Indiana mourns State Fair tragedy

Sheriff board meets

By Holly Heerdink A tragic turn of events left five dead and more than 40 injured at the Indiana State Fair concert on Saturday night. A sudden gust of wind toppled part of the Hoosier Lottery Grandstand stage where country duo Sugarland was scheduled to perform. The stage rigging, complete with canopy and overhead lights, crashed down on the audience in the pit around 8:49 p.m. Eastern/7:49 p.m. Central time. Just minutes before the stage collapsed, an official announced that, in case of inclement weather, people were to evacuate the area in a calm and orderly manner. He added

that they were hopeful for Sugarland to perform yet that evening. Following his announcement, swirls of dust bellowed their way through the grandstands, and people began filtering from their seats as officials guided them toward the exit. But for many, their evacuation attempts came too late. After the stage collapsed, screams filled the air and several people began rushing to the exits while others pushed forward to help those trapped beneath the rigging. People from the concert and other fairgoers filed into buildings like

the Pepsi Coliseum to take cover from the storm. Some people who had not attended the concert were unaware of the situation unfolding at the Hoosier Lottery Grandstand. Sara Bareilles, the opening act for Sugarland, had already performed, and no singers were on stage when the wind storm hit. None of the performers were injured. Sugarland tweeted this message following the event: “We are all right. We are praying for our fans, and the people of Indianapolis. We hope you’ll join us. They need your strength.” Confirmed dead were Tammy Vandam, 42 of Wanatah, Ind.;

Familiar face to return to North Posey By Valerie Werkmeister The start of the new school year is here and while most faces remain familiar, there are many new faces in the North Posey halls. Members of the MSD of North Posey School Board approved several new hires during their regular meeting on August 8. The board also had the opportunity to meet many of the new hires. One familiar face that has long been an “unofficial” fixture at North Posey will now be around on a full-time basis. Former Indiana State Master Trooper Frank Smith, was hired as a new school resource officer, a newly created position. North Posey Junior High (NPJH) Principal Steve Kavanaugh authored and received two grants that will pay Smith’s salary. No funds will be taken from the district’s general fund to pay Smith’s salary. His position will remain intact as long as grant funds are available. The Posey County Sheriff’s Department has agreed to equip Smith with a police car and uniforms. New hires at South Terrace Elementary include the following: Heather Bailey - instructional assistant; Shalane Enlow -instructional assistant; Christine Fulton - first grade teacher; Dustin George – fourth grade

teacher; Valerie Parker – cafeteria; Danielle Rolley – instructional assistant and Alison Rose – part-time preschool teacher. New teachers at North Elementary School include: Cassie Barrett – instructional assistant; Amanda Mayer – kindergarten teacher; Amber Oakley – pre-school teacher, Tiffany Piotrowski – instructional assistant and Leah Weber – fourth grade teacher. New teachers at NPJH include: Rebecca Corbin – art teacher and cross country coach; and Melissa Mahrenholz – special education. Krystle (Roudebush) Pharr and Nick Berry were also chosen as the new track coaches. Ryan Kerney was hired as an additional assistant football coach who will split the stipend with Jody Cumbee. Tim Everly will serve as a volunteer coach. NPHS teachers recently hired include: James Dunlap – biology; Amy Moore – art teacher; Paige Quade – math teacher, freshmen volleyball coach and high school assistant cheer coach; Carrie Schmitt – English teacher; Kevin Smith – art teacher and baseball coach. The board also approved a request by Principal Dr.

By Pam Robinson Lindsay Suits, Black Township Trustee, heard overwhelming support for the building of a proposed $535,000 training tower at the Black Township Fire Department. Suits had called the public forum of area firefighters and interested residents on Thursday, August 11, to solicit their comments regarding the tower. Speakers included Black Township Fire Chief Jay Price; Posey County Emergency Management Director and 30-year member of the New Harmony Fire Department Larry Robb; Chuck Polage of CF Industries, Donnie Sutton of Black Township Fire Department; Steve Anderson, Vice President of Indiana Volunteer Firefighters’ Association; Patrick Fisher, Captain of Wadesville Fire Department; and Rick Williamson, Chief of Marrs Township Fire Department. All speakers spoke in favor of building the tower. After the meeting, Price explained that the half-million dollar steel structure would be located behind the current Black Township Fire Department building. The Black Township Fire Department is requesting funding from the cumulative fire fund overseen by the advisory board of the Black Township Trustee’s office. Advisory board members are Ann Fisher, Bud Funkhouser and Brandyn Mohr. After reviewing specifications again with his personnel, Price plans to present a final proposal to Suits and the advisory board for their review this week. They will then decide by vote whether or not money is taken from the cumulative fire fund to pay for the project. The first to speak in the audience, Black Township Fire Chief Jay Price noted that his 46 volunteer firefighters responded to a total of 347 calls in 2010 and already in 2011 had responded to 252 calls, up 15 from the same period in 2010. Those firefighters completed over 2,000 man hours of training in 2010.

He then emphasized the changing requirements in providing training established by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and the Environmental Protection Agency. “We can’t just go set houses on fires to train them [firefighters] like we used to,” he said. “It’s tough because the state mandates us to provide training for these guys and gals to be better firefighters.” He emphasized that although Marrs Township Fire Department provided a mobile burn chamber for training, transporting it to Black Township was difficult, and a larger training structure would provide improved and more diversified training. Price stated that the proposed training tower would provide three burn chambers—residential, industrial and attic. It would feature an elevator shaft and an escape stairwell on the outside as well. Equally as important, it would include a sprinkler system and all required safety features. “A tower like this would be beneficial in multiple ways that I could stand here and list all day long—live burns, search and rescue, ventilation, hose leads, ladder truck operation, confined space, tanker shuttles,” Price commented. He added that local law enforcement is in favor of the training tower also. “You’re only as good as the last fire you fought,” he concluded. “We need training, and to get that training, we need facilities where we can do it.” Next to speak, Posey County Emergency Management Director Larry Robb emphasized the need to respond to industrial emergencies and the need for a facility that would be a central training location for firefighters across the county. “When, not if, but when Black Township responds to

Glenn Goodrich, 49 of Indianapolis; Alina Bigjohny, 23 of Fort Wayne, Ind.; Christina Santiago, 29 of Chicago, Ill.; and Nathan Byrd, 51 of Indianapolis. The first four died at the scene, and Byrd was transported to Methodist where he later died from his injuries. A timeline released by the Indiana State Police showed that staff of the Indiana State Fair contacted the National Weather Service four times between 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Additional members of the Indiana State Police arrived around 8:30 p.m. to help onsite personnel and ESG Security evacuate the area.

Consultant hired as NHS is proactive; administrator warns of issues

By Dave Pearce Thursday evening’s meeting of the New Harmony School Board marked the final meeting before students fill the classrooms at New Harmony School this week. Following routine business, members of the board met two new faculty members for the school year. Ashley Tempel and Lydia Volters were welcomed by members of the board. Tempel attended high school at nearby Heritage Hills while Volters is a little further away from home, having moved from Dayton, Ohio, just this week. The new teachers both indicated they appreciated the warm welcome they had received from the staff and the community. However, later in the meeting, Principal Doug Mills told board members there could be some less-than-desirable news about the school on the horizon. Mills indicated that according to the information he has so far, he is “very concerned” about data that will be coming out of Indianapolis as a result of test scores from last year. Administrators of PTL 221, a yearly assessment implemented by the State of Indiana, have indicated that scores will be reported soon and Mills told the board he is “very concerned.” While the state wrestles with a formula that will fairly and accurately assess student and teacher performance, it has led to changes each year as to how the schools are being evaluated. This year, the four grades of New Harmony High School will be added to the equation and Mills said that probably will not bode well for New Harmony. While scores at the elementary level do not appear to be a concern, when the scores of New Harmony’s high school are factored in, it raises concern for the administration. “I am warning you right now about scores preparing to come out,” Mills said sternly to the board. “With the addition of the high school scores in the formula, it may not be pretty.” In an apparent proactive move earlier in the meeting, board members approved a request by School Supt. Fran Thoele to hire educational consultant Phyllis Amick to come in and “see how the school is doing things” and offer suggestions as to how the school could improve, particularly in the areas of language arts and mathematics. Mathematics is expected to be the sore spot when PTL 221 results come out. The consultant is scheduled to meet with the board in a public meeting scheduled for Aug. 25, 2011 at the New harmony School Library to give an update. In other business: •The board approved a motion to accept the resignation of teachers Erica Thomas and Scott McElwee and mowing contractor Dan Thurman. The board approved Margaret Scherzinger as volunteer volleyball coach, and to increase the hours of teacher’s aide Debbie Lyke.

OPINION

The first day of school provides myriad of memories for all Last week, my face brightened to see several photos posted to Facebook of kindergarten and elementary chil- FOR THE dren on Thurs- RECORD day, their first day of school. BY PAM The kids stood up ROBINSON straight, proud of their new school clothes and backpacks, and flashed their brightest smiles directly at the camera. Parents may complain that kids suffer these days because of a shortened summer vacation, but these kids didn’t seem any worse for it. They appeared, for the entire world, eager to enter the classroom.

