River Days push Main Street Project

By Lois Mittino Gray The race is on to finish work on the Main Street Project in time for the River Days Festival events on September 13-15. Mount Vernon Mayor Bill Curtis told the Board of Works at its August 15 meeting that street paving is supposed to be finished up to Fourth Street and Main during the week of August 26. He was told that by representatives of Ragle Contractors, in charge of doing the work on the multimillion dollar project. “I do hope you have a contingency plan, just in case” he warned Kay Kilgore, Rivers Days Festival Event Chairman.

Kilgore attended the meeting to request street closures for River Days. With a detailed map in hand, she distributed copies to board members and department heads with a timetable. The first closure begins on Wednesday, September 11 with both alley entrances/exits on Main Street that are located between Second and Water Streets. On Thursday, September 12, a big box of area in downtown will be closed off for preparations. This includes Water Street from College to Mulberry; Main and Walnut streets from Second to Water; and Mulberry from the alley back down to Water Street. Around 3 p.m. that day, they will move barricades at Mulberry to block Water Street from College to Locust, too. On Friday, September 13, Locust Street will be closed all the way up to Second Street, when the Water Department office closes at the end of the business day. Saturday will have all the same closures, along with Main from Fourth to Second, Third Street from College to Walnut; and the empty lot the city owns on the northwest side of Second and Main Street. “This should cover all events from the booths to the bike and jeep show, tractor show, and parade,” she explained.

The Mayor also reported on settlements from the

Street Department Building fire last month. “At this point, we have settlement figures on three vehicles,” he said. The city will be getting $81,489 cash money back for the 2012 packer truck; $64,644 for the 2008 packer truck; and $174,115 for the street sweeper, minus $63,163 to pay off the loan on the sweeper. There has been no final word yet on settlements on the mini excavator, roller, air compressors, equipment, and signs. The building, at the corner of Kimball and Sycamore Streets, will be replaced.

He predicted they will actually be able to add to the building, with the settlement they will be getting. The Mayor believes it is $172,700.

The Mayor said they can actually get more for a trade in on the street sweeper, so they will not settle that. He added they can get a sweeper identical to the one they had for $199,000, including trade. He said it will be financed at a rate of 2.75 percent, which is much better than the compactor truck they just financed, after the board passed a resolution to lease/purchase it.

Curtis stated they do have an option on the other truck they need to purchase. Commissioner Dieterle said he has been in contact with Best Equipment and they would like payment in full for a new one. He brought a quote of $162,500 for a 2019 Freightliner, with a 30 to 45 day lead time. Dieterle stated the other quote was a 2020 Freightliner at $208,000.

Curtis explained the old trucks, once repaired, will have a ‘branded’ title. The sweeper will be traded in with a ‘branded’ title as well. The 2012 has some hydraulic leaks and needs work on the lights and wiring. He estimated the repairs will be between $10,000 and $12,000 to get

New look coming to Ford Retirement Communities interior

The Ford Home, a long-standing New Harmony tradition.

Special to the News The Charles Ford Retirement Communities of New Harmony residents are applauding the renovation and cosmetic changes that are to occur within their residence over the next few months. From fresh paint, to new flooring, to moving a wall in the dining area, the updates will bring a bright new look, while maintaining the traditional charm of Charles and Mollie Ford’s original home.

Already a remarkable difference has been made with the ongoing removal of the 1980s wallpaper and draperies in the parlor, in addition to the installation of

crown molding and chair railing in the hallways.

Renovations are expected to be completed by December when the residents and their families, along with the community at large, will celebrate the Holidays, together, at the annual Open House. All will be invited to an exciting unveiling of the new look at that time.

“The warmth and coziness of our beautiful space will remain,” said Amy Koch, the retirement communities’ administrator, “and will be met with modern touches that our residents and staff are excited to see.”

New Harmony native honored with Sachem Award Rapp joins exclusive company of John Wooden, Jane Owen, and the Gaithers

Dr. George Rapp

(USPS 439-500)

By Lois Mittino Gray “Do all you can, for as many people as you can, for as much as you can, for as long as you can,” is Dr. George Rapp’s motto for living. He voiced this lifelong mantra to the almost 150 people present to watch him receive the 2019 Sachem Award from Governor Eric J. Holcomb during a ceremony at the Indiana State Museum on Tuesday, August 27.

In his speech after receiving the award, the highest honor in the state, Dr. Rapp thanked those in attendance, especially his family and local people who drove up for the ceremony.

This included his wife, Peggy and family, Barb and Mick McConnell, Ann and Bob Scarafia, Pat Wilson, Laurie and Kent Parker, and Linda Volz, Director of the local Hoosier Art Salon.

Dr. Ron Rochon, President of the University of Southern Indiana and Andrea Gentry, USI Foundation, also attended to show their appreciation for his support of campus causes. “The

most moving part was George’s comment that he was so proud of his upbringing in the small town of New Harmony, Indiana,” McConnell said.

Rapp, a local Hoosier Humanitarian, has been a medical pioneer, champion of education and supporter of the arts throughout his life. The Sachem Award is given annually to recognize a lifetime of excellence and moral virtue that has brought credit and honor to Indiana. George is one of only 14 recipients of this award. He is the second hailing from Posey County, Jane Blaffer Owen being the first, receiving hers in 2007.

Other recipients include such notable names as John Wooden, Bill and Gloria Gaither, Eva Mozes Kor, and the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh.

Rapp is the third Sachem honoree selected

by Governor Holcomb. “Dr. George Rapp has helped make his hometown, our state and the world a much better place to live through his

devotion to the arts, education and medicine,” Governor Holcomb remarked. “You would be hard-pressed to find someone who has made the kind of impact he has in so many different fields.”

In the field of medicine, Dr. Rapp practiced for 35 years as an orthopedic surgeon before retiring. He served the majority of that time as chief of orthopedic surgery and the orthopedic residency program at Saint Vincent Hospital, clinical professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Indiana University School of Medicine, and Director of the Scoliosis Clinic at Riley Hospital for Children. In those roles, he treated a countless number of patients, including numerous children with scoliosis, and helped train many orthopedic surgery residents. An innovator, Rapp invented a hip prosthesis for total hip replacement and helped found Sofamor Danek, now

The Radium Girls and books

G Summer reading is sublime. I love the feeling of sitting on the back porch in the shade on a hot summer day, sipping a cold drink with oating fresh basil and mint from my garden, feeling a slight breeze waft o our lake, and turning the pages of a good book. Okay, I admit, sometimes I don’t have a real book in hand, but I sure can ďŹ nger swipe with air as I glide through a book on my KindleFire reading device.

I just ďŹ nished a book so good that I think about it a lot, even though I turned the last page days ago. Last night, I just couldn’t wait to tell my reading friends, Jan Kahle and Sharon York, about it when I met them for trivia. Before I could say the name, they countered with, “Wow! Do we ever have one to tell you about!â€?

You guessed it. We all couldn’t wait to tell each other about the same book, “Where The Crawdads Sing,� by Delia Owens.

It is a coming of age story of a little six year old girl who is abandoned by her parents in a disheveled shack in the salt marshes of the North Carolina low country. Kya survives on her own and learns the marsh, and that story is powerful.

A murder mystery is added into the fray and it’s a powerhouse book. I was entranced. Thanks to St. Wendel School Librarian Jane Koch, a longtime friend, for suggesting the book which has been number one on the New York Times bestseller list for many months. No wonder.

