Under the Beams finale is Saturday evening Special to the Posey County News The final concert of the 2012 Under the Beams season will be held on April 14, 2012. Karrin Allyson - Grammy nominated singer, songwriter, pianist, composer and bandleader, Karrin Allyson, sings with heart, intelligence, and musical sophistication. She honors the great traditions of blues, jazz, and roots, and embraces French and Brazilian rhythms.

Allyson’s diction is flawless, her phrasing conversational, her tempo swinging, and her improvisation teeming with scat and vocalese. After recording more than a dozen critically lauded albums, performing in cities from Seattle to Paris, and being compared to such jazz legends as Ella Fitzgerald and Shirley Horn, Allyson has emerged as a pivotal force in the international, contemporary jazz scene.

Karrin lives in New York City, following a childhood in the midwest, schooling in the Bay Area, a degree in classical piano performance and important stints in Minneapolis and Kansas City, where she began her recording career with Concord Jazz. Karrin currently spends two days out of three on tour, playing the major jazz festivals, concert venues and clubs of the U.S. and making repeated tours overseas — to Brazil, Japan, Australia and the great cities of Europe.

Among musicians, Karrin is known as a great bandleader and one of the great pleasures of the current scene is listening to her highly developed interplay with her bandmates — it sounds so effortless — but it conceals the deep musical sophistication. This is one of Allyson’s great achievements — the result of working for more than a decade with an ensemble of fearless and powerfully committed jazz virtuosi.

Again, tickets for this show are being filled as seats become available.

Please call (812)682-3128 to be on the waiting list. Individual tickets are Adult-$28, Student-$15. For more information, visit www.underthebeams .org or the Under the Beams Facebook page.

You are invited to join Under the Beams as the organization continues to bring the world to our stage featuring some of the finest performing groups found across the globe. All concerts are held in New Harmony’s Rapp-Owen Granary on Saturday evenings beginning at 8 p.m. A waiting list for tickets is being formed and filled for the upcoming, sold-out, Under the Beams concert featuring jazz pianist and vocalist, Karrin AlGrammy nominated singer, songwriter, pianist, composer and lyson.

Courthouse tree trim results in ‘death sentence’

By Valerie Werkmeister A self-taught arborist expressed his frustration and outrage to the Posey County Commissioners over the way trees at the Posey County Courthouse have been “topped and tipped” during a recent trimming.

He addressed the commissioners during their April 3, meeting.

“This is really a death sentence for a tree, “ Grey Meyer said.

In February, the commissioners approved a $2.400 bid from Wabash Valley Tree Service to trim the trees at the courthouse. According to Meyer, the manner in which they trimmed the trees by “topping and tipping” the trees will cause them to slowly die over the next five to

Azalea sale is April 21 An azalea sale will be held on Saturday, April 21 from 1 until 4 p.m. at the Mount Vernon Riverfront. Three colors will be available, Hotshot (red/orange), Gerard Rose (Pink) and Karen (lavender/pink.

One gallon azaleas are $10 each or three for $25. The event is sponsored by the Mount Vernon Branch of the Southwest Indiana Azalea Trail.

Angelus to perform Angelus, from the Mount Vernon Senior High School Fine Arts Academy, will sing for 5 p.m. mass at the Cathedral Basilica St. Louis (St. Louis, Mo.) on Sunday, April 15.

Performing a prelude, offertory, communion and postlude, the ensemble will sing six to eight works. By request of the Basilica, guest ensembles may only sing a cappella or with organ.

Built between 1907 and 1914, the Basilica is an example of Neo-Byzantine architecture.

It was designated a Basilica in 1997 by Pope John Paul II. It contains one of the largest collections of mosaics in the world.

Angelus was formed in 2008 and has performed concerts in New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, San Francisco and Chicago. On April 28, they will sing at the Victory Theatre prior to the Evansville Philharmonic’s evening concert.

the past 33 years to education.

Kyle Jones has remained dedicated to the MSD of Mount Vernon for his entire 24-year career. In August 1988, he started as a math teacher at the junior high, advancing there to chairman of the department. He became interim assistant principal at the junior high in November 2006 before his appointment to the position in July 2007.

Jones has been well-known to students as a coach as well. At the high school, he was known for his work as head wrestling coach for 11 years and leading a state champion in 2004. He was even better known as the assistant football coach at the high school for 23 years.

Russell succeeds retiring high school principal Steve Riordan while Jones steps up for retiring

10 years. He would like to formulate a plan that will never allow trees to be trimmed in this way. He would like the county and city officials to provide a good example for the community on the way trees should be cared for. In addition, he would like to have new tulip trees planted that will eventually replace the trees that will slowly begin to die.

The commissioners agreed to look at his proposal when it has been completed.

Building commissioner, Ed Battieger, updated commissioners on the status of a nuisance complaint at 2340 Old Evansville Road. He stated that all the debris has been

cleared and the work has been completed. They were pleased to hear that the matter could be closed.

The commissioners approved a request by Charles Chambliss to purchase a new server from Manatron at a cost of $18,846.

Commissioners are still seeking an interested resident to represent Robinson Township by serving on the Wadesville-Blairsville Regional Sewer District. This board is tasked with the goal of providing a sanitary sewer system to replace residents’ septic systems that are failing in the Wadesville and Blairsville area.

“This is a way to get involved in the community,” commissioner Jim

Alsop said.

Highway Superintendent Steve Schenk reviewed asphalt bids and presented his recommendations to the commissioners for their acceptance. JH Rudolph was the low bidder for chip and seal. E&B Paving was chosen as the back-up supplier.

The bid for cold mix/hot mix for patching was awarded to all three bidders: JH Rudolphn E&B Paving and Metzger Construction. Jerry David was awarded the bid for hot mix patching. Metzger Construction received the recommendation for 80/90. Schenk recommended JH Rudolph’s firm and escalating

Big changes coming at Harmonie Haus Cinema The owners and management of Harmonie Haus Cinema is grateful for the support of the movie theater here in New Harmony. Over the past several years, the group has remained committed to maintaining this entertainment venue for our community. We love this small town and our surrounding locale.

Unfortunately, according to the management, the cinema has operated at a loss every year since first opening in 2003. The patronage of the local community, while much appreciated, has proven to be not enough to allow the theater to come even close to covering costs in its current operating format.

We are a small community, and have a limited market to draw from. Attendance trends at small

cinemas across the nation have steadily declined over the past decade. On-demand DVD services, internet-streamed videos in the home, flat screen TVs, PDA devices and changing consumer consumption of personal entertainment have all radically transformed in the last few years.

Simply stated, fewer people are going out to see movies. These macro trends, coupled with a slowing economy and our small, rural market, have resulted in Harmonie Haus Cinema realizing a continued decline in attendance.

The owners have covered these losses each year, and continued to keep the facility open in spite of the operation’s financial shortcomings. However, the past few years have been far worse than

the prior years, with the losses growing much higher than ever before. While some changes have been made in an attempt to reduce the losses (such as reducing the number of viewings per week and forgoing showing movies during the first week release date), these attempts simply have not been enough to turn the tide.

However, the group wants to find a way to continue offering cinema entertainment to the community – an offering that is both enjoyable for patrons and sustainable economically.

