By Lois Mittino Gray Everyone’s been asking about the fate of the Lions Club fireworks on the riverfront this year and members of the Mount Vernon Board of Public Works helped make them a happening thing at the May 11 meeting.

Grant Beloat, representing the Lions Club, requested use of the riverfront for their annual fireworks celebration. Permission was given to have them on July 1, with a rain date set for July 2.

Beloat assured the board that all insurance matters are taken care of and turned in to the ClerkTreasurer’s Office.

Board Member Larry Williams commented

Mount Vernon council OKs water, sewer hikes Summer bills won’t reflect rate changes

By Lois Mittino Gray Two public hearings, attended by no demonstrators with any questions or comments, resulted in the subsequent passing of two ordinances raising city water and sewer rates at the May 11 Mount Vernon Common Council meeting. Mayor Bill Curtis opened and closed both hearings quickly,

as there was no response, even though the hearings were well advertised in local media and by letters sent to homeowners in the community.

After second readings of each ordinance, council members voted unanimously to suspend rules and read them again on third reading that same night. Afterwards, mo-

tions were made to pass them and both did unanimously on roll call vote. The ordinance raising water rates is 17-09 and sewer rates is 17-10. Councilman Larry Williams was absent for the vote that evening.

Jim Cameron of Umbaugh and Associates financial consultants was on hand to answer questions

during the public hearings should they arise. The water rates are being increased to pay off BANS (short term bonds) that come due on July, to secure more permanent financing to pay off bonds on work already done to enhance water treatment in the community. Sewer rates are going up to finance new bonds for the removal of phosphorus from city water, treated before discharge into the Ohio River, as mandated by the

state.

Attorney Higgins said the bids for the phosphorous project came in lower than anticipated two weeks ago, so instead of an anticipated increase in sewer rates of 24.2 percent, the ordinance has been reduced to show an increase of 19.7 percent. Mayor Curtis stated the decrease is due to Utilities Superintendent Chuck Gray and

Officials review tax abatements scoring

By Valerie Werkmeister Posey County officials are taking a hard look at the direction they wish to take the county for the future. One way they are doing this is by reviewing the way tax abatements are scored and given to business projects.

Posey County Council members discussed

the topic at length with Greg Wathen of the Economic Development Coalition of Southwest Indiana during their meeting last Tuesday, May 9.

Right now, the council uses a preset scoring sheet that helps them decide the specific amount of tax relief to grant businesses and in-

dustry that is investing in the county. Wathen suggested the scoring mechanism may need to change to rate certain factors higher than others.

Officials agreed the score that is derived

Cynthiana board finalizes water rate increase See The Mount Vernon and North Posey Graduation Sections in Today’s Paper (USPS 439-500)

By Valerie Werkmeister Proposed water rate increases were finalized during last week’s Cynthiana Town Board meeting. Town employee Ken Gorbett clarified the increase will be a flat $11.55 fee increase for water users

over 2,000 gallons per month.

During the April meeting, town board members discussed for each additional 1,000 gallons, an additional fee of .89 cents would be placed. Gorbett stated that was incorrect. The proposed rate reflects

a 17 percent increase. Currently, for the first 2,000 gallons used, the cost is $19.32. After July 1, the rate will increase to $23.10. Sewer rates are not affected by this increase.

Gorbett also suggested the addi-

tion of a water tracker that would reflect any future water rate increases passed on by German Township Water District.

The board discussed how to as-

Living, loving life: Upcoming centenarian is no sissy

By Lois Mittino Gray Mount Vernon resident Elsia Cole will become Posey County’s newest centenarian when she turns 100-years-old on Thursday, May 18. The spunky senior can delight listeners for hours with her tales of growing up in Evansville, cruising around in a convertible with the impish Miss May or camping all over the country with her sleeping bag and a tent. “None of that sissy stuff for me when I’m camping,� she announced.

Elsia, who claims to hail “from good Hoosier stock,� grew up around the Emma Roach School neighborhood (now Cedar Hall School.) “My mom had the same teacher I had while there.

Mrs. Leitchmeyer taught many members of my family. I went there eight years and then went to the old Central High School downtown, until I graduated.� “In 1936, I was nineteen on a Monday and married by the next Saturday,� she reminisced. Harley Cole and Elsia were married for 35 years, until he was hit by a car while crossing the street in front of their business. “We leased a Busler’s Market at the corner of Boonville Road by Stevenson Station Road. He worked days and I worked the night shift. As he was leaving to walk home, he was hit by the auto. We would be married 81 years this year, if he had lived,� she said wistfully. She continued to live and work at the market until back surgery made her give it up.

The pair had two children. Son David passed away in 1994 and daughter Sylvia Day lives in Mount Vernon with her husband, Merton. Elsia moved to the community in 1974 to be near her and the family.

Sylvia told tales of times living next door to Miss May in the early years of Elsia’s married life and the adventures the two ladies would find. “She was the instigator of much of their mischief. Mom would wave us off to school and they would get their head scarves on and hop into Miss May’s GMC convertible and cruise back then,� Sylvia said with a laugh. “We had so much fun!� Elsia added. “We almost set the house on fire when we dug up posts and burned them. Miss May wore flip-flops all the time, which was unusual back then, and they were lost in the fire. One time we decided to move the outhouse and her husband came home from work late at night and almost fell in the hole! We spray painted an old aqua couch black with a vacuum cleaner and got it all over the back porch and new driveway. Mr. May was not happy with her when he saw that either !�

Free cancer screening set In observance of Skin Cancer Awareness Month, the Chancellor Center for Oncology will host free cancer screenings on Thursday, May 18, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Deaconess Clinic dermatologists Dr. Clay Davis, Dr. Jane Lim, and Dr. Celine Mestel will perform these screenings, which are ideal for those with a history of sunburns, extensive sun exposure or any tanning bed use.

Limited appointments are available for this event, and registration is required. To make an appointment, call 812253-9154 or email robin.lawrence@usoncology.com. The Chancellor Center for Oncology is located at 4055 Gateway Blvd., Newburgh, Ind.

Elsia Cole turns 100-years-old on May 18. Photo by Lois Mittino Gray Although she enjoyed tooling around with the top down, Elsia herself did not learn to drive until she was 62. Her daughter took her out and taught her on the back roads of Mount Vernon. “I had no reason to learn before that. For 25 cents, the bus picked us up at the market and took us downtown and back to Stevenson Station.�

After moving to Mount Vernon, Elsia worked at the Fourth Street smorgasbord for eight years as a dessert maker until she retired. “Our three standards were banana pudding, fruit cobblers and chocolate cake in big 17 inch pans,� she described.

She moved to the Villages Apartments, a 37 unit affordable housing community in town, three years ago. “I just love it here.

I can see a lot of action on Main Street out of this front window,� she observed. Elsia enjoys the comings and goings of her Village mates and loves how kind everyone is to her at the community.

What’s her secret to a long life? “I’ve never smoked or drank much, just a little beer. Longevity is not in my family genes. I’m

the oldest, by far, in my family. Most only live to 60’s or 70’s. I must be livin’ right!�

Hobbies through life include reading and doing crossword puzzles. “She did one a day for all her adult life, until her eyes started going.� Sylvia noted. Elsia is also a great seamstress. She sewed a friend five outfits to take to Florida, all kinds of clothes, and wedding and prom dresses for family, especially for her beloved granddaughters. “I put all kinds of special touches on those special dresses, like buttons on the sleeves and lots of lace. One dress had so much lace left over, I made a skirt on the bassinets for both grandchildren at the time.� Elsia now has a legacy of 10 grandkids, 16 great-grandchildren and even some great-greats.

She enjoys watching her television shows and complains that Nielsen calls constantly trying to get her opinions. A particular favorite is Dancing with the Stars. A granddaughter took her to see the show live when it was in Evansville a few years ago and she came home with a cup and souvenir jacket. “Oh, I love that Max and Val!� she gushed about the handsome hoofers.

One of Elsia’s greatest joys through the years has been camping every weekend in the local area or going on longer family travel trips to other states. The stalwart knows the hard side of blow up mattresses and sleeping bags and waiting out violent storms sitting in the car while camping.

She couldn’t believe it one night when, at Lincoln State Park, the camper next door had the audacity to pull out an electric coffee pot. Hers percolates on a fire over the grill. A thin layer of ice formed one morning over her coffee cup at Yellowstone National Park and “no sissy stuff� is what she likes. “We would travel everyplace by tent for three nights, then find a hotel for a night,� she explained of her 14 state trip one year.

Elsia loved Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks in Utah, the lake area of New York state, and enjoyed two trips to the Grand Canyon. She’s been to Disney World, too. She also did a lot of fishing in her time. The aged angler is proud of her big catfish picture that hung for years at the old bait shop on Fourth Street.

Elsia plans to celebrate her hundred years on Earth by going out to dinner and enjoying the day with friends and family. Villages friends plan to celebrate her day and her family may have a party later in the summer. “Maybe I’ll have a treat like lemon or coconut cream pie. As for gifts, I don’t need anything at my age.

I’ve got everything right now, but a boyfriend,� she said with a mischievous wink. Hear that Miss May?

New statue dedicated at Riverbend Park

Special to the News On Saturday, May 13, the Greater Mount Vernon Indiana Association hosted a statue dedication at the Riverfront Riverbend Park as a ceremonial beginning to the start of summer at the park.

This statue of a little boy will sit next to the current statue of a young girl enjoying the park.

Many families from Mount Vernon and the surrounding area enjoy the park all year long, and especially during summer months. The city’s hope is that this will complete the recreational area and further denote the location as a playground for children.

The statue was donated by the Mount Vernon Garden Club and the Azalea Trail Committee.

Mayor Bill Curtis and commit-

tee members from the Garden Club and Azalea Trail Committee were at the event for the formal presentation of the statue.

Within the last couple of years, Riverbend Park has undergone extensive renovations, truly making it a popular location for local citizens to enjoy.

The park currently includes a child’s playground, waterfront view of the river, amphitheater, boat ramp, botanical garden, and plenty of outdoor space for family dining. Riverfront Riverbend Park is located at East Water Street in Mount Vernon, Indiana.

To learn more about Riverbend Park, as well as the Mount Vernon Parks and Recreation Department, find them on Facebook or visit www.greatermountvernon.org. The Park is open 6 a.m.-11 p.m. daily.

Anniversary

Cheers To 100 Years!

Joe and Janith Goedde

Henrietta Gee of Cynthiana will turn 100 years old on June 12, 2017. Please stop by and visit with her at an Open House planned in her honor on Saturday, June 17 from 2 - 4 p.m. at the Cynthiana Community Center, corner of North Street and Mulkey Road.

Formal invitations have been sent, but all friends and family are welcome to attend. In lieu of gifts please bring a white or purple flower to place in vases on tables.

Janith Goedde celebrated her 60th anniversary in style -by wearing her vintage 1957 wedding gown. The glowing great-grandmother tried it on again after a long day of anniversary celebrations with her husband, Joe Goedde, and 62 members of their family.

