North Posey to offer ‘early learning initiative’ in fall By Valerie Werkmeister For some, it’s a year too late. For others, it’s ‘none too soon’. Regardless of where you fall, North Posey School administrators hope their decision to offer all-day kindergarten proves to be a popular one. During last Monday’s school board meeting, the board passed what they called an “early learning initiative.” It involves a package of programs designed to help children be successful in school during their early years. In addition to all-day kindergarten starting this fall, North Posey also intends to offer a head-start program, pre-school program and a latchkey kid program. According to Superintendent Dr. Todd Camp, demand for each program will determine the number of teachers they will need to hire. Approximately 50 students signed up for kindergarten during North Elementary’s (NE) registration last week. South Terrace
Elementary (ST) will hold their kindergarten registration tonight (April 19) at 6 p.m. Staff numbers needed for this program could be presented as early as the May board meeting. Official job postings would come after the board’s approval. “We’ve had a lot of push from the community to do an all-day kindergarten program,” Camp said. He explained that things fell into place financially for this to be an opportune time for the MSD of North Posey to offer it. The state offers grants that pay $1,000 per student. Camp stated three teachers have announced plans to retire at the end of the school year. This will help the district save money since entry-level teachers who would replace the retirees will not receive the same high salaries. Camp feels that with the combination of state grant funds and the reduction in salary payouts, all-day kindergarten will be cost
neutral. A head-start program will be available to children ages three to five years old based on poverty- level income qualifications. It is a federally funded half-day program, so parents will not need to pay a fee. However, they will need to provide their own transportation. The school district is still in discussions with the county Head-Start program and all plans are still in the preliminary stages. The latchkey kid program will provide after school care in a safe environment for students. School officials are currently in discussions with the YMCA to administer this fee-based program. Again, parents will need to provide their own transportation. The pre-school program will benefit children ages three to five-years-old. Tentative plans are to hold a three to four-year-old class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 a.m. – noon. Children will also have the opportunity
to eat lunch at school at an additional cost to parents. The class will have no more than 15 children. Plans for a five-year-old class would be Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the same time frame. Fees have not been finalized yet, but the initial plans include $80 for the three to four-year-old class and $120 for the five-year-old class. The cap for the fiveyear-old class is tentatively set for 20 students. A minimum of 10 children will need to enroll for each pre-school class in order for the program to begin this Fall. Currently, the three teachers who have announced their plans to retire at the end of the school year include long-time high school art teacher, David Rodenburg, ST teacher, Pamela Titzer and NE teacher, Janet Spahn.

Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth has announced participation in the Second Nationwide Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. The event, in partnership with the Drug Enforcement Administration, will give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous unwanted prescription drugs. Prescription Drug Take-Back Day will be held on Saturday, April 30, from 9 a.m. until noon. Posey County collection sites will be located at the Posey County Sheriff’s Office, and the Poseyville Police Department. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Prescription drug abuse in the United States is increasing at an alarmingly high rate. Studies now show that more Americans currently abuse prescription drugs than the number of those using cocaine, hallucinogens, and heroin combined. The majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, with the supply often coming from medicine cabinets found in the home. Preventing these readily available and potentially deadly drugs from being diverted and misused is something each of us can do to help reduce the epidemic of prescription drug abuse. The overwhelming public response to the first Take-Back event last fall not only removed potentially harmful prescription drugs from homes, but was an unprecedented opportunity to educate everyone about the growing prescription drug abuse problem. Sheriff Oeth encour-

Shrimp Scampi
INGREDIENTS • 1 pound large (16-20 count) shrimp, shelled* and de-veined (If you are using frozen shrimp, defrost them quickly and safely by putting the shrimp in a large bowl of ice water.) • Salt • 3-4 garlic cloves, slivered, or 1 Tbsp minced garlic • 2 tablespoons olive oil • 2-3 tablespoons butter • 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley • 1/2 cup white wine • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes • Freshly ground black pepper to taste • 1 Tbsp lemon juice DIRECTIONS 1. Heat a sauté pan on high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-high and add the olive oil and butter. Once the butter melts, foams up and subsides, add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for a minute, or until you see the edges of some of the garlic just beginning to brown. 2. As soon as the garlic begins to brown, add the shrimp to the pan. Then add the white wine and stir to combine and coat the shrimp with the butter, oil, and wine. Spread the shrimp out in an even layer in the pan. Increase the heat to the highest setting and let the wine boil vigorously for 2-3 minutes. 3. Turn the shrimp over, or toss them so the cooked sides are mostly facing up, and boil the wine for another minute. Remove from the heat, add the parsley and toss to combine. Add the lemon juice and black pepper. 4. Serve alone, with crusty bread, over pasta, or over rice (for gluten-free version). Yield: Serves 4.

COMMUNITY C OM MM MUNITY Swans missing from New Harmony Inn On August 12, 2009, New Harmony Inn issued a news release about purchasing a European mute swan from Ron Young, owner of A to Z Animal Care Specialists in Evansville Indiana.

living in his new lakeside home, this week Windsor and his accomplice, Buckingham (an addition to New Harmony Inn’s swan family) decided to take an adventure on the Wabash River by way of high river water.

WMI News
By Sherry Graves
The Daily Citizen operated by Mr. J. M. Swords continued to report the news of the Civil War even as Vicksburg was under siege from Union forces. The siege began on May 18, 1863. By July 2, 1863 the situation was desperate. The constant shelling of the town had caused much of the population to flee to nearby caves. All supplies were low, especially food. Many Vicksburg citizens ventured outside their cave dwellings when the shelling stopped to cook their days ration of mule meat and read The Daily Citizen. Amid the shelling and general disorder of a city under siege, Mr. Swords managed to keep the paper going. He reported Yankee news gleaned from the Washington Star. He reported local news – news of deaths and news of the siege. He tried to be upbeat in the face of mounting difficulties. By the time he was putting the July 2nd issue together, he had run out of newsprint
and was putting out the newspaper on wallpaper. Swords was determined to keep his subscribers not only informed but encouraged. In the July 2 issue he reports that mule meat was sweet, savory and tender – good news to a population who were running out of choices. He writes of Grant boasting that he will celebrate the 4th of July in Vicksburg. But Mr. Swords is ready to remind Grant and the citizens of Vicksburg that he must capture the city before he eats in it. “The way to cook a rabbit is to catch it first.” But before the July 2 issue could be run, the unthinkable happened. And so in the lower right hand corner of the paper, Mr. Swords ends with the following: Note. July 4, 1863. Two days bring about great changes. The banner of the Union floats over Vicksburg. Gen. Grant has “caught the rabbit” he has dined in Vicksburg, and he did bring his dinner
with him. The “Citizen” lives to see it. For the last time it appears on wallpaper. No more eulogizing the luxury of mule meat or fricasseed kitten – urge Southern warriors to such diet never more. This is the last wallpaper edition, and is excepting this note, from the types as we found them. It will be valuable hereafter as a curiosity. Mr. Swords was right about that. The last wallpaper edition of The Daily Citizen” must have been a collector’s item as it rolled of the press. And how did a copy end up in New Harmony. As it turns out a number of New Harmony men were involved in the siege of Vicksburg. Surely it was one of those historically minded individuals who saw the significance of this paper and brought it home. In time it made its way to the WMI. Our Town Coffee Hour, today, April 19 at 10 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. Subject: New Harmony in the Civil War. Please join us. Refreshments served.

