of academic affairs, and occasionally will teach a chemistry class on top of that. My father is a chemistry professor as well. In technicality, I have a half brother and half sister, but I don’t consider them anything less than my brother and sister. My sister graduated from USI and is now working as a nurse. She is married and has one child. My brother is currently enrolled at USI and plans to become an English teacher. My mom has always been there for me and helps in anyway I need. My dad has always been my Number One fan. He is hard on me, but only because he has high expectations for me in everything I do. What is a fun fact about you that many people don’t know? I am color blind. Everyone thinks its a bad thing but it is actually kind of interesting in my opinion. I can only see red, yellow, and blue when I look at a rainbow in the sky though, which is kind of lame. I also usually can’t tell if people are blushing or sunburnt by looking at them, because the shade of red doesn’t differentiate much from a persons natural skin tone. What words do you live by? Thomas Edison didn’t invent the lightbulb on his first attempt. What do you enjoy doing (out of school activities and/or for fun) during your free time? I like playing netball, which is kind of a combination between tennis and volleyball. I also like to play disc golf and basketball. I have started weightlifting and I love it now. I like to go on walks with my dad to the riverfront late at night. I also like to listen to music. What advice would you share with younger elementary or middle school students? Just be persistent in everything you do. Failure isn’t a loss, quitting is a loss. Always have the drive to be the best at whatever you do. What plans do you have for the future? I am not very sure, which has driven my parents crazy. I know I definitely want to play soccer in college, but I am not sure where. I also know I want to do something related to math, possibly statistics. According to Mount Vernon soccer coach, Chris Cole, Ben is a great senior leader. Not only does Ben value his education, but he gives his all to soccer and his team. Get out and support Mount Vernon Boys Soccer. Their season kicks off Saturday, August 13 at Mater Dei.

Head, Heart, Health: These are the 4 H’s that two youth in Posey County are pledging for not only their community but also for the state. Reagan Koester and Shelby Lang were both selected as Indiana State 4-H Ambassadors. Their goal is to represent the 130,000 members as well as to help promote 4-H across Indiana for better youth development for all. The 4-H State Ambassador program is relatively new to the state. The program led by Dr. Casey Mull, the Indiana State 4-H Program Director, has several goals for the year. The Ambassadors will be key leaders and presenters during the Indiana State Leadership Summit as well as represent 4-Hers at the Indiana Statehouse on the State 4-H day. Also, the Ambassadors will play a key role in promotion by creating several videos explaining the benefits of 4-H and their personal development through the program. Finally, the Ambassadors will work with State Legislators to install state 4-H laws. The first endeavor that the Ambassadors participated in was their training during the Grand Opening of the Indiana State Fair. During the opening breakfast and ceremonies, members met several leaders of the state including Governor Eric Holcomb, Farm Bureau President Randy Kron, and Lieutenant Governor Susan Crouch. Even our very own Reagan Koester provided a private tour of the Indiana State Fair to the President-elect of Purdue University, Dr. Mung Chiang. Congratulations to Shelby Lang and Reagan Koester for being selected for this great honor with over 100 applicants throughout the state. Good luck with their future endeavors as they represent our county and the great organization of Indiana 4-H.

By Trisha L. Lopez Posey County law enforcement officers recently worked with the teachers and staff at Saint Wendel School in Wadesville, helping educators focus on safety and prevention moving into the start of the new school year. Posey County Sheriff Tom Latham, Chief Deputy Jeremy Fortune and Deputy Matthew Davis visited the elementary school in late July to provide information and training on strategies to keep students safe in school. Officers spoke about awareness and protective options and .223 rounds were fired in hallways so that staff could become familiar with the sound of gunfire within the school. July’s training is one of several that officers have conducted in Posey County schools in recent years in an effort to find ways to better protect students and staff, Latham said. All Posey County Schools have a strong focus on student safety, according to corporation administrators.Lathamsaid he thought the training was very successful and said it is important for schools and law enforcement to work together to train and prepare for unthinkable situations like violence in school. “It sickens me (that) we are dealing with this within our society, but I’m a realist. (I) don’t think ‘Well, maybe if we don’t talk about it, it won’t exist,’” Latham said. “Unfortunately, we have to train and prepare for it to occur. If it doesn’t, (that is) great. But if it does, at least we will have a platform of how to react.”