I also just devoured “Racing in the Rain�, the bestseller by Garth Stein, released as a movie in August. I spent the morning blubbering and crying as the book’s hilarious narrator, Enzo the dog, passes out of this world into the one he is waiting to enter. Seems Enzo (named after Enzo Ferrari) who likes the television on when his master is at work, watched a television documentary about dogs in Mongolia.

Mongolians believe that when an aged dog is ready to die, if they have been good, they become a human in the next life. Enzo, tired with

sore hips, proclaims himself ready to transform, as he separates from the racedriver owner he adores. The last chapter is magniďŹ cent and I won’t spoil it. I now ďŹ nd myself looking at my little Westie dog, Tucker, wondering what he is thinking in his head at times.

I read an eclectic mix of books. Sometimes I cluster on a topic. I love historical ďŹ ction, especially set in Renaissance Italy, so I just ďŹ nished three dealing with Sandro Botticelli and his famous artworks, “La Primaveraâ€? and “Birth of Venus.â€? They were “Botticelli’s Museâ€?, “Botticelli’s Secretâ€? and “The Most Beautiful Woman in Florence.â€? Now I’m ready to go back to Florence and look at those masterpieces that I’ve seen again with “new eyes.â€? “Unshelteredâ€?, by Barbara Kingsolver, is a book my best friend from high school asked me to read before our class reunion a few weeks ago. Very wordy and long, but it alternates chapters between two centuries of families in an old house. It, like “Crawdadsâ€? also was a great book for a naturalist like me, its explorations set in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. It features a real life historical naturalist named Mary Treat, who corresponded with the likes of Charles Darwin and Asa Gray.

My grandson encouraged me to read the “Endling� and “Endling 2� series for young adults. It was like a new “Lord of the Rings� fantasy adventure and I loved it! It has lots of unusual imaginary animals and a theme of strong friendship. Young readers, and kids at heart like me, thrive on stories like this.

This summer I surprised myself by re-reading three of my favorite early Stephen King novels. When I was a young girl, I delighted in how the author could get into my mind with his horror tales. King was inspired by the crazy brilliant writings of early horror master, HP Lovecraft, and so was I. “Salem’s Lot�, “Pet Sematary�, and “Christine� were once again in my head. Just the other day, a red 1958 Plymouth Fury was on the auction block on television. I stopped in my tracks as I passed my husband watching it on TV, to see a Christine-like car, fully restored. I wondered did someone do all that work or did the possessed demon car restore itself? Heh,heh.

Contrived horror is a fun mind game. Real life horror, such as the two recent mass shootings in a day, is awful. When I read the nonďŹ ction book, “The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America’s Shining Womenâ€? by Kate Moore that was a true-to-life horror story for me.

The Radium Girls were female factory workers who contracted radiation poisoning from painting watch dials with self-luminous paint.

But the girls, who literally glowed in the dark after their shifts, began to experience gruesome medical side eects. Dial painting was “the elite job for the poor working girlsâ€?; it paid more than three times the average factory job, and those lucky enough to land a position ranked in the top 5% of female workers nationally. Many of them were teenagers, with small hands perfect for the artistic work, and they spread the message of their new job’s appeal, mainly in the 1920’s and 30’s.

The women had been told the paint was harmless, and subsequently ingested deadly amounts of radium after being instructed to “pointâ€? their brushes on their lips in order to give them a ďŹ ne point; some also painted their ďŹ ngernails, face and teeth with the glowing substance. They made the most of the perk, wearing their good

dresses to the plant so they’d shine in the dance halls at night, and even painting radium onto their teeth for a smile that would knock their suitors out.

As they sickened, developing loss of teeth and jaw bones and developing cancers, some of the women, although in pain, began a raceagainst-time ďŹ ght for justice that would forever change US labor laws. Five challenged their employer in a case over the right of individual workers to sue their employers for disinformation and won nominal fees in 1938. One dying woman testiďŹ ed from her home on her death bed in the case that made national news.

Written with a sparkling voice and breakneck pace, “The Radium Girlsâ€? fully tells the tale of the inspiring young women exposed to the “wonderâ€? substance of radium, and their aweinspiring strength in the face of almost impossible circumstances. Their courage to ďŹ ght led to life-changing workman’s compensation and safety regulations.

Books are a necessary part of my life.

My friends. As in in immortal silly words of Groucho Marx, “Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog it’s too dark to read.�

Time for a change

B B R

It’s that time of year. School has started so many people immediately but unoďŹƒcially mentally change seasons from summer to fall.

Those of us who are fans of summer are feeling some sadness that temperatures will soon be falling below our comfort range. Those in love with cooler temps and pumpkin spice latte’ can hardly wait to begin bundling up in jackets and sweaters and start sipping those warm concoctions. While there are deďŹ nitely parts of autumn and winter that I enjoy, I will sincerely miss warm weather. With September 1 being the meteorological beginning of fall (although the autumnal equinox isn’t until September 23 this year), those in love with cooler weather see this date as the beginning of “theirâ€? season. This is a season of transitions in many phases of lives.

My garden is beginning to feel the change.

The tomatoes are putting all eorts into one last major harvest of fruit. Tomatoes don’t like extremely hot weather; it causes their skins to toughen up, protecting the soft, eshy cen-

ter. With the recent spate of cooler days and plenty of rain, my tomato plants are producing dozens of new fruits with much softer skins.

I pulled one o the plant one recent evening after work. It tasted amazing – there’s nothing like fresh, warm tomatoes for dinner. I also have enough green beans for one more meal.

And the bell peppers are still producing large green, red and yellow veggies for me. Plenty to eat fresh, and plenty to freeze for stir-fry during the winter. Yum. An unexpected plant this year is that of spaghetti squash, one of my favorite vegetables.

I compost everything I can – grass clippings, weeds (which I pull before they set seeds), and those parts of fresh fruits and vegetables that aren’t generally edible, such as seeds, stems, and roots. These materials, when left to themselves, break down into rich, brown compost that I use to feed my garden and plants. I prepare my spaghetti squash by cutting it in half lengthwise (being very careful not to cut o any ďŹ ngers – spaghetti squash, like most winter squash, has a very tough skin), scooping out the seeds inside, and then baking it until soft. After it cools, I use a fork to scrape out the meat into long, spaghetti-like strands (hence

its name), storing the squash in containers in the fridge. Heat up a serving of squash with butter, garlic, salt, and pepper, then garnish it with grated parmesan cheese – delightful. Or you can serve it with a tomato-based sauce, serving up spaghetti squash rather than spaghetti noodles. But I digress, sort of...

Remember that compost pile I described earlier? And that I remove the seeds from the spaghetti squash? Ta da. Free spaghetti squash plant. So far, I have discovered four lovely, oval-shaped squash growing from this free vine. I’m sure I’ll ďŹ nd more when the vine dies back as the weather cools. This same thing happened last year and I harvested about half a dozen squash. These store well in cool areas (another bonus use of my garage) so I had fresh, free spaghetti squash for several months last year. Score.

Flowers and shrubs and trees are also beginning to make preparations for the changing season. Summer owers are making a last push to share their color and fragrance. The days are getting shorter. The stores are chang-

ing products on their shelves (although I know it’s all in the marketing, but August, in my humble opinion, is way too soon to be selling Christmas ornaments).