The $69.95 Chantilly lace dress still ďŹ ts, although she said it’s a bit tighter now despite recently losing weight.

The bride’s gown was the main focus of the couple’s wedding announcement in their local newspaper decades ago. “For her wedding, the bride chose a oor-length gown of imported Chantilly lace and nylon tulle over satin, fastened down the back with tiny covered buttons,â€? it read. “The

ďŹ tted lace bodice was designed with Sabrina neckline and embroidered in pearlized sequins. The long sleeves tapered over the wrists.â€?

Janith and Joe Goedde remember their May 11, 1957, wedding day vividly. The special occasion was even caught on camera, ďŹ lmed on an old camera Joe Goedde bought in Germany while in the Army. The ceremony was at 8 a.m. in Haubstadt, Indiana, on a “hot and sunny day.â€? The bridesmaids had matching hoopskirt dresses in pink, blue, green and yellow, each carrying a bouquet of daisies.

The couple celebrated their 60th anniversary on April 30, 2017 at the Carriage Inn with family and friends.

Washington, DC

By Cathy Powers Once again, area veterans from Southern Indiana will take off in the early dawn on the Spring 2017 Honor Flight. Aboard that plane departing from Evansville Regional Airport will be 5 men from Posey County. They served their country in both WWII and Korea, and, along with a family member serving as Guardian, they will be taken to Washington, DC. Upon arrival, they are treated with all of the honor and privilege that they so richly deserve. They will be taken to various Memorials, and Arlington Cemetery. Every possible need that might arise for any of them has been anticipated and it will be an emotional journey for each man to take. After the unforgettable day, they will return to Evansville around 8:30 to a cheering and capacity crowd at the airport. If anyone is thinking of being there to see their return, I would urge you to arrive early.

There are two flights per year and if anyone knows of a veteran who wants to be included on upcoming trips, please feel free to inquire now ask for more details at hfsipresident@gmail.com.

Here are stories on the Posey County Veterans included in the Spring 2017 flight: Warren Montgomery grew up on Haines Road near Wadesville. Before being drafted in February of 1951, he had worked on farms and as a telephone lineman. He had originally joined the Navy Reserves, but ended up in the Army. He turned 21 in July of 1952 and was first sent to Camp Breckinridge for four months of training, before going to Washington state. Before arriving in Korea, he spent 30 days in Japan. In Korea, he was assigned to Regimental Headquarters.

Warren Montgomery His unit was sent up the front lines whenever there was a breakthrough, and he saw combat in the trenches.

They were also responsible for being guards and the security of the compound.

Montgomery recalls that he had developed a habit of taking his breakfast from the mess hall, and eating in the bunker. One morning, he was very glad that he had done this, because a shell landed in the mess tent minutes after he was there. He also learned that he had very little tolerance for the consumption of alcohol. On Christmas, a round of drinking kept him passed out for three days, and he was again lucky that his Sergeant Major covered for him, counting him as present anyway.

After being eligible to go home in October of 1953, he was offered a fifth stripe to add to his four stripe Sergeant’s rank if he would stay longer, but he chose to go home.

Only one month after his return, he met Margaret, a nurse, who would turn out to be the immediate love of his life. They both say it was love at first sight, and they were married after only five dates. They have been married now for 62 years, and currently live on Stierley Road near Blairsville. They lived for 13 years in California, where Montgomery worked at Rohr Aircraft Naval Station. After his return to Indiana, he worked at Peerless Pottery, Montgomery Excavating, and Parker Construction.

Margaret retired from her nursing career at Deaconess Hospital in 1994.

He and Margaret have three daughters, and one son, Warren Keith, who will be his guardian on the flight. They also have 10 James Eickoff grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. He reportedly is a great nephew of Daniel Boone.

James Eickoff, age 90, was drafted into the Army in 1945, after finishing school. He first went to Camp Gordon in Georgia for Basic Training, where his was the last group to

train there before the bombs were dropped in Japan. Technically, WWII was over, but the Army wanted men to be trained and prepared. He ended up in Italy, classified as a clerk/typist. He was also involved in the military cemetery for American soldiers in Naples, where his wife’s brother, Wilfred Paul, was laid to rest.

It was Eickoff’s job to assist in getting soldiers on their way home, including the 36th Army Division that had been located in North Africa. He was in Italy for a year.

He grew up on the family farm in Saint Phillips.

Through a mutual friend, he met his wife, Mary Ann Paul, and they were married on October 19, 1948. She passed away in August of 2016. They had five children, four boys and a girl. His son, Terry, will be his guardian on the flight.

They have 15 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.

Eickoff worked at Servel after the war, as well as Poseyville Farm Bureau. Before retiring, he spent 33 years at Whirlpool. He has lived on Saint Wendel Road since 1963.

Andrew Wildemann, age 85, was in the Army from January of 1952 until December of 1953. After being drafted, he was sent to Fort Riley, Kansas, for training.

He spent his time of service in Bordeaux, France.

Part of his duties included winterizing the barracks.

He remembers playing in softball tournaments.

After returning from the service, he worked in sales at the American Standard Warehouse, was a contractor with HG Newman Plumbing, and retired Andrew Wildemann from Deig Brothers.

He graduated from Memorial High School in 1949. Wildeman was born and raised in the Saint Phillips area, where he still lives with his wife, Mary. They were married in April, 1954. When he worked at the Edgewood Dairy, he went to eat at the soda fountain in nearby Francis Pharmacy, where she had a job.

Their daughter, Rhonda Schenk, will be his guardian on the flight. They have another daughter, Renee, and had a son Rodney, who is deceased. They have five grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

In retirement, Andrew and Mary have enjoyed traveling, going to Hawaii, Alaska, and Mexico.

Charles Huck, age 84, is a well-known resident of New Harmony, where he lives with his wife, Sally. He graduated from New Harmony School in 1950, and enlisted in the Navy on January 3, 1951. He decided that the Navy was best for him, because being left handed in the Army might affect his ability to shoot. He had a scholarship from Farm Bureau to go to Purdue, but ended up going to the Great Lakes Training Station with his buddy, Jerry Joest.

He spent two years, serving aboard the carrier, USS Tarewa. As part of the 6th Fleet he went to the Mediterranean twice. His duties included loading bombs and taking care of the planes. The carrier was 887 and one-half

feet long and had 4,000 people on board. Huck had gone to aviation ordinance school in Jacksonville Florida. He remembers the party atmosphere when they crossed the equator, and going to casinos in Luxembourg. When his unit was in Istanbul, they were only 100 miles from the Russian border.

On board the carrier, there were three huge plane elevators, and the planes were moved with little Ford tractors. Huck recalls one time that the timing was off, and one of the tractors plunged Charles Huck down the elevator shaft, killing the driver.

Charles and Sally were married on November 15, 1953 in New Harmony.

They have three sons and a daughter, as well as eight grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. Their daughter, Vickie Harris, will be his guardian on the flight. In 1989, Huck started reunions for the men he served with, and since that time, they have gathered in several American cities, from Washington DC to San Deigo.

Their son, Dirk, was on duty in the Pentagon on 9/11, but thankfully in an area away from where the plane hit the building.

James Bender, age 85, is a member of a long time farming family in the Cynthiana area. At age 21, he was drafted into the Army. He spent eight weeks of basic training at Fort Bliss Texas. After a furlough home, he shipped to Korea out of California.

He also spent time in Japan before arriving in Korea.

He was sent to Inchon, and was stationed there to protect the fuel depot. For three months, he was trained for anti-aircraft. When the truce came, he was sent to an island, 100 miles north James Bender of the 38th Parallel in the Yellow Sea. They were there to protect an air force landing strip from enemy planes.

He was shipped back to Seattle, and took a train to Milwaukee to be processed out. He went to Chicago and then home.

He and his wife Rosalind have lived just north of Cynthiana since 1964. They have eight children, 24 grandchildren, and one great grandchild.

Thanks to all of these men and the others who will be on this Spring’s Honor Flight.

Have a wonderful and memorable day.

who study human behavior say that the one universal behavior is worship. There seems to be an internal compass in everyone, everywhere that says, “There is someone, somewhere who is greater, more powerful than any of us here or all of us combined.” Man seems to be incurably religious - having a deep desire or need to have a god. Shrines and idols of all shapes and sizes are as old as history. And if people do not worship the God of the Bible they will make a god of themselves or another object.

“Hear, O my people,” God said to the Israelites, “I will warn you...You shall have no foreign gods before me!” It is almost impossible to believe that after all God had done for Israel He had to warm them about worshiping idols.

Is it any different today?

Not really. The problems we face in the world today are not political problems but spiritual problems. We worship too many “foreign” false gods.

Sermon of the Week: Let your voice be heard in heaven

By Pastor Matt Watson, Mount Vernon General Baptist Church May 4 marked the 66th annual National Day of Prayer headlined by an event in Washington DC. Earlier in the year, on March 30, I attended the Indiana Leadership Prayer Breakfast in Indianapolis. These civic emphases on prayer have gotten me thinking more deeply about the subject. Prayer is more than, but not less than, communicating with God. But how do you communicate with someone you cannot see? Why would you want to set aside time to pray? And, How could you find more joy in communicating with God? We will answer these three questions before offering some specific applications and a final exhortation.

First, How do you communicate with someone you cannot see? Let’s try a metaphor here. Imagine you are in love with a soldier that is off to war. The soldier is on a mission in which media is not allowed; however, letters may be sent. Would you not carefully craft your letters to communicate precise thoughts to your loved one? Would you not desire your loved one to know what’s going on back home, how you feel about them, and how much you long for the day there’s no expanse of space between you? Think this way about God. We are in a spiritual war (cf. Ephesians 6:10-17). The Christian is connected by an indwelling Spirit that allows letters (i.e. prayers) to be sent. The response to such prayers are inward senses shaped and confirmed by God’s letters in the books of the Bible. You see the tapestry of divine communication interwoven through Word and prayer (e.g. Acts 6:1-7). You want God to know what’s going on in your life, how you

feel about Him, what you need most, and how much you long for the day there will be no expanse of space between you (cf. Revelation 21:3-4). God intends His people to communicate through prayer predicated on the Word.

This is the way you communicate with One you cannot yet see.

Second, Why would you want to set aside time to pray? You might protest: “I pray all the time--without ceasing--like Thessalonians says!” While an attitude of ongoing prayer is noble, Jesus still commands us to set aside times for focused prayer. There are times to do this with the assembly of believers each week on Sunday (Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:1-2) but also there are many more times you should pray by yourself. Jesus modeled this kind of withdrawing to pray (cf.

Luke 4:42, 5:16)--especially when facing an important decision (Luke 6:12). In some cases, prayer is to be coupled with self-denial of foods (i.e. fasting). Coupling fasting with prayer allows you less distraction and more focus in communication with God (Matthew 6:1-15). Christian, in following Christ, you follow His example in prayer. This is one reason why you set aside time to pray.

