By Pam Robinson Poseyville Marshal Doug Saltzman has confirmed several break-ins occurred in unlocked vehicles Sunday night and into the wee hours on Monday morning, Jan. 27 and 28, 2013. He said the thefts happened in several northern Posey County towns during this period of time. He cited Poseyville, New Harmony and St. Wendel’s A.J. and Midway drives as targets for the crimes. Among the items stolen were GPS’s, computers and loose change.

Saltzman said evidence indicates at least two people were involved, but he has no vehicle descriptions.

He added that he is taking reports and waiting for something “to pop” that can be used to further the investigation.

In another conversation, Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth reminded residents that these were “crimes of opportunity” where individuals took advantage of unlocked cars.

“As I tell everyone when I speak at civic organizations,” Oeth said, Honored as Mount Vernon High School basketball homecoming “Don’t make yourself a victim.

Special Olympics game to be played at Mount Vernon JHS

By Pam Robinson After their teams played to a crowd of over 100 basketball fans at Griffin Gymnasium on Monday, Jan. 28, the Posey County Special Olympics is moving tonight’s game between the teams of Mount Vernon and North Posey to Mount Vernon Junior High School at 6 p.m.

(The game had previously been scheduled at West Elementary in Mount Vernon.) Admission is free.

North Posey Special Olympics liaison, Liz Mumford, said the teams, composed of players age 8 and up, are excited about tonight’s third game of the season. Before the game at Griffin, the Mount Vernon and North Posey teams had combined to kick off their season at Evansville’s Mulberry Center with a game against Vanderburgh County’s Special Olympics basketball team.

Once again, the Mount Vernon and North Posey Special Olympics teams will combine next Tuesday, Feb. 12, when they storm the court at North Posey High School in their last game of the season against Warrick County Special Olympians.

The basketball season has provided athletic opportunities not only for the players on the Mount Vernon and North Posey teams, Mumford said, but also for those Special Olympians in training on the sidelines in a specially designated skills area. Athletes in training are scored on their shooting and dribbling skills on the court prior to the game as well.

Right before basketball season ends, supporters of Posey County Special Olympics will participate in the first major fundraiser for the organization. A statewide event, “Polar Plunge” invites individuals and organizations

to consider “freezin’ for a reason” this coming Saturday, Feb. 9, at Boonville’s Scales Lakes.

Each individual or organization must raise a “bear” minimum of $75 ($50 minimum for a student with student I.D.) to enjoy the privilege of plunging into Scales Lakes for an invigorating winter swim around 12 noon.

Afterward, a party will be held for participants with an auction and door prizes. Festivities conclude around 2:30 p.m.

Mumford emphasizes that all participants must register prior to Polar Plunge. No registrations will be accepted the day of the event.

Three Posey County teams have formed already to participate in Polar Plunge: the Mount Vernon High School Key Club, the North Posey High School Student Council and Team Hypothermia, composed of fire and emergency medical service personnel employed in Posey County. All teams are collecting cash sponsorships now for the event.

Concerning Team Hypothermia, Vicki Daws, advanced emergency medical technician with the Posey County EMS, said its 13 men and women members have decided on an 80’s workout theme, and the guys plan to dress their part, complete with wigs and headbands. Daws added that Pearison’s had designed special t-shirts for the team.

Those interested in the Polar Plunge should act before it’s too late and call Lynn Clark, local Polar Plunge coordinator, at 812-306-5338, or join either of the high school teams.

Donations are welcome any time for Posey County Special Olympics. Checks may be mailed to County Coordinator Jackie Maier, Mount Vernon High School, 700 Harriet Street, Mount Vernon, Ind. 47620, for deposit in the

Fifth Third account set up for the organization.

The checks should be made payable to Special Olympics 511. The number is important.

Without it, the check will be deposited in the General Fund of Special Olympics Indiana. With it, the money is earmarked to be used specifically for Posey County Special Olympics.

Everyone donating to Posey County Special Olympics will receive a receipt. All donations are tax deductible and directly benefit athletes.

All organization leaders, both adult and student, are working strictly as volunteers and receive no pay for their involvement with Special Olympics.

Posey County Special Olympics athletes and volunteers encourage the community to support them by coming out to tonight’s game at Mount Vernon Junior High School and next week’s final game at North Posey High School. Fans will enjoy the great action while honoring their local basketball players.

Textiles exhibit opens at New Harmony Gallery A reception for Textiles, an exhibition by Teresa Paschke, will be held at the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday, February 9, during the New Harmony Winter Art and Antique Stroll. The exhibition is free and open to the public.

Paschke’s work combines state-of-the-art digi-

tal technology with traditional textile techniques.

Most recently she has been printing photographs on canvas, utilizing a wideformat ink jet printer followed by hand printing and stitching. This combination of methods evokes the contrast between the multiplicity of digital imaging and the individuality of traditional hand tech-

niques.

In addition, Paschke seeks to illuminate the similarities between historical and contemporary forms of visual expression in her juxtaposition of graffiti and needlework, and explore how cultural ideals can be expressed through the use of ornament and pattern.

Paschke received her

Master of Fine Arts degree in textile design from the University of KansasLawrence and Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in studio arts from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. She is an assistant professor of integrated studio arts at Iowa State University and a member of the International Surface Design Association board.

Pastor Matt Watson and his companions travel to the

• Matt Watson and Tim Wolf • Group Hosts ount Vernon General Baptist Church, or MVGBC, marked the 10th anniversary of ministry for Senior Pastor Matt Watson and his wife, Melissa, with an all-expenses-paid, seven-day tour of the Holy Land. The November, 2012, tour was a first for Watson and his wife as well as for three MVGBC couples accompanying them, Paul and Judy Beste, John and Barbara Keitel, and Clint and Brenda Willis. Pastor Tim and Netta Wolf, another husband and wife ministerial team from North Carolina, made their second trip to Israel with the group. Having led Calvary Baptist church from 1967 to 1972, the Wolfs were familiar to everyone.

Because of the Holy Land tour, all the couples share an even closer bond of friendship now than before the trip.

A thirty-something couple with young children, Watson and his wife had placed a trip to the Holy Land on their bucket list, something to aim for in retirement. Their congregation decided the young couple would be more effective in ministry if they walked on the ground hallowed by Jesus well before retirement. Watson expresses deep gratitude for his church’s generosity.

“Many people who will never have an opportunity to see the Holy Land—they sent me to the Holy Land. That’s very humbling,” Watson says. “Melissa and I are very grateful, and we feel a certain responsibility to teach well with the tools

that have been given to us.”

Three weekends ago, Watson and Pastor Tim Wolf, co-hosts on the Holy Land tour devoted an entire morning at MVGBC, from Sunday school through church services, to teaching about their trip. In our upcoming “Sermon of the Week,” Watson will share in-depth observations with the community. This “Your Life” article will give the “Cliff Notes” version of Watson’s presentation.

