Bid accepted for Tresslar demolition By Lois Mittino Gray Even though Klenck was not the lowest bidder on the demolition of the 1888 Main Street (Tresslar) Building, members of the Mount Vernon Board of Works awarded the project to the Evansville-based company at their December 17, meeting. They took the advice of two engineers who felt the company’s experience doing such complicated projects was important to consider. This is the same company that took down the 155-foot tall concrete silo on the riverfront and more recently, the Mead Johnson building, near the Lloyd Expressway.

Mayor Bill Curtis initiated discussion by stating the three bids received were opened at the last meeting on December 3. From there, they underwent legal and engineering review. All bids submitted met the legal requirements for bidding. Both reviewing engineers, City Engineer Barry Tanner and Joe Vance from Hodge Structural Engineers recommended the city go with Klenck for the project. They cited their experience and their plan for using Sealand containers to keep debris on the site. Klenck Company’s bid was for $335,000. Shroyer Brothers Inc. of Muncie was slightly under at $ 334,780. Board

members expressed concern that Shroyer had 17 jobs listed and all but one were half of the estimated cost of this project. Board member David Dodd agreed with the recommendations of the engineers and added he felt Klenck is the best fit for this project. “They have proven they can handle a job like this with their experience and proven it through documentation,” he observed. Board member Andy Hoehn agreed and added this is a high visibility and high liability project and

By Trisha L. Lopez The New Harmony Town Council voted on a food truck ordinance during its December meeting on Tuesday. After months of discussions and researching neighboring towns’ policies, council members voted 3-1 for an ordinance that would require food truck vendors not part of a festival to purchase $50 permits, limit hours of operation to 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and prohibits vendors from parking on Church or Main streets. The details of the ordinance, namely the per occurrence permit fee and time restrictions, led to several minutes of debate between council members and residents in attendance. “Fees should be $50. I think we need to start looking at all of our fees. We’re not getting enough money to cover our administrators salaries every year. Another thing I think we need to look at is the time. I think between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. is the only time we should allow the trucks,” Councilman Roger Wade said. The town requires a separate festival permit that would cover food truck vendors that are setting up in New Harmony as a part of the festival. If a vendor comes in for a specific event, not associated with a festival, the new ordinance would come into play. “I don’t want to make it too tough,” Councilman Tom Williams said. “We already talked about $25 as a fee originally and now it’s $50.” “Fifty dollars is cheap,” Council President Alvin Blaylock interjected. “As an example, I’ve done some addition. For the first 11 months of the year, the permit application fees brought in $1,945. We paid the zoning administrator $3,300 for those 11 months. It’s not a big deal to lose money. But it is.” Williams pointed out that Evansville’s food truck permit is $25 and covers a vendor for an entire year. He said he thought that $50 per occurrence was too much to ask of potential vendors. “That’s ($25) what we proposed,” he said. Wade argued that if a homeowner had to put two roofs on in the course of a year, “you’re going to have to pay for another permit.” “I know we just got a few restaurants in town and I don’t want to take business from them for somebody out of Evansville that comes down here and takes their business. I’ve got to look out for these guys. These guys have been here for years,” Wade explained. Williams countered that food trucks could bring in extra traffic which could generate more revenue for New Harmony business in the long run. “A lot of people would say the more the merrier,” Williams said. “If you create more activity, you get more people. More people go into those two or three restaurants that we have because there is more activity in town. Just like events. Sometimes an eatery in town doesn’t benefit from the Kunstfest, but they get

Randall decides to keep talent in area Young teacher takes advantage of ‘teachable event’

Abby Randall

(USPS 439-500)

By Lois Mittino Gray With all the hoopla over the recent presidential election, novice teacher Abby Randall took advantage of a ‘teachable moment’ and decided to conduct her own election in her third grade classroom at Farmersville Elementary School. Which cookie is better---chocolate chip or Oreo? The Social Studies lesson began with all 18 of her students registering to vote several days before the event. On the actual Election Day, they had to show their registration card and print and sign their name in the big book before dropping a ballot in the box. Posey County Clerk Kay Kilgore gave Abby some of the “I Voted” stickers that she gives to the citizenry and Abby’s students wore them with pride. So, which cookie won that day? “Hands down, the chocolate chip won

by a lot. Poor Oreo had only one vote,” she said with a laugh. Miss Randall loves teaching at the school that she attended in her early years. “Now I’m a teacher there and I love being with my students every day,” she reflected. “I did my student teaching at Farmersville and I was fortunate when they had an opening there to get it.” A member of the Mount Vernon High School Class of 2015, Abby went on to get her Elementary Education degree, with a minor in science, from the University of Southern Indiana in December of 2018. Since it was the middle of the school year, she took a position as a long-term sub at West Elementary School filling in for a teacher on maternity leave. She was hired for her first full year in the Fall of 2019 at Farmersville to teach twenty first grad-

