APL Book Sale postponed

The Friends of the Alexandrian Public Library has made the decision to postpone their bi-annual book sale, a key fundraiser that helps pay for extra services at the library, slated for Saturday, April 9 and Sunday, April 10 until further notice. This event has been postponed, sadly, due to the limited number of books donated to the organization to make the sale the large-scale event the public has come to expect.

Instead of the book sale, the library will host a silent auction Friday, April 8 and Saturday, April 9 from noon to 5 p.m.

The auction will feature framed posters that formerly hung in the meeting rooms and surplus furniture and technology from the library.

Book donations will continue to be accepted at the library in the hope that the Friends will be able to offer a book sale later in the year.

The Friends regret any inconvenience this may have caused.

By Dave Pearce It is the meeting that many Posey County residents have been waiting for.

Tonight (Tuesday) at six o’clock at the Posey County Community Center at the Posey County Fairgrounds, interested residents from northern Posey County and from the St. Philips/Marrs Township area will gather.

Residents from both portions of the county will hear for the first time, along with Posey County officials, the results of an independent study conducted by Ludwig and Associates.

The results of the meeting will suggest the best place to station the county’s third ambulance.

The study cam about as the result of “Concerned Citizens of Northern Posey County” who sent representatives to the Posey County

Commissioners and Council meetings. The group learned that the Posey County Emergency Management Services had moved the ambulance that had been housed in Poseyville to the Marrs Township/St. Phillips area for at least a portion of the week.

Residents of northern Posey County feel that because of their proximity to hospital care and the fact that Interstate 64 runs through that end of the county, they should continue to have 24/7 ambulance service. Residents also have mentioned that the number of businesses and school students in the area provide excellent reasons to keep the ambulance in Northern Posey County.

But Marrs Township Fire Chief Larry Schenck also appeared before county officials

and indicated that because of the growth in the area between Mount Vernon and Evansville, they should be provided better ambulance coverage. Schenck indicated that Marrs Township Fire Department is considering purchasing its own ambulance.

According to Posey County Commission President Scott Moye, a time has been set aside to allow public comment following the announcement of the results of the study. Moye said that a time limit will be set to allow residents to express their opinions and concerns.

“We will learn the results of this study at the same time other residents of Posey County learn the results,” Moye said. “We are in the process of preparing an agenda to help the meeting run smoothly.”

Clowning around leads to permanent duo

By Pam Robinson “My whole clown life has been a conspiracy,” jokes trained clown Dave Ritzert, a native of Parker Settlement.

In September 2000, a co-worker at Keller-Crescent finally convinced him to attend the local clown school sponsored annually by Evansville’s River City Clowns. By January 2007, Ritzert was helping to teach a clown class at the school.

As his bumbling buddies had hoped, he started clowning around with one of his students, Vi Barker. Dave aka Wul-Wee and Vi aka Baggy Geenz soon became an item, often performing together.

One thing led to another until the couple exchanged marriage vows in a special ceremony held January 9, 2010.

Dave waited for his bride in his almost yard-long green and white clown shoes as she walked down the aisle in her signature orange Converse tennis shoes. Clown noses were nestled in the bouquets of the matron of honor and the brides-

New deputy Isaac Fuelling begins ‘Livin’ the Dream’

By Dave Pearce “Livin’ the dream” It’s a phrase you hear frequently but usually not meant to be taken literally.

But for Mount Vernon High School graduate Isaac Fuelling, he will get the opportunity to live his dream for real as he was sworn in as a Posey County Sheriff’s Deputy on Monday evening in Mount Vernon.

For the 24-year-old Fuelling, this is the only job he ever wanted. As a matter of fact, he took a year off from school and joined the National Guard as a military police officer in 2006 in order to gain more training for a position such as the one he started on Monday. Although it will take him five years total, Fuelling will soon complete his bachelors degree in criminal justice with a minor in sociology.

“This started a long time ago. I can remember when my Uncle Andy (Baldwin) was a Mount Vernon Police officer and I got to go ride in a parade with him and I thought that was just the coolest thing in the world,” Fuelling said. “This is a dream come true for me. This is what I have always wanted to do in this county.”

So much of a dream, in fact, that Fuelling has been doing essentially the same job for free for the past two years. He signed on as a reserve deputy in 2008. A reserve deputy has nearly equivalent powers as a deputy except they volunteer their time. Fuelling has spent countless hours in uniform when needed at special events such as the Posey County Fair, basketball games, and in certain emergencies.

Although Fuelling will be new on the payroll, he obviously will not be new to the ways and qualifications of the department. He has already trained in firearms qualifications as well as in traffic stops and self defense.

By working for over two years free for the department, Fuelling feels like he has earned a shot at being a full-fledged officer and is grateful to incoming Sheriff Greg Oeth for giving him the opportunity.

“I have known Mr. Oeth for a long time and I have been friends with his kids and I crossed my fingers and did my best at what I was doing hoping this opportunity might come along,” Fuelling said. “I just always thought if I kept doing what I was doing I might get a chance at a job. And this means the world to me. Not very many people can say that they got their ‘dream job’ but I am one of those people.”

But Fuelling is aware that besides the sacrifices he has already made, there will be plenty of sacrifices to come in the days and years ahead.

“I know it is going to be a different lifestyle than most people are accustomed to and I am going to have to get into a police officer mentality,”

Pair of Mount Vernon temp workers arrested, charged with theft

Timmy Burnett

ThePCN

By Dave Pearce Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers has announced that two arrests have been made as the result of an investigation involving the Mount Vernon Street Department.

Cody R. Davis, 22, of 830 E. Sycamore, and Timmy Burnett, 21, of 931 E. Water Street, both of Mount Vernon were arrested and made initial court appearances early this week.

According to Mount Vernon Police Chief Grant, he investigation was initiated after Street Department Chari Roy Maynard was checking into discrepancies in receipts for gas purchases in his department.

According to the arrest warrant, the pair, who were working for the City of Mount Vernon through a temporary agency, “between Sept. 1, 2010, and Jan. 31, 2011, did knowingly exert unauthorized control over a property of the Mount Vernon Street Department (a

credit card and/or gasoline).”

The warrant went on to say that the suspects had used the card and/or gasoline for their personal use.

Maynard reported that gas cards No. 5 and 55 had been set up to purchase fuel at Heritage Petroleum. The cards went missing in late January or early February.

