By Valerie Werkmeister Poseyville Town Marshal, Doug Saltzman, would like some help. He requested to hire a deputy town marshal during the town council meeting March 14. Other than Saltzman, the town currently employs two part-time officers who also have other full-time jobs with other police departments. It is often difficult to provide enough coverage for the town between their full-time schedules. Council members agreed there is a need for an additional officer, as they had in the past. They also agreed to pay the potential officer’s salary during his or her participation in the seven-week police training academy. The position will be advertised in the newspaper. A public hearing regarding the town entering a lease agreement for the new town hall project was held during the meeting. There were no remonstrators and the council members approved resolution 201203-14-02. Attorney Bill Bender explained that the Poseyville Building Corporation was formed as a vehicle for the town to obtain bonds for the project. The corporation will not make any money, it is merely a means to finance the project on a low-interest loan. The project will require a 20-year loan. Once the loan has been paid, the building corporation will convey the property to the town. Ordinance 2012-12-14-01 was amended to include salaries for the newly created building corporation members. Ronald Patton, Randall Bechtel and Charles Baker will receive $100 per meeting according to the new amendment. The utility office reported a significant decrease in the gas tracker rate. The previous rate was 1.0552/ dcf. Council members Ron Fallowfiled, Steve Ahrens and Bruce Baker approved the new rate which dropped to -1.0540 for the consumption months of February, March and April. Gas users will notice a 26.5 percent decrease on their bills for March, April and May. Drainage concerns at the Poseyville Ball Park prompted Ken Gorbett to address the issue with the council. Currently, there is standing water between the former railroad tracks and the new ball field. In or-

Love affairs lead to new photography business By Dave Pearce It started out innocent enough. A man and his wife riding through the countryside on a Sunday afternoon motorcycle ride. But it ended up in a love affair that neither of them would ever have guessed. Mike and Angie Woodburn visited New Harmony and immediately fell in love. They saw a home for sale on Granary Street that they liked and immediately began looking into the possibility of purchasing it. To make a long story short, it was the beginning of a home restoration project and the rekindling of a love of photography, and now a new business in New Harmony. “We looked at the home and saw the potential,” Mike said of the 170-year-old home on Granary Street in New Harmony. “It has so much room and so much potential.” The home had been on the market for some time and Woodburn’s offer was eventually accepted. And that was just the beginning. Angie is the daughter of a “semi-professional” photographer who did wedding photography “on the side” and had his own darkroom. She grew up south of Louisville, Ky., in Brandenburg. She grew up having almost every event of her life captured on film (literally film) and learned a lot about photography through attrition. “My siblings and I ‘shuttered’ when we saw dad bring out the cameras,” Angie said with an infectious smile. “But looking back, we have lots of our lives captured in pictures and we can go back and relive many of those times from long ago.” But that knowledge of photography and the awkwardness of being in front of the camera instead of behind it has inspired Angie to become the backbone of the couple’s new photography business in New Harmony. Her support for Mike’s passion for photography spurred him to recommit to one of his favorite things in life…taking pictures. Mike has extensive experience in photography as well so between the two, it was a match made in heaven. The “heaven” portion of the match has come along in their deeply seeded Christian faith. The Woodburns attend One Life Church in Henderson, Ky. They are anxiously awaiting the opening of the new West Side One Life in Evansville. They also attend the church Angie’s brother pastors in Brandenburg when visiting her family on a regular basis. They have translated that love into their photography business, known as Live Laugh Capture Photography, recently opened in New Harmony. “Our main purpose in this life, is that we serve and glorify the Lord in everything we do,” the Woodburns have said regarding their work in

Angie and Mike Woodburn, owners of Live Laugh Capture Photography Studio recently opened in New Harmony. photography. ”We realize that every portrait tells a story and we strive to capture that essence in each and every portrait; focusing on the unstaged moments of life; natural, pure, unique and real.....YOU.” On a more personal level, the couple emphasizes that they want to “LIVE for the Lord, LAUGH out Loud, CAPTURE every Moment.” “We are Christian Lifestyle Photographers with a strong passion for our Lord, our family, and our portraiture,” the Woodburns continue. “We have a heart for sharing the love of Jesus Christ both in our personal lives and in our business.” Mike has over 15 years experience; specializing in weddings, seniors, babies, children and family portraits. Some of the Woodburns’ work can be viewed on their Facebook page “Live Laugh Capture Photography.” Their website will be live soon at www.livelaughcapture.net. Should you have questions or would like to know more about the photography opportunities offered by the Woodburns, please call 549-5187.

der to drain the water, a pipe would need to be laid from the field to the Pine Street ditch. They would need to control the water flow by installing a valve on the new pipe before it would reach the Pine Street ditch. Fallowfield stated he would talk to the North Posey Youth League to see if they could contribute monetary assistance towards the project. Sealed bids for the fire department’s old rescue truck were opened. They accepted the $3,139 high bid from Alan and Dan Bender. Joe Lupfer had also submitted a $2,580 bid that was not accepted. Fire Chief Chris Neaveill was hopeful that the funds would be able to go back into the fire department’s budget. However, the truck was titled to the Town of Poseyville and Robb Township. Council members thought that the funds must be returned to the title owners. Thus, half would be given to the township and half to the town. Clerk-Treasurer Nancy Grimes will contact the state board of accounts to verify if the funds must be deposited into the town’s general fund or if it can be given directly to the fire department. Bids were received from JL Farm Equipment, Inc.,, Wright-Stemle and Tri-County Equipment for a new 2012, 60-inch, zero-turn, midmount mower. JL bid $10,159 and would allow a $4,000 trade-in making the total cost $6,159. WrightStemle’s bid reflected a $5,200 trade-in with a $10,000 bid making the total cost $4,800. Tri-County bid $12,025 and gave $6,575 for the trade-in making the total purchase price $5,450. The council took the bids under advisement until Gorbett can take the time to review the bids and the mower specifications given to ensure the low bidder is able to meet those specs. Finally, the council approved a recommendation from the Area Plan Commission to re-zone property at 55B North Cale Street from residential to business. Property owners Mark and Amy Stephens purchased the property next to their home and plan to make a photography studio there. The next meeting is scheduled for April 11, at 4:30 p.m. in the Poseyville Community Center.

WMI News With all the warm – some would say hot – weather we’ve enjoyed recently, flowers are popping up all over town, and the Working Men’s Institute is no exception. Daffodils that the New Harmony School Third Grade planted last year are coming up at the front edge of the beds in front of the building, and will be thick by the time you read this. Come by and enjoy the colors of spring. Thanks to everyone who came to hear Pamela Louks talk about the Trees of New Harmony, our first in the 2012 Lecture series. We have a number of publications – brochures and pamphlets – about the selection, treatment, and propagation of trees, that Pamela brought with her, free for the taking. Please come by WMI to look at the selection available, and take the information that

purchase art created at the Paint Out, along with other pieces the artists bring. In conclusion, the “First Brush of Spring” Awards Program will be held on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 in front of Holy Angels Community Center on South Main Street in New Harmony.

All children are given time to both check out and return library materials at the end of each story hour. Library Lil will not meet on April 5th, as many participants will be involved in Holy Week activities. April is National Poetry Month, and to celebrate the month, we will be hosting an “open microphone” poetry reading on Tuesday, April 17, from 6 – 7 p.m. Readers are encouraged to bring a poem or two to read.

ems, or one you wrote. This program is for older children and adults 16 and up, and we will have light snacks and drinks for those in attendance – readers and listeners. Also celebrating National Poetry Month, Working Men’s Institute is encouraging New Harmony School children in grades 4 through 8 to write a haiku – or two or three – which will be compiled into a chapbook published and distributed during April. I will be compiling all submitted work into a chapbook to be distributed for free to area residents. WMI is open TuesdayThursday from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m.; Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.; and Sunday from noon – 4.

