Mount Vernon, USI form agreement By Lois Mittino Gray Members of the Mount Vernon School Board approved an innovative business program for next semester that can lead to ten high school students receiving a $250 scholarship for completing the program and enrolling at the University of Southern Indiana. At its December 7 meeting, the board approved a memorandum of understanding agreement between the district and USI to establish the scholarship program and to better prepare students for college.

Called the Student Financial Success Program, it is the brainchild of high school Business Teacher Jim Hatfield. USI will provide monthly presentations for students on subjects such as Savings, Debt, Budgeting, and Wealth Building. They will also provide one-on-one student coaching, which may involve several meetings, and will provide students access to online supplemental materials. Up to ten students who successfully complete the SFSC program are eligible for the $250 scholarship match

to be taken off their USI billing statement. The scholarship is not transferable to another college or university or not refundable directly to the student. USI clearly stated in the agreement that it is not providing financial advising services to the students for wealth building. In return, the MSDMV will provide adequate space to conduct the program safely, refer students, and provide the money for the scholar-

Evansville man faces sex charges By Dave Pearce An Evansville man faces charges of Rape and Sexual Misconduct with a minor following an investigation by the Mount Vernon Police Department. Edward Cahill, 44, of 2613 Cass Avenue, Evansville, was arrested in Missouri and is now lodged in the Posey County Jail. According to the Probable Cause Affidavit, Cahill had been staying at a relative’s home in Posey County. The relative told

a Posey County Police Detective that her daughter was pregnant and that Cahill was the father. The victim was taken to Holly’s House in Evansville where she explained that many instances of non-consensual sex had occurred between Cahill and her. Medical records confirm that the juvenile is pregnant. Cahill is being held in the Posey County Jail.

By Lynda Baker At the December meeting of the Poseyville Town Council last week Councilman Mike Baehl announced that the town was one of 241 Indiana towns and/or counties to receive a portion of $101,000,000 set aside by the State of Indiana as Community Crossing Grants. Poseyville was awarded $374,028.75 to be used toward street repairs in 2021. The State will be responsible for 75 percent of the cost of such improvements, with the town’s portion to be 25 percent. This is the third time the town has received such a grant for street repairs as part of its ongoing Sum-

mer repairs program prepared by its engineers. Baehl thanked Council President Bruce Baker for his work on all of the State grants that the town has received in past years, which grants total over $7,000,000. The Council approved a routine end of year funds transfer requested by Clerk/Treasurer Christy Foster to clear the town’s books for 2020. The Council also approved an ordinance regarding reimbursement to the town by the State of Indiana for public safety equipment, such as per-

Evansville pair faces multiple charges after Cynthiana arrest By Dave Pearce An Evansville man and woman were arrested over the weekend in Cynthiana. According to the Probable Cause Affidavit, Cynthiana Town Marshal James T. Harrington and his K-9 Jagger were on duty in Cynthiana on Saturday evening. About 10:14 p.m., Harrington conducted a traffic stop in the parking lot of JJ’s Restaurant at 10411 Main Street of a white 2012 Buick LaCrosse registered to Tama-

rah Ann Jackson of Evansville. The vehicle was occupied by Jackson, William Gregory-Zane Brotherton, and another female occupant, all of Evansville. Harrington indicated that as he approached the driver’s door of the car, he informed the driver of the vehicle that he had stopped her because she drove left of center on Evansville Street. He also explained that she could not display red and blue lights on her vehicle in the

State of Indiana, and amber and white lights are the only lights allowed on the front of a vehicle. Harrington indicated during the conversation, he smelled an odor commonly associated with Marijuana emitting from within the car and noticed that Brotherton’s eyes were glassy, red, and watery. Brotherton is 19 years of age. At that point, Harrington instructed Jackson

Student Council puts title into actions

Sponsor Angela Delancy helps make it happen

Angela Delancy

(USPS 439-500)

By Lois Mittino Gray Teamwork and leadership make great things happen. This was evidenced Saturday night when three Mount Vernon High School teachers and members of the clubs they sponsor put their heads together to pull oﬀ “Santa’s Drive Through” in the parking area at the junior high school. Student Council Sponsor Angela Delancy said 142 cars were counted passing through the ﬁrst-time event. “We talked about doing this when the students did the Halloween Trunk or Treat drive through that was so popular in October. FFCLA Sponsor Tammy Schneider heard that the Christmas on Main Street Parade and Santa Party had to be canceled and proposed the idea. The students agreed and wanted the younger kids to still have Christmas and be able to see Santa and get a gift and the plan for this was born,” she ex-

plained. Delancy and her group worked with Schneider and FCCLA students and Alicia Schmidt’s FFA members. Together, they presented three scenes as drivers, who patiently waited in a very long line, slowly drove by. “Santa’s Barn” featured two horses named Micky and Cutter owned by teacher Schmidt, happily munching hay in jaunty jingle hats. Students there passed out reindeer food with sparkles and oats in plastic bags to take home and spread out on the lawn on Christmas Eve. “Mrs. Claus’ Kitchen” was a nostalgic scene of helpers enjoying hot chocolate and a big tray of Christmas cookies, passed out to them by teacher Schneider. “Santa’s Workshop” featured the special guest of honor himself as he passed out 273 gifts to children in grade ﬁve and under as they rode by. The gift giving operation was deftly

handled by Delancy and her Student Council crew. She stood by the Welcome Station at the onset, while cars were checked in and names and ages of children were recorded on laptops by students. Way at the other end, other efﬁcient students, standing next to Santa, looked at their laptops and knew names and gender of gifts to pass out for each car. “The gifts came from Christmas on Main Street funds and Becky Higgins and Larry Williams helped us to get them. Students did all the wrapping and sorted them by gender and it went smoothly,” she noted. Delancy is in her second year as Student Council Sponsor, a role she coshares with teacher Kristen Block. “I just absolutely love working with Student Council. It is a diﬀerent dynamic from just teaching them in the classroom. At this level, you can watch new strengths emerge, that you might not

have seen before, especially in leadership,” she commented. The Mount Vernon Student Council is a 31-year “Honor Chapter” of the Indiana Student Council Association. “We go to a lot of leadership training with a focus on service projects. We are in charge of Homecoming events from theme days to court elections. We helped with Sunrise Spirit and the food can collection, the Hygiene Supply Drive, Wildcat Closet and all sorts of things,” she quickly rattled oﬀ with pride. Delancy is in her third year teaching at Mount Vernon High School. She teaches freshmen and junior English classes. Topics range from Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” to “The Great Gatsby” in American Literature for juniors. Interestingly, the Drama

