Work, break leads to arrest It usually takes hard waork and sometimes even a little luck. But eiuther way, while following leads from an August 13 residential burglary on Romaine Road in rural New Harmony, Posey County Sheriff’s Detective Tom Latham was able develop enough information tying the suspect to a second burglary that occurred in July at a rural New Harmony residence on Penfold Road. When executing a search warrant at the home of the suspect on the afternoon of August 16th, Latham then discovered an active Meth Lab. On Thursday, August 16, at approximately 3:34 p.m., Latham, along with other law enforcement officers entered the home of Randy Lee Terrell, at 1019 East North Street, in New Harmony, under the authority of a search warrant issued by a Posey County Judge. During the search of the residence items from the two burglaries were recovered including a window air conditioning unit which was installed and operating in a window of the residence. Multiple items of jewelry were recovered; along with a large wooden jewelry box that had been hidden under wooden panels of the floor. While searching the residence an active Meth Lab was also discovered, necessitating the response of the Posey County Narcotics Unit for proper dismantlement. Randy Lee Terrell was transported from the residence by Posey County Sheriff’s Deputies, to the Posey County Jail where he was lodged. Terrell faces charges of burglary, theft, and the manufacture of methamphetamine. Charging information has been forwarded to the office of the Posey County Prosecutor. Assisting Latham in the investigation were New Harmony Town Marshal Scott Champlin and Ken Rose with the Posey County Narcotics Unit.

By Valerie Werkmeister New faces aren’t the only thing to change at North Elementary School in Poseyville this year. Along with a new principal, new teachers and staff, and the addition of students from the former New Harmony School are the implementation of new federal mandates, namely, RISE – a new way to evaluate educators. This evaluation is not only based on observation of the teachers’ performance while in class, but also by how well students perform on standardized testing such as ISTEP. RISE is the brainchild of the Indiana Department of Education and is structured as a way for administrators to provide useful feedback to teachers for professional growth. It will also be used as a tool to determine performance-based salary increases. According to new principal, Terri Waugaman, while the successes of each classroom depends on the effectiveness of each teacher, the success of the entire school rests on her shoulders. Waugaman replaces former principal, Tim Teel, who chose to return to the classroom. She comes from an administrative position at Longfellow Elementary School in Gary, IN. She has been working as a Title 1 facilitator, literacy coach and professional development coordinator since 2007. Superintendent Dr. Todd Camp stated that when the school board was challenged with the task of finding someone to be knowledgeable in RISE implementation and establishing new reading program criteria, the board unanimously chose Waugaman. “She is our superstar,” Camp said. RISE implementation isn’t the only challenge Waugaman faced. According to Camp, new federal guidelines mandate that all special education students receive instruction in the general classroom. “Gone are the days when the special education students are placed in a separate classroom and those teachers must teach them within their own class,”Waugaman added. The new thinking is that those students will benefit from the be-
North Principal Terri Waugaman havior and support of their peers in the general classroom. Now, the special education teachers will coteach in these classrooms. In order to do this, she was tasked with the tremendous job of changing and adjusting teacher, staff and aide schedules throughout the school. Recess and lunch times changed as well as the number of days per week students will go to gym, art, music and computer. North Elementary also received the distinction of becoming a Title 1 school, whereas before only certain students qualified for Title 1 assistance. Simply put, it means a majority of the students meet poverty-level criteria, thus qualifying for Title 1 federal assistance. The program’s emphasis is to help all disadvantaged children each state academic standards. The funds can be used for instruction, counseling, parent and program involvement. In return, school districts must meet accountability requirements for raising student performance. Camp explained the school corporation has hired four new instructional aides due to the school-wide Title 1 distinction. Scheduling for these aides, in addition to scheduling the special education teachers, has placed an increased challenge for the school’s overall schedule. Waugaman must plug-in time slots for the aides and teachers to cover all the bases. It is for this reason, she explains, that it was necessary to have all of the teachers instructing the same subjects throughout the day.

Jeffery Alan Harper By Dave Pearce A 52-year-old Vincennes man was arrested early Thursday morning on charges of speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol near a Posey County elementary school. Jeffery Alan Harper faces preliminarily charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated with a prior, a class D felony, and operating a vehicle while intoxicated, a Class A misdemeanor. “We have been working
all the school zone hard this week trying to get traffic adjusted to the beginning of the new school year and the fact that school zone speed limits are now back in effect,” Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth said. Indiana State Police and the Posey County Sheriff’s Department arrested Harper around 7:44 a.m. Thursday after he was clocked at driving 83 mph through the school zone in front of Marrs Elementary School, an Indiana State Police news release said. Posey County Deputy Dan Montgomery was patrolling S.R. 62 near the school when he observed Harper’s Dodge Avenger traveling eastbound at a high rate of speed and passing other vehicles. According to the release, the vehicle was stopped and the driver identified himself. While talking to Harper, the release stated a strong
odor of an alcoholic beverage was detected and Harper’s speech was slurred. When officers asked him to exit the vehicle, they observed a beer can between the driver’s seat and the center console, the release said. Further investigation revealed he was legally in-
toxicated. Ironically, After Officer Montgomery had Harper in custody for the traffic offenses, information was received that his vehicle matched the description of a vehicle wanted in connection with a theft at the Huck’s Store in Mount Ver-
non. “The theft information has been forwarded to the Prosecutor, and Harper must deal with that situation as well” according to Oeth. Harper is currently being held on bond in the Posey County Jail.
William and Jordan Ricketts were injured in this crash on Old Highway 69 after colliding with a tree. Both were treated at the hospital for injuries sustained in the crash, none were from the resulting fire. Photo submitted.
Clean-up continues to be hot topic in Cynthiana By Valerie Werkmeister One of the Town of Cynthiana’s biggest assets is its park. Visitors come from throughout the county to have their children or grandchildren play on the massive jungle gym and play area. It is these reasons that brought Cindy Martin, of the Cynthiana Area Recreation and Environment, Inc. (CARE), to ex-
press her dismay to town council members over the recent condition of the park. Martin address the council during a council meeting August 14, and stated she recently observed weeds that were knee-high underneath the playground equipment. She also stated that there are government rules and regulations that
stipulate weed-control in the playground area. She advised that the weeds must be pulled out and cannot be killed with pesticides since children play in that area. She requested that garbage be picked up and questioned why two dead trees had not been removed from the park’s premises. The town’s sole outside employ-

ee, Jason Gee, took offense to the accusations by Martin stating that the park is his first priority each day. He stated he picks up garbage in the park on a daily basis and does his best to keep weeds cut down. He maintained that on the week Martin visited, he was sick and had not had the opportunity to eradicate the weeds.

Changes, from Page 1A Last year, teachers at North were already charged with the task of setting aside 90-minutes of uninterrupted reading time in each class per day. This year, a Response to Instruction Time (RTI) is being added following that 90-minute time block. Waugaman explained that teachers must create literacy stations or centers in which students will work on their reading skills. Waugaman explained that RTI will benefit students because each classroom teacher and instructional aide will be able to work with and listen to the students in smaller groups. It will provide more one-on-one time with each students and the teacher will also gain insight as to the strengths and weaknesses of each student. The teacher will be able to adjust her instruction to fit the needs of each student. Although the reasons for the changes seem simple, it doesn’t mean everyone will willingly embrace the changes. Nor does it mean that all of the schedule changes will run smoothly in the first week. Something unexpected like new kindergarten students adjusting to eating lunch in a specified amount of time and over-extending their specified lunch time can cause a domino-effect of schedule problems for the remainder of the day. Waugaman admits it’s a learning experience and there are still glitches in the scheduling which must be worked out. She also intends to provide additional resources for teachers on how to prepare their lesson plans, create their literacy centers and sees ongoing professional development as one of
the key roles of her job as a principal. She explained that it is not uncommon for teachers to initially fail the first component of the RISE evaluation. While at her former school, she established a peer support group in which teachers could learn from one another’s strengths and weaknesses. She intends to do the same here, but in order to do so, she had to arrange teachers’ schedules accordingly so that same grade-level teachers all had the same planning period. According to Camp, it was ultimately his decision as well as the school board’s, to implement all of the necessary changes at one time instead of in phases. He said that Waugaman has their full support in all of the changes that have been made. Conversely, teachers have stated they have struggled with the number of schedule changes that have been given. Teachers agree on several concerns that they had hoped to bring to the school board’s attention. Some of those concerns have more to do with, what they claim, are Waugaman’s lacking leadership and communication skills than with the actual changes themselves. “We don’t have a problem with the fact that things have to change. We have a problem with not being able to
prepare for these changes. We haven’t been given any direction on how to prepare our lesson plans or what we’re supposed to do in these literacy centers or during the RTI period,” said one teacher. Due to fear of reprimand, many of the teachers asked for their names not to appear in this story. The individuals who came forward to provide information for this story asserted that the problems they discussed were school-wide. Camp affirmed he was contacted by a teacher who asked to have the teachers’ concerns placed on the agenda for the August 13, school board meeting. Camp stated he told the teacher that they needed to determine what their topic for discussion was, and that board meetings would not be utilized for general complaint sessions. He asked them to contact him again when they had determined what they specifically wanted to address. He stated that he was not contacted again regarding the matter. School board meetings at North Posey are structured around a specific agenda. They do not allow time for citizen comments or questions during the meeting, nor are they required to do so by Indiana’s Open Door Law. “We’re used to being part of a team. We’re used to
being part of helping with schedule planning. We don’t have a problem with change at all, we just want to be a part of what’s taking place,” one teacher advised. Other teachers expressed concern as gym and computer time are being reduced from twice a week to once a week. They noted that South Terrace has implemented the same schedules, but is still able to have gym twice a week. “All of our assessment testing is done online. These kids need to be familiar with how a computer works in order to be successful in the testing. There are simpler ways to implement these changes,” the teacher stated. Camp did address the staff via e-mail last week after school had started in regards to some of the teachers’ concerns. He stated, “Please work together as a team to provide positive suggestions to help the team. It is easy to stand in a corner and complain how things are not like they used to be or how you may not like some idea or mandate. No good will come from this behavior except dissention from the team and the disruption of the direction we will and must go.” Working as a team and communicating will be key as the school moves forward in the coming weeks.

