By Dave Pearce Edward Eli Cooper was sentenced Tuesday in Posey County Superior Court to three years in prison and three years of probation for molesting a 10-year-old female family member in 2010. Cooper lived in Mount Vernon before moving to Evansville three years ago.

But according to Posey County Deputy Prosecutor Jonathan Parkhurst, Cooper was accused of three generations of child abuse during the court proceedings.

“That is what came out in the sentencing hearing that this was the third generation of molesting female children in the family,” Parkhurst said. “There is a letter

Ed Eli Cooper in the file from the granddaughter talking about how he had molested

his own daughter and how he had molested her and the third generation.”

Indiana State Police charged Edward Eli Cooper, 81, with two counts of child molesting, class C felonies, in April.

“Anything that happened against the other two generations happened so long ago that we could not have prosecuted because of the statute of limitations,” Parkhurst said. “They never reported those to the police.

But the victim in this case reported fondling on top of the clothing on two separate occasions. The charges for that resulted in the Class C Felonies. He pled guilty to both counts.”

Posey County Superior Court Judge Brent Almon presided over the case.

Landing housing project is right on schedule

By Pam Robinson City Attorney Beth McFadin Higgins noted recent activity—survey work and boring for environmental reasons—in preparation for the Landing housing project on the Mount Vernon riverfront when the Mount Vernon Board of Public Works and Safety met on Thursday. Then, the board took action on two legals that further pave the way for the project to begin.

First, the board approved a transfer of an easement from the City of Mount Vernon to the Landing project. The easement covers the current municipal parking lot at the corner of Second and Main streets. It was stated that if the Landing project doesn’t proceed with its plans for the easement within a year, the property reverts back to the City of Mount Vernon.

Second, the board approved an offer from 21st Century Leadership Posey County, Ltd. to purchase a 50foot strip south of the alley adjacent to the old Armory building for $40,000. It was stated that 21st Century

Leadership’s board had already approved the purchase.

After the meeting, Mayor John Tucker said in a phone interview that investors are hoping to close on all real estate by the middle of November. Weather permitting, groundbreaking will happen shortly thereafter.

In other business: •The board approved the purchase of a new incubator for the wastewater treatment plant in an amount not to exceed $5,000.

•The board approved the use of the fire chief’s vehicle and the city credit card for Fire Chief Wes Dixon and two firefighters to attend a large scale exercise in northern Indiana on September 26, 27, 28.

•The board agreed through consensus to hold interviews with six police officer candidates in executive session at 2 p.m. on Thursday, October 4.

The Mount Vernon Board of Public Works and Safety will meet again Thursday, September 20, 2012, 4 p.m. in the City Hall Annex.

By Dave Pearce A Mount Vernon woman pled guilty to two counts of Class D felony theft and two counts of Class C felony forgery in Posey County Superior Court this week.

Sally A Denning, 48, of Mount Vernon, turned herself in at the Posey County Sheriff’s office in August of Denning 2011 following an investigation that was the result of audits of books from the Mount Vernon River Days Association.

“She pled ‘open’ and that’s one thing that is important to me in this whole thing,” Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers said. “We did not come to an agreement with her.

Any offers that were made to her in the way of plea negotiations were not accepted.”

Clowers said she plead open to all the charges against her. He said that as of the sentencing hearing, no restitution had been made for the moneys that had been taken.

“Eight years was the maximum sentence she could have received,” Clowers said. “The judge sentenced her to four years in prison.”

Clowers said it is extremely important the people in positions such as the ones where Denning was serving need to realize that we cannot tolerate such acts as these.

“This is a small close-knit community and I believe the people who put her in those positions trusted her and every penny she took cut the fabric of that trust,” Clowers said. “This actually started back in 2006 and she committed this over and over until it reached the point that nearly $65,000 was missing.

This was a conscious decision that she made over and over again. The message here is for people in those positions is that this is a very serious offense and that it will not be tolerated.”

Clowers said that prepared statements were read by River Days Representative Larry Williams and Chamber representative Michelle Hudson during the hearing.

In mid-April, the acting president, Larry Williams, of the 21st Century Leadership, Ltd., better known as the Mount Vernon River Days, noticed some questionable transactions involving Denning, who was serving as treasurer at the time.

Williams then contacted local Certified Public Accountant Ron Bennett requesting that he conduct an audit of the account.

Banking account documents were obtained and were forwarded to Bennett, who indicated after the audit that he found approximately $10,600 in questionable transactions within the account.

Williams disclosed the information to Kenneth Rose, an investigator with the Posey County Prosecu-

Saint Francis to celebrate 125th anniversary September 16

I

t just may be one of the biggest celebrations Poseyville has seen in a long time, if ever. On September 16, St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, will celebrate its 125th anniversary with a feast for 700. That’s right…700.

A committee has been diligently working on plans to feed, serve and park the entire community. Following a 10:30 mass, a pork chop dinner will begin at noon in the cafeteria. The pork chops are being provided by the church’s men’s club and will be smoked by the Beuligmann brothers.

Other portions of the menu include mashed potatoes and gravy, corn and green beans, coleslaw and ice cream for dessert. Patti Wilson, Marilyn Marshall, Deb Schmitt, Katrina Paul and Jeri Ziliak are assisting with the preparations for this free meal that is open to the public.

Old fashioned games will begin at 12:30 p.m. and last until 3 p.m. A mother/daughter or father/ son wiffle ball game will begin at 3 p.m. St. Wendel and Francis for Youth, SWAFFY, will coordinate the games.

Bishop Thompson of Evansville is expected to attend the event as well.

The church was completed in September of 1887 with approximately 20 Catholic families and other Poseyville community members working to erect the main structure that remains today. The ground was purchased from Amelia Endicott for $500 in April 1886. According to the centennial book that was written by LaJuan Reising in 1987, this specific piece of ground was chosen since the completed church would sit on the elevated ground and could be seen for miles in any direction upon entering the town. It cost $4,100 to build at that time. The first resident pastor was Rev. Andrew Schaaf who served from 1885 to 1910.

According to event organizer, Joan Livers, there are 300 families that comprise the church’s membership today. Father Ed Schnur is charged with sharing parish duties with St. Francis and St. Wendel. Sherie Cooley serves as the Director of Education and Youth Ministry.

A commemorative book outlining the church’s history was made for the 100th anniversary in 1987. Adjacent to the original church building, a school was erected and dedicated in 1963. Unfortunately, it didn’t remain open for long and was forced to close at the end of the school year in 1971. It remains in service today as Sunday School classrooms. The cafeteria is often used for various community gatherings as well. Some of the pictures and memorabilia will be on display in the hallway leading to the cafeteria for public view. It will give visitors a chance to stroll down memory lane as they wait in line for the noon meal.

The church is steeped in historical treasures

that include one of its most beloved fixtures – a long pipe organ. According to Reising’s centennial book, it was purchased in 1907 at a cost of $1,051.

It was built by Edmund Giesecke, who was a prominent organ builder in Evansville at the time.

The organ is known as a mechanical action “tracker”, meaning there are long, thin pieces of wood used to connect the various valves under the pipes to the keys on the keyboard. According to the church’s history, St. Francis’ organ is one of two in southern Indiana that remain in its original condition.

Another church treasure that is featured on the wall in the back of the church is an oil painting

by Charles Hirsch of the patron saint, St. Francis Xavier. The painting was donated in 1962.

In 1921, the church underwent remodeling. At that time, the current stained glass windows were installed at a cost of $4,000 and various members of the church donated money for these windows.

Their names appear below each window standing as an open testimony to the church’s importance.

St. Francis is a prominent fixture that has proudly served the Poseyville community throughout its 125 years. As Reising stated in the epilogue of the church’s history, she attempted to show some of the deep convictions of faith, cooperation and community spirit which have always, and still, prevail. That seems to epitomize their gallant gesture towards the community in sharing their joyous celebration of the church’s 125 years on September 16.

To quote from the 1921 issue of the Poseyville News, “To every good Christina soul his church is, next to his home, the dearest place on earth. There the soul of the worshipper communes with God its Creator; there the minister teachers and exhorts’ there the faithful assist at the morning and evening services; there the Sacraments are administered and the graces received to strengthen us in the hour of affliction and temptation; there the soul of the weary pilgrim finds rest, consolation and strength on its pathway through life, on its way to God and Heaven.”

“With God’s blessing, may it continue,” added Reising.

AT RIGHT: Members of the St. Francis Xavier Church Quilting Club created a wall hanging quilt as a tribute of the church's 125th anniversary celebration. Pictured from left are Mary Catherine Schmitt, Susie Bender, Agnes Jochim and Donna Brune. The ladies met weekly, beginning in February, to complete the quilt. It will be displayed in the church cafeteria on the day of the event.

Cooper, from Page A1 tor’s office. Williams told Rose that the River Days Executive Board members consisting of himself, Becky Higgins, Judy Whitten, and Kay Kilgore met on May 25, 2011, and the group authorized Williams to file a police report regarding the audit.

Williams said back in mid-April, Denning was contacted via email and advised that an audit was going to be performed and she was asked to provide him with all banking records, cancelled checks, list of money donors, check stubs, deposit tickets, etc. Williams said Denning responded that she would provide the records the following weekend.

Williams told Rose that he did receive some records but not the required records for conducting an audit. He said he again contacted Denning on April 21 by email advising her that all the required documents had not been provided.

Williams told police that Denning responded by saying she provided him with all the documentation that she had. In the same email, she also advised him that she was stepping down as treasurer of River Days, citing she no longer had the time available to fill the position.

In turn, Rose conducted several interviews over the next three months with individuals who had donated money to River Days as well as individuals involved with the Southwestern Indiana Chamber of Commerce, where Denning had previously served as executive vice president.

During one of the interviews, Denning told Rose that she was to have received $1,000 a year from the Chamber as a retirement benefit. Denning told Rose that she admitted to falsely filling out additional bogus Chamber checks for $1,000 each, cashing them and keeping the money for herself.

She then agreed to meet Rose again the next day to give handwriting examples.

When Denning got to the office on August 11, to voluntarily give the handwriting samples, she told Rose that would not be necessary and that she had something to tell him.

She proceeded to tell him that she had forged a signature on the retirement checks and had deposited those checks into her personal account. She continued by telling Rose that there were some other Chamber checks that were actually bogus pay checks made out by her and she kept the money once she cashed those checks.

Other irregularities including other checks and several ATM transactions are still under investigation but on August 15, 2011, witnesses Rose, George Morgan, Williams and Bennett were on hand and Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers signed the affidavit for probable cause for arrest.