“That’s the problem schools face. Drawing the line…what’s too much where children lose the environment and learn within the walls of a ‘prison?’” Latham said. Latham said there are things that staff and students can do to help and he urges them to report all suspicious situations. “Although the United States Department of Homeland Security promotes ‘If you see something, say something’ campaign, I add ‘If you see or hear something, say something.’ This comes from potential conversations which may be overheard and or noises consistent with active aggression,” Latham said. Posey County Sheriﬀ Tom Latham discusses safety strategies with Saint Wendel staﬀ members. Photo provided answer any community calls. “Let’s say there is a robbery at the bank, we want him there to protect the kids first,” Latham remarked in an earlier interview. “I did not like that we had no officer on duty in the North Posey schools last year and I am so pleased we now have such a trainedLathamofficer.”explained that money was a factor in not having an officer for the school last year. “It is hard to advertise and find someone qualified at $12.50 an hour. Now due to the generosity of the school officials, we can make it happen.” In the contract agreement, the school district will pay the SRO $50,000, their part of a Safe Schools matching grant, into the county coffers and the county will pay his salary. He will receive no other benefits from the county, other than car and equipment. If he works any NP sporting events which are not a requirement of the position, he will be paid extra at an hourly rate. Other Sheriff deputies often work the games in this manner. In his SRO role, Carter plans to build strong student relationships. He has already done Officer Friendly and DARE programs in schools. He will work with at-risk students and even make home visits if need be. He will do school walk-throughs and assist in teacher emergency training. He has spoken to students about driving and texting and the dangers of vaping. After SRO duty ends for the day, Carter switches to Town Marshal car, office, and uniform. Carter conceded this may be quite a lot for him to do and he will stay busy, but he will see how it goes. The contract is for one year with evaluation of the program at that time. “I could not be happier to bring up this motion,” enthused Board Member Vince Oakley, delighted that the students will have police protection five days a week. Board member Larry Kahle seconded the motion in agreement. It passed unanimously 3-0 as Board member Amy Will was also absent, besides Gentil. Oakley expressed thanks to the Town of Poseyville for being so flexible on the issue. In other action that evening: • Resignations were accepted from Courtney Hoehn as a Custodian at North Posey Junior High School; from South Terrace Elementary School Teacher Chelsea Travelstead; from Bus Driver Dennis House and from Kayla Sanford as an Instructional Assistant in the Life Skills Room.•Wesley Scherzinger was hired to teach fourth grade at South Terrace Elementary School and Lyndsey Schneider will teach first grade at North Elementary School. Brittany Hester was hired to be an Instructional Assistant at North Elementary School while Kaylie Hensley will do the same job at South Terrace School. LeAnn Schmitt will be a Bus Driver and Julie Gries will work 50 percent Social Media/Website Manager for North Posey High School. Jeff Duvall was hired to be a Math Teacher at North Posey Junior High School and Kayla Wilsey will work in the South Terrace Elementary Cafeteria. • adjusted a change in hours for some members of the South Terrace and North Elementary cafeteria staff as presented.

Allyn said broadband service was one of her priorities when she ran for the Posey County Council. “For our county to be able to grow…we want residents and they have to have the internet,” Allyn said. “When Covid hit, it became even more apparent that this was a necessity. This is so exciting.” Miller agreed. “This is my eighth year on the council. Since I came on, it was talked about. This was a long, long process. It is great to see the fruition of this. It’s a great asset countywide. Covid really brought it to the forefront. It is a great need,” Miller said. Miller and Allyn said the lack of internet access cost the county a locally owned small business several years ago. “The owner said the internet was a necessity for their business to grow. He was basically saying ‘We’re going to move because we can’t do the business that we need to do,’” Allyn said. United States Representative Larry Bucschon (Ind-8) was scheduled to attend the event, but was unable to make it due to flight conflicts. Staffer Allie Johnston spoke on his “Expandingbehalf.broadband internet access in rural areas will allow businesses to grow, students to thrive and communities to connect,” Johnston said. “Charter’s broadband investment will give users the vital connectivity that they need. Congressman Bucshon is working to further rural broadband access with bills like the American Broadband Act, which would authorize $20 billion over five years to develop broadband and the structured deployment and the Flexible Financing America Act which will cut through bureaucratic committee red tape to provide quality rural broadband networks and support upgrades to aging infrastructure.”CharterCommunications official Elizabeth James said the company provides services to 81 communities statewide and she detailed a variety of packages geared to help customers at all income levels. The company was awarded $1.2 billion in the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) auction which will allow it to provide access to about 1 million customers across 24 states. Posey County residents and businesses are encouraged to visit the company’s website at www.spectrumruralexpansion.com to learn more about when they may be able to receive services.

