Aventine given hero’s welcome at grand opening By Pam Robinson Enthusiasm and praise met Tom Manuel, President and CEO of Aventine Renewal Energy, Inc., when he welcomed approximately 80 guests to the company’s grand opening celebration luncheon held at Western Hills Country Club in Mount Vernon this past Wednesday. Prominent local speakers included John Tucker, Mayor of Mount Vernon; Scott Moye, President of the Posey County Commissioners; and Phil Wilzbacher, Director of Southwind Port. After the luncheon, guests were loaded onto four motor coaches and escorted to Aventine’s Mount Vernon plant for tours. Later in

the afternoon, around 50 business leaders gathered as Manuel ended the festivities with a ribbon cutting at the facility. Mayor Tucker applauded Aventine as “Mount Vernon’s newest game-changer” for its ability to “face economic challenges head on with diligence and ingenuity.” He commended Aventine’s directive for construction workers to “buy local” and noted the company’s benefit as a city water and sewer utility customer as well as an employer who has created 45 permanent, good-paying jobs at the port. County Commissioner President Moye extended his own warm wel-

come. “I can assure you that the county commissioners, the City of Mount Vernon, the city council, the county council and community leaders are standing with you in the future for anything your company needs to successfully move forward,” he said. “There’re a lot of places in the community today that would like to stand up here and say they have a $500 million investment.” Port Director Wilzbacher highlighted significant dates for the newest occupant at Southwind Port: “The project first came under discussion in the early part of 2006. . . .Following the early discussions, construction then began in July

2007, which led up to Aventine bringing the plant into operation in December 2010. On January 4, [2011], the first ethanol barge loaded with Aventine-produced ethanol was loaded at the port.” During the tours, it was noted that the new Aventine facility produces 300,000 gallons of ethanol a day—enough to last one motorist’s driving lifetime—with its 24-hour a day, 365-days-a-year operation. Approximately every three days, a million gallons may be loaded on a single barge for shipment although shipments may be loaded onto truck and rail also. Production will total 108 million gallons of ethanol a year.

Dangers of distracted drivers subject of Monday meeting The City of Mount Vernon and the Mount Vernon Police Department are sponsoring an event on Monday, April 18, 2011, to educate Mount Vernon High School students on the dangers of distracted driving, in particular texting while driving. PEER Awareness, a health and wellness organization in Grand Rapids, Michigan, offers an on-site program called Aware-TXT. This program uses

The Posey County Republican Women’s Club is hosting their Card Party on Tuesday, April 12 at 6 p.m. at the Elks Home, 131 E. Fourth Street in Mount Vernon. Guests to this family-oriented event are welcome to play cards or to bring other favorite board games.

of work done in the five weeks that we have left.” Tomes gave members of the audience a quick lesson on how a bill becomes law. “We’re going to have some long days,” Tomes said of the Senate side of the house. “They tell me it is going to get pretty rough.” Tomes said that a bill is introduced, it goes from the writer to the Senate Pro Tem and he will determine whether the bill will move ahead and he assigns it to the appropriate committee. The next step is that the bill is brought before a small group of legislators for a “second reading.” At that point, that bill is open for public debate. “But that’s where it can get interesting,” Tomes said. “Some of these bills can look like they are a pretty clearcut measure but when the public comes in representing groups to testify, sometimes those

cutting-edge virtual reality simulation allowing students the chance to try to text while driving in a safe environment. The program is designed to significantly expose students to the risks and dangers of texting while driving. “Like the schools do every day, we want to promote activities to engage a safe and healthy community,” said Grant Beloat, Chief of Police for the Mount Vernon Police Department. According to the PEER Awareness Web site, www.peerawareness. com, texting has been shown to endanger drivers up to eight times more than alcohol. In 2008, 37 percent of all collisions were directly caused by distracted drivers with the largest portion involving young, inexperienced drivers under the age of 20. The seriousness of this issue has captured local and national attention with 22 states now banning texting while driving and the state of Indiana offering similar legislation during the 2011 legislative session. The program (offered indoors or outdoors) includes six hours of presentation involving 30-35 students per hour in the Safe Texting Simulator along with an exit survey allowing students to pledge to not text and drive. This program will educate high school students on the dangers of distracted driving,” said Mayor Tucker. “We especially urge our young citizens to understand the realities that can occur from texting while driving.”

Come celebrate EASTER with us!

Do you know:

What is

Easter? Luke 24:1-12: But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” And they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.

INGREDIENTS • 10 ounces ground pork shoulder • 10 ounces sweet Italian sausage, removed from casing • 2 ounces prosciutto or pancetta, minced (helps to put in freezer for 15 min first, before mincing, will make it easier to cut) • 4 cups cubed white bread, crusts removed first. • 1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley • 1 teaspoon dried oregano • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes • 1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt • 2/3 cup ricotta cheese • 3 eggs, lightly beaten • Olive oil • 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes (high quality, either San Marzano or Muir Glen) • 1/4 cup chiffonaded* fresh basil leaves • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese DIRECTIONS 1. In a large bowl, add the pork, Italian sausage, prosciutto or pancetta, bread cubes, parsley, oregano, fennel, red pepper flakes, and salt. Use your hands to mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Do not over-work. 2. Whisk the beaten eggs and ricotta together in a separate bowl until there are no more large clumps of ricotta. Pour into the bowl of the meat mixture. Mix with your hands until just incorporated. Again, do not over-mix. 3. If you want, to test seasoning, you can take a small bit of the mix, form into a patty, and heat in a small skillet on the stovetop until cooked through. Depending on how this test patty tastes to you, add more herbs, chili, or salt to taste to the meat mixture. Keep meat mixture in refrigerator while doing this. 4. Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat the bottom of a large roasting pan with olive oil. Form meatballs in your hand, about 1 1/2-inches in diameter, using about 3 Tbsp of the mixture to form each meatball. Arrange in pan so there is some space between them. If too crowded they will steam and not brown. 5. Roast meatballs in the oven for about 30 minutes, turning the meatballs after about 20 minutes, until the meatballs are beginning to brown. 6. Remove pan from oven. Use a metal spatula to dislodge meatballs from being stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add the crushed tomatoes to the pan. Carefully cover the pan with aluminum foil (carefully because the pan is still hot!) Return the pan to the oven. Lower the heat to 300°F. Cook for an additional hour to 1 1/2 hours. 7. Sprinkle basil into sauce before serving and top Meatballs with grated Parmesan. Makes about 24 meatballs. • Yield: Serves 5-6.

The WMI will host the first Our Town Coffee Hour to be held at the WMI since the new elevator has been in place. The coffee hour will be April 19 at 10 a.m. and again following the WMI quarterly membership meeting at 7:30 p.m. Feel free to attend the membership meeting at 7 p.m. Refreshments will be served at both programs. The subject of this Our Town Coffee Hour is New Harmony in the Civil War. In the last two articles, the impact of the Civil War on the citizens of New Harmony, or in some cases the impact of citizens of New Harmony on the Civil War, has been discussed. Among the 173 men from New Harmony who went off to war

there were infantrymen, cavalry soldiers and their horses, officers who led men in battle, doctors and a nurse. They fought from Missouri to the Gulf of Mexico, into Kentucky to the Cumberland Gap, across the heart of the south to Atlanta and on with Sherman as he marched to the sea. They fought the enemy, disease and extreme weather. Often they were without essentials like proper clothing, clean water and adequate food. But most of all they fought for their country, their state, and their town. In letters sent to family and friends, they did not question why they were involved in a struggle that in the end cost more American lives that all the other wars our country has fought combined. They understood why they were there and what was at stake. James Penn Bennett summed it up when writing to his wife in September of 1862: “This is a dark hour in the history of the war. It is an ordeal the country is passing through that really looks like retribution. The crime of human slavery is of so great enormity that time is sure to bring its punishment. The cursed Institution has corrupted the United States al-

most to its foundation.” New Harmony in the Civil War will take you to the places our soldiers fought and, in some cases, died. It will tell the personal family stories of New Harmony citizens who lived during this historic struggle, often in their own words. It will tell of New Harmony’s heroes – common, everyday citizens who stepped forward to serve. As we prepare to celebrate New Harmony’s bicentennial it is interesting to remember that at the outbreak of the Civil War, the town was preparing to celebrate it’s first 50 years. In fact, New Harmony’s 50th anniversary fell during the Civil War in 1864. How proud those citizens must have been that their town was established by people who had come the America seeking religious freedom, and continued on by people seeking a society where all people had a share in the resources of their community -- where an education and the right to earn a decent living were considered universal and not just for a chosen few. How proud they must have been in their friends, neighbors and family members who left home to fight for the Union. As 2014 approaches we can be proud of these things too. So please join us at the WMI to honor our Civil War Soldiers. For more information call 682-4806 or visit us at www.workingmensinstitute.org. Remember we’re now open late. The WMI is open every Wednesday and Thursday till 7 p.m. Don’t forget the Library Lil Reading Club every Thursday at 6:30 p.m. Your children will enjoy stories and activities while you relax with a magazine or catch up on your email. We’ll see you there.