ers. Unfortunately, it never was a full year. “I never did get to complete the entire year of school. Our last in-class day was March 13. At ﬁrst, we prepared paper packets for the students to take home for two weeks. Then the closure was extended and we had to do another two week packet in reading and math. We expected to go back and then we found out we would not go back at all. I had to say goodbye to the very ﬁrst class I ever taught in a Zoom meeting. It was very odd and sad,” she recalled. “It is so much better to see my third graders live and in person now. I realize we could go virtual again if necessary. All my students have Chromebooks and know how to use Google Classroom. I enjoy being in the actual classroom and feel very safe with them,” Miss Randall remarked. She explained

the children take many safety precautions and wash their hands and sanitize their desks often. “The kids are pretty good about wearing masks. I can take mine oﬀ when we are six feet apart, but that is infrequent, so I wear my mask just about all day long. It was hot at ﬁrst at the beginning of the year, but I am used to it now. The hardest part was getting to know all the voices behind the masks. I’d have to say who just asked that question?” Abby is the daughter of Mike and Nancy Randall and lives with them in their Mount Vernon home. She plans to get an apartment sometime next year. Her sister, Megan Dick, just got married in August and lives in the St. Philips area. “It’s great to work so close to home at a place that was so important to my early life,” she noted.

Faith will overcome fear

Brave, h a r d B B working, C resilient, determined, creative, bold, and faithful are words I would correlate with the history of America, the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Freedom of speech, press, and to peaceably assemble set our country apart from much of the world. Fastforward to today and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obvious a disease has gripped our beloved nation. I am not talking about the plague that dominates daily conversation. I am referring to fear. Fear of oďŹ&#x20AC;ending people has led to the tolerance of unreasonable actions. Politically correct culture has quenched common sense. Personal comforts detour people from speaking up against injustice. I have tried to make sense of this year and the ever-changing landscape it has produced. Unrest in the streets, quarantines, mandates, division, and the demand for daily updates has caused mistrust and misinformation. Some activities are deemed essential and others too dangerous. Big corporations were considered essential, while small business and churches were told no. The year 2020 will be known as the year that took away things we take for granted. People are afraid to hug their relatives, send their children to school, and go to church to worship Jesus with their fellow Christian brothers and sisters. This year has threatened to take away the American way of life. The mainstream media has led the country to believe they must give up individual freedoms in exchange for perceived safety. I was asked to go out and fellowship with some of the men from my church back in February. I almost did not go, but my wife told me I needed to get out and spend some time with the guys. We ate Mexican food, told old stories, laughed at each other and just appreciated each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company. I did not know this would be the last big gathering, in public, and without masks that I would enjoy for an indeďŹ nite period. How did we get here and how do we move forward? The liberal left complained and skewed the mainstream media so far that decent people were made to feel like they had to apologize for holding

On the ďŹ rst Christmas Mary and Joseph had traveled to Bethlehem to pay their taxes. They were among a multitude of other people who were making the same trip for the same reason. The Bible says there was no room for them in the Inn. They found refuge in a stable and in the night, Mary delivered her baby. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a cowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trough. Soon Shepherds watching their sheep in the ďŹ elds were alerted by a heavenly host of angels about the special baby who had been born. They quickly made hast to celebrate and worship the new baby Jesus. Eventually in the Bible story Wise men from the East traveled a long distance to see the new child. They brought with them gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh and worshipped him. When you read the ďŹ rst couple of chapters of Matthew and Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gospels you learn Christmas is about Jesus. You also learn he was loved, held in the arms of his mother, adored by the shepherds and worshiped by wise astrologers who went to great effort and time to visit him This Christmas we should all once again embrace the baby Jesus and celebrate his deity and mission to bring love and peace to our hearts. We need his love and peace. We need his joy to the world. Even in the hardest times of life people have found the joy of Jesus at Christmas time. Often the simplest things have a way of bringing the most joy. A baby in a manger. Peasant shepherds dropping by to say hello. Strangers visiting

God-fearing conservative view points. This led to an election that was far from straight forward and transparent. The media held oďŹ&#x20AC; calling many states for Trump, but had no problems calling states early in the night for his democratic opponent with low percentages of votes reported. The media began saying they had called the election after sketchy ballot dumps in the middle of the night. I noticed a Fox News reporter seemed totally baďŹ&#x201E;ed when a citizen challenged the mainstream news declaration. I remember the news lady looking at her coworker and saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We called it, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening.â&#x20AC;? She knew the public did not buy it. I think it was at that moment the mainstream news knew they had been caught. People dislike Donald Trump because he does not go along with the status quo. If you attack him, he will punch back and he will not apologize. The mainstream media makes accusations, treats him unfairly, and has lost all respect for the position of President of the United States of America. The democrat candidate has come out of his basement, began picking cabinet members, and started talking about unity. After four years of name calling, shaming, and doubting the legitimacy of the presidency, now the democrat candidate wants to talk about unity. I can appreciate unity, but not after someone blatantly steals from the people and suggests they will impose socialism. America fought for itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s independence and has dealt with much adversity along the way. We have suďŹ&#x20AC;ered some black eyes over the years, but we stand our ground and do not cower in the face of evil. America was built with calloused hands, paid for by a bloody Revolutionary War, the sweat of families pulling together in tough times, and the tears from hard working people looking for a better life and a free place to worship God. Somewhere along the way, America began building sandcastle dreams while being blind to the incoming tide. A nation of patriots constructed a unique constitution that would become the envy of the world. People risk life and limb to come to America, leaving behind dictatorships, socialism, and communism. We have to understand what is going on and stand up for the country that we love. If you ďŹ ght hard and lose a fair contest, then you go back to the drawing board. You support your

