David Givens continues as school corporation attorney, and Paula Schmitt, as school corporation treasurer. Brenda Butman will stay on as legislative liaison, and Curt Schmitt, as policy liaison.

Meyer, Rita Reynolds, Dianna Simkins, Lisa Smith, Sherry Underwood and Connie Wilson.

In other business, the board took the following action: •Approved the Class of 2013 Fundraiser Dinner and Student Council Homecoming Dance.

The New Harmony School Board will meet again in regular session on Thursday, February 9, at 6 p.m. in the school media center.

Mount Vernon Parks, Recreation ‘digging’ new Hedges location

By Pam Robinson Divine Providence signaled the move of the Mount Vernon-Black Township Parks & Recreation Community Center and offices into the Hedges Central building. At any rate, that’s the belief of Griffin native Ruth Fulwider, manager of the Community Center and Brittlebank Pool for the past 31 years.

“My mom [Eloise McDonald] taught third grade here for years,” Fulwider explains. “I think it [the move] was meant to be.”

Further evidence rests in Fulwider’s office—the former kindergarten classroom at Hedges. The University of Evansville graduate says it suits her since she trained to teach kindergarten.

“I’ve always liked the young kids, but I found I liked the older kids as well,” she says. “I like them all.”

Certainly, the new community center provides something for all the kids to like also.

First of all, as both Fulwider and her boss, John Tate, Parks and Recreation Department Director, point out, kids enjoy at least three times the space available at the old combined roller skating rink and community center on Main Street.

For 30 years, Ruth Fulwider has been a part of the Mount Vernon Parks and RecreWhereas the roller skating rink doubled as ation program, making the best of what was given to the department. She believes Di- an activity area, now the kids can enjoy skatvine Intervention played a role in the Department’s new home. Photo by Pam Robinson ing in one gym and right next to it in a second

gym, they can play basketball. Depending on their interests, kids will join in activities either on the Hedges Central stage adjoining the roller skating rink or in Fulwider’s office area. On the stage, kids scramble to the new air hockey table. The stage offers foosball, ping pong, little shooter basketball and pool also. Fuldwider’s office includes the game room, complete with a new 35 inch color TV for viewing games and movies and four computers for entertainment.

Adults will appreciate the new space also, especially its location all on the ground level.

“If I only had a dollar for every time I heard, ‘You guys need an elevator!’ at the Armory Building after people climbed the big stairway to our office,” asserts Parks and Recreation Director John Tate. “Now anyone coming to rent the Senior Citizen Center or register their kids for activities will not have to climb the stairs. They can park on Eighth Street and walk right into our offices at entrance 8.”

The two gyms provide a nice flat surface and another venue for walkers also. Tate encourages kids of all ages to take advantage of their community center.

“We look forward to our morning walkers

Mount Vernon could be facing rate increase Class of ‘62 reunion set The Mount Vernon class of 1962 are planning for their 50th class reunion. The first planning meeting will be at the Alexandrian Public Library on January 28 at 10 a.m. Anyone interested in helping plan this celebration is encouraged to attend.

Robinson Board to meet The Robinson Township Board will meet on Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2012, at the Township Trustee’s office located at 201 Schroeder Road South in Wadesville, Ind., The meeting is at 5:30 p.m.

By Pam Robinson In a refreshing show of camaraderie at the start of the New Year, the four Democratic members of the Mount Vernon City Council—Sue Shelton, Steve Fuelling, Bill Curtis and Becky Higgins—and lone Republican Andy Hoehn worked in solidarity at their Monday, January 9, meeting.

Meeting first as the Water Utility Board, council members voted unanimously to move forward with the next phase, Phase 3, of the Water Works development project. Agreeing on a construction and financing plan known as Alternate 1, they cast a vote for the welfare of city residents and barred any additional water rate increase.

The vote followed a water rate study presentation by Jim Cameron of Umbaugh & Associates in Evansville. The study outlined two “alternate” plans. Choosing Alternate 2 would have resulted in an across-the-board city water rate increase of 14.5 percent, or an additional $4.09 per 4,000 gallons used on the average monthly residential bill.

Alternate 1 allows for the river intake upgrade (featuring permanent intakes), lamella building repair and leak detection. Alternate 2 addressed these three needs along with providing additional water storage, HVAC control, solar lighting, wind energy and interior lighting.

Council members agreed Alternate 1 provides for all the city’s needs while Alternate 2 looks also at the city’s wants, which everyone agreed

might still be fulfilled in the future when the economy becomes more stable.

To proceed, council voted unanimously to secure Bingham McHale as Bond Counsel in addition to continuing with Umbaugh & Associates for the financial work. City Attorney Beth McFadin Higgins will bring an amended performance contract for Johnson Controls, Inc., to the next city council meeting.

Council consensus on two additional matters deserves highlighting. After listening to a presentation by Ed Adams, council decided to meet in executive session at 6 p.m. , Monday, January 23, before the regularly scheduled council meeting to review as many as three options for the building of new police and fire stations.

Ed Adams, Police Chief Grant Beloat and former Councilwoman Rita Askren have served as the committee to review the funding and possible location of new police and fire stations. Adams reported that the engineering would be provided pro bono and that grant money would be sought to help fund construction of a new fire station. No grant money has been discovered for funding a new police station. He added that the Posey County Community Foundation is setting up two funds for donations toward the

Additional Obituary on Page A4 project. He stressed that the city needed to be aware that a financial liability would exist even after a successful grant and donation campaign.

In addition, Council directed City Attorney Higgins to draft a resolution, as Mayor John Tucker requested, to transfer economic development income tax, or EDIT, funds into the EDIT budget.

Tucker wants the EDIT budget to pay for the demolition and removal of dilapidated buildings downtown, the 20 percent match for the $900,000 grant to fund Phase 2 of the riverfront development and to refresh the Parks and Recreation Department budget. The mayor noted all three projects will receive a one-time funding from the EDIT budget.

Maynard announces plans to run for Treasurer

By Pam Robinson Mount Vernon Street Commissioner Roy Maynard signed his intention to run for Posey County Treasurer on Wednesday, January 11, 2012, the first day set aside to file at the court house for the upcoming 2012 elections.

Maynard seeks the office of fellow Democrat Linda Curtis, who has announced she will retire at the end of her four-year term in December.

“My Aunt Mary, Mary Ludlow Rose, has worked up there in the treasurer’s office for over 35 years [currently as chief deputy treasurer, previously as treasurer],” Maynard stated during a telephone interview. “Growing up, I spent a lot of time in that office. When I heard that Linda Curtis was not interested in running again, and my Aunt Mary’s age and health won’t allow her [to run], I decided I was interested in running for that [office] and moving into something else.”

Maynard believes both his employment experience and his education have prepared him to manage the county treasurer’s office. He noted that he handled large sums of money, roughly $800,000 per year, when he served as supervisor for the Indiana Department of Transportation at the toll bridge connecting Mount Vernon with Illinois. Since then, in four years as city street commissioner, a mayoral appointment, he has gained more valuable supervisory experience. Maynard holds an associate’s degree in business administration from Ivy Tech and needs to complete only a half dozen more classes to be awarded his bachelor’s degree in business management from the University

of Southern Indiana.

“Whoever gets the job will have to be trained,” Maynard commented. “All the ladies except for one are retiring, and the one lady who is staying is not interested in running for the office either. I’ve done my homework and made a lot of calls to make sure nobody else in the party was more qualified and interested in running.”

His employment experience has also taught Maynard that he enjoys serving the public. He looks forward to meeting the public’s standards for an elected official.

“I think what people want nowadays from their elected officials is honesty,” he said. “I think they want somebody who cares and will listen to their problems and help them.

They want somebody who will show up to work every day and work hard for them. I don’t think they’re looking for a genius or a rocket scientist. They want someone who cares and takes pride in the job.”

During another phone interview, County Treasurer Linda Curtis offered her support for Maynard.

“I know Roy, and I think he would do a good job,” she said.

Asked about her retirement plans, Curtis said she looks forward to more family time and travel with her husband, Mount Vernon City Councilman

Roy Maynard with his two sons.

WMI News Wow! What was that?

After a week of Sun, with temperatures in the 50’s it now truly feels like winter.

The blast of wintery arctic air, and the snow that came with it, made it clear that we are deep into the winter months, and spending more time indoors, preferably curled up with a good book, is in order. Here are some recent acquisitions that should help to make your winter more of an adventure.

An Invisible Thread: The True Story of an 11-YearOld Panhandler, a Busy Sales Executive, and an Unlikely Meeting with Destiny, by Laura Schroff and Alex Tresniowski.

He asked her for spare change one day on an busy Manhattan street, and she kept walking. But then something stopped her, and she went back. And she continued to go back, every

Girl Scouts hire two new officers

By Steve Cochran week for years, building up a life-changing (for both of them) friendship that has lasted nearly 30 years.

Reckless Endangerment,

by Gretchen Morgenson and Joshua Rosner. This book chronicles the ambition, greed, and corruption inside Fannie Mae, and the support given it from within the halls of government, all of which led up to the collapse of the home mortgage industry, and the first real estate crash experienced by the US since the early 1900s.

