State civil suit joins list of charges against Poseyville’s Lupfer By Holly Heerdink A law passed in 2009 could come back to haunt a Poseyville woman accused of embezzling $53,557 from Poseyville town funds. The law, which was introduced as a deterrent to unlawful conduct by public officials, allows the state to sue for triple the amount of damages alleged in civil cases. Christina Lupfer, the former Poseyville Town Clerk who resigned last fall during the midst

The State Board of Accounts audited the Poseyville town government’s finances and discovered several instances of embezzlement. The audit included reports that Lupfer had double-payed herself via direct deposits and hard copies of her paychecks and charged $3,883.42 on the town’s credit card for personal uses, among other expenses. Following the news conference, Zoeller compared the amount of

Charges, from Page 1A missing out of the city of Evansville, it may not raise to the same level. But again, it’s a large amount on anybody’s account,” he said. Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers was also present at the press conference. His office filed criminal charges against Lupfer following an investigation by the Indiana State Police in late May. Lupfer is criminally accused of three counts of forgery, three counts of fraud, one of theft and one of official misconduct. “These types of crimes are a major violation of the public trust, and we want to hold people accountable if these types of crimes occur,” Clowers said. Although Attorney General Zoeller was visiting Mount Vernon on official business, he said he had visited Posey County several times before. “You know, I used to go to New Harmony every year to see Jane Owen, and she would have me down to lunch. The last year we were scheduled to meet was the day she died. But I haven’t been back to New Harmony since, but I’ll have to head out and visit. I miss Jane.

RETROSPE RETROSPECT ETROSP PECT Taylor, from Page 1A people I haven’t gone to work in 20 years. They just pay me for my hobby.” He appreciates that teaching and learning experiences aren’t limited to the four walls of the high school. For example, Taylor’s students have mastered the skill to set up the lighting for major productions of the Evansville Philharmonic and for Evansville ARC’s Really Big Show, an annual event. The organizations pay the school for the technical theatre services, and Taylor is gratified to see his students become his colleagues. Likewise, Angelus, an MVHS girls’ choral ensemble has received international recognition. Last summer, the ensemble did an East Coast tour including stops in Philadelphia and New York City. This summer, their West Coast tour will place them in the San Francisco area, beginning July 20. To kick off the tour, Taylor and Angelus will be guests of former MVHS principal Don Goerlitz and will perform at his small Episcopal church in Albany, California. Students nee colleagues hold mutual respect for their teacher. For example, MVHS Sophomore Mikey Stephens-Emerson, one of the lead actors in New Harmony Theatre’s recent 2011 production of ”Lost in Yonkers,” insisted Taylor receive special mention in the playbill. Taylor’s training in the arts accounts for his finesse in relating to teenagers. He completed the Bachelor of Music Education and the Master of Music in Choral Conducting, each at the Bloomington, Ind., campus of Indiana University. The prestigious music school has achieved the highest ranking in the nation. Beyond that, Taylor worked as an actor in summer theatre, as a singing waiter in dinner theatre, as a performer during a two-month military tour in Europe, as a cast member of a show for a cruise line making port in Florida and the Bahamas and as one of the players in a Top 40 band popular on the East Coast. He brought practical, hands-on experience to MVHS when he settled here in 1989. Throughout his career, he has brought
recognition to the high school and his students. “The music and theatre communities are relatively small and opportunities for participation in organizations such as the United States Institute for Theatre Technology, the Educational Theatre Association, PLASA and The ESTA Foundation have added credibility and meaningfulness for what is taught,” he says. “Additionally, associations with internationally recognized performing artists, composers and entertainment technology professionals allow Mt. Vernon’s students to be involved in the performing arts at a far higher level than is normally associated with high school.“ Both fellow teachers and students appreciate his contribution of articles to “Projection Lights and Staging News,” “Dramatics” and “Teaching Theatre” magazines. In 2005, he was named Technical Theatre Educator of the Year by “Stage Directions Magazine.” The year following, he became Technical Editor of “Dramatics” and “Teaching Theatre” magazines. In 2009, his college alma mater recognized him as a Distinguished Alumni of the Indiana University “Singing Hoosiers.” In addition to his work at MVHS, he teaches secondary theatre methods as an adjunct faculty member in the University of Evansville’s theatre department and serves as co-chair of the Media Development Committee of The ESTA Foundation. Taylor is pleased that his students and the larger community alike continue to enjoy his taste in musical and theatrical selections as he seeks to challenge and inspire students. Needless to say, he is excited about the opening of the MVHS Fine Arts Academy to students throughout the region this fall. He encourages students to visit the website at www.mvhsfinearts.com to learn the myriad of opportunities the academy offers in visual and performing arts. Mount Vernon is a great place to be,” he says. “It is very supportive of the arts.” Certainly, Mount Vernon will never find a better patron of the arts than Dana Taylor.

Mount Vernon River Days committee seeks flood photos
INGREDIENTS 1/4 cup olive oil Salt 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch chunks 2 medium green peppers, sliced into strips 1 large yellow or white onion, sliced into strips 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, or a mixture of oregano, basil and rosemary • 8 beef hot dogs, preferably with natural casings • 4 sandwich buns • Mustard • • • • • •
METHOD 1. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or skillet or griddle until it shimmers. Put the potatoes in the pan in one layer and fry on medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes without touching them. Use a metal spatula to scrape the potatoes off the bottom of the skillet, flipping them. Sprinkle salt over the potatoes, and cook for another 2-3 minutes without touching them. 2. Remove the potatoes, which should be partially browned, to a bowl and set aside. Turn the heat to high and add the peppers and onions. Arrange evenly in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes without touching them. Sprinkle salt over them, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes untouched. There should be some browned and even blackened bits here and there. Add the Italian seasoning and the potatoes to the pan, stir to combine and cook over medium-high heat until they are soft and nicely browned, about 8-10 minutes. 3. Heat a grill or a frying pan to cook your hot dogs; don’t boil your dogs for this recipe. Grill or fry until they are done to your liking and set aside. 4. Liberally smear mustard on both sides of the sandwich roll. Add two hot dogs per roll and top with as much of the potatoes, peppers and onions as will fit. Serve at once. Yield: Serves 4-6.

Each year the Mount Vernon River Days Festival has as its purpose to bring attention to the special privilege residents, neighbors and friends share in enjoying and being witness to the wonders of living on the banks of the Ohio River. Of course, there are all kinds of “wonders” that this opportunity affords; and this year, with the river’s third highest crest, 51.8 feet, folks were reminded of the awesome power of the Ohio. With memories of the 2011 Flood fresh on minds of area residents, the 75th anniversary of the “Big Flood” in 1937, when the crest reached 59.2 feet, will be commemorated at this year’s Mount Vernon River Days event set for September 9, 10 and 11. In 1937, the river inundated a lot of mid-America, including Mount Vernon. The water lapped at the steps of the Eagles’ building on Water Street and surrounded the water treatment plant. Up and down the Ohio, from Johnstown to New Orleans, the “Beautiful Ohio” showed its power and might. Becky Higgins, Vice Chair of the River Days Committee, is collecting 1937 Flood photographs and other memorabilia to be featured in an exhibit that will take place at the 2011 festival. Anyone who has pictures or collectible items from the 1937 flood that they are will-