Members of the New Harmony Association of Interpreters recently visited the State Museum in Indianapolis. Several of New Harmony's 19th century scientists are featured in a special exhibit, "Science on the Edge," which will be on display at the museum through October 28, 2012. The pioneers of New Harmony were more than just scientists – they were voyagers uncovering the secrets of a newly-born country. “Science on the Edge” looks at this part of American history through an Indiana lens, when the United States was still young, and unexplored frontier stretched west to the ocean.

Seeds of the Sower Four-year-old Mary liked the story, The Three Little Pigs. She begged her father to read it to her every night. One day he taped the story and when she asked him to read it to her he said, “Dear, please turn on the tape recorder. I made a recording especially for you.” “But,” she protested, “it can’t hug me.” When someone wraps their arms around us we feel safe and loved, wanted and important.
By Michael Guido
Love has eyes to see the misery of others, ears to hear the cries of others, feet that hurry to help others, hands that can lift the burdens of others and a heart to feel the pain of others. The Bible urges, “Dear Friends, let us practice loving each other, for love comes from God and those who are loving and kind show that they are the children of God, and that they are getting to know Him better.”

GENERAL NEWS New Poseyville clerk-treasurer Stan Forzey meets the public in Town Council meeting By Valerie Werkmeister A new face greets the public from behind the Poseyville Clerk-Treasurer’s desk. Stan Forzley was formally introduced as the new clerk-treasurer during the Poseyville Town Council meeting August 15. Forzley replaced Nancy Grimes whose resignation was effective July 31. A caucus was held by Posey County Republican leaders who chose Forzley for the position. He began working at the town hall August 1. Forzley is a 20-year Posey County native who has previously worked for AT&T International and the United States Postal Service. He is also a Viet Nam veteran and the author of eight books under the pen name, J.J. Gregory, which he devised by using a combination of his son, John’s, name and his brothers, James and Gregory’s, names. He also has two daughters, Dana and Melissa, and is married to Georgia. Forzley admits that work has been a little hectic so far as he learns the job but added, “I appreciate the opportunity to work with such great people.” Town Marshal Doug Saltzman requested approval to interview and hire an additional deputy. He stated a new session of the police academy is scheduled to begin in October. He would like to have someone in place before that time. Town Council members Bruce Baker, Ron Fallowfield and Steve Ahrens approved the request with the stipulation they would need to review the budget and await their upcoming budget hearing with the Department of Local Government and Finance on August 20. Saltzman also requested the council consider an amendment to the golf cart ordinance regarding registration terms. He reiterated it is not his duty to remind golf cart users when it’s time for registration renewal. He suggested the council consider lengthening the term that the registration is effective. The council agreed to consider
the matter and return in the next meeting with an amendment. The council asked Saltzman for his suggestion on how to resolve the problem with cars in front of North Elementary School dropping off students and blocking the flow of traffic on Fletchall Street. Saltzman suggested a joint meeting with school administrators to try to work out a resolution. Cars are not supposed to park in front of the school during the morning drop-off period. Saltzman stated it is difficult for the rule to be enforced unless someone is outside to do so. He also suggested that traffic may need to be diverted to drop off students while on Church Street rather than Fletchall. Julie Mayo informed the council that a new gas rate went into effect for consumption months of June and July which Poseyville utility patrons received on their July and August billing. The gas rate increased 33 percent over the previous months. Poseyville Volunteer Fire Department Chief Chris Neaveill asked for the council’s approval to reinstate a Ladies’ Auxiliary group for the fire department. The auxiliary will help support the fire department activities and coordinate food or drinks to emergency responders. During times of extreme heat, they will help supply cold water and may even possibly supply food to firefighters who must endure long periods of time responding to an emergency. Neaveill stated that anyone, male or female, can become a member of the auxiliary. They must be 18 years old to apply and a small amount of training in basic first aid and emergency response will be given. Applications are available at the fire station and interested persons are asked to call 8742713 and leave their contact information. A recent lightning strike knocked out the department’s antennae and repeater. Neaveill stated he is waiting on a response from the insurance company for the
claim. A new repeater will assist with the department’s upcoming cost to comply with the narrowbanding mandate. He stated the cost will be significantly reduced since all that J & S Communications will need to do is program the mobile repeater and the truck radios for narrowbanding. Mindy Bourne of the Posey County Area Plan Commission appeared before the council for approval of the consolidated zoning ordinance. The ordinances are now unified under one set of zoning rules that will be consistent in the towns of Mount Vernon, Poseyville, Cynthiana and other unincorporated areas of the county. New Harmony is the only exception as it has its own zoning board and ordinances. The council approved her request. Steve Ahrens will represent the council as the plan commission is set to review the subdivision ordinances throughout the county starting in October. Resolution 2012-8-15-01 was approved for the additional appropriation of $36,500 to pay for vehicle, property and building insurance for the town. Resolution 2012-8-15-02 was approved for various transfers among line items of the budget. The council tabled approval of ordinance 2012-8-15-01 regarding the Fair Housing Ordinance. Baker questioned Attorney William H. Bender why passage was necessary if it was already covered by federal law. Bender will review the ordinance and offer his interpretation at the next meeting. Matthew Nix of Nix Welding requested permission to put a communication line underneath Fletchall Street in order to connect a phone and intercom system as well as set up a computer networking system between his businesses on both sides of the street. Nix stated he had consulted three professionals who had recommended the best approach for the new communication system would be to install it underground un-
derneath the road. Council members expressed concern that a communication line would interfere with the town’s utilities already in place underground, including the storm sewer, gas and sani-
tary sewer lines. The council worried that if the lines ever needed to be dug up for maintenance purposes, it would disturb the communication line. The council diverted their approval until they could
consult with Ken Gorbett, the town’s Gas and Water Operator. The next scheduled meeting will be held on September 12, at 4:30 p.m. in the Poseyville Community Center.

Health insurance benefits may improve as a new agreement with Anthem was approved. Welborn Health Plans will dissolve at the end of this year. The new rate with Anthem is approximately $200,000 less than the current premium rate with Welborn. A one-time reimbursement will be returned to the employees due to the decrease in premiums. The new insurance will go into effect September 1 and end August 31, 2013. In continuation with the trend to save employees time and money in regards to their health, school board members recently approved the addition of a wellness clinic. Employees will be able to utilize the local clinic instead of enduring a drive to Evansville to seek medical attention. An off-site, centrally located building and property was approved with a purchase price of $98,500
during last Monday’s meeting. The building, at 4922A Highway 165 in Wadesville is owned by Tracy and Leighann Stroud and was most recently known as Hair Performance Salon. The 1,000 square foot facility will be remodeled and hopefully operational by December 1. In other business, the board approved: •A request by Camp to advertise the 2013 budget in local newspapers. A special budget hearing will be held August 27, at 6:30 p.m. in the corporation office. •A request by NPJH Principal Steve Kavanaugh to spend approximately $500 in Extracurricular Funds (ECA) to purchase a refrigerator. •A facility use request by St. Francis Catholic Church Relay for Life Team Captain, Jeri Ziliak, to use North Elementary on November 16 and 17 for the annual Christmas bazaar. •A request for the ECA treasurers at the elementary and high school to attend an accounting seminar in Terre Haute on September 13. •A professional leave request for Sandy Horn, Melissa Mahrenholz and Kathy Petrig to attend a special education teacher meeting on August 21.

provider to access those records for themselves or their children. Most Hoosier children are required to be vaccinated against specific infectious diseases, and I know from experience that it can be difficult to keep track of vaccination records over the years. The My Vax Indiana program’s goal is to reduce the burden and costs of office visits, and to help keep Hoosiers’ records in one secure and easily accessible site for your convenience. You can learn more about the program at www.myvaxindiana. in.gov. With school back in session, drivers, please remember to obey all school speed zones and to make a complete stop for school buses. Also, remind your children to look carefully for cars before getting on or off the bus, and to listen to the bus driver’s instructions closely. More tips and information on school bus safety can be found at www.nhtsa.gov and under the ‘Driving Safety’ tab, select ‘School Buses’. Next, if your student is looking for help with math or science homework this year, then you may want to con-
tact Rose Hulman Institute of Technology’s homework hotline. It is a free service, and they will help students in grades 6-12. They offer help Sunday-Thursday from 7 - 10 p.m. (EST) at their toll free number 1-877-ASKROSE (1-877-275-7673), or you may also visit their website at www.askrose.org. Finally, it is important to plan for your children’s future success after high school. With two kids still in high school, my wife and I have been working over the years to plan accordingly. The cost of higher education continues to increase, but you are not alone in planning for the future. The state has two excellent resources that provide tips for exploring your child’s interests and goals after high school and also information on planning to pay for college. For more information I suggest you check out www.in.gov/ learnmoreindiana and www. in.gov/knowhow2go. I hope these tools help you get ready for a great school year and many more to come.