“We think having a cinema is a great asset for New Harmony, and we’re not giving up. As a result, we will be closed temporarily, from April 2 through April 20, for retooling and cleaning, Harmonie

THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS • SERVING THE COUNTY SINCE 1882 • WWW.POSEYCOUNTYNEWS.COM

OPINION Guest Editorial: The Rev. James M. Snyder Whenever I am out in public, I try conducting myself with the greatest of care knowing that people are watching. The thing that bothers me the most is that many people have never mastered the fine art of how to dress in public.

Some people have never been taught how to dress, let alone how to dress in public.

Whenever I go to the mall, and believe me it is as seldom as possible, I cannot help noticing some of these people.

What I cannot understand is why young men wear pants too big for them and young women wear pants too small for them. Perhaps we ought to get a little group together and try to reverse this trend. Somebody got the wrong information.

I was in the mall the other day and noticed several young men in front of me with trousers several sizes too big and were constantly fall-

ing down. One hand was grabbing their trousers while the other hand was hanging onto a cell phone.

I wanted to go up and tell them that there is this marvelous new invention called “The Belt” that would solve the problem that they were having. Once they have “The Belt,” they can put it on and forget about their trousers falling down to their ankles. If there is anything I do not want to see it is somebody’s trouser falling down to their ankles.

Criticize me if you want to, but I simply cannot not follow these young men walking down the mall. By the time I go the space of three stores, I am a nervous wreck wondering when those trousers are actually going to fall.

Young women are no different. It seems to me that most young women purchase their entire wardrobe when they are in the first grade.

At that time, the clothing fits very nicely.

By the time these young women hit the 10th grade, those first-grade clothing are not only out of style, but fit no more. Where are their mothers?

I know the economy is bad, but really, is it so bad that people cannot afford to upgrade their wardrobe, as they get older and consequently bigger? Shouldn’t there be some sale on mirrors these days?

If I were a congressman in Washington DC, I would work very hard to pass a bill that would make it illegal to walk out of your house on any given morning without first looking into the mirror to see if everything is covered. That is the kind of change I can believe in.

As I get older, it gets more difficult to conduct myself as a gentleman because there is so much I do not want to see.

Last week I had to return an item to a store and was unprepared for what I was to encounter. I assumed I was well prepared for the day.

I went through the normal routine of exercising my eyes to look upward. I try my best when I am out in public to look into the eyes of people, especially those of the gentler sex.

This particular day I had really met my match.

I stood in line waiting to return my item and I was not thinking too much about the process. I was humming to myself some hymn that was on my mind at the time and was not paying attention to the surroundings. As I say, I trained my eyes to look upward when I am out in public.

Eventually, it was my turn to go to the counter and return the item. I walked up and was aghast. I said to myself, “Look at the

eyes, look at the eyes, look at the eyes.” For some reason my eyes were not paying any attention whatsoever. All those years of training seem to have gone out the window.

My eyes were in a staring mode and I did not know how to break it.

It really is not my fault; I think people should take personal responsibility for their person when they go out in public. They should make sure that everything is prim and proper because you never know what you are going to run into in any given day.

For a moment, I had forgotten what I was at the counter for, I tried to shift my eyes into a higher level and it was all I could do to communicate what I needed to communicate at the time.

But my eyes, oh, my eyes. They certainly were not helping me in this regard.

I might as well come clean and confess.

As I walked up to the counter to return my item I could not help but notice that the woman behind the counter was wearing, and you will not believe me, a beard. Yes, I said a beard, whiskers and all. I could not believe it at first. I thought maybe my eyes were trying to get back at me for being so harsh on them the last few months.

But no, there in full view of everybody, including my pair of eyes, was a woman with a beard any man would have been proud to wear.

All I could think of at the time was what Job said. “I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?” (Job 31:1 KJV).

My motto: be careful little eyes where you stare.

Guest Column: Wendy McNamara Getting INShape in our backyard

Taking pride in our azelea city Mount Vernon cannot claim the official designation – yet – as “Azalea City,” but the azaleas don’t know it.

Around the downtown square and along the riverfront, azaleas have reached their peak and show off fully opened blooms—white and pink and red and lavender. Many homes showcase azaleas in their yards also. Even the casual observer will notice the bright blossoms in the historic residential district as well as the subdivisions.

Azaleas are the fleur du jour in Mount Vernon.

The nine volunteer members of the azalea committee believe our fair city will soon receive the official designation, “Azalea City.”

Certainly, the committee deserves our thanks and gratitude for helping to dress up our city to rival those old azalea capitols down South.

In 2010, not only did members gather enough donations to plant 100 azaleas in Mount Vernon, but they also earned a Connect Southern Indiana grant to plant 200 more.

Eventually, they hope to create an azalea path within the city limits, complete with distance markers, for

Gavel Gamut’s Two of my friends were discussing my most recent skiing injury. My third friend relayed the gist to me. It went something like what follows: “Did you hear Jim was in the hospital in Steamboat Springs, Colorado for two weeks with a broken finger? A broken finger! Yeah, he had Peg stay there with him the whole time then she drove him home. He claimed he needed help getting in and out of the car.

Wait a minute. Didn’t Peg break her leg skiing in Utah and she skied on down the mountain by herself, then flew home? I think she may have even carried Jim’s skis.

And what about Shun Fujimoto, the Olympic gymnast from Japan, who in the 1976 Olympics helped his team win the gold medal when he made a perfect landing on a broken ankle?

I don’t recall him being carried away on a sled as Jim was with his broken finger.

As for skiers and broken

walkers and runners to enjoy as they exercise. The path would wind from the riverfront through the historic district and back out

LIVING FOR THE JOURNEY

BY PAM ROBINSON on Main, heading north— past First United Methodist Church and ending near First Baptist Church. Beyond that, plans include connecting to an azalea trail leading to the University of Southern Indiana and participating in an “Azalea Blossom Festival” for Posey County in conjunction with neighboring Vanderburgh and Gibson counties. Of course, such dreams require funding to become reality.

Fortunately, most of us can help the azalea committee realize its dreams for the city while putting a fresh face, if you will, on our own yards – and for a lot less than the cost of a Botox injection. On Saturday, April 21, from 1 to 4 p.m., the committee is hosting an azalea sale at the

Mount Vernon riverfront, junction of Main and Water streets. The Dixieland Band will entertain customers with lively music while they make up their minds about which color azalea to buy.

Three colors of azalea will be available in one-gallon containers: “Hot Shot,” red/orange; “Gerard Rose,” pink; “Karen,” lavender/ pink. Cost is only $10 per azalea, or – better yet - $25 for three azaleas, mix or match. With the purchase of three azaleas, customers will receive a free admission to “The Azalea Path” located in Pike County.

Our participation in the sale provides a relatively inexpensive way to claim our social responsibility and contribute to the beauty of our community, not to mention our homes.

The sale presents a win-win situation for everyone.

The azalea committee is offering a simple way for us to keep the pride in Posey County. We can let our true colors come shining through Saturday, April 21, with the purchase of an azalea. We’ll be doing our part so we can hang onto our momentum in the revitalization of Mount Vernon.

Southwest Indiana is filled with great parks, trails and outdoor recreational facilities. These are vital to have in a community and help residents keep active and stay healthy.

The State of Indiana knows the importance of staying healthy. A few years ago, INShape Indiana was launched, a program designed to provide the groundwork for a personal or organizational fitness initiative. The program works to educate, motivate and connect Hoosiers to valuable resources that help them eat better and become more active.