The first day of school always excited me, too. On my very first, first day of school, I can remember hearing the words, “Pose for Mommy,” my cue to tilt my head and give a crooked little grin as I clutched my new book satchel, the first of many, in front of me. I hurried then toward the end of our country lane, not wanting to miss my bus. A few weeks earlier, my dad had driven Mama and me to Hart Memorial School, housing grades 1 through 12, so I could be properly enrolled in

first grade. (Mama never had a driver’s license.) Like my classmates, I never thought about going to preschool or kindergarten. Mama turned the television to a Bowling Green, Ky., television station every weekday morning so I could watch Romper Room, our local version of Sesame Street. She beamed as I dutifully showed off my best five-yearold self and recited the Pledge of Allegiance and counted to 100 for my first grade teacher, Mrs. Rush. Considerable distance existed between neighbors in the country, so I especially looked forward to making friends in the first grade, much as I later enjoyed seeing all my friends

again on the first day of school. Back to school meant not only readin’, writin’, and ‘rithmetic, but also relationship. Back packs have replaced book satchels, and cell phones have too often prevented faceto-face conversation. Yet, In spite of instant messaging and texting (until the wee hours during the summer), kids today, like kids of yesteryear, still get excited about seeing their friends on the first day of school. If my daughter’s experience proves anything, even techno-savvy teenagers think the first day of school is cool. On the eve of her first day of high school, my daughter only wished for sleep from 2 to 4 a.m. and still

somehow looked bright-eyed when she got up at 6 a.m. She says her excitement and anticipation about her first day back to school have interrupted her sleep for the past few years now. Adrenalin keeps her alert all day in spite of her insomnia. The first day of school offers the sweet promise of another new beginning. Soon, parents will hear the predictable moaning about too much homework and ridiculously difficult assignments, but for now, if just for the day, students are true to their school. As it’s been said, the more things change, the more things stay the same.

Letters to the Editor Medicare: 45 Years of Protecting America’s Seniors By David Crooks July marked the 45th Anniversary of the creation of Medicare. For nearly half a century, the Medicare program has provided virtually all American seniors over the age of 65 with affordable, reliable, and comprehensive health care coverage. Medicare also provides seniors with essential financial security, helping ease the burden of skyrocketing health care costs. Since the creation of Medicare, the percentage of seniors living below the poverty line has decreased dramatically, from nearly one-third of all seniors, down to the single digits. Given Medicare’s success in providing essential health care coverage and financial security to America’s seniors, I am shocked

by the actions of our elected officials in Washington D.C. Instead of fighting to preserve Medicare and protect our nation’s seniors from financial ruin, many members of Congress voted to end Medicare as we know it. Given these tough economic times, with seniors and working families sacrificing so much over the past several years, seniors simply can’t afford to lose their Medicare coverage. Many residents of the 8th Congressional District are disappointed that Congressman Larry Bucshon supported legislation that would end Medicare as we know it. I’m more than disappointed. I’m furious. I’m furious because Congressman Bucshon has voted not once, but TWICE, to dismantle Medicare as we know it and place

the lives of American seniors in jeopardy. I’m even more furious that while Congressman Bucshon and his colleagues in Washington were voting to slash Medicare, they were also supporting tax cuts for millionaires, billionaires, and corporations making record profits. And to add even more insult to injury, Congressman Bucshon’s vote to protect taxes for the wealthy will add over $5 trillion to the national debt over the next 10 years. That’s right, under their plan seniors would pay $6,400 more per year for the same health care, while millionaires would pay hundreds of thousands less in taxes, with working families forced to pick up the tab. This is absolutely shameful, and it’s difficult to

Guest Editorial “New school year brings new enrichment programs” This school year, the students of Posey County have exciting new programs to participate in. From a new Fine Arts Academy to the implementation of full day kindergarten to a place where kids learn by doing to students continued involvement in Future Farmers of America, the 2011-2012 school year offers different opportunities for learning. Posey County is comprised of three school districts with each offering students a variety of enrichment programs. The Metropolitan School District of Mount Vernon will debut a new Fine Arts Academy this fall at Mt. Vernon High School. The academy will create opportunities for students interested in the musical, theatrical and visual arts field. The high school’s arts program has been a community treasure for many years, but with the creation of the new academy, the arts program will move to center stage. Participation in the arts enriches a student’s education and equips them with a unique

skill set that can lead to exciting career opportunities. Within the academy, the areas of study will include instrumental and vocal music, technical theater, theater performance and visual art. The creation of this academy will not only provide academic enrichment, but increase student enrollment by being open to any student in the state. The Metropolitan School Districts of North Posey and Mount Vernon will both be launching a full day kindergarten program to families starting this fall. This early learning initiative will give our youngest students a great start to their academic careers. A preschool program will also be an option this year for children in the MSD of Mount Vernon in addition to the full day kindergarten program. School leaders in both school districts were incredibly innovative in finding ways to bring full day kindergarten to their schools. One great organization that a large num-

imagine how Congressman Bucshon could have acted any more recklessly. We can’t afford the policies of Congressman Bucshon—policies that enrich multi-millionaires on the backs of American seniors. That’s why I’m running for Congress—to give seniors and working families a REAL voice in Washington. Today, we have a Congressman who has clearly demonstrated his refusal to fight for seniors and working families. I’m running for Congress to lead that fight. Dave Crooks is a small business owner, radio broadcaster, and former State Representative. He lives in Washington, IN with his wife, Shelley. They have three children, Mackenzie, Jared, and Jacob.

ber of students across Posey County participate in is Future Farmers of America (FFA). FFA, while not new, continues to be a community staple each year. This organization is an asset to our community, allowing students to learn about agricultural. It is through this program that many students discover their passion for farming and turn that passion into a career with many staying and farming in our community. New Harmony Schools provide their students with many enrichment activities by getting students out into the community to learn by doing and seeing. Schools in New Harmony thrive because of the close knit, involved community and the low student to teacher ratio. At New Harmony schools, teachers and students build great relationships, where teachers are

able to push students to new heights. New Harmony has always been progressive in finding way to deliver a high quality education to students. The emphasis that the community places on education shows with New Harmony High School being ranked as a 2010 Best High School by US News and World’s Report. The high school was awarded the Bronze Medal for educational excellence, which placed it among the top 10.7% of Indiana schools. All of the school districts within Posey County offer students a quality education and the chance to participate in a number of academic enrichment programs. With the culmination of all three school districts and their enrichment programs, Posey students are afforded many educational opportunities to choose from.

Transparency: Commonground for the responsible goernment our generation demands

Gavel Gamut’s “Why Settle?” My favorite scene from Conan the Barbarian is when Arnold/Conan mumbles about the joys of crushing his enemies and, “hearing the lamentations of their women”. Dreams of such sweet, complete victory over our adversaries is why we pay to see movies. Intellectually we know such outcomes are not likely to happen, and, if they would, they probably would not be fair or good. But emotionally we secretly hope that jerk who cut us off in traffic has the “flies of a thousand camels” attack him. These thoughts from our id, the limbic or reptilian part of our brains, arise in spite of the “better angels of our nature”. We just cannot totally suppress our desire for subjugation, revenge or, as we see it, total justice. Of course, what we find, those few times we achieve capitulation from an exspouse or a neighbor whose dog digs up our yard or the customer who does not pay us, our great victory leaves a bad taste in our mouths. We usually feel worse than we did when we were angry. As courts have been used for thousands of years to resolve conflicts many judges are familiar with the all too human reflex of counter attacking and the

predictable unsatisfactory outcomes. That is why the judges of Posey County, Indiana have, with the writ-

GAVEL GAMUT BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE ten approval of the Indiana Supreme Court, established procedures to help litigants resolve their disagreements without the need for trial by ordeal. Two of the most frequent areas where people need such help is domestic relation matters and civil suits. If you are an adult citizen, you have about a fifty percent chance to be involved in a domestic relations case such as a divorce. You, also, have an excellent chance to be embroiled in a law suit at some point. It is not bad or greedy or unreasonable people who need the courts; we all need a mechanism to resolve conflicts. There should be a procedure in place that is efficient, cost effective and fair. And society in general needs people to compromise their differences so we can all move on and progress. Should you need such

help, you and/or your family lawyer can initiate a legal action by filing a petition with the Clerk's Office for less than two hundred dollars or for free if you are indigent. Then you and the other party, your spouse for example, are ordered to have a Pre-pre-trial to try to resolve your disagreements. The Pre-pre-trial costs nothing but your time, and, perhaps, a reasonable attorney fee. Most cases in Posey County are resolved at this Pre-pre-trial. But, if not, mandatory mediation before a trained and certified Mediator is used with each party paying half the cost. This procedure is used to settle most of the cases remaining after the Pre-pre-trial. The advantages of this procedure are many. It is inexpensive, fast, non-combative and self-regulated. The Parties, who after all know their needs better than any jury or judge, can work together to fashion their own solutions rather than having one imposed upon them by a stranger. And, most importantly, the Parties, their children if a domestic relations case, and our small community where frequent contact is unavoidable, can get on with our businesses, families and future.