During questioning, according to the arrest warrant, Davis admitted to putting fuel into his personal vehicle using the street department’s card and Burnett “further admitted that he at times would meet other persons at the gas pump and would fill up their vehicles using the street department’s credit card without permission and that he, at times, charges those persons $5 to $10 each time he would provide them with gasoline.”

According to the arrest warrant, the cards had been used some 48 times and had racked up a total of $2,110.17 in unauthorized purchases.

Both were arrested and released on bail.

“I have known Mr. Oeth for a long time and I have been friends with his kids and I crossed my fingers and did my best at what I was doing hoping this opportunity might come along,” Fuelling said. “I just always thought if I kept doing what I was doing I might get a chance at a job.

“I know it is going to be a different lifestyle than most people are accustomed to and I am going to have to get into a police officer

mentality,” Fuelling said.

And with Fuelling’s love for the job, he knows that whenever the time comes to choose a mate, she is going to have to accept him for the person he is and for the profession he is in. He’s been dating the same person since October and is excited that she knows what the job entails and is excited to see him get it.

Isaac is the son of Tony and Leann Fuelling of rural Mount Vernon. He has two sisters, Ashton and Hope. Isaac is the oldest of the three.

“When I first wanted to do this, my parents weren’t too crazy about the idea,” Fuelling said with an infectious smile. “But as time went on and they saw I was serious about it and they saw that this was what made me happy. Now they are thrilled for me that it is finally coming to pass. They just want me to do well with it and be successful.”

“Wul-Wee and Baggy Geenz are not getting married,” Dave had emphasized to the officiating minister, a long-time friend.

“Dave and Vi are getting married.”

Needless to say, the couple remains inseparable. They could be spotted clowning together just a couple of weekends ago at the inaugural Johnnie Sue’s Lace Up Against Cancer 5K Run/Walk. After all, their mutual passion for clowning sparked their love for one another.

Their clowning takes them all over the Tri-State to at least one charitable event every weekend. That schedule doesn’t include paid performances for, say, birthday or business parties. They manage this schedule while both holding down full-time jobs.

Dave has been in maintenance with KellerCrescent for the past 24 years. Vi has been the administrative assistant at the training center for Evansville’s Union Electricians No. 16 going on eight years now.

They’ve slowed their pace since Dave suffered a heart attack, just 14 days after their wedding. Before that, Dave was the most

active of the River City Clowns. He thought nothing of clowning 500 hours a year during his first three years as Wul-Wee. The couple can talk for hours about the history and antics of clowns. They will tell you, for example, that clowns are known internationally as “Joey’s,” (not to be confused with Australian kangaroos) in honor of Joey Grimaldi, the 15th century court jester who first used stage makeup when performing.

Much of their talk focuses on the annual clown school, where they both got their start, sponsored by River City Clowns. This ten-week course teaches students everything from applying makeup to developing a clown persona to choosing a name. The graduation date becomes the clowns’ “birthday.”

Although clown school is out for this year, Dave will be happy to talk with anyone about the profession. He can be reached at 812-455-9608. Otherwise, those interested may call River City Clowns at 1-800-4909360 and leave a message, whether about clown school or about engaging clowns to perform at an event. River City Clowns may also be contacted by e-mail at rivercityclowns@yahoo.com.

The Working Men’s Institute will be holding it’s first Our Town Coffee Hour at the WMI. In the past, the Our Town Coffee Hours have been held at various places in the community. But now with the new elevator operational, Our Town Coffee Hours will be held in at the WMI. (Please note that the handicapped accessible restroom is not yet available.)

The subject of the Our Town Coffee Hour is New Harmony in the Civil War. It will be held on April 12, the 150th anniversary of the firing on Ft. Sumter and the beginning of the Civil War. The coffee hour will be held at 10 a.m. Refreshments will be served.

Over the next few weeks, this article will highlight aspects of our community’s involvement in the War of the Rebellion. Considering New Harmony’s unique history, it is no wonder that the town made an important contribution to the war effort.

First and foremost, through out the duration of the war, New Harmony men answered the call to arms. In total 173 New Harmony men are listed in Posey Troops 1861-1865 : an Indiana Border County in the Great Rebellion. They served in at least 20 different Indiana units. Nineteen died in the War and three were dis-

charged due to injury. They were all heroes.

Still not all heroes wore uniforms. Mrs. Truscott left New Harmony and traveled as a nurse for the Twentyeighth Regiment First Cavalry. While Richard Owen was promoted to colonel and recruiting is own company, Robert Dale Owen was given the job of purchasing supplies for the soldiers. From great coats and blankets to rifles and bayonets, it was his job to get soldiers supplied as quickly and cheaply as possible with a good product that would stand the stress of war.

But as important as that job was, Robert Dale Owen is remembered for even a greater contribution. During the dark days of 1862, President Lincoln was beset on all sides with enemies. At war with the South, he had to battle factions in the North that were not pleased with the handling of the war. One of the great debates of the day was whether to emancipate the slaves or not. Obviously since the slaves were held in the South, the Confederates would heed no proclamation made by a northern president. Yet many argued that it was the right thing to do from a moral standpoint and an act to honor the memory of so many who had already died for the cause.

And so it was in the fall of 1862, our sixteenth president struggled with this issue.

On Sept. 19, 1862, a letter from Robert Dale Owen was placed in Lincoln’s hands.

Owen spoke for the Emancipation Proclamation. His arguments were eloquent, logical and forceful. Three days later, President Lincoln read the Emancipation Proclamation to his cabinet.

The following excerpt is a sample of Owen’s persuasive power.

“It is within your power at this very moment not only to consummate an act of enlightened statesmanship, but, as the instrument of the Almighty, to restore to freedom a race of men. If you are tempted by an imperishable name it is within your reach.

We may look through the ancient and modern history, yet scarce find a sovereign to whom God offered the privilege of bestowing on humanity a boon so vast.”

County hears that businesses looking here

By Dave Pearce While most of what went on at Tuesday’s Posey County Commissioners meeting consisted of routine matters, those in attendance did perk up a little when Greg Wathen and Debbie Bennett-Stearsman took the podium.

The pair was on hand to give commissioners an update on progress being made. Wathen is president of the Economic Development Coalition of Southwest Indiana and Debbie Bennett-Stearsman is the vice president of community development for the grant-writing group.

While the report was essentially the same one given at the annual Chamber meeting just a week earlier, the group did report there are several larger companies looking at Posey County now, primarily because of the port and because of the county’s infrastructure.

According to the report given by Michelle Hudson at the Chamber meeting, companies with a total of as many as 2,000 jobs are currently considering Posey County as a possible home. Most of the companies are manufacturing companies.