His philosophy is to reduce soil erosion, improve water quality and provide wildlife cover on his Posey County farm. He has planted over 100,000 trees for wildlife. He also has installed wood duck boxes, planted fruit trees, as well as a mix of millet, milo, sunflowers, and beans in areas hard to turn large equipment around in to create wildlife habitat. He has designed, built, and installed many bluebird houses. Robert has already seen ground elevation raise where trees have been planted; slowing down the water during flooding. Photo submitted
Farmers honored at Indiana State Fair Fifty-five farmers were honored yesterday for the work they do to promote soil health and water quality on their Indiana farms. These special Hoosier producers received the prestigious River Friendly Farmer conservation award during ceremonies at the Indiana State Fair. The award is sponsored by theIndiana Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts(IASWCD) and Indiana Farm Bureau, Inc. "We have an impressive group of recipients this year" says Ray McCormick, IASWCD president. "The conservation practices these farmers use improve soil health on their farms not just for themselves but for future generations. Posey County Robert Fehrenbacher's philosophy is to reduce soil erosion, improve water quality and provide wildlife
cover on his Posey County farm. He has planted over 100,000 trees for wildlife. He also has installed wood duck boxes, planted fruit trees, as well as a mix of millet, milo, sunflowers, and beans in areas hard to turn large equipment around in to create wildlife habitat. He has designed, built, and installed many bluebird houses. Robert has already seen ground elevation raise where trees have been planted; slowing down the water during flooding. "Our River Friendly Farmer winners know soil is a complex living ecosystem and we all have an obligation to sustain and improve it. That's what they are doing to conserve our natural resources every day," adds McCormick. The 2012 River Friendly Farmer recipients represent grain, livestock and poultry producers from watersheds
in 40 Indiana counties. They join an elite group of 600 winners since the award was first given in 2000 to Hoosier farmers who use exceptional conservation practices to improve soil health and protect water quality. Additional sponsors of the award include the Indiana State Department of Agriculture Division of Soil Conservation and the the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. Recipients were honored by Lt. Governor Becky Skillman and Indiana Farm Bureau President Don Villwock. Also on hand for yesterday's ceremony was USDA NRCS State Conservationist Jane Hardisty and President Abraham Lincoln (played by Wilbur Tague of Brownsburg, Ind.) who helped celebrate the USDA's 150th anniversary.
Joe and Rick Ziliak (center l to r) of Ziliak Enterprises accept the River Friendly Farmer award at the State Fair on August 15. They along with their brothers Jeff, Mark and Stan farm in the Pigeon Wabash, Big, Black Creek watershed. Their operation consists of corn, wheat and beans. The Ziliaks promote soil health and water quality on their farm through the use of cover crops, waterways, filter strips, WASCOBs, terraces, riparian buffers, and rock chutes. The results have been visibly cleaner water and reduced soil erosion due to their conservation practices. Photo submitted
PC Co-op elects to pay off two years of equity The Posey County Coop Board of Directors has authorized payment of two more years of equity that was issued as part of the Patronage Refund Program in 2003 and 2004. Posey normally pays its members their share of the Association earnings around March 1 every year. 100% of the earnings created by member purchases are returned to the membership in this fashion. For the past 20 years this payment has ranged from 70 to 100% in cash with the balance being deferred to later payment. 20% cash is the required payment. Each August the Board gives consideration to paying off some of the deferred portion. This year
due to the difficulty of cropping created by the drought the Board elected to pay off two years. This is unique to this association as most cooperatives pay much lower percentages in cash at the time of patronage issuance and delay repayment of the deferred portion for substantial periods. Posey continues to be a premier cooperative in the Midwest. Its ability to produce a savings (profit) for the membership and return it to them mostly in cash is seldom matched. Its continuing to be current on paying off deferred equity is even more unique. The cooperative has been able to accomplish this due to the strong and loyal support
of the membership and the efficient management of the company’s operations. Not only has the Co-op been able to produce and return a profit to its members but it has also been able to expand, replace, rebuild, and improve all of its facilities and equipment. The Board of Directors wishes to thank each member for the part they played in this success and to the employees who work so hard to insure continued success. Checks totaling $444,710 will be mailed to each member that purchased supplies during that period. If you would like to know more about the Posey County Co-op and its affiliate companies please call your local office.

By Pam Robinson Responding to filed citizen complaints, the New Harmony Town Council acted on Thursday night to enforce code, specifically sections 8.12.010 and 8.12.020 regarding the accumulation of junk, trash, unlicensed vehicles and overgrown yards at residences. The owner of residential property at 816 Brewery will receive first notice to remove specific items including, but not limited to, a broken, waterlogged couch and broken patio furniture. The owner will have 10 days within receipt of the certified letter to clean up the property before town council takes additional action. Owners of residences at 618 South Street and 623 Murphy Street will receive second and final notice to clean up their properties. The two owners had previously been served notice by the police on June 26 and June 29, 2012, respectively. The notice spelled out how to correct their violation of the town code. According to last night’s discussion, the owner of the 618 South Street residence must remove items including, but not limited to, a broken washer and dryer in the driveway. Discussion indicated the owner of 623 Murphy Street needed to remove items including, but not limited to, an illegally licensed, disintegrating recreational vehicle. Council agreed the two owners must remove items from their property, or officials accompanied by law enforcement will remove the items at the owners’ expense, placing a lien against the properties if necessary to collect expenses. Council will continue to review complaints regarding violations of property maintenance. In other business:
Council voted to amend its Fair Housing Ordinance to conform to new federal policy. The ordinance changed wording to create an all-inclusive definition of family, “regardless of actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identification, or marital status.” The revision complies with federal standards for receiving grant funding. New Harmony resident Rick Johnson spoke on behalf of the Ribeyre Gymnasium Restoration Group, or RGRG, to inform council of renovations starting in the next few weeks to the Ribeyre Gym. These renovations, including a ramp, will make the front of the gym compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA. The work might be finished before Kunstfest in September. Council appointed Martha Raske as an intermittent member of the Charles Ford Home board until the facility receives it non-profit status. Jeanne Maudlin of the New Harmony Parks and Recreation/Tree Board reminded everyone of the 3rd Annual Chili Cook-Off and Arbor Day Celebration. The event will take place Saturday, October 20, at Murphy Park, 3:30 p.m., with chili tasting following at 4 p.m. Chili Cook Team sign-up forms are available at New Harmony Town Hall and online by following the link at www.newharmony-in.gov. Space is limited, and forms must be turned in no later than September 24 to reserve a spot. Patrons of the cook-off may purchase tickets to enjoy delicious chili, peanut butter sandwiches, cookies, chips and beverages. Music and games will also be available. The New Harmony Town Council will meet again Thursday, September 21, 2012, 5 p.m., at New Harmony Town Hall.
United Way Pacesetters lead campaign This year, five local school systems – M.S.D. of Mount Vernon, M.S.D. of North Posey, St. Matthew School, St. Philip School, and St. Wendel School, are Pacesetters for the United Way campaign. They will run their United Way campaign during August and results are announced at the United Way of Posey County campaign kick-off on September 19th. Their early support and enthusiasm will get this year’s campaign off to a good start. Wayne Games, campaign chairman, said “It is very exciting to have all the local schools as Pacesetters. It’s a good time to meet with everyone and it helps our United Way campaign have a good start.” Bob Jones, President and CEO of Old National Bancorp, will be the featured speaker at the United Way of Posey County Leadership Giving Recognition Dinner on August 28th at 6:30 P.M. at the Mount Vernon High School Cafeteria. The United Way of Posey County’s Leadership Giving Recognition Dinner recognizes individuals who contributed $250 or more to become a member of the Leadership Giving Society of the United Way of Posey County. No United Way funds or contributions to the United Way campaign are used for the Dinner. The Dinner is made possible solely through the contributions of the evening’s sponsors: Cargill, Consolidated Grain & Barge Company, CountryMark Cooperative, Inc., CSB State Bank, Fifth Third Bank, First Bank, GAF, Bill and Muriel Gillenwater, McKim’s IGA, Old National Bank, SABIC Innovative Plastics, United Fidelity Bank, Vectren Corporation, and WSI.
This year’s campaign goal is $690,000. Funds raised in the United Way campaign go to support 21 local agencies and more than 75 programs that provide services to the people of Posey County such as Albion Fellows Bacon Center, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Buffalo Trace Council – Boy Scouts of America, Catholic Charities, Children’s Learning Center of Posey County, Christian Church Day Care Center, Community Emergency Assistance, ECHO Community Health Care, Family Matters, Homeless Shelter of Mt. Vernon, Indiana Legal Services, Lampion Center, New Harmony Ministry Association, Posey County Council on Ag-
ing, Posey County Red Cross, Posey County Rehabilitation Services, The Rehabilitation Center, The Salvation Army, Visiting Nurse Association of Southwestern Indiana, WNIN Radio Reading Program, and Willow Tree of Posey County. In addition, the United Way of Posey County funds 2-1-1, the easily-remembered number to call for information and assistance about needs and resources and the new prescription drug discount program. For more information about services provided through the United Way of Posey County or volunteer opportunities available, call 838-3637 or email uwposey@sbcglobal. net.
Aaron Korff, 16, of Poseyville, Ind., received top honors at the 2012 Indiana State Fair competition on August 11, 2012. He presented a Gold Merit Speech in the Sr. Division of the speech contest. Korff, a Posey County 4-H member, has participated in 4-H Youth Development Program for 8 years and is the son of Warren and Mary Korff. Aaron’s speech entitled “4-H: a Revolution of Responsibility” also earned him the position of 1st alternate for a trip to Washington D.C. If one of the two trip winners can not attend, Aaron would be next in line to go on the trip in September. Photo submitted