Historic New Harmony Happenings “Do I ever long for it? Am I ever hungry for the lights and excitement and the smell of it all? Oh, yes. It comes strong at times. It is part of me, and I love it”, Bella Golden, 1914. This season’s Golden Troupe exhibit at Thrall’s Opera House focuses on Bella Golden’s unique perspective on life behind the curtains. In the summer of 1882, Bella Golden and the Golden Troupe set off on tour. This was nothing new for Bella who spent most of her life on stage entertaining

audiences across the country. Though her performances on stage have been welldocumented by many critics’ reviews and papers across the country, her daily life has not been fully explored. Bella documented her life behind the curtain in a series of travel journals, which describe the trials of life on the move during the 19th century. The display is broken up into three main points: The Costumes, Family Life, and The Crew. Each section

INGREDIENTS • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter • 1 strip of bacon or 1 teaspoon of bacon fat (substitute 1/2 Tbsp of butter for vegetarian option) • 1/2 large yellow onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup) • 1/2 large carrot, chopped (about 1/3 cup) • 1/2 celery stalk, chopped (about 1/3 cup) • 3 ears of sweet corn, kernels removed from the cobs (about 2 cups), cobs reserved (see steps for taking corn off the cob) • 1 bay leaf • 3 1/2 cups milk, whole or low fat • 1 medium Yukon Gold potato, or Russet, peeled and diced • 1/4 red bell pepper, chopped (about 1/4 cup) • Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper • 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves DIRECTIONS 1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the bacon strip (skip this step for vegetarian option, just add more butter) and fry until the bacon renders its fat, but doesn’t begin to brown, 3 or 4 minutes. Add the onion and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, until soft. Add the carrot and celery and cook for 4 or 5 more minutes. 2. Break the corn cobs in half and add them to the saucepan. Add the milk and bay leaf. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a bare simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 30 minutes. Make sure the heat is as low as can be and still maintain a gentle simmer (on our stove we had to use the “warm” setting) to prevent scalding the milk on the bottom of the pan. 3. Discard the cobs, the bacon strip, and the bay leaf. Raise the heat, add the potatoes, red pepper, 1 teaspoon of salt, fresh ground pepper to taste, bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to maintain a simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are almost fork tender. 4. Raise the heat, add the corn kernels and the thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Serves 4

What flies, bites and is very annoying? Mosquitoes! But, did you know they can also be deadly for your dog or cat? Heartworms are spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. It does not matter if your dog or cat is an indoor or outdoor animal. As we all know, mosquitoes can enter homes through doors, screens, and on people as well as the items they carry into the house. The only way to protect your furry friend is by keeping them on a monthly heartworm preventative. However, BEFORE starting your dog on a preventative, they must be tested. Giving a dog with heartworms a heartworm preventative may harm or kill the dog depending on the level of heartworm infestation. As the name implies, heartworms live in the heart and pulmonary arteries of the dog or cat. They are spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. The heartworm begins as larvae in the mouth of an infect-

ed mosquito. The larvae are deposited into the skin by the bite and then enter the muscle and tissue of the bitten animal. Larvae continue to mature and migrate into the vascular system and eventually are carried to the heart and pulmonary arteries. This can happen as early as 70 days from the date of first infection. They develop into adult worms at about 6 months and begin reproducing.

Since there is no way of knowing when an animal has been bitten or if the mosquito was infected, the only sure way to prevent heartworms is to test and treat your animal on a regular basis. While both dogs and cats react differently to heartworms both can die from them. For more information, testing and preventative please contact your vet. To help limit the presence of mosquitoes, do not

allow water to stand in toys, flower pots, or other yard items. If you have low spots that hold water in your yard, fill them in with dirt or rock to avoid breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Keep screens repaired and caulk any door or window gaps that allow insects to enter the house. And remember to contact your vet immediately about testing and treated all animals in the home.

North Elementary fifth and sixth grade students were treated to a visit from Angela Mason, author of the newly released book, "Death Rides the Sky". The book includes detailed accounts and history of the Tri-State Tornado or the Griffin Tornado to some. The tornado struck March 18, 1925 and traveled through three states, and broke records including: the longest unbroken path at 219 miles, 695 confirmed dead, 2,027 injured, fastest forward moving speed of 73 mph while moving from Griffin to Owensville, the widest damage path of one and one-half miles through Hamilton County, IL and possibly the highest wind speed ever recorded that would categorize the killer tornado as an F-5 or F-6. The author stated there is some evidence that shows the vortex speed may have reached in excess of 318 mph. Photo by Valerie Werkmeister

Sermon of the Week: Are You Angry? By Pastor Matt Watson, Mount Vernon General Baptist Church Are you angry? Seriously. Ask yourself now. Would you, if objective, describe yourself as an angry person? God asks an angry person a simple question: “Why?” Why are you angry? The first book of the Bible is Genesis or beginnings. God made Adam and Eve giving them special power and responsibility for naming the creation. Adam and Eve had a sinless relationship, good work, food, and the presence of God. The deceiver convinced the first humans to trade life for some perceived knowledge. Adam and Eve fell short and saddled humanity with a furthered awareness, a shame, a blame, and frustration. The offspring of Adam was Cain. Frustration took the form of anger. Cain was angry. Genesis 4: 6-7 says “Then the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? . . . If you do what is right, will you not be

accepted . . . Sin desires to have you, but you must master it.” The object of your anger is not the real reason why you’re angry. We tend to take our anger out on those closest to us. The closer they are to us the easier target they are. Chances are you don’t even realize the abuse you give or receive at the hands of an angry person. You’ve been conditioned to give and receive anger. Anger is a part of what seems normal. Anger is a by-product of self-aggrandizing sin. The object of your anger reminds you of your own sin. It is not en vogue these days to confess sin. Just because you don’t confess sin doesn’t make sin go away. As a matter of fact, sin is a sickness that grows if left unchecked. If sin is indeed harmful, and it is, then why would you leave it untreated? If you had a disease in your body would you leave it untreated? If you had a condition that would end in death, and you were made aware of it, would you attempt to treat it? I think so. An-

ger is a secondary emotion anyway. Anger exists in response to a deeper rooted reality—a frustration. Why are you frustrated? The object of your anger serves to remind you of your own sin. Sin is seeking shortcuts to God’s favor. There are no shortcuts to God’s favor. There is an absolute awareness that God has of you. You may be sure that your sin will find you out (Numbers 32:23). God has an unavoidable awareness of sin. When you take shortcuts to God’s favor you functionally deny God’s power. Is God so small that you can trick him into thinking your leftovers are equivalent to your best? Acceptance, by God, is found when you are led to acknowledge His all-aware presence. God is not caught unawares. God sees your every act. He sees the secret things. The secret things belong to the Lord (Deuteronomy 29:29). Nothing is hidden that will not be made known. Victoria has no secret. Everything you think, know, feel, and do will be found out. The God-Son was widely recognized as one who exposed the true thought, feelings, and actions of people. One woman implored people to come hear the man (Christ) who told her everything she ever did. The gospels attest to this exposing person. Truth exposes lies. Light exposes darkness. God exposes the hiding. He exposed a hiding Adam and a hiding Eve. He will expose you too. Cain, in his pride, patronized God. He offered less than his best all while posing as his best. Cain was an angry poser. When your objective is to patronize God you actually deceive yourself. Anyone who minimizes sin is self-deceived and makes God out to be a liar (1 John 1:8).

violence. Cain killed Abel. Cain’s vengeance did not make him feel accepted. Cain’s vengeance led only to a temporary sating of his anger. Abel represented the faithfulness for which Cain wanted credit. Cain thought he could manage God’s favor through shortcuts. His minimizing of sin led to a maximizing of chaos. And yours does too. Cain killed Abel. People killed Christ. Cain’s unchecked anger led to further isolation. Your anger will lead to further isolation. God is willing to forgive. God’s wrath is just. A few short centuries ago, the widely acclaimed scholar Jonathan Edwards preached a well-chronicled sermon titled Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God. Some have posited that in today’s angry climate, if the sermon were to be accepted, it would need to be titled God in the Hands of Angry Sinners. God has made provision to forgive you. God sent a more able Abel to die in your place. Christ died in your place. Abel’s blood cried out. How much more does Christ’s blood cry out? “Jesus is the true and better Abel who though innocently slain has blood that cries out for our acquittal, not our condemnation (Heart, Keller, 5) (cf. Hebrews 12:24). The Bible says that while you are yet a sinner Christ has already died for you (Romans 5:8). Will you come out of hiding now? Will you level with God? Will you learn to live forgiven? The remedy for your anger is Christ alone. Try unfettered honesty, humility, and repentance before Him. Cain was angry but you don’t have to be. Pastor Matt serves at Mt. Vernon General Baptist Church. If you don’t have a local church to call home, we welcome you any Sunday. To learn more go to www.mvgb.org.

