BWX plans multi-million dollar expansion Council passes tax abatement for local plant

By Lois Mittino Gray BWX Technologies Plant Services Manager Guy Jackson announced some great news for Posey County at the September 11, County Council meeting. The business is planning a multi-million dollar expansion at its Mount Vernon facility that would result in an estimated 67 new jobs by 2021, with an average wage rate of

$33.38 per hour. Jackson pointed out that not only does this mean a larger local workforce with more high-paying jobs, but it also gives Posey County the potential for more property tax revenue and increased use of local businesses.

In presenting a tax abatement application to Council members, Jackson said the expansion would be for more than $80 million over

four years and would include updates to their buildings and new equipment. “We feel a positive relationship with the county,” Jackson said. Councilman Bob Gentil inquired if the company is still working mainly federal job contracts. Jackson replied in the affirmative, explaining the business produces nuclear components for naval nuclear submarines and the

United States government.

Before scoring the abatement request, Council President Heather Allyn asked what BWXT does as a community partner. “It’s also part of our culture to be good corporate citizens. We support the Day of Caring and United Way, the Posey County Community Foundation, Habitat for Humanity and other local organizations. In addition, several of our employees go to local schools and Ivy Tech and give career day talks and sci-

ence lessons,” Jackson replied.

Councilman Dave Pearce asked how many of the BWXT employees reside in Posey County. Jackson was unsure of the percentage, but said the Human Resource Department gives out lists of local realtors to contact and gives local tours to prospective employees, but “it’s their personal decision to make.”

MV Christmas event to see layout changes

Paving drop-offs set for opposite side of MV road

By Lois Mittino Gray In a special announcement made at the September 13, Mount Vernon Common Council Meeting, Councilwoman Becky Higgins declared, “I decided to jazz up the Christmas on Main Street parade this year. It’s not going to go anywhere, but will remain stationary. It’s going to be more like a two hour Christmas Carnival.”

Councilwoman Higgins said that many vendors who had booths at the rain-plagued River Days Festival this past weekend asked her if they could do something at Christmas to make up for the poor sales profit loss. She explained that the illuminated parade floats will stay in one place on the streets downtown, while Christmas carolers, other performers, and vendors, will be spread out among them. Food booths, such as the local Boy Scout troop selling hot chocolate and Three Chicks Fudgery selling Christmas candies, will supply the calories to stay warm and well-fed. Floats may be rolled in or built at their site on the assigned spot.

“Many communities are going to this type of so-

By Lois Mittino Gray They’ll be back! The pesky four inch dropoffs on Fourth Street that irritated drivers all summer long will return to the other side of the street on September 24. Mount Vernon Mayor Bill Curtis read a letter aloud during the September 13, Board of Public Works meeting from Casey A. Lasher, Vice-President of Operations at JBI Construction, Inc. Lasher advised that on Friday, September 14, a new configuration in the Phase 3 area of the Fourth Street Project will commence.

The eastbound lane will be closed the entire length of Highway 62/ Fourth Street from just east of Barter Street to just east of Tile Factory Road. Two-way traffic will be maintained in the newly-paved westbound lane. Eastbound traffic will use the center lane.

The letter states that milling will begin on or about September 24 in the closed eastbound lane. “This will create a four inch drop-off from the center lane to local residences and businesses on the south side of the road. This

Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth attended to announce that another Active Shooter Drill is scheduled for the afternoon of September 19 at the junior high school and September 20 at the high school.

Dates for drills at the other MSDMV buildings have not been scheduled as yet.

Law officers from many departments and the County Emergency Management teams will participate in the drill for teachers and staff. “We had the last one four years ago. We want the current staff to review procedure and hear all the sounds firsthand.

It will involve shooting blanks out of firearms. We want no scares, so we’re announcing it to the public. It does not involve the students since it will be af-

Primitive ways: White Buffalo Booth new at Harvest Craft Fair

Gordon Barnett II shows off his period clothing, tools and weapons recently. Photo by Lois Mittino Gray

By Lois Mittino Gray Gordon Barnett II would like to show you how an atlatl was used long ago by primitive hunters. As part of his White Buffalo Booth at the Harmonie State Park Harvest Craft Fair, he will be in costume demonstrating his handmade atlatls, tomahawks, and flint napped points. A first-time exhibitor, he calls himself “the new kid on the block” at the annual event slated for Saturday, September 22 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the swimming pool parking lot. Gate admission will be free as it is National Public Lands Day all around the country on that date.

An atlatl is a slightly curved piece of wood, ivory, or bone hunting tool device used for throwing a spear or dart greater distances. One end is hooked, and the hook fits into the nock end of a separate spear shaft. The throwing arm together with the atlatl acts as a lever for more speed and distance. Spear throwers are a significant technological improvement on simply throwing or thrusting a spear, in terms of safety, speed, distance, and accuracy.

Barnett, a Poseyville resident, has been making unusual handcrafted items like these for over 25 years. His father became very interested in atlatls after reading the Jean Auel Clan of the Cave Bear books and had become a member of the World Atlatl Society.

Now retired, his son will demonstrate its use on the outside of his booth

where he will sell his handmade wares.

In addition, Barnett will sell his half log benches with custom inlay designs.

The benches are hewn from a variety of woods, including cherry, walnut, cedar, sassafras, tulip poplar, birch, beech and sycamore. The inlay designs are fashioned from many diverse materials, such as stained glass, assorted woods, sand, seashells, and even peacock feathers.

The Tenth Annual Harvest Weekend Craft Fair is loaded chock full of activities for all ages to enjoy in the warm autumn sunshine. “We have a wide array of craft vendors signed up this year and lots of good things to eat,” said Janet Werry, Fair Coordinator and Park Office Manager. “We started this with only five vendors ten years ago and this year we already have 44 registered for booths.”

Vendors will be selling wire wrapped and spoon jewelry, handcrafted toy boxes and tables, crocheted and knitted items, suncatchers and garden glass objects, wreaths and wooden signs, handmade soaps, and even boasts a booth selling “homemade slimes.” A variety of food booths are set to please the palate with homemade bread, jams, jellies, cookies, candies, kettle corn and biscuits and gravy. The Greased Lightning Food Truck will be on hand, as well as the New Harmony Fire Department selling hamburgers,

hot dogs, nachos and their famous ribbon fries. Poseyville Masonic Lodge will be selling homemade vanilla ice cream.

According to Werry, there will be inflatables and a climbing wall, fire truck rides, and the Survive a Fire House. Conservation officers will involve children and adults alike in practicing archery skills. A naturalist will be on duty to let visitors hold a Corn Snake or Garter Snake on display, if desired. In addition, Wesselman Park Nature Center in Evansville will bring some special animals for educational talks.

Other educational displays include pioneer Dutch Oven cooking, candle making, basket making, and wild edibles demonstrations by Amelia Wildeman, Park Naturalist . Local mushroom man David Hazlett, aka Morel Dawg, will have a booth set up to teach about local mushroom identification. He plans to lead a foray into the woods on Saturday at 10 a.m. from his booth.

A Deejay will play music at the event while children enjoy the inflatables and firetruck rides. The Life Flight Helicopter may stop by if it is available.

Everyone is welcome to attend this free family fun event. For more information or to register as a vendor , call Werry at 812. 682.4821 or stop by the park office.

Audra Brown Audra Rose (Stephens) Brown, age 48, Newburgh, Ind., passed away at 2:05 p.m. on Sunday, August 26, 2018, from an ongoing battle with Multiple Myeloma, a terminal blood cancer since January 31, 2013.

Audra Rose was born March 18, 1970, to John and Brenda (Robertson) Stephens. She grew up in a town called Yankeetown and spent many hours at her beloved grandparent’s house where she shared a special bond with her grandfather, “Pops.”

Audra Rose always had a love of learning about everything during her school years and kept that quest for knowledge throughout her entire life constantly reading about science and the yet-to-be-discovered. She was a graduate of U.S.I. with a degree in Dental Hygiene.

After working fifteen years in healthcare, Audra Rose left her career and became a stay-at-home mother to her most treasured person in the world, her beloved daughter, Roma. She prayed for a baby to come into her life for five years and fought a painful debilitating cancer day after day just to spend one more day with her precious child. Audra Rose had a chiweenie dog named Chance, who was her constant companion and best buddy. She spent her entire life devoted to animals; she rescued and cared for all creatures, both large and small.

Audra Rose regarded all life as sacred and loved all things nostalgic that reminded her of simpler times. She loved watching movies, especially old monster movies and anything science fiction related.

She is survived by her husband of twenty-one years, Chris Brown; beloved daughter, Roma Alayna Brown; mother, Brenda Stephens, father and mother-in-law Roger and Judy Brown of Poseyville, Ind. She is preceded in death by her father, John Stephens.

Mass of Christian burial was held on Friday, August 31, 2018, at Saint Rupert’s Catholic Church, 1244 Red Brush Road, Newburgh with Father Jack Durchholz and Father Ralph Schipp officiating. Burial was in Saint Rupert’s Catholic Cemetery.

Special thanks to Kindred Hospice.

Love affair with wrong car Madeleine, it is kind

B of both amazing and C P totally scary how fast

unpredicted things can change our lives. Last week’s column, written over a week before it appeared in the paper, spoke of my new Jeep Cherokee. At the time I wrote it, I was trying to ignore one little problem. I could not see over the driver’s side mirror, especially at four-way stops. After three incidents when I realized I would have to be vigilant for as long as I drove the Cherokee, I came to the expensive and painful decision that I needed to choose another vehicle.