Latham said his office has had active shooter drills to train Posey County educators on how to respond in each stage of an emergency situation.“Wewant to create as realistic a situation as we possibly can. We walk through the halls. We have guns. We want them to hear what a gun sounds like. We’ve had teachers crying because they are scared. Here’s the thing… when you do it to prepare yourself so if it happens, and we pray that it never does, you’re better prepared,” Latham said. Michael Galvin, superintendent of MSD of North Posey schools, said his team reviews safety plans on a yearly basis. He said his team also updates plans in response to school tragedies on the national stage. “The District allocates money from state and federal grants to address security issues within our schools. We are implementing the latest equipment to protect our staff and students,” Galvin said. “All the school principals and myself participate in annual safety training.” He said MSD of North Posey utilizes operations fund dollars to address security needs within its schools including monitoring devices, secure entrances and other security features.Dr. Matt Thompson, superintendent of MSD of Mount Vernon schools, said his team operates a Crisis Protocol and Intervention Plan as well as annually reviewed school safety plans. “Staff and students participate in different situational drills throughout the year. We also have local police conduct a drill with staff only, after school hours,” Thompson said. Latham said his department has its own policies in place as well. “We don’t wait. Our policy is, you go towards the gun shot. If you are the only one there. You eliminate the threat. That’s our procedure,” Latham said. Latham’s officers are trained to face threats, but he said schools present unique personal challenges.“We’ve got kids in schools. One of the hardest things…my kid, he may be reaching for me, crying and in pain. I have to step over him and continue until the threat is eliminated. How hard is that going to be as a parent? You have to look past that and look over it towards your goal,” Latham said. He said that state, local and county law enforcement agencies are prepared to respond in the event of an “Everybody’semergency.coming. There’s no doubt about it. If a person’s available and they are aware, they are stopping doing what they are doing and they are coming,” Latham said. When looking at ways to reduce the likelihood of violence, Latham said increased focus should be placed on mental health needs. Thompson agreed. “As a society, we have far too many people on the fringe that need more resources, such as mental healthcare,” Thompson said. Neither superintendent said they are in favor of arming teachers, a step taken or discussed in many states nationwide. An article published in May on www.usconcealedcarry.com named 32 states that allow teachers and staff to carry firearms on school campuses. The article breaks down states’ restrictions, and says that, in Indiana, carrying firearms requires school board permission. In Ohio, legislation was passed in June that allows school boards to allow teachers to carry firearms with a minimum of 24 hours of training. Boards are required to notify parents when one more school workers are armed. “We are educators and not faced with daily decisions our local law enforcement must make to fire their weapons. I have had lengthy conversations with law enforcement, and I do not believe this is something we should do with our teachers,” Galvin said. Latham said it’s important to find a middle ground “providing a nice place for a comfortable educational atmosphere, but safer. Not creating a compound.”

insurance and equipment. He will do all his own taxes on 1099s and be a contracted employee.Heworks for us on my authority,” Posey County Sheriff Tom Latham described. “Officer Carter is a real plus for us. He is already certified as a School Resource Officer and trained at the Police Academy. Last year, we had no full-time police presence in the schools, and I did not like that. Deputies stopped by there to check things out, but this will be so much better.” Sheriff Latham also gave his monthly inmate count as: 50 from Vanderburgh County, 14 from the Department of Corrections, and 81 from Posey County for a total of 145 residing in the jail that day. Collins asked him if the website is running properly now. “No, we are working with Spilman on it and the app company to get things worked out and there is miscommunication. Four hands are in this to keep it running smoothly and it seems that one is not talking to the other. My blood pressure gets high over this at times, as I have been sending nastygrams.” Collins noted the last public work posting he saw was on July 18, to which the Sheriff replied, “Trust me, we’ve had plenty of incidents since then.” In other Commissioner action:• The Commissioners approved a motion to add an amendment to the Animal Control Officer’s job description concerning overtime. He will receive two hours of timeand-a-half pay if he is called out on a special project or assignment overtime. The Animal Control Officer report for July is 42 complaints with 14 pickups. There were four bites reported and zero cases of euthanasia.•Acontract was signed with American Structure Point for $8,000 to cover the cost of the firm doing research on grants available to rebuild the Mulberry Street Bridge over the train tracks in Mount Vernon.• Two tables in Hovey House were declared surplus furniture. County Clerk Kay Kilgore said her team uses the tables during county elections. Greenwell said she will replace them with tables in better condition from another county site as these are broken when you move them.

• Posey County Health Department Director Don Martin reported that “COVID is getting better. The number of cases is leveling off and going down a little bit in the county. We have several testing kits to give out and we are doing children’s back-to-school shots of all kinds.”

