By Lois Mittino Gray Members of the Mount Vernon School Board hired Bobby “BJ” Aldridge to coach the high school basketball program at their May 21, meeting. The board met in Executive Session with Aldridge before the announcement was made public. He has coached at Georgetown College, Silver Grove High School in Kentucky, and most recently at South Dearborn High School in Aurora, Ind. He is a special education teacher on staff there and plans to relocate locally “as soon as Bobby “BJ”Aldridge possible.”

To give him more time to immerse himself in the program and meet his potential players, the board granted

By Lois Mittino Gray With the Jail Renovation Project nearing conclusion, a special meeting was called by the Posey County Commissioners on Thursday morning at the Hovey House to make a decision on upgrading the phone system, so it can be installed immediately, and keep the jail project moving along. The Commissioners approved a contract with Automated Office Solutions of Evansville for $66,719.00 to upgrade the county public phone system.

goodbye for now

By Pam Robinson After dedicating 30 years of her adult life to the MSD of North Posey, Susie Tooley celebrated her retirement Wednesday afternoon as North Posey Junior High School guidance counselor with colleagues, former employees and family. Her love for the school district started, however, as a toddler following in the footsteps of her father, Leonard Mauck. Her resignation letter sets forth the details best.

“I first set foot on the shiny, new floors of North Posey Jr/Sr High School in the 1959-60 school year, when I was 2 ½-years-old. My dad, Leonard Mauck, had just accepted a position as a teacher and coach in the newly consolidated school.

Little did I know that those halls and this school would be the center of my world for most of my life,” she writes. “I accompanied my dad to his

By Dave Pearce Anyone who has ever been involved in coaching is aware that you typically don’t do it for the money.

However, as a result of action taken this week at the North Posey School Board meeting, some coaches at North Posey will receive a modest increase in the amount of compensation they receive for their positions.

In the meeting, held in the library

of South Terrace Elementary School on May 14, 2018, the board approved School Supt. Dr. Todd Camp’s request to approve the memorandum of understanding with the NEA of North Posey. As a result of the approval, there will be a stipend increase to $6,000 for the high school head baseball and softball coaches; an increase

By Lois Mittino Gray Heart-thumping motocross races will kick off the Posey County Fair this year as one of the first events on Sunday, July 15. “This year, we want to bring back the excitement of the races and we have added some new jumps to the course and a few other changes,” explained Brian Stallings, Motocross Chairman.

One major change is that “quads” or four wheelers have been invited back this year, after some absence, to participate in a second race category. “I can’t say this will be permanent, but we want to test it out,” Stallings commented.

Motocross is a word coined from a combination of motorcycle and

cross country. It is a timed race on a closed course consisting of winding dirt trails with hills, jumps, sharp turns, and often muddy terrain.

Participants fly and leap into the air and can come out a muddy mess.

Besides just the fun of mud, the track is wet down on purpose to keep the dust down.

Motocross participants can register their bikes starting at 6:30 a.m. that Sunday morning at the fairgrounds. There is a $30 fee to enter the point series. The series adds accumulated points through the year with prizes given at the end of the season. If someone would like to

Graduation is over ... time for the real world

It’s been two or three days since Friday night’s graduation and the reality of it all has had time to set in. The graduates have been honored by their parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, and other relatives. But by now, many are beginning to see that the party is over.

I’m not writing to discount at all the achievement of finishing 12 years of school and finally graduating. But I can remember shortly after my graduation, I was probably as frightened as I have been at any time in my life.

I had no idea what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. It seemed all my friends had it together. They all had jobs or college planned but I began to understand that with all this new freedom came a tremendous amount of responsibility, not to just everyone else but also to myself. Parents and well-wishing relatives all had a different idea of what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. The answers to the question at hand were almost as varied as the people attempting to answer it.

As an adult with a lot of years of water under the bridge, I can assure you that it’s OK to be uneasy or afraid. That’s part of growing. If there’s not a bit of uneasiness at this time in your life, I would say you are the one who is a little different.

Nearly every day for the past 12

years, like it or not, there has been someone there to prompt you to get up and go to the place you are accustomed to going. With graduation, this pattern is broken. For those going off to college, no one will be standing over you in the fall to make sure you get up and make it to class. No one will be questioning you as to whether or not you are completing your tasks. If you have a job while going to school, you are on your own when it comes to reporting for work and doing the job. Welcome to the real world.

For most of you, this will be one of the biggest steps ever in your learning process. You will find out right away that the world you believed revolved around you‌well, it doesn’t. And for you who thought just recently that you knew everything and had all the answers‌ well, you don’t on either count.

You will begin a gradual process of realizing that maybe, just maybe, your parents and grandparents knew a little more than you gave them credit for. And somewhere not too far down the road, if you are smart, you will be turning to them for advice. You see, they love you. But the professor in your chemistry class knows you as the student with the last four social security number digits of 4321. While most want you to succeed, they can quickly pick out which ones are there because they want to be and those who are there because they have to be. As a former professor myself, I can tell you that within two weeks, your teachers will know what kind of effort they are going to receive from you. I remember

When I moved into my new home 18 or so months ago, I decided that I was not going to make major additions to the landscape. I love gardening, but thought I was ready to downsize the quantity of plants and yard art.

Yeah, right. Hold that thought, Beth.

I added several rosebushes and vegetable garden beds and a few other perennials last summer. They perennials survived the winter and cold spring and are looking like they have decided to hang around for a while.

Over the winter, I started thinking that I could add just a few more plants in the yard. Just a few‌ My daughter helped move those thoughts along when she decided to convert her ower garden to a vegetable garden. Rather than just digging and discarding the many plants she had, she asked if I wanted any of them. Yup, I did. And so the garden grows!

I have, so far, divided the plants she provided into about thirty that needed a new space to live and grow: irises and gladiolus and lilies, and a peony, and clematis, and a couple of plants we aren’t completely sure about. All are doing well, I’m happy to report.

But the best part (so far!) of all the garden items shared is the ďŹ sh pond. I love the sound of water – rain, streams, fountains – so I’m looking forward to this major addition to my garden and landscape. The pond – preformed, kidney-shaped, holding about 50 gallons – is the perfect size. Not too big, not too small.

But it, too, must be “planted.â€? I have to dig a hole for it to live in. Umm‌OK. I moved the pond liner around the area of the yard where I thought it would best ďŹ t in with the mental plans I was working on for the new and improved garden. I continued my due diligence by calling to have underground utilities located so I didn’t puncture

a poster on the wall of one of my professors at Southern Illinois University. It read, “Your lack of adequately preparing in no way constitutes an emergency on my part.� I found that to be true.

It was Accounting 201. My 9 o’clock class was in the Tech building, on the extreme southern end of the campus. My accounting 201 class was in Lawson Hall, a full 12-minute fast walk from the last class. The problem was, I had 10 minutes between classes.

If you were not there when class began, the door was locked and you missed class.

Just knowing that Doctor Errickson would understand and feel sorry for me and allow me to walk in two to five minutes late each class, he laughed at me when I told him about my dilemma. It seems like you didn’t plan very well, he said. It’s your choice. You need to decide which class you intend to miss because the door on Lawson Hall locks at 9 a.m.

Yes, many of you have done well to this point preparing yourselves for college or a job or a technical school. But many of you haven’t.

For those who have, I compliment you on a job well-done thus far.

But it’s about to get tougher. Those decisions you thought were in stone sometimes change when the reality of requirements for schools or jobs set in.

Soon, the reality of the lack of spring break, fall break, Christmas Break, and summer break will kick in. Employers expect you to be at work on time and ready to work.

