Dad guilty of Valentine’s Day murder of infant son

By Dave Pearce It took a jury just about an hour on Friday to find Timothy Alexander “Alex” Lear, 25, guilty of murdering his 4-month-old son, Bryson James Clardy, in February of 2011.

Lear was also found guilty of the charge of neglect of a dependent resulting in death and battery on a child resulting in death, both Class A felonies.

According to testimony at the trial, 13 separate injuries were documented on the infant, including brain damage and bruises that medical experts had testified were from somebody holding and squeezing the baby tightly, as well as a bruise on his forehead, a fist-sized bruise on the stomach and a spiral frac-

ture of the arm, consistent with arm twisting.

Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers remained somber following the trial telling one reporter that the only satisfaction that comes from a situation such as this is “to hug the child’s mother and grandmother and let them know that justice will be served.”

A jury of seven women and five men served in the trial where jury selection began on Monday of this week in Posey Circuit Court.

According to Mount Vernon Police Chief Grant Beloat, on the evening of Feb. 14, 2011, at approximately 7:20 p.m., the Mount Vernon Police Department responded to Apt. No. 53 at Green

Valley Apartments on the north side of the town. Beloat said the Posey County EMS and the Mount Vernon Fire Department also responded to the call.

“The call was in response to the call that a four-month-old child who was not breathing and was unresponsive,” Beloat said. “The child received medical attention and was transported to Deaconess Hospital in Evansville at approximately 8:03 p.m. The child received medical attention at that facility and was then transferred to Deaconess Gateway Hospital in Warrick County where at approximately 11:45, the child was pronounced dead.”

Lear had been babysitting for his child and another three-year-old

child of the woman on the date of the death while the mother was at work. The other child had left the residence at some prior time that day.

Beloat continued that local officials had been working with the office of the Warrick County Coroner and former Mount Vernon resident Eddie Goff. An autopsy was conducted and it was determined that the cause of death was a homicide.

Goff indicated that the child had a fractured upper arm, brain swelling and multiple other bruises.

“Upon investigation, my deputies found that there was significant cause to perform an autopsy on this

By Valerie Werkmeister Posey County learned last week from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) that it has been designated as one of 36 counties throughout the state that has been declared a natural disaster area due to the drought. Posey County Commissioner Jim Alsop made the announcement during the July 17 commissioner's meeting.

According to a press release issued by the Indiana Farm Service Agency, (FSA) all qualified farm operators in the designated areas are elgibile for low interest emergency loans from the FSA. Farmers have eight months from the date of the declaration to apply for loans to help cover part of their actual losses caused by the drought.

The FSA will consider each loan application on its own merits, taking into account the extent of the losses, security available and replayment ability. There are also a variety of other programs that may help eligible farmers to recover from adversity.

"The Summer of 2012 will not be long forgotten by those producers and their families that were negatively impacted by severe dry weather. USDA is here to assist," said Julia A. Wickard, State Executive Director of USDA's Farm Service Agency in Indiana.

Mount Vernon ISTEP scores bring mixed reviews

By Pam Robinson Jody Pfister, Director of Curriculum and Instruction for the MSD of Mount Vernon, provided an overview of ISTEP, ECA and IREAD district test scores at the Monday, July 16, meeting of the Mount Vernon School Board.

ISTEP evaluates 3rd through 8th graders in mathematics and English and language arts as well as science (in grades 4 and 6) and social studies (in grades 5 and 7); ECA evaluates the Algebra I and English 10 skills of high school sophomores; IREAD, a new test this year for 3rd graders, evaluates their reading readiness. Third graders must pass the IREAD exam before they can advance to 4th grade. Pfister noted cause for celebration and room for

improvement in the school district.

Marrs Elementary School has, perhaps, the most reason to celebrate. As Pfister highlighted, Marrs has ranked 13th in the state on ISTEP out of over 1500 schools in Indiana. In addition, 97.8 percent of the school district’s third graders passed the IREAD exam, or 133 out of 136 students.

On the other hand, West fell below the state average in English and language arts. To help students improve, Pfister said that teachers would set goals and strategies to raise scores in English and language arts and that a curriculum coach has been hired for West through Title I grant funding to target English and language arts instruction. In addition, another special education

teacher assistant has been hired for West.

Pfister drew attention to better serving special education students with testing known as IMAST. “Special education students have the ability to take an alternate test called IMAST when they take ISTEP,” she explained. “At West, I think we underserved our special education population. We need to look again at our special education students and see if in our conferences with parents, we can suggest they take an IMAST test if it’s the child’s best interest. West has a very low number taking IMAST, especially considering the enrollment numbers.”

Pfister stressed that passing an IMAST test carries the same weight

The Foundation’s board of directors reviewed grant applications at its annual meeting and approved the following awards: Children’s Center for Dance Education, $2,500, to present the Nutcracker and The Color of Mozart in New Harmony; Dulcimer Chautauqua on the Wabash, $4,000, plus an in-kind donation for the group’s annual conference in New Harmony; Family Matters of Posey County, $500, to sustain its program; Hoosier Salon Patrons Association, $1,000, for the Children’s Outreach Program of the Hoosier Salon New Harmony Gallery; Indiana State Museums and Historic Sites, $15,000, to upgrade stage at Thrall’s Opera House;

as passing an ISTEP test. Students taking IMAST must demonstrate competency in knowledge areas the same as students taking ISTEP. The difference lies in test material presentation. Students taking IMAST may choose, for example, from three possible answers on multiple choice questions whereas students taking ISTEP choose from four possible answers. Likewise, instructions may be simplified on an IMAST test.

Pfister pointed out that when scores disappoint, the school district “rallies the troops,” and the public can expect to see a significant gain in scores the next testing period.

“Anytime you are dealing with the death of anyone, you always know there is a family behind that death and it breaks one’s heart,” Goff said at the time. “But when you are dealing with a fourmonth-old child, it tears at you emotionally. It is hard for myself, as the coroner, and my deputies. But we have a job to do and we are doing that thoroughly and working seamlessly with the law enforcement community in Posey County.”

Investigators questioned Lear, the baby’s biological father. He was subsequently charged with murder and neglect of a child resulting in death, a Class A Felony, and battery resulting in the death of a child, also a Class A Felony.

“The father did call in, called 911, and reported that the child was coughing and not breathing and requested medical assistance,” Beloat said.

Beloat confirmed that Lear does have a prior criminal history, but that there had never been a call involving this child. He indicated that Lear had been at home with the child since the mother had left for work at around

noon.

Lear was arrested subsequently arrested and formally charged with murder, neglect of a dependent resulting in death and battery resulting in the death of four-month-old Bryson Clardy.

Local attorney William Gooden was appointed to represent Lear.

Gooden says he believes his client has a history of serious mental health problems.

In the four years preceding his arrest on murder charges, Lear has had a half dozen protective orders filed against him. He also has spent time in the Vanderburgh County Jail for battery, confinement and intimidation.

An appeal will be filed on Lear’s hehalf.

Heat taking a toll on seniors, keep close eye

By Home Instead Senior Care Nobody likes extreme and prolonged heat, but such conditions can be deadly for older adults. That’s why senior care experts are encouraging families to take extra precautions to protect their aging loved ones during summer heat waves.

Older adults are often among the most vulnerable to severe heat. Their bodies do not adjust to sudden changes in temperature, they are more likely to have a chronic medical condition that changes normal body responses to heat and they are often on a prescription medicine that impairs the body's ability to regulate its temperature or that inhibits perspiration.

Following are tips from Home Instead Senior Care® office to help seniors combat the heat: • Keep a glass of water in every room to quickly and

easily access fluids. Drink plenty of fluids, even if you don’t feel thirsty.

• Wear short sleeves, lightweight rayons or cottons, and light-colored clothing that reflect the heat.

• Stay out of the sun during the hottest times of the day. Sunburn makes the job of heat dissipation that much more difficult.

• Save household chores, particularly washing and drying clothes and operating the dishwasher, for evenings, when the weather is cooler.

