By Dave Pearce The Posey County Commissioners continued to move ahead with the tentative plan to add a fourth ambulance in Posey County during Tuesday morning’s meeting.

Posey County EMS director Chuck Thompson was urged to move forward, pending the Posey County Council’s ultimate decision, on purchasing a gas engine Ford E-450 ambulance.

The Council is slated to meet this morning (Tuesday) and is expected to render a decision as to where funding for such an expenditure would come from at the mid-point of the year.

A public hearing was held on the matter on March 29 at the Posey County Fairgrounds and a nearly full house overwhelmingly supported the addition of the fourth ambulance with many stating it did not matter if it meant a small tax increase.

Ultimately, the decision will be made by the Council as to whether or not they feel they can find funding for the project, expected to cost an additional $500,000 in the first year and around $300,000 each year forward.

In other business: •Area Plan Commission representative Mindy Bourne reported

that the office is finished with flood damage assessments. She stated that officials are meeting with individuals to decide whether they are going back to rebuild or are going to leave the area that was flooded. *Posey County EMA Director Larry Robb reported that 70 or more homes were destroyed during the flooding and that another 120 sustained damage or were affected by the flooding. Those numbers are further complicated by a pair of spring storms involving high winds that ripped through the same areas just days before the flooding became a problem. Many homes were affected by the storms or by

Jillian Koester, 2011 recipient of the Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award, is congratulated by Michelle Hudson, chairperson of the award selection committee.

Koester is winner of Baier Spirit Award Jillian Nicole Koester, a student at North Posey High School, has been selected as the recipient of the Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award for 2011. The Award, in the amount of $500, is given annually to a high school junior who resides in Posey County and who is involved in community activities in Posey County.

The Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award was created in September 2007 in honor of Elizabeth D. Baier’s 25th Anniversary as Executive Director of the United Way of Posey County. Michelle Hudson, chairperson of the selection committee, said, “The United Way of Posey County wanted to recognize Elizabeth for her service to the United Way, but we also wanted to honor her for her many years of leadership, community involvement, and volunteer services to Posey County. An award recognizing exemplary volunteerism by young people had been a dream of Elizabeth’s for many years, so the creation of the Youth Spirit Award in her name seemed to be the perfect way to honor her.”

Jillian is the daughter of David and Melissa Koester

of Wadesville, and is involved in many school, church and community activities, including Big Brothers/Big Sisters, 4-H, Banking for the Cure, and Knights of St. John. She is a leader in her church’s bible school program and helps at the community church social.

She is a member and co-captain of her school’s cross country team. Jillian believes that her participation in her school’s PEERS program is especially fulfilling. Through the PEERS program, she and other high school students talk to junior high school students about drugs, alcohol and sex. She said, “As a volunteer for this program, I provide support to teens to help them understand the impact their decisions have on themselves and others.”

The Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award will be presented to Jillian at the United Way of Posey County Leadership Giving Recognition Dinner on August 30, 2011. For more information regarding the Award or the United Way’s Leadership Giving Program, please call 838-3637 or email uwposey@sbcglobal.net.

By Pam Robinson The New Harmony Town Council awarded bids for construction of the new fire and emergency medical services station in a special public meeting held Tuesday, June 7, at 4 p.m. Low bidders were Danco Construction for general construction at a cost of $432,610; Ritzert Company for mechanical at a cost of $133,430; and Premier Electric for electrical at a cost of $47,500.

All three companies are in Evansville, Ind. Councilman Joe Straw spoke after the meeting about the project time schedule. He said that the project ar-

chitect, Erny & Associates of Vincennes, Ind., will now contact the contractors with news of the awards. Afterward, a meeting will be scheduled with the contractors to discuss the project and set start and completion dates.

“We’re wanting to start as soon as possible,” Straw said.

He added that the project is expected to be finished by year end. The new fire and emergency medical services station will be built at the old fairgrounds east of New Harmonie Healthcare Center on Highway 66.

If a declaration for individual assistance passes, Robb indicated he would let the individuals know.

•Posey County is probably facing redistricting in voting districts due to the recently-completed census. County officials who will oversee the plans were not all on hand at the meeting so any further discussion was tabled.

Farmer’s Mkt. opens for third year in Mount Vernon today The Mount Vernon Farmers’ Market will open for its third year today, June 14 at a new location this year.

“Thanks to the generous support of the property’s owners, we will have the Mount Vernon Farmers’ Market on Fourth Street, in the parking lot located between McDonald’s Restaurant and Domino’s Pizza this year,” says Jon Neufelder, Extension Educator for Purdue Extension, who also serves as the market master.

“The Mount Vernon Farmers’ Market will be open every Tuesday through August at this location from 2 until 5 p.m., or until the produce runs out.

With the wet spring we’ve had this year, gardens didn’t get off to as early of a start as what we would have liked, but we expect vendors will have some fresh, locally grown produce to sell.

We’re hoping fresh, locally grown produce available will ranged from new red potatoes, green beans, broccoli, cabbage, greens (turnip and radish), onions, as well as, radishes, rhubarb, squash, turnips and zucchini.

As the spring and summer progresses, we expect more of the same, as well as other fruits and vegetables as they come into season,” said Neufelder. “Since we only allow locally grown produce (grown in surrounding counties in Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky) at our market, people

are going to have to be patient in waiting for ripe, red tomatoes, as they still are probably a month or so away yet,” he said.

The market is open to vendors who sell locally grown fruits and vegetables as well as assorted other items like baked goods. There also will be some handmade crafts, but the emphasis is on providing fresh, locally grown products for the citizens of Mount Vernon and the surrounding area.

OPINION

Thought-provoking quotations are often best when borrowed I have always been amused by quotations. And, most of you who know me very well, know it really doesn’t take much to amuse me.

For those who have been following the continuing saga of my “man cave” dilemma, TRUTH... please be advised that the room is done, and STRANGER I’m spending quite a lot of time in it…with THAN my wife.

FICTION The enclosure we have added to the front of our home gives me a much closer view of BY DAVE the birds and squirrels that call our yard home. PEARCE And, so far, it has probably given our neighbors a better view of the squirrels they call neighbors. We’re struggling getting the new blinds up!

I’m happy with the space, although I can hardly call it a man cave. I was able to sneak away and buy some furniture before my wife was able to make it home with the hideous green sofa she was enamored with. But for the most part, it has become a sitting room where there is no television or obnoxious noise allowed, aside from conversation. So when we are in the room together, we are actually forced to communicate. Actually, the talks that have come about as a result of the “man cave” have made it better in all areas of our house. So I will settle for sharing my “man cave,” as long as the progress continues.