country. You pray for your leaders. You hold people accountable and you learn from defeat. However, this election does not add up to an honest defeat. This whole year seems like a bad dream. How does a democratic candidate that draws the smallest of crowds collect 80 million votes? Are people really more excited about Biden 2020 than Obama 2008 (69 million)? How did Trump gain 12 million votes after defeating Hillary in 2016 and not decisively win in 2020? I understand the popular vote does not call the winner of an election, but then again, neither does the main stream media. A handful of swing states seemed to matter the most. They usually do matter the most. Voter fraud, system fraud, mailin-ballots, information suppression, social media censorship, midnight counting, and claims of pipes bursting to stop counts are on the forefront of conversation. This has the feel of a condescending adult trying to lecture an educated person using arguments that are void of logic. Like in school, you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just say x=5. The teacher demanded that you show your work. This was to prove the student knew how to arrive at the correct answer and there was no foul play. Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personality can be abrasive to some folks. He is mighty proud of himself and he is not afraid to boast. I can see where he would rub some people the wrong way. People judge his actions, words, and his past in support of their narrative without really looking in the mirror. I try to step back and listen to rational people from both sides of the aisle. I listened as a life long democrat bad-mouthed Trump for four years. She echoed the words and talking points from programs on television. This lady witnessed the dramatic shift of the left. She stepped back and she could not recognize who her party had become. She cashed out her retirement savings with a smile

and a quiet acknowledgement that this president really improved the economy. She admitted that he did some good things and that it would not be a bad thing if he were president for another four years. She grumbled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like him, but he has done a good job.â&#x20AC;? You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to like your president, but you should respect the position. The Bible calls on us to pray for our leaders. Every American should want to watch America succeed. If you want to see our president fail, then you, yourself want America to fail. There were presidents I did not prefer, but I did not want to see them fail our country. I am reminded of John Chapter 19 when Pilate looked at Jesus and claimed he had the power to crucify Him or release Him. Jesus answered, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.â&#x20AC;? There is one who is not surprised by 2020 or anything that has happened. There is one who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. There is one who is omnipresent. The heavens are higher than the earth, so our His ways and thoughts higher than ours. The plague, the election, and every other situation in the world did not happen independently of God. We need to pray that His will be done and trust in Him ďŹ rst of all. Read your Bible to know His heart and character. Second, question the â&#x20AC;&#x153;newsâ&#x20AC;? you get from social media and mainstream. Learn to read between the lines in politics, while doing independent research. Just because someone uses vocabulary that you relate with, does not mean they have your best intentions at heart. There are many wolves in sheepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live in constant fear. Without Faith it is impossible to please God. At some point, your Faith has to overcome your fear.

later to bring some gifts. The people of Christmas are those who are the players of Christmas. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay that much attention to the sheep of Christmas, the donkeys or the camels. The people are what make Christmas special. There would not be a Christmas story without the baby, Mary and Joseph. Who are the people in your Christmas story? Growing up it was Mama Mollette, Mama Hinkle and Grandpa Hinkle, uncles and aunts, ďŹ rst cousins. Parents Walt and Eula Mollette, sisters and brothers and their children. Later my church families became very signiďŹ cantly involved in my Christmas story. Today there are new faces of extended family, their spouses and now grandchildren. The landscape has dramatically changed. Years ago, I never imagined Christmas would change so much. Most of the people who I once celebrated Christmas with have passed on or live somewhere else. The people you and I celebrate Christmas with this year will soon pass on or relocate to live somewhere else. The point is this, embrace your Christmas while you can. Embrace your people while you can. The people in your life are your Christmas. Christmas gifts, trees and decorations are all nice and fun. However, give love, and as safely as you can because of Covid-19, celebrate each other this year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always the people of Christmas who make up the Christmas story. While our celebrations this year may be remotely, use your telephone, computers and whatever means you have to connect with your most precious gifts of Christmas - the people in your life.

