Sports updated quickly on North Posey podcast

By Valerie Werkmeister Ever wonder how the North Posey High School girls’ tennis team did this week? Did you miss the boys’ baseball game and wish you knew about the game’s highlights? Catching the scores to the North Posey Viking spring sports’ games just got a little easier, thanks to one energetic teacher. High School history teacher, Brandon Barrett, has started creating sports podcasts to help sum up the week’s sports highlights at North Posey.

A podcast is an audio program that Barrett will record and upload to a website. Anyone interested in

hearing the podcast can then visit the following website: npvikingsports.podbean.com and download it for free. Itunes users will also be able to download it from itunes by looking up npvikingsports.

“I listen to a lot of podcasts myself. I was going to do this for a project for my history class, but then I thought of doing it for the sports. I’m just trying to get sports more out to the community by using the technology that’s out there for free,” Barrett explained.

It may be the first of its kind for local high school sports. Barrett stated he has not heard of any other

area high school that does their own podcasts. He plans to collect stats and information from the coaches for tennis, softball, baseball, golf and track and field. He will record a weekly podcast every Thursday that will be available by the weekend.

Barrett has received a lot of support from other coaches and principal, Dr. Scott Strieter.

“Everyone thought it was a great idea. If this takes off, I plan to continue it to fall sports,” Barrett said.

“It’s going to be a very amateur production with basic sports talk,” he added.

Flea Market set for April 21 St. Peter’s United Methodist Church, 2800 St. Phillips Road, will have their annual Flea Market, Rummage Sale and Bake Sale on Saturday, April 21, 2011 from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. in their Community Center. Lots of items and food will be also be available. If you would like booth information for this event, please call 812-985-5143.

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

Fighting cancer and having fun are two goals for NP Relay for Life

By Valerie Werkmeister It just might be the most fun way to fight cancer. The North Posey Relay for Life team is sponsoring a night of fun at their annual card party on April 12, at St. Francis Catholic Church Cafeteria in Poseyville. Soups and sandwiches will be served from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m. and the card party follows from 7 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. There will also be a live auction and the infamous egg rumble. There will be a $5 entry charge at the door.

Nominations are still needed for the Courage Award. It is an annual award given to a Posey County resident who has fought or is currently battling cancer. Submission letters should state the reason why this person should be chosen to receive the award. They can be sent to Teri James or Autumne Baker at the American Cancer Society, 6301 Old Boonville Highway, Suite B, Evansville, IN 47715.

Teams are still needed for this year’s relay event scheduled for June 9 – 10. Anyone interested in creating a team or finding out more information on what teams can do should call Judy Baehl at 568-3988 or Valerie Werkmeister at 499-4917.

Teams can be registered online at: www.relayforlife.org/northposeyin.

Also this evening is the third of four special Zumba classes sponsored by the Viking Wrestler team.

The class will run from 7 – 8 p.m. at South Terrace Elementary School.

Adults will pay $5 and students will be admitted for $3. T-shirts are also available for $10.

The Schmitt Family is sponsoring a fundraiser at Buffalo Wild Wings on the west side on April 23. Coupons for the event must be turned in along with your food purchase receipt. Coupons can be obtained by contacting Debra Schmitt at 8743482.

Dollar General in Poseyville will hold their next bake sales on April 7 and 21, from 9 a.m. – noon.

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

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

The goal is to line the track with as many quarters as possible to hopefully circle it.

The CSB team is selling hanging flower baskets for $20 to be ready in time for Mother’s Day. The fundraiser will end on Friday, April 27.

They have wavy petunias in purple, pink or red; million belles in yellow, purple, orange and red. Individual geraniums will also be available for $4 each in red, pink, coral and white. Order forms can be picked up at CSB in Poseyville.

The annual Relay for Life card party is slated for April 12, at St. Francis Cafeteria in Poseyville.

Mark your calendars now for this well-attended annual event.

OPINION

Ole Man River still casts his spell, even over a landlubber

I can’t swim, and I always forget how to dogpaddle. A cruise is out of the question for me, especially given the sea record of certain Italian vessels.

For some unfathomable reason, nonetheless, Ole Man River has cast a spell over me.

Unlike my husband Jim, I can’t claim squatter’s rights to even a small stretch of the Old Dam. Jim brings home catch of the day (catfish) frequently from the Wabash. In contrast, I’m lucky to snag a tree branch when I cast my line there.

Much as I threaten to move somewhere hot and dry in the Southwest, far away from earthquake, tornado and flood, well there’s always the Rio Grande. I just can’t get away from the river.

Just a couple of weekends ago, my family and I took off on our first getaway for the year—Pere Marquette State Park, Illinois’s largest state park,

situated in Grafton, at the confluence of the Mississippi and Illinois rivers.

LIVING FOR THE JOURNEY

BY PAM ROBINSON The price was right ($59.00 + tax), so I booked an overnight, my heroic attempt to briefly entertain Jessica stateside during spring break while some of her friends spent the week in Rome and Paris, Scotland and Ireland.

What Grafton lacks in cultural graces, it makes up for in conversation starters.

Grafton can boast, for example, that it competes for the title of motorcycle capital of Illinois, maybe even of the Midwest. The 12-mile stretch of Route 100 through Grafton lures bikers from a 100-mile radius every Sunday during warm weather.

On any given sunny Sun-

day, no less than 500 bikes are parked all around the Hawg Pit, a bikers’ bar serving up barbeque and beer.

We stopped counting after 3,000 how many bikers we passed on the highway or saw parked at shops and restaurants along the roadside.

Even bikers have a soft spot for a scenic byway located right on the river.

Likewise, we drove the circle around Pere Marquette State Park and stopped at a half dozen overlooks to snap pictures of the river nestled among rolling hills lined with redwood as well as pink and white dogwood in full bloom. Near or far, the river is inescapable.

Indeed, the 1993 flood markers indicate the water covered buildings on Main Street in Grafton. As close as the water is to Highway 100 (within a stone’s throw), boating to work, if not regularly, then periodically, must remain a reality for residents.

In spite of herself, Jes-

sica became interested in Grafton and the twists and turns of rivers and their residents. She asked questions about the flooding, as did her cousin Alexie Tomlinson who came with us. She wanted to see the eagle hatching on the eagle cam as much as we did and was disappointed to learn

lightning had struck the cam although officials reported the eagle egg was unharmed. (Likewise, she was let down when an overzealous maintenance worker poured too much chlorine into the indoor pool and thus brought swimming to a halt in the health interests of lodge patrons.)

I can’t wait to gage Jessica’s reaction when we stay on Kentucky Lake for a week later this summer. It may not be a river, but it’s close (in watery composition and in distance from our home). As in horse shoes, close counts with fresh water, especially for an old landlubber like me.

ly. You see, a bacterium, Pseudomonas syringae, contains a gene that has been discovered to actually help ice form at high temperatures. Since the hail storms we experienced took place during record breaking warmth, and the hail stones were rather large, I wonder how many of those ice nucleating invisible critters it took to build one golf-ball-size hail stone?

