By Dave Pearce With 21 drug arrests not too long after taking office, Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers along with the Posey County Sheriff’s Department and local police agencies have been perhaps busier than they have ever been. But there’s another name to add to that list and that is Jonathan Parkhurst, the Chief Deputy prosecutor of Posey County. While Clowers and Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth are in high profile positions, Parkhurst is one of many who do work behind the scenes the public is not often aware of. But like the Posey County Sheriff’s deputies and members of the local police departments, Parkhurt goes to his job every day trying to
Rueger make Posey County a better place to live. With everyone’s help, the drug supply in Posey County, particularly methamphetamine, seems to be on the short side. That’s good news for all the men and women
Trapp who work to help make Posey County a safer place to live. “We had a couple of drug cases who entered guilty pleas this week,” Parkhurst said during an interview this week. “Robert Rueger,
a case that has taken over three years because he has had three different attorneys.” Parkhurst went on to explain that Rueger had a trailer at Black River near Griffin and the fire department was called to his trailer and his trailer had burned down completely. “It was such a quick and fast fire that I believe it even burned his dog in the bedroom,” Parkhurst explained. “Firemen sensed that something was going on so they called the Posey County Narcotics Unit to the scene and a member of the Posey County Narcotics Unit discovers tracks (footprints) that lead down to the river.”

New school, familiar faces expected at North Posey By Valerie Werkmeister There will be many new faces in North Posey’s halls this Fall. As New Harmony School closes its doors, many of the institution’s educators were given an opportunity to come and work in North Posey Schools. North Posey School Board members approved a long list of certified and noncertified New Harmony staff that will be joining the district’s employees. Robin Wells will join North Elementary as a third grade teacher. Stephanie Rhodes will become a fourth grade teacher and Jessica South will fill the Title 1 position. Michelle Keepes will teach math at both the junior high and high school. Allison Norfleet will serve as a special education teacher in the high school and Donald Kensell will teach Spanish part-time at the high school. Non-certified staff members include Stacey Conyers as a special education aide; Shelly Eagan as a library aide at North Elementary; Debbie Lyke as a bus driver and Paula Schmitt will join Julie Gentil as a secretary at North Elementary. They also approved a number of changes for current teachers and staff. Perhaps one of the biggest changes will be that of North Elementary Principal Tim Teel. His request to leave his administration position was approved. He has decided to return to teaching and will serve as a sixth grade
teacher in the fall. Superintendent Dr. Todd Camp stated that a replacement for Teel has not been determined. His position will be posted. Other changes at North Elementary include Cassandra Barrett will switch from an aide position to the pre-school teacher. Current pre-school teacher, Amber Oakley, will assume a first grade teaching position. Jennifer Werry will transfer from her current kindergarten teaching position at South Terrace to North Elementary as a second grade teacher. At South Terrace, Danielle Rolley will vacate her current aide position and become the pre-school special education teacher. Heather Bailey will also leave her aide position to become the pre-school teacher. Jenna Wilson will switch from her pre-school teaching position to a first-grade teacher. Melissa Mahrenholz will add part-time high school art teacher to her daily responsibilities as a special education aide at the junior high. Several resignation requests were approved by the board. Regretfully and with much hesitation, they approved junior high special education teacher, Shari Luebbe’s resignation request. Finding a replacement that matches her expertise, compassion and positive influence on her students will be difficult task for school board members. Jeff O’Risky resigned as
Former Mount Vernon man arrested, charged with child molesting in Posey Co. By Dave Pearce A former Mount Vernon man has been arrested and charged with child molesting. At 3:15 on Thursday, Indiana State Police arrested Edward Eli Cooper, 81, of Evansville, after a criminal investigation revealed he allegedly molested a 10-year-old girl in 2010.

During the investigation, Detective Sherretz revealed Cooper allegedly molested Edward Cooper the 10-year-old girl on two separate occasions in 2010. Both incidents occurred at Cooper’s residence in Mount Vernon prior to him moving to his new residence in Evansville. The alleged incidents occurred at 1317 North Byrd in Mount Vernon. Cooper was arrested at his residence without incident and taken to the Posey County Jail where he is currently being held on bond.

OPINION
Hectic week renews faith in next generation, gives perspective It has been another hectic week around our house(s), but it has been a good week. We got moved from our home on Cale Street just up the street in Poseyville to North Church. So far, so good! On the day following the move, there was literally TRUTH... NO part of me that was painSTRANGER free but I guess that’s what I T HAN get for being old! F ICTION But moving this time was inspirational. We have moved BY DAVE three or four times in the past PEARCE 12 years and a couple of those moves were paid by companies while the others were self-financed. This particular move was one of those self-financed, so I did a little hunting before committing to a mover. I made a call to an upstart company that I found on Craigslist. We made an appointment and the young men who were to move us came out to the house and met my wife. They took a look around at the nearly 4000 square feet on three levels where we lived and showed no fear of the task they were facing. Little did I know that I was contacting Posey County boys but that just made the move sweeter. I don’t think two young men could have worked any harder or could have enjoyed their work any more than these two brothers by the
name of Fetcher. It was unbelievable that they were able to keep a smile on their faces and a good attitude all the way to the end of a ridiculously tough day. To be completely honest, it boosted my opinion of some members of the younger generation.. These young men showed me that there are still people out there who are willing to put in a hard day’s work for a fair wage. It was an encouragement and a joy to see them continue to smile and work so well together while working so hard. They let me know that they are in the midst of starting a moving company and with a name like Fetcher, it would only be suitable that they will be calling the company The Furniture Fetchers. Please don’t hesitate to call them at 812-3066499. If you are planning to move, it will be a very smart move on your part. But the weekend held another enjoyable event for me. Saturday evening was the annual Mount Vernon M-Club Hall of Fame induction. When you have been around as many kids and graduating classes as I have, you know how special it is to get to see these younger people being honored for their athletic accom-
plishments while they were students in Posey County. I promise that a Hall of Fame is still in the works for North Posey High School in the coming weeks. It was great to see that these young people have turned into nurses, pharmacists, and other contributing members of society following great athletic careers at Mount Vernon High School. But of all the conversation and catching up I was a part of, the night’s guest speaker said something in his speech that has stuck with me. Marc Hostetter, who has just finished his first year at Mount Vernon High School as the head basketball coach, was the guest speaker. While he kept his remarks relatively brief, he also kept them meaningful. I don’t ordinarily draw off the mental strength of “jocks,” but Marc told a little story in his speech that I plan to continue to remember. It seems there was a woman who woke up one morning and almost all of her hair had fallen out. She got up and instead of freaking out, she decided to make the best of the situation. She had three hairs left on her head and wondered what she would do with only three hairs. Having three hairs, she decided that on this day, she would braid her hair for the day. She
did the braid and went on about her day with a smile on her face and enjoying life. The next morning, she woke up to find that one of the hairs had fallen out during the night, leaving her with only two hairs on her head. Being the optimist that she was, she decided that today, she would part her hair down the middle. She parted her hair down the middle, put a smile on her face and enjoyed another day she had been given. The next morning when she got up, you guessed it, the woman woke up to only one hair. So that was no fret. She decided to just wear a pony tail on that day. She again put a smile on her face and went on to enjoy the day she had. On the next morning, she woke up to find out that the only hair that she had left on her head had fallen out. She looked in the mirror and smiled thinking, “Thank goodness, today I don’t have to worry about what to do with my hair.” Sometimes we can all use a reminder about being grateful for the things we have. Despite having to move and being sore, I am grateful to have found two very nice young men to help us move. I plan to get up in the morning and be thankful for the day that I have and enjoy it. At least that’s the plan…
Charity begins at home and the proof is in the pudding We truly live in a small world when we can see what’s happening all around the globe. We should commend those who aid our longdistance neighbors. At the same time, we want to contribute to the well-being of our local neighbors so no one among them becomes a poster child for hunger. No one sets a finer example of caring than Mount Vernon’s Lucas Medley, the 8 ½-yearold son of Jaime and Shawn Medley. In 2011 and 2012, Lucas and two fellow Cub Scouts, Isaac and Ethan Parmenter (sons of Carrie
and Ryan Parmenter), from Farmersville Pack #372 have collected a total of $1,291.28 for the Mount Vernon Food Pantry. This year alone, the boys brought in $833.28 and 61 canned goods. Their 2012 collection will ultimately amount to $1800 for the Mount Vernon Food Pantry. As readers will recall, the Feinstein Foundation is awarding the food pantry $1 for each canned food item and more than a matching dollar per dollar collected during the months of March and April.
Lucas, Isaac and Ethan will thus sponsor 12 children at $150 each in the food pantry’s Adopt-A-Kid program this summer. The program pro- LIVING vides free lunch to all children served by the free and reduced FOR THE school lunch program. Nearly JOURNEY 70 kids received the assis- BY PAM ROBINSON tance last summer. When his parents asked Lucas last year what he wanted to do during spring break, the then 7 ½ year old requested his dad build a refreshment stand so he could sell cookies to benefit the food pantry. An accomplished baker, his mom knew she wanted to help her sensitive son and found a strategic location—McKim’s IGA— to feature her goodies and goodies donated by other Pack moms. Jaime and Shawn Medley deserve recognition also as parents who enjoy supporting and developing a young boy’s
character and dreams. The bake sale provides their son a priceless lesson in the value and purpose of his life—each life. Both last year and this year, I wipe away tears as I write about Lucas and his friends. My words fail to express the magnitude of what these boys teach us: namely, what we do with our life has consequence and truly matters. As I age, I especially appreciate frequent reminders of the incalculable worth of each human being. Such reminders provide useful weapons in my battle against cynicism. If readers would like to share their congratulations and gratitude with Lucas, Isaac and Ethan, please mail a card addressed to them in care of the Posey County News, P.O. Box 397, New Harmony, Ind. 47631. They are hometown heroes at their finest.

