Photo by Dave Pearce, Courtesy of Fox 7 ABC News By Dave Pearce Valentine’s Day will never be the same for multiple members of the Posey County community. A four-month-old boy is dead and his biological father, Alex Lear, is in the Posey County Jail charged with murder and neglect of a Dependent Causing Death. According to Mount Vernon Police Chief Grant Beloat, on the evening of Feb. 14, 2011, at approximately 7:20 p.m., the Mount Vernon Police Department responded to Apt. No. 53 at Green Valley Apartments on the north side of the town. Beloat said the Posey County EMS and the Mount Vernon Fire De-
partment also responded to the call. “The call was in response to the call that a four-month-old child who was not breathing and was unresponsive,” Beloat said. “The child received medical attention and was transported to Deaconess Hospital in Evansville at approximately 8:03 p.m. The child received medical attention at that facility and was then transferred to Deaconess Gateway Hospital in Warrick County where at approximately 11:45, the child was pronounced dead.” The child has been identified as Bryson James Clardy. Reliable sources have indicated that Lear had been babysitting for his child and another three-year-old child of the woman on the date of the death. The other child had left the residence at some prior time that day. Lear is also reportedly the father of another small child who lives in Posey County. Beloat continued that local officials had been working with the office of the Warrick County Coroner Eddie Goff. An autopsy was conducted at around 11 a.m. on Wednesday and it was determined that the cause of death was, in fact, a homicide. According to the probable cause affidavit, Bryson had a fractured upper arm, brain swelling and multiple other bruises. Goff said that on the evening of Feb. 14, 2011, his office was advised of the death of a

Wadesville woman killed in Keck Bypass accident By Dave Pearce In a week filled with tragedy in Posey County, a Wadesville woman was killed in a head on crash on the William Keck Bypass northeast of Mount Vernon. The accident occurred around 8 a.m. According to Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth, a grain truck
being driven by 48-year-old Alan Rubenacker of Dahlgran, Ill., was west-bound on the bypass when a Chrysler minivan crossed the center line into the path of the grain truck. The east-bound van was being driven by 74-year-old Norma Bonnell of Wadesville. According to the sheriff, Bonnell’s van crossed the center line
and into the path of an empty Freightliner grain truck. According to Posey County Coroner Jay Price, Bonnell was pronounced dead at the scene. Rubenacker was not injured. Routine drug and alcohol tests revealed that neither drugs nor alcohol were involved. Extrication equipment was used for more than half an hour.
New Posey Prosecutor Clowers faces ‘baptism by fire’ By Pam Robinson New Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers is becoming all too familiar with the spotlight. Within his first six weeks on the job, Clowers is faced with handling a murder trial at the same time he is waging war on drugs, namely meth, in Posey County. Before news of the murder broke, Clowers talked last Wednesday about working with Posey County judges and city and county law enforcement in tackling the meth problem. Already, he credits the team effort with a conviction in his first meth trial on Friday, Feb. 11. “I’m proud the transition has been smooth,” he says. “I’m proud of our staff. I’m honored to be working with the type of judges and police we have. But we are not satisfied. We’re working to make everything better and to address the problems we’re facing.” Clowers is especially pleased with local law enforcement. “We have a narcotics unit made up of an investigator from the prosecutor’s office, a city police officer, and a sheriff’s deputy. They’re an excellent team,” he says. “We have a plan to be more proactive. The investigations they are conducting, we can’t talk about; however, I think we’ll see great results from them.” In fact, Clowers singles out law enforcement for his highest praise.
Travis Clowers, who took the office of Posey County Prosecutor in early January, faces the media following the initial court appearance of Alex Lear this week. Photo by Dave Pearce “The city police officers and the sheriff’s hope the public knows what good officers we office—I’m just so impressed by the level of ex- have in this county.” pertise that the detectives have.

Reaching the age of 85, 90 or 100 is a feat accomplished by more people today than in the past. Thanks to advances in medical treatments and preventive care, more and more men and women are living beyond the average age expectancy. But what about the concept of living well beyond 100? It’s more common than one would think. According to The Gerontology Research Group, there may very well be hundreds of living supercentenarians, or those who are at least 110 years of age, worldwide.

Palmers are Kiwanis Service Award recipients
David & Terri Palmer are the recipients of the 2011 Poseyville Kiwanis Community Service Award. Most people remember Terri as the North Posey High School band director from 1990 - 2003. She took over a struggling program and by 1998 had the band marching in the state finals.
She made return trips to the finals with the band in 2001 and 2003. Her husband David has been with her every step of the way, not only encouraging her, but the students and other parents as well. The Palmers are also active in other organizations including Wadesville
Christian Church, and they established 2 scholarships for deserving students at North Posey. Former band members say the Palmers did more than just teach them how to play a musical instrument. They also taught them the value of hard work and what it means to be a family.

WMI News Before the advent of Presidents’ Day, school children celebrated Abraham Lincoln’s birthday on February 12 and George Washington’s birthday on February 22. Often those celebrations included the reading of essays about the lives of the great men. Students would make a mad rush to the library to find a book or encyclopedia for information. The goal was to learn more about their lives. Have you ever asked yourself, what your really known about these American icons? If the answer is not much, help is at hand. We have 101 books about Mr. Lincoln and 37 about Mr. Washington. It seems over time, more has been written about our 16th president that our 1st. And while our collection of Lincoln books is varied and exten-

By Sherry Graves sive, the newest offering on our shelves is about the father of our country. It is Washington : A Life by Ron Chrenow. Using the recent explosion in research into the life of Washington, Chernow presents us with a Washington who is real and credible rather that the aloof hero of our childhood essays. It is the book to read for the latest insights into the life of our first president. But maybe history bores you. Not a problem. There are always cherry trees – or at least trees. It is not too early to start thinking about tree care and maintenance.
Or, maybe, you want to plant a tree. Remember, the WMI holds New Harmony’s Tree City Library. No matter what your question about trees, we have a book with an answer. Just come in and ask about the Tree City Collection. Then again, maybe yard work is not your thing, but you love cherries. Don’t forget that the WMI is a great place to find a recipe. For 101 ways to use cherries we have books, magazines and the Internet as resources for finding that perfect recipe. From George Washington to cherry trees – you can find it all at the WMI.