Another reason why you should pray is illustrated by Rev. Barry Black. Rev. Black, the Senate chaplain, spoke at the 65th annual National Prayer Breakfast on February 2.

The title of his message reminds us why you should pray. His message title was simply, “Let Your Voice Be Heard in Heaven.” Rev. Black reminds us of a very important biblical truth--that God hears His children when they communicate through prayer.

Third, How could you find more joy in communicating with God? Let’s consider

another metaphor here. Imagine having a significant other (i.e. someone you’re exclusively dating, married too, etc.). What would be important to keeping that relationship vibrant and joyous? If you answered “communication” then you would be correct! Communication is the fuel relationships thrive on. An anemic relationship will suffer from poor communication. Those struggling in marriage describe their issues, almost universally, as struggles in communication--especially in the areas of money and intimacy. They just can’t get on the same page. If communication is important between a bride and groom, it stands to reason that communication is important between Christ’s bride (the church) and the groom (Christ Himself, see Ephesians 5:22-33). A well acclimated relationship will display experienced communication patterns.

It’s almost as if one spouse can speak for the other spouse and anticipate how he/she might respond to dynamic situations. You can find more joy in communicating with God by having the courage to critique your communication patterns. When you pray, how many times do you say “just”? How many times do you ask God to “be” with so and so believer. Is not God always “be”ing with His people? So why ask that? Critique your communication patterns to say what you mean and mean what you say. Try writing down prayers in a notebook. Be clear. Grow. Is it not wise to grow in communication skill with God? Sometimes, we sentimentalize prayer.

Sometimes, we presume upon those we love.

Sadly, the presumed upon relationship is not rich in joy.

You might be wondering what other steps you can take to find more joy in prayer.

Though I’ve already offered a few applications, here’s a short list of six practical applications: 1. Practice prayer aloud with the family at mealtime or bedtime or Bible time.

2. Structure your prayer Trinitarian-ly. Open your prayer as to the Father. Make requests by the Spirit. And end your prayer in Jesus’ name. 3. Allow someone else the freedom to critique your out-loud communications with God. Ask a more mature praying person to help you. 4. Locate communication-oriented verses in your Bible. In fact, quite a few of them are listed in this article. Allow these verses to shape how you think about and practice prayer. 5. Chart your progress in communication with God in a phone app or notepad. You’d take a note if it was an important business deal or school project! Tim Keller describes prayer as “the recognition of the greatness of God.” Important indeed!

6. Praise Him for giving you prayer as great means for joy!

Final exhortation. Your relationship with God is, just that, a relationship. Communication is food for a relationship. A well-fed relationship is healthy. A malnourished relationship is sickly. Good communication habits feed thriving relationships with spouse, kids, parents, friends, employer, colleagues and more. The late Peter Marshall reminded us that God will work his plan with greater ease than you ever could. He concluded, “Mine is the loss when I neglect to pray.”

We have briefly considered both why you should and how you can communicate more effectively with your Creator. You have this great privilege in this life--to be heard by God. Why *not let your voice be heard in heaven, today?

NP grad starts Heathcotte Land Solutions, LLC to serve community

By Bryanna Green Schreiber Ross Heathcotte lives in Poseyville with his wife, Audrey.

They’ve both always had a passion for being outdoors and working outdoors, and recently started a business to put that passion to work in a way that serves others.

Ross, son of Roger and Rosie Heathcotte, grew up in Poseyville and from the age of 10 he helped out by working on his family’s farm alongside his grandparents and aunts and uncles. “Farming was where I learned that hard work pays off. I grew up watching the family work for themselves on the farm and loved the entrepreneurial mindset,” said Heathcotte.

“Becoming an entrepreneur has always been an aspiration of mine.”

Heathcotte graduated from North Posey High School in 2007 and received his degree from the College of Business Administration at the University of Southern Indiana in 2011. He formerly worked in sales at Juncker Brothers and is currently a shift worker at a company in Mount Vernon. He plans to continue his shift work, but his new business will allow him to pursue his entrepreneurial passion on the side.

Heathcotte Land Solutions, LLC was officially incorporated on March 30, 2017. The business

North Posey graduate Ross Heathcotte and his wife Audrey stand beside their sign located just outside Wadesville on Highway 165. Photo submitted offers a variety of land services, including underbrush and debris clearing, forestry mulching, land clearing, land excavation, storm cleanup and vegetation management and can also accommodate right of way easements, culvert replacements, etc.

While his wife Audrey helps behind the scenes, Ross is the sole

operator. He is experienced with machinery and operates a large track skid steer with a wide range of front attachments. One of the attachments is a forestry mulching hand that mulches small trees that are 6-8 feet in diameter to the ground without needing to use a chainsaw or other equipment.

Another attachment helps pick up

small limbs and debris after a forest has been cleared or a storm has passed through.

Heathcotte is excited to do business near his home in Posey County and also wishes to serve the surrounding areas in the tristate. He is willing to travel within reason and his business will serve an approximately 60-mile radius.

“There’s a lot of opportunity in Posey County and the surrounding counties like Vanderburgh and Gibson,” said Heathcotte.

“With any new business, there is a learning curve and you have to be adaptable. I like to work through new challenges, and I’m excited to see what I can do with this business and help others in this capacity. Fulfilling people’s needs is my biggest motivation.”

While his business is just getting started, Heathcotte sees a lot of opportunity ahead. He hopes that as his business gets off the ground customer referrals will be a source of growth. He believes he knows how to treat people and ensure that they are overly satisfied with the work provided. He takes great pride in offering superb customer service.

“I enjoy my work and I’m committed to treating people the way they want to be treated. I’m here to help them solve any challenges they are facing with their land,” said Heathcotte.

Heathcotte Land Solutions, LLC is located at 5461 Highway 165 in Poseyville, Ind. 47633. If you’re interested in learning more about the services offered or would like to schedule a consultation for an estimate, Ross can be reached at at 812-306-6755.

Four organizations receive grant money by PC Community Foundation With a generous grant from the Smithville Charitable Foundation, the Posey County Community Foundation awarded four organizations a total of $65,158 from its Smithville-Posey Rural Health Grant Initiative in April. The four recipient organizations are working to strategically address rural health care needs in Posey County and aim to make a significant and sustained, positive impact among the population being served through their use of funds.

The Smithville Charitable Foundation, located in Ellettsville, Indiana, was established in 2007 from the Draper-Earles family’s generosity and desire to enrich the lives of people served by Smithville Communications. The family continues to support the communities around the area. Each year, the Smithville Charitable Foundation generously supports different causes across southern and central Indiana through their grants program.

The recipients of the grants from the Smithville-Posey Rural Health Grant Initiative are: $25,000 to Deaconess Foundation for the purchase of 20 AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) to be placed in Posey County first responder vehicles $19,258 to Poseyville Medical Foundation to support building and maintenance expenses for the new Regional Medical Center in northern Posey County $15,000 to Posey County Council on Aging to support fleet maintenance expenses for the vehicles used in the transportation program $5,900 to Tulip Tree Health Services of Gibson County to support the dental services outreach project in Posey County, specifically for Outreach Coordinator salary and benefits, travel mileage for outreach efforts in Posey County, and the production of flyers and referral forms

Steve Harding - Edward Jones Financial Advisor What sort of financial gift can improve mom’s life?

You could, for instance, encourage your mother to fund her IRA. As long as she has any earned income, she is eligible to invest in a traditional or Roth IRA (although a Roth IRA does have income limits which, if exceeded, will reduce and eventually eliminate contributions). In 2017, the IRA contribution limit is $5,500, or $6,500 for individuals 50 or older.

Traditional IRA contributions may be deductible, depending on one’s income, and earnings can grow tax deferred. Taxes are due upon withdrawal and withdrawals prior to age 591⁄2 may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty. Roth IRA contributions are not deductible, but earnings are distributed tax-free, provided an investor has had the account at least five years and doesn’t start taking withdrawals until age 591⁄2.

You can’t contribute directly to your mother’s IRA, but you can give her money to use for that purpose, if she chooses. And since she has until April 17, 2018, to fully

fund her IRA for the 2017 tax year, your gift now may help make it that much easier for Mom to “max out” on her account.

Here’s another suggestion: Consider helping Mom pay one or two months’ worth of insurance premiums. It’s possible that your mother is paying for multiple insurance policies, like life insurance and disability or longterm care insurance, so any financial help on your part would be valuable.

You might also want to give Mom some tips on how she can help maintain her financial independence throughout her life. If she ever needed some type of long-term care, such as an extended stay in a nursing home or the services of a home health aide, the costs could be extremely high, and Medicare typically pays little of these expenses. So you might want to connect her mother with a financial professional, who can provide strategies for protecting her from long-term care costs.

Here’s one more suggestion: Give a gift to a charitable organization your moth-

er supports. Even though you’re making the gift in Mom’s name, you should be able to reap some benefits yourself, even apart from the good feelings you’ll get by helping a charitable group.

As long as the charity has 501(c)(3) status (named after the section of the Internal Revenue Code that governs such groups), your gift can offer you tax advantages. On the most basic level, a gift of cash can earn you a tax deduction. So, for example, if you are in the 25% tax bracket, and you give $1,000 to a qualified charity, you will be able to deduct $250 from your taxes.

You may be able to get even more tax benefits if you donate appreciated assets, such as stocks, to a charity. If you give appreciated stocks you’ve held for more than one year, you can deduct the value of the securities, based on their worth when you make the gift – and neither you nor the charity will have to pay capital gains taxes on the donated investments.

Your mother has done a lot for you. Show her you appreciate her efforts.

Locals shine in Wedding Singer production

By Brandon Cole The Evansville Civic Theatre is currently performing The Wedding Singer. Two current and one former Mount Vernon High School students perform in the show and an MVHS alumni runs the show as artistic director.

Kevin Roach, MVHS graduate, is the artistic director behind the Wedding Singer. Big hair, loud colors and other fun 1980’s nostalgia is currently being showcased as the Adam Sandler inspired production takes center stage.

“I'm an actor by trade,” said Roach. “I love the art of acting, have been in several shows and independent films in the area and in other cities over the years.

I never thought I would enjoy directing as much as I do, but I always describe myself as ‘An actor who sort of fell into directing.’

I've done shows at the Civic Theatre before, and never did I imagine that I would be taking over the position of Artistic Director one day.”

“I also appreciate the fact that I get to continue my job directing at Mount Vernon High School, on the same stage that fostered the love I have for theatre and acting, and working closely with people like Dana Taylor, who was once a mentor to me.” Roach continued.

“During this production, I went to him many times with questions, as he has far more experience than I do in the realm of musical theater, and much of the advice he gave me found it's way into our production.

I am ever grateful for his help.”

All three MVHS actors play in the ensemble, playing everything from wedding guests, brides, grooms, a homeless man, and Cyndi

Lauper and Ronald Regan impersonators. Pat Gerton, a 2016 MVHS graduate and sophomores Quincy Irick and Chloe Farley make up the actors.