Letter to the Editor Proud son recognizes fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplishments The December Posey County Council meeting marks the end of an era. Bob Gentil has served the people of Posey County for 20 years. To say that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of him or proud to be his son is an understatement. Not only has he provided a great example for future public servants to follow he has left a positive mark with those who have interacted with him on various county business. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begin to list the people who come up to me and gladly give a positive story of an interaction theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had with my dad or praise they give him for his work on a committee. The thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m most proud about my dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service history is a timely message for all of us right nowâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;Śits not been about party politics

its been about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for the citizens of Posey County. Yes heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Democrat and yes Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a Republican but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got tons of stories from people from both parties who have appreciated my dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s willingness to listen, be truthful, be respectful, and make fair decisions all while keeping a watchful protective eye out for the ďŹ nances of the taxpayers. Dad has set a very high example of servant leadership...One I hope his grandchildren and those servant leaders who follow in the future strive to emulate. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of you dad, thank you for your service, now go enjoy your retirement. GeoďŹ&#x20AC; Gentil

that have occurred all over America. Some of these celebrations are connected to various religious faiths. In the United States Amendment I to our Constitution protects such practices. But we also have many secular celebrations emphasizing hope, peace, reconciliation and our shared cultural histories. While I have enjoyed many such events in numerous places over the years, I was particularly struck by the Christmas Parade in Pawhuska, Osage County, Oklahoma this past week. Its theme evoked all that is good about community pride and gave evidence of conďŹ dence that 2021 will erase the angst of 2020. The Christmas parade of December 5, 2020 was sponsored by the Pawhuska Chamber of Commerce and was led by its Executive Director Joni Nash on horseback. The parade celebrated the rich history of the Osage Nation as well as the service of military veterans. The live-streamed event featured Osage Princess Fiona Armede Red Eagle and four Osage Chiefs as Parade Marshals: James Roan Gray, Scott Bighorse, John D. Red Eagle and Geoffrey Standing Bear. As each Chief was introduced various accomplishments of the Chief

and the Osage Tribe were entertainingly and informatively described by volunteer announcers Debbie and Ron Reed. It was an impressive and extensive list of achievements. And it felt right to have those accomplishments included as proof that the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; visions for the tribe and the whole Osage County community were ďŹ rmly embedded in a rich history with plans for a bright future. I did note that Debbie appeared to be attempting to distance herself from Ronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clark Griswold type tie. Regardless, if you would like to view the parade, type the following address in your Internet browser: https://www.facebook.com/ pawhuskachamber/videos/410220680426431/ Such celebrations of the American spirit whenever and wherever they take place are welcome and interesting. But particularly this year, while the planets align as we are exiting the dark side of 2020, it helps to look back at good times in the past and to plan conďŹ dently for better times in the future.

A Season Of Hope

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Last night about 7 p.m. Peg excitedly called for me to join her outside as the dark gray sky gave way to a sliver of moon accompanied by Jupiter and Saturn nearing a point of conjunction, the same phenomenon that occurred about 2,000 years ago. It feels good to anticipate the completion of the astronomical wonder that will occur on December 21, the winter solstice. Perhaps we can consider the return of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christmas Starâ&#x20AC;? as a harbinger of a better year to come as this painful year of 2020 begins to recede. That is the traditional interpretation of the Christmas Story, overcoming current adversity and hoping for a brighter future. But many people are not just looking to the stars and dreaming about deliverance. There has been a world-wide eďŹ&#x20AC;ort to achieve eďŹ&#x20AC;ective treatments and prevention of COVID-19. The marvel of the creation of several eďŹ&#x192;cacious vaccines in less than one year is unprecedented. It is a true Christmas type story brought

about by the hard work of countless scientists, governmental leaders, workers and volunteers in several countries. When one thinks that the ďŹ rst reported case of polio was before the beginning of the 20th century and that it took over half of that century to develop a polio vaccine, we can appreciate what has been accomplished with the Corona Virus in less than one year. And it is not just those people who have been directly aďŹ&#x20AC;ected by COVID-19 and those who have been directly involved in the battle to defeat it that have exhibited strength of character during 2020. Life has gone on. People have continued to do their jobs and care for others in the face of fear and restrictions. It is truly heroic that as we have endured over 300,000 deaths from COVID-19, groceries get delivered, utilities remain on, governmental services continue, trash gets picked up, etc., etc., etc. The Christmas spirit triumphs. Thank you to all who have refused to succumb to despair and who have put self-sacriďŹ ce over fear to provide for others. Other signs of the season and the spirit of goodwill among people are the celebrations P / E D P

