By Dave Pearce September has been a bad month for some of Posey County’s bad guys. According to Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers, he is hoping to reduce crime in the county by sending a message to “wouldbe” criminals that there will be no more lenient plea agreements in Posey County. Clowers believes he has teamed with a strong group of individuals in Sheriff Greg Oeth and members of the Posey County Sheriff’s Department, members of the Posey County Drug Task Force, and members of municipal police departments. Together, this group

He plead guilty to all of home burglaries entered a guilty those without a plea agreement.

Angelus earns ACSI ‘Ensemble of Year’ By Pam Robinson The Mount Vernon School Board singled out Mount Vernon High School, or MVHS, women’s acappella ensemble Angelus for recognition at its Monday, Sept. 17, meeting. On Sept. 6, Angelus was named “Arts Ensemble of the Year” at the 2012 Mayor’s Arts Awards Gala, an annual event sponsored by the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana since 1996. After the meeting, additional information about the honor was enthusiastically provided by Dana Taylor, long-time Director of Vocal Music and esteemed faculty member in the Fine Arts Academy at MVHS. Taylor explained that the Arts Council created the award, “Arts Ensemble of the Year,” just for Angelus. The women’s ensemble has enjoyed great success not only with local and national audiences, but also on national and international radio. The “Arts Ensemble of the Year” award will continue now as an inspiration for the sizeable number of high school, collegiate and semiprofessional ensembles in the area. Taylor noted the public will have another opportunity to catch a performance by Angelus at United Way’s free entertainment evening, Saturday, October 13, to thank the community for 50 years of support. Their latest CD, “Contemplation,” will be on sale at that time. After their United Way performance at MVHS, Ange-

lus will not again perform publicly until January 2013. Posey County’s own Wolfgang Orchestra will also perform at MVHS for the October 13 United Way celebration, Taylor made sure to mention. He pointed out that Wolfgang’s conductor Dennis Noon and his talented wife Nancy Noon were also honored by the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana with the “Posey County Arts Award.” Posey County can take pride in its musicians and their contributions to the arts. In other business: •The board received an update on the Safe Schools/ Healthy Students grant and the Lights on After School grant. The Safe Schools/Healthy Students grant will end in March, but services will be carried out until the end of the school year. Officials cannot reapply for this grant since the federal money no longer exists for this grant. Fortunately, much of the grant was used for materials and equipment that will remain in the schools. In the days to come, officials will be looking at personnel involved with the grant, especially the social worker. As for the Lights on After School grant, it is in effect for two more years, with the possibility of reoccurring. The program has been so beneficial to students, offi-

By Dave Pearce As has been the case for so many years in the past, a meeting held on Saturday in Hew Harmony to give locals some hope that the span covering the Wabash River into Illinois didn’t do much along that line. As a matter of fact, as the case in many of the past meetings, “when all was said and done, more was said than done.” The meeting, which had been called by the White County Bridge Commission, a non-government entity which has overseen the bridge for years, did nothing but rehash what has been said over and over again. Members of the bridge commission have indicated they would be willing to sell the bridge to any public entity willing to take it over but thus far, they have had no offers. “We have kicked this can down the road for quite some time with no success. No one seems to want this bridge. In my opinion we have taken it as far as we can go,” said the president of the three-member White County Bridge Commission Jim Clark. “I think it is a good time to bow out of this and let the state and federal (governments) do what they want to do.” With a net income of about $80,000 a year, there was little left to do than to close the endangering bridge the week of Memorial Day. The annual earnings takes into account no bridge maintenance. The bridge has been patch-worked together many times since work on it began in 1929 and finished in 1931. The original plan was to offer the bridge to either Illinois or Indiana once the construction bonds were retired. The bridge was paid off by July of 1955, and the commission offered the structure to both states. However, when engineers from both states inspected the bridge, they determined it was not in sound structural condition. Illinois officials said it did not meet the statutory requirements for that state to acquire it, and officials with Indiana also declined to accept the bridge in 1955 without Illinois’ acceptance. In 1998, Congress eliminated the mechanism that allows for appointments to the commission. If the current members were to quit or die, the bridge would presumably fall back to federal oversight, said Mike Egbert, a bridge commission member. The commission voted to permanently close the half-mile long bridge across the Wabash River linking Indiana and Illinois in May after a close-up inspection by engineers. Posey County and Indiana State government officials have been told that the State of Illinois has no funds and even less interest in attempting to preserve the structure. Indiana officials, who have indicated they might like to see further study done on the structure, have

OPINION

Teen daughter learns to treasure garage sale ‘trash’ Like many teens, my 15-year-old daughter Jessica gained a lesson about economics the hard way when a highly-anticipated summer job failed to materialize this year. Her disappointment, however, only fueled her LIVING imagination. She developed FOR THE creative ways to earn spending money, such as bathing JOURNEY and grooming our Pomera- BY PAM nian, Yorkie and dachshund ROBINSON and detailing my candy apple red Sebring. I must say, never have our three dogs or my car (aka Babe) looked so good for so long. Jessica landed upon her best idea for earning money, however, around the middle of July. Determined to help de-clutter the basement, she struck a deal with her dad Jim and me: she would clear out the basement if she could keep the profits from selling all the unwanted ‘trash.’ Nothing is beneath a young woman entering high school as a sophomore, or so it seemed to me, and wanting new clothes to start class. Jim and I couldn’t believe our good fortune. Not only would Jessica unearth a large bedroom and family room in the basement,

but she would help her dear old dad to hang onto more of his pension by buying her back-to-school wardrobe herself. Our daughter’s demeanor and drive impressed Jim and me throughout the decluttering process. I’d be exaggerating if I claimed she whistled while she worked, but she did keep the beat of Adele and Justin Bieber. She may have even hummed a few bars, but the volume was set too loud to hear her. Day after day for two weeks, Jessica tossed items too worn to try to pawn off on anybody and tagged the good stuff for sale. She cleared a path in the basement while carefully grouping the stuff in categories— books and movies, stuffed animals and toys, clothes and accessories. A separate corner held the furniture up for sale. The night before and the morning of the sale, she arranged her groupings on long tables in our garage. Once the door opened for business at 7 a.m., she and her dad set the furniture in the driveway. She bartered like a pro with customers who asked for “the

best price,” marking items down to move them quickly. She kept careful sales records in a spiral-bound notebook to know exactly when she earned more than the $80 we spotted her to make change. Her nieces, Addie and Paige Robinson, helped her to bag purchases. By 1 p.m., the bulk of Jessica’s merchandise had been sold. She and her dad loaded his rusting blue Chevy S-10 with items left behind and dropped them off at the Posey County Thrift Shop. Not until the garage door closed again did

Jessica count her money—three times. Finally, still in disbelief, she reported her earnings. Let me just say that Jessica paid for all her new school clothes and rewarded each of her nieces with a little spending money of their own. A gentle rain fell only once the garage sale ended. Jim and I couldn’t be more thankful that even the heavens seemed to conspire to teach our daughter the value of money and generous neighbors. We appreciate everyone who shopped with Jessica. She’s already planning next year’s bargain bonanza.

Guest Column by State Rep. Wendy McNamara Fall Festival Oct. 1-6 It is my favorite time of year as college and professional football are back in full swing and summer temperatures are subdued by the pleasantness of autumn. I always look forward to spending time outdoors with my family during the fall as it is truly the most beautiful season. Indiana embraces the fall season by celebrating our state’s rich history with Oktoberfests, Pioneer Days and countless other festivals. That being said, the biggest festival of the year is right around the corner. The Fall Festival held by the West Side Nut Club in Evansville will run next week from Oct. 1-6. Every year, thousands of Hoosiers and their families come to the festival to enjoy local entertainment and attractions. This year will not be any different. Headlining the music scene of the festival will be:

7 Bridges: The Ultimate Eagles Experience, Grandview Junction, Terry Lee and the Rockaboogie Band, The Jimmies, The Dominoes, Joe Greulich and Tim Smith and much, much more! There will be over a 130 food booths along West Franklin Street stretching from Wabash Avenue to St. Joe Avenue. You will be able to enjoy typical fair food delicacies such as BBQ sandwiches, tenderloins, hot dogs, funnel cakes and even some healthier options like salad wraps and soups. However, the more daring souls might want to try a brain sandwich, some chocolate covered crickets or even a deep-fried moon pie. There will be tons of fun, food and entertainment to enjoy, so do not delay and get a pre-sale armband voucher at Old National Bank for a discounted price

of $16. At the door, admission is $18. If you are looking to avoid the big crowds, the West Side Nut Club will be hosting Family Day on Sunday September 30. This is a great day for small children to come and enjoy Kiddie rides from 1 p.m. - 7 p.m. The West Side Nut Club will be serving food and drinks at the intersection of Franklin and 10th Avenue, in addition to a limited number of food booths on Acorn Plaza. Tickets will be $1.25 each. The Fall Festival will be a wonderful time for friends and family to get together and enjoy an evening out on the town. If you would like more information about the festival or a detailed schedule for each day, please visit www.nutclub.org. I am looking forward to being at the festival again this year, and I hope to see a lot of familiar faces!

