By Dave Pearce According to information from Clark County, Marvin Lee Kershaw, 39, of Mount Vernon, pleaded guilty this week to voluntary manslaughter in the November 2009 death of Jon W. David, 43, and attempted voluntary manslaughter of Lisa Kershaw. Both are Class A felonies. They carry potential sentences of 20 to 50 years. He was originally charged with murder and attempted murder. The case had been moved to Clark County due to pre-trial publicity in Posey County. Posey County Prosecutor Jodi Uebelhack said that the black Corvette Kershaw was driving when
he left Posey County was well noted as hundreds of calls of a black Corvette had some in from all around the area. According to information from Uebelhack, Kershaw’s request for yet another psychiatric evaluation was denied by the judge in the case and that could have been the turning point in the case. “At that point, he realized that he was getting ready to go to trial on Monday and was ready to talk about an agreement,” Uebelhack said during a function of the Posey County Democratic Women in Poseyville this week. “We have had a lot of jury trials in Posey County this year already and I had to ask the county for $5,000 more
just to cover some basic costs of this trial there.” Uebelhack said she believes it was a victory for the state. At 4:50 a.m. Nov. 21, Mount Vernon (Ind.) Police received a 911 call from Lisa Kershaw, reporting shots fired at 420 Coronado Drive. Upon arrival officers found David’s body in a bedroom, where he’d been shot three times. Lisa Kershaw told officers she was in the bedroom with David when she saw a silhouette of a man, believed to be her former husband, Lee Kershaw, standing in the doorway, according to a probable cause affidavit. The man opened fire with a rifle. She ran into a nearby bathroom
Spiritual ‘vagabond’ Honaker takes next step By Pam Robinson The Rev. Martha Honaker of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in New Harmony has been a self-described “vagabond” on her spiritual journey. Yet, one constant has guided her way—a compassionate heart intent on leading people to healing. But she will be retiring soon and leaving New Harmony. In a former life (1969 to 1979), Honaker served as a nurse anesthetist, first in her native North Carolina, then in Anniston, Ala. She helped to bring physical healing when people were at their most vulnerable—in the operating room, or Ore. Death confronted her more often than she liked, and although raised a Methodist, she turned to the Episcopalian church to be spiritually fed by daily Communion. By 1970, she was a confirmed as an Episcopalian. Her colleagues in OR knew when she took a year’s leave for religious study, she would not return. They saw her gift of spiritual healing. In 1980, Honaker entered Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry in Ambridge, Penn. While there, she and another student ran a medical clinic to help finance their education. Three years later, she graduated from Trinity with the Master of Divinity and the faculty’s support of her ordination. She immediately started working as a lay assistant for a small church in a nearby steel mill town. Then, in 1984, she was ordained in Pittsburgh. Afterward, God led her to accept the call as rector at St. James Episcopal Church in Penn Hill, Penn., where she remained five years. Since the Episcopal church only started ordaining women in 1977, Honaker was one of the first few ordained Episcopalian priests in the United States. She was, in fact, the first woman to be ordained from her seminary, and the first ordained woman called to serve as the rector of a church in the Diocese of Pittsburgh. She recalls, “My bishop was so proud of me, he wanted me to be on every committee he could think of. I fell into it. I wanted to be a good woman priest. I wanted to make women proud. I got burned out, and I got depressed, and I couldn’t function. So I went home to North Carolina, and some friends really brought me out of that—brought me home to North Carolina and helped me to recover.” While reflecting on whether or not to return to the church, Honaker accepted another nursing position and after taking a refresher course in nursing at the University of North Carolina, she worked with oncology patients.

Man seeks payment for door after police break-in By Pam Robinson The Mount Vernon City Council approved on first reading an ordinance of additional appropriations in the amount of $85,000 to pave Grant Street. City Attorney Beth McFadin-Higgins explained before the vote at the Monday, August 23, meeting that the street department had a cash balance this year in the Motor Vehicle Highway Fund II and would like to use the money for the paving. In addition, council approved on first reading the ordinance of appropriations and tax rates for the year ending Dec. 31, 2011. This ordinance
along with the ordinance resulting in the paving of Grant Street will now be published and followed by a public hearing during the regular council meeting on Monday, September 13. When the council met as the Water Utility Board, City Water Superintendent Chuck Gray reported good news as well. He said the water plant had received a good inspection report from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, or IDEM. Furthermore, he said IDEM had accepted the city’s temporary plan for sludge treatment. City Attorney Higgins verified the sludge treatment contract would receive Mayor
Tucker’s signature after the meeting. In other business: •David Wiginton of 530 W. Second St. addressed Council to request payment of $3,500 in damages resulting from the city police breaking in his front door early this year after someone reportedly called 911 and gave the wrong address—Wiginton’s address. Attorney Higgins reported to council that the city insurance carrier had denied Wiginton’s claim, citing municipal immunity. Wiginton refuses to file with the pro-

New Harmony to revisit responder home grant By Pam Robinson The New Harmony Town Council announced its plan Thursday night to reapply for a halfmillion dollar federal grant that will provide the funds for building a new combination fire house and ambulance station on town property at the old fairgrounds east of New Harmonie Healthcare Center on Highway 66. Although the grant requires no matching funds, the Town of New Harmony would match an estimated $133,200 to cover total project costs in excess of the anticipated grant award. The application deadline for the Office of Community and Rural Affairs grant is Friday, October 22, 2010. A public hearing has been scheduled for Thursday, September 16, at 6 p.m., before the regular meeting of the town council at 7 p.m. Public input is needed regarding the grant application, and town residents are strongly encouraged to participate in the public hearing. Council moved forward also with Ordinance 2010-9 at the Thursday, August 19, meeting to annex 12 acres located between New Harmonie
Healthcare and the proposed site of the new fire house and ambulance station. Once this property owned by New Harmony Enterprises LLC is annexed, council will then proceed with the process to annex the property it already owns at the old fairgrounds. In other business: •Town residents are reminded that the street department is responsible only for picking up yard debris contained in bags, not barrels, and are asked to be conservative in the amount of yard debris set out for pick up. In addition, residents must still bag their leaves for pick up. Another spraying for mosquitoes was done on Thursday evening, August 19. •Residents were asked to report a street tree issue (decay or trimming or removing) on the Tree Management Report available at New Harmony Town Hall or the Parks Board. •Town Marshall Scott Champlin announced that all the burglaries at Chris’ Pharmacy had been solved through the cooperation of state and local law enforcement agencies: the Indi-

to escape. The suspect followed and began striking her with the stock of the weapon, according to the affidavit. She said the man fled when she begged for her life. Lisa Kershaw was treated by Posey County EMS at the scene for minor injuries. Kershaw made his plea without agreeing to a sentence, and his sentencing date is set for Oct. 5 at 1:30 p.m. in Clark County Superior Court. “The victim’s family is relieved to not have to go to trial,” said Uebelhack. “We were able to secure verdicts of guilty on both victims, which I think is a positive outcome for the state.”

ana State Police, the Evansville-Vanderburgh County Drug Task Force, the Posey County Sherriff’s Department, the Mount Vernon Police Department, the Poseyville Police Department, the Haubstadt Police Department and the New Harmony Police Department. Champlin said the work of law enforcement directly resulted in four arrests and subsequently three additional arrests. •County Recorder Martha Breeze appeared to report the work of her office to help county residents protect themselves from property fraud. The free Property Fraud Alert, or PFA, service notifies subscribers through email or phone contact each time a document is recorded with their name on it in the recorder’s office. The subscriber must select one method of notification, either an email address or a phone number. Breeze said that several hundred county residents had signed up for the service so far.

Attorney Higgins advised the matter was an issue to take up with the Board of Public Works and Safety in any case. Wiginton says he will protest at upcoming city events if the city denies his request for payment. •Mayor John Tucker announced that the first phase of riverfront development is complete, coming in ahead of time and under budget.

