Poseyville residents to see increase in utility rates

Feb. 12 public hearing planned for comments on first increase in six years

By Valerie Werkmeister Water and sewer rates will soon increase for Poseyville patrons. During the Poseyville Town Council meeting on Wednesday, January 8, council members agreed to take the recommendations made

by Pat Callahan, a certified public accountant who specializes in utility rate studies.

Callahan delivered a proposal to the council in December recommending increases since a water rate increase had not been done since 2008 and a sewage rate increase dates back as far as 2005.

“I think we’ve put it off as long as we can for any type of increase and it’s rather…in comparison to what other places are doing, it’s not a bad increase. It’s just to

catch up with increased costs,” Baker said.

The new increases equate to $1.54 per 1,000 gallons of water used and $2.25 per 1,000 gallons of sewage used.

A public meeting has been set before the next council meeting on Wednesday, February 12. A first reading of the ordinance will be read followed by the public hearing. Anyone who would like to express their opinion regarding the proposed increases is encouraged to attend the meeting. The regular meeting will immediately follow the public hearing. If the new ordinance is adopted during the regular meeting, the new rates will take effect during April use and will appear on customers’ bills in May.

Utility customers will soon be able to make payments via credit or debit cards.

Julie Mayo stated the new payment system will be in place within the next month.

The fire department added three new members. Jason Kolley, Jonathan Cook and Bob Hicks were approved by the council pending approval of the fire department at their meeting next week.

Fire department membership is still critically low and they are still encouraging anyone interested to pick up an application. They are available at the town hall.

Council members unanimously re-appointed Baker as Town Council President.

Baker has been on the board for 27 years and has served as president for 25 of those

years.

Action on the sale of the town hall was tabled pending information from the Poseyville Carnegie Public Library. Library Director Heather McNabb had expressed interest in the building during previous meetings. The council will wait to hear a decision from the library before they proceed with other avenues to try to sell the building.

In other action, Ron Fallowfield was reappointed to serve on the Posey County Area Plan Commission; Baker was reappointed to serve on the Posey County Economic Development Partnership and Don Koch will continue to serve on the Posey County Board of Zoning Appeals.

MVPD finally nears full staff

By Lois Mittino Gray The Mount Vernon Board of Public Works met the new Animal Control Officer for the city at their January 9 meeting and he is eager to begin work and training for the job.

Police Chief Grant Beloat introduced Colton Givens, the new Animal Control Officer for the department. He requested permission to send him to two training sessions. Level 2 training is in Nashville, Tenn., on February 17 – 21 and deals with cruelty to animals and other common control issues. Level 3 is in Kansas City, Mo., on April 21 – 25 and teaches the tranquilizing of animals. Denny Shaffer, County Health Department, has agreed to pay the tuition for both Level 2-$525 and Level 3-$575. The county has agreed to do this as the ACO is sent out in the county to dart as needed. The board approved permission to use a city vehicle for travel and the city charge card for hotel, gas, and meals.

Mayor John Tucker said that when he joined the police department back in 1972, there was a dog catcher, period. Times have changed and now he is an ‘officer’ with more duties and responsibility to the public, the humane society and the media. Givens will also be going to schools to talk to students about how to properly care for their pets. Board member Brian Jeffries asked if Givens would be willing to cross-train the other officers and he replied yes.

Beloat continued his report by stating “we are now almost up to full staff, it’s been a while since I’ve said that.” Officer Pope has completed field training and

is now out on her own. Officer Dockery will be the same within a month or so after completing her training. Korben Sellers will be starting his training at the academy in Evansville on February 3 which will fill the last vacancy. Beloat also named three new reserve officers: Rusty Jordan, Brandon Brauser, and Colton Givens.

In other board action: • Sewer Superintendent Rodney Givens requested to attend a pumper expo in Indianapolis on February 24-27. He went ten years ago and said it is a good conference for streets, sewers, and septic tanks and would enable him to get CEU’s too. Asst. Street Commissioner Miller and Supt. Moss would like to go and the cost is $50 each if they register before Jan. 24.

Permission was granted for all three to attend. In addition, the trio could bring the Vac Con truck in for repairs to be done in Indianapolis while they attend and Street Commissioner Max Dieterle said Miller may be able to bring back their new packer truck as well.

• Supt. Givens then stated he has talked with Kieffer Brothers and Mike Gangstad of the engineering firm BLA about issues with the sewer project. He is ‘fed up’ and thinks everyone needs to get together in one room and resolve this issue as it is ‘beyond talking.’

Board member Bill Curtis agreed. Givens said there is a year warranty, but problems persist including control panel box issues. Board member Jeffries

In the early morning hours of Jan. 10, 2013, the rural Posey County home of Greg Thompson on Ramsey Road was completely lost to fire.

The family sends a thank you to all the volunteer fire department men and women reporting to duty that day; New Harmony, Poseyville, Griffin, Black Township, and Cynthiana fire departments; and to Martin Farm Drainage for equipment use. Thompson was not home.

Arson Charges filed against Mount Vernon man City Council looks to use, cost for City Hall Annex

Criminal charges for Arson have been filed against a 25-year-old Mtount Vernon man after an Indiana State Police investigation revealed he intentionally set fire to his residence on New Year’s Day. Indiana State Police detectives launched a criminal investigation on January 1 after receiving information that a suspicious fire heavily damaged a Mount Vernon home. During the investigation it was determined that Jack Anderson, 25, allegedly strangled, battered and threatened his live-in girlfriend during the early morning hours on New Year’s Day. Mount Vernon Police arrived at the residence, but Anderson had

Meet Your Legislators The Posey County ‘Meet Your Legislators’ is an event organized

by The Chamber of Commerce of Southwest Indiana. This important community meeting will serve as an opportunity for the Legislators to speak about the issues they are facing and for the community to ask questions and raise concerns.

Representative Wendy McNamara, Senator Jim Tomes and Congressman Larry Bucshon will be attending. Held at 9 a.m. Saturday, January 25, at the Hovey House in Mount Vernon.

already left. His girlfriend did not require medical attention. After Anderson’s girlfriend left the residence to stay with family, he allegedly returned to the residence they shared and started a fire inside the home causing extensive damage. A neighbor called 911 reporting the fire at 6:07 a.m. The fire was eventually extinguished by Mount Vernon Fire Department.

Later that day, Anderson turned himself in at the Posey County Jail for the charges stemming from battering his girlfriend. Anderson was arrested by Mount Vernon Police for Intimidation with a Deadly Weapon, Strangulation and Domestic Battery.

The arson investigation was turned over to the Posey County Prosecutor’s Office for their review.

Criminal charges for Arson were filed against Anderson on January 10. Anderson is still incarcerated in the Posey County Jail and currently being held on a $200,000 cash bond.

Investigating Officers were Detective Toni Walden, Detective Tobias Odom and Detective/ Sergeant Brad Cieslack, Indiana State Police. Assisting Agency was the Indiana State Fire Marshal’s Office.

Mount Vernon home after alleged arson.

By Lois Mittino Gray Besides doing some routine beginning of the year matters, the Mount Vernon Common Council discussed projects for budget planning for the upcoming year at its January 9 meeting. A public hearing date will be set to explain how all the monies are being earmarked for this Additional Appropriation Ordinance of EDIT funds.

Mayor John Tucker encouraged the council to think about future uses for the City Hall Annex.