We are transitioning from the laid-back summer with its vacations and summer sports and thunderstorms and humidity to fall with its harvests and changing colors and holidays and rain and colder temperatures. Let’s enjoy this move from lazy summer days to the hustle and bustle of the holidays and into nesting in the cold days of winter that are still some months ahead of us, from backyard barbecues to roasting marshmallows over open ďŹ res, from open-toed sandals to closed-toed athletic shoes (OK, some wear ip-ops all year round – go ďŹ gure). The point is that there are special moments and memories in all seasons, of weather and our emotions and our everyday lives. Enjoy them all, remembering that even the extremely hot or cold moments of the seasons or of personal situations move forward into better times – always. And remembering all those moments is all that matters.

I understand the irresistible control nicotine can have.

Internship positions are open to college sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students and recent graduates of all majors. Students can apply for internships in a variety of areas, focusing on legislative operations, communications and media relations, policy or ďŹ scal policy.

The positions are full-time, Monday through Friday, lasting from January through midMarch. Interns receive biweekly compensation of $750, and can earn academic credit through their college or university. McNamara said interns are also eligible to apply for a competitive $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate and graduate expenses.

“If you got ’em, smoke ’emâ€? not lie down on the tavern oor.

Even immediate death from a pistol was not as frightening as dying without a last cigarette. Perhaps the bar patron was envisioning all those old black and white movies where the condemned prisoner is aorded a ďŹ nal smoke before the ďŹ ring squad does its grisly work.

As for me, a one-time smoker who now would need a gun to my head to make me smoke, I recalled what a death grip nicotine had on me years ago. When I joined the United States Air Force and was ordered to Basic Training at Lackland Air Force Base near San Antonio, Texas in the sweltering summer heat of 1963 what my country required

of me was a rude awakening; no girls, no beer and, cruelest of all, no cigarettes except when allowed by our TI’s (Training Instructors).

We had three TI’s for our ight of 85 men. Each one tried his best to make us feel like Luke in Cool Hand Luke. They left no doubt in our young minds that all of America’s problems were caused by our “Failure to communicate,â€? that is, to simply already know what the TI’s meant by various shouts and grunts.

One such shout was that we had better not even think of smoking without permission. At the same time we were told the time might come when we would be allowed to smoke but if we did not have any cigarettes

available at that time, “Too bad!�.

Of course, since the TI’s inspected our pockets every day the sadistic sergeants thought we would be unable to smoke even when given the chance. However, my habit was such I stued a full pack of Lucky Strikes with two wooden matches down into my left sock and prayed for when relief would come. One 100 degree day it did. At a break in the fun the TI’s were having running us through some nonsense drill one TI suddenly yelled, “If you got ’em, smoke ’em!â€? Well, to the TI’s chagrin, I had ’em and passed one out to each member of my 18-man squad and had each one light the next man’s from his. I was a hero to

my guys. Unfortunately, my reward from the TI’s was KP for two days.

It was worth it even though I almost keeled over due to the heat and the long period without nicotine from those stale, sweat-stained cancer causers.

Anyway, that was then and this is now and while I understand the Saint Louis smoker’s Hobson’s choice between going smokeless or maybe getting shot, except for the occasional celebratory cigar, I’ll now voluntarily stick with what the Air Force tried to do for me in 1963.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2019

Technology and AT&T own my soul

Madeleine, there always seems to be B something going on to C P

stress me out. The past few weeks have been about health concerns, for both me and your Grandfather.

All of that will hopefully improve and resolve itself. I have been advised to take it a day at a time. I have written quite a few words about all of this, so I won’t elaborate at this time. Whenever I hear problems regarding others, I try to feel concern and let it give me a reason to understand perspective.

My other main stress maker has been centered on technology, and trying to understand and adapt to changes. I greatly appreciate my new table-top computer and keyboard. Brandon Stovall is one of the most patient people that I know. It has to be hard to explain things to someone as old and under-educated in computer things as I am.

Let alone my age and experience, I ďŹ nd myself forgetting things much more now. I try to make notes and write things down, but I end up in a state of confusion.

I was recently advised to switch to the now-available AT&T internet. It is much faster and aordable. I tried to ask as many questions as possible, but, of course, it is hard to even know what to ask. I am sure that the answers were geared to a person from a generation that has much more understanding.

I have all of my “gadgets� linked to AT&T, so my IPhone was also demanding new passwords. I like the new technology of many things, as long as it is easy for

me. I have a lot of things in my brain, like phone numbers, many passwords, birthdays, and so on. However, I did not want to have them “scoot over� and make room for more.

I have a book of passwords and other information that I have been compiling for a long time. Many of the old things have been changed. I look through it and have a hard time knowing which is current. Any younger person probably cannot relate to my woes about all of this.I explained it to Grandpa by telling him that when he went to his workshop to fetch a hammer, he would ďŹ nd a note asking for his user name and password to get the location.

And, of course, there would be a dierent one to get a saw or a handful of nails. I say this in jest, but I would not be surprised if our world someday was very much like this. When I am a handful of dust in a jar, my great-grandchildren can probably enter a 9 digit number and hear a message from me, plus all the information about my life.

I can remember an old science ďŹ ction book I read many years ago, where every human being was only a number.

At that time, nobody really believed this could happen. I know that I am ďŹ ghting a tidal wave of change to all of this, but it seems so unnecessary.

Many of my older friends, as well as Grandpa, resist learning a lot of things. When necessary, they turn to someone else to set up televisions and phones. This generation will pass on, of course, but surely there will always be some folks who simply can’t do all that is necessary to survive in the world.

Box 397, New Harmony, IN 47631, or email: news@ poseycountynews.com

When we get to the place that even the most simple of tasks cannot be taken care of in the “old� way, I think that it is very wrong. Everyone should not be required to remember a password to make toast. Much of the workforce of tomorrow will have to learn all of this, of course.

Many jobs we used to be able to apply for will disappear.

Think of what is already gone. Young boys cannot work in a gas station as an attendant. Nobody pumps the gas and washes the windshields.

Instead of a receptionist, we check ourselves into a doctor’s oďŹƒce at an IPad. Voice mail is increasingly difďŹ cult to get past. There is no friendly voice to answer questions or make appointments. A recording suggests we visit www.take-out your own appendix. This seems to be the way things will happen.

To some extent, all of this will be helpful, and perhaps will be more aordable, but concerning so much, it is just horrible. The government will continue to pay folks to be unemployed, because jobs will disappear. Compassion and common sense will no longer be a factor, because human beings won’t be taking care of anything.

If it were possible to come back and observe the future, I think it will be very scary. Individual choice will continue to become something from the past. Everyone will wear the same clothes, have the same hair, and let a future car drive them someplace. National parks and green spaces will not be here. Folks may not even go outside, because climate change will have made that impossible.

If all this sounds far-fetched, what do you think that your grandparents would think of current things.

River Days set for Sept. 13-15 Mount Vernon River Days – an annual tradition in its 12th year. River Days is a fun, family-friendly festival mainly held along Water and Main Streets in downtown Mount Vernon on the banks of the Ohio River. From craft and food booths to antique tractors, classic cars, motorcycles, color run and ďŹ reworks, there is something for everyone. Smoke on the Ohio’s BBQ competition celebrating its 11th year will, once again, have smokers from near and far competing for the best tasting, mouth-watering BBQ this side of the Mississippi.

The theme for this year’s parade is “A Heritage of Neighbors Helping Neighbors.� Applications for the parade as well as the Pet Parade and the Little Miss and Mister pageant can be found on the website at mtvernonriverdays.com along with the Schedule of Events for the weekend, or keep up with all the latest festival information on the Mt.

