By Pam Robinson At the Tuesday, January 17, meeting, the Mount Vernon School Board reviewed the 2011 investment report prepared by Loren Evans, Director of Business and Finance. Evans reported only $1,200 total earnings in general fund investments in 2011 and a mere $2.50 return on a $5,000 money market bond, the capital projects fund investment. The meager earnings point to the nation’s economic struggle. Calling 2011 a “bleak year” for investments, Evans noted that scholarship fund investments were transferred to Old National Bank from Integra when Integra closed. The interest rate dropped from 1.4 percent to .45 percent. After the meeting, Evans explained that the interest rate fell not because of any fault of the banks, but because
of certain rules regulating such investment transfers. He emphasized that the certificates of deposit would be reinvested this coming fall 2012. Superintendent Tom Kopatich thanked scholarship investors, saying the school district is “very appreciative of all scholarships.” He also commended donors who supplement scholarship investment earnings with additional gifts. Later in the evening, Kopatich and the board discussed the possibility of purchasing property located at 1021 West Fourth Street adjacent to West School. He noted that the school district will use monies set aside from the capital projects fund for remodeling the central offices to purchase this property, if the board chooses, and property previously purchased at 1024 West Fourth Street. He stressed that no
new fund would be created for the property purchase and said that no student learning would be affected. Past School Board President Beth McFadin Higgins commented that she had heard nothing negative in her conversations with constituents concerning the possible purchase of the property. Kopatich indicated he would bring the purchase of 1021 West Fourth Street as an action item to the next board meeting. He said sale price for the property is approximately $34,000. In other business, the board voted to •Confirm the employment of Amber Fifield as a teacher assistant/remediation at Marrs and West elementary schools, of Tara Reynolds as a part-time custodian at Hedges Central and of Raymond Pierce as a bus driver.
•Accepted the resignation of Raymond Pierce as a bus attendant effective January 17, 2012. •Granted permission for the Sunday, January 29, performance of Angelus at the University of Evansville’s Neu Chapel and for the Sunday, February 20, use of the pool and surrounding areas by the Mount Vernon Swim Club. •Adopted the transfer of funds certificates and resolutions for account transfers to balance the 2011 funds budgets. The Mount Vernon School Board will meet again on Monday, February 6, at 5:45 p.m. in the Mount Vernon Junior High School media center. Before the meeting, at 4:30 p.m., the board will meet at Hedges for a tour of the facility. Kopatich also announced a community open house at Hedges is hoped to take place later in February.
Foster care is major concern in Posey County By Pam Robinson The Indiana Department of Child Services, or DCS, was supervising 22 licensed homes and 23 children in foster care in Posey County as of December 31, 2011, according to Samantha Freeman, foster care specialist for our county and surrounding counties in this region. Freeman is issuing a special invitation to qualified parents to step forward, like Justin and Anne Buchanan of Mount Vernon, and learn the joys of helping children safely reunify with their families whenever possible. Going on four years, the Buchanans have opened their home and their hearts to foster children. During that time, the 20-something couple has cared for a total of six foster children. Five stayed short term, anywhere from 10 days to two months. After two-and-a-half years of the Buchanans’ foster care, another child took up permanent residence with the Buchanans. Along with their 2-year-old biological daughter Colbie, the couple celebrated the fourth birthday of their adopted daughter Jersey this past December 4. “We have found foster parenting very rewarding,” Anne states. “You look at the child and think, ‘How can I help this child?’ God has placed this child with me for a reason, whether the child needs me for a day, a week, a year—or forever.” Likewise, she acknowledges challenges, particularly in meeting the special needs of foster children. “A lot of these kids have needs. They’ve been through a lot,” Anne comments. “Sometimes you have behavioral issues that you have to work out. Sometimes you see a baby that’s been abused or neglected and has special needs because of that. That’s real hard to see. They need therapy and a lot of doctor’s appointments.” Because of the children’s special needs, Anne admits the expense should be considered also. Foster parents aren’t in their position for the money. “The state does try to help you with a lot of stuff, but if you really are going above and beyond for that child, you break even if you’re lucky,” she says. To deal with the challenges, Anne and Justin take in one foster child at a time to ensure they can meet that child’s needs at the same time they care for their two girls and the baby Anne is expecting in July. Although Justin’s employment at Sabic allows Anne to work solely in the home now to care for the children, the couple served as foster parents for nearly three years while each held down a full-time job and relied on family members for daycare. For families wondering how they could reach out to a foster child, Anne points to the different types of foster care in addition to traditional
Justin and Anne Buchanan and family home placement, namely respite care and emergency care. Foster parents providing respite care provide children a nurturing environment when their traditional foster family needs time away for, say, a vacation. Or foster parents may provide emergency care for usually no more than two days until children removed from a home can be introduced to a traditional foster family or placed with a suitable biological family member. “I think some people are just scared of foster parenting. They should get information and talk with people doing it,” Anne stresses. “There’s such a huge need, and it is very rewarding.” Both single parents and couples are invited to become foster parents. They are asked to pass a background check that includes a fingerprintbased national history and CPS check, agree to homes visits by a licens-

The Chamber of Commerce of Southwest Indiana hosted the annual, State of the Government-Posey County meeting on January 25, 2012, at the Posey County Community Center. This community meeting served as an opportunity for the speakers to present information about their respective communities and highlight some of the issues their communities are facing. One of the highlights of the meeting was a review of grants that have been secured and used in Posey County over the past few years. The City of Mount Vernon was far and away the winner in the grant lottery as the city was awarded a $6,572,000 grant for construction and wastewater plant improvements in 2010. Other Mount Vernon grants, in chronological order include the following. In 2005, the City of Mount Vernon was awarded a $50,000 planning grant for downtown revitalization. Mount Vernon Mayor John Tucker told those on hand that the grant had been put to good use as several projects and other grants have come about as a result of the original revitalization grant. In 2007, An acquisition grant was awarded to the Community Action Program of Evansville’s Head Start Program in Mount Vernon. The amount of that grant was $257,250. In the same year, a comprehensive master plan grant was also awarded to the City of Mount Vernon in the amount of $48,500. Then in 2010, a Congressional Earmark grant was awarded to Mount Vernon, also for downtown revitalization. Mount Vernon also received the lion’s share of Posey County grants, particularly in 2010 as a $300,000 grant was awarded for silo demolition. The most recent grant secured by the City of Mount Vernon was a $524,287 grant for construction on a storm water project. This project is nearing completion. The Town of Poseyville also received grants discussed at the meeting. In 2009, the Town of Poseyville received a CFF frant for water system improvements in the amount of $600,000. A CEDS planning grant was also awarded to Poseyville in 2009 in the amount of $12,500. Then in 2010, Poseyville was the recipient of an Economic Development Planning grant in the amount of $50,000. Poseyville’s other (and most recent) grant was received in 2011 in the amount of $150,000 for a Fire Department Rescue truck, is expected to be in service by sometime in early March. New Harmony’s most recent grant was probably the most important to the town as a new fire department/Emergency Medical Services building grant was awarded in 2010 in the amount of $500,000. The building is nearly complete. New Harmony has also been the recipient of a $500,000 Community Center Project grant in 2005 as well as a storm sewer grant, awarded in 2009 in the amount of $35,000. In 2006, New Harmony was the recipient of a Comprehensive Master Plan grant in the amount of $50,000. Cynthiana was the only other Posey County municipality to receive a grant as a wastewater system improvement grant was awarded to Cynthiana in the amount of $269,000 in 2006. Posey County’s officials were also on hand to discuss the grants they have received over the past few years with the Wabash Levee grant, in cooperation with Gibson County, for $$1,509,886 being awarded in late 2011. Posey County has also received grants of $50,000 in 2007 for a comprehensive master plan and another 25 percent FEMA matching grant in 2008 in the amount of $17,040.38. In 2010, the Economic Development Commission of Southwestern Indiana was awarded a $57,870.50 for planning following the announced elimination of jobs at Whirlpool Corporation. The Chamber of Commerce of Southwest Indiana will also be hosting the annual, Report to the Posey County Business Community dinner. This event will be held at the New Harmony Conference Center on February 29, 2012, at 5:30 p.m. For further information, please contact Brittaney Oeth Johnson at 838-3639 or email the new Posey County Administrative Director, at bjohnson@ccswin.com.

New Harmony Town Council quickly handles routine matters By Rhys Mathew The Economic Development Coalition gave a public hearing at the Jan. 19 New Harmony Town Council meeting to inform the community of a grant project for which the board will apply. The application date for the grant is June 8, and the grant award date is August 31, 2012. Improvements would include a new storm sewer along South Road to alleviate the water that comes down the hillside and causes flooding. A new storm sewer would also be added near Murphy Park and tie into South Street. The grant award could be up to the amount of $500,000. However, the town will have to raise additional money to contribute to the project as it is a matching grant. The board is requesting that residents write letters detailing any problems that excess water has caused to property and photos are also welcome. The second public hearing for the project will be held later in the spring.
The Parks Board welcomed Barbara McConnell as a member-at-large. The Parks Board tagged 11 trees to be planted in town and plan to do more tree-shopping with grant money. The Board heard an update on the new firehouse; the roof has been completed and windows have been installed. The completion date is set for the first of March. The town plans to test a new patch for potholes; the cold mix that is currently used is very difficult to work with during the winter. The town will try a new mix that is easier to work with in the winter. The board amended the Bicentennial Ordinance, adding two new members, one representative of Harmonie State Park and one representative of the New Harmony Association of Interpreters. The board also considered quotes for increasing liability insurance coverage. The board will discuss this coverage more in depth at the next meeting on the third Thursday in February at 5 p.m.
By Pam Robinson “We will bring the harmony of two people singing together for 25 years,” says Emily Cantrell about her performance with husband Al on Saturday night, February 4, at the Owen Community House, 421 North Street, in New Harmony. During a telephone interview, the Cantrells said they are excited about returning to the “wonderful people” of New Harmony and presenting their “lean and clean sound” as they did during Kunstfest a couple of years ago. Currently based in Nashville, the Cantrells bring original folk and bluegrass songs as well as Celtic music to their audiences. They promise while in New Harmony to perform a number of selections from their four recorded CDs as well as a sampling of not-yet-recorded songs for a fifth CD in the works. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. for their 8 p.m. show, sponsored by the New Harmony Artists Guild. Seating is limited at the Owen Community House, so music lovers need The Cantrell’s to call 812-682-3523 or 812589-5031 and reserve their seats. The admission price of $10 is collected at the door. Nationally recognized as versatile artists comfortable with both vocals and instrumentals, Emily likes best to sing and write songs while Al most enjoys playing the fiddle. As Robert K. Oermann of the Nashville Tennessean has said, "She sings like an angel; he plays like the devil.” “Emily has a beautiful voice, and she is able to write songs that fit that instrument,” Al says. “She doesn’t need to be tied down by the limits of other songwriters. Oftentimes, she doesn’t render other writers’ songs because they are so limited in range. Her melodies are often difficult for others to sing, so they’re her own and allow for her wide range.” Earning a degree in English as well as music, Emily attributes her love of words and writing, especially poetry (like that of Emily Dickinson) to her mother. Emily was introduced to poetry at an early age and was encouraged to write lyrics as a child. “I want to make sure that any song I write is poetic,” Emily comments. “I also like melody. I’m always aware of those elements when I’m writing a song.” The topics of Emily’s songs are as wide ranging as her voice. “A song can be about any- Legion Open House, thing,” she insists. “I’ve Fish Fry set for Feb. 4

