North Posey crushes 2013 Relay for Life goal

By Valerie Werkmeister At the beginning of every new Relay for Life season, it may sometimes feel as though meeting the fundraising goal is a daunting task. Indeed, raising $83,000 in the small, northern Posey County community is no small feat. Yet, time and time again, the community pulls together by digging deep into their pockets, volunteering their time and rallying through the wee hours of the morning to fight for a cure.

This year was no exception, save for the fact that it was an exceptional year. North Posey Relay for Life teams not only met their goal before the relay event on June 8, they surpassed it by over $18,000. Committee members learned the final total was $101,345 during their end of the season wrap-up meeting Monday, August 12. Teams enjoyed a potluck style dinner while discussing the points

of this year’s relay event.

Team totals are as follows: One Stop Express - $1921.89; Class of 2013 - $3,469.44; Committee Relayers - $231; Community State Bank - $3,346.26; Cookin’ Friends - $5,131.01; Dollar General - $2,316.22; First Bank $485.12; Forever Memories - $410.31; Hirsch Family - $1,748.39; Jeepsters – St. Wendel - $1,864.01; North Elementary School - $2,866.26; North Posey Student Council - $5, 631.96; North Posey Junior High - $1,480; Pearison, Inc. - $10,241.75; Robinson Twp. Conservation Club - $1,961.89; Schmitt Family team - $2,092.40; St. Francis - $5,011.31; St. Paul’s UMC - $3,567.01; TOPS - $5,231.76; Tepool family - $2,343.01; Wassmer family team - $6,763.37; Tri Kappa - $2,980.33; Viking Wrestlers - $3,390.56; Zion-Lippe U.C.C. - $8,195.01 and Hopf family team - $14,940.84.

The committee achieved several awards including the Pacesetter award; Taking Care of Business award and Founder’s Challenge which were met by having each team with at least 15 team members sign up by early deadline dates.

This year’s relay event also had an amazing 104 survivors register and participate.

Committee members have chosen June 7-8, for the 2014 Relay event. New teams and committee members are always welcome. Contact event chair Mary Peach at 483-0848.

There are still many opportunities to donate as several teams continue to fundraise year round. St. Francis Relay for Life team is currently selling mums in a variety of colors for $8 each. Order forms can be obtained by contacting Jeri Ziliak at 449-7445 or Amber Oakley at 430-1572.

Two from Mount Vernon face drug dealing charges

By Dave Pearce Two more suspected drug dealers are no longer on Posey County streets this week as the result of work done by city, county, and state drug agencies.

According to information released by Kenneth Rose, head of the Posey County Drug Task Force, on August 16, uniformed patrol officers of the Posey County Sheriff’s Department were assisting the Indiana Department of Child Services with a home visit in rural Posey County regarding the welfare of a child under the age of 18. The two agencies had traveled to the residence of John K. Brown located in the 10600 block of Shirley Road.

While at the residence, personnel of both agencies observed drug related items inside the home. The owner granted officers consent to search the residence at which time personnel of the Posey County Drug Task Force were summoned to the scene to help search and assist with the investigation.

During the search of the property site, officers located an ac-

Reich

ing in Methamphetamine (manufacture) with a firearm, a Class A felony, Possession of Precursors with the Intent to Manufacture with a firearm, a Class C felony, Neglect of a Dependent, a Class D felony and Maintaining a Common Nuisance, a Class D felony. Brown was taken into custody without incident and is being lodged in the Posey County Jail.

“Children being subjected to living in this type of environment is one of the worst side effects of clandestine meth labs,” Rose said. “It will also be a priority of the drug task force to address that type issue and attempt to remove those children from these conditions.”

This was the second major drug arrest in the last two weeks in Posey County.

During the early morning hours of August 2, personnel of the Black Township and Point Township fire departments along with uniformed patrol officers of the Posey County Sheriff’s

Cynthiana clean-up continues, ‘night out’ success

By Valerie Werkmeister A short meeting agenda on August 13, didn’t keep members of the Cynthiana Town Board in their seats long, but they still managed to discuss several topics.

They reviewed the status of several properties that are in violation of the town’s nuisance ordinance. A few of the properties have been abandoned as banks have foreclosed on the previous owners. The banks refuse to maintain the property and until a new owner is able to purchase the property, the town is left with little recourse.

Clerk-Treasurer Greta Mounts was advised by the Posey County Assessor’s office that the former Donald Simpson property at 10900 Church Street does not have an owner.

There may be a potential purchaser, but until then, the town board is forced to just monitor the property.

The property owner of 10965 Highway 65 has not been able to be contacted by phone. Mounts will send a letter informing them they are in violation of the nuisance ordinance and must clean up their property to avoid fines or penalties.

While some progress has been made on the property at 10260 Whiting Street, board members felt more work needs to be done. Mounts will send another letter to the property owner.

Mounts informed council members that a new grant cycle has begun for the Posey County Community Foundation. The town can apply for an amount up to $5,000. The application must be turned in by September 20.

Town Marshal Andy Porath questioned whether contact could be made with the owner of the mobile home park. There are four mobile homes within the park, three of which are va-

cant. The last occupant is expected to relocate within the next few weeks. The board hopes that the property will be cleaned and the mobile homes will be removed. Mounts will send a letter to the park owner to gain insight to his plans.

Porath and town board members commented they were pleased with the successful turnout for the National Night Out event held in Cynthiana a few weeks ago. Sheriff Greg Oeth stated there were 400 sandwiches served and the event has grown bigger each year.

Posey County Commissioner Carl Schmitz attended the meeting to offer his assistance to the town. He stated he would like to see an industrial park in the town to help provide more jobs for area residents.

The next monthly meeting will be Tuesday, September 10, at 6 p.m. in the town hall.

Shortage of volunteer firemen becomes critical in Poseyville

By Valerie Werkmeister A house catches on fire in Poseyville and the homeowners dial 911 for help. Yet, no help ever arrives. Unfortunately, the home is lost and its owners are wondering why no one responded to the call.

Fortunately, this scenario has not happened in Poseyville…yet. It sounds like a nightmare but it could very easily become reality if new volunteer firemen don’t step forward soon.

Jeff Droege of the Poseyville Volunteer Fire Department spoke to Poseyville Town Council members during their August 14, meeting. He stated the department is down to a shocking 12 members with about eight or nine of those being active. Many of those members work full-time day time jobs and are not available to respond to emergency calls.

The PCN

The department has enough room and equipment for 33 members. To be eligible, members must live or work in Poseyville or Robb Township. During the meeting, council members approved one new member. Taylor Wilson works in Poseyville during the day and is able to respond. A new cadet, Logan Martin, was also approved.

Those interested in becoming volunteer firemen can pick up an application at the Poseyville Town Hall or call 874-2713 and leave a message.

Thanks to a generous donation by Larry Marshall Disposal last month, the fire department was able to purchase a new automated external defibrillator or AED. Their old one was in need of a new battery, which carries a $500-$700 price tag. The fire department is

Salon Sixty Six to hold Grand Opening ~ August 24th, 2013 ~

By Dave Pearce There is a new full service Salon open on Highway 66 in Wadesville at the site of the former cell phone store, across from Subway. Kevin and Ruby Geddes are to be thanked.

And they invite the community to celebrate with them on Saturday, August 24 from noon until 3 p.m. Everyone is invited to see the shop, meet the people and enjoy some refreshments. “Ruby is a hair stylist and we have always wanted her to be in the community that we live in,� Geddes said. “We knew we wanted to be in northern Posey County somewhere.�

While it has been a dream of Ruby’s to own a salon, Kevin wasn’t quite so optimistic that it could happen so fast. But both, being North Posey High School graduates, wanted to stay in the area and work. Kevin is a sales representative for JL Farm Equipment but Ruby was having to drive to work in Evansville. But they were both waiting for the right opportunity. “We were down in Arkansas visiting my family and Ruby saw on Facebook that the building at 7269 Highway 66 was coming available and she thought it would be the perfect place for a hair salon,� Geddes said with a smile. “She wanted to call about it right that minute and I didn’t think there was any way we would be able to get the building. But that’s all she could talk about the whole way home.�

But after some soul-searching and a couple of meetings between the owners and the Geddes Family, it was soon to be apparent that Kevin was probably wrong on this one.

And sure enough, on April 1st of this year, Salon 66 opened in the building. “We never really dreamed we would buy it but we ended up buying it,� Geddes said.

