Council addresses Poseyville off-roads Special to the News The Poseyville Town Council addressed an age-old safety and legal issue regarding off-road vehicles on the town’s streets. The ordinance was adopted at the meeting on Wednesday.

Ordinance No. 2019-09-11-01 Operation of Off-Road Vehicles on Town Streets was presented to the Council. The Council was advised by Attorney William Bender that the said Ordinance follows Indiana Code regarding offroad vehicles. There was a discussion regarding the age of drivers, the use of helmets, fines, car seats, and streets upon which off-road vehicles will still be forbidden within town limits. A copy of the ordinance and its remedies appears on Page 11 of today’s Posey County News.

There was also a discussion regarding SCBA bottles and the election of officers to be held by the Fire Department, with the officers to be presented to Members of the Little Mister and Miss River Days are pictured above.

Final two apprehended from ‘Operation Guillotine’ nabbed Special to the News Zachary Pribble of Evansville and Macer Ours of Mount Vernon, both charged with dealing drugs in Posey County, are now lodged in the Posey County Jail.

Pribble, 27, was recently located and apprehended in Cass County, Texas, and Ours, 21, was arrested in Roane County, Tennessee. Both offenders have since been transported to the Posey County Jail, where they remain held on bond awaiting trial.

On April 26, 2019, the Posey County Drug Task Force, along with the Posey County Sheriff’s Office, Mount Vernon Police Department, Indiana State Police, as well as many other law enforcement officials from local, state and federal agencies, executed arrest warrants stemming from an undercover drug investigation termed “Operation

Guillotine.” More than 36 arrests were made in what was the largest drug raid in Posey County history. However, some suspects were unable to be located and their arrest warrants remained outstanding.

Since that date, the Posey County Drug Task Force, working closely with out-of-state agencies and law enforcement personnel, has been able to identify the location of Pribble and Ours and successfully transport both to the custody of the Posey County Sheriff’s Office. Since their arrest, both Pribble and Ours have confessed to dealing methamphetamine in Posey County.

“There is an old saying in law enforcement – you can run, but you can’t hide,” commented Posey County Drug

River Days ‘Pay it Forward’ winners from all around Posey

By Lois Mittino Gray Six nonprofit groups, representing all corners of the county, received monetary awards as winners in the Mount Vernon River Days “Pay It Forward” program. The Awards Committee describes the award as “dedicated to the betterment and enhancement of Posey County through gifts of service and money to deserving groups and organizations.”

Mary Rhoades, Chairman of the Award Committee, said this year’s recipients were selected from among ten applications. A total of $2,000 was distributed to the winners. Representatives from the six groups were presented checks in similar amounts at the festival stage on Saturday afternoon, September 14. This is

the third year for the award program and money for it is raised through fund raisers, like monthly biscuits and gravy, and individual donations.

The six groups receiving money are the Smith Township Volunteer Fire Department of Cynthiana, American Legion Post of Poseyville, Posey Humane Society, Posey County Council of Aging, At The Cross Mission, Inc., and the Homeless Shelter of Mount Vernon.

Smith Township Volunteer Fire Department Chief Christopher Sims requested money to purchase safety equipment. “In an effort to best protect our members; our primary goal is to put this money toward extrication gloves. Currently, our firefighters are using basic fire fighting gloves, which are great for cuts and abrasions,

but result in a significant loss of manual dexterity during extrication efforts. These gloves, which cost $50 a pair, can provide as much as twenty times the cut resistance as the basic gloves,” he wrote in the application.

Homeless Shelter of Mount Vernon President Marilyn Curtis requested money to replace three stoves and a washer for her group.

“Our group has three fully-furnished homes that can be used as temporary shelters for up to three months. Our goal is to move families on to more permanent homes. Since 1994, the group has housed 206 families,” she explained.

“We need to replace the three stoves that have been in the homes for over twenty years, as we encourage families to eat meals together. We

need to replace our washing machine that is leaking oil. It gets heavy use, as it shared by two families in our duplex and board members use it to wash towels and bedding before each guest family moves in.”

At The Cross Mission Inc., founded by Pastor Myers Hyman in 2007, has two locations to help those in need. One site is located on Mount Vernon’s Main Street and supplies clothing and furnishings. The other is at 710 Locust Street, Suite 138, at the old Hedges School site.

The Mission serves one meal every Monday through Friday there at no cost. On any given day, the mission will serve from 20 to some-

Giving back...It’s never just a show Mount Vernon High School graduate honored with Performing Arts Award

By Lois Mittino Gray Mount Vernon native Kevin Roach wants to instill in his actors in productions at Mount Vernon High School and the Evansville Civic Theatre the love of the craft as an art form. “It’s never just a show. All should strive to make it a professional-level quality work of art in everything they do on stage.”

The dedicated director was honored in August, when he was selected from among three other area directors and artists nominated, to receive the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana Award for Performing Arts this year. He was presented a handmade original ceramic plate, with an origami design on it, from Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke. He was thrilled when the Mayor, a former Board President of Civic Theatre, thanked him for keeping the theater going all these years later. The award plate is on display on the theatre’s wall for all to see.

The Mount Vernon High School Class of

(USPS 439-500)

2002 alumnus attributes his own high school director, Paul Swanson, with planting the seed of loving acting just for the craft of it. “I always enjoyed acting ever since I was a little kid. Mr. Swanson taught me to never think of it as just another show. It had to be a work of art. I knew I would go into acting upon graduation, but I never saw directing on my radar at first, I just sort of fell into it and it snowballed,” he said, enthusiastically. His parents, Toni and Herman Roach, were very encouraging.

The award-winning artist started acting in productions at Civic Theatre and with D’Alto Studios in the early 2000’s. He tried his hand at directing to help out with a few plays in 2013 and 2014. He was fully hired as the Artistic Director at Civic in 2016. From there, he was promoted to Managing Artistic Director, a full time position, as he now manages the business side of the operation, too. This includes fundraisers, vendors, and keeping up a building over

one hundred years old. This necessitated a move from Mount Vernon to Evansville and he is presently relocating his residence.

Roach is currently directing a stage adaptation of the novel, “Lord of the Flies” for the Civic Theatre. Roach’s favorite productions seem to be literary ones like this. He loved doing “The Crucible,” Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None,” and “The Diary of Anne Frank.”

He loves to read as a hobby and often passes the time on the road listening to audio books.

Roach also commutes to Mount Vernon where he directs the annual fall play. He started doing this in 2015 with literary works, such as “Frankenstein” and Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “Macbeth,” which he referred to as the “quintessential comedy and Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke presented tragedy.”

This week Roach is starting on this year’s fall the Arts Council Award for Performing Arts to Civic Theatre Managing Artistic Director, Continued on Page A11 and Mount Vernon Alumni, Kevin Roach.

Many of us who live in Posey ties.

Most of these nocturnal, County know that the little pointy-eared armored animal solitary animals are hit on the

road at night while foraging for food. Just this August, Derek and LeAnn Latshaw found one attened on Sand Road, near Rush Creek, by the Posey County Fairgrounds.

They thought it was an opossum at ďŹ rst, but backed up to look at it, and realized it was what some call “an opossum on the half shell.â€? Conservation OďŹƒcer Paul Axton was sent a picture of one belly up on Interstate 64, near the Welcome Center by GriďŹƒn last week. Local farmer Tim Wiley said he saw one just the other day about ten miles south of Carmi, Illinois. Jim and I saw one run in front of Phillip Werry’s golf cart one night as we were riding around with them by Lake Barkley. Thought it was an opossum at ďŹ rst, too.

The ďŹ rst conďŹ rmed sighting in Indiana was in 2003, dead on I-64 in Gibson County “just this side of the Wabash Riverâ€?, according to ISU Wildlife Professor Emeritus of Biology, who has studied the food habits of these interesting critters at Cumberland Island, Georgia. DNR oďŹƒcials believe there have been about 32 reports in the state in recent years. On January 2, 2017 the Indiana Department of Natural Resources District 8 Law Enforcement Facebook page posted pictures of a dead armadillo recovered by an Indiana conservation oďŹƒcer, near the town of Gatchel in Perry County. The unfortunate animal had become, to use one of the more colloquial nicknames for the roadkill-prone animals, a ‘Hillbilly Speed Bump.’