SPORTS EDITOR STEVE JOOS sports801@sbcglobal.net

Those of us born during and after the Reagan era have had quite a burden put upon us. Fiscal and social challenges abound as we strive for a balance that gives us the clean and safe environment we demand while not putting workers out of a job or taxing families that already strive to make ends meet. We must not only attain these goals, but outperform previous generations who are leaving the workforce and entering retirement – previous generations that expect and deserve our support – but not at the cost of our future. It is confronted with this reality that we must take a serious look at each penny being spent both in Washington and here at home. Our national spending trend has become more than unacceptable and unsustainable. The current administration in Washington managed to add $2.2 trillion to the books in its first 500 days in office and is adding $4.4 billion per day according to Office of Management and Budget figures. The newest figures show our federal government spending $112,000 per second! So, for example, in the just over two minutes it will take the typical reader to finish this column, our federal government will have spent more than $15 million! According to federal numbers and CIA estimates, the federal debt is rapidly approaching the out of control levels seen in Greece – whose financial crisis threatens to bring down the economies of its European Union partners. While we here in Southwest Indiana cannot run things in Washington or in Greece, we can focus on what we can do at home. The communities of Southwest Indiana must take steps in the right direction; no new taxes and careful spending are the paths to good government. Holding our government accountable for its spending starts with knowing how our tax ASSISTANT EDITOR, MV OFFICE PAM ROBINSON PamelaWrite@sbcglobal.net

dollars are being spent. Governor Daniels and certain leadership in the state legislature have made it possible to create a searchable database of all state expenditures available through the State Auditor’s website. Let us demand that our city and county governments do the same and publish all of their expenses online at the fingertips of taxpayers, and within 48 hours of those transactions taking place. Let us make our local government and spending as transparent as our state’s. It is time for Southwest Indiana to deliver to taxpayers the transparency they deserve. Doing so is fiscally responsible in holding our leaders accountable. Plus, the software itself is available for free to every municipal government. The website should include every city and county agency, especially our public schools. This will curb waste and promote efficiency. Let this be the first step to empower regular citizens to hold our government officials accountable year round – not just on Election Day. The best way we can ensure previous generations get what they deserve, at a cost that does not jeopardize future generations, is to keep tabs on every dollar spent from this point forward.

Alberta Louise Ludwig Hooe

THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS

Alberta Louise Ludwig Hooe, born July 10, 1911, died on Friday evening, August 5, 2011, after 48 hours of extreme pain caused by a fall. She was able to fly home in the arms of her Savior with no more pain. She was born in Grandview and raised in Tell City, Ind.; graduated from nurse’s training at Deaconess Hospital in Evansville, Ind., in 1932; and was married to Vernon R. Hooe in May of 1932. They enjoyed 61 years of marriage, ending at this death in 1993. Alberta took up her profession of nursing when their only child went to high school. She worked in the only area she didn’t want to work in, orthopedics, and after that worked in nursing homes in the area. She was director of nurses there for a long period of time. Many people remember her from those years and the kindness she showed to those in need. She was very active in the Jacobsville Neighborhood Association for a long time and spent many pleasant hours in the company of friends and neighbors. She loved her church and her church family at St. Lucas United Church of Christ and it gave her much pleasure. She fell and suffered a broken hip in 2007, and after that lived at the Charles Ford Home in New Harmony, Ind. Prior to that fall, she had lived alone and gardened as well as taking care of herself. Thanks to the folks at the Charles Ford Home and Southern Care Hospice for all the kindnesses shown to Alberta. Alberta celebrated her 100th birthday with church services, a reception, and family dinner on July 10, 2011. She enjoyed it very much. During her ordeal before her death the only thing that made her smile was seeing her 3-year-old great-greatgranddaughter, Karmyn. She was a source of joy for Alberta. She was preceded in death by her husband, Vernon, her parents, Georgia Hoffman Ludwig and Albert Ludwig, and her two brothers, Charles and Louis Ludwig. She is survived by her daughter, Sharon Rae Hooe Broadhead; her beloved son-in-law Walter; two grandchildren, John Broadhead and Sherrie Plouchard; six great-grandchildren, Jessica, Anne, and Ben Broadhead and Kate, Erin, and Alex Maile; her great-great-granddaughter, Karmyn Rae Maile, and many dear friends from her neighborhood, church family, and staff and residents at the Charles Ford Home. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Lucas Church Improvements Fund, 33 W. Virginia St., Evansville, IN 47710-1798. Visitation was held from 4 to 8 p.m. on Sunday, August 17, 2011, at Ziemer Funeral Home Central Chapel, 626 First Ave., Evansville, 47710. Services were on Monday at 10 a.m. at St. Lucas United Church of Christ, 33 W. Virginia St., Evansville, IN 47710-1798. Entombment will be in Locust Hill Mausoleum.

Ohio River heritage part of River Days Poetry contest A part of the reason for Mount Vernon’s River Days Festival is to remember the rich historic heritage enjoyed by the Ohio River town, which will celebrate its 200th birthday in 2016. Again this year at Sherburne Park on the Riverfront will be a wide variety of Historical Demonstrations that will interest young and old, alike. Visitors will have the opportunity to see a basket weaver, a broom maker, a rope maker, someone making old-fashioned soap, candles and butter. There will be quilters, knitters, and corn stalk dolls being made on site. There will be displays and demonstrations of frontier knife-making, along with powder

horns. A display of gourds will be of interest as the history and uses of these utilitarian garden items are explained. Long-riflemen and at least two Civil War demonstrators will be on hand for the three-day festival. Next to General Hovey’s Field Headquarters, a field hospital tent, the kind used for wounded Civil War soldiers, will be set up. Marsha King is chairman of the Historical Demonstrations event. Further information is available from Mrs. King at 589-5651. These Historical Demonstrations are just some of the interesting attractions that will be available to visitors at Mount Vernon’s River Days Festival, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, September 9, 10 and 11.

Posey Humane Society needs your help Once everyone has a chance to settle back into the school routine, have you thought about volunteering at Posey Humane Society? There are always dogs to be walked or brushed, cats to be socialized, and lots of other jobs that need to be done on a daily basis. If you have an hour or two a week that you could spare now and again, please think about spending it at PHS. It does not have to be a long term commitment. To find out more or just check out the shelter, please feel free to stop by. Public viewing hours are Wednesday through Friday 8 am to 6 pm and Saturdays 8 am to 1 pm. Volunteers are welcome any day of the week. For more information call

PHS at 812-838-3211 or email volunteer@poseyhumane.org. Please check out the web site at www. poseyhumane.org for a list of upcoming events and activities.

Cheese Biscuits

• • • • • • • • • •

INGREDIENTS 2 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour dash cayenne 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 2 teaspoons baking powder 7 tablespoons butter, cold 2 scallions, finely chopped 3 oz. grated Parmesan cheese 3/4 cup buttermilk Kosher, Maldon, or Black salt for topping (optional; not table/iodized salt

DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat the oven to 425F. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, cayenne, black pepper, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. 2. Dice the butter into small pieces. If they get too warm then place them in a bowl and put it in the freezer for about 10 minutes before continuing. Toss the diced butter with the flour mixture until well coated. (Again, if into tossing the butter gets hot in your hands place the whole mixture in the freezer for a few minutes.) Add the scallions and cheese and toss until well coated. 3. Add the buttermilk and mix with your hands until it just comes together. You may find you need an extra dribble of buttermilk, if so then go right ahead but do so judiciously. Do not over-knead. 4. Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead once or twice; no more. Form into an 8x8-inch square and cut into 2x2-inch squares and top with a bit of high-quality salt if using. Bake for 12-16 minutes or until golden. Yield: 16 biscuits

addition, PHS can always use your unwanted clean towels and blankets. Supplies and monetary donations can be dropped off at the shelter at 6500 Leonard Rd or at the office of Dr Sarah Appel in Mount Vernon, Ind. And as always, thank you for your help and support

The exhibit which features images taken before 1940, will be Friday, September 9, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Saturday, September 10, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. & Sunday, September 11, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The exhibit area will be in the Alexandrian Public Library meeting rooms. As the saying goes, ‘A picture is worth a thousand words’, but sometimes a photograph remains the soul silent testament to a moment otherwise lost to history. We point our cameras, shoot, and move on so quickly we hardly give thought to how we just may have frozen that moment for posterity. Genealogists love discovering photographic images of long distant relatives hidden among a hodgepodge of photographs at a yard sale or even in an antique store.

Historians jump with anticipation at a prospect of sighting photographs containing a historical building or landmark as it was in a century past. Historically, older images were printed from brittle film or glass plate negatives, and those one-of-akind snapshots are fading. Even more disheartening are those mystery images, as yet undeveloped, residing inside old cameras that turn up at yard sales. In either instance they are all potentially lost to history. In an effort to preserve the richness of our past heritage, the Alexandrian Public Library has determined to gather, document and preserve as many images as possible of historical Mount Vernon as it was prior to 1940. In addition to photographs, there are postcards and rare stereopticon cards of vintage Mount Vernon architecture and businesses out there that are not included in the library collection. Some are colorized while

others are simple black and white images. If you have any, please bring them to the library so they can be scanned and printed for inclusion in the exhibit. Those attending the exhibit will be provided an opportunity to record their own memories of the images. Those comments, observations and memories

will then be digitized along with the relevant images for future generations. Photographs for submission may be e-mailed to scampbell@apl.lib.in.us or dropped off at the library, along with a name and contact number. For more information, contact Stan Campbell at the library at 838-3286.

