By Valerie Werkmeister The MSD of North Posey has big plans in store for North Elementary this summer. During their regular meeting held on January 14, they approved a plan presented by Tom Cullum of Veazey, Parrot and Shoulders, to advertise for construction bids to replace water lines, install new ceilings, new plumbing as well as a laundry list of several other projects. If the price is right, they will include plans for a new water softener, a new main entry vestibule and doors, repairing the front retaining walls and replacing broken concrete in areas around the school. The bid structure will also determine whether they replace the roof with asphalt shingles or will

be able to afford a metal roof. They also intend to replace all the fascia and existing soffit, since it has been in place since the school was built in 1971. Superintendent Dr. Todd Camp explained the bids will be due March 3 and they will be opened during their March meeting. They intend to hire a general contractor that will be able to begin work the day after school is out for the summer. The entire project will be completed this summer. Last week’s meeting was the first of the New Year and board members held elections for various offices. Attorney Bill Bender conducted the elections. Joe Neidig was again chosen to serve as the board president. Steve Bender will

serve as vice president; Larry Lewis is the secretary, Carol Lupfer will continue serving as the treasurer for the board and Jamie Bender continues as the deputy treasurer. New board member Geoff Gentil was chosen as the president for the board of finance and Linda O’Risky will serve as the secretary. Finally, Joe Neidig will serve as the board’s liaison for policy and legislation. The next matter of business the board decided on was their compensation for the year. They voted to retain the current salary structure at $2,000 annually and $100 per each regular meeting. They will also not receive any additional salary for attending special meetings. Each member, as well as Dr.

Camp, also signed conflict of interest statements. Camp asked the board members to review preliminary plans for next year’s school calendar. They also discussed the possibility of adding a few make-up days for snow days in December. Camp explained that it seems to be a recurring trend to have a few cancelled days in December due to weather. Camp also informed the board members about a latch-key kid survey that was sent home to all students this past week. He stated that the school is required to provide child care if there is a need within the school district. He will update the board with the results once the

Posey County’s first 2011 baby is Conyers By Valerie Werkmeister Posey County’s first baby of the New Year was born January 3, at Deaconess Women’s Hospital. Camden Wayne Conyers was welcomed home by proud big brother, three-year-old Caden Conyers. They are both sons of Chantil and Luke Conyers of Wadesville. “Caden was very excited to become a big brother and has been a very good helper,” Chantil said. Camden weighed nine pounds and seven ounces and was 20 and one-half inches long. Chantil’s due date was technically January 10. “I measured about six weeks further along than I actually was the whole time, so they really weren’t sure when I would be due,” she said. “Camden is a really good baby and sleeper. The only time he has cried is when he is hungry,” Chantil added. Proud grandparents are local and are able to appropriately spoil their grandsons, as only grandparents can do, on a regular basis. Maternal grandparents are Mike and Brenda Chanley of Wadesville. Paternal grandparents are Larry and

The International Vintage Guitar Collectors Association Arrives Tomorrow in Evansville! By Bryan Durbin STAFF WRITER

The International Vintage Guitar Collectors Association will be placing ads in newspapers, radio and running television spots this week asking people to bring in any and all guitars. Those that do bring in their guitars will be able to speak with collectors one on one and have their items looked at with an expert set of eyes. With the help of these IVGCA members, offers will be made to those that have vintage and modern guitars. Guitars made before 1970 are the most valuable. All guitars will be examined and purchased including vintage guitars, acoustic guitars, banjos, any and all other types of musical instruments. Those that decide to sell their items will be paid on the spot. If you are like a lot of people, you might have an old Vintage Guitar lying around. If you have ever wondered what it’s worth, now might be your chance to find out and even sell it, if you choose. Vintage guitars could be worth a lot according to the International Vintage Guitar Collectors Association also known as IVGCA. Collectors will pay a fortune for Vintage Guitars, Banjos, Acoustic Guitars and even Drum Sets for their collections. If they are rare enough, one could be worth over $100,000 according to David Mcintosh, Vintage Guitar Collector and IVGCA member. One 1960 Gibson Les Paul went for $100,000 to a collector in July of 2007. While that is an extreme example, many rare and valuable guitars are stashed away in attics, closets, basements, or in a garage around the country. The IVGCA and its collectors have organized a traveling event in search of all types of Vintage Guitars and Instruments. “Even common guitars can be worth a significant amount due to high collector demands,” says Mcintosh. The rarest guitars these collectors are looking for include: Martin, Gibson, Gretsch and Rickenbacker. These guitars always bring big premiums according to the IVGCA.

IVGCA says, “You never really know what you have until your item is evaluated by experts.“ Whatever kind of instrument you may have, bring it in to our experts. Think about it. You could walk away $100,000 richer!” So, whether you have one instrument you think might be valuable or a large collection you recently inherited, you can talk to these collectors for free. If you’re lucky, you may have a rarity worth thousands. Either way, there is nothing to lose and it sounds like fun.

Pork Chops with Dijon Sauce Recipe

INGREDIENTS • 1 Tbsp butter • 1 Tbsp olive oil • 4 center-cut rib or loin pork chops, boneless or bone-in (whatever you prefer), about 1 1/4 inch thick • Salt • Freshly ground black pepper • 1/4 cup chopped shallots or green onions • 1 cup dry white wine • 3/4 cup chicken stock* • 3/4 cup heavy cream • 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard • 1 Tbsp chopped parsley (optional) DIRECTIONS 1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Sprinkle salt and pepper all over them. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Stir in the butter. As soon as the butter has melted, add the pork chops to the pan and sear them, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Reduce the heat slightly if the chops brown too quickly. 2. Remove the pork chops from the pan and pour off most of the fat. Add the green onions or shallots and cook them on med high heat until softened, about 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup of the wine and bring to a boil, deglazing the pan by scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the stock and return chops to the pan. Bring sauce to a simmer, reduce heat, cover and cook until chops are cooked through (145°F internal temp), about 10 to 15 minutes. 3. Remove the pork chops to a warm platter; cover with foil to keep warm. Add the remaining half cup of wine. Increase the heat to high to boil the pan juices. Reduce the juices by half, about 3 minutes. Add the heavy cream and boil 3 minutes more, until sauce reduces and thickens, and scraping the pan with a wooden spoon leaves a trail. Remove from the heat and whisk in the mustard and parsley. If you want, add more mustard to taste. Place chops on a bed of sauce and serve. Serves 4.

During these hard economic times, the Neighbor to Neighbor program, or NTN, offered in Posey County brings hope in the midst of financial suffering. NTN provides the group support needed to help participants make better choices for personal change. Developed by Terri Lautner-Uebelhor of Evansville’s Catholic Charities, the Posey County NTN program has already held eight classes, two each year since spring 2007, with a total of 75 graduates. In November 2010, NTN celebrated the success of 15 graduates, the largest class to date. The free NTN classes meet two nights a week, Tuesday and Thursday, for seven weeks. Applications are available at the Black Township Trustees office for the ninth class scheduled to begin Tuesday, March 1, 2011. Class meetings will be held at First Presbyterian Church, 120 E. Sixth St, at the intersection of Sixth and Walnut in Mount Vernon. Instructors are Glen Kuper, Maria Nelson, Jim Bartlett, Cindy Owens, Cindy Favor and Phyllis Alspaugh. Any individual, employed or employ-

able, may apply. Interviews for participants will be held Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, February 23, 24 and 25, at First United Methodist Church, 601 Main St., in Mount Vernon. Criteria for acceptance into the program include a commitment to attend classes religiously, missing no more than two sessions in the seven-week period. A financial incentive of $400 upon successful completion of the classes helps to motivate participants. Participants also receive free childcare through the program funds. Already, NTN has put $30,000 into the community with the financial incentives awarded graduates. The program is sponsored by the Community Emergency Assistance Board and St. Vincent DePaul. In addition, Sabic provides print materials for the participants, and McKim’s IGA Manager Larry Williams donates door prizes. If you’re looking for more than a “quick fix” to your lifestyle, fill out an application for NTN at the Black Township Trustees office, or call 838-3851 for more information.

Annual Keck Gonnerman show news Illness and accidents are part of life. By: Dave Morlock Keck Gonnerman Association has had a great 2010 thanks to all the people that support us. Our 20th annual Keck Gonnerman show was held on August 6th, 7th and 8th, 2010. As expected we had good old Posey County hot weather all three days. The show is held at the Posey County Fairgrounds each year. The Keck Gonnerman saw mill was at last up and running thanks to a lot of effort by some dedicated saw dust enthusiasts. There were over 100 Quilts on display, an old time threshing style meal was served on Saturday and threshing went on each day. Several new vendors were on site with new items for sale. On display were over 200 tractors and pieces equipment to walk thru and view. Tractor pulls were held on two evenings, horse were on display along with a blacksmith shop. As 2010 ends we would like to thank those who helps us make this all happen. Our sponsors and all those who came out to visit with us and look at farming as it was 50 or 100 years ago. Here is a list of our sponsors that help us so very much, we cannot thank you enough. Posey County Fair Board, Wright Stemle, Tn County Equipment, Tn State Communications, CSB State

Bank, Crop Production Services, Vectren, Juncker Brothers Sales and Service, JL Farm Equipment, Raben Tire, Cargill Ag Horizons, McCullough Auto Parts, Mt. Vernon Auto Parts, Wiley Farms, New Harmony Health Care Center, Siebert Farms, US Farms, Hancock Farms, Roby Brothers Farm and G&B Farms. Without these people it could not continue to take place. These sponsors help with equipment, labor and financial donations. We cannot thank you enough for continuing to be a part of our show each year. So what is coming in

2011?? The saw mill and threshing machines will be running, the quilts will be back, more vendors to look through. The meal will be back on Saturday, and plans are being made for a car show on Sunday. New for 2011 will be a Toy Show, and plans are being made to get some live music at least one day. We have the good old hot weather returning for another year, so plan on coming out on August 5th, 6th and 7th, 2011 for our 21st annual show to join in on the fun and activities, see some old farm tractors and equipment cars, quilts and toys.