• A discussion on parity in salary schedules for teachers was initiated by Oakley. Some teachers, especially those with four-10 years of service, may not make enough commensurate with their seniority, as compared to newer employees, based on new state guidelines. Administrators assured the board they were aware of the situation and it will be addressed by the next teacher contract.•The next regular board meeting will be Monday, August 8 in the Metropolitan School District of North Posey Conference Room. Executive session, if needed, will begin at 5:30 p.m. with the regular meeting to begin at 6:30 p.m. and students having to learn from home, this is absolutely important for our community and for Posey County.” E-Rep Vice President of Economic and Community Development Jenna Richardt thanked Posey County officials for their efforts to make broadband a reality. “The work over the last few years that they have put into advocating for a need for broadband in our area is phenomenal. They have taken time from their regular jobs to be able to do this. It is amazing. We started by seeking out to be a broadband-ready community and we were able to accomplish that. Little steps have moved us forward in order to be able to be here today with you all,” Richardt said. “When we talk about rural broadband, we are talking about Posey County as a whole. There’s not an area that we don’t need it to touch. It is not a privilege any more. It has become a necessity.” Schorr told guests that the day marked “a great day for Posey County.” “Broadband is really going to help our community. Not just from a local standpoint, but residentially and businesses…it should help us attract, maintain and keep residents in Posey County to take us into the 21st century. We’ve got a lot going on here. We still have a lot of infrastructure that we need to continue to work on like sewer and water and things like that, but this is a vital part of that,” Schorr said. “There’s over 1,200 homes and businesses that are going to be connected over the next few months.” Schorr said there were homes that were not getting connected because owners thought they had 25 mbps download speeds and “we’re finding out some of those aren’t right. Spectrum has done a very good job of going back and grabbing those homes and connecting them. My message to the public who are not getting those types of speeds, please reach out. Please let us know. I will take the ball forward. I will challenge Spectrum to get internet to us.” Collins called the day a “huge win” and said it is “fantastic to see something finally happen.”Collins referenced Parker’s comments about internet being an important factor for homebuyers when considering a move to Posey“LikeCounty.(Parker) said, had she known they didn’t have (internet access), she wouldn’t have wanted to live there. This is the first step in being able to develop the county and get some more housing,” Collins said. “We’re starting with broadband. The Wadesville-Blairsville area’s (sewer service) is coming together. Broadband will be up there. That should be a good opportunity. We need Posey County housing so the people that go to work here stay here.”

• Chief County Probation Officer Michelle Fortune presented a brand-new contract with Empowerment Behavior utilizing funds through the Indiana Department of Mental Health to do a community needs assessment to see how those who went through the county justice system are faring. The contract is for $50,000 with Todd Whitler who would prepare and administer a survey of different segments of the formerly incarcerated population. He is already under contract on another program with a Substance Abuse Grant. The Commissioners approved the contract.•Schenk told Commissioners the Community Crossings Grant money from the State of Indiana for paving should be appropriated soon. JH Rudolph Company began to work on road paving sections they were awarded after bidding, such as Stierley Road to Highway 66, but were temporarily stopped due to the recent heavy rains. “A lot of roads are closed in the county now due to excessive water and downed power lines. Crews are busy pushing trees off the road first,” Schenk explained.

• Collins asked Schenk for an update on the “squabble” with the German Township Fire Department on payment of bills to keep repairing the same stretch of road over a water main leak. “Once they moved the water line out of the way to another location, the road is OK now. We will take it off the list to be paved this year and put it back on for next year when this is all settled,” he assured the Commissioners.

• Martin said work on the new sewer district pipe installations is going very well. “They have already gone down Haines Road, and near South Terrace Elementary School, and the Eastlake Subdivision. It is trudging forward in a very effective manner. The sewage plant is finished, and the big grinder pumps are being put in now for households. This will all help relieve our sewage problem in the northern part of the county.”

By Lois Mittino Gray Exactly 60 years to the day that eight excited British Boy Scouts landed on US soil at Chicago’s O’Hare airport, several of them reconnected with their New Harmony hosts in a Zoom meeting to reminisce and catch up on their lives. On August 1 this year, the old chums from both sides of the “Big Pond” sat down at the screen to regale each other with memories of the impressive trip, recent goingson in their families, thoughts of the ones who since passed away, and their observations on the current political scene. “We were all so tired when we arrived in New Harmony to the welcoming. It was an incredibly long day. Two cars picked us up in Chicago and whisked us away. It took six or seven hours to get there. I remember waking up to see the New Harmony sign as we were crossing the bridge into town. I knew it was going to be a special place and that it was very historic, an experiment in socialism. I just didn’t realize at the time what an impact it would have on me,” Brendan Blake reflected. “And to think the small town of New Harmony took it upon themselves to host us for two weeks. It was a remarkable feat! I will never forget it,” added Chris Buckley, President of Scouting in Bolton, Lancashire, England. “And we will never forget you,” interjected Jan Endicott Kahle, one of the local Zoom participants. “New Harmony was a place of experimentation. You were our experiments,” added Diana Bailey Biggs. She and her husband Dennis Biggs, Sharon Benton York and her husband Bill York, and her sister, Lisa Smith attended the Zoom meeting from here. Attending internationally were Chris and his wife, Elizabeth; Brendan and his wife,Theresa; Peter Vickers and his wife, Maggie; Toni Ford whose scout husband, Martin is deceased; and Bridget Crompton, whose scout husband John, has also passed away. “I had a 60 year flashback just the other night. My granddaughter asked me while we were walking if I could hear the crickets chirping. I couldn’t, but it made me remember the night we arrived in New Harmony. I couldn’t get over how loud and numerous they were. Sadly, I cannot hear them anymore,” Brendan wistfully remarked. Brendan Blake recalled the intensity of the thunderstorms he experienced while here, especially when they spent a few nights camping out at the old boy scout camp, Camp Pahoka. “I never saw electrical storms like that before. We were in tents and they were so fierce!” He also said it was very hot and humid in Indiana. “We had trouble sleeping at first,” he remembered. Chris jovially reminisced about being interviewed on a television program while in the States and being asked, “What has been your favorite part of the trip so far?” Chris replied, “I said “The Girls”. “The Girls” were local 14- and 15-year-olds who took it upon themselves to show the scouts around town. They participated in activities with them such as dances, bowling, sports, and picnics. Jan, Diana, and Sharon were members of “The Girls” group and that’s how their lifelong friendships with the scouts began. They often exchanged letters after they left. “I remember at that age, having eight guys come from England was a really big thing,” Jan said. “It was the highlight of our youth!” Diana declared. Sharon even took one of them to a drive-in movie for the first time in her mother’s big red 1961 Oldsmobile. “We all loved driving around in that car. We just didn’t have them that big like that at home,” Chris remarked, while looking at the picture on the screen of the boys and Sharon sitting around the red car. Brendan thought the hospitality was fantastic on the trip. They spent much time going to many different places. They toured Farm Bureau Refinery, General Electric, Peabody Coal Mine, Audubon State Park in Henderson, Cave-in-Rock, and Burdette Pool to name a few. They enjoyed their visits to Evansville and to Mammoth Cave National Park. They even asked about “Father Christmas Land” and the girls said it was Santa Claus Land, now Holiday World. With all the good times, the two weeks flew by and the scouts departed New Harmony after a goodbye service in Roofless Church on August 13.

