By Dave Pearce According to information released from the office of Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers, criminal charges were filed against Brandon McManomy for Attempted Murder. The charges are in addition to the charges the 24-year-old already faces in Kentucky.

As was reported in the Posey County News, on February 3, 2011, Posey County Deputy Dan Montgomery and Indiana State Trooper Kylen Compton attempted to arrest Brandon McManomy at his parents’ home where he was residing.

The warrant was on an active warrant for rape out of Kentucky.

While attempting to arrest McManomy, he started to stab himself in the neck. During a struggle,

Brandon McManomy

McManomy stabbed Deputy Dan Montgomery in the face.

The original charges stemmed from an Aug. 31 incident in Murray. He was arrested on that charge on Sept. 2 in Vanderburgh County.

According to Kentucky court records, the alleged victim in the rape case testified to a grand jury that she dated McManomy in 2009, but after he allegedly tried to sexually assault her, she obtained an emergency protective order against him.

But she told a grand jury that she agreed to meet McManomy at the university’s Stewart Stadium parking lot after receiving several text messages from him. She said she got in his truck, and after he refused to let her out, he drove to a Best Western hotel where they struggled

in his vehicle after he took her cell phone and pointed a knife at her.

After driving around, he returned to the hotel and made her go into the room.

She testified that McManomy put a blanket over her head, bound her hands and raped her. He then took her back to her car and promised not to contact her again, she said.

McManomy had been free since Oct. 1 after posting $100,000 cash bond, according to the Calloway County Clerk’s Office.

But a warrant was issued for his arrest for violating the conditions of his bond, which included having no contact with the alleged victim or her family, no alcohol or drug use,

Reassessment ahead of schedule, polling place to change

By Dave Pearce According to information presented at the Tuesday morning meeting of the Posey County Commissioners, the reassessment this year will not only be timely, but will also be accurate.

While newly-elected assessor Nancy Hoehn reported that the process is running well ahead of schedule this year, she presented a letter to the commissioners that could net more tax money for the county. Hoehn indicated that she has been looking over oil production reports from the Department of Natural Resources and there appears to be some discrepancies between the taxes that have been charged and what landowners have actually been paying.

Hoehn said she plans to continue to follow up the with the landowners and give them a chance to come in and correct information which might now not be accurate. She will then follow-up with a letter to the landowners. And, the county has hired Tyler Technologies to help with the assessment process and they, too, appear to be running well ahead.

“I have five employees besides myself working at this time on the Posey County Reassessment Contract,” the letter written by project manager Brett Bombick stated. “We are reviewing the data on all parcels in Robinson Township. We have reviewed 4595 of the 8975 residential improved parcels, 608 of the 1581 agriculture improved parcels, and 354 of the 608 commercial/industrial improved parcels. All vacant parcels have been verified as well.”

In other business: •Election Board Member Ron Bennett asked for the commissioners’ permission to combine the polling places where the only contested primary race will be held this year. Ed Adams has announced plans to run against Albert Gibbs for the Democratic nomination for Mount Vernon City Council.

The plan will move voters who had voted at the Oddfellow’s Lodge (Precinct 7) to the polling place at the Masonic Lodge (Precinct 11). Bennett reported that the Masonic Lodge polling place meets all the criteria to serve as the one polling place and that the primary reason is that the Oddfellow’s Lodge site is now up for sale.

•The animal control officer’s report indicated that the department had answered 44 complaints while picking up 17 animals with no euthanasias and one bite.

•Keeley Winiger reported that the county’s website development is coming along well and just needs some tweaking and that the offices now have double or triple speed on their Internet service. She also reported that the TIS systems are now up and running in the county’s ambulances.

•It was announced that the recent grant application for $3 million to help with flooding in Posey and Gibson counties has been reduced to $1.5 million. The county is requesting the grant with Gibson County.

The Commissioners will meet again on Tuesday morning, March 15 at 9 a.m.

CountryMark confirms Vigo County oil find, expected to serve Mount Vernon plant CountryMark recently confirmed a significant oil find in Vigo County, near Terre Haute, Ind. Their Hulman Farms No.1 well appears to have discovered a new oil field in an area of historic oil production. This well is flowing approximately 400 barrels of oil per day through a choke, but if opened up it is capable of producing significantly more oil. Other partners in the Vigo County drilling project were Core Min-

erals Operating Company and Harris Energy Company, both of Evansville.

“Securing American energy is CountryMark’s top priority,” said CountryMark President and CEO Charlie Smith. “Our strategy has been and will continue to be to invest in stateof-the-art oil exploration and drilling technology, which will sustain oil production in the Illinois Basin and provide a reliable supply of

OPINION

Sectional effort, sportsmanship put ‘class’ in basketball As most of you know, I work two jobs.

They may seem very different, but actually they are very much the same. After having time to think through the events of Saturday evening, I TRUTH... found out the two have even STRANGER more in common.

THAN When I send someone out FICTION on a test drive in a vehicle, I often try to get a feel for BY DAVE PEARCE their opinion of the vehicle by asking a simple question when they return, “Are you impressed or depressed?”

Usually, I can get a pretty good gauge of their feelings by their reaction to the question and an even deeper gauge by how they respond.

But following Saturday night’s heartbreaking loss by the North Posey Vikings in Boonville, I couldn’t even get a handle on my own feelings, much less try and get a gauge on someone else’s. I was depressed but yet impressed, all at the same time.

There were a lot of memories made Saturday night in Boonville. Some of them were happy memories and some of them will hurt for awhile but on either side of the coin, there are a lot of invaluable life lessons that can be taken from this encounter.

First of all, you learn that you get out of life what you put into it. The North Posey Vikings and the Forest Park Rangers had obviously poured their hearts out not only on Saturday night, but in the years leading up to that game where only one team advanced.

Only one team advanced but there were no

losers in this game.

I have been around sports most of my life.

I can remember my high school basketball team’s season coming to an end one year when we took a 25-0 record into the Regional final game. I can still remember how it felt not to be able to celebrate the hoisting of the Regional championship trophy. It was painful then and still leaves me sometimes wondering “what if?”

But two of the state’s best Class 2A basketball teams left everything they had on the gymnasium floor in Boonville. I can’t remember a more intense or a more even game. But they only let one team move on.

Saturday night was the Rangers’ turn. They had the ball last.

This is truly the stuff memories are made of. The feelings shared by the fans, the families, the team and coaching staff are indeed special. Despite the fact that the team did not advance, members of the North Posey Viking family grew closer together in Boonville. The players and coaches learned how to comfort each other. They learned that friendship is not just in the good times and when you win. They learned that usually you need a friend worse when you are not on top than when you are. I think the North Posey Viking family learned a lot about that Saturday.

This group of Vikings was special. They can look back with pride at what they have been able to accomplish. They were part of

a Pocket Athletic Conference championship last year. They learned last year what it is like to go over half-way through the season without a loss. They learned what it is like to have a bulls-eye on your back every time you take the court. They have learned so much about life through the game of basketball.

The kids learned that despite how much effort you put in, or how much time you spend preparing, the outcome doesn’t always represent the effort. But that in no ways diminishes the effort or the time spent preparing. Without the preparation, the opportunity never would have presented itself.

While this loss hurts now and will hurt for awhile, there will come a time when this special group of young men and their coaches and their families and friends can look back and realize how valuable it is to have friends, family and teammates to be there with you when life’s outcomes disappoint you.

This group must realize that it was not by happenstance that they were playing in the sectional championship game against the undefeated and top-ranked team in the state.

Both teams had paid their dues to get there.

They have been blessed with families, talent, health, coaches, and a support system that allowed them to be a part of that game.

When it all is said and done, I hope these young men that I now know as friends, will remember that.

For the seniors, it was particularly hard.

The senior Vikings knew they had an opportunity to beat the best in their final year of high school. If Forest Park is the best (and I am convinced they are), the North Posey

Vikings were simply a one-handed, doubleteamed up-and-under shot away from being their equal.

My hat goes off to Forest Park. They have a very good team and a very good program. just as people are realizing is being built at North Posey. As I looked through my photos (Sunday) tonight, I was able to zoom in and look at the faces of the Forest Park fans in the background as North Posey Athletic Director Virgil Ferguson presented the runner-up game ball to three of his teary-eyed seniors.

Watching the Forest Park fans applauding the effort was one thing but getting a closeup look at their faces was still another.

From looking at the faces of the Forest Park fans, you could not tell whether their team had won or lost the game. It was their time to stand and pay tribute to a group of outstanding young men from the other school (North Posey) who had left it all on the floor.

It was obvious the Vikings had earned the respect of the fans from Ferdinand and anyone else who had the pleasure of watching such a game.

It takes many things to complete an undefeated season. That’s why they are so rare.

