Hi there and welcome back to

in Gibson County

Yes, we’re back and there are other people “back” as well - many folks are “back” from vacation, others are getting ready for “back” to school and the Fair was “back” in town. This issue offers a look back on the county fair and all the hard work the 4-H kids devoted to their projects. If you didn’t get to go, here’s a chance to see a glimpse of what you missed.

The weather’s been bright and sunny lately, just perfect for outdoor cooking. You can get some new grilling ideas if you check out the Cooking Corner. Since this is a recap of the fair, it’s only fitting that Behind the Scenes tells the story of a local favorite - The Nutty Bar Stand. With so many heading back to school, Business Today is about a program in our schools called Youth First.

With so many “photo ops” available and only so much space, feel free to check our Facebook page for more pictures and random updates. I try to be social.

Grab a glass of something cold, find a spot in the shade and see what’s been going on around the county. Ya just never know.

Highlights of the Fair & 4-H

Story and photos Jancey Smith

Rodeo Night at the Fair

It’s come and now gone, the 163rd Gibson County Fair. It was a hot and busy week, as always. The work for both the fair board and the 4-H kids started long before the event itself. It takes months of planning, budgeting and effort to be ready for a week-long event for any organization.

The fair board spent months working on some major projects. The old concession stands came down and new ones, equipped with kitchens, fans and greatly increased seating were erected. The merchants and other buildings were then painted to match so that It looked very modern and well maintained. The fair patrons as well as the vendors were pleased with the update.

The 4-H kids start on their projects and begin raising

their critters months in advance.

For many, it’s hours of time and commitment. If there’s an animal of any kind involved, it means daily food, water and care. But during the week of the fair, it’s constant care away from home.

Ashely McBryde Some families nearly live in the Photo: Kelli Nidey livestock barn. There are coolers, lawn chairs and accessories set about so that it’s almost a country-style tail gate party for farm families.

It’s definitely a family affair, which is not a bad thing at all. There were many moms and dads helping carry projects into the exhibit building to be placed on show for the county. One mom also commented on how her son

and his grandpa worked on the wood project together.

Those are memories that will last forever.

The biggest draw at the grandstands this year was the return of the rodeo. The stands were packed and cheers could be heard throughout the grounds. Pickup trucks lined the infield and there were more boots and cowboy hats in one place and that just radiated the feel of country. On Friday night, it was a country girl that did the singing. Ashley McBryde was a real down-to-earth crowd pleaser. She even stayed after the concert to talk to the crowd and take pictures. What a nice thing to do.

One of the biggest draws on the other side of the fairgrounds was the auction and 4-H awards.

The swine show always brings a crowd.

The pavilion was packed almost elbow to elbow as the kids received awards for their animals, 10 years of membership and showmanship, to name the highlights. Their eyes sparkled, parents were all grins, as cell phones snapped pictures and then the bidding began. The champion animals were paraded and sold to local patrons that support our county youth. It’s a win for everyone.

It wasn’t all work for the kids with critters. They got to have some fun competing against each other during the Barnyard Olympics and in the Horse and Pony Games toward the end of the week. Teams of 4-H kids pair up against each other in games like a sponge toss Last year’s Mini Miss, Addi Robbins, with the help of Queen Emily Scott, passed out awards.

and hoola-hoop race in their “Olympics”.

There were more laughs than wins.

It’s also quite a sight to see kids on a horse with a spoon Calf roping is always a rodeo favorite. in their hands carrying an egg. It was not an easy task to keep the egg in place as the horses were put through various tasks.

One of the funniest sights had to be the kids who had to race each other during the pony games that couldn’t blow a bubble. Yes, it was a game of racing your horse down to a chair where you had to blow a bubble with fresh bubble gum then run back. It was harder than one would have thought. It was also entertaining to see the Fair Queen and her court on big bouncy balls racing around an object like at a rodeo. It was barrel racing gone silly.

