By Valerie WerkmeisterCynthiana Town Board members

met for their monthly meeting last Tuesday, June 11, and discussed a number of nuisance ordinance viola-tions. Board members are vigilant in their duties to make its residents com-ply with their efforts to take pride in their town.

All new complaints must be fi led on a written form at the town hall. Homeowners have the right to request a copy of the form for review once a complaint has been fi led against them.

Bill Rogers of 10308 Gum Street will be sent a letter requesting tree limbs to be trimmed back away from the street. A letter will also be sent to 10458 Mill Street to clean up garbage and trash piles on the property. A re-quest to mow tall grass and weeds will be sent to property owners at 10256 Evansville Street, 10300 Whiting Street and 11400 North Street.

Remnants of a home and garage at 10965 Highway 65 North will be de-molished once the state fi re marshal’s offi ce has completed its investigation of the fi re. Board members agreed not to pursue any action against the home-owner, Jackie Sinay, at this time due to the situation.

Clean-up of the home and property at 10260 Whiting Street is in progress as new residents work to move into the home. The previous residents left the home and property in complete havoc.

A letter will also be sent to the resi-dent at 10819 Main Street regarding complaints of a dog barking causing a nuisance.

A special spring clean-up day will be held for Cynthiana residents on Saturday, June 22, beginning at 8 a.m. A dumpster for garbage will be available at the water plant. A special recycling service will also be on hand

to accept a number of items includ-ing: computer, stoves, refrigerators, water heaters, washers, dryers, mi-crowaves, bed frames, coffee makers, toasters, blenders, tin, gutters, table saws, grinders, chop saws, band saws, window air conditioners, central air conditioners, furnaces, grills, chest freezers, stereos, aluminum doors and windows. In return, the town will re-ceive $.02 per pound reimbursement.

Posey County Emergency Manage-ment Agency (EMA) Director, Larry Robb, presented information about the county’s Code Red emergency alert system available to county resi-dents. He explained that interested participants should visit the county’s website, www.poseycountygov.org, and click on the Code Red link. A per-son’s name, address and home phone and or cell phone should be entered.

Posey County 4-H Fair planned for July 6-13

By Dave PearceFunding for the new police and fi re station, annexa-

tion, and the upcoming yearly budgets dominated the June 27 meeting of the Mount Vernon City Council.

The Council voted that funding for the police and fi re station will be as follows: a blend of CCDF/EDIT; $20,000 from CCDF, and the remainder from EDIT funds. The term of the loan would be 15 years and a building corporation would have to be utilized to en-able borrowing.

The Council continued passed on second reading their intentions to annex West Ridge, Lakeview Place ‘B,’ Lots 12 through 19, and Western Hills Country Club. City Attorney Beth Higgins stated the Public Hearing on the annexation ordinance will be held on August 22, followed by third reading.

The Mount Vernon Redevelopment Commission is looking for a few good people. Mount Vernon City Attorney Beth McFadin-Higgins told the Mount Ver-non City Council this week that the group will need to have an organizational meeting very soon. The May-or has three appointments and the Council has two – they need to make those appointments now. Again, they need to meeting in the fi rst couple of weeks of July and whoever they choose will also need to be

bonded, so they need to get started on that.Posey County Democratic Party Chairman and

Mount Vernon resident Ed Adams was asked to serve on the committee and agreed to take on the respon-sibility.

Mount Vernon Mayor John Tucker indicated that he has, so far, chosen Mount Vernon businessmen Larry Williams and Mike Ashworth.

•Clerk-Treasurer Crist Sitzman stated she has re-ceived tax settlement from the county and all depart-ments got through spring not needing a loan. Hope-fully they will do as well and not need one before fall installment is received.

Councilwoman Higgins stated at the last meeting she suggested a stop sign at Locust and East Water Street. She added that traffi c counters had been uti-lized and that the intersection does not meet the re-quirements for a stop sign. Higgins continued by stating she would like to add crosswalks instead at Mulberry and Water and Walnut and Water streets. Dieterle stated the speed limit in the area is 30 and maybe the council could look at lowering that to 20 MPH before the pedestrian walkway.

Special to the News An accelerated farmland sell-off

at the end of 2012 has led to con-tinued low supplies of premium quality property, according to Farm-ers National Company, the largest farmland and ranchland real estate company in the country. Last year’s rush, prompted by economic uncer-tainty and tax law changes, contin-ues to have an impact into 2013. High quality land is still in demand, and buyers are competing for top acres that are currently in short sup-ply.

Competition for land has kept values strong, averaging 20 percent higher values over comparable land in 2012. Much of the continued rise is due to auction activity driving sales prices as purchasers vie for parcels of land. Mid- to high-quality properties are still seeing such rises in value, while lower quality land values are staying steady.

“Values are still going up, but the pace has slowed overall,” said Der-rick Volchoff, ALC, vice president of real estate operations at Farmers National Company. “Many transac-tions for high quality land are being sold via auction, which drives prices through competitive situations.”

Auctions today have turned very competitive with bidding wars be-coming the norm for high quality land sales. Areas of the country that normally do not run auctions, such as the Delta region, are now seeing them on a regular basis, according to Volchoff.

“Despite an overall moderation in the number of sales transactions since the end of last year, there has been noticeable growth in the size of parcels being sold per purchase,” said Volchoff.

Moving into the third quarter of 2013, Farmers National Company expects the number of transactions being closed to increase, based on activity seen in the past 60 days.