things I do know a little about. Let’s you and I start with female disciples. Now, in the church and family I grew up with most

GAVEL GAMUT BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE of the disciple type work was done by the women. The males were more into preaching than actually doing anything. When it came to feeding the hungry or clothing the naked the men were not of much help. So, on this score, the weight of anecdotal evidence militates for female disciples, say in those situations where loaves and fishes were concerned. However, I speak only from personal experience and observation, not authority. But let’s carefully slide into that next thorny thicket of theology, a married Jesus. On this issue there are numerous reasons to doubt the meaning of the cryptic Coptic snippet giving a matrimonial situation to Jesus. And more significantly, there is our Everyman’s experience with marriage to which we may turn for guidance. Can you conceive of a wife who would allow her husband to hang out for forty days in the desert without working? How about arguing with the Jewish religious leaders and the Roman rulers? Wouldn’t most wives have demanded he quit dueling with danger and get back to some household chores.

‘Thank you’ to Black Township Trustee Dear Lindsey, On behalf of the Mount Vernon Black Township Park & Recreation Dept. and The Park Board, we would like to publicly thank you for the new playground equipment, (Noah’s Ark) the black rubber coated mulch, the gated

black chain link fence located at Brittlebank Park, and most of all for your generous amount of time and compassion you personally put into this project. It has been a pleasure working with you and we look forward to your con-

And what about all that fishing? I suspect his wife, Mary in the writing, would have reminded Jesus he was a carpenter and they needed to pay some bills. Well, we had best leave these dicey questions raised by the tiny piece of papyrus to those who actually know what they are talking about. But, as for me, I am okay with female disciples. However, the prospect of Jesus being ordered to take out the trash or quit spending time with all those peripatetic male friends is a little hard to visualize. On the other hand, if Jesus was married, he probably had little trouble getting his wife to visit her in laws for Christmas.

his money has come directly from PAC’s. He has received $27,500 from Nancy Pelosi’s PAC and $10,000 from Harry Reid’s PAC, and within the last few days, Donnelly had received an additional $800,000 from Harry Reid; Unbelievable! To date, Donnelly has received over $1.2 million in union contributions, in which 14 out of 20 of his top contributors were unions. Could this conceivably be why he voted for the auto bailout; not to save the auto industry or jobs per say as he would want Hoosiers to believe, but rather, truth be known, to collect union dues off the backs of auto workers, so he could then preserve his main contributor in order to subsidize his political campaigns? Remember, Joe Donnelly isn’t going to Washington to represent any “special interests, extreme

Reader questions O’Donnelly’s priorities Joe Donnelly said in 2010 that,” I am not going to Washington to represent any special interests, extreme political agenda, or be a “yes man” for, anyone”. Also, while campaigning in 2004 and 2006 he stated that, “The debt was one of my top priorities.” Obviously, it is a top priority, as he voted 7 times to increase the debt limit while serving as your Congressman in the 2nd District. The national debt has increased to a mammoth $7.0 trillion since Joe Donnelly took office in 2007. Thus, to date, outspending every administration combined since its conception. Also, in a 2011 debate he openly criticized his Republican opponents for raising the debt limit and being “fiscally irresponsible”. Joe Donnelly has proven himself to be a walking-talking contradiction. He’ll say and do anything to be the victor; even going as far as accusing Richard Mourdock of saying anything to get elected. In addition, Donnelly blasted the influence of special interest money in campaigns, but since taking office, Donnelly has taken millions from special interest groups: 47% of

Gavel Gamut’s “ Was Jesus Married?” While listening to National Public Radio on my way to court last Wednesday I heard a scholarly dissertation concerning a business card size piece of ancient parchment. The experts estimate it was written about the fourth-century, that is, about 300 years after Jesus was crucified. This scrap of papyrus was written in the Sahidic Coptic dialect and purports to set forth quotes from Jesus talking to his disciples. The whole inscription is set out below: ‘“…not (to) me. My mother gave to me li[fe]…’” “The disciples said to Jesus,’…” “deny. Mary is worthy of it” (Or: “deny. Mary is n[ot] worthy of it”) “…’ Jesus said to them, ‘My wife…’” “…she will be able to be my disciple…” “Let wicked people swell up…” “As for me, I dwell with her in order to…” “an image” “my moth[er]” “three” “forth which…” As you can see, there are certain words contained in this writing which cause theological pause. Such thoughts as a female disciple and most significantly a married Jesus could truly get a lot of angels dancing on the heads of a lot of pins. Of course, we do not know the source of the parchment or its authenticity. Such issues are best left to the experts, or, at least, theologians. Therefore, I will just muse about some of the few and worldly

political agenda or be a “yes man” for anyone”, as he clearly stated in 2010 while campaigning for Congress. Richard Mourdock, on the other hand, has openly called for term limits, and even stated “there is no place in Washington, D.C., for lobbyists or anything of the kind”. In summation, Joe Donnelly voted for the Health Care Bill without a single Republican vote, voted for the auto bailout, received thousand of dollars from special interests groups, and lastly, called for and received nearly $32 million in earmarks, which he earlier opposed while campaigning for Congress. Hoosiers, at this critical time in our history, the choice should be clear, let’s send Richard Mourdock to Washington D.C., to defend our values, interests, and principles. Stephen Butler

Guilty, from Page A1 Judge Redwine to waive those young men to adult court because of the seriousness of the crime. It takes a pretty bold action to go into someone’s home in the middle of the day and start taking items and it is extremely dangerous.” Clowers said this was a particularly tough case because these young men were 18 at the time of their sentencing. ‘I certainly don’t take any joy in someone going off to prison at that young of an age,” Clowers said. “But at the same time, there has to be consequences and when you commit a crime like this, there are serious consequences. So the judge took into consideration their age and the seriousness of the crime along with many other factors and sentenced them to six years, two in prison and four on probation.” Clowers indicated that the days of plea agreements has dwindled in Posey County, according to the seriousness of the crimes. Clowers said that many members of the Posey County community now have guns in their homes and that is the reason why these times of crimes become so dangerous. “I have always said that a home burglary is nothing more than a homicide waiting to happen.” Clowers said. “It may be the homeowner defending himself or his family or the person who goes in with no intention of hurting anyone but gets trapped and tries to get out of a situation and they wind up hurting or killing someone.” Clowers said all crimes are serious and should be treated as such. “In the more serious cases, they simply don’t want to accept the plea agreements because it is either too much prison time or too harsh of a sentence,” Clowers said. “When they know that we are prepared and ready to go to trial and have good evidence and are not willing to budge on our offers, a lot of times they have been just pleading ‘open’ to the judge and argue for a better sentence from him.” But Clowers is the first to admit that he certainly would not have been able to accomplish some of his mission by himself. He gives most of the credit to the officers who normally get

She was born on May 21, 1927 in Posey County, Ind., to John and Katherine (Egli) Oschman. She retired as Head Custodian of Mount Vernon Junior High School. She was preceded in death by her parents; her first husband, Cecil Johnson; her late husband, Warren Chaplin; brothers, Edgar, Delbert, Orrow, and Marvin Oschman; and her sisters, Aleeda Dempersmeier, and Elnora Rumble. Glenna is survived by her sons, James A. Johnson (Janice) of Billings, Mont., and Michael S.

I have to depend and rely on them. I just can’t say enough good things about them and the job they are doing.” Clowers said another message he would like to send out is that home burglaries are serious, not only for the victims but also for those committing the crimes. “You saw two juveniles who were waived to adult court because of the seriousness of the crime,” Clowers said. “It is one of those things that my office just isn’t going to budge on. We are just not going to offer lenient plea agreements to people who are going into homes. We treat these things very seriously. Another message is that our police departments and our detectives are solving these crimes. Home burglaries are not easy crimes to solve but if you look back, we have a very good track record over the past year or year-and-a-half.” You can go back to Kyle Billings and Toby Whitfield and Brian Long, Clowers continued. They were all resolved without pleas agreements because they didn’t want to take out offers. The officers have a great track record of solving these crimes and giving us great evidence. And when we have good evidence, we’re going to push the case.

