Farm Bureau takes aim at copper thieves By Holly Heerdink Copper wire thieves may think twice about stealing from Posey County farms because of a new twopart program introduced by representatives of Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance and local farmers. The program features new security measures for irrigation systems and a reward for anyone with information that leads to the arrest and conviction of wire thieves. “Our ultimate goal would be for whoever is stealing this copper wire from our irrigation systems to end up in jail,” Randy Kron, vice president of Indiana Farm Bureau, said during a phone interview. Since September 2010, the electric wire has been stripped from 18 irrigation systems within a five-to-

six mile radius of Griffin. The thefts have accompanied an increase in the cost of copper. Jim Rink, Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance’s director of farm/crop/commercial/rural, said the price of copper in 2004 was around $0.75 per pound, but today’s price is around $4 per pound. After several farmers were affected by the theft, they decided to pool their resources for a reward program, a strategy that has worked well for farmers in Southern Illinois. The group collected $5,000, and it hopes the reward will encourage people to contact the Posey County Sheriff’s Office with information about the copper wire thefts. “You wake up one morning and go out and look and realize the wire that makes everything work is just

gone,” Griffin farmer Bishop Mumford said. “It’s a very expensive repair.” Depending on the lengths of the systems, the cost to repair a center-pivot irrigation system can be anywhere from $6,000 to $10,000. For many farmers, the money they donated to the reward program is worth it if they can deter copper wire thieves. In addition to the reward program, Farm Bureau insurance is sponsoring a pilot program to help protect its insurance customers. Devices that can detect when copper wire has been cut or compromised are being installed in irrigation systems throughout the county. As soon as the devices are disturbed, the system calls the Posey County Sheriff’s

Posey man is sentenced to 38 years for rape, conduct

By Dave Pearce Posey County Superior Court Judge Brent Almon sentenced a Mount Vernon man to 38 years in prison on Thursday. Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers said that the Christopher Master, 45, pleaded guilty to charges of Rape and Criminal Deviate Master Conduct. Clowers described the crime as “a brutal rape and beating of his girlfriend while on bond from previous assault on her.” Master was also on probation from a conviction in the State of California. Master plead guilty to the two charges without any type of plea agreement. Both of the crimes are Class B Felonies. Clowers indicated that Master was sentenced to 20 years on the first charge and to 18

FDIC takes over and Old National steps in

By Dave Pearce On Friday, July 29, 2011, Integra Bank National Association (N.A.), Evansville, Ind., was closed by the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was named Receiver. Evansville-based Old national took over the bank’s operations shortly thereafter. No advance notice is given to the public when a financial institution is closed. Mount Vernon is home to branches of both Old National and Integra. Old National Bank President and Chief Executive Officer Bob Jones met Sunday afternoon with over 300 Integra employees in Evansville and advised them that, in essence, common sense would be used to determine which employees and which branches would be retained. Jones said job decisions would begin to be made in 30 days and announcements would come in 60 to 90 days. Integra had operated 52 branches. Jones indicated that where there are “redundant functions and locations” would be the most likely cuts as Old National begins to trim operating costs of the failed bank. The Mount Vernon would certainly fit initial descriptions as the two branches are a block apart. According to information from the Federal Deposit Insurance Company, all deposit accounts, excluding any Cede & Co. deposits, have been transferred to Old National Bank, Evansville, (“assuming institution”) and will be available immediately. The former Integra Bank, N.A. locations reopened as branches of Old National Bank during regular business hours. Transferred deposits will be separately insured from any accounts you may already have at Old National Bank for six months after the failure of Integra Bank, N.A. Checks that were drawn on Integra Bank, N.A. that did not clear before the bank closed will be honored as long as there are sufficient funds in the account. You may withdraw your funds from any transferred account without an early withdrawal penalty until you enter into a new deposit agreement with Old National Bank as long as the deposits are not pledged as collateral for loans. You may view more information about Old National Bank by visiting their web site at www.oldnational.com. According to the Associated Press, Integra Bank received $83.6 million in taxpayer funds in February 2009 under the government’s financial bailout program, Treasury Department data shows. The data also shows those funds have not been repaid. According to a statement from the Federal Deposit Insurance Cor-

Office and the owner of the farm. “It’s a marvelous system,” Mumford said. “You can’t tell in any way if an irrigation system has the device installed or not.” According to Randy Kron, some insurance agencies have canceled coverage on irrigation systems because of the costliness of the repairs. He said Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance paid $200,000 in claims last year, but the company wants to continue its coverage. It is now offering insurance discounts to farmers who participate in the program. Kron said he hopes the combination of the reward program and the new security devices will stop the copper wire theft, and people will realize stealing wire is not worth the risk.

10 people of interest. They emphasized that those individuals are not suspects. Investigators, who have obtained security video from the area where Lauren Spierer was last seen, are not planning to release the footage, Qualters said. Video evidence last shows Spierer between 3:15 and 3:30 a.m. on June 3 walking, he said. Qualters wouldn’t say whether she was alone or what else the video shows. Police have that the last time anyone saw Spierer, she was leaving a friend’s apartment to walk home alone around 4:30 a.m. Qualters said a representative of Texas Equusearch, a national search group, was in Bloomington on Saturday. Police plan to meet with the group, which provides horse-mounted search and recovery volunteers, to determine if it can provide any services in this case.

Marty’s Lost 156 lbs – WAY TO GO COACH! Just after the 2010 basketball season, I had friends come to me who were concerned about my health. I turned to Jan Schenk and The Perfect Plan. Jan taught me healthy eating habits. With The Perfect Plan I don’t feel hungry. From day one Jan said, “I want you to eat to make this work.” She not only taught me what to eat, she keeps me motivated and holds me accountable. Jan is my “coach”! I am so thankful she and her staff have come into my life. This is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. It has truly been a life-style change.

major breakthroughs in the case. Lauren Spierer was last seen walking home alone from a friend’s apartment early June 3, a few hours after she left a popular Bloomington bar. The case of the missing 20-year-old student from Greenburgh, N.Y., was featured on “America’s Most Wanted” on Saturday. Bloomington police say the show generated 30 to 40 tips between the show’s 9 p.m. airing and 3 a.m., but none have led to any breaks in the investigation. Police Capt. Joe Qualters hoped for more tips Sunday. Robert Spierer told reporters at a news conference Sunday in Bloomington that twice-a-day searches for his daughter will continue all week. His wife, Charlene Spierer, said she had a message for whoever has Lauren or has harmed her. “Shame on you,” she said. “Shame on you.” She begged anyone with knowledge of what happened to her daughter to come forward and said the family is just looking for answers. The mother also had a message for her child. She said she wants Lauren to know her mother remains strong and as determined as ever to ﬁnd her. “I am here for you 100 percent. I will never leave you,” Charlene Spierer said. “I love you with all my heart, and I need you back.” Police have been interviewing people who know

INGREDIENTS 2 Tbsp sweet paprika 2 Tbsp smoked paprika 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon Kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 Tbsp lime juice 1/3 cup olive oil 1 lb of large shrimp, cleaned and peeled, tails on

DIRECTIONS 1. Soak the skewers in water for half an hour before grilling. 2. In a large bowl whisk together the spices—the paprikas, cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper—and the lime juice and olive oil. Add the shrimp and toss to coat with the marinade. Keep chilled for half an hour to an hour. 3. Prepare grill for medium-high direct heat, or heat a grill pan. Thread the shrimp onto skewers. Baste the grill grates with some vegetable oil so that the shrimp don’t stick. Grill or cook a few minutes per side (2-4, depending on the size of the shrimp), until the shrimp are just cooked through. Remove from grill and serve immediately. Yield: Serves 4.