Citizenship Papers, by Wendell Berry, is a series of essays about national security, home defense, patriotism, work and economy.

From the cover: “There are those in America today who seem to feel we must audition for our citizenship, with “Patriot” offered as the badge for those found narrowly worthy. Let this book stand as Wendell Berry’s application, for he is one of those faithful, devoted critics envisioned by the Founding Fathers to be the life’s blood and very future of the nation they imagined.

Adams, Jefferson, and Madison would have found great

clarity in his prose and great hope in his vision. And today’s readers well be moved and encouraged by his refusal to surrender in the face of desperate odds. Books get written for all sorts of reasons, and this book was written out of necessity.”

Library Lil Story Hour has resumed and is meeting every Thursday evening at a new time: 6:30 – 7:30.

The library closes at 7, but Library Lil attendees will be able to remain until 7:30.

The Library Lil Story Hour is for all children from ages 3 through 8th grade. We come prepared with stories to read and songs to sing, but children attending often will bring stories to share, songs to sing and instruments to play. The main goal is to have fun, and to instill a love of reading and being read to in participants.

Coming up on March 18, Pamela Louks will present “The Trees of New Harmony,” the first of the 2012 Working Men’s Institute Lecture Series. Pamela is the Community and Urban Forestry Coordinator for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, and her talk will explain the results of

the recently completed New Harmony Tree Inventory, and her analysis of the job the trees are doing to keep the New Harmony environment healthy.

WMI is open TuesdayThursday from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m.; Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.; and Sunday from noon – 4. Plan to spend part of your winter curled up with a good book at your library.

Historic New Harmony Happenings In order to maintain and improve upon the grounds surrounding the historic sites of Historic New Harmony, our grounds crew works year round. As Grounds Maintenance Lead, Patrick Munchel helps keep our sites looking their best. This includes day to day items like checking for trash and downed limbs, as well as bigger projects like grading and seeding.

Patrick spends time in the fall and early winter cleaning up leaves and cleaning out landscape beds. This is also a good time of year to do plantings. This year, the grounds crew planted 50 Encore Azaleas in Church Park. New Harmony is listed on the “Azalea Trail,” an agricultural tourism project spanning Posey, Pike, Gibson, and Vanderburgh counties.

Another important job is pruning, which helps to control growth and maintain healthy plant stock. According to Patrick, it is key to know what time of year to prune which kind of plant, because plants have different growing

cycles. Some plants bloom on old growth, like azaleas, and others on new growth, like forsythia. So, the best way to go about working with the plants and trees in New Harmony is to first of all get as much information as you can on when and how to prune. For trees, a good rule of thumb is to prune the deciduous trees in winter when they are not actively growing. Most evergreens do well being pruned in spring or summer, but they can be pruned out of season without showing as much stress as a deciduous tree.

For the grounds crew, the winter is a good time to get things organized and ready for another growing season. Look for Patrick to be busy this February cutting back ornamental grasses.

Mount Vernon residents turn quilting into art, successful business

By Pam Robinson Mount Vernon residents Mary Brass and Holly Yingling have gained a following of over 2,000 customers, ages 18 to 80, at their comfortable Westside Evansville shop, the Quilter’s Nest. Young and old alike learn to appreciate quilting as an art form.

As Brass and Yingling insist in speaking and teaching at guilds across the Tri-State as well as their own shop, “It’s not Grandma’s quilting anymore.”

In particular, one offsite quilting class underscores the truth of this statement: the all-male class of “lifers” at Wabash Valley Correctional Institute. For the past year, Yingling has worked with seven to ten men in the prison’s Plus Program, an honors program that rewards inmates for good behavior.

Yingling teaches the men in their dormitory, better known as “The Cage.” Her talk focuses strictly on quilting; she has no idea what landed the men in prison.

The rules are simple: the men must donate all their work, and their activity can’t cost the state anything. They use eight sewing machines purchased with their own money and rely on cardboard templates and blunt kindergarten scissors to mark and cut patterns from donated fabric.

“Their work is beautiful, especially the huge, intricate star patterns,” Yingling com-

ments.

Indeed, the men’s king-size quilts have gained wide acceptance and praise among the country’s elite. Proud recipients include Gov. Mitch Daniels and Miss America 2011 Teresa Scanlan. Likewise, those less fortunate have grown to depend on the men’s quilted throws. In just one year, homeless and other shelters have received 2,000 of them.

A resident all over the United States, Yingling settled in Mount Vernon when her husband Steve moved here as train master with CSX Railroad eight years ago. At the same time, she met Posey County native Brass, then President of the 160-member Raintree Quilters Guild, and formed a fast friendship with her.

Within four-and-a-half months of starting the Quilter’s Nest at the corner of Sonntag and Mount Vernon Avenue, Brass outgrew her space and Yingling became her business partner. Just last year, they reshaped their nest at 2814 Mount Vernon Avenue, the second location, and added the adjoining building at 2818, doubling their size.

They keep a large selection of fabrics and kits and many patterns they have designed exclusively for the Quilter’s Nest, where customers may finish their projects in spacious classrooms onsite.

The walls are adorned with a kaleidoscope of quilted wall

hangings, throws and bed-size quilts—all made by Yingling or Brass. Some of the beautiful, delightful pieces can be bought, such as the church wall hanging that found a place in my home, but many of the creations won’t ever go on sale. Such a priceless quilt is Brass’s award-winning eagle that has been displayed across the Tri-State.

“It’s hard to part with one,” Brass says. “People come in and say, ‘Can I buy this one,’ and a lot of them, you just can’t part with. There’s really not a reason. You just can’t.

It may be the fabric. It may be you made it because it reminds you of somebody. It’s hard to say. It may be because you worked so hard on them, too.”

Both Yingling and Brass learned to sew at an early age, but they did not develop an interest in quilting until they were raising children of their own. The quilting bug bit Yingling at her first quilting class in the 1980s, where she wanted to try “something new.” Brass quilted first when she was housebound after an accident in 1997, and followed a quilting program on television.

Yingling estimates she has finished at least 300 quilts in 25 years. Many decorate the homes of friends and family, including her four sons (one serving now in Afghanistan).

She has just finished a quilt named Warmth by the Fireplace that features over 100 pieces in each block.

“I love every single quilt I make,” she says. “I like small pieces. I like Civil War quilts.

My goal is to get into landscapes and art quilts some day.”

In contrast, Brass has created a number of art quilts since she “fell in love” with quilting 15 years ago. Her favorite quilt, another award-

Photo by Pam Robinson winner, belongs to her only son Derek. Titled September Sunset, it features a circle of Canadian geese flying, and has been shown across the United States.

“It’s very hard to say which ones are really, really your favorite because every one you make has a different meaning to you,” Brass says.

When she isn’t quilting, Brass travels across the TriState to quilt shows as does Yingling. In addition, Brass remains active in her Posey County quilting circle, Loose Threads, which she started with friends five years ago on Super Bowl Sunday. The circle includes no more than 20 women, including Brass and Yingling, from Wades-

ville, New Harmony, Mount Vernon and St. Philip. The friends meet in member homes once a month to encourage one another in individual projects. Once a year, the quilt circle completes a group project.

Yingling and Brass share a contagious passion for quilting. Their customers clamor to sign up for the classes at the Quilter’s Nest. Over 50 classes are offered now, but they always fill well in advance of their start dates.

Students learn to appreciate quilting as an art form, creating novice to advanced art, contemporary and traditional, by hand and by machine. Like their offsite classes, these onsite classes

provide something for every skill level.

The Quilter’s Nest maintains a website filled with a wealth of information, including store hours and schedules. The website is scheduled to expand on Friday, January 20, into problem solving that will provide (among other things) access to YouTube videos on various quilting techniques.

Quilters can visit the website at http://quiltersnest.net.

Sermon of the Week: All Your Need

By The Late Rev. Tom Buffington Philippians 4:19 “But My God Shall Supply All Your Need According To His Riches In Glory By Christ Jesus.”

This Is Not A New Promise. The Provision Of God For His Children Had Its Roots Ifi The 0 T Even Back In Eden, Adam And Eve Hadalltheyneeded.

‘The Human Source Of Supply Has Diverted Our Attention From God. Higher Wages, Social Security, Incomes For The Unemployed Keep People From Bringing God Into Their Thinking. Some Christians Have Never Learned To Trust God For All Their Needs.

The Provider Phil. 4:19 “My God.’Many People In Our Churches As Well As Outside Our Churches Know About God, But They Do Not Know Him As The Provider Of All Their Needs. Jehovah-Jireh, Gen. 22:13 “And Abraham Lifted Up His Eyes, And Looked, And Behold Behind Him A Ram Caught In A Thicket By His Horns: And Abraham Went And Took The Ram,, And Offered Him Up For A Burnt Offering In The Stead Of His Son”. 14 “And Abraham Called The Name Of That Place Jehovah-Jireh: As It Is Said To This Day, In The Mount Lord It Shal Be Seen.” The Name Means “The Lord Will Provide.” We Need To Remember That Abraham Did Not Experience God’s Provision Without First

Giving Obedience To God’s Command.