On a very long and stressful Tuesday, I spent over eight hours at the Expressway Mount Vernon, complex. I assumed that it would be a regrettable decision, ďŹ nancially. However, also realizing the possible future accidents, I forged ahead.

Perhaps someone taller than I am, especially in torso, will end up driving the Cherokee for years with no incident. Except for that one thing, it is sweet vehicle.

As with most of life’s happenings, I seek to believe that much of our experiences, as we blindly trudge through our allotted days on the planet, are as they are supposed to be. I left the Jeep building and went to Chevy showroom. I had earlier in the year checked out the Equinox, and decided to give it a second look. I was already striving to ignore the monetary outcome.

Upon entering the door, I saw a beautiful piece of automotive bliss. It seemed to be calling my name. Almost before I began to tell my tale of woe to the salesman, I was already in love with this shiny red marvel. It was a 2018 GMC Terrain Denali, and was sporting a discounted price tag.

This instant infatuation with the Terrain soothed the stupidity and helplessness I felt about the Cherokee. It took hours to â€œďŹ xâ€? the problem, and seeing the actual ďŹ gures was enough to make my stomach do ips, but in the end, I know the switch will be much better.

I had a temporary crush on the Cherokee, but I found a lifelong love with the Terrain. It feels right in all ways; everything seems better for me. If there is any life lesson here that I can pass down to you, Madeleine, I guess it is what I am always saying to you. Important choices in your life should be lingered over, and carefully examined.

Yeah, this whole car thing is gonna make me feel really dumb for a while, despite my second choice being much better in the long run. You can embrace this whole thing and perhaps it will serve to help you, as you enter the period of your life that many major decisions are made.

As I have said before, you are a very mature and responsible young lady. However, it is so easy to have inuences you do not expect turn your head. Teenage girls are vulnerable to popular fellas, who drive hot cars and seem exciting and popular. However, this is not the best criteria for a partner in

Some fellow students may appear to be the “in crowd� but their idea of having fun might not be where you want to be.

Even deciding on a college or career should be a long process of choosing well. Some students change their majors and end up in a vastly dierent ďŹ eld of study.

Yes, life is ďŹ lled with having to place one’s feet on the best path. It is almost always hard to peer around the corners and predict an outcome of today’s actions.

Please use this unfortunate bout of temporary insanity I was stricken with to help you see around some of those inevitable corners coming up for you.

When I look back at many of the truths I knew, but ignored, I see how much people can hide from what they don’t want to believe. This is especially true of people; I tried to see the best parts of some of my employees, even when everyone told me they were thieves, drug dealers, and liars.

I tried not to be surprised when they proved to be what I had known all along.

We see stories like this on television all the time. Someday, when it no longer matters, I plan to write a tell-all book.

So, Madeleine, remember, no matter how much we make ourselves believe in something, or somebody, we can’t bend the truth. Good luck, little red Cherokee; I am sure you will ďŹ nd someone else to love you. We just were not right for each other.

‘Christmas on Main Street’ continued from Page A1 cial event. Usually after a parade, many people get in their cars after ten minutes and go home,” she explained. “It also gives the float judges a lot more time to judge each one and walk around it. I have it planned so that the American Legion and their flags will be at the head of the line in the first spot, as they usually are the first thing you see in a parade. ” Christmas on Main Street is scheduled for Saturday, December 1 with a time tentatively-set from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. “We’ll try it this year and see how it goes,” Higgins said, with enthusiasm.

She invited interested persons to a planning meeting on Thursday, September 20 at 6 p.m. at the Police and Fire Station Building.

City Attorney Beth McFadin Higgin stressed that the Chamber of Commerce will still have Santa and Mrs. Claus in the Pagoda for visitation and gifts earlier that day in the afternoon as they usually do.

In other council action:

• Under Old Business, Mayor Curtis spoke about the Main Street Project.

They do not have enough information in yet to take care of anything at this meeting. He reminded them that the bids came in too high over estimate for the grant to be awardable. The city council does have options, but members need to know what the scope of the project will be. Possibilities are to drop it completely or alter the scope and rebid the project. Lochmueller Group is presently working on an alternate scope to hopefully bring it down to an awardable range. The earliest they could do a rebid would be in December.

Mayor Curtis added they need to have a discussion in the next week or so to follow the timeline. A special meeting will to be called when the prepared numbers are ready to peruse. Comparing calendars, council members selected Wednesday the 19 and Monday the 24 as possible dates.

The mayor said he would

get back with them as soon as possible, as forty eight hours newspaper notice to the public is required.

Councilman Andy Hoehn asked if they will be able to show differences in what was bid versus what they are proposing and note all the changes. Mayor Curtis replied yes, and added Lochmueller will show what would be removed from the project to lessen its cost.

• On the LARE river erosion grant, Mayor Curtis said he received the contract, signed it, and sent it back to Indianapolis. After that business is all complete, letters will be sent to firms that do this kind of work/ design and are also on the DNR approved bidders list.

He concluded by stating the project must be finished by December of 2020.

--Utilities Superintendent Chuck Gray stated the VacCon truck and crew flushed 12,380-feet of sewer main this month. Gray also reported they recently replaced 350 feet of 6-inch main on Elm Street, as well

as replaced a hydrant.

•Third District Councilman Hoehn stated they had a good rain on Saturday and Country Club Road did great, with no water across the road. He gave it “two thumbs up.”

• Mayor Curtis told the council that, in reference to Fourth Street, he received an email today from JBI, the working contractor, stating that on September 14, there would be a new traffic configuration for Phase 3. From Barter Street to Tile Factory Road, the eastbound lane will be closed. There will be two-way traffic on the newly paved westbound section and the middle lane.Milling will begin September 24 and the four inch drop-offs will be back again.

• Clerk-Treasurer Christi Sitzman opened three sealed bids in the order received on the sale of the Water Department’s 1978 Chevy work truck. They were as follows: Roger Bebout $550, Boaz Price $228, Matt Edmonds $500. Board member Williams moved Bebout’s high bid be accepted.

asked Jackson to get the figure and send it to the County Auditor as it would be a good number to know and the others agreed. He also encouraged the company to consider having an incentive program for those who choose to reside in the county.

All Council members then individually scored the company using a standard form.

The company scored a 90, well over the 72 points required to attain abatement. Wilson made the motion to grant the abatement, with Pearce seconding it. The motion carried to give BWXT an abatement maximum of ten years on real property and seven years on equipment and personal property.

President Allyn noted that the numerical values now need to be advertised for ten days.

Then, a special meeting to prepare the declaratory statement will be will be held on October 2 at 10 a.m. right after the Posey County Commissioners meeting. The confirmatory statement will be passed at the regularly scheduled Council

meeting on October 9.

This new project was nicknamed “Project Pepper.”

Jackson joked during the tax abatement compliance review of one granted in 2016 that it must be “Project Salt.”

During that review, Jackson said he was pleased to announce that all requirements for employee hiring were met in the first year. 101 new employees were added at an hourly salary range of $29.22$35.00.

Councilman Don Mattingly made the motion to continue the 2016 abatement and Councilwoman Stefani Miller seconded it. It passed, with Councilman Wilson adding, “We would appreciate if your company would consider giving an incentive to your employees to live in the county. We give you these abatements, and it would be nice to get something back.

We can’t tell your company what to do, of course. But we sure would appreciate it.”

Jackson said he would take the idea back to the company for discussion.

‘Drop-offs’ continued from Page A1 drop-off will be maintained with temporary asphalt and/ or additional milling. This traffic pattern will be in place for approximately four weeks for patching, curb and gutter replacement, new ADA curb ramps, and new asphalt for the east bound lane,” Lasher wrote.

The entire project should be complete by October 31, 2018.

In other board action: --Police Chief Tony Alldredge requested permission to send Animal Control Officer Gene Youngblood to a one-day Animal Control Training on October 6 in Zionsville. He was granted use of the city credit card and city vehicle.

--Fire Chief Wes Dixon also asked permission for use of the city credit card at the West side Office Depot to buy a new laptop Computer, not to exceed $700. It will replace a 2006 model that will not run a current program.

The purchase was approved.

Board member Larry Williams asked if Dixon uses Office Depot a lot, because they have a rewards program that is very good. Chief Dixon replied he will sign up for that now that he has been made aware of it.

--Chief Alldredge reported they’ve had 227 calls since the last meeting, while Chief Dixon concluded his report by stating they had 47 calls.

--Utilities Superintendent Chuck Gray explained that check valves one and three have been replaced at the sewage treatment facility, so the pumps are back in service.

His department has flushed 12,380 feet of sewer main this month, almost two miles.

--There was no Street Department report this meeting.

--Mayor Curtis postponed opening quotes on the demolition of 421 East Ninth Street, until the next meeting. There was a typo on the deadline date in the letter that originally went out, so it had to be resent.

Getting Fit in New Harmony just got easier

About two dozen residents came out on Monday, September 10 for the kick off of fitness instructor John Nordgauer’s new exercise classes at the beautiful Ribeyre Gymnasium in New Harmony.