Once the five couples landed November 11 at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport, they looked out over Joppa, the setting for the well-known Old Testament account of Jonah and the whale. After their overnight stay, they headed north the next day by car, and over the course of the next seven days, traveled in a big circle until they ended back at Tel Aviv. They stayed three nights in two additional locations, the Sea of Galilee and Jerusalem, stopping at historical sites along the way. Pointing out that the country of Israel is about the size of the state of Rhode Island, Watson said their drives in a specially-rented 10-passenger van lasted no longer than two hours.

Boaz Shalgi, the group’s “tour guide extraordinaire,” with Experience Destination Israel generously shared a wealth of knowledge about his native country during the “In His Steps Bible Study Tour.” In a rare move for a tour guide, Shalgi along with his wife, Maggie,

a proud sponsor of

• Boaz Shalgi • Experience Destination Israel Tour Guide

even opened their kibbutz, or gated community, to the American visitors.

Watson said everyone was deeply moved with the generosity of the couple in hosting one evening meal in their own home. (Likewise, the group met briefly one day in the home of Mount Vernon native Gary Bayer and his wife, Cindy, in Old Jerusalem.)

A former member of the Israeli Defense Force, Shalgi looked out for his visitors’ safety as well. Watson said their group never feared for their lives in spite of the clashes between Israel and the Palestinians in November, 2012.

“We never felt scared,” Watson comments. “They had bomb shelters, and our tour guide knew where to go and where not to go. People back home were scared because they were watching the news. I don’t know how many people told us they prayed for us. The Lord really watched out for us.”

In speaking to the three MVGBC couples who traveled with the Watsons and the Wolfs, they all express how the tour deepened their spirituality. Pastor Matt baptized John Keitel, originally baptized July 3, 2005, in the Jordan River. Keitel’s wife, Barbara, said watching her husband’s rebaptism was one of the most meaningful moments of the tour for her, too.

Judy Beste said she has spent hours reflecting upon the tour since she returned

home. She has visualized, for example, the Via Dolorosa, or Way of Grief, the street where Jesus walked with his cross to Calvary. Now, she can imagine Jesus’ steps without shouts of vendors hawking their wares all along the way, Both Judy Beste and her husband, Paul, along with Clint and Brenda Willis, agree with their pastor that their stay at the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem proved the high point of their trip. In that empty cave, Pastor Matt and Paul Beste served Communion to the group in remembrance of Christ’s suffering and sacrificial death allowing for Resurrection.

“The Garden Tomb is one of the sites that they think Jesus could have been buried,” Watson explains. “And, of course, there are no bones, no shawl, no body. He’s not here. He’s risen. That is the point of the trip for a Christian. He has risen. He has conquered the grave. Therefore, Satan is vanquished. Jesus is King.”

Although everyone agrees the tour provided a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, all said visitors need at least a couple of trips to Israel to experience the sites and culture. Watson hopes in time to host additional tours for more members of his congregation and for members of the community at large.

“Going back would be an absolute joy,” he said. After all, for the Christian, walking in Jesus’ steps is a life-long quest.

“The busier, the better” for Mount Vernon natives Rick and Sherri Allen Mount Vernon natives Rick and Sherri Allen have lived in one home or another in “Birdland” subdivision all their lives. Rick, a 1973 MVHS graduate, and Sherri, a 1975 MVHS graduate, started dating after high school.

Married for 31 years now, they say their lives revolve around their children and grandchildren. The Allens make sure their community activities can involve their family.

Last year, they volunteered as campground hosts at Harmonie State Park from March through November.

They traveled between their home in Birdland and their

RV at the campground while managing their full-time careers. Rick has served in process automation for GE and SABIC for the past 38 years, and Sherri has assisted customers of the Posey County Co-op for 34 years as the credit manager, now including Synenergy Partners.

In addition, Rick runs a computer repair service on the side, and both he and Sherri help their brother-in-law with a successful worm farm.

Accustomed to desk jobs, the couple loves the outdoors and happily cleaned shower houses at the campgrounds, watered flowers at the cabins, worked pool concessions, and

more, for the opportunity to stay on the Harmonie State Park campgrounds.

If working as campground hosts weren’t enough already, the Allens joined the Friends of Harmonie State Park and are very active in that volunteer fundraising organization. Together, they have shelled pecans and worked the summer luau at the park, but Sherri still has stood out as the “goulash lady” at the Friends’ booth during Kunstfest and at the Harmonie State Park craft fair last fall.

The Allens are proud their grandchildren are learning an appreciation of the great

outdoors. Lindsay (6) and another, donations were Sophie (3), daughters of their accepted to raise money for son, Jason, and his wife, Riley Children’s Hospital.

Ashley (Weinzapfel) as well “The busier, the better as Benjamin (3) and Brinley (1), children of their daughter Brooke and her husband, Brian Eaton—all enjoy the wide open spaces and fresh air just as much as their grandparents and parents.

The grandchildren also enjoy the Halloween block parties, complete with inflatables and hayrides on the utility wagon, which Rick and Sherri have hosted in Birdland several years now.

One year, the party admission was canned goods for the Mount Vernon Food Pantry;

for us,” states Rick. “We wouldn’t have it any other way,” Sherri adds. “We don’t mind working.”

A healthy new year Special to the News By Lisa Gish, RN, MHA As a resident of southwestern Indiana, I’m concerned about the health of our shared region.

It is easy to get bogged down in negative talk about personal health and health care. We hear endlessly about costs, diseases, obesity and access to good care.

There is some good news to share, and there are things we can improve.

First, I’m going to share local and national perspectives, and then show how some local partnerships are improving care in southwestern Indiana.

According to Indiana Indicators, a report published by the State of Indiana, Posey County ranks slightly higher in diabetes prevalence with an indicator of 10.7 against a state ranking of 10.3 (based on county health Lisa Gish data) The obesity rate in Posey County is also slightly higher than the state of Indiana for adults over age 18 who are considered obese, with a number of 31.1 against the state number of 30.9.

Those numbers are almost too close to call.

The state collects data on various health indicators. To see the Posey County data, visit www.indianaindicators.org According to a Center for Disease Control study released in June 2012, there are positive and negative trends in American’s health.

Research reported, “More people are exercising, and fewer are smoking. But more Americans are obese and have type 2 diabetes.”

The article quoted Dr. Pascal James Imperato of the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center.

“Aerobic exercise has been widely embraced by many younger people, which is an excellent development as it addresses not only the health need to be active, build muscle tone and bone density, and promote cardiac fitness, but also the prevention of obesity.”

Dr. Imperatro believes the decline in smoking among adults is a result of considerable public health education plus a reduction in the social acceptance of smoking. Indiana has been proactive with smoke-free building laws.

As a registered nurse and the Director of Clinic Operations with Tri State Community Clinics, I’ve seen how patients can positively impact their health. We’ve witnessed individuals – who had not seen a doctor in years – discover on a first clinic visit risks for diabetes. What is even more exciting is that these patients often change their behaviors and reduce risk factors.

You also can reduce the risk factors over which you have control.

We know that smoking, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle contribute to certain health conditions.