written songs about quilts, shooting stars, the ever-twisting love relationship, the non-human world of trees, mountains, and rivers.” Al complements Emily with his contest-winning fiddling in traditional, swing and Irish styles. Indeed, he studied Irish fiddle in the late 70s when he was touring Europe and studied with native musicians, both in Ireland and in London, where Irish artists could count on steady work. “He was obsessed with Irish music for a while,” Emily states. In addition to Emily’s original songs for her angelic voice as well as Al’s devilish fiddling, their performances feature Emily’s strong rhythm guitar and Al’s tender mandolin, their duet harmonies, and “fiddlesticks,” or “playing the straws.” (Emily plays the piano also.) They showcase a wide variety of cover tunes from bluegrass to Broadway musicals. When the Cantrells aren’t performing, they love outdoor activities--climbing mountains and riding bicycles. No surprise, then, that Robert Redford chose the Cantrells for a cameo performance in the classic motion picture, “A River Runs Through It.” Another thrilling performance placed Emily and Al on live radio in a “Voice of America” broadcast heard worldwide. They shared a song of world peace called “A New Language,” the title song of their second CD by the same name. They love to read not only poetry, but additional genres of fiction and a wide range of nonfiction. Al says he reads more history and mystery than anything. As a “do-it-yourselfer,” he relates that he has drawn on his history books for authentic renovation of the couple’s Victorian home. In the same way, Emily has relied on cookbooks to satisfy her hunger as a self-proclaimed “major foodie.” She considers it great fun to learn about foods and to prepare good meals. These two charming people starting performing together in 1983 and married just a couple of years later in 1985. Oregon-born Al Ehlers took his Tennessee bride’s last name, Cantrell, as his own. The rest is music history. Prior to the Cantrells’ New Harmony performance, everyone is invited to learn more about their music history and to enjoy a few of their music videos at their website— thecantrells.net.

Ribeye steak dinner and auction Feb. 25
The Annual Ribeye Steak Dinner and auction is taking place on Saturday, February 25 from 5 - 7 p.m. at the Ribeyre Gymnasium in New Harmony. The auction begins at 6:30 p.m and the money will go year-to-year direction of the survey tracks with the federal towards interior gym projgovernment’s Consumer Price Index (www.bls.gov/cpi/) report for food at home. As retail grocery prices have increased gradually over time, the share of the average food dollar that America’s farm and ranch families receive has dropped. “In the mid-1970s, farmers received about one-third of consumer retail food expenditures for food eaten at home and away from home, on average. Since then, that figure has decreased steadily and is now about 16 percent, according to the Agriculture Department’s revised Food Dollar Series,” Anderson said. USDA’s new Food Dollar Series may be found online atwww.ers.usda.gov/Data/FoodDollar/app/. AFBF, the nation’s largest general farm organization, has been conducting the informal quarterly market basket survey of retail food price trends since 1989. The mix of foods in the market basket was updated during the first quarter of 2008. According to USDA, Americans spend just under 10 percent of their disposable annual income on food, the lowest average of any country in the world. A total of 53 shoppers in 18 states participated in the latest survey, conducted at the end of October/early November. Twenty-two volunteer shoppers participated in IFB’s survey.
Price relief seen at Indiana grocery stores Grocery store prices declined slightly during the fourth quarter of 2011, according to a quarterly survey from Farm Bureau. Indiana Farm Bureau’s latest “market basket” survey, an informal survey of grocery prices released every quarter, shows that the 16 food items on the survey cost an average of $49.60 cents, down 73 cents from the 3rd quarter survey. Of the 16 items on the survey, 11 decreased in price. The IFB survey is part of a nationwide survey compiled by the American Farm Bureau Federation from data supplied by state Farm Bureaus. The national survey reported an even larger decrease: The total cost of 16 food items was $49.23, down $3.89 or about 7 percent compared to the third quarter of 2011 This is the first decrease the survey has shown since the 2nd quarter of 2010, when the total was $43.81. “We have seen consistently higher prices quarter to quarter on a broad range of market basket items,” said AFBF senior economist John Anderson. “With this survey, that trend appears to have reversed. While the market basket price was still higher year-over-year, the pull-back from recent highs on most of the items in the basket suggests that food price inflation is slowing down substantially.” “It is interesting to note that majority of the items decreasing in price are protein foods as well as foods that have the least amount of processing,” said Isabella Chism, IFB 2nd vice president, who with her husband, Kent, farms in Howard County. “Farmers, producers as well as consumers, are hoping this is a sign of market stabilization and the law of supply and demand will again dictate food prices.” The item that decreased the most was potatoes, which dropped by 94 cents to $2.65 per 5-pound bag. Other fruit and vegetable products showing a decrease were apples, down by 20 cents per pound to $1.88, and a half-gallon of orange juice, down 7 cents to $3.23. But many of the decreases were for meat and dairy products. Boneless chicken breasts were down by 25 cents per pound to $2.90; sliced deli ham dropped by 24 cents per pound to $5.02; 1 pound of shredded cheddar cheese dropped by 16 cents to $4.08; a gallon of whole milk dropped by 14 cents to $3.27; and ground chuck dropped by 3 cents per pound to $2.94. Also showing decreases were white bread, down 30 cents for a 20-ounce loaf to $1.49; flour, down 20 cents for 5 pounds to $2.51; and cereal, down 16 cents per 10-ounce box to $3.08. The largest increase was in vegetable oil, which increased by 85 cents per 32-ounce bottle to $4.05. Other items that increased were sirloin tip roast, up 39 cents per pound to $4.41; eggs, up 32 cents to $1.90 per dozen; bagged salad mix, up 30 cents for a 1-pound bag to $2.18; and bacon, up 9 cents per pound to $4.01. “With consumer confidence still a little shaky closing out the year, it appears that retailers are holding the line on food prices as much as possible,” Anderson explained. “Stabilizing energy prices this past quarter also may have helped take some of the pressure off of processor and retailer margins.” Farm Bureau’s market basket survey isn’t intended to be a definitive survey but is rather a snapshot of food prices in Indianaand other participating states. However, the

Fighting cancer with flowers Indiana residents can fight back against cancer and share hope for those facing the disease by supporting the American Cancer Society Daffodil Days®. This longstanding fundraiser is about more than just getting beautiful flowers; it is an opportunity to share hope for a world with less cancer and more birthdays, where cancer never steals another year from anyone’s life. For a donation of $10, anyone can enjoy a bouquet of fresh-cut daffodils while supporting the fight against cancer. In addition to a bunch of daffodils for $10, a bunch and a vase is available for $15, or two bunches and a vase for $25. Another important part of Daffodil Days is the Gift of Hope – a bouquet of daffodils in a vase, delivered anonymously to cancer patients within the community. The Gift of Hope helps brighten a patient’s day and serves as an introduction to the American Cancer Society’s free services and information available to help them get well. Multiple donation levels are offered (beginning at $25), to enable donors to support as many
Gift of Hope deliveries as they choose. The last day to place an advanced order is March 9. Flowers will be delivered March 19 – 23. This year, FedEx is partnering with the American Cancer Society to deliver orders of $100 or more for free, to nearly the entire state. For those that miss the pre-order deadline, once the flowers arrive they will also be available at select Kroger locations throughout the state. Funds raised through Daffodil Days enable the Society to offer free programs and services that save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight. To order daffodils or to get involved with collecting orders at your workplace or organization, visit cancer. org/daffodils or call 1-800227-2345.
Seeds of the Sower Rejected by a college, the banker’s son said to his father, “If you really cared for me, you’d have pulled some wires to get me into college.” “I know,” said the father, “the TV, the telephone and the ignition wires pulled out would have done for a start.” But the man with a push will pass the man with a

pull. For every achievement, there’s a cost. For every goal there’s a foe. For every victory, there’s a sacrifice. For every triumph, there’s a struggle. The Bible says, “Work hard so God can say to you, ‘Well done.’ Be a good workman, one who does not need to be ashamed when God examines your work.”

Applications for Neighbor to Neighbor program now accepted
The Community Emergency Assistance Board of Posey County is now accepting applications for the spring 2012 Neighbor to Neighbor program. Neighbor to Neighbor (NTN) is a faith-based, 14-lesson course, which helps individuals take concrete steps to improve their lives. NTN uses a group process based on positive, problemsolving techniques. Valuable life skills taught include smart shopping, using community resources, discerning between wants and needs and changing destructive behaviors. These are presented in a manner which involves every
member at every session in a process of developing their own solutions. Neighbor to Neighbor is a class for working and employable adults, with an emphasis on developing skills that result in obtaining independence through employment. For this reason, individuals on a fixed income, such as disability or social security, are not eligible for the program. NTN emphasizes employment as the only reliable manner in which to gain financial security. Employed, under-employed or employable adults who are residents of Posey County may apply
for the course. The successful applicant will possess a desire to change, the willingness to consider new and different options for choices in their life and the commitment to attend and participate in class sessions. Upon successful completion of the program, participants will receive a $400 incentive paid towards an existing debt. Child care is also provided free of charge for those selected to participate in the program. The spring session will be held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from April 10 to May 24. Application forms may be obtained at any Posey
County Trustee’s office or at Family Matters. Qualified applicants will be contacted to schedule an interview. Interviews will be held at First United Methodist Church the week of March 26. Those applicants accepted into the program will be notified the week of April 2. Sponsored by the Community Emergency Assistance Board, the Neighbor to Neighbor program has been offered in Posey County since 2007 and receives the generous support of St. Vincent DePaul, United Way of Posey County, SABIC and McKim’s IGA.
Sermon of the Week: The Road to Salvation By Receiving In God Ministries This is where you are going to have to make a choice about whether you want to continue down the same old road. You may be one heart beat one step away from your eternal destination. If you died right now do you know if you would go to heaven? If you were standing at the gate and the angel ask you why should I let you into heaven what would you say? Do you know the answer? There is only one answer. Jesus said. I am the way, the truth, and the life no man comes to the father but by me. Jesus is the doorway to heaven. “And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Act 2:21
“because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” Romans 10:9 “for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:10 We would like to invite you to ask Jesus Christ into your heart today so that he can fully show himself to you. His plan and purpose for your life are truly awesome. Just remember that no matter what you have done in the past or will ever do in the future, either good or bad, can ever compare to the peace and contentment that will overtake you when you humbly sur-
render your life back into the hands of your heavenly father. You can do that by simply praying this simple prayer out loud. “Heavenly Father, I invite Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and as my Savior. I believe Jesus died for my sins. His blood was shed so that I could be forgiven and I believe that he has been raised from the dead. I surrender my life to you Jesus and I accept You as my Lord from this moment forward. I receive the forgiveness of sins through your shed blood Jesus. Take out my old heart, Lord, and give me a new heart, a new spirit, a new life and I will follow you, with your help, by your grace, all the days of my life. In Jesus’ Name.”

