By Pam Robinson The first order of business was the swearing in ceremony for the three newly elected board members—Heather Allyn, Brian Jeffries and Kathy Weinzapfel—at the Tuesday, January 4, meeting of the Mount Vernon School Board.

Shortly afterward, the board voted unanimously to take a 5.5 percent reduction in compensation to match the 5.5 percent total pay reduction of teachers and administrators in the Metropolitan School District, or MSD, or Mount Vernon.

Board members had received $2,000 per year, $112 for the second regular meeting of each month and $62 for special meetings. Now, board members will receive $1,889 per year, $106 for the second regular meeting of each month and $59 for special meetings. The board will continue to receive the mileage reimbursement of 44 cents a mile, well below the mileage reimbursement allowance of 51 cents set by the Internal Revenue Service.

Superintendent Tom Kopatich welcomed the new board members, saying, “Congratulations.

I’d like to thank all of you for stepping forward and taking positions that are going to be very challenging—the finances of education alone.

I do appreciate you stepping forward and being

Bruce Baker re-elected president in Poseyville

By Valerie Werkmeister For almost a quarter of a century, Bruce Baker has served Poseyville as a member of the town council.

And, following the council’s January 12 meeting, Baker was elected by fellow council members Ron Fallowfield and Steve Ahrens to serve as president. This will mark Baker’s 23rd year at the council’s helm.

“I just want everyone to know all the progress that’s been made under his leadership,” Fallowfield stated.

Baker thanked Fallowfield and Ahrens for their support claiming the work has been a team effort.

Diana Powell was introduced as the new Poseyville ClerkTreasurer. She presided over her first meeting. Powell was placed in office after a caucus was held following former Clerk-Treasurer

Chris Lupfer’s abrupt resignation in December.

Ken Gorbett reported that they are still waiting on key pieces of equipment at the new wastewater treatment facility before it is ready to go online. They hope to have the plant operational this spring.

Volunteer Fire Department Chief Michael Crawford presented two new applicants for the board’s approval. Katherine Kern and Jason Knowles were approved pending favorable background checks that still must be completed.

Crawford announced that the fire department will hold an open house on April 9. A fundraising letter on behalf of the department will soon be mailed to North Posey residents. The department intends to raise as much money as possible towards the purchase of a new rescue truck.

Council members also approved a request by Crawford to install a new tile floor in the meeting room at a cost of $1,800. The work will be completed prior to the open house.

A hearing for the grant application will be held in February. This will be the third time the department will attempt the grant request and they hope it will be their last.

Public support has been key and February’s hearing will be no different. The department will heavily rely on public input and comments to continue in the grant application process.

Council members complimented the town’s street department employees on their excellent work doing snow removal. Baker stated he had even received compliments from citizens on the good job town employees had done. Ahrens stated

Sheriff’s pay is now legal

By Dave Pearce For some time, the Posey County Sheriff’s salary has been operating out of line with policies and procedures in place for the office. At Tuesday’s Posey County Council meeting, newly-elected Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth took steps to bring that salary back within the proper guidelines as he signed his contract as sheriff of Posey County.

The net amount the county will pay the new sheriff will actually be less than his predecessor.

Oeth indicated that by accepting the statute amount, it prevents a costly negotiation process.

Although the base pay will increase, the increase was more than offset by the fact that the new sheriff has declined medical health insurance coverage paid for by the county, making the agreement easy for both sides.

With Councilmen Ton Schneider and Ralph Weinzapfel not present at the meeting, the group corrected a problem they realized they had with appointing members to different boards prior to the installment of the new council and the new year.

At the suggestion of President Bob Gentil, the group re-affirmed they appointments they had made prior to the January meeting with the exception of Alan Blackburn to the Area Plan Commission.

Blackburn said that he would voluntarily step down from his appointment to the commission and Mattingly was voted to take Blackburn’s place on that board for a oneyear term.

he also received compliments on their professionalism during oncall responses.

The council passed ordinance 2011-01-12-01, vacating a portion of a street north of lots seven and 18 in Northern Acres Subdivision. The ordinance passed on the first reading since it was passed by unanimous vote and there were no fines or penalties involved with the ordinance.

The council also approved reappointing Larry Droege to the Economic Development committee. His term was due to expire in February. Baker stated he would contact Droege to make sure he wanted to continue to serve on the committee.

The next regular Poseyville Town Council meeting will be held February 16, at 4:30 p.m. at the Poseyville Community Center.

OPINION

Customer service has gone away because we let it Young people growing up today have no idea of the meaning of customer service. I learned this first-hand this week at one of the mobile phone stores. A young lady took a tongue-lashing from behind the counter. This young woman should have walked out and bought her phone somewhere else. But instead, she took the TRUTH... crap and went on and bought STRANGER THAN the phone.

I’m not sure just when cus- FICTION tomer service died. But it has BY DAVE died a long and painful death PEARCE for those of us who are old enough to remember when customer service was a part of the sales package.

I can remember when storekeepers appreciated the fact that you bought from their store instead of the store down the street. They were kind to you and when you had problems, you knew you could always bring the item back for help or service. Those days are all but gone.

If you don’t want to deal with the smartalecks at one counter, you can go down the street and deal with the smartalecks at their competitor. In these days when the “mom and pop” stores are a thing of the past, employees of the stores don’t seem to care whether you buy from their store or not. And, of course, there is always the Internet.

Oh, yes, Al Gore’s Internet. Did the thought ever cross your mind when you are shopping on Ebay that if the deal is such a steal, why can’t they sell it in their own town or on their

own street? bay is a great way of While I am sure that Ebay llers of some items, I connecting buyers with sellers have also become painfully aware that it is also a venue for those who have flawed merchandise to move it across country where you don’t have to do a “face to face” with the customer. I realize their are consequences for that type of behavior, but someone has to initiate those consequences.

And if the item is not a large item, most people won’t go to the trouble. Ebay and Craig's List predators are counting on that.

I find it interesting that we cannot understand why things are less expensive on the Internet. Use your brain. It is because you get less. If you take out most of the human element (employee expenses) and the item is mailed to you, yes, it probably can be bought a little cheaper. But should you ever need customer service, why not contact your Internet supplier? I just prefer to have someone I can physically talk to. That helps the economy because it puts someone in a job.

And just for those of you who cannot remember when customer service was important, your business is “supposed” to be appreciated.

You deserve to be treated with respect when you go to a business when you have a problem.

And for those of you who are being paid as an employee of the company, please realize that while your job may not be the highest paying

job in the company, it is one of the most important. You are the one who makes the impression on the customer who will decide if he or she will buy again at your place of business.

I can remember when you drove up to a gas station and were greeted by a friendly attendant who washed your windows while he was putting gasoline into your car. He usually would check the oil as well to make sure you were taking care of your vehicle and it got you safely to your destination. At times, he would even check the tire pressure and if your tire(s) needed air, he would gladly put the air in at no charge.