New Harmony storm water project clears another hurdle By Pam Robinson The Posey County Commissioners moved ahead with two important projects at their Tuesday, Jan. 18, meeting. Commissioners granted the request of New Harmony Town Councilman Joe Straw for the Town of New Harmony to annex South Road. The request came at the recommendation of Midwest Engineering, the firm commissioned under a $30,000 grant to complete the survey of New Harmony’s storm water system. Straw explained that rains flood the unused South Road, grown up with trees and brush, and run off to flood Park Street, Murphy Park and Frederick Street in New Harmony also. The Town of New Harmony plans to connect 36-inch, 48-inch and 54-inch sewer line to direct the runoff into the Wabash River. This drainage is part of a $1 million project to address the entire storm water system in New Harmony. Town officials are now working toward securing grant monies to fund the project. Later in the meeting, commissioners approved a five-year, $77,792 contract with low-bidder Midwest Telecom for the coun-

ty’s landline telephone and Internet system. The contract will generate an estimated savings of nearly $30,000. It was suggested that this savings could fund the county’s website. The digital system does not include 911 service or the Poseyville station. In other business: •Toby Stone, president of Scenic Lake subdivision, asked the county to take over the lane, approximately three-tenths of a mile, from Nation Road to Skunk Run Road. Stone said residents spent $800 every six months on gravel for the road, which is blocked and eroding at the Skunk Run end. He said residents are concerned because no safe school bus turnaround exists, because only one way in and out could hamper emergency vehicles and because the road cannot be traveled in heavy rain or snow. Stone said residents would continue to pay $800 every six months for gravel if the county took over the road. He was directed to review the specifications set forth by the Area Plan Commission on file in the auditor’s office. He was advised the county couldn’t take over the road if it didn’t meet those specifications.

•Commissioners approved moving forward with the investigation of the nuisance complaint regarding deteriorating mobile homes at Twin Lakes. •It was reported that email addresses had been developed for the county website. Commissioners approved the next step, getting pages set up for each county office at a cost of $100-$150 per page per office. •It was reported that all issues had been resolved regarding the sheriff’s contract. It was stated that the county would follow the default option under state law of providing 60 percent of the prosecuting attorney’s pay. County Attorney Adam Farrar said no action was needed. •At the recommendation of County Assessor Nancy Hoehn, commissioners made no new appointments to the Board of Review, now a three-member board. •Commissioners announced that Paul Watzlavik was reappointed to the economic development commission for the county. •It was noted that building commission collections totaled $158,023 in 2010. •The animal control report was read for December 2010: 63 complaints, 17 pick

ups, one euthanasia, four dog bites and $50 collected. The annual 2010 animal control report was read also: 659 complaints, 151 pick ups, seven euthanasia, 18 dog bites and $631 collected. •County Highway Superintendent Steve Schenk reported that the county highway department received $81,763 less than the previous year. He noted that economic development income taxes, or EDIT, are projected to be down in 2011 also. •Commissioners reminded county employees and the public of the new nonsmoking policy that went into effect Monday, Jan. 17, 2011. No smoking is permitted at the main entrances of the coliseum, the court house and the Hovey House. Smoking containers are out now at the rear of the buildings, where smoking is still permitted. •It was noted that the demolition of property at 4619 Old Plank Road will proceed since the property wasn’t brought into compliance with codes during the specified 30 days for such action. The Posey County Commissioners will meet again Tuesday, Feb. 1, 2011, at 9 a.m. in the Hovey House.

Charitable Contribution legislation allows more time to give As part of Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010, legislators passed a two-year extension of Charitable IRA legislation, making it easier for Americans to give to causes they care about. The Charitable IRA provision, first enacted in 2006, has the power to help local charities strengthen their communities at a time when it is needed most. The extension goes through 2011. Millions of Americans continue to save pre-tax dollars in individual retirement accounts (IRAs). Thanks to regular investments and long-term returns, an estimated $4.2 trillion is invested in IRAs. The new law allows taxpayers 70 ½ and older to share the wealth by giving retirement savings directly to charity—and bypassing income tax. This new law is important to local charities that continue to build community

in an uncertain economy. The tax benefit expires December 31, 2011. “It is a win-win—first, for people who would rather give to charity than pay taxes and second, to the nonprofit organizations they choose to support,” said Julie Eickhoff, Posey County Community Foundation Director. Thanks to decades of deliberate saving, some of today’s retirees have more money in their IRAs than they need for daily living expenses and long-term care. Charitable individuals and couples have expressed an interest in giving the funds to charity, but income tax must be paid on all withdrawals, which reduces the value of the gift. Others are concerned about designating their children as IRA beneficiaries, since that may draw unintended tax consequences. “For larger estates, a good portion of IRA

wealth goes to estate taxes and income taxes of beneficiaries,” Eickhoff said. “Experts estimate heirs may receive less than 50% of IRA assets that pass through estates.” A provision in the new federal law extends an option: transferring IRA assets directly to charity. By going directly to a qualified public charity such as the Posey County Community Foundation, the money is not included in the IRA owner’s income and— most important—is not taxed, preserving the full amount for charitable purposes. During 2010 and 2011 only, holders of traditional IRAs who are at least 70½ years old can make direct charitable transfers up to $100,000 per year. A single person can transfer $200,000 free from federal tax; a married couple can transfer up to $400,000 free from federal tax from separate accounts. Posey County Community Founda-

tion can help donors execute the transfers and choose from several charitable fund options for their gift. Donor Advised Funds do not qualify for tax-free IRA transfers. “This really is a limited-time offer: the window is open now, but it may close in another year,” said Eickhoff. “For anyone interested in establishing a permanent legacy in this community, this is the opportunity of a lifetime to make the gift of a lifetime.” For more information you are advised to consult with your tax professional or financial advisor. You may also contact the Posey County Community Foundation at 812.838.0288, email Julie@poseycommunityfoundation.org, visit the website at www.poseycommunityfoundation.org or stop in the office at the Old National Bank Building, 402 Main Street, Mount Vernon, Indiana.

Good news presented at Mount Vernon School Board meeting By Pam Robinson Loren Evans, director of business and technology for the Metropolitan School District, or MSD, of Mount Vernon, delivered a welcome presentation at the last Mount Vernon School Board meeting on the state of the school district’s finances. With 100 percent of the 2010 year gone on Dec. 31, 2010, only 93.56 percent of the general fund budget had been expended. Superintendent Tom Kopatich added that the school district exceeded its goal of spending only 95 percent of the general fund budget. Evans pointed out the school district still

overspent its revenue by about $250,000 in spite of the significant savings in the general fund budget, but he could report that the “great news” is 2011 will end with a balanced budget. With no loans needed from the Indiana Bond Bank because county taxes are being billed and collected on time now, taxpayers will see a decrease in their tax rate as well. Taxpayers will not need to pay the interest on such loans. Evans reported also that because the capital project fund was under spent, taxpayers will see a decrease in their tax rate there also. The board accepted the financial statement

for December 2010 and voted to file it for audit. In other business: •The board adopted the transfer of funds certificate and resolution for account transfers to balance the 2010 fund budgets. •The board accepted the resignation effective Jan. 18, 2011, from Pamela Morrison, teacher assistant in the computer lab at West Elementary. •The board confirmed the employment of Patricia Ferguson as school secretary for the guidance office and Shelley Goad as teacher assistant in the computer lab at West Elemen-

tary. It was noted that Cheryl Bell has moved from the guidance office to take the position of secretary at the high school. •The board adopted the interfund temporary transfer resolution authorizing the school district to transfer $8,000 to the pension bond debt service fund from the debt service fund. •The board appointed Beth McFadin Higgins as president and Kathy Weinzapfel as secretary of the board of finance and acknowledged receipt of the 2010 investment report. The Mount Vernon School Board will meet again Monday, Feb. 7, 2011, at 5:45 p.m. in the junior high media center.