But, as I said, I am infatuated with quotations. Having time to spend in the man cave has given me a little more time for reading. Some of my best stuff is not original but comes from someone else. I’d like to share some of the more noble quotations I have read in the past few days.

1. I like long walks, especially when they are taken by

people who ho annoy me. mony is like buying oats for a dead horse.

2. Alimony ncubated chickens still love their mothers?

3. Do incubated 4. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.

5. Take all the fools out of this world and there would be no fun or profit left in it.

6. She is so narrow minded that if she were to fall on a pin, she would be blinded in both eyes.

7. The one thing that hurts more than paying income tax is not having to pay one.

8. Heroes exterminate each other for the sake of those who are not heroes.

9. Money often costs too much.

10. If you want to lose a troublesome acquaintance, lend him some money.

11. Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can’t say it while the other half has nothing to say and continues to repeat it.

12. A jury consists of 12 persons who are hired to decide who has the better lawyer.

13. The reason why worry kills more people than work is because there are more worriers than workers.

14. The world is full of willing people. Some willing to work and the rest willing to let them.

15. There is always room at the top, immediately following the investigation.

16. There are often more big fish taken out of the lake than were ever in it.

17. Doctors often think many patients are healed when in

Chocolate often given unmerited bad name In an early skit, comedian Bill Cosby discusses how he came to serve his children chocolate cake for breakfast.

As he tells it, his wife roused him from deep sleep to cook the morning meal and provide the children with the perfect sendoff for school. He needed to sort the contents of the refrig- FOR THE erator to find breakfast staples and quite RECORD innocently—again, as he tells it—brought out a chocolate cake.

BY PAM Just as he was about to return the cake to ROBINSON the refrigerator, his youngest four-year-old child appears and tells him she wants chocolate cake for breakfast. He grants her wish since eggs, milk and wheat, typical breakfast fare, go into a chocolate cake. In short order, the four-year-old’s siblings also request and receive chocolate cake for breakfast. Dad pours grapefruit juice to round out the meal.

Needless to say, Cosby describes the horrifying look and actions of his wife upon discovering the five children eating chocolate cake for breakfast. She sends him to his room, where he gladly returns. It’s a win-win situation for Dad and the kids since he will go back to sleep and they have already enjoyed the cake.

What most surprises me is Cosby’s own dietary selfcontrol. He should have joined his kids in eating chocolate cake for breakfast. As one of my friends comments on-

line about the skit, “Oh yeah, chocolate cake for breakfast, lunch, dinner and afternoon snack!”

Although I watch my diet after my diagnosis of diabetes, I must admit, from time to time, I still sneak a piece of chocolate cake for breakfast (as well as lunch, dinner and afternoon snack). From the looks of quite a few comments posted online regarding Cosby’s skit, I’m not alone in succumbing to the temptation.

Actually, I’m amazed that chocolate cake has such a bad name. Not only does chocolate cake contain ingredients commonly served for breakfast, as Cosby points out, but it also satisfies many of the choices in the basic four food groups.

I expect a study to be published any day now that champions the effects of chocolate on the brain and body. Perhaps I shouldn’t go so far as to say a piece of chocolate a day keeps the doctor away, but I would swear a daily dose of chocolate makes me more alert and active. Chocolate lovers are, generally speaking, very good-looking also as they wear wide smiles while they eat.

Of course, such powerful medicine really should be reserved for adults of legal age. I can honestly say I’ve never served my daughter chocolate cake for breakfast. After all, I am a conscientious mother.

reality, they have simply quit in disgust.

18. Marry one woman and you get six…..

19. Pretty much all the truth-telling done in the world is done by children.

20. The graveyards are full of people the world could just not do without.

21. Boys will be boys and so will a lot of middle-aged men.

22. If there’s anything a public servant hates to do, it is doing something for the public.

23. In order to live off a garden, you’ll practically have to live in it.

24. Now and then an innocent man is sent to the legislature.

25. The only time some men are seen with their wives is after they have been indicted.

26. One good thing about living out on the farm is that you can fight with your wife without being heard.

27. The only way to entertain some people is to listen to them.

28. The reason why the way of the transgressor is so hard is because it is so crowded.

29. One of the greatest advantages of being poor with no insurance is that the doctor will heal you quickly.

30. Some people are so sensitive that they feel snubbed if an epidemic overlooks them.

And last but not least for this week: 31. When a person says “It’s not the money, it’s the principle of the thing,” it’s the money!

Until next week.

Wendy McNamara -- It’s that time The legislative session lasts only a few months out of each year, but preparation and work transpires throughout the interim. The first official meeting for the 2012 General Assembly commenced last Tuesday, when Indiana’s Legislative Council met.

The Indiana Legislative Council, the governing body of the General Assembly, is composed of twelve voting members, with six appointed from the Senate by the Chairman of the Council, Senate Pro Tempore David Long, and six appointed members from the House by the Vice-Chairman of the Council, House Speaker Brian Bosma.

This Tuesday’s meeting assigned topics for study during the interim and established new interim committees that are needed to examine specific issues as well as discussed rules for governing committees.

Issues explored in study committees lay the ground work for a significant portion of the legislation presented to the 2012 General Assembly. Committees are intended to be the workhorse of the institution and provide a place for issues to receive the full vetting they require.

Letters to the Editor Town, cemetery boards grateful, still needy The Town Council of the Town of New Harmony and the Board of Regents of Maple Hill Cemetery would like to thank everyone who made a donation to the cemetery fund during the last several weeks and over the Memorial Day weekend. However, we are still in need of donations to help with maintenance expenses. Contributions may be mailed to the Town of New Harmony, P.O. Box 340, New Harmony, IN 47631.

We would also like to extend a special thank you to the third and fourth grade students from New Harmony School for placing the flags on the graves of the veterans, and to those who volunteered to collect the money, including Beta Chapter of Kappa, Kappa, Kappa.

Gavel Gamut’s “Delta Dumb” Delta Airlines just charged soldiers returning from Afghanistan $2,600 in penalty fees for having one extra bag per soldier. Apparently Delta is convinced the war against terroism should be fought with 1/3 less equipment than the U.S. Anny mandates each troop carry. The wonks at Delta, who probably have never heard a shot fired in anger, were offended by the amount of stuff the warriors logged halfway around the world and schlepped onto the baggage carriers.