The INShape Indiana website, www.inshapeindiana.org, is a great resource for those looking to get healthy or even those just looking for some new recipes. For additional information on INShape Indiana contact the Governor’s Council for Physical Fitness and Sports by calling 800-

433-0746 or by email at help@inshape.in.gov.

This type of health initiative is especially important for our state, because in a recent study, Indiana was named the 15th most obese state in the country. Posey County is faring better than the majority of the state, ranked 14th out of the 92 counties for overall health by the Indiana State Department of Health. While the health of Posey County is relatively healthy, we can always do more to improve our health. We are lucky that our community is filled trails and parks for residents to exercise.

The Pigeon Creek Greenway Passage is a great place.

This multi-use trail follows along parts of the Ohio River and Pigeon Creek. The trail features scenic resting areas and interesting sculptures, with access to parks, neighborhoods and city attractions.

There is also the Burdette

Park-USI, Bicycle and Nature Trail. In 2008, this trail was created to link Burdette Park in Evansville with the University of Southern Indiana. This extension has been wonderful and now people have access to many more miles of trails.

We also have Harmonie State Park, which is located on the bank of the Wabash.

This park has an abundance of walking, biking and nature trails as well as shady picnic areas, ravines and beautiful landscapes. This is truly a treasure of Posey County.

I encourage everyone to take advantage of the wonderful trails we have in our community. Spring is here and now is a great time to get outside and enjoy the weather and get fit at the same time. By making small changes in our diet and adding in exercise to our lives, we will all be healthier and make our state a healthier place to live.

The Mount Vernon School Board will meet again Monday, April 16, 2012, at 5:45 p.m. in the junior high media center.

We’ve been asked…

“What happens if I prefund my funeral and prices go up?”

Just like anything else, funeral prices will increase over time.

However, one of the most compelling reasons to prearrange with our firm is that we offer advance funeral planning options that grow over time to offset inflation.

That’s the kind of assurance you can count on from a family-owned funeral home.

The Mount Vernon Senior High School Fine Arts Academy will host an Open House on Thursday, April 26 at 6:30 p.m.

The Fine Arts Academy at Mount Vernon Senior High School is comprised of award winning students and faculty in music, theatre and the visual arts. A commitment to academic excellence and a belief that through the arts, students find lifelong fulfillment is at the core of our teaching philosophy.

Students are provided opportunities in instrumental and vocal music, musical theatre, acting, technical theatre and traditional and digital visual arts. The Fine Arts Academy provides over forty events each year to further student’s skills and artistic talents.

Events for this academic year have included a “Theatrical Rigging Workshop” for school theatres presented by nationally recognized rigging expert Bill Sapsis,

to adopt a resolution to assign a tax sale certificate on abandoned properties with delinquent taxes. The county is preparing for a tax sale on May 22. City of Mount Vernon officials are interested in six of these properties that have been off the tax rolls for some time. Van Haaften stated, the county can’t just give these properties to the city. However, tax sale laws dictate a way the land can be transferred. Once the resolution is adopted, they will also develop terms and conditions on how to distribute any funds that is available after the sale.

Both the county and the city have incurred costs while mowing or

cleaning up these properties. The county has lost valuable tax revenue.

Any funds that can be put toward that debt would be beneficial.

The resolution was tabled until the April 17, meeting to give the commissioners time to confer with Mount Vernon city officials.

John Taylor requested a letter of support from the commissioners to the Vanderburgh County Commissioners for the extension of University Parkway from Diamond Avenue to Interstate 64. The commissioners agreed to send the letter.

The next regular meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 17, at 9 a.m. in the Hovey House.

OBITUARIES CONTINUED...

Wanda Lee (Crowe) Gates On June 16, 2010, Wanda Gates walked through Heavens gates and into the arms of her Savior, Jesus Christ. She passed from this life at the Chariton Methodist Hospital in Dallas, Texas after a short illness. Her body was cremated and is now being returned to her birth state of Indiana for memorial services and interment Wanda was bom in Mount Vernon, Indiana to Owen and Bertha (Ashworth) Crowe on December 29, 1927.

She attended Hedges Central Grade School and graduated from Mount Vernon High School, where she was very active in the Footlight Performers and had the lead in several plays and musical productions there. She was a majorette of the marching band and played clarinet in the concert band throughout her high school years.

After graduation, Wanda became a hair dresser and worked several years in the Deaconess Hospital Beauty Shop.

She loved to travel the country with her sister, Peggy, and saw many of the national monuments throughout the land. Her favorite trip with Peggy was to Hawaii.

Wanda was known for her generous and giving nature. She loved to cook and bake and share her products with someone. In Texas, she was able to put her talents to work by helping her son, Mark, in his ministry, Rays of Hopa Over the years, they fed thousands of homeless and helpless street people of the Dallas area and the squatters, landfill pickers and poorest of the poor of Mexico. She became a loving Grandma to thousands of children that came to Mark and Anh’s home and stayed, some for days, others for weeks, months and years as well as adults who stayed as they worked to turn their lives around.

Wanda was active in the churches she attended, singing solos and in the choir. She was especially glad to be a part of the ‘Senior Saints” in Texas, where she made so many friends.

While living in Mount Vernon, she became a member of the Independent Pentecostal Church pastured by Rev. Jim Cummins, and later Rev. David Payne.

Wanda was preceded in death by her parents, her son, David Wayne Meinschein, and her sister, Peggy Wix. Wanda was survived by her two Sons, Rev. Allan Meinschein and his wife, Janie, of Evansville, and Rev. Mark Meinschein and his wife, Anh, of Lancaster, Texas, her Sister and brother in law, Sue and Fred Essary of Mount Vernon, Indiana. Granddaughters, Trinh Truong and husband, Phong Truong and their daughters Lily and Ashley, Myra Lynn Dickerson and her husband, James, of Evansville and their children Joshua, Justin and Meagan Dickerson of Evansville. Also surviving are Grandson, David Allan Meinschein and his wife, Mary, of Ballard County, Kentucky, and their children, Ashley (James) Wilson of Fort Banning, Georgia, Emily, Sara, Becca, Daniel, Ezekierl and Kaitlyn Meinschein of Ballard County, Kentucky, and her Great granddaughter, Kylie Wilson of Fort Benning, Georgia.

Also surviving are many nieces, nephews, cousins and special friends.

Joint Memorial Services for Wanda and Mark will be held April 15, 2012 at the independent Pentecostal Church at 328 Mulberry Street in Mount Vernon, Indiana with Rev. David Payne officiating.

Her interment will be in the Garrison Chapel Cemetary in Gentryville, Indiana.

April 6, 1961 Posey County News Seniors Fred “Country” Cook and Dave Hancock grabbed the top honors at the Poseyville Kiwanus - North Posey AthleticDept. Banquet held in the school cafeteria.

North Posey baseball crew captured their second win in a row when they dumped the Haubstadt Elites, 7-6.

Three salesman of Nix Motor Sales, Inc. Poseyville, attended Chevrolet’s Annual Legion of Leaders honor banquet last Thursday in Louisville.

Honored were Bob Kingsley, Glenn Wolfem, and Kenneth Hidbrader.