The Lord’s work continues to get in the way of church building repairs By Pam Robinson Rev. Michael Erwin will soon celebrate his first anniversary as the pastor of St. Peter’s United Church of Christ, or UCC, in Wadesville’s Parker Settlement. Since September 2010, he has preached and done visitation on Sunday for a congregation of 45 to 50 regulars willing to support his role as the full-time Development Officer for Evansville’s Habitat for Humanity. In reflecting on his pastorate, Erwin cites two Scripture passages to describe the character of St. Peter’s UCC members, whose strong Protestant work ethic derives from their German Evangelical ancestors. He quotes Galatians 3:28 to highlight the diversity of his congregation: “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (NIV) That diversity includes the breaking down of barriers between Vanderburgh and Posey counties. Since St. Peter’s UCC sets close to the

Vanderburgh County line, some members live there now in the county where they work while some members, mostly farmers, still live in Posey County. In addition, Erwin notes that his church has kept an open mind for years now on religious issues. “We continue to have discussion, and I preach sermons about faith and strengthening an individual’s faith. But we definitely do not tell people that you’ve got to believe this or that. We stay out of that business,” he says. “People here have views and lifestyles that are pretty diverse.” Another Scripture passage, John 21:15-17, stands out for Erwin when he thinks of the people at St. Peter’s UCC. The passage sets forth the reinstatement of their church’s namesake with Jesus. To summarize, the resurrected Jesus tells Peter, who had betrayed Jesus at the Crucifixion, the appropriate way to demonstrate love: “Feed my sheep.” Erwin says his church members fulfill Jesus’ com-

mand literally through their support of God’s Storehouse, the northern Posey County community food pantry located at St. Peter’s UCC. God’s Storehouse started 25 years ago in the basement of St. Peter’s UCC until it required its own facility to meet the emergency food needs of hundreds of Posey County families. Early last fall, the building was dedicated, and it stands as a result of the work of many hands, donating time, labor, food and money. “The food pantry began as a ministry of St. Peter’s, but it’s really now a communitywide ministry,” Erwin comments. God’s Storehouse is overseen by an independent board composed of members from churches and organizations across northern Posey County. Their vision to help stop hunger unites them. “If you live in Posey County, there are no questions asked. You are going to get food here,” Erwin states. “They care—a lot, so they just give.” The generosity and com-

passion of St. Peter’s UCC prompts Erwin’s greatest praise. He points out that the congregation has put the needs of the community before the needs of the church—in particular, repairing the leaky roof. “That kind of thing really takes a backseat to the community,” he insists. “We know the roof leaks, but we need a new building for the food pantry. We know the roof leaks, but we’ve got to build a house for this family. We know the roof leaks, but we’ve got to get involved in this ministry to the people of this area or the people beyond this area. “It’s not that they don’t care for their church or for themselves. It’s that their first thought is always somebody else—what’s going on out there where I can become a disciple and do what Jesus was doing. He didn’t have a place to lay his head at night, but he was still out there healing the sick and driving out demons. We take that to mean hunger is a demon, or not having any shelter, that’s a demon. Or

family problems or not having a job—these kinds of things are the demons we’re trying to drive out of here.” Erwin concludes, “I’m proud to be here.” Ordained as a Presbyterian minister in 1995 after attending Louisville Presbyterian Seminary, he jumped over to the United Church of Christ not long afterward and started a church in Owensboro, Ky. He acted as the pastor of that church for

several years before moving to Evansville and eventually serving St. Peter’s UCC. He and his wife Kathy are celebrating 19 years of marriage. She is the adoption coordinator for Families Thru International Adoption in Evansville. The couple is blessed with two daughters attending schools in Evansville: Natalie, a student at Thompkins Middle School, and Kennedy, a freshman at Signature School.

Sermon of Week: As long as there is a dream, there is hope By The Rev. Monica Gould, First Presbyterian Church Mount Vernon Sermon Genesis 28: 10-19, 20-22 July 17, 2011 Good Dreams We all have dreams; we have good dreams and bad dreams. We have dreams that we wish we could remember and dreams that we do not want to have return. We have dreams that are vivid and colorful that we can carefully repeat to others in deep detail. Even though there are those who report they never dream, we are told that we all dream. The dream of Jacob is an important event in the Biblical account of the saga of the family of God and it is an important reminder for us the continuing family of God. Jacob in the kindest words is a scoundrel. His birth account lets us know that he was a taker and a user from the beginning. In the previous chapters he tricked his

brother out of his birthright over a bowl of soup. He then, with the help of his mother stole the blessing of this birthright from his dying father through deception, aided by his mother. He has lived a life of what we today would consider unjust and evil behavior. We have wondered how a God who only wants good for his people could allow such cruel actions to happen within a family that was supposed to be set apart and better than the rest. Perhaps, this is the point of the story, there is no perfect family and God chooses to use his creation despite who they are or who they choose to try to be. After Jacob receives all the blessings from his father and the words of promise for the future from him, his brother Esau realizes the cost of his earlier actions when he gave up his birthright. He is so angry, angry to the point of threatening bodily harm to

Jacob. Esau has lost everything and will not rest until he gets retribution. He wants to kill his brother. Rebekah recognizes the cost of her actions as well. Rather than having remorse she intervenes to rescue her favorite child again and sends him away back to the land of Abraham. We enter into this part of the story with Jacob on his way to Haran. He is in the middle of nowhere. He is vulnerable without the protection of his mother or her family or anyone else. He is finally alone and because it is dark has to stop for the night. Place This is an ordinary place that has no religious significance. It is just ‘on the way to somewhere’. Yet, in this unassuming and ordinary place, God appears. Jacob puts his head on a stone (also an ordinary object) and proceeds to get some rest. Yet, God

comes to him in this moment in a dream. All that we know about Jacob to this point would have us hope that God is coming to him to convict him and to judge him and set the record straight for the sake of the family. But, to our surprise, God opens up the gates of heaven for him and stands beside him and pours out the promises given to Abraham and Isaac and pours them out upon him. God doesn’t send the angels as messengers to deliver this promise but shows up in person. The very person of God has descended from heaven and crossed the threshold to earth to claim Jacob as one who is called to carry out the purpose of God. Along the journey from a place of wrongful living to a place of escape, God descends in a new place, Bethel, and alters the purpose of the fugitive. “Bethel is literally and figuratively an intersection of divine and human paths. Jacob is standing at a strange door which opens in three directions: behind is his past of failure and alienation; ahead is his future of both hope and uncertainty; and over and above, coming down to meet him, is the presence of God.” The knowledge that God is present and promises his presence in the lives of peo-

ple who are wrong and have done unjust things is a tough thing to swallow especially if we are the ones who have been on the receiving end of such hurtful acts. But, God will not allow the plan of redemption, love and ultimately reconciliation to be thwarted. God does not and will not give up on humans even humans like Jacob and Paul. Jacob’s face to face encounter with God is the altering moment for his life. Action He makes a vow more than a bargain with God. “Jacob’s vow is the beginning of his conversion.” (W. Brueggemann) He repeats what God has promised and in that he recognizes the need for his response. Jacob discovers that God has come near to him along ‘the way to somewhere’. Most often our encounters with God come at a time and in a place most unexpected and unassuming. We are often surprised and ‘lifted off our feet’ as Jacob was in his dream to the stairway of heaven where we discover the surrounding, all-consuming presence of the Divine. It is a moment that cannot be left unattended. Jacob makes his vow as a public confession. The anointed stone will be seen by others as they pass this place. ‘Along the way to

somewhere’ has now become a holy opportunity for others to participate in. Promise We the readers all hope that this will be the blessed moment when Jacob turns his life completely around. We hope that he will become the saint who has seen God and, as we read in fairytales, everyone lives happily ever after. But it will be a long time before we see the fullness of change in Jacob. Just like Jonah whose conversion altered his path and response to God, Jacob now begins the journey to Haran not as escape but with purpose. Just like Jonah, however, Jacob still doesn’t quite get it when it comes to the grace of God even though he has fully received it. “The scoundrel will never become a saint, but he will become a character who has struggled with God.” (W. Brueggemann) I think we all can learn from this. We as humans continue to wrestle with the things of God, with living in the fullness of grace and seeking to follow in the purposes and promises of God. We all dream whether we are aware of it or not. We all dream and God assures us that we will not be alone. God’s presence will be with us always. Jesus gave us the same promise. In holy places, in ordinary places, at home or on the way to somewhere, in our waking or in our sleeping, God will be with us. Amen.