Four other ice nucleating bacterium have been discovered. But atmospheric scientists do not really know how many or what kind of microbes are living up there. They do know that the organisms live thousands of feet in the sky. Their tests to find

the bacterium at 100 to 300 feet were unsuccessful. Well, that makes me feel better.

Scientists most recently sent a high altitude balloon twenty three miles into the sky, 122,000 feet.

That is the stratosphere where ultraviolet rays are 1000 times higher than at sea level. It is at the edge of space where one could look down and see the curve of our planet. It will take months for the scientists to analyze their collection from the stratosphere.

The organisms that they collected in lower levels of the atmosphere, 10,000 to 80,000 feet, are showing natural sunscreens. Scientist, Brent Christner, says

the study “is not so different from what will happen in the future when we send missions to Mars to take samples to bring them back to Earth.”

Do these microorganisms modify our weather?

Next thing you know man will be trying to control our weather using these bacterium. I hope not. We are doing plenty to mess up our environment already.

Colossians1:16-17 “For in [Christ Jesus] all things in heaven and on Earth were created, things visible and invisible…He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”

Remember Earth Day, April 22!

GUEST COLUMN: Life in Clouds by Ann Rains Did you learn in school that raindrops form around a speck of dust? I did, and it is true. But there is more.

Every time there is a new discovery on our planet, it reinforces the “web of life” or connections between systems. Now we know that there is an at-

mospheric ecosystem. Scientists are discovering that microorganisms live in the sky.

One such organism is in frost. It actually helps ice to form on plants then tears into the leaves for nutrients. Many fruit farmers are now treating their

plants with bactericides to counteract the organisms effects.

The amount and size of hail we had in March made me wonder about the number of these microorganisms and if they, like the human population, are growing exponential-

Gavel Gamut’s

the minimum bid reaches 75 percent of the property’s assessed value. This is a necessary provision because it helps alleviate the burden on counties to maintain properties where overdue taxes exceed the value of the property. This legislation will help Hoosiers hold onto their homes and businesses.

There are at least four people who read Gavel Gamut who are snow skiers. Based upon pure demographics that means approximately forty percent of all Gavel Gamut readers are skiers. Therefore, I plan to address these next few columns to the art of careening down snow covered mountains with nothing between now and never but Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Those of you who have indulged in the self flagellation euphemistically called recreation may relate to a few verses of the Skiers National Anthem (think Margaritaville): Living on Advil, fighting the wind chill.

Guest Column: Wendy McNamara A caring community helps their own I want to bring to your attention a local Mount Vernon family who fighting a very tough battle.

The Yieda family’s four year old little boy Mac is fighting for his life. Everyday Mac must endure ten hours of dialysis because his kidneys no longer function. The doctors are not sure exactly what has happened to his kidneys, but they know he needs a transplant.

Our community has rallied to help this family by offering support and holding fundraisers to help pay medical bills that continue to climb. The fundraisers have been the efforts of the whole community and really show what our community is made of. The next fundraiser is an ATV Poker Run on April 7th at Bill Templeton’s Shop (Hwy 69 S.) and is set to be a very large event. For more details or directions, call (812)455-7496 or (812) 480-1915.

Our community, I know, will continue to come together to support the Yieda family. The residents of Mount Vernon have been incredibly generous these past few months and it is times like these that make me so grateful to live in such a caring place that

helps their own.

On a different note, legislation was passed this session to help alleviate some financial burdens that have been created due to exceedingly tough economic times. Many families and business owners have struggled to pay and keep up with property taxes. To help Hoosiers with delinquent property taxes avoid a tax sale, HEA 1090 allows county treasurers to set up a payment plan with a taxpayer.

If a taxpayer complies with the agreement to pay off overdue taxes, the county auditor will remove the property from a tax sale. This piece of legislation helps the government collect the property taxes it needs to offer vital services in the community, while allowing people keep their homes and businesses.

Additionally, the bill gives county councils the option to establish an amnesty period for fees on late property taxes that were due prior to 2012. If a taxpayer catches up on all delinquent property taxes

by July 1, 2013, penalties and interest will be forgiven. Further, it stipulates that a county may sell a property in a tax sale once

Don’t these little darlings have any folks?

Now, these are just a few representative stanzas of what makes snow skiing so irresistible to those of us who would rather ski than work, sometimes.

But, the true impetus for these ski articles was not a love for going twentyfive miles per hour straight down an icy run on waxed fiberglass. No, the raisondetre, as it were, was what happens when there is some result other than exhilaration. We will delve into this area later.

‘Ambulance Bills’ continued on Page A3 Advisory Board. They are required to appoint someone from each council district.

The qualified person must be a Posey County resident who pays property taxes. They agreed to bring a list of candidates to their next meeting in April.

Mitch Luman, president of the Wadesville-Blairsville Regional Sewer District Board provided a few updates for the council. The board remains committed to their goal of providing a sewer system for the Wadesville/Blairsville area residents. He gave a brief overview of the work some of the board has done over the past nine years.

Luman indicated that it may be necessary to appoint new leadership when the terms of those currently serving expires.

“You may need to appoint new leadership because, we’re tired,” he stated.

The commissioners have been searching for an interested individual from Robinson Township that would be willing to serve since Vic Gresham resigned at the end of 2011.

Luman explained that the $500,000 in funds the board received from Congress a few years ago is still available for use towards construction costs.

However, the board fears these funds may be withdrawn if they are not used soon.

Blairsville recently re-qualified for $300,000 in funds from a Community Block Grant from the Community Focus Fund. Unfortunately, these funds are not nearly enough to cover the approximate $9 million in funds necessary to complete the project.

They are able to qualify for low-interest loans, however there are only 450 households within the target community area. Loans won’t help buy down the project costs to make it affordable for these residents.

Luman asked the council about the possibility of using

county economic development income taxes (EDIT funds) to help finance the project. He hoped the idea would be a valid one that might give the project the momentum it needs to move forward.

Council members responded by asking for specific figures and time tables regarding the project before they could present a tax levy to the voters in the county.

Luman stated he could easily provide figures for the council. He also suggested the creation of a task force comprised of members of the county economic development coalition, council, commissioners, health department and sewer district.

He also acknowledged the unwillingness of some area residents for the project. The possibility of each homeowner paying an estimated $6,000 to abandon their current septic system and tie into a dedicated sewer line is unwelcome to some.

There may not be much of a choice. Luman went on to explain that much of Posey County’s soil is not amenable to supporting a septic system.

Also, the small lot sizes for some homeowners are not sufficient in size to support their current septic system, let alone upgrading to a new one.

Luman also discussed the board’s problem of locating property to build a wetland, which is the preferred lowmaintenance solution. He stated they haven’t found a landowner that is willing to sell land at market value.

They intend to continue looking and hopefully find a piece of property fitting for the project.

Luman will move forward by establishing a task force to finalize the plan before addressing the council again regarding funding assistance.