There was plenty of entertainment at the fair. Yes, the tractor pulls, demo derby and motocross were the other grandstand attractions, but there was plenty of local talent elsewhere. Local music talent was featured on Carnaby Stage. Local bands (our friends and neighbors) got to play for the crowd. There was a magician and wood carver that amused both kids and adults near the midway.

And of course there was the food - those treats that we look forward to each year. As you read further in this issue, you will find a nice little story on one of our local treats - The Nutty Bar Stand. There is also a sample of pictures throughout that will give you a glimpse of just some of the events and people. They’re our neighbors and our kids, so enjoy. But check Facebook and the website for pictures that wouldn’t fit into print. Until next year - here’s to another one in the books.

Thank you all for your efforts.

Backyard Birds

By Guest Writer, Shawn Keith

Since the season for our Eastern Bluebird family is winding down I thought I would update you on their progress in my backyard. Mr. and Mrs. built a very nice neat nest: a perfectly shaped round nest with each piece of grass and pine needle carefully placed. In the next few days there were four beautiful light blue eggs in the nest. Mr and Mrs Bluebird were the proud parents of four little eggs. About two weeks later there were four little fuzzy fellas with hungry tummies.The Eastern Bluebird will raise their young in about 21 days, in which time I looked in on them and they were gone. The nest was no longer that pristine neatly constructed work of art. It was now a flattened, soiled matt. The young will fly out on their maiden voyage to a nearby tree or bush where they will strengthen their wings, but continue to be fed by the parents until they can fend for themselves which is normally a week or so.

Once the little ones are on their own the husband and wife are not seen around for a couple of weeks. Due to the feeding of their youngsters, I am sure a short rest is in order.

Within week two of the young ones leaving the nest box there may be new nest construction under way very soon. A responsible bluebird landlord must remove the

old nest for a couple of reasons. The first reason is to clean out any parasites in the nest box such as blowfly larvae or mites. Both of these parasites can be detrimental to their growth. After cleaning out the old nest I saw no signs of infestation in the nest box. The second reason to clean out the old nest is if the new nest is built on top of the old nest, it won’t be as far down in the box. This increases the chances of a predator reaching in through the hole and being able to grab a young one or eggs.

I checked a few days later on the empty box and found a few dried pieces of grass. The beginning of a new nest by our industrious parents getting ready for round two was under way. About four days later I looked in on the nest construction progress and it was done.

Just as before, the nest was perfectly constructed in a perfect cup shape of fine pieces of dried grass and pine needles.

About a week later I looked in the nest box to see if egg laying had begun and yes, there they were four perfectly arranged light blue eggs. Egg laying was done for round two. Spring was well underway with plenty of insects to feed this new brood because a couple of weeks later they all hatched and things were going well.

Again just as before they were being fed by both parents.

Staying very busy trying to keep up with their babies it always seems as if the second brood grows a lot quicker and then they are gone before you know it. There is the empty nest again all flat and mashed down and well used. It served its purpose. It kept the little fellas warm and dry in the safety of the nest cup but as they grow they become too large for the nest cup. Through the excitement of each one trying to be the next one fed the nest gets walked on and mashed down. Of course the parents try to keep up with house cleaning but as the young ones grow it gets harder to keep up with hungry mouths.

As I look back, I was waiting for the bluebird season to begin, thinking it would never warm up and spring would never arrive. It is now over. I see my bluebirds around occasionally and even more often I hear them giving their soft whistle. I smile to myself with some pride that I gave them a place to raise their family that they found safe and adequate for the task. I will clean out the nest box for the final time this season, take it down and put it away. Next year when late January rolls around, I will put it up where Mr. and Mrs. Bluebird will again start scouting for a place to raise their family.

As the Vet Says -

-Dr. Marybeth Feutz, Princeton Veterinary Hospital

You Asked - When Should I Vacciante My Puppy (or Kitten)?

Aren’t puppies and kittens so much fun? They are little bouncy furballs of energy, and they are just so adorable!