Jason Muller of MV receives WorkOne Achievement Award Jason Muller of Mt. Vernon was presented with the WorkOne Achievement Award for overcoming several employment barriers and pursuing a better life for himself. He received the award today in a ceremony at the Indiana Statehouse. Jason, a single father, recently found himself out of a job so he visited his local WorkOne Center for assistance. Jason took advantage

of many programs and tools offered at WorkOne including counseling, occupational skills training and reemployment services. Through the help of WorkOne, Jason returned to school. While pursuing a degree, he accepted a part-time position at an auto parts store. A testament to his outstanding work ethic, Jason was able to maintain a 3.8 GPA while working and

caring for his young child. He expects to graduate in May and recently accepted a position at Ivy Tech as a Lab Technician in the Automotive Department. “Jason juggles single parenting and working while staying motivated and excelling in the classroom,” said Mark W. Everson, Commissioner of the Department of Workforce Development. “Jason is a shinning example of how hard work and the right tools can turn around a challenging situation.” The Indiana Department of Workforce Development awarded 12 individuals with WorkOne Achievement Awards for their outstanding accomplishments while participating in the workforce development system. Twelve awards were also presented to employers who partner with WorkOne for their contribution to growing Indiana’s economy and commitment to their community. All of today’s recipients were nominated for the award by their local WorkOne center.

Random Acts of Kindness celebrated by Mount Vernon freshmen, sophomores Vote on Posey County News Facebook will determine winner A recent assignment for Mount Vernon High School’s freshman and sophomore English classes included essays on the practice of random acts of kindness. Lauren Bell’s students wrote about acts of kindness they had been a part of. The top four, chosen by Mrs.

Bell are listed below. The grand prize winner will be determined by votes on the Posey County News Facebook page this week. Simply go to the Posey County News Facebook Page and click the “Like” button to vote on the essay winner of your choice.

Little things can mean a lot to people with little You must give something to your fellowmen. Even if it’s a little thing, do something for others- something for which you get no pay, but the privilege of doing it. This is the mentality that everyone should have, especially with millions of people who go without shelter, food and proper clothing every day. This is the mentality I had when I went up to Indianapolis for a DECA competition this past weekend. It was about 11 o’clock and freezing. Everyone was talking about how we wished it wasn’t such a miserably cold walk and about tomorrow’s events. We were about half way to our hotel when I spoiled a man sitting in a corner of the theater entrance. He had on a hat, jacket, jeans and another jacket was barely covering his upper body. I was quickly reminded ofjust how cold it was. The first thing he did when he noticed me looking at him was smile. For a couple of seconds I found this rather odd considering the chilling temperatures and the fact he was barely covered with anything remotely warm. As everyone kept walking without

me I pulled my wallet out of my purse and found a five dollar bill. I walked over to the man, handed it to him and told him to have a nice night and to stay warm. His reply was a thank you as he kept smiling at the five dollars like it was gold. As I walked back to the hotel I couldn’t get out of my mind what if. What if I would have kept walking? Would he have been able to feed himself? What if that was me instead of him? The last thought was chilling considering it very easily could have been. It could have been any of us. Sometimes the people who need help the most are overlooked more then we realize. Walking the streets of Indianapolis corroborated with that statement. So many people go without food and shelter every day and so many turn their heads to try to ignore this fact. The truth is though, that all those people who need help are still trying to make their way in this world just like me and you. So really were all the same, we all just have to stick together. Megan Martin Grade 10

Thought counts for care package for homeless My act of kindness I chose to do was to give a homeless person a care package. This care package included body wipes, hand warmers, 2 bottles of water, crackers, hand sanitizer, shave gel, a razor, Q-tips, lotion, granola bars, soap, band aids, shampoo and conditioner, toothbrush, toothpaste, a comb, and a coat. I did this because some people who are out on the streets need things like this but don’t have the money for it. I would not give them money, of course, because then I would have no idea what it was spent on. There was this one man in particular that I wanted to give this care package to. My parents drove me to where he usually is, and he wasn’t there. We drove around looking for someone to give it to, but there was no one around. So, unfortunately, I couldn’t do my

act of kindness that I planned. In my opinion, what I tried to do was still an act of kindness. The reason I wanted to give this care package to this man specifically is that his sign always said something like, “Please give me food or water. Thank you. God bless.” I wish he could’ve been there so I could have given him the care package. Even though I could not give it to him, it made me feel good to make the effort. It would’ve made me feel better if I could have actually given him the care package, but I can’t help that he wasn’t there. I’m going to leave the care package in the car, so when I do see him I can still give it to him and show him kindness. Lexie Tomlinson Grade 9

Real joy comes from helping others in disaster As we all recall the Golden Rule we learned in Kindergarten, “Treat others the way you want to be treated,” I know that if the same thing that happened to the family I helped happened to me, I would want help also. Everyone deserves a random act of kindness, and even the littlest thing will make someone’s day and bring a smile to their face. Doing something to help another person and receiving nothing in return wilt make you feel good about yourself and could help a person greatly. So, why wouldn’t you want to do a random act of kindness to put a smile on someone’s face who might need it? I did more than just make a person smile; I helped them receive something they no longer had because on Sunday, March l3”, Katie Bulla and her family lost everything they owned in a house fire. They no longer had anything but the clothes they were wearing on their backs at the time of the fire. We know Katie and her family through their aunt. When

she told me, about the fire I felt so horrible for the family. I can’t imagine having nothing; no food, clothes, pictures, much less a house to put that all in. Their world was torn apart in a matter of time, and there was nothing any of them could do about it. Through her aunt, I found out Katie wore the same size clothes as me, so I decided I would gather up some of my jeans, t-shitts, jackets, hair products, socks and shoes to give to her at the Four Season Motel, the place which the Red Cross had paid for them to stay. When we saw Katie and her mom, they were sitting in their car. They got out, and my first thought was that they looked miserable. I felt like they were a family living in their car because they had everything they now owned in that car. When I gave Kadie the clothes and I told her what was in the bags, she and her mother were so grateful because they were having a lot of trouble finding Katie clothes, especially jeans. Katie told me she was so happy

to finally have a pair of jeans because all she had were the shorts she was wearing at the time of the fire. I felt like I had taken one less problem away from her and her family. We talked about her grandmother, who passed away last year, and, somehow, the rings that she gave her had survived the fire, while everything else had melted around it. Her mother then said the only thing she had left were pictures that were charred and burned now, but she was going to keep them because that was one of her last connections to her mother. When I heard her say that, I didn’t even know what to think. A house and clothes are replaceable, but pictures are pieces of frozen time that can never be replaced! When we left, I just felt lucky to have been able to help them. These people lost their foundation, literally, and I’m more than happy to help them rebuild as much as I can. Sara Pace Grade 10

MVJHS upcoming events Upcoming Staff Development – No School On Friday, April 15, the faculty and staff will be having a professional development activity; therefore, the students will not be having school on this day. Please remember that the students will have school on April 22 and April 25 as these will be make-up days from this winter’s inclement weather days. Arrive to School to Special Musical Tunes Recently students arrived to school to several excerpts to “Enchanted Sleeping Beauty” being played over the exterior speakers. “Hear Ye’ Hear Ye,” “The Gift I Bring,” “Good Prince,” and “All is Well That’s Ended Well” are among the songs which will randomly be played upon their arrival and departure as we come down to the final two weeks of practice for the spring musical. The excitement is building as the cast members can be heard talking about the fun they are having in preparing for the musical. The entire family will enjoy this musical! Tickets are now on sale in the school’s office for the performances on Friday, April 15, at 7 p.m., and Saturday, April 16, at 3 p.m. The musical is being directed by our music teacher, Mrs. Cheryl Weber. The MVJHS Spring Book Fair is coming Our spring book fair will begin in Room 105 of the Media Center beginning next Monday, April 11, and will run through the following Monday, April 18. We will have the newest titles! There will also be daily giveaways for students. More information will be given in the school’s bulletin. Remember, books make great gifts; and the book fair is open from 7:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. daily for your convenience as well as your child’s. Student Swap Day On Thursday of this week, teachers will see some new faces in their classrooms. Several members of our Student Council will “swap” schools with members of the North Posey Junior High School Student Council. The primary reason for the “swap” is for students from each school to experience the school climate. Upon our students’ return, there will be a debriefing exercise in which the students will discuss “things” they liked and those that they did not care for. They will be looking at things such as the schedule, the structure of the day, the subject areas, the facility, lunch, rules and regulations, and etc. After the debriefing, a report will be given to Mr. Funkhouser in an upcoming Student Council Advisory meeting. Tidbits of Information The Jr. Academic Super Bowl will be held at Washington JHS on Saturday, April 30. Students are working hard and are focused on the main theme for this year – Latin America. There will be a Parent Advisory Council meeting for parents on Thursday, April 14; and the topic will be a discussion on the school’s curriculum, especially the “honors” classes and the identifying criteria. Book trailers are being written by some of our 6th graders and recorded in Studio 92. They then become a part of the morning broadcasts. All three levels of the honor rolls have been posted and sent to both of the local papers. Check out the many pictures of students on the school’s Facebook page. Recently, pictures of a science lab and of the musical cast members were posted this past week. Presently, we have over 190 “likes” on the page! We are averaging about 250 hits per posting! Mouse trap powered cars are being produced in Industrial Technology class. A mousetrap powered car is a vehicle that uses an old fashioned mouse trap for a motor. Upon completion, we will highlight this activity in a future newsletter with pictures.