Each year the Mount Vernon River Days Festival has as its purpose to bring attention to the special privilege residents, neighbors and friends share in enjoying and being witness to the wonders of living on the banks of the Ohio River. Of course, there are all kinds of “wonders” that this opportunity affords; and this year, with the river’s third highest crest, 51.8 feet, folks were reminded of the awesome power of the Ohio. With memories of the 2011 Flood fresh on minds of area residents, the 75th anniversary of the “Big Flood” in 1937, when the crest reached 59.2 feet, will be commemorated at this year’s Mount Vernon River Days event set for September 9, 10 and 11. In 1937, the river inundated a lot of mid-America, including Mount Vernon. The water lapped at the steps of the Eagles’ building on Water Street and surrounded the water treatment plant. Up and down the Ohio, from Johnstown to New Orleans, the “Beautiful Ohio” showed its power and might. Becky Higgins, Vice Chair of the River Days Commit-

tee, is collecting 1937 Flood photographs and other memorabilia to be featured in an exhibit that will take place at the 2011 festival. Anyone who has pictures or collectible items from the 1937 flood that they are willing to share in his exhibit is asked to contact Higgins at 204-7388 or see her at Printcrafters, 304 W. Fourth Street in Mount Vernon. Larry Williams is Chairman of this year’s River Days, with Kay Kilgore as Chairman of Events and Entertainment and Nancy Hoehn in charge of Food Booths.

Miss Priss, a black and white domestic shorthair, has a beautiful white blaze down the middle of her face and is front-declawed. She is a little shy at first, but warms up quickly and is then very loving. The Posey Humane Society is still full to the brim and unable to accept new animals until we find homes for the ones we are currently housing. Now is a great time to take advantage of the Passion for Pets sale on all animals that are already spayed or neutered. Call 838-3211 to arrange a time to look at your future pet. General public hours are Friday noon - 6:00 pm and Saturday 10:00 am - 6:00 pm.

COMMUNITY WMI News Public libraries are as American as apple pie. Public libraries are as old as our countries roots reaching back to the first public library in America established in 1636. Nothing is as important to a democratic society as the free exchange of information, and so it is easy to see why libraries flourished in America from our very beginning. By the dawn of the twentieth century, the United States had seen free public libraries started by a number of wealthy men such as our own William Maclure , and later, Andrew Carnegie. In many areas township libraries had been established, and there was a growing movement to support libraries with public funds. By the mid-twentieth century, public funding of libraries was the norm, as Americans acknowledged the importance the community library as the agency for the democratization of access to information. In 1941, the United States entered World War II. In

By Sherri Graves fighting the Japanese, Americans were confronted with a culture very different from our own. The Japanese were not only looked on as enemies, but also as a society that was “inscrutable” to the American mind. Then the Japanese surrender, and the United States finds itself an occupying country. And as they say, the rest is history. In a few short years a society that was centuries old became westernized – in particular, Americanized. In business, in fashion, in a hundred ways, the Japanese imitated our ways and embraced our establishments. And one of the establishments they embraced with open arms was our public library system. Pre-war Japanese libraries were looked upon as a benefit flowing from the emperor to his people. They were limited to research and study and intended to support the political system of the country. Most charged fees. By 1950, the Japanese had passed a library law. It was

adopted under the direction of U.S. Occupational Forces and had the following provisions, among others: forbidding fees, authorization of local governments to establish public libraries, establishing citizen advisory committees for public libraries. By the 1960’s, the Japanese were describing their libraries as places “to guard the people’s right to know” and “to ensure free and equal access to information for all people.” Now that has a familiar ring to it! Public libraries in Japan have a long way to go. Development in rural areas has Mount Vernon Mayor John Tucker (right) lays down the first "Dollars for Dinbeen painfully slow.

Yesterday I saw two birds - a buzzard and a hummingbird. The buzzard was on the road, eating a dead carcass. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what he looks for. The humingbird was in our garden, sucking the sweet nectar of the honeysuckles. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what he looks for. What do you look for in

life? Setbacks or successes? Your expectations determine your events. Expect great things from God. Attenpt great things for God. Then your shadows will fall behind you, joy will walk beside you, opportunity will rise before you, and victory will be yours! Visit us at: www. TheSower.com

St. Matthew Catholic Church develops strategic plan After several months of work, St. Matthew Parishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Strategic Planning Committee delivered their final plan to the Pastoral Council, which was unanimously accepted. The committee was formed in January, and was facilitated by Mel Levin, a member of St. Matthew Parish. After six meetings, along with a parish forum, and discussions with parishioners, the plan was finalized. Eight areas within the parish were identified as potential growth areas. Those were enhanced liturgy, facilities, financial

stability, outreach, religious education/Catholic faith formation, school, staffing and stewardship. Each area contains strategic issues and recommended initiatives. Realizing that not all of these issues and initiatives could be implemented at one time, the committee recommended that financial stability, outreach, and stewardship be the initial areas of focus. St. Matthew Parish has four main commissions, Education, Finance, Parish Life and Spiritual Life and Worship. The Pastoral Council will be reaching out to those commissions and

the many gifted parishioners for their help in making this plan a reality. Members of the St. Matthew Strategic Planning Committee members were Joyce Babillis, Deacon Tom Evans, Mark Funkhouser, Dan Hayden, John Hendricks, Kim Krieger, Glen Kuper, Donett May, Sherri Rapp, Bridget Seifert, Steve Searcy, Frank Simutis, Candy Tolliver, Linda Willis, Frank Winiger and Mel Levin, Facilitator. A copy of the entire Strategic Plan is on the St. Matthew website. http://www. stmatthewparish.us/

Little Crazy Daisy, Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vision, opens in Poseyville

By Holly Heerdink Potential customers of the Little Crazy Daisy, a new flower shop in Poseyville, can expect to be greeted by two things upon their arrival at the store: friendly members of the staff and the sweet aroma of fresh flowers and scented candles. The store, located in the building that once housed Flowers by CherĂŠ, is the realization of a dream for owner Tracy Williams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a vision,â&#x20AC;? she said with a smile. She and her husband Jeff, an insurance salesman at Farm Bureau in Poseyville, opened the store hoping it would be inspirational and convenient for the local community. Jeffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office is less than a block away. Although the vision for many florists is to be creative in their work, Tracy wanted to do even more. She wanted her arrangements to bring happiness to the people receiving them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (flowers) make people smile,â&#x20AC;? Tracy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know if I am going on a road trip or if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just going to work or to get groceries, I usually look at peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yards and flowers. You see something, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just warm and inviting, and it makes me smile.â&#x20AC;? Little Crazy Daisy has five employees who strive to make every occasion special. They offer an assortment of items including fresh flowers, wedding and funeral arrangements, live plants, giftware and silk flowers. The store also features a candle line from Swan Creek, and Tracy said she is proud to carry its products. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re particular about who carries it,â&#x20AC;? she explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anybody within 30 to 40 miles from you who sells it. We smelled a lot of candles, and this is the one we like the best.â&#x20AC;? Before Little Crazy Daisy opened its doors,

Tracy and her daughter-in-law Jessica Hobgood attended a flower school in West Palm Beach, Fla. They spent two weeks learning how to create arrangements and how to run a flower business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every day was something new,â&#x20AC;? Tracy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like what I remember school as being. It was exciting because when you walk in the room, the roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full of flowers.â&#x20AC;? Jessica recalled that two weeks was a long time to be away from her family, but she enjoyed the school as well. She also likes spending time with her mother-in-law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as bad as people might think it would be,â&#x20AC;? Jessica said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a really fun experience.â&#x20AC;? A major obstacle the young business faced was finding a name. At first, Tracy was leaning toward the name, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Your Vase,â&#x20AC;? but after contemplating how that would sound as a greeting on the telephone, she decided against it. Instead, she and her kids posted Facebook statuses asking for suggestions. The person who recommended the winning name would receive free flowers once a month for a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone in Iowa who is in the air force with my son picked Little Crazy Daisy, and I just loved it,â&#x20AC;? Tracy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody has a nickname, and usually people call me Crazy. So the crazy was in there, and I really liked it a lot.â&#x20AC;? Little Crazy Daisy will be hosting a grand opening event on Friday, August 12, from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. The store will draw for free flower arrangements and gift baskets. Drinks and refreshments will also be served. Until then, people can find the business on Facebook, or they can reach it at (812) 8743427. The number is the same number used for Flowers by CherĂŠ.