“During the fi rst two quarters of 2013, there has been a hiccup in activity based on the surge at 2012 year-end,” said Volchoff. “Howev-er, the trend seems to be shifting up-ward again and transaction numbers for the balance of the year should remain relatively steady.”

Investors are sticking with land as a safe, long-term investment while farmers are putting cash from past yearly profi ts back into operations. Built up cash reserves for farmers are prompting farm operators to buy premium land when it becomes available to add to their inventory and to accommodate the return of younger family members to farms. For both groups, economic un-certainty is still driving purchase decisions. Farmers are looking for premium land on which to expand, while investors may purchase prop-erties based on price and projected return on investments.

“Even with recent drops in crop size for farmers, profi ts are still at

Farm landprices stillon the rise

By Dave PearceThe Board of Public

Works & Safety met at 4 p.m. on June 27 in the Meeting Room at City Hall Annex with Mount Vernon Mayor John Tucker presid-ing and members Fuelling and Curtis attending.

The Mount Vernon Ki-wanis Club asked for help from the city.

Brittaney Johnson, of the Southwestern Indiana Chamber of Commerce, told the board she was rep-resenting the Mount Ver-non Kiwanis and the club is going to be hosting a 5K run on September 14, the weekend of River Days. They will be starting at the courthouse and ending on Main Street between Sec-ond and Third streets. She added it will be a ‘color run’ – meaning everyone will have white t-shirts and they will be ‘doused’ with dyed cornstarch at the be-ginning of the race, and

various locations along the route. She indicated she has spoken with Mount Vernon Fire Chief Wes Dixon and he indicated the fi re depart-ment would spray down the streets after the conclusion of the race. She added they will need a few more bar-ricades from the street de-partment, and they would also need some police as-sistance as well. The race begins at 9 a.m. and should be over within the hour.

The Board OK’d the plan for the run and approved barricades for the streets where the run will be held.

Tucker announced he was contacted by Randy Stapp of the Lions Club, concerning the Fourth of July fi reworks this year. Stapp is no longer qualifi ed to fi re them off and they have had to go outside the organization to fi nd some-one. They will be held this year on July 9 at dark.

Board member Steve

Fuelling reminded the club they will need to co-ordi-nate with the Mount Ver-non Parks and Recreation Department about where they can go now to shoot the fi reworks off. Fuelling also questioned about the date of July 9. Tucker re-plied because the Lions are having to bring someone in from the outside and this is the fi rst available time that he has.

Fuelling also mentioned the Wolfgang dance will be going on as well.

Tucker told street work-ers they will need to block Water and Main streets as well as Water and Mulberry streets for the event.

Mount Vernon Police Chief Grant Beloat stated as a result of the Executive Session held also on June 27, he would recommend the Board approve the hir-ing list that was established. The works board agreed to the request.

a level higher than in 2010,” said Volchoff. “Farm debt is still low in relative historical terms.”

According to Volchoff, several issues in the U.S., such as healthcare and in-terest rates are likely to im-pact economic trends and thus land inventory levels and sales activity once they are resolved. The direction of market and political is-sues will likely shape the rest of 2013. As the housing market improves, develop-ers will likely begin to buy land for development. This could trigger more 1031 tax deferred exchanges pushing new money into the market.

Quality farmland in the East Central region con-tinues to see moderate to steady land values, with increases near four percent over the past six months, according to Roger Hay-worth, area sales manager for Farmers National Com-pany in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, eastern Kentucky, and eastern Mis-souri.

“Low supply, prompted by strong sales activity late in 2012, is causing prices to rise as demand has stayed strong into this year,” said Hayworth. “When a unit of land is placed on the mar-ket, it is sought after with aggression – particularly high quality parcels.”

Both investors and farmer-owners are buy-

ing land, but perhaps a bit more cautiously, according to Hayworth. Several posi-tive income years have put farmers in a stronger posi-tion than years past to be able to increase the size or their operations. “Many continue to evaluate their personal and business situa-tions before buying, but are making the move when an opportunity arises.”

Despite fewer sales, Hay-worth says he is seeing larg-er parcels of land being sold in individual transactions as we move further into 2013.

Top prices in the region can be seen in Illinois at $12,500 per acre on average for high quality land. These levels are followed by In-diana showing values up to $10,500 per acre, and Ohio, which has reached $8,200 per acre.

In the event of any type of emergency, the residents will be contacted via home or cell phone, whichever they chose. Types of emergency notifi cations are not limited to just severe weather warnings. Alerts can also include power out-ages, boil orders, evacuation orders or missing children.

Clean-Up, continued from A1

Whether someone is among the 39 percent of the U.S. population with type O positive blood or the two percent with B negative, the American Red Cross is looking for eligible donors of all types to give blood this summer to help avert a shortage.

Those with O negative, A negative and B negative are especially urged to do-nate, as their blood types are often in high demand because they can poten-tially be transfused to both Rh negative and positive patients. O negative is the universal blood type and can potentially be trans-fused to any patient.

This weeks featured animal is a special kit-ten named Buddy. He is a four-month-old, grey, male tabby. He is affec-tionate and playful. He’s not available for adop-tion just yet. When he was brought to the shelter with his mom and litter mates, we knew something wasn’t right. The diagnosis from the vet was a ruptured left eye which needs removed. We are collecting funds to cover the cost of surgery and vaccinations.

Cassie is a nine-year-old beagle/hound mix. She loves people, but is shy. Very sweet and gentle. Loves to go for walks and to give kisses. She’s great with kids.

