North Posey District teachers awarded excellence grant

By Valerie Werkmeister Some MSD of North Posey teachers who do their best in the classroom will reap the benefits of their hard work in the form of cold, hard cash. Thanks to the award from the Indiana Department of Education, an Indiana’s Excellence in Performance for Teacher’s grant, North Posey is set to receive $240,000. Superintendent Dr. Todd Camp made the announcement that the district had received the award during the board meeting, Monday, January 14.

Teachers who are given the designation of “effective” or “highly effective” on their evaluations will receive a special cash award at the end of this school year. North Posey is one of 40 other schools who received the grant.

Another exciting announcement was the opening of the new clinic for district personnel use. Employees who currently receive health insurance through the school district will be allowed to visit the clinic on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Administrators are hopeful to see a reduction in

Finances appear to be looking up in Mount Vernon School District

By Pam Robinson All things considered, the Metropolitan School District of Mount Vernon could report a primarily positive outlook for its finances during the Board of Finance and Mount Vernon School Board meetings on Monday, Jan. 21, 2013.

Just before school board members met for their regular meeting, they met as the Board of Finance to elect a president and secretary—as customary, selecting the president, Kathy Weinzapfel, and secretary, Heather Allyn, of the school board to fill the positions. Then, Loren Evans, Director of Business and Technology, presented the 2012 investment report.

The 2012 investment report focused on two areas 1) scholarships and 2) the general fund and other specific funds. Currently, United Fidelity Bank manages scholarship investments at an interest rate of .75 percent or three quarters of 1 percent. As a result, some scholarships will be lower because earnings are lower. Old National Bank, or ONB, is managing general fund and other specific fund investments, and Evans said that the administration is pleased with ONB’s management. He added that the administration will be looking for ways to produce as much income as possible from its investments.

With the brief Board of Finance meeting concluded, the subsequent Mount Vernon School Board meeting focused again on school district finances. Evans presented the board with the December 2012 financial statement, the 2012 expenditure and revenue summary, the 2012 property tax summary, and the appropriation transfers within the general fund to close out the 2012 budget year.

At the end of the year, the school district could report in its financial statement that 96.38 percent of the general fund budget had been expended and that 85.95 percent of the transportation budget had been expended. The figures mean the general fund came in $570,000 under budget while the transportation fund came in $300,000 under budget. Coming in under budget allowed the general fund to be within $23,000 of being in the black, as reported in the 2012 expenditure and revenue summary.

In reviewing the 2012 property tax summary, Evans pointed out

health insurance premiums, teacher absenteeism due to illness and healthier employees through utilization of the clinic.

Currently, district personnel who do not take health insurance through the corporation are not eligible to visit the health clinic. Administrators stated they hope to open this option in the future.

As is customary during the first meeting of the New Year, board members conducted elections for new officers. Stephen Bender was chosen as the new board president, replacing Joe Neidig. Neidig will serve as vice president, Linda O’Riskey was re-elected as board secretary.

Carol Lupfer was reappointed as the corporation treasurer and Jayme Bender will continue as the deputy treasurer. William H. Bender will continue as the school board attorney.

Stephen Bender was nominated to serve on the board of finance with Geoff Gentil appointed as president and James Scarafia appointed as treasurer.

In addition, Gentil will also serve as the board’s policy liai-

son and Neidig will serve as the legislative liaison.

The board voted to keep their current compensation package without any increase. They currently receive $2,000 per year with an additional $100 per meeting with 12 total meetings making the total salary $3,200 per year.

Steve Bender, Gentil, Neidig and O’Risky all signed conflict of interest statements.

A K-6 reading textbook committee was approved for both North (NE) and South Terrace Elementary Schools (STES).

The committee includes seven teachers from each school, one per grade level. The committee members are scheduled to attend a workshop on February 5, in Huntingburg to review potential books. Their recommendations will be presented later to the parent committees for a final decision.

In other business, the board approved:

Donated signs will be displayed on existing poles

By Valerie Werkmeister A sign donation offer for the Harmony Hundred and the Great Pumpkin Metric for the Evansville Bicycle Club was met with some reluctance by Posey County Commissioners. The topic was discussed during their meeting Tuesday, January 15.

Commissioner Carl Schmitz spoke from an agricultural standpoint noting it is difficult for farmers to maneuver their equipment on narrow roads with signs. Farmers must often stop to allow traffic through because a sign is alongside the road. Commissioners also urged cyclists to obey the laws of the road and mind stop signs instead of proceeding through intersections.

Commissioner Jim Alsop pointed out that the Harmony Hundred is a large fundraiser for the Ribeyre Gymnasium restoration project. He proposed accepting the sign donation and posting them on existing poles and not adding any new Members of the North Posey High School senior class converge following the announcement that Courtney Crowder and Alec Werry are the school basketball homecoming king and queen this year.Also poles.

Murals keeping fairy tales alive at Marrs Elementary

By Pam Robinson The walls are talking at Marrs Elementary School library, thanks to the magical murals of artists Claire Wezet and Peg Heckman, also the art teacher at Marrs. The colorful, detailed paintings present scenes from classic fairy tales. Both Wezet and Heckman credit Marrs librarian Krista Fisher with the idea for turning her library into an enchanted educational environment for students.

Fisher meets with Marrs students, K-5, in library classes once a week. She reads them a variety of stories, but always includes fairy tales.

Two months ago with funding from Marrs PTO, she commissioned Wezet and Heckman to design and paint murals of some of the children’s favorite fairy tales.

“I didn’t want fairy tales to go forgotten,” Fisher comments.

Artist Claire Wezet shares Fisher’s love for fairy tales. A 2012 USI graduate, Wezet studied English composition and literature during college, and has studied art all her life.

“My interests in art and literature intertwined in this project,” she states.

Wezet has completely designed and painted the first two murals in the project. She first featured Cinderella and her pumpkin carriage in a huge landscape marked with the clock tower and castle. More recently, she painted Rapunzel letting her golden hair down from her own tower.

By the end of 2013, Wezet plans to add a forest scene with characters from several stories set in this landscape—Hansel and Gretel as well as characters running from the Big Bad Wolf, namely Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Little Pigs. In addition, she wants to create a mural of the Frog Prince and, perhaps, Peter Pan.

Marrs art teacher Peg Heckman is now creatClaire Wezet is the daughter of Mark and ing a mural of Jack and the Beanstalk. In the end, Susan Wezet of Mount Vernon.

Her sister, Meg, is studying sodents aren’t distracted by the work in progress. cial work at USI. The project requires long hours for Wezet, who works full-time at a retail store, primarily to pay for supplies to create the art she so much loves.

Student response to the murals has been only positive.

“We’re bringing the fairy tales to life on the walls,” Wezet says. “The kids are excited and notice what’s new every day.”

The murals are a departure from Wezet’s typical abstract style using mixed media (fabric, vintage wallpaper, objects) to create cityscapes and landscapes. She’s learning to appreciate the rave review of her character paintings. Already, several Marrs PTO members have commissioned her to paint such contemporary characters as Hello Kitty and Phineas and Claire Wezet, Krista Fisher and Peg Heckman show off murals at Marrs Elementary School.

Black Township to require drug tests for financial assistance Black Township Trustee, Lindsay Suits, along with her Advisory Board began 2013 by implementing drug testing for those seeking financial assistance.