Loni Moore, a part-time employee, is busy at work in the background. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every customer that comes in is going to be something new, something different, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bringing life to their party, or graduation,â&#x20AC;? Loni said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be really cool to be a part of somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life in that way.â&#x20AC;?Photo by Holly Heerdink

Sentence, from Page 1A years on the second. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I argued for an enhanced and consecutive sentence due to the nature of the offense,â&#x20AC;? Clowers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the things I talked about while campaigning was focusing on serious and violent crimes. I feel like this is a big step in that direction. I will continue to aggressively prosecute these types of cases.â&#x20AC;? Clowers said that a statement from Detective Thomas Rueger given to the judge as well as testimony from Posey County EMS responder Esther Holder were instrumental in the case. Now-retired Mount Vernon Police Detective John Dike also provided pictures of the victim as well as pictures from the crime scene as evidence. Clowers said a plastic bag containing a large clump of hair that was ripped from the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head was also entered as evidence

in the case. Master had been arrested on Sept. 4, 2010, and charged with battering the same woman before the Sept. 10 incident. According to court records, Master bonded out on that day and went to the house and assaulted the woman. When police arrived at the house, they found the woman bleeding and at a neighborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house. She told police that after Master bonded out, he went to a bar and then came to the house and struck her multiple times with a gumball machine. He repeatedly punched and kicked her before tearing off her clothes and raping her. Besides the clump of hair, glass pieces were found in her head and swelling was prevalent on her arms, face, and legs. The sentences will run consecutive for a total of 38 years.

North Posey grad earns accolades dents and one of which was a business student. The students designed new products and used a rapid prototyping machine to create a model of them. The machine was brand new to the University of Evansville, and it arrived two days before Business 380 students began working with it. Even though the machine helped construct a model of their design, it could not help in other aspects of the challenge. Course participants devoted long hours to their work. “We were there for two weeks, and we were probably pulling 16 hour days,” Woolston said. “We got to spend a lot of time together.” Woolston thought the most valuable element of the course was working closely with other majors. The engineering students were challenged to learn business strategy, and the business students studied engineering techniques. However, team members also met with clients from

Cornhole tourney to benefit At the Cross by the Rev. Meyers Hyman, minister of First Church Of Nazarene. Every Saturday they host a food pantry, and currently serve around 150 families per month. The soup kitchen is kept open through donations, and due to the need for new renovations, more donations are needed. The cost is $20 per team, to register or ask questions call Dylan Krohn 812-4300464, or Richard Karns 812200-0333 or rkarns@insightbb.com. Drinks and pizza will be for sale.

The first annual Cornhole for a Cause tournament is set to kick off on Sunday, August 7 at the Robinson Township Conservation Club at 2:30 p.m. This is a single elimination tournament that will benefit At The Cross Mission soup kitchen located in Mount Vernon. Recently the soup kitchen was warned about safety hazards and were put on a timetable to meet the new standards. The soup kitchen feeds anywhere from 40-80 people per night during their four day operation. They provide a free meal for anyone who comes in, and have a suggested charge of .25 cents for a meal to go. The At The Cross Mission Soup Kitchen was founded

Escalade Sports four times in a two-week span. “I think meeting with the clients in the real world was really interesting,” Woolston said. “And giving a presentation to the CEO of a company, by the way, is the most nerve-racking thing I have ever done.” Although Woolston couldn’t talk about the details behind his design because of a non-disclosure agreement, he could say a few things about the outcome. The other team was declared the winner, and it received a $1,000 award. However, Escalade Sports was impressed by both presentations, and both products could go to market in the future. During his college experience, Woolston has also studied abroad in the United Kingdom at Harlaxton. Students who travel to Harlaxton live in a 100-room Victorian manor that resembles a castle. While overseas, Woolston played soccer for the Harlaxton Lions and visited the Canary Islands, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. With only one more year of college ahead of him, Woolston is looking to the future and is making postgraduation plans. He ultimately hopes to earn a master’s degree and to find a job close to home. “I want to be done with school, but I won’t know what to do whenever I’m done with school,” Woolston said. “School’s all I’ve done for the past 20 years or so. It will be interesting.” JUST ASK US, WE MIGHT HAVE IT.

By Holly Heerdink If Matthew Woolston had to pick one word to describe his college career at the University of Evansville, the word would be “intense.” Woolston, a 2008 graduate of North Posey, is entering his senior year at UE, and his journey to a degree in mechanical engineering has been anything but easy. “A lot of kids in college get to pick their own schedules,” Woolston said. “They pick the classes they want to take and all of that. Up until now, I haven’t been able to do that. It’s pretty much dictated to you. You have to take math every semester pretty much. This will be the first semester that I don’t have a math class.” Perhaps one of the most grueling courses he has taken is Business 380, a two-week summer class where teams of students competed to create a “viable, commercialized product” for Escalade Sports.

Posey County 4-H plans for the future The Posey County 4-H Council and the Purdue Extension-Posey County Office would like to thank everyone for another great 4-H year! As the year draws to a close, we would like to express our gratitude to all of the volunteers who committed countless hours, energy and resources to local 4-H programming. Over 300 young people and their families participate in local 4-H programming, with 4-H youth members learning and practicing life skills that will benefit them long after their 4-H tenure. We would also like to thank everyone who has given generously to support local 4-H programming. Being a non-profit organization requires that we secure funding from a variety of sources, and we rely heavily on donations to accomplish our goals. We are fortunate that so many of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s businesses, organizations and individuals see the importance of our work and support it generously. We are also grateful for the support of county government and elected officials. We simply could not offer topnotch youth development

programming without such wonderful support. 4-H members learn by doing, as is the 4-H motto, and there are two main groups of trained volunteers who assist in this learning process. They are the Posey County 4-H Council and 4-H Fair Association, both of which meet year-round to continually improve local 4-H programming and plan for the future of Posey County 4-H. Looking ahead with anticipation to the coming 4-H year, we have some great activities and events already in the planning stages. We are now in the process of planning for replacement of the current livestock show arena and horse barn at the 4-H fairgrounds. Buildings now used for housing and showing animals are over fifty years old and badly in need of renovation. Work will begin on this project as soon as funding is secured, and your support of this project would be greatly appreciated. It is estimated that $185,000 will be required to complete all renovations, and contributions are being placed in a special account, set up specifically

for this purpose and with the understanding that if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t proceed, funds will be returned to the donors. If you would like to show your support of Posey County 4-H through a monetary donation or a volunteer commitment, please contact us by phone at 812838-1331 or email maycm@purdue.edu. You may also learn more on the internet at: www.extension.purdue.edu/Posey, or stop by our office in the basement of the Coliseum Building in downtown Mount Vernon, Room 29. Donors can be assured that their contributions go directly to local 4-H programming and that the Indiana 4-H mission to provide real-life educational opportunities that develop competent young leaders who positively impact their community is being met. The Posey County 4-H youth development program will continue to develop young people with integrity and character who are the future leaders of our communities, but this goal will only be met through the generous support of adults who care about them and their future.