The “Girls” back in 1962: Jan Endicott Kahle, Renee Marx Wilson, Diana Bailey Biggs, Carlene Anderson Vanlaningham, Jo Ellen Stallings Miller and Donna Dunham.

Peter Vickers, the talkative quipster who introduced himself on Zoom as the “quiet one,” stayed with the Benton family as his host. For the Zoom meeting, he wore his original Scout jacket from that time in August, 1962. “Look it’s still a perfect fit,” he said with a straight face as he held in his breath. Peter talked about going to a dance at the American Legion on the first or second night. “Someone suggested we leave and go see the Roofless Church all lit up with floodlights. It was beautiful. A policeman came in there with his gun raised and marched us back to the dance!” The group laughed remembering a visit several of them made to New Harmony several years later. “We rented a golf cart and were told not to drive on main streets with it. While we were riding around we were singing ‘Home on the Range’ together real loud and possibly on the wrong streets. We worried about being caught by the police. “Don’t worry, I know the cop,” Peter joked, recalling his experience on the dance night long ago. After returning, years passed, and the young men did not all stay in touch. Chris, who was hosted by Joe and Ruth Wilson and their six sons, said “They were perfect hosts and I was fortunate to stay with them again in 1967. Also, while touring the states with my wife and two sons in 1999, we were lucky to catch up with Joe the day before his 80th“Thebirthday.”storygot thicker and thicker around 2013 as Brendan, who worked at IBM and had good Internet skills, started tracing all of them down,” Chris observed. Bridget said her late husband, John Crompton, was very impressed at what he saw on his factory tours in Posey County and went on to work as a metallurgist. John found Peter working in New Zealand, where he was onsite for 31 years before returning to England. Martin Ford became a US Citizen and was working in Michigan.Manyof the eight scouts reconnected in 2013 at a reunion party. “We were all 16 and 17 year olds all over again!” Chris said of the event. “We had all of our souvenirs, journals and pictures and memories spread all over the table. I was the only one whose scout pants fastened in the front,” he boasted. “But you couldn’t breathe! his wife pipedThein.men talked about going back to New Harmony to visit to celebrate its 200th Bicentennial Birthday in 2014. Chris and Elizabeth, Martin Ford and Toni, and Brendan Blake attended the event and rode in the Bicentennial Parade. It was at that time they reconnected with their hosts and “The Girls”. “We had no idea you remembered us,” Jan commented. “How could we ever forget you?” Chris countered.There were even more rendezvous and scout patrol reunions after that. In 2016, Sharon and Bill and Diana and Dennis joined them overseas for a Scout Patrol reunion. They met again in Prague in 2015. That year, and in 2018, Jan and her granddaughter, Lauren Woodrow Ashouri, attended a scout patrol reunion in England while Lauren was studying at Harlaxtan. In 2017, Elizabeth and Chris, Toni and Martin, and Pete and Maggie came back to New Harmony once more.Some of the other scouts do not participate in the reunions. Nick Perry, who was hosted by the Goodens, returned to the Shetland Islands. Don McDarmaid, who stayed with the Mounts family, is not well and resides in a nursing home. Besides reminiscing, many personal questions were asked to catch up on each other. Upcoming vacations, recent surgeries, house renovations and grandchildren and new babies were hot topics. Lauren is expecting her first in seven weeks. “We’re having one the same week,” Sharon chimed in. The British friends asked about current events in America, the recent flooding that took 27 lives, forest fires, and the hot temperatures. They are also dealing with record-high heat. All are very concerned about the Ukraine situation. Brendan talked about taking two Ukrainian refugees to lunch the next day. “It’s the best I can do right now,” he Locally,noted. they asked if anything was new on the demise of the Wabash River bridge and if it will be pedestrian. Peter, who lived with the Watsons as his host family, asked about Gary and expressed his sympathy when he learned his mother, Maxine, passed away recently. Chris sent his condolences when he learned of Kirby Wilson’s death.“Isee you need a new Town Marshal. Maybe I will apply,” Chris, who keeps up with town news, quipped. “That would be a tough commute,” Jan joked in response. Before signing off, the fast friends asked Chris to set up another Zoom get-together, possibly around the New Year. He said they might get together next spring in person, too. “New Harmony and its people have a special place in the hearts and minds of we eight English boys that will last forever,” Chris wrote in a letter to the PCNews Editor to tell him about the Zoom meeting. As they always say in England, “That’s Brilliant!”