Armadillos eat grubs, beetles, ants, termites and worms, with amphibians and small reptiles mixed in some meals.

Nine-banded armadillos have been observed to roll about on ant hills to dislodge and consume the resident ants, which they seek out with their pointy nose and sticky tongue. They love to burrow in sandy soil, earning them yet another nickname, ‘Grave Digger’.

On an interesting note, armadillos can carry the bacteria responsible for leprosy. “I don’t think it’s anything to be concerned about, but I wouldn’t fool with them,� Dr. Whitaker said.

An article written by Dr. Julia Whittington, Director of the Wildlife Medical Clinic at the University of Illinois shares this advice about the spread of armadillos in the Midwest.

Don’t get close to the creature and appreciate their uniqueness from a distance. “All wild animals can be carriers of disease, and every eort should be made to prevent direct contact between wild animals and domestic pets or people,â€? she notes. “Ninebanded armadillos can carry the bacterial organism that causes leprosy, a skin infection that was historically associated with fear and stigmatization of aected persons. Today, leprosy infection in humans is highly treatable, and the bacterium does not survive well in the environment, but why take the chance?â€?

in fact, that parts were no longer available for this model. That fact pretty much sealed the deal on my looking for a new refrigerator, as I’m sure it wasn’t at all energy-eďŹƒcient, either. Oh, joy, shopping. One of my least-favorite activities.

When I’m looking for an item, I check online for reviews on the product. As a refrigerator (and, as it turns out, a range, as well) is a major purchase, this called for major product reviews.

Major. What color (black, white, or stainless steel (black!)?

What size (how many cubic feet do I need – not 27, for sure)?

Glass shelves or wire shelves (duh – glass!). Ice maker or not (not – too many people have problems with them). I – no kidding – read at least one hundred reviews on dozens of prospective new members of my household menagerie. And then I read some more. I went to several stores – more than once - and talked to employees. I read more reviews. Then, one recent afternoon, I decided enough was enough. I had all the information I could ďŹ nd and needed. Basically, the refrigerators (and ranges!) in my price range were pretty much the same. It simply came down to pointing at one and saying, “I’ll take it.â€? So I did.

So now it’s hurry up and wait. For delivery. Because, of course, stores don’t stock appliances. They have to order them from a warehouse or manufacturer or someplace I don’t even know about. Delivery was fairly easy to set up. A date was given. The delivery company called the evening prior to the agreed upon date to give a four-hour window of arrival, then called half an hour before they appeared at my home, even earlier than had been scheduled! Very good! And the two gentlemen who moved the new refrigerator and range into place (spots vacated when yours truly moved the old appliances to another part of the kitchen. Makes for tight quarters for about 10 days!) were eďŹƒcient and professional. They had everything moved in, plugged in,

averages below 28 degrees, but experts believe that the southern third of Indiana will likely become part of the home range of these relatives of the sloth and anteater in time. In some winters, it could be a possibility they’re going to get wiped out by the cold. “More mild winters can actually allow these animals to survive, and if they can survive the winter, then they’ll be able to keep ďŹ nding insects throughout the year,â€? said Brad Westrich, DNR mammologist. “You may see more armadillos in your neighborhood, but you shouldn’t be afraid. They’re nearly deaf and blind.â€? If you ďŹ nd one, dead or alive, he asks that you get in touch with him at the DNR so he can add the details to his database and get a lot of useful information.

Before you pooh-pooh their existence, remember they are intriguing little armored animals that can jump straight up 3-4 feet in the air, hold their breath for six minutes at a time and walk along river bottoms.

Can you?

turned on, instructions given, and paperwork signed in less than half an hour. Thanks, guys (and I gave them the “5� rating on the phone survey which followed shortly after they left!).

Now, what about the old(er) appliances? The local energy company has a recycle program in which they remove refrigerators that have outlived their usefulness, and will pay me $50, as well. Score! The date for pick-up is more than a week away, so for now I live with two refrigerators in my kitchen, as the one being recycled must be in running condition. I can live with two fridges in my kitchen for this little bit of time. And the range? It works just ďŹ ne; I only replaced it to match my new refrigerator. I posted on Facebook that the range was for sale. I sold it in about ďŹ ve minutes – seriously. The family who purchased it can’t pick it up for a couple of days, so for the time being my front porch is sporting its very own electric range! My granddaughters got a good giggle when they say the range on the porch! The granddaughters also had fun moving all the pictures and magnets from the old refrigerator to the new one.

The decision on which appliances to purchase, while important to me (and the safety of my food!), is, in the grand scheme of my life, fairly innocuous, but, as you read earlier in this story, fairly lengthy, too. I sometimes (often?!) tend to over think a decision, second-guessing myself to the point of not being able to sleep, wondering if I made the right decision. We all do that, don’t we?

It ďŹ nally comes down to trusting that you have checked out the options that make the most sense and deciding which one works for you. If we make a decision that doesn’t work out the way we expected, we have at least learned to make a better decision the next time. And the next. Just keep moving forward.

And, thank you, old refrigerator. You served me well. And that’s all that matters this week!

As I sit on my front porch reecting on the weekend (and stalling on unpacking my car, lol!) I’m overwhelmed with appreciation! I have the best Committee EVER and because of them I’m continually receiving positive remarks of this weekend! And joining this committee to get the job done we had some amazing volunteers who stepped up before, during and/or after the festival! Thank you so very much! I am truly blessed.

Yesterday was an absolutely gorgeous day! It was sandwiched between two signiďŹ cantly warmer days, but the weekend was spectacular! Thanks to all the vendors, sponsors and all of you that visited River Days

Mr. A.H. Holloman owned and operated a gravel pit near the small town of Frederick, Tillman County in southwest Oklahoma. The pit is about one half mile wide and 7 miles long. Holloman discovered numerous artifacts of ancient human occupation in the pit in 1920. The supposed age of the items suggested modern civilized Homo sapiens created them 130,000 years ago.

However since this conicted with the generally accepted theory that Homo sapiens arose in the Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania, Africa 60,000 to 80,000 years ago, the scientiďŹ c community discarded the archeological evidence at the Holloman dig for many years.

spite the fact that approximately 20 percent of ninebanded armadillos carry this bacterium, risk of transmission between armadillos and people is very low, only occurring through direct handling or harvesting these animals for food.� There is a greater risk if the animal meat is eaten.

Armadillos also were nicknamed ‘Poor Man’s Pork,’ and ‘Hoover Hog,’ when they were eaten during the Depression down South.

While you should be wary and keep your distance, armadillo bites aren’t a concern.

Their mouths are small, and their teeth are like pegs, so “unless you stick your ďŹ ngers in their mouth, they’re not going to bite,â€? she said. Of bigger concern are the claws, which “will nick a person if they try to pick up the armadillo.â€? They really can freak out your dog, she noted.

Armadillos are expanding their northward range as the climate changes and warms.

Biologists say that the animals cannot form stable colonies where the January temperature

New stuff

I was fortunate that, when I moved into my B B R

current home, all appliances were included.

Whew – one less expense at that time! I knew that they were all of dierent vintages and would eventually need to be replaced, but that was some time in the future. For a couple of those appliances, it’s time.

My refrigerator was beginning to act as if it were not feeling well. Sometimes items in the fridge seemed to be, well, a bit less cold than they should. Not warm, just not as cold. Hmm‌time to check things out to see what might be the problem.

The refrigerator is of the side-by-side variety. I, to be honest, severely dislike this variation of the cooling-type appliance because, well, the freezer section is too narrow to hold anything of substance. I rarely – very rarely – purchase frozen pizza, but, on the rare occasion that I do, the freezer is not wide enough to store the box. Now there’s a good reason to continue not buying pizza!

There is a “test� for refrigerators to see if the gasket has a good seal between the doors and the frame of the refrigerator. A piece of paper closed in the door at the top of the refrigerator held tightly. Woo hoo! Hold on, Beth, what are those little chunks along the top? Pieces of gasket, disassociating themselves from the mother gasket. OK, that’s not good. Next to test the gasket along the side of the door. And the paper almost falls out on its own. Not good at all. So, refrigerator, you failed the gasket test.

But gaskets can be replaced, right?

Not, it seems, when the refrigerator was manufactured in 1992.