USDA announces new Conservation Assistance USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Indiana State Conservationist, Jane Hardisty, announced today the availability of funding for the Wetlands Reserve Enhancement Program (WREP) to enter into agreements with partners to protect wetlands and restore, enhance, protect, and manage wildlife habitat. According to Hardisty, “Indiana first piloted this approach to wetland restoration with our partners in 2005, with work along the Wabash and in the Limberlost area. In 2011, we funded two more partner projects in both the lower and upper Wabash River, for a total of $2.9 million NRCS funds invested in Indiana’s wetland projects. This cooperative approach to restoration results in better flood protection, cleaner water,
more wildlife habitat, additional recreational opportunities, and the protection of threatened and endangered species. WREP is an important conservation tool and I encourage our partners to participate.” WREP is a voluntary conservation program that works through partnership agreements with states, nongovernmental organizations, not for profit organizations, and tribes. It is a component of the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP). Through targeted WREP projects, Wetlands Reserve Program dollars are made available directly to landowners for permanent or 30-year easements and/or restoration cost-share agreements which can help them deal with cropping challenges in frequently flooded areas while improving water quality.
Partners will be required to bring resources to the cost of the project through in-kind and/or cash contributions toward restoration costs. Proposals that go above and beyond required contributions will be given higher consideration. Eligible partners may submit proposals for individual projects, watershed-wide or larger geographical area to the Indiana NRCS office, 6013 Lakeside Boulevard, Indianapolis, Ind. by 4 p.m. on February 10, 2012. Proposals submitted by fax or through the www.grants.gov website will not be accepted. Proposals will be evaluated by Indiana NRCS staff using a competitive process. Recommendations for funding will be forwarded to the national NRCS office for review, ranking, and final selection.
Janet L. Johnson will be the new Alumni and Volunteer Services director at the University of Southern Indiana beginning in the 2012 spring semester. The announcement was made by Cindy Brinker, vice president for Government and University Relations. Brinker said, “Janet Johnson is the ideal candidate for this position. She has worked with many students and alumni who were seeking new employment opportunities, and she has worked with area employers. Janet possesses the leadership skills to successfully guide and direct Alumni and Volunteer Services.” Johnson has worked at USI since 2000, and she has most recently served as the assistant director of Career Services and Placement, where she coached alumni and current students on effective job search procedures and professional development. She coordinated employer recruiting events and helped alumni and students with career decisions relating to internships and part-time and full-time employment opportunities. In her new role, Johnson will lead efforts to engage with the more than 31,000 USI alumni through activities that support USI’s mission. She will help plan, implement, and promote alumni programs and work closely with USI’s Alumni Council. Alumni Council President Jina Campbell said, “Janet Johnson has a passion for USI and knows the University as a student, a graduate, an employee, and a supporter. With her vibrant and easy-going manner, she will relate well to newer alumni and alumni who have graduated a decade or more ago.” As part of the responsibilities, Johnson will provide leadership to Volunteer USI, an organized effort to recruit volunteers for a variety of USI programs and services. The awardwinning program keeps files on volunteer jobs available at USI and in the community. The program registered a million hours of service by volunteers last spring. Johnson earned a Master of Science degree in Public Administration in 2005 from USI. Her undergraduate degree is from the University of Evansville. She lives with her husband Karl and daughter Mary, a senior at USI, in Mt. Vernon, Indiana. The Johnsons also have a married daughter, Andrea and Matthew McFaddin of Mt. Vernon, and two married sons, Aaron and Ginger Johnson of Evansville and Matthew and Brittaney Johnson of Mt. Vernon. Active in her community, Johnson has served as vice president of the Posey County Family Matters Board and as the chairperson of the RiverBend Coalition in 2010. She was a participant in the regional community leadership program called Connect with Southern Indiana in 2005. She replaces Nancy L. Johnson (no relation), who served more than 27 years as the Alumni and Volunteer Services director before her retirement in January.
Toll bridge office to hold special hours, sign up for Wabash Pass The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announces special hours will once again be available for the Toll Bridge office in Mount Vernon. Beginning Thursday, January 12, the office will be open between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. local time each Thursday through March 1. While the local office is open it will allow motorists in noncompliance status the opportunity to sign up for a Wabash Pass transponder for their vehicles and pay their violations without any penalties being incurred. Motorists with the Wabash Pass may also stop by the office to add money to their accounts, resolve any issues with their transponders or accounts or to ask general questions regarding the system. January 1 of last year, INDOT began utilizing the electronic
Corn price swings to continue? Since early October, corn prices have bounced in a wide trading range. March 2012 futures have traded between about $5.75 and $6.75 while December 2012 futures have been between about $5.35 and $6.20. The wide price fluctuations have reflected numerous changes in indications of underlying supply and demand for corn. Those changing factors included USDA production and stocks reports, South American weather, the rate of exports and export sales, the rate of ethanol production, and expectations about the potential size of the 2012 U.S. crop. Prices have also likely been influenced by the volatility in the financial, currency, and metals markets. Currently, March 2012 futures are near the middle of the four-month trading range, while December 2012 futures are in the low end of the recent range. Prices for the 2011 crop are currently being supported by a fairly rapid rate of consumption and on-going uncertainty about the size of the upcoming South American harvest. Basis levels have been generally strong since harvest and are currently at record levels for this time of year in some markets. While December 1, 2011 stocks of U.S. corn were larger than expected, they were at a 5-year low. Yearending stocks are projected to be a relatively small 6.7 percent of consumption. Ethanol production in the first two weeks of January was nearly 5 percent larger than during the same two weeks last year. The low price of ethanol relative to gasoline suggests that blending economics will remain favorable even without the blenders’ tax credit. Ethanol export prospects also remain favorable due to reduced competition from Brazilian ethanol. With 7 months remaining in the marketing year, there is potential for price relationships to change,
but it appears that corn use for production of ethanol and coproducts is well on the way to reaching the USDA projection of 5 billion bushels for the year. March 2013 futures are about $.50 lower than March 2012 futures and the spread widened about $.20 over the last week. The market is anticipating a larger U.S. corn crop in 2012 and some build-up of inventories by the end of the 2012-13 marketing year. The larger crop expectation stems from expectations for an increase in acreage, motivated by high prices, and higher yields after two consecutive years of below trend yields. Current expectations for planted acreage of corn appear to center on about 94 million, two million more than planted in 2011. With favorable planting season weather, such an increase could be easily accommodated without a reduction in total acreage of other spring planted crops. Total cropland acreage could increase substantially in 2012 as a result of maturing CRP contracts in September 2011 and a sharp reduction in prevented plantings from those of 2011.
tolling system as a way to continue the practice of being good stewards of the Taxpayer’s dollars. The bridge is not a part of the Federal Highway Register and is not eligible for federal funding for repairs or replacement. The structure was originally built in 1956 and recently underwent improvements. It is currently in year 54 of its estimated 75 year life span. The State did not want to entertain the notion of increasing tolls for the bridge. The last increase was in 1984. In order to secure the funding required for the necessary repairs and replacement, refining the tolling process was necessary. By switching to the automated system the State will have a reduction in operating costs and allowing those funds to be retained for capital improvements.
The electronic tolling system allows users to place a transponder on the front windshield of the vehicle which will be scanned by an overhead reader at the toll bridge. Motorists upload money on their account to be used to pay their tolls without having to carry cash or purchase advance tickets as they have had to do in the past. Motorists can continue to visit www.wabashbridge.com to order a transponder or add money to their account. If motorists are unable to come to the office or do not have access to the internet, they may also contact INDOT. Please call 1-800-279-5758 and press “4” for the Wabash Pass. Our staff will take the necessary information and process the necessary equipment.