New Harmony continues to grow east By Dave Pearce New Harmony is on the move and after Thursday evening’s town council meeting, it is growing. Members of the Town Council voted unanimously to annex the property commonly known as “the old fairgrounds” just east of the town. The “old fairgrounds” is the site of the EMS/ Fire Department Building which was recently approved to be built with funds from a state grant with a town match. Later in the meeting, Town Clerk Karla Atkins suggested that the town put $100,000 from the gas operating fund to eventually be used from the general fund as a portion of the matching funds which much be provided by the town. But the size of the town is also growing in other ways. Park Board President Jeanne Maudlin announced that four new trees were planted this week to replace trees which had been removed for one reason or another. The town is also growing on the Internet as Board member Linda Warrum announced that a new website is now available to provide information regarding New Harmony. Resident Jim Norton was instrumental in establishing the site at www.newharmony-in,gov. Warrum also read a portion of an email she received from Pamela Louks, the community and urban coordinator from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry. The note was in regards to the town’s chili cook-off held last fall to help raise money for trees. “I was very impressed with the Chili Cook-Off/Tree City/ Arbor Day/ Park event,” Louks said in the letter. “What a great idea. To my knowledge, New Harmony is the only one having a chili cook-off to raise funds for trees.” The letter went on to say that Louks said she would be happy to present this year’s Tree City Award in person at this year’s chili cook-off. “This event and the connection to trees in the town and combining it with Arbor Day and raising funds is just too good for me to miss,” Louks write. “She has already been invited,” Warrum said with a smile. The event is set for October 15. In other business: •The Board approved the hiring of Jan Endicott Kahle in a part-time position to use her expertise in organizing and planning the Bicentennial Celebration. She will serve on a contract basis, working 10 to 12 hours per month. •Board member Karen Walker announced that volunteers are needed for the Tuesday, March 29 “Clean up the Hill” day. During the annual clean-up day, volunteers clean alongside highway 69 as it goes up the hill past the cemetery south up the hill. •Town Board President David Campbell announced that students from the University of Southern Indiana will conduct a senior citizen health and wellness fair on Friday, Feb. 25, 2011, from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. The event will be held at the Ribeyre Gymnasium and a complimentary light lunch will be served. Free screenings will be done in the areas of cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, BMI, and vision. Four electronic blood pressure machines will be given away. The event is sponsored
Murder, from Page 1A you are dealing with the death of anyone, you always know there is a family behind that death and it breaks one’s heart. But when you are dealing with a fourmonth-old child, it tears at you emotionally. It is hard for myself, as the coroner, and my deputies. But we have a job to do and we are doing that thoroughly and working seamlessly with the law enforcement community in Posey County.” “Investigators questioned the man who is believed to be the baby’s biological father,” Beloat continued. “He was subsequently charged with murder and neglect of a child resulting in death, a Class A Felony, and battery resulting in the death of a child, also a Class A Felony.” Beloat said the man believed to be the biological father of the child, Timothy

Clowers, from Page 1A ment. Clowers reports that when he was campaigning last year, voters told him meth was the number one problem facing the county and urged him to be more aggressive in prosecuting those involved in the manufacture and sale of meth. “When I was elected, I felt like it was a mandate that we want the meth problem addressed differently,” he says. “Part of that is when we come in and we put a case in front of a jury and the evidence is there, we need them to convict. “When they are serving as jurors, this is not like TV. This is not like CSI. These crimes are not solved in an hour by some miraculous piece of DNA that was found by a slick detective wearing sunglasses,” he insists. “This is real life. If the evidence is in front of them, we need them to convict. That’s part of solving the problem.” At the same time, Clowers hopes to step up rehabilitation for meth users. From his work with the Vanderburgh County Circuit Court, he is encouraged by results from drug court, an intense treatment program with daily drug testing geared at breaking the addiction cycle.

Robb indicated that there are 40,000 sand bags stored at various sites and this approval will allow the bags to be stored in one place. The storage container is non-permanent and potentially moveable. •New Harmony resident Don Mann has agreed to serve on the board of the Maple Hill Cemetery. •Three New Harmony Boy Scouts were in attendance to earn their Merit Badges for Citizenship in the Community. On hand were Joseph Blevins, Jonah Blevins, and Cade Latshaw. •Campbell announced that Tim Tilford has agreed to continue to serve on the Posey County Board of Zoning Appeals. •Jeannie Maudlin, representing the Workingmen’s Institute, asked residents for their input on what the library can do to encourage more local usage. Surveys are available at the Town Hall. •The board granted a sewer ordinance waiver to Sandy Brown, who owns unimproved property at 610 Murphy Street. Because of confusion as to the date she was to appear, she agreed to pay for the two months prior to the granting of the waiver.

Beloat confirmed that Lear does have a prior criminal history, but that there had never been a call involving this child. He indicated that Lear had been at home with the child since the mother had left for work at around noon. “Fortunately, we don’t have many homicides but that makes it even more tragic when it involves a four-month-old child,” Beloat said. “This is a rare occurrence.” Accused of killing the infant, Lear cried and whimpered as he was led in and out of the Posey County courthouse, and during his initial court appearance Friday morning. Lear was arrested Tuesday and formally charged
with murder, neglect of a dependent resulting in death and battery resulting in the death of four-monthold Bryson Clardy. During the appearance, Lear was determined to be an indigent and local attorney William Gooden was appointed to represent Lear. Gooden says he believes his client has a history of serious mental health problems. Posey County prosecutor Travis Clowers says he hasn’t asked the family about seeking the death penalty if Lear were to be convicted. He’s due back in court for a progress hearing on March 14. In the past four years, Lear has had a half dozen protective orders filed against him. He also has spent time in the Vanderburgh County Jail for battery, confinement and intimidation.

Posey County community needed for chance at fire truck By Valerie Werkmeister Poseyville Town Council members took necessary steps toward the grant process in their quest to fund a new rescue truck for the town and surrounding communities during their regular meeting last Wednesday. Council members approved a resolution with their approval to submit a grant to the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs to seek the grant. The town and Robb Township are each contributing $48,500 and the Posey County Community Foundation has also pledged $5,000. Poseyville Town Council President Bruce Baker stated the upcoming public hearing scheduled for Thursday, March 4, is extremely important for citizens to attend. Notes and minutes from the previous public hearings are being excluded in this round. The public is urged to attend in full support to exemplify the need for the truck in the community. The public hearing will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Poseyville Community Center.
Ken Gorbett made a request to install a 500-gallon gasoline tank from FS at the town garage. FS would supply the tank and pump and the town would need to construct a security fence around the tank. Town vehicles, lawn mowers and other equipment are currently filled at the Posey County Co-op on the opposite side of town which Gorbett noted can sometimes be an inconvenience. There are also times that receipts for gas purchases won’t print which causes problems tracking expenses for auditing purposes. Baker and council member Ron Fallowfield urged Gorbett to obtain additional quotes from other companies and report back to the council. No action on the request was taken during the meeting. Poseyville Town Marshall Doug Saltzman reminded the council that golf cart registration renewal is coming up. Registrations are renewed on an annual basis. Saltzman conducts the inspections and issues the permits.
Poseyville residents may contact the town hall to ask to schedule a time to meet with Saltzman. However, Saltzman requested that citizens not take checks to the town hall prior to their inspection, as he is the only one would can issue the approval. Saltzman also informed them that Posey County Sheriff Deputy Kevin Bratton will become a part-time deputy town marshal. Mark Seib appeared before the council as a representative of the Posey County Area Plan Commission. He asked for them to approve an amendment to current Poseyville Zoning Ordinance, 77-2. The amendment creates an appeals process for citizens in the event they disapprove of any decisions made by the Area Plan Commission. Council members approved the amendment. In addition, they also approved a $1,500 expenditure toward the process of updating the zoning books that affect all of the Posey County communities. Seib stated each community has been asked to support the project
to update the books and unify verbiage so that all communities have the same zoning ordinance language. Larry Robb, Posey County Emergency Management Service Director spoke to the council on the Code Red project. The county has recently received funding for the program that allows emergency personnel to pinpoint specific areas to contact via phone lines during an emergency. Robb stated that program can be used to notify citizens in a certain area or neighborhood that a boil order is in effect, or if a police or fire incident requires immediate evacuation of a certain area. He also indicated that as the program continues to develop, they will eventually be able to incorporate cell phones as points of contact. For now, only land-based phone lines are able to be contacted. The next regular meeting for the Poseyville Town Council will be held Wed., March 16, at 4:30 p.m.
Poseyville Christian Chili Fundraiser set for Feb. 26 “Remember The Poor” Galatians 2:10 At first glance, a stroll or a ride through our town will not give you the whole picture. As with any town, many of the nicer homes line the main streets. Never the less, Poseyville does have its share of needy citizens. This time of year is especially difficult. With higher heating bills, rising cost of health care and medicines, joblessness, etc., folks find themselves struggling just to keep a can of soup in the cupboard. One only has to look at the growing numbers of Food Pantry boxes that get picked up every other week at God’s New Posey County Extension Advisory Board members are Bill Bender, Connie Pearce, Storehouse Food Pantry in Barb Heldt, and guest speaker Dr. Fred Whiteford.
New members elected during Posey Extension Advisory Council meeting
Obituaries from Page A3
The Posey County Extension Advisory Council annual meeting was held on Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2011, at the Posey County Community Center. Current president Chris McCutchan welcomed everyone and a meal was serveed for members of the community who have contributed to the extension program throughout the past year. Also in attendance were several elected officials who were thanked for the generous monies allocated to the Posey County Extension programs which allow them to continue. Those in attendance heard reports from Chris Cash, 4-H Council president; Ruth Ries, Extension Homemakers president; Tom Schmitt, Treasurer for the Fair Board and Mark Seibert, President of the Community Center Board. McCutchan thanked the current board members: David Beste, Eleanor Buchanan, Mike Carlisle, Nancy Dougan, Steve Glaser, Russell Granderson, Warren Korff, Katy Lang, Chris McCutchan, Rhonda Moore, Phyllis Johnson and Mary Beth Williams-Gentil. Presented on the ballot and elected to replace out going board members were William Bender, Connie Pearce and Barb Heldt. The group then enjoyed an entertaining program on communication from Coordinator of Purdue University Pesticide Programs, Dr. Fred Whiteford. Whiteford has shared in writing two books. “The Queen of American Agriculture” a biography of Virginia Claypool Meredith and “The Grand Old Man” a biography of William Carroll Latta. Meredith managed a large prosperous farm in east-central Indiana that opened the door to Agriculture for women that had been closed in the past. Meredith has a women’s dorm named after on the West Lafayette campus. Latta had far reaching influence on agriculture at Purdue, in Indiana and at the national level. Latta laid the foundation upon which teaching, research and extension for agriculture for the state of Indiana first began. The evening adjourned with giving away of several door prizes. The Extension Board meeting dates for 2011 are March 14, June 21, September 20 and November 22. The meetings are open to the public. A special thanks to the meal sponsors: Old National Bank; Integra Bank, First Bank, Fifth Third Bank and CSB State Bank.