Notes of encouragement do not go unappreciated “If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion,” quoted Dalai Lama. I realized that this random act of kindness assignment was a great opportunity to flilfill the urge to do something for a fellow classmate who has been unable to attend school because of a brain tumor. As I began to ponder what exactly I could do to possibly brighten his day, I realized that I wanted to do something for him not because it was assigned, but because it was something that I wanted to do. So, the thinking process began again to obtain an idea of someone else who may not feel as exceptional as they should. That’s when the thought of school faculty popped into my mind. The members of school faculties do an extreme amount for students, and it usually goes unnoticed. So, my goal became to show the faculty how valued they genuinely are. When contemplating what to do to prove their importance, the decision to write thirty-two thank you notes from an anonymous source and place them within random mailboxes at school, seemed as though it would be the finest idea to show just how much they truly are appreciated. So, I hand wrote every last card and snuck down to the office to

complete my objective. Though I did not have the opportunity to observe the reactions as the cards were torn open, I have high hopes that someone felt significant. I hope someone was able to come to the realization that even though it is not said enough, students do appreciate and respect them. Enclosed within the card was a short passage about random acts of kindness. I also anticipate this to be the inspiration for other acts of kindness to occur. However, my prime hope is that this gesture was able to bring joy to someone’s day. As for me, the truth lies within the quote mention above. When I showed compassion toward my mentors, I, in turn, felt a jolt of happiness rush through me. There is no other feeling quite like the one received when performing caring actions toward another. Knowing that a smile could have been brought to someone’s face even when they might have been experiencing a dark day is a remarkable sensation. Helping others is both beneficial to the receiver and the soul of the contributor. This has forever encouraged me to accomplish random acts of kindness as much as possible. Destiney Oeth Grade 10

Mount Vernon art students excel By Pam Robinson Mount Vernon High School visual arts teachers Kendra Glaser and Otis Huddleson are proud of, but not surprised by, their students’ success. Most recently, Mount Vernon High School, or MVHS, students won 10 awards on Thursday, March 17, at the regional 48th Annual High School Art Show held at the Evansville Museum of Arts, History & Science. In drawing, MecKenzie Heckman won third. In graphic design, Johnny Rye won second. In mixed media, Jami Hollar won third. In photography, Dalton Marshall won first. In textiles, Amanda Kester won third, Erica Martin won second, and Sabrina Hollar won first. Cassie Thompson, Carissa Hoskins, and MecKenzie Heckman won merit awards. Mount Vernon showcased 17 finalists, with the most accepted in the show, and won the most awards of all schools represented. Winning at the regional high school art show has been the norm, though, for MVHS students—at least since 1994 when Huddleson started teaching at the high school. “We’ve had winners every year,” he says, and notes the winners display a variety of visual art forms. An MVHS graduate who started her teaching career at her alma mater in 1999, Glaser agrees with Huddleson that their students’ hard work produces consistently high marks, not only in regional art shows but also in national competitions. Their students routinely win scholarships also to such prestigious post-secondary art schools as Pratt, St. Francis and Savannah College. “We offer a consistent program, an understandable program,” Huddleson comments. “They know the steps that it takes. They see the other students, what’s ahead of them all the time. They know their work can pay off. When you’re sitting next to somebody who’s won a national award, it has a tendency to rub

off on you.” Glaser adds, “You’ve got to set that standard of work that is high quality.” Both teachers are excited about that the MVHS Fine Arts Academy will open its doors this fall to students outside the Metropolitan School District of Mount Vernon. They say their visual arts program is one of the bestkept secrets in the region, both for the courses offered in traditional and studio art and for those offered in digital and applied media. In fact, Huddleson expects his digital design classes to remain popular this year. “I’m now in the technology side of it. This is one of the biggest growing fields around for careers,” he says. “This is offering students the aesthetic, love of creation side, but it’s also offering them a good paying career.” He notes that some of these positions provide sixfigure salaries. Students enjoy the MVHS Art Guild as well. Open to all students enrolled in at least one visual arts class, the guild supports students in their work through scholarships and field trips as well as in bringing in such accomplished artists as Laine Benthall, Ivy DeKemper and Daniel Knight—all MVHS alumni. To give back to the community, the guild participates in such projects as painting the mural for the Posey Humane Society and providing the ceramics for the Mount Vernon Relay for Life survivor dinner. The public is invited to see the results of the students’ hard work for themselves during the MVHS Spring Art Show, Monday and Tuesday, May 16 and 17, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and again Monday evening, May 16, from 6 to 8 p.m. “Art adds so much to your life,” Glaser says. “It’s such a part of our history and our self-expression.” Certainly, the arts are helping to create a rich environment for Mount Vernon students ad residents.

For years, I have driven around with a “Kids First” license plate on my car. That phrase pretty much sums up my stance on education reform. Legislation offered this session has provided a dramatic and a definitive focus on how we reform schools and put children first. Much of the school reform offered provides opportunities for strengthening our state as a leader in educating for the future of America. School reform has not been easy. Being an educator advocating for school reform has not been easy, but knowing that at the heart of this reform effort, we will see a state focused solely on providing a better future for our youth has. I understand the fear educators have over some of the proposed reforms. Information available, both accurate and inaccurate, has certainly been abundant. As a state, we must recognize that if Indiana wishes to have a 21st Century economy that can compete with the world, we must have a system that adequately prepares our students. Proposed legislation in Senate Bill 1 would require local schools to develop fair, meaningful, annual evaluations that consider many factors, with one key factor being student learning, to identify our best teachers and principals. Each local school corporation must develop a rubric, tool and plan for performance evaluations based on guidelines; such as evaluations need to be annual and evaluations must be significantly informed by objective measures of student achievement or growth. Local school corporations would decide how they choose to measure student performance and growth. The State Board would develop a menu of options for schools to choose from to meet this requirement. Standardized tests would not be a required component for a teacher’s evaluation, but rather be one of many options. The decision would ultimately be left up to the local school corporation. Once evaluations were created and implemented, school leaders could use them to reward teachers with promotions and salary increases. Legislation would allow local leaders more flexibility in determining how to pay education professionals. The bill removes the current state salary schedule, increment provisions and degrees held language from statute. However, the proposal does not cut salaries,

so no one loses what they currently have; increases are just no longer guaranteed. Senate Bill 575 grants more flexibility and authority to local school corporations. This legislation would allow leaders in our schools the ability to hire the teachers that will best meet the needs of that school and not be forced to hire and fire teachers based solely on seniority and degrees held. While both Senate Bill 1 and Senate Bill 575 still need some vetting in the legislative process to have me fully on board, I do agree with the premise and intention of them and will work hard to improve upon these bills. We must pass legislation that allows students to choose the environment where they will best be able to grow. House Bill 1002 enables charter schools to prosper by removing many of the barriers that have prohibited charter school expansion. Charter schools simply provide more opportunities for children. My support for this bill is deeply rooted in my desire to give the most disadvantaged children in our state the opportunity to choose the educational environment that best meets their needs. We are lucky in Southern Indiana to have school corporations that work in harmony with charter, private and parochial schools. I want to point to two public charter schools in Evansville, Joshua Academy and Signature School. Neither of these schools has damaged public education or created a negative effect on our community. On the contrary, both of these charter schools have contributed significantly to the betterment of the community and have provided significant opportunities for the youth in our region. I want to emphasize that charter schools are public schools, which will employ public school teachers. Without this bill, I feel we would have significantly undermined the mission of educating all Indiana youth. I feel it is our mission to give students the vehicles they need to be successful. This bill gives all students the chance to succeed regardless of the circumstances they have been given. It is my mission to see us provide all Indiana youth with high quality education that will serve them throughout their life. The time has come for comprehensive education reform and Indiana is leading the way. It is disappointing to see the true intention of these bills lost in rhetoric, but I firmly believe that these efforts are the right choice for our state and put kids first.

