Former Poseyville Clerk-Treasurer can make amends By Valerie Werkmeister Former Poseyville Clerk-Treasurer Chris Lupfer appeared in Posey County Superior Court on Friday, June 22, and pled guilty to eight felony charges that included theft, forgery, credit card fraud and official misconduct. According to Posey County Deputy Prosecutor Jonathan Parkhurst, she was sentenced to serve four years in the Department of Corrections. That sentence was then suspended to serve six months in the Posey County Community Corrections program. After taking into account good time credit served, Lupfer will serve a total of 90 only days in the Posey County Jail. In addition, Lupfer will be allowed to continue working at her factory job and will only serve her time on her days off from work. Lupfer was charged in May 2011 after a

state audit discovered missing funds and account discrepancies totaling $53,557 in town funds. She initially entered a not guilty plea. She faced three counts of forgery which are Class C felonies, three counts of credit card fraud which are Class D felonies, one count of theft and one count of official misconduct, both D felonies. Class C felonies can carry a sentence term of two to eight years and Class D felony terms range from six months up to three years. Posey County Superior Court Judge Brent Almon recused himself from the case. Evansville Judge Maurice O’Connor presided over the case and handed down Lupfer’s sentence. According to a lengthy investigation by Indiana State Police Detective (ISP) Loren Brooks and State Board Of Accounts (SBOA) auditor, Karla Giesler, Lupfer com-

mitted theft during the years of 2008, 2009 and 2010. It was discovered that Lupfer paid herself twice on many pay days by issuing a hard copy check and another check was directly deposited into her personal account. She admitted going out of Poseyville to different Fifth Third Banks to cash or deposit the additional checks to avoid being detected. Giesler determined that Lupfer had altered bank statements from Fifth Third Bank in an attempt to hide the thefts. Lupfer resigned on December 6, 2010, the same day ISP detectives spoke with Lupfer regarding the thefts. According to the arrest affidavit, she admitted shredding the original Fifth Third Bank statements with the town’s paper shredder after hours. She also admitted to using the town’s credit card to pay her personal bills that included

Insight Cable, Duke Energy and AT& T. In addition, the arrest affidavit stated she transferred money from multiple town accounts to continue to cover up the loss of funds and overdraft fees she incurred. Lupfer was also assessed with the special SBOA audit at a cost of $15,331.25. The total loss to Poseyville was $68,888.25. However, she was bonded and the town received $45,000 from the bonding company late last year. Judge O’Connor ordered Lupfer to pay $8,000 in restitution to the Town of Poseyville to cover the shortfall from the bonding company. She will also pay the entire $15,331.25 to the state for the audit. Judge O’Connor added that if the bonding company wished to recover the $45,000 from Lupfer, they would need to file a civil suit against her.

‘Tainted’ bridge subject of controversy, documentary “For years, Indiana has looked for a solution to keep the New Harmony Bridge open,” Van Haaften said to open the news conference. “It is an important artery that serves not only New Harmony but all of southwestern Indiana. “As I have thought about this and see our current leaders are just now looking for a solution since the bridge has been closed, I know that we can do something toward preserving this New Harmony Bridge,” Van Haaften said. Van Haaften, a former state representative, said the solution comes in three steps, with the first being Congress untying the hands of the Bridge Commission and empowering it to transfer the title and ownership to a willing state government. Van Haaften said he urges all area residents to contact their congressional representatives and urge Congress to take action to give the commission the right to do just that. He went on to explain that the Bridge Commission is comprised of three appointed members, two from Illinois and one from Indiana. Since that time, Congress has passed additional language that prohibits any replacement of those three. “For example, if one of those members moved to California and

By Dave Pearce A press conference held at the base of a “tainted” New Harmony Bridge on Thursday was designed to draw attention to the span that once connected New Harmony to Illinois. The bridge was closed last month after the White County Bridge Commission determined that the bridge was no longer safe for travel. Trent Van Haaften, candidate for the Indiana House of Representatives District 76 called the press conference. Van Haaften stated that he has worked with former USI President and perhaps the biggest fan of the bridge, Dr. David Rice. Van Haaften said Rice had described, in jest, that the bridge was “tainted,” as Illinois says “tain’t ours” and Indiana says “tain’t ours either.” Van Haaften called for three steps to be taken.

tion of nuisance violations at six specified properties: 1019 North Street, 618 South Street, 623 Murphy Street, 629 South Street, 1015 Main Street and 822 East Street. Council singled out and named the independent findings on each property. Each property violated one or both of two codes--either Code 8.12.020 regarding the illegal accumulation of trash, junk or cars, or Code 8.12.010, regarding the illegal spread of overgrown weeds. The council’s findings allow Town Marshal Scott Champlin to distribute letters notifying the owners of nuisance code violations. The letters will also set a date for the correction of those violations before the town cleans up the properties at the owners’ expense. Council members noted that more properties may be in violation of the nuisance code, but the specified properties are known for violations. Before the discussion leading up to the findings, New Harmony resident Carlene VanLaningham had filed her own nuisance complaint about the properties at 618 and 629 South Street. Another audience member cited the parking of a semi-truck tractor within town limits. Council member Joe Straw directed Town Marshal Scott Champlin to tell drivers to move out any semi-trucks within the town limits, for they stand in violation of a truck ordinance posted all over town. Town Marshal Scott Champlin advised all Posey County residents to attend to the burn ban issued on June 21. So far, the ban allows the use of grills, but forbids all open burning—for example, in fire pits. In other business: •Council member Linda Warrum drew attention to the Maple Hill Cemetery Care rules adopted May 17, 2012. Those rules are available at the Town Hall and also on the town website at www.newharmony-in.gov. Warrum said the town is in a transition period with

Bridge, B id ffrom P Page 1A no longer wanted to serve on it, there is no mechanism in place to replace that member,” he sated. “It then becomes a two member bridge commission. I respect those three members but down the road, you are going to have a bridge with no oversight. Once those three members are gone, there is no oversight for this bridge. None of us want to see that. Past Congressional action has created probably the biggest obstacle to all of this. That’s why I am calling for this action. This is the only bridge this bridge commission has. The State of Indiana has thousands of bridges. The State of Indiana has the expertise to take a look at this and say, ‘this is the range of options we have, repair, rehab, or replace.’ Or it may be that the final decision is that we can’t change the status quo and it will remain closed. But at least, the state would have made the effort to determine that.” “This bridge was created by an act of Congress and it is going to take Congressional action to get this bridge on the move back ,” Van Haaften said. “Understand that this bridge is owned and operated not by a government entity but by a three-member bridge commission. I applaud the valiant effort the bridge commission has made so far in just keeping this bridge open for as long as it has. But it is time to move ownership of the bridge to a governmental entity. And we are well positioned to do this. Our congressman from the Eight District is on the House Transportation Committee.” The second step, according to the candidate, is for the State of Indiana to step up. “The states of Indiana and Illinois have both long said ‘This bridge does not belong to us, we can’t help,’” Van Haaften said. “It is the right time for Indiana to step up because the most difficult decision has already been made. The Bridge Commission made the most difficult decision by closing this bridge. If Indiana takes ownership now, they are not going to be held responsible for the closing of the bridge. But what they can do is be a savior and rehab or replace this bridge.” The final step, according to Van Haaften, is to do the right kind of study to determine what it will take to rehab or replace the bridge. After such a study would be completed, then Indiana could step in as a savior and reopen the bridge. “I am here to urge everyone to urge our congressional delegation to give the bridge commission the power to transfer the ownership of the bridge,” Van Haaften said. “The bridge commission should then do the right thing and transfer that ownership. But none of this can take place without the first step being taken.” He went on to say that he has heard reports of rehabbing or replacing the bridge coming with a pricetag of anywhere from $2 to $8 million. He said that just recently, INDOT had offered to give Posey County over $2 million if the county would take possession of the bridge. He said from that offer, it is apparent that the finances do exist at the state level. “If Congress and the State of Indiana will step up, they can work together and solve this problem,” Van Haaften concluded. “To take ownership of this bridge would cost no tax dollars for Congress or the State other than the paper that act is written on. That empowers the bridge commission to take the next step.”

CRANBERRY GLAZE INGREDIENTS 1 lb of yellow onions, chopped 3 cloves garlic, crushed 1 lb zucchini, chopped 1 lb yellow squash, chopped Bell peppers, seeds removed, chopped into 1/2 inch square pieces: --1 lb green bell peppers --1/2 lb red bell peppers --1/2 lb yellow bell peppers 1 lb eggplant, 1/2 inch cubes 1 lb fresh ripe tomatoes (or equal amount of high quality canned tomatoes, chopped) 1/4 cup olive oil Salt to taste 2 sprigs thyme 1 bay leaf 1-inch sprig rosemary 3/4 cup vegetable stock (or thin tomato juice) Fresh ground pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 400° F. 2. Using a large oven-proof pan over medium high heat, sauté onions in olive oil until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and reduce heat to low. 3. While the onions and garlic are cooking over low heat, put 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a another frying pan over high heat. As soon as oil starts to smoke, quickly add enough zucchini cubes all at once to cover the bottom of the pan. Keep on cooking over high heat, stirring, until zucchini is lightly browned on all sides. Remove zucchini cubes, and add them to pan with the onions. 4. Working in batches, repeat this process until all of the zucchini cubes have been cooked. Do the same with the yellow squash. Make sure to add a little olive oil between each new batch. Continue with the bell peppers, then the eggplant cubes, adding the browned vegetables to the onion pan as soon as they are cooked. 5. When all the vegetables (except the tomatoes) are browned and in the pan with the onions, increase the heat to high and stir, making sure they don’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Add salt to taste, thyme, bay leaf, and rosemary, the vegetable stock, and stir well. Place in oven, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Alternatively you can cook them on the stovetop on low heat for 30 minutes. 6. If using fresh tomatoes, boil water in a saucepan on stove. Remove stems from tomatoes, and crisscross the bottoms with a knife. Plunge into boiling water for a minute or two, until skin starts to fall away. Rinse in cold water and remove skin. Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise, remove seeds, chop coarsely, set aside. 7. After the vegetables have been in the oven for a half hour, remove from oven, drain vegetables in a colander set over a bowl. Clean browned bits (if any) off bottom of pan with a paper towel. Return any liquid to the pan and reduce to a thick glaze over medium high heat. Keep on adding juices to the pan as they run out of the vegetables into the bowl. 8. When all the juices have been reduced, return vegetables to the heavy pan. At this point the ratatouille should be moist and shiny, with very little liquid. Turn heat off. Add the chopped tomatoes and cover. If serving as a warm side dish, let the ratatouille stand for 10 minutes, just enough to “cook” the tomatoes. The ratatouille can be served at room temperature or refrigerated and reheated the next day. 9. When ready to serve, remove the bay leaf, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Yield: Serves 6-8

CHURCH/GENERAL

Wadesville family receives highest CFCA honor for continued commitment By Carlos Casas and Pam Robinson KANSAS CITY, KANSAS (June 15, 2012) – Allison and Scott Yancey along with their children Brennen (14) and Addison (9), native Evansville Westsiders transplanted recently to Wadesville, Ind., have made giving back a family affair. For nearly 15 years, the Yanceys have committed themselves to the empowerment of families in developing countries through Christian Foundation for Children and Aging, or CFCA, an international nonprofit facilitating education for children, youth and the elderly in 22 developing countries. For their selfless dedication, the Yanceys were named the 2012 corecipients of the Pilgrimage of Faith Award -- CFCA’s highest honor. Since 1997, the Yanceys have been sponsoring children in developing countries through CFCA and encouraging others to do the same. Members of St. Mary’s parish in

Evansville, the Yanceys first responded to a CFCA advertisement in “The Message,” the weekly newspaper for Catholics in Southwestern Indiana. The family now sponsors four children, three in the Philippines and one in Columbia.The impact of these sponsorships goes far beyond the material support they provide to families in need. Scott and Allison see sponsorship as an opportunity to support and encourage children in other parts of the world, while teaching their own children valuable lessons about the importance of connecting with and learning from other cultures. “CFCA is working to help keep the family unit together in impoverished countries around the world,” Allison said. “But the work that they do, the opportunities that have been created for sponsors have helped my family grow in their faith and continue along their journey.”