“In July, the police and fire department will move and we need to address what to do with this building. We need to set aside seed money for environmental assessment of the building and potential problems.” Councilman Bill Curtis said, “We need to earmark that money and set it aside for repairs.” Mayor Tucker has been given a rough estimate of $60,000.

The council also needs to re-appropriate the $100,000 that was set aside last year for demolition of the buildings on 207-213 Main Street and the $150,000 for the police-fire station building that was not spent as yet. Councilman Steve Fuelling stated he would like to add $40,000 for the service building at Riverbend Park Another issue that must be addressed in the budget is the problem with flooding on the west side of the city.

OPINION

Friends are friends, regardless of opinion differences Last week was a taxing week on your local newspaper publisher. I was reminded again that the TRUTH... right thing STRANGER to do is not THAN always the FICTION most popu- BY DAVE lar thing to PEARCE do and definitely not the most profitable. I also learned there is a huge gulf in some peoples’ minds between business and personal. I learned there is a huge gulf in many peoples’ minds between political and personal. I was reminded just how far I have to go to be a good businessman and how different that can be from being a good friend.

I started the week by learning from my insurance company that someone had settled for $85,000. In your world, that may be pennies.

But in my world, that’s a heck of a lot of money. The individual had sued the insurance and us over an accident involving one of our former employees. I can’t go into a lot of details but can only say that having a big heart and keeping an employee past his or her ability to do the job is not a good idea, even if in your heart you believe it is the right thing to do.

And that was just the beginning.

I also learned that ‘friend’ to one person holds a totally different meaning than ‘friend’ to another person. If you are my ‘friend,’ differences in politial views, skin color, sexual orientation, and/or religious views are going to be overridden by ‘friendship.’ I may not agree with you but that does not mean we cannot be friends.

We all need all the friends

we can get. And I am the first to admit that I don’t have all the answers and I certainly am about as far away from perfect as I can get.

However, when you achieve perfection and want a newspaper, just come on down and I’ll gladly sign it over to you at no charge and with no strings attached.

On the political front, I learned that my calling out of what appeared to be an illegal meeting held widereaching ramifications.

Sometimes it takes something not too dramatic to find out who your ‘friends’ are. I showed up at the Posey County Court House to take pictures of several members of one party declaring their candidacy only to find that one of the candidates, of the opposite party, that I actually voted for in the last election, had no desire to speak to me. While it hurt my feelings a little at first, I learned a long time ago from a man who is no longer in Posey County, ‘It’s not personal, it’s business.’ I am hoping that this is not personal, but is simply political.

I also had another longtime ‘friend’ send in a cancellation notice over the fact that I was attempting to do my job and keep public meetings public. If I was wrong and there was no wrong-doing, forgive me.

But also keep in mind that it is part of this million-dollara-year position that I hold to try and keep local government from becoming more corrupt than it already is.

Again, I hope it is not personal, simply political.

I then watched on social media as another long-time friend ranted and raved over religion and ‘Christians’ who have judged this person for their lifestyle of choice.

Dear friend, if you know in your heart that you are doing everything you need to do, then forget what people say. Please don’t ‘lump’ all Christians and religious people into a single group. You ask not to be judged so in the same context, please don’t judge. And at the end of the day, we are all humans who need each other. Remember, there was only one perfect Christian and he was crucified. So let the talk of others who claim to be Christians and those who don’t, roll off your back like water on a duck’s back. It’s not personal, it’s an opinion.

I can make you this promise. If I am truly your ‘friend,’ I will be there whether we have the same opinions or not. I will be there to help you pick up the pieces when you are down and struggling to get up. I will be there to listen to you when you need to talk. I will be there through the good times and through the bad times.

I often have to go back to my journalism training and remember that I was not trained to major in friendship. I was trained to ma-

jor in integrity. I am often reminded of a counselor who asked me why on earth I would want to leave an accounting position with Mead Johnson to go back to school and take a job in journalism. I was told that I would have to take my job with me everywhere I went.

I was told that newspaper editors and publishers have the highest rate of alcoholics of any profession in America. I was also told that more newspaper editors and journalists become afflicted with heart trouble at earlier

ages than nearly every other profession. And little did I know that I am already approaching the average age of death among newspaper editors.

So please remember we are all in this together. Like everyone else, I don’t have all the answers and sometimes, I don’t even know the right questions. If I am your ‘friend,’ I will speak to you no matter what the circumstances. I was always told that we all put our pants on the same way every morning...one leg at a time. I’m

Guest Column State Rep. Wendy McNamara New agenda will propel the Hoosier workforce With the beginning of the legislative session come big changes, specifically through the announcement of the 2014 House Republican legislative agenda.

The agenda, titled “Indiana: Working on Progress,” includes legislation centered around five key points: preparing kids for their careers, connecting crossroads to communities, equipping our workforce, cutting taxes and stopping burdensome regulations. All of these initiatives will continue to address key issues facing the Hoosier state. I would like to highlight some of these initiatives.

After graduation, students are expecting to enter the workforce. However, they cannot enter the work-

force if they do not have the necessary skills to be successful. To address the skills gap, our agenda sets a course for schools and businesses to increase their collaboration and work together through select educational partnerships, which in turn, will also increase the potential earnings of Hoosier workers. About two-thirds of manufacturers in Indiana report a shortage of available, qualified workers. We need to provide the tools for Hoosiers to fill and be successful in these high demand, high wage jobs.

Connecting Crossroads to Communities is another effort to build upon Indiana’s renowned transportation infrastructure. Indiana cannot be known as the “Crossroads

of America” without maintaining a good transportation system. More money will be used to address current roads and bridges needs to offset future maintenance expenses. In industries such as tourism, retail sales and agriculture, 1.7 million jobs are dependent on the state’s transportation system and, over $500 billion in goods traveled on Indiana roadways last year alone.

Increasing our investment in roads would directly provide jobs through their design, construction and maintenance and would also allow us to realize further economic opportunities.

While many issues will be addressed, we as a legislative body will be looking

Chapter 21 - Humbug Arnold Rothstein knew a sucker bet when he saw one and a Christmas Day football game was just not going to happen. With white Presbyterians, GAVEL Catholic Indians and Colored Baptists con- GAMUT centrating on Christmas, the gate, and BY JUDGE more importantly the JIM REDWINE drinking and gambling, would suffer.

The problem for Rothstein was when he was having trouble finding a venue he had been pressured into accepting a Christmas afternoon game time. Haskell’s coaches had maneuvered him into a corner. But Rothstein had since discovered how badly Frank McDonald and Richard Hanley wanted the exhibition game to take place and he knew Cokes and Thompson wanted to maximize their chances to fleece the local suckers.

Rothstein called Henry Dangerfield to his room at the Duncan Hotel. “Henry, I want you to get word to Mr. McDonald that the field cannot be ready by this Thursday. I figure your people could use a few more days to get the food ready to sell. By the way, I will be paying the boys from your church double if they will take the time to make the field completely free of rocks. Anyway, I have inspected the goal posts and the crossbars are only eight feet off the ground plus the uprights do not even extend beyond the crossbars. There’s no way you can tell if a field goal is good. They must be replaced.”

“Mr. Rothstein, we appreciate the extra money but Mr. Thompson and Mr. Cokes ain’t gonna take kindly to

a delay. What about the concession that Mr. Nelson has? Will Marshall Eaton okay a change?”

“Baby Face Nelson has already spoken with Marshall Eaton and told him the game would be Sunday the 28th instead of the 25th. Let me deal with Titanic and Cokes. Besides, this game is supposed to be an exhibition between Haskell and the white players from Fairfax. Surely no one is trying to profit personally.”