Smoking: The CDC estimates “that the economic costs of smoking are $3,391 per smoker per year in direct medical costs and lost productivity."

What about the personal costs to your health? The State of Indiana offers a free counseling service at 1-800-QUIT-NOW. Losing Weight: For starters, losing weight provides the obvious reasons of feeling good and enjoying increased energy.

Maintaining a healthy weight can help you avoid heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, gallstones, breathing problems, and certain cancers.

A 2012 study by Reuters confirmed that the cost of obesity for the American worker has exceeded the cost of smoking.

Reuters said in the study, “The startling economic costs of obesity, often borne by the non-obese, could become the epi-

Sharon J. Hanmore Sharon J. Hanmore, age 65 of Mt. Vernon, died early Thursday morning January 31, 2013 at Deaconess Hospital. She was born July 12, 1947 in Mount Vernon, the daughter of Wesley and Ellen (Turner) Nelson. She married Richard Hanmore on June 13, 1966 and he preceded her in death on December 25, 2005.

She is survived by a son, Rick Hanmore; three daughters, Monica Goldsberry, Kathy (Arnold) Wyatt and Tina (Kerry) Shephard all of Mount Vernon; two brothers, Roger Nelson of Mount Vernon and Larry (Jackie) Nelson of Mount Carmel, Ill.; a sister, Martha (Wilfred) Nobles of Mount Vernon; 11 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, four brothers, Don, Gordon, John and Joseph Wayne; and two sisters, Marjorie Moore and Carolyn Cox. Funeral services were held at 11 a.m. on Saturday February 2, 2013 at the Stendeback Family Funeral Home at 1330 E. 4th St., Mt. Vernon with Rev. Troy DeKemper officiating. Burial was in Blacks Cemetery.

Visitation was from 9 a.m. until the time of service.

Rozanna Bryant Rozanna (Phelps) Bryant, 91, died Saturday morning, February 2, 2013, at the Mount Vernon Nursing & Rehab Center.

She was born on June 4, 1921, in Mount Vernon, the daughter of Fred and Mary (Effinger) Phelps.

She married Wayne Bryant and he preceded her in death in 1983.

Mrs. Bryant was a member of the Mount Vernon First Christian Church. She had worked at the Shipyards in Evansville during the war, and was later a caregiver to several local ladies. She belonged to the Silver Strider Walkers. She especially loved being with family.

She is survived by one son and daughter-in-law, Richard and Rhonda Bryant of Mount Vernon; one daughter and son-in-law, Beverly and Paul Cross of Mount Vernon; seven grandchildren and their spouses, Kim and Dick Higgins, Jeff and Angie Cross, Stacy and Johnathan Spencer, Jason and Crystal Bryant, Jackie and Matt Burns, Rodney and Christy Thompson, and Shane and Crystal Thompson; sixteen greatgrandchildren, two great-great grandchildren; and one sister, Carolyn Tinsley. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, Wayne, two brothers, Bill Phelps and Fred Phelps, Jr.; five sisters, Lorene Reeves, Mary Catherine Garrett, Imogene Utley, Marjorie Turner, and most recently, Betty Lewis on January 25, 2013.

Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, February 5, 2013, at Stendeback Family Funeral Home, 1330 E. Fourth Street, Mount Vernon. Visitation will be from 3 until 7 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 4, 2013, at the funeral home. Burial will be in Bellefontaine Cemetery. On-line condolences may be left at stendebackfamilyfuneralhome.com. Memorials may be made to the First Christian Church. The family wishes to thank Mount Vernon Nursing and Rehab for their compassionate care and Goldie Jolley, for being a good friend and roommate.

What can you do to maintain optimal weight? Since 2010, the Indiana Health Initiative implemented a comprehensive program with goals toward reducing obesity. The State of Indiana web site at http://www.in.gov/isdh/20195.htm offers free information about weight loss. You can calculate your Body Mass Index and understand how it relates to your weight goals.

Body Mass Index, or BMI, estimates human body fat based on a person’s height and weight. Many medical providers use this tool in helping patients grasp weight issues.

Exercise: A third way to reduce controllable health risk factors is by increasing exercise.

During football season, we all love Sunday afternoon on the couch. We might even have some Queso sauce and chips. Like everything else, this is probably okay in moderation.

Moderation is the key word here. Can you get off the couch and include regular exercise in your routine? Thirty minutes of moderate exercise, three times a week, can significantly improve your overall fitness, weight, blood pressure, and even stress levels.

Because the health of our shared community is important, I am committed to the mission of Tri State Community Clinics. The group, with Chad Perkins, MD, as Chief Medical Officer, positively impacts healthcare in a partnership with local businesses since 2010.

Tri State Community clinics join with the following businesses in providing on-site health care for employees: Evansville ARC, A&A Metal Products, FLANDERS, Anchor Industries, Buchta Trucking, Omni Plastics, and the MSD of North Posey County.

Employers know that having healthy employees is a positive for business.

Healthy employees miss less work, are less stressed, and are often more productive.

Insurance premiums for healthy employees cost less.

Our partner companies understand how an on-site employee clinic can help employees determine the risk factors.

Clinics offer easy access for employees, and in most cases, is included with their health insurance premiums.

• 3-4 pounds Alaskan king crab legs and claws • 1 stick of butter • Lemon wedges for garnish DIRECTIONS 1.

Melt the butter in a small pan and keep warm on its lowest setting.

2.

Set a steamer tray inside a large pot and pour enough water inside to steam the crab. Remember, you are only reheating the crab, so you will only need about an inch of water, tops. Bring this to a boil before laying the crab legs on the steamer. Cover the pot and steam for 5 minutes.

Remove the crab legs and use kitchen shears to cut the shells. You can either totally remove the meat from the shell or just get each one started for your guests. Serve with the melted butter.

Yield: Serves 4.

be designed to enhance, rather than detract from, the historic building and park by creating the only formal public Victorian garden in Evansville.

The interior space will provide an expanded, more publicly accessible, Archives and provide for a Gallery in which art and historical exhibits can be displayed

1,000 Books Program Beginning February 1, the Alexandrian Public Library will offer an early literacy initiative called 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten. This reading program is a multiyear project that seeks to encourage parents to read aloud at least 1,000 books to their children before they enter school.

The program is open to any preschooler from birth through the child’s entrance into kindergarten and is based upon evidence from research which has found that the more children ages 0-5 hear books read to them, the more prepared they will be to learn

Relay 5K 3rd Annual Lace Up Against Cancer

to read once they enter school.

The 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program provides a fun method to encourage families to read aloud to their preschoolers by offering a framework similar to the annual summer reading program. Parents can sign up their children at the library or bookmobile where they will receive a book bag, lists of recommended books, and a reading log on which they will record the titles of the first 100 books that have been read to their child. When they complete the reading log, they may come to the library or bookmobile for a sticker and the reading log for the next 100 books and so on, until they have read 1,000 books.

Various incentives will be offered at the 200, 500, and 800 books levels. Children who reach the 1,000 books level will receive a certificate, a book, and will have their name added to a special display in the library honoring those who complete the program.