The Pilgrimage of Faith Award was established in 1996 following CFCA President and Co-founder Bob Hentzen’s Pilgrimage of Faith walk from Kansas City to Guatemala. The award honors those who show outstanding commitment to CFCA’s mission and values. The Rosales family, the family of one of the children whom the Yanceys sponsor in the Philippines, was the co-recipient of the 2012 award. A social worker from the Philippines accepted the award for the Rosales family. “This year we have decided to honor the bond between sponsors and their sponsored friends by recognizing two families that

embody the spirit of our Hope for a Family sponsorship program,” said Paco Wertin, CFCA chief executive officer. “The relationship that the Yanceys and their sponsored children share is a model for the type of connections we want to create between people.” CFCA honored both families on Tuesday, June 12, during a special dinner near the CFCA headquarters in Kansas City, Kansas. “I am very humbled and honored to have our family be selected for this award,” Allison said. “I stand amazed at how in faith, if I as a person just say “yes” to a new journey or idea, God will bless and expand on this in ways that I don’t even comprehend.”

Seeds of the Sower

A little boy, playing on a wharf in a harbor, lost his footing and fell between the wharf and an 8,000 ton ship. “He’ll be crushed to death,” cried one. “No, he won’t,” said another, and he called for help. Within a few minutes two hundred men had rushed to the spot. Together they pushed the ship aside until the boy was lifted to safety. It takes the united effort of the home and church to save a boy or a girl from evil. They need us to be Bible- readers, not Bible rejecters; church-attenders, not church absentees; prayer-partners, not pleasure sure mongers; true hearted, not two-faced.

cording, “Michael McGlynn: Music for Women’s Voices” has been featured on the nationally syndicated radio program “Celtic Connections” and on “Song From Ireland” in the Netherlands. The concert is free and open to the public and a free will offering will be accepted. For more information, please call 812-425-3369 ext. 162 or email: jkorba@ evdio.org

State Police launch Crash Reduction Program way and disregarding traffic signals; 3) Unsafe speed; and 4) Driving left of center. Historically, these violations are associated with inexperienced drivers, or drivers that are fatigued or distracted by an array of electronic devices, other passengers or eating and drinking beverages while driving. Another interesting observation was the correlation between the numbers of Indiana State Police traffic contacts (tickets or warnings) issued as compared to the number of reported traffic crashes from all police agencies across Indiana. From July 2008 through March of 2012, as noted in the below graph, when the number of state police traffic enforcement contacts decreased there was an increase in the number of crashes and when the number of state police enforcement contacts increased the number of crashes showed a decrease in the same time frame. July 2008 – March 2012 Total Crashes Compared to Total Contacts Written In an effort to stop the escalation of traffic crash deaths, the state police are embarking on an aggressive traffic violation enforcement program. This program will use a combination of marked and traditional unmarked patrol cars, as well as non-traditional stealth patrol vehicles inclusive of Ford Mustangs, aircraft patrols and state police vehicles that look like INDOT work trucks that will concentrate their enforcement efforts near construction zones. The Superintendent of the Indiana State Police, Dr. Paul Whitesell, commented, “We are steadfast in our commitment to minimize the number of crashes that injure and kill people on our roadways and will use all tools and enforcement

methods at our disposal to stop such needless tragedies.”

Reducing traffic fatalities on Indiana’s urban and rural roads has been a consistent objective of the Indiana State Police and until this year success has been achieved with year after year reductions in deaths caused by traffic collisions. In large part the success has been the result of what is frequently referred to as the three ‘E’s’; Enforcement, Engineering and Education. The ‘enforcement’ part of the three ‘E’s’ is self explanatory; consistent aggressive enforcement of Indiana’s traffic laws contributes to more responsible driving so as to avoid being pulled over and cited for a traffic violation. The ‘engineering’ component reflects the ongoing improvement reflected in better engineered roads and better engineered vehicles which offer more protection for occupants. And finally, but very important, is the ‘education’ part of the three ‘E’s’. Education comes in many forms; from the print, TV or radio story about local crashes, to public safety announcements that educate citizens about aspects of risky as well as safe driving behaviors. Education also includes training and programs geared toward new and younger drivers to better prepare them to handle a vehicle responsibly. As 2012 has progressed the number of urban crashes is slightly lower but the number of rural crashes and deaths has increased. The Indiana State Police has analyzed this trend, and unlike the past, no clear pattern of location for these fatal crashes is materializing. What we see are random fatal crashes occurring in unpredictable locations. What did materialize though are the factors resulting in these senseless rural crash deaths. They are: 1) Driving off the right edge of the road; 2) Failure to yield the right of

USI girls camp is all about science The University of Southern Indiana's Girls Only (GO) STEM! Summer Camp for girls entering the 9th- through 12th-grade was held June 3-7, 2012, at USI and Holiday World & Splashin' Safari in Santa Claus, Indiana. Twenty six girls from Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky attended, including campers from as far away as Chicago, Illinois and Gary, Indiana. This is the third year for the program. GO STEM! is a five-day residential summer camp focusing on the application of science, technology, engineering, and math-related disciplines. The camp, partially funded through a grant from the Alcoa Foundation, uses

Holiday World & Splashin' Safari as a laboratory for experiments and activities. Campers stay in residence halls at USI. “Our goal is to get the girls interested In STEM disciplines,” said Allison Grabert, interim director of the Southwest Indiana STEM Resource Center in USI’s Pott College of Science, Engineering, and Education. “It’s an opportunity for the girls to build fellowship with other girls who have a passion for the sciences. It also gives them a chance to experience USI, work with faculty and staff, and gain experience they wouldn’t typically get from a mainstream curriculum.”

While at Holiday World, participants collected water samples, analyzed heart rate data, evaluated nutrition information from food samples, and collected acceleration and velocity data from roller coasters. They brought the information back to campus where they worked with the data in a lab setting. Findings were presented to the other campers at a capstone event on campus. Grabert is seeking additional funding to offer more scholarships for girls attending future camps at USI.

BUSINESS New state law moves smokers further away from entryways, Posey may enhance By Valerie Werkmeister The Posey County Commissioners may decide to take a tougher stance on smokers near county buildings. As the new state smoking ban is set to go into effect July 1, those who choose to smoke in public are prohibited from doing so within eight feet of a public entrance to a public place. Commissioner Scott

Moye pointed out that when large groups of smokers congregate outside the courthouse, the smoke is often drawn in as the doors open and close. He suggested the idea of prohibiting smoking within 25 feet of the entrance. Attorney Adam Farrar noted that it is within the commissioners’ rights to create laws that are more restrictive than state law,

just not less restrictive. He agreed to work on the matter so that the commissioners can discuss it further during their meeting in July. The commissioners approved the $282,019 quote from J & S Communications for the radio narrowbanding project. The matter was recently discussed at the Posey County Council meeting. Council members

wanted to be sure that the commissioners were on board with the project. Now that both entities have approved the quote, members of the council can begin to search for a way to pay for it. Narrowbanding is a federal mandate that requires all public safety and business land mobile radio systems that operate in the 150-512 MHz radio bands to stop operating at 25 kHz and begin using 12.5 kHz technology. Building Commissioner, Ed Battieger, presented proposals to insulate the Hovey House. A recent energy efficiency audit determined a need for better insulation within the main meeting room of the Hovey House. Most of the buildings heating and cooling energy is lost through the roof. Battieger explained two options to resolve the problem. Holes could be cut in the upstairs floor to allow insulation to be blown in or the entire ceiling could be lowered. There are many items stored upstairs and things

would need to be moved if the commissioners agreed to move forward with the option to cut holes in the floor. Battieger estimated work would take at least a month or so to lower the ceilings. Meetings would have to be moved to an alternate location during construction. Battieger will seek quotes for both options and return to the commissioners at a future date for further consideration. Highway Superintendent Steve Schenk informed the commissioners they have completed 15 miles of Posey County roads with hot mix asphalt and have re-sealed 15 miles with chip and seal. He also stated that the bridge on Huey Road is complete. In other business, the commissioners approved: • Mayor John Tucker to be the representative for the Grow Southwest Indiana Workforce • Commissioners Jim Alsop and John Sherretz to share duties on a task force for the Wadesville-

Blairsville Regional Sewer District. At least one will attend meetings as their schedules allow. • A $19,430 change order for the Levee Unit 5 project. • Resolution #06191201 regarding nepotism and resolution #06191202 regarding contracts with relatives. Both resolutions had to be passed or the state could withhold budget approval. • Industrial Contractor’s $7,275 quote for a sump pump pit in the basement at the Coliseum. This will help to dewater the sump pump pit and includes the labor, equipment and an alarm. • A one-year contract with Welborn for health insurance. The county is taking steps to reduce its overall health insurance premium by recently holding a health fair. The next Posey County Commissioner meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 3, at 9 a.m. in the Hovey House.

Uncertainty fueling Indiana farmland sales pace Activity in the land market across Kansas, Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle farm belt is up over 2011 and values continue to be strong for all classes of land. “The marketplace is showing spirited bidding for most properties,” said Monty Meusch, area sales manager for Farmers National Company in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. “We’re seeing the most demand for income producing farms and ranches.” Strong activity over the past few years continues to shrink the availability of property based on the sheer number of transactions that have taken place. Good, quality land that finds its ways to the marketplace is facing record demand. “Fewer new listings are coming on the market in most areas at this time,” said Meusch. “Demand is still robust for quality land.” Over 80 percent of purchases are going to active farmers and ranchers, with the balance being purchased by investors. “These buyers are looking to expand their operations due to the economies of utilizing their current equipment lines, strong cash positions or the ability to borrow money at current favorable interest rates,” said Meusch. Sales prices in Kansas of top quality land are selling for up to $5,000 per acre depending on location. Prices for irrigated cropland in the Texas Panhandle have reached $3,500 per acre, with similar property in Oklahoma going for $3,000 per acre. Iowa and Minnesota Demand for quality land continues to be very strong in the North Central Region including Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota and South Dakota, according to Sam Kain, area sales manager for Farmers National Company in Iowa and Minnesota. Auction numbers in this region are up over 2011, leading to top sales prices for sellers. “Farmers National Company has completed 49 auctions in this area during the first four months of 2012, compared to 20 auctions