Pro-lifers celebrate abortion bill passage Indiana Right to Life is applauding the Indiana Senate for yesterday's passage of House Bill 1474 by a 48-0 vote. The bill carries provisions that Indiana's abortion reporting requirements be amended to require that any abortion done on a girl under the age of 14 be reported to the department of child services within three days of the abortion in order to streamline the reporting of child sexual abuse. The bill also requires that pregnancy termination reports list the age of the father as another provision to help
authorities identify potential cases of child sexual abuse. Another provision of the bill will create a greater degree of accountability for abortion providers in reporting abortions in accordance with state law by requiring that the date the report was received by the state be included on the report. Abortions done in Indiana are required to be reported within six months of the abortion, but current Indiana abortion reports have made that provision virtually unenforceable by failing to provide the date on which
The animal stories that have been told during Lent at Trinity United Church of Christ (Fifth and Mulberry Streets) have proven so popular that they will continue during Holy Week. The public is invited to join in the experiences. On April 21 at 7 p.m., Muffy, the lamb, will help people understand the Passover and the events during and after Jesus’ Last Supper. Trinity Church’s observance includes Holy Communion and the “stripping of the chancel.” On Good Friday, April 22 at 7 p.m. the Tenebrae Service of growing darkness will include the Passion Story according to Matthew, interspersed with many songs. The extinguishing of candles will visually convey the chaos, disobedience, separation, sin, and death that are at the core of the Passion of Christ. People who gather for the Sunrise Easter
Service at 6:30 a.m. on April 24 are invited to bring flowers from their garden to attach to the Resurrection Cross that will be near the 5th Street handicapped entrance that leads to the elevator in Trinity Church. The indoor sunrise service features a dramatic presentation that explains the connection between fish and the resurrection. A breakfast will follow the service. Reservations may be made by calling the church at 812-838-3805. The Easter Children’s Hour will be held at 9 a.m. on April 24 in the Educational Building of Trinity. A brass ensemble will be featured during the 10:10 Festive Easter Worship on April 24. The service also includes Holy Communion. People may bring flowers to the Resurrection Cross on 5th Street throughout the day. Trinity UCC has both a ramp and an indoor elevator to facilitate access to the services, meal, and children’s program.
the report was received by the state. Each failure to report an abortion in Indiana is a Class B misdemeanor.

Sermon of the Week: Christians celebrate salvation’s greatest event Courtesy of General Baptist Pastoral Ministries As one sent from Christ, you have the great privilege of proclaiming hope in Him. The night before He went to the cross, Christ was thinking about those who would be His messengers. The Williams translation of John 13:20 is as follows. "'I most solemnly say to you, whoever welcomes any messenger I send welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes Him who has sent me.'" Objectively speaking, it was more likely that those gathered with Jesus would contribute to the failure of His message. They began to bicker as to whom would be the greatest. When Jesus was arrested, every one of them turned from Him. Even worse was the presence of opposing darkness in the life of Judas. It is in such situations that the resurrection message gives hope. Like the attempt of Judas, no power of darkness can derail or destroy the transforming power of
Christ. In contrast, those who receive Him become His messenger of life. And He calls some to be pastors/teachers in His Church. Commenting on this Scripture, Arthur Pink states, "The apostles were the ambassadors of the Lord, and in the person of an ambassador the sovereign himself is received or set at naught. As His ambassadors, how circumspectly ought each of His servants to walk! And as His ambassadors, how dutiful and respectful in its reception should the Church be of them! As He was sent from the Father, so they were sent from Him. By this gracious analogy He arms them with authority and inspires them with courage. Thus the Lord fully identifies them with Himself" (Exposition of the Gospel of John, Arthur W. Pink, p 731). Through the power of the gospel, you will be offering life to the living dead, confidence to those afraid to live, deliverance to those held
captive by addictions, love to those suffering from being unloved, peace to those griped by worry, deliverance to those entrapped by material things, hope to the hopeless, and encouragement to the faithful. Because of His death and resurrection, Christ offers life and new beginnings. Easter is a time to celebrate this reality.

Deadline nears for Baier Youth Award The deadline for submitting applications for the Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award is rapidly nearing. The Award, in the amount of $500, is given annually to a high school junior who resides in Posey County and who is involved in community activities in Posey County. Applications must be postmarked no later than May 2, 2011, for consideration. The Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award was created in September 2007 in honor of Elizabeth D. Baier’s 25th Anniversary as Executive Director of the United Way of Posey County. Michelle Hudson, chairperson of the committee charged with the task of selecting an Award recipient, said “ The United Way of Posey County wanted to recognize Elizabeth for her service to the United Way, but we also wanted to honor her for her many years of leadership, community involvement, and volunteer services to Posey County. An award recognizing exemplary volunteerism by young people had been a dream of Elizabeth’s for many years, so the creation of the Youth Spirit Award in her name seemed to be the perfect way to honor her.” Funding for the Award was obtained entirely through private donations. An applicant for the Award must be a Posey County resident but may attend high school in
Posey, Gibson, or Vanderburgh Counties or may be home schooled. Applicants for this year’s Award must currently be in their junior year in high school and a member of the graduating class of 2012. Applicants must have exhibited outstanding leadership, volunteerism, and community involvement. Two or three letters of recommendation must accompany the application. The Award recipient will be notified no later than June 15, 2011. An organization may nominate a student for the Award and provide supporting letters, but the nominated student must complete the application. The Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award was given for the first time in 2009 and was awarded to Abbigail Mayer, a student at North Posey Senior High School. Last year’s recipient was Johnathan Bradford, a student at Mount Vernon Senior High School. The Award for 2011 will be presented at the United Way of Posey County Leadership Giving Dinner in August. Applications for the Award have been mailed to schools, churches, clubs and civic organizations. Students wishing to apply for the Award may obtain an application at the office of the United Way of Posey County, 128 West Third Street, Mount Vernon, Ind.

Register now for June ACT Test Registration is now open for the June 11, 2011 ACT achievement test. Students who wish to take the college admission and placement exam must register before May 6, 2011. The ACT is a curriculumbased achievement exam. It tests what students have actually learned in school, not their aptitude for learning. The ACT also measures what students need to know to be ready for first year credit-bearing college courses based on ACT College Readiness Standards™. Every student’s results can be tied directly to these consistent standards. The ACT has four sections—English, mathematics, reading and science— and takes about three hours to complete. Students who take the ACT Plus Writing complete an optional writing test that requires an additional 30 minutes. Unlike other exams, students are not penalized for guessing or answering all the questions on each test section. In fact, it is beneficial for test takers to answer all questions within the time allowed. During registration, students may select up to four universities to receive their score reports. ACT scores are accepted by all four-year colleges and universities across the United States.
ACT reports scores only when requested to do so by the student. Additional score reports are available for a small fee. All students complete a detailed inventory of questions during ACT registration. Each test taker receives an ACT score report that includes a wide variety of information to assist with high school course selection, college readiness, career planning, and college admissions. The cost for the ACT test without writing is $33. When combined with the optional ACT Writing Test, the total cost is $48. Students who qualify may apply for a fee waiver through their high school counselor. The ACT website, www. actstudent.org, has helpful information, free sample items, and options to order inexpensive test prep materials to assist test takers get ready for the exam. However, the best preparation is to take rigorous core courses in school, study hard, and learn the academic skills needed in college. Most students register online at www.actstudent. org. Students may also pick up registration forms from their high school counseling offices. Late registration is available until May 20, 2011 for an additional $21 fee.