OPINION
Adventures in small town life have their moments...good and bad Apparently we caused quite a stir in the Poseyville neighborhood this week when we decided to test the waters and put a “For Sale By Owner” sign up in front of our home on Cale Street. Both Connie and I are from small communities and we TRUTH... know that news, whether it TRANGER S be good or bad, always travT HAN els fast in a small community. That can be a blessing or a FICTION curse, depending on how you BY DAVE are looking at it, but I found it PEARCE delightful that we had several calls and concerns almost immediately as to why we had a “For Sale” sign in our yard. I sincerely appreciate the concern and just to let everyone know, Posey County (and Poseyville in particular) is not going to get rid of us that easily. Despite the fact that we both work some 30 miles away, we have both grown to love the Poseyville community and its people. Just so you can hear it “straight from the horse’s mouth,” when we decided to make the move back to Posey County after purchasing the newspaper, the real estate market had taken a hit. It was getting late in the year and Connie wanted to get things resolved so we found a nice, reliable couple who had inquired about “leasing to own” our recentlybuilt Henderson, Ky., home. We decided to
take them up on their offer to lease the property with the probability of buying it in 2012. Recently, the family leasing our home have been through some struggles. They have each faced cancer and a lot of unexpected expenses. We learned a little over a week ago that they would be leaving the lease early and would not be able to purchase the home. So immediately, it set the wheels in motion. I’m not sure about you but I do well to make one house payment, much less two, so Connie and I decided to put both homes up for sale and see which one would sell first. The answer to that question came sooner than we ever had thought. A nice couple who had looked at our home almost three years ago expressed that they would still be interested in purchasing it. It took about four or five days to work out all the details but barring some unforeseen event, they will be purchasing our home in Henderson sometime near the middle of February. But in the meantime, we have had a nice young couple who seems to have an interest in our Poseyville home. They seem to be a perfect fit for the community but only time will tell if this will work out for them. But with the probable sale of the Henderson
home and the possible sale of the Poseyville home, it “could” open up some capital to conceivably buy a home of a little different type but still in the Poseyville area. The home where we live now is large, by my standards. It consists of well over 3,200 square feet on two floors (not counting a huge garage and a full basement). Two floors is more easily said than done even now and I foresee a day in the not-so-distant future when it will probably be even tougher. We love the space but it seems a little wasteful considering that aside from occasional visits, it is generally just the two of us and my most recent canine acquisition “Tebow” who inhabit the home. So should everything work out, we “could” be pursuing another home in the Poseyville area. Should the Poseyville home not sell, it is likely that we will stay put. Believe me, even when you move more times than the ordinary, it doesn’t take too long to accumulate enough “stuff” to make the thought of another move wear a little on your intestines. So we won’t be moving just for the sake of moving. My wife has her eye on a place or two in the area but everything has to fall into place. It hasn’t taken long for us to fall in love again with Posey County, after several years away. We have been living in the county again for almost three years. It is especially
convenient to live near Interstate 64 where we can pull out of our driveway and be on the Interstate in less than five minutes. And with Eric (our son) in Lexington, we can hop on the Interstate and hop off it in Georgetown, Ky., where Eric lives just five minutes from I64. Needless to say, that is convenient. For those who saw the sign in the yard and thought maybe you were going to get rid of us easily, that’s probably not going to happen. My wife is too fond of her family and those beautiful nieces and handsome nephews for that. For those of you who saw the sign and have expressed that you would hate to see us leave town, you can rest easy too. I have grown content to be part of rural America. Every once in awhile, I like to experience a little change in life. If the house doesn’t sell, you will probably find me in a week or two at the paint store or the carpet store. A project or two will probably take care of my “change” tooth until something else comes along. Look for more news next week regarding my new canine Tebow. It’s too early in our relationship for my new buddy and I to be threatened by “her.” We have to give her a chance to fall in love with this little Bichon Frisse first. I know I can’t win her over but if it gets late in the fourth quarter and the score is close, with Tebow, I know I will always have a good chance!
Guest Editorial: Americans need fundamental attitude adjustment By Ginny Grimsley The 10-year-old who committed suicide recently in a rural Illinois community came home from school the day before in tears. It wasn’t the first time. Ashlynn Conner, a fifth-grader, had complained of bullying for two years. After the most recent episode, Ashlynn asked to be home-schooled and her mother promised to take her for a chat with the principal the following Monday. The next night, her older sister found her hanging by a scarf in her bedroom closet. “It’s yet another example of the horrific things happening in our society because people still judge other people for everything but how they behave,” says Shay Dawkins, author of The Good News: How Revealing Delusions in Christianity Will Bring Peace to All (www.thegoodnewsbook.com), an analysis of the Bible that compares contemporary Christian values with scripture. “We start forming biases at a very young
age,” he notes. “Unfortunately, some people use even the Bible to justify judging others for circumstances those people didn’t choose. These biases are often so ingrained, people aren’t aware they even have them. Change starts with each individual, Dawkins says. Become aware of your personal biases. We all have them. Children start picking them up from family members, TV and others in their environment about the time they start walking. Studies have shown that as early as age 3, some toddlers are using words associated with racial prejudice! As evidenced by Ashlynn Conner’s devastating experience, by elementary school children may have acquired a grown-up set of biases that are manifest in taunts, jeers and other acts of bullying. See what biases you may have by taking the Hidden Bias Tests developed by psychologists at Harvard, the University of Virginia and the University
of Washington. Visit implicit.harvard.edu/ implicit/ Hone your empathy skills. People who can empathize well are good at putting themselves in another person’s shoes. They may not agree with that person’s feelings, but they can understand them – sometimes they can actually feel what another person feels. Empathy helps us relate to others and erodes biases by pushing us beyond baseless preconceived notions. Some of us have to work harder at being empathetic than others. To work on your skills, ask yourself how your children, co-workers or spouse would describe you. Be honest! Would your children say you yell a lot? Would your spouse say you spend more time complaining about what he or she doesn’t do than acknowledging what he does? Empathy also helps us meet that gold standard of rules: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If you have a negative attitude, change it. If you tend to make negative comments
or respond negatively when talking about or to certain groups of people, practice turning them into positives, even if it means following your negative with a positive. (Your friends should be only mildly confused at first.) Believe it or not, heart and mind often follow our spoken word and it’s a good way to start changing your attitude. Dawkins says he wrote The Good News after a long study of the Bible made him realize that many Americans taking stands on divisive contemporary issues erroneously base their views on “Christian belief.” “The message in the Bible, and probably other religions as well, is a positive one,” Dawkins says. “It doesn’t tell us to be cruel to people who are different from us, it tells us to embrace them – all of them. “I’m not sure if peace on Earth is possible, but if everyone simply judged others on how they treat people – not on whether they’re gay, or Muslim, or black, or overweight, the world would be a happier place.”
Thought for the Day Ethics and integrity can best be seen in the behaviors that are exhibited and tolerated within your team. Here are a few questions to consider and ultimately address if your answers are not favorable. Have you and others on your team: • Told an ethnically or sexually oriented joke? • Gossiped or spread negative rumors? • Bad mouthed the company or management? • Pried into a co-worker’s private affairs? • Posted something you shouldn’t? • Passed along information shared in confidence? • Withheld information that others needed? • Taken credit for another’s accomplishment? • Failed to admit to or correct a mistake? Ethics and integrity are outcomes that occur thru individual actions and behaviors. And, let’s always remember that everything we do counts! Lead well ... LEAD RIGHT
Gavel Gamut’s “Did you notice?” Men are big picture people, preferably at least a 27” big picture. We do not concern ourselves with such details as color schemes unless something truly important such as a ballgame is involved. That is why so GAVEL many marital problems could GAMUT be avoided if women would just quit asking: “Did you no- BY JUDGE tice anything different?” Let JIM REDWINE me answer this question for all men, for all time: “Huh?” Let me ask you, was Adam even aware there was a tree in the Garden of Eden until Eve offered a bite of that apple? My guess is he was perfectly content with his dominion over everything, but Eve, of course. He probably enjoyed lounging around with no chores or projects. It is pretty obvious there was no Mrs. God or God would have foreseen this paradise on earth could not survive the assault on Adam’s ribs. This came home to me yesterday when I got home from work and went upstairs to change clothes. Everything seemed right with the world as I climbed the stairs. Peg said sweetly, “Are you coming right back down?” I thought, “How nice, she wants to have supper.” I replied, “Yes”, and got my sweatshirt and Levi’s on. When I got back to the living room, Peg said, “Well?” I replied, “What’s for supper?” She said, “What do you think?” I said, “I think it would have been a lot better Super Bowl if the teams were Denver and Green Bay.” I felt the room temperature drop. “Didn’t you notice?” Ah, there it was. That age old inquisition hidden beneath a seemingly innocuous inquiry. Panic began to rise. I could feel a warm supper disappearing beneath layers of exasperation. What to do? What was it? I Googled through my mind in
search of answers. My eyes darted in all directions. What had changed since breakfast? “Uh, did you cut your hair? It looks lovely.” “No!” “That outfit sure brings out the fire in your eyes; is it new?” “I haven’t had a new outfit in years, in fact, not since your new shotgun.” The world was spinning out of control. How could I discover what life-altering occurrence had taken place? I looked around. I beseeched help from the dog. I thought about divine intervention. What really concerned me was that I would not be able to watch the IU-Wisconsin basketball game if I couldn’t salvage the situation. I decided to do the husband’s Heimlich Maneuver. I said, “You look like you’ve lost some weight since you started that new exercise routine.” Peg brushed aside my clumsy attempt at avoiding the subject as if I were a presidential candidate caught in the headlights of a question from Nancy Grace. “So, you didn’t even notice. I spent all afternoon on that project and would think you’d appreciate it.” “I do appreciate it. I think it’s great. What is it?” I trudged back up the stairs behind Peg whose every tread fell like a sledgehammer pounding on my forehead. “There, see! Now, what do you think?” I looked around the bedroom but my mind was whirling. What was different? “Could you give me a hint?” “A hint, I’ll give you a hint. See that couch? Do you remember it used to have a floral pattern?” “Ah, maybe.” “Well, it now matches the bedspread. I covered it today.” “Gee, it looks great? Can we eat now before the game starts?”

The important legislation of 2012 Last year during the 2011 legislative session, we were charged with fulfilling two constitutional mandates. They issued that we craft a biennial budget for the fiscal years 2012 and 2013 and that we draw new Indiana House and Senate and Congressional maps. Why we have no constitutional mandates this year, we still have heard and will continue to discuss numerous pieces of legislation that will help Hoosiers across the state. The most pressing bill on our calendar was to update our human trafficking laws before the Super Bowl. State Attorneys from across the US, who have hosted the Super Bowl, have reported that they saw a rise in human trafficking. Legislation passed will close loopholes and further define Indiana’s trafficking statute. We must protect potential victims in addition to prosecuting the offenders of this horrific crime. I hope to see legislation passed this session that would help those Hoosiers that were victims of the State Fair stage collapse. Legislation would double the amount of compensation available to those victims from $5 M to $10 M. This terrible tragedy brought out the generosity and kindness of Hoosiers and we should continue to help

those families by any means available to us. One bill that passed last week provides aid to military families. Many of our soldiers return from duty and need help to get back on their feet. To provide relief, a Military Relief Family Fund was created in 2007, which is primarily self-funded through the sale of “Support Our Troops” license plates. Qualified service families are eligible to apply for the grants that can be used to pay essential family expenses. This year’s bill has extended from one year to three years the time that a military service family may be eligible to receive assistance from this fund. This year, we also would like to strengthen Indiana’s refund system by prioritizing refunds and ensuring that they are distributed fairly. We need to do this because current projections indicate that $4 M Hoosiers could receive a refund of at least $50 when they file their 2012 tax returns next spring. These are just a few of the many bills from this session. I firmly believe that this will be a productive session for Hoosiers and I remain committed to being our district’s voice and standing up for issues that will improve our community.