By Chris Morlan Another North Posey student committed to continuing their athletic career at the next level. Viking senior Adyn Collins announced he will continue his academic and athletic career at Quincy University to play for the Hawks baseball team. “I’m just really excited for Adyn. It’s been a goal of his to play at the next level,” North Posey coach Kirkman said. “Honestly, though with that kid, I can say more on how much he has grown as a person and as a teammate and as a leader as well.” Quincy University is coached by Matt Schissel. Last season, the Hawks finished with an overall record of 37-25 and 15-9 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. In last years NCAA Division II Midwest Super-Regionals, Quincy lost to University of Illinois Springfield in a three-game series. Currently, Collins is a senior on the North Posey baseball team. Last season, the Vikings finished with a 13-10 overall record and 7-4 in the Pocket Athletic Conference. The Vikings were eliminated in the sectional semifinals. Collins was a member of the 2021 Viking squad that won their third consecutive sectional championship and finished runner-up in the regional of the state tournament. “He is a guy that has always had all the tools,” Kirkman said. “His sophomore year, I don’t think he had the year he probably wanted. There isn’t a harder working kid in our program. He put his nose down and kept working. It paid off last year with his numbers.” Collins is a left-handed pitcher and plays outfield. In 2022, Collins led the Vikings in hitting with a .443 batting average. Collins also hit five home runs along with 24 runs batted in.

During the summertime, Collins plays baseball for the Indiana Nitro Gold travel team. Kirkman said, “He had an unbelievable season. Being first-team All-PAC in that conference in baseball especially is a great season.”

Wildcats take second in season-opening Invitational

By Chris Morlan North Posey senior Erin Hoehn took some pressure off herself. Hoehn and the University of Michigan have announced she will be continuing her academic and athletic career at the University of Michigan and play for the Lady Wolverine softball team. Hoehn made college visits with Indiana University, Ole Miss, University of Michigan, Oklahoma State and could have played at just aboout any college in America at the division one level. “I believe that it was around the age of 10 or so that Erin fell in love with the game of softball,” North Posey coach Gary Gentil said. “She has worked very hard, year-round, since then to get this opportunity.” Hoehn narrowed it down to Michigan and will start school in the fall of 2023 and will play softball during the 2024 spring season. The Michigan softball team is coached by legendary Carol Hutchins. Last season, the Lady Wolverines finished the 2022 season with a 38-18 overall record and 14-8 in the Big Ten Conference. Michigan was a NCAA Tournament qualifier. During the NCAA Tournament, the Lady Wolverines lost to 18th-ranked UCF in the championship game of the NCAA Regionals. One game short of qualifying for the NCAA Tournament Super Regionals. Gentil said, “Erin is getting a chance to live every little girl’s dream who falls in love with playing softball. Every team that Erin has played on, in one way or another, she has helped make them better.” Last season, Hoehn was perhaps the most valuable member of the North Posey softball team that finished runnerup in the Class 2A State Finals. The Lady Vikings came up short against Eastside in a 2-1 loss. North Posey finished the 2022 season with a 24-2 record and 11-0 record in the Pocket Athletic Conference. Gentil said, “I believe that the returning 2023 team will remain hungry for success and have high goals.” This was also the first time in school history North Posey has had back-to-back 20-win seasons. In her junior year, Hoehn went 14-2 on the pitchers’ mound with a 0.99 earned run average, 218 strikeouts in 106.1 innings thrown. When pitching, Hoehn’s opponents’ batting average is .085. At the plate, Hoehn had a .554 batting average with 13 home runs. “Granted in the game of softball she brings a high level of skills in hitting, fielding, and pitching but Erin is more than those,” Gentil said. “She is a very good teammate and a very humble person. Erin and the group of ladies that were on the team in 2022 and 2021 have put the North Posey Softball program at a level most teams don’t get a chance to ever be at. Erin would tell you that none of it could be achieved without her teammates.” During many games in the last two seasons, Hoehn has been intentionally walked even with the bases loaded. Hoehn has made many opponents pay for throwing good pitches to her by hitting numerous home runs. Extra Inning website ranked Hoehn fifteenth nationally in the class of 2023. She has been named to the Indiana AllState Softball First Team in Class 1A/2A for two straight seasons. Hoehn is a two-time All-Pocket Athletic Conference first team selection. After the season ended, Hoehn was named player of the year for the All-Southwestern Indiana Softball Team. “Everyone is excited for Erin and this journey after high school. She is and will continue to work hard to finish her senior year the way she wants and be ready for entering the collegiate level.” During the summertime, Hoehn also plays for the Indiana Magic Gold travel team. Hoehn is also a starter on the North Posey volleyball team. Last season, the Lady Vikings were semi-state qualifiers under first-year coach Natalie Macaulay. North Posey finished with a 27-6 overall record and 11-1 in the PAC. Gentil said, “This honor of going to Michigan is well deserved for Erin.”

