Linden Richard Hill

Ice cream social set

By Dave Pearce An autopsy was conducted last week on the body recovered from Fligeltaub Metal Recycling Company on Monday.

The cause and manner of death is pending toxicology. Preliminary autopsy results indicate no signs of foul play. Investigating officers with the Indiana State Police, Posey County Sheriff’s Department, Mount Vernon Police and Vanderburgh County Coroner’s Office are still investigating the identification of the person found.

Officers are hoping to make a positive identification after a dental examination.

“It’s a mummified body that’s been deceased for quite some time.” says Vanderburgh County

Coroner Annie Groves.

Groves says the person has been dead for over two years. Wednesday Groves and her team found a tattoo on the body that led them to a missing Mount Vernon man who had been missing since 2008.

“The height matched. The age matched. And how long he’s been missing matched.” says Groves.

Officials cannot release the person’s identity until DNA tests are done. However, according to information found in missing persons reports, several things coordinate with a person missing in Mount Vernon since 2008.

Eighteen-year-old Linden Richard Hill went missing from Mount Vernon in November 2008. His whereabouts since then have been

Poseyville Officials Accept Community Development Grant at Statehouse: State Sen. Jim Tomes (R-Wadesville) presents a certificate of congratulations to Poseyville volunteer firemen and town councilmen upon receiving a Community Development Block Grant for a new rescue truck. “Posey County is one of 16 in Indiana that does not have a local hospital,” Tomes said. “In fact, the closest

hospital is 50 minutes away. That means the local firefighters are usually the first responders on scene in the event of an emergency. The $150,000 will help ensure they can continue to assist those in need.” Pictured from left to right are: volunteer firemen Chris Neaveill and Michael Crawford; Tomes; town councilmen Steve Ahrens, Bruce Baker and Ron Fallowfield.

Suspect in Posey theft arrested in Kentucky

Kenneth Wayne Kee believed to be driver of truck stolen in New Harmony

By Dave Pearce An arrest in Louisville, Ky., apparently has strong ties to a theft in Posey County.

A man who was the object of a manhunt that began on Thursday evening after he fled when officers attempted to pull over his truck, was caught early Friday in southwest Jefferson County in Louisville, Ky. Kenneth Wayne Kee, 34, of Louisville, was found at a residence in the 16000 block of Abbotts Beach Road off of Dixie Highway about 4:45 a.m. Friday and taken into custody without incident, said Alicia Smiley, a Louisville Metro Police spokeswoman.

According to Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth, “This is believed to be the individual who was driving the truck which was stolen from north of New Harmony, Ind., recently. This was the truck that was taken along with a trailer that contained two motorcycles.”

Kentucky authorities recovered the truck last Friday, after they chased this individual in the truck. At that time he fled the scene on foot, leaving the truck behind, according to Oeth.

Kee has been charged with first-degree fleeing and evading, and wanton endangerment in the incident.

There also was a warrant out for his arrest on a charge of receiving stolen property over $10,000.

Kee was spotted during surveillance of a home in the 8200 block of Virginia Road in Pleasure Ridge

Park about 5:45 p.m. Thursday and then left the residence in a Ford F-350, Smiley said.

Police would not elaborate Friday about why the house on Virginia Road was under surveillance.

When officers tried to pull over the truck, which allegedly was stolen from Clarksville, Ind., the vehicle went eastbound on West Pages Lane and then headed south on Dixie Highway leading officers in a lowspeed pursuit that ended when the truck turned onto Stites Station Road.

Police said shortly after that, Kee and a passenger, identified as Janna Chandler, 30, of Floyds Knobs, Ind., fled on foot into a wooded area, Smiley said.

Metro police air and K-9 units, as well as authorities from Bullitt County, state police and the U.S. Army Department of Defense from Fort Knox, were called to assist in the search.

Chandler was taken into custody by the K-9 unit and suffered a K-9 dog bite and abrasions from fleeing through some brush, police said. She was taken to University Hospital. She has been charged with second-degree fleeing and evading, receiving stolen property over $10,000 and criminal mischief, Smiley said.

Officers searched for Kee into Friday morning until

unknown.

Chris Mosby, a cousin of Linden Hill, says Hill’s brother has been contacted for DNA in connection with the body found at Fligeltaub’s scrap metal yard.

Groves says DNA tests take about three to four weeks. The Coroners Office is also seeking the person’s dental records before officially identifying him.

Foul play has been ruled out of the investigation, though the cause of death is still being determined.

Groves hopes toxicology reports will reveal the man’s cause of death. She says this is the first time she has needed the assistance of an anthropologist in several years, due to the condition of the body.

Rural Mount Vernon man charged with home arson

By Dave Pearce A young Mount Vernon man remains lodged in the Posey County Jail after being charged last week with arson.

According to a police report, 18year-old Brent Jackson apparently attempted to set fire to the home of his father and stepmother sometime during the night of July 9.

According to a probable cause affadavit, Posey County Chief Deputy Sheriff Melvin Buchanan responded to a mischief complaint Jackson around 6 a.m. on July 10, 2011. Buchanan spoke with L.B. Jackson, the owner of the residence at 1801 Holler Road in Mount Vernon.

Jackson stated that he believed his 18-year-old son, Brent, had attempted to burn the house down, then drove a Chevy Suburban into the cornfield where it became stuck, and then rode away on a bicycle.

Posey County Deputy Thomas Latham received permission to go to the Jackson’s home and photograph the scene. The elder agreed to have his wife, Bonnie Jackson, meet Latham. Latham recorded what appeared to be burn marks on the hallway flooring and carpet. He also noted a red, five-gallon plastic gas can without its nozzle near the front steps.

According to the report, the hallway carpeting had been taken from the home and placed outside near a tree. Bonnie Jackson told Latham that the smell of gasoline and smoke was too strong to leave the carpeting inside.

Latham took samples of the hallway flooring and carpet to put in evidence.

The report stated that Bonnie told Latham her step-son Brent had spent Saturday night with them but

Maggie Rapp honored by ACSI as Arts Advocate of Year

By Pam Robinson New Harmony native Maggie Rapp will be honored in September by the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana as 2011 Arts Advocate of the Year. This award recognizes an individual or organization that has provided service, leadership and substantial support to the arts.

Rapp was chosen for her work on behalf of fellow artists, for her dedication to the arts community in Posey County and for her time as a volunteer for activities of the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana that promote artists and art education.

One of Rapp’s proudest achievements is her part in contributing to art education for children in the

ThePCN

area. Since taking over as the Hoosier Salon New Harmony Gallery director, she has worked to develop the Hoosier Salon Children’s Art Program.

The major emphasis of the program is the summer art program that includes a three-day Art Day Camp for children ages 6 through 8. This year 26 area children participated in the event held at Murphy Park Shelter House. The second part is a two-day Watercolor Workshop for ages 9 through 12, which had 17 children enrolled this summer. Along with Rapp, artists and educators Robert Pote, Carlene VanLaningham and Sherri Rapp develop the curriculum for the classes and work with the children

alongside numerous volunteers.

In addition to the summer programs, the Hoosier Salon also hosts a Children’s Doll Tea Party and has “Make and Take” art projects at Kunstfest and Christmas in New Harmony.