St. John’s Episcopal Church located on the corner of 6th and Mulberry Street in Mt. Vernon will celebrate its traditional Shrove Tuesday pancake and sausage supper on February 12 beginning at 6 p.m. The parish hall is located on the back of the church on the 6th Street entrance.

St. John’s would like to extend an invitation to all in the community to attend this event.

Donations given for a meal will benefit St. John’s Youth Group activities.

Traditionally the men of the church prepare the meal with the youth helping as servers.

Shrove Tuesday gets its name from the ritual of shriving, when church members would confess their sins to the priest and receive forgiveness before

the beginning of the Lenten season. Historically, Shrove Tuesday also marked the beginning of the 40-day Lenten fasting period when the faithful were forbidden by the church to consume meat, butter, eggs and milk.

However, if a family had a store of these foods they all would go bad by the time the fast ended on Easter Sunday.

What to do? Solution: Use up the milk, butter and eggs no later than Shrove Tuesday. And so, with the addition of a little flour, the solution quickly presented itself in pancakes. Today, the Shrove Tuesday pancake tradition lives on throughout Western Europe, the United States, Canada, and Australia.

For more information about St. John’s pancake supper, please call 8385445.

BUSINESS/AG

Toyota parts supplier plans to expand in Gibson County Governor Mike Pence joined executives from Vuteq USA, Inc., an interior parts supplier for Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana, to announce the company's plans to expand its operations here, creating up to 93 new jobs by the end of 2013.

The company plans to invest $4.3 million to equip its existing plant located at 819 E. 350 S. in Princeton.

The facility, which is located approximately one mile from Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana, will have new equipment installed by the end of May and be operational by June.

"This investment could have gone to a number of facilities in neighboring states, but once again Indiana is coming out as the top choice due to our progrowth environment and the unrivaled work ethic of Hoosiers," said Pence. "We're excited that Vuteq USA has chosen Indiana as a fixture in its long-term business plans and look forward to watching them continue to expand in the future."

Vuteq USA, which currently has 450 employees at its Indiana facility, has already begun the process of hiring new production and management associates.

"We have found southern Indiana to be a great place to

continue growing. We have dedicated team members and are pleased to contribute to the surrounding community," said Mike Tracey, plant manager of Vuteq USA's Indiana plant. "We'd also like to thank Governor Pence, the state of Indiana and Gibson County officials for the opportunity to do so."

Vuteq USA, a division of Vuteq Corp., was established in Kentucky in 1985 and is currently comprised of three facilities in Kentucky, Illinois and Indiana.

Beginning production in 2002, Vuteq USA's Indiana facility manufactures and assembles instrument panel subassemblies, overhead system subassemblies and glass window subassemblies used in auto manufacturing.

Its customers include Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana, Johnson Controls and Asahi Glass Company.

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Vuteq USA, Inc. up to $850,000 in conditional tax credits based on the company's job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives.

Gibson County approved additional incentives at the request of the Gibson County Economic Development

Corporation.

"Within one month, governmental officials in Gibson County have worked tirelessly on two industrial expansions which will increase the available employment opportunities at a time when our unemployment rate has ticked up a bit to 7.7 percent," said Gerald Bledsoe, president of the Gibson County Commission. "Through the efforts of our local group, the state of Indiana and local Vuteq officials, we are happy that Vuteq USA has accepted our incentive packages and decided to invest in Gibson County and add new team members to their labor force."

As the state with the second largest motor vehicle industry in the country, Indiana continues to be a place where automotive companies find the talent and resources they need for success. Earlier this month, Pence joined executives from Greenville Technology, Inc., to announce the completion of the company's new Madison County facility. The Honda supplier invested $21.37 million to construct and equip an injection molding and assembly facility in Anderson's Flagship Certified Technology Park, creating up to 325 new jobs by 2016.

Indiana Senate working to improve child protection Indiana has made important gains in protecting Hoosier children from abuse and neglect since the Department of Child Services was created in 2005, but there is still work to do. Tragic news reports and comments from local officials and constituents have made it clear to all state leaders that certain changes are necessary to improve DCS. This week the Indiana Senate unanimously

approved Senate Bill 105 to allow for more direct communication between local DCS offices and professionals who work with children. The bill would allow any law enforcement official, judiciary employee, medical professional or school official to report suspected cases of child abuse or neglect directly to local DCS caseworkers rather than to the statewide child abuse hotline based in Indianapolis.

Senate Bill 319 prevents Indiana farm tax increase On Tuesday, the Senate approved Senate Bill 319 to prevent an estimated $57 million property tax increase on Indiana farmers.

SB 319 would delay, for an additional year, the implementation of a new federal formula for assessing farmland property taxes.

This means the formula used for the March 1, 2011, assessment date will be used again for the March 1, 2013, assessment date.

This legislation is all about helping the 62,000 farmers and their families in

our state. The new proposed "soil productivity factors" for farmland assessment could cause an 18 percent average increase in property tax payments for these residents, depending on which counties they call home.

I’m afraid that could be enough to put some of our hard-working farmers — who are already struggling because of last year’s drought — out of business.

That is why I supported SB 319, which will now be heard in the House of Representatives.

in Indiana. This program will be held locally at the Vanderburgh County Fairgrounds Activities building on Tuesday, February 19 and 26 from 8 a.m. to noon each day. Preregistration is required.

The program will feature a combination of Purdue University specialists and professionals in the fields of Agriculture lending, accounting and law. Some of the topics to be covered include farm financial analysis, communication and conflict management skills, as well as legal and tax consequences of business structures and agreements.

The registration fee for this program is $50 per person or $100 for up to four participants from the same farming entity.

OPINION

It takes a village to raise a writer This past Tuesday, I received a congratulatory email from Sheila Bender, the Port Townsend, Wash., founder, publisher and editor of Writing It Real, an online writer’s magazine. Bender notified me that the independent judge, memoirist Shanti Bannwart, had awarded my personal essay, “Salvation,” third place in the Writing It Real fall contest. The news made my day in the way only a third place award can. I have vowed to work even harder to move on up to first place in the Writing It Real spring contest.

A third place award is, nonetheless, a third place award, so I posted my good news on Facebook. The response to my post has brought me even more joy than the news of the contest results. As

I write on Friday night, I have read a little over 30 congratulatory comments

LIVING FOR THE JOURNEY

BY PAM ROBINSON from my friends on Facebook, and a little over 50 of my friends “Like” my post. Granted, the two groups overlap a bit. Still, I can estimate around 70 friends were pleased with my news. Better still, no haters have put in any negative, spirit-slaying remarks.

Writing for this community has enabled me to make friends all around me.

I’ve become acquainted with about 250 people during interviews for the Good Neighbor feature alone. Beyond

that, I’ve met dozens of amazing people in writing human interest stories. Posey County is filled with kind and creative residents, and I’ve been blessed by everyone who’s talked with me face-to-face. (When people have no use for my writing, they end our conversation on the phone.)

I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my friends.

