By Valerie Werkmeister A long-time goal to make the routes to North Elementary School in Poseyville a little safer was realized this week when the Poseyville Town Council received notification from the Indiana Department of Transportation that it had been awarded the Safe Routes to School Grant. Poseyville will receive $150,000 in grant money to be used to construct new sidewalks and install flashing lights in front of North Elementary School. Town council president Bruce Baker made the

Mums for Relay Now through the end of August, the St. Francis Xavier and St. Paul’s Relay for Life teams are selling Hardy Mums just in time for fall.

announcement during the council’s regular meeting on Wednesday, August 11. The town council will collaborate with engineers to determine where sidewalks will be constructed.

Poseyville Volunteer Fireman, Dwayne Szubinski sp? Was recognized for his heroic efforts by council members and fire chief Michael Crawford. He received an award from Crawford for saving Gregory Foster’s life in June by performing CPR before other emergency medical personnel could arrive on the scene. Crawford stated that Foster owes his life to Szubinski as things may have turned out differently if he had not been in the right place at the right time.

Golf carts will now be legal to

drive on the streets of Poseyville thanks to a new ordinance regulating their operation in town. Individuals with a valid driver’s license will be allowed to drive a golf cart as long as it is registered with the town and the $25 fee is paid.

At the time of registration, the golf cart will be inspected by the Poseyville Town Marshall or a deputy to ensure it meets all the requirements set forth in the ordinance. Golf carts must have brakes and lights, a rear view mirror, windshield, side reflectors, tail lights, turn signals, an orange pennant or flag, and a slow moving sign posted in the back of the cart. Seatbelts are recommended, but not required.

Infants or small children riding in the golf cart must be properly re-

Golf carts are not legally allowed to drive on any state highways or interstates, therefore they will not be allowed to travel on Highways 165 or 68. In addition, golf carts will not be allowed to cross the busy Main Street at the intersections of Main and Cale Streets or Main and Locust Streets due to parking congestion.

The Town Marshall will enforce the ordinance and first time violators will receive a $100 fine. Violators who receive a second offense within a 12-month period will receive a $200 fine and third time offenders will be fined $250. Anyone who violates the ordinance more

‘Wall’ volunteers still direly needed “I worked at the Vietnam Moving Wall.”

This is a statement that a limited number of area residents will be able to make after September 6, 2010. Now is the time for the public to offer their services as greeters and assistants during the stay of the Wall in Mount Vernon, Ind. Jake Frederick and Connie Seifert have taken the responsibility of scheduling volunteers, day and night, from Sept. 2-6. Their plan is to have at least one Vietnam Veteran and one civilian “on duty” at all times.

For months a committee of volunteers has been planning for the Vietnam Moving Wall to be in Mt. Vernon, the only Indiana site on the schedule for the

Wall this year. The planning will become a reality when the Wall arrives for setup at Water and Main streets in Mt. Vernon on Thursday morning, September 2. Viewing will begin at 12 noon on Thursday and continue, 24 hours a day, until 8 a.m. on Tuesday morning, September 6.

During all of the 116 hours that the Wall will be open to the public, volunteers will be needed to greet visitors, help people find names, help visitors do rubbings, answer general questions.

Anyone who is willing to volunteer an hour or two or even several hours is asked to contact Frederick (480-7355) or Seifert (985-0877) as soon as possible.

Second auto parts store opens here

South Terrace Open South Terrace School will hold an Open House on Tuesday, September 7. Visitors may come from 6:30-8:30. Everyone is welcome.

Clarification: In an article that appeared in last week’s Posey County News, it was quoted that oil wells could be a source of new income. The amounts quote were assessed values, not actual potential tax dollars. We regret this error.

the year, I kept on telling him that I thought he ought to do it. And he did it and here we are.”

The store makes the second full line auto parts store in Poseyville but Edwards says he believes competition is healthy and that both stores will be better because of it.

The idea that the store would actually open finally took root only about two months ago and after all the papers were signed, the store opened last week. A grand opening was held on Saturday at the site of the new store.

“The fact that we have a huge service center and we work on medium-duty trucks helped weigh in the decision,” Edwards said.

“But we have done that all along.

The store will be a tremendous asset for our shop not having to run to Evansville or wait for parts to come to us. It will save us a lot of time and money in the long run. I can already see that it has made a big difference.”

By Pam Robinson When members of the audience addressed the Mount Vernon City Council Monday, August 9, they brought interest to an otherwise routine meeting. After just a couple of weeks on the job, John Taylor, Executive Director of the Posey County Economic Development Partnership, or PCEDP, announced the organization will host an economic development summit at Thrall’s Opera House in New Harmony on Thursday, September 2, from 1 to 4 p.m. He invited a city council member to represent that governing body at the summit and to RSVP by Wednesday, September 1.

Later in the evening, Mount Vernon resident Judy Whitten spoke regarding issues at the riverfront. Whitten is concerned with the ramping on bicycles that leave black marks on the sidewalks and with littering. She requested posting signs to remind young people and the public of no littering and no bicycles in the area. She expressed her concern also about potential skateboarding in the area and suggested looking into the feasibility and cost of placing knobs in the sidewalks to deter skateboarders.

Councilman Steve Fuelling said he thought prohibited activities will decline once the area is decorated and lighting goes up and more traffic is at the riverfront. He added that the new curfews should help with the situation.

Councilwoman Becky Higgins and Mayor John Tucker directed Whitten to the Parks Board, who passes rules and regulations for activities at the riverfront. Mayor Tucker said once those rules and regulations are in place, he will ask Street Commissioner Roy Maynard to order signs.

At the close of the meeting, Councilwoman Higgins also reminded residents to show their community pride and to keep the city clean, especially during the display of the Vietnam Moving Wall, September 2-7. The event may bring upwards of 30,000 visitors to Mount Vernon.

In other business: •Councilwoman Becky Higgins asked that Evansville Western Railroad be contacted about the crossing by the Farm Bureau Co-op.

The crossing has become so rough, especially east of the crossing, that motorists are using the center turn lane to avoid the wear and tear on their vehicles. Mayor Tucker said he will contact Mr. Buchanan, who had plans to take care of the crossing there as well as at West Second and Third streets.

•Councilwoman Rita Askren reported she had received an email about speeding on East Water Street and Police Chief Grant Beloat would be sending extra patrols to the area.

OPINION

Stick ‘em up, we’re taking a trip to see the Cardinals It had been a couple of years since I had been to a professional baseball game. I remembered that it was expensive the last time I went, how- TRUTH... ever, as I sit here on an empty STRANGER pocketbook, I think prices THAN have gone up even more.

A few weeks ago, a few FICTION friends and I talked about get- BY DAVE ting together to go to another PEARCE game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. About the only day we could all manage to get off at the same time was Sunday. So we decided that this Sunday would be the day.

My search for tickets began on Ebay and then on to the various websites to try and find a bargain. I’m usually the last one to commit to a price, always thinking I could find something less expensive. But I needed five tickets together and there weren’t many people who seemed to have five decent tickets together.

So, once I found the tickets, sticker shock set it. It cost $70 per ticket to sit in the second level.

Since I have only been to the “new” stadium one time, I was convinced that I had it figured out and that at gametime, we would be in the shade. Gametime had originally been slated for 3 p.m. But even before I bought the tickets, I knew the game would now start at 1:15.

It goes without saying that it has been a miserable August so far. One of my buddies is a fireman and is accustomed to the heat while two others in the party work outside in the heat all the time and for them it wasn’t all that big a deal. The other works with me in Henderson and is a few years younger than I am but apparently doesn’t spend a lot of time outside.

The four of them met in Henderson and it was decided that I would meet them at exit No. 12, the Poseyville exit off of I64. On Saturday night, I knew it would take quite a bit of gas to get there. So we filled up the tank

with gasoline at $2.61 per gallon and we had another $40 invested in the trip.

Of course we had to stop and get food and drinks on the way and we were another $10- $15 apiece into the trip.

Upon reaching downtown St. Louis, parking is always a problem. We wanted to park somewhere in the vicinity of the stadium so the walk would not be too long and too hot. Bam, another $20 into the trip and we were not into the stadium yet.

Of course, our parking place was on the opposite side of the stadium from our seats so our walk was long and hot. However, sweat equity was inexpensive. At least we did not have to pay for walking to our seats.

Who can go to a baseball game without having at least one hotdog and drink. A large Diet Coke was the same price as a beer (at $8 a pop) because the large Coke came in a large souvenir (plastic) take-home cup. I wanted to prove to be a worthy host for my friends.

After all, this was a renewal of the same trip we had taken a couple of years ago. So when I got up to go to the restroom, I decided to bring back a hot dog and a drink for each of my friends. Yep, another $47.50.

While I was standing in line to get my food, the Cubs (yes, those lowly Cubs) scored five runs and when I returned to my seat, not only did I spill one of the five drinks but when I saw the scoreboard, I became almost ill. Here I sit in 95-plus degree heat, in the sun, eating a $5 hot dog and drinking an $8 Diet Coke. All of this so I could watch a group of overpaid men play a child’s game. I had to rationalize this before I returned to my seat. “What’s wrong with this picture?” I asked myself.

The company was the best part of the trip.

I always enjoy watching a good ballgame and I especially enjoy being with this particular group of friends. I have spent significant work time with all but one of them and played on

Take a step back, enjoy the ride Several years ago, I stopped watching most television. My action contrasted sharply with my youthful habits, from preschool through graduate school. With no formal kindergarten offered in our Kentucky public school district, “Romper Room” served FOR THE as my early childhood class- RECORD room. Once I started school in earnest, I was like every BY PAM other kid in my rural com- ROBINSON munity and depended on television for adventure.

I lived for the “Lone Ranger,” “Bonanza” and “The Big Valley.” The battle between the good guys and the bad guys took on a new dimension with the advent of “Lost in Space” and the much more sophisticated “Star Trek.” Later, dramas such as “Medical Center” and “Hawaii Five-O” suited me more than sci-fi although I tuned in to every single episode of “The Six Million Dollar Man” and “The Bionic Woman.”

Soaps provided a welcome diversion from a heavy academic load when I entered advanced study. “Dallas” was the craze during my years at Kentucky Wesleyan College. Likewise, one of my graduate school classmates and I lived for Thursday night popcorn and the continuing saga of “Falcon Crest.”

My taste in newscasters reflected my coming of age also. For years, I listened with my parents to Walter Cronkite declare, “That’s the way it is,” until I became enamored of

Gavel Gamut’s Last year’s invasion of buffalo gnats remains a painful memory. But just as the Greek philosopher Epicurus (341 – 270 B.C.) defined pleasure as the absence of pain, this year sans b.g.’s has been sweet.

The Psychology 101 metaphor for pleasure was pulling one’s cold toes back under the covers on a winter morning. Somehow in this 100 degree heat that analogy does not work so well.

Perhaps taking a break from yard work by going inside to a frosty air conditioned house makes the better point. Of course, the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung (1875 – 1961) posited happiness without a measure of pain is meaningless.

So, I guess, we are supposed to be grateful for life’s buffalo gnats. I will do my best to celebrate the occasional infestation. However, if it’s all the same to you, I will take more pleasure in their absence.

I was cogitating on these mysteries last evening as Peg and I watched the hummingbirds fight and cavort at the feeders she assigns me to maintain. They are made of red plastic and contain about one cup of sugar water solu-

the handsome Peter Jennings on the “ABC Nightly News.”

I loved television until I was introduced to the PC when I entered the workforce. Once I earned enough money to afford my own computer, I found everything I needed at my fingertips. I could check out the news and entertainment and switch between them with what seemed like the speed of light. But computer activities fail to lend themselves to good old-fashioned conversation. Computer voice recognition just isn’t the same thing.

When my daughter and my husband watch a television program, they share an activity. As they consider, for example, the contestants In “America’s Got Talent,” they bond. They debate what really figures as talent. They laugh together at the unintentional humor of second-rate acts who take themselves far too seriously. They try to second guess the judges. They call me in when a miracle happens like the 10-year-old opera singer.