Guest Column: Wendy McNamara April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, a critical month designed to increase public awareness and educate people on this issue. We must work together to try and eradicate child abuse from our society, one child’s death is one too many. A report of child abuse is made every 10 seconds in the United States and in Indiana alone the Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline received 151,000 reports in 2011. The first official National Child Abuse Prevention Month was in 1983 as Congress and others looked for ways to bring attention to this problem. Today, people display pinwheels and blue ribbons to show their support for the fight to end child abuse. We all play a pivotal role in protecting the children in our community. There are many ways to get involved with Child Abuse Prevention Month. You can volunteer; make a donation, or simply spread the word about awareness. To find out more information, I encourage you visit the DCS
Gavel Gamut’s
website at www.in.gov/dcs/index.htm for more information about DCS and ways to get involved. This past session, I carried a bill that works to help protect Indiana children by giving more tools to the Department of Child Services. This legislation continues the mission of helping Hoosier children in the most sensitive of situations be better served and represented. A main provision of the bill creates an interim study committee on DCS issues. The bill also allows alleged victims of sex crimes to receive services from the victim’s assistance program until they are 31. Additionally, the legislation gives authority to DCS to conduct background checks of adult members who reside in a home prior to reuniting a child and their guardians. This is important because with the Safely Home, Families First initiative, DCS continues to increase the number of children who reside in their home and with their relatives.
“Law Day 2012”
President Eisenhower, who knew about the evils of might over right from a lifetime of fighting against them, established Law Day as America’s commitment to the rule of law, not despots. The Posey County Bar Association has sponsored our GAVEL Posey County Law Day for GAMUT many years. This year’s program will include the twenty- BY JUDGE eighth High School Mock JIM REDWINE Trial and Oral Arguments before the Indiana Court of Appeals. Each year the students, teachers and administrators of our three high schools present a fictionalized jury trial in the courtroom of the Posey Circuit Court. The students do pre-trial preparation and portray all the roles: judge, jury, attorneys, witnesses, clerk, court reporter and bailiff. The teachers work with the students who learn about our legal system by actually participating in it. And this year the students and the public will have the opportunity to observe an actual oral argument on a real case as held be-
fore a three judge panel of the Indiana Court of Appeals. After the Oral Arguments the students will have the opportunity to ask the justices questions. Indiana Court of Appeals justices Melissa May, John Baker and Mark Bailey will preside over the Oral Arguments and will take questions, not about the case at Bar but general questions about law and procedure. The Law Day Celebration will begin at 8:30 a.m. on April 26, 2012 with a brief opening ceremony. Then the students will present the Mock Trial between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Next will be refreshments while the courtroom is prepared for the Oral Arguments. Then the Oral Arguments will take place followed by questions from the audience. The public is invited and encouraged to attend this year’s Law Day Celebration. Next week we can discuss the elements of the Mock Trial and the case set for Oral Argument.

OBITUARIES
School, from Page 1A
John Robert Wolfe John Robert Wolfe, age 81, of Mount Vernon, Ind., died Monday evening April 9, 2012, at Deaconess Hospital. He was born January 25, 1931, the son of Peter Leslie and Carrie (Russell) Wolfe in Harmony Township. He married Gladys Grabert on March 13, 1954, at Trinity U it d Ch h off Ch i t iin Mount Vernon. United Church Christ John loved his family and grandchildren. He showed this by planning annual family camping vacations which included 49 of the 50 states. This was ultimately passed onto his grandchildren, and furthered his influence by constantly motivating his sons to work hard toward education, scouting and community involvement. He and Gladys were extremely supportive of their son’s time to work on education. John worked 30-plus years at Farm Bureau Refinery where he formed strong friendships with co-workers that led to his 50 years and ultimately as Master Mason of Beulah Lodge 578. He enjoyed fishing on the Wabash River in the Old Dam area with his brothers and sisters.
He passed this love onto his sons. In his later years, John and Gladys enjoyed gardening, especially raising vegetables and roses. In addition to fishing as his favorite pastime, he loved to watch baseball, specifically the Atlanta Braves. John is survived by his wife Gladys; three sons and daughters-in-law, R. Brian and Kelly Wolfe of Muncie, L. Bruce Wolfe of Mount Vernon, and Stanton and Nazan Wolfe of Evansville; five grandchildren, Molly, Andy, Sophia, Nolan and Katie; one brother and sister-in-law, Bobbie Gene and Norma Wolfe of Mount Vernon. He was preceded in death by his parents, three brothers, Claude and Herdis, and Peter Leslie Wolfe and five sisters, Ava Wolfe, Pearl Davis, Berniece Mathew, Mary AndersonHein, and Frances Garrison. Funeral services were held at 3 p.m. on Friday, April 13, 2012, at the Austin~Stendeback Family Funeral Home at 1330 E. Fourth Street in Mount Vernon with burial in Bellefontaine Cemetery. Visitation was held from 1-3 p.m. at the funeral home on Friday. Masonic rites were conducted Friday afternoon. Online condolences may be left at austinfuneralhome.com. Memorials are suggested to the Youth Educational Fund at Trinity United Church of Christ at 505 Walnut, Mount Vernon, IN 47620.
Sentences, from Page 1A Parkhurst said that Rueger told police he was trying to get water to put out the fire. “When investigators got to the river’s edge, they found a heavy part from a boat motor in the water and tied to it were two plastic bags that were floating,” Parkhurst said. “Officers fished out the plastic bags and discovered that there had definitely been a meth lab and Mr. Rueger had tried to sink the evidence before the firemen got there.” Parkhurst said once the lab was found, the cooking pot was still smoking and several precursors were found at the scene. But Rueger’s problems were not over. Detectives returned to the scene to find a Wal-Mart receipt dated the day before the fire and on the receipt, pseudoephedrine was listed. At that point, Rueger told police that he had been allowing others to cook methamphetamine at his trailer. Rueger was charged with Dealing in methamphetamine (a Class D Felony) for the manufacturing of it and for maintaining a common nuisance. Upon returning to Wal-Mart, police got video of Landon Cale Mullis, of rural New Harmony, who had bought the tablets. Mullis had faced other charges in the recent past and police were able to get the help of Mullis. Mullis said he bought the pills and took them to Rueger and another individual, knowing they would make methamphetamine. On Tuesday, after about a year of delays, Rueger plead guilty to the manufacturing of methamphetamine and was sentenced to six years in prison. Because of Mullis’ cooperation, he was not charged relating to this incident. •In another unrelated case this week,, Joseph Trapp pled

guilty to drug charges and received a 12-year sentence. He had been a cohabitant of a Mount Vernon home with Susan Lewis. Lewis is till facing charges. “Investigators had undercover officers go in on two separate occasions and under controlled conditions and give them pseudoephedrine and batteries,” Parkhurst explained. “They did not want payment for the methamphetamine but only ingredients to make more.” On the second time, the investigator was told to call Trapp back in about two hours and he would have the methamphetamine ready. Parkhurst said that approximately two hours later, investigators called Trapp and were told to come on by and the investigator was given about 3.5 grams of methamphetamine. That crime is considered a Class A felony and after a search warrant was obtained, investigators found considerably more methamphetamine and it was determined that not only was that house involved, but that there was a second home just around the corner and lab materials were found in both homes. Both homes were located in Mount Vernon. Trapp was charged with three Class A felonies, manufacturing, delivering and being in possession with intent to deal. He also faced charges of possession of precursors and maintaining a common nuisance. “He was sentenced to 12 years of the Class B felonies, six years on the Class C felonies and two years on the Class D felonies,” Parkhurst said. “His sentencing will be on May 22 and the sentences are set to run concurrently.” •In an unrelated case, Michael O’Brien, recently convicted of rape charges in a Posey County Court jury trial, is scheduled to be sentenced on April 19 at 1:30.

INGREDIENTS 6 Or 7 Ripe Plum Tomatoes (About 1 1/2 Lbs) 2 Cloves Garlic, Minced 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 Teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar 6-8 Fresh Basil Leaves, Chopped. Salt And Freshly Ground Black Pepper To Taste 1 Baguette French Bread Or Similar Italian Bread 1/4 Cup Olive Oil DIRECTIONS 1. Prepare the tomatoes first. Parboil the tomatoes for one minute in boiling water that has just been removed from the burner. Drain. Using a sharp small knife, remove the skins of the tomatoes. (If the tomatoes are too hot, you can protect your finger tips by rubbing them with an ice cube between tomatoes.) Once the tomatoes are peeled, cut them in halves or quarters and remove the seeds and juice from their centers. Also cut out and discard the stem area. Why use plum tomatoes instead of regular tomatoes? The skins are much thicker and there are fewer seeds and less juice. 2. Make sure there is a top rack in place in your oven. Turn on the oven to 450°F to preheat. 3. While the oven is heating, chop up the tomatoes finely. Put tomatoes, garlic, 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, vinegar in a bowl and mix. Add the chopped basil. Add salt and pepper to taste. 4. Slice the baguette on a diagonal about 1/2 inch thick slices. Coat one side of each slice with olive oil using a pastry brush. Place on a cooking sheet, olive oil side down. You will want to toast them in the top rack in your oven, so you may need to do these in batches depending on the size of your oven. Once the oven has reached 450°F, place a tray of bread slices in the oven on the top rack. Toast for 5-6 minutes, until the bread just begins to turn golden brown. Alternatively, you can toast the bread without coating it in olive oil first. Toast on a griddle for 1 minute on each side. Take a sharp knife and score each slice 3 times. Rub some garlic in the slices and drizzle half a teaspoon of olive oil on each slice. This is the more traditional method of making bruschetta. 5. Align the bread on a serving platter, olive oil side up. Either place the tomato topping in a bowl separately with a spoon for people to serve themselves over the bread, or place some topping on each slice of bread and serve. If you top each slice with the tomatoes, do it right before serving or the bread may get soggy. Makes 24 small Slices

Extra large, large, and medium plastic crates are also always needed. • Dog Food Dry food,
please. • Heavy Duty Dog Leashes We always, always, always need dog leashes. • Gas Cards.

Those dedicated New Harmony residents who helped with the task were Cindy Austerman, Scott Champlin, the Rev. Kathryn Costas, J.C. Egli, Canaan Haggard, Nick Haggard, Rebecca Jessup, Donna Kohlmeyer, Merri Leffel, Duncan Newcomer, Jim Norton, Laurie Parker, Maggie Rapp, Jim Scarafia, Kurt Schmitt, Paula Schmitt, Linda Warrum, Tim Wiley, Andrew Wilson, and Karen Walker.