Searching for the lost child

Oh no, I think I lost B L

the baby M G Jesus again. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember where I put him. In a drawer? A closet? A Christmas box? Oh wait, here he is in the little ceramic box with the red bow. We have a tradition in our family that when I set up my Fontanini nativity scene, we arrange all the ďŹ gures carefully in their stances. Everyone is in their required place, whether it be around the stable, shepherds out in grassy ďŹ elds, or people who live in the little Italian village we make at one end with a tavern, bakery, wine shop and other buildings. There is one exception: the manger is empty. The baby gets hidden away until Christmas morning when, as if by magic, he appears in the manger, since it is his day of birth. My children loved to see him there upon waking, as if to reaďŹ&#x192;rm the reason for the season. However, one Christmas when both sons were teens, they had an absolute hissy ďŹ t of grins when I could not remember where I hid him away that morning. They laughed uproariously as I searched through every box and drawer and closet, peeved and perplexed. Mom became the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christmas

Ditzâ&#x20AC;? for the day and the manger looked so naked. The cows and sheep and camels looked bored to death staring at empty hay. Do you know I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ďŹ nd the baby until the following June? I pulled open the drawer to an end table in the living room, where we kept park maps for visitors, and there he was lying atop a map of the horse trails. What on Earth possessed me to hide him in there while I was getting my manger scene ready that year? Now, every year, even my grandchildren, knowing the story, tease me about remembering where he is. I remember Hannah putting him very carefully in that ceramic Christmas box with the bow when we set it up last year. All three ran to take him out for me when they came over on Christmas Day, just in case the Ditz had reared its ugly head again. This year, Jim and I set up the manger scene alone, with no fanfare, as COVID-19 robbed us of yet another tradition to do together. My nativity scene has swelled to over ďŹ fty ďŹ gurines, animals and buildings made at the famous Fontanini factory in Lucca, Italy. I get about three or four new ones every year. One of the wise men even arrives on a huge bedecked elephant; the other two just get the usual camels. I also have a zebra and meerkat peering into the stable for some reason.

Several years ago, Marco Fontanini was invited by the gift shop Rosemarieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Evansville to come in for a guest appearance to autograph the ďŹ gurines. At that time, I was just starting my collection and only had the basic Holy Family and the Wise Men statues. I waited in a long line until it was my turn and greeted him in Italian. He quickly looked up from the boring routine with these dark sparkling amused eyes. I looked into the face of one of the handsomest Italian men I have ever seen on screen or oďŹ&#x20AC;! His manners were impeccable and he was dressed as if right oďŹ&#x20AC; the high fashion runway in Milan. We chatted as he signed as I struggled to compose sentences with my knees knocking. To this day, I smile with that memory when I see the autographs on Joseph and Mary and the three wise guys. I was a little put oďŹ&#x20AC; that he signed his name across Baby Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rear end, but I guess that was the ďŹ&#x201A;attest surface for such a long name. I have mentioned in prior columns that I am an active member of the Italian-American Social Club of Evansville. My husband and I host the annual Christmas party and feast in our spacious home, but alas, it is canceled this year due to COVID. I will have to sing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dominic, the Italian Donkeyâ&#x20AC;? by myself. My mother, Lina, who assumed the Ditz role at times in her later years, used to sing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dominic, the Italian Monkeyâ&#x20AC;? at

the top of her voice at the Christmas dinner table. While the grandchildren giggled, no one had the heart to tell her there are no monkeys in her beloved Italy. At the Italian Club party last year, I stood alongside one of our older members named Antonietta, who came to this country as the war bride of Paul Walters. She gazed at my Fontanini scene and was mesmerized by its beauty. She loved that the manger was still empty. Usually chatty, she was quiet for several minutes, just smiling. I could tell she was reminiscing something from a long time ago in her head. She told a delightful story that every year her family in Italia gathered around the nativity at midnight after a Christmas Eve spent eating ďŹ sh dishes and sweets. The children got up close to look at the manger, as they were allowed to stay up for Christmas magic. The lights would ďŹ&#x201A;icker oďŹ&#x20AC; and blink for a minute and then, the baby was lying there! She chuckled and said her mother always wore her Christmas sweater with big pockets and had mastered the art of pulling the baby out with a swift swipe. Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that a wonderful story? Nativity scenes originated in Italy. St. Francis of Assisi is credited with creating the ďŹ rst one in 1223 at Greccio, in central Italy. Today they are used worldwide to depict the birth of baby Jesus. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose him.

Vernon. Up until now all my residences were in Posey County near the home place except the four years at Purdue. Dave had been the Sports editor at the local Mount Vernon newspaper and did not have much opportunity for advancement unless he moved. He took a job as editor at the Boonville Standard in 1991 and you would have thought he was moving me to another country, at least in my parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes. We purchased a home on ďŹ rst street in Boonville and we made the move with Eric beginning ďŹ rst grade at Oakdale Elementary. All was well and one day my dad, brother, Eric and myself took a trip to Saint Louis to see a Cardinal baseball game. We were driving to the game and I got a call from Dave that he had bought us a new house, which I had not seen. Yes, he did! It was on Third Street in Boonville a few blocks away on City Lake. He will tell you today it is one of his favorite homes we have lived in and it is one of my least favorite ones. While we had many memories and met wonderful friends in 1996 Dave got the opportunity to return to Mount Vernon to be the editor. The house search landed us in Birdland on Oriole Circle in a small home. There were not many homes on the market at that time. While there we met our next-door neighbor, Phyllis Barker, my high school counselor, unfortunately she passed away after a couple of years. She had a beautiful ranch home with a ďŹ nished basement. You guessed it we purchased her home and moved across the yard to our next home on Oriole Circle. Dave decided he needed more change, moving homes was not enough adventure so he decided to change careers and sell cars. In 2005, we decided to make the move to Dempewolf Ford in Henderson, Kentucky. The house hunt began, again. We found a beautiful home being built on Bent Creek Golf Course just outside of Henderson which was scheduled to be on the Henderson Parade of Homes, our new home. Eric was now in college at Murray State University, so it was Dave and I continuing on our journey. In 2008, due to the death of the Jim Kohlmeyer, beloved owner and publisher of the Posey County News, we were persuaded to purchase the paper from his wife, Donna. Posey County here we come, again! We found an older home on Cale Street in Poseyville and did some remodeling. Now, I have to admit the next move may have been more my idea than Daveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. There was a very nice brick home with beautiful backyard landscaping which I loved. Church Street in Poseyville was our next residence. On Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day in 2019 we moved to Main Street in Poseyville, if you are counting that is three houses in ten years. Dave and I thought it was a perfect house. It was a beautiful two story with a basement home that would accommodate our son, his wife and two children when they came to visit from Lexington, Kentucky. In the fall of that year Eric made the decision to take a job at Sabic and move his family here. Put your seat belt on because here is where it

getâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit crazy. Dave and I purchased a modular home on the three acres my dad had deeded us some years ago. He had always hoped we would build and live there. They were going to live there while they built their home on the ground south of our property on the home place. Dave and I would move into the modular and be close by to help with the grandchildren. After much thought they decided on a lot in a subdivision outside of Mount Vernon which was a good decision for them. Now we had two homes and we had to sell one. In October of this year on a beautiful fall afternoon Dave randomly decided to put both houses, the Main Street home in Poseyville and the modular on the home place, up for sale on Facebook at 1:30 p.m. Since it is 2020 and all of its craziness I am working from home. At 4:30 that afternoon while I was still working upstairs in my â&#x20AC;&#x153;oďŹ&#x192;ceâ&#x20AC;? he walks up the stairs with a lady looking at our home. By 9:30 p.m. her realtor made us an oďŹ&#x20AC;er we could not resist. Dave is not a fan of the country, so he frantically began looking for us another home in Poseyville area. If you have not kept up with real estate lately you may be surprised to know that there are very few homes on the market. We wanted all one story since are now oďŹ&#x192;cially old. After a few weeks we had to make the decision to move to the home place as our December 15 date to be out of the Main Street house was rapidly approaching. This past Saturday was the move date and with the help of Furniture Fetchers moving company and many family and friends I am writing this on Monday in our residence on the home place. Dave and I are physically and emotionally exhausted but we are here. Dave says this is very temporary and continues to look for a house in Poseyville. I am too tired to count how many houses this is but if you would like to try to count them and let me know that would be much appreciated because I do not have the energy. I always say your home is where your heart is which I truly believe. So, our journey continues but the best part of all of those moves has been meeting new neighbors and people in diďŹ&#x20AC;erent communities. We have always been members in the churches of our communities we lived and have met the most wonderful people along our journey. With Christmas 11 days away, I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the traditional Christmas decorations or festivities (but we probably wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anyway with COVID this year). You can imagine how many Christmas cards we mail out each year and receive from all of the wonderful people we have met through this journey. It is wonderful hearing from family and friends. I will warn you this year those cards may have to be Happy New Year cards or even Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day cards but you are still cherished in our hearts and mind. From our â&#x20AC;&#x153;current homeâ&#x20AC;? to your home Dave and I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We are praying you are all blessed in the year and years to come.

Well, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve moved (again)! We l l we have moved again! When I married B C D a v e P 31 years ago, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. If you know Dave, you would know that he loves change and adventure. Me on the other hand loves, let us just say consistency. My parents bought our family farm when I was three years old near New Harmony, Ind., in 1963. The house was very old with a coal furnace and enough leaks in the roof that when it rained, it took all the buckets and pans in the house to collect the rain. If I remember correctly, we had to place three pans on my bed, and I had to move to the couch to sleep. On December 7, 1972, our family moved into the new brick home that my parents built behind the old leaky one and we thought we had moved into a mansion. It is just a ranch style three-bedroom brick home but to us it was a mansion. My parents lived there until they both passed. After graduating from Mount Vernon High School in 1978, I had to make my ďŹ rst move away from home to Purdue University which I called home for the next four years. After graduation I moved back with my parents until I got married. My ďŹ rst husband and I were fortunate to put a

modular home on his family farm about ten miles from my parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home. When he was killed in an auto accident when I was 25 years, old my son and I moved back to our family home on the farm, let us call it going forward the â&#x20AC;&#x153;home place.â&#x20AC;? Due to multiple injuries I received in the accident, including eight broken ribs, I was not able to take care of a 10-month-old baby by myself and needed assistance for a while. Once on the mend I purchased a mobile home and put it on the home place next to my brother and his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mobile home just north of our parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home. Eric and I stayed there until I was ďŹ nancially able to buy a nicer home for Eric and I on Lawrence Drive in Mount Vernon. I decided it was time to think of an alternative to the mobile home when I opened a kitchen drawer and found a mother mouse and her babies stuck in cough syrup that had spilled in the drawer. They were alive but just could not move. The upside to the mobile home was that we had deer everywhere since the farm borders the Harmonie State Park. It was quite a scene to wake up and see a herd of deer in your yard. While living in the Lawrence Drive house I met Dave and married him when Eric was four years old. Up until this point my residence moves were either normal life moves or because of circumstances that had occurred in my life. This is where the house journey begins. Most of the moves were Daveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea but I usually bought into after some persuasion. In a couple of years, he found a beautiful home on Cherry Hill in Country Club Estates in Mount

The Christmas Planets

Peg bought me a telescope for my birthday. With the assigned birthday of Jesus rapidly approaching Peg and I are eagerly anticipating a view of the Christmas Star on 2020â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Winter Solstice, December the twenty-ďŹ rst at 4:02 a.m. Although we plan to take what the military might call a â&#x20AC;&#x153;gentlemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? approach and start our search about 6:00 p.m. that day. We see no need to get up at the crack of dawn to â&#x20AC;&#x153;discoverâ&#x20AC;? the conjunction of the planets Jupiter and Saturn in the southwest sky. After all, the Milky Way galaxy has been around almost from the beginning of the universe, that is 13.7 billion years, so billions of other humans have already seen the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Star in the eastâ&#x20AC;?. According to the Gospel of Matthew wise men from the east, probably Babylonia or Per-

sia, while looking to the west toward Bethlehem observed the astonishingly bright â&#x20AC;&#x153;starâ&#x20AC;?. Some scholars posit they may have related it to the messianic prophecies contained in the Old Testament book of Malachi, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unto you shall the sun of righteousness arise and healing is in his wingsâ&#x20AC;?. A clue as to the birth of this promised messenger was the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;sunâ&#x20AC;?. As the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, marked the return of all the good things brought by sunlight, many philosophers and theologians have attached the birth of Jesus to the time of that event on the celestial calendar. And, since nine months before Decemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Winter Solstice is the Vernal or Spring Equinox, many have postulated that the Immaculate Conception was in March of that same year. Of course, these concepts are part of the Christian tradition. In the United States, Article I of our Constitution guarantees each of us the right to worship or not worship as we see ďŹ t.