OPINION
Calling all local nonfiction writers to form a monthly writers’ circle Nearly everyone will agree that writing is lonely business. Writers need courage to face a big blank page time after time, any time they must explore a new topic or breathe new life into an old one. The process requires long hours, patience and hard work—not to mention, a fair amount of trips to fetch another drink. (One of my writing heroes, William Zinsser, points out the amount of water writers consume far exceeds the body’s known need for liquids.) Not surprisingly, a fair number of writers lose
motivation for their craft. Writing will always be a solitary activity, drawing
LIVING FOR THE JOURNEY BY PAM ROBINSON on our best-learned language skills. Yet, as poet Jessica Thompson writes, Inspiration “cannot be called up from within – she comes from some place outside of us.” Keeping this truth in mind, I have reserved a
place, Meeting Room B, at the Alexandrian Public Library in Mount Vernon on Sunday, September 16, 1:30 p.m., for anyone interested in forming a monthly nonfiction writers’ circle. Although I love poetry and prose fiction, I lack the gift for writing in these genres. My interest lies in journaling, personal essays, and memoir. I’m hoping more Posey County writers long to learn more about nonfiction writing from guest speakers and to share their work for constructive critique. At this first meeting, writers can expect to stay
about an hour. We will agree on a permanent time and meeting place or places—perhaps moving among the libraries in Mount Vernon, New Harmony, and Poseyville— as well as a name for our group. In addition, I will bring information about
possible speakers and formats for sharing writing in progress. Writers may combat loneliness, but they don’t need to suffer alone. Like anyone else, we can benefit from a support group of like-minded individuals. I don’t expect to draw
a large circle of writers to the Alexandrian Public Library next month. After all, my idea won’t appeal to everyone. I do hope, however, at least a few writers will want to share the great reflections and memories pouring out of their Posey pens.
Guest Column by State Rep. Wendy McNamara New school year, fresh start Class is in session, and I couldn’t be more excited to reconnect with my students. Students are picking up right where they left off by getting acclimated with new classes, students and teachers. All of the students have been full of laughter from summer stories as they connect with old and new friends. Everyone is on board for another great school year. The excitement of a new school year brings a fresh start for students. Education provides a gateway of endless opportunities for our next generation of automotive technicians, engineers, teachers, farmers and doctors. Indiana is heavily invested in educating Indiana’s future leaders as education continues to be a topic of great interest and importance at the Statehouse. K-12 funding is over half of the state’s budget, one of the highest percentages in the country. Not to mention, last
year the General Assembly allocated an additional $80M for statewide kindergarten programs, the most in Indiana’s history. Yet, we still want more for Hoosier students. The Commission on Education, a summer study committee, was charged to dive deeper into the policies affecting education and to address how we can better serve the needs of Hoosier students. More specifically, the commission, made up of House and Senate members, will thoroughly examine the process of adoption and content of rules used by the Indiana State Board of Education. The focus will be on the categories or designations of school improvement, including the matrices used for the A-F designations. The commission is dedicated to exploring every function of education in this state, pre-kindergarten, K-12 and higher education. The commission’s
work will set the tone for the upcoming session by providing recommendations to the General Assembly. I encourage you to watch committees live at http://www.in.gov/legislative/index.htm to stay up-to-date with the proceedings. With the new school year underway, I wish every teacher and faculty member the very best. They have all put in countless hours of preparation to ensure that this is a great school year. I also want to thank the hard-working support staffs that make sure the buses are running, the meals are prepared and the buildings are ready. A special thank you to our parents for all of their hard work in helping their children, our students, prepare for a successful future. Please contact me if you have any questions, comments or concerns, by calling me at (317) 2329671 or emailing me at h76@in.gov.
Gavel Gamut’s ‘Same Game Different Players’ Fox News and MSNBC may not be able to identify any of America’s best and brightest, but they appear to have zeroed in on the four worst people to run the country. Fox berates President Obama and Vice President Biden as MSNBC showers contumely upon Governor Romney and Congressman Ryan. An objective observer from another country might wonder how we Americans could have designed a political system that spends billions of dollars sifting through 310,000,000 citizens to only produce four people the national media skewers as, at best, incompetent and, perhaps, corrupt. And that does not factor in their families who are lampooned for such sins as having an interest in the Olympics or reducing childhood obesity. Each morning about o’dark something I surf through the news channels looking for, well,
news. But what greets me is a cacophony of bobbing beautiful hairdos honing
GAVEL GAMUT BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE
in on all that is evil about the men who have committed the ultimate offense in the eyes of the national media, i.e., they want to serve their country. Now, I will jealously guard my American right to point out the mote in the eyes of everyone else. However, I do not ascribe venality to politicians with whom I differ. My first thought is not that they are evil or inept in general, but only wrong on the issues under consideration. As to the four men in question, it seems to me each brings a wealth of ex-
perience and ability to the great tasks looming ahead. I am not saying we might not have been able to do better, I am only saying we are probably pretty lucky anyone is willing to take on these great obligations under current conditions, especially when they and their families must suffer the slings and arrows of the Sunday talk shows. This is not to say we do not occasionally produce a morally flawed or even a dangerous national leader; it happens. After all, odds are if you are dealing with an entire country you will find an apple or two with worms. When that happens, Senator Joe McCarthy comes to mind, the true value and purpose of the Fourth Estate needs to shine through. However, we might want to reflect on how we are going to continue to find good leaders if all they receive are a back full of arrows.
Guest Column by State Senator Jim Tomes Illinois decline participation in NH Bridge Project STATEHOUSE (Aug. 14, 2012) — State Sen. Jim Tomes (R-Wadesville) received a letter today from Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Secretary Ann L. Schneider respectfully declining any participation in funding the New Harmony Bridge project. “The department understands and appreciates the concerns of our citizens, the Indiana Department of Transportation and our respective state and federal legislative leaders following the May 2012 closure of the existing but structurally unsound New Harmony
Bridge,” Schneider writes. “However, Illinois has experienced declining state and federal revenues similar to many other states… IDOT has to respectfully decline the proposal to financially participate in the construction of a new bridge over the Wabash River for the purpose of connecting New Harmony, Indiana to White County, Illinois.” In addition to the struggling economy, Schneider cites transportation funding sources not keeping pace with road construction needs and that travelling between the two places “could
feasibly be met by other Wabash River bridges” as reasons for declining financial participation. Tomes said efforts to fund the project will continue, as all possible options are still being explored. “I want to keep everyone in our area informed of the latest news regarding New Harmony’s bridge,” Tomes said. “As a local legislator, this is a top issue for me. I know how important the bridge is to the vitality of our community and will continue to join other area officials in exploring all options.”
Guest Editorial by Tom Kopatich, Supt. MSD of MV Superintendent welcomes students to new school year I want to welcome the students, families, and community back to school appreciate all the support that everyone has given in the past, and we look forward to working with you in the future. Our desire is for everyone to have a great year! A key to success is communication. Please, if you have something you wish to share, a concern, or would like to come in and see the school, contact your child's teacher or principal. We want all our students to feel safe and enjoy coming to school. We need parent involvement and we want our community to feel welcome in our schools and at our events. This year, we have 37 bus routes that travel approximately 1,400 miles a day to pick up and deliver children. If you have any questions about bus travel, please give Mr. Loren Evans a call at 838-4471. We are very excited about the curriculum change_ at the junior high. Our sixth graders will be initiating
the elearning Program. Each 6th grade student will be given an IPAD which will contain all of the curriculum. There will be a 6th grade open house on Monday, August 27 at 6:30 p.m. at Mount Vernon Junior High School cafeteria to roll out the IPADS. At Mount Vernon High School, we have added an AP statistics class and have eight dual credit courses that are being offered beginning with the first semester so our seniors can get a head start on college credit. I wish to congratulate Mars Elementary for being ranked the 13th highest school in the state of Indiana on ISTEP scores during the 2011-12 school year. I wish to thank Mr. DeWeese, teachers, staff, students, and families for all of their hard work. Excellent job!!! We must continue to push academics throughout our district so our children will have the best opportunities possible. We have hired excellent teachers, administrators, and highly quali-
fied staff over the summer, that along with our current personnel, will provide an excellent learning atmosphere. We are enthused about our various student extracurricular teams be it academic, athletic, band, etc. We invite you to come out and watch some of the events that provide exciting entertainment for our community. Fall sports have already begun! We have excellent coaches in place to work with all athletes to be successful on and off the fields. I am very proud of our school and community. I thank all the local businesses for all of their help. Without this partnership, it would be difficult to succeed. A special thank you to all businesses and churches that have provided assistance for the children in need of school supplies. If I can be of any service, please do not hesitate to call me at my office at 833-5124 or e-mail me at kopatichtp@ msdmv.k12.in.us.

Greetings, The Metropolitan School District is very proud to be a pacesetter for United Way for this year’s fund raising campaign. MSD of Mt.