Suits states, “This is a necessary step that the board and I did not come to lightly. It was necessary because most of our clients are currently unemployed and if dependent on drugs they will not be a candidate for employment leaving them likely dependent on township assistance.” Suits went on to say, “Employers find drug testing so useful they are willing to spend millions of dollars.”

Almost all companies have drug testing policies in place

ThePCN

for their employees. A study conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management in 2011 showed approximately 65 percent of U.S. employers conduct drug tests on all job candidates. Furthermore, the U.S. Labor Department has said states can require “being available for work” to include being drug-free. Currently, the State of Indiana requires drug testing for everyone seeking job training.

“Now that we have looked at our nation and the Hoosier state policies, let’s bring it even closer to home,” states Suits. Local companies such as Sabic, Mead Johnson, GAF, and even the City of Mount Vernon have implemented drug

testing for employees.

The goal of Black Township is to break the cycle of dependency. “The first step to breaking this cycle of dependency is to help our clients prepare for gainful employment,” said Suits. “If we do not stop and begin to seek alternative, beneficial, and responsible changes, we will continue on this downward spiral of losing our future to drugs.”

“Drug abuse and addiction is a struggle that affects the entire community. We hope this intervention will help clients find what they need be free of the addiction and provide their family with hope,” says Suits.

Donated signs, From Page 1A and Schmitz agreed to the idea.

A progress update on Richard Porter’s property at 7265 Main Street in Wadesville was given to the commissioners. Porter’s house sustained a fire in 2011 and has been working to salvage as much material as possible. The commissioners had received some nuisance complaints and concerns regarding hazards on the property.

Building Commissioner Ed Battieger stated that there has been noticeable progress made on the house’s demolition. All of the siding on the outside of the house has been removed. Porter stated he has salvaged wood from his deck and estimates he has saved as much as $1,000 by doing so. Porter also stated the house is still sealed and boarded up and poses no hazards. He asked for additional time to continue the salvage and demolition process.

Alsop proposed another review in six months. At

that time, Porter’s permit will expire. Walden and Schmitz agreed to Alsop’s proposal.

Jim Heck, a representative from the Regional Workforce Board addressed the board regarding changes within his organization. He explained the board is transitioning to a Workforce Investment Board and the size of the board will double to 30 members. A chief elected official is required to represent Posey County’s interests on the board.

Current member, Mt. Vernon Mayor Tucker, has indicated he would like to step down from his position on the board. Walden stated he would be willing to serve in place of Mayor Tucker.

Scott Smith, Community Corrections Director, presented a $100 increase on the monthly lease agreement for the building the program is currently housed in. For the next six months, the monthly payment will be $1,050. The

commissioners approved the increase.

Alsop proposed the idea of possibly renovating the old jail to house this program in order to save the monthly recurring lease costs. He noted that it would not be a quick solution as it would take time for the renovations, but it’s an option the commissioners might explore.

The commissioners approved a request by Battieger to renew the software update with Fortis.

The software allows contractors to apply for permits electronically instead of driving to the county office to apply in person. The software also stores information electronically making it much easier for Battieger to access records.

Battieger and the county’s IT consultant, Charlie Chambliss, asked for the approval of Ricoh, USA to provide the county firewall and network services after it was recently discovered that a Youtube video was posted which gave instructions on how to break into the county firewall. The commissioners approved their request and will pay $10,800 for the service.

Commissioners approved Universal Valuation to conduct update notice appraisals and proof of loss service proposals on behalf of Schultheis Insurance Company. The third party company ensures

that what is being insured is accurate and will issue a report to Schultheis.

They will charge a rate of $415 to assess the personal property and $220 for the county building appraisals.

Emergency Medical Services’ final report for the year included a total of 2,266 runs. Of that total, 1,168 were initiated in Mt. Vernon, 415 in New Harmony, 279 in Poseyville and 404 in St. Phillips.

The billing services company lowered their bill collection rate from 7 percent to 6.75 percent for 2013 billing. A total of $622,926 was collected in 2012. In comparison, only $469,000 was collected in 2010 when Posey County did its own billing.

Highway Superintendent Steve Schenk reported that a number of Posey County roads were still under water at the time of Tuesday’s meeting.

Schenk urged drivers not to drive around high water signs and then call for help when vehicles became stuck in the high water.

Work on the re-building the new bridge behind Wesselman’s Shopping Center in Mount Vernon had not begun yet. The county is still waiting for the sewer line to be removed from the bridge by the City of Mount Vernon.

Finances, From Page 1A that the property tax distribution did not include any money in the general fund. He added that the school district’s property tax distribution was $350,000 short—the result of delinquent taxes and circuit break credits to taxpayers.

In closing out all budget accounts for 2012, a year-end routine approved by the board, two appropriation transfers were made within the general fund to finish the year with non-negative appropriation. Both transfers were from account 11000, personnel and instructional materials. One transfer of $43,864.31 was made to account 17000, transfer tuition, to cover expenses related, for example, to high school vocational school training. Another transfer of $22,704.86 was made to account 26000, operation and maintenance. Evans emphasize the transfer was not to cover facility maintenance, but rather to cover property and casualty insurance on buildings, grounds and liability for which the full amount was not budgeted.

The school district’s finances are in especially good shape considering the school district was down by 20 students at mid-year. School officials will submit another student count in February, at which time the state funding level could go down again for Mount Vernon. Looking forward to 2013, the administration is planning to be under budget in the general fund again, especially since the budget includes $400,000 more in expenses than in revenue.

Dr. Tom Kopatich, Superintendent of Schools, noted that the district has not had to cut programs or services thus far.

He remains optimistic that the MSD of Mount Vernon will continue to move forward.

Brenda Ketcham blesses her community with many acts of kindness...

Mount Vernon native Brenda Ketcham is a great example of a good neighbor to the community. In her former life of employment, she served as a teacher’s aide for three teachers at the junior high after having run an in-home daycare when her three sons were small.

Some may remember her smile at the cosmetics department in DeJong; many more will recall her small catering business.

In her current life of “re-

tirement,” Ketcham gives back, if possible, even more to her community— and all without pay.

She is president of the 19-member Friendship Circle home extension club. For the past three years, her club has hosted dinner for all Posey County home extension clubs.

Likewise, she is president (serving her fourth term now) of the Mount Vernon Garden Club. She has (literally) dug in to beautify Mount Vernon’s down-

town and riverfront and to clear a path for the Azalea Trail.

At her beloved First United Methodist Church, she serves with Caring Hearts, a ministry to people, both inside and outside the church, needing meals or visits. She is the leader of Rachel’s Circle, a group of United Methodist Women, who meet once a month to hear from social service leaders about volunteer opportunities in Mount Vernon.

Ketcham has just recently become involved with First UMC’s harp ministry to nursing homes and hospitals. As she learns to play her Japanese harp, she will teach children to play in a special outreach program for local students.

Brenda married Elberfeld native Steve Ketcham, a retired Purdue mechanical engineer and member of Wolfgang, 44 years ago in April. The couple has three grown sons and five grandchildren.

She hosted 60 events within her first year of business alone.

“We’re too big to be little anymore,” says

Risley, who previously owned Illusions Bridal, the largest bridal shop in the state of Indiana, for 16 years in Vincennes.

Until now, she has met clients in office space on Church Street in New Harmony and has stored her props in three separate warehouses. Now, she can locate everything under one roof at the corner of Main and Tavern streets. She has leased the entire first floor complex in the building that once

and the New Harmony Inn conference center. She knows to count on the excellence of New Harmony’s restaurants and quaint guest houses and bed and breakfast as well.