Often, the dream job turns out to be

more of a nightmare than a dream.

This has not been written to discourage any of you. I want you to realize that for those of you who were not good planners or were slackers in your high school years, Life 101 is just beginning. It’s a chance to start over. The GPA has been thrown out the window and you will soon be grading yourself and others will be grading you in LIFE 101.

For those of you who will admit to uncertainty, that’s a step in the

right direction. Seek out someone you trust to talk to. All we older folks have moved on to Life 201, 301, 601, and some are even working on their doctorates.

Do yourself a favor and allow adults to keep you from making some of the same mistakes they made. Listen to some of their regrets. Listen to some of the things for which they are proud. Glean from their experience. If you do, I guarantee your GPA in Life 101 will be better than you expected

something that is not to be punctured. Said utilities were duly located – right through the location I had envisioned for the water feature. I came home from work to ďŹ nd red spray paint marking the path of electric service to my home. Rats! OK. Plan B. I moved the liner around again for a few days and decided on an even better location, closer to the house and a bench to sit on and enjoy the soothing sounds of the water.

First, though, I have to get said preformed, kidney-shaped, holding-about-50 gallons pond liner into the ground. Which means digging a hole about ďŹ ve foot long by about three foot wide by about three foot deep. By hand. My hand. Oh, joy.

Actually, it’s going much better than I anticipated. I used spray paint to mark the outline of the pond and got started. My shovel is strong and sharp, and the dirt is soft and easy to dig through and is readily making quite a mound adjacent to the hole I am digging. However, my spray-painted dimensions were a bit o. I obviously don’t know how to handle a can of spray paint. I have shaved a little bit of dirt o one side and then stepped a bit harder on the shovel in another location and then dug a bit deeper. Place the pond form in the hole and‌take it out and do it all over again. And again. And again. It’s getting closer, but it’s not quite ready yet.

So, my goal for the weekend is to have the pond set and stabilized in it’s new home.

Daughter Laura and son-in-law Keith thoughtfully saved the water plants to go in the pond. They also provided stones to place around the pond so it looks more natural in the yard. Well, more natural than plastic, anyway. And then I plan to add ďŹ sh. The pond is deep enough for ďŹ sh to live through the winter as long as the water doesn’t freeze, hence the need for the fountain. At my former home I had several goldďŹ sh that lived for three years in the pond so the pond is a commitment!

I have spent, so far, only about three hours

digging the new home for the pond. I hope another hour or so will see the preformed pond nestled carefully in my yard. Another couple of hours to stack the stones around the edge of the pond. Another hour to decide that the stones are completely in the wrong spot.

An hour or so to get the pump and fountain working. And then add the plants. Then a couple of hours for the ďŹ sh to get acclimated prior to dumping them in their new home.

So, maybe, I’ll get the pond fully functional before heading back to work next week. And if it’s not ready, there’s really no hurry. I want to do it right, for the granddaughters (a couple of whom, I’m pretty sure, will decide to go ďŹ shing in Nana’s pond). And for me, as I continue to ďŹ nd ways to love my new home even more. Stay tuned for the story of the pond installation. It’s sure to be quite entertaining. And that’s all that matters!

Letters to the Editor Primary Election went smoothly, now on to November 6 Election Day Thank you, everyone who worked for Posey County during the 2018 Primary Election. From the Election Board and oďŹƒce help to those who worked the Polls, the two Saturdays before election at the Courthouse, and on election day, in the 21 polling areas and in the oďŹƒce. It takes a lot of help and cooperation to have a smooth election.

Everything seemed to go well this Election.

We are grateful for the 3,537 individuals who took the time to cast a ballot for the Primary Candidates. We had a total turnout of nearly 20 percent.

We want to thank Hawg ‘N Sauce for providing the wonderful lunch for the many oďŹƒce workers. We all appreciate your generosity.

Thanks also to the Sheri’s Department for the loan of their large cooler and ice.

We also want to take the opportunity to thank all the candidates who put their names on the ballot for this election. It is a diďŹƒcult

decision to make as you put yourself and your family into the limelight. Then, it is just as difďŹ cult to convince voters that you are the best candidate for the position. Some of these positions had three-four candidates, thanks to all these individuals.

Now that the voters have chosen their choice, we move on to the November 6 ballot. Some will add their names as competitors for an oďŹƒce, and others will run for the two local School Boards. Please take the time to research the information they are using to advertise themselves as candidates and Government employees for the future of our county.

As of May 8, we have 18,074 registered voters in Posey County. Please support our candidates. We make up Posey County. God bless America.

Woodall thanks State Police, Sheriff Deputies for help with traffic control On behalf of the MSD of Mount Vernon and Marrs School, I would like to thank the Indiana State Police Troopers and Posey County Sheri Deputies who helped with traďŹƒc control at Marrs School during the highway repair project. Their assistance helped to mitigate a dangerous traďŹƒc situation with buses trying to

enter and travel the congested highway. I want to especially thank Chief Deputy Tom Latham, with the Posey County Sheri’s Department, for arranging this assistance.

What could go wrong?

Mothers of sons frequently assume, often rightly so, that attention to detail is not their son’s strong suit. Daughters of fathers often assume, frequently to their chagrin, that their father’s strong suit is attention to detail.

In situations calling for responsible action a mother of a son usually looks to her dad instead of her son. If given a choice between youthful exuberance and supposed tempered judgment a woman, say the mother of a bridegroom, will lean on experience, say the grandfather of that bridegroom, when important wedding tasks (safekeeping of the wedding rings, for example) must be performed.

This was the dilemma facing our daughter, Heather, last Saturday when she worried her son, Alec, might lose the wedding rings if they were entrusted to his care. As I was going to be performing the ceremony at Alec and Arielle’s outdoor wedding at JPeg Ranch, Heather believed she could rely on me to be the keeper

of the rings. It had already been decided that the tall grass and uneven land militated against using a child ring bearer. So, it came down to which semi-adult male of the wedding party should be entrusted with the rings. Heather chose me. Hey, I did not volunteer.

However, once the mantle was cast upon me I approached the task as most males would have. I promptly put the matter out of my mind and concentrated on the large albino catfish that Adrian, the brother of the bridegroom who was supposed to be getting formally dressed as a member of the wedding party, caught in our pond before the wedding. See you have already forgotten about the rings too.

Anyway, as I took my place on the antique, moveable bishop’s stand about 10 minutes before the start of the wedding and looked at the podium where I had casually placed both Alec’s and Arielle’s rings, the sense of happy serenity that had pervaded my psyche turned to panic. The rings had blown off into the tall grass.

Oh, I could have called for help but then Heather would know, and life is already too O M

short for me to face that. So, I did what any man would do. In my suit and black judge’s robe I got down on my hands and knees in front of the assembled congregation and proceeded to sift through the foliage. It was hopeless of course but what choice did I have?

Just as I had decided to fake the whole ring thing by using my own wedding band for Arielle to place on Alec’s finger and then covering both of Arielle’s and Alec’s hands with mine as he pretended to place nothing on

Arielle’s finger, the heavens opened up and a ray of blazing sun glinted upon bright shiny objects resting against the bottom edge of the wooden bishop’s stand.

Sabic Mount Vernon Cogeneration Project wins National Public Outreach award SABIC has received the Responsible Care Energy Efficiency Public Outreach Award from the American Chemistry Council (ACC) for its work communicating the Mount Vernon cogeneration project to members of the community.

It was the only ACC member company to receive this recognition at the recent 2018 Responsible Care Conference and Expo in Hollywood, Florida.