There has to be opportunity, talent, work, planning, health, support, and even a little luck sometimes. But the Rangers’ successful campaign has not come without paying a price, just as the price was paid for North Posey’s successful campaign. Both teams, athletes, and programs should be emulated throughout the remainder of the state. If that were indeed the case, it would truly be called “class” basketball.

The venture of 40 days begins with Ash Wednesday’s blessings Tomorrow, many Christians all over the world will observe Ash Wednesday. The first day of Lent, it calls us to journey inward for the next 40 days and consider the words of the Lord God to Adam and Eve at their fall: “you are dust, and to dust you shall return” (Gen. 3:19, NRSV).

FOR THE Participants in Ash RECORD Wednesday services receive ashes on their foreBY PAM heads in the sign of the cross as a reminder of their ROBINSON mortality. The Christian hope is we will rise with Christ on Easter Sunday, confident he will clothe our soul in a new body when we awaken to eternity.

Lent is a spiritual season of penitence and prayer. Christians seek to change our typical behavior in an effort to realize a deeper relationship with Christ. Often during this time, we will give up a luxury—chocolate, soda, wine—or a vice—cigarettes (also a luxury these days), unnecessary spending, even worry.

Given the chance to change during Lent, I have decided to work on laying down the vices of dissatisfaction and restlessness. I want to cultivate acceptance of and contentment with my place in life.

It seems to me that my vices are woven into Western culture. We are always challenged to seek more—to land a prestigious job, to wear designer clothing, to drive a flashy car, to live in an expensive home.

Please don’t misunderstand me. I see nothing inherently wrong with wealth. We need money for the security of food, clothing and shelter and beyond, for education and even the leisure to rest.

Yet, when we are driven to desire more and more and more, we lose our peace and, often, our humanity. We can easily forget we are creating unhealthy stress for ourselves and our families and losing touch with thousands who would welcome the leftovers from our tables.

A friend of mine recently e-mailed me the link to a brief little video titled “The Life is Like Coffee Movie.” It describes well the malady of forever wanting. When a group of adults visited a former college professor and started complaining about the stress in their lives, the professor sought to redirect the conversation by serving coffee. He brought out a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups, pretty and plain, and asked his visitors to help themselves. True to human nature, the professor’s visitors selected the pretty cups—

porcelain and crystal—and eyed each other’s cups.

When everyone had a cup of coffee, the professor noted that what each person had really wanted was the coffee. Life is the coffee, he explained, while the cup is the container (job, money, position). Sometimes, he pointed out, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee—life.

My desire this Lenten season is to value the Life that provides more than enough blessing for everyone.

Letter to the Editor Are obvious education answers eluding us?

Education—How long must we ignore the obvious?

In Indiana we have heard far too much about the politics of education. Get politics out of education and get parents back in.

When teachers said that children arrive at school too hungry to learn, the government and schools stepped in and parents stepped out. Free breakfasts and free and reduced lunches have failed to increase educational efficiency. Rather they have negatively categorized children, gobbled up educator’s time and resources and given some parents a reason to let taxpayers and schools raise their children. Until we find a way to get parents to realize that they are responsible to see that their children arrive at school physically ready and psychologically prepared to learn, we will not be able to move on to the real issues of preparing our children for productive adulthood. Let’s free the teachers and our schools from the role of raising our kids and let them get back to the task of teaching.

“Political correctness” in our society and our schools may have already made this goal impossible to achieve.

There are however, obvious partial solutions right under our noses which we choose to ignore. There are probably thousands of

these. I only list an obvious few. They all require getting back to the basics. First the State and school administrators should get back to specifically defining exactly what children should know. They must develop curriculum to address those concepts. Once teachers know what to teach they should teach that.

Then test that. If the learning has not been accomplished, they re- teach and re-test until each capable student can demonstrate success. No more ISTEP testing on material that has not been taught. Isn’t it obvious that not all children have the same learning capacity?

Let’s establish training programs and testing techniques that take a child from where they are to their potential. To use an Army phrase, teach them to be all that they can be. Stop running every child through the same test.

They will never be identical. Parent Teacher Student Associations need to be strengthened by whatever means necessary to get and keep family involvement in the education process.

Then everyone, including the community, must encourage, motivate, and demand measurable results from our investment in public education. If our public schools could get this kind of support, we would hear less about collective bargaining and voucher system ideas.

Candidate announces City Council bid

Gavel Gamut’s “Death, Where is Thy Sting?”

If you sat in on last week’s meeting, you may recall the topic for discussion has been burials. Now, I know there might be other subjects we could more easily warm up to. However, the Colts lost in the first game of the playoffs; the Super Bowl commercials are trite re-runs; I.U. has no hope of making the NCAA tournament; and Peg refuses to let me pick on her again so soon after Valentines Day. Also, we are now in the dead center of winter with its gray skies, muddy vehicles and cloistered days of ennui. Even death seems jolly compared to cold rain, dirty snow and interminable NBA basketball.

Therefore, we were discussing the relative merits of rituals, specifically burial rituals. Of course, the ancient Egyptians set the bar so high on celebrating death there is no way we can hope to compete. But we can still profit from studying how the Egyptians and other civilizations honored their

dead. The crux of the issue is not what is in a burial for the dead but the living.

There are times when

GAVEL GAMUT

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE necessity dictates we cannot conduct rites of burial.

Sometimes natural disasters such as floods or hurricanes or man-made disasters such as wars cause so much death so quickly we must concentrate on preventing disease.

But usually we have the opportunity to say goodbye to the dead in ways that aid the living. Rituals of death do not have to involve pyramids or universal anguish to comfort the survivors and allow for both closure and moving on.

Societies that bury loved ones in bare dirt with nothing more than heartfelt ex-

pressions of grief can evince as much humanity as those who use tombs and pomp.

A few years ago, June 18, 2007 to be exact, I wrote a Gavel Gamut column about some then recent discoveries of ritualized burials from twenty-eight thousand years ago.

The archeologists who unearthed the carefully prepared corpses commented on the value that ancient culture placed on its dead and, ergo, its living as shown by the type of burial used.

We do our very best work as humans when we value and care for those who cannot care for themselves. As we care for the young, the elderly, the sick, the disabled and the dead we value ourselves as a species.

Then when Paul asks in his letter to the Corinthians at Chapter One, verses 55-56, “Death, where is thy sting?”, society can respond that death’s pain is relieved by the shared rituals that acknowledge it but refuse to be bowed by it.

There is a proposal in committee that would drastically cut funding for New Harmony School. This proposal changes the school funding formula so that it cuts funding for small schools. You will be hearing about this proposal and possibly others in the coming days. This is still a proposal and we do not know what will happen but we need to be contacting our legislators now.

Son honors mother with Relay for Life event

By Pam Robinson Posey County native Johnnie Sue Mason lost her threeyear battle with lung cancer on March 16, 2008, when just 67 years old. Now, her son Marty is making sure she remains a leader in the war against the disease.

A member of the Mount Vernon Relay for Life committee, Marty Mason is excited about an early event—the inaugural Johnnie Sue’s Lace Up Against Cancer 5K Run/Walk. Rain or shine, the race begins at 3 p.m. on Saturday, March 19, with a free kids’ dash for ages 12 and under following at 4:15 p.m.

Mount Vernon residents will fondly remember Johnnie Sue for her kind, helpful customer service at Jim & Wayne’s Pharmacy, where she was employed over 35 years. She is also celebrated for her work on the boards of several community organizations, including the Posey County Thrift Shop, the Mount Vernon Homeless Shelter and Friends of the Alexandrian Public Library.

She was a dedicated walker, and her son Marty has become an enthusiastic runner to support charities, primarily the American Cancer Society. Last year, he ran in six 5K races in Evansville and one half-marathon in Bloomington.

“I started running because of mom,” he says. “I wanted to understand her tiredness during her fight. I’ve never been a runner, and I hated running. I thought it would be a good way to experience that [fatigue], but, lo and behold, I fell in love with it.”

Marty explains that the 5K run/walk will cover 3.12 miles.

The mostly flat course will give a break to inexperienced runners and walkers and will allow experienced runners and walkers to clock fast times. The course will start on the south side of the Posey County Court House. From there, participants will go to the west end of town on 3rd Street, then turn and go back east on 2nd Street. A final turn will send participants west again on Water Street right past Mount Vernon’s spectacular riverfront.

Race director Junenna Helt is pleased about the activities surrounding the event. Country singer Christopher Richards out of Dahlgren, Ill., will provide entertainment. Relay for Life teams will be selling a wide variety of food and drinks.

Every child age 12 and under will receive a ribbon for participating in the free kids’ dash. The winner will receive a kids’ basket filled with items any kid would love. Clowns are hosting this special race.

Adult registration costs only $25 until 2 p.m. on race day.

Long-sleeved shirts will be available to adult participants on

WMI News March is Women’s History Month. For a small town, New Harmony has a rich history of notable women.