After Dangerfield left the room Rothstein dressed in a dark three piece suit, orange silk shirt and blue cravat held in place with a diamond stickpin. He put on the highly glossed shoes Henry had just polished then he headed for the poker room on the second floor.

He considered taking his derringer concealed in a vest pocket but remembered that Hubert ‘Daddy Warbucks’ Cokes and Titanic Thompson were each known to have killed several men in gambling disputes.

Better to leave the meeting having lost an argument than one’s life.

“Ti, the field cannot be ready

by Christmas Day. I think we could play Sunday afternoon if the Haskell Indians and the white team from Fairfax want to. It makes no difference to me if the game goes on or not. I’ll just assume our bet is off.”

“A.R., Cokes and I went out and looked at the field. Obviously the goal posts need to be changed, but that field is going to be a rock pile no matter how long they work on it.

It will be the same for both teams.

certinaly not perfect but then, you aren’t either. No matter how you treat me, whether it is ‘business, political, or religious,’ I probably am going to have an opinion just as you do and it’s not going to be the same 100 percent of the time.

That’s what is great about America. So far, we are free to express those opinions without fear of government retribution. But sometimes I wonder who needs government retribution when you have ‘friends’ who can handle that for you.

Let’s play as scheduled.”

“Ti, Hubert, can I be blunt? You two and I may not give a fig about Christmas, but all these god-fearing Christians do. They are not going to be nearly as generous with their money when sober and most of them will be sober Christmas. I know McDonald and Hanley want the game on the 25th but I plan, and I am confident you plan, to seek numerous side bets. I say to the devil with a warm fuzzy feeling. It’s time to let McDonald and Hanley know this game is bigger than they realize. With all due respect, maybe your ward, Raven, could break the news.”

Thompson shoved Rothstein up against the wall with his elbow on Rothstein’s throat.

“You shyster, leave Raven out of this. Cokes and I will get the game date changed to Sunday. You just make sure to bring $100,000 in cash. And, fix the goal posts. We have a good kicker, someone to kick your team’s tails and you back under that rock you crawled out from.”

When Rothstein hurriedly backed out of the poker room, Thompson slammed the door behind him. “Hubert, if you’ll excuse me I need to talk to Raven right away and have her bring the Haskell coaches up to date.”

Raven and Frank sat at the ice cream shop next to the Constantine Theater and sipped a cherry phosphate ice cream soda out of the same tall glass using two straws. Frank wanted to concentrate on his game plan, but found his full attention drawn to admiring the way Raven was able to drink the soda without even a trace trickling down her chin.

“Frank, Father and Hubert have allowed Rothstein to believe he has suckered them into delaying the game so that more of the Kansas City Cowboy professional players will have time to get here. What Rothstein does not know is that you and Coach Hanley have Jim Thorpe secretly working feverously with John Levi on his kicking game. You have said you believe there’s a good chance the game will be quite close and that either a turnover or field goal may make the difference. Of course, Rothstein, we all believe, has no idea that Thorpe and Pepper Martin will be playing. The extra time will also be helpful so that Pepper Martin and John Levi can continue working on that special play you have designed that calls for split second timing. The Cowboys will get a little more time to prepare too, but since they have just finished an entire season together, they are already familiar with one another. Our real ace in the hole is the two Cowboy players who, unbeknownst to Rothstein, will be playing for Haskell. Not playing on Christmas will give you and Coach Hanley three extra days to pull it all together.”

“Raven, this game is very important to Haskell. I appreciate what your father and Cokes are doing.

However, I confess I am concerned their desire to make money on the game might deter contributions to the stadium fund. I guess we’ll simply have to rely on Chief Lookout and whatever football gods there be.

“Now on to what’s really important. When this game is over are we finally going to be able to concentrate on us?”

to trim the size of government and the laws that are on the books. Unnecessary and outdated laws and regulations make government functions inefficient and consumer navigation more difficult. The private sector is always striving to be more efficient, and the public sector can certainly follow that lead - not to mention Washington D.C. Moving forward, we must continue to allow the free market to function, and look for ways to trim the government.

I am eager to address these and other issues this session and believe constructive solutions are to come. As we continue to move Indiana forward while still concentrating on the issues we currently have I keep in mind the overall goal, to make our State the finest state in our country to work, live and raise a family. I hope you are having a nice and warm start to 2014.

Rep. McNamara (RMount Vernon) represents portions of Posey and Vanderburgh counties.

Guest Editorial Nancy M. Mills Have you set your goals for year 2014?

All of us have made mistakes in our lives. We have experienced many setbacks and failures throughout our lives. Sometimes we allow these mistakes to enslave us to the point that we never enjoy the full Christian life that God gave us to enjoy. Do you want a fresh start for the New Year?

The devil does not want you to have a fresh start. God always gives us a Fresh Start, also gave us a Free Will and Holy Spirit to utilize.

We are the first generation to have the word spread around the world through TV Satellite Stations. More evangelists and missionaries are spreading the truth from the Bible like never before.

Jesus Christ is our only way to Heaven and the afterlife. It’s not enough to just go to a church on Sundays or holidays. If everyone’s conscious would only follow God’s rules listed in the Bible; then someday the world would be a better place.

Two arrested after routine stop Thursday afternoon, January 9, at approximately 5:15, Sergeant Russ Werkmeister was patrolling SR 62 near St. Phillips Road when he observed a 2007 Freightliner truck parked along the westbound birm.

As Sergeant Werkmeister was pulling in behind the vehicle to check on the driver’s status, the driver began to pull away without activating his lights. Sergeant Werkmeister eventually stopped the vehicle for driving without taillights.

While talking to the driver an odor of burnt marijuana was detected. The driver was identified as William Galbraith, 47, and his passenger was identified as Katie Norrick, 22, both from Oakland City. Troopers searched Galbraith and found a small amount of marijuana in his jacket pocket.

Galbraith resisted arrest by pulling away from Sergeant Werkmeister, but he was handcuffed without further incident. A further search of the vehicle revealed more

into the basement through a chute that went through a little window. I can distinctively remember the smell of coal smoke. I kind of wish I could smell it once again. The smoke left little black specks on the snow, and the porch.

There was only one large wrought iron vent that brought the heat upstairs. When I was just learning to walk, I fell on this hot grillwork, and was burned on my right hand, and my fanny. Not very many people even see it, but I have a major scar in the palm of my hand. I always felt lucky that I wasn’t burned more badly. I was taken into Cynthiana to see old ‘Doctor Sam.’ Most houses from that time were not very weather-proof, despite the simple storm windows that my grandfather put up at each window before cold weather set in every year.

We had to shut off one bedroom to reserve the heat, and as I have mentioned before, my childhood did not have indoor plumbing. Any hot water came from being heated on a kerosene stove in the kitchen.

For the first twelve years of my life, the only automobile we had was my grandfather’s ancient Chevy. I can’t remember if it was equipped with a heater, but I do remember that any car trips were quite cold. I could never have believed that one day I would

drive a vehicle with quick warming and heated seats. If this seems hard to imagine, Madeleine, I recall the stories my mother told about the winters of her childhood. Her early years were spent on great-grandpa Montgomery’s farm, located east of Cynthiana and they did their shopping in Haubstadt. She told of making that trip in a horse-drawn sleigh, wrapped up in blankets. The romantic sleigh rides we see in Christmas movies do not reflect doing this in brutal winter weather.