As I recall the days of military service, no one gave me an option to leave even a pair of woolen sox behind in Texas in July. I am fairly confident these returning heroes would have gladly left everything but the uniform they were wearing just to get home sooner and with less grief.

When my son, Jim, spent a year in Iraq (2006-2007) embedded with 4,000 Iraqi soldiers twenty miles from

the Syrian border, he spent more time keeping track of the endless list of equipment than fighting. He would

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE have been pleased to tell Delta where it could stow the many pounds of gear the Army required he tote from Ft. Leavenworth to Texas to Kuwait to Iraq then back again, a great deal of which he hardly ever used.

Peg and I and our daughter, Heather, just this past weekend took a Delta flight from Evansville to Vermont.

We went to inter Peg’s mother in the cemetery at Craftsbury Common which has fewer residents than it has cows. We packed light as we were only going to be gone three days.

While in Vermont, Heather bought 4 ounces of maple syrup to remind her of her grandmother. I took 6 ounces of shaving lather and Peg carried her 8 inch pointed knitting needles. Delta decided the maple syrup and shaving lather were the heart and soul of a new explosive device at least any amount over 3.4 ounces. They confiscated them. They said not a word about Pegs knitting needles which she blithely carried right onto the plane.

The knitting needles reminded me of the two small pocket knives I have had requisitioned from me

by Delta since 9-11. You might say, Jim, why didn’t you learn from the first lost pen knife that couldn’t have sliced through water?

My response is Delta’s and the Transportation Security Adsitinistrations’ policy on scissors.

Do you know you can carry right onto a plane “scissors with pointed blades” as

long as they do not exceed 4 inches in length. Heck, neither of my pocket knives was anywhere near as lethal as such a pair of scissors. Besides, weren’t we all taught how dangerous scissors can be? You remember your mom, your elementary teachers, your Sunday School teachers and your bossy big sister all shouting at you: “Don’t run with those scissors.’

Now I ask you, are the same geniuses at Delta who charged returning soldiers extra for following orders and who authorize potential terrorists to bring om deadly scissors the ones who fear maple syrup and shaving lather?

Perhaps we should talk further about the decisions we have made since 9-11.

The Relay for Life of Mount Vernon’s Committee would like to thank everyone who helped make this year’s Relay for Life a success. I think we can all agree that there is no greater sight than hundreds of people coming together in a spirit of camaraderie and cooperation to participate in our annual Relay for Life.

As such, we had so many committee members, team captains, team members and survivors who joined together in the common fight against cancer by fundraising, getting the word out, and working hard the day of the event to make it memorable for all who attended. Over the last fifteen years, Relay for Life of Mount Vernon has raised over $1.6 million in the fight against cancer, and we’ll continue to fundraise for as long as it takes to make cancer a memory. To date, we’ve raised nearly $60,000 towards our goal, with a few months yet to raise more funds towards cancer research and support.

We want to sincerely thank every survivor, caregiver, sponsor, team member, committee member, and volunteer who has made this Relay – and every Relay – a success. Without you, this 24-hour event simply wouldn’t be possible.

The list of people we need to thank is too great to list here, but please know that your contribution – whether monetary, physical or emotional – was appreciated beyond measure. We look forward to your continued collaboration with the American Cancer Society and to another successful Relay for Life in 2012, with Marissa Priddis and Tiffani Weatherford continuing as co-chairs for that event. We hope you’ll join us on the journey.

With grateful hearts, Marissa Priddis and Tiffani Weatherford, 2011 Relay for Life Co-Chairs

Broccoli Cheese Casserole

•

• • • • • • • • • •

INGREDIENTS 2 pounds broccoli, stems removed (can use vegetable peeler to peel, then slice and eat like celery), large florets cut, yielding about 8 cups of broccoli florets Salt for blanching water 2 strips of thick-cut bacon (about 2 ounces), cut crosswise into 1/4-inch wide strips 1/3 cup all purpose flour 5 eggs, beaten 1/2 cup cream 1 cup whole milk 2 to 3 teaspoons of freshly cracked black pepper (1 to 2 teaspoons if using fine ground black pepper) 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 8 ounces cheddar cheese, grated

METHOD 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (1 Tbsp salt for 2 quarts of water). Add the broccoli florets and boil for 3-5 minutes or until just tender enough so that a fork can easily pierce the floret, but still firm. Strain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking.

2. While the water in step one is coming to a boil, cook the bacon pieces on medium heat in a frying pan until lightly browned, but not crisp. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess fat. Set aside.

3. Preheat oven to 425°F. Butter a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish.

In a bowl, whisk the eggs into the flour, then whisk in the cream and milk. Add the black pepper (more or less to taste), salt, and mustard. Mix in about a third of the cheese.

4. Place the parboiled broccoli florets in the casserole dish, sprinkling about a third of the cheese over the broccoli florets as you lay them down. Sprinkle the bacon pieces over the broccoli. Pour the egg, cream, milk, cheese mixture over the broccoli, moving the broccoli pieces a bit so that the mixture gets into all the nooks and crannies.

Sprinkle the casserole with the remaining cheese.

5. Bake for 25-40 minutes, or until set. Once the top has browned, you may want to tent with aluminum foil to keep from burning.

Yield: Serves 5 as a main course, 10 as a side.

The meals were always delicious and “a good time was had by all.”

Throughout the week, Jesse would visit nursing homes in the surrounding area. To entertain the residents he enjoyed showing them how to fold dollar bills into shapes. Many of these dollars can be found on display at local dining establishments as he also enjoyed leaving the folded bills as tips. Jesse also entertained the residents by showing them how to work puzzles and reminding them about trivia of days past. He also enjoyed writing about the residents he visited in this article.

Bible Quote: “My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I

am going there to prepare a place for you?” John 14:2 Editor’s note: On May 17, 2011 at 10:18am, Jesse Butler was 97 years, 10 months, and 4 days old.

When he reached this age, Jesse went home to be with his Lord and Savior. When he passed, he was still of sound mind and would describe his health, “As fit as a fiddle with a few broken strings.” We were so blessed to have him as a part of our lives for so many years.