From 1814 – 1824 New Harmony was home to Gertrude Rapp. Although Gertrude remained loyal to the beliefs of her grandfather her whole life, it did not stop her from having a rich and full life in an era when most women were relegated to the kitchen and nursery.

Gertrude was well educated, a gifted musician and an accomplished businesswoman. She mastered the art of silk making and turned it into a moneymaking venture for the Harmony Society.

Like Gertrude, Marie Duclos Fretageot did not fit the mold for 19th women. Madam Fretageot called New Harmony home from 1824 to 1832. Born in France in 1783, she lived apart from her husband, the father of her only child, Achilles. She made her living as a teacher.

By Sherry Graves In 1819, her life was forever changed when she met and became a friend, follower and protégé of William Maclure.

Maclure had her schooled in the Pestalozzian method of teaching, and together they joined forces with Robert Owen in New Harmony.

Madam Fretageot taught in the schools of the Owen Community. But when the community faltered and Maclure left for the sunny climate of Mexico, it was Madam Fretageot who stayed on and managed Maclure’s affairs in New Harmony for several years. She remained loyal to Maclure and the two corresponded over the years leaving a large body of letters. Those letters were compiled, edited and annotated by Josephine Elliott in the book Partnership for Posterity.

Perhaps it seems a strange choice for Maclure to pick a woman to manage his affairs. The world of business

and positions of authority were not populated by many females in those days. Yet, Maclure respected Madam Fretageot and recognized her as a competent representative for his interests. But what of Madam Fretageot?

Why stay in this small town on the Wabash. It seems that her feelings for Maclure involved more than respect.

Mrs. Elliott makes a good case in favor of Madam Fretageot being in love with Maclure. And while Maclure admired her, it seems he did not return her romantic feelings.

In 1833 she went to Mexico to join him. Sadly, after only a few months she died.

Maclure died in Mexico in 1840.

Today, both Madam Fretageot and William Maclure are considered important people in the Owen community and in the history of New Harmony. Madam Fretageot stood on her own at a time when a woman was supposed to be dependent on a man. She was a teacher, a business manager, a trusted friend and a mother. She did it all with honesty and integrity.

By Martha Ries Spangled Banner. Regent Bledsoe then turned the meeting over to the School Chairman, Teresa Branson. Mrs. Branson explained the topics for the essays for this year.

Grade school students were to write on the “Memoirs of Paul Revere” and the High School students were asked to write their essay about lessons from Christopher Columbus’ life. First place winners are: Noah Rapp, fifth grade; Jordyn Miller , sixth

grade; Jascie Gish, eighth grade; and Allison Blunt, high school. Refreshments were served after the award presentation. A short business meeting followed. It was noted that 204 items were collected and given to the veterans. Eighteen hats and forty seven gloves were given to the grade schools in Posey County. Special recognition was given for Caleb Mourer and Paul Ries for helping set up the chairs for the meeting.

United Way distributes computers The United Way of Posey County, working with Net Literacy, distributed 16 computers on March 4 to 3 organizations in Posey County.

The computers will be used primarily in computer lab settings so the most clients possible can gain access.

Common activities include homework, job searches, resume building, and learning computer skills.

The computers were donated to Net Literacy and then refurbished as a part of a job training program. The United Way of Posey County worked to find strong local programs that would put the computers to use by the most individuals and reach both senior citizens and the youth in our community. It is estimated that more than 8000 people will access these computers each year.

Posey County Council on Aging, Family Matters, and Mt. Vernon Black Township Park & Recreation Community Center all received computers. At the Posey County Council on Aging, senior citizens will be able to access the internet daily, have classes, learn about the internet, email, documents and spreadsheets.

Kay Giles, Director of the Posey County Council on

Aging said “Participants are delighted to have the much needed knowledge that they once feared and felt left out of. Much pleasure is realized when a senior has the confidence to keep up with children and grandchildren over the internet with email.”

At Family Matters, Posey County residents will be able to access the internet for tax forms, apply for license plates, unemployment benefits and food stamps, apply for jobs, and prepare and update resumes.

At the Mt. Vernon Black

Township Park & Recreation Community Center, the computers will be used for after-school homework and training the department can provide for the youth of Posey County.

Elizabeth Baier, executive director of the United Way of Posey County, said “These computers will make an immediate impact on our community by helping young people with after school homework, keeping senior citizens connected, and helping with employment and tax issues.”

Canadian group Quartetto Gelato to perform March 12 Under the Beams is pleased to announce a light classical concert featuring the Canadian foursome Quartetto Gelato Saturday, March 12 at 8 pm at the Rapp-Owen Granary in New Harmony.

Known for their musical versatility, the group’s instrumental expertise consists of many different musical instruments including an operatic tenor in Peter DeSotto. Their repertoire is an eclectic mix of classical masterworks, operatic arias, tangos, gypsy tunes, and folk songs from around the world. Unique among their classical contemporaries, quartet members DeSotto, Liza McLellan, Alexander Sevastian and Colin Maier

perform without musical scores, and they inject generous doses of humor into their programs.

Quartetto Gelato’s CDs have been heard around the world, as Canadian astronaut Dr. Robert Thirsk took their first two CDs with him during his NASA flight on board the space shuttle Columbia. Despite having changed members frequently throughout the years, the Juno and Gemini nominated Quartetto Gelato persists with repeat sold-out performances throughout the globe.

This is the third concert of the season. The series will conclude on April 16 with a not-to-be-missed performance by Catherine

Russell featuring jazz and blues from New York City.

Under the Beams continues a tradition of bringing world-class musicians and incredible music to the intimate and unique setting of the Rapp-Owen Granary in historic New Harmony, where every seat is a good seat. All concerts are held in New Harmony’s RappOwen Granary on Saturday evenings beginning at 8 pm.

CHURCH CHURCH HURCH N NEWS NE EW Trinity UCC hosts Fat Tuesday Supper Trinity hosts Lenten Series on animals Trinity United Church of Christ at the corner of Mulberry and Fifth Streets invites the community to a Fat Tuesday sausage and pancake supper, March 8, 4:30-6:30. This meal is open to the public and partially finances the five day

Vacation Bible School that is held each summer for children in the community. Tickets at the door cost $5.25 for adults and $3.25 for children age 10 and under. For more information, call 838-3805.

The next day, March 9,

Trinity UCC will welcome the Mount Vernon community to Ash Wednesday services that include a ritual of sackcloth and ashes in addition to Holy Communion. The services begin at 12:15 p.m. and 7 p.m.

St. John’s Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper set St. John’s Episcopal Church located on the corner of Sixth and Mulberry streets in Mount Vernon will celebrate its traditional Shrove Tuesday pancake and sausage supper on March 8 beginning at 6 p.m. The parish hall is located on the back of the church on the 6th Street entrance.

St. John’s would like to extend an invitation to all in the community to attend this event. Donations given for a meal will benefit St. John’s Youth Group activities. Tra-

ditionally the men of the church prepare the meal with the youth helping as servers.

Shrove Tuesday gets its name from the ritual of shriving, when church members would confess their sins to the priest and receive forgiveness before the beginning of the Lenten season. Historically, Shrove Tuesday also marked the beginning of the 40-day Lenten fasting period when the faithful were forbidden by the church to consume meat, butter, eggs and milk. However, if a family had a store of

these foods they all would go bad by the time the fast ended on Easter Sunday.

What to do? Solution: Use up the milk, butter and eggs no later than Shrove Tuesday.

And so, with the addition of a little flour, the solution quickly presented itself in pancakes. Today, the Shrove Tuesday pancake tradition lives on throughout Western Europe, the United States, Canada, and Australia. For more information about St. John’s pancake supper, please call 838-5445.

FUMC to hold Lenten Study Beginning on Sunday, March 13, First United Methodist Church of Mount Vernon, 601 Main Street, will begin a six-week Lenten Study focusing on John Wesley’s three simple rules for Christian living: Do no harm; Do good; and Stay in love with God. Everyone is invited to participate.

Based on Reuben Job’s book, “Three Simple Rules,” the lessons have been designed for teaching to children through adults.

The six sessions on Wesley’s rules will be held for adults during the church’s Sunday school hour, which begins at 9:30 a.m. Children and youth will concentrate on the same rules on Sunday evening with rotating service activities and study

times. Call the church at 838-2640 for specific times.

John Wesley, founder of the Methodist movement in England in the 1800s, believed that following Christ in a way that renews both individuals and communities required disciplined practices. These disciplines gave power and strength to people of the early Methodist movement to live as

faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.

A study guide, “Three Simple Rules for Christian Living,” will be available for participants who call in advance. Following the study, opportunities will be provided for applying these Christian principles through community service projects and other spiritual growth activities.

SERMON OF THE WEEK: Seeing Him as He is By: The Rev. Sean Esterline, Messiah Lutheran Church To refresh your memory before going to far into the sermon today, please take a few minutes and read the account of Jesus' Transfiguration from St. Matthew 17:1-9. (Don't worry, I'll wait... ) All finished? Good!