during the same period last year,” said Kain. “Demand is still outpacing the number of properties available, and quality is definitely king.” “The bulk of buyers are still farmers,” said Kain. “However, despite continued strong land activity, higher cash rents and input costs are narrowing farmer profits. Only a quarter of purchases in the beginning of the year have gone to investors.” In Iowa, top quality land is selling at over $10,500 per acre, Minnesota values are reaching $8,000 per acre, and values in eastern South Dakota have reached $7,000. North Dakota and Northwest Minnesota The land market is very strong in the Upper Midwest Region, which includes North Dakota and Northwest Minnesota, according to Terry Longtin, area sales manager for Farmers National Company in this region. “Buyers are looking for quality land or less productive land that can be improved,” said Longtin. There are fewer properties for sale, as absentee owners and investors are holding onto their land. According to Longtin, increasing net rents and land appreciation is fueling continued ownership.‘Most land is being sold to farmers in the immediate area to expand operations,” said Longtin. In North Dakota and Northwest Minnesota, land values are up over 15 percent in the last six months and up nearly 30 percent over the last year. Top quality land values are in the $5,000 to $7,000 per acre range, according to Longtin “Average land values are hitting the $3,000 - $4,000 range, with marginal land values in the $1,500 - $3,000 range,” said Longtin. “Many farmers are purchasing land out of the Conservation Reserve Program, and then making land improvements which are bringing them immediate returns.” Colorado, Kansas, South Dakota, Central/Western Nebraska and Wyoming The western region of the farm

belt has experienced record volume land sales in the past year, according to JD Maxson, area sales manager for Farmers National Company in Colorado, Kansas, South Dakota, central/western Nebraska and Wyoming. “Demand continues to outpace farmland coming on the market as sellers are reluctant to sell,” said Maxson. “On the flip side, some sellers are capitalizing on hot market demand to get top dollar.” Huge increases in value are fueling the velocity of the current farmland market, according to Maxson. In addition, uncertainty of the market and economic factors is keeping the market active. “Historically low interest rates are driving land buyers to enhance their portfolios and hedge against inflation,” said Maxson. “Sales are being driven by the lack of available alternative financial sources, as well as the uncertainty in the financial markets.” Prices in these regions are ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 per acre for high quality tillable acres, with location, soils and topography dictating price. Illinois, Indiana and Ohio The East Central region has had bursts of farmland supply, but overall has seen a tight market, according to Roger Hayworth, area sales manager for Farmers National Company in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, eastern Kentucky, and eastern Missouri. According to Hayworth, large farm owners continue to aggressively add acres, increasing their operations. Strong demand has stayed consistent over the past year with no foreseeable end in sight. “The goal of farmer operators is to continue to control acreage,” said Hayworth. “Productivity has showed continued signs of improvement and current cash rents have increased substantially in the past two years. All of these factors are driving values and sales activity in this area.” While owners are adding to operations, investors in the market continue to compete with these aggres-

sive buyers, looking for that long-term investment, said Hayworth. Top prices in the region can be seen in Illinois at $10,500 per acre on average for high quality land. These levels are followed by Indiana showing values up to $9,000 per acre, and Ohio which has reached $7,500 per acre. Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee Activity in the Mid South remains brisk, fueled by low supply and high demand. Once properties hit the market, they are selling briskly. “We have seen dramatic price increases in some areas,” said Keith Morris, area sales manager for Farmers National Company in Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, western Kentucky,

Louisiana, and southern Missouri. “Prices are still trying to move up, but cash rents are nearly topped out in this area minimizing returns.” Investor purchases are dominating the market, followed by farmer sales. “All buyers are investing for strong returns and stability,” Morris said. Prices for top farmland are averaging $3,800 per acre in Arkansas, $3,500 per acre in Tennessee and $3,800 per acre in Mississippi. Washington Land Values in the Columbia Basin and Eastern Washington have escalated to the highest on record, according to Flo Sayre, real estate broker for Farmers National Company in Pasco, Washington. Similar to Mid-

west corn and wheat land values, dryland prices have also reached all-time high prices. “Irrigated land has increased approximately ten to twelve percent in the past year to eighteen months,” said Sayre. “Sellers are still holding tightly to the land as an income stream, while buyers are clamoring for more land. This is leading to bidding wars between buyers.” According to Sayre, the bulk of sales are going to farm operators buying neighboring land, with investors looking for a stable investment. Cash rents have increased ten to 20 percent in the region. Prices for farmland are reaching $8,500 per acre, with isolated sales nearing $10,000 per acre.

OPINION

Texting and driving, a great option for a total idiot Have you ever wondered how people can look at all the horrific pictures taken of people and automobiles that are a direct result of texting and driving yet still continue to put this deadly combination together. I thought the trend was changing for the better as schools and police departments are doing their best to get the message out. However, after my trip to work this morning, I am fairly sure the message did not get through. Barely a block from my home, I looked up only to see a teen walking across the street with her eyes to

the phone texting what must have been a very important message. Because had I been an unatten- TRUTH... tive driver, STRANGER it could THAN have cost FICTION her her life. BY DAVE S h e PEARCE w a l k e d across the street right in front of my moving vehicle without even as much as looking either direction. What could have been so important as to risk your life to text and walk into the path of a moving vehicle. Then it probably wasn’t

two miles down the road when I watched an oncoming blue Mustang as it veered back and forth across the center line. Obviously, the message he was texting must have been important because not only was he putting his own life in jeopardy but also mine. When the texting phenomenon first started, I thought it was a little weird. But the truth be known, it just shows us that even though we de-

sire to keep in touch with one another, many times we really don’t want to talk. We would rather send a message than take the time to dial the phone and take the time to carry on a conversation. Hey, I am just like everyone else. I was good with that philosophy. But then this senseless thing of texting and driving came into play. It reminds me of the problems of the old days when I was driving as a youngster and it seemed like half of the people out there were driving with a .20 or higher alcohol content. I lost

several friends as a direct result of these people who considered themselves above anyone else. It has taken literally billions of dollars in advertising to get people to realize that driving while impaired is not really a smart thing to do. How many more billions is it going to take and how many more precious lives are going to be lost before people realize that texting and driving are just a dumb combination. I can remember a time when I considered the dumbest person on the road to be the old man or

the old woman who rode the brakes and drove 30 in a 60 to try and be safe. But with modern-day technology, it is no longer the older people but the young ones...the ones who drink or text while they are driving. If it is you, I think you are the dumbest driver on the road and I have pictures and statistics to prove it. If you are the one doing it, STOP! If you aren’t, don’t start. Don’t force the government and community service to spend billions of dollars to try and keep your dumb butt alive.

Evening primrose, like life, held precious for its ephemeral beauty After a fish fry at our home a few weeks ago, our friends Fred Martin and Becky Smyth invited us to travel to their home in New Harmony to watch the evening primrose bloom. Like a dog- LIVING wood bloom without the FOR THE blood stain, the yellow JOURNEY blossoms open up each BY PAM night in June just as dusk ROBINSON falls. Fred and Becky first delighted us with the show last year. Then, my husband Jim, daughter Jessica and I marveled at the unfurling of the blooms in the starlit night. The buds quiver and then open in slow motion. The performance lasts only about 10 minutes, so an audience needs to watch in wideeyed wonder. The blooms are gone by mid-morning the next day. New buds constantly appear for about a month to produce fresh bouquets This summer, my sister Shirley was introduced to the miracle of the evening primrose. She oohed and aahed and snapped photos with her cell phone camera. Jim and I were pleased she shared our enthusiasm for the night flower.

Visiting with a friend her age, Jessica passed on the excitement this year. I turned once to see the expression on her face and, suddenly remembering her whereabouts, stopped just short of saying her name. For a 15-year-old, of course, not even the spectacle of evening primrose can entice her to sit next to her aging parents in a lawn chair instead of walking with another teen on a pleasant summer night. I missed Jessica so much, but I was learning another valuable lesson in letting go. Just a few years ago, my daughter and I looked forward to sleepovers for the two of us in her room. I’d dream up funny stories, and she’d make up silly knockknock jokes while we snuggled. We’d fall asleep with our belly full of smiles. Once, the conversation turned serious when Jessica asked if I’d tell her about her “real” mother in China. I explained her mother let her go with a blessing for her happiness and good things in life. Jessica finally broke the silence by squeezing me tight and saying, “You are

Gavel Gamut’s ‘ Hello, Is This The Parent Of...? ‘ We all dread late night phone calls as they often bear bad news. If your child has been involved in activities that would be a crime if he/she were over eighteen, you might receive such a call from a law enforcement officer or a juvenile probation officer. Usually what happens is the child is detained by law enforcement then law enforcement contacts a juvenile probation officer who contacts the child’s parents. A fairly typical telephone call might go something like this: Mr./Mrs. ________ , your son/daughter is being detained at the Mt. Vernon police station. Would you please come to the station to get him/her? When the parent(s) arrive the probation officer or the law enforcement officer usually releases the child to the parents and informs them the Prosecuting Attorney, Travis Clowers, will receive a police report on the incident from which he decides whether to press juvenile charges. If he decides he may want

to lodge a formal charge, he solicits a preliminary inquiry report from a juve-

nile probation officer. The juvenile probation officer interviews the child, the parents and any victims then makes a recommendation to the prosecuting attorney whether to file a charge. The prosecutor has the authority to accept or reject the probation officer’s view. If he agrees that a petition should be filed, then the prosecutor files a request with the juvenile court to formally file an allegation of delinquency. If the judge finds there is probable cause to believe the child has committed an offense, the court authorizes a charge. The probation officer informs the child and the parents of the actual charge and the date and time of the

first court appearance. The family may and probably should retain an attorney right away or, if the child has no funds, an attorney can be appointed during the first court appearance. What the child tells the attorney is confidential and the child has the right to remain silent. This type of procedure is fairly typical but not exclusive. Some few cases result in a child being forcefully detained in a juvenile facility, such as in Evansville or Vincennes. There are no juvenile facilities in Posey County. Other cases, about 75%, result in an “Informal Adjustment”. If a matter is handled informally, the child must complete certain requirements then the cause is dismissed and no juvenile adjudication is entered. Next week we can go into greater detail concerning each procedure. Most parents will never get that dreaded phone call, but many do. If that should happen with your child, knowing what to expect should help.

my real mother, Mom, and I love you.” For the first time since Jessica was placed in my arms, I knew if I could reunite her with her birth mother, I’d do it, right on the spot. My heart held enough love to displace my insecurities about “the other woman.” I only wanted my daughter’s life to be complete. I remember that moment now when I wave goodbye to Jessica as she goes away on an overnight mission trip or basketball camp. I hide my tears behind

a smile and pray Godspeed for her and her friends. When I welcome her home, I thank God for the opportunity to prepare her for putting away childish things. I’m proud of the capable young adult Jessica has become. Her childhood is like the blooming of the evening primrose – all the more beautiful for its brevity. Like Jessica’s birth mother, I’m grateful for letting go of the space that has enabled Jessica to grow.