Featured Animal of The Posey County Humane Society INGREDIENTS • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon sized slices • 1 3/4 cups dark brown sugar • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1 egg • 1 egg yolk • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder • Sugar Dredging Mixture • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar • 2 tablespoons sugar • Fleur de sel, Maldon, sea salt, or Kosher salt for sprinkling* • *Do not use fine grain table salt (aka: iodized salt) as the flavor will be way off and unpleasant.

DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 375°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Vigorously whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder and set aside. Mix together the sugar dredging mixture in another bowl and set aside.

2. Place 10 tablespoons of butter into a thick-bottomed skillet over medium heat. The butter will foam a bit before subsiding. Once the butter takes on a tan color and begins to smell nutty take it off of the heat. Add the other two tablespoons of butter and mix it in until it melts. (See tutorial on how to brown butter.)

3. Pour the brown butter into a mixing bowl fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the brown sugar and salt and mix. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and mix together, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl at least once. Add the flour mixture in three increments being sure to scrape down the sides and bottom once or twice. Mix just until the flour is incorporated. The dough will be very thick.

4. Take 1/2 to full tablespoon-sized pieces of dough (you can make them a bit bigger or smaller to your liking, just make sure the pieces of dough are all the same size) and gently roll them into ball shapes. Dredge them in the sugar dredging mixture until well-coated. Place on the baking sheet and sprinkle with a little bit of the sprinkling salt (be reserved with the salt as very little goes a long way).

5. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges have browned a bit. Be careful not to over-bake. Allow to cool on the sheet for one minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Tastes best with a glass of milk for dipping.

Yield: Makes 4 dozen

COMMUNITY WMI News

By Steve Cochran

Library Lil will not meet on April 5, as many participants will be involved in Holy Week activities.

As most of you know, the town of Henryville, Indiana, was devastated earlier this year by an F4 tornado.

One of the institutional victims of this tornado was the Henryville Public School library. The Indiana Library Federation (ILF) is sponsoring a disaster relief fund for the Henryville, Indiana, school library system.

Those interested in helping out in this way can send a check to ILF c/o Henryville Fund, 941 E. 86th st., Ste 260, Indianapolis, Ind. 46240. Locally, Abby Flavin is helping WMI coordinate a book drive for the Henryville library. Donations of books for Henryville can be dropped off at WMI anytime during library hours, or left in the book drop with an attached Post-it Note indicating it’s a Henryville donation.

Speaking of tornados, Angela Mason recently published a book, entitled Death Rides the Sky: The Story of the 1925 Tri-State Tornado. The author will be at the Working Men’s Institute on Saturday, May 12, to give a talk about her

researches into the tornado, and to sign copies of her book, which will be for sale for $19.95.

Also coming up in May, on Thursday, May 3, the Friends of WMI will host the second in the 2012 Lecture Series: Voices of the Shoah: The Healing Power of Art and Music, presented by Lisa M. Muller. Ms. Muller has taught about the holocaust at Castle high School for 16 years, and has been a Museum Teacher Fellow at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC since 2001. This is a lecture you will not want to miss.

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 favor-

ite poems, or one you wrote.

This program is for older children and adults 16 and up, 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 published and distributed during April. I will be compiling all submitted work into a chapbook to be distributed for free to area residents.

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.

We have a number of new books available for check out – look here next week for reviews of some of our latest additions.

Philharmonic presents sold out Lollipops Concerts The Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra and Guild will present their spring Lollipop Concerts to over twelve hundred preschoolers and kindergarten students on April 3, 4, and 5, in the lobby of the Victory Theatre in downtown Evansville. These fun-filled performances will be presented twice daily beginning at 9 and 10 a.m. These concerts were first performed in November with such an enthusiastic response, that the spring shows are all sold out!

The Lollipop Concerts are a series of 45-minute educational concerts that invite children to explore the different families of orchestral instruments, while introducing them to live symphonic music through interaction

with Evansville Philharmonic musicians. An integral tradition of these concerts includes the musicians mingling with the children at the beginning of the concert to show them how their musical instruments work and sound up close. The concerts are presented by eleven of the principal musicians of the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Music Director, Alfred Savia.

In this year's Lollipop Concerts, the orchestra will take the children to far off kingdoms, and make the most beloved fairytales and fables come to life in a fun-filled presentation of Anthony Plog's Aesop's Fables and Maurice Ravel's Mother Goose Suite.

Children will hear the stories

of Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, The Tortoise and The Hare, The Mouse and The Lion, and others as never heard before - told by violins, flutes, horns and a small army of percussion instruments.

These classics have been delighting children and adults of all ages with their whimsical plots and valuable morals for centuries. Add to the mix a narrator and dancers Katelin Coursey and Braje Goines, and children will experience these stories through a multisensory integration of music, word, dance, audience-participation, and imagination!

The Lollipop Concerts are presented in partnership with the Evansville Philharmonic Guild and sponsored by Lewis Bakeries.

Black’s Chapel UMC to celebrate Easter at their new location building budget. Since then, the congregation believes God has affirmed their choice in bringing the project to fruition.

Rev. Howard will be honored on Sunday, April 15, at the dedication of the sanctuary during the 10:30 a.m. service. A plaque will be installed with his name and a special inscription.

“It’s been a beautiful testimony of God and following God, and God opening door after door,” the new pastor, Lee Shepherd, remarks. “We couldn’t have done this ourselves, not on our best days.”

Nonetheless, the special bond among Black’s Chapel members is witnessed in the smiles and easy conversation with just a few members of the building committee: Don Viviano, Dennis Angel, Nancy Hasting and Brian Topper. Nancy Hasting comments about how the building has brought Black Chapel’s new sign that will be on display at their new location at the former the congregation together.

By Pam Robinson After eight months of renovation, the old Keck Ford car showroom in Mount Vernon has been transformed into a house of worship for Black’s Chapel United Methodist Church. The remodeled building opens this Thursday, April 5, at 7 p.m. to feature the Drama of the Last Supper. Then, on Easter Sunday, April 8, starting at 10:30 a.m., as light pours in through the glassenclosed sanctuary, “Alleluia” will resound in the voice of God’s people exalting in the blessing of a Risen Lord.

“I’m super excited, going with the flow,” says Rev. Lee Shepherd, the new pastor since January 1, 2012. “It’s just amazing.

It’s just so neat to see everything and be part of the excitement. I am blessed.”

Building committee members credit their previous pastor of 13 years, Rev. Lester Howard, with the vision to relocate Black’s Chapel from Bald Knob Road six miles outside of town. At the Bald Knob location, the congregation spilled out from the sanctuary into the fellowship hall—and still needed more room.

After a burdensome attempt to relocate Black’s Chapel east of Mount Vernon, Howard encouraged the church to keep the faith and consider the former Keck Ford property. The price was reduced a couple of times on the market until finally it fit the

Sermon of the Week: ‘It is finished’ provides reason to rejoice, not mourn

By Rev. Sean Esterline, Messiah Lutheran Church Read St. John 19:17-20. The end has come.