Risley believes a horse and carriage ride through town will allow visitors to share in the romance of the town, seeing it offers a little of everything for weddings and special events.

“Everyone hated to see the cinema close, but New Harmony just can’t afford to do things the Hollywood way,” Risley comments. “I’m happy the cinema can still be used for the community, especially the kids.”

Risley envisions her business creating an “active corner,” especially during the summer, where families and teens can enjoy special gatherings. She encourages New Harmony residents to share their ideas for community use of the space at Events of Harmony by calling her at 682-3310.

She is looking forward, for example, to Tuxedo Night when guys can rent their tuxedos for prom. The evening will include refreshments and fittings, complete with on-site alterations for tuxes. Risley is proud to offer tuxedos from Jim’s Formalwear, the number one company of its kind in America.

In the meantime, Events of Harmony will be open by appointment with a call to Robin Risley at 682-3310, a number she checks regularly for messages.

USI students provide free tax assistance Through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA), USI student volunteers will provide free income tax preparation on Wednesdays, February 6 through April 10.

"We have nine students enrolled in the program, and this will allow us to help approximately 16 taxpayers per night this tax season,” said Brett Long, associate professor of accounting and business law. “Preparing tax returns for members of our community is a great experience for our accounting students and a real savings for taxpayers.”

In VITA programs, the In-

housed Harmonie Haus Cinema.

Just this past Friday night, she met guests at her grand opening and led tours to show off her renovated surroundings at 515 Main Street. The bright pink cinema lobby has been transformed into an elegant reception area, where neutral-colored walls are dressed with paintings of brides and bridal flowers. A number of tables and chairs will allow for private party rental or even catered rehearsal dinners in this front section as well.

Originally, the building provided two theaters, one seating 54 and another seating nearly 90. Risley is using the smaller of the two theaters for storage and work space and has equipped the larger theater with a stage located directly in front of the big screen. Known as “Stage Left,” the larger theater will seat 81 guests now and is the perfect venue for small concerts or screenings where clients bring their own DVD’s to entertain a small group.

This coming Saturday, Feb. 2, Emily and Al Cantrell will hold the inaugural paid concert in Stage Left and showcase their bluegrass and Celtic music. Tickets may be purchased for $10 per person at the door.

Her own stage notwithstanding, Risley promotes New Harmony’s Under the Beam concerts as well. Indeed, she is appreciative not only of the musical talent brought to New Harmony, but also of such fine venues for events as the Rapp-Owen Granary

Mount Vernon City Council will research annexation proposal

By Pam Robinson Developer Charlie Lawrence’s annexation proposal piqued the interest of the Mount Vernon City Council during the Monday, Jan. 24, meeting. Lawrence wants to develop three streets with 67 lots on the Smith Road property north of Country Club Estates, where all lots are now developed. Eventually, he would like the City of Mount Vernon to provide the water and sewer mains and the blacktop for all three streets. For now, he would like the city to fund these services for one street with 23 lots.

During discussion, Lawrence stated that the development would be an open market for builders to construct homes on the lots. He said the homes would fall into the $150,000 - $250,000 price range. He added that he was interested in this development before the announcement of the fertilizer plant possibly coming to town and adding 300 jobs. In fact, Lawrence appeared before the Water Utility Board on Monday, April 23, 2012, to discuss the development of this same property.

The Lawrence Addition has room for 87 more homes, Lawrence commented. Those homes would typically fall in the $100,000 - $150,000 price range. Between the proposed development and the further development of Lawrence Addition, he added, the city is prepared for all kinds of housing.

John Taylor, Executive Director of the Posey County Economic Development Partnership, commented that definite word on the fertilizer plant would come in three to four weeks. He added that he wasn’t at liberty to discuss the project now.

Dr. Tom Kopatich, Superintendent of the MSD of Mount Vernon, also spoke, urging council to support new development. He emphasized, in particular, that proposed development would be in the Farmersville school district, which is prepared for more students. He said the MSD of Mount Vernon needs council’s support to encourage families with children to move into the area and boost the district’s currently declining enrollment numbers.

By consensus, council members agreed the city will do whatever it can to move the development forward. Water, sewer, street and fire department heads will look at Lawrence’s plans as soon as he gets copies to the city. Charlie Lawrence will also need to work with the Area Plan Commission concerning revised requirements for subdivisions. City Attorney Beth McFadin Higgins is contacting Jonathon Weinzapfel regarding the process for voluntary annexation. Weinzapfel’s firm is sending a proposal on a city annexation study for the review of city council members at their February 7 meeting. The city will also look at how to pay for helping with the development.

A tentative date of Thursday, Feb. 21, the second council meeting in February, was suggested for again discussing Lawrence’s proposal.

In other business: • When meeting as the Water Utility Board, council approved Change Order #3 on the Waterworks project. This change order addresses moving electrical equipment critical to the operation of the water treatment plant to an elevation at or above the 500 –year flood plain.

It was stated that the floor elevation of raw water pumps is 371’, but in the 1937 flood, water

The change order costs $171,800, to be paid in cash from operating and maintenance.

• Water Chairman Bill Curtis reported that Waterworks is looking into accepting credit cards for payment of customer bills. Issues must be resolved, however, before this idea could become a reality.

• Council passed changes to the zoning ordinance as recommended by the Area Plan Commission. Council members passed the changes on second reading, suspended the rules, and then passed the changes on third and final reading. Mindy Bourne with the Area Plan Commission was on hand to explain the changes. Numbered 13-1, the revised ordinance removes the number of domestic animals, namely dogs and cats, allowed in particular zoning districts. In addition, the revised ordinance concerns the site plan process: if a state release isn’t required, then a site plan review isn’t required. A local building permit will still be required.

The Mount Vernon City Council will meet again Thursday, Feb. 7, at 7 p.m. in the City Hall Annex. Council agreed by consensus to meet in private executive session at 6 p.m. the same evening.

Drums on the Ohio will return to Evansville this summer Drums on the Ohio is “bringing the music back” to Evansville this summer. The show will take place Wednesday June 26, 2013 at 7 p.m. at the Reitz Bowl. This competitive musical event, sanctioned by Drum Corps International (DCI), will feature six “World Class” national touring drum and bugle corps, including: Madison Scouts - Madison, WI - www.madisonscouts.org Spirit of Atlanta - Atlanta, GA - www.spiritdrumcorps.org Crossmen - San Antonio, TX - www.crossmen.org Blue Stars - LaCrosse, WI - www.bluestars.org Colts - Dubuque, IA - www.colts.org Troopers - Casper, WY - www.troopersdrumcorps.org

Drums on the Ohio began as a community musical event in 1978 sponsored by the Evansville Downtown Civitan Club. In the early 1980’s, the Civitan Club also sponsored the local “Imperial Guard” Drum & Bugle corps, while continuing to sponsor Drums on the Ohio for 30 years until 2007.

Noting the absence of competitive drum & bugle corps in the tri-state area in the ensuing years since 2007, members and friends of the F.J. Reitz Instrumental Music Boosters began dialoguing with members of the Civitan Club and then with Drum Corps International, and signed the contract with DCI late last fall to sponsor the 2013 show.

The six corps will feature a number of local musicians, including recent graduates of Castle and Reitz, students at the University of Evansville and other Indiana schools. In the coming months, these local corps members will be profiled on our facebook page, and these members will be the perfect local news tie-in for media the week of the show.