“Jehovah-Jireh” Is The God Who Provides.

The Promise, “Shall Supply.”There Is No Doubting, No Hesitation, Read Matt.

7:7, 21:22.

How Can The Believer Be Confident That His Need Will Be Supplied? Because The Promise Is Supported By The Provider.

God Knows What I Need, Matt. 6:8, We Know Not What We Should Pray For, But He Knows, Rom. 8:26.

The Provision, “All Your Need.” Notsome, Butall. That Isa Bountiful Provision!

God Can Meetthe Many And Varied Needs Of His Children. Psalm 50:10, 12 Our Great Provider Created And Controls All Of The Provision. God Has Hidden Riches In Secret Places About Which We Know Nothing. Paul Mentioned “The Riches Of His Goodness Rom. 2:4; “The Riches Of His Glory” Rom. 9:23,”The Riches Of Grace” Eph. 1:7.

If We As Christians Really Believed That God Has Bountiful Provision For Us, Then Worry, Stress And Anxiety Would Be Banished From Our Lives. We Are Never Alone In Our Need. The Plentitude “According Tohis Riches In Glory.” God’s Giving Is Not Merely From His Riches Or Out Of His Riches, But According To His Riches. We Cannot Have A Need Too Great For God To Supply Rom. 8:32

BUSINESS Indiana farmland values skyrocket, bring record prices The U.S. farmland market continues to be hot, withvalues reaching a two-year high, according to Farmers National Company, the nation’s leading agricultural services company.

Availability of quality land is tight, bringing fast sales and top dollar for properties. “What surprises us is the rate of increase over the last 12 months,” said Lee Vermeer, AFM, vice president of real estate operations at Farmers National Company. “Values are up 20 to 25 percent, compared to rises of five to 10 percent in 2010. We are looking for 2012 to be another profitable year for those selling land.”

Farmers National Company has seen record auction activity during the last six months as more properties are being sold at auction to maximize profits. Tight supply of quality land has also prompted buyers to look at less productive land that can be upgraded, according to Shephard Services, assisted by Buck’s Crane Service, replaced a 2 ton condensing unit on top of the Posey County Jail last Tuesday.

Vermeer.

Strong grain prices are boosting profits for farmers, prompting them to pursue land in order to expand operations. In addition, cash rents in top production areas have increased 25 to 40 percent during 2011.

“Farmers make up 75 percent of the buyers in the market, despite continued strong interest from investors,” said Vermeer. “Land continues to be a tangible investment that has performed well, thus the demand.”

While Farmers National Company projects brisk activity to continue, there are market factors that could impact the future of farm values.

“Overall the upcoming year looks positive,” said Vermeer. “However, poor performance in the commodity market over the next year could bring downward pressure on land values.

Good weather world-wide could result in a crop surplus, dropping prices. In ad-

dition, inflation would boost interest rates, negatively affecting land values.”

Illinois, Indiana and Ohio Illinois is leading farmland sales trends in the East Central region, according to Roger Hayworth, area sales manager for Farmers National Company in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, eastern Kentucky, and eastern Missouri. Land values, as well as sales prices, are highest in Illinois, followed

by Indiana and Ohio.

Prices in Illinois are bringing in $9,500 per acre on average for high quality land. Values in Indiana are up to $8,000 per acre, while

those in Ohio have reached $6,500 per acre.

According to Hayworth, the number of land buyers in the market continues to increase as large farm owners, combined with investors, are looking to increase land holdings. Values continue to move upward and farmers and investors are paying cash for land.

“More land transactions are taking place today as compared to a year ago,” said Hayworth. “There has been a definite continued uptick in the number of listings and auctions within this area, as availability of land has loosened a little because of more active sellers.”

SABIC’s plants earn Certification SABIC’s Innovative Plastics business announced that its manufacturing facilities in Campinas, Brazil and Tortuguitas, Argentina, are now certified to produce U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-compliant and biocompatible resins for the fast-growing South American healthcare market to help slash lead times, reduce inventory costs and increase flexibility in material purchasing. Medical markets in eight Latin and South American countries – Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, Peru, Colombia and Cuba – are expected to demonstrate a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6 percent between 2008 and 2013, reaching U.S. $9.2 billion, according to Espicom Health Intelligence. To meet this increasing demand, SABIC is committed to providing local customers fast and easy access to high-performance materials – such as biocompatible Lexan* HP polycarbonate (PC) resins – and technical resources that they need to bring the next generation of medical applications to market.

“With biocompatible and FDA-certified resin production now in place in our Brazil and Argentina plants, in addition to the United States, Europe and Singapore, we are well positioned to meet the local supply needs of

healthcare device manufacturers worldwide who have production facilities here in South America,” said Ricardo Knecht, general manager, South America, Innovative Plastics. “SABIC continues to proactively invest in local capabilities that benefit our customers. Our broad and deep portfolio of healthcare materials, together with value-added services such as custom color matching and technical support, offers a critical competitive advantage in the rapidly changing and highly competitive medical products sector.”

Local Resin Supplies Accelerate Time to Market With the certification of the two SABIC facilities, medical device manufacturers and other healthcare customers can rely on local sources of supply instead of having to wait for imports to arrive. The lead time for SABIC FDA and biocompatible resins in the region is expected to drop dramatically, helping customers accelerate time to market for their products. With local production of healthcare grades, manufacturers can avoid delays, cut inventory costs because they no longer need to stockpile resin, and enjoy greater flexibility in ordering materials. In addition, customers can now be confident about expanding their use of SABIC health-

care materials in new applications, knowing that they have a reliable local source of supply backed with local expertise, technical support and SABIC’s healthcare product policy.

Local Supply and Support Backed By Healthcare Product Policy SABIC proactively developed an industry-leading healthcare product policy to simplify regulatory compliance during marketing approval and throughout the device lifecycle. Materials included under the policy have been assessed for biocompatibility, are covered by an FDA Drug or Device Master File, and are subject to formula lock and a stringent change management process. The policy gives customers the comfort of knowing that SABIC is able to lock the formula and have a supply plan in place in the event of change. Pre-assessing biocompatibility helps speed up marketing approval in the regulatory process, while internal controls and change management help assure consistent quality and reliability of supply.

but the governor said he will continue to push for federal action to fairly address the issue.

“The only complete answer to this problem is a federal solution that treats all retailers and all states the same. But for now, Amazon has helped us address the largest single piece of the shortfall, and we appreciate

the company working with us to find a solution,” said Daniels.

According to the agreement between Amazon and the Department of Revenue (DOR), the company will voluntarily begin to collect and remit Indiana sales tax beginning January 1, 2014 or 90 days from the enactment of federal legislation, which-

ever is earlier. The state will not assess the company for sales tax for other periods.

Estimates of uncollected online sales taxes are about $75 million each year. Of that, the State Budget Agency and DOR estimate that revenue from sales tax remittal by Amazon would be approximately $20 million to $25 million per year.

OPINION

Keeping things ‘real’ includes New Year’s Resolutions About this time every year, we are all given the opportunity to make a fresh start. It’s called a new year and we are blessed with new calendars with 12 fresh new pages to begin to turn. As the TRUTH... old year closes out each year, STRANGER I begin to think about what I THAN can do to be more healthy and FICTION

BY DAVE wealthy and how I can do it.

Each year I am tempted. PEARCE I am still a member of the Henderson YMCA and when I was a regular there, I can remember the influx of people that started around the first of January. Things were usually back to normal by the middle of February. It sure made things crowded for the first six weeks of the new year…when the New Year’s Resolutions wore off.

Often at the beginning of the new year, I am tempted to change things in big and graphic ways. I think about changing my life in big ways like changing what I eat and how much I eat of it. I think about saving more, spending less, and volunteering more in the community.

I think more about following Jared to Subway but then I realize that even Jared won’t keep off the weight if he eats two foot-longs and three peanut butter cookies. So I’ll steer clear

of that one.

If you stay up and watch late night television, you can be tempted to fall for one of those schemes that has you losing 50 pounds in six weeks. You simply have to watch what you eat and commit to exercise only 15 to 20 minutes a day and the weight just melts off. Apparently I would have to exercise near a crackling fire where the heat from the fire would melt the fat away…somewhat akin to a hog and bacon rinds and cracklins. Those people who drop three pant sizes and lose 25 inches of ugly fat either reside on another planet or have decided to cut off their head.

They often talk about having a six pack again and buns of steel. In reality, I know that the only six pack I am ever going to see again is going to be in my refrigerator next to the cheesecake and the only buns of steel are going to be the ones that are unsealed and have stayed in the bread drawer too long.

By February, we are left resolutionless, with a life that remains as messy, overweight, disorganized and overspent as it was on December 31. We’re a couple of weeks into the new year

and countless resolutions have already been thrown by the wayside, and that’s just at my house.

I have come to the conclusion that the reason we fail at our resolutions is that we try to change too many things, all at the same time. I know that if I were a smoker, there is no way I would ever be able to quit cold turkey. I would have to taper off. And, just for the record, there is no product out there that will make my closets (or any other part of my life) organized in just a few days. I’m too long gone for that one.