What had its humble beginning in a stable in Bethlehem had its humiliating end on a cross outside Jerusalem: the life of Jesus of Nazareth. What began in the Jordan River reached its conclusion atop Mount Calvary: the earthly ministry of the Christ of God. On one day, within a matter of hours, it was all over; it was finished, and the devil could not stand it, for the Christ had the last word, one word which felled the foe: tetelesthai, a Greek word that means "it is finished" of 'it has been completed." When

Worship with us

the devil heard Jesus utter this word from the cross, he knew he had been defeated once and for all. For the grand foe, this Friday was not a good Friday. Although he bruised the heel of the long-promised Messiah, the Christ of God crushed his head with that one word, tetelesthai: "It is finished!" The devil's hold on sinful man was finished. In hell he cried out in anguish while the crucified Lord cried out a word of victory from the cross. Tetelesthai: "It is finished!"

What is also finished is sin's hold on us. We struggle with sin. We are steeped in sin. We

were all conceived and born in sin. Despite our best intentions, which pave the road to hell, we still sin against God, doing what He forbids and not doing what He requires. First and foremost, He requires that we follow Him, even to the point of death. But the wages of sin is death, for we have not followed Him as we should.

We do not fear, love, and trust in Him above all things. We lack a proper First Commandment relationship with God. This is the result of our fallen nature. Man once possessed the image of God, but it was lost in the Fall of mankind in the Garden of Eden. Without the image of God, without the holiness of God, we are finished.

Yet thanks to Jesus, what is finished is the hold of the unholy triad over us: the devil, the world, and our sinful flesh. We are no longer slaves to them but slaves to Christ. He did what we cannot do, make full payment for our sins.

We cannot make satisfaction for our sins, for we are by nature sinful and unclean and cannot finish atoning for our sins. For this reason Christ, the Lamb of God, took away the sin of the world, has mercy on us, and grants us His peace. The only offering that could be made for sin and be accepted by God is the sacrifice of the Lamb without blemish or defect. Christ our great High Priest became our perfect Sacrifice when He offered Himself up to death for us. He has paid the price for us. The sacrifice is completed. It is finished: tetelesthai!

The sacrifice for our sins is completed. The tyranny of the devil is finished. Our Father's love for us has been perfected by the all-atoning and self-sacrificing act of love by His Son on the cross. This love He communicates to us today in His Word and again in the body and blood of our Lord. The body of Christ that was nailed to the cross He gives us to eat, and the blood which poured from His sacred veins He gives us to drink. On Good Friday, we come to the Lord's Table, we come into His presence with hearts thankful for this means of God's grace, because through it we receive the forgiveness of sins that our Lord won for us on the cross.

Yes, we are thankful, not mournful, today.

Yes, Friday’s altar is bare. Yes, the color for Friday is black. Yes, we observe Good Friday – but not to mourn. We remember the death of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the death He died for us…for the forgiveness of our sins.

And so as we spend this Holy Week reflecting upon our Lord's death, the Holy Spirit turns our hearts and our focus past the somber reflection of Good Friday toward this coming Sunday celebration: Easter day, the eighth day of Holy Week, the first day of the new creation—the Resurrection of Our Lord!! Behold, He makes all things new. Tetelesthai: It is finished!

We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ! Thanks be to God! Amen.

MVJHS production is comical scream Mount Vernon Junior High School will stage “The Creepy Creeps of Pilgrim Road,” a monstrously funny musical with characters reminiscent of the Addams Family.

Performances will be in the Performing Arts Center of the high school at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 13, and at 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 14. Admission will be $7 for adults and $5 for students (K-12) and senior citizens (65+). Tickets are on sale at the school’s office and will be available at the door.

The Creeps, a charming though unusual family, live in a dilapidated mansion in Edible Falls. Heading the home is Sinbad and his captivating spouse, Tarantula. Also, you will meet up with their teenage niece, Sally, gorgeous maid, Lullaby Jones, and a butler who thinks he’s a

billy goat. Unfortunately, Flora Limetree, a local society dragon, loathes the Creeps. Each year, she enters Pilgrim Road in the All-American Street Contest. But every year the street loses, in her opinion, due to the appearance of the Creeps’ house.

Scheming with her nephew, Bubba, Flora redraws the town limits, and the Creeps find themselves outsiders.

A guest arrives (Mortimer Weird) and falls in love with Sinbad’s grandmother, who is raising crocodiles in the dungeon.

Additionally, there are pirates, vultures, talking clock, a lively ghostly portrait and an ancient telephone operator who lives in the walls. Eventually, the Creeps are back ‘on the map;’ and thanks to them, Pilgrim Road wins the contest.

Toss in a number of

show-stopping tunes (“Hickory, Dickory Dock,” “It’s Nice to Have a Man Around the Dungeon,” “This Beautiful House,” and many more original delights) and you have a funny musical that will provide great family entertainment!

Director Cheryl Weber indicates that the musical will be a hilariously funny musical that will appeal to all age groups. “Get ready to laugh when the Creeps come to life on stage”, she indicates. Over 40 middle school students comprise the intriguing cast of characters including a billy goat and a mummy. The Director indicates that the students have been having a great time learning their lines, the choreography, and the music.

A reception will follow at 7 p.m. in the McCutchan Art Center/Pace Galleries.

He retired in 2009, but continues to serve as the foundation’s senior advisor.

Connor lives in Hillsborough, North Carolina with his wife Carolyn. He holds honorary degrees from several colleges and is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society.

Keck-Gonnerman April-May Smoke Signal I hope everyone has enjoyed the mild winter we have had this year. As I write this, March is only half over and we have already had to mow our yard. I want to thank Mike Blackburn for his efforts in leading this club for the past few years.

It will be difficult but I will try my best to continue what he has accomplished. Bill Esche has stepped up to take my old position as vice president and is also the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Membership Chairman. Please make a note of the change of address when sending dues payments.

I received a phone call last week from JW Cleveland and he is doing much better following his recent surgery. I believe he is ready for the tractor show season to begin. On a sadder note, we lost long-time KG member Everett Hein on March 17 following complications from a stroke. He will be missed by us all, as there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very many activities Everett didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attend. I want to thank Mike Blackburn for sending out the email notification of Everettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing

to the membership. Also, I want to thank Dennis Herrmann for sending flowers to the funeral home on behalf of the club.

The annual KG tractor drive will be April 21 at 9:30 with a rain date of April 28. We will leave from the same spot as the past few years at the swimming pool parking lot inside Harmonie State Park. We are having Southern Ride BBQ cater the meal for us this year. The cost for the meal will be $6.50-$7.00. Harmonie Healthcare will provide drinks. It would be appreciated if members could bring a dessert. We will be making a stop at the nursing home during the ride. The residents really enjoy seeing all the old tractors. We will also be having a static display of tractors at the nursing home. If anyone is interested in bringing a tractor to park at the nursing home for the residents and the public to see, we will have someone there to watch over the tractors. For those that do, fill out a card with a little information about the tractor

so we can answer any questions that may be asked.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too early to mention the annual Pullinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for Relay benefit antique tractor and garden tractor pull on May 20. This pull is for fun and bragging rights and all proceeds benefit the Mount Vernon Relay for Life.