I worry about all of my family having to drive in ice and snow, and I am terrified of walking on ice. A couple of years ago, I slipped on the icy running board on my car and fell flat. Fortunately, I had grabbed onto the seat belt and pulled myself back up easily.

So, I later commented, seat belts do, indeed, save lives.

One of the major things we have to help with the Twenty-firsts century’s winter cold is the modern ‘miracle’ fabrics, which are lightweight and resistant to wind and weather. I came from the era of wool and flannel. Snow suits were heavy and bulky.

So, even though the big snows with very harsh cold are never an easy thing to endure, it is much easier to handle now. I find one of the hardest results of it all is opening the next month’s Vectren bill.

Clean-up begins in flooded courtrooms

By Valerie Werkmeister The Posey County Commissioners met for their first meeting of the year on Tuesday, January 7, and discussed various routine business matters.

The meeting started a few minutes late as the commissioners surveyed the damage in the courthouse caused by frozen pipes.

President Carl Schmitz explained the pipes above the courtroom burst and “it was raining on the judges’ benches. It’s not a pretty sight in there right now.”

The commissioners authorized clean-up to begin and the insurance company was contacted in order to help resolve the situation.

They approved two reappointments to the Posey County Drainage Board that included Dale Koester and Jerry Walden.

Koester agreed to serve a three-year term.

Appointments were also made to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance Committee. Those on the board include Marcia Droege, Carol Redman, Ed Battieger, Judy Heberer, Jan Herron, Ray Duncan, Nancy Hoehn, Martha Breeze and David Angermeier.

Decisions on appointments to the Common Wage Board and the Veteran’s Service Officer were tabled. Candidates for the Veteran’s Service Officer were interviewed in an executive session on January 13, at 6 p.m.

Commissioners hope to make the appointment at their next meeting.

Two new county employees were introduced.

Kyle Haney will serve as the new Posey County Auditor and Kristina Carter has taken the position as the new Posey County Health Department Nurse.

Haney succeeds Nick Wildeman who resigned from the office to pursue another job offer.

Haney stated, “I’m real excited to serve the county as auditor and I’ve got some really big shoes to fill. I’m looking forward to meeting everybody.”

Wildeman also made a statement in regards to leaving the office.

“This is my last week as auditor and it is bittersweet. I’ve enjoyed my time as auditor. The vast majority of people have been very helpful, very embracing. It’s been a very good experience and I just want to thank everybody for giving me the opportunity,” Wildeman said.

Carter explained she would like to make a few program changes within the health department that will emphasize more community-wide health education. She stated she would like to expand on emergency preparedness and bioterrorism programs, disease investigations and increase the immunization program.

Highway Department Superintendent Steve Schenk informed the commissioners he is seeking permits to build a new bridge on Barrett Switch Road in Griffin. He is working with state officials on that process.

The animal control report for the month of December included 41 complaints, 10 animals were picked up, three bite reports and $42 was collected.

Betty Postletheweight announced that candidates who would like to run for election in 2014 may file now through February 7.

She is also looking for someone to fill a part-time position in her election room.

The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 21, at 9 a.m. in the Hovey House in Mount Vernon. The date for their first meeting in February has been changed to Monday, February 3, due to a meeting conflict.

COMMUNITY Posey County embraces new health nurse

By Valerie Werkmeister A new public health nurse for the Posey County Health Department was introduced during last week’s Posey County Commissioner’s meeting.

Kristina Carter brings 10 years of nursing experience to the position as well as enthusiasm for making a few improvements to the department programs.

Carter is a 2003 graduate of Vincennes University in which she obtained her LPN. She immediately returned to school to earn her associate’s degree in 2005. During this time she worked in long-term and assisted living care facilities.

In 2006, she made the move to the newly opened Deaconess Gateway facility and worked for a year in the medical/surgical area. In 2008, she decided to take a position in the Vanderburgh County Health Department and knew she had found her niche.

She shared that in the hospital setting, she didn’t have the time necessary to devote education to her acutely ill patients.

She loves to talk and connect with her patients on a one to one basis. The position in the health department afforded her that opportunity.

“The public health arena, specifically the health department, allowed me more

one on one time to provide more education even on basic hygiene or at that time I did a lot of work with people with sexually transmitted diseases and tuberculosis,” she said.

“I think also it was appealing to work with the homeless and the underprivileged population which can sometimes fall through the cracks. So I think public health…if we’re doing our job properly we don’t get a lot of recognition.”

“I really love not only taking care of an illness or but also really to focus on prevention of the disease through education, either one on one or group settings or communication education,” Carter said.

Carter says that in addition to focusing on the mandated aspects of her job that include disease investigation and immunization programs for children, she intends to focus on additional community education programs.

She hopes to partner with other Posey County based groups, such as the Purdue University Extension and Family Matters, to broaden the reach of the department and further her goals.

“I definitely want to be more proactive instead of reactive,” Carter said.

suggested to have a list of all the issues before the meeting as a ‘paper trail is so essential.’

• The board tabled action on the bids for the demolition of 207 – 213 Main Street for one month. The board accepted the lowest responsible bid on 2014 supplies for city use.

• The Mount Vernon Democrat was designated the newspaper for BPW publications as the office is within the city limits.

• Willie Clark, a resident of 825 Magnolia, addressed the board about his recurring raw sewage backup issues into his basement. He has been dealing with this since 1999 and this is the fourth episode.

Back in 2003, Hydromax came down and did a lot of work and replaced his sewer lines. Each incident was covered by city insurance. The current backup occurred on December 28, 2013. Supt.

Moss came out and the line was sucked out again and the camera was used. On Jan. 29, Supt. Moss brought the camera out. The problem is a lot of roots in the lines.

Mr. Clark stated he contacted the insurance company and an adjustor is coming out tomorrow, but the city has got to do something to fix this permanently. Supt.

Givens stated roots are hard to get out but a solution can be put in the line to eat at the roots. He will also contact Layne Inliner to see about re-

lining the sewers, but it wont be fixed over night. Supt.

Givens also feels that check valves are a good idea. He would like to put a manhole in the middle of that street so they have better access and are working on the problem.

• Board member Curtis would like to talk about speed control in the Water

and Main Street area, a pedestrian crossing, speed limits, etc. He thinks they need to be looking at this now as there will be boats in and out of there in spring weather.

The turn is tight now and Comm. Dieterle agreed to look at it from the street perspective, and Chief Beloat from a speed perspective.

‘City Council’ continued from Page A1 sioner Max Dieterle.

Councilman Hoehn said, “I’ve been watching the waters rise and the geese landing in the field. There is a big problem here. The Rain Garden project at West School was not designed to get all that water. It helps absorb it, but this needs to

get resolved.” Commissioner Dieterle said his staff could do the repair work, but warned that one of the possible solutions may cost up to $50,000 more than the $44,000 already earmarked for it.

In other board action: • The board tabled ac-

tion on the bids for the demolition of 207 – 213 Main Street for one month. The board accepted the lowest responsible bid on 2014 supplies for city use.

• The Mount Vernon Democrat was designated the newspaper for 2014 council publications as its principal office is within the municipality. All unanimously agreed, but Councilman Andy Hoehn elicited smiles when he commented, “Can we ask that it be called the Mount Vernon Republican in even years?”

• The first ordinance of the year 14.1 was passed to rezone the property on 214 Walnut Street from RM to CG (Commercial-General).

