New Harmony man guilty of sex crime

By Dave Pearce A 59-year-old Posey County man accused of fondling an 8-yearold girl at his home was found guilty by a jury trial this week of child molestation, a Class C Felony. A tentative sentencing date of October 1 has been set. Michael J. Simpson, 59, of New Harmony, faces a maximum sentence of eight years on the count.

According to Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers, Simpson was originally being held at the Posey County Jail but had been released after posting a $2,500 cash bond. He was taken into custody immediately after the conviction was read.

“As soon as the guilty verdict came back on this case, Posey County Circuit Court Judge James Redwine ordered Simpson taken into custody,” Clowers said. “Detective Alan Sherretz, who had been the leading detective in the

Michael Simpson case, was sitting next to me and he immediately took him into custody.”

He was indicted in April of 2011 by a Posey County grand jury for molesting the child, a member of the family, earlier last year.

Indiana State Police received a complaint on March 30, 2011, ac-

cusing Simpson of molesting the girl the previous week.

An investigation by Detective Alan Sherretz allegedly revealed that Simpson fondled the child while she was sleeping during an overnight stay at his New Harmony residence.

“Detective Sherretz did a very thorough job of investigating and bringing a good case to me,” Clowers said.

The child was taken to Holly’s House in Evansville prior to the charges being filed and was interviewed by Jenny Wood, a nationally-certified child forensic interviewer.

Clowers stressed the potential long-term damage a child can face following molestation.

“Children are so important to us and to our community,” Clowers said. “It was a sensitive trial but I believe the correct results came of it.”

Boy Scouts Sponsor run Boy Scout Troop 387 will host a 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, September 29 during Autumnfest in Poseyville. We hope to make this an annual event. A Facebook event has been created under: Boy Scout Troop 387-5K Run.

The group will accept all monetary and food donations while there also. If you are interested in helping by volunteering at the booth with pantry volunteers, that opportunity will be available. The group will need plenty of help.

Lily Pad meeting set The newly formed Lily Pad Cancer Support Group will hold its first meeting Monday, September 17, starting at 6 p.m. and ending promptly at 8 p.m.

Mount Vernon General Baptist Church, 1717 N. Main Street, has agreed to host the group monthly every third Monday.

By Dave Pearce A Mount Vernon, Ind., police officers responding to a burglary complaint at Green Valley Apartment Complex Wednesday night found an elderly woman in her apartment with injuries to the back of her head and throat.

According to Mount Vernon Police Chief Grant Beloat, on August 29, 2012, at 9:54 p.m.

Mount Vernon Police were notiChris Jolley fied of a burglary complaint at Green Valley Apartment Complex apartment 41. Officers responded and found a back window to the apartment open and could hear a dog inside barking. The apartment was the home of 70-year-old Frances Jarvis. Officers made entry into the apartment after Mrs. Jarvis’s son came to the scene with a key to the apartment. Officers located Mrs. Jarvis inside the apartment with a laceration to the back of her head and bruising around her throat.

Jarvis was transported to the hospital for medical attention. Statements were taken from witnesses at the scene and other evidence was collected through the crime scene investigation.

Their investigation led them to arrest Christopher S. Jolley, 28, on preliminary charges of attempted murder, burglary resulting in injury and aggravated battery.

Jolley of 1000 O’Donnell Road was established as a suspect, located in the Green Valley Apartment complex and taken to the Posey County Jail to be interviewed.

There, according to a police statement, he admitted to breaking into Jarvis’s apartment and attempting to steal prescription medication that he believed was inside. Police reported he admitted to pushing Jarvis down, causing her to strike her head. He also told detectives that he had choked and attempted to suffocate Jarvis so she would not make any noise.

Jarvis was transported to a hospital, treated for her injuries and released.

This is the case being worked

by Mount Vernon City Police with the assistance of Sheriff’s Detective Tom Latham. Jolley is lodged in the Posey County Jail on a $250,000 cash bond only, charged with Attempted Murder from an incident where he broke into an Elderly Woman’s apartment and accosted her.

The Posey County Sheriff’s Department and Indiana State Police assisted in the investigation.

OPINION

Dynamic Duo at Hedges Links Posey People to Healthcare Services Since February this year, registered nurse Shelley Vance and social worker Steve Oakley have worked as ECHO Community Health Care’s Community Case Management Team, or CCMT, in Posey County.

Every Tuesday night from 5 – 7 p.m., the dynamic duo sits faithfully in the hallway near At the Cross Mission, located now at Hedges Central, ready to connect uninsured Posey people with healthcare services.

A grant from United Way of Posey County funds this wonderful outreach.

Shelley provides blood pressure and blood sugar screenings as well as dresses minor wounds on the spot—all free of charge to all visitors.

Then, Steve talks with people about their access to resources and works hard to link the uninsured with a regular medical provider.

Shelley and Steve provide a chance for people to establish care as an ECHO patient and to obtain a patient

appointment—complete with free transportation, if needed—at one

LIVING FOR THE JOURNEY

BY PAM ROBINSON of ECHO Community Health Care’s five medical clinics in Evansville.

Medical care is provided for the uninsured on a sliding scale fee which is based on income. Services are free of charge for the homeless.

Health clinic services are provided by board certified providers: family medicine physicians, an internal medicine physician, Ob/Gyn physicians, pediatricians, a certified nurse midwife and family nurse practitioners.

Services for ECHO patients include health promotion and pediatric and prenatal case management, mental health assistance by health therapists, age specific preventative

care (immunizations, screening, counseling and laboratory assessment), after hours provider coverage on call, social work services and basic laboratory services. Diagnostic X-ray services are available by arrangement, and dental services can be accessed through referral.

Each clinic serves as a Hoosier Healthwise Enrollment Center as well.

Moreover, if patients need emergency shelter and food arrangements, or transportation and community referrals, they will be helped to receive these resources.

In addition, established patients may receive specialty services—dermatology, adult psychiatry, child psychiatry, child psychology, physical therapy, surgery, ophthalmology, endocrinology. Established patients, without prescription coverage and within income guidelines, may also participate in the Prescription Assistance Program.

Again, if visitors to Hedges lack transporta-

tion, Steve can set them up with free transportation to the appropriate ECHO clinic and back home as set up by a cooperative effort between ECHO Community Health Care and the Posey County Council on Aging. Likewise, Mount Vernon’s First United Methodist Church pro-

vides free transportation for fully ambulatory adults and children to and from ECHO clinics.

Shelley and Steve hope to serve more and more Posey people in need.

Anyone needing additional healthcare services must bring only wage verification from Work One and a photo ID, or if

homeless, proof of shelter or explanation of living situation.

We all can do our part by spreading the word that Shelley and Steve are just waiting to talk with visitors on Tuesday nights at Hedges. Maybe soon, they won’t be the best kept secret in Posey County.

all of your worries. For a slightly different experience, visit the Harmonist Labyrinth, a living walkway with hedges on either side of you.

If you are a history buff, the Working Men’s Institute – Indiana’s oldest continuously operating public library – is a must. The archives and 19th century museum will supplement your understanding of the communal societies that settled in New Harmony over 175 years ago.

Perhaps not as dated as New Harmony are what you will find in the numer-

ous antique shops that the town has to offer. These shops are fun to stroll into as you relive childhood memories and peruse through collectibles.

Make a weekend of your trip to New Harmony by staying at the New Harmony Inn. This small, bed and breakfast has 90 rooms that provide great lake views and sprawling grounds with waterfalls and fountains. After the day’s activities have left you famished, look no further than the award-winning Red Geranium restaurant, a romantic setting for a night

out. Pop’s Grill and Old Fashioned Ice Cream Shop is also a great place for a burger and a shake, but if you are looking for pizza and beer, Yellow Tavern is the place to be.

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

Guest Column by State Rep. Wendy McNamara Come visit New Harmony As a resident of Southwest Indiana, it is imortanttant to remind ourselves of the true treasures we hold in our backyards.

Indiana is a melting pot for a wide variety of cultures and lifestyles, but we are unified in our Hoosier heritage. The same can be said about New Harmony.

The rich history of this once utopian society serves as a reminder to Hoosiers that great things can happen in the smallest of places. In the 1800s, New Harmony was a center for advancing education and scientific research. Its residents were forward-thinking in their

construction of one of the first, free public libraries in the country – the Working Men’s Institute.

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

Today, the history of New Harmony is still prev-

alent as you walk through Carol’s Garden and Paul Tillich Park; both beautiful places. But, before you begin your visit, be sure to start at the Antheneum and take a historic tour.

Richard Meier, a world-renowned architect, designed the modern and chic building that has models of New Harmony in 1824.

The next must-see attraction is the Cathedral Labyrinth, a replica of the famed labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral in France.

The serenity you will find as you take the winding path to the center of the labyrinth and back out again is sure to alleviate

Gavel Gamut’s ‘Chicken Soup For Renee’ Last week I made a few unsolicited marriage survival suggestions to Alex. Today his bride to be, Renee, will receive a similar benefit of comparable worth.