But today, people have become accustomed to having to do everything themselves. At the big chain stores, most of the employees complain if they have to hit the reset button on the machine inside before you begin pumping your own gas and doing the remainder of items that need to be done before you get back on the road.

But then again, I can remember when our family bought groceries “on the bill” at The Food Shoppe. It was just a few blocks from our house and even though we probably

could have saved a few dollars by driving to another town, loyalty meant something. They were loyal to us and we were loyal to them.

At the end of the month, Oscar and Donna would add up what we owed and Mom or Dad would go in and pay the bill. Believe it or not, a month or two we were a few dollars short but it was never a problem. Oscar and Lois always knew that they would get their money.

But today, loyalty has also gone by the wayside. Loyalty seems to last about as long as your memory. Often, that’s not too long.

I sometimes sit back and ask myself what has happened. When you take a good look around, it doesn’t take too long to figure it out.

People need to again go back to the Golden Rule....Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Instead, the new philosophy seems to be “Do unto others BEFORE they do unto you.”

You know, God may have known what he was talking about after all when the first of the Ten Commandments was “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Maybe we should give it a try again!

Letter to the Editor Dental care, payment method needs attention To the Editor: Some dental insurers are changing the way they pay dental benefit claims. Not only does this cause confusion for thousands of Hoosiers, but it hinders proper dental care.

Dentists and insurance companies refer to this issue as “Assignment of Benefits.” Practically speaking, the patient signs an agreement requesting that the insurance company send payment for their treatment to the dentist. The dentist then bills the patient for the remaining balance. This arrangement has traditionally allowed dental providers to float the cost of a patient’s treatment until insurance payments arrive, which can take weeks or even months.

Unfortunately, some dental insurers have decided not to honor the patient’s request if the dentist does not belong to the insurance company’s preferred provider organization (PPO).

The benefits go directly to the patient’s home, while insurance companies know the payment may never reach the dentist. This is how insurance companies pressure the dentist to join their networks.

For patients, parents and dentists who are not expecting an insurance check, it is confusing when it arrives in the mail. The patient thinks it is a refund check and may cash it – not realizing the dental bill is outstanding. For those who do know to forward the check to the dentist, the hassle of doing so can delay or even block payment for patients or to the dentist.

Why does this matter?

Dentists are small business owners with

staff salaries and overhead. When dentists are unsure if insurance companies will cover their claims, they are forced to ask patients to pay upfront for treatment. In a troubled economy, asking patients to pay upfront will certainly prevent some people from being able to receive vital dental care.

The Indiana Dental Association believes insurance companies should respect the relationship between patients and dentists. We invite patients who value the dental care they receive to take action today in three easy steps: Sign our online petition already signed by 40,000 Hoosiers at SupportPatientRights.com.

Join the Indiana Dental Association for Dental Day at the Capitol on Jan. 19, 2011. Find out more at SupportPatientRights.com.

Contact your Indiana State Legislator and voice your support of SB 65 authored by Sen. Beverly Gard (R-Greenfield). This bill will require insurance companies to honor patients’ assignment of benefits requests.

What is especially disturbing is the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce’s decision to oppose assignment of benefit legislation during the 2011 session. This is both anti-patient and anti-small business. Pitting patients against doctors in the name of big insurance company profits is bad public policy. It discourages patients from seeking appropriate oral health care.

In the interest of oral health in Indiana, Martin Szakaly, D. D. S., President Indiana Dental Association

Gavel Gamut’s “THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY” Should you have stumbled across this column last week you may recall that the topic has been Predictions. As Peg will be glad to tell you, most of my predictions are of the Monday morning variety. In fact, after I made what struck me as rather witty prognostications in last week’s column, Peg declared those were not predictions but mere recitations of the obvious. She then challenged me to truly take a stand on what the future may hold. Ergo, you may blame her for the following attempts to see Fate’s hole cards.

Please remember these are not things I hope will happen but some of the things I think may happen.

Our Legal System Just as nature abhors a vacuum, power seeks to expand.

Within twenty years Americans will have lost their right to elect many more of their judges. Ever more judges at all levels will be selected by various cabals. Some of the subsequent retention “elections” will be an effete irrelevancy. Judicial power will slowly merge into executive power as presidents, governors and commissions pick whom they want to be judges.

The public will continue to lose influence over our legal system and jury trials will be as rare as unicorns.

Homeland Security The attacks of September 11, 2001 will be recognized as one of history’s most devastating blows due to our reactions to them. The world’s most powerful nation has already spent trillions of dol-

lars and thousands of lives in response to the attacks.

Americans, who since

GAVEL GAMUT

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE 1492 have claimed as sacred the right to move about freely, will continue to meekly accept all manner of Draconian restrictions in the name of security. One of those restrictions will be the ability of governments at all levels to track the whereabouts of any person at any time.

Within twenty years America’s interstate highway system will have security checkpoints and cameras and a federally issued identification card will be required to travel upon them. It will soon cost more for Homeland Security than for our national military budget.

In response to such terrorist attacks as Timothy McVeigh’s bombing of the Murrah government building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995 and Jared Lee Loughner’s shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson, Arizona last week, political campaigns will slowly morph into purely electronic events.

This will lead to a small group of nationally powerful techies selecting many office holders at all levels.

sil fuel alternative except nuclear power will be providing no more than 20 percent of our energy needs in twenty years but they will cost trillions of tax dollars. America will eventually either decline into a second class nation or develop nuclear fusion or fission or both as primary energy resources.

Education During the next twenty years education will shift from general to specific and from brick and mortar to electronic. The teaching of language skills will cease as what will pass for communication will be absorbed from television, the entertainment industry and personal communication applications, such as Twitter and Facebook. Personal communication devices will become smaller, more powerful and will be imbedded in the human body.

Students will no longer study history as information will be instantly available electronically, such as through Wikipedia, and the lessons of history will be merely history.

Beginning even before birth, children will be tested, sorted into groups and channeled into specialties as their abilities and the needs of society dictate. By the way, this is hardly a new idea. Please refer to Plato’s Republic.

Athletics Over the next generation, due to the general acceptance of sperm and egg banks and artificial insemination, humans will be bred for particular physical skills. This will

not be the province of professional sports organizations but of prospective parents who will seek to design their children. As science gains ever more ability to manipulate genes, parents will seek and

pay for such manipulation.

Of course, this will, also, lend itself to manipulation for other traits, such as intelligence and hair color. Eventually we will all look like Ken and Barbie on steroids, but we

will do well on Jeopardy.

Columnists As newspapers continue to disappear, pundits will shift their efforts to other mediums. As for me, I may start spray painting boxcars.

Home Country Slim Randles Mickey Baker, down at The Strand, really knows how to start the new year off right.