nor inclined to give ecclesiastical advice. I am referring to the astronomical phenomenon of what may have been taken as a sign by heavenly observers during eight months of 7 B.C. when Jupiter and Saturn appeared in conjunction to give the appearance of an extremely bright star. And my only qualiďŹ cations to give opinions on star gazing are that I have seen the Broadway musical Hair, have surfed the Internet for historical information and have been given a telescope. On the other hand, I oďŹ&#x20AC;er the observation that that is not unlike the so-called authority of cable news anchors on many other subjects. Anyway, when it comes to Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; birthdate no one really knows. But we do know that Pope Julius I in 336 A.D. wanted to counteract the pagan celebrations of the Winter Solstice when he decreed December 25th to be the date of Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; birth. The pope was using the Roman calendar not the Gregorian calendar ergo the ac-

tual date of the Winter Solstice varied from the 25th. Regardless, by ďŹ rst setting Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; birthdate in December scholars could then subtract nine months and set His conception in March at the Vernal Equinox. Behind our cabin at JPeg Osage Ranch is a high hill we call Pegâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peak or Mogul Margaretâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mountain. When the galaxy gets all aligned on December 21st Peg and I plan to go to the top of our promontory and gaze upon the Christmas Star that has not been seen in this conďŹ guration for 800 years. We are trying to convince ourselves that we will again be atop our observatory the next time the Christmas Star appears which will be March 2080. On the other hand, it might be prudent for us to celebrate now. Merry Christmas!

Loryl William Lackey Loryl William Lackey was born to Adelaide Catherine and Wilbur Lackey, the younger brother of Bonnie (McKay). Loryl died peacefully, surrounded by the love of his life Laurie and his loving family on December 9th after his typically upbeat and graceful engagement with Louis Body Dementia. He was preceded in death by his mother and father, his aunt Martha Lackey, Aunt Millie Barrett, Uncle Bill Barrett, Cousin Barbara Barrett, and also his father in-law Aaron Wilson Loryl graduated from Mater Del High School in 1961 where he wrestled as a light weight weighing in at 96 lbs. He enlisted in the Air Force in 1962, serving his country and the world until 1968. He was stationed in Germany, learning the language and a global perspective in his spare time. Upon returning home, a citizen of the world, he brought his unique experiences and broadened outlook back to the Tri-State area where he attended ISUE (BA) and University of Evansville (MA). Loryl officially became Mr. Lackey in 1971, embarking on his long and profoundly impactful teaching career at Mount Vernon Senior High School. Over the ensuing 28 1/2 years, he befriended all and taught many who spent time at MVHS. Mr. Lackey was the perennial favorite to win GE’s Teacher of the Year and won the award frequently. No matter the class or student, Mr. Lackey provided hours of understanding and mentoring. Students loved his psychology classes, often secretly contemplated his mysterious bachelorhood and delighted in his imperfect resemblance to Saturday Night Live’s “Church Lady”. Mr. Lackey enjoyed his fellow teachers and was an avid runner. He was always positive and upbeat never seeming to have a bad day. He was very generous with his time, a great listener and never judgmental. He met his best friend and partner in life Laurie in 1995 and they married in 1997. They spent an adventurous honeymoon in Europe and (barely) returned home safely. He became a father for the first time to daughters Laci (Barnhart) and Kali (Conkling) and son, Wade Barnhart. Loryl always said, his children and grandchildren were his biggest blessings. His many years of teaching prepared him well for fatherhood and all of its rewards and challenges. His children especially enjoyed his sense of humor, caring nature and very, VERY pragmatic gifts. He retired from teaching professionally in 1999. His first grandchild Ethan Lee, was born in 2000 and Loryl became the legendary Papa.

Merry Christmas dear friend

Madeleine, do you have one special friend B that you will likely still be C close to when you are my P

age? I hope that you do. Almost every morning, I can expect my phone to ring and it will be my lifelong friend, Brenda Patrick. If it was 60 years ago, my mother would have taken us to Princeton to do some Christmas shopping today. We think back on those days often. It is hard to be two old ladies now, with various ailments. The same Christmas music would have been playing, and I am sure we were excited about the coming holidays. It didn’t take much money to make our little purchases, but we chose carefully. We had grandparents and aunts to find that perfect item for; as well

as our mothers. I am deeply thankful that both of us have survived this long. We share urinary issues, as well as walking problems. She lives with her daughter, Melody, and some grandchildren. Although she has still not fully recovered from knee surgery, I think she gets around better than I can now. She takes pride in being able to do household chores and tries not to get in the way of the young folks. She loves to send greeting cards and worries when one doesn’t get here to me in a timely way. Her family has lost many members and she is currently very worried about her Aunt Nancy, who resides, with her husband, at Solarbron, and is battling the Covid virus. I choose to remember Nancy as the high energy Cynthiana cheerleader we looked up to very highly. A few years ago, she came into Country Cottage often and I marveled at how good she looked then. As I sit here and listen to the Christmas carols playing on WIKY, I face the inevitable fact that this part of our lives will not last all that

long. I am in much worse health than I was last Christmas and that is just the way it works. As I have said so many times, I only wish someone knew what is wrong with me. I know I will feel better when my teeth get finished. Brenda has faced so many things, including the deaths of her children and husband. Living in Sheridan Indiana, she is just far away enough to make visiting difficult. I just hope that I will be getting her morning phone calls for a long time to come. I picture those two little girls we used to be. One never pictures getting old, though. We lived in good times; the 50s and 60s, and saw many changes, inventions, and history being made. I wish my children and grandchildren realized how quickly life is snatched away, I would love to see them more often, but they are busy making their own history. I am so glad Brenda and I have good memories to share. Merry Christmas dear friend.