In October 2010, the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana, funded by Robert Lee Blaffer Foundation Arts in Education Initiative, coordinated a special project to bring literature and art to the nearly 300 second graders in nine Posey County schools. Rapp developed an art project to go along with an award winning children’s book and made an in-school visitation to all of the second grade classrooms.

There, she read the book to the

class after which each child decorated a bucket and received a copy of the book.

Rapp, along with Sue Wassmer and Jamie Rasure, were instrumental in starting the “Art Mill” at the Feed Mill Restaurant in Poseyville.

The exhibition space is housed in the banquet room and gives another venue for local artists to get their work before the public. The three women are responsible for planning and hanging the exhibits that change quarterly.

Rapp has had a life-long love of art. As a child she loved to draw and spent much of her free time sketching. As a young girl, she

office in New Harmony,” Pearce explained. “But we have such a good following in the northern end of the county and we wanted to have a convenient location for people to drop off special announcements and a place where local people can come to take care of local business. It seems only fair that we should have such an office for the people in northern Posey County.”

The Mount Vernon office will be changed to a drop-off point located inside Guilty Pleasures in Mount Vernon. The office which was located next door to Floors and Walls will close at month’s end. Pam Robinson will continue to be the assistant editor. Pam lives in Mount Vernon with her husband Jim and daughter, Jessica.

“Cindy (Smith, Floors and Walls owner) has been incredibly nice to us during the past year and we appreciate her allowing us to rent space in her building to help establish a better presence in Mount Vernon,” Pearce explained. “But our office manager there, Tammy Bergstrom, accepted a full time position back in her area of expertise and she would have been difficult to replace.”

In a conversation with Sheila Schwindel, owner of the Guilty Pleasures Store in Mount Vernon, she agreed that it would be a win-win situation for residents of southern Posey County to be able to drop off important notices or place ads while visiting the store formerly known as

Frances Wehr Flowers in the 900 block of East Fourth Street. The phone number there is 838-2441.

A news stand will be placed just outside the main entrance.

“This newspaper sincerely belongs to the people of Posey County,” Pearce explained.

“That’s why it is called the Posey County News. We need to make it as accessible as possible to everyone in the county. Email and telephone help but it is always nice to have a place where you can walk in and see a friendly face. That seems to be a lost art in a society such as we live.”

Pearce concluded by saying that the success of the three Posey County offices depends on how much the people in the three areas are willing to take advantage of a local office.

“While many of the large newspapers seem to have their backs against the wall because they are competing against the Internet and television news, community newspapers continue to thrive because they are usually the only source of complete news, especially in rural areas,” Pearce said. “We are going to do our best to make sure we continue to do our part of covering local events. As long as we receive community support, we will be able to continue to bring our readers a weekly newspaper. We trust that support will be there for many years to come. Our longevity depends on that support.”

Pearce lives with his wife, Connie, in Poseyville, about six blocks from the new office.

A part of the reason for Mt. Vernon’s River Days Festival is to remember the rich historic heritage enjoyed by the Ohio River town, which will celebrate its 200th birthday in 2016. Again this year at Sherburne Park on the Riverfront will be a wide variety of Historical Demonstrations that will interest young and old, alike.

Visitors will have the opportunity to see a basket weaver, a broom maker, a rope maker, someone making old-fashioned soap, candles and butter. There will be quilters, knitters, and corn stalk dolls being made on site.

There will be displays and demonstrations of frontier knifemaking, along with powder horns. A display of gourds will

be of interest as the history and uses of these utilitarian garden items are explained. Long-riflemen and at least two Civil War demonstrators will be on hand for the three-day festival.

Next to General Hovey’s Field Headquarters, a field hospital tent, the kind used for wounded Civil War soldiers, will be set up.

Marsha King is chairman of the Historical Demonstrations event. Further information is available from Mrs. King at 5895651.

These Historical Demonstrations are just some of the interesting attractions that will be available to visitors at Mt. Vernon’s River Days Festival, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, September 9, 10 and 11.

Rapp honored, from Page 1A went to the home of a neighbor who was an artist and learned the skill of oil painting while sitting on the neighbor’s front porch. But since oil paint and canvas were expensive, she had to restrict herself to pencil sketches, charcoal and colored chalk during those early years. As a result, Rapp excels at draftsmanship and realism in her art. As she has matured as an artist, she has come to appreciate the art of impressionism and attempts to capture the essence of her subject by painting the effects of light on an object or scene using both oils and watercolors.

After graduating from college, Rapp taught high school math and science at North Posey until 2003 while experimenting with oil painting, pastel portraits, tole painting and various creative crafts. Two of her paintings, The Old Vanderburgh Courthouse and The Posey County Courthouse, are part of a permanent collection of the ninety-two county

After being accepted to numerous juried exhibits of the Indiana Watercolor Society, Rapp was inducted as a Signature Member in 2010. Also in 2010 she received 1st Place in the District I Fine Arts Division and in 2011 was the winner of 2nd place at the State Convention of Kappa Kappa Kappa, Inc for one of her watercolor paintings.

She and her husband, Ernie, reside in New Harmony, but spend winters at their Florida home in Fort Myers.

Halloween and Valentine’s Day were in; the color of Latham’s shirt; and the color of Brent’s shirt.

According to the report, Latham then asked Brent if he meant to harm anyone in his father’s house, and he said no. When asked if he meant to start a fire, Brent said yes. Latham asked if Brent knew lighting gas would start a fire, and he said yes.

Latham asked if Brent was mad at anyone in the home, and he said no. Latham then asked why Brent started the fire, and Brent said he didn’t know where his mind was at.

When Latham asked if Brent knew that people could be hurt by lighting the fire, Brent responded yes, and he didn’t know where his mind was at. Latham asked Brent if he knew what happened when people died, and he said you never see them again. Latham asked if Brent had a driver’s license and if he is allowed to drive, to which Brent stated no.

The report states, Brent said he woke up in the morning when the sun was up and ate a bowl of corn flakes in the kitchen. Brent stated he went outside and got a red gas can from the back of his dad’s truck and removed the nozzle so it would pour bet-

ter. Brent said he dumped the gas in the hallway near his dad and stepmom’s bedroom.

Brent stated he lit an old sock with his dad’s lighter and threw the sock on the gas in the hallway, and he said the gas caught fire. Brent said he then walked outside where he got into the suburban and backed it into the cornfield. Brent said the suburban was stuck in the field.

Brent stated he took his bicycle and rode it to his mom’s house in Evansville. Latham asked if Brent had talked to anyone about the fire, and he said no.

According to the report, Latham then drove to Brent’s mom’s address at 916 Park St. in Evansville to speak with Brent.

Latham asked Brent if he knew why he was there, and Brent responded because I burned my dad’s house.

Latham asked him how he burned it, and he replied he dumped gas and lit it. Latham asked where he got the gas, and Brent said from the back of his dad’s truck. Latham then asked what he did when he got the gas, and Brent stated he went to the hallway by his mom and dad’s room and dumped gas on the floor and then lit it. Brent said he then went outside and backed the truck up so far, it got stuck in the cornfield. Brent stated he went home on his bicycle.

The report states that Latham then took Brent to the Posey County Sheriff’s Office where he performed an interview. He asked Brent if he could read and write, to which he responded he could not read. Latham read the Miranda Warning to Brent, and Brent indicated he understood and signed the waiver.