Twenty-seven years ago? Yep. This refrigerator had cooled food and drinks for a very long time, an almost unheard-of length of time in these days of seemingly planned obsolescence. So long,

Hoosier farmers are no strangers to working hard and adapting to the weather, but 2019 has been especially diďŹƒcult. Earlier this year, many across the state grappled with heavy rains and ooding, which caused delays during planting season and damage to property.

Farmers in our area may now qualify to receive federal assistance if they show at least a 30% loss in crop production or a physical loss to livestock, livestock products, real estate or other property. If approved, farmers can borrow up to 100% of production or physical losses for a maximum amount of $500,000. Those with existing Farm Service Agency loans who are unable to make payments may also be eligible to have certain payments deferred.

The deadline to apply is April 29, 2020.

In the beginning ‌ Then Professor David Deming of Oklahoma University published an article claiming modern humans may have originated in Oklahoma. Deming (born 1954 in Terre Haute, Indiana) graduated from North Central High School in Indianapolis, Indiana then graduated from Indiana University in 1983 with a BS degree in geology. He earned his PhD in geophysics from the University of Utah in 1988.

As a matter of full disclosure, I am an Indiana University graduate and currently live in both Indiana and Oklahoma. Most importantly, I garnered all my information about Professor Deming and his research from Wikipedia. At least it wasn’t Twitter.

Anyway, as a member of the faculty of the National Judicial College in Reno, Nevada I am currently helping to teach an on-line course to sitting judges. The course concentrates on

courthouse security, ethics, court technology and what are the proper roles and behaviors for America’s judges with an emphasis on rural courts and judges new to the Bench. A rural court is deďŹ ned as a jurisdiction having one to three judges and a less urban atmosphere. Mr. Joseph Sawyer, long-time NJC sta and faculty member, is in charge of the course that relies on several experienced judges as teachers.

At our ďŹ rst class session for 2019 which was Thursday, September 12 the general discussion pertained to what cultural purposes do judges serve and what do and should citizens expect when they attend court. In other words, what, if anything, other than wearing black robes and pontiďŹ cating do Americans perceive judges to do?

Since I had just last weekend read about Professor Deming’s work, as we engaged in class discussions about

the proper role of judges, I merged my thoughts of history and modern judicial culture. I asked myself what is it you, that is I, have been doing as a judge for the past 39 years and has any of it mattered other than to provide me a paycheck? Basically, what is a judge and what should be a judge?

While I should have been concentrating on the interesting comments of my fellow faculty members and our student judges I found myself musing about the folks that inhabited the Holloman gravel pit about 130,000 years ago. That’s probably about the time society decided we needed some way other than clubs to resolve disagreements. I envisioned three families of the earliest Homo sapiens existing in proximity in three separate huts. Let’s imagine the wife of the man in hut number 1 decides to decorate her hut with owers that only grow beside hut

The judge suggests a compromise whereby the owers are shared and the wives in huts 1 and 2 work together to beautify both huts as well as the judge’s hut with the participation of wife 3 (was this our ďŹ rst courthouse?).

Crisis averted. Peace restored. Justice done. A system of justice created.

Gentle Reader, I confess that in my humble opinion, judging really is about that straight forward. All the rest is just window dressing.

many seniors who would love to have someone to listen to their memories. These stories should be their legacy. In this time of reality shows, and other sad examples of the socalled entertainment the current generation watches, we can all make a dierence.

I am always pleased when someone comes up to me and tells me how much they enjoy this column, and how they can relate to various parts of it. In this current time, a major part

of our brains is consumed with worry and disappointments.

Everyone, despite their age, has more important things stored up there. Old joints might ache, some of that pain can be helped by having a chance to go back and concentrate on younger, happier times. Even the sad parts, like wars and deaths can be resolved in part by telling the story.

DAR Promotes Constitution Week There are two documents of paramount importance to American history: the Declaration of Independence, which forged our national identity, and the United States Constitution, which set forth the framework for the federal government that is still in use today. While Independence Day is a beloved national holiday, fewer people know about Constitution Week, an annual commemoration of the living document that upholds and protects the freedoms central to our American way of life. This year, the annual celebration begins September 17, 2019.

The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) initiated the observance in 1955, when the organization petitioned the U.S. Congress to dedicate September 17–23 of each year to the commemoration of Constitution Week.

Congress adopted the resolution, and on August 2, 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed it into Public Law 915. The celebration’s goals are threefold: to encourage the study of the historical events that led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787; to inform people that the Constitution is the basis of America’s great heritage and the foundation of our way of life; and to emphasize U.S. citizens’ responsibility to protect, defend and preserve the Constitution.

DAR has been the foremost advocate for the awareness, promotion and celebration of Constitution Week. This annual observance provides innumerable opportunities for educa-

tional initiatives and community outreach, two mission areas of crucial importance to the National Society’s work. By fostering knowledge of and appreciation for the Constitution and the inalienable rights it aords to all Americans, DAR helps to keep alive the memory of the men and women who secured our nation’s independence, whose bravery and sacriďŹ ce made possible the liberties we enjoy today. “The framers created a Constitution that translated into law the ideals upon which our nation was built,â€? said DAR President General Denise Doring VanBuren. “Their vision was so forward thinking that their words still guide us today. No American history education can be complete without a thorough understanding of the impact the Constitution has had on the lives of American citizens past and present.â€?

One of the largest patriotic women’s organizations in the world, DAR has more than 185,000 members in approximately 3,000 chapters across the country and even in numerous foreign countries. DAR strives to promote historic preservation, education and patriotism via commemorative events, scholarships and educational initiatives, citizenship programs, service to veterans, meaningful community service, and more. Posey County’s local DAR chapter is the General Thomas Posey DAR Chapter. For additional information about DAR and its programs, visit the General Thomas Posey DAR Chapter facebook page or the national website at www.dar.org.

Dunning started working at the original Carnegie library with the express responsibility of organizing the genealogy records. She then assisted in moving the collection to the present library building in 1986. She enjoys assisting patrons who come to the library searching for materials to add to their collection of family and local history. She is also a member of the Posey County Historical Society and Coterie Literary Society.

Sermon of the Week: United Pastor Rick Sellers There are always so many events that oer fun for families to do together during the summer, but this should not come to an end now that the kids are back in school. It just takes a little more planning but coming together with family and friends is something of so much value to each one of our lives.

People, coming together with other people really is something we cannot miss out on. Romans 8:16 & 17 tells us, “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suer with Him, that we may also be gloriďŹ ed together.â€?

What Paul tells us ought to be clear that God designed people to “come together.�

However, we have become so individualistic that it is much easier to separate from one another. This takes place in many aspects of our lives from home, work and church. However, the problem with doing life on our own is that God created us to be uniďŹ ed. From the Scripture above the word I want to focus on is “together.â€?

From this word “togetherâ€? we can see that God wants us to make the eort to live in community with others. May-

be we can see what God tells us in Genesis 2:18. “And the Lord God said, ‘It is not good that man be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.� Simply stated, we need each other!

United through family From the very beginning our Father created man and saw that it was not good for him to be alone so, for a helper, God made woman to come along side and support, encourage and be what the man needs to bring fulďŹ lment. It was God who began the family and through Him the family is united.

Family reunions are, or at least ought to be an enjoyable experience, especially when the family is spread out over many miles. Sadly, many “reunions� take place at funerals.

Too much of the time I hear people say that “we need to stop meeting like this.â€? What they are saying is, it would be great if we would take the time to come together often to be a family. For most, these reunions are exciting because people pick up where they last left o. Family reunions bring “familyâ€? together which in turn strengthens and encourages everyone.

The old saying, “Blood is thicker than waterâ€? helps carry the signiďŹ cance of the importance of being united

NORTH POSEY

together. The bond of family provides a solid foundation from which the family grows.

There is security that grows out of this foundation. Much like the parable Jesus taught about the house built on the solid foundation, compared to the house build on the sand we can have the conďŹ dence that we will have each other’s back in time of need. Standing ďŹ rmly together as a family also makes our moments of celebration even better!

United through humanity All of us are unique, yet all of us carry the DNA of our Father. It may be that there are dierences in skin pigment, hair color and texture, shapes, and even personal preferences. It is true that we all are individually and uniquely made by our Father in heaven. Yet we are His creation, and this is the factor which brings us together with all humanity.

We work together every day alongside of other individuals who are also doing their jobs. While we may not all be doing the same thing we are generally speaking, working together toward the same goal. We work to make our lives better in all that we do.