SCHOOL

MV School Board hires insurance help By Pam Robinson The Mount Vernon School Board approved several important expenditures at its Monday, March 19, meeting. Perhaps most important for school district personnel is the one-year agreement with Brown & Brown as a group insurance consulting firm. Recommended by the school district’s insurance committee, Brown & Brown will provide services for a fee not to exceed $24,000. School corporation business manager Loren Evans said that the district would benefit from dealing with both the office in Newburgh and in Indianapolis. Even more to the point, Evans emphasized that Brown & Brown would save the district money. After the meeting, he confirmed that savings as approximately $35,000 in the first year. It was noted that the consulting firm has been entrusted with accounts for more than 150 Indiana school districts. Also approved was the renovation of Hedges Central library for the school district’s information systems department. The board accepted the low bid of Danco Construction in the amount of $820,845, the company’s base bid. Danco also submitted the low alternate #1 bid of $26,000 for the gymnasium lighting at Hedges, which the board accepted as well. The work will thus be completed within the one-million dollar

budget allocated for the project. Finally, the board granted permission to advertise for bids to provide access control systems for Mount Vernon Junior High School, Marrs Elementary School and Hedges Central. Access control systems are already in place at Mount Vernon High School along with West Elementary and Farmersville Elementary schools. Calling the access control system “a tremendous advantage,” Superintendent Tom Kopatich said the district is hoping to have it in place at all schools by the start of school this August. In other business: • The board confirmed the employment of Ashley Burke and Mary Michel as cheerleader sponsors at Mount Vernon High School. • The board granted permission for Sunday use of the baseball field to the Mount Vernon Cub Baseball Team and to the American Legion Owen Dunn Post #5 on dates requested. • The board approved the use of facilities for summer 2012 athletic camps. Superintendent Tom Kopatich noted that financial sponsors will support students unable to pay for camp. The Mount Vernon School Board will meet again Monday, April 2, 2012, at 5:45 p.m. in the junior high media center.

MVJHS musical production is comical scream Mount Vernon Junior High School will stage “The Creepy Creeps of Pilgrim Road,” a monstrously funny musical with characters reminiscent of the Addams Family. Performances will be in the Performing Arts Center of the high school at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 13, and at 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 14. Admission will be $7 for adults and $5 for students (K-12) and senior citizens (65+). Tickets are on sale at the school’s office and will be available at the door. The Creeps, a charming though unusual family, live in a dilapidated mansion in Edible Falls. Heading the home is Sinbad and his captivating spouse, Tarantula. Also, you will meet up with their teenage niece, Sally, gorgeous maid, Lullaby Jones, and a butler who thinks he’s a billy

goat. Unfortunately, Flora Limetree, a local society dragon, loathes the Creeps. Each year, she enters Pilgrim Road in the All-American Street Contest. But every year the street loses, in her opinion, due to the appearance of the Creeps’ house. Scheming with her nephew, Bubba, Flora redraws the town limits, and the Creeps find themselves outsiders. A guest arrives (Mortimer Weird) and falls in love with Sinbad’s grandmother, who is raising crocodiles in the dungeon. Additionally, there are pirates, vultures, talking clock, a lively ghostly portrait and an ancient telephone operator who lives in the walls. Eventually, the Creeps are back ‘on the map;’ and thanks to them, Pilgrim Road wins the contest. Toss in a number of showstopping tunes (“Hickory,

Dickory Dock,” “It’s Nice to Have a Man Around the Dungeon,” “This Beautiful House,” and many more original delights) and you have a funny musical that will provide great family entertainment! Director Cheryl Weber indicates that the musical will be a hilariously funny musical that will appeal to all age groups. “Get ready to laugh when the Creeps come to life on stage”, she indicates. Over 40 middle school students comprise the intriguing cast of characters including a billy goat and a mummy. The Director indicates that the students have been having a great time learning their lines, the choreography, and the music. Bring the entire family and enjoy and let our talented junior high students entertain you.

Mount Vernon Food Pantry sees 60 percent February increase By Pam Robinson Erin Hollinger, director of the Mount Vernon Food Pantry, reports a 60 percent increase in food distribution between this February and last February. Although she hopes the spike in usage means people want to check out the new location at Hedges Central, she fears it means much more need in the area. February is typically the month with lowest usage of the food pantry. Fortunately, donors can receive more than matching funds for every dollar or every item given for the Mount Vernon Food Pantry in what’s left of March and the entire month of April. The New York-based Feinstein Foundation distributes $1 million to combat hunger in the United States to applying food pantries. Readers may visit www.feinsteinfoundation.org for more information. Hollinger said the foundation has received the application from Mount Vernon Food Pantry. For donations to count for foundation funding, donors must earmark their nonperishable items and monetary gifts with the notation “Feinstein Foundation.” The Feinstein Foundation awards $1 for each food item donated and provides an even greater return on monetary donations. “At the end, we total up how much money and how many food items came in,” Hollinger explains. “They compare it to everyone else who collected, and you get a proportionate amount of that million dollars. Last year, there was a pantry in Evansville

who raised $1,000 on their own, and they received $5,300 from this organization. It’s a very good time to make your donation dollars count without doing anything extra.” Right now is the perfect time, for example, to adopt a kid for $150 to receive food for the summer. Now in its third year, the adopt-a-kid program was funded last year through the memorial donations for Rev. Thomas Buffington and year before last through the food pantry itself. The program provides free lunch to all children served by the free and reduced school lunch program. Nearly 70 kids received the assistance last summer. Of course, anyone may specify any amount toward adopting a kid. All donations are welcome. Patrons are asked, again, to remember to earmark their donations through the end of April for the Feinstein Foundation. The Mount Vernon Food Pantry will proudly display its new rooms at Hedges Central School on Tuesday, April 17, from 5 to 7 p.m. Hollinger and her volunteers will answer questions about donating time and treasure to the food pantry while guests enjoy light refreshments. The pantry operates under a new format in 2012. Instead of calling ahead to schedule a time to come get a pre-filled box of food, clients come to the pantry during business hours and take a number. When a family’s name is called, the client goes through the

Families choose what they want and get the most from their food order. A spacious waiting room is now provided for families until it’s

their turn to shop. The Mount Vernon Food Pantry is open for shopping every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to noon and again on Friday from 3 to 6 p.m. The pantry may be accessed through Hedges entrance #2 located on Canal Street. A sidewalk sign donated by Gottman’s points the way.

Demo Women’s Club Card Party set for April 10 The Posey County Democratic Women’s Club will hold its annual Democrat Card Party on Tuesday, April 10, 2012, at 6:30 p.m., at the St. Matthew School Gym in Mount Vernon. Everyone is invited to attend.

This year’s card party theme is “Let Freedom Ring”. The evening will feature barbecue and sandwiches. Other refreshments, including homemade cookies and candy, chips, and soft drinks, will be available.

Cost of admission is $2, and there will be many door prizes, a silent auction, country store, and raffle with $450 in cash prizes. For more information, call Linda Curtis at 838-5755 or Becky Higgins at 2047388.

