Reward for tree vandal info The Town of New Harmony is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest of the individual or indivuals responsible for the vandalism to the trees in Murphy Park. Contact Towm Marshal Scott Champlin at 307-0136 with information. It is very sad when so many have worked so hard to raise money and plant trees because many of our old trees are coming down. To have some that would thwart effots to replace the trees that are so much a part of New Harmony is a crime. Murphy Park is a town park and is there to enjoy...not to destroy.

Another hurdle cleared for ‘The Landing’ Three-story riverfront project to house retail, 52 units of affordable senior housing By Pam Robinson The Mount Vernon City Council held the public hearing on the ordinance vacating the alley south of the Old Armory—an ordinance necessary to move forward with “The Landing” project. As expected, the hearing transpired uneventfully. Present was Larry Williams, representing the Posey County Economic Development Partnership, the entity requesting the alley to be vacated. Also present was Tim Martin from Myszak Palmer, the Vincennes architectural firm for the project. Martin stood before council to answer any questions and to encourage a swift passage of the ordinance, the last legal hurdle to

clear on the way to final closing on the project so construction can begin. Indeed, upon the conclusion of the public hearing, council voted unanimously to pass the ordinance vacating the designated alley on second reading, to suspend the rules, and then to pass the ordinance on third and final reading. The ordinance goes in the record books as 12-21. After the meeting, Mount Vernon businessman Larry Williams confirmed the final closing on “The Landing” project is anticipated for mid-October with groundbreaking shortly thereafter. Likewise, Tim Martin stated in a phone conversation on Friday that the ground-
breaking will occur at the end of the month if possible. “The Landing” is a 64,000-square-foot, three-floor riverfront facility that will provide retail space on the first floor and 52 units of affordable senior housing on the second and third floors—46 apartments and six condos. Project deadline is December, 2013. The celebration over “The Landing” project was almost eclipsed by new business late in the meeting. Councilman Andy Hoehn noted an attempted break-in to an ammonia tank on Co-op property at Wolflin. He stated that the resulting ammonia release caused residential property damage and a near-miss to a police officer.
He reported that the Co-op’s storage of its ammonia tanks has been grandfathered to avoid new state regulations that call for tanks to be stored at a considerable distance from a residence and even farther away from a school. He expressed concern for residences and nearby West Elementary School alike with the potential for 50,000 gallons of ammonia to be released – with the thanks stored in the open and contained by no fence or protection of any kind. Councilwoman Becky Higgins added some tanks are out on Lower New Harmony Road as well. According to Hoehn, the state

By Valerie Werkmeister Richard Porter’s demolition progress at his abandoned Wadesville property has earned him a 90-day extension on a nuisance complaint. Porter appeared before the Posey County Commissioners on October 2, for a status report of his progress at 7265 Main Street. Porter’s home burned last year and the single father has been salvaging materials as he dismantles them. Porter presented before and after pictures for the commissioners to review. He stated that three-fourths of the deck has been removed and he estimates he has been able to save $2,113 in lumber so far. During previous meetings, Porter explained his progress is slow since he does not have any electricity to the property. He is utilizing batterypowered machinery that does not last long. “I’m one guy with two kids who collects child support,” Porter said. He jokingly added that he would welcome help from anyone that would care to lend a hand. Commissioner president Jim Alsop suggested they extend the next status review to 90 days or January 15. John Sherretz agreed. Alsop read a proclamation honoring the 50th anniversary for the United Way of Posey County. He stated the United Way serves 21 different agencies throughout the county and has a goal of $690,000 this year. Alsop gave an update of a recent meeting between county officials and Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) officials regarding the Wabash River Bridge in New Harmony. Alsop stated there wasn’t any new information and the meeting was somewhat of a waste of time. The county has sent a letter to INDOT asking for clarification on how INDOT arrived at some figures posed to the county on the bridge’s reconstruction costs. Alsop stated the letter was sent in September and INDOT officials informed Alsop at the meeting that they are still working on a response to the county. “We are just waiting. We can’t do our due diligence without information from INDOT,” Alsop stated. He added that the county may initiate a public hearing and require INDOT officials to attend so that they may gather more information that is needed to help render a decision about the bridge’s fate. A re-zoning request from R-1 to B-1 at 7298 Highway 66 in Wadesville was approved. Andrea Terhune appeared before the commissioners and explained that she would like to open a kids’ consignment shop in a home she

Jared Tepool of Poseyville Boy Scout Troop 387 recently completed his project requirements to become an Eagle Scout. The scope of the project involved removing old sidewalk sections along the Cale Street side of the Poseyville Christian Church and laying new concrete ramps. The ramps lead into the church basement making it handicap accessible. Tepool's decision to take on the project was due to a wish from his friend and mentor, the late Carolyn Warpenburg. Members of the church recently celebrated the project's completion with a dedication ceremony & special plaque for Tepool. Pictured are members of Troop 387 who assisted Tepool with the project. From left are his parents: Matt and Christina Tepool, Marion Warpenburg, Carolyn's Warpenburg's husband, Jared and Brandon Tepool. In the middle are: Bryce Kiesel, Lane Coleman, Drew Cook and Devin Kiesel. Standing in back are: Cole Werkmeister, Adam Schmitt, Troop master - Mitch Wagner and Darrin Huntsman.

Rivers are hidden worlds with fascinating animals rarely seen by human eyes. Among the richest of Indiana's rivers is the Wabash, which defines what freshwater is to us in Indiana. A close investigation reveals that the Wabash is changing, although the changes and patterns are not altogether obvious. Allen Pursell holds a BS in Forestry and an MS in Forest Ecology from Purdue University. He began working for The Nature Conservancy in Indiana in 1994. His work consists of conserving habitat; negotiating with private landowners to voluntarily protect land and water, working with community and state
government on conservation concerns, and developing sustainable forestry methods. Please plan to attend what promises to be a fascinating lecture. Because of this lecture, Library Lil will not be taking place on November 18, but will resume at its regularly scheduled time - from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m. the following Thursday, October 25, when Ms. Rebecca will read another chapter from the book Little Britches: Father and I Were Ranchers, by Ralph Moody. A big Thank You to all the Friends and volunteers who spent time working at the Friends Brat Booth during Kunstfest. We enjoyed very fine weather and had a great time, and I appreciate the effort our Friends and Members put in to making this event a great success, as well as a lot of fun for everyone involved.