The traveling corps’ caravans will arrive in Evansville area during the very early hours of Wed, June 26, fresh off perfor-

mances in Cincinnati, OH and Battle Creek, MI the evening before. The will move into six tri-state high schools for the day, sleeping for a few hours on gym floors, and then perfecting their musical and visual programs in rehearsal all morning and afternoon in advance of the 7pm show at Reitz Bowl. All rehearsals are free and open to the public.

Evansville’s Drums on the Ohio is a stop on the DCI summer tour, one of 105 competitive musical events staged from coast to coast celebrating the competitive marching arts at its highest level. The national tour culminates with the Drum Corps International World Championships held in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium August 7-10, 2013.

Tickets for Drums on the Ohio go on sale Monday January 21, with reserved seats available online at www.dci.org. Reserved seats begin at $17, up to $40 for premium seat/parking/ food packages. Group ticket rates are also available for groups of 20 or more. The best seats will sell out quickly, and ticket prices will increase $5 the day of the show.

Seeds of the Sower As the Countess of Huntington lay dying, she said, “My work is complete, and I have nothing to do but to go to my Father.” Sarah, a woman of faith and courage whose story is found in the Old Testament, believed that her work was nearing completion. One day God spoke to her husband who was 100 years old and said to him, “Sarah will give you a son!”

When Sarah heard this, she laughed because she was 90 years old. God had a very special plan for her in her old age, even if she did not think it possible. God

knew that her work was not done. And just as God said, she gave birth to a son and named him Isaac. Sarah is an example of someone who trusted God, and became known as a woman of great faith.

There are days when each of us comes to the conclusion that our best days have passed us by. But

God never comes to that conclusion. His Word reminds us that the best is always in front of us and that we can always do more for Him and through Him. Our age does not matter. What matters is for us to always believe that God has something great for us to do.

The Women's Fund of Posey County is about strong, caring, and focused women determined to make a difference in the lives of our community's women and children.

At its heart, the Women's Fund is about women helping women.

The Women’s Fund is used to make yearly grants supporting a variety of resources serving women of all ages and children under the age of 18, such as programs that prevent domestic violence, secure family-supporting jobs, promote health and education and perhaps most importantly, develop confidence. In previous years, the fund has awarded grants to the University of Southern Indiana GO Robotics! (Girls Only Robotics) which recruited 16 girls in grades six through eight in Posey County to participate in two, one-half day workshops at USI to learn about and use LEGO robotics kits; Big Brothers Big Sisters to fund the cost of making and maintaining approximately two mentoring matches; and Susanna Wesley Nursery School to help the building

of student’s home libraries by giving them 4-5 books of their own.

The Foundation is pleased to announce that it is accepting grant proposals from nonprofit organizations serving Posey County which will support the Women’s Fund mission: to give opportunity, encouragement, knowledge and hope to our community’s women and children. Proposals are sought for charitable projects and activities that address needs and opportunities in health, human services, arts and culture, education, community development, and other areas that would improve the quality of life for women and children in Posey County.

Only those agencies or organizations which are tax exempt under sections 501 (c) (3) and 509 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code are eligible to apply. Multiple grants will be awarded from the total amount. The online application will open January 28, 2013 and proposals must be submitted electronically by 4:00 pm February 25, 2013.

Street, sewer and riverfront work occupy Board of Works

By Pam Robinson The Mount Vernon Board of Public Works and Safety agreed at their Thursday, Jan. 24, meeting for City Street Commissioner Roy Maynard to request quotes for Sawmill storm sewer work. Maynard will ask

contractors to meet him at the site for review of the work specifications he has completed. He stated that he hoped to contact more than three contractors and will ask the quotes be submitted to Clerk-Treasurer Cristi Sitzman no later than

Thursday, Feb. 7, at 11 a.m.

Quotes will be opened that same day at 4 p.m. during the Board of Works meeting.

Earlier, Wastewater Superintendent Rodney Givens reported the pipe down W. Second Street is cracked, and the contractor will need

to fix it. He said Aaron Burke with engineering firm Bernardin Lochmueller & Associates will meet with the contractor, Kieffer. He said it looks as if the backfill wasn’t done properly. He added that a one-year warranty is in effect from the

substantial completion date.

Near the end of the meeting, board member Steve Fuelling reported two items were left to complete at the riverfront: the electrical boxes and the concession stand.

At his recommendation, the board voted to approve the fabrication, mounting and plug-ins for five electrical boxes by Gottman Electric at a total cost of $7,625 ($1,525 each).

In other business: •Wastewater Superintendent Rodney Givens reported, according to his information, that the east side bridge project is still scheduled to be completed by mid-February. He added that the lift station should hold during the four-hour down time, and the VacCon truck will be there on standby.

•Street Commissioner

Roy Maynard reported he had cancelled attendance at the Purdue Pest Conference after finding that the course is offered at closer locations for a lower rate—and with the same amount of CEUs upon completion.

•Board member Fuelling reported that the pipe is onsite for work at the west side storm sewer project. Street Commissioner Maynard added that his department will be ready to begin work once Bernardin Lochmueller & Associates provide the elevations.

•Board member Bill Curtis is researching possible cost savings by receiving bids for the city’s gasoline.

The Mount Vernon Board of Public Works and Safety will meet again Thursday, Feb. 7, 2013, at 4 p.m. in the City Hall Annex.

Prominent Posey County citizens celebrated the opening of CSB’s new Mount Vernon branch on Friday afternoon. Seen here are: Christie Martin, Patty McClellan, Marilyn Marshall, Ruthanne Fendrich, Julie Mayer, Jacob Bartley, John Tucker, Ada Browning, Steven Bennett, Darrel Bates, Jean Schmitt, Eric Beasley, Greg Stover, Amy Graft, Doug Annakin and Brittany Johnson.

OPINION

Never too many church cooks in the kitchen Whoever said, “Too many cooks spoil the broth,” never shared the kitchen with church women. Heaven knows, through their cookbooks, they have saved my family from yet another frozen dinner.

Like my mom, most church women mix their dishes without picking up a measuring spoon, but they’re kind enough (and smart enough) to provide a well-rounded list of ingredients for the rest of us. Since I wasn’t born with the cook-by-taste gene, I rely on their recipes to grace my table.

Just this past year alone, I’ve added several favorites to our menu choices. My family loves Amber DeVillez Howard’s “Mexican Tortilla Chip Bake” and Janet Durham’s

Guest Column

“Key Lime Pie,” found in the new First Presbyterian cookbook. Although not a church cookbook proper, the (Irma) King Family Cookbook features crowdLIVING pleasers from a number of faithful church women. A FOR THE Christmas present, the cookJOURNEY book will keep me busy with

BY PAM country cooking for a long ROBINSON time, but already our family has enjoyed Marsha King’s “Company Casserole” and Karen Lawson’s “Potato Soup Deluxe.” From the late Ruth Smyth, I’ve even dabbled in the Amish way of cooking with a recipe for fruit cobbler.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention my latest purchase of Florence’s Fabulous Favorites, the collection of recipes from 107-year-old Florence Krietenstein, whose famous ham

loaves and yeast rolls will test my culinary skills during the new year.

My family is most indebted, of course, to the late Pearl Robinson, affectionately known as Granny to all the Robinson clan.

She contributed numerous recipes to the Point’s Old and New Recipes and the more recent Collection of Favorite Family Recipes and Memories published by her beloved Point Township Church of the Nazarene.