I’ve decided becoming lost in a television series is far to be preferred to becoming lost in cyberspace. I’m putting my family on notice to count me in on nightly television viewings. They can control the remote, but they need to leave the recliner open for me.

After all, I still don’t want to be a couch potato.

the same softball team with three of the four.

It was getting late into the ballgame and almost time to head out. I couldn’t let the group get away without buying something to remember our trip. So I slipped out and picked up hats for the five of us and a few little souvenirs for the kids. One of the guys has two children at home and the other has triplets. All are under four years of age. So by the time I got ready to check out there, I had spent another $189.

At this point, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why we limit our trips to the ballpark to once every year or two. It is nights like this when I realize why I work two jobs. I think that I will begin now to put back money for next year’s trip. Maybe when the time gets near, I will have enough money saved up to have a significant down payment on the day.

If I don’t, I think it might be cheaper just to ask the guys and their families to come over and spend the week or take the whole gang out for a big meal and an afternoon of entertainment. It would probably be cheaper.

But no, I will probably go ahead and start putting back the pennies. Money can’t buy an afternoon with four of the best guys I know.

That’s one of the reasons I work, just to get an opportunity to have a little free time now and again to spend with friends. But if you’re contemplating a day at the ballpark, I’d suggest you start saving now. Entertainment is not cheap, especially at the ballpark.

Next year I think we may have to take advantage of something a little closer to home and a little less expensive. Besides that, if we go to see the Otters, maybe we can go more than once a year!

Letters to the Editor To the parents of schoolchildren across Indiana: As your kids return to class for another school year, we wanted to take a few minutes to let you know about some of the changes you may be seeing at your local schools.

Due to the $300 million in funding cuts ordered by Governor Daniels, many of you will find that the school building your children used to attend will be closed.

The number of students in your child’s classes will have grown by as much as 20 percent over last year.

The programs your child planned on taking to get ready for college may be gone.

Count yourself lucky if you haven’t received a notice for fees your child has to pay in order to take part in band, football, or other extracurricular activities. If the state Attorney General hadn’t said that transportation to school was an essential part of a student’s education, many of you would have received a bill for your child to ride the school bus.

That teacher your oldest child adored when he went

through the third grade may be out of a job before his siblings get that old.

Finally, as a parent and a taxpayer, be prepared to see millions of dollars in school funding property tax referendums on the ballot this November, and for possibly many Novembers to follow.

The Governor announced the $300 million in school funding cuts in late December of 2009, but due to that cut arriving in the middle of the school year, you are just now seeing the impact they are having on our schools.

Less than three weeks after those cuts were announced, Governor Daniels and Superintendent Tony Bennett started their 2010 education agenda with a $48 million mandate for local schools. The General Assembly wisely sent the bill to be studied by the Department of Education, with a report due in 2011 along with a recommendation on how to fund more time for reading remediation.

Please be aware, we are at a serious crossroads for the future of K-12 education in Indiana. Hoosiers

GAVEL GAMUT

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE up for mixed drinks when I tended bar at night at Indiana University. No, I.U. did not run the tavern, but it was the reason there were so many “students” who consumed the simple syrup laced with spirits as voraciously as our hummingbirds gulp down their drug of choice.

Last year, for whatever reason, we had only three regular imbibers at the feeders and they appeared late in the season. The buffalo gnats and mosquitoes had too large a head start. This year we are blessed with numerous hummingbirds and blessedly few pain inflicting insects.

You would think I could just enjoy the relief without analyzing the actions of my saviors. Of course, Peg would quickly disabuse you of such a thought. Things bother me.

I could not help but note how even though we go through about five pounds of sugar and ten gallons of water per week, and even though Peg harangues me every morning and evening to refill the feeders, the hummingbirds behave just as humans do. In each feeder there are eight holes for eight birds yet each bird spends more time trying to hog the whole feeder than feeding.

It is an object lesson in Carl Jung’s archetypal behavior.

The red throated males fight with each other; the grey breasted females fight with each other; the males and females cavort and fight; and all of them preen and pose at their reflections in the windows. What they never do is cooperate and share for more than a few seconds at a time even though all could get more readily and easily if they did. Does this sound familiar?

Regardless, Peg and I can now walk down to and around the pond or sit on the deck or even mow the grass without needing a blood transfusion as we did last year. Our hummingbirds may not be a model of cooperative living but, hey, I am not their judge.

“Dud,” said Doc, “you’re a guy with a scientific mind.

I need you to do something for me.”

Dud swelled with pride to be hearing this from his hero, Doc. “You know I try real hard to be scientific, Doc. Whatever you need, I’ll do it.”

“Dudley, I want you to become the richest man in the world, and I know just how you can do it.”

This had attracted the attention of all the rest of us at the philosophy counter at the Mule Barn truck stop, of course.

“Get rich?”

“The richest,” Doc said.

“Wealth beyond your wildest dreams of avarice, my boy.

You’d have to hire every one of us to help you spend it. I mean … rich!”

have to make it known that support for K-12 education is a priority.

Governor Daniels and Superintendent Bennett want to debate education reform while pretending there are no negative impacts to public education being brought about by the $300 million in funding cuts they endorse.

Indiana House Democrats remain committed to responsibly funding education in this state.

Parents, students, teachers, and all other Hoosier taxpayers deserve an answer to the question that Governor Daniels and his administration have dodged for months. Since the state ended fiscal year 2010 with a surplus of over $830 million, were the $300 million in school funding cuts ordered by the Governor truly the last resort?

and was a founding member of the Fun Mon Bunco Club, started in 1961. She was a lifelong active member of First United Methodist Church in Mount Vernon. Laura was an avid gardener, which provided pleasure to friends, family, neighbors, and total strangers driving by her corner and caused them to stop and marvel at her backyard oasis, where Laura found great solace.

Laura’s gardening expertise was tapped by most everyone at some point, as she delighted in not only sharing knowledge, but also starts of her favorite plants. She was a dear beloved friend to all God’s creatures, especially her feathered friends who often lifted her spirits with their songs.

In these last two years of her life, Laura was able to enjoy many great days, which allowed her to enjoy time in her precious yard with friends and family. She was fortunate to travel to her second home in New England, where she explored every state and doted over her beloved grand dogs: Maya and Harley. During this time Laura also traveled to visit her brother and his family in Arizona, arriving one day after the birth of her very first great, great grand niece, Ruthanne Cecilia Peterson Kumau of Guiana.

Every candidate has different motivations for running for office. My motivation is grounded in my long held desire to serve my state. As an advocate for civics and civic education, I feel it is necessary for the voice of the people to be heard and those in office to be held accountable to the citizens of the district. I decided to run immediately after the election of 2008, primarily because of those reasons. The people need to have representation that is willing to listen and be accessible.

Napa has numerous brands that are sold under a variety of names. The store will have all kinds of chemicals and care car supplies. The store will also stock lawnmower parts and a variety of other small engine items.

“One thing that amazed me is that NAPA has so much,” Edwards said. “If we don’t have it in the store, NAPA has 20 feet of catalogs that we can get things from. They have boat motor parts, tractor parts, semi parts, just about everything.”

For starters, the store is sitting on about a half-million dollars in inventory.

“We have to look and see what the farmers are doing, and if we need to be open expanded hours for them, we will be here,” Edwards said. “Our schedule will be flexible.”

The store has already added one full-time employee and Edwards says he hopes that demand calls for the addition of at least one other store employee.

“I’m hoping we can add some more technicians in our service area and some delivery drivers, too,” he said. “We are working work on a route where we can deliver over into Griffin and Grayville. We are already doing some deliveries to Mount Vernon. We want to take care of our wholesale accounts as well.”

Organizers promise third River Days is to be the best yet Mount Vernon River Days, from its beginning three years ago, has had as its focus to bring attention to Mount Vernon’s rich “Ohio River Heritage.” The featured attraction at this year’s River Days will be the ORSANCO Aquarium, a traveling freshwater aquarium, which allows visitors to see “Life Below the Waterline.” This 2200 gallon tank is designed to demonstrate the diversity of life sustained by the Ohio and to feature the improvements that have been made in water quality.

ORSANCO (Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission) was established in 1948 to control and abate pollution in the Ohio River basin. It represents the federal government and eight states (Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia).

The water for the aquarium will be drawn from the Ohio River at Mount Vernon and will contain about 150 species of underwater life taken from the Mount Vernon riverfront area. Visitors will be able to view the river life through two 5’ x 10’ viewing areas.

The aquarium, free to the public, will be located on Water Street near College Street.

This is but one of the many events that

will fill the days from Friday, Sept. 10 at 11 a.m. until Sunday afternoon, Sept. 12, on Mount Vernon’s Riverfront.

Food Booths will line both sides of Main Street from Second to Water; vendors will be located along Water Street, and historic demonstrations will be in Sherburne Park.

The “Smoke on the Ohio,” barbecue competition will begin smoking and serving on Friday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and begin again at 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Saturday.

The Little Miss and Mr. Contest at 6 p.m. on Friday will be in between the White Knuckles Bluegrass group and music from Geoff Dell. Friday evening will close out with a Talent Show and Karaoke on the main stage.

Horse and Wagon rides will be available from 3 to 7 p.m. on Friday and 12 to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Walking History Tours will be scheduled all three days. Also scheduled for Sept. 10-12 at Alexandrian Public Library is an art exhibit “Honoring Posey County Artists.”

Saturday’s activities will begin with a Kids’ Parade at 10 a.m. A Children’s Arcade and Inflatables will be available for the younger set. On Saturday at 11:30 a.m.

Gas and water operator Ken Gorbett addressed the council in regards to the upcoming fall leaf collection season. He expressed concerns over residents raking leaves into the streets instead of to the street curb. Children playing in the leaves could be at risk to be hit by passing vehicles. The council instructed Utility office manager, Julie Mayo, to include a notice on the utility bills asking citizens to only rake leaves to the street curb, not directly in the street.

Gorbett also discussed the need for a few Poseyville streets to be re-paved. He stated he had informally asked a few paving companies if they were able to do the work. According to

Gorbett, DK Parker Construction Co. is the only company who could immediately start on the work. Council president Bruce Baker asked Gorbett to get a least one more proposal from another company before they would make a decision.

John Taylor, the new Posey County Economic Development Executive Director, was introduced to the council. He pledged his support to help sell the Poseyville community to prospective industry and future businesses.

The close proximity of Interstate 64 puts the town in a good position to attract possible employers and expand the tax base.

The next regular meeting of the Poseyville Town Council will be on Wednesday, September 8, at 4:30 p.m. at the Poseyville Community Center. The public is invited to attend.

Pedal Pulls will take place.

Military displays will be on display, and military re-enactors will be visiting with the crowd throughout the festival. At 12 noon on Saturday, a picture of Posey County Heroes (military, fire and police and first responders) will be taken.

Banjo Pickin’ Champ Aaron Thomas, Neil Yockey, guitar champ, and Friends of Home Bluegrass will provide music during the day on Saturday.

The popular Family Feud, back from last year, is scheduled from 1 to 3 p.m.; the Cornhole Tournament will also be going on from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday.

Agape Praise & Worship Group and Danen Kane will be performing on Saturday afternoon just before the Parade begins at 5:30 p.m.

Wolfgang Classical Ensemble will play their patriotic program, just before the fireworks at 8 p.m.

Sunday’s schedule begins with a nondenominational worship service on the riverfront, with the River City Quartet singing at 9:00 a.m. Cruisin’ for the Cure Car Show will be on the Courthouse Square at 10 a.m. with the trophy presentation at 3 p.m. The traditional Hoop-Pole Ceremony will take place at 2:30 p.m. on the main stage.

As a way to “give back” to the community, non-perishable food items and cash will be accepted for the local Food Pantry and At the Cross Mission.