WMI News - WMI’s Artifact Under Exam by Marlene Huffaker “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.” It is a phrase we have all heard and maybe have even used ourselves. Today we are very aware of climate change, but did you know New Harmony’s Owenite community diligently kept track of weather trends? The Working Men’s Institute has an unusual artifact that testifies to their interest in maintaining weather records. A cast iron rain gauge on display at the WMI is one of three identical weather instruments in simultaneous use during the 19th century. It has a capacity of five inches of rainfall. A graduated steel measuring stick was used to measure the collected rainfall accurately. The gauge shows some wear, which leads one to suspect it may have been in service for quite some time. At first glance, one might mistake the rain gauge for an outdoor decorative container for flowers. Its original detailed, steel measuring tool is now replaced with an unmarked wooden rod. By early 1826 daily weather observations were published in The New Harmony Gazette regularly. With the addition of this

new tool, rainfall amounts were added to reports of temperatures, wind direction and speed and other weather notes. According to an article written by Stedman Whitwell in the May 17, 1826, issue of The New Harmony Gazette, the rain gauge “was ﬁxed in the latter part of March . . .” had been “constructed under the friendly care of Mr. William Elliot of Washington City [Washington, D.C.], and is an exact copy of the one procured from London for the use of the Columbian Institute. By this uniformity in the instrument the comparative quantities of rain which fall at New Harmony, Washington and London may be accurately observed.” Early weather observers/recorders here were David Dale Owen, Stedman Whitwell, Gerard Troost and John Chappelsmith. Some of New Harmony’s secrets are still mysteries today, but apparently this rain gauge connected New Harmony’s weather recorders with those in Washington, D.C., and London. Whitwell writes of the role of William Elliot in the gauge’s construction. Elliot was a member of the Colum-

bian Institute for the Promotion of Arts and Sciences in Washington, D.C. Of the observers mentioned in the 1826 Gazette article, Whitwell, was an architect and collaborator of Robert Owen, who published The New Harmony Gazette at the time. John Chappelsmith later reported daily weather conditions for the Smithsonian Institution and published his Account of a Tornado near New Harmony commissioned by the Smithsonian Meteorological Project in 1852, when study of tornadoes was a new science. David Dale Owen and Gerard Troost were well-known geologists and surveyors of early American land. That all these, with their varied backgrounds, were connected by this rain gauge, provides a picture of its importance to New Harmony’s history of hands-on science and their collaboration with scientists worldwide. In 2006 a retired meteorologist from the US Government’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, NC, and self-described weather historian contacted and visited WMI when he discovered information in “oﬃcial station ﬁles” that noted New Harmony’s rain gauge and

Vikings lose to Lady Panthers By Chris Morlan The North Posey girls’ basketball team played on the Westside of Evansville last Monday night against the Evansville Reitz Lady Panthers. North Posey is still searching for their first win of the season. Reitz jumped out early on North Posey and did not allow the Lady Vikings to stay in this game. Reitz defeated North Posey 56-36. Ashton Elpers led the Lady Vikings in scoring with 14 points. Claire Koester finished the game with six points. Reitz had three players score in double figures.

By Trisha L. Lopez The Wildcats wrestling team picked up another PAC win on Wednesday, defeating conference foe Southridge 55-18 at home to improve to 14-4 on the season going into Christmas break. “I am very pleased with the way we wrestled Wednesday night and the way we’ve been competing as a whole,” Mount Vernon Head Coach Tim Alcorn said. “Our toughness level has gotten better and you can see the fight in our kids.” The Wildcats started the night down 9-0 after dropping two matches to the Raiders, but rallied as a team, losing only one match the rest of the evening. Chris Newman, Matthias Gates, Derek Hollinger, Brady Hook, Dalton Schmidt, Blake Ritzert, Hunter Elderkin, Hayden Huss, Zack Bulkley and Mason Suits won matches for the Wildcats. Alcorn said his team is in “in the best place we can be” going into the team state meet. He said they have dealt with very limited injuries and not had a lot of issues with quarantines. “Some teams are having a very different season than us,” Alcorn said. “We still have a list of things to improve on, but this team was too soft at the beginning of the season. I am excited for our team to go to Mater Dei and Team State,” he said. Mount Vernon will travel to Evansville Mater Dei on Tuesday, December 29 and Wednesday, December 30 for the 37th Annual Mater Dei Holiday Classic. In 2019, 20 teams from Indiana Tennessee and Kentucky competed in the tournament. The Wildcats will compete at the IWCA Team State meet on Saturday, January 2. During last weekend, Mount Vernon hosted the Pocket Athletic Conference duals on Friday and Saturday. Teams from North Posey, Gibson Southern, Boonville, Heritage Hills, South Spencer, Washington, Princeton, Tecumseh, Southridge and Pike Central competed in head to head matchups during the two-day event. The host Wildcats went 7-1 on the weekend, their lone loss coming to county rival North Posey. “The coaching staff is very proud of our effort this weekend. We had one meet that got away from us, the rest of them we did exactly what we came to do,” Mount Vernon Head Coach Tim