Drive-through live nativity especially attractive in 2020 By Trisha L. Lopez Posey County residents looking for extra Christmas spirit this season are invited to experience the Christmas story live…in drive-thru format… at the Mount Vernon Community ChurchBlack’s Chapel from 5 to 7 p.m., on Sunday, December 20. The church, located at 1800 West 4th., St., has been staging a live nativity scene since 2013, when church board members challenged themselves to find a form of outreach unique to their small congregation. “I mentioned that I wished our church was big enough to do a live nativity with real animals,” Connie Angel recalled. “However, I figured it would cost too much money. Where would we find the live camel and donkeys?” Angel said it didn’t take long for the idea to take off. Church member Nancy Hasting knew where animals could be rented. “Of course, in our small church, if you bring up an idea, the project becomes your baby!” Angel said. “But the excitement was growing and it became everybody’s baby. The very next morning Nancy and I were on the phone planning the whole thing.” The congregation came together, pitching in supplies and talents to make their idea a reality. “Nancy and Debbie Topper started designing and making the outfits. They worked day and night because they had a lot of outfits to make in a short amount of time. My husband had torn down a small old barn and used the old wood to make the stable. Ray Vanover designed and built a beautiful star for above the stable. Bryan Topper spent countless hours working on setting things up for us. Gerry McFadin, age 90 at the time, wanted to be involved. So she, Kathy and Bob Raab kept count of the cars going through. I know I’m leaving out many, many of our congregation who were involved in helping. It was a project of love,” Angel recalled. “Thus our Drive-thru Nativity was born,” she said. Angel said they had 230 cars drive through their first year. She said the weather plays a big role in the turn out each year. “The coldest year was 2016. It was 16 degrees and miserable. We had 66 cars go through,” she said. “However, when we plan this, we have no way of knowing what the weather will be. We put our faith to action. We have hand warmers and feet warmers available.” Angel said finding volunteers to get involved in the live nativity is never a struggle. They have 30 people involved in this year’s event so far. She said church members look forward to it every

year. “It is one of the highlights of our church year,” she explained. With Governor Holcomb ordering restrictions on large events in response to increasing Covid-19 numbers and health officials recommending fewer family gatherings, the church has the safety of its participants in mind. “We decided to go ahead with the Drive-Thru Nativity because people need a good distraction this year. We shortened the time from three hours to two hours because we don’t want to switch outfits. There will be no soup and sandwiches for our participants to snack on during break. In the past, we had baby sheep that our shepherds would take to the cars for the children to pet. We are not sure if we will be able to do that this year. We will not be able to allow people to get out of their cars to get close up views of the camel and other animals. We are not sure if our angels will be handing out candy canes either,” Angel said. She said canceling the event would have been a huge disappointment to their congregation. “We have infants to a 98-year-old involved in this endeavor. Four years ago, Catherine Landolt was our live baby Jesus. Now she has grown up to be a shepherd. It will not look like a normal nativity scene. Our wisemen will be distanced in the stable. Everyone will be wearing masks. Welcome to the world of the 2020 pandemic,” Angel said. The Drive-Thru Nativity has been a labor of love for Angel and her church over the years and she said the positivity it brings makes all of the work worthwhile. “I love seeing the children and their faces when they get to see live animals and get to pet them,” she said. “One year in particular stands out in my memory. About three years ago, a young mother brought her children through to see the nativity. They all enjoyed it so much, she went straight to the Mount Vernon Rehabilitation Center and picked up her grandmother and brought her, in her pajamas, to see the live nativity. Her grandmother was in tears enjoying petting the baby sheep. That one time for me has made the last seven years worth every worth every minute we have spent preparing. But most of all, we are doing it to help celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.” While Angel asks that all guests be “mindful of the pandemic” and remain in their cars as they drive through, she said that the virus makes the message of the Drive-Thru Nativity even more important.

Mount Vernon Community Church held it’s third annual drive-thru Live Nativity in 2015. Adults and children alike were wowed by the heartfelt scene which included live animals. Seen here are Ray Vanover, Jerry Sullivan, George McCarty, Erica Landolt, Derek Landolt, and Gary C. Mays. Photo by Audra Straw “There is so much going on today, with the political scene and the pandemic. It affects us all. Our children can’t play or be with their friends. They don’t know from one week to the next whether they will be learning in school or at home online. Our older adults are scared to go out or to be around anyone, even their own families. The middle agers, though cautious themselves, are taking care of their elderly family and their grandchildren while trying to work and run their own lives. It’s just crazy for everyone,” Angel said. “This brings us to the Christmas story and the nativity. Jesus was born to be our savior, which means rescuer or deliver. When I see the manger scene, it is, to me, a serene place, calm, peaceful and tranquil. This year, when you go by a manger scene, just stop, clear your mind and really look at it. Jesus was born for us, to give us peace, to rescue us and deliver us. Let’s accept that peace. Whatever happens with the political scene or with the pandemic, Jesus will take care of us. We may not always be happy with the outcome, but He will take care of us because He loves us. We accept that by faith, confidence and trust. Jesus is our gift this Christmas.”

‘Poseyville’ continued from Page A1 sonal protective equipment and software, for the purpose of conducting town business during the pandemic crisis, in the amount of $33,000, with any unused funds to be transferred to the town’s general fund for payroll purposes per the State Board of Accounts. Town Marshal Charles Carter informed the Council that his department’s Christmas toy drive had raised $600 this year for the purchase of toys for local children. He will continue to accept donations until the end of the year, with any unused funds to be retained for next year’s toy purchases. “This community always steps up to meet the need,” he said. Marshal Carter also indicated that his department will be in compliance with the new law enforcement software update requirements for 2021 by the end of this year. Town Attorney William Bender and Marshal Carter are currently preparing an ordinance regarding livestock within town limits, particularly with regard to chickens, as the Marshal has received numerous complaints concerning damage they have caused to the properties of several residents. The Councilmen expressed their appreciation to everyone who has been involved in the fabulous new town Christmas activities. With 2020 having been such a difficult year, projects such as the drive-in movies, tree lighting, and golf cart carolers have been enjoyed by many. Utility Clerk Jamie Hyatt expressed concern regarding utility bill mailings, as several residents have indicated that they are not receiving timely billings. She requested that town utility customers contact her at the town hall in the event they are not receiving timely bills so that she can verify their address information. Councilman Justin Collins indicated that he would like to donate a year’s salary, minus taxes, for the purpose of demolishing the old water plant and redoing the area for gravel retention. Councilmen Bruce Baker and Baehl suggested that the town request a bid on the value of scrap salvage at the site in order to defray some of the project costs. Collins said that Larry Naas had given him