God’s Storehouse open house Aug. 22 The Food Pantry at St. Peter’s UCC at 10430 Highway 66 in Parker Settlement, Posey County, has been in constant operation since 1987 serving food to residents of Posey County two Mondays each month. During all of these 23 years the food was carried downstairs to the church basement for storage and then carried up by volunteers and recipients on distribution days. Over the last five years the need for food has grown exponentially – thus vastly increasing the amount of food carried downstairs and upstairs. An Ecumenical Board was formed in late 2006, participation by a more diverse group of volunteers was increased, excitement for this ministry spread, all the churches in Northern Posey County participated and the

dream of a ground floor facility was given flesh. Various sites were examined, options discussed, word spread. Farmers and contractors came forward due almost exclusively to Carl Schmitz, a local dairy farmer and founding member of Partners for Food.

Ground breaking for “God’s Storehouse” occurred in October of 2009. Since then more than 25 businesses – including excavators, plumbers, builders, roofers, electricians, HVAC specialists – as well as a veritable army of laborers – have volunteered their service and much of the actual construction material to erect a free standing building to house the food pantry.

Foundations, private citizens and other granting organizations have stepped up and supported the erection of the

building financially. The final cost of the building will be about $85,000. The actual cost exclusively for materials is less than $30,000.

On Sunday afternoon, August 22, a dedication ceremony will be held at 2 p.m. followed by two hours of an Open House including a reception and tour of the new facility. This event is in thanksgiving for all the many volunteers who have made the building happen, who provide the food each second and fourth Monday, who staff the Pantry during hours of operation, who make the delivery trips to pick up the food at the Tri-State Food Bank – and also for the many Posey County neighbors who find themselves in the situation of needing the services of God’s Storehouse.

‘Angelus’ takes show on the road, enjoys successes Angelus, Mount Vernon Senior High School’s sacred music ensemble has just returned from a twelve day east coast concert tour. Featuring performances in Philadelphia, New York, Cincinnati and Columbus (Ohio), the ensemble received rave reviews from concert goers.

“It may have been a bit presumptuous to plan a tour to major cities but we soon discovered that what the girls are able to do is quite pleasing and unique”, notes music director Dana Taylor. “What was particularly gratifying was how the girls handled themselves during performances and that audiences conspicuously praised them for their sound, repertoire and professionalism.”

The tour included stops at St. Walburg Monastery (Villa Hills, KY), Christ Church Cathedral (Cincinnati) for an evening concert followed by stops at Summit on 16th United Methodist Church (Columbus) and Trinity Church Oxford

in Philadelphia where Pres.

James Buchannan’s brother was pastor as well as Betsy Ross’ father-in-law.

The tour picked up again in New York with a performance at Christ and St. Stephen’s Church where Ruth Cunningham (founding member of the internationally acclaimed ensemble Anonymous 4) came to the concert. Ms. Cunningham performed with the MVHS Chamber Choir in Mar. of 2008 and Angelus performs some of her works. Ms. Cunningham limited her review of the performance to just one word, “Great”.

On Friday, July 16, the ensemble presented a benefit concert for the entertainment industry’s charity, “Behind the Scenes”. The concert was performed at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin (Times Square). On Sunday, the ensemble participated in a Choral Eucharist at Church of the Holy Trinity on 88th St (New York). Music Director at

Holy Trinity, Dr. Stephen Hamilton noted that “the ensemble was wonderful and sang beautifully” and he has invited the ensemble to return to New York to present a full concert. Following their appearances in New York, the ensemble returned to Philadelphia for concerts at St. Luke’s (Germantown) and St. Thomas Church (Whitemarsh). .Dr. Stephan Casurella, Director of Music at Christ Church Cathedral (Cincinnati) commented that "Angelus was an absolute delight! The young women sang with poise and enthusiasm. They clearly love the music they sing, and that love was contagious. Such commitment to refinement of musical expression is unusual, especially in the high school setting. Many a college or university would be envious of these voices and the ensemble's maturity. Director Dana Taylor is to be commended for envisioning and bringing to fruition

Angelus, A Phenomenon a remarkable phenomenon.

Who would have thought that a group of teenagers might have the discipline to study and bring to life such a broad range of music, from the Medieval world to southern harmony and beyond”.

Likewise Sheena Phillips, Director of Music at Sum-

mit on 16th United Methodist Church (Columbus) noted “Angelus presented a truly delightful concert well chosen repertoire, all beautifully sung.”

Angelus is indeed unusual among high school choral ensembles in the United States and provides its mem-

bers a unique experience.

Auditions for Angelus will begin on Aug. 23 and their first public performance will be on Oct. 30 at Monastery Immaculate Conception (Ferdinand, IN) where they will be the first performers in the new Mechtild of Hackeborn Music Series.

Sermon Series Week Number Five: Equip children By: Linda Klepacki, RN, MPH He was the last person she ever suspected, but the evidence against her new husband was undeniable.

The young mother of two little girls sobbed uncontrollably as her story unraveled. The man she thought was a loving husband and stepfather was now in jail – accused of repeatedly molesting one of her daughters.

As a police officer and major crimes detective, I have investigated numerous murders, suicides, accidental deaths, and brutal assaults. In my opinion, the physical, emotional, and sexual victimization of children is among the most despicable crimes.

The apostle Paul, in his

letter to the Romans, describes the natural progression of a culture bent on satisfying fleshly desires – a culture much like ours today.

Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God he gave them over to a depraved mind to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity.

(Romans 1:28-29, NIV) Parents who consider their children "safe" from sexual victimization live in false security and set a dangerous course for their families.

The U.S. Department of Justice reports that 67 percent of all sexual assault victims are children.

Another study by the National Center for Victims of Crime (2000) shows that 33 percent of girls (1 out of 3) are sexually abused before the age of 18. Sixteen percent of boys (roughly 1 out of 6) are sexually abused before the age of 18. These alarming figures demonstrate why parents must work diligently to keep their children out of potential risky situations and teach them what to do if someone tries to exploit them sexually.

The person most likely to sexually abuse your child is a person your child knows – and trusts. The sex offender looks for a child who trusts him and can be convinced to stay quiet about inappropriate physical contact. It could

be a family member, close relative, neighbor, or trusted youth worker.

Discussing sexuality and/or sexual abuse with your child can be uncomfortable, but in today's world responsible parents cannot afford to skirt the issue. Here are some practical suggestions to incorporate in your home: • Plan a specific time to sit down with your child to discuss sexual abuse.

• Explain to your child that God made their body very special. Every part of their body is good, but some parts of their body are private.

• Clearly identify for your child which parts of their anatomy are private.

If your child is young, consider sharing the above in-

formation during their bath time. Another idea is to have your child dress in a bathing suit and show them that all areas covered by a bathing suit are "private."

• Let your child know they must tell you if anyone touches them in the private areas – no matter who the person is, or what the person says to them.

Assure your child they will not be in trouble if they tell you they've been touched inappropriately – rather, you will be proud of them, and help them through the situation.

It is possible that when you have this conversation with your child, he or she may reveal inappropriate contact someone has had with them in the past. Listen closely to what your

child says, but avoid asking a lot of questions. Young children are sometimes quick to affirm information that may or may not be true. Instead, let your child know you believe them and love them. Report suspected sexual abuse to your local law enforcement agency, which will work to substantiate or rule out the information.

As parents, we will never completely eliminate the possibility that our child will be sexually abused there are simply too many factors outside of our control. Nonetheless, parents empower their children through simple conversation and love. A conversation with your child could save them, and you, a lifetime of pain.

The County Cookbook Selection by Zach Straw

Tarragon Corn

INGREDIENTS 4 Tbsp butter 1/2 cup chopped shallots (can sub onions) 3 cups corn (from about 4 ears of corn)* 1 Tbsp of an anise liqueur such as Ouzo, Pernod, Pastis or Sambuca (optional) • 1/2 teaspoon of salt if using unsalted butter, more to taste • 1 Tbsp packed, minced fresh tarragon • Dash of white pepper (or black pepper if white is unavailable) * If using fresh corn, to remove corn from the cob first remove the husks and strings. Stand the corn up with the tip down in a large shallow pan like a baking dish. Using a sharp chef’s knife, use long downward strokes to remove the corn kernels from the cob. You might find it easier to use a bundt pan to hold the ear of corn and catch the kernels. Or you can use a corn stripper.

DIRECTIONS 1. Melt the butter in a medium sized saucepan on medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.

2. Add the corn, salt, and anise liqueur if using (if not using, add 1 Tbsp water). Bring to a simmer, cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the corn is tender.

3. Remove from heat, stir in the tarragon. Add pepper and more salt to taste.

Free mammograms offered by St. Mary’s St. Mary’s Breast Center and St. Mary’s Hope Resource Center are offering free, digital mammograms (for those who qualify) as part of St. Mary’s “Sharing the Vision: Early Detection of Breast Cancer” and “Power of Hope: Breast Cancer Education and Screening.”

“Sharing the Vision” and “Power of Hope” collaborate with many different organizations in the Tri-State to make these screenings possible.

St. Mary’s is the only facility in Evansville and the only Tri-State hospital to offer mobile digital mammography. Digital pictures can be magnified, adjusted and previewed to see certain areas that regular film can not. There are fewer retakes and sharper images. Digital mammograms use less radiation, making them safer for patients. Women also receive faster results, usually within 24-48 hours.

“Sharing the Vision” is funded by a grant from the

Greater Evansville Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

“Power of Hope” is funded by a grant from the Indiana Breast Cancer Awareness Trust, Inc. Here are the dates, times and locations for the free screenings in August and September 2010.

• Good Samaritan Home (9 a.m. – 2 p.m.): 601 North Boeke Road, Evansville, Ind. Tuesday, August 17 • First United Methodist Church (10 a.m. – 3 p.m.): 801 East Walnut Street, Petersburg, Ind. Thursday, August 26 • Oak Grove Baptist Church (9 a.m. – 2 p.m.): Highway 64 West (805 West Morton Street), Oakland City, Ind. Thursday, September 9 • Goodwill Industries (9 a.m. – 2 p.m.): 500 South Green River Road, Evansville, Ind. Thursday, September 30 All screenings include

mammograms and education about breast health and early detection of breast cancer.

Participants must meet the following criteria to be eligible: • You must be between 35 to 40 years old to receive your baseline (or initial) mammogram.

• Annual mammograms should begin at age 40.

• You must be on a limited income, elderly or without insurance.

• Women with private insurance should bring their insurance card for billing purposes.

• It must have been at least one year since your last mammogram.

St. Mary’s “Sharing the Vision: Early Detection of Breast Cancer” recently received a grant in the amount of over $99,000 from the Greater Evansville Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation.

“This is the ninth year that St. Mary’s has had

the privilege of providing services through “Sharing the Vision: Early Detection of Breast Cancer,”” says Holly Neal, RN, Manager of St. Mary’s Breast Center. “The efforts of the program are made possible by funding provided by the Greater Evansville Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. It is through the collaboration of these two organizations that approximately 3,700 women have received mammograms and 48 women have been diagnosed with breast cancer.

“Sharing the Vision” provides much needed care in the Tri-State, utilizing St. Mary’s Breast Center mobile services to reach many women that otherwise could not or would not receive mammograms.”

Appointments for the free mammograms are necessary.

To schedule your screening or for more information, call St. Mary’s Hope Resource Center at 1-877-580-3883 or 812-485-5725.

The Posey Humane Society The Posey Humane Society is trying out a new program idea. The Barn Cat Program idea was developed as a way to find homes for cats that have been at the shelter for an extended time and help people who need cats to patrol their barns.

A chronic problem we’ve heard with barn cats is that they have repeated litters. Unfortunately, many of the kittens do not survive to adulthood due to wild animals, such as foxes, coyotes, etc. Ideally, PHS would like to see all animals have an Monie indoor home and plenty of loving interaction with humans. With the right conditions, barn cats can have safe, comfortable outside homes and still have good interaction with humans.