BUSINESS/AG MV Nursing and Rehab Center earns national recognition Mount Vernon Nursing & Rehabilitation Center announced today that it is a proud recipient of the American Health Care Association and the National Center for Assisted Living’s (AHCA/ NCAL) Bronze – Commitment to Quality, National Quality Award in recognition of the facility’s strong commitment to continuous quality improvement. “The AHCA/NCAL Quality Awards – comprised of three levels, Bronze – Commitment to Quality award; a more rigorous Silver – Achievement in Quality award; and a comprehensive Gold – Excellence in Quality award – are the most prestigious recognition of quality within the long term care profession,” stated Governor Mark Parkinson, President and CEO of AHCA/NCAL. “Each one of the award recipients has proven its dedication to improving lives through quality care, and it is a privilege to honor them with this year’s award. We congratulate Mount Vernon Nursing & Rehabilitation Center on this achievement.” As a Bronze award recipient, Mount Vernon Nursing & Rehabilitation Center demonstrated its organization-wide commitment to a customer-focused facility mission, defined its principal customers and their expectations, and indicated ways that it is striving to meet their needs. “The Quality Award program is an independently
judged, criteria-based, award program, and this year, our facility is one of only 399 long term care centers nationwide to receive this noteworthy award in 2012. We are proud of this accomplishment and thank our staff for their strong commitment to excellence,” said Joelle Butcher-Allen, Administrator of Mount Vernon Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. AHCA/NCAL’s Quality Award is modeled after the criteria of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, the nation’s premier award recognizing distinguished achievements. AHCA/ NCAL’s award is designed to support both continuous quality improvement efforts in long term care by promoting quality awareness and education and to recognize quality achievements.

City and County honor United Way 50th Anniversary
Mount Vernon Mayor John Tucker (left) presents Posey County United Way president Keith Spurgeon with a proclamation declaring October 8 through 13 as United Way Week in Mount Vernon in honor of Posey County United Way’s 50th Anniversary. Photo submitted Mayor John Tucker has proclaimed October 8 through October 13 as United Way Week and urged all residents of Mount Vernon and all of Posey County “to observe this week by supporting the vital efforts of the United Way of Posey
County.” The Board of Commissioners of Posey County presented the United Way of Posey County with a proclamation in honor of its 50th Anniversary of service to Posey County. Wayne Games, United

Way of Posey County campaign. On 2 Tuesdays, October 23 and October 30, Tequila’s, Southwind Plaza in Mt. Vernon, will donate 20% of all sales to the United Way.

Come to Longaberger Basket Bingo and support the fight against cancer The first Thursday in November will soon be here— and with it, my opportunity to see once again the joys of being an extrovert and, best of all, to support the fight against cancer. This November 1 marks the 10th anniversary of the Longaberger Basket Bingo, the brainchild of Posey County natives Keely Winger and Liz Miller. From its humble beginnings at St. Matthew Gym, the event has grown to fill the Posey County 4-H Community Center at the 4-H Fairgrounds on Hwy 69. The doors of the community center will open at 5 p.m. this November 1 for those 18 and older to play Bingo for Longaberger merchandise. A donation of $10 per ticket places a person smack dab (no pun intended) in the middle of the action. In addition to
Bingo, participants may purchase raffle tickets and homemade refreshments.
LIVING FOR THE
JOURNEY BY PAM ROBINSON Drawings for door prizes take place all evening also. Tickets sell out fast, so interested individuals need to call Keely Winiger at 4535047 or Liz Miller at 5682225 right away. All profits benefit Gateway for Cancer Research, underwritten by Cancer Treatment Centers of America. Winiger and Miller note that Gateway for Cancer Research donates 99 percent of its funding to cancer research. Moreover, a number of Posey County residents re-

ceive care from Gateway for Cancer Research programs. To date, the Longaberger Basket Bingo and Posey County community have raised $63,597.88 for the fight against cancer. Last year was the biggest year for the Longaberger Basket Bingo with a total profit of $10,211.19 raised for Gateway. In praising community members for their tremendous support, Winiger and Miller give special thanks to St. Matthew and the donation of their Bingo license until the Longaberger Basket Bingo outgrew that location. Likewise, they are grateful to the American Legion for their current partnership. “Without the license of the American Legion,” Winiger comments, “there wouldn’t be a Longaberger
Basket Bingo anymore.” Until last year, I’d never participated in the Longaberger Basket Bingo. Anyone who knows me very well understands I’m an extrovert usually only when absolutely necessary—namely, to do my job as a reporter. Otherwise, my introverted self likes nothing better than to enter my home office and hide behind a good book.
After just one Longaberger Basket Bingo, however, I vowed it would become my annual extrovert event—by choice. I’ve already reserved six seats. My sister-in-law Penny Capes and I had such a good time last year that we’ve convinced four additional friends to join us this year. Of course, we’ll see many, many more friends we know. Practically every
woman in Posey County attends this event. All participants walk away winners, even if they don’t take home a prize. They catch up and play games with people they know at the same time they unite for a common cause—to destroy cancer. The Longaberger Basket Bingo is just another reason why Posey County is such a good place to live.