WALKING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND FOR NOAA
MOUNT VERNON MOM PROUD OF DAUGHTER’S
SOUTH POLE SOJOURN The Southern Lights: Aurora Australis
YOUR
LIFE
BY THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS
Eyelash Icicles
S
adness takes a back seat to pride for Mount Vernon resident Lanesta Moe. On November 3, 2011, her 26-yearold daughter, Lieutenant Junior Grade Heather Moe, landed at the South Pole for a year’s assignment with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA. Since then, Heather has chronicled her Antarctic adventures in monthly electronic newsletters celebrating her sojourn in a winter wonderland. The news would indeed gladden any mother’s heart. Heather arrived at the South Pole in time to enjoy the warmth of the summer sun. Indeed, the sun stayed up 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the temperatures were at their highest, even hitting +10 degrees Fahrenheit on Christmas. The sunny weather was perfect for celebrating the 100th anniversary of the first explorers to reach the South Pole—one of them, Norwegian Roald Amundsen, on December 14, 1911. In addition to the summer work crew, some 250 strong, another 500 tourists came in from around the globe to participate in the anniversary festivities. “Just think,” Heather writes, “these people are paying several thousands of dollars for the chance to come to the South Pole and see it for a few days. I’m down here getting paid to experience it.” Chief among the visitors was Norway’s Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg. Heather presented him a vial of pure air. She felt the chill of winter when the last plane headed out February 15, 2012, knowing the next flight wasn’t for another nine months. Left behind were around only 50 personnel—Heather, her technician and 48
more contract scientists. Not long afterward, the South Pole descended into darkness when the sun set on March 20. It won’t rise again until around September 21. The temperature averages -80 degrees Fahrenheit. On occasion, it dips to -100 degrees Fahrenheit. On July 15, Heather reported, the temperature fell to 105.2 below zero. A rescue team braved the inky Antarctic winter just a couple of weeks ago to fly out a patient at the U.S. McMurdo Research Station nearly 400 miles from the South Pole. Fortunately, all ended well for everyone in this risky mission. Nothing, however, seems to ice Heather’s spirit. She reveals her character especially in a post about a particular winter duty. “I got to press the ‘Winter’ button making it officially winter across all of Antarctica,” she states. “We take that responsibility seriously and have protected our winter button with a flip top so that it does not accidentally get pressed, making it winter in the middle of summer, or worse, ending winter before it should be really over.” She admits teasing about her control over winter in Antarctica before explaining that a button labeled winter truly does exist. It allows a certain electronic program to read fewer solar instruments at her station during winter than during summer. In fact, she and her colleagues run several different instruments to measure the amount of certain chemicals and particles in the air as well as the ozone content in the air. A typical work day for Heather begins at 7:30 or 8 a.m. and ends around 5 or 5:30 p.m. in summer. Now in winter, she works a rotating schedule. During that time, she makes the one-quarter

mile trek from her living quarters, known as the Elevated Station, to the Atmospheric Research Observatory, or ARO, and back twice a day. “We put up flags to all of the frequentlyused out buildings so that in the dark we can still find our way,” she comments, “although sometimes only by listening to the wind flap the flag around because the visibility is so bad. Thankfully, that isn’t a frequent occurrence.” In another entry, she marvels about her walking commute. “I pass by the geographic pole every day on my way to work. The big white sign and flag are the designators, and the actual pole is just on the other side of the white sign,” she says. “I was walking by one day and stopped to look at the pole and realized that on my way to and from work, I actually change hemispheres.” After work, Heather and her colleagues enjoy any number of educational and recreational activities. Her educational goals include preparing for the Graduate Record Exam, or GRE, and learning Norwegian. Organized group activities include astronomy class taught by one of the scientists, stitching (crochet, knitting or needlepoint), movies, parties (i.e., Mardi Gras and Independence Day), pool and even horseshoes. “Having activities and a sort of set evening life allows the time to go by quicker and makes being away from home a little easier,” Heather admits. She and her colleagues eat well also. In describing their food, Heather can make mouths water. “The food down here is amazing!” she gushes. “These guys are cooking at 10,000
ft. and working with food that can withstand the harsh trip (mostly frozen with occasional fresh fruit and vegetables). I’m very impressed. We had a Thanksgiving dinner down here with all of the fixings. I was told they cooked 18 turkeys for us and decided to do some fried, some smoked and some roasted. Holidays are a chance for us to dress up and make a special night to break up the monotony of the environment and really enjoy the splendor of where we are.” That splendor includes the Southern Lights, or Aurora Australis. To fully appreciate the brilliant night sky, Heather and her colleagues have even covered all of their windows and have used only red lights outside to keep light pollution to a minimum. “It’s like our own personal light show with Mother Nature as the composer,” Heather says. Thanks to two satellites, GOES (once used to transmit weather reports) and TDRS (the satellite connection for all of the space programs and run by NASA), Heather’s photos of the auroras as well as her newsletters reach her admirers. Hopefully, she will continue to chronicle her NOAA adventures. She knows when she leaves the South Pole in mid-November, she will work stateside a couple of months before a three-month assignment in Greenland. She can only guess where she’ll be stationed next. After weathering the South Pole, Heather can certainly tackle anything.

Winning scholarships from Dance Theatre USA back in the early spring, Brakston and Hunter attended classes for free at the Broadway Dance Center. Among the many classes they took such as acting and contemporary, the latin jazz, swing/partnering and hip hop were their favorites. These students also found time for some sight-seeing. The Statue of Liberty, 9-11 site and seeing the musical â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chicagoâ&#x20AC;? were some of the high-lights. Photo submitted

Did you know: Kitchen Remodeling According to TGB Enterprises in Burlington, Ontario, kitchen renovations are the most popular home improvement projects. Renovating a kitchen is a great way to increase the value and also the functionality of a home. The National Kitchen & Bath Association’s latest market report says that, in the first three months of 2012, the number of homeowners who started a kitchen renovation was up more than 50 percent from the previous quarter. A kitchen is a central gathering place and is one of the most popular family gathering spots in the house. With traditional dining rooms being eliminated in favor of open, eat-in kitchens and entertaining spaces, more attention than ever is now
placed on a well-designed kitchen. The average remodeling budget for a kitchen renovation exceeds $30,000. But there are ways to keep budgets in check. * Do some of the work yourself to reduce money spent on labor costs. * Consider laminate flooring and counters, which will look like real stone but at a fraction of the cost. * Skip custom cabinetry in lieu of stock units. They’re more attractive than ever before and don’t require the wait time of custom-ordered cabinets. * Choose less expensive, mid-range appliances that may function better than or equal to high-end models.

Vikings score early, often in romp over Rebels By Dave Pearce You’ve heard it said there is strength in numbers. But for the North Posey Vikings, it is more than just numbers. There is strength all the way up and down the North Posey Viking football lineup and if you don’t believe it, just check with the South Spencer Rebels. In a game that is usually close, exciting, and often comes down to the final quarter, the Vikings took the suspense out early on Friday night at Reo, scoring 18 points in the first half (including a safety). That included giving up only one first down in the half and only three on the night. The Vikings wasted little time taking the opening kick-off back to within Nick Neidig field goal range and the senior kicker put the first points of the season on the board from 25 yards out at the 6:26 mark of the first quarter. The Viking defense proved equally impressive as it was three and out for South Spencer and Wes Harness finished off the Vikings’ second score of the quarter, a 3-yard touchdown run with 1:02 remaining in the quarter to give the Vikings 10-0 lead after the first period. The defense came up big early in the second period as Tyler Atkins blocked a punt in the first minute of the quarter but the Viking offense sputtered as a safety blitz on third-and-six caught quarterback Alec Werry behind the line of scrimmage and forced a Viking punt from the South Spencer 34. Neidig, who has worked on his kicking game throughout the summer, nailed a high punt that landed inside the 10-yard line to put the Rebels in poor field position again. But North Posey Coach Joe Gengelbach knows that field position is key to any successful season and with Neidig at the helm and a capable back-up kicker in Jace Gentil, he knows the Vikings are capable of putting opponents right where the Vikings want them when they are forced to give up the ball. “The kicking game for us this year is going to be a plus,” Gengelbach said. “And we have some kids who can get down the field and cover. Offensively, when we finally got into sync, I think we were turning and trying to chase those quick kids instead of just squaring up. Then we were just getting a pad on them and were
able to stay with them a little batter.” Following Neidig’s punt, a botched up hand-off left South Spencer quarterback Cole Woodburn the only one who could recover the fumble that resulted in a safety for the Vikings to make the score 12-0 with 4:06 to go in the first half. On the ensuing kick-off, Harness returned the ball to the South Spencer 46. Then on third-and-4 with 3:10 remaining in the half, a pair of holds on the same play left the Vikings facing thordand-14 when Werry hit Jake Bender with a strike and the capable receiver took the ball down to the Rebel 25 for a first down. Then, facing secondand-3 on the five yard line with 39 seconds remaining in the half, the Vikings called a time out and Harness then picked up a head of steam and carried the ball in for the final score of the half. The two-point conversion pass failed and the Vikings led 18-0 at the half. “I thought South Spencer played very hard,” Gengelbach said after the game. “In the first half, the did a lot of
moving and they are quick. They covered some ground and they did a good job taking some routes away from us.’ But the third quarter, the Vikings came out and took any chance the Rebels might have had away early, as Harness went in again from 14 yards out with 8:55 remaining to give the Vikings a 24-0 lead. The extra point was wide. But it didn’t take long for kicker Gentil to make up for the mistake as only a minute and a half later, Werry hit Neidig in stride and the lanky senior did the rest as the Vikings went ahead 31-0 Gentil nailed the extra point. From that point forward, many Vikings saw action as several underclassmen saw some playing time without loss of a ton of quality. Harness broke loose for a 55-yard scoring run just a little over a minute later and Colton Martin scored on a 3-yard run with 2:07 remaining in the third quarter. When Dylan Wright carried the ball in from one yard out at the 4:52 mark of the fourth quarter and Gentil nailed the extra point, the Vikings had dominated the sea-
son and conference opener to the tune of 51-0. The statistics were just as lop-sided as the score as the Vikings had 18 first downs to three for the Rebels. South Spencer was held to a single yard on the ground and only 19 in the air for a total of 20 yards on the night. While the defense was shining, the offense was running wild for 357 yards on 7-of-14 passing for 85 yards and 272 yards on the ground. They also were able to be successful on 4-of-5 first downs on fourth downs. Harness, starting his fourth season in the backfield, finished with 169 yards on 18 carries while Wright had 63 on 11 carries. Darren O’Risky have 23 yards on three carries and fullback Colton Martin had 18 yards on five carries, including a touchdown. Jake Bender had three receptions for 53 yards while Neidig had two for 35 yards. Nick Heldt and Mitchell Kuhn each recovered Rebel fumbles. South Spencer had five fumbles and the Vikings did not cough up the ball in the season opener and did not have a turnover. Alex
Goebel had a 23-yard punt return while Bender had a pair for a total of eight yards. Bender also had an interception. After playing their season opener on the road, the Vikings will now square off
against Posey County rivals Mount Vernon in the Posey County News North versus South Bowl with the winner gaining control of the traveling cup. The Vikings won the inaugural game last season 28-0 in Mount Vernon.