PHS currently has several cats, like the 2 pictured, that have been at the shelter for almost a year. Living in a cage that long is not a good environment for them either and they are eligible for the barn cat program. All have been spayed or neutered, eliminating the problem with kitten overpopulaKatie tion and decreasing the tendency to roam. Many have been raised together so they will be more likely to stay together. All are current on shots and have been well socialized with people.

Barn cats are available for a reduced adoption fee: $25.00 for one, $45.00 to adopt a pair. Other discounts apply for multiple adoptions.

Our featured dog for this week Sienna is Sienna, a 5 month old female minpin/rat terrier mix. Sienna is an energetic little girl, very friendly, who would do best in a place where she can romp and stretch her legs a bit.

Call the PHS shelter at 838-3211 to ask about any of the above animals or view the over 100 others that we have housed at the facility.

~ 6500 Leonard Road, Mt. Vernon, IN. ~ PHS hours are from 12:00 – 6:00 Thursday-Sunday. Appointments for viewing or for surrenders may be made on other days by calling 838-3211. Go to www.poseyhumane.org for more information on events and to view other animals available for adoption.

WMI News Whether it is called Stillwell, Winfield, Rapture or Bugtown, almost all that is left of the village today is memories. Like so many small hamlets across our country, the bustling life of a century ago is nearly forgotten. The WMI is fortunate to have in the Leland Alfred Anderson Collection some remembrances of a town that a number of Posey County folks lovingly called home. Let’s remember Bugtown from the words of Leland Anderson.

No one knows who the first settler was that built a log cabin and later named the village Rapture and then Winfield and now Bugtown. By 1860 and on to 1910 it was a flourishing little village with 11 homes housing 11 families with a population of about 50.

Over the 50 year span there has been a post office, saloon, blacksmith shop and farm implement store, general store, drug store and in later years a barber shop, feed grinding, grocery and a baseball field with a well known winning ball club.

In 1942 the last grocery store was closed. By the 1970’s there were only 5 houses with two people living in two of them. But memories of days past linger. The following two anecdotes are from the Anderson collection.

The Winfield “Bugtown” store was the neighborhood gathering place every night and on bad weather days. One evening before the Christmas holidays the store had received a shipment of fire works such as fire crackers, roman can-

ecutive director of the Arts Council, will present the contracts for the awards assisted by Shannon Hurt, activities and publications director. A total of $97,238 in grant funds has been appropriated from the Indiana State Legislature in conjunction with funds from the National Endowment for the Arts. The State of Indiana, through the Indiana Arts Commission, is committed to a fair and equitable distribution of these public monies. The grant applications were adjudicated by an independent volunteer panel and approved by the Board of

Commissioners of the IAC. The grants were also approved by the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana’s Board of Directors.

As a Regional Arts Partner, the ACSWI is responsible for the stewardship of the local application, adjudication, and delivery processes associated with these grants. Grant awards for FY2011 will be awarded to organizations in Knox, Posey, Vanderburgh, and Warrick counties.

Adoption workers help special needs children in China Families Thru International Adoption (FTIA) would like to announce their Journey of Hope program which is designed to help place special needs children from China in need of families. FTIA was selected by the China Center of Adoption Affairs to sponsor this wonderful program.

Two FTIA staff members Betty Betz, China Program Manager, and Cindy Scheller, Director of Social Work Services, recently traveled to China along with two doctors, one from Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis, to meet the children and to prepare medical assessments of each child. They traveled to the Jiangsu province to meet with 40

children whose files have been assigned exclusively to FTIA. They were able to play with, interview, evaluate, and video each child to learn as much as they could about each child’s needs, personalities, and dreams of a family. Families Thru International Adoption will have one year to find families for these children.

Betty Betz, is also an adoptive mother to Sela, who was adopted from China at 5 years old. Sela who is now 13 years old, accompanied her mother on the trip to China. According to Betz, “Sela was a valuable part of this trip as she was able to share with the children her experiences.”

“The Children we met

were all so awesome and shared one very special need – the need for a family. Since we’ve returned, there hasn’t been a day pass that we don’t think about these children and how we can make their wish for a family come true,” said Betz.

In order to learn more about the children, please visit www.ftia.org and follow the Journey of Hope link. There potential adopting parents can view a photo and brief background on the 37 remaining children. Upon entering the link there is detailed instructions on how to proceed if interested. In order to have access to a specific child’s entire file, the potential parents should mail or fax

FTIA an application (no initial fee required). Once the application has been received and approved by FTIA, the entire file can be sent to the family.

For more information on the Journey of Hope program, please contact Betty Betz at 812-479-9900/ 888-797-9900 or bbetz@ ftia.org.

Families Thru International Adoption is a notfor-profit state-licensed child placement agency specializing in international adoptions and providing humanitarian and development projects. FTIA world headquarters is in Evansville, Indiana with offices in several states and overseas. FTIA is committed to providing assistance to children around the world.

Rappites select Little, Toopes to lead basketball programs

By Pam Robinson The New Harmony School Board heard introductions from several new staff members at their Thursday, August 12, meeting. Among those present were new varsity boys’ basketball coach Jim Little and his counterpart, new varsity girls’ basketball coach Jennie Toopes. Little and Toopes have coached together previously at Boonville High School, where Little has enjoyed teaching for 27 years and continues as a high school history teacher.

The two coaches are excited to be working together to build the New Harmony School basketball program.

After the meeting, they talked by phone and email about their goals for the coming season.

“They [the boys] had a nice team last year that seemed to be well coached. They won 12 games; however, they came up short in the sectional. My first goal would be to lead the team to their first sectional championship,” Little says. “Another goal would be to put together more winning seasons and go beyond 13 wins in one season [the most wins in one season since 1995].”

Yet another goal Little has

set “is to get enough players out for basketball to have full varsity and junior varsity squads. I would love to have a freshman team one day,” he says. “I am curious to see how many students will come out for basketball.

I think there are only 30 boys in grades 9-12. NHS is a top academic school and is starting to attract some new students. Hopefully, some will be interested in athletics as well as academics.”

Little plans to start conditioning and open gyms on Tuesday, August 17, so he will find out numbers at that time. “From what I have been told,” he comments, “there are four players returning out of the top seven. I watched some films from last year and was impressed. I hope that some of the other players are ready to step up and help the varsity team this year.”

He adds that he wants his players to participate in extra basketball in the pre-season.

“I would like to get them to go down to the Evansville Basketball Academy and play in the high school league on Monday nights. All players are eligible to participate in the EBA league, but there can only be three NHS players on each team. I will start

encouraging the younger players to do some off-season basketball as well in the spring.”

Little’s coaching experience started at Jasper High School in 1983 when he coached 7th grade football as well as 5th grade and 8th grade basketball. At Boonville High School, he’s coached varsity girls basketball (1996-2002), junior varsity girls’ basketball (19851996), junior varsity baseball (1984-1996), 9th grade football (1988-1997 and 20032010) and 9th grade basketball (1984 to the present).

He and his wife Tedra, an educational specialist at Vincennes University, have been married over 31 years. Little says his wife is his “biggest supporter.” The LIttles have two children. Their 29-yearold son Jason, a former Division I wrestler, spent four years in the Army and since then has worked for private security companies. All told, he’s made 19 trips to Afghanistan and Iraq—“the reason for my white hair,” Coach Little states. Now, Jason is in New Orleans helping with the Gulf Oil cleanup. Their daughter Lucy is a senior majoring in elementary and special education at the University of Southern Indiana.

She plans to follow in her dad’s footsteps and coach as well once she graduates.

“The [New Harmony] community was unbelievable,” Little says. “I was sold on becoming a coach just from going there. You can’t help but fall in love with the community.”

New Harmony School’s girls’ basketball coach Jennie Toopes shares Little’s enthusiasm for the New Harmony community. A Lynnville area native, Toopes made New Harmony her home two years ago when her husband of 8 years Tony joined the Posey County Sheriff’s office. The couple’s oldest son Tyler is in 7th grade at Pike Central High School while their younger son Tanner will start second grade at New Harmony School. Toopes works full time in admitting at Deaconess Women’s Hospital.

“I am very excited to be involved in my son’s school and very passionate about the game of basketball,” she says. “I have the opportunity to work with some of the girls this summer. We played in a summer league at Boonville and also a shoot out at Pike Central. I know what I have seen so far, and I look forward to working with the girls and getting to know them better this season. I hope for the team to improve every day and to be very competitive this season.

We are going to be a very young team this year. I feel our strong point will be our aggressive defense.”

This year is Toopes’ 15th year to coach high school girls. She coached 8th grade at Tecumseh her first year out of high school, then was their junior varsity coach for 4 years. The next 4 years, she coached freshman girls at Evansville Harrison. For the past five years, she’s been at Boonville.

Athletic Director Tabby Farrar says she is looking forward to working with all the coaches at New Harmony School. In addition to Little and Toopes, Emily Pruitt will coach varsity volleyball along with assistant Sandy Ricketts while Marty Crispino and Zach Weinzapfel will coach varsity soccer. Shawn Worman has been named assistant girls’ basketball coach; the assistant coach for boys’ basketball will be named at a later date.

In other business: • The board accepted the resignation of Margaret Scherzinger and confirmed the employment of Emily Pruitt as junior high volleyball coach; Sandy Ricketts as assistant volleyball coach; Tyler Howe as volunteer volleyball assistant; Jeff Smotherman as softball volunteer; Steve Morris as junior high basketball assistant; Jessica South as exceptional learners’ teacher; Danielle Rush as 3 ¾ hours a day afterschool coordinator at $15 an hour, aide for ¾ hours a day and 3/7 time music teacher with up to 15 additional hours per year to conduct parent train-

Posey County shows Relay generosity

By Valerie Werkmeister It may be tough economic times, but you would be hard pressed to notice that in our small North Posey community. Just being able to say that a total sum of $76,246.16 has been raised to date by the North Posey Relay for Life brings feelings of humble satisfaction.

The overwhelming outpouring of support for the fight against cancer is truly amaz-

ing. There are just two short weeks left to collect any remaining funds for the 2010 season. Anyone who would like to make a contribution can do so by contacting Carolyn Higginson at 8743184, Alice Simmons at Al’s Place in Poseyville at 8743118 or by visiting Ruthie Kissel at Fifth Third Bank in Poseyville.

Committee members enjoyed their final meeting for

this year with a cook-out at the home of Mary and Mark Peach. During the meeting, it was determined that next year’s Relay for Life will be held on June 25 and 26. A few more key dates to mark on the calendar include the 2011 kick-off meeting on January 10 at 6 p.m., the Posey County Farm Bureau Co-op dinner slated for Thursday, February 24, and the annual card party to be

Posey County Soil and Water Tree Sale underway The Posey County Soil & Water Conservation District is partnering with Woody Warehouse for the 2010 Tree Sale. Orders will be taken through Friday, September 16th. Trees will be ready for pick up Saturday, October 2 from 7:30 to 9 a.m. in the Exhibit Hall at the fairgrounds.

Trees are grown with the Root Force System®. RFS trees are produced using a 3-step air root pruning system that stimulates lateral

root production. RFS trees are superior young trees from known parent stock.

The seed is gathered in the fall and started in wood heated propagation houses.

By fall they are ready to plant in their final location.

RFS trees have such a welldeveloped root system, they virtually begin growing as soon as they are planted.

Container grown trees are planted in the fall. With the coming spring, these trees have the root power to grow.

They are easy to plant, have high survival rates and give quick results.

Available species include: Autumn Blaze Maple, Bald Cypress, Black Chokeberry, Bur Oak, Red Bud, Red Oak, Red Osier Dogwood, River Birch, Shumard Oak and Swamp White Oak. All trees are $20.

For an order form, please call the district at 812-8384191, extension 3 or e-mail to jeri.ziliak@in.nacdnet. net

Posey County voters may vote online July 1, 2010 the registered voters of Posey County gained the ability to register to vote online. Online voter registration has become the newest addition to www. indianavoters.com and will allow Indiana residents to submit a voter registration application electronically to the appropriate county voter registration office.