Roach was rather complimentary of the three Mount Vernon actors. “Even while being young, they all brought a much needed energy to the ensemble, and weren't afraid to play and create characters in each scene,” said Roach. “Instead of blending into the background, they all made

their moments onstage interesting and fun to watch, a challenge when they are in almost every scene of the show as a new persona.

I'd like to think that having worked with them at Mount Vernon High School prior, where I also serve as drama coach and director, helped prepare them for these challenging roles in adult theatre.”

Roach and the crew spent about six weeks rehearsing this show altogether. The show has been a hit so far.

“Audiences seem to really enjoy the production, and we've been packing houses since we opened,” said Roach.

The show plays one more weekend: May 19 and 20 at 7:30 p.m. and May 21 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for seniors, and $12 for students 21 and under. You can call the box office at: 812-425-2800, but the easiest way to get tickets is to go online at www.evansvillecivictheatre.org Tickets can also be purchased at the door.

“I definitely enjoyed the Wedding Singer movie, but I feel like the musical is so much more fun,” said Roach. “It's campy, and

team brought something of their imagination to the final product. My Mount Vernon young people were excellent to work with, and what you see onstage is their own creation. I only guided them to a point, and encouraged and let them create from there.”

Irick, who has been involved in acting since the sixth grade, is having a great time on stage and growing as a performer.

“Probably the most exciting part of the show is, at least for me, when you get out on the stage and see the audience for the first time,” said Irick. “It’s that moment of here we go, let’s do this.”

Irick has been doing theater since sixth grade technically, but over the past year, he has become heavily involved doing around 14 shows in just over a year. He is quite proud of this performance.

“I’d probably say that it’s a show unlike any other and has a little bit of everything for everyone.”

Irick admits he hasn’t actually seen the Wedding Singer movie, but is a rather big fan of Sandler’s older work. He enjoys the live performances on stage.

“The show is just slightly different every night,” said Irick. “Not by a large margin, but just enough that those who might have seen it more than once, might notice. The ensemble characters always change up what they’re doing, so you’ve constantly got to be on your toes.”

Irick is not entirely certain what he might do next, but he hopes to find himself back on Civic’s stage next season. Next up for Roach is a short break, then he will begin his second season as Artistic Director with the musical Young Frankenstein.

isn't afraid to poke fun at itself and make all the 1980's jokes and references it can.

I think anyone who remembers what life in 1985 was like is going to have a laugh at all the winks and nods the play makes to the time period. The musical is it's own entity, and we don't try to replicate the movie, but we do pay homage to the film and certain elements that Adam Sandler made so memorable. The song "Somebody Kill Me" is pulled straight from the movie, and that always gets a good laugh. The scene when Robbie is having his break-down at a gig after getting dumped has so much of the film's original dialogue and humor, that our lead actor almost sounds like Sandler in his portrayal. This leads to one of my favorite songs: "Casualty of Love," which features Chloe Farley as spurned cat-lover with sideburns, Patrick Gerton as an angry groom, and Quincy Irick as an irate father of a "sweaty, sweaty" bride.”

Putting this show together has been quite the challenge for Roach. “When I've worked on the musicals at Mount Vernon High School, Dana Taylor has always handled the music portion of the show, Sally Julian has always handled the choreography, and I've always dealt with the acting and overall vision of the show when putting the three elements together,” said Roach. “With this show, while I had a talented music director and choreographer, I was more in control of every aspect, guiding the vision every step of the way. It involved much more effort and time, and was an excellent learning experience. I still see it as a collaborative effort, as everyone on my

The Patriot Award reflects the efforts made to support citizen warriors through a wide-range of measures, including flexible schedules, time off prior to and after deployment, caring for families, and granting leaves of absence

if needed.

J.D. Hubbard, “Mr. Rodgers and the MSD of Mount Vernon have gone above and beyond the duties of a civilian employer. Mr. Rodgers and MSD of Mount Vernon have made sure that I have the full support of the school for all of my Indiana National Guard endeavors. I am so blessed to be apart of a school that truly cares.

‘Public Works’ continued from Page A1 he’s had several people asking about them and was delighted they are a “go.” Fire Chief Wes Dixon asked the Lions to move back some from the location where they were being shot off last year. He added to, “possibly point them a little farther away from the crowd, too.”

City Attorney Beth McFadin Higgins reported that all reviews are in on the three bids submitted and opened at the last meeting for the Sewer Phosphorous Removal Project. She reviewed the bids from a legal perspective, Lochmueller Engineering reviewed them for content, and the SRF team reviewed the bid financially.

Higgins and the Lochmueller group recommended the city accept the low bid from Custom Mechanical. The bid from Custom Mechanical Construction was for $839,509.

Bid two was from Kieffer Brothers Construction Company Inc. for $950,200. The final bid was from Graves Construction Services, Inc. for $878,787.

The motion carried unanimously to hire Custom Mechanical. Attorney Higgins added there will be a pre-closing with SRF on Monday at noon. Mayor Curtis added that is for a 2 percent loan with SRF, and he ap-

‘Cynthiana’ from Page A1

preciates the speed with which this has been accomplished to get the low-interest loan.

In other board action: • Fire Chief Dixon requested permission to send Charlie Reese and Ryan Riggs to Arson Investigation classes in Indianapolis, June 13 and 14. Both have been certified in the past and he feels this is a huge benefit to the department. The cost of attendance is $475 each and they will need a hotel and use of a city vehicle and credit card. Travel was approved.

• Utilities Superintendent Chuck Gray reported that the recent power outage took down nine of the city sewage lift stations.

The E & S Housing Lift Station was the only one that really required attention and the VacCon truck had to pump it out. On May 18, he would like to send his employees to a training in Huntingburg. The one day event will require use of city vehicles and it was approved.

• Street Commssioner Max Dieterle asked permission for Jamie Miller and Donnie Rye to attend training in Peru, IN for the new street sweeper. Permission was granted to use the city truck and credit card. Board member Williams asked when the sweeper

will be in service, and Dieterle replied he has not received a delivery date yet.

• Dieterle continued his report by stating on Canal Street there has been a sewer cave in down by the Mount Vernon Boat Club.

He added the cave in looks to be about seven feet deep, but it is located on the high bank. A lining company will be coming down next week to give an estimate on the repair. Mayor Curtis told him to contact the board as soon as possible when he gets the estimate. Board Member Williams asked if there are barricades up? Dieterle replied that the orange safety fence is up. Mayor Curtis said if they need a special meeting to proceed with the repair, so be it.

• Attorney Higgins stated they have finally reached a suitable agreement on the Byrd Street Lift Station. The City will be taking over the lift station, as it has been privately maintained since 1975 by the developer. Tri State Developers has signed the proposed agreement and will pay the City Sewer Department $4,000 to seal the deal. Mayor Curtis added they really do need closure on this issue, and Gray said that, “now that we own it, we can take better care of it.”

sess fees for a summer sprinkling credit for those who wish to fill swimming pools or water their lawns. They decided to instruct residents to contact the town hall before their big water usage event. Residents will be asked to read their meters prior to using the water and then immediately after and submit their own readings. Town employees will not be available on the weekends to read the meters.

The board acted on a quote from Wabash Valley Tree Service to take three trees down inside the park. They approved the $2,900 cost for their removal. However, they decided to seek a quote from Whitledge Tree Service.

The town clerk-treasurer’s office will begin using Keystone software for payroll.

The board approved the $8,450 expenditure to purchase the software that will include a maintenance fee for questions by Greta Mounts or her assistant. Mounts also mentioned the office needs a new printer, but they have not yet determined the specifications for it. They will research options and make a recommendation during the June town board meeting.

The next board meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 14, at 6 p.m.

‘Curtis’ continued from Page A1 from,” said Curtis.

Curtis is a lifelong resident of Mount Vernon. With the exception of going away to school, he has lived here all of his life, and he is proud to serve as a leader in his hometown.

While growing up he never saw himself in this role and he’s grateful for the opportunity to serve.

“When the opportunity arose to serve as mayor, I was retired and thoroughly enjoying spending time on my many hobbies, but I felt compelled to serve and thought my skill set would be useful. This is not a financially lucrative business, but it’s certainly rich in experience,” Curtis remarked.

Curtis didn’t start out seeking a career in politics or envision himself becoming mayor, but he’s gathered a toolbox of skills over the years that serve him well in his role.

Curtis graduated from Mount Vernon High School in 1964 and initially pursued a degree in engineering from Purdue University.

However, when he was a student at Purdue he couldn’t see himself sitting in a cubicle and working with a slide rule so he switched his major to English in hopes of becoming a teacher and added a minor in Psychology. Following his undergraduate work, he went on to pursue his master’s degree in educational psychology and child development.

Once his schooling was complete, Curtis moved back to Mount Vernon in 1972 and took a job at Breckenridge Job Core Center. In 1973 he attended a conference in Bloomington and one of the sessions stuck in his mind as it was titled “Breaking The Cycle.”

Curtis spent the rest of his career hoping to do just that. He worked with troubled youth for more than 45 years. Prior to when there were at-risk counselors in the schools, he was able to work in the various Mount Vernon schools through a grant program for early intervention. When that program ended he went on to work for the Southwest Indiana Mental Health Center where he helped counsel teens recovering from drug and alcohol addictions and later served as the Executive Director for the Hillcrest Youth Home in Evansville for 20 years. Hillcrest provides emergency shelter and residential services to children and adolescents, ages 10 through 21 years of age, who

Mayor Bill Curtis and his wife Linda are all smiles during a fundraising event last year. Photo by Dave Pearce need out of home placement.

“I’ve always had an interest in learning about what makes people tick, and enjoyed working with youth. While the youth I worked with were considered difficult, I was able to connect and develop a good rapport with them,” said Curtis. “If you’ve heard the starfish story, my experience is similar.

Although I couldn’t always change the outcome, if I made a difference in even one person’s life it was worth it.“ Curtis learned a number of things through serving youth and recalls when he used to talk to the parents of troubled youth and counsel them on the four C’s of behavior management – Caring, Communication, Consequences and Consistency. He uses these principles as well as creative problem solving and his planning and engineering background in his role as mayor. Communication is a top priority.

Curtis married his wife, Linda, in July of 1968, and together they have two children, who are now grown and have kids of their own.

Their daughter Michelle lives in St. Louis with two children, ages 20 and 17, and their son Todd lives in Allen, Texas with two children – an 8-year-old son and a 5-year-old daughter.

He fondly recalls growing up with Linda as she lived nearby and

they often played in the neighborhood. Curtis’ wife was actually the first to be involved in politics. She served as the County Treasurer for 30-plus years. “My wife’s service inspired me to get involved as a city councilman ten years ago, but little did we know it would result in me serving as mayor one day,” said Curtis.

FACING CHALLENGES Every job has its challenges.