Guest Column by State Rep Wendy McNamara Educating the next generation’s workforce Having a highly skilled and educated workforce is vital to our state’s longterm economic security and to preparing young adults to be successful citizens. It was recently announced that Indiana ranks 42 in the percentage of its workers with a four-year college degree. This statistic is concerning, since in the 21st Century job market, the majority of job openings will require education beyond high school. As a state, we must ensure that there are programs available to get more students equipped with the education and skills they need to be successful in their life and in their careers. As the Director for EVSC Early College High School, I see every day the challenges that face students in pursing post-secondary education. The first year of college can be a vulnerable

time for many students, especially first-generation students who are unfamiliar with financial aid, academic commitments and what will be expected of them within a collegiate environment. Too often today because of many factors, a high school’s focus is on meeting the course requirements for college rather than on readiness for postsecondary success. Programs that allow students to work on a high school diploma and earn college credit simultaneously are key to showing students how postsecondary education is an option for them. For many students, Early College and similar programs open the door to higher education and the opportunity to seek better paying employment and careers within the community. By equipping students with the resources and skills they

need also serves as a means to influence economic development and expand educational attainment. Another great Indiana program, KnowHow2GO, works to connect Indiana’s students and workforce with the resources they need to be successful. The program offers practical tips and resources to help Hoosiers of all ages get ahead in school and prepare for college and careers. It has everything from summer camps and internships to college visits and career fairs. The program also serves as a vital tool in helping students prepare for jobs or college with a series of tips and events this summer. For more information about Indiana’s KnowHow2GO Campaign call 1.800.992.2076 or visit: www.in.gov/knowhow2go/2379.htm

Letters to the Editor Thank you to the North Posey community for once again making the North Posey Relay for Life a great success. As the saying goes '' it takes a village to raise a child'', we all know it takes the entire community to make the Relay for Life come together each year. We are just a few tousand dollars shy of our goal and we have until August 31st to accomplish it. Thank you committee members, team captains, teams, survivors, caregivers, participants and each and every person who supported the relay in some form or other. To be a part of the Relay

for Life is important in so many ways--we are helping find a cure for cancer, celebrating the survivors, remembering those who lost their battle with cancer and fighting back as a community to support a cause, because cancer has touched each and everyone of our lives in some form or another. We can not possible name each individual who have helped but we truly appreciate each and everyone of you. It was awesome to look around the track and see all the decorated tents, to watch all the people participating in the numerous activities, paying tribute to the survivors at

REVEREND BILL PING FEEDING THE MULTITUDES FOR 64 YEARS R

ev. Bill Ping has fed the multitudes for 64 years now. He started preaching in 1948, three years before his ordination as an Evangelical United Brethren, or EUB, pastor, until the EUB merged with the United Methodist Church, or UMC, in 1967. The United Methodist churches in Stewartsville and Cynthiana called Ping out of retirement to minister to them for one year. That was 27 years ago this July 1. The 84-year-old minister is keeping his northern Posey County churches until he fulfills his promise to preside over the marriage of a special young Stewartsville couple next year. Of course, his second retirement seems to depend a lot on the wishes of the Stewartsville and Cynthiana congregations. “’Quit talking about leaving us,’ they tell me. ‘When we get done with you, we’ll tell you.’” Ping says the congregations scold any time he mentions retirement. “It’s been a very, very good relationship.” The lean gentleman wears his age very well and works out six days a week, one hour every morning, at Elite Fitness in Princeton, Indiana. He complains only of the removal of skin cancers. “I’ve always fished in cutoffs and no shirt. I didn’t wear a shirt until I turned 70,” Ping explains. “Doctor says I’m paying for it now.” He grew up on a farm in Eldorado, Illinois, and lives on 31 acres in Owensville now surrounded by his six children. Their homes are cabins built from reconditioned logs previously sheltering other families from the elements. Hal Wolford devoted a three-minute segment of “On the Road” to showcasing the beauty of the homes and their wooded setting. Ping can walk out his front door and fly fish for bass and bluegill, the way his father-in-law taught him years ago, in the lake that creates his front yard. On June 5, he had 96 pounds of filets in his deep freeze. “I feed so many people,” he says. On Flag Day, the Army veteran fed around 15 pounds of filets to the families of Owensville American Legion, where he serves as chaplain and on the honor guard. Every year, he puts on a fish fry for his Stewartsville and Cynthiana congregations and for the Ping family reunion. This year, his congregations will host a sister church in Princeton for a fish fry as well. Ping preaches at Stewartsville UMC every Sunday morning, then travels to Cynthiana UMC to deliver the same sermon there. In addition, he visits shut-ins, nursing home residents and hospital patients in these congregations. His schedule now is laid-back, however, compared to his routine during the height of his ministry in the sixties. After 19 years in ministry, Ping and his family were assigned to help three congregations in Freeport, Illinois, in their desire to build a new church and ministry together. The new congregation joined the civil rights movement under the organization of a Catholic priest and an African American truck driver. When the priest moved after a year, Ping was tapped to become the new co-chair with the truck driver. “That was the most exciting ministry I’ve had, those seven years in the civil rights movement,” Ping recalls. “We weren’t very popular. We opened up housing. We took people to court who discriminated. We picketed the mayor’s office when they didn’t do right. We picketed the housing authority. We picketed Welfare for turning down people. “ Ping’s civil rights organization outwitted, for example, one particularly sneaky landlord leasing 55 units of housing – mostly to whites. When an African American or interracial couple looked at an apartment, they were told another couple had just expressed interest in the unit. The landlord would promise to call the minority couple if the deal fell through and then, of course, would never call. Ping’s group quickly learned to send in a white couple on the same day the minority couple was turned away. The white couple would bring in the signed housing contract and thus deliver proof of discrimination that won the day in court. So Ping and his followers did more—much, much more— than picket. They took specific action against discrimination and won—in a part of the country, northern Illinois, that supposedly harbored no racism. In addition, they opened a free health clinic with two doctors and seven nurses in a renovated, abandoned Chrysler garage. They opened their own homes to flower children whose families disowned them for wearing long hair. “It was a good ministry,” Ping says. He has also been active in the Boy Scout movement and speaks with relish about training with his entire family, including his beloved late wife Mary Beth (Barry), at the national Boy Scout ranch in Philmont, New Mexico, under a retired Army general who had served in the Korean War. “I couldn’t ask for anything better,” Ping declares about his life. “I wouldn’t do anything different.” And that’s no fish story.

Did you know? American males now retiring later According to the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College University, men are now retiring later than they have in the past. In an analysis of data collected by the U.S. Census

Bureau, the Center for Retirement Research found that the average retirement age for men has risen from 62 in the mid-1990s to 64 near the end of the first decade of the 21st century.

The reasons for this change are likely not because men are reluctant to leave office life behind, but because of a variety of factors that have to do with finances. Many companies

no longer offer pension plans, so men are more likely to work longer to save more money for their retirement. In addition, Social Security benefits in the United States are now

calculated differently than they were in the past, so men have a greater incentive to work longer. But finances aren't the

only reason men work longer. Many men now have jobs that are not physically taxing, enabling them to work longer as a result.

Referee Extraordinaire...nearly 50 years of making the right call By Dave Pearce When you hang around athletic circles, you often hear “jocks” talk about how many times they have made it to the state finals. Sometimes you hear about their great athleticism or the great teams they were on that got them there. However, how many times do you hear of a 73-year-old participating in the state finals of two different states in the same year? Referee Melvin Paul Redman did that…just this year. This year was his third basketball state final game in the State of Florida. He also was a referee in the Indiana State football final game this year. This was Redman’s 49th year in officiating and he still referees basketball, baseball, and football. He got started in an unlikely fashion when he sustained an injury and while he traveled with his team, was unable to compete because of an injury. Who would think that single incident nearly 50 years ago would have such an impact on the life of this Posey County man, or the thousands of athletes he would meet and enjoy down through the years. “We were playing independent basketball for Big N Corporation and we went to Corydon and I couldn’t play and the referees didn’t show up,” Redman says of his unlikely start. “They asked me if I would just stand alongside the court and just call the obvious things. So I did and they all said I did just as good a job as the real referees so I thought maybe I should look at doing it.” Redman said he wasted little time getting his Indiana license and began refereeing at the seventh and eighth grade level. “It was five years before I refereed a varsity game,” Redman said. “Things were a whole lot different back then. Now they referee one year and they can get a varsity game. It wasn’t like that at all.” Redman said one of primary the reasons he has been able to be successful and enjoy the ride is because he has been able to tune out the fans. “I can be standing two feet from a fan whose screaming at me and I never even hear it,” Redman said with the infectious smile that has made him a favorite among athletes and administrators alike. But Redman said his ability to be matterof-fact and to be stern on the court came early in his career. “I had been refereeing a lot of indepen-

dent basketball down here at the Armory in Mount Vernon,” Redman said. “The week before, they had beat up a referee so I told them I was going to quit. But one of the guys told me that I was one of the best they had and I needed to come back.” But when Redman came back, he brought “his little friend.” “The next time I went back, I took my .357 Magnum with me,” Redman said with a steadfast face. “I had my duffle bag and I put my shoes on and I took my .357 Magnum out and I blew my whistle and everybody stopped.” Redman said he stood in the middle of the court and made the announcement that he had come back at their request. However, it had come with a commitment from both parties.” “You see this?” Redman asked all the players on the floor. “The first guy that touches me I am going to shoot his ass. It’s not going to be one of those ‘I’m sorry I didn’t see you’ or some other flimsy excuse. If you hit me, I am going to kill you.” Redman said it must have made an impact as from that point forward he never had another problem refereeing independent basketball. As a matter of fact, he met one of the players who had been in the gym that day just about three weeks ago. The man even remembered him by name. He came up to him and called him by name and asked him if he still carried his gun. “Back then, you didn’t have nay protection,” Redman said. “Back then you were on your own. Now, with the Association and things, if you touch a referee, you pay dearly.” Redman said he has never been touched by anyone during his basketball career. Perhaps his closest call came at nearby Tecumseh, when a purse-wielding grandma made her way to the court before he warned her that she had better field a seat on the bench. Redman has refereed in three Indiana State Basketball championship games. He also refereed in the first year of the “Tournament of Champions” a couple of years after Indiana went to “class” basketball. He has also refereed in six Indiana State Football Championship games. Some name players who come immediately to mind when he thinks back about games he has done are Jerry Sloan, Larry

Humes, Bob Griese, Larry Bird, Jay Cutler, Pat Graham, Ken Dilger, Damon Bailey, and countless other players who have gone on to become college and even professional athletes. “In the Salem Sectional when Larry Bird was at Springs Valley, one year there were three 6-foot-9 players in that one little sectional,” Redman said. “Bird was probably the worst of the three. His team lost but then they came back and were 18-0 going into the sectional his senior year and they lost that year, as well.” As far as high school basketball athletes are concerned, Redman said that Bailey was unquestionably the best high school player he ever saw play. “He knew exactly where every person was and what they were doing every minute they were on the court,” Redman said. “When a referee blew a whistle, he knew which referee blew the whistle and which referee to throw the ball to.” Redman said that much like the teams in the southern part of the state, the good officials from this part of the state also rarely get a fair shake. It took him until 1984 before he was able to secure a spot in a state championship game. “We’re a long way from Indianapolis so our southern officials and our southern officials get no recognition at all,” Redman said. “When I worked my first state finals, only two other officials from this part of the state had ever worked a state finals game.” But as Redman has aged, he spends the winters in Florida and his summers in Indiana. He could referee a game, or even multiple games, almost every night during the winter and the summer. Once in Florida, it took only running into an Indiana official at a basketball game and soon he was back doing the thing he loves to do, and doing it at the highest level. “In Florida, if they have 300 people at a high school basketball game, they think they have a crowd,” Redman said with a smile. “Sometimes I wish they could come up here and see what it is like to referee a basketball game in Indiana. But down there, a high school football game will draw 7000 or 8000. They love their football.l” Redman cites his good health and willingness to make himself available to officiate as well as his years of experience for his

Mel Redman success. “I enjoy it so much that when I wake up in the morning and know I have a game that night, I look forward to it all day long,” Redman said. “When there is nothing going on and I don’t have a game, it is almost like I am a little depressed because I don’t have that to look forward to.” So with such an illustrious career and considering his age, is he thinking about hanging it up anytime soon. “I am going to do it as long as I am able to do it,” Redman said. “Not too long after I got into officiating, I had probably the best referee I have known talk to me about my future,” Redman said. “He told me that I was going to be a good referee and that it wouldn’t take long until he would reach a place to where he would not even hear the crowd. And he also told me that there would come a time when I would be able to start hearing the crowd again. He told me when that time came, it meant it was time to get out. So far, I haven’t heard the crowd.” Redman has a daughter, Troy, and two sons, Todd and Trent. He is married to Annemarie.