So, in what you just read, we saw Peter, James, and John going up a mountain with Jesus where an amazing event is about to take place. On the mountaintop, Jesus's appearance and clothing are changed, becoming a brilliant glowing white. This means that the disciples are finally allowed to briefly see Jesus as true God and true man. They are given a quick glimpse at Jesus's divinity hiding beneath his humanity. Why did God do this? Well, this transfiguration happens in order to tell us, in no uncertain terms, that this truly human Jesus Christ is truly God as well.

Led by the Holy Spirit, the writers of the New Testament want to be sure that we understood and believed this. For example, when St. Paul wrote to the Philippians, he said that Jesus “did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped.” Jesus didn't have to reach for divine status or work to attain it, because it was His by the very nature of His being. Here, in the Transfiguration of our Lord, we are being told something very important about who Jesus of Nazareth is.

Unlike other supernatural Biblical events, our understanding from this event is not based on miracles Jesus performs or anything He does. Even in the other miracles He performs (which John calls, “signs of His glory”), we are still left to infer who Jesus is by what He does. But here, at the Transfiguration, we see Him "as He is." We are allowed to see "the glory as of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:14) without inference or assumption. (In fact, God the Father sends Moses and Elijah to confirm Jesus's identity, as well as making the proclamation Himself with the words “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”)

Griffin Christian Church

Please also keep in mind that the concept of Jesus as the “Son of God” does not mean that Jesus was in any way inferior to God. Quite the contrary. Hebrews 1:1-3 tells us very clearly: “In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son whom He appointed heir of all things and through whom He made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.” So, as the writer to the Hebrews reminds us, in the event of the Transfiguration we see (and hear from God the Father Himself) that Jesus, true man and true God, truly is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being.

Now that's all well and good, but what does that mean for us here, today? Well, we have this event recorded because it is a kind of promise, a “preview of coming attractions” for those of us who believe in Christ as our Savior. If you want to know what's in store for you in the future, this is a glimpse at the glory of God that will be revealed to us on the Last Day. On that great day we will gather together with all the faithful who went ahead of us, (people like Moses and Elijah) and we will enjoy the radiant glory of God's presence in Heaven. This is God's sure promise, given to all those who believe in Jesus as their one and only Savior from sin, death, and the power of the devil. (“This is my Son... listen to Him!”) So now, after the Transfiguration, as we join Peter, James, and John and begin to walk back down the mountain and head back to our jobs, our schools, our homes—we keep in mind what we have seen and what we have heard (“This is my Son... listen to Him!”) and we trust that the glimpse of heavenly glory that we've been given will certainly not be our last. We believe that—thanks to the work of our divine Lord and Savior Jesus Christ—all of our sins have been removed, and we are clothed in that same glowing righteousness of Christ. Thanks to Jesus, all of our sins have been forgiven, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Blaffer Foundation accepting grant applications The Robert Lee Blaffer Foundation, a 501(c)3, headquartered in New Harmony, Indiana, is currently accepting grant requests through the application process for the 2011-2012 grant cycle.

Grant opportunities may be available to nonprofit organizations that are qualified for tax exemption under Internal Revenue Code 501(c) (3) and further classified as a public charity under Internal Revenue Code 509 (a) (1), (2), or (3). Grants for the New Harmony, Indiana area, are given priority and grant projects must be charitable, educational, or cultural and promote the public good.

The Robert Lee Blaffer Foundation also welcomes grant proposals for

co-sponsorship opportunities. Examples of previously awarded projects can be found at the organization’s website at www.robertleeblafferfoundation.org, along with complete information on the application process for grant proposals and cosponsorship grant opportunities. Deadline for submitting grant applications is March 31, 2011.

Created in the 1950s by the late Jane Blaffer Owen of New Harmony, Indiana, the Robert Lee Blaffer Foundation was established to honor the memory of Mrs. Owen’s father, Robert Lee Blaffer, a Texas oilman and a founder of Humble Oil Company. From its beginning, the Foundation’s mission has

been to preserve, promote and support, financially and otherwise, the various historic and educational attributes of New Harmony and the adjacent area. The Foundation is organized exclusively for charitable, religious, scientific, literary and educational purposes.

During 2010, the Robert Lee Blaffer Foundation awarded a total of twenty (20) grants to Tri-State notfor-profit organizations, making more than $100,000 available in funds and inkind services. A list of funded projects can be found on the website.

The Foundation considers grant proposals at its annual board meeting, customarily held in May.

FEMA urges residents to purchase flood insurance With forecasts predicting significant flooding this spring, Indiana faces the threat of flooding along rivers and tributaries throughout the state. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is encouraging individuals, families and businesses to prepare for flooding now by purchasing a flood insurance policy, as there is a 30-day waiting period before a flood insurance policy takes effect.

Over the past 20 years, there have been numerous flood disasters in Indiana, 19 of which have been significant enough to warrant disaster declarations by the President.

A claim on a flood insurance policy can be filed after any flooding event whether or not it is declared a disaster by the President.

“We’re all at some level of flood risk. Homeowners, renters and business owners should take steps now to protect against that risk,” said Andrew Velasquez III, FEMA Region V administrator. “Because homeowner's insurance does not cover flood loss, purchasing a flood insurance policy is one of the best ways to protect yourself from the financial impacts associated with flood damage.”

Flood insurance is available to everyone in those communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program. Homes and businesses do not have to be in a high-risk flood hazard area to be eligible for coverage. In fact, more than 20 percent of all claims come from floods that happened in low or moderate flood-risk

areas.

The average cost of a flood insurance premium in Indiana is about $773 a year – just $2 a day for financial protection from what could be devastating effects of a flood in a home or business. Flood insurance policies can be purchased for both the property and contents; an insurance agent can tailor a policy to fit specific needs.

Find out more about flood insurance and your flood risk online at www.floodsmart. gov or call 1-888-379-9531.

FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

Girl Scouts to celebrate 99 years on March 12 Girl Scouts of Southwest Indiana (GSSI) will join nearly four million adult and girl members of Girl Scouts around the nation in celebrating Girl Scout Week, March 6-12, which marks the 99th anniversary of the founding of Girl Scouting by Juliette Gordon Low, on March 12, 1912.

When Girl Scouts was founded, in 1912, girls’ paths in life were limited by their social standing, as well as by traditional attitudes about the role of women in society. Low encouraged girls to prepare not only for traditional homemaking, but also for future roles as professional women in the arts, sciences, and business, and for active citizenship. For nearly a century, Girl Scout programs have made a lasting impact on girl’s lives by engaging them in activities based on the understanding that a true leader needs to do three things: Discover herself and her values; Connect to care about, inspire and team with others; and Take Action to make the world a better place.

“From the youngest Girl Scout Daisy to teen Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors, the Girl Scouts who delivered the cookies you ordered this year did much more than just sell cookies,” said GSSI Board Chair Jane Wittmer Kuhn. “They developed skills in goal setting, decision making, money management, personal interaction, and business ethics. The Cookie Program and other activities offered to girls as part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience foster the development of specific leadership qualities such as self-esteem, positive values, critical thinking, community spirit, and the ability to educate and inspire,” Kuhn added.

“As the leading authority on girls’ healthy de-

velopment and with programs that focus on the development of positive values like honesty, caring, cooperation, and respect for self and others, Girl Scouts partners with families and communities to provide enriching experiences and foster the inner strength and attitudes girls need to make wise choices for themselves as they grow into adulthood.”

Girl Scouts has remained relevant and appealing to girls for almost a century by making periodic updates to its programs, based on input from members, as well as on findings of current national research regarding girls’ needs and interests. Over the past several years, for instance, the organization’s “From Good to Great” strategy evaluated the impact of today’s girls’ busy schedules on their participation in Girl Scouts. The organization now offers girls the option of participating in any or all of the following flexible Pathways—as a member of a troop or group that meets regularly, by attending resident or day camp or a council event, going on a trip, or as part of a series group that meets several times to explore a particular topic.

The nearly 10,000 girls in eleven counties who are served by Girl Scouts of Southwest Indiana each year enjoy opportunities to travel, champion efforts to reduce the human impact on the environment, learn twenty-first century business skills, and develop attitudes that prepare them for success in today’s increasingly multicultural workplace. For more information on how to join, volunteer, reconnect, or donate to Girl Scouts, call Girl Scouts of Southwest Indiana, 812-421-4970 or visit www.girlscouts-gssi.org.