Other than being married myself, my main qualification for advising newlyweds is my experience of being involved in the opposite end of several thousand marriages. Of course, as Peg will tell you, the mere fact I have observed such situations does not ensure I learned anything from them. But, Renee, you always have the same option Peg usually chooses to apply to my advice.

As with Alex, why don’t you and I start with the wedding? Although I am aware you bear the great weight of responsibility for the ceremony, you do not want to miss your own wedding. That is, you want to actually enjoy it, not just survive it. So, as often as you can, stop, look and meditate. Take time to breathe and be alone with your thoughts, then, when you must deal with the myriad of details, you can smile as plans go awry.

Well, that’s about all I know about weddings so let’s move on to your marriage. We can start with the elephant in the room, money. Nobody talks about money and everybody thinks about it. In the counseling course I require for divorcing couples I make sure there is a section on money management. In my experience, there is a fundamental truth to the Bible’s admonition: “The love of money is the root of all evil.” So, what do I advise? Talk about it!

Okay, now on to the great mysteries of connubial bliss.

Shopping seems like a good place to start. I suggest you always invite Alex to go with

GAVEL GAMUT

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE you. Of course, unless there are heavy objects to move, you do not really want him around as you browse for hours and sip Starbuck’s. But if you act like you want him to come, he will worship you when you finally say, “Oh, honey, that’s alright. Why don’t you just go play golf?”

Next, let’s address the predictable male ego and how a wise wife can manipulate it.

Say you want a project done around the house. You might start by telling Alex that you just don’t understand how these silly things work. He is a man. He needs to solve problems. If you compliment him, he will tear into that work before he knows he is doing it.

And, what about spending time with your friends, a book club perhaps? All you need to do is suggest Alex would truly enjoy discussing some romance novel with several women and he will provide his own excuses to be elsewhere.

As to your families, both yours and his can be wonderful assets and friends. You can help him realize that by welcoming them into your home even when you are busy. If you tell him how well he burns the hamburgers, he will even do the cooking.

Renee, none of this may

be of any value to you. However, the following advice, if followed, can get you both through some hard times. It is the recipe for chicken soup developed by my older sister based on our mother’s experience as a working wife and mother and as improvised by Peg. I suggest most problems in your marriage can be assuaged with this magic elixir.

Chicken Soup Debone a rotisserie chicken. Put the bones and skin in a cheesecloth bag. Place the bag along with the meat into a large soup pan. Cover it with water, add onions, celery, and any spices you want (peppercorns, bay leaf, thyme, etc.)

Simmer this mixture for several hours making sure along the way that there is enough water to keep it covered. After it has simmered a long time pour it thru a colander to get rid of everything except the broth; set the meat aside.

Taste it to see if it needs more salt (the rotisserie chicken may render enough to satisfy your taste). At this point, if you don’t want anything but broth, your soup is done.

However, if you want a more hearty brew, set aside one cup of the broth in a small pan. To this broth you will gradually add ¼ cup poultry mix, whisking carefully so it doesn’t lump up. Then add it to the large soup pan, again whisking it so it doesn’t get lumpy. Add the meat back in along with sliced carrots and one cup of wild rice to 2 cups of liquid; simmer the mixture again until the rice is done.

You may also add any other vegetables, such as peas, etc., and simmer the whole mixture until the rice and vegetables are done.

Letters to the Editor WWII veteran from New Harmony passes away Dear Editor: I grew up in the postWorld War II era with parents who lived through the Great Depression and with post-World War I veterans who told their stories.

I reflect back years ago when my father, with eyes glistening, informed me that the last World War I veteran in New Harmony

survivor passed away. Morris was a good man, a good neighbor, and more importantly, he was the one of the last World War II veterans living in New Harmony. He was my father’s age. And now we are about to lose a whole generation who as young men saved the world.

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

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

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

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

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

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

I am fully confident that that will not happen.

Sickle cell disease causes Beagle mix, brown and white, picked up in Poseyville red blood cells to form an near the Red Wagon on August 21. abnormal crescent shape.

One of the most common treatments for sickle cell disease is regular blood transfusions, which can help reduce the risk of stroke, damage to major organs that can lead to severe infections, and other complications. There is currently no cure for sickle cell disease.

It’s important that blood donors reflect the ethnic diversity of the patients who receive their blood. Patients with sickle cell disease – primarily in the AfricanAmerican community – are less likely to have complications from blood donated by someone within their racial and ethnic group. The Red Cross is committed to maintaining a diverse base of blood donors to help ensure that all blood types are available for patients with serious medical needs.

Sarah Dodd, Regent of General Thomas Posey Chapter, DAR looks on as Mayor John Tucker signs the Proclamation announcing the week starting September 17, 2012 as Constitution Week. Photo submitted

America celebrates U.S. Constitution September 17, 2012, begins the national celebration of Constitution Week. The weeklong commemoration of America’s most important document is one of our country’s least known official observances. Our Constitution stands as a testament to the tenacity of Americans throughout history to maintain their liberties and freedom, and to ensure those inalienable rights to every American.

The tradition of celebrating the Constitution was started many years ago by the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). In 1955, the Daughters petitioned Congress to set aside September 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was later adopted by the U.S. Congress and signed into Public Law #915 on August 2, 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The aims of the celebration are to (1) emphasize citizens’ responsibilities for protecting and defending the Constitution, preserving it for posterity; (2) inform the people that the Constitution is the basis for America’s great heritage and the foundation for our way of life; and (3) encourage the study of the histori-

cal events which led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787.

The United States of America functions as a Republic under the Constitution, which is the oldest document still in active use that outlines the self-government of a people. This landmark idea that men had the inalienable right as individuals to be free and live their lives under their own governance was the impetus of the American Revolution. Today, the Constitution stands as an icon of freedom for people around the world.

"We must remember and teach that those who wrote the Constitution believed that no government can create freedom, but that government must guard freedom rather than encroach upon the freedoms of its people" stated Merry Ann T. Wright, President General of the DAR. "The Constitution by itself cannot guarantee liberty. A nation’s people can remain free only by being responsible citizens who are willing to learn about the rights of each arm of government and require that each is accountable for its own function. Therefore, Constitution Week is the perfect opportunity to read

and study this great document which is the safeguard of our American liberties.

We encourage all citizens across the country to take time this week to guard that which is committed to us by our forefathers... our freedom."

DAR has served America for 122 years as its foremost cheerleader. In 1928, the Daughters began work on a building as a memorial to the Constitution. John Russell Pope, architect of the Jefferson Memorial, was commissioned to design the performing arts center, known as DAR Constitution Hall. Today, DAR Constitution Hall is the only structure erected in tribute to the Constitution of the United States of America.

Known as the largest women’s patriotic organization in the world, DAR has over 165,000 members with approximately 3,000 chapters in all 50 states and 11 foreign countries. The DAR has long promoted patriotism through commemorative celebrations, memorials, scholarships and activities for children, and programs for new immigrants. For more information about DAR and its programs visit www.dar.org or call (202) 628-1776.

Hannah Erwin tolled the bell on Sunday, Sept. 2, at 3 p.m. as Jerilyn Erwin (left) and others from Trinity United Church of Christ (Mount Vernon) gathered to remember the people and homes lost in Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky during the tornadoes of March 2, 2012.

Picturing Posey exhibit at Alexandrian Library In conjunction with Mount Vernon River Days, the Alexandrian Public Library will be holding an exhibition of photographs documenting life in Posey County from May 6 to May 12 of this year.

Posey County is a beautiful place. Much of it is tucked away in old barns or in remote locations, but some of it has been found and photographically preserved here for public viewing.

This will be an opportunity for the public to see what others in the county considered important, beautiful or unique about Posey County.The exhibit will contain the works of twenty-two armature and

professional local photographers who wandered through Posey County for one specific week in search of that perfect shot representing life in the county.

What caught their attention? In one picture a woman walking her dog along the river front while in another there is an evening baseball game. A few found historical building of importance and a bed of blooming flowers. The eye of the beholder directed what each of these pictures portrays.

The subject matter is as diverse and varied as one can imagine when so many individuals are involved. It is so interesting to observe how the photographer in-

terpreted the objective of this project.

The exhibit will be held Friday, September 7, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, September 8, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. & Sunday, September 9, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The exhibit area will be in the Alexandrian Public Library meeting rooms. “It is our intention to eventually preserve these photographs in book form, “APL marketing director Stan Campbell said. “If the exhibit proves popular, there is a possibility of repeating the project at a later date.”

Following the exhibit, the public will be able to view the pictures in the library’s Indiana Room.

Big Tent Revival September 9 - 13 at Mount Vernon General Baptist Church

Ministers pray for renewal of God’s people at Big Tent Revival in Mount Vernon

By Pam Robinson Five preachers passionate about Posey County people will speak during the Big Tent Revival, Sunday, Sept. 9, through Thursday, Sept. 13, in Mount Vernon.

Literally, a big tent, reminiscent of oldtime camp meetings, will be spread on the lawn of Mount Vernon General Baptist Church, or MVGBC, 1717 N. Main Street. More than 200 seats will be set up under the tent, but the Senior Pastor at MVGBC, Rev. Matt Watson, says the tent can cover more—and hopes the crowd expands the tent to capacity.