UE President Thomas Kazee to speak at United Way Dinner Dr. Thomas A. Kazee, President of the University of Evansville, will be the featured speaker at the United Way of Posey County Leadership Giving Recognition Dinner on August 30 at 6:30 p.m. at the Mount Vernon High School Cafeteria. Thomas A. Kazee is the University of Evansville’s 23rd President. Before coming to UE, he served as Provost and Executive Vice President at Furman UniverDr. Kazee sity. Prior to his arrival at Furman in 2003, Kazee served for 18 years on the faculty at Davidson College, including a decade as Chair of the Department of Political Science, and four years as Dean of the College at the University of the South (Sewanee). He received a B.A. in political science from Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, Ohio, in 1974, and a Ph.D. in political science from Ohio State University in 1978. As the author of numerous journal articles and editor of Who Runs for Congress: Ambition, Context and Candidate Emergence, his

work has been influential in shaping an understanding of American congressional election outcomes. A passionate advocate for the liberal arts, Kazee won Davidson’s prestigious Hunter-Hamilton Love of Teaching Award, chaired one of Davidson’s most highly regarded academic departments, and served as NCAA Faculty Athletics Representative. At Sewanee, Kazee led the college’s 130-member faculty and directed the academic curriculum. During his time there, he coordinated a successful effort to substantially revise policies defining faculty roles, was instrumental in developing strategic plans for enrollment and renovation of academic buildings, and helped design and raise funds for a library-based academic technology center. As Provost and Executive Vice President at Furman, he was chief academic officer and supervised the work of Vice Presidents and Directors in various offices, including Enrollment, Student Life, Computing and Information Services, Sustainability, Grants Administration, and Institutional Research. He served as Acting President during the 2006-07 academic year, and was directly involved in fundraising for Furman’s $400 million capital campaign, “Furman Matters”. His efforts led to substantial donations to support Furman’s nationally-recognized Asian Studies program,

faculty development activities, and new science technology, as well as two major new scholarship programs, including a $14 million gift from the Duke Endowment to create the Townes Scholars program. Under his leadership, Furman invigorated its intellectual community by fundamentally reshaping its curriculum and academic calendar. Implemented in the 2008-09 academic year, elements of the curriculum include innovative new first-year seminars, a unique May Experience program, and substantially revised general education requirements. Kazee also led the planning, assisted with fundraising, and oversaw construction of Furman’s distinctive new Charles H. Townes Center for Science, dedicated in October 2008. He co-chaired the Sustainability Planning Council that recently produced Sustainable Furman, a far-reaching plan for energy efficiency, increased use of renewable energy sources, and integration of sustainability into Furman’s curriculum. He led successful efforts to build a more diverse faculty and worked with faculty leadership to develop policies that more appropriately recognize and support contingent faculty. He is married to Sharon Kazee, the former Vice President for Arts and Academics and Dean at the South Carolina Governor’s School

for the Arts and Humanities. She has completed her doctoral work at the University of South Carolina. They have two children; a daughter, Nicole, who is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Illinois-Chicago, and a son, Geoff, who is a turf management specialist in Rockville, Maryland.

ADM donates funds for 4-H and Community Center Countrymark donates, St. Philips

Exciting changes are coming to the Posey County Fairgrounds near New Harmony and ADM Milling Company in Mount Vernon is lending, not only their personal support, but monetary support as well. In the past two weeks, ADM has donated $1,000 to the Posey County 4-H Fair; $1,000 for upkeep of the Posey County Community Center building; and $1,000 towards the construction of a new 4-H livestock pavilion that is being planned for the fairgrounds. In addition to these grants, they also participated in the Posey County 4-H Livestock Auction during the fair in July, purchasing animals of Posey County 4-H exhibitors. Kim Banks, Manager at ADM Milling Company has served on the Posey County Community Center Board for the past two years, in addition to helping the 4-H and Posey County Fair Association receive over $4,000 in grants for various projects. Kim says: “Employees at ADM strive to make a positive difference in the communities where we live and work. We hope that by

When Shawnte Bates applied for a home built in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Evansville, she and her young son had been living with her grandmother in Evansville. The 30-year-old knew, however, that she needed to find a more stable living situation for her family’s future. She was accepted into the program, and now after months of working on the homes of others in order to fulfill her sweat equity requirement, Bates will soon begin working on her own in Mount Vernon. “I know I’m really blessed,” she said. “And I’m really glad that I will be able to raise my son in the small town that I was raised in, where family is still at the core of the community.” Seven churches in the St. Philips area are joining together to support Bates’ house and a second house, thanks to a matching contribution by Countrymark. Earlier this year, Indiana-based Countrymark announced plans to contribute up to $55,000 in matching funds to Habitat for Humanity of Evansville to provide the resources necessary to build two homes in Posey County. The St. Philips Area churches are sponsoring a Dinner, Ice Cream Social & Variety Show at 5 p.m. on Aug. 21 at St. Peters United Methodist Church, 2800 St. Phillip Road

South. The dinner of pork-chops, potato salad and baked beans begins at 5 p.m., and the variety show begins at 6 p.m. The Dairymen’s Association is donating 20 gallons of ice cream. And local talent from the seven churches will provide entertainment beginning at 6 p.m. A free-will offering will be collected, with every dollar raised going to support the Mount Vernon Habitat builds. For more information, call St. Peters United Church of Christ at (812) 985-3416. Donations may also be sent to any of the participating churches, or to Habitat for Humanity of Evansville, 1401 N. Fares Ave., Evansville, Ind. 47711, with “Mount Vernon” clearly marked on the donation. Bates has been diligently putting in the 300 “sweat equity” hours she must contribute as part of the Habitat homeownership program. So far, she has been helping other partner families build their own homes. In September, she begins construction on her own home. In addition, she has completed all of the required homeownership classes, where she has learned about home maintenance, budgeting and many other topics to prepare her for homeownership. She’s done all this while still working full time at Deaconess Hospital.

Black Township Fire Tower, from Page 1A to a large fire, if you look at what’s the potential here, you can look out the window and see the refinery, we can see GAF, we can see Sabic. . .when those fires occur, you are not alone. At the WSI fire, the big warehouse fire east of Mount Vernon, there were at some point, a total of 63 fire departments, I believe, that passed through that scene to fight that fire—sixty-three fire departments. We have nine in Posey County. We need to work together, train together.” When Chuck Polage of CF Industries spoke, he commented that over the past 30 years his company had provided its facility for training in addition to financing trips for firefighter training in Louisiana—training that was beneficial when firefighters responded to an emergency at his facility. “I’m hoping that the council will see that

they get what they need in order to do the job that they have to do,” Polage stated. In opening the meeting, Suits insisted that it was “not about decisions, but about education.” She then read a letter from Black Township Trustee Advisory Board member Ann Fisher, who could not attend the meeting. In it, Fisher thanked Price and the Black Township Fire Department for their work and indicated she was in favor of the training tower. At the same time, she mentioned budgetary concerns—in particular, the declining income in the cumulative fire fund. At the end of the meeting, Suits said, “Personally, I definitely feel that education is the greatest tool that we all can have to go out there and fight fires. I think all the physical equipment comes second. . . .I believe the tower is a piece that will fully educate you.”

g 1A North Poseyy School, from Page Scott Strieter to move Natalie Barnard from the special education to the science department. Jonathan Spencer will then move from NPJH special education to the high school. Former NP bus drivers, Emily Dillon and Wendy Paul were hired on a full-time basis. Current bus driver, Delores Schweikart’s FMLA request from August 15 – September 13, was also approved by the board. Posey County Special Services Director, Fran Wood-Osborne’s request to hire Janelle Burton as the district speech and language pathologist, was also approved by the board. Junior high boys will have the opportunity to join a tennis team thanks to the board’s approval of Brandon Barrett’s request to use the facilities. The team will not be a North Posey affiliated team and will only use the facilities when they are available. He will coordinate with the high school athletic director for practice times. Barrett stated boys in sixth through eighth grade will be allowed to participate. The team will compete in the Evansville Junior High Tennis League.

EVANSVILLE, INDIANA

New Harmony’s Juanita Hyatt sets the expectation bar high By Dave Pearce Juanita Hyatt isn’t necessarily looking for a date but not just any Johnny-come-lately is going to win a date with this spry and active 94-year-old New Harmony resident with an incredible sense of humor. “I have said that if I wanted a date, he would have to be a man without a beard, he couldn’t have a beer belly, and he couldn’t have bony knees,” Hyatt said with a smile that appeared to come from deep within. “I was born in 1917 but I’m ‘good lookin’ for that, ain’t I?” But in the meantime, Hyatt does the things that most people do to keep their homes looking nice. She trims the shrubs and manages a beautiful flower garden that is designed to having something in bloom all the time. Her son Keith, who lives behind her, helps her keep the lawn nicely mowed and manicured. But the flower garden is hers. As a matter of fact, it could have been her work in the flower garden and the heat that contributed to he recent six-day stay in the hospital. “I felt fine as the sun went down a week ago Friday,” she said. “So I got up and got my clippers out and went to work on these bushes. Then on Saturday morning, I got up and made two apple crisps for the KeckGonnerman show out at the fairgrounds. But when I came home, that night they took me to the hospital.” She said the doctors diagnosed her with a bad case of vertigo. But she said it wasn’t just the vertigo. “That upsets your whole system,” she said. “That’s probably what put me in the hospital,” she said with a hearty laugh. “I was out here pulling some of the weeds out of these flowers and I started getting dizzy. I guess that’s the price I pay for standing on my head.” But Hyatt has spent many of her years in New Harmony as a beautician. Even after the New Harmonie Heathcare center opened, she went out on certain days of the

week to do hair for the residents. But once she decided to retire, it gave her a little more time to spend with her flowers. She began expanding her flower garden about five years ago and now, even in mid-August, it catches the eye as you drive by her Main Street home in New Harmony. “I try to have something coming up all the time, that way, it doesn’t look bare. I have white irises and a few yellow ones and some of those deep purple ones that bloom out by the street in the spring,” she explained. “But you should see my flowers here in the garden at night. I have little (solar-powered) hummingbird lights that come on.” “When we first bought this place, there was an old house standing out here that was built before Father Rapp came,” she explained. “When my son was born, one of our neighbors came over and set out a tree for him. Three trees in the front yard fell on the roof of my house three different times.” Therefore the trees are no longer standing. However, what is standing is a large area of ivy that was started at the base of one of the trees and has spread around the front porch. “I have lived here since about 1976,” Hyatt explained. “We had lived in the country and my husband got tired of farming and we built this house and I have been here ever since.” Life has not always been a bed of roses for Hyatt as she lost her husband, Robert Dale Hyatt, and has buried two of her three sons. But Hyatt has not let nature get in the way of doing the things she enjoys. She enjoys her work in the yard and enjoys doing things for other people. She was born in New Harmony but the family moved to Griffin where she lost one of her brothers to the Griffin tornado. When she got married, she and her husband moved to New Jersey where he and his brother sold Chryslers. “You know, when you go away from home, you’ve always got it in the back of your mind ‘I’m going back’,” she said with

Guilty Pleasures earns Master Florist designation from FTD By Pam Robinson Guilty Pleasures Flowers and Gifts in Mount Vernon has recently received the FTD Master Florist designation. Owners Jim and Shelia Schwindel are honored to be the only florist in the Tri-State area to claim this special recognition. The FTD Master Florist, such as Guilty Pleasures, provides customers with premier quality floral designs and remains focused on delivering the highest customer service. Only top quality florists—the top 20 percent of FTD member florists in the 100-year-old network—qualify for Master Florist.