Briefly Legion Riders Bike and Jeep Show set for Sept. 14 The Legion Riders Post 5 will be holding their 6th annual bike and jeep show on Saturday, September 14 during the Mount Vernon River Days. Each year the Riders chose a veteran organization to donate money to. This will be the fourth year in a role we have chosen Soldier Dogs for Independence to fund raise for. There are several reasons that make Soldier Dogs an easy choice. We know the money donated stays in the tri-state area to help our local veterans. Helping a veteran anywhere is great but it is really nice to know it could be someone in our home town. Another reason that makes this an easy choice is that we are also rescuing a dog. That is deďŹ nitely a win, win situation. Last year’s event allowed the Riders to fund six rescue dogs to be trained for six veterans. Normally the show is held on Main Street but due to the construction it may be Third from Main to Walnut with the Court house parking lot. There will be a rae with six tickets for $5. We are also raing a hockey table valued at $500 for $5 a chance as well as a very nice pool table at $20 a chance. You do not have to be present to win but you are required to pick up your items within the following week. Even if you are not able to participate in the bike and Jeep show you can help support the event but taking a chance on one of the raes. The rae will be set up to buy tickets at 10 a.m. Registration is 10-12 p.m.; Show is 12 – 2 p.m. Awards at 3 p.m. followed by the announcing the rae winners.

Pc Pound Puppies Holiday Show 2019 Hello vendors, I hope that all of you have had a wonderful summer. It seems like only minutes ago when we were at the Spring event in April. However it is already time to plan the Holiday Show.

There is one small change, concerning the date of the show. I have always told folks that it is the Saturday prior to Thanksgiving. However, due to the way dates fall this year, it is a little earlier. Thanksgiving is on November 28, and the show is on November 16. Yes, there are five Saturdays.

Almost everything else is the same.

It will be in the Ribeyre Gym and Annex in New Harmony, and the fee is $30 per eight-foot table. I get a lot of questions about the spaces. We supply the tables and chairs and they will be set up when you get there. Everyone, to be fair, gets the same amount of room.

If possible, I try to accommodate individual needs, but bear in mind, this is the main size booth we offer. This is one of the reasons we can keep the cost down. To almost everyone, eight foot is adequate.

As always, call me with questions now. Set up is possible around noon on Friday, and, of course, Saturday morn-

ing after 7 a.m. The doors open to the public at 9 a.m. Late arrivals disrupt things, so please do not wait until 8:45 to start set-up. One thing that I am going to change this year is holding spaces for brand names. I have ended up with nobody selling whatever it might be. In other words, if you sell Oragami Owl, for example, send in your reservation early. I will take the first postmarked one that I receive. I will no longer just assume you are coming and paying on the day of the show. You have nearly three months to send me your reservation. Judging from the number of folks who have already contacted me, I predict this will be a very big turnout, both with vendors and patrons.

Please read this part carefully: Make your checks payable to PC Pound Puppies, not to me. Include a full size sheet of paper with your information, no matter how many times you have been there. I don’t have time to look up old records.

Send to: PC Pound Puppies; 4301 AJ Drive N; Wadesville, Indiana 47638.

Show times are from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Include Name, Address, all phone numbers, email, what you will be sell-

ing, and anything else I need to know.

Many of you have become like a little family, and PC Pound Puppies appreciates your help in making this show a success. If you follow the “news� about various dogs throughout the year, you know how important it is, to get funding.

Contact me if you need any information: 812-963-3890; leave a message if necessary, or 812-499-6413; GarnetMist@aol.com.

We ask for an item to add to our popular raffle baskets. Please include your business card and it will be good advertising for you. Most items are okay to sell, but if you have any questions about this, call me. It is the Holiday show, so folks should be doing their Christmas shopping.

My list of possible vendors gets longer and more out-of-date every year.

Like almost everything on the internet, you may continue to get these letters, even if you have told me you no longer need to.

Any help from all of you is appreciated, from volunteering to publicizing in advance.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Sermon of the Week: Habakkuk 3:17-19 (KJV) Brother Tom 17 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: 18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. 19 The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.

Do you ever feel like a cat in a room full of rocking chairs? Is someone about to get on your last nerve? Did you just spill that cup of hot coffee in your lap when someone pulled out in front of you? Then welcome to the real world! Yes, your life can have stress. Even Jesus faced some stress in life. Jesus would give His disciples something to do and they would question His direc-

tions (John 6:7). Jesus would be stressed when the faith of the disciples was put to the test (Matthew 17:17). It seems that everyone suffers from stress at sometime in life. Stress can cause emotional and physical illness.

Stress may cause you to become hyper-productive. And yes, stress can cause you to shut down completely. What do you do when you get stressed? Having a temper tantrum is not the answer.

Pills and liquids will not help us overcome the stress.

In order to overcome the stress of life and keep life in balance, we must surrender our life to God. That’s right!

God is the answer to the stress of life.

When Jesus experienced the stress of putting up with people He would seek a place to get with God the Father. Jesus often went to a quite place alone and would spend time with the Father. Jesus taught us the

importance of being with our Heavenly Father. In times of stress we need the assurance that God is with us and that He cares for us. Stress gets high when we experience problems with our family, our jobs, our finances, and our health. When we seek God we find that God has an answer for each of these needs. God is aware of the stress that we feel. But, God is also aware of weather we are trusting Him or seeking to solve the problem ourselves. Got problems, God has answers!

Habakkuk saw and experienced some real problems in life. The fig tree would not blossom, there would be no fruit on the vine, there would be no meat in the fields, and no herd of cattle. We can translate this into our life?

It means that life was tough and getting worse. What did Habakkuk do? He rejoiced in the Lord. He found joy in the presence of God. He knew

that God was his salvation.

God would deliver him from the stress of life. God would be his strength, and God would lift him up above the stress of life. When we learn to trust in God and rejoice in God we will be on our way to overcoming our stress. When the rocking chair gets close to your tail follow the direction of God and move away from it. Allow God to move you from the stress of life.

Look at the good things that God has done. Think about where God has brought you from and when He can take you if you are willing to follow. God has the answer to

the stress you face in life.

When it seems that the world is on your last nerve, it’s time to rejoice in the Lord. Begin to praise God that it’s not as bad as it could be. Praise God that you can call upon Him and He will hear you. Praise God that you are not alone in your stress knowing that He will not leave or forsake you.

Praise God that the victory over stress is yours because God is going before you to fight your battle with stress.

God is our strength and He will give us the strength to overcome every stressful event in our life. All we need

to do is trust Him, give the problem to Him, and then wait and praise Him for the victory. Will stress ever come again? Yes, but we still have the same plan to follow.

James said, “Count it all joy when you experience stress” (James 1:2) “Tom’s translation! Now, give your stressful event to God, get up, and get going. You have something to rejoice in the Lord about. You are the winner!

I have prayed for you this morning. I pray that you will trust God in your stressful time and be assured that as you praise Him He will give you the victory.

‘Farms eligible, continued from Page A1 gible for assistance from the Farm Service Agency, provided certain requirements are met. This includes access to low-interest FSA emergency loans, which may be used to: restore or replace essential property, pay all or part of production costs associated with the disaster year, pay essential family living expenses, reorganize the farming operation, and refinance certain debts.

In order to qualify, farm operators must show at least a 30 percent loss in crop production or a physical loss to livestock, livestock products, real estate or chattel property. Farmers can borrow up to 100 percent of actual production or physical losses to a maximum amount of $500,000, according to USDA. “This has been an unprecedented year for Indiana farmers,” said Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch, Indiana’s Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. “I applaud Gov-

ernor Holcomb, the Indiana Farm Service Agency and our state department of agriculture for making this assistance available.”