Mickey has owned our HOME local movie COUNTRY house since BY SLIM Ike was RANDLES playing golf, you see, and he has learned to adapt to the times by ignoring them.

When new movies went from women wearing skimpy clothes to no clothes at all, fewer of us went to the movies. Mickey wasn’t happy with the newer films, either.

He kept going to more family-oriented films, but found that Hollywood decided that meant violent cartoons.

When the home video market exploded, there was very little reason for The Strand any more, except for teenage dating. The balcony cuddlers will always be in our lives, of course, and many of us made lifelong plans up there, too.

And there were a few years when The Strand closed its doors. Mickey occasionally rented it out to bands, but since there was no dance floor, the audience had to be contented with screaming

and throbbing.

Then he started playing old movies. Good ones.

Roy leaped off Trigger to quell the bad guys. Tyrone drew swords against the Saracens.

Bomber Command destroyed dams on the Ruhr. Bogart twitched his lip against the mob. It was just great.

We paid too much for popcorn, but we didn’t care. We cheered in the good parts and booed in the bad parts and, best of all, we went home happy, having relived something wonderful from our childhoods.

So how did Mickey start the year? By having a tooferone sale on Jujubes at the

snack bar and kicking off the year with “Captain Horatio Hornblower.” Not that youngster on public television, mind, but the captain himself, Gregory Peck. When it came to buckling swash, ol’ Greg knew how to do it.

And instead of imaginationless nudity, we got Virginia Mayo for two hours! Swimsuits come and swimsuits go, but you get Virginia Mayo wearing what looks like Grandma’s ruffly bathroom curtains … that’s a woman!

Now you take Jujubes, expensive popcorn, Gregory Peck, Virginia Mayo, and a broadside of cannons against El Supremo? It doesn’t get much better than this.

Tyler Roos gets early start to career

This photo taken by Lori Roos has earned 7-year-old Tyler Layne Roos a spot in the popcorn advertising campaign for Evansville’s Buffalo Trace Boy Scout Council.

By Pam Robinson Tyler Layne Roos, the 7-year-old son of Brian and Cheryl Roos of Mount Vernon, has been chosen as one of three Tri-State youth to appear in the popcorn advertising campaign for the Buffalo Trace Boy Scouts Council headquartered in Evansville. Mom recounts that Tyler worked one day in December with Lori Rosas of the Talent and Crew Network based in Evansville, and the next day he received the call to represent the Boy Scouts.

The spotlight suits Tyler. His selection as Little Mr. Rivers Days this past summer started him on the path of modeling and acting. A student at the D’Alto Center for performing arts in Evansville, he will also be featured in a small walk-on part in the Evansville Civic Theatre’s production of ”The Pillowman,” starting January 16. His parents are preparing an audition demonstration reel in the hopes Tyler can continue and build a modeling and acting career. Tyler says he would like to be an actor for television and the big screen, especially the voice behind characters in productions such as “Johnny Test” and “Scooby Doo.” His big brothers, Indiana University sophomore Ranger and Mount Vernon High School senior James, along with his imaginary friend Tristan encourage Tyler’s vivid imagination. On St. Patrick’s Day, he dressed and danced the part of a leprechaun for his West Elementary classmates in Mrs. Beebe’s first grade.

Mom says all earnings from Tyler’s budding career will be saved for college.

Tyler says he wants his own tour bus.

Sermon of the Week: Finding Joy in the Promise By: Rev. Monica Gould First Presbyterian MTV Isaiah 7:1-10 Promises, promises, oh who hasn’t heard it before? On Friday, we’ll go to the zoo, but Friday comes and goes, as do many Fridays and the promise of the zoo lays dormant in the child’s mind. As a matter of fact the child is now an adult but yet, the unfulfilled promise resonates through the inner child of a lifetime of promises un-kept.

So who should be any different than Ahaz when he challenges the prophet of the promise of the child to come to save? He was not about to ask for something that would remain empty hanging between heaven and earth.

But despite the attitude of Ahaz, despite his refusal to participate in the words of the prophet, God comes forth with the promise of a sign of salvation. Thanks be to God, that we find here in Scripture, the words and the work of the Lord are not dependent on our attitudes, or our moods. That God will make sure his promises are carried out, that salvation will come to us even if we don’t want to ask for it!

Once again, this week as we are on our final approach to the manger. We can see the lights of the city of Bethlehem and the stable is within our reach. Our joy is found in the promise of God which remains there for us year after year. Whether we are willing to ask for the promise of salvation or not, God is there waiting, calling, visible for you and me to see. There in a manger bed, God in flesh appearing is fulfilling all the hopes and dreams of ages past, and setting in motion all promises for the future.

But, here we are five days before Christmas Eve and we’re more nervous than ever, we’re more distracted, fidgety, disagreeable, touchy, and some folks are just down right mean. There is a lot of

pressure in the next few days.

We have gillions of things to do and at the same time we have attitude adjustments to make minute by minute as we realize we MUST be joyful because the season of the birth of our salvation is a joyful one. The people we love the most hear cranky words from us and the anxiety about what to buy when nothing has been bought yet increases our fear and frustration and we no longer hear the words of Isaiah as promise. We respond to the words as Ahaz did and refuse to participate in a moment of God’s greatest gift of joy.

Finding the joy in the promise of salvation comes to us from the very words of Jesus. “Let the little children come unto to me for of such is the kingdom of heaven”.

The depth of our joys can be found as we reach to the manger, as we reach out to touch the Christ child. For within that child lies all of our hopes and dreams, within that child lies all the unkept promises of this world, within that child lies the fulfillment of all that our inner child has never received.

There are many who face this holiday of joy through the lenses of loss. There are many who face the time of hope through the experience of diagnosis of disease.

There are others who are in the trenches of war, evictions, bankruptcies and suffer so greatly that to pause for a moment of this promise of joy might disrupt the reality of their circumstances and perhaps even alter their life.

In the movie (Joyeux Noel), a true story about the soldiers in the First World War in 1914, the men were on the front line in trenches just 100 meters from each other, Scots, Germans and French. They were fighting over the border of which the ground between them was known as no mans land. One of the German soldiers was

an opera singer and he was called away from the front line to sing a special presentation in front of the Kaiser with his fiancé. At the end of the program he felt compelled to return to the trenches to sing for the soldiers who were giving their life for this cause of the Kaiser.

When he returned he began singing and he lifted high one of the Christmas trees from the trench and he rose out of the trench singing and began walking into the area of no mans land. The troops from the other trenches rose up and began walking forward and joining together in song. As they were gathered there they chose to call a truce for Christmas Eve. They stopped fighting and sang about the Savior’s birth.

Spontaneously they celebrated mass together. They saw each other’s faces. Scots, Germans and French shared one another’s stories of life.