NP Class of ‘83 Reunion

The Posey Humane So-ciety is the only rescue in Posey County to take in homeless cats. We are not equipped to handle truly feral cats, but we do take in strays who can be handled, nurse them back to health and try to fi nd them happy homes. Currently we are housing approximately 80 cats and kittens.

Some have already devel-oped a bond with their cage mate and we try very hard to get them homed together (and yes, there is a discount on the adoption fee for the 2old, long-haired or short-haired and any color combi-nation you can imagine.

In a single month, we use approximately the follow-ing: 400 lbs. of cat food; 100 lbs. of kitten food; 600 lbs. of cat litter; 400 lbs. of dog food; $500+ in shelter needs (medical funds, repairs, sup-plies); 40 gallons of cleaners (bleach, fl oor cleaners, etc,); 150 rolls of paper towels; 200 large (39 gal+) trash bags; Enough detergent to do 200 loads of laundry; Varying amount of cat and dog toys and treats.

We receive no govern-ment funding, and no fund-ing from national animal rescue groups such as the Humane Society of the United States or the Ameri-can Humane Society. Car-ing for the animals takes dedication from our staff and our volunteers. It also takes donations from a car-ing community to help with the costs of the supplies. We thank everyone for keeping us going. Please contact the shelter at 838-3211 for vol-unteer applications.

Upcoming blood donation opportunities

Mount Vernon Police Chief Grant Beloat stated he favors a stop sign and a pedestrian crosswalk at the intersection. Hig-gins stated she would like to see something done and in place before the Landing opens up. Hig-gins added there are a lot of distractions in the area right now and they really need something in place. She then moved to place a 3-way at Locust and East Water streets and lowering the speed limit to 20 MPH west-bound at Locust and Canal streets. Additionally

crosswalks would be put in at both Mulberry and Wa-ter streets and Walnut and Water streets. The sugges-tion was approved.

The Council, after a brief recess, resumed by talking about upcoming city budgets. Tucker told department heads they need to get an earlier start on budgets than they did last year. Sitzman told the council that information she has received has indi-cated the city could see a budget increase of around 2.5 percent but that noth-ing is guaranteed.

Dixon and Beloat ques-tioned the council on their feelings regarding raises in their departments. The Council indicated that both longevity as well as a per-centage increase should be considered when raises are doled out for this year.

Tucker told department heads that budgets should be turned in to his offi ce on July 8 at 3 p.m. and the hearings will be held on July 10 at 9 a.m., all day, with July 11 also sched-uled only if they cannot get done with the hearings on July 10.

Festival Director and Founder, Christopher Layer, has been busy building a group of musicians from the worlds of Classical, Tradi-tional and Improvised music to come to Indiana to teach music and perform over six days of concerts, dancing, and jam sessions, in the his-toric town of New Harmony, Ind.

“The concerts are about sharing music with audi-ences who might go to see an Irish Fiddler in a pub, or hear a great violinist in a concert hall. We are bringing both of those ‘musics’ under one roof.” said Layer. “The concerts will be recorded for folks who want to buy the concert highlights afterward, and our concert on Saturday night, the 13 of July will be carried live on public radio. (Local listeners can tune in on 88.3 FM, WNIN Public Radio. The broadcast will be co-hosted by Fred Child, the host of Performance Today on American Public Me-dia. “Fred hosts Live From Carnegie Hall, and the opera broadcasts from Lincoln Cen-ter, so I imagine he will be able to handle our broadcast just fi ne,” says Layer.

The concerts kick-off Tues-day, July 9 with a free festival showcase at the Atheneum in New Harmony and closing night is Sat., July 13. Tick-ets will be available at each

concert venue, but seating in the venues is limited and tick-ets may be purchased online through the festival web site: www.newharmonyfest.com or by phone at 646-456-7762

“I just couldn’t believe it. I mean, there I was, standing in the Workingmen’s Insti-tute Library looking down at an original manuscript from the Fontleroy Family that probably arrived in New Harmony on The Boatload of Knowledge. The tunes inside the book were all correct for that period, and I knew we had to bring them back to life for the festival dance.” said NH music fest founder and director, Christopher Layer on his discovery of some hand-written music that WMI archivist/librarian, Steve Corcoran, showed Mr. Layer. The ‘Community Harmoni-sta Dance Band’ made up of the music festival faculty and students will perform several of those early pieces along with traditional Scottish and Irish dance tunes as a part of the old-time dance. Expert Dance caller and teacher, Su-sie Petrov, will lead the pub-lic through the simple circle and square dances and fami-lies are encouraged to attend the event.

The New Harmony Music Festival Old-Time Dance will take place on Thurs. July, 11 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are available on-line at www.newharmony-musicfest.com or at the door. Adults: $10 Children 12 and under are Free.

R. Scott Waddell, Commis-sioner of the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, issued the following statement: “We be-came aware of the possibility that the BMV could be over-charging drivers for an opera-tor’s license, and reviewed existing law to determine the exact breakdown of fees that make up the cost of an opera-tor’s license. We discovered a miscalculation resulting in a $3.50 discrepancy for the six, fi ve and four year standard operator’s licenses.

As a result, the charge for a standard six-year license will be $17.50, a fi ve-year license will be $16, and a four-year license will be $14.50 effec-tive immediately.”

Two men were hunting in Africa. As they were walk-ing across a shaky bridge, two lions started to chase them.

