In his report, Street Commissioner Max Dieterle proudly announced street paving using the Community Crossings Grant money is 95 percent done. Striping is all complete except for the lower end of Barter Street. Councilwoman Baldwin asked about the signs banning jake braking that were okayed at a previous meeting. Dieterle replied they are not in as yet. Brothers reported the “No Parking” street sign at Fourth and Locust is very faded and hard to read. Dieterle replied he will look into it. Mayor Bill Curtis asked if anyone sees any more signs like that to give Commissioner Dieterle a call.

The AEV vehicle was approved for purchase by the commissioners.
The following day, they got their permit. “Things get done fast,” Schenk wryly noted. With the permit, they agreed any place they have to cut the road they will patch 10 feet on each side and fill with four inches of asphalt. They will repave the full length of road and joints and shoulder stone.

Under New Business, County Highway Superintendent Steve Schenk told his tale of a recent confrontation between himself and CenterPoint Energy workers who were cutting up his newly-paved Stierley Road. “I received the information and pulled up right in front of their excavator blocking it and called the sheriff. We called Brad Ellsworth with CenterPoint right away and he did a good job with his crew mediating everything and working things out. He shut them down since they never even applied for a permit to cut the road. If we had a permit, we could have worked the problem out,” Schenk said, with a shake of his head.
Members of the board also voted to increase or change their employee coffers as follows: Lana Gillenwater – food services – Marrs Elementary, Leo Hostetter – sixth grade boys’ basketball coach, Michael Landers II – assistant coach boys’ basketball, one-half stipend at Mount Vernon High School.

Fire Chief Wes Dixon, who has discussed stand by power for the storm sirens at other meetings, reported he may have an alternative solution to purchasing generators.

He plans to apply for a grant to hire more firefighters to supplement his budget. The grant application opens in January and should be finished by March.

DAR has been the foremost advocate for the awareness, promotion and celebration of Constitution Week. The annual observance provides innumerable opportunities for educational initiatives and community outreach, two mission areas of crucial importance to the National Society. By fostering knowledge of, and appreciation for, the Constitution and the inalienable rights it affords to all Americans, DAR helps to keep alive the memory of the men and women who secured our nation’s foundational liberties.

The DAR initiated the observance in 1955, when the service organization petitioned the U.S. Congress to dedicate September 17–23 of each year to the commemoration of Constitution Week. Congress adopted the resolution, and on August 2, 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed it into Public Law No. 915. The celebration’s goals are threefold: to encourage the study of the historical events that led
• Urge children to study the Constitution with their personal proclamation pledge.
“We are so proud DAR led the way in making Constitution Week an official commemoration and our members enthusiastically promote the celebration annually in communities across the country by erecting community displays, sponsoring municipal proclamations, ringing bells and staging programs to raise awareness of the Constitution’s tenets and importance,” said DAR President General Pamela Rouse Wright. “We encourage all citizens to join us in celebrating this powerful document that is so important to American history and to reflect on the impact the Constitution has had on the lives of American citizens past and present.”
In 1955, the President General of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Gertrude S. Carraway, adopted a project to promote the observance of the U.S. Constitution with a memorial week beginning on the anniversary of the signing of this document, September 17. She asked DAR chapters, committees, and members to study, teach, and discuss the U.S. Constitution. Caraway also encouraged members to invite their governors and mayors to issue proclamations celebrating the Constitution.