Indiana residents with a valid Indiana driver’s license or Indiana State –issued identification card will be able to use this new tool to submit a new voter registration application or to update an existing voter registration record.

Historically, voters have most commonly registered Customer appreciation... by mail using a paper-based Jeff Wright, owner of the Poseyville Service Center, traded his wrench for a spatula application form or have during the jointly held Customer Appreciation Day with McCullough’s Auto Parts. registered in – person at our county voter registration Customers enjoyed a free lunch on August 10.

office, the Indiana Election Division or a branch office the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

Online Voter Registration is the result of legislation passed by the Indiana General Assembly in 2009 with bipartisan support that called for enhancements to the traditional paper-based registration system. States adopting on online voter registration option have seen a 60-70 percent shift away from paper-based registrations over time.

A similar shift in Indiana would greatly reduce pressure on the county election administrators to facilitate data entry, especially during peak times at the close of the voter registration period.

Applicants will be required to verify their voting

eligibility and personal information, which will then be cross-referenced with databases from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Voters will instantly receive a confirmation of their application that they can print.

Once confirmed online, the county’s voter registration office will approve or reject registrations subject to the same criteria used for other applicants, such as residency or incarceration following conviction of a crime.

Indiana residents have until midnight on Monday, October 4, 2010 to register in order to participate in the November 2010 General Election.

United Way Pacesetter campaign to begin Sept. 16 Again this year, the Metropolitan School District of Mount Vernon is one of the Pacesetters for the United Way campaign. They will run their United Way campaign during August and results are announced at the United Way of Posey County campaign kick-off on September 16th, to help get the United Way campaign off to a good start.

For the first time this year 6 Posey County Schools will be Pacesetters for the United Way of Posey County campaign. Keith Spurgeon, campaign chairman, said “We are happy to have such an important part of the Posey County Community as Pacesetters for our United Way campaign.”

The Metropolitan School District of Mount Vernon (MSDMV) employs a total of over 400 individuals, including 163 faculty mem-

bers and administrators, five registered nurses, 67 teacher assistants and secretaries, 66 other support staff, 31 custodial and maintenance personnel, and 38 cafeteria personnel. It has 34 bus routes that travel 1,393 miles daily and transport 1,792 students every day that school is in session.

The MSDMV provides a comprehensive system of programs and services built on a conservative philosophy that learning is the basic function of the school system.

The core curriculum consists of traditional subjects designed to teach students necessary basic skills. The basic curriculum is enhanced with ancillary programs to enrich students physically, socially, and intellectually.

Computer technology is heavily integrated into the instructional process across all grade levels. State of the

art hardware and software presented by trained teachers affords students unique opportunities to combine high tech experiences with basic skills instruction to increase student motivation. Students receive instruction in the elementary computer labs 2-3 times weekly. Multimedia facilities and the Internet are also available for integration into the curriculum. All classrooms have Internet access. A Lab Assistant is available to assist teachers and students in the lab or classroom. Students benefit from a commitment by the school district to provide extensive opportunity for technologyassisted instruction.

Outstanding programs in Art, Music, and Physical Education are available in all three elementary schools.

Both Industrial Technology and Family and Consumer Science are available to both

boys and girls in the junior and senior high schools.

Full and part-time classes are available for the mildly mentally disabled, learning disabled and emotionally disabled children. Occupational, physical, and speech and hearing therapies are also available.

Home/school advisors, school nurses, guidance counselors, librarians, and homebound instructors are just a few of the special services the MSDMV provides.

Numerous support programs and services are provided to students including Special Education and Vocational transportation, food services, counseling, High Ability programs, and programs for students who are at risk academically, socially, and intellectually.

High Ability Education is a K-12 program for identified students. The focus is on

academic areas of Language Arts, Social Studies, Mathematics, and Science. Advance Mathematics classes and electives are available in Grades 7-8.

The Title 1 Program includes reading assistants supporting teachers in the teaching of reading and math to small groups of qualifying students at elementary schools.

The MSD of Mount Vernon has three elementary schools: Farmersville, Marrs, and West. These schools house the K-5th grades, with Farmersville also containing a pre-school class. All three schools feed into the Mount Vernon Junior High School and the Mount Vernon Senior High School. Mount Vernon high school was remodeled in 1990, a new junior high was constructed in 1991, and Marrs was remodeled in 1993. Farmersville

and West elementary schools completed an extensive remodeling program in 2009 that resulted in two beautiful, yet functional facilities. Now all students are able to attend class in updated facilities that offer modern, innovative programs to help every child achieve his or her potential.

This year’s campaign goal is $620,000. Funds raised in the United Way Campaign go to support 21 local agencies and more than 75 programs that provide services to the people of Posey County, including 2-1-1, the easy-toremember number to call for information and assistance about needs and resources, and the new prescription drug discount program. For more information about services provided by the United Way of Posey County or volunteer opportunities available, call 838-3637 or email uwposey@sbcglobal.net.

Vikings show good, bad, and ugly in scrimmage

By Dave Pearce It was hot.

That would probably be the best way to sum up the North Posey Vikings’ scrimmage against the North Knox Warriors on Friday night. The time was pushed back from 6 to 7 p.m. due to the heat and the distance the Warriors traveled.

The most exciting thing that happened on the field all evening for the Vikings happened near the end of the evening when the reserves were taking their snaps. Senior Cameron Calvert, who had already faced a shoulder surgery in the off season, joined his teammates on the field with only an arm wrapped.

Ordinarily, that would not be a key event. But this was different. Calvert had been involved in an automobile accident on his way to the game and the extent of his injuries was unknown until he walked into the game. His vehicle had been struck and had rolled over three times. However, thanks to a seat belt, Calvert suffered what was determined to be only minor injuries and is expected to be able to resume where he left off conditioning to play this season.

But besides Calvert, North Posey Coach Carl “Joe” Gengelbach saw about what he expected to see out of his troops in the outing.

“We had a lot of young kids playing tonight and we are Members of the North Posey defensive line intends to stop this run, however, Alex Goebel jumps in and gets the job going to be young this year, and especially with Calvert out done prior to any gain during Friday night’s scrimmage against North Knox. The Vikings saw promise as well as room tonight but I thought Derek Voegel did a good job and is for improvement in the scrimmage. Waiting in the wings to help make the tackle are Austin Little, Mitchell Kuhn, and getting better,” Gengelbach said. “But defensively, I thought our younger kids really picked it up and I thought our older Derek Voegel. Photo by Dave Pearce kids actually played pretty solid.”

The evening served its purpose in showing where the team needs to improve. Gengelbach, beginning his 42nd season, did not deny the fact that his team made some mistakes. But he plans to review the tapes and see what he can do to help the team improve before they open the season for real next week at South Spencer.

“Like every other coach in Southern Indiana, we will be burning that film up over the weekend. We gave up one long run and that was against mostly our second guys in there,” he explained. “They have a good quick back and if we were playing them during the season, he’s the type of kid that we would know where he was every minute.”

There was more good news from the scrimmage, as well.

To Gengelbach’s knowledge, none of the players on his team suffered injuries so they will be able to begin work Monday preparing to open the regular season and the Pocket Athletic Conference season in Reo. “I thought the kids played hard and that’s really what we were looking to make sure they would do. I thought our backs fought well and ran hard and our offensive line came off the ball well and knew what they were doing.” Gengelbach continued. “I saw some things that we really need to sharpen up on but that’s what this was for.”

While the Vikings have several players returning in key spots, the actual number of seniors on the team is minimal.

“Alex Maile, Brandon Baumgart, Connor Cain, and Orry Weiss all stepped in and played well for us tonight,” Gengelbach said. “Orry is getting his chance to play and he is giving us some depth that we need. And we just don’t have very many seniors on either side of the ball but Cameron Calvert will certainly be one that we will count on. The automobile accident put him out of commission for tonight.”

Gengelbach teams of the distant past were the old-fashioned grind it out on the ground teams. But in the past few years, he has incorporated more passing into the offense as his players have enabled him to do. But this year, he believes the team has enough balance to keep opponents guessing.

That could be bad news for teams lining up against the Vikings.

“When we get everyone going the way we want to, I think we can really balance it up a lot this year,” Gengelbach said.

“I thought we threw the ball well tonight and for the most Brittlebank Swim Team held their end-of-season celebration banquet at Trinity Church this week.

Wildcats deal with an unknown quantity, quality in the early going

By Steve Joos So Coach Paul Maier, how will your Mount Vernon football team perform this season? “It’s hard to tell right now,� Maier said. “We’ve looked very good at times.�

Like many other outdoor fall sports teams, the extreme heat has made it difficult to gauge just how good the Cats will be, Maier said, adding that it may take a few games for Mount Vernon to develop.

But they’re plugging away and the team is working hard in order to get better.

Maier thought that his team did all right in Friday’s scrimmage against visiting South Spencer, but there wasn’t anything definite

about what happened. “We did okay,� the coach said. “It was soso. Nothing really bad, nothing really good, it’s just hard to tell.�

Maier was pleased with the opportunity to play another team, but that was about he could say for the scrimmage. There were some positives in the scrimmage, but the coach felt the Cats had trouble executing, got off to a slow start and struggled with their passing game.

The team performed in last week’s scrimmage against visiting South Spencer, but he said that would change this week as the Wildcats prepare for their season opener at Tell City.

“South Spencer’s a very good team and should have a very good year,� the coach said. “But we have to play better.�

The Wildcats have a number of seniors this season and Maier is hoping that their experience and leadership will be a strength, but he feels that it’s too soon to tell what the team’s strong pints will be.

Passing was not a strength against the Rebels, but the coach thought it might be a strength after watching Mount Vernon in summer conditioning. Right now, its wait and see, he said.

Offensively, quarterback Jason Stemple and receiver Tim Davis will be key players

for the Cats, while linebacker Aaron Choate, cornerback Will Terbreck and linemen Teddy O’Connell, Jacob Ewers and Andy Hart will lead the defense. First-year senior Trey Finch will also help out, as Maier is counting on the seniors to push the rest of the team.

As for the competition, Maier isn’t certain about the teams Mount Vernon will face this season, other than to say that his team will have to be ready. “We’re going to push them every week,� he said. “Our only expectation is that we’re going to push them every week to get better.�

As for anything else, that’s hard to say right now.

The county auditor and county treasurer will apply on or after 8/27/2010 for a court judgment against the tracts or real property for an amount that is not less than the amount set out below and for an order to sell the tracts or real property at public auction to the highest bidder, subject to the right of redemption. Any defense to the application for judgment must be filed with the Posey County CIRCUIT Court and served on the county auditor and treasurer before 8/27/2010. The court will set a date for a hearing at least seven (7) days before the advertised date of sale and the court will determine any defenses to the application for judgment at the hearing.

The county auditor and the county treasurer are entitled to receive all pleadings, motions, petitions, and other filings related to the defense to the application for judgment.

Such sale will be held on 9/13/2010 at the Memorial Lobby (126E 3rd Street) and that sale will continue until all tracts and real property have been offered for sale.

Property will not be sold for an amount which is less than the sum of: (A) the delinquent taxes and special assessments on each tract or item of real property; and (B) the taxes and special assessments on the real property that are due and payable in the year of the sale, whether or not they are delinquent; and (C) all penalties due on the delinquencies, and (D) an amount prescribed by the county auditor that equals the sum of: (1) twenty-five($25) for postage and publication costs; and (2) any other costs incurred by the county that are directly attributable to the tax sale; and (E) any unpaid costs due under IC 6-1.1-24-2(b) from a prior tax sale; and No property listed below shall be sold if, at any time before the sale, the Total Amount for Judgment is paid in full. If the real property is sold in the tax sale, the amount required to redeem such property will be 110% of the minimum bid for which the tract or real property was offered at the time of sale, as required by IC 6-1.1-245 if redeemed not more than six (6) months after the date of sale, or 115% of the minimum bid for which the tract or real property was offered at the time of sale, as required by IC 6-1.1-24-5 if redeemed more than six (6) months after the date of sale, plus the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the minimum bid on the real property plus ten percent (10%) per annum on the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the minimum bid on the property. All taxes and special assessments upon the property paid by the purchaser subsequent to the sale, plus 10% per annum interest on those taxes and special assessments, will also be required to be paid to redeem such property.