In other business: •Sherry Willis, representing Mount Vernon Mayor John Tucker, was on hand to ask commissioners to help determine what should be done with properties that have been left unkept and have outstanding tax bills that are worth much more than the properties themselves.

Willis told the group that the city continues to clean up the properties several times a year

APL News

and the charges continue to mount against the properties. However, many of the properties have been put up for tax sales multiple times but did not sell because of the amount of unsettled tax debt that would be facing a potential buyer.

Commissioners tabled her request to look into legalities regarding what to do with such properties.

•Willis also asked permission from the commissioners to hold a paper shredding day again this year on the Posey County Court House parking lot. The date would tentatively be May 7 from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. Permission was granted with the stipulation that proof of insurance would be provided by the city.

•Bennett-Stearsman informed commissioners that the Wabash Levee Project Grant had been approved in the amount of $1.5 million.

Originally, the application had asked for $3 million but due to required matching funds, the amount had been reduced. This grant is being done in conjunction with Gibson County.

•Sharon Carr appeared before the commissioners requesting repairs to a boiler, currently leaking, at the Posey County Courthouse. The group decided to take the low bid of $2,032 from Industrial Contractors. Bids were also submitted from J.E. Shekell and Trane.

•Building Commissioner Ed Baettnger reported that progress continues to be made at the site of Twin Lakes Mobile Home Park.

Mobile homes are being disassembled and removed from the park.

High School Art Show Owensville Alumni Banquet to be held April 3 runs through April 17 Now in its 48th year, the high school art show, presented in partnership with the Evansville Museum Guild, continues the tradition of honoring young artists from our region.

Artists to Lead Art Workshops in New Harmony The New Harmony Plein Air Paint Out is sponsoring two Artist Workshops in conjunction with the 13th Annual “First Brush of Spring,” which runs April 14 through April 16. Beginning on Monday, April 11, acclaimed Indiana artist, C. W. Mundy, will conduct a five-day workshop, “Still Life Painting,” beginning at 9 a.m. at the Rapp-Owen Granary.

Mundy ranks among the most important American impressionists painters, today.

No matter the subject matter, be it a battle-scarred working fishing boat in Gloucester Harbor, a petite ballerina executing a graceful pas des deux, a delicate pink vase in a structured still life, or a moody English landscape, Mundy’s aggressive, often

soft-edged painterly style is very much his own.

Born in Indianapolis, Mundy received his undergraduate degree in art from Ball State University and his Masters of Fine Art at Long Beach State in Los Angeles.

Over the years he has received numerous awards from his participation in both regional and national juried exhibits, including the prestigious Hoosier Salon. He was awarded the honor of Signature Membership in Oil Painters of America in 1993.

Most recently, his plein air landscapes done in France, Italy, Spain, New England and most recently, Martha’s Vineyard, have received critical acclaim.

Mundy’s work is displayed in the Indiana State Museum, Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, Southern Alleghenies Museum of

Art, Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, the University of Louisville Hall of Fame and Indianapolis 500, as well as many private and corporate collections.

A four-day workshop, “Plein Air Painting in Provence,” will be taught by Todd Williams and begins at 9 a.m. on Monday, April 11, at the Barn Abbey in New Harmony.

Todd Williams was born in the small farming community of Central City, Nebraska. Since his childhood, he has been aware of the natural beauty of the world around him, an awareness that he continues to cultivate through his art of painting.

After studying painting and illustration at the Kansas City Art Institute, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, Williams went on to be an in-house se-

Traci Hoehn takes the reins as First UMC youth pastor

By Pam Robinson Savah native Traci Hoehn is excited about her return to Posey County to serve as director of children and youth services for First United Methodist Church, or First UMC, in Mount Vernon.

Hoehn has been acting as youth minister since the beginning of February.

“The kids are so wonderful,” the Mount Vernon High School graduate says.

“I’ve never met a group of kids—from elementary school to junior high to senior high—that are so dedicated to learning about God and so dedicated to living God’s love in the community. I just can’t say enough good about them.”

Living God’s love in the community is the focus of the youthful Hoehn, the daughter of Paul and Janet Hoehn of Mount Ver-

non. After high school, she studied at the University of Evansville, or UE, and earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in theological studies. She credits her UE professor and mentor, Dianne Oliver, with encouraging and inspiring her in her theological studies.

From UE, she moved into social work for a year with Evansville’s Ireland Homebased Services. The experience fueled her passion for work with youth.

“I got to see many children who were disadvantaged,” Hoehn says. “It was a real eye opener for me, having been raised with a very loving family and wonderful parents, to see how some children are not fortunate in that way.”

She then spent two years at Vanderbilt University in

Nashville to complete the master of theological studies with an emphasis in social justice and Holocaust history before coming to First UMC. “I firmly believe that activism and changing all the awful things we see in society starts with children and with youth,” Hoehn comments.

The youth at First UMC provide a case in point for her beliefs. Hoehn notes that they work hard without complaining in their service projects. She commends both the elementary children who spend Sunday afternoons cleaning at the Posey Humane Society and the teens who pick up trash along the Mount Vernon riverfront.

“I really believe in the power of youth in leading a movement, as cliché

as it may sound, to make the world a better place,” Hoehn says. “I really want to enable them and let them know that they have the capability to change things.”

The summer youth activities at First UMC bring even more excitement.

Hoehn highlights vacation bible school, church camp, the Ichthus Christian Music Festival—and, grandest of all, their U.S. mission trip.

She invites youth throughout the area to join First UMC youth on Sunday evenings for their weekly meetings. All guests are welcome, even those devoted to their own church home.

Elementary-age children gather from 4 to 5:30 p.m. with junior and senior high school youth meeting afterward from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

First United Methodist Church is located at 601

Many exciting projects, opportunities, and contests have been part of the month of March at St. Wendel School.

The month began as students in Grades 1 – 4 were delighted to receive their new desks and chairs, provided by the school’s PTO. Replacing the desks original to the building was both memorable and historic!

As Grant Schneider said, “I can’t believe we finally have new desks! Now we can be the first to use them and they have no marks or words on them, any where. The new design helps me organize my things better! This is so cool!” This completes the original plan of replacing all the old desks in Grades 1 – 8 with up-to-date sitting arrangements. The old desks are being offered to parish members as a first come, first serve basis. Donations are being accepted when individuals pick up the desk furniture.

Service projects continue in many of the grades. “Making a Difference” in the lives of those around us, is our school diocesan theme.