Posey County Humane Society plans benefit rummage sale The Posey Humane Society is planning a huge rummage sale and needs community help. The Mount Vernon General Baptist Church, located at 1717 N. Main Street in Mount Vernon, has generously donated the use of their Family Life Center. The sale will be held rain or shine, on Saturday, February 19 from 7 until 11 a.m. Bake sale items will be available on site as well. PHS is accepting donations for the rummage sale at the following locations: the of-

fice of Dr. Sarah Appel, 230 W. Third Street, in Mount Vernon, during business hours Monday through Friday; the residence of Kellie Kissel on the north side of the county at 8601 Old Blairsville Road, Wadesville or by calling (859) 358-0114; or arrangements for pickup or drop-off can be made with Megan Burns in the St. Phillips area by calling (812) 499-1766 or by email at megan@ poseyhumane.org. For large items, please contact the shelter at (812) 838-3211 or the

other numbers listed. All ‘gently used’ items are welcome, however PHS is asking that clothing donations are for children only, no adult clothing. All proceeds from the sale and the bake sale will go directly to help the costs of the shelter for the care and housing of the animals, including spay/neuter costs and all other veterinary bills. We currently have 36 dogs and over 80 cats. So far, since opening in June of 2009, we have not had to eutha-

nize any animals due to how long they have been held or for space. However, we are at a critical point for space. We are completely full and cannot accept any more pets until we are able to find home for the ones we have in-house. Normal shelter hours for viewing and adopting animals are Thursday-Saturday from noon until 6 p.m. If those hours do not work into your schedule, please contact the shelter at (812) 838-3211.

Plans continue in New Harmony as council makes appointments The New Harmony Town Council braved the snow to conduct business for a new year. David Campbell was reelected president of the council. Department heads also remain the same as last year: gas, David Campbell; water, Linda Warrum; sewer, Karen Walker; police and fire, Joe Straw; parks, Linda

Warrum; cemetery, David Campbell; streets and Posey County Solid Waste Board, Don Gibbs; South Street property, river and trail, Joe Straw. Nathan Maudlin will act again this year as town attorney. In other business, council held the public hearing regarding ordinance 2011-1 for the

North Posey Relay plans made 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 24-hour 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 t-shirt 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 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 yard sale in May.

Sermon of the Week: Understanding the aftermath of a public tragedy By the Rev. Allen Rutherford of St. John’s Episcopal Church, Mount Vernon In my own way, I have been trying to come to grips with life in the aftermath of yet another national public tragedy, the mass shooting that took place in Tucson, Arizona. I’m not having trouble understanding the tragedy itself. There have been many events such as this that have taken place in our country and each event has its similarities and unique differences. From a biblical perspective, even Jesus understood the nature of violence within the DNA of humanity, only in Jesus’ day instead of firearms; it was daggers, swords, arrows, etc. My struggle is with the way the news media outlets of every kind have politicized this latest tragedy. The key word that I keep hearing used repeatedly is the word, “rhetoric”. The definition being applied to the word rhetoric in this instance can be described as, a form of communication that is sarcastic in nature and even inflammatory to the point of violence. One particular political ideology is accusing members of the other political ideology of this form of communication, this definition and use of rhetoric. The counter-debate has the accused side illustrating to the accusers how they are ignoring the fact that they too have been guilty of communicating in the same way. The danger in this debate, and my fear, is that the Tucson shooting and the propagation of the word rhetoric in the aftermath could lead to future limitations on our constitutional right to free

speech. The even bigger issue and question is who gets to decide the limits of speech and how far reaching will they be? It’s called “The Fairness Doctrine.” How much rhetoric will be used on both sides to decide what is “Fair”? It could be possible that the “fairness” criteria for deciding what is rhetorical, using the current, popular definition, could lead to an examination of the text of the Bible and its possible censoring and to Christian witness. To defend my own rhetoric written to this point (or lack thereof), I want to take a step back and reclaim the word rhetoric and its use, then apply two current relevant biblical examples of people who used rhetoric in their own day. The primary definition of the word rhetoric has to do with effective writing or speaking. It’s that simple: effective communication. I don’t see anywhere in this definition or its intended application any reason to fear the word or its usage. It is only when you go deeper into subsequent meanings that you begin to read words like, persuasion, insincerity, or grandiloquence. So, anyone who is able to effectively write or speak is someone who is using rhetoric. The innocuous word rhetoric

inherently begins to take on these other negative traits immediately upon its use. I effectively communicate my thoughts and ideas on any given subject and others have the choice to either agree or disagree with what I have said. If another person disagrees, then that begins a debate. The disagreeing person, or opponent, then counters my rhetoric with their own rhetoric. Do the two sides of the debate find common ground or a sense of truth in each other’s point, or do they reach an impasse and hold both points of view to be equal in their own eyes? Do they agree to disagree? Rhetoric, in and of itself, does not have to lead to violence. It can remain a debate, an open ended discussion. As an Episcopal priest, I am the pastor and preacher of a liturgically-based and lectionary-based denomination. My primary calendar of choice is a liturgical calendar. Each day of the year in this calendar is colored either for the season of the liturgical year or for a special holy day. As I look at the calendar sitting upon my desk, I note that the latter half of January is a sea of green numbers, which denotes days within the Season of Epiphany.

are two white days. The first is Tuesday, January 18th, which is entitled The Confession of Saint Peter the Apostle. The second white day is Tuesday, January 25th, The Conversion of Saint Paul the Apostle. As Jesus is journeying throughout the area around the Sea of Galilee rhetorically telling people about the Good News of salvation and acting upon that rhetoric by healing and offering God’s forgiven, Jesus turns to his disciples and asks them, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” Peter, with bold rhetoric, states, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Poor Peter, Heroic in speech on one occasion and Goat the next. For, it is this same Peter, who at Jesus trial in the temple court, rhetorically proclaims, “Woman, I do not know the man.” Ironically enough, it is when Peter, himself, is arrested after Jesus’ death and resurrection, provides his most eloquent rhetoric in defense of his faith in Jesus Christ as the Messiah, the Son of the living God. In the face of possible death Peter proclaims, “This Jesus is ‘the stone that was rejected by you, the builders; it has become the cornerstone.’ There is salva-

tify to the truth of God in Jesus Christ, even in the face of persecution and condemnation by others. Jesus told his disciples not to worry about what they would say when they (and us) were given the opportunity to witness and testify, because it would not be their (and our) rhetoric, but the power of the Holy Spirit providing them (and us) with the gift of rhetoric; with the word rhetoric being effective speech and writing about what is the righteous of God. Not long ago, one of our Washington D.C. leaders claimed “you don’t ever want to let a crisis go to waste.” The media has taken this statement to heart in the aftermath of the Tucson tragedy. Unfortunately, we may not see an end anytime soon to the vitriol surrounding this most recent tragedy. What I think is important, and what I hope that we can begin to do is better understand what rhetoric is and is not in the face of the current, constant use of this word for political and ideological purposes, and to also understand that God in Christ is the creator and endower of rhetoric. To what length would the “powers and principalities” of our nation go to silence the rhetoric of God?

tion in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved.” Paul is a great example of a master of two-sided rhetoric. His conversional rhetoric warranted him a name change from Saul to Paul. Paul admits that as his former self, Saul, his rhetoric was used to “violently persecute the church of God to try to destroy it.” After the conversion experience which Paul only alludes to in his letter to the Galatians, but the Book of Acts expounds upon, Paul uses his gift of rhetoric to help spread the Good News of Christ throughout a portion of the Roman Empire. Interestingly enough, while the Church has lauded Paul’s rhetoric, Paul in his humility downplays his rhetorical abilities. His letters even hint at the notion that some within the congregations he started found his speech to be quite ineloquent. The reason that the Church recognizes these two days in January as important enough to set aside as holy days is that these two special events in the life of these two extraordinary men of the Church are an example to us of how we should with boldness witness and tes-

OPINION For the Record: Toughen up... it is better to die with purpose than in paralysis With the dawn of a New Year, most of us set out determined to accomplish more than ever. Yet, if we’re honest, we admit we hold onto at least some of same dreams year after year without ever realizing them. What happens? Nothing can smother FOR THE a dream faster, I believe, than fear. Sure, some of RECORD our dreams may drift off because of laziness – like BY PAM the desire to wear a size 10 ROBINSON dress. Much to our chagrin, we discover it takes thousands of reps on the exercise bike to shed those unwanted pounds. It’s so much easier to flex our wrist and lift a fork to our mouth, especially for dessert from the Gathering. Yet, many dreams dissolve from our refusal to even plan for them. We’ll at least buy the exercise bike. But we may never sign up for a college course to improve our employment skills. We’re afraid at the very least we’ll look stupid; at the worst, we’ll be proven stupid. Fear of failure commonly keeps us stuck. We may want desperately to get out from the thumb of our boss, but the pressure he exerts is familiar. We have learned to cope. The unknown could unleash a demon, the likes of which we’ve never seen and could never handle. The Gallop Poll conducted a survey at the turn of the 21st century to find out what fears most haunt Americans. Just a cursory look at the list reveals some of us truly disqualify as risk-takers. Here are Americans’ top 10 fears presented in descending order: snakes, public speaking, heights, being

closed in a small space, spiders and insects, needles and getting shots, mice, flying on an airplane, dogs, and thunder and lightning. Americans will avoid these potential hazards at all costs. From the looks of it, these situations outrank even the fear of death. Several years back, Susan Jeffers wrote the book, “Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway.” The title says it all. Full of fear for the biggest part of my life, I’ve had to do things anyway—or I would have done nothing at all. My knees knock at even the smallest of challenges—giving a speech, taking a test, flying in an airplane. As you can see, however, I have never died from talking, from puzzling over questions, or from a bumpy flight. Both my ego and my body are still intact (even if a little bruised). Thank God, I’ve very seldom met with real danger. I’ve never run for my life ahead of a tornado or a would-be attacker. I’ve anticipated a lot of danger, but weathering the betrayal of a friend has been probably the worst hazard I’ve needed to overcome. Perhaps true courage isn’t so much the absence of fear as it is feeling the fear and refusing to back down. I can’t imagine, for example, that our military men and women laugh in the face of death, but they look it in the face. They are willing to push through their fear to fight for the greater good of humanity. We serve a greater good also every time we feel the fear and stand up to it. Otherwise, fear brings our lives to a standstill.