Vikings show physical, mental toughness in win at Princeton
This was the beginning of the beginning of the end for the Princeton Tigers as Nick Neidig got behind the Princeton defense for a basket. Photo by Dave Pearce
By Dave Pearce According to the popular Internet source Wikipedia, basketball (commonly nicknamed “B-ball” or “hoops”) is a team sport in which two teams of five players try to score points by throwing or “shooting” a ball through the top of a basketball hoop while following a set of rules. Various violations are generally called “fouls”. Disruptive physical contact (a personal foul) is penalized, and a free throw is usually awarded to an offensive player if he is fouled while shooting the ball. A technical foul may also be issued when certain infractions occur, most commonly for unsportsmanlike conduct on the part of a player or coach. A technical foul gives the opposing team a free throw. The Princeton Tigers learned all about the fouls, the technicals, and the remedies for unsportsmanlike conduct on Saturday evening as the North Posey Vikings defeated the Tigers in Princeton by a score of 60-46. The Tigers learned, in their last game against the Vikings in the old junior high gymnasium, that basketball consists of skills, desire, and both physical and mental toughness. The Vikings appeared to have an edge in all four. And they could have learned a thing or two about defense had they been taking notes. The first quarter was ugly.
Princeton Community High School basketball coach seems to have a disagreement with a call made by former Mount Vernon basketball player and now referee Jace Redman. Photo by Dave Pearce Both teams had trouble hitting their shots. The Vikings worked the ball for well over a minute before taking an errant shot and the Tigers got on the board first.
“It doesn’t have to be pretty for you to have fun and to win games,” an obviouslyelated North Posey Coach

Wildcats put it all together for overtime homecoming win By Steve Joos Hello, Newman! Goodbye, Gibson Southern! Bryce Newman drained a three-pointer from the left side as time ran out Friday night to put the Mount Vernon Wildcats past the visiting Titans 80-79 in overtime, snapping a four-game losing streak while posting a victory in their basketball homecoming game. Newman pumped in 20 points as four Cats hit double figures, including Brian Koch, who knocked down a game-high 32 tallies and forced an extra period by connecting from three-point land with 1.2 seconds left on the clock. Losing a pair of heartbreakers at the recent Carmi Invitational Tournament may have helped the Cats get ready for a game like Friday’s according to coach Marc Hostetter. “We felt that we played well over in Carmi last week,” Hostetter said. “We felt that we improved in a lot of areas. We just couldn’t catch any luck and tonight, Gibson Southern played a great basketball game, and it seemed like whoever had the ball last, whoever had the ball at the end had the best chance to win it and fortunately, it was us.” The Titans appeared to have the contest won in regulation when Spencer Schmitt converted a pair of free throws with 8.7 seconds to go in the fourth quarter, but Koch got a look from the top of the key with 1.2 ticks left on the clock and knocked it down, squaring the set at 73-73 and sending it into overtime. It didn’t always look that way, however, even in the extra four minutes. For one thing, the Cats had to battle back from a 40-27 halftime deficit and then watched the Titans’ Kyle Nixon put his team in front by stealing the ball and taking all the way, apparently putting Gibson Southern in front with 3.5 seconds left on the clock. The Wildcats quickly got the ball inbounds, however, and got it to Newman. And the sophomore guard let it fly for a gamewinning shot that brought just about everyone, including the basketball homecoming royalty, onto the court for a celebration. In the first half, Gibson Southern did a good job of taking away Mount Vernon’s initial look at the basket and they were able to do some of the things they’re stronger at offensively and as a result took command of the game.

After the Cats scored the first four points of the game, Gibson Southern came back with 17-4 rampage for a nine-point lead. Two buckets by Koch and Newman’s first trey of the night pulled the Cats to within two points at 17-15, but Andrew Ziliak dropped in bucket as the quarter ended, putting the Titans up 19-15 at the break. Gibson Southern stretched their lead to 11 points before Drake McNamara downed a layup two minutes into the period. The Titans build a 37-23 bulge before Newman and Tyler Ritzert each converted a pair of free throws, cutting the gap to 10 points. A threepointer by Jordan Scheller put the Titans in front 40-27 at the intermission. “They did some things offensively that were definitely giving us problems,” Hostetter said. “We stepped up and asked for some accountability from the guys and emphasized what their strengths are and what they can do and what we have to do to contend with them.” Hostetter said that when the Wildcats play with an unselfish attitude, good things will happen and they did in the second half, starting five quick points to open the third chapter, cutting the Titan lead to eight points. Scheller downed a pair of shots to reopen a 12-point advantage, but a layup by Newman, Koch’s second trey of the night and shot by Ritzert that bounced a bit before going in shaved the gap to eight points as part of a 12-5 Wildcat surge which pulled Mount Vernon to within five points at 49-44. The Titans stretched things back to eight points at 53-45, but the Cats had an answer for that as well, in the form of a 9-2 run that ended the third quarter and cut the lead to 5554. Newman scored off a steal at the outset of the fourth quarter, giving Mount Vernon a 55-54 lead, but that started a cat-and-mouse game where Gibson Southern took the lead, but Mount Vernon kept trying to hang around, just enough to force an extra period. Two Koch free throws gave Mount Vernon the first advantage in overtime, but Scheller answered and more back-and forth ensued, until the end, when the Cats had the ball. “They weren’t moments at the time,” Hostetter said of the last moments of the overtime. “But we’ve got to understand to stay in the moment and as long as there are clicks on the clock, we’ve got an opportunity 2010 LEXUS RX350 AWD ......................................$36,995 2010 LEXUS ES350 4DR ........................................$35,995 2009 LEXUS ES350 FWD .......................................$25,995 2009 LEXUS IS250 AWD ........................................$29,995 2009 LEXUS RX350 AWD ......................................$29,995 2008 LEXUS GS350 AWD ......................................$27,995 2008 LEXUS ES350 4DR ........................................$27,995 2008 LEXUS RX350 AWD ......................................$28,995 2011 LEXUS ES350 ................................................$34,995 2006 LEXUS LS430 4DR.........................................$22,995 2004 LEXUS RX330 ................................................$13,995 2003 LEXUS ES300 FWD .......................................$12,995 2002 LEXUS LX470 AWD.......................................$23,995 2000 LEXUS RX300 AWD ......................................$10,995 2011 HIGHLANDER LIMITED 4X4 .........................$38,995 2010 HIGHLANDER 4X2 ........................................$24,995 2008 SEQUOIA 4X4...............................................$28,995 2008 FJ CRUISER 4X4............................................$25,995 2011 TUNDRA PLATINUM D-CAB ........................$41,995 2010 TUNDRA D-CAB SR5 ....................................$22,995 2008 TUNDRA D-CAB 4X2 ....................................$19,995 2011 TACOMA PRERUNNER D-CAB ....................$26,995 2010 TACOMA SPORT TRD 4X4 ...........................$29,995 2007 TACOMA PRERUNNER D-CAB ....................$22,995 2011 SIENNA .........................................................$24,995 2008 SIENNA XLE..................................................$24,270 2006 SIENNA XLE..................................................$18,995 2011 RAV4 LIMITED FWD .....................................$26,995 2005 TUNDRA 4X2 ................................................$12,995 2004 SIENNA LE VAN............................................$10,995 2004 TACOMA PRERUNNER SR5 D-CAB .............$10,995 2002 SEQUOIA LIMITED 4X4 ................................$11,995
Mount Vernon junior River VanZant had to take the hard route around the Gibson Southern defense on his way to the basket during Friday night’s Homecoming win in overtime. Photo by Terri Koch and we got a chance for a full-court play, but we couldn’t get that to happen. We got it at half-court and had our two best players (Koch and Newman) in there, we made some screens, looked for one of them and Bryce got a clean look.” And when he did, it was “hello Newman”, followed by pandemonium on the court. Unselfishness and looking for a clean look helped Koch spring loose for the game-tying trey, Hostetter added. Ritzert and Collin Varner each scored 10 points to back up Koch and Newman. McNamara added four points and Troy Paris three, while River VanZant tallied one. Nixon paced the Titans (who were coached by former North Posey product Travis Farmer) with 22 points, while Schmitt and Tyler 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY LE .....................................$16,995 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY LE .....................................$16,995 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE ...................................$16,995 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE .....................................$17,995 2006 TOYOTA AVALON LTD. ................................$23,995 2008 TOYOTA SOLARA SLE CONV.......................$23,995 2006 TOYOTA SOLARA CONV. ............................$15,995 2011 TOYOTA COROLLA S ...................................$18,995 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA LE .................................$15,995 2011 SCION TC FWD ............................................$17,995 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID ............................$12,995 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE .....................................$9,995 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY SE .....................................$13,995 2001 TOYOTA CAMRY LE .......................................$5,995 1995 TOYOTA SUPRA ...........................................$22,990 2011 BMW 328I CONV. .........................................$43,995 2010 HONDA ACCORD LX ...................................$19,995 2009 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID................................$17,995 2009 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX AWD .....................$23,995 2008 HARLEY SPORTSTER .....................................$7,495 2008 FORD MUSTANG..........................................$17,995 2008 DODGE CHARGER SE..................................$15,995 2008 VOLKS PASSAT 2.0T .....................................$18,995 2008 BMW 335I CONV. .........................................$38,995 2007 CHEVY HHR LT..............................................$12,995 2007 LINCOLN TOWN CAR SIG. ..........................$17,995 2007 MAZDA RX8 2DR..........................................$18,995 2007 INFINITI M35X 4DR ......................................$21,995 2006 PONTIAC G6 GT 4DR.................................$11,995 2006 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX FWD ......................$11,995 2006 HONDA ACCORD EX 4DR ...........................$15,995 2006 BMW 325I 4DR .............................................$17,995
Ziliak each tallied 11. The Cats made some defensive adjustments in the second half, hoping to take some of the help side away from Gibson Southern’s bigger threats. The feeling that came with the game is the thing Hostetter wants his team to come away with, adding that he wanted the Cats to remember how they got there and what is necessary to be in that position. The Cats warmed up for the game by watching the reserves take down Gibson Southern 31-26 in the preliminary. Colton Irvin paced the team with nine points, while Cody Mobley tallied seven and Jacob Norman put in six. J.T. Doerflein added four points, Levi Shannon three and Levi Duckworth two. 2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING LTD.

fallen behind 35-20 by the end of the third period. “We competed and got good shots but we missed them and that’s nothing new,” Stroud said of his Vikings. “We got to the free throw line but we didn’t shoot well there either, and that’s nothing new either.” Rachel Ungetheim scored the first point for the Lady Vikings in the fourth quarter as she hit the front end of a two-shot foul situation. The crafty freshman then grabbed another steal and got another bucket before picking up her fifth foul at the 5:58 mark of the final period, when it appeared the Vikings might be making a bit of a run. North Posey’s 5-foot-4 point guard Emma Werry grabbed a rebound and stuck in the two free throws on the foul to pull the Vikings back to within 13 at the 5:24 mark. Hannah Harness nailed a 3-pointer at the 3:40 mark to pull the Vikings within 12 at 40-28 but that’s a close as the Vikings would ever get as the teams basically traded baskets for most of the remainder of the contest. “All in all I felt like our effort was great in the second half,” Stroud said of his team’s performance. “They had a chance to just blow our doors off there and we fought back to keep it close enough to where they couldn’t just go out there and do anything they wanted to do.” The Lady Rangers outscored North Posey 6-4 to finish out the final three minutes to gain the 46-32 win.