Hoehn is the daughter of Jason and Kelly Brown Hoehn.

Pickleball makes a successful debut in Mount Vernon

Parks Board President Kelly Cox and Recreation Manager Damon Collins met with pickleball instructor Dick LeDuc from the Rivertown Pickleball Association in Evansville and several Mount Vernon residents to spend Saturday morning learning the ins and outs of the sport that attracted 4.8 million players nationwide in 2021. Twin sisters Leslee Fuchs and Lorelei Barns joined LeDuc and Shirley Wetzel on one of the 20’ by 44’ courts at the park Saturday morning. “I’ve always wanted to play. Lorelei told me about this today, so we came. It’s fun!” Leslee Fuchs said. Barns said she learned about the event on Facebook. “(Fuchs) has been talking about (trying to play pickleball) for almost a year. I had no clue what pickleball was. I was thinking the rackets were like tennis. I was thinking nice big racket. I thought ‘I could do that.’ Then I come here and they are these little bitty things,” Barns said with a laugh, looking down at her paddle that loosely resembles a larger version of a ping pongDeLucpaddle.joked about the competition between tennis and“Pickleballpickleball. is becoming the fastest growing game in town,” DeLuc said. “It’s basically like table tennis on a bigger scale?” Barns“Yeah.asked.If you play table tennis, racquetball, handball…this game comes easy. Everybody can play it,” DeLuc said before encouraging his partners to spread the word.“Somebody take it over and y’all call each other and come out and play. I mean if you just think about just yourself there won’t be anybody playing. You gotta find people to show up,” DeLuc said. “What we do in Evansville… so she and I are partners. We play a game and we’re done. I become your partner. I move around. We move around. You don’t buddy up with anyone. You play with everyone. You keep it going. A year from now, you’ll find I’m that I’m really bad so I’ll play with some of the newer players over there. You guys, all experienced, will play over here. You figure all that out. You want everybody to play and have fun.” DeLuc said the sport is a great mixture of exercise and fellowship.Wentzel and husband Larry (partnered with Harshbarger on a second court) said they were happy to see the sport find a home in Mount Vernon.“My husband has always liked doing it. He’s done it more than me,” Shirley Wentzel said as the group took a break to get a drink in the warm August sunshine. Larry Wentzel said he’s played for about a year. “There’s definitely different skill levels and I’m towards the bottom,” Wentzel said with a chuckle. “But it’s exercise and it’s fun.” DeLuc said he has helped four communities get started with and taught “a lot of people.”According to the sport’s sanctioning body, the USA Pickleball Association, every state and all Canadian provinces have pickleball venues, with a total of 9,524 at the end of 2021. The group estimates about 66 new locations are added each month. In 2021, the Margaritaville USA Pickleball National Championship drew more than 2,300 registered players who competed for $90,000 in prize money. The event was broadcast on ESPN-U. The group says it’s seen an 11.5 percent average annual participation growth rate over the past five years. Nick Volz of Mount Vernon reluctantly agreed to be called an instructor at the laughing urging of his partners and conceded that his “dual silver medal winner” status “ought to be worth something.”“It’sgood stuff,” Volz said. “You go over to the YMCA and every day of the week and there are at least 30 people that are playing. At least. They’ll go in and out as the courts become available. The Y has got five courts, so that’s 20 people that can play at the same time and there’s always people waiting to get in there and play.” He said pickleball tends to attract a more senior aged player base, primarily aged 50 and over. He said it’s a good activity to help with balance and coordination. The USA Pickleball Association said the average age of the sport’s core players (they play eight or more times per year) was 47.9. The average age for casual players (those who play one to seven times a year) was 34.3 in 2021… down 2.9 years from 2020. Association statistics say that 52 percent of core players are 55 or Theolder.sport is celebrating its 57th anniversary in 2022. It was invented in 1965 by a trio of Seattle-area dads whose children were looking for something new to do in the summer. According to the association’s website, one of the founders said they named the sport after a family dog, Pickles, that loved to chase and run off with the ball. “I just returned from Frisco, Colorado. They’ve got four small communities out there. Each one of them has at least 12 courts. It was the same thing. There was like 40 people at every court every morning of the week,” Volz said. “I went there to hike, but I took my paddle. I thought ‘Well, there’s old folks out here so they probably have it.’ I just went online and there it is. Summit County Pickleball. They’ve got an organization. They pay $15 dues and they have 500 members in that one little mountain county and most of those people are only there for the summer.” Cox and Harshbarger said they are hoping to secure more grant money to bring lights to the courts to provide more opportunities for residents to get involved. “I think we can build on it and hopefully word of mouth it,” Harshbarger said. “”We collected everyone’s info. We’ll try to work with some other pickleball players in the area.”Harshbarger was less pleased with his performance on the court. “It was nice…to get my butt kicked by Nick all morning. So it’s worth it,” Harshbarger“I’veVolzsaid.laughed.onlybeen playing this for about two and a half years,” Volz said. “It’s going to take you about two weeks and then you’ll be kicking mine.”