Koester ties three factors together, finishes St. Wendel 5K at 83 By Holly Heerdink When 83-year-old Loretta Koester talks about her life, three components are brought to the forefront:

family, health and community involvement. So when Loretta had the opportunity to combine all three at the first annual St. Wendel

Sonny Brandsasse, (l) a Mount Vernon Nursing Home Resident, proudly wears one of his medals during this year’s award ceremony. Photo by Zach Straw

Grillin’ & Chillin’ 5K, she jumped at the chance. Four generations of the Koester clan participated in the 3.1 mile walk/run, the youngest in a stroller and the oldest, Loretta, walking with her family members. Many factors led Loretta to participate in the event. First, several of her sons are active in the St. Wendel Men’s Club, and she wanted to support the church. She also knew she could enlist other relatives to join her, and she thought it would be a great way to set an example for her family and people of all ages. Add the fact that Loretta loves challenges and always promotes healthy living, and taking part in the 5k was a no-brainer. Before the race, Loretta took an atypical approach to training. She did not go for daily walks or practice on the course. Instead, Loretta conditioned by working in her garden. “I felt like if I could work out in the garden, I sure could walk those three miles,” she said with a laugh. “And besides my family that I came from, I treasure my health more than anything else.” When the morning of the race came, Loretta and her family were ready. The Koesters positioned them-

selves at the end of the line of runners, and they stuck together during the event. They focused on their family time with one another, not the time it would take them to finish the course. Loretta particularly enjoyed how people in the area pitched in to make the 5k a success. Many houses in the St. Wendel neighborhoods decorated for the event: some with themes like Margaritaville, Fourth of July and construction zone. Although there was some time between the Koester family and the other runners, most of the homeowners waited to greet Loretta and offer encouraging words. “Almost every stop came out and chatted and several put their arms around her,” said Lisa Koester, her daughter-in-law and fellow participant. “She was getting a lot of cheering. She had great community support.” Loretta crossed the finish line after one hour and twelve minutes on the course. “We started last because we had the three little ones,” Loretta said. “So we were the last ones to start the

said with a smile. “He started riding a little bit and one day he said, ‘dad, you need to get a bike and start riding with me’. That was all the motivation I needed. And we have had an awful lot of fun riding together and have had some great times together. But it is for him more than anything.” But while Ackerman, by his own admission, attempts to be careful, he knows that the possibility of injury always exists. But with the protective gear and the safety devices in place, he doesn’t see the risk any greater than that of a high school softball player or football player. So he rides. “This is my second year of actually riding in Posey County and officially racing,” the mild-mannered doctor explained. “Last year I ran in the beginner class and I was the slowest person on the track. I think I was even slower than the little guys on their 50s.” Ackerman said that some of his fellow riders have also been patients of his following some bang-ups. But again, his primary motivation is his son. “He has always had motorcycles, even when he was three or four he had one with training wheels,” Ackerman explained. “But up until the past two or three years, he didn’t have an interest in racing. That was when he was about 11. Then he developed more interest and

OUR WEDDING... GOLDIA & CHARLES THOMAS Goldia Shephard (Barber) and Charles L. Thomas were united in marriage on Saturday, May 12, 2012. The double-ring ceremony was performed by Pastors Jason Farrar and Steve Kochersperger. The 2 o’clock ceremony took place at the Lighthouse Assembly of God Church in New Harmony, Ind. The pews were decorated with silk flowers, dogwood blossoms, and a bow of bridal netting. The church was filled with 278 family and friends that shared in this beautiful day. Darlene Pruitt and Jennifer Pruitt attended the Guest Book and passed out bubbles. Preludes for the ceremony were performed by Carolyn Stone and Danielle Rush. The songs were Butterfly Kisses, The Rose, and Butterfly Waltz. Jeremy and Cindy Farrar, son and mother team, sang the song “To Me” for the Sand Ceremony in memory of Goldia and Charlie’s mothers, Cathrine K. Barber and Rebecca J. Thomas. The color of sand was white (God), Pink (Rebecca), and yellow (Cathrine). The Bride Attendants were Carrie Parmenter, wearing a floor-length silk gown of pastel yellow with one strand of pearls, and Leslie Freeman, wearing a floor-length silk gown of pastel peach and one strand of pearls. They are friends of the Bride. The flower girl was Hayden Farrar, and she wore a pale pink dress with pearls in the bodise and one strand of white pearls. She also had white gloves and a pink bow headband. She is the friend of the Groom.

Carrie and Leslie carried silk flower bouquets of pink, yellow and peach with dogwood blossoms, all made by Margaret Scherzinger, friend of the Bride. The song, Love Me Tender, was played by Carolyn and Danielle as the Bridesmaids and Groomsmen, friends of the Groom, walked down the aisle. The ladies were escorted by Bob Green (Leslie) and Steve Defur (Carrie), and Joshua as Ring Bearer (Hayden) wearing a black suite and yellow striped tie. Joshua is a friend of Goldia. The theme was western outfit for the guys. Charles wore a blue western-cut suit with a white silk western shirt. He had on a white rose boutonniere. The Groomsmen also wore white roses and they had white or blue shirts with their suits. The Bridal Chorus was played by

Mrs. Stone and Ms. Rush. The Bride approached the altar wearing a long Jade by Jasmine gown with an ivory organza and a matching veil. She also wore two strands of pearls borrowed from her sister Helen. Her hair was done by her other sister Donna. The reception was held at Murphy Park Shelter House where pink, yellow, and white decorated the windows, and bouquets of flowers decorated the tables. Serving at the reception were Edith Brown, Bridget Cox, Carrie Parmenter, Lianna Defur, Billie Sue Deckard and Danielle Rush. The food was served by Carrie, Edith, Danielle, and Ms. Frayser. The 3-tier western-themed cake, made by Fred Frayser, featured a cowboy and cowgirl cake topper. The cake was served with a western knife server, and Bride and Groom glasses had G. & C. engraved by Rick, who also engraved the heart and flower holders for the Sand Ceremony. The Bride and Groom received a stay in a cabin at the State Park from friends. We wish to thank everyone.

Thank you to everyone for your kindness and friendships. You all are awesome. Thank you for all the gifts; they were greatly appreciated. Mr. & Mrs. Charles L. Thomas

More than one Dorothy can sing a sweet song By Holly Heerdink When most people think of a woman named Dorothy, their minds instantly conjure up images of the sweet-singing teenager from “The Wizard of Oz.” But there is another vocalist named Dorothy, and this one calls New Harmony “home.” She may not have followed the yellow brick road to Posey County, but Dorothy Staley has been many places and seen many things in her 90 years. “I’ve been back and forth and all over creation,” she said as she sat in her room at the Charles Ford Memorial Home. Throughout her life, Dorothy has visited 46 of the lower 48 states either by car or by railroad. She has lived in cities like Los Angeles and Chicago, and she has even been to eight European countries. Out of all these places, she likes New Harmony the best. “It’s a lovely town, and I like the atmosphere because it’s unique,” Dorothy said. “You don’t find a place like this anyplace else that I’ve ever been. It is gracious, and all the people I’ve met have just been absolutely charming.” Besides her travels, Dorothy has embarked on some exciting adventures. She attended Northwestern University and majored in voice. While in college, Dorothy sang in a girls’ octet, and the group eventually joined the Billy Graham Crusades when it began around 1950. One of the times she performed with the evangelical minister, Dorothy sang at Soldier Field. “Soldier Field is 90,000 people, and the other performances were smaller,” she said about her experiences with the Crusades. “But they were never small groups. I guess that’s the largest I’ve ever sung.” Dorothy said music has been a large part of her life. She still enjoys singing, and she says there is a secret to her musical longevity: Her mentor in college refused to train anyone who had not reached the age of puberty. He told her vocal cords need to develop just like any other part of the human body. “These child singers, by the time they’re 20, they’re through,” Dorothy said. “I’m 90, and I can still sing because I had the right training. I’m very fortunate for that.” These days, music continues to play a vital role in Dorothy’s life. She holds season tickets for the Evansville Philharmonic, and she goes to all of the chorus and orchestra concerts in New Harmony. In her spare time, Dorothy likes reading, playing bridge with other residents at the Ford Home and keeping up with her three kids and their families. As she chatted about her life, she pointed to photographs of her family members and told about their endeavors. She said that all of her kids are successful, and she is proud of what they have accomplished. Her daughter followed in her footsteps and majored in voice at Northwestern University. Her two sons have become businessmen. So what exactly is Dorothy’s recommendation to leading a happy, fulfilling life? She recalled a piece of advice her voice professor had once told her. “Be assured of your own ability, but never be thinking you’re superior,” she said. “Keep your equilibrium.”

Family, faith, love have kept a smile on his face and song in his heart By Valerie Werkmeister It doesn’t take a person long after sitting with John Webb to hear what some of the important things in life are. Family, faith, hard work and above all else…love. The very first thing he admits as the highlight of his life was marrying his wife, Jean. It’s easy to hear the pride in his voice as he shares stories about the woman he has shared more than 60 years of his life with. He recounted a few stories of their life together on their farm raising three sons, Dan, Dennis and Robbie, as well as their involvement in various civic, religious and work responsibilities. A lifetime of memories were built with the woman who captured his heart and to his parent’s delight, finally married their son as he was an aged, 24. It’s also easy to understand the strain on his heart as he explains how he has had to live the past four years at home, by himself. Jean now lives in a nursing home in Newburgh. He visits her two or three times a week and is still smitten with a lady that he describes as, “very smart and very pretty.” He even noted that she does not have any wrinkles on her face or neck. No doubt many women would love to know her secret. On June 30, they will celebrate 61 years of marriage together. No doubt many young couples today could learn a lesson in devotion from a pair who, as John described were, “not a big success story but, lived well.” John met Jean through an organization he gives a lot of credit to called the Indiana Rural Youth. The group began meeting with youth across the river in White County and they began dating in 1950. “When I saw her, I just knew we would make a good pair,” he said. Once they were married, they started out living on his family’s farm where they carried on the family farm business. Compared to today’s standards of farming, it was truly hard work. There were no air conditioned tractor cabs or GPSguided systems. In fact, in John’s day, there weren’t even many tractors in use. Instead, he did his farming with mules and his own bare hands. “It was hard work. It was a lot of hand work not with machines like it is today,” he said. One of his family’s biggest accomplishments was, indeed, back—breaking labor. They cleared 120 acres of stump ground owned by Mattie Boren. Nobody wanted the ground at the time and it took his family five years to pick up the stumps and clear the land to make it tillable. His family eventually farmed the land and John farmed it for 30 years himself as well. “We did it for no extra pay,” he said. Eventually, John was able to purchase a new tractor that he proudly still owns today. A 1954 International Super MTA with live power take-off. “It was the Cadillac of tractors at that time,” he said. He also had a mounted corn picker and a field chopper which he added, “came in mighty handy.” When asked if the tractor has been restored, John said that it hadn’t, other than by keeping a good coat of paint on it. I soon learned that there was no need to restore it. “It runs perfect,” John chuckled. A testament to how wellbuilt some things were in the past. Given Posey County’s current drought conditions, John speculated that it would be doubtful if the corn crops would bring in 100 bushels per acre this year, if that. Normally, they would produce as much as 200 bushels per acre. He remembered one particularly bad year for farming in 1957. A severe storm came through the area and he wasn’t able to get back into the farm fields until June 15, that year. “We had to re-break 80 acres of land. We managed to raise a crop, but it was late, late, late.” John was primarily a livestock and grain farmer all his life, although there are a few other accomplishments of which he is proud. He served on the Rural Electric Membership Com-