“We are honored to be recognized with this award because it represents SABIC’s dedication to the environment and communities where we work and live,” said Joe Castrale, general manager of SABIC’s Mount Vernon facility. “We had a lot to celebrate in April 2017 and couldn’t imagine doing it without our community members and hardworking employees.”

Castrale is referencing the official ribbon cutting and in-

formational event celebrating the completion of its Mount Vernon Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Cogeneration plant. Since the idling of its coal boilers and the start-up of the cogeneration plant, there has been a 33 percent reduction in greenhouse gas intensity and a 43 percent reduction in non-hazardous waste leaving the site – both versus SABIC’s 2010 baseline year.

Mount Vernon Mayor Bill Curtis said “I’m glad to see the company receive national recognition for being a good corporate neighbor and developing a good rapport with the community. While the community has known about the CHP project since its inception, I enjoyed the opportunity to see its completion and commend SABIC for taking efforts to incorporate sustainable solutions in its manufacturing operations.”

Nearly 60 community

leaders attended the April 17, 2017 event, including the mayors of both the City of Mount Vernon and the City of Evansville, Southwest Indiana Chamber of Commerce members, Posey County Council members, Posey County Alliance of the SWI Chamber, Posey County Economic Development Partners, and several small business owners. More than 150 SABIC employees also attended, and participated along with visitors on informational tours and education sessions to gain a deeper understanding of the project.

The Responsible Care Energy Efficiency Awards program is among ACC’s ongoing initiatives to improve energy efficiency. Member companies are required to consider operational energy efficiency as well as waste minimization, reuse and recycling when developing their

To win the Public Outreach Award, SABIC had to demonstrate “an effective program of involvement with the community regarding energy efficiency and

related environmental impact activities.”[1] “Our investment in the CHP cogeneration facility underpins SABIC’s corporate sustainability goals of achieving a 25% reduction in greenhouse

gas emissions by 2025,” said Castrale. “We are successfully and efficiently providing steam heat and electricity to our site and we are reducing emissions – it was, and still is, something to celebrate.”

PCED receives grant to develop Advanced Manufacturing Pathway Education Workforce Innovation Network (EWIN) has named Posey County Economic Development as a recipient of a $15,000 planning grant to support its work to better prepare students for future success and grow the talent pipeline for Posey County’s thriving industrial base. Posey County is one of three recipients for the Education-Workforce Planning Grants provided by EWIN, which will deliver technical assistance through 2018. The grant includes support for collaboration within these communities, research of promising educationworkforce models, site visits to explore innovative approaches, and development of plans customized to each partnership’s needs and resources.

“We recognize that 60 percent of jobs between 2018-2025 will require a postsecondary credential. We have begun establishing the foundation for education-workforce alignment and are primed and ready to embark on this journey of creating an innovative design model that will be sustainable long into the future,” said Brittaney Johnson, Executive Director, Posey County Economic Development.

Posey County has become a center for advanced manufacturing with an abundance of positions available in high tech, high skill and high wage jobs that require specialized training and expertise –with a significant percentage going unfilled.

This county partnership is collaborating with business, K-12 education and postsecondary institutions to attract high level employees, retain workforce, improve skills of existing employees as well as prepare students to enter these fields. The grant will allow them to study the Polytechnic Early College and Postsecondary Career and Technical Education (CTE) Models. One goal is to offer technical certificates and associate degree programs that can be completed at the high school level.

Posey County Economic Development partners for the grant include, Ivy Tech Community College Evansville campus; Warehouse Services, Inc.; Nix Companies; Southwest Indiana Chamber of Commerce - Posey County Alliance; WorkOne Southwest; Metropolitan School District of North Posey; Met-

June 1 deadline set for dairy farmers The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reminds dairy farmers of the June 1 deadline to enroll in the improved Margin Protection Program for Dairy (MPP-Dairy).

Many producers will see payments in early June, depending on the coverage they elect.

The program protects dairy producers by paying them based on the difference between the national all-milk price and the national average feed cost. The 2018 Bipartisan Budget Act made several changes to the safety net program to provide better protections for dairy producers from shifting milk and feed prices.

“MPP-Dairy is an important, improved safety net tool for the dairy industry,” said Bill Northey, Under Secretary for Farm Production and Conservation. “We encourage all dairy producers to carefully weigh their options and make their way to one of our 2,100 FSA county offices nationwide to discuss signing up for the program before the June 1 deadline.”

From an incredible pool of talented artist, six artists from St. Louis were selected whose work creates an aesthetic and conceptual dialogue within the space. This exhibition is part of an outreach series meant to drive connectivity within the region by highlighting nearby cultural scenes.

Artists represented in the exhibition include: Ryan Bredlau, Kristin Cassidy, John Freise, Carlynn Forst, Carlie Trosclair, and Marina Peng. The exhibition is free and open to the public.

‘County fair’ continued from Page A1 race for a money prize, the entry fee is $35. “There are not too many who do that though,” Stallings noted.

“There were only about four last year.”

Bike classes do not depend on age, but on the size of the bike. The Motocross race is scheduled for 9 a.m. Participants in the “quad” race can then register after that for the 1:30 p.m. race. A race is a quarter mile five laps around the track.

Safety is a major concern and participants must have boots, helmets, and eye goggles. AMA certified flaggers are on the track to ensure safety in all ways and behaviors.

Stallings, a 1990 graduate of Mount Vernon High School, has been the race announcer for the past five years.

“I love this sport. I used to do

both types of racing, on bikes and four wheelers and still ride them a lot. I like seeing the kids grow in it,” he said.

Stallings’ says his own kids are not too much into riding, but “to each his own.”

Austin is 22 and Victoria, 17.

“If there’s anything I get out of it, it is watching the little ones race. Their skills sets are amazing! Some are so good and so agile. They just fly through the air,” he remarked with enthusiasm.

“We welcome everybody to come out. We are looking forward to a good race year.

Be patient with us as we redo the program, but we’re getting it done in leaps and bounds,” Stallings said with a big smile.

Vintage home, garden tour coming up

By Pam Robinson The 2018 Vintage Home and Garden Tour reminds us the seasoned and the traditional are worth preserving. On Saturday afternoon, June 2, four families will open their nineteenth and early twentiethcentury homes to reveal how they’ve kept pace with modern twenty-first century renovations while respecting the artistry and creativity of the original.

The Mount Vernon homes and gardens featured on the tour include the BluntGlueckert Home at 623 Mulberry, the Branam Home at 723 Mulberry, the Collier-Smith Home at 319 East Third Street and the Nelson Home at 310 East Third Street. St. Matthew Catholic Church may also be toured at 426 Walnut.

The tour starts at noon this Saturday and ends at 5 p.m., except at St. Matthew.

St. Matthew will close its tour at 4:30 p.m. in anticipation of their Mass.

The Blunt-Glueckert Home amazes with its originals: hardwood floors, pocket doors - including a double pocket door - and stained-glass windows. A friendly ghost named Franklin is believed to live with the family. Perhaps a lucky visitor will catch a glimpse.

The Branam Home features original pocket doors and original hardwood floors as well as spacious closets - and more - in keeping with the tastes of the successful Judge Herdis Clements and his family. The home will win visitors over with its history alone.

At the Collier-Smith Home, visitors see the results of a 24-year family project.

The exterior and all three floors have been renovated during that time. Their most recent renovations include the kitchen and the second-floor bath. Renovations have used architectural salvage pieces to maintain the integrity of the home.