We may as well face death. The words of Dylan Thomas come to mind: “Do not go gentle into that good

night./Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” It is far better to die with purpose than in paralysis.

Letter to the Editor This is a reply about the transport traffic on Kimball Street. I was born and raised on a farm in Southern Posey County. I worked for Marathon Oil driving a transport and then I went to work at

MSD of Mount Vernon, where I retired. I still farm with my son, and we haul some of our grain to the Port. I have watched traffic flow into and out of the Port for quite a while. Most transports are going north on Kimball from the Port. Ninety-nine percent or more are empty, and transports of today when empty are much lighter than compared to the transports of 20 years ago. These transports do very little, if any, damage to the street. However, sometimes these transports may cause some traffic flow problems at Kimball and Fourth streets. It is easy to get into the Port from either direction off Highway 62, but getting out of the Port from the main entrance is not so easy if you need to go west through Mount Vernon to get back to the farm, or transports going to Illinois. Use the bypass to go west, and it is only half way and would bring westbound trucks back into Mount Vernon on Main Street. When transports or small pickups come out of the Port at the main entrance to

turn left, go west on 62, the median is too narrow, and transports may block traffic sometimes in both directions, which is very dangerous. Safety is very important with drivers. So it is safer to use Kimball Street, where there is a stoplight. While in Cairo, Egypt, I saw very few stop light. Stop lights can be a good thing. However, I am not a fan of stop lights, but they are needed for safety. This may be one solution: put a stop light at the entrance of the Port and Highway 62 – not my favorite – or a 400 ft. blacktop section of road could be built in the median, on the south side, next to the westbound lane. This would allow four transports to turn left and get on this new section, then continue to get into the flow of westbound traffic or wait until traffic has cleared. I hope someone else can come up with a better plan, but until then, please be patient with our truckers on Kimball Street. Some days, hundreds of trucks may go in and out of the Port east of town. C.F. Nelson, Mount Vernon, Ind.

to legally withhold paying taxes when our government does not provide services or does something stupid. Then if roads are not fixed or countries are imprudently invaded, we will simply

“fine” our governments until things are made right. By the way, I know this did not work for Joan Baez. Conclusion (mercifully) Well, Gentle Reader, you may not agree that the com-

ing of these things would be good. However, either our future is going to come or we won’t be in a position to complain. So, I continue to hope that the good guys will win.

Gavel Gamut’s “What Should Happen” The past two weeks you and I have been speculating on what the future may hold. Some of these previous predictions or none of them may occur; such is not up to us. But we do have the right to hope some things may come to pass. Hope is the operative word for this week’s prognostications. Or, perhaps, we might call these things just desserts. Television News Anchors Some day in the not too distant future television viewers will discover the means to reverse the transmission of news reports. Then for 24 hours per day for weeks at a time the news anchors will hear the same story, over and over. For, as Attorney Bill Gooden is fond of saying, “The television news media is capable of handling only one story at a time.” College Football President Obama will fulfill a campaign promise by forcing the NCAA to institute a playoff system starting in 2012. He will do this by pushing federal tax law changes which will require that all football bowl game revenues must be spent on academics if there are no playoffs. Highway Usage Eventually all four lane highways will have a system of cameras and sensors in the passing lanes which will

be able to track any driver who clogs the passing lane or drives too fast for road conditions. Once such mo-

GAVEL GAMUT BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE torists are identified, much like Sisyphus, they will be required to repeatedly go to the end of the line and never reach the checkout counter when they shop at Walmart. Weather Forecasters By the end of 2012, legislation will be enacted that makes it a crime to forecast weather by percentages. No weather person will be allowed to predict a 20% chance of rain or a 50% chance of snow. Instead, a weather forecaster will have to take a stand and say it will or will not rain out tomorrow’s baseball game. Then, if the forecaster is wrong, the public can decide to get their weather reports elsewhere. Song Lyrics In the legislative session of 2012 the Tea Party candidates will actually accomplish something of value by passing through Congress a requirement that no songs may be played on the radio unless a person with normal hearing and temperate sensibilities can understand them.

Movie Dialogue Similarly, by 2012 no movie will be allowed to be produced in which the characters mumble to themselves as though there is no audience. Kids and Grandkids Starting today, no one will ever mention anything amazingly cute their kids or grandkids have done without first asking anybody with whom they are talking about their kids or grandkids. It will remain permissible to talk about failures without such a qualification. Religion The First Amendment prohibits our government from passing laws establishing a particular religion or prohibiting the free exercise of a particular religion. This is a good thing. However, there is no legal requirement that people must loudly declare they have the only true road to salvation. The day may come when true believers have faith that the correctness of their position will speak for itself. Husbands and Wives During the next few years there will be a gradual reversal of roles in American households. Husbands will drag their wives off the couch to shop and wives will refuse to take out the garbage until the ball game is over. Taxes American taxpayers will eventually figure out how

Home Country Slim Randles You’d think winter would give Sarah McKinley a bumper crop of readers down at the Read Me Now book- HOME store. You’d COUNTRY think. BY SLIM But for RANDLES some reason, she finds the need each winter to have some crazy promotion to peddle books. Last year it was celebrating President James Monroe’s wedding anniversary (120 years now, and they said it wouldn’t last!) We’ve come to speculate (our number one indoor sport around here) on what her promotion would be this winter. Right after that cold snap we found out. On a big banner taped up in the front window, we saw: “Help Celebrate Orf Day! Come in and see the specials.” After two days of fruitless speculation, we agreed to once again send Doc into the breech. “Orf Day, huh?” Doc said, cruising nonchalantly past the section called “Love and Other Fiction.” “I figured it was about time we celebrated Orf, Doc.

He just never gets the kind of respect and recognition he deserves.” Doc raised an eyebrow. “Hockey p l a y e r, wasn’t he?” “That was Orr. No, he came along a long time before Bobby.” “Oh yeah,” Doc said, nodding, “the composer. I’ve heard his stuff. Carmina Burana, right?” “That was Carl Orff with two f’s,” she said, smirking a little bit, “Orf was ‘way before Carl.” “I guess I’m not familiar with Orf, then, Sarah.” “Granddaddy of them all, Doc,” she said. “Orf was the first reader.” “One of those cave guys?”

“Near as we can figure,” she said, with a straight face. “You know, we don’t have a lot of written history of those times.” “So what did Orf read?” “Before written words, there were cave drawings, of course, but they lacked a lot in the communication line, so that’s when the first writer tried language.” “And the first writer was?” “Urglia,” Sarah said. “Orf’s wife. Near as we can figure, the first writing was a note to Orf telling him to take out the cave detritus, making him an official midden manager.” “Well ain’t progress wonderful,” Doc said, grinning.

Mount Vernon Wildcats take Carmi Invitational title

Pictured above are five of the six players named to the 2011 All-Carmi-White County Invitational team: (left to right) Fairfield junior Tyler Hutcheson, Harrisburg sophomore Capel Henshaw, East Richland junior Brook Pampe, Mount Vernon, Ind. senior Jacob Steinhart and East Richland junior (and tourney MVP) Michael Fehrenbacher.

Mount Vernon’s Jacob Steinhart goes about the group to bury one of his many points during a recent Wildcat win. The Wildcats are champions of the Carmi Invitational Tournament. Photo by Dave Koch By Steve Joos edge about it last week in Carmi, going 4-1 Mount Vernon boys’ basketball Coach for the tourney. Mount Vernon went into the Gary Wilsey thought that playing the kind of CIT with a 3-7 record and came out with a schedule the Wildcats play is helpful when 7-8 mark heading into Friday’s game at Gibthey compete in the Carmi Invitational Tour- son Southern. nament.