River Days group seeks flood photos Each year the Mount Vernon River Days Festival has as its purpose to bring attention to the special privilege residents, neighbors and friends share in enjoying and being witness to the wonders of living on the banks of the Ohio River.

Of course, there are all kinds of “wonders” that this opportunity affords; and this year, with the river’s third highest crest, 51.8 feet, folks were reminded of the awesome power of the Ohio.

With memories of the 2011 Flood fresh on minds of area residents, the 75th anni-

versary of the “Big Flood” in 1937, when the crest reached 59.2 feet, will be commemorated at this year’s Mount Vernon River Days event set for September 9, 10 and 11.

In 1937, the river inundated a lot of mid-America, including Mount Vernon.

The water lapped at the steps of the Eagles’ building on Water Street and surrounded the water treatment plant.

Up and down the Ohio, from Johnstown to New Orleans, the “Beautiful Ohio” showed its power and might.

Becky Higgins, Vice Chair of the River Days Commit-

tee, is collecting 1937 Flood photographs and other memorabilia to be featured in an exhibit that will take place at the 2011 festival.

Anyone who has pictures or collectible items from the 1937 flood that they are willing to share in his exhibit is asked to contact Higgins at 204-7388 or see her at Printcrafters, 304 W. Fourth Street in Mount Vernon.

Larry Williams is Chairman of this year’s River Days, with Kay Kilgore as Chairman of Events and Entertainment and Nancy Hoehn in charge of Food Booths.

COM COMMUNITY MM MUNITY

APL to host Historic Mount Vernon

In conjunction with Mount Vernon River Days, the Alexandrian Public Library will be holding an exhibition of photographs celebrating of Historic Mount Vernon. The exhibit which features images taken before 1940, will be Friday, September 9, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, September 10, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. & Sunday, September 11, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The exhibit area will be in the Alexandrian Public Library meeting rooms.

As the saying goes, ‘A picture is worth a thousand words’, but sometimes a photograph remains the soul silent testament to a moment otherwise lost to history. We point our cameras, shoot, and move on so quickly we hardly give thought to how we just may have frozen that moment for posterity.

Genealogists love discovering photographic images of long distant relatives hidden among a hodgepodge of photographs at a yard sale or even in an antique store.

Historians jump with anticipation at a prospect of sighting photographs containing a historical building or landmark as it was in a century past.

Historically, older images were printed from brittle film or glass plate negatives, and those one-of-a-kind snapshots are fading. Even more disheartening are those

mystery images, as yet undeveloped, residing inside old cameras that turn up at yard sales. In either instance they are all potentially lost to history.

In an effort to preserve the richness of our past heritage, the Alexandrian Public Library has determined to gather, document and preserve as many images as possible of historical Mount Vernon as it was prior to 1940.

In addition to photographs, there are postcards and rare stereopticon cards of vintage Mount Vernon architecture and businesses out there that are not included in the library collection. Some are colorized while others are simple black and white images. If you have any, please bring them to the library so they can be scanned and printed for inclusion in the exhibit.

Those attending the exhibit will be provided an opportunity to record their own memories of the images. Those comments, observations and memories will then be digitized along with the relevant images for future generations.

Photographs for submission may be emailed or dropped off at the library, along with a name and contact number. For more information, contact Stan Campbell at the library at 838-3286.

Mayor John Tucker and Street Commissioner Roy Maynard traveled to Indianapolis on July 13 to meet with Lt. Governor Becky Skillman and State Senator Jim Tomes for an Award Ceremony.

But did you know the Keck Gonnerman club does other events during the year?

We have a tractor ride in the spring, this year we stopped at the Harmony Health Care Center for our rest stop. The Health Care Center furnish drinks and an area for us to park. The residents had the opportunity to come and view the tractors. We started at the Harmony State Park and ended back at the park. The high water caused a change in the route, but it was a great time. A big thank you to the State Park for letting us unload and return with a spin through the park, but again water changed our

route, and thank you to the Health Care Center for the rest stop.

We participate in the Posey County Fair with sawing and threshing demonstrations, tractor and truck pulling. We have a plowing day in the fall for anyone to bring a tractor and plow or come and watch these older tractors do their thing.

We come out in December (cold) for the Christmas Parade in New Harmony.

And “Start Spreading the News!”

Sermon of the Week: By The Sweat Of The Brow By: The Rev. Rick Sellers, Mt. Zion General Baptist Church I am a gardener. I hope you noticed that I did not say “Master Gardener.” I was privileged to get to know my grandparents and learned a lot from them. They were hard working people who, although they did not have much, were willing to work hard and provide well for their families. Both of my grandfathers put out a garden that was spectacular. I remember every time we would visit (they lived in Arkansas and we lived in the Chicago area) in the summer my grandfather would always send home a couple hundred pounds of the best tasting potatoes you have ever eaten! His tomatoes were something to brag about as well.

I try to work in my garden at least a little bit each day. Every time I work those weeds over I think of my grandparents. When the sweat drips into my eyes I think of my grandfathers.

But, I also think of something that I read in the Bible.

In the book of Genesis we read the account of creation. God, our Creator set everything in perfect order but sin put a bit of an obstacle in the way. Sin caused a separation between man, God’s creation and God, the Creator.

In Genesis 3:17 (NKJV) we discover the result of man’s sin, the curse for disregarding God’s instruction.

17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’: “Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life.

Because this verse is in the middle of God’s speaking to all those involved, Eve, Adam and Satan) it is good to understand that the reason for the man’s curse does not have anything to do with Adam’s listening to and being misled

by Eve. Read all of Genesis 2-3 to fully understand.

God said to man, “Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life.” Work! Sweat!

As I said, when I work in my garden I can’t help but think of my grandfathers and all the hard work they put into their garden. The produce on the table brings such pleasure but the process also creates calluses and those thorny weeds are truly pests which I could do without, but because man turned to disobey God there is no escaping the punishment.

A little hard work pays off. In the New Testament we find that some had become quite lazy and the Apostle Paul addressed the church in II Thessalonians 3:10 (KJV), For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

Several years ago I heard someone speaking at a conference who described the difference between the produce you get fresh out of the garden compared to the “stuff” you get out of

season. He called the out of season produce “stuff made by Dow Chemical” and you know what, I think I would have to agree that it is a lot like that.

This time of the year we see the farmers in their fields, those with green thumbs working in their flower gardens and happy gardeners all working hard to provide for all of us some of the best food imaginable. Recently one of the members of my congregations came up to me following the service and said that he felt that as a farmer he considered himself feeding a lot of people with the crops he harvested.

So, while you sit down to one of those fresh tomatoes, cucumbers or an ear of sweet corn I hope you will understand the work required to get that good stuff to your plate.

I know that I will never forget watching my grandparents and the love that went into the sweat on their brow which provided some of the best eatin’ I have ever experienced bar none.

SCHOOL

Students behind on lunch accounts to be served bread and cheese

By Pam Robinson The New Harmony School Board took the necessary steps to adopt a final budget at the Thursday, July 14, meeting. The four board members present approved the advertisement of the budget on August 9 and 16 before setting the public hearing date at a special board meeting on Thursday, August 25, at 6 p.m. in the school media center. It was emphasized that the August 25 public hearing is the only time open for public comment on the budget.

The board agreed also to meet in a work session following the public hearing at 7 p.m. and set the budget adoption date as Thursday,

September 8, during the regular monthly board meeting.