opposing it can bring up a point of view that no one has even thought about. Suddenly, it doesn’t look as solid as it once did.” The vote is then taken among the group and if it passes, it then goes on to the Senate floor. The author presents the bill and it can be changed or amended. A third reading is then held and the entire Senate floor votes on the measure. If it advances through the senate side, it goes to the house side and goes through the entire process all over again. If it passes both sides, it goes to the governor’s desk. Just because you read that it has passed the house or the senate, does not mean that it is ready to become a law. Tomes said he explained the process to a receptive group at Marrs Elementary earlier in the week and that one of the Marrs groups will be going to the Capitol on May 6 to see how it works, in person. The “Smoking Ban” which was recently heard at the state level has been put on the back burner. Tomes said the key to protecting children from smoke belongs to the parents. Tomes said he believes that parents should be held accountable for their children. Tomes also pointed out that while not trying to make non-passage of the bill a selling point, taxes on tobacco products are the fourth-highest source of revenue in the state and if that revenue is taken away, at some point, it will have to be made up somewhere else. He also pointed out that there are tobacco farmers who depend on the revenue from their crops. “I just don’t like the idea of the government stepping in and telling us what we can and cannot do,” Tomes said. “Often the citizens of the community have the ability to do more than the government. I don’t want to relegate all our own authority and power over to the government.” During the meeting, McNamara received good news that state revenues are up $32 million above revenue targets from December 2010. Sales tax revenues are up $24 million above collections from the same period last year. Individual income taxes are up $48 million over last year. She said that she has been told the additional funds will be spent in the area of education. As is the case at almost every level of government, education and spending for education

was a primary topic with McNamara spending considerable time explaining that her “school funding” bill, worth about $646,000 to Mount Vernon and about an equal amount to North Posey has, so far, has not gotten a hearing in the Senate. “I had to go to the house Ways and Means Committee and say ‘Are you kidding?’,” McNamara said. “You are hurting our schools with the way the funding is going now and now you want to kill this only chance they have for some funds.” McNamara said the committee agreed to put it in the budget. The question of charter schools was addressed and McNamara shared her expertise on the subject. She said she has never supported the idea of vouchers because they do nothing to help those who are in the most need. She explained that those in need would not be able to come up with the difference to pay for the private/parochial school education. She explained that charter schools are public schools that may be attended by any student regardless of the income level. They are specialized schools that focus on getting a child out of a destitute situation and gives them a chance that they might otherwise not have had. McNamara runs a “charter” school in Evansville that is located at Ivy Tech and it focuses on students who would be the first in their family to attend college. They come from low income families and the school helps get them into a school where they stay in an effort to defeat the cycle of poverty. “We’ll accept any child but you have to have motivation to stay,” McNamara said. “Just this week, I have 62 students, 30 of those students as freshmen in high school took the entrance exam into Ivy Tech and all 30 passed. They will be able to start taking college classes next year.” McNamara said a “charter” school offers some flexibility to help some students who would otherwise fall through the cracks in the public school system. Currently, charter schools are not completely funded by the state. The new bill would alleviate that circumstance. The legislators will return to Indianapolis on Monday and continue playing “catch-up” throughout the remainder of the session.

OPINION

Simple fair play would be bonus in cell phone world Editor’s note: If read in the intended context, it is likely you might detect a note of sarcasm while reading this column. I can remember a time long ago when the telephone TRUTH... company had pretty much a STRANGER monopoly on the product and THAN what they said was the rule. FICTION But thank goodness, some- BY DAVE one finally saw the light and PEARCE allowed competition in the telephone industry and home telephone bills finally became affordable and service improved. If recent experience is any indication, someone is going to have to step in and help consumers in the cellular phone industry, as well. I’m not sure how much experience you have had with your cellular phone company but I have had more than my share. For at least 20 years, I have been paying for at least five lines on my monthly statement and with the invention of “smartphones” and all that comes with them, keeping the rising monthly phone bill paid has been no easy task. There was a time when it seemed there were two major carriers in this area and they each wanted your business. You could go to one store and the other store would usually match the deal you got with the other carrier. That way you had a choice. But now, the big cell phone companies have the public right where they want us. And with the largest company attempting to buy out another of the top five, it will put an even greater squeeze on the consumer. Believe it or not, there was a time when you could call your cellular phone provider and actually talk to a real person. Those days are gone unless you are having trouble giving them your credit card number in order to make another payment. When that is the case, they will give you the option of asking for a real person, but only after you have listened to 10 or 15 minutes of “If you want this, please press 1. If you want that, please press 2. And on and on…” And then I love the part when they finally put you on hold and tell you “your call is very important to us.” What a joke. If my call was indeed very important, perhaps someone would have actually answered it. “Your call is very important to us” is usually followed by “your call will be answered in the order it was received. Your estimated hold time is 15 minutes.” And, yes, over the course of holding, you will hear them tout their website 20 to 30 times. If you use that “convenience,” they have to pay no one. But my most favorite is when a recording comes on the line and says “you have called at a peak time. Please hang up and try your call again on Tuesday morning between the hours of 9:30 and 10 a.m.” Excuse me…we have jobs too! Our employers don’t necessarily rejoice when they see us sitting on hold on a cell phone for 20 minutes or hearing us discuss “upgrade dates or new plans” with the cell phone company representative, who generally seems to have just arrived in the States from Pakistan or Uganda. I can’t understand them and they can’t understand me. And the term “upgrades” bring me to a

whole new level of frustration. After nearly 20 years as a paying monthly customer, my cell phone company has come up with a great benefit plan for me. After signing up for another two years of service with them (not one year, mind you, but two), they will agree to sell me a $39 cell phone for only $59. That is my “reward” or “upgrade option” for being such a faithful paying customer. Of course, that does not cover the newest for of instant case, the “upgrade fee.” That fee is now charged when out of the goodness of their hearts they allow you to buy that $39 phone for only $59. That is, of course, plus all applicable taxes and other miscellaneous charges. Now, should you decide that you would like to have an option to change carriers in less than two years, boy do they have a plan for you. They will now charge you $259 for the $39 phone that they were going to allow you to have for only $59. What a deal! I’ve often wondered if there’s a limit on how many of those $259 phones I can buy or if there is a limited supply. And to think, I get all these benefits for the opportunity to sign another contract to use their grossly overpriced phone service for another two years. But as I learned recently, whatever you do, don’t go in on April 12 when your twoyear contract is not up until April 13. They look at you like you are a total moron. I wonder if that was training done by the phone company or if some of these people actually were born with looks like they give you. “Your contract is not up until April 13,” one told me recently. “Yes, I am aware of that,” I told the clerk. “But that’s tomorrow and I figured I would come on in for the ‘upgrade special.’ I figure I will probably need some healing time before I will be able to talk on my new phone.” She did not see the humor. “You can look around but should you buy it today, it will be $259. If you wait until tomorrow, you can come back and get it for $59,” she said with a puzzled look on her face. She then turned and called the next number so the next lucky customer could find out what they had earned for their loyal service. And don’t forget, your loyal service also entitles you to an insurance plan for the phone you have just purchased. If you agree to pay a monthly insurance fee for the phone and it doesn’t do what it is made to do, they will give you another one just like it. Of course, that is ONLY if you have the insurance plan. Without the insurance, we start back at the $259 price plan again. I honestly don’t see how they stay in business with deals and plans such as these. They really should be investigated. I have come to a decision. I don’t like the phone company’s transmission waves going through my airspace or across my property. I may not have much left but I do have an acre or so and I have the air that I breathe. How do I know that too many of their “waves” is not hazardous to my health? I have read that holding a cell phone to your ear increases

the likelihood of cancer. And, the flashing light at the top of their tower behind my house is annoying, as well. That being said, I’d like to enter negotiations with the phone company. Using pure cell phone company logic, I will allow them to continue to send their waves across my property and through my airspace for only $100 per month, assuming of course, they want to use my space on a monthly basis. As a protective for the phone company, we can go to a yearly plan. The yearly plan is $1500 as the property taxes

on my acre and air space are likely to go up over the course of the coming year. That higher rate is available only for the phone company’s protection. Insurance is available at an additional charge and if taxes do not go up in a given year, you owe me no more money than our original agreement. I once thought Jesse James, politicians, lawyers, and used car salesmen had reputations. When you think it through, none of them hold a candle to the companies who provide the service and the phones you are holding to your ear.

