Hope withers with heat, drought

By Valerie Werkmeister This year’s early spring made for high hopes for area farmers. The mild winter, the early, warm temperatures and the rainfall at just the right times seemed to be the perfect combination for bumper crop conditions. That was…until the month of June came without rain. As the days stretched into weeks without rain, the prospects of that bumper crop melted in the searing heat.

June ended with triple-digit temps and weather forecasters say to expect more of the same through the end of the week.

A week ago, area farmers still had hopes of getting at least 100 bushels per acre. This week, they will be lucky to see 50 bushels per acre, says northern Posey County and Gibson County farmer Rick Ziliak.

“It’s looking very bleak,” he said.

He, as well as other famers, hoped the irrigated corn on land closer to the Wabash River wouldn’t be affected as much. As the heat continues, it’s just cooking the little bit of corn that is there.

Frank Bender explained how the pollination process for the corn is stressed. There are fewer and smaller kernels that will produce a significantly less yield.

“We had a beautiful and smooth spring. I finished planting in April,” Bender said.

Different soil types make a difTwo-year-old Kyla Frizzell, of Owensville, finds her own way to fight the heat during the last night of Bible School at the Christian ference too. Crops on non-irrigated and sand-based soils are likely to Church just east of Poseyville. Photo by Dave Pearce

Posey tax sale is win-win It was a win-win for Posey County officials and its citizens. In May, Posey County offered a live sale on properties with delinquent taxes for the first time ever. A live sale was conducted at the Hovey House on May 22.

For some property owners, the prospect of having their property sold during a tax sale prompted them to come in and pay the delinquent taxes. In all, there were 24 properties that were sold out of a total of 47 properties offered.

suffer most.

Conditions have steadily worsened and the question on everyone’s mind is “When will it rain?”

If anyone can accurately answer that, they would be a hero, especially if they said it would be within the next few days. Recently the Purdue University Agronomy Specialists provided the Ag & Natural Resource Educators with an update on the impact of drought on crops around the state. Here is some of the information that they had to share.

Thus far the corn has been hanging on amazingly well, except in some of the counties where the drought is most severe and on the sandier soils. There has been some delay in silk emergence in regions where the drought is more severe.

When looking at the corn, one of the first symptoms of water stress is the rolling of the leaves to reduce transpiration in the afternoon.

If you go back the next day in the morning, the leaves will be unrolled and look better. That type of stress does not indicate severe yield loss. Once you see the symptoms get worse (leaves do not unroll), is when the drought stress is more severe. If it stays dry and temperatures increase, the impact of the drought will be more severe.

This year’s soybean plants are putting more energy into root development than on above ground plant growth. Some of the worse looking fields right now are those that were planted in mid-May and

Statement issued by town board on agreement

By Dave Pearce A few weeks ago, the New Harmony Town Council and North Posey School Board came to a mutual agreement on what could be done with the abandoned New Harmony School building.

This week, through New Harmony Town Baord member Karen Walker issued the following prepared statement from the New Harmony Town Board.

All hands are on board for 2012-13 school year

By Pam Robinson Superintendent Tom Kopatich reported at the June 26 meeting of the Mount Vernon School Board that all employees for the Metropolitan School District, or MSD, of Mount Vernon are set to be in place by July 2, the first board meeting of July. Any exceptions will result from “the domino effect,” when a current MSD of Mount Vernon employee vacates a position to fill an advertised position.

The board confirmed the employment of the following individuals: Stacy Culley as teacher assistant/detention center at the junior high; Nathan Ellis as assistant high school football coach; Sarah Hall as junior high cheerleader sponsor (half stipend), Meghann Herrenbruck as teacher assistant/remediation, Title 1 at West; Rachel Lockhart as junior high special education teacher; Amy Rutledge as teacher assistant/detention at the high school; Jacquelyn Wagner as teacher assistant/remediation, Title 1 at West; Robert Walker as teacher assistant/ remediation at Marrs and Travis Wolfe as 6th grade teacher at the junior high.

“The domino effect” caused the board to accept the resignation from Stacey Culley, effective immediately, as a food service worker.

In other business: The board adopted revised Policy 404.01 Responsible Technology Use. This policy will be of special interest to 6th grade iPad users this fall.

The board set bonds for all persons responsible for school district funds. Current bonds expire June 30, 2012.

The board voted to contract with AdTec in the amount of $3,750 to file for Universal Service Fund discounts for the funding year 20132014.

Superintendent Tom Kopatich announced that the IRead summer school went very well. One of the six students scheduled to attend the class moved, so five students completed their work and have already taken the IRead exam again.