mission (REMC) board and was the youngest director at age 31. He attended meetings in Vincennes and worked to electrify the oil fields in the Griffin bottoms. Before then, the oil wells were pumped with gasoline motors that constantly had problems. Many were eager to equip the oil fields with electricity for smoother operation. Webb was also instrumental in running a transmission line that ran from Bugtown, located between New Harmony and Poseyville, to the county line. Despite his own achievements and duties, John was quick to remember Jean’s as well. While he attended national conventions, she would often travel along. “She was a tremendous help and everyone respected her,” he said. Jean served as a secretary at North Elementary for 19 years while Bob Hunt was principal. She was a popular secretary who did her job well. In general, he spoke admirably of his wife who was wellrespected for her honest and truthful character. She was sought out by businessmen and politicians in the Carmi, IL area to help manage their businesses. He explained that her desire to earn an education and learn as a child, led her to walk two miles each way to a one-room schoolhouse. As she walked, she would stop by the homes of her cousins who would accompany her the rest of the way to school. She skipped the fourth grade since she was the only student for that grade and graduated from high school at the age of 16. Her hard-working attitude melded nicely with John’s. They worked their farm together. They milked cows and sold the cream. They made a living by working hard. Today, John notices there are fewer family farms than in his early days. He also notices big changes in Poseyville, although some may argue how small towns never change. He remembers a time when every business had a hitch and rack in front of it. He would drive his team of horses to town to collect feed and while treating himself to a Coke, he could tie the team to the hitch and rack. Another difference is the absence of the railroad in Poseyville’s daily life. The rails were recently dismantled and taken up. He remembers when blocks of ice were brought in by rail car and watermelons were packed in ice and shipped to be sold. At that time, there wasn’t electricity and everyone would gather by the rail cars to try and get any extra blocks of ice that might be left. Webb said his family farm didn’t get electricity until 1942. He remembers sitting on the porch of his aunt’s house across the street from Hirsch’s Department Store. During the Depression, He would see people leave the Trustee’s office, that was located in a portion of Hirsch’s at that time, with small bags. His aunt explained to him that the bags contained flour. As a child, he couldn’t understand what a person could do with a bag of flour. She told him that if a person had a little meat grease, they would use the flour to make a little gravy. He spoke fondly of Charles and Erma Hirsch who helped his family out at various times in his life. He attributes Charlie with the honor of saving his back by building a pair of arch supports for his flat feet. “In March of 1945, I was turned down by the military due to my incredibly flat feet and poor color perception,” John said. His feet led him to have back problems which Charlie was able to remedy with the new arch supports he began making and selling at the department store. Erma worked at the Poseyville Bank and she, along with Paul Fletchall, would always lend John money when he needed it. He still carries the utmost respect for them to this day. One of the things John misses about Poseyville is just, “a place to loaf”, as he calls it. There was always someplace to sit and chat with others while coming to town to do busi-

John Webb knows the meaning of hard work, success in life and marriage. Photo by Valerie Werkmeister ness. He is glad that Harold’s Restaurant provides some of the same hospitality that it always has. His daily ritual includes meeting his friends and local farmers at 7 a.m. for their daily coffee. At 85, he is the longest, continuous attending member of St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Poseyville. He began attending services as an infant with his family and has proudly held nearly every office there is to hold. He challenged church members to donate and pay the loan off during a year’s time while he was finance chairman. He particularly remembers the proud moment when the church paid off a $16,000 note for the fellowship hall. Jean also served as a district treasurer for the church for four years. “She did it because she was able to do it,” he proudly recalls. In addition to his daily coffee meetings and visits with Jean, he also travels to Carmi twice a week to meet with a group of men for religious talks and fellowship. He enjoys socializing with friends in New Harmony and going to the Community Table meal at St. Paul’s every Thursday evening. “I’ve seen both ends of the trail…from horse drawn carriage to air-conditioned tractors. I’ve enjoyed the journey and while Jean and I aren’t a big success story, we lived well and we never went broke.”

Choosing long-term care takes times, energy (ARA) - Transitioning to life in a nursing home can be difficult, especially after living independently. When thinking about the next step for yourself or a loved one, it is important to consider how the quality of care you receive will affect your health and well-being. It’s helpful to plan ahead, consider all your long-term-care options, and make good financial plans early. Here are five tips for choosing the nursing home that is right for you or your loved one: Determine if a nursing home is your best option Depending on your needs and resources, you may have other long-term-care options available to you. For example, you may be able to get the services and support you need in your own home or in other types of community housing. If you’re in a hospital or working with a home health agency, a discharge planner or social worker can explain your options and

help arrange your care. You can also talk to your doctor, family members, friends, neighbors or clergy to get additional opinions on longterm care options. Find nursing homes in your area If you or someone you know has access to the Internet, visit Medicare’s Nursing Home Compare at www. medicare.gov/NHCompare to help find nursing homes in your area. You can search by nursing home name, city, county, state or ZIP code. If you do not have access to the Internet, your local library may be able to help you find the information on Nursing Home Compare. You can also call 800-MEDICARE for further assistance. Your area agency on aging can also help you choose a nursing home, as well as help you and your family plan for long-term care. Contact the U.S. Administration on Aging to get in touch with your area agency on aging by visiting the Eldercare Lo-

cator at www.eldercare.gov or get information by calling 800-677-1116. Compare quality of care It’s important to compare the quality of care that nursing homes provide in order to find the home that meets your needs. Nursing Home Compare has a five star quality rating system for certified Medicare and Medicaid nursing homes that indicates meaningful differences between high- and low-performing homes. On Nursing Home Compare, you can evaluate the nursing homes you’re considering by clinical quality measures, staffing, and health and fire safety inspection results. Visit potential nursing homes After comparing the quality of care provided by nursing homes in your area, it is important to visit the homes you are interested in to see if you would be comfortable and happy living there. Nursing Home Compare provides maps and directions to listed nursing homes. The easyto-use information provided by Nursing Home Compare can guide you in talking to nursing home staff about the quality of care they provide. Medicare provides a great Nursing Home Checklist that outlines things to look for - and key questions to ask - when visiting potential homes. Consider your needs When you have all the information about the nursing homes you’re interested in, consider which ones will best meet your personal needs. Think about location and proximity to family and friends, availability and when you can move in, any cultural or religious preferences you may have and other personal factors important in creating a comfortable living environment. If you’re helping a loved one choose a nursing home, keep the person you’re helping involved in making the decision as much as possi-

ble. People who are involved from the beginning are better prepared when they move into a nursing home. All the resources mentioned above can be found at www.medicare.gov/ nhcompare or by calling 800-MEDICARE (TTY 877-486-2048).

Ruth Lupfer has done it all but has so much more to do and playing with her grandkids, the current resident of the Charles Ford Memorial Home has lived a busy life. Ruth has spent almost her entire life in Posey County. After graduating from Cynthiana High School, she attended DeBrys Beauty School. The training she received there prepared her for her first two hairdressing jobs in Evansville. She said she absolutely loved her work, but she quit six months after her first child was born. It was difficult for her to be a mother and work at the beauty salon, and Ruth wanted to spend more time with her children. However, it was not long before Ruth’s husband urged her to find a job she could do with the small children. “First he said to raise pigs, and I said no, I’m not raising pigs,” Ruth said with a chuckle. “Then he said how about driving a school bus, and I said I could probably handle that.” So Ruth started a school bus route, and she drove for nearly ten years. Although the job requires a lot of patience, Ruth stuck to a strategy that served her well. When the students boarded the bus for the first time at the beginning of the school year, Ruth required them to sit down and mind their manners. All of the children knew what was expected of them, and, as a result, Ruth had “good” kids. A few years into her job as a bus driver, Ruth felt the desire to do hair again. She opened her own beauty shop called Guys and Gals. Her store was located between Cynthiana and Poseyville, and she successfully balanced her school bus job with her beauty shop. Eventually, however, Ruth

left her driving job to focus on her business. Regardless of the job title she held, Ruth also found herself working as a part-time farmer. Her husband farmed on the side, and Ruth was often there to help. She assisted him with the chemicals and preparing the ground for planting. “He wouldn’t let me plant corn, and he wouldn’t let me combine. Otherwise, I did everything,” Ruth said. One day, Ruth hitched a wagon full of corn to the back up her pick-up. It was her first time driving with the wagon, and her husband advised her to take it slow. Even with his warning in mind, Ruth never expected the wagon to push her as hard as it did. “I have a tendency to drive fast anyway,” she explained. “I came over a hill from our house down to the farm. When I hit my brakes, I was going downhill and that pickup just kept going. Thank God there was a road there. I went on straight and slowed it down until I could turn. It scared me to death.” Although Ruth no longer cuts hair, drives a school bus or works on the farm, she remains active. She plays cards about four or five nights a week at the Ford Home. She also enjoys reading, spending time with her family, going to dinner with her friends and using her computer. Ruth’s life in Posey County has been an exciting journey with people she truly cares about. Her roots are here, and she is thankful for everything our county offers. “People are really quick to pitch in and help here,” she said. “There’s just a lot of nice people in this area.”

Owen Dunn continues to compete, weather, experience take toll By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon American Legion baseball team ran into a series of strong teams last week. In fact, they hit the “Wahl” almost from the start. Rockport came out hitting the ball Tuesday night and put Owen Dunn in an early hole they couldn’t climb out of as the Spencer County team took a 13-3 decision in eight innings under the 10-run rule. Devin Wahl and Damon Wahl sheared the pitching duties for Rockport and basically shut Post Five down on three hits Tuesday. Devin retired the first eight batters he faced while tossing the first five innings, then Damon took over and shut things down the rest of the way. “We dug ourselves a big hole early and really didn’t get out of it,” coach Dan McNamara said. “We were putting the ball in the hitting zone a little more than we needed to. Trevor (starting pitcher Trevor Veeck) settled down and got a few outs, he got through some innings, but he just got in too big a hole.” Walks and hard hits led to four runs in the top of the first and then lead-off walks led to more Rockport runs in the second and third innings as the Spencer County team scored in each inning except for the fifth. Trent Benningfield belted a solo home run in the top of the fourth inning, as Rockport scored single runs in the middle frames and four more in the top of the eighth to put the game away. “They would get runners on base and they hit the ball hard,” McNamara explained. “We just couldn’t find the hole, we just couldn’t get it going. They made the plays; they (Rockport) have a pretty good ball club. We just got into too big a hole.” Four straight two-out walks led to Mount Vernon’s first run of the night in the bottom of the third inning. A lead double by Veeck was the first hit and he came around on a twoout double by River VanZant. Rockport plated four runs in the top of the first inning and then bookended that with a four-run eighth, wearing Mount Vernon down with five single-run frames. VanZant also singled for Post Five, but the Mount Vernon team managed just one other hit—a double by Trevor Veeck which led to a run on VanZant’s blow. The Wahls did walk eight Post Five batters, but Mount Vernon only managed two more runs. The Owen Dunn Post Five squad turned the tables on their next foe, pounding Boonville 11-1 in eight innings on Wednesday. VanZant had four hits and mopped up for starting pitcher Drake McNamara in the bot-