• Take a nap during high heat times – between 3 and 5 p.m. in the afternoon – or find a good television program or movie to watch.

• Keep the shades down and blinds pulled. Keeping a house tightly closed is more energy efficient.

• If you don’t have an air conditioner, or if yours is broken, spend the afternoon at the mall or another air con-

ditioned location.

• Put away that meat loaf recipe for the summer and track down new recipes for fruit and vegetable salads.

Foods like proteins that increase metabolic heat production also increase water loss.

• If increased use of a central air conditioning system causes higher utility bills that are a problem for your budget, consider purchasing a fan or small window unit that can cool down a home at a lower cost. In fact, window fans provide an effective way to exhaust the day’s hot air during the night.

For more information about the heat, visit the National Weather Service Web site at http://www.noaa.gov and the Federal Emergency Management Agency Web site at www.fema.gov. Or, to learn more about Home Instead Senior Care, log on to www.homeinstead.com

Adam Farrar announced they are currently working on an ordinance draft that will require licensure for construction contractors.

They have contacted Vanderburgh County and discovered they use Ivy Tech as a means to facilitate testing for the licensure process.

This will be a costly venture for Posey County to administer on its own and they are discussing a possible opportunity to collaborate with Vanderburgh County. They will update the commissioners on their progress in upcoming meetings.

Farrar informed the commissioners that he is working on a emergency service response mutual aid agreement with the City of Grayville in Illinois. The agreement includes payment to Posey County of $150 per response.

He felt he would have a draft ready for review at the next commissioner's meeting in August.

Kevin Steeley of Banning Engineering delivered a status update on work at Levee Unit 5. He stated that Division 1 has been completed and there were a total of three change orders, which have already been approved by the commissioners. A fourth change order is pending, however they are trying to resolve that with the contractor.There were no change

orders with Division 2, which has also been completed. Work on Division 3 just recently began.

None of the cost of the scope of work being completed on the levee is coming from Posey County coffers. They are merely the facilitating entity for the purpose of the grant that was secured to fund the project.

A consolidated county zoning agreement is nearly complete after a year of review, according to Mindy Bourne of the Area Plan Commission. She stated the agreement will provide a cohesive and comprehensive plan that will be used throughout the county instead of each city having its own set of rules.

New Harmony and Griffin are the only two towns in the county that will be excluded from the plan. New Harmony has its own plan commission and there is no zoning in Griffin.

In other business, the commissioners approved: An additional six-month lease for the Community Corrections program office space.

The next commissioner's meeting will be Tuesday, August 7, at 9 a.m. in the Hovey House.

By Lois Mittino Gray New Harmony Theatre’s “Pete’N’Keely” took me back to a time long ago where I was freshly bathed in my new yellow mandarin pajamas at grandma’s house ready to watch “Hollywood Palace” on tv for our swingin’ Saturday night.

That’s long, long ago….

New Harmony Theatre veteran Steve Small opened the production announcing the Pete’N’Keely Reunion Television Show “is brought to you by Swell Shampoo, the shampoo that puts the oooh in shampoo” and the fun began. As Marty, the boom-voiced announcer, the local entertainer made us feel right on the set of the 1968 televised reunion of Pete and Keely, America’s singing sweethearts from the 1950’s.

The problem is the duo are now divorced and dealing with their emotions over the split in this final offering of the 2012 Silver Anniversary 25th Season of the New Harmony Theatre. It is a delightful musical, written by James Hindman, Patrick S. Brady, and Mark Waldrop and features many recognizable songs, such as ”Secret Love” and “Georgia on My Mind”.

The set is a television studio with a television monitor showing the NBC Peacock spreading its wings as Marty announces “Bonanza will return at its same time next week” Countdown 5,4,3,2,1 , the applause sign goes on, the lights go up and the perky couple come out to begin their televised special. They announce it will be a musical homage to moments that got us where we are today. “Divorced”, Keely adds dryly.

The television monitor flashes baby pictures of the pair as the musical journey begins. Kirsti Carnahan is terrific as Keely and she starts the ball rolling as Little Miss Cowchip in Kansas who came in second on the Ted Mack Amateur Hour. She meets Pete who is singing “Besame Mucho” in the family’s Italian restaurant and this becomes the “Start of Something Big”. Best selling albums, Carnegie Hall appearances, the cover of Life Magazine all add up to fame for “America’s Sweethearts”, ala Steve and Edie.

One of the outstanding numbers is a review of their whirl-

wind crosscountry tour doing 64 cities in 47 weeks. As vintage postcards flash on the monitor, the pair sing snippets in a medley to all the locations from “Shufflin off to Buffalo” to “Oklahoma”. They also star in a Broadway musical “Tony and Cleo” and they shine as they sing and dance as the ancient Egyptian lovers.

The upbeat musical turns poignant as they go to the period when they “fly solo” and do their own thing. Pete, wonderfully portrayed by Paul Binotto, sings a hot “Fever” rendition to his very young “special someone” in the audience as Keely seethes. Keely counters with a torch song of her own.

Both made solo albums. Pete’s is “Other Fish in the Sea” and Keely’s “A Go Go”. The problem is no one bought the recordings as the pair spirals downward to nowheresville.

During commercial breaks, the still-in-love singers wisecrack to each other and barbs fly cruelly over weight gain, hair loss and drinking too much. There is irony in their final album, Merry Christmas music called “On Thin Ice”. By the finale, the couple realize what they have gone through as the television special ends with “That’s All” and sweet possibilities.

Former NHT Artistic Director Scott LaFeber returned to direct this offering and work with old friends again. Veteran costume designer Shan Jensen had wowser costumes for Keely from purple shoes to a teal twist dress. I especially loved the Egyptian costumes! Lighting is by Eric Cope, and sound by Jonathan Lee. The stage designed by Ron Naversen made me feel right in the tv studio. Musical Director Kenney M. Green and his combo were terrific and together. .Pete’N’Keely will run at the Murphy Auditorium until Sunday, August 5. Total time is One hour and 45 minutes including one intermission. Remember that the auditorium can get quite cool without a sweater.

Curtain times are 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights and 2 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. Ticket prices are $29 adult, $27 seniors, and $12 for age 24 years and under. Groups of 20 or more qualify for special rates.

Vegetable preservation workshop July 31

Register today for 5K Walk/Run planned for August 4

The Posey County Extension Office is offering you an opportunity for some “hands on” experience with preserving vegetables. July 31, 2012, Jane

By Pam Robinson Mount Vernon High School senior Cally Schisler challenges area residents to turn out for the inaugural “Run Your Tail Off” 5K Walk/Run on Saturday, August 4, 9 a.m., at Harmonie State Park, 3451 Harmonie State Park Road. All proceeds will benefit the Posey Humane Society, or PHS, and keep tails waggin’ at the shelter.

A cross country runner, 17-year-old Schisler volunteered all last summer for PHS. This year, a full-time summer job has prevented her from volunteering. The animal lover still wanted to help PHS and to channel her talents into fundraising.

The “Run Your Tail Off” 5K Walk/Run is the first event of its kind to benefit PHS. “I’ve run cross country for the past three years,” Schisler comments. “Running 3.1 miles, or 5K, is standard in cross country.

So I decided to take my sport and put it into a fundraiser.”

The $15 per person registration fee includes a t-

Jett, Extension Educator, will be conducting a workshop on preserving vegetables at the Posey County Community Center. The cost is $5 and will begin at

1:30 p.m.. A second session will be repeated that evening at 6:00 PM. Call the Extension Office, 8381331, by July 24 to reserve your spot.

Registration forms are also available at the PHS shelter, 6500 Leonard Road N, Mount Vernon. Sign in as well as late registration is 8:30 a.m. on race day. Late registration will cost $18 per person.