School, from Page A1 cials will be looking at other options if the grant does not reoccur. •The board heard a report on the West Elementary Water Drainage Project. It is almost complete now with lights soon to be on and finishing touches made. •The board accepted the resignations from Kristina Griffin as a teacher assistant effective Sept. 20, 2012, and from John Schelhorn as assistant boys’ basketball coach effective immediately. •The board granted a high school diploma from Mount Vernon High School to Aaron Michael McMillen. •The board granted Angelus permission to perform in the campus chapel at St. Mary’s Hospital on Sunday, October 21, 2012.

Bridge, from Page A1 faced an impossible situation as the bridge is actually under the auspices of the White County Bridge Commission. At this point, the bridge would have to be turned over to the State of Indiana before Hoosier money could be spent, even on a study. INDOT has been reluctant to assume control of the bridge simply because of the condition of the bridge and the responsibility that comes with it, whether it would mean simply tearing it down, repairing it, or rebuilding it. Any of the three options would be costly during tough economic times. So in the meantime, the bridge will remain closed and area residents will be forced to drive either to the Mount Vernon bridge or to Interstate 64. The bridge will continue to stand and will continue to be a sub-

ject of election debate. But at the present time, nothing concrete has actually been accomplished. New Harmony businesses have reported a significant decrease in traffic.

Featured Recipe Chosen by Pam Robinson

CHEDDAR & JALAPENO BISCUITS

INGREDIENTS 1 1/3 cups (175g) all-purpose flour 1/4 cup (45g) polenta or fine milled corn meal 3 tablespoons (45g) sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt Pinch cayenne pepper 6 ounces (1 1/2 cups packed, 170g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided (1 1/4 cup and 1/4 cup) • 2 tablespoons diced fresh jalapeños (more or less to taste) • 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons heavy cream (200ml), plus extra for brushing DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, polenta, salt, sugar, cayenne, and baking powder. Stir in 1 1/4 cups of the grated cheddar cheese and the diced jalapeños. 2. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour the cream into the center of the well and your (clean) hands to gently bring together the ingredients. If you need to add a bit more cream then do so a tiny trickle at a time. You just want everything to get wet enough so that the dough will be sticky and clumpy. 3. Turn the dough out onto a surface lightly dusted with flour. Knead the dough just a few times - maybe only three or four pushes. You just want it to come together. (Over-kneading will result in firmer, denser biscuits.) 4. Form the dough into a disc about 3/4-inch to an inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter (or a small juice glass) to cut round biscuit shapes out of the disk. Combine the leftover dough and keep forming small round biscuit shapes until the dough is used up. 5. Place on a Silpat-lined or parchment lined baking sheet, with at least an inch or two between the biscuits. Brush the tops of the biscuits with a little more cream. Top the biscuits with a sprinkle of the remaining cheese. 6. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 11-12 minutes or until golden and the cheese is nicely melted. Yield: Makes 10-12 biscuits • • • • • • •

IN State Police partner with the DEA in fifth Drug Take-Back day On Saturday, September 29, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is sponsoring the fifth nationwide “Prescription Drug Take Back” initiative. The “Take Back” initiative seeks to prevent prescription drug abuse and theft. Collection sites will be set up nationwide for expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs to be disposed of for destruction. This service is free and anonymous with no questions asked. The only restriction is we will not accept new or used needles. This program is intended for liquid and pill medications. The Drug Take Back

events have proven to be a popular and safe method for the public to legally and safely dispose of prescription drugs that are no longer needed or have expired. Citizens wishing to participate in this program may drop off their prescription drugs for disposal at any Indiana State Police Post throughout the state (except the Toll Road) which includes both the Evansville and Jasper Posts on Saturday, September 29, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. To locate the state police post closest to your home or business, visit the following link: http://www.in.gov/ isp/2382.htm

Gene Horacek Long ago in the thirties on Saturday night Weather permitting, they’d celebrate right. Townsfolk and others from many miles away Gathered on Main Street at the end of the day. The stores and barbershops stayed open till nine, That suited all of the residents fine. Payday for workers was on Saturday too, Most everyone would have some trading to do. In front of the court square the old people sat; With friends and neighbors they had a good chat. Hundreds of people were seen milling around; Acquaintances and kinfolk here could be found.

Zane is a 5-1/2 month old male Doberman. He is a unique blue and tan color. He loves to play with toys. He is very energetic. He is good with both dogs and cats. Zane would like to have a buddy to live and play with. He is very intelligent.

The theater was chock-full of kiddies and men; Tom Mix was ridin’ old Tony back then. And Dagger’s Place, there stood a big crowd, With all kinds of persons a talkin’ real loud.

Yes, those Saturday nights were something to see; Forever they will live in our memory. While things were not perfect back then, it is true, In those days of depression we learned to make do.

Library Lil’s Story hour is back at the Working Men’s Institute, every Thursday from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. in the evening. This is an hour where we share books, crafts, songs, and snacks with children from preschool through 5th grade, and we have a little something for everyone. This coming Thursday, Connie Wilson will be presenting a “visit to Africa,” with traditional West African stories and crafts. Look for stories about the African Trickster, and a craft activity designed for storytelling. Next week, from September 30 through October 6, we will be observing Banned Books Week. Banned Books Week brings together the entire book community – librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types – in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular. You would be surprised at what books have been banned and/or challenged; books like The Bible, To Kill A Mockingbird, Lord of the Rings, and just about all of the Harry Potter books have been banned or challenged. What do I mean when I say “banned or challenged”? A challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials, based upon the objections of a person or group. Challenges do not simply involve a person expressing a point of view; rather, they are an attempt to remove material from a curriculum or library, thereby restricting the access of others. Materials end up being banned by successful challenges, which end up with a board or an administration actually removing materials from collections, so that the ideas they contain are no longer available.

WMI will be offering the public a taste of what banning books can do during Banned Books Week: anyone who wants to can come into WMI and “ban” the book of their choice. Books chosen will be moved to a specially reserved shelf labeled “Banned Books: These books are not available for checkout this week because they have been banned by someone else.” Another display will have a variety of books which have actually been challenged or banned in other places. Anyone checking out any of these books will be given an “I Read Banned Books” butH I G H W AY

Coming up on October 18, the Friends of WMI will host the final of this year’s lecture series at WMI when Allen Pursell of the Indiana Nature Conservancy presents “Just Below the Surface: A Conservationist Looks at Indiana’s Rivers,” focusing on our very own Wabash River. The Working Men’s Institute is open TuesdayThursday from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m.; Friday & Saturday from 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.; and on Sunday from noon – 4 p.m. The Institute is closed on Monday.

Carl Hayn, Holdouts to perform in Murphy Auditorium

Historical building to reopen Sept. 30 A historical building that was at the heart of two utopian communities will reopen in grand style with a public open house, games, music and fellowship from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, September 30. This celebration marks the first time Community House No. 2 has received extensive renovations and improvements to its exhibits in nearly 50 years. In addition, new exhibits - including artifacts found in recent archaeological excavations in the backyard and photographs pertaining to the building - will be on display at the event. Community House No. 2 is located at 374 North Main Street in New Harmony. Constructed in 1822 by the

Harmonists, a religious utopian group from Germany, the building served as one of four large dormitories to house the single men and women of the celibate Harmony Society. After the Harmonists left in 1824, the structure was integrated into the OwenMaclure utopian community and functioned as a school and living quarters for students and teachers. Once the Owen-Maclure community dissolved, the building housed a variety of businesses, including a hotel, tavern, rooming house, print shop, cigar factory, hardware store, tea room, and club meeting space. The State of Indiana purchased the structure in 1940. Renovations to Commu-

Mount Vernon City Council gives budget, Landing go-ahead By Pam Robinson The potentially controversial public hearing on the 2013 city budget wrapped up in eight minutes with only one resident, Nancy Sexton, addressing the common council at their meeting Thursday night. The four council members present voted to pass the budget on second reading. Republican council member Andy Hoehn was absent from the meeting. In answering Sexton’s questions regarding the 2013 budget, Clerk-Treasurer Cristi Sitzman emphasized that the 2013 budget is less than the previous year’s budget and there were no raises. Sitzman then explained that the rate is 22.5 percent higher than last year’s certified rate, but that is a result of certified assessed valuations, which would change. She went on to state that the actual levy is 3.79 percent higher than last year. She added that last year the city advertised to raise $3.2 million in taxes whereas the city advertised for $3.3 million in taxes for 2013. Right before the public hearing and vote on the 2013 budget, council passed on final reading the salary ordinance for the year ending December 31, 2013. The ordinance is now number 12-17.

