Plot twist as Jenna Clem (Huber) takes to Go Fund Me: "Save Joe Huber's Family Farm."


Jenna Clem says there's another side to the story.

Lamentation aplenty as Joe Huber's Family Farm prepares to be parceled and auctioned.


I have no dogs in this fight, but let's allow the daughter have her say. Click through to read the entire testimonial.


SAVE JOE HUBER'S FAMILY FARM

$2,230 of $1.0M goal
Raised by 79 people in 8 hours

My name is Jenna Clem (Huber).

I would like a chance to tell everyone the truth, instead of the version that will be portrayed in a statement by the auction company, as to not make anyone “look bad”. At this point, I’m not worried about hurting anyone’s feelings, as some are not concerned with hurting mine.

My father was Joseph Huber lll. I’m sure that most of you reading this also know that my father was killed in a tragic mowing accident at his home on July 27th, 2015. My father devoted his entire life to the farm, as did my grandfather, Joseph Huber Jr. Since the death of both my grandfather and father, there has been a divide in the family. To some, money means more than keeping a family tradition alive. My husband and I have made multiple fair offers to purchase the farm from my aunts and uncles which were not even considered. So I can assure you that the next generation is very interested in keeping their legacy alive. I can say this with certainty, as I am the next generation ...

Learn about the Taco Steve Recovery Fund at GoFundMe.


To know Stephen "Taco Steve" Powell is to love the guy, so consider a donation to help with his recovery from a broken hip. In terms of business, Steve has staff, and things are on a normal footing.

Here's to fast healing.

Taco Steve Recovery Fund

Heather Morris on behalf of Stephen Powell

My name is Heather Morris and I have decided to start a GoFundMe for my friend and business colleague, Stephen Powell a.k.a. Taco Steve.

On Friday August 10th Taco Steve founder (and head chef extraordinaire), Stephen Powell, was involved in a serious skateboarding* fall resulting in a broken hip. He has since had to undergo a pretty major surgery. He is now partially bionic with a metal plate and two screws holding his hip in place.

Unfortunately Steve was uninsured and will be out of work for an undetermined amount of time. The medical bills will be there (est. $40,000-50,000) and he will have time to figure out a plan for his future, but really needs support for his short term medical expenses and loss of income.

Let’s show this awesome guy and figure of our community the support he deserves and help him through his recovery by giving him some peace of mind that everything will be alright in the meantime!

* He has since submitted his paperwork resigning from the world of skateboarding indefinitely, quoted: “I am too old for that shit.”

SweetFrog: "Please help save your only frozen treat option in New Albany."


SweetFrog is a frozen yogurt shop located at 302 Pearl St Suite B, New Albany, Indiana 47150. That's the northeast corner of Market and Pearl, adjacent to the forthcoming Longboard's.

---

Dear family, friends and loyal customers,

As most of you are aware, my husband and I opened sweetFrog Downtown New Albany in little over a year ago. While we were excited to endeavor on this new adventure, opening a new locally owned small business is hard.

We are sure most of you have seen the slew of restaurants and stores that have closed just in this year alone. We had a very hard winter as well and are feeling the effects of being painfully slow during those months. Unfortunately we are still trying to catch up on bills from the winter months. Additionally due to our frozen yogurt machines being cooled on City Water, we have quite a large water and sewer bill that has become impossible to pay. We are trying to raise funds to made good on our outstanding bills and furthermore install a glycol coolant system that will eliminate the need to cool on city run water.

➡Here's what you can do to help!

We are asking that you invite everyone that you know to the store this weekend to help us raise some additional funds. While we are in the process of attaining some financial aid loans, unfortunately it's come to a head and we either have to decide to leave on May 1st or pay our landlord a certain amount on May 1st in order to avoid being forced to close.

We love downtown New Albany and everything it's about. I mentioned opening a small business is hard-not only is it financially hard, but emotionally as well when you put your heart and soul into something that you truly believe can bring happiness to a community in the form of a healthier sweet treat and then have it potentially taken away. We truly hope that we are able to continue to stay open give you the best Froyo experience you've ever had.

Again please share with your family friends, colleagues--anybody that you know would love to support us and see us stay open. Please help save your only frozen treat option in New Albany.

Donations are always welcome as well and can be sent through the GoFundMe link below.

Thank you to all our loyal customers and blessings to each and every one of you!

Leah and Justin Alexander

Join Gregg Seidl for a farewell Drinking with the Dead haunted history tour on Saturday, August 20.

In 2011.

A glance back to mid-May:

Lending a hand to Gregg Seidl: "Moving Toward What I Am Meant to Do."