Lloyd’s Market advertised Wrights Platter Bacon 69 cents for two pounds.

Donald Heckerman, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Heckman, Cynthiana, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, National Scholarship Society, at DePauw University.

Rev. Mark Edward Meinschein After fighting a long battle with his health, yet continuing his ministry to the end, Rev. Mark Meinschein went home to be with his Lord and Savior on March 12, 2012 in Dallas, Texas.

Mark was born Oct. 19, 1948 in Evansville, Indiana, to Wanda Crowe and George E. Meinschein. He attended and graduated from Hedges Grade school and Mount Vernon High School in Mount Vernon, Indiana.

During his teen years, Rev. Jim Curnmins of Mount Vernon, became his mentor that led to Mark’s salvation and his encouragement prompted Mark to become involved with an outreach ministry in Mississippi.

This in turn inspired him to complete his education at the Christ for the Nations Institute in Oak Cliff, Texas. While at the Christ for the Nations, Mark established the Soul Patrol in 1974. In 1980 he was ordained by the Assemblies of God Independent.

He spent the next 10 years on the streets of Dallas, along with his mother, Wanda Gates and other volunteers, ministering to the deprived, socially unacceptable, bridge people, immigrants, and street people there.

He went to places other ministries were afraid of and refused to go. He brought food, blankets, clothing to those that lived on the streets and assisted those struggling to turn their lives around. This became the stepping stone for the Rays of Hope ministry that continues on. In 1983, he married his wife, Anh, an immigrant from Viet Nam, who was a tremendous help in his ministry to the street people in Dallas and

poor in Mexico. His ministry grew until it embodied opening their personal home to welcome over 8000 children and 60 adults over the years, some of who were there for a short time and some who became part of the family, but all who were nurtured and loved and fed spiritually. His passion for his ministry to the street people expanded to include not only the poorest of the poor in the Texas area but on to the squatters in the landfills of Matamoros, Mexico where he brought food, clothing, and toys for the people there. He also brought medical supplies, sheets, milk for the children and formula for the babies to the hospitals used by the poor in that area and the Love and Gospel of Jesus Christ to all he met. He was a selfless and fearless man who, through the power of God, brought thousands to Salvation.

Preceding him in death were his parents, a brother, David Wayne Meinschein, and Grandparents, George and Edith Meinschein and Owen and Bertha Crowe.

Mark is survived by his wife of 28 years, Anh, his daughter, Trinh Truong and her husband Phong Truong; his brother Allan Meinschein and his wife, Janie of Evansville, grandchildren, Lily and Ashley Trouong and his God children, Tony Tran, Jose Balderas, and Julie Sauthamavong, his Aunts and Uncles Sue and Fred Essary, and Dorothy Freimiller, of Mount Vernon, Ferrel and Joyce Meinschein of Daphne, Alabama, Carolyn and Chet Zuber and Melvin Meinschein of Evansville, and numerous cousins.

Historic New Harmony Happenings

WMI News April 8-14, 2012 is a week set aide for recognizing the services and value that libraries add to our communities.

As a forum for the free and open exchange of ideas, for lifelong education, and for individual education and development, libraries are unbeatable. Librarians and libraries answer questions, solve problems, teach literacy, provide a safe place for everyone, and believe in something very rare these days: providing the same level of service to everyone who comes in. Take time this week to think about all the ways your library works for you.

April is National Poetry Month, and to celebrate the month, we will be hosting an “open microphone” poetry reading on Tuesday, April 24th, from 6 – 7 p.m. Readers are encouraged to bring a poem or two to read. It can be one of your favorite poems, or one you wrote. This program is for older children and adults 16 and up – though anyone is welcome to attend – and we will have light snacks

By Steve Cochran and drinks for those in attendance – readers and listeners.

Also celebrating National Poetry Month, Working Men’s Institute is encouraging New Harmony School children in grades 4 through 8 to write a haiku – or two or three – which will be compiled into a chapbook published and distributed during April. I will be compiling all submitted work into a chapbook to be distributed for free to area residents.

Seeds of the Sower

By Michael Guido

The sure way to miss success is to miss the opportunity, and every problem is an opportunity.

One day a railroad clerk received a box of watches to be delivered to a store. Because of a mistake, the watches were rejected. “What shall I do?� asked the clerk. “You can have them for a few bucks apiece,�

said the distributor.

Sears drew some pictures, sent them to his friends, and they bought the watches. He ordered more, and enlarged his catalog. Today the company is known as Sears.

Got a problem? Look to the Lord. The Bible says, “If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God‌and it shall be given him.â€?

ChĂĄvez exhibition to open April 14 in New Harmony An opening reception for “Scraping the Bowl,â€? a sitespecific installation by Chicago-based artist Juan Angel ChĂĄvez, will take place at the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art from 5 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 14. The exhibition will run through Saturday, May 26.

Prior to the opening, ChĂĄvez will deliver a lecture at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 12 at Thrall's Opera House, located at 612 Church Street in New Harmony Indiana. Both events are free and open to the public.

ChĂĄvez began his residency in New Harmony on March 17 with the burning of a damaged 19th century barn.

With the use of residual materials and found objects that were manipulated by extreme ritualistic methods, ChĂĄvez has transformed the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art into a lunar-like wasteland.

Born in La Junta, Mexico, ChĂĄvez immigrated with his family to Chicago when he was thirteen. In Chicago, he studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and later became immersed in the underground art, music, and skateboarding worlds. By producing a variety of murals and mosaics around Chicago,

and working at the National Museum of Mexican Art, he became well known in the Chicago art scene. He has had solo exhibitions in Elmhurst and Chicago, Illinois and in Boston, Massachusetts. In addition, he has been recognized with the prestigious Richard

the work as a unique opportunity for our vocal music students”, notes Taylor, “it became obvious that there were opportunities present for our students in instrumental music, visual arts and technical theatre.” The Academy’s percussion ensemble will serve as the percussion section for the work. Visual arts students will create long form digital art and animations for display during the concert as well as traditional works for display in the lobby. Technical theatre students will reconfigure the stage to accommodate the orchestra as well as integrating intelligent lighting with the conventional lighting fixtures. Likewise, other technical theatre students will prepare sound reinforcement for the choir and soloists.

“It isn’t that we don’t do these technical things on a regular basis”, notes Taylor, “but typically we don’t have the budget for intelligent lighting and LED curtains”. In this instance however, the program and specifically this concert has received additional funding from the Blaffer Foundation, the Chamber of Commerce, Cynthiana State Bank and three anonymous donors.

“We are still seeking additional donors”, responded Taylor when asked if more help was needed, “a project of this size is a challenge on many fronts but the financial aspect is often the most challenging. We need to show the community that incredibly good things are happening in the arts at the high school and that this should be a source of community pride, worthy of their support regardless of their interest level or direct connection to the programs. There was a time that community support of community activities was a not just a kindness but a responsibility to the health of the community. Certainly, this is one of those times.”

Carrie Hurst performs in Musical at Centre College Carrie Hurst of Mount Vernon, a senior at Centre College, will take part in the DramaCentre production of "The Mystery of Edwin Drood," April 18-21. She is a lighting design assistant.

Hurst is the daughter of Roger and Marily Meckstroth Hurst of Mount Vernon and is a graduate of Mount Vernon High School.

outcome is unpredictable even to the actors who will tally the votes and continue with the chosen ending.