Twelve photo albums of before and after pictures detail years of such major projects at the Nelson Home as moving the foundation on the house, putting siding all over the house and building a PVC façade. Favorite features of the home include the parquet dining room floor and the outdoor brick pizza oven.

Tickets may be purchased in advance from any member of the Women’s Fund Board of the Posey County Community Foundation or at the following locations countywide: in New Harmony, the Mews, Sara’s Harmony Way and the Golden Rose; in Poseyville, J. L. Hirsch and Guilty Pleasures; in Wadesville, Barton’s Automotive; in Mount Vernon, Green Duck Hair Salon, Hasting Plant Sales, McKim’s IGA, Mount Vernon Flower Shop, Bliss and Consigned to Design.

Advanced sale tickets are $15 each and $20 each the day of the tour.

‘Phone upgrades’ continued from Page A1 The amount includes $60,919 for 150 phones to be installed in all county buildings and $5,800 for indoor work at the jail site. About fifty of those phones will be at the county jail. The other hundred phones will be located at the Posey County Courthouse, the Hovey House, the Coliseum, the Coroner’s Building and the Highway Department Building.

Posey County Commission President Jim Alsop explained that the phones had to be moved into the new jail as part of the project at a cost of about $25,000. “We realized that the system needed a major software upgrade next year, as it is outdated, by state requirements, so we reached out to vendors for a competitive bid to just do it all at once right now,” he said.

A bid was also received from Midwest Telecom, the present phone system, for $97,013.00. “We asked our project engineer to review both proposals, as there was almost $30,000 difference in rounded dollars. This is a significant savings. He compared apples to apples, and made sure the services and recording systems provided were what Sheriff Oeth wants. We made sure all the right questions were asked, like fiber

optic line size,” President Alsop assured the other commissioners.

Alsop said he called Owensboro, the reference city where AOS installed a similar 3CX system in 2013-2104.

“The person I spoke with had no issues with the system and they were very happy with the annual upgrades,” he reported.

AOS Engineer Matthew Walker attended the meeting and assured the commissioners that technicians would always be on hand to handle minor problems and he could always be there for any major difficulty.

All warranties will be in effect on the equipment in the contract. First year support is included in the initial contract.

The second year support fee is $2,033, according to Justin Faith, Service and Account Manager, who was also in attendance.

As for a timeline, Walker said work would start immediately and he promised it will be completed by the end of June. He was encouraged to have it completed for the Ribbon Cutting in the middle of June, but that may be “pushing it.”

Walker said phone numbers should stay the same. This service is a different system from the county 911 system. Two

backup servers will be available if something happens to 911 and it can roll over to this new system.

A separate phone line project will be done re-establishing fiber optic lines in conduits from the jail to the county highway garage. There is no service anymore there now as the lines were cut fiber twice by the contractor. This will be a separate bill charged to the contractor.

When asked his opinion on the move to using AOS systems, since he was in on the review of the bids, Deputy Sheriff Tom Latham said, “I think it’s a no-brainer.”

In other business from the regularly scheduled Commissioners meething: • Mindy Bourne, Area Plan Director, informed the Commissioners a second set of

surveys have been sent out.

Bourne stated on the first mailing, the Coalition randomly selected addresses for the surveys; and they have not been satisfied with the number of surveys returned. Bourne stated the second mailing went out May 7, and a second notice will be sent on June 7, 2018. Depending on the number of surveys returned, a list will likely be prepared on July 7 for door to door canvassing.

• Highway Superintendent Steve Schenk stated Bridge 74 on High School Road, will be replaced this summer.

He stated that bids will be sought through advertisement in newspapers this week. Bids being due June 4 no later than 4 p.m. at Posey County Auditor Sarah Meighen’s Office or by June 5 at 9 a.m. at the Hovey House.

Memorial Day marks forthcoming changes

When Memorial Day B arrives, Madeleine, it C P

is kind of the signal for summer to begin. It means many dierent things to folks, from the students graduating from various levels of education, to the families who faithfully visit the local cemeteries to honor their dead. It can be the time to clean o the porch furniture and ďŹ re up the grill, anticipating a long summer of outdoor cooking and entertaining.

The thought I always try to ignore is the fact that it is the beginning of a quickly disappearing season. In little more than a month, school supplies will replace Fourth of July items on the store shelves. When I was younger, this did not bother me so much, but as I get older, all of my seasons seem precious.

My family does not understand why it is so urgent to fully celebrate every holiday to the fullest. When one is still young, many years hopefully stretch ahead, with lots of Fourth of July celebrations, and Labor Day picnics. From where I stand, none of those days are guaranteed anymore.

Our family recently lost a beloved family member, Joann Dezember. She was my daughter-in-law, Sheri’s, mother. Although she had been suering from various conditions for some time, I tried not to think that it was her last Christmas or Easter.

Joann loved to cook and enjoyed food. Even in her last few months, she wanted to spend time in her kitchen. A year or so ago, she was devastated when she broke her large pink Pyrex mixing bowl. Whenever I have been out at garage sales or ea markets, I tried to ďŹ nd a replacement for her I will probably still automatically look for it, even now.

Although none of us know when we will come to an end of our life, the only thing we can do is live every day as fully as possible I sometimes probably seem annoying when I nag my family members to make holidays as joyous and traditional as possible. These get-togethers were never in question when I was growing up.

Madeleine graduates from sixth-grade.

Our simple picnics and cookouts were nothing grand, but we did all that we could. On Memorial Day, my Uncle Jimmie and Aunt Marge came down from Indianapolis and we ďŹ xed a big meal. It was eaten under the sycamores in the front yard, or on the shady front porch. Uncle Jimmie parked his big green

Mercury nearby, with the radio tuned to the Indianapolis 500.

As soon as I was old enough, I made a cake, and we usually made homemade ice cream. It was the season for strawberries and we served them in the big blue antique crock. I still own this.

We had already visited three cemeteries, taking fresh peonies and roses. This was also the time when Spring was in the lush green stage, and the songbirds were building nests and feeding babies. School was just dismissed for the summer, and the long lazy summer was coming up. This was a time of sheer peace and joy for me.

Many of these things are still around, but it all seems different. Maybe most folks look back at their youth with similar bittersweet memories. I took it all for granted. Not having a big family is always part of the feeling of sadness for me. My children and grandchildren are now my only relatives. The absence of a big family unit to come over and cook together and laugh and have a joyous day brings me a bad vibe on holidays.

I have mentioned before that I wanted to be “adopted� by some other family and have a lot of “brothers and sisters,� who were willing to include me in their holidays. However, nobody has come forward and invited me When I took the grand kids to South Terrace for the last day of school, I almost cried. When Madeleine got out of the car, I knew it was the last time I would take her there. It was also the last time to walk Issabella in to her PreK room. I much enjoyed their “graduations� this week, but the sense of things ending is always sad to me.

I so hope that I am still around for the North Posey Graduation Classes of 2024, 2026, and 2031. There is so much ahead, big life changes, births, deaths, weddings, and lots more. For a few years, things have kind of oated along, with minimum changes, but like this summer, I am pretty sure I should prepare myself to watch life spin by at a fast clip. So, yes, Madeleine, I am hanging on.

Eternal all-star keeps following God’s game plan

By Pam Robinson Ninety-year-old Mount Vernon native Charles A. “Charlie� Hames recalls his father and mother Charles W. and Marcella Hames worked hard to show no favoritism to their son at Mount Vernon High School, or MVHS. It would seem Charles W. Hames was, in Charlie’s eyes, a legend.