As the “Hi/Low Impact” class began, the sounds of high energy workout music and John’s microphone echoed down main street as many - who admittedly had not worked out in quite some time - jumped right in and had a great time getting healthier.

Mr. Nordgauer has been an instructor for over 20 years and works hard to present a class that is thoughtful of both new and experienced participants. “I’m very proud of everyone who came for our first class… it’s not easy to get back into an exercise routine, but, they saw how we can do it all together and have fun at the same time. Now… we have to keep going,” he said with a smile.

John’s “Hi/Low Impact” aerobic class will be held every Monday and Wednesday

Anniversary

at 5:30 p.m. at the Ribeyre Gymnasium in New Harmony. Everyone is welcome. The cost is only $5. Participants are asked to bring water, a mat and weights if you want a more intense workout.

Posey County Bar Association named United Way Pacesetter This year, the Posey County Bar Association is a Pacesetter for the United Way campaign. They will run their campaign early and results will be announced at the United Way of Posey County campaign kickoff on September 28. This early support and enthusiasm will help to get this year’s campaign off to a good start.

The approximately two dozen members of the Posey County Bar Association had an outstanding campaign last year and continue their support of the United Way of Posey County again this year.

Donald Baier, immediate past-president of the Posey County Bar Association said, “The attorneys of Posey County are proud to be a part of the United Way campaign in Posey County. Donations from the Posey County attorneys last year totaled more than $8,200, and we expect to surpass that this year. We are all pleased to be able to help make a difference in our community.”

In addition to supporting the United Way, Posey County attorneys’ community involvement includes the Ford Home Board, the Board of Trustees of the Workingmen’s Institute, the Willow Tree of Posey County Board, the Volunteer Lawyers Program Board, serving on the United Way of Posey County Board of Directors, and the Posey County Historical Society Board, and the Catholic Charities Board.

Attorneys in Posey County also serve on the Southwestern Indiana Behavioral Board, as a Boy Scouts of America Scout Master, and coaching youth baseball and basketball. They are Kiwanis, in the American Legion, active in their churches and local government, in Under the Beams, and ECHO Health and Outreach Ministries.

They volunteer for the Talk to a Lawyer Program, as a YWCA Live Y’ers Mentor, and for the Saint Vincent DePaul Society, and they are United Way of Posey County campaign volunteers.

Gretchen Mansfield, 2018 United Way of Posey County President, said, “The Posey County United Way volunteers are pleased

and excited to have the Posey County Bar Association as a Pacesetter this year. It is great to have them involved early with all their enthusiasm.”

This year’s goal is $650,000. Funds raised in the United Way Campaign go to support 18 local agencies and numerous programs that provide services to the people of Posey County, including 2-1-1, the easyto-remember number to call for information and assistance about needs and resources, and the prescription drug discount program.

Family man: Loved ones remind Robinson to cherish each day

By Pam Robinson More people are looking straight into the Golden Years than like to admit it.

A quick conversation with Alexa or Google will lay out the facts: after age 65, men and women have entered their Golden Years.

With fewer years ahead of them than behind them, wise people age 65 plus understand each day of life is a treasure as precious as pure gold. Even if they are still active in the workforce, as more and more seniors are, they pace themselves to enjoy and appreciate life’s most precious moments with family, friends, and their Maker.

In this Golden Years feature series, we hope to honor seniors in the early as well as the late decades of the Golden Years. Seniors in their 60s and 70s can offer great insight into different ways to transition into the Golden Years and face the inevitable limits and lessons learned during that time.

My husband, Jim Robinson, has agreed to be featured as the first senior under age 80 in the Golden Years series. Four words spring to mind when describing his life’s journey: stability and strength, goodness and gentleness. To put up with me during 29 years of marriage, one would add the word longsuffering to the description. A long-time friend teases me my marriage has withstood the test of time because God matched me with a saint, Saint Jim. I would never argue the point.

A long-time Mount Vernon resident, Jim was the oldest of five children to bless the late J. L. and Pearl Robinson. The 71-year-old was born December 5, 1946, but his earliest memories flash back to northern Florida, where his parents moved less than a year after his birth. The family lived first in Greensboro, Fla., then in Sneeds, Fla., until finally J.L.’s construction work moved them to Fort Gaines, Ga., to work on dams in that area.

The move allowed Jim to attend fifth through twelfth grades in a single school system. He graduated from Clay County High School with the Class of 1964, a class totaling 26 graduates — 20 boys and six girls.

Outdoor life attracted Jim then rather than girls. He didn’t even ask a girl out on a date while in high school. He hunted and fished and belonged to Future Farmers of America, or FFA, all four years of high school.

His favorite day at high school was always Track and Field Day. Clay County High School had only two sports teams, bas-

The Golden Years

ketball and baseball. With no track team to showcase its student athletes, Track and Field Day allowed runners to shine.

“I excelled at track,” Jim recalls. “I always took medals in the 100-yard dash, the high jump, and the broad jump. I loved Track and Field Day.” He loved basketball also, and he performed well in tryouts.

“Once the coach found out I was vision impaired in my left eye, though, he wouldn’t put me on the team. I was crushed.”

Soon enough, Jim discovered, as the saying asserts, “Home is where your story begins,” and family life more than compensated for his disappointment in losing out on participation in high school sports. His dad moved once more for construction work, this time to Mount Vernon to help build the Uniontown Locks.

As a new high school graduate, Jim was excited to work on the project also as a surveyor.

He continued as a local surveyor for a few years after the Uniontown Locks were completed. By this time, he had become interested in girls and had wed a Warrick County girl, Joyce Ayers, who would become the mother of his two sons, Allen and Jamie. When surveying projects dried up, he moved with Joyce to central Florida and worked with his dad and his brother-inlaw, Ken Cox, on the construction site of Walt Disney World.

Both the ties of family and friends drew the young couple back to Indiana after only nine months in central Florida. Jim worked locally ever after, first as a carpenter on the Uniontown Dam. Later jobs included additional survey work, most notably for nine years at Russell and Land Contracting, and for Alcoa, where he applied a variety of mechanical skills over 24 years of employment. During that 24-year period, he commuted from Mount Vernon to work to remain close to his family.

He retired from Alcoa at age 62 in 2008. Much to his surprise, he says, “I got bored.” So after only a year of full-time recreation and completing honey-do lists, he returned to full-time work.

He served as a driver at the Posey County Council on Aging for five years and for the past three and a half years, as a driver and maintenance worker at Apex Tool and Manufacturing on Evansville’s north side. He sees no reason to retire while he remains in good health. For Jim, 70 is the new 50.

As with so many couples, Jim and Joyce ended their marriage, but both found happiness in second marriages. A confirmed bachelor, Jim dated several years before our courtship leading to our marriage on July 14, 1989. In 1998, our daughter, Jessica, made our family complete. Jim and I are blessed today with sons

“Family motivates me to cherish every day. Every day I see my loving wife and my loving daughter. I love my boys, and I’m proud of them and their families,” Jim comments. “It’s great to wake up and realize you’ve got all these loving people around you. I would hate to think I’d wake up and not have all of that around me.”

As he ages, Jim admits, his relationship with God has become important also. His happiness depends also on, he says, “believing in God and knowing he loves me and knowing one day I’ll be reunited with loved ones no longer with us.”

Jim will fit comfortably in the communion of saints. His selfsacrifice to help his family members reach their goals has made him a hero and given us the wind beneath our wings. No doubt, when the role is called up yonder, Saint Jim will be there.

Sermon of the Week: Your Hands and Feet, God’s Message Pastor Rick Sellers The hand is a miraculous thing. Broken down, each digit on the hand has purpose, especially when used in connection with the hand and other digits.

We are God’s hands and feet. God has chosen to use His followers to carry out His message of hope and love. The Church, loved by Him, is the chosen method through which others learn about the hope of eternity.

It is amazing to consider the work of the hands and feet, while in very different

parts of the body, they are used together to accomplish nearly every task throughout the day.

With our hands we find the ability to play, work, discipline and love.

With our feet we can run, walk, balance and bear heavy loads.

But consider what our lives would be like if the hand or foot were to function all alone. That sounds ridiculous doesn’t it? So much of the time we take for granted the many blessings of the unsung heroes who make

certain that things are done.

Paul reminds us in I Corinthians 12:27-29 “Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.” And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers…Are all apostles? Are all prophets?

Are all teachers?...”

Have you ever walked into the church on Sunday and considered: Who is responsible for the nicely manicured grass & clean parking lot?

Who are those people with smiles on their faces waving

when I pulled in, and opening the door when I entered the church? Who provided me with the bulletin, made sure the facilities looked so clean and fresh?

You get the picture?

Someone has taken care of each of these services provided to make your experience a great one.

After Jesus came out of the grave and appeared to the disciples, they were amazed as they saw Him, alive. But even more than that, they saw His hands and feet. They saw the scars

from the nails.

The message of hope is the message that is revealed in the hands and feet of Jesus. God so marvelously provided His message in detail through His Word, the Bible.

It is alive and active without any restrictions. As followers of Jesus Christ who fully trust in His Word the responsibility is constantly ours.

From the very beginning God has been implementing the value of each generation keeping His Message alive.

God told Moses to instruct the Israelites to always keep

in front of them reminders of the numerous ways God shows Himself. Everyone was instructed to keep this before them daily and to teach their children and grandchildren about these great wonders.