WMI News One has only to step outside on a hot, humid day and then back into the airconditioning to appreciate that life was more difficult for New Harmony residents in the past. In the days before electricity, automobiles, paved roads, telephones and all the other wonderful conve-
By Valerie Werkmeister It’s not easy to find things for free these days. Avid couponers might be able to find deals for free things. Even then, one must still consider the time and effort involved in clipping coupons and shopping. In most cases, those free things only come after you have bought something else first. Ask someone who has been to the Community Table at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church on Thursday nights, and they can tell you how to find something free…and no purchase is necessary! Membership to the church isn’t required either. In fact, there is no preaching at all. Your income level information is not requested, and no one is ever turned away. Intrigued? It’s a free meal. That’s right---completely free---cooked, prepared and served by volunteers. Beverages and desserts are included too. The meals are served every Thursday night with doors opening at 4:30 p.m., and dinner is served from 5:30 until 6:30 p.m. The idea was born through a group of 12 women who met regularly to enjoy their time and fellowship together. They soon realized they wanted to do something more in their community. They visited Dale Presby-
terian Church, creators of the Community Table, and knew they wanted to do the same thing in Poseyville. They asked permission to copy the idea, and the Dale church was excited to share the concept. The ladies shared the idea with other area churches and asked for joint participation. “We wanted it to be a project that all churches could join together to provide this,” said Connie Koester. Yet, they wanted to keep the meals free from religious references. There is no prayer given at the beginning of the meal. Their motto has jokingly become, “No preachin’, just good eatin’ .” The volunteers consider St. Paul’s church only as the place to serve the meals. St. Francis Xavier Church and Poseyville Christian Church have been enthusiastic supporters since the start of Community Table on May 5. Even more amazing is the fact that every meal has been provided based on donations. Koester stated that no church funds have been required to help support the effort. People often tuck folded bills in her apron pockets as she helps serve the meals each Thursday. She is always humbled by their generosity, and she emphasizes that donations are not
requested at the meals. Over the weeks, Koester and the other volunteers have noticed new faces. Some come as a way to feed the family while a parent works in the evening, others come to just enjoy others’ company, and many come as a way to have a break from cooking their family a meal. Whatever the reason, it’s clear that word is getting out about good, home-cooked, free meals. They started by serving just 20 and recently served almost 78. “It’s touching many more lives that we thought. It’s a completely different mission that we thought,” Koester said. Local youth have also taken an interest by volunteering their services to wash dishes. Each week, Austin Ahrens and brothers, Brandon and Jared Tepool, come to help serve food and clear tables. “They are fantastic. I really couldn’t do it without them,” Koester said. Each of the churches has taken turns providing meals. They hope to add more churches in the rotation and hope that even more people will begin to take advantage of this community service project. St. Pauls’ U.M.C. is located at the corner of Cale and Oak Streets in Poseyville.
thorn tree would improve circulation and diet with large quantities of garlic, onions and red beets would lower blood pressure. To cure diarrhea in the summertime (summer flux), simply eat blackberries. Blackberry wine works too. For those pesky foot problems, bacon applied overnight cured an ingrown toenail. To remove corns from the feet, great-grandma would just dab a little castor oil on them daily. After about 10 days, they would simply peel off. Mayapple fruits would cure heat exhaustion, and if the heat gave you a head-
ache, just swallow some cobwebs. If you wanted to keep those pesky mosquitoes away, great-grandma would tell you to rub yourself down with black walnut leaves. Or you could hang up bunches of pennyroyal plants to keep the house mosquito-free. A little sassafras root sprinkled around doors and windows would keep ants out. For sprains and sore muscles, great-grandma might have made a liniment of turpentine oil, white vinegar and fresh eggs. But if times were hard, a cloth soaked in the patient’s urine would ease
the pain. And, finally, what if great-grandpa came home inebriated after a night of too much revelry? Greatgrandma was waiting with a cure for drunkenness – six teaspoons of honey every ten minutes until a total of 2 pounds had been given. It is noted that the treatment would also abolish the desire to drink liquor! One thing is for sure: great-grandpa would think twice about going out on the town again. These and other home remedies can be found in “Hoosier Home Remedies” compiled and considered by Varro E. Tyler.

Doctoring was a family affair in those days, and home remedies were passed down from one generation to the next. Following are just a few that your greatgrandmother might have practiced on her family. For an asthma sufferer, she might have prescribed a cup of alfalfa tea or tea made from a hornet nest. Chewing a piece of honeycomb was said to help breathing almost immediately. Lying on a pillow filled with hops or covering one’s chest with a muskrat skin, fur side down, was sure to do the trick.

Museum hosts concert Bring your family to the Evansville Museum on Saturday, July 9, 2011, at 12:30 p.m. for a beautiful harp performance by the students of Dr. Erzsébet Gaál. The sound of birds, wind and water contribute to the music of nature. Musical instruments were also created from parts of nature, such as wood, gut and shell. Making organized sound on these instruments took, for example, human breath or finger touch. Because of these associations, nature and the human soul have been connected since the beginning of the human race. Throughout centuries, composers were inspired by the sound of nature. They wrote musical compositions imitating, for example, the sound of
water running in a stream or birds chirping. Likewise, painters have works of art demonstrating their relationship with nature. On the occasion of Patricia Brentano’s exhibition We Don’t Own Nature. We’re a Part of It! at the Evansville Museum, a handful of Dr. Erzsébet Gaál’s music students from Indiana and Illinois will demonstrate the beauty of nature on harp. This admission-free program will be in the Evansville Museum’s Old Gallery and will include all forms of art, music and poetry, relative to nature. Please call the Museum at (812) 425-2406 to make your complimentary reservation.

Bishop Thompson ordained Bishop Charles Coleman Thompson was ordained as the fifth Bishop of Evansville, in ceremonies at Roberts Municipal Stadium in Evansville, on Wednesday, June 29, at 2 p.m. The public is invited to attend. Bishop Thompson succeeds Bishop Gerald A. Gettelfinger, who is retiring after 22 years of leadership of the diocese. (It is known as the “Diocese of Evansville” because Evansville is the “See City” – a phrase comparable to a city that serves as “a county seat.”) The diocese includes 12 counties of southwestern Indiana, the location of 69 parish churches, 29 Catholic schools, an active ministry to the Spanish-speaking and
three campus ministry centers. Catholic Charities, also part of Catholic ministry, provides counselors for schools and families and various programs for the needy. The Catholic yearbook counts 76 priests in the diocese, along with 50 deacons, almost 600 Catholic school teachers and over 1,000 people teaching religion in parishes. Catholics number about 85,000, or 17 percent of the total population of the 12county area. Bishop Thompson will be ordained by Archbishop Joseph Kelly of Louisville, Bishop Thompson’s home. Retired Archbishop Thomas Kelly of Louisville and the retiring Bishop Gettelfinger will also participate in the ordination, along with an ad-