Science in action at St. Wendel School St. Wendel Catholic school has been participating in the Indiana Science Initiative pilot this year. All teachers, kindergarten through 8th grade attended professional development over the summer in 2010 to get trained on the science modules and student notebooking techniques. This method of teaching science is based on research that supports the benefits of inquirybased instruction. This approach to science gets the students engaged and allows them to explore, ask questions and solve problems. Each student has a science notebook in which they keep
organized notes while investigating the science topics, just like a real scientist. In their notebooks, they start with a question that involves an engaging scenario, they make predictions, come up with materials, develop procedures, make careful observations, discuss their ideas with peers, and analyze the data to come up with new ideas and understanding. The last part of the notebook includes a conclusion where the students state if their evidence supports their hypothesis or prediction and a reflection where they come up with new questions that they would like to research or in-

The students have been very excited about the science modules. They enjoy all of the hands-on investigations. They continue to improve their notebooking skills, which also dramatically improves writing and processing skills. The science modules come in crates full of all the materials needed to explore and investigate certain areas of science. The kindergarteners explored fabrics this year. In this module they became familiar with fabrics’ properties, discovered what happens when they are tested, and how they interact with other materials, including water. In second grade students investigated solids and liquids and how they change.

Infinite Potential is the theme this year and it embodies all the best about FFA members, from the most recognizable symbol of the organization, the blue corduroy jacket, a symbol of pride and tradition, to the bright future of agriculture and the traditions of leadership and hard work. More than half a million members around the nation will participate in National FFA Week activities at the local and state levels.

Teams needed for North Posey Relay By Valerie Werkmeister It may be difficult to think of warm summer activities like the American Cancer Society North Posey Relay for Life while in the midst of cool temperatures. Nevertheless, teams are asked to begin their plans for this year’s event to be held June 25 and 26 at the North Posey Junior-Senior High School. North Posey Relay for Life co-chairs Carolyn Higginson and Mary Peach are encouraging teams to sign up by February 23, even if all the members of the team are undecided. The pacesetter deadline has been set and North Posey has had the honor of winning that award for the past several years. Teams can sign up online by visiting the website www.relayforlife.org/northposeyin. Last year, there were 24 teams and this year’s goal has been set for 25. If you are thinking about organizing a team or need more information about how to sign up, contact Higginson at 874-3184. This year’s tailgating theme will surely invoke lots of creative ideas for teams to build on. Another way to get involved with relay is to save your quarters. The “Got a Quarter, Give a Quarter” campaign is back again this year. Relay organizers would like to see how many quarters can be obtained to line the track. One of the first fundraisers of the year for relay teams is fast approaching. For the past several years, Relay for Life team members have helped to organize and cook the Posey
County Co-op dinner on February 24. The dinner is held at the Community Center at the Posey County 4-H Fairgrounds. Preparations for the meal begin the night before at 5 p.m. at St. Francis. Help will be needed to make desserts, wash and peel potatoes and make coleslaw. The preparations will begin again at noon on February 24. Team members who would like to or are able to help serve dinner that evening are asked to be at the 4-H Community Center at 5 p.m. The community is invited to the annual Relay for Life Card Party on Wednesday, March 16 at St. Francis Cafeteria. Anyone who would like to make prize donations or contributions to the live auction held that evening should contact Karen Blaylock at 874 – 2240. Anyone who has recently been diagnosed with cancer and is facing treatments that will cause hair loss can contact Alice Simmons at Al’s Place in Poseyville at 874-3118. Simmons’ beauty salon is a designated wig donation center and she has helped many women find a wig they are comfortable wearing, free of charge. Wig and scarf donations are also accepted. After a wig is donated, Simmons arranges for them to be professionally cleaned and will style wigs for recipients. The next relay for life committee meeting will be held on Monday, March 7, at 6 p.m. in the North Elementary School library. New teams or team captains are encouraged to attend.
Learn more about 4-H, meeting March 3 Head, heart, hands, health: These four words are more commonly known as 4-H. This over 100-year-old tradition is our nation's largest youth service organization and is available at local, state, national and international levels to all youth. 4-H helps young people develop and improve valuable life skills such as self-confidence, leadership, citizenship and communication, in addition to being a fun activity for youth and families alike. Varying from club to club, the 4-H youth development program is free to join and has a wide variety of activities and events to offer. Locally, 4-H is supported by Purdue Extension-Posey County, as part of the US Department of Agriculture, and by trained and approved adult volunteers in the county. There are many reasons why youth should be encouraged to join 4-H. Through 4-H, youth are exposed to fun and exciting challenges that bring about education in numerous areas, from rocket science to cake decorating. With up to ten years of
membership possible, young people can participate in fun activities, tours and trips, complete exhibits for the annual Posey County 4-H Fair, as well as experience a learning adventure of a decade (or longer) and make memories that literally last a lifetime. 4-H is a program that strives to bring out the best in youth by providing opportunities for them, assisting them in getting involved in their communities, and teaching them the power that they have to make a difference. From a kid's perspective, 4-H is fun. They make new friends, take trips, and learn about things in which they have an interest. As one 4-H member said, “4-H is fun...plus you learn stuff!” Unfortunately, many people get the wrong impression that 4-H is just for kids who are raised in the country and have access to animals. Although animals are a large part of 4-H, there are hundreds of other opportunities for youth who aren't able to or have no interest in animals. To name just a few, the following 4-H projects are
available for youth: Aerospace, Arts & Crafts, Collections, Computer, Foods, Family Camping, Flowers, Genealogy, Models, Photography, Sports, and Weather. 4-H is learning by doing while participating in club and community events. Whether from the city or the country, youth can benefit by being 4-H members. Scholarships are available to 4-H’ers who go on to schooling beyond high school, and the experiences youth gain as 4-H’ers shape their world view for years to come. To learn more about Posey County 4-H, please plan to attend a 4-H family orientation meeting on Thursday, March 3, 6-7 p.m. at the Posey County Community Center on the fairgrounds, four miles south of New Harmony and twelve miles north of Mt. Vernon on Highway 69. If you cannot attend this informational meeting but would like to learn more about 4-H, please contact Purdue Extension-Posey County by calling 812-8381331 or emailing poseyces@ purdue.edu.