By Dave Pearce A taste of success which had been enjoyed recently by the North Posey girls’ basketball program came to a halt this week as the Vikings fell to powerful Forest Park and then to always-tough Gibson Southern on Saturday. Against Forest Park, the Vikings had trouble scoring in the early going and fell behind 22-13 at the half. To make matters worse, Forest Park scored the first two baskets of the second half and extended their lead to 26-13 before Haley Harness could find Brianna Perry open to get the Vikings on the second-half scoreboard. The stiffer competition meant that each possession was precious for the Lady Vikings and the shots simply did not fall against the Lady Rangers on Thursday. “We came across a better team than the teams we have been playing,” North Posey Coach Tracy Stroud said after the game. “They have 14 wins and are a good team. When we got in foul trouble early, we had odd line-ups in most of the game and I felt like our kids battled pretty hard.” The Lady Vikings appeared to be working hard for the shots they wanted and were getting them but they simply did not fall against the Rangers. And fould trouble did not go awy either as Perry was whistled for two fouls in four seconds in the third period to further complicate things for Stroud and his Vikings. The Vikings had

“It may have been a little of a step back in terms of wins and losses but our effort was as good in the second half tonight was it was in the win against South Spencer,” Stroud said. “The first half we were not moving as well and we let them drive on us and that shouldn’t have happened. That’s what got us into foul trouble, them driving and dumping off to the ‘bigs’ and then we would foul their bigs. Our big people can’t do much when they have to come out to stop a drive.” The Vikings faced the same problem on Saturday as they faced the Gibson Southern Titans. The Lady Titans took advantage of some cold shooting and early turnovers to build a 12-5 lead after one period that expanded to 2315 at the half. Although the Vikings again turned in a solid effort, the Titans were too deep and too talented and methodically put the Vikings away by a final score of 49-34. “We have a couple of people who are injured and are not 100 percent and that’s not an excuse (for allowing the drives)” Stroud said. “We needed to just give them a little more space but we were trying to play them just like they would have if they were 100 percent and it just doesn’t work that way.” Haley Harness continues to recover from a nagging ankle injury and Perry is suffering from a bruised sternum. “I think Emma Werry is just having a solid game every time out and she is the most consistent player we have,” Stroud said of his guard. “She plays hard and attacks and at 5-4, she’s getting three or four offensive rebounds a game. She has been our rock lately, playing consistent basketball game in and game out. Seems like everyone else is spotty, getting good games here and there. If we could get all five together sometime in the tournament, it could be fun.” Againt the Titans, Werry led the team in scoring with eight while Hayley Harness had seven and Hannah Harness hade five. The Lady Vikings will have this week off to heal and prepare for the sectional. On Sunday evening, the Vikings learned they will face Southridge, a team which moved down from Class 3A this season and is a co-favorite, along with the state’s top-ranked Mater Dei Wildcats. Should the Vikings with the opener, they would face the winner of the Mater Dei-South Spencer match-up. Perry Central drew the bye in the top half of the seventeam sectional held at Forest Park while the host Rangers will face Tell City for a right to face the Commodores in the semi-finals.

Eight Posey wrestlers advance to Regional level By Steve Joos If anyone’s interested, Mater Dei won another Sectional wrestling championship Saturday at Central. But, who cares about that? The thing to remember is that eight Posey County grapplers will make the trip to Castle this weekend for the Regional mat meet. That was the good news. The bad news? Both Mount Vernon coach Tim Alcorn and North Posey mentor John Spencer feels that their charges have had better days than they showed at Central. “Not to par,” Alcorn said of his team’s day. “We left a lot to be desired from today. We could have wrestled better today.” After a Big Eight Conference meet the Mount Vernon coach describes as “amazing,” the Cats had a rough day, even two of the three qualifiers.
All eight wrestled for third and fourth place at Evansville and six of them had to settle for fourth. The bronze medals were claimed by Wildcat 138-pounder John Hoehn (who registered an 11-0 decision over the Vikings’ Michael Friymire in his third-pace contest) and North Posey heavyweight Austin Little, who blanked Sam Mattingly of Memorial to salvage the day for the Vikings. A teammate of Little’s, Seth Elderkin, turned in the upset of the day as he topped Isaac Kemper of Central, the state’s eighthranked 145-pounder in the second round, forcing him into a wrestle back for fifth place. “He (Elderkin) wrestled the Kemper kid from Central,” Spencer explained. “That Isaiah Kemper’s a good wrestler, so that was a big win. I hope (Elderkin) realizes that and realizes that

Hoehn will join his brother Jon and teammate Jordan Dallas as well as five North Posey wrestlers as they advance to the regional competition at Castle next week. Photo by Dave Koch
if he can beat (Kempner), he can beat anybody. He’s got a lot of talent and I’m hoping today will give him some confidence.” In addition to John Hoehn, Adam Hoehn finished fourth at 126 pounds and Jordan Dallas took fourth at 152. “John had a great day,” Alcorn said. “Jordan (Dallas) had some tough competition, we moved him up a weight class, and we thought we had better odds there, Adam Hoehn was caught in a tough weight class. He’s always been in one of the three groups up there. Those three kids have been around the last three years. (Josh) Pierre, (Gideon) Vanhook and (Logan) Wedding have always been right there.” Wedding dropped Adam Hoehn into the third place match and then Pierre finished him off with a 6-2 decision. Dallas also ran into a buzzsaw in the semifinals, falling to Memorial’s Kody Henshaw, and then losing to Logan Folz of Mater Dei in the third place match. Both coaches also feel that their qualifiers may have passed a tougher test in getting out of the Sectional than they will this weekend at Castle. “This Sectional is always the toughest going in,” Alcorn said. “I’ve always felt that if you can get out of this Sectional, you have a better chance of going on to Semistate because our Sectional is so much tougher than the others.” Alcorn expected some of his wrestlers to have good draws and a few to have what he called “uphill’ draws, but he thought the team would be competitive at the Regional.
Spencer thought his team could have wrestled better, but he was also quick to add that five of them are moving on, which is significant for a program where quality has been trumped by quantity (or the lack of) throughout the year. In addition to Elderkin, Little and Frymire, Chris O’Risky (195) and Tyler Stock (113) each finished fourth in their respective weight classes. “We missed some opportunities today,” Spencer said. “But we have five wrestlers moving on. There’s no doubt the best competition’s here, we have wrestled almost everyone out of that other Sectional, and so we know we can beat these guys. We’re going to be paired up with and no matter what seed we are, we’re going to be paired up with kids from that Sectional.” There was some controversy surrounding Stock’s 8-7 loss to Harrison’s Matthew Mastison. Apparently some observers felt that Stock had a near fall on Matison that wasn’t called, but Spencer wouldn’t discuss the matter, other than to say that his grappler lost. Spencer couldn’t really compare his team’s performance to their efforts at the Pocket Athlietic Conference meet, other than pointing out that the Sectional was much tougher than the PAC meet. “We felt better about ourselves (after the PAC),” he said. “But I don’t think we need that to overrule the step up in competition this week.” Like Alcorn, Spencer thought that the kind of competition North Posey faced at Central will help the Vikings at this week-

Matt Wadsworth said after the game. “If you look at the first quarter, you could see that our shots were not falling but our defense was really good. If you look at the tape of the last four weeks, we just play consistently hard. When we don’t make shots, I think we make up for it with our effort.” North Posey finally got on the board with almost two minutes gone as Kyle Swope hit the first of two free throws to get the Vikings on the board. The Vikings were working hard to get open shots that were not falling. That forced the team to work even harder on defense, to keep Princeton from running away from them in the early going. The defensive battle called the first quarter ended with Princeton holding a 6-3 lead. Michael Bender entered the contest at the quarter break to try and get some shots to go but his foul, only 15 seconds into the second period, put the homestanding
Tigers in the bonus situation. The Tigers built the lead to 9-3 before Alec Werry hit a 3-pointer off the break. A serios of good defensive stops allowed the Vikings to stay in it and when Wes harness drove to the basket and was fouled with 4:09 remaining in the first half, his free throw tied the game at nine. The Vikings took their first lead when Harness realized that Princeton would have trouble matching his combination of strength and speed and began taking the ball inside. Two free throws at the 3:41 mark gave the Vikings an 11-9 lead and another Harness drive helped the Vikings to a 13-11 lead with just over three minutes remaining in the first half. The officiating was particularly tough on the young Bender as he was whistled for three fouls in the first six minutes of the second period. The third one allowed a Princeton bucket and free throw to put the Tigers ahead 15-13. But again, Harness would drive and score from the free throw line. On the next trip down, he drew the defense and found teammate Nick Neidig wide open for two points. Alec Beard would score the Vikings’ final two points of the half off a nifty inbounds play to make sure a last-second basket by the Tigers would only tie the score at 19 at the half. The second half would prove to be even more frustrating than the first for Princeton as the Viking defense took the Tigers out of their game. Alec Werry found Jourdan Cox wide open for the first three points of the second half but Princeton answered. Kyle Swope then answered from the top of the key but the Tigers got open in the lane. Werry then scored an oldfashioned three-point play to give North Posey a 28-23 lewad at the 5:30 mark before the Tigers battled back to 28-27. At the 4-minute mark. Werry would again get the traditional 3-point play to put the Vikings ahead 3127. The tigers answered to pull to within 31-29. That’s when the mental portion of the game exposed itself. Nick Neidig came up with a steal and converted two free throws after being pushed from behind on the play. Austin Bender was then fouled but was un-
end’s Regional. O’Risky lost to Blake Brown of Memorial after a day which included a loss to Mater Dei’s undefeated Dane Maurer, the state’s fifth-ranked 195-pounder. Nine county grapplers wrestled for fifth and sixth place at Central, four of whom finished fifth. Dane Wilson (106) won his consolation meet, as did North Posey’s Gary Martin (152), who pinned Jesse Ivy of Bosse in 48 seconds. Two other Wildcats were awarded their matches because of injury defaults, including Payton Whoberry (132) and Stephen Blanford (170). Julian Suar (113), Luke Rohlman (120) and Luke
Ripple (195) each finished sixth, as did Michael Rynkiewich (160), who forfeited to Andy Wimpleberg of Reitz on an injury default. In addition to Martin, Jordan Frymire competed in the consolation round, finishing sixth at 126 pounds. The two teams went 6-7 in the team standings, with Mount Vernon outpointing North Posey 84-81 for sixth. Mater Dei scored 268 and one-half points to win the Sectional, with Reitz (216) in second place. Memorial (209) was third, followed by North (106) and Central (105 and one half). Harrison was seventh with 79 points, while Bosse (22) rounded out the field.