In addition, IC 6-1.1-25-2 (e) states the total amount required for redemption may include the following costs incurred and paid by the purchaser or the purchaser’s assignee or the county before redemption: (1) The attorney’s fees and cost of giving notice under IC 6-1.1-25-4.5. (2) The costs of title search or examining and update the abstract of title for the tract or item of real property. The period of redemption shall expire on Tuesday, September 13, 2011 for an initial offering. The period of redemption may expire Tuesday, January 11, 2011 for certificates not sold.

If the tract or item of real property is sold for an amount more than the minimum bid and the property is not redeemed, the owner of record of the property who is divested of ownership at the time the tax deed is issued may have a right to the tax sale surplus.

The Auditor and Treasurer specifically reserve the right to withhold from the sale any parcel which has been listed in error, or which otherwise becomes ineligible for sale either prior to 9/13/2010 or during the duration of the sale.

Juvenile arrested on attempted murder charge On August 12, 2010 at about 1:45 a.m. officers responded to a complaint of a disturbance in the area of Fourth and Mill streets in Mount Vernon.

Officers Thomas Rueger and Alan Middleton responded to the complaint and located, a 15-year-old juvenile and other witnesses to the altercation. They all stated that another 15-yearold suspect had pulled a gun on the juvenile and attempted to shoot him.

Officers searched the area and located a Hawes Magnum .22 caliber handgun in

the bed of a pick up truck parked in the area. The gun was loaded and the hammer was cocked.

Upon further inspection of the gun, the round in the chamber showed markings that would indicate that the suspect had pulled the trigger and attempted to fire it.

This matched statements by the victim and witnesses indicating the suspect had pulled the trigger of the gun.

The gun also matched the description the victim and witnesses had given concerning the weapon the sus-

pect had pointed during the incident.

The juvenile suspect, as well as another juvenile who was with him during the incident, was located at the juvenile’s home shortly after the incident had taken place.

The juvenile with the gun was arrested on preliminary charges of attempted murder and possession of a handgun without a license The juvenile was taken into custody and placed in a juvenile detention, facility. The second juvenile was detained on a charge of curfew violation.

Two see the results of drug possession Following a citizen complaint on May 3, 2010 of suspicious activity at the Co-Op Grain Elevator in Griffin, officers and reserve officers from the Posey County Sheriff’s Department responded to the scene.

Officers found a clandestine methamphetamine lab near the Co-Op elevators, John Gall was observed walking in the area and got into a nearby pick-up truck.

Officers approached the pickup truck and located Maylaya Stofleth and John Gahl.

The Posey County Narcotics Unit responded and inventoried a number of items commonly seen in the clandestine manufacture of methamphetamine.

Items were submitted to the Indiana State Police Laboratory. Analysis showed methamphetamine in the liquid state. In addition, the forensics team was able to identify two halves of a plastic bottle, one found in the truck, the other at the lab site, as being two parts of the same bottle.

This evidence was presented at jury trial in the

Posey Superior Court in front of Judge S. Brent Almon on July 8 and 9.

Chief Deputy Prosecutor Jake Warrum secured a finding of guilty on all counts during the trial.

Sentencing was held on August 11, 2010, Judge Almon sentenced Stofleth to seven years in the Indiana Department of Corrections. Five years of that sentence was ordered executed with two years on probation.

John Gahl remains Town workers in New Harmony prepare to put a new water line into the old launlodged at the Posey County dromat building after the pipe burst under the concrete floor of the structure.

Jail awaiting trial.

Linda Alsop works hard for Harmony Linda Alsop represents the sixth generation of her family in New Harmony. Born to Linwood and Gladys (Chaffin) Alsop, she is an only child, just like her mother. At 73 years old, Alsop prefers solitude now, occasionally stepping out of the house where she’s lived all her life to have dinner with friends.

Still, she recalls a New Harmony where almost everyone, including herself, lived the part of a good neighbor.

Alsop knew everyone in town, and they knew her, sometimes even better than she knew herself. She grins as she says she would just take a walk downtown if she ever needed to be sure what she was doing. Her grandfather Charles Chaffin owned the saloon downtown until Prohibition put him out of business.

Resourceful, he then opened a novelty store complete with penny candy, still a topic of conversation among New Harmony residents.

She remembers with special fondness how her parents and their neighbors took turns hosting Christmas dinner at their homes for as many as eight families. She laughs when she considers how no one in their cluster really liked the traditional Christmas fare of turkey. Instead, they all decided to start their own tradition of preparing Christmas ham and steak. Of course, no one required a special occasion to help a neighbor in need.

They watched out for one another, and bore each other’s heartaches as well as joys.

As a young adult in 1955, Alsop joined the New Harmony chapter of Tri-Kappa, a women’s service

1.9%

organization. In addition, she cared for two of her aging women neighbors until they died. She drove them to doctors’ appointments.

She tilled and planted a garden to share with one of the women. Even today, she still drives a few friends to appointments and activities. Although she’s an associate (retired) member of Tri-Kappa now, she also volunteers once a month as a hostess at the Hoosier Salon art gallery.

Alsop built a nearly 40-year career as a bookkeeper. She got her start with the Blaffer Trust, working there three years before moving to New Harmony School, where she served nine years. Once she moved to D.K. Parker Co., she stayed there 27 years before she retired.

She and her cat, Alexander, enjoy bird watching now.

POSEY COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS AND AVENTINE:

BUILDING A BRIGHTER TOMORROW! More Informa on on Ethanol Aven ne Renewable Energy, Inc. produces quality ethanol for use in cleaner burning ethanol-blended gasolines. Using ethanol as an alterna ve provides excellent benefits to consumers, taxpayers, the economy and the environment. Sig-

nificant opportuni es exist for fuel ethanol to grow in importance as a motor fuel component in the 21st century as countries around the world look to ethanol-blended gasolines to reduce air pollu on in their most polluted ci es. Etha-

nol produc on will con nue to increase as the U.S. looks at alterna ve fuels to help reduce our country’s dependence on imported energy, which improves the balance of trade and keeps jobs at home.

What is Fuel Ethanol: Ethanol is a domes c, renewable fuel that is used as a highquality octane enhancer and, as an oxygenate, capable of reducing air pollu on and improving automobile performance.

We expect ethanol-blends to account for more than 60 percent of total U.S. gasoline supply in 2008. Since the late 1970s, ethanol produc on has been growing rapidly. By the end of 2007, annual ethanol capicty in the U.S. had grown to 7.5 billion gallons per year.

The U.S. Environmental Protec on Agency considers ozone to

be the most widespread air pollu on problem. Ethanol is widely used in reformulated gasolines sold in urban ci es that fail to meet public health standards for ozone. Since ethanol contains oxygen, it contributes to a cleaner, more efficient combus on of gasoline, which results in lower carbon monoxide (CO) emissions from automobiles. Ethanol-blended gasolines reduce CO emissions up to 25 percent. Ethanol can also be used to help reduce ozone-forming emissions, par culates and nitrogen oxides from gasoline.

Advantages of Using Ethanol: • • •

A domes c, safe source of energy A renewable source of clean burning fuel, reducing carbon monoxide emissions and greenhouse gases An economic octane enhancer and oxygenate

• • •

Creates an increased demand for corn Provides more than 238,000 American jobs S mulates rural economies

Wildcat volleyball looks to build on success of last year, improve tourney play

By Steve Joos Mount Vernon volleyball coach Andrea Alford is happy with the way things are starting out for her team.

“We had a really strong turnout this summer,” Alford said.

“A lot of these girls have been here since summer conditioning started. We’ve had a pretty solid start form the first day of preseason. I’m not content, but I’m pleased with where we’re starting off.”

The Lady Cats should be more aggressive at the service line and they have a good energy and team chemistry on the court, something which is always important, according to the coach.

Finishing off a point is still a concern, something Alford saw in Tuesday’s scrimmage at Tecumseh. “Overall, it was OK,” she said. “Every scrimmage each year shows me how we are against another team and what we are doing well and what we aren’t doing well. It was a good starting point for us, I feel like.”

The returning letterwinners will be key to this year’s success, Alford said, staring with big senior Carynn Koch, who has been a force in both the front and back row. J.C. Ritzert is a strong hitter who needs to work on her consistency, while sophomore Meagan Martin is a setter who’s getting used to her role of feeding the ball to the other players.

There are also a number of underclassmen who have stepped up in practice and will help out during the season.

And the competition?

“The usual,” said. “Boonville, Jasper, Mater Dei, Memorial. What we face every year. We really struggled last year with our tournament play, we did really well throughout the season, but our tournament play hurt our overall record.

That’s always going to be challenge, but I think our biggest competition is going to be ourselves. We’re going to have learn how to play under pressure in different situations. If we

Back: Assistant Coach Michelle Northrop, Jacey Ritzert, Livia Hopper, Carynn Koch, Megan Montgomery, Megan Martin, and Head Coach Andi Allford. Photo by Terri Koch can perform up to our standards, I think we can take some good competition.”

Alford want her team to shoot for an over .500 record this season, perhaps racking up as many as 20 wins. She wants her team to try for a Sectional crows and beat some of the teams which have been nemesis for the Lady Cats over the years.

Right now, she’s excited about the season and hopes the Lady Wildcats will finish as well as they’ve started.

Public Hearing for deer hunting regulations set for August A public hearing has been scheduled for two administrative rule packages that involve a number of potential changes to the deer hunting and hunter education regulations.

The public hearing will be Aug. 13 at the Canyon Inn at McCormick’s Creek State Park in the Oak Room. The park is located near Spencer in Owen County. A map is at: IN.gov/ dnr/parklake/2392.htm At 5 p.m. (EDT), the Natural Resources Commission (NRC) hearing officer will take comments on rule changes governing the general deer hunting and hunting education requirements in the "Deer Housekeeping Package." At 6 p.m., the hearing officer will take comments on a proposal to allow a youth hunter to take either an antlered or antlerless deer during the special youth deer season.

Some of the specifics of the proposed changes follow. For a full listing, see IN.gov/dnr/fishwild/2362.htm Youth Deer Hunting Season – Puts in permanent rule the ability for a youth hunter to use a rifle with the cartridges specified in the rule – Changes the age of youth who can hunt during this special season to those under the age of 18 instead of those under the age of 16 – Would allow a youth hunter to take either a buck or a doe during the special youth deer season. If the youth hunters takes a buck during this special season, the youth hunter would not be able to take another buck during any of the other seasons that year (except during the urban deer season in an urban deer zone).

General Deer Hunting – Allows archery equipment and firearms to be loaded, or capable of being fired, before and after lawful shooting hours – Allows legal archery equipment and a firearm to be possessed during the firearms season, as long as the person possesses both an archery and a firearm license – Allows legal archery equipment and a muzzleloader to be possessed during the muzzleloader season, as long as the person possesses both an archery and a muzzleloader license – Clarifies licensing and tagging requirements to make sure

the person who killed the deer puts his/her name on the tag and that the deer is recorded at the check station in the name of the person who killed the deer Public comments on all of the proposed changes can be sent to the NRC by going to IN.gov/nrc/2377.htm, scrolling down to the “Fish and Wildlife: Deer Housekeeping Rule” or “Fish and Wildlife: Youth Deer Season,” and clicking on the appropriate link.

All comments must be submitted no later than Monday, Aug.17. The comments will be provided to NRC members and DNR staff, and will be posted on the Internet and in a paper docket as part of the final report.

A copy of the public hearing report for each rule package will be available at IN.gov/nrc prior to final consideration by the NRC, which likely will take place Sept. 22. If approved by the NRC, attorney general and governor, most changes will become effective later this year.