Weigh-in begins at noon and the pull starts at 2 pm. Plan on bringing your antique tractor or garden tractor and have fun while also helping a worthy cause.

We held a workday on March 17 and began the process of installing a system to remove the sawdust from under the mill without having to shut the mill down and shovel. We also dug a hole to pour the concrete to anchor the pulley extension shaft outside the building. The club has allocated money to add a lean-to on the east side of the sawmill building. So watch for upcoming workdays to get this work accomplished. I want to thank Bill Esche and Andy Glines for their work on these projects. Andy still needs several parts to return

Cover Crop Breakfast is an overwhelming success The Southwest Indiana Cover Crop Breakfast held March 22nd at Stollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Country Inn was a great success.

Hosted by the local SWCDs, Posey, Gibson, Pike, Warrick and Vanderburgh Counties, the breakfast was mcâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d

by Travis Gogel, District Conservationist in Gibson County. More than 50 people attended.

Soil slake tests and rainfall runoff simulator tests which visually show rainwater runoff possible with tilled soils were conducted by Bill Norfleet, Posey County DC. Jesse Uebelhor of Superior Ag Resources was the speaker. Gary Seibert,

Resource Specialist for the Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA), explained how cover crops capture nitrates and recycle nutrients. Mark Cambron of NRCS presented information on each countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cost-share opportunities and cover crop programs.

After the meeting, attendees were invited to Kevin Rexingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm for a field visit. A soil pit was dug to show the length of the annual ryegrass roots, stability provided by the root systems and nutrient capture/recycling. Many thanks to Daniel and Kent Lamey for the use of their backhoe.

Thank you to our breakfast sponsors: Brodbeck Seeds, Daylight Farm Supply, Elberfeld State Bank, ProSoil Ag Solution and Wabash Valley Grain.

Cost-share money for the breakfast meeting and each countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cover crop program is provided by a Clean Water Indiana grant through the ISDA. The Posey County Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) has costshare grants available for cover crops starting this fall.

Details will be released at a later date. Contact the office at 812-838-4191, extension 3 or e-mail to jeri.ziliak@ in.nacdnet.net.

Purdue Extension to lead Climate System Workshop April 25 The climate system workshop is an eight-hour workshop that provides a foundation to understanding climate.

March 15 â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Evansville, Indiana; Purdue Extension will lead a climate system workshop providing a foundation to understanding climate.

The workshop will be held on April 25 from 8:30-4:30 CDT at Wesselman Woods Nature Preserve Interpretive Center. Hans Schmitz, agricultural meteorologist and educator with Purdue Extension, and Ted Leuenberger,

retired science teacher from Benton County, Indiana, will be presenting. The workshop will address four general questions: What composes a climate system? What are causes and effects of component change? What are the impacts of these changes? What can we do about it? The workshop contains hands-on activities. These activities are easily replicated for use by attendees in their own communities and classrooms. Through this workshop, participants will gain access to the Indiana

Climate Education network, website, and resources. Upon completion, participants will also receive a certificate of completion. The workshop is appropriate for formal, informal, and non-formal educators, as well as adults interested in learning about global warming, climate variability, and climate change. To register for the workshop, contact Hans Schmitz at hschmitz@ purdue.edu or (812) 3853491. There is no cost associated with this workshop, and lunch will be provided to participants.

Deadline approaching for CRP General Sign-up Indianapolis, March 30, 2012 - Julia A. Wickard, State Executive Director of USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA) wants to remind landowners and farmers that the opportunity to enroll in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) general sign-up 43 ends on Friday, April 6, 2012. Producers who want to offer eligible land for CRP's competitive general sign-up may enroll at the FSA county office where their farm records are maintained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;CRP promotes a balance of allowing land owners to enroll land that protects our natural resources while still allowing

the most fertile and productive land on their farms to be used for the production of food,â&#x20AC;? said Wickard.

CRP is a voluntary program that protects environmentally sensitive land. Producers enrolling in CRP plant long-term, resource-conserving covers in exchange for rental payments, cost-share and technical assistance.

Producers are encouraged to contact their local FSA service center or visit FSAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/ crp for additional information regarding CRP.

Weekly Outlook: March USDA Reports and Beyond Corn and soybean prices continue to be influenced by a wide range of fundamental factors. Currently, those factors include prospects for the rate of economic growth and commodity demand in China, prospects for the size of the current South American crop, and prospects for the 2012 growing season in the Northern Hemisphere.

The USDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s March 30 Grain Stocks and Prospective Plantings reports will

also provide important fundamental information for both markets. Anticipating the level of March 1 stocks has become increasingly difficult over the past year or more. For corn, the difficulty lies in the erratic levels of implied quarterly feed and residual use since the spring of 2010. Stocks reports since then have provided a number of surprises. In the newsletter of March 5 some estimates

of corn consumption during the December-February quarter this year and implications for March 1 stocks were outlined. A case can be made for stock levels in a wide range, but inventories within a few million bushels of 6.35 billion bushels would be consistent with the USDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s projection of feed and residual use for the year.

For soybeans, the difficulty in anticipating stock levels is less pronounced,

but stems from the discontinuation of the monthly Census Bureau report of the domestic crush. Estimates of the monthly crush are reported by the National Oilseed Processors Association for its members, but not all processors are members.

With exports for the quarter known, the quarterly stocks estimate will reveal total domestic disappearance, including seed, feed, and residual use, as well as the

crush. We anticipate March 1 stocks near 1.365 billion bushels. For both corn and soybeans, stock levels that deviate substantially from market expectations would have at least a short term price impact.

The Prospective Plantings report will contain important information about the potential size of the 2012 crops even though actual plantings may deviate from intentions. First, in combination with the report of winter wheat seedings released in January, the report will provide an indication of the magnitude of total planted acreage in 2012.

With substantial prevented plantings last year, acreage intentions this year could be much larger than actual plantings last year. High commodity prices, generally favorable early planting conditions, and a reduction in CRP acres could contribute to that increase.

Second, the report will obviously reveal planting intentions for individual crops, providing more insight into prospective crop size. There is general consensus that corn plantings will increase by 2 to 3 million acres, but less consensus about acreage of other crops. A larger percentage of planted acres will also be harvested in 2012 than in 2011 if weather conditions this summer are more normal. Third, the report will reveal the geographic location of intended

changes in acreage of individual crops which might influence expectations about the potential U.S. average yields. Surprises in the report should be expected, with the magnitude of total planted acreage having the largest potential for a surprise.