Sermon of the Week
Special to the News
Impacting our nation with gospel The preaching of the gospel of Christ had a direct influence on the forming of our nation. Among those whom God raised up during that time was George Whitfield. It has been said that his preaching had a direct influence of the uniting of the colonies together. Also influencing the up and coming nation were godly men and women throughout the country. I was not aware of the friendship between Whitfield and Benjamin Franklin. Though known to be an agnostic, Franklin was greatly influenced by Whitfield's life and ministry. Listed in this devotion are the very words Ben Franklin wrote as to the effect Whitfield's preaching had on communities. For General Baptists, there is another important day during July, 2011. Wednesday, July 20, is a Day of Prayer & Fasting. Throughout this year we are being called to prayer, fasting and recon-
ciliation. Unless the Lord comes before 2012, it will be the Year of Evangelism. Oh, that we will have a passion, a burning within every General Baptist congregation, the desire to reach lost people for Christ! A movement like this only comes by churches seeking the face of God, confessing sin, reconciling with one another and confessing Jesus is Lord. As a minister of the gospel, you are called upon to lead your congregation in prayer and fasting on July 20. Encourage various groups within the church to schedule prayer times. Schedule a concert of prayer some time during that day. A prayer guide could be printed for families or individuals to use throughout the day. Foremost is being open to the Spirit's moving in the prayer gatherings. The week following this day of prayer, General Baptists will gather for the Ministry & Mission Sum-
mit. We need the Lord to reveal Himself in this gathering. Let us prepare for these days by being open to His leading, surrendering our own agenda, letting go of all that divides us, and expecting a fresh anointing by His Spirit. God has given His only Son to die for our sins, it is His church, and His compassion is for the lost; so let us be done with lesser things and be of one mind in surrendering to the Great Command and the Great Commission. The Lord has raised us up for this day, the opportunities are before us, and the time for responding to His call is now. Scripture "Finally, brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord will spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it did also with you; and that we will be rescued from perverse and evil men; for not all have faith. But the Lord is faithful, and He will
strengthen and protect you from the evil one. We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you are doing and will continue to do what we command. May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ" (II Thessalonians 3: 1-5 NASB). Quotation: "Benjamin Franklin wrote in his autobiography of the effect George Whitefield's preaching was having on the colonies: 'It was wonderful to see the change soon made in the manners of our inhabitants. From being thoughtless or indifferent about religion, it seemed as if all the world were growing religious, so that one could not walk thro' the town in an evening without hearing psalms sung in different families of every street," (America's God and Country by William J. Federer, pg. 686).

Mount Vernon FFA attends state convention Mount Vernon FFA sent 10 members to the 82nd Indiana FFA State Convention June 13-15 on the campus of Purdue University. For 2011, “Infinite Potential” served as the theme for the three-day convention as FFA members from across the state gathered to celebrate 82 years of premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agriculture education. Members from Mount Vernon attended five general sessions in Elliott Hall of Music, toured Historic Prophetstown, a farmstead dedicated to showing, sharing and teaching about horse powered farming and attended a trade show. Oklahoma native Riley Pagett, National FFA President, addressed the convention at the second general session and Ted McKinney, the Senior Director for Global Corporate Affairs with Elanco Animal
Health, spoke at the fifth general session. The Indiana FFA State Convention was an opportunity for FFA members to be rewarded for the hard work they have put in throughout the past year in Career Development Events (CDE), Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAE), as well as chapter recognition. Mat Seifert competed in the Freshman Extemporaneous Speaking CDE, placing third in the state, and sang in the State Chorus. Andrea Seifert ran for District X office in a field of thirteen candidates.

Mount Vernon Junior Legion team continues to impress
Mount Vernon Junior American Legion Right fielder, Colin Varner, makes the diving catch during the second inning of the home game against Newburgh on a beautiful baseball Thursday evening. Photo by Terri Koch By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon Junior American Legion baseball team was supposed to play a round-robin Saturday with Heritage Hills and Gibson Southern, but Heritage Hills dropped out at the last minute. So the Junior Legion made the best of things by sweeping the visitors from Gibson Southern. That, in turn, gave the Post Five squad a sweep of last week’s games, including onesided wins over Carmi’s senior team and Junior Pate, as well as a close win over the Boonville senior team. “We’ve been playing very well,” coach Dan McNamara said. “The pitchers have been throwing strikes, everybody’s been hitting the ball well, up and down the lineup, we’re playing good defense. It’s been fun this season.” On Saturday, Collin Varner’s infield single with one out in the bottom of the fifth
capped a two run rally that gave Mount Vernon a 6-5 win over Gibson Southern and a sweep of their twinbill. Mount Vernon had taken a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, only to have Gibson Southern hit them with five runs in the top of the fourth. Post Five got one of those runs back in the bottom of the fourth and then in the fifth, Drake McNamara doubled, Clay Ford singled and Seth Reeves bunted them over a base. A passed ball brought in McNamara with the tying run, and then Craig Beeson was issued an intentional walk before Varner beat out a slow roller along the third base line to drive in Ford with the game winner. McNamara took over for Veeck on the mound in the third and shut down Gibson Southern over the next five innings, fanning six over those final frames. In the first game, River VanZant led off the bottom of the eighth inning with a walk-

off home run to give Mount Vernon a 9-8 victory. The Junior Legion got down 7-0 in the opener, as Gibson Southern roughed up starting pitcher Trevor Veeck for six runs in the top of the third. Mount Vernon chipped away after that, with two runs each in the fifth and sixth frames before erupting for four in the bottom of the seventh, sending the game into extra frames. The contest ended abruptly when VanZant opened the bottom of the eighth by planting a pitch in the right field parking lot. The walk-off shot was VanZant’s second home run of the game. And did anyone mention that VanZant pitched two innings of relief to get the win, following Varner and starting pitcher Ryan Goeltz? On Thursday night, the Junior Legion traveled to Boonville and pulled out a 5-4 win over that post’s senior Legion squad. Ross Canada pitched a good game and the team held a lead for most of the contest, but once again had to rally to pull things out in the seventh inning. A wild pitch enabled McNamara to score the winning run in the top of the seventh. Canada was touched for four runs, all but one of them unearned. Hank Dausman pitched the last two innings and picked up the win. The three comeback wins followed a pair of games which were shortened by the mercy rule. Post Five definitely brought the bats to the Washington School baseball field Wednesday night, as they routed Pate Junior 19-4 in a game that lasted seven innings under the mercy rule. The team collected 26 hits, five of them by VanZant. Ford and McNamara each had four blows, as the middle of the Mount Vernon batting order accounted for half the team’s hits. Reeves and Bryce Newman each had three hits, while Newman scattered four hits
and fanned five enroute to the win. Pate scored three runs in the bottom of the first, due in part to a mishandled bunt, before the Mount Vernon bats went to work. Mount Venron started the week by pummeling the visiting Carmi Senior legion team 14-2 in seven innings Tuesday night. A pair of hard-hit “at ‘em” balls may have taken the wind out of the Illinoisans’ sails in the top of the first, according to McNamara. “The came ready to play,” said. “Carmi hit a couple of balls right on the nose right at people and didn’t get anything going. I think they kind of gave up after that. We hit a couple on the nose and scored a couple of runs and then went from there.” Post Five went from there to pound away at Carmi with two runs in the bottom of the first, then following that up with a seven-run second inning. Veeck shut out Carmi for four innings before Dausmann finished up, holding the Illinoisans in check, except for the top of the sixth inning, when Brody Brown singled and Nick Borders belted a two-run homer for Post 225’s only runs of the game. Mount Venron all but finished the game early with a five-run fourth inning. Aaron Roberts and Jevin Redman started things off with singles, then Ford tripled in two runs. An error and two walks loaded the bases and brought in Ford, then a fielder’s choice and a two-run single by VanZant scored the last two runs. “They were swinging at good pitches,” McNamara said. “I got a compliment from the umpire, who said ‘your kids are a good bunch of hitters and they’re a good group of hitters.’” Newman, VanZant, Roberts, McNamara, Redman and Reeves each had two hits on the night. Mount Vernon just missed winning the game in five innings under the mercy rule (a 15-run gap), but that just gave the coach a chance to get all 15 players on the roster into the game.