In addition to emergency loans, farmers with existing FSA loans, who are unable to make their payments, may be eligible to have certain payments deferred. Farmers are encouraged to work with their local FSA office for assistance regarding payment forbearance or emergency disaster loans.

“Farmers, who have been doing this their entire lives, acknowledge this has been one of the toughest seasons on record, and we’re not in the clear yet,” said Bruce Kettler, Indiana State Department of Agriculture Director. “While we know this isn’t a cure-all solution, this assistance is welcome news and will help those severely impacted.”

For a list of Farm Service Agency offices in Indiana, visit www.fsa.usda.gov. Deadline to apply for emergency loans is April 29, 2020.

‘Main Street Project’ continued from Page A1 it up and running again. There could also be some issues with the electronics, but he feels that is a chance they need to take. Dieterle added it will make an excellent back up truck.

Board member Larry Williams moved permission be given to keep the trucks and proceed and it was approved. All in all, Mayor Curtis summed up that the city will have a 2019, 2017 and 2012 trucks, two of which are new, and a new street sweeper. They were going to put a new packer in the budget for next year, so once it is all said and done, the city will have spent $100,000 more than they

would have had they gone that route. Everything will be paid off in three years.

Williams again thanked Curtis and Dieterle for all of their hard work on this matter, and noted that they have done a good job.

In other board action: • Police Chief Tony Alldredge stated, since the last meeting, his department took 267 calls.

Fire Chief Wes Dixon reported 33 calls since then - 3 fire runs, 28 medical runs, and two accidents.

• After reviewing two quotes, the board approved the purchase of a new air compressor

from Pro Air for $33,000. Pro Air has been doing their service work since 1998, when they bought the used compressor they have now.

This compressor fills their tanks and MSA’s, but no longer works. Williams asked about a possible trade in on the new one. Chief Dixon replied, “They laughed when asked I about a trade in. It really isn’t worth anything.” He added there is $32,000 in the Public Safety Budget and the balance will come from the equipment line in the Fire Department Budget.

• Utilities Superintendent Chuck Gray gave an update on the East Side Gravity Flow Sew-

er Project. They will mobilize August 26 and start digging on August 28. The entire project needs to be complete by October 31. Since the last meeting, his department checked several trouble lines and cleaned 3.005 feet of sewer main.

• Street Commissioner Max Dieterle reported, since the last meeting, his department brought in $420 in extra trash and hauled 112 tons to the landfill.

• The August 29 meeting of the board was cancelled, as it would be the third meeting of the month.

‘Paul wins Spirit Award’ continued from Page A1 to make a prototype artificial hand for herself. After modifying designs she found online, she developed several models: an all-black one, a pink ‘Princess’ hand and a red white and blue, ‘Superhero’ hand.

In time, she became a member of the Enable computer network of ideas and sharing. Her world opened up and she decided to give others ‘a hand.’ The Enable network hooked her up with ‘clients’ needing hands. Kenzie gets their measurements and tweaks her designs to fit each individual. She showed a short video clip of a ten year old boy from Virginia trying out a hand she designed for him. She does not charge for her hands, as she gets donations for the materials used in her “Kenzie’s Helping Hands Project.” She has a website by that name that shows more.

Currently, she is in a special class that encourages working on a ‘Passion Project’ in Technology with Mr. Krizan, and she is designing a sleeker, larger model hand and arm.

“She’s one amazing young woman. She’s going on to do great things,” Sharber predicted. “We’re so proud to have her as our Youth Ambassador,” noted United Way Executive Director Rod Clark.

A plaque and a $500 check were presented to Kenzie by the award’s namesake, Elizabeth Baier. The former United Way Director explained the award is not a scholarship and it is chosen on merit in three areas: leadership, volunteer work, and community involvement. Fourteen applications were received, narrowed to three, and one selected by a committee of judges. Kenzie said she will be donating the award money

to charitable causes, such as the Riley Dance Marathon and STEM programs for females. The generous young woman encouraged others in the audience to put money in her donation basket for these causes, too.

After the award presentation, Posey County United Way President Phillip Wells reported to the group that last year’s goal was set at $650,000. “Things were slow, but it bounced back, and we exceeded our goal by collecting $653,111.” Joe Crissup, First Vice President, announced that this year’s kickoff launch has set the goal at $675,000.

“This year your contribution can have even more impact as we have a grant that will match any new gift of $100 or more or an increase of $100 or more from anyone who is already a Leadership

Giver,” Crissup encouraged.

There are 18 local agencies that receive United Way money. Rod Clark introduced representatives of three of them who told their stories. Leah Hendrix, representing the Salvation Army, said she had to go on disability at 30 years old with a rare disease. “Your help, when I was vulnerable and hurting, helped keep my lights and water on and raise my daughter, even though you didn’t know us.”

Amanda Disney spoke of the good works she saw working as an intern in college at Family Matters. “Beth Russell is a superwoman who tries to help anybody as best as she can,” Disney remarked with admiration. Red Cross spokesman Jerry Kuykendall told of the money spent on natural disaster relief in the county, especially flooding in Pointe Township, and the program

Although he stays so busy, Dr. Rapp always has time to talk to passersby and acquaintances about New Harmony’s legacy and ongoing issues, such as the fate of the old school building and the bridge. He loves to entertain his friends and associates, often hosting parties and meetings in his art-filled home.

Dr. Rapp received a specially designed sculpture that captures the Native American heritage of the Sachem. His name will be added to the plaque in the Rotunda with the other honorees.

In 1970, Governor Edgar D. Whitcomb introduced the “Confederacy of the Sachem,” a group of business, industry, publishing, banking and legal leaders, who served as state hosts, The welcoming visitors to Indiana and promoting the state’s culture

and economy. The organization’s name came from the Algonquin term applied to village leaders, implying wisdom, judgment and grace.

Following Whitcomb’s term, the Sachem project was not pursued, and the organization dissolved in 1989. Whitcomb visited Governor Mitch Daniels in 2005 to acquaint him with the concept and to give him custody of remaining Sachem funds. Daniels recreated the Sachem to underscore the importance of moral example as achievement alone, without exemplary virtue, does not qualify a person for this recognition.

This high honor is certainly a tribute to “our 5G George.”

Generous, gregarious, good-natured, gutsy, and glorious George. Congratulations!

to give out free fire alarms to county residents.

Randy Owens, Pastor at Johnson United Methodist Church, summed up what the

United Way is all about in a thought from his invocation before the dinner was served.

“When people are united, great things can be achieved.”

a division of Medtronic, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of spinal instrumentation.

In the field of education, the good doctor’s influence has had global impact. He has provided college scholarships to graduating seniors at New Harmony High School, been a lead fundraiser for the Indiana University School of Medicine, worked with the Indiana University Kenya program to supply volunteer orthopedic surgeons to help further orthopedic education in Africa, and been instrumental in developing surgical suites and housing facilities at Moi University in Eldoret, Kenya.

Never one to slow down after retirement, Dr. Rapp has devoted his life to numerous philanthropic efforts. He works with such groups as Crossroads of America Boy Scouts, the Indiana Historical Society, the Indiana State Museum and Indiana Landmarks. He actively supports Hoosier Salon events in Indianapolis as a patron of the arts with wife Peggy, as they have a home in the Capital City. Peggy especially loves gardening and the Rapps’ helped restore the Ravine Garden at Newfields in Indianapolis.