In addition to being such cute little fluff balls, puppies and kittens need a little extra care. Did you know that puppies and kittens both need to start getting vaccines when they are 4 weeks old? Our little furry friends have a baby immune system they got from their moms that will protect them for a little while. By the time puppies and kittens are about 4 weeks old, they start to outgrow their baby immune system and need some help developing their own.

That’s where vaccines come in!

At a minimum, puppies should get their distemper vaccine and kittens should get their FVRCCP vaccine

C ompassionate care for all animals, LARGE and small

every 4 weeks, starting at 4 weeks old, until they are 4-5 months old. These vaccines each protect against multiple diseases – including parvo for puppies – that can be very dangerous (even fatal) for our new furry family members.

When your puppy or kitten is 4-5 months old, they will need a rabies vaccine. Depending on where you live and what your pet’s “job” will be, your veterinarian may also recommend other vaccines to help keep your pet healthy.

It may seem like a lot of time spent at the vet for a little while, but these regular veterinary visits are very important. It gives your veterinarian an opportunity to give your new little guy regular physical examinations, make sure they are growing well, do not appear to have any health problems, and can answer any questions you have about raising and training a puppy or kitten!

Have you seen our new website? Our site has a brand-new shiny redesign! Visit us at PrincetonVet.net, check it out, and let us know what you think!

Do you have a new puppy or kitten? We can help! Call the Princeton Veterinary Hospital at 812-385-2733 if you have any questions or are ready to bring your puppy or kitten in for their vaccines. We always accept new patients!

Gardening Goodies Philodendron (Philo)

by Guest Writer, Kevin Smith

Last month our plant article was about ‘pothos’, which is a cousin to the philodendron. So as not to create a family ‘spat’ this month, the plant article is about the philodendron.

The philo has been a mainstay in homes for many, many years. Who remembers grandma having a philo in her parlor or living room?

The name philodendron comes from the Greek word ‘philo’ (Love) and ‘dendron’(tree). Philos come from the rain forests of South America.

Philo care is easy because if you watch for the signs, the plant itself will tell you exactly what it needs. So whether you’re an experienced plant grower or someone who wants to get started growing houseplants, the philo might be just the right ‘beginner plant’ for you.

Sunlight-Philos like to be placed in bright, indirect sunlight. The philo will let you know if it’s getting enough light or not. It’s normal for older leaves to yellow however, if this happens with several/many of the leaves, then your philo is getting too much light.

However, if the stems/vines become long and leggy, with several inches between the leaves, your philo probably isn’t getting enough light.

Water-Water your philo when the top inch of soil drys out between waterings. The length of your index finger to the first knuckle is about an inch, so inserting your finger into the soil is a good way to check the soil’s moisture level.

Droopy leaves can mean that the plant is getting too much or not enough water.

Fertilizer-Fertilize your philo using a good all purpose fertilizer. Follow the directions on the container and fertilize your philo every other week, in place of the usual watering. Begin fertilizing your philo starting in June and continue through September.

Philos are an easy plant to propagate. Doing so can also be a fun and educational activity for the kids. Take a sharp knife and cut approximately six - eight or more, sections of the vines. Cut those sections into 5”- 6” pieces. At this point, there are two ways to propagate these cuttings. Get a 4”- 5” sized pot and put a layer of pebbles, rocks or packing peanuts in the bottom for drainage. Using a good all purpose potting soil, fill the pot up to about half an inch from the top of the pot. Take your finger and create a hole in the center of the soil about 1 1/2”- 2” deep. With your philo cuttings in a little bundle, stick the ends down in this hole you created.

Firmly but gently pack the soil around these cuttings.

Then water and place the pot in a lighted area. Keep the soil moist, and within a month or so you should see growth.