Own your American Dream It is every parent’s hope that their children will have it better off than they did growing up. For centuries, America has been the land of opportunity for millions of people in search of a more prosperous livelihood. In our nation’s earliest hour, immigrants put everything on the line to start anew – always believing in American idealism. The economic recession has changed how people interact and operate within the marketplace. Distrust in Washington’s ability to put the nation on firmer ground has brought doubt and uncertainty, in turn, challenging the very principles of what has made our country great – the American Dream. In a recent Wall Street Journal article, Renting Prosperity, the idea of renting versus owning has gained traction, shifting the American mentality. Consumers are able to rent everything from designer purses to caskets as the affordability and flexibility of
renting trumps the stability of owning. In Indiana, confidence is continuing to be restored, demonstrating to Hoosiers that government can live within its means and still provide essential services at a highly effective rate. The House Republican Caucus released their agenda for the upcoming legislative session last week, highlighting three major components: · Financial Security for Future Generations. · Bridging the Skills Gap · Leaders in the Classrooms; Leaders in Life Over the last two years, the General Assembly has added to the toolbox of Hoosier entrepreneurs, reformed the education system and remained financially secured with a balanced budget. The reforms to our education system and tax structure for residents and businesses have provided a foundation for sustainable growth and prosperity, which is why Indiana has continued to outperform the nation in
private sector job growth, 6.5 percent compared to 3.5 percent, since the low point of unemployment in 2009. Looking forward, Indiana is in a great position for unparalleled growth. It is important to look at every option to properly use our strong financial position – one of only 9 states with a triple-A credit rating from all three major credit companies – to address key shortages in STEM-related fields, providing a workforce for jobs currently being created. Over the next three weeks, I will more specifically focus on the three key aspects of the House Republican agenda. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, I encourage you to contact me by phone at (317) 232-9671 or via email at h76@in.gov. I believe in the American Dream and the opportunities this country provides for its citizens. The grit and determination to make the most of our opportunities lives within all of us.
Guest Column Tim Harmon, Ind. Debate Commission It’s time for candidates to debate the issues If there¹s one thing all Hoosiers can share pride in, it¹s our tradition of feisty political independence. The two Republicans in the U.S. Senate were preceded by Democrats, and Mitch Daniels, a Republican who is wrapping up eight years in the Statehouse, was preceded by three Democrats. Democrat Barack Obama carried the state four years ago; for decades before that, the GOP seemed to have a lock on presidential contests here. Voters here have a strong tradition of judging the candidates by what they say, do and stand for rather than by what party they belong to. Attack ads, sound bites, partisan rallies, folksy commercials ‹ all of it may help a contender build an image. But the thoughtful voter deserves to hear the candidates square and explain their approach to the issues the voters themselves care most about. In that tradition, the Indiana Debate Commission will present three gubernatorial and two U.S. Senate debates this fall (including its first on
Wednesday evening in Zionsville with the governor candidates). Each will last one hour. Three of the debates will be before live audiences in Zionsville (Wednesday), South Bend (Oct. 17, govenor) and New Albany (Oct. 23, Senate). Free tickets to those events are available or will soon be available. Two will be in television studios (a Senate debate Oct. 15 at WFYi in Indianapolis, and the final governor debate Oct. 25 at WFWA PBS39 in Fort Wayne). All will be broadcast statewide beginning at 7 p.m. And all of them will feature questions from voters across the state. To submit a question, go to indianadebatecommission. com . You can also visit its site on Facebook. The Indiana Debate Commission formed in 2007 and began hosting debates in 2008. It has so far conducted eight debates, including a Republican U.S. Senate primary debate in April. The commission is a nonpartisan organization with
one goal: to offer fair, neutral forums where candidates for governor or the U.S. Senate can meet, civilly discuss the issues, and have their candidacies weighed and compared by voters statewide. Commission members are mostly from 13 media and educational institutions who volunteer their time. Our monetary support is from member-organizations¹ foundations and other nonpartisan contributions and grants. We use it to pay for statewide TV satellite service and equipment for each of our debate sites. The venues hosting the debates donate the use of their facilities and help with ticketing, security, etc. We and the host facilities for these debates work hard to present first-rate programs that all Hoosier voters can have access to for one reason: so you can make informed choices this November. Tim Harmon is executive editor of the South Bend Tribune and a member of the Indiana Debate Commission. He can reached at tharmon@ sbtinfo.com.
Letters to the Editor Obama Administration should be commended
Gavel Gamut’s “WHAT’D I SAY?” George Bernard Shaw was once asked what was meant by a passage he had written years before. He responded he had no idea what that young man had intended to convey, but it really did not matter as he was confident some graduate student would tell him. In a similar vein, there is no need for any of us to see a movie or play or read a book for ourselves as the critics will give us our opinions. This is particularly true when it comes to politicians and the news media. Who are we to believe we are able to watch and listen to a presidential debate and decide what we heard? One of the best rock and roll anthems is the tautological triumph “What’d I Say” by Ray Charles. Of
course, Ray was not actually requesting that the listener tell Ray what he
GAVEL GAMUT BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE was saying. However, had Ray been President Obama or Governor Romney on October 3, 2012, he might have substituted the inquisitioners asking the questions for the listeners to their respective songs. And the debaters, if ever given an opportunity to respond to what the post-debate pundits said, would probably say, “Huh, I don’t recognize that as anything I meant to say”.

Television debates are an oxymoron. There is no debate between candidates, but merely two cornered prey giving up fodder for Fox News and MSNBC to skewer pursuant to their own proclivities. To hear the analyses of some news anchors is to question how the President or the Governor ever managed to get home from the store much less run a government. My suggestion is that only written “debates” are of value. That is, when someone such as Abraham Lincoln debates someone such as Stephan Douglas, a full written report of their entire comments should be published; and if any commentator rearranges their words, the commentator should be drummed out of the Fourth Estate.
Dear Editor: The Obama Administration should be commended for supporting strong domestic energy policy by boosting biodiesel production last month under the Renewable Fuel Standard. This decision will stimulate new biodiesel production and create jobs across the country, including right here in Indiana where the world's largest integrated soy biodiesel plant is located. Biodiesel - made from feedstocks such as soybean oil, recycled cooking oil and animal fats - is the first and only EPA-designated Advanced Biofuel to be produced on a commercial-scale
nationwide. Biodiesel isn't just a good thing for soybean farmers, but also for livestock farmers and ultimately consumers. Livestock, especially pigs and poultry, rely on soybean meal for a large portion of the protein in their diet. When soybean oil is used for biodiesel, this increases oil value and can create a steady supply of soybean meal for livestock farmers. The Administration's decision increases the amount of biodiesel that refiners must use to displace petroleum diesel next year to a total of 1.28 billion gallons. The U.S. diesel market equals about 55
billion gallons annually. This gives the biodiesel industry and its feedstock producers the certainty they need to boost production and invest in their operations. It also will diversify our fuel supplies so that we're not so dependent on global petroleum prices that threaten our national security and economic growth. With gas prices once again on the rise, this is exactly the kind of smart domestic energy policy we need for the future. Sincerely, Kevin Wilson President, Indiana Soybean Alliance
New trade agreement could hurt U.S. companies The Obama administration is currently negotiating another free trade agreement, which will increase the likelihood of awarding federal contracts to foreign companies located on the Pacific Rim. Countries in Southeast Asia will benefit by the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), add jobs, while the U.S. could lose more manufacturing jobs. If the TPP is approved by Congress, a provision in the agreement will ban "Buy American" requirements in
federal government contracts. Over the past 80 years U.S. companies have received needed help in securing federal contracts due to "Buy American" provisions stipulated in the contracts. In 2011 the Obama administration supported three so called fair trade agreements originally negotiated by the Bush administration. The policies of Bush and Obama have strengthened manufacturing operations in foreign countries and have led to the movement of US. Jobs