“It was the best thing that ever happened to me,” she comments. “The people I took care of who were dying really taught me how to live. It healed a part of me that needed to be healed.” Gradually, Honaker started helping with Sunday services at a church in Fayetteville, North Carolina, until the parish asked her to become their associate rector. She remained there 8 years until she was asked to interview as a Canon at the Cathedral church in Albuquerque, New Mexico. God drew her to Albuquerque as a way to deal with her grief from losing both parents and one of her two older brothers in the span of a year. After a year and a half in Albuquerque, the Dean of the Cathedral moved, and those under him were expected to move on also to accommodate the new Dean’s selection of his own staff. Honaker was praying about a church in Eastern North Carolina when she received a call from New Harmony. Right after the call, St. Stephen’s parishioners Bish Mumford and Carol Siegel traveled to Albuquerque to meet with Honaker, who, in turn, traveled to New Harmony not long afterward to meet with the search committee. “He was convincing—I will say that about Bish,” she says. “’You need to come here,’ he said.” Once she arrived, she admits, “I knew this is where God wanted me to be in the way that you know inside yourself. I went ahead and in-
terviewed in North Carolina, but I knew that was not where I was supposed to be.” Home to the first organized religion in New Harmony, St. Stephen’s parish is 170 years old. Honaker says she has been blessed by the small church made up of about 40 families. “It’s really been God’s grace. I’m a better person for having been here,” she says. “This is one of the most gifted parishes around,” she adds. “I don’t think anybody possibly could get how much ministry comes out of this church. It is truly gifted.” Honaker has spent eight years at St. Stephen’s and 26 years total in ministry. A reception to honor her retirement will be held on Sunday, September 12, 2010, at the Ribeyre Gym Annex from 2-4 p.m. Bishop Cate Waynick from the Diocese of Indianapolis will be here to participate in the celebration. Honaker plans to settle in the mountains of Sparta, North Carolina, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Accompanying her is her loyal 13year-old Golden Retriever, Katie Scarlett O’Hara, who has charmed countless patients in hospitals and nursing homes before her own retirement as a pet therapy dog. Pumpkin the cat, longtime companion of Katie Scarlett, will be moving to the mountains as well. Writing, especially poetry, along with visiting family and friends will keep Honaker happy in retirement.

Sermon of the Week: Why does such an Extraordinary God care about us? Rev. Doris Beckerman, Poseyville Christian Church, Disciples of Christ In Bible School this year, we learned a lot about God. Our theme song was, “Wild and Wonderful God”. This song teaches that God is “wild & untamable!” The song goes on: This same “Wild & Wonderful God” is our “Strong Deliverer & wonderful Savior…a God of mystery & discovery. This song says, “My God is WILD!…BIG!…AMAZING!…LOVING!” In another song, we learned that “The Battle Is the Lord’s.” The song goes: “He is here with you every day. Don’t lose hope—the battle is the Lord’s!” God is our “Mighty Warrior!”

“Our God is undefeatable, undefeatable…Don’t lose hope— the battle is the Lord’s” So why would such an extraordinary God care about little ol’ US?!? We can find some answers in the Bible. Psalm 8 tells why such an extraordinary God cares about US. Psalm 8 is a prayer to God. Just like every good prayer, it starts out by praising God. Every time WE talk to God we should begin the same way, praising God & thanking God for what’s going right in our lives. Right at the beginning, Psalm 8 sings praises for God’s majesty and glory, especially in creation. The Psalm refers to some of the most majestic of ALL God’s creation—“the heavens”… the moon and the stars”. Then, v. 4, asks God a very deep theological question: “What are human beings that you are mindful of them, that you care for them?” In other words, “Why do you, such an extraordinary & powerful God, care one whit about us humans?!?” We all wonder that same thing at times. In our VBS song, “The Power of God”, we learned that, “In a time of trouble, in a time of need when it seems that you’re not headin’ where you oughta be, there is just one answer—That’s the power of God! NOTHING can beat the power of God.” It’s times like that—times of trouble or need, times when life doesn’t seem to be going right when we doubt whether God cares about us at all. We can look at some of the names printed in our Prayer Joys & Concerns to see examples. Here is a 14-yr-old who called her grandmother after having surgery for scoliosis, and told her grandmother she was fine. Now only a person of very strong faith could be that positive after having a metal rod inserted by her spine to straighten it. That rod will hold her upper body absolutely rigid, from her neck down, for the next several months. As she enters high school this month, how is that strictly rigid look going to affect her social life? Here’s another. How can this man be praising God? Last year, he had a neck surgery where his arm had to be placed in an awkward position through-
out the surgery. Due to nerve damage incurred in his shoulder during that surgery, he has been in excruciating pain ever since. I pray that man still believes that God cares about him. What about this 9-month-old baby for whom we prayed earlier? His kind of brain cancer usually is fatal. If his parents didn’t believe in God’s power to heal, they wouldn’t be praying for a miracle, they’d be planning his funeral instead. If you are at a place in life where you are wondering why on earth such an extraordinary God could possibly care about you, the Bible can help answer your question in other ways. Genesis, Chapter 1, says that God created human beings in HIS image—in other words God created us to resemble him, to be like him. If God created us to be LIKE HIM, he must think we’re pretty special. Of course, we don’t LOOK like God on the outside, because God is spirit. But on the INSIDE, SPIRITUALLY, God intends for us to resemble him. After all, God is our Father, so our family resemblance is supposed to show. Just a bit farther in Genesis, Chapter1, God says that human beings are to “rule over” everything God has created. Another way to translate “rule over” is to say “be responsible for” or “to take care of”. Wow! We must be pretty important if God has made us responsible for taking care of everyone & everything he has created. God didn’t give that responsibility to anything else he created—not to aardvarks…..or…..elephants. No! He gave it to us. Farther down in Psalm 8, we find another answer to Why such an extraordinary God Cares about us. Beginning in v. 5, the psalmist reminds us that God made human beings, very special! That God created us, only “a little lower than the ANGELS”, AND that God “crowned us with glory & honor!“. That is the God who “is here with you every day.” “Do not fear, do not run away…Don’t lose hope—the battle is the Lord’s!…”

Gamma Psi to hold upcoming events Mount Vernon’s Gamma Psi chapter of Kappa, Kappa, Kappa, Inc. recently met to begin their new calendar year.

WMI News There’s Gold in Them There Hills! The following article is taken from an account written by New Harmony native, geologist and member of the Working Men’s Institute, E.T. Cox. It was sent to Louis Pelham in 1894 and is part of the Pelham Collection in the Branigin Archive. It is exciting as are all stories of hidden treasures. But more importantly, it reminds us that this beautiful spot on the Wabash we call home, and our country in general, were experienced quiet differently by the first Europeans brave enough to make their way west. Mr. Cox called his story “Hidden Treasure: Lost is lost, gone is gone forever.” The following is taken from his manuscript. To read the story in it’s entirety visit us at www.workingmensinstitute. org and click on library blog. In the 1820s, Mr. Jacob Wilkins stopped at an auction in Knox County. There he purchased a box of old books. Among the books was the journal of a Capt. Congreve from which our story is taken. In the late 1700s almost the entire mid-section of the United States belonged to France. From the Gulf of Mexico on well past the Great Lakes and on further north to the Atlantic in what is now Canada, New France covered thousands of miles of virgin forests, uncharted rivers, was home to a wide variety of animals and a number of native people. The French more or less