In other business: •The board approved the following personnel in one vote: hiring Jennifer Toopes as head high school girls’ basketball coach, Shawn Worman as high school girls’ junior varsity coach, Ashley Sallee-Robinson as assistant volleyball coach, Tyler Howe as volunteer volleyball coach, Marty Crispino and Zach Weinzapfel as co-soccer coaches and Dawn Wickstrom as athletic department secretary and extracurricular accounts treasurer. It was noted that Toopes had resigned earlier in the summer, thinking she would be relocating, but the

move didn’t transpire. •The board approved serving an alternate meal of cheese sandwiches to students who have delinquent lunch accounts. It was emphasized that this ruling affects no student on free or reduced lunch, only students whose parents fall behind in paying their bill. It was noted that the school lost over $800 last year in delinquent lunch accounts, and school attorney David Givens is sending notices to four of the worst offenders. •The board approved AdTec as the E-Rate service provider at $490 to finish 2010 filing, at $490 to finish 2011 filing and at $1,290 for 2012 filing.

•The board approved Helix Technologies for providing server, server backup system and installation at a cost of $6,997.13. •The board approved the music department’s magazine fundraising sales. The board will take action on the volleyball car wash, tournament and cookie dough sales at its next meeting since the application did not reach the board by the deadline of the Wednesday a week before the board meeting. •The board accepted and filed extracurricular account transactions, added an account for the Class of 2016 and discontinued accounts for the Class of 2010, Class of 2011, academic awards

banquet, after prom, special education and youth soccer.

It was noted that the after prom account would now become part of the junior class account. •The board approved the Head Start rental agreement. •Included in reports were the 2011 ISTEP results. Principal Douglas Mills advised the board that when the Indiana Department of Education corrected its data, New Harmony School would register 85.2 percent pass in math, up 5.7 percent over the previous year, and 81 percent pass in language arts, up two-tenths percent over the previous year. The recently released 2011 ISTEP data marks re-

sults for students in grades 3 through 8. •The board recognized the following student athletes for outstanding achievement: Stephen Murray and Kris Scarafia for making the 2011 Indiana High School Baseball Coaches Association Academic All-State Team and Andrew McDaniel for receiving Honorable Mention for the Indiana High School Baseball Coaches Association All-State Team.

The New Harmony School Board will meet again in regular session on the second Thursday in August— August 11, 2011—at 6 p.m. in the school media center.

OPINION

Customer service, foreign concept but worth the extra dollars Sometimes I think I am just getting old and don’t know how things are done in today’s society. But at times, I long to go back to the way things TRUTH... were done in the past. As we STRANGER in the newspaper business THAN continue to try and provide FICTION good service to our custom- BY DAVE ers, it sometimes seems like PEARCE we may be the only ones left with that goal in mind.

I have learned first-hand how to deal with never having a real person answer the telephone in many businesses anymore. I have had to learn to have patience while I must listen to what seems to be 10 minutes of “press one for this or press two for that,” or press one for English or two for Spanish. But sometimes I think companies have simply grown too big to care about customer service at all any more. There are some services that have somewhat of a monopoly on the services they provide people in areas such as “po-dunk Posey County.” The attitudes of these companies is evident by the way they treat their customers.

I have had the “opportunity” (term used extremely loosely) over the past few weeks to have to have electrical service, sewer and water services, Internet services, and cellular services connected as we have prepared to open our newest office, this one in Poseyville. No, this will not change the fact

that we will continue to have locations in Mount Vernon and in New Harmony. That is called “community service.”

My first indication that perhaps customer service was a thing of the past was when I began to try and find a way to have the electricity turned on in our building across the street from the Posey County Co-op and next door to Margaret’s Resale in Poseyville.

While we had no problems getting things changed over when we moved to Poseyville a couple years ago, this time things turned out to be a little disconcerting.

I got with my landlord who indicated the address Duke Energy had for us in Poseyville. After several minutes of “pressing one for this and two for that or three for something else,” I finally wound up speaking with a live person. As I stood at the electric meter in front of my building looking at the blue tag with the Duke Energy insignia on it, the woman on the other end of the phone informed me that my address did not exist and that I couldn’t possibly be looking at one of their meters.

While we obviously weren’t on the same page, I attempted to keep in mind that perhaps the building owner had provided me with the wrong address or that I could even have written it down wrong. I was willing to

give it a second try.

After retracing all my steps and finding out that I indeed had the correct address, I again called the energy company and again listened to the ten minutes of “press one for this, two for that, and three for something else.” Again, I finally got a live person on the other end, and again, I was told that my address did not exist.

Not realizing just who I was talking to, I proceeded to explain to her where our building was located. This was intended to be a friendly gesture to help her discover where her company might need to send someone to turn on the power so that we could have electricity and they could have a new customer and more money coming in each month. The clerk promptly informed me that she was in Milwaukee, Wisc., and all my landmarks meant absolutely nothing to her.

She continued to insist that we did not have their services in our new location. Thanks to some hard work by our landlord, we were finally able to get the electricity turned on in the building, but even then, it was several days coming.

Next there was the cable company. This may sound like something from “A Nightmare on Elm Street” but this actually happened. I first attempted to get the local Internet and telephone service provider only to find out that the front door to the building is locked with nothing but a 1-800 number on the door and no way to call into the local office.

So, I decided to go another route. I would go with the company where I already had been an established customer for many years. I had been told that I could add a second account to my existing account and I figured that should simplify things dramatically. Wrong!

I called in and soon found out that their “press one for this and two for that and three for something else went all the way up to seven and eight.” It seemed like I was on the line for ten minutes before they placed me on hold and began to play a recording in my ear telling me how important my call was to them and that it would be answered in the order it was received. They gave me an “approximate hold time,” but after I had exceeded that time by 15 minutes, I had to go to work to make money to pay for the services they were already providing me.

The next morning I had about a 45-minute drive and thought I could probably get through in that length of time. After another fun game of “dialing through the alphabet,” I did finally get a real person. This time I got “Sally.” She had a good personality and I figured Sally was going to take care of me. She sounded nice enough and promised to take

care of me after I expressed a little of the episode I had been through the day before.

And while I believe Sally had good intentions, she gave me a window of time and I then paid one of our employees to sit there through the time period and wait for someone to show up. Of course, no one did. Then during my drive home that evening between 7:30 and 8, someone called and told me they would have someone out in about 25 or 30 minutes. In jubilation, I set sail for the location. My wife and I sat there for well over an hour only to find that the sub-contractor called out could not find the building (or probably even the town) and that I would be first on the schedule the next day. Believe it or not, I was beginning to have my doubts.

Sure enough, no technician and not so much as even a telephone call awaited me the following morning. I decided to let that day pass and try back on another day.

I called back the following morning and again got to play “musical touchtones.”

Funny that Sally hadn’t given me her direct line. No one would. Each person to whom I spoke would give me only the main number where each time I would get the opportunity to press all the buttons again. To make a longer story short, a couple days later two very nice young men agreed to stay at the office until almost 10:30 p.m. to get Internet service into the building. I could have hugged them but decided to buy them drinks and a pizza instead.

But when it came to having the water and sewer connected here in town, my hat goes off to the people who run the local office.