Farmers have new options for disposal of livestock carcasses Hoosier livestock producers now have two more methods for animal carcass disposal, after members of the Indiana State Board of Animal Health (BOAH) voted to expand the list of state-approved options at their most recent quarterly board meeting. Producers may now dispose of remains through exotic animal feeding and anaerobic/ chemical digestion. The six approved methods of disposal include: burial, incineration, composting, rendering, exotic animal feeding, and anaerobic and chemical digestion. The requirement applies only to livestock species,

while wildlife and small animal species, such as fish, reptiles, dogs, cats, and small game, are exempt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Board added these methods to give livestock owners more options for disposal, because we are seeing more and more issues as the availability of rendering continues to decline,â&#x20AC;? explains Bret D. Marsh, DVM, State Veterinarian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the interest of public and animal health, we want to ensure farmers have access to safe, legal disposal methods that are readily available and affordable.â&#x20AC;? Standards for three of

the four original methodsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;burial, incineration, and renderingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;remain unchanged. The composting option was modified to allow communal compost piles for producers under specific circumstances. Exotic animal feeding was originally banned in 2003, but the disposal method has been reinstated with some additional record-keeping requirements. The number of exotic animal farms has grown in Indiana, and so has the demand for livestock carcasses as food stuffs for these animals. Livestock producers should verify the exotic

animal owner holds a state exotic feeding permit before allowing pick-ups of dead stock. Anaerobic and chemical digestion is a new, convenient method of disposal similar to composting. Individuals who choose to operate an anaerobic or chemical digester must follow all state environmental laws and the system must not create a health hazard to humans or animals. A complete list of the dead animal disposal options and their requirements are available online at www.in.gov/boah/2369. htm.

OPINION

My worrying days are over, we are prepared for anything For those of you who typically spend a lot of time worrying about me, I want to give you a “heads up.” Don’t worry about me because my wife has prepared us for anything from a weather emergency to an economic collapse. I have still been able to maintain my share of the enclosed front porch since my wife has been busy TRUTH... upstairs with the planning of STRANGER two weddings. Unfortunately THAN one of the weddings was this FICTION weekend and that leaves only one. But since it is our son’s, BY DAVE I think I am safe to say that PEARCE she will be spending enough time upstairs over the next two months that my cubbyhole in the house is safe. But some of my wife’s actions recently are beginning to concern me. We do have a full basement under our home and while my wife has never been particularly fond of storms, lately they seem to be on her mind quite a bit. And that’s understandable with the terrible storms recently in Missouri. But the other evening, I decided that I would make the trek upstairs. Lately, you see, if I wanted to see my wife, I had to go upstairs. Up there is the sewing machine, the iron, all the flower arrangement headquarters, and plenty of room to spread it all out. I braved the step up and thought I would keep her company for a few minutes while she worked on the upcoming wedding decorations.

It had been awhile since I had been upstairs. And for those of you who don’t remember from before, our upstairs is some 1500-1600 square feet of basically open space. But let me just say, no one can fill open space like my wife. I got to the top of the stairs and wasn’t sure which direction to turn. To the left was the room we set aside for visitors, particularly Eric if he ever decides to visit again. One glance into the room and I readily recognized that there wasn’t a chance in the world of sitting in that room. Every inch of “open” space was covered with something done in either purple or silver, the colors Eric and Becca have chosen for their wedding. (Eric, what happened to the camouflage we talked about?) But without further ado, I decided that a right turn would be necessitated into the former “man cave” turned wedding and sewing room. As I walked into the room, I noticed that she was ironing. I’m not sure I had ever seen her do that before. Or perhaps it had just been a long time. But to my amazement, she was ironing a piece of material that literally would have covered the bulk of the entire room had it been all stretched out. She proceeded to explain to me that it was necessary to sew five (yes, I said five) full-sized tablecloths together to achieve the look that Becca wanted for her reception. I

shook my head and acted like I completely understood while on the inside, muttering terms of unbelief. And, “since I was there,” I got to help her fold this monstrocity into a somewhat manageable size. It was then that I realized that if I wanted to keep my wife company, I would either have to do it standing up or sitting on the floor in the corner of the room. Yes, every inch of the second bedroom was also occupied. After exchanging a few pleasantries and realizing that my help was not needed or even desired, I decided to go back to the main floor of the house. But for some reason, I decided to head to the basement to pick up a couple of things I was needing for the Posey County News office we now have open in Poseyville. It is about four or five steps down to the landing and since a little light was shining from the main floor, I decided to take my chances and step down to the landing before turning on the lights. You see, halfway down the stairway the path does a 180 and the light switch for the downstairs is at the halfway point. As I took the last step to the landing in my bare feet, I suddenly stepped on something that felt to be a cross between a Tactical Assault Gear Carrying Bag and a Fourth of July fireworks lighting kit. As I tripped over the handles on the bag and fell forward into the outside wall of the basement, I could hear what sounded like glass hitting wood and electrical equipment being dropped from one

step to the next. When I finally regained my composure and got the light on, I realized that my thoughtful and loving wife had prepared an emergency kit for us. As I began to go through it, I couldn’t contain myself. I got one of the best laughs I have had in a long time. In the bag were several of three different sizes of batteries. A flashlight without a battery that any of the three would fit. A very small batter-operated portable television with yes, a remote control. Also contained in this bag were two candles in fruit jars and a small box of matches in each. All this was lying atop a pillow and a blanket. There was, of course, nothing to eat or drink but by crackies, we could watch a 3-inch television screen by candlelight without having to get up to change the channels. We could share the pillow and the blanket (but that was before I wrote this story) and could keep each other company until the storm or the bomb raid had ended. And hopefully, while we made our way around by candlelight in the basement, we could find something that would work with the three packages of batteries that were in the kit. I’m not sure about the rest of you, but I’m not dreading the thunderstorms or the tornadoes like I was because it is obvious that my wife has us prepared for whatever befalls us. And, I probably had better become accustomed to seeing a whole lot more of the basement the rest of this week. Tonight I’m stocking up on RTEMs.

Simple abundance, blessings run hand in hand at home Several years ago, the book Simple Abundance became a bestseller with its advice to appreciate inexpensive pleasures. Still popular today, the book teaches gratitude for the ordinary. Summers FOR THE in Posey County seem to RECORD me to offer a myriad of opportunities to enjoy simple BY PAM abundance, particularly ROBINSON in its gardens and garage sales. Just about everyone knows a neighbor with a garden, and as gardens grow, they require admirers. One of my St. Philip neighbors, Peggy Luckhurst, brought quart bags of picked blackberries to church two Sundays in a row, just ripe for the takin’. The gift prompted me to look in an Amish cookbook passed down from the late Ruth Smyth of New Harmony for a blackberry cobbler recipe reminiscent of my mother’s baking. My first ever blackberry cobbler would have made my mother proud, especially since I got away without kneading and rolling dough. As it turns out, the Amish understand simple