Beyond the March 30 reports, spring weather and planting conditions will be important. Early planting (or more correctly, lack of late planting) of the corn crop could have some yield implications, but may be more important for the timing of harvest in the Corn Belt. If March 1 stocks support prospects for small year-ending stocks, an earlier than normal harvest in the Corn Belt would alleviate some of the concerns about the small inventories. The USDA will update the forecast of year ending stocks in the April 10 WASDE report. Forecasts of much colder weather in the week of April 2nd may have some implications for planting progress. The USDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first weekly Crop Progress report will be released on April 2nd. Individual state reports reveal substantial planting progress in the South.

So much uncertainty about stocks, consumption, and production makes pricing decisions difficult, particularly for the 2012 crop.

Soybean prices have rallied sharply from the January lows and appear to be pricing in a smaller South American crop, unchanged to declining acreage in the U.S., and smaller stocks by the end of the 2012-13 marketing year. November futures are well above the spring price guarantee for crop revenue insurance, with some looking for a move back to $14. Some price protection seems prudent with prices well above insurance guarantees. In contrast, December corn futures have declined back to near the January lows and are below the insurance price guarantee in anticipation of a large crop and rebuilding of inventories during the year ahead. More patience may be warranted in making additional new crop sales of corn.

Vikings beat weather, Spartans in opener

By Dave Pearce New North Posey head baseball coach Kevin Smith is perfect. He has never lost a game as head coach of the North Posey Vikings. He and his team have found a way to hang in and fight and win. However, the Vikings have played only one game, a 7-6 thrilling victory over South Knox in Friday evening’s opener.

It was a typical opener for both teams as they looked good at times and not-so-good at others. But the Vikings were playing out of their new digs, tremendously updated dugouts. But they were fighting not only South Knox, but were also fighting the weather, trying to get the game in ahead of a storm that drooped over a half-inch of rain about 30 minutes following the conclusion of the contest.

Smith was happy with the win but admitted that his team has a lot of areas to improve.

“We’ll take the win but we had way too many strikeouts,” Smith said following the game. “I thought their pitcher pitched a nice ballgame. He was a lefty who threw the ball in the upper 70s and did a good job of mixing his pitches and keeping us off-balance. That was a tough pitcher to start the season off with. But all-in-all, the kids battled and we got

out with a win.

The Vikings could have made it a little easier on themselves as they had a 5-4 lead going into the fifth inning.

Starter Kyle Voegel had gone the distance and although it was probably not his best night on the mound, he managed to get through six innings before getting into a jam and looking to reliever Tyler Stolz to help him and the team.

Senior Jared Meliff did his part to give the Vikings a little breathing room in the bottom of the sixth inning as he homered over the right centerfield fence to give his team a 6-4 lead. But that “cushion” proved to be a lifesaver as the Spartans found a way to put two runs on the board in the top of the seventh.

“Jared’s home run did give us a little bit of cushion there,” Smith said. “We had two outs there and we easily could have gone down without any runs but that run was huge for us.”

In tying the game, the Spartans had their best hitter up and Smith chose, against his desire, to concede the tying run and let his team have a chance to win it in the bottom of the seventh.

Young Lady Vikings softball team off to rough and rocky start

By Dave Pearce The North Posey Lady Vikings have had few things go their way early in this year’s season. They have played well at times but have yet to come out with a win to show for it.

But skipper Gary Gentil knew coming in that his team had some growing pains to face so the early losses against stiff competition have not come as a complete surprise.

But Gentil indicated that he would rather his team be learning at this point in the season rather than chalking up a lot of wins and perhaps getting a feeling that they might be a little better than they think. Battling injuries and a murderous early-season schedule, Gentil knows his team is not nearly as bad as the early record might show.

“Right now we are trying to find the rotation and the batting order,” Gentil said.

Gentil was faced with the proposition of replacing the pitcher who holds several North Posey High School records.

So far, he has used three pitchers and has not been disappointed with the efforts of any of them. However, injuries

and errors have come up big in the early part of the year and Gentil knows that when things settle down, his team will be ready to compete with the better teams in the area.

The team opened the season hitting the ball well in an 8-6 loss to the North High Huskies. They followed that up with a 9-0 disappointing loss to Mater Dei where Gentil said his team was somewhat dominated, mostly because of the early season, by the Mater Dei pitching.

“We hit the ball pretty well against North and Deana Lindauer had three RBIs that night but since then, we have really struggled getting the runs in,” Gentil said. “We have hit the ball but we are not stringing hits together and we are leaving a lot of people on base.”

“Mater Dei’s pitcher had a very good day and she was getting a lot of calls on the corners, as good pitchers will get,” Gentil said. “We were not hitting that day and we had a bunch of errors and only four hits.”

They then dropped a 2-0 decision at undefeated Henderson County. The Lady Colonels came into the game at

7-0 and the teams played even until one bad fielding inning seemed to make the difference.

“We played very good ball for six innings,” Gentil said.

“But we had a couple of errors there in the fourth inning and they got their two runs and that was the difference. We had five hits and three errors and all our errors came in the same inning.”

Then in Saturday’s game at Carmi-White County.

“We played a really good game and we used three different pitchers,” Gentil said. “We played a good game until the sixth inning. It was 2-2 and we had one out and the wheels came off again.”

“With the exception of the Mater Dei game, we have basically had one bad inning that has taken us out of the ballgame,” Gentil said. “But we will get things fixed. No one likes being 0-4 but these girls will keep working and we will get better hitting and we are just finding ourselves

The Lady Vikings have had to find substitutes for Taylor Patton, who was hit by a pitch and has been suffering with a stone bruise. Freshman Maddie Elpers, who has show a lot of potential in practice, had a tooth knocked out and she, too, is recuperating. Taylor Franklin has also been trying to recuperate a sore shoulder.

“We have been utilizing our senior pitcher Jordan Wassmer and she pitched a very good game against North. She had only one earned run against her,” Gentil said. “We have been using Ashley Schoor at Henderson County and she pitched a very good complete game there against an undefeated team. We have also used Hayley Elderkin, a freshman, against Mater Dei and she came in and did a really good job under the circumstances. She also came into the game at Carmi and did a really good job.”

The team is off the early part of the week but will have games on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, all on the road.

Thursday’s game is at Gibson Southern and Friday the Vikings play at Tell City. They will travel to Barr-Reeve on Saturday.

Viking Baseball, from Page 1A “We were just trying to get to the bottom of the seventh and see what our batters could do,” Smith said.

“There’s a lot of things to work on and we have 27 more of these things and like we told the kids, it is a journey and we faced a team with a good pitcher tonight and we were fortunate to come out with the win.”

In the bottom of the seventh, with wind off of rain kicking up spring dust, the Vikings had to find a way to beat the opponent and the weather. They did.

Third baseman Alec Werry got on to lead of the inning and the next batter also reached. Werry stole third and with senior Colton Motz coming up to bat, the Spartans gambled and issued an intentional pass to load the bases.

That’s when Alex Bender reached up and laid down

the perfect bunt, about two inches inside the first baseline and there was not a play to be had as the Vikings had scratched out a 7-6 win.