through community service such as assisting the Mt. Vernon Garden Club at the post office, coliseum, courthouse, and riverfront with their plantings. They are success-oriented students who are driven to achieve their goals. FFA gives many young people an important push to consider their futures- what kind of people, citizens and professionals they intend to be. FFA builds leaders, and leaders impact the future. National FFA Week is sponsored by Tractor Supply Company and Carhartt as a special project of the National FFA Foundation. The Foundation is the fundraising arm of the National FFA and supports programs by working with sponsors to raise funds for scholarships that are awarded to outstanding members.

North Posey FFA News By: Amanda Bender, FFA Reporter On Wednesday February 16 the North Posey FFA chapter journeyed to the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, Kentucky. This trip was a reward for FFA members who participated in the fruit sales and sold the set quota voted on by the chapter this past November. Student teacher Miss Ritter, Mr. Herrenbruck, and Mr. Wassmer accompanied the forty members. Members enjoyed the day by touring the exhibit halls and learning about new technologies in agriculture. The chapter would like to thank Ed Moll for driving the charter bus. The chapter will also be observing National FFA week during February 2125. On Tuesday, the each member will support their chapter by wearing their FFA jacket to school. Then, on Wednesday, the members
will wear their FFA t-shirts. On Wednesday evening, the novice and regular Chapter Meeting Teams will be traveling to Boonville High School for the Career Development contest and try to qualify for Section IV

OPINION
Events of the week create a myriad of ‘victims’ There are times when many of us like our jobs. However, there are times when we don’t. There is a long list of Posey County people who have not particularly enjoyed their jobs this week. I enjoy attending sporting events and reporting on them. I even enjoy attending many of the local city, town, and county meetings in an effort to be involved and informed as to what is happening in our home areas. I consider it a privilege to be able to provide news and sports coverage for readers. I know there are many things reported in the Posey County News that are overlooked by the larger media. That is why we continue to plug away to keep the Posey County News coming to your home each week. However, I spent parts of the week with a lot of people with extremely heavy hearts. Beginning with a phone interview with (former Mount Vernon resident) Warrick County Coroner Eddie Goff, I realized early this was going to be a tough week. Bad news is never easy to deliver, even by print. Despite all that was going on, I have to compliment all areas of law enforcement (particularly the Mount Vernon Police Department and Posey County Sheriff’s Department), the new Posey County Prosecutor and the many unknown individuals who have come into this case. Their handling of the events of the week alone has been exemplary. This was not an easy week for anyone (including families involved) but my hat goes off to the professionalism
maintained by area agencies. First of all, I must acknowledge there is no such thing as a “winner” in the death of a four-month-old child or in whatever the outcome could be. Besides
TRUTH... STRANGER THAN FICTION BY DAVE PEARCE the obvious child victim, there are literally hundreds of other victims. There are hundreds of friends and relatives of the families involved who are hurting with all those who knew the family of the victim and the family of the alleged perpetrator. My heart breaks for the family and friends of the small child. How anyone could do such a thing is beyond my wildest comprehension. I cannot begin to imagine what the family of the child is going through and unless you have been there yourself, you can’t either. If and when time begins to heal the wounds and the family begins again to be able to sleep, each day when they wake up, the first thing that will enter their mind is the realization of what has happened. Each day when they wake up, the first 30 seconds or so are the only truly peaceful minutes of the day because at the moment of waking, they will not be fully aware of what has happened in their lives. But seconds after waking, reality again sets in. The only peace members of the family will be able to experience is when they wrap
themselves up so deeply in an activity or a project that they can momentarily pass some time without their circumstances dominating their thoughts. I promise to pray for the families involved. I ask members of our Posey County community to join me in that commitment. There is very little else any of us can do. The actions of the person who committed this unspeakable act has created another group of victims who did not ask to be involved in a situation such as this. While I in no way condone any type of violent behavior such as has been done here, imagine putting yourself in the shoes of the family and friends of the person who has been charged with such a heinous crime. They, too, have lost a member of their family as the baby was also related to the family of the man who is alleged to have committed the crime. And, the man who is alleged to have committed the crime is someone’s son, brother, cousin, or uncle. His family and friends did not condone nor are they responsible for the actions he is alleged to have committed yet they are left to wonder what went wrong. Loss is present on all sides. The loss of an infant child is unimaginable at best. The lack of understanding the “why” is even greater. The person responsible has his own reality to face. His family not only mourns the death of an infant child but the loss of a family member. Not only have they lost the son of their family member, now they must
Gavel Gamut’s “A Chief Executive Among Chiefs”
I grew up in what used to be Indian Territory. Of course, if you were born in America, so did you. Mine was the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. The Osage Nation is in the northeast area of Oklahoma and Kansas marks its northern border. The town of Ar- GAVEL kansas City, Kansas, which GAMUT is where this photograph was taken, is only a short way BY JUDGE from Osage County, Oklaho- JIM REDWINE ma and, more significantly, is close to the Cherokee Strip where the 1889 Land Rush took place. This 1888 photograph of Alvin P. Hovey posing with seven Osages was brought to me last Monday by Connie Conrad who volunteers her time cataloging and preserving Posey County history in the basement of our courthouse. When Connie gave me the photograph, actually a copy of a copy of the original which is not within Posey County’s possession, Peg and I emailed it to our friend, Barbara Pease, who is the curator of the Osage County Historical Museum in Pawhuska, Oklahoma and also a member of the Osage tribe. Barbara is researching her records as Peg and I continue to do our own investigation. In 1888 Alvin Peterson Hovey (18211891) was our Congressman from this district. He was elected Governor of Indiana in 1888 and took office in 1889. A likely
scenario for Hovey’s appearance in this picture is that as a Congressman he was dealing with the Indian Appropriation Act which was used to open vast areas of Indian land to white settlement. Hovey and Illinois Congressman William McKendree Springer (1836-1903), who was born in Indiana, were interested in Indian land. Hovey wanted the land for Union soldiers who had served in the Civil War and had not, in his opinion, been adequately compensated for their service. Springer and Hovey both served in Congress in 1887 and 1888 and Springer was one of the main architects of the Indian Appropriation Act which was based on President Lincoln’s 1862 Homestead Act. In addition to Hovey, I have particular interest in the Osage named Ed Big Horse who is second from the reader’s right in the back row. Two of my good friends from my childhood were Charley and Aaron Big Horse. They were first cousins and Charley could have been the model for the Ed Big Horse in the picture. I have not as yet had time to contact either Charley or Aaron, but I speculate Ed is their great grandfather. Well, mysteries about history are always fun and often enlightening. Thanks, Connie, I hope we can all learn more about and from this unexpected basement treasure.