The Big Tent Revival opens on the heels of River Days, where informational cards will be available. The speakers are scheduled as follows: on Sunday, Brother Lucas Ricketts, Boyce Bible College, Louisville; on Monday, Pastor Derrick Ousley, First Baptist Church in Mount Vernon; on Tuesday, Pastor Jim Weihrauch, Agape Family Ministries in Mount Vernon; on Wednesday, Pastor Tyrone Edwards, Forest Hills Baptist Church in Evansville; and on Thursday, Pastor Matt Watson, MVGBC. The opening speaker, Brother Lucas

Ricketts, is a Posey County native with an amazing addiction recovery story.

“I was led to Christ in the Henderson County, Kentucky, jail waiting to go to prison for the second time,” Ricketts explains during a phone interview.

His conversion happened in 2006, and Christ ministered to his heart while he served 4 ½ years in prison. There, he was supported the first year through the Good News Jail Ministry and the remainder of his sentence through the prison’s own chaplain and support staff.

“I had tremendous support,” Ricketts recalls. “They taught me theology; they taught me the Bible. They helped me to cultivate my skills. They knew I had the call of God to preach on my life, and they helped to cultivate that, to grow that, throughout my time. That’s one of the main reasons I am where I am today and doing what I am today.”

Ricketts is now studying two years at Boyce Bible College in Louisville before attending Louisville’s Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He wants to return to Posey County afterward to begin his ministry.

Point Township Church program begins Point Township Church of the Nazarene fall Caravan program will begin Wed., Sept. 12, at 6:30 p.m. Everyone is invited to come.

There will be something

for everyone. Anyone who needs a ride may call the church at 838-5182 and leave a message. Pastor Troy DeKemper looks forward to seeing all of you.

Kids Club to start Sept. 5 in Griffin Griffin Christian Church is excited to invite the community to our new Wednesday Night Kids Club (WNKC), meeting Wednesdays from 6-7:30 p.m. throughout the school year beginning September 5.

Groups LIVE Children’s Curriculum will be featured.

This study is produced to “help kids develop a friendship with God, strengthen their Bible skills, and learn

key Bible truths”. There will be music, games and activities, Bible exploration, and prayer. We ask that everyone come early September 5 to sign up.

The church invites those wishing to volunteer or anyone needing a ride to call the church at 812-851-3291. Parents who would like to attend are also encouraged to do so.

We thank you for the opportunity to serve.

The second speaker, Pastor Derrick Ousley, who has led First Baptist Church in Mount Vernon for nearly six years, reflects on the importance of revival to the “spiritual awakening” of the community.

He hopes people realize how short temporal life is in comparison to eternity.

“We would like to see an spiritual awakening in our community that is over and above the civic awakening and the social awakening that is perhaps going on in our community,” Ousley states. “We want God to really pour out blessings upon us through people understanding their own sin, their own plight before God, and recognizing that the only solution is through salvation in Jesus Christ and the blessings that are found in him.”

Likewise, founder of Agape Family Ministries in Mount Vernon, Rev. Jim Weihrauch believes in God’s power to mend broken lives through revival.

“We live in very difficult times. Families are broken and fragmented,” he says. “I think Matt [Watson] and I, and every other speaker who will be there, believe Jesus Christ is the answer to put-

ting our families back together, our communities. We believe that passionately.”

Another enthusiastic speaker is Pastor Tyrone Edwards of Forest Hills Baptist Church in Evansville. The Golden Glove boxer trains with Guns –n- Hoses, and MVGBC Pastor Matt Watson recognizes his appeal to youth as a man’s man—with religion.

Closing the revival, Matt Watson wants to reach the region as well as the local community through hearing different speakers. Like his four colleagues, he believes the Bible is our blueprint for living the good life.

“Revival is about spiritual revival that gets us back to the Scripture as God’s inspired Word. Revival is about believers getting back to being people of the Book,” Watson comments. “Ninety percent of the people don’t go to church on the weekend—90 percent of them. They may say, ‘I’m a Christian,’ but as far as practicing their faith in a gathering of believers every weekend—it’s just not happening. We need a revival.”

These five ministers are prepared for the harvest in Posey County.

Mt. Zion to participate in National Back to Church Sunday “Back to Church Sunday,” part of a national movement of churches across America, will be held at Mt. Zion GBC in Wadesville at 8:00 & 10:30 am Sept. 16. Everyone is welcome to attend.

National “Back to Church Sunday” (www. backtochurch.com) is an initiative that is “Inviting America Back to Church.”

It seeks to reach the "un-churched" and "dechurched"—people who once attended church, but don't any more—and invite them to return for a special Sunday. Back to Church Sunday was

launched four years ago in response to a survey of 15,000 adults in the United States. Results showed a personal invitation from a family member would prompt 67 percent of Americans to visit a church, and 63 percent said an invitation from a friend or neighbor would cause them to attend a service.

“Back To Church Sunday is the perfect opportunity for anyone to see what “church” is really all about. No church is perfect because it is made up of imperfect people but our God is perfect,” said

Rev. Rick Sellers, Pastor.

Since its inception, National Back to Church Sunday participants have invited more than five million family members, friends, and neighbors to their churches.

About 14,000 churches are expected to participate this year, inviting more than two million visitors.

The American Religious Identification Survey showed that 83 percent of American adults identify themselves as Christians.

In contrast, another survey by the Barna Group indicated only about 20 percent of Americans at-

tends church on any given Sunday. Back to Church Sunday’s goal is to invite or re-invite America to rediscover church.

“Back to Church Sunday” has an interactive Facebook page (www. facebook.com/backtochurch) and a roster of participating churches on the Back to Church website at BacktoChurch.com/ find_a_church.

Mt. Zion GBC is a friendly, family church located at 1425 Oliver Rd. in Wadesville. For more information, go to www. mzgb.org or call (812) 781.9298.

Sermon of the Week: Revival Stories that Stretch and Stir

By Pastor Matthew Watson, MVGB Church In 2010, Zondervan Publishing released a book titled “A God-Sized Vision”

by Collin Hansen and John Woodbridge. The book sports a subtitle: “Revival Stories that Stretch and Stir.” This article will offer brief interaction with this book and mention a community opportunity for revival!

Revival is preceded by the church rediscovering the “grand glorious, central truths” of Scripture. These truths include “the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ by his blood on the Cross, his miraculous resurrection, God’s sovereign intervention in this world, and judgment for sin (14).” Hansen and Woodbridge’s book quotes the great English preacher Martin Lloyd-Jones in poignant fashion. He states, “However great a defender of the faith [one] may be, however doughty a champion of orthodoxy [one may be], he can fight and sweat…and write and do…things, but he is of no avail, he is important, [but] he cannot stem the tide.

We [in our humanism] persist in thinking that we can set the situation right. We [want to solve a modern crisis so] we start a new society, we write a book, we organize a campaign, and we are convinced that we are going to hold back the tide. But we cannot. When the enemy comes in like a flood, it is the Lord who will raise…the banner.

The fact of revival proves… so clearly again and again the…smallness of man left to himself (14).”

Revival is the answer to our modern crisis. Satan, the accuser (Revelation 12),

might accuse us into believing politics, defense, or educational theory alone will solve our modern crisis. Our modern crisis is seen, when seen, through the lens of 150 million orphans, diminished middle class, generational drug addiction, lax ethics, loss of self-control, poor money management skills, greed, boredom, incessant fighting, hurt, online eye gouging, casual work-ethic, and a less than ten percent worship attendance per capita per weekend. The modern crisis is seen by a small number of ethically minded people working frantically and a large number of eye-glazed disinterested unengaged people feeling little impetus to serve [and if they did feel an impetus to serve would not know where and how].

The modern crisis, “demands a God-sized response (14).”

Revival is something God does. Here are four ways you may request God bring revival in our town.

First, rediscover the Bible as the revelatory book in which God has spoken. The sixty-six books of the Bible, Genesis to Revelation, record renewal in a time of prophets, priests and kings. Read about Josiah the young king who rediscovered the book of law.

Great revival broke out with the people! They were filled not with dutiful pity but glorious joy! The people, in times of revival, are first stricken with guilt over their sin and second lifted with glorious promise of forgiveness in Christ. Apathy is broken when the hero of the Bible, Jesus Christ, is rediscovered by a people (16). Habakkuk 3:2 notes, “Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe

of your deeds, O Lord. Renew them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy.”

Second, pray for revival.

You can specifically pray with Jim, Derrick, Tyrone, Lucas and I [Matt] as we seek God for revival in September.

What if we could rediscover the Scripture September 9-13 just on the heels of rediscovering our heritage at River Days September 7-9? What if we sought God together for an answer to our modern crisis? What if you prayed for revival?