Denning was to report to the Posey County Jail on Sunday at 1 p.m. to begin serving the sentence. It will be determined by the Indiana Department of Corrections as to where the sentence will be served.

Denning was represented by attorney Jake Warrum.

Lost Or Found Pets: Please Immediately call Animal Control at 838-8362 to report a lost or found pet.

Do not wait a few days to see if a lost pet comes home.

For lost pets please provide: date lost, pet’s name, breed or mix, description including color, sex and if altered or not, age, description of collar, do they have a microchip, location they are missing from, and owner’s name and phone number.

For found pets please provide: date found, approximate breed or mix, description including color, sex and if altered or not, approximate age, description of collar, do they have a microchip, location where they were found, and finder’s name and phone number. Please take all found pets to a vet’s office, animal control, or humane society to have them scanned for a microchip free.

Please don't think that just because you have an indoor only pet that collars and tags are unnecessary. Many of the animals that end up in shelters are someone’s lost pet, but we have no way to contact the owner if there are no tags or if the microchip isn't registered.

Please keep proper ID on your pet at all times, and make sure your microchip registration is up to date.

Still Waiting: Every day thousands of dogs die in shelters while waiting for new homes. Please consider adopting a dog from a shelter when looking for a new companion.

This free presentation will begin at 7 p.m. at Thrall’s Opera House.

Dr. Strezewski, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, will present “A Walk Through New Harmony: 1820” on the everyday lives of the Harmonists. Dr. Strezewski has conducted several archaeological field schools in New Harmony and has joined that work with data from the 1820 census and contemporary maps to construct a picture of the town and its residents in the early 19th century.

Visit the Atheneum during Kunstfest 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. to experience fun for the whole family.

Historic New Harmony will be showcasing “Make and Take Miniature Harmonist Sundials” this year at Kunstfest. In 1821, the Harmonie Society designed and created a sundial that hung on the Rapp-Maclure mansion for years. The sundial was saved from a tragic fire in 1844, and relocated to the south exterior wall of Community House No. 2.

Visitors can see a replica of the original sundial hanging on Community House No. 2 today.

Along with the sundials, Historic New Harmony will feature rope making demonstrations. The Harmonists grew hemp and laid it along a 1,100 foot rope walk to dry. Once the hemp was dry, a machine would be used to twist the hemp into rope. A portion of the historic rope walk is today a grassy walkway between North Street and Steammill Street.

Guided tours will be offered as usual at 10

a.m. and 2 p.m. each day.

Lily Pad Cancer Support Group brings information, inspiration to Posey County

By Pam Robinson The newly formed Lily Pad Cancer Support Group will hold its first meeting Monday, September 17, starting at 6 p.m. and ending promptly at 8 p.m. Mount Vernon General Baptist Church, 1717 N. Main Street, has agreed to host the group monthly every third Monday.

The free program includes light refreshments and greeting from 6 – 6:30 p.m., a speaker from 6:30 – 7:15 p.m., and sharing in a caring and safe environment from 7:15 – 8 p.m. Breast cancer survivor Melody Oeth is the first speaker. Oeth recently opened her office as nurse practitioner in Mount Vernon. Readers will remember she was presented the Courage Award at this year’s Mount Vernon Relay for Life.

The Lily Pad Cancer Sup-

port Group wants to reach out to past and current cancer patients along with their family and friends. The group name, “Lily Pad,” reflects the philosophy of its two organizers, Connie Pearce and Chris Hoehn, to be F.R.O.G.s, or “Fully Reliant On God.” The aim is to provide information and inspiration in a God-centered environment.

There is no charge for the group, and no denomination is favored. Co-owner of the Posey County News, Connie Pearce explains that Mount Vernon General Baptist Church facilities are centrally located, and Pastor Matt Watson and his congregation graciously agree to host groups aiding the community.

Although Pearce has been cancer free all her life, she

has supported—and lost— family and friends with cancer. In fact, her organization of Lily Pad started as a mission to help her friend Karen Hahn diagnosed—twice— with melanoma, now in remission. Hahn asked for help finding a local cancer support group. Neither she nor Pearce could turn up anything.

Subsequently, Pearce called another long-time friend and colon cancer survivor, Chris Hoehn, and as they met over lunch one day, the two agreed they would offer a support group not only to cancer patients, but also to their family and friends. Pearce and Hoehn realized cancer affects all the patient’s relationships, and everyone involved needs someone to care and some-

one with whom to share.

Director of Religious Life at the University of Southern Indiana, or USI, Hoehn emphasizes that participants might choose to hop on the Lily Pad for a few months, then hop off, or choose to hang out on the Lily Pad for a number of months.

“We have no expectations,” she comments. “We just want people to know we care.”

Pearce and Hoehn have sent letters and fliers to Posey County medical facilities and churches. They invite volunteers to help with the group – to supply a snack, for example, or to serve one. For more information, individuals are asked to call Pearce at 812-459-4812 or Hoehn at 812-682-3905.

Registration forms are available on the troop’s Facebook page, Boy Scout Troop 387 – 5K Pumpkin Run/Walk or on the Greater Evansville Runners and Walkers Club website: www.gerwc.com.

The run/walk begins in front of North Elementary School and travels west on Fletchall Street, then turns north onto Lockwood Street and turns west on Stewartsville Road.

Participants will turn around at a point just before Ramsey Road and return back to North Elementary.

Awards and door prizes will be given following the race and winners must be present to receive their items.

Local bakers, or chefs-in-the-making, can enter the Poseyville bake-off that must feature raspberries in the recipe. Items entered into the competition must contain raspberries.

Singers will perform on the center stage at the community center from 6 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. Anyone interested in channeling their inner Simon Cowell, J-Lo or Randy Jackson by imitating the American Idol judges should contact Kim Williams at 453-8341.

Seeds of the Sower A country doctor said, “I’ve been practicing medicine for over 30 years.

During all those years I have prescribed many different things. But in the long run, I’ve learned that for most of what ails the human condition, the best medicine is love!”

“But,” asked a student, “what if it does not work?”

“Double the dose,” came the quick reply.

Many have said that love is the greatest medicine in the world. It can do more to heal the sick than most medicines. It is holding someone’s hand, shedding a tear with a broken heart, sitting quietly beside

MISSIONS: OUR PURPOSE AND RESPONSIBILITY

By Pastor Rick Sellers, Mt. Zion General Baptist Church General Baptists have been an influence in our world for over 100 years and for most of those years the people of our movement have been active participants in reaching people around the world with the great news of Jesus Christ. “Missions” is a term often misunderstood because for many people, missions mean leaving everything and going into some far and distant location to tell indigenous peoples about Jesus. Well, this is partly true because there have been, and still are many who have done this.

September 16, 2012 is a Sunday that has become known by many General Baptists as “Ed Stevens Day.” Ed Stevens was certainly a pioneer for General Baptist’s as he was one of those who left everything to follow a God instilled dream of taking the message of God’s love through Jesus Christ to lost people.

The General Baptist website has this to say about the purpose of missions: “GBIM exists to glorify God by: • offering the hope of Christ to the lost • providing relief to the oppressed • encouraging and equipping the redeemed in their fulfillment of the Great Commission.”

The sick and hurting senior, abandoned child, and hopless professional living in despair all need the life changing message of Christ. It is our goal to advance the Gospel globally through church planting, leadership development, and compassion ministries.

Sean Warren Director of International Ministries On Sunday, September 2, 2012 David Stevens, the son of Ed Stevens, was the special guest speaker at Mt. Zion GBC and shared the vision, work and leadership of his father and mother. David Stevens is proud of the work his parents both were so passionate about but what David is most proud of is the fact that their work was only the beginning.

Their work laid the groundwork for ongoing work in missions. There remains an ongoing message of Jesus Christ for the people on the island of Guam and Chi Chi Jima(sp) in the Asian Pacific.

This writer is not the most familiar with the work but was very pleased to have David Stevens share the story of God’s work through his parents for the purpose of spreading the message of hope to people on the other side of the globe from where we live in Southern Indiana.

For more detailed information on this work check out the General Baptist website at www.generalbaptist.com or www.mzgb. org is the website for Mt. Zion GBC where David spoke on September 2, 2012. You can also contact Rick Sellers (Mt. Zion GBC pastor) at 812.781.9298.

The work of missions is the very fabric of the Great Commission given by Jesus Christ. If you do not have a church to call home be sure to look for a church that believes the Bible is God’s Word, is complete and carry’s the message of hope needed for today’s world.

School board celebrates new hires, safe school bus routes

Farmersville fourth-grader Paige Robinson joins "Nana" Armetta Redman and "Grandpa" Jim Robinson at the Grandparents' Day breakfast in the Falcons' cafeteria Friday, Sept. 7. Photo submitted

By Pam Robinson Attending a reception for new hires right before their meeting Tuesday evening, Mount Vernon School Board members confirmed the employment of four more staff: Amy Beshears as teacher assistant in special education at Marrs (50 percent) and the high school (50 percent); Matthew Rebeck as assistant director, Special Education Educational Diagnostician, county-wide; Amanda Snow as teacher assistant for remediation in the Lights on After School program at West (32 percent); and Katherine York as teacher assistant in remediation at Farmersville.

Immediately following their unanimous vote to bring in the new hires, board members accepted the resignation of Matthew Rebeck as a school psychologist, effective September 5, 2012, and of Jennifer Schmidt as girls’ assistant basketball coach at the junior high, effective immediately.

In addition to celebrating new hires, Superintendent Tom Kopatich and the board were pleased with the local survey results from MSD of Mount Vernon bus drivers regarding safety. The bus drivers reported for that survey, conducted on May 1, 2012, that zero (0) incidents of stop arm violations occurred. All 37 bus routes were included in the survey that day.

These local statistics stand in stark comparison to the statistics gathered from the national survey: nearly 100,000 drivers reported that 88,025 vehicles passed their buses illegally on a single day.

Superintendent Kopatich expressed his gratitude and appreciation to the community for backing the buses. In addition, he thanked city and county law enforcement for taking seriously any violations of bus safety and tracking down offenders when necessary.

Commissioners grant extension to Wadesville homeowner

By Valerie Werkmeister Posey County Commissioners voted to grant an extension to a Wadesville homeowner before moving forward on a nuisance complaint. Commissioners heard a status update from Richard Porter of 7265 Main Street in Wadesville during their September 4, meeting.