Alcorn said. “Our goal was to put pressure on our opponents and not give them any room to breathe. We did a great job of being aggressive and we saw every wrestler get better throughout the weekend. We didn’t allow ourselves to get caught up or upset and that was something we focused on this week in practice. A lot of our kids set themselves up very well for the seeding meeting for the conference meet.” The Wildcats defeated South Spencer, 66-12; Boonville, 53-9; Princeton, 72-3; Pike Central, 70-3; Gibson Southern 62-6; Washington, 6618; and Tecumseh, 66-9. The North Posey matchup was a back and forth battle. Senior Blake Ritzert dominated, winning by pin 24 seconds into the first round. Other Wildcat wins came from Chris Newman (15-2), Colton Lippe(15-1), Brady Hook (14-6), Derek Hollinger (pin) and Hayden Huss (4-0). It wasn’t enough to edge out the Vikings though, who took the team win, 42-27. Individual records for the weekend were: freshmen Zack Bulkey, 7-1 and Mason Suits, 7-1; sophomore Jarrett Dye, 6-2; juniors Nolan Fisher, 7-0, Chris Newman, 8-0, Matthias Gates, 5-1, and Colton Lippe, 4-0; sophomore Ethan Yarber, 4-2; juniors Derek Hollinger, 6-1 and Brady Hook, 8-0; seniors Dalton Schmidt, 7-1 and Blake Ritzert, 8-0; and junior Hayden Huss, 5-3. “Our undefeated wrestlers (Newman, Ritzert, Hook, Fisher and Lippe) had very dominant weekends,” Alcorn said. “I was very impressed with the progression we saw in young guys like Zack Bulkley and Mason Suits. They have improved by leaps and bounds since day one.” Alcorn said Suits’ pin against a 2019 Pike Central semi state qualifier was a highlight. “He was beating him 13-0 at the time so the win was no fluke,” Alcorn said. “Very impressive the whole match.” Alcorn set a new Mount Vernon High School record for career coaching wins during the weekend, surpassing the former record of 168 wins set by Mount Vernon Principal Kyle Jones.

Lady Wildcats have tough final week before Christmas By Trisha L. Lopez The Lady Wildcats basketball team had a rough week against state ranked Evansville Mater Dei and Evansville Memorial, picking up its first two losses of the season to fall to 5-2 on the season and 4-0 in the PAC. Mount Vernon fell to the 2A 12th ranked Wildcats on the road, 49-35 on Tuesday. Mount Vernon struggled offensively, putting up just two points in the first quarter and eight in the second. “We knew that Mater Dei would be a very aggressive and physical game. Mater Dei has an athletic group of girls and has been off to a great start this season. Unfortunately, the first half did not go as planned. Honestly, it seemed like everything that could go wrong, did,” Wildcats Head Coach Kendra Steinhart said. Steinhart said her team was able to “regroup and strategize” at the half, but they struggled to score as a team. Mount Vernon scored 17 of its total 35 points from the free throw line. Senior Paige Robinson led the Lady Wildcats with 23 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. “Robinson had an impressive game scoring 23 points, but against a team like Mater Dei, you will need more than one person contributing to consistently win,” Steinhart said. Senior Libby Steinhart was second in scoring with 6 points, 3

rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. Sophomore Mallory Nurrenbern had 3 points and 8 rebounds. “Mallory Nurrenbern consistently improves and is extremely athletic,” Steinhart said. “I am confident that she will develop into a tremendous leader for our team. Steinhart said her team’s defense was “what we needed it to be.” She said she was very impressed with senior Catherine Batteiger’s work defensively. Batteiger had 1 point, 6 rebounds and 1 steal. “We will need her to continue to be a defensive threat,” Steinhart said. The Wildcats faced a steep challenge against 3A 3rd ranked Evansville Memorial at home on Saturday. Playing without leading scorer and rebounder Brooke Jackson due to an undisclosed injury suffered during the game against Mater Dei, Mount Vernon struggled to move the ball up the court against the Tiger’s aggressive press. Memorial scored first, but fouled Nurrenbern who hit a free throw to put the Wildcats on the board, 2-1. Libby Steinhart hit a layup shortly after to put Mount Vernon on top 3-2. The Lady Tigers scored again, but a Batteiger free throw and a three by Steinhart gave the home team a 7-4 lead. Evansville Memorial answered with a three of its own to tie the game with 3 minutes remaining in the first quarter. They hit another three to pull ahead 10-7. Nurrenbern scored just before the end of the quarter to bring the Lady Wildcats within a point, 10-9. “We came out to a great start against Memorial, holding them to 10 points in the first quarter. Memorial is a well-coached, ath-

letic and experienced team. They are deep in that they are able to substitute five girls in and not miss a beat,” Coach Steinhart said. “Ultimately, they are able to keep fresh and their press wore on us throughout the game.” Turnovers plagued the Wildcats throughout the night, leading to a big second quarter for Evansville Memorial, who outscored Mount Vernon 22-4 in the quarter. Sophomore Lera Wilson scored the first points, two free throws, of the second quarter for the Wildcats with just one minute remaining. Libby Steinhart added two more free throws before the end of the half. The Lady Tigers took a 32-13 lead into the break. Evansville Memorial pulled away in the second half scoring 18 points in the third and fourth quarters to take the win, 68-37. Steinhart led the Wildcats with 13 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. Wilson had 5 points, 8 rebounds and 3 steals. Robinson had 5 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals. Nurrenbern had 5 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block. Schroeder had 4 points and 8 rebounds. Batteiger had 1 point and 3 rebounds. Sophomore Bailey Cox had 3 points and freshman Cora Bell had one point. “This week we played great competition. Although the outcomes were not what we hoped for, both games gave us a great look at where we are and where we want to be at tournament time,” Coach Steinhart said. “I am very happy with my team’s start this season. We have a great group of girls that make each day fun and enjoyable. I appreciate how hard they work and their drive to improve.”