Third, sing. You do not have to be an on-key singer to participate. One of my favorite song-leaders implores the tone-deaf singer to “sing a little less pretty and a lot more loud!” Sing spiritual songs and hymns. This is what Ephesians chapter five implores. While there are many songs that spur on our worship of God, try “Revive Us Again.” Scottish doctor William Mackay felt drawn to Habakkuk 3:2 [mentioned above] and reflected on God’s mighty work in redemptive history. Mackay thought of the prophet Habakkuk’s emboldened prayer in the midst of a modern crisis. Habakkuk prayed for revival though exile loomed for disobedient Judah. Mackay wrote the hymn “Revive Us Again” in 1863.

The lyrics of “Revive Us Again” support our idea of revival. Here are the lyrics: “[v] We praise Thee, O God, for the Son of Thy Love, For Jesus who died and is now gone above. [v2] We praise Thee, O God, for Thy Spirit of light, Who has shown us our Savior and scattered our night. [v3] All glory and

praise to the Lamb that was slain, Who has borne all our sins and has cleansed every stain. [v4] Revive us again; fill each heart with Thy love; May each soul be rekindled with fire from above. [chorus] Hallelujah, Thine the glory!

Hallelujah, amen!

Hallelujah, Thine the glory!

Revive us again (19-20).”

We will surely sing together September 9-13.

Fourth, simply, show up.

God will do something with us together He will not do with you alone. Show up.

Read, pray, sing, and show up to “Big Tent Revival” September 9-13 at 6 pm

nightly. Drive, walk, or ask a participating church for a ride to 1717 North Main Street. Your landmark, other than a marquee message and yard sign and many people, is a big tent on the front lawn!

If not now, then when? And if not you then who will seek God for revival?

Past-Presidents of the United Way of Posey County Steve Bennett; Wayne Games; Bill Gillenwater; David Givens; Michelle Hudson; Ken Meyer; Jon Neufelder; Dan Ritter; and

Larry Williams were also recognized.

Keith Spurgeon, last year’s campaign chairperson, said that the Leadership Givers were vital in helping the United Way of Posey County raise over $664,447 in last fall’s campaign. He said this year’s campaign will kick off on September 19 at 8 AM at the Alexandrian Public Library in Mount Vernon at a breakfast that will be provided, cooked, and served by the United Way Board of Directors to thank United Way volunteers for their efforts in recognition of the 50th Anniversary and everyone is invited. Guest speaker will be Michelle Hudson, local realtor of the Shrode Agency and long-time community supporter. More than 120 volunteers will work throughout the United Way campaign to raise this year’s goal of $690,000.

Keith Spurgeon noted that there are 21 agencies that provide services to Posey County people this year who received United Way of Posey County funds including Albion Fellows Bacon Center, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Buffalo Trace Council – Boy Scouts of America, Catholic Charities, Children’s Learning Center of Posey County, Christian Church Day Care Center, Community Emergency Assistance, ECHO Community Health Care, Family Matters, Homeless Shelter of Mt. Vernon, Indiana Legal Services, Lampion Center, New Harmony Ministry Association, Posey County Council on Aging, Posey County Red Cross, Posey County Rehabilitation Services, Rehabilitation Center, Salvation Army, Visiting Nurse Association of Southwestern Indiana, WNIN Radio Reading Service and Willow Tree of Posey County. Last year over 15,790 Posey County residents used the services of at least one of these agencies.

NORTH POSEY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT OF THE MONTH

CODY DAVID DEVINE Date Of Birth: 9/13/94 Grade: Senior – 12th Grade Parent/Guardian(s): David and Jennifer Devine Hobbies / Community Involvement: Student Council, National Honors Society, Big Brothers Big Sisters, PEERS Project, North Posey Relay for Life, Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

Keith Spurgeon announced that, in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the United Way of Posey County, there will be a Variety Show with a dozen exceptional acts on Saturday, October 13, at 7:00 P.M. at the Mount Vernon High School Auditorium. The Variety Show, hosted by Dan Katz, will be free to the public as a celebration and a thank you to the Posey County Community for its generosity and support these past 50 years. Spurgeon said that Consolidated Grain & Barge Co. had offered to sponsor this 50th Anniversary event in addition to its support of the United Way campaign so that no United Way funds or contributions will be used for this event.

Wayne Games, this year’s campaign chairman, mentioned that Sabic, Babcock & Wilcox, St. Wendel School, St. Philip School, St. Matthew School, MSD Mt. Vernon, and MSD North Posey, are Pacesetters this year, running their United Way campaign early to get the drive off to a good start. He noted that this is Babcock & Wilcox’s 50th year in Mount Vernon, also, and that B&W employees helped to start the United Way in Posey County.

Michelle Hudson introduced the winner of the Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award, Margaret Maier, and explained that the Award had been started in 2007 to honor Elizabeth D. Baier’s 25th anniversary as Executive Director of the United Way of Posey County. The Award recognizes an incoming high school senior who resides in Posey County for outstanding leadership, volunteerism, and community involvement.

Margaret Maier, a senior at Mount Vernon High School and daughter of Paul and Jackie Maier, spoke of the need to help others and her plans to become a doctor. She will be an ambassador for the United Way of Posey County among her peers and throughout the community for the next year.

Executive Director Elizabeth Baier told the Leadership Givers that their support was making a difference in our community, and was an important part of claiming the matching grant of just over $65,000 earlier this year that was used to have the Neighbor to Neighbor classes about financial stability offered in the northern part of the County through Community Emergency Assistance, ECHO Community Health Care offering more services to the uninsured

and underinsured of Posey County, and Big Brothers Big Sisters become fully established throughout all of Posey County. She said “These efforts to strengthen the financial stability of Posey County families, provide more access to health care, and help young people grow up to be participating citizens in a strong community are the beginnings of efforts that will change lives in our community.”

Elizabeth Baier asked everyone to become a part of the United Way campaign, saying that each person is needed “as we work to meet the challenges of the future.”

Individuals using the services of local United Way agencies including the Neighbor to Neighbor program through Community Emergency Assistance, ECHO Community Health Care, and the Rehabilitation Center spoke of the importance of having the programs and services available and the impact that these programs and services have on people’s lives. One speaker said that participating in the Neighbor to Neighbor program taught her financial responsibility and to know the difference between needs and wants, and that she is now a facilitator for the program.

The local man using the services of ECHO Community Health Care said that he had no health insurance even though he was employed fulltime and that he head serious health problems and expensive prescriptions. He said he was able to receive skilled and compassionate health care and help with the medication to enable him to keep living his normal life and working to help others.

The mother of a young girl using the Rehabilitation Center spoke of how the child was autistic and how the services had changed their lives because their daughter was able to communicate, participate, and attend school. The child greeted the group and stood with her mother while she spoke.

The featured speaker of the event was Bob Jones, President and CEO of Old National Bank who told the Leadership Givers that they are the fabric of this community and made a difference every day in what they do. He said the idea of Local People Helping Local People is a very important part of what makes Posey County a vibrant community of people looking out for each other. He noted that many people help each of us during our lives and even though you may say thank you, you can never really pay it back, but you can pay it forward. He said, “You can make a difference the next time. If you have a good life, pay it forward so other people are as blessed as you are.”

Wayne Games, campaign chairman, said reaching the campaign goal was going to be a big challenge this year $690,000, up from $640,000 last year and was an increase of $50,000 in recognition of the 50th anniversary. He said that it was attainable with everyone’s help and that we are

fortunate to live in this community of caring people where it is important to everyone if people need help.

Games asked everyone to look at the Leadership Giving levels, which start at $250, to think about going to the next level, to talk to co-workers and neighbors about giving a little more, and to think about how “life is good, so we can do that.”

Games added “Help our United Way in Posey County reach its goal and celebrate 50 years of service to the people of Posey County.”

Pork industry faces record losses

By Purdue Weekly Outlook A tsunami of red ink is about to wash across the pork industry which is facing losses unseen even in the fall of 1998 when hog prices at times approached zero value.

The stressors include: more hogs than expected, rapid sow liquidation now underway, and record feed prices.

Losses in the final quarter of this year could be $60 per head, exceeding the previous record quarterly losses of $45 per head in the fall of 1998.

Slaughter numbers in the past two weeks have been up six percent when only about one percent more hogs were expected. This has caused a $10 per hundredweight drop in live prices since late July, with prices now in the low$60s. The source of those extra hogs is probably related to some delayed marketings due to the summer heat, to a desire to sell pigs more quickly before prices really tumble moving into fall, and to high sow slaughter. Projected prices for the final quarter this year are in the mid-$50s, us-

“I’m excited about the opportunity to further our efforts in managing for soil health through this CIG announcement,” said Kimberly Neumann, Acting State Conservationist for Indiana, “By implementing these conservation projects Hoosier farmers have the opportunity to demonstrate how managing for soil health can enhance resilience to drought conditions.”

Grant applications are due Oct. 15, 2012. Private individuals, Tribes, local and state governments and nongovernmental organizations can apply.

Funds will be awarded through a competitive grants process for projects lasting for one to three years. Apply electronically at www.grants. gov/ or contact the NRCS National CIG office at (703) 235-8065.