They were so changed by the experience that they could no longer shoot each other. They shared a joy of humanity in the midst of war to the point that they refused to fight any longer. They shared a joy of love and brotherhood. The moment is marked in history as a moment of greatest insubordination. Yet in the hearts and souls of those sol-

diers, they lived and breathed a joy of salvation. They were removed from their duty and were all sent to more dangerous places. The experience of one Christmas cost them their lives yet, it brought them new life and they were changed and blessed forever.

Friends, for the next few moments reflect on some of the things that have brought you the greatest joy. Think on these things.

We are steps away from the manger. We have traveled so very differently this year. Many things are not the same. So much of the journey is different than last year.

God steers us to Bethlehem because God knows that is where we will discover how amazing his love is no matter how different our life is today, yesterday or tomorrow.

God embraces us in the moment in which we find ourselves. God reaches out to us as we reach out to him.

Promises, promises. God is with us, now in flesh appearing. God is the joy of our salvation in Jesus Christ.

The Lord is come. How great our joy! How great our love.

Embark on these last few steps and embrace the child and allow the God who sent him to embrace you, “for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Amen.

Family history come together in Gerton Auto project

By Pam Robinson John and Jill Gerton of Mount Vernon have preserved a piece of local history in restoring the two-story building at 201 W. Second Street that features the spectacular new showroom for their Gerton Auto Sales. The building was originally constructed in 1924 to house Gonnerman Chevrolet/Hudson/ Essex. During the late 1960s, the building housed Gerton Brothers Office Machines, owned and operated for 40 years by John’s parents, Doris and the late Paul Gerton. It pays tribute to the Gerton family’s pride in serving the business needs of their community for two generations.

“We tried to maintain as much of the historic integrity of the building as possible,” John comments. “Jill and I are both antique lovers and history lovers. That’s the part that sold us on it. The building was structurally sound, but when we bought it, two-thirds of it hadn’t been used for years. We had one light, no place to walk, water came in every time it rained. We literally started at the top and worked our way down.”

Once the new metal roof was installed, work began on the plaster and wood work, with more than 95 percent of the hand-laid ornamentation kept in place. New paint and insulation soon appeared along with the first heating and air conditioning unit and new lighting and plumbing. The building now meets the highest energy efficiency standards.

“The biggest thing was starting to shovel everything out,” John admits. “We found office machine boxes in the attic addressed to my mom and dad here.” The attic also held interior doors, such as those that separate the body shop from the showroom.

The rear of the first floor opened initially where a gym and boxing ring had been most

recently located. New garage doors were installed. Then, new windows were installed with as many original windows and transoms kept as were salvageable.

The Gertons modeled the front windows after those pictured for early American car showrooms. The windows are separated with tops featuring grids.

All sale vehicles are kept inside now. As a finishing touch, the Gertons only need to decide how to coat the concrete floors.

The next phase of renovation will bring insulation, heating and venting to the second floor. Originally used as the body shop for the Gonnerman auto dealership, it features a ramp to drive cars straight to the top. The Gertons plan to keep their collectible cars on the second floor.

In addition, they purchased the lot west of their building, so they have room for business expansion.

Their only disappointment is finding no photos of the original auto dealership. They would love to see any photos available and encourage anyone possessing such photos to contact them.

In fact, John and Jill Gerton welcome visitors any time to their showroom, open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays by appointment. They specialize in traditional classics and collectibles, heavy-duty trucks and European models.

They will find what you are looking for in a vehicle, usually locally, and invite sellers as well as buyers to contact them about their quality used vehicles. John and Jill may also be contacted by calling 812-838-2248 or by visiting their website, www.gertonautosales. com.

Plans underway for bigger, better Relay at North Posey

By Valerie Werkmeister The new year has only just began, yet there is already $8,455.36 in the North Posey American Cancer Society Relay for Life coffers.

Committee members met on January 10 for their kickoff meeting and discussed preliminary plans for this year’s Relay event. The Relay is scheduled Saturday, June 25 and 26 at the North Posey High School track.

Chairpersons for each committee were chosen and include the following: Team Development – Melanie Hoffman; Advocacy – Alice Simmons; Sponsorship – Karen Blaylock; Online Public Relations – Jeri Ziliak; Survivorship – Nancy Dougan; Mission – Deb Schmitt; Entertainment – Megan Baehl; Accounting – Ruth Kissel; Logisitics – Joe Tepool; Ceremonies – Jackie Wiggins and Promotions – Valerie Werkmeister.

Relay is nothing new to our area, yet many may still wonder exactly what the Relay for Life is. The event itself is a way for people to fight back against cancer, celebrate the lives for those who are currently fighting the disease and remember those who lost the battle. Anyone can form a team, register and raise funds to help support the cause. On the day of the event, teams will campout on the high school track overnight. A representative from each team is asked to be on the track for the entire 24hour period. The idea is that since cancer never sleeps, neither do the Relay for Life participants.

Now, as intimidating as it sounds to walk around the track for an entire 24 hours, there are plenty of activities planned to make the time fly by. Each team brings a canopy tent for shelter against whatever weather Mother Nature dishes out that day and many participate in the tent decorating competition according to the theme. It has been decided this year will be a tailgating theme.

The entertainment committee members work very hard from now until event day to plan fun activities for every hour. In years past, some of the activities included a survivor lap in which all of the current cancer survivors will walk the track by themselves; a watermelon eating contest; a frozen tshirt contest in which contestants had to break the ice block to get to the t-shirt; a kiddie parade; dressing up as your favorite movie star; a Miss Relay contest in which the guys dress up as the gals and many more.

There is also a live auction and local businesses and families have always done a wonderful job with their generous donations to raise additional funds on event day.

One fun way to raise additional money that debuted last year and will continue this year is lining quarters around the track. “Got a quarter? Give a quarter” is a great way for kids or adults to see just how many quarters it would take to completely circle the track. Start saving those quarters now!

Some teams are expected to return year after year with

Mount Vernon School Board, from Page 1A willing to work together for what’s best for our school district.”

Leigh Latshaw, representing the local chapter of the National Education Association, or NEA, then commented on the swearing in of the new board members: “I keep this inspirational calendar and on my desk, and I’m telling you folks, it is spot on. Today’s was, ‘People seldom see the halting and painful steps by which the most significant success is achieved.’ Welcome, welcome to the board. On behalf of the NEA of Mount Vernon, we look forward to working with you. . . .You will now see sometimes those halting and painful steps that we take, and I know that you’re ready for the challenge.”

When the board spoke in one voice to support the teachers and administrators of the MSD of Mount Vernon with the first reduction in board pay in over 18 years, Latshaw commented further: “Thank you for agreeing to take a 5.5 [percent] cut.

You have no idea how many people have stopped me in the hallway and say, ‘Well is the board going to do that?’ I can go back tomorrow when I send these out [her minutes] and say, ‘Yeah, the board stepped up and did that.’. . . So thank you. That makes all of our battles a little bit easier, and we appreciate that.”