Medals will be awarded to first, second and third place runners immediately following the race. Nonetheless, Schisler encourages walkers to sign up for the

event and enjoy the natural beauty at Harmonie State Park while supporting a good cause. The park’s $5 gate entrance fee will be waived for all participants accepting the challenge of the “Run Your Tail Off” 5K Walk/Run. Schisler has already run her tail off to coordinate the event. She says it required more thought and time than she had imagined. In any case, Schisler has met the challenge with the same enthusiasm and energy she has devoted not only to her cross country team, but also to such high school organizations as National Honor Society, DECA, Key Club and Student Council.

She says that her whole family loves animals, so her parents, John Schisler and Janine Aldridge, along with more family members are 100 percent behind her efforts. Her aunt, Lori Choquette, is donating, for example, bottled water for the event.

“Well,” he said, “I could have told you that.”

Sadly she asked, “But why didn’t you?”

We often neglect to tell those whom we love that we do indeed love them – that they are important to

us, that we care for them deeply and that they mean as much to us as life itself.

It is important that we speak and share our love with others. And if the love of God is in our hearts, then the love of God will be seen in our lives.

Zion-Lippe’s Project Notebook to help with supplies on Saturday

By Pam Robinson Posey County students can start back to school prepared, thanks to the generosity of community leaders sponsoring supply giveaways. Three organizations plan school supply giveaways and promise to turn away no Posey County student who expresses a need.

Zion Lippe United Church of Christ, 9000 Copperline Road in Mount Vernon, will kick off Project Notebook this Saturday afternoon, July 28, from 1-3 p.m. Families may call 812-985-2437 for directions to Zion Lippe.

The church has sponsored Project Notebook for the past eight years to distribute backpacks filled with supplies necessary for grades K-12. One backpack is handed out to each student. No preschool or college supplies are distributed. In addition, for the third straight year now, hairstylists have donated their time and talent to haircuts (no wash or style) for students arriving with clean hair.

According to Project Notebook Committee member Irma Donner, Zion Lippe is preparing for 250 Posey County students this

year. Immanuel United Church of Christ and the Elks Club have helped with funding the project. Last year, Donner says, 234 students came out with their parents for the backpacks, and more than 40 of them received free haircuts.

Students will need to provide their name and address, their school name and their grade. The list of names will be shared with Family Matters of Posey County to guard against duplication of services a week later when Hedges hosts another giveaway of backpacks filled with supplies for grades K-12.

SABIC and Warehouse Services, Inc., or WSI, are funding this backpack giveaway scheduled for Monday, August 6, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Tuesday, August 7, from 1 to 6 p.m. Beth Russell, Executive Director of Family Matters, says her organization will coordinate the giveaway for Posey County students, and encourages families to call 812-838-6875 to set up an appointment so they can move more quickly through the line on Monday and Tuesday.

Russell notes that the backpacks will be distributed from the Parks and Recreation Community Center at Hedges Central, Entrance #10, in the alley off Eighth Street.

Students must be accompanied by their parents, and parents must provide proof of ID as well as proof of address in Posey County (i.e., utility bill, bank statement).

Again, each Posey County student should receive only one backpack. Families are reminded to go to only one backpack giveaway,

either at Zion Lippe UCC or at Hedges.

New Harmonie Healthcare, 251 Highway 66 in New Harmony, will be putting on its own Back to School Carnival and School Supply Giveaway on Friday, August 10, from 1 to 3 p.m. Any Posey County student may pick up the following supplies: folders, notebooks, crayons, glue, pencils, erasers and rulers. No backpacks will be distributed.

Refreshing sno-cones and popcorn will be served.

St. Peter’s UMC VBS to start July 29 St. Peter’s UnitedMethodistChurch Invites Children to Panda Mania Vacation Bible School: Where God Is Wild About You! A summer kids’ event called PandaMania will be hosted at St. Peter’s United Methodist Church from Sunday, July 29 to Wednesday, August 1. Kids explore a bamboo forest filled with

crazy pandas, as they discover that God loves us.

Kids participate in memorable Bible-learning activities, sing catchy songs, play teamwork-building games, dig into yummy treats, experience electrifying Bible adventures, and create Bible Point crafts they’ll take home and play with all summer long. Plus, kids will

learn to look for evidence of God all around them through something called God Sightings.

PandaMania is for kids from pre-school are to 5th grade and there will be a light supper served at 5:30 with the adventure beginning at 6 p.m. and ending at 8 p.m. each day. For more information, call 812-985-3751.

isters that same body to you by mouth as the pastor gives you the bread of the sacrament. It is Jesus who shed His blood on the cross for the forgiveness of your sins and administers that same blood to you by mouth as the pastor gives you the wine of the sacrament.

Think about it: God, in the flesh, His baptism on your skin, His absolution

and preaching in your ears, and His true body and blood in your mouth - His gifts for you. The ruler of this and every other universe loves you and wants to give His Divine Service to you. He wants to give you the gifts of forgiveness, life and salvation that He earned for you on the cross.

He has opened up heaven for you with His resurrection. He promised his presence to you

with His ascension. He gives all these things to us just as He gave bread and fish to the crowds out in the middle of nowhere. He sends His servants to bring His service to you. He invites you to come into His presence to receive these gifts, to hear that you have been forgiven of all your sins, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Sermon of the Week Rev. Sean Esterline, Messiah Lutheran Church Today's Gospel tells us: When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. The Greek uses a special word here that means that Jesus had a deep, powerful compassion for these people - a compassion that came from the depths of His inner being. As the Good Shepherd, He saw them as sheep without a shepherd - helpless and lost, and He began to care for their souls with His teachings.

In fact, the crowds were so intent on Jesus' teaching that they forgot that they were out in the middle of nowhere without food. Their desire to be with Jesus and receive His gifts had caused them to forget about planning for their physical hunger. The disciples, on the other hand, were very aware of the resources they needed to feed these people. Because they were out in the middle of nowhere, such a crowd of people would overwhelm any local resources such as the nearby farms and villages. Think about the effort it takes to feed a chicken noodle supper to six hundred people. Then multiply that number by about ten. Then remember that the disciples are walking and the only things they have for carrying food are things baskets about the size of an average picnic basket. So even if they had enough money to buy supplies, it would still be a logistical nightmare to bring all those supplies back to the crowd. This is an impossible situation.

Jesus then tested His disciples: "You give them something to eat." Now remember that these same disciples had

just returned from a mission where they cured the sick and exorcized demons. The right answer would have been something along the lines of, "OK Jesus, what did You have in mind?" Instead, the disciples began explaining why feeding all these people was impossible. Jesus then went ahead and showed that nothing will be impossible with God. He fed those crowds using the equivalent of five dinner rolls and a couple of sardines. When the meal was over, the leftovers alone were more than the original amount of food that they had to begin with. This miracle does more than show us the power of God. It also gives us a picture of the Holy Christian Church.

Jesus did not walk up to every person and hand them their fish sandwich one at a time. Instead, He gave the food to His disciples to give to the people. This is the way the Lord does things. He does the miracle and then distributes His gifts through His disciples. The feeding of the 5,000, and later on the feeding of the 4,000, provides a picture of Jesus' church in which His miraculous gifts are given by His pastors to us.

Jesus accomplished the miracle of our salvation by dying for our sins and rising again.

His apostles are sent into the world to preach that Good News. Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River, miraculously taking upon Himself our sins and their guilt. His preachers baptize to deliver that righteousness to us. Jesus miraculously faced a "guilty" verdict for our sins. His ministers deliver that "not guilty" verdict to you. Jesus offered Himself on the cross as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. His pas-

tors distribute that same flesh and blood of the Lamb of God for us to eat and drink. Jesus does the work. His disciples distribute the gifts to His people. Many people forget that.

Many people forget the true reason for going to church to meet Christ and receive His gifts. Instead, they go to church for entertainment - to keep Mom and Dad happy because it is an old habit or some sort of duty. From time to time, we all forget that we are here as God's guests and He deeply desires to serve us from the deep inner core of His being. We sometimes forget that it is called Divine Service because it is God's service to us. It might be helpful in this regard to remember that Judas was still among the disciples. He was along with the rest of the twelve who delivered the meal to the crowd.