NRCS is especially interested in projects that demonstrate: •Cropping or grazing systems that increase resiliency to drought through improved soil health; •Increases in available soil water holding capacity by en-

Energizing Indiana’s Commercial &Industrial (C&I) Prescriptive Rebate Program is specifically designed to help facility managers and building owners achieve long-term, cost-effective energy savings.

“We utilized the Energizing Indiana rebates to change lighting in 6 of our locations,” said Jamie Brown, Director of Operations. “Not only did the rebate, that totaled more than $1,000, make the program very attractive, we will save approximately 50,000 kWh by decreasing T-12 bulbs and installing new CFLs.” Mead Johnson Nutrition is utilizing Energizing Indiana’s program to help offset the cost of replacing older, energy-wasting chillers with newer, more efficient cooling equipment and also to install variable frequency drives on pumps, which will save even more energy. “The company is committed to reducing our energy footprint, because it’s good for the business and good for the environment,” said Julie Adkins, Manager, North American Facility Administration. “We estimate our annual energy savings to be significant – over 1.2 million kWh – and the rebate

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has announced the availability of up to $5 million in grants to evaluate and demonstrate agricultural practices that help farmers adapt to drought. NRCS is taking applications for Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) to help producers build resiliency into their production systems so they can adapt to climatic extremes, such as the historic drought impacting the nation.

NRCS is offering the grants to partnering entities to evaluate innovative, field-based conservation technologies and approaches. These technologies and/or approaches should lead to improvements such as enhancing the waterholding capacity in soils and installing drought-tolerant grazing systems, which will help farms and ranches become more resilient to drought.

“Severe drought conditions across the U.S. have greatly impacted the livelihood of our farmers,” said NRCS Chief Dave White. “Conservation Innovation Grants allow us to generate and deploy as soon as possible cutting-edge ideas

ing current lean hog futures as a base. Tragically, costs of production are expected to be above $75 per live hundredweight for the remainder of the summer, this fall, and winter.

Losses per head this summer are estimated at $30, to be followed this fall by record quarterly losses of $60 per head. Losses in the first and second quarters of 2013 are projected to be $38 and $5 per head, respectively. Over this one year span, losses may average about $33 per head.

That means total losses of around $4 billion for the U.S. industry.

There is strong evidence that the initial wave of breeding herd reduction began in early August and has intensified. Sow slaughter data show that around 30,000 sows were liquidated in the month of August alone. This would represent a reduction of about 0.6 percent of the national sow herd in one month. This rate will continue, and perhaps even increase, if corn prices stay at current levels or move

higher. The breeding herd may decline by four to six percent in the six months from August 2012 through January 2013. The rate of liquidation is expected to slow sharply after this coming winter.

The dilemma for the industry is that the enormous losses are going to occur for pigs that are already born. Continued liquidation of sows will not reduce slaughter numbers until next summer and so does not address the short-term financial disaster.

Short of euthanizing young pigs, reduction of weights can reduce total pork supplies, use less feed, and enhance hog prices. The economics of reducing weights is largely related to packer buying programs. Generally it is not economic for producers to sell at lighter weights that receive a discount. Perhaps packers would consider lowering those threshold weights in this emergency. Producers should recognize that this could be costly to packers and to not expect one packer to do so unless all agreed.

CREATION STATION OFFERS

“ART FUELED BY IMAGINATION”

YOUR LIFE

BY THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS

rtist and musician Rick Huffman is finding a source of healing in his Creation Station, located at 606 B Main Street in New Harmony. Through his artistic creations, Huffman applies balm to his heart, still grieving the tragic loss of his wife in a horrific June 2006 motorcycle accident. The couple had dreamed of opening an art studio and shop together in retirement.

After nine years as a band director, Huffman had carved out a 30year career as an auto salesman for Toyota. The work rewarded him with numerous friends and stable finances, but did little to nurture his spirit.

“I knew I really needed to do something different,” he confides.

Within four years of losing his wife, he opened Creation Station in July 2010. The old gas pump replica out front marks the spot and thus builds on his slogan, “art fueled by imagination.”

The art studio and shop feature airbrushed clothing and accessories, dulcimers, glass etching, jewelry, paintings, pottery, sculptures, and stained glass. All items are the original creations of Huffman, his family and friends. The artists may work with a couple of mediums, but they each prefer one over the others.

Although Huffman teaches dulcimer classes, he relies on Bill Berg to hand craft dulcimers known for their great sound as well as their remarkable beauty. Huffman himself most enjoys glass etching even though he throws pottery, does all the airbrushing and dabbles in painting. An art teacher at Owensboro’s Burns Middle School, Huffman’s sister-in-law Ali provides most of the paintings, his daughter Elisabeth Klauburg creates the jewelry and his nephew Brent Wallace keeps the shop stocked in pottery. Sculptures are all hand crafted in fiber glass by Bob Zasadny of Oakland City. A retired Alcoan, Mark Roethemeier of Newburgh, shapes the stained glass.

Zoe, Huffman’s retired champion Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, greets customers and helps her master to show everyone around.

Huffman’s beginner level dulcimer classes have been well attended since Creation Station opened, with one student making the two-hour trip from Madisonville, Ky. A class just started last month, but more classes will be offered throughout the year.

For more information about dulcimer classes, interested individuals may call Huffman at 812-205-6781 or visit his website at creationstation606b.com.

“There’s something magical about New Harmony,” Huffman comments about making his home there. “It’s very soothing, very peaceful. “ He echoes the sentiments of a neighbor when he says, “You don’t choose New Harmony. New Harmony chooses you.”

‘Clash of the Titans’ lacks anticipated drama as Vikes soar

By Dave Pearce For the third week is a row, a North Posey football opponent found out Friday night just how tough the Viking defense can be.

In what had been billed as a classic earlyseason match-up between two neighboring teams, the billing never materialized as the Gibson Southern Titans were able to muster only 32 yards on the ground in Fort Branch and the Vikings (literally) ran away with a 31-7 victory.

The Vikings set the tone early as the Wes Harness, behind what has been so far an incredible offensive line, picked up yardage in chucks on his way to the Vikings’ first score at the 7:36 mark of the first period. The Titans had outscored Forest Park 56-10 in the season opener and then obliterated South Spencer the second week.

But the Vikings were stronger and more determined and it was evident. They also cut down on penalties but still finished with six penalties for 55 yards.

“We worked hard getting ready for this one,” North Posey Coach Joe Gengelbach said after the win. “Gibson is definitely headed in the right direction and we knew we had to do everything we could possibly do to bottle up Scheller and Anguish.”

And bottle them up they did. The talented Gibson Southern duo finished with a total of only 17 yards…combined. Scheller completed 7-of-16 passes for a total of 123 yards and a touchdown but was intercepted twice.

“”They are two kids, that if given a chance to get out on the perimeter or get a seam, they have the presence of mind to make some big plays,” Gengelbach said of the talented pair.

“I thought they made some plays that in most situations high school players don’t make but I was proud of our defense because for the most part, they stayed in their rush lanes and put some pressure on them and helped control their offense.”

Thanks to the Viking defense, the Titans did not get a lot of offensive opportunities.

The Vikings gave up a total of 155 yards of total offense while the offense was overwhelming, racking up 396 yards. The Vikings finished with 24 first downs to only six for the Titans.

“I think our defensive kids are playing together better as a team each week,” Gengelbach said. They are try8ing to do things they think will make us a better football team.”

The defense stepped up near the end of the first quarter when the Vikings fumbled on the 33 with one minute remaining in the period.

Immediately, the Viking defense stepped up and before the quarter ended, the Titans were facing a fourth-and-13 and faced a punt to begin the second period.

That punt led to another sustained drive by the Vikings which nearly stalled with the Vikings facing third-and-10 at the 8:30 mark.

But it would be Wes Harness who would Please see FOOTBALL, Page B3

Wildcats run low on early energy, eventually on quarterbacks

by David Koch

By Steve Joos Friday’s football game between Mount Vernon and the visiting Mount Carmel Aces was all offense in the first half and all defense in the second half.

And plenty of trouble for the home team.

The Wildcats fell behind 20-0 early in the game, missed two opportunities at the Mount Carmel goal line and had to use four signal callers over the course of the game.

That all adds up to a 38-19 defeat at the hands of the Illinoisans in the Big Eight conference opener for both schools and the Wild-

cats’ home opener.

“We dug ourselves a hole,” Coach Paul Maier said. “We didn’t play real well. We knew exactly what they were going to do; we practiced against it all week. They executed better offensively than we did defensively.”

The Aces are trying some new wrinkles offensively this season, moving from the option (which has been a trademark of the Mount Carmel offense for the past 20 years) to a spread defense utilizing the running game.

Maier said they looked OK in the season opener at Harrisburg and looked much better

against the Wildcats.

That didn’t bother the Cats as much as Mount Carmel’s execution of that offense, the coach said.

“They did a very nice job offensively of running the ball,” Maier said. “They ran the ball way better this week than they did (in a season’s-opening loss at Harrisburg) and that hurt us.”

Most of all, it hurt the Cats early—and often.