• During his Mayor’s comments, John Tucker said he is in the very early stages of meeting with Southwest Indiana Economic Development Coalition in Evansville on the possibility of transit service between Mount Vernon and Evansville. He also told department heads that year end reports are due

by February 6 at noon. Ten copies of each are needed for distribution.

• The Mayor said he attended an INDOT grant meeting in Vincennes this week and will know by the end of the month if either or both of the city’s grant requests were awarded. Fixing up State Street is the number one priority grant, but the group was very interested and asked a lot of questions about the downtown request, too • Councilwoman Becky Higgins announced that the first committee meeting of the Bicentennial Celebration Committee is slated for January 22. “There is a lot of interest there and people are ready to start,” she noted.

• Meeting as the Water Utilities Board, Curtis reported for Water Superintendent Chuck Gray that ‘we were lucky during this cold freeze and thaw that there were no major breaks in the lines and we got through it as well as can be expected.’

BUSINESS

Old National Bancorp partners with United Bancorp, Inc. Evansville-based Old National Bancorp (NASDAQ: ONB) (‘Old National’) and Ann Arbor-based United Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQB: UBMI) (‘United’), jointly announced the execution of a definitive agreement under which Old National will partner with United through a stock and cash merger.

With nearly $919 million in total assets, an additional $869 million in wealth management assets under management, and a $963 million loan servicing portfolio, United is a bank holding company with United Bank & Trust as its wholly-owned subsidiary. United Bank & Trust currently operates 18 full-service banking centers spanning four Southern Michigan counties.

Combined with Old National’s 18 current Michigan branches, this partnership will double Old National’s Michigan presence to 36 total branches.

Founded in Evansville in 1834, with $9.7 billion in assets and nearly 170 branches, Old National is the largest financial services holding company headquartered in Indiana and the fourth largest deposit holder in the Hoosier state. Old National Bank also has branches in Southern Illinois, Western Kentucky and Louisville.

“We are incredibly excited about this partnership, which introduces Old National to the vibrant community of Ann Arbor and significantly expands our presence throughout Southern Michigan,” said Old National President & CEO Bob Jones.

“United Bank & Trust has earned a reputation for exceptional, highly individualized client service, which is a testament to the

strong leadership team in place. Todd Clark, United Bank & Trust’s President, will join our team and lead our expansion in Michigan as Regional President. We couldn’t be more thrilled about the growth opportunities this partnership provides, and we look forward to earning the continued loyalty and business of United Bank & Trust clients.”

“The United Board and Management Team believe the partnership with Old National will deliver significant value for our shareholders and give them the opportunity to realize additional value in the future as a shareholder of Old National,” commented United CEO Bob Chapman.

“We are very excited about the long-lasting synergies that will be generated through this partnership between our very client-centric organizations,” said United President Todd Clark.

“Our cultures, core values, strategies and “Solutions Together” approaches align very well, and we are both committed to every community we serve. We are convinced this partnership will greatly benefit our shareholders, co-workers, clients and communities over the long run and look forward to joining the tremendous team of dedicated professionals at Old National.”

In celebration of this partnership, Old National and United announced their intention to collectively donate an additional $20,000 to United Way organizations throughout United’s markets.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, which was unanimously approved by the boards of both companies, sharehold-

ers of United will receive .70 shares of Old National common stock and $2.66 in cash for each share of United common stock. Based upon the January 6, 2014, closing price of $15.02 per share of Old National common stock, the transaction is valued at approximately $13.17 per share of United common stock, or approximately $173.1 million. The transaction value is likely to change due to fluctuations in the price of Old National common stock. The exchange ratio is also subject to adjustment under certain circumstances as provided in the merger agreement.

The transaction is expected to close late in the 2nd quarter of 2014. The transaction remains subject to approval by United’s shareholders and approval by federal and state regulatory authorities as well as the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions provided in the merger agreement. The merger agreement also provides that United Bank & Trust will be consolidated into Old National Bank.

Old National was advised by Raymond James & Associates, Inc. and the law firm of Krieg DeVault LLP. United was advised by Sandler O’Neill + Partners, L.P. and the law firm of Warner Norcross & Judd LLP. The United Bank & Trust branch offices included in the partnership are five offices in Washtenaw County, Mich., one office in Livingston County, Mich., a total of 10 offices located in Lenawee County, Mich., and two offices in Monroe County, Mich.

Local youth score with assist from CountryMark, County Commissioners CountryMark and the Posey County Commissioners announced an approved plan that will lead to better recreational facilities for local youth and an increased buffer zone around CountryMark’s refinery campus.

Earlier this year, CountryMark purchased two parcels of land located south of the CountryMark campus, off of Smith Road in Mount Vernon. The ground had been farmed and CountryMark’s interest in the property was to increase the buffer zone on the south side the company’s campus.

Of the two newly acquired CountryMark parcels, the southern parcel, the farthest away from the CountryMark campus, became a discussion point between CountryMark and the County.

The County owned a

similar sized parcel of land on O’Donnell Road east of the County Jail and the newly acquired CountryMark property. This County-owned property on O’Donnell Road was home to youth soccer fields and bordered the CountryMark campus on its north and east side.

“In conversations with the County, it became more logical for CountryMark and the County to swap properties,” said CountryMark Vice President of Operations Pat Ward. “The County’s property was closer to our refinery providing an ideal buffer zone for the CountryMark campus, while the southern portion of CountryMark’s newly acquired land offered real potential for community use and increasing property values in the area.”

To assist the County with the land swap, CountryMark added $125,000 to the agreement for the County to use in relocating the recreational facilities, including the youth soccer fields currently located off O’Donnell Road. The soccer fields will remain at their current site this spring, while the County researches potential sites for the new recreational facilities.

“We’re confident that with outstanding local leadership, community involvement, and our financial contribution, the new soccer fields and recreational facilities will be a great source of pride for the young people of our community for years to come,” said Ward.

Ward also noted this land swap will not impact Posey County’s yard waste site, which currently operates

Mount Vernon School Board elects Higgins as president

By Lois Mittino Gray After a unanimous vote by her peers, Beth McFadin Higgins took gavel in hand as president of the Mount Vernon School Board at its first regular meeting of the new year. Heather Allyn was elected as vice-president and Mark Isaac was elected secretary. Mary Buchanan will continue to serve in her role as Treasurer and Loren Evans was appointed as Deputy Treasurer.

The group agreed that meeting dates and times will remain the same in 2014 and they are the first and third Monday of each month at 5:45 p.m., at the junior high school.

In other routine beginning of a new year business, the board set its salary at the present rate of $1889 per year, $106 for the second regular meeting of each month, and $59 for special meetings, such as committee work. Mileage reimbursement for business was increased from 44

cents a mile to 46 cents, which will be the rate for anyone within the entire corporation. The law firm of VanHaaften and Farrar was hired to serve as legal counsel for the corporation at the rate of $165 an hour.

Resolutions were passed to allow the use of signature stamps for signing payrolls, vouchers and extracurricular account checks. In some cases, permission was granted to write checks before vouchers were approved by the board. School Superintendent Tom Kopatich explained this is a past practice that makes good business sense to take advantage of discount pricing and specials. A list of personnel and the accounts they manage was authorized and permission was granted to invest surplus school district funds into income investment accounts to help the 2014 budget.

In other board action: • Board members were wowed to

hear that the Mount Vernon DECA team won first place for the fifteenth consecutive year in the District Ten competition. In addition, all 64 students who competed placed in the top five in their respective categories which qualified them to compete at the state level in the spring.

It was announced that Academic All State honors went to football players Kristopher McKinney and Michael Cannato and All Area honor was awarded to Ryker Slocum.