By Sherri Graves (mostly less) governed this land by means of a system of forts on major waterways making rivers the super highways of 18th century America. In the spring of 1755, work came to Fort Duguesne (now Pittsburgh) that the English in Virginia were coming to take the fort. A large sum of gold and silver was being held at the fort. To make sure that it did not fall into British hands, a plan was hatched to take the treasure to the frontier fort at Vincennes. A large canoe outfitted with two secret compartments for the treasure (only the captain knew what they were carrying) and supplies for 9 men was assembled. Four men manned the oars, four men were soldiers, and Captain Congreve made nine. They began their journey down the Ohio rowing by Indian villages and breathtaking scenery. Near the falls of the Ohio at what is now Louisville, they were attacked by a large number of Indians. Fortunately, the firing of the cannon mounted on the canoe into the trees was enough to turn the Indians around. Still they faced the treacherous falls. With skill and luck, they made it passed the falls and traveled peacefully along the Ohio to the mouth of the Wabash. At this point they would leave the Ohio and travel up the Wabash to Vincennes. Once on the Wabash their real trials began. The water in the Wabash was so low they were compelled to stay
close to the bank. Shortly they came to “Bone Bank” a well-known landmark to Indians and Frenchmen alike. Bone Bank (located in what is now Point Township has been completely eroded away by the river) was named for the large number of human bones exposed during low water. It was here the horrified captain saw four of his men cut down by arrows. In the ensuing skirmish, eight Indians were killed before the remaining fled into the woods. After burying their dead, they moved on sleeping the next night on a well-wooded island. The next day they pushed on, but were soon confronted with strong current formed by a chain of rocks that stretched almost entirely across the river. There was a break in the chain through which the water poured. The only way to make it safely through was to rig a windless, and by means of a rope wind carefully and slowly through the rocks. But the next day brought more tragedy when the Frenchmen were ambushed by Indians at the mouth of a small creek. One man was killed instantly and two were wounded. This left only two able-bodied men, Captain Congreve and the helmsman, Baptiste. With five men dead and two men wounded, Captain Congreve was still faced with a difficult journey. Vincennes was till over forty dangerous miles away. Does he make it? Next week: Vincennes or Bust.
Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra grows in subscription ticket sales After announcing a new business model and philosophy in April, the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra reaches a major milestone: successfully attaining growth in its number of season ticket subscribers. “We are extremely pleased to announce growth in our subscription base and the reverse of a downward trend which began eleven years ago. Our goal is to make the orchestra as accessible as possible and measure our success by touching more lives through music,” says Glenn Roberts, executive director of the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra. This time last year the Philharmonic had 1,877 season ticket subscribers. The Philharmonic ended the 2009-2010 season with 2,254 subscribers. As of Thursday, August 26, 2010, the orchestra has 2,258 subscribers for the 2010-2011 season and will continue to take season ticket orders through December. In April the Philharmonic announced its ambition to become more accessible to
the Tri-State community. The Philharmonic recognized one of the barriers preventing people from experiencing the orchestra is cost and unveiled a plan to break down that barrier. As part of its new philosophy, this season the Philharmonic’s theme is “Out of This World Music… Down-To-Earth Prices”. Last season, only 8% of the hall was priced at less than $25 per seat. This season, 70% of the hall will be $25 or less for full series subscribers. The Philharmonic also lowered ticket prices across the board, including tickets for premium seats in the balcony. There are no additional facility fees, service fees, or premium prices for full series subscribers. The Philharmonic also offers a money-back guarantee for new subscribers and 50% discount on Grand and Classics series subscriptions for full-time students and children. “It’s all about providing a high-quality product at a low, affordable price and people are responding,” says Carrie Marrett, director of market-
ing for the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra. Sixty percent of the Philharmonic’s current subscribers are seated in the sections priced $25 or less per concert. With lower prices, the overall ticket revenue is down $11,304 compared to this time last year. Philharmonic leaders expected this and planned to make up the difference through individual and corporate donations. Roberts adds, “In these difficult economic times many orchestras across the country are struggling with declining audiences and at the same time trying to make a compelling case for support to secure donations. By lowering prices our objective is simple: to sell more tickets and thus make a make a strong case for support built on a growing audience.” The support is evident by looking at the orchestra’s Philharmonic Fund, an annual campaign used to cover operating costs. The Philharmonic Fund is up $20,948 compared to this time last year. “It’s proof positive we’re doing
the right thing. It feels good to see the community really take ownership and embrace its orchestra,” adds Marrett. The Philharmonic’s 20102011 “Out of This World” season begins with its Opening Night concert entitled “Red, White & Blue Jeans” on Saturday, September 11 at 8:00 p.m. at the Victory Theatre. The program is a tribute to American music and features Grammy-awarding winning violinist and composer Mark O’Connor. The line-up includes Charles Ives’ Variations on “America”, Aaron Copland’s “Appalachian Spring”, O’Connor’s Double
Violin Concerto, and George Gershwin’s “An American in Paris”. “Red, White & Blue Jeans” is sponsored by Atlas Van Lines. Season and single tickets are on sale now. Season tickets may be purchased
by calling the Philharmonic Box Office at (812) 425 – 5050. Single tickets to all Philharmonic events may be purchased by calling the Box Office or ordering online at www.evansvillephilharmonic.org.

Starting Monday, August 30 Grayville, Illinois will officially go on-air with its first (and so far-only) radio show. This two hour program available via the Internet will be brought to you by the same people who bring you The Wanderer magazine. The focus will be on local people and local happenings, some regional and occasional celebrity guests, names that will be well known across the country as this show will be available worldwide to anyone with an Internet connection. Hosting the show will be Wanderer Publisher/Editor Denny Reese, himself no newcomer to the world of radio. He has been helping friend Eddie Allen with his "Cuzin Eddie Allen Show" broadcasts out of McLeansboro, Illinois, WMCL 1060AM for these past eight years.
"Everything leading up to this is a tip of the hat to Eddie," Reese said. "He has been an inspiration and offered a sounding board for ideas. To think, when we both started we didn't know much at all. And after all of these years, we still don't." Friends and fans of Wanderer Co-Editor and resident "angel" Bowie Buffinger Webb Hannah will delight in listening to her stories of over ninety years of life from days on the Dixon Springs Experimental Station to being a University wife, two years in India, legal secretary and spanning the globe birdwatching and taking breathtaking photographs. She now spends her time reminiscing and discovering why we are the way we are and ways for us to keep healthy. She will run regular segments on wandermag on-air. That is the name of this ex-
United Way Pacesetters lead campaign This year, the New Harmony School Corporation is one of the Pacesetters for the United Way campaign. They will run their United Way campaign early and results are announced at the United Way of Posey County campaign kick-off on September 16th to get this year’s campaign off to a good start. New Harmony School is the heart of a historic community whose roots go deep into the past of progressive education in America. A Utopian community founded here in 1824 attracted innovative intellectuals who believed that education should be available free to all social classes. New Harmony, a frontier community along the banks of the Wabash, was the site of one of the first kindergartens, vocational schools, women's discussion groups, US Geological surveys and public lending libraries in our country. With this rich historical heritage, the K-12 school is a focal point of the community. The present building located at 1000 East Street has been in use since 1987. The first graduating class was in 1879. Because the school is situated adjacent to Murphy Park, teachers use the park as an outdoor education classroom, exercise facility or for recreational fun on the Playtopia Playground. New Harmony is a small public school that provides a public education where students can get individual attention usually associated with private schools. The entire New Harmony High School travels to Washington, D.C. every four years to attend the inauguration of the United States president. Plans are underway for the 2013 trip. This trip is provided free of charge to the students. New Harmony School is home to children of all ages, preschool through seniors in high school. This creates a sense of family among students and staff as everyone learns to care for each other and teachers watch out for students of all ages. In the elementary wing, there is one classroom per grade, a library, and a computer lab. The Junior High/High School wing includes classrooms, a computer lab, science lab, and library. Shared facilities in a commons area include the art and music rooms, cafeteria, distance education lab with teleconference equipment, and gymnasium. New Harmony High School was one of the first schools in Indiana that provided laptops for all the students. High school students can earn college credit through Ball State, Indiana University, Ivy Tech, and University of Southern Indiana. The graduation rate is often 100%. A full athletic program offers baseball, basketball, soccer, volleyball, softball, cheerleading, and golf. Academic competitions also provide students with challenges. Students can participate in the local spelling bee, National Geographic Society geography bee, Young Authors Conference book writing, Math-athon, and Academic Bowl Competition. Older students
enjoy ISSMA Music Competitions, an annual mock trial, and the Envirothon Team which has been very successful at the state level. These programs are open to all students and all students are encouraged to be involved in school activities to insure a well-rounded education. Spanish is offered in junior high school as well as in the high school. New Harmony has a progressive curriculum that focuses on meeting each child’s need through individualized instruction and the use of technology. Each staff member knows and works hard for every child in the school. One of those staff members, Lois Gray, was named the National Rural Teacher of the Year for 2008. The New Harmony School is offering a FREE afternoon enrichment program for the 4-year olds and kindergarten students as well as a FREE afterschool enrichment program for students in grades K through 6th grades. The corporation is firmly committed to providing early childhood education and well as enrich-
ment activities as means to help insure student success. New Harmony School is committed to producing contributing citizens. All students are encouraged to be part of an acclaimed extracurricular work-- Ribeyre Gymnasium Restoration Group. Students have adopted the project of restoring the historic Ribeyre Gym. The students had secured $500,000 to get renovation started and continue to work to raise funds for further improvements. The gym can now be utilized as a community center servicing the residents of the town of New Harmony. The staff of New Harmony School is dedicated to continuing the fine educational tradition started by the early settlers of the New Harmony area. This year’s campaign goal is $620,000. Funds raised in the United Way campaign will go to support 21 local agencies and more than 75 programs that provide services to the people of Posey County including Albion Fellows Bacon Cen-
ter, American Red Cross – Posey County Chapter, Buffalo Trace Council – Boy Scouts of America, Catholic Charities, Children’s Learning Center of Posey County, Christian Church Day Care Center, Community Emergency Assistance, ECHO Community Health Care, Family Matters, Homeless Shelter of Mt. Vernon, Indiana Legal Services, Lampion Center, Mental Health America, New Harmony Ministry Association, Posey County Council on Aging, Posey County Rehabilitation Services, The Rehabilitation Center, The Salvation Army, Visiting Nurse Association of Southwestern Indiana, WNIN Radio Reading Program, and Willow Tree of Posey County. Funds also support 2-1-1, the easy to remember number for assistance and referral, and the new prescription drug discount program. For more information about services provided through the United Way of Posey County or volunteer opportunities available, call 838-3637 or email uwposey@sbcglobal.net.