Porter’s home was involved in a fire last year and he has been working to demolish the home. He stated the home has been boarded up and poses no hazard to the public. He also stated that since he has no electricity, he is forced to work with battery-powered tools that only provide about two hours of

working time. He is attempting to salvage as much of the wood from the deck and the vinyl siding as possible.

Last November, he has appeared before the commissioners to request the county vacate the alley that runs near his property. The alley has not been used for years and Porter believed it would allow him to “square up” his property and place a new home and install an updated septic system. The commissioners asked for Porter to obtain approval signatures from his neighbors before they would grant his request.

Attorney Trent Van Haaften informed Porter that In-

diana law requires certain criteria must be met before the approval for an alley vacation is given. According to Van Haaften, Porter hasn’t met the criteria. He added that Porter was advised to consult an attorney to help guide him through the process and ensure the legal requirements were met.

Porter stated he had been doing things on his own and that he couldn’t afford an attorney for an alley vacation.

Commissioner Jim Alsop reminded Porter that they needed to see improvements being made on his property in regards to the nuisance complaint. He questioned Porter as to how long he felt it would take him to complete the demolition on his house.

“If I had thousands of dollars, maybe it would take four or five months, but I don’t have thousands of dollars,” Porter replied.

Building commissioner Ed Battieger suggested that temporary fencing could be installed to eliminate some of the hazards posed by the structure.

Porter took offense to the suggestion.

“You’re talking about more money, sir,” he stated.

“The house is boarded up tight. No one can get in.”

The commissioners resolved to have Battieger take pictures following the meeting to serve as a benchmark towards any future progress.

Prior to the October 2 meeting, Battieger will take more pictures for the commissioners to compare. Porter was asked to appear again at that October meeting.

Alsop stated that a response from the Indiana Department of Transportation regarding the New Harmony bridge over the Wabash River has not been received.

Highway superintendent Steve Schenk stated that paving has begun on Seibert Lane. He hopes to pave additional roads in the northern portion of the county around the first part of October. He asked the commissioners to send another letter to the City of Mt.Vernon requesting the sewer line be removed from the bridge located behind Wesselman’s. The highway department intends to work on the bridge during the winter and requires the sewer line be moved before work can begin.

Battieger stated that the sump pump project at the Coliseum had been completed for $2,000 less than what was originally quoted. Work in the Hovey House was also nearly complete.

Emergency Management Director Larry Robb stated that September has been declared as emergency preparedness month by Gover-

nor Mitch Daniels. Citizens are encouraged to have an emergency action plan in place.

The animal control officer dealt with 61 complaints in August. There were 23 animals picked up, one was euthanized and there were two bite reports taken.

In other business, the commissioners approved: • a request to rezone an

agricultural district to R-1 or residential per the recommendation of the Area Plan Commission. The 10-acre property is located off Winery Road.

• Change order #2 for levee unit 5 improvements for division 3 slip lining The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 18, at 9 a.m. in the Hovey House.

Long-time Posey County News sportswriter Steve Joos has announced that he TRUTH... will be retiring and mov- STRANGER ing back closer to his elderly THAN mother and his siblings near FICTION Peoria, Ill. Steve's last day in

BY DAVE the office will be September PEARCE 14.

I have had the priviledge of working with Steve both as an employee and as a competitor during his 23 years of sportswriting in Posey County. I can certainly say that I have never seen anyone more commited to Posey County's sports teams than Steve. To say that Steve has been colorful in his years in Posey County would be an understatement. I can remember a time when he felt better and was younger and always got called on to do his "Joos Shuffle" at most events. Steve would always oblige with a big smile and do his dance to thunderous cheers from the high

school students.

I have seen a lot of writers come and go in my time in this industry and I can't say that I have ever seen anyone who could write so many stories in a single week's time. I can remember a time when Steve, although never mastering the use of a camera, would write all the Sports in Posey County. That meant keeping in contact with coaches at Mount Vernon, New Harmony, and North Posey. It also meant many nights of practically spending the night at the keyboard trying to make sure each team and athlete got his or her due.

But there is a soft side to Steve that you may or may not know. Steve also is a writer of beautiful poetry. A graduate of prestigious Bradley University in Peoria, Steve can change from sports mode to poet mode and never miss a beat, He can go from the love of sports to the love of a beautiful woman and

write with the same degree of affection that can easily be felt through his words.

As age and diabetes have taken a bit of a toll on Steve's body, he can still write. About three years ago, I attempted to lighten his workload a little by taking a few things off his hands and attempting to write them myself. At first, Steve did not like the idea but eventually, I believe he saw it the way it was intended, just an effort to help him.

To say we are going to replace Steve would be disrespectful. A more accurate statement would be to say that there will be another sports writer who will be writing sports for the Posey County News. I can only trust that the coaches and administration will accept this man with the love and care that they have shown Steve over the years. It really doesn't matter how much love and respect you showed Steve Joos, I can assure you that he had more love and respect for the community, the coaches, and the athletes than anyone could ask.

A retirement reception is being planned

for him during Kunstfest. I would encourage each and every one of you to stop by and have a snack and let Steve know how much you have appreciated his efforts over the years.

He has been loyal to Posey County. Many times he could have turned his back on people who did not treat him fairly but in the end, he always took the high road and continued to do the best he could.

Steve, in almost every way possible, is one of a kind. He will be missed but he is fortunate to be able to attain a "normal" life while he is still young enough to enjoy it. While I will miss him tremendously and his work ethic even more, there comes a time in all our lives where we have to look at the situation and do what is best for ourselves and our family. For 23 years, Steve has done what has been best for the readers of the Posey County News. I believe he has earned the right to slow down a little and enjoy his family near his home town.

God bless you, Steve. You'll be missed but never completely replaced....

Friends in need tugs on heartstrings for new support group Do you remember the original show “Who wants to be a Millionaire” where you had chosen a whole list of friends that you thought could help for that one specific question to advance you on to the next THE level? I feel very blessed to WAY have many family and friends I SEE in my life from all walks of IT... life. I specifically remember BY CONNIE the little song we sang in PEARCE Girl Scouts so many years ago, “Make new friends but keep the old ones, one is silver and the other gold.” I can’t have enough friends and I do care about them during both the good times and the bad.

One of my very good friends, Karen Hahn was diagnosed with Melanoma several years ago. I never knew the difference between skin cancer and Melanoma before her di-

agnosis but being the kind of person I am, I started researching everything I could on the Internet and learning everything I could about this very serious cancer. Karen’s began as a mole but returned and is now called intransit. She liked her doctor in Evansville very much but he thought it best for her to be treated at IUPUI in Indianapolis where they treat this kind of cancer more extensively. This meant many trips to Indy for Karen and her family. Around Christmas time last year she had a procedure done called Limb perfusion.

Anyone who has been through any kind of cancer and the treatments for it knows what it does to your life. It is your life. I have been so fortunate so far in my life that I have not had this terrible disease but have had so

Guest Column by State Rep. Wendy McNamara Intern at the Indiana Statehouse Following the New Year, anticipation fills the Statehouse as the House is back in session and members are gaveled in. It is an exciting time for both members and staff. All of the hard work that went in during the interim, meeting and listening to constituents to better understand the needs and demands of the district, sets the stage for the session’s legislative agenda.

The Indiana House Republican Internship Program helps in facilitating the day-to-day activities during session and offers a panoramic view of working in public service. Within that view, there are four concentrations to consider when applying to be an intern: member services, media, computer/technology and policy/fiscal. All of these positions offer a rewarding experience in working with the Legislature and its counterparts.

The legislators and staff work extremely hard to provide interns with an experience that will help them grow both professionally

and personally. Dependent on the internship concentration, interns will have the opportunity to work oneon-one with public officials, members of the media, committee members and the public in an effort to further develop and expand their skill set.

The skills and lessons learned are the cornerstone of the internship, but interns are also given a chance to expand their professional network throughout their time at the Statehouse. They work side by side with us during session, and over the last two years I have had the privilege to work with some truly talented interns.

Undergraduates and graduates of all academic majors are encouraged to apply as the General Assembly covers every critical issue pertinent to Indiana.

The internship lasts the duration of the 2013 legislative session, beginning in January and ending in April. It is a full-time, paid position, Monday through Friday.

Interns receive a $700

bi-weekly stipend and are eligible to apply for a competitive $3,000 Verizon Scholarship. The scholarship can be applied toward educational expenses for the student’s current or future undergraduate or graduate studies. I understand that taking a semester off is not always the easiest for students, which is why the Statehouse offers academic credit for the internship and a night class. Most Indiana colleges and universities offer internship class credit, so students should be able to get a two-for-one and stay on track for graduation.

The 2013 Indiana House Republican Internship Program is accepting applications now through October 31.

For a detailed description of each concentration and additional information concerning the internship program, or to apply, please visit www.in.gov/legislative/house_republicans, select the ‘Student Opportunities’ tab at the top of the page, then select ‘Internships.’

Gavel Gamut’s ‘Rowdy Yates Has Left the Building’ The national conventions of the Republican and Democratic parties came in with the football season. There were bright colors and loud cheers, emotional fans and star players. And, much as with many football powerhouses early in the season, there were metaphorical pummelings of straw men.

Many of these were directed at personalities and some even addressed differences of opinion on policy. But all of them featured heroic struggles by members of the home team and fifteen yard penalties for the opposition.

Both parties called upon past presidents and current success stories as well as popular entertainers. I understand political conventions honoring and learning from politicians. But other than Jimmy Stewart in “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington”, I have reservations about Hollywood being seen as a Mecca for philos-

opher kings. On the other hand, there are lessons one might learn from the foibles

GAVEL GAMUT

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE of someone else, especially a supernova like Clint Eastwood, ad libbing in front of the whole world.

Eastwood, who is 82 years old and almost half a century removed from his role in Rawhide, was supposed to speak for five minutes, but rambled on for thirteen. He managed to usurp the coveted 10 p.m. prime time slot with obscene references and banal attempts at humor. His old foreman on Rawhide, Gil Favor, would have saved him from himself but, unfortunately, Mr. Favor was

unavailable.

However, Mr. Eastwood provided an object lesson to all of us who might be tempted to attempt dangerous endeavors for which we may be no longer suited.

Snow skiing, football and running for president come to mind.

When one is tempted to do something that we might introduce with, “Hey, watch this!”, the image of Dirty Harry Callahan fumbling in front of millions of viewers and losing a debate to an empty chair should give us pause.