overseas. The TPP agreement would mean the U.S. could eliminate any tariffs on goods from the Asia-Pacific countries, which could cost more U.S. manufacturing jobs. We have to make it more attractive for U.S. companies to keep jobs in this country. Maybe then we will decrease unemployment from near 8% to a more respectable 4% level and decrease our trade deficits with foreign countries. Donald A.

Buckland appreciates lifestyle change New Harmony allows A native of western Kansas, Annette Buckland pursued a history major with an art minor as an undergraduate before earning a master’s degree in history from Kansas State University. The owner of The Antique Showrooms in the Mews at New Harmony admits she’s taken no business courses ever. Instead, Buckland drew upon her knowledge of history right after graduate school in her work with the State Department in Washington, D.C. Her work culminated in the title of division chief for five countries—Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, Malta and Greece. She learned diplomacy through her international travel and negotiations. In other words, she learned by doing. After working in D.C., she settled down in Albion, Illinois, and soon became acquainted with New Harmony. She first opened a business, Tabby Cat Antiques, within The Antique Showrooms with New Harmony resident Barbara Conrey. Conrey eventually returned to work for Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Buckland purchased The Antique Showrooms in 1990. Satisfied with her small-
town success, she bought her New Harmony home in 1992. “I like business because it’s always a challenge, it’s never done, there’s always something to learn and there’s always something to improve,” Buckland sums up her philosophy. Her business success proves that philosophy itself needs no improvement. Her rich multi-cultural background has undoubtedly heightened her sensitivity toward cultural and spiritual preferences in her New Harmony community. For the past 23 years, The Antique Showrooms in the Mews has charmed buyers, tourists and townies alike, with its colorful wares. Buckland travels several times a year to markets (apparel, gift and gem) in Los Angeles to offer merchandise in keeping with the casual spirit of New Harmony. In addition, she likes to stock free trade items, such as Haitian iron art, and ethnic items, such as Guatemalan cottons. “It’s a big world [of trade]— not just China,” she comments. “There are many countries that make cheerful goods to warm our hearts.” No matter her hard work,
Buckland praises her “wonderful employees” and insists a team produces the cosmopolitan atmosphere of The Antique Showrooms in the Mews. Likewise, she expresses gratitude to her loyal customers, “many of whom have become friends,” she says. Buckland regularly gives back to her community. A member of the New Harmony Business Associates, she has served on the Kunstfest Committee for 9 years, including 3 years as chairperson. She is now completing her second year as chair of the Marketing Committee.On October 19, she is sponsoring the opening night artist reception at a new Hoosier Salon art exhibit—a first for Buckland. “It’s a tiny way to say ‘thank you’ for all the fine art the Hoosier Salon has brought to New Harmony,” Buckland says. A lot of her time revolves around work since The Antique Showrooms are open every day except Wednesday and are closed for only four holidays. She can’t help but mention the upcoming “Christmas at the Showrooms,” for her customers Saturday, November 10, complete with wine tasting and holiday brunch.
FALL
In spite of her full life, however, Buckland is a faithful member of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in New Harmony. She also hopes to spend a week in Mexico every

year to read on the beach. She enjoys time with her brother and two nieces as their schedules permit. Her three feline companions think Buckland is the cat’s meow.