Ruby is a graduate of North Posey high School (2006) and of Tri-State Beauty College in Evansville (2007) and worked for over four years in one Evansville salon and two years in another. “I just enjoy the whole business aspect of everything and managing things,� she explained. “I like teaching and managing and continuing to learn. The whole experience has just been great. I wouldn’t do it any other way.�

Ruby is a certified Colorist as well as certified in keratin smoothing treatments. She has continued her education with classes in Louisville and in New York, two times each.

She will be going to Nashville next month.

While Salon 66 was not the only name on the agenda, the girls who were going to be working in the shop sat

down together and decided that would be the name.

Ruby was a Cynthiana resident and was raised primarily by her grandparents, Lloyd and Ruby. Her dad is Cliff Hutchinson. The Hutchinsons have a long history at North Posey as Lloyd was the first principal of North Posey High School. The Hutchinsons still live in Cynthiana.

While Kevin and Ruby had been an item for nine years, it did not become official until June 2, 2012. Kevin is a 2001 North Posey High School graduate.

But Ruby’s ‘dream’ also made other good things happen for the four other girls who work at Salon 66 with her.

Kenzi Motz, Jennifer Nix, Jen Brock, and Carol Schmitt also perform their crafts in the shop. “They have been able to stay pretty busy,� Kevin said. “It has just been an excellent decision. They have had a great welcoming from the community and I have even had people come up to me in the grocery store and thank us for opening a business in the community. That’s a really good feeling when something like that happens. One lady said it was a real joy to go by there and see all the cars there.�

The Geddes family lives between Poseyville and St. Wendel.

All the girls in the shop are excited about being able to work in Posey County and to be a part of something as exciting as a local shop with class.

Carol Schmitt has cut hair in Posey County for 26 years.

She is a graduate of North Posey High School and attended Rodger’s Hair Academy in Evansville. “I had my own business for about 20 years,� Schmitt explained. “Then I got out of it for about a year-and-a-half.

Then when Ruby decided to open a shop here in Wadesville, it is about five minutes from my home. I decided to start to make my way back into the business again. I can go home for lunch and let the dog out and still be back in plenty of time.�

Schmitt said she saw this as a great opportunity for her and appreciates the efforts the Geddes family has made. “This whole situation has been just perfect for me,�

Schmitt said.

Schmitt is the daughter of Pat and Mary Rita Wilson.

She has two children, Heather and Wes Williams.

For cosmetologist and massage therapist Jen Brock, the story was a little different. She had known Ruby and Kevin for several years, first meeting them at church. After earning her degree at the Tri-State Beauty Academy, she was looking for the best situation for herself.

She and Jennifer Nix came into the shop at the same time. Jen had worked with Ruby at one of the shops in

Evansville. “It has just gone wonderfully,� she said. “I want to be at the salon for many years.�

Jen is married to North Posey graduate Jeremy Brock and the two are proud parents to four cats and a dog, all from rescue centers.

Jen specializes in massage and nail art. She has been trained in the art of Ayurvedic Massage, a holistic approach of unity of body, mind, and spirit, originally from India. “I do massage, facials, pedicures, and massage,� she explained. “I have a small office there in the shop.�

Brock is proud to be a parishioner at St. Xavier in Poseyville.

Jennifer Nix is also a North Posey High School graduate. She is a 2009 graduate and after graduation from Salon Professional Academy, she found out that her friend Ruby Geddes was trying to open a shop in the Poseyville area. “It was just good timing because we had worked together before,� she said. “I have been there since the beginning of April and it’s been a great decision. I want everyone to see the salon as a nice place to go so they don’t have to drive all the way to Evansville to get what we are able to do right near home.�

Jennifer believes her recent completion of her rigorous education has kept her on the cutting edge of the latest trends in hair design. She is the daughter of Bill and Donna Nix and has two brothers and a sister.

Ruby is happy to have all the girls in the salon. Like any good business person, she knows that success cannot be built by one person. So between the girls and her husband, she believes the shop will help her achieve even more of her life-long dream of owning a successful salon.

The Salon is generally open from around 8:30 a.m. until 8 or 9 p.m., depending on appointments. But walk-ins are definitely welcome. However, Geddes would rather work by appointment so she can allot necessary time to complete her job to the customer’s satisfaction and not have anyone sitting waiting for long periods. “I often remind Kevin that he was one of those people who said ‘we are never going to get the building,’� Ruby said with a hearty laugh. “But now we have it and my dream has come true.�

Internship program, fostering student’s awareness of international issues through cultural immersion. The New Harmony/New Lanark internship furthers the relationship between the historic sites, which are connected through the life and work of Robert Owen.

Caylin’s work in New Lanark focused on further development of the New Lanark Search Room. This facility provides access to the resources available to visitors to New Lanark, and better connects these resources to the resources of New Harmony and USI. Given Caylin’s PR background, he worked as well with the Marketing, Hotel, and Visitor Center teams.

Caylin was also able to work with a major exhibit set-up and on consultations taking place.

Caylin took full advantage

of the opportunities presented to him, spending his free time traveling and getting to know the people and places of Scotland and the surrounding region.

The Global Engagement Internship in New Lanark is a wonderful opportunity for a student to live and work at a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a strong connection to USI’s programs in New Harmony. The internship is one component of a dynamic relationship between New Lanark and New Harmony which holds great potential for student and faculty engagement.

Historic New Harmony is a unified program of the University of Southern Indiana and Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites. For more information, www.usi.edu/ hnh. To learn more about New Lanark, www.newlanark.org.

‘Crime Spree’ continued from Page A1 Davidson is the suspect of her kidnapping and death. Burkhardt’s body was found in a cornfield, one mile west of Crossville.

An autopsy report confirms an initial cause of death to be four gun shot wounds.

The White County State’s Attorney has filed one preliminary charge of first degree murder against Davidson. His bond is set at $2 million. Davidson is expected to make a first appearance in court on Monday.

Earlier on Saturday, Davidson was arrested in Indiana on local charges of criminal confinement, battery with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery, and serious violent felon in possession of a firearm.

Mount Vernon, Ind., police say shortly before 7 a.m., Davidson held captive a 19-year-old woman inside a stolen vehicle, where he shot at her. She was able to eventually escape to a local gas station.

Burkhardt was last seen Friday night leaving a store in Princeton with a grandchild. Burkhardt’s daughter went to her home around 11 p.m. and found the child there, but Burkhardt’s silver 2012 Ford Focus gone. The child was not injured.

The daughter then filed a missing person report and Gibson County Sheriff deputies began a search. Davidson is a former resident of Crossville who more recently had been living near Burkhardt’s rural home.

Davidson initially was jailed in Posey County where a warrant was issued for him earlier Saturday in connection with a shooting in Mount Vernon. A man matching Davidson’s description fired two shots from inside a car matching Burkhardt’s and battered an unidentified woman, Ballard said. No other details were immediately available.

A man who lived near the southwest Indiana woman last seen leaving a grocery store showed police where the woman’s car had crashed and has been arrested, authorities said.

Burkhardt had last been seen Friday night leaving the Princeton Walmart where she allegedly worked, with a grandchild. Her daughter told Indiana authorities she found the grandchild asleep at Burkhardt’s home but the woman and her car were missing.

Around 8 a.m. Saturday, a 2012 silver Ford Focus was spotted at the scene of a shooting in Mount Vernon. A man matching Davidson’s description fired two shots from inside the Focus and battered an unidentified woman.

Indiana State Police joined the investigation and law enforcement continued searching for Burkhardt and her car.

The trail led them to Pike County, where a man driving a silver car and matching Davidson’s description burgled a home around 10:30 a.m., Ballard said. The trail then led to a Warrick County burglary and a theft in Winslow, Ind. Later that afternoon, officers found a white SUV and Davidson surrendered.

He had a 9 mm handgun in his waistband, Ballard said.

Davidson allegedly admitted his actions to police. And after the arrest, Davidson took the deputies to the missing woman’s car, which he said he had been driving, according to Gibson County Sheriff George Ballard. He was then transferred to the White County Jail in Illinois.

Davidson was taken to Posey County Jail on charges of aggravated battery from the shooting, Ballard said. He was held in lieu of $400,000 bail.