With two recent visits from our parish military service members (Private 1st Class Jacob Seibert and Senior Airman Aaron Will), stu-

dents in Mrs. Dyson’s class know they make a positive difference. Both men visited with the students in 4th grade to say, “Thanks!” for all of the support from back home. Knowing that someone is thinking about them, by sending care packages and letters, means so much to these men. The 4th grade and Mrs. Dyson appreciate these service members taking time to stop by their school and classroom, and wish them all the best in their endeavors.

The Math Bowl team, led

by Mrs. Jane Herr and Mrs. Amanda Randolph, met during January through March to prepare for their competition on March 10th. The team competed in Class 2 of our region and took home a 1st place. Each member of the team received a gold medal for their near perfect team score (24/26). Later, the team found out even more great news, they placed 2nd in the state of Indiana, in their class! Aubrey Dyson, a 6th grade team member said it well, “We couldn’t have done it without terrific coaches and great team support! I’m proud of all that we’ve accomplished!”

Students in Grades 5 – 8 worked diligently on their annual drama production

during the months of January and February. Mrs. Jessica Wade, the school drama coach, and Mrs. Shirley Clements, the music teacher, conducted try-outs for the production. The cast was decided and individuals began working on their lines. The set was designed and painted by some of the actors and actresses on weekends and after school. Meeting many times, each week after school, paid off when they presented their musical, “Bugsy Malone, Jr.” on March 17th – 18th. St. Wendel’s drama club members and the 5th – 8th grade music students didn’t let those in attendance down. This year’s production showcased their many talents, yet again! Students portrayed their characters with much creativity. The artistic background scenes set the mood. Musical talents were showcased throughout the production. Many stage crew members made the production run smoothly.

What great talent we have in these students! Many thanks goes out to Mrs. Wade, Mrs. Clements, the students, and all who helped support the drama production in some way this school year. We are very blessed to have these people as part of St. Wendel School.

St. Wendel’s fifth through eighth graders presented a musical, “Bugsy Malone” on March 17, 18. Performing the scene “Good Triumph” is L to R: Doodle (Travis Koester), Bronx Charlie (Kurtis Wilderman), Bugsy Malone (Jarrod Koester), Blousy Brown (Eli Schapker) and Tallulah (Megan Reker).

mance dates are Friday, April 15, at 7 p.m. and Sat., April 19, at 3 p.m. More information will be provided as we get closer to the production dates.

St. Wendel’s fifth through eighth graders presented a musical, “Bugsy Malone” on March 17, 18. Performing in the opening scene, Roxy Robinson and Dandy Dan's Gang, are L to R: Roxy (Aubrey Dyson) and Gang Members, Bronx Charlie (Kurtis Wilderman), other gang member (Ashley Rexing), Benny Lee (Roni Inkenbrandt) and Yonkers (Max Mayer).

St. Wendel Catholic School News Did you know that one child every 30 seconds dies from the disease Malaria on the Continent of Africa? An organization called NETwork against Malaria is trying to do something to stop all of the dying.

This organization provides nets for families to put around the children’s bed. Each net can protect three children at a time. The nets are treated with a special substance to repel the mosquitoes. The cost of one net is $10.00.

The organization survives on fundraisers and donations.

After watching a video about NETworking against Malaria the fifth grade class from St. Wendel decided to adopt this cause as their world service project. During the school year the class has held a couple of different fundraisers.

One activity was sponsoring a hat day where the students can

pay $1. Before Hat Day the fifth graders went to each class and talked to them about Malaria and how it kills so many children each day. The rest of the school got the message because we took in just over $200. Many students donated more than the $1 required. The class also sponsored a second fund raiser.

The students made a St. Wendel School fleece blanket and then raffled it off during Catholic Schools’ Week. The students raised enough money to buy 21 nets. Because of the efforts of both fundraisers the class has the potential of saving 120 children’s lives.

Service projects are not the only thing that keeps the 5th grade busy. They have been studying about the different genres in Literature. The students have read the books individually, as a class, and

in literature circles. The last genre the students read was biography. These biographies were about Americans who played an important role in the making of the Constitution.

The class will be reading a play about Fredrick Douglas.

Excitement is mounting for our Civil War unit. This unit will be taught in collaboration with the righth grade. Mr. Watkins, their social studies teacher, and Mrs. DeWolf, the fifth grade social studies teacher, will team teach this unit. The unit will begin by having a participant in Civil War reenactments coming and presenting a program to the two classes.

Overall it has been a great year for the fifth grade. We have learned much and we have worked hard to achieve our class motto: Striving to do our best.

Countrymark, FFA team up to bring high quality speakers to FFA banquets

Spring’s finally here, and across rural Indiana that means that the annual FFA chapter banquet season can’t be far behind. At these banquets, FFA members, parents, friends, and community supporters will gather to recognize and celebrate members’ and chapters’ achievements, leadership and growth of the past year.

One highlight and long-standing tradition of many of these chapter banquets is hearing a keynote speech by one of the state’s seven FFA officers. This year’s state president, Morgan Dawson from Scottsburg, can’t wait to get started.

“Since I’ve been in FFA, I’ve come to love the banquets—I think they’re awesome!” said Dawson. “I enjoy public speaking and I’m really excited to have the opportunity to share a few of my thoughts. I’m looking forward to attending a number of the banquets.”

This year’s national FFA motto is “Infinite Potential,” and Dawson’s speech, “Invest—Don’t Spend,” ties in nicely.

“I think a lot of us get caught up in just ‘spending’ our time and money, when instead we should be ‘investing’ it,” said Dawson. “For example, when we’re talking with someone or sharing some time with them, are we just spending time, or are

we really investing in them and what’s best for them?”

Speeches by other officers include such topics as: “Look at Life Differently;” “Mastering Fears—By Valuing Challenges, Moving Emotions, and Expediting Fear;” “Perspective— Keeping it in Perspective;” “How to Achieve What You Want;” “Imagination—Find the Imagine You Once Lost;” and “Make Every Moment Count.”

Keynote speeches by state officers are a popular item at many chapter banquets, and are arranged by invitation. The banquet season runs from mid-March through mid-May, and the officers try to attend as many as they can. Dawson will be attending 7 to 10 banquets, as will her six fellow officers.

Financially supporting the officers’ touring circuit this year will be farmer-owned cooperative CountryMark.