Realizing they may not make it, James said, “Pray, John!”

John, frightened, said, “All I can remember is: ‘Lord, make us truly grate-ful for what we’re about to receive.’”

“Not for the lions, John, for us!”

Sadly, it seems that most of the time when we call upon the Lord for His help, guidance, peace or com-fort, it is when we are fac-ing life’s biggest threats or problems. When life is pleasant and pleasurable we rarely pause to think about Him or thank Him for the good times. When diffi cul-ties arise and we call for help in a hurry, we may not know what to say or how to say it.

If we know how to pray when the sun shines, we will know how to pray when the storm comes.

Most of us have time to pray when we have major problems. We need to de-velop the habit of praying at all times, and soon we

will discover that ‘God is a very present help in times of trouble.’

New HarmonieHealthcare Center

“There can be no progress unless people have faith in tomorrow,” stated President John F. Kennedy. Terry Osborne, of New Harmony, is a true testament to this statement. After being hospitalized for several weeks for varied health issue, Terry resulted in a left leg above the knee amputation. He completed therapy in the hospital, and then made the decision to transition to New Harmonie Healthcare for outpatient therapy to continue his rehab process. He was admitted on February 4, 2013 and spent three days a week in ther-apy. Our primary goals were balance, gait, proper prosthesis application and wear. Im-mediately, he “hit the ground running,” and was ready to meet his challenges. On the fi rst day he was able to demonstrate leg application, and his ability to ambulate with a rolling walker. In the nature of Terry however, this wasn’t good enough. Through persistence, a lot of walking, balance on one leg, and climbing steps, he made signifi cant progress. At his time of discharge, he was walking with a straight cane, climbing up and down stairs and climbing into the backhoe that he is known for cruising around in. His wife JoAnn, gave the therapists this comment: “From 2012 to 2013, he is 100%!” Terry himself states that “If it wasn’t for the girls in therapy, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

Terry was determined, and therefore, returned to normal daily activities at home. At one point, he thought he would never drive his truck, his backhoe, or even walk without an assistive device. His thera-pists at New Harmonie Healthcare had every ounce of confi dence in him, and made him read the quote on the wall in the gym, “The journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single step.” He would frequent-ly read that, shake his head and return to his work in therapy. Debbie Morgan, Administrator, states “NHHC is so pleased to offer outpatient therapy to members of our community. We all celebrate in the success of Terry, he has worked so hard.” In the therapy gym, we agree and frequently use him as our “success story.” We say, rock on Terry, rock on!

By Pastor Matthew Wat-son, Mount Vernon Gen-eral Baptist Church

The unknowing or igno-rant are foolish – not because of their IQ levels but because of obstinacies toward God. They remain in their money pursuit (Matthew 23.17), do-ing not what they know to do (Matthew 7.26), sloth-fi lled (Luke 12.16-20), and unpre-pared (Matthew 25.1-13) for the day of the Lord. In bib-lical vernacular, ignorance is not bliss!

I invite you to read God’s word in Galatians 3.1-5. “3.1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucifi ed. 2 Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having be-gun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the fl esh? 4 Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 5 Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith (ESV Bible).” Here we fi nd God using a pastoral fi gure to call-out believers who are acting foolish. There is a difference

between the gospel they re-ceived and their behaviors and actions. “Foolish” is a word the ancients reserved for the short-sighted person (Proverbs 1.7, 10.14, 14.1, 14.15, 18.2, 20.3, 29.11; Ec-clesiastes 7.9). “Foolish” is a word used to describe those whose behaviors, busyness, and beliefs are not in line with faith.

First, behaviors. Long-terms you must question your life pattern against the gospel of Jesus Christ. Are my life patterns, however incom-plete, trending toward eterni-ty with the Lord? Do I value God’s words, in Scripture, as He’s shown them to us? Do I value them with increasing proportion? God’s words and His Spirit are linked and kin-dred. For the Christian, be-haviors need to be examined against the gospel witness in Scripture (Luke 24. 25-35, 42-49). When behaviors functionally deny the gospel, you need repent, that times of refreshing might come over your soul (Acts 3.20). It is foolish to remain in biblically condemnable behavioral ten-dencies.

Second, busyness. Pastor Mark Driscoll tweeted this on May 19, 2013: “If Satan can’t tempt us with sin and

error, he will simply try to exhaust us into surrender.” Is this true of you? Are your life patterns so foolishly busy that you have little margin to think theologically? When is the last time you took a Sab-bath stop-day of rest? When do you break your routine for family prayers and Bible study? When do you break long enough to sense the feel-ings of believers around you? Being “sense-fi lled” is the opposite of being “senseless” or foolish. Am I senseless (1 Timothy 6.3-12)? Busyness can produce foolish ones.

Third, beliefs. Beliefs are the underlying causes of fool-ishness. Tim Keller writes in his book Galatians for You, that we have “functional saviors” other than Christ. He writes these “functional saviors” may be comfort, ap-proval, or control. “When they are blocked, we get bit-ter. The answer is not simply trying harder…but rejoicing in the fi nished work of Christ (68-70)” on the cross! Don’t stop believing…says the old rock ballad. This is true for joyous Christian living. Un-dergirding deviant behavior and ultra-busyness is a belief problem. Galatians three uses the word “belief” seven times in near as many verses.