Everyone has a task that carries great significance.

When we all work together we can make a difference in our families, community and ultimately our world.

It is a good thing to work together to help spread the great news of hope through Jesus Christ.

School safety event set for districts

By Dave Pearce North Posey and Mount Vernon schools have a rivalry going on in almost everything they participate in together. However, on Tuesday morning at North Posey, the two schools will be seeing things the same way.

Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers along with several other members of the community have made it possible for students from both schools to hear a very special speaker.

‘Shooter drills’ continued from Page A1 ter school and we will cordon off the area,” the Sheriff explained.

After the simulated crisis, there will be a review of how it all went and a question and answer session for staff.

In addition, Michele Gay, a parent who lost a child in the Sandy Hook shooting, will come to Posey County to tell her story and offer tips on how to discuss safety concerns and fears with children. She will speak to the Mount Vernon staff in the high school PAC from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Later that evening, she will address an educational meeting for county parents to be held on Tuesday, September 18 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at North Posey High School. Youth First and the County Prosecutor’s Office will help with finances for the guest speaker.

Director of Buildings and Grounds David Frye talked about the drill and speaker as part of his “Safe Schools: Current Practices” report to the board. There will be monthly checks of radios and fire extinguishers and monthly student drills. He said fire drill protocols have been changed in line with state suggestions, since some active shooters have pulled fire drill alarms to get children out of classrooms into the halls. He was not at liberty to discuss the changes as the new protocol is not for public information.

Frye said there are many other safety checks and video surveillance areas being implemented after talking with Sheriff Oeth and Mount Vernon Police Chief Tony Alldredge and getting their suggestions. He said the new School Resource Officer Leo Gonzalez is the best new addition and he is “doing a great job and making good points with the students.”

Board Member Joe Rutledge commented that “it is sad it has to be this way because of current conditions, but I’m so glad we’re two steps ahead. My hat’s off to law enforcement personnel.”

Frye also presented the results of an Indoor Air Quality Report and Water Testing Report done by Environmental Management Consultants of Evansville, Indiana. Water samples were collected on May 7, 2018 after a minimum of 48 hours of inactivity and tested for the presence of copper and lead. Farmersville, West, Marrs, Hedges and the Junior High had no detectable lead, while

the high school had a very low trace of .0051 mg/L. Frye attributed the small trace to construction being done at the site at that time. Copper was found at all six sites in very low levels, well under the 1.3 mg/L limit. The state requires nothing to be done at this time since the amount was so insignificant in both cases.

Frye said the air quality report was commissioned this summer when the ceiling on the main gym in the junior high school became black and nasty-looking. “Both the main and auxiliary gyms were sanded this summer and dirt was drawn into the air conditioner. We brought in EMC out of concern for the safety of the students and staff,” Frye noted.

EMC tested both gyms for airborne microbial contamination, pollen count, temperature, and relative humidity sampling. The conclusion stated that all concentrations were found to be within acceptable guidelines and there was no unusual source of chemical contaminants or physical hazards to be concerned about the indoor air quality. Board Member Don Julian asked Frye to check if testing for Aspergillis mold was done, as that one is common after construction and tested for in his workplace. Frye agreed to do so.

In other board action: • Confirmed the employment of Judith “Missy” Shumate as a teacher assistant in Special Education at the high school. Rachel Wheaton was hired to be an Academic Coach at the junior high school on a half stipend. Wheaton teaches math at the junior high and replaces Christine Franklin as the Academic Coach.

• Accepted resignations from Charlotte Roberts as assistant coach girls’ seventh grade basketball, effective immediately, from Sherri Schroeder as an Information Systems Specialist, effective September 17, and from Sarah Wheatcroft as a teacher assistant in preschool Special Education, effective August 29.

• Adopted a resolution permitting nine staff members to attend eleven educational meetings. Dana Taylor will attend the Entertainment Services and Technology meeting and trade show in Anaheim, California on January 21-23, 2019. He was also given permission to attend the United States Institute for Theater Technology conference and Entertainment Services meetings in Lou-

isville on March 18-22, 2019. No local school district expenses will be incurred on either trip.

• Granted permission to advertise for the hearing and adoption of the updated Capital Projects Expenditure Plan for 2019-2021.

Due to changes in formatting announced by the Department of Local and Government Finance of August 2, it was necessary to update the plan to include a a newly-mandated revenue summary page.

• Approved the revised wage and benefit package for the 2018 and 2019 calendar year for Information System personnel. This will accommodate the new position of Network Engineer, originally approved in 2014. A qualified applicant for the position was not found back then, so the district has been using outside consultants at a cost of $270,000 a year. Good candidates for the job have now applied and one annual salary will save money.

“We won’t totally phase consultants out as they have certain areas of expertise and we need backup, but consulting costs should dwindle if we hire someone to fill this position,” School Superintendent Dr. Kopatich said.

• Granted permission to file an application renewal for the Charity Gaming Account annual raffle certificate.

• Adopted a resolution authorizing the use of the 2018 CPF Emergency Fund allocation to replace the roof top air conditioner condensing unit and fan coil at the district office, in an amount not to exceed 9,000. Frye said the unit provides AC and heat to the south side of the building and basically is just worn out after thirty years of use.

• Three students with Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) and faculty sponsor Tammy Schneider presented information to the board about attending the National Leadership Conference in Atlanta, Georgia on June 28-July 2 over the summer. They won six medals for projects: 2 Gold, 3 Silver and 1 Bronze.

• The next board meeting is slated for Monday, September 17 at 5:45 p.m. in the junior high school library. It will be the annual budget hearing. The budget will be adopted at the regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, October 1 at 5:45 p.m.

About Granted For the past 33 years, Granted has been serving local children with terminal or life-threatening conditions,

and fulfilling their greatest Wishes. This assistance gives them and their family a desperately needed respite from the physical, emotional, and financial burdens created by a life-threatening illness. Wishes provide strength, hope, joy, and a wonderful experience that the family can enjoy together and then treasure among their memories. Each wish is as unique as the child who requests it, but they all share one commonality in that wishes are life-changing.

We have witnessed children connecting with their parents for the first time ever, a severely challenged child who was never supposed to be able to use her legs taking her first steps, and a child with organic brain disorder said his first understandable words while on his wish trip to Disney. No one expects that their child will be born challenged, or will become gravely ill, but one thing is certain, Granted is here to support our community’s children. So far in 2018, we have completed six Wishes, have Six more

approved and in the planning stages, and have four more requests that are in the approval process. The need for service to these special children is great in our community.

Granted relies on funding from the communities we serve. Each Wish averages $5,500, so it takes a lot of support to keep our funding ahead of the requests we receive. We are determined that no child will ever be placed on a waiting list, because many do not have the luxury of time. Donations can be made at any time through our website at www.grantedtristate.org. We have numerous fundraisers throughout the year, with the Fall Festival being one of our largest.

Visit us at Booth 1 for a onehalf pound smoked BBQ pork chop sandwich, and try our new pumpkin bread pudding for dessert.

Guest Column Jim Tomes, State Senator for Indiana District 49, refuses to debate candidate Edie Hardcastle Edie Hardcastle, Democratic candidate for state senate seat District 49, recently revealed that her opponent, Republican incumbent Jim Tomes, refuses to participate in a televised debate jointly hosted by the Courier and Press and

by WNIN. He has refused despite being oered three potential dates: October 22, October 24, and November 1, any of which Hardcastle has agreed to make herself available.

Hardcastle states: “The Courier and Press and WNIN have invited us both to debate the issues so the public can learn more about us and what we stand for, but Jim Tomes has refused all three opportunities. I think Hoosiers need someone who is willing to stand up and answer questions about education, wages, and health care. What is he afraid of?â€? A biology professor at USI, Hardcastle has dubbed her opponent “the gun guy,â€? because over the last eight years, he has authored legislation that has legalized switchblade knives and sawed-o shotguns, and now wants to put guns in the hands of our teachers.

Indiana Democratic Party oďŹƒcials echoed Hardcastle’s dismay. John Zody, Chair of the Indiana Democratic Party,

said, “This is happening all over Indiana. Republican candidates are afraid to talk to voters about their record of trying to take away health care, voting rights, and doing nothing to make sure Hoosiers are protected equally or to address the issue of livable wages.�

Scott Danks, Chair of the Vanderburgh County Democrats, said, “Tomes is refusing to debate because he’s afraid to defend his unpopular, radical ideas. If he’s afraid to stand up to Edie, how can we have conďŹ dence he’ll stand up to the other forty-nine State Senators on issues that are critical to his constituents?â€?

Hardcastle’s platform focuses on three issues: education, jobs, and energy. She is a proponent of universal pre-K, and supports fully funding public schools to improve educational outcomes and to address Indiana’s teacher shortage. She is also a strong proponent of raising the state-level minimum wage to reduce poverty and income inequality, increase economic activity, and encourage job growth. To strengthen District 49’s position as the “crossroads of America� and to attract big business to the area, Hardcastle will work to

secure state funding for infrastructure repair, maintenance, and upgrades. And to create jobs, lower energy bills, and counteract pollution and climate change, she will advocate for investment in renewable energy sources.