This year, I have decided to go small.

I am going to make a concerted effort to pick up after myself more than I do. When it comes right down to it, I’m not sure I would be doing my wife any favors by picking up after myself. She claims that nearly half the exercise she gets comes from picking up things behind me. Who knows, maybe it’s true. I think I am going to give it a try.

I’m not sure if there’s anyone else out there like me but when I take off a pair of socks, I use one foot to remove the sock off the other foot and when both are removed, I always tuck one inside the other. I’m not sure how I ever got started with that except that I have always had talented toes. I use my toes almost like an-

other hand. In fights with my older siblings, I used my toes as pinchers, even more practice in developing this remarkable gift.

But when one sock is tucked inside the other, it is a laundry lady’s worst nightmare.

First of all, they can’t tell by looking if there is one sock or two and often, one sock is washed inside the other. When they come out of the dryer, the outer sock is dry and the one tucked inside is still wet. So for this year, I will try and keep my socks separate when I take them off. Heck, I’ll even try and take them off in the same room.

So during this time of a new beginning, pick out something you would like to change for the better. Be realistic. You and I both know that change comes gradual and the more drastic the attempted change, the greater chance there is of failure. Celebrate the little victories.

Feel good about yourself when you realize that you are making that small improvement in your life. And remember, forgive yourself if you don’t succeed on the first try. Every day is a new beginning. Get up the next morning and try again.

Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day and chances are, you won’t change in a day either.

But never give up.

Hedges Central building, quickly bringing second chances to Mount Vernon Wherever I see the darkened shell of an abandoned business or home, cold chills run down my spine. Whenever people leave a building, the spirit of the place vanishes, too. As each building is vacated, the life of the community is diminished until eventually LIVING it dies.

FOR THE When Hedges Central Elementary School J OURNEY closed, the Mount Vernon School Board agreed to maintain the building and prevent it BY PAM from becoming an eyesore. Two tenants oc- ROBINSON cupied a small portion of the building then— Posey County Special Services, advocates for special needs children, and Family Matters, the matchmaker for families with essential living services. Without the vision of Superintendent Tom Kopatich and school board members, the Hedges Central building might have remained largely empty – a haunting reminder of community loss.

With the leasing of the building to more tenants, the school corporation has breathed life into the place. Instead of another taxpayer burden, the Hedges Central building has become a light for the Mount Vernon community. Property Manager Randy Woodall reported last week that room exists for only two more tenants.

New tenants include Wolfgang Orchestra and Choir, Posey County Historical Society, Mount Vernon Food Pantry, Willowtree, Mount Vernon Parks and Recreation, American Red Cross, At the Cross Mission and Ivy Tech. Even a couple of congregations worship there.

The new Park and Rec offices and activity center alone generate a steady stream of positive energy in the Hedges

Central building. With two gyms, basketball and skating can go on at the same time. The new digs allow for everything provided at the old activity center. There’s just room for it all now.

There’s room for a lot more at the Hedges Central building. Beth Russell, Executive Director of Family Matters, speaks with great enthusiasm about the school turned community center. “I am thrilled,” she says.

She explains that the setup makes it far easier to coordinate help for families among social service agencies. For example, Russell works closely with Beth Baro, Executive Director of Willowtree, Posey County’s domestic violence watchdog.

Gavel Gamut’s “Step Three” If you had a serious medical problem, your first step would, or should, be to consult your family physician.

If your computer revolts against you, your first step should be to GAVEL consult an information GAMUT technology expert (or, perhaps, one of your BY JUDGE teenagers). And, if you JIM REDWINE have a serious legal problem, your first step should be to consult your family attorney.

Last week we were discussing the procedure one must follow to assert a new claim in post-dissolution or post paternity matters. Step One should be: call your lawyer. Step Two is the requirement that an attempt to resolve the situation be made within thirty days prior to filing the action.

Step Three is to meet with one’s ex-spouse or the other parent of one’s children in an informal Pre-pre-trial Conference. This meeting can take place at the courthouse, an attorney’s office or any place that is mutually convenient. At this Prepre-trial the parties and their lawyers can discuss any sticking points and seek common ground. Should there be any allegations of spousal or child abuse involved, safety arrangements can be made.

Although shows on television or movies might lead one to believe most domestic relation issues are only resolved with full blown court fights, in fact, almost all of us are able to work through our difficulties without having to resort to legal THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS proceedings.

The mission’s food pantry is in addition to the free meal line formed there on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

The cooperation among agencies is a reminder that it takes a village working together to meet the needs of its people. When we place too much emphasis on any one agency, people miss out on social services that will address their wide range of needs. After all, the services provided, not the benefactor, belong in the spotlight.

Somebody is waiting up for folks almost every night at the Hedges Central building and keeping the light on. Our community can be grateful for the beacon on Hedges Hill.

are engaged in every day between former lovers. Of course, from time to time we either don’t, won’t or can’t compromise without the help of the legal process.

Most parents love their children more than they resent dealing with the only person on earth they have to thank for giving them these blessings. Therefore, with the right encouragement and opportunity, most people can set aside their feelings and discuss whatever problems need to be addressed.

As a percentage of total domestic relations cases filed very few ever need to return to court after the case has been originally completed. Most people either have little difficulty or whatever difficulties they have they work out on their own.

And with those families who do need to file a post-decree petition, virtually all of them, on a percentage basis, are settled without going to trial. This is no surprise to judges and lawyers as about 96% of all cases that are filed in court are settled without trial.

By using Step Three parents can often resolve their conflicts quickly, inexpensively and with a minimum of emotional upheaval to themselves and their children. Then they and their children can move forward.

Next week we can think about the next step: Mediation.

great state. That historic game is part of our heritage, and we enthusiastically embrace it.

However, in 1996 approximately two-thirds of the state’s high school principals in Indiana voted – not just once, but twice – in favor of class sports. They were acknowledging what high school administrators in 47 states had already come to realize – specifically, that large schools enjoy a significant competitive, and fundamentally unfair, advantage over their smaller counterparts.

Along with the institution of class sports, the IHSAA By-Laws were also amended to permit any high school in the state to move up one or more classes in any sport should they choose to do so.

This has very rarely happened because administrators know their schools have the fairest chance to vie for tournament success when they compete against schools of equal size.

In large part, the mission of the IHSAA is to maintain a level playing field so that every student-athlete who chooses to participate has a fair and equal chance to succeed. This has become an increasingly challenging task given all the changes in education that are taking place in our state, and we still have much to accomplish. For ex-

ample, a continued debate rages with regard to public vs. private school competition. Our organization continues to study this topic and proposals to address this issue will appear on the agenda of the annual meeting of the IHSAA Board of Directors this spring.

However, when it comes to class sports, I can say with confidence that the IHSAA’s priorities are in place. We continue to put fairness first. We wouldn’t pit a 3,500-student school against a 300-student school in an IHSAA basketball tournament any more than we would match a 198-pound wrestler against a youngster that weighs 106 pounds.

The IHSAA emphatically promotes respect for the rules, sportsmanlike conduct, and fair play among its 408 member schools and 160,000 student athletes. While my memories of classic cars, the party line telephone, drivein restaurants and sock hops are indelibly etched in my psyche, the past is not a place of residence. The future of education-based athletics in Indiana holds great promise, and the current structure of class sports continues to permit a greater number of our young people opportunities to experience the valuable benefits of participation.

Cancer research, ‘Cats are winners in ‘Pink Out’ game

By Steve Joos Few would be surprised by the result the girls’ basketball game Thursday at Mount Venron.

The homestanding Lady Wildcats rolled over New Harmony 52-26, but many would have been impressed by the heart the Lady Rappites showed.

“I think that we didn’t play less than what I expected,” New Harmony coach Jennifer Toopes said. “Obviously, Mount Vernon’s a good ball club that beat Tecumseh by 30 points.

We knew that we weren’t going to win, but we wanted to compete on each possession. We didn’t give up, and Kendall Morris played an excellent game.”

Lady Cats’ coach Steve Mitchell was also impressed with the Lady Rappites and a bit disappointed with his own squad.

Despite the loss, Toopes was pleased with her team’s effort.

“I’m proud of the girls,” she said. “Mount Vernon beat Tecumseh by 30 points (Tuesday) and they could have beaten us by 40, but we played hard and that’s all I could ask for.”

Mount Venron coach Steve Mitchell was also impressed with how New Harmony played.

“We could have played better,” Mitchell said. “I thought we were flat on our feet, especially in the first half. We weren’t ready to play defense, but I give New Harmony credit. They’re feisty and they play hard.”

Mitchell felt that some of the Lady Cats may have taken New Harmony lightly, but he also credited the Lady Rappites for putting up a fight.

The starters were in and that may have contributed to Mount Vernon’s fast start.

Morris scored 10 points, while Morgan Matthews paced the team with 11 for the Lady Rappites.

Vikings manage split in weekend conference games

By Dave Pearce North Posey senior Alec Beard got the call to start on Friday night and the 6-foot-4 senior got the Vikings off on the right foot in a 52-43 win over the Tecumseh Braves.

