Big projects coming down pipe for MV

By Dave Pearce Sometimes you have to be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.

After several years of begging, complaining, and planning and pleading, it appears that Highway 62 (Fourth Street) through Mount Vernon is on the verge of a major renovation and upgrade. That’s the good news. But sometimes progress is painful.

“The bid was let for the Fourth Street project through Mount Vernon at the middle of last month,” Mount Vernon Mayor Bill Curtis said.

“It could be starting very soon. There is going to be some inconvenience and discomfort that goes along with a project such as this. It is one of those things that definitely needs to be done but residents will have to remember that they asked for it whenever they get it.”

Besides the state road work that is upcoming, there is a major local project underway at State Street near Arby’s. The project is being conducted from the frontage road to Fourth Street.

That’s a city street and is not designed for all the semi traffic that goes through there. That’s what they are trying to bring up to date.

Curtis presented his State of the City Address to the Mount Vernon Kiwanis Club Tuesday at

noon at Western Hills Country Club, where he made the announcement regarding several projects coming down the pipe for Mount Vernon.

“In August, INDOT will be letting bids for the Mount Vernon Main Street Trail Project,” Curtis said. “That’s about a $4 million project.

That will involve redoing the sidewalks and

By Dave Pearce The Posey County Board of Zoning Appeals will examine several requests when it meets on Thursday evening at 5 p.m. at the Hovey House in Mount Vernon. Two of the requests involve taking and filling Internet orders. One involves filling and shipping gun orders over the Internet.

Redwine proposes refurbishing section of courthouse

By Lois Mittino Gray The Posey County Commissioners listened to a presentation from Circuit Court Judge James Redwine to refurbish the first floor of the county courthouse and consider using it as a magistrate court and video conferencing location. He presented a logical argument for his plan at the April 3, meeting of the Commission at the Hovey House, accompanied by Chief Probation Officer Rodney Fetcher.

The judge proposes to use the first floor of

the courthouse as another court room, particularly for the ‘burgeoning problem” of child in need of services, often called welfare, cases.

“We can easily and cheaply make another courtroom. Due to the foresight of past commissioners, the historical façade is preserved and ready for use right now. The beautiful furniture put into the courthouse when it was built in 1825 was replaced in 1893 and given to the city for use. Mount Vernon Mayor Bill Curtis called and offered to give it back to us and we

took it. I have a quote to get the furniture refinished and installed for $21,500 from T and T Woodworking. We can have it up and running in about sixty days” he speculated.

Judge Redwine said video conferencing can be set up there easily, as they have most equipment and would just need a few large screen televisions. This would be safer for the sheriff’s officers and more private and confidential for the jail inmates, since they would not have to be transported to the courthouse. The long term

plan entails hiring a full time court reporter and a part-time magistrate to help with the caseloads, possibly next year.

When asked, Judge Redwine assured the commissioner’s that the two displaced probation officers and a few other personnel, who presently have offices on the first floor, will be on board with moving. Mr. Fetcher has already moved up into the “Eagles Nest” office on the

Since we go a longer school day than required, the privilege allows us to ‘bank’ instructional time which adds up to a day,” he told the board.

The last day of the semester for students will now be Thursday, May 24. Only staff must come in on Friday, May 25 for the end of year breakfast, doing grades, cleaning and summer storage tasks. Graduation will be that Friday night at 7 p.m.

Heritage Artisans Days planned for April 18-20 Special to The News Historic New Harmony’s thirtyfourth annual Heritage Artisans Days will take place from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

April 18 through 20, in New Harmony.

The tri-state tradition celebrates 19th-century arts, crafts and industry through demonstrations and activities. Groups of third and fourth graders from Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky will experience what life was like in the 1800s through the eyes of a variety of period artisans.

“The program teaches students how over 200 years ago, a town like New Harmony was sustainable and relied on members of its community to provide vital resources to them as well as sell their goods with others in the region,” said Erin McCracken

Merris, community engagement manager.

This year, there are several new artisans demonstrating crafts at Heritage Artisan Days: A blacksmith will demonstrate metal working using a coal forge, anvil and various hand tools commonly used in a blacksmith shop 200 years ago.

The soapmaker and beekeeper will demonstrate soap making and beekeeping alongside some of their goats.

The woodworker will carve a chain out of a single piece of wood, showing step-by-step how the chain is made.

Posey County Alliance awards

By Lois Mittino Gray Members of the Posey County Alliance of the Southwest Indiana Chamber of Commerce gathered to honor some of its superstars and learn more about a local company at their annual “Report to the Posey County Business Community Dinner” on Wednesday, April 4. Alliance Chairman Beth McFadin Higgins welcomed about 150 guests to the event held at the New Harmony Inn Conference Center and Loren Evans delivered the invocation before the meal.

The Alliance gave out four “major awards” chosen by a five-person committee, after nominations were submitted by the Posey County community. Short video vignettes were shown to the audience about each winner before announcing names.

The Posey County Business Person of the Year plaque was presented to Phillip Wells, President at TMI Contractors and co-owner of Bud’s Hardware in Mount Vernon. Phillip has donated time, material, equipment and labor to various community projects in recent years and is working on the maintenance and beautification of the Mount Vernon Main Street storefronts. He has also supported local youth by coaching little league. Wells was recently named United Way 2017 Donor of the Year.

He gratefully accepted the Chamber award by saying he could not have done it without his great co-workers and his hardworking wife.

Next to the podium was the Posey County Teacher/Administrator of the Year presented to Ryan Nowak, an elementary teacher at Saint Wendel Catholic School. Mr. Nowak teaches fifth-grade classes and fourth-grade math. He is the Math Bowl coach and makes math fun for his students with Fraction Olympics, TicTac-Math, Math Easter Egg Hunt, and other activities. His video snippet showed the many service projects he has been involved with in his six years as a teacher, including cooking meals at the Ronald McDonald House, St. Jude fundraisers, and making thank you baskets for local farmers, complete with snacks and insulated mugs, while they work in the fields.

Nowak was visibly moved by the award as he choked back emotion and waved at his wife Meagan, holding 10-month-old daughter Rynlee, who was yelling “yay” out loudly to him.

He encouraged all teachers to go out and ask the community for any help they need because Posey County is so generous and he appreciates it.

The Business of the Year was presented to AstraZeneca. The leadership team at AstraZeneca made a commitment to be a good community partner by promoting volunteerism and taking an active role in participating in local

Mike Harrison, vice president of Valero Renewables, came in from San Antonio to be the keynote speaker at the Posey County Alliance of the Southwest Indiana Chamber of Commerce dinner meeting. He showed a map of all eleven ethanol production facilities Valero has in the Midwest.

Ryan Nowak, an elementary teacher at St. Wendel School, excitedly accepted his plaque as Posey County Teacher of the Year at the Posey County Chamber of Commerce Dinner. He thanked the community for helping him with student service projects.