A number of students received recognition for achievement in sports. In baseball, Troy Paris and Aaron Roberts made Big 8 All Conference, and Troy Paris was selected as the District P Player of the Year. In boys’ golf, Trevor Grant was named as a regional qualified and to the Big 8 All Conference. In girls’ softball, Amy Seifert claimed three titles—Big 8 All Conference Champion, All District and NorthSouth All Star Indiana Elite. In girls’ tennis, Claire Schroeder and Jenna Riedford were named to Big 8 All Conference, Claire Schroeder made All District and Jenna

Riedford and Audrey Summers were named to Academic All State.

Ellison promoted to sergeant Last week, Indiana State Police Superintendent Paul Whitesell, Ph.D, promoted Senior Trooper Kevin Ellison to the rank of Sergeant to serve as a District Squad Leader at Evansville.

Ellison is a native of Mount Vernon and a 1992 graduate of Mount Vernon High School. He later attended Eastern Illinois University where he received a degree in Biology.

He graduated from the Indiana State Police Academy in December 1998 and was assigned to the Connersville District.

Ellison transferred to the Evansville District in 2000 and primarily patrolled Posey County until he transferred to the Com-

didn’t really have adequate moisture when planted and immediately after planting. Overall fields planted before mid-May are in good shape. Soybean plants have the ability to recover from this dry period and still yield well if we get moisture later in the season. So far most of the yield losses that have occurred are in fields where farmers did not get a good plant population. One thing to note is that this year, it will probably not be uncommon to see soybean plants under stress flowering at the V3 to V4 growth stages instead of R1 or R2.

It might be hard to control lambsquarter and marestail this year if it gets to be four inches or more in height and under drought stress. If you see that you have lambsquarter or marestail in your soybeans then you need to apply a post emergent herbicide. It is suggested that under this year’s conditions that you use the maximum rate and an adjuvant package designed for high temperatures and stress as noted by the herbicide label.

You should also be on the lookout this year for spider mites in soybeans. Dry weather conditions can bring on spider mite damage fairly quickly. Initial scouting for this problem can be done by looking for soybean leaves turning a rust color. If you see rust color leaves, then you should place a piece of white paper below the leaf and shake the leaf. If tiny reddish or orange mites fall into the paper, you have a spider mite problem.

Statement, from Page 1A The Town of New Harmony, and the New Harmony Town Council has initiated immediate steps to “mothball” the building. By that, we mean to secure the building and set the utilities at minimal levels. These measures are being taken in an attempt to maintain the building in its current condition and to do so at the lowest possible cost. The building cannot be made available for temporary use due to liability and maintenance issues. Going forward, the Town will be exploring various opportunities to market the property.

North Posey School Corporation has removed equipment, desks, books, electronics, and other items. They have also entered into an agreement with the Town of New Harmony to lease the building for additional storage for a two-year period at a cost of $50,000 a year.”

In addition, Head Start will continue to hold its pre-school classes in one room of the school. Head Start will provide stand alone heating and air conditioning for that room.

Mount Vernon School Board, from Page 1A McCormick deserves special recognition as a state qualifier in the 800 meter run as well.

Superintendent Tom Kopatich announced that 40.49 percent of the budget had been expended in the General Fund as of May 31, 2012, with 41.67 percent of the year gone. He noted that the school dis-

trict is staying under budget in the General Fund in spite of a $1 million decrease in the coffers. In the Transportation Fund, 44.93 percent of the budget has been expended thus far.

The Mount Vernon School Board will meet again Monday, July 2, 2012, 5:45 p.m. in the junior high media center.

With several great new features, including comments!

We’ve been asked…

“Does pre-planning a funeral have its advantages?”

While it may be uncomfortable to discuss pre-planning funeral arrangements with your family, it is one of the best emotional and financial investments you make for those you love. Also, when you pre-pay for a funeral, we guarantee the funeral price, adding peace of mind for you and your family.

Dry weather prompts Holiday World to cancel Fireworks With no end in sight to the extreme hot and dry weather conditions, Holiday World officials decided this morning to cancel plans for fireworks on the 4th of July.

“It’s just not worth the safety risk,” says the park’s president, Dan Koch. “We sorry to disappoint our visitors, but we think they’ll

understand. Meanwhile, we wish everyone a safe and happy Independence Day!” Koch added that despite the cancelled fireworks, the park will remain open an extra 30 minutes on July 4, until 9 p.m. CDT (10 p.m.

EDT).

Holiday World is the only park in the nation with a “4th of July” themed sec-

tion, with such rides as the Freedom Train, Liberty Launch, and the new Sparkler vertical swing ride.

By Michael Guido

A flock of geese headed south to escape the winter, says a fable. They stopped the first night in a farmer’s yard and filled themselves with corn. When morning came, they all left, except one.

He said, “The corn’s good.

I’ll stay one more day.” Every day, after stuffing himself, he’d say, “Tomorrow I’ll fly south.”

Winter came, and he knew he had to leave. He stretched his wings and tried to take off, but he was too fat to fly.