With changes occurring at the state and federal level and other issues cropping up, Curtis recognizes that it’s impossible to anticipate everything and works to be nimble, flexible, and as prepared as possible.

He says there are always “fires to fight” and every day is different, but he takes it all in stride. “I’m a numbers and facts person. Like the parody of Joe Friday in the old show, Dragnet, ‘Just the facts, ma’am.’ I try not to let issues keep me up at night. We do everything we can to solve the problems at hand. We do our research, understand the facts and use the information we have to make the best decisions we can,” said Curtis.

“We work to respond to issues in a timely manner and plan ahead so we can be proactive.”

Curtis acknowledges that there are some potential infrastructure projects on the horizon that would require a large investment, but the

Council will approach them very thoughtfully. He is committed to investing in what’s necessary to improve the city, but will be diligent in ensuring they are fiscally responsible.

While there are some significant investments the city needs to evaluate, these challenges are ones he can work through. Curtis noted that for him many of the little things are the big things. For example, with the water rate increase – however small – he worries about the families that can’t afford the bill increase with their fixed budget.

He also sometimes gets frustrated by how long it can take to make changes, but recognizes that we live in a country where individual rights are cherished so the process sometimes takes longer.

increase our population over the next five to ten years. Along with industry and residential growth, I’d love to see this spur growth in our downtown area,” said Curtis.

In serving as mayor, Curtis has become even more hometown proud and believes Mount Vernon is a great place to live and raise a family. He is very excited about the opportunities the City of Mount Vernon has to improve the quality of life for residents. “Our younger population has quality of life expectations that are different from other generations, and it’s been exciting to see local organizations coming together and collaborating to build our city’s offerings and enhance the quality of life in our community,” said Curtis. “You can see these partnerships at work with events such as our recent Water Street Wine Fest, and our city’s Bicentennial celebration, etc. These events were enjoyed by many, and it’s great to see people of all ages coming out to be a part of them.”

Curtis believes the riverfront is a tremendous asset and is also excited about the Main Street bike and walking trail that’s underway as it will be something everyone can enjoy. In the future he hopes to see it connect to other area destinations, such as New Harmony and the USI/ Burdette trail.

PURSUING OPPORTUNITIES Curtis believes that there are many opportunities that lie ahead for Mount Vernon. “We are fortunate to have a wide variety of businesses in Mount Vernon and will continue to see growth in industry and should see some new housing developments and/or upgrades to existing neighborhoods with the planned addition of the MidWest Fertilizer plant,” said Curtis.

“While many small towns have seen their population decline, I believe we are positioned to maintain and hopefully even slightly

FUTURE OUTLOOK Curtis is encouraged by more young people getting plugged in with local politics but thinks it’s important to have a mix of ages represented. “It’s incumbent on us to ask people to step up and get involved. We want you to share your voice,” said Curtis. “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed serving as mayor over the last year. Every day there is a new challenge to face or problem to solve, and I am thankful for the opportunity to put my creative problem solving skills to work with others who are seeking progress for our community. I invite people to share their thoughts and ideas to help us make Mount Vernon the best it can be.”

Perhaps the saying hung in the mayor’s office best summarizes his outlook. It boldly reads “How Might We.” Curtis aims to put this saying into action as the leader of the city and encourages the community to focus, not on the barriers, but instead to zone in on the possibilities and how we can work together to accomplish our goals.

visual observation.

Hoehn asked the cost of the ticket, but Chief Alldredge was not sure. Attorney Higgins explained the ordinance presently reads fines are from $0 to $250 and court costs, which are static, range from at least $87 to $123. The court issues the fine. Higgins said it is at the discretion of the court whether to issue the bottom dollar of $0.

Councilman Hoehn said he would like council to look at changing the bottom dollar amount on the ordinance from $0 to a number. “It is food for thought and something to mull over before the next meeting,” Hoehn noted.

Mayor Curtis added the points do go against the driver’s CDL, which is their livelihood. Attorney Higgins stated the ordinance does not assess points, as council does not have the authority to do that.

• Councilman Hoehn also questioned the status of the East Side Gravity Flow Sewer Project. Attorney Higgins replied a potential contractor met with Utilities Superintendent Chuck Gray and Great American (the bond company) three weeks ago about taking over the project. They have submitted their bid to Great American

and they should know by the end of the week. Peyronin, the original contractor on the project, declared bankruptcy. Hoehn asked the time scale if their bid is viewed as favorable and Higgins replied she would expect to see activity within two weeks after the bid is accepted.

• Attorney Higgins added May 25 will be the first Riverbend Market. Councilwoman-at-Large Higgins stated Riverbend is in full swing with the recent wine fest, Relay for Life coming up, and Cabela’s being here on the May 20, which is a national event.

• Acting as the Water Utilities Board, Superintendent Gray asked for permission to send his whole crew of employees to training in Huntingburg on May 18. They will need to take city vehicles, but will not need the city credit card.

The travel was approved.

• Attorney Higgins said the board had discussion about Umbaugh and Associates being retained as financial advisors to work on the rate study for the water rate increase, but they should, for the record, officially retain them and authorize Mayor Curtis to sign the agreement regarding such.

‘Rate hikes’ continued from Page A1 his staff finding alternative ways of doing things at a reduced cost.

Gray said they will shave about $800,000 in costs by using the belt and frame press more, instead of an expensive centrifuge.

Attorney Higgins called to council’s attention that there is a new page 12 on both the water and the sewer rate studies from Umbaugh, a comparison chart showing where Mount Vernon ranks with communities in the area of similar size. In sewer rates, Mount Vernon will be at $42.28 average monthly billing, based on usage of 4,000 gallons or 533 cubic feet.

Boonville is at the lowest end of the scale at $36.12 and Chandler is the highest at $69.42. She added Evansville is at $50.91.

On the comparison chart of water rates, Mount Vernon is presently at $30.08 monthly bill average and will go up to $31.92. This is about the middle of the chart, similar to Loogootee at $31.54. Boonville is again at the lowest end of the scale at $24.48 and Lynnville is the highest at $40.51. Evansville is at $21.39, phasing in their increases over the next four years.

Superintendent Gray said the new rate changes will not be re-

flected in this summer’s bills. “We use a summer monthly average rate because people are filling pools, washing cars, watering lawns etc.

They will notice a big rise in rate around November when it goes up and then there may be fireworks.”

Attorney Higgins stated she would like to thank everyone for their work and expediency on these ordinances. Now, the city will be able to utilize SRF funding and take advantage of the lower interest rates. Mayor Curtis stated that, “This has been done on a tight schedule. We are very fortunate that it all went through in time and we can take advantage of the savings.”

In other council action: • Ordinance 17-11 passed as an amendment to the 2017 Salary Ordinance. It switched a sewer employee from hourly to salary, per his request.

• Councilwoman Becky Higgins presented Police Chief Tony Alldredge, Fire Chief Wes Dixon and ACO Officer Youngblood with checks in varying amounts, donated by the Bicentennial Committee from money raised at celebratory events last year. The trio’s groups helped in many ways at the events

and they wanted to show appreciation for that. Higgins said the committee would like the money earmarked for education/safety for the kids. Mayor Curtis joked, “Thanks, we’ll do that again in 100 years!”

• About the problem of heavy trucks using subdivision roads above the weight limits, Fourth District Councilman Clements reported that last month there were about 10 trucks illegally on Vista Drive again. “I don’t know where officers are sitting when they are patrolling the area,” he remarked.

Police Chief Tony Alldredge replied that his officers patrol in many areas at the location and this month they had three citizen complaint calls. One ticket was written, the other two could not be found on the road. Chief Alldredge said when someone calls in a complain, that call goes to dispatch, who send the officer out.

If the police observe the truck in a restricted area, a citation is issued.

If the police do not witness the truck personally, they cannot issue one. Councilman Andy Hoehn asked if a picture or video would suffice? Attorney Higgins replied the officer really needs to make a

C The dual goals of our criminal justice system are to maximize public safety and to ensure the fair and impartial administration of justice.

The system operates with ďŹ ve components – law enforcement, prosecutors, defense attorneys, the judiciary and corrections. Each plays a key role in the process.

Law enforcement agencies investigate allegations of acts determined to be illegal by Congress or state legislatures. Investigations begin when an agency or oďŹƒcer suspects that a crime has been committed or when the agency receives a citizen’s complaint or a report from a crime victim.

After receiving investigative reports, prosecuting attorneys determine whether criminal charges should be ďŹ led. Proposed charges may be submitted to a grand jury or to a judge who then determines whether there is suďŹƒcient probable cause to proceed with prosecution.

Prosecutors are not simply responsible for obtaining convictions. Their job is to obtain justice

MAY 16, 2017

Our criminal justice system: Balancing the goals of public safety and justice for the accused, the community and the victim.

A person accused of a crime is arrested or summoned to appear in court. He has the right to be considered for release before trial.

He should be released pre-trial unless the state convinces a judge that he is a ight risk or a danger to the community. A person should not be held in jail simply because he lacks the money to post bail.

Everyone accused of a crime has the right to be represented by an attorney and, if the accused is facing a jail or prison sentence and is without funds, he has the right to a court-appointed attorney. It is the job of the defense attorney to ensure that the defendant’s constitutional rights are protected and to represent him zealously within the bounds of the law.

A defendant chooses to have a jury trial or a trial before a judge.

In either case, he is presumed to be innocent.

Benjamin Franklin said that “it is better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suer.â€? That belief -- translated into the “presump-

tion of innocence� -- is one of the most important foundations of our constitutionally-based criminal justice system The presumption of innocence is not overcome unless a judge or jury concludes that the defendant is guilty “beyond a reasonable doubt� after a trial at which he need not testify nor present any evidence, but is entitled to a faceto-face confrontation and a right to question his accusers.

Even if convicted, the defendant has a right to appeal to a higher court – again, with the assistance of an attorney.

Nearly three-fourths of Indiana’s criminal cases are resolved with plea agreements and another 18 percent are dismissed, according to Indiana Judicial Service.

Plea negotiations allow the state and the defendant to settle cases without the expense and risk of trial and by negotiating outcomes that are fair and just for each party.

Judges preside over trials, consider whether to accept or reject plea agreements and sentence defendants who are convicted. In deciding what penalty should be imposed, judges have discretion

within a range of penalties established by the legislature. Judges consider the severity of the offense, the character and history of the defendant and the statement of any victim in sentencing.

Criminal convictions carry serious consequences. The judge may require a period of imprisonment served in a jail, prison, workrelease facility or in home with electronic surveillance. Probation can include mental health or substance abuse treatment, community service, ďŹ nes and payment of restitution to a victim.

Criminal convictions may also result in the loss of valuable civil

rights and make it diďŹƒcult for oenders to obtain employment, housing, licensing or student loans. Indiana permits some persons to expunge old convictions, lessening the impact of those convictions in the future.