Matthew Hines, Project Manager with BMX Technologies, was elated to receive the Posey County Young Professional of the Year award. “I’m happy that someone still thinks I’m young!” he told the amused audience as he began his thank you speech.

events. One of the main avenues used to help make an impact was the creation of team vitAliZe. This program encourages wellness and its mission is to positively impact the health of colleagues, families, and community. The employee engagement team of Cindy Staples, Sarah Howard, and Jennifer Loehr accepted the award on behalf of the successful program which began in April 2016.

The Posey County Young Professional of the Year is Matthew Hines, Project Manager at BWX Technologies, Inc. As he took the podium, he evoked a laugh when he said he was excited that someone still thought of him as “young.” Matthew has been with the company fifteen years and manages a new product line for BWXT, which is expected to yield significant growth.

He has developed strong customer and vendor networks with key business partners. He was cited for his volunteer work with youth sports leagues. Hines said he was much honored to receive the award as there are so many talented individuals working in this community.

All award plaques were presented by Becca Straub, Posey County Alliance Director, who is celebrating her first year in the position as “the new face of the Chamber in Posey County.”

Tara Barney, President and CEO of the Southwest Indiana Chamber of Commerce, was introduced to the group as she is brand new, serving only two and a half weeks in the position. She was described as a “perfect fit” for the four county chamber whose motto is, “Our business is to help your business.”

Luke Leder, of Valero Renewables, introduced keynote speaker Mike Harrison, a company vice-president from San Antonio, Texas, where the company is headquartered. Harrison explained that Valero Energy Corporation is a large company with over 10,000 employees. It is ranked number 37 on the Fortune 500 list.

“Ethanol production is only one of three business segments of our company. One, we are the largest independent crude oil refiner in the country, refining 3.1 million barrels a day.

We also do master limited partnership work

for tax advantages. The third segment is the renewables section and we have eleven ethanol plants around the county very successfully using corn to produce ethanol,” he said, using charts and maps to illustrate his points.

Harrison said success with the high amount of American ethanol sent abroad lies with the American farmer. “They are the most effective in the world. They can produce more bushel yield per acre at a lower cost than anyone. No one can touch them,” he praised.

The Mount Vernon plant was purchased from Adventine in March 2014 and was started up by August of that year. He said 450 million dollars has been paid out to farmers for corn since 2014. Sixty-five persons are directly employed at the local plant and the seven million dollar payroll is good for the entire community. He said the company and its employees donated over $44,000 to the local United Way and its Benefit for Children Golf Tournament netted $35,000 for local children’s charities.

The dinner wrapped up with Chairman Higgins noting that all award winners and successful businesses tonight seem to have a common theme. “They all feel their success is due to their community involvement.”

A list of administrators for next school year was appointed including: Loren Evans, Director of Business, Technology, and Transportation; David Frye, Director of Buildings and Grounds; Kyle Jones, Director of Curriculum, Grants and Testing; Randall Woodall, Assistant Director of Transportation; Jacquelyn Maier, Director of Special Services; William Stein, Director of Information Systems; Elizabeth Johns, Principal, Farmersville Elementary School; Greg DeWeese, Principal, Marrs Elementary School; Amanda Wilson, Principal, West Elementary School; Marc Hostetter, Assistant Principal, Mount Vernon Junior High School; Matthew Thompson Principal, Mount Vernon High School; Justin Fischer Assistant Principal, Mount Vernon High School; and Leigh Ann Latshaw, Athletic Director. The position of principal at the junior high school is not yet filled.

In other board action: • Mount Vernon Police Chief Tony Alldredge attended the meeting to explain his plan to request a grant for a School Resource Officer at the junior/senior high school. He is working on a request to the City Council to use Public Safety Tax monies that will cover ¾ of the officer’s pay and his department would

cover the remainder. The purpose would be threefold: education, informal counsellor, and law enforcement needs. The idea was wellreceived by the board and the chief said he would get back to them, as it is just in the talking stages now.

• The board granted permission to allow students in DECA, (Distributive Education Clubs of America), to travel to the International DECA Competition in Atlanta from April 2125, 2018 and for students with the choral group Angelus to travel for concerts from June 14-21, 2018 to Maryland and Virginia. Both involved Sunday travel which requires board approval.

• The board adopted a corporate resolution authorizing Carol Evans and Charlotte Johnson to manage the MSD School Lunch Extracurricular Account. It was noted requiring two signatures is a good method of checks and balances.

• The board adopted a resolution authorizing use of a 2018 CPF Emergency Fund allocation to replace the gym, cafeteria and second story roofs at Hedges Central Elementary School in an amount not to exceed $110,000. Another resolution was adopted authorizing the use of the same fund to replace the chiller barrel at West Elementary School in an amount not to exceed $40,000. They are presently investigat-

ing why the barrel froze up on it, but whether it is a warranty item or not, it is necessary to get it worked on now. “Someday it will stop raining and get hot and they will want it,” mused Board Member Kathy Weinzapfel.

The current amount in the CPF Fund unencumbered is $248,867, so both repairs will leave a little less than $100,000 in the account.

• Information to the board included the lunch menu and the school lunch fund report.

• The board reviewed proposed changes for 2018-19 to the high school handbook, the junior high handbook, and the Rights and Responsibilities for the MSD of Mount Vernon.

The board was asked to read them and give input for the next meeting. The Rights and Responsibilities will be placed on a future agenda for possible action as that concerns policy which is their mien. Kopatich said the junior high handbook had the most changes. The junior high dress code applies to dances, too • Dr. Kopatich honored the achievements of the Evansville Philharmonic Symphony of Color art contest winners and the Discovery Quiz Bowl winners.

• The next board meeting is set for Monday, April 16 at 5:45 p.m. in the Mt. Vernon Jr. High School library.

Phillip Wells accepts his plaque as Posey County Business Owner of the Year at the annual Southwestern Indiana Chamber of Commerce dinner Wednesday night at the New Harmony Conference Center. At the podium, Wells thanked his co-workers at TMI and Bud’s Hardware and his wife for his business success.

‘MSDMV’ continued from Page A1 In personnel matters, the board accepted resignations from Laura Kirtman as school psychologist and Matthew Rebeck as Assistant Director of Special Services. They accepted the intent to retire from Kimberly Higgins and Deborah Isham. “Both will be sorely missed,” Kopatich said. All resignations and retirements are effective at the end of this school year.

They confirmed the employment of Amy Ross as a food service worker at the high school, replacing Ramon “Tony” Quiles. Dr. Kopatich said many positions are posted or will be soon and he hopes to have everything filled by summertime. The vacancy for junior high principal, created by the resignation of Chad Rodgers, closes April 6. The coach/teacher position at the high school vacated by Marc Hostetter closes April 13. There are seven elementary positions open and the Assistant Director of Special Services position, too. Kopatich said he will be attending several job recruitment fairs on campuses this month.

The board adopted a resolution permitting seven staff members to attend six educational meetings ranging from the Indiana Family and Consumer Science Spring Conference to a UNITE Users Group and a Special Needs Day at Holiday World.