By Lois Mittino Gray Imagine getting a Christmas gift this year of over ten thousand dollars! Wouldn’t it be fun to spend that check? Mount Vernon High School Principal Kyle Jones will get just that opportunity to spend it at his discretion. Now in its 26th year, the Wildcats Remembered Fund has reached a milestone of surpassing ten thousand dollars in its annual interest check. The annual check has grown from a modest $104.23 in 1995 to a generous $10,849.06 this year. It was $9,861 last year. Wildcats Remembered, an alumni/enhancement program, was founded by Don Goerlitz, former MVHS principal, and his wife, CeCe upon his retirement in 1994 after 24 years in the position. Knowing how difficult it could be to find money for special student activities, he and his wife wanted to leave a legacy behind to endow funds for future principals to have money readily on hand for special projects. The couple established this unique fund of the Posey County Community Foundation with an initial gift of $1,000. The first annual check presented to the high school in 1995 was for $104.23. Due to the dedication and support of MVHS alumni and friends, the Wildcats Remembered Fund has grown to a whopping balance, as of June 30, 2020, of $342,170.54. This money generates the annual interest check. “Mr. Goerlitz is so very excited that the fund's annual donation has hit a milestone over $10,000 this year!” enthused Mary Buchanan, the organization’s liaison and newsletter editor. “By continuing to increase the endowment, the annual disbursements are valuable resources to strengthen Kyle Jones, Principal of Mt. Vernon High School and MSD of Mt Vernon Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Matthew Thompson, flanks MVHS Senior Faith Delancy and Sophomore Haley Rutledge while accepting the Wildcats Remembered Fund’s annual donation for 2020 in the amount of $10,849.06.

the budget to ensure life-long learning experiences for our high school students.” The Wildcats Remembered endowment grows through memberships and memorials for former classmates and loved ones. Basic annual membership fees are $15.00. Principal Jones extends his appreciation to all former Wildcats who support the Wildcats Remembered Fund on an annual basis. “Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat!” Jones commented. The MVHS Principal is responsible for allotting these funds for convocations, student leadership development programs, participation fees for students in academic and club competitions, student conferences, workshops, as well as, the purchase of specially selected equipment, and other suitable projects. Mr. Jones said last year’s funds were spent primarily on a banquet honoring the top ten graduating students and travel expenses to participate in academic competitions. Jones will be working with students and staﬀ to determine how the funds will be spent this year. “With the pandemic, there have been fewer academic competitions that require actual travel to a location and we are restricted about gathering for banquets. We are looking for safe ways to still reward and celebrate our top ten students.” If you would like more information on the project or to become a part the Wildcats Remembered community to support current MVHS students, please contact Mary Key Buchanan, Class of ’74, at Wildcats Remembered, PO Box 120, Mount Vernon, Indiana, 47620.

Long ago, about 2000 years, when King Herod ruled Judea (now part of Israel), God sent the angel Gabriel to a young woman who lived in the northern town of Nazareth. The girl’s name was Mary and she was engaged to marry Joseph.

GABRIEL VISITING MARY

NEW HARMONY MARATHON

The angel Gabriel said to Mary: ‘Peace be with you! God has blessed you and is pleased with you.’ Mary was very surprised by this and wondered what the angel meant. The angel said to her ‘Don’t be afraid, God has been very kind to you. You will become pregnant by the Holy Spirit and give birth to a baby boy and you will call him Jesus. He will be God’s own Son and his kingdom will never end.’ Mary was very afraid but she trusted God. ‘Let it happen as God chooses.’ she replied to the angel. Gabriel also told Mary that her cousin, Elizabeth who everyone thought was too old to have children, would have a baby boy whom God had chosen to prepare the way for Jesus. Mary said goodbye to her family and friends and went to visit her cousin Elizabeth and her husband Zechariah. Elizabeth was very happy to see Mary. She knew that Mary had been chosen by God to be the mother of his Son. An angel had already told Zechariah that Elizabeth’s baby would prepare people to welcome Jesus. He was to be called John. Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and then returned home to Nazareth.