“I’d like to take credit for the way things played out but that just worked out that way,” Smith said. “But any time you can get your leadoff guy on in that situation it gives huge momentum to your side. Alec did a nice job of driving the ball tonight.

He had two hits for us and a couple of RBIs.” Bender had not had a great night at the plate, prior to his game-winning bunt. As a matter of fact, he had been retired twice looking at third strikes. But he didn’t let memories of that get in the way of doing what he had to do for his team.

The Vikings, 1-0 will jump from the frying pan into the fire this week as the season jumps into high gear.

Mount Vernon’s Andy Schneider is Indiana Hall of Fame member

JUST ASK US, WE MIGHT HAVE IT.

JUST ASK US, WE MIGHT HAVE IT.

By Steve Joos Andy Schneider was fun to watch.

Of course, one would have to watch him wrestle and not look away at all, since it didn’t take long for the Mount Vernon heavyweight to do his thing.

The former Wildcat mat standout, the school’s only twotime state champion, was inducted into the Indiana Wrestling Hall of Fame recently.

The big grappler won 92 matches en route to state titles in 1993-94, with a 47-1 mark in his junior year, while registering 35 pins, also a school mark. The 45 wins in 1994 is fourth on the all-time list, while the 47 wins in 1993 second, as are the 307 team points he racked up in 1993.

Doug Hamm and then-assistant coach Tom Heckman had to build aggressiveness in Schneider, which is kind of surprising, since he started out in fairly impressive physical shape at six-one, 250 pounds.

Prior to Schneider’s freshman year, Hamm said that it JUST ASK US, WE MIGHT HAVE IT. was rare for a heavyweight to Have Questions for us? wrestle varsity in his first year Call 1-812-838-5200 of high school, but then one had to consider his build and his desire. “(Schneider) likes to MOUNT VERNON wrestle,” Hamm said prior AUTO PARTS to the start of the 1990-91 campaign. “He likes to mop OFFICE HOURS: Monday through Friday: people up. We expect him to 7:30am - 5pm do well.”

one tie which really proved significant.

Schneider wrestled North’s Bill Page to a 14-14 tie, but showed the heart and desire necessary to win.

Battling Page to a draw showed he took care of what was then a main priority, Hamm said, building his confidence.

And if the performance in that match was an indication, then it was a sign of good things to come.

It definitely was, as Schneider improved after that and got even better the next three years, as the wrestler Hamm described as a “teddy bear” heading into high school was still a bear, but a far more ferocious one.

By his sophomore year, Mount Vernon fans were on their feet when the heavyweights wrestled and Schneider would usually take as little time as possible to pin his opponent.

“I’d rather throw ya than know ya,” was his motto and that was the case most of the time as he registered a pair of pins en route to a Regional championship at Castle.

Athletic director Gary Redman spoke at an athletic banquet back then of taking his sons to watch Schneider wrestle and remarked about how surprised they were that the match ended so quickly.

That’s all there was and usually all there was going to be, Redman told them.

Schneider was 38-6 as a sophomore and reached the first round at Market Square Arena after going 2-1 in the Seymour Semistate to qualify for the state meet. He gave Frank Hammond of Perry Meridian (the eventual state champion) a fight for most of the match before getting pinned with 20 seconds to go in the championship bout after Schneider pinned Merrillville’s Marshall Moore (then ranked seventh) in the semifinals.

His first trip to Indianapolis ended with a 9-4 loss to Noblesville’s Cory Loukis in the first round, which was especially disappointing since several observers felt Schneider had the potential to crack the top four and finish as high as third.

Those goals would be set even higher over the next two years.

Schneider tore though the competition his junior year, registering a number of first-period pins for most of the season.

His championship bout against Boonville’s Jason Trevino in the Big Eight Conference meet was just the fourth match that extended past the first two minutes, as Schneider nailed the Pioneer grappler 20 seconds into round two.

After a rough day at the Castle Regional, Schneider came back with an attitude at the Seymour Semistate, rolling through four opponents in a combined total of 6:22 to earn his second trip to Indianapolis.

After three more pins, including one with five seconds left in his semifinal match against Chad Hedges of Carroll that tied the state record at that time, Schneider took on another dominant heavyweight, Damon Hummel of Rochester, for the heavyweight championship.

Hamm and Schneider had to develop a strategy to control Hedges’ explosiveness and after being on his back for about a minute and a half, came back to take a 5-0 lead and never looked back, winning 11-7 for his first title.

The 1993 Wildcats won their Sectional title, with the team trophy riding on the outcome of the heavyweight match. In that contest, Schneider was matched against a familiar foe, Ross Key of Princeton took him down in 1:41 to claim not only the individual Sectional championship, but also a team title for Mount Vernon.

That wouldn’t be the last time those two would meet.

Schneider was just as strong his senior year, although there were a number of times when he just went out and took a forfeit.

The two met for the conference title in 1994, as well as the Sectional championship and hen again in the Regional. In the last match, Key’s goal was to go all three rounds with Schneider and he achieved that goal.

The bad news? Schneider posted an 8-2 decision to win the championship.

They met again a week later at the Seymour Semistate, with the championship once again on the line.

Key took Schneider down for the second time that day (the other takedown was registered by Chris Colvin of Mooresville), but that match ended 10 seconds into the second period.

Schneider’s second run at Market Square Arena started with the late show (the match began at 10 p.m. EST) and the big grappler was eager to get it out of the way and go back to the hotel to rest.

As a result, Kokomo’s Brett Amos went down in 25 seconds.

After pining Todd Croy of NorthWood in 4:26, Schneider faced Hummel for a semifinal rematch of their 1993 title out.

Schneider had t shake off an early attempt at a throw by the Rochester grappler, then came back with a takedown and scored off five reversals to open a 4-0 lead.

He then became the first heavyweight to repeat as state champ since 1968 with a 9-3 win over Chris Hedges of Fort Wayne Carroll for the championship.

Schneider wrestled in a pair of meets after the seasons ended a college-style meet in Pittsburgh which matches state champions and a Regional tournament in Lacrosse, WI. In one of those tourneys, some members of the Indiana contingent weren’t that convinced of Schneider’s abilities.

Afterwards, they believed.

There were a number of people whom Schneider credited for his success, including his parents, Hamm and former Mount Vernon athlete James Cox. Schneider developed a strong work ethic while growing up on the farm of his parents, Dale and Anita, according to his former coach (he tried getting in shape for his senior by riding a bicycle), while Hamm was able to prepare him for competition, citing the former Wildcat coach’s abilities ion working with the mental aspects of the sport.

Cox was Schneider’s sparring partner in the wresting room at Mount Vernon, working with him for hours in order to help him improve.

On local new photographer called Schneider “the Bear” because of his appearance and abilities on the mat.

And after a little training, the type of bear changed and was transformed into a hall of farmer.

LEGALS

How to write your own last will and testament Few people, young or old, look forward to writing a will. A will is not an easy subject to broach, but it is important to have documents in place to ease the burden for family members.