Letters to the Editor Time matters when it is your crisis It started out like this. A friend said… ”Mike- some crazy guy crashed his truck into the tree in front of your Mom’s house and he’s staggering around the house right now!” Minutes away, he and I rushed there and sure enough- there’s a decent looking late model pickup truck plowed into a maple tree in what appears to be a low-speed sort of impact, a rifle on the seat, and no driver in sight. The setting is rural- a mile or so from Griffin. The antenna start to wiggle. We call 911 and, knowing the right thing to do is probably sit tight until the sheriff arrives, we go nonetheless to see if we can find this fellow. Sure enough, in a barn we find a young man standing there smoking a cigarette…. almost completely incoherent. He was nonthreatening but completely uncooperative and couldn’t give us more than a name and a mumbled explanation of “it had been a tough night”. Some pitiful drunk, right? Or scarier, a guy strung out on some kind of drugs I know nothing about. At any rate- a bum you would be right to stay way away from, maybe threaten with a gun or forcibly remove from your property, right? We couldn’t have been more wrong. By the time the first responders arrived (our Griffin Volunteer Firefighters) he had collapsed and was completely unresponsive. With no medical identification bracelet and unable to respond to questions all anyone really knew was that his heart was racing, his blood pressure was OK, and that he didn’t smell of alcohol. As First Responders, and not EMT’s, all our Firefighters could do was monitor his vitals, wait for the ambulance, and be ready if he required CPR. Here’s the amazing part. When two highly competent EMT’s arrived on the scene it took them only a few minutes to determine this drug-crazed trespasser, this man who had wrecked his truck and was stumbling around our property, had a blood sugar level in the 20s, was in diabetic shock, and was close to dying. Within minutes of an

IV drip he was able to speak. In 10 minutes he was up. What emerged was a fine young man, a member of our community, whose only mistake was a lapse in managing a health condition which affects 8.3% of the population of our country. (according to the American Diabetes Association website) By the grace of God we found him in time and he was strong enough to have survived until help arrived. So what are the lessons to be learned? Several: Here’s the big one. Diabetes is, sadly, becoming a very common disease in America. Some say an epidemic. We all need to learn more about what happens when things go wrong for a diabetic, how to recognize the symptoms, and how you can help. That www. diabetes.org website looks like a good place to start. We really need to keep an open mind when a person acts erratically- don’t be stupid or ignore the obvious- but keep in mind the person you might dismiss as some strungout junkie may actually be a neighbor in severe medical distress. Next….if you are a diabetic for heaven’s sake wear some identification! A little bit of knowledge and a glass of orange juice might be all it takes to avert a crisis. And finally, whoever thinks closing down the north Posey County 24 hour ambulance service is a reasonable way to save money has never waited by the side of a road waiting for medical help. It took over 15 minutes from our 911 request until medical help arrived. I know for a fact it takes a half hour to drive from my house to the Black Township Fire station where presumably an ambulance would be dispatched should we lose our coverage for Bethel Township. None of us are getting any younger, and if heart attack, stroke, or the diabetic shock I described occurs that is just an awfully long time to wait. Mike Mumford Griffin, Ind.

Planned Parenthood debate continues I am writing in response to Pastor William F. Ping’s Letter to the Editor in the March 22 issue of The Posey County News. Pastor Ping stated he does not believe that Personhood with a soul begins at conception, quoting one lone verse from scripture. I encourage anyone else who also believes this to Google “pro life scripture” on your computer where you could read for hours on this subject. Does any Christian out there re-

ally believe that the unborn John the Baptist did not afready have a soul after reading the following verse: Luke Chapter 1 vs. 41-44 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed,”. . . As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.” Deanna Goossens

Gavel Gamut’s “Ringed Tale” When we returned to JPeg Ranch last weekend Peg exclaimed, “Oh, Jim, look at those cute animals!” A family of raccoons was exiting our garage via the pet door. Oliver, our watch cat who decimates our song bird population, was languidly watching the “cute and furry” marauders stuffing themselves with cat food. Why is it that cat cannot stay on task? Oliver never deigns to catch moles or voles and, apparently, raccoons are not in his job description either. Actually, I was not that concerned myself as I watched the momma and her two youngsters waddle slowly away. I had to admit, they looked as harmless as stuffed animals at a fair. Then night came. The next morning I opened the sliding door from our bedroom out onto the deck. I found three piles, one large and two small, of raccoon guano. Now it was my turn to exclaim, “Peg, look at this! Do you think this is cute?” “No, I don’t, so please clean it up right away.” What law says men clean up raccoon deposits? It must be found in the same section of the marriage code containing the provision on taking out the trash. After the evidence had been removed, I casually mentioned it might be a good idea if those raccoons

had a rendezvous with destiny via my 20 gauge. Peg went all namby-pamby on me. “Don’t you dare! There has to be a humane way to handle this.”

GAVEL GAMUT BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE The next day we went to the Church Street Coffee Shop in New Harmony where I sought the advice of several self-proclaimed experts on racoonology. There was a plethora of suggestions, each of which carried a guarantee of immediate success. “Soak rags with ammonia and lay them out where the raccoons defecate.” I bought a gallon of ammonia and filched three of Peg’s dish towels. I went to bed that night with a sense of peace brought about by diligent preparation put to use. The next morning there was a large deposit right on one of the towels. Another expert suggested moth balls. I tried them; it looked like they were used by the raccoons for putting practice. They were probably watching the Masters Golf Tournament through our bedroom window as they munched on free cat food.

“Try wolf urine,” said one caffeine crazed contributor. Wolf urine, I thought. Who collects that? Now that’s a job that will make you grateful for what you have. Anyway, I bought some certified wolf urine spray (I did not attempt to verify the claims). When I sprayed this concoction on the deck I asked myself whether this was an upgrade from the raccoon droppings. Regardless, the raccoons must have decided this was simply further evidence that our deck was supposed to be their latrine. That was it for me. I grabbed my shotgun and waited in the dark for hours. The raccoons did not appear, but Peg kept saying, “They are just acting naturally. You can’t blame them.” I replied, “I do not wish to blame them, I want to shoot them!” I finally gave up and went to bed. In the morning I discovered the raccoons must have had a safety meeting as I stood sentry. Then after I sounded retreat they must have returned as more piles were left. Currently I am in the process of baiting “Havahart” live traps with crisp bacon. This probably won’t work either, but, maybe the bacon will violate their religious sensibilities as I am convinced they have been trained in the fine art of infiltration by experts.

Vikings top fifth-ranked Rebels to remain perfect in PAC By Dave Pearce The North Posey Vikings must know which games to win, at least that’s the way it appears early on in the season. The Vikings got off to a good start run-ruling South Knox. But on Thursday, the team moved to 3-2 on the young season with a big win over South Spencer to remain perfect (2-0) in the Pocket Athletic Conference. But Thursday’s win over the previously unbeaten and state-ranked Rebels was not without its share of . The game came down to the bottom of the seventh inning when, with the score tied at 6-all, the Vikings managed to push the winning run across the plate on a perfectly-executed squeeze bunt. Pinchrunner Colton Motz crossed the plate for the Vikings as hitter K.D. Patton laid down a perfect bunt and the Rebels were unable to get the out at the plate. North Posey opened the game well, scoring two in the first when pitcher Nick Scheller helped his own cause with a two-run homer. The Vikings picked up another run in the second before the Rebels came back with three in their half of the third. Senior Nathan Hall took Viking ace Scheller deep for two of the runs. But there is no quit in this group of Vikings under first-year coach Scott Reid. The Vikings retook their three-run lead in the bottom of the third when Jacob Bender hit a dinger with one on and the Vikings were

ahead 6-3 by inning’s end. But the Rebels were not going to go quietly as they scored three more runs in the top of the fifth inning when Hall homered again and the score was tied at six all. Viking junior pitcher Shane Neumann played the role of hero in the contest as he came in to pitch in the sixth inning and kept the game tied until he came up to bat in the bottom of the seventh. He reached base on a throwing error and gave way to pinch runner Motz. Motz stole second and advanced to third on a hit to set up the final piece of drama. “Shane Neumann is just a great story all the way around,” Viking Coach Scott Reid said following the contest. “A year ago, he was battling cancer and now, he is back playing baseball. And he is improving all the time.” Neumann spent several months at Riley Hospital and has made numerous trips back and forth for treatment over the past two years. But while Neumann got the save, Reid credited his senior ace Scheller for grinding it out on a day when he “probably didn’t have his best stuff.” “The whole team is this way,” Reid said. “They just like to grind it out. They are never out of a ballgame as long as there is an out left.” Colton Martin was the starting catcher but Wes Harness came in behind the plate to