He cherished the readers of this column and spoke often of individuals sharing their thoughts about the article. We will always remember the one who sent him a gazing ball after his was stolen. We, the family, will always smile remembering people passing us who could tell us what we ate for supper last Friday when we had long forgotten. Each one of Jesse’s family members would like to sincerely thank you for being such a special part of his life and playing an important role in keeping this 97 year, 10 month, and 4 day old man young at heart.

Be in the church of your choice next week – Jesse will certainly be in his. God Bless you all.

Out and About Afterthoughts Do you remember? On July 13, 1913, Jesse Lloyd Butler was born to Mollie (Kelton) and William Butler in Poseyville, Ind.,“The Garden Spot of the World.”

Also in this year, Richard Nixon was born. Woodrow Wilson became the 28th president of the United States, of course now we are up to our 44th president.

In the year 1913, stainless steel was invented by Harry Brearley. Modern zippers were also invented. The government adopted a new bill introducing income tax.

A first class postage stamp cost 2 cents. The first crossword puzzle was published in the New York Times. In 1913, the average cost of a new car was $500 and a gallon of gas averaged 8 cents.

Yes, those were the good old days.

Elsewhere, Jesse Butler, one of nine children, spent his childhood working hard to provide for his family. He worked odd and end jobs such as picking up coal that fell off of rail cars, refurbishing old bicycles and making them ride like new. During the war, Jesse worked at Republic Aviation working on P-47’s.

After the war he was a parts manager at Nix Motor Sales. He also held a Sunday morning paper route for many years. Jesse had a profound sense of duty to the Poseyville Fire Department, serving as a volunteer firefighter for over 40 years.

Jesse finished up his time of employment at GE. At the time GE had a mandatory retirement age of 65, if not for that regulation, Jesse

Butler would have probably retired at the young age of 90.

In the 1930’s, Jesse met Julia Mauck. In 1932, Jesse graduated from Poseyville High School. It wasn’t long until Julie Mauck was Julie Butler (July 17, 1940). Together Jesse and Julie had five children; Billy Ray (Norma Sue), Judith Ann (Bill Thompson), Betty Jane (Jesse Montgomery), Bonnie Sue (Jim Straw), and Janet Lynn (Tim Woolsey).

Since then the family has grown and there are now 13 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. Jesse held each one of these grandchildren and great grandchildren on his knee. The first grandchild was born on February 14, 1961 and the last great grandchild that he held was born May 10, 2011. Jesse and Julia were actively involved with the Poseyville Christian church. Jesse was a Sunday School Teacher as well as a Deacon and Elder for many years.

Sunday through Saturday, Jesse enjoyed sitting on his front porch with his wife Julia waving at cars as they passed. He also enjoyed riding his bicycle around Poseyville. Whether he was riding solo on his bicycle built for two, carrying a grandchild around in the three wheeled bike with a basket, or just riding a one seater, Jesse loved riding bikes. Jesse and Julia often hosted Sunday afternoon meals in their home. The event would gather many family members and a good meal of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, macaroni

COM COMMUNITY MM MUNITY State Farm Community Appreciation Day sucessful “State Farm knows what our community has been going through with all the crazy weather we’ve experienced lately. People have been beaten up pretty hard with wind and flood damage.

We wanted to ‘give people a break,’” local agent Eric May said this week. “Even if it was something simple. So it just made sense to fire up the grill and let people stop by for lunch on us.

“We had a great time serving the community from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Friday,” May continued. “ We thought it would give people a good start on what we hoped

would be a great Memorial Day weekend. We served over 100 people burgers, hot dogs, chips, water and homemade cookies without asking for anything in return. I think most people had a hard time accepting the fact that it was free, so we sat out a jar for people to give a donation to Relay for Life and that helped.”

May said the staff managed to raise about $50 for Relay just as an after-thought.

One gentleman actually went back home to get a few bucks to put in the bucket. What a great community we live in.

“We tried to stress that we

wanted everyone to stop by, not just State Farm customers. That’s why our banner reads “Community Appreciation” instead of customer appreciation,” May said.

“We had a sign on the road that read, ‘Come on by community, Lunch is on us today, Everyone Welcome.’”

Being part of a community means giving back. This was our little way of doing that. It was a lot of fun for us. We had such a good time, we plan to do this again the Friday before Labor Day. We hope even more people will take advantage of it next time.

State Farm “gives to the community” as they serve free food to anyone passing by at McKim’s IGA on Memorial weekend for their Community Appreciation Day. Another Community Appreciation Day is planned for the Labor Day holiday. Photo submitted

Donations being accepted for renovations Over the past few months a group of volunteers have been working toward renovating the livestock barns at the 4 - H Fairgrounds.

Many of the facilities were built 50+ years ago and are in need of renovation.

A plan was developed to build a new show arena, a new horse barn, and then refurbish the pens and

stalls. Projected cost of the project is $185,000 thus the $31,000 is a good start but there is lots of work ahead.

The group will continue to meet, discuss the project's direction, and reevaluate its progress. Anyone wishing to make a donation can do so by sending a check to the Posey County 4 - H Barns Project, PO

Box 565, Mount Vernon, Ind. 47620. All donations are being held in an account that would allow return of the donations if the project does not come to fruition.

For more information one can contact committee members including, B. J. Reynolds, Bob Prince, Jon Neufelder, or Jim Swinney.

Tercera Club News Fifteen members and 33 guests attended the annual Mother and Daughter Banquet, which was held at the Poseyville Community Center on June 8.

in the amount of $100.

President Maier presented the “Busy Bee” award to Gayle Blunier for her dedicated service to the club and for serving as the 2010 president.

A “Volunteer of the Year” award was given to Murlea Maier for her years of service not only to Tercera but to many other organizations as well.

President Maier read a very funny excerpt from Erma Bombeck before her daughters, Anne Scherer and Emily Stevens, responded with some witticisms about motherhood.

After enjoying a delicious dinner catered by Patti Wilson, owner of Harold’s Restaurant, the children (and adults) were delighted with the entertainment for the evening—Spotter the Clown, aka Hazel Tepool.

MV farmers’ market to open in new location The Mt. Vernon Farmers’ Market will open for its third year on Tuesday, June 14 at a new location this year.

“Thanks to the generous support of the property’s owners, we will have the Mt. Vernon Farmers’ Market on 4th Street, in the parking lot located between McDonald’s Restaurant and Domino’s Pizza this year,” says Jon Neufelder, Extension Educator for Purdue Extension, who also serves as the market master.