I have known people who say that they want nothing more than to be alone and left alone. The problem is, this goes against everything

we know about humanity and our Creator. People need other people. It has been said that we need, when we get to the end of our lives, at least 6 friends who will help in carrying our body to the ďŹ nal place in this life, our grave.

The fact is, we may be able to survive without other people in our lives but our existence will not be fulďŹ lling. It is time that we get over the dierences in other people and see them the way our Father sees them. We all carry the resemblance of our Father. Our genetics, woven through all of humanity, calls us to unite!

United through citizenship / membership We understand that our country is called the United States of America, yet we are so easily divided. I am afraid our founding fathers would be disgusted with the disunity in our nation. What our nation needs is NOT more legislation. What our nation needs is for each citizen to recognize that we must be united,

united as a people who come together united. This does not mean that we surrender our uniqueness, but rather we celebrate our individuality while coming together as ONE NATION UNDER GOD. It is interesting that Jesus state in Matthew 12:25 that every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation and every house divided against itself will fall.

Abraham Lincoln used the phrase “The house divided in reference to the war of 1812.

When our country came under terrorist attack in September of 2011, we united.

Our country came together under a call to prayer. What our nation needs is for its citizens to unite and prayer needs to be where this begins.

United through Christ Most importantly, for those who trust and follow Jesus, we are united in Him. As already stated, our Father began a great work during creation bringing man together along with his helper. As all humanity has grown throughout the

years the idea of individuality has driven us farther apart. Divorce is simply dividing two people because of selďŹ shness.

What God has joined together, no one should attempt to destroy, however this whole concept blessed and sanctioned by our Father has become the target for the enemy.

The people of God come together through Jesus Christ bringing unity rather than divisiveness because we set aside all our dierences, trusting only in God’s Word. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.â€? (John 14:6) There is no room for disunity in the Church. The Church comes together only when we are trusting and following Jesus Christ and the Word of God. May we live our lives uniďŹ ed under the cross of Jesus Christ in every aspect of our lives. May we come together and live!

Steve Harding - Edward Jones Financial Advisor Can “AI� Help You Become a Better Investor?

For the past several years, artiďŹ cial intelligence – or AI – has increasingly found a place in many walks of life. Almost certainly, you use some form of AI, whether it’s your time on social media, your use of mobile banking, the navigation system you rely on for directions, or any of the many other AI-driven applications relevant to your daily life. But AI has also become a signiďŹ cant part of the ďŹ nancial services industry. So, you might wonder if AI can help you become a better investor.

To begin with, what is AI? Essentially, it’s the ability of a computer program or machine to think or learn. Using complex algorithms (a set of rules, or steps), computers and machines can mimic many of the thought processes of human beings.

But how can you use AI to invest? And should you?

In the ďŹ nancial services world, many companies use AI to select investments for speciďŹ c funds. On an individual level, you can work with an AI-powered “robo-advisorâ€? to build

an investment portfolio. These robo-advisors are typically quite aordable, and they generally follow proven investment principles, such as diversiďŹ cation, in making recommendations.

Yet, you are more than just the sum of your answers to a robo-advisor’s online questionnaire. Investing is a highly personal matter, which means that, in the following areas, you may well beneďŹ t from some human intelligence – and empathy: • Understanding of your risk tolerance – A robo-advisor will ask you to identify your tolerance for risk – low, medium, high – and will plug in your answers when constructing a portfolio. But only a human ďŹ nancial advisor – someone who truly knows you, your personality, your family situation and your hopes for the future – can know how your sensitivity to risk might cause you to react to events such as sudden market declines. Armed with this knowledge, a ďŹ nancial advisor can talk through your options to help keep you on the road toward your goals. • Answers to qualitative questions – A roboadvisor can provide you with many key data

points – rates of return, projections of future accumulations, etc. But so can a personal ďŹ nancial advisor, who can also go beyond the numbers to help you answer qualitative, subjective questions: How can I save for college for my children and my own retirement at the same time? If I change jobs, should I leave my 401(k) in my former employer’s plan, move it to my new employer’s plan or roll it over to an IRA? What’s the best way to guard my ďŹ nancial independence if I ever need some type of long-term care, such as an extended stay in a nursing home? • Guidance for the “big pictureâ€? – Your investments are important, but they’re also con-

nected to other areas of your life, including your taxes and your estate plans. And while a ďŹ nancial advisor might not provide you with tax or legal advice, he or she may be able to connect you to other, appropriate professionals, and work with them to help you put together your “big picture.â€? That’s not something a typical robo-advisor is equipped to do.

ArtiďŹ cial intelligence will support many of your activities throughout your life. But when it comes to investing, a personal touch may never become obsolete.

This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

Bryan Ruder - Financial Advisor with Stifel, Nicolaus & Co. You are Never too Young to Think about Retirement Many Americans have shifted their thinking to the reality that we are living longer, and it’s going to take a lot more money to support the comfortable retirement lifestyle that we have planned.

Social Security should not be your only source of income in retirement. Retirement income is a top ďŹ nancial priority for most individuals, and an IRA is a powerful tool that can help you save for retirement.

Nearly everyone with earned income can contribute to an IRA. The Traditional and Roth contribution limit is $6,000 per individual for 2019. In addition, individuals age 50 or older may contribute an extra “catch up� contribu-

tion of $1,000. The sooner you make your IRA contribution each year, the more time your money has to grow taxdeferred to tax free.* Besides a possible tax deduction, the Traditional IRA provides: -Tax-deferred growth on assets until withdrawn from the account* -Probate-free payout to beneďŹ ciaries -An aordable retirement savings account that can be established and contributed by most individuals with earned income** -A tax-deferred account that allows rollovers from most employer-sponsored plans (e.g., 401(k), 403(b), pension, etc.)

If a tax deduction is not needed, the ROTH IRA may be a more appropriate account choice, as it provides:

Last hole finally filled in MSD of Mount Vernon staff

By Lois Mittino Gray “Good news! We filled the final teaching spot!” School Superintendent Matt Thompson announced with a broad smile at the September 3, meeting of the Mount Vernon School Board.

Jeremy Rittenbery was hired to fill the vacancy created when Jennifer Ploetz resigned as a high school health/physical education teacher. Rittenbery taught PE at the Joshua Academy in Evansville for three years.

Doug Blair was named the Department Chairperson for junior high Health/PE, replacing Kimberly Hindman. Marian Christy will

work in the junior high cafeteria, and LaDonna Reid and Kristen Talley were hired as custodians. The board accepted the resignation of Robert McBride as a building maintenance technician at the high school, effective September 3, as he was immediately hired as the new Maintenance/Custodial/Transportation Foreman for the district, a recently-created position.

The meeting started off with an impressive check presentation by Mount Vernon High School student Emma Yarber, who represented the literacy organization Read it and Speak.

The check was for $900 to purchase library materials for local elementary schools: Farmersville, Marrs, West and Saint Matthew Catholic School. She organized a Rockin’ to Read benefit at Hawg ‘N Sauce Restaurant this summer to raise the funds.

Mount Vernon High School students Nathan Duffey, Destiny Morgan, and Kelcey Ricketts, along with their Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America faculty sponsor (FCCLA), Tammy Schneider, presented an overview of their activities at the National Leadership Conference in Anaheim, California from June 29-July 5. One group presented at the conference and was awarded a silver medal.

Students said it was a fine learning adventure with many “firsts” and it honed their leadership skills. They are ready to work to compete again this upcoming year at nationals in Washington, D.C. In other board action: • adopted a new Fund Raising by Staff, Policy 213.02, to prevent fundraising by persons not authorized to do so, particularly on social media like GoFundMe pages. “It is recognized

that fund raising activities are necessary. It is policy of the Board of School Trustees that fundraising activities are to be limited to the extent of documented need, and staff and students are not to be exploited,” it reads. The Superintendent will develop operational procedures to implement the policy.

• adopted a resolution permitting fifteen staff members to attend a dozen educational meetings. Some requests allow teachers to attend events with their students, such as Alicia Schmidt, who will accompany students to a Livestock Skill-A-Thon in Spencer in September and the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis this fall. Tammy Schneider will accompany FCCLA students to the Fall Leadership Rally at Purdue University this month, while Charles Siefert will take students to the Carpenter’s Union Open House in Newburgh.