All of the components of our criminal justice system must constantly work to improve the administration of justice. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.�

In one of the greatest political speeches ever made Jesus told the audience on the Mount they were hypocrites who could find the minute faults in others while ignoring their own major failings (Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 5).

Muslims, to whom Jesus is second only to Muhammad as a prophet, and Christians, to whom Jesus is a god, might wish to reread his teachings on human relations. Other peoples might benefit too.

Those of you who have slogged through the most recent Gavel Gamut articles might recall the major topic has been the difficulty of one nation, say North Korea or Iran, understanding the true

The Mote vs Log Conundrum intent of another nation, say the United States of America, and vice versa. Differing languages often cause what might start as hurt feelings to end with bloodshed.

It is hardly a novel thought that countries, just as individuals, often seek to impose upon others restrictions they refuse to abide by themselves. If we concentrate on comparing and contrasting America and Iran and/ or North Korea, outside observers might conclude one country that has thousands of nuclear weapons is threatening to use them to annihilate countries who attempt to even develop one.

Such an investigator might observe that one country strains to dispose of billions

of tons of wasted food while it imposes dire economic consequences on countries whose populations are starving.

When it comes to health care one country debates at length the investment in care for its most vulnerable citizens while it spends trillions to rain munitions instead of medicines down upon countries which stubbornly refuse to agree such an approach is altruistic.

If Jesus was correct in his speech (promise?) that “blessed are the peacemakers�, what might we assume the war makers will reap?

They probably will not gain acceptance as “sons of godâ€?, more likely as sons of‌.

Guest Column: State Rep. Wendy McNamara Ensuring Public Safety Supporting public safety is among my top priorities. That’s why this legislative session, I voted in favor of new laws increasing safety on our roadways and protecting our communities, including: Keeping our Roads Safe: A new law cracking down on those who consistently drive under the inuence will make our roads safer. Suspended drivers under Indiana’s habitual traďŹƒc violator laws will receive a stricter punishment if they ee the scene of an accident or kill someone due to their reckless behavior behind the wheel.

Protecting Hoosier Communities: A new law aims to keep those who repeatedly violate their probation or community supervision o the streets. Low-level oenders receiving services like addiction treatment can now be committed to the Department of Correction if they don’t adhere to their probation, parole or community corrections.

Addressing Serious Crime: A new law increases penalties for meth cooks and heroin dealers and allows for more reporting of drug-related felonies to a national database. It also addresses those who act violently toward pregnant women or put children in harm’s way.

You deserve to be safe from those who display criminal behaviors and can be a threat to the public.

Critics of the Trump administration have compared the President’s actions, including the dismissal of FBI Director James Comey, to the “Saturday Night Massacre� of the Watergate scandal. Pundits may debate the comparison, but the massacre remains a hallmark of the two years of Watergate.

In one of the deďŹ ning moments of the saga, President Nixon demanded the ďŹ ring of special prosecutor Archibald Cox on Saturday evening, Oct. 20, 1973. The demand came in response to Cox’s subpoena of Nixon’s taped Oval OďŹƒce conversations.

Attorney General Elliott Richardson refused to comply with Nixon’s order that Saturday evening, and resigned in protest. Nixon then ordered the deputy attorney general, William Ruckelshaus, to carry out the ďŹ ring, but he also refused and resigned.

Finally, Robert Bork, who was third in line at the Justice Department as solicitor general, adhered to Nixon’s demand, and Cox was dismissed. Public sentiment turned and calls for Nixon’s impeachment intensiďŹ ed from the episode, which the press dubbed “The Saturday Night Massacre.â€? “It was the culmination of all the drama that had built up from the scandal,â€? said Duquesne University law dean Ken Gormley, an acclaimed Cox biographer. “It was evident that there would be a showdown, and it was clear that Nixon was going to test the outer boundaries of the law to defy Cox.â€?

Questions surrounding the botched Watergate burglary of June 17, 1972 led to a Senate investigation the next March. A series of resignations followed on April 30, including top Nixon aides H.R. Haldeman and John Erlichman and Attorney General Richard Kleindienst. Richardson, who had been appointed Secretary of Defense in January 1973, replaced Kleindienst.

Senate hearings began on May 17 and two days later Cox, a respected Harvard law professor, was appointed as special prosecutor.

Cox’s position was deďŹ ned as “career reserved,â€? under the authority of the Attorney General and protected

from dismissal unless “for cause.�

Named solicitor general in the Kennedy administration, Cox came from a long line of distinguished public servants. He was a greatgrandson of William Evarts, who, ironically, defended President Andrew Johnson during the ďŹ rst impeachment of a chief executive in 1868. “Cox was careful, conscious, and principled, and was an independent thinker, like Evarts was,â€? said Gormley. “His goal was not to bring down Nixon, or advance himself. He wanted to apply the rule of law.â€?

On July 16, former Nixon aide Alexander ButterďŹ eld stunned the nation with Senate testimony that Nixon had installed a recording system in the Oval OďŹƒce.

Cox and the Senate Committee requested the tapes, only to be rebued by Nixon, who claimed executive privilege.

Cox and the committee then subpoenaed the tapes.

Nixon ordered the subpoena dropped, but Cox refused.

The matter was turned over to the Supreme Court.

Nixon oered a compromise on Friday, Oct. 19, 1973 by which Sen. John Stennis (D-Miss.) would independently review the many hours of tapes and present a ďŹ nding to Cox’s oďŹƒce. The choice of Stennis, an elderly man with a hearing problem who was recovering from a January shooting, raised eyebrows.

Cox refused this “Stennis Compromise� and held a press conference the next afternoon to address his position. “There just happened to be fewer football games on television than normal that day, and more people watched the press conference,� said Gormley. “They saw Cox’s forceful conviction and integrity on display, and people connected with that.�

Shortly after the press conference, Richardson received a call from Nixon chief of sta Alexander Haig, relaying the President’s order that Cox be ďŹ red. Richardson met with Nixon, refused, and oered his resignation. The order then passed to Ruckelshaus, who also refused to dismiss Cox and resigned.

Finally, Bork acted on

Nixon’s demand.

FBI agents were then ordered to seal the oďŹƒces of Richardson, Ruckelshaus, and Cox. The White House announced the events at 8:30 that evening as the nation looked on in amazement.

NBC News anchor John Chancellor grimly reported “what may be the most serious Constitutional crisisâ€? in American history. The press later nicknamed the aair “The Saturday Night Massacre,â€? and the public erupted over the spectacle.

Congress introduced several resolutions for Nixon’s impeachment, and Cox became a sympathetic ďŹ gure.

Some 450,000 mailgrams and telegrams were received at the Capitol and White House in the coming days, many supporting Cox’s integrity and demanding the President’s impeachment. “I can’t tell you how many people I’ve talked to in their ďŹ fties, sixties, and seventies who can tell you where they were, and what they were doing, when they heard the news of the massacre,â€? remarked Gormley.

Nixon never recovered from the massacre and resigned on Aug. 9, 1974 in the face of certain impeachment. “After Cox was ďŹ red, the outcome was somewhat inevitable,â€? said Gormley. “The Supreme Court then demanded that Nixon turn over the tapes, which contained damning information that showed he was involved in the Watergate cover-up. There was no room for political maneuvering, and it was increasingly clear that Nixon was going out either by impeachment or resignation.â€?

By comparison, one contemporary declared that Cox “became a permanent American hero.� He eventually returned to Harvard, continued his distinguished career, and died in 2004. “Cox was an incredible public servant, and uniquely suited for that crisis,� concluded Gormley. “He spent his whole life admiring the American system of laws, and his role in Watergate was not about his own career. Cox was standing up for our institution of government.�

Vikings tromp Southridge

By Dave Pearce Spring sports are, by nature, accustomed to being cancelled, postponed, moved, etc., depending on how spring weather in Southern Indiana wants to cooperate. This year’s season has been one of the worst in recent years. But the North Posey Lady Viking softball team made up about two weeks of games in five days this week as the team played seven games in five days and moved their record to 12-9 on the season.

The Vikings picked up an impressive win over conference foe Southridge earlier

in the month as they defeated Southridge by a score of 11-6.

Viking senior Ally Brandenstein broke out of her senior shell as she cracked two home runs against the Raiders and finished 3-for4 at the plate scoring three times and driving in seven of the team’s 11 runs.

Several Vikings finished with two hits apiece as Evelyn Mauer, Kim Kissel, Mallory Lowe, Hannah Ogg, Kaitlyn Blankenberger, and Rylie Farr each had two hits apiece as the Vi-

Mount Vernon making noise on the diamond

By Brandon Cole The Mount Vernon High School Wildcats baseball team continues to improve as they bring their record to 14-8. With wins over Evansville Harrison, Mount Carmel, Linton Stockton and North Posey, the hometown boys are beginning to make some noise.

Even in the games they lost this week, (Jasper: 4-3, Washington: 4-3) they were sharp. They came up one run short in both contests.

The weather is getting nice outside and this team is definitely heating up for a late-season run.

Tanner Curtis started the game for the Wildcats. He pitched two innings, surrendering four runs, and four hits.

The Wildcats collected nine hits.

Brakie and Hensley each managed two hits to lead the Wildcats.

North Posey had ten hits in the game. Voegel and Motz each collected multiple hits for North Posey. Voegel went 3-for-5 at the plate, as he led the team with four runs batted in.

The game was tied at one with the Wildcats batting in the top of the sixth. Nathan Burke grounded out, but one run scored.

The pitching was strong on both sides. Pitchers for the Wildcats struck out two, while Linton-

Vikings hold their own on track Special to the News On Tuesday, May 9, the girls made the long journey by bus to Tell City for the Pocket Athletic Conference Girls Meet and finished by besting two teams with a total of 31 points. Final scores were: Heritage Hills with 137.5, Southridge with 106.5, Gibson Southern with 104.5, Forest Park with 79, Tell City with 67, South Spencer with 61, North Posey with 31, Tecumseh with 19.5 and Pike Central with 18.

Scoring for the North Posey girls were Hannah Voegel fifth in the long jump. Elise O’Risky enjoyed a very good night with a fifth place finish in the 100 meter dash, while the 400 relay team of Madi Cates, Sam Little, Hannah Voegel, and O’Risky finished with in fifth place. Perry was sixth in the 400 and O’Risky was seventh in the 200. The girls are next in action at the sectional in Mount Vernon today.

On Thursday, May 11, the North Posey boys team traveled to Tell City to compete in the 77th Annual Pocket Athletic Conference Boys Meet with their host taking the win.

The final scores of the day were: Tell City 132.5, Gibson Southern 90, Heritage Hills 83, South Spencer 79, North Posey 76.5, Forest Park 75, Pike Central 54, Southridge 25, and Tecumseh 8.

The boys had a very good meet with Josh Wiggins and the 400 relay team leading the way. Wiggins won the 110 hurdles and set the conference meet record with a time of 14.77 (the old record had been set by Dexter Childress of Forest Park in 2009). The 400 relay team of Alex Stewart, Isaac Mayer, Wiggins, and Luke Gries also made some noise by besting the old conference record

of 44.14 (set in 2012 by a team from Gibson Southern) with a time of 43.79.