Posey golfers reign on Vincennes tourney parade Wildcats take title, North Posey ties for second, Krohn finishes second By Steve Joos How important is the home field advantage in golf? Important enough to lift the Mount Vernon Wildcats past the state’s fifth-ranked boys’ link team last week. Kyle Sheffer shot a twounder par 34 and Trevor Grant turned in a one-over 35, both of which may have been the difference as the Cats opened their season by edging Harrison 153-154 at Western Hills. Sheffer and Grant’s scores were sandwiched around a one-under 35 by the Warriors’ Jordan Wielt, and it gave the Wildcats an early three-stroke lead in the team standings. Grant was two strokes of

Harrison’s number two man (Sean Stone with a 39), while Andrew Higgins fired a 40 and matched the third Warrior score, turned in by Alex Turner. Joe Reinitz rounded out the Mount Vernon foursome with a 42. Sheffer and Grant’s scores also held up, even though Harrison’s 3-4 men (Turner and Seth Ferguson) each carded 40s. The Cats were a stroke better than both Vincennes and North Posey Saturday, as they won the Vincennes Invitational with a 322, compared to 323 for both the Vikings and Alices. Grant and Sam Key paced Mount Vernon at the Vincennes Invitational, each firing eight-over par 78s, while

Sheffer and Higgins each shot 83s. Not only did the Vikings tie the host Alices for second in the 14-team tourney, but Dylan Krohn tied for second overall with a 74. Alex Wade shot a 79, Ty Butler an 83 and Clint Cox an 87 to round out the North Posey foursome. Conditions weren’t the best for golf Tuesday, but the North Posey boys’ golf team had enough to nip the homesteading South Spencer Rebels 232-234 at Rockport’s Rustic Country Club. Having to work around renovation work at the club also led to some lackluster scoring for the Vikings, according to coach Levi Cox. “Rustic Country Club is

Register to "Become an Outdoors Woman" Attention women who already love outdoor sports. Attention women would like to try them. Attention women who want to improve their ability to do them under expert supervision and instruction. Your place is the Becoming an Outdoors-Woman workshop, April 29-May 1, at Ross Camp in West Lafayette. The 17th annual workshop is limited to the first 100 women, 18 years old or

older, who register at www. indianabow.com. The fee is $175. The program is designed for women to learn outdoor skills in a relaxed, low-pressure environment. Activities range from shooting clay targets, paddling a canoe, catching a trophy bass, becoming a campfire gourmet cook, making a fur hat, and spotting rare wild birds, to learning to call turkey. Participants design their own outdoor experience to

match their interests. The workshop is for women who have never tried these activities, but have hoped for an opportunity to learn; who have tried them but are beginners hoping to improve; or know how to do some of the activities, but would like to try new ones. Women who enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded individuals and who seek time away to reconnect with nature are also prime candidates for BOW.

By Steve Joos There’s one thing that both North Posey track coaches agree on as the Vikings get ready for the new season. Both teams are working hard. “They’re working really hard,” boys’ coach Kevin Gengelbach said. “We’ve got some new kids who are out there doing some good things. Of course, we have some kids coming back like Hunter Motz and Mitchell Kuhn who are doing a nice job for us.” And what about the girls? “We’ve looked really good,” coach Leah Stormont said. “They’ve worked hard. We haven’t had the perfect weather to train, but no one has. They’ve been working hard at it.” Both teams appear to have potential in most of the events and considerable strength in others. Motz will be among the top boys’ distance runners in the area, while Kuhn will contribute in the sprints and field events. Gengelbach is also optimistic about throwers like Kurt Seibert, Austin Little and Tim East, each of whom is doing fairly well in practice. Gengelbach thinks the mix will be helpful. “We’re hopeful that we’ll be able to compete in everything,” the coach said. “Hunter Camp is back in the hurdles, we’ve got a freshman running the hurdles, Butch Dessauer. Nick Neidig’s out this year and is probably going to run the 800-meters and do some field events and Wes Conner is back out in the 800. We’re hopeful we can be able to compete in everything, and of course, Hunter’s going to be back in the distance events for us.” The boys will work on each event for the season and they’ve told the team that how they start isn’t as important as how they finish. They will try to work on improving all year, the coach said, adding that the coaches want to see the times drop and the distances go up. The Vikings’ schedule won’t be an easy one, as they will run against a number of Evansville schools, Mount Vernon, Gibson Southern and Princeton. “Our schedule’s not easy,” Gengelbach said. “It’s tough to single out one school. They’re all pretty tough.” The Vikings want to compete for the Pocket Athletic Conference championship and do well in the Sectional, the coach said, adding that some of the individuals on the squad are hoping to overcome the levels where they seemed to plateau last year. As for the girls, Stormont is pleased more than just the team’s work ethic. “We have Meagan Bender coming back again for the 400,” the coach said. “We have some throwers who have been throwing for two or three years and hopefully, they’ll be doing well in that, in Mary Gibbs, Whitney Simms and Caitlin Herrmann. We’ve got some freshmen coming in who should do well; McKenzie Orlick in the sprints should do that very well, and Emma Werry in the hurdles. We’ve got some new kids out for the first time who are doing well and working hard in practice.” Freshman Olivia Goebel and junior Jessica Smith will be the team’s top two distance runners, Stormont added. Like the boys, the Lady Vikings need get just a little bit better each time out. They need to get a little bit faster or throw just a little bit further or jump higher, Stormont said. And just like the boys, Stormont doesn’t see many pushovers on the North Posey schedule. “Everybody’s tough for us,” she said. “There’s not one particular competitor. Everybody’s tough out there.” Stormont wants the Lady Vikings to have a good time and become a team this season. She wants them to beat more teams than they did last year and perhaps just as important, she wants them to better themselves as the season progresses. And both coaches hope each team will keep working hard in practice.

a course that requires local knowledge. That, along with cold and blustery conditions, did not lead to optimal scoring for the boys,” the coach said. “Nevertheless, any time you play a course like Rustic and walk away with a win, we try not to hang our head too much.” Alex Wade shook off the tough conditions and carded a team-best 41, while Ty Butler and Dylan Krohn each shot 45s. Clint Cox rounded out the Viking foursome with a 46. Individual medalist Sam Hayes paced the Rebels with a 39. Coach Cox was pleased with the efforts of his second and third golfers, despite shooting higher than he expected. They both battled down the stretch to register their scores, he added. “I know the kids are disappointed with their performances, but there are positives that can be taken away from this, other than the victory,” Cox said. “I’m happy for Alex to see a few results out of the gate this season. we have been working on a few things to tighten up his game and even though he was slightly disappointed Mount Vernon golfer Kyle Sheffer chips onto the green with his score, definitely had some positives to take away during Thursday’s golf match with Harrison at Western Hills Country Club.

Arena Calvert hits double digits in ‘Clash’ North Posey’s Cameron Calvert was one of three Indiana All-Stars to score in double digits Friday as the stars from Southwestern Indiana smacked their Illinois counterparts 8266 in the “Clash on the Wabash” at Wabash Valley College in Mount Carmel. Calvert hit five field goals as the Indiana stars went on a 23-4 rampage in the third quarter to break open a close game, turning a 43-42 halftime led into a 66-46 bulge after three quarters. Calvert’s Vikings teammate, Dillon Davenport, scored four points for Southwestern Indiana, whose coaching staff included Vikings’ mentor Matt Wadsworth. Dontray Chavis scored 23 points for the Indiana stars, while the game’s most Valuable player for the Hoosier State side Jalen Packer, put in 16. Both Chavis and Packer represented Princeton. Lawson Warren of Carmi led the Illinoisans with 17 points and was the team MVP. The girls made it a sweep for Indiana with a 64-50 victory in the preliminary. Lady Vikings’ coach Tracy Stroud directed the Southern Indiana girls.

Davenport, Steinhart second team all-area picks Posey County is represented by two players on the AllSoutheastern Indiana boys’ basketball team, unveiled last Sunday by the Evansville Courtier and Press. Well, since Washington’s in Daviess County, that’s probably to be expected. Mount Vernon and North Posey each have a second team all-area pick, as Dillon Davenport represents the Vikings and Jacob Steinhart represents the Wildcats. A six-foot senior, Davenport averaged 12.9 points and three rebounds per game in helping the Vikings to a runnerup finish in the Class 2A Sectional and the Pocket Athletic Conference. A six-foot-six inch senior, Steinhart averaged 19.9 points and 7.1 rebounds per contest for the Wildcats. He was the team’s leading scorer in most of their contests and earned a spot on the All-Carmi Invitational Tournament team while helping the Cats to a second straight CIT title. Jalen Packer of Princeton, Kendall Viecke of Vincennes Rivet and Grant Welp of Forest Park round out the second team. As for the first unit, it’s mostly Hatchets, as the two-time Class 3A state champs have two selections in Cody Zeller and Kurtis Arnold. The Indiana-bound Zeller is Indiana’s Mr. Basketball and the area Player of the Year while Washington mentor Gene Miiller is the Coach of the Year. Nathan Bromm, whose last-second bucket broke the Vikings’ hearts at Boonville, represents the Forest Park Rangers on the all-area first team, while Princeton’s Rontray Chavis and Boonville’s Ryan Helfert round out the squad.