Recently retired secretary for the MSD of Mount Vernon superintendent, Mary Buchanan, shared records regarding Charles W. Hames and his son, Charlie, from the school district’s historical library, Wildcats Remembered, a labor of love for the late Nancy Rapp. From these records, we find Charles W. Hames taught chemistry at least one year before he became principal of MVHS, a position he held from academic year 1939-40 to 1964-65. Well before then, Charlie has been told, his father started teaching at the tender age of 15 and rode a bicycle to make his rounds at the small schools in Point Township.

Needless to say, the son of a legend didn’t want to let his father down. A history of the Class of ’45 (written by classmate, Leona Gerton), in the 1945 Hoop Pole reveals Charlie became a legend in his own right.

In the 1941-42 academic year, he received the freshman athletic medal and lettered in both baseball and basketball. The following academic year, 1942-43, he won major athletic awards, including another letter in basketball, where MVHS ruled the PAC.

The Golden Years

The 1943-44 junior year saw Mount Vernon earn distinction with its PAC championship football team, and Charlie received a secondyear football certificate. At Honors Day that spring, he was elected to the National Athletic Honor Society and received a certificate of basketball letters.

In addition, he was awarded a two-year band letter. Charlie had been voted Class President,

and he received a certificate as an outstanding class officer.

When he arrived at his senior year, 1944-45, Charlie was elected Class President again, and he was named Best Dressed Boy 1945. Another new honor appears for him: election to National Thespians. His senior yearbook summary reveals a few more surprises about Charlie, aka “Ching� and “Eight Ball� because he wore jersey number 8 in basketball. He belonged to the Camera Club throughout high school. Not surprisingly, he received the M-Men’s Club Athletic Award all four years of high school as well.

In the 1946 Hoop Pole, as Mary Buchanan discovered, he is listed as running track in his senior year, too. Apparently, the news didn’t make deadline the previous year to be included in the Class of ’45 yearbook. “I lived for sports,� Charlie states. He did— and plenty more activities. School records paint a picture of an All-American boy next door.

To this day, he lives for sports. He is a diehard St. Louis Cardinals fan. He recalls fondly also attending University of Evansville, or UE, home basketball games as an adult, and he says

he still roots for UE in basketball.

After high school, he attended Purdue University for a year before he applied at Farm Bureau Refinery. He retired from there after 17 years.

About the same time, Charlie remembers, the sporting goods store in Mount Vernon came up for sale, so he purchased it to pursue his lifelong interest in sales. What better match for a sports enthusiast? Some time later, he opened a sporting goods store in Evansville also, and he owned Koressel Paint Store on Franklin Street.

During this time, his family adds, he was actively involved in the West Side Nut Club.

Other interests have included playing in a Clabber league and shotgun target shooting.

Charlies seems, however, most proud of his four children: Steven, Ben, Greg, and the late Sandra Ann Brown. When he names them, he comments, “It’s been a great life.�

A member of Salem United Methodist Church, Charlie admits, like all of us, he has some regrets. Nonetheless, he has always known where to turn for help. “My well-being has been in God’s hands,� he says through tears. “I have always believed in God and what he stood for.�

With this game plan in mind, Charles A. Hames is on point to be an eternal all-star.

Two MV teens accepted into Raiders Drum and Bugle Corps

By Lois Mittino Gray When it comes to making a dream come true, the third time can be a charm. Matthew Zoch yearned to be a member of a traveling precision marching band since he was a young boy. He has auditioned three times for the honor and this year, he was accepted on his third bid into the Raiders Drum and Bugle Corps. To make it even better, his friend Rush Slocum was selected on his second bid into the elite group and will accompany him on the threemonth summer tour. The two Mount Vernon natives will leave at the end of May and return about August 11.

“We start our travel in New York and New Jersey and the New England states. First, we need to rehearse and learn the show.

We have a parade to do in New York City on June 3.

We’ll play on college and high school fields and go cross-country as far west as Illinois, ending at the World Finals at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis,” Slocum said.

The boys pay $2,000 tuition for a chance to participate in the opportunity. The fee includes uniforms, lessons, and room and board.

That may entail sleeping in high school gyms along the way for the hundred member coed group. Zoch said most of the members are from New England, while some are from Texas, the Midwest, and two are from Canada.

To earn their trip money, Slocum used a Go Fund Me page and worked at the Mount Vernon McDonalds.

Briefly MVCC Cruise-In Car Show Mount Vernon Community Church - Black’s Chapel UMC will be hosting their forth annual Cruise-In Car Show on Saturday, June 9. Registration will be from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. Trophies will be presented at 1 p.m. There will be dash plaques, quilt show, door prizes, bake sale, Chinese auction, and food available. MVCC is located in the former Keck Ford Dealership, 1800 West Fourth Street. All vehicles welcome. For more information, contact John Motz at 812204-2599 or Gary Mayes at 812-457-5076.

Zoch, who has dreamed of this since early days watching the Drums on the Ohio contests, saved up through the years working odd jobs.

The pair has already made two trips to New Jersey to attend rehearsals. “There won’t be much free time in our structured schedule.

We’ll have maybe four free days in three months.

We’ll mainly be practicing, eating and getting ready to perform,” Zoch noted. Matt tends to be more adventurous in his eating and is anxious to try new things crosscountry.

Slocum said he is most excited about traveling and seeing the country. “We won’t have much time for anything else,” he observed.

Zoch will play tympani in the show entitled, “Beowulf: The Rise of a Legend.” Slocum will play cymbals. The duo is pleased that there is a massive teaching staff with personal coaches for their instruments, marching and visuals.

Matthew Zoch, 19, is a 2017 graduate of Mount Vernon High School. He will be a sophomore in the fall at Murray State University, majoring in music education. He is the son of Laurie Hartman and is a member of the Racer Band

Rush Slocum, 17, is a recent 2018 MVHS graduate who will start at University of Southern Indiana this fall upon his return, majoring in General Education. He is the son of Bobbi and Roger Slocum. Rush has joined the USI Choir.

The two Mount Vernon High School friends have talked about doing this since 2016. “I attended a

marching band show with Matt and Band Director Joe Stone in 2016 in Indianapolis. It really excited me to see the precision and action.

I was so excited we talked about it the entire time all the way home,” Slocum reminisced.

Mostly the boys just want to get good at their performance and improve their skills. “Last year, the Raiders got thirty-seventh in the

world. We are hoping to do even better this year,” Matt said.

The boys can be followed this summer on the official Instagram and Facebook accounts of the Raiders Bugle and Drum Corps. They personally are not allowed to post pictures of the contests, housing sites, the bus, or the performances. “No tweets even. It’s in our contract,” Rush said.

Grillin’ & Chillin’ Saturday, June 2, Saint Wendel Men’s Club will be holding their eleventh annual grillin’ and chillin’ event. There will be great food, amazing prizes and some awards. The event will be held at the Saint Wendel Church grounds. The cruise in is from 3 - 7 p.m. and the 5k is 6 - 8 a.m. For more information contact Chris Herr 812-455-0844.

Al-Anon Meetings Families that are affected by alcoholism are invited to attend meetings every Wednesday evening at 6:30 p.m. in the lower level of the Saint Wendel Parrish Center located at 10542 West Boonville-New Harmony Road, Evansville.

Call for directions 812-963-3668. There is no pre-registration and no cost. Everyone is welcome.

Farm program sign-up underway Greg Knowles, Posey County Executive Director, would like to remind producers that the 2018 ARC/PLC farm program signup is currently underway and runs through August 1.