Only a few months before I started writing for the “Posey County News” in June, 2008, I had become resigned to finding no true happiness in the workplace. Off and on for a few years, I had tried college teaching until it completely zapped all my energy. That failing, I still needed to help earn a living. Then, as for much of my life, I worked to bring in an income, not to de-

“We the People” educates young people Being an educator, it is always an inspiring and uplifting experience to witness students succeed by putting their studies to action. High school students these days juggle school, work, extracurricular activities and a social life. This juggling act can be stressful. However, some determined and bright civically devoted students choose to go the extra mile and be part of ‘We the People’. This organization helps build and promote civic engagement and responsibility among students throughout the nation.

‘We the People’ is something I have been part of for a number of years.

Educating young students about democracy and the United States Constitution is very rewarding and imperative to keeping our nation strong. The depth and breadth of their knowledge of the Constitution and political process is amazing.

A few days ago, four ‘We the People’ student

participants came to the Statehouse and presented their view of democracy to a panel of three judges (myself and two others).

I taught ‘We the People’ for eight years and later served as a District Coordinator. District Coordinators work to provide unique opportunities to any and all students who want to take part and learn about democracy. They are leaders and mentors to these students that are seeking a deeper understanding of the U.S. Constitution.

Taking part in ‘We the People’ is much more than taking a class; it is a way of life. This program provides students that have a passion for understanding the Constitution and democracy the information, resources and history that they find fascinating.

The ‘We the People’ program began back in 1987 and is a national program that has had an influence on over 28 million students and 90,000 educators. The Indiana Bar Foundation

and the Center for Civic Education provide funding and professional development opportunities for the members of the program.

Students compete regionally, but have the opportunity to advance to state and national competitions.

‘We the People’ challenges young people by allowing them to compete against other students with similar interests and passions.

Perhaps most importantly of all, ‘We the People’ promotes civic knowledge and understanding. The Indiana Legislative Youth Advisory Council – another excellent youth civic organization – alerted me to the fact that Indiana ranks 48th in the nation in youth voter turnout. Young people are the future of our country, and it is crucial that they take an active role in the direction of our state.

Gavel Gamut’s ‘The Long Arm of the Law’ In the summer of 1965 I had just received my honorable discharge from the Air Force and got a job in Indianapolis selling P.F. Collier Encyclopedias (does anyone else spell this word: ♫ enc | yc | lo | pe | d | ia ♫ ?). Regardless, I needed money to support my family and to pay for the new car I had bought. Since the car dealer only offered me $100 for my old car for which I had paid $350, I decided to keep it.

It was a boss 1956 green and white Ford Fairlane convertible with a white top. I really liked that car.

Unfortunately, so did another book salesman named Sam ___. Sam begged me to sell him the car and promised me $350 to be paid at $50 per week for seven weeks. Under the influence of monthly bills and greed, I succumbed.

I gave Sam the keys when he promised the first $50 would follow as soon as he got paid. Payday never came, at least for me, and I never saw my beloved car again. It took twenty-four years for me to find out what happened to it and Sam. In 1989 I was presented with a plea bargain in which one Heinz ___, who was represented by courtappointed counsel, William Bender, would take a fifteen year sentence for home burglary with ten years executed and five thereafter on probation. The state was

represented by prosecuting attorney William Gooden.

The homeowner was in

GAVEL GAMUT

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE agreement with the sentence.

When a person facing a felony is to be sentenced the judge receives a presentence report that sets out the defendant’s personal and legal history. Heinz’s report included reference to his having lived in Indianapolis. As Heinz’s last name was as unusual as his first, I had a vague memory of such a moniker from my past. The following is taken from the actual court proceeding: Court: “Mr. ___, where have you resided in the past and have you ever used any other name?

Defendant:This is my first trip to Posey County.

I just came here to commit this burglary. And, I have gone under the name of Sam ___ in the past.

Court: Did you ever do any work when you were in Indianapolis?

Defendant:Yes, sir.

Court: Ever do any sales?

Defendant: Have I ever done any sales?

Court: You know, direct sales? Sales?

Defendant: Way, way back I worked for an encyclopedia company.

Court: Did you go by Sam ___ then?

Defendant: Well, Sam has always been my nickname since high school.

Court: Okay, Mr. ___, I remember you.

Defendant:You remember me?

Court: Yes, I do.

Defendant: Could you enlighten, please?

Court: I sold you a car in 1965. A ’56 Ford convertible. Green and white.

Defendant: In Indianapolis?

Court: Right.

Defendant: And I never got a title for it.

Court: Because you haven’t paid for it.”

I was explaining in open court that Sam ___ was supposed to pay me $350 when Sam broke in and asked: “How much did I pay you?”

Mr. Bender interceded by advising: “It’s best not to ask those questions.”

Defendant: “ Y o u have a good memory, Judge.”

Then Sam explained he and his wife had driven my car to Oregon where it quit running. His wife then filled it with potting soil and made a gorgeous green and white planter on wheels.

So, Gentle Reader, I ask you to put yourself both in Sam’s predicament and mine. Perhaps we will finish the saga next week.

velop a career. Trust me, I still value every dollar I earn. The difference lies

in seeing a purpose in my work.

When I consider how

my life is spent now, I know I’ve already won the grand prize.

Letters to the Editor Four Seasons Motel express appreciation Rodney and Jean Cox, owners and operators of the Four Seasons Motel wish to express their sincere appreciation and gratitude to the community regarding the incident at the motel in the early morning hours of Monday, January 21.

Without the immediate and combined assistance of the following community members, neighbors, friends, family and even guests at the motel, the accident scene could have been much worse.

Thanks to the prompt response of the “First Responders” Alan Middleton of the Mount Vernon Police Department, Dan Montgomery, the Posey County Sheriff’s Depart-

ment, and the Black Township Fire Department, the Posey County Ambulance, who no doubt saved the drivers life. Their quick action removed the threat of fire that could have developed into a life threatening event.

Thanks to, Sam Banks and Dan Banks who brought their tractor with the front loader to help remove debris and glass from the accident site.

Thanks to Ries Farms and their employees, Jeremy Bolt, Troy Dekemper, Ray Neth, Roy “Tiny” Stiltner, Greg Oeth, WSI and all the folks who showed up with brooms and shovels to remove bricks and glass and who

used their hammers and nails to prop up the front business foyer.

Thanks to Schultheis Insurance and who was on the spot to held and guest Frank Brandon who made hot soup to help feed everyone who was working on the accident site.

We know not all the names are listed, but we want everyone involved to know we recognize and appreciate your tremendous effort at helping us open for business as usual and uniting under duress as good neighbors and members of our valued community. We are deeply grateful.

Rodney and Jean Cox Mount Vernon, Ind.