tom of the eighth after McNamara pitched seven innings of four-hit baseball. The Mount Vernon hurler was tossing a no-hitter until Boonville’s only run of the game came on a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth inning. Mount Vernon had all but put the game away by then, striking for seven runs in the top of the fifth. Veeck, Clay Ford, Bryce Newman and Austin Krizan each had two hits, while Mount Vernon took advantage of four Boonville errors. On Thursday, Post Five hit the ball, but Funkhouser hit it even harder and the Evansville post took advantage of those blows and four Mount Vernon errors for a 14-7 victory at Stone Field in the Barker Avenue complex. Funkhouser banged out 17 hits of its own and broke things open with two big innings of its own, plating four runs in the bottom of the second and another five in the fourth to take control of the game. The Evansville post scored 12 runs in the second, third and fourth frames, chasing starter Ross Canada. VanZant once again swung a big stick with three hits. Seth Reeves also collected three blows, while McNamara, Newman and Jevin Redman each banged out two hits. •A game shortened by the 10-run rule? On a very hot summer day? Hey, why not? Post Five scored in all but two innings and got home runs from Ford and VanZant as they touted visiting Fairfield 12-2 in seven innings Sunday. Ford cleared the basses in the bottom of the first inning with a double and then put Post Five up 5-0 with a two-run homer in the bottom of the third. ‘’Good thing we had runners on base when Clay Ford came up,” McNamara said. “He must have been seeing the ball pretty good.” Ford was seeing the ball and making contact each time at the plate, McNamara explained, adding that other players were spraying the ball around. VanZant also hit the ball hard, greeting a Fairfield relief pitcher by taking him out of the yard with a solo homer to lead off the fifth inning. On the mound, Veeck pitched a solid game, scattering five hits while going the distance and nearly blanking the Illinoisans to clinch the run-rule victory. Two errors opened the door for Fairfield in the top of the seventh, with the second miscue allowing the team’s first run to score. Mount Vernon answered in the bottom of the seventh, loading the bases with nobody out and then ending the game with a basesladed walk and single by VanZant.

Babe Ruth regular season winds down, tourney begins

Members of the Poseyville Red and St. Wendel Babe Ruth baseball teams enjoy some conversation during a By Steve Joos The St. Wendel Babe Ruth League baseball team fell behind early Thursday night and never recovered, losing a make up game with visiting Haubstadt Legion 7-5. The loss dropped St. Wendel to 17-6 on the season and gave Legion a share of the regular season crown. Damon Cardin doubled and drove in three runs as St. Wendel tried to mount a comeback, but came up short in the bottom of the seventh inning. Josh Elpers singled, as did Josh Cook and Bryce Koester, whose single helped start a late rally. St. Wendel started its week by pounding Haubstadt Merchants 17-2 and then toppled North Posey Red on Wednesday 9-6. Against Merchants, Jacob McClain doubled and drove in

pitching change this week during a game between the teams at North Posey. Photo by Dave Pearce three runs, while collecting three hits. Cook and Jake Wenderoth each collected two hits, while Elpers, Cardin, Derek Lindauer, Noah Scheller and Joel Kelly each had one. Lindauer’s blow was a double. St. Wendel coach Gene Wildeman was pleased with the way his team has been playing over the last week. At North Posey, St. Wendel scored the first two runs of the game, but Red came back with five in the bottom of the first to open a 5-2 lead, only to have St. Wendel bat around in the top of the second and go up 6-5. They never looked back, taking advantage of 11 walks or hit batsmen allowed by Red pitching. St. Wendel drew three walks, while Cardin was hit by a pitch in the second, which were sandwiched around a single by Elpers and a double by Lindauer. St. Wendel tacked on some insurance runs in the

third and sixth innings. Lindauer doubled, while Elpers and Wildeman each singled. McClain had two hits, including a double. Cook collected three hits. Red coach Rob Voegel was pleased with some of the things his team did Wednesday, but felt that the pitchers could have done a better job of throwing strikes. He was pleased with the defense and felt that the team needed to hit better in some situations. Red had won three of its previous four games heading into Wednesday’s contest. Zach Stoneberger’s two-run double was the big blow in Red’s first-inning outburst. After the first inning, Red didn’t score again until the bottom of the sixth, when Conner Voegel singled, Bo Cox forced him at second and then the Red catcher took second on a wild pickoff try before coming around on a two-out single by Stoneberger. Red came into the week on a roll, winning three out of four, including recent wins over Owensville 9-4 and Haubstadt Merchants 13-6. “We played well,” Voegel said. “Zac Stoneberger pitched; he got back from a shoulder injury and pitched well, pitching the first three innings. Connor Voegel pitched the last four; I thought we did a lot better job throwing strikes. We still made some errors, but we’re playing better defense. We did a better job of putting the bat on the ball tonight.” Connor Voegel swung a strong stick in addition to his efforts on the mound with three hits, including a pair of doubles. Cox also collected three blows with a pair of doubles, while Grant Scheller had two hits. Stoneberger, Michael Sims, Dylan Rankin and Glen Alexander each had singles, while Ryan Daugherty doubled. Red jumped out to a big early lead and then Voegel started substituting, which allowed Merchants to get back into the game. At Owensville, Scheller went the distance, keeping the ball down and changing speeds in hurling just the second seveninning complete game turned in by Red pitchers this season. Cox had three hits, while Caleb O’Risky collected two, with Cox and O’Risky each collecting doubles. Dylan Rankin also had two hits, while Connor Voegel, Daugherty, Scheller, Christian Lebhart and Sims each singled.

Paris, Quinzer lead All-Area diamond team The baseball season came to a bitter end for the Mount Vernon Wildcats, who were an out away from winning their Class 3A Sectional, only to lose on a pair of seventhinning errors. Under those circumstances, this year’s AllSouthwestern Indiana team may give some minor consolation. Senior infielder Troy Paris was named the area Player of the Year by the Evansville Courier and Press, which released the team Sunday, while Wildcat mentor Paul Quinzer was the Coach of the Year. Paris, who plans to play college ball at Olney Central College next year, hit .521 with 50 hits in 96 at-bats for the Wildcats this season. He collected 23 extra base hits and drove in 32 runs while helping the Cats to a schoolrecord 24-7 won-loss record this season. Not only that, but the senior infielder only struck out once this season and only whiffed twice in his high school career, hitting .531 with no strikeouts as a junior. Paris credited Quinzer with helping him work on his hitting as a high school player. In addition to the top area player honors, Paris was the Indiana Baseball Coaches Association’s District III Player of the Year and will compete in the North-South All-Star game later this summer. Quinzer also praised Paris on-field leader-

ship skills and work ethic, adding that following his example will make this year’s junior contingent a better team next year. Paris and Quinzer weren’t the only Posey County representatives on the All-Area squad. North Posey infielder Jared Meliff, who hit .434 and stole 40 of 42 bases in helping the Vikings to a 20-9 season, was selected for the team. North Posey coach Kevin Smith called Meliff the team’s best offensive player and added that he his speed may put him in the outfield or second base when he continues his baseball career next season at Vincennes University. Jasper and Heritage Hills each had two picks on the team. Catcher Trent Simpson (a .330 batting average) and pitcher Jake Fella (6-3, a 2.18 earned run average) represent the Rebels, while outfielder Dane Geisler (.346) and pitcher Nick Gobert (9-1, 1.18) made the team from Jasper. Jared Lauer of South Spencer (.469) and Dane Seibert of Tell City (.429) were the other infielders, while Washington’s Jallen Hyde (.485) and Ben Weyer of Forest Park (.373) complete the outfield. Jesse Forbey of Boonville (.438) is the AllArea designated hitter, while Kyle Seger of Southridge (6-3, 2.55) was the third pitcher.

Entire Community Encouraged to Lap the “Miles for MV Athletics” By Pam Robinson When a proud Mount Vernon High School, or MVHS, alumnus is matched with a good corporate citizen, the result is an inaugural fundraiser, “Miles for MV Athletics.” Event coordinator Jace Redman, a 2005 MVHS graduate, explains that the event marks off a quadrant of Mount Vernon for a 2-mile and 4-mile run/walk to benefit both the Mount Vernon junior and senior high athletic programs. Event sponsor Expressway Auto Mall has promised to donate $10 for each participant in the Saturday, July 21, 2012 race, which starts at 7:15 a.m. The race will start and end on the MVHS track, located at 700 Harriett Street. Registration fees for the race are very reasonable. Kids 4 and

under race free. Students pay $10 and adults pay $15. Families of three or more may sign up for $30. All participants registered by July 9 will receive a highquality t-shirt. Some t-shirts will be available the day of the race while supplies last. “We’re really hoping to make this a family event,” commented Jace Redman in a telephone interview last Wednesday from Florida. “We’re including all ages, from the little guys all the way up.” Medals will be given to the top three finishers in each of the three age group categories—0-18, 1950 and over 50—for both the 2-mile and 4-mile races. Tri-State Trophies is donating trophies for the top male and female finisher of the four-mile race.

Anyone may register at www. MilesforMV.com, at the high school athletic website, at the school district website or on site the day of the event. Active in running the Evansville circuit, 25-year-old Jace Redman wanted to plan a race in his own community, specifically to benefit Mount Vernon athletics. Expressway Auto Mall wanted to sponsor a community fundraiser. When Redman approached Expressway asking for their help, he walked away “very excited” about the level of support the company offered. All the plans have come together just since May. During his phone interview, Redman spoke about his concern for aging junior high and high school athletic warm-ups and

equipment. He noted, for example, that the men’s tennis warmups were the same ones used when he played tennis at the high school. The junior high and high school athletic departments have money in their budgets to rotate uniforms every three to five years, but warm-ups are considered extras—a want, not a need. Other extras are end-of-period lights for basketball goals although most area high schools are equipped with these lights now. The lights cost $1,500 plus installation. MVHS Athletic Director Gary Redman is pleased his son Jace has initiated the first fundraiser of its type for Mount Vernon athletics. He hopes the community turns out and makes the race a success so it will continue as an

annual event. Athletic Director Redman is encouraging additional businesses to sponsor the event and make it a special day in the community. He says they might offer, for example, a small token gift, such as an ice cream cone, or coupons to event participants who bring in their race bib. He also comments that the race is open to those just wanting to enjoy a good walk or jog without entering into the competition. “Competing is just a small part of this race,” he insists. “It’s really a way to get exercise and have some fun.” Volunteers are still needed for the race and may get involved by contacting Event Coordinator Jace Redman at MilesforMV@ gmail.com.

Some helpful tips for newcomers to the game of golf Special to the news Few hobbies can be as enjoyable one moment and as frustrating the next as golf. Golfers know a great putt can be quickly followed by a bad tee shot, and maintaining their composure through the highs and lows of the game is a key to success on the links. Maintaining that composure isn’t always easy, even for the professionals. It’s even more difficult for beginners, who quickly learn the game of golf involves more than just spending sunny weekend afternoons on pristine golf courses. In fact, golf can be quite demanding, and beginners would be wise to heed a few tips before hitting the course.