Mount Vernon Junior High School students practice last Wednesday for their production of Beauty and the Beast Jr. scheduled for April 13 at 7 p.m. and April 14 at 3 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center.

This year’s event on September 7-9 promises to be another activity packed festival with the traditional parades, music, food booths, crafts, historical demonstrations, car and bike shows, fireworks, and the 10th Anniversary of the Smoke on the Ohio BBQ Competition to name a few.

Toby’s fight ended in the most peaceful of ways food from a place called

B Farmer’s Dog, which C P came overnight, packed Madeleine, in last week’s column, I began telling the story about Toby, the sweet English Bulldog. He will be sorely missed at this year’s PC Pound Puppies Spring Show on April 14. I was just one of many people who loved that dog. He was well known. His story is sadly another horror tale about how so many dogs are neglected or abused. If his original owner had taken him to a vet when it was necessary, he would not have had to suer so much.

Despite his deafness and other maladies, he had a big personality and embraced life as fully as he could. At least his last years were ďŹ lled with love and care from Kelli and Jason and so many others.

In the ďŹ rst part, I told of his digestive issues and hernia surgery. He gradually began to re-gain some weight. Kelli either cooked for him or ordered his human grade fresh

in dry ice. After every vet visit, Toby got to visit Chick-ďŹ l-a for nuggets. He continued going to daycare until Christmas.

He had now begun to cough and was diagnosed with bronchiectasis, which is a serious lung condition.

The bronchi had become permanently narrowed, which explained his numerous bouts of pneumonia. Kelli and Jason had to get air puriďŹ ers for their home, and stop using any sprays or aerosols.

Several times a day, they had to do “tapping� on his chest to help loosen phlegm. After this, Toby could no longer go to daycare.

He had managed to gain weight back to 40 pounds.

He never looked the same as he did before his illness and was never really “healthy� again. He got his personality back, and they just did all they could to care for him.

The last week in Febru-

Toby ary, Kelli noticed he was lethargic and it looked like his abdomen was full.

After being examined by Dr. Ramos, she suspected it was his heart and he was retaining uid. Some of the uid was sent to a lab and they waited anxiously. A few days later, the doctor asked them

These friends, who grew up in Hawaii together from ďŹ fth-grade to junior year in high school, gathered in New Harmony to celebrate Lori Espenlaub and Lisa Harrison’s birthdays.

to take him to Metropolitan Veterinary Specialists in Louisville for an ultrasound.

It was conďŹ rmed that it was his heart.

The doctor there made him more comfortable by draining some of the uid and he went home with medication. They were to return

on the following Monday to see a cardiologist. As expected, the cardiologist gave them a guarded prognosis of his months to live. By now, this sweet boy was tired and his big heart was tired.

On his last night, he ate half a rotisserie chicken, and Kelli took him to bed as usual. She propped his head on a blanket, which is the way he liked to sleep.

When she checked on him at 5 a.m., she realized he was gone. She wished she had stayed with him and held him, but had really thought he had more time.

Everyone he ever met loved him and there was an outpouring of grief and tears, including Dr. Ramos.

They took him to Advent for cremation. I am just one of many folks who will never forget this brave dog.

I wanted to tell his story for all of the folks who knew and loved him. We at PC Pound Puppies are planning to establish a Toby Fund in his honor. Perhaps donations

can help secure treatment for future dogs who need medical treatment, hopefully in time to save their lives.

As always, I implore everyone who reads this to come and support our eorts to save as many as possible.

Attending the show, and other fundraisers, will help make better and healthier lives for many dogs. Please do not hesitate to report any incidents you might know of, involving animal abuse or abandonment.

Madeleine, when you ultimately get a puppy of your own, you will give your heart away, just as Kelli did to Toby. It is never easy to say goodbye to a beloved best friend, but hopefully Toby’s story will inspire others to do their part in saving more dogs.

When you walk into the Ribeyre Gym on Saturday, listen really closely, and maybe you can hear a big deep bulldog’s voice thanking you for coming and remembering him.

Posey FSA adopts 2018 maintenance rates The Posey Farm Service Agency (FSA) County Office Committee adopted the 2018 maintenance default rates that were set by the Indiana State FSA Committee for farms enrolled. Farms participating in the annual Agriculture Risk Coverage and Price Loss Coverage Program (ARC/PLC), in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) along, with other programs administered by the Farm Service Agency are subject to these penalties for failure to maintain the acreage in a workmanlike manner.

The penalties are $18.25 per acre times three (3) for the non-control of weeds (including noxious weeds), insects and or rodents. The penalty for wind or water erosion is $20.00 per acre times three (3). These penalties apply on all acreage, including both cropland and noncropland on a farm enrolled in any of the

USDA programs. The dollar per acre amount is considered to be the cost of taking the preventative measures without being fined and the multiplier is an incentive for enrollees to

take the necessary action to regain control on their own.

Seven noxious weeds in the are listed on the Natural Resources Conservation Service website. They are namely

Canada thistle, purple loosestrife, multiflora rose, burcucumber, Columbus grass, shattercane and johnsongrass.

These are the common names given to these weeds.

Relay for Life funds helping local cancer patients

By Pam Robinson Posey County cancer patients can witness to the value — indeed, the necessity — of the annual Mount Vernon Relay for Life. As 2018 Relay co-chairs Shelley Hargrove and Jessica Wright make clear, the dollars brought in through Mount Vernon Relay for Life fundraising stay in Posey County and bless the lives of real Posey people.

In 2017 alone, Hargrove details, Posey County cancer patients received funds from Mount Vernon Relay for Life for a wealth of resources. Twenty-two cancer patients were helped with 60 programs or services from the American Cancer Society. Four individuals stayed 17 nights free during treatments at Hope Lodge — as Hargrove explains, the “Ronald McDonald House” for cancer patients and their caregivers. Five women attended “Look Good, Feel Better,” a program designed to help raise the self-esteem of cancer patients after their treatments. Two women received free wigs through the American Cancer Society. Five patient health manager kits were distributed also.

“I just like to make sure people know what we do in our county really does help people in our county,” stated Hargrove after citing the statistics.

“It doesn’t go into a big pot. It stays right here locally invested in our Posey County residents,” added Wright.

Hargrove and Wright understand a successful fight against cancer is priceless. So this year, they’ve raised the bar for the Mount Vernon community to contribute to their local Relay for Life. Their fundraising goal is $61,000.

Once again this year, the Mount Vernon Relay for Life will be held at Riverbend Park. Festivities start at noon on Saturday, May 12, and run until closing ceremonies end at 10 p.m.

The May 12 date is earlier than in years past when Relay was traditionally held in mid-June.

Co-chairs Hargrove and Wright state the earlier date appeals to Mount Vernon Relay participants and has increased attendance during event hours.