Sermon of the Week: Grading on a Curve I loved school, a place where I could achieve success. The common practice of grading on the curve suited me, since that almost always guaranteed me top marks in the class.

As an employee I don't care for grading on a curve.

Self-evaluation forms that ask, "How do you rate yourself on a scale of 1-10 in performance?" make me

Worship with us

shudder.

Who wants to rate themselves either too low or too high?

God doesn't use a curve when it comes to keeping the law. He doesn't say, "As long as you keep my law 70% of the time, I will forgive you the other 30%."

No, God is an all-ornothing Lord. In the progress of revelation at this

time in the history of God's people, the Lord was teaching His absolute holiness. It was a hard lesson to learn, but someday Christ would come, our substitute righteousness.

Yes, Jesus came to be the way to this holy God - the only perfect way for a world of sinners. As Thomas A. Kempis once said: "without the way, there is no going;

State Rep. Wendy McNamara (R- Mount Vernon) honored Pastor Joe Easley of Central UMC Worship with a Distinguished Hoosier Award. Pastor Easley received his Distinguished Hoosier Award for his exceptional dedication to his congregations throughout his pastoral career.

He has spent 42 years serving communities throughout Southern Indiana and is receiving this award upon his retirement. The Distinguished Hoosier Award is one of the highest tributes given out by the State of Indiana to its citizens. It is solely granted at the discretion of the Governor to Hoosiers who have uniquely brought admiration and respect to the state through their character and accomplishments. Mayor Winnecke was also present and proclaimed June 24, Pastor Joe Easley Day. Both tributes were of great surprise to Pastor Joe.

Museum to offer ‘zentangle’

What is a zentangle? “Zentangle” describes a technique that uses repetitive patterns to create beautiful images; it increases artistic focus and can be very meditative. Anyone can do it!

In this workshop we will go over some basic zentangle techniques to get our creative juices flowing, spend some time letting our pens hit the paper, and see what happens!

After this workshop, participants will be able to use the Zentangle process at home to redirect their artistic intention and enter a relaxed state. The class will be held on Saturrday, July 28 from 10 a.m. until noon. Reservations must be made through the Evansville Museum by July 20.

OPINION

Uphill battle to quit smoking ends in beautiful mountaintop view A year ago this month, I crushed out my last cigarette. I threw out my cigarette lighter and all my ashtrays. I quit smoking cold turkey after more than 30 years of puffing away. I won’t lie. It’s been an uphill LIVING battle.

FOR THE The first three months, I kept my footing only because JOURNEY I vowed to climb out of ad- BY PAM diction “one day at a time.” ROBINSON Fighting almost constant cravings for a smoke, I often needed to deal with one minute at a time.

That required not only overcoming addiction but some really bad habits also. I had to stop, for example, reaching for a cigarette first thing in the morning while I simultaneously poured a cup of coffee. I still enjoy a morning cup of joe, but I mix up where I

drink it, depending on the weather—either in the dining room or on the front porch. Before I stopped smoking, I had headed straight to my home office every morning to drink coffee and chain smoke while I answered email and started writing. In fact, I believed cigarettes absolutely inspired my articles.

Somehow I managed to meet deadline during the first three months without cigarettes in spite of writer’s block.

Passing the three-month mark was somehow magical for me. Never before had I stopped smoking for twelve entire weeks.

About eight weeks had been my record.

For my perseverance, I was rewarded with easier breathing. It resulted in better sleep at night and in far less shortness of breath when

I walked around the block or up and down the basement stairs. After three months, my cravings diminished also. For the past nine months, I’d guess “I just say no” to sneaking one of my husband Jim’s cigarettes about once a month. Jim rewarded me also by putting an end to his smoking in our upstairs living quarters.

Now, I’m looking forward to my fourth anniversary as a non-smoker. According to one of my friends who joined the unhooked generation, she stopped craving cigarettes completely after four years without one.

Seven years later, she can even hang out with smokers, yet feels no urge to light up again.

My initial inspiration for giving up cigarettes came from St. Philip resident Kevin Ray. He shed 123 pounds in 10 months without gimmicks. One day at a time, he created a new lifestyle of healthy eating and

regular exercise. After one year as a nonsmoker, I am motivated now by better health and the hope I’ll live long enough to see my 15-year-old daughter Jessica graduate from college and to dance at her wedding to a nice young Christian man. Needless to say, I also want to be around to rock their children.

Calculating $4 per pack for cigarettes, I’ve saved well over $2,000 in the year since I quit my pack and a half a day addiction.

More important, quitting has kept the toxin from around 12,000 cigarettes out of my lungs. No wonder I can walk uphill now without doubling over to catch my breath.

I’ll keep you posted each year as I move toward the four-year milestone. Such confession keeps me honest and less like to stumble and fall headlong back down the mountain. I love the view up here, but I must admit, it’s a little dizzying.