The North Posey BPA Chapter traveled to Indianapolis February 27 – March 1 to compete at the State Leadership Conference. Fifteen students: Ashley Whitfield, Megan Cumbee, Kaylen Lohman, Lucas Neuffer, Joey Priest, Austin O’Risky, Brandon Stovall, Rylan Gentil, Jordan Fisher, Alex Maile, Nick Neidig, Cody Voelker, Charles Hempfling, Dylan Krohn, and Mitchell Kuhn; competed. Seven students saw the stage at the awards ceremony on Tuesday. Alex Maile placed seventh in Financial Math & Analysis, Joseph Priest 9th in IT Concepts, Jordan Fisher 8th in Advanced

Spreadsheet Applications, and the team of Cumbee, Lohman, Hempfling, and Voelker 4th in Presentation Management. Mrs. Neidig is proud of the BPA Chapter and the way they represent North Posey High School.

During the three day conference students competed in events, attended leadership sessions and meetings, and met new people.

According to senior Lucas Neuffer, the best part of the conference was meeting new people, attending the general sessions, and hearing the keynote speaker, Jeff Yalden. On Monday afternoon the students who were not competing even

found time for a tour of the State House.

Business Professionals of America (BPA) is a vocational co-curricular student organization (much like FFA). Students have the opportunity to develop their leadership, technical, and communications skills through a variety of events.

The Indiana State Leadership Conference is held annually in Indianapolis and hosts 1,300-1,500 students from around the state who qualified to compete at their District Competitions. Since 2001, North Posey students have qualified to attend. Mrs. Neidig, BPA advisor, says; “Keep up the good work.”

Local farmer wins $2,500 for Fire Department Mark Seib of Poseyville has been selected as a winner in America’s Farmers Grow CommunitiesSM program, which gives farmers the opportunity to win $2,500 for their favorite local nonprofit organizations.

The donations are available through the Monsanto Fund. Seib has designated Poseyville Robb Volunteer Fire Department, located in Poseyville, to receive the

award in Posey County.

In more than 1,200 eligible counties, farmers can win $2,500 for their favorite community nonprofit. The Monsanto Fund expects to invest more than $3 million in local communities.

America’s Farmers Grow Communities is part of a broad commitment by the Monsanto Fund to highlight the important con-

tributions farmers make every day to our society by helping them grow their local communities. To date, more than 60,000 farmers participated in the program, which is designed to benefit nonprofit groups such as ag youth, schools and other civic organizations.

Local students serve as pages for McNamara State Rep. Wendy McNamara (R-Mount Vernon) had local students serve as pages for the day.

Katie Koewler, Kaitlyn Carrico, Adriana Funke and Melissa Bowers, all, recently served as Indiana House Pages during the 2011 session of the Indiana General Assembly.

“It was a pleasure to meet and spend time with these students. The page program really gives Indiana youth unparalleled ac-

cess to the Statehouse and to the legislative process,” said Rep. McNamara.

As pages, the students were able to see how the state legislature works firsthand in a behind-thescenes tour. During their tour, they saw where the Governor works and observed floor sessions of the House, Senate and Supreme Court chambers.

They also worked alongside Rep. McNamara, legislative assistants and

interns. The pages served on Monday, February 21st and experienced how a bill becomes a law as they watched legislators on the House floor debate issues.

“The House Page Program is an educational way for students to gain a better understanding of the lawmaking process,” said Rep. McNamara. I encourage all students to take advantage of this excellent academic opportunity.”

Bamberger receives award Bamberger, Foreman, Oswald & Hahn, LLP won the 2011 Your Honor Award from the Legal Marketing Association (LMA) Midwest Chapter for the firm’s image advertising campaign.

Bamberger’s ad campaign was entered under the category of advertising, public relations and community relations.

It was one of five finalists selected – all other finalists were from larger markets such as Chicago – and Bamberger’s campaign was named the winning entry at the LMA Awards ceremony in Chicago on Thursday, February 24, 2011.

According to the judge’s remarks at the ceremony: “Bamberger’s series of ads incorporated clever messaging and imagery that generated impressive results. The campaign created buzz all over southwest Indiana, further positioning

the firm as a good, safe and dominant choice for legal representation. However, what really set this campaign apart was the tiny budget used for production.

This campaign reminds us all that with a bit of ingenuity and creativity, even a firm with a very small budget can create really memorable and effective advertising.”

Also responsible for the collaboration of this award-winning campaign are Evansville’s Gray Loon Marketing and Jordan Barclay Photography. The ads have been running since 2010 in Evansville Living, Evansville Business and EBJ. The LMA Midwest Your Honor Awards recognize Midwest law firms that illustrate excellence in marketing, business development and communications programs. Founded

in 1989, the LMA Midwest was the first local chapter founded under the international LMA umbrella, and its members are from five Midwest states – Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri and Wisconsin.

Bamberger, Foreman, Oswald & Hahn, LLP was organized in 1959, and is the largest law firm in Southwest Indiana. For more than 50 years, the firm has incorporated cutting edge technology and education to represent the legal practice areas of business law, banking and creditor’s rights, healthcare law, litigation, estate planning and private client services, family law, employment law, agriculture, environmental, utility, construction, real estate and land use law. Bamberger has offices in Evansville, Indianapolis and throughout southwestern Indiana.

Rangers use Bromm to sweep Vikings, take tourney title

North Posey junior Jourdan Cox drives to the basket with a look of determination during the team’s Friday night win over South Spencer. Photo by Dave Pearce

By Dave Pearce Following Saturday night’s 43-41 loss to top-ranked and undefeated Forest Park in the Class 2A sectional final at Boonville, most of the people in the North Posey locker room were heart-broken, and with good reason.

The Vikings had just played perhaps their best game of the season. They had saved it for the Sectional final.

Following a pair of free throws by Scheller to tie the game at 41 with 7.5 seconds remaining, Forest Park’s 6-4 senior point guard got the ball and drove the length of the court.

And when Bromm did an “up and under” between two North Posey defenders, and put up a 12-foot, one-handed floater just

as the game-ending horn sounded and the light surrounding the basket came on, the Vikings appeared stunned, dazed, drained, surprised, and deflated.

“To be honest, we had two guys on him and I was beginning to wonder if he was even going to be able to get a shot off,” North Posey Coach Matt Wadsworth said. “But he used that up-and-under move to make a very tough play.”

Seniors Eric Wargel, Dillon Davenport, Nick Scheller, Cameron Calvert, Cooper Martin, and their teammates had shown a near-capacity crowd in Boonville just how hard you a team can play. Unfortunately, they also learned that despite how hard you play, you are not always the team that advances. The 23-0 Rangers move on while the Vikings finished with a record of 17-5, one win shy of the school record set last season..

“You just have to hold your head up high and realize that you didn’t have any more to give than what you gave tonight,” an emotional Coach Matt Wadsworth told his team following the game. “You left it all out there. You put yourself in a position to beat the best in the state and tonight, you were one shot short. And they had the ball last. You guys did everything we asked of you and everything you could do and we are extremely proud of you.”

The Vikings had been looking forward to a rematch with the state’s top-ranked team since a January battle in Poseyville.

The Rangers took a see-saw battle and used the free throw line to close out the Vikings in front of a packed house on that cold night.

“The different tonight was that we had better decisionmaking and we moved the ball more and got more inside cuts and a lot of that credit goes to the seniors,” Wadsworth said.

“I know it is hard to realize now but down the road you seniors will be able to look back at the past three years and what you have been able to accomplish, through the good times and the bad,” Wadsworth said comforting his players.

But at Boonville, it was more a tale of two halves as the Vikings opened the game with a 12-0 lead and held an 11-point lead (24-13) at the half as they were able to control the pace of the game and shoot a good percentage. The Vikings used the combination of bulk and finesse in the 6-2 Calvert in the early going and he scored seven of his 10 points early inside against taller defenders. The Rangers had six players on their roster listed at 6-foot-4 or taller.

“We had confidence tonight because our kids bought into our game plan and they the kids did everything we asked them to do,” Wadsworth said. “We knew it would be a game of runs and we had a nice run in the first half and they had a nice run there in the third quarter. Tonight it came down to who got the past possession and unfortunately, they did.”

The third quarter indeed turned sour for the Vikings as they

It was also Bromm’s 3-pointer that gave the Rangers a 38-36 lead with 3:40 remaining in the contest.

“We had to adjust our defense because they had found some seams and they made some adjustments at half-time,” Wadsworth said. “But you have to give them all the credit in the world. They are undefeated for a reason. They are a balanced ball club and they have some guys who can step up and make plays.”

But with 1:38 showing on the clock and Forest Park nursing a 40-39 lead, the Rangers took a time out. On the ensuing possession, North Posey was called for its sixth team foul out on the floor in a steal attempt at 1:08.

The Rangers maintained possession and attempted to get inside and get a close-in bucket. However, Calvert and Wargel combined on a steal with Calvert finally coming up with the ball. He got the ball to Davenport but as the speedy point

Rappites win first half but succumb to bigger, quicker Eagles

By Steve Joos The New Harmony boys’ basketball team did a lot to make its coach proud Friday night.

But there were two things which they couldn’t answer in the Rappites’ Class 1A Tecumseh Sectional clash with Evansville Day School.