“We see great value in what FFA does for its members, our communities and the future of the agricultural industry,” said Jon Lantz, CountryMark Vice President of Marketing. “FFA provides technical training, motivation and the opportunity for members to hone their agricultural skills. With the values they have and the training they possess, it is exciting to imagine where these blue jackets and gold leaders will take our industry in the years to come. Sponsoring the state officers at chapter

banquets is also an excellent complement to the involvement many CountryMark member co-ops have with their local FFA chapters across the state.”

CountryMark recently hosted the state officers at its Indianapolis office.

“With the state officers, we shared CountryMark’s agricultural heritage, provided them an overview of what the company stands for today, and our vision of where we hope to take our farmer-owned oil company in the years to come,” said Lantz.

“We sincerely enjoy the opportunity to introduce our company to these enthusiastic and optimistic young leaders. Each year when we meet with the state FFA officers, they ask great questions and are always eager to dig into the issues that impact our industry and the lives of our customers.”

Dawson, who plans to attend Purdue University next year to study ag sales and marketing with a minor in international ag studies, said that CountryMark’s sponsorship was invaluable.

“Both CountryMark and FFA were started by groups of individuals who saw a need and did something about it,” said Dawson. “Our organizations have a lot in common, and we’re very thankful for their sponsorship.”

OPINION

Cheaters have tainted March Madness, basketball’s showcase For years, I looked forward to March Madness. It was a time when we could all talk about who was going to win ballgames and eventually win a national championship. I always looked forward to it because it was the last of the most pure form of TRUTH... the game.

But over the past few STRANGER years, March Madness has THAN made me open my eyes to the FICTION reality that despite the glam- BY DAVE orous side we see on televi- PEARCE sion, there is a dark side that only occasionally makes the news. As I have grown older, I have realized that there are so many people who do not want to play fair.

Every coach has his own “system.” How far we have ventured away from the original game.

Half-way through the season, who would have thought that of all the teams in the country, tiny Butler would return again to the Final Four of the sport? Who would have guessed that Indiana heavyweights Purdue and Notre Dame would stand by the wayside and watch as again, The Horizon League would send a team to the Final Four.

But as I prepare to watch next weekend’s Final Four, it takes me back to the time when I realized the truth about fishing. As a child, I always dreamed of going to a country pond and attempting to outsmart the fish. When one unsuspectingly took the bait on my cleverlyconcealed hook, I had won the battle and had outsmarted the fish. That was fishing in it’s truest form. By today’s standards, you aren’t fishing if you don’t have a $30,000 boat with four depth finders, three fish finders, a 150horse motor, 15 rod and reels, and a collection of 400 lures in a recently stocked lake.

That’s not fishing…that’s assault.

But basketball, like hunting and fishing, has also changed. People stock lakes with huge fish and then attempt to “catch” them.

Oh, there can be some enjoyment in that but

the true joy of fishing is picking out an old country pond or lake and using a cheap rodand-reel or a cane pole and catching enough fish to have a fish fry and doing it on your own.

Hunting is the same way.

The definition of hunting over the years has changed drastically for me. People now buy or grow animals and put them in an area and “hunters” now pay big money to go in those areas and shoot the game. That’s not hunting. Hunting is going to a place where you are not sure there are really any bear and finding one and taking it home. Anyone can shoot a squirrel in a cage.

March Madness has turned into pretty much the same…Madness. Conferences such as the Big East have 16 or 18 members and 11 of the 68 teams in this year’s field are from a single conference. And a few members of the coaching profession have reminded us again that they don’t want to play by the rules, our area’s beloved Coach Bruce Pearl being one of them. I guess the part that makes this one particularly hard to swallow was the fact that while an assistant at Iowa, Pearl was a whistle-blower on Illinois for recruiting violations. And just a few successful years later (that have included the money and the fame that come with success) Pearl finds himself answering the same questions which he posed to the coaches at Illinois.

Kentucky has seemed to hit its stride but not without first trying to work a European professional onto the team. And if their coach’s former schools are any indication, should the Wildcats be successful and win the title, it will probably be only a matter of time before they will have to give it up.

I realize that much like hunting and fishing, March Madness will go on with or without me. If people want to call catching fish in

a barrel a success, that’s their choice. If people want to “hunt” animals inside a fence, its their choice. But I’m not so sure we are sending the right message to the next generation.

As a matter of fact, I’m pretty sure we aren’t.

It’s the instant gratification win-at-any-cost philosophy that has the United States in the mess it is in.

As I prepared to write this column, I found a few funny quotes regarding basketball over the years. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. They are as follows: The invention of basketball was not an accident. It was developed to meet a need.

Those boys simply would not play “Drop the Handkerchief.” ~James Naismith This is the second most exciting indoor sport, and the other one shouldn’t have spectators. ~Dick Vertleib If the NBA were on channel 5 and a bunch of frogs making love was on channel 4, I’d watch the frogs even if they were coming in fuzzy. ~Bobby Knight The rule was “No autopsy, no foul.” ~Stewart Granger, on the pickup games of his childhood I haven’t been able to slam-dunk the basketball for the past five years. Or, for the thirty-eight years before that, either. ~Dave Barry I look at the NBA as a football game without the helmet. ~Tom Tolbert These are my new shoes. They’re good shoes. They won’t make you rich like me, they won’t make you rebound like me, they definitely won’t make you handsome like me.

They’ll only make you have shoes like me.

That’s it. ~From a Charles Barkley commercial for basketball shoes, 1993 What is so fascinating about sitting around watching a bunch of pituitary cases stuff a ball through a hoop? ~Woody Allen, Annie Hall We have a great bunch of outside shooters. Unfortunately, all our games are played

indoors. ~Weldon Drew Basketball is the MTV of sports. ~Sara Levinson The idea is not to block every shot. The idea is to make your opponent believe that you might block every shot. ~Bill Russell I hate it. It looks like a stickup at 7-Eleven.

Five guys standing there with their hands in the air. ~Norm Sloan, on zone defense Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are developed first, and it always takes a while for the defense to catch up. ~Red Auerbach Fans never fall asleep at our games, because they’re afraid they might get hit by a pass. ~George Raveling The only difference between a good shot and a bad shot is if it goes in or not. ~Charles Barkley When I dunk, I put something on it. I want the ball to hit the floor before I do. ~Darryl Dawkins You don’t play against opponents. You play against the game of basketball. ~Bobby Knight When I went to Catholic high school in Philadelphia, we just had one coach for football and basketball. He took all of us who turned out and had us run through a forest.