When a person dies without a will, his or her assets might not go where he or she intended. In some instances,

assets might go to the government. For parents who die before their children are grown, a will can also serve as a legal document indicating a plan for custody of the kids.

Although it is often preferable to consult with a local estate-planning attorney who understands the language and

legalities surrounding a will, it is also possible to write a will yourself. There are forms that can be purchased from office-supply stores, or a will can be prepared online by answering questions and then generating a form to print. The will also can be typed or handwritten. Handwritten wills are called ho-

lographic wills and may not be recognized unless written during an emergency situation, such as a fatal illness.

Laws regarding wills vary based on where you live.

Therefore, learn the legalities before preparing a will so you will have a document that holds up in a court of law and can be executed to your

desires. Here is some of the basic information that may be included in your will.

• Include your name, address, date of birth, and social security numbers if they will better help identify you should there be confusion.

• State that you are of sound mind when writing this

will and of contractual capacity.

• Write a statement indicating that this will revokes all other wills that may have been executed before.

• List the names and addresses of all of your children. If the children are

Juanita Hyatt stays too busy for trouble to find New Harmony native Juanita Hyatt is told to behave herself every time her friends see her.

The 95-year-old answers, “I try to be good, but I was born to get in trouble of some kind.”

Actually, Hyatt has no time to find trouble. She’s too busy caring for her neighbors in northern Posey County.

Hyatt still drives, at least where she needs to go. She’s a regular at Hirsch’s Grocery and Department Store in Poseyville and at Fifth Third Bank and the U.S. Post Office in New Harmony. The workers know she’s as likely as not to bring them cookies when she comes in.

“I’d love to go to Eastland Mall,” she confides, “but if I had

just one tiny accident, they’d take my license. So I don’t go.”

Later, she hints at her driving goal. “My sister Beulah Freeman had her license renewed at age 98,” she announces. Freeman lived to be 101.

Hyatt and her sister Kathryn Carr of Mount Vernon are the two surviving of the five children born to George and Grace Horton. Her only brother was killed during the Griffin tornado. Of her three sons (Bill, Ronnie and Keith), only Keith remains. She lost her husband Robert, former manager of the Ribeyre and Gunther farms, in 1995. Needless to say, Hyatt is no stranger to sorrow, yet in spite of it (perhaps because of it) she lives each day

to the fullest.

Her yard is filled with several beds of blooming flowers, all of which Hyatt tends herself. She sits on the ground and scoots along to weed and plant. Working outdoors keeps her in good shape, body and soul.

She’s a frequent visitor to the Charles Ford Home in town, often playing cards with residents there.

She even takes one to church with her every Sunday at her beloved Johnson United Methodist Church. At Johnson UMC, she has been very active with the United Methodist Women and still helps with the apple dumpling and ice cream booth during Kunstfest and the candy booth during Christmas in New Harmony.

The former beautician enjoys most, however, her volunteer work at New Harmonie Healthcare Center. For a long time, she was the women’s hairstylist there and gave manicures every Friday to men and women alike.

She also helped with Bingo every Tuesday afternoon and Thursday night. She still takes baked goods to the residents and visits with them, lingering on the Alzheimer’s unit.

“I receive the biggest joy and pleasure from visiting the nursing home, especially the Alzheimer’s unit,” she says. “The Alzheimer’s patients inspire me to do better.”

A person could do a whole lot worse than inspire Juanita Hyatt, herself an inspiration to all of us.

irsch’s Store, a local landmark for 96 years When asked to talk about Hirsch’s Store, owner Susan Hirsch Weatherholt takes visitors to the archives, a large bottom drawer of a store display cabinet. She rifles through the drawer and eventually pulls out newspaper articles and photos featuring her family’s celebrations of the store’s 10th anniversary, 25th anniversary, 50th anniversary and 75th anniversary. As everyone in Poseyville knows, the grocery and department store that Weatherholt’s grandfather J.L Hirsch opened in 1916 just keeps going and going and energizing the community.

The store has undergone three expansions since 1916 when Hirsch moved from Haubstadt to Poseyville and has weathered some tough economic times.

Weatherholt is especially humbled by and grateful for the credit extended from the wholesaler to her grandfather during the Great Depression.

“The wholesaler actually carried J.L. through the Depression,” Weatherholt emphasizes. “The family is very fortunate, or I wouldn’t be here today.”

In turn, J.L. Hirsch, better known as John, set up in-store credit accounts for his customers (still in limited use today), his friends and neighbors in Posey County—or accepted payment in kind.

He thought nothing of operating on a barter system during the Depression, receiving a milk cow and chickens, for example, in exchange for his store commodities.

“He always had plenty of eggs,” Weatherholt recalls.

In 1938, John’s son Charles Hirsch started managing the department store at the front of the building. He set us his merchandise facing the street (to the south) with the men’s wear on the right and the women’s wear on the left, so the men and women each claimed an entrance. (An artist known for his paintings of barns and rural buildings, Charles Hirsch can be proud his prints remain on sale in the store today.) By 1948, Weatherholt’s dad Bob started running the grocery store. The two brothers became partners in 1958. Their brother Msgr. Clinton Hirsch retired from the priesthood in the Diocese of Evansville.

The rest, as they say, is history. Bob started teaching the business to Weatherholt and her four sisters, one by one, when they reached the age of 13. They all developed a strong work ethic. Ironically, however, only Weatherholt and one more sister, Amy, have counted on retail for a living. Julie is a doctor while Janet and Sarah are teachers.

In December 1994, Charles Hirsch retired from department store management, so in January 1995, Weatherholt came on with her dad. A certified public accountant, she’d already been keeping the books for the store a number of years.

“We’ve been really lucky that Poseyville people have patronized our store for all these years,” Weatherholt

comments. “We are happy to serve you and save you money.”

She promises an anniversary extravaganza to remember in 2016 when the store celebrates its 100th year in business. Given the dedication and hard work of the Hirsch family, a bicentennial celebration is likely to leave its mark as well on America’s 22nd century.

Fun alternatives to Easter Egg Hunts • Pin the tail on the Easter bunny: Make a variation on the donkey game by drawing (or buying) a picture of a bunny. Glue some cotton balls to a piece of cardboard to make tails, using double-sided tape on the back. Spin kids around and have them try to attach the tail • Treasure hunt: Instead of children racing around to find hidden eggs, parents can draw up a treasure map that takes the children, via different clues, to a special treasure hidden. It could be a chocolate bunny or a basket of treats.

• Who Am I? Print Easter-related phrases onto cards that then attach to a headband or hat with a small piece of tape or Velcro-type material. The person has to guess the word (without seeing what it is) by the clues others provide.

• Lucky duck: Parents can create the carnival game at home by marking a painted dot under a few of several rubber ducks that are afloat in a bucket, bathtub or kiddie pool. The children who pick a duck with a mark on the bottom win a prize.

Come Celebrate EASTER with us!

DO YOU KNOW:

WHAT IS

EASTER? Luke 24:1-12 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.

And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel.

And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.

Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.”

And they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.