perimental venture, wandermag on-air. The format is interviews and musical selections and looking back at the recent and not so recent past. "It's made possible by the people at Blogtalk radio," Reese added. "Through their services, almost anyone who's foolhardy enough can host their own Internet radio show, and I guess it's our turn." To find this show should not be so difficult. Simply go to Blogtalk Radio on Monday night, click on the On Air graphic and then a selection of shows playing that evening will appear. Click onto the wandermag on-air logo and you can listen to the show from 7-9PM. Local businesses will also be airing ads during the duration of this show. Guests for the first show on the 30th include Mayor Joe Bisch and Rick and Sandy Davis of the Grayville Days Committee. Upcoming ce-
lebrity guests that might be of interest to many are Dr. David Stanley, stepbrother to the late Elvis Presley, Alison Arngrim who played Nellie Olsen on the "Little House on the Prairie" series and comic actor Fred Willard. "We are trying to build a complex and diverse group of guests, locally and nationally known and hope all of you will forgive us as we "flub" our way through these initial episodes, finding our wings, so to speak," Reese said. "Our main goal is to be entertaining, and if we can't do that, we might as well hang up our microphones." For now, the show will be pre-recorded, but that is not to say that at some future date, wandermag on-air could not go Live. "We have the capabilities," Reese points out. "But for the time being we need to focus on getting some shows put together and see how it all goes."

OPINION
Integrity on both ends is key to ‘good’ car deal As most of you probably know by now, my second job is selling vehicles in Henderson. Between the two jobs and the hot weather, it has taken a little out of me over the past TRUTH... few weeks. On Saturday, I STRANGER had a particularly bad day THAN and at the end of the day, I FICTION was inside talking with some BY DAVE of my friends and one of PEARCE them came up with a concept that I believe will work. When I first became involved with the automobile business, I worked in the office next door to one of the most experienced automobile salespeople in the area. I still consider Jerry Schmitt a good friend and an excellent salesperson. He does a lot of things right. He follows up with his customers and tries to make sure things go well during and after the sale. Jerry once had a saying that I have always remembered. With tongue in cheek, he always told me, “Well, when all else fails, you always have your reputation (as a used care salesman) to fall back on.” It always drew a needed smile. You know and I know that the car sales profession has not always been an honorable profession. As a matter of fact, some people have even put my friends and I in the same class with attorneys (and numerous other stereotyped professions). But as people like Jerry and myself will prove to you, you can make a living in the automobile business without being deceitful or dishonest. While the people of Posey County have a variety of stores from which to choose to buy their automobiles, most individuals and automobile dealerships are just like other people. They are trying to make a living in a very competitive but Capitalistic society. “Not for Profit” auto dealerships have a way of disappearing. With the information out there on the Internet now, most customers have more of an idea what the dealer pays for the car than the salesman who is selling it. Information regarding the value of your trade-in is also readily available. I have never had any cause to become involved in the Better Business Bureau but I do
know it is out there and I do know what it is. It is a service paid for by consumers and businesses alike so there is an agency to launch a complaint if they get lousy service or if someone is out there trying to do illegal things in an effort to make money. As we salesmen discussed on Saturday, have you ever wondered what would happen if retailers got together and formed a “Better Customer Bureau?” Businesses would have the option of putting your name on the list when you came in and misrepresented your trade-in or lied about how much the last guy down the road told you he would allow you on trade-in. Oh, I’m sure no one reading this has ever done that but believe it or not, there are people out there who will lie to you about all kinds of things… including their vehicles. First of all, do you go to the grocery store to just “look around?” No, you know that at the grocery store, they sell groceries. And if you weren’t somewhat interested in groceries, you probably would not be there. And while I will admit that there are some automobile dealerships who do pressure you, not all dealerships do. If you drive onto the lot during normal business hours, expect one of the salesmen to offer to help you. After all, that is their job. The business owner expects his people to wait on customers. If they don’t wait on customers, they won’t have a job very long. One, the owner will tell them they aren’t doing their job and to find another one. Or two, they won’t make any money and will have to get out. It has been very hot lately. Believe it or not, not everyone who shows up on a car lot has the means or the credit to buy a car. But being an optimist is part of a good salesperson’s job. So you leave the building to try and serve the customer believing that they are looking for something and it is your job to try and help them find it and answer any questions they may have regarding the merchandise. Usually, you feel good about matching a customer with a needed vehicle at a fair price. There are some people who don’t understand this concept. Do you ever go into any of
the big department stores looking for something specific and look for someone to help you find it? It seems like the clerks have radar and if they know that if you are looking to ask them a question, they are in high gear headed to another department or to lunch break. It’s not always that way but sometimes that is how it seems. We have an expansive lot at the dealership where I work. And it seems that many people tend to get just as far away from the building as they can and then stop to get out of their car to look at one of ours. It was particularly noticeable on Saturday as several of us made several trips to the far corner of the lot only to have the individual jump back in the car and hit the gas just a few steps before you could get there. Hey, people, it is 100 degrees. If a salesperson takes the time and makes the effort to walk out to you, how hard is it to say nicely, “Thank you but I really an not interested in that vehicle.” If you can’t do that, you should be reported to the “Better Customer Bureau” and when you arrive at the next dealership, that dealer should be able to pull your name up on the computer and see how many complaints of “Bad Customers” have been reported on you within the past 90 days. Most of the time, this is the same person who, if you don’t make an effort to get there, will go to the next dealership and tell how they got out to look and no one would come out to help them. Saturday must have been “Rude People and Liar’s Day Out.” Several times on Saturday people came in and drove our vehicle, taking our valuable time and valuable vehicles and came back presumably interested. I think we heard most of the common excuses on Saturday… “I’m going to go home to get my tradein and I will be back in an hour.” Or, “My wife/husband will want to see this so I will go get them and we’ll be back in a few minutes.” “I have somewhere to be in 15 minutes but we can be back by 4.” The most common one is the one that husbands and wives generally agree on before they come into the business, “We have to pick up the kids in an hour.” Once we have the name or the license plate numbers of these people who are not telling
the truth, we should be able to report them to this newly formed “Bureau.” Just a word for the wise, the next time you get ready to look for a vehicle, just tell the truth and everyone will be much happier. You expect the salesman to tell you the truth. I can guarantee that salesmen tell less lies than the customers they serve. Every automobile dealer uses the same Internet to check the value of your vehicle. New cars of the same brand all come from the same plants with the same pricing so don’t expect your salesman to be so naïve as to believe “I saw the exact same vehicle at Lot X for $3,000 less.” And, with the automobile reporting agencies available, if your car has been wrecked, you might as well tell your salesperson. It doesn’t take a good car person but about 15 seconds to tell if your vehicle has had paintwork. All they have to do is look at it. And, believe it or not, while automobile dealers are competitive, they are finding more and more that if they work somewhat together, they can have a good working relationship and often, the manager you talk with has a good friend at the store that offered you so much more for your trade-in. One quick phone call will clear up any confusion. Lying about your trade-in value is just one more way to get on the list at the “Better Customer Bureau.” And when you are doing your research on your vehicle, be realistic. If your car has been involved in a wreck, has 2,500 miles left on the tires, and the air conditioning doesn’t work, don’t check “excellent” condition for trade-in value. Someone has to pay to get that car into shape to sell. And when someone comes in to buy it, they are going to want to know the history and will want a guarantee that it will be a dependable source of transportation. It is getting tougher and tougher to make ends meet in any business venture but that is no reason for a business to lose its integrity. Once it is gone, it is hard to restore it. And once you have lost your integrity as a customer or a human being, that too, is hard to restore, not only to dealerships but also to yourself. To thine own self be true? You decide.
We have enjoyed the ride but it’s time to hand over the reins
Gavel Gamut’s Newspaper editor Albert A. Sparks practiced the mantra of journalism, the five W’s: who, what, where, when and why. On the front page of the October 12, 1882 Mt. Vernon Democrat, in large bold type he set forth what we of the PowerPoint Age would call bullet points: HUME REDMAN MURDERS HIS WIFE. Great Excitement in the City on Saturday Night. An Attempt to Lynch the Murderer. Removed to Evansville for Safety, But Mobbed in that City on Tuesday Night. His Skull Crushed with A Sledge Hammer. David Murphy, One of the Lynchers, Killed. And, at the end of this attention grabbing introduction, just as television now preys on our worst instincts, the “teaser”: Full Particulars of the Horrible Affair. Then he followed these statements with a lead paragraph that would warm the hearts of the folks who give us such shows as Judge Judy and Jerry Springer:
“Fair and Balanced”
“One of the most atrocious murders on record was committed on last Friday night, about three miles northwest of this city, near Gill’s School
GAVEL GAMUT BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE House, the particulars of which are about as follows:” My favorite word in that statement is “about”. I doubt if Editor Sparks intended the irony in that qualifier, but it is a subtle warning to readers to be skeptical. Perhaps the Sunday Morning “news” shows and nightly broadcasts designed to sell both points of view and products should contain such cautions.But this is a column about the events of 1882 not about contemporary misinformation. Therefore, let me get on with the accounts of the murder of poor Eva Redman, the arrest and mob justice murder of Hume Redman and the shooting death of one of the lynch mob, David Murphy. Of course, when we talk of
lynching we normally mean an illegal hanging. But with Hume Redman, the group of about sixty-five night riders broke into the Vanderburgh County jail and crushed his skull with the sledge hammer they used to break in. Of course, the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment would not condone such “justice”. However, when you read the reports of what Hume Redman did to his pregnant wife, you can understand the views of both the lynch mob and Editor Sparks: “Her body was a mass of bruises from head to foot. On her neck was a figure ‘4’ evidently cut with the point of a pen knife. Marks of his strong teeth were all over her arms and breast and on her abdomen and breast were the prints of his boot toes, where he had kicked her. Beaten like a dog, and worse, whenever it suited his cruel heart, she lived in constant fear that he would take her life, and dared not tell of his fiendishness.” Well, that’s about it for now.