The board felt this was a great thing to focus education on trades. Other staff members will go to training conferences and meetings. “It is great we have so many travel requests this month, as so many teachers are working with students and trying to learn more in their areas of expertise,” Thompson noted.

• reappointed Dan Koch to the Alexandrian Public Library Board for a four year term, effective January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2023.

• granted permission to allow students involved with Cub softball to participate in softball games on Sunday, September 22, and Sunday, October 13, 2019.

• granted permission to file an application renewal for the Charity Gaming Account annual raffle certificate

Gerton’s wins Flying W honor

‘Giving Back’, cont. from Page A1

By Lois Mittino Gray Gerton Auto Sales of Mount Vernon is one of only ten Winnebago dealers in North America to earn the company’s highest award in the first year it was instituted. The Flying W Dealer Excellence Award—Platinum Level from Winnebagos Inc., of Forest City, Iowa was given to the local business for “service excellence and superior owner satisfaction on surveys.” The brand new award is based on dealership performance between March 2018 and February 2019.

“This is a competitive program offered to all Winnebago motorhome and towable dealers based on customer satisfaction with new purchases and warranty repairs. Using these customer-driven surveys helps to equalize the competition, no matter the size of the dealership,” explained owner John Gerton. He is President of the business, opened in 2003, and his partner and wife, Jill serves as the Corporate Secretary.

Carl Boockholdt is another employee, specializing in Internet and Advertising. Two well-fed friendly cats, Ernest and Fiona, languish around the dealership to meet and greet customers.

“With this outstanding achievement, Gerton’s Auto Sales is setting the bar for the entire industry,” commented Dean Casad, Director of Winnebago Motorhome Customer Support.

“We are proud to recognize their commitment to going that extra mile for Winnebago owners.”

Only one third of dealerships earned the Flying W Award and only ten of those were at platinum level.

For this honor, Gerton’s Auto Sales received a large Flying W Award Trophy in the shape of a “W” for the desk and promotional displays and banners to display as well. Gerton’s will be listed as a Flying W Dealer on the company’s website Dealer Locator for twelve months.

In addition to Winnebago brand motorhomes

production, “Trap,” to be performed the weekend before Thanksgiving. “It is a play, written in a documentary style, several years ago. We just had our read throughs and I have cast the parts. We start rehearsing just this week.”

Roach bubbles when he talks excitedly about the play.

“It is a secret and students can’t reveal the plot. It is done documentary style and there are several surprises in it. The audience may not always know what is a rehearsed part of the play is and what isn’t. People just love a good mystery.”

At all times, the director uses praise-based approaches with his actors. “Everyone has a personal style of acting and if it works for them, fantastic.

I try to give gentle suggestions on what to work on. I’m the captain of the ship and my motto I say all the time is “No Worries,” he said.

Roach summed up his thoughts on his storied career in this excerpt from the essay he wrote for the Arts Council Award application.

Austin Colson recently received his certification from RVIA as a technician, and will soon be a Master Technician. Photo by and smaller teardrop trailers, Gerton’s sell other brands of new and used recreational vehicles, such as Braxton Creek, Lance, and NuCamp.

The business also sells collector cars, late model cars and trucks, tee shirts and other collector items.

There is a repair garage on site and Gerton points to a framed certificate on the wall awarding his nephew, Austin T. Colson, certification from the RVIA as a technician. “He is half way to becoming a Master Technician next,” his uncle said with pride.

“RV’ing is at an all-time high and the trend is going toward buying smaller ones, such as the teardrop trailers, which can sleep two or three people. We invite everyone to come in and look around. If you see that perfect vehicle, give us a call or shoot us an email. We look forward to helping you.”

‘ATVs’, continued from Page A1 been advised of these issues, town personnel will trim the trees back.

Council members have been informed that milling will begin on Friday and Saturday of this week, with final resurfacing to be completed well before Autumnfest. St. Francis Avenue may take longer than other streets.

Drainage improvements will be coordinated with the street resurfacing project.

Council President Bruce Baker indicated that certain corners in the northern addition of Town have been resurfaced in an attempt to ease school bus traffic.

Councilman Ron Fallowfield indicated that the addition of mulch at the Town park will take place on the Day of Caring (September 27th), with the remaining work to be performed next year when funds become available. Fallowfield further indicated that Frank Smith had donated his carved wooden Viking statue to the town. The statue is presently being repaired and will be anchored in front of the ship in the Town park.

Jenna Alka, Director, Posey County Economic Development Partnership, appeared at the meeting to discuss surveys regarding the

need for countywide broadband. The surveys are necessary to show that Posey County is willing to participate in the program and will be used to apply for grants to the same. Once the surveys have been sent out, copies of the same will be available at the town hall.

Ordinance No. 2019-09-11-02, the Salary Ordinance for 2020, was presented to the Council. No personnel raises were requested.

Ordinance No. 2019-09-11-03, establishing salaries for various election officials, was presented to the Council.

The Council recognized that, September 11, is Patriot Day. Fallowfield indicated that all town flags had been lowered per the Governor’s request. In recognition of flag protocol, additional street flags were not placed on town streets because they cannot be lowered.

The town will look into the purchase of the black ribbons (which have specific width and length dimensions), which can be used on flags that cannot be lowered.

The next regular meeting of the Poseyville Town Council is Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2019 at the Poseyville Town Hall beginning at 4:30 p.m.

• Amy Hueftle with Posey County Special Services provided a brief summary of the new requirements from the state and new Mount Vernon procedures for screening and intervention for dyslexia.

• As required by statute, the meeting served as a hearing on the upcoming collective bargaining process and citizens were provided an opportunity to comment on teacher compensation and collective bargaining. No comments were made • Information Thompson presented to the board included a mock shooting drill that will be planned for the fall with adults only and students off campus. All parents and neighbors will be notified when the date is set, as blank rounds will be fired. He passed out a review of Safe School current practices, and gave a construction update. “The summer projects are coming along, but not completely finished in any location. We are holding two invoices right now for Performance Services and we will not pay them until everything is finished,” he said.

• Thompson said ILearn results are embargoed until tomorrow, but will be discussed at the next meeting. He said the district was above state average in all but one category.

North Posey High School graduate Shane Martin is sworn in as the newst Posey County Sheriff’s Deputy. Pictured are Sheriff Tom Latham, Martin, Posey Superior Judge Craig Goedde, and Posey County Circuit Court judge Travis Clowers. Photo submitted “My work as a theatre director affords me the exceptional opportunity to introduce the world of performance art to our local community members. I strive to raise an awareness of, and appreciation for the true beauty of theatre to audiences, both young and old, through a vast array of plays that would appeal to local residents from all walks of life. By doing this, I feel I accomplish a director’s goal of capturing the magic of a live performance and sharing it, not only with those who’ve come to appreciate it in the past, but also those who may find themselves newly enrap-

tured by it. As a community theater and high school director, I am afforded the privilege to work with adults and students, bringing stories to life with both experienced actors and technical crews, as well as those who are new to the craft.

I aim to be a leader, a mentor, and a positive influence for those whom I work with, hopefully enriching their lives with a love for the performing arts, whether they choose to pursue this as a career path, or simply as a pastime, empowering them as artists for whatever lay may ahead.”

‘Pay it Forward’, continued from Page A1 times 65 or more persons, and the money will be used to provide food to serve for those in need, according to Rick S. Sellers, who applied for the award.

Posey County Council of Aging Director Monica Evans applied for money to help with senior citizen health issues. “We will use it for our Senior Center exercise classes to improve and grow with equipment upgrades,” she wrote. The organization, active in the county since 1974, has a Senior Center in Mount Vernon at 611 West Eighth Street.

American Legion Post 0278 of Poseyville, with Commander David Hagen, has been active serving veterans since 1921. Member James Hunt wrote, “We would use the award money to supply flags to schools, monuments, and cemeteries in our district. We have a Flag

Education Program for fourth graders in the North Posey School district, with a $50 prize for best test score and essay, for both boys and girls. We also do honor services at veteran’s funerals where we present a bible and flag to the families to honor their fallen loved ones.”

The Posey County Humane Society, active since 1981, with Tina Parker as President, will benefit humans and four legged creatures alike. “All funds will be used for animal vetting, shelter improvements and community education,” wrote Amy Smith in her application.