Rose Mary Tenbarge
She was born June 1, 1945 in Mount Vernon, Ind. She enjoyed going out to eat with her family and friends especially her best friend, Nola Allyn, going to movies, working in her flowerbeds, working on family genealogy, synchronize swimming at the YWCA in her early years, and hanging out in her own pool with her grandkids. She also had a successful Viviane Woodard cosmetics business.
He still had not graduated, so all of these paintings and murals were works of a gifted student.
Local Gridders Start Football Practice - Football in the local High School has started in earnest with about 25 aspirants seeking places on the varsity. Only three regulars are back from last year’s team. Ed Sherill, a former star in high school sports, is assisting Coach Turpin in rounding the lads into shape. The following men have reported to
Factory - The plant of the Mount Vernon Canning Co. has been an exceedingly busy place this season. Last week they shipped their fourth car of tomato pulp to New Oreans and from that city it will be sent to South America. The pulp is put up in five-ounce cans, 250 cans to the case and 350 cases to the railroad car. Red peppers have also been canned.
Family meant everything to Linda, especially her grandkids, her greatgrandkids, and her little dog, Dusty.
When he finished his college education, Harry came back to live in New Harmony with his parents, working on his own account as an artist and designer. Julia Soper Osborne was living in New Harmony at that time with her uncle and aunt, Arthur and Julia Dransfield.
And of course they were connected by the portrait that Harry painted of Arthur. Upcoming at the WMI:
Tennis - A tennis club will be organized in the local high school. It is possible that the local school will be able to play matches within the next few years.
It is not signed, but according to the display card with it, the artist who painted it was Harry Hawkins.Arthur was born and always lived in New Harmony. He became a brickmason, learning the work of that trade from his father. His work and personality must have been impressive; when he was only seventeen, he was invited to join the Working Men’s Institute. Only two years later, he was elected WMI secretary for the first time. He was secretary many times over the years, and was elected librarian of the WMI in 1899, a position which he held until his death.
Sports - Girls Are Taking Up Baseball Here - As mentioned in the last issue, girls are playing baseball and to make it most interesting, there are two teams, each of which claims to be the best. The argument grows warmer daily and the only way in which the dispute will ever be settled will be by playing several games. Playing for the “White Caps” - Doris Allyn, Mary Wilson, Edna Dexheimer, Emily Markham, Henreietta Dempler, Margaret Cooper, Wilma Dieterle, Helen Lawrence, Mary Louise Bryron, Octavia Kuhn, and Gladys Markham. The “Junior Girls’ Club” - Helen Joest, Esther Hovey, Miskil Wolfinger, Wilma Love, Sarah McGregor, Edith Grabert, Emily Weisinger, Emily Phillips, Agnes Erwin, Mary Trousdale, Justine Coulter, and Dorothy Barter.

Which type of insurance should you choose? Again, it all depends on your situation and your preferences. Some financial experts advise people to “buy term and invest the difference” — that is, use the money saved on the lower term insurance premiums to invest in stocks and mutual funds.
tural, and textile works in Revelations utilize the textures and imagery of rural landscapes. Hand-woven Jacquard textiles featuring archival images of 1920s Appalachian revivals; the 1908 Springfield, Ill., Race Riot; and the artist’s own family photos allow for a revisitation of complex histories.

How many people do we know who are sinners and we have put off witnessing to them for one reason or another? We meet them at a mall or somewhere else, but we just can’t bring ourselves to discuss Jesus because we don’t want to make them feel uncomfortable in public. ‘Next time I will talk with them about my Savior’... but you don’t. That moment in time is now gone. Then you feel guilty, as you should. James 4:17 If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them. Read that verse again. Now think of all the times you knew what you should of done but didn’t, because you didn’t want to bring attention to yourself.