Volunteers representing livestock species that are shown at the 4-H Fair, agribusiness representatives, Members of the Fair Board, and others have been meeting over the past few months to determine the best way to replace and / or refurbish the livestock barns and show arena at the Fairgrounds that were constructed some 50 years ago. The current structures are inadequate, in ill repair, and in much need of improvement. After a variety of suggestions it has ben decided that a three part plan be initiated. The first part is to demolish the current 24' X 48' arena and replace it with a 48' X 72' structure with 16' extensions on each side making it 104' wide. After this a 70' X 100' Horse Barn would be constructed in prox-
in the work, do a great job,
bills, listening to debates and delivering important messages among senators and staff. “This program is not only a wonderful opportunity for our young people, but important for Indiana government as well, because it brings the textbook to life and shows students how citizens can work with lawmakers to constructively improve our communities and state,” Tomes said.
Way offers workshop on volunteer management New Show Arena to be built at Fairgrounds United The United Way of Posey volunteers who are happy and are more likely to stay imity to the horse show arena. This barn would have be complete with metal stalls. Once the second phase is completed the stalls in the current horse, beef, goat, and sheep area would be renovated for beef, goats, and sheep only giving them more space. To accomplish all of this it is projected that $185,000 will be required. The group has already raised nearly $20,000 and will soon mail solcitations to area residents and businesses. The funds are being placed in a separate bank account with the understanding that if the project does not proceed that the funds will either be returned or redirected at the direction of the donors. The purpose of this project is to improve the safety of animals as well as the 4 - H participants and general public
giving Posey County a facility that can be expanded and that we can all be proud of for the next 50 years. It is hoped that phase one can begin soon as plans are now in the hands of an engineer and will soon be submitted to the state for their approval. If you would like to donate, no amount is too large or too small, or learn more about this project you are welcome to call any of the Fair Board members or Committee members. Jim Swinney 838-4468 is serving as Funds Chairperson, B. J. Reyolds 491-5435 as Construction Chairperson, and Jon Neufelder 838-1331 as respresentative from the Extension Office. This will be a community wide project with all tax deductible donations going to the Posey County 4 - H Fair Association.
Prelimary results of the Big Creek Grant presented A public meeting is being held May 17 at 10 a.m. (or following the commissioner’s meeting) to present initial findings of a hydraulic study conducted on the Big Creek bottoms and preliminary designs to stabilize eroding sections of the creek. The study is being funded through a Lake and River Enhancement Grant (LARE) awarded to the Posey County Drainage Board. The LARE program is overseen by the
Indiana Department of Natural Resources and its funding is derived from boat fees. The project is being contracted through Wetland Services, located in Henderson, Ky. The main objective of the grant is to provide designs and environmental permitting information for at least three project in the Big Creek bottoms. The focus area of the grant was predetermined by the Big Creek Watershed Steering Commit-
tee and includes the channel and floodplain of Big Creek from around the Oliver Road bridge to State Road 69 bridge. A topographic survey is being conducted to support a hydraulic analysis and engineering designs. Feasibility of the designs will be determined based on the cost of the projects and the results of a flood study. For more informatio, contact Blair Borries at (812)746-9543

OPINION
Fascination with gadgets leads to unparalleled reporter’s world My fascination with technology began 38 years ago when my incoming freshman class first graced the halls of the newly constructed and consolidated Hart County High School in Munfordville, Ky. We were treated to the first use of the new electric type- FOR THE writers in Mrs. Margaret Nell RECORD Crabtree’s Typing I class. Upperclassmen grumbled BY PAM about how we freshman ROBINSON took for granted the light keystrokes and automatic return key. They had learned to pound out their documents and to live with the interruption in speed when they had to lift their right hand and hit the manual return arm. When I entered Kentucky Wesleyan College in the fall of 1976, I quickly upgraded my skills. In high school, I had learned to turn out duplicate copies by inserting sticky carbon paper between sheets of white bond. Now, I produced multiple copies by tackling
ditto paper. A sheet of glossy paper was backed with a sheet of thicker paper almost dripping with a layer of midnight blue ink. When the typewriter keys hit the glossy paper, it picked up the inky impression of letters. Corrections were made by separating the sheets and scratching off the errant letter or symbol with the corner of a razor blade. A ditto was good for about 150 copies generated by placing it on a round drum that rolled through a fluid akin to rubbing alcohol commonly referred to as – what else? – ditto fluid. It stank to high heaven, but just a little removed the telltale blue stains that inevitably covered the ditto typist’s hands. Needless to say, ditto fluid would also take the color out of clothing if any sloshed out when added to the ditto machine.
Fortunately, the advent of relatively inexpensive photocopies replaced the ditto machine by the time I entered graduate school at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey, the fall of 1980. I still used an electric typewriter, but a clean original now sufficed. I became a professional in painting on white out to cover errors. As in undergraduate school, I still needed to take a magic marker and draw one-inch margins on a piece of typing paper to place behind the white paper on which I typed my term papers. Keeping the margins straight proved a challenge for English majors. The Modern Language Association, or MLA, Stylebook dictated that footnotes belonged one inch from the bottom of the page on which they appeared and four lines below the text itself. It took several tries sometimes to get the format just right. When I hit the workplace in 1986, the personal computer ruled. My training came on the job. Now I could compose, copy, cut
and paste all with one machine. Gone forever were carbon paper, razor blades, white out and margin guides. In addition, software programs allowed the easy setup of data spreadsheets as well as professional presentations using graphics and sophisticated design. I thought I had arrived until last Christmas I received a Kindle, so I don’t even need to turn the pages of a book anymore. Just recently, my boss gave me a Smartpen that will store a picture of my handwritten notes while it audio records all the proceedings at meetings and interviews. It will, in fact, do almost everything except go to the meetings and interviews for me. Unless I learn to outsmart it, the Smartpen may one day write on its own the Smart Paper for my boss. It may even transfer the files directly to a Kindle for smudge proof reading. It certainly raises doubt that newspaper ink will always run through a reporter’s blood.
State Representative Wendy McNamra... Investing today, empowering tomorrow Two exciting announcements were made this week, which will enhance a student’s education at the launch of their educational career and as they conclude their academic journey. Early Friday morning, in a rare joint announcement by Governor Daniels, Speaker Bosma and Senate Pro Tem Long, they announced their support for $150 million investment in K-12 education emphasizing early learning opportunities for Hoosier students. Updated revenue forecasts have cited that state revenues will be higher than predicted. Of the increased revenues, a portion will go to our state’s reserves and the rest is to be invested in education. Education will be the only area in the budget to have an increase in funding. Of the 150 million, a quarter will be used
to extend full day kindergarten to all schools across Indiana and a smaller fund will go towards a “teacher excellence” fund which will reward teachers through pay based on performance. Funding education has been House Republicans’ top priority. The recession forced a tightening of the belt and required some plans to be put on hold, but through fiscal integrity, we can now provide our students with this early learning opportunity. The benefits of all day kindergarten are vast and immense. The more time our students have with great teachers, the better off they will be. Research shows students are better prepared for success in elementary school and are less likely to drop out of school before graduation if they were enrolled in full-day kindergarten.
Full-day kindergarten can ensure a student is on track for long-term academic success, especially among low-income and minority students. This is one more step in fulfilling our quest of providing all Indiana youth with a high quality education. Full day kindergarten is an investment in the future of Indiana and will allow us to be more competitive as a state for generations to come. Recently both the M.S.D of Mount Vernon and North Posey announced the addition of full day kindergarten. Full day kindergarten will make a big difference for the children in our community and will put our children on the path to academic success. With this announcement, no child will have to go without this excellent learning opportunity. Another big announcement made last week was the approval for the construction of a new teacher’s theatre on the University of Southern Indiana’s (USI) campus. On Friday, it was announced that USI will receive $16.5 million to construct the new building. The House Budget Committee approved this project, which will replace the existing
theatre, costume shop and scene shop at USI. The proposed theatre will be approximately 21,929 square feet, will seat approximately 350 people and will be constructed adjacent to the University Center. The development of the new teaching theatre will continue to make USI a competitive school and will further facilitate the development of the arts in our community. I am pleased that the Ways and Means Committee decided to support this project which will make USI more desirable to prospective students and allow the school to increase the academic caliber of their programs. A solid education is best thing we can equip a child with to serve them throughout their life. An education is an invaluable tool and changes lives. I am pleased to live in a state that understands the importance of this. Our economy will reap the benefits of investing in education. Throughout my tenure as a representative, I will continue to advocate on the behalf education and applaud Governor Daniels, Speaker Bosma and Senate Pro Tem Long for fiscal integrity and investing in education.