Chairman Rhoades hopes to expand the ever-growing awards program with every passing year of River Days. “We’ll just have to see what happens with donations and our fundraisers,” she said with enthusiasm.

Wildcats start fast, finish off Vincennes on Friday

Brady Hook picks up some more yards as the Cats showed a better ground game on Friday. Photo by Garry Beeson

By Thomas Butler The Mount Vernon varsity football team won Friday’s home conference game against Vincennes Lincoln by a score of 35-18.

The Cats started off with a bang in the first quarter with quarterback Rhett Snodgrass completing a 53-yard pass to wide receiver Breckan Austin. Then Austin intercepted a touchdown pass in the end zone leaving the Alices behind 7-0.

“I was definitely pleased. We did a much better job of coming out to play from the get-go,” Coach Cory Brunson said of his team’s effort. “In the first drive they made some plays but from then, we kind of settled in and played fine from that moment on.”

Brady Hook’s running game was on fire as he juked his way to touchdown runs of 35 yards and 31 yards.

“Brady Hook had four touchdowns and about 150 yards rushing,” Brunson said. “Austin Breckan got some touches but we figured out that we have to get our running game going. We stressed that much more this week. Our linemen did a much better job of being more physical and opening up more holes.

Going into the third quarter, the Wildcats led the Alices 21-6.

With two minutes left in the third, the Alices squeaked in a touchdown but failed in the two-point conversion making the score 21-12.

Mount Vernon answered back with Snodgrass completing an incredible 77yard touchdown pass to receiver Nick

Curtis.

In the fourth quarter, defensive end, Blake Ritzert recovered a fumble turning the ball back over to the Cats.

Brunson said he was never extremely confident that the game was wrapped up but felt much better when the Wildcats stopped the two-point conversion attempt and his team came back and scored a touchdown, giving the Wildcats a threescore advantage.

“Last year playing against them, each of us scored four touchdowns but they converted on their 2-point conversion attempts and we didn’t,” Brunson said.

“That’s another thing we focused on this week. That was the different plays we felt we could run in those situations.”

The top offensive players for the evening were Snodgrass with 221 passing yards, two interceptions and one touchdown, Curtis with four receptions, 98 receiving yards and one touchdown, and Austin with five receptions and 79 receiving yards. Dylan Murray had four carries for 32 yards. Curtis finished with five catches for 98 yards while Austin had 79 yards on five catches and Ritzert had a catch for nine yeard.

The top defensive players for the evening were Ritzert with five tackles and four assists, and one fumble recovery and two tackles for a loss, Dalton Schmidt with three tackles, two for a loss to go with one assist, and Theron Browning had five tackles and two assists. Brent Ricketts had three tackles and two assists while Kyle Simpson had three tackles

and one assist and River Snodgrass had two tackles and an assist. Trevor Frisby had a pair of tackles.

“Blake Ritzert played very well at defensive end and Nick Curtis played very well at corner, shutting down some of their receivers,” Brunson said.

Curtis was named player of the game for his contributions.

“We stressed trying to correct the mistakes from the week before,” Brunson explained. “We also stressed the whole week of finding ways to get started quicker. At Mount Carmel, we fell behind early and dug ourselves a big hole. We can’t do that against good teams. We told them they have to find different ways of getting focused for the game because obviously what they have been doing has not been working.”

The Cats ended the game with 390 total yards - 221 passing and 169 rushing.

The boys travel to Washington next Friday for another Big Eight match-up.

“We were talking this evening that we are just a failed punt return away from being 3-1,” Brunson said. “We definitely got a boost this week.”

Brunson said he still has high expectations that his team can still come away with a share of the final Big Eight Conference football title.

“We’re going to do all we can,” Brunson said. “This week at Washington we just have to play the way we have been playing, eliminate some penalties, and avoid turnovers. If we do that, we will be fine.”

Mount Vernon Lady Wildcats are MD Invite champs Special to the News The Mount Vernon High School girls cross country team brought home the title of champions at the Mater Dei invitational on Saturday. The girls competed against seven teams total with Castle coming in second and Apollo in third behind them.

Freshman Kaden Leverenz was the individual champion for the Cats winning the meet with a time of 20:32. Freshman Kori Leverenz took second with a time of 20:46 and freshman Sophie Kloppenburg placed fourth with a time right behind them coming in at 21:17. All three girls improved since the last time racing at this course and were a big contributor in the win.

Vikings continue to learn against area’s best teams

The North Posey line buys a little time for quarterback Harold Bender. Bender saw significant playing time at Southridge on Friday night but the Vikings continue to turn the ball over, shooting themselves in the foot. Photo by Dave Pearce

By Dave Pearce The North Posey Vikings have survived the toughest stretch of their schedule. They have come away without a win in the three-game torture chamber but have improved each game and have not sustained significant injuries. In Coach Waylon Schenk’s eyes, that’s a real positive. It didn’t put wins on the board but it gave his young team a chance to play against some of the best competition in the area and try to become a better football team…the ultimate goal of every high school team.

But on Friday night, the Vikings squared off against an old nemesis at Southridge High School in Huntingburg in a game that Schenk

thought should have been a fairly even game.

However, the Vikings continued to turn the ball over against good competition, four times on this night, and that proved to be way too many. The Raiders handed the Vikings a 37-7 loss.

“I felt like we were pretty evenly matched,” Schenk said of the PAC match-up with the Raiders. “But turning the ball over four times is just a killer. It just keeps happening. We were misaligned on defense and that cost us two touchdowns. The four turnovers gave them three more touchdowns. If you eliminate the self-inflicted problems we are facing and we’re a pretty good football team.”

The Raiders wasted little time taking advantage of the Viking mistakes. Schenk saw pretty much what he expected to see out of the Raiders, a team that keeps the ball pretty much on the ground and grinds out the yards.

The Raiders scored twice in the first quarter, on runs of 16 yards and nine yards. A missed extra point on the second score held the Raider lead to 13-0.

Enter sophomore Harold Bender at quarterback. The back-up had been impressive near the end of contests through the early part of the season. On Friday night he got his chance.

He drove the Vikings right down the field for a score.

But on the ensuing kick-off, the defense give up an 80-yard touchdown on the first play from scrimmage and they were staring at a 13-point deficit again.

Then on Bender’s second drive at the helm, a mix-up in the route between the quarterback and the receiver resulted in an interception and the Raiders continued to score points.

Near the end of the first half, the Vikings had a golden opportunity to get back into the contest when they had the ball first-and-goal on the five yard line. On the ensuing play, the ball crossed the end zone but it was fumbled and went out of the end zone resulting in a touchback for the Raiders.

“We crossed the goal line but the ball didn’t cross the goal line,” Schenk said with a shake of his head. “We dropped the ball at about the half-yard line and we got a turnover and they got the ball back.”

The Vikings were able to put together some impressive drives against Class 3A’s 4-0 ninthranked team. However, the Vikings must learn

to cut “turnover” out of their vocabulary if they hope to win football games.

“What could have been something very positive and uplifting for our kids turned into something that took the wind out of our sails,” Schenk said. “That’s been the story of the early season. We’ve lost to two highly ranked teams and to a Mount Vernon team that is turning some heads with a close game at Mount Carmel and a win Friday night over Vincennes.”

So is Bender going to see further action at the helm for the Vikings?

“I thought Harold Bender came in and really sparked our offense,” Schenk said. “There’s something about that kid. He just kind of has that moxey about him. It’s something you can’t teach or you can’t coach. Either you have it or you don’t. He’s confident and athletic. He doesn’t always look athletic when you look at him but when he gets the ball, he can make plays with his feet and he has a really strong arm. When we brought him in, we brought Devin Lintzenich in with him. They are a pretty good combination. Devin was tough for them to handle. He had some catches. He had a couple of passes that should have been completed for big gains or touchdowns and they just tackled him.”

The Vikings finished with 161 yards to 473 for the Raiders. Bender was 5-of-11 with one interception while Jaxon Wiggins was 1-for-2 with an interception.

Zach Lowe had 60 yards in 15 carries and a score while Bender has 21 yards in six carries.

Brady Reidford carried the ball five times for only three yards. Lowe, Reidford, Lintzenich, Adrean Lukeman, and Johnson Koester had catches for the Vikings.