endure the endless hours forthcoming in court. And while their relative is still breathing and can talk, he has been lost, for all practical purposes, as a member of their family and as a member of society. Both families will be forced to sit in a court of law and hear the grim facts of the case over and over again, as an attorney looks for a glimmer of hope or a discrepancy that might allow the slightest hope for whomever it is who committed this act. Public servants are paid to do a job. Many times, that job is more than is bargained for. It often is more than the average days work. It is startling.
It is devastating, disturbing and shocking; but law enforcement, hospital workers, coroners and the many unnamed workers continue on. They often suffer from secondary trauma. A trauma that is real and just as devastating as being a part of the actual events. Their hearts are broken as well. They, too, will be forced to relive the details of their findings over and over during the trial phase. Even the hospital and ambulance staffs will have to find a way to forget the events of this week. While I realize “it is all in a day’s work,” in Posey County, it was a very atypical day, thank goodness.
Both families (extended families and friends) have a long road ahead of them. While a funeral is the first step in healing for the family and friends of the child, the family of the charged individual will not (at least not now) be allowed to experience that first chapter of closure. Please remember there is a long list of unwilling “victims” in this circumstance. Regardless of the outcome, there will be no winner. Everyone is a loser when there is a crime such as this. Please be proud and grateful to the public servants who have and will continue to do their jobs. It’s a tough way to make a living.
There’s just no place like home, even if you are living the dream Just a couple of weekends ago, I was the envy of my friends. Now, I’m the butt of their good-natured jokes. On Thursday afternoon, Feb. 10, I checked into The FOR THE Social House, a beautiful RECORD remodeled Victorian home, now serving as a bed and BY PAM breakfast, in Carmi, Ill. ROBINSON With my husband, daughter, and boss’s blessing, I was just settling in for a four-day self-directed writing retreat. My second-story queen room was awash with sunlight from the windows on three walls. On the south side of the room was a comfortable sitting area. On the north side, I set up a makeshift desk with a little table and plugged in my laptop. I was living the writer’s dream of solitude and serenity. I hugged myself and smiled—breathing in, present moment; breathing out, wonderful moment. Then, I sat down to write. I composed a couple of sentences on my word processor and was alarmed at how loud the keys sounded when I tapped them. The tapping was the only sound in the room, and it wasn’t rhythmic. No problem, I thought, I’ll connect to Wi-Fi (like I said, the house is a remodeled Victorian) and tune in to Pandora radio. With Zen instrumental music playing ever so softly and sweetly, I started typing again. I stopped after writing a couple more sentences. A vague uneasiness swept over me. Something more was missing. I pondered for a few minutes before I realized the TV provided background noise when I wrote at home. No problem, I thought, I’ll just switch on the cable set (OK, the house is a modern Victorian) and let shows run while
I write. I stopped dead in my tracks: Mubarak hadn’t resigned as president of Egypt. I backed toward the edge of the bed and watched the crowd scene. After seeing the rest of the news, I decided to read for the remainder of the evening. I fell asleep with the book on top of my chest. My self-directed writer’s retreat had quickly sunk from the sublime to the ridiculous. No problem, I thought on Friday morning, I know just what to do today. I connected to Wi-Fi and tuned into Pandora, switched on the cable set to the movie channel and ran to my seat in front of my makeshift desk before I could look at the screen. I sweat blood to compose a half dozen pages when I heard my daughter Jessica call, “Mom?” It was time for my dinner date with her and my husband Jim. Over dinner, I knew what I’d really been missing. Jim and Jessica walk freely in and out of my dining room writing space at home and check on my progress. They call to me from the adjacent family room to let me know when I’m missing something really important on TV. That Friday, for example, Mubarak had decided to leave office after all. I could deny it no longer: I was homesick. After dinner, I announced my intentions to pack everything up again and go back home. For our anniversary this year, Jim and I will go back together to The Social House and stay in the king suite. Some experiences are just meant to be shared. As Jessica and Jim helped me load my things in my car, Jim said, “I thought you wanted to live the writer’s dream.” “I am,” I replied. “I am.”
Letters to the Editor There is a proposal in committee that would drastically cut funding for New Harmony School. This proposal changes the school funding formula so that it cuts funding for small schools. You will be hearing about this proposal and possibly others in the coming days. This is still a proposal and we do not know what will happen but we need to be contacting our legislators now. Senator James Tomes’s phone numbers are 800 382-9467 and 317 2329400.

Vikings manhandle Rappites, dispatch Marksmen By Dave Pearce The North Posey Vikings felt it was critical to get off to a good start on Friday night in a game against an upset-minded New Harmony Rappite squad. To say they were able to do it is a gross understatement. When the dust had settled, the Vikings had moved to 15-3 and the Rappites fell to 11-8. The homestanding Vikings used a tenacious full-court press and combined that with a hot shooting night to turn in one of the most dominating performances ever in the North Posey high School gymnasium history. The Vikings scored the first 10 points of the contest before the Rappites were able to put a score on the board. But the Vikings, a much taller and obviously more talented team were relentless in their pressure and by half-time, had rolled to a 41-7 lead. The smaller Rappites just had no answers for the Vikings who are enjoying one of their best seasons. As a matter of fact, second-year head basketball coach Matt Wadsworth rolled to his 50th win in a total of three years in varsity coaching against the Rappites. Everyone on both benches saw ample action as Wadsworth called off the dogs early in the second half and rotated members of his varsity team and reserve team throughout the remainder of the contest, finishing the game with some freshmen on the floor. New Harmony did not field a reserve team for the night. Viking Eric Wargel, the tallest player on the floor, had a night he will not soon forget as he showed a variety of moves and an outside shooting touch on his way to a 22-point performance. His night was highlighted by a midcourt steal and subsequent dunk by the lanky senior. Following the dunk, the 6-foot-6 senior found himself wide open in the corner and buried a 3-point shot and also enjoyed a couple of driving baskets and at least one tip-in. But the Vikings were not the only big win-
ners on the night. The big winner was Kathy Stevens of Mount Vernon, Ind. Stevens was the winner of the North Posey/Expressway Auto World vehicle raffle. The proceeds from the vehicle raffle will go to support North Posey High School Athletics, Junior High Athletic and Academic teams. Despite the combinations, the Vikings were not outscored in any quarter as the Vikings rolled to an 80-30 win. “We got to see how some of our younger kids would react in a varsity situation,” Wadsworth said of the contest. It was a big night for the Vikings in other respects, as well, as members of the first Pocket Athletic Conference basketball championship team from North Posey, the 1974 team, was honored prior to the contest. Coaches Bob Gentil and Bud Schnarr were also on hand as was athletic director Leonard Mauck. Wargel led the team with 22 points while Jourdan Cox event played a little in the post on his way to 11 points. Nick Scheller finished with nine while Cooper Martin had eight and Colton Motz and Ungetheim each had seven. Dillon Davenpost dished out a large number of assists and scored five while Cameron Calvert finished with four and Austin Bender had a 3-pointer. Nick Neidig and Wes Harness finished with two apiece. For the Rappites, Kyle Whitmore finished with eight while Andrew McDaniel and Kris Scarafia had five apiece. Levi Hoehn and Blayne Worman had four apiece. Mathews had two and Lange one. New Harmony Coach Jim Little indicated that his team had one of those nights that teams sometimes have. “I remember getting off the bus and I remember getting onto the bus,” Little said with a smile of the outing. “I refuse to remember anything else other than some woman won a car.”