Unexpected endings provide light-hearted way of looking at the truth Occasionally I have a moment when I feel clever or bright. But with the friends I have, depending on who I am with, sometimes I feel either extremely clever or not really bright at all.

But this week, I received an email from another friend of mine that kind of summed TRUTH... up the way I feel about a lot STRANGER of things. When I am feel- THAN ing brighter during another FICTION week, I will write my own. BY DAVE But when there’s this kind PEARCE of material out there, why try and re-invent the wheel.

So, sit back, relax, and read with an open mind and you’ll have to chuckle.

1. Where there’s a will, I want to be in it.

2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you.

But it’s still on my list.

3. Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

4. If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.

5. We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.

6. War does not determine who is right only who is left.

7. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

8.

They begin the evening news with ‘Good Evening,’ then proceed to tell you why it isn’t.

9. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.

10. Buses stop in bus stations. Trains stop in train stations. On my desk is a work station.

11. I thought I wanted a career. Turns out I just wanted paychecks.

12. In filling out an application, where it says, ‘In case of emergency, notify:’ I put ‘DOCTOR.’ 13. I didn’t say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

14. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they’re sexy.

15. Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman.

16. A clear conscience is the sign of a fuzzy memory.

17. You do not need a parachute to skydive.

You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

18. Money can’t buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with.

19. There’s a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can’t get away.

20. I used to be indecisive. Now I’m not so sure.

21. You’re never too old to learn something stupid.

22. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

23. Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be.

24. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

25. Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

26. And mine is.........

27. I’m supposed to respect my elders, but it’s getting harder and harder for me to find one now.

Guest Column: Ann Rains Think about what you will do With record breaking triple digit temperatures continuing to rise, have you given any thought to what you will do if our aging U.S. electrical grid cannot handle the demand for the excess energy needed to cool our homes?

How does one prepare for a Black Out? Although most of us don’t want to think that this could happen, it may be a reality with which we have to deal.

Having a jugs of water stored for emergency use is a good start. The number needed depends on your size of family and an unknown--the length of time of the Black Out. We cannot be cutting trees (that absorb the carbon dioxide) to cook our meals if we have electric cook stoves. Having a solar cooker on hand could be a real blessing. With the sun‘s intensity, cooking burgers “well done” would be no problem. Cooking a pizza would be like using a microwave oven! Even beans could be cooked and cornbread baked. Solar cookers are easy to make. One can find numerous designs for solar cookers on the internet.

Keeping our body temperature at a safe level will be a challenge during a Black Out. For those who have basements, you are fortunate. Basement temperatures remain cool.

For people living in second floor apartments or those who have no basement, staying cool may mean sitting in a bathtub of cool water, or taking frequent showers. With no electricity, even the stand-by fans won’t work.

For prolonged electrical cessation, freezer food will thaw. That could be a heartbreak-

ing waste for those who count on frozen food in their daily diet. Grandmother did not have electricity and had to can food from the family garden. Many people still can green beans, tomatoes and other foods. For them, a Black Out may not be as serious.

Your pet will suffer from the heat, too. I keep a spray bottle of water in my vehicle to mist my dog if he is with me. When I water the outside plants on a hot day, the dog runs through the cascading water from the hose. Please remember to keep water in the bird baths, too. The heat will affect all living creatures.

I hear reports, “It was 111 degrees one day in 1937.” In geological time that was yesterday. There have been no reports of twelve or fourteen day triple digit heat waves. Is this a harbinger of our summer and the future?

I fear that the temperatures will continue to wreck havoc with our lives if we do not turn off the carbon dioxide and methane spigots.

Jeffrey Kluger said in 2007, “It was probably always too much to believe that human beings would be responsible stewards of the planet. We may be the smartest of all animals, endowed with exponentially greater powers of insight and abstraction, but we’re animals all the same. That means that we can also be shortsighted and brutish, hungry for food, resources, land--and heedless of all the mess we leave behind trying to get them.” 2007 was the hottest year on record. No longer. 2 Peter 3:3

first experience with the system. So even if the community becomes aware of a child’s misdeeds, there is a greater tendency to accept treatment instead of punishment.

When a child is brought into the juvenile justice system for the first time, if the matter does not involve serious harm to others, it is handled as an informal proceeding.

The court’s probation department with the agreement of the prosecuting attorney and any victims work with the child and the parents to design a program that addresses the needs of the child and the misbehavior.

Such things as restitution, apologies, public service and restrictive curfews are common for informal adjustments. The child and his or her parents must report to a probation officer and comply with the program. If they do not, a formal juvenile petition can be filed by the prosecuting attorney.

Informal adjustments allow for the greatest flexibility and do not result in a formal record for the child. Another positive aspect of informal adjustments is they require less of our system’s limited resources and cost less taxpayer monies. About seventy-five percent of Posey County’s first time juvenile offenders are placed on informal adjustment.