The ones who ran into the trees were on the football team. ~George Raveling We’re shooting 100 percent - 60 percent from the field and 40 percent from the freethrow line. ~Norm Stewart You can run a lot of plays when your X is twice as big as the other guys’ O. It makes your X’s and O’s pretty good. ~Paul Westphal Giving “Magic” the basketball is like giving Hitler an army, Jesse James a gang, or Genghis Khan a horse. ~Jim Murray, about Earvin Johnson The secret is to have eight great players and four others who will cheer like crazy. ~Jerry Tarkanian

Letter to the Editor Commendation for high priority, quality service rendered, again To: Mr. Steve Schenk, Posey County Highway Department Please accept this most recent commendation from me on behalf of your people for the great service they performed for my family. This service is related to the recent installation of a new culvert at our residence. As you know the culvert I purchased from Southern Indiana Drainage was delivered and properly installed by your people. I am very grateful for the great work they did on our behalf and on behalf of some of our neighbors whose drainage also runs through this culvert.

I would further like to make the following comments about their service to us. The services they each provided to us are likely to be consistent with their daily work habits.

Bettye Moore and Tamyra Wolfe have consistently been courteous and helpful, beyond my expectations, in every communication experience I have had with them over the telephone.

Roy Neaveill visited our residence within hours of my

initial telephone conversation with you on March 14, 2011.

He quickly assessed the situation and developed a mutually agreeable action plan to solve the damaged culvert problem near the eastern edge of our property. I must say the team’s completion of this task, within one calendar week from our initial call to you, exceeded my expectations of your organization.

Tommy Neaveill’s displays of appreciable knowledge, hand signal and sighting skills in communicating with the equipment operators, and a willingness to lead by personal example were clearly evident in this wonderful team accomplishment.

Beyond the normal, coordinated duties that Dan Adamaitis likely performs at each work site, he made the extra effort to clean out our drain tile standup in an effort to provide the best possible experience for us. He also was especially courteous to me during the completion of this work assignment.

I very much enjoyed observing Gary Schmidt manage his

portion of the work. He used his machine with such skill and care that it seemed to me to be as easy for him as one might experience in combing their own hair. Clearly his many years of experience using the equipment paid time efficient dividends for the team in this notable effort.

Jeff Toelle worked diligently in the culvert installation and in the application and repositioning of other materials at the worksite. I also noted his desire and associated dedication in performing his duties well and efficiently. His attention to detail during this task was especially very much appreciated.

Good things happen when good people choose to work together. Please place a copy of this letter of commendation in the personnel files of all employees that participated in this solution.

Best regards to all of you, Appreciative Posey County Resident, Dennis (Denny) Bloodworth

Right to Work not the right direction for Indiana In a letter to the Evansville Courier published March 24 Barbara Quant questions who represents Indiana workers? Well, I would like to respond to some of her comments in this article.

First of all she states that the current protest observed in our Indiana Statehouse are "rhetoric and bluster". Excuse me, but I personally would not label a peaceful demonstration fighting for a right to "collective bargaining and an anti right-to-workstate" anything but a duty. When a select group of individuals are threatening a current way of life and your family's future, it is time to make a stand.

The letter questions whether hard working, tax paying citizens like labor unions,teachers unions,and other government workers are actually Indiana workers. I submit to you that they are very much a representation of the middle class in America and Indiana workers. She tries to attach a numerical figure to these people by quoting "workers who make up less than 25% of the workforce".

It is not the percentage of the overall workforce that is significant here, it is a compilation of the contribution that these members make to our society that is important. As a past member of the Building Trades in the state of Indiana, I can assure you that these individuals are responsible for erecting and maintaining our schools, hospitals, generating stations, manufacturing,businesses and industrial base that has made America the great country that we are today.

The general public has no idea of how hard these people work

and the elements they have to fight, and the very unpleasant working conditions that are a part of their daily life in the Building Trades. I personally do, and many others like myself have worked in 120 degree heat index or 50 degrees below zero with rain and snow for 10-12-16 hours a day. I am quite sure that the person who wrote this letter has not walked a 6 inch I-beam at 350 feet in the air on top of a Ggenerating Station , packing 50 lbs. of tools with you, climbing everywhere your required to be,risking life and injury, because there are no stairways yet in place, realizing the unpleasantness of using porta-poties in summer heat and winters cold and the list goes on. She thinks these people are overpaid, I say walk a mile in their shoes.

The teachers and government workers referred to in the letter may not have to endure the elements of the before mentioned positions, but they have made their sacrifices too (long hours, budget constraints, under staffing, supply shortages, etc). Barbara Quandt states that the unions "collect wages and benefits at the expense of the real middle class", Real Middle Class ...really. I find that statement almost laughable. These are the "real middle class" and they deserve the opportunity to negotiate through Collective Bargaining to try and maintain a middle class way of life.

It is obvious that the author represents the business side of this equation (she is the Indiana state director of the National Federation of Independent Business). As a past President Iron Workers Local 103 in Evansville Indiana I have negotiated

with the business representatives in this process. I know first hand how this process works . I am not saying that the unions are the answer to all the problems that face working America, they have their negative side as do the business position.

I have negotiated contracts where I have had a Business Agent who is supposed to have been supporting the members position and he was more concerned about the business position. Collect Bargaining is not perfect , but it is the best platform currently for both sides to sit down and air their sides grievances in a civil atmosphere. Why should that opportunity to debate the issues be denied them?

The Right to Work issue is a no-brainer from my perspective.

The facts are that this act will lower wages substantially, remove safety and health standards, and make less revenue available for spending in businesses throughout the community. I have the unique perspective of having been in business, served as a County Commissioner, worked in a non-union and a union background, so my opinion is not biased one way or the other.

This protest is much larger than union vs non-union, it is an "all out attack" on working people all over America and their way of life. Corporate funded movements and all the "greed" that comes with it have put working Americans in the sorry state of affairs we find ourselves today.

Randy Thornburg Past President of Iron Workers Local 103 Evansville, Ind.

that small mat and anything less than total effort is apparent.

I do not know much about the sport of wrestling. But I have long recognized that it brings out much of what’s good. One on one, similarly sized, similarly aged, competition under rules as applied by neutral referees.

It requires stamina, strength, strategy and courage. It is very much like another sport I know a little about, boxing. That may be why wrestling impresses me.

When someone enters the boxing ring or walks out onto the wrestling mat, the excuses we might get

by with generally no longer suffice.

That is why when I watched Anthony Robles win the national championship I knew my days of comfortably avoiding unpleasant but necessary tasks were numbered.

Wrestling and boxing require superb balance among many other skills. So when Mr. Robles, the 22 year old college champion, had to leave his crutch on the sidelines and hop one legged onto that national stage, I was amazed he could even remain upright.