The pair also has a residence in George’s hometown of New Harmony on Granary Street and return to it frequently to support arts events and local festivals. As proponents of the arts, the couple helped start the New Harmony Hoosier Salon Art Gallery and the annual “First Brush of Spring” New Harmony Paint Out, now in its 21st year.

Wildcats retain their claim on Posey County News cup

By Dave Pearce The annual battle for the Posey County News Cup was close for awhile on Friday night at Memorial Stadium in Mount Vernon. But after the North Posey Vikings drew to within 28-17 in the third quarter, the Wildcats exploded and eventually won the game going away, 5624. Both Mount Vernon Coach Cory Brunson and North Posey Coach Waylon Schenk agreed, Mount Vernon was the better team on Friday night.

“They are good, they play hard, and they had a good game plan,” Viking Coach Waylon Schenk said following the game. “When were we down 28-17, I felt like the odds were stacked against us a little bit but we quit. We gave them three touchdowns there at the end of the game that were just ridiculous. We folded up shop.”

The Wildcats were coming off a 36-0 loss to high-powered Heritage Hills and the Vikings were coming off a win over South Spencer. So what was the difference for the Wildcats this week?

“I thought we did some good things last week,” Wildcat Coach Cory Brunson said after the game.

“The score didn’t reflect it but we took a lot of things from last week to build on for this week. I thought tonight we corrected some of our mistakes from last week.”

Things started seemingly well for

But the Vikings were unable to

Viking soccer boys take one of three in close matches

By Chris Morlan The North Posey boys’ soccer team played three games last week. Last Tuesday and Thursday did not go in favor of the Vikings, but Saturday’s game went in favor of North Posey with an 8-0 win. Junior Garrett Parker played a great game scoring four goals. Parker scored his third goal of the game with thirteen minutes remaining in the first half to claim a school record with the fastest hat-trick. Tanner Tichenor also had a great game with three goals and two assists. The other North Posey goal came from Trystan Merrit. Preston Lockwood was given credit for two assists and Troy Droege also had one assist on a goal.

North Posey traveled to South Spencer last Thursday night in some conference action. South Spencer won the Class 1A Sectional that North Posey also participates in during last years’ postseason tournament. Viking senior Trystan Merrit scored a goal on a penalty kick to give the Vikings a early 1-0 lead with 14:31 remaining in the first half. Prior to the Merrit goal, North Posey Coach Rylan Gentil received a yellow card by the referees. South Spencer bounced back in the game and scored two goals with 11:25 and 9:10 to take the lead 2-1 at the halftime recess. No goals were scored in the second half and South Spencer beat North Posey by the final score of 2-1. For the game, Viking goalkeeper Brinden Morrell had a good game with nine saves on eleven shots on goal.

After the game, Coach Gentil said, “Again this game was a hard one to swallow, we played our tactic well just the ball did

not ever quite bounce our way. The field we played on was the first action it saw from the South Spencer Rebels, so it was shaky at times with some beach popping up in patches to help the grass take to the field faster which made the ball hard to read off the hop. We took the lead by Tanner Tichenor drawing a penalty kick which was converted by Trystan Meritt due to Tichenor having to come off the field for a bit for treatment. There were illegal throw-ins called during the entire game which cost us on a small field because of the no calls on the throw-ins but it was something our team failed to deal with. This will provide a great learning experience for our boys for the rest of the season. The game ended 2-1 in favor of a young South Spencer team. The boys just need to remember that it is a sixteen- game campaign for sectional, so every game from now on until then is always going to provide us an opportunity to learn from our mistakes.”

Tuesday night, the Vikings traveled to Fort Branch grade school to take on the Gibson Southern Titans. Many of the Titan fans expected a blowout. Instead, the fans received an exciting first half. This game went scoreless at 0-0 in the first half and even the Titans announcer was in shock by the outcome going into the second half. The second half was a little different, when Gibson Southern scored all four of their goals in a ten-minute span at the 31:36, 24:37, 22:49 and 21:34 marks. Two of the four goals should have been called for offsides and another goal was

made off a penalty kick and not sure what the penalty was called for in the game. This took the momentum out of North Posey and they lost the game by the final score of 4-1. The highlight of the game was Viking Freshman Troy Droege scoring his first goal of his high school career with 1:18 remaining in the game.

Riley Basham was given credit for the assist on the Droege goal.

Coach Gentil said, “We played a tough game against one of our biggest rivals. By watching the game, you would assume that we were on the back foot of the ball for the majority of the game. However, we played our tactics correctly but fell apart for a span of seven to ten minutes, which cost us a quadruplet of unlikely goals and an unfortunate penalty kick. After that mental breakdown, we never looked like we were losing the entire game after that. We scored a brilliant team goal starting with a dead ball played by Cordale Straub who played quickly to Preston Lockwood who laid it off to Tanner Tichenor to send Riley Basham through down the righthand flank. Riley crossed the ball with his first touch overshooting a great run by Garrett Parker, but the ball landed in front of Troy Droege who through his name into the fight and won by putting the ball past Gibson Southern’s keeper. If you would go back and watch the game film just from the sixtieth minute on you could have assumed that we were scoring left and right because of how easily we broke down their defense time after time.”

‘Cats golf, tennis compete

By Thomas Butler The Mount Vernon girls golf team had two match-ups this week. They competed against Boonville at Western Hills Country Club on Tuesday 27. The Wildcats defeated the Pioneers with a total team score of 211-271.

In boy’s tennis, The Mount Vernon boys tennis team had three matches last week and though they each ended in a loss for Mount Vernon, they were learning experiences and a chance to focus on improvements.

On Tuesday the boys traveled to Southridge. “We lost to Southridge 5-0. Southridge played really well. They have a nice squad and good players,” head coach Paul Quinzer said.

Wednesday’s match brought Mater Dei to town.

“We did not play well. We lost a couple of matches we could have won, so we handed Mater Dei their first win in a 2-3 match,” Qunizer said. Number three singles, senior Pake Davis, made quick work of his opponent and defeated him 6-2, 6-2.

The number two doubles duo of sophomores Alessandro Bommarito and Matthias Gates won in three, 4-6, 6-2, 3-6.

Thursday’s match-up saw Princeton on the Wildcat’s home court.

“Several of the matches were close, but we didn’t pull out any wins and fell 0-5. However, we played better than Wednesday night. We put out a lot of effort and heart against Princeton, which is probably the best team we have faced thus far,” Quinzer said.

The boys play again Tuesday, September 3 at 4:30 at home against Central.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2019

THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS - PAGE B3

‘Posey Cup’ continued from Page B1 a touchdown pass to Austin as the crafty senior eluded three would-be tacklers on his way to a 60-yard touchdown to give the Wildcats the early lead at the four-minute mark of the first quarter.

The Vikings ran out the quarter moving the ball slowly but surely upfield and after they rode the running of Lowe to get into scoring position, Reidford went in from four yards out to tie the score at seven early in the second period.

Neither team scored again until Brady Hook got into the action for a big 25-yard gain. Snodgrass used all his weapons to finish off the drive as he kept the ball for five, passed again to Curtis for a good gain, completed another pass to Austin for a first down, and Brent Ricketts caught a pass for four. That’s when Snodgrass found Austin for the score to give the Wildcats a 14-7 lead with 3:02 remaining in the first half. “Our skilled people at those positions have been starting there for three years in a row‌ since they were sophomores,â€? Brunson said. “I felt like we had the potential to put a game together like this one but tonight was somewhat of an unknown. We expected it to be different than last week but it is still early in the year and we still have to learn the strengths and weaknesses of our team.â€?