Sometimes it took days, weeks, or even months, but after putting it off over and over again, one day it was taken care of. I’m sure that we all know a procrastinator. They just can’t act right away.
In fact, life insurance should be a key component of your overall financial strategy, along with your investment mix and the long-term goals you’ve set. Insurance can even play a role in your estate planning, as you determine the best way to distribute assets to your family members and any charitable organizations you support.LifeInsurance Awareness Month lasts 30 days — but your need for life insurance can endure for decades. Make sure you’re doing everything you can to protect your loved ones.
As the name suggests, term insurance provides coverage for a specified amount of time, such as 10, 20 or 25 years. Term insurance only offers a death benefit — there’s no buildup of cash value in your policy. Generally speaking, term insurance is considered to be quite affordable, especially when you’re young.
You might have heard that you should have coverage worth seven or eight times your annual salary. But this estimate is just that — an estimate. Everyone’s situation is different, and there’s really no one formula that can tell you how much insurance you require. To determine the coverage you need, you’ll want to consider several factors, including your age, number of dependents, your income and that of your spouse and the size of your mortgage.
It is with great pleasure that Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) congratulates the following students on being named to the Summer 2022 Dean’s List. The summer terms run from May to August. Full-time undergraduate students who have earned a minimum grade-point average of 3.500 to 3.699 for the reporting term are named to the Dean’s List. Full-time status is achieved by earning 12 credits over each 16-week term or paired eight-week terms grouped in fall, winter/spring, and summer. Named were: Carrielynn Bryan of Mount Vernon, Sabastian Brown of Evansville, and Stacey Jennings of Evansville.
Time. Time is a sneaky animal. It comes and goes silently, many times we are not aware where it went. Part of the lyrics of a Pink Floyd song (yeah, Pink Floyd) says: “And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.” So true. Anyone else ever felt that they have squandered time at some point in their life? We always hear people asking “Where did all those years go?” They are gone. Not coming back. Ever. Now is the time to act, before it is too late... not “maybe later”. Do not put off getting right with God or witnessing to others. Time may not be in your favor.Amen.
You probably won’t see it on your calendar, but September is Life Insurance Awareness Month. And it is indeed important to be aware of the importance of life insurance. Are you adequately insured?
Many people aren’t. About 40 percent of Americans face some type of life insurance gap, either because they’re uninsured or underinsured, according to a 2021 survey by the research and advocacy groups LIMRA and Life

Knowing how much coverage you need is obviously important, but you’ll also want to consider what type of life insurance is right for you. You have two basic choices: term or permanent insurance.
Are You Properly Insured?
Peter 3:15 Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it. Witness to them while we still have time. It is our duty.
Others, however, disagree, and point to the benefits of permanent insurance, such as the ability to borrow against the cash value of a policy to pay for unexpected expenses. Ultimately, in making the choice between term and permanent insurance, you’ll need to look at your entire financial picture to determine which option is best for you.
who never attend church. They haven’t given over their lives to Jesus and think that maybe they still have plenty of time left to commit. But do they have plenty of time? How does anyone know how much time is left for them? Giving your heart and soul over to God is serious business that should not wait. One second, one minute, one hour, one day, one week, one month, one year, could be your last one lived. We must encourage those people to come to Christ. 1
There are outside influences thrown in that you can’t control like weather, disease and insects. You can’t plan for them and you just have to deal with them all on the fly.

It is possible Russia and China just want to confer on the relative merits of their national ballet companies and the ten billion cubic meters of national gas Putin promised to Xi in their February meeting. Or perhaps Putin and Xi want to compare notes on how each can continue in power beyond the traditional terms of prior Chinese and Russian presidents.

Each year I have watched (and occasionally helped) as Mount Vernon, then New Harmony, and then Poseyville hold their annual festivals. Each year, I am more amazed at the reason the majority of the people can enjoy the work of a minimum number of people. It’s all about volunteering.
Publisher: Dave Pearce
Could it be so? Had I solved the dilemma of growing sunflower plants. Looking around, I saw neighbors whose sunflower seeds were already in bloom and figured I’d have to wait until next year to even give this a second thought.
As for me, I think Pelosi or anyone else ought to have the right to visit Taiwan and, I think, Ukraine’s territorial integrity should be respected. Of course, I find it difficult to analyze the motivations of China, Russia or even my own country when it comes to engagement in foreign wars unless one is attacked. It seems to me our Constitution’s provision for military defense, not offense, makes sense. But then I am not in charge of our foreign policy. If I had been, Viet Nam, Iraq and Afghanistan might have unfolded differently and maybe Ukraine and Taiwan too. Those are matters our elected leaders are much more informed upon, I hope.