“It’s such an honor to receive this designation from FTD,” Shelia comments. “We have three of the best floral designers in the TriState area with over 75 years of combined experience. I am so lucky to be able to work with such talent.” Floral designers Faye Durchholz, Angie Clark and Romayne Bagby create the beautiful arrangements that fill Guilty Pleasures Flowers and Gifts. Thanks to their fine artistry, Shelia notes, Guilty Pleasures has tripled its FTD business over the past six months. In addition, the shoppe offers various unique products and services to consum-

ers in the community. “Besides silk and fresh flowers, plants and arrangements, we offer gift baskets to meet any need,” Shelia says. “You tell us what you want and we deliver. We also carry a large assortment of candies, tart warmers, tarts, gourmet coffee, chocolates and giftware.” Shelia appreciates her customers and her community. “God just keeps blessing us,” she says. Guilty Pleasures Flowers and Gifts is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Call 838-2441 to place your next floral or gift basket order.

Alvey excels in ‘sport of his own’ By Dave Pearce In many ways, North Posey High School senior Trevor Alvey is the usual high school senior. But if you were at the Posey County Fairgrounds on Sunday afternoon and watched him race, you soon realize that in at least one area, he is not typical. Alvey is a motocross bike racer and that calls for a lot of skill, determination, and tenacity. But the biggest thing is not something you need for the sport, it is something you can’t have…fear. Angie Price is Alvey’s older sister. She is married to David Price, who lives next door to Alvey. Both families live near the Silver Bell in St. Wendel. But together, along with their three children, the Prices have been Alvey’s biggest cheerleaders, providers, and fans as he has worked his way up through the ranks to be one of the best riders in the area. He won every race he participated in on Sunday even though this was not one of the larger outings the group has had. The Price’s have spent countless weekends, hours, and dollars helping Alvey develop into a formidable opponent who has been involved in some of the finest events in the nation. But it hasn’t always been that way. “I think he tried about every sport there is,” David said with a laugh. “But once he got into this, he loved it. When he was 10, we started

him off on a four-wheeler and he fell in love with it. He raced four-wheelers until he had a wreck on it. Then he decided the two wheels might be the better way to go. He started that about three years ago and once he got on two wheels, there was no stopping him.” Some in the crowd gasped on Sunday afternoon as they watched the 18-year-old fly seemingly fearlessly through the air jump after jump. Even the race announcers were mesmerized by some of his moves and antics. It was obvious he has ridden a motorcycle before. “My older brother Brandon raced motorcycles,” Angie explained. “Trevor watched him and wanted to try it.” Alvey attended a qualifier in Red Bud, Mich., a televised event where riders go to get qualified for professional races. He is a regular around the area in places such as Tennyson, Ind., and Corydon, Ky. He also races at most of the county fairs in the area. So while football players and soccer players are preparing for the upcoming season, Alvey’s training never stops. “It’s really the only thing he seems to really enjoy doing,” Angie said. “He tried several things and never stayed with anything too long. But he just loves this.”

Lady Wildcat golf team having trouble with consistency early By Steve Joos The Mount Vernnon girls’ golf team has three invitational meets and a dual contest under their belts and they’re still looking for some consistency. North’s top three golfers all shot lower scores than the number-two Lady Wildcat Thursday night, as the Lady Huskies outshot the visiting Lady Cats 185-195, at Evansville’s Fendrich Golf Course. “Consistency,” coach Dave Bell said. “That’s the name of this game. You hit one good shot, can you hit 30? So far, we haven’t been able to do that, with the young ones particularly.” The seniors on this year’s squad were supposed to be the team’s biggest strengths, with Kendyl Bourne the best of that group. On Thursday, she delivered as advertised, shooting a 43 to lead the Lady Wildcats. Unfortunately for Mount Vernon, Bourne was a stroke behind North’s Lauren Byers (42) and six in front of her nearest teammate, Bailey Ash, who carded a 49. A truck may not have been able to get through that six-stroke hole, but two Lady Huskies, Ashlyn Gornoll and Kelsie Droste, each made it in by each shooting 46s. Anna Heyron (51) gave the Lady Huskies a score of 185, while the top three golfers were eight strokes better than the Lady Cats’ top three (Kayleigh Albright shot a 51). Kayley Salaman, one of the four sophomore Lady Cats, rounded out the foursome with a 52. That was the first meet for Mount Vernon after the start of classes. They finished fourth in their invitational at Western Hills with a 416 and ninth in the season-opening Central Invitational, scoring 190. In between, the Lady Cats were seventh in the Lady Titan Invitational, carding a 406, two strokes behind sixth-place North Posey (404). “We had a really good attitude in all that nasty heat,” Bell said. “We were pretty tuckered out, but we showed a really good attitude.” After struggling with the heat throughout preseason practice, the Lady Cats looked their best at Eagle Valley, where the Central Invitational was cut back to nine holes due

to the heat. Bourne shot a 41 on Eagle Valley’s back nine to pace the Lady Cats, while Albright fired a 45 and Marsh carded a 47, before Kelsey Moye was 10 strokes behind Ash. The sophomore’s 57 rounded out the Mount Vernon foursome. Salmann shot a 68 as Mount Vernon led all teams playing the back nine and came in fifth overall. Castle edged Memorial on a tie-breaker after the two teams each shot 167s to tie for first. North was third on the front with a 172, one stroke ahead of Jasper’s 173. Central was sixth a 193, three strokes in back of Mount Vernon on the back nine. Bourne shot an 88 to pace Mount Vernon, sharing 11th place with North Posey’s Allison Koester and Kelsey Parrish of Castle. The Lady Vikings’ Maggie Camp carded an 81 for a share of fifth place with Carly Waggoner of Vincennes Rivet and Kelly Morgan of Memorial. Memorial paced the 12-team field with a score of 340, beating runner-up Terre Haute North (352) by 12 strokes. Vincennes (362) was third, while North Knox (376) and Princeton (399) rounded out the top five. It was the Lady Vikings’ day at Western Hills, as Camp shot an 80 to claim overall medalist honors. That was enough for a seven-stroke win over Princeton, whose top golfer, Taylor Holley, shot a 90 to come in 10 strokes behind Camp. Koester also shot a 90, while Taylor Patton (97) and Shelby Ackerman (113) rounded out the North Posey foursome. Bourne ked the Lady Cats with a 91, while Albright and Ash each shot 98s. Salaman’s 129 rounded out the Mount Vernon foursome. Gibson Southern was third in the meet with a score of 405, while Central (424) came in fifth behind Mount Vernon (416). Mater Dei (435), Boonville (457) and Bosse (561) rounded out the eight-team field. Even after the season opener and the heat took its toll on Mount Vernon as the season progressed, Bell said.

The Team of “Get Styled” won the 4th Jason Stevens Memorial Softball Tournament on July 30, 31 over the team “Power Hour” with the schore of 14 to 11. Team “Power Hour” came back from the Loser’s Bracket to force a second game after beating “Get Styled” in the first game 9 to 8. Team members first row l to r are: Hunter Stevens, Christ Smock, Derek Stevens, Chase Smith and Jason Bell. Second row: Jake Smith, Ben Tremont, Bryan Rueger, Aaron Trump and Kevin Krizan. Third row: Tim Hargett, Clint Erbacher,Jason Arnold and Dustin Choate. Photo submitted

MTV paces Southern Indiana swim teams Mount Vernon’s MTV age-group swim team finished 20th in the recent Indiana State Age group meet, the best finish for a team from Southern Indiana. Clara Baggett just missed two state records by two-hundredths of a second in each race, but still claimed the state championships in the 13-14 50- and 100-yard freestyles. Elinor Schnautz and Samantha Gowdy each finished in the top eight, while Meredith Crawford, Nathan Schur, Claudia Crawford and Elizabeth Cox each finished in the top 15. The rest of the MTV contingent included Jacob Bailey, Whitney Brown, Drew Glover, Adele Schmidt, Kelly Blair and Jordan Ambrose. Schnautz and Baggett were individual record breakers for MTV, while the 13-14 girls’ relay team (Baggett, Glover, Claudia Crawford and Gowdy) broke all the relay records in their group.