As I watched the match on television between Robles and another fine college

wrestler, I paid close attention to the scoring. No special rules or dispensations were made. Anthony won a tough match with skill, strength and, most importantly, character.

Anthony Robles was born with only one leg. I guess he has failed to notice that minor difference.

Gavel Gamut’s “Anthony Robles” Anthony Robles just sounded the death knell to plausible deniability. I could usually find an available excuse to avoid exercise or work around JPeg Ranch before Mr. Robles. It might have been raining. A must see ballgame was on television. Or, perhaps, an old football injury appeared when needed. There was always a way to assuage my conscience, until Anthony Robles came along.

Two years ago Mr. Robles placed fourth in the nation in college wrestling. Then last year he placed seventh.

I do not know why those accomplishments should not have been enough for

anyone. But, oh no, not for Mr. Robles.

This week he won the NCAA college champi-

Or, at least, he has never felt the need to use that as an excuse.

As for me, in spite of several previously perfectly plausible explanations to Peg as to why the garage did not need to be cleaned out, I am going to put down my pen and pick up a broom.

New traffic counters will help city make route decisions

By Pam Robinson The Mount Vernon Board of Public Works and Safety voted Thursday to allow Sterett Crane & Rigging to travel with three heavy loads through town this week from TMI on West Second Street to SABIC. The loads will travel along West Second Street to Old Highway 69 to SABIC’s Gate No. 9. It is estimated each load will weigh 17,000 pounds, less than an empty packer truck. The board noted that Sterett would be responsible for paying all applicable fees.

Police Chief Grant Beloat stated the city’s truck travel ordinance re-

quired a permit, but none was included. The board is allowing the three loads to go through town without a permit. It was indicated a permit will be drafted. The ordinance also addresses company liability for any damage done to streets.

Beloat said the move would take about 30 minutes. The police department will help with traffic.

In other business: •The board approved the purchase of a new set of traffic counters for $2,960.02 to come from the street department’s equipment line.

•The board approved the street

department’s request for an online purchase of a 2009 manual on universal traffic control devices with the city credit card. Cost is estimated at $139.

•The board approved the use of the city credit card for gas and meals when Street Commissioner Roy Maynard and Assistant to the Mayor Sherry Willis travel to Huntingburg on Thursday, March 31, for training on grant sign offs.

•It was announced that Bernardin Lochmueller & Associates is still in the process of reviewing the bids and specifications for Phase 2 of the

sewer project.

•Wastewater Superintendent Rodney Givens reported that the county has secured funds to make the needed repairs to the bridge on Old Highway 62, but the city has a sewer line connected to the bridge.

Givens said Posey County Commissioner Jim Alsop had inquired about the city’s plans for dealing with the sewer line. Givens said he needed to know what the county was going to do before he could put together a plan.

•Wastewater Superintendent Givens reported a leak, a sewer issue,

at Walnut and Water streets. When the old pipe was dug up, a hairline crack was found. It was clamped and will be paved over when it has time to settle.

•Board member Becky Higgins reported vandalism attempts had been made at the cemetery next to Hedges Elementary School. At her request, Police Chief Grant Beloat agreed to put extra patrol in the area.

The Mount Vernon Board of Public Works and Safety will meet again Thursday, April 7, at 4:00 p.m. in the city hall annex.

Involvement in community key to connecting, contributing for Crissups Southern Illinois natives Joe and Teresa Crissup have become deeply rooted in the life of their Mount Vernon community since they moved here after their marriage nearly 19 years ago.

Whether they are lending a sleeping bag to a neighbor across the fence or volunteering for a charitable organization, they behave as if they’ve lived here all their lives.

A 13-year employee with the Metropolitan School District of Mount Vernon, Teresa serves as the Title I reading assistant at West Elementary. Needless to say, after hours, she enjoys reading as much as possible.

In addition, she is active in Calvary Baptist Church, her family’s church home since 1994. She is the Sunday school superintendent there and manages vacation bible school each summer as well as the annual Easter egg hunts.

Joe is the plant superintendent in the soybean processing division of Consolidated Grain and Barge, where he has been employed for the past 14 years. In his free time, he is involved in a number of community organizations. He has served with the Black Township Fire and Rescue for 10 years now in addition to volunteering as an instructor with the local chapter of the American Red Cross and as an auditor for the United Way. He enjoys membership in the National Wild Turkey Association and the local Conservation Club, where he helps with the annual spring fishing day for youth.

Combining his passion for motorcycles with his dedicated service to firefighting, Joe helped to charter the local chapter of the Red Knights, a national motorcycle group for firefighters. The group does fundraising to help children burn victims as well as supports such local entities as Toys for Tots and the new Ronald McDonald House in Evansville.

The Crissups have three sons: Austin (15), a freshman at Mount Vernon High School; Jacob (almost 13), a 6th grader at Mount Vernon Junior High School; and Lucas (9), a third-grader at West. All three young men like to help with the community activities of the Red Knights.

The entire family enjoys camping and supporting Austin and his fellow Marching Wild-

cats at their band competitions. Jacob looks forward to joining the Marching Wildcats himself a couple of years from now.

Odie and Trixie, the shih tzus, and Sammy the cat enthusiastically greet guests to the Crissup home. In this household, the pets

North Posey Junior High makes the most of numbers, gain experience

By Steve Joos The few, the proud, the North Posey Junior High wrestling team?

Well, yes.

With just eight grapplers out for this year’s team, the junior high Vikings still did pretty well in Saturday’s Middle School PAC meet at Gibson Southern, as six North Posey matmen advanced out of the first two rounds and two won championships.

Kayne Hillenbrand defeated Garrett Vaal of Heritage Hills 6-1 for the 75-pound championship, while Jordan Frymire took the 135-pound class with a 16-9 win over Tell City’s Xavier Barnes in a match that ended on a bizarre note when Barnes turned and apparently pinned Frymire after the buzzer went off ending the contest.

“We brought eight kids,” coach Nick George said. “We’re down on numbers this year, but we’ve got six going on, so it’s been more of an up day. We’ve got two in the fi-

nals, three going for third or fourth and one going for fifth or sixth, so it’s been a good day.”

The junior high Vikings have a lot of new wrestlers this year, including a few sixth graders, but the team has gotten a lot better as the year progressed.

Despite the win, Hillenbrand still feels he could have done much better.

“I was happy with what I did,” the seventh grader said. “But I could have done much better.”