With PRIDE we congratulate Young but improving Vikings struggle Posey County’s By Steve Joos Different ways, same result, rough start for tennis Vikings The North Posey boys’ tennis team started their season this week with a bang, playing three straight dual meets before heading to last weekend’s Washington Invitational tournament, where they finished sixth, scoring 17 points. How did the season start for the Vikings? Not very well, as they dropped their first three dual meets. How bad was it? Each of the losses was by the same score, 3-2, against Tell City, Pike Central and Day School. How did they lose? A different way each night. The Vikings’ rough and busy week saw them find three different ways to come up on the short end of a 3-2 split three times. The Marksmen took two of three singles spots and split the doubles with North Posey, while the Chargers swept the doubles and added a singles spot. And how did the Eagles win? By sweeping the singles’ spots. On Thursday, the visiting Day School Eagles swept the three singles spots to escape with a win just as heavy thunderstorms were rolling into the area. Reed Gertesen, who won his first two meets of the year, lost his first match of the season at second singles, falling to Casey Phillips 6-4, 6-3, at second singles. Combined with Sean Carroll’s

6-0, 6-0 win over Kyle Voegel at first singles and Joey Ballard’s 6-1, 6-0 decision over Grant Scheller, that gave Day School the win. The Vikings salvaged the doubles’ spots, as Griffin Motz and Drake Davenport topped Augie Folz and Graham Dunagan 6-0, 6-1 at first singles and Christian Jones and Chase Wildeman won at second dobules 6-2, 6-0 over Nathan Smith and Phillip Brown. North Posey traveled to Petersburg Wednesday and got wins at first and second singles, but fell into an early 0-2 hole in the Pocket Athletic Conference standings by losing at third singles and both doubles spots. Voegel broke through for his first win of the season at
first singles, beating Jeffrey Easterly 1-6, 6-2, 6-4, while Gertesen posted a 6-1, 6-2 decision over Dexter Walz. That was the good news for North Posey. The bad news started at third singles, where Jones fell to Aaron Keepes 6-0, 6-0, and at the doubles spots, where Kyle Keepes and Chris Downey topped Motz and Davenport 7-5, 7-5 at first doubles and Ty Smith and Tanner McFarland posted a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Wildeman and Connor Voegel. The Vikings’ very busy opening week had a rough start, as they fell to visiting Tell City Tuesday 3-2. Gertesen was a 6-4,6-0 winner over Jake Swikhart at third singles, while Motz

and Davenport were 6-2, 6-1 winners over Austin Paulin and Jeff Young at first doubles, but the rest of the story wasn’t as pleasant for North Posey. Greisen’s win was sandwiched around Anjan Kashab’s 6-0, 6-0 decision over Voegel at first singles and Zach Fisher’s 6-3, 6-2 win over Scheller at third singles. The Marksmen nailed down the meet by splitting the doubles, with Tyler Roves and Kevin Young posting a 6-2, 6-1 decision over Jones and Wildeman. The Viking reserves salvaged a 5-2 win over Tell City in their meet.

Wildcats show mental, physical toughness in 7-6 win By Steve Joos It wasn’t the prettiest thing to behold, but it was a win, and that’s the important thing. Austin Guthrie plowed through the Tell City defense and broke out for a 32-yard touchdown run with 8:18 to go in the third quarter and then Michael Cannato knocked through the extra point as the Mount Vernon Wildcats pulled out a 7-6 win in their football season opener at Tell City Friday. “We had a good kicker tonight,” Coach Paul Maier said. “They were basically shifting into an odd front, a three-front and leaving the run open, so we were checking into a run play every time and Austin ripped one off.” Guthrie had been tentative throughout the first half, Maier said, adding that he finally started running hard in the second half. The defense played a good game, holding the Marksmen to just 179 yards in total offense, but an inexperienced offensive unit struggled with the jitters, especially in the first half. “When you only score seven points, it’s going to be touchand-go,” Maier said. “We were unbelievably tight, nervous, pick three other descriptive words for nervous and that’s what we were. It wasn’t until after halftime that we calmed own and played football. We played pretty well the second half.” Maier was concerned about Tell City entering the game, especially the Marksmen backfield. That showed up early on, when the Wildcat cornerback misjudged a jump and let Tell City’s Reese Miller slip through for a two-yard touchdown run. A missed extra point kept the score at 6-0 with 5:27 to go in the opening quarter. “He probably would have knocked him (Miller) down later in the game,” Maier said. “That’s what he did later in the game.” That lead held until the Cats were able to mount a drive starting on their own 37-yard line early in the third quarter. Four plays later, Guthrie got through the defense and took it in from 32 yards out. Cannato’s kick put the Wildcats in front and the defense took over from there, stopping a late Tell City rally on an interception by Ethan VanZant with 1:19 to play. The VanZant pick-off almost became a pick-six, but VanZant was knocked out of bounds on the Marksman 13-yard line after taking the interception back 32 yards. After that, the Cats took to the victory formation and salted the game away.

Photo by Dave Koch Guthrie finished the night with 124 yards on 18 carries, offsetting a somewhat invisible passing game. Freshman quarterback Riley Snodgrass completed six of 11 passes for just 53 yards on the night. The Wildcats’ case of the jitters may have also extended to some other areas, as they were penalized eight times for losses of 51 yards. “We had a lot of flags called on us,” Maier said. “I didn’t see it the way the officials saw it, but yes, it was the jitters. I think in the second half, we didn’t have a single penalty. So in the second half, we settled down and played football.” And that enabled the Cats to get a win. Maier felt that his team would have to buckle it up for this
week’s county game against a very strong North Posey team. “They might be the best team we’ll see all season,” the coach said “They’re a very good, a very solid team, big up front and physical. They’ve got all the qualities you want in a high school football team.” Maier wasn’t pleased with his team’s execution against Tell City and feels that the Cats will have to clean that up, as well as some over aggressiveness on their part. Competing with North Posey this Friday night for the Posey County News North-South Cup will be a challenge, but Maier thinks his team will focus on getting better, and he was pleased with the way the opener turned out. After all, a win’s a win, right?
Wildcat tennis looking for return to glory years By Steve Joos They hit the ground running, as wel1 as doing a few other things, like hitting backhands, forehands, and put-away volleys while serving. That’s how the Mount Vernon boys’ tennis team started their season last week, winning its first dual meet and then dominating Saturday’s Washington Invitational tournament, winning the eight-team contest for the second straight year with 55 points, well ahead of the second-place Hatchets (27). North Posey was sixth in a logjam right after the Wildcats, scoring 17 points, but it was Mount Vernon which had the biggest day, putting each of its players in their respective championship rounds and bringing home first place at four positions. “We played really well,” Coach Vicki Rueger said. “With an eight-team tournament, there are plenty of good players and a number of strong teams, so to have all five spots reach the finals and four champions is really nice.” The doubles teams struggled in the early going, but they were able to overcome those obstacles and advance to the finals, where everybody by first singles player Jevin Redman ran into problems with Central’s Jarred Hamilton, falling 6-2,6-0 in his championship match. Everywhere else, it was all Mount Vernon. Ross Canada posted a 6-1, 6-0 win over Corey Thompson of Washington, while Todd Scheffer was a 6-2, 6-4 winner over another Hatchet, Garrett Burton. The doubles titles were a pair of “Cat fights” with Mount Vernon’s Seth Reeve and Luke Steinhart coming out on top at first doubles 7-5, 6-0 over Joe Bitter and Ethan Head of Mater Dei, while second doubles went to Hunter Wilson and Logan Brown 6-3, 6-0 over another Mater Dei duo, Joe Folz and Zach Goedde. “It was a total team effort,” Rueger said. “They had some really close matches early in the
Mount Vernon Boys Tennis Team—front, left: Noah Salamon, Todd Sheffer, Garrett Kitterman, Brandon McCarty, and Luke Rusher. Second row: Coach Vicki Rueger, Kol Reinitz, Seth Reeves, Jordan Crabtree, Logan Brown, and Luke Steinhart.