‘Drug Dealing’ continued from Page A1 Department responded to a report of a fire in the 2700 block of Zoar Church Road in rural Posey County. A detached garage had burned down at the property site which belonged to Glenn E. Reich.

After arriving on scene, sheriff’s department deputies observed items they believed to be meth lab related. Additional detectives of the Posey County Drug Task Force and Posey County Sheriff’s Department were summoned after which time a search warrant was obtained for the property site. No persons were present when police and fire units arrived in response to the fire run.

During the execution of the search warrant, officers discovered an active clandestine methamphetamine laboratory inside the house and in other areas of the property site. The property owner could not be located at the time.

Following a 12-day investigation by the

Posey County Drug Task Force, they were able to obtain an arrest warrant for Glenn E. Reich, age 49, of Posey County. During the afternoon hours of August 13, drug task force personnel and deputies of the Posey County Sheriff’s Department located Glenn Reich on East Second Street in Mount Vernon, at which time he was taken into custody without incident.

Reich was charged with Count 1-Dealing in Methamphetamine (manufacture) a Class B Felony, Count 2-Illegal Possession of Anhydrous Ammonia a Class D Felony, Count 3-Possession of Precursors a Class D Felony and Count 4-Maintaining a Common Nuisance a Class D Felony. Reich was transported to and lodged in the Posey County Jail under a $200,000 surety/$20,000 cash bond.

An investigation by the drug task force is continuing.

Council members have noticed there are many underage drivers in golf carts lately. They would like to remind citizens that only those with valid driver’s licenses may drive golf carts on city streets.

Council members approved an amendment to their abandoned vehicles ordinance. The new ordinance #2013-08-14-01, increases towing charge fees up to $200 and storage fees of $25 per day.

They also approved ordinance #2013-08-14-02 that updated verbiage for insurance coverage for town employees 65 years of age and older. Medicare Part B and D will be covered by the town if the employee continues working past the age of 65.

In a previous meeting, council members approved the establishment of the

Wabash Port Authority. It is a joint board in conjunction with the towns of Owensville and Cynthiana. If grant funds become available for the extension of utilities or rail transportation within the port authority region, the establishment of the board makes them eligible to apply for the funds.

Town board members Ron Fallowfield, Bruce Baker and Steve Ahrens will represent Poseyville on the port authority. The Town of Owensville must appoint three members and together, both towns will choose a representative from Cynthiana to serve on the board.

Board members discussed adding penalties to an ordinance which established distinct loading zones within Poseyville. Town Marshal Doug Saltzman suggested a specific fine and times be designated for the loading zone areas. Violators will have to pay those fines.

Members agreed to attorney William H. Bender review the ordinance to set the fines and times.

Council members approved an $18,000 expenditure to pave and grade Wash-

ington Avenue. D.K. Parker Construction will perform the work.

They also gave their approval to spend approximately $12,000 to clean up the former railroad property that winds through town.

Railroad ties, debris and weeds have left the property unsafe and unsightly. Letters to the railroad company owner, Illinois Southwest Railroad, have not been answered.

Baker stated they felt they had allowed enough time for the former railroad to clean up the property. It is apparent that although the railroad still owns the property and refuses to sell it, they also refuse to clean it up.

“We think for the welfare of the town, we need to do something,” Baker said.

Although applying a lien on the railroad property for the cost of the clean-up is an option, council members felt it may be a moot point. The former railroad company was having financial difficulty and the steel was reclaimed in order to be sold as scrap.

The next meeting will be Wednesday, September 11, at 4:30 p.m. in the town hall.

BUSINESS Bishop Thompson to be featured speaker

Bishop Charles C. Thompson, Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Evansville, will be the featured speaker at the United Way of Posey County Leadership Giving Recognition Dinner on August 27th at 6:30 P.M. at the Mount Vernon High School Cafeteria.

Bishop Thompson was ordained and installed on June 29, 2011 as the Fifth Bishop of the Diocese of Evansville, a 12-county area of southwestern Indiana with a population that includes 85,000 Catholics.

Bishop Thompson came to Indiana from the Archdiocese of Louisville. His background includes accounting and canon law; his priestly ministry of almost 25 years included parish, high school and top archdiocesan responsibilities.

Southern Indiana is also part of his background, gained through his years as a student and later as a visiting professor at St. Meinrad Seminary.

Charles Coleman Thompson was born April 11, 1961, in Marion County, Kentucky, part of the area around Bardstown that is known familiarly as the “Kentucky Holy Land” because of its prominent Catholic population. He is the son of Coleman and Joyce Thompson. He has a sister, Lori Wilson, and a brother, Kenny.

Father Thompson was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Louisville

Bishop Charles C. Thompson in 1987.

By that time he had already earned a degree in Accounting from Bellarmine University in Louisville and a Master of Divinity degree from St. Meinrad Seminary.

He subsequently earned a Master’s Degree in Canon Law from St. Paul University in Ottawa, Canada, in 1992.

After completing his canon law degree he served the Archdiocese of Louisville as Metropolitan Judicial Vicar and Director of Tribunals, from 1993 to 1998.

As a priest of the Archdiocese of Louisville Father Thompson served parishes in Bardstown, Lebanon and Louisville and as chaplain at Catholic high schools in Bardstown and Louisville.

Most recently, he was pastor of Holy Trinity Parish in Louisville, 2002-2011; visiting professor of canon law at St. Meinrad School of Theology, 2002-2011; and chaplain at Sacred Heart Academy in Louisville,

2004 to 2011.

In 2008, Archbishop Joseph Kurtz appointed him Vicar General of the Archdiocese, the top position next to the archbishop, while he continued in his parish, high school chaplaincy and seminary teaching responsibilities.

OPINION

Hoarding... or simply preserving family traditions, memories As you know, I finally did the big rummage sale. I know that you and some of your friends enjoyed poking through some of the tables, and found a couple of little things to take home.

I couldn’t have done it without a lot of help, and really appreciated your Aunt Heather, and all the long hours and work she contributed, as well as your Uncle Todd and Aunt Sheri.

But having a big sale like this is about a lot of things, far more than just making a few dollars. First of all, it forces people to clean out closets and to drag out other obsolete items from storage.

And, especially for me, after finding out how much work goes into getting rid of unwanted items, one thinks twice about acquiring them in the first place.

My friends and children frequently mention that I belong on that television show, ‘Hoarders.’ Well, I really don’t have quite that kind of habit, but I do have a hard time letting go of things.

Madeleine, remember that I lived with your great-great grandparents, Herbert and Stella, when I was growing

up, and their values rubbed off on me. They had survived the Great Depression

DEAR MADELEINE

BY CATHY POWERS

of the 1930’s, and WWII, when many things were in short supply, so they did not throw things away like most people do today.

Instead of just discarding a piece of clothing that was no longer wanted, my grandmother cut the buttons off, and made quilt pieces out of the fabric. Glass jars were saved to fill with homemade jellies. It still feels wrong to me when I throw away a jar. I can remember sharpening pencils down so far that it was hard to hold them.

Even though I know that it is much easier to replace things now, it is very difficult to stop hanging onto many things. It just feels wasteful and wrong.

So, if it is that challenging for me to dispose of a

shirt that I really only paid a couple of dollars for, at someone else’s yard sale, imagine the stress that I feel letting old family items go.

Your Aunt Heather and I have been storing many items that belonged to your Great-Grandmother, Lucile.

She was Grandpa Don’s mother. Lucile was a very proper southern lady and I will never forget traveling over to Owensboro, Kentucky, to visit her. We ate Sunday dinners on immaculate white linen tablecloths, enjoyed her delicious meals with real silver flatware, and sipped sweet tea out of Fosteria Glass tumblers.

Many of those items were in my sale, and putting them out for others to carry home was very sad.

Lucile ended up spending the last years of her life in Florida, and we cleaned out her small home way back in 2001. Only a few small select items went with her.

It has all been boxed up since then. Family members picked out some things to keep, but, so sadly, this generation does not wash, starch, and iron white linen.

Large family gatherings

are now made easier by the use of disposable plates, cups, and so on. I can’t even imagine the weekly washing and ironing of real cloth napkins. But I am so glad that I was able to enjoy those nice things in Lucile’s home.

So, not only was I selling odds and ends, I was selling family memories, and, yes, Madeleine, it was hard to do. I hope to describe those times to you and your brother and sister, and give you a glimpse of how things were such a few years ago.