Earth Day Lessons can apply to Investors, Too Thomas Ruder April 22 is Earth Day. Started in 1970 by Senator Gaylord Nelson, Earth Day is designed to create awareness of the Earth’s environment and to encourage conservation efforts. If you and your family participate in Earth Day events, such as helping clean up a local park or taking materials to a recycling center, you know the benefits of doing your part to inprove your surroundings. But are you doing everything you can to upgrade your environment for investing? Actually, as an investor, you can learn a lot from the lessons of Earth Day. Here arc just a few ideas: • Diversfy. If you’re familiar with Earth Day, you know that it involves multiple activities, including educational programs and do-it-now action steps. This variety is necessary because protecting our environment is a complex challenge. Meeting your short- and long-term investment goals can be challenging, too, but you’ll have a better chance of success by diversifying your investment dollars across a range of vehicles, such as stocks, bonds, government securities and certificates of deposit (CDs). Diversification can help re-

duce the impact of volatility on your portfolio — and high volatility can be an obstacle for some people trying to follow an investment strategy. (Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee a profit or protect against loss.) • Seek growth opportunities. Some people plant trees on Earth Day, hoping to watch them grow over the years. As an investor, you, too, need to plant “seeds” today in the hopes of giow Lb in the future. That means, among other things, that when you purchase growthoriented investments for the long term, you need to try to stick with them and not “uproot” them after short-term declines in price. • Develop good habits. If you attend an Earth Day program, you will learn about many eco-friendly habits you can develop, from using energy-efficient light bulbs to recycling old computers and other electronic devices. To invest successfully, it’s important to develop good habits, such as slaying invested in all types of markets, seeking tax-advantaged investments and reviewing your portfolio regularly to make sure it’s still appropriate for your risk tolerance,

time horizon and long-term objectives. Avoid “toxins. “At some Earth Day events, you can learn about “green” substitutes tbr toxic chemicals in common household cleaners. When you invest, you may also want to avoid “toxins” — or at least “toxic” behaviors, such as chasing after “hot” stocks that are inappropriate for your needs or trading so frequently that you run up big tes, commissions and taxes. • Think long term. Above all else, Earth Day is a reminder to us that we all want to leave a healthy planet to future generations — which means we need to make moves that are beneficial for the environment over the long term, When you invest, you also need to focus on the future. That means following a long-term investment strategy and not getting sidetracked by short-term events, such as political crises and economic downturns. Earth Day comes once a year, but its lessons can have a lasting impact on our environment. When you apply these same lessons to your own investment environment, you may be able to achieve some healthy results.

Rolling up Poseyville sidewalks becomes bigger task By Valerie Werkmeister Sidewalk travel just got a little safer for some Poseyville sidewalks. Work recently began to replace or install new sidewalks along Sharp Street. The project is possible due to a grant from the Indiana Department of Highways’, Safe Routes to School Program. Poseyville applied for and received the grant last year. The program’s focus is to encourage students to walk to school. Poseyville Town Council President Bruce Baker contends that it is often not safe for students to cross Main Street at Locust Street. Cars that park along businesses on Main Street make it difficult to see oncoming traffic. The new sidewalk encourages students to

cross a few streets down by taking Fletchall Street to Sharp Street. A painted crosswalk will mark Highway 165 at Sharp Street. There will also be a painted crosswalk with flashing lights on Fletchall Street in front of North Elementary. Signs will also be posted notifying drivers to reduce their speed in the school zone. The project is fully funded through the Indiana Department of Highways and did not require Poseyville to match any funds. They also completed the bid process and hired the low bidder, JBI Construction, Inc. with their $159,981.50 bid. Following the sidewalk construction, the land will be leveled and re-seeded for grass.

OPINION

Life is not fair on any level, learning to deal with it is cure I have always preached to friends and family that “Life’s not fair. It never has been and never will be. Get used to it and deal with it.” There is no better proof of that than what has happened in the National Football League in the past TRUTH... few weeks. The days of loy- STRANGER alty and rewards for perfor- THAN mance are over for all of us at FICTION all levels of our world. BY DAVE Like most of the rest of you, PEARCE I have learned that it doesn’t matter what you have done for a company or what you had to go through to achieve it, the bottom line is “What have you done for me TODAY? Or What ELSE are you going to do for me?” Case in point. Peyton Manning was not only one of the best quarterbacks to don an NFL uniform, he led the Indianapolis Colts to a Super Bowl Championship and to many exciting years in the playoffs. But an injury that sidelined him for one year showed the level of allegiance his team’s owner had to him. Peyton has been the consummate quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts. He played as well as anyone, worked harder than anyone, and kept his name and life clean. He enjoyed the highest level of success. He always said he wanted to play for only one NFL team, the Indianapolis Colts. What did it get him? One injury cost him his job. Despite the fact that he will probably come back and be an effective quarterback in Denver, he doesn’t have enough years left in his professional football life to build the dynasty in Denver that he built in Indy. Shame on you, George Irsay! Then there’s Tim Tebow. Through no fault of his own, John Elway saw a chance to pick up a seasoned veteran quarterback in Manning. Who can blame him for taking advantage of the opportunity? Tim Tebow could!

But he didn’t. He showed the substance that has made him a favorite in college and in the pros. He gracefully took it in stride when he was traded to the New York Jets. But, Mr. Elway, let’s take a minute to look back at what Mr. Tebow did for your team just last year. He took over your team when it was four or five games under .500 and headed nowhere. He engineered winning drive after winning drive and got your team into the playoffs. Not only did he get your team into the playoffs, another of his heroics eliminated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round. Not an easy task considering the “talent” that surrounded him. So, Mr. Elway, what did you do to reward him? You traded him away. I can’t say that I blame you because Manning is a proven winner. But until you surround Peyton with some receivers that can get the job done, I believe you will see why Tim Tebow maximized what you gave him with which to work. Manning will go to Denver and IF he remains healthy will continue to be an effective quarterback. The Broncos might get back into the playoffs next year. Will they be any better than they were under Tebow this year? Probably not. You have to realize where the Broncos were with Kyle Orton at the helm. Orton is no slouch but Tebow came in and did what he had to do to produce results. Denver does not have the receiving corps to make them a successful team with a throwing quarterback, even if he is Peyton Manning. You’ll hear people say, “It’s just business” and I can appreciate that. However, it is also an example of what has gotten our country into the mess that it is into today. It is business and greed. It is doing whatever it takes

of so they can see that it’s not the answer. ~Jim Carrey And then there’s perhaps my theme song: Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. ~Mark Twain

Old faithful charitable organizations seem safest places to donate

Letter to the Editor Indiana Farm Bureau Thanks Governor Indiana Farm Bureau thanks Gov. Mitch Daniels for signing into law the act that reforms Indiana’s inheritance tax. Senate Enrolled Act 293, which was signed today, phases out the state inheritance tax over a nine-year period beginning in 2013 and increases from $100,000 to $250,000 the amount that may be inherited by the next generation before the inheritance tax is assessed. The increased exemptions will be in effect for the estates of anyone who died on or after Jan. 1, 2012. Phase-out begins Jan. 1, 2013, and the tax will be fully eliminated by 2021. “Every farmer dreams of passing his farm down to his son or daughter, and the repeal of the inheritance tax eliminates at least one important barrier to that happening,” said IFB President Don Villwock. “This has been a policy objective for Indiana Farm Bureau for decades, and IFB members would like to thank the governor and the General Assembly for making it happen.” Cooking for the Cure thanks everyone The MSD of North Posey Cooks (North Posey, North Elementary and South Terrace) their families and friends were Cookin' for a Cure Sunday, March 18. We served 327 Chicken Dinners and raised $2650.50 for the North Posey Relay for Life. We would like to thank the community for their support, Dr. Camp and the School Board for providing us a place to have the dinner, Jerry Wassmer and our families and friends for donating their time and for all their help. We would also like to thank CRS OneSource, Wabash Foodservice and Rick Decker from Farm Boy for their donations to our dinner. Thank you to everyone who came to support the Cookin’ for a Cure and the North Posey Relay for Life.

to satisfy the “me” and “now” mentality that we seem to have acquired. Until we get back to a time of “us” and “we” and working together for the common good, we can forget about success on any level. As many of you know, I am a quote fanatic. Here are a few of my favorites regarding “Life.” Life is not always fair. Sometimes you get a splinter even sliding down a rainbow. ~Terri Guillemets To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funnybone. ~Reba McEntire The purpose of life is a life of purpose. ~Robert Byrne Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we’re here we should dance. ~Author Unknown A life without cause is a life without effect. ~Barbarella Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished. If you’re alive, it isn’t. ~Richard Bach Life is simple, it’s just not easy. ~Author Unknown You fall out of your mother’s womb, you crawl across open country under fire, and drop into your grave. ~Quentin Crisp In spite of the cost of living, it’s still popular. ~Kathy Norris Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once. ~Lillian Dickson We are born wet, naked, and hungry. Then things get worse. ~Author Unknown Life is a cement trampoline. ~Howard Nordberg Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be. ~Grandma Moses I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed

As current events reveal, my teenage daughter Jessica and I did well to research the “Kony 2012” campaign and to withhold our financial support. We are now following the eye-opening news on Jason Russell, creator of the viral YouTube video, “Kony 2012,” that pleads for the capture of Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony. According to news reports, Russell was detained by police and hospitalized after exhibiting “bizarre behavior” in public. Just how bizarre he acted depends on which report someone reads. Suffice it to say, anyone can Google for results and see enough to cause a dropped jaw. Of course, it’s a logical fallacy to condemn the cause over the alleged antics of the filmmaker. Fortunately, more reputable charities have taken up the cause of helping the Ugandan people. One Posey County News reader phoned me about the work, for example, of Joyce Meyer Ministries in Uganda.