Neo-traditionalists Dana and Susan Robinson will headline the music lineup in this year’s Arts in Harmony arts and crafts fair, scheduled May 5 and 6, at Church Park in New Harmony. From Asheville, North Carolina, Dana and Susan bring to the stage an exciting blend of original songs of the American landscape and old-time Appalachian mountain music. With Dana on guitar and fiddle, Susan’s claw-hammer banjo playing and harmony singing, they bring a joyful energy to their concerts. Their music is the sound and feel of bedrock America. The Robinsons will perform Sunday from 1-3 p.m. Readers may check them out at http://www. robinsongs.com/press.html. Griffin, Indiana’s, Hilltop Project will lead off the Saturday, May 5 lineup at 10 a.m. The Hilltoppers (Bish,
Liz, and Jacob Mumford and friends) play a mix of acoustic blues, folk, gospel, and American roots music. Batting second at 11:30 a.m. will be Harmony Road (Liz Mumford, Jan Morris, Randy Pease), who will serve up a tasty blend of folk, pop, and originals, all in lush threepart harmony. At 1 p.m. Evansville’s Andrea Wirth takes the stage with a repertoire that ranges from soft ballads to rowdy rockers, both original and covers. She will be joined by special guest Melanie Bosza. Following Ms. Wirth at 3 p.m. will be New Harmony-based Circle of Friends (Charlie Reynolds, Karen Andry, George Spradley, Annette Gilmore, et al.), who will offer a menu of classic country, bluegrass, gospel, and pop standards.

He will set the table for Dana and Susan Robinson, who play from 1-3 p.m. Tales & Scales, Evansville’s internationally renowned musical storytelling troupe, will bring things to a close from 3-4:30 p.m. with their interactive fairy tale “The Enchanted Horn,” followed by a short set of improvisational jazz.

Gino Miles bronze art to be displayed at Evansville Museum The exhibition Cast In Bronze: The Figurative Sculpture Of Gino Miles will be in the Evansville Museum’s Second Floor Alcove Gallery from April 16 – July 29, 2012. Gino Miles’ work in bronze combines, in a contemporary context, both the classical figure and objects found in nature. Colorado native Miles became interested in art while attending the University of Northern Colorado. His study of painting and sculpture took him to Italy, where he took
classes at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence and at the Universitá per Stranieri di Perugia. Greatly influenced by the ancient ruins and art of the Etruscans, Romans and Greeks, Miles became fascinated with the rich cultural relationship between sculpture, architecture and the surrounding landscape. Miles returned to the United States and received his Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Northern Colorado in 1979. He and his wife spent several years in Europe

The Membership of the Working Men’s Institute will hold its quarterly membership meeting tonight at 7 p.m. This meeting is open to the public. April is National Poetry Month, and to celebrate the month, we will be hosting an “open microphone” poetry reading on Tuesday, April 24, 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 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 pub-
lished and distributed during April. I will be compiling all submitted work into a chapbook to be distributed for free to area residents.

sale for $19.95. We’ve added a few new titles to the collection that you may want to check out and read. Here are some that I’ve enjoyed: A History of the World in 100 Objects by Neil MacGregor. As the director of the British Museum, Neil MacGregor has a high-level view of the overall collections of that remarkable museum, and this book delivers just what it promises – a history of the world – by examining 100 objects from the museum’s vast collections. The writing is so clear and concise, and the depth of the author’s learning so obvious, that even those with a fair knowledge of history will come away with new information, or a refreshing perspective on how history unfolds. Each object is given its own chapter, and the book overall is divided into 20 sections of 5 chapters each. The Wolf at Twilight: An Indian Elder’s Journey through a Land of Ghosts and Shadows, by Kent Nerburn. For anyone who has read Nerburn’s previous book, Neither Wolf nor Dog, about a Lakota elder identified only as Dan,
this book is a follow-up that follows Dan and his family into the twilight of Dan’s life. Rich with respect for native American life ways, this book offers rare insight into the stories and heritage of the Lakota people. Before he became famous as the author of The Omnivore’s Delimna, Michael Pollan wrote a lovely little book called The Botany of Desire: A Plant’s-eye View of the World. In it, he examines four human desires – for sweetness, beauty, intoxication, and control – by examining the history of four cultivars associated with each desire. For example, the plant associated with sweetness is the apple, and he begins with John Chapman (a.k.a. Johnny Appleseed) bringing apples down the Ohio into the stillwild Midwest, examining the history of the apple as an edible food. Each section of the book offers a “plant’seye view” of how it has been adapted it to varying uses throughout history. WMI is open TuesdayThursday from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m.; Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.; and Sunday from noon – 4.

BLEND’s May 12 Concert to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Posey County By Pam Robinson The a cappella doo-wop group BLEND will perform in a two-hour concert sponsored by First Bank on Saturday, May 12, 2012, at the Mount Vernon High School Performing Arts Center, or PAC, starting at 6:30 p.m. Familiar to Mount Vernon Relay for Life participants, BLEND now wants to make a difference and help out Big Brothers Big Sisters, or BBBS, of Posey County. BLEND is donating half the ticket sales from “Forever Doo-Wop, A Tribute to the 50’s and 60’s” to BBBS of Posey County. Advance tickets cost $10 for adults and $5 for students and are available by calling BBBS Co-Chair Kay Kilgore at 483-2922 or by stopping by First Bank in Mount Vernon or Poseyville as well as McKim’s IGA in Mount Vernon, Chris’s Pharmacy in New Harmony and Old National Bank in Mount Vernon. Tickets at the door will cost $12 for adults and $7 for students. Well-received at a number of venues, BLEND presents an impressive performance résumé. The group has appeared as special guests at the Dick Clark American Band Stand Theater in Branson, Missouri. Just last summer, BLEND presented shows daily at the Vienna Theatre in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and established its doo-wop tribute to the 50’s and 60s as a must-see act. The group has toured as far south as Florida and into the northern part of the country in such states as Minnesota and South Dakota. BLEND is still touring throughout the country today. A schedule of appearances and information about BLEND may be found at their website: www.blend-acappella.com. Himself the child of a single mother, Johnathan Estes, the comical “talker” for BLEND, has served as a Big Brother in the past and highly recommends the experience. “Becoming a ‘Big’ was a challenging, yet very growing experience for me. It taught me a lot about responsibility, patience and loving,” he states. “I think so many times, we become blind to the fact that we just might learn and become more of a well-defined person from being such a positive influence to a ‘Little.’ After all, we all need extra love and acceptance as well.” A United Way agency, BBBS of Posey County has already raised $66,000 for start-up costs. Those costs include the employment of a case worker who will begin making Big and Little matches in June. BBBS Co-Chair Kay Kilgore points out the tremendous need for the BBBS program in Posey County. According to data from Kids Count, 13.5 percent of the county’s children
The BLEND’s cappella doo-wop group will perform at the Mount Vernon High School Performing Arts Center at 6:30 on Saturday, May 12. Photo submitted live in poverty and 27 percent of the county’s public school students receive free or reduced lunch. These children are considered at risk and are the target population for BBBS. Right now in Posey County, less than 3 percent of these at-risk children are being served by BBBS. BBBS has had a presence in the Tri-State for over 50 years. Now, eight counties in Southwest Indiana provide BBBS programs. BBBS of Posey County welcomes BIG volunteers and volunteers for projects such as the doo-wop benefit concert. Kilgore invites those interested in volunteering at the PAC on Saturday, May 12, to call her at 483-2922 or to call BBBS Chair Beth Schilling at 783-1097.
Scout Troop 375 hopes to start National Boy Scout Food Drive
(R) Rev. George Purnell, District Superintendent congratulates (L) Rev. Lester Howard, former minister of Black’s Chapel. The church honored their former minister on Sunday by dedicating the sanctuary of their new church building in his honor. Rev. Howard was instrumental in the church’s acquisition and remodeling of the old Keck Ford Building. The new church opened its doors on Easter Sunday morning. The congregation dedicated the sanctuary on April 15 and will host an Open House April 22 from 2 to 4. The Posey County Harp Cluster will provide music for the Open House, which is open to anyone interested in seeing the renovated church facility. Photo submitted
By Pam Robinson Mount Vernon Boy Scout Troop 375 has chosen Saturday, May 12, National “Stamp Out Hunger” Day, to collect and encircle the Posey County Court House with canned goods for the Mount Vernon Food Pantry. Scoutmaster Andy White said his troop will start collecting food items at 9 a.m., right after the 8:30 a.m. memorial service for fallen law enforcement officers at the court house. The event also coincides with the first day of City Cleanup Week offering free paper shredding to local residents at the court house. In doing the math, White has measured 13,384 inches around the court house. If donors bring smaller, 2 ½ inch cans, then 5,554 cans will be needed to encircle the building whereas donations of larger, 3 ½ inch cans, will complete the circle with 3,976 cans. White challenges local residents to donate enough cans to match the height of the tallest member in their family. Once again doing the math, he figures stacking 12 cans will stand up to anyone 6-feet-tall.

"Our Kids Who Give entrants are an inspiration to us all."
Last year’s Kids Who Give honorees showed how kindness, determination and hard work can move mountains. They included: Nathan Hickey of Monrovia, Calif., who formed Mountain Biking for Pablove to support kids with cancer. Ricky Springer of McDonough, Ga., who started Racing for a Cause to educate others on the disorder eosinophillic colitis, which he suffers from himself. Mariah Reynolds, a Cincinnati, Ohio, resident who’s been volunteering since she was 6 years old. Today, she’s behind three non-profits: Just One Heart, gLove One Another and Heal the Soul. Rujul Zaparde from Plainsboro, N.J., founded Drinking Water for India, which raises money to build tube-wells in remote Indian villages. About Farm Rich Farm Rich created Kids Who Give in 2010 to honor youth who give back. More at www.farmrich.com.
“Twelve cans isn’t that much,” White says. “A donation of 12 canned goods will cost less than $12.” White emphasized that his troop hopes to initiate an annual national Boy Scout food drive to complement the national letter carriers’ annual food drive, also being held this year on May 12. He noted that Boy Scout popcorn sales started with Evans-
ville’s Buffalo Trace Council before going national. The 15 Boy Scouts in Troop 375 will place a goal “thermometer” at the court house so those driving by can see their progress. Residents should be able to park in the court house parking lot and bring their canned goods to the Scouts, or they may place them in drop boxes at McKim’s IGA and Wesselman’s
for pick up. “I don’t want this drive to take away from any regular giving,” White comments. “The Boy Scouts want to add to regular donations. Some of the boys have asked, ‘What happens if we don’t make it all the way around?’ I’ve told them we’re not at a loss because whatever we bring in will help the food pantry.”