Hoehn, Konrath make early exits in state meet By Steve Joos Fifteen of the 27 state qualifiers out of the Evansville Semistate made it to the second day of the Indiana High School Athletic Association state wrestling g meet over the weekend in Indianapolis. Unfortunately for Mount Vernon, neither of the Wildcat representatives were among them. Both Wildcat qualifiers fell in their first round matches Friday at Conseco Fieldhouse, as 130-pounder Jon Hoehn fell to Collin Crume of Jimstown 12-3 and Bryon Konrath lost a 6-3 decision to Justin Kieffer of Indianapolis Roncalli at 135 pounds. Crume went on to take state runner-up honors, losing to Danville’s undefeated Neal Molloy 8-1 in that title bout. Hoehn closed out his season with a 40-5 record, while During the parade of champions at the state wrestling finals, Mount Vernon is represented by Byron Konrath, Jon Konrath finished at 35-6.

Mobley, one relay advance to state By Steve Joos Reid Mobley did pretty well at Saturday’s Castle Sectional boys’ swim meet. As for the rest of the Mount Vernon boys’ swim team? Well, not so much. The Wet Wildcats basked in the glow of Mobley’s blue ribbon performance in the 100-yard backstroke, but couldn’t overcome a rough night in the preliminaries and 20-point deficit at the diving boards and came in second in the meet with 232 points, well behind the first-place Knights (372) and just less than 20 in front of third-place Memorial. For a brief time after the diving competition, the Tigers were even slightly ahead of the Wet Cats for the number-two spot. “We had some good swims (on Saturday),” coach Larry Zoller said. “We had some good times and some personal bests. But we ran into trouble in the preliminaries. That kind of surprised us, even though we told the kids about the competition. There were a number of teams that had one or two good swimmers and they each did well, which kept us from scoring better.” Thursday’s preliminary round may have been the tougher one for the Wet Cats, according to Zoller. The team did not swim as well in the preliminaries and that may affected their positions, while dropping them back. “We bounced back in the finals and swam well,” Zoller added. “But we just didn’t have enough on Thursday.” The brightest spot for Mount Vernon was its junior in the 100-backstroke. Mobley, who did perform well in the preliminaries, broke the school record and the Castle pool record with a time of :53.04 in the race, knocking nearly a second off the old mark of :53.96, set by Castle’s Keneau Stevenson last year. “I did pretty good, I guess,” Mobley said. “I stayed underwater mostly. My strategy was to go at it in the second half and I did it.”
Mobley thanked his family and friends for their support over the course of the season, especially his girlfriend, Valerie McKinney. In addition to the backstroke, Mobley was second in the 200individual medley and swam on a Wet Wildcat 200-medley relay squad which just missed the automatic qualifying time for state despite a second-place finish. However, the team of Reid Mobley, Wade Mobley, Jacob Poole and Jordan Wooten made it to Indianapolis with an atlarge bid after posting that 1:39.62 mark (seven-tenths of a second shy of the automatic qualifying time). Zoller was pleased with both Mobley’s time and the efforts of the relay team, which shaved more than four seconds off its preliminary time despite settling for runner-up honors in the finals. As for where Mobley might place this weekend at the Indiana-Purdue natatorium, Zoller feels that he has a legitimate shot at finishing in the top 16. Umm, barring any surprises. North was a distant fourth in the meet with 140 points, while Reitz rounded out the top five with 116. Rounding out the field were Mater Dei (86), Harrison (77) Boonville (58), Bosse (51), Gibson Southern (32) and Central (140). Castle sectional 200-medley relay: 2) Mount Vernon (R. Mobley, W.

Lady Wildcats celebrate season There were plenty of things for which to be proud that happened in 2010-11 for the Mount Vernon girls’ basketball team. The 15-6 mark registered by the Lady Wildcats was the best in the program’s history, while they went undefeated at home and broke into the state rankings for the first time ever. The Lady Wildcats were also 4-2 in the Big Eight Conference and just missed contending for a conference championship. Those accomplishments were recognized at the team’s banquet and awards ceremony Wednesday night school cafeteria. Coach Steve Mitchell reviewed the team’s season and presented awards with the help of assistant coaches Keith Oeth and Byron Sanders. “We had one of the best seasons in the history of the program,” Mitchell said. “This was a great group of girls to work with.” The won-loss record and perfect season on the home court were major highlights of the
season, Mitchell said, as was the chance to see the team develop over the course of the year. Coming up short in a number of key contests was among the low spots. “I was disappointed with our showing in the Sectional,” the coach said. “It was sad that we played well enough to win defensively (the Lady Cats wee eliminated by Gibson Southern 33-23), but we just couldn’t get our shots to fall.” There were also key Big Eight Conference losses at Mount Carmel and Jasper which Mitchell thought the team could have won, but just one or two mistakes cost them. Better shooting and finding ways to win those close games are things next season’s Lady Wildcats are going to have to work on, according to the coach.

The team finished the season with the most wins ever in a season 15-6.

New Harmony closed to within five in the third quarter before going into what Little called “one of our ‘I look like I have never played basketball’ modes.” Red Hill pulled away from there, opening a 4929 lead after three quarters. For the second night in a row, the Rappites were up against a taller team, Little added. Whitmore really stepped up his game, Little said, pacing the Rappites with 16 points. Worman put in 15 tallies, while Andrew McDaniel scored 14 to go along with three assists and nine rebounds. Levi Hoehn scored two points, while Kris Scarfia added one. Four Salukis hit double figures, led by Robert Young’s 16 points. Cameron Lewis added 13 tallies, Andrew Jones 12 and Cody Lawson 11. The Rappites take an 11-9 record into tonight’s game with Day School in what is not only a home game, but is also senior night. Little is hoping the Rappites can put things together against the Eagles.