Wassmers falls just short of tenth title as field finishes tough By Steve Joos Maybe Kevin Wassmer can use this as a teaching tool for his charges on the North Posey girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; golf team. The nine-time Evansville Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City Golf champion fired a one-under par 69 Sunday at the Evansville Country Club, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough as he took third in the tourney with a 72-hole total of 282, six strokes behind City champ Dave Mills, who fashioned a 276 in the tourney, which was played over the course of two weekends at four golf courses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I played pretty good,â&#x20AC;? Wassmer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make any birdies. I just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get anything out of my round. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get anything out of the last two rounds, really, but Dave (Mills) played pretty good, so he deserved it (the championship).â&#x20AC;? Wassmer carded a 67 in the opening round at Helfrich Golf course, which put him in the hunt (two strokes back), but the Poseyville resident struggled in the next two rounds, shooting a 72 at Fendrich and then hit a 74 at Oak Meadow when play resumed Saturday.

Wassmer fell into the same trap several other top golfers ran into at Oak Meadow, as he bogied four of the first five holes on the Newburgh course, but he still went into the final round just one stroke behind Alex Turner and Nick Frazier with a 213. But on Sunday, he broke par and hit the ball well, but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the shots to go in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;?I just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t maximize my round,â&#x20AC;? Wassmer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the putts going in the hole and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what it boiled down to.â&#x20AC;? The greens were tough at Rolling Hills for everyone, Wassmer said, adding that Mills shot a big number at Newburgh, but came charging back with a 63 at ECC to overtake Frazier and Turner. Wassmer was happy with the way he played, but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get what he would have needed to win. Wassmer finished a stroke behind Frazier (281) for third place, while former New Harmony athlete Drew Matthews carded an evenâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;par 70 for a 291 and finished in a four-way tie for 11th place

with David Lott, Charles Emge and Kyle Brinker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just played a below-par tournament for me,â&#x20AC;? Matthews said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit putts, made a lot of three-putts, I think I had something like 14 three-putts for this tournament.â&#x20AC;? Matthews wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pleased with his first two rounds after firing a 69 in the first round the adding a 72 at Fendrich, which had been roughed up a bit by heavy rains this spring and summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They lost a few greens,â&#x20AC;? Matthews said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were some greens which were slow and bumpy. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t predict what natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to do, so they did the best they could. It was a great tournament.â&#x20AC;? The greens at Rolling Hills were also bumpy, but Matthews didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to use that as an excuse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to learn,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be more mature, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to know that everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to go your way. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to hope for more luck next year.â&#x20AC;? That and getting off to a better start.

Mount Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coach Zol healing after heart surgery Elective triple bypass slows veteran coach By Steve Joos Veteran Mount Vernon swim coach and school aquatic director Larry Zoller is resting at home after undergoing triple bypass surgery last week. Zoller, who will enter his 22nd season at Mount Vernon this winter, underwent the surgery Tuesday in Evansville and left the hospital Thursday, said that he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feeling great, but that he is recuperating from the surgery well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something that needed to be done right away,â&#x20AC;? Zoller said, adding that a heart surgeon told him the bypass could have been put off for a few months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I wanted to do it while I still felt well.â&#x20AC;? Zoller said that he had been hoarse last month and apparently thought he was suffering from acid reflux disease, adding that

he had passed a stress test. He was about to leave the hospital when Zoller was called back for more tests, which uncovered the blockage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a heart attack,â&#x20AC;? the coach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I just decided to go ahead and get it fixed.â&#x20AC;? Zoller recuperating now, but he hopes to be back at school in time for the start of swim practice. He is currently unable to drive or do heavy lifting for the next four weeks, but hopes to get back to a normal routine. Zoller said that he appreciates and thoughts prayers, as well as the good wishes from the community. Cards for Coach Zoller may be sent to Larry Zoller: c/o The Posey County News, PO Box 397, New Harmony, IN 47631.

West Second Street to close for repairs beginning Thursday By Pam Robinson Wastewater Superintendent Rodney Givens alerted the Mount Vernon City Council at the Monday, August 8, meeting to upcoming work on West Second Street for Phase 2 of the sewer project. Givens reported that cutting on that street will begin the week of August 15 and will require blocking the street and re-routing traffic one block at a time for approximately the next two months. He stated that flyers will be handed out to business owners affected along Second Street, but that access to those businesses will still be available. In other business: •Chief of Police Grant Beloat announced that the Neighborhood Watch meeting for Council District 2 will be held Thursday, August 25, 2011, at 7 p.m. in Trinity United Church of Christ, 505 Mulberry Street. In addition, Beloat reminded area residents to drive with caution in school zones now that school is back in session. •When meeting as the Water Utility Board, council members authorized letting the bid for the geotextile dewatering bag project to the lowest responsive bidder upon verification by City Attorney Beth McFadin Higgins that the bid follows the Common Construction Wage Law for this area. •Councilman Andy Hoehn has questioned the written protocol for declaring an action dead if no second accompanies a motion, as a few months ago in the case of the trash ordinance. City Attor-

ney Beth McFadin Higgins responded that she had sent council members an email regarding the ruling. She stated that she could send the information again. More discussion ensued with Hoehn commenting that Evansville City Council and state and federal legislatures are moving away from the second to a motion. •The committee formed to study the intersection of Third and Main streets will meet now that information has been provided on traffic counts and vehicle speed in that area. The committee is working on a possible solution to lowering the number of vehicle accidents there. •Council approved the resolution (11-08) to set up the Operation Pull-Over fund for receiving the grant money to participate in this quarterly traffic enforcement event. •Councilman Andy Hoehn noted that a boat was parked illegally in a no parking zone on Sunday and asked if police patrol could be added in the area. Chief of Police Grant Beloat commented that his todo list included extra patrol there. Councilman Steve Fuelling stated that citizens should call the police in the event of illegal parking. •Councilwoman Becky Higgins urged Mount Vernon residents to take pride in their community and to clean up in preparation for River Days. The Mount Vernon City Council will meet again on Monday, August 22, 2011, at 7 p.m. in the City Hall Annex.

Any defense to the application for judgment must be filed with the Posey County Circuit Court and served on the county auditor and treasurer before 8/26/2011. The court will set a date for a hearing at least seven (7) days before the advertised date of sale and the court will determine any defenses to the application for judgment at the hearing. The county auditor and the county treasurer are entitled to receive all pleadings, motions, petitions, and other filings related to the defense to the application for judgment. Such sale will be held on 9/12/2011 at the Hovey House, Commissioners’ Room and that sale will continue until all tracts and real property have been offered for sale. Property will not be sold for an amount which is less than the sum of: (A) the delinquent taxes and special assessments on each tract or item of real property; and (B) the taxes and special assessments on the real property that are due and payable in the year of the sale, whether or not they are delinquent; and (C) all penalties due on the delinquencies, and (D) an amount prescribed by the county auditor that equals the sum of: (1) twenty-five($25) for postage and publication costs; and (2) any other costs incurred by the county that are directly attributable to the tax sale; and (E) any unpaid costs due under IC 6-1.1-24-2(b) from a prior tax sale; and No property listed below shall be sold if, at any time before the sale, the Total Amount for Judgment is paid in full. If the real property is sold in the tax sale, the amount required to redeem such property will be 110% of the minimum bid for which the tract or real property was offered at the time of sale, as required by IC 6-1.1-24-5 if redeemed not more than six (6) months after the date of sale, or 115% of the minimum bid for which the tract or real property was offered at the time of sale, as required by IC 6-1.1-24-5 if redeemed more than six (6) months after the date of sale, plus the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the minimum bid on the real property plus ten percent (10%) per annum on the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the minimum bid on the property. All taxes and special assessments upon the property paid by the purchaser subsequent to the sale, plus 10% per annum interest on those taxes and special assessments, will also be required to be paid to redeem such property. In addition, IC 6-1.1-25-2 (e) states the total amount required for redemption may include the following costs incurred and paid by the purchaser or the purchaser’s assignee or the county before redemption: (1) The attorney’s fees and cost of giving notice under IC 6-1.1-25-4.5.

If the tract or item of real property is sold for an amount more than the minimum bid and the property is not redeemed, the owner of record of the property who is divested of ownership at the time the tax deed is issued may have a right to the tax sale surplus. The Auditor and Treasurer specifically reserve the right to withhold from the sale any parcel which has been listed in error, or which otherwise becomes ineligible for sale either prior to 9/12/2011 or during the duration of the sale. This notice of real property tax sale, and the tax sale itself are undertaken and will be conducted pursuant to the requirements of the laws of the State of Indiana which regulate the sale of land for delinquent taxes, pursuant to I.C. 6-1.1-24-1 et seq. The County does not warrant the accuracy of the street address or common description of the property, and a misstatement in the key number or street address does not invalidate an otherwise valid sale.

Tickets, warnings issued during Saturation Patrol On August 11, thousands of students started their new school year at several different schools along S.R. 261 north of Newburgh. Since S.R. 261 and S.R. 66 are considered “High Crash Areas” and are the two highways leading to four different schools, Indiana State Police conducted a saturation patrol this morning targeting dangerous and aggressive drivers. Between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m., troopers issued 31 traffic tickets and 62 warnings for various traffic violations. Troopers also investigated a minor property damage crash at S.R. 66 and Lincoln and the Warrick County Sheriff’s Department investigated a property damage crash on S.R. 261 and Vann Road.