“The Mt. Vernon Farmers’ Market will be open every Tuesday through August at this location from 2 until 5 p.m., or until the produce runs out.

With the wet spring we’ve had this year, gardens didn’t get off to as early of a start as what we

would have liked, but we expect vendors will have some fresh, locally grown produce to sell.

We’re hoping fresh, locally grown produce available will ranged from new red potatoes, green beans, broccoli, cabbage, greens (turnip and radish), onions, as well as, radishes, rhubarb, squash, turnips and zucchini.

As the spring and summer progresses, we expect more of the same, as well as other fruits and vegetables as they come into season,” said Neufelder. “Since we only allow locally grown produce (grown in surrounding counties in Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky) at our market, people are going to have to be patient in waiting for ripe, red tomatoes, as they still are probably a month or so

away yet,” he said.

The market is open to vendors who sell locally grown fruits and vegetables as well as assorted other items like baked goods. There also will be some handmade crafts, but the emphasis is on providing fresh, locally grown products for the citizens of Mt. Vernon and the surrounding area.

For more information, including a vendor registration form and market rules for the Mt. Vernon Farmers’ Market, visit the Purdue Extension website (under Hot Topics) at: www.extension.purdue. edu/posey/. If you have additional questions, contact Jon Neufelder at the Purdue Extension office in Mt. Vernon at: (812) 838-1331 or by e-mail at: neufelde@purdue.edu.

The New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art presents “Natural Elements”, an exhibition of work by Curt Schmitt and John Spurgin, June 25 through August 14. A reception for the artists will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, June 25, and is free and open to the public.

Despite the inundation in our society by technology,

Schmitt, of New Harmony, and Spurgin, of Evansville, manage to be inspired by the natural world. Schmitt’s beautifully hand-crafted wood furniture is determined by the natural qualities of his medium. The character of the wood - the grain, color and texture guides the design of the work.

“A beautiful curve in the grain impresses itself toward an arched chair back.

Or the particularly rich red hue of a cherry door panel faintly suggests the blush of a sunset,” Schmitt said.

Likewise, Spurgin’s equally abstract work references the beauty of the flat and parceled Midwestern landscape and includes a series of floral paintings the artist compares to the botanical prints popular in the 18th century and to the work of 20th century artist Georgia O’Keefe.

Schmitt was born and raised in Indiana. Originally from Rockport, he spent most of his childhood in Greenfield. After obtaining degrees from Wabash College and Yale University, Schmitt taught philosophy,

religion, literature and art in Memphis, Tenn., where he and his wife Paula and son Christian lived for 23 years.

During his years of teaching, Schmitt developed a successful woodworking business which became his sole profession when he retired from teaching in 2006.

Long attracted to the rich history and culture of New Harmony, he and Paula are happy to call it home.

Schmitt designs and builds fine furniture and cabinetry in a shop next to the house he built just outside of the town.

Indianapolis native Spurgin has been making art for 50 years. After receiving a master’s degree in studio art from Indiana State University, he began his career as an art teacher in Flint, Mich. He continued teaching art at the Flint Institute of Arts, the University of Cincinnati, Minnesota State University and the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, where he served as vice president of Academic Affairs. He and his wife Myrna relocated to Evansville in 1997, and he became director of the Hoosier Salon New Harmony Gallery in 2001. His work has been exhibited widely in more than a dozen states and in Canada.

CCPI money available for farmers Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced that $7 million will be available to eligible farmers, ranchers and private nonindustrial forest landowners in 11 states to implement conservation practices on agricultural and nonindustrial private forest lands through the Cooperative Conservation Partnership Initiative (CCPI). CCPI helps producers create natural resource benefits such as clean air, clean water, productive soils and abundant wildlife on their operations.

“In Indiana, we will add two new projects under CCPI, including a forestry project in partnership with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, and an invasive species control project in partnership with the Greater Wabash Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D). These unique partnerships will allow NRCS to complement the work of non-federal partners with our own technical and financial resources,” said State Conservationist Jane Hardisty.

The Department of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry project will utilize

$300,000 to apply forestry conservation practices on private lands in the Hoosier National Forest, such as tree and shrub establishment, invasive species control and forest stand improvement. The Greater Wabash RC&D project will utilize $30,000 to control invasive species, specifically Bush Honeysuckle, in the Wildcat watershed, in cooperation with a Mississippi River Basin Initiative project.

Individual farmers and private landowners located in approved project areas may now apply through their local NRCS office to find out whether they are eligible for financial and technical assistance.

For a complete list of approved projects, go to www.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/ccpi/ ccpi2011.html. Additional information about CCPI is available at http://www.nrcs.usda. gov/programs/ccpi/index.html.

Interested farmers and landowners should contact their NRCS district conservationist at a USDA Service Center, which can be found at http://www.in.nrcs.usda.gov/contact/directory/field_offices.html.

The Mount Vernon Homeless Shelter offers a hand up not a hand out to families in Posey County.

Any family that has children and at least one adult working in the household can be eligible and apply to enter the shelter at the Black Township Trustee Office .The economy is creating sad situations for families in the

community.

If there is an organization of any kind looking for a service project, the Mount Vernon Homeless Shelter is in dire need of the following items; laundry detergent, fabric softener, paper towels, shampoo, toilet paper, deodorant, feminine products, any type of cleaning supplies, along with razors,

dish soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste.

Any products can be dropped off at the Black Township Trustee Office at 5773 Industrial Road in Mount Vernon, Indiana, (838-3851) or at St. Matthew’s Church Office at 421 Mulberry Street in Mount Vernon, Monday thru Thursday from 8:30 until 4 p.m.

Community table offers hot meals in Poseyville With today’s busy schedules, people don’t often have the opportunity to have a nutritious “home-cooked” meal.

The Community Table hopes to help change that!

Each Thursday night, a hot meal will be served at St. Paul’s United Methodist church in Poseyville for all who come—individuals, couples and families. Children must be accompanied by an adult. There is NO charge for the meal. The Community Table served their first meal on May 5 and currently serves an average of 40-45 people. The doors will open at 4:30 p.m., and dinner will be served from 5:30

to 6:30 p.m. Volunteers will staff each Thursday evening meal. St. Paul’s is located on the corner of Cale and Oak Streets.

The idea of a local Community Table, inspired by the Dale Presbyterian Church’s program, began in October 2010 with a group of women who saw an overwhelming need for this program. Within the North Posey School district, twenty-five percent of the student population receives free or reduced lunches. These weekly meals at the Community Table will help provide a sense of community and also offer an avenue of support for those in need.