The other way to propagate, philos (for me, this is the surest way) is to take those 4”- 5” cuttings and put them in a glass of water and place this glass of cuttings in a bright sunny place. Change the water in the glass about once a week to keep the water fresh for the cuttings. In about three - four weeks you should see small hair like roots appear. After about six -eight weeks you should see several roots. At this time(or you can wait another two - four weeks) take the rooted cuttings and plant as described above. You can plant all the cuttings in one pot to create a really full pot of philos OR pot one or two in a pot. This way you could share the ‘philo-love’ with others around you.

B usiness T oday Story by guest writer Carolyn Cochren

As always during the summer, school districts in Gibson County have been in the process of getting all personnel in place before the beginning of the school year. One of many personnel positions to have in place when school starts is to have guidance counselors and school social workers in each of the schools. As financial resources in all schools are limited, the schools in Gibson County have collaborated and teamed with Youth First to assist their schools with the addition of school social workers.

Youth First was founded in 1998. The organization is based in Evansville and serves the Southwest region of Indiana. Their mission is to strengthen youth and families by providing programs on substance abuse and promoting healthy behaviors by students.

Ms. Parri Black, President and CEO of Youth First, said that when first founded the organization’s goal was for early intervention for students at risk, and to partner with schools to bring the mental health culture and educational culture together. Youth First provides specialized mentors for kids. These mentors are the school social workers who act as prevention specialists. The school social worker assists school counselors with early intervention approaches to many risk factors that some students exhibit. Students may be referred to the school social worker by either a teacher, administrator, or the school guidance counselor. The school social worker is a necessary connection between the student, the school, family, and community.

East Gibson School Corporation Superintendent, Dr. Mike Brewster, shared that his corporation connected with Youth First several years ago. He stated that their school social worker has a close working relationship with the Wood Memorial High School and Jr. High School principal and guidance department, and the social worker can also reach out to

The Business of Education

Youth First: Connecting with Gibson County Schools the district elementary schools. Dr. Brewster commented that it is really a great program for their schools as the school social worker can assist their guidance department by reaching out to more students who may be considered high risk.

North Gibson School Corporation Assistant Superintendent, Dr. Eric Goggins, explained their district’s relationship with Youth First. “They have a social worker at Princeton Community High School and will have another social worker on board when school starts who will work with Princeton Community Middle School and the Intermediate School.”

Dr. Goggins stated that the partnership with Youth First helps to finance the hiring of the social workers. “The Criminal Justice System has a Safe Haven Grant that we apply for each year. This grant provides approximately $16,000 which is a portion of the costs to hire a social worker. The cost of a social worker falls somewhere between $32,000 and $36,000. Youth First pays 60 percent of the costs and we pick up the remaining 40 percent.”

South Gibson School Corporation Superintendent, Dr. Stacey Humbaugh, described their relationship with Youth First by stating, “We love Youth First and the support they give us!”

There are two school social workers in the district. One school social worker is located at Gibson Southern High School and the other school social worker divides time between all three of South Gibson’s K-8 buildings. The high school has a program called, “Reconnecting Youth,” and the elementaries have a program called, “Strengthening Families.” These two intervention programs provide additional support for students.

Area Cadets Attended Great Lakes

Veteran’s Voice

Photo & information submitted

I’m excited this month to tell you about a couple of upcoming veterans’ events that I think you’ll find interesting and useful. The first, graciously sponsored by Congressman Larry Buschon, is a Veterans’ Seminar and Resource Fair to be held Wednesday, August 8th, from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm. This event will be held in Evansville at the Old Post Office Event Center and is open to all, veteran or not. There will be a wide variety of information and services provided to veterans that day, most notably an explanation of the Appeals Modernization process by the Chairman of the Board of Veterans Appeals. This should prove to be an interesting and informative look at the VA’s attempts to streamline the appeals process and reduce the backlog of current appeals.