Foolishness is what once described us (Titus 3. 1-11). Foolishness is what we were when our heart said there was no God (Psalm 14.1). Fool-ishness was your life without believing in the power of the

cross of Christ (1 Corinthi-ans 1.18). Where have you stopped believing and behav-ing in line with the gospel? Could the plain-spoken call-out of Galatians 3.1,3 be used of God to re-align your life

today? I pray so. I hope so. Discipline of God’s children by God’s means is a blessing! Instead of the saying “Ig-norance is Bliss” we might rather adopt “Discipleship is Bliss!”

Sermon of the Week: Is Ignorance Bliss?

St. Philip Vacation Bible School

All preschool through sixth grade kids are invited to come to our Rock ‘n’ Roll with Je-sus Vacation Bible School on Saturday, July 20, 2013 at the Wadesville G.B. Church Fellowship Center located at 7421 Joest Road in Wades-ville.

Registration begins at 8:30 am. The day will be fi lled with music, crafts, bible lessons, recreation, and more. Snacks, drinks, and lunch will be pro-vided. Our Rock ‘n Roll with Jesus activities will wrap up at 3 p.m.

Along with a few other items, each child attending will receive a free lightweight Rock ‘n Roll With Jesus tote bag backpack.

It’s a fun time for both kids and adults as we enjoy our time together. All events, ex-cept for crafts, are outdoors. There is something very special about being outside experiencing and learning about God’s love for each of us. Without the constraints of walls, the kids are free to ex-press themselves in ways that can’t be done inside. It is no

secret that the adults love that freedom, as well. It makes for an amazing day that causes the kids to ask, “Are we com-ing back, tomorrow?”

If you would like to pre-register your child for VBS or if you have any questions, please leave a message on the church phone at 812-673-4660 or contact Darlene Johnson at 812-306-3313 or noteworthy@tds.net.

The Indiana FFA Associa-tion announced the election of the District X Offi cer Team for the 2013-2014 year at the 84th Annual Indiana FFA State Convention held June 18-20 at Purdue University.

By Dave PearceThe 2013 high school baseball season

may be history, but members of the North Posey Viking baseball team continue to re-ceive honors for their performances on and

off the fi eld. Last week the Indiana High School Baseball Coaches Association rec-ognized recent NP graduates Kyle Voegel and Colton Martin with post season awards.

The IHSBCA announced that Voegel had

been named to the 2013 Academic All – State Team, while Martin was named as an All – State outfi elder for the 2A team.

Voegel becomes the second North Posey player to be recognized as Academic All – State, following Matt Piechocki in 1999. He led the Vikings with a .435 batting average and added 29 runs scored and 21 RBI’s at the plate. The righthander showed his ver-satility by playing seven different positions through the course of the season and lead-ing North Posey with a 7 – 1 record on the mound. In fact, it was Voegel’s presence on the mound that helped the Vikings solidify their season.

“Kyle stepped up to stabilize our pitch-ing when we needed it,” commented North Posey coach Kevin Smith. “Kyle’s abil-ity to command his fastball and pound the strike zone allowed our defense to play at a positive pace, which also helped us gain a rhythm offensively. This is a tremendous honor for Kyle as it not only recognizes his skill on the diamond, but the dedication and work he put forth in the classroom. I could not be prouder of Kyle for earning this award.”

Joining Voegel on the Academic All – State team, from the area, were: Mitch Pow-ers and Bryson Jenkins of Castle; Sam Goad

and Branson Schroeder of Mater Dei; Zach-ary Dugan and Logan Mullen of Evansville North; and Ross Canada and River VanZant of Mount Vernon.

Martin’s recognition comes on the heels of being named to the Indiana South All – Star team after having an outstanding senior year at the plate. The centerfi elder posted team high numbers of 7 home runs and 46 RBI’s in helping the Vikings to a 19 win season.

“Colton is deserving of the recognition he has received this summer,” stated Smith. “He has worked very hard, while dedicating himself to improve his baseball skills over the past four plus years. There are a lot of players throughout the state that had a great season and for him to receive the honor of being named All – State is wonderful. I could not be prouder of him.”

Members of the 2A All – State Team in-clude:

•Catcher - Andy Roser, Sr, Northfi eld•First Base - Shea Beauchamp, Sr, Wabash•Second Base – Sean Fuller, Sr, Union

County•Third Base – Dakota Ware, Sr, Seeger•Shortstop – Logan Barnes, Sr, Taylor

Giving back is my way of saying “Thank you.”

Using consumer fi reworks on our nation’s birthday is as American as apple pie, backyard barbecues and parades on Main Street. And it is equally safe if a few common sense rules are followed, says Nancy Blogin, President of the National Council on Fireworks Safety. Nancy notes that thanks to testing of consumer fi reworks in China, through the American Fireworks Standards Laboratory and other testing programs, and rigorous enforcement of federal fi re-works regulations by the CPSC, consumer fi reworks today are safer than ever before. But Nancy notes that fi reworks related accidents do occur each year, however, most could be eliminated if some basic safety steps had been taken.

The National Council on Fireworks Safety offers these common sense safety tips for using consumer fi reworks in the hopes that injuries to consumers can be greatly reduced this season:

•Parents and caretakers should always closely supervise teens if they are using fi reworks.

•Parents should not allow young children to handle or use fi reworks.