The group is offering an

additional program for the youth who attend the Community Table called “Let’s Eat!” Bags of non-perishable food will be distributed so the children will have wholesome food to eat. Many children do not have a nutritious meal for lunch during the summer.

The Community Table will be supported by donations from people in our community who feel that this is a much-needed program in our area. If you are interested in donating, volunteering, or have any questions, please contact the Community Table at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Poseyville at (812) 874-2251.

Toyota donates to local organizations More than 40 nonprofit organizations in nine counties will receive money to support programs from Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Indiana’s quarterly philanthropy program.

Toyota Indiana focuses its giving on programs that support youth and education, health and human services, civic initiatives and arts and culture in the tri-state where its team members live. The following counties received grants this quarter: Daviess (Ind.), Dubois, Gibson, Hen-

derson, Knox, Pike, Posey, Vanderburgh and Warrick.

A diverse group of nonprofits, which run programs ranging from summer day camps to hospice care, will benefit from the money.

us to reward nonprofit groups for the outstanding job they do in supporting the needs of the community,” said TMMI Vice President of Administration, Susan Elkington. “On behalf of our team members, many of whom volunteer at these organizations, we say ‘thank you.’ ” Aug. 15 marks the deadline for TMMI’s next grant applications.

Vectren energy efficiency tips

This spring’s abnormally warm weather, including a month of June that is seeing temperatures at 10 to 13 degrees above the normal high of 85, has jumpstarted the cooling season for Vectren’s southwestern Indiana electric customers. As such, the utility is reminding customers to consider ways to conserve energy.

“A warmer than normal May and June has quickly forced customers to turn on air conditioners and cooling fans to combat these high temperatures,” said Doug Petitt, vice president of marketing and conservation. “This increased energy usage so early in the season will impact upcoming energy bills. As we continue through spring and into summer, we are encouraging customers to practice energy efficiency and find simple ways to cut energy costs by reducing their energy usage.”

Below are some simple tips to help conserve energy and keep your house cool during this period of extreme heat: • Perform regular mainteRep.

For each degree, the thermostat is raised for a sustained, 8-hour period, you can save 1 to 3 percent in cooling costs. Vectren customers with natural gas service are eligible for a $20 rebate when purchasing a programmable thermostat. Visit vectren.com for details.

• Close storm windows and doors to keep hot air out and cool air in.

• Minimize the use of ovens, stoves, washers, dryers and other major appliances that generate heat inside the home when used.

• Reverse the direction of your ceiling fan. By changing the direction to counterclockwise in the summer, the fan will circulate the cool air.

With this cooling effect, you can raise the thermostat three to four degrees and feel just as comfortable.

• Keep in mind that ceiling fans cool people, not rooms. If

the room is unoccupied, turn off the ceiling fan to save energy.

• Close your blinds or curtains to keep sunlight out. The sun's rays will warm your home and cause additional air conditioning use.

• Switch to compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs, which use up to 75 percent less energy than standard bulbs and last up to 10 times longer. Vectren offers substantial, in-store savings on qualifying CFL bulbs at local Wal-marts and Sam’s Clubs, including automatic discounts up to $2.50 per bulb.

Visit http://www.vectren.com or call (866) 240-8476 to learn more.

• Permanently unplug older, inefficient appliances to avoid unneeded energy consumption. Vectren will haul away your extra refrigerator, freezer or window A/C unit and recycle it – and pay you $30 for each qualifying appliance.

For many Point Township residents....

Waters have receded but ‘normal’ still well adrift

W

e were going to move the rose garden anyway,” jokes Point Township flood survivor Steve Capes.

His wife Penny laughs along with him.

They are inspired by the survival of a little greenery in their yard—a young fig tree that is leafing along with a Rose of Sharon and a Blazing Star. The emotional resilience of my sister-in-law and her husband runs as deep as the mighty Ohio River.

On May 4, the day after their 36th wedding anniversary, Steve and Penny were able to return by boat to the home they evacuated on Easter Sunday, April 24. It wasn’t the first time rising flood waters had surrounded their home and forced them to stay with relatives in town. This time, however, the waters spilled ten and a half inches over into their home as well.

When they were able to return home the first time by car on May 15, they saw up close and personal the extent of the river’s destructive force. They found a flower box once located on the north side of their home inside the box for the rose garden once located on the south side of their home.

Both turned up in the woods on the outskirts of their property, one-quarter mile away.

Nearby were duck decoys hanging six feet up in pine trees. Their above ground pool in the backyard had been flattened. They lost almost all outside plantings—lilac bushes and shrubs, impatiens and onion slips.

Inside their home, they had to tear out the bottom three feet of the walls in every room to remove wet insulation and to get rid of mold. In the bathrooms, nothing remains now except the toilets. Needless to say, all carpeting and linoleum had to be removed.

Still, Steve and Penny consider themselves fortunate to have built their floors with treated tongue and groove plywood that withstood the flood waters without buckling or warping.

They were able to pack and save a truckload of such irreplaceable belongings as photographs and furniture—for example, their bedroom set and a china cabinet— handed down from generation to generation,

but the waters rose too quickly to allow a second trip to pack and save the remainder of their home’s contents.

Their daughter Kristina lost her prom dress and graduation gown. Steve lost his childhood baby bed and a recliner inherited from his father. Penny lost a landscape painting passed down from her parents.

Otherwise, they must replace any number of household necessities: their couch and chairs for the family room, kitchen cabinets and appliances, Kristina’s bedroom set.

Since they had to leave most of their clothes in the closets, they also have little left to wear.

“The mold started growing so fast by the time we got back in there, we had to get rid of stuff,” Penny explains. “You can’t believe how much moisture stayed in the air.”

Anything the mold touched had to be thrown into the fire. It touched almost everything, growing even on wicker baskets and magazines well out of reach of the flood waters.

“You can’t remember how much you have to throw away, from the garage to the shed to the house,” Penny says.

Once Steve and Penny had salvaged the shell of their home, they had to power wash the outside and scrub the inside with a bleach solution. The stench of the river water has left only within the past few days.

In spite of everything, Steve and Penny know they are far luckier than several Point Township residents whose homes suffered more damage and who were forced to live in tents. The flood waters rose just short of their electrical casings. An inspector found all electrical wiring in order and safe. Likewise, their well head was capped and buried two feet below ground, so their tap water remained clean.