• Don’t commit to an expensive set of clubs right off the bat. Golf clubs can be very expensive, so beginners should buy an affordable secondhand set of clubs so they can get the hang of what they like before spending a lot of money. Visit a pro shop and explain that you are just a beginner. The shop will likely make some valuable suggestions and might even let you try out a pair of clubs. In addition, many driving ranges allow customers to rent clubs, and this can be a great and inexpensive way to find the right clubs for you. • Take lessons. Even the

MAP, Silver Bell keep rolling The top two teams in the St. Wendel Friday night softball league kept up their winning ways last week. The Silver Bell rang the bell of Multiple Scoregasms 16-3, while MAP Oil man-

handled Sandy’s Pizza 12-3 to stay in the thick of the fight for the regular season title. DT’s took care of business in the other game, outslugging Hoehn Plastics 22-14.

Cudas seventh at Olney The Brittlebank age-group swim did about as well as could be expected at Saturday’s Olney Invitational swim your own age group swim meet, according to pool manager Ruth Fulwider. At least they did under the circumstances. The Barracudas finished seventh in the 14-team meet,

which had swimmers competing against those of their own age, rather than in an age group such as 9- and 10-year-olds. Four swimmers were high point finishers in their respective age groups, including Hannah Cross, Emily Hueftle, Nicholas Loehr and Maiya Courey.

very best at self-teaching might find it extremely difficult to become a self-taught golfer. When first trying your hand at golf, take some lessons and don’t expect to be playing 18 holes any time soon. Before hitting the course, where you might be discouraged and you might frustrate those golfing behind you, learn the fundamentals by taking a few lessons at the driving range. Learn from a professional, who won’t offer you any hidden secrets to golfing glory (there aren’t any) but will offer sound advice on the game’s fundamentals. • Take the game home with you. Beginners can even take advantage of golf’s vast popularity by taking the game home with them. This doesn’t mean building a putting green in your

backyard. Rather, purchase some instructional DVDs to learn the game during your down time throughout the week. Many golfers don’t have time to hit the links during the week, but they do have time to watch some DVDs when they get home from work. Such instructional DVDs can help you master your grip and stance, which you can then take with you to the course over the weekend. • Have fun. Golf is a fun game; it just takes time to hone your skills. But even if you aren’t ready for the professional tour after your first few rounds, you can still have fun. Don’t let some beginner’s frustration, which every golfer experiences, ruin the fun of the game. Take note of your surroundings when you hit the links,

and appreciate the time you’re spending with your group. If the game becomes more a source of frustration than fun, then take a break and put in some more work away from the course, be it at the driving range or studying at home.

Did you know? According to the National Association of Independent Schools, an organization that represents approximately 1,400 independent schools and associations in the United States, the median cost of elementary school tuition at member day schools for the 2011-2012 school year was $17,669. The median tuition at boarding schools for students of the same age was not significantly higher. Parents who sent their youngsters to such boarding schools paid an average of $19,491. Parents of high school-aged children paid, on average, roughly $22,000 per year for their child to attend an independent day school in 201112, while the average tuition for a boarding school for high school-aged children was $25,975 per year. Such were the findings of the NAIS’ annual Independent School Facts report, which included responses from 1,101 NAIS members. Despite the high tuition, more than half a million students were enrolled at the various schools that responded to the NAIS survey.

Junior Legion team strives to win, struggles Mount Vernon scored two runs in the bottom of the thirds inning and then T.J. Silvers held Heritage Hills at bay despite giving up one run in the top of the sixth. In the second game, Heritage Hills took an early 6-0 lead and never looked back as they took advantage of some mistakes by Post Five. “We giave them five outs in the first inning,” Krizan said. “We got down early and that was it.” After Mount Vernon stretched the lead to 4-1, and that extra cushion came in handy when Heritage Hills plated two runs in the top of the seventh before Austin Krizan came on to nail down the win for Post Five, retiring the last batter with runners on first and third. Krizan had two hits, including a double in the sixth inning which led to the eventual winning run. Austin Montgomery also doubled. Austin Krizan drew the pitching assignment and took the loss. The twin bill was played in the late morning and early afternoon Saturday, as Heritage Hills had a team commitment in the afternoon which required them to play earlier in the day. Considering the weather conditions, the umpires probably didn’t mind. The Junior Legion had its moments Thursday, scoring five runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to all but erase a 7-0 Newburgh lead, but Junior Kamperman erupted for six runs in the top of the eighth to basically salt the game away. There again, that weak start was Mount Vernon’s

By STEVE JOOS When the Mount Vernon Junior American Legion baseball team gets good pitching, strong defense and productive atbats, they play well and when they don’t, well things don’t go as well. Especially when they fall behind early. That was the case last week as the Post Five Junior team lost three of five games and got into big holes each time. That was how the week started (with a doubleheader split with visiting Pate) and how it ended (a split in Saturday’s twinbill against visiting Heritage Hills). On Saturday, Mount Vernon scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning and hen held on to nip Heritage Hills 4-3, but couldn’t’ overcome an early deficit in the nightcap, falling 7-1. “We played pretty well in the first game,” coach Kevin Krizan said. “We didn’t get a lot of hits, but we had productive at-bats. We only had six hits, but we were able to get runners on base and get them around to score.”

undoing, as Newburgh scored three runs in the second and third frames enroute to a 9-0 bulge which put Mount Vernon behind the eight-ball before they had a chance to respond with a fire-run fifth. Cody Mobley had two hits, while Wyatt Dixon did a good job on the mound despite being roughed up in the later innings, Krizan said. The Junior Legion’s week started with a doubleheader split against Pate, with Mount Vernon winning the opener, 5-4 and then doing everything but pull out the second game, plating seven runs in the bottom of the seventh inning, only to come up a run short 12-11. Three runs in the bottom of the fifth were the big difference for Mount Vernon, which once again took advantage of two walks and three singles to push across three runs. Mobley doubled and scored the go-ahead run in the sixth, as once again Post Five needed some late heroics to hold off the Evansville post. In the second game, that slow start got to the Junior Legion again, as Pate struck early and built the 12-4 lead before a sevenrun comeback in the last of the seventh got the Junior Legion close, but not enough to get them over the top.

John and Shellie Hendricks help to put the smile in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smile Cityâ&#x20AC;?

JJohn h and d Shellie Sh lli HenH dricks help to put the smile in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smile Cityâ&#x20AC;? Nearly 20 years ago, John and Shellie Hendricks were excited to move their family from Omaha, Illinois, to Mount Vernon with Babcock & Wilcox. They were happy to find a happy median between rural life in Omaha (pop. 300) and city life in Chicago and South Bend, Indiana, where John and Shellie grew up, respectively.

T Today, d th the H Hendrickses di k still speak with enthusiasm about their life here. They have appreciated the educational opportunities for their two daughters, the hospitality of St. Matthew parish and the compassion of the community for their neighbors. In return, they have helped to put the smile in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smile City.â&#x20AC;? Products of St. Matthew School, Lauren (20) and Kristin (24) both graduated with hon-

ors from f Mount M t V Vernon High School. A college junior now, Lauren follows in her sister Kristinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footsteps at Murray State University. Murray graduate Kristin teaches kindergarten in Hopkinsville, Ky. She has enjoyed newlywed life since just this past March 31 with her husband Tom Haley. As members of St. Matthew, the Hendrickses have worked to help others in the parish know the kind of love and support

theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve th â&#x20AC;&#x2122; received i d th there. John has served as a lector and Eucharistic minister and for three years as chair of the Spiritual Life and Worship Committee while Shellie has served on the Parish Life Committee (the welcoming arm of the church). As a couple, John and Shellie have led and completed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why Catholicâ&#x20AC;? study series in the past four years by hosting small groups at St. Matthewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thomas Merton Cen-

ter. t Likewise, Lik i they th have h shared the joy of participating in Parishioners Are Linked with Students, or PALS, at St. Matthew School. John has supported the first grade class and Shellie the fourth grade with time and talent. The Hendricksesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rewards are the reciprocal hugs and prayers of the students. The Hendrickses consider St. Matthew parish members their extended family. The couple has contributed to their neighbors outside the Catholic faith as well. For four years, John has worked with special needs children brought to Riding Hope (St. Philip) for therapeutic horseback riding. Likewise, Shellie loads the carts of families shopping at the Mount Vernon Food Pantry on Wednesday mornings as well as volunteers at the Posey Humane Society. She also teams with her coworkers at Expressway Ford to collect donations for a local charity each month. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve donated, for example, to At the Cross Mission, the Humane Society, the Mount Vernon Food Pantry and the Christmas Angel Tree program.

A Away ffrom her h desk d k att Expressway Ford, Shellie likes yard work, especially caring for flower beds. As for John, he often combines business with pleasure. A road bike enthusiast, he cannot talk without mentioning the third annual Ride to Remember, or R2R3, 160 miles from Terre Haute across to Richmond, to benefit Wishard Palliative Care. All teams participating in the Saturday, July 21, ride donate their entry fees to support those dying without family and friends. Those teams, including Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wishard Palliative Care Cycling Team, share the belief that no one should die alone. Considering John and his friends ride every Wednesday and Saturday morning, he is well-prepared to ride across Indiana. This past year, they logged over 4,000 miles. Of course, the activities of the entire family fall under the scrutiny of Leo, the true head of the household. A rescue cat, Leo automatically stepped into this role seven years ago. He realized the family merely stumbled through life until he appeared on the scene.

Krietemeyer sentenced to five years for role in theft of donated funds By Dave Pearce An Evansville man who was found guilty by jury last month was sentenced Tuesday afternoon in Posey County Superior Court. Kenneth Krietemeyer was sentenced to 60 months (five years) with two-and-a-half years in prison followed by two-and-a-half years on community correction, according to Posey County Deputy Prosecutor Jonathan Parkhurst. Krietemeyer was taken into custody after his Tuesday afternoon sentencing to begin serving his time.

Krietemeyer was charged with and found guilty by a jury trial of theft of funds which were raised to help the family of then 22-year-old Kendra Creek who lost portions of all four of her extremities as the result of Neisseria Bacterial Meningitis. Krietemeyer was charged with theft, a Class D felony. “We then filed for habitual offender charges, alleging two prior felony convictions,” Parkhurst said. “He was charged in the past with burglary, a Class D felony and Criminal Mischief, a Class C felony.”

“He then pled guilty to the judge on the habitual offender charge,” Parkhurst said. On May 1 of 2010, the North Posey High School graduate suffered from a severe headache at her job at a convenience mart at the corner of Interstate 64 and Highway 41 in Vanderburgh County. The next day, after she lost consciousness on the job, she was rushed to the Emergency Room at St. Mary’s Hospital and within hours had been diagnosed with Neisseria Bacterial Meningitis. The disease is generally deadly

and most don’t survive for more than 48 hours after diagnosis. Kendra had recently returned to the Posey County area after spending a few years near one of her grandparents in Colorado. She grew up in Cynthiana, the daughter of Mike and Angee (Catiller, NPHS Class of 1981) Creek. During a plea for funds, Krietemeyer was quoted as stating, ‘You always hear about murder, mayhem, and misery but you seldom hear about the good things that go on in a community. Posey County takes care of its own.”

Upon learning of the plight of Creek, fundraisers were started around the area with the contact people being Krietemeyer and Mary Gish. But things went south when the funds were found missing. Gish pled guilty to theft, a class D felony, said Posey County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Jonathan Parkhurst. She was sentenced on Oct. 11, 2011, in Posey Superior Court. Krietemeyer also was arrested at that time. According to police he allegedly took more than $3,500 from the account.