As a matter of fact, it was Beard who would break the scoring ice for the Vikings as neither team could get a shot to fall early and Beard stuck in the first two points at the 5:40 mark to give the Vikings and early lead.

In a methodical contest, the Vikings never trailed and the only tie came at 2-all as the Vikings got an early lead and made it stand up to move to a 2-1 Pocket Athletic Conference record after Friday night. A 13-point loss on Friday night at Forest Park leaves the Vikings at 5-7 overall and 2-2 in the conference.

But against the Braves, the Vikings put together a solid first half and played well throughout the contest to keep a wellcoached Tecumseh team at bay.

“Here is what I am most proud of,” Viking Coach Matt Wadsworth said following the win. “I think our defensive effort was stellar because Tecumseh is a team, that within their offense, has a lot of subtle things that can really throw you for a loop if you are not focused.”

With the game tied at two, senior Kyle Swope nailed an open 3-pointer and the speedy guard then stole the ball and scored again and suddenly, the Vikings were up by five and Tecumseh Coach Kevin Oxley was obviously upset. He allowed his team to score on an offensive rebound at the 3:31 mark before he called a time out to get his defensive aligned to try and shot down the open Viking shots.

Alec Werry nailed a 12-footer out of the time out before the Braves scored the next two baskets, one following a defensive re-

bound by the Vikings which the alert Braves literally took away from the rebounder and stuck back to pull to within 9-8.

Austin Bender would drive three-quarters of the floor and put up an 8-foot floater that hit nothing but net as the red lights showing the end of the period went off, giving the Vikings an 11-8 lead after one period of play.

“I really think it was our defense that won this game,” Wadsworth said. “We pressed upon them this week that if we are going to be a better team, we are going to have to play better defense. It always comes back to that.

For us to think that we are always going to be able to run up and down the floor and get lay-ups just isn’t the case.”

Bender followed up his last-second heroics in the opening period by finding senior Jourdan Cox wide open and the senior steady-man hit the bucket but was fouled.

Cox, despite playing a solid all-around game, lacked the shooting eye from 3-point range Friday night that he usually displays. However, much to his credit, he was able to play strong defense, rebound well, and eventually hit a couple of big shots in the final period to help his team win.

But Wadsworth got to take a look at several combinations on the floor on Friday night as he looks to find a substitution pattern that will work as the team enters the second half of the season.

“To the kids’ credit, it wasn’t about the five that we were putting together out there,” Wadsworth said. “It was more about having confidence in each kid that we were putting out there. It was good to see. I thought we played well with a lot of different combinations out there.”

Low numbers hurt Posey teams in Saturday 6-way in Poseyville

By Steve Joos Saturday was a frustrating day for the Posey County high school wrestling teams, as they faced some strong competition and had to contend with a lack of wrestlers.

Mount Vernon had the best of it, winning the dual meet between the two teams 27-25, their lone victory in five dual meets, which included losses to Central 47-18, Castle 5518, Tell City 36-26 and Reitz 55-18.

The Vikings had an undefeated individual champion in 195-pounder Chris O’Risky, but they were winless in five decisions. In addition to the Cats, the Vikings fell to Tell City 37-32, Central 54-30, Reitz 55-9, and Castle 39-24.

Take away the win over his team’s county rival and coach Tim Alcorn felt that it just wasn’t the Wildcats’ day.

“We’ve had better days,” Alcorn said.

“This is just one of those rough days where you have teams like Castle and Reitz, this day just wears on the kids, and it’s just tough

competition. It’s just the way our conference is, the way our Sectional is, the way our Regional is. This is just a tough part of the state for wrestling. It’s tough competition.”

Alcorn even felt that the Cats could have shown a better effort against the Vikings, adding neither team may have wrestled the way it was capable of.

“That score wasn’t indicative of the two teams,” Alcorn said. “I know North Posey’s better than that and I know we’re way better than that, so we could have given a better effort, but a win’s a win and it’s not a beauty contest.”

As for the Vikings, Spencer said that his team did very well, winning five or six out of eight contested matches.

“The Hoehn kid is very good,” the North Posey coach said. “We had trouble matching up with him. Whoberry was another kid.

We’d seen him before and we’d lost to him

Jon Hoehn and Nick Theodosis. Blanford and Hoehn were also wrestlers during the first semester, while Guggenheim and Theodosis played soccer. A total of six soccer players received the academic honors during the fall, as Guggenheim and Theodosis were joined by Ryan Pharr, Matthew Strupp and off the girls’ team, Jenna Reidford and Megan Randall.

Randall was also a member of the girls’ basketball team during the first semester and was one of four players from the two teams on the squad. She was joined by Amy Seifert off the girls’ team, Austin Goebel and Troy Paris represented the boys.

Kay-Leigh Allbright and Bailey Ash earned academic all-conference honors from the girls’ golf team, while Curt Crabtree joined Hopper from the boys’ tennis team.

Rounding out the honor list were Meagan Montgomery of the volleyball team and cheerleader Meagan McDonald.

Cats play hard but fall again

By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon boys’ basketball team hung around for a while Friday night.

They just didn’t hang around long enough.

The Wildcats took a sixpoint lead after the first quarter of their Big Eight Conference game against Vincennes, but the visiting Alices made some adjustments, tied the game at halftime and then pulled away in the second half for a 69-55 victory.

And even that wasn’t determined until the end.

The Alices needed 10 unanswered points and a 16-6 run down the stretch to put away the Cats and maintain their perfect 5-0 conference mark.

Losing the early 18-12 lead may have been part of what happens when the Cats faced a team like Vincennes, according to coach Marc Hostetter.

“When you go up against Vincennes, you know they’re 4-0, now 5-0 in the conference,” Hostetter said.

“They have seven seniors who’ve played together on the varsity for a while now, they’re a well-oiled machine, but our guys came out and competed pretty hard.”

The Wildcats were there throughout the night, Hostetter said, adding that Vincennes made some adjustments after the opening chapter which hampered Mount Vernon offensively, while unleashing a balanced attack that bothered the Cats defensively.

Those adjustments mainly involved stopping the Wildcats’ perimeter game after Mount Vernon drained a trio of three-pointers in the opening eight minutes, among other things.

A bucket by Brian Koch and a three-point play by Austin Goebel gave the Cats

an early 5-2 lead with less than two minutes gone in the opening period. Avery Mickens (one of four Alices to hit double figures with 12 points) cut the lead to 5-4, but Bryce Newman drained a three-ball to put Mount Vernon in front 8-4.

The Wildcats were able to stretch the lead again with a trey by Koch and Newman’s bomb as the quarter expired made the score 18-12 at the break.

That’s when the Alices started dropping off on the perimeter shooters, which made the Wildcats think they could take quicker shots.

That led to shots which were quicker, but not better and gave Vincennes a chance to get back in the game. They scored the first five points of the second quarter and close to within a point at 18-17.

Troy Paris’ free throws restored a little breathing room for the Cats, while Tyler Ritzert added a bucket and two charity tosses to put Mount Vernon in front 24-19 with 2:06 left in the period. Vincennes promptly scored the last five points of the half, tying the game on pair of free throws by Jantzen Goodwin with 57.5 seconds left on the clock.

That’s where the score stayed at halftime.

Newman, who paced the Wildcats with 15 points, scored to open the third quarter and that was Mount Vernon’s last lead of the night.

The Alices scored the next six points for a 30-26 advantage before Newman answered from three-point land. Once again, Mount Vernon tried to hang around, keeping the lead within two points, but a 13-3 run late in the period gave Vincennes a 51-42 advantage entering

the final eight minutes.

Koch nailed a three-pointer, Collin Varner scored and Jevin Redman knocked down a 17-footer to pull the Cats to within four points at 53-49, but after a Vincennes time out, the Alices pulled away for good with a 16-6 rampage.

Despite the loss, Hostetter found a few positives.

“You have to think that with a defensive effort of 24 in the first half against a good basketball team, you’ve got a lot to be pleased about,” the coach said. “Offensively, we’ve got to find other ways to score. We were passing the ball well and everyone got some looks in the fist quarter. In the second quarter, we got a little stagnant and didn’t move the ball quite as well.”

Goodwin led the Alices with 19 points. In addition to him and Mickens, Cameron Claycomb tallied 17 points and Jordan Shots was on target 12 times.

“They’ve got multiple guys who can put the basketball in the hole,” Hostetter said. “Tonight, their veteran play kind of stepped up.

They made some shots that got them flowing.”

But Hostetter saw some other good things from his team.

For one thing, they showed they can play with the best team in the conference.

The coach wants to see improved spacing and shot selection from the Wildcats, along with creating easy baskets off their defense and in loose-ball situations.

Koch backed up Newman with 14 points, while Varner came out of nowhere to put in 11 tallies, but things got a little thin after that. Ritzert scored six points and Goebel three, while Paris, Redman and River VanZant each

The Vincennes reserves blanked the Cats 10-0 in the first quarter and built a 23-5 halftime lead en route to a 42-25 romp in the preliminary.