•Fireworks should only be used outdoors.•Always have water ready if you are shooting fi reworks.•Know your fi reworks. Read the caution label before ig-

niting.•Obey local laws. If fi reworks are not legal where you

live, do not use them.•Alcohol and fi reworks do not mix.•Wear safety glasses whenever using fi reworks.•Never relight a “dud” fi rework. Wait 20 minutes and then

soak it in a bucket of water.•Soak spent fi reworks with water before placing them in

an outdoor garbage can.•Avoid using homemade fi reworks or illegal explosives:

They can kill you.•Report illegal explosives, like M-80s and quarter sticks,

to the fi re or police departmentAnd note these special safety tips, if using sparklers:•Always remain standing while using sparklers.•Never hold a child in your arms while using sparklers.•Never hold, or light, more than one sparkler at a time.•Never throw sparklers.•Sparkler wire and stick remain hot long after the fl ame

has gone out. Be sure to drop spent sparklers in a bucket of water.

•Teach children not to wave sparklers, or run, while hold-ing sparklers.

The National Council on Fireworks Safety urges Ameri-cans to follow these common sense safety rules this Fourth of July in their holiday celebrations.

The National Council on Fireworks Safety is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization whose sole mission is to educate the public on the safe and responsible use of consumer fi re-works. For a full list of consumer fi reworks safety tips and a safety video, please visitwww.FireworksSafety.org.

•Outfi elder – Judah Zickafoose, Jr, Westview•Outfi elder – Colton Martin, Sr, North Posey•Outfi elder – Larry Crisler, Jr, Bishop Noll• Pitcher – Ryan Keaffaber, Sr, Northfi eld• Pitcher – Cole Bartlett, Sr, HagerstownNote: Tyler Walsh of Mater Dei was named to the team as

the result of being drafted. South Spencer’s Nathan Keuster and Tyler Schneider were named honorable mention.

The awards increase the post season recognition for the North Posey baseball program which had three representa-tives on the Pocket Athletic Conference All – Conference team (Voegel, Martin, Alec Werry), one player named as Honorable Mention to the All – Conference squad (Tyler Stolz), two players placed on the IHSBCA All – District P Team (Voegel, Martin), and an Indiana South All – Star (Martin). The North Posey baseball coach hopes that the awards being bestowed on the program this summer helps to motivate future Viking players.

“There is no question in my mind that the recognition these young men have received is a direct result of the work and commitment each one made to become the best they could be,” Smith noted. “Further, the competition we have had within our roster of players the past two years has worked to push our athletes beyond their comfort zone, which has allowed them to become better athletes than they perhaps thought they would. I also believe in my heart and soul that good things come to those who put the team ahead of their own, individual desires. These young men have done that.”

Gavel Gamut’s: If a tree falls

GAVELGAMUT

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE

SPORTS EDITORSTEVE KOCHERSPERGER

sports@poseycountynews.com

Without a free and independent press, transparency and accountability are just cheap and cynical slogans. The American public depends on whistleblowers who will coura-geously expose government corruption and independent journalists who report the facts.

During this extraordinary time in our na-tion’s history, as Americans come face to face with our government’s vast capabilities in a digital age, recent reporting on informa-tion provided by whistleblowers reminds us of journalism’s essential role in democracies. Additionally, the unsettling revelation that the Department of Justice recently targeted journalists with The Associated Press and

Fox News makes the need for common-sense protections inescapably clear. It’s time for Congress to pass and President Barack Obama to sign the Free Flow of Information Act.

Enshrined in the First Amendment, free-dom of speech and the press form the bed-rock of our experiment in self-government. Thomas Jefferson’s admonition that ‘our lib-erty depends on the freedom of the press’ is as true today as it was two centuries ago. As a conservative, I believe that a free and in-dependent press provides the most swift and effective check on government power.

The free fl ow of information ensures that

powerful public offi cials are held account-able to the men and women who chose them. The public’s right to know is essential to a country of, by and for the people.

Unfortunately, these freedoms are under attack. Just last month, Americans discov-ered that Obama’s DOJ secretly obtained two months of phone calls of reporters and edi-tors for the AP. Additionally, we’ve learned that the DOJ named a Fox News reporter a ‘co-conspirator’ in an investigation and At-torney General Eric Holder personally ap-proved the seizure of the journalist’s personal emails. Regrettably, these two cases are part of a growing trend, as Holder has used the Espionage Act of 1917 to target more offi -cials for alleged leaks than any previous ad-ministration combined.

The recent revelations notwithstanding, while the number of investigations grows, the number of whistleblowers is quickly fading. As Politico reported recently, many reporters have noted that the administration’s crack-down is preventing the fl ow of information. Without the assurance that journalists will not be forced to reveal their sources, there’s little reason to believe that the chill on inves-tigative journalism will end. That’s why I am proud to co-sponsor legislation that Indiana Gov. Mike Pence introduced and championed during his service in Congress and has been reintroduced by Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas).

The Free Flow of Information Act is a common-sense solution designed to en-sure real transparency and accountability in Washington. This media shield legislation

defends our First Amendment freedoms by protecting journalists from being forced to reveal their confi dential news sources in fed-eral proceedings. By setting clear criteria that provide privilege for reporters, except in cru-cial cases of national security, we can strike a balance between the public’s right to know and the government’s proper execution of the law.

The bill does not give reporters a spe-cial permit to break the law, and it certainly doesn’t allow the media to stand between prosecutors and criminals. It simply gives journalists the ability to report appropriate information to the public, free from govern-ment intimidation. The idea is simple — re-porters should report and law enforcement should enforce the laws.