Responsibility, like charity, begins at home

Gavel Gamut’s “Motes and Logs” When I attend continuing education for judges at either the National Judicial College in Reno, Nevada or the Indiana Judicial Conference, I am reminded of the benefits of living in Posey County. Judges from areas with large populations have little GAVEL choice but to “crunch the GAMUT numbers”. Individualized solutions and personal service BY JUDGE are rarely possible. But in JIM REDWINE small jurisdictions the legal system can respond to unusual cases with unique approaches. One size that does not actually fit all is sometimes the only size available with large populations. And while it is correct that rural areas cannot afford some of the expensive counseling and alternative placements available in cities, this requires imaginative, localized outcomes that begin at the first echelons of the legal system. It is a common story for those of us who grew up and/or live in smaller communities to have a wise law enforcement officer handle minor infractions with the same admonishment Jesus gave; “Go forth and sin no more”. Of course, Jesus’ challenge to those who would prefer harsher treatment, for others, is also instructive: “Let he who is without

sin cast the first stone”. One of the lessons learned from judging others is that credo from Plato: A judge’s duty is to do justice, not make a present of it. However, an equally valuable realization is, “there but for fortune may go you or I”. In other words, the law should be blind to such issues as gender, race, religion and ethnicity, but it should not be myopic when considering outcomes. As one studies the levels of our legal system, it is helpful to take this long view. Helping a child see the error of its way and defusing a feeling of bitterness has a better chance of engendering respect for the law when that young miscreant becomes an adult. This “plea bargaining” ab initio is prevalent throughout small communities. Teachers, clergy, employers, co-workers, coaches, etc., all exercise wisdom in declining to require “a pound of flesh” for minor transgressions. Such an approach of forbearance and forgiveness reduces recidivism with almost all people because it produces a sense of obligation and gratitude. Unfortunately, there is a minority of humans who, as the gang in West Side Story

demonstrates, “are just no good”. For those, prison, not redemption, is our only option. When the term Plea Bargaining is mentioned, most people think only of what happens in the criminal justice system. Such events as occur on the streets or in schools or on ball fields are not recognized as justice tempered with mercy. However, when one does concentrate on the criminal justice system, the benefits of Jesus’ approach may not be obvious. Initially the thinking is if a person is treated as if he is a bad dog, he is more likely to bite and if he is treated more as a savable soul, he is more likely to be grateful. As always, there are numerous, significant exceptions. So, first we should treat those caught up in the justice system the way we would hope to be treated if the roles were reversed. Next we should observe their reactions to our attempts to encourage law abiding behavior to see if they will reciprocate our actions toward them. If they do, we will have successfully, and inexpensively, solved the problem. If they do not, as evinced by the commission of new offenses, we can then punish them with more severe sanctions. There are many cost saving, relationship saving, productivity enhancing aspects of such an approach. ASSISTANT EDITOR, MV OFFICE PAM ROBINSON PamelaWrite@sbcglobal.net

Society saves a great deal of money by avoiding trials and imprisonment. Families are not disrupted; Indiana’s taxpayers can save about $20,000 per year per inmate for every person we do not imprison; people can continue working, which allows them to help support their families and generate tax revenue; and people who are not in prison and working can buy goods and services from other citizens. It is clear that there are many positive aspects to Plea Bargaining. But, it is without question that without the billions of daily dispensations of many types from many people in positions of authority, our society could not function. Next week we can delve into the specifics of Plea Bargaining in the Posey County legal system.

Posey Sheriff Greg Oeth to help Cynthiana residents celebrate National Night Out

Residents invited for ‘grillin’ and chillin’ Come join members of the Posey County Sheriff’s Department and area emergency service personnel for the 28th Annual National Night Out. Sheriff Greg Oeth says there will be grilling and chilling at the Cynthiana Town Park on Tuesday, August 2, as his department participates in the National Night Out event from 5 until 7 p.m. The idea behind National Night Out is to bring law enforcement, public safety, community leaders, and area residents together in a way that lasts more than just one night. Oeth says “we believe this is a way to establish relationships that will help fight crime and community problems all year long.” The nationwide event will involve more than 15,000 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases around the world. Communities all over the country take part in National Night Out to strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships while also sending criminals a message that they’re an unwanted scourge. In all, more than 36 million people are expected to participate in America’s August 2nd Night Out Against Crime effects. On that night, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., residents are asked to lock their doors, turn on outside lights and spend the evening outside with their neighbors in a show of solidarity and as an exhibit of community support against crime and illegal drug activity. “Programs such as National Night Out provide us with great opportunities to build good relationships with the residents we serve each and every day,” said Sheriff Oeth. “By having the trust and support of residents in our communities, and through their help in reporting suspicious activities and crime, puts us in a position to win every time.” Hamburgers and hotdogs will be served starting at 5 p.m while supplies last. Contact the Posey County Sheriff’s Department at 812-838-3541, if you would like to help with this event.

Tractors such as these will be on display this weekend at the annual Keck-Gonnerman Farm Equipment show at the Posey County Fairgrounds. Photo by Leica Butler Photography

Posey connection leads team to Bronco World Series

By Dave Pearce A southern Indiana 12-man baseball team with strong Posey County connections will open Bronco World Series play in Monterey, Calif., at 7:30 on August 4. Mark Peerman is a former Mount Vernon High School and Southeastern Illinois College baseball star and is now one of the coaches for the team. Peerman also played for Union University in Jackson, Tennessee. Peerman said he was still in shock when contacted at his rural Mount Vernon home on Sunday afternoon. Peerman had arrived home only a couple hours earlier from Joliet, Ill., where the team consisting of his son Dalton Peerman and Mount Vernon teammate Bryan Hensley won the Zone tournament. Hensley is the son of Lynn and Tina Hensley. The road to a Bronco-league sponsored trip to California has not been an easy one. The Evansville East League All-Star team first had to win five games in Lafayette, Ind., last weekend to get a shot at playing for the Zone championship this weekend in Chicago. The team went 3-0 in pool play in the Lafayette tournament before winning the final two games to capture the title. That title earned the team the right to play for the trip to California in Joliet over the weekend. But in order to qualify, they would have to duplicate last weekend’s feat and win the zone. “There was some stiff competition there,” Peerman said. “We had to beat the team that went to the World Series last year.” But riding the pitching arm of Hensley and the bat of the junior Peerman, the team was able not only to overMount Vernon native and Evansville East All-Star come the defending zone champions but also anyone else team coach Mark Peerman is flanked by his son Dalton, who stood in the way of the team’s ultimate goal. left, and Bryan Hensley, right following the victory that “Bryan Hensley pitched five innings in first pool game will send the team to Monterey, Calif., this week to play against defending North Zone champion, Channahon and in the expense-paid trip to compete in the Bronco World then came back and pitched (a complete game) seven Series. Thw two boys are the top two hitters on the team innings in the championship game, Peerman said. “He struck out 27 batters in 12 innings.” and both are pitchers, as well.

Low As

But the other Posey County connection also made waves. Each of the Mount Vernon players went 2-for-3 in the championship game, a 9-1 romp over Channahon, the defending zone champions and a team they had to defeat in pool play in order to get to the finals. Peerman is leading the team with a .628 batting average while Hensley is second on the team batting .548. “It took us a little bit to get going,” Peerman said. “But we beat them 10-4 in the first game. “Then we came back and beat Murphysboro 16-3, Kankakee 18-0, Oak Park 17-6, and then Channahon 9-1 in the final.” The team’s overall record is 18-3 as they won two of the three tournaments they played in preparation for the Bronco League-sanction events. The Pony League picks up the cost of the flights, meals and hotel costs for the players and coaches. The team is planning to leave Wednesday. The team will get to see how baseball is played around the world as it opens play against a Salinas, CA on Thursday before an off day on Friday. On Saturday, the team will face the Asia Pacific Zone winner, Taoyuan , Taiwan. On Sunday, the team will face the winner of the South Zone, likely a team from somewhere in Florida before an off day on Monday. On Tuesday, the team will conclude pool play against the Puerto Rican winner, Bayamon (Santa Juanita). . The team must finish either first of second in its pool of five to continue to the semifinals. The event championship will be played on Thursday, Aug. 11. The MLB Channel could pick up the game for television. Peerman says he could be a little biased but feels like the two Posey County boys have been a very big part of the reason the team has been able to win. He has coached the two boys in both baseball in football the past few years and is excited about the opportunity to coach them in such a prestigious event. “I’m just really proud of these boys,” Peerman said of his team. “Gees, we are flying to California to play baseball. How much better can it get?”