So, while there is no saving the iconic tough guy from being invaded by the body snatchers from the nursing home, at least we can thank him for providing a warning to the rest of us.

Of course, just as Rowdy often ignored Mr. Favor’s sage counsel, we must heed the warning to benefit from it.

many family and friends close to me that have not be so fortunate. Dave’s nephew is having surgery today on cancer of the brain discovered only last week.

In early spring as Karen starting feeling better she felt like she would like to attend a cancer support group so the search began.

I called the American Cancer Society, local oncology doctors, hospitals and found one such group. It was at St. Mary’s and met on a Monday night. I told Karen I would go with her and we went. It was a group of women of about seven that all had some type of cancer. Only one of them was undergoing treatment at the time and fortunately the rest were in remission. As we walked out I said that wasn’t what you were looking for was it? On the way home I did a lot of thinking about what a need there was for this type of thing especially in Posey County.

This is where the phone a friend comes into play. Another long time, good friend of mine had been through the treatment for colon cancer. Chris Hoehn and I have known each other since we rode the school bus together our first day of school. We were neighbors, schoolmates, and co members of the Lady 4-H Club etc. etc. Currently Chris serves as the Director of Religious Organizations at the University of Southern Indiana.

I got to thinking she must have a lot of resources with a job like that. So I phoned a friend. After meeting for lunch one day and sharing my idea of a cancer support group we were off and running.

Chris is a devout Catholic and I am General Baptist but we both knew we wanted our group to have one thing at the head of this group and that was God. We both believe that whatever you have going on in your life it is better with God at the center of it. Chris is the one with the more creative mind and came up with our name for the group. The Lily Pad Group. She remembered seeing at sometime in her life the F.R.O.G. Fully Relying On God acronym. She explained to me that when you have cancer there are times you need support from something such as a group and at times you rely on other things.

The Lily Pad provides that kind of safe ha-

Letters to the Editor World Alzheimer’s Month in September What if you were made to feel different because of a disease you couldn't control; excluded at work due to your responsibilities at home; see a friend meet your eyes only to turn away without saying hello?

People with Alzheimer's and their caregivers experience these situations every day. Alzheimer's is an epidemic. More than 35 million people are living with dementia worldwide, but there is still a lack of understanding about the disease.

Because of misinfor-

mation and fear, we hold people with Alzheimer's disease at arm's length, and hide the fact that we are facing Alzheimer's in our own families. But by being open about the realities of Alzheimer's, we can dispel these misconceptions.

During World Alzheimer's Month in September, join us to raise awareness: • Speak up about the facts. Alzheimer's is NOT normal aging or "a little memory loss"; it's a progressive and fatal disease.

• Go Purple. Wear purple to symbolize the movement to end Alzheimer's –

and tell people why you're wearing it!

• Create a conversation.

Ask friends, family and neighbors to get involved with the cause---share your knowledge of the disease with them.

Whether you have been a Champion for many years or you're new to the movement, you can make a difference in the fight against Alzheimer's today.

Please do it now. Alzheimer’s can’t wait.

Councilman urged to recuse himself I am writing this letter because of my concern that Councilman Andy Hoehn is using his position on the City Council to his benefit.

During Thursday evenings July 26 council meeting, Mindy Bourne, Executive Director of the Area Plan Commission, presented a proposed change to the Zoning ordinances for Posey County. This would have the cities in the county all on the same page when it comes to new construction and remodeling. During the discussion Councilman Andy Hoehn raised an issue with the changes to the “signage” part of

the ordinance. Councilman Hoehn said that “this is a pet peeve of mine” because he wanted to put a sign at his business and does not like it because other, already existing businesses, that have signs will be “grand- fathered”.

Councilman Hoehn would like for all businesses to comply with the new ordinance. So if you have had a sign up for 30 years you may have to spend thousands of dollars to be in compliance.

Councilman Hoehn, you need to recuse yourself from the discussion and vote because of a conflict of

ven for frogs. Sometimes they need to rest there on top and sun bathe and sometimes they hop in the water and swim along just fine. I loved the idea and we were off running.

Chris and I met with Pastor Matt Watson of the Mt. Vernon General Baptist Church the next to seek advice on our idea and ask if we could have our meetings at the church. Matt was another phone a friend for me, more like a son since he had lived with Dave and I his senior year in college. Matt was able to point out some things for our group from a organization stand point that Chris and I had not thought of prior to our meeting. After going through the proper guidelines we were able to secure the third Monday nights of each month for the Lily Pad Group to meet at 1717 Main Street, Mount Vernon, Ind. The group will begin each month with a social time between 6 and 6:30 p.m. with some light refreshments. We are planning on having a speaker from 6:30 to 7 p.m. For our September 17 meeting we will have Melody Oeth, who has recently had breast cancer and just began her work as a nurse practitioner in Mount Vernon. She served as the school nurse at West School for many years before returning to school and earning her nurse practitioner degree. In October we have scheduled USI nurse instructor, Gale Hoehn who has done a great deal of her practical work in Oncology before becoming an instructor. From 7 to 8 p.m. there will be time for support through sharing, encouraging and fellowship.

This group is open to all women who have or have had cancer and their family and friends. It is not for one particular type of cancer. Chris and I believe that if one person is helped by it then it will be a worthwhile endeavor. We have laid the groundwork and now we are both anxious to see where God takes the Lily Pad Group. For those of you that already have been pulled from the phone a friend bank and for those who may be called in the future we thank you and we hope in some way you will have the answer we are looking for to make this a successful work for God.

interest. You are supposed to be there for the people of Mount Vernon not your own personal agenda.

Now I know some of you will say that this is sour grapes because Councilman Hoehn beat me by 12 votes in last year’s election, but I assure you that this is not sour grapes. This is about speaking up for the small business owners of Mount Vernon that will be impacted by this ordinance if Mr. Hoehn bullies the rest of the council into passing his agenda.

I am fully confident that that will not happen.

Gengelbach’s 250th is one of longest, most important

By Dave Pearce It took over 40 years for North Posey football coach Carl Joe Gengelbach to get into a position where he was playing for his 250th win as a head football coach. To the coach, it probably seemed like it took nearly that long to get No. 250. The Vikings began the quest on Friday night at 6:30 p.m. and it was finally over at around 3 o’clock on Saturday.

But rather than comment or concentrate on himself, the alwaysmodest Gengelbach chose rather to concentrate on the importance of the win to this years’ Pocket Athletic title hopes and to the possibility of completing a successful campaign.

The Vikings had to come out ready to play on Friday night and then, after playing a half and going home for the night, they had to come out fired up again on Saturday.

“The kids played very well today,” Gengelbach said, following North Posey’s 37-6 victory over the state’s 13th-ranked Class 2A Southridge Raiders. “I didn’t know how they would respond after playing a half and then going home.

That’s tough to do on any level because you are sore the next morning but they were still ready on Saturday. They came back and played very well in all three phases of the game.”

The Vikings earned a 14-0 lead on Friday night and could have had more a two drives stalled near the red zone. One resulted in a missed field goal and the other in a takeover on downs for the Raiders.

The Vikings showed why they will likely be in the top 10 when rankings come out this week as the team displayed both a ground game and a game through the air that Viking fans are not used to. It seemed that when the Raiders shut down one area of offense, the Vikings simply went to another. And everything was clicking.

“We hurt ourselves a little on Friday night as I thought we had a couple of bad snaps but that was because we had to change centers this week,” Gengelbach explained.

“Our starting center had a strained knee, nothing bad and he will be back shortly. But, we had to make some adjustments and there was just a little bit of difference in the way the ball came back but it wasn’t anything bad. And today, we didn’t have any bobbles, physically or mentally.”

The Vikings know that one of the keys to the early success of this year’s team has been depth and experience and any time someone has to come out, there are quality people to go in their place. That’s a luxury Gengelbach likes but had not become accustomed to having at the Class 2A level.

On Friday night, both teams played well defensively for most of the first quarter in just a good.

Solid, hard-fought contest. But it would be the Vikings who would draw first blood on the first play of the second period.

Quarterback Alec Werry dropped back and found Nick Neidig who had gotten behind the Southridge defense deep and Werry laid the ball right in his hands, against that

Health issues bring the call for retirement for ‘old sports writer’

By Steve Joos There used to be a telephone ad on television where an old reporter files his last story, on an unspecified athletic event and then takes one last look around an empty stadium before going home.

I knew I should have hung around the football field at Mount Vernon a little longer after the Wildcats’ home opener.

When the late Jim Kohlmeyer called me at my office in West Salem at the end of July, 1989, little did I know what I was getting into.

After putting him off for two months, I finally moved into Poseyville in November with the intention of staying just long enough until the right opportunity opened up closer to home (Peoria, Ill.).

Unfortunately, that opportunity has opened up, after nearly 23 years.

This is the last week I’ll be working with the News, as mostly health issues have forced me to step aside from my duties as sports edi-

tor.

And in a lot of ways, I do mean forced.

I knew this day was going to come, but who wants it come early?

And if leaving my previous job was tough, then how much more so would be leaving a place where one has fit into all these years?

I guess that’s the biggest thing that I’m thankful for.

That everybody here (even with some of the things that I wrote about New Harmony) have put up with the sometimes late and inaccurate (if I’d had that eye problem when I first started, I might not have called one kid on the South Terrace sixth grade boys’ basketball team “Paula” Esche) things I’ve sometimes done while writing sports for the Posey County News.

To say that the people were the best thing anyone remembers about a project is something of a cliché, but that is just about the way I feel.

There are just so many memorable people

that I have met in this position, many of them from day one.

There are times when I still see Brady Gottman on the wrestling mat—the intense kid with the Bart Simpson haircut.

Or Mandy Crowe speeding down the lanes of the pool, her strokes so fast, one thinks they’re watching stop-action photography.

Another grappler, Andy Schneider. Look up; he’s squaring off with his opponent.

Look down, upgrade the bracket, look back up “The Bear” has his opponent on his back.

Chris Sapp coming off the football field for the last time in the Sectional semifinals as a senior after twice coming up a game shy of the Dome.

I could probably devote a month’s worth of special issues just to listing names.

They used to do personality profiles in Courier and Press’ Westside supplement and one of the questions was “Favorite Team and Athlete.”

Nobody asked, but here goes.

Favorite team? The Bradley Braves men’s basketball team.

Favorite athletes? Jamie Grabert, Brady Gottman, Mandy Crowe, Caryn Koch, Jill Reynolds, Tim Kahle, Jeff Maricle, Whitney Espenlaub, Sarah Seib, Jennifer Donner, Chace Akers, Jared Baehl---OH HECK! Every high school athlete from Posey County since the fall of 1989!