My husband, Jim, and his son, Allen, love to stir up Granny’s chicken and rice, but they both claim their version doesn’t taste nearly as good as hers. The truth is no one of us Robinsons can come close to Granny’s standards, whether we’re serving her chicken and dumplings, creamed corn, turkey dressing, or peach cake. She stirred in such a great amount of love with everything she

cooked. No one in our family can measure up.

Her “Happy Home Recipe,” created with the help of Edna Whoberry, bears repeating here. The cook will need 4 cups Love, 2 cups Loyalty, 3 cups Forgiveness, 1 cup Friendship, 5 spoonfuls Hope, 2 spoonfuls Tenderness, 4 quarts Faith and 1 barrel Laughter. Take Love and Loyalty, and mix thoroughly with Faith. Blend with Tenderness, Kindness and Understanding Forgiveness. Add Friendship and Hope. Sprinkle abundantly with Laughter. Bake it with Sunshine. Serve generous helpings daily.

As you can see, Granny added one or two extras to her recipe. God clearly guided her homemaking. The rest of us Robinsons await heaven to stock up on just the right ingredients for true happiness.

Corydon B. Dunham, Harvard Law Graduate

‘Government control of news’ reveals U.S. Censorship threats In his book, “Government Control of News: A Constitutional Challenge,” former NBC-TV legal counsel Corydon B. Dunham chronicles the government’s censorship of broadcast news. He warns

Guest Column

of a pending proposal that could renew television and radio news censorship and increase official control of local news content.

A new Localism, Balance and Diversity Doctrine would authorize the

FCC to revise local news to meet government administration views, Dunham says. Since the FCC is now transferring the broadcast spectrum to the internet, it could potentially control internet local news as well.

State Rep. Wendy McNamara

Working together to put Hoosiers to work In late November, I wrote a column about a new spirit of bipartisanship that I saw around the Statehouse. I am pleased that the cooperation between both parties is carrying over into the legislative session. A great example of this cooperation is House Bill (HB) 1002, which is authored

by Speaker Brian Bosma (RIndianapolis) and Democrat Minority Leader Scott Pelath (D-Michigan City). The two caucus leaders are working together on a bill that will create more jobs for Hoosiers.

HB 1002 establishes the Indiana Career Council that fulfills a variety of different needs for Hoosiers. 1) The council would facilitate greater cooperation and cohesion between different participants around the state in the areas of education, job skills, development and career training; 2) It would prepare the state’s education and skill development system to better fit the state’s job market and career system; 3) It would oversee the Indiana Workforce Intelligence System, which would keep track of employment data; and 4) It would submit recommenda-

tions to the General Assembly regarding changes to the state’s education, job skills and career training system.

Members of the council would include: Governor (Chair) Lieutenant Governor (Vice-Chair) Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Workforce Development Secretary of Commerce for the Indiana Economic Development Corporation Commissioner of the Commission for Higher Education Secretary of the Family and Social Services Administration State Superintendent of Public Instruction President of Ivy Tech College One member representing business community interests (appointed by the Governor) One member representing manufacturing interests (appointed by the Governor) One member representing labor interests (appointed by the Governor) Two advisory members appointed by the Speaker (cannot be from same political party) Two advisory members ap-

pointed by the Pro Tem (cannot be from same political party) HB 1002 is a very important jobs bill, and I am thrilled that it has bipartisan support.

I look forward to continued discussions on this bill and other solutions for lowering Indiana unemployment rate.

HB 1002 is just a part of our larger agenda that is focused on job creation.

Another one of our big priorities is bridging Indiana’s skills gap. Employers are in need of skilled labor, but there is a shortage of people in the workforce who have the necessary skills to fill these positions. To remedy the situation, we are looking to better support and improve career and technical education in high schools, increase and support dual credit programs, target investments on training programs with high potential and strengthen partnerships between industry and higher education.

Every step of the way we work with willing members of the other party to accomplish these agenda items. If our efforts are successful, I believe that we can make Indiana even stronger.

“Government Control,” which includes pages of carefully cited references, began as a study at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars at the Smithsonian Institute. Dunham did extensive research of records and witnesses to document the effects of the Fairness Doctrineand other television news censorship.

“The government justified the doctrine as a way to investigate and ensure stations aired opposing viewpoints on issues,” he says. “But if a complaint was made about a view that had been broadcast, the FCC could order that the view be changed or other views presented.”

Failure to comply could result in no license renewal.

In 1987, the FCC revoked the doctrine after the agency and courts found that it deterred news coverage of important issues, imposed censorship, chilled speech and prevented criticism of the administration.

But in 2008, the FCC released a proposed Localism Doctrine to force local TV news to satisfy government’s views on localism,

balance and diversity. “It has many of the same characteristics of the old Fairness Doctrine,” Dunham says.

The new rule would have three presidentiallyappointed federal commissioners authorized to change news reports and impose penalties, and an official local board for each station that could override the news judgment of local journalists. These boards would recommend loss of broadcast license for violations.

A special 2011 FCC report concluded the new doctrine would violate the public interest, but it remains pending.

Gavel Gamut’s ‘Colliding Ships’ Gentle Reader, you might wonder why the National Judicial College offers courses designed just for rural court judges. I realize it is more likely you are wondering why you are reading this column.

Be that as it may, let’s you and I concentrate on the first GAVEL question.

GAMUT Rural courts operate in a different sea than those of BY JUDGE large populations. A gener- JIM REDWINE ally accepted definition of a rural court is one where there are one to three judges to serve an entire jurisdiction. Frequently that jurisdiction will consist of a large geographical area and a small population. Posey County, Indiana with its two judges and twenty-five thousand citizens spread over seven hundred miles of roads with no large city pretty well describes rural courts.

In such an environment ships do not pass anonymously in the night but frequently collide. Whereas judges in Indianapolis may not even know the attorneys who are before them, in rural areas the judge often knows not only the lawyers, but, also, the parties and the witnesses. Heck, the judge may even know about the case before it gets to court because someone talked about it at church or the barber shop before the judge could get out of earshot.

My introduction to the differences in rural legal communities came when I began prosecuting cases in Posey County after four years of trying felony jury trials in Evansville. In those four years I never knew one person I tried. And, other than an occasional law enforcement officer, I never knew a victim or a witness in the many cases I handled.

Wildcats send five to Regionals, Rynkiewich wins Sectional

Mount Vernon senior Michael Rynkiewich celebrates after winning the 160 pound class sectional.

Photo by Steven Kochersperger.

By Steven Kochersperger Sometimes a change of scenery helps and sometimes it hurts. The Mount Vernon Wildcat Wrestlers didn’t seem to mind the change of sectional scenery as they headed into their new sectional host, Castle High School, and came out the other side better for it. The Castle sectional has been billed as one of the tougher sectionals in the area but when it was all said and done Saturday afternoon the Wildcats saw five of their wrestlers move on to Regionals to wrestle next week.

Senior Michael Rynkiewich had the best day of all the Mount Vernon wrestlers, going unbeaten and winning the 160 pound weight class sectional championship by beating a familiar foe. Rynkiewich defeated Reitz’s A. Wimpelberg, an opponent whom he had lost to at the Mater Dei Classic, to win the sectionals and head on to Regionals seeded highly in his weight class.

The other Wildcat to wrestle in for a sectional championship Saturday was Julian Suar. Suar had a stellar day in the 120 pound class but found himself facing a Reitz

opponent, Josh Davis, who had pinned Suar earlier in the season.