Vikings are second in PAC

By Chris Morlan The postseason is right around the corner for the North Posey Lady Vikings golf team. Last Saturday, North Posey competed in the Pocket Athletic Conference Golf Championship at the Oakland City Golf Course. One of the goals Lady Vikings Coach Mike Wassmer has mentioned all season is to win the PAC. Gibson Southern edged the Lady Vikings to take home the PAC title. There is nothing to be ashamed of because the Lady Vikings played a great match and finished second as a team. On top of finishing second in the conference, North Posey’s Haylee Exline and Maggie Newcomb were named to all-conference team for their outstanding performance.

Gibson Southern won the match as a team and scored a 334. North Posey finished second with 370 followed by Southridge in third place with 418, Tecumseh placed fourth with 419, Pike Central came in fifth place with 422, Heritage Hills finished sixth with 424, Forest Park

and Tell City tied for seventh place with each scoring 486 and South Spencer finished at the anchor with 492.

Gibson Southern had four players place individually in the top ten and North Posey had three girls finish in the top ten. Gibson Southern’s Claire Jones won the match with 77 strokes and her teammate Liz Angermeier placed second with 79 strokes. North Posey’s Haylee Exline finished third and shot an 80.

Maggie Newcomb tied for sixth place and shot an 89. Mallory Motz broke the top ten with her tenth finish and shot a 98. Alexa Simmons tied for fifteenth place and shot a 104 and Sydni Flowers placed twenty-seventh with a 115.

North Posey plays again on Wednesday, September 18, at the Princeton Country Club against the Lady Tigers with a 4:30 p.m. tee time. The Indiana High School Athletic Association Sectional is on Saturday, September 21, at Fendrich Golf Course in Evansville with a start time of 8 a.m.

Lady Vikings struggle in week of stiff competition

By Chris Morlan Mount Vernon and North Posey battled in their annual county rivalry match last Tuesday night. This game was played at Mount Vernon.

The Lady Cats swept the Lady Vikings in three sets by the scores of 25-21, 27-25 and 26-24.

All three matches were close and could have went to either team.

After the match, North Posey Coach Madison Aiton said, “it was pretty close in all three sets. Both teams were fighting for each point and strategically placing the ball. I think we played a pretty decent game, we are just struggling with starting off matches.”

During the three matches, Brooke Jackson led Mount Vernon with 19 kills, 12 digs, three blocks and two aces. Libby Steinhart had 13 kills, seven digs and two aces. Jenna Veatch had 38 assists, one ace, seven digs and one kill.

Paige Robinson had 12 digs and one assist.

Kristen Earhart had four digs, two kills and one block. Grace Schroeder contributed with three kills, one block and one assist. Brooklyn finished with six digs and three kills. Mount Vernon improves their season record to seven wins and two losses.

For the Lady Vikings, Emily Abernathy had 24 assists and two kills. Julia Fullop had 14 kills and one ace. Jenna Rhineburger had seven kills and two aces, followed by Megan Brenton with three kills, Claire Koester with six kills, Erin Hoehn with two kills and an assist, Haley Wilson with an ace and Rylie Farr with two assists.

North Posey played at Evansville North last Wednesday night in another tough match.

The Lady Vikings struggled and were swept in three sets by the scores of 25-9, 25-19 and 25-17. During the three sets, Julia Fullop led the Lady Vikings with 17 kills and 15 digs.

Emily Abernathy finished with 25 assists and five kills. Rylie Farr had 13 digs and three assists. Jenna Rhineburger completed the match with six digs and five kills. Haley Wilson had seven digs, one ace and one assist. Erin Hoehn had two digs and one kill, Megan Brenton with one kill, one block and Claire Koester had one block.

In the final game of the week, North Posey faced the Evansville Memorial Lady Tigers.

This game was played last Thursday night at North Posey. Memorial came to play and swept the Lady Vikings in three sets by the scores of 25-17, 25-15 and 26-24. North Posey’s season record falls to seven wins and seven losses.

Emily Abernathy led the Lady Vikings with 30 assists, 15 digs, one kill and one block. Julia Fullop finished the three sets with 10 kills and six digs. Erin Hoehn contributed with 10 digs and seven kills. Claire Koester finished with seven kills and two blocks. Jenna Rhineburger with four kills, three digs and one block. Rylie Farr added ten digs, Haley Wilson contributed four digs and Megan Brenton finished with two kills.

After the Memorial match, Coach Aiton said, “we had switched a couple of people around, and I think it was a positive change.

The team responded well to the changes despite an extremely tough opponent. The Tigers’ offense is powerful and strategic but our girls in the front row did an impeccable job keeping that ball from coming over the net. I think we did a lot of good things against Memorial. The two games prior we struggled with connecting as a team but on Thursday night we played to our highest potential. In the end, Memorial’s pace of the game was just quicker than ours and we were getting beat in transitions and the Tigers took advantage of that.”

Lady Vikings overwhelm Bosse on early senior night

By Chris Morlan The North Posey girls’ soccer team played three games last week. The first game against Boonville was a rough outing. The Lady Vikings redeemed themselves and finished out the week on a two-game winning streak. North Posey improved their season record to three wins and five losses.

On Tuesday evening, the Lady Vikings host-

ed the Boonville Lady Pioneers. North Posey struggled in this match and lost by the score of 7-1. Boonville came into this game with one win, one loss and three ties for the season.

The Lady Pioneers only win of the season was against Evansville Bosse. Mount Vernon beat Boonville 7-2 over a week ago. Then Boonville tied in games against Gibson Southern, South Spencer and Pike Central. All three teams Boon-

ville tied against are very good.

Boonville scored three goals in the first half to lead 3-0. In the second half, Boonville scored four more goals. North Posey’s Lauren Zirkelbach scored the only Lady Viking goal of the game. Zirkelbach took three shots and two of those shots were on the goal. Goalkeeper Jordyn Beshears had 13 opponent shots on goal, four goals against and nine saves for the game. Annie Alcantara had six opponent shots on goal, three goals against and three saves for the match.

After the game, Lady Viking Head Coach Derek Sweeney said, “this was a winnable match for the ladies. We simply had no intensity and were outplayed physically. Our goal keepers Jordyn Beshears and Annie Alcantara did very well, and both had spectacular saves throughout the eighty minutes. Our only goal of the night came from Lauren Zirkelbach. She carried the ball through several Boonville players and slotted the ball in the far post upper ninety.”

North Posey played another home game last Wednesday afternoon against the Evansville Bosse Lady Bulldogs. The Lady Vikings showed up and shutout the Lady Bulldogs by the final score of 7-0. Lauren Zirkelbach led the Lady Vikings with four goals. Zirkelbach took five shots and all five shots were on goal. Tori Crawford scored two goals in the game. Crawford took four shots on goal for the contest.

The other goal in the game came from Brooke Coleman. Viking teammates Shaina Farrar, Lexi Cole, Grace Cullman and Olivia Schmalenberger each recorded an assist during this matchup.

Jordyn Beshears played 55 minutes as the goalkeeper. Beshears had three opponent shots on

goal, no goals against and three saves on the shutout. Annie Alcantara played 25 minutes at the goal. Alcantara had two shots on goal, two saves, no goals against in blanking out the Lady Bulldogs.

Coach Sweeney said, “the ladies played well, held their shape and played a very possessive game. It was nice to see the team apply what we train to the game tonight. They played all 80 minutes with intensity and proved they can play good ball. It is all between their ears now, but we are working hard everyday to create a “We Can” culture on the pitch. Tonight’s goals were beautifully executed with four goals from Lauren Zirkelbach, two from Tori Crawford and one from Brooke Coleman.”

Last Saturday, the Lady Vikings did not let off the throttle after their big shutout win against Evansville Bosse. North Posey traveled to Evansville Christian to play against the Lady Eagles. The first half was deadlocked at a 0-0 tie. During the second half, North Posey came out of the break like the team that played Bosse two days ago. In the last 40 minutes of this game, North Posey scored five goals and beat Evansville Christian 5-0. This was the Lady Vikings second win and second shutout in a row.

Scoring goals for the Lady Vikings were Lauren Zirkelbach, Mason Ashby, Faith Curry, Tori Crawford and Brooke Coleman. Lexi Cole and Tori Crawford each had an assist. Goalkeeper Jordyn Beshears played 60 minutes at the net.