Sign-up and Re-Enrollment Deadline Extended for CRP Julia A. Wickard, State Executive Director of USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA) announced that the sign-up deadline for Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) general sign-up 43 has been extended to April 13, 2012.

"This extension will give eligible producers an additional week to make this important decision to submit an offer for enrollment in CRP", said Wickard. "During this time, Indiana producers may offer existing CRP acreage expiring September 30, 2012, as well as new acreage with conservation concerns".

After the CRP general

sign-up ends on April 13, FSA will evaluate offers based on cost and the Environmental Benefits Index (EBI). The EBI takes into consideration variables such as wildlife habitat, water quality protection, soil erosion reduction, air quality protection and other enduring benefits. Accepted offers will become effective October 1, 2012.

CRP is a voluntary program available to agricultural producers to help them use environmentally sensitive land for conservation benefits. Producers enrolled in CRP plant long-term, re-

Keck Gonnerman Notes Here are some more facts about the Keck Gonnerman Company; I hope you find these facts interesting.

Keck Gonnerman threshers were fast grain savers and dependable; equipped with self feeder, weigher and baggers, wind stackers, and a fifteen bar cylinder.

With a good crew the Keck Gonnerman was a hard one to beat in the threshing season. They were long lived and easy to keep up.

After 1921 all Kay-Gee’s were mounted on boilers built to the new A.S.M.E. specifications, having 3/8 inch boiler shell and a waist double butt strap riveted .

This allowed the boiler to stand 175 lbs. of working pressure. This was a leader in the industry at the time.

The Keck Gonnerman gas/oil tractors likewise were well constructed, and yes they did make more modern gas tractors. The power was ample for the largest threshers. Some of these can be found here in Posey County yet today.

The bean and pea threshers were well liked, and again you can find some of these nearby. In the 1920’s and 1930’s, cow peas were a major crop in west Kentucky, southwest Missouri and southern Illinois. The Keck Gonnerman sawmills, we have one at the Posey County Fairgrounds, likewise were heavily in demand in the 1900’s to about 1925. Coal mining equipment was other items built

by Keck Gonnerman.

costs. Old National Insurance and Employee Plans have the reputation, size and experience needed to help employers navigate through the ever changing employee benefits landscape. Our focus is to offer creative solutions to serious business problems that make financial sense.

Wildcats sweep double-header from Owen Valley in ten total innings

By Steve Joos It only took 10 innings for the Mount Vernon baseball team Saturday.

Ten innings to do what, you might ask?

Ten innings to sweep a doubleheader from visiting Owen Valley.

The Wildcats plated seven runs in the bottom of the fourth inning and added two more in the fifth to finish off Owen Valley 12-2 in five innings under the 10-run rule.

This after scoring 10 runs in the bottom of the first and going from there to slug the visitors 14-4 in the opener.

“Owen Valley is a growing program,” coach Paul Quinzer said. “I think they had some guys who could hit the ball. I think their pitching was a bit down. They had played some games earlier in the week, so they were pitching some younger guys against us and we were aided by them walking a lot of us.

We did get some timely hits, although we were complacent at times. The pitchers threw strikes, we got some good defense and we were able to win in two fives.”

Owen Valley jumped out with two runs in the first inning off starting pitcher Drake McNamara, who was making his first start in a week, Quinzer explained.

A bad hop in the infield cost the Cats in the first inning, but from there, McNamara settled down and set down Owen Valley, while his teammates took over at the plate.

Two-out hits were the order of the day for Mount Vernon, especially in the second game.

Ross Canada doubled in Hank Dausmann with the ty-

Silvers, Craig Beeson, Bryce Newman, Trevor Veeck, Collin Varner and Jevin Redman. Photo by Dave Koch ing run in the bottom of the second inning after McNamara led off the frame with a single, was wild pitched around to third and scored on a sacrifice fly by Clay Ford.

Jevin Redman put the Cats in front in the bottom of the third when he walked, stole second and took third on a throwing error before McNamara once again helped his own cause with a two-out single.

Then came the Mount Vernon fourth inning.

Aaron Roberts walked to open the Wildcat fourth, but was erased at second when Dausmann hit into a fielder’s choice. Dausmann then proceeded to steal second and come around on a wild pitch and passed ball.

Canada and Bryce Newman each walked and both

moved into scoring position on a wild pitch before Redman and River VanZant each singled, with Redman’s blow driving in two runs.

Troy Paris walked and McNamara once again helped his own cause with an RBI single. Two more errant pitches brought in Paris and a ground out by Roberts scored McNamara with the last run of the inning.

The Cats finished things off in the bottom of the firth, also with two outs. VanZant singled, stole second and scored on a single by Paris. McNamara walked and Ford reached on an error to load the bases before Roberts ended the game with a line drive to right field which went over Derek Schmitt’s head.

The Cats only managed

eight hits in the nightcap, but they took advantage of three Owen Valley errors along with a number of walks and hit batsmen. McNamara meanwhile settled down after that shaky first inning to toss a four-hitter.

Paris was on the hill in the first game and he spent most of the first inning on the bench as the Cats were scoring 10 runs. The senior hurler was a bit rusty in the top of the second, as Owen Valley pushed across three runs, but he shook that off and set Owen Valley down the rest of the way.

Owen Valley’s starting pitcher Trent Whitton ran into control trouble, issuing seven walks while Roberts hit the ball well and some kids who were battling for positions stepped up,

Quinzer said.

Whitton’s wildness, along with two errors, enabled the Cats to parlay their nine blows into 14 runs.

The coach felt that the team hit the ball much better, especially in key situations, than they did in their season-opening trip to Terre Haute.

“We’ve been on them all week about getting the bats off their shoulder and swinging,” the coach said.

“Battling at the plate and not watching pitches and I think we saw a little bit of that today. I think we swung bats pretty good, a lot better than we did at Terre Haute.”

Saturday’s twinbill sweep capped a strong weekend for the Cats, who slapped Heritage Hills 9-5 Friday night at Lincoln City.

Dausmann threw four and two and two thirds inning before Trevor Vieck finished up for the Wildcats.

Ford’s bases-clearing double was the big blow as he collected a pair of hits and drove in five runs.

The three wins were a big boost for Mount Vernon after a 1-3 start to the season.

After returning from Terre Haute, the Cats dropped a 9-4 decision at Memorial Tuesday night, committing four errors while letting an early 3-1 lead get away.

“We jumped out to a good start, but then we got satisfied,” Quinzer said. “Memorial kept coming back at us all night.”

The Tigers hit Canada for four runs in the bottom of the third inning and never looked back.

Lady Vikings starting to pull it together

Morgan Stierley, Deana Lindauer, and Megan Redman all had home runs in a 13-3 romp over Tell City.

By Dave Pearce North Posey softball coach Gary Gentil came into this season knowing that he had some holes to fill. But Gentil also knew he had capable players and an abundance of good hitters.

This week, the team proved him right as they shook off an 0-4 start and came up with two big wins this week in four games. As a matter of fact, they came up just short of a championship in the tournament on Saturday at Barr-Reeve, falling 6-5 to perennial power Clay City. The Lady Vikings actually outhit the slugging and undefeated Gibson Southern Titans earlier in the week, despite one bad defensive inning that cost them a shot at the high-flying Titans.