Of course, as with all people, juveniles sometimes disappoint. Then the system begins to ratchet up. We can discuss the next steps next week.

Countdown to the Posey County 4-H Fair he Posey County 4-H Fair kicks off in just a few days and will run from Saturday, July 7th through Saturday, July 14th. The Posey County Fair is an integral part of our community and truly a local treasure. Some of my favorite childhood memories are of me participating in the fair with my dog Winston, and since then, I have looked forward to the local 4-H county fair each and every year.

With having such a large farming community, it allows many students the opportunity to participate in 4-H. The 4-H program teaches kids valuable lessons that could not be learned in a classroom. Students learn responsibility, leadership, community stewardship, and perseverance. Throughout the years, I have employed many of the skills I acquired in 4-H. Seeing all the projects the students create is one of the best parts about the fair. These students truly are the inventors, scientists and entrepreneurs of tomorrow and their ideas are always incredibly original. I am looking forward to seeing what they have come up with this year.

The fair will once again have all the traditional events. On Saturday, the fair kicks off with recognition of last year’s 4-H members followed by the princess, duchess and queen contests. One of my favorite events is watching the mud volleyball tournament.

You can catch this year’s tournament at 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 12th. To see a complete list of events, visit: www.poseycountyfair.com. I know you will walk away with a favorite event or probably already have one.

This great fair would not be possible without the combined efforts of many in our community. I want to extend my personal thanks to the 4-H Youth Extension Educators and 4-H Program Assistants. They put in many volunteer hours helping our youth and preparing for the fair. Also, I want to thank all of those who work so hard to put on this community tradition.

From the rabbit exhibit to the award winning pie, the fair truly has something for everyone. I encourage everyone to go out to see the sights, support the 4-Hers and partake in this year’s 4-H Posey County Fair.

Letters to the Editor

Gavel Gamut’s ‘ Consequences ‘ Indiana’s constitution mandates that the goal of our system of justice is reformation not retribution. While this is more often a philosophy than a reality with adults, with juveniles there is more flexibility.

Whereas adults are usually brought into the criminal GAVEL justice system alone, a juve- GAMUT nile’s parents, and sometimes even his or her extended famBY JUDGE ily, are part of the procedure.

J IM REDWINE The law assumes adults are responsible for their own actions but that a child’s parents are able to influence the child’s behavior. This assumption allows and sometimes requires the juvenile justice system to involve the family in dispositions.

Unlike adults who usually live on their own or at least have autonomy, children usually live with their parents, therefore, the parents are required to supervise the child away from court. Occasionally this means parents who fail to help rehabilitate their child may, also, have coercive measures applied. In Posey County such situations are rare as most families tend to see cooperation with a reasonable plan for the child as both just and in the child’s and the family’s best interests.

The legislature has designed an extensive range of options for use with juveniles. Adults may face the wrath of a society wearied by constant reports of failed attempts keep them on the straight and narrow. But with juveniles matters are normally kept confidential plus, just due to age, juveniles may be having their

Guest Column by State Rep Wendy McNamara

Supreme Court Ruling on the Affordable Care Act Following the U.S Supreme Court ruling upholding the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, Dave Crooks, the Democratic nominee for Congress in Indiana's 8th District, released the following statement: "Despite today's ruling that President Obama's health care law is constitutional, I am deeply concerned about the impact that this law will have on the future of Medicare.

Washington has work to do to fix this law.

“This law places a tremendous amount of power in the hands of the Independent Payment Advisory Board, a panel of appointed officials who will have the power to make changes to the Medicare program. Because voters will not be able to hold this Board accountable, it poses a serious risk to the future

Let’s serve those who serve us For many young military moms who are on active duty or whose partners are deployed, giving birth can be a very stressful experience. Often alone, they are worried about their loved one in harm's way and taking care of a newborn. For servicemen and women, being away from home during this life-changing time is equally stressful.

With your help, we can ease their burden and honor their service. The March of Dimes has partnered with the VFW to launch Mission: Healthy Baby®. The program provides resources on how to stay healthy during pregnancy; offers ways for military dads to get involved; provides comfort to families with a baby in the newborn intensive care unit; and

“Unlike Congressman Bucshon, I believe we have a moral obligation to take care of our nation’s seniors, and after a lifetime of paying into Medicare, we have a responsibility to ensure that the program is preserved for current and future retirees. That's why I also oppose the $500 billion cut to Medicare. This provision must also be eliminated.

“As a small business owner and father, I understand the implications this law could pose on taxpayers and on our businesses. In Congress, I will fight to ensure that health care is actually affordable for our families and ensure that regulation does not unfairly burden Indiana small businesses.”

EVEN SINATRA WOULD CROON OVER THE WONDER OF

MOON RIVER SPA W

Athletic Massage

Restorative Therapies

Hot Stone Massage

hen red-haired beauty Jenifer Blevins smiles at clients with her Irish eyes, she earns their trust in her sincerity. The owner of Moon River Spa in New Harmony has spent 15 years perfecting massage techniques, healing touch and herbology—all to help people feel better.