Do you think that the fish and bread, the food that Judas distributed, was less wholesome than that distributed by the other disciples? Of course not! The fish and the bread were God's gift to the people in that place. Judas was just a waiter, as were the other disciples. The food came from Jesus.

It's the same in the Church today. The food comes from Jesus, the pastor is just the waiter. It is Jesus who prepares the meal. It is Jesus who was baptized in the Jordan and made water holy when it is administered with His word according to His command. It is Jesus who earned forgiveness for us and gives the words of forgiveness to the pastor to give to you. It is Jesus who gave His teachings to the prophets and apostles so that the pastor can give them to you. It is Jesus who gave up His body on the cross for you and admin-

New Harmony selects Schultheis to insure former school building

By Pam Robinson Schultheis Insurance representative Andy Weintraut presented New Harmony Town Council members with three options Thursday night for insuring the town property of New Harmony School: 1) $7 million of coverage with a $500 deductible at a cost of $13,731; 2) $2 million of coverage with a $1,000 at a cost of $10,400; or no coverage at all.

Council agreed the $7 million policy is well worth the premium and voted to acquire this amount of insurance, perhaps with a higher deductible. Weintraut said this policy will cover 80 percent of replacement cost for a new build and pays claims in full to the limit of the policy. Had the town opted for the $2 million policy, the plan covered actual cash value only and any losses would have been paid in full less a $1,000 deductible and minus depreciation.

Weintraut will also research the difference in cost for a $7 million policy with, for example, a $1,000 or $1,500 deductible. If the premium savings is significant, council members agreed they would consider a higher deductible.

In other business: • Business owner Jim Stinson reported to council on recent marketing activity to pro-

mote New Harmony with highway signage and Internet visibility.

• Council passed Ordinance 2012-8 establishing New Harmony School Building Fund in the chart of accounts.

• Council approved an increase in chat and sand prices: chat will now cost $35 per ton while sand will cost $25 per ton.

• New appointments to the Board of Zoning Appeals were announced: Jim Spann, Monteen Elliott and David Flanders.

• Parks Board President Jeanne Maudlin announced the Saturday, October 20, Arbor Day Celebration and Third Annual Chili Cook-Off. The Arbor Day Tree 2012 will be dedicated to Olin Davis during the celebration.

• Town President David Campbell announced the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns, or IACT, will host a town roundtable on Tuesday, July 31, 6:30 p.m., at New Harmony Inn Conference Center for officials in the region’s cities and towns.

• Council assured town residents that action is progressing in dealing with properties in violation of the town’s nuisance code.

The New Harmony Town Council will meet again Thursday, August 16, 5 p.m., in New Harmony Town Hall.

“Smoke” Chairman Ed Adams is hoping that this year’s event will be even bigger and better than last year’s and wants as many participants as possible to take advantage of the special early registration fee. Those who register for the River Days event by Friday, July 27, will get a special rate of $100; those registering after that date up to the final August 20 deadline will pay a $150 fee. “Smoke on the Ohio,” in its fourth year, has become a crowd favorite with visitors to Mt. Vernon River Days. The barbecue cookoff is back again in 2012 with as many as 25 teams “Smokin’ & Serving” on Water Street in Mount Vernon, just a few hundred yards from the “Beautiful Ohio.”

“The whole downtown area will be overcome by the sweet smoky aroma of slow cooked BBQ as these teams are competing for both cash and unique trophies; but, most of all, some will walk away knowing that they beat those that were up for the challenge,” Adams remarked.

Judging will be in three categories: ribs, chicken and pork butts. Judging results will be announced on the main stage on Saturday afternoon.

The teams are allowed to sell any type of barbecue to the public and are not limited to the three competition categories; teams in the past have sold slabs of ribs, half chickens, BBQ sandwiches, smoked pork chops...all of competition quality. Selling will take place on both Friday and Saturday, September 7 and 8.

They will not be selling on Sunday.

Adams may be reached via email at adamsed85@yahoo.com or by phone at 812838-0035. It is hoped that as many as 25 teams will be signed up by the August 20, 2012 deadline. Last year 16 teams competed.

Teams will move in on Thursday night, September 6 and be ready for competition and selling to the public by the time the River Days Festival opens at 11 a.m. on Friday, September 7.

“Smoke on the Ohio” is just one of the many events that will be taking place on Mt. Vernon’s Riverfront on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, September 7, 8, and 9.

Larry Williams is chairman of River Days this year. Kay Kilgore (483-2922) is chairman of Events and Entertainment, and Nancy Hoehn (499-4234) is chairman of Food Booths.

OPINION

Even ‘Smarter than a fifth grader’ has its limitations, restrictions Am I smarter than a fifth grader? Seriously? Are you really going to ask me if I am smarter yhan a fifth grader? Well, I refuse to answer that question, especially after Sun- TRUTH... day afternoon.

STRANGER For some time, I have THAN been making an effort to FICTION bring my wife into the lat- BY DAVE est century of technology. PEARCE It's not that she is not smart.

It is just that she has been content to use her cell phone for only the basics. She makes calls and texts a little...period. So on Sunday, we decided that we would get her a phone that she could do more than make calls and text.

We walked into the cellular phone store on the west side of Evansville and it seemed like we had moved ahead about 100 years, I felt like I was in an episode of "The Jetsons." But I wasn't as dumb as you might think. We had been out for a family outing and I was smart enough to bring my 7-year-old niece along with us when we went to shop for a phone.

While I have been moderately exposed to the latest generation of phones out of necessity, Connie is a self-described "simple girl." But I will survive either way.

Once inside the store, we were promptly greeted by a young man who appeared to be about 12. He proceeded to tell us everything we could do on all the variety of phones he was trying to sell. I fell for a little of it and we eventually picked out a medium-priced phone. He transferred all the stored numbers over from her old phone and showed her a few of the basics...and I do mean basics.

All of this excitement has come on

the heels of my wife's suggestion earlier this week that she might like to have an Ipad for her birthday. Earlier this week, I complied with her request and bought her an Ipad. I brought it home and sensed fear in her eyes. I wanted to get it out and see what we could do with it but she insisted that we wait until her birthday, Sept. 5. I know when I'm being put on and I know when I am being put off. I was definitely being put off.

But on Sunday, we got back into the car with the new phone and our 7-yearold niece immediately began showing my wife what she could do on the phone.

She showed her some of the more common "apps" she could get for the phone.

She proceeded to show her how she could plug the phone's charger into the USB port in the car console and could charge her phone while we were on our way home.

As we headed back toward Poseyville, my wife let the cat out of the bag to our niece that she had a new Ipad waiting at home. "I will show you how to use it, Aunt Connie," the 7-year-old's voice said assuredly.

Suddenly, my wife was ready to go home and open the Ipad and begin to see what she could do with it. I began working on the composition of this week's paper as Sydney and Connie remained in the living room looking at the new toys.

Set-up was a breeze, especially with Sydney at the helm. She had the Ipad up and running in no time flat. It wasn't but a few minutes until she had my wife checking Facebook from both her phone and

from her Ipad. I smiled as I watched Syd go into detail about "apps," "homepages" and "wireless connections."

It was amazing to watch as my wife became at least functional on her new technology items with the help of her 7-yearold niece.

But I watched with amazement as this little girl, who only a few minutes ago was "teacher" transformed back into a child and wanted to "play library" with the few real books that we still have in the house.

She asked her Aunt Connie to look at the books and pick out the ones she wanted to check out. When she was finished, Sydney would run her "card" through the imaginary machine to "pay" for the books.

It became apparent to me that I, indeed, am probably not smarter than a fifth grader in many areas. As a matter of fact, I would struggle to be smarter than a seven year old in some areas.

But if it comes right down to it, I'll bet she can't type 50 words a minute on an IBM manual typewriter. As a matter of fact, I doubt she has ever seen a typewrite, much less a manual one.So if she starts getting technical one me, I will just start talking about "carriage returns" or selling Cloverine salve. If this keeps up, I will tell her to get a No. 2 lead pencil out of her cigar box and write the entire alphabet in cursive. We'll see who's the smart one then.