Even if the NRC approves the change to allow a youth hunter to take an antlered or antlerless deer during the special youth deer season, the rule change will not be in effect this year.

Mount Vernon cross country faces familiar circumstances

By Steve Joos The boys have a mixture of experience and the girls will concentrate on individual improvement.

If that sounds familiar, it may be because that’s the prospects in a nutshell for the Mount Vernon cross country teams again.

There‘s a talented mixture of youth and experience on the Wildcat boys’ team, while the girls will have some quality, even if they’re one runner shy of a full team.

Boys’ coach Tim Searcy is pleased with his team’s progress, but thinks it will take some time to see where the Cats

Looking for a GREAT SELECTION of Tires?

will finish.

Mount Vernon has three returning varsity runners, including Ken Renshaw, D.A. Wilson (both seniors) and junior Sean Ritzert, each of whom the coach thinks will help the team.

Inexperience could be a problem, Searcy said, but then again, it might not be.

“Overall, as a team, our biggest weakness may just be that we’re a little too young,” Searcy said. “But that could also be strength too. Sometimes not knowing about teams, about people, not know about things, could help. I’ve been there, I’ve done that when I was younger so this could help us, it could hurt us.”

There are five freshmen on this year’s team in addition to six returning runners. In addition to the starters, junior Ryan Dick and sophomore Jeff Powell will be counted on to help out, while Searcy would like to see his freshmen step up.

Memorial and Mater Dei will be strong competition this season, while Jasper and Washington will be formidable in the conference. Harrison and some of the other perennial powers will give the Wildcats trouble, but there might be some surprises.

“Our expectations are the same each season,” Searcy said.

“One is to have a chance to win conference. We have a team that we think has chance to win the conference. We want to be competitive in the Sectionals, we want to qualify for Regionals and we want to qualify for Semistate. Those are our main goals every year and once we get into the season, we’ll adjust for that.”

The season will also tell Searcy more about the competition and how well they should do, as well.

The Lady Wildcats started out the 2009 campaign with a full contingent of girls, but injuries decimated the squad and left Mount Vernon with just three runners, once again, not enough for a team score.

This season, coach Jenny Ploetz is starting out with just four runners (five are needed for a team score), but they are very capable ones.

“We’ve been doing well,” she said. “We’ve been struggling with the hot weather, but we’re persevering.”

Two Lady Cats are doing more than just persevering. Runners Olivia Baldwin and Brianna Ries are back and they have been doing well. Ries was one of the Mount Vernon runners to earn All-Big Eight honors last year, while Baldwin came close. They’re joined by Ashton Fuelling and Callie Singler (a sophomore and the only Mount Vernon runner who isn’t a junior), both good athletes who are giving cross country a shot for the first time.

Ploetz doesn’t anticipate any more runners coming out for the team, adding that she had approached a few girls, but they haven’t been out yet.

The Evansville schools will provide the Lady Cats with their toughest competition, the coach added, but she was quick to point out that the emphasis will be on individual achievement.

“Two of our three girls last year were all-conference,” Ploetz explained. “This year, we want to get as many girls to finish all-conference as possible and we want to get as many girls out of the Sectional as we can. Our focus will be on individual accomplishment and improvement.”

Which sounds a lot like what last year’s team did.

North Posey cross country is Motz plus who steps up

By Dave Pearce There are probably two words that best describe the North Posey cross country teams’ hopes this year…Hunter Motz.

Motz, who has been one of the premier runners in the area ever since he came upon the scene at North Posey High School, is expected to lead the team again this year, his senior season.

“Hunter is a very strong runner and wins most of the meets we run in this area,” Coach Jessica Ivy said regarding the senior. “But we also have nine or ten boys committed as of today and that is the largest number I have ever had since I have been here. That is very exciting. We will have enough for a full varsity team and some reserve runners so I am very excited about that.”

But without a lot of experience, this year could be similar to the last couple of years when it has been Motz at the front of the pack and other members of the team near the back. But Ivy knows that in order to build a program, it takes time and encouragement, especially with the conditions the team has faced this year.

“We have been running for a couple of weeks and we are starting to get into shape but we still have a ways to go,” Ivy said. “I just want them to enjoy it and to improve and come back out again next year.”

In an effort to fight the excessive heat, the team has been running some in the early morning and some later in the evenings and even ran inside one day this week.

“We have several first-year runners that I am very excited about having come out,” she said. “I hope they really like it and decide to stick with the sport. I am glad Lucas Neuffer is out for the first time as a senior.”

There are three freshman boys out for the team. They are Shane Martin, A.J. Sims, and Jonas Quirk.

On the girls’ side, two semi-state qualifiers from last season, Alyssa Lyke and Olivia Eisterhold, have graduated and the girls will be starting pretty much from scratch. But Ivy is happy to have enough girls out to field a team and looks forward to watching them improve.

Ivy pointed out that Olivia Goebel is the only freshman on the girls’ squad and was a good distance runner at the junior high level. Ivy says her expectations are high for Goebel.

“I don’t look for us to be as strong this year but we do have six girls out and that is a good thing,” Ivy said. “The way it looks in practice right now, Jess Smith will probably be our number one runner. The rest of the girls are pretty competitive and any one can finish in about any spot on a given day. I’m anxious to see who pulls ahead and gets stronger as the season goes along.”

While the cross country team runs mostly on the road, the team will host Central on August 24, the only home meet of the season. The meet is slated to begin at 4:15.

Members of the boys and girls North Posey cross country team are, Row 1. J. Thornburg, H. LaMar, J. Smith,and O. Goebel. Row 2. S. Martin, J. Koester, L. Neuffer, M. Bender, and K. Stratton. In row 3. W. Conner, N. Buchanan, H. Motz, W. Heldt, J. Quirk. A.J. Sims, and Coach Jessica Ivy.

North Posey girls look for steady improvement

By Dave Pearce According to North Posey High School girls’ soccer Coach Pleasant Dike, the early fall’s extreme heat had done very little to help her team prepare for this year’s season. But Dike also knows that all the other teams in the area have faced the same conditions so the teams should be equally unprepared when they throw out the first ball this week.

“With all this heat, I am a little worried about our fitness,” Dike said in an interview this week. “We weren’t able to get out as much as I thought we would. Since I was out last year on maternity leave, I’m looking at a lot of new faces and we will just have to see where everyone fits in.”

While Dike missed much of

last season on maternity leave, she did return in time to coach the final few games including the sectional and she has a good idea where the strength of this year’s team will lie, especially early in the year.

“We have three returning seniors, Nichole Perry, Nikki Woolston and Haley Allen and I expect a whole lot out of them,” Dike said with an exclamation point. “Ever since they were freshmen, they have started on the varsity so I expect them to carry our team. They are our three captains and everyone looks up to them. They are all three hustlers and hard workers.

I expect them to be kind of down the middle of the field, hopefully giving a lot of good direction to some of the newer ones.”

Last year’s season wasn’t

exactly a work of art so Dike knows that the primary goal is for the players to improve individually. The secondary goal would be to improve the win-loss percentage over last year’s numbers.

Defensively, the strength generally starts with the goalkeeper position and Dike has been alternating two sophomores at that position.

“Mallory Schmitt and Maggie Sherretz have been sharing the duties there,” she explained. “Offensively we are going to have to count on our seniors to provide the way.”

Dike said that Allen has good speed up top and she will be counted on heavily but sophomore Kendra Brandenstein has an unbelievable shot. Dike says she is hoping to see a few goals out of Brandenstein as well as freshman

Posey residents score well, come up short Kevin Wassmer and Drew Matthews have different resumes when it comes to the Evansville Courier and Press Men’s city Golf tournament.

But they both hung around long enough to finish in the tourney’s top 10.

Wassmer, a Poseyville resident and nine-time City champion, shot an even-par 71 Sunday at the Evansville Country Club and finished fifth in the 72-hole tournament with a four-run total of 284, one stroke ahead of New Harmony’s Drew Matthews, who also fired a 71 Sunday and came out of the tourney with a 285. Wassmer, who had been hanging around the top of the leader board for most of the first two rounds, faded late Saturday and finished with a two over-par 74 at the Oak Meadow before firing a 71 and dropping to fifth in Sunday’s final round.

The nine-time Evansville Men’s City Champion carded a one-over par 284 and came in a stroke ahead of Matthews (285).

Wassmer was three-under par for the day at Oak Meadow before the last two holes of the day, when he missed a two-foot putt for par and then double bogied

the 18th.

Two other golfers with Posey County connections advanced to the last two rounds of the tourney. Former Mount Vernon resident Chad Houchin finished with a 72-hole total of 290 and wound up in a three-way tie for tenth place, while Logan Osborne shot a 290 and finished 13th.

Princeton graduate and form University of Southern Indiana golfer Matt Hancock dropped in a putt on the last hole Sunday to claim the 81st Men’s City championship, nipping Jason Jones.

Hancock shot a 278 for the tourney, compared to Jones’ 279. David Mills (280) and Grant Wood (281) rounded out the top four.

Mackenzie Orlik. Orlik is expected to play a role on the team as only a freshman.

“Our strength right now is the three seniors down the middle and hopefully, with their experience, they will be able to distribute the ball and keep things moving,” Dike said. Defensively, Nikki Woolston is going to be our sweeper and we have a sophomore who will be stopping.

We feel pretty good about it.”

But more than anything, how much the team improves will depend on how hard they play, how well they play together, and ultimately, how near they are to reaching their full potential.

“The potential is definitely there,” Dike said. “We are just going to have to try and pull it all together and see how it goes.”

Wildcats must outwork opponents to succeed

By Steve Joos Mount Vernon boys’ tennis coach Vicki Oehmler didn’t use the term “work in progress” while discussing her team for this season, but one might be forgiven for figuring that’s the kind of team she’ll have this year.

“We’ve looked a little bit rough,” Oehmler said.

“We’re not very consistent, but we’re working hard on trying to prolong points.

We’re going to have to work our way and work really hard to improve.”

The Wildcats have some good athletes who are capable of playing this season and while the coach won’t say they’re a work in progress and she would have liked to have seen them play

more during the off-season, “work” is a by-word for this season’s team.

“It’s too early to tell,” about strengths and weaknesses, Oehmler said. “I think strength will be the desire to win. I think a weakness will be we have a bunch of kids who haven’t played the roles we want them to play.”

Jevin Redman has shown a lot of improvement and will have the unenviable position of replacing Tyler Schroeder at first singles. That’s a big jump for the sophomore and he will be up against yearlong players. Ross Canada will be at second singles and shown the results of off-season tennis, according to the coach.

After that, it’s uncertain.

Posey County Athletics

Andy Weintraut

Seniors Jacob Steinhart and Riley Oberle (who suffered an arm injury last week in practice) are penciled in at first doubles, provided they develop some consistency.

Layton Hopper and Kurt Crabtree are slated for second doubles.

Third singles is really up in the air, since the Cats really don’t have a traditional third singles player out this season. Todd Sheffer and Seth Reeves are the frontrunners for that spot, if the other players aren’t available.

The Cats saw some of their tougher competition Wednesday, when they faced Castle in a scrimmage. In addition to the Knights, Jasper and Memorial should be among the tougher competition the team will face this season.

Oehmler doesn’t have much in the way of expectations for this year’s team as

Opponents now wary of Lady Wildcat soccer

By Steve Joos For most of her five seasons as girls’ soccer coach at Mount Vernon, Liz Castle has been trying to shake the perception that the Lady Wildcats are an easy opponent, one not to be taken too seriously, one that’s “just Mount Vernon.”

That may not be a problem this season as the Lady Wildcats try to match or better an 11-7 season which included the program’s first postseason win since 2002.

“I’ve heard that other teams are concerned about playing us,” Castle said. “When I took this job five years ago, I wanted teams to be afraid of us and we have reached that level in five years.

That’s how people feel about us and that’s a good thing.”

Castle would even like to improve on that record and get past the second round of the Sectional this season.

The Lady Cats will be very strong at the midfield, where speed and ball skills dominate, Castle said, while they’re trying to replace two outside backs and a goalkeeper.