Citizen is concerned drug testing is not a good idea In regards to the articles and news reports on the TV concerning the new drug testing at Black Township Trustee Office I feel sure that about 85% of taxpayers probably think it is a great thing and the trustee will save our money. I have been a taxpayer for the last 37 years and I know when presented with new ideas and changes that it can stir people up and take them by surprise. I would have thought this new idea could have been discussed openly with the agencies that have worked with the trustee office as we are not God and should not judge our fellow man in need. In the past the right hand knew what the left hand was doing and everyone working together to help families get to a zero balance. Sometimes the past due bills are caused because of a trip to the doctor, medicine, or needed parts for a vehicle or even laid off and unemployment hasn’t started. There is more than just one way to look at families’ problems. It is not always drugs. Problems and past due bills are not always because someone is lazy or not working. As it is, we know longer have that opportunity or the cooperation. I am here to tell you that you need to look further into this situation of what this is going to do to families that are already struggling to keep a roof over their head and electric on. I personally, for the last 20 years have worked with families that need guidance and help. I believe that all of us know that we cannot force anyone to quit smoking, drinking, drugs because we want them to. Do you know the statistics of people going through Stepping Stone or any other program to help them get clean, I believe it is a pretty low percent. That is also throwing away our tax dollars. Unless it is on their time no one is

going to stop what they are doing. People have to reach their breaking point themselves. So in the meantime, who is taking care of the children left in the family.

You cannot automatically assume that everyone has a support system within their family and would receive support and be willing to take the children and the expanses that would be incurred with extra mouths to feed. As, has been stated, by the trustee this is generation poverty and drug use so their families could possibly be of harm to the children.

A lot of us do have family support and this makes us very fortunate. So, in the long run you cannot assume that every family is a normal family, they themselves may just be getting by and with extra people in the household all bills would be increased. Not that parents would not help their children some are not able. So just because this seems like the greatest thing to save tax dollars, is It??

The cost of a drug test being $60 will cause more of a problem to the other private organizations frying to help the families. QUESTION? Would it not be necessary to test all adults in the household of the household wanting assistance as I have not heard this issue being addressed. Also, we have homes or apartments in Mount Vernon that are rentals. Families that previously lived in these homes could have done drugs. Someone moves in that home and has never done or used drugs the after effects of the previous tenants could affect that person. Think about it. The trustee is causing a hardship fix the agencies as they are getting more of a case load.

The agencies do not receive tax payers money, we operate completely on donations which is getting drained.

It is sad that someone be turned away for assistance

that passes a drug test and used their $49 resources {utility check from HUD} for toilet paper, soap ,shampoo, laundry detergent, deodorant as these are necessary items that a lot of us take for granted and have on a daily basis. Is this being wasteful?? Can you go for a week or two without your deodorant, shampoo, toothpaste, etc. I feel that some of this needs to be rethought. Maybe we need to walk a mile in their shoes before we judge the less fortunate as I feel some of them have more compassion in their little finger than some others. Now this gentlemen, with the help of private organizations does not have to worry about his electric being disconnected. I do understand that the $49 was a utility allotment and should have been placed with Vectren but he felt he would receive assistance through his trustee not knowing that the purchased necessities would go against him. If this was a problem then is the other households that apply for assistance and could possibly be over income guidelines of 100% of the poverty limit and may have wasted resources denied also. I see on a daily basis families that are living above their means.

I would think that they need intervention also!!!

Also, where are all of the jobs for individuals that can pass a drug test now and where will the jobs come from for others as they get clean. So many people are without transportation and that places limits on them.

Some people might say if they got a job they could then pay for a vehicle.

Think about it , then there is car insurance, gas plates and upkeep on a small wage it is almost impossible. Maybe some of the taxpayers’ dollars could be used for public transportation.

Legislation to promote better nutrition and physical education The American Cancer Society’s Coaches vs.

Cancer Suits and Sneakers weekend (January 25-27) united the nation’s basketball coaches, players, fans, the media and corporations all across America in the fight against cancer. During the three day event more than 4,000 college and high school coaches turned awareness into action by swapping their dress shoes for sneakers to provide opportunity for the public to join in the fight cancer.

On Monday, January 28, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network’s “Suits and Sneakers” made its way to the Indiana Statehouse.

Legislators were asked to wear their suits and sneakers to the Monday session to show their support for fighting cancer and improving the health and well-being of all Hoosiers, “We have many lawmakers who share our vision for a healthier Indiana. By wearing their suits and sneakers we wanted them to send a strong message to their colleagues and constituents that the time is right to introduce and pass legislation that addresses the important issue of improving health here in Indiana,” said Amanda Estridge, Program Manager, Indiana Government Relations for the American Cancer Society

Cancer Action Network. "It was a huge success."

Today, one in three cancer deaths are due to factors relating to nutrition and physical activity, including overweight and obesity. For the majority of Americans who do not use tobacco, the greatest way to reduce the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases is through weight control, dietary choices, and physical activity.

“State and local community leaders and policymakers can play a critical role in improving the health of the people in our state. One area in particular where they can have dramatic impact is legislating strong

guidelines for physical education and high nutritional foods in our schools," said Estridge. “There is a strong correlation between childhood obesity and future adult obesity, so targeted efforts towards our kids and our schools is an important first-step.”

Nationally, childhood obesity rates have more than tripled in the past four decades and the combined percentage of adults who are overweight or obese is 63.5 percent. Indiana ranks 12th worst among all states with 34.8 percent of its adult population overweight and 30.8 percent obese. Among Indiana’s high school aged teens,

with us to craft legislation to improve the quality and quantity of physical education in Indiana schools.”

ACS CAN, the nonprofit, nonpartisan advocacy affiliate of the American Cancer Society, supports evidencebased policy and legislative solutions designed to eliminate cancer as a major health problem. ACS CAN works to encourage elected officials and candidates to make cancer a top national priority. ACS CAN gives ordinary people extraordinary power to fight cancer with the training and tools they need to make their voices heard. For more information, visit www.acscan.org.

“How to address our nation’s obesity epidemic is a conversation that is taking place in legislatures all across the country,” said Estridge. “The time is right for us in Indiana because we know that we can save many lives in the long run, reduce our health care costs, and make our state a better place to live by passing laws that improve the public’s health.

Mount Vernon swimmers win Sectional crown

By Steven Kochersperger It might not have been the path to a sectional crown that coach Larry Zoller wanted but in the end its the results that matter. Mount Vernon's girls swim team struggled to gain the momentum and cushion in the points they hoped for Saturday, but a lot of that had to do with the great performance of the Castle swim team. Castle set five new school record in the sectional swim meet but it was Mount Vernon that found themselves 19 points ahead in the end giving the Wet Cats yet another sectional crown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Castle had a good meet,â&#x20AC;? coach Zoller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We couldn't get the momentum we wanted going but we had enough points at the end to win and that's what counts. We ended up qualifying in every event but one for the state meet and have set ourselves up pretty good for the state swim championships next week.â&#x20AC;?

One strategy that worked for the Wildcats was to stack their relay teams with their best swimmers. This helped gain very important points with wins by the relay teams on Saturday and gave other swimmers time to focus on their specific races.