Vikings, Rappites from Page 1A On Saturday evening, the game was not quite as lopsided but the outcome was the same as the Vikings traveled to Tell City to take on the Marksmen. The Marksmen, who have been the marked with inconsistency this season, were celebrating their homecoming and Wadsworth warned his players after the New Harmony game that they would have to be ready to play. A win over the Vikings on homecoming night would be quite a jewel in the crown of the Marksmen during an up-and-down season. But on Saturday, there would be no jewel for the Marksmen. After a slow start that found the Vikings trailing 9-8 after the first period. But the Vikings turned up the defense and found the range in the second period, outscoring the Marksmen 20-9 to take a 28-18 lead into half-time. As Wadsworth teams seem to have formed a tendency to do, they slowly pulled further away in the third period, outscoring the Marksmen
19-14, taking a 47-32 lead into the final period. Using a smart but deliberate offense, the Vikings held onto the ball and took only good shots in the final period to again outscore the Vikings 12-9 in the final period to claim the 59-41 win. Davenport came up big for the Vikings as the Marksmen had no one with the quickness to stay with the senior guard. He finished with 17 points, hitting 13-of-14 from the free throw line. But an evenly divided supporting cast found Scheller, Wargel, and Cox with eight points apiece while Neidig and Calvert had six apiece and Martin had four. The Vikings held Tell City’s big gun Kevin Flannagan to only seven points as Weedman and Kohnert led the scoring for the Marksmen with 12 and 11 points, respectively. The Vikings will return to action this weekend on Friday night at Gibson Southern in the regular season finale. The Vikings drew a bye in Sunday’s sectional draw and play with winner of South
Spencer and Mater Dei in Friday evening’s first game at Boonville Gym. Forest Park, who also drew a bye, will face the winner of the Tell City-Perry Central game in the second game of the evening. The final will be at 7 p.m. on Saturday. The Rappites will get a sectional preview on Tuesday as they will face Evansville Day School, the same team they drew in the Tecumseh Sectional. Mount Vernon will face Memorial with the “winner” to face host Princeton in Class 3A action.
Stemple, Jade Dixon, Jacey Ritzert and manager Jenny Lyke. Reserve letters were presented to Charlotte Roberts, Rachel Cash, Shawana Clark, Erica Winiger, Shelby Ritzert, Brittney Wilson, Bailee Schelhorn, Cheyenne Strobel, Allyson Blunt, Ellen Foster and manager Heather Bremer. Strobel also received a freshman numeral. Carynn Koch was named the team’s most valuable player, while Jenny Koch received the hustle award and Stemple was named newcomer of the year. Jenny Koch and Carynn Koch were the only seniors from a larger group to have stuck withy the program four all four years and that effort was recognized by the coach. “Our seniors deserve a lot of credit for staying all four years and helping turn this program around,” Mitchell said. “They were great leaders and as fine people as you’d
ever want to meet. I wish (the seniors) the best in their future endeavors.” The returning players will provide a strong nucleus for next season, along with key members of this season’s 13-6 reserve team, Mitchell went on to say, adding that filling the gap left by the graduations of Carynn and Jenny Koch will be a challenge and a priority, but overall the future is bright. “We want to find ways to win the close games,” the coach went on to say. “We want to play well in our conference and go undefeated at home again. One things that the team will have to work on is shooting the ball, which proved to be the team’s downfall in a number of their close games this season, especially the Sectional loss to Gibson Southern. The girls’ hoop program at Mount Vernon showed a lot of strength this season and now the returning players have to keep the momentum going, Mitchell said.

Mount Vernon drops pair; Reitz, Harrison prevail By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon boys’ basketball team played one bad quarter to open the week and came up just a little bit short to end it. Mount Vernon nearly came all the way back and actually led for a while in Friday’s Senior night battle with visiting Reitz, only to see that lead get away twice as the Cats dropped a 58-55 decision to the Panthers when a Jacob Steinhart three-point try skipped off the basket in the closing seconds. That followed an 88-62 shellacking at the hands of Harrison where the visiting Warriors pulled away after a fairly close first half. The second loss especially dismayed the Mount Vernon coach.
“This was a lot more competitive game,” coach Gary Wilsey said. “It was definitely a lot more fun. I just wish more than anything that we could have gotten those five seniors a win on senior night. That’s what we’d been talking about all week. We dedicated this game to our seniors because someday we’ll be seniors as well.” Wilsey was pleased with Mount Vernon’s execution, even on the last play, explaining that the Wildcats got the look they wanted, but couldn’t capitalize on it, although Steinhart came close. “We really didn’t think that play would work that way,” the coach said. “We thought they would jump out on him and got after him that the curl would be open for
NORTH POSEY YOUTH CLUB 2011 BASEBALL PROGRAM BOYS SIGN-UP
one of the screeners to get a layup. But we got the initial screen open.” Steinhart had the shot and launched it with seconds remaining in the game, but it hit the rim and skipped off. Reitz got the rebound and got it down court, where Matt Gray was fouled with a tenth of a second left on the clock. The senior guard converted one free throw to make the final score 58-55. Gray had put the Panthers up by two points by draining a three-pointer with 11.2 ticks left on the clock after a seesaw fourth quarter. The Cats had rallied from a seven-point first quarter deficit to take a nine-point lead with 2:41 to go in the third chapter, but Reitz went on an 8-1 run to close out the period and cut the lead to 44-42. After Reitz pulled
to within a point 23 seconds into the final period, Mount Vernon stretched things back to 48-43 on buckets by Steinhart and Sam Johnson. The Panthers then reeled off five straight points to tie the game before the two teams started basically trading leads, first with a pair of three-pointers, then on a driving layup by Steinhart, which was answered by Alex Mitchell from long range. A rebound bucket by Steinhart gave the edge back to the Wildcats before Gray’s threepoint shot rolled around and went in with 11.2 seconds left in the game. Taking care of the ball in the half-court was a key to the comeback which put Mount Vernon into that position, Wilsey said. “The press was working,” Wilsey said. “We got layups
out of the press, but the thing is when you don’t execute the offense, the press doesn’t work. The press runs hot and cold anyhow and when you can score off of it, you have more bounce. When it’s after a turnover or after a missed free throw, you don’t have the same bounce.” In short, when the Cats were executing offensively, the press was working. They also switched from a 2-3 zone to a 1-3-1 after the first quarter and that was more effective. Reitz closed out the first quarter on a 6-2 run which gave the Panthers a 16-9 lead, then they made it 18-9 at the outset of the second chapter on a bucket by Evan Brinkmeyer. Brian Koch started things for Mount Vernon by converting a pair of free throws,

then Steinhart buried a threepointer to make the score 1914. Brinkmeyer answered, but Mount Venron came back with a 7-2 run of its own, cutting the lead to 23-21. The gap stayed at two points until halftime, with Aaron Straub pulling the Cats to within 27-25 on a putback as the second quarter expired. The Wildcats then scored the first six tallies of the second half, as buckets by Koch, Andy Henshaw and Steinhart put the Cats in front 31-27. Brinkmeyer’s trey cut the lead to 31-30 and the two teams traded baskets until the Wildcats reeled off another seven unanswered tallies to lead 39-32. Brinkmeyer’s layup cut the lead to 39-34, but Straub connected from 10 feet out and Steinhart scored off a steal to open a 43-34 bulge. Wilsey wasn’t sure if the Wildcats ran out of gas as much as they are still learning how to win, adding that the team continues to improve. Steinhart led the team with 20 points, while Koch and Johnson each put in 10. Straub added five points, Jason Stemple four and Henshaw two. Brinkmeyer scored a game-high 23 points to lead the Panthers, while Gray added 12 on the strength of four three-pointers. Reitz also took the reserve game 68-50. Nine was a popular number for the reserve Cats, as Jevin Redman, Collin Varner, Bryce Newman and Tyler Ritzert each led the team with nine points. River VanZant added seven tallies, Craig Dick four and J.T. Silvers three. The Wildcats and Harrison played a close first quarter Tuesday night, Straub opened the second chapter with a bucket that put the Cats up 21-19, and then the visiting Warriors promptly blew past Mount Vernon. Harrison went on an 11-0 run to take a 30-21 lead, the Wildcats pulled back to within six points and then the Warriors scored they last six points of the half to take a 40-26 lead into the locker room at halftime enroute to an 86-62 thumping. Despite the one-sided loss, Wilsey saw some positives for his team. “I’m not happy with the final score,” Wilsey said. “And it may sound crazy, but a I saw a few good things to-