Poseyville U-14 team wins title “I told you we were going to win and that’s what we did.” Coach Steve Bullington said that the Poseyville Two U-14 competitive softball team was going to win its Rural Girls’ “A” Division tournament and that’s just what it did, rocking Newburgh 14-8 Thursday night to claim the title at the North Posey High School softball field. They played awesome,” Bullington said. “They pretty much did all of it. Pitching, hitting, defense, they played a good game.” Baseruning was a big plus, as Poseyville took advantage of Newburgh’s misplays and overthrows, especially in pulling away after Newburgh twice pulled to within a run. “They were playing heads up,” Bullington said. “They had their minds set and that’s what did it.” Bullington expected a close game and his Champions from New Harmony are Mackenzie Atkins, Joanie Spillane, Taylor Baize, team was prepared for it. “No matter who you play, especially in a Becca Hunter, and Jordyn Miller.

team . “Most all of them are first-year players,” Bullington said. “So, if they’ll all come back, we’ll do it again. They’re a great bunch to coach and great parents, sportsmanship…it’s a fun group.” Assistant coach Ken Bailey called this season the best for Poseyville Two, adding that they had never won the tournament in their first year at that age group, adding that after taking the U-12 “A” Division crown in 2010, they came back to take the U-12 title this season. This group was in the “E” tournament their first year and jumped to the “A” Division the second year, winning that tourney. They won “A” and “B” titles in their next two years, both in U-12. Poseyville Two jumped out with two wins in the tourney, beating Newburgh 11-1 and Boonville 11-4. Maddie Feldrake and Aubrey Cummings have been doing most of the pitching for this year’s squad. The rest of the team consists of Miranda Johnson, Jacie Bullington, Hope Craft, Rhian Bailey, Stephanie Feldrake, Jessica Morrical, Paige Johnson, Bobbie Johnson and Kari Hoenhert. The other coaches included Rick Rausch, Scott Feldrake and Jason Cummings. One of the other teams in the tournament had a local connection, as Jessie Rice, the daughter of Melissa Barrett and the late Greg Barrett of Poseyville, played for McCutchanville. Rice dedicated this season to her late farther, who came to most of her games prior to his death in 2010.
Owensville surprises Babe Ruth league By Steve Joos Owensville just got a few more hits when they needed them. That sums up the championship game of the South Gibson Babe Ruth baseball league’s tournament. St. Wendel took a lead, fell behind, rallied to reclaim the lead, rallied again to send it into extras innings, but couldn’t get enough of the clutch hits and wound up on the short end of an 9-5 decision to Owensville Friday night in Haubstadt. Brooks Martin belted a three-run homer with nobody out in the top of the eighth inning to break open a 5-5 tie and send St. Wendel down after the Posey County team rallied with two out in the bottom of the seventh to tie the contest. So, coach Danny Embrey, would another five runs have made the night go better? “Five more runs or if we’d come up with another big hit in the last inning or so,” Embrey said. “A couple of baseruning mistakes, we had runners on, we hit the ball on the nose and they made the plays and we didn’t.” The offensive hero for Owensville also started for them on the mound and Martin gave St. Wendel trouble with his breaking ball over six innings, Embrey said, adding that St. Wendel hit the ball well, but those hits weren’t falling in. And they weren’t able to keep Owensville in check as well as they were being stymied. St. Wendel scored two runs in the bottom of the first and held on until Owensville tied the game in the fourth. The Gibson County team went up 3-2 in the top of the fifth, but back came St. Wendel, plating two runs in the bottom of the inning for a 4-3 advantage which lasted long enough for Owensville to score two runs in the top of the sixth. Blake Wildeman had two hits against Owensville, while Luke Schapker, Derek Lindauer, Damon Cardin and Eric O’Risky each had a hit. St. Wendel reached the championship game by outslugging the Haubstadt Merchants Tuesday night 11-10 and then upsetting North Posey Black Thursday, 16-8. “In the first game, we battled back, we had a great game against Merchants,” Embrey said. “We squeezed in the winning run in the top of the seventh. Blake Wildeman threw a good game, Drew Cumbee came in relief. We only struck out a few times, we executed just great on the hit and run.” The bats came to life against Black, as the two teams went back and forth, with St. Wendel taking a 4-2 lead, then falling behind 8-4 before exploding for 10 runs in the fifith inning. “Everyone hit the ball well,” Embrey said. “We
came out ready to play and finally got Black once this year.” Three home runs highlighted St. Wendel’s big inning, as Thomas Steagall belted a three-run shot to put them up 9-8. Schapker added another three-run dinger and Wildeman followed him with a solo shot as St. Wendel had back-to-back jacks in the fifth. “Our guys have gotten so much better,” Embrey said. “They’ve learned over the course of the season and it’s paid off.” Wildeman had two hits including his homer against Black, while Lindauer, Cumbee and Cardin each had hits. Josh Elpers and O’Risky each had two hits, with O’Risky collecting a double. Schapker doubled twice, while Wildeman had three blows against Merchants. Cardin and Lindauer each doubled, while Martin, Steagall and Cumbee each singled. Elpers also had two hits. Embrey thanked the athletic club at St. Wendel for their help and thanked his assistants, Gene Wildeman and Tim Lindauer, for their assistance over the course of the season. There was good news and bad news for the county Wednesday night. Black blanked Princeton White 4-0 to provide the good news. The bad news? Red was upended by the
Haubstadt Legion 1-0. Black got good pitching, good defense and a break or two offensively en route to their win. “We got a couple of breaks tonight,” Word said. “It seemed like we were in a situation in every inning tonight where we had a chance to just open the game up and we couldn’t do it. We’d swing for the knockout punch and we couldn’t do it.” Black committed just one error and had shutout pitching. Do that and a team will win a few games, the coach added, especially at the Babe Ruth level. Word was actually a bit relieved that the team showed it could win with pitching and defense after a season where they relied heavily on the bats. Black has had the same infield all season and that helped. Christian Jones started and made Princeton White hit his pitch, while Taylor Brown gave the team three good innings in relief. Blake Marshall doubled and scored a run, while Jones and Griffin Wiethrop each had two hits. Austin Graves converted a bunt into a hit and scored Black’s second run of the night, as the North Posey team manufactured runs in the first two innings and then added a single tally in both the fourth and sixth frames. The tournament was pushed back due to rain the previous weekend.