Starting on their own 36-yard line with just over eight minutes to play in the opening chapter, Mount Carmel moved downfield in less than two minutes, with Sam Wampler breaking away from 34 yards out for the first touchdown of the night. Quarterback Reece Metcalf connected with Caleb Kline for the Aces’ only successful two-point conversion try of the night and put them up 8-0 with 6:12 left in the first quarter.

That was plenty of time for them to put more points on the board.

After the Cats went three and out on their next possession, Mount Carmel’s Thomas Allen returned a punt 42 yards to the Wildcat 30-yard line. Five plays later, Wampler struck again, this time from nine yards out, making the score 14-0 with 3:29 left on the clock.

After again shutting down Mount Vernon and getting the ball back at the 50-yard line, what else did Mount Carmel have time for?

Why, another score, of course.

This time, Metcalf found Kline teamed up again for a 45-yard pass play, stretching the lead to 20-0 with a second left on the clock.

Austin Guthrie put Mount Vernon on the scoreboard by taking the ensuing kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown, but the Cats closed out the opening frame facing a 20-6 deficit.

Metcalf needed a mere 21 seconds to answer Guthrie’s return, getting through the defense and churning 75 yards for a touch-

down to open the second quarter. The junior signal-caller was a big reason for Mount Carmel’s success Friday, completing 14 of 23 passes for 300 yards and three touchdowns.

He also rushed for a team-high 89 yards and another score. Austin Thompson was Metcalf’s favorite target, hauling in seven passes for 150 yards and one of those scores, as the Aces racked up 497 yards worth of real estate in the evening, including 388 in the first half.

While Metcalf was giving the Wildcat defense fits, Mount Vernon was, well, trying to find a healthy quarterback.

Ethan VanZant started the game in place of Riley Snodgrass, who was injured in the team’s last series against North Posey. He went down in the third quarter and was replaced by River VanZant, who was hurt as the Cats were driving deep into Mount Carmel territory in the third chapter.

Receiver J.T. Silver (the team’s emergency signal-caller) got in a few snaps before being shaken up. Freshman Kaleb Grabert finished the night under center for Mount Vernon, whose quarterback corps went a combined six of 14 through the air for 73 yards.

“It’s like we’re snake-bitten at that position this year,” Maier said. “I think we’ve played five quarterbacks now in a varsity game.

We’ve got to get a little consistency there. We finished the night with a freshman at quarterback. He’s not ready yet. I don’t want to throw (Grabert) into the fire, so somebody’s got to play quarterback this week.”

Ethan VanZant was able to help the Cats make things a bit more respectable in the second quarter, scoring from five yards out to pull the Cats to within two touchdowns at 26-12 with 6:58 left in the second chapter, but then Metcalf matched that with a 77-yard strike to Thompson, which opened a 32-12 gap.

North Posey Vikings, from Page B2 break enough tackles to get the first down and then, on the next play from scrimmage, would take the ball in and give the Vikings a 14-0 lead at 5:10 of the second period.

But despite an impressive performance on both sides of the ball, the Vikings were ahead only 14-0 at half-time and Gengelbach assured his team that unless they continued to play well, there were no guarantees. His team took that advice to heart and put another 10 points on the board in the third period when kicker Nick Neidig hit a 24-yard field goal and Harness added a 2-yard touchdown run with a minute showing in the third period.

Neidig was also key in helping keep the Titans buried beneath the shadows of their own goalposts, leaving the Titans with a long field every time while the Vikings, in turn, averaged just over 10 yards for each of three punt returns to help give the Vikings a shorter field.

“That’s extremely important,” Gengelbach said. “Our specialty teams have put us in a position with a short field many times. And when you don’t have to go the full length of the field, your chances increase. These are high school kids and they are going to make mistakes. And the shorter the field and the less time you have the less number of plays you have to run, the better off you are.”

But to demonstrate the Viking dominance in this game, they ran 69 plays to Gibson Southern’s 36.

Colton Martin got in on the scoring on the first play of the fourth quarter when he got loose for a 33-yard run to put the game out of reach.

Gibson Southern did put a score on the board late in the game when quarterback Jordan Scheller hit Josh Elpers for a 51-yard strike with 1:29 to play to avert the shutout.

Even by Harness standards, the senior running back had a very good night, averaging nearly nine yards per carry on 29 attempts for a total of 250 yards. Martin finished with 75 yards on 10 carries while Darren O’Risky had four carries for 20 yards and quarterback Alec Werry kept the ball four times for 11 yards. Dylan Wright and James Marshall also saw some backfield action.

Werry was efficient and kept the Titan defense honest by hitting 7-of-13 passes for 45 yards.

Neidig caught three passes for 21 yards wg=hile Jacob Bender had two for 12 yards. Martin caught one pass for nine yards and Mitchell Kuhn caught a pass for three yards.

Neidig and Austin Little each recovered fumbles while Neidig and Darren O’Risky each had interceptions.

For the Titans, Scheller was 7-of-16 for 123 yards, including a touchdown and two interceptions. Spencer Schmitt caught three passes for 24 yards while Elpers caught two for 58 yards.

Brooks Martin had two receptions for 41 yards.

Scheller and Anguish finished with a total of 31 yards in 19 attempts. Austin Martin carried once for a yard.

This Friday night could go a long way toward determining who will have the best shot at Nick Neidig drives into Gibson Southern’s quarterback in an effort to make a stop dura Pocket Athletic Conference title as the Southridge Raiders come to town. They have been ing Friday night’s win over the Titans. There will be a lot on the line this week when the impressive in their first three outings, shutting out Forest Park 41-0 this week.

Gametime is set for 7 p.m. at North Posey’s Memorial Field.

Vikings host Southridge in a key PAC match-up. The game at Poseyville begins at 7 p.m.

Reserve Vikings pin 30-point fourth quarter on ‘Cats to win 43-42 The North Posey jayvee football game on Monday night at Mount Vernon started innocently enough with a small rain cloud sitting right over the field when the kickoff occurred at 6 p.m. Monday night. Little did anyone realize as a view drops threatened to make the evening a rain game, that the real thunder claps and lightning strikes would come in the third and fourth quarters.

As the rain receded and the night turned hot and muggy the game was tied 7 – 7 after the first quarter and 13 – 13 at halftime. The home-standing Wildcats put up 21 points in the third quarter, (and 8 in the fourth), while the visiting Vikings exploded for 30 in the fourth to win the game 43 – 42.

“I am still not sure how we won,” said JV coach Patrick Rose. “But I do know that our players never quit and refused to lose,” he added.

Mount Vernon Freshman Jim Peck put the Wildcats on the scoreboard first with an 11-yard run and Sophomore placekicker Zack Allyn added the extra point to go up 7 – 0 to begin the contest.

Sophomore running back Lance Inkenbrandt answered just 30 seconds later with a 74-yard run and Freshman quarterback and placekicker Preston Reese booted the PAT to tie the score at 7 – 7. In the second quarter the Wildcat Freshman quarterback Kaleb Grabert hit Freshman running back and receiver Gabe Adams for a 26-yard scoring strike to go up 13 – 7. (The PAT kick failed.) As time ran out in the half, the Vikings struck back on a 23-yard TD pass from Sophomore quarterback and receiver Aaron Droste to Junior receiver Thomas Stegall, who is playing in his first season of high school football. The Viking PAT attempt also failed with the halftime score knotted 13 – 13.

The third quarter scoring belonged to the Wildcats as they put 21 unanswered points on the scoreboard.

Mount Vernon’s scoreboard assault began on a nifty 85-yard kickoff return by Adams and a 2-poimt conversion pass from Grabert to Peck. Mount Vernon also scored on a 38-yard run by

Grabert and an Allyn PAT. The third period heroics ended for the Wildcats with Grabert hitting Adams on a 30-yard TD pass with Allyn adding yet another PAT. As the period ended Mount Vernon seemed to have an insurmountable lead 34 – 13. But, the Vikings had other ideas.

With 9:47 left in the game, Inkenbrandt scored on a 23-yard touchdown run and Jared Hostettler added a 2-point conversion catch on a pass from Freshman QB Reese. That cut the Wildcat lead to 34 – 21 and the Vikings seemed to have a chance. The visiting crowd seemed to moan audibly as Mount Vernon scored again this time on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Grabert to his favorite target, Adams.

The PAT pass from Grabert to sophomore Sam Carroll was good and the Wildcats now had a 42 – 21 lead, but the Vikings were still not finished. North Posey quarterback Reese then hit Sophomore receiver Drew Cumbee in the endzone on a short pass after the Vikings drove down the field with 4:34 left in the game. The PAT pass

was good with the score now 42 – 29 in favor of the Wildcats.

Miraculously, the Viking defense finally held and Inkenbrandt returned the ensuing punt 65-yards for another touchdown and when the PAT pass failed to score the Wildcats were still on top 42 – 35. Both North Posey JV coaches yelled to Inkenbrandt to let the punt go, but he opted to run it instead.

“I am sure glad he didn’t listen to either Coach Rose or me that time,” Coach Kuhn commented. The Vikings tried an onside kick and Freshman running back/ cornerback Cale O’Risky made on incredible play.