New school board officers were elected as follows: President Beth McFadin Higgins, Vice President Heather Allyn and Secretary Kathy Weinzapfel.

man when her father Charlie Martin served on the Mount Vernon City Council in the 1980s and later served a one-term appointment to the Posey County Council.

“I’ve worked with the city for 20 years in July, and I want to spend more time with my family and attend more of the kids’ school functions. My daughter will be a senior next year and that will take a lot of my attention, ” comments Sitzman, still newlywed to Danny Sitzman with whom she cares now for their four children. “Denise can handle this job.

There’s no task she won’t take on and figure out. She gets along with everyone, all the department heads and employees. She is very capable.”

Dike is a Posey County native, the daughter of Don and Paula Mathew, and a 1989 graduate of Mount Vernon High School. Two years after high school, she completed her associate’s degree in business from the Uni-

versity of Southern Indiana. She worked for American General Finance, Midwest Federal and United Fidelity, taking on increasingly more complex banking responsibilities, until she came to the Clerk-Treasurer’s office. There as Deputy Clerk-Treasurer, she has managed all payroll and bank statements in addition to city weed control.

“After 15 years of working for the city, I’d love to serve the people as Clerk-Treasurer.

Any calls anybody would make to the office, whether they pertain to our office or another office, we’d be more than willing to help them in whatever way we can,” Dike says.

“I’ll always like to see our office work well with all departments in the city—the way we do now.”

Dike is married to Detective John Dike of the Mount Vernon Police Department.

The couple has two sons, Michael (23) and Braden (8).

their trademark treats to sell—lemon shake-ups, the Dairymen’s ice cream, baked goods, hot dogs and hamburgers. A dunk tank manned by local “celebrities” is usually on site too, giving everyone a chance to take their best shot. A DJ helps keep the pace with music throughout the event.

The most anticipated portion of the event, by far, is the Luminary Service held after dark. The track is lined with luminaries that are lit as the names of those who have lost the fight against cancer are read. It is the most solemn and eye-opening portion of the event.

Anyone can form a team and new teams are always encouraged. Last year, there were a total of 24 teams. The goal for this year is 25. Those 24 teams helped raise a total of $76,757. This year’s goal is $78,000. Teams can register online at www.relayforlife.org/northposeyin or, by contacting Carolyn Higginson at 874-3184. A Facebook page has also been created and can be found by searching North Posey Relay for Life.

Please watch future issues of the Posey County News for information on upcoming fundraisers for the American Cancer Society North Posey Relay for Life. A card party will be held March 16 at St. Francis Church cafeteria in Poseyville. A Pizza Hut dine-in fundraiser will also be scheduled and a few teams are working together to hold a sale during the annual Poseyville Town-wide Cristi Sitzman, currently Mount Vernon’s Cleark-treasurer, has announed that she yard sale in May. will not run this year and puts her support behind her chief deputy, Denise Dike.

Alley family a source of Posey County inspiration An area resident since 1965, Harriette Alley celebrates the 25th anniversary this year of serving Mount Vernon with Printcrafters, the printing business that earned the coveted Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year Award in 2005. She and her late husband Homer have been loyal supporters not only of the Chamber, but also of the Posey County Community Foundation, the Posey Humane Society, the Posey County Historical Society and the Mount Vernon River Days.

natives, Harriette and Homer were trained as journalists and moved to Southwestern Indiana when Homer accepted the position with “The Sunday Courier and Press” as a police reporter and advanced to become city editor before serving three years as editor locally. Later, Homer shifted his focus from journalism to preparing publications for businesses and signed on with Evansville’s Creative Press, a job that led to the purchase of an established printing company in Mount Vernon.

Located at 304 W. 4th Street, Printcrafters now employs three employees

in addition to Harriette. She keeps several part-time employees busy as well.

Customers have been greeted by Harriette’s pets throughout the years.

Some time ago, Copycat gained notoriety for curling up on the warm copy machine to sleep and for rifling through papers as if filing them.

Now, cats Buttercup and Chunk rub against customers’ legs in a bid for attention—and usually receive it.

As the cats’ history reveals, Harriette has a soft spot for strays. strays Copycat just showed up on her doorstep while Buttercup and Chunk were adopted from the Posey Humane Society. An-

other stray cat, Smokey, keeps Harriette company at home. A picture of her collie Posey, who lived until just a few years ago, shows the magnificent dog Harriette rescued from the pound.

Harriette and Homer were blessed with three children: two daughters, Rachael and Logan, and a son, Wade.

Rangers poised in big game as slow start costs Vikes

By Dave Pearce It had been a long time since two teams with undefeated records this far into the season had taken the court at the North Posey High School gymnasium.

But by the Vikings taking care of business against Tecumseh on Friday night and the Forest Park Rangers edging South Spencer, the two undefeated teams took the floor in front of a packed house.

But the Rangers, by virtue of the success they enjoyed in the post season last year and the tough competition they had faced up to this point, came out of the gate fast and came away with a 62-47 victory over the Vikings.

The Vikings did themselves no favors as they appeared to be apprehensive in the early going and the Rangers did what good teams do.

They smelled the early blood and jumped out to an 11-2 lead before the Vikings could put a little run together but the Vikings still trailed 18-5 at the end of the first quarter.

Ironically, that was the same margin as the Rangers won the game.

“We learned one thing about big games and that is that you can’t try too hard,” North Posey Coach Matt Wadsworth said after the game. “That’s what to us early. We were all trying so hard that when we got the shot, we were tight. But I think that is something that we can take away from a game like this.

When we were a little looser there in the second half and North Posey point guard Dillon Davenport gets away made our run, I think that from his defender to score during Saturday evening’s is reflective of what we can loss to Forest Park. It was the first loss of the year for the do against a team like Forest Park. We just have to have Vikings. Photo by Dave Pearce

North Posey Coach Matt Wadsworth appears less than pleased with the events transpiring on the floor during Saturday evening’s loss. Wadsworth said his team can definitely learn from the experience and be better prepared next time.Photo by Dave Pearce the right mentality to take into the big game.”

Despite the lop-sided first quarter, the Vikings began fighting their way back into the game in the second period as Eric Wargel opened the stanza with a tip-in but Cameron Calvert was called for his second foul early in the period and that took away some of the things the Vikings had counted on doing inside.

But the Vikings never gave up.

Nick Scheller hit a pair of free throws to pull the Vikings to within 10 at 19-9 before the Rangers added a free throw when Cooper Martin picked up his second foul just a little over a minute into the second period.

Scheller answered with another pair of free throws

but Forest Park got loose on a back door to make the score 23-11.

Dillon Davenport then hit Martin for two inside but the Rangers always seemed to have an answer as they hit eight of their first 11 shots while the Vikings made only three of their first 13. They quickly answered with a 3-pointer. Another trip down the floor produced a spin move inside and the Rangers were ahead 28-13.