“A Goat Song”

Peg misses Curly. Curly had a white beard, a goatee as it were. Curly was stubborn, did no work around the house and expected to go where he wanted when he wanted. Peg said Curly reminded her of someone who was already at JPeg Ranch. But Curly reminded me of my oldest brother, C.E. Redwine, not because of any similarities between the too, but because of my brother’s own goat tragedy. GAVEL Sonny, what we call C.E., GAMUT taught me how to box, fish and play baseball. When BY JUDGE he wasn’t putting me or J IM REDWINE my other brother, Philip, in a headlock to make us do chores, Sonny imparted lessons he had to learn for himself. Our father had to raise himself. He liked sports, but knew little about them. Sonny was our coach. Another tough lesson Sonny had to learn for himself turned into his own goat song. I had his woeful experience well in mind when Peg suggested we keep Curly. My brother and sister-in-law, Shirley, decided to buy goats to clear brush from their property. That they remain married is a testament to their strong bond. Neither of them understood what a bad idea it was to transport goats in a passenger van or to let goats roam without vigorous restraints. However, I had read my brother’s account of their tragic experience in his book. A Small Taste of Redwine, and was forewarned. After reading how his goats had destroyed his van, stood on the hood and cab of his new Dodge pickup and cost Sonny and Shirley large amounts for electric fencing and other repairs, I knew a goat song was not one I wished to hear. However, this does not mean I did not admire Curly. Although he was only with us one night, I found him a kindred spirit when it came

to responding to incessant commands to do things he did not wish to do, such as anything. Curly knew his own mind and felt no compunction to change it. After watching Curly deal with nascent spring vegetation and deposit guano whenever and wherever the spirit moved him, I had an even greater appreciation for those marvelous ancient Greeks and their marvelous tragedies or tragodia, goat songs. History is divided on why the Greeks called their great dramas goat songs. Was it because a goat was offered as a prize about 450 B.C. or so for the best play? Was it because goats were sacrificed to the gods? Or, perhaps, it was due to the goatskins worn by the actors in the earliest Greek plays. Or, does anyone really know, and, perhaps, does anyone besides me really care? Regardless, the tragedy of Curly, our own goat song, continues to resonate at JPeg Ranch because Peg got so attached to Curly within a mere 12 hours. Of course, Peg gets sentimentally involved with each of the 23 hummingbirds that migrate in and out each year and she still mourns the blue heron I drove away from our pond before it devoured every fish we had. It is probably not a coincidence that Curly the goat arrived at our door just as winter was ending and the Vernal Equinox was nigh. Capricorn, the goat, appears at the Winter Solstice and should be long gone by spring. Maybe Curly was star-crossed. Still, when I get up in the early morning, especially with Daylight Savings Time, and look out on our deck, I kind of hope to see a free spirit carelessly banging his horns against the glass door and demanding attention. On the other hand, I have no desire to replace the door and Mrs. Hadley might sue me if I were to put Curly on the menu.

LIVING FOR THE JOURNEY BY PAM ROBINSON org—share details about some of her work there. By her own report, Meyer says 83 percent of her funding is actually used to help people in the U.S. and abroad. More direction came from my husband. He suggested a look at PBS for information. I struck gold there and found interviews that aired in November 2010 with some of the children Joseph Kony abducted and forced into his army. World Vision's Children of War Rehabilitation Center in Gulu, Uganda, was then trying to help these children, now young adults, heal from atrocious war crimes. A recognized Christian humanitarian organization, World Vision is transparent about its fi-

nances as well and reports 86 percent of donations help those in need. In just a quick visit to their website (www. worldvision.org), I found counseling efforts continue alongside hunger relief efforts and opportunities to sponsor today’s children in Uganda. Jessica and I have talked about the difficulty in knowing whom to trust with our small charitable donations. The “Kony 2012” scandal has thus paved the way for adult conversation between the two of us concerning gathering information about the character and conduct of organizations and their leaders. We need good information before we support a cause, financially or emotionally. A 30-minute infomercial just doesn’t carry the credibility of a PBS documentary. After considerable discussion, Jessica and I have decided a good rule of thumb is to support the work of well-established and wellknown organizations with proven track records. We especially like the American Red Cross. Our Posey County area coordinator, Tracy Reese, confirmed Red

Cross international aid has been addressing the food crisis in the Horn of Africa, including, to some extent, Uganda. In addition, she pointed to training provided in Uganda for disaster preparedness. Jessica and I have decided it’s a safe bet to trust Red Cross on the international scene, much like we trust the American Red Cross with national disaster relief. We have witnessed the local help from the American Red Cross to Harrisburg and Henryville tornado victims—and just last year to Posey County flood victims. Otherwise, as far as overseas relief efforts are concerned, we consider it safe to donate to our own Presbyterian missions. Joyce Meyer Ministries, World Vision, American Red Cross and the Presbyterian Church may not be making headlines, but they are helping people all over the world. I’m sure my readers will think of additional trustworthy charitable organizations. We can be thankful their leaders don’t need to run half-clothed through the streets to gain attention.

Dangerous ‘synthetic’ drugs now illegal One of the most important bills passed this session, I believe, makes a number of formerly legal but hazardous substances illegal to possess, transport or sell in the State of Indiana. I feel strongly that this bill will save lives by keeping dangerous drugs off store shelves and out of the hands of Hoosier youth. House Enrolled Act 1196 has been signed by the governor and strengthens the state’s ban on dangerous synthetic drugs designed to mimic the effects of marijuana and cocaine. Indiana banned the sale of bath salts, during the 2011 session, after hundreds of overdoses were reported; however, makers of the drugs continued to slightly change the base compounds to avoid the law that was put into effect. This bill closes necessary loopholes and makes policing these harmful substances more effective. With the bill’s enactment, more than 60 chemical compounds found in synthetic drugs like

“Spice” and “Bath Salts” were immediately added to the state’s list of illegal substances. It was imperative that we pass this law. Public perception, often, is that if it is being legally sold, then it is safe. Not the case here. ‘Bath salts’ have effects similar to amphetamines and can cause damage to the nervous system. Now that the law is effective, we need retailers and citizens to comply with the new law and get the drugs safely disposed of. The goal of the legislation is to make our state safer, not close stores and fill up our jails. To provide a method for retailers and private citizens to dispose of these now illegal substances all Indiana State Police Posts across Indiana will permit any quantity of these substances to be dropped off at any state police post from Friday, March 16 through Sunday, March 25, 2012. The closest State Police Post near our community is the District 35 Post located

This is not an amnesty program, the products are now illegal to possess and retailers should already have these products removed from their shelves. Retailers that continue to sell synthetic marijuana and other banned synthetic drugs will be stripped of their retail merchant certificate of business, shutting them down for one year. Affiliates of the business – including owners, officers, partners, directors or managers – will be banned from obtaining any other retail merchant certificates for one year. I am pleased that the General Assembly was able to address this issue, considering the urgency of the problem. This law has been the successful collaboration of state legislators and law enforcement officers alike. The Hoosier state is now a safer place to be and lives will be saved.