Your grandfather and I celebrated our 48th anniversary on August 21, and in the first years of our marriage, we had to buy things at auctions, and so on.

School teachers made under five thousand dollars a year, and every penny counted.

Many of those items, such as the solid brass bed we bought for only a few dol-

lars, are now important items to keep. We worked for months to remove four layers of enamel paint from that bed.

So, dear Madeleine, when you hear your parents make comments about my ‘hoarding,’ maybe you will understand why I am prone to keep things. I, of course, still have many family ‘treasures,’ and I hope you will keep some of them, and tell your children where they

came from. When you hold some of these things, think back on the other hands that lovingly took care of them, back through the years.

Times and generations change and all too often, both values and memories are lost. Please just remember some if it; eat off a plate that held your great-grandmother’s morning toast, and sit in her chair. She will be smiling someplace to see you do that.

Guest Column State Rep. Wendy McNamara Rep. Wendy McNamara congratulates CF Industries on being recognized for their outstanding worker protection. Indiana Department of Labor Commissioner, Sean Keefer, recognized CF Industries as a Voluntary Protection Program site.

It is my privilege to congratulate CF Industries in their efforts to go above and beyond in providing and implementing high standards for worker safety. I am proud to know, that through their proactive leadership, our community is raising the standards for workplace

safety,” said Rep. McNamara.

Created in 1982, OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) recognizes and partner with businesses and worksites that show excellence in occupational safety and health. Sites are committed to effective employee protection beyond the requirements of OSHA standards.

VPP Participants develop and implement systems to effectively identify, evaluate, prevent and control occupational hazards to prevent employee injuries and

illnesses. As a result, the average VPP worksite has a lost workday incidence rate more than 50 percent below the average of its industry. In return, OSHA removes participants from programmed inspection lists.

“As Indiana’s economy continues to grow, it is imperative that Hoosier workers are able to safely build their lives in a high quality job,” said Rep. McNamara.

“Through companies like CF Industries, innovations in job safety will continue to make Indiana a leader in job creation.”

Chapter 2 - The Girl at the Duncan Hotel Julia Lookout and Frank Mc Donald walked from the open back porch down the high steps and around Julia’s large sandstone home to Frank’s car. Julia had suggested it would be better if Frank did not talk to Chief Lookout again until the next evening. She planned to fix Fred’s favorite meal of rib eye steak and Indian fry bread with homemade apple butter. And the peyote gourd rattle would be hard to get by Fred.

Frank thanked Julia who said, “Young man, plan for tomorrow as you would for your team to play a big game. Fred has become skeptical of white strangers proposing ways for the Osages to spend money.

Concentrate on how your exhibition football game will benefit the tribe, not Haskell Indian Institute or anyone else.”

Mc Donald slowly drove back to Pawhuska with the ceremonial rattle beside his right thigh. He noted the swastika painted in red in the center of the deerskin covered gourd. There were four red dots, one within each section of the left facing design. The swastika reminded Frank of a bird in flight.

The rattle seemed to follow Frank’s gaze when he would glance away from the dirt road to examine it.

He felt uneasy alone with this religious symbol miles from town surrounded by prairie. The setting August sun blazed into his eyes that watered as he forced himself to look away from the colorful object so he could avoid the ubiquitous sand rocks in the road.

Frank parked his rented 1924 Ford on Osage Street beside the new Duncan Hotel in Pawhuska. He could see Kiheka (Chief in the Osage language) Avenue running on both sides of the new seven story trian-

gle building in the heart of the town. The county seat gushed with prosperity, en-

GAVEL GAMUT

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE ergy and opportunity.

Charles and George Duncan had built their hotel only fourteen years earlier and had to recently expand it with an even more ostentatious addition just last year. The granite entry portico with imported marble flooring accented by an intricate pattern of inlaid ceramic tile spoke of deals to be concocted and fortunes to be made, or lost.

Mc Donald could sense his own excitement and realized Julia’s admonishment was necessary.

Mc Donald took the ceremonial rattle with him and decided to eat supper in the ornate hotel dining room before going to his third floor room. The Negro waiter who was dressed in white livery seated Frank at a small round table facing the atrium filled with plants and flowers that appeared to have been selected because they had no connection to Oklahoma.

Frank ordered a chicken fried steak sandwich and a glass of water. He placed the peyote rattle across from him as though it were a companion.

“That is a marvelous symbol of Wa-kon-ta. May I ask where you found it?”

Frank looked up to see an Indian woman with long black hair wearing a red and white flapper type dress with black lace trim.

She was about five feet tall and looked to still be in her teens. Frank stared at her blankly as he struggled to get to his feet.

“Uh, yes, I mean, that

is, it was a gift, but not for me. I mean, it is for me, but to give away. Do I know you?”

“Of course not, we just met. May I sit down?” As she spoke, she sat down with the confidence that she would be welcome.

“Would you like to buy me a drink?”

“I don’t drink.”

“Well, you must get very thirsty. How about a CocaCola then?”

Frank called the waiter and ordered two CocaColas in the new contour bottles.

“Are you staying at the Duncan? I work here from time to time. Tonight I am just relaxing and looking for conversation. If you don’t drink, do you talk?

We could discuss your nongift, gift if you like. Do you understand what the symbols mean?”

“Chief Lookout’s wife, Julia, told me the beads were in a stylized eagle pattern, but I imagine there is much more to know.”

“Oh, Chief Lookout; you must be somebody. And Julia, on a first name basis already.”

“It’s not what you may think. I just met them today.

The rattle is to be given to the Chief tomorrow. But, if I may ask, what is it to you?”

“Actually, I am Cheyenne and we and the Osages were traditional enemies.

You may know the Osages scouted for Custer when he tracked down Chief Black Kettle of the Cheyenne at the Battle of the Washita.

However, that was long ago. Now we are more sanguine in our relationships.

Let me tell you about the rattle. Oh, my name is Raven. It used to be Raven That Sings, but that became a bit cumbersome at school.

And you are?”

“Frank, Frank Mc Donald. Please enlighten me.”

Coal and oil are dirty. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Handle oil or coal and you will have to take a shower. We have burned millions of barrels of oil and millions of tons of coal. It is a no-brainer that for many years we have been dirtying up the planet.

Are we melting the Artic?

Are we altering weather patterns that are causing horrific storms that pound the United States and the rest of the world?

Carbon dioxide emissions are being pumped into the atmosphere as a result of three main culprits. These three main culprits are the generation of electricity, transportation and industry.

I do not know of anyone who wants to give up any of the three. Since we enjoy what each one of them gives to us then we must work to make them better and cleaner. If we were all freezing to death and someone offered us a ton of coal to warm up our house we would not turn it down.

We must become energy independent but we have work to do. Independence is not solely someone else's job. Most Americans are tired of being dependent on other parts of the world for our energy. We need to get out of the Middle East.

Utilizing our own energy is the path to independence.

Becoming energy indepen-

dent means using oil, coal, natural gas, wind and solar energy. We cannot become energy independent today by cutting coal out of the mix. However, more power plants are switching to natural gas. Mines are closing throughout the coal mining regions of our country because natural gas is cheaper and plentiful. Power plants are using more and more natural gas, creating a diminishing demand for coal.

Mountaintop removal for coal mining is not popular.

Blasting away the Appalachian Mountains fills up valleys with coal sludge.

This sludge seeps into water supplies, killing fish and wildlife and poisoning the water supply. In 2000, Martin county Kentucky experienced a coal sludge break created by Massey Coal reeking disaster for Eastern Kentucky. The coal slurry spill disaster created an environmental sludge that filled two tributaries and eventually poured into the Tug and Ohio rivers.

The sludge was 30 times environmentally worse than the Exxon Valdez oil spill.

It is considered one of the worst environmental disasters ever in the southeastern part of the United States.1 Energy independence is not an excuse to abuse our planet and ignore events like the Martin county sludge spill and Kingston Fos-

sil Plant coal fly ash slurry spill that happened in 2008 in Tennessee. These events remind us that the burden is not only on the power plants to burn clean energy but also on those who mine the fossil fuels.

It only makes sense to burn and mine coal cleaner.

This is a huge burden on the power plants and coal operators of America. The reports are that we are making progress but there is a lot more work to do.

I have always been a fan of coal, because coal mining fed our family. If coal usage further declines, the economy in West Virginia and East Kentucky will continue to be devastated. However, crying economy and jobs will not solve this problem.