In the middle, Mount Vernon lost to Olney 55-52 Tuesday night, mainly because they couldn’t contain the Tigers’ Brook Pampe in the first quarter and then held off Fairfield 5955 Friday. The Cats took an early lead against the Harrisburg Bulldogs in Saturday’s opener, which was made necessary after inclement weather moved the tourney schedule back a day. Mount Vernon led 20-17 after the first quarter, but Harrisburg took control late in the second chapter and held a 38-34 edge at the break. They stretched it to 54-49 after three quarters and were still up by five when Mount Vernon staged its big comeback. Once again, the Cats had plenty of offensive balance and once again, Jacob Steinhart led the way. The senior forward scored 24 points to share game-high honors with Harrisburg’s Capel Henshaw, but Straub also stepped up to the tune of 16 tallies. Brian Koch added 10 to give Mount Vernon three players in double figures. Troy Paris added six points, while Jason Stemple and River VanZant each chipped in five. Austin Goebel and Sam Johnson both put in two tallies. Koch cleared five rebounds against Harrisburg, while Steinhart pulled down four. Straub, Stemple and Paris each cleared three boards and VanZant pulled down two. Stemple and Steinhart each dished out five assists. Harrisburg also put three players in double figures. In addition to Henshaw, Tyler Smithpeters scored 16 points and Ryan Roper put in 10. As for the night game, it wasn’t much of a contest, as the Cats took a 24-14 lead after the first quarter and then went on a 22-7 rampage in the second period for a 46-21 bulge at the break. They led 65-34 heading into the final eight minutes. Steinhart capped an all-tourney team performance with a game-high 19 points. Straub added 17 and Koch 10 to give Mount Vernon

three players in double figures. Paris wasn’t too far behind with nine points, while Tyler Ritzert came off the bench to drop in seven tallies. VanZant put in five points, while Goebel and Henshaw each contributed three tallies. Stemple, Johnson and Craig Dick each scored two points. Shawn Bumpus paced the Golden Aces with 14 points. The Wildcats started a marathon session Friday night by scoring the last eight points of the game to pull out a 59-55 victory over Fairfield. “For as crazy as we played at times, the thing that I’m the most proud of is that we were able to find a way to win the game,” Wilsey said. “That’s not something that we’ve not had a history of at Mount Vernon, but who knows? I’m hoping it’s a turning point there.” Friday’s game was a seesaw contest, with Mount Vernon scoring the first seven points of the game, then Fairfield hanging around until the Mules went up by four points late in the game. That early seven-point bulge seemed to be holding up despite all the craziness when the Cats enjoyed a 40-33 advantage on a threepointer by Johnson midway through the third quarter, but Fairfield went on an 11-2 run to close out the period, taking a 44-42 lead at the break on a three-pointer by Derrick Huston. Steinhart tied the game with two of his game-27 tallies at the outset of the fourth chapter, but the Mules were able to take charge briefly and led 55-51 when Zane Mcmeen rolled in a shot with just over a minute to go. That’s when Mount Vernon started looking for ways to pull out the win and found them. Steinhart started the rally by draining his fifth three-pointer of the night, cutting the

North Posey handles business at Reo By Steve Joos The North Posey boys’ basketball team had a tough Pocket Athletic Conference loss in their recently showdown with Forest Park and were looking to get back on track. They had to wait a little bit for that chance, but when the Vikings got it, they definitely took advantage of it. “We just spent the whole week of practice working on getting better ourselves,” North Posey Coach Matt Wadsworth said. Dillon Davenport scored 16 points Saturday night as North Posey outscored the South Spencer Rebels 26-10 in the third quarter and stormed away for a 63-36 rout at Rockport. Davenport seven of nine shots from the field while the team shot 25 of 42 for the game. “I felt that it was important that we get some touches inside early in the game and we were able to do that,” Wadsworth said. “I think that help set the tone of the game for us.” The Vikings got back on track against a PAC foe, no less, that had taken unbeaten and top-ranked Forest Park to the wire at Ferdinand before falling 54-51 just two weekends ago. “South Spencer is one of those dangerous teams that people tend to overlook,” Wadsworth said. Jourdan Cox added 11 tallies and Cooper Martin 10 as North Posey opened the second half on a rampage which turned a 25-21 halftime lead into a 51-31 gap after three quarters. The Vikings led 15-11 at the first stop. “This was a true test for our team and how we would respond,” Wadsworth said. “I was very pleased with what we were able to accomplished.” Martin and Nick Scheller each connected twice from

three-point range as the Vikings downed six treys Saturday. Scheller finished with nine points, while Cameron Calvert put in eight and Eric Wargel six. Wes Harness added two points and Colton Motz one. “This was the first time all season that Eric Wargel has used his height to its full advantage,” Wadsworth said of the 6-foot-6 lanky senior. “He did an excellent job and set some great screens besides scoring on a jump shot and then two tip-ins.” Jared Lauer paced the Rebels with 13 points. Cameron Calvert finished with five rebounds while Wargel, Cox, and Nick Neidig each had four rebounds. Scheller, Martin, and Motz had two rebounds apiece. Davenport finished with four assists, two steals and only one turnover while Scheller had a pair of assists and a pair of steals. Calvert finished with two assists and a steal. The Vikings, as a team, finished with 6-of-13 shooting from beyond the arc and 19-of-29 from 2-point range. The team hit seven of 12 free throws. North Posey’s home game with South Knox Friday was called off until this Friday (Jan. 28) due to the weather. The Vikings will take a 10-1 record into that game. On Saturday night, the Vikings will play host to a very powerful and talented Princeton squad. The Tigers still have a couple players remaining on the team from the undefeated state championship squad from two years ago. But North Posey Coach Matt Wadsworth is focused on only one team, and that is the team he coaches. Cameron Calvert, along with his inerior teammates “We can’t control other teams and what they do but there is one thing we can do and that is work hard every day to got touches early against a good South Spencer team become a better team,” Wadsworth said. “That’s the thing over the weekend. The strategy paid off with a 63-36 win for the Vikings, moving them to 10-1 on the year. I’m concerned most about...us getting better.

school. I just gave one on Internet safety and ID theft.” He says the greatest reward of working with the youth is their phone calls. “They trust me enough to call me up for advice,” he says. Rescue work, whether involving people or animals, seems to come naturally to Champlin. He tamed the town mascot, Murphy the Wonder Dog, after a nine-month wait to catch him. Murphy has his own website now — www.squiddo.com/murphythewonderdog — and he is learning to share his master with another foster dog. Champlin says his additional volunteering is of the “hit and run” variety, where he donates a couple of hours’ time to various community organizations. One constant is, however, his organization and operation of New Harmony’s golf-cart drivein a few times a year. Champlin loves old movies and enjoys projecting them on the side of the Atheneum at no cost to the town’s residents. Old movies are just one of many interests Champlin cultivates. He enjoys gardening, sculpting and painting, camping and canoeing. He tends about 30 chickens in a coop he made from wine bottles and is expecting another 20 chickens to arrive any day. His dad, known to the community as Sandy, and his mom Pat traveled widely in the U.S. with his dad’s construction work until they settled in Mount Vernon.

Lady Vikings pound Tell City as team begins to take shape By Steve Joos The North Posey girls’ basketball team wanted to get an early lead on Tell City in Saturday’s game. Did they ever do that. The Lady Vikings scored the first 18 points of the game and outscored the visiting Lady Marksmen 20-2 after one quarter of play enroute to a 56-25 pounding of visiting Tell City. Nichole Perry pumped in 21 points as the Lady Vikings stormed out to the early lead and never looked back, just as coach Tracy Stroud had hoped. “I thought it was important for us to come and get out to a great start,” Stroud said. “And we did that. We came out and scored 18 before they had to score. We had an enthusiastic start and we took it to them early. Never once did (Tell City) think they had a chance in this game.” Tell City would have needed a lot to come back after the first quarter Saturday. Lisa Garris drew first blood for the Lady Vikings by knocking down a turnaround jumper for the game’s first points. Perry added an 18-footer, then took it in off two straight steals to make the score 8-0. The bombardment continued until Lacey Briggs finally put Tell City on the scoreboard with 15.3 seconds left on the clock, sticking a missed shot back in. Perry answered with a pair of free throws to end a quarter that seemed to have been played mostly under Tell City’s basket. “Mentally, we were ready to come out and play,” Stroud said. “It was a Saturday and you never know how they’re

going to play with all these snow days how they’re going to play and they come out and had a great start. That was important for us.” After that start, the Lady Vikings worked their zone defense to hold down Tell City. With the exception of times when North Posey had to use a man-to-man, the team played well, stretching the lead to 35-10 at halftime and 46-17 after three quarters. Stroud was pleased with Perry’s efforts in both shooting the ball and distributing it. “I don’t know how many assists (Perry) had,” the coach said. “She came mentally ready to play, just like the rest of the team.” Perry’s supporting cast didn’t include anyone else in double figures, but it did a number of girls who scored points. Katelyn Esche, Kendyl Ahrens and Caitlin Herrmann each scored seven points, while Garris chipped in four and Haley Harness three. Hannah Harness and Rachel Rodgers scored two points each. Biggs paced the Lady Marksmen with nine points. The Lady Vikings also dominated the preliminary, winning the reserve game 30-14. Amy Brandenstein led the reserves with eight points, while Rodgers and Haley Harness each added six. Brianna Perry and Emma Werry scored four points each, while Hannah Harness added two. The Lady Vikings’ game at Reitz set for Thursday was postponed due to the weather. It will be made up on Saturday, Feb. 5.