I called and after just a ring or two, I was greeted by a friendly voice on the other end who went out of their way to try and help me get the services I needed at the address. If only everything else had been so simple.

So as we continue an attempt to provide local and good customer service for our advertisers and our subscribers, I promise you will never have to go through such antics to talk to a real person or to get an issue resolved. If you do, please take the time to call me personally. I can guarantee it won’t happen again. I understand that we are not the only game in town and we have to earn both your respect and your business. All local companies do. So the next time you consider driving to the big city or making that big purchase over the Internet, don’t forget there are friendly people right here in Posey County who are willing to go out of their way to help you and to be there when you need them.

From the experiences I have endured over the past few weeks, this customer service is worth much more than the dollar or two I might save by getting my items from somewhere else!

Letter to the Editor Keep in open mind for the future of Mount Vernon To all of Mount Vernon, As many close to us know, I was accepted to Southeastern University in Lakeland Florida. My original intent was to stay in Mount Vernon and take my classes online.

That decision was based on many things, but mostly on my job here and the security the income provided. Recently however, that security was lost and new opportunities presented themselves. After considering all of our sce-

narios and options we had decided to move to Florida where I would attend Southeastern as a full time student.

This was in large part because I can earn the same as what I am now, simply by attending school thanks to my GI Bill. We were all systems go until two days ago the impact of "farewell" truly hit home.

We have reconsidered and I will now attempt to get into University of Evansville and major in Biblical Studies. I

am making a one year commitment and we will then re-evaluate our situation and make any further decisions necessary.

This does, however, present one line of business I must take care of. I must, unfortunately, withdraw my name from the upcoming election.

Due to the time constraints of family, full time work and full time school I will not have the time to devote to this campaign as I had previously

Gavel Gamut’s “The Bailouts Revisited” In his book, The Big Short, Inside the Doomsday Machine, Michael Lewis exposes the intentional creation of the market in worthless credit default swaps that our federal government bailed out with over one trillion dollars of our money. The Big Short was published in 2010, but it covers the roots of the hundreds of billions of knowingly bad investments made by AIG, Bear Stearns, Citigroup, Lehman Brothers, and other Wall Street traders because they assumed they were “too big to fail.”

With virtually no Congressional or Executive Branch oversight or even hearings, the people who intentionally brought about the near collapse of America’s economy were paid full dollar on what should have been their ticket to bankruptcy.

Gentle Reader, you may recall I wrote a series of Gavel Gamut articles in 2008-2009 arguing against the bailouts and suggesting alternative solutions. My analysis was the bailouts would not solve our economic crisis and it was simply wrong for the taxpayers to insure our own financial demise by borrow-

ing trillions to give to fat cats.

GAVEL GAMUT

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE Of course, as we know, our country is now on the verge of defaulting on our obligations due to having reached our debt ceiling. And, yes, you and I assume the federal government will reach a sleazy, bottled-water filled room, midnight deal but what will not happen is an actual solution. In my opinion, the basic philosophical approach to our financial woes is what needs changing.

Instead of trying to “borrow ourselves out of debt” by fighting over raising the Debt Ceiling, perhaps we should invest in ourselves.

Consumer spending provides about seventy percent (70%) of our Gross National Product. Americans are wary of spending because we have little confidence our federal government will manage our tax monies wisely.

Americans own trillions of dollars of IRA’s, retirement funds, 401 K’s and 457 plans. I suggest our governments, federal and each state, allow us to access a reasonable amount and/or percentage of our own funds without penalty, taxes or interest for a defined period of less than one year.

A simple addition to the state and federal tax returns could allow for the accounting. Then, if the monies were spent in the economy, products would be sold, sales taxes would be paid, employees would be paid wages upon which income taxes would be paid and companies would pay corporate taxes.

This was the approach I suggested three years ago as an alternative to the bailouts. It puts the decisions in the hands of the citizens and rewards the taxpayers, not the fat cats and political contributors.

I am aware such an approach would significantly impact Wall Street. However, that is preferable to Wall Street’s significantly negative impact upon us.

intended. I will be filing the appropriate paperwork very soon, as the deadline is rapidly approaching. I do this with a heavy heart, I have such a strong desire to make a difference here. Mount Vernon is a wonderful small town that I know can be great. I pray that Mount Vernon can place itself into the hands of some wonderful leaders that can take it to the heights it is capable of. There are changes that need made, but there are plans already committed to that need completed. We have many valuable resources that if utilized properly could make this town special.

Land is something we have an abundance of, we need to figure out where would be appropriate for new businesses and start soliciting them. We need to stop waiting for business owners to find us and we need to seek them!

We have many historic homes that would be great for providing a service based business, internet based businesses. The Cox Group has the building on the corner of Mulberry and Fourth that would be a model of what that could be. Again, seek them and plead our case and make coming to Mount Vernon appealing!

We have several businesses that also sit vacant. We need to again make it desirable for these small businesses to invest their time and money into coming here.

We have heavy semi traffic yet no truck stop, we need to start pursuing entrepreneurs or franchises and make all efforts to get one here. This may not be something that would be within the city limits, but at least on one end of the bypass.

We have a downtown ASSISTANT EDITOR, MV OFFICE PAM ROBINSON PamelaWrite@sbcglobal.net

that is being allowed to look abandoned and dilapidated.

We need to take all available and appropriate action to clean up these buildings.

Unfortunately that may mean demolition in some instances.

This however, needs done after something is in place to ensure the preservation of our historic feel downtown. Maybe something in a building code to limit the architectural feel of new buildings. It is going to be very hard to find an investor willing to dump cash into a building that is nearing collapse. Even to walk down Main Street it smells old and stagnant, there is very little life there right now.

We need a fire station and police department desperately.

I would love to see a building like Dausman's old dealership be transformed into an new city complex. The lot would only need a garage built on to house the fire trucks, aside from that would be merely an interior overhaul. It is centrally located, built with cost effective building materials and provides easy access to a main street. I wonder if there would be a creative way to accomplish this that would benefit all parties involved without being a huge financial burden on the city but still a financial benefit for the

Our ordinances need some time devoted to them as well.

We need to sift through them and find the obsolete ordinances and either remove or update them. We need to find the ordinances that are not being enforced and either enforce, change or remove them. Lastly as a whole, when this is complete, we need to enforce all of our ordinances.

We cannot be expected as a citizen to follow one ordinance and watch as the city ignores another.

Most importantly we need, as a body of elected representatives, to stop our agendas and take the time to listen to the citizens of Mount Vernon.

We need to protect the safety and comfort of all our citizens, regardless of anything!

I know this sounds a lot like campaigning, but I wanted to share my thoughts and dreams for Mount Vernon in hopes that some of them be carried out by those currently or soon to be in office. I did not want to withdraw keeping any of these ideas with me to die on the shelf while I wait until the time is right for my return to the ballot. May God bless this wonderful town and may God bless all of you going forward.

Water quality report released The Poseyville Municipal Utilities and the Town of Poseyville have released their annual water quality report. This report is designed to inform you about the quality water and services delivered to you every day. Their constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. Customers need to understand the efforts made to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. The Poseyville Water Department is committed to ensuring the quality of your water.

In 2010 the Poseyville Water Department distributed 43,000,000 gallons of water to their customers. Our water source is groundwater pumped from a natural underground aquifer. The town’s two wells are located approximately 2 miles northwest of Poseyville’s corporate limits.