“Massage and energy work is instantaneous. People feel better in 30 minutes to an hour. It’s like hitting the reset button. All of a sudden all of the stress and pain melt away,” she comments about the greatest reward of her work. “People are so thankful to feel good. There’s so much healing work that needs to be done in this world. At the end of the day, it’s always nice to feel like people have truly been helped.”

A graduate of Eastern Illinois University with a bachelor of science in physical education and a minor in English, Blevins served as a high school teacher and coach in her first career.

She developed an interest in alternative healing for its attention to both physical and spiritual well-being. So in the summers and on weekends for most of the 15 years she taught, she worked toward mastering alternative healing methods.

She completed massage school at Bodyworks Massage Institute in Evansville and first practiced healing touch at University of Southern Indiana before going on to study in Cincinnati and St. Louis, culminating in her practitioner apprentice certificate from the Healing Touch Program based in San Antonio.

Charmed by New Harmony at an early age when she and her parents camped in the area, Blevins moved her own family of three children to the magical town six years ago. She is delighted to partner with New Harmony Inn to offer her “wholistic services” to New Harmony’s visitors and residents alike.

Moon River Spa occupies the quaint green cottage across the street from the inn at 517 North Street. Blevins rents the space from New Harmony Inn, but she’s been able to decorate and arrange the space for the most soothing effect on her clients.

Clients check in and out of the parlor before starting with juice or hot tea prepared in the kitchen hospitality room. Healing touch, energy work and cranial sacral therapy, a technique to balance the brain and spinal fluids, are offered in the separate therapy room. Therapeutic massage and reflexology, or acupressure on the feet to relax the entire body, are provided in yet another massage room. Peaceful instrumental music wafts ever so softly throughout the four rooms.

Massage is, by far, the most requested service. Very popular is offsite chair massage for a company’s personnel or guests at a party. Each person sits in a special massage chair and receives a 10 to 15 minute firm, but not rough, neck and shoulder massage to relieve stress and tension. Blevins has received rave reviews for this service.

Blevins learned a variety of massage techniques, so she can give an invigorating or a relaxing massage. The deep relief massage suits those, for example, wanting a firm, slow pressure applied to affect underlying muscles whereas the relaxation massage draws on a variety of techniques to deliver a gentle soothing experience. The labyrinth hot stone massage lets warm oiled basalt stones do the work along with harmonizing massage strokes. Athletic massage is requested for the prevention and healing of injuries to the muscles and tendons of active bodies. Costs start at $60 and go up, depending on how many minutes Blevins works.

For those on a budget, healing hands therapy or restoring foot therapy brings 25 minutes of relaxation for just $30. The hands or feet are dipped into melted soy wax and wrapped in hot towels. The treatments end with a light application of cream that relaxes the body while it softens the skin.

Although Blevins acknowledges 60 percent of her clientele are tourists who walk over from the inn, the remaining 40 percent are New Harmony residents, who trust her with repeat business. For such loyalty, she rewards anyone who lives or works in New Harmony with a 20 percent discount.

Before the summer ends, Blevins will add salon services— hair styling and makeup, manicures and pedicures—to her offerings at Moon River Spa to make it a full service spa. Wedding parties will find it an especially welcome place. She insists the salon will avoid services, like permanents, that would place harsh chemical smells in the rooms.

Even now, she blends well over 20 organic healing products for sale in the parlor. Products cover everything from head to toe: lip balm, an anti-aging mask, a blemish remover, sunscreen, bug repellant, body butter, healing salves, oil blends, bath salts and sugar and salt scrubs. Her best seller is an allnatural, scented deodorant and antiperspirant requiring only a small application to do its long, hard work. Clients may also purchase fragrant candles just like those suffusing the massage and therapy rooms with their soft light.

Readers interested in more information may visit Blevins’ website at www.moonriverspa.com or may email questions to info@moonriverspa.com. Appointments may be made by calling (812) 550-7483.

When the dust settles, Poseyville Black is team standing

By Steve Joos North Posey Black coach Damien Word told his team prior to last week’s South Gibson League tournament that they were one of the best teams in the league, if not they best.

On Saturday night, they showed they were the best.

Black plated five runs in the top of the fifth inning to back up the pitching of Christian Jones for a 10-0 victory over county rival St. Wendel in the league tourney’s championship game at Owensville.

“They finally proved me right,” Black coach Damien Word said. “I’ve been saying all year that I thought we had the best team in the league and today, all weekend, they’ve been proving me right.”

Despite the very hot weather, Black outslugged Fort Branch VFW 10-7 to reach the championship game and then got six innings of one-hit ball from Jones to put away their Posey County rivals and nail down the championship Saturday night.