Best of all, they have a home to rebuild, and the means to rebuild it. Inspectors estimate the cost of rebuilding at a little under $20,000, all covered by their flood insurance. Now, they wait for the Posey County Area Plan Commission and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources to issue a building permit before they can start renovations.

Steve and Penny Capes somehow manage to keep a sense of humor in spite of the spring flooding that severely damaged their Point Township home. Photo by Pam Robinson.

The couple expresses deep gratitude for the assistance they receive until then. Their middle child, daughter Rachel Mohr, her husband Brandyn and their three children continue to share their three-bedroom home with Steve and Penny and their oldest daughter Kristina. (Indeed, for two and a half weeks, Rachel’s baby brother Stephen, his wife Lacy and their three children also lived under her roof. One of Stephen and Lacy’s children was born while they were displaced from their Point Township home due to the flood. Fortunately, the water didn’t get inside their home.)

“People think because you work at Sabic [where Steve is employed] that you don’t need help,” Penny says. “You just can’t imagine how expensive it is to live away from home with food costs alone.”

She cried when the Salvation Army provided her family over $1,000 in aid. She is grateful also for financial assistance from the Posey County chapter of the American

Red Cross and clothing vouchers from the Posey County Thrift Shop.

No matter the hardship of grappling with flood waters, Penny states, “We don’t want to live anywhere else.”

She and Steve have lived in Point Township the entire 36 years of their marriage.

Penny has lived there since she was eight years old when her family moved into the area from down South to help with the construction of the J.T. Myers Dam. Steve fights back tears as he recalls a tender moment that reveals just how much their home place means to Penny. As they surveyed the damage inside their home, Penny dipped a cup into the still-receding flood waters and started watering the house plants that had survived. He knew then also that he possessed the courage and energy to start over again with her.

Whatever the circumstances, there’s just no place like home when it’s a place in the heart.

m e ’ e c i r P 30 to 40 tips in IU e W MC w Gsearch student e N Fathers Day ASSOCIATED PRESS

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Police said Sunday that an “America’s Most Wanted” television show segment about ack Indiana Uni87 -ablmissing 52 #9 versity student generated at least 30 to 40 tips, but so far none of them have led to major breakthroughs in the case.

Lauren Spierer was last seen walking home alone from a friend’s apartment early June 3, a few hours after she left a popular Bloomington bar.

The case of the missing 20-year-old student from Greenburgh, N.Y., was featured on “America’s Most Wanted” on Saturday.

Bloomington police say the show generated 30 to 40 tips between the show’s 9 p.m. airing and 3 a.m., but none have led to any breaks in the investigation. Police Capt.

Joe Qualters hoped for more tips Sunday.

Robert Spierer told reporters at a news conference Sunday in Bloomington that twice-a-day searches for his daughter will continue all week.

His wife, Charlene Spierer, said she had a message for whoever has Lauren or has harmed her.

“Shame on you,” she said. “Shame on you.”

She begged anyone with knowledge of what happened to her daughter to come forward and said the family is just looking for answers. The mother also had a message for her child. She said she wants Lauren to know her mother remains strong and as determined as ever to find her.

“I am here for you 100 percent. I will never leave you,” Charlene Spierer said.

“I love you with all my heart, and I need you back.”

Police have been interviewing people who know

I love you with all my heart and I need you back.”

Lauren Spierer and have 10 people of interest. They emphasized that those individuals are not suspects.

Investigators, who have obtained security video from the area where Lauren Spierer was last seen, are not planning to release the footage, Qualters said.

Video evidence last shows Spierer between 3:15 and 3:30 a.m. on June 3 walking, he said. Qualters wouldn’t say whether she was alone or what else the video shows.

Police have that the last time anyone saw Spierer, she was leaving a friend’s apartment to walk home alone around 4:30 a.m.

Qualters said a representative of Texas Equusearch, a national search group, was in Bloomington on Saturday.

Police plan to meet with the group, which provides horse-mounted search and recovery volunteers, to determine if it can provide any services in this case.

North Posey black takes narrow lead in Babe Ruth standings

Zach Scheller had three blows, while fanned 11 times as a team, and on five of Paul Szbinski, Reed Gertesen, Michel Sims those strikeouts, they were caught looking. and Beau Cox each had one.

coming up with a run in the bottom of the seventh to pull out a 6-5 victory over visiting Haubstadt Merchants.

Black coach Damien Word was impressed with Merchants’ ability to hit the ball and while he was pleased to get the win, was concerned abut his team’s tendency to wait before hauling out the bats.

“They put the pressure on us,” he said.

“That seems to be our motto right now. We didn’t make too many mistakes tonight, but we really didn’t play that badly, they just put the pressure on us.”

Merchants also made Word use some pitching, but the team didn’t fold, either and they made better contact with six strikeouts.

Black loaded the bases in the bottom of the seventh with nobody out. After Andy Herrmann hit into a fielder’s choice cut down the potential winning run at the plate, Christian Jones swung away instead of bunting, dropped a screamer down the left field line and brought in Zach Carl with the winning run.

Jones and Carl each had three hits, while Tyler Wright, Taylor Brown and Jerad Hostettler had two apiece. James Marshall and Michael Bender each had a hit and Griffin Wiethrop doubled.

A four-run third inning was the difference as Black opened the week with a 6-1 win over visiting St. Wendel.

“We were a little off tonight,” St. Wendel coach Gene Wildeman said. “We didn’t come out fired up like we need to be.”

The team has been up and down so far this season, although the pitching and hitting have been good at times, Wildeman added, but the defense needs to improve.

Steagall scored St. Wendel’s lone run of the night on a double by Blake Wildeman.

Derek Lindauer also doubled.

“The third inning was big,” Word said.

“We got a few runs early. In the first inning, we had the bases loaded and we didn’t get anything out of it, only one run. But that seemed to set the pace, it seemed like only a matter of time before we’d start scoring on them.”

The win was a bit amazing, Word said, as Black showed marked improvement over their game with Red. Bender shut out St. Wendel on one hit through the first five innings, while the batters kept the pressure on.

The team seems to be back in synch after two weeks of rainouts, the coach added.

Black will be playing four games a week over the next three weeks and that will be a test, Word added, so it was good to get the rust off.