But on the trip back down the floor, one of the Princeton players shoved Neidig out of his path but it was right in front of the official who immediately called the intentional foul. Neidig hit the two free throws and the Vikings led 35-29 with 2:30 to go in the period before Princeton called time out. Out of the time out, the Tigers were called for an offensive foul that negated a bucket and Harness was again fouled on a drive. He converted to give the Vikings a 37-29 lead. After another Tiger empty trip. Swope spotted up from the corner and buried a 3-pointer. That’s when it got even more ugly. A personal foul was called as Neidig drove and was quickly followed by a technical foul on the Princeton player who fouled him. That was followed by a technical foul on the Princeton head coach. The Vikings were awarded six free throws as Neidig hit the two on the personal, Werry hit the two on the first technical and one of two on the second technical. The lead had vaulted from 4029 to 45-29 with no time elapsed from the clock and the technical also gave the ball to the Vikings for the final possession of the period. “Early in the game we looked flustered with their pressure defense. We talked about it during the jayvee game and they were really pressuring the ball and we talked at half-time of the varsity game that there is a mental component of the game in how you respond to the pressure and how you react,” Wadsworth said. “We responded in a physical manner in that we played the role of the aggressor rather than the guy getting abused.” Facing a 16-point deficit heading into the final period,
the Tigers turned up the heat even more but each time, the Vikings had an answer. Princeton scored first only to have Cox answer with a 3-point play. The teams traded baskets and fouls as Swope found Cox for another 3-point play and the Vikings took their largest lead of the night at 54-35 when Neidig snagged a rebound and was fouled with 4:23 remaining. The Princeton faithful were up in arms and to say the Vikings were in a hostile environment could have been an understatement. “That’s what makes it fun.” Wadsworth said with a smile. “It was a big crowd in an old gym and that’s what basketball is like and is supposed to be and we embraced it tonight.” The Vikings have dubbed themselves the “Road Warriors.” “We realized that in that first half of the season, we didn’t win on the road,” Wadsworth said. “We are making a concentrated effort to pay harder on the road games and to stick together more when we play road games.” The abundance of fouls and foul trouble could spell dividends down the road for the Vikings as the bench continues to deepen and the combinations on the floor continue to multiply. “The last few weeks, we have had to play a lot of different line-ups and that benefitted us tonight,” Wadsworth said. Both teams shot an abundance of free throws with the Vikings hitting 30 of 39 while the Tigers hurt themselves, hitting only 13-of-24 from the line. The Vikings will host Pocket Athletic Conference rival Southridge on Saturday night, with the reserve game beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Rappites leave it all on the floor in emotional pair of wins
New Harmony’s Kyle Whitmore looks for an open shot as he has been the focal point of most defenses in Rappite contests this season. Photo by Dave Pearce By Steve Joos The last home girls’ basketball game in the history of New Harmony high school was memorable for all the right reasons. Four Lady Rappites hit double figures, led by Kendall Morris’ 15 points, as New Harmony rolled over visiting Cannelton 53-35 in the first game of a boy-girl doubleheader. ‘’This was an amazing night for everyone,” coach Jennifer Toopes said. “The boys also won. The girls knew it was their last home game and gave it all they had.” The Lady Rappites gave
it their all in avenging an earlier 10-point loss at Cannelton. They took a 14-9 lead after the first quarter and never looked back, stretching the advantage to 33-24 at halftime and 37-27 after a very low-scoring (4-3) third chapter. Morris converted five of seven free throw tries, cleared four rebounds and had an assist, but it was Kelsey Owen who Toopes said stole the show, scoring 14 points with eight of 11 from the charity stripe. She also pulled down 23 caroms, 19 of them on the defensive end. “That was why Cannelton
didn’t get any second shots to score,” Toopes said. “Morgan Matthews and (Owen) each had double double games again (Matthews put in 10 points and grabbed 11 boards). They are always smaller than the other team (Matthews is five-foot-four inches, while Owen is fiveeight), but most of the time, they always outrebound them.” They also helped outscored the Lady Bulldogs from the stripe. Matthews dropped in eight of nine free tosses as New Harmony dropped in 25 of 33 free throws. Madison Worman added 14 points and had two of each (rebounds, assists and steals, that is). Alyssa Scherzinger and Kendall Wilson each pulled down a rebound. “Kendall Wilson is earning more playing time and really stepping up,” Toopes said. “She is a freshman and gaining confidence every game. This gains depth to our team and will help a lot for Sectionals.” Normally, Friday’s game would have been senior night, but there are no seniors on the Lady Rappites’ roster this season. It was still an emotional evening, as it was the last home girls’ game in the schools’ history. The gym was packed and alumni were recognized on the court by decade and each member of the girls’ squad was presented with a flower, balloon and picture at halftime of the boys’ game. “It was the last home game ever to be played in Rappite blue,” Toopes said. “So we announced the entire team and it was very emotional for everyone. There wasn’t a dry eye in the gym.” Sarah Powers paced the Lady Bulldogs with 14 points, while Allison Lawlin added 11, as she buried three of Cannelton’s six threepointers. Morris scored 18 points and Worman was perfect on all 10 of her free throw tries Saturday as the Lady Rappites overcame a taller, more physical Christian Academy of Indiana team 56-50, at
New Albany. “The game got very aggressive in the second half,” Toopes said. “We stayed focused and pulled the game out in the end with our free throws.” The Lady Rappites downed 22 of 30 from the stripe, including 13 of 16 in the fourth quarter to salt away their 13th win of the season. Morris hit five of six from the line in the last 1:30 to put things away. Worman finished with 16 points on the night, while Matthews tallied 13 and Owen nine, giving New Harmony four of five players in double figures. The Lady Rappites jumped out to a 22-7 lead and pushed it to 19 at halftime, 38-19, but a 20-6 third quarter run pulled ICA to within five after three quarters, 44-39. Scherzinger didn’t score, but played a great defensive game, accoriding to Toopes. Wilson, Kaitlin Newman and Jessica Deckard-Mills also came off the bench to help in a physical contest which saw three Lady Rappites (Owen, Worman and Matthews) foul out. Jourdan Lyke has been released from her doctor after missing the last six weeks due to a knee injury. Toopes said that the junior would be rejoining the team in time for Saturday’s regular season finale at McLean County. On Sunday evening, the Lady Rappites learned they will face Cannelton again, this time for all the marbles in the opening round of the Class A Sectional played at Wood Memorial. The host Trojans will face Tecumseh in the other first-round game with the two winners meeting for the championship of the four-team sectional. •On a bittersweet night for New Harmony, the boys’ basketball teams gave a little more sweetness to the fans. The Rappites outscored the visiting Cannelton Bulldogs 24-6 in the fourth quarter Friday night, wiping out a seven-point deficit and lifting New Harmony to a 63-52 victory and a sweep of their boy-girl doubleheader.
New Harmony’s Madison Worman brings the ball up the court against the Bulldogs. The Lady Rappites will face Cannelton again in the first round of the Wood Memorial sectional. Photo by Dave Pearce It was an emotional night for both the boys’ and girls’ teams, as the Lady Rappites opened the evening with the last home girls’ game in the school’s history, which took place before a packed gym which included alumni from throughout New Harmony’s history. The girls were honored at halftime of the boys’ game, but things didn’t look all that promising for the boys in blue, as the Rappites trialed 24-21 at the intermission. That gap had been bigger after the opening quarter (149) and got deeper entering the final chapter (46-39) before the Rappites were able to overtake the Bulldogs in the final chapter.
Clint Matthews paced New Harmony with 15 points, while Elliott Lange tallied 12 in helping New Harmony shake off Brandon Cook’s game-high 20 points and seven Cannelton three-pointers (the Rappites squeezed off five from long range) for its third win of the season. Kyle Whitmore and A.J. Eaton each put in nine tallies, while Thomas Steagall added two points and Caleb McDaniel one. Bert Kellems added 13 points for the Bulldogs. The news wasn’t as good for the Rappites Saturday, when they traveled to New Albany and came up on the short end of a 79-34 score.

The North Posey Junior High eighth grade boys’ basketball team wrapped up its regular season last week. That’s about all one can say, as the Viking eighth graders went into the post season winless in 14 tries. The eighth graders wrapped up their regular season with a 46-22 loss at Owensville. Austin Graves scored six points to lead the eighth grade Vikings, who fell behind 11-4 after the first quarter and never recovered. The score was 23-10 at halftime and North Posey was outscored 10-1 in the third chapter. Tyler Whaley and Logan Willman each scored four points, while Grant Scheller added three. Connor Voegel and Jacob McLain each tallied two points, while Josh Cooke put in one. •The North Posey eighth grade girls’ basketball team went out on a winning note last week, posting a win before entering Middle School Pocket Athletic Conference tournament play. The eighth graders went into tournament play on the strength of a 39-21 win over Owensville in their regular season finale. Celeste Hill led North Posey with 10 points, while Lorin Willis added seven. Shelbi Newcomer and Maddie Pfister each put in six points.