But the Vikings began chipping away. Davenport drove hard to the basket the next two trips down the floor and he presented a matchup problem for the Rangers and scored four free throws in the two trips to pull back to within 28-17. His bucket with 30 seconds remaining in the half but the Ranger

lead to 28-19.

“We can isolate and do some things better,” Wadsworth said of his team. “And we are a much better free throw shooting team now than we were two months ago. And we are better at getting movement on offense and getting open. Now what we have to do is start to develop that sixth, seventh, and eighth guy that cane come in off the bench and provide us some quality minutes and help us on the defensive end.

They need to come up with some rebounds and step up and guard somebody in the post.”

The Rangers’ prayer at the close of the half was answered as Nick Neidig could not have played any better

Lady Wildcats have too much depth for Rappites

By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon girls’ basketball team got to work on a few things that they might need further down the road and some of their younger players got a chance to see some action.

The New Harmony girls were still going at it after the issue had been decided, late in the fourth quarter.

The visiting Lady Wildcats put two players in double figures Thursday night and jumped out to a big early lead as they toppled the Lady Rappites 51-25.

“I thought we played well at times,” Mount Vernon coach Steve Mitchell said. “I thought we played a little bit better in the third quarter. We played well on offense. We got the ball inside better. We had a size advantage and the first four or five times, we got the ball inside to Jacey (Ritzert) and Carynn (Koch), We played better.”

Mitchell was pleased with the win, but he also saw room for improvement in some areas, mainly on defense. The Mount Vernon coach was concerned about the number of times his team allowed the Lady Rappites to get to the free throw line, but he also complimented New Harmony for attacking the basket.

Lady Rappites coach Jennifer Toopes said that her team knew what they were up against, but they also gave a strong effort.

“They gave it 100 percent from the buzzer,” Topes said.

“We knew coming in that Mount Vernon was a good team.

We wanted to be able to come in and compete and we did that.”

Even though they put up a fight, the Lady Rappites saw Mount Vernon score the first seven points of the game and pull away from there.

“The girls came out intimidated,” Toopes said. “Mount Vernon is a good club and they knew that. Mount Vernon’s doing very well this year and they just got intimidated and then they realized that they could compete with them.”

Calling off the press on Mount Vernon’s part also helped, the coach added.

The usual suspects when it comes to leading the Lady Wildcat offense, Ritzert pumped in 15 points and Koch 10 as the Lady Cats scored the first seven points of the game and never looked back.

The Lady Cats worked on the half-court game after pulling away, Mitchell explained, adding that they took off the press in order to work on the half-court zone. They also played a lot of reserves, giving each player on the varsity roster at least two quarters of action in the varsity game.

The Lady Rappites hung around a bit longer in the second quarter, but still trailed 22-9 at the half. A 12-3 run in the third quarter stretched things to 34-12 Mount Vernon. It was

Wildcat struggles continue at Vincennes but headway made

By Steve Joos The work in progress continues for the Mount Vernon boys’ basketball team.

The Wildcats hung in early in Friday’s game at Vincennes, but the Alices pulled away late in the second quarter and went from there to post a 57-45 Big Eight Conference victory.

Coach Gary Wilsey wasn’t all that displeased with the outcome, despite the loss.

“We’re still learning how to play for 32 minutes,” Wilsey said. “We’re learning how to execute and how to stay mentally tough. I can’t say and I’d have to watch the tape and see how long we played well, but we’re getting closer and that’s the good news. The other thing is that we’ve got some young kids who are really pushing our seniors and we may have to look at some other things there, so that’s just part of the maturing process.”

The Cats tried to slow things down and had some success early in the game. They led by four points late in the opening chapter, but Vincennes cut the lead to 9-8 at the first stop. The two teams went back and forth for a while in the second quarter, with Mount Vernon going up 12-10 on Jacob Steinhart’s three-pointer with 5:11 to go in the second quarter.

The Cats wee outscored 14-4 from that point on and trailed 24-16 at halftime.

Wilsey explained that the Wildcats were using a half-court defense without a press and when a team does that, there’s a tendency to stand around on offense. They wanted to push the ball more, but the Wildcats mainly wanted to hang on to the ball and execute at the offensive end.

The pace was slower during the first half, as the two teams combined for just 17 points in the first quarter and were whitewashed in the second until Jordan Shots put in a jumper with two and one-half minutes gone in the period, giving Vincennes a 10-9 lead.

Steinhart answered for Mount Vernon, but Luke Welfel answered Steinhart with a trey to give the lead back to Vincennes and spark an 8-0 run which put the Alices in control of the game.

Aaron Straub’s basket pulled the Cats back to within four points, but the Alices followed with six more unanswered tallies for an eight-point advantage at the intermission. Straub cut the lead to six points on a 10-footer at the outset of the third quarter, but Vincennes jumped on Mount Vernon for another eight straight to take a 32-18 lead. It was 36-26 entering the final eight minutes.

Wilsey complimented Vincennes on its ball control and rebounding, while expressing some encouragement with his team’s lack of defensive breakdowns, which had been a problem in the past.

But the Wildcats’ shooting? Not so much.

“We’re still looking for guys who are going to make shots squared up in front of the basket,” Wilsey said. “You know, 10 toes pointed towards the basket and facing the basket.

Sometimes, we panic, but I didn’t see much of that tonight.”

Wilsey feels that his team has enough players who are doing well and he thinks that they can compete and continue to get better.

But it’s part of a process and that process continues.

Steinhart quietly and effectively scored a game-high 18 points for the Wildcats, but he was the only Mount Vernon player in double figures. Jason Stemple added seven points and Straub four, while Jevin Redman chipped in three, Troy Paris two and River VanZant one. Redman and VanZant were among the underclassmen who made impressive showings Friday.

Shots got plenty of his to go down, as the junior guard put in 13 points to pace Vincennes.

Avory Mickens added 12 points.

The news wasn’t much better from the reserve game, won by Vincennes 57-39.

Redman scored 10 points to lead Mount Vernon, while Bryce Newman added nine, Collin Varner eight and Drake McNamara six. Josh Ritzert scored five points and Will Russell one.

The Wildcats will get a chance to see how they will respond in a tournament atmosphere All hands went up for this rebound during last Friday night’s home win at the Mount this week when they are playing in the Carmi Invitational Tournament.

Rappites get back on right track with win over Union-Dugger

By Steve Joos The New Harmony boys’ basketball team was working on some changes to its style of play, but between four snow-outs and a rough holiday stretch, they had a shaky start implementing it, as the Rappites dropped five of six games heading into Saturday’s contest with the visiting Union Dugger Bulldogs.

They summed to have gotten it together by then.

Four Rappites hit double figures as New Harmony outscored Union Dugger 22-14 in the first quarter, then pulled away after the intermission for a 79-65 victory.