That’s Chace Akers, right.

I have something to say to every sportswriter who got the name to the 1994 Indiana state wrestling champion at 160 pounds wrong.

I did it when he was a seventh-grader.

Oh and we can’t forget the coaches, each one of whom have or had their own styles, personalities and quirks.

Despite two trips, Wildcats fail to find win in Vincennes

By Steven Kochersperger Not much went as planned for the Mount Vernon Wildcats football team this past weekend. Friday night’s football game between the Mount Vernon Wildcats and the Vincennes Lincoln Alices in Vincennes was rescheduled for Saturday afternoon due to weather.

On Friday the players, coaches, referees, and fans were ready and in place to play but Mother Nature had other plans. After a delay for lightning, the powers that be decided it best to reschedule the game for the very next day setting up a rare Saturday afternoon Big Eight Conference game. It would be an afternoon the Wildcats would love to forget as the Alices beat the visiting Wildcats 28-7.

“We played poorly today,” Mount Vernon head coach Paul Maier said. “Our offense was inept, our defense played fairly well, and we had too many stupid penalties in the game. We are in a rut right now, especially in starting the game slow and getting behind in the game.”

And that’s exactly how Saturday’s game started for the Wildcats, slowly. The first quarter began with the Alices receiving the ball and going three and out. But their punt was called back on a Mount Vernon rough-

ing the kicker penalty giving the Alices another shot. It was the beginning of a half full of penalties, turnovers and sloppy play.

After holding Vincennes to a three and out and safely fielding the punt, the Wildcats first possession didn’t go so well either. It was on that first possession that Wildcat quarterback Ethan VanZant threw an interception giving the Alices the ball. Though Vincennes would not score off that turnover, they would score after recovering a VanZant fumble the very next Wildcat possession. Defensive player Griffin Bilskie fell on the ball in the end zone to put the Alices ahead in the first quarter.

The Wildcats blocked the extra point and the Alices lead was just 6-0.

The second quarter wouldn’t be much better for the Wildcats. Vincennes scored again as Avory Mickens rumbled to the end zone for the Alices, putting the home team up 14-0 with 4:16 left in the first half. After the touchdown and 2-point conversion, Mount Vernon would fumble the ball on the kickoff giving the Alices the ball back once again.

The Alices struck again with 1:42 left in the half as Vincennes running back Patrick Toole ran to the end zone putting the Alices

‘Foreign’ connection helps Vikings turn 2-3 into 3-2, tourney title

By Dave Pearce Winning bad become ‘foreign’ to this year’s young and inexperienced North Posey Viking tennis team. The team had suffered through six losses by scores of 3-2., five of those were successive matches.

But it could just have been a ‘foreigner’ who saved the season for the Vikings as a German foreign exchange student Jan-Philipp Eckert became eligible and Coach Brandon Barrett inserted him into the line-up. Since that time, the Vikings have won two of three matches and more importantly, claimed the title at the Gibson Southern Invitational on Saturday.

“The boys have definitely improved,” North Posey Coach Brandon Barrett said on Sunday. “I have a foreign exchange student who has come in and is playing No. 3 singles. I actually have moved the boy that was playing No. 3 singles, freshman Grant Scheller, to No. 2 doubles. He has really jump-started that spot for us.”

Barrett indicated that Scheller’s early matches at No. 3 singles are now paying dividends in doubles as the team appears to be rounding into form and could be a factor in what everyone considers a wide open sectional.

The Vikings, who have been reassigned this year to the Princeton sectional, after many years of playing in Mount Vernon, will face familiar foes regardless of who they draw in the sectional. As a matter of fact, Barrett saw it as critical that his team perform well in this weekend’s Invitational and they did just that.

Standing with a record of just 2-8, the Vikings had to prove themselves with their new line-up. They had lost to the Titans in dual match play 3-2 just a few days ago.

“It was actually my exchange student’s second career match and he ended up going three sets but lost the third 6-2,” Barrett explained. “But in the tournament, he got revenge. He got him back, beating him 6-4, 6-4.”

The Vikings’s No. 1 player is Kyle Voegel and Barrett said he believes his No. 1 is a pretty good player.

“I cannot believe the talent at No. 1 singles,” Barrett said.

“I played from 1996 to 2000 and it’s just insane to watch right now. Kyle is a good player but he doesn’t play year-round and he doesn’t take private lessons like these other No. 1 players do. But he has won four matches this year.”

Reed Gertiesen owns the team’s best singles record, standing at 11-3 at No. 2 singles. Eckert is 2-3 right now at No. 3 singles.

“Griffin Motz and Drake Davenport have really come together and are playing well,” Barrett said. “They are 12-3 right now. They are really starting to play well together.”

Members of the North Posey tennis team celebrate the championship of the Gibson Southern Invitational.

Christian Jones and Grant Scheller are now Barrett’s No. 2 positions into the championship round. Then we beat Gibson doubles team (3-2) and he hopes the new line-up not only gets Southern, technically 4-1 but head-to-head in three matches.” the team some wins but also prepares them for the sectional.

Viking golfers achieve ‘threepeat’ while coach qualifies for Mid-Am finals

By Dave Pearce The North Posey Lady golf Vikings were probably the favorites heading into the Pocket Athletic Conference tournament on Saturday in Oakland City. But sometimes being the favorite can put a bullseye on your back and you get to see everyone’s best outing when you face them.

But it didn’t really matter on Saturday as the Lady Vikings used an incredibly balanced attack to place all five of their players in the top ten (automatically All Conference performers) and the Vikings ran away with their third straight PAC title, running away from the field with a 341.

“The girls played so well and I am so proud of them,” Wassmer said. “All five of them finished in the top ten.

There are seven teams that field a girls’ golf team in the conference.”

“That was really something,” the team’s coach Kevin Wassmer said from Chicago, where he found out on Sunday that he had qualified for match play in the 32nd U.S. MidAmateur Championship in Chicago.

Wassmer’s even par 71 on Sunday assured him a spot in Monday’s match play where he was to face off against Erik Hanson of Kirkland, Wash., at 11:10 a.m. on Monday.

Wassmer said he had been playing a little better lately, claiming his tenth Evansville title just over a week ago.

“This tournament was in Chicago and I could drive to it,” Wassmer explained. “I figured I would try to qualify for it. I went over to St. Louis and played really well.”

The qualifying actually occurred between the two weekend portions of the Evansville City Tournament.

ARENA Harrison beats Lady Cats Mount Vernon finally got enough golfers for a girls’ team just in time for the conference and sectional meets, but they still have a ways to go as far as being competitive is concerned.

The Lady Wildcats dropped a 233-258 decision to the visiting Harrison Lady Warriors Tuesday at Western Hills Country Club.

Hayley Salaman shot a 56 to lead the Lady Wildcats, while Brooke Guinn carded a 62 and Jillian Scherzinger a 69. Jessica Robinson and Kaitlyn Marshall each carded 71s.

On Thursday, the Lady Cats dropped a 204-253 decision at Carmi. Salaman shot a 53 to lead the team, while Scherzinger added a 62. Guinn and Robinson each put in 69s to round out the foursome. Marshall put in a 71.

By Steven Kochersperger The Mount Vernon ladies Cross Country team placed sixth out of 12 teams this past Saturday at the Mater Dei Invitational.

Two of the Wildcat runners are brand new to Cross Country running and individually placed well.

Wildcat Toni Wadell had a very impressive showing as she was the fourth overall runner to cross the finish line Saturday. She cut her time down from last year by 1:26 as she finished with an overall time of 20:48.

The two new runners for Mount Vernon also ran well. Junior Katie McDonald finished 35th with a time of 24:14 and Sophomore Ellie Weilbrenner finished 57th overall with a 26:51 time. Not too bad for two girls who are brand new to the sport!

Rachel Cash (24:30) and MacKenzi McClarney (24:41)finished third and fourth for the Wildcats, 39th and 40th overall. Freshman Kelley McCloud was 42nd overall in the race and finished with a 24:48. Cally Schissler ended up in 63rd crossing the finish at 28:08.

North High School and Memorial High School finished 1st and 2nd in the meet as they both had all 5 of their runners in the top 25.

Retirement, from Page B1 tors that everybody looks up to, while Rick Johnson seemed to have come with New Harmony.

I can’t forget their catchphrases, either.

Larry Zoller always talks about “our awesome swims,” Vicki Rueger always talked about “the guys” and Liz Castle wanted everyone to remember that the soccer Lady Wildcats “were not just MV anymore.”

Lora Osborne, who coached girls’ basketball at Hew Harmony briefly before “Mr. Kahle” took it over, like to talked about how strong her team was.

Sorry to overlook the obvious ones, like Greg Meyers, Brian Smith, Doug Hamm, Larry Kahle, Tom Heckman, Kyle Jones, Jeff May, Franzy Fleck, Steve Mitchell, Leigh Ann Latshaw, Kim Merrick, Jeff Crabtree, Mary Heldt, Mike Kuhn, Paul Rynkiewich, Bill Christianson, Rick LaGrange, Gary Gentil, Eda Jung, Don Sellers, Paul Maier, Jackie Maier, Doug Blair, the list goes on and on. There are too many to mention here and just mentioning their names says nothing of how much they’ve meant these past 23 years.

I think I’m going to miss razzing coach Jung and the rest of the North Posey guidance department as well as the office staff more than anything.

I would never forgive myself if I failed to give a shout out to Rick Wilgus, who often used my tendency to spend too much time in the office as an example of dedication to duty, and whose family was as much fun to be around as it was to watch his teams play basketball.

And of course, “The Mair of Owensville.”

Talk about unforgettable characters. I would, but I can’t print that.

And some of the memories I’m taking with me back to Illinois.

Traveling to the Dome with the 2005 Viking football team was another highlight, as was going to the state baseball finals three times (what a road trip: Wilgus, J.R. Seymour, Mel Redman and Mike Swartzentruber stopping Vincennes and Terre Haute en route to Indy).

Going to North Montgomery with the Viking football team in the mid 1990’s, then

traveling with them to Lawrenceburg and Indy in 2005.

That same year, the baseball team passed North Montgomery going to and from West Lafayette, the second time with the Class 2A state championship trophy.

Talking to Kevin Wassmer after winning the Evansville City Men’s Golf Championship and then as North Posey’s girls’ coach.