The Vikings took the ensuing kick-off and appeared poised to move the ball. Lowe had four and Wiggins had three and Lowe got the first down. A nice pass to Nate Willman took the ball to the 35 and that’s when disaster struck.

Wiggins was looking for an open receiver and as the defense was closing in, he hurled the ball in the direction of an open spot on the field but Wildcat Bronson Quinzer had obviously been paying attention. He grabbed the interception and headed into the end zone for a pick six and the Wildcats went ahead 21-7.

On the ensuing drive, the Vikings fumbled the ball inside their own 15-yard line and another Wildcat score seemed eminent. But the Viking defense averted first-half disaster by forcing a Wildcat fumble on the 14 and the Vikings rode out the half to trail 21-7 at the half. “We were fortunate that this play did not come back to bite us,� Brunson said after the game. “We can’t have plays like that. We also had some penalties that ended drives that should have kept going. We still have an awful lot of work to do.�

After the half, the Vikings caught the break they thought they needed. A tipped pass came down into the hands of Viking Thomas Turner and the junior rambled back to the Wildcat 15. Lowe scored on a 4-yard run and after a Tichenor extra point, the Vikings were within 21-14 at the 10:10 mark of the third quarter.

The Wildcats wasted little time getting on

the board again as they used a balanced attack to move the ball to the one where Ricketts got the call again and with Angel’s extra point, gave the Wildcats a 28-14 lead at the 6:21 mark of the third period.

The Vikings moved the ball well when they got it back but their drive stalled on the 35-yard line. However, Tichenor was up to the challenge and easily nailed the 45-yard field goal to put the Vikings to within 28-17 late in the third period.

But the Wildcats took over in the fourth quarter. Austin scored on a 25-yard pass and Trevor Frisby picked off a Wiggins offering near mid-field and returned it for another pick six and the Wildcats suddenly led 41-17 with 7:42 remaining in the game. But the Wildcats were not finished and from all indications, the Vikings were.

Senior Dylan Murray then took over. He ran through and over the Viking defense for a score at the 4:41 mark to give the Wildcats more than enough at 49-17. And then a Viking fumble at the 35 gave the ball back to the Wildcats and on the first play from scrimmage, Murray rambled virtually untouched into the end zone for yet another Wildcat score to put the Wildcats ahead 56-17. “I told them after the game, don’t ever quit again,� Schenk said. “Don’t quit on each other and don’t quit on me, don’t quit on the team and don’t quit on the community. We are better than that. It was a good game, a physical game and it went back and forth. But turnovers got us and the big play got us. We told them we could not afford to give up the big play and we did.

We told them we couldn’t turn the ball over but we did.�

Late in the game, back-up quarterback Harold Bender found Lucas Bass for a 60-yard touchdown play the make the final score 56-24.

Wildcat quarterback Rhett Snodgrass finished the evening 19-of-26 for 264 yards and three scores while Austin had a field day, catching 12 passes for 200 yards and three scores.

Murray finished with 83 yards on six carried while Hook had 80 yards on 14 carries. Curtis caught five passes for 34 yards while Hook caught one for 16 and Murray caught one for 14.

For the Vikings, Wiggins was 4-for-10 with a pair of interceptions. The Vikings were unable to move the ball on the ground as the Wildcats limited Lowe to 53 yards on 16 carries and Wiggins to 42 yards on five carries. Reidford had two catches for 17 yards while Lowe and Adrean Lukeman each had a reception for eight yards. “Zach Lowe ran the ball hard and Brady ran the ball hard,� Schenk said. “For the most part, our interior guys played well and pretty much shut down the run until there at the end.

After the match, North Posey Head Coach Derek Sweeney said, “what a beautiful day to play a match and many thanks to Tell City for making the trip and playing hard. The ladies moved the ball around very well and showed creativity both on and off the ball. They showed the hard work in training is beginning to pay off. The younger players all played well and proved their worth on the pitch. Again, the ladies held their shape well and we made some changes on the back line which proved to be a boost for building out of the back. A great day for North Posey Lady Vikings soccer moving forward and very proud of them all.�

North Posey played their first home game of the year last Thursday against the South Spencer Lady Rebels.

The Lady Vikings played well but lost to the Lady Rebels 5-0. South Spencer caught them off guard throughout the game for their goals. With 35:08 remaining in the first half, the Lady Rebels scored their first goal of the game and an early 1-0 lead. The Lady Rebels scored two more goals in the first half to lead the game 3-0 at the halftime break.

During the second half, North Posey played better and had a few chances to score. North Posey struggled with putting all the pieces

together and completing the plan for a goal. One of the plays was Lauren Zirkelbach passing a perfect ball to Brooke Coleman that kicked the ball right over the goal post. Those shots will come together, and goals will pop up on the scoreboard soon for this Lady Viking team. South Spencer scored two goals in the second half with 21:44 and 19:05 remaining in the game.

Coach Sweeney said, “our ladies did a much better job filling space and maintaining shape throughout the match.

There were many brilliant moments of play throughout the eighty minutes, but again we struggled closing on the ball defensively and could not connect well up top to find the net. Our ladies are learning each day and from each match. Lots of new theory and philosophy for them to adopt in a very short amount of time, but they are picking it up quickly and again, are getting better each time we are on the pitch.�

The North Posey girls’ soccer team played their first game of the year at Gibson Southern last Tuesday afternoon. This is also the first game for Head Coach Derek Sweeney leading the Lady Vikings. The Lady Titans are a very good team that controlled this contest and beat the Lady Vikings 10-1.

Gibson Southern scored first goal of the game with 33:41 for early 1-0 lead. The Lady Titans scored again at

the 31:39 mark of the first half. lady Titan goal with 15:36 left in first half. Gibson Southern led 3-0 at halftime.

During the first half, the Lady Titans dominated possession of the ball.

During the start of the second half, the Lady Vikings played more aggressive than the first half and moved the ball better. Gibson Southern scored seven goals in the second half. When North Posey would get possession of the ball, Gibson Southern would take the ball away. Lauren Zirkelbach scored the Lady Vikings only goal of the game with 32:37 remaining.

After the Zirkelbach goal, the score was 4-1. Gibson Southern then rallied to score six more goals to close out this game.

Coach Sweeney said, “the ladies started off with good intensity and held their shape well for the first few series of play, but Gibson Southern did a good job of stretching the middle third and our defense out. We never could quite get a good step on the ball and could not closedown the channels. We left ourselves exposed making it easy for Gibson Southern to rally up the score. Offensively, we worked their mids and defense well, but only found the back of the net once with beautiful piece of play from Lauren Zirkelbach.�

North Posey’s Brady Reidford is upended during Friday night’s football game against the Mount Vernon Wildcats. Photo by Dave Pearce We had guys that were playing well but when they needed somebody to make a big play, they made a big play. When we needed a big play, we didn’t get it. Sometimes that’s how this game goes.�

Defensively, the Wildcats had 17 players with at least a tackle assist led by Frisby and Hook with two tackles each. Sophomore River Snodgrass joined Ricketts, Blake Ritzert, and Quinzer with three tackles each. Rhett Snodgrass, Kyle Simpson, and Leo Hostetter each had a pair of tackles. Dalton Schmitt, Kayden Hamilton, Brock Ricketts, and Aaron Batteiger each had a single tackle.