And while Suar lost a 16-1 technical fall in the championship Saturday, he finished the day in second place and also moves on to wrestle another day.

Senior Dane Wilson found himself wrestling for third place against his Boonville opponent, and when the 126 pound class match ended in overtime Wilson found himself in fourth place moving on to the Regionals as well.

Other wrestlers who qualified for the Regionals next week are Noah Keller in the 113 pound class and Payton Whoberry in the 145 pound class.

As a team the Wildcats ended up fifth in the sectional out of ten teams. Here are the final team standings: Reitz 192, Memorial 187.5, Castle 172.5, Heritage Hills 169, Mount Vernon 121, Boonville 87, South Spencer 80, Harrison 79, Tell City 51, Bosse 28.

The Regionals will be held this Saturday at Castle High School.

The Regional is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.

Lady Vikes take two of three in final week of regular season

By Dave Pearce The North Posey Lady Vikings have apparently saved the best for last.

The Lady Vikings were within one shot of taking all three conference games this week, the final week of the regular season for the ladies. But a last-second 3-point shot allowed the Gibson Southern Titans to slip by the Vikings on Saturday. However, the loss to the Class 3A Titans did not spoil a great week of basketball for the Lady Vikings.

On Senior Night, the seniors apparently decided to put their best foot forward as Amy Brandenstein, Brianna Perry, and Kendall Morris each had one of their best games of the season in an overwhelming victory over the South Spencer ebels.

The game was close throughout the first quarter as Hannah Harness opened the scoring and Madison Worman gave the Vikings a 5-2 lead.

But the pesky Lady Rebels made a game of it in the early going, hitting back-to-back baskets inside.

After Worman’s second 3-pointer of the quarter put the Viking back ahead, they had a lead they would never lose.

The Vikings must have been

shooting hot because as Brianna Perry was converting a steal into a lay-up with about three minutes left in the first period, someone pulled the fire alarm and the game was put on hold until the situation was cleared.

On the next trip down, Kelsey Owen capitalized on a rebound putback before Kendall Morris got a steal and a lay-up and by the end of the first period, the Lady Vikes had built a 14-8 lead.

But an efficient offense and a smothering defense soon took away any hope the Lady Rebels might have had of springing the upset.

Owen got another steal and layup to open the second period but the Lady Rebels answered. But Amy Brandenstein was fouled on successive trips down the floor and buried all four free throws to give the team a 20-10 lead before the Rebels could get a free throw.

The Lady Vikings scored the next seven points of the quarter as Perry went on a 6-0 scoring run of her own and Morris added a free throw to give the team a 27-13 lead going into half-time.

“I thought the three seniors represented themselves very well, North Posey Coach Tracey Stroud said of the trio. “They each had a good

game. It was very appropriate for senior night.”

Both the offense and defense stepped up in the third quarter as Hannah Harness had four in the quarter while Perry, Morris, and Owen all added points. The defense held the Rebels to six points in the quarter while on the offensive end, the Vikings out up another 14 to take a commanding 41-17 lead into the final period.

The Vikings outscored the Lady Rebels 10-6 in the final period.

Perry led the team with 14 points while Hannah Harness had ten and Amy Brandenstein had eight. Owen finished with seven while Worman and Morris had six apiece.

It had been quite some time since the Lady Vikings had made a successful trip to Forest Park but this group did just that this week, handing the Lady Rangers a 57-45 loss on their home court.

The Lady Vikings took a 16-12 lead at the end of the first period and outscored the Lady Rangers in each quarter except the fourth. The Lady Vikings were shooting the ball the way their coach knows they are capable as Hannah Harness and Worman each had a pair of 3-point

Wildcats improve to 14 and 2 with win over Gibson Southern

By Steven Kochersperger Sometimes the game of basketball is fast paced and action packed while other times it is slow moving and methodical.

The latter was true of Friday night’s game at Gibson Southern High School as the Titans took on the Mount Vernon Wildcats.

And even though Gibson Southern slowed the pace to a snail’s pace at times, the Wildcats were able to adjust and responded by beating the Titans 44-39 behind a great defensive effort and patient offense.

“Overall I was happy with our performance,” Wildcat coach Marc Hostetter said.” In a game that has very few possessions one mental error is magnified and that challenges you in your head more than anything. I thought we responded well tonight and showed maturity.”

Gibson Southern came into the game with only three wins on the season and seemed to try to throw the Wildcats off their game by slowing the game down and taking as much time off the clock as they could. It’s

something coach Hostetter said causes a team to value each offensive possession. “It makes you have to value the offensive possessions and get the best you can get. We made some shots early and that helped,” Hostetter said. And though it’s not the most exciting brand of basketball to watch, it seemed to work for a while for the Titans especially early on in the contest.

The slow pace didn’t seem to throw senior Brian Koch off his offensive game though. Koch scored 5 of Mount Vernon’s eight points in the first period as the Wildcats opened the game with a 8-6 going into the second period of play. It was in the second period that the Wildcats built a lead eventually finding themselves up five points. That’s when the Titans responded with a 5-0 run at the end of the period to tie the game at the half 17-17.

And while the third period saw more of the same, it wasn’t until the final period of play that the Wildcats were able to build enough of a lead to cause Gibson Southern to have to pull out

of their slow methodical pace.

The Cats found themselves ahead five points behind their great free throw shooting and it was too late for the Titans in the end as Mount Vernon cruised to their 14th win of the season, still the best start in school history.

Senior Brian Koch led the team with 15 points in the contest. With the win the Wildcats find themselves with a 14-2 record on the season.

This is the point in the season where every win is extremely important and the Wildcats seem to know it. “Every road win is a big win,” coach Hostetter said.

Mount Vernon hopes to continue their winning ways this week as they host the Central Bears on Tuesday and the Princeton Tigers on Friday night. Friday night’s contest is homecoming for Mount Vernon. The JV game will tip off at 6 p.m. followed by the Senior Recognition of the winter athletes at 7. Homecoming festivities will begin at 7:05 followed by the game with Big Eight rival Princeton at 7:30.

Viking boys find rebounding is integral part of success

By Dave Pearce Both the North Posey Vikings and the Princeton Tigers exposed weaknesses in each others’ games in a 59-56 barn-burner on homecoming night Saturday evening at North Posey High School.

The Princeton Tigers gave the Vikings a lesson on how to rebound while the Vikings exposed the Tigers’ weakness at the free throw line down the stretch.

The Vikings had a shot at tying the game after trailing by 10 points with just under two minutes to go.

Staring at a 52-42 deficit at the North Posey High School sophomore James Marshall look for two-minute mark, We Harness hit an opening to drive to the basket during Saturday night’s narrow a free throw and the Vikings came 59-56 homecoming loss to Princeton.

nailed a 3-pointer at the 1:22 mark.

The Tigers took a time out because it appeared that the Viking defense was finally starting to force some turnovers.

Coming out of the time out, the Vikings forced yet another turnover and Whitmore came up with a steal and shuffled the ball to Harness and suddenly, the Vikings had a chance, down by just four with just over a minute remaining.

The Vikings had no choice but to foul. Despite being in the double bonus, the foul plan worked almost to perfection.

The Tigers missed a pair of free throws with 1:03 remaining and (homecoming king) Alec Werry

Lady Cats struggle against Harrison, rebound at Tell City

By Steven Kochersperger Sometimes you need to just move on and leave things in the past. This is exactly what the Mount Vernon girls’ basketball team needed to do after their performance at Harrison High School Thursday night. And lucky for them, they had Saturday to bounce back in Tell City.