Gavel Gamut’s “Check Mate” Twenty-seven years ago, Mike Kuhn, the government teacher at North Posey High School, Rick Johnson from New Harmony High and Charley Martin who was then at Mt. Vernon coached their students in the first Posey County Mock Trial. Mike and Rick are still vigorously involved but Charley has passed the baton to Ann Shank and Steve Britt. Each of the twentysix previous mock trials has been educationally rewarding and a lot of fun. Thanks is due to the teachers and students of Posey County’s three high schools as well as to the Posey County Bar Association that sponsors these Law Day events. This year Indiana Supreme Court Justice Frank Sullivan will be the key note speaker before the students conduct their exercise. Justice Sullivan has provided the leadership that has helped Indiana’s judicial system set the standard for public access and accountability. Then the students will provide each of the roles necessary for a jury trial. The judge, jury, jury foreperson, bailiff and clerk will come from New Harmony.

ing new programs introduced during the 2011-2012 school year. Full day kindergarten will be provided, which will greatly benefit our youngest students academically, socially and developmentally. We are adopting an online textbook program through Discovery Education, the same company that brings you the Discovery Channel and the Learning Channel. This program is full of technological wonders for teaching students in the 21st century. Marrs will also be working with USI as a STEM Academy (science, technology, engineering and math). The STEM Academy is a comprehensive program that features a blended learning approach and strong instructor training. The high standards set at Marrs continue through the Mount Vernon Junior High
and High School. Advanced academic programs incorporate college course work, allowing students to earn college credits in high school. This can give students an enormous advantage when applying to and entering college. Similarly, students can earn high school credits in junior high. The schools also excel in competitive sports, band, performing arts and numerous other programs. It takes years to develop the reputation and excellent programs that Marrs Elementary and the MSD of Mount Vernon are so proud of. Tuition is free for all Indiana residents, so please come and give us a visit and experience for yourselves why we think Marrs is an excellent choice in education. Respectfully, Marrs Elementary PTO Board Members

Ferndale House and Education Center building on past, looking to future
Janice Breiner Peterson By Pam Robinson Born in Black Township and raised in Robb Township Janice Breiner Peterson is deeply rooted in Posey County and now New Harmony history. She dreams of that legacy blossoming at Ferndale House and Education Center, a property adjoining the Harmonist Labyrinth. Over the past four years, Peterson has provided a number
of tours and workshops at Ferndale House for youth as well as adults. Most of the events feature horticulturists and naturalists who inspire participants with their love of nature, especially flowers and trees, which grow in abundance at Ferndale House. In fact, the largest American Persimmon tree in Indiana stands there. The Petersons are also starting an arboretum near Mount Vernon, Ind. During last week’s Heritage Days in New Harmony, upwards of 1,300 schoolchildren from all over the Tri-State visited the adjoining Harmonist Labyrinth. A few students joined Janice at a Ferndale garden for a planting experience but every student took home a complimentary starter seed pot made from an empty toilet tissue roll. During the week many volunteer hands had attached seeds of cleome (spider flower of pink or white) inside the paper rolls. Instruction sheets tucked inside each roll will encourage the children to complete the project either in the classroom or at home. Friends from all over Indiana had saved these rolls in order to make this project a reality. Young people could see the benefits of thrifty hands. Thus, the project completes a circle of participation and information. Additional programs scheduled for 2011 include “Lighthouse Parade” on June 21; “Dried Treasures” from cones and pods on June 22; “With a Reason and a Purpose” on July 2; “They Grow Where They are Planted,” Oct. 7 and 8; “TREE Party,” Nov. 5; “Nativity Scenes with a Story,” Dec. 2 and 3. Ferndale House has a unique identity. The front part of the home was first owned by social reformer Robert Dale Owen. There, Peterson keeps antiques and photos of her ancestors. One black and white photograph from 1927 features the entire population of Point Township, including her mother Fern, for whom Ferndale House is named. Also her McKinney grandparents, three aunts and one cousin, are shown in this photograph. She is grateful to Stephen Noon for the donation. Ferndale House’s fourth owners, Dr. David L. Rice, retired
Mount Vernon High School Junior-Senior prom
president of the University of Southern Indiana, and his wife Betty added to the historic Owen house in order to attach the old schoolhouse in which Rice’s sister taught in Putnam County , Ind. The theme of education seems to be a continued pursuit within the many types of wood. In many ways, Ferndale House is Peterson’s own social experiment. Since she resides in Bloomington with her husband Jim, a retired professor at Indiana University, she relies on a group of loyal Tri-State community volunteers to keep watch over the house . She wants Ferndale House to be place for everyone to learn about ‘how things grow’ with an emphasis on children. It takes many volunteer hands to create an atmosphere for out -of- classroom learning experiences. Slowly, by taking tiny steps forward, Mother Nature’s classroom is unfolding. In keeping with her vision to make Ferndale House a welcoming place for all people, Peterson is searching for an individual or a group to plant, raise and harvest a vegetable garden in a 60 by 20 foot plot in the backyard. She will get the ground tilled and prepared and even purchase the seeds and plants for the first year’s crops as long as the group makes a two year commitment. In exchange, the gardeners will sell their produce at the New Harmony Farmers’ Market or the place of their choice this summer and use the profit to benefit their worthy cause —and to buy the seeds and plants to continue the garden in subsequent years. Peterson envisions the garden as a fundraiser for a local Boy Scout troop, 4-H club or a church group of adults and youth. To seal the deal, she will require the organization to provide a business plan that details financing and marketing strategies for success. Janice Peterson may be contacted by phone at 812-3610412 or by email at japete@indiana.edu. She is hoping someone will take her up on the gardening offer and “keep a little piece of Ferndale” in their hearts.