Diamond Rappites split Illinois pair The New Harmony baseball team traveled across the Wabash last week and opened their season with a spilt, losing at Wayne City Friday night 7-3, after posting a 3-1 win at Bluford Webber in the season opener. The Rappites were limited to seven hits by Indians pitching Friday night, with Kyle Whitmore collecting two of them. He also struck out six while yielding seven hits in six innings as the Rappites’ hard-luck loser. Dan Tron finished up on the mound for New Harmony. Andrew McDaniel threw five scoreless innings Thursday as the Rappites opened their season by beating Webber Township 3-1 at Bluford. Thomas Kris Steagall mopped up for McDaniel and gave up the Bulldogs’ only run of the day. The freshman also helped his own cause with a double. Zach Sollman and Kris Scarfia each collected two hits for New Harmony, while senior Stephen Murray collected the first hit of his high school career. Sollman, Whitmore and McDaniel each drove in runs. The Rappites’ doubleheader at Tecumseh set for Saturday was rained out.

Lady Wildcats can’t always get the bats going The Mount Vernon softball team has gotten fairly good pitching so far this season and they’ve had more than capable defense. But the bats were a problem last week, as the Lady Wildcats saw their record even up at 2-2 with losses at Washington Saturday and Boonville Thursday night. Mount Vernon dropped a 4-2 decision at Washington Saturday. Sophomore Mackenzie Stratton gave up a run in each of the first four innings before giving way to Brooke Webber in the sixth. Both hurlers scattered nine hits, but didn’t get a lot of support from their teammates when it was Mount Vernon’s turn at the plate. Thee Lady Wildcats only managed six blows and were shut out until they pushed across a pair of runs in the top of the seventh inning. Boonville brought the young Lady Cats back to earth Thursday night, scoring five runs in the bottom of the third and another five in the bottom of the fifth to nail down a 10-0 victory under the 10-run rule. The Lady Cats were 2-2 on the year heading into Monday’s Mount Vernon senior Logan Pace rounds the corner county battle with North Posey. during his leg of the 4x100 relay at the first meet of the Last week’s losses not only brought Mount Vernon back to earth a bit after the Lady Cats opened the year with two wins, season against visiting Harrison.

they also dropped the team to 0-2 in the Big Eight Conference. The Lady Cats posted a recent 19-3 victory at Bosse in five innings under the 10-tun rule. Stratton and Webber combined to pitch a four-hitter, while the entire lineup contributed offensively and defensively, coach Jeff Crabtree said.

Scarafia, Calvert are Academic All-State Two Posey County boys’ basketball players gave received honorable mentions on the Indiana Basketball Coaches’ Association’s Academic All-State team. Kris Scarafia of New Harmony and Cameron Calvert of North Posey were named to the honorable mention list, which recognizes the success of student-athletes in the classroom and on the floor, according to the IBCA. There were 76 boys and 105 girls chosen as honorable mentions by the IBCA in addition to the 61 players (30 boys and 31 girls) named to the Academic All-State squad. IBCA member coaches from around the state nominate their seniors who have met the Association’s criteria for the team, which includes a grade-point average of 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale, a rank in the top 25 percent of one’s class, an SAT score of 1,500 or an ACT score of 23. Nominees also need to have been starters in 90 percent of their team’s games when physically able. Scarafia and Calvert were nominated by their coaches (Jim Little of New Harmony, and Matt Wadsworth of North Posey, respectively).

Wildcat girls defeat Harrison, boys fall short in track opener By Steve Joos They may have been a little bit down at the outset of the season, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still Harrison and they did have boys track meets under their belts before invading Mount Vernon Tuesday. The Warrior boys reminded the Wildcats of just what the Evansville schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great tradition in track was with a 90-43 win, while the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meet went to the Lady Wildcats 73-59. The girls got their season off to a good beginning, according to coach Jackie Maier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very pleased,â&#x20AC;? Maier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great place to start, we just really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to expect. I think we had some surprises and I think we had some really good performances and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go from here.â&#x20AC;? Jenny Koch was one of the surprises, finishing second while clearing seven in her first shot at the pole vault. The team also got plenty of contributions from mainstays like Erica McCormick (first in the 800-meters), while newcomers like Koch and Lauren Stemple were part of a first-place 3,200-meter relay team which posted a time of 10:30, faster than anything turned in by last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad. Kate Cox had some strong competition in the sprints, but she was able to come away with a blue ribbon in the 200 (:22.45), She

couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overcome a rough start in the 100-dash and had to settle for third. She also won the long jump (14 feet, eight inches). Jenny Lyke was a double winner for the Lady Cats, picking up blue ribbons in the discus (76-8) and shot put (39-9), while Koch, Stemple and McCormick open the proceedings by teaming with Megan Randall to win the 3,200-relay, then closed things out by joining Kristen Gerst to capture the 1,600relay in 4:28. Ellen Foster rounded out the Mount Vernon contingent with a fourfoot, eight inch high jump and was part of a 1-2-3 long jump sweep with Cox and Lacey Johnson. Maier liked what she saw from the Lady Cats, but was quick to acknowledge that there was work to be done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m optimistic,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harrisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good team and this is the first time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve beaten them in a long time, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good win for us. We made some mistakes, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not in shape yet, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got plenty of time and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot to work on.â&#x20AC;? She was also pleased with the efforts of the freshmen and newcomers on the team. Boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coach Steve Brenton saw a lot of good things in his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance, even though, yes, they were up against Harrison, and this was the Warriorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fourth meet of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleased with a lot

of things,â&#x20AC;? Brenton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were close to 50 points (the Cats finished with 43). I know we got beat, but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember us scoring 50 points against Harrison in the last five years, so that was good to see. I know there were individual things that were good for us. Teddy Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell flung the disc 131 feet, eight inches for the Cats and that was a good throw for the season opener, according to the coach. Dustin Reubenacker had a six-foot, two-inch high jump and just missed at six-four, which was barely cleared by a Harrison jumper. Will Terbeck also fell victim to a late rally. After jumping 19-1 and one-half in the long jump, Terbeck was bumped to second when a Harrison jumper leapt 19-4. That cost the senior a second blue ribbon after he claimed first in the 200-dash (:23.46). And Ken Renshaw did his thing, winning the 1,600meters (4:47.8) and the 3,200 (10:50.05). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not much of a surprise,â&#x20AC;? Brenton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward to (Hunter) Motz and that North Posey meet. Will Terbreck won the 200. Anytime you can win a sprint against an Evansville school, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing good, so that was encouraging to see.â&#x20AC;? Freshman Micahel Cannato provided another highlight with a time of 54

seconds in the 400-meters. Brenton said that Cannatoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time was a good for a freshman, while Terbeckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high jump was also good for early in the season. Reubenacker and Tim Davis finished out of the running against the Warriors, but their times would earn them places in the conference meet, Brenton added. Those performances, if they improve, could pay dividends for the Wildcats somewhere down the road, Brenton said.