They do admit, however, this year’s Relay is ending two hours earlier than the midnight hour closing. Overnight weekend Mount Vernon Relay for Life campaigns ended a few years ago.

The co-chairs want to see Mount Vernon residents and guests at the May 12 Relay for Life at Riverbend Park. Until then, a series of small events have been promoted to raise money for the Mount Vernon Relay coffers. Already, the American Legion has sponsored “Pink Out Bingo,” the MVJHS volleyball team has held a fundraising night and the Elks held their “Trivia Night” and pork chop dinner.

Mount Vernon residents may still donate and receive take-away value at three more small events being held this month before the May 12 Relay. This Thursday, April 12, a Ribeye Sandwich Cookout will be held at McKim’s IGA from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. A ribeye steak sandwich with chips goes for $7, and all proceeds benefit the Mount Vernon Relay for Life.

Residents wanting to preorder must do so no later than today by calling or texting Brittaney Johnson at (812) 319-9027. Free Mount Vernon delivery is available for orders of 10 and up.

Early registration has closed for the 5K Run/ Walk at Riverbend Park on Saturday, April 21, starting at 8 a.m. Nonetheless, sign up is still allowed with forms available at Dr. Lee’s office, Solar Escape and United Bank. For online registration, individuals may visit https:// runsignup.com/Race/IN/Mount Vernon/relayforlife5kmtvernon.

Finally, McKim’s IGA will host one of its

popular Ribfests on Thursday, April 26, with a portion of the sales to benefit Mount Vernon Relay for Life.

As Hargrove and Wright shared, this year’s May 12 Mount Vernon Relay for Life promises a family-friendly, fun-filled day of celebration and remembrance with its “Carnival for a Cure.” Among the featured activities are fire truck rides, chalk art contest, zorb balls and carnival games, including water balloons and hungry hippo. Giveaways will occur while participants enjoy food from a variety of vendors or homemade ice cream, catch the entertainment, browse the vendor fair or watch the variety show.

Like last year, upwards of fifty themed baskets are expected to be up for grabs at the silent auction from noon-9:30 p.m.

Another special activity is the car show featuring classic and sporty cars. The Pony Express Mustang and Classic Ford Club will host this show starting at 4 p.m.

As always, the opening ceremonies starting at noon will include the Survivor Lap and the presentation of the Courage Award to a brave cancer survivor. Nominations for the Courage Award are due by this Friday, April 13. Hargrove said she and Wright may be contacted at their emails provided at the end of this article for information.

A complimentary Survivor Luncheon will be served as always. To register for the luncheon, survivors may contact Melody Oeth at oethfnp@twc.com.

The Luminaria Ceremony starting at 9 p.m. will close the Relay.

This year, individuals or families may also purchase a purple ribbon either “In Honor of” or “In Memory of” a loved one for $50. Hargrove and Wright mention these ribbons will

Sermon of the Week: It’s ok to Read the End of the Book

By Pastor Timothy Johnson When our Easter evening services ended, there was a surprise when everyone saw an inch of snow was on the ground. By morning there were four. Many people wish for a white Christmas, but few, if any, want a white Easter. The fresh layer of snow should melt by afternoon, the highs are predicted into the fifties today, but I had to think about how cold this winter was as compared to the standard.

This week’s column is not about the unpredictable Indiana weather, but it does have a little to do with how I think.

The Easter snow made me think of the global warming argument. On one side, people say there is no such thing as global warming; climate goes through cycles and in a decade or two the pendulum will swing back the other way. The other side claims that with all the pollutants man is putting in the environ-

ment the earth is warming, and we will all be cooked sometime in the future.

Has anyone read the end of the book to see what happens?

The Bible tells us of a seven-year tribulation period that is coming. One of the plagues of the seven years is immense heat. Revelation 16:8-9 describes temperatures so hot that “men were scorched with great heat.”

Is that plague the result of global warming? My answer will begin with a question - Does it matter? God has already proclaimed this scorching heat will take place; therefore there is nothing the human race can do to stop it.

The point I am trying to make is that the Bible tells us of many things that will happen in the future. There is nothing we can do to stop these events from happening, but we can prepare for them.

Real life example – we know when a hurricane is coming.

People living in the area, will put plywood on the win-

dows, store extra food, water, candles, and other necessities; some may even evacuate, but no one can stop the storm from arriving.

A few of the Biblical prophecies yet to come to pass are the rapture of the church, two separate invasions of Israel (three if you count the battle of Armageddon), the rise of the Antichrist to world power, a one world currency, the seven-year tribulation period, the return of Jesus Christ, His 1,000 year reign, and the various judgment days.

When these events occur is unknown, but with few exceptions, we know the sequence of events. The rapture of the church (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18; 1 Corinthians 15:51-54) will be the key that sets most everything else into motion. Shortly after the rapture, the Antichrist will sign the treaty that starts the Tribulation period (Daniel

9:27), his rise to prominence and power is probably triggered by the first of those invasions of Israel (Psalm 83; Amos 1-2). The second invasion of Israel appears to correspond with the sixth seal of the Tribulation Period (compare Ezekiel 38:20-23 with Revelation 6:12-17). The mark of the beast controls buying and selling leading to the belief of a one-world currency (Revelation 13:16-18).

The Tribulation Period ends with the battle of Armageddon and the second coming of Jesus Christ (Revelation 19:11-21).

If a hurricane were coming, you would take the time to board up the windows. At some point, a choice needs to be made - either store up on the essentials or evacuate to a safer location. You would prepare for the storm.

Are you prepared for the coming Biblical storm? I am not trying to be doom and

punishment for all our sins (Isaiah 53:4-9) and with this, the Judge, God the Father, is satisfied with the payment of our sin debt (Isaiah 53:10-11; 1 Peter 1:18-19). It is then through faith the righteousness of Christ is applied to us, and we appear before the Judge with a pardon for all the sins we have committed (Philippians 3:9). With this pardon, if you are alive when the rapture happens, you will be rescued from all the doom and gloom that follows.

gloom here. These events may not happen till after our lifetimes, but judgment day is a day we will all face whether we live to see the Rapture or not.

Here is the thing about judgment day – we are all guilty. For some reason, many people think if they do not commit specific sins God will not judge them. If someone arrested for excessive parking tickets defends himself with the fact that he has never committed murder; well, that is all well and good, but he is still guilty of the crime accused.

‘Just Dang Good Food’: New food trailer ready to feed Mount Vernon community

By Pam Robinson Mount Vernon newlyweds Ted and Nancy (Stratemeyer) Denning are really cooking now. On Wednesday, April 25, Ted will start a first for Mount Vernon with his 8x18 foot apple green trailer bearing the logo, “Uncle Ted’s – Just Dang Good Food.”

The trailer houses a kitchen complete with fountain drinks. It’s ready for business Monday – Friday to feed lunch to a hungry public from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The food trailer will be reserved for only Sabic employees one day a week at their plant site and for only Babcock & Wilcox, or BWXT, employees one more day a week at their plant site. In another first, Ted states, his food trailer is the first BWXT has ever allowed on its plant site.