an estimate of around $8,000 to $9,000 for the project. He will look into the matter further. The fire department has posted new “no parking” signs around its property, as well as “danger/no trespassing” signs in the radio tower area. Chief Elect Jason Kohle also told the Council that repairs had been made to the department’s rescue truck and other vehicles had received routine servicing. Mounts Electric has also begun the LED lighting project at the firehouse. There was a discussion regarding the shortage of volunteer firefighters at the department, with daytime coverage being the most immediate need. Anyone interested in joining the department should contact the town hall for the fire chief’s contact information. Friday, December 11 will be the last day for leaf collection per Superintendent Jeremy Farrar. Christy Foster shared that work on the town park on Cynthiana Road will likely not begin until Spring. It is hoped that lumber prices will come down by then so that a new shelterhouse can be erected with funds received from a state grant the town received for such purpose. Massive fires in western states have caused lumber prices to skyrocket at this time. Baehl has been in contact with an Eagle Scout candidate regarding fencing around the park. He said that the pandemic has interfered with scouting activities, but the scout still plans to work on the fence as his project. Foster also indicated that, in addition to the tree lighting, movies and caroling that have already occurred, a town scavenger hunt is scheduled for December 19, 2020. Information will be made available at the town hall at noon that day. Prizes will be available for participating children. Baehl expressed his pleasure with the Santa and reindeer event that was held at the library recently. All of the Councilmen were very excited about this year’s Christmas activities and had been very impressed by the community’s creativity in providing the same considering the effects of the Covid virus. There was a discussion regarding another request of

change of time of future board meetings by Collins, who had apparently had some difficulty in coordinating his review of the town’s monthly claims. Baehl and Baker did not want to make another time change. Foster indicated that she will have claims ready for review by Councilmembers by noon on the day of each future monthly meeting, with all other materials to be provided to Councilmembers via email in advance of each meeting. She cannot email claim information due to the volume of such information. There was also a discussion about conducting in-person council meetings at the community center. It was decided that the Council would continue to meet virtually for the time being due to Indiana State pandemic guidelines. Donna Nash expressed her enjoyment of the town’s Christmas activities, as well as the celebration at the library arranged by Heather Morlan. She also indicated that several ladies in town would be volunteering to replace the bows on the town’s Christmas decoration for next year. Foster announced that the town is presently creating a new website where the town can post information such as new ordinances, agendas, meeting minutes, etc., for public viewing. She said that Facebook was a temporary solution, but that the new website would enable town staff to provide far more information to the public. She will provide more information once the new website goes online. Baker attended the meeting from his hospital room. He deeply appreciated all of the kind thoughts, prayers and offers of assistance he had received from everyone. He is now recovering at home. The 2020 year end meeting

of the Council will be held virtually on December 29 at 5:30

p.m. for the purpose of closing the town’s books, with meeting

information to be posted on the town’s Facebook page.

ing for a someone to work three hours a day only at lunch. I went thru all my applications and most were all looking for full time or at least 20 hours per week. I found one however, buried at the bottom of a fourinch stack that was only looking for lunch part-time. His name was Nicky. Hadn’t met him but thought I would give him a call and see if he could stop by for an interview. When I called, he wasn’t in but his mom said she would make sure he would be there. At the accorded time, Nicky walked in. One of those moments when my heart went in my throat. Nicky suﬀered from Downs Syndrome. His physical appearance was a giveaway and his speech only reinforced the obvious. I was young and sheltered. Had never interacted on a professional level with a develop-

Financial Focus Are You Still Planning to Retire Early? Have your retirement plans changed because of COVID-19? If so, you have plenty of company. Nearly 40 percent of those planning to retire say the pandemic has disrupted their intentions, according to the Edward Jones/Age Wave Four Pillars of the New Retirement study. You might have been thinking about retiring early – can you still do so? Even without a crisis, it’s not a bad idea to review your important life goals from time to time. So, in thinking about the possibility of early retirement, consider these factors: • Your retirement lifestyle – Your ability to retire early depends somewhat on what sort of lifestyle you’re anticipating during your retirement years. If you think you’ll be traveling extensively or pursuing expensive activities, you might not be able to afford to retire as early as someone with more modest ambitions. Of course, there’s no “right” or “wrong” way of living in retirement – we all have our own dreams and preferences. But be aware that different lifestyles do carry different price tags – and have different effects on when you can retire securely. • Sources of retirement income – Obviously, a key factor in knowing whether you can retire early is the amount of retirement income you can rely on. So, you’ll have to assess all your sources: Social Security, any other pensions you might receive, and your investment portfolio, including your 401(k) and IRA. The amounts you receive from these sources will depend on a variety of factors. For Social Security, the longer you wait until collecting, the larger your monthly payments (although they will “top out” when you reach 70, excluding cost-of-living adjustments). In regard to your investments and retirement accounts, you’ll

need to establish a withdrawal rate that’s appropriate for the length of time you expect to be retired. So, by adjusting these variables – taking Social Security earlier or later, taking more or less money from your retirement accounts – you can help determine if the retirement date you had in mind is viable. • Your feelings about work – Your goals are not static – they can change in response to any number of reasons, both external and personal. When you first decided you wanted to retire early, you might have been motivated by, among other things, a weariness of your current job. But has that changed over time? Have you found new challenges that interest you at work? Or, if you were forced by the pandemic to work remotely, did you actually enjoy the arrangement and want to continue it? After all, many employers have found that their workers can be just as productive working at home, so, even when we’ve gotten past COVID-19, we might see a sizable shift in the geography of the workplace. In any case, if your feelings about work have changed in some way, leading you to think you could work longer than originally planned, you’d likely gain some financial advantages. You’d make more money, for starters, but you’d also keep building your 401(k) and IRA, and you could even possibly delay taking Social Security. The pandemic may lead to a reevaluation of many financial goals – and taking early retirement might be one of them. By thinking carefully about your situation and your options, you can come up with a course of action that’s right for you.