Joseph was worried when he found out that Mary was expecting a baby before their marriage had taken place. He wondered if he should put oﬀ the wedding altogether. Then an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and said: ‘Don’t be afraid to have Mary as your wife.’ The angel explained that Mary had been chosen by God to be the mother of his Son and told Joseph that the baby would be named Jesus which means ‘Saviour’ because he would save people. When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel had told him to do and took Mary as his wife. At this time, the land where Mary and Joseph lived was part of the Roman Empire. The Roman Emperor Augustus wanted to have a list of all the people in the empire, to make sure they paid their taxes. He ordered everyone to return to the town where their families originally came from, and enter their names in a register (or census) there. Mary and Joseph traveled a long way (about 70 miles) from Nazareth to Bethlehem, because that is where Joseph’s family came from. Most people walked but some lucky people had a donkey to help carry the goods needed for the journey. Joseph and Mary traveled very slowly because Mary’s baby was due to be born soon.

JOSEPH, MARY AND BABY JESUS When they reached Bethlehem they had problems finding somewhere to stay. So many people had come to register their names in the census, that every house was full and every bed was taken in all of the guest rooms. The only place to stay that they could find was with the animals. People often kept animals in the house, especially at night, and used them like ‘central heating’! People normally slept on a raised/upper level with the animals below to give them extra warmth. So in the place where the animals slept, Mary gave birth to Jesus, the Son of God. In those days it was the custom to wrap newborn babies tightly in a long cloth called ‘swaddling clothes’. Jesus’ bed was the manger that the animals ate their hay from. In the hills and fields outside Bethlehem, shepherds looked after their sheep through the long night. As the new day began, suddenly an angel appeared before them and the glory of God shone around them. The shepherds were very, very scared, but the angel said, ‘Don’t be afraid. I have good news for you and everyone. Today in Bethlehem a Saviour has been

THE SHEPHERDS BEING VISITED BY AN ANGEL Then many more angels appeared, lighting up the sky. The shepherds heard them praising God singing: ‘Glory to God in highest, and peace to everyone on earth.’ When the angels had gone the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let’s go to Bethlehem to see what has happened.’ So the shepherds went to Bethlehem and found Mary and Joseph. The baby Jesus was lying in a manger as they had been told. When they saw him, they told everyone what the angel had said and everyone who heard the story were astonished. Then the shepherds returned to their sheep, praising God for sending his Son to be their Saviour. When Jesus was born, a brand new bright star appeared in sky. Some Wise Men in faraway countries saw the star and guessed what it meant. They were very clever men that studied the stars and had read in very old writings that a new star would appear when a great king was born. They set out to ﬁnd the new king and bring him gifts. The Wise Men followed the star towards the country of Judea and when they got to the capital called Jerusalem they began to ask people: ‘Where is the child who is born to be king of the Jews?’ Herod, the king of Judea, heard this and it made him very angry to think that someone might be going to take his place as king. Herod sent for the Wise Men to come to him. He told them to go on following the star until they had found the baby king. He said: ‘When you have found him, let me know where he is, so that I can go and worship him.’. But Herod did not tell them that he really had an evil plan in mind to kill the new king.

THE WISEMEN VISITING BABY JESUS The Wise Men followed the star towards Bethlehem (where it said that the king would be born in the old writings). It seemed to stop and shine directly down upon the place where Jesus was. The Wise Men entered the house where they now lived and found Jesus with Mary, they bowed down and worshipped him. The Wise Men spread the the gifts they had brought before Jesus. The gifts were gold, frankincense and myrrh. The Wise Men were warned in a dream, by God, not to go back to Herod. So they returned home to their countries in the East by a diﬀerent way.

MARY, JESUS AND JOSEPH IN EGYPT When the Wise Men had gone, an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream. ‘Get up,’ the angel said, ‘take Jesus and Mary and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for Jesus to kill him.’ So Joseph got up, took Jesus and Mary during the night they left for Egypt, where he stayed until Herod died. When Herod realized that he had been tricked by the Wise Men, he was furious and he gave orders to kill all the boys aged two or younger in Bethlehem and the surrounding area. This was to try and kill the new King, as his plan to ﬁnd the location of the new king from the Wise Men had failed. After Herod had died, Joseph had another dream in which an angel appeared to him. The angel said, ‘Get up, take Jesus and Mary and go back to Israel, for those who were trying kill Jesus are dead.’ So Joseph got up, took Jesus and Mary and they went back to Israel. But when he heard that Herod’s son was now king of Judea, he was afraid to go there. So instead they went to Galilee, and lived in their old town of Nazareth.

The story of Mulzer Crushed Stone is very much the story of success. It started in 1935 when Roland, Edgar and Arnold Mulzer, Sr. began building culverts for highway construction. In 1946, the Mulzer brothers saw the need for a close supply of construction aggregates during the post World War II construction boom. To help fulfill that need, the Mulzers opened their first limestone quarry at Eckerty, Indiana, and delivered on their first contract…1,500 tons. The Mulzer family has been delivering quality aggregate products ever since.