According to crash statistics, the majority of crashes along S.R. 261 and S.R. 66 are caused by motorists following too closely and distracted driving. Troopers will continue to patrol S.R. 66 and S.R. 261 in the early morning and late afternoon hours in an attempt to reduce the number of crashes along these two highways. Troopers encourage motorists to slow down in all school zones, follow other vehicles at a safe distance and avoid being distracted by staying off their cell phones. “Our goal for conducting saturation patrols is to gain voluntary compliance, educate motorists regarding the problem areas and to reduce the number of crashes,” said Lieutenant Dennis Marshall, Commander of the Evansville Post.

ing a change in how those days are distributed in the state's North Zone. The North Zone will be split into two segments for hunting of ducks, coots and mergansers, and into three segments for Canada geese. In recent years, North Zone duck hunting dates ran consecutively and the Canada goose season was in two segments. “If you go straight through for 60 days in the North Zone duck season, it would open on a Saturday and close on a Tuesday,” said Adam Phelps, waterfowl biologist for DNR Fish & Wildlife. “So, we moved the two extra days to later, basically to try to give a weekend to those folks who want to hunt late.” The dates are not final until approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in mid to late September. Historically, dates have been accepted as proposed. The DNR’s recommended dates for ducks, coots and mergansers are: • North Zone, Oct. 15 to Dec. 11, and Dec. 24-25 • South Zone, Oct. 22-30, and Nov. 23 to Jan. 12 • Ohio River Zone, Oct.

29-30, and Nov. 26 to Jan. 22 For Canada geese, the proposed dates are: • North Zone, Oct. 15 to Nov. 6, Nov. 23 to Jan. 8, and Jan. 14-17 • South Zone, Oct. 22-30 and Nov 23 to Jan. 26 • Ohio River Zone, Oct. 29-30 and Nov. 21 to Jan. 31 “What we’ve done in the past (for Canada geese) is open for two days in the North Zone, close until November, and then resume,” Phelps said. “We’ve gotten feedback from hunters who want to hunt over open water. So we gave them more days early, then a break, and then went as lateas we have in the past. We’re trying to keep pressure on Canada geese in late January, but still give the folks who want to hunt over open water a chance as well.” The North Zone is that part of Indiana north of a line extending east from the Illinois border along Indiana 18 to U.S. 31; north along U.S. 31 to U.S. 24; east on U.S. 24 to Huntington; and southeast on U.S. 224 to the Ohio border. The South Zone is the area south of that line but north of the Ohio River Zone. The Ohio River Zone is that portion of Indiana south of a line extending east from the Illinois border along Interstate 64 to New Albany; east on Indiana 62 to Indiana 56; east on Indiana 56 to Vevay; along Indiana 156 to North Landing; north on Indiana 56 to U.S. 50; and northeast on U.S. 50 to the Ohio border. The daily bag limit for ducks in all zones is six, including no more than four mallards (of which no more than two can be hens), three wood ducks, two pintails, two redheads, two scaup, one canvasback, one black duck, and one mottled duck. The possession limit is twice the daily bag limit. The daily bag limit for Canada geese in all zones is two with a possession limit of four. DNR also has proposed a 15-day late season for Canada geese from Feb. 1-15 in selected areas. Indiana conducted what was scheduled as a three-year experiment authorized by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to target resident giant Canada geese without negatively impacting migratory geese. Last season was the third year of the experiment, and although most areas achieved the USFWS requirement that at least 80 percent of the late season harvest consist of resident giant Canada geese, areas around Terre Haute reported only 78 percent. “So now we’re in a holding pattern, but they are

letting us continue to evaluate,” Phelps said. Consequently, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will authorize the late season only in the same counties as previous years. Those counties are: Adams, Allen, Boone, Clay, DeKalb, Elkhart, Greene, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Huntington, Johnson, Kosciusko, LaGrange, LaPorte, Madison, Marion, Marshall, Morgan, Noble, Parke, St. Joseph, Shelby, Steuben, Starke, Sullivan, Vermillion, Vigo, Wells and Whitley. Special restrictions apply; a free permit is required. The daily bag limit is five, and the possession limit is 10. Statewide season dates for light geese and brant are Oct. 15 to Jan. 27. The bag limit is 20 light geese (snow and/or Ross' geese) and one brant. The possession limit is two brant. There is no possession limit on light geese. Statewide season dates for white-fronted geese are Oct. 15 to Nov. 6 and Nov. 23 to Jan. 26. The daily bag limit is one, and the possession limit is two. For more information: Phil Bloom, DNR Communications, (317) 232-4003, pbloom@dnr.in.gov. DNR aims to clear up possession limit rules The Department of Natural Resources has proposed rule changes to clear up ambiguity regarding possession limits for legally taken fish and wildlife that have a bag limit, without adversely affecting wildlife species or unnecessarily encumbering legal anglers and hunters. “There are varied opinions and interpretations of the existing possession limit rule that cause confusion within the fishing and hunting public” said Col. Scotty Wilson, director of DNR Law Enforcement. “Therefore, we’re seeking a rule change to clearly define possession restrictions where a bag limit is established and at what point legally taken wild animals no longer count toward a possession limit.” The Natural Resources Commission, an autonomous board that must approve rule changes requested by the DNR, granted preliminary adoption of the proposed change at its July 19 meeting. The measure is open for public comment on the NRC website (www.in.gov/nrc/2377. htm), which also includes full text of the proposed rule language. Public comments will be included in a report to the NRC prior to consideration of final adoption at a future date. A nine-month review of current regulations by two

DNR divisions – Law Enforcement and Fish & Wildlife – prompted the agency to seek the change, which would exempt from the possession limit restriction legally taken wild animals that have been processed and stored at an individual’s primary residence. Several other state wildlife agencies that were contacted as part of the review already have adopted similar rules. Currently, daily bag limit is defined (Indiana Code 148-2-18) as the quantity of individual wild animals that may be taken in one day of a specified season or during the entire season. For example, the daily bag limit for Northern pike is three. The daily bag limit for rabbits is five. Confusion begins with possession limit, which is intended to be twice the daily bag limit. However, common questions asked of the DNR point to the challenge of a universally accepted definition: • Does possession limit apply only in the field, while at camp, cabin, or hotel? • Does it include fish and wildlife stored at my home in my freezer? • Do last season’s rabbits still in my freezer count against this year? • If I currently have two times the daily bag limit in my freezer, can I hunt/fish for that species again before using some of it? • If not, what are the requirements for becoming legal? Do I have to eat it, give it away, or simply dispose of it to become “legal”? • Does part of a wild animal, such as two hind legs of a rabbit, count as a full rabbit? Current fishing regulations complicate the issue, depending on where fish are caught. Daily bag limits only apply to public waters. Fish taken from private ponds or impoundments may be taken in any quantity. “This proposal will clarify language that seems to make criminals out of someone simply because he or she is an avid and successful hunter or angler,” Wilson said. These changes would not apply to migratory birds and waterfowl. U.S. Fish and Wildlife authorities interpret possession limit to include processed and stored specimens. Wilson said, “at this time we feel it would be too problematic to have state and/or federal laws that contradict each other on these particular species.” For more information: Lt. William Browne, DNR Law Enforcement, (765) 509-0207, wbrowne@dnr. in.gov.

Aunt Sallie’s Soda Shoppe is still remembered fondly, years after the New Harmony business was closed due to a devastating fire. The affordable familyfriendly ice cream parlor lent old-fashioned charm to the community. That’s the way it is with everything Charles and Sally Huck have touched in their many years of service to Posey County. Both New Harmony natives, Charles and Sally started their courtship in the eighth grade. Although each dated a few other people in high school, the dates just confirmed what the couple knew in their hearts: they were meant for each other. They married in 1953, a couple of years after graduating from New Harmony School, some 58 years ago. Since t h e n , they’ve worked in

a true partnership to better their community. Once Charles served his tour in the U.S. Navy (January 1951 to November 1954—“three years, nine months and 27 days”), the newlyweds returned to the Huck family farm. In line with their interests and lifestyle, Charles stepped into leadership on the 4-H Fair Board while Sally worked with the Town and Country Extension Homemakers. Once they got started helping, Charles and Sally just couldn’t seem to stop adding volunteer activities to their schedule. Charles is past commander of both the New Harmony American Legion and the Wadesville VFW and still serves as senior vice president of the VFW. He’s past president of both the Aircraft Carrier Association and the Charles Ford Home board. He is on the board of the

Workingmen’s Institute for over 30 years and has served as their treasurer. Past treasurer of the Ribeyre Gym Restoration Group, he takes pride in the building’s use for school and senior citizen functions now. Charles is a Mason, and the Hadi Shriners have relied on him as their past treasurer also. For nearly 40 years, he’s been active in Kiwanis. Charles has maintained this volunteer involvement while working long hours. Not only did he farm, but he served 26 years at General Electric in Mount Vernon. No wonder, the Posey County Farm Bureau, Inc. named him Posey County Volunteer of the Year in 2009. Sally has kept a stellar volunteer record as well. Her beloved Town and Country Extension Homemakers just recently named her 2011 Homemaker of the Year. She’s been a long-time