C Right to Life celebrates, honors their volunteers

PAGE A7

MAY 29, 2018

To show appreciation of the time and talent they have contributed to the mission of Posey Country Right to Life (PCRTL), volunteers were recently treated to an enjoyable evening. In various ways, from praying on the sidewalk during 40 Days for Life, making and serving Krautballs for the Kunstfest, staffing the Baby Photo Contest Booth at the Westside Nut Club Fall Festival, this group of volunteers has contributed hours of time, talent and prayers.

The evening began with a brief introduction by the President of PCRTL, Janice Martin, of the current Board Members and an outline of the evening’s events which focused on the importance of Pro-Life work in Posey County and sharing what they envision for the future.

The volunteers were reminded by Anne Martin that with their many years of help, PCRTL has been able to donate fetal models to many schools in Posey County, including the biology department at USI, provide free Prolife literature for the public, place Pro-life billboards on Hwy 62 and I-64 and fund a Pro-life Flag display. Several organizations that benefited include: Birthright of Evansville, Life Choices, Precious Poseys, diapers for the Black Township Trustee office, Purdue Students for Life, National March for Life, Indiana Right to Life and Holy Family Center for Life. Several businesses that provide services each year for the Baby Photo Contest were highlighted: Massage Solutions, Ria’s Photography, Garrett Printing, Life Choices and Priority One Fire and Security.

The highlight of the evening was presenting the 2018 Martha Jean Breeze Memorial Award. The purpose of this annual award is to acknowledge and mentor future Pro-life Leaders in Posey County and was developed in memory of life-long Posey County resident Martha Jean Breeze. Martha is remembered not only for her contagious smile, hugs and “can do” attitude, but also as a staunch supporter of life. Martha was always willing to stand-up for and share her pro-life beliefs.

The winner of the this year’s $500 award, Brooke Berry, was chosen for her pro-life involvement, letters of recommendation and an essay describing why the pro-life movement is important to her and our country.

As we considered the candidates for this year’s award, we were happy to see this year’s recipient has participated in many of the same pro-life activities as Martha and has a willingness to share her time with youth.

Brooke’s letters of recommendation mention her weekly assistance at the Junior Legion of Mary as well as the Mission Evansville Ministry. She volunteered at our Baby Photo Contest Booth at the Fall Festival and after attending the March of Life this past January, led a discussion about the trip with her High School Youth Group.

One of the letters also states: “I have never met a young lady more on fire for her faith, convicted about protecting life and being a leader to other youth.” Miss Berry will be attending Marian University this fall, majoring in Nursing. Martha’s husband Paul was in attendance to present the award and hear Brooke read her essay.

The dinner attendees viewed, I Lived on Parker Ave, a documentary about a mother’s agony in choosing what’s best, the joy of a couple starting a family, and a young man’s search for where his life began.

As key-note speaker, Deacon Tom Kirsch, who is also a PCRTL volunteer, shared his insight and memories of the Pro-life movement in Posey County. His insights, experiences, and courage regarding pro-life issues were both insightful and touching.

Lastly, PCRTL student volunteers, Wesley Hoehn,

Alena Martin and Brianna Rogge were acknowledged for their willingness to help at the Kunstfest and Baby Photo Contest fund raisers.

The evening closed with the entire group joining in a Pro-life prayer.

Please help spread the word about Posey County Right to Life to your friends, family and co-workers. Our hope is that you will promote not only our mission but take the opportunity to share your own beliefs in respecting all human life from conception to natural death.

We are looking for new members. Contact us to learn how to be a part of the Pro-Life movement in Posey County. We have numerous volunteer opportunities for youth and adults. Current or past Posey County residents, age 17-25, may apply for the Martha Jean Breeze Memorial Award. You can also support us by visiting our food booth at the Kunstfest in September and entering your favorite baby in our Baby Photo Contest Booth at the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival in October.

You may contact PCRTL at: poseycountyrighttolife@ gmail.com, facebook.com/poseycountyrighttolife or call 812-781-9293.

Seeds of the Sower by Michael Guido Sunday church bulletins quite often reveal more than the words printed on them. Other than the date on the front of the bulletin the order of service changes very little. There seems to be three important words that appear in every order of service: Invocation, Offering and Benediction. And in between those words the hymns, Scripture and special music will be “recycled” from week to week. But there is little new or different. Even contemporary worship services seem to follow the same format and formu-

la week after week.

Sounds boring, doesn’t it?

Perhaps that’s why Psalm 96:1 explodes with a challenge: “Sing to the Lord a New Song!” - which literally means “New Things!” If God is alive and well in our lives and in our churches we will surely be seeing new things and singing new songs because we will see Him at work in our lives and in the life of our churches.

Prayers will be answered and lives changed, sinners will be saved and His disciples will be called to serve

Him in new and different ways showing His love and care to those around us. We will have to rearrange the order of service to make time for public praise to share what He is doing and sing new songs because He is doing new things.

And then in verse two we read, “Proclaim His salvation day after day.”

When the proclamation of His salvation is the centerpiece of our work and worship, we will be overcome with His joy and “sing new songs.”

Sermon of the Week: What defiles them

By Brother Tom Doty Matthew 15:11-12 (NIV) 11 What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.” 12 Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”

Living in a society that is offended by everything that is said or done is not a new thing. Jesus lived with people who were offended by what He said and by what He did. If Jesus healed someone it was the wrong day or the wrong person. If Jesus spoke a word then some religious leader or group was offended.

People who do not understand the things of God are always offended. People who are unwilling to accept the Truth of God and the wisdom of God will be offended by the things of God. Society has not changed. In Jesus’ day it was more important to be religious than to be Godly.

In today’s society it is more important to be politically correct than to be Godly. In every generation people want to move away from the Truth

of God into a false sense of correctness and acceptance.

Just because a group of people want to be accepted for doing wrong does not change the fact that in God’s eyes the action is wrong. I’m sure Satan was offended when God cast him from heaven. When people are caught in wrong actions they are offended when corrected. We live in an offended society.

God did not send Truth in order to offend us. God sent Truth that we might know what was right and wrong. Jesus did not come to condemn people. Our sins have condemned us from the beginning of time. Jesus came to enlighten us to that which is Godly and right.

Jesus did not come to make us religious but he came to lead us to a right relationship with God. People are offended by that which is right.

Our enlightened society has missed the True Light and we have followed the false light of acceptance without responsibility. Our society does not want to accept responsibility of their actions because something or someone has triggered their actions. Satan

has always planted doubt in the minds of people and that doubt leads us away from personal responsibility. I am not responsibility for my actions because that’s the way I’m made is a lie from the depths of Hell. God made us in His image. Sin has taken us from that which God made correct. And, we are offended when we are corrected. We must remember that God corrects and offends those whom He loves.

Why should we be surprised that many in our society are offended? Cain was offended when asked where his brother was. Thousands were offended when Noah built the Ark. The Children of Israel were offended when

Moses came to lead them out of bondage. The problem today is that we as Christians have not been offended by the actions of our sinful society.

We sit quietly and allow godless people speak against our God. We have allowed godless judges to take the Word of God from our schools.

We have allowed godless judges and elected political leaders to move us from God and we continue to re-elect them. God has called us to be offended by this godless society. God has called us to elect men and women who are offended by sin. God has called pastors to preach the Truth of God’s Word. God has called parents to protect their children from the influence

of evil video games. If we as Christians are not offended by the evil in this world we will be overcome by the evil.

We must become offended to the point that we are willing to put on the whole armour of God and stand against the fiery darts of Satan. Jesus did not back down when the religious leaders were offended.

Jesus did not back down when a godless society was offended. When will we as Christians stop backing down to those who are offended by the Truth of God’s Word?