The Eagles were quicker and they pulled the Rappites into a jumping match.

That was the difference as Day School stormed out with 10 unanswered points to open the second half and went on to eliminate New Harmony 85-69.

“We played hard,” coach Jim Little said. “I was very proud of kids. We stuck to our game plan. The only thing that we didn’t do and we know it, the kids know it, was that we didn’t block out, we got into a jumping match with them. That was something we couldn’t do, that we talked about. The other thing was that we had no answer for is their speed.”

And when the second half started, Day School turned on the after-burners and New Harmony couldn’t keep up.

With seven players in the rotation (compared to six for the Rappites), the Eagles made it difficult for New Harmony to stay on track, especially at the start of the third quarter. That’s when Day School reeled off 10 straight points and turned a 38-37 halftime Rappite lead into a 47-38 Day School edge.

Kyle Whitmore got New Harmony’s first points of the period, but Day School roared back with five more unanswered points to open a 52-40 bulge. Buckets by Blayne Worman and Andrew McDaniel got things under double digits again, but New Harmony could get no closer than eight points the rest of the way.

The Eagles led 62-51 entering the fourth quarter and opened the final chapter with a 9-3 run that made the score 71-54.

Little also complimented the opposition after the loss.

“When you score 69 points and get beat,” he said “You’ve been beaten by a good team. They came out and decided to do what we were doing in the first half. In the first half, we were taking the ball to the basket. They come out and did what we were doing and that caught us a little bit off-guard.”

Once the Rappites got their bearings back, New Harmony was able to be a little bit more competitive, but they just couldn’t keep up with the Eagles after that outburst at the start of the second half.

But the team kept working hard and putting up a fight, the coach added, something he was very pleased with.

The Rappites kept to that game plan in the first half and they were able to bounce back after falling behind 8-1 in the first quarter.

That Day School lead was 16-9 when Kris Scarfia connected with three and one-half minutes to go in the opening quarter. Basel Allaw downed a free throw to make the score 17-11, but Scarfia cut it to four points on a driving layup.

Day School answered with a 6-4 run that stretch the lead to 23-17 at the break. McDaniel’s three to open the second quarter got the Rappites to within three points before some more cat and mouse put Day School back up by six.

Whitmore’s fall away jumper and another trey by McDaniel cut the lead to one point at 26-25. The senior guard, who paced the Rappites with 23 points, scored the team’s next five

points, giving them a 33-32 edge with three minutes to play in the half.

The Eagles scored five in a row to go up 37-33 on an Alex Henke free throw with 2:04 to go, but back came the Rappites, as Levi Hoehn stuck in a rebound and Whitmore drained a trey to give New Harmony a 38-37 lead which they held through halftime.

But in the second half, Day School came out doing what the Rappites did in the opening two quarters.

“We went into the game wanting to attack their press and we wanted to slice and dice their match-up zone,” Little said.

“With their team speed, you have to keep moving to break down their defense.”

In addition to McDaniel, Blayne Worman scored 16 points, while Whitmore put in 13 and Scarfia 10. Hoehn chipped in four points and Clint Matthews three to round out the scoring for New Harmony.

New Harmony shot nearly 50 percent for the game and took advantage of a number of open three-point shots, connecting on 13 of 32 from beyond the arc.

McDaniel knocked down four of those treys, while Whitmore and Worman each had three. Scarfia dropped in two three-pointers and Matthews one.

Free throws were another problem area for the Rappites, as they were outscored 17-2 from the charity stripe.

Allaw was the quickest of the Eagles, burning the Rappites for a game-high 29 points. Freshman Jordan LeGroine added 27 tallies and Hanke put in 14.

“What I told the kids in my pre-game talk was, everywhere in the state tomorrow morning, there are going to be some old guys, sitting around drinking coffee and talking about what would have, could have, should have,” Little said. “This is the team that would have, this is the team which could have.

There’s going to be kids getting up saying ‘if only I…’ My question was ‘what’s going to be the end of the story?’ Is it going to be a good ending? Or is it going to be ‘if only I?’ We didn’t win, but they finished the story and they gave the people of New Harmony something to be proud of.”

The Rappites closed out their season with a 10-13 record, but they gave their fans a good show and they even impressed some fans from Boonville (where Little teaches social studies).

The coach also thanked his six seniors (McDaniel, Scarfia, Worman, Hoehn, Stephen Murray and Luke Allison) for their efforts over the course of the season and said that they will be missed.

“Having six kids for a senior class is great for a small Class 1A school,” Little explained. “We will have to search the hallways next year with only six returning players and a small eighth grade group coming in.”

One thing appears to be certain about 2011-12, Little added, the kids will have plenty of playing time.

Memorial takes out Wildcats in see-saw sectional battle

Vikings, from Page B1

By Steve Joos Just when it seemed like one team would take control of Tuesday’s Class 3A Sctional boys’ basketball game between Mount Vernon and Memorial, the other team would make a run.

Until the fourth quarter, that is.

The Tigers knocked down 13 free throws in the final chapter Tuesday night and pulled away from the Wildcats 68-59 in the first game of Class 3A Sectional 32 at Princeton.

For the better part of the game, the Wildcats and Tigers went back and forth until the Tigers found enough toughness to put things away. At least, that’s how Mount Vernon coach Gary Wilsey saw it.

“When it’s a battle like that, it’s just push and shove and usually the teams that are tougher find ways to win,” Wilsey said.

“We’re getting there, but this group has got to move on now.”

Wilsey was unhappy that the Wildcats couldn’t have performed better for the seniors on this year’s squad, but felt that they would do a good job in their future endeavors.

But on Tuesday, the Cats were locked in a tight battle and one thing they didn’t want to do down the stretch was foul Memorial’s

guard attempted to drive the baseline, he lost his footing and went to the floor and as he fought to retain possession of the

Alphonso Baity. They tried double teaming him, taking charges, anything and they still wound up sending the Henderson, Ky., junior guard to the charity stripe 14 times in the final chapter, where he downed 12 free throws to stretch what had been a 4037 lead entering the last eight minutes. Baity connected on 14 of 16 from the charity stripe enroute to a game-high 23 points.

The Memorial junior converted 22 of 25 free throws for the evening, compared to just eight of 18 for the Cats. That wasn’t enough, according to Wilsey.

The coach thought the team had a good gameplan and showed some defensive intensity, but they also showed that they are still learning how to win and may have some lessons to learn.

The Cats fell behind 6-2 early in the game and were down 9-4 when they reeled off 11 unanswered points and took a 15-9 lead.

Brian Koch sparked the uprising by scooping in a layup. Jacob Steinhart followed with a layup and then Koch knocked down a fadeaway jumper to put the Wildcats up 10-9. Mount Vernon added another five tallies before Memorial got back on the scoreboard, cutting Mount Vernon’s advantage to 15-11 at the break.

The Cats were able to open a six-point lead twice in the second quarter before Memorial went on a 5-1 run and closed to within two points at 21-19. Mount Vernon was able to hang on to a one-point advantage until Baity scored at the end of the period, putting Memorial in front 25-24.

The Tigers then built a six-point advantage at 30-24 early in the third quarter,

but a two-handed dunk by Straub, a threepointer from Jason Stemple and a Steinhart putback with 3:35 left in the period put Mount Vernon back in the driver’s seat.

That started another round of back and forth until Memorial went up by three points at the end of the third quarter. Steinhart opened the fourth period with a layup and was fouled, but couldn’t convert the free throw. From there, Memorial went on an 8-2 run and controlled the game for the most part, although the Cats cut the lead to four points on several occasions.

“That’s what we’re up against here,” Wilsey said. “There haven’t been a lot of wins in the history of Mount Vernon and I was always taught by my coaches that you revert to your old ways in a time of crisis.

We got a little careless with the ball, didn’t come and meet some passes. In a close game, it just comes down to a few mistakes. I can’t fault the effort, they carried out the game plan and that’s all I can say.”

Steinhart paced the Cats with 18 points, while Koch added 11 and Aaron Straub stepped up with 10 to give the team three players in double figures.

The ball rimmed out a few times and that bothered Mount Vernon’s confidence, the coach added, saying that the team is still learning how to compete and is hopefully getting better at that.

Stemple and Troy Paris each put in six points, while Austin Goebel added four.

Sam Johnson and Craig Dick each scored two points as the Cats finished the season with an 8-16 record.

Nick Ahlers and Jason Auker each put in 10 points for Memorial.

the confidence Wadsworth had in his senior point guard.

“There were two very good point guards in this game tonight. I think Dillon Davenport is a tremendous point guard and so is Nathan Bromm,” Wadsworth said. “If you live outside of this area and only look at the box scores, you have no idea how good these guys are because their leadership is so valuable on the floor and their knowledge of the game of basketball.

With 35 seconds to play, the Vikings gambled and put junior forward Miles Leonard on the free throw line. He hit the first and missed the second and the Vikings rebounded.