• The board entered into an agreement with the Teamsters Local 215 and the school district bus drivers and attendants for 2014. Business Director Loren Evans said “We put a little more money in their pockets.

We gave them a stipend over two percent and agreed to pay for their required CDL physical up front so they have no out of pocket expenses.”

• In personnel matters, the board

confirmed the employment of Jennifer Jones as a teacher assistant/ computer lab at Marrs Elementary and Shirley Koonce as a bus driver.

Lori Higgins intent to retire effective January 13 was accepted. Logan Gregory resigned as a custodian effective December 16.

• Four staff members were given permission to attend educational meetings. Kopatich explained that Keshia Seitz will be a presenter at the American Educational Research Association national conference in April in Philadelphia. It will not cost the corporation for her travel as she is working on her doctorate at Indiana University and that institution is footing the bill. She will talk to the board about the experience afterwards.

• Permission for Sunday activities was granted to Angelus to participate in a work session at the University of Evansville and per-

form at the Neu Chapel on Sunday, January 28. Several high school art students were approved to travel to Chicago to see the art museums and other attractions on the weekend of February 14-16. PAWS wrestling organization requested use of the high school gym for an elementary meet on Sunday, January 19 and it was granted.

• Informational items presented to the board included the school lunch menu for January, School Lunch Fund Report for November, and the Accuplacer Test. Future topics include the bully policy which should be ready February 1, school athletic facility improvements and Teamsters Memorandum of Understanding.

• The next board meeting will be Monday, January 20 at 5:45 p.m.

Seeds of the Sower What does it take to ‘go beyond?’ Education? Wealth?

Family? Networking? Occupation? Power?

What about ‘going beyond’ for the Christian? Is it any different?

The first Psalm almost explodes with a joyful exclamation of one who ‘goes beyond.’ That one is called ‘blessed.’ And it is not just anyone. It is ‘the one’ - the one who is genuinely ‘glad’ to be a follower of Christ.

To look at some who profess to be followers of the

by Michael Guido

Lord does not provide an answer. They do not seem to be satisfied with life, have a sense of peace about them or look forward to life with expectancy and joy. They appear ‘ordinary.’ They give the world the wrong impression of what God has to offer us through Christ.

The first Psalm provides the ‘do’s’ and ‘do not’s’ to ‘go beyond’ the ordinary Christian and become an extraordinary Christian.

Negatively, the extraordinary Christian does not fol-

low the advice of the wicked, spend time talking to them, listening to their advice and even avoids being in their presence whenever possible.

Positively, the extraordinary Christian takes pleasure in honoring God, following His teachings and being obedient to His Word.

The extraordinary Christian is always seeking ways to grow into the likeness of Christ, to follow His teachings and to worship Him daily.

Lady Cats defeat Buss, Mount Carmel in upset

Senior Ellen Foster puts the ball up in the lane in a recent home game.

Photo by Steve Kochersperger

By Steven Kochersperger The Mount Vernon girls’ basketball team is getting healthy and things are starting to finally click for the team. This week the girls’ came into their pair of Big Eight games with Mount Carmel and Vincennes Lincoln fighting as usual but also feeling good about welcoming back teammate Alexis Nall who has missed several week’s with an injury. The team focused on these two formidable Big Eight Conference opponents and it paid off with a pair of wins over the Golden Aces and the Alices to gain two more conference wins.

Mount Carmel came into Thursday night’s game in Mount Vernon with an impressive record and only had felt the sting of defeat twice this season. Indiana University signee Tyra Buss was sure to put on a show and did not disappoint as she added 38 points for the visiting Aces. Buss is not easy to stop and Mount Vernon tried everything they could to stop her. But in the end she took over the game scoring the majority of her team’s points and seemingly doing whatever she wanted with the basketball.

Mount Carmel came out of the gate shooting and took a 20-17 lead into the second period of play feeling good about what they were doing despite not shooting the ball very well as a team.

But Mount Carmel would find out the hard way that the game of basketball is a team sport as Mount Vernon spread the ball around to find the basket and ended up outscoring the Aces 13-8 in the second period to take the halftime lead at 30-28.

Mount Vernon would stretch that lead in the third period of play as they held Mount Carmel to just seven third period points. The Wildcats took a 45-35 lead into the final period knowing that Mount Carmel would make another run.

And that is exactly what the Aces did. Buss and her team clawed their way back into the game and with just 1:20 left in the contest found themselves down just three points at 58-55. But Mount Ver-

non would hold on behind some clutch free throw shooting and great teamwork to beat the Aces 6457 Thursday night to snap their three game losing streak.

“I am very proud of the girls on this team,” Mount Vernon head coach Steve Mitchell said about the win over Mount Carmel. “We played a great game on both ends of the floor for all four quarters and that is big in this game. We had balanced scoring and had a great team effort in guarding a great player like Tyra Buss. Overall, I am very pleased with the win and hope we can build on this win the rest of the way.”

Ellen Foster led the way once again for the Wildcats as she added 17 points against the Aces. Foster added most of these points from the charity stripe to help her team win the game. Fellow senior Cheyenne Strobel added 15 points for the Wildcats for her personal best performance of the season while sophomore Alexis Nall added 16, including two big three point baskets. Nall’s return is much needed as she adds a lot on both ends of the floor for the Wildcats going forward.

And while coach Steve Mitchell was happy about the upset win over the Golden Aces Thursday night, he just hoped the team would be able to build on that win as they traveled to Vincennes on Saturday to take on the Alices in yet another conference game.

The team did just what their coach wanted them to do as they stuck together to get their second win in a row beating Vincennes Lincoln 48-34 Saturday.

The Wildcats now find themselves with a 5-8 record overall and are now 2-3 in the Big Eight Conference.

The team is coming together at the right time as the schedule continues to roll along. The Wildcats will be in action this week at home against Tecumseh on Tuesday before heading to Heritage Hills on Saturday afternoon.

Lady Vikings come together for pair of big wins

By Dave Pearce It was an important week for the North Posey Lady Viking basketball team. The Lady Vikes were set to face 6-3 Tecumseh in an important Pocket Athletic Conference match on Thursday evening and then a potential sectional opponent in 7-7 Perry Central on Saturday. At the end of the week, the Vikings would either be in contention for a PAC crown or pretty much completely out of the race.

Perhaps Coach Tracy Stroud said it best at the end of the Tecumseh game on Thursday night.

“If we continue to play like this, the rest of the year is going to be fun,” Stroud said. “The girls have realized what they can do when they play as a team and I think they are enjoying it.”

And they must be as they were never threatened in either contest, defeating Tecumseh 60-33 and then the Lady Commodores by a 57-38 count.

Playing on the road is never easy and the Lady Braves are always tough. But on Thursday night, the Lady Vikes dominated the Braves after a close first quarter.

Kayla Sanford got the Vikings on the board with a rebound basket and Kesley Owen made one of two shots when she was fouled going to the basket. Owen then found teammate Hayley Harness open and the Vikings were up 5-2. Emma Werry, who came off the bench to lead the team with 14 points then buried a 15-footer. Sanford then found Werry open for her second straight bucket and Rachel Ungetheim then scored off an inbounds play. The end result of the first quarter found the Vikings with 11 points scored by five different players.

That was actually the theme of the

entire week as the Lady Vikings played unselfishly and appear to be coming together to challenge for a conference and/ or sectional title.