Schmitt breaks career record in big PAC win at Ferdinand By Dave Pearce The North Posey Lady Viking softball team may stand at 4-4 after a win over Forest Park on Saturday. But the win put the Vikings right back into the Pocket Athletic Conference race and Coach Gary Gentil is proud of his team, especially senior pitcher Shelley Schmitt. Schmitt set a new school record for career strikeouts at Forest Park on Saturday. “We had a real good game Saturday up at Forest Park,” Gentil said, following his team’s 6-5 win over the homestanding Rangers. “We were playing up there and they have been playing pretty well. They have a really good hitting team and they have a good, sound program.” When Kendyl Ahrens knocked in Morgan Stierley for the Vikings first run of the contest, Gentil knew the fight was back in his Lady Vikings. The Vikings had three hits in the first inning alone. Megan Redman’s RBI scored Jourdan Wassmer to give the Vikings an early 2-0 lead over the hardhitting Rangers. It was early that Gentil realized the bats were hot again on the North Posey side. “We lost a game earlier in the week 2-1 to a South Knox team whose speed gave us all kinds of trouble,” Gentil said of the split of the two games last week. “They had a pitcher who kept the ball low and away and we had trouble hitting her.” But the Lady Rangers aren’t ones to go away without a fight and the two teams battled through the first four innings, especially. Lisa Garris got a single in the third and Deana Lindauer laid down a good bunt to help move the runner all the way to third. Lindauer beat out the bunt and when Amy Brandenstein doubled, the Vikings were back on top as both baserunners
scored. Kelsey Everly followed in Brandenstein’s footsteps with another big hit to score another run for the Vikings. But as the Vikings have found out early in this hectic season, no lead is a safe lead when you are playing a tough schedule such as the Vikings have faced early on. In the fourth with a runner already on via a hit, the Rangers answered with a vengeance as the first basemen unloaded on a good pitch and sent it over the fence as a strong wind probably aided the hit and the Rangers were right back in the game. The Rangers scored another run in the bottom of the sixth inning to pull the score even at five apiece before the Vikings came to bat in the top of the seventh. Lindauer led off with a double and Wassmer followed that with a double to score what would prove to be the winning run in Ferdinand. Schmitt was able to put the hammer down in the bottom of the seventh and preserve the win and set herself atop the North Posey career strikeout board. Schmitt stands with 413 strikeouts, defeating the record of 411 with most of this season remaining. But more importantly for this year’s team, the girls were able to move to 3-1 in conference play and hold on to a chance for at least a share of the conference title. Gibson Southern stands atop the leaderboard early with a 3-0 record but there are still some big games to be played in the conference yet this season. The Vikings were scheduled to play each night this week, hosting potential sectional foe Mater Dei on Monday evening. Games are scheduled for several nights this week and the make-up date for the Mount Vernon game has been set for this Saturday.
By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon boys’ track team had the “will” to win Tuesday. And he did. Four times, in fact. Will Terbeck captured four blue ribbons Tuesday as the Wildcat boys clawed visiting Princeton 91-41 for a split of their dual meets with the Tigers. The Lady Cats weren’t as fortunate, falling 72-60 in their meet. And if that wasn’t enough, the senior sprinter came back Thursday night and broke Josh VanZant’s record in the 200meter dash as Mount Vernon rolled over visiting Mater Dei 85-47. It was another mixture of promise, satisfaction and frustration for the Mount Vernon girls, as they fell to Mater Dei 74-57. Terbreck won another four blues against Mater Dei, including both sprints and a long jump he clinched on the first try before being pulled to avoid injury. Wildcat boys’ coach Steve Brenton was pleased with the way Terbeck--and the entire team—ran, especially after an emotional win over Princeton. “When you run hard, against Princeton and have an emotional win against Princeton,” the coach said. “Then we were able to come back tonight and put up 85, that was a good win for us.” Terbeck’s :22.73 in the 200 was five-hundredths of a second better than VanZant’s old mark, set in 2007 and he might not be done yet, Brenton said. “He keeps getting better,” the coach said. “I really think
that he could be in the: 22.5s by the end of the year. That could be as fast as anyone’s has run in Southern Indiana.” The senior is a lot stronger physically and mentally this year, Brenton said, adding that Terbeck is working very hard in practice and track is the kind of sport that rewards that kind of work. Brenton expected a much closer meet, especially after the Cats were 120-99 winners over the Tigers at the recent Harold Gourley track meet in Gibson County. “We ran real well,” Brenton said. “It was a beautiful night for running. This 91-41 score is misleading. We’re not that much better than Princeton. We had a good meet though and I was proud of the kids. They responded well.” The Tigers were missing a number of high point producers due to injury and college recruiting trips, which may have also enabled the Cats to score better than usual, Brenton added. The missing jumper averaged over 21 feet in the long jump, one of the events Turbeck won with a 20-foot, oneinch leap. He also took the 100-meter dash with a time of :11.25 and the 200 in :23.14. In between those two sprints, Terbeck teamed up with Tim Davis, Logan Pace and Dylan Reubenacker to take the 400-meter relay (:49.31). Terbeck wasn’t the only Wildcat boy with the er, “will” and w way, to win, however. For Ken Renshaw, it was just another day at the office, as the senior distance runner took the 1,600-meters (4:41) and
Terback proves where there is ‘Will’, there is way

Nichole Perry to take basketball, academic dreams to Charleston By Steve Joos Nichole Perry is headed for the next level and the North Posey girls’ basketball standout is also hoping to make a contribution right away. In her final game as a high schooler, Perry played in the Clash on the Wabash last week. Under Coach Tracy Stroud she was the high point scorer with 15 points…six field goals and was 3-for-3 at the free-throw line. She was also one of the 31 girls named to the Academic All-State squad, along with Mount Vernon’s Carynn Koch. And to make it official, Perry signed a national letter of intent last week to attend the University of Charleston in West Virginia and play for the Lady Eagles. “I went to have an official visit to the school,” Perry explained. “I went and met their coaches and one of their practices and I really enjoyed how hard the players worked, how c competitive they are and how the coaches care about the team and how dedicated and intense they were.” Charleston was 24-8 this season, whining the West Virginia Athletic Conference championship and reaching the second round of the NCAA Division II Atlantic Regional under coach Sherry Winn, but they have a big task ahead of them in replacing six seniors who provided the bulk of the team’s scoring. Perry is hoping that the rebuilding process will mean some playing time for her and the chance to be a good player right off the bat. One of the things she’s going to have to do in order to earn that chance is work on her ball-handling over the summer and movement. She also needs to get better shots and get them to fall. Not that they didn’t do that poorly this
season or over the course of her career. Perry averaged 18.9 points a game this season (377 total) while knocking down 40 percent of her shots (117 of 295), 27 of 83 from three-point range and 130 of 150 free throws (87 percent). She led the Lady Vikings in just about every offensive category and was the leading vote-getter for the All-Pocket Athletic Conference girls’ basketball team. Perry also grabbed 60 rebounds, blocked three shots, pulled off 59 steals and had 74 assists. For her career, Perry scored 998 points (11.9 per game), cleared 197 boards, pilfered the ball 176 times and dished out 274 assists. “I had some great experiences here at North Posey,” Perry said. “I had some great teammates who were always there for me and helped me learn a lot and I had great coaches who were able to teach me a lot and were always there to support me no matter what happened.” One of those coaches feels that Perry will do well in West Virginia. “I think it’s a great opportunity for her,” Lady Vikings coach Tracy Stroud said. “I didn’t really know a lot bout the school, but after going online and talking with (Perry) and seeing how impressed she was with the coaching staff, she just clicked with the coaching staff and academically, they’re a great fit for her and they take basketball seriously. It’s a perfect mix.” Perry also wanted to get away from the area for college, but Charleston is relatively close at 5-6 hours away, Stroud added. The WVAC is a 12-team league based mostly in West Virginia and Winn is considered one of the best coaches in the confer-