Going to Forest Park with the North Posey softball team, watching them battle for four hours to win a Sectional, then going to Indy twice; once, for a heartbreaking loss and then coming up a game short of a state title.

More people.

Virgil Ferguson (whom I don’t do a very believable impression of, for obvious reasons), Chuck Valier, Gary Redman (thanks for keeping tabs on my notebooks), Tom Kopatich, John Wood, Bill Powell, Steve Riordan, Jerry Funkhouser (Kyle was his pup), Steve Britt, Jackson Higgins, Tom McNamara, Scott Mitchell, Jimmy Key, Jerry Rutledge, the Werry’s, the Schmitt’s, just too many to mention.

Ed Cooper, Jr., who I cov-

ered as he sent his pistonengine powerboat out on the river at Thunder on the Ohio and had varying degrees of success against the big guys, winning it one year.

I had the privilege of knowing these people?

Not bad, I guess.

Not bad at all.

I’ve never been to any of my high school class reunions. My own high school days weren’t pleasant and I always felt closer to the schools I covered anyway, but I always liked going to the Mount Vernon M-Club Hall of Fame banquet, because over the years, that became a time to see some of the kids “The Juice” covered and catch up with them.

When Max Dieterle Jr. and the 1999 Football Sectional champs were among the honorees, was probably my favorite.

They were all hard-working kids.

I just hoped I worked as hard in covering them.

Thanks for the memories.

Forgive me if I didn’t mention your name or team.

You were all special.

Time for me to leave the sidelines.

Blake Cobb scored four goals, while Kyle Washburn and Talio Galdino each registered two assists to lead visiting Boonville past the North Posey boys’ soccer team Tuesday night, 8-0.

The Vikings managed to get in a few more licks on Thursday, but still came up short, falling 5-3 at Pike Central. Jace Gentil had two goals for the Vikings.

Jacob Western scored twice as the Chargers took a 2-1 halftime lead and then added three more goals after the intermission.

Medalist effort by Camp not enough for Lady Vikings Maggie Camp earned medalist honors Thursday night, but it wasn’t enough as the North Posey girls’ golf team dropped a 160-166 decision to North at Eagle Valley.

The entire Lady Huskie foursome, led by low scorer Kelsie Droste (38) came in between Camp and number-two Lady Viking Allyson Koester, who shot a 42. Taylor Patton carded a 44 and Kendall Crowder a 46 to round out the foursome.

Perry, Willis boot Lady Vikings past Boonville It was the “BreAnna and Loryn Show” Tuesday night as the North Posey girls’ soccer team posted a 5-1 victory at Boonville.

BreAnna Perry booted in three goals and Loryn Willis added the other two in the Lady Vikings’ win.

Wildcats, from Page B1 ahead 21-0 at halftime.

The second half would be much better for the Wildcats as they began to move the ball in the third quarter.

Though no one would score, the Wildcats played much better as they cut down the penalties and did not turn the ball over in the quarter.

The fourth quarter showed even more promise. With 9:50 left in the game Mount Vernon recovered a fumble giving the Wildcats a chance to score. Less than a minute later, freshman quarterback Kaleb Grabert threw a touchdown pass to wideout Kris McKinney putting the Cats on the board and giving the struggling Wildcats something to cheer about.

Up to this point in the season quarterback has been an

issue for the Wildcats. Five different players have played the position this year and Maier felt good seeing freshman Kaleb Grabert play well today.

“Kaleb played well and played with fire. That’s the way we need to play”, Maier said.

The Alices would put the game out of reach with 2:06 left in the game as Patrick Toole scored his second touchdown of the game, sending the Wildcats to a 1-3 record on the season.

In a game where so much went wrong, one might ask what, if anything, went well today. Coach Maier says its the defense. “Defense played well. If we do a couple things right (on offense) in the beginning of the game, its a dif-

ferent game today”.

Its been a frustrating season for the team and Maier believes the ability to play well is here. “We have the capability, but we have to play smarter. We have a lot of individual players playing well but football is the ultimate team sport. We have to play as a team to be able to win games”, Maier said.

The Wildcats will look to move forward this Friday as the Wildcats host Big Eight Conference opponent Washington Hatchets (2-2) in a mid season game that is important to both teams. Washington is coming off a win at home against North Daviess, beating the Cougars 13-7 this past Friday night. Game time for Friday’s home game is 7 p.m.

North Posey, from Page B1 where it had to be and our defender was there but it was one of those deals where the kid just laid out and caught the thing and stayed in bounds,” Gengelbach said. “He made a great play.”

But on the next possession, the Vikings had a sustained drive that used a lot of the third-quarter clock and resulted in a Neidig field goal to put the team ahead 30-6 heading into the final period.

The Vikings added an insurance touchdown about two minutes into the final period when it would again be Neidig, this time on a 32-yard pass play from Werry.

“We felt like our kids really locked in and played well,” Gengelbach said. “Nick had a very good game as did our other receivers.

Jake had a catch for a touchdown and Tyler Atkins had two or three catches for us in the first half.”

But it all came down to the Vikings having too many effective weapons for the Raiders on this weekend.

“You know, Wes draws a pretty good crowd and when he comes over the ball, it helps us get receivers open down the field,” Gengelbach said. “They played great defense and they always do.”

This weekend will go a long way in determining who could come out of the Pocket Athletic Conference race with a big edge.

But this time, the Vikings will be facing the Heritage Hills Patriots in the jungle on Friday night. The Patriots will more than likely not be in a good frame of mind after dropping a

14-0 decision to Jasper on Friday night.

“This win was a great confidence builder but like I always tell them, enjoy it for a day and a half and on Monday, it is back to work,” Gengelbach said. “We have to get marked back in. They are very physical and they have a couple of players back who were not there when we faced them in the scrimmage.”

The Vikings finished with 117 yards on the ground with Harness leading the way with 97. Colton Martin had 34 and Darren O’Risky had two.

Werry hit for 12-of-19 passes and four touchdowns for a total of 357 yards. Neidig caught five passes for 183 yards and three touchdowns while Bender caught four for 129 and a touchdown. Tyler Adkins caught two passes for 28 yards and James Marshall caught one for 17.

Defensively, the Vikings continued to be incredible with Alex Goebel credited for seven solo tackles and three assists and Eric O’Risky with four solos and six assists. Harness and Little had six solo tackles apiece while Martin, Mitch Kuhn, Darren O’Risky, and Adkinds had four solo tackles apiece.

Neidig, Bender, and Dylan Wright had three solos apiece while Chris O’Risky, Kolby Lary, and Zack Wargel had two apiece. Marshall, Lance Inkebrandt, Nick Heldt, and Dusty Graulich each was credited with a solo. Little also blocked the only extra point attempt made by the Raiders.

The Vikings finished with 474 yards of total offense to 165 for the Raiders.

Lady Cats dispatch Vikings, Boonville, win Invitational

By Dave Pearce By this time in the season, a head volleyball coach is beginning to learn several things about their teams. Two head volleyball coaches found out they know their teams pretty well this week when they faced each other at North Posey High School on Tuesday.

Mount Vernon Coach Andi Allford confirmed what she already knew…she has a very good team that is capable of beating about anyone they face on a given night.

But they still have an area or two that needs improvement.

North Posey first-year head coach Natalie Barnard also confirmed something she already knew. Her team is capable of playing better than their record shows. When they put it all on the line, like they did against Mount Vernon, the team can win.

To say that either teams surprised their coaches would be a mistake. But the rivalry brings out the best in both teams and it is good for the coaches to see the teams play their best.

Early on, the younger and less experienced Vikings proved that they have been learning the fundamentals well under their new coach. North Posey blockers were able to get up and block several of Mount Vernon’s more experienced big hitters.

“I never tell my hitters to ease up if they are getting blocked,” Alford said after the match. “I just tell my coverage to get stronger. We just redirect our game and find an open shot and hopefully our setter is creating a hole in the block with that.”

Mount Vernon volleyball/basketball standout Jacey Ritzert showed the athleticism that has area coaches in awe when they face her. Time after time she hammered into the North Posey blocks. But early on, North Posey was able to get up and make a play.

But that’s when a talented Mount Vernon squad “redirected” their game and got the points they needed to win a close match. The final scores were 25-17, 25-18, and 25-21.

Allford said it is her job to be perhaps over-critical of her team to get them to the highest level they are capable of playing. In assessing their play against the Vikings, she described it nonchalantly “good enough.”

“I felt like they were pretty solid but there were some moments of ‘high school’ play,” Alford said. “They got a lead and then let themselves get comfortable. We are fighting through that right now. There is always room for improvement” The Wildcats’ “comfortable” would be

good enough for some coaches but not for a coach whose senior-laden team is capable of winning the sectional again this season and advancing in tourney play.

Megan Martin, a four-year starting setter for the Wildcats, has seen just about everything that can be thrown at a team in her four years. Even to the casual bystander, her talent and experience is appreciated.

“She’s our quarterback and she will touch every play,” Allford said. “She’s been a four-year varsity starter and it shows. Our hitters are putting the ball down making her look good but she makes great decisions.”

The Vikings and the Wildcats batted even to 17-all in the first game before Mount Vernon’s experience and power took over. The Lady Vikings never scored again.

The second game was almost a carbon copy of the first, with the two teams playing virtually even until the scored was tied at 18.

Mount Vernon then took over and again, the Vikings did not score again.

However, in the third game, Mount Vernon moved out to an early lead and it appeared this one might go quickly. But a combination of tough Viking play and what Mount Vernon’s coach referred to as her team getting “comfortable” allowed the Vikings to get back into the game and in the end, the third game was the closest.

“They get a lead and then they just kind of have a let-down,” she said. “We need a team that won’t let us have that option. And honestly, North Posey was doing kind of the same thing we were there in the third game.

It’s just a matter of finishing all the way through and not letting up.”

Allford complimented North Posey’s Barnard after the match on the improvement of her team. But in the end, Allford knows that with her team’s experience, they should have come out on top. And in the end, they did.

“We work hard on effort for everything so until the ball is on the ground, we don’t give up on it,” Allford said. “If the ball is going to hit the floor, we are going to have bodies on the floor too.”

Ritzert had 15 kills to lead the Wildcats while Duckworth had 12 digs and Martin 35 assists. Martin had four aces.

In reserve action, the Vikings won a very close match by scores of 25-22 and 25-21.

Mount Vernon finished out a very successful week by defeating Boonville in a key Big Eight Conference match on Thursday. Then on Saturday, they gave up only one game in claiming the Mount Vernon In-

Young Wildcats continue to learn, gain varsity experience

By Steven Kochersperger Sometimes in sports one opponent seems to have a lot of opportunities while the other gets very little to no opportunities to score.