For the Vikings, Turner and Zach Cox led

the team with three tackles apiece while Reidford, Nate Willman, and Wyatt Willman had two apiece. Lowe, Isaac Myers, and Rylee Thompson had a tackle each. “This is not our Super Bowl, I told them,�

Schenk said. “We need to be celebrating in the sectional. But we have a long way to go to get there. We’ll get back to work.�

The Wildcats will travel to 2-0 Mount Carmel in their final game as the Golden Aces have left the Big Eight Conference and will compete in Illinois only next season. It will certainly get no easier for the Vikings as the ninth-ranked Gibson Southern Titans come to Poseyville on Friday night.

Hans Schmitz - Posey County Purdue Extension Educator Farming for Ethanol Ethanol, farm policy, and the struggle between corn and oil for fuel has been all over the news in the past month. The Indiana Land Use Summit keynote speaker last week was Jeff Lautt of POET Biorefining, who announced recently of the idling of their Cloverdale ethanol facility. President Trump tweeted about a giant package for ethanol coming soon, greater than the recent announcement of E15 availability. The Small Refinery Exemption from the Renewable Fuel Standard was semi-announced earlier in the month, with 31 refineries receiving exemptions. All of these announcements play into local economics.

We have two ethanol plants in our area, both at the port in Mount Vernon.

Green Plains and Valero Renewables accept corn directly out of the fields and grain bins from local farmers. In Indiana, there are 14 plants. In a 2014 study of ethanol plants on corn prices by Informa Economics, the statewide corn price received by farmers increased by 10 cents per bushel, with farmers close

to plants receiving 18 to 23 cents per bushel higher payouts. Those increased returns did not incorporate the nationwide increase from competition for corn in the market, which would also be substantial. Having ethanol in fuels is a great benefit to corn farmers in the price they receive for their grain, whether it goes to E85 at the pump, E10 in many other blends, or the E15 blending wall currently in effect.

Refineries, meanwhile, have to incorporate corn into their fuel blends in order to meet the Renewable Fuels Standard. Most currently have a 10 per cent requirement in gasoline fuel blends, hence the designation E10. The reality of E15, or 15 per cent blends, is an opportunity for more corn to enter the fuel system. However, there is a cost to the refineries for blending. A straight gasoline product is cheaper to make than a blend. Therefore, the Environmental Protection Agency has an opportunity to provide waivers to small refineries, those producing less than 75,000 barrels per day, averaged over a year. This protects those refineries from

potentially shutting down due to costs of blending. The 31 announced exemptions, without naming the companies that were exempted, is a relatively high number. This means quite a few companies no longer have to take ethanol, reducing total demand to the market.

The idling of the Cloverdale plant occurs when the profit of the plant no longer exceeds the fixed costs of running the plant. POET reports that to occur because of the reduction of sales due to the companies being exempted from the Renewable Fuels Standard.

The news on ethanol will be important to watch in coming months, because the give and take between gas and oil and the farm economy is on display. Federal policy is purported to be in favor of both, but exemptions have contradicted expansion of fuel ethanol to this point. Either way, local farmers still rely on these facilities for local market competition pricing grain to haul from the farm to market.

Five Documented Kudzu Sites in PC Special to the News We all have heard of Kudzu, but what is it?

Kudzu (Pueraria lobata) is an invasive vine that was introduced to the U.S. from Japan and distributed throughout the South for erosion control. Kudzu is a creeping, climbing perennial vine that is an invasive species that is terrorizing native plants all over southeastern United States and has made its way into Indiana. Unfortunately, it quickly becomes a problem because of its rapid growth.

Kudzu looks innocent enough, yet this semiwoody vine grows out of control quickly. It spreads through runners (stems that root at the tip when in contact with moist soil), rhizomes and by vines that root at the nodes to form new plants. Although the plant does seed, it does not reproduce as quickly in this matter. Once established, kudzu grows at a rate of one foot per day with mature vines up to 100 feet. Known as “mile-a-minute” and “the vine that ate the South,” kudzu can easily overtake trees, abandoned homes, cars and telephone poles.

Kudzu will out-grow and out-compete native plants and ruin entire forested areas. Efforts to control and manage this invasive plant are necessary in order to ensure that Indiana is not overrun by kudzu like in the South. According to Purdue University, continuous mowing and grazing, with cattle and/or goats, will weaken and eventually control the plant. There are also

a variety of herbicides that are used to manage kudzu though results will vary between sites and applications. Indiana’s Department of Natural Resources suggests that if herbicides are used to apply in the late summer when the plants are more susceptible to transferring the chemicals into storage organs making it more effective.

Farmers listen up, Kudzu can harbor soybean pests and diseases such as soybean rust and the bean plataspid (kudzu bug). So just because it’s not located in your field doesn’t mean it won’t affect your commodity crops. DNR is identifying and working with landowners that have kudzu on their property or are adjacent to infested areas. They are trying to reduce kudzu on properties to a level that can be managed.

To report a kudzu site, contact Ken Cote at the Bloomington DNR field office at 812-3227249 or email kcote@dnr.IN.gov.

Funds are available through the EQIP program for having a Forestry Management Plan Written, and for Implementing that plan, which could include treating Kudzu. Please contact Jessica Harig, District Conservationist of Posey Co at (812) 838-4191 x3 for more information.

Such interest rate or rates must be in multiples of 1/8th or 1/100th of 1%.

The Bonds will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder whose bid is submitted in accordance herewith. The winning bidder will be the one who offers the lowest net interest cost to the Library, to be determined by computing the total interest on all of the Bonds to their maturities based upon the schedule provided by the Library prior to the sale and deducting therefrom the premium bid, if any, and adding thereto the discount bid, if any.

No conditional bids will be considered. The right is reserved to reject any and all bids. If an acceptable bid is not received for the Bonds on the date of sale hereinbefore fixed, the sale may be continued from day to day thereafter without further advertisement, during which time no bid which provides a higher net interest cost to the Library than the best bid received at the time of the advertised sale will be considered.

A good faith deposit (“Deposit”) in the form of cash or certified or cashier’s check in the amount of $5,400 payable to the order of Poseyville Carnegie Public Library is required to be submitted by the successful Purchaser not later than 3:30 p.m. (Indianapolis time) on the next business day following the award. If such Deposit is not received by that time, the Library may reject the bid. No interest on the Deposit will accrue to the Purchaser. The Deposit will be applied to the purchase price of the Bonds. In the event the Purchaser fails to honor the accepted bid, the Deposit will be retained by the Library as liquidated damages.

The Purchaser shall make payment for such Bonds and accept delivery thereof within five days after being notified that the Bonds are ready for delivery, at such place in the City of Indianapolis, Indiana, as the Purchaser may designate, or at such other location mutually agreed to by the Library and the Purchaser.

During the sale, no bidder will see any other bidder’s bid, nor will they see the status of their bid relative to other bids (e.g., whether their bid is a leading bid).

If requested, CUSIP identification numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect thereto shall constitute cause for failure or refusal by the Purchaser therefore to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds in accordance with the terms of its proposal. NO CUSIP identification number shall be deemed to be a part of any Bond or a part of the contract evidenced thereby and no liability shall hereafter attach to the Library or any of its officers or agents because of or on account of such numbers.

The Library is required by law to fully fund the payment of debt service on the Bonds in an amount sufficient to pay the debt service, regardless of any reduction in property tax collections due to the application of such tax credits.

And, it’s free.