“We just played baseball,” Word said. “It feels amazing. We can walk away knowing we had a chance. It feels good.”

“Black came ready to play and we didn’t,” St. Wendel coach Gene Wildeman said. “That’s what it boils down to.”

Black seemed to be ready from the outset, scoring two runs in the top of the first on a walk to Christian Jones and consecutive doubles

by James Marshall and Jared Hostettler. They added a run in the fourth and then salted things away in the top of the fifth frame.

James Marshall led off the Black fifth by beating out a sharp grounder to short, stealing second and coming around on a one out double

by Blayke Dillman. Tyler Wright singled in Dillman, pilfered second base and came around himself when Quinton Fife doubled with two outs.

Jones singled in the last two runs to round out the scoring before Austin Graves walked.

“Andy Herrmann was phenomenal tonight with four hits,” Word said. “He’s the catcher and I joke about his speed, but I think he had three doubles tonight. He and Blayke Dillman (three hits) just exploded on the ball, Jared Hostettler had a ground-rule double in the fourhole, my top three (Jones, Graves and Marshall) were always getting on base and making something happen. Our 4-5-6 hitters showed up today and just hit the ball hard.”

Word also complimented St. Wendel’s Derek Lindauer, the losing pitcher, but also complimented Jones for his performance.

Black loaded the bases in the top of the sixth on an error, walk and stolen base before Wright singed in the last two runs of the game.

In that game against VFW, Black overcame errors, stranded baserunners and a lack of players to survive a slugfest with the Fort Branch squad.

Fife played second base for the first time in the semifinals and turned in three phenomenal defensive plays, while collecting three hits.

“It was a slugfest,” Word said, adding that the aggressiveness may have played a role in the baseruning mistakes. “It was hot and everybody was trying to make something happen.

We’d sore a run, they’d score a run and we just kept fighting and fighting.”

Marshall went the distance despite being hit for seven runs and threw as many pitches as there degrees on the thermometer (102).

Graves collected four this and drove in six runs against VFW, while Marshall added four blows and Jones drove in four. He and Marshall combined for 10 hits in Saturday’s two games.

St. Wendel reached the championship game with a 7-1 win over Haubstadt Legion in the

Mount Vernon plays well in Inaugural girls’ basketball shootout

By Steve Joos The weather outside was the hottest of the summer so far, but it was cool inside, so why not stay indoors and watch some of the area’s better girls’ basketball players sharpen their skills for the upcoming season?

That’s what a number of people did Saturday in Mount Vernon as the Lady Wildcats hosted their first annual Girls’ Basketball Shootout at the high school

gyms.

“I think we played really well,” Lady Cats’ coach Steve Mitchell said. “We played three really good teams and went 2-1. We had two starters out for that last game and if we would have both of those starters, we would have won that game.”

But the absence of starters Jade Dixon and Lauren Stemple from the scrimmage with Barr-Reeve gave some other girls a chance to play

and work on their games, which was a chance to step up as well, Mitchell added.

The Lady Wildcats also had to shuffle some players into different positions and that might pay dividends down the road as well.

The Lady Vikings were 47-41 winners in their contest with Mount Vernon, but had to hold off a late comeback bid by the hosts after they built a 15-point lead at one stage of the game.

Earlier, Mount Vernon defeated Southridge 42-25 and Silver Creek 34-32.

“Those are three good teams and to come out with two wins is a great way to end the summer,” Mitchell said. “Southridge is an excellent team and we beat Silver Creek this morning. I think what happened is that we got a little tired and losing Jade and Lauren may have affected the way we got out and guarded people. Also it affected our zone offense a little bit.”

Dixon was injured during the game with Barr-Reeve, turning an ankle, while Stemple went down during the Silver Creek contest when she ran into a screen and suffered concussion-like symptoms. The loss of the two senior leaders took a lot out of Mount Vernon, but the Lady Cats gave a strong effort, cutting the deficit to six points at the end.

Each game consisted of two 18-minute quarters with a running clock except for free throws. In addition to Mount Vernon’s pool there was a second group which included Mater Dei, Mount Carmel and Sullivan.

Mater Dei and Mount Carmel officered one of the more interesting personal pairings, as Laura Muensterman led Mater Dei, while Tyra Buss came in with the Lady Aces. Mater Dei eventually won the game.

As for Mount Vernon, Mitchell felt that the day showed that the Lady Cats showed they could compete with some of the tougher teams in the conference and the state (Mater Dei is the defending Class 2A state champion, for instance), while also showing what the team had to work on.

“I also have some ideas in the back of my head what we have to do,” the coach added. “There are things that we did very well and things we had to work on.”

The Lady Cats played better Saturday than in their recent trip to the Pike Central Shootout, which the junior varsity won. The presence of Jacey Ritzert was one factor, Mitchell said, adding that she is getting back into shape from an injury.