OPINION
When common sense eludes, laws kick in for people to save themselves Has common sense simply taken a short hiatus or has it left us completely? The “no texting while driving” law took effect in IndiTRUTH... ana this week. Would someTRANGER S one please explain to me why T HAN this had to become a law? F ICTION Does this not simply defy all logic? Why does it have to be BY DAVE a law to help someone keep PEARCE themselves alive? Don’t text while driving is somewhat akin to “don’t use a chainsaw while blindfolded.” Is common sense completely a thing of the past? But as I recant the seemingly silliness of the law, I can begin to see the light. After all, it has taken us many, many years and thousands of lives to begin to determine that drinking and driving at the same time was not a good idea. That, too, had to become a law enforced with major punishments. I can remember a few years ago when a woman actually won a lawsuit against McDonald’s because she choose to put scald-
ing coffee between her knees to hold while she was trying to drive. She said she did not realize the coffee was hot. Excuse me…but that sounds a little bogus to me. But the lady is several million richer now for her burns. And fast food chains are forced to put labels on hot drinks. Go figure. Because of that, there are many more forms that must be signed whenever delivery is taken on a vehicle or when appliances are installed. People who have chosen to try and find a way to beat the system have woven a mass of red tape for all of us that we will have from now on. I was recently injured in an automobile accident. A careless driver decided not to stop at a stop sign and slammed into my car at an intersection in Evansville. It was amazing that there were five people in her car and only one in mine. But by the time we could call 911 and get the police there, only two people were left to take the heat for the rest from the
vehicle that ran into the side of mine. I was dazed for a few moments following the accident. I could not get out of the car on the driver’s side because there was a car rammed into the driver’s side of mine. But as I began to answer questions from the officers who responded, I pointed out that there were five and then only two. What had happened? Fortunately for me, there was a Burger King on the corner and several witnesses had seen what had happened. They had seen the three in the back seat make a run for it as soon as the accident happened. When the young lady was questioned about the additional people, she suddenly needed medical attention and could not answer questions. Only minutes before that, she had been fine and standing on the corner talking to her mother on a cell phone. The young lady was ticketed and her mother made no bones about telling the young lady that she had done wrong. I’m guessing this also played a part in the decision to seek immediate medical attention. Despite being a little shaken up and my wrist hurting a little, I did not seek medical
attention at that time. I did, however, report the hurting, swollen wrist to personnel at the time and reserved the right to seek medical attention if it was needed at a later time. Well, I’m not sure how they got hold of it but apparently, information that I might have been injured in an automobile accident spread like wildfire among the legal community. During the following few days, I received packet after elaborate packet through the mail from law firms all over the place offering to represent me to make them pay for the injuries. You wouldn’t believe the offers I received and the packaging they came in. Someone spent a lot of money to put those packets together. But I suppose we all have to make a living somehow. And although my wrist still hurts, it’s not something that a few thousand dollars wouldn’t help. But then I would have to deal with a guilty conscience. And that would be even worse and no amount of money can settle that claim. I’ll just live with the minor pain, instead of becoming a major one!
Homecoming is heartwarming
Guest Editorial Summer vacation is in its prime, which means it’s once again time for kids to bring out the old folding table, grab some lemons and ice and start perfecting the classic recipe for lemonade. For decades, kids have participated in the American tradition of opening a lemonade stand in the summer months, allowing them to hone their entrepreneurial skills and hopefully turn a profit. As I have been driving around our community seeing kids run lemonade stands, I am struck by two things: One, the price of a cup of lemonade has increased since I was in my front yard selling, and two, that many kids are not raising money to go buy ice-cream later, but rather raising money for charity. Many lessons are learned when operating a lemonade stand. These operations are the training ground for the business world; in essence, these kids are running micro-businesses. Managing a lemonade stand teaches an array of skills ranging from organization to perseverance to learning the necessity of hard work in being successful. An extra lesson is being learned by those children who open their stands to donate the proceeds to charity; they are learning the joy of giving back, which is exactly what a few children were doing in Bethesda, Md. On private property, a friend’s yard, these kids opened a stand to raise money for pediatric cancer. This front yard did, however, happen to be across from the Congressional Country Club, the site of this year’s U.S. Open. Let me highlight, these kids were not greedy capitalists, but rather kids selling lemonade to give to charity. Unfortunately on their first day, the stand was cited and operations shut down. What was the problem you ask, with kids wanting to raise money for other children fighting cancer? What these kids did not take into consideration was the law that required them to register their lemonade stand with the county. In the defense of the officials, the stand was located in a high traffic area and could have created a traffic hazard. Upon reconsideration by local officials, I am pleased to
By Wendy McNamara report that a resolution was reached and the stand reopened allowing the kids to continue on with their entrepreneurial/charitable project. Luckily, in our community no lemonade stands are being shut down, which is good because a few Fridays ago the Easter Seals’ kids held their 16th annual LemonAid Stand to raise money for the center that many of them have attended for years. It is inspiring to see these kids, who have faced many challenges in their young lives, want to give back. The Easter Seals Rehabilitation Center is a wonderful center that provides needed care to many children. This year’s LemonAid Stand was yet again a booming success. Congrats to all the Easter Seals children for their hard work and to those in our community who came out to support their cause. It is important to encourage creativity and to the foster a child’s entrepreneurial spirit. By allowing kids to open lemonade stands or create mini businesses, we cultivate the inventors and leaders of tomorrow. This session, legislation was authored which creates a young entrepreneur program. The goal of the program is to promote the business proposals of students graduating from entrepreneurship programs across the state. Through the program, at least one preview would be held each year to allow communities to bid for the opportunity to bring a young entrepreneur’s business to their community. One of the key benefits of this program is that it enables us to keep our most promising young entrepreneurs here in our state by developing their ideas and implementing them into our communities. Encouraging a young child to open a lemonade stand and to try out their business savvy is a great way for them to expand their skill set, and what better time to learn a few diverse skills than in the summer? You just never know when you buy that cup of lemonade what that budding entrepreneur might go on to create, it might even be a business developed in your community.
As a reporter, I receive the thankless job of covering several local government meetings in our county. Although I still vote (usually a mixed-party ticket, I might add), I hate politics, and attending local government FOR THE meetings does little to inspire RECORD me. On occasion, though, an announcement melts my BY PAM jaded heart, and I am enROBINSON couraged about the good of humanity, particularly in our small town. Such news came at this past Thursday’s Board of Works meeting in Mount Vernon. A member of the audience expressed her gratitude for official support of the motorcycle brigade to welcome home “a soldier” on Saturday, July 2: 20-year-old Jason Saum, who served in Afghanistan. As I gathered more information about the young hero, I was directed to his parents, Thomas and Judy Saum, of Mount Vernon. In spite of the anticipation and preparation for the homecoming, Thomas Saum still took a phone call from me and answered my questions patiently about his son. Born in Alabama, Jason Saum grew up in Mount Vernon when his parents moved back to his mother’s hometown. After graduating from Mount Vernon High School in 2009, he joined the U.S. Navy and spent 10 months in Afghanistan on his first deployment. Following a short homecoming of 13 days, he will remain stateside for some time at a naval base near San Diego. He now bears the title Gunner Mate Second Class, or GM 2C, and the distinction of being a trained Navy Seabee, part of the armory guard responsible for inspecting and issuing weapons to military comrades. He has served, and continues to
Letter to the Editor Resident responds to letter regarding their graduation event Editor’s Note: This letter is in response to an incident that occurred in New Harmony and a letter to the editor. Greetings Mr. Nesler, I usually don’t acknowledge negativity, but this hit close to home. You claim fairness and righteousness, so here’s our take on your postings and opinion on the “Unholy Racket” that took place during your precious event on June 18, 2011. Hope you didn’t spill your tea. Apparently the pen is mightier than the sword, so to speak. Your little rants about the “Unholiness” is totally absurd, sir. The unholiness you spoke of and apparently brag that you had shut down by the Posey County Sheriffs is more of the same lies that fly off your tongue for the town
Gavel Gamut’s ♫YOU SAY YOU WANT A REVOLUTION♫ Thomas Jefferson was a revolution- against their government should probary. He and our other Founding Fathers ably occur about every twenty years. I expected to either win their freedom interpret his remarks to mean the threat from King George and Great Britain or of a violent overthrow, not necessarily to be hanged for treason. an armed conflict, In fact, one of the rallying was paramount to GAVEL cries in 1776 was, “We maintaining liberty. must all hang together or GAMUT On the other hand, we will surely be hanged Jefferson wrote it separately.” (Benjamin BY JUDGE was preferable to JIM REDWINE Franklin) have people meet Jefferson believed the and vote to modify cause of freedom required the Constitution than the death of both revolutionaries and to attempt to do it by military might. corrupt people in power.