The remaining three days a week, Uncle Ted’s will serve “just dang good food” to the public from a central location in Mount Vernon. The trailer will set on the empty lot just east of the old Whistle Stop Café where Walnut and Main streets intersect.

For her part, Nancy will continue to serve such large

area events as corporate and industrial gatherings and meetings, weddings, reunions and more through A Touch of Home Catering. Located in New Harmony, her business has brought delicious meals to the community for 15 years now.

Both Uncle Ted’s and A Touch of Home Catering plan to set up at area festivals, most notably at Mount Vernon River Days and Kunstfest. Ted’s Cajun chicken and dumplings and Nancy’s apple pie fries are sell-out favorites there.

Uncle Ted’s will offer a crowd-pleasing menu all his own. A special home cooked plate lunch will top the menu each day at an affordable $7.50. Ted says the Friday standard will be fish.

Otherwise, the daily plate lunch special may rotate with mini meat loafs, chicken and dumplings, pork chops and ham ‘n beans with homemade fried potatoes.

Items always available on the menu include a generous variety of hearty sandwiches priced from $3.50 - $7.50 and hand-patted 90 percent lean, one-third pound burgers on buttered, toasted buns, start-

ing at $6. In winter, Uncle Ted’s will chase the cold away with an offering of seasonal soups and Cajun sausage chicken and dumplings as well.

The exact weekly schedule for Uncle Ted’s will be posted soon on the business Facebook page, Uncle Ted’s Just Dang Good Food. Uncle Ted’s Facebook page will list also the plate lunch special of the day, the menu and a phone number for the added convenience of advance ordering.

Among the menu offerings are such sandwiches as Philly cheese steak, strombolis, grilled cheese, grilled ham and cheese, real grilled chicken breast (not chicken patties) and the veggie Cuban.

Uncle Ted’s processes round steak for his Phillies. He satisfies veggie lovers with the Portobello mushroom-based Cuban, marinated with zucchini and yellow squash and smothered in melted cheese.

Naming his food business Uncle Ted’s allows Ted to tip his hat to his family. He says coworkers and friends as well as family have called him Uncle Ted ever since he and his nephew, Billy, worked on

a residential construction site together with Shawn Duckworth. Billy always called “Uncle Ted” when he needed something. The name stuck with everyone, including, of course, his ever growing number of nieces and nephews.

A Point Township native, Ted hopes to serve down home cooking — “just dang good food” — reminiscent of Gundi’s and the Gathering restaurants once open in Mount Vernon.

“I’ve always wanted a restaurant,” he says, “but with Ted and Nancy Denning peek out the service window of the overhead, it’s a tough Uncle Ted’s Just Dang Good Food trailer. The Dennings choice.”

His goal is to serve res- plan for the trailer to bring another lunch meal option to taurant-quality food from his Mount Vernon starting Wednesday, April 25. food trailer.

Success for the Seventh Annual Bowl for Kids’ Sake event Special to the News The Seventh annual Bowl for Kids’ Sake event was a huge success. As a result of the generosity of bowlers, sponsors, and donors throughout Posey County and the Tri-State area, over $26,000 was raised to support Big

Brothers Big Sisters programs in Posey County and to also provide for new child-mentor matches. There were a total of 189 bowlers at the four sessions held Sunday, April 8. Posey County, thank you for your generosity, support and concern for our kids.

‘Projects’ continued from Page A1 streetlights and the entire streetscape from Water Street to Sixth Street. There will be a pocket park included on the north side of the current City Hall and there will be added parking spaces in there.”

Plans also call for cleaning and revamping of the monument that faces west at the Posey County Courthouse. Members of the Mount Vernon Garden Club have graciously donated their time and talent to helping make the area around the courthouse attractive over many years.

“The current ADA wall come down and will be tapered,” Curtis said. “There will be some sort of a plaza down there. We will maintain and restore any of the work around that area that the Garden Club does.”

Another project which was made possible by good advice from engineering firms and good foresight from the city has allowed hundreds of thousands of dollars in street repairs to be done over the past several months.

“We were fortunate that we had our five-year plan in place and when grant money became available, we were able to take advantage of it because we were basically ready to start the projects,” Curtis explained.

In other good news regarding the city’s future: •The City of Mount Vernon is wrapping up the Blight Elimination Program where Mayoral Assistant Sherry Willis has helped spearhead the tearing down of 17 Mount Vernon properties which have been eyesores and sources of rodents and other animals. Curtis said he would like to see several more of the eyesores come down but at the end of the BEP, those houses will come down at a much slower pace because “it’s on the city’s dime now,” Curtis said. The Blight Elimination Program was a state-funded grant to help improve the appearance of cities

‘Refurbish’ continued from Page A1 throughout the State of Indiana •Training at all Mount Vernon City Departments has been increased and will increase even more over the coming months and years.

“The Fire Department has put in nearly 1200 hours of training in the last year and the Police Department has been active in training inside the school buildings on weekends,” Curtis said.

He indicated that the Police Department now has four Certified Indiana Police Academy Instructors on the force. There are four or five areas where they have certification for specific areas and there is now a department member who is certified in Active Shooting Instructor and trainer. A full-time officer is now available to Mount Vernon Schools and both the city and the school corporation are looking at what can be done to add school resource officers to the schools in the near future.

•Significant improvements have been made in both the Mount Vernon Water and Sewer systems. Curtis indicated that improvements are reaching the point to where city officials can give industries looking to come into the city quick and accurate information regarding what Mount Vernon can offer them in the way of utilities and infrastructure. Another water storage facility is in the works that will be located on the east side of the city.

“We are trying to get new subdivisions and new houses because we need them,” Curtis said. “We want to get away from that old reputation of boil orders and no infrastructure. We have gotten away from it some already. We haven’t had a city-wide boil order in a number of years.”

Curtis explained that the City of Mount Vernon has some 47 miles of water lines, some dated in the late 1800s. A plan is in place to replace areas of lines as money and other resources become available.

‘CISMA’ continued from Page A1 we can educate others about them, and forming work groups to help with their control,” Zengler explained.

Emily Finch of SICIM (Southern Indiana Cooperative Invasive Management) will speak for about a half hour on invasives in general and then Zengler will talk about specific invaders in our local area at the meeting.

An invasive species is a plant, fungus, or animal species that is not native to a specific location, either introduced into an area by accident or brought on purpose, that has a tendency to spread to a degree believed to cause damage to the environment, human economy or human health. Having no natural parasites or predators, they often spread rapidly and out-compete the natives who live there and they die out.

For example, Zebra mussels and sea lamprey may be here by accident, but autumn olive and Kudzu vine were brought here due to perceived usefulness. Kudzu vine was brought to America from China in the 1930’s to stabilize soil erosion on highway banks. Now it takes over entire acres, especially in the South, growing up trees and over abandoned cars and houses, letting nothing else grow. Even dandelion was brought here purposefully by Europeans to grow in gardens to roast the root for coffee substitute and eat as early spring greens.