Junior High Lady Vikings have rough week The North Posey Junior High girls basketball seventh and eighth grade teams found the going a little tough this week. The seventh grade Lady Vikings were able to pull out a 27-14 win over Boonville on the strength of nine points from Kayla Sanford. Celeste Hill added six points while Abbi Voegel and Jenny Scheller added four points apiece. Against Haubstadt later in the week, the seventh graders

fell 37-16. Hill led the way for North Posey with six points. In eighth grade action, Maddie Koester finished with 11 points while Rachel Ungethiem had six and Taylor Franklin added four as the eighth graders fell to Boonville 42-21. Against Haubstadt, the Lady Vikings fell 45-16 as Taylor Franklin had six points and Brooke Bender added four

Laddy Rappites improve, settle for split By Steve Joos The New Harmony girls’ basketball team showed great improvement heading into Saturday’s game at Shoals after splitting a pair of recent road games. First, the Lady Rappites traveled to Cannelton, which had smacked New Harmony 53-30 in the season opener. The Lady Bulldogs also prevailed in the recent rematch, but this time by just five points 51-46. “I have told the girls all season that we are young and we are improving,” coach Jennifer Toopes said. “I think this was an eye opener for them.” Sarah Powers torched New Harmony to the tune of 20 points in the opener.

This time, the Lady Rappites focused on the Cannelton junior and limited her to 10 tallies, as New Harmony contained her with a box and one with Alyssa Scherzinger covering. Powers only managed three points in the first half. Kendall Morris paced the team with 16 points, while Kelsey Owen added 14 and Morgan Matthews 10. Both Owen and Matthews registered double-doubles with 16 and 10 rebounds respectively. Madison Worman added five points, along with four assists and three steals, while Brianna Suttles added a point. Morris pulled down four caroms, while Scherzinger grabbed three boards to go with two assists. New

Harmony connected on 15 of 21 free throws. The Lady Rappites built on that improvement the next day and made another long road trip worthwhile by surprising Lanesville 5951. Morris poured in 20 points and Owen 15 for the Lady Rappites, who once again put four in double figures. Worman added 11 tallies and Matthews 10, while Scherzinger chipped in three points. Morris was all over the court at Lanesville, with six steals, five assists and three rebounds to go along with a 13 of 20 day at the free throw line (New Harmony converted 23 of 38 charity tosses). Owen cleared nine boards and pulled off three

steals while having her personal high game for the season. Matthews cleared eight rebounds, while Worman had five steals, three boards and three assists. The reserve game also went to New Harmony 2721. Scherzinger, Matthews and Worman each scored five points to pace the reserves, while Morris and Holly Walden each put in four. Owen and Scherzinger scored two points each. Not all of the news out of Lanesville was good, however. Walden played three quarters in the reserve game before suffering a knee injury and could be out for the rest of the season. Thursday’s home game with Tecumseh was called off due to the weather.

Fear strikes Rappites By Steve Joos “When we decide to play as a team, we look good. When we play a team that is better than us, we panic and play ‘I’ ball, or ‘me-me’ ball.” That was New Harmony boys’ basketball coach Jim Little’s lament after the Rappites ran into Wood Memorial Saturday night. Two players in double figures and seven three-pointers weren’t enough to keep the Trojans from taking an early lead and then gradually pulling away from the visiting Rappites. When the smoke cleared in Oakland City, Wood Memorial had a 93-61 victory. In a situation reminiscent of New Harmony’s earlier losses to Day School and Galatia, Little said that the team seemed to go into what he called a panic mode and got away from the team concept against the Trojans. Andrew McDaniel scored 24 points and cleared 11 rebounds for New Harmony, while Blayne Worman drained five of the team’s three-point-

ers enroute to 22 tallies, but they didn’t have that much support, as Kris Scarafia put in seven points and Levi Hoehn two. Elliott Lange and Clint Mathews each put in three points. The Rappites might have panicked in the face of Nick Powers’ game-high 32 points on the evening. The Wood Memorial senior also had plenty of back-up, as Kenan Bozarth added 19 points and Hunter Ewen put in 12. Six other Wood Memorial players also scored. New Harmony trailed by six points after the first quarter 16-10 as the Trojans took their time in blowing the game open, but they did with a 29-15 rampage in the second quarter. It was 45-25 at halftime and 69-39 after three quarters. Little felt that the team might have to be better conditioned in order to “clear out the fog in our heads” as he put it. That might just keep the Rappites’ hands off the panic button when the going gets tough.

Lady Wildcats hit hit rough spots in the road, will regroup By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon girls’ basketball team had been on a roll earlier this week, but then the Lady Wildcats ran into some roadblocks late last week. After dominating performances in their two previous games, the Lady Wildcats dropped a key Big Eight Conference game at Jasper Saturday, 58-52, after hitting a wall Wednesday in Lynnville. The Tecumseh Lady Braves outscored Mount Vernon 18-11 in the fourth quarter en route to a 45-40 make up game victory. It was a back-and-forth contest, the kind that the Lady Cats will be facing in the future and that Coach Steve Mitchell says the team still had to learn. “We need to learn how to play in a close ball game,” Mitchell said. “Some of these close ball games, we’ve got to find a way to win. We’ve got to learn to hit the clutch shots when we need to, we’ve got to learn how to hit free throws and we’ve got to learn to come up with big stops and we didn’t do any of those things tonight.” After rolling over Reitz and Heritage Hills, the Lady Cats ran into a Tecumseh squad which just wouldn’t go away and came up with some big plays of their own in a game where both baskets seemed to have lids on them at times. Mount Vernon trailed 2018 at halftime and held the Lady Braves scoreless for the first 90 seconds of the third quarter—long enough for Jacey Ritzert to tie the game with a 12-foot jumperbut that was all Mount Vernon got in that period. They appeared to have control of the contest when Ritzert erased a 26-25 Tecumseh edge with a rebound bucket later in the third quarter, followed by a free throw and a bucket by Megan Randall, which opened a 29-25 lead for the Lady Wildcats with a minute to go in the period. But Auriel Trible put back a rebound for Tecumseh as the period expired, cutting the lead to two points, 29-27, after three periods. The Lady

Braves opened the final chapter with four more unanswered points before Carynn Koch tied the game at 31-31 with a turnaround jumper. Sara Sexton-Lyle drained a three-pointer to put Tecumseh back in front, but Jade Dixon answered for the Lady Wildcats. Tecumseh struck again from three-point land, this time with Brittney Harris doing the dirty work. Ritzert scored to pull Mount Vernon back within a point, the lady Cats got a defensive stop, but couldn’t convert on their end of the court. From there, Tecumseh put in six unanswered points to go up 43-36 and Mount Vernon never responded. Ritzert paced the Lady Wildcats with 16 points, but many of the team’s other key offensive threats struggled, although Randall scored eight points and Dixon put in seven. Carynn Koch was limited to four tallies, Jenny Koch three and Amy Seifert two. Free throws were a major problem, as the Lady Cats converted just nine of 17 charity tosses. While the game started out slowly, the Lady Wildcats still showed some of their control from wins over Reitz and Heritage Hills in the opening minutes, scoring the first four points of the contest and led 7-2 after Dixon tossed in a shot with 3:48 to go in the first quarter, but an 18-footer by Hailey Menke sparked a 6-0 Tecumseh run which put the Lady Braves in front 8-7 at the first stop. Two Sifter free tosses 13 seconds into the second chapter snapped a 4:01 scoring draught for the Lady Wildcats and gave them a short-lived 9-8 advantage, but Tecumseh scored four unanswered points for a 12-9 lead, which Seifert erased with a three-ball of her own. The back-and-forth continued until consecutive threepointers gave Tecumseh a 20-14 advantage with 3:04 to go before halftime. Mount Vernon came right back, as Jenny Koch took a steal all the way and Dixon downed two free throws to make it a two-point game at halftime. Menke and Hailey Sha-

wana each scored 10 points to lead the Lady Braves. Mount Vernon’s reserves had an easier time, beating Tecumseh 41-25 in the preliminary. Ritzert (Shelby Ritzert, that is) scored 10 points as Mount Vernon mounted a balanced attack to get the win. Bailee Schelhorn added eight points, and Brittany Wilson seven. Ellen Foster and Erica Winiger each chipped in five points, Rachel Cash four and Charlotte Roberts two. On Tuesday, Mount Vernon took control early—and how. The Lady Wildcats scored the first 10 points of the game and held the visiting Reitz Lady Panthers to a single field goal en route to a dominating 70-52 victory that wasn’t as close as the score indicated. “We got off to a good start, off to a good half,” Mitchell said. “That’s what we wanted to do, was talked about that with the girls. We wanted to come out, take charge and set the tone. We wanted to set the attitude for how the game was going to be played and I think we did that.” Rebounding, defending the three-point line and getting points off the defense were keys to the game, Mitchell said, and he felt the Lady Cats did that, especially in the first quarter, when they bolted away from Reitz by taking a 24-3 lead. Lauren Stemple scored off a steal to start the scoring for Mount Vernon, then Carynn Koch followed with a turnaround jumper to give the Lady Wildcats a 4-0. Six straight free throws came after that as Mount Vernon stretched the lead to 10-0 before Sarah Fox hit the first of her four three-pointers to put Reitz on the scoreboard. The Lady Cats responded by reeling off 14 more unanswered points, closing out the quarter with a 24-3 lead and more or less deciding the game right there. The Lady Wildcat reserves played most of the fourth quarter as Reitz was able to make things a little more respectable in the final