The Sectional meet opened with an impressive showing in the 200 yard medley relay. The Wildcat team of Samantha Gowdy, Claudia Crawford, Kelsey Turner, and Clara Baggett won the race with a time of 1:45.31. This time set a pool and sectional record that the Cats set just last year with a time of 1:46.47. In the 400 Relay Samantha Gowdy, Kelsey Turner, Clara Baggett, and Drew Glover won in impressive style with a time of 3:33.86 giving them the points to be crowned sectional champs.

Sophomore Clara Baggett seemed to enjoy the sectional meet winning four races to help the Wet Cats as a team.

Not only did she help the relay teams in the 200 and 400 relay races, but she also posted wins in the 50 freestyle race and the 100 free. And even though she seemed to have a big sectional performance, her focus after the meet was on the Seniors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's our awesome seniors who got us here,â&#x20AC;? Baggett said.

Those seniors, Kelsey Turner and Taylor Cullman also were thankful and reflective after the sectional win.â&#x20AC;?It's amazing to be apart of it,â&#x20AC;? Turner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Swimming for Mount Vernon is such a big deal and we put so much time into it. Its been really rewarding to come here and do what we have done.â&#x20AC;? Turner put up great times in

Middle: Coach Larry Zoller, Katie McDonald, Samantha Reese, Jodi Mercer, Claudia Crawford, Taylor Culley.

Photo By Steven Kochersperger the relay races Saturday and finished second in the 100 butterfly as well.

Cullman helped the cats with her great performance in the 200 freestyle relay race that came up just short to the Castle team. It was not easy for her to hold back the emotions Saturday as she knows her high school swim career is on the back end with just the state meet left. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's really sad because this is my last meet in this area,' Cullman said.â&#x20AC;?I've had a lot of fun swimming in the last six or seven years and its been a great ride.â&#x20AC;?

In diving Katie McDonald finished second after nailing some pretty great dives. Entering the finals McDonald

w

found herself in 5th place and when the finals were over she ended in second place. McDonald will now move on to dive in the Regional Diving competitions this week.

Mount Vernon finished the Sectionals with 508 points while Castle finished in second with 489. Memorial was third with 326, Mater Dei fourth with 194, and Reitz fifth with 164. The rest of the field was as follows: Central 126,Bosse 99, North 87, Gibson Southern 87, Boonville 79, Harrison 43, Day School 11.

The girls team now travels to Indianapolis this Saturday to compete in the State Championships. Good luck Wet Cats!

By Steven Kochersperger Ten Posey County wrestlers went into the Regional wrestling meet Saturday and four came out still alive in the state tournament.

All ten represented their schools and the county well but when it was all said and done two North Posey wrestlers and two Mount Vernon wrestlers find themselves moving on to the semi state meet this Saturday at the Ford Center

in Evansville.

Among those wrestlers to do well Saturday was North Poseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Austin Little. Little came into the Regional with an impressive 33-2 record and opened the meet beating Memorialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Josh Small to move on. In the semi finals Little found himself in a battle with Harrison freshman Terrance Kyles but ended up pinning Kyles in the second period to move on to the 285 pound class championship. Pike

Centralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dalton Miller gave Little a great match but in the end Little found himself with enough points to win the Regional Championship in his weight class setting himself up nicely this week in the Semi State meet.

Little was humbled by the win and dedicated the win to his grandfather. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really special to win this,â&#x20AC;?

Mount Vernon beats Tigers after defeat to Bears

By Steven Kochersperger If there is one team that seems to be dangerous come Homecoming time its the Princeton Tigers. A few weeks ago the Tigers knocked off the North Posey Vikings at Homecoming and this past friday they traveled to Mount Vernon in hopes of doing the same to the Wildcats. It wasn’t easy but the Mount Vernon boys basketball team was able to hang on in overtime to defeat Princeton 61-54.

It seemed to take time for the Wildcats to get into a rythym and they looked to struggle early on. But it took playing great defense to help create the offense and help Mount Vernon hold on for the win.

“We didn’t have a great shooting night but those nights happen,” Wildcat coach Marc Hostetter said.”We played well in the defensive half court and that made all the difference in the game.”

The very first period of play showcased the struggling offenses. Both Mount Vernon and Princeton struggled to take any kid of sizable lead and at the end of the opening period the Wildcats had the lead 8-6.

But it was Princeton that got their offense going first. With 1:50 left until halftime the Tigers built a four point lead behind a 6-0 run. This lead would not last long as Mount Vernon cut the lead to two at the half and then came out of the locker room tying the game and taking the lead behind the three point shooting of Bryce Newman. Newman hit two straight three point baskets to put the Wildcats up by four midway through the third period of play. Princeton was not able to do much with the four point defecit and at the end of the third period trailed Mount Vernon 35-31.

The Tigers were not to be denied in the fourth period though and with just five minutes to play Princeton tied the game at 35-35. Three minutes later the Tigers found themselves on top once again with a 43-39 lead. Princeton eventually built their fourth quarter lead to 46-41 and it didn’t look good at that point for the Wildcats.

But that’s when the Cats regrouped and began to lock their defense down. The Wildcats began going inside to their big men and that helped them get to the line and eventually tie the game at 48-48 behind two free throws from Senior Jevin Redman and send the game into overtime.

This was a point of emphasis for the Wildcats according to coach Hostetter. “We have emphasized going inside the last few games,” coach Hostetter said after the game.”When you start on the inside and work your way out it makes everything go smoother. It allows you to gain confidence and draw fouls as well. We have to get a lot more touches in the paint.”

This point of emphasis continued into the overtime and when Princeton began to miss their shots with under a minute to play it forced them to send the Wildcats to the line. The Cats stepped to the line and his the last seven free throws to take the lead and win the game 61-54.

“We executed tonight and are happy with the win,”coach Hostetter said. “Princeton executed really well in the half court and once we were able to defend well it made the difference. We have to continue to play well fundamentally especially on times that we struggle offensively.”

The win helps the Wildcats build their overall record to 15-3 and 4-1 in the Big Eight Conference play. Earlier in the week the Cats lost big at home to the Central Bears. The Bears came into Mount Vernon and ran all over the Wildcat defense beating Mount Vernon 87-56 for their third loss of the season.

Leading the Wildcats in scoring Friday night was Senior Brian Koch who had 18 points in the Homecoming win.

‘Little’ continued from Page B1 gone in the tournament and its a pretty big deal.

I dedicated this all to my grandpa so its even more special for me.”

The other Posey County wrestler to compete for a championship in their weight class was Mount Vernon’s Michael Rynkiewich.

Rynkiewich won the 160 pound class sectional crown last week and wrestled himself to the championship match on Saturday. Rynkiewich found himself facing off with North Posey’s Gary Martin in the semi finals in what turned out to be a great match. Rynkiewich ended up beating Martin 5-1 in the semis and moving on to the championship. In the championship match Rynkiewich couldn’t seem to get it going like he wanted and ended up losing the match 4-1 to Mater Dei’s Mahlon Parkinson.

Rynkiewich’s second place showing makes him eligible to move on Saturday to wrestle in the semi state meet.