Lady Cats run away from Marksmen, fight for win over Warriors 29-21. So just what did the Lady Cats do in order to turn things around after the intermission? “We went to the half-court trap,” Mitchell explained. “That seemed to pick us up a bit. We got some steals and that led to baskets. I think it just helped up loosen up and get back in the game.” Foster scored to open the period, cutting the deficit to six points, but the Lady Warriors dropped in three more, stretching the advantage to 32-23 before Mount Vernon started its comeback, answering Harrison’s 13-4 second quarter rampage with a 17-5 tear in the third chapter, highlighted by a 15-2 run which put Mount Vernon up 3834. Megan Randall started the big rally with a 15-footer, and then followed that by converting a three-point play with 4:56 left in the period. Foster’s bucket cut the gap to 32-30 and Ritzert rolled in a rebound to square things at 32-32 after to two teams stalled defensively for over two minutes, A putback by Randall gave Mount Vernon its first lead of the half, but Woodruff tied the game at 34-34 on Harrison’s next trip down the floor. But on their next possession, Shelby Ritzert gave the lead back to the Lady Cats, and this time, Mount Vernon held on for good. Roberts’ bucket put the Lady Wildcats in front by four points at the break, and then two free throws by Foster and a layup by Shelby Ritzert opened a 42-36 bulge early in the final chapter. There were times in the fourth quarter where the Lady Warriors didn’t seem to go away because Mount Vernon didn’t seem to let them. Five unanswered points let Harrison climb back to within a point at 42-41 as the Lady Cats committed a pair of untimely turnovers, one on a pass which went out of bounds and another on a mishandled ball. The Lady Wildcats were able to stretch the lead back to six points, but six missed free throws over the last two minutes made things a little too interesting. as Harrison closed to within four before Megan Randall downed one of two charity tosses with 5.3 ticks left on the clock to make the final score 54-49. Shelby Ritzert stepped up when her big sister started to have foul trouble, scoring eight points, while Megan Randall added eight points, Foster nine and Stemple four. Mitchell was once again pleased with the contributions of his bench. “Our bench, Charlotte (Roberts) got her first start tonight and did a good job, Shelby Ritzert and Rachel Cash came off the bench and did a good job,” Mitchell said. “All our

Then, the visiting Lady Warriors seemed ing up after the Lady Cats had scored the first 10 points of the game. to have the upper hand.

starters did a good job. It was that one little stretch, about a four-, five-, or six-minute stretch in the second quarter that bothered us. We had some people in different positions on the press-breaker because of the injuries. That could have been a little bit of it and we really hadn’t been pressed for a awhile. That was good for us, we’ll look at the tape and try to learn from it.” Not having the guards closer to the lanes on the trapping zone and some trouble handling the clock led to some of the team’s trouble late in the game, Mitchell said, adding that the team would be working on those things and that they did get a win over a Class 4A school with a winning record, so the Lady Cats would take it. The Lady Cats also had to shake off Copeland’s game-high 21 points and 13 from Kolaiah Hawkins. Harrison had the preliminary pretty much under control, as the Lady Warrior Reserve won 36-12. Abby Randall and Cheyenne Strobel each scored four points to pace the Lady Wildcat reserves, while Stefanie Bulla added two. Erin Wolf and Kaysie Collins each scored one. • It was Ritzert day at Mount Vernon Saturday. Jacey Ritzert pumped in 12 points to lead three Lady Wildcats in double figures and Shelby Ritzert had her best day as a varsity player with eight as Mount Vernon slugged visiting Tell City 52-23. The Lady Cats broke things open by outscoring the Lady Marksmen 34-3 in the second and third quarters, blanking the visitors 18-0 in the third chapter. A 16-3 run in the second period turned a 12-11 cliffhanger after the first chapter into a 28-14 halftime advantage for the Lady Cats. It was 46-14 after Mount Venron finished whitewashing the Lady Marksmen in the third period. Megan Randall added 11 points and Roberts 10 for the Lady Cats, who are now 15-4 on the season. Foster added nine points and Cash two. Logan Flannigan paced the Lady Marksmen with nine points. Mount Vernon also took the reserve game 38-33. In Sunday evening’s sectional draw, the Lady Wildcats learned that they will face the winner of the Gibson Southern-Princeton opener as they drew one of two byes in the six-team tournament held at Boonville. In the opposite bracket, the host Pioneers will face Bosse in the opener for the right to face Memorial in the semi-finals. The Lady Tigers also drew the bye.

2011 School Corporation Annual Performance Report General Explanations
Explanation of School Corporation (District) Data (see chart I)
This is a report on the performance of schools and school corporations (districts) in your area. The goal is to give you information to tell you what progress schools are making to help students learn more. There are additional indicators that are available to you on the Indiana Department of Education’s Web site (www.doe.in.gov/data), including data broken out by different student subgroups, such as race, gender, income level and special education.
The follow ing indicators show you the performance of your school corporation. Where possible, you w ill see three years of data so you can see the trends — not just this year’s results. For m any indicators, you can see how your school corporation’s data com pare to the state average.
The data in this report have been supplied by the Indiana Department of Education and local school corporations. The report provides the most recent data available. Indiana educators and citizens have developed higher academic standards for all students. These standards are necessary to prepare Indiana students to be successful in life, whether they go directly to higher education or to the workplace. The scores for ISTEP+ are listed under each school to reflect student progress toward those standards. For high schools, you also will see graduation rates and the percentage of graduates who plan to go on to college. Other important information is provided, such as average attendance rates and indicators of school safety, including expulsio ns and suspensions. Also included is information about your school corporation, such as how much is spent, on average, for each student; how much teachers are paid; and the percentage of corporation students who are in special education classes or gifted and talented classes. The financial expenditure classifications have been changed for this report. Although corresponding changes have been made to 2007-2008 data to support comparisons, the 2008-2009 data may be the more appropriate baseline moving forward. If you have any questions about this information, you should contact your local school corporation or contact the Department o f Education at 317-232-6622 or by e-mail at apr@doe.in.gov

young guards,” Mitchell said. “We got some points off our defense, which is the way we like to play.” Since Mount Vernon doesn’t have much size, the team has to play a strong transition game and let their defense generate offense. And that’s what happened, as the Lady Wildcats took advantage of Tecumseh’s inexperience for the early lead and then stretched it to 34-14 in the second quarter before the Lady Braves drained consecutive three-pointers to make the halftime score 35-20. In the third quarter, Mount Vernon opened with an 8-2 run which made the score 4322. It was 47-28 entering the last eight minutes. The Lady Cats pulled the press off after the first quarter, but went to an attacking style which hampered Tecumseh’s 1-3-1 zone. They also did just about everything well for Mount Vernon
By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon girls’ basketball team got a big win Tuesday and one of its key players made history in the process. The Lady Cats jumped out to a 19-9 lead after the first quarter and took it from there to pound visiting Tecumseh 64-34, and Jacey Ritzert broke into the top 10 all-time among Mount Venon scorers, while leading a balanced attack with 14 tallies. “That’s a big plus for (Ritzert),” coach Steve Mitchell said. “We’re really excited for her and she’s going to continue to move up. She has another year-and-ahalf to go to move up even further.” Ritzert had a good night and the rest of the Lady Cats stuck to the gameplan that has been successful over much of the season to pull away from the Lady Braves. “Our pressure got to their
against a Tecumseh squad that Mitchell complimented for playing hard despite being undermanned. The win was Mount Vernon’s third straight after a series of rough outings on the road. Mitchell said that the team is playing better and has its confidence back. He was also pleased with the contributions from the team’s reserve players. Jade Dixon scored 11 points before suffering a stretched meniscus on a layup early in the second quarter. Lauren Stemple added nine points, Megan Randall eight and Amy Seifert seven. Charlotte Roberts put in six points, Shelby Ritzert five and Ellen Foster four. Auriel Tribble and Katie Burkett each scored 12 points to lead Tecumseh. Shelby Ritzert scored nine points in the preliminary, leading the Lady Wildcat reserves to a 27-16 victory.

New Harmony Town & Twp Con Sch New Harmony School FY2011 Goals for Expenditure Categories Increases in the student instructional expenditure categories of (1) student academic achievement and (2) student instructional support are not possible due to the unique circumstance that the New Harmony School Corporation has experienced a decline in enrollment over the past five years. Because of this, the teaching staff was reduced at the end of the 2006-2007 school year. The corporation has switched to the state health insurance plan saving both the corporation and the staff money. The corporation is leasing a room to the Head Start Program thus bringing in more revenue. This has overall made the corporation more efficient. The New Harmony School Corporation will continue to seek ways to decrease spending in the expenditure categories of (3) overhead and operational expenditures and (4) nonoperational by always seeking competitive pricing for all supplies purchased for the building, transportation and food services. The corporation will work with area corporations on purchases and services. The corporation has installed a two-boiler system during the summer of 2007. The design of the system and the efficiency of the boilers has resulted in energy savings. The corporation is working with a control system to monitor energy use in both the heating and cooling systems. Energy efficient lighting has been installed during the spring of 2008. The corporation has decreased the number of miles the buses travel on regular routes. The corporation has paid off all debts on the building. The corporation continues to study ways to save on costs in every spending area. Published in the Posey County News on January 31, 2012

Thompson Family spreads the message, create children’s book For several years, Point Township native Bryan Thompson has spread the Gospel message to adults through ministries of Point Township Church of the Nazarene. Now, he’s packaged that message for children in a rhyme patterned after Dr. Seuss’s “Green Eggs and Ham.” Thompson is celebrating the recent release of his new Christian children’s, “The Great I Am.” He will host a book signing on Saturday, February 11, to coincide with a benefit luncheon at The Gathering, 512 W. Fourth Street in Mount Vernon. All proceeds from the benefit luncheon will aid four-yearold Mac Yeida, on daily dialysis and awaiting a kidney transplant at Riley’s Hospi p Children Hospital, Indianapolis. Food and fun will be served starting
at 11 a.m. Inspiration for his book came one day when Thompson was complaining in prayer and suddenly realized the bounty of God’s goodness. “The Great I Am” tells the story of complaining turned to rejoicing. The book may be purchased online at www.authorhouse. com , or locally at The Gathering and from the author, who welcomes inquiries at 838-0966 or at his email address, bthompson72@wowway.com. Soon the book will be available electronically for iPad and Nook also. The illustrations as well as the rhyme are all Thompson’s creation. Still, he expresses gratitude to his supporters in the two-year project. Daughters Cassie p to color the illustraillustra and Emma helped tions while his wife Ashley and sister Tonya Cox did the formatting for publication. Brother-in-law Robbie Cox is
promoting the book now with several organizations. The depth of God’s love has often been the focus of the adult Sunday school class Thompson and has taught for the past seven years at Point Township Church of the Nazarene. Likewise, the lesson is understood at the church’s weekly Tuesday evening meetings of Beyond the Walls, where people learn to move forward in a positive direction with their lives. Bryan is an employee at Countrymark while Ashley works at circuit court. They have just recently celebrated nine years of marriage. The working parents created a blended family of four children pictured above. The front row features, left to right, Emma and Levi. In the back row left of her parents is Cassie; right of his parents, Luke.