A sixth Viking got into the scoring column to open the second period when Madison Worman got on the board with five straight points. The Viking defense was equally impressive as the Lady Vikings took a 22-7 lead into half-time.

The Lady Braves were forced to speed up the tempo in the second half in an effort to generate some offense and get back into the game but the Lady Vikes were up to the challenge.

Tecumseh’s biggest weapon Brenna Floyd opened the second half with a 3-pointer but Worman matched it. The Harness sisters, Hannah and Haylee took turns scoring before Ungetheim again went to the bucket and was fouled. Her free throw gave the Vikings an insurmountable 32-10 lead mid-way through the period. The Vikings would lead 4419 heading into the final period.

Several reserves, who were also dominant in their game at Tecumseh, got into the action as Ally Brandenstein gathered four points and Blankenberger picked up a bucket to help the Vikings to their 60 points.

Besides Werry’s 14, Worman and Ungetheim each finished with nine while Hayley Harness had eight, Sanford had seven and Hannah Harness had six.

Saturday’s game was similar as North Posey built a 14-8 lead after one period and then put the defensive clamps on the Lady Commodores to build a 29-14 lead by half.

Sanford’s 3-point shots fell as she led the team with 14 points but again Werry would have a strong outing with ten. Un-

North Posey senior guard Emma Werry comes up with a steal during this week’s action at Tecumseh. Werry led the team with 14 points and added 10 more in a win over Perry Central on Saturday. The Lady Vikings are now 8-7 on the season. getheimn was tough on the glass and finished with 11 points while Hayley Harness had nine and Worman had seven.

Owen finished with six points.

This week, the Lady Vikings will travel to Heritage Hills for another big conference game that was rescheduled

due to the weather. They will then host an improved Pike Central team at noon on Saturday. Both games are conference games and conference wins are at a premium since the Lady Vikes stubbed their toe against Southridge in an earlier-season one-point home loss.

Wildcat swimmers make most of opportunities hosted the Evansville Memorial Tigers.

The meet began with the girls’ relay team of Rachel Burke, Drew Glover, Samantha Gowdy, and Clara Baggett cruising to victory in the 200 yard medley relay race. The team finished the race a full three seconds ahead of the Memorial second place relay team.

The girls continued their success when Claudia Crawford swam to victory in the 200 yard Freestyle race. Crawford, who continues to stack up wins under her belt, won with an impressive time of 2:03.63.

Wildcat juniors Clara Baggett and Rachel Burke finished one and two for the Cats in the 200 yard IM race before Samantha Gowdy won the 50 freestyle race to continue the great day for the girls team.

Overall the girls had no problem dispatching the Tigers as they cruised to yet another victory for Mount Vernon.

The boys did well but were not able to pick up the victory against Memorial Thursday evening. Jacob Poole continues to lead the way for the Wildcats as he won both the 200 yard IM race and the 100 yard butterfly races.

In diving action Thursday night Mount Vernon’s Katie McDonald put up some great numbers with a total of 192 points but fell well short of Memorial’s Sarah Claudia Crawford gives all she as she continues to have success with the Mount Vernon Hayhurst who scored an impressive 241 swim team. Photo by Steve Kochersperger points to take home first in diving.

By Steven Kochersperger With only a month left until sectional swimming and diving the Mount Vernon Wildcats looked to tune things up and continue to improve this week. The teams did just that as several swimmers and divers set personal bests on their way to a successful week. The girls team beat Memo-

rial on Thursday before defeating Tell City and Vincennes on Saturday while the boys team lost to Memorial but bounced back by beating Tell City and Vincennes Lincoln.

All in all it was a week that will hopefully propel the Wildcats towards more victories in the last month of the season.

On Thursday the boys and girls both

The split against the Tigers helped Mount Vernon feel really good about what they are doing in the pool and set up even more success on Saturday as they hosted the Vincennes Lincoln Alices and the Tell City Marksmen.

The usual suspects had their great days for Mount Vernon girls’ and boys’ teams with several members having career best times and scores.

Some of those who had lifetime bests were Amanda Duckworth in diving, Taylor Culley, Josie Mercer, Jordan Crabtree, and Bailey Shumate. Crabtree had his personal best in the 100 yard butterfly race beating his old time by .02. All of those athletes should be proud of their great accomplishments and helped Mount Vernon easily beat the Marskmen and Alices on Saturday.

In diving Katie McDonald continued to lead the way for the Wildcats becoming the first diver in Mount Vernon to surpass 215 points since 2001. McDonald is now only 9.8 points away from Gretchen Bandoli’s school record set back in 1995.

The wins now propell Mount Vernon forward in their schedule and both teams look to continue their success this week.

The swimmers and divers will be back at home this Thursday afternoon as they host Boonville in the last duel meet before traveling to the Big Eight Conference meets next week.

Wildcats take Round One of annual Posey battle

By Steven Kochersperger The Mount Vernon boys basketball team came into Saturday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game with North Posey looking to bounce back after falling to Tell City Friday night. The Vikings and the Wildcats both were eager to get on the win column especially against their cross county rivals. North Posey came out early and set the tone in Saturday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contest but it was Mount Vernon who hung on and took control in the final period to beat the Vikings 62-55 for their third win of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was important to play well tonight,â&#x20AC;? Mount Vernon head coach Marc Hostetter said after the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t focused on our wins and losses because we are not ready as a group to just be about winning and losing. We are focused on getting better every day and playing better

together. Tonight I think we got better as the game went on and it showed. â&#x20AC;&#x153; North Posey came out and hit some shots to take an early lead over the Wildcats in the first period of play. Senior Michael Bender and junior James Marshall hit some big shots early on to keep North Posey in front. The Vikings seemed to continue to turn Mount Vernon over and convert on those turnovers and when the first period came to an end North Posey led 14-9.

It took Mount Vernon until the second period to really get going and the Cats took their first lead of the game when Bryce Newman hit an important jumper midway through the period. Teammate Colton Irvinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dunk with a minute till halftime seemed to give Mount Vernon the lift they needed and the Cats led at halftime by a score of 25-24.

But North Posey would not just lay down in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contest. Mount Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bryce Newman would score 12 of the home teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15 third period points but the Vikings played together to keep it close and put themselves in a position to lead at the end of the period. James Marshallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s layup with just ten seconds left in the third period put North Posey ahead 39-38 heading into the final period of play.

Viking James Marshall helped North Posey stretch their lead in the beginning of the fourth period but Mount Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zach French hit two straight baskets to tie the game at 42-42 early on. North Posey then took back the lead on Damon Cardinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tip in but it was at this point that Mount Vernon went on a 11-0 run to place themselves firmly ahead 53-44.

North Posey would chip away at that lead and eventually found themselves back in the game when Viking senior Cody Ungetheim hit a big three point basket with just 1:20 to play in the game. That three pointer made the game 57-52 in favor of Mount Vernon. Just over ten seconds later Michael Bender hit two free throws to cut the lead to four points at 58-54 but Mount Vernon would hit their free throws to ice the game in the end and walk away winners over North Posey 62-55 Saturday night.

That big fourth quarter was something that Mount Vernon needed and coach Hostetter said he was pleased with after the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was pleased with our fourth quarter overall,â&#x20AC;? Hostetter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be passive with the ball with North Poseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Reed Gerteisen tries to lay the ball up in the score close and I was pleased with how we handled the Friday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at Mount Vernon.