Valhalla 5K walk/run set for April 28 By Valerie Werkmeister It’s well past New Year’s. Are you one of the many who had every good intention of following through on your resolution to get in shape, but your motivation just didn’t hold out? Brandon Barrett is offering the opportunity to redeem yourself. The North Posey history teacher and coach is organizing the second annual Valhalla 5K. Last year’s first 5K run and twomile walk was a huge success. The community really embraced the event and supported Barrett’s efforts by providing plenty of door prizes and monetary support. This year, Barrett says there are even more door prizes and sponsors. Barrett and his wife, Jill, are avid participants in other area runs or walks. They always wondered why Poseyville didn’t have a 5k and decided to organize one of their own. The event is set for Saturday, April 28, beginning at 8:30 a.m. at North Posey Jr/Sr. High School. The course is set to begin on High School Road and continue onto Hunter Road. Interested participants can pick up a registration form in many local businesses in Poseyville and Wadesville including Ackerman Chiropractic and Fitness Center, Little Crazy Daisy, Hite’s Pizza, Wadesville Subway and Fifth Third Bank, to name a few. Additional sponsors are listed on the website. A registration form is also available online by visiting the Valhalla 5k Run/Walk website at: https://www.sites.google.com/site/valh5k Entry fees for adults who register before

April 14 are $18. Anyone who registers after that date must pay $20. Students will only be charged $12. This year, a kids dash will be offered free of charge to children eight and under beginning at 9:15 a.m. Every child who participates will receive a medal. A $100 cash door prize will be given away this year in addition to the 20-25 door prizes already collected for the event. The top five walkers will receive a medal and the overall fastest walker will receive a plaque. The top two male and female runners will receive a medal and the overall fastest male and female runner will receive a plaque. “I know we are competing against three other runs in the Evansville area that day, but we are the only one to offer so many door prizes,” Barrett said. Barrett’s goal is to donate all the proceeds from the event to North Posey’s Athletic Department. However, that’s not his only goal. He feels strongly about encouraging fitness. “Personally, I love the competition. But it also just good for the community to get out and walk or run. Last year I actually had some people who had never run before but they trained for it and did it,” he said. Barrett and his wife, Jill, are avid participants in other area runs or walks. They always wondered why Poseyville didn’t have a 5k and decided to organize one of their own. Additional information can also be found on Facebook by searching for Valhalla 5k or by e-mail at valhalla5k@gmail.com

Tales & Scales to perform two highly acclaimed shows on April 15 For the first time ever, Tales & Scales will be performing two of their most recent and highly acclaimed shows in a back-to-back double feature event. Each show opens with The Enchanted Horn, followed by a short intermission and a presentation of The Frog Who Wanted to be a Singer. Performances will be at 1 p.m. and again at 4 p.m. in the Boho Theatre at the D’Alto Studio of Performing Arts located at 303 Stockwell Rd, Suite B in Evansville. This event is open to the public and recommended for all ages. Tickets for the performances are $10 each and can be purchased by calling the D’Alto Studio of Performing Arts at (812) 4024166. Children three and under are free. Founded in 1986, and now in its 26th year, Tales & Scales continues to ignite the imaginations of young people through innovative and compelling interdisciplinary performing arts educational experiences and musictelling – a unique blend of music, story, theatre, and creative movement. Tales & Scales

annually reaches over 25,000 young people, touring original musictelling productions with companion workshops designed specifically for the young people in schools throughout Southwestern Indiana and across the nation. The Frog Who Wanted to Be a Singer Based upon the awardwinning book by Linda Goss with music by David Baker, this jazz-infused, highly interactive Tales & Scales musictale is an African American folk tale about the birth of the rhythm and blues. The story goes that at the ‘Big Time Weekly Concert’, everyone in the forest knows that only the birds are allowed to sing. That is everyone but Frog, who believes he can be a singer. So he practices singing to himself on his lily pad day and night until one day he decides: “I’m tired of holding all of this inside me. I want to sing, I can sing, and I’m going to be a singer!” What happens as frog courageously sets out to achieve his dream to share his singing at the weekly concert surprises everyone, including Frog himself.

The Enchanted Horn Tales & Scales is happy to bring back a classic fairytale with a modern music twist! A hard-working but innocent young man named Jacques sets off from his master’s house to see the world. Along the way he acquires two strange powers - the ability to have all his commands obeyed and a magic horn that causes all to dance whenever he plays. Jacques is warned that his new powers must be used wisely and with care, yet he becomes increasingly manipulative, careless, and reckless, using these powers for his own enjoyment. After Jacques gets a sudden surprise, he learns that hard work and dedication are the only true ways to have your dreams come true.

By Valerie Werkmeister With growth comes change. The 2010 Census showed enough growth within Posey County to necessitate changes for some voters. In Marrs Township, an additional precinct had to be added to create a fourth precinct, Marrs West. In addition, some of the polling locations for Marrs Township changed. Marrs Center voters should now go to New Beginnings Christian Fellowship at 11420 Middle Mount Vernon Road. The new Marrs North polling place is located at St. Peter’s UMC at 2800 St. Phillips Road. Marrs West voters should go to Immanuel Church of Christ at 5812 Ford Road. The only polling place that has not changed is Marrs South. Voters may still go to Salem United Church of Christ at 11325

Wadesville’s Jim Wilson believes in a daily dose of laughter Long-time Wadesville resident Jim Wilson appreciates a good laugh—even at his own expense. Today’s North Posey band boosters still talk about his antics over the 13 years he and his wife Faye supported the band. Likewise, Jim’s coworkers at Hirsch’s Store in Poseyville count on his goodnatured fun to make the day go by faster. The Wilsons could have stopped their road trips with the band once their daughter Erin graduated from North Posey High School in 1994, but high school band members held a special place in their hearts. Young

and old alike still recall how Jim provided comic relief when the band bus got stuck in traffic as it headed to a state competition: he turned somersaults up and down the highway. The sight got the kids’ minds off their troubles and lifted the burden of their anxiety. Perhaps Jim learned such strategy for managing stress when his number was called up in September 1967, and he completed a one-year tour of duty in Vietnam as an Army military policeman. Back home again, he served 38 years at General Electric, starting in extrusion and ending in the research and development lab (with a couple

stops on the way to work with sheet plastic and on the lines in the regrind room). Faced with an overwhelming number of projects at home upon retirement, Jim applied for work at Hirsch’s. He celebrates 5 years with the store in May. “I couldn’t stand being at home,” Jim says, adding that he jumped from one project to the next without ever finishing any of them. “I’ve had so much fun here at the store. I’ve met some of the most wonderful people around while working here.” Otherwise, Jim built Wadesville Christian Day Care, where his wife Faye has nurtured pre-

schoolers for the past 28 years. Wadesville Christian Church is home away from home for the Wilsons. Faye has been at Wadesville Christian Church since she was three, and Jim has shared her passion for the church since the couple started dating. Jim also helped the GE Elfuns to build St. Philip’s Riding Hope facilities, allowing horses to help humans, specifically special needs children. Jim and Faye will celebrate 43 years of marriage on November 22. They treasure their only child, daughter Erin, and four grandchildren. And that’s no laughing matter.

Wet Cats honored for another great year An undefeated regular season, a sweep of the big meets, Big Eight Conference and Sectional champions, seventh place at the state meet.

The boys’ season wasn’t as impressive as the girls, but it was still a very good one. Both Wet Wildcat teams were honored with a banquet and awards ceremony last week at the high school cafeteria. Coach Larry Zoller presented awards and reviewed both swim seasons with help from assistant Brenda Zoller. Girls receiving varsity letters included Clara Baggett, Kendyl Bourne, Kelsey Bruno, Rachel Burke, Taylor Cullman, Madison Denning, Amanda Duckworth, Samantha Gowdy, Emily Harris, Mary Klueh, Erika McCormick, Katie McDonald, Samantha Reese, Amy Steele and Kelsey Turner.