The way to turn the coal industry around is to find solutions to cleaner mining and cleaner power plants.

The demand for cleaner energy is here to stay. People are not going to talk less about clean energy. The EPA and environmental groups across the country are here to stay. Governmental leaders are listening to these groups and not just the owners of fossil fuel companies.

Letters to the Editor 50 Years of secrecy ‘The Senate’s top tax writers have promised their colleagues 50 years worth of secrecy in exchange for suggestions on what deductions and credits to preserve in tax reform.’ This is the opening sentence in a piece published by The Hill, a Washington DC on-line newspaper.

Re-read that first sentence.

Our senate is so corrupt its members don’t want their name connected with the sordid ‘tax deals’ they have made in the past. It can’t be because they would be embarrassed or ashamed.

They are incapable of such. They are afraid that we, their voting constituents, might find out just who the corrupt SOBs are and vote them out.

Many congressmen are so intoxicated on the

power that comes with the IRS and the tax code the congress doesn’t govern effectively.

This couldn’t happen if the FairTax Act were adopted. This proposed tax legislation has been before congress for over 10 years but never even considered. With the FairTax there are No Loop Holes; absolutely no opportunity for ‘crooked deals’ by elected congressmen. Its passage would annihilate the IRS too.

Educate yourself about the FairTax. Contact your congressman; demand its passage.

The corrupt congress is bringing our nation to ruin.

Any defense to the application for judgment must be filed with the Posey County Circuit Court and served on the county auditor and treasurer before 9/17/2013. The court will set a date for a hearing at least seven (7) days before the advertised date of sale and the court will determine any defenses to the application for judgment at the hearing. The county auditor and the county treasurer are entitled to receive all pleadings, motions, petitions, and other filings related to the defense to the application for judgment.

Such sale will be held on 10/4/2013 at the Hovey House, Commissioners’ Room and that sale will continue until all tracts and real property have been offered for sale.

Property will not be sold for an amount which is less than the sum of: (A) the delinquent taxes and special assessments on each tract or item of real property; and (B) the taxes and special assessments on the real property that are due and payable in the year of the sale, whether or not they are delinquent; and (C) all penalties due on the delinquencies, and (D) an amount prescribed by the county auditor that equals the sum of: (1) twenty-five($25) for postage and publication costs; and (2) any other costs incurred by the county that are directly attributable to the tax sale; and (E) any unpaid costs due under IC 6-1.1-24-2(b) from a prior tax sale; and No property listed below shall be sold if, at any time before the sale, the Total Amount for Judgment is paid in full. If the real property is sold in the tax sale, the amount required to redeem such property will be 110% of the minimum bid for which the tract or real property was offered at the time of sale, as required by IC 6-1.1-24-5 if redeemed not more than six (6) months after the date of sale, or 115% of the minimum bid for which the tract or real property was offered at the time of sale, as required by IC 6-1.1-24-5 if redeemed more than six (6) months after the date of sale, plus the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the minimum bid on the real property plus ten percent (10%) per annum on the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the minimum bid on the property. All taxes and special assessments upon the property paid by the purchaser subsequent to the sale, plus 10% per annum interest on those taxes and special assessments, will also be required to be paid to redeem such property.

In addition, IC 6-1.1-25-2 (e) states the total amount required for redemption may include the following costs incurred and paid by the purchaser or the purchaser’s assignee or the county before redemption: (1) The attorney’s fees and cost of giving notice under IC 6-1.1-25-4.5.

If the tract or item of real property is sold for an amount more than the minimum bid and the property is not redeemed, the owner of record of the property who is divested of ownership at the time the tax deed is issued may have a right to the tax sale surplus.

The Auditor and Treasurer specifically reserve the right to withhold from the sale any parcel which has been listed in error, or which otherwise becomes ineligible for sale either prior to 10/4/2013 or during the duration of the sale.

This notice of real property tax sale, and the tax sale itself are undertaken and will be conducted pursuant to the requirements of the laws of the State of Indiana which regulate the sale of land for delinquent taxes, pursuant to I.C. 6-1.1-24-1 et seq.

The County does not warrant the accuracy of the street address or common description of the property, and a misstatement in the key number or street address does not invalidate an otherwise valid sale.

Mount Vernon Football seeks to improve with age

By Steven Kochersperger Can you feel it? Football is in the air and the excitement is building as the High School season swings into action this week. For many this is much like a great holiday as the anticipation builds and fans, coaches, and players wonder what might be ahead for them this year. The beginning of a new season is a great time for teams to wipe the slate clean and start the year setting goals and dreaming big.

And while the Mount Vernon Wildcat football team has been hard at work practicing and preparing for their opener with Tell City this Friday at home, the team is not getting ahead of themselves. The team has set some goals, as is tradition for the senior class to do, but head coach Paul Maier is keeping his team humble telling his players to set the individual goal of getting better each day.

“We’ve done a lot of thing really well in this preseason,” coach Maier said. “I’m really happy with where our run game is right now as well as our team defense. There is still a lot we need to work on and we hope to work those things out during the scrimmage and as the season goes on. I’m telling these guys every day to get better each time they come out to play. If we can function at that level and mentality we are going to reach any goal we set and have a great season.”

For Maier this ‘improve every day’ mentality is comparable to losing weight. “If you lose just one pound a week it might not look like you are headed anywhere anytime soon,” Maier said. “But if you add up a whole year of that it ends up being 52 pounds and that is a lot for one person. That’s the way we are approaching this season.”

And for any football team winning begins on the defensive side of the ball. Coach Maier is happy with the way the defense has looked this off season but says that there is still room for improvement. This is especially true at linebacker. Whoever is plugged into the linebacker role must step up and stop the run that is very prevalent in High School football, especially in the Big Eight conference.

On the offensive side of the ball it always starts with the skill players. Last season the Wildcats looked to freshman Riley Snodgrass at quarterback and it was working for Mount Vernon until Snodgrass went down with an arm injury. From there the team went to several different quarterbacks and most of those are returning once again with experience under their belt. Now a sophomore, Snodgrass has won the starting quarterback battle with Kaleb Grabert and freshman Cam Maier waiting in the wings.

Austin Guthrie returns and looks to be the main load carrier for the running backs this season. But there are several others that the Wildcats can turn to in carrying the ball and that has led coach Maier to feel very safe and secure in the backfield.

Overall this team continues to be a very young team.

And depending on how you look at it, the youthfulness of a team can either be a good thing or a negative thing. Either way, this season the Wildcat football team will need the young players to step up in order to be successful.

“We expect a lot from our young guys,” coach Maier said.” A lot of our key players are sophomores or juniors and while we have a great class of seniors we really need our young players to step up this year.”

This year’s roster features eight seniors. Those eight seniors have worked hard for the past four years and are hoping to bring Mount Vernon a successful season in the win column and in the sectional as well.

For the team to have a successful season they must treat every single week as the most important game of the year. This year the schedule features a home opener with Tell City before welcoming cross county rival North Posey. The Vikings have won the last two meetings and three of the last four giving Mount Vernon the extra motivation to be ready when they come to town this year. The schedule also features Big Eight matchups with Mount Carmel, who has beaten the Cats four years in a row, and home dates with Vincennes Lincoln and Princeton. This season the Cats take a long road trip and will play South Putnam on October 4 as well. This is a game that replaces Mater Dei on the schedule after the SIAC changed its scheduling rules moving Mount Vernon off the Mater Dei schedule.

And while there may be questions as well as anticipation building for this new season, everyone in Mount Vernon seems ready to play. This is especially true of all the players. Good luck Wildcats.

This by sheer determination or season the Wildcat lady golf understanding the way it is team returns two players who in other sports. And while the competed at the beginning Mount Vernon girls’ team has of the year and look to lead seen definite improvement the team this season. Those from a year ago, they still two golfers, Kelsey Moye and feel they have a long way to Hayley Salaman bring their go.

“Many of the girls on our It is Salaman that continues roster just started playing golf to lead the way for the Wildcats in the last two years and we in terms of score in this early are playing teams that have part of the season. Shooting girls who have played since in the early 50’s, on average, they were seven or eight years for both nine hole matchups old.” this week against Signature

school and North High school, Salaman found herself leading the pack on the lady golf team.

Her understanding of the game as well as hard work during the off season has led her to compete week in and week out.