USI falls to defending champ Drury, now 11-1 The eighth-ranked University of Southern Indiana men’s basketball team could not sustain a second half comeback and lost to third-ranked Drury University, 64-56, Saturday afternoon in the Physical Activities Center. USI falls to 11-1 overall and 3-1 in the GLVC, while Drury, the defending NCAA Division II national champion, rises to 12-1 overall, 4-1 GLVC. The Screaming Eagles scored the initial bucket, but that would be their only lead of the game as the Panthers used an 18-4 run to post a 12-point margin, 18-6, with 10:58 left to play in the opening half. Drury would extend the lead to as many as 14 points, four times, including the halftime score of 35-21.

USI had trouble getting on track in the first half, shooting 22.9 percent (8-35) and was 0-of-7 from beyond the three-point arc.

In the second half, the Eagles started to get back into gear offensively and slowly chipped away at the deficit after the Panthers extended the lead to 15 points, 42-27, with 16:26 to play. USI would close the gap to two points, 55-53, with 2:04 to play, but would go one-of-five from the field in the final minutes in stumbling for the first time in 2013-14, 6456.

USI shot much better in the second half, hitting 43.8 percent from the field (14-32).

They squad still had trouble from long distance, going 0-of-4 in the final 20 minutes and 0-of-11 for the contest.

Individually, senior forward Aaron Nelson (Chicago Heights, Illinois) continued his dominance of the paint with his USI-record 12th-straight double-double. Nelson was the only Eagle to score in double-digits with 29 points, while grabbing a team-high 13 rebounds.

The Eagles complete the four-game homestand next week when they hosts Saint Joseph’s College January 16 and the University of Indianapolis January 18. USI is slated to

celebrate the 20th-anniversary of the 199394 men’s basketball team that was the NCAA Division II national finalist.

Wildcat wrestlers continue to improve record, skills

By Steven Kochersperger Mount Vernon Wildcat wrestling coach Tim Alcorn could not be happier with the way his season continues to play out. As with most coaches Coach Alcorn could always find room for improvement but after this weekends Paoli Invitational he is flying high after watching his team improve and go 4-1.

That record crowned Mount Vernon as the co champions of the Invitational.

“I am very happy with where we are at right now,” coach Alcorn said. “This time of the year we are grinding away as the toughest part is always health. We are looking for ways to keep healthy and rest when we can but I am very pleased with how we wrestled at Paoli especially in how we came together as a team and came out winners.”

Mount Vernon started the Invitational by taking on Jennings County. The Wildcats took to the mat and didn’t disappoint their fans or themselves beating Jennings County 38-27 in a match that became tougher than most would have imagined.

Eastern Pekin would be the Wildcat’s next opponent and they would not give Mount Vernon as much of a fight as Jennings County did. Mount Vernon won almost every single match up with Pekin easily defeating them 68-9 for their second straight win in the Invitational.

Mitchell High School would also feel the Wildcat wrath as Mount Vernon defeated them 68-12 before having to wrestle a tough Southridge team.

Not only is Southridge a very talented wrestling team, the Wildcats had three junior varsity wrestlers that had to replace some regulars at spots and they seemed to be very over matched. Southridge gave Mount Vernon ev-

erything they had and were able to beat the Wildcats in a close match up 36-28 for Mount Vernon’s only loss in the Invitational.

“That was a tough match up with Southridge,” Alcorn said. “There are no excuses but we walked away from that loss feeling really good. Anytime you wrestle a talented team like that with three junior varsity wrestlers and still lose by only eight points you can’t hang your head about that.”

The Wildcats seemed to just move on after a tough loss like that and took on the host team Paoli in their fifth and final matchup of the day. Mount Vernon took advantage of all Paoli would give them and beat the host team 75-6 in the final matchup of the invitational.

Overall the team went 4-1 on the day and have improved their overall record to 22-3 on the year. Mount Vernon is just a few weeks away from wrestling in the sectionals and feel very good about where they sit right now. If they can get a little bit healthier and continue to improve like they have not only is a sectional title possible but the season might just be extended in the post season for a nice run.

Freshman Paul Konrath continues his amazing run as he was one of five Mount Vernon wrestlers that went unbeaten in the Paoli Invitational this weekend. Konrath is now undefeated on the season and is ranked on top of the 106 pound weight class state rankings.

Noah Keller also went unbeaten for Mount Vernon at Paoli as he defeated each and every opponent he met up with in the 120-pound weight class.

Austin Bethel found himself undefeated in Paoli in the 126 pound weight class as did Luke Ripple in the heavy weight class. The fifth and final Mount Vernon wrestler who

LEGALS/GENERAL 2014-06 NOTICE OF REAL PROPERTY COMMISSIONERS’ CERTIFICATE SALE Posey County Indiana Beginning 10:00 AM, March 10, 2014 Local Time STATE OF INDIANA POSEY COUNTY Pursuant to the laws of the Indiana General Assembly and by resolution of the Posey County Commissioners, notice is hereby given that the following described tracts or items of real property are listed for sale for delinquent taxes and / or special assessments.

The minimum sale prices listed below are less than the minimum sale prices when offered in the immediately preceding county tax sale held under Section 5 of I.C. 6-1.124-5 and include all fees and expenses of the county directly attributable to the Commissioners’ Certificate Sale.

The Posey County Commissioners will accept bids for the certificates of sale, for the price referred to in IC 6-1.1-246.1(a)(3), by public auction on March 10, 2014 at 10:00 AM Courthouse Time at the Hovey House; Commissioners’ Room.

A person redeeming each tract or item of real property after the sale of the certificate must pay: (A) the amount of the minimum bid under Section 5 of IC 6-1.1-24 for which the tract or item of real property was last offered for sale; (B) ten percent (10%) of the amount for which the certificate is sold; (C) the attorney’s fees and costs of giving notice under IC 6-1.1-25-4.5; (D) the costs of a title search or of examining and updating the abstract of title for the tract or item of real property; (E) all taxes and special assessments on the tract or item of real property paid by the purchaser after the sale of the certificate plus interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum on the amount of taxes and special assessments paid by the purchaser on the redeemed property; and (F), all costs of sale, advertising costs, and other expenses of the county directly attributable to the sale of the certificate.

If the certificate is sold for an amount more than the minimum bid under Section 5 of IC 6-1.1-24 for which the tract or item of real property was last offered for sale and the property is not redeemed, the owner of record of the tract or item of real property who is divested of ownership at the time the tax deed is issued may have a right to the tax sale surplus.

Indiana law prohibits a person who owes delinquent taxes, special assessments, penalties, interest, or costs directly attributable to a prior tax sale, from purchasing tracts or items of real property at a tax sale. Prior to bidding at a tax sale, each bidder must affirm under the penalties for perjury that he or she does not owe delinquent taxes, special assessments, penalties, interest, costs directly attributable to a prior tax sale, amounts from a final adjudication in favor of a political subdivision in this county, any civil penalties imposed for the violation of a building code or or-

dinance of this county, or any civil penalties imposed by a health department in this county. Further, each bidder must acknowledge that any successful bid made in violation of the above statement is subject to forfeiture. In the event of forfeiture, the bid amount shall be applied to the delinquent taxes, special assessments, penalties, interest, costs, judgments, or civil penalties of the ineligible bidder, and a certificate will be issued to the county executive.

The Commissioners specifically reserve the right to withhold from the sale any parcel which has been listed in error, or which otherwise becomes ineligible for sale either prior to the start or during the duration of the auction. The Auditor’s Office does not warrant the accuracy of the key numbers or street addresses published herein and any misstatement in the key number or street address does not invalidate an otherwise valid sale.