Last winter banquet celebrates New Harmony School

Seniors AJ Eaton, Zachary Sollman, and Elliott Lange received their team uniforms during the final New Harmony School Winter Sports Banquet. Photo by Betty Barnett By Steve Joos This would be the last time that New Harmony High School would honor its winter athletes, and as such, last week’s Kiwanis Club banquet and awards’ ceremony became a celebration of the school. Each member of the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams were presented with their jerseys by former squad members, mainly those who were past recipients of the Tri-Kappa, Ricky Knowles and Kiwanis Awards, while

this year’s high school basketball coaches (Jennifer Toopes and Jim Little, respectively) were presented game balls from the last Rappite teams in the school’s history, while game balls were also presented to the players who scored the last points from each team’s final home game, as well as assistant coaches Shawn Worman and Allen Buck, Andrew McDaniel and Jamison Buck. Clint Mathews scored the last points for the boys’

team, while Madison Worman put in the last bucket for the Lady Rappites. Toopes reviewed her team’s season and presented varsity letters to Worman, Kendall Morris, Kelsey Owen, Kaitlyn Newman, Kendall Wilson, Jordan Lyke, Jessica Deckard-Mills and Alyssa Scherzinger. Wilson was named the team’s most improved player, while Worman received the defensive award, as well as the offensive award after averaging 13.4 points per

game and hitting 58 of 67 free throws. The rebounding award was shared by Owen (10.5 boards per game and three double-doubles), Morris and Morgan Matthews (who averaged nearly a doubledouble per game with 9.3 boards and 10.9 points per contest). Owen’s 23 boards against Cannelton will be considered the school’s permanent all-time record, and Matthews’ 37 points were second only to Jill Reynolds’ 48 tallies on the Lady Rappites’ single-game list. Morris was the recipient of the Sportsmanship award. Toopes thanked the community for its support and called the girls’ team the most unselfish group she has worked with. Little also reviewed the boys’ season and presented awards to his team. Varsity letters went to Matthews, Caleb McDaniel, Elliott Lange, Kyle Whitmore, Zach Sollman, Tyler Wright, Thomas Steagall, A.J. Eaton, Dakota Wasson, Nathan Spann and Ryan Blackwell. Lange was named the Kiwanis Club basketball award winner for this season. Lange was the boys’ team’s leading rebounder and its leader in free throw

percentage, while also receiving the Labyrinth Award. Whitmore was honored as the team’s assist and free throw percentage leader. Other award winners included Matthews (most charges taken), Steagall (defense) and McDaniel (sportsmanship). The uniforms of Whitmore and Lyke were retired and will be displayed in town. The winter Tri-Kappa sportsmanship award went to Morgan Matthews. Abby Deckard was named the recipient of the Ricky Knowles Memorial Award and was also presented with the fall Tri-Kappa Award after receiving it at the volleyball team banquet. The family of the late Glenn Scherzinger was presented with the plaque in memory of the longtime New Harmony counselor and game official. Longtime New Harmony assistant coach Bill Loveridge presented the plaque to Scherzinger’s wife, Margaret Scherzinger, and children Wesley and Alyssa Scherzinger. Loveridge was also given an “NH” for his years of support for the girls’ team. Other presenters included longtime coach Rick Johnson, Lois Mattino Gray,

Dawn Worman, Darvin Barnes (representing the New Harmony Kiwanis Club), Andrew McDaniel, Diane Matthews (for TriKappa), Trent Creek, Mark Johnson, Casey Trela, Colin Wasson, Sara Matthews, Debbie Lyke, Julie Schultz, Wesley Scherzinger, Blaine Worman, Misty Deckard, Jason Wilson and Lisa Trela. Athletic director and Superintendent Fran Thoele served as master of ceremonies for the evening. The boys’ basketball team presented a commemorative plaque to Little in recognition of his efforts at New Harmony, while the girls presented a similar award to Toopes and her assistant. There was also a slide presentation reviewing the past season and the efforts of the players who will be departing at the end of the school year. Teams always present gifts to their coaches at postseason banquets, while coaches always look back at their seasons and thank the players and community for their support. So it was at New Harmony on one March night last week. Unfortunately, it was a little bit sadder this time, because it would be the last one.

Kendall Bourne headed for Hanover Kendall Bourne wanted to show she could play golf well enough to reach the Indiana State girls’ meet in her senior year of high school The Mount Vernon standout fell short of that goal, but she will take her game to the next level this fall. The Lady Wildcats’ two-time Regional qualifier has signed a national letter of intent to attend Hanover College and play golf for the Lady Panthers. “I just fell in love with the campus,” Bourne said of the Southeastern Indiana school. “It’s close to my relatives, it has a nice golf course and it has the major that I want.” Bourne hopes to major in physical education, with a minor in either ge-

ography or health, with plans for a teaching career. Bourne has qualified for the IHSAA girls’ golf Regional in each of the last two seasons and was fourth in this year’s Big Eight Conference girls’ meet, carding a 74, for her best 18-hole round. “It’s been stressful,” Bourne said of her senior year. “I’ve been working hard to get better and have a good season. We did all right.” Lady Wildcats’ coach Dave Bell expressed his satisfaction with Bourne’s plans. “I excited for Kendyl and I’m proud of her,” the coach said. “I’m glad that she can continue her golf career in college.” The senior was also a

key part of the Lady Wet Wildcats’ swim program for the past four seasons, culminating in perhaps one of the best teams in the program’s history with this season’s seventhplace finish. The daughter of Brenda and Clay Bourne, Kendyl chose Hanover over Southern Indiana, Murray State, Bellarmine and Trine. An NCAA Division III school, Hanover was third in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference meet, carding a team score of 702, missing second place by two strokes (Transylvania shot a 700), including a second-round 350, and tying Franklin (the conference champion with a 676) for the lowest score of the round.

The Lady Cats won every event except diving in the Big 8 Conference Meet. Katie Boarman won the 200- IM and 100 breaststroke. Sanders won the fleestyle and 100 backstroke. Other champions were Benthall in the 100 freestyle, Schlottman in the 500 freestyle and Kermiciev in the 100 butterfly. All three relay teams won. The Swim Cats won the sectional with 391 points, beating second-place Evansville Memorial by 175 points. Katie Boarman broke the 1998 sectional record in the 200 1M with a 2:09.22 and the 200 medley relay team broke a seven-year pool record with a time of 1:52.72. Sanders broke the school record in the 50 freestyle with a time of 25.11 At the state meet, Katie Boarman took fifth place in the 200 individual medley with a 2:08.87 and eighth in the 100 breaststroke with a 1:08.36. The 200 freestyle and 200 medley relay teams finished fifth place and the 400 freestle relay team finished 14th. 2001 Boys Cross Country Team What a fantastic sea-

son the 2001 Boys Cross Country Team had. The Wildcats had an undefeated record of 57-0 and won all five of the invitationals they participated in. MVHS was the Big 8 Conference, Evansville Sectional and Pike Central Regional champs. The team finished fourth at the Terre Haute Semi-State meet and qualified for state. Squad members were B.J. Greenwell. Caleb Higginbottom, Seth Hildebrand, Brian Kay, Brent Renshaw, Taylor Sellers and Wes Werner. Don Sellers was coach. In the sectional, the cats easily outdistanced second-place Evansville North 49-81. Hildebrand took second and Greenwell placed third, Renshaw placed 11th. Hildebrand paced the Cats to their first regional title since 1993 and Greenwell finished seventh. MVHS Scored 53, Castle 91, North 94 and Reitz 104. No Wildcat finished in the top 15 at the semistate, but the team did well, finishing fourth behind Bloomington North, Terre Haute North and Northview. The Wildcats finished 20th at the state meet led by Greenwell, who finished in 106th place.

Logootee wins first state title

In 1975, Mike Wagoner was part of a Loogootee boys’ basketball team which finished second in the state finals under legendary coach Jack Butcher. Twenty-seven years later, Wagoner coached the Lions to their first state championship. Will Nonte took a feed from Conner Wittmer with less than 20 seconds to play Saturday morning and put it in for the go-ahead basket as the Lions held off the Rockville Rox 55-52 for the Class 1A State championship. Loogootee jumped out to a 17-9 lead after the first quarter and held a comfortable advantage for most of the contest, but Rockville rallied in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Lions 1710 over the last 3:56 of the can are also local honor- son Wagler of Barr-Reeve. game. able mentions, as is AddiCory Ulrich’s threepointer ignited the comeback, which culminated in baskets by Cory Jeffries and Lane Mahurin which tied the game at 52-52 with 28 ticks left on the clock as the Rox’ pressure defense finally kicked in late in the game.