Participants will discuss things like Johnson Grass, Reed Canary Grass, Amur or Bush Honeysuckle, Purple Loosestrife, Nodding Thistle, Garlic Mustard, Bradford Pear and Wintercreeper among others. Those who form the CISMA can decide whether they want to hold regular meetings, elect officers, and have planned work days. Groups around Indianapolis often meet in the spring to have Garlic Mustard “pulling parties” before it goes to seed. A

work day might also involve physically cutting and spraying control methods.

Miss Zengler’s position is funded through a Clean Water Indiana Grant. She is stationed out of the Vanderburgh County Soil and Water District office by North Park on the north side of Evansville. This is the first full-time professional job for the recent graduate from the University of Saint Francis in Fort Wayne.

There, she double majored in Biology and Environmental Science and played softball. She is a native of Portage, Indiana and played basketball and softball in high school in the duneland town.

She worked after graduation as a seasonal employee of the Department of Natural Resource’s Division of Nature Preserves. Assigned to Gene Stratton Porter’s Limberlost Swamp Memorial, she worked outdoors clearing burning bush, reed canary grass and bush honeysuckles. She did an internship in college doing similar control measures at the Eagle Marsh/ Little River Wetland Project up north.

Before staring into her busy new lifestyle, Heather and friends did some traveling. She viewed the recent solar eclipse from a campground in the Grand Teton National Forest in Wyoming and rode horses through the foothills there. She toured around Ireland for a week, visiting cities and sights, such as the imposing Giant’s Causeway and Cliffs of Mohr.

“The scenery was so beautiful. I just loved driving around there and looking at the plants, of course!”

Zengler would like you to make a reservation if you would like to attend the CISMA meeting by calling either: Posey County Soil and Water District office at 812.838.4191, ext. 3 or Vanderburgh County SWD at 812.423.4426, ext 3.

‘Heritage Days’ continued from Page A1 New Harmony welcomes an average of 3,000 visitors for Heritage Artisan Days each year. While the event aligns with grade-school curriculum, it is also open to the public each day. The afternoons provide a wonderful opportunity for families and homeschool classes to learn about some of Indiana’s first communities.

“We’ve had college students and adults visit New Harmony and remember coming here as a child for this program,” said Leslie Townsend, community engagement director. “This will be our thirty-fourth year for hosting this event and we’ve impacted a lot of people over those years.”

The Commissioners agreed to consider his request for up to $25,000 and set up a joint meeting with the Posey County Council members on Tuesday, May 1 to consider the issue and possible funding sources. “I would like to look at some past records from 2015, 16, 17 and the first quarter of 2018 to figure out where this money could be coming from, after all, the devil is in the details, ” Commission President Jim Alsop stated. He asked Judge Redwine to attend the joint meeting to answer questions if need be. “I will. I know we’re on the same page,” the judge observed.

Commissioner Carl Schmitz asked the judge to get another bid on the cost of reworking the old 1825 furniture for installation. “I would like you to keep it local if you can. I know there are some woodworkers you might contact in New Harmony that does this type of thing,” he said.

In other commission action: • Deputy Sheriff Tom Latham requested money to purchase software and equipment for the National Incident–Based Reporting System or NIBRS. The system captures details on each single crime incident, as well as on separate offenses within the same incident and goes deeper providing context to crimes, House Bill 1199 was signed on March 29 requiring the use of the system, beginning on July 1 around the state. The total cost is $11,581.00 from Spillman Technologies of Salt Lake City, Utah, for expert installation and training staff as needed to ensure smooth upgrade transition. The Commissioners approved paying for it in three years, with an annual payment of $3,860.33 from their budget. The annual maintenance fee will come out of the Sheriff’s budget.

• Joe Mattingly, Posey County Jail Construction Project Manager, submitted seven March jail pay applications totaling $498,425.90.

They are Weddle Brothers: $281,031, Pauly Jail: $19,221.60, Deig Brothers: $24,934.50, Midwest HVAC: $54,700, Mel Kay Electric: $65,000, Garmong: $32,471.60, and Mel Kay Data Wiring: $21,067.20. All seven invoices were approved for payment as they were screened by Byron Sanders and align with contracts. Sanders’ invoice for March work at 40 hours x $50.00/hour for a total of $2,000 was also approved.

• The jail report announced the kitchen equipment was arriving today and the kitchen should be up and running by the end of the month.

“Things are winding down at the jail and we expect to come in on time and under budget,” Mattingly said. “That’s what we like to hear,” President Alsop replied jovially. The ribbon cutting is set for Saturday, May 19 at 11 a.m.

• Highway Superintendent Steve Schenk reported that INDOT plans to replace a culvert on Indiana 68, just outside Poseyville. It will be closed from 7 days to possibly two weeks.

A detour will be in place. Schenk said photos will be taken of Water Tank Road before and after the project, as they might possibly be reimbursed if this causes damage to the road. It is scheduled to be paved. Schenk said that roads will be chip and sealed if this rain ever stops!

• The Central States contract for tower installation from Barter to Middle Mount Vernon Road was submitted by 911 Director Sabrina Harms. The commissioners approved it and will sign it when the contract is received with the new changes made. Harms said the dispatcher renovation project is 80-85 percent complete.

“Next week is National Dispatcher Week. Give one a hug,” she said in conclusion.

• EMS Director Chuck Thompson reported his department had advertised last month that they will do community outreach and talk to any group on a variety of subjects, but so far they have had zero calls. His group would love to do some outreach work.

• Alsop read the Animal Control Officer’s Report of 39 complaints and 13 animals picked up this past month.

• Carrie Parmenter of the Posey County Soil and Water Conservation District introduced new Invasive Species Specialist Heather Zengler to the commissioners and invited them to a public meeting on Thursday, April 12 at 6:30 p.m. at the Armstrong Rec Center to form a CISMA. CISMA is an acronym for a Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area • Emergency Management Agency Director Larry Robb reported that the Wabash and Ohio Rivers will crest on Sunday and some roads are closed due to flooding.

• The February Clerk of the Works invoice for $11,667.95 was approved.

After a time, all this miscellany begins to take over our lives. We run out of space to showcase our collections, those treasures that we think we need. And we buy bags and boxes and bins and closets and shelves and drawers and cabinets to store our treasures. And when that isn’t enough, we have to ďŹ nd someplace to hold the excess. So we rent a storage facility.

According to the self-storage industry, 9.4% of households rent a unit at an average cost of about $90 a month. That’s over $1,000 a year. And the demand continues to increase. In 2014 construction of units was around $1 billion per year.

By 2016 those costs were near $3.5 billion per year. That’s a lot of real estate for leftovers, wouldn’t you say?

I had a storage unit for nearly seven years. We remodeled the second storage of our house and had to clear out the attic, so we rented a facility for a little while. Seven years of little while. And we needed something that was stored maybe three times. I emptied that unit about a year ago – into my garage.