Photo by Terri Koch day, but they were able to take care of things and then came out on top at the end of the day.” Mount Vernon was so strong that the real battle at Washington seemed to be for second, with the hosts nipping Central (26) for runner-up honors, with Mater Dei (24) in fourth place. Tell City was just ahead of the Vikings in fifth place, with 19 points, while Boonville came in seventh with seven tallies. Linton-Stockton did not score and rounded out the field. The Cats opened the season by tearing through Reitz 5-0 Tuesday in Evansville, winning a meet where Rueger said that her team was just better prepared. There was plenty of whitewash to go around, as the Wildcats shutout the Panthers in at least one set at each of the four which the two teams contested and posted 6-0,6-0 victories at the top two singles spots. It was 6-0, 6-0 at first singles, where Redman blanked Austin Loveless and at second singles, where it was Canada over Kitt Atherton. Sheffer was a 6-1, 6-0 winner over Colin Runion at third singles, while Reeves and Stein hart topped Luke Sandefur and Austin Bal-
lenger 6-0, 6-2 at first doubles. Wilson and Brown took a forfeit at second doubles. The Wildcat reserves took their meet 2-0. The Cats have picked things up since competition actually started, Rueger said. “We worked on our skills in practice and we did a good job of getting ready for the season,” she said. “The doubles spots struggled a little bit and Seth Reeves was trying to be a little too aggressive, but we’ve been working hard.” The top three singles spots will be a strong spot for Mount Vernon, as Redman, Canada and Scheffer bring a great deal of experience to those positions. Redman may have to contend with a number of tourney-tested players at his spot and they might make things tougher for the senior, but the coach is looking for big things from Canada and Scheffer, each of whom she feels have the potential to be undefeated this season. And the doubles? “We’d like to see a little more consistency from the dobules,” Rueger said. “There are times when I’ve to stare at them during practice.” There’s a mix of experience and youth at both
spots, with a senior (Reeves) teamed with a freshman (Steinhart) at first singles, while junior Wilson is matched with sophomore Brown at the second spot. Rueger is especially pleased with Wilson, adding that he will be a stabilizing presence at second dobules. The coach sees Jasper and Washington as the Wildcats’ toughest competition in the Big Eight Conference, while Castle and Memorial will be formidable overall. The Cats and Knights squared off in a pre-season scrimmage and while Rueger acknowledged that her team played well against Castle, she also pointed out that some of the Knights’ better players didn’t participate in that scrimmage and they will be there when Castle invades Mount Vernon Wednesday night. Rueger hopes that her team will win most of their regular season meets this year, as well as compete for the Sectional and maybe even win a Regional. Mount Vernon has had its cracks at the Regional, winning 10 Sectional championships over the last 20-lous years. They hit the ground running in pursuit of those goals last week.

Wildcats settle for tie against patriots, North has too many scorers By Steve Joos It wasn’t a win, but the Mount Vernon boys’ soccer team will take it. Julian Suar took a feed from Cortland Pace and knocked it in the back of the net during the second half Saturday, giving the Wildcats a 1-1 tie with visiting Heritage Hills. Suar’s goal deadlocked the contest midway through the second half after the Patriots took a 1-0 halftime lead on Donavan Adders’ goal off a pass from Seth Bolin. “It was a combination,” coach Travis Kaiser said of Suar’s goal. “The midfielder got it to the fullback out of the box and he was able to get the shot off. It was a great shot, something I’d like to see.” The Cats passed the ball better and did a better job of creating combinations of-
fensively in the second half, Kaiser said, adding that they improved in a number of areas over the season opener, an 8-1 loss at the hands of the North Huskies. Getting more practice time to work on some of the team’s defensive troubles also helped, the coach added. The Cats are still looking for their first win, but at least they aren’t starting the season at 0-2, at least not yet. The season got off to a rude start for the Wildcats Tuesday night, as they lost 8-1 to visiting North. Micahel Cannato scored the Cats’ only goal of the night, off a feed from Jonathan Nurrenbern. The Wildcats just plain ran into a stronger team, according to Kaiser, who felt that Mount Vernon Boys Soccer, front: Alex Austin, James Minick, Noah Keller, Sean Cutsinger, Michael Naston, his team didn’t do a good job Jonathan Nurrenbern, Jacob Ladnier, Bryce Steward, and David Rheinhardt.

‘Very young’ North Posey soccer team looks for experience By Steve Joos They’re young and they’re trying to learn a new alignment, so the North Posey boys’ soccer team does have some adjustments to make. “Obviously, we’re very, very young and so it was definitely a situation where a lot of guys were stepping on the field for the first time.” Coach Andrew Hines said. “We did all right, but we’ve got a lot of work to do and lot of improvement.” The scrimmage was split into two 20-minute halves with everyone getting some playing time, even players with little experience.
Hines thinks that the scrimmage gave him some idea of how the team would perform and that the Vikings have basically looked the same in practice. The team is young and has a lot of work to do, something a recent scrimmage against Gibson Southern showed. “Our strength is our midfield,” Hines said. “Our weakness is that obviously we have a lot of kids that are just brand new playing. I think we have nine or eight kids that have never played a minute.” Assistant coach Nicholas Schmitt sees some improvement, as well.
“They’re starting to improve quite a bit,” Schmitt said. “We’re working on new formations, getting the younger players ready for the season and they’re starting to look pretty good.” Schmitt feels that adjusting to that new formation will be a weakness, but the team is adjusting to it. The Vikings are putting more people up top in the striker position, while letting the more experienced midfielders take charge in their spots. Jace Gentil and Jace Brandenstein lead the returnees. Senior Gentil has been with the team for four seasons, while Brandenstein
brings high school and travel team savvy to the squad. Cole Simpson is another key senior, while Reid Heathcoate is also back. Hines thinks Heathcoate, Brandenstein and Gentil will provide the upperclass leadership and experience that the otherwise very young Vikings will need this season. Gibson Southern will provide tough competition, Schmitt said, as well as Forest Park and Heritage Hills. “Obviously, Gibson Southern is the biggest foe,” Hines agreed. “Forest Park will be one of our biggest games. North has a good program and we think they should be
pretty good. Those three will be our biggest games.” Winning a Sectional and bringing North Posey its first-ever Pocket Athletic Conference title will be goals, but right now Hines and his coaching staff are looking for improvement each time out. “We’re hoping to play solid this season,” Schmitt said. “And we want to win another Sectional championship.” Before they can reach the loftier goals, however, the Vikings will have to undergo a period of adjustment. Adam Ruddell is also helping Hines with this year’s team.

Wildcats banking on experience, desire to return to winner’s circle By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon volleyball team has a lot in its favor this year, with six seniors back from a Sectional championship squad, and they’re starting stronger than they did in 2011. But there’s still room for improvement, according to Coach Andi Alford. “I’ve been pleased,” Alford said. “But then we had our scrimmage against Tecumseh and every year, it lets me know where we stand. We’ve got a long way to go. We’re starting stronger than we did last year, but we’ve got a long way to go.” Specifically, Alford felt that the team looked as if it had been out of practice and wanted to see a cleaner, crisper game, with better communications on the floor. There are two newcomers working in with the returnees, including one in the crucial middle row. The team should be strong defensively due to the Lady Wildcats’ depth and the experience of the team’s seven seniors. “We’ve got seven experienced girls,” the coach said “And that’s going to help us a lot.” And the team’s weaknesses? That will depend on the day, Alford said.
“It’s going to depend on the day,” she said. “We’ll just kind of face those as they come.” Six of the team’s seven seniors are back from last year’s Sectional champs, with the seventh, Morgan Matthews, coming in from New Harmony. “Meagan Martin’s been huge for us,” Alford said. “She’s been a four-year starter for us at setter. Jacey Ritzert has a very powerful swing and she’s one of our top hitters. Lauren Stemple leads our defensive team, but really there are no stars on our team, which is why we work well together. Everybody’s playing the game and they’re not looking for the attention.” Alford sees some familiar faces when considering Mount Vernon’s toughest competition, including Jasper, Mater Dei and the field at New Albany invitational tournament, but considering last year’s results and the level of experience coming back, she’s optimistic about her team’s ability as well. “Last year, we won a Sectional,” the coach said. “This year, we’re shooting for a Regional. I think the effort’s there and if it all comes together on the right night, I think we can go far.” They may have to be a little cleaner and crisper than they were in the scrimmage, but they can do it. The volleyball team had a good week to open the season,
but it could have been better, especially after they came up a few sets short Saturday. Heritage Hills edged out the Lady Wildcats 25-23, 27-25 in their match at Saturday’s Memorial Invitational tournament and that was the difference as the Lady Cats settled for second in the tournament. The Lady Cats topped the host Lady Tigers 25-18, 25-15 in their first match of the day, then posted a 25-16, 25-5 decision over South Spencer in the third contest, but they couldn’t shake off the Lady Patriots. Otherwise, it was a good day for the Lady Cats, who take a 3-1 record into tonight’s match with Central. The Lady Cats took a 25-16, 25-13, 25-13 win at Wood Memorial in Tuesday’s season opener. Lauren Stemple registered eight aces and added eight digs, while Jacey Ritzert put in 13 kills to pace Mount Vernon. Megan Martin had 24 digs for the Lady Wildcats. The news wasn’t as good from the reserve meet as the Lady Trojans beat Mount Vernon 25-23, 25-23 in the preliminary.