In a nutshell, Gregg is at gofundme to raise funds for relocation to Savannah. Granted, there are numerous worthy causes in the world, and it is your decision when it comes to prioritizing them.

The effort continues, and Gregg's getting closer to the big move. He provides an update, and a final local opportunity for Drinking with the Dead.

I'll be hosting my last Drinking With the Dead haunted history tour of New Albany on Saturday, August 20, 2016, and like all of my tours this one will begin at Hugh E. Bir's on the corner of East 4th and Market streets. Ticket prices are $15 and tips and/or other donations will be accepted as this will be my last opportunity to raise funds for the move.

Read the update here, and consider attending the tour.

Lending a hand to Gregg Seidl: "Moving Toward What I Am Meant to Do."


Many of you know Gregg Seidl.

Moving Toward What I Am Meant to Do

Thanks for taking the time to read and consider this request.

I was born and raised in the city of New Albany, Indiana, and other than four years I honorably served in the United States Marine Corps, I have lived in or near this city all of my life.

You probably know Gregg from his haunted history tours.

In 2009, I began hosting my own haunted history tours in New Albany, and they have been well received. I have been featured several times in local newspapers and on television, and the tours have always been popular. Here's a link to the FB page I created about my "Nefarious New Albany Haunted History" tours.

Gregg has a life-altering opportunity.

I have been offered a job in Savannah, Georgia that has full benefits, great wages, and, best of all, is a job that will allow me to utilize my talents to their fullest while earning a decent living.
In a nutshell, Gregg is at gofundme to raise funds for relocation to Savannah. Granted, there are numerous worthy causes in the world, and it is your decision when it comes to prioritizing them. '

My only comment is that during times when apathy is so pervasive, Gregg has been a tireless advocate of New Albany. It doesn't mean I agree with his stance on every issue, and I'm sure the same is true of him. It means that history and teaching matter.

We've helped, and I urge you to consider doing so.

There's been a fire. Consider the Katherine Fraze Fire Fund at Go Fund Me.


Some folks hereabouts think Katherine Fraze is crazy. Most of them work for various branches of local government, and this fact alone always has been recommendation enough for me. You go, girl.

Sadly, a Fb friend messaged me about a fire, of which I previously was unaware.

I don't know if you are aware, but Kathy Fraze has had a tragic fire at her place, where she lost her home, everything she owns, her birds, her beloved raven; they have taken her dogs, and refuse to give them back. There is a Go Fund Me page set up for her. Watch for coverage on TV. There are pictures of the devastation on her websites: The Dog Lady and Save That Dog Sanctuary. The Go Fund Me is listed as Katherine Fraze Fire Fund.

Following is the message at the Katherine Fraze Fire Fund.

This is my friend who has the Save that Dog Sanctuary. Last night she lost everything in a fire. All her belongings, 6K in cash, her home, and most of her rescue dogs had to go into animal control.

Katherine has devoted her life to saving animals. She has lived in a camper (with no running water) for as long as I have known her to run her rescue. She is a person who doesn't want much just her animals and her land. You can visit her rescue website.

She is sleeping in her vehicle on her property at the moment to tend to the animals not taken by animal control. She had a small amount of insurance, which won't be enough. She needs our help and every penny helps! Thank you.

I've donated. Please consider doing so. Thanks.

Roger still challenges municipal candidates to support Indie Fest. Even you, Adam?


Last week, the Baylor for Mayor campaign donated $500 toward sponsoring Indie Fest 2015, which exists to espouse the cause of independent local business in New Albany. The fest takes place this Sunday, September 27.

I challenged my mayoral opponents Kevin Zurschmiede and Jeff Gahan to match this donation, and Kevin immediately answered even though he's out of town. Strangely, we've yet to hear from the incumbent, who conjured $7 million dollars in theoretical funding to wave at departing Pillsbury moving vans.

I'm sure this is just a clerical oversight, right?

Other candidates from both parties were included in this challenge, and to date, John Gonder and Al Knable have responded with $100 donations.

Thanks to Kevin, John and Al for recognizing the importance of grassroots economic development.

NA Indie Fest at Go Fund Me

"Indie Fest is a wonderful display of the rich heritage of the arts in New Albany, and will showcase booths for merchants, artists, restaurants, and craftspeople. As in years past, our event will feature music from local musicians spanning all genres, playing throughout the day. Indie Fest is by no means just for adults, there has always, and will continue to be, an extensive kids area that includes a magician, a local musician with instruments for the kids to play, arts and crafts, and other kid friendly activities. This is truly a family event. Over the past 4 years we have strived to make this a free community event, and we need your help to make that possible. Our expenses keep growing, but donors ability to give is getting tighter. Please help us keep this wonderful day of music, art and fun going for years to come."