South Gibson 15-year-olds win state title, advance to tournament play By Steve Joos The South Gibson 15-year-old Babe Ruth All-Star baseball team advanced to the Ohio Valley Regional and played at Owensboro over the weekend. The other two teams got into trouble with Newburgh. The 14-year-old stars dropped a 5-4 heartbreaker at Newburgh in last week’s state championship game, while the 13-year-olds fell to Newburgh 19-9 in a weather-delayed semifinal contest at Haubstadt. The 15-year-olds earned their trip to Owensboro by beating Scott Township 5-2 for their second straight state title. It was the team’s second match-up with Scott on the McCutchanville team’s home field, and it was a little bit tougher for South Gibson, which had steamrolled its previous opponents by a combined score of 36-2, including a 16-2 romp over Scott in their tourney opener. In the championship, it was closer than the others had been, something coach Zac Voegel hoped to use as a learning experience for his club. Martin had three hits, while Blake Wildeman had one hit, a clutch two-run single in the bottom of the fifth inning which stretched the lead from 3-2 to 5-2 and basically put the game away. Taylor Brown hit ninth in the batting order, but had one hit and two walks, scoring three of South Gibson’s runs. Brown also made a sliding catch in right field after he fell down for the defensive highlight of the evening. South Gibson jumped out to a 3-0 lead before Scott scored in the top of the fourth inning and then closed to within a run in the fifth. “I thought we played well,” Voegel said. “This was a good tournament, it’s a win and at the end of the day, a win’s a win.” The start of the game was delayed for almost two hours due to rain and lightning. South Gibson posted a pair of 10-0 shutouts in between meetings with Scott, first blanking Jasper and then whitewashing Princeton. Against Jasper, Wildeman and Pedro Duran combined for the win, with Wildeman ringing up six strikeouts in four innings, while tossing a four-hitter.

Brooks Martin tripled to open the game, then Wildeman doubled in Martin and Reid Wagner (who drew a one-out walk) as part of the 15-year-olds’ three-ruin first inning. Singles by Gabe Steinmetz and Brandon Staback opened the second with singles to ignite a four-run uprising which stretched the lead to 7-0. “I thought it was a pretty good performance,” Voegel said. “We were selective, we took pitches at the plate. When you win 10-0, you pretty much don’t have much to complain about.” Connor Motz added a pinch double against Jasper. That win, combined with the victory over Scott, gave South Gibson the top seed after pool play and the 15-year-olds proceed to mow down Princeton 10-0 in six innings. Wildeman collected three hits, including a pair of doubles, and scored two runs, while Staback added two. Ryan Gish, Martin, Luke Schapker, Wagner, Dylan Wright, Brown, and Duran each had a hit. Voegel complemented Jasper and Princeton for the effort they showed despite being overmatched. The 15-year-olds split their first two games in Kentucky, losing to Wedeking County, Ohio 15-5 Saturday after beating Hancock County, KY., 6-2 in their opening game Friday. The tournament schedule was disrupted by rain Saturday, forcing the Regional to play six games on Sunday, with South Gibson squaring off against the hosts from Owensboro-Daviess County Sunday night. The 14-year-olds were also held up by the weather in their semifinal game against Bloomington at Newburgh. When the rain and lightning (mostly the latter) finally cleared, South Gibson came away with a 24-8 win in six innings under the 10-run rule. Those were the first runs the 14-year-olds yielded after opening the tournament with three straight shutouts. South Gibson fell behind 5-0 in their game with Newburgh, but battled back to within a run at 5-4, only to leave the bases loaded in the seventh inning. The 13-tear-olds had everything going for them until play resumed 24 hours after their game at Haubstadt was called due to the

weather. “We had the momentum,” coach Jeremy Blankenberger said. “We wanted to finish the game, but the weather just wasn’t going to let it happen that way. We knew we were going to come back and we wanted to finish it yesterday, but they (Newburgh) come back and swung the bats today.” Blankenberger was pleased with the way his team came back after Newburgh plated five runs in the top of the sixth to tie the game and added that South Gibson played with Newburgh for six innings, despite the one-sided final score. Matt Bertram’s three-run homer helped erase South Gibson’s early lead as the first four Newburgh batters reached base in the top of the sixth. After South Gibson knotted things up with two runs in the bottom of the inning, Newburgh unloaded with one out in the top of the seventh, scoring the go-ahead run on a double, a walk and consecutive bunt singles. Two more batters reached base and two more runs scored before the second out was recorded, and then the barrage started again. Will Randall and Jake Kough also homered for Newburgh. The 13-year-olds put up one more comeback try in the bottom of the seventh, But Logan Elpers popped up to third with the

bases loaded, ending the game,. “We swung the bats real well (before the game was suspended),” Blankenberger said. “We out them (in the early innings). I know we played with them and they were scared. They were scared in the sixth inning, so we were proud of the way the kids played today.” Blankenberger was pleased with the way kids played, going from an 0-2 finishing in an exhibition tourney to a 3-1 finish at state, amassing at lease 10 hits in each game. Josh Elpers had three hits, including a double, while Mason Mockabee also had three blows, including a double and reached base all four times. Mason Mockabee also had three blows, including a double and reached base all four times. Austin Graves, Nick Virdon, Logan Elpers and Kyle Brakie each had two hits, while Abe Kiesel and Cameron Reisinger each had hits. “I enjoyed coaching them,” Blankenberger said. “So did my assistants, my brother John Blankenberger and Charlie Arnett. We were proud of the way they played and pleased with them, even after the first tournament.” But, like the 14-year-olds, they just couldn’t get around Newburgh.

Brittlebank enjoys second-place finish, sends contingent to Milstadt By Steve Joos The Brittlebank age group swim team may need a bus for this weekend’s trip to the Milstadt All-Star meet. Twenty-one Barracudas qualified for the meet at Belleville, Ill., with their performances in Saturday’s Illiana Conference meet at Fairfield. The Cudas came in second at Fairfield with four high-point winters, including Maiya Courey (10 and under girls), Jayce Hamilton (10 and under boys), Todd Ghrist (12 and under boys) and Hannah Cross (14 and under girls). Then there were the Milstadt qualifiers. The All-Star meet will be a family affair for the Ghrists (Todd and Meagan), the Hueftles (Jonathan and Emily), the Hamiltons (Kayden and Jayce), the Mintons (Phillip and Danielle), the Chaffins (Jaylana and Jonathan), the Russells (Kati and McKenzie) and the Coureys (Maiya and Alyana), as those seven clans will make up two-thirds of the Brittlebank contingent at Milstadt. The rest of the qualifiers include Cross, Ben Gluckert, Adam Blunt, Jordan Crabtree, Ashley Walls, Liz Saltzman, D.A. Wilson, Ben Zickmund and Jenny Koch. The Cudas withdrew from Tuesday’s triangular meet at McLeansboro, citing parents’ concerns over safety, according to pool manager Ruth Fulwider. The McLeansboro pool is quite shallow, the Brittlebank manager explained, adding

that it would be too shallow for Indiana regulations if it was located here. Illiana Conference swim meet: Eight and under boys’ 25-freestyle: K.

cial (Team Linex) 25-19 to pull out first place for the season on the league’s position night. Country Financial had paced the loop for most of the season. Third place went to the Young Guns, after they escaped Hoehn Plastics (formerly O’Risky Excavating) in a 22-21 nail-biter that the Young Guns won in the last inning. Ritchie Mason’s team accepted a forfeit over Marty Fischer’s team in the last game of the evening, although the two teams played a four-inning contest to close things out. Friday’s games each came a week after Country Financial had survived a 24-20 shootout with the Silver Bell and HoehnO’Risky had been massacred by the Young Guns 23-3.