Potential is key for Lady Viking volleyball By Steve Joos It’s what’s up front that counts. The North Posey volleyball team learned that the hard way Tuesday night. Stronger front row play and a series of long service streaks proved to be too much for the Lady Vikings as they dropped a 25-17, 2514, 25-14 decision to visiting Castle in their home opener. “They had some tough servers and they had a pretty good front line,” new Lady Vikings coach Natalie Barnard said of the opposition. “They have one girl who’s very aggressive in the front row and that makes it difficult for us. We can’t close our blocks and that makes for a really tough night.” The score didn’t show it, but the Lady Vikings had their moments Tuesday, especially in the third set, when they held a lead for most of the early going. But then, the Lady Knights would get on a roll, reeling off four unanswered points to go up 9-7 and then putting over nine in a row for a 19-8 bulge. “It’s definitely a good thing to build a momentum,” Barnard said. “You want to continue that. Selling that momentum and continuing that is all part of the game.” That’s why Barnard cheers loudly during the game to help encourage her team. She was pleased with Marlee Sims, who played a good floor game despite turning in just one fill. In the first two sets, the Lady Vikings just couldn’t finish anything, Barnard explained, adding that the team committed a number of serving and hitting errors. They were fairly close in the first contest, but Castle built enough of a lead to close it out with a three-point run. The back and forth continued in set number two, but once again, the Lady Knights served three points here and there in order to pull away from North Posey.
“Hopefully we can learn from our mistakes, especially covering serve receive,” Barnard said. “Again, we faced a tough server, so we have to learn how to face those tough servers.” Finding someone who will put the other team’s attack away will also be a priority, the coach added. And is there any one area where the Lady Vikings might want to work after playing Castle? That must be in the front row. Ashley Schorr and Jordan Bender did a lot of the damage for North Posey’s attack, as Schorr registered five kills and Bender four, while McKenzie Morrow added three and Tylie Robertson two. Eli Schapker had 14 to the team’s 15 assists and helped out on three blocks. There were not aces of blocks against Castle, but Morrow had three block assists. Bri Brown led North Posey with 15 digs. Melissa Schorr scooped up six and Ashley Schorr five, while Schapker and Courtney Crowder each registered four. Robertson, Jordan Butler and Meagan Baehl each had two digs. The Lady Vikings dropped their season opener 25-20, 25-17, 25-23 the previous night at Heritage Hills. “We had trouble with their number-one hitter, Kayla LaGrange,” Barnard said. “She’s their number-one hitter. They kept going to her and when she is on fire, there’s not a whole lot you can do as a coach.” LaGrange was hitting over the block at times and North Posey just didn’t have an answer. The Lady Vikings fought through all three sets and even played better on the road than they did at home against Castle, according to the coach. They just let LaGrange beat them. Six different girls had one ace each for the Lady Vikings. Butler paced the squad with eight kills, while Sims registered six. Robert-
son and Ashley Schorr each turned in five and Morrow had two. Schapker and Butler each blocked two volleys, while Schapker had 17 block assists and Crowder two. Brown pulled up 13 digs, while Melissa Schorr turned in six. Crowder and Ashley Schorr each had four digs, while Robertson added two. Barnard is just trying to get adjusted to her new position as North Posey head volleyball coach, so she’s taking things gradually for now. “Right now, I’m just working one game at a time,” Barnard said. “Heritage Hills was our first game; they’re always tough competition. Castle was our next game; there’s a bit of a rivalry there. We beat them last year and they want to make sure that they beat us this year, so one game at a time for me.” Barnard hopes to make adjustments as the season goes on and wants her team to be competitive in the Pocket
Athletic Conference and the Sectional, but for now she’s taking things a step at a time. So far, however, she’s happy with the way things are developing. “We’ve been having twoa-days for the past two weeks and they’ve definitely come a really long way,” Barnard said. “So they’re really looking good.”

what one would consider a star-laden lineup. “I couldn’t be more pleased,” Maier said. “We have 10 young ladies out so far. They’re all working hard, they’re doing all we ask of them, they enjoy running, they enjoy working out and they have a lot of potential.” Maier is still hoping that a few more freshmen will come out to complement the lone frosh on this year’s squad, Kelly McCloud, but she is also impressed with the work ethic and desire shown by her team. There is experience up and down the lineup, but there are also some newcomers up and down the lineup. The Lady Wildcats have four seniors who have been providing a great deal of leadership, but even there, the Lady Cats will rely on varying levels of experience.

Vikings poised to challenge experienced Cats for supremacy By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon girls’ soccer program has come a long way in seven years. It just didn’t seem like it Tuesday night. Loryn Willis scored five goals, as eight freshman North Posey Lady Vikings put it in the back of the net in a 9-2 season-opening rout of the visiting Lady Wildcats. Celeste Hill booted in two more goals as North Posey pulled out to a 5-2 halftime lead and never looked back after the Lady Cats cut the lead to 3-2 on a Kate Cox score with 20:28 left in the first half. “I was very proud of them,” North Posey coach Scott Buttrum said. “They did a wonderful job tonight.” The Vikings are very strong up front this season, and Buttrum felt that they were able to take advantage of that speed as the game wore on. The defense was a concern and that showed, at least for the first 19 minutes and 32 seconds. “They started to adjust,” Buttrum explained. “They came out flat at the beginning and that’s been a problem for North Posey for a long time. We have to make sure and be ready from the get-go.” Buttrum was very impressed with Willis’ efforts, as well as the way the team played as a whole. The Lady Cats struggled in their last pre-game practice and it showed Tuesday. “I’m a firm believer that the way you practice is the way you play,” Lady Cats Coach Liz Castle said. “And we pretty much played the way we practiced. Little, silly things, like stepping in front of the ball, winning the ball out of the air, hand balls, improper throws, just simple things that we see now and we can correct.” The Lady Vikings even had a hand in Mount Vernon’s first goal of the night, which came when North Posey deflected a shot off a cross kick into the net. It was 2-1 by then and Willis then struck for her second score of the night before Cox connected with the first half nearly half over, but that would be all the Lady Wildcats would get. Castle tried several people in an effort to shut Willis down, but the freshman’s speed was too much for Mount Vernon to overcome, while North Posey’s defense didn’t stop Mount Vernon as much as the Lady Cats stopped themselves. “We weren’t doing a lot of the simple things,” she said. “We weren’t winning the ball out of the air and stepping in front. Communication was key today and we didn’t have communication. We had two or three people going to the ball and nobody stepping to the ball.”

Soccer, from Page 9 Posey, right? “Absolutely,” Coach Liz Castle said. “We came out and did not want a repeat of Tuesday (when North Posey rolled over Mount Vernon 9-2). We were more aggressive than we were in the other game. We wanted to play well in the Pink Game and on senior day. I wanted us to play better and we did. I was very pleased with the way we played.” Five breast cancer survivors were recognized at halftime of the contest, which has been held annually since Castle, the daughter of a breast cancer survivor, became the team’s head coach in 2005. “We wanted to show our support for the survivors,” Castle said. “We appreciate the community’s support. It was a beautiful day, it wasn’t very hot and the boys’ team also played well (despite a 1-1 tie with Heritage Hills).” As for the game, it didn’t take long for the Lady Cats to take charge.
Savannah Bush backed up Cox with a pair of goals, the first of which went in with less than five seconds gone in the contest. Cox started her barrage nearly nine minutes later on a line drive at the box. Just over three minutes later, she did it again, making the score 3-0 and putting Mount Vernon well on its way to a 4-0 halftime bulge. While Cox and Bush did most of the scoring, the rest of the Lady Cats also helped notch the team’s first win of the season. “It was a total team effort,” Castle said. “We were getting out quickly and getting off a number of long balls down field. Kenzie Johnson had some great long balls and got off a cross that Katie was able to get off a corner kick and bend it into the goal.” Cox assisted Johnson on another goal in the second half, before nailing her last score off a feed from Hadlee Whoberry. Stefanie Bulla and Cheyenne Schmuck connected for the
other Lady Wildcat goal. Castle was hopeful that the win would give Mount Vernon a boost heading into a key conference match-up with Princeton tonight (Tuesday). “We beat Princeton 1-0 in the Jamboree,” Castle explained. “They had one girl who gave us a lot of trouble and now we know who to mark up.” And they also know who they can rely on when the Lady Cats have the ball.

is my first year coaching the boys, and I’ve been impressed. We’ve got a lot of talent, and that experience they got last year is going to be good for us.” The Vikings return varsity lettermen at six of the seven spots and that will be a big plus, according to the coach. Everyone is working hard, Barrett explained, and that work ethic should carry over into the matches. “The groundstrokes have been looking good and the serves have been looking good,” the coach said. “We’re going to have to put a freshman in at var-
sity, and that will be tough for them to go right in there and get their feet wet. Other than that, things look pretty good.” And where will that weak spot be? Right now, Barrett sees third singles as a trouble spot. The rest of the lineup is pretty well set, with Kyle Voegel and Reed Gertiesen in the top two singles spots, while juniors Griffin Motz and Drake Davenport are set to start the year at first doubles. North will be among the team’s toughest foes this season, according to
what the team told Barrett. Mount Vernon will provide tough competition at Sectional time, while Southridge and Gibson Southern are lurking in the PAC. “My whole goal is to bring the team back to prominence,” Barrett said. “We won Sectionals three straight years (2008-0910) and last year, we had all seven, all new varsity players, so I think we can get some more wins than what we did last year. I think we can have a pretty good year.” That would be a good way to start a new coaching job.