HARMONIE STATE PARK A Friend For All Seasons!
THE SCENIC WABASH RIVER s the leaves change color and the air brings a chill to the shorter days, Harmonie State Park celebrates autumn with a full schedule of events in October. Everyone is familiar with Haunted Harmonie, held the weekend of October 26 this year. People from around the county—and the country—reserve campsites a good year in advance of this weekend. No reservations are required, however, to board the wagons for $2 hayrides both Friday and Saturday evenings, October 26 and 27, and to view the spooky decorations at the campground. Likewise, anyone can join in the fun all day on Saturday: the 10 a.m. spooky scavenger hunt, the afternoon trick-or-treating (1-3 p.m.) or decorating a pumpkin for judging at the Nature Center at 5 p.m. All courageous Halloween visitors may purchase a glow-in-the-dark Haunted Harmonie t-shirt to brag they survived the weekend. To back up, though, this coming Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. brings an event becoming more popular with each passing year— Craft Fair in the Park. Guests enter the park at a reduced rate of $3 per car, and once in, can shop at dozens of craft and food vendor booths. The Dutch oven cookoff, from 8:30 a.m. to noon, has become a favorite part of this event. The categories this year are main dish, dessert and soup. Winners from each category will receive three free nights of camping. Kids enjoy the free fire truck rides and survive alive house as well as inflatables and a petting zoo. New this year are demonstrators in soap making, candle dipping, open hearth cooking and bread making. Later in the evening, from 7-9 p.m., $2 hayrides will go through the campground. As if these two events weren’t enough, Harmonie State Park is once again the chosen location for the 3rd Annual Posey Humane Society “Tails & Trails Dog Fest” on Saturday, October 20, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dog lovers and their best friends can enjoy a poker run, walking trails, agility course, photos, microchipping, doggy nail trimming, raffles, food and more. Dog owners may retrieve a registration form at www.poseyhumane.org or at Harmonie State Park on the day of the event. The $15 registration fee per dog includes admittance to Harmonie State Park, a t-shirt for the human walker and a goodie bag. People (and even critters) of all ages can appreciate the amazing autumn at Harmonie State Park, but they can’t fully enjoy the park’s wide array of offerings unless they visit during the serene spring, the sensational summer and the wonderful winter. Truly, Harmonie State Park is a friend for all seasons.
A
The Nature Center alone, open most of the year (from May 1 to Halloween), affords valuable information and inspiration to adults and children alike. Naturalist Amelia Wildeman provides a wide variety of interpretive programs that showcase the natural wonders at Harmonie State Park. The Nature Center is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 3 p.m. and on Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. All programs are free and open to the public unless otherwise stated. Before the Nature Center closes for a spell at the end of October, for example, visitors can watch creepy critters, such as brown recluse and black widow spiders, feed on their prey. Or guests may dare to engage in a bat chat or to say hello to the alligator snapping turtle that’s made her home at the park for 11 years now. The squeamish may be content with checking out the honey bees or playing nature bingo. The campground remains open year round, including the cabins equipped with central heat and air. Families may start a Thanksgiving or Christmas holiday tradition of spending a few days together in a cozy, wooded cabin. Area residents may also want to celebrate New Year’s Day at the special hiking event on January 1, 2013 (details to come). Perhaps the easiest way to reciprocate the friendship of nature is to join the Friends of Harmonie State Park. There are six specified giving levels: Student/Junior Ranger ($15), Individual/Senior ($20), Family ($30), Founders Club ($100), Corporate ($500) and Harmonist ($1,000). Members receive newsletters, email updates, voting privileges at business meetings, volunteer opportunities and the satisfaction of helping to support beautiful Harmonie State Park. The group is making great things happen, including a bluebird trail, this past summer’s Luau, a permanent stage and an exhibit of the state record Black Oak that fell. T-shirts with full-color logo designed by USI art student Courtney Ellingsen are available for group members also during events at Harmonie State Park. The website, www.friendsofharmonie.org, provides more in-depth information. Friends can like the Facebook page, too. The next meeting is Thursday, November 8, 6 p.m., at Mount Vernon’s Alexandrian Public Library. Harmonie State Park needs and invites visitors and community members to support this new non-profit organization. Certainly, a membership to Friends of Harmonie State Park would affirm that a friend in need is a friend indeed. Story by Pam Robinson Photos and Layout by Zach Straw

Vikings remain perfect on ‘far from perfect ‘ night Vikes to host Tell City in sectional opener, face Southridge-Mater Dei winner in second round By Dave Pearce About the only way things could have been any worse at Tecumseh’s football stadium on Friday night would have been if you were part of the Tecumseh team or a fan. A steady rain, a whipping wind, and temperatures in the lower 40s made for a miserable night for players and fans on both sides as the North Posey Vikings remained perfect with a 56-6 win over the Class A Braves. Although the Braves are no longer a member of the Pocket Athletic Conference, the win helped keep the Vikings’ season perfect and set them up to play for its first undisputed outright Pocket Athletic title since 1996. The Vikings must defeat Pike Central on senior night Friday night to accomplish that feat. “The conditions were as bad as I can remember having for a long time,” Coach Joe Gengelbach said after the game. “I think the only time I can remember it being that bad was up at North Knox about seven years ago during the sectional. It was cold and pouring down rain. I thought our kids, for the conditions we had, had very few errors. It was obvious early that the smaller Braves did not have an answer for senior running back Wes Harness and a big North Posey line. Harness scored on runs of 65, 29, 31 and 68 on his way to a 271-yard rushing night. Harness scored three times in the first quarter alone, on runs of 65, 29, and 31 yards
as the Vikings built a 21-0 lead at the end of the first period. “I think our concentration on doing what we needed to do was just pretty good, considering those circumstances,” Gengelbach said. The second period was nearly a mirror of the first as Colton Martin went in from five before Harness got loose for 68 yards and 6-foot-5 sophomore Zac Wargel returned an interception 62 yards for another score to cap a 42-0 first half by the unbeaten Vikings. “As an old linemen, that has to be a dream come true,” Gengelbach said with a hearty chuckle regarding the ‘pick six.’ Some kids play their whole career and never get a chance to do that. I think the thing we were all surprised about was that once he caught it, he had some pretty good speed moving down the field because they were not gaining on him. I was really surprised even when I went back and watched it on film. I didn’t realize he could move that fast.” But Gengelbach had nothing but praise for the smaller and younger Braves stating that he has seen improvement in the football program. “He has those kids playing hard but it was just a situation where our up-front people, our offensive and defensive lines, play allowed us to hold onto the ball and not have to take any chances,” the coach said. But it was obvious that the Braves were

thing is that Wes works very hard. There was one time, I think it was there in the second quarter, when two of them had a pretty good