With the 2013 budget set aside, council then passed on first reading an ordinance to vacate the south half of the north/south alley between Main and Water for the Landing Project. City Attorney Beth McFadin Higgins made note of the filed petition and certified mailings. A public hearing will be held on October 4 regarding the ordinance to vacate the portion of the alley designated. Petitioners Andy Myzak and Tim Martin then addressed council. Myzak stated that The Landing will now front Water Street and be built on top of the alley addressed in the ordinance. He then stated that after approval of the ordinance, they will have closing and construction will start the end of October or the first of November. Mayor John Tucker explained that the rendering has changed to face more the Water Street side, and investors are also in the process of acquiring the Cox Winiger property. Tim Martin added that this will allow for a significant increase in parking. The code requires 50 spaces, and there will be 81 spaces when completed. In responding to questions from City Attorney Beth McFadin Higgins, Myzak reported that the Board of Zoning Appeals had

approved the special use for the project. He emphasized the completion date for the project must be no later than December 31, 2013. In other business: •Council passed on first reading an ordinance updating, restating and recodifying chapter 91 of animal control. It was noted that this entirely new animal control chapter limited the total number of dogs and cats in a home to eight – four each. It was further stated that there is no increase in fees or fines. •Council passed the resolution directing payments in lieu of annexation be deposited into the city’s general fund. The resolution is now numbered 12-18. These payments currently go into the rainy day fund and come from GAF and Countrymark. The income for 2013 was stated as $79,096. •Council passed on first reading the ordinance authorizing a blanket bond of criminal insurance policy. Attorney Higgins explained that a new law went into effect authorizing this blanket bonding—which should save the city money since individual bonds will not be purchased now. •Council approved the submission and filing of the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, or IURC, petition on behalf of the

sewage utility. •Matt Walls of Bernardin Lochmueller & Associates reported on the unexpected 10 year storm event at the West Storm Water Project. •Mike Burris with Bernardin Lochmueller & Associates invited council to tour the updates to the wastewater plant. He advised that the scheduled completion date is December 17, 2012. •Tucker reported he is putting back together the Mount Vernon Economic Development Board with Councilman Andy Hoehn and Councilwoman Sue Shelton as members along with Larry Williams, Mike Ashworth, Judy Winiger and Brian Jeffries. The board is required to meet once a year, but he hopes members will get together more often. Tucker added he will be going after annexation and TIF. •When meeting as the Water Utility Board, council members authorized Tucker to sign the petition and allow Umbaugh to file it regarding forgoing the process of filing rate decisions with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, or IURC. Mount Vernon City Council meets again Thursday, October 4, at 7 p.m. in the City Hall Annex.

2012 MVHS graduate Stephan Blanford receives GE Star Award

Mount Vernon High 2012 graduate Stephan Blanford, received a GE Star Award for $3,500. Photo submitted

By Pam Robinson The universe has conspired to create a new star— a GE Star, that is. A 2012 Mount Vernon High School, or MVHS, honors graduate, Stephan Blanford has recently received a GE Star Award for $3,500, just as his brother Matthew did two years ago. The award will be applied toward educational expenses as the Mount Vernon native is

now completing his first year in the engineering program at Purdue University. The son of Bob Blanford and Judy Butler, Stephan Blanford is one of only ten 2012 MVHS graduates who maintained a 4.0 grade point average throughout their high school careers. He explains that the GE Star Award recognizes students with parents who are employed by or have

retired from GE. He credits his stepfather Roger Butler, a lifelong GE employee, with making him aware of the application process. Recipients of the GE Star Award, presented to students nationwide, include academic and extracurricular information along with a letter of recommendation in their application packet. A GE Star nominates a

high school mentor to receive an accompanying award of $500 for educational purposes. Blanford honored his German teacher, Mr. Keith Kinnaird, for supporting his education. At the MVHS academic honors banquet in the spring, Blanford had earlier singled out Kinnaird for recognition as an outstanding teacher—the most influential in Blanford’s high school ca-

reer. “I liked Mr. Kinnaird because his teaching style was different, and I was always interested in his class,” Blanford stated about his mentor. “He was the only teacher I had that I saw every semester for four years.” His mentor praises Blanford as a “fantastic” student. “He was like a son to me,” Kinnaird insists.

Marching Band third week results In the third week of the season, the Mount Vernon marching band started the day’s competitions in Paradise, Ind., at the Castle Invitational. There the Wildcats performed in Class C. Mount Vernon took first place and swept the caption awards in its class. The band took Best Percussion, Best Guard, Best Drum Major and Best Pit Crew. Next, it was off to the Evansville North Invitational in the new Bundrant Stadium. There the Wildcats performed in Class AAA and took the third place trophy and the Best Guard award. North Posey, also, performed at North taking a third place trophy in Class AA.

Conditions are favorable for a strong return of Hessian Fly By Purdue Extension, story by Brandi Schemerhorn The “Hessian Fly Free

Date” for Posey County is October 8. It’s recommended to plant wheat within

two weeks after this date. (see article in the September 21, 2012 Pest & Crop News available at: http://extension.entm.purdue.edu/pestcrop/2012/issue25/PandC25. pdf). Below is an excerpt from this newsletter on this subject: The Hessian fly is present in wheat growing areas throughout the US, including Indiana. The Hessian fly can survive on alternative grass hosts, and will be waiting to infest a field the next time wheat is planted. When the opportunity presents itself, there is potential for a rapid increase of fly populations as a result of weather conditions or cropping practices that favor survival of eggs and young larvae in the fall. Many fields throughout the US are already empty due to the nationwide drought that occurred this year. It is im-

perative that we do not jump the gun and still practice following the fly-free date and plowing fields before planting wheat. Following the fly-free date. Much of the fall fly population can be avoided by planting after the fly-free date. A low fall infestation often goes unnoticed due to the tillering of the wheat plant. The fly-free date is of key importance, even if you plan to use the wheat only for cattle. It is tempting given the open fields early in the season to plant wheat early. This could lead to disastrous consequences. The fly-free date is our main protection to avoid a subsequent infestations by the spring brood. Additionally, it has been shown that following the fly-free date helps reduce other wheat disease problems and reduces winterkill from excessive growth.

Viking line is dominant as North Posey is still unbeaten By Dave Pearce The North Posey Vikings are the only ones who can control just how far they can go this year. They control their own destiny in the Pocket Athletic Conference and for the most part, with the help of the Viking coaches, the Vikings can continue to work and be as good as hard work will carry them into the post season. On Friday night in Ferdinand, the Forest Park Rangers, found out just how controlling the North Posey Vikings can be as they wasted no time taking control of the game and never gave end, thumping the Rangers 48-0. “The kids worked very hard this week on getting focused after a big, emotional win last week,” North Posey Coach Joe Gengelbach said, following the game. “I thought we came out ready to play. We made some errors but you will have some of those. But anything we have done will be correctible. We made a couple of mistakes that could have led to some points for them but stiffened up.” In what has traditionally been a nightmarish trip to Ferdinand, this group of North Posey Vikings was apparently ready to face adversity when they got off the bus. The Forest Park Rangers won the toss and elected to receive but that’s the only battle the Rangers would win on this night. Viking kicker Nick Neidig booted the ball into the end zone and the ball came out to the 20. After a quick three downs and out that resulted in no positive yardage, the Rangers were forced to punt. The punt from the five resulted in excellent field position for the Vikings and the rout

The Vikings will with 27:06 left in the first half. The right direction”. finish their schedule at Tell City. Wildcats would take that 1-0 lead into halftime. Mount Vernon built their lead in the second half of the game when Wildcat Courtland Pace took a beautiful corner kick from Freshman Noah Keller and placed the ball into the back of the net for a Wildcat 2-0 lead. North Posey had several chances and played aggressively in the second half. Senior Jace Gentil who seemed to have several chances go wide of the net, finally got the Vikings on the board as he scored with 10:27 left in the game. With the score 2-1 the game seemed to get physical and the over aggressive play cost both teams players with yellow cards. That’s the way rivalry games go, especially with teams looking for wins heading into the final stretch of the season. The Wildcats ended up winning the game 2-1 and won not only bragging rights but also gained confidence as they head into the final week of the regular season. “Its (the win) a big boost to our confidence”, Wildcat Coach Travis Kaiser said after the game. “We’ve been getting smacked around a little during the season. We play some tough schools and play in a tough conference. We have a tough sectional and need to get prepared for that as well as we can”. And even though the Wildcats are glad Viking Jace Gentil is defended by Mount Vernon’s Torsten to get their third win of the season, Coach Kaiser continues to remind Maier during Tuesday’s matchup at North Posey.