chapter. Other than a free throw, all of the Evansville school’s first-half point production came from beyond the arc, including two quick ones to open the second quarter. Mount Vernon ’s answer? A 16-0 run that blew open a 40-9 bulge with under a minute to go. Reitz scored a few more points as Mount Vernon led 42-13 at halftime. It was 52-26 after three quarters as Mitchell started working his reserves into the lineup. The Lady Panthers stuck in nine three-pointers on the evening, but Mount Vernon overcame that lopsided advantage (the Lady Cats were shut out from three-point land) by outscoring Reitz 56-20 from inside. Ritzert scored a game-high 20 points and her teammates showed enough balance offensively to overcome three Lady Panthers in double figures (Fox with 14, as well as 10 tallies each from Paige Rust and Abbi Fahse). “Jacey knows how to position herself and she receives passes from Carynn Koch pretty well too,” Mitchell said. “Carynn does a nice job of feeding the post. Jacey posts up and Carynn finds her. Amy (Seifert) does a nice job too. We’re a tough team to defend because we have four or five people who can lead us in scoring.” Randall added nine points and Seifert eight for Mount Vernon, while Stemple, Carynn Koch and two of the

reserves who finished up for the Lady Cats, Roberts and Wilson, each put in six. Dixon and Jenny Koch each put in four points, while Bailee Schelhorn knocked down a free throw. The reserve Lady Cats rolled to a 37-16 rout in the preliminary, as another Ritzert (Shelby) burned Reitz for 13 points. Foster added seven points, while Shawna Clack added four. Wilson, Schelhorn, Shelby Ritzert and Cheyenne Strobel each put in three points, while Roberts and Cash each added two. The Lady Wildcats jumped out to a big lead and never looked back as they crushed Heritage Hills 62-28 recently at Lincoln City. “This was one of our best efforts of the season, both offensively and defensively,” Mitchell said. “We took control of the game early with our press and we were able to get into their passing lanes and get a number of steals.” Mount Vernon blew out to a 17-3 lead after the first

quarter and was unstoppable from there, leading 37-9 at halftime and 47-19 after three quarters. Offensively, the Lady Cats seemed to have better luck rolling six or 11, as Ritzert and Randall each put in 11 points to lead the team, while five other players (Dixon, Carynn Koch, Jenny Koch, Seifert and Roberts) each put in six. Mitchell was also very pleased with the Lady Cats’ offensive balance, adding that the team’s attack is centered on having as many players score as possible. Mitchell hoped the win would keep Mount Vernon ’s momentum going, towards contention for a share of the Big Eight Conference title and the Sectional crown. Natalie Biever led the Lady Patriots with nine points. Stemple and Foster each scored three points, while Wilson and Schelhorn each chipped in two. Mount Vernon also took the reserve game 30-19.

Smith plays well for Graceland By Steve Joos The week started out pretty well for former Mount Vernon basketball standout Jake Smith, but it didn’t end very well, even though he remains a consistent scoring threat for the Graceland University Yellowjackets. Smith scored 18 points and cleared nine rebounds Saturday, but the Jackets suffered an 80-68 homecourt loss to Baker University, capping a week where the Lamoni, Iowa, school started well, with two conference wins, but didn’t finish that way on a pair of losses. Smith had another good night on Thursday as the Yellowjackets rallied in the second half, but came up short against Missouri Valley, losing 61-55 at Marshall.

Smith scored 16 points and grabbed nine rebounds for Graceland, while handing out two assists and blocking a pair of shots, but it wasn’t enough as Graceland struggled from beyond the three-point arc. Smith scored 23 points and cleared 11 caroms earlier in the week, and this time the Jackets won, beating Benedictine 73-56 at home. Smith also had an assist and blocked a shot as Graceland temporarily evened its Heart of America Athletic Conference record at 4-4. The Jackets are now 4-6 in the HAAC and 9-11 overall. They host William Jewell Thursday and travel to Springfield, Mo., to face Evangel College on Saturday.

Fairfield edge to a point at 55-54 with 43.8 ticks left on the clock. Six seconds later, the senior forward hit a turnaround jumper for the go-ahead points and drew a foul. He completed the trifecta and put the Cats up 57-55. The Mules tried to come down and get off a game-tying basket, but that shot missed, and Brian Koch was in position to get the rebound, as well as another foul. The sophomore center knocked down both charity tosses to make the final score 59-55. Wilsey thought that his team was stagnant offensively and defensively up until the last minute of the game. After jumping out to a 7-0 lead in the first quarter, the Wildcats had trouble holding off the Mules as Fairfield came back first with a five-point run and then with another seven unanswered points after Mount Vernon had built a 13-4 bulge in the opening chapter. It was 18-16 after the first quarter and 31-28 at halftime after Fairfield opened the second quarter with five straight points and Mount Vernon once again stepped up. Steinhart once again did a lot of stepping up, grabbing seven rebounds and handing out three assists in addition to his game-high 27 points. “I probably don’t brag on Jacob enough,” Wilsey said. “He’s just constantly been huge for us.” Wilsey set things up so Koch would have the ball when Fairfield was forced to foul late in the game, the coach said. He finished with 12 points, two rebounds and two assists. Johnson added seven points and VanZant five, while Stemple, Goebel, Paris and Straub each put in two. Stemple paced the team with six assists, while six different Cats had one steal. Wilsey didn’t think his team played with the intensity that they showed against Olney and complimented the Mules for playing hard. Tyler Hutcheson aced the Mules with 16 points, while Andrew Attebury put in 11. The Cats were to have played Fairfield on Thursday night, but rough winter weather Thursday caused some disruptions in the tournament schedule at Carmi, forcing everyone into a more hectic schedule which included three games in approximately 24 hours. The three-point line made the Cats in the tourney opener, but it may have broken them Tuesday night, as they dropped a 55-52 decision to Olney. The Tigers connected on seven of 17 tries while holding Mount Vernon to just three of five from beyond the arc. Throw in an 18-11 gap at the charity stripe and one may have a few of the factors which made the difference as the Tigers made a 17-14 first quarter advantage hold up for the entire game. Olney led 28-24 at halftime, but Mount Vernon trimmed the deficit back to a point after three quarters 38-37. That would be as close as they would get. Steinhart scored 23 points and pulled off six steals to go with his three rebounds and two assists. The senior took all but one of the team’s three-point tries and connected on three of them. Despite those heroics, Steinhart and the rest of the team couldn’t cash in on a situation similar to one late in last year’s quadruple overtime win over the Tigers. He intentionally missed the second of two free throws after pulling the Cats to within two points at 54-52 with six seconds to go, got the rebound, but missed, unlike last season when a similar play resulted in a game-tying basket. Olney’s Joel Eagleson got the carom and drew a foul with 5.4 ticks left on the clock. Eagleson made the first free throw, missed the second and the Wildcats got the rebound, but Mount Vernon’s last attempts at a three-point shot were unsuccessful. Koch had his best night of the season offensively, dropping in 16 points, while clearing seven rebounds and handing out three assists. Straub scored six points and Goebel three, while Johnson and VanZant each had two. Straub also cleared five boards. Stemple led the Cats with four assists. Brook Pampe paced Olney with a game-high 25 points, while Michael Fehrenbacher added 11.

trimmed the deficit back to a point after three quarters 38-37. That would be as close as they would get. Steinhart scored 23 points and pulled off six steals to go with his three rebounds and two assists. The senior took all but one of the team’s three-point tries and connected on three of them.

Straub scored six points and Goebel three, while Johnson and VanZant each had two. Straub also cleared five boards. Stemple led the Cats with four assists. Pampe paced Olney with a game-high 25 points, while Michael Fehrenbacher added 11. The Wildcats jumped out to an early lead and were only challenged slightly after that, rolling over the host Bulldogs 69-46, in the first game of the tourney. Johnson scored 20 points and Steinhart 17 as Mount Vernon scored the first six points of the game and answered a number of Carmi comeback bids with big runs of their own. “I’m a little speechless on that,” Wilsey said about the big lead. ‘That doesn’t happen very often. We came out focused and we seem to have a pretty good attitude with the Carmi tournament. I like the group of kids we have right now.” Wilsey added that this year’s team supported each other got along. That helped as the Cats opened a 13-4 lead in the first quarter, watched it drop to 13-7 at the break and then pulled away after the Bulldogs missed an opportunity to cut into the lead further. After Carmi failed to capitalize on a chance to close to within four points early in the second chapter, Steinhart buried a three-pointer and Stemple followed with a breakaway jumper to give the Cats a 22-11 advantage. It was 29-17 at halftime. The Cats poured it on some more in the third quarter, outscoring the Bulldogs 23-9 to take a 52-26 bulge into the final eight minutes. Carmi would cut the lead to 10 in the third quarter and tried to make things interesting by draining a pair of three-pointers at the outset of the fourth period, but each time the Cats went on a roll of their own. And the Cats got a lot of those points from beyond the three-point arc. Mount Vernon put in an astonishing eight of 12 three-point baskets on the night. “The good thing is that the ones we shot were going in,” Wilsey said. “And usually we seemed to be on the receiving end of that. What I liked is not that we shot threes, but they seemed to be wide-open threes. It wasn’t like they were forced ones. The nice thing is that we let the shots come to us.” Wilsey cited the team’s improved coherence as a major read for its success defensively. The coach was also pleased with the efforts of Johnson and Steinhart, while Goebel gave the team a nice spark in his first game back from an injury, scoring 10 points. Koch gave another solid effort, while VanZant gave the team a bounce. Stemple and Koch each put in six points, while VanZant added four and Henshaw three, Dick two and Paris one. Steinhart also cleared a team-high eight rebounds, while Johnson cleared four, VanZant three and Stemple two. Stemple dished out six assists and Koch four. Steinhart and Paris each had three assists, while Johnson and VanZant each had two. Johnson and Steinhart each pulled off two steals. Josh Capps paced Carmi with 16 points, while Lawson Warren added 15.