With the Vikings trailing 41-39, Wadsworth took a time out to set up the play but the team committed a turnover only to get the ball back when the Forest Park defender rolled on the floor with possession, an automatic traveling call.

The Vikings took their final time out with 12.9 seconds showing on the clock and they Davenport got the ball into the hands of Scheller. Scheller drove to the bucket and was fouled with 7.5 remaining.

The senior calmly swished the first free throw and Forest Park took a time out.

“During the time out, we told them that if Nick made the second free throw, we obviously were going to have to contain and we did,” Wadsworth said. “He got just inside the three-point line with two guys on him when he made that play.”

But it didn’t shake Scheller as the free throw out of the time out also hit nothing but net to set up Bromm’s last second heroics.

Bromm finished with a game-high 15 points. Leonard had seven, while Grant Welp had six points and four rebounds.

Calvert and Wargel (who hit a pair of threes in the second half), each finished with 10 points while Cox finished with seven, Schelle4r sic, and Davenport and Harness with four each. The Vikings commited only six tornovers and Wargel had a pair of blocked shots. Calvert had eight rebounds while Cox had five and Scheller three.

“It takes players, coaches, and everyone to build a good basketball team,” Wadsworth said. “You have to go to the summer camps and get to the weight room and work to get better. That’s one thing about this group of seniors. They have done that. Now it is up to the underclassmen to do the same thing.”

In Friday night’s game, the Vikings methodically put away the South Spencer Rebels, holding the Rebels to single-digit scoring in three of the four quarters. The Vikings led 10-6 at the first stop and 21-13 at the half. They expanded the lead to 34-19 by the end of the third period and won the game decidedly, 49-30.

Calvert finished with 17 and Scheller 14 to lead the team.

Junior Jourdan Cox and Davenport each had six while Wargel and sophomore Wes Harness each had two.

Bosse dethrones Princeton, Wood replaces Braves after 12 titles There was good news and bad news for Gibson County boys’ basketball fans as Indiana’s Sectional champions were crowned Saturday night.

The good news came in Lynnville, as Wood Memorial ended a 21-year dry spell dating back to the one class

era.

In 1990, Wood Memorial upset then-state ranked Princeton with All-Stater Travis Trice, in the opener of the Tigers’ Sectional and went from there to win a Sectional championship.

The Trojans didn’t win another Sectional crown before

Saturday night.

Hunter Erwin scored 26 points as Wood Memorial battled back after a threepoint lead got away late in regulation and topped the Day School Eagles in overtime 66-64 to win the Class 1A Tecumseh Sectional.

The Trojans dethroned

the host Braves 46-29 Friday night to end Tecumseh’s 12-year run as Sectional champs.

Keenan Bazjath added 18 points and Nick Powers put in 12 as Wood Memorial raised its record to 13-11 on the season and advanced to this weekend’s Logootee

USI receives at-large bid, will play in Louisville The 11th-ranked University of Southern Indiana men’s basketball team received an at-large bid to the NCAA Division II Tournament and will play in the Midwest Regional, which is scheduled for March 12-15 in Louisville, Kentucky. The regional is being hosted by second-ranked and top-seeded Bellarmine University.

The Screaming Eagles (24-5) return to the NCAA Division II Tournament after a one-year hiatus and are making their 16th appearance in the regional in the last 19 seasons.

USI, the 1995 NCAA II National Champion, has appeared in the NCAA II Tournament 21 times in the history of the program and has a record of 30-23 in tournament play.

The Eagles are the second seed in the regional and start national tournament action Saturday at 11 a.m. (CST) with a familiar foe – seventh-seeded Drury University (22-7).

USI defeated the Drury during the regular season, 75-65, at

the Physical Activities Center and on Saturday in the GLVC Tournament semifinals, 88-74, in St. Louis, Missouri.

After the USI-Drury match-up Saturday, the Midwest Regional features third-seeded Wayne State University (22-7) against sixth-seeded Ferris State University (22-7) at 1:30 p.m. (CST). Wayne State and Ferris State are the only representatives from the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

The second session of the regional features Bellarmine (27-2) hosting eighth-seeded University of Indianapolis (19-8) at 5 p.m. (CST). Fourth-seeded Northern Kentucky University plays fifth-seeded Kentucky Wesleyan College (19-9) at 7:30 p.m. in the final game of the first round.

The semifinals will be played March 13 at 4 p.m. (CDT) and 6:30 p.m. (CDT), while the regional championship game is March 15 at 6 p.m. (CDT).

Regional, where they will face Trinity Lutheran.

Jared LeGroine scored 22 points to lead the Eagles, who were looking for their first championship ever.

Ethan Black added 21 tallies and Basel Allaw put in 17.

That was the good news for Gibson County in the Sectional finals. The bad news came at Princeton, where the Bosse Bulldogs got a baseline jumper from Stanley Trice with 13.7 ticks left on the clock for a 64-63 win over the Tigers to claim the Class 3A Sectional crown.

Jaquan Lyle scored 25 points, but it was Trice who took a feed from Jalen Pendleton after Pendleton drew in the Princeton defense on a drive to the hoop, who capped Bosse’s rally from an eight-point deficit with the game-winner.

Pendleton added 23 points for Bosse, which will now face Washington in the second game of Saturday’s regional at the Hatchet House.

Senior twins Rontray Chavis (23 points) and Dontray Chavis (22) led the Tigers, who closed out their season at 18-5.

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 remaining 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 se-

lected 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.

USI Screamin’ Eagles fail to find solution to riddle known as Bellarmine The 11th-ranked University of Southern Indiana men’s basketball team lost in overtime, 87-81, to second-ranked Bellarmine University in the GLVC Tournament championship game Sunday afternoon at Maryville University in St. Louis, Missouri. USI, the second seed in the GLVC Tournament, falls to 24-5 overall, while Bellarmine, the top seed, rises to 27-2.

The Screaming Eagles controlled the first 10 minutes of the game, including a sixpoint, 11-5, advantage at the 16:25 mark, be-

fore a six minute scoring drought allowed the Knights to take the momentum. Bellarmine rallied with a 14-3 run to take a six-point lead of its own, 26-20.

USI got the offense back into gear and used a 6-0 run to knot the score at 26-26 with 2:20 remaining before halftime. The Eagles missed on their next possession, permitting the Knights to score the final five points of the half and take a 31-26 advantage into the intermission.

Bellarmine continued to nurse its advan-

tage in the second half when the USI used an 8-2 run to tie the score, 47-47, with 9:36 left. USI senior center Mohamed Ntumba (Kinshasa, Congo) dominated during the run, scoring six of the eight points.

After the Knights briefly took back the advantage, the Eagles bounced back to post their first lead of the second half, 52-51, with 4:39 left. USI went on to build a threepoint lead, 62-59, after the squads trade the lead three times in the span of three minutes.

Bellarmine forced overtime when Knights

senior forward Nick Holmes completed a three-point play to tie the game at 62-62 with one minute to play.

In overtime, the squads traded the lead seven times before Bellarmine hit back-toback three-point field goals to go ahead for the final time. The Knights, who hit 21-of-22 free throws in the game, sealed the victory with 10 straight free throws to get the win, 87-79.

Overall, the championship contest had 15 lead changes and seven ties.

THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS • SERVING THE COUNTY SINCE 1882 • WWW.POSEYCOUNTYNEWS.COM

Daylight Savings Time begins this weekend... spring forward Throughout its long and fascinating history, daylight saving time has had a remarkable impact on a wide variety of unexpected areas--from Middle East terrorism to feuding twin cities, voter turnout to time-change riots, radio stations to trick-or-treaters, and opera performances to manslaughter charges. Posey County changes this weekend.

Draft Status, Vietnam War A man, born just after 12:00 a.m. DST, circumvented the Vietnam War draft by using a daylight saving time loophole. When drafted, he argued that standard time, not DST, was the official time for recording births in his state of Delaware in the year of his birth. Thus, under official standard time he was actually born on the previous day--and that day had a much higher draft lottery number, allowing him to avoid the draft.

Bombing Thwarted In September 1999, the West Bank was on Daylight Saving Time while Israel had just switched back to standard time. West Bank terrorists prepared time bombs and smuggled them to their Israeli counterparts, who misunderstood the time on the bombs. As the bombs were being planted, they exploded--one hour too early--killing three terrorists instead of the intended victims--two busloads of people.

Halloween Trick-or-Treaters Through 2006, Daylight Saving Time in the U.S. ended a few days before Halloween (October 31). Children’s pedestrian deaths are four times higher on Halloween than on any other night of the year. A new law to extend DST to the first Sunday in November took effect in 2007, with the purpose of providing trick-or-treaters more light and therefore more safety from traffic accidents. For decades, candy manufacturers lobbied for a Daylight Saving Time extension to Halloween, as many of the young trick-or-treaters gathering candy are not allowed out after dark, and thus an added hour of light means a big holiday treat for the candy industry. Anecdotally, the 2007 switch may not have had much effect, as it appeared that children simply waited until dark to go trick-or-treating.