Thursday night the Cats lost to the Harrison Warriors in overtime 48-47 in a game that felt like an off game for the Cats. The loss seemed to take the wind out of the Wildcat’s sails especially since sectional play is right around the corner.

“We got outworked and out hustled tonight and there is no excuse for us as a veteran ballclub to show the lack of composure we showed,”Wildcat coach Steve Mitchell said after the game.” For some reason we weren’t ready to play and I don’t know why.

Harrison has a good ball club and I don’t want to take anything away from them, but we are just disappointed in our performance tonight. If we want to win the sectional we have to play a lot better than that.”

And while the Wildcats did not play great team basketball, freshman Alexis Nall and Junior Ellen Foster seemed to show flashes and kept Mount Vernon in the game. Nall opened the lackluster first period by scoring four points, the only points the team would score in the opening period of play. Foster came on by keeping the score close in the second period by scoring four points herself

as the Wildcats found themselves down at the half 15-11.

The third and fourth periods would be better for the Wildcats but Mount Vernon struggled to ever find themselves in a place to take the lead. With 2:25 left in the game Foster hit a basket to pull the Wildcats within one point at 38-37. But as was the case each time Mount Vernon came close to tying or leading in the contest, Harrison hit a big shot to stretch their lead. This would come to an end as the lady Cats came back to tie the game with 25.7 seconds left on the clock behind Ellen Foster’s two clutch free throws. And when Harrison failed to win the game on a buzzer beater the game went into overtime.

Early in the overtime the Wildcats finally took the lead behind a free throw by Alexis Nall. This lead would be short lived and the Warriors went on a run to take a four point lead with just a minute left in the overtime.

Jade Dixon hit a buzzer beating three pointer in the end but the Wildcats would be one point shy of giving themselves more time to pull out the win.

Alexis Nall led the Wildcats in scoring Thursday with 17 points while Ellen Foster added 15.

The Wildcats took the loss and bounced back just a few days later playing much better, especially on the defensive end, to beat Tell City on the road. Senior Jade Dixon scored 10 points to lead the Wildcats as they

Lady Vikings continued from B1 goals. Perry added one as well as the inside-outside punch proved to be too much for the Lady Rangers.

Hannah Harness finished with 17 points while Worman had 13, and Owen had 10 to lead the way. Hayley Harness added six while Perry added five, Morris four, and Rachel Ungetheim two for the victorious Vikings.

“We played well and built a pretty big lead,” Stroud said.

“They cut it to nine but we didn’t let them get it any closer than that. And, we had three players in double figures.”

Although the team played well in the pair of wins, they played just as well in the narrow two-point loss to the Lady Titans on Saturday.

The game was tied at 27 at the half.

“We played a solid game today but they hit seven 3-pointers,” Stroud said of the long-range Lady Titans. “They shot extremely well. With about two minutes to go in the fourth quarter we were down by about seven and it wasn’t looking good.”

But the Lady Vikings fought back, something that pleased Stroud very much.

“We could have just folded up right then when we got down by seven but we made a run on them and got some steals.”

With 10 seconds to go in the game, the Lady Vikings took their first lead of the second half, a one-point margin off a lay-up basket off a steal.

The Lady Titans got the ball upcourt and called time out with five seconds to go. A basket of any kind would give the Lady Titans the win.

With the Lady Vikings shutting down the inside, the Titans decided to put their fate in the hands of their 3-point shooters.

This time it paid off as the 3-pointer went through the bucket as the buzzer sounded to give the Titans the 2-point win.

“They threw a pass in to a girl who was about a step below the volleyball line and she caught it, shot it, and it went in,” Stroud said. “It was at least four feet behind the 3-point line and we had a hand in her face. It is just one of those things.

If she misses that shot, we’re partying. If she makes it, they are partying.”

The loss marked the end of the regular season with the Lady Vikings sitting at 13-8.

“It was a good basketball game all the way through and it was a fun game to get us ready for sectionals, “Stroud said.

good experience for us.”

The Lady Vikings will have over a week to prepare for their first sectional opponent. The draw was held on Sunday afternoon but results of the draw were not available at press time.

“We’re going to get ready for whoever we draw,” Stroud said on Saturday evening. “We’ve got some plans to keep them in game shape. We have a few just getting over the flu and we will use this week to get healthy and get ready for the tournament.”

Vikings Boys continued from B2 the Tigers missed both ends of the double bonus but again, the Tigers were able to come up with the rebound on a tip-out.

Finally, with 29 seconds remaining, the Tigers went back to the line where they hit both free throws to take a 55-51 lead.

But the Tigers put Werry on the line with 15 seconds remaining and he made both free throws and the Vikes trailed by two with 15 seconds remaining.

Following a Princeton time out, the Vikings but the Tigers back at the line where Kenzer Havill, who finished with 28 points, finally missed one of two free throws but again, it would be the Tigers coming up with the loose ball off the rebound.

Finally, with 11 seconds remaining, the Tigers went to the line and hit two free throws and it appeared the game was over.

But Werry stepped up and hit a big 3-point basket at 5.6 seconds and the Vikings were within two.

They were forced to foul and again it would be Havill going to the line where he hit the second of two tries.

Trailing by three, the Vikings got a good look at the basket but Michael Bender’s long 3-point attempt bounded away at the buzzer sounded and the Tigers had escaped with a 59-56 win.

Havill finished with 28 of the Tigers’ 29 points as he, at 6-foot-6, had his way inside.

For the Vikings, Werry finished with 19 while Harness and Whitmore had 15 apiece. James Marshall finished with three while

Bender and Tyler Adkins finished with two apiece.

“We’re an undersized team and we have to continue to work on rebounding,” North Posey Coach Heath Howington said after the game. “We let their pressure and aggressiveness dictate how we were going to play.”

The three officials, all from the Terre Haute area, let the teams play and called very few “touch” fouls and it appeared the Vikings had trouble adjusting to the way the game was being officiated.

“They beat us in 50-50 balls and we work hard on that,” Howington said of the game. “But we’re not so much concerned with the wins and losses right now as we are with the focus on the process.”

The Vikings will get a little taste of “the process” this coming weekend when they travel to Southridge to take on the Raiders with at least a share of the Pocket Athletic Championship on the line. The Raiders have lost only twice and Howington knows his team is going to have to be at their best if they want a chance to compete with the elite in the conference.

“We’re road-tested and battle-tested and hopefully, all these close games have prepared us for what we will be up against at Southridge,” Howington said.

“We have to play the game the right way. Their coach and I are best of friends and we have shared a lot of things.”

That sharing includes coaching as assistants together at Eastern Greene earlier in their careers.

It is not too late to establish a budget for the new year Resolutions abound come the dawn of a new year. Fitness and finances tend to dominate many people’s resolutions, with the goals of shedding a few pounds and saving more money both being popular resolutions.

For those whose focus will be on finances this year, establishing a budget is a good place to start. The following are a few tips for men and women that should help them plan budgets for the year and reach their financial goals over the next 12 months. * Start with your income.

How much money is being brought into the household will go a long way toward determining your budget.