mentally disabled person. I had no clue what to do, so I went ahead and interviewed him. He was a wonderful young man. Great outlook. Task focused. Excited to be alive. For only reasons God knew at that time, I hired him. 3 hours a day, 3 days a week to run a grill. I let the staff know what to expect. Predictably the crew made sure I got the message, “ no one wants to work with a retard.” To this day I find that word offensive. We had a crew meeting, cleared the air, and prepared for his arrival. Nicky showed up for work right on time. He was so excited to be working. He stood at the time clock literally shaking with anticipation. He clocked in and started his training. Couldn’t multi task, but was a machine on the grill. Now for the fascinating part..... Back in that day, there were no computer screens to work from. Every order was called by the cashier. It required a great deal of concentration on the part of all production staff to get the order right. While Nicky was training during his first shift, the sandwich maker next to him asked the grillman/trainer what was on the next sandwich. Nicky replied,”single, no pickle no onion.” A few minutes later it

I believe with every ﬁber of my body that Nicky’s hiring was no accident. God’s timing and will is perfect. This Christmas, I hope we all understand what we are celebrating. We are all like Nicky. We each have our shortcomings. We each have our strong points. But we are all of value. God made us that way and God doesn’t make mistakes. Nicky certainly wasn’t a mistake. He was a valuable gift that I am forever grateful for. We are celebrating the birth of the ONE that leveled the playing ﬁeld for all of us. God doesn’t care if you are rich or poor, republican or democrat or black or white. He doesn’t care if your chromosome structure is perfect. He doesn’t care what level of education you have attained. He cares about your heart. He wants us all to love and appreciate the gift HE gave us on Christmas, His son, the Savior, our salvation. His Son that was born to die for our sins. To pay our debt. To provide us a path for eternity. So this Christmas, lets check our hearts. There is a little bit of Nicky in all of us and I suspect there is a Nicky somewhere in your life that is looking for the chance to be embraced. Thank God for that. Thank God for His perfect gift, Christ Jesus.

happened again. It was then that we discovered Nicky had a hidden and valuable skill. He memorized everything he heard! Photographic hearing! WHAT A SKILL SET. It took 3 days and every sandwich maker requested to work with Nicky. He immediately was accepted by the entire crew. After his shift he would join the rest of his crew family, drinking Coke like it was water! It was then that they discovered another Rainman-esque trait. Nicky was a walking/talking perpetual calendar! With a perpetual calendar as a reference, they would sit for hours asking him what day of the week was December 22, 1847. He never missed. This uncanny trait mesmerized the crew. His mom would come in at 2 to pick him up. More times than not, the crew would be back there with him hamming it up. As I went to get him from the back, his mom said something I will never forget. “Let him stay there as long as he wants. He has never been accepted anywhere like he has been here.” I excused myself and dried my eyes, humbled and broken hearted at the lesson I just learned. Nicky had a profound impact on that store. His presence changed a lot of people. Today

WMI News - WMI’s Artifact Under Exam by Melora Adams Care for the Calf In an article back in November the artifact under exam was the “eight-legged calf.” This important artifact is badly in need of proper repair and conservation. Such care must be performed by qualiﬁed and experienced experts in the ﬁeld of taxidermy conservancy. We found such a place: Gaston’s Wildlife Art Services LLC, in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The Gaston team has mounted and preserved taxidermy specimens for over 65 years. While such work is second to none, it does come at a cost. The estimate for this needed care is from $5,000 to $10,000. We ask New Harmony and all interested persons to consider donating to the “Care for the Calf” cam-

Dean’s List Belmont University Bayleigh Fore of Wadesville and Logan Gordon of Mount Vernon achieved the Dean’s List at Belmont University for the Fall 2020 semester. Eligibility is based on a minimum course load of 12 hours and a quality grade point average of 3.5 with no grade below a C. Approximately 55 percent of Belmont’s students this semester qualiﬁed for the Fall 2020 Dean’s List.

paign. The goal of this campaign is for this unique specimen to remain an important and stable member of our collection so that it can inspire wonder and curiosity for generations to come. The members of the WMI have already contributed $2,000 to the “Care for the Calf” campaign. To give or discuss your tax-

deductible contribution, give us a call here at the WMI (812-6824806) or email the director at director@workingmensinstitute. org. We invite New Harmony’s populace to contribute to this important project for the preservation of this part of the WMI’s history.

drive to win. In addition to his dominance on the football field, he is a leader on the Wildcats wrestling team. The 2019 wrestling semi-state qualifier is currently undefeated in 2020. Ritzert is also a lifter on the Mount Vernon Cheer Team. “My goal as a senior was to be a better student, person and athlete. It always starts in your head...95 percent of people who fail...it comes from their brain first. That’s what has pushed me,” Ritzert said. “I come from a competitive family and I don’t take losing very well. I always try to be my best, the best I can be at all times. Even though it might not seem like it, if I can get over the mental part of what I’m trying to accomplish, then it’s easy from there.” Members of the 2020 3A All-State team (Offense) are: OL Trace Walter, Mishawaka Marian; OL Mitchell Menting, Mishawaka Marian; OL Yvens Reisacher, Jimtown; OL Jack Woodcock, Indianapolis Chatard; OL Aaron Roberts, Indianapolis Ritter; OL Gabe Pirtle, Sullivan; OL Ethan Parris, Lawrenceburg; OL Braden Tucker, Gibson Southern; TE Brayden York, Lawerenceburg; TE Timmy Godsil, Indianapolis Ritter; WR Kam Johnson, Fort Wayne Concordia; WR Thomas Coleman, Indianapolis Chatard; WR Luke Wooten, Danville; WR Reese McCoskey, Salem; QB Maddix Bogunia-Bright, Mishawaka Marian; QB Chase Taylor, Southridge; RB Matthew Coons, Indianapolis Chatard; RB Matt Springer, Southridge; RB Aaron Nevill, North Harrison; RB Ayden Hernandez, River Forest; and K Zachery Johnson, Peru. Members of the 2020 3A All-State team (Defense) are: DL Logan Nahrwold, Fort Wayne Concordia; DL Tristen Hayes, Oak Hill; DL Jake Comer, Danville; DL Antwann Dix, Indianapolis Ritter; DL Brach Carrington, Greencastle; DL Blake Ritzert, Mount Vernon; LB Mark Flores, Calumet; LB Ethan Dutra, Danville; LB Joel Rinkenberger, Norwell; LB Cooper Harris, Fort Wayne Concordia; LB Lucas Hines, Brownstown Central; LB Parker Kippenbrock, Southridge; DB Eli Riley, Norwell; DB Brayden Payne, Fort Wayne Concordia; DB Brady Kinnett, Indianapolis Chatard; DB Danny Rhoad, Guerin Catholic; DB Grant Bell, Sullivan; DB Camden Gasser, Southridge; and PTR Blaze Cano, Hanover Central.