Boonville’s Pioneers get Wildcats on ‘Frustrating’ night By Steven Kochersperger Homecoming is defined as “the arrival home of someone who has been away“ and “the annual return to one’s school for celebration with other alumni.” The stage was set Friday night. The alumni gathered, the student section was rocking as always, the community came out for the festivities and the pregame homecoming ceremonies went off without a hitch. Only one thing was left, the Big Eight football matchup between the Mount Vernon Wildcats and the Boonville Pioneers. And while everything else during Fridays homecoming festivities went smoothly, the game ended in disappointment for those who cheered the Wildcats on as the Pioneers defeated Mount Vernon 36-13. “Frustrating,” that’s the word Wildcat head coach Paul Maier used after the game. “We feel frustrated because I know what we are capable of. We did not come out with the same fire and enthusiasm we came out with last week. We started of slow and we absolutely can not do that. We have to get that corrected.” That slow start began for Mount Vernon as Boonville got on the scoreboard first. Pioneer fullback Andrew Arriago scored from the 3 yard line to put the visitors up 7-0 with 5:38 left in the opening quarter. It was all set up because of the great field position Boonville was able to get. Field position would be a big part of the opening half as Mount Vernon continued to be on the negative side of the field position battle. “Field position killed us in the first half,” Mount Vernon head coach Paul Maier said. “We couldn’t get out of the shadow of our own endzone.” And that field position put great pressure on the defense who seemed to keep coming through for the Wildcats in the opening

Seniors are instrumental as Lady Vikings ‘build program’ By Dave Pearce It takes a whole lot of things to build a high school sports program. It takes good parents, committed athletes, good coaches, experience, and a ton of time. And while everyone would like to see the North Posey youthful girls’ soccer team achieve a high level of success during this season, Coach Scott Butrum knows that while he sees improvement nearly every day, his young players are not going to be able to go out night after night and beat teams that are comprised primarily of upperclassmen who have years and years of experience, often playing together. But that still has not stopped this year’s team from carving out an 8-5-1 record against some of the area’s better competition and giving everyone associated with the program a glimpse of what it can become, providing the elements described above all fall into place. The 8-5-1 record could well be the best record of any North Posey girls’ soccer team since the inception of the program at this point in the season. “We had a big and talented freshman class come in this season and they have meshed well with the upperclassmen,” Butrum said. “And this week on senior night, we see that we will lose five seniors but it looks like we will be replacing them with 11 eighth graders who will be coming in as freshmen next year. That’s not good news for future Viking opponents. But Butrum also knows that if the team is going to improve, they are going to have to play as many games as possible against some of the best competition they can play. That’s why he added a rare Wednesday night game to this year’s schedule to give the Vikings a chance to face one of the area’s best teams in the Reitz Panthers. And the Vikings performed well, at least for a half. After the girls realized that they could play the mighty Panthers to a scoreless half, he substituted freely during the second half and the Panthers took advantage, scoring five goals. But Butrum said the first half proved to him what he needed to see out of his team, particularly since they were facing a team the caliber of Reitz. “Reitz has a very, very good team,” Butrum complimented the large west side school. “They have predominantly juniors and seniors who have played a lot of soccer and have played together for a long time.” But in the first half, you wouldn’t have known it. The youthful Lady Vikings did not back down from the challenge. And even though Viking senior goalie Mallory Schmitt was forced to stop a number of shots on goal, the Vikings had proven they can play with some of the best.” “I had seen all I needed to see,” Butrum said. “And we had a big Pocket Athletic Conference match coming up on Thursday night and I wanted to save them a little bit.” But all in all, the sheer size, speed, and hard-nosed play of the Panthers took its toll on the young Vikings and it would be an injustice to say the hard game against Reitz did not effect the Vikings when the Heritage Hills Patriots came to town on Thursday. Again, it was a close game much of the way but two nights facing bigger, more experienced squads took its toll on the Lady Vikings. They gave up two goals late to make a close game appear to be lop-sided. But the best thing about freshmen is that they become sophomores. The Vikings will have no easy time, this year or any year, as they are in the sectional with established programs such as Gibson Southern and Mater Dei. “Either of those will be a very tough draw,” Butrum said. But the Reitz Panthers got five goals mostly on Viking substi-

Photo by Dave Pearce tutes in the second half and the Panthers defeated Mater Dei 3-0. In the second game of the season, an intimidated group of youngsters lost in Evansville to Mater Dei by a score of 10-0. The team lost early-on to Gibson Southern 4-0, giving up all four goals in the first half. That’s a glimpse of how far Butrum and his young team have come. “My seniors have some experience and I am very proud of them,” Butrum said. “My freshmen and sophomores are just needing that knowledge of the game from them. But I think I have better ball control and foot skills from the younger players and the bulk of the game knowledge and the experience from my upperclassmen.” Butrum went on to say that he believes, that with the help of a solid team around her, freshman Loryn Willis could set a new standard for scoring goals at North Posey. She has scored in every game and is described by her coach as “a finisher.” Willis had three goals and Brianna Perry added one in this week’s 4-0 whitewashing of Pike Central. Last Wednesday, Willis had two goals, while Maddie Koester and Shelby Newcomer each had goals in a 4-1 victory over Evansville Day School. Mallory Schmitt, senior goalkeeper, is helping some of the younger players develop some of the skills in goal that have helped her become an effective player. “Maddie Koester is the heart and soul of my center midfield right now,” Butrum said. “We are building on some of

these girls. MacKenzie Orlik is very fast and I have finally found a home for her in the back. She plays very well there.” But for now, Butrum says he is building and building takes time and some experimentation as some players are playing in positions this year they he believes they will not be playing next year. But while the coach is building, he also realizes there is soccer to be played this season and his team’s young players have almost a season’s experience under their belts now. And he feels they turned the corner about four or five games ago. “South Spencer is not a great team but we went up there and fell behind. It is not ever easy to go to someone else’s field and play and we fell behind,” Butrum said. “But when we fought back to win that game 3-1, I saw a big difference in our team, especially the freshmen, as they saw they could find a way to fight back and win games like that. From that point, I have seen a big difference, especially in the younger players.” Butrum realizes that his young players are being pushed around and learning from their mistakes against older, more experienced players. But each night out, they are learning. “The unity among these girls has just been amazing,” Butrum said of the Vikings. “They simply don’t bicker. They all get along from the player who sees no action to the player who starts every game, they all find a way to get along. That is so important in trying to learn the game better.” After all, that’s why they call it “building a program.”

was on. On the first play from scrimmage, reliable back Wes Harness picked up 15 yards and Alex Goebel then gained five. Then Harness carried to the one where his helmet came off and he had to come out of the game for one play. But Colton Martin had his back as the senior took the hand-off and scored North Posey’s first points at the 9-minute mark. Neidig’s PAT gave the Vikings all the points they would need, but not nearly all they would score. It would take the Vikings only 1:45 to score again as the Rangers attempted to go to the air. They were unsuccessful again and again were forced to punt from deep in their own territory. But a bad snap forced the Forest Park punter to fall on the ball at the five yard line where the Vikings took over. Two plays later, Harness picked up his first touchdown of the night and the Vikings were off and running. The ensuing kick-off was not as deep as the first two but after the Rangers got to their own 27, immediately Goebel came up with a 4-yard sack and the Rangers could not move the ball. They punted again and it appeared it was going to be more of the same. But if the Ranger fans were looking for a bright spot on the night, it came on the next set of downs. First Alec Werry hit Neidig for 16 yards and a first down at the 38. But on first down, Francis Bohnenkamper stepped in front of Werry’s pass intended again for Neidig and the Rangers had the ball in North Posey territory. But on first down, Austin Little got through the line for a

loss of four on the tackle as he nearly took the hand-off. On second down, Goebel caught the Rangers attempting to run a reverse and dropped the ball carrier for a loss of four more. Then on third and 18, the Vikings were called for an offside’s penalty leaving the Rangers with a third-and-13. The Rangers completed the pass to the Viking 25 and there they met stiff resistance. On first down, the Rangers were shut down and Neidig knocked the pass away on second down. Chris O’Risky got through for a big sack that all but took the Rangers out of field goal position on third down. Facing four-and-21, the Rangers had nothing to lose and the Vikings took over. Werry then connected with Jacob Bender who carried the ball to the 37. But on the next play, the Rangers got a sack of their own and after an incomplete pass, the Vikings were forced to punt where the Ranger back called for a fair catch of a high, long Neidig punt at the 16. And just when it appeared the Rangers might finally be getting something going their way, Neidig returned the favor and intercepted a second-and-7 pass and took the ball to mid-field. From that point forward, the Rangers simply did not have an answer. It was Harness, then Martin, then Werry on an 18-yard keeper. Then Harness and Martin again. The Rangers then appeared to have the run stopped but Werry found Martin in the end zone and it was 21-0. “It really came down to being just a little of what they give us,” Gengelbach said of the play calling. “We watch the film and Coach (Paul) Rynk does a great job of seeing things and

Junior high Vikings continue to learn, improve By Dave Pearce The North Posey Junior High volleyball team’s streak came to a close on Thursday evening at the hands of visiting Tecumseh.