Garnet Ungar Performs at Trinity UCC April 21 Garnet Ungar will perform a recital April 21 at 7 p.m. at Trinity United Church of Christ in MountVernon, Ind. It is a preview of his solo recital in New York City on May 10 at the American Liszt Society. There will be a reception following the free recital. Mr. Ungar is interested in meeting youth at the recital. Garnet Ungar has appeared throughout North America as piano soloist with orchestra, in recitals and master classes at major universities, and in solo and chamber broadcasts on Public Radio and the CBC. He has also performed in Switzerland, Sweden, and England, and his recording of Brahm’s Second Piano Concerto with the Varna Philharmonic in Bulgaria was de-
scribed in John Bell Young's Clavier Magazine review as "powerful and precise…having solidity and passion, a magisterial presence, structural integrity, immediacy and intensity." In 2009 he released his second CD, of Schubert piano works. A review in Fanfare Magazine mentioned "subtle nuances under perfect control and never sounding self-conscious… a fine control of myriad touches and colors… steady, focused, and unrelenting-a really superlative ac-count." Clavier Companion describes "an impressively imaginative and nuanced musical sensitivity with a refined technique" and "a complexity to his interpretations that cannot be fully appreciated at a first lis-
tening." Dr. Ungar has served on the piano faculties of Mount Royal College in Calgary, the University Settlement House in Toronto, the University of Evansville, and the Music at Maple Mount Summer Institute in Kentucky. He regularly adjudicates piano competitions including the Hong Kong Schools Music Festival, Midwest Young Artists in Chicago, and Kentucky MTNA. His students have won several competitions, including six first prizes in the Evansville Philharmonic Competition, four finalists in the Indianapolis Symphony Competition, and first and second place winners in the Murray State/Paducah Symphony Competition.
Sermon of the Week: God is Above All By Rev. Rick S. Sellers, Mt. Zion General Baptist Church When you consider the work of Jesus take time to consider something that is unnatural according to our way of thinking. For consideration let’s look at the story of Jesus and some good friends of His, Mary, Martha and Lazarus. The Gospel of St. John chapter 11 tells a familiar story and one which sometimes is not fully understood. 1. Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. 3 Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, "Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick." 4 When Jesus heard that, He said, "This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it." John 11:1-4 (NKJV) The first point for consideration is God’s ability to govern beyond the clock on the wall. I learned this lesson was about a month ago when I was privileged to go on a mission trip to Honduras, Central America. The first thing I noticed about the people is their ability to open their hearts in song and worship without the restraints of time. That’s the way it should be. When Jesus was approached about the illness of Lazarus
He did not seem to be that interested, but if you look a little closer to this situation you will discover that Jesus is more passionate about His friend than He is given credit for. Jesus did not leave immediately which troubled the mutual friends and family of Lazarus. He finished the work He was doing before going to be with the family. God is not bound by time, nor does He allow time to restrict Him from accomplishing His work. The second point to consider is God’s ability to govern beyond the natural realm of life and death. Once, while Jesus was with His disciples on the raging sea He slept while the disciples experienced total fear. When they woke Jesus from His sleep, they complained in that He was sleeping while they all were about to die. I imagine that He looked at them, turned to the storm and calmly rebuked the raging winds. The disciples were in fear for their lives but Jesus was in control of the very thing that caused their fear! The winds obeyed His voice. They should because it was He who gave the winds their origin. So, when Jesus came to Mary and Martha and heard them explain that their friend had died due to Jesus’ delayed coming He was not concerned. He was not so concerned about their feelings of loss nor was He concerned about the lifeless body that was in the grave.
As you continue to read the story in John 11 you will discover that Jesus speaks with the same voice that gave life from the beginning of “time” when He called Lazarus out from the grave. I must wonder what they thought when they saw the grave reveal Lazarus, not dead but alive? Finally, we should consider that Jesus, who had the ability to conquer the limitations of time, space and life revealed His greatest ability to conquer His own death. Time does not restrict Jesus, nor does it restrict His purpose. Nature does not restrict Jesus, nor does it restrict His purpose in protecting us. Life and death do not hold anything of Jesus. By His voice the worlds were made, life became a reality and victory became ours over death and the grave. 1 Corinthians 15:54-57 (NKJV) … "Death is swallowed up in victory." "O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?" The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. – I Corinthians 15:54-57 (NKJV) Our victory is in Jesus.

New Harmony students head to Washington DC a year early New Harmony High School students are off to Washington DC one year early. DC VI will happen April 29 through May 5, 2012. New Harmony School has maintained a 20-year long tradition with its high school students attending the last five Presidential Inaugurations. This tradition will come to an end because of the closing of New Harmony School July 1, 2012. This spring the 8th through 11th grade students will make the trip. These are the students who would have made up the high school class next year if the school was open to attend the 2013 inauguration.
The New Harmony students will start their trip to DC with a stop in Economy, PA., the site of the Harmonist settlement after they left New Harmony, Ind. back in 1824. Many of the sites in Washington DC will feature, the White House Visitors Center, Arlington Cemetery, Changing of the Guard Ceremony, Many of the Smithsonian Museums, National Museum of Air & Space, IMAX Presentation, Lincoln Memorial and sites of the Mall, Fords Theatre and the Pentagon Memorial, just to name a few.

Layton Hopper honored as Indiana Academic All-Star
Mount Vernon High School senior Layton Hopper was honored as an Indianapolis Star Academic All-Star at a luncheon on April 11 at the Indiana Roof Ballroom in Indianapolis. Layton, the son of Mari and David Hopper, is ranked number one in his senior class and has narrowed his college choices to Princeton University or Indiana --both for understanding University. and developing treatments Now in its 26th , year, the as well as cures of complex Indianapolis Star Academic diseases.” All-Stars competition is open to all high schools accredited by the Indiana association of School Principals. Each high school may nominate one senior for consideration as an Academic All-Star. Schools are directed to select nominees based on the following considerations:
Cody Devine selected for 13th Molecular Medicine Seminar On March 11-12, 2012, Cody Devine, a student at North Posey High School, was one of a select group of students who attended the 13th Anniversary Molecular Medicine In Action (MMIA) program at Indiana University School of Medicine. This year 50 of Indiana’s best high school science students were selected -from over 240 applicants -- for the two-day program, during which they worked alongside top research scientists learning hands-on laboratory techniques used in modem biomedical research. Cody Devine and the other students in this year’s program isolated DNA in test tubes, stained chromosomes in order to identify mutations, learned about issues in bioethics, and practiced techniques used to analyze treatments for cancer, among other activities. Program director Karen E. Pollok, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, Pharmacology & Toxicology, Herman B Wells Center for Pediatric Research, notes that it’s hoped that the Molecular Medicine In Action program will inspire students about science careers and demonstrate that they can pursue those careers in Indiana. “This conference introduces the students to incredible new knowledge that is rapidly becoming accessible from the recent advances in biomedicine and the quickening pace of scientific discovery,” said Dr. Pollok. “We are celebrating 13 years of success. Over
600 Indiana high school students now have shared the excitement of what genetic science promises-
• A mathematical formula that combines the SAT/ ACT composite score and grade point average for seven semesters. • Extracurricular activities related to academics. • Nonacademic extracurricular activities. • Leadership • Community service and involvement. For the selection of the Regional finalists, the state is divided into five regions, and the nominees are grouped by region. A committee of educators and civic leaders, representing all regions, selected up to nine regional honorees in each region. This year a total of 90 Regional Honorees were selected from among the 228 nominees across the five regions.
From the chosen Regional Honorees, each region’s committee chose two Class 1 and two Class 2 nominees as AllStars. All 90 students were recognized at an awards luncheon with the 40 Academic All-Stars receiving plaques in honor of their achievements. Each Academic All-Star honored the school employee who most influenced his or her academic career. The students wrote essay explaining why that employee has been a significant influence in their lives. MVHS Language Arts instructor Vicki Rueger was honored as Hopper’s most influential teacher. The Indianapolis Star Academic All-Stars is a partnership of the Indianapolis Star and the Indiana Association of School Principals.

Next Phase of Mount Vernon riverfront becomes nearer to reality By Pam Robinson Spending topped the agenda at the Mount Vernon City Council meeting held Monday, April 9, 2012. With all five members present, council discussed an ordinance up for first reading and a resolution requiring members to vote one time for its passage. When all was said and done, two unanimous votes paved the way for a total of $620,000 to come out of the city’s portion of county optional income tax, or COIT. Council passed on first reading an ordinance for additional appropriations of $320,000 from COIT. The appropriations were broken down as follows: $300,000 for engineering services pertinent to the downtown area, including one bill already paid to Bernardin Lochmueller & Associates and $20,000 for paving to help make up for the state’s trimming of the street department budget. In a separate vote, council members all agreed to a resolution allowing a temporary loan of $300,000 from COIT to the General Fund. It was explained that the money was needed for city operating expenses until the June property tax settlement came in and the loan could be repaid. The loan must be repaid by December 31, 2012. The General Fund had a cash balance on March 28, 2012, of $81,681.91. After Councilman Andy Hoehn expressed concern about the loan, he was told it came not from overspending, but from a cash flow problem caused from the city receiving its property tax settlement only twice a year. During the course of the conversation, Hoehn suggested council begin budget preparation and hearings earlier than customary and consider ways to cut spending. Council members agreed with Hoehn’s suggestions. In other business: • After a presentation from the city’s azalea committee regarding the need for start-up funding to sponsor an azalea walking trail in city limits, council unanimously authorized Mayor John Tucker to work out the legalities
and the appropriate budget line item to award $2,000 to the azalea committee. The money will be used to place mile markers along the trail and to print a brochure about the trail. The azalea committee will be hosting an azalea sale at the riverfront on Saturday, April 21, 1 to 4 p.m., to raise additional funds. • John Taylor, Director of Posey County Economic Development Partnership, invited council members to join fellow elected officials at an open forum on Thursday, April 18, 4:30 p.m., at the 4-H Community Center. The forum will educate officials about the potential building of a spec building and how to prepare shovel ready sites to attract industry to Posey County. • Water Superintendent Chuck Gray announced a kickoff event for 11 a.m., Friday, April 20, at the Water Works, 123 College Avenue, for Phase 3 of the water project. The event will include a groundbreaking ceremony complete with speakers, including Mayor John Tucker, Supt. Gray and Tom Hogan with Johnson Controls Inc., or JCI. Presenting an Earth Day theme, the event will be open to the public and barbecue will be served. • When acting as the Water Utility Board, council approved a second water bill adjustment for the year in the amount of $40.66 for water and $47.66 for sewer to Abby McCarty at 1016 W. 3rd Street. • Council passed on second reading, then voted to suspend the rules before passing on third reading ordinance 12-05 to vacate parts of Mann and Ohio streets for Countrymark. • Councilwoman Becky Higgins requested consideration of eliminating three parking spaces that impede vision at the south side of the court house. Council members agreed to park vehicles there and come back with a suggestion if one, two, or all three of the parking spaces should be eliminated. • Councilman Steve Fuelling introduced four topics of discussion at the meeting: 1) drafting an ordinance to clarify the street department’s removal of trees at no charge