Your water is treated by using filtration to remove or reduce harmful contaminants that may come from the source water.

Protection of Poseyville’s source water starts with selection of an aquifer of treatable quality, followed by proper design and place-

ment of wells. Once in place, quality of water is monitored to determine if any contaminates are present. Staff physically inspects well sites daily to insure that no natural or manmade damage is present. Currently a Wellhead Protection Plan is underway to evaluate and make recommendations to correct any source(s) that may contaminate wells.

In their continuing efforts to maintain safe and dependable water supply it may be necessary to make improvements in the water system. The costs of these improvements may be reflected in the rate structure. Rate adjustments may be necessary in order to address these improvements.

For more information about your drinking water and for opportunities to get involved, please contact Ken Gorbett by calling 812874-2212 or by writing this address: P O Box 194, Poseyville, IN 47633. Also you are welcome and encouraged to attend public meetings on the second Wednesday of each month at 4:30 p.m. (60 N. Church). Find out more on the Internet at http://www.ccrreport.com.

WATER QUALITY DATA TABLE The table below lists all of the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the calendar year of this report. The presence of contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done in the calendar year of the report. The EPA or the State requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently.

NOTE: The Synthetic Organic Compounds (SOC) that were tested were below detectable limit.

Notes: 1The state allows us to monitor for some contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently. Some of our data, though accurate, is more than one year old.

2 Nitrate in drinking water at levels above 10 ppm is a health risk for infants of less than six month of age. High nitrate levels in drinking water can cause blue baby syndrome. Nitrate levels may rise quickly for short periods of time because of rainfall or agricultural activity. If you are caring for an infant you should ask advice from your health care provider.

Volunteering time, knowledge at Lorence heart

Long-time New Harmony resident Janet Lorence has been nominated as Good Neighbor of the Week for her unselfish contributions to the arts and spirituality in New Harmony.

“She is one of the most giving people to tirelessly promote New Harmony with her time and talents,” comments her neighbor Hugh Thompson. “She is always doing things behind the scenes without asking for any credit or for anything in return.”

Lorence moved to New Harmony in 1978, one year after her first visit to provide a workshop for calligraphers around the state. With the exception of a six year interlude, she has resided in New Harmony ever since.

A master calligrapher, she has offered classes, continuing education programs and workshops in New Harmony, at the University of Evansville,

the University of Southern Indiana and other places in the state.

In addition to a life-long study and practice of calligraphy, Lorence served a two-year apprenticeship in papermaking at Twinrocker Handmade Paper Mill, Brookston, Ind., and just last year offered her second papermaking workshop in New Harmony. While teaching for several years at New Harmony School, she introduced students there to papermaking and calligraphy.

Lorence serves as volunteer coordinator of the Cathedral Labyrinth and Sacred Garden, hosting the monthly summer candlelight walks, solstice celebrations and recitation of the universal peace prayers in addition to walks for visiting groups, including the students who participate in Heritage Artisans Week. She helped host the International Labyrinth Conference held in New Harmony last fall. The laby-

rinth speaks to her body and soul.

“It is a wonderful meditative tool and has an interesting history,” she says.

“Labyrinths started with the Greeks, as far as we know, and are found in different cultures, including Native American. We are grateful to Mrs. Owen for this gift. She saw it as a tool to resolve conflicts, especially before they escalate into violence. It could be a personal conflict or one going on in town or in the world. It’s just a good place to zero in on what’s really important in life. A place to count our blessings and heal our wounds. A place that combines thought and movement. A tool that inspires letting go, acceptance, innovation and change.

Walking the twists and turns serve as a metaphor for life. I urge people to give it a try if they haven’t, walking alone and with others.”

Featured at the Women’s Institute and Gallery in

New Harmony on several occasions, Lorence enjoys photography, pencil and watercolor drawing and printmaking in addition to calligraphy and papermaking. She stays current with graphic design, her undergraduate major at Oregon’s Marylhurst College. Further graduate work combined papermaking and printmaking in Indiana. She also brings together a bi-monthly drawing group in New Harmony.

Her only child, son Jonathan, is an international teacher. He and his Russian-born wife Natalie are blessed with a 5-year-old daughter, Stella. Lorence has enjoyed many visits with her son and his family at their international locations, most recently in Thailand this past January.

Posey County resident Lexi Stearns captured the wrath of ‘mother nature’ during one of last week’s storm. The photo was taken by Stearns on her cellphone camera.

Trip helps volunteers value other cultures, comforts of US

Pictured in Zimbabwe with the mountains of Mozambique in the background are the First UMC mission team members. Front row L to R: Betty Hart and Terri Kendall; back row L to R, Mike Rynkiewich, Theresa Rynkiewich and Alice Kendall. The group served for two weeks ,from May 28 to June 12, at the Fairfield Children’s Homes in Mutare, Zimbabwe. Photo submitted.

By Pam Robinson In Zimbabwe, when greeted with “Hello, how are you,” the people answer, “I’m well if you’re well,” relates Dr. Betty Hart of Mount Vernon. She repeats a lesson the Rev. Dr. Mike Rynkiewich provided to the group of four who joined him on a two-week mission trip to the African nation this summer, sponsored by First United Methodist Church in Mount Vernon.

The greeting reveals the belief that individual well-being depends on community well-being, Hart explains, and underscores just one of the differences in the culture of America and the culture of Zimbabwe. The First UMC mission team of Rynkiewich and his wife Theresa, mother and daughter Alice and Terri Kendall and Hart learned to appreciate and respect major differences in the structure of government, families and social institutions.

Above all, they wanted to fulfill God’s mission of service in completing 32 hours of ground and air travel to work at the Fairfield Children’s Homes in Mutare, Zimbabwe.

Their mission team planted hedges, helped to paint buildings, organized donations of clothing as well as cleaning and medical supplies from all over the world and, most important, shared a mutual love of God with the people.

“For the two weeks we spent at the Fairfield

Children’s Homes, we served God’s mission.

We gave of ourselves—not assuming that we had answers or solutions to the problems of these dear people, but seeking to know how we could serve them. We reached out, going into the homes, talking to the mothers and children, participating in the daily routines and events of life in the homes,” Hart comments.

“We embraced them, as they embraced us, laughing, singing, working and sharing the mutual love of God. It was indeed a force that made us—our mission team and the families at the Fairfield Homes for Children—one with God. The same God that presides over us at First United Methodist is there in Zimbabwe watching over the little children and their mothers.”

In April 1980, Prime Minister Robert Mugabe declared Zimbabwe’s independence from British colonial rule. Subsequently, the British colonials left the country, taking their technology with them. Since then, the country’s plentiful resources of silver and gold mines, rich land and streams have laid dormant and offer no sustenance to the people.

The First UMC mission team was warned to suppress any comments about this unstable political situation.

By Pam Robinson Mount Vernon High School, or MVHS, cheerleader Megan McDonald downplays her role in saving the life of a 3-year-old boy at Burdette Park pool in Evansville on Sunday, July 3. She noticed the boy face down in the baby pool as she headed for her lifeguard chair at the beginning of her shift. She immediately blew her whistle, pulled the unconscious toddler from the water and responded with the first chest compressions until the park emergency medical technicians took over.