Jessica Robinson returns this season in hopes of showing continuing improvement as well. Robinson came in later in the season last year when the girls team did not have a full roster of players and is still fairly new to the sport. Her determination and hard work make her someone to watch as the Wildcat season moves on.

The rest of the roster features sophomores Jillian Schirtzinger and Katlyn Marshall as well as freshman Chance McClarney.

Schirtzinger pulled in her best game two weeks ago as she led the pack in scoring on her team for the first time as a High School golfer. The Wildcats hope she has more of that in her.

And while most of the girls on the Wildcat team are gaining experience and learning from week to week,

Members of the Mount Vernon girls’ golf team are (from left to right): Assistant coach Travis Wolfe, Chance McClarney, Jessica Robinson, Jillian Schirtzinger, Katlyn Marshall, Hayley Salaman, Kelsey Moye, and Coach David Bell. Photo by Steven Kochersperger head coach Dave Bell says the main goal this season is for the team to get better as they move forward.

“Our goal this season is for the girls to improve each match and each week as the season progresses,” Bell said.

“I want golf to be something they enjoy and take with them into adulthood.”

Helping coach Bell this

season with the team is new assistant Travis Wolfe. Wolfe is a former Mount Vernon High School golfer and has experience coaching as a High School golf coach at Mater Dei. The lady cats lost their two matches this week but look to rebound this week as they play Central at home on Tuesday before heading to Mount

Carmel to take on the Aces and Gibson Southern. The Cats hope to finish their week with the knowledge that they have gotten better which they have set as one of their goals.

The good news for the team, is there is much to learn and gain and every single member of the team is able to attain what they are patient on waiting for.

Good luck this year ladies.

North Posey Boys Tennis wants to continue success

By Dave Pearce The North Posey Viking tennis team made quite a turnaround about mid-season last year. The team took an 0-7 start and went 7-4 to finish the season with a respectable record. In doing so, they upset previously once-beaten Pocket Athletic Conference champion Gibson Southern in the sectional and earned a shot at the Princeton Sectional title.

However, the Tigers had too much and the Vikings had to settle for the runner-up spot.

But this year, despite losing players at critical spots to graduation, coach Brandon Barrett is optimistic about the prospects of a good, perhaps even great team this year. But

he and the team know, it is going to be critical to come ready to play every night at every position.

“I have Reed Gertiesen back and he was two singles last year,” Barrett said of the lanky senior. “He is going to be playing No. 1 singles and he has really improved since last year. He played quite a bit over the summer and he really is a legitimate No. 1 singles player this year.”

That’s good news for a Viking team that will return a solid No. 1 doubles tandem of Griffin Motz and Drake Davenport. But the team lost as many as eight matches last season by a 3-2 score and they will be looking to fill in

some spots with some strong players to prevent that from happening this season. And Barrett believes he has enough weapons. He just has to get them playing in the right spots.

“But after those two positions, I can pretty much go with about eight different line-ups,” Barrett said. “It is coming down to six kids right now that I am looking at to fill the remaining four spots.”

Evan Krohn, a freshman, appears to be headed for a varsity singles spot while Christian Jones, a senior, who played No. 2 doubles last year, could find himself on a singles court or back at No. 2 doubles.

Jacob Bender, who laid out his junior season, is back fighting

for a varsity spot as is Chase into the mode of competition Wildeman and Conner Voegel, much earlier in the season. a sophomore.

first week, the team will play six matches…three duals and the tournament at Washington where they are guaranteed three matches. Then the following week, we have three more matches. That means we will have nine matches in the first two weeks.”

But there is a week during the middle of the season where the team has no matches scheduled and of course, as is always the case with tennis, the weather could be a factor.

“The week off could be good to give them some time to rest up after that first couple of weeks. That could give me a week to tweak my line-up, too,” Barrett said. “And with all the players playing at about the same level, it will give us some depth that we haven’t had before in the event that someone is injured.”

Barrett figures the team to beat in the conference will again probably be Gibson Southern, who graduated no one from last year’s undefeated conference team. But as the Vikings showed in the sectional last year, on a given night, anything can happen.

Pike Central, Southridge, and North Posey could give them a run for their money.

While Marvel admits he is not well-versed in cross country specifically, he does have considerable training in areas that will help him be able to help the team. He has spent considerable time helping athletes in training.

Mount Vernon Boys Tennis looks to continue success

By Steven Kochersperger No one is more excited and hopeful about the start of the new boys’ tennis season than Mount Vernon tennis coach Hunter Stevens. After spending the last three years as an assistant coach Stevens now finds himself as the new head coach of a Wildcat team with a tradition of winning.

The Wildcats are coming off a great year in which they won the sectional for the

second year in a row and are now looking toward a third straight crown.

But in order to do that several things must come together and all the pieces must be in place. “We are a young team this season,” Stevens said. “We lost three great seniors last year and have four or five guys that have no varsity experience on our roster. But the expectations are still there

to come in and compete no matter who we play. We had a great week of first practices and we have a few options to go with in terms of a lineup.

No matter what lineup we end up having I feel we are talented enough to beat anyone we play this season.”

The strength of the team, tennis wise, will be in singles. Playing the number one singles spot this year will be senior Todd Sheffer.

Members of the Mount Vernon boys’ tennis team are (from left to right): Front row: Noah Salaman, Kol Reinitz, Jordan Crabtree, Todd Sheffer; Back row: Head Coach Hunter Stevens, Luke Steinhart, Garrett Kitterman, Hunter Wilson, Luke Rusher, Michael Clark, Brandon McCarty. Photo by Steven Kochersperger

Sheffer played in the number three singles spot last season and proved his worth as a tennis player compiling a very impressive 18-2 record in that spot. “Todd is a very important leader to us,” coach Stevens said. “His leadership has been helpful and he has been helping all the guys on the team in any way he can.” That leadership will trickle down and hopefully pay dividends towards wins on the season.

In the number two singles spot will be sophomore Luke Steinhart. Steinhart played number one doubles as a freshman last year and showed his toughness and competitive spirit all year long. His strong play will also be needed as the Wildcats look for another sectional crown in their trophy case.

The number three singles spot will be held by sophomore Luke Rusher.

Rusher is a first year varsity player who coach Stevens says has not only the athletic ability to be successful on the court but also the drive to win. Rusher is currently nursing an injury and will be unavailable for the first couple matches and so the

Viking seniors’ time to shine

By Dave Pearce The North Posey Vikings enjoyed a perfect 10-0 regular season last year. But that was last year.

This year’s team, under first-year head coach Paul Rynkiewich, is looking to carve it’s own niche in North Posey history. And despite the fact that there are few returning starters from last season, the cupboard is not bare for long-time assistant Rynkiewich.

“We don’t have many starters back…just three,” Rynkiewich said following Friday evening’s scrimmage against Boonville. “But we do have a lot of guys who got time last year. We had a lot of blowouts last year so a lot of them got varsity time on the field, especially late in the games.”

Rykiewich says this year’s senior class is looking forward to stepping to the top of the football food chain.

“They feel like it is their time now,” Rynkiewich said of the senior class. “They had a hard time breaking into the line-up last year with that squad we had. They want to show that they are going to carry on the tradition.”

So Rynkiewich is looking for leadership from his seniors because they realize it is their last time around. So far he hasn’t been disappointed.

“We’re getting good leadership from seniors like Trey Staples, Dallas Glover, Colby Lary on the line, Tyler Adkins at tight end, and Darren O’Risky in the backfield and at linebacker.”

Rynkiewich said he was pleasantly surprised by a few things in he saw his team do against Boonville, and some things he didn’t see them do.

“I was very pleased that we did not turn the ball over at all and we had no offensive penalties,” Rynkiewich said. “In a scrimmage such as this, those are the kinds of things you expect see from the boys. I just think our focus was good. We had ball security and didn’t do anything to hurt ourselves on offense.”

Defensively, the team did give up some scores but according to Rynkiewich, that is not all that surprising, considering there was no scouting and no gameplan done for a team in a scrimmage.

Stepping into Alec Werry’s shoes at quarterback is junior James Marshall, a year-round athlete who seems to be best at football.

“He can do whatever we need him to do,” Rynkiewich said of the junior. “If we need him to run the ball, he can run the ball. He can pass from the pocket and he can get out on the corner and threaten. He’s a smart and poised player. I’m really looking forward to watching him play this year.”