For over a decade now, my husband Jim and I have made the annual trip to Holiday World with our daughter Jessica. She and her dad have always enjoyed thrill FOR THE seeking together. She could RECORD count on him to strap in next to her on the big rides while BY PAM I, the fainthearted, waved ROBINSON and waited below. Her dad first taught her to hold her arms high as they swished past on the Howler. They dropped their arms to their sides only once they exited when they advanced to the Legend, the Raven and the Voyage roller coasters. They have been fearless and the photo finish always proves it. A couple of weekends ago, our family returned to Holiday World for our summer day trip. Jessica was happy to ride the speeding roller coasters with her niece Lizzie (10) and nephew Zack (13) during the morning. Likewise, in the afternoon, she was content to cool off with them in the water park. When Zack and Lizzie headed back to their Indianapolis home with their parents shortly afterward, however, Jessica turned to her dad for companionship. She wanted him to navigate the Voyage with her before we ended the day. Already, Jim had taken the Pilgrim’s Plunge with the group, big kids and grandkids alike. The nose-dive foreshadowed what was to come on the Voyage. For the first time ever, Jim complained about a
roller coaster adventure. It had clearly taken him by surprise. He’s always loved the stomach-rolling fall from a great height. This time, though, the force of the fall shook his back much more than his stomach. He still walked away, courage (and ego) intact, ready to face the Voyage with Jessica. As I watched the roller coaster climb to its highest peak, I noticed Jessica looked almost as tall as her dad sitting beside her. I remembered when he towered over her in the Howler, ready to wrap his strong arms around her and let her bury her head in his side if the ride rattled her. I caught my breath as I watched the Voyage race down the first peak, buried in the arms of the towering trees soon afterward. I ran quickly to the photo booth so I could see immediately the triumphant finish of the Voyage and raise my hands in a high-five to father and daughter when they returned to flat ground. Jim looked small as he gripped the rail in front of him while Jessica shot up toward the sky, arms lifted straight above her. I smiled weakly at the two of them when they joined me. As he squinted at the photo, Jim said to Jessica, “I was the only man my age on there. We’ve had some good rides, but we’ve made our last voyage together. From now on, you must travel with your friends.” Jessica held her dad’s hand, realizing they had both reached a milestone.
Letters to the Editor I want to publicly thank our community for the help we received Saturday night when the underground electric blew again, for the second Saturday in a row, during a wedding/reception at the Granary. Thank you to Golden Rose for supplying us with many more candles so the wedding guests could see to eat by candlelight. Thank you to Rhonda Beuligmann for bringing us the candles and staying to help setup the Ribeyre Gym, hauling the drinks over to the gym and helping clean the tables at the Granary in the dark along with Jodi Moore, Wendy Wilson and Brenda Butman. Thank you to the Ribeyre Gymnasium Board for opening the Gymnasium, even though it is still under renovation. Thank you to Brenda Butman for helping get it ready and Rick Johnson for rolling out the sound system

so the DJ could plug his lap top in and have the music for dancing. Yes, it was pretty warm in the gym, but the AC was on in the Annex allowing for some relief from the humidity. The wedding party thanked us for moving them to the gym, they said if they had been anywhere else there would not have been a reception.
Thank you, Ribeyre Gymnasium Group, for the time and hard work you have put into making the gym and annex a facility that the community can use, and for opening your doors so we didn’t have to cancel the wedding reception. Chris Laughbaum & Jeff Koester, Rapp-Owen Granary Managers