Lady Vikings show dramatic improvement, fall in sectional title game

By Dave Pearce North Posey girls’ soccer coach Scott Butrum knew he had a very young soccer team coming into this season. He also knew that the Lady Vikings have not enjoyed a high level of success in soccer over the years. However, Butrum, with excitement, coached this young squad to a 9-5-3 record this year, coming up one game short of a sectional title. But to get to the title game, the Vikings would have to do what they had not been able to do just a week before, and that was beat Princeton. But in the sectional, his team played probably their best half of soccer all season long and made a 2-0 half-time lead stand up on Thursday evening and advanced to face Mater Dei in the sectional title tilt. The Wildcats, who spent a good part of the season ranked in state polls despite several injuries, defeated Gibson Southern to get to the title match. But the Viking win over Princeton offered several firsts. It was the first time Butrum had won a post-season game with the girls’ program. And Butrum was elated with the win. Just a week before the sectional, the Vikings and the Princeton Tigers had played to a 2-2 tie on the same field. What made the difference come tourney time. “I think I might have been a little bit of the cause the first game we –played them,” Butrum said with an infectious smile after the game. “Knowing that it wasn’t a conference game and knowing that we had to play them again this week, I may not have played them as hard as we should have.” Butrum went on to explain that he did not play some players in the first outing and
played some players in different positions than they normally play in the first outing. But what was intended to be a strategy was not as effective as Butrum had hoped, despite getting the win. “It hurt us because I think it is more difficult for girls to change things back to the way they were,” Butrum explained. ”I learned a valuable lesson there. But when we set them up in the formation we had there in the first half, we dominated the first half.” Savannah King and Loryn Willis, the mainstays on the scoring end all season long, did not let their coach down as each picked up a goal in the decisive first half. But in the second half, the team appeared tired at times and as a predominantly young team, are still getting the competitive legs under them as high school varsity soccer players. Additionally, they have not reached full maturity and some are still experiencing growing. The combination puts some of the team members at an awkward time in their lives. But even with two of the team’s most valuable players out for the season with knew injuries, other members of the team stepped up and the team persevered. “We kind of fell apart there at times in the second half and a lot of it was just that we were playing into the wind a little bit and I think we just lost our focus,” Butrum said. “We’ve been a one-half team way too often this year.” But despite a less-tan-stellar second half, the strong first half carried them into the sectional final game against Mater Dei on Saturday evening.

Princeton adjusts to conditions, Wildcats fumble opportunities By Dave Pearce On a miserable cold, rainy, sloppy, and muddy night in Princeton Friday night, about the only thing positive the Mount Vernon Wildcats could take away from a 48-0 loss at the hands of the host Tigers is the fact there is nowhere to go from here but up. Jayson Jamerson scored four touchdowns and the Tigers held Mount Vernon to minus-40 yards rushing in a dominating performance. The Wildcats (2-6) fumbled 19 times, losing six to the Tigers (4-4). Mount Vernon Coach Paul Maier says football for this year’s squad had become a
mental game. His team is quick to fire up if things are going their way but are also quick to put their heads down if things don’t go their way. Princeton’s Michael Richardson turned a fumble into the game’s first touchdown when he fell on the football in the end zone just four minutes into the game and that seemed to set the tone for not only the Tigers but unfortunately, also for the Wildcats. “Was a football team, we have to be tougher mentally,” Maier said after the game. “We let the conditions bother us and they didn’t bother Princeton. And we have to be mentally tougher if something doesn’t go right
immediately. And right now, if something doesn’t go right, we hang our heads.” But this was not the Princeton Tiger football team that Big Eight Conference opponents have become accustomed to facing in the past few years. The win Friday night evened the team’s record at 4-4 and this year’s team, under a new head coach, is the first of what Princeton fans believe is the resurrection of the program. “They have had some success this year,” Maier said. “I have known their new head coach for quite some time and he is a heck of a coach and a tremendous motivator. I think some of our kids went into the game think-
ing ‘Oh, this is Princeton.’ But this isn’t the same Princeton that they have seen in year’s past. They played hard, much harder than any Princeton team we have faced in a number of years.” Princeton’s coach told his players before the game to “just pin your ears back and go. They won’t have any success throwing in conditions like this so when the ball is snapped, just go as hard as you can.” That philosophy paid dividends as at times, those watching the game weren’t sure if the Mount Vernon quarterback was hand-

Lady Viking hard work turns into pair of wins this week By Dave Pearce It is every coach’s goal to have their respective team playing their best come tournament time. And going into the final week of the regular season, North Posey volleyball coach Natalie Barnard might have just that. For the first time all year, the North Posey Vikings won both the matches they had last week, beating Princeton in an exciting 5-game thriller while handling Wood Memorial with a little less suspense. Against Wood Memorial, the Lady Vikings came out and took care of business. While the Trojans have a couple of excellent hitters, the Viking defense kept the ball away from the big middle hitter and forced the ball to the outside hitters who, according to Barnard, were not having a good night. The Vikings handled the Trojans by scores of 259, 25-21, and 25-14 as Ashley Schorr had six kills and Jordan Butler had three. Hannah Harness added one in the first game In the second game, Schorr and Butler had two apiece while Tylie Robertson had two and Marlee Sims had one. In the third and final game, Schorr came up big, nailing 16 kills while Butler had eight and Morrow and Robertson each had three and Mackenzie Morrow had two. Harness added one. “Wood Memorial had a rough night but I think we took them out of their system,” Barnard said. “They had some pretty good hitters there in the front row. Their warm-ups were solid and I thought it was going to be much more challenging that what it ended up being. But you have to credit our blockers for taking away the part of the court they should have. Wood was trying to hit over our blocks and were hitting it out. It just wasn’t happening for them that night.” But against Princeton, the Vikings started slow, losing the first game 25-23. But in the course of this season, this team has learned to battle back and that nothing is impossible. So they did just that, taking North Posey Viking Mackenzie Morrow gets a put-away during action the second game before falling behind again and this week at North Posey.