That’s the way it went this week with the Mount Vernon boys soccer team as they lost 6-1 in Mount Carmel and 2-0 at home to the Gibson Southern Titans.

In Mount Carmel on Tuesday night the Wildcats struck first and scored on a beautiful goal by (Juli #14) that was assisted by Tyler Head.

“Actually it was kinda nice”, said Wildcats coach Travis Kaiser. “We took the ball down the side to the endline, had a cross, and put it in the back of the net”.

That lone goal was the only goal the Wildcats would see all week. Mount Carmel scored 6 times in that contest beating the wildcats 6-1.

“I don’t think we played well at all in Mount Carmel. We were very inconsistent.

Our lone goal was nice, but we haven’t seen one since”, added Kaiser.

In Thursday’s match at home against the South Gibson Titans, that inconsistency continued. So did the lack of opportunities. The Titans shut out the Wildcats 2-0 scoring one goal in each half of play. The Titans kept the

pressure on the Wildcats and didn’t allow the Wildcats many opportunities to get down the field and shoot the ball.

The Titans defense wasn’t the only reason for the lack of scoring. The Wildcats continue to struggle on offense and according to Kaiser its due to the lack of spacing.

“We didn’t have good spacing. When we are not spaced out, especially in the backfield, we get all crunched up and start playing kickball,” he concluded.

Though the week didn’t go the way the Wildcats would have hoped, Kaiser continues to stress the areas of growth for this team.

“We are stressing playing the ball, spacing, talking, and being active without the ball.

When we do those things and are aggressive with the ball we have a chance to score goals and win. If we don’t do those things we get beat. There’s just been no in between for us for some reason,” said Kaiser.

And though these are things that the Wildcats continue to work on, Kaiser also says that this team is very young and will get better with time.

“We were young last year but we are even younger this year. Its just gonna take time.”

Kaiser concluded.

Wildcats continue torrid pace as sectional time nears

By Steven Kochersperger The weather wasn’t the only thing that was hot on Thursday afternoon at the Mount Vernon High School tennis courts. The Mount Vernon boys tennis team continued to burn up the competition by defeating conference foe Washington Hatchets 4-1. This win brings their overall record to 8-1 on the season.

Jevin Redman defeated Washington’s Lucas Miller 6-0, 6-3 in a great bounce back fashion after losing in singles play the week before. Ross Canada defeated Cory Thomp-

son 6-2,6-3 posting yet another impressive win for Canada. Todd Scheffer defeated Jacob Luttrell 6-4,7-5 keeping the Wildcats undefeated in singles play Thursday.

In doubles play Logan Brown and Hunter Wilson defeated their Hatchet opponents Garrett Burton and John Harner 6-4,6-1. The only loss of the day for the Wildcats came in a hard fought doubles match as Seth Reeves and Luke Steinhart lose to Matthew Pancake and Tyler Stoll 7-5,5-7,6-4.

The JV team also picked up another win on the season beating Washington 3-2.

USI, UE to face off in basketball exhibition Special to the News The University of Southern Indiana and the University of Evansville men’s basketball teams will match-up in the Vectren Community Classic October 27 at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana. The exhibition game is the fourth meeting between the two programs since 2004. Tip-off time is still to be announced.

“USI is very pleased to be a part of this great community event,” said USI Head Coach Rodney Watson. “The city of Evansville has always had a great basketball tradition and this game is the proper tip-off to another great collegiate basketball season.”

Evansville came out on top in the first three exhibition contests that were played at

Roberts Stadium. The Screaming Eagles fell short in 2004, 88-75, but came close to defeating the Purple Aces in the last two exhibition contests.

USI missed a three-pointer with time running in 2006, losing 77-75, and came up short in double-overtime in 2008, 71-67.

Both schools have outstanding traditions in men’s basketball. Evansville won five NCAA College Division national championships before moving to the Division I level in 1977. USI has reached the NCAA Division II Tournament in 13 of the past 16 years, winning the national championship in 1995 and finishing second in 1994 and 2004.

The Eagles have averaged 25 victories per year since 1993.

Posey marching bands perform well early Special to the News Saturday was the opener for the marching season for Indiana high school bands.

Mount Vernon and North Posey performed at the F.J. Reitz Drill on the Hill in Class A. Mount Vernon’s performance with its show titled ‘The Groove Machine’ brought

the Wildcats a first place trophy. North Posey with its show, Searching for the Light, received a second place trophy. North Posey then made its way to the Evansville Central Invitational to perform in Class A. There the Vikings took the Best Percussion award and the second place trophy.

The North Posey Jayvee football team cruised to a 30-8 victory in once again hot and muggy conditions beating the visiting Gibson Southern Titans on Tuesday night at home. This time there was no late-game comeback to cheer for.

“We thought we would give our fans a break,” joked Jayvee football coach Mike Kuhn. “We have probably contributed a little too much lately to fan nervousness and heartstopping action at the end of our games.”

The coach was referring to the two previous come-from-behind wins over South Spencer, where the Vikings came back from an 11-point deficit with four minutes to play and at Mount Vernon, a comeback win down 42-21 with eight minutes remaining. In both those games, the North Posey Jayvee won by total of just points. The team defeated South Spencer 42-37 and Mount Vernon 43-42. But that was not the case Tuesday night as the Viking defense finally put the clamps down on their opponent holding Gibson Southern to just eight total points.

The game began with a North Posey drive after the Titans elected to kick off with freshman quarterback Preston Reese taking a bootleg run into the end zone from 13 yards out to make the score North Posey 6 Gibson Southern 0, the PAT kick failed. Lance Inkenbrandt and Darren O’Risky provided most of the running game on that drive with short runs as the Viking offense marched down the field behind the blocking of a sophomoreladen line that included center Andy Herrmann, guard Blayke Dillman, guard Brock Morris, tackle Justin Orth, and tackle Quinten Phillips.

Neither team was able to score again until North Posey connected on a 22-yard touchdown catch and run from sophomore quarterback Aaron Droste to O’Risky in the second quarter. This time the Vikings elected to go for the two-point conversion on the very same play and O’Risky once again hauled in a Droste pass to give the Vikings a 14-0 lead.

The Titans responded almost immediately with a drive of their own culminating in a 2-yard plunge into the end zone by sophomore running back Dominik Richardville.

Gibson Southern’s freshman quarterback Nick Sellers hit Richardville for the twopoint conversion pass to make the score 14-8 in favor of the Vikings.

The Titans threatened again after blocking

a North Posey punt in the second quarter, but the Viking defense held to end the quarter with a lead of 14 -8.

The third and fourth quarters were led by North Posey with sophomore running back Lance Inkenbrandt providing most of the spark on a 50-yard touchdown run with eight minutes left in the third period. He followed that with a 2-point conversion run to make the score North Posey 22 and Gibson Southern 8.

The final scores of the game came with just under six minutes left in the fourth quarter as Inkenbrandt scored again on a 30-yard run and Reese followed with a another two-point conversion run leaving the final score North Posey 30 and Gibson Southern 8.

Leading the Viking defensive efforts were Inkenbrandt, Drew Cumbee, Darren O’Risky, Paul Szubinski, Dallas Glover, and Jacob McClain. Each had numerous tackles and assists.

“Griffin Weithop had a great game on defense too,” commented Jayvee coach Patrick Rose. “He was in on many tackles, had a deflection, and an interception he ran back 17 yards.”

Inkenbrandt had five tackles, two deflections, and one fumble recovery. Szubinski added a sack for a ten-yard loss to his three tackles and four assists.

“Paul has come back from some early injuries to really play well for us,” Rose said. “He and the rest of the team showed great effort on both defense and offense.”

The Viking defense had three interceptions on the night. Besides Weithop’s, Aaron Droste and Bryce Martin each added a pickoff of an errant Titan pass.

“Our defensive line showed up to play tonight,” said Rose. Supporting that statement were Glover’s three tackles and three assists.

One of those tackles was for a 3-yard loss and the other a sack for a minus five yards late in the game.

“We expect our older players to provide the leadership on the field, said coach Kuhn.

“Darren (O’Risky), Drew (Cumbee), and Dallas (Glover) certainly provided that,” he added. The special teams play of Bailey Porter also drew rave reviews from the coaches during the Viking victory. The sophomore cornerback had three tackles and one assist while playing mostly on the kickoff team.

The young Vikings are 3-0 and are in action next at 6 pm. on Monday, Sept. 10 at Southridge. Gibson Southern fell to 2 – 1 and will be in action next versus the Booville Pioneers’ reserves.

Lady Vikings show they can play up a level, gain revenge against Memorial

By Dave Pearce While the Mount Vernon Wildcats saw the match with North Posey on Tuesday probably not as important as key Big Eight Conference matches and an Invitational they had later in the week, both coaches agreed that the rivalry is good for the teams and it seems to bring out the best in both. Perhaps North Posey first-year coach Natalie Barnard had more reason for optimism at the conclusion at the match. Her inexperienced young Vikings had just played toe-to-toe with one of the area’s best teams and according to their coach, all they needed to do

was finish.

“We played against a very good team and we played well,” Barnard said after the game. “This is probably right there near the top of out best efforts. We have had a couple of rough games just recently. We have a very tough week of practice and the girls came out wanting to really show what they have been working on. But as far as effort goes, they gave it their best effort tonight.”

The Vikings played the 10-2 Mount Vernon Wildcats to 17-all in the first game before succumbing to the power and the pressure of the Mount Vernon attack. The

second game was nearly a copy of the first as they were even at 18 before freezing up and not scoring again in the contest.

“As far as effort goes, the girls gave it their best effort tonight,” Barnard said. “It definitely helps that it was a rival and I was actually excited that it was Mount Vernon.

I had no nerves and I think they just wanted to come out and get ready to go.”

The fact that the Vikings were able to block Mount Vernon’s big hitter was not a big surprise to Barnard. The area they have worked on most recently is being able to put the ball down.

“I know we have a pretty strong blocking team,” she explained. “My only concern is that the middle is the hardest position and you have to go from one side to the other to close a block. But any drill that we do we are constantly working on that. Just putting the ball away has been our biggest struggle right now.”

But despite improved play and a very entertaining match with some unbelievable shots coming from both sides of the floor, Barnard is never happy with a loss. She knows her team is young and is improving and she knows the girls will be seeing Mount Vernon later in the year.