Although Marshall is the top vote-getter at quarterback, junior Aaron Droste showed that he is capable of leading the team during the scrimmage, as did freshman Ethan Morlock.

Rynkiewich said one of his greatest concerns this season is in the area of depth. He was pleasantly

surprised by the play of some of the underclassmen and he and they both know they are going to have to improve if depth is to be achieved.

“Our main concern has been our No. 2 people at a lot of positions but we have some kids who are rising to it,” Rynkiewich said.

The lack of experience. Especially early, means there are a lot of players who are going to be playing both ways.

“It’s a lot of the same names as James Marshall and Bryce Martin will be our defensive ends. Tyler Adkins and Zach Wargel are two people who do have a lot of experience from last year. Darren O’Risky is solid at linebacker and Derek Lindauer put some hits on some people tonight. He is a smart player. He has the capacity to get up there and play some gaps.”

In the backfield, expect Dylan Wright, Lance Inkenbrandt and Darren O’Risky to carry most of the load.

Rynkiewich was impressed with some of the incoming freshmen in Morlock and Isaac Maier, who Rynkiewich said ran the ball quite well in the scrimmage.

“A lot of our freshmen are very solid in their technique and that means our junior high coaches are doing a good job for the program,” the coach said. “They are good tacklers. That is good to see.”

The coach said that this year’s team could be a little faster than a typical North Posey team. And a question that comes to the minds of fans throughout the program…what can they expect to see differently now that there’s a new head coach on the sideline.

“We’re not going to reinvent the wheel or anything like that,” Rynkiewich said with a smile. “I have been a big part of what’s been going on here for 30 years but you always have your nuances from year-to-year. But I am really looking forward to it.”

Most of the pre-season hype has placed Gibson Southern as the team to beat in the conference along with Southridge and you can never count the Heritage Hills Patriots out of the mix. But with the Vikings’ recent record, they have to be taken into consideration when talk comes along about the conference crown.

“You can’t count anyone of them out and you have to add in there Tell City,” Rynkiewich said.

“They have everybody back and they have outstanding running backs. I think everyone is going to have to be ready to play every week, beginning with South Spencer this coming week.”

The Rebels started slow last year but wound up in the championship game of the sectional. They have 14 starters back from last season.

“They are going to come here next week expecting to get a win,” Rynkiewich said. “It’s going to have to be our job to keep them from it.”

Game time at North Posey is 7 p.m.

Wildcats will turn to junior the enthusiasm and love for Hunter Wilson to fill that the game that we often see void. When Rusher returns in new high school players.

Topping that list is Junior Toni Waddell who is a third year varsity letter winner that led the team by being a sectional champion last season.

The team also has three seniors who hope to contribute to the improvement of the team as well. Mackenzie McClarney and Katie McDonald are veteran runners who were consistanly apart of the top five last season. The Wildcats also welcome two senior runners who are brand new to the sport, Braylen Hicks and Ellen Foster. Hicks and Foster are both impressive athletes who has caught the eye of head coach Jackie Maier.

“Ellen Foster has never run cross country in the past but is an outstanding athlete,” Maier said.” We are looking forward to having her and I feel strongly that she will help us a great deal.

Braylen Hicks is also new to the sport. She is an enthusiastic hard worker and I am anxious to see what she can do.”

The team also has four underclassmen this year.

Along with Toni Waddell the junior runners are Abigail Randall, Katie Tucker,

and Ellie Weilbrenner.

Sophomores Emily Keitel, Alyssa Marlowe, and Kelly McCloud along with freshman Savannah Roy look to help the Wildcats on the course this season as well.

Both the girls’ and boys’ teams open the cross country season by traveling to Princeton on Tuesday before running again at Boonville on Saturday.

His experience will help the team to be able to rely on him in a pinch.

Its something the Cats need and something every soccer program dreams of.

The season will begin this year on August 24, well after it usually does for the Wildcat boys. This has not only bought the team more time to prepare but is something coach Kaiser is welcoming. “We are working hard and getting better every practice,” Kaiser said. “The first day of school is usually the first game but now we have an extra week to prepare for our first game. And though things are going slow for us, things are progressing

well as we prepare.”

This preparation time has allowed Mount Vernon to work on technical skills like passing and defense and the team hopes the week will pay off in the long run. And while many are uncertain as to where this season will head, one thing is certain.

This should be one exciting year for the Mount Vernon boys soccer team.

The team will open its season this Saturday as they travel to Heritage Hills. The scheduling has the boys on the road for the first three games of the season before heading home August 31 to take on the always tough Big Eight Conference foe Jasper Wildcats.

With the new girls’ soccer season upon us, no one is itching to get started playing the games that count than new Mount

Vernon High School girls’ soccer coach Kelly Cox. Cox, who took over when Liz Castle resigned, is excited to see all the hard work pay off on the field.

And just like every other new head coach out there, Cox wants to start off the season on a positive note.

And he just might get what he wants.

“I’m itching to get out there and get started,” coach Cox said a few weeks ago.

“We have had a pretty good offseason and I am really looking forward to getting on the field and competing and playing.”

Losing one of the better soccer players to play in Mount Vernon’s history last season in Kate Cox, the Wildcats now look to the future in hopes of building something great within the program.

This season the girls look to play some pretty tough competition as well. This will not only test them as a team but will stretch the players to their limits to be able to find out what kind of team they really can be.

The Wildcats will open the season on Tuesday hosting cross county rival North Posey. The rest of the out of conference schedule has the lady Cats playing the likes of Pike Central, Wood Memorial, Day School, Gibson Southern, Heritage Hills, Central, South Knox, and South Spencer. That’s a pretty good lineup for a young team to go head to head with. The Big Eight Conference itself should test the girls and should help to prepare the team for Sectional play come the end of the season.

But with only one senior and five juniors, leadership has had to come from the top two grades instead of just the typical seniors.

“Maddie Koester and Savannah King are going to have to definitely stand out among that class,” Butrum said. “They played very well for me last year and they have played entirely varsity since their freshman year. They have always been there.”

It is no longer a secret that North Posey is building a soccer program, especially on the girls’ side. As a matter of fact, the Vikings have dropped a weak North Knox team from their scheduled and have added defending state champion Memorial in their place. It is obvious that Butrum would like to help the team move to the next level.

“Sophomores Maddie Pfister, Shelbi Newcomer and Celeste Hill are among a number of girls that are going to really develop out of that group,” Butrum said, already looking to the future.

By Dave Pearce The North Posey High School boys’ soccer team has nearly everyone back from last year’s team. The only exception was probably the best player on the field and team’s all-time leading scorer, Jace Gentil along with fellow senior Cole Simpson.

While the two seniors left a big void to fill, Viking Coach Andy Hines has been around long enough to know that a team is only as strong as its weakest ink. So this year’s team must play together as a team if they hope to improve on last season’s somewhat dismal showing.

But Hines got some unexpected help this season in the form of possibly as many as four foreign exchange students. If the team can gel, that could provide the spark needed for this year’s team to be one of the best in a long time at North Posey.

In a decision made early last week, just a few days before the season opener, Hines decided to take experienced midfielder Reed Heathcotte and put him in goal. Heathcotte, along with fellow senior Jace Brandenstein, have played varsity and travel soccer for many years.

“Usually we need Reed on the field because of depth and experience but the addition of the foreign exchange students will enable us to solidify our defense by having Reed in goal,” Hines said. “We will have more depth this year and should help up keep from giving up as many goals.”

Senior leadership is coming around, according to the coach. Besides the two seniors already mentioned, Jeff Wittgen, Michael Helfert, Ben Blankenberger and Mitchell Heldt will be counted on to lead the team.

Shawn Burks, who nearly lost his arm in a farming accident over the summer, could conceivably play but that is subject to another surgery and evaluations by his doctors.

“If Shawn plays, he will be our starting center because he has started there for a long

Photo by Dave Pearce time but while he is hurt, that position will probably be filled by either Lane or Quentin Fife,” Hines said.

So just what are the prospects for this year’s team.

“From what I have seen so far, we look like we are much better than we were last year,” Hines said optimistically. “At the rate they have been practicing, we might be better than we have been in a very long time.

We’ll see.”

Hines said the key to this year’s season will be the ability to play good defense and cut down on the number of goals allowed. If the team can get a handle on that, everything else should take care of itself.