Wildcats, Stemple find all the seams in Viking defense some things while watching film of the North Posey defense that enabled them to go underneath the Vikings and spring open some big gains. “We played the same defense as they do,” Maier explained. “And we know that there are some things that gives us fits and we tried to exploit them tonight.” Mount Vernon showed some versatility on offense when necessary, mounting a major scoring drive late in the second quarter to go up 21-14 on a two-yard toss from Stemple to Tim Davis. The Wildcats benefitted from a pass interference call on fourth and goal with under a minute left in the half to score. They then opened the third quarter with a drive that soaked up six minutes worth of clock and ended with Stemple’s nine-yard toss to Will Terbeck. Terbeck grabbed six passes for 73 yards and two touch-
By Steve Joos Bragging rights were on the line Friday night at the North Posey football field and there was one big reason in particular why the Mount Vernon Wildcats came away bragging. Jason Stemple. The senior quarterback completed 25 of 32 passes for 315 yards and five touchdowns as the Cats took over right before halftime and went from there to post a 4829 victory. “Not too shabby,” Wildcats’ coach Paul Maier said. “I think he’s going to be a pretty good quarterback someday. They blitzed us a ton and we checked it down to a backfield. He did everything we did in practice all week, we hit our hot reads and it was a good night for Jason.” Stemple audibled well and made numerous check-offs, Maier said, adding that the Wildcat coaches had seen

downs Friday, as five different Cats caught passes. Davis hauled in four for 35 yards and a score, while adding a teamhigh 99 yards rushing for another TD (Stemple gained 51 yards with a score). Vikings’ coach Joe Gengelbach thought his team played well—on one side of the ball. “We had a lot of problems defensively,” Gengelbach said. “We didn’t cover, we blew a lot of assignments. We feel that on one side of the ball, we’re playing better, but on the other side of the ball, it’s like we haven’t even seen a ball go in.” Gengelbach was surprised that many of the defensive players are back from last season’s team and they need to get focused on their assignments defensively. North Posey signal-caller Colton Motz had a respectable night—213 yards passing and two touchdowns— but the Viking defense was riddled for 464 yards in total offense as Mount Vernon’s passing game was complemented by 149 yards on the ground. “Stemple’s a good quarterback,” Gengelbach said. “He does a good job of reading the defense, he hit the little quick passes and that’s just the same as a running play. He’s a good quarterback and he did a good job tonight.” The Vikings actually struck first, as Motz moved the team 59 yards in four plays before Wes Harness got away for a 10-yard scoring run. Rylan Gentil’s kick gave North Posey a 7-0 lead with 6:39 left in the opening chapter, the Wildcats came back with a quick strike of their own, as Terbeck hauled in a 20-yard pass from Stemple with 4:19 left on the clock in the period. The first of six Zac Deig extra points knotted things up at 7-7 and that’s how it stayed until Motz connected with Nick
Neidig from eight yards out with just under four minutes gone in the second quarter. Stemple answered back for the Wildcats, this time hitting Aaron Straub from 18 yards out with 4:38 remaining in the first half before Mount Vernon went on its first extended drive, capped by Stemple’s two-yard toss to Davis with 10 seconds left in the quarter. The Deig kick made it 21-14 at halftime. In the third quarter, that same combination of play action passes and short tosses that started in the second quarter and deliberately moved the Cats downfield until connecting with Terbeck at the 6:35 mark or the third quarter. The county rivalry’s back and forth nature continued on the next series, as Motz took just 31 seconds to lead the Vikings downfield, overcoming a touchback into a two-play drive that culminated in a 29-yard scoring strike to Neidig after a 42-yard pass play. Gentil’s kick made it 28-21 Cats, but then Mount Vernon started pulling away. Stemple marched the team 80 yards over the next three minutes and capped things off with a 10-yard run as Mount Vernon took a 35-21 lead into the fourth quarter. Stemple added a 44-yard pass to Blake Marshall for another touchdown with just under six minutes left in the game to put the Cats up 4221. Cameron Calvert closed out the scoring for North Posey on an eight-yard run with 2:22 to go in the contest, with Motz’s two-point conversion pass to Jared Reidford making the score 42-29. The Vikings tried an onsides kick, but Tyler Ritzert recovered it and Davis broke through the defense for a 52-yard run that capped the scoring. After tearing up South Spencer for over 200 yards in the season opener, Harness was limited to 64 yards against Mount Vernon, while
Calvert led the team with 73 yards rushing. Reidford took in six passes for 102 yards to pace the Viking receivers. For the second straight week, the Vikings scored a lot of points. Unfortunately for them, Mount Vernon scored more.
And they had Stemple. Against Tell City, the Wildcats ran the ball more, against North Posey, they went to the air, Maier added. They take what the defense was giving and on Friday night, it was short passing routes.

Vikings claim third straight Invite title, Wildcats are second By Steve Joos It was, for the most part, a good week for the Mount Vernon boys’ tennis team. But on Saturday, it was an even better day for North Posey as they kept their perfect season intact and easily outdistanced the field to claim their third straight Washington Tennis Invitational title. Posey County was well represented at the tournament as North Posey claimed first place in four of the five spots to finish with 54 points. Mount Vernon was second in the 8-team field with 36 points. Evansville Central was third with 27 while Evansville Mater Dei and Washington tied with 17 points apiece. Linton was next with 13 points while Boonville had nine and Washington Catholic had two. Actually, it was a very good week for Mount Vernon, except for Wednesday’s match with the visiting Castle Knights. The Knights topped Mount Vernon 4-1, putting a damper on a stretch where the Wildcats blanked Princeton 5-0 Thursday night on the road and reversed that 4-1 count in a win over Harrison Tuesday in Evansville. The Cats had things pretty much under control in Princeton, as they took all five spots in straight sets. Seth Reeves had some trouble at third singles, but he stopped the Tigers’ Matt Hughes 6-3, 6-3. Layton Hopper and Curt Crabtree also faced a competitive match at second doubles, but still came away with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Justin Simmons and Blade Stevens. At first doubles, Jacob Steinhart and Riley Oberle capped an undefeated week with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Princeton’s Alex Holder and Jerry Scott. The top two singles spots were taken by Jevin Redman, 6-1, 6-1 over Cody Deffendoll at first singles and Ross Canada 6-2, 6-0 over Robbie Merrill at second. Canada stretched Neil Jairath to three sets before losing at second singles 6-2, 3-6, 6-2, and Redman came close at first singles, but fell to Brandon Davies 6-2, 6-4. Castle easily took the other spots, as Robert Cooke won 6-1, 6-0 at third singles and the second doubles combo of Saraub Cauhdry and Alex Gurtcheff posted s similar score in beating Hopper and Crabtree at second doubles. Steinhart and Oberle, the team’s two seniors, were also the lone bright spot when Castle came calling on Wednesday. The first double combo posted a 7-5, 7-6(7-3) win to give Mount Vernon one spot against the Knights by beating Bran-

Viking reserves come up one point short in opener The North Posey reserve football team came back from a 14-0 first quarter deficit, but came up short in the fourth quarter, dropping their season opener 35-34 to visiting South Spencer. Alec Werry threw for five touchdown passes, three of them to Jacob Bender, to lead the Viking comeback, but it wasn’t
enough as Malin Webb scored on an eight-yard run with 1:24 to go in the final chapter and then added the two-point conversion to give the Rebels the win, even though North Posey made them work for it. “I looked into the players’ eyes and they really looked downhearted,� coach Mike Kuhn said about the team’s mood

after falling behind 21-0 with 6:51 left in the second quarter. “I was worried that we would lose our spirit and this game would become a blowout.� Then Werry went to work, connecting with Mitchell Kuhn on a 60-yard pass play with 4:52 left in the second quarter. He then hit Kuhn with another scoring pass, this one on a 32-yard pass and run with 2:04 left on the clock. Chris O’Risky caught a conversion pass after the first touchdown, but was unsuccessful on the second, leaving the Vikings down 21-14, but Werry struck again, this time hitting Bender with a three-yard scoring pass and then adding the conversion pass with 34.8 seconds to go that sent North Posey to the locker room with a 22-21 lead. The offensive fireworks continued in the third quarter. South Spencer scored first, taking advantage of a high snap in Viking territory to get good field position and then score on a 27-yard run by Quinton Taylor with 6:28 to go, but back came Werry, hitting Bender on a fade route for a 76-yard scoring play and a 28-27 lead on the conversion. Werry and Bender combined for another touchdown on a 32-yard pass play for North Posey’s last score of the night. Then came the fourth quarter. South Spencer took advantage of some North Posey miscues to reclaim the lead and one last Werry-to-Bender try was ruled incomplete on fourth down with 30 seconds to go, ending the threat. “Our players were disappointed, but played a great game,� coach Patrick Rose said. “I was pleased that they kept competing and never gave up through a very emotional game.� Bender also had seven tackles for the reserves. Tyler Adkins registered four tackles, while Kuhn had three. Werry, Kyle Rickard and Dylan Wright each had two. Adkins had four assists, while Bender helped out on two tackles. O’Risky and Derek Voegel each had two assists. Bender and Cameron O’Brien each had two deflections, while Werry picked off a pass.
Vikings gain valuable experience Wins will come if hard work, teamwork continue Deana Lindauer with one. The reserve Vikings again had a dominating performance with a win of 25-20, 25-12. “This team has an unlimited upside,� Gentil said. “It seems like we can get two or three of them going at a time but if we can ever get all of them on the same page at the same time, we are going to be extremely hard to beat. Right now, it is just finding the consistency.� The high number of players involved in aces and kills is a good weapon to have, according to Gentil. But with so many people contributing, it is hard for the players to develop the chemistry they need. Gentil said that when each player fills her role, everything will be fine. “Right now we seem to be hesitating and looking instead of taking charge,� Gentil said. “But these girls are smart girls and they work hard and it will come.� While Gentil was somewhat reserved about naming individuals, he did point out that the speed of Megan Redman at libero has proven to be an asset for the team. “Caitlin Herrmann has had some really good nights for us and Wendi Simpson is starting to get her power and timing down,� Gentil continued. “And there are some of the older players that know what it takes and we seem to get a pretty consistent effort out of them every time out.� Against Bosse earlier in the week, the Vikings were dominant winning 25-12, 27-25 and 25-17. Lindauer, Esche, and Reidford had two aces apiece while Redman had six digs and Mason had three. Everley added a pair. Esche finished with 14 assists and Reidfor nine. Simpson finished with 10 kills while Esche had four and Garris three. Simpson had three blocks while Herrmann had two and Durchholz had one. Herrmann also had three block assists while Everley, Esche, and Simpson had two apiece. The reserves again were dominant finishing off the Bulldogs 2521 and 25-12. At Boonville on Saturday, the Lady Vikings actually took the host Pioneers into a third and deciding game that went 25-19 in favor of Boonville. Only one point separated the teams’ total number of points through the first two games, with the teams splitting the first two.