Forty-nine states, including Indiana, have already adopted common-sense media shield laws, and it’s time for the federal government to join them. Congress should pass and the president should sign the Free Flow of Infor-mation Act to make sure that the DOJ focuses on putting criminals behind bars instead of harassing journalists.

Washington’s power comes from the American people. Our experiment in self-government will thrive as long as men and women are able to make informed decisions about their leaders and the direction of their county. Americans have a right to a free and independent press. Our Founding Fathers secured that right more than 200 years ago. Today, we have an obligation to carry on that legacy of freedom for future generations.

A free fl ow of information crucial to our democracy

When Toyota Motor Corp. announced plans back in 1995 to build a plant near Princ-eton, Ind., it represented a tremendous shot in the arm for Gibson County and the entire Tri-State. The $700 million facility opened in 1998, resulting in about 1,300 new jobs. And if Toyota had never expanded the plant beyond that initial investment, it still would have been a huge economic success story for the area.

But expand Toyota has. Today the Gib-son County plant employs about 4,700, and through its taxes, Toyota has paid back the state of Indiana’s initial $19.8 million invest-ment and the county’s original $39.5 million investment in infrastructure.

Multiple additions to the plant have con-tributed to population and housing growth in Northern Vanderburgh County and Gibson County, as evidenced by the creation of a new, state-of-the-art North High School cam-pus in northern Vanderburgh County. Simply put, Toyota has changed the entire landscape – and economy – of the region.

Nearly two decades later, Posey County has a chance to experience a similar eco-nomic transformation thanks to the hard work and perseverance of county offi cials and eco-nomic development personnel who helped at-tract a $1.8 billion fertilizer plant to the area. Backed by a multi-continental contingent of investors, the new Midwest Fertilizer plant is expected to employ around 700 while helping to create another 500 ancillary jobs. Construc-tion of the plant could also result in as many

as 2,500 construction jobs. And according to projections from the

Hoosier Energy Economic Development Project Assessment System, the total econom-ic impact of the new Midwest Fertilizer plant on the area over the next decade will exceed $8.7 billion.

This much needed boost to Posey County (and the Tri-State as a whole) would not have been possible without the passion, dedication and community vision of the Posey County Commissioners, Posey County Council and Posey County Economic Development Part-nership, which enabled the project to move forward. The recommendation of the Eco-nomic Development Commission and sub-sequent endorsement by the county council to reissue $1.3 billion in bonds to fi nance the project showed great community leadership and representation of their constituents.

Will Midwest Fertilizer ultimately end up being as impressive a corporate citizen and as strong an investor in Posey County as Toyota Motor Manufacturing has been in Gibson County? Only time will tell.

One thing we do know is that Posey County offi cials and economic development leaders, through their proactive, determined focus on economic growth, have given our local com-munity a strong chance to experience a true economic transformation during the years to come.

For that, we should be grateful. And they should be commended.

Guest Column State Rep. Wendy McNamara

The founding vision of our nation has al-ways been the quest for and preservation of the precious values of freedom and liberty. As I travel throughout our community, I see the symbolism of this quest. Covering our land-scape, homes and businesses proudly display patriotic themes and the fl ag of the United States.

The desire of our community to honor the values of freedom and liberty through writings, speeches and public events is strong and evi-dent. The struggle to preserve these freedoms and liberties is not lost on Southern Indiana. This week we honor the struggles for freedom and liberty that the American colonists fought for and American’s continue to fi ght for today.

What makes the American Revolution so special in history is that never before had sub-jects broken away from their monarchy rule in order to form a republic. The founding fathers believed that people had natural rights that came from God, not from government. Among

those unalienable rights are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That whole concept was, as the war’s title suggests, revolutionary.

Over America’s 237 year history, we have fought to preserve those basic freedoms for ourselves. We have also sacrifi ced blood and treasure to break the heavy chains of tyranny and oppression in other lands, so that people can share in the freedom we hold so dear.

As we celebrate the holiday this year, keep in mind that the Fourth of July is not just a birthday. It is not just a celebration of the physical location in which we call home. The Fourth of July is a celebration of the values of freedom and liberty that make America unique and exceptional in its place among the nations.

Our nation is so much more than a set of borders. It is a dream and it is a purpose. As the next 237 years of American history is written, it is my most sincere hope that we continue our proud heritage and identity as a symbol of free-dom that shines brightly for all to see.

America is a symbol of freedom

Among the timeless issues is the ques-tion: If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound? Or as my wife, Peg, sometimes ponders: “If Jim says something and I am not there to hear him, is he still wrong?”

I puzzled upon such thorny matters when I read Iris Reyn-olds’ kind remarks about an article I wrote two weeks ago concerning the precarious state of the Separation of Powers due to pervasive government spying upon Americans.

That article and the tongue-in-cheek fol-low up article included fears that one of our greatest dangers is citizen apathy about our loss of civil rights. It is one thing to fi nd out our government may be out of control. It is quite another not to care.

So it was encouraging to read Miss Iris’ letter to the editor in which she made it clear she is aware and she certainly cares. As an aside, in the genteel atmosphere left over from the good part of the Old South and Southwest that pervaded my Oklahoma childhood, we usually referred to ladies of

discernment as ‘Miss.’ I realize some of you may think I grew up in Ante-Bellum times.

However, let’s return to the task at hand which is the written proof that someone other than Peg actually reads Gavel Gamut. Since my fi rst column in 1990 to this one there have been way over four hundred. Until Miss Iris, no one had ever ad-mitted in print to reading one.