Smith has double-double, Graceland wins game Former Mount Vernon boys’ basketball standout Jake Smith had a good game for the Graceland University Yellowjackets Thursday night, but he probably liked Tuesday’s game better. After all, Graceland won that one. Smith did score 19 points and pull down 14 rebounds Thursday, but the Jackets dropped an 85-76 decision to visiting Culver-Stockton at Lamoni, Iowa. He also handed out two assists, blocked a shot and pulled off a steal, but it wasn’t enough as the Yellowjackets dropped to 12-16 on the season, 7-11 in the Heart of America Athletic Conference. On Tuesday, Smith scored nine points and cleared five caroms in the Yellowjackets’ 77-
74 overtime win at Benedictine College. Smith also had two steals and an assist for the Jackets in the HAAC win, which followed on the heels of two very tough losses. Smith was plagued by foul trouble in the Yellowjackets’ recent 95-82 loss at Lindenwoood. He scored 23 points to lead Graceland, but played only 25 minutes before fouling out. Smith cleared a pair of rebounds and had an assist while leading the four Graceland players in double figures. Smith also scored 17 points, handed out two assists and grabbed nine caroms in Graceland’s game with Mid-America Nazarene, but the Jackets still came up short 88-72.

Two of three county teams can make finals of sectional with win
2010 11 IHSAA Class A Boys Basketball 101st Annual State Tournament Series Class A, Sectional 64 | Tecumseh (5 teams)
Win one game and play for a Sectional championship. That’s what two Posey County boys’ basketball teams have the opportunity to do when the 2011 edition of “Hoosier Hysteria” gets underway with Sectional play early next month. Both New Harmony and North Posey drew byes, according to the Sectional draw held Sunday at Indiana High School Athletic Association headquarters in Indianapolis. The Rappites and Evansville Day School Eagles will play in the first game of the Class 1A Tecumseh Sectional, set for Friday, March 4, while the Vikings will take on either Mater Dei or South Spencer in the Semifinals of the Class 2A Sectional at Boonville, also on March 4. Mater Dei
Wildcats, from Page
is hosting that Sectional, with some help from North Posey. Mount Vernon will open the Class 3A Princeton Sectional on March 1 with a game against former North Posey coach Rick Wilgus’ Memorial Tigers. Mater Dei and South Spencer will open the Class 2A tourney at Boonville, with Perry Central and Tell City in the second game. That winner gets the state’s top ranked Class 2A team, the Forest Park Rangers in the second game of the semifinals. At Tecumseh, the host Braves will open their Sectional against the Cannelton Bulldogs on March 1, with the winner to take on Wood Memorial in the semifinals. Each of the Sectional champions will be crowned 4B on Saturday, March 5.
night.” For the better part of the first half, Mount Vernon hung around against a quicker Warriors team which needed not one, but two big runs in the second quarter to break open the contest. “We cut it to six points,” the coach ssaid. “And then after that, we just kind of had some breakdowns and we had some opportunities to convert, and for whatever reason, they backfired.” Mount Vernon had some easy shots in that time period, including good inside looks from Straub and Steinhart. Wilsey was pleased with the effort, adding that the team tried to come out with a lot of energy, but didn’t get a lot of breaks against a quick, hot-shooting Warrior contingent. “That was a buzzsaw that we ran into from about that midway through the second quarter on,” the coach said. The Cats were sharing the ball in the first quarter, but once Harrison started pressing in the second quarter, the Cats started having trouble the coach added. Harrison scored the first five points of the game, only to have the Wildcats battle back to take an 11-10 lead on a layup by Koch midway through the first quarter. Grant Chamberlain put the Warriors back in front with a bucket, but Steinhart answered with a trey to give it back to the Wildcats. The back-and-forth continued throughout the opening chapter, with Chamberlain answering Koch’s layup to forge a 19-19 tie at the break. Straub restored the Mount Vernon lead at the outset of the second period, but that would the last Wildcat lead of the night. Yawan Wolfolk tied the game with a 12-footer and that sparked an 11-0 run that gave Harrison a 30-21 lead. Straub snapped that streak with 4:03 to play in the quarter.

A driving layup by Stemple and Steinhart free throws cut the lead to 32-26, but the Warriors went back to work with Chamberlain doing most of the damage The senior guard poured in 29 points with four threepointers, even though the Mount Venron coaches were more concerned with Ernie Duncan (who didn’t hit double figures). Wilsey was pleased with Stemple’s floor leadership and Goebel’s job with the junk defenses the Cats threw at Duncan and the Warriors. The Cats focused on Duncan, but Harrison’s quickness was a big difference. “They were extremely quick,” Wilsey said. “But I saw us get on the floor tonight and mix it up. We’re just using these games (the last four of the regular season) as learning tools for the Sectional.” The Cats are trying, but they want to show their prospective opposition that they are ready to play and that they will hang in there. They showed that in the second half, as Harrison pushed the lead to 59-32 midway through the third quarter and Mount Vernon closed out that period with an 11-2 run to make the score 61-43 entering the final period. Wilsey complimented each member of the team for effort, especially Johnson, Dick and Koch. “There were some plusses out there tonight,” the coach said. “I hate moral victories, but there were some good things out there tonight.” Koch scored 14 points in three quarters to share team-high honors with Steinhart. Johnson added nine points, Straub eight and Goebel five, while Stemple put in four. McNamara scored three points, while VanZant and Dick each put in two. Paris added one.
Duncan was the focus of Mount Vernon’s box-and-one defense, which left the rest of the Warriors outside the box to burn the Cats with 10 three-pointers. Yawan Wolfolk pumped in 17 points, while Cole Shafer added 13, in addition to Chamberlain’s output. Harrison also took the reserve game 50-41, despite 15 points from Ritzert and 10 from Newman. VanZant added seven and Drake McNamara three, while Redman, Dick and Varner each put in two points. The reserve Cats split their recent conference games, beating Mount Carmel 45-39, while losing to Jasper 51-46. Against Gibson Southern, Newman scored 14 points and McNamara 12, while Ritzert chipped in seven points, VanZant five, Redman four and Dick three. Ritzert scored 14 and McNamara 12 in Mount Vernon’s loss to Jasper. Redman added seven points and Newman five, while Varner and Dick chipped in four tallies each. VanZant scored two points.

Doors open at 5 p.m. Ribeye steaks will be cooked on-site and served with our famous salad, baked potato and dessert; hamburgers and hotdogs will also be available. The men of Wilson Auction-Reality, all veterans of many athletic events in this gym, will conduct a traditional live auction beginning at 6:30 p.m. There will be a variety of items that are sure to appeal to all ages. The Ribeyre Gymnasium project is established with a nine year history that includes national recognition as the recipient of the National Rural Education Association’s 2009 C.A.R.E.S. Award for outstanding efforts to build strong ties between rural school districts and the communities they serve.