Hildebrandt started out trying to get as many takedowns as he could and also trying to pin his opponent. He couldn’t pin his man and that was an upset in itself.

But he’s glad to get the win.

Frymire was pleased with the way he wrestled.

“I did great today,” he said. “I got mad, kept my head up and just dominated.”

Frymire tried to get a mental advantage

on his opponent in the title bout, but then came the end of the match, when Barnes apparently turned Frymire and pinned him after the buzzer sounded.

Frymire heartedly told the referee the pin occurred after the buzzer sounded. That got him in trouble with George, who was also arguing the point.

In addition to Hildebrandt and Frymire, defending 85-pound conference champion Noah Campbell ran into trouble this season and didn’t get out of the first round. Brut Alex Taylor (80 pounds) and Jonah Cobb (130) were among those wrestling for third place.

“Jonah had plenty more to learn,” George said. “I’m glad we showed up to day. We had a really good day to end the season.”

Cobb captured third place, while Campbell fought back from his disappointment to bring home another third place finish. Josh Elpers (95) finished sixth to round out the

North Posey grapplers in the medal round.

Cobb and Frymire are the only eighth graders on this year’s roster, while Cobb a first-year grappler.

Both should bring a good mix to the middleweight classes in high school, George said, adding that both will hopefully contend for the conference title as high school grapplers. Ryan Martin (90) and Ethan Feldhake (200) rounded out the North Posey contingent.

“I’m glad we showed up today,” George said. “We had a pretty good day to end our season. With eight kids, it’s been a rough year, so I’m glad we stepped up today.”

North Posey finished eighth in the meet, nosing out Forest Park 90-89. Both teams were well behind seventh-place South Spencer (147). South Gibson won the meet with 310 points, finishing well ahead of runnerup Southridge (259). Heritage Hills was third with 248.

Former Wildcat Stemple making noise as an Engineer at Rose-Hulman Former Mount Vernon baseball standout Chris Stemple had a slow start with the Rose-Hulman Fightin’ Engineers, but he seems to be coming around.

A senior outfielder for the Terre Haute school, Stemple came away from the nine-

game trip hitting .103 with three hits in 29 at-bats, but that was then. After the weekend, he’s hitting .269 with 14 hits in 50 at-bats, including two doubles and a home run. Back in the leadoff spot he held at the start of the season, Stemple has

scored 15 runs and amassed 19 total bases.

Rose-Hulman is 10-4 so far this season, winning five home games after going 5-4 in their season-opening trip to Florida.

Stemple collected eight hits in three games for the

Fightin’ Engineers last week, including a single with a runs scored and two RBIs Sunday, as RoseHulman outslugged visiting North Central 9-7. He hit his first homer of the season and scored two runs Saturday as the Engineers completed a

doubleheader sweep with an 8-7 win over the visitors from Illinois. Stemple had four hits in the twinbill, including two hits, including a double, in the opener, a 9-1 victory.

Stemple’s week started with three hits in a 7-6 Rose-

Hulman win over Fontbonne on Thursday, Stemple continued his steady improvement at the plate for the Rose Hulman Fighting Engineers this week.

The senior infielder raised his batting average to .303 after the Terre Haute school took two of three from visiting Defiance College, winning 6-1 Friday and then taking the opener of a Saturday doubleheader, 5-0, before losing the nightcap 11-9.

Stemple had two hits in each of the three games, with a two runs scored in game one Saturday to go along with an RBI. He also drove in a run in the second contest.

Stemple’s 20 hits in 66 at-bats include a pair of doubles, a home run and nine RBIs, while the RoseHulman lead-off man has scored 18 runs.

Rose-Hulman is 12-5 so far this season, 2-1 in the Hoosier Collegiate Athletic Conference. The Fighting Engineers head for Richmond this weekend and a three-game series against Earlham.

Youth turkey hunt opportunities at Fish and Wildlife properties Hunters under age 18 will have a chance to hunt 22 DNR properties for the reserved turkey hunts during the special youth wild turkey hunting season on April 2324.

The youth hunts will be at Atterbury, Chinook, Crosley, Deer Creek, Fairbanks Landing, Glendale, Goose Pond, Hillenbrand, Hovey Lake, Jasper-Pulaski, Kankakee, Kingsbury, LaSalle, Minnehaha, Pigeon River, J.E. Roush, Sugar Ridge, TriCounty, Willow Slough and Winamac fish and wildlife areas, as well as at Mississinewa and Salamonie lakes.

A youth hunter may be drawn for either or both hunt days, depending on the number of applicants.

Youth hunters, or an adult representing them, must register in person at the property they wish to hunt from March 21–April 1, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. local time. The drawing will be held April 4. All applicants will be notified of drawing results by mail.

Those wanting to sign up for Chinook, Deer Creek, Fairbanks Landing, or Hillenbrand hunts may do so at Minnehaha FWA. A limit will be placed on the number of youth hunters allowed to hunt a property each day, to provide quality hunts. Each property will hold local early registrations

and drawings at the property for the half-day hunts.

Hunts will run one-half hour before sunrise until noon at properties in the Central Time Zone, and onehalf hour before sunrise until 1 p.m. on properties in the Eastern Time Zone.

Applicants may sign up for only one property and must possess a valid 2011 Youth Hunting and Trapping License, Lifetime Comprehensive Hunting, or Lifetime Comprehensive Hunting and Fishing License. An Apprentice Youth Hunt/Trap license may also be used.

Youth hunters who are selected for the hunt may check in at any time each day until the end of legal hunting hours for that property. Properties that do not fill their quotas during early registration may fill remain-

ing spots during regular office hours until the youth season opens, using a drawing each morning of the hunt, or first-come, first-served each morning of the hunt. Properties will not have a daily “no-show” drawing because there is no set time that selected youth hunters must check in during the morning hunts. Hunters interested in possible unfilled quotas at a property should contact that property for more information before showing up on the opening morning of the youth season.

During youth wild turkey season, youth hunters can only take a bearded or male wild turkey and must be accompanied by an adult at least 18 years of age.

The youth hunter may use any legal shotgun, bow and arrow, or crossbow.

The adult accompanying the youth hunter must not possess a firearm, bow and arrow, or crossbow while in the field. The adult does not need to possess a turkey hunting license unless the youth is using an apprentice license. A youth hunter may take only one bearded or male wild turkey during both the special youth season and regular spring season combined. The youth must be properly licensed to take a wild turkey and comply with all tagging and check-in requirements.

You can purchase a license at IndianaOutdoor.IN.gov.