When the student is ready, the teacher appears Countless times, life events have taught me the truth of this statement: “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.”

I’ve noticed I learn important lessons when my heart is open to understanding, “when the student is ready.” The teacher may appear in person, but often the teacher instructs me through the pages in a book. Recently, a close family member, my nephew Reg L. Carver, reached out to me through his new memoir, “Walking Up Lombard.”

As Reg explains, San Francisco’s Lombard Street winds and zigzags up a steep slope. The walk up drains even the most physically fit. Once at the top of the street, however, the walker beholds a beautiful vista spread out below. The walk up Lombard serves as a metaphor for Reg’s arduous life journey before he finds peace with his past and gratitude for his present.

His serenity is all the more remarkable given his poignant struggle with a diagnosis of major depression.

LIVING FOR THE JOURNEY

BY PAM ROBINSON

“Walking Up Lombard” is resonating with readers.

The book has met with great success since it hit the shelves of Barnes and Noble on June 27.

In less than a week, it ranked #42 in top 200 paperback biographies at Barnes and Noble. The next week, Barnes and Noble identified the book as one of the featured new arrivals among all the store’s biographies. (Available in hardback and paperback at Barnes and Noble, the book may also be downloaded on Kindle.)

Readers may continue their journey with Reg after

finishing his memoir, partly composed of entries from his two blogs. His kind, gentle spirit continues to spread its light at www.fromi2us.com and www.findmyowncurrent.com.

Reg is my new hero.

He offers hope to anyone dealing with mental health issues. He writes with courage and honesty about the hard work and grace that bring triumph to the distraught. In his own victory, he stands as a champion in helping to dispel at least some of the social stigma placed on those dealing with mental health issues.

Like Reg, I have struggled with major depression and with leading a balanced life for many years. In spite of treatment for the past 15 years since my diagnosis, I must work hard and count on grace to remain steady at home and at work, in prayer and at play. I need to take one day at a time and admit some days are

Gavel Gamut’s ‘La Dolce Davita’ Society’s building block is the family. To preserve our society one of our government’s primary missions is to help families maintain their welfare and independence. Sometimes this requires our government to intervene in a family’s life.

If such action becomes necessary by the Posey County Department of Family and Children, there are strict laws that protect the family from arbitrary action.

The constitutions of the United States and each state as well as federal and state legislation and court decisions make family unity the touchstone of Department intervention. If possible, considering the safety and welfare of children, the goal is to maintain the family unit.

One of the concerned and caring Department workers who performs these vital services for Posey County, and one who was somehow displaced from last week’s article, is Davita Hubbard.

Davita and the rest of our Posey County Department of Family and Children seek to aid families, not to disrupt them. The primary purpose is to ensure, if it can be done without harm to children,

that a family has the opportunity to make its own choices. Our government

GAVEL GAMUT

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE realizes we are a better and happier society if we can maintain family autonomy.

To aid families in need to do this the Department offers many reasonable services. Of course, budgets are shrinking and resources are scarce so there are limits to what the Department can do. But Davita and her co-workers work hard to deliver the services they have available. And just as when she was cheering for my son’s football team, it seems like only yesterday, Davita and her co-workers encourage families to succeed.

Some families are impacted by drug dependency both legal and illegal. Regular drug testing can help a parent break the cycle of drug abuse. Another frequent need is parenting skills. Being a parent is usually an on-the-job training

project and many of us can benefit from parenting aid.

Help with personal hygiene and housekeeping are other common areas where the department can assist a family. Recognition of medical problems both physical and mental and referrals to professionals sometimes arise.

And, transportation and educational assistance are common problems.

These and many other daily services are provided by the Department, but they are not provided in a vacuum. There is federal and state oversight of how reasonable and effective these services are and the manner in which they are delivered.

And the Department must seek court approval of its intervention in a family’s life.

There are strict guidelines and timelines that must be followed.

Unfortunately, even with the Department’s best efforts there are situations which services cannot cure.

Sometimes parents’ rights must give way to children’s safety and welfare. As a last resort the Department may ask the court to permanently sever family unity. Such difficult decisions will occupy us next week.

far better than others.

Just three years younger than I am, Reg holds out the promise of knowing more good days than bad days and of keeping the faith in good days even on the bad days. Anyone coping with depression will

lead the good life. I’ve always envied him. Now I admire him. He has the guts to be himself and to live an authentic life.

Perhaps one day, I can put my own story out there, and like Reg, can value the truth that sets one free.

Letters to the Editor Thank you, Posey County, for a Great Fair The Posey County 4-H Fair Board wants to thank our great community for the tremendous support of this year’s fair. Without the many generous volunteers and donations, our fair could not go on. We want to especially mention the following supporters: 1) Posey County 4-H Fair Board Association, Keck Gonnerman Association, and Keith Kuhn and Sons Excavating; 2) Posey County 4-H leaders, kids, and parents; 3) groups who worked at the gates: Expressway Auto, CGB, North Posey FFA, Posey County Saddle Club, Kiwanis and First Bank; 4) sponsors for each night at the fair: Wright Stemle, Juncker Brothers, Country Mark, ADM, CGB, Heritage Oil, J & L Farm Equipment; 5)

Posey County News and other media; 6) For those who sponsored the Military Night: Guilty Pleasures, The Laniary Shop and D & M Diner; 7) Sponsors for contestants in the Royalty Pageant: from friends and family members to Mount Vernon Pharmacy to United Bank plus many more!!!

We are proud of this year’s new offerings and participants as well: Derby City Amusement Rides, Jump O’Round inflatables, Kid Zone, food vendors and games, first-time performers at Homemade Jam #4 and Boy Scout Troop 397.

On Wednesday night, we had the Wolfgang Dixielanders performed as we honored our Veterans and Military.

In addition, we are fortunate to see so many new

items at the 4-H Fair. Jacob Zoch provided new flagpoles and lights in front of the Community Center for his Eagle Scout project; To help guests stay cool, the 4-H Fair Board Association purchased a cooling station that was used throughout the fair grounds. Moreover, outdoor showers were put up by the Main Arena on Thursday night for mud volleyball participants to wash off after their event.

We appreciate everyone who came out and enjoyed the 4-H Fair, and we look forward to an even bigger, better fair in 2013. Check out our website thru out the year for all information about the 4-H Fairgrounds: www.poseycountyfair.com and on Facebook!

Guest Column by State Rep Wendy McNamara Part 2. New Harmony Bridge Town Hall discussion In last week’s column, I detailed the discussion that occurred during a town hall meeting on what can be done to re-open New Harmony Bridge.

To recap a few things, the town hall followed a meeting I had with elected representatives from Indiana, Illinois, Posey County, White County and the federal government. At the meeting, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announced their offer to contribute $10 million toward a new bridge.

Below, I have outlined a few more discussion points brought up during the town hall.

Where would a new bridge be built?

There are several options under consideration, and ultimately the local ommunities and citizens will need to decide. The bridge could be built in the existing location or right next

agree the best action is to hunker down and hold on, for good days inevitably dawn after the darkness.

Most of all, I appreciate Reg’s disclosure of a family secret. A successful attorney in Atlanta, he appeared to me always to

to the current bridge. Some people have also mentioned building it south of the current bridge. This last option would be extremely cost prohibitive. It would mean new roads, new studies and new land acquisition.

A bridge built south of the current location is not a realistic or prudent path to take in my opinion and not the best use of taxpayer dollars.

What is the next step?

INDOT has delivered in writing to elected officials of Posey County the specifics of their proposed offer.

State Representative Reis from Illinois will also be following up with me on his discussions with officials from the State of Illinois.

Additionally, I am hopeful that our federal representatives may be able to help us secure some funding.

How long before a decision is made?

The offer of $10 million FEATURES EDITOR PAM ROBINSON WRITER / REPORTER VALERIE WERKMEISTER STAFF PHOTOGRAPHERS THE DAVE & TERRI KOCH FAMILY

from the State of Indiana is only good until the end of year. With the upcoming gubernatorial election in November, we have no guarantee that a new governor’s administration would continue to offer money for a new bridge. This means the remaining stakeholders need to work quickly to see what type of funding they can contribute.