I have prayed for you this morning. I have prayed that we are offended by sin and that we begin to stand for the Truth that God has given us.

‘Tooley’ continued from Page A1 biology classroom many times and went to all of the ball games. I was even there to celebrate with the 1965-66 sectional champion basketball team! Between us, dad and I have served in 50 of the 58 years this school has been in existence.”

With her late father as hero and role model, Tooley began her career with the MSD of North Posey in August 1988 as the at-risk counselor at North Elementary. She served there four years until August 1992. She accepted next the position of guidance secretary at North Posey High School. Her title changed to registrar while she was there. Upon completing her master’s degree in guidance and counseling in May 2003, she moved to the NPHS guidance counselor position in August that year. In August 2006, she became NPJHS guidance counselor to fill an opening left by a retirement.

Now, as history repeats itself, Amanda Reynolds will move from NPHS as guidance counselor to fill that opening at NPJHS with Tooley’s retirement. “She [Amanda Reynolds] and I were counselors together. She has been a counselor for 18 years at North Posey High, and I am confident she will do a great job. She’ll be familiar with the students and families, and that makes me feel better,” Tooley states about her successor.

For no matter how well Tooley knows it’s the right time to retire, she feels sad about leaving MSD of North Posey. She wants to spend time with her three children and grandchildren, in particular twin granddaughters arriving this fall, yet she will miss helping students.

Her daughter, Lindsay (Mark) Schmitt, an Evansville attorney and already a mother of a son and a daughter, is expecting the twins. “I thought, ‘I’m going to help her,’” Tooley says.

“She’s going from two kids to four kids quickly, so I’m going to be babysitting in the future. I want to spend time with those kids. I wanted to do it while I could.”

She wants to have the time to visit her son, Kyle, an orthopedic physician’s assistant, moving soon from Rochester, Minnesota, to New York City. His wife, Andrea, will finish her fellowship there and start her practice afterwards as a doctor at the Mayo Clinic. Likewise, her

daughter, Whitney (Kole) Thornton, a pharmacist at Deaconess, will receive more visits from mom.

An art major in college and an avid writer, Tooley hopes to write and illustrate children’s books and to complete other writing projects.

“Hopefully,” she says, “I can get back into some things that are more creative and artistic.”

In practically the same breath, however, she comments, “It was a difficult decision for me to retire. I mean really hard. So many people say, ‘I can’t wait to retire,’ and I get that. But it has been hard for me.”

In addition to her “routine” counseling, Tooley started eight years ago the Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring program between NPHS and NPJHS students. She’s taught Strengthening Families and Neighbor to Neighbor. She’s been on the board of Family Matters and on the Junior Achievement Education Committee.

Helping young people and their families has been her passion.

NPJHS Principal Steve Kavanaugh and Sec-

retary Kim Wassmer have shared the office area with Tooley. They know her better perhaps than any of her colleagues, and they agree she possesses genuine, boundless care and compassion for youth.

“What an asset Susie Tooley has been for the last 30 years at MSD of North Posey! From my experience working in Vanderburgh and Posey counties, she has been the most caring, compassionate and devoted counselor I have ever worked with,” Kavanaugh states. “She has helped provide food, clothing, bedding and housing for many of our families in need. Her dedication did not stop at 3 p.m. when students dismissed from school. She spent many hours after school helping students with homework.

She has touched many students and staff over her 30 years and we are all better for it. We want her to enjoy a well-deserved retirement, but we will all miss her!”

When preparing for Tooley’s retirement party, Kim Wassmer admits she cried to think how much she would miss her friend even

though she could think of no one more deserving of a happy retirement than Tooley, who has spent a lifetime serving others. “Susie is one of the most kind, compassionate and encouraging people I have ever met. Her priority is the students and how she can help them, both emotionally and academically. She always looks for the best in people,” Wassmer states. “One of her favorite quotes she says many times is ‘Live in such a way that if someone said something bad about you, no one would believe it.’

MSD of North Posey has been blessed by her service, and she will be missed.”

Tooley’s faith has guided her heart. She believes in the need for God’s grace and the practice of the Golden Rule. “As a Christian, our call is to serve and extend grace to others.

Anything good I have accomplished has been through the grace of God, and the times where I have failed have been from trying to ‘take things into my own hands,’ so to speak,” she states. “In serving our children and community, I tried to see each child as my own and think how I would want my child to be treated in every situation. I wasn’t always successful, but that was my goal. I also tried to put myself in the shoes of the parents and families and tried to follow the Golden Rule to treat others in a way that I wanted to be treated. Those are very simple rules to follow, but can still, at times, be very difficult to adhere to.”

Gratitude closes Tooley’s retirement letter.

Her job hasn’t been about building a career.

It has been about building relationships and a community where everyone wins. It has been a journey of love.

“I have truly enjoyed every single position in which I have been employed within this corporation and have thanked God daily for allowing me to be a servant to help children.

Being able to make a difference in young lives is incredible, and I have enjoyed every step of this journey! Thank you for your appreciation and support. I have a true passion for the North Posey School District and its students and I, like my dad, will ‘Always be a Viking!’,” she writes.

Her father would be so proud. The Vikings will always be better for Susie Tooley.

This will allow the new coach sufficient time, instead of at the beginning of June.

In an open letter posted on the Mount Vernon High School Facebook Page, Aldridge wrote that “I am extremely excited and honored to be named the new head boys basketball coach here at Mount Vernon High School.

After doing extensive research and talking with coaching friends from the area, I decided that Mount Vernon would be a fantastic place to coach, work, and live. The potential for growth and the opportunity to build onto a great foundation really caught my eye.”

School Superintendent Dr. Tom Kopatich answered questions from resident Bill Newman about Aldridge’s record. Kopatich said, “He has a passion to win. I can assure you that we interviewed several people and he was, by far, the best.”

“My goal for this season is to improve each and every single day and to ensure that my players are having the best experience that I can provide,” Aldridge continued in his letter.

Vikings advance to sectional final TAKE A LOOK, WE’RE JUST MINUTES AWAY!

By Chris Morlan North Posey’s baseball team has traveled two nights in a row to Tell City for the sectional of the IHSAA Class 2A baseball tournament. Last Wednesday, the Vikings played Forest Park in the opening round of the sectional and beat the Rangers 11-3. North Posey played again last Thursday against Evansville Mater Dei in the semifinal game of the sectional and beat the Wildcats 8-2 to advance to the sectional championship game against South Spencer.

During the Forest Park game, North Posey went 10 for 31 at the plate, with eleven runs batted-in, eleven runs scored, seven walks and only four strikeouts. The Vikings had no extra base hits in this game. North Posey jumped out quickly on the Rangers scoring two runs in the first inning and four runs in the second inning to take an early 6-0 lead. Forest Park scored a run each in the third and fourth innings to narrow the Viking lead to 6-2. North Posey went on another scoring spree to bring in five more runs in the fifth inning to extend their lead to 11-2.

The Rangers scored one more run in the sixth inning and no runs in the seventh which ended the Rangers season.

Wildcat girls fall in sectional opener

By Dave Pearce The Mount Vernon High School girls’ softball team fell in the opener of the Boonville sectional but the Lady Wildcats have nothing for which to hang their heads. They finished with a school history-best 18-5 overall record and the school’s first-ever Big Eight Conference title. The Lady Wildcats left no doubt about the conference title, running the table against the likes of Boonville and Jasper.

However, the tournament bug bit the Wildcats again as the team could not sustain the momentum generated when junior Brooklyn Gibbs led off the game with a home run.