The first month of the year, when people will receive their earnings statements from the previous year, should provide a clear-cut picture of just how much income the household is generating. Once you have that information, you can begin to establish a budget. * Make a list of your bills. Knowing what’s coming in is important when

establishing a budget, but so is having a firm grasp of what’s going out. Make a list of all of your monthly expenses, from the big ones like a mortgage payment to the smaller ones like how much you spend on a cup of coffee each day. When making a list of these expenses, make note of the day bills are due each month. This can help you determine which weeks of each month you’ll be able to save more money and which weeks you will need to tighten your belt and pay existing bills. Such knowledge will help you establish a budget. * Make a list of anticipated expenses. Some expenses are there every month. Others are those you expect, such as home improvement projects you plan to finance in the coming year. Make a list of these anticipated expenses.

This may involve taking some inventory of things around the house, such as any appliances that may be on their last legs, bigger issues like a roof that may need to be replaced or a

bathroom you finally plan to remodel. Once you have compiled this list, research how much each project figures to cost you. This should give you an idea of how realistic each project is for you, and whether or not you will be able to tackle multiple projects in the coming year. * Don’t forget about debts. Many people plan a budget more to get out of debt than to save for a rainy day. When establishing a budget for the year ahead, calculate how much debt you’re currently carrying. Though you can do so if you prefer, it’s best to exclude existing installment loans like a mortgage or a car note from your list of debts. Though those can be considered money you owe, they are more in line with the monthly expenses you need to live than credit card debts you simply need to get rid of. If your debt is considerable or even small, see if there is anything you can remove from your list of monthly expenses (i.e., cable television or streaming video subscription) so

you can devote that money to eliminating your debt.

In addition, those with considerable debt should prioritize ending that debt over projects you want to tackle that aren’t exactly necessities. For example, if your kitchen is outdated but still safe and functional, postpone the kitchen remodeluntil you have eliminated your debt. * Decide where you can cut costs. Chances are you’re establishing a budget because you have a specific financial goal in mind or because you examined last year’s financial statements and realized you fell short of your savings goals. So you likely know you need to cut some costs, and part of establishing a budget is deciding which costs you can cut.

Some of the more common ways people cut costs at the dawn of a new year includes deciding to dine out less, canceling a cable television subscription or removing premium channels from their package, driving less to save money on fuel and forgoing store-

bought coffee for java they make at home. Each of these budget cuts can lead to substantial savings over a full year, and none of them are life-altering to the point of lowering a person’s quality of life. * Include savings into your budget. Living on a budget is not always easy, especially for those people who are not used to doing so. When establishing your budget, include weekly, biweekly and monthly sav-

ings goals into the budget.

If you stick to this plan, you will have something to show for your financial discipline at the end of each month, and light at the end of the tunnel can be a motivating factor as you adapt to living on a budget.

The new year is a great time to turn over a new financial leaf, and establishing a budget is a great way to get started on a path to a brighter financial future.

Make it Fun: All or Nothing at All

By Pam Young There’s a huge difference between a drastic transformation and change that takes place as gracefully and gradually as a baby turns into a toddler. But when we’re fed up with our old ways we tend to want an instant and dramatic fix. That’s what impatience is all about. Take weight for example, we want the weight to come off faster than we put it on. We get frustrated with a loss of just one pound in a week, yet if we gained a pound a week, we’d gain 50 pounds in a year. I don’t know anyone who’s done that and you probably don’t either.

If you’re like me, you tend to have that notion: All or nothing at all. When we want to get organized usually we’ve come to a place

where every room is laced with chaos. When we decide to fix our finances it’s when the power’s been shut off or we max a few credit cards and sink into financial depression.

When we want to lose weight it’s usually because we’ve let it go so long that our pants hurt and we’re scared to get on the scale.

We’re not like the frog that stays in the water as it is heated to boiling and cooks to death, instead, we schlep along until we snap.

It’s after the snap that we typically make the decision to do something. We rarely think to be something. If you think, “I want to be happy in my body,” or “I want to be comfortable in my home” or “I want to be debt free,” all those thoughts will cheer your heart. If you’ve gained enough weight to have it be a

major problem you probably barely know the healthy, happy you that’s under the fat. If you are overwhelmed with the operation of running a home and family you don’t know the peace that attends an organized and smoothly running household. If you are afraid to open your mailbox and your heart races when it’s time to pay bills, you are missing the constant joy of being debt-free.

There is this beautiful place between all and nothing at all and I love that place. It’s called grateful patience. It’s incremental progress and it takes being patient, kind and loving with yourself and celebrating the small stuff.

Be easy with yourself. Find a photo of you when you were a child and when you look at it see if you can imagine that child still

Ways pets could improve personal health Rather than heading to the pharmacy for solutions to common ailments, a majority of people may be able to stop at the nearest pet store or animal shelter and find a finned or furry remedy instead.

Studies that link positive health benefits to pet ownership abound.

According to WebMD, one study found that 48 stockbrokers who adopted a pet experienced lower blood pressure readings in stressful situations than did people who did not own pets. Another study found that individuals suffering from serious diseases, such as cancer or AIDS,are far less likely to experience depression if they have a strong tie to a pet.

Plus, pets have proven beneficial to seniors struggling with loneliness.

Any pet can try a person's patience at times, expecially when a kitty has used a sofa as a scratching post or when a pooch needs to be let into

the yard at 3 a.m. But for many pet owners, the benefits of having a pet far outweigh the negatives. Here are some of the many ways that pet ownership can be good for your health. * Lower blood pressure: Petting a dog or cat can lower blood pressure, as can watching a fish swim around a tank. Those with hypertension may want to purchase or adopt a companion animal to help lower their blood pressure. * Reduce stress: Stress is something people face on a daily basis.

According to a National Health Interview Survey, 75 percent of the general population experiences at least "some stress" every two weeks, and many times that stress is moderate to severe. Research has indicated that when people spend time with a pet their levels of cortisol, a hormone associated with stress, is lowered while their level of serotonin, a

hormone associated with improved mood and well-being, is increased. * Lower cholesterol: Lifestyle factors associated with pet ownership, particularly a focus on increased physical health and activity, can help lower cholesterol levels. Also, having a pet works to reduce stress, which may keep individuals from looking to fatty foods as sources of alleviating anxiety. * Fight depression: Many therapists have prescribed pet therapy as a method to alleviating and recovering from depression. A pet is an unconditional friend and can provide that listening ear a person needs to talk through problems. Also, walking and taking care of a pet devotes attention away from problems and inward thinking. * Improve physical activity levels: Heading to the gym is one way to get a workout, but spending an hour

walking the dog or tossing around a ball for a game of chase and fetch is another way to get the heart pumping. Many dog owners benefit from the "forced"exercise that goes with daily walks. Some people choose to exercise with their pets, enjoying the companionship and the physical activity. *Reduce stroke incidences: There has been evidence that cat owners are less likely to suffer strokes than people who do not have cats.

Researchers are not sure of the connection, but surmise that cats have a more calming nature than other types of pets. * Greater opportunities for socialization: Humans are social animals and need to interact with others. Pet owners have a tendency to want to share time and experiences with other pet owners. Pets can provide opportunities for people to get together.

* ADHD therapy: Children and adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder often benefit from working with a pet or having a pet as a family companion. Playing with a pet is a great way to release excess energy and focus on tasks. Also, a pet with his or her unconditional love can help someone with ADHD overcome self-esteem issues. Similar results are possible when pets are used as therapy animals for children with autism and other behavioral disabilities. * Reduce propensity for allergies: Children who grow up in homes with cats and dogs are less likely to develop common allergies and even asthma, research suggests. In fact, children who live around two or more dogs or cats before their first birthday are less likely to have allergies of any sort, according to a study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association.