By Dave Pearce If you are in the market for some easy volleyball wins, the Boonville Invitational is not the place to go. However, if you have your sights set on higher goals toward the end of the season, Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament was a great place to get some experience. Despite the fact that the Pioneers lost all three matches on Saturday, North Posey Viking Coach Gary Gentil knows that his young team learned a lot at the Invitational that they can use down the road. During regular-season action prior to Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament, the Vikings took two of three matches, defeating Harrison and Bosse but falling to Vincennes Rivet. Gentil was excited by his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win over Harrison on Thursday evening, following a lackluster performance against Vincennes Rivet the night before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played much better tonight,â&#x20AC;? Gentil said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last night we would play well for two or three points and then we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay well for a stretch. We just never could get anything going. But Vincennes Rivet is a pretty sound team. They are going to beat a lot of teams because they have a couple of good hard hitters and they move really well and cover the floor. We just have to gain some more confidence in ourselves. Against Vincennes Rivet, The Vikings fell 25-26 in the first game before fighting back to win the second game 25-20. But the Vikings could not sustain level of intensity and fell in the final two games 25-22 and 25-14. In that contest, seven different Vikings had service aces. Deana Lindauer, Kately Esche, Jordan Wassmer, Kelsey Everley, Lisa Garris, Kaylee Durchholz, and Megan Redman all served up an ace. Everley finished with a game-high eight digs while Wassmer and Redman had six apiece. Kendall Reidford and Esche split the setting duties with Reidford finishing with 14 assists and Esche 11. In the kill department, Wendi Simpson matcher her number, finishing with nine kills while Esche had six and Durchholz had four. Caitlynn Herrmann had a pair of solo blocks while Esche, Simpson, and Garris each had a solo block. In the reserve match, North Posey won 25-29. 25-25. But against Harrison, the Vikings came out ready to play and never really allowed the Warriors to have an opening. The final scores were 25-27, 25-20, and 25-17. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said this before. I really like this group of girls and we have tremendous potential,â&#x20AC;? Gentil said of his team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just have to continue to work to get there.â&#x20AC;? Against the Warriors, Reidford and Herrmann each had a pair of aces and Esche added one. In the dig department, Everley was everywhere, finishing with 14 digs. Redman and Jessica Mason each had four. Again, it was the Reidford-Esche show in assists with Esche setting up 16 and Reidford 14. Esche also finished in a tie with Simpson for nine kills and Durchholz had four. Herrmann had a solo block while Simpson had three block assists followed by Hermann with two and

North Posey’s girls find a way to win one despite six out with injuries By Steve Joos There were just too many Mosbys running around the North Posey soccer field last week, not to mention Ungetheim, with help from Holzmeyer. The Mosby twins proved to be too much as visiting Gibson Southern wiped out North Posey 7-1 to open the week. Casey Mosby scored three goals and had two assists, while twin sister Sydney booted in two and helped out on two more. Emily Ungetheim also knocked in a pair of goals, while Casey Holzmeyer added a pair of assists for the Lady Titans. The Mosbys gave the Lady Vikings trouble off the top, coach Pleasant Dike said, adding that they took advantage of a different goalkeepers (North Posey’s starter has been sidelined with a broken collarbone). The Lady Titans cashed in on that quickly. “We have one sub,” Dike said. “We had so many injured and we had limited resources. There wasn’t anything more the girls could do. I just wanted to get through

this one without any more injuries.” North Posey went into last week missing six players. Two were out with mononucleosis, another two are down were down with broken bones and two more were hit by a virus which was going around. “We knew Gibson Southern would be a good team,” the coach said. “We were really looking forward to this and hoping we could have a good game, but we had trouble. They played a good game and we can’t take than away from them.” Ungetheim started the scoring for Gibson Southern, by connecting off a pass from Holzmeyer before the Mosbys got going. Then Casey Mosby scored off a feed from Sydney to put the Lady Titans up 2-0. Casey Mosby scored off a feed from Kaylee Cox and Sydney Mosby rounded out the scoring with an unassisted goal late in the first half, giving the Lady Titans a 4-0 lead at the break. The bombardment continued in the second half, as Sydney Mosby picked up where she left off in the first half (connecting off a
pass from Brittany Parrish), before Ungetheim scored her second goal of the night with an assist from Sylvia Adler. Holzmeyer’s second assist of the night enabled Casey Mosby to complete the hat trick with 16:52 left in the contest. The Lady Vikings averted a shutout when Haley Al-
len connected with 5:53 to play as Nichole Perry saw an opening near the penalty kick line and told Allen to get in position for a throw in. Dike hopes to have some of her wounded back in a few weeks, while it may take a little longer with the more serious illnesses and broken bones expected to keep those
girls out for as many as four weeks. Dike felt that there were some things that the team did improve on, such as improving on their two-touch passing and she’s hopeful that the work in practice will start paying off once everybody gets back from the disabled list.
Most of North Posey’s wounded got that way during the team’s recent 8-0 loss to Mater Dei in Evansville, Dike said. The Lady Viking defense picked up on Tuesday, even if the offense didn’t, as North Posey played to a scoreless tie with Bosse at the EVSC fields.

Lady Wildcats win 2 of 3 By Steve Joos Two out three isn’t bad. Especially considering the Mount Vernon volleyball team’s recent history at the New Albany Invitational Volleyball Tournament. The Lady Wildcats won three of four matches last week, beating Central Tuesday night in three sets despite a less-than-complete performance in the eyes of coach Andi Allford and then took two out three matches at New Albany, beating Lanesville 25-9, 2513 and Jeffersonville 25-11, 25-14 with a 2521, 25-11 loss to New Albany in between. The Lady Cats rode a series of long service streaks to a 25-14, 25-19, 25-10 win over visiting Central Tuesday in match where Alford still thought the team could have played better. “We came out with a win, but our energy wasn’t what I’d like it to be and they weren’t playing as aggressive as they should,” the coach explained. “Our hitter-setter connection was off tonight, it wasn’t working the way it did in practice and it just threw the whole game off tonight.” Alford may have found the Lady Cats’ play mediocre, but they did take care of business on the floor, dispatching the Lady Bears
in often easy fashion. In the first set, Carynn Koch was at the line when Mount Vernon reeled off nine straight points to open up what had been an early tie and give the Lady Wildcats a 9-2 lead and control of that set. After a back-and-forth second set where Mount Vernon didn’t take control until a four-point run off Koch’s offerings put the Lady Cats up by four points at 16-12, they parlayed runs of four and six points into a 14-5 lead in the third set, breaking open another tie. “The good thing is that they still took care of business,” Alford said. “They kept the ball in play, they did what was needed to be done.” The coach just through that the energy level could have been higher. Koch had good energy and was keeping the lines of communication going, Alford said. The big senior turned in 12 kills, three aces, three blocks and 10 assists while showing up just about everywhere on the court. Meagan Montgomery added three aces, while Meagan Martin turned in 28 assists.