Port of Indiana to welcome first vessel of 2012 Port officials will welcome Indiana's first international ship of 2012 with a special ceremony at the Port of Indiana-Burns Harbor on Tuesday morning. The MV Isadora, a Polsteam vessel, traveled from Ijmuiden, Netherlands, carrying roughly 10,000 tons of steel coils to the port. The ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. (Central) Tuesday on board the MV Isadora. Media is welcome to attend but must provide names of attendees in advance and bring a photo ID to board the vessel. "The first ship signifies the start of the international shipping season," said Peter Laman, port director at the port. "While we are open year-round handling Great Lake ships and river barges, the opening of the St. Law-
rence Seaway and arrival of ocean vessels really energizes business at the port, creating jobs for the longshoremen, operating engineers, truckers and others who move our cargoes. We are looking forward to a solid shipping season in 2012." The Isadora was built in 1999 in Chiba, Japan, located on Tokyo Bay. Flagged for the Republic of Cyprus, the Isadora is manned by Capt. Z. Iwanowski and a crew from Poland. During a presentation aboard the ship, Laman will give Iwanowski a "Port of Indiana" steel stein, which symbolizes the enduring steel industry that plays such a vital role in the Northwest Indiana economy. The port is home to 16 steel-related companies. "Steel products remain

Wildcats take advantage of lethargic North Posey Vikings By Steve Joos The North Posey baseball team lacked energy and the Mount Vernon Wildcats made the Viking pitchers work when they were at the plate. That was Saturday’s game at the Mount Vernon baseball field. It took a three-run rally in the bottom of the fifth inning for the Cats to over-
come their county rivals, winning 7-4. The Vikings had the same trouble they’ve had over the last few weekends, according to coach Kevin Smith. “I didn’t feel like we had any energy coming out today,” Smith said. “This is about the second or third Saturday where we just didn’t play with any energy and you saw that in the
first inning. You know, give Mount Vernon credit, they put the ball right in between and we weren’t aggressive enough to get them out.” Smith was pleased with the leadership shown by starting pitcher Shane Neumann, while Mount Vernon coach Paul Quinzer felt that the way his team battled Neumann was a key to their victory.
“I think we had good at-bats,” Quinzer said. “We were making the pitchers work. We were making them get us a ball that we could hit.” Troy Paris collected three hits, including a two-run double that put the Cats in front for good in the bottom of the fifth. He was moving the pitcher late in the count each time he came to the plate, the coach added. Pitcher Drake McNamara threw a good game, while the team was aggressive on the bases and Quinzer felt that the Cats put forth a good team effort, which included some timely hitting. The Wildcats hit them where the Vikings weren’t in the bottom of the first and scored three runs, but the Vikings came back and hit the Cats with three runs of their own to knot things up at 3-3 in the top of the second and pushed across a run in the third to go up 4-3. But the Cats answered in the bottom of the third and hung on until the fifth. “We hung some pitches and left a few out over the plate,” Smith said. “We’re a hard-working team, but we don’t have a lot of great hitters, so we have to work hard and we didn’t show that today.” They especially didn’t show it in a key part of the

game with the meat of the Wildcat batting order at the plate. River VanZant was hit by a pitch with one out in the bottom of the fifth inning and moved to second on a single by Jevin Redman. Paris then followed with a drive to right field which went over the head of right fielder Colton Martin and dropped in between Martin and center fielder Tyler Stolz, scoring two runs. McNamara then helped his own cause with an RBI single. That blow was Paris’ second double of the game. The first blow lead off the bottom of the fourth inning, but the Viking defense shut Mount Vernon down after the Cats loaded the bases on a walk to Clay Ford and an error on Craig Beeson’s grounder to short. “They’re good hitters,” Smith said of the Wildcat lineup. “We’ve got some guys who haven’t had a lot of experience pitching today. They did a good job, but I hope they learned today that they can’t just throw it down the bump, down the middle of the plate to good hitters.” The Wildcats may have relaxed a bit too much after taking the early lead. “That’s something we’ve been talking about,” Quinzer said. “You score three runs in the bottom of the first and then you go out in the top of the second and you let up a bit. I thought Drake’s ball was up, it wasn’t as sharp as it was in the first inning, maybe he lost a little focus, they scored a few runs, but he got us out of that inning and we didn’t have much trouble after that.” McNamara has a wide variety of pitches including a knuckle ball that he calls a change-up. When he’s throwing that well, the hitters can’t keep up with it, Quinzer said. In addition to Paris, Ross Canada contributed an RBI double, while Redman and McNamara each delivered key hits. Smith was pleased with the defense outside of the sixth and fifth innings and
he also felt that the pitchers threw the ball well despite falling behind early. “He (Neumann) showed good senior leadership,” the coach said. “It would be easy to get down after falling behind by that much, but he showed good senior leadership and it rubbed off on the rest of the kids.” Neumann was pitching under stress after throwing from behind with runners on base, which eventually forced Smith to take him out of the game. Smith feels that his team has played well and gotten better over a stretch which has seen the Vikings play 10 games in just over two weeks. He was especially pleased with Colton Motz, who struck out two while setting the Wildcats down in order in his first varsity mount appearance. The win was Mount Vernon’s third of the week in as many games. On Wednesday night, the Cats jumped out to a 7-1 lead, but had to scramble in order to get out of Bosse Field with a 7-6 victory over Retiz. Paris started and left with the big lead after four innings, but defensive breakdowns enabled the Panthers to get back into the contest. A pop up with runners in scoring position in the bottom of the seventh gave the Cats the win. The week started with a 7-2 win at Tecumseh. Canada and Bryce Newman combined for the win, while Mount Vernon took charge early with three runs in the first and another four in the second, but then the bats went silent, something else which concerns Quinzer. “We started out swinging the bats there too,” the coach said “We did the same thing in the Reitz game. We got our runs early and then we just kind of stopped. That’s something we need to work on.” Friday’s game at Gibson Southern was rained out and a make-up date is uncertain at this time, according to Quinzer.
North Posey Lady Vikes on a tear, even season record at 6-6 By Dave Pearce The North Posey Lady Vikings established themselves this week as the best softball team in Posey County. The Lady Vikings defeated previously unbeaten Mount Vernon 8-2 and then threw a 17-0 shutout at New Harmony later in the week. But that was just the beginning. The Lady Vikes, who got off to a slow start due, in part, to a murderous earlyseason schedule, appear to have turned the corner. A 12-4 win over previously-unbeaten and fifth-ranked South Knox has the Viking players and coaches oozing with confidence and ready to face the remainder of the sea-
son. But that could not be said just 10 days ago. “The girls hit the ball really well again and Ashley Schoor pitched a really good game,” North Posey Coach Gary Gentil said. “Everyone hit really well. Deana Lindauer had a couple of hits and Morgan Stierley had a big double and Taylor Patton and Jordan Wassmer had two solid hits apiece.” Just over a week ago, the Vikings sat at 0-5 on the young season early on but timely hitting and the ability of the players to find and accept their roles on the team have led the Vikings to be winners of six of their past seven games. The streak has evened the

team’s record at 6-6. Stierley and Lindauer both had big games at New Harmony as Lindauer hit a home run that according to New Harmony Coach Jeff Moore, could be the first home run ever hit out of New Harmony’s spacious field. Ally Elpers, Megan Redman, and Jordan Wassmer were also touted for their hitting while Wassmer pleased the coach with her effort on the mound. “Jordan pitched a really good game and we kind of exploded on them in the second inning,” Gentil said of the win at New Harmony. The Vikings led 9-0 after the first two innings. Haley Elderkin, the freshman pitcher, pitched the last two innings against New Harmony. Then on Saturday, the road-weary Vikings traveled to always-tough Forest Park but were able to bring home an 8-4 win over the Rangers. Forest Park is a conference win as well as a team the Vikings could see in the sectional, hosted by the Lady Rangers. “Ashley pitched a real good game for us again and Allie Elpers had a couple of doubles for us,” Gentil said. “Morgan Stierley continued swinging a hot bat and she ended up with three RBIs. She had a single and a
double. Lindauer had a double, as well.” Elderkin again came in and got some experience, getting the last out of the game. “We’re 6-6 now and we are starting to play pretty well together,” Gentil said. “We’re seeing the ball well and getting a lot of hits. Forest Park does a good job as they threw three different pitchers against us and tried to keep us off balance. It was tough for us to get going but once we did, we hit the ball very well.” So when did the big change come in this year’s North Posey team. “I think we turned the corner at Gibson Southern in a game we lost but we outhit them,” Gentil said. “We are playing 11 to 12 girls and Megan Baehl has been our designated player the past three or four games for us and she’s hitting about .333 for us.” The Lady Vikings could well be the besthitting team in the area right now and they look to continue their hitting and see how far over the .500 mark they can get. “I’m very happy that we are where we are right now,” Gentil said. “We’ve still got some things to work on but we want to continue to improve and be playing out best ball when tournament time rolls around.”