The team has been doing a lot of drills which pit the offensive and defensive units against each other, but they haven’t had a lot of time to play together as a team, something that Castle hoped to see in Saturday’s Big Eight Conference Jamboree at

Washington.

Kate Cox, Jenny Koch, Megan Randall and Jenna Reidford lead this year’s team, the coach said. The will be holding the same roles they held last season, with several goals scored between them. “Sam and Sam” (Samantha Scheu and Samantha Alsop) are back at sweeper and stopper, respectively, to help out on the outside.

The heat has been a problem for the Lady Wildcats, either forcing them inside to practice or curtailing their practice sessions, Castle said, which has left them with a lot of work to do.

“It (the heat) really killed us,” she said. “We are probably running about four days behind schedule on the things we should have done or things that we need to do. Right now, about the only things that we have done is condition ourselves, we haven’t had the time to work on set pieces or any of the more extensive drills.”

Washington and Jasper will be Mount Vernon’s most formidable competition in and out of the conference, while Castle feels that the Lady Cats will be competitive with just about everyone else on the schedule.

And everyone else isn’t taking Mount Vernon lightly.

Word is out on Vikings’ best kept secret

By Dave Pearce If you wanna know a secret, you gotta promise not to tell,” was part of a song by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils before many of this year’s North Posey High School tennis team’s parents were in high school. But this year’s team has to believe that they are probably the best-kept secret in the area.

“At least for the past five years, I feel like we have been pretty much of a secret,” Grimes said. “I believe we have the potential to be just as strong this year as last, maybe even stronger.”

Coming off a perfect regular season which included an outright Pocket Athletic Conference championship, a sectional championship and a regional final, first-year head tennis coach Charlie Grimes says the team has some pressure on their shoulders. But he believes that if they are able to keep their heads on straight, the obvious goal is to enjoy a second straight undefeated season.

Grimes knows that last year’s season was no easy task as he helped coach the squad. Thomas Alvey, who played number 1 singles last year was lost to graduation along with varsity doubles player Caleb Voegel. But if everyone remains healthy, Grimes knows there are players to step into those positions and keep the Big Red machine rolling right along.

Nick Scheller, who played a solid No. 2 singles position all of last year, is ready for the challenge to move into the top spot.

“Nick could be one of the players to beat in the area,” Grimes said of the speedy senior. “Central has a good No. 1 and No. 2 singles combination and could possibly chal-

Lady Vikings must be more aggressive, more eager

By Dave Pearce Any high school coach will tell you that the best thing about freshmen is that they become sophomores, then juniors and then seniors.

North Posey High School volleyball coach Gary Gentil is no exception.

While last year’s team possessed a couple of heavy hitters who have moved on to college, last year’s reserve team lost only one match all season and those players will be thrust into a new level of competition.

Gentil knows that with the power and the speed of the varsity game, it won’t happen immediately but he believes that this team is capable of being a good volleyball team.

“I have my starting setter Kaitlyn Esche coming back and Kaylee Durchholz started some for us and played quite a bit off the bench for us and she is back,” Gentil said.

“She was one of our top attackers. One of

our staring backrow players Jessica Mason is also coming back and Lisa Garris will be back. Lisa played sparingly last year because of a foot injury.”

Those four players are all seniors.

So despite the graduation of his top hitter and his libero player Alicia Goedde Mackenzie Smith, the cupboard certainly is not bare for Gentil. However, this year’s team will be forced to adjust to a shorter line-up as Samantha Neidig, Erin Maile and Abby Mayer have also graduated. This year’s team will have to work significantly on blocking.

“Probably my more experienced junior is Deana Lindauer who played a lot last year,” Gentil said. “She split the season with reserve and varsity and is a good outside hitter.

We have about seven other players who are picking it up and playing very well for us.

They had that tremendous year for us last year on j.v.”

Juniors Wendi Simpson, Katelyn Herrman, and Meghan Cumbee will be expected to make contributions in the front row area. Jordan Wassmer and Kelly Everly are expected to contribute to the team in the back row area. Kendall Reidford is a good young setter who is showing good promise and Megan Redman, who player libero for us last year in the back row is also back.

“They work really well together but we don’t have the height we had last year,” Gentil said. “But right now I think we may be a little ahead of where we were at this time last year. It is really hard to judge because there is so much difference in height, but I think this group has always played well together and I can see it clicking again.”

This year’s team could be just a tad bit better off when it comes to movement and foot speed, but it will have to have them if the team is to succeed. Right now, that one

dominant hitter has not yet stepped up.

“We are just going to have to work an awful lot on blocking consistently,” Gentil said. “We were better blockers last year and we will have to work harder just because we are not quite as tall. And, the competition is very good this year.”

In the Pocket Athletic Conference, Forest Park and Gibson Southern appear to be the teams to beat early on and Heritage Hills also fields a strong volleyball team every year.

“Forest Park won the sectional and then Heritage Hills and Southridge have a lot of people coming back,” Gentil said.

The pre-season preparation is done for the Vikings as they were scheduled to open at Heritage Hills on Monday and host perennial Class 4A State Power Castle on Thursday. The reserve match is slated to begin at 6 p.m.

North Posey must ‘blend,’ unique combinations, skills

By Dave Pearce It was Henry Wadsworth Longfellow who said it a long time ago and it still applies today, especially with North Posey boys’ soccer, “All things must change to something new.”

There are a lot of new things on the North Posey boys’ soccer field. New Coach Scott Buttrum hopes to combine the new with the old and put together a winning Viking soccer team this year. And he believes the potential is there.

“I think we are going to have a good team this year as long as they all play together,” Buttrum said on picture day this week. “This is my first year as head coach of the varsity boys.

I had the varsity girls last year when the girls’ coach (Pleasant Dike) was off on maternity leave. I also had the junior high boys last year.”

As most high school soccer coaches, Buttrum believes his team’s defense is ahead of the offense at this state of the season and 3-time letterwinner Rylan Gentil is back in goal for the Vikings. Buttrum may attack things just a little differently this year on offense.

“I think we will start with a 4-4-2 formation or a 4-3-3,” Buttrum said. “Obviously, we have some strength in the midfield and we will try to build on that.”

From an experience standpoint, Gentil is probably the most experienced player on the team but he will be joined by fellow seniors Addison Schmitt and Andrew Reich.

“That will provide us a lot of strength up the middle. They lead a lot of the practices and they have been working with a lot of the younger guys helping bring them along as fast as they can,” Buttrum said. “We have 23 guys out this year and that includes a couple of foreign exchange students. One is from Germany and the other from Brazil. The boy from Germany will be OK and the boy from Brazil has played mostly just backyard soccer so he is kind of learning as he goes.

We’ll try to make it work.”

The primary objective of this year’s team will be improvement and Buttrum believes the team is already showing improvement, if scrimmages provide a measuring stick.

“I really don’t know who all is going to return and play While Buttrum was hesitant to name many names at this well because it is my understanding that several teams lost a point in the season, he did point out that he has two freshmen lot of good players to graduation last year,” he said. “I have who could see significant playing time at the varsity level this found out that you can lose on a given night to anyone if you year. don’t show up to play.”

Wildcat work ethic, improvement keys to season

By Steve Joos So far, so good.

That’s how Mount Vernon boys’ soccer coach Travis Kaiser sees his team heading into the start of the season.

“We’ve looked pretty good,” Kaiser said. “We’re coming along. We’re not far along in practice right now because the heat’s been pushing us back, but as far as the touch and the drills we’ve been able to get done, we’ve looked pretty good.”

The Wildcats need to communicate better and move better without the ball. The movement will improve as the Cats run more and the season progresses, but it’s the lack of talking that has Kaiser concerned, especially since the team has several players who have been together for years.

The team will also struggle in the midfield early in the season, but that should also get better with time. As for strengths, Kaiser thinks his team will finish better and should be good defensively.

Andy Kuper will be back in the midfield, as will Bryan Gillenwater, who is moving back to the midfield. Kyle Sheffer played a lot of midfield as an underclassmen and will move back into that position. Julio Suar, Will Stevens and Alex Austin are possibilities in the middle, while seniors Dan Watzlavik and Ben Zickmund are possibilities on the outside.

“I’ve got some older players, but it takes time to gel and put some things together,” Kaiser said. “They’ll just have to be patient and help each other out. They’ll get better.”

The Cats will have to get better in order to face competition like Jasper, Washington, Mater Dei, Reitz, North, Central and the other Evansville schools, as well as North Posey and Gibson Southern.

“We have a tough schedule,” the coach said. “When you have a tough schedule, you have to be ready. You’ll play some tough games.”

Kaiser wants to see his team challenge for the Big Eight (winning the conference is always a goal and the Cats were third last season). He also wants his team to be ready to compete in the Secitonal.

But the important thing is that the team learns as the season goes on.

So far, they are.

Lady Wildcat golfers fighting heat, opponents, illness They can’t beat the heat, but the Mount Vernon girls’ golf team was able to get off to a good start with the 2010 season.

The hot weather gripping the area hasn’t forced the Lady Cats off the golf course before Thursday, but

it has cut things back a bit.

Mount Vernon was to have faced North on Thursday, but that contest was forced back to Wednesday due to the hot weather. Bell gave the team four days off due to the heat and they will resume action tonight (Tuesday) against Central at Helfrich Hills.

Half of Mount Vernon’s first four meets were reduced due to the weather, with the Central Invitational and a meet at Cambridge reduced due to the severe heat.

“We started out well,” coach Dave Bell said. “We were a bit inconsistent, but we’re striking the ball well.”

Bell said that the team had its moments playing two very different courses in Eagle Valley and Cambridge.

The Lady Cats were seventh in the 12-team field at Cambridge, shooting a 203.

Carley Redman led the team with a 48, while Roni Peck fired a 51. Amy Steele and Kay Leigh Albright each shot 52s to round things out, while Kendyll Bourne added a 54.

The Central Invite was split into two nine-hole divisions due to the heat, with Mount Vernon carding a 179 to win their group. Bourne

and Steele each carded 42s to pace the Lady Cats, while Peck and Redman rounded out the foursome with respective rounds of 47 and 48 as Mount Vernon topped a field which included Boonville, Mater Dei, Harrison, Vincennes and the host Lady Bears. Albright’s 49 rounded out the Mount Vernon individuals.

North topped Memorial, Reitz, Castle, Jasper and Washington to capture the other division.

Mount Vernon was second in its own invites at Western Hills, with a score of 395, as Bourne paced the Maroon squad with an 81.

That was enough to get Mount Vernon into second place, but the team still finished well behind Castle (354). With four golfers under 100, led by individual medalist Kayla Kattenbury’s 76, the Lady Knights pulled out the overall title.

Peck carded a 98, Steele a 102 and Redman a 114 to get Mount Vernon past third-place Memorial (413).

North Posey was fourth with 416, as Maggie Camp carded a 96 to pace the team and Ashton Koester added a 100. Kendyl Ahrens (104) and Taylor Patton (117) rounded out the foursome.

Gibson Southern was fifth with a score of 441, followed by Princeton (442), Central (446) and Boonville (474). Mount Vernon also had a Gray team participating tin the invite which did not keep a team score. Albright’s 97 paced that squad, while Bailey Ash added a 114 and Elizabeth Damm carded a 118.

The Lady Cats were fifth out of six teams at the North Invitational, played at Cambridge, posting a score of 402.

Bourne’s 87 led the team, followed by Albright with a 90, Steele with a 99 and Damm with a 126.

Mount Vernon was well behind fourth-place Fort Wayne Canterbury’s 386, but well ahead of sixth-place Harrison (530). Memorial shot a 339 to win the meet, with Jasper (347) second and North (359) third.

The Lady Cats also ran into some adversity last week, when Redman was hospitalized with pneumonia and Albright was injured in an auto accident. Right now, getting those two just plain healthy will be a priority, Bell said, although he complimented Damm for stepping up when she had to take over for Albright.