But all-in-all, Gentil can see his team making huge strides and knows that it is their desire and his desire to be playing their best ball come tournament time.

The Lady Vikings opened the week, outhitting Gibson Southern 8-7 but one bad inning costs them as they went down 6-1 at neighboring Titan Field.

“Again, it was just that one bad inning,” Gentil said. “Ashley Schorr pitched a very good game for us and other than that one inning, we played a good softball game. But Ashley went the complete game and did just a really good job for us.”

Gentil said the Titan pitcher pitched strong, as well, mixing up her pitches well and keeping the team somewhat offbalance, keeping the Vikings from stringing hits together.

“They got four runs in that third inning and they are a good hitting team but we are just working on being able to focus for the entire two hours,” Gentil said. “We had a couple of blunders in the third but all-in-all, I was prouod of the way

they played.”

Lindauer had a pair of hits and the only RBI of the contest while Taylor Patton, coming back off an injury, had a pair of hits, as well.

But starting out 0-5 didn’t bode well for the Lady Vikings and they took their frustrations out on Tell City on Thursday evening as three North Posey senior girls hit out-of-the-park home runs en route to a 13-3 victory over the Marksmen, the team that eliminated them from the sectional last season.

“We had hit the ball really well against Gibson Southern and we came back the next night and had 19 hits,” Gentil said. “Jordan Wassmer pitched a very good game for us up there as they got only four hits against her.”

Morgan Stierley, Deana Lindauer, and Megan Redman all came home with souvenir balls from Perry County as they had just too much firepower for the Lady Marksmen.

In Saturday’s tournament at Barr-Reeve, the Vikings continued to hit the ball well as they run-ruled powerful Southridge 10-0 in five innings as Schoor pitched a one-hitter against the Lady Raiders.

Stierley continued her torrid pace at the plate as she had three big hits (one a double) for the Lady Vikes. Megan Baehl, who came in at the designated player spot, and Redman, both had two big hits for the Lady Vikings and they obliterated Southridge. Lindauer also had a double for her team.

In the championship game, the Vikings gave up too many runs early and came up on the short end of a 6-5 score after

Mount Vernon girls, boys track teams working to improve

By Steve Joos It’s almost a spring perennial.

The Mount Vernon track teams open their season with dual meets against Harrison.

The girls are more competitive, with the Lady Wildcats either hanging close to, or beating the Evansville cinder powerhouse, while working on improving their times.

The boys, uh, work on improving their times.

That was the case Tuesday, as the Warriors came calling and left after scalping the boys’ team 94-38, while the Lady Wildcats posted a 74-58 victory.

The Lady Cats swept all three relays and finished 1-2-3 in the 100-meter high hurdles en route to the win in their meet.

Freshman Kellen Ray was an individual double winner, while Toni Waddell (another freshman) won the 1,600-meters (5:44) and ran a leg on the first-place 3,200and 1,600-meter relay teams.

Ray took both hurdle races, posting a time of :17.6 to lead a sweep of the 100-hurdles with Ashton Fuelling

Photo by Dave Koch and Amanda Duckworth, and then posted a time of :50.1 to win the 300-low hurdles.

She and Ellen Foster were also part of the blue ribbon 400-meter relay squad, teaming with Lauren Stemple and Abby Randall to post a time of :52.2. Stemple was a staple of the relays, running

a leg of the two-mile race with Waddell, Megan Eaton and Megan Randall (11:38), while teaming up with Waddell, Abby Randall and Erica McCormick for first place in the 1,600-relay (4:26).

Individually, Foster won the long jump with a 14-foot, 10-inch jump, while McCormick took the 800-meters

(2:28). Other blue ribbons were won by Cassie McDaniel in the 3,200 (13:40) and Maggie Maier in the pole vault (six feet, six inches).

After a strong performance by the girls, what can be said about the boys’ meet?

Not much, other than the possible fact that the team

Vikings thump west side schools, run win streak to four

By Dave Pearce North Posey head baseball coach Kevin Smith has been the skipper for only a few games. But on Tuesday, after the Vikings had lost back-to-back games, saw why the North Posey program has such a well-known program.

With their backs against the wall, sitting a 1-2 only three games into the season, the Vikings were set to face perennial power Mater Dei and Class 4A Reitz on successive nights.

Although the games were not conference games, it was critical that the Vikings come out of the stretch with at least one win. Just for good measure, the Vikings conquered both west side schools as part of a three-game winning streak that has left them with a 4-2 mark heading into action this week.

“It feels good early just to get a win, period,” Smith said after the Vikings had defeated Mater Dei 6-5. “We had a

couple of rough games back-to-back. We felt like we let one get away at Forest Park and then at South Spencer, things went awry and the game got away from us.”

But a win can do wonders for confidence and attitude and when the win is over arch-rival Mater Dei, it seems to go even further.

“This was a nice ballgame tonight,” Smith said. “Mater Dei has a nice ball club and everyone around here talks like they are going to be the team to beat. We just wanted to come out and compete tonight and the kids did that. But we certainly still have not played our best game. We still have a lot of things to work on. We’re still experimenting in some spots but all in all, when you get a win early, you have to happy with it.”

If there was one player who had any more to do with the

win over Mater Dei than another, it would have to be Colton Martin. The junior helped get the team off on the right foot after pitcher Tyler Stolz got out of a bit of a first-inning jam and his teammates responded. Martin smacked a homer over the left centerfield fence with Alec Werry on board to give the Vikings an early 2-0. Smith thought the early lead was very important, as was the contributions made by Martin all evening.

“The two-run homer to get us going early was big in that aspect,” Smith said of the shot. “He had a big hit his second time up too.”

The second big hit was necessary because Mater Dei fought back in their half of the second inning.

Lady Wildcats gain monumental win over Boonville, beat Lady Rappites

By Steve Joos This will be the last softball season for New Harmony School and there’s something the Lady Rappites were able to finally do in their last campaign.

They scored on the Mount Vernon Lady Wildcats.

Madison Worman’s third inning single scored one of only two Lady Rappites’ tallies in a 12-2 loss to the visiting Lady Cats Tuesday night. “We’re going as good as our pitching’s going and it’s been going good the last couple of nights (against New Harmony and Norris City-Omaha-Enfield),�

Mount Vernon coach Dave Bell said. “We did a pretty nice job tonight. We ran the bases pretty good, we swung the bats pretty good and we got some good pitching, so things are going pretty well.�

Mackenzie Stratton and Maddie Denning split the mound duties in both games and were effective. On Tuesday, they shut down a young, but talented Lady Rappite squad for four innings, while Seifert and Tanner did a very good job of swinging the bats.

Amy Seifert and Kylen Tanner each collected three hits and accounted for eight of the Lady Cats’ runs batted in, with Seifert driving in five runs.

Seifert cracked a two-run triple in the top of the first inning, driving in Mount Vernon’s first two runs of the night and then opened the third with a double, sparking a five-run uprising that made the score 10-0.

She and Tanner each singled in runs as the Lady Wildcats tallied three in the second for a 5-0 advantage before doubling the score in

Vikings, from Page B5

North Posey sophomore catcher Ryan Gish holds his ground in tagging out what would have been the tying run against Mater Dei this week. Photo by Dave Pearce With two men on in the second, Stolz got the batter to hit into a double play that gave up a run but it appeared he might be out of the inning. But like North Posey, Mater Dei doesn’t go away.