The second is a remembrance ceremony for Captain Aaron Fisher, the most highly decorated black WWI soldier from Indiana. Aaron, originally from Lyles Station, served 37 years in the Army and was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and French Croix de Guerre for his courageous actions during WWI. The ceremony, hosted by the Indiana WWI Centennial Commission and the Indiana Daughters of the American Revolution, will be held Monday, September 3rd, at 1:00 pm at the Lyles Station Historic School and Museum.

Please consider coming out and joining us in honoring the memory of this true Hoosier hero.

Lastly, I wanted to share with you how pleased I was at the Gibson Co. Fair. For the first time in the history of this office, we had a booth at the fair and were able to talk to a multitude of folks about how this office might be able to serve them. It was a great success and I eagerly look forward to next year.

Windows 7 Users: Plan Ahead!

What’s your favorite kind of surprise?

You, like all of us, prefer the kind that bring us joy and happiness. Like unwrapping a gift on your birthday or waking up to find that your significant other made you breakfast.

But in life, among your good surprises, you’re sure to get your fair share (or more) of unpleasant and unwelcome surprises.

I’m writing this article to inform you of and help you avoid such an unpleasant surprise in January 2020 – something you need to seriously plan for right now.

I know it’s a long way off, but it’s important you consider the information I’m sharing with you so you can see the unfortunate surprise headed your way in 2020 and plan ahead.

It’s my duty as a proactive IT professional to alert you to such unwelcome surprises and keep your computer in perfect shape no matter what threats it may face.

Right now, that threat is Windows 10, bringing with it the unwelcome cost of computer upgrades or replacements.

Microsoft’s looming deadline I’ve long argued everyone should continue using Windows 7 because it’s a more user-friendly, less problematic, less invasive operating system than Windows 10.

Unfortunately, as of right now, Microsoft will be ending support and updates for Windows 7 on January 20, 2020.

The end of support for Windows 7 means that all your computers need to be running the Windows 10 operating system on or before January 20, 2020.

Using a Windows 7 computer after January 20, 2020, will leave your personal information stored on your computer left wide open to infection, theft, and compromise.

In my professional opinion, Windows 10 remains a flawed operating system. It does have its good points, but overall, it’s more problematic than Windows 7.

Page 14

But with that said, an updated, fully supported Windows 10 computer is a far better and safer computer to use than a Windows 7 computer after January 20, 2020, left wide open to an Internet full of hackers and thieves.

Replace or upgrade?

So what should you do? Can you upgrade? Do you need a new computer?

Without knowing your specific computer information, I can’t provide exact guidance for you.

But as a rule of thumb, if your computer is older than 5 years, you will probably need to replace the computer.

Why? We’ve seen older computers accept the earlier versions of Windows 10, but when Microsoft released the Fall Creators Update last October or the April 2018 Update, the hardware on the computer was no longer compatible. Thus, the computer wouldn’t run the latest version, which is necessary to keep the information in your computer safe and protected.

Your older computer may be able to squeeze by running Windows 10 now, but even we don’t know when Microsoft will release another huge overhaul to the operating system, rendering your computer either inoperable if you update or vulnerable if you don’t.

However, if your computer is less than 5 years old, you can probably upgrade it.

Keep in mind though, an upgrade will typically require purchasing a copy of the Windows 10 operating system, backing up any important files on your current computer, erasing everything off of it, and reinstalling every program and device and restoring your data files – a very time intensive and sometimes costly process.

The hard truth Yes, your investment to prepare for Windows 10 can quickly add up to more than you ever wanted to spend on your computers.

But I will never, ever tell you to spend your money when you don’t need to. I don’t enjoy bringing such unfortunate news like this to my clients.

But Microsoft leaves no other choice: upgrade to Windows 10 or face the consequences.

I wanted to give you this heads up long before action is needed, so that you can consider all your options and save up for your new computer.

Feel free to call our office at (812) 386-8919 if you have any questions.We’ll be glad to help!

Summer Lunches That Help

Over 50 volunteers came to help give the park a facelift.

St. Joseph School offered lunches during the summer.