Chaos of Non-Uniform DST Widespread confusion was created during the 1950s and 1960s when each U.S. locality could start and end Daylight Saving Time as it desired. One year, 23 different pairs of DST start and end dates were used in Iowa alone. For exactly five weeks each year, Boston, New York, and Philadelphia were not on the same time as Washington D.C., Cleveland, or Baltimore--but Chicago was. And, on one Ohio to West Virginia bus route, passengers had to change their watches seven times in 35 miles! The situation led to millions of dollars in costs to several industries, especially those involving transportation and communications.

Extra railroad timetables alone cost the today’s equivalent of over $12 million per year.

Minneapolis-St. Paul The Minnesota cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul once didn’t have twin perspectives with regard to the clock. These two large cities are adjacent at some points and separated only by the Mississippi River at others, and are considered a single metropolitan area. In 1965, St. Paul decided to begin its Daylight Saving Time period early to conform to most of the nation, while Minneapolis felt it should follow Minnesota’s state law, which stipulated a later start date. After intense inter-city negotiations and quarreling, the cities could not agree, and so the one-hour time difference went into effect, bringing a period of great time turmoil to the cities and surrounding areas.

Time Change Riots Patrons of bars that stay open past 2:00 a.m. lose one hour of drinking time on the day when Daylight Saving Time springs forward one hour. This has led to annual problems in numerous locations, and sometimes even to riots. For example, at a “time disturbance” in Athens, Ohio, site of Ohio University, over 1,000 students and other late night partiers chanted “Freedom,” as they threw liquor bottles at the police attempting to control the riot.

Radio Stations AM radio signals propagate much further at night than during the day. During daytime, more stations in neighboring areas can broadcast on the same frequency without interfering with each other. Because of this situation, there are hundreds of stations licensed to operate only in the daytime. Daylight Saving Time can affect the bottom line of these daytime-only radio stations: during parts of the year it can cause the stations to lose their most profitable time of day--the morning drive time. The gain of an hour of daylight - and thus broadcast time - in the evening does not fully compensate for the morning loss.

Voter Turnout in Elections Through 2006, the Daylight Saving Time period has closed on the last Sunday October, about a week before Election Day, which is held the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. The extension of Daylight Saving Time into November has been proposed as a way to encourage greater voter participation, the theory being that more people would go to the polls if it was still light when they returned home from work. The U.S. law taking effect in 2007 pushes the end of Daylight Saving Time to the first Sunday in November. In some years (2010, 2021, 2027, and 2032), this will fall after Election Day, giving researchers the opportunity to gauge its effect on voter turnout.

Amtrak To keep to their published timetables, trains cannot leave a station before the scheduled time. So, when the clocks fall back one hour in October, all Amtrak trains in the U.S. that are running on time stop at 2:00 a.m. and wait one hour before resuming. Overnight passengers are often surprised to find their train at a dead stop and their travel time an hour longer than expected. At the spring Daylight Saving Time change, trains instantaneously become an hour behind schedule at 2:00 a.m., but they just keep going and do their best to make up the time.

Opera Among the first institutions affected by Daylight Saving Time was the Berlin Opera, on April 30, 1916--the evening when the clocks in Germany were to be set forward for the first time. At 11:00 p.m., all German clocks were to be set to midnight. The Berlin Opera, with wonderful forethought, changed its schedule and began its performance of Die Meistersinger an hour earlier than usual. This allowed grateful audience members to be able to catch their customary trains home at the end of the performance. (All trains scheduled to depart between 11:00 p.m. and midnight were immediately behind schedule when 11:00 p.m. changed to midnight, and so left as soon as possible. And trains scheduled to depart after midnight left the equivalent of one hour early.

Violent Crime A study by the U.S. Law Enforcement Assistance Administration found that crime was consistently less during periods of Daylight Saving Time than during comparable standard time periods. Data showed violent crime down 10 to 13 percent. It is clear that for most crimes where darkness is a factor, such as muggings, there are many more incidents after dusk than before dawn, so light in the evening is most welcome.

Antarctica In Antarctica, there is no daylight in the winter and months of 24-hour daylight in the summer. But many of the research stations there still observe Daylight Saving Time anyway, to synchronize with their supply stations in Chile or New Zealand.

Manslaughter In California, a Chevrolet Blazer packed with teenagers struck the median of a street and flipped over, tragically killing one teen and injuring several others. The teen driver, fighting charges of felony vehicular manslaughter, claimed that the street was dangerously wet and unsafe due a lawn sprinkler system. The landscaper responsible for the computerized sprinklers testified that the sprinklers were set to come on more than fifteen minutes after the fatal accident. The outcome hinged on whether the sprinklers’ timer had been adjusted for a recent Daylight Saving Time change, for without the DST adjustment, the sprinklers had close to 45 minutes to make the road slick.

Indiana Indiana has long been a hotbed of Daylight Saving Time controversy. Historically, the state’s two western corners, which fall in the Central Time Zone, observed DST, while the remainder of the state, in the Eastern Time zone, followed year-round Standard Time. An additional complication was that five southeastern counties near Cincinnati and Louisville unofficially observed DST to keep in sync with those cities. Because of the longstanding feuds over DST, Indiana politicians often treated the subject gingerly. In 1996, gubernatorial candidate Rex Early firmly declared, “Some of my friends are for putting all of Indiana on Daylight Saving Time. Some are against it. And I always try to support my friends.”

In April 2005, Indiana legislators passed a law that implemented Daylight Saving Time statewide beginning on April 2, 2006.

Oil Conservation Following the 1973 oil embargo, the U.S. Congress extended Daylight Saving Time to 8 months, rather than the normal six months. During that time, the U.S. Department of Transportation found that observing Daylight Saving Time in March and April saved the equivalent in energy of 10,000 barrels of oil each day - a total of 600,000 barrels in each of those two years.

Likewise, in 1986, Daylight Saving Time moved from the last Sunday in April to the first Sunday in April. No change was made to the ending date of the last Sunday in October. Adding the entire month of April to Daylight Saving Time is estimated to save the U.S. about 300,000 barrels of oil each year.

Beginning in 2007, Daylight Saving Time commenced on the second Sunday in March and ended on the first Sunday in November, thereby saving even more oil.

Births and Birthdays While twins born at 11:55 p.m. and 12:05 a.m. may have different birthdays, Daylight Saving Time can change birth order -- on paper, anyway. During the time change in the fall, one baby could be born at 1:55 a.m. and the sibling born ten minutes later, at 1:05 a.m. In the spring, there is a gap when no babies are born at all: from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.

In November 2007, Laura Cirioli of North Carolina gave birth to Peter at 1:32 a.m. and, 34 minutes later, to Allison. However, because Daylight Saving Time reverted to Standard Time at 2 a.m., Allison was born at 1:06 a.m.

Amish Observance Amish communities in the United States and Canada are divided about whether or not to observe Daylight Saving Time. Although the Amish are generally known for leading simple lives without modern conveniences, practices vary from community to community. Likewise, some Amish communities observe DST, while others do not. In one county in Ohio, approximately 10 of the 90 Amish church districts opt out of DST (known as “fast time” or “English time,” preferring to observe what they term “slow time.”

Stealing Time As with the U.S., Great Britain has had a checkered past with Daylight Saving Time (or Summer Time, as it is known there). In the early part of the 20th century, citizens protested at the change, using the slogan, “Give us back our stolen hour.”

Daylight Saving Donut In the U.S., Arizona doesn’t observe Daylight Saving Time, but the Navajo Nation (parts of which are in three states) does. However, the Hopi Reservation, which is entirely surrounded by the Navajo Nation, doesn’t observe DST. In effect, there is a donut-shaped area of Arizona that does observe DST, but the “hole” in the center does not.

Keitels works hard for Posey County’s youth, now seniors Mount Vernon natives John and Barbara Keitel bleed blue.

They are true blue friends, and they are loyal University of Kentucky sports fans, no matter their Hoosier heritage.

John says it’s common for his wife’s now grown kindergarten students to stop the couple just long enough to let the former Mrs. Grinstead know she rates as their favorite teacher.

Although Barbara taught preschool through eighth grade during her 41-year career, she admits kindergarten was her favorite grade to teach. “I never had a bad day in kindergarten,” she says. She spent 12 years in a kindergarten classroom before becoming the Title I program director and Title I teach$ $ Metropolitan er for the School District of Mount Vernon from which she retired in 2008.

Just last year, John retired also after 25 years of service as a control room operator in the resin and phosgene $ plants at General Electric, now Sabic.

They are excited about the activities and road trips they have planned for their friends. In addition, they are very active in the Faith adult Sunday school class and serve as greeters at the church welcome center every six weeks—among many other things. On