Wildcats fall to Pioneers, from Page B1 to the visitors. Moving the ball seemed to be a struggle for the Wildcats Friday night. “I don’t think we played well up front. We just didn’t play real well on offense as a whole”, Coach Maier said. And not being able to move the ball down field would be costly to the home team. Boonville capitalized off the punt to move the ball down field and score yet again. Pioneer Andrew Arriago scored his second touchdown of the game on a 65 yard run from scrimmage putting Boonville ahead 29-6. But the Wildcats would not give up and continued to work hard and get themselves back in the game. With 58 seconds left in the third quarter facing a Fourthand-4 to go situation, the Wildcats took a timeout to set up a play. After the timeout, Senior Brian Koch caught a VanZant pass taking it to the 3 yard line. Two plays later JUST ASK US, WE MIGHT HAVE IT.

ter and throughout the first half. “I think our defense played phenomenal in the first half.”, Maier recounted after the game.”They (Boonville) took over the ball two drives inside the 35 and we kept them out. You cant ask anymore from your Defense”. But the Wildcats wouldn’t be able to hold the Pioneers out of the endzone forever. With 4:44 left until halftime, Boonville’s Austin Castleman would scamper to the endzone and build the Pioneer lead. The Pioneers would get the two point conversion and went up 15-0. Boonville would score yet again , this time with 1:34 left in the half, as Spencer Woosley caught a touchdown pass for the Pioneers making the score 22-0. And just when all the homecoming energy seemed to be leaving the stadium, a sign of life appeared for the Wildcats as signal caller River VanZant ran through a wall of defenders and threw a rocket to Senior Craig Dick who took it 57 yards to the endzone and put Mount Vernon on the board with 1:07 left in the half. After missing the extra point the Wildcats trailed 22-6 at halftime. The second half began with a Wildcat drive that began in promising fashion as River VanZant threw to Tight End Brian Koch for 13 yards, moving the chains on the very first play of the half. But the offense would see the drive fizzle out and they had to punt once again

it was River VanZant diving from the 1 yard line to score, pulling the Cats closer and making it a 29-13 game with just 1.8 seconds left in the third. But Boonville would put it away in the final quarter. After killing the clock most of the quarter and stopping Mount Vernon from moving the ball, Pioneer Andrew Arriago iced the game with his third touchdown of the contest. Arriago led the game with 200 total yards rushing and three touchdowns for the Pioneers. The loss drops Mount Vernon to 2-4 on the season. And the schedule doesn’t do any favors for the Cats. With two highly ranked teams (Mater Dei and Jasper) coming to play at home, and a road game in Princeton, there is a lot of work to do for the

Wildcats before the sectional opener. “The Big 8 and the non conference games we play are always tough”, coach Maier said about the road ahead.” We gotta make a decision. What do we want out of the season?” The answer to that question will begin this Friday as the Wildcats play host to the undefeated Mater Dei Wildcats. Mater Dei beat the Bosse Bulldogs 57-14 Friday night. Game time for this Friday’s matchup is at 7 p.m.. Before the game the Seniors of all the fall sports were honored with their parents. Wade Mobley and Alex Collins were named Homecoming King and Queen and the homecoming crowd raised over 400 dollars for Riley Hospital. Way to go Mount Vernon!

calling plays into things where we have an advantage. And tonight, we thought we could run a little inside and it takes a little pressure off of Wes, that way, too.” Less than four minutes later, after the Vikings had again held, Neidig scored on a 19-yard pass play and the Vikings were ahead 28-0 at the half. “Alec does a good job of reading the defense and he is very methodical out there,” Gengelbach said.. “He studies film and does a good job of looking and knowing where his people are going to be. He doesn’t force many balls.” The second half was much like the first, with the exception of the fact that after Harness had scored two touchdowns in the quarter, North Posey Coach Joe Gengelbach began to do something he enjoys and got a chance to see how some of his younger players would respond in a game situation. Although not as quickly, the defense held and back-up quarterback James Marshall led mostly reserves to the team’s final score of the game with 1:26 remaining in the contest when Lance Inkenbrandt scored on a two-run run on a drive that the reserves had eaten a good portion of the fourth-quarter clock. “We’ve got some young kids who play very hard,” Gengelbach said. “It is an experience for them to get in there. Most of them are kids who play on Monday night and they came in there and I thought they did an excellent job. They did what they had to do. The drive they had was about a 96-yard drive and even had a penalty in it they were able to overcome.” The Vikings finished with 419 yards to 63 for the Rangers. The only stat the Vikings did not win was in penalties, where they gave up 50 yards on five penalties. They also lost the senior Goebel for next week’s game after he retaliated on some extracurricular activity on the field. Harness finished with 128 yards on 17 carries and three scores while Martin had 51 and a touchdown and Inkenbrandt had 41 and a score. Dylan Wright carried four times for 30 yards and Darren O’Risky carried five times for 29 yards. Werry was 13-for-21 with the one interception while Marshall completed the only pass he threw for 10 yards. Jace Gentil got in on the action, kicking off five times for an average of 46 yards. He and Neidig split six extra points. Werry found Martin for five passes, 28 yards and a score while Neidig caught three passes for 44 yards and a score. Marshall and Bender caught a pair of passes apiece while Harness and Darren O’Risky each caught one.

Wildcat netters continue to dominate By Steven Kochersperger The boys tennis team at Mount Vernon High School have had a great week. But what else is new right? In fact the boys have had a great season overall. This week the Wildcat tennis team ended their regular season with three straight wins and bolstered their confidence and tightened their games as they head into the sectional this week. On Tuesday the Wildcats played at North High School in Evansville .The matchup was competitive, though you wouldn’t know it looking at the team score. Early in the match it seemed that the score could have been much closer than it was. But the Wildcats fought through and ended up beating North 5-0. “I appreciated how the guys tightened up their games and played stronger as the match progressed”, Wildcat coach Viki Rueger said. In singles play Tuesday Jevin Redman led the way beating Jordan Greenwell 6-2, 6-3. Ross Canada beat North’s Austin Holmes 4-6,6-4,6-3. Todd Scheffer beat Allen Karch 6-2, 6-4. In doubles the Wildcats continued their sweep. Wildcats Seth Reeves and Luke Steinhart beat Grant Carey and Shloak Vyas 6-2,3-6, 6-4. Logan Brown

and Hunter Wilson defeated Jordan Holmes and Hunter Bennett 6-2,6-2. That win seemed to set the tone for the rest of the week. The very next day the Wildcats traveled to Bosse and beat the Bosse tennis team 5-0 once again. Its a matchup and day Wildcat Austin Krizan won’t soon forget. Krizan, who is not a normal starter for the Varsity team, got the nod and picked up his first ever Varsity win. Thursday the Mount Vernon boys traveled again to Evansville, this time to Mater Dei, and picked up their third straight win in the week as they beat Mater Dei 4-1. Singles players Jevin Redman and Ross Canada were completely dominate in their matches defeating their opponents 6-0, 6-0. In singles 3 for the Wildcats Todd Scheffer beat his opponent Zach Goedde 6-1, 6-4 to complete the dominating performance for the Wildcats. The only loss of the game with Mater Dei came in doubles action as Joe Ritter and Mike Elpers beat Mount Vernon’s Seth Reeves and Luke Steinhart 6-2,7-6. Tennis sectionals start Wednesday at the Mount Vernon tennis courts.The sectioinal draw was slated for monday evening and was not available at press time.