By Steve Joos On Tuesday, the Mount Vernon boys’ soccer team shut out Bosse. On Saturday, they were shut out in Jasper. And how did your week go? The Wildcats split a pair of shutouts last week, losing a Big Eight Conference matchup at Jasper 3-0 after beating Bosse 1-0 Tuesday at the EVSC fields. “We looked better against Bosse,” coach Travis Kaiser said. “We were playing better in the middle and backfield. We did a lot better.” Dylan Reubenacker scored the Wildcats’ lone goal of the week when he took a corner kick from Alex Austin and put it in late in the second half Tuesday night. Saturday’s game was fairly physical, with a number of yellow cards and a red card handed out and Mount Vernon forced to play the last 50 minutes of the game with just 10 players. Jasper led 1-0 at halftime and Kaiser wasn’t sure that his team still believed it could come back after that goal went in early in the game. “We need to remember that just because you get down 1-0, that you still have a chance,” the coach said. “We need to have that extra amount of desire that can overcome that 1-0 deficit.” They also showed they could hold on to a 1-0 lead last week. Katie Cox and Jenny Koch. If one offensive threat for the Mount Vernon girls’ soccer team doesn’t get you, the other one will and they’ll help each other out. That was the case last week, as the two girls accounted for all of the Lady Wildcats’ scoring (13 goals, to be exact) as Mount Vernon won two out of three games. Cox scored seven goals, while Koch added six to go along with several assists as the Lady Cats dropped a 5-4 decision to Princeton Tuesday and then came back to beat Wood Memorial 6-3 Thursday and Day School 2-0 Saturday. “Katie and Jenny are working hard and working well together,” coach Liz Castle said. “They know where the other one is supposed to be on the field and work to get to where they want to be and where the good shots are.” Koch scored two goals Saturday as the Lady Cats blanked day School 2-0 at the Geobel complex. Cox had one assist. On Thursday, Mount Vernon traveled to Mackey and topped Wood Memorial 6-3, as both Cox and Koch booted in three goals. Tuesday’s loss to Princeton was weighing on Castle and the rest of the team as they traveled to Mackey for Thursday’s game with Wood Memorial. Once again, the Lady Trojans took the lead, but this time, Mount Vernon was able to get control of the game.
Koch and Cox had some help from their supporting cast against Lady Trojans, as three different girls had assists. Megan Randall had two assists, while Samantha Scheu and Samantha Alsop each helped out on one goal. Cox booted in three goals Tuesday night, but it wasn’t enough as visiting Princeton edged Mount Vernon 5-4 on sudden death penalty kicks after the two teams played through regulation to a 4-4 tie and went through the two overtime periods and penalty kicks. Koch scored the other goal and added an assist as the Lady Cats came up short for the first time this season. The team didn’t spend a lot of time on penalty kicks in practice and that may have hurt, Castle said. Falling behind early and more importantly, they didn’t draw first blood in the game. “I was thinking we might go 14-2 this season, but I didn’t think this would be one of the two,” the coach explained. “Princeton scored early and we had to
come back.” The game was tied 1-1 at halftime and the Lady Wildcats spent most of the second half trying to keep up with the Lady Tigers. Castle was also pleased with Scheu and Alsop’s efforts defensively in the center midfield. She was also felt that her team developed a little more confidence after bouncing back from a tough loss to pick up two wins. That extra confidence will be needed as the Lady
Cats go up against some stronger competition over the rest of the season. “The wins were great confidence boosters,” the coach said. “Winning 6-3 and 2-0, these weren’t very big margins, but they were comfortable enough that we were able to have our confidence and morale get a boost.” With Koch and Cox looking for the open shots, the Lady Wildcats should have a little more confidence.

Appellate ruling on Stephenson case keeps conviction intact The U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals today issued a ruling in the case of John Matthew Stephenson, who has been on death row for 13 years following his conviction on a 1996 triple murder in Warrick County. The federal appeals court today reversed and remanded an earlier ruling of the U.S. District Court in July 2009 stemming from issues relating to security precautions used during Stephenson’s trial. Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller issued the following statement. “It’s important that the federal appeals court left intact Stephenson’s underlying convictions and that he does not get a new trial on the charges. The guilt phase of the original trial in 1997 lasted many weeks and was costly. Today’s decision only involves the penalty phase and sends the case back to the federal district court to consider various remaining issues,” Zoeller said. “In representing the State of Indiana on appeal and
standing up for the dignity of crime victims, the Attorney General’s Office always has maintained that the security precaution of requiring Stephenson to wear a stun belt under his clothing was reasonable during his trial,” Zoeller added. Stephenson was convicted in May 1997 in Warrick Superior Court in the March 28, 1996, slayings in which Stephenson chased the three victims to a rural intersection, emptied a 30-round SKS rifle into their bodies and then stabbed them repeatedly. The jury recommended the death sentence, which the trial court imposed. Stephenson’s convictions all were affirmed on his direct appeal in state court and on his post-conviction relief petition. Today’s ruling was in his federal habeas corpus appeal, and it sends the case back to the District Court for further review of the remaining issues that have not been ruled upon by the federal courts.

Once she retired from NHS in 1990, she continued to work alongside her husband and added hours to her hostess schedule. The Gerards retired from paid employment in 2001. They became active at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church when
Fr. David Booher created a special 8 a.m. Sunday service for shopkeepers, golfers and farmers. Both Gary and Mary Ellen have represented their church on the board at the New Harmony Ministry Association. They traveled together two years in a row to Bluff, Utah, to serve as cooks during the week-long mission trips to help the Navajos. They have made kuchens and tenderloin sandwiches famous in their work at the church food booth during the annual Kunstfest. In addition, Gary has served as a junior warden and on the vestry. As chairman of the building committee, his proudest moment is seeing the Parish House construction become a reality with the open house slated for this fall. With the retirement of Rev. Martha Honaker in September, Mary Ellen will be especially busy as senior warden to schedule supply priests and manage pastoral care until a new priest is appointed to the parish. Forty-four years ago, Gary earned his way into the heart of the New Harmony community by also serving with the New Harmony Volunteer Fire Department. “It was very interesting,” he says, “and I met a great bunch of fellows.” He recalls the annual hog butchering and sausage grinding to supply the fire department’s annual
1.9%
sausage supper, their biggest fundraiser of the year. Along with several friends, Gary founded the New Harmony Jaycees, who sponsored Hey Days for a number of years. He rounded out his volunteer resume with a seat on the Ellis Park Foundation Board, the race track’s fundraising arm for children, and enlisting Dr. Bill Wooten, the founder of Youth First to place a counselor in NHS. Co-director of the New Harmony Food Pantry, Mary Ellen counts on Gary’s help there as well. She is on the board for distributing the Alexander Orphans Fund in Posey County. She has previously served on the board for Posey County’s Family Matters, the Charles Ford Home and Albion Fellows Bacon Center in Evansville. The youthful Gerards celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this past November 28. They have two children, Scott and Sarah, fondly known as Sally. Scott is the safety director for Eagle Med located in Wichita, Kan., and the father of the Gerards’ three grandchildren: Cecilia (Garrison); Alex, a second lieutenant in the Air Force preparing for pilot training; and Ian, a sophomore at Transylvania University in Lexington, Ky. Cecilia holds distinction as the mother of the Gerards’ two great granddaughters, Amelia and Violet. The Gerards’ daughter Sally has been a Delta
flight attendant for 25 years and lives in Atlanta. Both Scott and Sally graduated from NHS. Still, their lives wouldn’t be complete without Smokee and The Bandit, their two cats, for whom Gary built the screened-in porch.