Colton Irvin led the reserve Cats with eight points, while Jaco Norman added six, Cody Mobley four and J. T. Doerflein three. Levi Duckworth and Jade Kopp each put in two points as the Wildcat reserves outscored Vincennes 20-19 in the second half.

Rappites continue to play hard despite losses The New Harmony boys’ basketball team traveled to Union Dugger Saturday and ran into a wall.

A big, thick wall.

The Bulldogs’ size and strength proved to be too much for the Rappites especially in the early going, as they lost to the Union 83-55.

Oh, and did we mention that the Rappites were missing two starters and took just eight players to Dugger?

“We were missing two starters” coach Jim Little said. “One (Zach Sollman) is out for the season and the other (A.J. Eaton) was sick and should be back this week. They were too big.

They were bigger and thicker.”

The absence of Sollman especially hurt the Rappites’ perimeter game, as New Harmony hit just three threepoint baskets, their lowest number of the season (the Rappites have been averaging five and one-half treys per contest).

While the perimeter was closed off, Kyle Whitmore took to driving the lane and had a good night, scoring 24 points and grabbing nine rebounds.

Elliott Lange also did well, with a season-high 14 points and eight caroms.

Little was pleased with the way his team hung in during the second and fourth quarters Saturday. Union Dugger got off to a solid start, leading 27-9 after the first eight minutes.

New Harmony played evenly with the Bulldogs in the second chapter, outscoring them 23-22 to make the halftime score 49-32, but foul trouble in the third quarter (Clint Matthews fouled out, while Lange and Caleb McDaniel finished the night with four fouls each) put the Rappites in a deeper hole.

“I was happy with our attitude, but we need to find a way to get some stops on defense,” the coach said.

“We didn’t give up after the first quarter, but playing well in the second and

fourth quarters isn’t going to do it.”

The Rappites were beaten by what Little called “a very good” Oblong team 77-39 recently in Southern Illinois.

“They were bigger than us, faster than us and we let that bother us,” the coach said. “I tried different people out there trying to find a combination that would work together.”

Shooting the ball was a big problem for New Harmony, as the Rappites hit just 14 of 58 shots from the floor, including five of 27 from three-point range.

Lange was a bright spot, scoring six points and clearing 13 rebounds, while he and Eaton drew positive reviews from one Oblong fan on their efforts against a much taller opponent.

Little was also happy with Steal’s efforts defensively (five rebounds, four deflections and a steal), but hoped he would relax on the offensive end of the court. Whitmore overcame a clinging Oblong defense of put in 17 points and grab six caroms, while Sollman drained a pair of treys.

The last boys’ basketball home opener at New Harmony didn’t go all that well.

The visiting Wayne City Indians outs cored the Rappites 23-9 in the second quarter and never looked back as they shot down New Harmony 7855 recently.

The Rappites weren’t playing the type of defense that little would have liked to have seen Tuesday and the Indians certainly took advantage of that in the second quarter, as they turned a close 16-14 contest into a 39-23 halftime bulge. Wayne City stretched things even further in the third quarter, as they took a 58-34 lead into the final chapter.

Arminius Caldwell was another big problem for the Rappites, scoring a game-high 29 point to pace Wayne

City.

Caldwell’s efforts offset a big night from Whitmore, whose 28 points, nine rebounds and six assists led New Harmony.

Whitmore is hard to stop one-onone and that opens up the perimeter for Sollman and Matthews, Little explained. adding that Lange, McDaniel and Eaton are learning to flash to get open, but have to break a bad habit of not spacing themselves on the floor properly.

Matthews added 12 points for New Harmony, while Lange put in nine tallies and grabbed seven caroms. Sollman scored three points, Eaton two and Tyler Wright one.

Clay Irwin scored 14 points for Wayne City.

The Indians also took the reserve game 38-25.

The Rappites finished second at the Cannelton Invitational tournament over the holidays, dropping the championship game to Columbus Christian 88-53, after beating Fox Creek Christian Academy 64-60 in the first round.

Whitmore scored 33 points and cleared 13 rebounds as the Rappites rallied from a 15-opint deficit to pull out the victory.

Eaton added 11 points and grabbed 10 caroms as both he and Whitmore notched their career best output offensively.

Sollman put in a pair of three-pointers for New Harmony.

Whitmore scored 24 points in the title contest, but it wasn’t enough as New Harmony struggled against the bigger Columbus Christian squad, little said. Lange added seven points and six rebounds, while Sollman drained two more treys.

The home game with Day School which had been set for December, but was postponed has been rescheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 14.

The most Lady Viking Regional champs to be honored entertainment.

Now at the best price.

The North Posey Lady Vikings’ 1987 Regional championship girls’ basketball team will be recognized on Jan. 28 at the school.

There be a reception area for the team during the Lady Vikings’ reserve game with Gibson Southern and coach Charles Mair’s squad, the only Posey County basketball team, either girls or boys, to win a Regional title will be honored between the reserve and varsity games.

This is the 25th anniversary of the Lady Vikings’ trip to the Seymour Semistate and one member of that team, Kristi

Talley Wright, will be inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame as part of the 2012 Silver Anniversary Team.

She will join Mount Vernon’s Marty Neihaus (Class of 1980), the current Forest Park girls’ hoop coach, as the only Posey County players to be named to Hall of Fame Silver Anniversary teams.

A former Gibson Southern Lady Titan was honored by the Hall of Fame last year, so this seems like an appropriate place to honor the team, according to North Posey principal Scott Strieter.

Lack of numbers continues to plague Viking wrestlers

By Steve Joos The score of Wednesday’s dual meet at Harrison could have just as well been North Posey 29, Harrison 9, Sick bay 36.

The Vikings won five of seven contested matches at Harrison, but six forfeits added up to a 45-29 Warrior win.

Seven Viking grapplers

missed the meet due to illness and that proved to be the team’s undoing, coach John Spencer said, with a North Posey conceding the 120, 126, 160, 182 and 285-pound weight classes.

The teams took a double forfeit at 106 pounds.

When they did face off against the Warriors, the Vikings usually put the Evans-

ville school down, registering four pins and a technical fall for their victories.

At 132 pounds, Shane Martin pinned Billy Procains in 2:22, while Jordan Frymire (138) stuck Ben Hodges in 1:04.

Gary Martin (152) needed 1:11 to nail Ryder Burns-Harrison, while Chris O’Risky pinned Jessie Ivers

in 1:23. Seth Elderkin took a 17-0 technical fall over Alex Palstring at 145 pounds.

The Vikings could have done even better, but Tyler Stock lost to Matt Matison in four overtimes at 113 pounds, while Harrison’s other victory came at 160, where James Lindenschmidt pinned Darren O’Risky in 1:53.

Vikings, from Page B1 With the Vikings leading 13-8, Nick Neidig got a steal and stuck back an offensive rebound to put the Vikings ahead 158. Tecumseh answered before sharpshooter Michael Bender buried a 3-point shot at 4:45 to give the Vikings an 18-10 lead.

Four different Vikings scored the final eight points of the quarter for North Posey as Neidig, Werry, Beard (off a feed from Cox) and M. Bender, off an offensive rebound, rounded out the first-half scoring for the Vikings, who lead 26-15 at the break.

But the Tecumseh Braves never go away. They have a strong tradition in Class A basketball and as one of the referees remarked during one of the breaks, neither of these teams is going to stop playing hard until the final buzzer. He was correct.

“I know Coach Oxley wouldn’t expect any less out of his kids and I certainly wouldn’t expect any less out of ours,” Wadsworth said of the comment from the official. “It’s a conference rivalry. We were 1-1 in the conference and it was a battle involving two teams who believe they have a shot at winning the conference. That’s what we are fighting for.”

Wes Harness exploded for a lay-up to open the second half and it appeared that a rout could be forthcoming. With the Vikings ahead 28-18, they exploded on a 10-0 tear as Harness,

Swope, Werry and A. Bender all scored to build a 38-20 lead with 2:42 to go in the third period.

Bust the Braves put on a run of their own, scoring the next ten points to put back to within 38-30 just 15 seconds into the final period.

With 2:26 remaining, the Braves had fought back to within 45-40 but that’s when senior leader Jourdan Cox stepped inside the 3-point line and nailed back-to-back daggers that put the Vikings ahead 49-40 with just over a minute remaining.

“Those shots he hit there in the fourth quarter made you feel good when he took them because that is a senior that has been in that moment several times,” Wadsworth said.

“When we needed a bucket, he stepped up and got us one. I was proud of him.”

Only one player reached double figures on Friday as Werry finished with 10 and Swope nine. Michael Bender had seven while Harness, Neidig, and Cox had six apiece. Beard finished with four and Austin Bender with three.

“This was one of those games where you walk out of the gym feeling very proud of your team,” Wadsworth surmised.

•On Saturday night, the Vikings fell to Forest Park in Ferdinand by a score of 60-47. Miles Leonard had 19 and Ben Braunecker 14 for Rangers (6-6). Wes Harness had 11 for the Vikings (5-7).

Wrestle, from Page B1 him before, so it was a good match. We had a chance there.”

A lack of wrestlers has snake-bitten the Vikings all season and Saturday was no exception, according to coach John Spencer.