“Cale tackled the Mount Vernon receiver near the Mount Vernon 40-yard line, forced him to fumble, and recovered the ball,” Coach Rose said.

With Preston Reese at the drawing board, the Vikings engineered a drive that ended with Inkenbrandt’s final TD of the game, but North Posey was still down 42 – 41. On the final scoring play of the game, Reese handed the ball off to the sophomore

Wildcats, from Page B2 Guthrie (something of a bright spot for Mount Vernon with 97 rushing yards) scored what proved to be Mount Vernon’s last points of the night on a seven-yard run with 2:14 left in the second period. Michael Cannato’s extra point made the halftime score 32-19, but Mount Vernon got no closer as the defensive units took over after halftime.

Not that Mount Vernon didn’t have other chances to score.

The Cats were unable to take advantage of a firstquarter Mount Carmel fumble deep in Aces’ territory.

In the third quarter, the Wildcats were knocking at the door as the third quarter expired, but an interception in the end zone thwarted that drive.

“You’ve got to take advantage of (red zone opportunities),” Maier said. “We had two turnovers and didn’t get any points off of those turnovers. That will kill you every time.”

The Aces tried to bring the ball out instead of downing

it for a touchback and were forced to start their drive on the one-yard line—as if that seemed to matter.

Six plays later, Metcalf hooked up with Eli Lewis, who took the ball 69 yards for Mount Carmel’s last score of the night.

Despite the rough start, Maier felt that his team competed well and played better after a rough first quarter, never giving up despite the

deficit. That will be especially important against an improved Vincennes team (2-1 after a loss to Terre Haute North Friday).

And what will the Wildcats’ quarterback situation be at Vincennes?

“You might have to ask me Friday before the game,” Maier said, adding that somebody will have to go under center against the Alices.

There were two presentations prior to Friday’s home opener. Jace Redman was presented with a check from Kevin Schickel of Expressway Ford in Mount Vernon for the dealership’s matching donation to the recent “Miles for MV” fundraiser for the school’s athletic department, while senior girls’ soccer player Kate Cox was recognized for scoring her 100th career goal.

running back again who scampered into the endzone for a 2-point conversion run and more importantly, a onepoint lead at 43 – 42. Mount Vernon took the ball with about 40 seconds left in the game, but was intercepted by safety Aaron Droste who did a hook slide to secure the ball. Reese took a knee and the Vikings had done something incredible.

“I can’t say enough about our team,” gushed Coach Mike Kuhn. “They just never gave up,” he added.

Leading the defensive effort were: Dallas Glover with six tackles two assists,

one blocked punt, two sacks and two tackles for losses; Drew Cumbee with four tackles and an assist, Bailey Porter, Dusty Graulich, Derek Lindauer all with three tackles apiece, Zack Wargel with two tackles, one assist and two tackles for losses.

Lindauer and Inkenbrandt (two tackles, one assist) each had a deflection, Aaron Droste one tackle and one “very big” interception.

The Vikings are next in action on Tuesday, September 4 at home versus the Gibson Southern Titans. The North Posey jayvee is 2 – 0 for the season.

Kate Cox scores 100th goal but Wildcats fail to find a win

By Steve Joos The highlight of the week for the Mount Vernon girls’ soccer team may have been off the field, about a game prior to last week.

Kate Cox was honored at Friday’s Mount Vernon football home opener for recently scoring her 100th career goal.

The senior striker for the Lady Wildcat girls’ soccer team reached the milestone in a recent win over Evansville Day School, while wrapping up one of the more prolific scoring careers in the history of the Mount Vernon soccer program.

She scored 35 goals as a freshman, helping Mount Vernon to a win in the Evansville Sectional, then followed that up with 31 her sophomore year and 27 in her junior campaign.

Unfortunately for Cox and the Lady Cats, that offense wasn’t present Tuesday in Evansville.

The week got off to a rough start for the Lady Wildcats as they were routed at Reitz Tuesday 11-0.

Hayley Hancock scored three goals for the Lady Panthers, while Fae Wertjes, Hayley Reuter and Devin Austin each put in two.

Brittany Johnston had three assists, while Mikayla Williams helped out with two.

Lady Cats beat Jasper, are 8-2

By Steve Joos Okay, but can they do this in October?

The Mount Vernon volleyball team returned to the site of a heartbreaking 2011 regional loss Tuesday night and this time left with a win, as they defeated homestanding Jasper 25-18, 16-25, 25-22, 25-21.

And just what did Lady Wildcats’ coach Andi Allford think of her team’s win?

“Yay,” Allford said. “A lot goes into the Jasper games. They’re in our conference.

They’re the team that took us out in Regionals last year, so we came out very focused.

They had some errors; it’s early in their season and early in our season. They made some mistakes that we can learn from, but overall I was very pleased with the way they played.”

There were times when Mount Vernon had some mental breakdowns and some missed shots that one player or another could have easily taken. Those were what Allford called “early season mistakes” and the kind of miscues that can be alleviated with time.

Megan Martin registered two aces and helped out with 39 assists as Mount Vernon pulled out a pair of close wins in the third and fourth sets for the clutch Big Eight Conference victory.

“Megan is the heart of our team,” Allford said. “She is the quarterback. She touches nearly every play and she can take a bad or Mount Vernon junior Shelby Ritzert hits this ball over the Reitz blockers during a good pass and make a set out of it and then this week’s home match. The Lady Cats easily took three sets from the Panthers and our setters maker her look good. It’s definitely a team sport, but without Megan, it continue to improve their record. Photo by Dave Koch would be a different story.”

Allford was quick to add that the entire Great service at a great price... win in both matches was a team effort, saying that if one aspect of the game breaks down, the entire attack is jeopardized.

Livia Hopper blocked two volleys, while she and Jacey Ritzert each registered 15

kills. Lauren Stemple came up with 17 digs.

The news wasn’t as good for the reserves, as they dropped 25-4, 25-15 decision in the preliminary.

The Lady Cats stretched their record to 8-2 Thursday night by blowing through the visiting Reitz Lady Panthers 25-13, 25-12, 25-10.

“They struggled to be strong for the whole game,” Allford said. “And they did a very good job of that (against Reitz).”

The Lady Cats took control of the match early and stayed focused throughout all three sets, the coach said, adding that the team kept its composure throughout the contest.

“They played like a team,” Allford said.

“It wasn’t a roller coaster. They came out fired up and stayed fired up until they end of the game. They played like athletes and I was happy with that.”

Martin served five aces and registered 38 assists, while those Ritzert girls were at it in a big way. Jacey Ritzert put down 14 kills, while Shelby Ritzert had a block. Sarah Duckworth came up with 17 digs.

The reserve Lady Cats had more trouble, falling in the preliminary 25-22, 25-21.

The Lady Wildcats came out of the week with an 8-2 season record and showed improvement over the first week of their recent matches against Central and at the New Albany Invitational tournament.

“I was very happy with how we played at New Albany,” the coach said. “But they’re making a choice right now on how they want to play. (Against Reitz and Jasper) they decided to play their game no matter what the other team was doing.”

Staying focused and playing strong were the main things Allford hoped her team would take from last week, adding that they team is showing its experience.

‘Cats pick up win, fall to ‘mighty’ Hatchets

By Steve Joos The news wasn’t all bad for the Mount Vernon boys’ soccer team last week.

The Wildcats picked up a win last week when North was forced to forfeit their season opener with the Cats due to having an ineligible player on the field. That changed an 8-1 Huskie blowout into a 1-0 Mount Vernon win.

“It’s a win,” Wildcats’ coach Travis Kaiser shrugged. “We’ll take it any way we can.”

The forfeit took some of the edge off a week where the Cats were shut out three times, losing at Jasper 6-0 at home to Washington Tuesday 17-0 and 2-0 at

Central on Thursday.

The defense played better on Thursday, but the offense was still absent as Central blanked the visiting Wildcats 2-0.

Brandon Schu scored one goal and assisted on another to lead the Bears past the Cats.

“With Jasper and Washington, I don’t know if we were nervous or what it was,” Kaiser said. “We’re young and we may have been a little nervous.

Against Central, we played three or four times better than we did against Jasper and Washington.”

The defense has shown a great deal of improvement over the course of the season and the midfielders did

a much better job of getting back on defense against the Bears, according to the coach.

But Central scored early to take a 1-0 lead that lasted through halftime and up until the last seconds of the game, when the Bears added an insurance tally.

The defense was improved, but the offense obviously (the third straight shutout) still needs a little work, according to Kaiser.

“We need to talk a little more and we’ve struggled passing the ball,” Kaiser explained. “We’re still working on this and it will take a little time, but we will get better by Sectional time.”

If this is Austin, well, they may have scored on

Mount Vernon again, as Austin (or more accurately, “Austins”) made things rough for the home team Tuesday night.

Austin Ghirardelli scored three goals, while Austin Bush added two more goals and three assists as the visiting Washington Hatchets chopped up the Wildcats 17-0.

Francisco Rodriquez added another three goals and two more assists, while Cullen Arnold voted in a pair of scores as the Hatchets opened a 9-0 halftime lead and never looked back.