Lady Wildcats run record to 6-3 in early season going By Steve Joos Take away the bottom of the fifth inning and the softball game at North Posey would have really been close last week. The Lady Vikings took advantage of what had been a solid Mount Vernon defense to score six runs in the bottom of the fifth and put away the visiting Lady Cats 8-2. “We threw the ball around in the fifth inning,� Mount Vernon coach Dave Bell said. “Until today, we hadn’t committed that many errors so far this year, but we made five (in the North Posey fifth) and you aren’t going to win many games if you do that.� North Posey coach Gary Gentil was pleased with how hard his team played and felt that the girls were aggressive on the bases against a good Mount Vernon team. “We like to play Mount Vernon as much as we can,� Gentil said. “He’s got a tremendous program going right there and they have a very good team.’’ Gentil also felt that his team’s pitcher was able to settle down after a rough start of her own. The Lady Cats touched Ashley Schorr for a run in the top of the first inning, but then the sophomore hurler settled down until the top of the seventh. That lack of hitting in the middle had Bell concerned. “We didn’t swing the bats as well today,� the coach said. “Other than Rhylee Ford, who had three hits, we kind of struggled with the bats.� Part of that was Schorr’s pitching, the coach added, but he also felt that the team was getting out in front of the ball and not waiting for the right pitch. After scouring the first run of the game, the Lady Cats hung on until the bottom of
the third, when Jordan Wassmer and Morgan Steirley both singled, and then Deana Lindauer doubled them both in, all of this happening with two outs. While the Lady Vikings were getting the big hits, Mount Vernon wasn’t, as a two-out double by McKenzie Stratton opening the top of the fourth inning was wasted. Only allowing three outs per inning is Mount Vernon’s defensive mantra, but that wasn’t the case in the bottom of the fifth. Wassmer singled with one out, moved to second on an error, took third when Steirley reached on an error and scored on Taylor Patton’s two-out double, along with Steirley and Ally Elpers, who had walked prior to Patton’s two-bagger. Schorr beat out a bunt for a hit and then two straight dropped fly balls to right field and a single by Megan Redman closed out the scoring. Stratton settled down after that, but the Lady Cats just couldn’t mount anything offensively, except in the top of the seventh, when Ford singled with one out, Amy Seifert doubled and Shelby Ritzert singled. Gentil was impressed with the Lady Wildcats’ speed and power, adding that the Lady Vikings rose to the occasion against the previously unbeaten Lady Cats. In the reserve game, Mount Vernon scored six runs in the first two innings, and then pulled away with five more in the top of the fifth for an 11-7 victory. The Lady Cats ran into more trouble Tuesday night at Howell Park in Evansville, losing to Mater Dei 7-0, before snapping back to outslug Harrison 10-5 at home Wednesday. Mount Vernon did a better job in the field against Mater Dei, but at the plate? Not so
much. What was Mount Vernon’s biggest problem with Mater Dei? Sophomore pitcher Carolyn Wilemes, who fanned 13 Mount Vernon batters, while limiting them to a two-out double by Tayln Tanner in the top of the sixth inning. “She (Wilemes) is pretty good,� Bell said. “This is the second time I know that she has struck out at least 13. She’s a strikeout pitcher, but we’re not putting the ball into play. We didn’t put the ball in play (against North Posey), we didn’t put the ball in play tonight, you look really bad when you don’t hit.� Bell felt that the team played better defensively, but then they didn’t hit the ball and Mater Dei did, which made all the difference. A two-out walk to Seifert in the top of the first accounted for Mount Vernon’s other base runner, while the Evansville team worked over Stratton to the tune of 12 hits, inflicting a series of two-run innings to put the game away. The news wasn’t much better from the reserve game, which was won by Mater Dei 13-0. After a lack of hitting and poor defense resulted in two straight losses, the Lady Cats put things together when Harrison came calling. On Wednesday, things looked good in the early going, as Ford cracked a solo home run in the bottom of the second and the Lady Cats went from there to build a 5-0 lead, but then it starting looking like “here we go again� as Harrison plated five runs to knot things up at 5-5 before the Lady Wildcats took control of the contest.
“We swung the bats,� Bell said. “We swung the bats, got a 5-0 lead, but then in the fifth inning we had a few walks, they swung the bats and got right back in it. When it was 5-5, I thought ‘well, this is a turning point. We’re going to find out what we’re made of and I found out what we’re made of.’� The Lady Cats didn’t waste a lot of time in showing what they were made of. After Stratton relieved Madison Denning and put away Harrison, her teammates started hitting the ball some more. “McKenzie Stratton came in and closed the door, we kept on hitting the ball and didn’t make any errors,� Bell added. “Errorless defense, that’s the name of the game. We gave them three outs each inning. We gave up five runs in that one inning, but other than that, we did a nice job.� Seifert singled, stole second and moved to third on a ground out before scoring the goahead run on a single by Ellie Weilbrenner, who was making her first start of the season. In the bottom of the sixth, consecutive singles, by Brittany Wilson, Tanner, Seifert and Abby Odon brought in two runs, while a throwing error on Weilbrenner’s tapper to the mound scored a third and a ground out by Ford closed out the scoring. The Lady Cats worked on a few things prior to the game and that helped things work out, Bell added. Seifert had three hits, while Ford drove in three runs on the night. Odon, Megan Montgomery and Weilbrenner each had two hits, with Weilbrenner collecting a pair of RBIs in her varsity debut. The reserves erupted for nine runs in the bottom of the third inning and overtook Harrison 17-9 in the nightcap.

Young North Posey Vikings look to improve, gain experience By Steve Joos The North Posey boys’ track team may not always have a lot of success this season, but Mitchell Kuhn can be counted on to get them a few points. That was the case Thursday, as the Vikings finished third in a quadrangular meet at Central, scoring 20 points and coming well behind the first-place Bears (107) and Gibson Southern (84). Wood Memorial was fourth with 10 tallies. Kuhn won the 400-meter dash with a time of :52.64 and finished fourth in the 200-meter, accounting for much of North Posey’s scoring. Kurt Seibert was second in the discus throw, while the 400-meter relay team also finished second. Once again, the girls’ team won the battle for second place behind a fairly dominating force, nudging the host Lady Bears 57-53 to finish well behind Gibson Southern (90). Wood Memorial was fourth with 27 as the Gibson County teams bookended the field. Megan Bender and Olivia Goebel have been the team’s top performers throughout the season, with a little help from Emma Werry and Thursday was no exception. Bender took the 100-meter dash in: 13.28, while Goebel once again owned the distance races, winning the 1,600-meters in 5:58, and the 3,200-meters in 12:56. Werry won the 300-hurdles in :51.92 , while Mackenzie Orlik posted a time of :28.21 in the 200-meters for the other Lady Viking blue ribbon. The boys were third in the first meet of the first meet of the week, a triangular at Pike Central. The Vikings were third in that meet with 16 points, while host Chargers took first with 78 and Mater Dei was second with 68. “We ran into some really good teams this week,” boys’ coach Kevin Gengelbach said. “All three of them have depth, which unfortunately, we do not have.” Despite the Vikings’ lack of depth, several boys did register their personal bests. Kuhn reached personal bests in both the 400-meters and the 100, winning the 400 with a time of: 52.7. Seibert also won the discus with a 124-foot, three-inch throw. The Lady Vikings won the close meet in their triangular at Pike Central, scoring 39 points to edge out the host Lady Chargers (36 and onehalf) ---for second place. Mater Dei dominated the meet with 88 and one-half points. The Lady Wildcats may have won first place, but they couldn’t catch Goebel, who once again swept the distance races. Bender had
the other North Posey blue ribbon by taking first in the 400-dash. Kuhn and Seibert were also the blue ribbon winners in North Posey’s recent 10419 loss at the hands of visiting Princeton. Once again, Kuhn won the 400 and Seibert the shot put. The Lady Vikings edged the Lady Tigers 62-60 in their meet, as Bender and Goebel were each double winners, Bender in the 100- and 400-meters, while Goebel swept the distance events. Bender also ran a leg on the wining 1,600-meter relay team, as did Werry (a blue ribbon winner in the long jump).

One bad inning, lack of ability to hit, spells trouble for Rappites remembers ever being hit out of here, but we hit the ball really hard today and I thought our defense was really solid for us.” And then the game got away from New Harmony due to something else which has bothered them all seasons: the big inning. The Lady Vikings plated seven runs in the top of the second inning to blow the game open. North Posey took advantage of a number of bloop hits, walks and a home run by Deana Lindauer to stretch a 2-0 first inning advantage into a 9-0 bulge. A little bit of everything happened to the Lady Rappites, Moore explained. North Posey dropped in some bloop hits, drew some bases-loaded walks and added some other hits to break things open. Another big blow in the second inning was a key double by Morgan Steirley. Morgan Matthews and Alyssa Scherzinger had the Lady Rappites’ hits Thursday. The team also had a few walks and took advantage of a Lady Viking error, but they just couldn’t hit, leaving the bases loaded in the bottom of the third inning. Three runs in the top of the fourth put the Lady ViNew Harmony junior Morgan Matthews gets a clear view of the kings over the 10-run margin needed to end the game pitch and prepares to hit during Tuesday night’s game against visit- early, but North Posey added five more in the top of ing North Posey. Photo by Dave Koch the fifth after Gentil had cleared the bench. Kayla Hoenhert opened the fifth with a walk, Madi By Steve Joos New Harmony softball coach Jeff Moore was beside himself Elpers beat out an infield hit and Lindauer reached on an error which enabled Hoenhert to score and sent her to second with after last week’s games. “We just can’t hit the ball,” he said after the North Posey one out. After Hayley Harness forced Elpers at the plate, Jessica Lady Vikings dispatched the Lady Rappites in five innings Gries and Amy Brandenstein each singled home runs. The win gave North Posey a 2-0 record against county teams Thursday night 17-0. “I don’t know what to do. I’ve been asking coaches, everybody and they said ‘hang in there, practice this week after they beat the Mount Vernon Lady Wildcats earthem hard. They’re (North Posey) a good team, but I don’t think lier. “This is kind of fun for us,” Gentil said. “Playing everybody, they’re 17 runs better than us.” The Lady Rappites’ slump over the first few weeks of the I think it’s really exciting.” The North Posey coach said that the Lady Rappites showed season is something new for Moore, who has been coaching softball for 20 years. The team practices hitting all the time and some potential and handled themselves well, adding that the unput forth a good effort defensively against a North Posey squad derclassmen looked promising and that he was looking forward which Moore was highly impressed with, but they just couldn’t to seeing some of them playing at North Posey next season. Moore was pleased with the turnout Thursday, adding that it swing the bats. was a good showing for both teams. Lady Vikings’ coach Gary Gentil was pleased with the way Both of New Harmony’s pitchers have been struggling with his team played, adding that North Posey hit the ball well. “We had some girls stay active on seeing the ball and driv- sore arms, Moore added, but he doesn’t have much of a choice ing it hard,” the coach said. “Deana Lindauer hit the ball hard, but to send Morgan Matthews and Kelsey Owen out to the she hit the home run, coach Moore said that’s the first one he mound, especially with a grueling schedule (five games in six days) ahead this week. But if a team can’t hit, they can’t win. Moore would have liked to have seen his team perform better against the Lady Vikings, since most of the team will be playing for North Posey next year, but he felt that Gentil was able to see what the girls who will be playing at North Posey are capable of. “I’ve got to get a win for these girls,” the coach said. “Their morale is getting low and I’ve got to get them a win.” The Lady Rappites’ hitting slump has been going on for a while, as they fell at Tecum-