“Head to head, I thought we did pretty well,” Spencer said. “Chris O’Risky went 5-0 and he’s the 195-pound champion.

Head-to-head, that’s some pretty good competition. Overall, I thought we did a pretty good job. We left some opportunities out there, but that’s from a lot of our younger kids who will improve and get better.”

But when a team gives up six weight classes and starts each match in a 36-0 hole, it’s tough to win many dual meets, but that’s part of life with a small team, Spencer said. Besides O’Risky, the Vikings’ other highlight came when Ty Stock won his 100th high school match when he defeated his Mount Vernon opponent in the second match of the tournament.

That’s one reason why the Vikings are concentrating more on the Pocket Athletic Conference meet and the Sectional, where

they will face many of the same faces they encountered Saturday.

The Cats had some numbers troubles of their own, showing up with just 10 wrestlers. That didn’t help in the dual meets, and several individual records took a hit as well, Alcorn explained.

“This is going to be an eye-opener for us,” the coach said. “We found out we weren’t as good as we thought we might be and this is good, we saw what mistakes we made and we can correct them before we get to conference.”

That’s the next goal for the mat Cats: performing well this weekend at Boonville.

John Hoehn and freshman Payton Whoberry were bright spots for Mount Vernon, with Hoehn posting a 4-1 record and Whoberry hanging tough against strong upperclass competition.

The Cats were also hampered with some injuries, as Michael Rynkiewich is coming back from a shoulder injury and Jordan Dallas was trying to get back to health.

“This time of year, everybody’s banged

up.” Alcorn said. “Right now, it’s not so much the individuals as the whole team needs to get healthy.”

The rough day stood in contrast to some of Mount Vernon’s better performances this month, but Alcorn feels that his team was able to compete and may have gotten a few seeds back.

“Conference is the new focus,” he said.

“We know we can be competitive and put several guys in the finals next week.”

Conference and Sectional seedings were also on Spencer’s mind as he summed up the day for North Posey.

Spencer also praised the sportsmanship shown by the teams, but he felt that his team took some lumps as far as Sectional seeding was concerned.

Reitz finished the day in first place, winning all five meets, while Central was second at 4-1, followed by Castle (3-2) and Tell City (2-3).

Mount Vernon’s home dual meet with Union County set for Thursday was cancelled due to the weather and will not be

made up.

•The same pattern that defeated the Vikings at Harrison did them in at Southridge Thursday.

When it came to head-to-head matchups, North Posey was head and shoulders above the Raiders, winning those battles 31-9, but four forfeits put Southridge on top 33-31.

Ty Stock snapped back to pin Bryce Voegel in 1:13 at 113 pounds, one of four pins turned in by the Vikings.

Jordan Frymire, Darren O’Risky and Chris O’Risky also stuck their men, Edlerkin and Michael Frymire had the other Viking victories.

Jordan Frymire (126) stuck Michael Boyd in 5:15 and Darren O’Risky nailed Aidan Michael in 5;41 at 160 pounds, but Chris O’Risky took just under a minute (59 seconds) to finish off Brad Schwinghammer (195).

At 145, Elderkin posted a 16-8 major decision over Cleat Winkler, while Michael Frymire edged Jake Mundy (138) 5-4.

the starting five played most of the game), New Harmony’s legs were tired that led to problems.

“We have one quarter where we don’t score,” she said. “And tonight, that was the fourth quarter.”

Three free throws by three different players were all New Harmony could manage in the final chapter.

Mitchell also felt that he may have substituted too freely after the Lady Wildcats built up the early lead. He was using this game to try and see how some of his reserve players were doing, a more critical factor now that junior guard Jade Dixon is lost for the season due to a torn ACL. One girl who did step up was center Charlotte Roberts, who led the Lady Wildcats with a game-high 14 points.

“We challenged Charlotte (at halftime in the Tecumseh game) and she responded very well,” the coach said. “And she responded tonight. She’s one of several girls we’re looking at to step in. We’re looking for Rachel (Cash) to step up, for Shelby (Ritzert), Cheyenne (Strobel), hey it’s important, we’ve lost one of our best players and we’ve still got goals. Somebody’s got to step up and take Jade’s spot.”

Mitchell acknowledged New Harmony’s desire to play well against their larger county rival as a factor in the Lady Rappites’ effort against his team, especially since this is the last year of the school’s existence.

“I think they did,” he said. “I think they played hard and I think their aggressiveness and their feistiness took our girls a little bit by surprise. I think they found out that New Harmony came to play.”

Mitchell was disappointed, but his team will still take the win.

Randall added 10 points for Mount Vernon, while Stemple, Foster and Amy Seifert each put in six. Shelby Ritzert added four

points, while Cash, Jacey Ritzert and Erin Wolfe all put in two points each.

Madison Worman scored three points and Owen two to round out the New Harmony offense.

•Jacey Ritzert started moving up on the all-time list Saturday; scoring 14 points in helping the Lady Wildcats to a 45-26 win at Heritage Hills.

The weather was cold outside and the Lady Cats put the Lady Patriots in the deep freeze offensively, holding Heritage Hills to 10 first-half points while going up 20-10 at the break.

Foster added eight points, while Randall put in seven. Seifert, Stemple and Roberts each chipped in five tallies, while Strobel added one.

No Lady Patriot scored more than Ali Tsmimekles’ five points as Mount Vernon posted its fifth win of the season against a Pocket Athletic Conference foe.

The Lady Patriots were able to pull out the reserve game 22-19.

• Thursday’s contest was Mount Vernon’s “Pink Night” game to benefit Posey County Relay for Life.

The players and coaches for both teams wore pink shirts or pink ribbons in support of breast cancer awareness and the Mount Vernon Dance Cats went through the crowned during the second half to take donations. The event raised $540 for the Relay for Life and the pink game ball was donated to be given away at the Mount Vernon Relay for Life later this year.

Pink t-shirts were also sold to the public and the game rosters were printed on pink paper.

The Lady Wildcat freshmen raised their record to 4-2 with a 22-16 win over North in the preliminary.

Wolf, Abby Randall and Stefanie Bulla each scored six points to pace the frosh, while Kassie Collins put in four.

The frosh played their game since New Harmony does not have a reserve team.

On Saturday, Matthews was unstoppable, pumping in 37 points as the Lady Rappites got back on track with a 68-58 win over visiting Lanesville.

The junior forward downed 13 of 14 free throws as New Harmony took a 24-6 first quarter lead and then had to hold off a Lanesville squad that kept trying to chip away, closing to within nine points late in the game.

Matthews also hit 12 field goals for the Lady Rappites, who were featured in the Westside edition of the Evansville Courier and Press Friday.

Worman added 14 points for the Lady Rappites, who raised their record to 9-5 with the win. She also registered five assists and stole the ball twice.

Owen scored nine points with seven rebounds and four assists, while Morris scored five points with three boards and two assists.

Alyssa Scherzinger scored three points with three rebounds and four assists. Kendall Wilson cleared two boards.

Breast Cancer, from Page B1 Mount Vernon took control of the contest early, scoring the first five points of the game and then tacking on another seven to close out the opening chapter with a 21-7 advantage.

That may have provided most of the difference in the game. Megan Randall buried a pair of free throws for Mount Vernon‘s first points of the night, then Ellen Foster connected from beyond the three-point arc to make the score 5-0.

Kelsey Owen broke the ice for New Harmony, and then Morris answered a layup

by Amy Seifert to keep the Lady Rappites hanging around at 7-4. Mount Vernon answered that with four unanswered points before Morris downed a free throw with 2:47 to go in the period. Randall’s trey made it 14-5, but Matthews answered from the charity stripe before the lady Wildcats pulled away.

“Morgan (Matthews) has been shooting a lot better,” Toopes said. “The first part of the year she struggled a bit, but now she’s shooting the ball a lot better and it showed tonight.”

After the first chapter, the Lady Rappites were more competitive, playing the lady Cats even in the second quarter, although they still trailed at halftime 32-18 and the Lady Cats needed a Lauren Stemple threeball in the closing seconds for that margin.

New Harmony stymied the Lady Wildcats defensively for most of the third quarter, drawing first blood in the chapter on two Morris free throws more than two minutes into the period. The Lady Rappites were able to get as closed as 11 points in the third chapter, but went into the final chapter down 39-23 when Mount Vernon scored the last five points of the period.

Toopes also felt that the team did a better job shooting free throws, but due to a lack of depth (only six players saw action and

Fatigue takes toll late as Vikings hang with Princeton

Under the watchful eye of the referee, Hannah harness looks for an open teammate during this week’s loss to Princeton. Photo by Dave Pearce

By Dave Pearce With a 12-4 record and holding scalps of teams such as North and Harrison in their trophy case, the Princeton Tigers and their coach, former North Posey mentor Charles Mair might have wondered why they even had to travel to North Posey to play this year’s edition of the Lady Vikings.

This has not been a stellar year for the Lady Vikings as they have put only two wins up for the season.

But against the Princeton Tigers, you never would have known it…not until late in the game and fatique set it.