Stolz followed that up with a walk and a hit batsman to put runners on first and second, still with two out. Then, an error on a routine grounder gave Mater Dei the go-ahead run at 3-2 as the Vikings had committed two errors in the inning and just didn’t look solid.

But in the bottom of the third, the Vikings an-

swered back. Meliff singled and Werry was bit by a pitch. Werry stole third before Martin got another big hit, this time a double that scored two runs and the Vikings took the lead again 4-3.

“All-in-all I thought our approaches at the plate were much better, more consistent,” Smith said.

“We talked about the first three games and how we were being too inconsistent as to how we were approaching our swings at the plate and we worked this week on trying to become more consistent. I was pleased with the kids.”

In the top of the fourth, the Wildcats again tied the score at four before the Vikings again fought back in their half.

Stolz walked to start the inning and with one out, Meliff singled. Austin Bender then walked before Werry’s strong at-bat ended up in a full-count walk that scored a run. But the Vikings left the bases loaded inn the inning.

In the Mater Dei half of the fifth, the lead-off runner was hit by a pitch by North Posey catcher Ryan Gish shot him down on an attempted steal to move to second. Wes Harness then

made a fine diving catch the ended the inning.

The Vikings got an insurance run in the bottom of the fifth when Zach Voegel and Meliff had backto-back singles. Shane Neumann thing singled on a 0-1 pitch that scored Voegel. But again, Mater Dei was able to get out of the inning with only one run scored. But as it turned out, the Vikings would need all six runs to win the game.

Stolz gave way to Martin in the sixth as Stolz had reached his pitch limit.

Martin set down the side on only four pitches.

“I was really proud of Tyler after he struggled there at South Spencer and couldn’t find his groove but tonight he came out and the first inning was big for him,” Smith said. “He came out and threw strikes and battled right away. I was happy for him because he is going to have to play a huge part in out pitching rotation. But Colton did a great job, as well, getting their order 1-2-3 there in

the sixth was bigger than one might think, especially the way the seventh inning turned out.”

The Vikings made it tougher than it had to be in the seventh as Martin walked the lead-off hitter.

The next batter lined a shot at Harness in center but he slipped on the wet grass and the ball got by him, allowing a run to score. The Wildcats’ Cody Hess was then hit by a pitch.

The game ended on a double steal attempt when Gish stood his ground and got the third out as the tying run attempted to go home on the 2-6-2 put-out.

Against Reitz on Thursday, Voegel went six and two-thirds innings as the Vikings got one in the first, one in the second, and five in the third to give the Vikings enough runs to win the game.

In the five-run fifth, Cody Voelker was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning before Harness singled and Meliff walked. Austin Bender reached on an error and got credit for three

RBIs. Then, with one out, Martin again came up big with a home run shot and Voegel singled and scored.

The Vikings enjoyed winning so much early in the week they just kept it going on Saturday against a very good Perry Central team.

The game went back and forth as the Vikings led 2-1 before Perry Central fought back to take a 3-2 lead in the fifth inning.

But the Vikings apparently don’t have much “quit” in them and fought back to tie the game in the bottom of the fifth before the exciting seventh inning finale.

In the bottom of the seventh, Melliff walked with one out and stole second.

The Commodores then intentionally walked Austin Bender. But Alec Werry made the Perry County team pay for the pass as he singled home the winning run and the Vikings took the win, 4-3.

The spring seasons are a whirlwind as the Vikings were slated for four games this week.

The top two singles spots against the Lady Marksmen were tough, as Ackerman dropped her match to Rachel Woznicki 6-4, 6-1, and Thomas had to bounce back from a first set loss to take her second singles contest over Theresa Hantschel 0-5, 7-5, 10-8, but after that the Lady Vikings dominated the other sets and kept dominating the next day when the Lady Rebels came calling.

Lady Wildcat softball, from B6 around on a single by Tanner.

Stratton held the Lady Hatchets in check over the first six innings of the contest. Washington catcher Paige Hawthorne opened the contest with a single, but was stranded at third, and then Stratton faced regulation batters until the top of the fourth. She followed that up by fanning the side in the top of the fifth. She yielded a one-out double to Hawthorne in the top of the sixth inning before the Lady Hatchets roughed her up for a pair of runs in the top of the seventh.

Maddie Heacock walked to open the seventh and came around on a double

by Lexi Lemon. After Ashley Elliott bunted Lemon to third, Miranda Shisel singled in the Washington pitcher.

Kerstin Burks was hit by a pitched ball that Bell thought had been fouled off before Stratton shut the door and gave Mount Vernon the win.

Stratton was pitching her fourth game of the week and might have been a little tired, Bell said, adding that she

was able to pick up the win and that was the most important part. “I’m proud of the way the girls are playing now and I hope they can keep it up,� he said.

The freshman hurler may have been tired, but she was also effective, fanning six Lady Hatchets while scattering five hits.

Mount Vernon followed up a pair of one-sided early season wins Thursday night by rallying for two runs in the bottom of the seventh for a 6-5 victory over visiting Boonville. “It was a nice win,� Bell said. “The girls did a nice job, they’re really excited about the way things went and everybody got pumped out.�

Bell has been stressing the importance of only giving the opposition three outs in an inning and the team has been doing that, but they also had to rally from an early 5-1 deficit to pull things out.

The Lady Wildcats chipped away in the fifth and sixth innings, pulling to

within a run after the sixth a 5-4. In the seventh, Mount Vernon tied the game on singles by Oden and Tucker, while Elizabeth Montgomery beat the throw on a fielder’s choice. Stratton then helped her own cause with an RBI single. “We hit the ball,� Bell said. “We had 14 hits. We hit the ball well, we had 14 hits and we didn’t commit any errors. I was proud of the girls either way and with the win, I was really proud of them.�

Boonville is always considered a measuring stick for the Lady Cats, considering the strength of the Lady Pioneers’ program and Bell said that this may have been the Mount Vernon program’s first win over Boonville.

The Lady Cats took a 2-0 record into Thursday’s game after beating New Harmony and opening the season with a 16-2 rout at Norris CityOmaha-Enfield. “They made a couple mistakes and it snowballed after that,� Bell said. “That’s all I want to say about that.�

Always helping peers suits Peerman family New Harmony natives Don and Melissa Peerman anticipate a first this year: their younger son D.J. will be the first in their family to

graduate somewhere other than New Harmony School, or NHS. The Peermans have dedicated their lives to making NHS “a great

place to learn.” In doing so, they have become part of a close-knit circle of local families, all committed to helping each other.

For 20 years, Don has served as a baseball coach in one league or another, including at the junior high and high school. Not surprisingly, he is the past president of the New Harmony Youth Association, responsible for summer leagues.

Melissa’s volunteer work at NHS includes serving as treasurer of the parent and teacher association and working with the Booster Club. In the community, she

has been a long-time member of Tri-Kappa women’s service sorority. In addition, she has been a member of the Ribeyre Gym Restoration Group since February, taking the place once filled by her father, the late Ivan Alsop.

Both Melissa and Don have served NHS on the D.C. Trip Committee for the past 12 years. Now, they serve together on the NHS Celebration Committee as well.