Key wins WHCC title Sam Key will enter Kentucky Wesleyan University later this fall with an impressive resume as a standout golfer at Mount Vernon High School and a Western Hills Country Club championship. Key won the title recently with a two-over par total of 144 (71-73), beating Mitch Collins (146) by two strokes.

Basketball is basketball for new Mount Vernon mentor By Steve Joos Marc Hostettler’s background as a basketball coach has been a bit more advanced than the high school level. The new Mount Vernon boys’ hoop mentor was a point guard for Bruce Pearl’s NCAA Division II national championship team in 1995, which was the pinnacle of his four years at the University of Southern Indiana. After that, he coached for Pearl and his successor, Rick Herdes, and was also an assistant at Longwood University in Farmville, VA as part of 11-year coaching career before taking three years to work in the mortgage and insurance business. Now he’s back in the gym as coach of the Wildcats, replacing Gary Wilsey, who resigned after his wife, was transferred to a job in Columbus. What kind of differences might Hostetter find in going from the higher pressure of college hoops to high school basketball? It should be a big difference, right? Nor really, says Hostetter, “Overall, basketball is basketball,” he said. “When you step between the lines, there’s very little differences, as far as rules go. I’ve had a great deal of success as a player and a coach and once we get, there, I’ll be excited about it.” Hostetter took a three-year break from coaching after some of that college-level

pressure started to take its roll. “The recruiting (in college basketball) was beginning to take a toll with the nights spent in hotel rooms,” Hostetter said, “I decided to give the business world a shot. I needed a break after 11 years of coaching, plus four years as a player and high school, I felt like I’d been probably worn down a bit. But the last three years have been a great opportunity to get reacquainted with my family, but more than anything, I have a passion for the sort and I really missed that involvement in helping young men and watching them grow.” There will be different distractions and different ways that the coaches can motivate players, Hostetter said. The opportunity to work with the team in classroom and the community, as well as on the court, will be a primary focus, the coach added. Hostetter is excited about the team’s prospects, as are the players and fans, he said. “When we get everybody together in the room for that first practice in November, there will be a lot of energy and a lot of passion for the game in that room,” Hostetter said. “We have some ability, we have to harness that, we have to get everybody on the same page and that will take some time. Overall, our goal is going to be tough manto-man defense and to be competitive game

in and game out, improving every day and at the end of the season, we hope to put ourselves in a position to compete for championships.” The Cats will try and be aggressive as possible, the coach said, adding that the actual type of game will vary from year to year, depending on talent. They will try to be aggressive and be mentally strong on the offensive and defensive end, the coach said, adding that the team will try and be competitive game in and game out. “We’ll start off in man-to-man and then things will depend on who’s on the team,” Hostetter said. “If you like to watch basketball where the kids compete and play hard, you’ll like to watch our style of basketball.” Hostetter hopes to bring a consistent program at Mount Vernon and has amassed a staff that will fit that bill. Dusty Boyer, Kevin Krizan and Doug Blair are back as assistants this season. The coach has seen just about everything as a college coach and feels that will help in facing whatever situations might arise. The Cats were 8-16 last season and building some consistency will be a priority for Mount Vernon, A native of Greene County, Hostetter graduated from White River Valley High School, where he drew the attention of coaches Pearl and Herdes,

St. Wendel Fall ball set

who brought him to USI. At White River Valley (which consolidated with L&M after the coach’s freshman year), Hostetter was part of two semi-state teams before moving on the Southern Indiana. He hadn’t planned on coaching, but once he started assisting Pearl, coaching baseball got in his blood. and he signed up for a pair of tours with the Screaming Eagles, working with Pearl and then going to work for Mike Lee at Longwood before coming back to Evansville to work under Herdes for three years. Hostetter lives with his wife, Nikki, and their two sons, eight-year-old Leo and threeyear-old Landon, on the West Side of Evansville, 10 miles from Mount Vernon. In addition to his coaching duties, Hostetter will be a teacher’s assistant in the computer lab in Mount Vernon while working on his teacher’s certificate. Right now, he’ll work on conditioning with the basketball players who are not participating in a fall sport. “I’m very excited about being here,” Hostetter said. “I’ve prepared for it for a long time to be a head coach and be part of a community like Mount Vernon, to be a part of a school with a great academic tradition. They’re going to get my best.” Now he has to start getting the hoop Wildcats ready for December.

The St. Wendel Athletic Club is now taking registrations for a fall baseball league open to boys ages 8-14. The teams will be split into three divisions, including 8to 9-year-olds, 10- to 11-yearolds and 12- to 14-year olds.

Young Mount Vernon golfer a fixture at WHCC, learns how to be winner By Steve Joos Jackson May really likes golf. The 9-year-old incoming fourth grader at St. Matthew’s school in Mount Vernon has been interested in the links since he was hitting a plastic ball with a plastic club as a 2-year-old. He’s been playing ever since, and it’s starting to pay off for the Mount Vernon youngster. “When I hit the ball and it’s in the air, I have a good idea of where’s going,” Jackson said. “I have a good idea of whether it’s a good shot or not.” Most of his shots were fairly good recently, as Jackson won boys’ 7- to 9-yearold age group title in the Evansville Junior Golf Association (EJGA) championships, held at the Eagle Valley Golf Course. May won by two strokes with a 73, after finishing fourth as a 7-year-old and second last year as an 8-year-old. “Jackson has always been playing golf,” his mother, Donett May, said. “From hitting the ball around the house when he was two. He got his first set of clubs when he was three (yes, they make them for players that young, and the Mays still have Jackson’s). He always watched it on television, and we’d take him along when we went golfing.” He’s even built a par-three course around his family’s Mount Vernon house, digging the holes himself and marking each of the holes with orange flags. While it’s a bit cumbersome when dad Eric May has to move the flags to mow the lawn, but the elder May doesn’t seem

to mind, considering the enjoyment Jackson gets from golfing. One big thrill for Jackson came last year, when he and his parent attended the PGA championship at Atlanta, Ga. “We’ve gone (to the PGA) a few times, and last year we went and took Jackson with us,” his mother explained. “The guys were just great, they were very gracious, they talked to Jackson, gave him some of their golf balls and they signed his hat.” That hat was autographed by Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson, Dustin Johnson and Paul Casey, among others. Casey is Jackson’s personal favorite. While at Atlanta, the Mays also got to meet Evansville native and PGA tour player Jeff Overton. Jackson regularly plays at Western Hill Country Club, where club pro Heath Rigsby helps with his game and most of the members are supportive of his efforts, accoriding to his parents. Jackson has also played at Eagle Valley, McDonald’s, Wesselman and Tee-Time. During the EJGA season, he was usually in a rotation with Zeke Neihaus and Drew Cates. He enjoys the competition and has a room full of trophies to go along with this year’s championship. Jackson will move up to the 10-11 age group next season, which means he will be in a tough class with a number of stronger players, Mrs. May said. Not surprisingly, Jackson would like to be a professional golfer when he grows up. After all, it seems like he’s always played golf.