Perhaps the Beatles were just as influenced by Americans as we were by the Beatles. Or maybe on the anniversary of July 4, 1776, we can view our Founding Fathers as more hip than some of us previously thought.

serve, his country well. Jason Saum’s return home couldn’t have happened at a more appropriate time than during the Fourth of July holidays. It’s a weekend of heightened awareness of and appreciation for our military, who sacrifice their comfort, and often their lives, so we fellow Americans may live in freedom and prosperity. No one can ever take away the honor and respect Jason Saum has earned in serving his country. At the same time, honor and respect are due to those who participated in the homecoming parade down Mount Vernon’s Main Street. Before Saum arrived, several stores, including McKim’s IGA right on the parade route, had changed their marquees to read, “Welcome Home, Jason Saum.” The Mount Vernon Fire Department raised Old Glory high on the extended ladder of one fire truck while another fire truck along with city police and sheriff’s cruisers led the motorcycle brigade that cleared a path for the car containing Jason Saum. All the while, the American Legion Honor Guard stood at attention and saluted Saum as he drove by the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument at the court house. About fifty people lined the sidewalks to cheer and wave flags as well as welcome signs, for a parade needs observers to make it meaningful. As I snapped photos, I felt a lump form in my throat. I don’t know Jason Saum and his family. I like to think, though, that they are as proud of this community as they are of the gunner mate’s military duty. Not only do the people of Mount Vernon honor God and country, they also love their neighbors as themselves.

you claim to represent. That “Unholy Racket” you spoke of was our daughter’s graduation party that was scheduled way in advance. Sorry if it caused you and your guest discomfort. We had family, neighbors and friends from all around come to attend this event to celebrate this milestone in our daughter’s life. (Who will never step foot or spend hard-earned money in YOUR town again.) Jane Owen herself, rest her soul, would’ve came to honor our daughter. We are so very proud of her Academic Honors as are her family, friends, neighbors and the awesome school. She wished to celebrate this event with the very folks that influenced her achievements in the town that she is so proud of. Mr. Nesler, if you must gossip and play the “Big Shot,” you may want to get the facts straight first. First and foremost, the Sheriffs never showed, and the party was NEVER shut down as you claimed. We did speak with a Marshall and closed the back and side doors to try and help, which we didn’t have to do. Very nice gentleman, I might add. Second, no one ever came to me or my wife to voice concerns about the “Racket” as you called it. These two bands that played were trying, out of respect for the town, to keep things down, but as you may or may not know, the Old Gym has no soundproofing. Therefore, if there was to be a problem with the bands playing, we should have been informed. We could have changed the date or held the party elsewhere. You want to talk unholiness, one of the bands

playing was a local christian rock band, and yes, they were loud, but the kids and most adults loved them. We had townsfolk and tourists coming in uninvited off the streets, and we offered the sodas and music to their delight. We’re talking kids, teens, parents and grandparents, all had a great time. Yes, the music was loud, but we paid for the rent. bands, and everyone knew what was taking place. I’m sure you will voice your opinions and probably succeed in no more bands playing there, or as you say, “Unholiness” I’m sure if it meets your taste of music it will be allowed. The main fact was we had until 8 p.m., the bands played until 7:59 p.m. The place, street and all around was spotless when we left. YOU, sir, never had it shut down, but you keep singing your praises, and I hope you take pride in spewing the dirty laundry coming from that hole in your mouth. The Golden Family roots, provided and helped entertain New Harmony long before you or myself were even thought of. Maybe that was looked at as “Unholy” also. In closing, you didn’t ruin my daughter’s special day, and we apologized for the ignorance of the police being called to everyone. Which everyone thought was “A Hoot”. Please take time in the future to gather the facts. Maybe even speak and compromise, and if you’re going to represent our fine town, keep an open mind for our kids and townsfolk...

Lena Feiner puts spotlight on others to enrich area
Lena Feiner is celebrating her tenth anniversary of showcasing the art of women and enlightened men in this region at her Women’s Institute and Gallery, located at 916 E. Granary in New Harmony. Generous with her knowledge and hospitality, she has thus created a haven for women wanting to maintain cultural literacy. Native to Spring Green, Wisconsin, a town that legend says women named, Feiner grew up on a dairy farm. She was one of nine children—seven girls and two boys, all still living—born to Herman and Celia Feiner. Interspersed with the hard work was her parents’ attention to the arts. A pianist, her mother filled the home with music. Both parents provided magazines and books for the family. As a student at Alverno College, a women’s college in Milwaukee, Feiner earned
her degree in history, later adding a master’s degree in both library science and organizational management. After starting her career in Washington, D.C., with the U.S. Information Agency, she fed her interest for books, art and especially the humanities. She spent two and a half years in Germany as a librarian at the University of Maryland in Munich, which educated primarily children of American military and embassy personnel. Leaving there, she touched down briefly in D.C. again before settling in Chicago for a number of years. While in Chicago, she coordinated serials activities for the four Loyola University campuses along with being women’s studies bibliographer at one of the first universities in the nation to offer a women’s studies program. She also served as a consultant for Illinois’ DuPage Library System and as a contract administrator at Wabash National Finance
Corporation. a trained Jungian and enjoys the During this time, she was monthly meeting of her Jungian awarded a ten-week course of study at Indiana University in Bloomington. While there, she made her first trip to New Harmony on a June afternoon, immediately liking aspects of the town and hoping to return there someday, perhaps in retirement. As well as hosting art exhibits, she maintains a free lending library for members of her Women’s Institute and Gallery. By popular demand, she hosts a centering prayer group the first Saturday of every month at 8 a.m. The group is a continuation of Fr. Earl Rohleder’s centering prayer group, started when he was pastor at Holy Angels Church in New Harmony. In addition, she volunteers as a docent at the labyrinth. Feiner is a parishioner and Eucharistic minister at Holy Angels Church. She is also Eucharistic Minister Lena Feiner