seh, 10-0 in five innings under the 10-run rule recently. New Harmony only managed one hit and was riddled by a 14-hit Lady Braves attack. Tecumseh plated five runs in the bottom of the fourth to put the game away, taking advantage of two Lady Rappite errors. Morgan Matthews started and took the loss for New Harmony, while also collecting the team’s only hit of the game. New Harmony also dropped an 11-0 decision at Mount Carmel Tuesday night where they were held to three hits, including a double by Jordan Lyke and singles by Owen and Kendall Morris. The Lady Rappites were to have opened their season last week with a game at Gallatin County, but that contest was called off due to a lack of players on the part of the Illinois school. Five Lady Hawks were unavailable due to a class field trip, Moore said, adding that the two schools are working on a makeup date. The Lady Rappites’ home game with Washington Catholic set for Friday night was cancelled, Moore said, adding that for some reason, each of New Harmony’s games with the Lady Cardinals was called off.
Link Vikings show progress, but... They’re still struggling, but the North Posey boys’ golf team displayed some signs of life last week. In fact, their top man in last week’s meet against a Pocket Athletic Conference opponent outshot the player from their incoming teammates (New Harmony’s two-man contingent of Kyle Whitmore and Clint Matthews). The Vikings showed some progress Tuesday despite a 154-230 loss to Heritage Hills at Christmas Lake. Jamie Easterling managed to break 50, carding a 47 to pace North Posey. He was even ahead of the New Harmony golfers who came along to the site of this year’s Regional. That was the good news. The bad news? North Posey still couldn’t get most of their team under 50. They were all chasing the Patriots, as Travis Waninger fired a 35 to pace Heritage Hills and the rest of the foursome outshot Easterling. Not only that, but the Patriots’ entire foursome finished
ahead of Easterling or any other North Posey golfer. In addition to Waninger, Cody VanWinkle carded a 38, while Preston VanWinkle shot a 40 and Nick Keaford registered a 41, six strokes in front of the number one Viking. Darren O’Risky was second on the squad with a 58, while Tyler Stock shot a 62 and Chase Wildeman a 63 to round out the North Posey foursome. Easterling was three strokes ahead of Whitmore (50) and Matthews (56), but the Rappite contingent was still able to get into the gap between North Posey’s top two. The week started for North Posey with a 183-230 loss to Central at Helfrich Hills. Once again, the New Harmony contingent seemed to have it better than North Posey, as Whitmore shot a 47 and Matthews a 48, both scores that would have made them more competitive with the Vikings, as Stock paced North Posey with a 53 and Easterling added a 54. O’Risky added a 50 and Wildeman a 63 to complete the North Posey foursome.
State parks seek summer interns The DNR Division of State Parks & Reservoirs seeks to add 17 volunteer participants for May through August to Indiana Heritage Corps (IHC), an AmeriCorps program in which participants complete trail work at four state parks. On-site housing, a living allowance of $335 per month, an education stipend ($1,468 before taxes) and hands-on experience are provided, as well as a chance to earn college internship credit and live at a state park. Volunteers will serve at Pokagon (in Angola, four positions), Fort Harrison (in Indianapolis, six positions), Brown County (in Nashville, three positions), or O’Bannon Woods (in Corydon, four positions) cleaning, restoring, and constructing 20 cumulative miles of trail in the four parks. IHC candidates should be at least 17 years of age, U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, be able to pass a strict FBI background check, and be able to make an four-month commitment to the program (May 7 through Aug. 17). IHC, which started Jan. 1, is funded through Indiana’s Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives.

Tennis Lady Vikings get back on track Singles night puts Wildcats past North Posey
needed a tiebreak in the third contest for a 6-3, 4-6, 7-6(1) win over Terra May and Syd Selby. Shelby Ackerman posted a 6-4, 6 -3 win at first singles over Trisha Nalley, while Megan Durcholz took down Kristen Miller 6-0, 6 -3 at third singles. Wendi Simpson and Kendall Reidford won at first doubles 6-2, 6 -3 over Haley Church and Emily Howes. On Thursday, the Lady Vikings showed that they could win outside the PAC by shutting out Reitz in a meet that was closer than it looked. How much closer? Well, Ackerman was a 6-2, 6-3 winner over the Panthers’ Mariah Bradley at first singles, but that was the most comfortable margin for the Lady Vikings, as they won three spots in two sets and needed a first-set tiebreaker to nail down the first set in two more. Thomas outdueled Olivia Gavin in the opening contest at second singles and then cruised to a 7-6(5), 6 -1 win. It was even hairier after that, as Durcholz needed three sets to claim a 3-6, 6-4,10-5 victory over Leah
Adams at third singles and first singles was another battle, with Simpson and Reidford pulling out a 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 decision over Alyssa Brothers and Ashlee Powers. Droege and Brown were also pushed in their match at second doubles, pulling out a 7-6(5), 7-5 win over Shelby Brevin and Cassidy Osborne. The Lady Viking reserves kept rolling, with wins over Pike Central 4-1, and Reitz 2-1.
Butler does it for IU-East in two meets The Butler did it. Ty Butler, that is. The former North Posey boys’ tennis standout won his second singles match of the week Saturday, helping the Indiana University East Redwolves to a 6-3 win over the visiting St. Louis College of Pharmacy. Butler then joined up with a different partner, Jake Welsh, to beat Cline and Nick Colby 8-5 at first doubles as the Redwolves won their third meet of the season and squared their Kentucky-Indiana Athletic Conference record at 2-2 heading into Monday’s meet with Division II Central State University.
Butler was one of the bright spots in IU-East’s recent 7-2 loss to visiting Oakland City University, posting a win at first singles and then teaming with Adam Dengowski to win at first doubles. Butler’s two wins meant a better day overall for the Redwolves, who were shut out by the Mighty Oaks 9-0 in an earlier meeting at Oakland City. The Redwolves ran into trouble Thursday, losing 9-0 to 14-1 Earlham College at Richmond, but Butler and Dengowski provided some excitement, coming close at second doubles before falling to Anton Barteshevich and Gus Schuerger 9-8 (10-6).

That was quick. The North Posey girls’ tennis team struggled near the end of their first week, but the Lady Vikings didn’t stay in a slump for long. After a close loss to Mount Vernon and a fourth place finish in the Gibson Southern Invitational, the North Posey girls’ tennis team got back on the winning track early last week by blanking the visitors from Pike Central 5-0 and then taking another coat of whitewash out and applying it to the visiting Reitz Lady Panthers with a 5-0 win on Thursday. The Lady Vikings are 4-1 in dual meets on the young season and they’re already 3-0 in the Pocket Athletic Conference. How they did it was based a little bit on who they were playing, as both Natalie Thomas and the second doubles team had to survive three-setters to claim their spots. Thomas shook off losing a second-set tiebreaker by winning another tiebreaker in the third set and posting a 6-4, 6-7(3),10-7 decision over Sam Selby at second singles, while Lindsay Droege and Bri Brown
Overall, Barrett felt that the Lady Wildcats were going to win some matches with the singles spots and they could even be more formidable by throwing in a doubles spot or two. Footwork was a big key for the Lady Wildcat singles, Barrett added “You’re not going to see many players like Jenna Reidford at number two singles,” the coach said. “When you play a player like that, it’s hard to win. Schroeder is one of the best singles players we’ll see this year and O’Neil was a wall today as well.” As for the doubles teams, Barrett lauded his first doubles duo’s experience. Simpson and Kendall Reidford have been playing together for three years and know where they are at on the court all the time. They rallied from a 4-2 deficit in the second set and clinched their match, while Droege and Brown played well in their second pairing. Barrett was happy with the way his team never gave up and hopes they can keep getting better through the Sectional, where he’d like to see a rematch with Mount Vernon. Mount Vernon coach Steve Schroeder complemented the Lady Vikings for their efforts, adding that the two teams always played close matches. The Lady Cats were actually a point or two shy of a win the season opener—and a 2-0 mark against Pocket Athletic

With the windy conditions at North Posey, it was important for the players to be moving their feet, Salaman explained, adding the coaches emphasized that prior to the match. “You have to get in there and move your feet,” the coach said. “You have to move your feet and get in a position to hit the ball, because you never know where it’s going in this wind. We stressed that to the girls and hopefully they listened to us.” Salaman hoped the team was in position and the singles players definitely were listening. Jenna Reidford, Mount Vernon’s only winner against the Lady Titans, was first off the courts after beating Natalie Thomas 6-0, 6-3. Third singles was next, as Sara O’Neil, one of two Mount Vernon slots to lose in three sets at Fort Branch came off with a 7-5, 6-1 decision over Durcholz. North Posey’s Wendi Simpson and Kendall Reidford got a lick in for the Lady Vikings by topping Hayley Salaman and Livia Hopper 6-2, 7-5 at first doubles, but shortly after that, Claire Schroeder nailed down the meet for Mount Vernon with a 6-1, 6-0 decision over Shelby Ackerman at first singles. Salaman felt that having a match under the team’s belt helped Mount Vernon get ready for the contest with the Lady Vikings, adding that the two teams played a close contest in 2011, only this time Mount Vernon was on top at the end. Salaman was pleased with the team’s effort and felt that picking up a win could only help Mount Vernon going forward. Lindsey Droege and Brown topped Audrey Summers and Lexi Willis at second doubles 6-4, 6-4, while the Lady Vikings took the reserve contest 5-0. Barrett thought that Durchholz did the best she could, but that O’Neil did a very good job of moving her feet and keeping the ball in play.
By Steve Joos How did the Mount Vernon girls’ tennis team win their recent county battle at North Posey? It wasn’t one singular sensation, it was more like three of them. The Lady Wildcats swept the singles spots and that was enough to claim a 3-2 victory over the Lady Vikings at the windswept North Posey tennis courts. After struggling in a hardfought season opener at Gibson Southern, Mount Vernon took advantage of the experience and played a stronger contest, especially at the singles spots. “We had a difficult match our first match against Gibson Southern,” Lady Cats’ coach Mike Salaman said. “So it’s always nice to get a win.” Lady Vikings’ coach Brandon Barrett thought both teams played to their strengths (he definitely thought that was the case for North Posey). “I’m just trying to get a lineup figured out,” Barrett said. “The first two matches of the year, I had Megan Durcholz at two doubles and then she was three singles (against South Spencer) and I’ve had Bri Brown going back and forth between two doubles and three singles. It takes time to get to gel with your partners.”