Tough schedule announced for 2011 USI Men’s Basketball The University of Southern Indiana men’s basketball team tips-off the 2011-12 campaign with an exhibition game at the Big 10 Conference’s Purdue University before opening a regular season calendar that includes 15 home games at the Physical Activities Center. The schedule also includes a home-and-home series with NCAA Division II national champion and GLVC rival Bellarmine University, along with the home-and-home series with the rest of the GLVC East Division -- Kentucky Wesleyan College, the University of Indianapolis, Northern Kentucky University, Saint Joseph’s College, Lewis University, and the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. USI’s home schedule also includes home dates with Drury University and Missouri University of Science & Technology from the GLVC West Division. The Eagles are on the road against the West’s William Jewell College and Rockhurst University. USI, Bellarmine, Drury, KWC, UIndy, and NKU were NCAA Division II Tournament teams a year ago. GLVC play starts the first week of December for USI when it travels to Lewis on December 1 and the UWParkside on December 3. “The GLVC will be as strong as ever,” said Head Coach Rodney Watson. “The East Division of the GLVC may be the toughest in all of college basketball. “Bellarmine is the defending national champion, while

USI, NKU, KWC, and Indianapolis were NCAA II Tournament teams,” concluded

Watson. In addition to the nine conference games at the PAC, USI

hosts the Bill Joergens Memorial Classic and four additional non-conference foes.

The fifth annual Bill Joergens Memorial Classics pits the Screaming Eagles and Bellar-

mine versus Malone University and Indiana UniversitySoutheast.

Basketball is the same for new Wildcat boys’ hoop coach By Steve Joos Marc Hostettler’s background as a basketball coach has been a bit more advanced than the high school level. The new Mount Vernon boys’ hoop mentor was a point guard for Bruce Pearl’s NCAA Division II national championship team in 1995, which was the pinnacle of his four years at the University of Southern Indiana. After that, he coached for Pearl and his successor, Rick Herdes, and was also an assistant at Longwood University in Farmville, VA as part of 11-year coaching career before taking three years to work in the mortgage and insurance business. Now he’s back in the gym as coach of the Wildcats, replacing Gary Wilsey, who resigned after his wife, was transferred to a job in Columbus. What kind of differences might Hostetter find in going from the higher pressure of college hoops to high school basketball? It should be a big difference, right? Nor really, says Hostetter, “Overall, basketball is basketball,” he said. “When you step

between the lines, there’s very little differences, as far as rules go. I’ve had a great deal of success as a player and a coach and once we get, there, I’ll be excited about it.” Hostetter took a three-year break from coaching after some of that college-level pressure started to take its roll. “The recruiting (in college basketball) was beginning to take a toll with the nights spent in hotel rooms,” Hostetter said, “I decided to give the business world a shot. I needed a break after 11 years of coaching, plus four years as a player and high school, I felt like I’d been probably worn down a bit. But the last three years have been a great opportunity to get reacquainted with my family, but more than anything, I have a passion for the sort and I really missed that involvement in helping young men and watching them grow.” There will be different distractions and different ways that the coaches can motivate players, Hostetter said. The opportunity to work with the team in classroom and the community, as well as on the court, will be

a primary focus, the coach added. Hostetter is excited about the team’s prospects, as are the players and fans, he said. “When we get everybody together in the room for that first practice in November, there will be a lot of energy and a lot of passion for the game in that room,” Hostetter said. “We have some ability, we have to harness that, we have to get everybody on the same page and that will take some time. Overall, our goal is going to be tough man-to-man defense and to be competitive game in and game out, improving every day and at the end of the season, we hope to put ourselves in a position to compete for championships.” The Cats will try and be aggressive as possible, the coach said, adding that the actual type of game will vary from year to year, depending on talent. They will try to be aggressive and be mentally strong on the offensive and defensive end, the coach said, adding that the team will try and be competitive game in and game out. “We’ll start off in man-to-man and then things will depend on

who’s on the team,” Hostetter said. “If you like to watch basketball where the kids compete and play hard, you’ll like to watch our style of basketball.” Hostetter hopes to bring a consistent program at Mount Vernon and has amassed a staff that will fit that bill. Dusty Boyer, Kevin Krizan and Doug Blair are back as assistants this season. The coach has seen just about everything as a college coach and feels that will help in facing whatever situations might arise. The Cats were 8-16 last season and building some consistency will be a priority for Mount Vernon, A native of Greene County, Hostetter graduated from White River Valley High School, where he drew the attention of coaches Pearl and Herdes, who brought him to USI. At White River Valley (which consolidated with L&M after the coach’s freshman year), Hostetter was part of two semi-state teams before moving on the Southern Indiana. He hadn’t planned on coaching, but once he started assisting Pearl,

THANK YOU To say we overwhelmed would be an understatement in regard to all the people we heard from regarding our 60th anniversary. We are so touched to be remembered and our lives have been made richer by knowing each one of you. Also to our wonderful family, love and gratitude for the great night of celebration, and all you do for us. 60 years IS a long time, every day we have together is a wonderful gift.

coaching baseball got in his blood. and he signed up for a pair of tours with the Screaming Eagles, working with Pearl and then going to work for Mike Lee at Longwood before coming back to Evansville to work under Herdes for three years. Hostetter lives with his wife, Nikki, and their two sons, eightyear-old Leo and three-year-old Landon, on the West Side of Evansville, 10 miles from Mount Vernon. In addition to his coaching duties, Hostetter will be a teacher’s assistant in the computer lab in Mount Vernon while working on his teacher’s certificate. Right now, he’ll work on conditioning with the basketball players who are not participating in a fall sport. “I’m very excited about being here,” Hostetter said. “I’ve prepared for it for a long time to be a head coach and be part of a community like Mount Vernon, to be a part of a school with a great academic tradition. They’re going to get my best.” Now he has to start getting the hoop Wildcats ready for December.

THANK YOU We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Mt. Vernon community for their incredible show of love, support, and encouragement during our recent troubles. The good folks of St. Peters UMC and Faith UMC orchestrated a benefit dinner that was beyond compare. For all of those who planned, donated food, worked, performed, or came to eat and fellowship: Thank you so much! Pastor Jeff set a monetary goal for the benefit, and you exceeded it... WOW! We never realized we knew so many wonderful people until everyone came together in one place to help us out. Also, many thanks to those who have sent cards and gifts to help us keep up with things through this challenging summer. It’s your generosity that has enabled us to get back and forth to Indy and Newburgh for surgeries, consultations and chemo. There is nothing that can compare to living in a small town, and Mt. Vernon is the best of the BEST! God bless you all. DENNY, TERESA, AND ABI BLOODWORTH

Legal Ads 2011-082 NOTICE OF REAL PROPERTY TAX SALE Posey County Indiana Beginning 10:00:00 AM, 9/12/2011 Hovey House, Commissioners’ Room Time Posey County Pursuant to the laws of the Indiana General Assembly, notice is hereby given that the following described property is listed for sale for delinquent taxes and/or special assessments. The county auditor and county treasurer will apply on or after 8/26/2011 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 8/26/2011. 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 9/12/2011 at the Hovey House, Commissioners’ Room 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 6-1.1-24-5 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 Wednesday, September 12, 2012 for an initial offering. The period of redemption may expire Tuesday, January 10, 2012 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 9/12/2011 or during the duration of the sale. This notice of real property tax sale, and the tax sale itself are undertaken and will be conducted pursuant to the requirements of the laws of the State of Indiana which regulate the sale of land for delinquent taxes, pursuant to I.C. 6-1.1-24-1 et seq. The County does not warrant the accuracy of the street address or common description of the property, and a misstatement in the key number or street address does not invalidate an otherwise valid sale.