Offensive production, wins become critical for slumping Vikings By Dave Pearce When you score only two runs in three baseball games in a week’s time, chances are not good that you are going to win many of them. The North Posey Vikings found that out the hard way this week as they fell to Pocket Athletic Conference foe Heritage Hills 2-0 early in the week and was unable to score as Vincennes in a 3-0 loss before generating a pair of runs against Evansville North on Thursday night. But those two runs were too little as the Huskies helped complete a miserable week for the Vikings with the 4-2 win. The Vikings have been unable to get the big or timely hits in the past few games despite what Coach Scott Reid calls “solid defense and good pitching.” But the Vikings have also shot themselves in the foot with some untimely errors over the past week. Against Heritage Hills, the Vikings had given up just one run going into the seventh inning when an error doubled the needed production to give the Vikings a chance to get back into the game. “At the end of the day, what it comes down to is that we are just not hitting,” Reid said of his Vikings. “We are pitching and defending at a high level.” This week’s trio of losses has dropped the Vikings to 3-5 in the early going but despite the overall record, the Vikings still stand 2-1 in the Pocket Athletic Conference. But in eight games so far, the Vikings have been shut out three times. “We really haven’t given up a lot of runs,” Reid said. “Even in the Vincennes game, they made more errors than we did. They scored on two throwing errors after they had the bases loaded and two out when it looked like we were going to get out of the inning. Then we gave up wild pitch, wild pitch, and passed ball for their three runs.”
But Reid said despite the errors, his team was not without opportunities throughout the contest. “We just don’t seem to be able to get a hit with two outs and a runner in scoring position,” Reid said. “You have to be able to get that two-out hit at least once in awhile. We are just struggling there right now.” But Reid certainly has not given up on the young Vikings and despite the 3-5 record, he knows there is still a lot of baseball to be played this season and he is proud of the team as they come to practice and continue to work on the things that will help them get back into the winning column. “We have been working on the offensive side of the game,” Reid said. “But when it comes right down to it, I don’t think our plate discipline has been very good. We are swinging at pitches out of the strike zone. We seem to be taking a couple of good pitches early in the count and then we get behind. Then, when the pitcher has us on the defense, we’re expanding the zone. We get down 1-2 or 0-2 because we have let good pitches go. Then all the sudden, we are letting them get us out with pitches that are out of the strike zone.” Contagious is not a word people often like to hear but Reid said he and his team know that hitting is contagious and he is looking for someone to get it started for the Vikings. “I just feel like it is a matter of time. This is such a good group and we have kids who know how to play the game and kids who play hard and we defend and pitch pretty well,” Reid explained. “We don’t have anybody in the pitching rotation that is going to just blow your socks off but we do have, top to bottom, a number of guys who can get people out at this level. We’re not going to strike out a bunch of guys but we can throw the ground ball and we can defend. If we can just figure out how to hit, especially with runners in scoring positions, we will be tough to beat. We just haven’t done that
so far.” Reid says his team is still in a pretty good spot with Tell City, Gibson Southern, Tecumseh, and Forest Park still looming down the road. “Tell City is in the top ten in our class and we play them on Saturday,” Reid said. “They are a tough squad. Then we have Gibson Southern on the following Saturday. The Heritage Hills game hurt us because we were right there but we left runners on base in key situations. If we can just get that hit and put the pressure on the other team, things can snowball in a hurry.” The Vikings will be in action every day except Wednesday this week.

Wildcat track, from Page 1B and the 3,200 (10:30), going 1-2 with Sean Ritzert, who posted a personal best time of 10:42. “Will Terbreck won four blues,” Brenton said. “So, that’s huge. John Hoehn had three blues tonight (the 400-meters, along with a leg each of the 1,600- and 3,200relays), so that was big. D.A. Wilson won three blues (in the distance relays and the 800), Ruby (Reubenacker) won the high jump and pole vault, so we did a lot of good things on the track tonight.” Hoehn, Ritzert and Aaron Straub are among several first-year Wildcat athletes and they were a bit overwhelmed by the big meet atmosphere of the eight-team Gourley Invitational, Brenton said, adding that Tuesday’s dual meet surroundings were a little more relaxed and that may have helped them. The boys’ swept the relay and everything else, but the hurdles, In the throws, Teddy O’Connell took the discus with a personal best throw of 135 feet, three inches, while Zach Albin rounded out the blue ribbon parade by toss-
ing the shot put 39 feet, 10 inches. As for the girls, coach Jackie Maier was disappointed with the outcome, but not in her team. She saw some positives and got an idea about what to do when the conference meet rolls around. “We had a lot of personal bests,” Maier said. “That’s very important this time of year. I’m disappointed that we lost by a small margin, but Princeton has a good team and we’ll work some strategy and we’ll strategize and we’ll be ready to go for conference.” There were a number of strong performances, led by Kate Cox, who anchored the first-place 400-meter relay team and won the 200-meters, and Erica McCormick, who registered a personal best time of 2:29 in winning the 800. McCormick also ran a leg on the blue ribbon winning distance relay teams Then there were hurdlers Sammy Alsop and Taylor Colvin, who ran in those events for the first time because hurdlers were needed.
“I told Sammy ‘you’re hired,’” Maier said. “She looked great. Taylor Colvin has beautiful form in the hurdles. She will continue in that spot.” Like the boys, Maier thinks that the girls are making progress, but they still have a ways to go. Terbeck wasn’t the only star against Mater Dei. Along with his record in the 200 and a 20-foot, fourinch long jump (three inches better than his leap against Princeton), Mount Vernon got great contributions from Straub (a six-two high jump), Reubenacker (a :16.05 in the 110-hurdles) and O’Connell (whose 143-5 discus throw was seven feet better than the personal best he registered against Princeton). Hoehn (:53.00) and Davis (:41.80) registered personal bests in the 400-dash and 300-hurdles respectively. Oh, and did we mention that Terbeck won the 100 (:11.40) and ran a leg on the 400-relay team? Or that Mount Vernon swept the boys’ relays? McCormick and Jenny Koch were double winners Thursday, but once again the Lady Cats came up lacking in some other areas cost them the meet, according to Maier. “We had quite a few personal bests,” the girls’ coach said. “Which is always what I ask, just to better there performance, to improve a little each time they compete. We’re lacking in several areas and we’re playing with the lineup a bit.” Mount Vernon found another hurdler, as Foster finished second in her 300-low hurdle debut, running: 50.3 without getting in a lot of practice. But what about some of the other areas where the girls need to work on? They still need to work on plugging the holes, according to the coach. “We’ve just got some other holes that are just killing us,” she said. “We’re going