I hope she is not ostracized for what some might fi nd to be a lapse of judgment.

On the other hand, I did note that some of mine and Miss Iris’ concerns were voiced by Angela Geralds, editor of the Mount Vernon Democrat, Dave Pearce, editor of the Posey County News and the Evansville Bar Asso-ciation in an opinion piece in the June 27, 2013 Evansville Courier Press. It is good to look behind you and see the intellectual ar-rows aimed past your back toward the real enemy, our own government’s misguided priorities.

Maybe with such good citizens as these we can remind the judges, legislators and executives we pay them to work for us, not spy on us.

It is a tough time for anyone who does not like change. Everything seems to be in a con-stant state of turmoil.

Just in the past few days alone, we have had the episode with Food Show host Paula Deen losing sponsorship because of her admitting to use the ‘n’ word at some time in her life.

Then there’s the case of the multi-millionaire professional athlete’s arrest and subsequent charges of involvement in at least one, possibly as many as three murders.

Then there’s the case(s) against the already-distrusted Internal Revenue Service. It appears the powers that be have been picking and choosing who they want to audit. And sur-prisingly (said with full sarcasm), they have picked on conservative groups or tea party members.

Then there’s the information that has be-come public knowledge that our federal gov-ernment has been spying on the citizens of America. Our government seems to think they know more about what we need to think, say, and do than we do, as individuals.

And even more locally, our friends from the ACLU have stepped in to fi le a lawsuit on be-half of two of the Evansville Metropolitan Ar-ea’s 200,000 people. Their lawsuit will cost the taxpayers of Evansville a lot of money, wheth-er they win or lose. Who gives this trouble-making organization the right to sue because children in a Vacation Bible School want to display the crosses they made along the river-front for a few days. Everything else has been displayed there, why are they so worried about that? I remember a couple of years ago when those hideous paintings of fi sh were displayed along the river. I didn’t think they were attrac-tive but I certainly didn’t think about a lawsuit to keep them from being displayed.

I obviously have some thoughts about the things that have been happening. I think it is well past time that someone stand up for their own freedoms and rights, while it is still an

option.Even as a small child, I always wondered

exactly who was in charge of establishing the code of what words were ‘bad’ words. But as time went on, I learned that really no one was in charge and that in a nation with freedom of speech, there was apparently no rules or regu-

lations on what words could be spoken and what words could not. Apparently I have been wrong.

The fuss over and attempted destruction of Paula Deen is a travesty. In a country where free speech is at the core of our values, who put the ‘n’

word on a ‘Do Not Say’ list? I don’t necessar-ily condone the use of the word but there are dozens of other words that I don’t condone as well, and no one has ever been up in arms over those words.

When I was a child, there was the ‘A’ word that sometimes was used instead of the words rearend or butt. If muttered within the hear-ing of one our school teachers, we found out about another word or two…corporal punish-ment. That’s where you got your butt beat with a small board for being disrespectful and using words that showed you had no respect for other people.

Then as I grew a little older, I learned about the ‘F’ word and heard people referring to each other as ‘MF.’ I’ve watched as a culture and so-ciety have lost respect for themselves and each other. I’ve listened as people have used the ‘B’ word to describe each other. I don’t like it but I’m not going to be able to stop usage of words that I don’t want to hear. The words are adjec-tives and regardless of how disrespectful, peo-ple are still going to use them. Please explain to me what makes the ‘N’ word any worse than any of those other words? On second thought, don’t waste your time or your breath.

Paula simply uttered the truth about use of the word and she is paying a price. She could have lied but she didn’t. Apparently most have never read where the Bible says ‘Let he who

is without sin cast the fi rst stone,’ because the stoning has already begun.

I sincerely believe that freedom as we have known it in America is headed south. Everyone is worried about everything being fair. Wake up people. Nothing is perfectly fair. Some peo-ple are born with better looks, prettier hair, bet-ter voices, more height, less height, more fat, less fat, longer arms, shorter arms, mental and physical challenges…and obviously, I could go on. Life is much like a game of cards, you play the hand you are dealt. You do the best with what you have.

In closing, here’s my advice.1. You’re not going to stop people from us-

ing words you don’t want to hear. Get over it. As I saw on Facebook this week, “Put on your ‘big boy’ or ‘big girl’ pants and get past it.” If you don’t like it, don’t say it.

2. Overpaid millionaire athletes are overrat-ed. They, along with Hollywood’s celebrities, have become idols to us. Do the things ‘you’ know to be right. All humans, including close friends and relatives, will let you down. The only one you answer for at the end of the day is yourself.

3. The Internal Revenue Service should be ashamed and many heads should roll. Remem-ber never to trust anyone who says ‘We’re from the government and we are here to help.’

4. Since our government seems to think it is okay to listen in on our conversations, let’s give them something to talk about. Perhaps we older folks can use them as a back-up system for remembering all the passwords we now have. If you forget one, just ask the federal government to help you out. Apparently they know them all.

5. The ACLU needs to fi nd a real problem to worry about. North Korea is threatening to nuke parts of the world, millions are dying around the world of hunger, wars are taking thousands of lives every day, the U.S. unem-ployment rate is nearly ten percent, scores go to bed at night on the streets of America without a roof or clothing.

Open your eyes and see a real problem and do what you can to solve it. If you do, you won’t have to worry about a few kids in Bible School wanting to display the crosses they designed.

Some people just have too much time on their hands.

Posey Leaders sould be commended