Hardcastle has also agreed to attend three other area candidate forums, the ďŹ rst hosted by Indivisible Evansville on Tuesday, September 18 (7 p.m. at Ivy Tech Auditorium), the second by the West Side Improvement Association on Thursday, September 20 (6 p.m. at Howell Park Shelter House), and third by the United Neighborhoods of Evansville on Thursday, September 27 (6 p.m. at the CK Newsome Center). The candidate forums precede the upcoming general election, which will be held on Tuesday, November 6, 2018.

(District 49 is comprised of Posey County, ďŹ ve townships in Gibson County, and eight townships in Vanderburgh County. Jim Tomes has held the District 49 seat since 2010.)

Guest Column: Robert Lee Blaffer Foundation An open letter to Dollar General Mr. Jacob Stauer Mr. Sid Aultman The Overland Group 1598 Imperial Center, Suite 2001 West Plains, MO 65775 September 10, 2018 Dear Mr. Stauer and Mr. Aultman, I am writing to you on behalf of a diverse range of business, civic and social interests in New Harmony, Indiana as well as the Board of Directors of the Robert Lee Blaer Foundation, of which I am an oďŹƒcer. We WELCOME Dollar General to our quaint village, where we have been without a general store, hardware store or grocery store for some years. We also want to make you aware of how passionate we are about our town’s history, architecture and cultural assets as they relate to the “gatewayâ€? location your new store will occupy.

The Robert Lee Blaer Foundation, a 501(c)(3) Corporation, was created to preserve, promote and support, ďŹ nancially, and otherwise, the various historic and educational attributes of New Harmony, Indiana, and the Part of Posey County, Indiana, that is immediately adjacent to and historically or culturally related to the Town of New Harmony.

The Foundation continues to make a signiďŹ cant investment in the ongoing beautiďŹ cation of New Harmony, as do so many institutions in town.

During the town-wide meeting held at the Working Men’s Institute in New Harmony on

September 6, 2018, Patrick Moone, the P.E. with the Farnsworth Group in Champaign, Ill., who is working with your company, the developer, Overland Group of West Plains, Mo., presented plans for the Dollar General store on Church Street/Highway 66, New Harmony. The purpose of the meeting was to seek an Improvement Permit from the New Harmony Town Plan and Historic Preservation Commission. It was supposed to be an opportunity for citizens to oer suggestions regarding the façade of the building, signage, lighting and such issues that a historic commission would need to consider ensuring Dollar General’s new store ďŹ ts with the character of the town.

Mr. Moone must have been astonished by the turnout, standing room only in the large meeting room of our public library. Several attendees wondered why there had not been more transparency by the Town Council and an opportunity for more vigorous debate prior to the sale of the property for a Dollar General store. Be that as it may, it really does seem to be the “Will of the Peopleâ€? that Dollar General come to town, and we want to see a win-win outcome for our citizens and your business. By the end of the meeting several organizations, including the Robert Lee Blaer Foundation, the New Harmony Business Associates, and Historic New Harmony agreed that we would like to present our suggestions about how to make the new building appropriate to the Town’s aesthetic.

Permits have already been granted, but after the meeting Mr. Moone made clear to Coun-

cilman Flanders, Chair of the Town Plan & Historic Preservation Commission that the Farnsworth Group, Overland Engineering, and, by extension, Dollar General would be willing to evaluate our suggestions.

We have beautiful old brick and brick and stone buildings from the Harmonist era (1814-1825), so a mixed brick and stone façade would be more appealing than metal and cement block or faux limestone.

One local inspiration, The Granary on Granary Street, approximately seven blocks west of the new Dollar General location, features just such a mix of stone and brick. The building was built in 1818 and restored in 1999.

The silhouetted letters of an exterior wall sign on the storefront give a better appearance than a full banner sign. Gooseneck lighting and plantings in front can soften the look. The monument sign seems a bit large.

There are only 713 souls in New Harmony.

We know where you are and who you are.

Could the monument sign echo a stone and brick façade?

The Robert Lee Blaer Foundation’s founder, Jane Blaer Owen, was a student of good lighting. If you visit New Harmony, you will notice that ground spotlights are used throughout the gardens and grounds of the Blaer properties at night to make them more inviting. Would you consider ground spotlights on the monument sign, in lieu of or in addition to the bright lights within the sign?

Finally, we are a Tree City USA Community with an active garden club. The New Harmony Garden Club has adopted street

corners, public sidewalk areas, planting beds in front of the Post OďŹƒce, the Waterworks and other locations around town to beautify what were once weed patches.

The Robert Lee Blaer Foundation maintains multiple gardens and parks and hosts gardeners and garden designers in its historic guest houses. We would hope you might plant appropriate perennial native plants and shrubs to enhance the look of your parking lot. I’m sure we would have several volunteer advisors, plant donors and even helpers to guide you in this regard.

We want Dollar General to appeal to our citizens and the many guests and tourists we host and to be a welcoming visual presence in keeping with the historic and landscape aesthetic of New Harmony. The general idea is one of simplicity, natural materials, and tasteful landscaping.

For parking lot lighting, preference would be for ornamental pole lights, or spot lights that illuminate the area without blinding drivers and customers.

If you have time to visit the Visit New Harmony web site (https://visitnewharmony. com/), you can see many of our brick buildings and beautiful gardens, and hopefully be inspired to adjust the façade, building sign, monument sign, lighting and landscaping appropriately.

Thank you for your consideration.

Letters to the Editor Creatures from the Swamp Even though Donald Trump is in the process of draining the swamp, there are swamp creatures of all kinds among us.

Take this guy (out of New Harmony, you know who you are) is writing untrue, slanderous, and #fakenews stories about our good State Senator Jim Tomes of District 49. Senator Tomes works tirelessly for all constituents in his district and all Hoosiers in the our state.

He has worked hard for those seeking to legalize CBD and got it done!

This past session he pushed for a summer study on school safety, that ultimately was replaced for summer studies for such foolish things as cold beer sales and the legalization of marijuana. I bet those things will be the last thing on people’s mind the next time an inci-

dent takes place at a school in Indiana.

As for the Second Amendment Patriots, I’ve actually sat in on their meetings unlike this foolish person out of New Harmony. They are far from a militia, but a good group of competent, educated citizens. They work for what they believe in, the same as liberal groups such as Indivisible Indiana. Should we start calling Indivisible Indiana a hate group since they dislike and harass conservative legislators and individuals??

I could go on and on about the #NewHarmonyFakeNews but I just want to point out the swamp creatures are among us and they too need to be called out and drained from the swamp.

Cross examination, The Engine of Truth

B J J R

Freedom of Speech is a good thing. That includes the “right� to lie and disparage anonymously. Cross examination is recognized in legal matters as the greatest engine of truth.

It is just as much a Constitutional Right as Freedom of Speech. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution protects one’s right to speak and the Sixth Amendment protects the right to “confront one’s accusers�, i.e. to cross examine them, in criminal cases. Indiana’s Constitution guarantees both

Freedom of Speech and “Face to Face� cross examination. It is clear that those who founded both our state and our country considered both rights sacred.

However, as with much of life and law the devil is in the details when particular situations that implicate conflicting Constitutional Rights must be addressed. If CNN and MSNBC want to proclaim President Trump a pariah while FOX News proclaims him a messiah both positions are constitutionally protected even if they might cite to anonymous sources to do so. So, how do those who disagree with either position exercise the right of cross examination. Well, they don’t. Private citizens and non-governmental entities are perfectly within

their rights to cite or even make up anonymous sources.

When the government wants to use Confidential Informants in criminal cases to seek an arrest or search warrant, the police officer or Prosecuting Attorney must, under oath, set forth facts whereby the reviewing Judge or Magistrate can determine a C.I.’s information is credible. Such things as the ability and opportunity to observe are essential considerations. And, even if the Judge grants the request for a warrant, when a case is filed the Court has the authority to order the disclosure of a C.I.’s identity so that a person who is charged may cross examine the C.I. or have the case thrown out.

This protection of the truth is not available in the civil area nor should it be. If a media outlet wants to lie or make up sources the outlet might be sued but the government should not be allowed to squelch free speech. On the other hand, those of us who are inundated with a constant barrage of personal invective described by the media as “news� owe it to ourselves and our country to demand that news organizations disclose “anonymous sources� or, at least thoroughly vet them and set out the vetting process along with the source’s bona fides so we can judge for ourselves.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2018

Too fast, Nana

A T M B B R

I recently had the great good fortune to spend a couple of hours with Granddaughter #4 while her mom and dad completed some errands. Here, Laura, twist my arm‌.

At the appointed time I arrived at Pre-K and walked down the hall to the correct classroom. The teacher tells the students when a parent (or grandparent!) has arrived while said parent (or grandparent!) waits in the hallway. This day, however, Presley wanted me to come all the way to the door to collect her. Sure, Presley, whatever you want, darlin’‌ After buckling her into the back seat of my car, negotiations began. “Where are we going, Nana?â€? “To my house.â€? “I don’t want to go to your house.â€? “Really?

Where do you want to go?� “McDonald’s.�

Hmmm‌sneakly little tyke. I could hear the wheels spinning in her little mind: “Mom doesn’t like to go to McDonald’s, but Nana will take me there‌â€? She sure will, little lady.