Project “Rediscover Wirth Park�, spearheaded by Susie Basham, has been successful. Locals painted the equipment and buildings, made repairs and volunteered their time to make the park The Backyard Boys served some BBQ welcoming.

and donated proceeds towards the park.

Bob Zasandy and Charlotte Grey offered their talents to help.

The summer lunch program called “Caring for Kids,� ended August 2nd. Two days a week, all children, of any income level were provided the opportunity to have lunch at four Princeton locations.

There are many volunteers for this state funded program, but for six years, Jeannie Robbins has organized these meals that fed 75100 children each day. Watch for details at the end of the school year.

The Cooking That M agicalSound Corner

Years back in a movie, Clint Eastwood made a statement to his group of misfit soldiers that went something like this, . . . (after shooting a gun over their heads) . . . “That’s the sound of an AK47, the preferred gun of your enemy, know the sound of it.” This statement came to mind the other night when we heard the distinct sounds of pop, pop, pop. My enemy had appeared - an empty gas tank in the middle of grilling.

A few of the kids were home and we were planning on a mass grilling. I had bacon wrapped pork chops and chicken on a stick in line for meat choices and since local produce was starting to pop veggie kabobs were also in store. The kids offered up the true food experiment of the night - stuffed grilled portobellos. I’ve eaten that type of mushroom on occasion, but have never tried to grill them.

After what seemed hours of prep work, from marinating, to slicing and skewering, we were finally underway. The grill was hot, the veggie kabobs that had marinated in Italian dressing were on the top rack

of the grill since they’d already attained enough char (yeah, he almost burnt them again.) The cajun marinated chops were on their final flip and crab stuffed portobellos were ready to be placed over to the side, when fate arrived.

I had just gone in for a serving platter, when I made the comment of not believing how much gas we’d gotten out of that tank, when the hubby sauntered in and said, “I’ve got good news and bad news.” I shot him “the look” and he continued. “The good news is that the chops are done, the bad news is I heard that pop, pop, pop.”

Well just lovely. I started spraying casserole dishes while the oven was preheating. Plan B was about to commence, to the oven we go. Everything turned out just fine after cooking a bit longer in foil-covered pans (to retain moisture). Dinner was a little later than planned and a whole lot messier than I had envisioned, but it was deemed a success never the less.

If you’d like to try and recreate our dining adventure here were the best laid plans.

Veggie Kabobs

1 medium zucchini, peeled, halved lengthwise and cut in 1inch chunks 1 large onion, halved and then quartered (8 - 10 chunks) 1 large green bell pepper, halved and then quartered (8 - 10 chunks) 5-6 wooden skewers, soaked for 30 minutes 1/2 cup Italian dressing

Travel Tidbits - My Time in Germany Pt. 3

Guest writer, Charlotte Gray

Cultural Lessons

One couple lived in Wurtzberg and he was the equivalent of a state trooper. They could both speak English but insisted we speak German when we visited. English was a required subject in school for all children so most could speak some English. They also picked it up from the Americans who had been there since W.W.II. We became such good friends, they asked us to be their two young daughters Godparents. That was a great honor since we were Protestant and they were Catholic.

On the big day, the children were paraded through the streets with a Catholic Cardinal leading the way, then taken to a fifteenth century church for the dedication. It was an elaborate ceremony, each child with their Godparent taken to the alter to be dedicated to God. The kneeling benches in that church were worn half into where people throughout the ages had knelt to worship. It made one wonder if any one famous had been there, maybe a king or knight!

I visited many castles and factories. My favorites were the Chrystal, Candle

and Hummel. I also enjoyed antique shops where there was a lot of W.W.II memorabilia for sale.

One of my favorite things was to help pick grapes. The vineyards would offer free lodging and all you could eat and drink in return.

The grapes were planted on the steepest hills they could find and it was a challenge just to stay upright while picking the grapes. But no, I did not crush grapes with my feet!