Could’ve beenPuttingbetter up with crap can yield sunflowers
But I allowed the plants to grow. And what seemed to be just days later, it appeared that I might actually have a sunflower bloom this year. And all from a volunteer plant. How exciting would that be?
When birds eat a lot of seeds out of your bird feeders, the natural progression of things means that someplace not too far from the place where the birds eat the seeds, they will be dumped out the other end of the bird. Low and behold, about three or four weeks later I began to see some sunflower plants making their way out of the ground.
In the letter, they state that the extra money will go towards improving the mobile home park, though no improvements have been made upon the purchase of the park. They told us in the letter that they will be issuing new leases for everyone in the coming months. My understanding is that they cannot cancel out my current lease for any reason except non-payment of rent, which is never been an issue with my family. In addition, they are trying to force us to pay an additional $220 in lot rent every month without even having a lease that dictates that, if they could even give a new lease by canceling another one.
In production agriculture whether your raising animals or crops, you only get one chance a year to get it right. If you have a crop failure you can’t run down to the local store and pick up a new one and start again, it just don’t work that way. If you have an animal die it’s the sameYouthing.getone chance per cycle to get it right or you just miss out and have to wait. Nature holds the reset button and you can’t expedite it… you can only wait it out and hope to start again on the next one.
We live on this rock that moves at around 800mph… and our rock is moving through space at 66,627mph… vegetable farming runs about the same pace. We are running hard all the time from tillage to harvest, and being from the desert southwest, we never stop. Seems like one crop is going in while another crop is always coming off. You have to really be on top of things to make sure that when harvest comes you’ve done the best you can do to make a quality crop with the best yields you can. It’s organized caos while striving for perfection… or as close as you can get.

On the other hand, I suggest the two leaders may be getting together to discuss their largest common problem, us. Not much information was released from their conference in Beijing in February and almost no advanced agenda has been published for their Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit. My suspicion is the name “Shanghai” was not chosen idly. It may be that China is reminding the United States of
Harmony is a volunteer community,” he said. Most anyone can say that and you just think they are being nice complimenting others who have labored tirelessly alongside them in their quest to make our Posey County communities just a little bit brighter for each other and the individuals who reside in them and others who have once called them home but no longer live here. But it’s always pleasant remembering those who have remained close to the area and kept the “home” fires burning while others headed off to other parts of the country to pursue their dreams and passions and to try to make a better life for themselves.Thefactthere are so many volunteers in a county the size of Posey is not only amazing but is incredibly commendable.

Instead of focusing on the things I could’ve done better… I should be grateful for the blessings I’ve been given.

beautiful sunflowers like other people in the area. I’ve had my share of success with garden vegetables, reseeded yards, trees, and even several plants that most others in the area have difficulty keeping healthy. Just prior to the beginning of the annual Posey County community celebrations, the answer may have been dropped to me.
So looking back is a waste of time, and what’s done is done.
Russia and China share some common borders on the eastern and western edges of both countries and share one main nemesis, America. On September 15 and 16, 2022 Xi and Putin will meet face to face at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in the city of Samarkand, Uzbekistan. The United States is not invited.

About three or four years ago, I began to enjoying watching God’s little flying creation…the birds. I became a sort of a volunteer by putting out several bird feeders and keeping them replenished while getting a closer look at the cardinals, the hummingbirds, the red-winged blackbirds, the mockingbirds, the woodpeckers and on and on.
Where do we turn?
As I have watched the plants and the flowers grow, I have compared it to the volunteers we have in Posey County. Volunteers here predominantly go unnoticed but there is absolutely no way the general public could enjoy the county as much as they do without the volunteers.Sometimes, just as with my birds, it takes some crap to make the seeds grow. It is likely that not a single bird dropped all the sunflower seeds now growing alongside my garage. It takes many. The more the merrier. The more volunteers you end up with, the more likelihood of more crap that has been spread. But the volunteers don’t give up. They take the crap in stride and use it for fertilizer to make things grow and prosper. And chances are, when the call out is given the following year, the same and maybe even some new volunteers will be on call to take the same doo-doo

We are at the end of our rope on what we can do, because if we were fused to pay the extra $250 a month, we all have to face the possibility that the new management will attempt to file an eviction on us. Even if there is no legal recourse and they cannot evict us for this reason, they could come up with other reasons to evict us, and for those of us who have never had an issue with being evicted, having that on our record will impact our future capabilities.

As Kunstfest and Autumnfest come up over the next couple of weekends. Please realize how many people have gone out of their way to give you an opportunity to take advantage of life in a small town.They know there is a lot of work and no pay involved and they know they will face their share of crap.
I am writing this as a hope to get new information out.
This year, in my quest to bring birds nearer my windows, I moved the bird feeders nearer the house. Once they become accustomed to activities inside the windows, they get more and more comfortable showing their brilliant colors to those just inside the windows. I enjoyed their singing and taking pictures of them. But guess what, still no sunflowers.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, on an invitation from Chinese President Xi Jinping, attended the China Winter Olympic Games in Beijing. Twenty days later Russia invaded Ukraine.