I found some items that belonged to family members, and those were returned. Many items are being used by others in the community as I made many trips to the Thrift Shop.

And last week I visited a local commercial shredding facility and shredded 35 years of papers that the IRS said only needed to be kept for seven years. OK, I’m an overachiever. What can I say.

Margareta Magnusson recently released a book titled “The Gentle Art of Swedish Cleaning,� the process of organizing, decluttering,

B B R

Clutter. Stu. Junk. Treasures.

Whatever you call all the things we humans seem to accumulate and hang on to as being important, said “stu,â€? in some cases, is taking over and overwhelming our lives.

Growing up, my mother made sure I knew how to keep my “nestâ€? clean – do laundry and put away the clean clothes, pick up any messes I made, put away games and toys as I ďŹ nished using them or playing with them. As with many children when growing up, I knew how, but didn’t always follow those lessons.

After I married and had children, I wondered how she was able to do all she did. She worked in my dad’s business, cared for ďŹ ve daughters, kept an immaculate house (except for the times said daughters forgot their lessons!), sewed, quilted, gardened, took part in many church activities, attended all the events we found ourselves involved in, and‌ whew, she was busy!

As parents we want to hold onto memories of our children’s lives as long as we can. A lock of hair from the ďŹ rst haircut, papers from school, cards and pictures made with love by our sons and daughters, ribbons and awards for academics, sports, music, and on and on.

As adults we keep cards from friends and family, we collect baskets or antique dolls or tractors or pets or books or, well, you know what you collect. We buy new furniture and can’t bring ourselves to throw the old in the trash, or even give it away. We buy new clothes and keep the ones that no longer ďŹ t.

We take pictures, some of which we print, some stay on the SIM cards.

and giving away your belongings.

While this sounds morbid, when you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. The idea is to slowly begin decluttering so your death isn’t such a burden to those you leave behind.

My death is not, as far as I know, imminent. However, my kids don’t want all my stu. They probably don’t even want some of my stu.

So I am working through (some) of the excess that is cluttering my life.

I’m organizing books and pictures.

I’m sorting excess fabric and yarn.

OK, that one’s going to take some more time.

And I am looking through the memories of my life, the pictures,

and ribbons, and cards that remind me how I got to be the person I am today. I have scrapbooks and photo books and autograph books. I have pressed owers from long-forgotten dances. I have mementos from the childhood of my daughter and son.

These pieces of my past are important to me. But only to me. The pieces that are most important will, for a while, stay in a small cupboard in my bedroom where I can look at them if and when I feel the need. At some point, I will put them in a box with a note placed inside stating that the box and its contents are to be tossed when I’m not around to see it happen

Mementos are the special reminders of who we were and where we’ve been and how we made it to today. Life, it has been said, is about the journey and not the destination.

Genetics of my family suggest the possibility of another 30 years or so of life for me. Lots of time to acquire and retire more stu that has meaning for me. For now, I am enjoying my journey, and the new paths I am ďŹ nding and exploring.

Over the course of the last couple of years I ďŹ nd I enjoy the decluttering, the simplifying. My life is now more about the special people in my life. It’s about the joy in those relationships. And that is all that matters.

The Physical Plant

Tuesday, April 3, 2018 Chief Probation Officer and court factotum Rodney Fetcher and I met with the Posey County Board of Commissioners to discuss the auxiliary courtroom on the first floor of the courthouse. You may recall we have been working toward creating a small but fully functioning courtroom that can greatly enhance public access to court services while aiding the Posey Superior and Circuit Courts to concentrate on other important matters of concern. The elements of an American courtroom have changed little since the 1600’s: a judge’s bench and judge, places for the opposing parties (usually two), a court reporter with means to keep a record, a witness area and some public seating.

If citizens from Salem, Massachusetts were to hold a witch trial in a contemporary courtroom it would require only a few minutes for them to acclimate to the electricity and technology because these are simply ways we now enhance the attempted delivery of justice; the same justice sought for hundreds of years. Of course, justice is not always the result, but the physical plant is not to blame.

In Posey County, Indiana we have two fully functioning courts of general jurisdiction that often need to have people appear who are incarcerated or may be expert witnesses who have to travel great distances. Our goal of a newly refurbished courtroom would have video conferencing availability connected with our new jail and perhaps unlimited other locations.

There would no longer be a need for several sheriff’s deputies to transport inmates to court for most preliminary matters.

Trials would still be in person but most other hearings would not. Money and time would be saved while security would be enhanced and public humiliation lessened.

Indiana law allows for Senior Judges, Special Judges and Magistrates to hold hearings while the regular judges are conducting other proceedings. However, in Posey County we need another court facility for such use. Normally a new or renovated courthouse would be quite expensive. But we in Posey County have the opportunity to enhance justice, public service, security and fiscal responsibility by creating one new court reporter position and using some of our historical courthouse furnishings in an existing room in our historical courthouse.

And we can have such a courtroom in operation quickly.

The immediate plan is to set up the courtroom for hear-

ings and video conferencing. I estimate we can establish such a courtroom at a cost of less than $50,000 for the courtroom furnishings now plus the salary of one court reporter (approximately $40,000 per year plus regular county benefits to start January 1, 2019). Of course, such decisions are within the purview of the Commissioners and County Council with consultation with the judges.

An intermediate goal is to have Senior Judges, who are paid by the State, Posey County currently uses two on a case-bycase basis, or Special Judges selected for particular matters, conduct hearings in the small courtroom while both regular courtrooms are in session with the regular judges. Initial hearings in criminal matters and confidential family court cases normally do not involve many people. Such matters are well suited to our new small courtroom.

Long term goals might involve the creation of a full-time or part-time Magistrate to have a regular schedule in the new courtroom. On such issues I will defer to the sound judgment of future county officials unless I am requested to engage on this issue. For now, I respectfully suggest it is in Posey County’s best interest to implement the immediate and intermediate plans.

Viking baseball tops Mater Dei at home

By Chris Morlan North Posey played at home last Wednesday, April 4, against a good Evansville Mater Dei baseball team. The Vikings didn’t quit and beat the Wildcats 7-6 in a close battle.

This win extends the Vikings undefeated season to five wins and no losses. It was another tough day behind the plate for the Vikings but enough to get the win.

The Vikings only had six hits on thirty at-bats with five walks and nine strikeouts. Shane Harris had two hits with four at-bats.

Harris had a double, with one run batted-in and a run scored. Kyle LaVanchy went one for three with a run scored, a run batted-in and a stolen base.

Camden Bender was one for three hitting with a run scored and a run batted-in. Jarrett Motz had one hit and a run scored in the game. Jaydyn Wehmer had one hit with a run batted-in. Corey Heath had one run batted-in with a walk. Brandon Hamman had a run batted-in with a walk. Jacob Newman, Dalton Cox and Weston Voegel each scored a run.