“This team has been running well all year,” said Coach Mike Kuhn. “And tonight they made their marks on conference history,” he added.

Wiggins was only beginning his stellar performance. In the 300 hurdles he finished just shy of the meet record of 39.22 (set by North Posey’s Nick Hargrave in 2004) with a time of 40.7. In the long jump Wiggins was winning when South Spencer’s Kipper Johnson (seeded third with a jump of 19 feet, 10 inches) jumped 21 feet to win the meet.

Wiggins had jumped 20 feet, 10 and a half inches, which was good enough for second place.

It turned out to be the second of two-second place finishes for the Viking tracksters as David Bender nearly nipped Garrison Tretter of Forest Park at the finish line with a time of 52.5. Scoring third for the Vikings was Freshman Kyle Stewart in the 100 with an excellent time of 11.5 with Mayer right behind him for 4th. Mayer also finished with a fourth-place ribbon in the 200. Senior Cameron Fisher finished sixth in the 300 hurdles and was seventh in the 110 hurdles. Bender finished with a eighth place ribbon in the 200 and an eighth place ribbon in the 1600 relay along with teammates Austin Pearison, Drake Rogers, and Jack Heldt. Senior Willy Howard also finished eighth in the 1600 run along with Dylan Butts in the discus throw.

Both boys and girls teams will participate in the sectionals next week with the girls traveling to Mount Vernon on today for a showdown with area teams while the boys will head to Evansville Central on Thursday.

Two Wildcat golfers earn All-Conference

By Brandon Cole Mount Vernon competed well at the Big-8 Conference and finished in third place behind Vincennes and Jasper at Christmas Lake.

Leading the way for the Cats was Joe Allbright with an 82 and Collin Jackson with an 83. Allbright and Jackson both earned Big-8 All Conference.

Jackson May shot an 88, while Zach Rutledge and Kyle Krieger came in with a score of 98.

Mount Vernon swept a win on the road this week at the Rustic Golf Club by defeating Boonville and South Spencer.

Leading the way for the Cats was Jackson May with a 43, while Joe Allbright and Kyle Krieger carded 44. Zach Rutledge finished with 48.

Mount Vernon shot a 179, while Boonville (181) and South Spencer (219) rounded out the team scores.

Mount Vernon began their week with a victory on the road by defeating Harrison, 165-219.

Leading the way for the Cats was Joe Allbright with a 38 and Freshman Jackson May carding a 39. Zach Rutledge came in with a 43, while Kyle Krieger and Collin Jackson shot a 45.

Mount Vernon squared off against Evansville North and North Posey yesterday after the newspaper deadline.

The boys will be back in action at the Washington Invite at Country Oaks on Saturday. They will tee off at 8 a.m.

‘Vikings Softball’ continued from Page B1 kings scored their runs on 17 hits. Seniors Jordyn Miller and Elise Lewis also got in on the action as they pounded hits, as well.

Evelyn Mauer pitched five-and-two-thirds innings for the Vikings and Megan Brenton came in to finish off the Raiders.

Next up for the Vikings was South Spencer, fresh off a victory over one of the state’s best Class 3A teams, the Jasper Wildcats and Pike Central, a very good hitting team.

Both pitchers did what they were supposed to do and the defenses played well behind them as the Rebels scored the only run in the contest in the third inning and the pitching and defense made it stand up. The Vikings had two errors in the contest. Senior Hannah Ogg took the loss.

Only seniors Ally Brandenstein and Kaitlyn Blankenberger were able to come up with hits against the Rebels.

“We had chances to score but we just couldn’t get the hits when we needed them,” Coach Gary Gentil said of the game against South Spencer. “But we played a good defensive game.”

But with finals, a frenetic schedule, and graduation staring them in the face, the Lady Vikings traveled to Pike Central and laid the proverbial egg against an opportunistic Charger squad. The Vikings gave up four runs in the first and six in the second and were never able to get back into the game as they also committed six errors on the night.

“In the Pike Central game, it was obvious that the girls were sluggish,” Gentil said.

“We did not get off the bus ready to play and we got runruled.”

Again, the Vikings were able to come up with only two hits, once by Brandenstein and the other by Ogg. Then on the very next evening, the Vikings were forced to face 18-2 Gibson Southern, a team that is expected to go deep into the tournament when sectional action begins next week.

“Honestly, for playing Gibson Southern, I thought we played well,” Gentil said.

“We had a couple of baserunners in scoring position two or three times but just never could get them around to score. There was a time or two where we were unable to get the bunts down and change the pace of the game.”

Titan senior pitcher and University of Evansville signee Jamie Nurrenbern lived up to her billing as she used a variety of pitches and a variety of speeds and spins to pick up the 5-0 win.

But the Vikings proved they could hit the big-time pitcher as Brandenstein led the team with two hits. Mauer, Kissel, Ogg, and senior Courtney Silver all had hits for the Vikings.

Ogg took the loss as she gave up five runs on only seven hits and two walks.

Four of the runs were earned runs. The Vikings committed one error in the contest.

“Despite not getting the

win, I was proud of the way the girls came back after the representation they had given at Pike the night before,” Gentil said. “We had a runner at third and another time we had runners at second and third but just couldn’t get a run across.”

Then at Evansville Central, the hosts scored one run in the first inning and that was enough as the Vikings bats again went cold. Brandenstein again had a pair of hits to lead the team while Mauer, Mallory Lowe, and Elise Lewis each had hits.

Rykie Farr drew a walk.

Mauer gave up only three hits and one walk while helping her own cause with a double but the one run proved to be enough.

Then on Friday night, the Vikings pulled out a 7-6 win over a good 12-5 Wood Memorial team. The Trojans have several athletes from the team that won the girls’ state basketball team earlier in the season and the Vikings were able to come away with the win.

The Vikings then split the remaining two games of the week, defeating a good Vincennes Alices squad 4-2 before falling to an excellent pitcher and Pinckneyville, Ill., squad.

“We struggled against Pinckneyville but they are 28-6 and they had probably the fastest pitcher we have seen all season,” Gentil said.

“We were just unable to get anything going against her.”

The Vikings will host 16-2 and sixth-ranked in Class 3A Boonville on senior night Wednesday before traveling to Washington to face the Lady Hatchets on Thursday to play their final regularseason game.

The Vikings drew the bye in the sectional and will face host Forest Park in the late game on Tuesday night. On opening night, favorite Mater Dei will square off against upstart South Spencer in the opener. The winner of that contest will face the winner of the Tell City-Perry Central game in the first game on Tuesday night.

The final will be played on Wednesday evening.

Vikings kill it on the court

By Conner Voegel As the regular season comes to a close, all of the players need to remember a couple things. First, for the seniors, cherish these last matches. With only sectionals and one game left, your season can come to a close at any time.

Whether you believe it or not, you will miss some aspects of high school, and athletics is for sure one you will miss.

Next, for the underclassmen: When sectionals are over, you are one step closer to your senior year. Again, treasure all of the practices, matches, and bus rides, because someday soon, you will not be able to. Finally, for all players, continue to fight until your very last point. Tennis is never over until someone wins the last point. Always fight, always leave everything out on that court, and always have fun while you are out there. If you do not do these things, I can bet, in the near future, you will regret it.

The Lady Vikings started off the long week against Wood Memorial. While the travel was long, the matches were short. One singles, Amanda Marshall, quickly won 6-1, 6-1, and two singles, Baylee Willman, followed shortly after winning 6-4, 6-1, and three singles, Annie Goetz, won 6-3, 6-1. The doubles were no different. One doubles, Kamryn Brandenstein and Kennady Livers won 6-3, 6-4, and two doubles, Kendra Schorr and Veronica Inkenbrandt won 6-1, 6-4. The varsity ended up going 5-0 on the night and the junior varsity went 2-2. Next, the Vikings traveled to Evansville Bosse. With only three courts, the night was long. Marshall ended up winning 6-1, 6-1, Willman won 6-3, 6-1, and Goetz won 6-2, 6-0.

For doubles, Schorr and Inkenbrandt won 6-0, 7-6 and Brandenstein and Christine Scheller won 6-0, 6-0. North Posey swept the entire match with varsity going 5-0 and junior varsity going 2-0.

Next on the list was Conference rival, Tell City. The Vikings also celebrated Senior Night as five senior tennis players look on toward their future. On the

Photo by Dave Pearce night, Marshall won 6-1, 6-3, Willman won 6-1. 6-2, and Goetz came out victorious 6-0, 6-1. For the doubles, Schorr and Inkenbrandt won 6-1, 6-4 while Brandenstein and Scheller won 6-0, 6-2. On the night, the varsity went 5-0 while the junior varsity went 3-1.

Finally, the Vikings traveled to Gibson Southern. While the scores may not seem like it, many of the Viking players put up great fights. Marshall ended up losing a tough match 6-0, 6-1, Goetz lost 6-0, 6-1, and Katlyn Downey lost 6-1, 6-0. For the doubles, Schorr and Inkenbrandt lost 6-3, 6-1 while Brandenstein and Scheller fell

7-6, 6-0. The junior varsity went 0-7 on the night. The Vikings had an impressive 10-6 record on the season.

With one week of school left, for most, three days, the seniors are looking forward to graduation.

The Vikings will start off the week at Mount Vernon against Central.

The Vikings fell to Central about two weeks ago on the Bears’ home courts in Evansville. For updates throughout the weeks on times please look at the North Posey Girls and Boys Tennis Facebook page. The Viking graduation will be on Friday, May 19, 2017, at 7 p.m.

Vikings nab two games, fall in three others

By Dave Pearce There was good news and bad news in Viking baseball this week. The good news, rain was finally not the big issue this week and the diamond Vikings completed every scheduled game for the first time this season. The bad news, the Vikings won two and lost three against some stiff competition.

The week began Monday with the Vikings traveling to Petersburg to take on Pocket Athletic Conference opponent Pike Central. The Chargers placed senior Colton White on the mound and the Vikings countered with Shane Harris.

“We figured that we would face Colton again this year.

He is one of the best pitchers in our conference. He can deliver all his pitches from different arm angles … he is very deceptive” said North Posey Baseball Coach Darrick Wiggins.

The Vikings struck first at the opening bell with one run off of a base hit by Harris, a stolen base by courtesy runner Dalton Cox and a RBI single by Corey Heath. Not to be outdone, the Chargers countered with two of their own in the first, two more in the third, and one in the fifth to take their lead up to 5-1.

The Vikings scored three runs in the sixth inning to pull within one run. Then, in the top of the seventh the Vikings scored on a base hit

by Cody Reese, and pinch runner Ethan Morlock was driven in by back-to-back hits by Corey Heath and Dalton Rankin to tie the score.