Matthews also had three blows (one of them a double), while Kendall Morris had two hits. The Lady Rappites only had eight hits against Webber, which partially negated a strong pitching performance by Matthews. The Lady Rappites split their first two games, losing at Mount Vernon 14-0 in five innings under the 10-run rule after edging Norris CityOmaha-Enfield 7-6 at home. The Lady Rappites shook off the first-game hitters and made a seven-run second inning stand up as they edged visiting Norris City-OmahaEnfield 7-6. Owen and Williams combined to hold off the Lady Cardinals, while Madison Worman threw out a runner trying to take second on a walk for the last out in the top of th seventh, ending the game with the tying run on third base. “I didn’t know whether to pull Kelsey Owen or not,” Moore said. ”But she said her hand was tightening up and I just told Hannah Williams to go in and do the best she could. I gave both of my pitchers the game ball. That probably the first openinggame win for New Harmony since at least 2004.” The Lady Rappites struck for seven runs in the bottom of the second as Owen smacked an inside the park home run, but struggled after that against slower NCOE pitching. “We just couldn’t wait on the pitching,” Moore explained. “It was slower than what we’d been facing in the gym. We’ve been going 56 per hour in the gym and this was like a Rural Girls’ game we couldn’t wait, we couldn’t find it.” They also made the coach nervous, at least until Owen and Williams came through on the mound.

Smith makes All-AHAC team
Former Mount Vernon boys’ baseball standout Jake Smith has been named to the All-Heart of America Conference men’s basketball team. A senior swingman on the Graceland University Yellowjackets, Smith averaged 18 points and eight rebounds a game for the Lamoni, Iowa, school this season. He pumped in a career-high 47 tallies in the Jackets’ HAAC tournament game at William Jewell, won by the Cardinals 113-110 in double overtime. Smith was sixth in the overall balloting for the all-conference squad and is one of two Yellowjackets on this year’s team, even though Graceland came in with a 9-11 conference mark. He is joined junior Brad Bruges on the squad. Smith is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Brian Smith of Mount Vernon.

They’re just trying to get adjusted to playing tennis at the high school level.� North Posey also claimed the reserve meet against Mount Vernon. Barrett was pleased with the Lady Vikings’ efforts against their county rivals, which sent North Posey into the Gibson Southern invitational with a 2-0 dual meet record. Three Lady Vikings finished third in three spots at Gibson Southern, which was appropriate since North Posey came in third at Saturday’s invitational meet, scoring 12 points, Durcholz finished second at second singles, losing to Sami Hopf of Forest Park 6-2, 6-0 after beating Wood Memorial’s Sara Youngblood 6-2, 6-3 in the first round. Everywhere else, the Lady Vikings either had to bounce back after being bounced by the host Lady Titans, or in the case of Esche and Perry at second doubles, couldn’t get around them. The North Posey duo lost to Angermeier and Chamberlain 6-4, 3-6, 10-8 for the second double crown after earlier beating Amie Weyer and Rachel Hentrup of Forest Park 6-2, 6-2. Thomas, Ackerman and the first doubles duo each lost their first matches to Gibson Southern players and then each claimed third by beating competition from Wood Memorial. Thomas beat Sonja Cox of the Lady Trojans 6-2, 6-2 for third place after losing to Titzer 6-0, 6-0 at first singles. The pattern held at third singles, with Ackerman dropping a 6-3, 6-0 decision to Lewis and then beating Wood’s Cydney Eaton 6-2, 6-1. At first doubles, Simpson and Reidford claimed a 6-0, 6-0 win over Samantha Herinimus and Shelby McGregor (of Wood Memorial, of course) in the consolation match after a loss to Gibson Southern’s Senesemeier and Kissel 7-5, 6-4 in the first match of the day. The Lady Titans won their invite with 22 points, while Forest Park was second with 16. The Lady Trojans rounded out the field with five points. North Posey started things Tuesday with a 5-0 victory over visiting South Spencer. Thomas snapped back from a first-set loss to beat Nicole Rogier 6-7(3-6), 6-0, 10-3 at first singles, while Durcholz beat Kayla Durval 6-4, 6-0 at second singles and Lindsay Droege beat Lauren Martin 6-4, 6-0 at third singles. The pickings were easier at doubles, as Simpson and Reidford were 6-1, 6-1 winners over Shayla Ball and
Princeton has too much speed for Vikings By Steve Joos The coaches were pleased with some of the times, but the competition was just too much for the North Posey tack teams in their season openers Thursday in Princeton. Hunter Motz did his thing (sweep the distance races), but there was just too much on the other side as the Tigers rolled to a 9531 victory in the boys meet, while Meagan Bender and Olivia Goebel accounted for most of the North Posey girls’ points in a 9535 Princeton win. Boys’ coach Kevin Gengelbach knew what his team was up against, but he also felt that there some positives for the Vikings. “Princeton is strong as always, but we were happy with some of our times,� Gengelbach said. “We have a lot of work to do in a lot of areas. However, the kids are working hard we look to improve each and every day.� Motz was a bright spot for the boys, of course. The Vincennes University-bound distance runner took the 1,600-meters in 5:01 and then captured the 3,200-meters in 10:47. Kurt Seibert threw the discus 114 feet, five inches for the other Viking blue ribbon. Gengelbach was also pleasantly surprised with the efforts of Nick Crumbacher and Butch Dessauer in the meet. Bender and Goebel were double winners in the girls’ meet and those were the just about the only blue ribbon performances for the Lady Vikings in the girls’ meet. Bender won the 100-meters (:13.54) and
the 400 (1:01.97), while Geobel took the 1,600 (5:56.97) and the 3,200 (13:11.87) Bender was also part of the first-place 1,600relay squad, joining Tylie Robertson, Emma Werry and McKenzie Orlik to register a time of 4:33.55 in the mile relay. Orlik and Werry also scored points for the Lady Vikings in other events, as Orlik took second in the 100- and 200-meters, while Werry finished third in the 100-hurdlers and the long jump to go with a runner-up spot in the 300-hurdles.

Vikings gain split with win over Central By Steve Joos Home, sweet home. That’s the way it is in high school golf, right? Well, it wasn’t exactly that way for the North Posey boys’ golf team last week. The Vikings split a pair of meets at Cambridge Golf Club last week, beating Central Thursday 172-179 after losing to Heritage Hills Tuesday 173-183. Dylan Krohn led the way for the Vikings in both meets, carding a 38 against the Bears after shooting a 38 against the Patriots. He edged Central’s Dylan Meyer (39) for medalist honors Thursday.
Alex Wade fired a 42 and was two strokes ahead of the number-two Bear. Clint Cox and Ty Butler shot a 45 and 47 respectively, to close out the North Posey foursome, with both scores lower than Central’s 3-4 golfers. Krohn and Wade each carded 38s against Heritage Hills, but the Patriots had the medalist (Cody VanWinkle with a 37) and four other golfers who were under 40. North Posey’s number three golfer? Cox, with a 53, four strokes behind the two golfers who shared Heritage Hills’ fourth score (Preston VanWinkle and Luke Zarmnoth). Butler’s rounded out the Viking foursome.