Who would be responsible/liable if the current bridge collapsed under its own weight and fell into the river?

The bridge is currently owned by the White County Bridge Commission.

The Commission would be liable for any damage or cleanup that occurs.

I want to thank everyone who attended for your questions and input. Please contact me with any questions, comments or concerns you may have. Phone: 317-2329671; Email: H76@IN.gov BOOKKEEPING CONNIE PEARCE Pocobooks@aol.com

First ‘Miles’ For Athletics is a big hit in Mount Vernon There are many who will get up early in the morning and run or walk for exercise and fitness.

On Saturday, a number of local residents, including many Mount Vernon Metropolitan School District coaches, athletes and administrators, as well as visitors from outside the area, got up at 7:15 a.m. and ran or walked for exercise, fitness and to help the Mount Vernon High School athletic program.

The high school sponsored its first annual “Miles for MV Athletics” fundraiser, which included a two-mile and four-mile run-walk around the school grounds.

There were 119 runners, some hailing from such diverse places as Cincinnati and Gurnee, Ill., as well as Evansville and New Harmony, participating in the race, which benefited the Mount Vernon athletic department.

High school athletic director Gary Redman said that the races were broken down into three age groups (18 and under, 19-50 and 51 and older) with the groups divided into male and female divisions. Awards were presented to the top three runners in each division.

Angela Reckelhoff of Evansville was the top female four-mile runner, posting a time of 29:18.8, while Gene Mesker paced the men with a time of 23:50.6.

The top five female four-mile runners age 18 and under were Erica McCormick (39:51.5), Stefanie Bulla (41:48.9), Megan Randall (44:18..1), Jade Kopp (49:55.7) and Abby Randall (49:56.7).

The top five male runners under 18 were Micah Keller (28:58.7), Noah Keller (29:06.4), Luke Rusher (30:22.3), Hunter Brooks (30:32.5) and Wyatt Dixon (34:23.1).

Among the women age 19-50, the top five were Stephanie Schilling (32:12.0), Staci Reese (32:16.9), Mindy Dillow (32:34.7), Abby Mitchell (33:40.6) and Johanna Bredemeier (40:36.6).

The top five 19-50 men were Tim Searcy (28:52,2), Todd Slykuhis (28:58.7), Jason Marlowe (32:27.0), Rob Wood (33:08.8) and John Campbell (33:30.4).

In the 51 and up age group, the top five women were Karen York (41:47.8), Carol Moll (47:31.1), Regina Russell (48:12.5), Kim Keene (48:38.8) and Linda Hawley (49:34.4), while the top five men were Ken McDonald (24.23.3), Nick Fuelling (29:38.7), Gary Redman (36:43.6), Tom Kopatich (41:57.3) and Mike Van Cleve (42:42.9).

Toni Waddell posted a time of 12:42.1 to pace the female two-mile race, while Nathan Ellis was the top make with a time of 12:31.8.

The top five female runners age 18 and under were Mackenzie McClarney (14:23.3), Rachel Cash (14:26.4), Morgan Matthews (15:44.2), Maria Santow (16:22.2) and Jacey Ritzert (16;24.9).

The top five male runners under 18 in the two-mile run were Collin Knight (12:470), Levi Shannon (13;16.2), Cameron Maier (14:44.5), Drake McNamara (15:02.8) and Jevin Redman (15;16.9).

In the 19-50 female group, the top five were Laura Baggett (15:32.0), Cathy Schroeder (16:04.2) Cara Merrick (16:16.3), Shannon Perry (18:29.9) and Kelli Shoobridge (18:35.5).

Morgan Pepper paced the 19-50 men with a time of 12:49.2, followed by Eric Stemple (13:39.3), Jason Stemple (13:39.2), Shayan Shamsie (13:37.3) and Ryan Stemple (16:26.0).

Mount Vernon boys’ tennis coach Vicki Rueger led the 51 and older female runners with a time of 16:22.7, followed by Ann Stemple (18:07.5), Jessica Thompson (21:30.3), Sherry Willis (30:04.9) and Charlotte Johnston (32:13.1), while the top five male runners were Brian Allen (12:54.8), Loren Evans (29:37.9), Bobby Willis (32:37.1), 32:57.5) and Steve Schroeder (34:30.7).

One run on nine hits in 16 innings. That is enough to sum up what happened to the Mount Vernon American Legion baseball team in Friday’s Sectional action. It was a long day and a very short postseason for Post Five, especially at the plate.

One run and nine hits were all the offense Owen Dunn Post Five could manage in two games at the Harrison High School baseball field, as they were eliminated from Sectional play, dropping the first game to Newburgh 17-0 in seven innings and then falling to Pate 5-1 in the consolation bracket.

The game was pushed back a night after heavy thunderstorms tolled through Evansville Thursday, forcing the game’s suspension after the top of the third.

“Both teams we played, showed a little bit of respect,” Coach Danny McNamara said. “Newburgh threw their best pitcher at first and came back today with (Sam Coudret) and he’s pretty tough, too. Pate’s got three good pitchers and A.J. Bruner’s about their best, He’s a Division I pitcher next year and he was on his game tonight. We’re usually a pretty good hitting team, but they shut the door on us tonight. We couldn’t string together any hits.”

After Newburgh erupted for seven runs in the third inning and they piled up tallies in all but two frames enroute to their rampage over Mount Vernon and then Pate burned Post Five for another four early in the second game, Try Paris settled down a blanked the Evansville school over the course of his six inning stint

St. Wendel Tavern rallies twice to win third straight tourney title

By Steve Joos Ask not for whom the Silver Bell tolls.

It tolls for the other nine teams in the St. Wendel Tavern Tournament.

The St. Wendel tavern team rallied twice recently to capture its third straight St. Wendel tavern softball tournament title, beating K.C.’s Time Out Lounge 30-27 for the crown.

“It was a good victory,” player- manager Jim “Fathead” Elkins said. “I think we were the favorites coming in, but the team we played (Time Out Lounge) showed a lot of heart, they put a lot of pressure on us. In the last game, we had to do what we do best and that’s hit the ball out of the park.”

Down 20-16 entering the top of the sixth inning, the Silver Bell scored four runs with the bottom of the lineup at the plate, and they promptly took over, with Elkins and Ryan “Piglet” Smith driving in the go-ahead runs.

The Silver Bell added three more runs in the top of the seventh and then held off Time

Out in the bottom of the frame to clinch the win.

Sliver Bell reached the title game by outslugging Time Out 11-9 earlier Sunday.

“We were a bit flat,” Elkins said. “The Sunday morning blues, we (were) down one in the same situation (as Sunday’s second game). The bottom got to the top (of the lineup), and then the big boys took over. We were down one and got a home run to win the game.”

This was the Silver Bell’s 11th tap tourney title. The St. Wendel restaurant also has a team which plays in (and is currently leading) the St. Wendel Friday night softball league, but only four of those players participated over the weekend.

Elkins is in charge of putting the Tavern Tourney team together, calling them “a bunch of good friends who hang out together on top of being good softball players.”

The team consisted of co-most valuable players Elkins and Kevin Rader, as well as

Smith, Brandon Krohn, Todd Mazur, Mike Hall, Brock Lantz, Glenn Shane, Ryan “Pudge” Joyner, Brent Byrd, David “McLovin” Curl, third base coach Hog Bowen and Josh Bowen.

“We appreciate St. Wendel having us every year and the Silver Bell for sponsoring us,” he said. “We’ve already told them that we’re looking forward to coming back next year.”

On the first day of the tourney, Silver Bell smashed The Corner Pocket 28-2 and then rung out Hawg ‘N’ Sauce 27-9 in the nightcap to stay unbeaten heading into Sunday’s action.

The Time Out Lounge rolled over The Darmstadt Inn 28-12 in its first game and then outslugged the Lemasco tap 25-23 before its first meeting with The Silver Bell.