After holding the Chargers in the bottom of the seventh, the Vikings eventually ended up losing a heartbreaker to the eighth inning. The Char-

gers took the win, 6-5. Corey Heath led the Viking offense getting three hits out of four appearances at the plate. Later that night the North Posey junior varsity won decisively over the Chargers in three innings.

Tuesday, the Forest Park Rangers journeyed to Poseyville in another conference game. The Vikings pitched Ethan Morlock and he did very well by keeping the good-hitting Rangers off balance for most of his three innings. Morlock began to have difficulty in the fourth inning, so the Vikings went to the bullpen and called upon Dalton Rankin. Rankin came in with the bases loaded, but he slowed down the Rangers momentum by allowing just two runners to score and getting out of the jam by striking out the seven and eight hitters in their lineup. Rankin also kept the Rangers off the bases for the rest of the game.

Morlock and Rankin combined for eight strikeouts in a tremendous outing for the seniors. Wiggins said “this was one of our seasons’ best performances, both pitchers did an excellent job of pitching tonight.” The Vikings scored four runs in the fourth inning on a hit by Wes Voegel, a walk to Corey Heath, an RBI single by Dalton Rankin and a three-run homerun by Brandon Hamman. The Vikings were led offensively by Rankin who went 2-for-3 on the night.

The Vikings got the big conference win by a 4-2 count.

Thursday was senior night for the girl’s tennis team as well as the baseball team. A short ceremony took place following the baseball game.

The Vikings were in for a

Corey Heath was on the mound for the Vikings and he was up for the challenge.

Heath pitched a complete game for the Vikings. The right-handed hurler allowed the Pioneers only six hits and struck out five batters.

“Corey was disrupting their timing all night long, he made them hit into 15 ground ball outs. That is a sign that he was making them hit the pitches that he wanted them to. He pitched a great game and his defense played well behind him.” Wiggins commented. Offensively, the Vikings struggled to get going.

They were able to push only one run across and that was in the first inning. Boonville took home the 4-1 win on se-

nior night.

Friday the Vikings traveled to Washington School to face Evansville Bosse. The Vikings pitched Wes Voegel for six innings and Grant Parker in the seventh. The hurlers kept the Bulldogs in check by allowing just four runs on seven hits and they struck out six batters. Offensively the Vikings were led

by Dalton Rankin who went 2-for-5 and Wes Voegel was 2-for-3. But it was a group effort as the Vikings scored nine runs on nine hits. The Vikings came home with the 9-4 win.

On Saturday, North Posey hosted (14-8) Mount Vernon in a county match-up that always seems to be close. This one didn’t disappoint as well.

Both teams started the morning with depleted bullpens

‘Wildcats baseball’ continued from Page B1 It came down to the last play, but Mount Vernon was on the wrong end of a 4-3 defeat to Washington on Friday. The game was tied at three with Washington batting in the bottom of the eighth, when Daniel Devine singled off of Bryan Hensley, driving in one run.

The Wildcats lost despite out-hitting Washington eight-to-seven.

Mount Vernon captured the lead in the second inning.

With one out in the second inning, Nathan Fischer drove in one run when he singled.

Washington evened things up at three in the bottom of the sixth inning. Gage Latham hit into a fielder’s choice, scoring one run.

Bryan Hensley took the loss for the Wildcats. He pitched one and one-third innings, giving up one run, two hits, striking out four, and walking one.

Walker Paris started the game for the Wildcats. He pitched four innings, allowing two runs, three hits and striking out two.

Austin Brakie and Fischer each drove in one run to lead the Wildcats.

Ben Lambert went 2-for2 at the plate to lead Washington in hits. Washington didn’t commit a single error in the field. Marcus Thorne had seven chances in the field, the most on the team.

The Wildcats scored four runs in the first inning, followed by one run in the second and third and another five in the fourth. Mount Vernon tallied 13 hits in the one-sided victory.

9th Annual

Golf Scramble COUNTRY MARK COURSE—MT.VERNON

Saturday, June 10, 2017 Shotgun start at 9:00AM Prizes to be awarded

I would like to thank everyone for their present and past support of this important event.

Chairman Ed Adams

from a week of make-up games. Mount Vernon was in even worse position because of a scheduled game against Linton-Stockton later that day. Both starters, Tanner Curtis for Mount Vernon and Dyllan Riordan for North Posey were struggling with command early on.

The Vikings were forced to go to the bullpen early and they called upon Reid Smith to close out the first inning. By the second inning the Wildcats had scored nine runs and the Vikings had went through Riordan and Smith. In the second inning the Vikings went to Hunter Alkire who seemed to slow the Wildcats down for a three innings. In the fifth, the Vikings went to Shane Harris and Ethan Morlock pitched the sixth and seventh. Af-

ter the dust had cleared the Wildcats had put up 13 runs on eight hits.

But the Vikings hadn’t given up yet. The Vikings nibbled their way back into the game little by little.

They scored two runs in the first and two runs in the second off Curtis. The Wildcats went to lefty reliever Jackson Elaman who pitched up into the seventh inning. The Vikings scored one run in the fourth, one in the fifth and four in the sixth to pull within three runs.

In the seventh inning the Vikings put one run across and had the bases loaded and the Wildcats went to Austin Brakie for the final out.

Leading the way for the Vikings was Jarrett Motz who was 2-for-4, Shane Harris was 1-for-2 with three walks and Wes Voegel who was 3-for-5 with a home run, the first in the junior’s career.

The Vikings put up 11 runs on ten hits. Another exciting game with the Wildcats getting the 13-11.

Wiggins said, “It was a good week for this team regardless of the scores, we are finally starting to play together as a team should, by not giving up. And this Mount Vernon game showed that we had some guts. We just need to keep it going.”

This week, the Vikings play Washington Monday at home, Tuesday they travel to Tecumseh for a doubleheader and they are at Tell City Saturday afternoon.

The following week the Vikings will take on Princeton in a make-up game on Monday night and then they will begin their Sectional play Thursday against Mater Dei at South Spencer.

Patrols strengthened for Click It or Ticket Lynn faces DUI, resisting charges Special to the News The Posey County Sheriff Office announced today its participation in the national and statewide 2017 Click It or Ticket enforcement mobilization occurring May 12 - June 4, 2017. Officers will join more than 250 state and local law enforcement agencies, and thousands more across the country, to conduct highvisibility patrols encouraging drivers and passengers to buckle up.

Click It or Ticket is an annual enforcement effort supported by federal funding allocated to Posey County Sheriff Office from the Traffic Safety division of the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI).

A total of six officers from the Posey County Sheriff Office will work overtime to conduct seat belt patrols around the

clock. According to ICJI, in 2016, there were 827 people killed on Indiana roadways. Of those fatalities, 36 percent were found to be unrestrained.

Indiana law enforcement agencies have been actively involved in the Click It or Ticket campaign for over 20 years. In addition, for 2017, Indiana agencies will join those from across the Eastern half of the United States in a combined “Border to Border” mobilization. On May 22 from 4 - 8 p.m. this joint mobilization will be a driving force for seat belt safety, and un-belted, whether driving or riding, will result in a ticket.

ALCOHOL AND DRUGS DON’T MIX WITH GRADUATION For Posey County High School Seniors, graduation day is right around the corner and it is a time of excitement for students and parents alike. Sadly, and all too often, the use of illegal drugs or alcohol can derail a student’s promising future and even end in tragedy.

We all know that drinking alcohol before you are 21 is illegal, but many teens don’t appreciate that drinking reduces inhibitions and may lead to further bad decisions, such as drunk driving or putting oneself in vulnerable or dangerous situations. Once drinking starts, reduced judgement can lead to a number of serious consequences.

People who participate in underage drinking or the consumption of drugs may be arrested and face criminal charges that could lead to jail, fines and embarrassment.

But the damage does not stop there as students may lose scholarships or even college acceptance. For those pursuing opportunities in the armed forces an arrest could lead to the loss of military eligibility.

It is also important to address the role parents and guardians have during this exciting yet crucial time in a teen’s life.

Simply put, you are still the example of good choices. Parents or guardians who host parties where alcohol is available for underage consumption are showing minors it is, “Okay,” to break the law. Often there is the mistaken belief that parents can provide a safe environment for drinking. This simply isn’t true and anyone who allows underage drinking on their premises may face civil and or criminal liability for what may occur to minors at such a party.

Let’s all do our part this graduation season and celebrate responsibly to ensure a bright and promising future for our Posey County graduates.

Congratulations 2017 Posey County Graduates

ALCOHOL AND DRUGS DON’T MIX WITH GRADUATION For Posey County High School Seniors, graduation day is right around the corner and it is a time of excitement for students and parents alike. Sadly, and all too often, the use of illegal drugs or alcohol can derail a student’s promising future and even end in tragedy.

We all know that drinking alcohol before you are 21 is illegal, but many teens don’t appreciate that drinking reduces inhibitions and may lead to further bad decisions, such as drunk driving or putting oneself in vulnerable or dangerous situations. Once drinking starts, reduced judgement can lead to a number of serious consequences.

People who participate in underage drinking or the consumption of drugs may be arrested and face criminal charges that could lead to jail, fines and embarrassment.

But the damage does not stop there as students may lose scholarships or even college acceptance. For those pursuing opportunities in the armed forces an arrest could lead to the loss of military eligibility.

It is also important to address the role parents and guardians have during this exciting yet crucial time in a teen’s life.

Simply put, you are still the example of good choices. Parents or guardians who host parties where alcohol is available for underage consumption are showing minors it is, “Okay,” to break the law. Often there is the mistaken belief that parents can provide a safe environment for drinking. This simply isn’t true and anyone who allows underage drinking on their premises may face civil and or criminal liability for what may occur to minors at such a party.

Let’s all do our part this graduation season and celebrate responsibly to ensure a bright and promising future for our Posey County graduates.

Local students awarded scholarship The 200 Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship recipients have been selected following a competitive selection process based on academic achievement, teacher nomination and an in-person interview. The scholarship pays up to $7,500 annually (up to $30,000 total) for students who commit to teaching in Indiana for five years after college graduation.

Posey County students who received the scholarship for the 201718 academic year are: Savannah Bush, Mount Vernon High School, University of Southern Indiana and

Aubrey Dyson, Mater Dei High School, Ball State University.

A total of 642 students applied for the Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship with applications coming from 274 high schools in 85 of the Indiana’s 92 counties.

About two-thirds of applicants were Indiana high school seniors with the remainder comprised of current college students.

“This scholarship reflects the appreciation we have for those pursuing a career in teaching – a critical and unique profession impacting the lives of every young Hoosier,” said

House Speaker Brian Bosma (R-Indianapolis), author of the legislation creating the scholarship. “Congratulations to all of these recipients, and it is our hope your talent and passion for teaching inspires others to follow.”

To qualify for the scholarship, students had to either graduate in the highest 20 percent of their high school class or earn a score in the top 20th percentile on the SAT or ACT. To continue earning the scholarship in college, students must earn at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA and complete at least 30 credit hours per year.