Singer with Posey ties to highlight fair By Holly Heerdink On any given weekday from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m., people can hear the distinct southern twang of Jaclyn Graves’s voice as she talks about country music and introduces the latest hits. But the WBKR radio personality does much more than listen to and enjoy music: she also creates it, and this year, Posey County residents can enjoy her performance at the Posey County Fair’s Jam3 Music Fest. Graves said her interest in music began at a young age, and she can’t remember a time when music wasn’t a part of her life. “I’ve been singing probably since I was six years old, and the first time, of course, was in church. Really, ever since then, it just becomes a part of who you are. In some ways, I guess it’s a little bit bigger stage,” she said during a phone interview. Since her church beginnings, Graves and her band have opened for big names in country music including Rodney Atkins, Montgomery Gentry, Kellie Pickler, Gary Allan, Jamey Johnson, Phil Vassar, Eric Church and Justin Moore, among others. She described her experience with these stars as somewhat overwhelming. “You see these artists, and they are doing every day what you want to do. We’ve put our time in. We play the smoky bars, and we play all over the place, so to get up there on that big stage is amazing,” Graves said. Although the rush of performing before major coun-

It’s Andrew “Boots” DeKemper, John Rinier, Benom Plum, Jaclyn Graves, Katie Beste, Kyle Beard, and Easton Bryant. try artists can be overpowering, Graves said her band gives her confidence during these shows, and she knows her band can hold its own. One of her band members, Katie Beste, is a native of Posey County. “It’s so funny because every time we play a show, it doesn’t matter where we are, whenever it’s time for me to announce Katie I say, ‘From Mount Vernon, Indiana, Miss Posey County 2005, Katie Beste.’ So I am excited to be able to say that at the Posey County fair,” Graves said. Graves said she would love for her band to perform country music for a living. But as for now, Graves and her band are working regular jobs and playing on the
weekends. She said she loves her job with WBKR, but it can be difficult to do both. “It is hard because all of us, we would love to play Thursday, Friday and Saturday night of every week. You just can’t do that when you have a real job. But at the same time, you kind of have to find that balance between what you have to do and what you want to do,” she said. Graves said fairgoers should expect a fun show full of popular country songs and tunes you can dance to. But the band also has some original songs in store. “I do a lot of original music that was co-written by some friends of mine. It’s really special to do those songs
because they’re like your babies. You read the words for it, then you put the music to it, and they really come alive whenever you put the band with it,” Graves said. The Posey Jam3 Music Fest will be Friday, July 15, at 7:30 p.m. Until then, readers can hear Graves on 92.5 WBKR.

Rousing Rookies prepare for the 4-H Fair By Holly Heerdink Russell Roehr and Megan Weinzapfel are no strangers to 4-H and the Posey County Fair. In fact, both leaders of the Rousing Rookies group
began 4-H when they were children, and they were 10-year members of the organization. Between the two, they have 24 years of experience as leaders, sev-
eral Share the Fun titles and many great memories. “There’s nothing more exciting to me as a leader than to see the kids blossom, and flourish and grow,”
Weinzapfel said following a meeting on Wednesday, June 8. She and Roehr agreed 4-H gives kids the opportunity to do just that. Participants
can discover their strengths while completing projects, perform on stage during the annual Share the Fun competition and serve their club as an elected officer. Mem-
bers can also volunteer with events like fair clean-up and local food drives. “The big misconception is that it’s just for farm kids, and it’s not just for farm kids,” Weinzapfel said. “There’s something for everyone.” A typical meeting for the Rousing Rookies includes new and old business, preparations for the fair, speeches and demonstrations, recreation and snacks. At the June 8 meeting, members Amy Priest and Michael Klenck gave demonstrations. Priest showed the club how to create peanut butter pie, and Klenck explained the process of showing pigs at the fair. Each member is encouraged to deliver a speech or demonstration every year, and Roehr said it is interesting to see how the kids change over time. “I’ve been a leader long enough that I’ve watched kids start out in third grade and go all the way through high school,” Roehr said. “What they get excited about when they’re smaller versus what they get excited about when they’re a senior; it’s neat to watch that progression.” Although Roehr and Weinzapfel said they have too many great memories to recall, each has some that stand out in their minds. Roher enjoyed the scavenger hunts, dances and games from 4-H camp. But he laughed when he remembered a few mornings before breakfast. “Well, every once in a while from the night before, you weren’t supposed to do it, but somebody’s underwear would end up on the flagpole.” One of Weinzapfel’s favorite memories was from last year’s fair. Olivia Eisterhold, a 10-year 4-H member, had her last goaround in the show ring, and her calf was bringing in high bids. “It got up to 16 hundred dollars,” Weinzapfel said. “She was standing in the show ring, and she was crying, and this calf was just licking her up and down. People that knew her were crying because they knew it was her favorite project, and that it was her last year. That was just a really great memory for me and for her.” Roehr and Weinzapfel encourage kids to get involved with 4-H, regardless of financial situations. They said it is a great opportunity to become a well-rounded person. “It’s truly an equal opportunity program because right now it is funded mostly by our tax dollars,” Roehr said. “All of the manuals and books are free to the kids. Even for someone who doesn’t have a lot of disposable income, they can actually become a very active 4-H member.”

Cost of a cookout back on the rise Prices for foods favored at summer cookouts and picnics have risen from last year, according to an informal survey of food prices conducted by Indiana Farm Bureau volunteers, but they remain well below the average total recorded in 2009. This is the third year IFB has supplemented its regular quarterly informal “market-basket” survey with a special survey geared toward those summer cookout and picnic foods. Like the quarterly surveys, the cookout market basket isn’t a true survey but is instead a snapshot of grocery prices throughout the state. Indiana is one of only a few state Farm Bureaus that are doing a cookout market basket, said Isabella Chism, IFB 2nd vice president and chair of the Indiana Women’s Leadership Committee, which is in charge of the market-basket survey program. The cookout market basket includes enough food to feed 10 people. Items include prepared potato salad, ground round, hot dogs, baked beans, condiments, American cheese, hamburger and hotdog buns, cola and potato chips. For 2011, the market basket survey’s average total for these 11 items was $32.45 (or about $3.25 per person), up $1.60 from the 2010 total, but down $2.27 from the 2009 total. Totals from the individual shoppers ranged as low as $19.26 and as high as $36.77 for the 11 items. Nine of the 11 items included on the survey increased in price since last year’s survey. The item that contributed the most to the overall increase was 2 pounds of ground round, which increased by 58 cents (29 cents/pound) for a total of $6.80. Also showing increases were a 10-pack of hotdogs, which rose by 32 cents to $2.42; prepared potato salad, up by 25 cents to $5.02 for a 3-pound container; two bags of potato chips, which increased by 22 cents (11 cents per bag) for a total of $5.38; two 2-liter bottles of cola, which rose by 16 cents to $2.76 for the two bottles; a 28-ounce can of baked beans, up 16 cents to $2.10; and hotdog buns, up 8 cents to $1.38 for an 8-count bag; hamburger, up 7 cents to $1.35 for an 8-count bag; an 8-ounce jar of mustard, which rose by 8 cents to $1.34. Two items on the survey showed decreases: a 10-pack of hotdogs dropped 32 cents to $2.42; a 24-ounce bottle of ketchup dropped 22 cents to $1.28; and a 16-slice pack of American cheese dropped 4 cents to $2.62 Chism said that she hopes consumers will consider augmenting their standard cookout menus with fresh products from local farmers. “Now’s a good time to look into locally produced foods,” she said. “Farmers markets around the state are now open for business and very soon fresh produce will be at its peak.” To find a farmer in your area who offers homegrown produce, meats and other products, visit the Indiana Department of Agriculture’s interactive online directory, www.in.gov/apps/ ISDA_FarmersMarket/.