You could jump on a train and go anywhere desired, just make sure not to jump on a work train. I got on one on my way to Nuremberg and didn’t think I’d ever get there. Everywhere someone was standing by the tracks, they would stop and pick them up. I don’t think we ever got over 15 miles an hour.

Their education is much different than ours. The children go to school all year long with two weeks off when their parents go on vacation. (They call it Holiday.)

Everything shuts down at that time. They graduate at sixteen then must serve a year in the military, girls and boys, and then they go to trade school to learn the trade skills needed for their lifetime profession. Two and three generations live in the same household.

I guess the thing most embedded in my mind and made the greatest impression was visiting the concentration camps. I came to realize how fortunate I am to live in a democratic society but that it can become very fragile very quickly. It amazes me how someone could take a symbol meaning “good fortune” in India and turn it into something so horrific and how quickly someone can be condemned to death because one man said so!

The worst scenario, is that people really believed in Adolf Hitler and his promise to make things better, to the extent he was chosen “Man of the Year” on the cover of Time Magazine in 1938!

Living in Germany was a great opportunity with many things that I didn’t write about, and “yes” I would do it all again! When do we leave?

Behind the Scenes

Ribbon Cutting for the New Concession Stands

continued

On Friday, July 6th, just days before the opening of the 163rd Gibson County Fair, there was a grand opening ceremony and ribbon cutting. Many members of the community came to tour the new concession stands, view the kitchens and fryer areas, and enjoy some snacks in the cool breeze of the fans in the new stands. There is now plenty of seating space, wellequipped modern kitchens and an awning over to protect patrons from the elements.

120 tubs of Italian Ice a year.

Debbie really likes seeing the people and the patrons that come back each year to chat. She’s watched kids grow up and bring their own kids for a Nutty Bar. Micah Buhl chats with Debbie Getting to know the other vendors is also fun. One of the drawbacks is worrying about your cart when you’re not there. Every now and then, things like power outages come up.

When you’ve got ice cream, that’s a problem. As a parttime weekend project, it’s fun. But the late nights do get a bit tiring when you’ve got a steady job during the days.

There are no changes or future plans for Debbie and her “Nutty Bar Wagon.” They plan to keep taking this old favorite (made out of metal) food stand to area events. It’s heavy to pull and a bit bulky, but it’s sturdy and reliable. Clark Concessions travel only a little more than an hour from home a few times a year. But the good news is that they plan to keep their spot at the Gibson County Fair for years to come.

Karen Johnston, a TMMI representative, spoke of Toyota’s involvement in the community.

The kitchens are fully equipped and offer great space. There’s also a separate area for fryers.

Shootin’ H oops at M t. O .

In many nooks and crannies of the county are hidden little historic gems. There are pieces of that past that stand out. One sunny summer afternoon in July, the Mt. Olympus gym, which could’ve been the location for the movie “Hoosiers,” once again held local kids playing basketball who wanted to improve their shot.

No, it’s not basketball season yet, but for those who play the game, the practice never stops. Just ask Jackie Young or Tyra Buss.

As a special treat, basketball shooting coach, James Pauley took some time to share with a few lucky young kids, pointers on shooting. He and his daughter Evelyn came from San Diego to celebrate his mother’s 93rd birthday. Jean (Watkins) Pauley and her husband, Fred, were both Mt. Olympus graduates. It only seemed fitting that their son James shot baskets in the gym that his grandfather, LaVern Pauley, helped buy at auction and was instrumental in its transition into the Community Center it is today.

The Lions Club meets there, as well as the local 4-H kids and every year the gym hosts the Lavern Watkins, Mt. Alumni Banquet for the faithful.

Olympis class of 1923.

So why is James Pauley a special treat? Because he can shoot some serious hoops. His record for consecutive free throws is 847 and he’s shot 700 in a row five times. He’s even made over 500 baskets 11 times. Now take a minute and think about that. Wow! How about 3-pointers you ask?