Viking reserves fall behind early, lose finishing touch 1 2 3 4 F NP 14 6 12 7 39 SR 0 0 14 8 22 The North Posey jayvee Vikings ran into a bump in the road on their journey through the 2012 season on Monday night, (September 10), at Huntingburg. The Southridge Raiders took it to North Posey’s reserves and won 39 – 22. “I felt that Southridge was a little bigger than us and a little quicker than we were,” said jayvee coach Mike Kuhn. “They also seemed to have their share of experienced players,” he added. That statement was certainly confirmed in the first quarter of play with the host Raiders striking pay dirt in the first three minutes of the first frame on a 57-yard run by sophomore running back Kody Brown. Michael Boyd added the PAT to make the score 7 – 0 in favor of Southridge. The Raiders added a second touchdown with three minutes left in the first quarter on a 1-yard plunge by junior fullback William Gutgsell. This time sophomore kicker and running back Guadalupe Perez added the PAT kick making the score 14 – 0 Southridge. “The Raiders were getting through our defense early and their running backs were able to slice and dice a little too easily in that first quarter,” Kuhn said. The second quarter was just as troublesome for the visitors as Southridge scored again this time on a 5-yard touchdown run by Boyd. The PAT was no good making the score 20 – 0 Southridge. Jayvee Coach Patrick Rose made a few adjustments on the defensive line and the Viking defense began to hold the Raiders forcing them to punt twice during the remainder of the period. “I can’t really blame the defense too much for our early

problems,” said Kuhn. “Our offense was stymied numerous times and plagued by interceptions and muffed exchanges.” These difficulties added to Viking woes throughout the game giving Southridge great field position and short fields in which to operate. The half ended with the home- standing Raiders up 20 – 0. At halftime the Vikings tried to regroup so that in the second half they could make a game of it. The “Cardiac Kids” who had won two early season thrillers looked for awhile to have designs on another miraculous comeback. The third quarter scoring began with a Viking touchdown pass from Aaron Droste to Bryce Martin. The lanky sophomore receiver made several spectacular catches in route to setting up his touchdown catch. Lance Inkenbrandt hauled in a two-point conversion pass from Droste to make the score 20 – 8. The Vikings scored again just one minute later after a Southridge fumble was recovered by Inkenbrandt on a 26yard pass from Droste to Martin. This time the 2-point conversion pass was incomplete to make the score 20 – 14 and it seemed the faithful North Posey crowd who had made the long sojourn to Huntingburg might be rewarded. The temporary euphoria was tempered just 36 seconds later by an 11-yard touchdown run by Perez, which was set up by great field position on a long return after the North Posey kickoff. The PAT kick failed to make the score 26 – 14 in favor of Southridge. The Raiders scored again near the end of the third quarter on a 10-yard run by sophomore running back Justin King and this time the PAT kick was good. With the score now 32 – 14 the two jayvee teams entered the fourth quarter. The fourth quarter was punctuated by a touchdown for

‘Second season’ is much kinder to Vikings By Dave Pearce The North Posey tennis team continued their second-halfof-the-season improvement this week with a 4-1 win over Pocket Athletic Conference rival Heritage Hills. Later in the week, the Vikings fell to always-tough Loogootee 3-2. “It has literally two seasons for us,” North Posey Coach Brandon Barrett said. “We started out 0-7 and since then have gone 5-3 to finish the season at 5-10. But the win over Heritage Hills did not come easy. “We thought we had a good shot at winning but they were a pretty good team,” Barrett said. “We just got on top and just didn’t let them come back.” With the regular season complete, the sectional draw was scheduled to be held on Monday evening at Princeton High School where the first round of the sectional will be played Wednesday evening, barring rain. The new Princeton High School has six courts and can accommodate the four-team sectional. Notable of the regular season was Drake Davenport and Griffin Motz who managed to finish No.1 doubles at 7-1 in conference. The team, which began the season 0-4 in the conference race, won their last three to 4-4- in the Pocket Athletic Conference race. In preparation for the sectional, the Vikings hosted Loogootee in their final match of the season and dropped a 3-2 decision. “They were a team that was just about even with us,” Barrett said. “They had a really strong No. 1 singles player who was about 6-foot-6 and a pretty good basketball player, too.”

each team. The Raiders scored first on a 2-yard run by sophomore running Neil Messmer. This time the PAT kick was no good making the score 39 – 14 in favor of Southridge. The Vikings answered with five minutes to play on a pass from freshman quarterback Preston Reese to sophomore tight end Drew Cumbee. Cumbee added the 2-point conversion pass from Reese leaping high in the end zone to haul in the ball making the final score Southridge 39, North Posey 22. “We were able to make some defensive adjustments early in the game to slow down the Raiders,” said jayvee Coach Patrick Rose. “But we obviously have a lot to work on on both sides of the ball.” Leading the Viking defensive efforts were Lance Inkenbrandt with eight tackles, Zach Wargel had six tackles and two assists, Bailey Porter had four tackles and one assist, Bryce Martin had four tackles and one assist, Dusty Graulich had three tackles and one assist, and two interceptions. Coming back from injury was Kaynin Capps. The freshman defensive lineman had three tackles. Also leading the Viking charge was Griffin Weithop who had two tackles and four assists. “I wanted to mention our student managers who have done a great job for us all season and continue to provide invaluable service on the sidelines during games and at practices,” said Coach Kuhn. “Cody Devine, Ethan Buchanan, and Austin Orlik, who is serving as a manager while recovering from an injury, are doing outstanding jobs,” added Coach Rose. The Vikings, who are now 3 – 1 next play Heritage Hills at home on Monday, September 17 at 6 pm. The results of that contest will appear in next week’s Posey county News.

But despite the close match, Barrett said his team never could get any kind of a lead on the Lions. “We’d go up 2-1 or 3-2 but they came right back and we could never seem to pull away from them,” Barrett said. “No. 1 doubles was so good at Heritage Hills and then just couldn’t get over the hump against the Lions.” But Barrett thought his No. 2 doubles team played perhaps their best match of the season, losing 6-4, 6-4 to a very solid No. 2 doubles team from Loogootee. “It was one of the better matches I have seen them play,” Barrett said. The final results from the Heritage hills match are as follows: NP 4 HH 1 #1 S Kyle Voegel (NP) def Dugan Kippenbrock 7-5, 6-4 #2 S Reed Gerteisen (NP) def Tyler Waggoner 6-0, 6-0 #3 S Jan-Philipp Eckert (NP) def Matt Wagoner 6-3, 7-6(8) #1 D Griffin Motz/Drake Davenport (NP) def Derek Kippenbrock/Seth Hancock 6-2, 6-0 #2 D Willy McElhory/Spencer Graham (HH) def Christian Jones/Grant Scheller 6-0, 2-6, 6-3 The results from the Loogootee match are: #1 S Conner Wittmer (L) def Kyle Voegel 6-2, 6-1 #2 S Reed Gerteisen (NP) def Jesse Horney 6-3, 6-3 #3 S Jan-Philipp Eckert (NP) def Tylan Norris 6-1, 6-0 #1 D Tyler Booker/Waylon Matthews (L) def Griffin Motz/ Drake Davenport 6-2, 6-3 #2 D Hayden Bell/Will Nonte (L) def Christian Jones/ Grant Scheller 6-4, 6-4

SAVAH’S EMIL SEARCY AND HIS HORSE

“JMK ABSOLUTE” BRING HOME GOLD

s a young man involved in 4-H halter competition for horses, Savah’s Emil Searcy dreamed of one day leading a good quarter horse in a national show ring. During the past three months, he’s seen his dream come true beyond his wildest imaginings. At 77 years old, he has shown his purebred palomino quarter horse, a yearling gelding named JMK Absolute, in three 2012 national amateur competitions—one in July at Tulsa, Okla., one in August at Amarillo, Texas, and one this month at Murfreesboro, Tenn. The horse stood out as number one in Tulsa and Amarillo and placed in the top three at Murfreesboro. Indeed, at Tulsa and Amarillo, Lute won a total of four world championships. “I think I have tears in my eyes,” Searcy said after his most prestigious win at the 2012 Ad-

equan Select World Championship Show with the American Quarter Horse Association, or AQHA, in Amarillo. “If I don’t, I should.” The amateur showman gives all the credit to his horse, affectionately known as “Lute,” and to Lute’s trainer, AQHA Professional Horseman Chris Arentsen. “I’ve said it before: if it weren’t for Chris, we probably wouldn’t be here,” Searcy states. The honor accorded to JMK Absolute, Searcy and Arentsen far exceeds the cash purse awarded, which typically pays for expenses. Much more meaningful to Searcy are certain gifts he brought home: the custom-designed gold trophy, the Montana