Waiting in the line of the drive-thru, I asked her what she wanted to eat. A Happy Meal, of course. Cheeseburger. With Gogurt and chocolate milk. Perfect. And a grilled chicken sandwich for me (never to be ordered here again‌) As the container with the meals was handed to me, the (very nice) lady delivering the food asked if we needed a straw or cup for the chocolate milk. Well, both, of course. Give a ďŹ ve-year-old a choice and they’ll take every option that’s presented.

Time to head to Nana’s house to eat.

Upon leaving the drive-thru, Presley asked me to open the bottle of chocolate milk.

Always happy to oblige, I gently twisted the cap o the bottle of milk and handed it back to her in the back seat. Mistake. Big

mistake. BIG mistake, Nana.

About a block from my house is a stop sign. So, I applied my brakes. And immediately heard, from the back seat, loudly, “Too fast, Nana!!!� What?!?

OK, so I didn’t speciďŹ cally tell her not to pour the chocolate milk into the glass until we got back to my house, inside the house, in the kitchen, sitting at the table.

Yep, my mistake. I stopped too fast to stop this would-be disaster. Said chocolate milk spilled. Over the sides of the cup. Onto my (cloth) seat. All over her clothes. Sigh‌ We pulled into my driveway and I exited the car and quickly opened the back door.

Poor Presley. She really did feel bad about the mess. Not a problem, sweetie. (Isn’t it amazing what grandkids can get by with?)

She climbed out of her seat, sticky chocolate milk dripping down her leg and onto the oorboard of my car. Before leaving the garage I pulled a towel from the container with supplies I keep in my car and used it to soak up as much of the milk as I could before shepherding Presley into the house.

She had worn a dress with shorts underneath to school this day. The hem of the skirt in one small are was wet, but her shorts were pretty much soaked. They were uncomfortable so she walked stilegged and monster-like out of the garage and along the sidewalk to the steps of the front porch, then tried to walk stiy up the steps, somewhat unsuccessfully. Now into the house where we removed said shorts and dress, and also her shoes which had, remarkably, remained unscathed throughout the incident.

I pulled out a small (for me) tee shirt which was worn as a too-long dress. It sufďŹ ced, but only just‌The chocolate-soaked clothing was placed in a plastic bag for mom to deal with later.

Time to eat. Munch on the fries. Take a very tiny sip of what’s left of the chocolate milk in the cup using the straw provided only moments before. Lift the bun o the

cheeseburger. Uh-oh. “There’s pickles and white stu on my hamburger. I don’t like pickles and white stu.â€? OK. We scrape o the pickles and white stu (chopped onions in the adult world). Crisis averted. When a piece of white stu was noticed later, Nana quickly responded, “Eat it. It’s so little you won’t be able to taste it.â€? Which, of course, garnered a very skeptical glance, but she did eat all her meal.

And now back to the seat full of chocolate milk. I took a small bowl of warm water and a washcloth and pretty much saturated the seat, then soaked up as much liquid as I could before placing another towel in the seat. I then placed the large, moderately heavy container I keep in my car on top of said towel, hoping the towel would absorb most of the rest of the milk in the seat.

The next morning I removed the container and the towel. The seat felt dry to the touch. I dusted the seat – extrava-

gantly – with baking soda, hoping the soda would absorb any remaining odor. As of this moment, three days later, the baking soda remains on the seat. So far, no smell.

I’ll be heading to the car wash soon to take advantage of the super-duper vacuums there, hopefully sucking up all remnants of the lunch excursion. Stay tuned‌ As to the “too fast, Nanaâ€? comment, I told myself as the incident was unfolding that the accident was, in fact, my fault.

What ďŹ ve-year-old could fathom that the simple act of pouring chocolate milk from a bottle to a cup would cause such havoc?

I should have reminded her to keep the lid on. I didn’t. And it’s not a big deal in the whole scheme of things, is it? What is important is that we keep our cool and remember that life itself goes “too fast, Nana� and all too soon the granddaughters will be grown up. It’s these little moments and memories we’ll be able to hold on to.

And that’s all that matters‌

Mount Vernon River Days thanks community I’d like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to this wonderful community over the past two weekends. Not only did you weather the extreme heat and rain to support River Days during its festival weekend, but you continued embracing this event during the rescheduled Parade this past Saturday.

Whether you were a vendor, entertainer, demonstrator, visitor, parade walker or spectator your participation and undying support during these abnormal circumstances just fuels us to continue doing all we can to provide this community with a festival that you can be proud of.

And for those events and activities that had to cancel due to the weather we know you were still with us in spirit and look forward to having you back next year!

There are so many groups that aided us in the success of River Days that we are deeply thankful for such as Max Dieterle/MV Street Dept., Chuck Gray/MV Water Dept., Tony Alldredge/MVPD, Michael Harshbarger/MV P&R and Greg Oeth/Posey County Dept. of Corrections. We were also blessed with several

volunteers this year that assisted our dynamic trio (Jim, Jack and Willie) at various times of clean-up that made all the dierence to our much appreciative and small committee. If I try to name them I know I’ll forget someone, so just please know that we were so thankful for each one of you.

Lastly, I must thank my hard working committee for all their countless hours and energy they give to River Days and this community all year long. I couldn’t work beside a better group of people that truly give their whole heart to this festival.

If you have any input or suggestions we’d love to hear from you. I’d also like to extend an invitation to join our planning committee family. You can contact us by email at event@ mtvernonriverdays.com or message us on our Mt. Vernon River Days Facebook page.

Again, thanks to all that supported Mount Vernon River Days in ANY way over the past two weekends and we hope to see you Sept.

13-15, 2019.

Mr. Denny: Beloved custodian honored at birthday celebration

South Terrace staff pose for a photo with Mr. Denny. Kneeling: Julie Butler. L to r: Tammy Thurman, Julie Koester, Mr. Denny, Julie Sailer, Donna McGinness, Kathy Martin, Jamie Wade and Chandra Gauer.

Preschool students present “Mr. Denny” with a present during his birthday party Tuesday. Photos submitted

By Cathy Powers When Denny House walked into the South Terrace gym on Tuesday morning, September 11, he thought he was being summoned for some normal custodian task. Instead he was greeted by the applause and cheering of the entire student body and faculty. It was House’s seventieth birthday. Known affectionately as “Mr. Denny,” he was brought to tears by the outpouring

of love and affection.

In addition to his position at South Terrace during school hours, he has driven bus No. 23 since 1985. He hands out mints to everyone almost every day from his pocket, and loves being part of the “family.”

One by one, each student in every class lined up to give him a hug and drop one of his signature mints into a basket. They also presented him with signs, cards, and a T-shirt.

He commented that if there was ever a day he did not want to get up and go to his job, it would be the day to resign. This does not seem likely.

During the four years he has held this position, he has become a beloved fixture at the school.

House lives in Stewartsville with his wife, Linda, of 52 years. He has always been a resident of Posey County. He remembers farming near the State Park when he was only 6-years-old. He was so young, he had to stand on the running boards of the old Ford tractor to operate it.

He has previously worked for the

town of Poseyville.

Just listening to him speak about his daily schedule is amazing. His day begins when he gets up at 3 a.m. to be on his way to his bus route. It runs from Saint Peter’s Church to Boberg Road and back. He checks on things at the church, as well.

After his daily duties at the school, he is back on the afternoon bus run by 2 p.m. Around 3:45, he returns to the bus garage. For most folks, the day would be over, but “Mr. Denny” heads out to mow his group of 20 lawns around the Poseyville area.

He was presented with a cake to

mark this birthday. However, as one would totally expect of him, he had already ordered a cake to share with this extended family. He was honored throughout the day, with a special chair to sit in on the stage, and students volunteering to wipe down the lunch tables for him.

It was obvious to see that this was indeed like a family, and parents of the students at South Terrace are blessed to entrust their children with folks like “Mr. Denny” and the dedicated staff. Hopefully, they will share many more school years and birthdays.

Steve Harding - Edward Jones Financial Advisor Women Business Owners: Don’t Forget About Your Retirement Plan American Business Women’s Day is celebrated on Sept. 22. And there is indeed cause for celebration, because, in recent decades, the number of women business owners has risen sharply, to the point where nearly 40 percent of all businesses are now women-owned, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. If you are one of these owners, or thinking about becoming one, you’ll always have a lot to think about when running your business, but there’s also an area you can’t ignore – your retirement. Specifically, you need to consider establishing your own retirement plan.

Most plans available to you are fairly easy to establish and maintain, and are not terribly costly to administer. Here are some popular options: • Owner-only 401(k) – This plan, also

known as an individual or solo 401(k), is available to self-employed individuals and business owners with no full-time employees other than themselves or a spouse. For 2018, you can put in up to 25 percent of your annual income as an “employer” contribution, and you can defer up to $18,500 (or $24,500 if you’re 50 or older).

The sum of your employer contribution and your salary deferrals cannot exceed $55,000, or $61,000 if you’re 50 or older. You can make elective contributions on a pre- or post-tax (Roth) basis. Pre-tax contributions reduce your taxable income for the current year. Roth contributions don’t offer any immediate tax benefit, but any qualified withdrawals will be 100 percent tax-free.

• SEP IRA – If you have just a few employees or are self-employed with no employees, you may want to consider a SEP IRA. You’ll fund the plan with tax-deductible contributions,

and you must cover all eligible employees. As an employer, you can contribute the lesser of 25 percent of your compensation (if you’re also an employee of your own business) or $55,000.