‘Wildcats win’ continued from Page B1 to this point,” Newcomb said. “I also like that we have different guys stepping up each night offensively. I think we have a lot of balance and it makes it more difficult for teams to prepare when you can have multiple guys who are capable scorers. We just have to keep getting better each day and understand what we are doing to put ourselves in a position to be successful as we move forward.” The Wildcats have already tied their 2019 season win total in the first full week of the 2020 season. They will travel to Oakland City to face Wood Memorial on Friday. They host Heritage Hills at home on Saturday. Newcomb knows the weekend will be a challenge, but he said facing tough opponents will be a good opportunity for the Wildcats. “Next week will be a tough week and our first back to back weekend. I always remember loving these weekends as a player because you got to see how tough you were and how well you could execute on a short turnaround,” Newcomb said. “Wood Memorial on the road will be tough for us as that is a tough place to win games and I think we will see some zone that we will have to handle and execute against. I am excited to have the opportunity to go back on the road and try to

get our first win away from home.” Heritage Hills, ranked 2nd in 3A in the December 8 Associated Press poll, looks to be the toughest test for Mount Vernon to date. “Obviously, Saturday night is a huge opportunity for us in the conference against the best that 3A basketball has to offer. Taking care of business early on here in the season, has given us an opportunity to host a big time matchup in the league and I know our kids will be excited and prepared to leave it all on the floor,” Newcomb said. “You can always count on Heritage Hills defending well and they have one of the best players in the state in Blake Sisley. He will present challenges for us defensively and we will have to prepare a game plan that makes things as difficult as possible for him.” Patriots leading scorer Sisley, a 6-9 senior and University of Evansville commit, is averaging 20.5 points and 5 rebounds per game this season. “As always, we are just excited to have the opportunity to compete and get better each day,” Newcomb said. “I am excited about next weekend and am hopeful we can go out and play hard and put ourselves in a spot to have a chance at the end of each night.”

kept working and kept defying odds to where this year we made it to the regional championship. I think this year has taught me more than any other with Covid-19. I know now, looking forward, that things aren’t always for certain and I have to give my best and try my hardest because it could be taken away from me at any given time,” Jackson said. Steinhart and Jackson plan to have an official signing ceremony on December 1, another shared experience after years spent working together. “Going through this process with Brooke has been so meaningful to me because we have been friends since we were little. Growing up with Brooke has given me someone to share my competitiveness and commitment with because we both have similar goals in mind. Brooke has helped to push me to be a better athlete and person while being so supportive along the way,” Steinhart said. “It is more than just our relationship on the court. I know that we will stay in touch with each other over the next few years. I am confident that Brooke will be there for me anytime I need her, as I will do the same.” In addition to Jackson, Steinhart said her family has inspired and motivated her every step of the way. “I have looked up to my two older brothers my whole life. They both work hard on and off the court and they have helped shape me into the person I am today by continually pushing me to become a better athlete and person,” she said. “My parents are the two hardest working individuals I know, and I truly admire that about them. Also, my teammates and coaches

have kept me motivated everyday because I want to exceed their expectations and have them feel confident in me.” Jackson credits her parents, coaches and teammates for inspiring her to be a leader, “not only in sports, but in everything I do.” “My parents have been one of my biggest motivators throughout my volleyball career. They push me to be my best and I wouldn’t have made it this far without them,” Jackson said. “I am proud to have committed and signed to Miami University because I have worked so hard and it has been my biggest goal in life so far. I am proud because I love the coaches and school and for me to make my family proud make it all so much better. My parents have made so many sacrifices for me to make it here and I am proud to be able to give back and earn a scholarship to pay for college,” Jackson said. Mount Vernon Athletic Director Leigh Latshaw said Steinhart and Jackson “exemplify what it means to be #ALLIN in the classroom and on the courts.” “They have been exemplary role models for the youth of our community and we are extremely proud of their accomplishments,” Latshaw said. “The fact that they are both first team All-State at the same time is even more impressive as it is the first time it has been done for MVHS volleyball and quite possibly for any of our sports. It is absolutely fitting, however, that they both received this honor together.

Steinhart will attend Lipscomb University, located in Nashville, Tenn., following graduation from Mount Vernon. The Bison went 1613 in the 2019 season. They went 11-5 in the Atlantic Sun Conference. “Libby has an awesome recruiting story. She came to camp as we were evaluating players and it became evident right away the type of player she was throughout camp. I liked to check back with coaches to see who impressed them and even reached out to our players who were working camp to get their feedback. Libby’s name continued to come up and up and up. Leaving that camp it became evident to me that she was someone we needed to pursue. To make such an impression to both the coaches and players who were working that camp really spoke to me. Almost everyone I spoke with mentioned her name right away,” Brandon Rosenthal, Lipscomb University head coach, said. “Her tenacity and thoroughness is fun to watch. She really knows how to play the game and goes about it with all-out effort all the time. Libby is an absolute tremendous leader, not only with her teams, but also in her school and community. To have that character in someone that is fun to be around is going to bring a level of play to our program that will help right away. She is one of those players that I have no doubt that other players are going to want on their side. She really works hard on every play and is a great communicator. I believe she is really

going to bolster our defense. I can’t say enough about the character of Libby and who she is on and off the court. We are thoroughly excited to have her and have no doubt that she will really do some amazing things for Lipscomb volleyball.” Jackson will attend Miami University, located in Oxford, Ohio. The RedHawks went 17-12 in the 2019 season and 12-4 in the Mid American Conference, but were unable to have a season in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. “An excellent student of the game, Brooke will bring solid skills and attacking power to our line-up,” Miami University Head Coach Carolyn Condit said. “As a six-rotation outside hitter, her will to win and to be her best on the offensive and defensive side of the ball will fit in well with our competitive style of play. Brooke’s quickness and athleticism is evident in every part of her game and she will be an outstanding RedHawk teammate.” Steinhart said she has learned many lessons at Mount Vernon that she will carry with her to the next level. “I have learned to become a leader, both on the court and off the court. I have also learned that when I step on the court, it is time to compete and be focused on volleyball, and when I am off the court, I can focus on my academics. Between these two, I have learned the importance of building relationships with my teammates,” she said. Jackson said volleyball at Mount Vernon has taught her the value of hard work. “We didn’t get super far in volleyball my first three years, but we did not give up. We