“I couldn’t have saved the child by myself,” she insists. “It was a team. Everyone came together and helped. Burdette has a very good staff. Everything went as planned [in training], and we acted as a team and pulled together and all helped to save a child’s life.”

McDonald was relieved to receive a call from the boy’s family on Monday, July 4, to offer their thanks and to tell her the boy was back to his old self.

“They said he was bouncing off the walls and acting like nothing ever happened,” she relates.

A St. Philip native and resident, McDonald has served as a lifeguard at Burdette Park for three summers now. Until the July 3 incident, she had helped overexerted swimmers and those wandering into too deep water, but she’d never needed to pull someone unconscious out of the water.

She learned rescue response at Evansville’s YMCA before she started work and attained, and keeps current, certifications in first aid, CPR and lifeguarding. Provided swimming lessons at an early age and at public school classes, she has served only

one year on a club swim team. A friend encouraged her to work toward lifeguarding at Burdette, and McDonald says she’s found it “the ideal summer job.”

“I like being outdoors, and I like helping people,” she states.

The MVHS senior turned 18 years old on Friday, July 8. She is the daughter of Jamie and Philip McDonald and has a young sister, Katelynn, who turns 16 in September.

The varsity cheer captain, she has served as a cheerleader throughout all four years at MVHS and travels with a competitive cheer team from Evansville’s Cheer Zone.

In addition, she is a member of the National Honor Society, Key Club, Biology 3 and an officer in DECA. She plans to pursue a career in the medical field upon graduation from MVHS.

North Posey 11-year-olds play well but fail to advance

North Posey’s 11 yr. old Little League all-stars traveled to Jasper for tournament play the week of July 1. Front Row: Grant Parker, David Bender, Cody Reese, Mason Wassmer and Justin Cummings Back Row: Coach Rob Voegel, Wes Voegel, Brandon Hamman, Austin Pearison, Jordan Goedde, Alec Geotz, Dylan O’Brien, Coach Doug Hamman and Coach Mike Wassmer.

North Posey’s 11-year-old Little League all-stars travelled to Jasper for tournament play the week of July 1 and had a successful, albeit disappointing trip.

On Friday, July 1, the 11-year-olds opened the tournament by beating Princeton 12-1 in a game shortened after four innings because of the mercy rule. Austin Pearison and Jordan Goedde paced North Posey with three hits apiece. Brandon Hamman added two hits while Wes Voegel, David Bender, Mason Wassmer, Dylan O’Brien, and Justin Cummings added one hit apiece. Hammon and Grant Parker combined on the one-hitter while giving up one unearned run.

On Sunday, July 3, 2011, they followed up with a hard fought game in beating the host team, Jasper, 2-1 on a walk-off single by Cody Reese in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Haniman picked up the win for the Vikings by allowing one unearned run over six innings.

Goedde led the hit attack with two hits followed by one hit apiece by Pearison, Voegel, Hamman, Bender, and Reese.

On Tuesday, July 5, the team had a difficult time and lost to N.E. Dubois 12-1 in a game where very little went right. The offense struggled for the Vikings with only Voegel, Hanirnan, and Bender picking up hits. Voegel took the loss on the mound.

On Thursday, July 7, North Posey bounced back with a 10-0 mercy rule beating of an overmatched Loogootee team behind the three-hit pitching of Parker. Hamman lead the offense with two hits, followed by one hit apiece from Pearison, Goedde, Parker, Reese, O’Brien, and Alec Goetz.

With a record of 3-1, one would expect North Posey to advance to the single elimination portion of the tournament where only the top 4 teams participate. However, since one team was undefeated, and four teams were 3-1, a runs allowed ratio based on the number of runs a team surrendered divided by the number of innings a team played defense was used to calculate the tie-breaker. Although it was a disappointing way to end, the team had a successful tournament with good pitching, strong defense, and timely hitting.

North Posey Viking basketball camp draws good numbers Special to the News North Posey boys’ basketball recently concluded their summer program. In early June, camp was conducted for boys entering first through ninth grade. This year 91 young men participated in the camp. Players had an opportunity to learn fundamentals from the high school players and coaching staff. Camp concluded with grades 6-9 facing off against teams from Heritage Hills. The incoming freshmen class also traveled to the Springs Valley Shootout with the junior varsity and varsity team. They finished the weekend with a 4 and 3 record against junior varsity teams.

The junior varsity and varsity teams also

had a busy June. Both teams played a 21game schedule that included shootouts at Springs Valley, USI, University of Evansville, and Pike Central. In addition to the games, players participated in a six-day team camp. Strength and agility training workouts were conducted with the football program.

North Posey Coach Matt Wadsworth commented, “The summer gives each player an opportunity to improve as basketball players.

The games we play are especially valuable in helping our players gain experience in game situations. We graduated five seniors from last year’s team. Our play this summer shows we have an opportunity to develop into a

good team next winter. It will be important for players to work on their ball-handling and shooting while they are away from the gym.”

The varsity program is preparing for a season that will see significant changes to the schedule. Fairfield, New Harmony, and the Tecumseh Classic have been removed from the schedule. Larger schools Boonville and Central will be two new additions. The Vikings will also be making their first trip to play in the Graber Post Classic at North Daviess High School.

Brittlebank team swims well when able to get into the pool

Brittlebank Barracudas swim team traveled to Fairfield on Saturday for a make-up tri-meet and came away with several victories. Ten-year-old Megan Ghrist racked up several blue ribbons for her team. Photo by Josh Koch

By Steve Joos The manager and coaches of the Brittlebank swim team were a little concerned about the safety of the McLeansboro public pool, so the Mount Vernon-based team opted out of a pair of meets at the Illinois pool last week.

The Barracudas were to have swum in a triangular meet with Olney on Tuesday in McLeansboro and then return to the pool for an invitational Saturday, gut they withdrew from both meets, citing safety concerns. The will resume their season tonight (Tuesday) at Carmi.

The Cudas did well in a pair of earlier meets, beating the Evansville YMCA in a dual meet in the River City, while taking a triangular with Carmi and Fairfield in Wayne County, Ill.

South Gibson 14-year-olds split in four prep games for tournament

By Steve Joos It was a tune-up for state Babe Ruth AllStar baseball action this weekend and the South Gibson 14-year-old team seemed to be in fairly decent running order, despite a 2-2 finish.

Jasper had to fight off a late South Gibson rally Sunday afternoon and survived a close contest, ousting South Gibson 10-8 in the semifinals of the Newburgh Invitational tournament at the Castle High School baseball field.

Jasper jumped on South Gibson for six runs in the bottom of the first inning and that proved to be the difference, even though South Gibson scored four runs in the top of the fifth inning and Damon Cardin nearly tied the game in the top of the seventh, but his long drive was three feet foul and just a little shy of the fence.

“Anytime you start out in the hole 6-0, it’s hard to bounce back,” Black coach Damien Word said. “Jasper’s a good team, yeah one inning. They just hit. We pitched well,

we had a couple of hits that just squirted through, but they just hit.”

Word was proud of his team’s ability to battle back in the later innings and never felt that his team was out of the game, especially after South Gibson plated four runs in the top of the fifth inning and cut a 9-3 deficit to 9-7.

Jasper manufactured an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth and then escaped after South Gibson loaded the bases with one out in the seventh.