Eligibility: Youth may become 4-H members when they enter Grade 3 and may continue as a member through Grade 12, regardless of age, with a maximum of 10 years of participation. Grade requirement is based on the 4-H member’s grade level in the spring of the current year. 2.All 4-H Exhibits displayed in the Exhibit Building must be entered between 2:00 & 4:00 p.m. on the Sunday prior to Fair Week. See “4-H General Animal Rules” for specific times that animals are entered. 3. It is the responsibility of each exhibitor to see that each exhibit is properly registered. 4.Ribbons & premiums will be awarded only to those 4- H’ers who do not have the opportunity to sell their animal(s) at the 4-H auction (beef, dairy, meat goat, sheep, & swine).Premium awards are as follows: PURPLE - Champion Group............$4.00 BLUE - First Group.......................... $3.00 RED - Second Group ...................... $2.00 WHITE - Third Group ...................... $ 1.00 GREEN - Participation, did not fulfill exhibit requirements ................... $0.00 A single entry in a class must be in the blue ribbon group to be eligible for a champion. Grand Champion & Reserve Grand Champion rosettes as well as champion & reserve champion ribbons are awarded at the discretion of the judges. All exhibits receiving a Grand or Reserve Grand Champion award must be in the champion or reserve champion ribbon group. 5. With the exception of the Arts & Crafts, Beef, Photography, & Swine projects, each 4-H member is limited to one entry in each project or exhibit class. For allowed deviations, see specific project guidelines. Members are encouraged to begin at the age-appropriate level. If a 4-H’er enrolls at a higher division, he/she may not enroll in a lower division in future years. 6.4-H Exhibit Building projects are to be removed from the Fairgrounds 6:00-8:00 p.m. on Friday of Fair Week. Projects removed prior to 6:00 p.m. will forfeit any and all awards as well as recognition of project completion and premium monies. Clean-up of the 4-H Exhibit Building begins at 8:00 p.m. on Friday. Projects left
after 8:30 p.m. will be discarded. 7. Livestock exhibitors must furnish their own bedding. Bedding may not be used in the Hog Barn. All fans must be totally enclosed. 8.Decisions of the judges are final. 9. General Poster Requirements: All Poster Exhibits MUST be displayed horizontally, mounted on 22" x 28" plywood or other stiff material, & covered with a clear plastic or transparent material to protect the exhibit. Any color poster board is acceptable. A label no larger than 3” tall x 4” wide & consisting of Name, Project Division, & Club Name must be placed in lower right hand corner of poster. OPTIONAL: Exhibits may be labeled on back/underside with year & owner’s name. 10. Exhibits not meeting basic minimum requirements as stated in this handbook will receive a green ribbon. 11. All projects will be judged by the exhibit requirements in this handbook, which is subject to changes made by State Fair Officials & the local Board of Directors of the 4-H Council. 12. All 4-H projects will be judged according to the appropriate division, class or grade categories: CLOVER JUNIOR SENIOR Grades 3, 4, 5 Grades 6, 7, 8 Grades 9, 10, 11, 12 13. Each 4-H Club is assigned one day to clean an area of the fairgrounds during the 4-H Fair. All 4-H’ers are expected to help clean the fairgrounds on the Saturday before the 4-H Fair. Livestock members are also responsible for cleaning the barns & animal pens. Pen assignments for all animal exhibits will be determined by the Animal Project Superintendents at 8:00 a.m. on the Saturday before the 4-H Fair. 14. No more than 2 adults (21 years of age or older) are allowed to stay in the horse barn each night. Only 2 adults (21 years of age or older) are allowed to stay in the other barns combined.

its selected for State Fair exhibit must be taken to the State Fair by the exhibitor. 16. All grievances must be signed and submitted in writing to the 4-H Council by 8:00 p.m. Friday of Fair Week. The Grievance Committee of the 4-H Council will meet as needed to review all grievances. 17. Alternative project requirements can be made for4-H members with special needs. Contact the Extension Office for more information. 18. 4-H Action Demonstration: An Action Demonstration isn’t like a regular demonstration where the audience sits and listens to you. Instead, you may be in a shopping mall, store, 4-H Fair building, or anywhere the public is nearby. Your job is to interest people in your topic so that they will want to stop and listen to what you have to say. Another difference between an Action Demonstration and a regular demonstration is that you need to involve your audience. You may want them to talk with you, try to do what you’re doing, sample something you’re making, judge something, or play a game. A time & place is set prior to the 4-H Fair for all Action Demonstrations. They will be critiqued, not judged and all automatically advance to State Fair; therefore, ribbon and placings will not be awarded. 19. All manuals that are required with an exhibit must be presented at Project CheckIn. 20. 4-H exhibits may not be re-exhibited. If any 4-H exhibit is reused, the 4-H’er will be considered incomplete for that exhibit. 4-H Council reserves the right to photograph any project for their records. 21. Premium money envelopes will be distributed 6:00- 8:00 p.m. on Friday of Fair Week. You MUST arrange for someone to pick up your premium money at this time, or you will forfeit your winnings. 22. Posey County 4-H Drop/Add Policy: All changes in 4-H enrollment, including dropping & adding of projects, must be completed in writing by June 1 of the current year. ALL CHANGES must be signed & dated by the 4-H member & his/her legal guardian. No changes will be accepted over the phone. All project materials must be returned to the Extension Office or paid for by the 4-H member by June 1 of the current year in order for a project to be considered
“dropped” & not count against the 4-H member as an Incomplete for the year. 4-H Council upholds State Fair entry deadlines for all 4-H animal projects. This means a 4-H member will need to complete paperwork for dropping or adding any animal project on or before May 15. The exception is the beef steer project, which has a State Fair entry deadline of April 1. Paperwork for this project must be complete & on file with the Extension Office by April 1 of the current year. 23. Community Judging Policy: No persons are allowed to sit with a 4-H exhibitor during Community Judging. 24. Food Safety Rule for Foods Entered into County and Statewide Competitions (2001): For baked product competitions: “Filling, frosting, glazing, pie filling, and meringue whether uncooked or cooked are not permitted to contain cream cheese, whipped cream, unpasteurized milk or eggs/egg whites (pasteurized eggs or eggs cooked to 160oF may be used). No home-canned fruits, vegetables, or meats are permitted in products. Recipes must be provided that show which ingredients were used in each part of the product. Contestants should carefully wash their hands and make sure that their hands do not have any open cuts before preparing foods. Contestants should not prepare ready-to-eat foods to be entered into competition if they are ill with vomiting, diarrhea, fever, sore throat or jaundice. Whenever possible, baked products should be transported and stored in chilled coolers (41oF). Judges and individuals consuming products from county and state competitions should be informed that they’re at risk for food borne illness since the established policy cannot guarantee that an entry which is a ‘potentially hazardous food’ has been properly prepared or handled before, during or following the competition.” 25. Posey County 4-H Enrollment Policy: Completed enrollment forms are due to the Extension Office on or before May 1 of the current year. Any youth enrolling in the Posey County 4-H program after May 1 may complete the 4-H year but may NOT exhibit at the current year’s Posey County 4-H Fair.