The Peermans also pitch in and help their church family at Johnson United Methodist whenever needed. In particular, Melissa

continues as the Memorial Fund Secretary.

The couple enjoys most, however, the friendships developed in Posey County.

Melissa points out that their circle of friends often attends events, such as concerts, together, and has even gone on vacation together several times.

“We consider our friends as family,” Don comments.

“We share the same interests and get together whenever we can.”

The Peermans will celebrate 28 years of marriage on June 28. A Countrymark employee, Don enjoys hunting and fishing with

his two sons. Both he and Melissa have been involved with their sons’ sports.

Cody (20), now a student at the University of Southern Indiana, has participated in baseball, basketball and soccer. Entering 7th grade this fall at North Posey, D.J. (12) has enjoyed baseball and basketball. A lead customer service representative at Fifth Third Bank in New Harmony, Melissa adds she and her whole family enjoy staying at home and entertaining friends. The Peermans have also provided a forever home to Lacy, their rescue dog from Gibson County.

Dell and two employees maFarmhand chine seed the lettuce in peat GEOFF DELL moss cubes and watch it grow, MIKE GIVENS spacing it as needed to give it room to leaf out. They grow five varieties of lettuce—curly green leaf, Indiana round bib (also known as butterhead), Romaine, red leaf and a trio blend of two types of red leaf and one green leaf. All five varieties require 14 days propagation and 30-35 days growth in beds to reach maturity.

The lettuce is sold wholesale locally and regionally throughout the Tri-State after packaging at 6410 Leonard Road North.

Relay Card Party set for April 12

By Valerie Werkmeister Some people fight cancer from their hospital beds. Others fight it with their faith. Even more fight with the support of their family and friends. The North Posey Relay for Life team would like to invite everyone to come out for an evening of good times, fellowship and hope during their ninth annual card party on Thursday, April 12, beginning at 5 p.m. The event is held at St. Francis Church Cafeteria in Poseyville. It just might be the most fun way to fight cancer.

There will be a $5 entry fee at the door. Chili and vegetable soup as well as sandwiches and desserts will be served until 7 p.m. The card party will be held from 7 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. There are many wonderful door prizes that have been donated. A live auction and the infamous egg rumble will also be held. Participants can purchase one egg for $1, five eggs for $3 or 10 eggs for $5. Lucky winners will receive an egg filled with candy or tickets to a prize.

Tickets may be purchased in advance by contacting Mary Peach at 874-3629 or Carolyn Higginson at 874-3184. They will also be available at the door.

Nominations are still needed for the Courage Award. The deadline for entry is May 7. It is an annual award given to a Posey County resident who has fought or is currently battling cancer. The winner will be honored at the Relay for Life event on June 9. Submission letters should state the reason why this person should be chosen to receive the award.

They can be sent to Teri James or Autumne Baker at the American Cancer Society, 6301 Old Boonville Highway, Suite B, Evansville, IN 47715.

The Schmitt Family is sponsoring a fundraiser at Buffalo Wild Wings on the west side on April 23. Coupons for the event must be turned in along with your food purchase receipt. Coupons can be obtained by contacting Debra Schmitt at 874-3482.

Dollar General in Poseyville will hold their next bake sale on April 21, from 9 a.m. – noon.

One Stop is currently holding a baby photo contest for their employees. Customers can pay one penny per vote to decide who is the “prettiest.” The contest will run up until the relay in June.

Another way the community can help is to contribute by purchasing candy bars, paper feet or donating quarters for the “Got a quarter, give a quarter” campaign. The quarters will later be used to line the track. The goal is to line the track with as many quarters as possible to hopefully circle it.

The CSB team is selling hanging flower baskets for $20 to be ready in time for Mother’s Day. The fundraiser will end on Friday, April 27. They have wavy petunias in purple, pink or red; million belles in yellow, purple, orange and red.

Individual geraniums will also be available for $4 each in red, pink, coral and white. Order forms can be picked up at CSB in Poseyville.

To date, a total of $21,949.30 has been raised in the fight against cancer by dedicated North Posey Relay for Life supporters. The Cookin’ Friends team reported they made $2,650.50 during their annual chicken dinner. The relay committee reported a total of $3,340.78 was raised for the catered dinner provided to the Posey County Co-op. No amount is too small and no job is too big to aid in the fight to find a cure against this horrible disease.

Can goods are also being collected this year to help weigh down the luminary bags that line the track. The public is asked to bring as many can goods as possible on June 9. The can goods will later be donated to a local food pantry.

2012-053 NOTICE OF REAL PROPERTY COMMISSIONERS’ CERTIFICATE SALE Posey County Indiana Beginning 10:00 AM, May 22nd, 2012 Local Time STATE OF INDIANA POSEY COUNTY Pursuant to the laws of the Indiana General Assembly and by resolution of the Posey County Commissioners, notice is hereby given that the following described tracts or items of real property are listed for sale for delinquent taxes and / or special assessments.

The minimum sale prices listed below are less than the minimum sale prices when offered in the immediately preceding county tax sale held under I.C. 6-1.1-24-5(e) and include all fees and expenses of the county directly attributable to the Commissioners’ Certificate Sale. The Posey County Commissioners will accept bids for the certificates of sale, for the price referred to in IC 6-1.1-24-6.1(a)(3), by public auction on May 22nd, 2012 at 10:00 AM Courthouse Time at Hovey House, Commissioners’ Room.

A person redeeming each tract or item of real property after the sale of the certificate must pay: (A) the amount of the minimum bid under Section 5(e) of IC 6-1.1-24 for which the tract or item of real property was last offered for sale; (B) ten percent (10%) of the amount for which the certificate is sold; (C) the attorney’s fees and costs of giving notice under IC 6-1.1-25-4.5; (D) the costs of a title search or of examining and updating the abstract of title for the tract or item of real property; (E) all taxes and special assessments on the tract or item of real property paid by the purchaser after the sale of the certificate plus interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum on the amount of taxes and special assessments paid by the purchaser on the redeemed property; and (F), all costs of sale, advertising costs, and other expenses of the county directly attributable to the sale of the certificate.

If the certificate is sold for an amount more than the minimum bid under Section 5(e) of IC 6-1.1-24 for which the tract or item of real property was last offered for sale and the property is not redeemed, the owner of record of the tract or item of real property who is divested of ownership at the time the tax deed is issued may have a right to the tax sale surplus.

Indiana law prohibits a person who owes delinquent taxes, special assessments, penalties, interest, or costs directly attributable to a prior tax sale, from purchasing tracts or items of real property at a tax sale. Prior to bidding at a tax sale, each bidder must affirm under the penalties for perjury that he or she does not owe delinquent taxes, special assessments, penalties, interest, costs directly attributable to a prior tax sale, amounts from a final adjudication in favor of a political subdivision in this county, any civil penalties imposed for the violation of a building code or ordinance of this county, or any civil penalties imposed by a health department in this county. Further, each bidder must acknowledge that any successful bid made in violation of the above statement is subject to forfeiture. In the event of forfeiture, the bid amount shall be applied to the delinquent taxes, special assessments, penalties, interest, costs, judgments, or civil penalties of the ineligible bidder, and a certificate will be issued to the county executive.

The Auditor’s Office does not warrant the accuracy of the key numbers or street addresses published herein and any misstatement in the key number or street address does not invalidate an otherwise valid sale.