Time Out then eliminated Lemasco 20-15 in the consolation round for another rematch with the Silver Bell.

Lemasco was a 24-2 winner over the

Hornville Tap in its tourney opener, and then came back to oust Rounders 22-10 and Darmstadt 14-10 before getting a time out from the Time Out in the consolation finals.

Darmstadt outslugged T.J.’s Stockyard 16-6 in the second round and then eliminated Hornville 18-5. The Inn blanked the Hawg ‘N’ Sauce 15-0 before running into Lemasco on Sunday.

The Hornville Tap opened the doubleelimination tournament with a 9-8 win over Rounders (one of three 9-8 scores in the early going) Saturday morning. Rounders recovered to eliminate Leroy’s 15-5 and The Corner Pocket 9-7.

The Corner Pocket registered another one of those 9-8 decisions, this one over T.J.’s Stockyard, while Hawg ‘N’ Sauce had the other 9-8 score, beating Leroy’s in the first round.

The first round was pushed back when two inches of rain fell on the St. Wendel Athletic Club field.

Princeton rides Posey Connection to Legion Sectional crown

By Steve Joos Even though Mount Vernon has had an American Legion baseball program for almost 20 years, Posey County players have long had plenty of other options when it comes to summer ball.

Players from North Posey have traveled to Illinois (Carmi) and Evansville (Funkhouser) to play ball over the years.

And over the last few seasons, several have gone into Gibson County.

Six Posey County products are on local Legion rosters this season, with five of those contributing to a very strong Princeton Post 25 contingent.

Jared Meliff, K.D. Patton, Nick Scheller, Colton Martin and Tyler Stolz are Post 25’s “North Posey Connection,” and that North Posey contingent has played a big role for a very successful Princeton squad. “(The North Posey players) have helped us a great deal,” Princeton coach Jesse Simmons said. “When I started this program back four years ago, North Posey asked if they could be part of this and I said yes.”

Simmons said that Martin has done a good job in left field, while Meliff is one of the best second basemen he’s had. Scheller is also helping out as an infielder, while Stolz had contributed some good innings, as has Patton.

“Key players,” Simmons said. “K.D.’s been one of our good arms and so has Scheller. He’s going to be one of our starters come tournament time. Jared’s one of our top guys. He’s got 34 stolen bases on the year and hasn’t been thrown out. Scheller is hitting right around .500 for the year, so they’ve made great contributions.”

A second-year member of the Princeton Legion team, Patton will be playing at Vincennes University after a year at Southeastern Illinois.

“We just had a bunch of guys who have been playing here a little bit longer than I have and they just asked me,” Patton said. “They asked if me if I wanted to come over and play for them.”

Scheller and Patton are just a bit younger than the maximum age of 19 for Legion players and like their teammates, each feels that the experience helps them get ready for college ball.

“There are a lot of col-

lege coaches and college players here,” Patton said.

“This is my first year of college which helped me the most. Just taking more cuts, throwing more and getting more velocity on my fast ball and swinging every day in the cage.”

Patton will room with Meliff at VU, and he hopes to be able to work with the former Viking standout in college next year.

Stoltz and Martin will both be going back to North Posey for their senior years, and playing a higher level competition this summer should come in handy.

Meliff, Stolz and Patton are in their third season of Legion baseball.

“I love it,” Stoltz said.

“It’s an extra season to play.

They’re a bunch of cool people and good competition. We’ve got a bunch of great players.”

Stolz splits his time between the mound and third base. The level of competition and the quality of coaching are also helpful, he added.

The desire to play summer ball was Meliff’s reason for trying out with Post 25 after his sophomore year at North Posey and that decision is one he hasn’t regretted.

“It’s been a blast meeting a bunch of new people from different schools,” he said.

“And we’ve had a good team, so it’s been fun.”

Meliff has known many pf the players from Little League, Babe Ruth ball and high school competition, so that has been helpful. Getting some extra swings at the plate are also beneficial, he added.

Scheller came back to the diamond this year after not playing his freshman year at Indiana University.

“I missed it. I didn’t play my freshman year, I wanted to play my sophomore year and I asked Coach Simmons and he was nice enough to let me play again,” Scheller said. “At first, it took a while and I got frustrated. My speed was down in pitching, my hitting was down, my mechanics weren’t good, but Coach Simmons fixed everything. I was frustrated, but he (Simmons) had confidence in me.”

Princeton only lost two people from a repeat Legion Sectional championship in 2011, so there are high expectations for this year’s squad, Scheller said.

The extra exposure and the return trip to Legion ball are showing signs of paying

off for Scheller. Three colleges, including Vincennes, Olney Central and Wabash Valley, came to watch the infielder-pitcher during a recent doubleheader against Terre Haute, and he had a workout at Olney Central last week.

Olney Central apparently liked what they saw, as Scheller signed a letter of intent to attend the Illinois junior college and play for the Knights in the upcoming school year.

A pitcher-outfielder for Post 25, Martin was recommended to Simmons by North Posey coach Kevin Smith.

“I didn’t start out very good, but I’ve gotten hotter at the plate as the season’s continued,” Martin said.

“It’s a better quality of playing and a better playing all the way around.”

Martin has been playing with familiar faces as well, counting both the Gibson County players as well as the former North Posey products. Like everyone else, he feels that the stronger competition against different players has helped him prepare for the next high school season.

Playing Legion-style competition will help not only Martin and Stolz, but all the high school players on the Post 25 roster (that includes Princeton and Gibson Southern), according to Simmons.

As for the college players, Simmons pointed out that the Legion games are played in something of a college atmosphere and that will be helpful as Meliff and Patton move on to VU (where they will room together this fall) and hopefully Scheller finds a place (well, he did, along with several other Princeton Legion players).

In addition to his Princeton teammates, Scheller will also be playing with former Mount Vernon standout Troy Paris, who is also planning to attend OCC and play for the Knights.

Heading into Sectional action last week, Scheller was hitting .450 (second on the team) with 45 runs scored, 36 runs batted in and seven triples, all team highs. He also belted two home runs, cracked nine doubles, and had a .509 onbase percentage and a .740 slugging percentage.

On the mound, Scheller posted a 3-0 won-loss record with a 2.42 earned-run average.

Martin was stinging the ball at a .468 clip, while Patton hit .445 with two doubles, five triples and a home run. Meliff was stinging the ball at a .295 clip.

Patton had a 4-1 record as a pitcher, with a 3.39 ERA. While Posey County has

a solid, but relatively new connection to Princeton, Alec Werry is the latest in a long line of Posey County products to play their Legion baseball for Evansville Funkhouser.

The North Posey senior is in his first season on the senior team after a year with Funkhouser Junior and he has played a major role on the team which upended Eugene Pate in the first round of the Evansville Sectional.

Alec followed his cousin, former New Harmony and University of Southern Indiana standout Chad Werry, on the Funkhouser roster.

“It’s helped quite a bit,” Werry said. “We’re not just playing high school kids the whole time; we’re also playing some college kids too.”

While he’s been all over the diamond this season, Werry is listed as an outfielder and usually plays left or right field.

Werry is hitting the ball well, adding that his experience will help get ready for both his senior year and hopefully, college.

“It (playing Legion ball) lets you see a bunch of different pitchers and different pitches,” Werry said. “It gives you a chance against different levels of competition.”

Werry’s coach feels that the North Posey product has been a great addition to his team’s roster this season.

“Alec has been a great

Big Eight scholarathletes named

There are 21 Mount Vernon Wildcats on the Big Eight Conference’s Academic All-Conference list for the spring semester.

To earn academic allconference honors, a student-athlete must maintain a grad-point average of 3.5 or higher for the semester.

Athletes from Mount Vernon included Stephen Blanford, Kendall Bourne, Jordan Dallas, Alex DeKemper, Ryan Dick, Rhylee Ford, Ashton Fuelling, Austin Goebel, Jon Hoehn, Layton Hopper, Mary Klueh, Nick Loehr, Erica McCormick, Reid Mobley, Troy Paris, Megan Randall, Jenna Reidford, Amy Seifert, Amy Steele, Audrey Summers and Abbie Vannover.