• Solo defined benefit plan – Pension plans, also known as defined benefit plans, are less common than in previous years, but you can still set one up for yourself if you’re self-employed or own your own business. This plan has high contribution limits, which are determined by an actuarial calculation, and your contributions are typically tax-deductible.

• SIMPLE IRA — A SIMPLE IRA, as its name suggests, is easy to set up and maintain, and it can be a good plan if your business has fewer than 10 employees.

However, while a SIMPLE IRA may be advantageous for your employees, it’s less generous to you, as far as allowable contributions go, than an owner-only 401(k), a SEP IRA or

a defined benefit plan. For 2018, your annual contributions are generally limited to $12,500, or $15,500 if you’re 50 or older by the end of the year. You can also make a matching contribution of up to 3% of your compensation.

As an employer, your contributions are fully deductible as a business expense up to certain limits; as an employee, your pretax contributions reduce the amount of your taxable income for the same tax year.

Before opening any of these plans, you’ll want to consult with your tax advisor on the tax issues and a financial professional on the investment aspects. But don’t wait too long.

You will need to work hard to keep your business thriving – so choose a retirement plan that works just as hard for you.

The Washington Hatchets traveled to play the Mount Vernon Wildcats last Friday night at Memorial Field in Mount Vernon.

The Wildcats did not waste any time as Sam Thomas scored the first touchdown of the game on a 40-yard pass from Rhett Snodgrass to take an early 7-0 lead at the 10:34 mark of the first quarter.

One the next kickoff, Mount Vernon’s Theron Browning recovered a fumble at the 45-yard line to give Mount Vernon the ball on offense.

The very next play, Sam Thomas caught a 45-yard pass from Snodgrass for another Wildcat touchdown to make the score 14-0 with only 10:20 left in the quarter. Sam Thomas scored again on the next Wildcat offensive possession from a 11-yard pass from Snodgrass to make the score 21-0 with 6:15 left in the quarter. At the end of the first quarter, the Wildcats led by three touchdowns.

In the second quarter, Washington put points on the board with a 11-yard touchdown run to make the score 21-7 with 6:15 left in the half. On the next Wildcat drive, Sam Thomas scored on a 31-yard pass from Snodgrass to make the score 27-7 with 4:40 left in the second quarter. When Mount Ver-

non got the ball back on its next possession, Sam Thomas scored on a 50-yard pass from Snodgrass with 2:27 left in the second quarter to make the score 33-7. Seconds later in the second quarter, Mount Vernon scored on a fumble recovery made by Blake Ritzert and he ran the football for a 19-yard touchdown to make the score 407, Wildcats led with 2:18 left in the half. Mount Vernon was not done scoring in the second quarter. When Mount Vernon got the ball back on offense, Snodgrass threw a 57-yard pass to Breckan Austin for another Wildcat touchdown to make the score 46-7 lead with one-minute left in the second quarter. Washington scored on a 47-yard touchdown run with 23.7 seconds left in the half to make the score 46-14. Sam Thomas almost scored his sixth touchdown of the half on a 75-yard touchdown run but it was called back for a holding penalty at the 36-yard line. At the half, Mount Vernon led 46-14.

During the third quarter, Washington received the ball first.

Washington scored a touchdown on a 40-yard run to make the score 46-21 with 9:12 left in the third quarter. On Mount Vernon’s first offensive possession of the second half, Rhett Snodgrass scored a Mount Vernon senior Abram Adams stops a Washington opponent in his tracks during Friday night’s game.

Exline wins PAC golf Championship Junior advances to state regional

By Chris Morlan Last Saturday was the start of the Indiana High School Athletic Association girls golf sectional across the state. The Lady Vikings played in sectional number 27 that was hosted

by Evansville Memorial at the Eagle Valley Golf Course.

The top three teams who post a team score or top three low individuals excluding those individuals who advanced with a team will be eligible and advance to next week’s golf regional.

North Posey finished fifth as a team with 397. Haylee Exline shot an 83 and advanced to next weeks’ regional for being one of the top three low individuals not to advance with a team. Evansville North won as a team with a 288, followed by Evansville Memorial in second place with a 333 and Castle in third place with a 351.

Maggie Newcomb was one shot away from advancing to regionals with an 89, followed by Mallory Motz with a 112 and Alexa Haylee Exline tees o during sectionals at Simmons with a 113.

Eagle Valley Golf Course Saturday. Photo subOn Monday, September 10, the Lady Vimitted kings made another attempt to compete in the

Pocket Athletic Conference golf championship in Oakland City. The match was postponed on Saturday, September 8 due to bad weather.

North Posey did well in the match finishing fourth as a team. The highlight of the day was Haylee Exline winning the overall individual results. Exline and Maggie Newcomb were named to the all-conference team.

Gibson Southern won the team scores and shot a 178, followed by South Spencer in second place with a 197, Pike Central in third place with a 200, North Posey in fourth place with a 205, Southridge in fifth place with a 207, Forest Park in sixth place with a 217, Tell City in seventh place with a 230, Tecumseh in eighth place with a 246 and Heritage Hills in ninth place with a 259.

Haylee Exline won the individual results and shot a 39. Maggie Newcomb tied for seventh place and shot a 45, followed by Alexa Simmons tied for twenty-fourth place and shot a 60 and Mallory Motz tied for twentysixth place and shot a 61.

The Lady Vikings were back on the greens last Tuesday afternoon against Signature

MV soccer teams dominate field

By Hana Denning The Mount Vernon boys’ soccer team traveled to Princeton for a conference game against the Tigers. The game took place on Monday evening. Mount Vernon won the game, scoring twice in both halves. Princeton scored once in the first half.

Scoring for the Wildcats were; Tim Santoro with two goals; Braden Henning, one goal, and Clint Wolfe, one goal.

Xavier Angel assisted once, and Henning added an assist.

Sam Heckman played goalie and saved three potential goals from the Tigers. Tyler Walls was also in the box and had four saves.

The boys had their second and final game of the week on Saturday. The team versed Boonville High School at the Mount Vernon home field. The Wildcats commanded the field and won 3-0.

The Cats had one goal in the first half and two more in the second half. Scoring for MV was; Gabe Owens with one goal, Braden Henning adding a goal, and Xavier Angel scoring one goal. The assists came from Braden Dike and Angel. Sam Heckman, goalie, had four saves and a shutout for the game.

The Lady Wildcat soccer team visited Evansville Bosse Tuesday evening. The ‘Cats had an exceptional game, beating the Bulldogs 9-0. The victory was credited to teamwork and communication. There were many girls that contributed to the high score.

Saturday was a hot one for the ‘Cats and Patriots game.

Mount Vernon lost to Heritage Hills 4-0. The Patriots only scored one goal on the Lady Wildcats in the first half but scored the other three in the second.

The girls’ coach, Samantha Schu said, “It’s tough to play great teams when four starters are injured and that leaves us with one sub who is also nursing an injury.� The girls pow-

team are ready to make a run at getting better each week and closing out the regular season respectably.

But first the Vikings had to travel to Lincoln City to face undefeated Heritage Hills. The result was not pretty.

The Viking offense was again stifled as the Patriots rolled up 413 total yards while holding the Vikings to 96. The Viking defense was unable to contend with the size and speed (and experience) being thrown at them and yielded the yardage in clumps, a little over seven yards per play. But if one is looking for moral victories, that’s down considerably than the past two weeks.

Neither team passed the ball much, with Viking quarterback Jarrett Motz completing 3-of-6 passes for 24 yards. The Patriots completed 2-of-7 Cole Sigler passes for only 39 yards and Cade Jones hit one pass for the Patriots for 17 yards.

Like the past couple of weeks, the outcome was settled early. The Patriots

Maggie Newcomb won the match with a 38, followed by Haylee Exline in third place with a 42, Mallory Motz in fourth place with a 54, Alexa Simmons in fifth place with a 56 and Ruthie Meyer in eleventh place with a 64.

This Lady Vikings team had a great season finishing the season with a 10-4 record. North Posey Coach Mike Wassmer will return his whole team for the 2019 season.

Arena

By Chris Morlan and Hana Denning North Posey boys’ soccer lose to Central 3-2 There was only one soccer game on the schedule for the Vikings last week. North Posey played at home last Wednesday afternoon against the Evansville Central Bears. The ďŹ rst two goals of the game were made by Central. North Posey’s Tanner Tichenor scored the Vikings ďŹ rst goal of the game with 23 seconds left in the half. Braden Schipp recorded the assist on the Tichenor goal. At the end of the ďŹ rst half, the Bears led 2-1.

During the second half of the game, Central scored early in the half and were up by two goals. With 9:31 left in the second half, Tanner Tichenor scored his second goal of the game with the assist going to Wade Fickas. The Bears were up by one goal at 3-2 and that was the ďŹ nal score of the game as the clock expired.

Goalkeeper, Brinden Morell had seven saves for the game.

The Vikings had seven shots on goal and one corner kick. The Vikings have three wins and seven losses for the season.

Both teams kick off the week on Monday. The girls will be playing Evansville Central and the boys, Evansville Harrison. The teams are continuing their improvement and strengthening their strategies as they near the first round of sectionals at the beginning of October.

North Posey football set to face more equally matched teams

By Dave Pearce The class system in Indiana sports was put into place for a reason. Schools with more talent from which to draw are more likely to be successful in most years.