Well that total all time best for James is 150 in a row.

Really?

James was actually born in Denton, Illinois, and

then his family moved to Owensboro when he was 12-years-old. While there, he played junior and high school basketball and his dad did some refereeing. He then went to college at Western Kentucky in Bowling Green, getting a degree in Psychology.

This path took him to San Diego where he ran a nonprofit mentor program for 25 years. During this time, James played recreational league basketball for 34 years, but in 2010, he tried his hand shooting in the Senior Olympics. He came in fifth and that was a game changer for life. He’s now a personal shooting coach for college and NBA athletes. The local kids readily recognized Jackie Young’s name (he helped her during her freshman year) but they were too young to get it when James mentioned Maya Moore, formerly of UConn. (But their parents got it!)

He was also the Executive Director for the National Basketball Shooter Association. Noah James Pauley, Lavern’s Basketball is also a topic of great-grandson conversation for James. This is a system that combines a camera filming the angle of a basketball shot with software to better improve the probability of making the shot. He helped Princeton implement the system a few years ago. Well, when you’re a 97% shooter, people tend to listen.

As James showed the kids that July afternoon at Mt. Olympus, there are four areas to pay attention to while shooting - 1) direction, 2) arc, 3) rotation and 4) distance. He demonstrated his points in ways that

young ones could see and understand.

At the end of the shooting session, Jill (Kolb) Embree pointed out that there are many benefits for kids that play basketball. They learn to work together, support each other and it keeps them physically active.

“All members of the team are important, from the uniform manager, the player that makes the most assits in a game, to the assistants,” she said. “They all share in the experience together.”

So if you’re a member of a recreation league, school team or just like to shoot baskets, there are always benefits and ways to get better.

Powered and Pumped Up This program was led by Dr. Kent Scheller. The kids were told that they were living on Mars and had a few items to pump water including solar panels and a small pump. They learned how to think like an engineer, complete experiments and use their knowledge to build the most efficient way to pump water using sun light.

My Car Addiction Story by Jeff Minnis

I’m sure my story is not in any way unique to any other car nut that is reading this. I saw a post on Facebook that said, “A mans most expensive hobby starts with .97 cents”. Well for me back in the late ‘60’s it was more like .49 cents. Who remembers when Matchbox cars actually came in a box?

My addiction started long before K-Marts and Wal-Marts. It started at Murphy’s and Index Dime stores on the Court House square. To this day, I can still picture the interior of these two stores especially the TOY isle. I couldn’t wait for Mom to take me uptown to go shopping and to pick out my new Matchbox car in the spinning display case. I would spend what seemed like hours turning it and turning it to find that special car to add to my collection. Once I found the “right one”, the worry would then kick in - you would have to find a store clerk and tell them the number of the car you wanted and they would then open a big drawer and see if they had it. This is where the worry started.

If they were sold out, they would not sell the one in the display and then you would have to start your

decision making all over! I still have several of my old Matchbox cars but unfortunately, a lot of them fell victim to Dad’s vice in the garage where I would crank on them to make them looked wrecked.

As I stroll through antique stores and see all the cars I had and smashed, I kind of tear up when I look at the prices they are going for now. I’m thankful that I grew up in the era I did. I was able to see the square flourishing with stores and the sidewalks crowded with shoppers. Every once in a while, I will walk around the square and look at all the store fronts and reminisce about what each store was and how much fun it was to go into each one back then.

No matter what store my wife and I go in, she knows if we get separated she can always find me in the toy isle, digging through the Matchbox Hot Wheels. I’m still a kid at heart!

The Watermelon Festival’s Cool Cars

Registration for the car show at Owensville’s Watermelon Festival started at noon on Saturday. By 12:05 there were around 65 cars signed in. That number grew closer to 90 automobiles on display. The “Mustang Mafia” joined the crew and showed quite a number of Ford Mustangs from various years.

This model looked to be “Candy Apple Red.”

Classics are always special.