“Troy pitched pretty well,” McNamara said. “He had one bad inning where we didn’t make the plays and they strung some hits together and before you knew it, they had four runs. I hate to see that, because Troy pitched a good game. On the other hand, when we get some base runners on, but we couldn’t get the hit when we needed it, had a base running error here and there which took us out of an inning, but we just needed something to give us a jump start and we didn’t get it tonight.”

Newburgh had plated four runs in the bottom of the first inning when lightning and then heavy rains hit the Evansville area, forcing everyone off the field Thursday night.

Starting Friday in that hole may have put a damper on the team’s approach to the game as well, McNamara said, adding that the way Newburgh’s pitchers were throwing strikes didn’t help matters. Newburgh promptly dug an even deeper hole when play resumed, scoring seven runs in the bottom of the third to break things open.

Doubles by Sam Griggs and Daniel Sander were the big blows as Newburgh stretched the lead to 11-0 and chased Post Five starter Ross Canada.

Griggs then belted a two-run homer in the bottom of the fourth inning made the score 13-0 before another four tallies in the fifth closed out the scoring.

In the nightcap, a walk, single, double wild pitch and infield hit enabled Pate to

score three runs in the top of the third inning to open a 1-0 game, while Bruner held Post Five at bay for another seven and two-thirds frame before Mount Vernon finally got on the scoreboard.

A single by River VanZant, a walk to Paris and a two-out single by Hank Dausmann led to Mount Vernon’s only run of the night.

Paris was responsible for two of Owen Dunn’s three hits in the opener, one of which was a double.

“Well, I hope there’s a good core group coming back for the high school next year,” McNamara said. “We’ve played some good competition. In the first game, there were five different high school kids on their team, while on (Pate) and some of them may have been in college, so it was good competition.”

The Legion team closed out its season with an 11-9 record on a long Friday night.

And the outcome made it even longer.

Post Five closed out its regular season on a winning note last week, rallying from a 7-3 deficit to beat visiting Funkhouser 8-7.

“We have a lot of confidence,” McNamara said. “We feel that this (Funkhouser) is a team that we cab be competitive with. We got behind really, but this team will never quit.

We won a lot of games through the years in the last inning and next to last inning. If we stay close, we’ve got a chance to win.”

Two walks, a wild pitch and a ground out capped the rally and sent Post Five into the post season on a high note.

Logan Brown and Bryce New-

man each walked to open the bottom of the eighth inning. Brown was cut down truing to steal third, but Newman moved up and then took third on a wild pitch before crossing the plate on a ground out by VanZant.

After scoring the go-ahead run, Newman took the mound and walked the leadoff man in the top of the ninth, but then struck out the side to clinch the win for Mount Vernon.

Paris returned after a stint with an Evansville-based raveling team and helped out immediately with two hits, including a game-tying home run in the bottom of the seventh inning. Seven other players had one hit, while McNamara sent six pitchers to the mound in order to save a few arms ahead of the Sectional.

A triple by Collin Varner and a single by Craig Beeson enabled Mount Vernon to tie the game at 3-3 in the bottom of the second inning, but Funkhouser responded with two runs in both the fourth and fifth innings and built the 7-3 advantage.

“We tired to give it away,” McNamara said. “We had a few plays where we didn’t play too well (Post Five committed three errors in the contest). But we hung in and stayed close. We had a chance to win at the end, which is all you can ask.”

The chipping away started in the bottom of the sixth, with Jevin Redman led off with a triple and came in on a double by Veeck, who scored on a single by Brown.

In the seventh, led things off with a single and came around on Paris’ shot over the center field fence.

Dancecats retain UDA crown at USI The Mount Vernon Dance Cats, coached by Becky and Ivy DeKemper, recently attended the Universal Dance Association summer camp at the University of Southern Indiana. The dance cats went back old school this year with their hip-hop style competition routine. It turned out to be a hit at camp with the dance cats placing first with their home routine choreographed by Ivy DeKemper.

The girls received a perfect score - receiving all superior ribbons on their routines learned while at camp.

For this they were awarded a Superior Trophy. Both of these awards gave the Dance Cats invitations to the 2013 UDA Nationals Competition and to dance at the 2012 Capital One Bowl in Orlando, Florida.

While at dance camp the girls had to learn numerous routines along with a series of military (drill down) commands. For the eleventh year in a row the Dance Cats won the first place Team Drill Down Trophy.

Whitney Denning, Hillary May, Destiney Oeth, Demi Duckworth were among the final five. Hillary May was awarded first runner-up and Whitney Denning won the title and trophy of 2012 UDA Drill Down Queen.

Two newer awards given again this year were the “Pin It Forward” and “Special Recognition” awards.

While at camp only eight participants could receive the “Pin it Forward” award.

The Mt. Vernon Dance Cats had three members receive this award. Tristan Englert, Whitney Denning, and Demi Duckworth. The “Special Recognition” award was given to five members of the MVSHS Dance Cats.

Destiney Oeth, Demi Duckworth, Hillary May, Sydne Posteltheweight, and Summer Oeth.

The Dance Cats were one of the few teams that received a spirit stick every day.

THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS • SERVING THE COUNTY SINCE 1882 • WWW.POSEYCOUNTYNEWS.COM

Susan Stark inspires neighbors to keep a song in their hearts Poet Susan Stark sees the extraordinary in the ordinary, including ordinary people.

The Olney, Illinois, native moved to New Harmony nine years ago, a year after losing her beloved husband Stephen to cancer. The couple had been married 29 ½ years, just the number of years Stephen had worked in banking. Stark sought a fresh start in the close-knit community of New Harmony, a place of healing, she notes, for widows and widowers. “I’ve never regretted my decision,â€? Stark says. “I love it here.â€?

New Harmony has provided her with her first home on her own away from home in Olney. She came here, knowing only one person, Lena Feiner, owner of the Women’s Institute and Gallery. Stark didn’t, however, remain a stranger in town for long.

She gained immediate acceptance and support from her quick involvement in community life.

She is, perhaps, most well-known for leading activities first a New Harmonie Healthcare Center for three months, then at Charles Ford Home for five years. While there, she says the women residents taught her to play bridge. Now, she still goes to the Ford Home two or three times a week to play bridge and bingo with the women.

Once a month, she participates in the Ford Home reading circle as well. In addition, she remains a social companion of Pam Pace, widow of artist Stephen Pace. The two of them love attending New Harmony Theatre together and hanging out at the New Harmony Coffee House.

Stark definitely knows how to bring a melody to the heart. She writes award-winning poetry and sings soprano for Wolfgang Orchestra. Once a month, she meets with the Entry House Poets—Jessica Thompson of New Harmony, Linda Reising of Poseyville and Tom Raithel of Evansville.

For five years, she coordinated the annual poetry readings at the Women’s Institute and Gallery.

When she retires next year from full-time private care of Lori Espenlaub, (the recipient of a Habitat home in New Harmony just a few years ago), Stark plans to stay in New Harmony – home for her now. An avid gardener, she has worked with 13 tons of pea gravel, on shovel-full at a time, in doing the landscaping at Espenlaub’s home and at her own home. She hopes to finally have the time to work with the New Harmony Garden Club and to, once again, grow a vegetable garden. Other than that, she’d like to travel in Southwestern Indiana and overseas, just once, to Italy.

Stark and her late husband were blessed with two sons. Matthew (35) is married and works as a winemaker for The Bluffs in the Carbondale area. Thomas (33) still lives in Olney and runs his own janitorial service.

Kenny Kent Chevy is Evansville’s Back 2 School Headquarters

While many children in Evansville are excited about back to school, some families don’t have the means to buy the basic supplies. So Kenny Kent wants to help.

For every vehicle sold July 1st to Aug. 5th, Kenny Kent will donate 10 backpacks to the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation.

Our Goal - 1000 backpacks for local schools or you can just stop by and donate supplies. All items will be donated to Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation.