But Heritage Hills was not to be denied in their effort to hand the Wildcats two of their five losses this season. They answered quickly and powerfully as they hung a tworun first inning and a three-run second inning on the Wildcats. The Wildcats did not help themselves as they committed four errors during the contest. The five runs should have been plenty to win the contest had the Wildcats not committed the errors. The final result was an 8-5 loss to the Patriots.

The Wildcats did not go down without a fight, despite the errors. They added single runs in the third and fifth innings and added

Lady Vikings season ends at sectional

By Chris Morlan The North Posey Lady Vikings softball team played at the Forest Park sectional against the Forest Park Lady Rangers last Tuesday night. North Posey stayed in the game early and was tied at 2-2 until Forest Park batted in the fourth inning to score four runs. Forest Park rallied and put the game away for good in the fourth inning to beat the Lady Vikings 8-3.

It was a pitcher’s duel in the first two innings, as the Rangers and Vikings found themselves swinging at nothing or striking out whenever they stepped to the plate. The Forest Park pitcher retired the first three batters she faced, and then Lady Vikings sophomore Megan Brenton, returned the favor in the bottom of the first, to strikeout her first three batters.

The Viking response was swift and they quickly got back in the game. Evelyn Mauer’s home run also brought in Megan Brenton to tie the game at two-all in the fourth inning. Megan Brenton had taken a wild pitch to the helmet to gain her base shorty before Mau-

The Vikings tried to make things interesting in the seventh inning. They were down 8-2.

Two of the first three batters went down quick, but junior pinch hit-

ter Korryn Englert was able to draw a walk.

Sophomore infielders Emily Abernathy and Rylie Farr each hit singles to load the bases. Freshman catcher Kennedy Hallam hit

a third straight single to score Englert, but Megan Brenton struck out to pull the curtain on North Posey’s season.

Megan Brenton finished with 11 strikeouts, 10 hits, eight runs

allowed and one walk. Evelyn Mauer finished one-for-two, with a homerun and two runs batted-in.

Hallam was one-for-four with and a run batted-in. Jenna Heath and Rylie Farr each had a pair of hits.

NP’s Stewart, MV’s West going to state

By Chris Morlan The IHSAA boys’ track and field regional was held last Thursday night at Evansville Central High School. North Posey and Mount Vernon will represent Posey County at this weeks’ state finals in Bloomington. The top three finishers in each event qualify for the state finals.

Sophomore Kyle Stewart from North Posey won the long jump and Mount Vernon’s Jonathan West finished third in the 800-meter run. They will both compete at this weeks’ state finals.

Evansville Memorial dominated the regional in team scores with 75 points, followed by Evansville Central in second place with 46 points, Princeton and Jasper tied for third place with 44 points, Floyd Central placed fifth with 41 points, Castle finished sixth with 32 points, Evansville Mater Dei was seventh with 31 points, Evansville Harrison finished eighth with 29 points, Heritage Hills placed ninth with 28 points, Gibson Southern finished tenth with 21 points, North Posey placed twenty-first with ten points and Mount Vernon finished twenty-fifth with six points as a team.

Kyle Stewart won the long jump with a leap of 22-feet and six inches. Stewart made that distance on his first jump in the meet.

Mount Vernon’s Johnathan West finished third in a tough group of runners in the 800-meter run with a time of 1:58.00 to qualify him for state.

After the meet, North Posey Coach Sean Fisher stated, “Kyle started strong, which is something he’s been able to do often this year. His first jump in flight one was 22-feet and six-inches. That jump exceeded the state standard of 22feet and three inches to automatically qualify him for state.

The 22-feet and six-inches was also enough to win the meet and earn him the regional championship as a sophomore, which is a fantastic accomplishment.”

Viking senior Alex Stewart competed in the Central regional in the long jump and had a good distance of 19-feet and 11 and one-fourth inches. Stewart ended his career at North Posey, but he is moving on to a bright future playing football in the fall at Birmingham Prep.

On Saturday, June 2, the IHSAA Boys Track State Finals will take place at the Robert C. Haugh Track and Field Complex, Indiana University, Bloomington. The meet will

By Chris Morlan The IHSAA girls track regional took place last Tuesday night at Evansville Central High School. The top three finishers in each event advance to next weekend’s state finals at Indiana University in Bloomington. North Posey had Danielle Perry compete and Mount Vernon had eleven participants in the regional.

Perry competed in the high jump and she cleared the bar at five-feet to place third in the event. This allows Perry to advance and compete at next week’s state finals. After the track meet, North Posey Coach Jessica Smith stated, “Going into regionals, we thought we were lucky just to be there. Getting out of our sectionals is a tough job, but Danielle pulled it off. Danielle was jumping beautifully and we all know she suddenly had a shot once she cleared fivefeet easily. It came down to the final four participants, but Danielle’s strong performance leading up to the five-feet and one-inch jump got her to state. We cannot wait to watch her finally get to

compete at IU with some of the states very best.”

Mount Vernon’s season ended, but there were some outstanding performances, along with a school record broken in one event. Arianna Wilkerson placed fifth in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 16.39 seconds.

Wilkerson broke the school record with her time in the 100-meter hurdles.

The top eight places score points for their teams at the regional. Mount Vernon’s 4 x 400-meter relay team of Libby Steinhart, Hallie Fisher, Cydney Cole and Summer Sanders finished seventh in the race with a time of 4:15.72.

Mount Vernon had other regional qualifiers compete at this meet. Libby Steinhart placed eleventh in the 400-meter dash with a time of 1:02.85.

32-feet and ten inches. Makenna Russell placed twelfth in the discus with a throw of 89-feet and five inches. The Lady Wildcat 4 X 100-meter relay team of Courtney Bourne, Ellie Bush, Cydney Cole and Arianna Wilkerson finished ninth with a time of 51.73 seconds.

Cats fall to Heritage Hills in sectional

Mount Vernon’s Matthew Crafton makes contact with the ball during Sectional play last week. Photo by Garry Beeson

By Dave Pearce Long-time Mount Vernon High School baseball Coach Paul Quinzer would be the first to tell you it is hard to win a baseball game without scoring runs.

That was the case for the Wildcats, who have struggled at times in some areas and excelled in others throughout the season. But in the baseball sectional opener, hosted by Bosse but played at Braun Stadium on the campus of the University of Evansville, the Wildcats simply could not string anything together and as a result, fell 2-0 to Heritage Hills to end their season one night before their high school graduation.

Dylan Dutkiewicz started the game for Mount Vernon Wildcats Varsity and recorded 15 outs. He held up his end of what was billed and played out as a pitcher’s duel.

Both teams were strong on the pitcher’s mound on Thursday, but Heritage Hills was just a little bit stronger at the plate in a victory over the Wildcats on Thursday.

The Wildcats lost despite out-hitting Heritage Hills five to four.

A single by Bronson Quinzer in the third inning was a positive for the Wildcats.

Pinckert earned the victory on the mound for Heritage Hills. He went seven innings, allowing no runs on five hits and striking out seven.

Dutkiewicz took the loss for the Wildcats. He surrendered two runs on four hits over five innings, striking out three and walking none.

Quinzer went 2-for-3 at the plate to lead the Wildcats in hits. The Wildcats had two.

Heritage Hills was sure-handed in the field and didn’t commit a single error.

Wildcat seniors Nathan Fischer, Elaman Jackson, Nathan Burke, Jack Valier, Matthew Crafton, Hunter Murphy, and Dutkiewicz played their final game in a Mount Vernon Wildcat uniform.