“We made some changes in how we approach things,” coach Jim Little explained.

“And then we had all these snow-outs, so we didn’t get a chance to execute against somebody live, so we got off to a shaky start not doing some of the things I wanted done offensively, like lining up in the right place and attacking the right things. It took a little bit, but eventually we got into it.”

The Rappites didn’t start by shaking off the Bulldogs, either. Union Dugger scored the first five points of the game and held the Rappites scoreless until Levin Hoehn stole the ball and took it in with 90 seconds gone in the game. That sparked a seven-

point Rappite run in a somewhat streaky first half which ended with New Harmony out in front by eight points, 33-25.

That eight-point lead was identical to the advantage New Harmony enjoyed at the first stop. Union Dugger got a bucket from Ethan Fetting to make the score 7-2, but Hoehn drained a trey and than Andrew McDaniel put in the first two of his team-high 30 points, tying the contest at 7-7.

Union Dugger managed to get back two more times before a pair of free tosses

by Hoehn tied the score at 12-12 and ignited a 10-2 run that put the Rappites in front for good.

“My big focus point or stress point was 100 percent hustle, 100 percent of the time, as every coach does,” Little said. “These guys, at times on the year, have taken breaks and when that happens, the other team turns it up. We can’t take breaks and told them that. No tourism.”

New Harmony went back to tourist mode early in the second half and the Bulldogs responded with a 9-2 run which cut the lead to 24-23.

McDaniel snapped the Rappites out of that with a bucket, Kris Scarafia converted a three-point play and McDaniel dropped one in to close out the half, giving the

Rappites a 33-25 lead.

Scarafia poured in 15 points for the Rappites, while Hoehn added 12 and Blayne Worman 11. The senior guard downed a free throw to open the third quarter and start another New Harmony streak, with the Rappites going on a 6-1 tear to go up 39-26. Union Dugger closed to within nine points at 41-32, but the Rappites went on a 12-2 run and closed out the quarter with a 53-36 advantage.

“With two snow outs, really four snow outs, you couldn’t see how we were doing,” Little said.

“This was a good test for us. They’re a good team, they’ve been playing well, but they’re centered on one player and I can see why.”

That one player was Tyler Talpass, who scored 21 of his game-high 33 points when the Bulldogs were in desperation mode in the fourth quarter. The Rappites tried everything on him defensively, including double teams and face-guarding, but when it came to crunch time, the junior guard turned it on.

The Rappites also wanted to slow the pace and get Union Dugger’s big players in foul trouble, which was another mission accomplished, as four Bulldogs fouled out of the game.

Little had been trying to

install a system starting out the season and felt that was successful, so now they’re working on making some changes to the fundamentals of dribbling and blocking out.

“We have everything we have in place for the Sectional,” the coach said.

“Now, it’s just fine tuning and keeping our heads up.”

The Rappites had have to avoid the bad quarters, Little said, adding that the team had just one of those periods in the second quarter, but that was the only one.

Kyle Whitmore had nine points, while Clint Matthews put in one.

Feting scored 11 points and Gage Camden added

10 as the Bulldogs put three players in double figures.

The Rappites also took the reserve game, winning 38-30. Hoehn and Whitmore were busy boys in that one, as well, scoring nine and seven points, respectively Luke Allison paced New Harmony with 12 points,

while Matthews and Elliott Lange each put in three. Steven Murray and A.J. Eaton each put in two points.

One of those games New Harmony lost to the weather was Tuesday’s scheduled contest with Day School.

Lady Vikings continue to find confidence in wins

By Dave Pearce When the North Posey girls’ basketball team got off to such a slow start this season, who would have thought that a share of the Pocket Athletic Conference title could still be within reach.

But according to coach Tracy Stroud, his team has picked up their game and four games into the PAC schedule, the Lady Vikings stand at 3-1 in the conference.

The Lady Vikings picked up their third conference win on Saturday in Petersburg, taking out the Pike Central Chargers by a score of 47-36.

Prior to the Christmas break, the Lady Vikings just didn’t seem to be on the same page with each other.

But since the break, the Lady Vikings have defeated Heritage Hills, state-ranked Tecumseh, and now Pike Central to put themselves in a position to score well in the conference.

At Pike Central, Coach Tracy Stroud was particularly pleased with the play of his tea.

“That is a long trip and the girls came and got on the bus and were focused on the way and all the way throughout the contest,” Stroud said on Saturday evening. “It was a great effort and was a testament to their mental toughness.”

The Lady Vikings jumped out to a 16-8 lead after one period and never really looked back, taking a 30-16 lead into half-time.

The Vikings continued to play good sound basketball throughout the third period and held a 41-26 lead heading into the final period.

The Chargers (and perhaps the Vikings, too) learned that scoring can come from more than once or two sources as the Vikings placed three players in double figures.

Nichole Perry led the team with 16 points but Kendyl Ahrens was just slightly behind with 14 and Katelyn Esche found some confidence that she had been lacking and scored 11.

“I was glad to see Katelyn want the ball today,” Stroud said of his senior guard. “She drove to the basket today and then after she hit a couple of shots, you could see her confidence build and she wanted the ball. That’s a good sign.”

The Lady Vikings were without the services of 6-foot back-up forward Caitlinn Herrmann as she has missed the past two games suffering from strep throat. Herrmann

probably could have helped the cause even more as senior forward Lisa Garris got into foul trouble in the contest and eventually fouled out.

Besides the three players in double figures, Morgan Stierley, Garris, and Rachel Rogers finished with two points apiece.

Earlier in the week, the Lady Vikings played an excellent game but came up on the short end of the score in Princeton.

The Lady Tigers are predominantly and upperclassman team and are the only Big Eight school to find a way to defeat the Lady Golden Aces from Mount Carmel this year.

The Lady Tigers built a steady lead throughout the game and won by a 51-41 count. But Stroud was proud of his team in that contest, also.

“We have been playing some good basketball and even in the games we have lost, we have been playing much better,” Stroud explained. “Our only conference loss is to Southridge and if we can take care of Tell City, South Spencer, and Forest Park, that would put us going into the last conference game against Gibson Southern with only one conference loss.”

Stroud is obviously proud of the way his team has continued to work through adversity and a tough early part of the season. The gleam in his eye that helped the lady Vikings capture the PAC is back in his eye and the team appears to be rising to the challenge.

It certainly is not something anyone would have guessed even three weeks ago.

Wildcats prepare for Big Eight with big wins in Boonville

By Steve Joos The Big Eight Swim Meet is coming up and the Mount Vernon swim teams want to be ready for it.

They certainly looked ready for it Thursday in Boonville Mount Vernon swept its meets at Boonville, with the boys winning 142-42, wile the girls showed the Lady Pioneers why they’re state-ranked, winning 138-55.