Bryant Ackerman, who had been the Lions’ leading scorer throughout the season, scored 15 points with a game-high 12 rebounds and six assists. Ackerman struggled from beyond the three-point arc, hitting just three of 11, but he was money at the freethrow line, canning nine of 11 free tosses.

Whitmore earns honorable mention Hopefully, Kyle Whitmore’s next school will see the all-state boys’ basketball teams. The New Harmony junior, one of the Rappites’ leading offensive threats this season, received an honorable mention on the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association’s Underclass All-State team. The honor squads were unveiled over the weekend. Whitmore was the Rappites’ leader in assists and free throw percentage this season, while his uniform was retired and will be displaced in an exhibit commemorating New Harmony School’s history.

pumped in 14 points to lead the Rox, which made the finals for the fifth time, but made its first trip since 1918 Saturday. Rockville’s Matt Wheeler was named the recipient of the Arthur L. Trester Mental Attitude Award for Class 1A The opener at Banker’s Life Fieldhouse was also the most exciting game of the day, as Park Tudor, Geurin Catholic and Carmel each cruised to their respective state titles. In Class 2A, Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell got up before noon and made sure his team had the championship. The Indiana recruit didn’t filch any picnic baskets, but he did set an all-class record for championship-game assists, dishing out 12 in the Panthers’ 79-57 romp over Bowman Academy of Gary. The game wasn’t over until it was over, but it may have seemed that way, as the Indianapolis school took a seven-point lead at the first stop, stretched it to 40-23 at halftime and went up 65-38 entering the final chapter. Ferrell also scored 17 points and grabbed nine rebounds as Park Tudor claimed is second straight Class 2A crown. Trevor Bluiett poured in a game-high 25 points and Manhattan College-bound Paul Bayt added 18 as Park Tudor set a Class 2A title game record with six threepointers. Elijah ray paced a balanced Bowman Academy effort with 14 points. Michael Ford added 13 points, while Justin King and DeJuan Marrero each put in 12. Park Tutor’s Austin Kyker won the Trester Award. Guerin Catholic made its first trip to the state finals a successful one, pulling away in the fourth quarter for a 64-48 win over Nor-

well to claim the crown. The Golden Eagles outscored the Knights 26-14 in the fourth quarter to break open a close game. the Indianapolis school had rallied in the second quarter to overtake Norwell 23-22 at the half and opened a little more breathing room in the third chapter before blowing things open in the final chapter, leading by as many as 19 points at one time and hitting seven of 11 shots en route to the win. It was a balanced effort for Geurin, with four players in double figures and a “Rapp” sheet (Riley and Whit Rapp, that it) combining for 26 of them. Aaron Brennan and Riley Rapp each dropped in 14 points to lead the team, while Whit Rapp and Adam Huffort each put in 12. Brennan cleared 12 reboundsm, Huffort nine and Whit Rapp five. Class 3A Trester Asward recipinetnt Grant Bucher paced Norwell with 11 points and was the only Knight in double figures as leading scorer Jordan VanMeter was held to nine tallies, less than half his average (18.7 per game). In Class 4A, Carmel took its second title overall and first since 1977 by registering an 80-67 decision over Pike. Ben Gardner scored 31 points, 21 of them in the second half, to lead the Greyhounds, breaking the Class 4A state title game record set by Greg Oden. Gardner was also 15 of 19 from the charity stripe, setting new marks for free throw attempts and successful tries. Sam Curtis, who won the 4A Trester Award, scored 18 points. Xavier Turner tallied 20 points to pace Pike.

Second annual Valhalla 5K date set

JUST ASK US, WE MIGHT HAVE IT.

By Valerie Werkmeister It’s well past New Year’s. Are you one of the many who had every good intention of following through on your resolution to get in shape, but your motivation just didn’t hold out? Brandon Barrett is offering the opportunity to redeem yourself. The North Posey history teacher and coach is organizing the second annual Valhalla 5K. Last year’s first 5K run and two-mile walk was a huge success. The community really embraced the event and supported Barrett’s efforts by providing plenty of door prizes and monetary support. This year, Barrett says there are even more door prizes and sponsors. Barrett and his wife, Jill, are avid participants in other area runs or walks. They always wondered why Poseyville didn’t have a 5k and decided to organize one of their own. The event is set for SatJUST ASK US, WE MIGHT HAVE IT. urday, April 28, beginning at 8:30 a.m. at North Have Questions for us? Call 1-812-838-5200 Posey Jr/Sr. High School.

Additional

sponsors are listed on the website. A registration form is also available online by visiting the Valhalla 5k Run/Walk website at: https://www.sites.google.com/site/valh5k Entry fees for adults who register before April 14 are $18. Anyone who registers after that date must pay $20. Students will only be charged $12. This year, a kids dash will be offered free of charge to children eight and under beginning at 9:15 a.m. Every child who participates will receive a medal. A $100 cash door prize will be given away this year in addition to the 20-25 door prizes already collected for the event. The top five walkers will receive a medal and the overall fastest walker will receive a plaque. The top two male and female runners will receive a medal and the overall fastest male and female runner will receive a plaque. “I know we are competing against three other runs in the Evansville area that day, but we are the only one to offer so many door prizes,” Barrett said. Barrett’s goal is to donate all the proceeds from the event to North Posey’s Athletic Department. However, that’s not his only goal. He feels strongly about encouraging fitness. “Personally, I love the competition. But it also just good for the community to get out and walk or run.

Legals 2012-053 NOTICE OF REAL PROPERTY COMMISSIONERS’ CERTIFICATE SALE Posey County Indiana Beginning 10:00 AM, May 22nd, 2012 Local Time STATE OF INDIANA POSEY COUNTY Pursuant to the laws of the Indiana General Assembly and by resolution of the Posey County Commissioners, notice is hereby given that the following described tracts or items of real property are listed for sale for delinquent taxes and / or special assessments. The minimum sale prices listed below are less than the minimum sale prices when offered in the immediately preceding county tax sale held under I.C. 6-1.1-24-5(e) and include all fees and expenses of the county directly attributable to the Commissioners’ Certificate Sale. The Posey County Commissioners will accept bids for the certificates of sale, for the price referred to in IC 6-1.1-24-6.1(a)(3), by public auction on May 22nd, 2012 at 10:00 AM Courthouse Time at Hovey House, Commissioners’ Room. A person redeeming each tract or item of real property after the sale of the certificate must pay: (A) the amount of the minimum bid under Section 5(e) of IC 6-1.1-24 for which the tract or item of real property was last offered for sale; (B) ten percent (10%) of the amount for which the certificate is sold; (C) the attorney’s fees and costs of giving notice under IC 6-1.1-25-4.5; (D) the costs of a title search or of examining and updating the abstract of title for the tract or item of real property; (E) all taxes and special assessments on the tract or item of real property paid by the purchaser after the sale of the certificate plus interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum on the amount of taxes and special assessments paid by the purchaser on the redeemed property; and (F), all costs of sale, advertising costs, and other expenses of the county directly attributable to the sale of the certificate. If the certificate is sold for an amount more than the minimum bid under Section 5(e) of IC 6-1.1-24 for which the tract or item of real property was last offered for sale and the property is not redeemed, the owner of record of the tract or item of real property who is divested of ownership at the time the tax deed is issued may have a right to the tax sale surplus. Indiana law prohibits a person who owes delinquent taxes, special assessments, penalties, interest, or costs directly attributable to a prior tax sale, from purchasing tracts or items of real property at a tax sale. Prior to bidding at a tax sale, each bidder must affirm under the penalties for perjury that he or she does not owe delinquent taxes, special assessments, penalties, interest, costs directly attributable to a prior tax sale, amounts from a final adjudication in favor of a political subdivision in this county, any civil penalties imposed for the violation of a building code or ordinance of this county, or any civil penalties imposed by a health department in this county. Further, each bidder must acknowledge that any successful bid made in violation of the above statement is subject to forfeiture. In the event of forfeiture, the bid amount shall be applied to the delinquent taxes, special assessments, penalties, interest, costs, judgments, or civil penalties of the ineligible bidder, and a certificate will be issued to the county executive. The Auditor’s Office does not warrant the accuracy of the key numbers or street addresses published herein and any misstatement in the key number or street address does not invalidate an otherwise valid sale.