North Posey is generally lead by senior Jordan Butler and the coach had nothing but kind words for her anchor.

“She is a team leader and is a spirited young person,” Barnard said with a smile.

“It’s funny because we and I are sometimes mistaken as sisters. She is a young player who just wants to know more about the game and she is constantly taking advice and working hard every day at practice. She wants to be there. And when you have that type of player out there as a leader, it just makes your job as a coach so much easier.”

But the coach’s praise was not reserved just for Butler.

“Every single one of the girls is like that,” Barnard said. “They come out ready to go. They are out there working everyday and when volleyball practice starts, that’s what they are thinking about for the next two hours.”

Barnard is hoping she can find the secret to making the team come out and play as well and as spirited as they

North Posey senior Jordan Butler nearly does does the splits as she receives a serve during volleyball action this week against Mount Vernon. Photo by Dave Pearce did against the Wildcats.

“If we can do that, we will be a very competitive volleyball team,” Barnard said.

“We just have to be consistent and make smart, aggressive plays. I have an entirely new team with the exception of Jordan Butler and Bri Brown. I have been lucky top have gotten to know some of them from eighth grade and club volleyball but the varsity level is a whole different style.

“As far as tonight goes, I really don’t think it was nerves that caused us to lose focus at 17-all in the first game and 18-all in the second,” she said. “It’s just the fact that that is the time they have to focus on putting the ball away and finishing the game. And being so young, they don’t realize that every shot does not have to be a full-blown swing.

You can pick your shots and your spots. It is something that we are working on and will get better at as we go along. When we see Mount Vernon again at the end of the year, I want it to be to a point to where it could go three games our way instead of three games theirs. I just want to see them get better.”

Butler led the Vikings with three kills while Butler and Robertson had three blocks apiece. Brown and Hannah

Harness each had seven digs and Butler added an ace.

In the end, the coach concluded, her team’s goal is the same as everyone else’s, and that is to win their respective sectional tournaments. They

took a step toward that goal be defeating powerful Memorial in Saturday’s Mount Vernon Invitational before falling to the hosts and eventual champion Wildcats and highly-ranked Barr-Reeve.

also asked to coach a number of sports— among them, boys’ and girls’ basketball, baseball and cross country.

After about 10 years of teaching and coaching, he finally planted his feet squarely on the golf course with both the boys’ and girls’ golf teams, and he’s never looked back, not even since his retirement

in 2000. He coached boys’ golfers for 23 years. He coached girls’ golf, starting with the first team formed with nine girls in 1997, until he retired. He speaks with obvious pride in the success of his girls, all of whom played and won not only individual matches, but two conference titles and a sectional title. Beyond that, he adds, five of those girls played college golf.

The now 70-year-old McNamara played very little golf himself in college, having earned a baseball scholarship at Indiana Central, now the University of Indianapolis. His interest and practice in the sport started in earnest only after he graduated from college. Since then, he’s played and won trophies in any number of local tournaments, but his heart has remained forever young. He loves to teach high school students how to improve their swing and possesses the patience of Job with new and inexperienced golfers.

He can be found any evening on the driving range at the MAC Center, owned by his son Dan and daughter-in-law Angie. It’s a safe wager, he won’t be found there alone. For the past 15 years, he has offered a June golf camp at the MAC Center with students rang-

ing in age from 4 to 18. Even now, girls’ golf coach Dave Bell counts on McNamara to train his young players. Likewise, McNamara offers golf instruction to kids just wanting to learn a lifetime sport.For payment, he says, many of them help him maintain the driving range at the MAC Center—picking up balls, mowing the grass, repairing divots. Otherwise, McNamara wants only for his students to have fun and develop a passion for golf.

When he isn’t on the golf course, McNamara is managing the scoreboard for Mount Vernon’s home football games.

He also loves to hunt with his two dogs— Dancer, a bird dog that was a gift from a friend, and Mocha, his chocolate Lab. He has been married to Posey County native Sondra Naab for 48 years. Like her husband, she enjoys staying active and teaches an exercise class for seniors every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9 a.m. inside the MAC Center. In addition to their son Dan, the couple has been blessed with a son Marc (Wendy) and a daughter Amber. Dan works as a civil engineer at Qualex in Mount Vernon; Marc, as a research chemist for Image Inks in Evansville; and Amber, as a animal acupuncturist at Cape Coral, Fla. Everyone enjoys attending the volleyball, basketball and baseball games of Tom and Sondra’s grandson Drake and granddaughter Drew.

BY STATE REPRESENTATIVE WENDY MCNAMARA

A

s a resident of Southwest Indiana, it is important to remind ourselves of the true treasures we hold in our backyards. Indiana is a melting pot for a wide variety of cultures and lifestyles, but we are unified in our Hoosier heritage. The same can be said about New Harmony.

The rich history of this once utopian society serves as a reminder to Hoosiers that great things can happen in the smallest of places.

In the 1800s, New Harmony was a center for advancing education and scientific research.

Its residents were forward-thinking in their construction of one of the first, free public libraries in the country – the Working Men’s Institute.

The prominent Owen family resided in the small, quaint town of New Harmony. Robert Dale Owen went on to serve as a US Congressman and created the Smithsonian Institution. Richard Owen, a state geologist and professor was Purdue University’s first president in 1872. The list of New Harmony’s residents

By Pam Robinson Westsiders Charlie Haas and Dave Wire will welcome morning both days at Kunstfest with the rich, sonorous sound of their 13-foot Alpine horns. Out on the roof of the Atheneum, the two musicians hope the sound bounces off buildings and wafts through all of New Harmony.

Seen on Ricola commercials, the Alpine horn has a long history, dating back to at least the 16th century. As Haas explains, the horn was used for communication—for example, to signal danger—and to herd cattle.

Most of his life, Haas has played the trombone, his instrument of choice when he plays with the Rhein Valley Band. For his part, Wire is accomplished on the bagpipes, and the retired Evansville police officer often plays for police funerals.

Their experience with these instruments helped them to readily adapt to the lip service required to play the Alpine horn. The length of the Alpine horn places it in the key of F. With no keys to press, the instrument changes pitch according to the placement of the lips on

CHARLIE

the mouthpiece. Similarly, the loudness of the sound depends on the force of breath behind a note.

Haas and Wire formed their duo after one of Haas’s grade school friends, Melvin Howell, donated two Alpine horns, valued at $3,500 each, to Germania Maennerchor in Evansville back in 2000. Hearing Haas play, Wire decided he wanted to try making music on the Alpine horn, too.

The two have practiced together since then every Thursday morning at the Germania Maennerchor lodge on N. Fulton.

They play twopart harmony with Haas scaling the high notes and Wire reaching the low notes. The gentlemen dream of a third Alpine horn enthusiast joining them so they can play three-part harmony.

In fact, Haas says, “the more, the merrier,” when it comes to bringing together Alpine horn musicians.

Both he and Wire have heard as many as eight Alpine horns playing at the same time, and they say the sound is incredible.

Upon hearing Haas and Wire play their two-part harmony, music lovers will judge their Alpine horn renditions of German folk music as pretty incredible also.

what you will find in the numerous antique shops that the town has to offer. These shops are fun to stroll into as you relive childhood memories and peruse through collectibles.

Make a weekend of your trip to New Harmony by staying at the New Harmony Inn. This small, bed and breakfast has 90 rooms that provide great lake views and sprawling grounds with waterfalls and fountains. After the day’s activities have left you famished, look no further than the award-winning Red Geranium restaurant, a romantic setting for a night out. Pop’s Grill and Old Fashioned Ice Cream Shop is also a great place for a burger and a shake, but if you are looking for pizza and beer, Yellow Tavern is the place to be.

A vacation does not necessarily have to be a trip to a faraway destination. Being on the Wabash River, New Harmony is a great getaway or even a “staycation” that offers all the amenities and time for relaxation.

By Pam Robinson As a junior in high school, Kunstfest favorite Helen Kiesel ditched her accordion she’d played since the age of 8 once Elvis and the Beatles popularized their gyrating guitars. She didn’t want to be a square. Just 14 years ago, the 72-year-old Kiesel once again picked up an accordion—this time, an electric accordion, and rekindled a love affair with the instrument.

“I get so much out of it now.

It all came back and more,”

says Kiesel, who plays by note and by ear. “I enjoy it more now. I just love it.”

Once again this year, for the thirteenth straight year, she will delight the Kunstfest crowd with old German music— schottische, waltz and polka tunes—from 12:30 – 3:30 p.m., both Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 15 and 16. Perched on Andrew Wilson’s front porch facing Main, Kiesel indeed gets her audience moving with her rendition of the chicken dance.

Every year, folks can’t help but pour onto Main Street to flap and wiggle like chickens.

Kiesel first took an interest in the accordion when she listened and watched her neighbor Neal Kraft play at the Hornville Tavern and Dance Hall, directly across the road from her childhood home and about six miles from her current Haubstadt home. (The dance hall still stands today and serves the community on special occasions.) After pleading with her

The Harmonist Labyrinth Located on New Harmony’s South Main Street, the Harmonist Labyrinth was originally built around 1815.

The present maze was reconstructed between the years of 1939 and 1941 on a site adjacent to the original Labyrinth. The hedges were planted according to a pattern established by the Harmony Society: a concentric circular design with only one path.

A small stone building called a grotto is placed at the centre, an authentic restoration of The Harmonist grotto.

The late Mrs. Edmund Ball of Muncie provided the funds for its reconstruction, and it is currently maintained by Historic New Harmony and The University of Southern Indiana.

It is open admission-free year round.

parents, they finally relented and bought her an accordion.

“The dance music stuck with me,” Kiesel says. “I got my love of music at the Hornville Dance Hall.”

Today, that dance music rejuvenates many senior centers, particularly in area nursing homes. Kiesel stays busy weekdays playing for thirteen nursing homes every month.

Several weekends during the year, she plays at festivals similar to Kunstfest and for anniversary parties and weddings.

In addition, Kiesel has a serious side. She plays old hymns in the parish of Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Haubstadt during worship three or four times a month. Her somber melodies are requested for funerals as well.

Whatever the occasion, Kiesel plays songs on her electric accordion sure to soothe the soul. Traditional music lovers throughout the Tri-State can be glad she learned it’s hip to be square.

Vibrant colors of Black, red, and gold will blanket autumns earthy display throughout New Harmony on Saturday, September 15, and Sunday, September 16, when the towns business associates kick off the 30th Annual Kunstfest celebration.