Silversmiths’ gold belt buckle and the Cripple Creek logoed jacket. Their sentimental value is priceless. “The recognition brings a lot of happiness,” Searcy admits. “Besides winning, I like doing a

were family. Surprisingly, they reveal fondness for their competitors also. Of course, they each want to win, but they truly do appreciate one another’s showmanship and the beauty of the horses. “We enjoy going out to eat and talking with one another,” says Anna Marie. “We have a good time.” The Searcys have long loved horses. Emil and Anna Marie grew up within mile in opposite directions of their Savah homestead, where they’ve lived all but six years of their 57-year-marriage. Shortly after they married, they purchased their first registered horse. About the same time, Anna Marie’s dad sold them another horse. They’ve owned horses ever since, even

“I think I have tears in my eyes,” Searcy said after his most prestigious win... good job [as a showman]. Doing a good job means everything to me.” More precious than gold are the friendships Searcy and his wife Anna Marie have formed. As expected, they speak of Chris Arentsen, one of the finest horse trainers in the nation, as if he

buying a special horse for their daughter Nelda when she participated in 4-H. Now Nelda and her husband Darrell stay busy with their daughter Shelby in Reitz marching band. In their retirement from General Electric, the Searcys depend on companionship and recreation from the yearling JMK Absolute and a 12-year-old mare, Anna Marie’s horse, named D.S. Romantic Elegance and affectionately known as “Ellie.” They don’t even mind the trips to Trenton, Ill., about 135 miles from here, to see their boarded horses. The couple plans to continue showing Lute and perhaps to even help Ellie make a comeback. They’re inspired by the octogenarian horse exhibitors at the shows. One thing’s certain: the Searcys will always present a world class act.

1960’s songs. Then it was class trivia. I thought there was going to be a brawl over a football question. I wish Al Boren would have been there; he would have settled it. Now back to those special tickets. We won North Posey T-shirts, aprons, sweat shirts, gift certificates for Lowe’s, Wal-mart, Kohl’s, Wendy’s, McDonald’s, and etc. Among the gifts, a loaf of friendship bread was made by our hostess. We needed a semi-tractor to take all our gifts home. We did have one classmate who every time a number was called, he tried to convince us he had the winning ticket. I’m thinking if he’s having this much trouble with numbers, Linda needs to check his golf scores. We had so many laughs, hugs, and stories. Newcomers that had never been to a class reunion were Jim and Rejohnna (Ricketts) Stallings & John Wassamer. I know they’ll be back and so will the rest of us. Thank you to the 1962 50th class Reunion committee for a job will done!

Texas; and Sandra (Thornburg) Elpers from Florida. There was class mate who lived the closest, but he didn’t get a prize. He debated whether to walk or drive. Didn’t you Jim Nash? A prize was given to the classmate who was married the most times. (You read this right). I had a friend who was sweating it with three times. Oh, No! The winner was five times. Now that’s one every ten years since Bob Woolston has been out of school. Wow!!! A prize was given to the one with the most children to graduate from North Posey. There was a tie with four each; Don Newcomb and Wilfred Goedde. A prize was given to the one arriving late. Beck (Motz) Lutz got that honor. If we were still in school, she’d been in trouble. The reunion was important to Wendell Crumbacher. He gave up a hog show to be with us….That’s dedication! We played games and everyone enjoyed that. Teams were divided and we had to recognize

By: Darla “Little” Colbert The 1962 class of North Posey held their 50th class reunion on September 8th at the Red Wagon Restaurant in Poseyville.

If that wasn’t something, some had to sit on the floor. That was the first problem. (You know what I mean….) Then the photographer wanted the “mean and lean” (This is a quote); this was problem number two. There was so much discussion on which guys were the mean and lean. We finally got the picture taken! Now we’re going to have a picture for our frame. Our class President Howard Nichol gave the welcome. Jerry Miser had prayer prior to the meal. Thank you to the Red Wagon staff and restaurant for a delicious meal. Candles were lit for our classmates that have passed. They are as follows: Andy Welborn, Wendell Simmons, Larry Warren, Fred Cook, Mari Frances Courtier, Alice Barrett. Susan Lawrence. Danny Kern. Jim Kohlmeyer, Penny Williams, Nancy Ramsey and Neal Price. A prize was given to the one who traveled the furthest; which was Bill Willman from California.

band uniforms and a 1962 class jacket, I know they had to have month balls in the pockets. There were photo albums and lots of pictures (Even the one from our class trip to Washington D.C.) There was a North Posey lunch chip...(Do you remember those?) This was among the memorabilia. The round tables had candle arrangements on them. There were black and red balloons everywhere! When we signed in we were given a special ticket, as we’ll find out later why. We received a hot/cold cup, an ornament, an 8 X 10 silver frame. All was engraved with North Posey class of 1962. We even had programs! Now I’m impressed! Finally, I turn and I find the room is full of handsome men and beautiful women; these were my classmates and they’re smiling and laughing. “You can pay me at the next class reunion”. We all paraded in to have our class picture taken while we all still looked fresh; yea right!

COMMUNITY STATE BANK OF SOUTHWESTERN INDIANA 220 S. Lockwood, P.O. Box 280, Poseyville IN 47633 812-874-3641 • Fax 812-422-9884

September 17, 2012 Recently the Board of Directors of CSB State Bank voted to change the bank’s name to Community State Bank of Southwestern Indiana. CSB traces its roots back to about 1900 when a private loan company opened in Cynthiana. About five years later the Cynthiana Banking Company was founded and in 1925 CSB became an Indiana state chartered bank, the Cynthiana State Bank. In 1997, the bank’s name was changed to CSB State Bank due to a branch expansion. The Board of Directors feels that one further change is needed to better define who we are – a Community State Bank of Southwestern Indiana with four offices currently open in Posey County in Cynthiana, Poseyville, St. Philip, and St. Wendel. In addition, we are pleased to announce that a 5th office will soon open in Mt. Vernon at 201 West 4th Street. Our existing customers will not notice many changes due to this change: 1. Existing customer checks can continue to be used until they are gone and then the new checks that are ordered will be sent with Community State Bank of Southwestern Indiana on them. No customer account numbers will change. 2. Existing debit cards will continue to be used until their expiration date. Just prior to that a new card will be sent with Community State Bank of Southwestern Indiana on it. 3. Soon all bank statements will show the new name, Community State Bank of Southwestern Indiana on them. 4. All existing user ID and passwords can still be used to access the banks on – line banking website and the existing website address www.csbstatebank.com can still be used. A new website address will also be available in the near future that better reflects the bank’s new name. Both web addresses will direct you to the bank's website. We’re excited to be able to tell our customers and shareholders about this change. We will continue to provide the same excellent customer service and will continue to support all of the communities in which we are located. Please contact me if you have any questions by calling 812-874-3641 or you can email me at "sbennett@csbstatebank.com".

Sincerely,

Steven A. Bennett President

New PCN Sports Editor doubles as Harmony Chapel pastor Like Posey County News, or PCN, owner and editor Dave Pearce, new PCN Sports Editor Steve Kochersperger thrives as a two-career man. Kochersperger is already well-known in the community as pastor for Harmony Chapel Church of the Nazarene in (you guessed it) New Harmony. After talking with him only a few minutes, he reveals his inspiration for working so hard— his only son, Alex. It’s no exaggeration to say Alex is his dad’s shadow whenever they are together. A single parent, Kochersperger wants to spend as much time with his son as possible. Since Kochersperger and his son share a love for all sports, with baseball their favorite, and it was a disappointment to both of them when their favorite college team, Louisville, didn’t win the NCAA championship. Needless to say, Alex approves of his dad’s new second career. Likewise, he doesn’t mind his dad’s first career. Kochersperger says he received the call from God to ministry when he was 16 years old. After graduating from his hometown Charlestown (Ind.) High School in 1994,

he completed studies at Olivet Nazarene College, going straight from there to Nazarene Theological Seminary in Kansas City. During seminary, he managed a homeless shelter in Kansas City. Harmony Chapel is his first pastorate. For the five years he’s served Harmony Chapel, Kochersperger has led the church in two major outreach programs: the Wednesday night Caravan program for children and youth and the Clothing Closet, opened now on an individual basis, primarily for children. He is hoping to expand the Clothing Closet to operate the same days as the New Harmony Food Pantry. In addition, Kochersperger serves with Pastor Jason Farrar as manager of the summer youth recreation program for kids, targeting 6th through 8th graders. Both gentlemen are active in the New Harmony Ministerial Association. Kochersperger’s parents Tony and Linda Kochersperger have retired to Jeffersonville, Ind. In addition to Steve, they have been blessed with two children, Theresa and James, and their families. Seven-year-old Alex Kochersperger has a heart for all his

family. He is a second grader at Evansville’s Highland Elementary. Not only does he enjoy watching baseball, he is an enthusiastic player of the sport. Except for