By Steve Joos But the team still has a ways to go. Motz took both distance races Thursday night, but it wasn’t enough as the Vikings had to settle for third in a quadrangular meet at Gibson Southern, scoring 50 and one-half points. The Titan boys won the meet with 91 and one-half points, while Central took second with 70. Wood Memorial was a very distant fourth with nine tallies. Both teams were more successful in Illinois Wednesday, as both North Posey teams won triangular meets with Carmi and Tecumseh. Motz has won six distance races so far this season and last week was no exception. The senior ran the 1,600-meters in 4:42.21, and then came back with a time of 10:48.72 to capture the 3,200. The Vincennes University signee accounted for half of North Posey’s blue ribbon take at Gibson Southern. Nick Crumbacher leapt 19 and three-quarters feet to win the long jump, while Butch Dessauer took home the other blue ribbon in the 110-meter high hurdles (:16.78). In the girls’ meet, Olivia Goebel was a double winner, while Emma Werry won one event and ran on a first-place relay team as North Posey finished second behind he Lady Titans (100) with 59 points. Central (43) and Wood Memorial (21) came in 3-4. Goebel ran the mile in 5:54.40 and the 3,200 in 12:57.50, while Werry took the 300-low hurdles (:53.35) and teamed up with Kylie Robertson, McKenzie Orlik and Meagan Bender to take the 1,600-relay (4:35.30). Motz swept the distance races and the Vikings went 1-2 in
a pair of events as they won their triangular meet with Carmi and Tecumseh Tuesday, scoring 67 points (compared to 56 for the Bulldogs and 32 for the Braves). “We had a really good night,” boys’ coach Kevin Gengelbach said. “The boys are getting better and better each and every night.” Motz had the biggest night, winning the 1,600-meters in 4:49.64, and then taking the 3,200-meters in 10:27.09. The Vikings got blue ribbon performances from a number of other spots as well, with Mitchell Kuhn (:55.62) and Nick Neidig (:56.44) were 1-2 in the 400-dash, while Kurt Seibert (111 feet, six inches) and Tim East (111-3) took the top two spots in the discus. The Vikings racked up a number of points in the field events. In addition to Seibert and East, Crumbacher won the ling jump (18-9), while Austin Little, East and Seibert went 2-3-4 in the shot put. Butch Dessauer won the 110-hurldles in 16:44 for North Posey’s other blue ribbon. Gengelbach was also pleased with the number of personal bests turned in by the team, including Goebel in the high jump, as well as Luke Morrow and Joe Boettcher anchoring the sprints. The girls were even more dominant, winning their triangular with 73 points, well ahead of Tecumseh (44) and Carmi (29). Werry and Goebel were double winners, with Werry taking both hurdle races and Goebel sweeping the distance events. Caitlin Herrmann won the high jump and Bender won the 400-meters, while teaming with Werry, Robertson and Orlik to capture the 1,600-relay.
Wildcats manage win in only game Mother Nature allows he went back to the bullpen and worked on a better body position during his delivery. It seemed to work, according to the coach. Hames was throwing strikes and when that happens, the other team doesn’t get on base that often. The Wildcats face a pitcher was more control trouble and they took advantage of that situation. Aaron Roberts started the winning rally with a oneout single in the bottom of the sixth inning. River Van Zant followed with a single and Jevin Redman walked to
load the bases. Drake McNamara singled to center field, scoring the go-ahead runs. The two teams went back and forth in he early gong, with the Panthers drawing first blood in the top of the first, only have the Cats square things up in the bottom of the third. A double by Harris, a ground out and a wild pitch put the Cats in front 2-1 in the bottom of the fourth, but Reitz tied things up in the top of the fifth. “It was a nice ball game,” Quinzer said. “I’m sure the fans enjoyed watching the game, I enjoyed coaching
the game. It was a fun game to watch because both teams were playing hard.” Beating a city school also made it worthwhile, the coach added, complimenting Reitz on its success over the years. Last week’s home game against Tecumseh was rained out and will be made up Friday, April 29. The weather also claimed Friday’s home game with Gibson Southern. That contest is now set for Thursday, Aopril 21. The Cats and North Posey Vikings, also a victim of Saturday’s rain, are now

two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning Wednesday night as they pulled out a 4-2 win over visiting Reitz in a seesaw contest. “We had good pitching, good defense,” coach Paul Quinzer said. “What did we have? One error, maybe two (the Cats had two)? We stayed in the ball game and get those two runs in the sixth and we win a nice ball game for Caleb (Hames), which he kind of needed.” Hames had struggled in his first two outings, but he threw a lot of strikes on Wednesday night. After those struggles,

The Golden Rule is Priority One for Haroldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wilson Patti Wilson, owner of Haroldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant in Poseyville, learned caring and sharing at an early age as one of 12 children born to Elvira and Kenneth Meny, himself one of 12 children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They instilled in us that when Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been good to you, you give back,â&#x20AC;? Wilson says, as her eyes fill with tears. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My parents sacrificed a lot for all 12 of us kids. I saw that. There were times they did without so we kids could have what we had. I also saw them always very active in the community. They were always doing for others. They would never say no to anyone in need.â&#x20AC;? Her dad at 90 and her mother at nearly 90 still volunteer one day a week at the Fort Branch food pantry. Wilson wants to follow their example and help her neighbors as long as she draws breath. She is well on her way. The American Cancer Society is the charity closest to her heart since she lost a 10-yearold nephew to leukemia. For five years, from 2004 to 2008, she served as chairperson for the North Posey Relay for Life. For 12 years up until 2009, she has stepped up as Relay for Life team captain. For the past two years, she has been a team member in three differ-
ent locationsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Mount Vernon, North Posey and Evansvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; until this year, she has finally pared it down to two, North Posey and Evansville. In addition, she serves as the advocacy chair for the Southwestern Indiana district of the Cancer Action Network to promote Relay for Life events and to work with legislature and local government on healthcare laws and wellness awareness. Just recently, she has joined the St. Vincent DePaul Society, a mission to the needy, at her St. Francis Xavier parish in Poseyville. For years, she has belonged to the St. Bernadette Auxiliary in her native Haubstadt and helped the organization with fundraisers for charity and with caring for orphans in this country and abroad. In 2009, the Poseyville Kiwanis honored her with their Distinguished Service Award for her many acts of kindness in the community. She thinks nothing of providing meals to shut-ins, for example, and the Sunday morning meal during Autumnfest. Five days a week, she offers the lunch to seniors at the Poseyville Community Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;ever since the federal government cut the funding for these meals. Her chickenn-dumplinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are famous at the annual North Posey football
homecoming tailgate party. Too numerous to mention are the donations she makes to the community any time a need arises. Wilson met her husband Gary, a Cynthiana native, at
Lameyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dance Hall when she was just two months shy of 16 and had sneaked out for the night. Four years later, he wore the same gold shirt and called on her during work at Lakeview Truck Stop. The
couple has been married now 36 years. The Wilsons have been blessed with two sons: Lonnie, a teacher at North High School in Evansville, and Brian, a 4th grade teacher at North Elemen-
tary in Poseyville. Lonnie and his wife Christie are the proud parents of a son, Will, now two years old. Brian and his wife Nikky are just as proud of their two children, son Tate (4) and daughter Taryn (2).