The Vikings will play again

Harris pitches a three-hitter in win against South Spencer

By Chris Morlan The North Posey baseball team was supposed to travel to South Spencer on Monday, April 2, to play the Rebels. On Sunday night, April 1, a message was sent that the game had been relocated to the University of Southern Indiana baseball field.

South Spencer previously won the 2A state title in 2011, 2013 and 2015.

This didn’t intimidate the Vikings and North Posey shutout the Rebels 4-0 to continue to stay undefeated in the season.

Junior Shane Harris pitched a complete game to improve his record to two wins and no losses. Harris had 78 pitches thrown in seven innings with 65 of the pitches going for strikes. He only had three hits against him with no runs, eleven strikeouts and no walks.

North Posey senior Corey Heath came in relief against Reitz in baseball action this week. The Pathers handed the Vikings their first loss against five wins. Photo by Dave Pearce on Tuesday, April 10 at Heritage Hills. The first pitch will be at 5 p.m. North Posey also plays on

Wednesday, April 11 at home against Vincennes Lincoln with a start time of 5 p.m.

North Posey only had five hits on 26 at-bats for the game with four runs scored. The Vikings struck out nine times in the game and three players walked.

Brandon Hamman doubled to drive in two runs, and one walk. Corey Heath had a key hit in the game to drive in another run along with a run scored and a walk. Jarrett Motz had one hit and a run scored. Shane Harris had one hit and Alec Goetz also had a hit in the game. Jesse Kissel and Jacob Newman each had a run scored.

The Vikings will play again on Tuesday, April 10 at Heritage Hills.

The first pitch will be at 5 p.m.

North Posey also plays on Wednesday, April 11 at home against Vincennes Lincoln with a start time of 5 p.m.

Congratulations!

The winner of the Posey County News March Madness bracket contest was Rod Will.

After rainouts, Wildcats finally get time out on the diamond as senior lead-off hitter Matthew Crafton opened the contest with a line drive single over short. Bronson Quinzer than bunted for a hit. After Burke moved the runners over on a fielder’s choice, Hunter Murphy got the season’s first RBI on a fielder’s choice.

Sophomore Hunter Wiltshire then got the second RBI of the inning when he was out on a fielder’s choice and the Wildcats held a 2-0 lead at the end of the first inning.

But the Bears would not go down without a fight. They loaded the bases in the top of the third inning and made the best of the situation by producing two runs.

But the Wildcats would have an answer. Crafton singled again and moved up on a wild pitch. Quinzer walked

By Dave Pearce It didn’t feel like baseball weather but the calendar said it was. On Thursday, the Mount Vernon Wildcats finally got a baseball game under their belts, following several rainouts.

It proved to be a big night for Nathan Burke. Following a 3:30 signing to continue his baseball and academic career at Rose Hulman, the Mount Vernon senior got timely hits, played solid defense, and got the save on the mound as the Wildcats got off to a good start, defeating Central 5-4 in the season opener.

Wildcat senior Dylan Dutkiewicz got the nod to start the game for the Wildcats and was effective through four innings.

The Wildcats got off to a good start

and the bases were loaded when Burke walked.

The Wildcats took the lead on a fielder’s choice by Murphy. Wiltshire then sent a ball deep into center to score another Wildcat run and the home team was up 4-2 after three full innings.

Dutkiewicz then set the Bears down 1-2-3 in the top of the fourth.

By Dave Pearce The North Posey School Board met on Monday evening and as a result, there are two new head coaches at North Posey High School.

North Posey high School Principal Dr. Scott Strieter and Athletic Director Waylon Schenk recommended the hiring of Madison Falkenstein to fill a vacant Physical Education/Health Teacher position. Falkenstein will also take over the reins of the North Posey volleyball program. Last season’s coach Ashley Neidig Grimes resigned and is expecting twins early in the summer.

Strieter had high praise for the Memorial High School graduate who will graduate from USI in May. “Ms. Falkenstein is currently the junior varsity volleyball coach at Memorial and she is a club volleyball coach for River City Volleyball Club,” Strieter’s recommendation read. “Coach Falkenstein is young, energetic, and a teacher/coach that shows a ton of potential.”

North Posey head girls’ basketball coach Larry Kahle retired at the end of last season but when the team returns next

Madison Tyler Falkenstein Nicole fall/winter, they will see a familiar face.

Tyler J. Nicole will take over the reins of the North Posey women’s basketball program.

Nicole has extensive coaching experience that started roughly five years ago.

For the past three years, Nicole has been a girls’ basketball coach at North Posey High School. He was the freshman coach for one season, and the junior varsity coach for two seasons.

During his tenure at North Posey, Nicole has shown ambition in building the program. He has worked to create the first

tesy runner. Crafton then came up with his third hit of the day to advance the runner. A nice sacrifice bunt by Jackson Elaman put the runners in scoring position.

The final run of the night for the Wildcats came when Dutkiewicz grounded to short but a mishandled ball left Dutkiewicz safe at first and scored what would be the winning run.

It was either feast or famine when Hunter Murphy came in to pitch in the top of the fifth. He struck out the first batter he faced and walked the second and third hitters. He struck out the next Central batter as he watched a third strike go by. The runners advanced on a wild pitch but a grounder to short kept the Bears without a run in the inning.

The Wildcats were blanked in their half of the fifth and Murphy started the sixth on the mound. But after a pair of walks, Burke came in relief. Burke struck out the first batter he faced but not without allowing the runners to advance on a passed ball. Kaaleb Krieger came in to catch for the Wildcats and a wild pitch allowed the Bears to pull to within 5-3. Then, with runners on first and third, a deep fly ball pulled the Bears to within 5-4 before a strikeout ended the inning.

Junior Luke Harris got a pinch-hit single in the bottom of the sixth as the Wildcats attempted to secure their lead but the Cats were unable to bring him around.

In the top of the seventh, Burke made a great defensive play on a hard bouncer to start the inning and then set the other two Bears down in order to preserve the win.

The Wildcats were not as fortunate at Heritage Hills on Friday. The Wildcats held a lead late into the contest before giving up the lead and the game by a 9-4 score.

Friday’s game was a heartbreaker for the Wildcats. The game was tied at four with Heritage Hills batting in the bottom of the fifth when Turner singled on a 3-1 count, scoring one run.

Heritage Hills opened an early lead in the first inning when Rickelman singled on a 2-2 count, scoring two runs.

In the top of the fourth inning, Mount Vernon tied things when they scored one run on a stolen base.

Tyler Walls took the loss for the Wildcats.

He came in relief and lasted two innings, allowing five hits and four runs while striking out two and walking one.

Becher started the game for Heritage Hills.

He allowed five hits and four runs over three innings. Wiltshire started the game for the Cats.

He went three innings, allowing four runs on six hits and striking out one.

Matthew Crafton led Mount Vernon with two hits in four at bats.

The Wildcats scored their four runs on eight hits but the team committed three errors.