Word felt that the middle of the team’s lineup (Alex Smith, Kames Marshall and Derek Lindauer) hit the ball well, while Cardin and Noah Evans also hit the ball well.

The pitcher struggled early, mainly due to a lack of game experience after a two-week layover since the end of the regular season.

The 14-year-olds topped the Newburgh River Bats 7-1 Saturday to reach the semifinals after dropping a 14-1 decision to Mount Vernon Friday night in five innings at Mulzer Field for a split of their pool play.

Cardin doubled twice and drove in five runs to lead South Gibson past Newburgh in the quarterfinals. Both Newburgh and Jasper are in the state tournament with South Gibson, which was another plus for this tournament, Word said.

Word was pleased with the tourney, adding that he’s a little more confident about the team’s chance after getting a chance to see them play.

South Gibson opened the tourney with a 9-3 win over Princeton-Oakland City, breaking things open with a five-run second inning.

The game was called after five innings due to a one hour, 45-minute time limit.

Jones and Smith combined for four innings of one-hit ball, while the team ran the bases and hit the ball well, Word said.

Everyone was able to play in the first two games, Word added, especially against Princeton.

“Everybody contributed against Princeton.

Against Mount Vernon? Different story.

“Errors,” Word said. “Error after error, compounded by walks and nerves. They’re a little nervous right now, they haven’t played together and they haven’t learned to communicate right now.”

Word is impressed with the team’s athleticism and versatility, adding that the 14-yearolds have a good deal of pitching and can fit in just about anywhere on the field.

“We need to just have them playing together,” Word said. “We have to learn to play together and we’ll get it.”

Mount Vernon scored five runs in the third inning to go along with five runs in the first two frames while building a 10-0 bulge.

The 14-year-olds start playing for real Friday night with a 5 p.m. game at Mulzer Field against the District Three runners-up.

The 13-year-olds open tourney play Thursday against the District Two runners-up with a 5 p.m. contest at Haubstadt, while the 15-year-olds square off against Princeton at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in McCutchanville.

Western Hills swimmers make a splash despite low numbers

By Steve Joos The Western Hills Country Club swim team wrapped up a fairly unusual regular season Wednesday with an unscored meet at the Evansville Country Club.

The meet was not scored mainly due to ECC’s strong advantage as far as depth and experience were concerned.

“My kids swam excellent today,” coach Lynn Sims said of her Western Hills swimmers. “I had some excellent swims from Brooke Jackson, she really improved. Also, other swimmers who had excellent swims were Ellen Cox, who really has improved, Taylor Collins and Nicholas Carter, and my field is pretty shallow, but we had great swims throughout the day. Lots of firsts and seconds, so I was very pleased with the way we swam.”

This was WHCC’s first competitive season in two years, and for the third time in the last 10 years, the Mount Vernon-based club swam all of its meets on the road and only swam two competitive meets during the regular season, the conference relays at Oak Meadow and the regular season opener at the McCutchanville club, won by Oak Meadow 615-433.

The Country Club Conference meet, which started Monday at Rolling Hills, will also be scored.

“The season has gone by so fast and they’ve really learned a lot in a short amount of time,” Sims said. “The kids have done an excellent job, they’re doing an excellent job of working on their strokes, their technique and they’ve really done a fine job of improv-

ing their times over this season.”

WHCC’s first team in two years is a mixed bag of swimmers who mostly compete in the summer with a few who also swim for the MTV age-group team.

That’s how Sims actually likes it, since it gives the team a chance to have fun and learn swimming.

Mixed bag or not, the team was strong enough to finish second in the conference relays.

“We don’t have a lot of number-one swimmers,” Sims said. “So we kind of mixed that up, we had some summer swimmers in there.

We had a pretty good meet, we finished second and second place is not too bad.”

All of WHCC’s meets were on the road, but they performed well despite not winning any meets, Sims added. She also hopes that the team will be bigger in the future.

“We had a great showing and got many first place finishes,” Sims said of the Oak Meadow meet. “We were simply beaten by their depth. We showed we have a great deal of talent, just not enough numbers.”

WHCC’s blue ribbon winners included Halle Bailey, Ellen Cox, Jackson, Emily Gragnon and Kendyl Bourne.

Other top finishers were Kelly Blair, Natalie Blair, Jacob Cox, Carter, Katie Culley, Logan Culley, Olivia Culley, Taylor Culley, Zach Culley, Garrett Kitterman, Grady Kitterman, Ella Sims, Ty Sims and Jack Valier.

Other top swimmers were Ashlyn Bourne, Collins, Shelby Culley, Maggie Jones and Molly Jones.

Mission trip, from Page B1 Considering the circumstances, more fortunate than most are the children at Fairfield Homes for Children. The orphaned children live in housing at the complex, proud of the “brothers and sisters” in their families formed of love rather than blood. A woman caretaker, whom they call and endear as “mother,” provides each family with complete care. She lives with her family for several weeks, then returns to her own home for a week before returning to the orphanage. In the interim week, another woman caretaker, known as the “auntie,” stays with the children.

“The mothers all wore uniforms and were always there for the children. They treated t hem like they were their own,” Hart says.

“We interviewed the children and helped them make books about their young lives.

When asked, ‘What do you like best,’ most said, ‘Being in a family and having sisters and brothers.’ Likewise, when asked to name somebody they really admired and would like to be like, just about all of them said, ‘My mama—she loves me, she takes care of me, she feeds me.’ Those are things we don’t think about.”

Hart said she sometimes stayed in the complex’s cooking hut shelling corn while her fellow mission team members busied themselves with other tasks.

“I went to observe, but I could not observe,” she states. “The children kept coming in there. They’re all very much starved for affection and love and touch. What they want you to do is just hold them, just put your arms around them or just take a minute and talk to them and give them your attention.”

In Mugabe’s Zimbabwe, basic social institutions, such as school, are considered a privilege and an achievement. Those who can’t pay the fees are barred from attending school.

“I met two boys sitting on the gate outside of a community school. I was told that they were not ‘skipping’ school, but they had been run off by the headmaster because they could not afford their fees. So the boys simply sat outside of the school until someone could show up to pay their fees,” Hart recalls.

The backdrop to the poverty and injustice is the breathtaking landscape itself. The First UMC mission team awoke to monkeys calling and scampering and to the sight of poinsettias, bird of paradise plants and clear blue skies set off by mountains in the near distance.

“My metaphor for South Africa is looking up to see the new moon in the old moon’s cradle. You think here’s this new moon with all this potential, but there’s no light on it. The only thing you can see is what’s left of the old moon,” Hart says. “It’s like that in this country. All you can see is what’s left of a nation that once was one of the most powerful nations in Africa. Now, what’s left for the future, you can’t see. There’s no light on it. It’s a sad place to be, and at the same time, it’s so beautiful that you can’t help but go, ’Wow!’” The poignant scene has inspired Hart with an even deeper sense of fulfilling God’s mission in the world. She says she’d definitely repeat the trip to Zimbabwe and looks forward to First UMC’s next mission adventure.

“I left Zimbabwe with a powerful gratitude for the things we take for granted in this country,” she reflects,”that we have been blessed to have a democratic government that serves its citizens, that we have families, that most of us do not want for the basic comforts of life, that we have a Church that does not fail to recognize that all of our blessings lead us, even more, to recognize our need to serve others through God’s mission.”