I am a hard working 911 dispatcher, and my wife works as a qma in a nursing home. We don’t receive any type of welfare or community assistance. We pay our bills and maintain our own lives. Earlier this year we purchased a trailer from the Mount Vernon Mobile home Park on Lee Drive. The way that we saw it at the time was that we could purchase a cheap trailer, fix it up and repair it, stay in it for a few years, save up our money, and buy a home. Our lot rent is $300.Anew company purchased the mobile home park without telling any of us tenants that it was moving to another company, and we all received a letter at the beginning of September telling us that they were going to increase the lot rent from $300 to $550 beginning October. Not only is this an egregious amount for an increase, they have no reason

He said he has no control over them really. He added he can mention something to the EMA Director, though the city sirens are activated if there is any alert issued for Posey County. Councilman Hoehn asked who decides when they are activated? Chief Dixon replied the National Weather Service in Paducah, Kentucky and then the EMA activates the county sirens.Under Legals, County Attorney Beth Higgins explained they need an ordinance to add seven lots to the list of city parcels for sale. These lots are now vacant, and city money was invested for their demolition. The city would like to sell these and recoup some money. The lots are: 718 Mills, 628 W. Sixth, 613 Wolflin, 431 Vine, 417 W. Fourth, 421 E. Ninth and 137 W. Ninth Streets. Higgins added the city just sold two prior lots that day for $7,000 each, so that money will now go back to the city coffers. The ordinance approving the seven sales unanimously passed 4-0 as 22-19.

Mayor Bill Curtis said the owner of the new Maria’s Mexican Grill brought in proper insurance forms and discussed the fence to be put up around the city trash receptacles the restaurant will lease. The city prefers no chain link fence, but rather a solid plastic white panel. The site will house both the restaurant trash and grease receptacles. Hoehn asked what size it is going to be for both. Curtis replied the trash receptacle will be the same size as other ones seen around town. Hoehn questioned the size of the grease receptacle and Mayor Curtis replied it will be considerably larger, requiring the fence to be about three feet longer. The Mayor estimated probably a 6’ x 4’ area, with the grease receptacle, maybe a total of 10’ x 4’. Board

“We just started really bad and a credit to our team, they regrouped and stayed the course and executed better and better as the night went on,” Schenk said. “Our kids showed some grit because Tell City had some celebrations going on and they were honoring some people and it was a little bit of a hostile environment. Our confidence was rattled after last week. We’re still very young and on the road and coming off a thumping.”Afterthe first possession turned out the way it did, Schenk said he had to wonder how his team was going to ultimately respond to a week like they had before.

Evencontrol.Viking Coach Waylon Schenk could tell that his team was a little slow to get untracked when they traveled to Tell City on Friday night for a critical Pocket Athletic Conference game. But after just a few minutes in, Schenk began to feel good about the state of the team and the players never let him down. They left Perry County with a 35-7 win.“We didn’t execute anything early,” Schenk said following the game. “Our opening drive could not have gone worse. We took the opening kick-off and got a couple of first downs and we knew then we were going to take a shot downfield. We did and we had Christian Hall wide open and we overthrew him by 10 yards. The next play our tailback went the wrong way and it was a busted play. We ended up punting and the ball went way over the punter’s head and we gave them the ball at the 25-yard line. That short field was the only score they got all night.”

Coming into this game, the North Posey Junior High seventh and eighth grade football teams were both undefeated. The Vikings faced a tough Heritage Hills team last Thursday night. Both North Posey teams fought to the end but came up short when time expired. The seventh grade lost 46-36 and the eighth grade took a 38-28 loss. A few costly plays could have turned the tables in these matchups. For the season, both seventh and eighth grade teams have three wins and one loss.

The Vikings wasted little time finding an answer for the early score as Stone settled down and threw a 16-yard pass to Hall for a touchdown and when Kaleb Herke hit the extra point, the score would be tied at the end of the first period at seven.
The Vikings played good defense the second quarter but a pass from Stone to Jackson Graff for 61 yards and a touchdown just a little over a minute before half-time seemed to give the Vikings what they needed.