Mount Vernon’s Julian Suar ended up with an impressive third place showing Saturday qualifying him to continue in the state tournament as well. Suar opened his 120 pound class match by beating Central’s Hunter McCormick but was pinned in the next round by Mater Dei’s Alex Johnson. Suar rebounded by beating his Heritage Hills opponent Nick Myers 6-2 to finish third in the weight class.

The other Posey County Wrestler that found themselves moving on to the semi state meet was North Posey’s Gary Martin. Martin started his matches by beating Bosse’s Michael Merriweather before losing to Mount Vernon’s Michael

Rynkiewich. Martin then lost a heart breaking matchup in overtime with Reitz’s Andy Wimpelberg 4-2, but was still able to place in fourth Saturday ensuring his place in the semi state matches.

Mount Vernon’s Dane Wilson, Noah Keller, and Payton Whoberry all had their season’s end Saturday in the regional meet. The same is true of North Posey wrestlers Seth Elderkin, Eric O’Risky, and Shane Martin.

All the Posey County wrestlers should be proud of their efforts as they represented their families, schools, and county well Saturday.

The Semi State meet will be held this Saturday in the Ford Center in Evansville.

Good luck to all four Posey County Wrestlers.

Colton Motz, Bryce Koester and Kurt Parker Seibert received honors at the Rose Hulman Football Banquet 1/20/2013. Seibert received a Varsity Letter for his contributions on the PAT specialty team and as 2nd string defensive end during varsity play. He started as a defensive end for all JV games. Koester received a participation award for his contributions on the offensive line for JV games.

Motz was red-shirted before the season for a knee injury but will join the team for spring training as Rose prepares him for the quarterback position. Motz also received a participation award. The Fighting Engineers had a winning season of 5 and 5 and were 5 and 3 in the HCAC conference. Coach Sokol was especially proud that the freshman players had a record GPA this year. No doubt that these three NP alums contributed to that accomplishment.

James is a junior at the Warrick County school in southwestern Indiana where he’s in his third year as a member of the Pioneers swimming and diving team.

James has dealt with Asperger Syndrome, an Autistic Spectrum Disorder associated with difficulties in social interaction, dealing with change, and sometimes odd, eccentric or repetitive behaviors. He is breaking his disability stereotypes however by interacting with teammates and participating in both team and individual swimming events, something he began doing competitively at age six.

In December 2011, his next major challenge presented itself. What his family assumed was a bad case of bronchitis and pneumonia turned out to be something far more serious. His lung function fell daily to dangerous levels to where he needed to be put on oxygen, was put on homebound services for school and underwent a series of tests. Extensive evaluations over the next three months at three of the Midwest’s finest children’s hospitals resulted in a diagnosis of bronchiolitis obliteran, a rare, life-threatening disorder that causes inflammatory obstruction of the lung’s bronchioles. The obstruction leads to extensive scarring that blocks the airways, which leads to a dry cough, shortness of breath, wheezing and fatigue. Due to the extent of the disease,

Due to scheduling conflicts, the North Posey Jr. High Spaghetti dinner has been cancelled. The dinner and Basketball Battle were scheduled on the same night as Senior Night in the high school. We don’t like to compete within the school district whenever possible so everyone can support as many North Posey events as possible. The Basketball Battle sponsored by the National Jr. Honor Society is rescheduled to Wednesday February 6 at 6 p.m.. The PTO felt it would be harder to reschedule the dinner due to so many different schedules for the volunteers and PTO members, so the decision was made to cancel it. We will possibly reschedule again for the Spring or next year. We will still have the pool table give away and there are still tickets available so get yours before time runs out. We thank everyone who was planning to attend the dinner or helped in other ways, your support of North Posey Jr. High is greatly appreciated. Anyone that pre-bought tickets can turn them in for a refund. Just contact the Jr. High office or call 431-6930. You must present your tickets for a refund.

Genetically disorganized people love drama My Aunt Tottie was extremely disorganized and was she ever dramatic! My mother was a BOP (Born Organized Person) and she used to roll her eyes over the way Aunt Tottie lived. She was a lousy housekeeper, wore baggy clothes day in and day out and rarely put on make-up, BUT when she did get cleaned up, she was a KNOCK OUT. Mom said when they were young; Aunt Tottie would get all gussied up to go out dancing and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d make an entrance that would drop jaws.

Mom said she looked just like Lauren Bacall.

My aunt loved to get a reaction from BOPs like my mom. I remember one time;

watching her in her messy kitchen, make orange juice from a can of frozen concentrate while she talked with my mom. She couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a clean spoon to stir the three cans of water into the orange lump of concentrate, so she just stuck her whole hand into the pitcher and stirred with it. My mother was horrified.

I think one of the payoffs to being disorganized is the reactions we create. We do love drama and the bigger the mess the more fantastic a clean-up will look. When you keep your home â&#x20AC;&#x153;company readyâ&#x20AC;? you lose the drama of being able to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tah Dah!â&#x20AC;? When you look

good all the time, you just look good all the time and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to hear the whistles and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow, you look fabulous!â&#x20AC;? We lose the exclamation marks when we get organized, so we need to get them somewhere else.

There are two places you can get them back. One is your creativity. Being disorganized can seem like a curse, but there is a precious gift in it and that is your creativity. In fact you probably already know that your creativity has gotten you into many messes, because when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in creative mode you lose track of time. When you get organized youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give up the explanation marks for

the contrasts between â&#x20AC;&#x153;beforeâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;after,â&#x20AC;? but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get them back with rave reviews from what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll create when you have a more organized life.

The other way to get your exclamation marks is immediate; by watching movies. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we love to go to the show, subscribe to Netflix, watch TV and buy DVDs. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably why prisons show movies. The inmates get to vicariously partake in the drama on the big screen and get it out of their systems. Part of my success at being organized is because I include watching at least two movies each week into my routine.

Your assignment (should you agree to take it) is to get your drama fix from a good movie this week, not from real life mess-ups. Make it a weekly must as you have fun getting organized. Then, when your life is organized youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start getting a parade of exclamation marks because the world needs what you have to create for it.

Valentine’s Day facts and superstitions Every February 14th people around the world exchange gifts, chocolates and romantic greetings for a day set aside for lovers. Many traditions are followed, all in the name of St. Valentine.

Still, people may not understand why such customs are upheld. Much of the history of Valentine’s Day and St. Valentine himself is shrouded in mystery, and much of what’s widely accepted is inaccurate. To set the record straight, here are some facts about the holiday. * Valentine’s Day is believed to have originated from a celebration in Rome during the fifth century. This celebration paid tribute to St. Valentine, a Catholic priest.

Other historians surmise it was a way to “Christianize” the pagan holiday of Luper-

calia, which was a fertility festival. Included in the traditions were boys and girls drawing names from a box and exchanging gifts. * The Catholic Church acknowledges at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus. * All of the stories surrounding St. Valentine -whether they are disputed or not -- paint him as a sympathetic and heroic individual. * Valentine’s Day greetings have been popular from the Middle Ages onward, though they have been usually verbal in nature. * The oldest known written valentine still in existence today was a poem written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his cap-