MVJH Bobcats move to 9-5 The Mount Vernon Junior High eighth grade boys basketball team went 3-1 last week to improve to 9-5 on the season. On Jan. 13, the Bobcats defeated Carmi by a score of 43-41, with the game going into overtime. The Bobcats were led by J.T. Doerflein with 15 points while Austin Krizan had five assists and six steals. Jacob Norman had 12 big rebounds. The next evening, the Bobcats handled Helfrich Park with relative ease by a score of 31-33. Noah Roberts led the team with 14 points, four assistans and three steals while Krizan had four assists and three steals, Brandon Merrick and Jacob

Norman had four rebounds apiece in the win. The Bobcats had a little rougher time last week against Corpus Christi as the Bobcats fell 56-37. Krizan had nine points and six assists while Norman and Hunter Brooks had five rebounds and two steals. Doerflein and Cody Mobley had two steals apiece. In another overtime thriller late in the week, Helfrich Park almost came away with the upset but the Bobcats held on for a 38-36 overtime win. Levi Duckworth led the team with 12 points and nine rebounds while Mitchell Jackson had four assists and Ty Hurley had three steals.

Vikings claim two PAC champs By Steve Joos There was something for the North Posey Vikings to cheer about at Saturday’s Pocket Athletic Conference wrestling meet, they just wasn’t enough of it. North Poser’s Tyler Stock and Austin Little won their respective weight classes, but that was about all the Vikings had to cheer about as they finished sixth in the meet with 102 points. Bleu ribbons went to North Posey at both ends of the scale as 103-pounder Stick pinned Gibson Southern’s Hayden Baehl in 3:10 to claim the lightweight title. Heavyweight Austin Little decisioned Pike Central’s Dalton Miller 9-5 to give North Posey its other championship. Three other Vikings reached the semifinals, but each had to settle for fourth place in their respective weight classes. Seth Elderkin (140) lost a 4-3 nail-biter to Dylon Vincent

of Heritage Hills, while Gary Martin (152) dropped a 6-3 decision to another Patriot, Gabe Konnerding, and Chris O’Risky fell to Angus Stetter of Southridge 6-0 in the 160pound consolation match. The Vikings really didn’t have anywhere to go as far as the team standings were concerned, as they faced a double-digit gap with fifth-place Forest Park (114 and one-half), but were comfortably ahead of seventh-place Tell City (86). Rounding out the field was Tecumseh (60). Gibson Southern scored 218 and one half points to win the PAC title, with Heritage Hills in second place with 206, and Southridge third with 200. South Spencer was a distant fourth with 123 points, followed by Pike Central (119). North Posey’s Tyler Stock puts the hurt on his Southridge opponent. Stock was one Thursday’s rough winter weather forced the cancellation of the Vikings’ dual meet at of two North Posey wrestlers who brought home Pocket Athletic Confereence titles. Memorial.

Six Wildcat champions still not enough for Big 8 team title By Steve Joos Just what did the Mount Vernon wrestling team have to do Saturday? Six Mount Vernon wrestlers brought home blue ribbons in the Big Eight Conference mat meet at Princeton, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Jasper, which only had four champions, but had enough of everything else to score 201 points, compared to 193 and onehalf for Mount Vernon. Maybe Mount Vernon should have swept all eight of its championship bouts? Mount Vernon controlled the middle of the lineup, as Jon Hoehn pinned Jasper’s Kaleb Chambers in 1:27 to claim the 130-pound title and start a Mount Vernon run. Andrew Konrath was next and he stuck Lee Menza of Washington in just 20 seconds for the 135pound crown. Jordan Dallas (140) gave Mount Vernon its third championship with an 8-2 decision over Connor Ennis of Boonville. One weight class later, Blake Marshall (152) made it five titles in four bouts when he nailed Jeff Koberstein of Princeton in 1:50. Mount Vernon had three wrestlers in the upper weights. Jacob Ewers decisioned another Tiger Dalton Halbig to win at 189, before Aaron Roberts (215) became the sixth Mount Vernon champ by registering the fourth pin of the round, nailing Washington’s

Heath Hedrick in 58 seconds. Unfortunately for Mount Vernon, heavyweight Teddy O’Connell came up short against Tanner Crum of Mount Carmel, losing that title bout 5-1.Julian Suar fell to Nathan Schitttler of Jasper 7-1 at 103 pounds for Mount Vernon’s other red ribbon. Mount Vernon had semifinalists in all but three weight classes. Of the three grapplers in the consolation round, two came in third. Adam Hoehn (125) nipped Logan McCarter of Vincennes 7-6 and Stephen Blanford (160) posted a 5-2 decision over another Alice, Tucker Fenwick, but 112-pounder Luke Rohlman was pinned by Ruger Kersteins of Jasper in their consolation match. That could have made the difference, too, especially since both teams had the same number of wrestlers in the semifinals, but Jasper seemed to have a little bit more. Some days, a team just can’t win. Boonville was a distant third in the meet with 137 points, with Washington in (126) in fourth and Princeton (121) fifth, Vincennes (63) and Mount Carmel (40) sixth. Both Mount Vernon and North Posey had their troubles in the recent Castle Six-way meet, but is was more of a tune-up for the mat Cats, as Mount Vernon went 2-3, while the Vikings dropped four of five decisions. The Cats were 56-16 winners in the head-

Wildcats take boys, girls team Big Eight titles By Steve Joos Saturday was a long one for the Mount Vernon swim teams, but it was a good day, too. When the Big Eight Conference championship trophies stay at the host pool, it has to be a good day. Coach Larry Zoller or one of his assistants should have just as well stayed near the awards podium at the Mount Vernon Junior High School pool, since they were giving out most of the ribbons in the meet, which saw the two teams take a combined total of 20 blue ribbons while sweeping the conference championships. Despite having two key swimmers absent due to family concerns, the Lady Wet Wildcats captured the girls’ meet with 411 points, 65 better than second-place Jasper (346), while the boys racked up 426 points and topped the Jasper boys’ squad by over 150 tallies (275). Oh, and some of swimmers made the record books undergo extensive revisions throughout the day. “We had a great meet,” Zoller said “The kids swam well, we broke a good amount of conference records, starting off with the medley relay.” The swimming events had barely started when the records started falling, as the girls’ 200-yard medley relay team of Kelsey Turner, Erica McCormick, Kasey Gerst and Mary Kleuh set a new standard in that race, posting a time of 1:49.92 and bettering the old mark by nearly nine-tenths of a second (McCormick set that record as well, in 2009). Zoller was pleased with the team’s overall effort and consistency, even with the girls at less than full strength. “We got all the places and all the people we wanted,” the coach explained. “That was something we talked to the girls about yesterday. You’ve got to get momentum in the meet early and not give the opportunity to your opponent to get that momentum. We did that and I was very proud of them.” McCormick then broke her own record in the 200-indivdual medley with a 2:08.34, and followed that up with a record-setting swim in the 100-breaststroke (1:03.64), while Turner blew away the old conference mark in the 500-freestyle with a time of 5:12.67, nearly four seconds better than the 5:16.30 set by Jasper’s Kayla Sergesketter in 2005. Gerst was a double winner, taking the 50-freestyle (:26.16) and 100-butterfly (1:02.16), while Samantha Reese lopped three seconds off her time in the 100-backstroke, while setting personal bests in that event and the 50-freestyle. Emily Harris practiced all week despite a dislocated finger and also registered a pair of personal bests, while the divers earned valuable points with a 3-4-5 finish. The boys had an easier time against a Jasper team in a rebuilding mode. “We started off with some solid swims,” Zoller said. “Clint Weimer went 1:55,

Swim, from Page B11 and dropped five seconds off the 200-freestyle, which was a good swim by Clint. In the 50-freestyle, we didn’t win it because our swimmer (Jordan Wooten) was the faster swimmer. But he did not have a good start, did not have a good turn, did not have a good finish, all those basic things that we work on, he did not do well.” Reid Mobley also had a great time in the 100-freestyle (a personal-best :48.80), while Jake Poole got close to breaking five minutes in the 500-freestyle and Sage Irons and Layton Hopper also showed improvement.

Wade Mobley and Wooten went 1-2 in the 100-breaststroke, winning by one-hundredth of a second. The boys were also strong on the boards, with a secondplace finish. Overall, a good day for Mount Vernon, but one that could even be better when Sectional time rolls around, since there will be some girls who represent another 20 points for the Lady Wet Cats. The meet’s format was altered because of the weatherforced cancellation of Thursday’s preliminary round. The