Tuesday, September 13, 2022 2022TT P C N Following his dreams, Hardin lands in the right places
Long-time Posey County resident Bill Hardin landed his first job with the Evansville Courier in 1964, straight out of Evansville College (now University of Evansville) with a bachelor’s degree in journalism. He worked for the Courier and for the Press seven years each before he launched his second career as a self-employed hunting dog trainer for 25 years.
September 18 - Ben Parker, Caitlyn Dawn Creek, Le-
Under the supervision of a seasoned hunter and family friend, Bill embarked on his first waterfowl shoot full of expectation. The first weekend of the goose season, the teen and his hunting mentor had no success. The second weekend, things changed.
He is so devoted to ducks and geese and to his hunting trips, he carves his own decoys, brews Tim Horton [Canada] coffee, and drinks from a “Canada” coffee mug.

Bill credits his first wife as a partner in the dog training and as a talented artist rendering dog portraits for clients. They ran field trials with Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, and Chesapeake Bay Retrievers.
In addition, Bill trained a variety of breeds in obedience. “A retriever—the first thing you teach him is how to be a quiet, well-behaved animal,” he explains.
When a close friend of Bill’s died within six months after becoming ill, Bill vowed to keep a youthful, positive outlook on life and to cherish every moment. He believes this attitude has a lot to do with his longevity, which he doesn’t take for granted.Hesums up his life philosophy. “You don’t have that many days on this earth,” he comments. “So, I made up my mind that I was going to smell the roses and enjoy myself as I went along. Being able to live a life where you do a lot of things you truly love and take care of yourself reasonably well—you just live longer.”
Bill Hardin Heilman and Bill Heilman
He describes what his job at Hovey Lake has meant to him. “How much better could this job be? I mean you’re outdoors every day, and you’re doing the things you love.
His hunting interests in ducks and geese and working with his own hunting dogs piqued his interest in training dogs. Yet, an article in the Evansville Press directed Bill to Richland City, Indiana, for his own training workshop with a well-known hunting dog trainer. It convinced him to start his hunting dog training business in 1978.

“The basic principle is the same for all dogs.”Personal circumstances caused Bill to end his business. So, in 2006, he joined the team at Hovey Lake FWA. His second wife passed away afterward in 2015. Bill is still blessed with a son and a daughter.

Today, he manages a third career, started in 2006, as a property worker for Hovey Lake Fish and Wildlife Area, or Hovey Lake FWA, in Mount Vernon. He holds the distinction of being the oldest employee on the Hovey Lake FWA team. Bill turns 80 years old on December 14.
It was heaven sent,” he comments. “I’m still contributing, and I certainly enjoy it.”
“I ran trials from Wisconsin to Florida,” he states. “We’d go to Florida in February and start running trials. We’d come
So, what prompted a successful newspaperman to end his initial career as the weekly outdoor columnist, advancing to Tri-State Editor with the Evansville Press? As a 13-year-old, he heard the call of the wild—wild geese, that is—on his first waterfowl hunt at Hovey Lake in 1956. In becoming a hunting dog trainer, he finally answered the call to become a full-time outdoorsman rather than to write about it.
Bill has claimed hunting ducks and geese as “my total hunting interests.”
Birthdays
The experience determined Bill’s destiny as a lifetime waterfowl hunter. In addition to hunting ducks and geese at Hovey Lake FWA, he has made a total of 70 waterfowl hunting trips in the U.S. and, primarily, in Southern Canada, from 1977 to 2021. He hopes to travel to South Dakota or to Northern Wisconsin on another waterfowl hunting trip later thisSoyear.far,

“The second weekend of the season,” Bill recalls, “we were in a blind on the south end of Hovey, and he [Bill’s hunting mentor] called three geese in, and we shot them. I shot one, and he killed the other two. Mine had a Jack Miner [famous naturalist] band with a Biblical verse on it. Mine said, ‘I walk among you.’ So, I feel like the good Lord does walk among us with the beautiful waterfowl and all the things of nature.”