“We came in the season this year and have established how it is going to be this year because in some past years, we have had some attitude problems,” Hines said. “We have cut some of that out and now we just have to concentrate on playing soccer and getting better. That has made a big difference in our practices and our hard work.”

Hines said his senior class has some good players with great experience and with the foreign exchange students and the help from some of the underclassmen, he believes this team has great potential.

“We have some better players around us (in the seniors and the foreign exchange students) and that is going to do nothing but

help all of us get better,” Hines said. “I think the foreign exchange students have helped take some of the pressure off of some of our seniors.”

The Vikings will again be in the sectional with Gibson Southern but the Titans lost nearly everyone off their PAC Championship team last season. So if the Vikings can pull it all together, they could make a run not only at the conference title but also a sectional crown.

The key, as always on Hines’ teams, is whether the players are willing to sacrifice selfishness for the betterment of the team. If they do, the bar could be set very high for this year’s team.

North Posey Lady Viking Volleyball: A team whose time has come

By Dave Pearce While North Posey volleyball coach Natalie Bernard admits she lost some talented players when last year’s class graduated, particularly in the back row, she will also let you know that the current group of girls have stepped up and are ready to take the next step with North Posey volleyball.

“We had a building year last year and we want to take that year and take another step forward,” Bernard said.

“I’ve got some great seniors this year and I have coached them since junior high. This will be the first class I will have done that for.”

But Bernard’s coaching is not limited to North Posey volleyball. She has had some of this year’s players on her year-round volleyball teams.

This year’s six senior leaders are comprised of Ashley Schorr, Jordan Werry, Marlee Simms, Hannah Harness, Mackenzie Morrow and Emma Werry. At least two of those girls are coming off serious injuries they sustained while playing other sports. Another has already suffered an injury during early volleyball that she is now nursing.

“Ashley hurt her arm during softball but she has been diligent about doing her therapy,” Bernard said.

“Marley just hurt her leg this week. And Emma tore her ACL in basketball and had to have surgery.”

But Bernard says one of the primary reasons for preseason volleyball is to push your body hard and get it ready for the season. And these girls have certainly pushed themselves to be ready.

“Hopefully we can get our injuries out of the way now and not have to worry so much about them later,” Bernard said. “Emma is coming off ACL surgery and she is the epidemy of determination.

She is as good as what she can be and she has pain now and then but she’s a fighter.

That’s one of the things I love about her. I have to ask

her if she is hurting because she would never tell me. We want players like that who work hard all the time but we also want them to tell you when they hurt, too.”

Bernard believes this year’s senior class has stepped into their roles as leaders very well. They realize this is their last time around.

“Hannah is a very quiet person but she is a very big leader on the court,” Bernard said of Harness. “But when she does speak up, everyone listens to her. And Hannah is a lefty so that makes her a threat. Mackenzie Morrow has done a great job as has Marley Sims. They have just all done a great job of stepping up and leading.”

Last year’s class graduated most of the passers… four back row players. So teams will test North Posey, particularly early in the year, as the back row players have seen primarily reserve action and limited varsity time. All four of last years back row players were either varsity starters or saw extensive varsity action.

“I have had to ask some girls who played reserve last year to step up. I plan on using more hitters all the way around. I have Maddie Feldhake and Emma Werry penciled in as my varsity players and they are both doing a great job as far as seeing the court and finding

“Injuries kept us from being able to get them as much experience as we would have liked to last year.”

But the opposition does not feel sorry for the Lady Vikings. Despite a tough schedule, Bernard believes this could be the year that her Vikings break out.

“Luckily, Heritage Hills will not be our first game this year,” Bernard said. “They have always been our first game and it is a conference match. This year, we were

able to get that match moved to further along in the year and we will open with

Castle. Hopefully that is for the good. Against Castle, I just want to go in and get

one strong line-up. I’m still learning the girls and they are still learning me.”

to do this though these three seniors will have to help the younger players and get the team to gel during the year.

The varsity team only welcomes back one junior this season, Andrea Dick. Dick will also be joined by three sophomores who showed not only their athletic ability last season but their drive to win. Those sophomores, Madison Simpson, Ellen Denning, and Alexis Nall all are vital to the success of the lady Wildcat volleyball team. The team welcomes one freshman, Drew McNamara.

McNamara’s size and athletic ability should help her become a force at the net and on defense as the season progresses.

The schedule doesn’t look easy either for the volleyball team as Mount Vernon will see some very familiar faces on the other side of the net.

The Big Eight conference itself looks to be a battle, as it often is, with Jasper returning from its Regional win over the Wildcats last season. The conference battle will be an important one for Mount Vernon as

The schedule also include the always tough New Albany Invitational and Memorial Invite that seems to have several schools with top talent year in and year out. The cats

also find themselves playing the likes of Mater Dei and North, teams that seem to give Mount Vernon fits in years past.

But no matter who the Wildcats find on the other side of the net, team work and a never give up attitude must invade every aspect of their game to be successful.

And with the new coaching staff and other pieces beginning to fall into place, it looks like another promising season ahead for the lady cats.

Mount Vernon will play this week several times. They will host Wood Memorial on Tuesday evening before heading Saturday morning to the Memorial invitational.

Lady Vikings excel early, still have room to improve

By Dave Pearce The North Posey girls’ golf program was expected to struggle this year.

After all, the team’s top two golfers are off to play college golf on scholarships.

But if Kevin Wassmer and golf are combined in any format, never count the team out.

This year’s team, boasting five seniors but only one or two who saw substantial action last year, has surprised watchers with the degree of success they have enjoyed so far.

With an overall record of 23-12, the Lady Vikings have used the leadership of Kendall Crowder and Shelbi Ackerman to carve out two middle-of-the-pack finishes at Gibson Southern and at Washington and a surprise win over the field at last week’s Mount Vernon Invitational. The Vikings defeated Central in a dual match later in the week.

“We finished eighth out of 15 at the Gibson Southern Invite and seventh out of 15 at the

Washington Invite,” Wassmer said. “Then we won at Mount Vernon.

We then beat Central at Helfrich.”

Wassmer knows that senior leaders are critical to the team’s success. The seniors are Kendall Crowder. Shelbi Ackerman, Tay Wassmer, Liz Watzlavik, and Madison Werry.

But with all the success the team has enjoyed in it’s first four years of existence, did Wassmer expect to see the youngsters with this type of record at this point in the season this year?

“Well, to tell the truth, our scores have not been really good,” Wassmer said. “I am proud of what they have done but we are going to have to get a lot better. Obviously we lost the two kids that are playing college golf and we lost Taylor Patton, who played pretty well.

When your No. 4 and No. 5 golfers move up to your No. 1 and No. 2 golfers, it is a big jump for them.”

Crowder has probably

been the most consistent golfer, thus far, this year.

However, Wassmer said that after she shot 84 at one of the invitationals, she has been consistently in the 90s. He knows she is capable of scoring better than that and believes she has a legitimate chance of making it out of the Evansville Sectional with some tweaking.

“She’s getting better and I think we will have a chance at the PAC (conference) meet if we play well,” Wassmer said of this year’s squad. “But we are going to have to continue to get better. We still have a long way to go.”

Wassmer said he has not had a chance for all eight players to play an 18-hole invitational but that all players have played in competitive matches.

“The best part is that everyone is out there trying to improve,” Wassmer said. the five Besides seniors, there are three underclassmen on the team. Sara Watzlavik, Lauren Gibbs and Hannah

“They are working really hard and are starting to hit the ball a lot better,” Wassmer said. “But you know how this game is.

You can’t just pick up the clubs and play three

months and then not play for six months. You have to play this game yearround.”

Although Wassmer believes his team can compete in the conference meet, the sectional could be a different story as last

year’s team didn’t make it out of the sectional and this year’s sectional could be even tougher.

“North is in there and they may be the best team in the state,” Wassmer said. “Our goal is just to continue to get better.”

From a single seed in a farmer’s field to a dinner table halfway across the globe, Cargill brings ideas together to help satisfy the world’s needs.

To get there, we collaborate with customers to create better products and services, streamline supply chains, save energy, reduce costs and move goods to every corner of the planet. We help farmers get higher yields from fewer acres, and store crops so they have greater flexibility in marketing their harvest. We give back to the communities where we do business through continuous efforts to improve nutrition, health and education, and protect natural resources.

Every day, Cargill nourishes people and ideas— in both expected and unexpected ways.