The team also played well against stronger competition in an earlier shootout at Murray State University in Ken-

This was Mount Vernon’s first such girls’ shootout and Mitchell was pleased with the turnout and the fan support, adding that the summer has been productive for the team.

“We’ve played about 15 games in June,” Mitchell said. “Winning and losing wasn’t as important as getting better and I think we’ve done that. We’ve had the best turnout for open gym that we’ve ever had, so it’s been a good summer.”

Owen Dunn Post Five completes sweep of the week

By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon American Legion baseball team hit the ball hard and often enroute to a pair of wins last week.

On Tuesday, the Owen Dunn Post Five Legion team crossed the Wabash and took advantage of seven Carmi errors en route to a 19-9 romp over Carmi in seven innings at Eckerle Park and then on Thursday, Trevor Veeck came in and shut down Eugene Pate in the bottom of the ninth inning to preserve an 8-7 victory at the Harrison High School baseball field.

The Evansville post had cut Mount Vernon’s lead to 8-7 and had the tying run on first with nobody out when Veeck relieved Ross Canada in the bottom of the ninth. The Mount Vernon hurler promptly set down the side in order and preserved the win.

Drake McNamara collected three hits, including a double, and drove in three runs to lead Mount Vernon, while Canada added two blows, including another two-bagger.

Logan Brown drove in two runs with a fourth-inning double and Craig Beeson doubled in a run in the fifth as Post Five took a 5-2 lead.

Pate countered with four runs in the bottom of the fifth before Owen Dunn pulled the game out.

At Carmi, Mount Vernon banged out 13 hits and took advantage of seven Carmi miscues on top of that to score 19 runs and end the game after seven innings under the 10run rule.

An eight-run fifth inning broke open what had been a close game and another five tallies in the sixth all but finished off the Illinoisans.

Five different Mount Vernon players collected two hits each, as Canada, Beeson, McNamara, River VanZant and Jevin Redman each had a pair of blows. VanZant and Beeson each doubled.

Hank Dausmann picked up the win, while J.T. Silvers and McNamara finished up.

‘Usual suspects’ win again at St. Wendel Another week, another Friday night, and the top teams in the St. Wendel softball league do their thing.

Win. The Silver Bell and MAP Oil Company each polished off another victory in Friday night’s action at the Athletic Club field, with Silver Bell posting a 14-8 win over Sandie’s Pizza, while MAP Oil was all over DT’s, winning 21-3 to remain close to the top heading into a bye week.

And one may want to add Multiple Scoregasms to that list of the usual suspects, as Multi-Scoregasms picked up their second win in three weeks by outslugging Hoehn Plastics 26-20.

The league will be off this weekend due to the Fourth of July holiday and the St. Wendel Tavern tournament, which is set for Saturday and Sunday at the Athletic Club field.

Bill and Gayle Henderson teach fundamentals of Hoosier hospitality Thirty-three years ago, Bill and Gayle Henderson came to Mount Vernon.

Except for their Southern drawl picked up in Kentucky and South Carolina,

theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d pass as natives of Southwestern Indiana.

They have practiced Hoosier hospitality ever since they moved here.

Arriving in August, the couple had joined First Presbyterian Church later the same year in October.

Bill continues to serve as an elder and has served formerly as church treasurer. Gayle has taught Sunday School as well as Vacation Bible School and has faithfully made a joyful noise with the church choir. A past elder, she has worked on two pastor nominating committees as well. Through the church, Bill has also been very active in the building of the

Habitat houses in Mount Vernon.

Before retiring at the same time in 2010, Bill and Gayle touched countless lives in the area through their teaching.

Graduating from Western Kentucky University in his native Bowling Green, Bill transferred from teaching at East Tennessee State University to teach at University of Southern Indiana, or USI, when it was still known as Indiana State University Evansville, or ISUE. During his 30-year career at USI, he taught any number of business courses, including economics and computer information

systems. He gained popularity for his continuing education classes in Lotus and later Excel. His career culminated in his appointment as Assistant Dean of the College of Business.

Nearby, Gayle worked 24 years in the EvansvilleVanderburgh School Corporation. For 17 years, she served as a media specialist, and for 7 more years, as a sixth grade teacher.

The Hendersons enjoy traveling, especially to visit their daughter Caroline and their daughter Johanna and her husband Shaun Wallisa.

Both Caroline and Johanna are Mount Vernon High

School honor graduates.

Caroline went on to earn an engineering degree from Purdue and now works for Exxon Mobile in Washington, D.C., while Johanna serves as a pediatric anesthesiologist in Indianapolis after having completed a fellowship at Riley Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital.

In addition to traveling and visiting their children, Bill and Gayle walk the trails at USI together nearly every day and work out together regularly at Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gym. Bill also golf every chance he gets while Gayle tends her flower beds and reads thrillers and mysteries.

Closed today for you and our associates to celebratewith family and friends.