Both teams had some strong performances in the meet, which is a tune up for this week’s conference meet, as the Lady Wet Wildcats swept first place in each of their events, while the boys took all but one race, the 100-yard freestyle.

The Lady Wet Cats were ranked 16th in the state last week, with 45 points, and Boonville found out why, while the unranked boys were also dominant.

Mary Klueh, Kasey Gerst, Reid Mobley and Jordan Wooten were each double winners. Gerst took the girls’ 100-freestyle in: 57.83 and the 200-freestyle in 2:07.91, while Klueh had the other double blue ribbon performance among the girls with wins in the 50-freestyle (:26.78) and the 500freestyle (5:45.74).

Amy Steele and Kelsey Turner had the race of the night while finishing 1-2 in the 100-breaststroke. Steele nosed out Turner by four-hundredths of a second with a win-

ning time of 1:19.54.

In the boys’ meet, Mobley won the 100butterfly with a time of: 56.53, and the 100breaststroke in 1:04.04, while Wooten won the 500-freestyle (5:19.61) and the 200freestyle (1:57.44).

The Wet Wildcat boys took the top three spots in five events, while the girls went 1-2-3 in three. Both teams swept their respective relays.

Rappites, Wildcats, from Page B1 40-19 entering the final eight minutes.

Toopes was still encouraging her team as they put up a fight even into the last minute of the game, as the Lady Rappites were fighting offensively and defensively.

“It’s hard to stay motivated when you’re down 20-25 points,” Toopes said. “But even in the last 30 seconds to a minute in the game, I know that we had three jump balls, so they were fighting hard for the ball.”

Toopes thought that the Lady Wildcats may have gotten a little sloppy with that big lead and that led to more fouls on their part in the second half. For the game, New Harmony converted six of 12 free throws, compared to four of eight for Mount Vernon.

Toopes felt that the chance to play tougher competition helped New Harmony, since it gave the team a chance to see what it was like to face a stronger team at a higher level.

Madison Worman paced the Lady Rappites with 10 points. Matthews added six, while Morris put in four and Alyssa Scher-

Vikings, from Page B1 zinger tossed in three tallies. Kelsey Owen chipped in two.

Dixon scored six points for the Lady Cats, Seifert and Bailee Schelhorn (one of the younger players who received extended playing time) each put in five points. Ellen Foster and charlotte Roberts each scored four points, while Megan Randall added two.

The Reserve Lady Cats were just as dominant in the preliminary, smacking the Lady Rappites 41-12.

Shelby Ritzert paced Mount Vernon with 15 points, while Cheyenne Strobel put in six. Brittany Wilson added five points, while Roberts, Ellen Foster and Erica Winiger each scored four. Shawana Clark scored three points.

Morris paced New Harmony with eight points, while Matthews added two. Silver Nelson and Brianna Suttles each chipped in a point.

Mount Vernon’s game with Tecumseh set for Tuesday was a victim of the weather and will be made up on Wednesday at Lynnville.

defense but the Rangers got a shot off from the top of the key and it hit nothing but net and the Rangers enjoyed a 31-18 lead at the half.

But fouls plagued both teams as five offensive fouls were called in the first half of action as both teams displayed the ability to get to the spot and draw the charge.

But had the Vikings opened the first half like they did the second, the outcome could have been very different as the Vikings opened the second half with a 3-pointer by Davenport and then an old-fashioned 3-point play by Jourdan Cox to cut the lead to 31-24.

Finally, with 1:13 remaining in the third period, a Cooper Martin put-back tied the game at 38-all and with the score 40-all and 40 seconds remaining in the period, the Rangers took a time out to hold for the last shot but were denied and the quarter ended with the score tied at 40.

To open the final period, Davenport nailed the second of two free throws to give the Vikings their only lead since 2-0 at 41-40. But from that point on, the Vikings appeared to run out of steam as their shots were mostly short. The Rangers fed off the tired Vikings and outscored the Vikings 22-6 throughout the remainder of the game to take the game and get a huge leg up in the Pocket Athletic Conference standings.

“From here on out, every game is going to be a battle for us so we are going to have to come ready to play,” Wadsworth said, looking down the schedule and seeing South Knox, South Spencer, Princeton, and Southridge in the next four outings. “We have to keep our heads up and realize that when you lose, you better learn something or take something from it. Otherwise it was a wasted experience.”

On Friday night, the Vikings had little trouble with a disciplined Tecumseh squad as they defeated the Braves 61-48.

Nick Scheller led the team with 24 points as he had four 3-point baskets and was 8-for-8 from the free throw line. Calvert finished with 12 while Davenport had nine and Martin six. Cox finished with five. Neidig and Wargel finished with two apiece and Colton Motz had a free throw.

With the split, the Vikings fall to 9-1 on the season. They will host South Knox on Friday and travel to South Spencer on Saturday.

With another year in the books and a new one already in full swing, now is a great time to look back on what the world was like 100 years ago, with some of the most notable events of 1911.

January * The Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity is founded at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. The fraternity is still around to this day, with more than 150,000 members and 700 chapters in the United States and overseas. * Aviator Eugene Burton Ely lands his aircraft on the deck of the USS Pennsylvania in San Francisco harbor. The successful landing marked the first time an aircraft landed on a ship.

February * The first official air mail flight takes place when Henri Pequet, a 23-year-old Frenchman, delivers 6,500 letters after flying from Allahabad, India to Naini, India. The historic trip took roughly 13 minutes.

March * 146 people perish in a fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City. The majority of the victims were women, and the fire remains one of the city's largest industrial disasters. * Actress Jean Harlow, later known as the "Blonde Bombshell," is born in Kansas City, Missouri.

April * Aviator Pierre Prier completes the first non-stop

flight from London to Paris in just under four hours. * The Great Fire of 1911 begins, eventually destroying much of Bangor, Maine.

By the time the fire is extinguished, damage in excess of $3 million has been done and hundreds of people are left homeless. Despite of all the damage, only two people died in the fire, one of which is a firefighter.

May * Pancho Villa launches an attack against government troops in Ciudad Juarez during the Mexican Revolution. Two days after the attack's launch, the government's troops surrender.

* Citing the Sherman Antitrust Act, Standard Oil is declared an unreasonable monopoly by the United States Supreme Court. * The first Indianapolis 500 race is run. Ray Harroun, driving the #32 Marmon "Wasp," wins.

June * George V of the United Kingdon and Mary of Teck are crowned at London's Westminster Abbey.

July * Pre-World War I tensions are escalated by the presence of the German warship Panther in the Moroccan port of Agadir.

PHS seeks additional funding The Posey Humane Society is in a state of Financial Emergency! We have had a water line break, a hot water heater go out and the cost to fix it, not including the cost of the upkeep of the shelter, food

and medical supplies for the surrendered animals and very little donations coming in. We would like to send out a plea to the Posey County Community to help us in our time of need.