Lady Viking soccer, from Page B2 “I think my center mid-fielders got tiered and I think there was too much gap between my forwards and the back,” Butrum said. “But Princeton is much bigger than we are. We are small because we are mostly freshmen and sophomores. We’re going to struggle and when we play kickball with anyone, we are not going to win. We’re just not big enough.” The Vikings appeared that they might pick up right where they left off against Princeton, holding a powerful Mater Dei offense scoreless until near the 25-minute mark of the first half when Haley Rheinlander, found the back of the net. All scores in Saturday evening’s championship game with through the talented junior who showed excellent footwork and skills. Rheinlander scored three goals to spark Mater Dei to a 4-0 decision over North Posey in the championship match of the Class A North Posey girls’ sectional. The Wildcats improved to 13-7.
“Rheinlander is a very good player and is a junior and the girl I had marking her is a freshman,” Butrum said. ”I didn’t think she did a bad job at all.” Although Rheinlander was the smallest player on the field, she was also the quickest and had the best foot skills as she nearly single-handedly beat the Vikings. Once Mater Dei got on the board, they put another pair of goals on the board in the first half and led 3-0 at the half. But this game was very much unlike the first time when the two teams met this season. In that contest, Mater Dei scored inside the first minute of the game and tallied three goals in the first five minutes. The Saturday night effort allowed Butrum to see how far his team has come, despite critical injuries, and gave him high hopes going into next season. “They beat us 8-0 and we cut it in half this time,” Butrum said after the game. “We’re twice as good as we were the first time.
take game four and force a fifth and deciding game five. That game went beyond the standard 15 points before the Vikings could finally wrap it up at 16-14. “It was a close game throughout but for some reason, we just seemed like we were not ready to play at the beginning of this game,” Barnard said. “But in the fifth set, our girls were excited and motivated and wanted to win. We were actually wanting to win it the entire time but we just weren’t able to pull it all together until we had to.” The Vikings were without the services of one of their top hitters in Ashley Schorr who was sick on the day of the Princeton match. But Marlee Sims and Jourdan Werry played the outside positions and according to their coach, both played extremely well. “It was just a case of us trying to make it work and we were finally able to do it there in the fifth set,” Barnard said. So how good were the two teams the Vikings were able to beat this week. “Princeton was a very scrappy team,” Barnard said. “They had a really good middle that were just not able to stop.” Barnard says she hopes last week’s wins are a sign that the girls may be starting to peak as tournament time rolls around. Ultimately, it is every team’s goal to do well in sectional play. “It is obvious at this point that we are not going to have a great season in terms of wins and losses but we can look back on our wins and the games we played well and lost,” Barnard said. “I actually teared up after seeing how well we played against Tell City. I have never been so excited about a loss but I was just so happy with the way we played. They have Mackenzie Hayes on their team who no doubt is going to go Division I and our defense shut her down. We took them to four games and did not make it easy for them.” The Vikings will face Mount Vernon tonight (Tuesday) in Mount Vernon without the services of their top setter in Eli Schapker who is out this week. On Thursday, the Vikings will host Gibson Southern on senior night.
We got better but I’m not sure that they did and I am missing two very key players, one who had surgery this week and the other will find out next week.” But despite injuries and youth, Butrum was extremely proud of the battle his team put up against the Wildcats, especially in the second half. His team was able to penetrate and had several shots on goal as the game wore on. “A much better effort in the second half,” Butrum said. “We weren’t as afraid. I see a lot of the younger girls coming alive. And with the next 11 coming in next year, we’re looking to continue to build. We are going to continue to do nothing but get better.” Although goalies are protected, they sometimes take amazing hits Butrum said that had it not been for the intimidation factor in the while protecting their goal.

Cats continue winning streak against Evansville North By Steve Kochersperger. They say you learn something new everyday. This is true for both individuals and sports teams alike. And on Thursday night all in attendance at the Mount Vernon Volleyball game learned something they never expected to learn at such an event. Not only can the lady Cats play a mean game of volleyball, but they also can sing. Yes sing. After experiencing some technical difficulties not allowing the national anthem to play, the Wildcat Volleyball team took over and sang the anthem to begin the
game. Its only one sports writers opinion, but they didn’t sound half bad. Watch out Mount Vernon choir, you might have new competition! The Wildcats hosted the Evansville North Huskies and continued to play extremely well beating the visitors 25-15, 25-9, 25-10 in three straight sets improving their overall record to 21-3. The first set started out slow for the Wildcats and it seemed early on that the Huskies came to Mount Vernon with their A game. The Huskies played aggressive and jumped out to an early 9-5 lead on the home team. But the Wildcats would respond and not let up the rest of the game. Down 9-5 the Cats took a very important time out to try to get focused early on. The battle continued in the first set as both teams went on runs but eventually the Huskies would take a timeout up 1 at 1312. That’s where Mount Vernon began to cruise. The Wildcats scored seven straight points putting themselves firmly in the lead at 19-13 and ended up scoring the last six of seven points to take the first set victory 25-15. In the second set it was the Wildcats that jumped out to the early lead at 8-3. This prompted the Huskies coaches to take a timeout and try to re-
group but it wouldn’t be enough. The Wildcats would pound the visitors with a very lopsided set and eventually won the second set 25-9. The third set was more of the same as Mount Vernon continued to roll. The Wildcats got up early once again on the Huskies, taking an early 5-0 lead. That’s the closest the Huskies would get on the scoreboard and Mount Vernon took the set and the game at 25-10. Jaycee Ritzert led the way for the Wildcats with 17 kills while Megan Martin had 27 assists in the game as well. Martin also led the way in two other stat categories adding 8 digs and 5 aces. Mount Vernon continues to get better and better every single game they play. That’s the goal of all great teams. And this volleyball team has all the makings of a great team. They continue to play great team volleyball and roll over the competition believing they can beat anyone. As sectional play nears its great to see the team getting better and improving every single time they step on the court. Over the weekend, the Wildcats took the Castle Volleyball Invitational title. Mount Vernon defeated Owensboro Apollo 25-23, 25-8,and Southridge 25-13, 25-18, before defeating the host Castle Knight by scores of 22-25, 25-20, 18-16.

By Steve Kochersperger. The Mount Vernon boys soccer team came into sectional play this past week hoping to steal one away from the Bosse Bulldogs. But Bosse gave no room for an upset Wednesday night going up early and pouring on six goals to defeat Mount Vernon 6-0 in the sectional semi finals.