Brown had two hits and drove in three runs, as Black played a lot of small ball en route to the win. Bender and Jones each had two hits, while Wiethrop drove in two runs despite going hitless and Carl moved runners along despite hitting into a pair of fielder’s choices.

Red outslugged Princeton Red down the stretch for an 11-8 victory in Gibson County earlier in the week.

Wright and Gish each had three hits, with Gish opening up the scoring for Red with a lead-off home run in the top of the fourth inning. Red didn’t score for the first three innings of the game and then scored all of its runs over the last four innings, plating five tallies in the top of the sixth.

Motz and Scheller each had two hits, while Cox added a blow and Gish was hit by a pitch twice.

“We jumped out to a big lead,” Voegel said. “We did a pretty good job of pitching and went into the bottom of the seventh inning with an 11-4 lead.”

Princeton Red took advantage of some younger Red relief pitching and a few errors to score four runs until Gertesen came on to close the door.

Red rolled Legion 12-1 in five innings Wednesday night at Gibson Southern, scoring five runs in the top of the fourth inning to break things open.

Gertesen, Gish, Motz and Scheller each had two hits, while Motz went the distance.

Red also played good defense and took advantage of five Gibson Southern errors.

At 19-2 on the season, Reidford was the Mount Vernon player with the best individual record and one of the best second singles players in the area. She was the only Mount Vernon player to win a spot in the Lady Wildcats’ Sectional contest with Mater Dei. Schroeder made a great deal of progress at first singles throughout the year, developing into one of the team’s more consistent players by the end of the year.

Both players were key contributors as the Lady Cats came in third behind perennial powerhouse Jasper and Vincennes in the conference with a 4-3 mark.

Other than the two Mount Vernon players, the All-Big Eight team is almost all Jasper and Vincennes.

Better make that almost all Jasper, as that school has five all-conference picks, including Lauren Monesmith, Abby Rogers, Ashley Rodgers, Rachel Seng and Elizabeth Thiel.

Kyle Wormley and Colleen O’Rourke represent the Lady Alices, while Princeton’s Kelsey Schurmeier rounds out the team.

Team Linex walloped Ritchie Mason 16-2 in the second game Friday night and then O’Risky Excavating dug a hole and pushed in Marty Fisher’s team 26-3.

North Posey pitcher Shelley Schmitt has been named to the All-Packet Athletic Conference softball team for this season.

A senior, Schmitt has been a consistent winner for the Lady Vikings, helping them to a 4-4 conference mark and a 14-8 overall record this year. North Posey wrapped up the season in a three-way tie with Heritage Hills and Tecumseh for fourth in the PAC.

‘Bittersweet’ ending comes to Wildcat golf season

By Steve Joos Tuesday was a bittersweet night for Mount Vernon boys’ golf coach Doug Blair as he reviewed the Wildcats’ season and presented awards and letters at the team’s banquet and awards ceremony, which was held at Western Hills Country Club.

“I really enjoyed this season,” Blair said. “The seniors, Sam (Key) and Kyle (Sheffer), they’ve meant a lot for our program and they’ve going to be missed. We won the Vincennes Invitational at the beginning of the year.

We were third behind Mount Carmel and Jasper in the Big Eight and I really feel like we competed against Harrison, Memorial and Castle.

I think we’re the best team in that next tier. I’m looking forward to next year.”

The Cats won the Vincennes Invitational, while finishing third in the conference (behind heavyweights Jasper and Mount Carmel) and fifth in the Sectional.

Blair praised his team for their efforts, especially thanking seniors Sheffer an

Photo by Terri Koch Key for their contributions to the Wildcats’ success.

“We had a successful season and we owe much to our seniors,” Blair said. “They have had a good career and have set the bar for years to come. I wish them the best.

We will continue to work in the off-season to get better because all schools at the Sectional and Regional

levels will have key players coming back.”

Underclassmen Joe Reinitz and Andrew Higgins, the team’s Regional qualifiers, were also honored, along with Trevor Grant, Brandon Lauderdale, Levon Suave, Ryan McGruder, Nick McGruder, Adam Burton and Todd Scheffer.

Todd Scheffer was named

the team’s newcomer of the year. Other award winners were Higgins (most improved) and Kyle Sheffer (low average and most valuable player).

Kyle Sheffer was the conference medalist and an AllBig Eight Conference selection, as was Key, who will golf at Kentucky Wesleyan in the fall.

Bender omitted from state meet story North Posey’s Meagan Bender was erroneously omitted from last week’s report on the Posey County participants in the Indiana High School Athletic Association state girls’ track meet.

Bender, a sophomore at North Posey, finished 25th in the 400-meter dash with a time of 1:02.27.

“Meagan did really well,” Lady Vikings’ coach Leah Stormont said. “I know that it wasn’t her best time that she was wanting, but with the conditions and just the atmosphere, she did really good.”

The hot, humid conditions (the hottest of the year so far) at Bloomington, combined with the strong statewide competition may have been a bit overwhelming for the freshman sprinter, Stormont said.

“I know that Meagan will take this competition and the confidence that comes with it into next year.” the coach explained. “She’s had a great year and reached her goal of setting a school record and that took her to state.”

She was one of four participants from the county and the only one from North Posey. The Mount Vernon contingent included Erica McCormick (800-run), and the two respective Regional long jump champions, Katie Cox and Will Terbrack.

Cox had the best girls’ finish, taking 15th in the long jump, leaping 16 feet, 11 inches.

McCormick came in 24th in the 800-meters (2:22.88), while Terbrack was 20th in the boys’ long jump (20 feet, six and a quarter inches).

New Harmony ratifies teacher contracts, other salaries to 2013

By Pam Robinson

By Pam Robinson The New Harmony School Board ratified the teacher contract and set administration and support staff salaries for the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 school years at its Thursday, June 9, meeting.

In two separate votes following, the board also set media center coordinator Shelley Eagan’s salary and treasurer Paula Schmitt’s salary for the 2011-2012 and 20122013 school years. Eagan’s husband Jim abstained from the vote on her salary, and Schmitt’s husband Curt abstained from the vote on her salary. Four board members voted on all actions. Board member Jason Wilson was absent from the meeting.

Superintendent Fran Thoele stated that the twoyear contract provided for one percent pay increase increments each year, but explained that the increments would not be automatic after July 2013 as a result of new state law tying teacher raises to evaluations. She added that in the first year only, teachers would receive $450 for their health savings account, or HSA, and a $1,000 stipend spread out in two payments, one in January and one in May.