Beshears had one shot on goal, one save and a shutout. Annie Alcantara played keeper for 20 minutes. Alcantara had no shots on goal, no saves and a shutout for the win.

Wildcat tennis team wins at Bosse, falls 3-2 to Warriors

By Thomas Butler The Mount Vernon High School boys tennis team celebrated their first win of the season when they faced Bosse on Monday.

“The boys played really well. Pake Davis and JT Rapp are my two seniors who helped

lead the way,” head coach Paul Quinzer said.

On Tuesday and Thursday, the Cats faced two Big 8 Conference foes, Jasper and Washington.

“They are both top ten teams in the area, so they were tough matchups. We had some

hard, intense play and a few long sets, but we came up with 0 matches won,” Quinzer said.

The Cats finished up a tough week with Mount Vernon hosting Harrison on Saturday morning.

It was a hard-fought match up that found

the Wildcats on the losing end with a score of 3-2 Rylan Paul won in the number three singles spot 6-0, 6-0.

After the Tecumseh match, Viking Coach Rusty Seymour said, “the boys played pretty good. They are starting to see how good they can be and starting to get over the hump a little bit. Tecumseh was 10-0 coming into our match, so this was a great team win for our guys.”

The Vikings finished out the week at home last Thursday against the Evansville North Huskies. Prior to this match, North Posey has played a tough schedule. North Posey’s brutal schedule is paying off and it showed when the Vikings beat the Huskies 3-2.

Blake Schmitt lost the One Singles match in two sets by the scores of 0-6 and 2-6. Ian Hein-

Coach Seymour provided comments after the North match and said, “our boys are really starting to play well. We moved Max to One Doubles for a mental break from One Singles and the boys were still able to step up and get the win. I’m extremely proud of the guys and the way they have been playing. If my count is right, we are 8-5 on the season, but that does not show the improvement and how well we have played. We have really beefed up our schedule and challenges these boys to play better competition and it is beginning to pay off.

We are looking to try and put a good run together before the start of the sectional.”

Viking soccer reverses skid, wins three straight

By Chris Morlan This was a busy week for the North Posey boys’ soccer team. They played four games in a five-day period.

North Posey had a great week with three wins and a tie.

The week started off with a tie against a good Boonville team, then the Vikings beat Evansville Bosse, Pike Central and Washington Catholic. North Posey is playing their best soccer of the season and on a three-game winning streak.

North Posey took a road trip to Boonville last Tuesday night to play against the Pioneers. The Vikings have previously struggled against Boonville. This game was different and North Posey walked away with a 2-2 tie.

North Posey jumped out to the early lead in the first half. Tanner Tichenor scored a goal with 33:10 left on the clock. Garrett Parker recorded the assist on the Tichenor goal. With 6:02 remaining in the first half, Anthony Martinez scored a goal. Preston Lockwood was credited with the assist in the Martinez shot. This gave the Vikings a 2-0 lead at the halftime break.

In the second half, Boonville got back in the game and scored two goals of their own to tie the score at 2-2. This score stood and the two teams went home with a tie in this matchup. Viking Goalkeeper Brinden Morrell had 12 saves in the net. North Posey finished the game with four shots, four shots on goal, two corner kicks and six fouls.

After the game, North Posey Head Coach Rylan Gentil said, “Boonville was a hard and tough game, we played well the first half going up two goals. However, the continuous breaks in the game due to the heat advisory sort of took the wind out of our sails throughout the game. We did well attacking, set pieces and balls in the air which we have been practicing all week long. Again, the constant breaks took us off of our game plan of continuous pressure, so we let our foot off the gas pedal instead of flooring it and getting the first goal in the half. This game is a story about halves winning each on is vital and our players did a good job coming off the bus with a shortened warmup and able to produce goals but unable to fully secure the win because of not winning the second half.”

In what was called a frustrating game, North Posey played a home match against the Evansville Bosse Bulldogs. This game got a little out of hand due to some bad calls. However, North Posey escaped with the 2-1 win.

Bosse scored the first goal of the game for the 1-0 lead.

Garrett Parker scored the first Viking goal with 20:34 remaining in the first half. Tanner Tichenor was given credit for the assist on the Parker goal.

During the second half, Garrett Parker scored his second goal of the game at the 37:17 mark. Riley Basham got the ball to Parker for the assist. Brinden Morrell played a good game as the goalkeeper and finished with two saves. With 20-minutes remaining in the game, Matthew Pieszchalski was given a red card by an official and this left the Vikings a man short for the rest of the contest. Coach Rylan Gentil and player Anthony Martinez each received a yellow card.

Coach Gentil said, “This game was particularly frustrating for us as a team due to the play style of the opposition. We took an early loss by conceding a soft penalty kick, however, we were able to pick ourselves up and dust or shirts off to come back to score two dramatic goals and stamp our domination onto the game. The game was very aggressive and physical in nature which is what we prefer because we can outlast teams due to our excellent conditioning. In the 60th minute, Matt Pieszchalski was sent off on a questionable decision by officials since it was the first card/ foul of the game in that half and it was not anywhere near a goalscoring opportunity or malicious in nature. But again, we had to pick up the cards we were dealt, and we adjusted accordingly playing a man down basically the entire second half. We came together as a team and continued to show our dominance of the sport and field by out possessing the opposition and had the ball in the offensive half of the field for the majority of the game. Unfortunately for us, we were not able to score more than two goals but overall, I am ecstatic to get the result off of this hardfought Bosse team.”

North Posey was back on the soccer field for another home game against the Pike Central Chargers last Thursday evening. The Vikings had to play without starter Matthew Pieszchalski due to receiving a red card in

the Evansville Bosse match.

This game stayed scoreless for nearly 38 minutes when Tanner Tichenor kicked a goal to give the Vikings a 1-0 halftime lead. During the second half, Tanner Tichenor scored his second goal with 19:20 remaining in the game.

The ball that Tichenor kicked went in the goal then bounced out of the goal. The officials blew their whistle and gave Tichenor credit for the score.

With 18:09 remaining in the game, a Pike Central player received a red-card. This left the Chargers a man short for the rest of the matchup.

Braiden Schipp scored the final Viking goal with 14:38 left to give the Vikings a 3-0 lead. Riley Basham and Garrett Parker each got an assist.

Goalkeeper Brinden Morrell played the entire game with nine saves, no goals against and a shutout.

The final game of the week was a trip to Washington Catholic last Saturday morning against the Cardinals. Over the last two years, Washington Catholic has played well against the Vikings. North Posey showed up and dominated this game for the 5-0 win. This was the Vikings third win a row and second consecutive shutout.

North Posey’s only goal in the first half was Garrett Parker scoring with 33:09 remaining to give the Vikings a 1-0 lead.

During the second half, North Posey scored four goals to put the game out of reach for Washington Catholic. Garrett Parker scored his second goal of the game with 30:23 remaining. Tanner Tichenor scored the final three goals with 29:52, 17:09 and 15:39 left in this contest for the hat-trick. The third goal scored by Tichenor was a penalty kick. For the game, Riley Basham had two assists, Tanner Tichenor with one assist and Braiden Schipp with an assist. Brinden Morrell played another great game as the goalkeeper with two saves. North Posey’s season record is now four wins, three losses and one tie.

In a presentation on September 10, AstraZeneca awarded $25,000 to Youth First, Inc., to strengthen the social and emotional well-being of students in Posey County.

Youth First partners with school districts to embed social workers in school buildings, where they become specialized mentors for students and prevention coaches for parents and teachers. Youth First Social Workers build caring relationships, foster readiness for positive change, and boost resiliency along with other valuable life skills.

Research shows these protective factors are the keys to preventing addiction, suicide, violence, and similar outcomes for young people.

The organization’s positive outcomes are driving growth, with more schools seeking Youth First’s help to address the growing social and emotional needs of students.

“AstraZeneca is committed to partnering in the communities where we live and work. We are grateful for the opportunity to support Youth First and the important work they do to improve the health

of young people,” said Tanya Harris, Vice President and General Manager, AstraZeneca.

Youth First President & CEO Parri O. Black stated, “Our children are growing up in a complex and challenging world that puts them at greater risk for substance use, suicide, violence and harmful behaviors. AstraZeneca’s investment is critical to achieving Youth First’s mission. Working together, we can protect and heal the hearts of more young people and their families in Posey County.”