Lady Vikings are ‘homered’ vs. Titans, beat Lady Marksmen By Dave Pearce The ability to bounce back. Not only does it show character but it also builds it. The North Posey Lady Vikings have learned in this murderous stretch they call the opening of their softball schedule. With expectations high for the Lady Vikings this season and success being measured only by wins and losses, the Lady Vikings would appear to be having a lackluster early season. But considering the caliber of the competition they have faced in their first three games, the Lady Vikings aren’t in bad shape at all. North Posey Coach Gary Gentil pointed that out to the team this week as they finished the week on a high note, run-ruling Tell City to pull to 3-3 on the year and 2-1 in the Pocket Athletic Conference. The Lady Vikings have had their opportunities in every contest but despite their experience, they opened the year with a bullseye on their backs, considering they advanced to the Class 2A semi-state last year. After a disappointing season-opening 1-0 loss to North, the Lady Vikings came back in impressive to defeat previously 6-0 Henderson County by a 3-2 count last week. They followed that with a narrow 5-4 loss to Carmi, Ill., generally one of the area’s better softball teams. But again, they were able to fight back. They were able to open this week with an impressive 4-0 win over the South Spencer Rebels in Reo, scoring their runs against one of the better pitchers in the area. But on Thursday against Gibson Southern, the Vikings were up against one of the strongest programs in this part of the state. They held their own, had their chances, but again came up on the short end of a 7-2 score. “After that game, we had a positive team

meeting and the girls really came back out tonight positive for us,” Gentil said after the Vikings dominated Tell City on Friday night. “They took everything to heart. You could tell when they were warming up that they had taken everything to heart and were in the right mindset.” Against the Titans, Gibson Southern took and early 2-0 lead only to have the Vikings battle back. In the top of the fourth, the Vikings got themselves out of a huge jam as the Lady Titans loaded the bases with only one out. However, behind the pitching of Shelley Schmitt and good defense, the Vikings got out of the inning without surrendering a run. Then, trailing 2-0 in the bottom of the fourth, senior Kendyl Ahrens led off the inning with a double while hot-hitting Lisa Garris doubled and Ahrens scored. Kelsey Everley then delivered a key shot that scored Garris from second and the Vikings were back in the ballgame. In the top of the fifth, the game got away from the Vikings. With two out and a runner on second, the Titans became aggressive on the bases. The runner stole third as catcher Morgan Stierley’s throw to Garris at third base was accurate but just a bit high as the runner slid under the tag. Then, on a full count, the Titans’ Haley Barton fouled off three consecutive Schmitt offerings before she connected solidly and homered over the left-centerfield fence to give the Titans a 4-2 lead. It was Barton’s second homer of the season and the team’s tenth. Twice, the Titans have scored more than 20 runs in games this season and five times, they have scored 14 or more runs in single games. But still, the Vikings were not done.

The Lady Vikings gather around Coach Gary Gentil for advice. Photo by Dave Pearce In the sixth inning, Ahrens again came up ment is a prime example of that.” Last season, the highly-regarded Knights with a big single to open the inning but the Vikings’ inability to get the big hits against were outdone by the Vikings in the chamthe area’s toughest competition hampered pionship game of their tournament as the Vikings continued improvement throughout the results. In the seventh, Barton got her second the year. “We always tell the girls that we don’t home run of the contest as she again homered, this time with two on and no outs. The have a weak schedule because we don’t want Vikings gave up no more runs in the inning a weak schedule,” Gentil said. “We want to but the Titans would not need them as the be prepared to play against good teams and Vikings were unable to produce any more know what to do in all the circumstances.” Gentil concluded be saying that so far this offense against the Gibson County team. But Viking Coach Gentil, although not season, his Vikings may have placed too thrilled with the loss, realizes there is a much pressure on themselves by trying to whole lot of games left in the season and that make everyone happy. “They may talk about rankings and talk on a given night, anything can happen. Both the Titans and the Vikings must still face the about what we did last year but that was last likes of top-ranked Forest Park as well as year,” Gentil said. “Now, we have to prove high-scoring Heritage Hills and a generally- all these things again. From day one, I have solid Pike Central squad before anyone can said we have a great bunch of girls who understand the game and know what we lay claim to a conference title. “The schedule we play in the early season are trying to do. I’m not worried about this makes us a better team,” Gentil said follow- group. We will right the boat and we will be ing the whitewash of Tell City. “At the end just fine. Tonight we really put the bat on the of the regular season, a schedule like this ball and made the big plays. We kept presmakes us physically and mentally ready to sure on them and Shelley kept the pressure play against anybody. The Castle tourna- on them all night.”

Wildcats show resiliency in comeback win over Memorial Choate took third on Jason Stemple’s hit and crossed the plate when on a single by Paris. Bo Harris struck out on a wild pitch, beat out the throw to first and stole second. Aaron Roberts singled in a run ahead of back-to-back doubles by River VanZant and Drake McNamara, which brought in there more runs and turned Mount Vernon’s deficit into a 12-10 lead. Jevin Redman walked and Doerflein hit into a force play to score McNamara with the last run of the inning. Despite the win, Quinzer was concerned about the inconsistency of the starting pitchers, most notably Hames, his left-hander. “Maybe we need to go back to work on some mechanics and see what we

can do,” the coach said. “He (Hames) is throwing his fastball well, but he’s having trouble with his breaking ball.” Hanging in was the big factor in Mount Verona ‘s comeback, Quinzer said, adding that the team seemed to chip away until the bottom of the sixth and that the young team will continue to be thrown out at the competition in the hope that doing so will make them stronger. Stemple, Roberts and VanZant each had two hits, while McNamara doubled in a pair of runs in the team’s sixth inning rally. Stemple and Roberts each collected a pair of RBIs, as well. Saturday’s doubleheader at Northview was rained out. The trip to Northview was

to have been the Cats’ second visit to the Terre Haute area in the first two weeks of the season. Mount Vernon splits its games in a rain-shortened visit to the Terre Haute South Braves’ Bash, dropping a 10-7 decision to the hosts Saturday afternoon after rallying from an early 7-1 deficit to hold off New Haven 9-8 in the first game of the day. “We played pretty decent,” Quinzer said. “Our starting pitching struggled. They had a lot of walks and free passes. Overall our hitters did a pretty good job.” And the win those sophomores contributed to Saturday morning? It just happened to be ranked first in the Class 3A pre-season state rankings.

Paris collected seven hits at Terre Haute, including three triples on the weekend. Roberts had five blows, including a triple and two doubles, while Doeferlein added four. VanZant and Redman each had two, with one of VanZant’s blows an inside-the-park home run. JUST ASK US, WE MIGHT HAVE IT.

half of which scored after two batters were retired. Ross Canada came in and stopped the bleeding giving up one run in three innings. Paris followed Troy Canada to the mound duplicated his efforts. While Canada and Paris were doing damage control, the Cats were chipping away at the plate, scoring a run in the bottom of the first and four more in the bottom of the fifth before cutting loose with one out in the sixth. The uprising started when Austin Doerflein walked, stole second and moved to third on an infield single by Canada. Aaron Choate reached on a dropped fly ball to right field, loading the bases, and then Stemple drove in two runs with a single, cutting the lead to 10-7.

By Steve Joos At one point in their home opener, things looked bleak for the Mount Vernon High School baseball team. The Wildcats dug a big hole early and scored a big comeback late Tuesday, scoring nine runs in the bottom of the sixth to overtake visiting Memorial 14-11. “We showed again that we have the ability to come back,” coach Paul Quinzer said. “We spotted Memorial eight runs in the first inning and we kept battling. It’s also nice to get nine runs in the bottom of the sixth. It shows that these boys don’t want to give up.” Once again, Mount Vernon’s starting pitching struggled, as Caleb Hames was roughed up for eight runs in the top of the first inning,

WWW.POSEYCOUNTYNEWS.COM

Devotion to home town has helped Beloat climb Mount Vernon Chief of Police Grant Beloat envisioned a career in law enforcement from an early age when he attended Indiana State Police summer camp for youth. Toward that end, he completed two associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degrees at Vincennes Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;one in law enforcement and one in security. After nearly six months as a security guard during the building of the current Mount Vernon Junior High School, he was hired to fill the open position of patrolman for the Mount Vernon Police Department, or MVPD, in October 1990. He was only 22 years old. In 1995, he was reassigned as a patrolman to the detective unit. His work captured the attention of city officials, and he was appointed chief of police on January 1, 2004. Since 2006, he has served on the board of directors for the Indiana Association of Chiefs of Police, specifically on their government relations committee. That designation has allowed Beloat to talk with Indiana state legislators

about issues that impact law enforcement and public safety. In addition, he is a member of the local Fraternal Order of Police lodge and a member of the National Association of Chiefs of Police. On his watch, Beloat has managed a successful campaign to better educate Mount Vernon residents, specifically students, about the role of law enforcement in the community. He has established the Neighborhood Watch program throughout the city to help residents protect themselves against criminal activity. In conjunction with the Safe Schools/Healthy Students program, he has conducted safety audits in the Mount Vernon schools and initiated school walk-throughs by police officers to increase the presence and visibility of law enforcement for our youth. He has accomplished his goal of creating accessibility to law enforcement through the exchange of such information as drug awareness and driving hazards. Beloat is a board member

for several local organizations: the Posey County Emergency Management Association, the Posey County Drug Free Task Force, Family Matters and United Way. He is also president of the Lions Club and a

member of the Posey County Community Foundation. A Mount Vernon native, Beloat is the son of David and Myrt Beloat, well-known for their work with Mount Vernon General Baptist Church.

David is a familiar face at the police department, where the GE retiree serves as part-time office manager on Thursdays and Fridays. Two classes away from earning his bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree

in business administration, Beloat finds little time for leisure activities other than rooting for the Colts as a season ticket holder. He also enjoys Anglican worship in Evansville.