We have some guys who are tying to do too much and some guys who aren’t doing enough.” Maier said the mental aspect of the game became a factor three or four weeks ago when a play here or there could have made this year’s team a completely different team. “You look back to the Washington game when the first play of the game, on the kick-off return, we had a player get a giant hit on their return player,” Maier said. “It got the sidelines fired up and from that point forward, we dominated that game.” The sectional draw was

to his running back or to the lineman who had penetrated enough to almost intercept the hand-off. That pressure led to what could be a record 19 fumbles by the Wildcats. To show Princeton’s dominance in the contest, the Tigers ran the ball for 212 yards and the Wildcats had a net total of minus 40 yards on the ground. Through the air, Mount Vernon finished with only two yards compared to 86 by the Tigers. The Wildcats were held to only three first downs, So what can the local boys do to rebound from the loss? “Well, obviously they are down,” Maier said on Saturday. “But we still have a chance, if you look at our sectional, to win some games. If they can get it into their heads that they can do it, they can do it.” Maier said that when the coaches broke down the film on Saturday, in most cases, 10 of the 11 players were doing just exactly what they were supposed to be doing on most plays. But there always seemed to be that one person of the 11 who wasn’t doing what he was supposed to do. “They say football is the ultimate team game and Friday night was just proof of that,” Maier said. “That one

Wildcat Girls soccer beat Bulldogs, defeated in Semifinal them 4-0 ending the season for the lady Cats. The loss ends an up and down season for the Wildcats who lose big pieces of their team to graduation. Those three seniors Allyson Blunt, Kate Cox, and Cassie Keitel will be missed. “We will miss the seniors and their
dedication, leadership, and talents”, coach Castle said. “We thank everyone for their support throughout the season”. Cox will go on to continue her soccer career at Indiana State University. She ends the year with 24 goals on the season and 114 in her career.
Mt. Vernon senior Kate Cox found herself surrounded by the Harrison defense, a place she is used to as she is usually double-teamed by most teams who are aware of her soccer skills, during second round action of the Evansville sectional. Cox’s high school career came to an end this week as she looks to physical recovery from injuries she’s sustained over the past few years and as she begins looking forward to playing at the college level. Photo by Terri Koch By Steve Kochersperger. It was a soggy opening to girl’s soccer sectionals in Evansville on Monday, but the Mount Vernon Wildcat girls soccer team didn’t seem to mind. After raining most of the day and some throughout the game, the Wildcats were not about to let the opening game of sectional play slip away from them. The Cats came in determined and ready to play and it showed as they beat
the Bosse Bulldogs 4-1. “The girls played really well”, Mount Vernon coach Liz Castle said. “We are really proud of how well the team played”. The great team play began early for the Wildcats and didn’t seem to let up the whole game. “We scored early in the game which gave us the momentum we needed to push forward for the rest of the 1st half and into the second half”, coach Castle
said. Kate Cox got Mount Vernon on the scoreboard early as she scored on a free kick just four minutes into the game. Wildcat freshman Hadley Whoberry scored with 17:22 left in the first half of play to build the lead to 2-0, before the Bulldogs got on the board just a few minutes later. That Bulldog score seemed to light a fire under the Wildcats and they began to play even more fo-
cused than before. With just a few minutes until halftime Kate Cox scored again to boost the score 3-1 at the half. Cox would score her third goal of the game in the second half icing the game for Mount Vernon and sending the lady Cats into the semifinal matchup against the Harrison Warriors on Wednesday night. That matchup Wednesday night didn’t go the way Mount Vernon would have liked. Harrison proved too strong for the Wildcats defeating

Mount Vernon Tennis’ excellent season ends in Regional opener By Steve Kochersperger. Wessleman’s park was the venue hosting this year’s Evansville Regional boys tennis action this past week. The Mount Vernon boys team took their 17-2 record into the Regional with high hopes, hoping that they would be able to get their second win over the Castle Knights this year. But Castle gave the Wildcats a good fight and defeated Mount Vernon 3-2 in the Regional opener Wednesday afternoon. Castle tennis entered the Regional coming off their 19th straight sectional championship. They returned four players from last year’s team that advanced to the boys’ state tennis tournament and that experienced showed Wednesday.
In number 1 tennis action Wildcat Jevin Redman gave it all he had and fell to Castle’s Neil Jairath 6-1, 6-2 in a hard fought match. The rest of the singles play went well for the Wildcats, bringing home wins against their opponents. In number 2 singles play Wildcat Ross Canada defeated his opponent Ashwin Prasad 7-6, 6-4 in a very close match. Todd Sheffer rounded out singles play with his win over Andy Buzza 6-4, 6-2. It was in doubles action that Castle took over to defeat Mount Vernon and move on to the regional final. Seth
Reeves and Luke Steinhart had their season ended by Castle’s Saurab Chaudhry and Jake Lobel 6-2, 6-3, while Wildcats Logan Brown and Hunter Wilson dropped their match to Issach Alling and Ryan Sturgeon 3-6, 6-1, 6-0. Altogether it was a great seaon for the boys tennis team in Mount Vernon. And though the team loses four seniors, Ross Canada, Jevin Redman, Seth Reeves, and Jacob Rynckiewich, the team brings back a few experienced tennis players that will always remember the run they made at the end of this season.

New Indiana laws aim to help ex-offenders find work
Published in the Posey County News on September 25 & October 9, 2012
Two significant changes in state law allows non-violent offenders to have their criminal records sealed as well as gives courts the power to convert a Class D felony conviction to a Class A misdemeanor upon petition. The new Indiana laws, which went into effect last July, aim to help ex-offenders find work. "Every legislative session, new laws pass that directly impact the lives of Hoosiers," said Jamal L. Smith, Executive Director of the Indiana Civil Rights Commission. "It's important that we share this information with people so that everyone has a clear understanding of their rights. These laws, specifically, have gone relatively unnoticed.” To have criminal records sealed ex-offenders must wait a minimum of eight (8) years following the completion of their sentence. Likewise, ex-offenders must wait
a minimum of three (3) years following the completion of their sentence to request a conversion of a Class D felony conviction to a Class A misdemeanor. With both laws, sex or violent offenders, persons convicted of a Class D felony that resulted in bodily injury to another person, or individuals still serving sentences related to criminal activity are not eligible to submit a petition. Contact Indiana Legal Services or a private attorney for more information. The Indiana Civil Rights Commission enforces the Indiana civil rights laws and provides education and services to the public in an effort to ensure equal opportunity for all Hoosiers and visitors to the State of Indiana.