Please see CATS, Page B6 Conference competition. “The scores were very close,” Salaman said. “Another point or two and we could have come out on top 3-2, so the score was closer than 4-1.” Actually the Lady Cats were encouraged by the team’s efforts at Gibson Southern, Salaman added. Schoreder also felt that the experience was good for the Lady Cats, adding that his team played well despite the one-sided score. He also complimented the Lady Titans for their efforts, adding that Schoreder dropped a match to one of the better first singles’ players in the area in Gibson Southern’s Lori Titzer. Mount Vernon went from a split with the PAC to a pair of rough home meets against two other packs of Lady Wildcats this week. On Tuesday, it was all Jasper, as the visitors posted a 5-0 win. Schroeder didn’t go down without a fight at first singles, but fell short in the second set and lost to Abby Rodgers 6-2, 7-5. Ali Shatter was a 6-1, 6-1 winner over Reidford and McKenzie Holismeyer topped O’Neill 6-2, 6-0 as Jasper rolled through the singles spots. At doubles, Salaman and Hopper fell to Elizabeth Theil and Ashley Rodgers 6-1, 6-0, while Hannah Walden and Brie Kurtz were 6-1, 6-0 winners over Summers and Zoe Burkhart. On Thursday night, Mount Vernon found itself in another “Cat fight” (if it could be
called that) and lost to visiting Mater Dei 4-1. On the other hand, Thursday’s meet might have been as competitive as the season opener, since both doubles’ spots went to three sets and Mount Vernon once again came up just a little bit short. Reidford posted the only triumph of the evening for Mount Vernon, beating Katherine Bender 6-3, 6-0, at second singles, while once again the doubles came oh so close. At first doubles, Summers and Hopper gave Jenna Smith and Victoria Richmond a battle in the last two sets before going down 6-1, 6-7, 7-6, while Salaman and Burkhart were competitive in the their second pairing at second doubles. That was the good news. The bad news? A 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 loss at the hands of Jamie Logel and Megan Steinkamp. Claire Alvey was a 6-4, 6-1 winner over Schroeder at first singles, while Emily McAtee topped O’Neil 6-4, 6-1 at third singles. In the season opener, Reidford was a 6-3, 7-6 winner over Allison Goedde at second singles, while O’Neill pushed Sydney Hirsch at third singles before falling 6-2, 4-6, 7-5. Summers and Willis also gave Mariah Chamberland and Sydney Fenton a battle before falling to the Lady Titans’ duo 3-6, 6-3, 6-3. Titzer posted a 6-4, 6-2 win over Schroeder at first singles while Alyssa Kissel and
Rachel Senesemeier were 6-0, 6-1 winners
over Salaman and Hopper at first doubles.

Reising has inspired many with her teaching and writing Longtime Poseyville resident Linda Reising is writing for the good of all souls in retirement—after 32 years of teaching English, 27 of them at North Posey Junior High School. Just as she did in the classroom, Reising now inspires through her publications of poetry, fiction and non-fiction. This year alone, she has won the prestigious Writer’s Digest Poetry Contest—earning first place in nonrhyming poetry and honorable mention (among the top 25) in rhyming poetry. Her poetry was recognized as the best out of at least 2,500 entries from across the nation. The first place prize brings a number of free books along with a $500 prize in addition to an all-expenses paid trip to the January 2013 Writer’s Digest Conference in New York City. Both of her winning poems will be published this May in Writer’s Digest anthology of the top 50 contest entries. The July/ August issue of Writer’s Digest will
feature her first place poem, “An Educated Woman Explains Why She Likes Bluegrass.” She will read that poem and more during three upcoming open mike poetry gatherings free to the public, two of them in Posey County. One meets on Wednesday, April 18, 7 p.m., at Poseyville’s Carnegie Library, with another scheduled the following Tuesday, April 24, 6 p.m. at the Working Men’s Institute in New Harmony. Reising has made creative writing her practice since she was 8 years old. She insists, “If I never had another word published, I would still write. It’s not a conscious choice.” Readers may be most familiar with her fine prose articles appearing in the online publication, “Posey Magazine.” Her writing has been published in “The Southern Indiana Review,” “Comstock Review,” “Nimrod” and “Open 24 Hours.” Her work has been
included in “Fruitflesh: Seeds of Inspiration for Women Who Write,” a book published by HarperCollins, and “And Know This Place-Poetry of Indiana,” published by the Indiana Historical Society. She also has a sonnet published in “Storm Country,” an anthology to benefit the victims of the Joplin, Missouri, tornado. Unsurprisingly, the Writer’s Digest Poetry Contest win represents only one of several awards presented to Reising just in the past four years. She was named the first place winner of the 2009 Judith Siegel Pearson Writing Award, a national competition for a collection of poetry concerning women. She was also the only double winner in the 2010 Gondwana Press “Route 66” writing competition. Her poem and short story were published in “Lost on Route 66, Tales of the Mother Road.” Most recently, Linda’s book “Women at Forty” was named one of the six finalists in the
“Pathways” International Poetry Contest for Women, and she was a finalist in Southwest Review’s Morton Marr Poetry Prize for formal poetry. She was also named a winner in the 2011 St. Louis Writers’ Guild annual contest. An Oklahoma native, Reising is a member of the Western Cherokee Nation and still intrigues North Posey students with the story of her ancestors’ walk on the Trail of Tears. After meeting and marrying in Oklahoma, she and Poseyville native Jim Reising moved back to his hometown in 1980. Also an educator, Jim devoted 30 years to the University of Evansville as a professor in the electrical engineering department. The couple spends as much time as possible with daughter Hope Staubitz and her hus-
band Mike, and their son Reid (8). “Reid is the light of my life,” Reising admits without hesitation.

• A stroke is a medical emergency. Prompt treatment is crucial. Early Action can minimize brain damage and potential complications. • The good news is strokes can be treated and prevented. Fewer Americans die of strokes than 15 years ago. • Better control of major stroke risk-factors, high blood pressure, smoking and high cholesterol are likely for the decline. • Ask your Physicians about how you can reduce your stroke risk factors.

BUY A TICKET TO PARADISE SUPPORT 1ST ANNUAL WOMEN’S FUND OF POSEY COUNTY GARDEN WALK Posey County residents can buy a ticket to Paradise for only $12 per person from now until Saturday, May 5, 2012. On May 5, admission goes up to $15 per person. The Women’s Fund of Posey County is arranging a viewing of holy ground on that Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. during its First Annual Garden Walk. (Rain date is set for Sunday, May 6.) The walk will feature seven gardens, starting with the Mount Vernon riverfront rain garden and moving to five residences with a stop also at St. John Episcopal Church’s prayer garden. Two gardening couples will offer a tour of their homes as well. On the day of the walk, tickets may be purchased and must be presented at the riverfront park for admission to the gardens, including the riverfront rain garden. Each person will receive street addresses and maps in exchange for a ticket and can then chart their own path through the five residential gardens and St. John’s prayer garden. The residential gardens include the country garden of Don and Judy Heberer, a Master Gardener; the terraced rock garden of Joyce Stevens; the city oasis of John and Nancy Case, complete with a home tour; the formal front garden and back naturalist garden of Steve and Mary Fuelling; and the cottage waterfall garden of Mike and Carol Smith, joined with a home tour. “One could travel the U.S. and not find any gardens more beautiful than those featured on our tour. They all are uniquely different and will allow each of us to enjoy the beauty here at home in Posey County,” comments Marcie Miller, member ex officio (past president) of the Women’s Fund. Light refreshments will be served at every garden. Several businesses have donated door prizes for giveaways at each location. Compton’s Flower Patch in Griffin has donated, for example, a hanging basket, and Guilty Pleasures Flowers and Gifts in Mount Vernon has donated a wreath. Additional door prizes will come from Hasting Plants and Produce in Point Township, the Little Crazy Daisy in Poseyville and the Mount Vernon Flower Shop. Tickets may be purchased in advance at these same locations as well as at the Posey County Community Foundation office on the second floor of Old National Bank and at McKim’s IGA in Mount Vernon and at the Golden Rose in New Harmony. The Women’s Fund of Posey County, a branch of the Posey County Community Foundation, was established in 2004. Its goal is to support programs providing opportunities, encouragement, knowledge and hope to women and children in Posey County. Since its inception, the Women’s Fund has granted over $45,000 to organizations such as Family Matters, Willowtree, Girl Power at West and Farmersville elementary schools and Impact Christian Health Center in Posey County. The organization plans for the Garden Walk to become an annual event with the hope of expanding to include gardens in northern Posey County as well. The public is encouraged to support this worthwhile effort. After all, we all look forward to a taste of Eden and Paradise regained. Story and photos by Pam Robinson. Design by Zach Straw. Picture at right submitted. ADVANCE TICKETS for the Garden Walk can be purchased for $12.00 at the following locations: Crazy Little Daisy • Poseyville Golden Rose • New Harmony McKim’s IGA • Mount Vernon Guilty Pleasures • Mount Vernon Mt. Vernon Flower Shop • Mount Vernon Hasting Plant Sales • Mount Vernon Compton’s • Griffin Tickets will also be available on the DAY OF THE EVENT at the Mount Vernon Riverfront Rain Garden for $15.00.