With a total of only 12 players in the program and half of those played the reserve contest, North Posey suffered another first-half blow when Haley Harness

went down with an ankle injury and the Lady Vikings were relegated to an “Iron Six” for the contest. But when the dust had settled, the Tigers, although winners, realized why you still play the game.

“I was proud of our girls because they battled and I felt like they played with a lot of class,” North Posey Coach Tracy Stroud said, following the contest. “They kept playing hard, even after the shots weren’t falling for them. We hit a lull where we couldn’t hit free throws but we kept plugging away.”

The Tigers came out roaring but cold as they got multiple chances at the basket but weren’t able to score until the 6:31 mark. The next bucket, a 3-pointer, put the Tigers ahead 5-0 and it ap-

Swimmers celebrate in style

By Steve Joos Tuesday was senior night for the Mount Vernon swim teams and that may have been the high point of the night.

The eight seniors on the Mount Vernon boys’ and girls’ swim teams were honored midway through the Wet Wildcats’ meet with Boonville, with each senior presenting a bouquet to their parents as coach Larry Zoller commented on their contributions to the team over the last four years.

The ceremony took place in the middle of a Wet Cat water logging of the visiting Pioneers, as the girls won their meet 146-29 and the boys took their contest 145-31.

Once again, the Wet Cats mixed and matched the lineup, but after three dual or double dual meets against overmatched competition, the times just weren’t that impressive for Mount Vernon.

“Basically, we were swimming against ourselves,” Zoller said. “We just came off two of these meets and our kids were not fired up. We didn’t have the swims that I’d like to have.”

There have been times when the late season contest has been used for swim-offs to determine positions for the postseason, but that wasn’t the case this year, Zoller said, adding that the senior night festivities were probably the highlight of the evening.

Two of those seniors stepped up in the 500-yard freestyle, as Amy stele and Kendyl Bourne went 1-2 in that race. Taylor Cullman also had a personal best in the 100-freestyle, while another senior, Mary Klueh, knocked two seconds off her personal best time in the 100-utterfly.

As for the boys, Austin Colson turned in a strong time in the 100-freestyle, while Reid Mobley swam the 500-freestyle in under five minutes and Kyle Smith scored over 200 points on the diving boards. Amanda Duckworth had a good night on the boards for the girls as well.

And the seniors had their night of honor.

“It’s a good thing,” Zoller said. “We love to celebrate the seniors and their successes, but it’s a sad thing, because some of these kids we’ve known since, well (Zoller’s wife and assistant coach) Brenda and I knave known the parents since before some of these kids were born. It’s part of our family.

It’s a touching thing, but it’s also sad, since we’re ending a relationship that we’ve had for so long.”

rejuvenated and score the first seven points to take a 29-25 lead before Perry could break the scoring ice with a free throw.

The next sequence of events could have taken a more experienced team to the next level as Mair, who had hassled the officials all evening long, was called for a technical. But all controversy seemed to rattle the young Lady Vikings as much or more than the Tigers as a usually-reliable Herrmann missed both free throws. But Hannah Harness hit a bucket to pull the Vikings back to within one at 29-28 a little over three minutes into the second half.

“In previous games when teams would put pressure on us, we would hit little pockets where we would implode and beat ourselves,” Stroud said of his team. “Tonight, we got beat but we didn’t beat ourselves. They had to come out and beat us and that is a big step in the right direction. With a team this young, that is a huge step.”

The teams traded baskets with the shortest player on the court again coming up with an offensive rebound and a bucket before North Posey took a time out trailing 33-30.

peared the rout might be on.

But the Lady Vikings had other ideas.

Emma Werry drive the lane and missed the lay-up but went among the tall timber, got her own rebound, and stuck it back in to put the Vikings on the board.

Princeton answered promptly on a rebound bucket of their own but the Vikings began to make it clear the Tigers were going to have to do more than just show up to take a win from this year’s team, who has only one senior and one junior playing.

Freshman Rachel Ungetheim got a conventional 3-point play at the 5:04 mark to pull the Vikings to within 7-5. A pair of Werry free throws could have tied the game but she was unable to connect on either.

But the Vikings went on a tear, outscoring Princeton 8-3 the remainder of the first quarter to hold a 13-10 lead at the end of the period. Haley Harness found Caitlinn Herrmann open underneath and Ungetheim stuck in a miss before the Tigers could answer. Herrmann hit another rebound basket before Hannah Harness found Ungetheim open and the Vikings were leaders after one.

Princeton quickly made up the deficit to begin the second period and took a 1713 lead before Ungetheim again helped her team with a pair of free throws. As a matter of fact, from the 17-13 deficit, the Vikings outscored Princeton 12-5 to finish out the half and take a 25-22 lead into the half-time locker room.

Brianna Perry nailed a 3-pointer to pull the Vikings back to within one and Werry tied it up at 20 from the free throw line.

Princeton took another brief lead at 22-20 on two free throws before Perry nailed another three and then found Ungetheim loose under the bucket for the final five points of the period to lead 25-22 at the half.

But Princeton came out of the half-time locker room

But the Vikings found themselves unable to take advantage of a more aggressive Princeton defense, hitting only 2-of-6 free throws in the remainder of the period, two of those the front end of bonus situations. The Tigers used those misses to moved out to a 40-32 lead heading into the final period.

“We missed a ton of free throws there that would have kept us right in the game,” Stroud said of the stretch. “But they are not missing them on purpose.

It’s not like we don’t practice them.”

With an eight to 10-point lead and the basketball, the Tigers were content to let the Vikings sit back in the zone that had worked so well for them for most of three quarters. Eventually, the Vikings had to pick up man-to-man and Princeton took advantage in a big way.

The Tigers outscored North Posey 14-4 in the final period to claim the deceptive 54-36 win.

“We had a pretty decent defensive plan as far as how we wanted to play each individual girl and our girls executed that plan,” Stroud said proudly. “You can have any kind of plan in the world

but if you don’t execute it, it doesn’t do much good.

Except for a couple of letdowns, they executed exactly what we wanted them to do. Some of the shots they made early were shots that we had decided we would let them take. But even after they hit those shots, the girls stuck to the gameplan and didn’t deviate from it and it came back around to us.”

In the preliminary game, a much-improved North Posey reserve team managed to hang on and defeat the Tigers 35-32 on the strength of a pair of Kendall Crowder free throws in the final seconds of the game.

The reserves took a commanding 26-9 half-time lead but were forced to hang on for the win after Princeton pulled to within 32-30 with just under 30 seconds remaining. The young Vikings hit only 4-of-9 free throws in the final period that enabled the Tigers to make the game close.

The Lady Vikings will host Pike Central in a rare Wednesday contest this week as the game was postponed so the school could host the North Posey Wrestling 6-way meet on Saturday. They will face Tell City on Saturday.

The Mount Vernon Swim and Dive Team held Senior Night Activities during their final home swim meet of the season against the visiting Memorial Tigers. Taking a break between events are seniors Amy Steele, Kendyl Bourne, Mary Klueh, Emily Harris, and Erika McCormick. In back are Kyle Smith, Nicholas Loehr, Reid Mobley, and Layton Hopper.

Point Township roots run deep, Cox family remains involved

High school sweethearts Robbie and Tonya Cox may live in town now, but their roots are still firmly planted in their native Point Township. Devoted to the church where they were dedicated, baptized and married, Robbie and Tonya have touched many lives through their membership at Point Township Church of the Nazarene.

Over the years, they’ve demonstrated their commitment to serving others through helping behind-the-scenes with countless activities at the church: children’s and adult plays, fellowship activities and, perhaps the most demanding, cleaning up after the annual chicken supper. Robbie is a member of the church board and, with Tonya, is in charge of the two church rental properties (along with fellow member Bryan Thompson). In another labor of love, Tonya produces the annual church calendar, featuring birthdays and anniversaries, that help members stay connected.

Most important, they were available to those displaced by th the h big bi flood d last l t spring, i h l i outt att helping the rescue center set up at their church as much as possible. They moved Tonya’s

grandmother, Sue Thompson, into their own home for three months until she could relocate to Cloverleaf. In the midst of the crisis, Tonya steadied her hand and used her gift of photography to capture flood images, which she had bound into a commemorative book.

For three years straight, Robbie led the Toyota team to achieve the distinction of largest donation at the annual walk to support Alzheimer’s research. Now employed as a production supervisor for Vectren, Robbie runs for various charities. His next event is the St. Patrick’s Run of Luck in Evansville. Project Secretary and Drafter at Apex Engineering, Tonya has worked there for 15 years and has supported a variety of the company’s charity fundraising activities.

Robbie and Tonya will celebrate their thirteenth wedding anniversary this year with a much-anticipated cruise around the Hawaiian Islands. They love camping also. Needless to say, Tonya enjoys photographing their vacations. She is generous with i h hher photos, ith h t sharing h i them thh with ith i h ttraveling li companions, and on at least one occasion creating a wall photo collage for a friend and his two daughters who joined her

family on a camping trip. They like to play cards, Canasta and Spades, and throw dice during their down time. Their main interest remains their two daughters: Valerie (10), a fifth grader. and Victoria (6), a kindergartener, both at West Elementary School.