The North Posey Vikings are one of the smallest schools in the Pocket Athletic Conference and have been competitive with the big boys for many years‌ and this season isn’t over.

But after the Vikings handed a loss to the South Spencer Rebels on opening night this season in a battle of mid-sized class 2A schools, the home team ran into multiple buzz saws.

First there was Mount Vernon, whose Wildcats had lost seven of the last eight to the Vikings. Despite the disparity in school size, the Vikings hung with the Wildcats and came back in the second half to make it a good game.

But then they ran into Class 3A perennial power Gibson Southern and defending Class 2A state champion (largest class 2A school) Southridge on back to back nights.

This weekend, it was another clash with a Titan.

The Vikings were clearly out-manned by yet another big Class 3A and perennial powerhouse, the Heritage Hills Patriots. The results in all these games have been wearily similar. Not only have the Vikings lost, the losses have been lop-sided.

But beginning this coming week, the remainder of the Viking schedule has North Posey facing schools more near in size. The Vikings have been through “hell month� and Coach Waylon Schenk and his

School at Fendrich Golf Course in Evansville. North Posey dominated the match and beat Signature 169-218.

North Posey’s Haylee Exline continued her dominance on the golf course to place first with a 39. Maggie Newcomb finished second and shot a 40, followed by Alexa Simmons in third with a 42, Mallory Motz placed fourth with a 48 and Ruthie Meyer in ninth place with a 69.

For the third night in a row, the Lady Vikings golf team were playing on the greens.

The matchup was against the Princeton Lady Tigers at Cambridge Golf Course last Wednesday evening. This was the Lady Vikings last match of the regular season before playing in the Indiana High School Athletic Association girls golf sectional. North Posey continued to play well and beat Princeton, 190-214.

jumped on the Vikings early and led 14-0 at the end of the first quarter. The scores came one by pass and the other in the air.

But much like the Gibson Southern game, speedy Kyle Stewart got outside the Patriot line and scampered 73 yards to bring the score to 14-7 just a minute into the second quarter. But that’s as close as the game would get. Heritage Hills ran off the next 42 points to complete a 66-7 victory.

Zach Lowe, the go-to guy when Stewart was unable to get free, was held in check by the Patriots. Lowe rushed 12 times for 30 yards. Dalton Hill ran the ball three times for 13 yards while both Seth Morrow and Jake Blankenship got carries.

The Patriots had too many weapons and they were spread around. Six players rushed for 40 yards or more, with Cade jones leading the way with 96.

Tyler Holman was a bit of a bright spot for the Vikings hauling in two catches for 16 yards while Cole Koester

had a catch for eight yards.

Tanner Tichenor punted seven times for the Vikings for an average of over 32 yards. The Patriots kicked away from Stewart all evening and Lowe had six kickoff returns for a total of 86 yards.

The Vikings will now enter a favorable portion of their schedule when they will face Tell City, Forest Park, Pike Central, and Tecumseh, all winnable games according to Coach Waylon Schenk.

The Vikings will travel to Ferdinand on Friday night to face Forest Park before hosting Tell City the next week. The team will then travel to Tecumseh before closing out the season at home against Pike Central.

Lady Cats fall to Castle on volleyball court The Lady Wildcat volleyball team versed the Castle Lady Knights Monday evening. Castle won all three sets; the ďŹ rst set was 25-21; the second set’s score was 25-15 and the third set had a score of 25-14.

Brooke Jackson contributed 11 kills. Libby Steinhart had ten kills and 13 digs. Clara Hawley also had 13 digs.

The Junior Varsity team also fell to Castle, 2-0. The sets’ scores were; 25-7 and 25-11. Making their record 6-4.

North Posey’s junior varsity team played the first match of the night and swept Pike Central in three games. Up next, were the Lady Viking varsity team which did not waste any time and beat the Lady Chargers three games to nothing.

During the first game, North Posey won 2515. In the second game, the Lady Vikings won 25-9 and North Posey did not back down in the third game beat Pike Central 25-8 to win the match.

After the game, Lady Viking Coach Madison Falkenstein said, “the varsity team played great tonight against the Chargers, winning 25-15, 25-9, and 25-8. Our offense was on fire, finding all the holes in Pike Central’s defense.

Emily Abernathy was able to utilize our hitters because our passing game was so strong, translating into many kills for us as a team.”

Leading the Lady Vikings were Megan Brenton with four blocks and nine kills, followed by Haley Wilson with three aces, Emily Abernathy with 29 assists and Rylie Farr with ten digs.

North Posey was back on the volleyball court last Tuesday night at Evansville Reitz. It was a rough night for both Lady Viking teams. The junior varsity and varsity volleyball teams each lost in three games against Reitz.

After the Reitz game, Coach Falkenstein said, “the varsity team came out strong in all three games. We were even winning all three matches at one point. However, we lost control of our side of the net and when that happens, we begin to make unforced errors. We were making errors that we have not been making since the first couple weeks of the season, such as miscommunicating, not making our switches quick enough, and not transitioning to the correct spot on the court. It was like we were missing a piece of the puzzle that night. My hopes are that these losses we are experiencing are teaching the girls about what kind of team

By Hana Denning Cross-country girls and boys ran at the Princeton Invite Tuesday evening. The hilly course presented a challenge. Both teams ran well despite this. The boys placed fourth with 143 points and the girls placed fifth, scoring 122 points.

This was the first time the Lady Wildcat team has had to take on hills, but Coach Ashton Wagner says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will be ready to repeat that for Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meet in Crawford County.â&#x20AC;? Most of the girls did not run their goal times for the race but are improving continually on strategy for the races to come.

Emma Thompson came in fourth overall with a 21:47. Junior, Taylor Collins finished in sixteenth place with a time of 24:20 and Sabrina Vaughn accomplished a PR of 28:16.

In the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; race Jasper edged out Reitz by a single point. Mount Vernon defeated conference opponents Boonville, Washington and Vincennes for the pre-Conference meet. Princeton did not run with a full team and was not able to score any points.

Tommy Kelly paced the Wildcat boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team yet again and ended the race at sixteenth place overall. The team pushed each other to run a strong race. Braden Dike came out the leader in fourteenth place overall. Danner Latshaw ran third for the Cats and overall and Braden Henning placed forty-first. Mitchell Wilson completed the race at forty-second and Seth Dewar at seventy-third. The gap between first and fifth place for Mount Vernon was a mere two minutes and 17 seconds. This small difference shows the continuous improvement of the team.

Saturday presented high temperatures and plenty of sun beating down on the runners at the Crawford County High School field. The teams did not accrue points because they only had four runners in each team. Although they were small in numbers, they did very well against the other 35 schools represented at the meet and running

DAR Promotes Constitution Week There are two documents of paramount importance to American history: the Declaration of Independence, which forged our national identity, and the United States Constitution, which set forth the framework for the federal government that is still in use today. While Independence Day is a beloved national holiday, fewer people know about Constitution Week, an annual commemoration of the living document that upholds and protects the freedoms central to our American way of life. This year, the annual celebration begins September 17, 2018.

The Daughters ofthe American Revolution (DAR) initiated the observance in 1955, when the 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 915. The celebration’s goals are threefold: to enco~age the study of the historical events that led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787; to inform people that the Constitution is the basis of America’s great heritage and the foundation of our way of life; and to emphasize U.S. citizens’ responsibility to protect, defend and preserve the Constitution.

DAR has been the foremost advocate for the awareness, promotion and celebration of Constitution Week. This annual observance provides innumerable opportunities for educational initiatives and community outreach, two mission areas of crucial importance to the National Society’s work. 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 independence, whose bravery and sacrifice made possible the liberties we enjoy today.

“The framers created a Constitution that translated into law the ideals upon which our nation was built,” said DAR President General Ann Dillon. “Their vision was so forward thinking that their words still guide us today. No American history education can be complete without a thorough understanding of the impact the Constitution has had on the lives of American citizens past and present.”

One of the largest patriotic women’s organizations in the world, DAR has more than 185,000 members in approximately 3,000 chapters across the country and even in numerous foreign

countries. DAR strives to promote historic preservation, education and patriotism via commemorative events, scholarships and educational initiatives, citizenship programs, service to veterans, meaningful community service, and more. For additional information about DAR and its programs, visit www.dar.org.

You can contact our chapter registrar, Margie Sellers Waible at: waiblem@yahoo.com or by telephone at 812-760-9966. Margie can help in fmding out if you are eligible for DAR Membership.

Constitution Week Facts Why does the DAR actively promote Constitution Week?

Constitution Week was initiated by the Daughters of the American Revolution. The DAR is a patriotic organization that encourages education and historic preservation in communities across America.

How did Constitution Week begin?

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 wee~ 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. Carraway also encouraged members to invite their governors and mayors to issue proclamations celebrating the Constitution .

When did the United States government begin to observe Constitution Week?

Constitution Week was officially declared by President Eisenhower on August 2, 1956. This was the culmination of a proposal the DAR sent through Senator William F. Know land of California.

Is there a memorial honoring the Constitution?

Yes. DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. The inscription on the pediment reads, “Constitution Hall- a memorial to that immortal document, the Constitution of the United States, in which are incorporated the principles of freedom, equality and justice for which our forefathers strove.” DAR Constitution Hall is the only structure dedicated to the U.S. Constitution.