Once again, the opposition scored in the early going against Mount Vernon and in this instance, never let up, according to Kaiser.

Walking the line...

Lady Vikings continue to improve

By Steve Joos A work in progress that’s getting better each time out.

That’s one way to sum up the start of the season for the North Posey girls’ golf team.

“The girls are making progress,” Coach Kevin Wassmer said. “”We expect that to continue as the season goes on.”

The Lady Vikings have a mix of newcomers and veterans on this year’s squad and they have been making strides early in the season, according to the coach.

“I like this group,” Wassmer said.

“They’re working hard and trying to get better.”

Each member of the team has something different that they need to work on.

Maggie Camp, for instance, needs to work on her course management, while Maddie Koester has to be more consistent on the greens.

Kendall Crowder’s putting has to get better and Shelby Ackerman needs to get better on drives. Taylor Patton rounds out the returning players, and she has to make sure that her short game picks up.

There are three rookies on this year’s team, including junior Lauren Gibbs and a pair of sophomores, Madison Werry and Jaylen Wassmer (the coach’s daughter).

“We’re encouraged by the way we’ve been playing in the early going and hopeful that they can continue to improve.”

Koester really picked things up recently at Huntingburg, as the Lady Vikings shot a 174 to win a triangular over Southridge (181) and Gibson Southern (190), shooting a 39 to pace the Lady Vikings.

Camp fashioned a 40, Patton a 42 and Crowder a 53 to round out the Lady Viking foursome.

North Posey was fourth in the recent Vincennes Rivet Invitational with a score of 333.

The Lady Vikings recently rewarded Wassmer for winning his tenth Evansville Courier and Press Men’s City Golf Championship by giving him a 178-221 win over North Knox to savor at the Cambridge Golf Course.

Camp’s 38 earned medalist honors for the Lady Vikings, while Koester shot a 42, giving North Posey two golfers who finished ahead of the number one Lady Spartan, Lauren Primus, who shot a 43.

Crowder’s 46 and Patton’s 52 rounded out the Lady Viking foursome. Ackerman shot a 66 for North Posey as the Lady Vikings went into an extended 10-day break on a winning note.

NOTICE OF REAL PROPERTY TAX SALE Posey County Indiana Beginning 10:00:00 AM, 10/3/2012 Hovey House, Commissioners Room Local Time Posey County Pursuant to the laws of the Indiana General Assembly, notice is hereby given that the following described property is listed for sale for delinquent taxes and/or special assessments. The county auditor and county treasurer will apply on or after 9/14/2012 for a court judgment against the tracts or real property for an amount that is not less than the amount set out below and for an order to sell the tracts or real property at public auction to the highest bidder, subject to the right of redemption. Any defense to the application for judgment must be filed with the Posey County Circuit Court and served on the county auditor and treasurer before 9/14/2012. The court will set a date for a hearing at least seven (7) days before the advertised date of sale and the court will determine any defenses to the application for judgment at the hearing. The county auditor and the county treasurer are entitled to receive all pleadings, motions, petitions, and other filings related to the defense to the application for judgment.

Such sale will be held on 10/3/2012 at the Hovey House, Commissioners Room and that sale will continue until all tracts and real property have been offered for sale.

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

In addition, IC 6-1.1-25-2 (e) states the total amount required for redemption may include the following costs incurred and paid by the purchaser or the purchaser’s assignee or the county before redemption: (1) The attorney’s fees and cost of giving notice under IC 6-1.1-25-4.5. (2) The costs of title search or examining and update the abstract of title for the tract or item of real property. The period of redemption shall expire on Thursday, October 03, 2013 for an initial offering. The period of redemption may expire Thursday, January 31, 2013 for certificates not sold.

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

The Auditor and Treasurer specifically reserve the right to withhold from the sale any parcel which has been listed in error, or which otherwise becomes ineligible for sale either prior to 10/3/2012 or during the duration of the sale.

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

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

He is to receive training on the the first trooper to represent ARIDE program. “Having the Indiana State Police at our troopers better trained this national conference. and educated in detecting To better recognize and ar- impaired drivers will only

reduce the number of people killed and injured on our roadways,” said Whitesell.

The Indiana State Police Training Division expects to have all troopers trained by the Thanksgiving holiday.

An Indiana State Police Recruit Academy is currently in operation and will be the first academy class to receive the ARIDE training in addition to Standard Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) during their 24 week training.

Currently, there are two separate programs to help law enforcement officers evaluate suspected impaired drivers. The Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) program is provided to every Indiana State Trooper.

This program assists officers in identifying and assessing drivers suspected of being under the influence of alcohol. The Drug Evaluation and Classification (DEC)

program provides more advanced training to evaluate suspected drug impairment.

The Indiana State Police have five Drug Recognition Experts (DRE’s) throughout the state. The DRE’s have additional responsibilities of instructing the ARIDE program. The SFST assessment is typically employed at the roadside, while an officer trained as a drug recognition expert through the DEC program conducts a drug evaluation in a more controlled environment such as a detention center. The ARIDE program is valuable because it bridges the gap between the Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) and the Drug Evaluation and Classification (DEC) program by training law enforcement officers to observe, identify and articulate the signs of impairment related to drugs, alcohol or combination of both.

Sobriety checkpoint conducted on SR 261 at Vann Road Sunday evening, September 2, Indiana State Police and Warrick County Sheriff’s Office conducted a sobriety checkpoint on SR 261 at Vann Road near Castle High School. Between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., officers checked 80 drivers that passed through the checkpoint and didn’t find any impaired drivers. Three drivers were administered field sobriety tests and passed. Troopers also issued two traffic tickets and three warnings.

Indiana State Police will be conducting another sobriety checkpoint Monday night in Warrick County. The exact location or time will not be released. Motorists that are not impaired can expect only short delays of 2-3 minutes while passing through a checkpoint.

Retired postal carrier Dan Horstman still delivers packages of goodwill St. Philip native Dan Horstman retired three years ago at age 65 after 43 years as a postal carrier. Yet, he still delivers enthusiasm and energy in all his efforts as volunteer Building and Grounds Coordinator at St. Philip School and St. Philip Church, his parish since birth.

The 1962 Mater Dei graduate joined

the Army right out of high school, but the day he finished his service in March 1963, he took the test to become a postal carrier. By August, he was put on a 13mile walking route with 600 stops in Evansville. He walked that route for 20 years before he received a truck to negotiate a different 45-mile route in the city.

He drove that route for the next 23 years.

On the driving route, he earned the name “Dan the Mailman” from the students at Resurrection School, and the name stuck. Kids loved him because he took the time to greet them and to accept their invitation to take his lunch break with them daily.

This same love for kids motivates Horstman in his untiring work for St. Philip parish today.

He opens all the church and school buildings every morning and checks out the air conditioning or the heat to make sure everyone will work comfortably that day. Whenever he sees something needs to be done, he does it, but it doesn’t stop him from paying attention to the kids. He pauses while he talks, and he waves and calls the names of students walking by the office.

“I like to be around the teachers, staff and students,” he says.

“We’re one big family.”

He’s a natural caregiver and organizer. Several years ago when he heard how much the church paid for mowing, he started mowing the grounds himself without pay. The idea caught on until

today five crews rotate taking care of the grounds with three riding, multiple walking mowers and weedeaters. Likewise, he spearheaded the building of the school gymnasium back in 1985.

He reflects on the generosity of St. Philip parishioners to donate materials and labor to a wide variety of projects.

He says that the parish is fortunate to have skilled tradesmen in all professions willing to help out wherever needed.

Horstman has been an avid bowler for over 45 years, including play in an Army league. His family has helped to organize leagues at Franklin Lanes and now plays for sponsor Career Associates. In addition, his neighbors look forward to his annual “road party,” like a block party, only bigger. He and Rosemarie didn’t want to limit company to the neighbors living closest to them, so they decided to ask all neighbors on their road to socialize with them.

Although both Horstman and his wife Rosemarie, a Westsider, graduated from Mater Dei, they formed a relationship at their Catholic Young People’s Club, or CYPC, for high school graduates. The couple celebrated 44 years of marriage this past June 1. They have been blessed with one son, Jeff, and one daughter, Joanna, and five grandsons.

American Legion Owen Dunn Post #5 in Mount Vernon received a king size Crown Royal quilt from Piece by Peace Quilt Guild in New Haven, Ill., on Thursday afternoon, August 30. Pictured L to R are Owen Dunn Post #5 Commander Dale Rickert, Piece by Peace members Jo Allen and Linda Johnson, and Owen Dunn Post #5 Adjutant Don Oeth. The quilt guild donated the beautiful needlework to Owen Dunn because "their veterans do so much to help other veterans at this American Legion."

Only 1,200 raffle tickets will be sold until November 10, Veterans Day, at a cost of $5 each or 5 for $20. Proceeds will be used for the post's Honor Guard as well as building maintenance. In addition, members of the post are selling only 3,000 raffle tickets, again until November 10, for a chance at $10,000, $5,000 and 15 $1,000 prizes at a cost of $20 each or 3 for $50.