By Trisha L. Lopez Saturday marked the launch of pickleball at the tennis courts at Brittlebank Park in Mount Vernon. Mount Vernon Parks and Recreation officials said they have been looking for a fun use for the 50-year-old tennis courts “for years.” The organization received a grant from the Posey County Community Foundation last fall and the outdated facility got a makeover to attract area residents looking to join the sport that the Sports and Fitness Industry Association called the “fastest growing sport in the“SomeU.S.” community members had expressed interest in pickleball and we knew it had become very popular all over the country,” Director Michael Harshbarger said. “Last year, we made it a priority to repaint (the tennis courts) and include pickleball lines in the project. The grant covered the specific tennis court paint as well as some pickleball supplies. We were able to complete the painting early this summer and we are extremely pleased with how it turned out. The parks maintenance crew did a phenomenal job of getting it Harshbarger,done.”

By Trisha L. Lopez Fans of Mount Vernon football and volleyball got a chance to see their teams scrimmage action on Friday. Intersquad scrimmages gave both teams the opportunity to continue to prepare for the kick off to the 2022 sports season and fans filled the bleachers in support. “We’re excited to kick off a preview of some of this year’s sports teams as we are starting to move back to a ‘normal’ feel to fall athletics. Our kids have all worked hard in the off season and while we may be youth in some areas, the kids’ hard work will pay off,” said Mount Vernon Athletic Director Leigh Latshaw. “We hope that these scrimmages will help to build upon what is already strong in terms of community support and encourage some new fans to help us fill the stands this fall.”Megan DeVault, Mount Vernon volleyball coach, said she is excited to start the program’s 50th season in front of Wildcat fans. “This season is special. The volleyball program at Mount Vernon has had 30 winning seasons, 15 sectional titles, seven conference titles, one Elite Experience,” said DeVault, who is just the sixth coach in the program’s half century Volleyballrun.fans got a glimpse of a team that is returning all of its starters from its 15-12 2021 season. “Senior Mallory Nurrenbern will be returning, who finished last season as our number one offensive player. Junior Hannah Nurrenbern and sophomore Cassidy Jones will be back in the middle front, providing a huge block and bringing more offense from the middle. Senior Kaleigh Kelley will be in charge of offense again. This is her third season setting for our varsity squad. Senior Sydney Dieg will be on the outside for us also. She saw plenty of swings for us last season. Senior Brooke Sledd has seen three seasons with varsity experience. She will return as libero and will be leading our defense. Haley Duffey will be returning as defensive player in the back row. Junior Arlissa Sharber will see action this year. She will have opportunities to set and see offensive action on the right side for us. Seniors Taylor Duffey and Bailey Cox will have opportunities to provide additional defense for us. Cox has opportunities to provide offense also,” DeVault said. “Grace Schroeder is still on the mend from her ACL injury, but is looking for a possible return to action towards the end of the Wildcatsseason.”football coach Luke Messmer said he welcomed the team scrimmage as an opportunity for his guys to “play a little bit of ‘real football’ tonight.’”

“We’ve been limiting contact and only going propads (shorts and shoulder pads and helmets) so far. The guys are itching to go hit,” Messmer said. “It’s also fun to start getting our fans and parents excited for theMessmerseason.” said his focus for the evening was on improvement heading into the team’s official scrimmage against Tell City on Friday. He said the team had a nice week at practice and he saw some “good improvements both physically and mentally.”Hesaid he hoped his players had a “blast” working out in front of their fans.
